R U IN FEAR OR IS IT JUST THE RIGHT WING LOONIES

it used to be that Americans were gun ho about everything and never feared anybody from the outside doing anything to us. now ever since 9/11-WE AMERICANS have become a nation of sissies and i don't mean the Gay kind. Representative Foxx of north carolina stated no less than 9 times that her constituants "feared" what "this house" is doing. By "this house"-she means the house of representatives that is controlled by the Democrats and along with that the Dem. controlled senate and the White House with that black president-Barack H. Obama.

Is she really saying that the good old boys from the south are soooo frightened that they are about to poop in their pants because of the passage of the health care bill now pending passage in the house? with all of their pistols and rifles and automatic weapons and yet they still tinkle in their overalls!!

if she is talking about the so-called "tea-baggers"- not to be confused with the origional tea baggers of the gay varity--that is not the impression i or anyone else would get from watching all the U-TUBE vids out there.. to me, they all looked to be pretty pissed off at the fact that this black person actually beat their chosen one-PALEN- AND NOW IS THE RULER OF THE FREE WORLD--OOPS SORRY- I MEAN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

i wonder if any of her constituants are fearful that they will not be able to pay for BOTH rent AND health insurance?

i wonder if any of her constituants are fearful because their unemployment payments will run out next month?

i wonder if any of her constituants are fearful because they see no future for their children because they do not have access to higher education.

I WONDER IF ANY OF HER CONSTITUANTS ARE REALLY AWARE OF THE LIES AND DECEPTIONS AND BLATANT USE OF RACIAL FEELINGS THAT ARE USED BY THE LIKES OF REP. FOXX AND OTHERS ON THE RIGHT??

AND LASTLY, I WONDER IF HER CONSTITUANTS REALIZE THAT THEY ARE BUT PAWNS IN A GAME OF GOTCHA AND THAT THEIR ELECTED LEADERS ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT KEEPING THEIR HIGH PAYING JOBS, THEIR GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH INSURANCE, AND THEIR RELENTLESS ATTACKS ON ANYTHING THAT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA DOES OR SAYS- NOT BECAUSE ITS FOR THE GOOD FOR AMERICA---BUT SOLEY BECAUSE ITS FROM THE PRESIDENT OR THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE/SENATE.

ITS BEEN A WHILE--SOUNDS EASY BUT WRITING DAILY IS A BITCH

FIRST OFF--MY APOLOGIES FOR THOSE WHO CHECK IN ONLY TO FIND NO RECENT RANTS, RAVES OR ANYTHING.
its been a whirlwind of inactivity since i got back from my road trip to montana and i was just not up to it emotionally. me-being a person who's personality is that of a roller coaster, just couldn't find the mental time to put my thoughts to print. its like letting the dishes or the laundry pile up and everyday u see the mess you tell yourself that tomorrow you will clean up and then tomorrow comes and you just don't have the energy to do the dishes and on and on it goes. every time i am on here and go thru my bookmarks i see -RANTS & RAVES FROM MY GAY SIDE- and go thru the same thing.

SOOOOOOO-

I HAVE DECIDED THAT THE EASIER WAY OF DEALING WITH A DAILY BLOG IS TO BREAK IT UP INTO SECTIONS. I THINK IT WILL GO SOMETHING LIKE THIS----
MONDAYS=rants on some current affairs, videos or shared articles from other sources
TUESDAYS=videos of any and all nature- be they funny, sick, sexy, newsy, etc
WEDNESDAYS=raves on anything and everything
THURSDAYS=back to rants, etc
FRIDAYS=reviews of movies, books, anything i've done, been to, seen, ate. maybe even a recipe or two
SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS= lite blogging of anything that comes to mind.

now that i've said that, i do reserve the right to rant/rave anytime it hits me. but, i think with this format, i will have the time to gather info and put it to paper.

also, i do invite everyone to join in and comment on this, that, or the other.

A LITTLE SOMETHING I WROTE AND WAS PICKED BY ANDREW TO POST ON HIS BLOG--I THINK ITS GREAT

The Camo Closet - The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan

I've been reading all the comments from both sides regarding abolishing DADT and I wanted to share my two cents worth.

I am a 58 year old gay American Vietnam era veteran who served with the U.S. ARMY from April of 1970 to April 1972. I was drafted and if I'd had my wish - I would have enlisted in the Air Force. I did my basic at Fort Ord in California where I was a squad leader with like 10-12 guys under me. From there I was shipped to Fort Hood, Texas for the remainder of my 2 year stint. My MOS (Military Occupation Specialty) was military police. By the time I arrived at Fort Hood, Tx., most of my close buddies knew of my gayness and were ok with it.

I had one incident when this short, very drunk kid yanked me out of my bunk and kinda pushed me and then let loose with a short burst of "faggot, etc, etc." He then stormed out of the barracks and later that evening I was sitting on the steps and he walked up to me and apologized for being a jerk and that was the last and only time that these supposed "lower class, unsophisticated, red neck" kids ever bothered me. If anything, I was protected and left alone. Back then we had open showers and toilets--no privy stalls/partitions and no one seemed to mind this tall, skinny, gay guy showering alongside them. If anything, I was hit on on a few occasions and yes I took advantage of the opportunity.

Now some 40 years later, my nephew, a Marine drill Sargent with 3 tours in Iraq tells me that he personally knows Marines who are gay and so afraid of being found out that they are forced to do the dishonorable thing and lie about their sexuality and date girls just to fit in. i\I can't imagine the stress and sadness these young men go through just to be able to serve in the Marines and serve their country.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE TIMES I CAN HONESTLY SAY--"PRAISE JESUS"

LETS SEE--AN OLD SOUTHERN WHITE GUY TALKING ABOUT OUR BLACK PRESIDENT--HAVE WE NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE??!!

ITS SO UNBELIEVABLELY RACIST THAT IT BOGGLES THE MIND. DID THIS SENATOR NOT REHEARSE HIS WORDS AND THEN NOTICE THAT IT SOUNDS SOOO CLOSE TO THE TERMINALOGY USED TO KEEP BLACKS IN THEIR PLACE NOT TOO LONG AGO?

OR---MAYBE HE DID REHEARSE HIS WORDS AND KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE IMPLICATIONS WERE AND DIDNT GIVE A SHIT CAUSE HE CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS A PRESIDENT THAT WAS ELECTED BY A WHOPPING NUMBER OF OUR FELLOW CITIZENS WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE BLACK AND POPULAR.

SENATOR CHAMBLISS SHOULD JUST MOSEY OVER TO HIS CLOSET, DUST OFF THE WHITE SHEETS, ADD SOME SPARKLE TO THE DUNCE HAT, AND WEAR IT PROUDLY WHILE WAVING THE CONFERATE FLAG. MAYBE HE CAN GET A COUPLE OF "NEGROS" TO CARRY HIS LILLIY WHITE, WRINKLED ASS ON THEIR SHOULDERS AND PARADE HIM AROUND THE SENATE CHAMBERS--I WONDER HOW MANY HIGH FIVES HE'D GET FROM HIS STILL IN THE CLOSET BIGOTED FELLOW SENATORS??

YEA, I KNOW I'M BEING TREASONOUS FOR SAYING THAT SOMETIMES I'M NOT TOO PROUD OF BEING AN AMERICAN--WELL THIS YEAR I'VE HAD A LOT TO NOT BE PROUD OF. I COULD TOLERATE IT A WHOLE LOT BETTER IF THESE RACIST JUST CAME OUT AND STATED THAT THEY HATE OBAMA CAUSE HE IS WHAT HE IS--BLACK
