I've seen some things in my time that have made me angry. I've seen news stories that have made my blood boil to the point where I thought I might have an aneurism. Today I saw a story that's got them all beat.
http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2008/03/24/disabled-woman-to-pay-back-wal-mart-for-medical-expenses/
Read the above link. The writer explains it far better than I can right now.This is, without a doubt, one of the most morally reprehensible and blatantly despicable things I've ever seen in my life. What's next Wal-Mart? Are you gonna eat some babies on live television? Maybe kick some homeless people around for the fun of it?
This is wrong. They may have the legal right to do this but it is in no way the right thing to do.
I encourage everyone to stop shopping at this corportate bloodsucking beast and find somewhere else to spend your hard earned dollars. If you must go to Wal-Mart start asking the employees about this story, tell other customers.
If enough of us keep on the media to shine a light on this injustice maybe we can embarass the jerks at Wal-Mart into doing the right thing.
I need to stop now because I'm too angry to continue without completely losing it.
That's all for now
May the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you, may He make His Face to shine upon you. Amen and amen

Barack Obama's Speach and the Reaction from the Donkey Fedoras
Strap in tight friends this is going to get rough.
I watched the speach by Barack Obama today that covered his thoughts on race in America and his association with Rev. Wright. I found the speach to be genuine, from the heart and a real attempt by him to reach out to Americans as a whole to help them understand where he's coming from. I greatly respect that while he disagrees with the hateful things that the Rev. Wright has said he maintains a friendship with the man.
To be honest I find the entire bluster over Obama's association with the Rev. Wright to be disengenuous at best and an outright dodge at worst. People don't seem to be willing to talk about the issues with him so they go after his friendships and associations; which have nothing to do with a man being President.
I was moved by Obama's speach and the odds are that I may vote for him at the next election if he's the Democratic nominee. He spoke to things that I had been thinking for a long time. He articulated my own feelings of disenfranchisement and frustration with a system that just doesn't seem to work any more. I applaud Obama for having the courage to step up and speak from the heart on this.
The reaction from most of his critics has been positive. That's good because it shows that people listened to what he was saying and understood the context in which he was speaking. Of course there are always going to be some donkey fedoras and boy was tonight no exception. I'll go through the ones I saw, if only to cool the anger that I feel over what was said.
Glen Beck: Donkey fedora number one of the night: On Glen's show he berated the speach, and only played partial clips and the proceeded to talk about how lousy the overall speach was. Nice try Glen, but see that speach is on Youtube and anyone who cares can go find it and watch it in its entirty. Those that do will realize you were being a donkey fedora.
Bill O'Reilly: Donkey fedora number two of the night: On Bill's show he also complained about how the speach had too many bad points and how Obama won't recover because he didn't throw the Rev. Wright under a bus. Bill people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. All your press hasn't been exactly positive so you have no right to judge someone else.
Dick Morris, Sean Hannity, and Frank Luntz: Tied for Donkey fedora number three of the night: The very suggestion that a president has to be willing to throw anyone under the bus is patently offensive and is the entire reason I hate politics and politicians. All of you need to grow the frell up and stop being so bloody judgemental. Who Obama is friends with is none of your business. The only thing that you should be talking about are his ideas.
That's all for now all.
May the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you, may He make His Face to shine upon you. Amen and amen

The President, Elections and Protests, oh my
Here we are my friends and compatriots and boy do I have some things to talk about today.
The news just broke that President Bush vetoed a bill that would have banned the use of waterboarding as well as other "harsh interrogation techniques". The truth be told I expected this, though I'm not happy about it in the least. His reason for doing so, at least according to the reports I've seen, are that the CIA needs to do these things as a means of gathering crucial information needed to protect the country. That line of thought doesn't make any sense at all. Every major psychological study on this subject tell us that torture doesn't work as a means of gathering information; because people will say anything to make it stop. Even if you could get valuable information that way there is still the morality of such things. It is reprehensible to torture prisoners and to hold people without charge.
Now some of you will say that it is ok to waterboard and other such things because our enemies would do worse to our people. I'm sorry but that's not the point. The point is that we're the United States of America, we're not supposed to do those kinds of things because its evil and its wrong. As a citizen of the United States I demand that our leaders cease and decist these heinous practices and abide by the rule of law.
This leads me to my second point, the election. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm pretty sick and tired of the nonsense going on here. We have McCain on the republican side, someone who at least seems to want to talk about the issues rather than his opponents' names or whether or not they're qualified. I get the same impression from Barack Obama and I like that. Personally I'd like to see a race between Obama and McCain in the genreal election. I've seen the Clinton years already and I really don't want to go back to that again.
With that being said I have to say that I'm not really surprised at the lengths Senator Clinton seems to be willing to go to in order to be her party's nomination. Now please keep in mind that much of this is purely based on my perceptions, and I don't claim them to be the correct ones. The red phone ad is a prime example of this and I'll show you why. It is my understanding that the ad features images of young people and an infant about to go to bed and asks the question of who the audience would rather have in the white house. That kind of makes me blink because that could be construed as being really racist in a way. I might be wrong in how I precieved this so I'm willing to listen to other people and see what they though. Anyway my point is that Clinton seems to, from my perspective, be coming just short of demanding that she be the nominee no matter what. If that happens, despite who has the popular vote, then I think the Democratic party may have some problems.
My third point today is reminding you all that the Ides of March are fast approaching. This holds some special significance for two reasons, beyond the Shakespear reference that is. The first is that March 15th is L. Ron Hubbard's birthday, not really important to me but it plays into the second reason as to why its an important day. That date is also the date set for a second world wide protest against the Church of Scientology by Anonymous. I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am at people stepping up and speaking out against the human rights abuses and villianous tactics by the organization behind Scientology. I hope to go to the Michigan protest myself but I can't commit to going because of my health. I encourage everyone to go to www.xenutv.com www.xenu.net www.whyaretheydead.net http://xenutv.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/the-ides-of-march/ and http://www.exscientologykids.com/inde...
Look into those pages and do your own research. Come to your own conclusions and speak out against injustice.
That's all for now all.
May the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you, may He make His Face to shine upon you.
Amen and amen

Our Veterans and O'Reilly's Disgrace
Bill O'Reilly is a disgrace. There I said it.
On tonight's show he made the statement that most of the 200,000 homeless veterans in our country are either drug addicts or have mental problems. If they need help they can go to
Veterans Affairs because that's what they're for. Tell that to the homeless Vietnams veteran who froze to death last November because there wasn't room for him at the Veterans Affairs.
I blame people like you as part of the problem Billy. I've seen your type before. People like you just can't be wrong about anything. People who have to lie to make themselves right. That's right I said lie. You, Billy, are a liar. You contine to bang the drum about John Edwards trying to make the veterans an economic issue, and while that may or may not be a factor in things, the context that I have seen has always been in relation to the treatment of our wounded soldiers. You have to know this. If you don't then you really should save the commentary for someone more qualified.
I'm not overly surprised that you didn't respond to my open letter. Your kind never does. If we don't think like you then we don't love America. We want terrorists to attack the country because we don't support waterboarding because we know it to be torture. You gladhand the troops and use them to boost your ratings and pedestrian ego by visiting the troops and bringing your camera to show what a good person you are. Your kind makes me sick.
I speak as the son of a veteran, the nephew of veterans and the student and best friend of a veteran. I speak for the people who won't call you on your lies and obvious spin job. Oh wait, that's right. You have the "no spin zone". It should read "No Spin But Mine".
One thing you can be sure of Billy. I'm not going away. I'm going to keep speaking and trying to reach the people through my own writings. I'm going to speak out against the lies that you've told about the state of our veterans until you either admit to it or go away. I will not be silent on this.
Like I said in a previous article. You're a bully, and there hasn't been the bully yet that's made me back down from what I know to be right.
As for my readers. This is an important issue for me. I hope you all keep reading.
That's all for now. May the Lord bless you and may the Lord keep you, may He make His Face to shine upon you. Amen and amen. God bless our wounded warriors and may He keep our soldiers still fighting from all the dark places that may harm them.
