Hmmm...haven't heard a peep out of Bin Laden lately have we? Haven't even heard of many attacks In Iraq either. In fact the Democrat nominee has pretty much abandoned the whole Iraq war completely as a campaign platform.

Here is my prediction:

You will not hear of attacks in Iraq. There will be no large scale bombings or attacks until after the election.

WHY??

Because the terrorists WANT Obama to win, and they know that if there are attacks or a tape of Bin Laden, it will only bring the people back to the tougher candidate on terrorism. It will remind people that there is still work to do out there and they will want the security of a tough on Defense candidate, and that sure the hell isn't Obama.

The media has pretty much given up on reporting how things are going in Iraq. No bombing reports. No reports on soldiers pissed off at the war. No reports of civilians being killed.

Everything is quiet as a mouse on the Iraq/terrorist front.

That's exactly the way the terrorists want it because supposedly Obama is looking to be the winner. Terrorists will keep their mouths shut as long as that stays the same- because they WANT THE WEAKER PRESIDENT IN OFFICE.

You can't fool me....thugs are the same in Iran as they are in downtown LA.

Predictable.

Okay so I did what most Republicans like me will not do- but hey, I like to be informed. Even if it means dredging through bull crap to get there. I went to Barack Hussein Obama's website. On there he has a cute little' calculate your tax cut" thingy there where you enter your information and they tell you what you will save in taxes under "the socialist's" plan and under McCain's plan.

So at first I put in my REAL numbers. Now I am a single dad, working two jobs trying to make ends meet most months with no help financially, if you get my drift.

Under the Obama plan with my real numbers I will save $500 in taxes, and under McCain's plan I save 462.00.

NOW...I then decided to put in some scenarios off the top of my head. The first one I put in was a head of household person making between 150,000-200,000 a year, with one dependant, no child care expenses, no college expenses, saving for retirement, and a balance on a home loan of 75,000. A window pops up and says-

"you probably will not get a tax cut under the Obama plan."

Hmmmm...now wait a minute, "the socialist" said that everyone making under 250,000 a year will get a tax cut. How is it possible a single dad making 200,000 a year with a 75,000 balance on a home loan and saving for retirement would get NO TAX RELIEF???

The next scenario I put in was a single dad, making 20,000, with 3+ kids, child care expenses, no home, and no college expenses. The amount of tax cut I will get under the Obama plan was-

2027.00

NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Anyone that knows anything about the Bush tax cuts, knows that you do NOT pay income tax on the first 40,000 of income in this country That was a Bush plan in the tax cuts a few years ago, so therefore we can conclude, that a person making 20,000 pays NO INCOME TAX into the system, but somehow gets 2027.00 free money from the socialist, Muslim sympathizer, Barack Hussein Obama.

If you people do not see how this person is not far off from Hitler- then you haven't read a book in the last 30 years. The biggest thing about Nazism was the socialist policies meant to stifle an economy and get every citizen dependant on the leaders of their country for everything in their lives, thus making them become beholden to their government and thus willing to go along with any policy that they may push upon that citizenry, even killing the ire of their pain and suffering- the Jews. By funneling the proceeds of massive social programs to attract willing accomplices in his quest for world domination.

WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!

This man is dangerous for this country, dangerous for the world, and needs to be stopped from running this country. How in the world some of you people can vote for a person like this knowing all that you do about him, blows my mind.. Why? Because you want to keep your precious right to kill your baby? To keep your precious right to be able be gay?? As a Christian I know that eventually this nation will elect a leader that will lead us to hate the Jews and Israel thus allowing us to enter into an alliance with nations bent on destroying Israel. I know that it is going to go that way eventually, thus there will have to be a leader of the US that is a socialist, Muslim, Jew hater in the oval office, or at the very least a wimpy, go along with anything to get along type of person. I fear that we are already at that point on the verge of electing the most dangerous person to be considered for the American Presidency in the History of this nation.

God in Heaven, I hope I am wrong and we have more time left.

I am going to just put this plainly because that's how I speak.. I do not pull punches with anyone. Colin Powell, is a Liberal. He always has been. He opposed the deployment of troops when Saddam Hussein was INVADING another country- Kuwait. He has opposed military force almost every time it has been suggested and instead loves "sanctions". So, for him to back Barack Hussein Obama, is no big revelation.

I want to explore his "reasons" stated though, because yes, believe me it is all about race and Liberalism. The reason he is backing him is twofold, one he's black, and two, he's Liberal. So as he gave his endorsement, he didn't mention ONE policy stance of Obama's that he agrees with, instead he used phrases that even I do not know what they mean. He said Obama has "rhetorical ability"....and "intellectual curiosity"...and another great one was..."intellectual vigor". He also credited Barack with a "depth of knowledge", and an "inclusive appeal". Again, he did not mention ONE policy stance that he agrees with Obama with. NOT ONE. Why?

The reason Powell is backing him is because he is black, he is Liberal and he is against the use of force. Period.

Let's examine what he didn't like about McCain. He said he was unsure on how to deal with the economy. Ummm.....WTF?? McCain has said all along cut taxes , gut spending. Not a lot of gray area in that philosophy, BUT it happens to be a philosophy that Powell disagrees with.

He said one very illuminating thing though that sums up everything about Powell and his support of Obama- he said he would have trouble with the appointment of two conservatives to the bench if McCain was elected. BINGO. There you have it- he is Liberal and wants no part of a conservative majority on the bench.

He also brought up the fact that McCain has brought up Barak's ties to terrorists and wondered why that was important. Liberals never see why hanging out with scum makes you scum. He also opined why being a Muslim would be bad?? If you are a Muslim, you will NOT be favorable to Israel, duh.....that 's like electing a Satanist to teach Sunday school. Idiot..

The bottom line is that Powell is a Liberal through and through, and all his crap about how Palin has no experience blah blah blah. So to sum up Powell's reasons:

Palin has no experience, and MCcain is too conservative. That's it. So you tell, me...does it have anything to do with race? Maybe not, but if it doesn't then it has everything to do with being a Liberal.

Powell couldn't recite one thing that Barak Hussein Obama has done or even cite a policy platform that he agrees with, instead he actually sounded like Obama- said a lot of words that meant absolutely nothing. Maybe that's why he likes him so much- ho sounds just like him. Also- notice the Liberal suck up for the evening- Brokaw apparently never learned how to ask a follow up question when he went to whatever endoctrinating Liberal University he went to in Canada.

Must be where they all learned that "intellectual curiosity" and all......LMAO

Watch closely how someone breaks up. You can tell the most about a person when they are mad. The things they do, the things they say all reflect what kind of person is truly inside. How they truly feel inside but can't express it until they are angry. It's a good way to make determinations about people. I have never called a woman a bad name or vulgar term in my whole life, not even when my heart was gushing blood by the bucketful. I see people on this thing that after one little argument will delete someone from their "friend list". As if this is some major way to relieve the anger they feel towards someone. It is all so telling and so illuminating to me how people have lost the ability to feel for other people. To examine what the other person may be feeling. Sometimes anger and resentment can get you so wrapped up in your own world that it blinds you from seeing what others can see from outside. In the end- always treat someone the same way when you are disappointed as you do when you are elated. It's how you handle yourself in a breakup or disappointment that will always speak of your character and heart, because otherwise someone might just think that the words "I Love you", only meant "when I am not angry with you".

I know not to eat protein before bed. I have taught this to my daughter forever. Protein takes an enormous amount of energy to digest in the digestive system, and can cause your mind to work overtime during your sleeping pattern. This can cause very grand dreams, and some can be very high on the nightmare level, and some can be downright weird. I have had both in my lifetime after eating protein before bed. I went to a guitar recital in which I will blog on later, but when I got home, my dear daughter returned from a friends house. It was late- 9:30 and I wanted to get to bed early because of my show tonight so the voice is in good form. She was so sweet- they went to Omega for a late dinner, and she brought me home some chicken strips. I love chicken and fish and it is the staple in this house. After one beer at the recital, I was kind of hungry so I ate them, took a shower and went to bed. The dream I am about to describe to you is 100% true. Let me preface this with one thing. I have been a single parent for 12 years now. Michelle's mom has spent literally less that 100 hours with Michelle in 12 years. That is not an exaggeration, I have kept good records. She has never been around at all, and we have not heard from her in almost three years.

To say that the past 12 years has been a financial struggle is an understatement. Especially with a 13 year old now. There is never enough food in the house for her, she outgrows clothes and shoes at an alarming rate that I can barely keep up with. Her school activities are constantly draining me financially, and she had to have braces about a year ago to which my dental insurance decided not to cover at all to the tune of 5800.00. I have never had money .Never been on a plane or a vacation for myself ever in 12 years. This year I have made some changes that will change my financial situation but it will take time to take effect so until then I will struggle but the light at the end of the tunnel is very bright indeed. This dream is amazing under that backdrop of my life at this moment.

The dream .

I pull into the club in Champaign Illinois, its raining hard and it's dark. I sit down with two women who run the restaurant, and bar. She pulls out some contracts and her date book so that we can book some dates. She also puts on the table a huge pile of cash.

We then talk about dates over a map of Chicago and the airline routes of Delta and Midwest.. Give her 4 dates- Sept 11, a Monday(it is not). and the 25/26 a Friday and Saturday (it is not but only one day off). The rate is 800.00 for a solo acoustic show. Obviously they have money here. She then wants more dates, but we decide to leave it there as I tell her I need to reserve most dates for my cover band and that I do that out of loyalty to the development of that business. She understands and said when my schedule for The Now gets more developed to call her with the "holes" so we can put more dates on the books. I then tell her we can do a special grand debut with a 9-11show where I do some patriotic songs as well as my normal stuff. The reaction of these girls was telling. They want nothing to do with any patriotic evening, as I notice an Obama sticker on the wall to my right and on the table below me. I then realize I never buttoned my shirt-any of the buttons. We all laugh about it, and she fills out the contracts for 800. and I sign them. Now 800, for a solo show is awesome .Especially since I work with no agent. I was wondering why the cash was there. I think it is to pay m ein advance. Some places do that and for private parties I require a deposit anyway. That's an industry standard.

So as I go to leave the women leave as well, and I am leaving with no cash but three contracts of high paying jobs and I am excited as hell at the opportunity for such high paying jobs that can be a regular stop for me on a monthly basis. By the way she wanted to book me4-6times a month weekdays included. So I leave and just figure the cash was for something else. As I leave I remember I left my jacket downstairs.. I go back to get it and the waitress that was around us with drinks is there, and she says-I forgot to take my advance pay of 2400.00. She hands it to me in cash and says have a great night.

Having an advance of 2400 in my hands at this point in my life would be monumental to me. You have no idea how helpful that would be just the fact that I have the contracted date, regardless of when the money comes in to me, but 3 jobs at 800.00 is a godsend to me. An absolute godsend. I leave the place walking to my car in tears of emotion and thank God of his blessings upon me, and how I am overwhelmed with emotion at how God has covered me with his grace once again.

I get outside and can't find my car. It has been stolen. It's gone. Completely gone. Vanished completely. I look around feverishly, and eventually call the cops. I am dejected and very saddened.

I wake up.

Now I have never had much money so It doesn't even matter to me that it was a dream only. The thought of being 2400 ahead of the financial game was a fun exploration in fantasy, but I wake up with all the same struggles of a single parent that I had before going to sleep, so it's not much of a big let down, but it is a little bit of one.

I realize that god has still blessed me, because I did after all, wake up.

If I would not have eaten that protein I would have never dreamed so big. Everything in that dream was tied to the money, and in some small way God has always taught me that money will never make you happy because at the same time you still have other things to deal with in life. I remember thinking though that on my weekend of the 25/26 how me and Michelle would go down there together and spend the weekend in a hotel with a great pool and so she wouldn't be without me that weekend I was working. After all we in my mind had a great windfall, and the person I wanted to spend it the most on was still Michelle. I haven't been clothes shopping for myself in I can't even remember. That's just what you do as a single parent. Every time I get a little money-she needs a track uniform, or she has out grown all her shoes and pants.

In the end, I wakeup the same person. A person with big dreams of a life of luxury, to wake up and realize that I already live a life of luxury. I am playing tonight, which I will enjoy almost more than sex,

have the rest of the weekend off where Michelle is having a friend over Saturday, and her and I can spend our Sunday together like we always do,. A perfect weekend filled with all the things I love in life, my daughter, my love for music, and my free time. My life already is the life of luxury- thanks to the Lord and His blessings. Sometimes you wake up with exactly the life you have always dreamed about.

I did have to take a peek into the garage though just to make sure, my car was still in there. I couldn't help it.:)

Don't you think as the leader of Catholics and a s a leader trying to bring people to God and the Gospel , that you might want to actually mention what the gospel is in your speeches? I mean the Papal Platitudes being exuded in the past two days sounded like Barak Obama. All this talk about "hope" with no real substance. Get into the word of God. tell people what the Gospel actually entails. For crying out loud in two speeches he actually used the word Jesus twice. He used the word Catholic, and church many times over. To me it was all about the catholic church...me me me, me, me. That's all I heard. When are we actually going to get around to teaching the Bible? When are "church leaders" actually going to take on the sins of the day like the Apostle Paul did?

I do not understand the catholic religion. It is mired in so many rules and regulations of the "church", that most have nothing to do with the word of God, that I don't even recognize it as a biblical religion anymore.

I would love for the Pope to come to a speech and just read line for line, the book of Matthew and the Sermon On the Mount. That would impress me. Until then I will feel sick to my stomach the people in this country rushing to go kiss the hand of the "religious leader". The same people that couldn't even tell you the names of David's two sons that brought about the coming of Jesus and why those two sons are important. They are biblically illiterate and the Pope, this one and the ones before him have done nothing to deal with that. Just sickening.

I haven't wrote about American Idol for some time, so I thought I would throw my two cents in. I am pretty bored with it already and have been for some time now, because this year is filled with some of the most mediocre talent in the USA. A few bright lights in there, but for the most part nobody that stands out as a shining start to sell millions of records.

David Archuletta or whatever his name is. He is a good singer, but he's only getting praise because he's good....for 17. Yeah he sings great for a 17 year old, but if he were 24, he would be an after thought. Plus, he looks terrified when he is up there. he looks like the victim of child abuse to me. He is so timid, and on edge that I frankly do not think he has the stomach for all the demands that wining I would bring,. I think he would fold like a house of cards in the first month with a nervous break down.

Sayisha..... to me she sounds like every black female I have ever seen on the show. She does not have discernable voice like Mariah, Alicia Keyes, etc. Her voice sounds just like every other black female singer. Every time she wears an afro she is in the bottom three. I would like to see her afro with one of those old 80's hair picks in the back. You remember the ones that had like a "fist" for the handle. One of those old ass black picks sticking out of the back of the afro- now that would be tight.

Brook White......Love this girl. She is real, sincere, and has a very unique voice, and I love that her passion shows in her voice. it cracks occasionally, and it wavers too, because she is a very fragile woman. She is also very hot in a wife kind of way. like I could sense that she would take care of our three kids, with one on her hip, and have a great meal ready for me when I got home, all with a smile and a song. She's hot stuff, but just doesn't have the star power to win.

Jason dreadlock guy...first of all, lose the dread locks- you look like an idiot. lose them now because when you get a record deal, they will make you lose them then- TRUST me on that. He's about as smart as a hammer He can't even string together three sentences. he does have a good voice, but he too, just doesn't have the star power.

Carly.....she has become hotter by the way to me. She did something different to her hair and eye makeup that made her hotter. her fashion adviser should be shot though. Carly suffers from "singer-itis". That is the disease that singers with a wide range suffer from. they pick super high songs to show off their range, and never quite build the strength in their low range. So she wavers in the low pitches, and then she has trouble with the high notes. The last song she sang- she was flat 90% of the song. Stick to your 'tessitura" baby! I get bigger applause from songs I do in my low register than I ever get from songs I sing that show off my range. She is missing the high notes ever week now,, because she has singer-itis. Also- that tattoo has got to be covered up it is another thing that is turning off people- trust me on that- it's gaudy as hell.

Which brings me to my pick to win it all. David Cook. He's good. He's not a great singer. What he is a great "thinker". He understands what he is doing and tries to be a "writer" on the show with everything he does. The part makes me nervous is he is clearly getting cocky. You can see it on his face when he sings. That may bite him in the ass. Either way as we have seen before- you don't need to win AI to get a record deal- for crying out loud Chris Sligh released a record!

In memorandum of my favorite Christy Lee Cook. I was sad to see her go. She wore a pair of jeans like nobody's business. Wow what a great body. Bare feet. Beautiful dresses.....man....A perfect 10 in my mind. She was starting to really sing well. She had a problem - when she sang she looked more uncomfortable than Bill Maher at a strip club. She looked like she was nervous and had no star power. She should have went the sexy route, but alas- she isn't a sexy person. I loved that about her too- I hate overtly sexy or sexual women- huge turn off. SO it's goodbye to Christy- but she will be back- she will have deal as well, because you see AI is a fucking joke. Liberals in this country have taken away true competition. If you get on AI and get into the top 12- you will have a deal, period. So what's the big deal with winning first place anyways. Coming in 5th seemed to work for Chris Daughtry pretty well.

Once again- we have to shame Jesus Christ. Are we that ashamed of our maker and God?

So the American Idol singers sing "Shout To The Lord" on tonight’s show and they feel the damned need to take the word Jesus out of the lyrics. Why? If you people out there have a freaking problem with Jesus- get the hell over it. It’s your damned problem not mine. Please do not take Jesus out of the lyrics of a song just so you can sit on your high assed horse and sing a "praise song" and look all high and mighty and act like you love God. YOU DON’T Any self respecting Christian on that stage would have done the right thing and refused to sing the song if they take the whole point of the song out of the song. What a disgrace. An absolute disgrace. I do not want to hear how any of those 8 singers are "Christians". No Christian would willfully sing a song and purposefully take Jesus out of the song to make a SMALL MINORITY of easy to offend nitwits not be offended.

If you people out there cannot take the word Jesus in a song- don’t listen to the freaking song. lords knows I have listened time and time again to black artist tell me that if I don’t like their lyrics I don’t have to listen to them.

This absolutely outrages me to no end. I was literally angry when I heard the first line and they replaced "Jesus" with "shepherd".

What’s wose is that Liberals LOVE to use jesus in argumnets against the war, etc, but they can’t stand the fact that he is in a song they want to sing, so they tell everyone to take the word out. Yet another reason why I will never make it big- becasue I would have said hell no. I am not taking the word Jesus out and replacing it with another word.

What a bunch of pussies , every one of them. Please get off the stage you lily livered cowards.

Conservatism, that is having conservative views has long been argued by me is a majority of people’s views in this country and most others. Even though the Liberal media will try and tell you all along that the country is shifted to a Liberal mindset- do not be fooled. They wish.

Last night in Wisconsin and Milwaukee, you saw an election that featured primarily Conservative views winning strongly in heavily Liberal Wisconsin and more importantly heavily Liberal Milwaukee.

This proves my contention that if Republicans have a strong conservative with un apologetic views on conservatism and it’s values- you will win elections almost every time.

Last night you had a turning of the tide, on the Supreme Court bench with the ousting of a Liberal Judge Louie Butler. This guy was as Liberal as they come, once voting with his Liberal majority to over turn the conviction of a criminal that was identified by the victim 5 times on 5 separate occasions. This kind of judge was a joke to the rule of law,. and the kind of Liberal that likes to make up laws as he goes along. He was defeated, granted not by a big margin last night but by a guy who ran a campaign outlining all of Butler’s Liberal , soft on crime, legislating-from-the-bench ways. This was also key because it now brings the State Supreme Court back to a Conservative majority. Hell yeah baby!

In Milwaukee county- you had a county executive race that was run by a tax cutting , spending reduction candidate in Scott walker. He beat an ultra Liberal in Lena Taylor, handedly even though her campaign called it a close race, and a narrow defeat. She lost like 60-40. Hardly a narrow loss my dear. Again- a candidate that ran on tax cuts, and spending reductions like eliminating empty bus routes and the end of free money to failing government programs. Conservatism- hard core conservatism wins every time it is tried.

We also saw a criminal on the north side McGhee get beat while in prison. This seems like not a big deal, but you have to consider he won in the primary while behind bars. Again- conservatism wins big.

Also for the most part all the Liberal school referendums of huge free money through tax increases went down in flames except for some in districts across the state. Elmbrook, tried to ram down a 120 million referendum many times before. Did the Liberals give up? Never . They just kept reducing the amount of free money from tax payers they asked for until they got the thing to pass.

You see Liberals, will never do with less money. Yesterday as the oil companies got bitch slapped because they " make too much money", Government will never do with less money- unless you are a Conservative. A true conservative. Only in America do you have a successful industry like oil, being punished for success and profit making, while a business like Stearns gets rewarded with a bailout from the government, for their failures.

Hilary Clinton will unveil today, her loopholes that she will require businesses to jump through in order to get tax breaks. It will be filled with ultra Liberal tricks and concessions in order for her administration not to rape business with their mouths gagged and their hands and feet tied. How about this Hilary- cut their taxes. Reward those businesses that are making money- they are doing something right. You never see Government being punished for the 53% on the dollar profit margin they make from cigarettes in taxes. they don’t even make the freaking cigarettes- they just found a way to make a profit from it. A never reducing, never ending profit. It would be like me making money somehow off of Miller beer even though I do not do one thing to make it or distribute it.

So, it has been proven time and time again- that the way to beat Liberals, is to run on hard core conservative values. Tax cuts, spending cuts, strong Conservative values like tough on crime initiatives, and a judicial branch that enforces the constitution, not re- writes it.

The look on Butler’s smug Liberal face was oh so sweet today. To see him and his Liberal buddies get a loss handed to them was so sweet to see. Even in a Liberal state like Wisconsin, you can beat Liberals easily if you just get Conservatives behind a powerful Conservative message.

Watch though for the race card to be played in these losses. All those losers I mentioned were black. Watch for it- it will come. They may even try to blame it on what is going on in the Presidential race too. They are so predictable.

The only problem is that we don’t have a hard core Conservative in John McCain. You see, McCain buys into the crap that to beat Liberals you need the center, the moderates. That has never been the case ever in History. No Conservative has even won on a moderate message. No Liberal has ever won on a Liberal message. It’s crap because all the wins last night for conservatives were by true conservative values- not moderate values. Tax cuts, spending cuts, tough crime laws, and getting government out of the way of businesses and them creating jobs.

I really hope that John McCain is watching. Knowing him he will just be the 70 year old man that he is, and he still just wont get it.
