Citizenship

I understand that our country has always had the policy that anyone born here is automatically a citizen, but WHY is that? If the parents are citizens, then no matter where a baby is born, that person should be a citizen. However, I don't think that just because the mothers manage to illegally get through the borders should be a reason to be made a citizen.

This is a problem which is going to get worse instead of better because the illegal immigrants in this country are breeding at a much faster rate than previously known. As citizens, these babies are going to place more and more demands on the social services and the school system. Services paid for by our tax dollars, not their parents, who as illegals may not be paying any taxes.

Bailout Bullshit

Why is it that we're now spending time, energy, and tons of money to make sure the people who shouldn't have been able to purchase their houses in the first place, don't lose their houses? People who live beyond their means should not be coddled. They should be punished otherwise how are they going to learn their lessons? Foreclosures on houses, failing businesses, repossessed cars - those are the indicators that should tell you that hey, you're over-reaching and should rein in your spending. But no, instead we're giving them handouts (also known as WELFARE), forgiveness, and not even a slap on the wrist.

When our children blow their allowances, do we just keep giving them money? No, we tell the child to spend more wisely and suggest ways for them to earn additional funds, but we don't keep giving them money. We shouldn't otherwise they won't learn the value of a hard-earned dollar.

Apparently no one seems to know the value of a hard-earned dollar.

Um, I'm sorry, but what?

So the president who ran under the whole "The Irag war is bad and we need to bring those people home" banner is now sending 17,000 additional American troops into Afghanistan.

Which, from I've read and heard, is more dangerous than Iraq.

Can you say big fat fucking liar?!

What the hell is wrong with the people running this country? I mean, really. How on EARTH is it even fair, possible, or fiscally responsible to be giving tax refunds to people who don't even earn enough to PAY taxes? Why should they be getting money for doing nothing? Is this going to be another welfare program? Why should MY tax money go to people who don't pay taxes at all? And if they're going to do that, why SHOULD I be compelled to even pay my taxes?

That being said, how on earth are we going to make things right since we cannot depend on our government to do anything but throw money at problems in order to make them go away? What can we as average citizens do to help out the morons who have spent how many years with the heads stuck up their asses?

Going with Obama's divide, I should think that the people who earn at least $250K have a responsibility to continue to spend money. Those people should be going out to dinner, getting that new computer/phone/game system, splurging on their coffees, their lattes, their magazines...

American is a consumer-based economy; we have to continue to consume. That being said, the people under that divide who don't have enough to spend on frivolous purchases should start saving and paying down their debt. They are the people who need to stop spending money beyong their means. These are the people who bought houses they could barely afford and contributed to the mortgage crisis we are dealing with currently.

Consequently, they're probably the same fuckers who get a tax refund.

Litters of babies

It should be socially unacceptable for a woman to give birth to a litter of babies. Eight babies should be counted as a litter. It should outrage people to discover that she was purposefully implanted with frozen embryos and has no job, probably no health insurance, no husband, lives with her parents, and already has six children including a set of twins.

What was this woman thinking? What kind of doctor would be okay with implanting eight embryos? Interviews with doctors regarding this are outraged, no one admits anything, and she’s not talking.

Who gave that doctor their license? How are these things regulated? And if they are regulated, should that process be re-evaluated at this point?

They are ridiculously small, run the risks for tons of health issues, and will probably end up with learning problems as well. No insurance means that in the long run, it is the American taxpayer’s money paying for this health bill. Why is that a good idea? Plus, learning issues means more early intervention special education at the public schools. More tax money spent on special education for children that shouldn’t exist.

Yes, I’m harsh. This is R. I. D. I. C. U. L. O. U. S. And I am not afraid to say so.

Socialism anyone?

What's really killing me now is the obvious bias that just about every major media outlet is exhibiting in their coverage of the political race. The hot topic this week is the "Joe the Plumber" incident in which an average citizen attempted to ask an honest question and the treatment that he's received as a result of it. For one thing, he asked a freaking question, and was respectful in the asking. Because of this, every Tom, Dick, and Harry has been checking into his background attempting to discredit him. It doesn't matter about his background. What matters here is NOT whether or not he owes back taxes or has his license or eats peas with his knife or anything else. What's important is that he asked a question of the Great and Wonderful Oz-ama and is being treated like a bad guy. The person who was questioned is running for president, and although he's not currently DOING the job for which he's still drawing a salary, he's a FUCKING PUBLIC SERVANT! He needs to be asked questions and he needs to answer them. He's not the messiah, people. Quit it.

The real scary thing is that so much emphasis is being put on the Plumber that everyone seems to have overlooked the answer that Obama gave to the question - he wants to spread the wealth around.

So, are you ready for socialism? Because that's what he's saying when he says he wants to spread the wealth around.

A short definition of socialism: "Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism by nature concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital, and creates an unequal society. All socialists advocate the creation of an egalitarian society, in which wealth and power are distributed more evenly..."

Runs contrary to and counter to the usual thought of the American dream. I didn't work through college, live in public housing, and get myself off of welfare to turn around and give away everything. I managed to work my way up in the world and so has my husband. I'm not doing the work for other people. Let them do it themselves. More examples of the Democrats taking such good care of people that they don't manage to learn to take care of themselves. Isn't there a proverb about that?

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. "

Dear Mr. Obama,

Your adoring fans aren't doing you any favors in my neighborhood of Northern Virginia. Please let them know that while graffiti as an art form may be an acceptable means of expressing oneself in Chicago or some other big city, it's usually NOT acceptable in the suburbs.

The Obamessiahmaniacs who are spray-painting your name all over the trees and lightpoles around here are vandalizing and defacing public property. They're not doing you any favors either in that people like me see what they've done and think not fondly about the message but rather annoyedly.

I'm not at all surprised given their obvious lack of judgment in the first place.
