OVERUSED WORDS AND A SHORT RANT

Is it me or is the word “awesome” becoming the most overused word in the English language?  Everything seems to be “awesome!”  these days.  For those old enough to remember, awesome was also one of the most overused words in the late 1980s.  Occasionally, I also still hear girls say “like” but not as much as I used to thank God.  Then there is the old standby “cool” which has managed to survive many generations from the early 1950s on.  It has outlived Elvis, James Dean, The Beatles, Disco, Michael Jackson, and many others.  Hey, now THAT’s cool!

How much would you pay to see a “no holds barred” fight in the ring between Putin and Obama?  It would be the highest rated event in the history of television and my guess is that more Americans would probably root for Putin if for no other reason than he is a man going against a pseudo-man.  One thing I DO know is that Putin could take the impostor in one round in spite of giving away six inches in height.  Obama is a laughing stock as he has once again reinforced his image as a wimp with the sorry sanctions he levied against some Russian officials.  Can you imagine President Eisenhower being referred to as a “prankster” by government officials in Russia?

Liberals believe in government action to achieve equal opportunity and equality for all.  It is the duty of the government to alleviate social ills and to protect civil liberties and individual and human rights.  Believe the role of the government should be to guarantee that no one is in need.  Liberal policies generally emphasize the need for the government to solve problems.

 Conservatives believe in personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, individual liberty, traditional American values and a strong national defense.  Believe the role of government should be to provide people the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals.  Conservative policies generally emphasize empowerment of the individual to solve problems.

The above definitions of Liberal and Conservative come from the “Student News Daily” and are pretty accurate.  Today, because of many changes in demographics we are seeing the domination of the Liberals.  We have too many addicted to the government dole who have no incentive to leave the cozy confines of government freebies.  They don’t have to think on their own as the government will always be there for them with their handouts.  They love hearing about the possibility of a minimum wage of $10.10 since they don’t have to do anything to earn it.  They are so enamored of that thought that they don’t realize that along with that increase would be lost jobs and higher goods costs which mean higher retail prices.  But, hey!  I got a free phone.

There was a time when the current system would have no chance.  Pride prevented the average person from thinking about government freebies.  There were other organizations like churches that helped the poor get by until they could get back on their feet.  Businesses had more freedoms which allowed them to expand causing more job creation and better benefits for employees.  The bad news for the freebie lovers was that they had to work to get ahead; a very disagreeable requirement for many.  They would rather hear a pseudo president crow about “We want those rich folks to pay more in taxes!”  Tax the makers and give to the takers.  November is coming; cross your fingers that this country wakes up.

If you like your insurance plan you can keep it. If you like your doctor you can keep him or her. March 31 is the absolute deadline to sign up for Obamacare. All lies.

This administration can't seem to tell the truth.

Can't wait for the 2014 election.

PROUD,

So funny about that dried up old Harry Reid. He looks like death warmed over and now he says that people are too dumb to work a computer so THAT'S the problem with O-Care. It gets funnier ever day with these clowns.

I'm glad he got nailed on those gifts. It's hard to escape Breitbart

Jim McAllister said...

Buzz,

Biden is a good example of a guy who has been hanging around too long and has simply slipped through the cracks without many noticing.

He reminds me of Jack Lemmon in "Mr. Roberts" who keeps dodging Captain James Cagney.

PROUD said...

What's a vocal ANTI-GUN DEMOCRAT to do when he needs to raise lots of campaign money to be able to promote his "keeping guns away from bad guys", ANTI GUN agenda????

He sells guns to the mob to raise cash....Too funny:

Dirty Harry Reid looks like death warmed over. I think he died about 5 years ago and just doesn't realize it yet.

When the Republicans take back the senate maybe he'll do us all a favor and retire.

Jim McAllister said...

It's amazing how the guys get elected. Is this country really that stupid?

I'm always reminded of Jack Nicholson's line in "Easy Rider" (1969) when I look at pukes like Reid, Obama, Cummings, Jerry Brown and most of the rest of the Dem losers:

"You know, this used to be a helluva good country. I can't understand what's gone wrong with it."

~~Oh Happy Days~~
White House celebrates 6 Million Obamacare sign ups, to which I tweet:

#Obamacare...a healthcare initiative so successful,#Obama himself.....just can't stop DELAYING it!.... What a frkn J-O-K-E!

Funny thing... when 6 million got their insurance DUMPED because of Obamacare, the administration said it was a tiny, minuscule, insignificant portion of the public....
But...when 6 million sign up it's a (as Joe Biden would say) A BIG FRKN DEAL!

Can't have it both ways? (unless the American people are stupid?)

Jim said... "I can't understand what's gone wrong with it."

It's systemic...

THEY HAVE OUR CHILDREN!

Glo said...

"Biden’s tab was $384,000, and Michelle Obama’s trip — on which she is accompanied by her mother, Marianne Robinson, her daughters and multiple Secret Service agents and other officials — is expected to run significantly more."

Yowza! I'm glad my taxes go to a good cause!

But in defense of the kids, they are at that 'stupid' age where death would be preferable than spending an elongated vacation with your parent(s). They should have spent a week and been shipped home (with Granny) as Mom continued her taxpayer-funded vacation.

Jim McAllister said...

PROUD,

Did you see the news clip today of Nobama nodding while that Sheik of Arabee was talking?

He looked like he was wondering if he could get away from that boring bastard and get in 9 holes before dark.

On the other hand the Sheik looked like he was thinking "I can't believe they sent this dumbass over here to waste my time. I wish he would go play 9 holes."

I'll bet Jimmy Kimmel has something funny to say about this tonight.

Jim McAllister said...

I agree, Glo. These clowns think nothing of us financing their worthless entourages. Those kids were bored stiff and why the hell is her mama along?

Jim McAllister said...

I was really proud of Kobe Bryant in this column until the last couple of paragraphs where he caved.

Hopefully he just caved to shut the other dumb asses up who scorned him for not backing the black leaders opinion of the Trayvon case.

Mike said...

The Obama's and Biden must think they're royalty instead of public servants.

People voted for that trash in the Whitehouse because it was historic to have the first black president, even though he's only half black, and if Hillary runs the same people will vote for the first woman president.

The only hope in 2014 and 2016 is to have a Republican congress. If not we are so screwed.

Jim McAllister said...

I agree, Mike. It's imperative that we get the whole Congress for the 2016 election because that goddam Hillary is still strong in a lot of early polls with a lot of dumb ass people.

Every woman in the country will vote for her because she is a woman just like Obama got in because he was black and giving the doorknobs away to the welfare people.

The Republicans aren't helping themselves. I see where Rand Paul and Mike Huckabee are tied for the leader of the Reps.

Huckabee? They have to be f--king kidding!

Jim McAllister said...

Today is my 39th birthday so I celebrated by wiping the spam off this blog. I had about 8,000 entries so it took a while.

I didn't read any of them but I glanced at one that suggested some easy ways to get laid. Other than using money I don't know if there are any "easy" ways.

So, now I have a clean spam slate since I went back and wiped out the 18 more entries from overnight. It's hard to believe anyone would take that crap seriously.

Mike said...

Jim, never cared for Huckabee. Don't care for Christie either. I could vote for Rand Paul or Ted Cruz.

You're right about Hillary she will get most of the woman vote and the majority of the minority vote.

Our only hope is to have a Republican congress.

PROUD said...

Hi Jim, nope didn't see Obama and the Saudi's...actually had to take my m-in-law back to Show Low and didn't watch any news or TV other than the Uof A loss to the Badgers.

Just got back to an internet connection and got pissed off when I read the story below. I had to TWEET (or go blind):

#California #mvd opening 'ILLEGAL ONLY' driver license facilities. Special "thanks" to #Obama & CA. Governor Moonbeam:

http://t.co/8L2knpnQfW

Kinda ironic when you consider CA is spending TAXPAYER dollars to build 5 modern facilities for illegals to get driver licenses so they can "get to and from work" And then think about how all 5 locations are close to where CA is also spending TAXPAYER dollars to stop illegals from entering the country and taking jobs away from said TAXPAYERS....

Well at least those unemployed American TAXPAYERS won't have to worry about getting "TO AND FROM, WORK"

(Man?...you just can't make this stuff up)

PROUD said...

Jim, there's something that's bothered me for 4 years, I put it on my facebook today:

OK...been 4 years, I should be over it....B-U-T, this young woman should NEVER have lost on American Idol.... Proving yet again that the American public's abilities are limited to "popularity contests" they are completely unqualified to judge talent and qualifications(aka Obama):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HpPmg6bqDU

She came in second to a guy with a lot less talent and qualifications (sounding a lot like our poser in cheif Obama?)

Obviously, Americans are easily fooled

Jim McAllister said...

PROUD,

I love that song by Crystal.

As I have said many times I don't like any contest that is decided by judges, especially these days with what this country has become.

On another note, I see where cars will be forced to have trunk cameras starting in a couple years. The libs love it; more cost to car buyers because some idiots can't back up without a camera. More BS from Washington.

PROUD said...

Jim, there are already enough electronic displays to steal a drivers attention w/o mandating more...

Having said that, those camera's do work great when you are backing up to hook up a trailer, you can put the ball in the hitch w/o touching your shiny bumper....

PROUD said...

Best #AprilFoolsDay hoax ever: Big Government will be in charge of providing top quality, inexpensive #healthcare (ahahaha APRIL FOOL)

Jim McAllister said...

PROUD,

I'm sure they can be handy IF a person needs one. However, this is another result of electing Obama in that they will be mandatory, no choice.

I would never need one under any circumstances. I have had my driver's license since march 30, 1957 and never once have I thought, "Gee, it sure would be nice to have a backing up camera."

The dummies who back over children will still do it regardless simply because they are stupid.

I can only imagine how much this will raise the cost of cars.
