I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE
Yes, I have a confession to make. I voted for Donald Trump yesterday. I waited until today to confess it, because I did not want to have any undue influence on any of my readers from Florida.
Let me start by saying that I supported Trump almost from the beginning.
Why? Because like so many others have said, he says what I wish I could say, Or in the parlance of the times; He tells it like it is.
It's been said over and over, there is an intense anger out here in Middle America, yet it still doesn't seem to sink in to the establishment that it exists. In the meantime, Trump plays to it, and racks up the wins.
What's funny is listening to the "Talking Heads" who say, "Yeah, but he can't get 50% of the vote, anywhere" True he hasn't, but when he's sitting there with 48.6 % and second place barely has 22%, it makes you pundits look like fools.
That's just personal opinion folks, and you know what they say about opinions.
I got into a heated discussion about this on a music site that I frequent.
The Liberal to Conservative quotient on a site like that is about 50 to 1, but I have always felt that one must stand up for their principles, and I stood up for mine.
I can't quote anyone directly without their approval, and I'll be damned if I'll go through that mud pit.
So, to put it as close as possible, the liberals want to know why we are so mad. Well, you can start with the PC wormhole that we have drifted into. Most of America is over it, but somehow those in charge never seem to get the memo, so it just goes on and on.
In just the last couple of days, I heard a news item that said our troops in basic training are having to go through classes that teach the sins of "White Privilege"
REALLY?!!
That's the same kind of crap that is happening on our college campuses as well. That's why a majority of Millennials see no problem with Socialism. Of course they don't see a problem with it, they've been indoctrinated by the "cradle to grave" government overseers since they entered Kindergarten.
Every week it seems we find out some school in the middle of "Nowhere" is teaching anti- American ideal classes.How about the one where you can't give a child a zero on their paper, even if the only thing they got right on it was the spelling of their own name (sometimes, not even that). Nope, got to give at least a 65!
Really?!
Yes, really.
The left seems to think we are only mad at the PC crap because we want to be able to use the "N" word again. They actually said that!
I'm more concerned with the new trend of not being able to use the pronouns of "He" "She" "Him" "Her" and go from there! I'm not kidding folks! If you haven't heard this story yet, you really need to start researching just what is going on in your child's school.
Oh, and then there are the Transgenders. What could possibly be the problem there? Well, try this on for size; I'm a 53 year old man, suddenly I say I'm a woman in a man's body, and I'm able to use the bathrooms where Mothers and their daughters are, and I can't be told that I can't. In fact, don't dare tell me that I can't.
THIS IS HAPPENING OR COMING TO YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL!!
It will also soon be in any and every shopping mall.
But saying this is wrong makes me "Heartless" Or so they would have you believe.
I'm not heartless. I DO believe that the Constitution guarantees equal rights, but it doesn't give anyone EXTRA rights! So, while I don't agree with gay marriage, the court said that it was legal, so therefore I stay out of it. (anybody who thinks that any politician can or will change this, needs to wake up)
What I mean by extra rights is this; If a business, who for religious reasons (remember Religious Freedom, anybody?) refuses to bake a cake for a Lesbian wedding, they should not be run out of business by the government.
YET THEY WERE!
If the people put them out of business by no longer spending money there, then that is a protected right, and I have no problem. But, the city and county Government did this to them. I have a BIG problem with that!
So, should you!
Every time something like this pops up, my wife cringes because she knows that she is going to hear me scream at the TV; "AND THEY CAN"T FIGURE OUT WHY WE ARE SO PISSED OFF!!"
Deep Breaths...Deep Breaths...Deep Breaths...OOOOOOHHHHHMMMMM...BP down now. That was a close one.
Ok, back to the Trump thing. Did you see that debacle in Chicago last weekend?
I laughed my ass off last night when Trump not only won Illinois, but he took it by a large number, A LARGE NUMBER!!!
More to the point, HE SPANKED THEM!!
He is a better man than I though, I can tell you that. If I had been in his shoes last night, I could not have helped wiping Chicago's nose in it's own pile of crap and using a newspaper on it's behind!
There's more. I'm just getting warmed up. But, I'll stop here for now before I really step in it.
One more thing though; So now it's Trump and Cruz. Cruz is a snake in my book. I get shivers down my spine everytime I hear him speak, and not in a good way.
Though it pains me to say it...I would rather it be Hillary over Cruz.
That should tell you something.

SO, YOU WANT FREE COLLEGE, HMMM?
SO, YOU WANT FREE COLLEGE, HMMM?
I am sick to death of hearing how these spoiled college students shouldn't have to pay back their loans. News Flash Sparky, NO ONE MADE you have to take the loan in the first place! No one MADE you go to college! Those were your choices.
Too many people don't even get that choice.
Now you think you are entitled to a free college education. How is that going to happen? Oh, we are just going to take more money from the rich. Guess what? We have been saying that the rich have to "pay their fair share" for 50 years or more! Every President gets tax increases by using that line, but somehow they still aren't paying their fair share?
REALLY?!
Maybe you need to use the basic math skills that you were SUPPOSED to learn in high school, and figure out just who IS paying MOST of the taxes. If your home gets a refund, then it isn't you, Brainiac!
Don't misunderstand me, the rich should pay more because they have more. But how much is enough?!
And BTW, that "more" should go to charities, and cancer research...etc..etc. But, NOT to some entitled little clown that has never been told "NO" in their life!
This is the same mind set as the "Everyone gets a trophy, no one wins, no one loses." crap! You know where that leads to? Do you? It leads to that "free" college degree that you got (or will get) being as useless as that stupid "Participation" Trophy.
That's really all that free degree will be, a certificate of "Participation", never mind the grades or working to earn it. NO, there would be no need for that, because "I participated".
That will make that degree and YOU, useless to society. Who is going to want to hire someone like that?
Oh my, well there's where the REAL crux of the matter is, isn't it? Now laws would have to be passed saying that you can't refuse giving a job to the so called "College Graduate" who still can't add 2 plus 2, (I guess we could label it under "Pre-existing conditions".) It won't matter that the guy owns a business that needs real skills, be it research, engineering or a hundred other things that require a special knowledge to perform and do right.
As long as you get yours, right?
So here is how it will go;
2016--Free college (Because how dare we expect you to pay back those loans?)
2020--Free cars (Because how dare we expect you to pay off the note on that overpriced vehicle you just had to have?)
2024--Free Houses (well duh! Mortgages are SOOO yesterday, and besides, I'm entitled!)
And on and on it goes, because the politicians will always play to the lowest common denominator.
Well, one side will anyway
One last thought; No matter what you hear/read/or believe, it was people taking out loans on homes that they had no way in hell of affording that caused the mortgage crisis, and sent us into the recession of '08 (Which we are still not out of ).
Think "Student loans", and does anyone else get a sense of "Been there, Done that" besides me?
One more last thought; Let's say that the taxpayers DO get stuck with paying off your student loans. You want to take a guess who'll be paying off the next generation's student loans?
That's right, Sparky...It WILL BE YOU!!
Because they are entitled!
And damn it, they participated!
