It's time to grow up Tiger

I don't know why people are defending Tiger Woods like he's the victim. This man cheated on his wife with probably more than one woman. I can understand giving him his privacy...when he's in his house or in the bathroom. You have to understand that being famous means you have no privacy when you are in the range of a camera. Everyone loves being famous when things are good and your life is going according to planned. But then you start keeping secrets and telling lies and you're surprised when the media finds out?! If you are one of the most famous people on the planet, filthy rich, and you're young and attractive then women want to have sex with you. Is it so hard to believe that when a cocktail waitress has sex with Tiger Woods that she won't be able to keep it a secret? She doesn't want to keep it a secret. Of she did then she wouldn't have kept the voicemails and text messages. Everyone wants to be famous. Some people find a way to do it by sleeping with celebrities. I don't feel sorry for Tiger's loss of privacy. It's something you signed up for when you became a celebrity. Comes with the territory people and he can have privacy when he's at home. Not when he's laying on the ground outside his escalade after running into a tree at 2:15 in the morning. He knew one day these things would come out. Quit trying to say "oh he doesn't deserve this". Well I bet you would think your brother n law deserved it if he cheated on your sister. Or your stepdad if he cheated on your mom. This man cheated on his wife not his girlfriend. Quit being so sensitive.

The Limbaugh Rams?

Rush Limbaugh is part of a group of wealthy investors wanting to purchase the St. Louis Rams. He's not the main guy, just one of the investors but that doesn't matter. There are plenty of sportswriters, liberal media members, and of course, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who are all opposed to this. They don't believe he deserves to be part owner of an NFL team because of a comment he made about Donovan McNabb in 2003. He said McNabb was overrated because the media only wanted to see a black quarterback succeed. That comment is what the roar is about. I can look at that comment and take from it that he was looking at a situation and giving an honest opinion. I don't see in that comment that he hates black people. I don't see that he hates McNabb. People can argue whether it is appropriate for tv or not but should that keep an extremely successful and business savvy guy from being a part owner of a team? Let's look at it this way: Rush has a ton of money and wants to PAY FOR an ownership role in this franchise. Pac man Jones GOT PAID to get arrested 6 times and leave a man paralyzed for life because of a disagreement in a strip club. Mike Vick (who I thought SHOULD get a second chance) got that chance after lying to his team owner, teammates, federal agents, and the league about dog fighting. Ricky Williams got back into the league after a ton of marijuana incidents. Now why shouldn't Rush be allowed to buy part of a team? He's not asking for a spot on NFL sunday countdown again so he can make some comment that people don't agree with. Roger Gooddell is completely against it. He won't have Limbaugh owning a team in his league even though he has given multiple chances to players after breaking the law or making terrible decisions. Al Sharpton doesn't think he should be allowed to purchase a portion of the team because obviously he's a racist and wouldn't work well with the two thirds of the players that are black. Jesse Jackson thinks that Rush's comments should disqualified from being a part owner for this comment. that's the same Jesse Jackson who wanted to cut Obama's nuts off...remember that? and the same Al Sharpton who was made famous by the Tawana Brawley hoax. Give me a break. I think that if this man has brought himself into a position to have the kind of money and business knowledge to buy a team then he should be allowed. I mean the NFL doesn't believe in second chances...right pac man? right williams? right vick?

I Was Way Off!

I thought I didn't like Obama as president because he grew up with such a racist, radical pastor. Because he was in so deep with Acorn during the campaign. Because he changed his mind on investigating our CIA for using force to get information from terrorists. Because he wanted a public healthcare option to cripple 1/6 of our economy. Because he signed the largest spending bill in the history of our country and couldn't even tell us where all the money was going. Because he forced out the CEO of an American auto company and put his own appointee in the position. Because he shakes hands and gets reading advice from Hugo Chavez. Because he is taking missle defenses away from our most loyal allies. Because he appointed a communist to be in charge of green jobs. Because he granted a position with the power to regulate the pay of wall street CEOs to a person who thinks animals should be able to sue people. Because he wants to shut down guantanamo bay and send those religious fanatical terrorists to American prisons with regular criminals and among our citizens. Because he spent billions but did nothing to stop the rate at which Americans were filing for unemployment. Because he has spent more time on television than in the oval office. Because he's given more speeches then days he's been in office. But then Jimmy Carter told me it was just because he was black. I don't know what I was thinking.

Why Isn't Weed Legal?

If I hear one more ignorant person say "they won't legalize weed cuz they can't tax it" I might just start calling them names. Where did people get that theory? If weed was legal then that means there would be private industry producing and selling it. There would be a sales tax on that just like there is on alcohol. I think what they are talking about is if someone were to grow their own then the government couldn't tax that. Well first of all if you did grow your own they wouldn't tax it but legally you couldn't sell it. Legally you can't sell alcohol without a permit. But even if you did grow your own how many people would? If you haven't noticed we live in a society that is obsessed with being lazy. How many people do you think are going to risk breaking the law by buying it from someone or take the weeks it would take to grow their own when they can run down to the gas station and buy it and get high right then? How many more people would be exposed to this drug once it's legal? Don't you think that more people are going to try it under the impression that since it's legal it's not as harmful they thought? Another reason I don't believe they will legalize it is one of the same reasons gambling isn't legal everywhere: think of the lives it could ruin. How many people would be getting high and driving? How many people would be robbed or hurt by someone who doesn't want to buy it from the store? How many underage people would have it? You can say "well young people have it now and they aren't supposed to so what?" but there are less drug dealers in this country than there are gas stations. The whole point is that why would you legalize something that has more negatives than positives? Can anyone tell me a positive from legalizing weed other than the money that will be made from it? I say putting more of a drug in circulation leads to more crime, more intoxicated drivers, and more lazy people. Just think about things for a while before you say something like "they can't tax it" because that's just crazy.

I Can Actually Think For Myself

Why is it that every time I express a view in political matters someone thinks that I'm just a huge fox news fan that doesn't think for himself. Let me say that I absolutely love the Glenn Beck program and I think that he is a very intelligent man. Anyone who has seen his show in the last 3 or 4 months can walk away from it saying that they may not agree with his opinions but you cannot deny the facts that he puts forth. When I start to talk to someone about what's going on in the political world today or the events in this country someone has to say that I'm either ignorant republican or I just repeat what I hear on Fox. Whatever happened to just being conservative and having conservative views? Bill O'riely says things that I don't agree with and I don't always think Rush Limbaugh is right. I have watched other programs like NBC and MSNBC and even HLN and you can't get anything out of those programs. They will only cover national and presidential matters for a short time. When they do cover it they only show the light side of it and not the whole truth. They never show video of people disagreeing. They do however let newly seated senators get on and completely ridicule and demean Sarah Palin and Ms. America. Fox has never let a senator come on and completely dismantle the president. There are things that are happening that I don't agree with and I can talk about because I am educated on those matters. I'm not the smartest person but at least I pay attention and try to learn new things before I form an opinion.

We are spending tons of money. We just allocated 2 billion dollars to brazil to drill for oil off shore when we won't do it here. Democrats have said they will try to pass healthcare reform with reconciliation if they can't get one republican vote. That's an old tactic of splitting up the bill so you only need 51 votes. The congressional budget office has already shown that we can't pay for the healthcare bill by cutting medicare or any other way for that matter. We fall more into debt every second and congressman are just now starting to come around to the fact that we actually expect them to read the bills they pass. We have that stimulus package worth almost 800 billion that we were told we would be able to monitor and see where those funds are going. Can anyone find that? I doubt it. I hope everyone is paying attention and that we can get things changed fast because we are falling at a record pace and may not know it until it's too late.

Straight Forward View Of Public Healthcare Option

I understand that it is unfortunate when people are not covered by an insurance company because of a pre-existing condition. I also disagree that companies should be able to drop coverage because of a new condition or sickness that arises in a paying customer. Our government wants to pass a reform that does a number of things:

1. create a public, government run option with multiple choices for multiple prices.
2. prevent companies from denying coverage for a pre-existing condition.
3. prevent companies from dropping a person's coverage when a new condition arises.
4. require companies to cover all routine procedures such as colonoscopies, regular check ups and the rest of the everyday things that they may not cover now.

Now this all sounds good if those things fit in your category but we need to look past our initial reaction to really think about what this means and what consequences passing this bill would have. If you force an insurance company to cover all routine procedures that they do not cover now it will force them to raise prices to cover these new expenses. That means for all of us Americans like myself who pay each month for our health insurance or get it for a lowered price through our employer that our price will be increased. Another thing that will raise the price is when a company can't deny someone coverage when that person is going to be a client that requires that company to pay more than usual expenses. Saying you can't deny me health insurance for a pre-existing condition is like saying you can't deny me car insurance because of a past accident or DUI. More people who are going to cost a company more money means that company has to raise it's prices. That is a fact. I wish everyone could have healthcare but it's not possible.

Now to creating a public option. It would be a choice of coverage plans at different prices, which would have to be lower than any private company offers now in order to be more affordable. What happens when the government can give you healthcare coverage at a much lower rate than a private company who was just forced to raise their prices because of new coverage rules? Obviously that private company would be run out of business. I can't imagine a way they could stay functional unless they cut huge numbers of employees which would increase our national unployment by hoardes since we are talking about a huge industry. Less people working would have a negative effect on our economy. And if you think that our government doesn't want to phase out private insurers think again. In 2003 our now president said at an SEIU conference he was "a proponent of a single payer healthcare option" even though today he said "I haven't said I want a single payer system" and in 2007 he said he'd like to see us eliminating private insurers in 10, 15, or 20 years.

If these companies are going out of business or raising their prices then people will be forced to drop their now expensive coverage and join the government plan. Now this government plan is run by the government, not by business men who have been running the actual medical coverage industry for decades. Now that the insurance companies are losing customers or employees or shutting down all together there are still going to be plenty of people who still can't afford insurance even on the government plan. How will we cover them? Raise prices or taxes on those who can afford it to cover the ones that can't? Offer a near free option with the same coverage for people who don't make enough money? That wouldn't be fair to the people who are paying more for the same option. We have to understand that we can't have different prices for the same things just because someone is poor and someone isn't. Maybe we should put more time and effort into finding everyone a job. I don't believe there is a way to offer healthcare to the entire nation while being fair to everyone and not completely eliminating the private healthcare sector. I would love to hear any ideas that wouldn't raise prices or cut jobs. By the way there was a recent rasmussen poll done that showed out of the some 46 million americans with no insurance, 43% of those could afford it and chose not to purchase it.

If you want to read the bill that is being proposed then google House Resolution 3200 or HR 3200. You'll find out that it is extremely long and has a lot of "sections" and "subsections". It looks like an unbelievably long tax form.

Take Some Responsibility as a Parent

I'm reading the news paper and there's a story in here about a high school principal's wife, who is also the school counselor, having sex with a student of that school. Says she gave the student alcohol and weed and had sex with him (not all at the same time I don't think). The student was of legal age so it can't be considered rape and he said that he initiated sex with the counselor. Now of course the mother of the student is upset and wants there to be as many charges pressed against the woman as possible. She wants to see her charged with rape even though her son is the legal age and said he initiated the sex. Now I'm not supporting what the counselor did by any means. She has a husband, she's a school employee, and she provided a minor with illegal substances but this kid's mother is putting all the blame on the teacher and not the kid who's old enough to know what he's doing. Why don't you take time to bd upset at the counselor but also think about the job you did raising that kid. I mean he does drink and do drugs and have sex with older women. Maybe you could have taught him better as a child and this never would have happened. That's just our problem. Everyone wants to pawn off their responsibility on anyone else. Take some blame yourself mom. You gave this kid the opportunity to initiate sex with a faculty member and probably never even talked with him about drugs and alcohol. The counselor deserves consequences for what she did but if I were that judge, I'd put that kid's mom in a damn parenting class.
