What gives anyone the right?
When you think about the things that gripe your ass the most , what are they? Me , I am sure that most of my friends know what they are. One major issue I am having right now is with people that think that they should interfere with other peoples life based on THEIR belief system. I am a religious person , I have my belief system. I was always taught to worship GOD in my heart a and believe that Jesus is my savior and I do. I was never taught to make other people conform to my view or judge them based on the different system. When someone uses GOD to interfere in someone else's life just to feel better about themselves, it is wrong. The church face is worn by many people who go home and beat their children and abuse their spouse on a daily basis. The notorious Killer in the 1970's , BTK was an Deacon at his church and a person who preached on every corner. Yet he also used the church computer to write notes to the police taunting them about his heinous acts of murder. I have known many people from all walks of life in my 44 years of life, some good lots bad. many of the worst of the worst have gained late life Christianity and are now big time bible thumpers. Others, have always been on a walk with GOD and are very silent in their worship and beliefs. Then there are the ones that have always been religious and no matter what you do they have a reason to call you less faithful than they are. I for one do not get fooled by the church face, I see people for who and what they are. When someone meddles in others lives, that does not make them a Christian. It makes them a meddler plain and simple. When you sit in your own house that is full of horrors unspeakable and tell others how to live, you are not a Christian. You are simply using GOD to cast your eyes from your own shortcomings and focus them somewhere else. You do not have the right and it does not say in the bible to interfere because it is your duty, especially if your house is not in order. Keep your opinion ( and that is all it is ) to yourself. Zealots have used the Bible for thousands of years for personal gain and manipulated it's context to adhere to their beliefs no matter how heinous they may be. Eric Rudolph murdered and abortion doctor and blew up an innocent lady at the Olympics because of how HE interpreted the Bible. I guess because of his interpretation he should walk freely and have no consequences. Bullshit!!! his ass should never get out of jail, and people should keep THEIR interpretations to themselves unless they are asked for it. When you preach on the corner you have your reward here on Earth, I think it actually does say that in the Bible. Don't you dare think that you can tell me how to live my life based on what YOU believe,,, I don't care what YOU believe. Just because you walk around spouting about GOD all day does not make you one bit more Christian than I am, not one bit!!!! In fact , it makes you less. But then again that's just my opinion!!!! Just know that there is a Michael Lohan on every corner that has gotten jailhouse religion and you look just as stupid as he does. Get your own house in order before you tell me how to run mine Jimmy Swaggert , Jim Baker , Jerry Fallwell. and just know in your heart that if this pisses you off,,, you are probably one of the people it's meant for.

IS this a joke?
What in the world was Bob Beckle thinking last night on Hannity? I have seen it all now, and now have seen it with fire red colored hair. I am a reasonable person, I have a job a family of 7 and am reasonably smart. I have to wonder what planet these left wing nuts are on,,, do they see what is really happening? Bob Beckle said last night that if we that 9.5% unemployment was bad that the 16.5% that it would have climbed to under Bush would make us feel good about it!!!!! WHAT????? Am I missing something ? What crystal ball are these clowns looking at that would make them so bold and asinine to say these things. At one point I looked at him and thought he was drinking again! He says,,, you Obama critics keep using all these numbers to take pot shots at the President and you need to stop. Then he says , I know we are going to lose control of the Senate ,, let's see how good you do! The decision by many Americans to elect a President based on race is back firing people. And YES , many of you did vote for Obama because he is African American only. Not based on what he brought to the table or his qualifications, just because of race. Talk about racism!!!! Or you just simply voted straight line Democratic ticket , another major F-up!!! Today as you look at your children and know that the decisions of this administration have given them debt they will never see gone , pat your back for a job well done. When your health care costs triple next year , pat yourself on the back. when you get to 69 and can't move very well but have one more year before you can get your social security, pat yourself again. When the Koran is taught in our schools and prayer rugs are provided free of charge but you can't pray to GOD, pat yourself on the back. When your tax rate gets to the 70% it was before Reagan give yourself some love!!! It is time to wake up and see reality and make a difference. Look at the issues or just don't vote!!!!!!

Buying a New or Used car????
After 20 years in the automobile business and having sold thousands upon thousands of cars, please read this if you are looking. No matter what your gram pa told you and no matter what your dad did when he went to the lot an embarrassed you. You are not prepared to car shop!!! There is a fine line to getting a great deal and getting your head caved in!! First pointer is this,,, DO NOT get multiple bids!!! that's right,,, it does nothing other that make the guy you are working with try harder to get your wallet, and he can believe me ( even if you think he can't he can ). You will buy 5 to 6 cars your whole life,,, even the most inexperienced sales person sells more than that in a month,,, they are the expert in this area you are not. Pick a store that is convenient to you and go there in person,,, have 2 to 3 hours to sit and do your deal. When you show up and say ,,, "you have 5 minutes to get me a price" all you do is set the stage for frustration and disappointment... you need time to get the right deal. When you meet your sales person ,, ask to speak to the desk manager right away... not to get past your guy but to get your face in front of him so when your deal stalls he feels good coming out to save the day!! On a used car ,, DO NOT compare cars against each other,, there is only one car like the one you are looking at. Even if there is 100 of the same model they are all different like snowflakes!!! pick the one you want and zero in on that car only, you will be much happier. Never talk rate at the desk, they can't tell you the rate unless it is set by the manufacturer. Always talk rate in the business office, concentrate on the price of the car only and handle your financing in the finance office. If you are concerned over payment , you are on the wrong car...buy only what you can afford not what you want.... you are setting the stage for disaster if you over buy!! Always ask for a copy of the invoice while you are negotiating... if they wont show you ,, leave! Always remember , when you think you went in and got in the dealers pocket ,,, you didn't!!! When you treat a salesman and a dealer with respect you will get a good deal, when you act like a know it all and try to push them around you will surely pay more for your car! It is all about a relationship , and that means you need to build one not just them,,, just a few thoughts.... Disclosure::::: I am no longer in the car business....And if you need a good place to shop I can point you there, there are a lot of good places to shop,,, and a lot of bad ones!!!!! I am not beholding to any of them and will always shoot you straight!!!
Driving
This post is for all the idiots that don't know how to drive. First let me say that there is a minimum speed limit, as I am sure most of you don't know this. Secondly, the left lane in for passing cars not passing time!!! Also , when turning into a driveway or entrance to your destinatation, stopping is not supposed to be your first action!!! Get into the damn entrance and off the road!! And if you own a Smart car , you are stupid!!! Just so you know!!! And for the record, if you aren't allowed to drive in your home country, don't take it up here... you can't f'ing drive!!!!! A Burka is not protective wear, take the damn thing off when driving!!! If you don't speak english,,,, don't get behind the wheel.... why would you even think that is okay? Your brakes are not a steering tool (this in not a NASCAR oval), they are to stop with so using them in the middle of George Bush is not okay!!! When you enter a ramp ,,, enter the damn ramp!!!! I really don't think I need to mention make-up and cell phone use do I? Let's just say if you do your a moron!!! Passing a school bus???? don't let me catch you a**w****!!!!
The Dallas Cowboys
Now , I will give full disclosure..... I am a Cowboy fan from the bottom of my soul. I grew up less than a mile from the real Dallas Cowboys practice field... No it is not Valley Ranch band wagoners!! It was at the corner of Forest and Abrams just off of LBJ and it was incredible. There as a kid I watched seffless men give thier heart to a team and a city,,, the thought of them ( any player on the roster ) playing somewhere else was unheard of... And all of the players were human and had feelings for the fans as we did for them. After practice the players would come out in shorts and half shirts,, climb into thier beat up 1975 Chevy Blazers and go home to shower. But when they saw us fresh from Junior High football practice,,, they all stopped and gave us the time to become fans. From Roger Stabauch to Ed Jones....they loved us and they loved this city.... And they were winners,,,even when they lost!!!!!
Now that my sentimental journey is over , I will get to the point. I realize that the game has changed and we are no longer in 1979,, but the Cowboys (players) don't have the same feelings for the legacy of their team that we do. To watch that game end yesterday with a trick play out of desperation sealed it for me.. I think it is gone. The magic of Clint Longley and the Ghost of the man in the Fedora are no longer with the Cowboys. Our team to a man would leave tomorrow if the money was right and they could get way with it!! The only ones that would stay can't play anywhere else ( AND WE HAVE A LOT OF THOSE) no matter what the talent level is , they lack one ingredient,,,,,passion for our city. When we can get it into our heads that we are no ones rival anymore we can start to heal this franchise... when the Redskins came to town in the 1970's it was a fist fight for 60 minutes,... now it's just a game and as our prize QB according to a hammered owner says it's no big deal!!! You would never hear Danny White say that if a loss was the worst thing that ever happened to him he had a pretty good life!!! There is no discipline on this team , there is no leader of this team, there is just confusion as to how to spin the next loss. It is a sad day for our city!!!!!!

The Vote
Well, it has been 2 years and we are at the mid-term elections. I for one have grown weary of watching the greatest country in the world circle the drain. We have seen all the mafia type pay-offs to the Obama supporters, the only ones who haven't been paid are the American people. With all the Pork that the Obama administration has given out it is no wonder that the Muslims hate us. I just want one person to explain how this has been good,,,, The real unemployment number is around 15%. When all the fake manufactured jobs dry up and we start to look at jobs that were created in the non-government sector, we are failing miserably at recovery. And yet you watch the far left wing get on TV and say it is not true,,, it is like a delusional Meth addict!!!!! And there is Obama handing out the brother handshake like everything is just great!! It is a sad state when the American public is shouting at the top of their lungs and being told we just don't know what is good for us. I for one will vote for REAL CHANGE in the mid-terms and encourage you to do the same!!!!!!
Opening post
