Tis a sad day

Well, its over, the results are in.  The negative has overridden the positive.  Our great country is about to fall over the the razor blade edge we've been sitting on these past four years.  We are poised to be yet another third world country.

This is what we (Americans) have heard during this last election cycle;

1. No more Taxes
2. No national healthcare.
3. control the budget.
4. Control the deficit
5. Cut the national debt.

Here is what we (not I) are going to get;

1. Higher taxes than you ever thought possible.
2. A healthcare system that is going to both cripple our economy, and deprive the people that really need care they need to live.  we apparently are willing to kill off our elderly in the name of "fair healthcare"
3. A runaway budget.
4. A runaway deficit.
5. National debt that will be at the least 20 Trillion (yes with a "T") national debt owed in a large part by our enemies.

There will be less drilling for oil, we let let everyone drill though, there will be less natural gas, coal is, or soon will be, dead. One day you may have to burn a kitchen chair for heat.

I know some of you either don't understand or just don't care, you're only concerned with whats in it for you, not whats good for the country that has kept you free up to this point.

We will also get, Cap and Trade, and Card Check for all Obama's union cronies as well as an infinite numbers of unelected officials (Czars).

We are poised to tip over the 50% mark of those not paying taxes or living off  government handouts.  That will preclude ever seeing another Republican (conservative or otherwise) elected in our lifetime   We are now officially a Socialist Country.  Do not be surprised if you wind up with a THIRD Obama term, its happened before, it can again.

We are now a country that no longer rewards those who achieve, we are a country that vilifies those that achieve into giving their wealth to those that have no wish to achieve.  We now rob from the "haves" and give to the "havenots" in the name of "their fair share".  We have succeeded in destroying the great country that our founding fathers created.

I'm 67, and I will die soon,  I will not be around to see the shit storm you have created.  My children will though, and their children and grandchildren will.

look at the events of 1917, it could very well happen here.

I'm just sayin'...

Getting A Bit Nervous

Well, it's almost the end of September and the erection campaign drags on.  Oh how I wish it would end.  I have a bad feeling about this election, the two candidates seem to be neck and neck despite their obvious different visions for this grand country of ours, and that bodes no one well.

Mr. Obama wants to drive this country down the road to Socialism and Collectivism.  What?  When all the socialist experiments in Europe are going down the crapper, this nut is hell bent on us joining them.  Worse, there's actually many misguided people that believe in him.  I guess that's not too hard to understand since the 47% of the American people that don't pay taxes, live on the benefits that we tax paying people provide for them, and they still complain that its not enough.  WHAT?  First of all it boggles the mind that 47% pay no taxes...HUH???  You free loaders out there, and you know who you are, need to step up to the plate and pay "your fair share"  Damn, I hate that expression, it so "Obama-istic" and wreaks of Socialism.  You all need to see the "2016" movie.  It will scare the crap out of you,  Those of you that unwittingly elected this Rube will wake up...then again, those of you who did pull the lever for him just wont get it, or probably see it in the first place.  Obama is our countries first Black President.  there's nothing wrong with that.  There are plenty more "people of colour" that I would have voted for with much more experience and ideas that are consistent with our national way of life.  I believe that Obama was elected over others because he was Black (nothing wrong with that), well educated, well speaking, and was Black.  Sad,  but true.

On the other hand, there's Mitt Romney.  Just the fact that is opposes the current King In Chief is enough to make me vote for him.  He has a plan, but seems to be reluctant to voice it, he needs to.  He needs to address us Independents, he needs to address our needs.  Failure to do so gill give us another 4 years that this great country of ours may not be able to recover from.

I don't march in lock step with any political party, but I am a Conservative that has always paid his own way.  I have always maintained that its easy to be a Liberal when you are wealthy, or poor.  The wealthy speak in platitudes about the plight of the poor.  They think the way to ease their consciences is to throw money at them.  The poor on the other hand being used to living at the expense of others, willingly take the money, cry for more and vilify the wealthy that enable them to exist.  It pains me to say that I, Bob Sweet, actually know some of these people...it saddens me.

It saddens me that our leaders feel the need to apologize for the exceptional nature of this great country of ours.  We are a proud people and stand head and shoulders above the rest of the world.  We bow to no one, ever.

Well, I'll be Horney Toad

Ok, first a little house keeping.

1. I have decided to return to the Blogspot format and am going to give up my doamin at WordPress.  Why you ask?  well no matter how hard I try, I can't find a widget, or a gadget, or whatever the heck they call it that tells me who is following my blathering, call me crazy, but  to me that's important, I love my fans!

HUH? that was number one, oh well forgive me, it's The Mad Cow you know.

OK, now to the red meat.  Did any of you watch the Republican Convention?  I did, and there was a veritable treasure trove of great speakers, Chris Christie, Reince Prebus, Marsha Blackburn, Scott Walker, Nikki Haley, Luce’ Vela Fortuño (first lady of Puerto Rico), Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush just to name a few, oh and last but not least Clint Eastwood (OK, not last) and let us not forget Mitt Romney.

I was struck how few speakers actually mentioned Obama's name and how little criticism was addressed to him as a person rather than to the poor job he has done.  He's done a job alright, he's done a job on us, that's what he's done.  Him and his gang of hooligans have pushed this great country of ours to the brink of the black hole called socialism.  I think Marco Rubio had it right when he said "I don't think Obama's a bad person, he's just a bad president".

Last nights speach by Mitt Romney struck home with me, it sealed the deal fopr me.  I was skeptical for a long time.  Picking Paul Ryan as a running mate was the best chiocxe he could hacve made.  All the personal anecdotes about him as a family man, a person of faith,and one that will help another at the drop of a hat without thinking about himself made me realize that  the man I thought was a stiff corporate stick in the mud was a real person whom I would like to know better.

Mr. Romney does not strike me as the kind of person that will indulge in character assassination and spark class warfare as does the Obama campaign.  I know many of the Mormon Faith, and that's not who they are.

In my humble opinion, Mr. Romney is the man to save this country from the vile regime in power now.

What makes up peoples minds for the coming erection

That's a darn good question. Is the public really informed? or…do they follow along like sheep and not think and discover for themselves?

I was in the Supermarket (a.k.a. -Pick Your Nose, Pick n Save, Metro Market) this afternoon, and I went to my favorite checkout aisle with my favorite cashier and bagger (who shall remain nameless). I asked the bagger lady (not Bagger Vance) if she saw the speeches last night from the NRC? she looked at me and turned up her nose. She said, ““they” (meaning the republicans) had no idea what and who the middle class was”. They were millionaires, all of them and came to the convention in their own private jets. and were supported by the likes of The Koch Bros., Fox News, etc. I said POPPYCOCK (darn, haven't used that word in years.)! Then I said “who supports the Democrats, hmm, lets see, George Soros, the Hollywood Elite, Most of the media outlets (who by the way should be ashamed of themselves for their unabashed blathering and and praise of the democratic party. I swear if their were a communist running (oops, there is) they would sweep him into office. Oops, I did it again, they already did.

Then, I see this afternoon that the federal court in Texas struck down their voter ID law, stating it creates an unfair hardship on the poor and minorities. WHAT??? the same thing happened in Wisconsin. Again, WHAT? Now, according the Wisconsin Election Board (appointed by a democrat Governor) you can register with an image of an utility bill on their smart phone, laptop, IPad, etc. Ok now correct me if I'm wrong, poor people and minorities can't afford to get a voter ID card (free) but they can afford the latest electronic gizmos.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
