My lawyers (in my head) are telling me that I have to clarify that. To which I reply...."Okay, I'm buying a gun...Today! Immediately! Pronto! (but wait....is that a racist comment...the pronto?) Anyway, I woke up this morning with a splitting headache but I didn't let it keep me down (that's what pills are for). I got ready, dropped the Kennedy's off at their designated day care / School areas, dropped off the dog at the groomers and began my day when I decided to turn on the radio and see what had happened with BP and the oil spill. That's when all the trouble started...
While driving, I was listening to "The Nearly Famous Barry Young Show" (quite possibly the funniest morning show in the history of talk radio). All of the sudden, they started talking about "La Raza" and a High School Teacher in San Tee, who was speaking out at a rally. So I thought "Hmm, High School teacher, probably just making sure the kids weren't getting too unruly, and said something stupid, which turned into a soundbite for Barry and Michelle to crack on him for". Harmless...right? Wrong. What this teacher was saying reminded me of Mel Gibson in "Brave heart" before he had his men go into battle.
So, I listened to it 2 times in the car and then when I got to work...4 more times. So...what I was wondering was...why in the hell is Janet Nepoli-skankfest looking at our Veterans and the Tea Party for possible Terror attacks? It seems to me like the word "Revolutionary" might be Spanish for TERRORIST!! They are calling for every Hispanic person in America to take their rightful country back? So I decided to look up exactly how we stole that whole California territory.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, by American diplomat Nicholas Trist and Mexican plenipotentiary representatives Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain, ended the war and gave the U.S. undisputed control of Texas, established the U.S.-Mexican border of the Rio Grande River, and ceded to the United States the present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming. In return Mexico received US $18,250,000
So...we bought it. Maybe we could just produce a receipt and fax it to these La Raza guys and they will just shut up... Not likely. This High school teacher referred to living in America as being in "the belly of the beast". He was calling out for students and others in the crowd not to write books or learn or talk about revolution, but to live revolution every minute of every day. And the whole time I was hearing this, I was imagining that there was a little white kid in his class. I hope for his sake there wasn't. I remember going to high school and while not trying to learn, I actually learned alot. I went to school in California, and I don't remember our teachers telling us to start a revolution. I don't remember being told that we were on the northern front of a revolution. I must have played hooky that day.
So I spent the rest of the day stewing about how I was going to buy a gun or five or six. "Bring it on!" I thought. Because I'm not going to be afraid, and neither should anyone else. This is our land. We allow guests in (immigrants) with open arms. It is time for the uninvited guests (illegal aliens) to go. Now I'm not telling you to go out and look for a fight, (because if you do go all vigilante on me, I'm gonna laugh at you when I watch you on "COPS") all I am saying is; Keep your eyes open and keep your ears open. So I was mad all day and into the night, ready to hit this blog like a possessed banshee. Screaming obscenities and calling all to arms like Paul Revere. Except instead I would be yelling "La Raza is coming!! La Raza is coming!!"
Then just when My wife goes to bed to give me quiet so I can concentrate, I see on the news that other states are working with Arizona Lawmakers to mirror our new 1070! Just want to give a quick shout out to; Idaho, Texas, Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Minnesota. Welcome to the Revolution. We have cookies. when I heard this news I was Jubilant (can I say Jubilant without sounding gay? Probably not...but who cares). Then she come on the TV and ruined all of my fun. Kirsten Sinema. (or Kirsten Enema as I have affectionately Dubbed her) She came on saying how she had no doubt that the law would be Repealed and the other states would give up as well. By the way, is that a wig she is wearing? Don't mean to be a hater....but....she is not attractive.......slump buster. that's all I got today.

How do we keep our resolve without going insane!!!
Alright, I only have an hour or so before I'm gonna have to go to bed. Today has been a great day. A day without news or depressing visuals from Greece (the crystal ball that every Republican looks at to tell the future of our country if we don't change our ways). It was a day filled with love and family. My wife, knowing how vexed I have been with all of the issues surrounding our country like a ravenous pack of wolves, she kept me away from the computer, the news and bless her heart, she held me to 2 twitter checks all day! Amazing.
Now however, as my wife and the Kennedy's (my children) lay asleep in bed, I sit here awake rumbling. I just wanted to check. No big deal. I thought I could just surf around for 10-15 minutes, find nothing interesting and just go to bed. But the more I look around...the more I find that things are making me angry. Not just "Boy Chad, did you see that thing on the news yesterday? That's just too bad", angry. No, I'm talking about more like, "Hey Chad. Did you bring your shot gun? Let's go on the rooftops and shoot the first person we see that has an Obama bumper sticker on his car!" That kind of mad. The kind of mad that is shameful for a person to admit. I admit it. It is wrong. I know. But what is the alternative? It seems like everyday we are getting poked in the ribs by someone who either wants us to apologize or wants us to conform, or bend, or agree, or sign on, or give up.
First let me drop my disclaimer, "I don't condone violence and please take what I say for what it is, just random thoughts. Do NOT want anyone to shoot at Obama Supporters (the last thing we need is more martyrs)."
That said....what do we do? We are trapped in a cage match with both hands tied behind our backs. Example; when Obama was running for President, (seems like forever ago to me. God make it stop!) whenever someone tried to say anything negative about Obama, they were charged with "not running a clean campaign" or "mud slinging" which with Obama was code for "attacking a black man" or "being racist or a bigot". McCain (not that he was very formidable anyway) didn't have a chance. Problems like this have plagued us for years. The big bad Republicans only care about money and war. We have seen over the past two weeks that Obama has taken money from Goldman Sachs and British Petroleum (BP), More than any other politician. Democrats are hiding behind the very large "Race card" that they have constructed since "Affirmative Action".
The answer is simple...We ARE doing all that we can do. Spend the next couple of months getting who we want in line for the elections. Raise funds, Raise awareness and be vigilant. I live in Mesa, AZ. Anyone who is familiar with Mesa, knows that we have one of the biggest populations of Mormons this side of Utah. I am a Catholic. I liken the Republican Party to the Catholic Organization and the Mormon Organization to the Democrats. Now before I start getting hate mail from the Mormons, hear me out.
The Mormon Church is very astute in networking, as are the Democrats. Did you ever wonder why every Mormon you knew growing up had a trampoline? The answer is simple. Almost all trampoline companies are based in Utah. You guessed it. They are owned by Mormons. They support each other, they patronize each other, they fight for a common goal. Sound familiar? Now being Catholic, I know a little more about the "In's and outs" of the Organization. Catholics are only now scratching the surface of their networking potential. They spend more time and money taking care of people who can't take care of themselves....Hmm....Sound familiar?
Now for extra credit, why do you think that the Democrats and the "Lap dog Media" have spent so much time discounting and not covering the TEA PARTY? Do they not deem it news worthy? Why do they scream racism without proof? Why Does Janet Nepoli-Skankfest tell us that our terrorist attacks are going to start coming from angry white men, War Veterans, and Right-wing Extremists? The answer is simple.....THEY ARE AFRAID!!! Conservatives coming together at rallies in the numbers that they are would be like Catholics riding on bikes, door to door, to beg you to come to their Church. That just doesn't happen. The Catholics and the Republican causes both enjoy seating on the correct side of the majority. They don't need to go out and get you. You (the majority of Americans) seek them out.
So the lesson here I guess is; by staying the course you are winning. In fact, the only way we can lose is if one of us loses their cool and does something stupid to disgrace the Tea Party Movement. So do what you have to do. Send money to the GOP if that helps you sleep. Personally, I just scream into a pillow when no one is around, or I just hop on here and yell into cyberspace until I can't keep my eyes open. Speaking of....

Education bill in AZ a Sham
In a few weeks there is going to be a special vote. All of the Arizona citizens are going to the polls to decide either to add a new tax to take care of the massive shortfall in school money. If we vote yes on this bill, AZ tax-payers are adding 1 cent to the taxes that they already pay to help to cover the money needed for education. As a conservative and someone who has had to tighten his financial belt, I have had apprehensions about making this commitment. I was starting to soften in my stance of late, as I'm sure that most others are also having a bit of a gut check. With all of the commercials on the radio telling us to "make the tough decision" and the billboards plastered around town, it is easy to see why our resolve is in question.
Maybe this will help...
The school district in AJO has been busy of late, taking care of all the students....THAT LIVE IN MEXICO!!!! After an audit by the superintendent of schools of AZ. It was discovered that over 100 students in the AJO district had falsified addresses here in the states, but in actuality, resided in Mexico. Now I know what you are thinking....How much can 100 students really cost? Well, let me tell you. After preforming the audit, the state superintendent wrote a report explaining the offenses and handed the AJO school district a bill for roughly 1.2 million dollars (give of take a few dollars either way). That will be taken out of AJO's funding for next year. (Please take a deep breath and allow this to sink in....)
Meanwhile in Tucson....
our tax dollars are breeding racism and racial division. Check this link out!!
www.americanchaos.wordpress.com
With these GREAT programs and many many more that we have no idea about, it is apparent to me that we will be throwing good money after bad by giving a yes vote. I think that if we stop giving them money, it would in a sense be like when you turn a light on and all of the cockroaches scatter. They will have to cut programs, and we will figure out what is truly necessary. Some times "The tough decision.....is to not make the tough decision"

May Day "peaceful protests" and NY "stalled car"
How is it that the Tea Party can get riot police called on them for singing "God Bless America" and the so-called "May Day" Marchers can parade through the streets breaking windows, throwing paint bombs, and spraying graffiti on the walls and none of it is on the main street media? I am absolutely appalled (though not surprised) that these people holding anti-American pictures depicting the Governor of Arizona Jan Brewer as Adolf Hitler and Sheriff Joe Arpio as a Klan member. Despicable. Had the Tea party done something like that with Obama or Reid or Pelosi... well The Tea party would never do that. They continue to take it all in stride. The abuse from the democrats, the media, the president. Could you imagine President Bush saying something negative about a grass-roots movement? A person in Iraq threw 2 shoes at Bush, and President Bush (after ducking) let the guy ask a question. Could you imagine Obama doing that? The answer people is no. We are dealing with a class-less person who has only one thing on his mind. Pushing forward his own agenda.
So this weekend I was busy working with the Wife and was unable to watch or listen to the news. This morning as I was getting ready for work, I saw on the news the "Man made disaster attempt". (laughter) Two things struck me as I watched the coverage. 1. Holy Crap, did we get lucky. 2. close the damn border. How many times does New York have to get hit before we do something about it? I also heard that they were looking for a middle aged white man. Since all of the middle aged white men are tea Party followers, it made sense they wuld throw that out there. (pathetic)
The events this weekend have proven yet again, that we need to take our national security seriously. While I was glad to see the protesters out there, (there were tens of tens of them!) most of them acted ridiculously immature. If there was a Mexican-American problem with the new law, well lets just say I find it very hard to believe that they would stand next to the people protesting without a "I'm with stupid" T-shirt.

Tales from an Arizona Redneck??
As I have said before, I live here in AZ. I love it here. I work in a job that makes a modest income and allows me my true passion. To interact with people from all walks of life. I take the time to see the world through their eyes, through their perspectives. Everyone I come in contact with, from radio and TV personalities to delivery drivers, Hispanic or black or white, Democrat or Republican, Everyone here that I have talked to can agree on three things.
The first is that Illegal Immigration into Arizona is getting out of control. People outside of the "border states" don't understand this. "Non-Border state" people envision the movie Born in East L.A. with Cheech Marin running and hiding, trying to get people across the border, and having an "aw shucks" attitude when the mean old border patrol agents catch him. These Illegal Invaders are now carrying assault rifles and they are using them. (Another Law Enforcement Officer was shot down yesterday, by "suspected Illegal Immigrants".
The second thing that I've learned is that the supposed "Sanctions and Boycotts" that have been already placed or are going to be placed are ridiculously hilarious (or at least they would be if they weren't so insulting). In fact, I don't recall such disdain and disregard from state to state since....Well, that would have to be the Civil War. Now I know what you're thinking. You're (outsiders) thinking "exactly right!" That we are not unlike the slave traders of the South, holding our thumb down on someone with darker skin than our own. The one problem with that, is that we are not trying to hold on to illegal immigrants, we are trying the expel and repel them. We want them out of our country. THE ONE'S THAT ARE HERE ILLEGALLY!!! This country was founded by immigrants, and without Lawful immigration I know that I for one wouldn't be here. These People coming across the border illegally, most of them are coming across for legitimate and honorable reasons. Either they are trying to make money to send back to their families still in Mexico, or they are trying to make a new life for themselves. The problem is, these people they are not paying into the system which they want to be apart of and they are taking all of the freedoms and privileges as if they were (such as health care, social security, education and welfare). Then there is the other people coming in, the criminals. Over 17% of all illegal immigrants caught, were previously convicted of a crime here in the U.S. and were shipped back to Mexico, only to come on back and do it again!!! OVER 17%.
The final thing that everyone here is saying, is that our government (past and present) has done nothing to help us. Even Our own Janet Nepoli-skankfest, spits in our face. She even had the stones to say a few days ago that "Our Borders are more secure now than they have ever been". She was our Governor last year!!! President Obama does nothing but spur on the lies and rhetoric that the left media repeats like the "good parrot on his shoulder" that they are, begging for a cracker. Has no one read the law? Has Obama read it? Given the way he has responded to it, there is a good chance he hasn't. Does anyone care?
The one good thing that I have heard out of all of this is that a few other states have read the law. Texas has already started planning a bill to mirror our law, and I just heard yesterday that in colorado 66% of people were in favor of doing the same. If the government isn't going to help us until November (you know what happens in November), then we have to attack this thing state to state. "No ten point plan". How about a 2-point plan. 1. Close the Border 2. Enforce the law. That's it.

.....about me
Many things had to come together just right for me to end up here in the purgatory known as "Blogger ville". I do not consider myself to be someone to be listened to, and growing up a middle-child in a non-communicating family did little to combat that. I am writing these thoughts down so I don't go outside my door and scream at the top of my lungs "What the ---- is the matter with you all!!!!" This way is much quieter, as my demeanor prefers.
I am young for a man (33) I think. Far from middle age and far removed from puberty. I have a wife, 3 children, 3 dogs, a mortgage, a 2ND mortgage, bills up to my elbows, thousands of dollars in exercise equipment that I don't use and a garage full of clutter that seems insurmountable. My wife would be saying that my time would be better served in that garage. Of course, I'm paraphrasing for "Get off of your lazy ass and do something!!" Luckily for this blogger she is off working, leaving me in charge of " The Kennedy's" (my children Bobby, Jack and Joey).
My wife is an amazing woman. Confident and beautiful. Her abilities match her conflicts as she is trapped between 2 worlds. The world she lives in and the worlds she wants to live in. She lives in a constant state of motion. Ever vigilant to react to the next crisis in our soap opera in suburbia. I believe God puts all of us on this earth with purpose. He places us where he does for two reasons. The first reason is for us to fill a purpose. The ever huge and popular "Reason I'm here". The gift that God blesses us with to fulfill our destiny. My wife has the amazing gift to repair and create all things. It doesn't matter what it is. She is truly amazing in this aspect. The other reason God puts us where we are, is that we are all lacking in one thing, and what ever that is, we are here to recognize it, understand it, and then overcome it. My Wife has no patience. That is why God brought her to me. I am here to teach her patience.
Now, to the things that have been pissing me off for a while. I'm tired of hearing about Global Warming or Global Climate Change and Earth Hour. Earth hour? Are you kidding me? Don't these people have anything better to do than organize a time where around the world, for one hour we all put ourselves back to the stone age. What if instead of doing that meaningless gesture, we (for one hour) all took a look at things we don't like about our country and came up with solutions to send to our congress or our representetives? If nothing else, could you imagine the floods of paper that these people would have to deal with?
Another thing that makes me crazy as long as we're on the subject of Government. Why do these idiots that we put in charge constantly find new ways to make themselves look like retards!! Here in AZ, we just had a bill shot down about creating a state drink. This was a guy that I voted for! I was on the freeway when I heard about it and I just wanted to drive my truck off the nearest bridge. Our state is already in the red big time. We need to make some tough decisions about programs to cut, and that was before President Bonehead decided to unload his excrement all over the constitution and cram this healthcare turd sandwich down our throats. So...on the eve of that colossal Turd Buffet, were all of the law makers just sitting around, when one of them stood up and said, "Hey boys, I know! Let's decide on a state drink." REALLY????? I'm going to ram my head in the wall for a while.
