"I Yam What I Yam"
......Says Popeye the Sailor, and Bazookaman too. As we go through these various blogs, a lot of different opinions pop up from time to time, and just so there's no further confusion, I'm gonna lay out, as briefly as I can (which WOULD be an accomplishment for ME), what I'm all about, so some of you guys out there know where I'm coming from. A few of you out there already do.
First and foremost I'm an AMERICAN and a kid from the 50's. Our country comes FIRST, before the rest of this planet. Anybody who doesn't like or understand that, is free to leave. Those who desire Canadian-style healthcare or a European lifestyle in general----MOVE. I don't want OUR Constitution tampered with. It was bought at too high of a price. Go ahead and leave---you won't be missed.
There was some goofball from California up at Wal-Mart complaining to my wife that they had a better home & garden selection back in Stockton, California. I told her that if it had been ME, I'd have told him to take his "California butt" BACK to Stockton and don't let the door hit him on his way out!
I grew up in the "Roy Rogers/Gene Autry" era where the good guys won, and the bad guys were HUNG---not "reasoned around" or "made allowances for." I still believe in that.
I am very "black & white" and do not have that proverbial "gray area" of "compromise" a lot of people think I should have. I don't believe anything is "SORT of ok." It's either right or it's wrong. Period.
I'm a hardcore right winger, although I've never been a straight-ticket voter.......which I've always considered to be a stupid decision. Screw the "party"---vote for the individual YOU think will do the best job.
I'm a gun owner because I CAN be. Don't lecture me on the deaths caused by firearms, while you stand there puffing on your Camels, killing your liver with booze, then getting into your car drunk as a skunk and heading down the road.
I was getting a cup of coffee one evening, and as I turned to walk out the door, some dude who'd been standing behind me, gestured to my holstered revolver that I was openly carrying and said, "I don't like guns." I stopped, looked him dead in the eye and replied...."Well, DON'T BUY ONE!"
Idiot.
My "B.S. Tolerance Level" is nowhere near what it once was, and it never WAS that high to begin with. I find as I get older, I care less and less about what "society thinks"..........just like my grandfather.......and YOUR GRANDFATHER too. At 63----I'M the only one I have to impress.
If you're an Obama supporter, I don't support your president. Not because he's black, but because of his liberal agenda, so go play that "racist card" somewhere else. I don't call him "YOUR president" out of some kind of dis-repect, because BUSH wasn't "my" president either. Ronald Reagan was MY president, and I haven't had one since.
Peace through Strength-------for the eight years the man was in there, nobody used our flag for a doormat. I'll always believe a lot of what Reagan was, was his age itself. At 69 when he entered office.......HIS "B.S. Tolerance Level" wasn't what IT used to be either.
I hate communism and anything that even LOOKS like it, but one DOES have to give the Soviets their "due".........they DO command respect. They are hard people and terrorists do not fly airliners into THEIR buildings, threaten the Kremlin or anything else.........because simply, the "Ruskies" don't PUT UP with this silly crap. They AREN'T "politically correct."
There WAS a bombing of one of their official buildings years ago. The KGB not only hunted down and exterminated the bad guys, but before they DID, they tortured information out of them, and then killed the FAMILES of these pukes. That was THAT, and nothing further ensued. Everybody KNOWS not to screw with them!
Should we be like THEM? No, but security-wise, we SHOULD be as tough as WE once were. We USED to execute spies like the Rosenthals.---but we're just a bunch of "appeasing, accomodating, apologizing, catering, politically-correct DIPLOMATS" today------and it's COSTING us.
I believe in PROTECTING our borders, not attacking OUR OWN STATES for it................I realize that's a stupid concept in 2011, but I believe in it anyway.
I believe in balanced parenthood. Love the kids, reward them for good behavior, and warm the seats of their pants when they DON'T mind. As a kid on the "Hill", I earned every butt-warming I ever got. By TODAY'S pinko standards, my Mom & Dad would have probably ended up in San Quentin for merely spanking one of us---------and that's what most of these little un-checked, un-ruly little brats need-------and you see them EVERYDAY in any department store, working their way into the future jailbird system, while "mommy & daddy" try to "compromise and reason" with them.
B.S.
"WE are the parents....YOU are the child", that's how it's SUPPOSED to work.
I'm sick of being systematically robbed. I want my tax dollars ACCOUNTED for........and I want to see a day where there's not a SINGLE FACE in WASHINGTON that I recognize. I'm convinced that if God decided to give the world an enema, Washington D.C. is where he'd stick the hose!
I cannot STAND having to press "ONE" for English.......then when you DO get somebody......THEY dont speak it worth a hoot, and you STILL have to ask for THEIR supervisor.
A LOT of things that people are willing to just roll over and accept today..........are NOT "ok" with me. I'm a "fifties kid" and do not comprehend ANY PART of this mongaloid 21st century perversion. I will DIE a "fifties kid"......and proudly.
Illegals should be DEPORTED......not REWARDED. You shouldn't have to be a Republican to figure that out.......just a taxpayer with your eyes open.
Veterans' pensions shouldn't be taxed. If you don't understand THAT.......YOU give YOUR private life up and go fight in the next one. The rest of us won't mind.
I'm a MARINE. And I'm PROUD of it. I might be a little more vocal about it than others......but maybe I'm just a little prouder than others. Not ALL of us were grunts.......some were Air Wing types, radar types, supply or admin types.
Those of us in the old line units who went nose-to-nose in the bush with "Charlie", see things from a whole different perspective, than a guy turning wrenches on a Phantom. I'm a Marine, and an old Marine with an attitude. If someone has a problem with that, I'm not at all hard to find in this town. I can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. You choose.
If revolt becomes necessary in this country, as I believe it eventually will, I hope to live long enough to partake in it. It would be the first time in my life that I actually DID get to fight for OUR country. THEN when the cashier says "thanks for your service", it actually WILL mean something.
I love my '56 Oldsmobile. If the EPA DOESN'T, they can "kiss it."
I respect the rights of others:
If you wanna smoke-----smoke
Wanna drink?----drink
Wanna do drugs?-----go for it (unless I catch ya trying to "sell" to schoolkids, which wouldn't be good 'cause I don't dial "911")
And if I wanna drive vintage "gas guzzlers" and "carry a little iron", that's MY business, not anyone else's........so if we're all just polite, not infringe upon one-another, everyone should get along just fine. You don't blow cigarette smoke in my face or try to sell drugs to one of my grand daughters, and I won't "whiz" anything in YOUR direction. We don't violate each other's rights, and everything's cool.
Wanna debate on these blogs? I'm always glad to exchange points of view. "When the terms "moron", "Ignorant", "Racist" and all these other quaint quotes come up------it doesn't matter how many CREDIBLE things you might have to say AFTER that........I just "changed the channel", and you're talking to yourself!
I don't play this "Your mama wears combat boots" crap.
Well, there are some other things, but that's basically where I stand. I WILL mention one last thing here, though------and I don't really expect to see anything like this in Mountain Home-------just a quiet, solemn word to the wise......
If I EVER.......hear of a funeral going on here in town, for one of our active duty personnel killed in action, and a bunch of these low-life scumbags show up to protest it, they'd best pray to God that the cops get there before I do. That's all I'm gonna publicly say on that.
"I Yam What I Yam, and That's ALL What I Yam".............and just like old Popeye, there comes a time where "That's all I can stands......I CAN'T STANDS NO MORE!"
