Most of you know my stance on being truthful. After all, I've blogged about it many times in the past, and some of you have even challenged my stance on the issue. So, why then do I keep harping on ethics? Well, I'll tell you. It's because you guys just don't get it. Well most of you anyway, that is.
As I've said many times in the past, "A lie from a person that we hold in a position of trust is truly disgusting." Where it be a teacher, preacher, cop, or political leader, is really troubling to me. But you guys, well most of you, consistently blow it off and swallow his explanation.
Billy lied when he denied that he had sex with Monica. Yet when Monica produced the dress that she was wearing when he blew an ounce of steaming semen onto the collar, Billy explained that he didn't consider that sex. And you guys, well most of you, accepted that. And, I don't get that!
Now, we have the Senator Sestak case where the White House (that means the MacMuslim) promises Sestak a job if he withdraws from an election so that the Obama favorite would win. Bribery? But Holder explained that his investigation has concluded that there was no evidence to support the allegation ever occurred. But Sestak did it, he admitted it, but Holderr said it never happened. And, you guys, well most of you, seem to not care because that conduct is quite normal in politics. And, I don't get that!
So, this Blumenthal dude tells his crowds, several times, that he served proudly in Vietnam. Now, he explains that he "mis-spoke" about his military service, and was never really in Vietnam, but somehow thought that he was. He made those campain statements because he believed that would increase his popularity in the election. Mis-spoke? What is that? And, you guys, well most of you anyway, seem to accept it. And, I don't get that!
Trust and Obey, for there is no other way. So, am I so alone in my beliefs? Perhaps I am. And, I don't get that!

On the Front
.
There are those that either are, or have been on the front. And, I say it in that way because once you've been there, the attitude you develop never really goes away. If you've been there you'll know what I mean, but if you have not, I'll try to explain it. Don't worry if you don't get my point. Most won't.
"Front" is usually associated to a military use. It is the forward line of battle. Where the mud and trenches are. Where the fighting and misery are at their worst. Where food and comfort are scarce, but death is but an elbow away. It's where the "grunts" are.
But grunts are elsewhere. The factory workers on the assembly line, the emergency room staff, the cop on the street, the preacher in the ghetto, the deck hand, the short order cook, or the pit crew. Grunts are the unsung heroes, getting the job done right without boasting about it.
And then there are the "Pogues." Pogue is also a military term most likely created by the grunts to describe those holding non-combat positions. But pogues are elsewhere too. They are the factory Ceo's, the medical center's directors, the police commander, the Pope, the ship's captain, the restaurant owner, or the race car driver. The glory hounds. The famous who keep their grunts at their heel. Pogues are usually someone inept, or who claim to be more that what they are.
Although grunts have made this country what it is, Pogues actually are running it. The Long Legged MacMuslim is the classic pogue. One who has risen to power through deceit, and seeks to maintain it with deception. And, pogues surround themselves with other pogues to protect themselves. Biden, Piglosi, and Holder are the Mac's top spots, but the pogue kinds are all over. The House and the Senate, Democrats and Republicans alike, are filled with pogues who have no concept of what grunt life is.
As the grunts struggle to defend our borders against the intrusion of undocumented democrats, the pogues are locked amid their gated communities and tax payer provided luxury jets.
Few grunts ever desire to become pogues. But some pogues become grunts when they are knocked from their thrones by the grunts themselves. I love grunts. Power to the grunts!
What else is new? So do you want to know what the military term "Snafu" means?

Working nights
.
In Those Days, I usually worked the night shift. First in the early 70's building airplanes, then though the 80's in law enforcement. I actually preferred the graveyard shift (usually midnite to dawn) over the night shift (3pm-midniter). In the airplane industry, as a perk, we only worked 6 hours but got paid for eight. We used to call it the "Gravy Train."
Those that worked nights were different. Some worked it so long they seldom saw sunshine and developed sort of a pale greenish hue in their skin. Not me though. I'd make a dash to 7-11, get the ingredients, and we'd all go to the beach for some sun while waiting for the morning rush hour traffic to end.
We were different from the pantie waists that worked during the day. Just as with those that we dealt with in the darkness, we were a different breed. Those that hang in the shadows (on both sides) had to be different to survive. We had little supervision to contend with and got the job done quicker and better without them. We were the workers. We kept the stats up so those working in sunshine could shine. Night watchers despised them, just as they despised us.
But working nights takes its toll. Night shifters tend to alienate themselves from the "normal" ones. The ones that run the show. And they tend not to care about running the show themselves, but care only about getting the job done and surviving for another night. On the night shift, one's health and family affairs suffer as you don't eat properly, and rely on nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, and sarcasm to survive.
I was one of the lucky ones. I saw in time, what I had turned into, just in time to change. I bailed out. I went to the day shift. The sun shiner's club. Normalcy. And I studied those that are true day shifters. And I learned to think as they thought. And I was able to promote. And I was able to join my family in meaningful ways and share with them those important times. And my family then prospered. And my life had meaning.
But the night shift is why I am what I am. It was how I came to be me. It made me hard on the outside. Hard while the battle raged, but quiet when it was over. Always asking the hard questions, while challenging every answer. Trusting few, but loving only my family and those that proved themselves. A loner. Quiet. A dreamer who seldom laughs in the presense of others. Seeing most things in a way thatsome don't, or won't admit to it. Speaking out with the truth that is often so offensive to some, but respected by others. A hard worker that seems to always get the job done, one way or another. Sometimes crying in the quiet times. And sometimes sitting alone in the night, laughing out loud while all else is still.
And, I respect those that work the night shift. The different breed. And, I cheerish what the night shift gave me. But, for me, Those Days will never return.

The Costs for Cheap Tomatoes
.
Since many of you are, or have been school teachers, I thought this would be an interesting letter that you would relate to. I have modified it so that it would better fit your screen. The teacher wrote:
I am in charge of the English department at a large SoCal high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.
Most of the school protests in the news lately are Title 1 schools. Here, students receive free breakfast and lunches. I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll, but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud.
Half of our students are obese or at least moderately overweight. Three quarters have cell phones. Our school provides day care for student mothers. After spending nearly $700,000 this year on new computers, I'm am sickened because half of them have been carved with graffiti.
Free medical, free education, free food, free day care etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
Many argue that these illegal aliens contribute to our society because they like their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes. They need to spend time in our neighborhoods to see the true costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education, overcrowding, new diseases. For me, I'll gladly pay more for tomatoes.
We need to wake up. We are rapidly becomming a third world country and it has e everything to do with culture. We will soon be a country that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school, that refuses to assimilate, and a culture that has become so weak and worried about"political correctness" that we don't have the will to do anything about it.
Cheap tomatoes? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about? Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage. Consumers don't want expensive produce. Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs. But the bottom line is cheap labor.
But there is no such thing as cheap labor. Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he will pay no income tax, yet if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an Earned Income Credit" of up to $3,200. He qualifies for subsidized rent. He qualifies for food stamps. He qualifies for free (no deductible) health care. His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school. He requires bilingual teachers and books. He qualifies for relief from high energy bills. If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. If qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicaid. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance. He requires Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material. He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits. Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6..00/hour left after paying their bills and his. Cheap labor?
Well, the labor is still cheap around the Thought Dock my friends. But, of course there are neither tomatoes nor aliens there. Yet things are just fine without them.
Enjoy your weekend.

Thought Dock Sermon
.
There are times for all things:
There are times to preach;
and there are times to pray.
And, those times are here to stay.
But, there are times to fight;
to preserve our American way.
Throw them out;
Politicians and Aliens alike.
No longer acceptable to tolerate,
those that siphon from our lives.
And, begin with MacMuslim;
because we don't have to love him.
Throw his brother Holder over your shoulder,
and bury with him, the liberal Nancy Pelosi.
Amen
.

Where are we going?
.
A few years ago, the European Union (EU) promised that socialism would recivilize Europe and restore unionism, environmentalism, pacifism, and entitlements. In America, we were lectured by progressives that almost everything Europe (and Canada) did was better. Socialism was all about subsidized mass transit, college tuition, maternity leave, and early retirement.
Now, the Halfblack MacMuslim’s presidential campaign was a stealthy referendum on making us just like Europe. And once he was elected, he immediately cleverly raised taxes in ways that most of you can't see, expanded government, took over key private industries, ran up our debt, and oriented himself with our enemies and allies in a triangular way.
Few Americans wanted to listen would listen EU way about demographics and immigration was bleak. The idea that history has shown that socialism is suicidal for civilization was cast aside by American liberals.
And as the EU pledge to tolerate liberal perspectives, like free sex and drug use, infuriated Muslims. The result was that the Europe's own Muslim population, and the neighboring radical Islam states clashed to no end.
Few Americans wanted to listen when it was pointed out that the EU, because of socialism, was nearly defenseless and unable to protect itself from Russian bullying, radical Islam, and a soon to be nuclear Iran. The EU reluctantly participated in the war against the Terror only to appease America so that we wouldn't abandon them militarily.
Americans refused to see that the EU's socialism had led to almost no growth in recent history in in comparison with other democaratic nations, that unemployment in Europe was staggering, or that worker productivity was poor. Who cared that the EU saw economic growth at only half that of America, and that it discouraged new businesses?
Folks, the EU is on the verge of collapse. And, without the umbrella of support from America, it certainly will fail. Sooner than you think. But, America is following in the footsteps of the EU with the Halfblack MacMuslim at the reign..

Follow the arrow
.
A few years ago, we were visiting with our grand daughter G, who was about three years old then. I was playing "School" with her in her back yard. She chose to be the teacher, so I had little choice but to be the student.
My teacher instructed me to gather some rocks from the yard so that we could study them. So, together we collected a variety of specimens and brought them back to the porch for discussion.
As I presented each rock, she would examine it closely and describe it to me by size, shape, texture, and color. And then, she would tell a story about how the rock came to be.
While her attention was elsewhere, I drew a simple arrow using a piece of yellow chalk, on one of the rocks I found. That rock was a gray one, about the size of your palm, flat, and smooth.
When she picked it up and examined it for the discussion she said, "Grandpa-D. Look at this beautiful rock. It has an arrow on it!" So, I replied that the rock was in fact a beauty and casually asked about the significance of the arrow.
She held the rock with both hands and turned it every which way that you can imagine while staring at the arrow. Up, down. left, right, and all around the arrow would face as she carefully thought about it. Then she said, "Well, if you ever get lost and become scared because you don't know which way to go, just follow the arrow. It will always lead you to God and He is in a safe place and He will protect you."
Wow!! That really blew my wife and I away. What a testimony of Faith. And, that was the beginning of our efforts to adjust the priorities in our Faith and get back into the grove. And, so tomorrow, my wife will publicly declare her Faith during a Baptism, which was motivated in part by the Faith of a that three year old grand daughter.

Federal Responsibility?
.
Did you know that any violation of federal law is a felony? Unlike state law, there are no class levels for crimes, such as felonies, misdemeanors, or infractions. And, to harbor a federal fugitive, is also a felony.
It has always been that federal law can be enforced by any law enforcement officer. And, in most states, an officer that fails to take action when a felony is committed in his presence, is a violation of law in itself.
And, it has always been that our local cops enforce federal law. They are expected to arrest bank robbers, money counterfeiters, kidnappers, terrorists, and attacks on our politicians, all of which are federal law violations; except immigration. So, why is that?
Entering this country illegally is a federal law violation. And, like all other felonies, it is illegal to harbor an illegal alien. So, how is it that we allow our own elected politicians publicly harbor felons by giving them safe haven in their cities? The leaders of Los Angeles, San Franfaggo, and the others are violating federal law by harboring fugitives and should themselves be arrested.
If we don't want the law enforced, them we should remove it from the books all together. Is that what you want?

Now that's odd
.
Suppose you host a family reunion at a public park and invited guests, some of which you have never met. Now, suppose that you notice a Black gentleman standing in line for the barbecue dinner. Unaware of any Black relatives in your family line, you think, "Now that's odd," and you take further investigative action only to determine he he a freeloader before kicking him out.
Suppose the ticket agent at your local drive-in notices the car entering the gate is sagging in the rear, yet there are no passengers in the back seat. So, he thinks, "Now that's odd." As he continues to watch, the car parks, and six teens climb out of the trunk. So they then are removed apprehended and kicked out of the show.
Now, a few months ago, the Long Legged MacMuslim noticed two people seated at his private party that he did not recognize. And, he thought, "Now that's odd." He summoned his guards and when they determined the people were uninvited, they were kicked out.
Each of these incidents are not racial profiling as some people claim. That is because each time something was odd enough to attract attention to themselves. And that is precisely why cops are trained as such. The more facts they learn about who commits crimes, where, when, how, and why the crimes occur, the easier it is for them to act upon a situation without profiling.
They begin their investigations based solely upon their knowledge, training, and expertise, and as the situation developes, their suspicions grow enough to where they can then effect a detention.
So, the allegations that the liberals are claiming are completely unfounded. MacMuslim's remark that families in Arizona having an ice cream cone in a town shop will be subject to harassment by the cops is completely out of line, and meant only to create fear in us. But, it was of no surprise to me considering the stance he took when his Black college friend was detained by the cops.
And why do most of you favor amnesty for the criminals that are entering this country? You'd be furious if some one sat at your dinner table without your invitation! There is no difference with how we must run this country. Illegal Aliens (or refuges as some of you are now calling them), have no right to invade our country, use our resources, and have their children. If we can't catch them all at the border, they should be caught where ever we find them.
I've got to check beneath the Thought Dock before they get that too!

They begin their investigations based solely upon their knowledge, training, and expertise, and as the situation developes, their suspicions grow enough to where they can then effect a detention.
So, the allegations that the liberals are claiming are completely unfounded. MacMuslim's remark that families in Arizona having an ice cream cone in a town shop will be subject to harassment by the cops is completely out of line, and meant only to create fear in us. But, it was of no surprise to me considering the stance he took when his Black college friend was detained by the cops.
And why do most of you favor amnesty for the criminals that are entering this country? You'd be furious if some one sat at your dinner table without your invitation! There is no difference with how we must run this country. Illegal Aliens (or refuges as some of you are now calling them), have no right to invade our country, use our resources, and have their children. If we can't catch them all at the border, they should be caught where ever we find them.
I've got to check beneath the Thought Dock before they get that too!

Law of the Land
.
With the creation of man, so there were laws. God ruled over man through His law. And, He was the Judge, and He punished those that disobeyed His law. And, so it has been since the Forbidden Fruit was eaten.
And, as populations grew, God appointed leaders for us to follow in His way. And they made laws. And, he appointed judges to rule fairly on the laws, and executioners to punish offenders appropriately. And, He has instructed us to follow our leaders and obey our laws.
And, America was founded on these very principles. And, every American has the responsibility to obey the laws of our land, and the decisions made by the judges about the laws of our land. And, it should be comforting to know that God will hold our leaders and judges accountable for their actions if they are outside God's way.
So, whether I agree with our law or not, I'll abide by it. I'll not threaten or harm our leaders or judges if they act or rule against my favor. I'll wear a motorcycle helmet and obey the speed limit, if it is law. I'll pay my fair share of taxes without protest (keyword "fair") because it is law. I'll enforce the laws fairly if I'm in a position to do so. I'll go to war if my leader calls. And I'll encourage others to be as me.
For those that refuse to follow our leaders, refuse to obey our judges, or live by the laws of our land, I'll have no sympathy when God passes His judgement and punishments on them. I'll show no sympathy for our leaders or judges that are corrupt from God's way when their day arrives.
So, to those that kill doctors that perform abortions, or to those that removed the cross from a California war memorial after a judge ruled against them; may God have mercy on you.

How much longer?
.
Do you watch Survivor? I presume you do, because I do, and have done so for over a decade. And somehow (usually because I bring it up if some one else doesn't), the show becomes a topic of conversation at nearly every social event I attend. And, so it did just the other night while I was dining with friends. One thing now seems to be certain. The show is quickly losing interest with many of us. So why is that?
On another note, here are some facts that I've recently collected from various published sources: (1) Government spending was 24% of the Gross Domestic Product in 1950 and could hit over 50% this year. (2) Published reports from the IRS report that 60% of all Americans now receive more in income benefits from government than what they pay in, and that number will grow to 70% within the first term of the Halfblack MacMuslim. And (3), while everyone is expected to pay payroll taxes, IRS further states that only 47% of us do. And, many Americans are losing interest in America. So why is that?
Perhaps, if you are like me, you believed that Survivor was about "The best person winning." Perhaps, like me, you thought the group would eliminate the weakest person on the team and the most productive, strongest, and the one with the greatest degree of leadership would prevail to the end. Perhaps, like me, you realized that would not be the case. Instead like me, you saw the laziest, the biggest cheater, the boldest liar, and the most parasitic one ride the shirt tails of the strongest to victory. And so, Survivor is doomed as even I will turn away from it's viewership.
And perhaps if you are like me, you also believed in America. You believed believed in Truth, Justice, and the American way, only to see it erode before your very eyes. As with Survivor, the American winners are not the ones that work the hardest anymore, but are the ones that take from our system without ever contributing anything. And so, like Survivor, America is also doomed. As with me, and perhaps you, we will someday turn away.

In his words

SoCal BK contributed the following link, not for your entertainment, but for your education.
It is a compilation of video and sound bytes from speeches and statements made by our President. I had seen many of the clips before, but never assembled together so meaningfully as is in this one.
It should scare the daylight out of you! It is the MacMuslim at his best. You might have to copy/paste the following into your browser bar manually:

The Magic of the Kingdom
.
I'll bet, and I sincerely hope that all of you have had the opportunity to visit Disneyland. And if you have, I hope that you have experienced how different Disneyland is today from what it was in Those Days.
In Those Days, entry tickets were sold at the gate, and depending on your social status, you could then purchase ride tickets of varying prices. Remember the "E-ticket?" How fortunate it was to be able to even hold one. It was held esteem because it was for only the best of the rides.
Walt realized that his park was dividing the people. There were some that could barely buy their way in and then could only watch others having the real thrills. And there were some that could afford to enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean as many times over, while most in my class had to chose a single ride. Maybe Walt saw me walking the park for hours, studying each ride to determine which one I wanted most. And, perhaps he saw me cry when I realized it was all over so quick and it would be years before I could ever come back. My family just could not succeed in his fantasy land.
So, during the 70's, the Magic Kingdom was born. With one single admission ticket, anyone could ride any ride (with the exception of the shooting gallery), as many times as they desired, in that single day. Instantly gone was the separation of the social classes at Disneyland. It truly was a Magic Kingdom where everyone was treated the same.
Walt knew that the key to success was to control the gate. That done, everything else would fall into place.
What a stellar idea. Control the gate! That is what America needs to do. Because, once inside legally, opportunities will be here for all to enjoy.

Succeed or Secede?
.
Shadowing over the Halfblack Mac, and even the Gulf oil spill news, the hottest topic of today seems to be the new Arizona State law regarding illegal immigration. I hope you are paying attention to this as it is even more important than any other issue at hand.
In a nut shell, Arizona enacted a law making it a State crime to enter America illegally. The law is no different from Federal statute, but merely emphasizes the authority of state cops to enforce Federal immigration laws. Nothing any different from what local cops have always done in the past. All cops have the power to arrest bank robbers, money counterfeiters, and interstate kidnappers, just as they always have had, all of which are federal offences.
It was in the mid 70's when the Peanut Farmer President relieved local cops from the burden of enforcing federal immigration laws. It was never said that the locals couldn't do it, but rather they should spend their time doing other things. And, since he believed the locals were too busy, why not give amnesty to the aliens already here? What a snow job that was! And, it got worse from there.
Cities like San Franfaggo, where the likes of Piglosi and Feinstein come from, made their cities sanctuaries for illegals and refused to do any enforcement of immigration law. But what the heck? That was just a precursor to ignoring federal law and allowing Gay marriages and pot smoking there. "Oh well," you say, but where will that lead to?
Back to Arizona. Look at the hoopla! People are protesting, but most of them are the illegals themselves. What right do they have? I heard one say, "I just came here to earn money for my family in Mexico. You are so cruel that you treat me as a criminal!" Well, she is!
And Major League Baseball announced that they have concerns about sending their teams to play in Phoenix because some of their players are paperless and could be arrested. Well, get them papered or get them out!
And other cities are cancelling their conference plans in Arizona for fear that their servants will get popped. Well, they should have been popped as they crossed he border. Twelve gauge poppers work the best!
Protests claiming discrimination, racial profiling, and civil rights violations are underway. Where were all these dastardly deeds before the Arizona law? The feds were trying to do their job then, but no one made those claims.
And, Halfblack Mac and his Quarterpounders are trying to block the law. That's no wonder. The Mac has never wanted to show his papers. He'd better stay away from Tombstone.
Arizona continues to have their citizens and cops murdered, their jails overflowing, and paying the overwhelming costs of social services for these illegals. And Arizona is not likely to give in.
Watch this issue closely as it bears very similar reasons America revolted against England over two hundred years ago. It is brewing.
