The Dems have spoiled people to the point that they don't want to work since they can get by on other people's dime. I don't know how they do it. There was a time when people had pride; not so much anymore. Places like churches pitched in to help those in need.<br /><br />I was lucky getting Barb. I got out of the USAF on Sept. 10, 1965 and went back home to Cincinnati. While I was gone Barb and her mother and brother moved into an apartment next door. My mother told me there was a pretty, young girl living next door who was a sophomore at U of Cincinnati. Since I was enrolled at Cincy I figured I might as well meet this girl (Barb) and offer her some rides to school if our schedules were similar. One day I met her over the back fence and I was smitten at once. She was a total member of babedom! It was a lucky meeting for me and in August of '67 after we both graduated, we got married. The rest is history; we have had a great run and next August will be 50 years. Fate is a funny thing.<br /><br />Merry Christmas to you and Deb too.Jim McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973524943250404193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-75033001085956659432015-12-17T12:57:52.165-07:002015-12-17T12:57:52.165-07:00Jim, it's sad that people on the dole get to v...Jim, it's sad that people on the dole get to vote. Deb and I have family members on the dole. They are on Social Security disability which is a scam. Some of them could work if they wanted to but would rather sit on their dead asses and collect a check every month. Luckily they don't vote.<br /><br />You're closing in on 50 years which is amazing. My parents were closing in for 50 but my dad passed away a month before their 50th.<br /><br />You're a lucky guy to have found the right girl the first time. Deb and I were both married before and I guess we learned from our mistakes.<br /><br />We both wish you and Barb a merry Christmas and happy new year.<br /><br />Mike Slaternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-23386633408132975542015-12-16T12:14:42.479-07:002015-12-16T12:14:42.479-07:00Mike,
You comment: "Minorites and those on ...Mike,<br /><br />You comment: "Minorites and those on the government dole are the base of the Democrat party. Without them the Democrats would never win an election."<br /><br />I agree and that is the problem. We have so many of those people voting (legally or illegally) that it is tough for intelligent voters to make up the ground. That's the way it is in a government dependent society like the US has become under clowns like Obama and Dems at the local level. Good examples are places like Ferguson and Baltimore where disagreements are met with violence and looting. All those people know is that they have to follow the guy who gives away the doorknobs. I remember a black women praising Obama a few years ago because he gave her a free cell phone for her vote. It's a tough mentality to fight. <br /><br />Glad to see you and Deb have been together 35 years; very commendable. Barb and I celebrated number 48 last August. Time really zips by! I would hate to be part of the dating scene now.

That is disappointing as I can't stand the sight of her. Once again it proves that we should never be surprised by the stupidity of the American voter. There was a time when people were ashamed to take government handouts; now a candidate has to promise them or lose.<br /><br />I read today where the polls say she would beat Trump even though he is a runaway first place in the polls for Republicans. I'm afraid he is going to upset the whole system. He has a lot of support but is an obnoxious SOB which will turn off a lot of people. I think Hillary will get a lot of female votes because she is a women but hopefully she will get as many against her for the same reason.<br /><br />The above reasoning is pretty much the norm for now. We have to hope that a lot of voters are laying low and not saying much but will come forth on election day to defeat Hillary.<br /><br />Jim McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973524943250404193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-72763061620719059532015-12-14T17:18:01.600-07:002015-12-14T17:18:01.600-07:00Jim, I don't want any woman for president, Hil...Jim, I don't want any woman for president, Hillary or otherwise unless it's a Margret Thatcher or Golda Meir.

Well, Facebook timecodes EVERYTHING. I'm being targeted.<br /><br />So I'm finding time and date codes where I'm at home making a song with a squirrel and turkey (in calls) with guitar, bass, drums and last save was two days after the event. I saved it two days later. <br /><br />So then I asked another driver. She was on the graveyard shift at work. The only other driver that would have had it is covered by the cops themselves who vouched for her cab license. Fact is, I can't put anyone in the driver's seat at that time, or day. <br /><br />So someone's lying making the report to the police, or it is the police. Wouldn't be the first time. That's even worse than just a plain ticket, Jimmy. If it's the cops, who would I file a report with?

Trump fits the bill well as he certainly is to the point in how he feels. The thing that may hurt him is he really is belligerent which appeals to guys like us who are sick of mealy mouthed giveaway fools like Obama but I'm not sure about how he will appeal to some of the electorate; for example, the female vote. He would still get my vote if he is nominated but will women vote for him over another woman even if it is Hillary?<br /><br />Cruz seems to be tough too and a bit more middle of the road. Maybe he can pull it off. The Iowa polls have recently swung over to him by about 10 points. To me he is more likable and experienced in politics; kind of like Trump lite.<br /><br />At this time, I'll take either guy over Hillary.Jim McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973524943250404193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-34270140083290692742015-12-12T20:13:04.421-07:002015-12-12T20:13:04.421-07:00Jim, if you recall the Republican establishment di...Jim, if you recall the Republican establishment didn't like Reagan even though he won two landslide elections.

I guess the way they got it looking is that I was driving. <br /><br />The media said that the cops are trying to figure out the cell phone purchases and the propane tank thefts. I says, well I got this ticket thing and I'm obsessing on that, otherwise I'd help. Can only obsess about one thing at a time. I suppose the phones could be for resale overseas to countries that they can't get Chinese made products.<br /><br />Except, as I noted, they bought phones and no refill cards according to the stories. Well, take one cell phone, wire it up to 20 tanks all in a row along a parade route and you got yourself a Daisy-Chain. I Googled it. Seems I'm the only one who's thought of this.

I am always on the computer, Jimmy. I was creating a song that day with squirrel calls and turkey calls. I looked it up. The law specifically states that because I own the vehicle, that I am at fault, if the court doesn't know who the driver was. Then there's the matter of, that I do not drive after dark and this infraction was at night. Thought about the Alford Plea, where yeah it's my Jeep, but it wasn't me driving, where innocence is retained, but it's technically a guilty plea. Apparently it's used very often in the Missouri courts. <br /><br />It will look in the media that I went around a parked school bus as a conviction, because that's how the ticket that was mailed to me, appears. But the vehicle color is different in the ticket than it is in the registration. So being in poor health and now this court stuff. The doc will be pissed on the day before court, that I'm not taking any heart related medications. I don't see how it matters much.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268265056850010999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-36796556304088880152015-12-12T15:27:49.687-07:002015-12-12T15:27:49.687-07:00Mike,

Even with many of his own party not supporting him, he is storming the polls. That dumb statement by Graham hasn't hurt him at all; it just makes Graham look like the fool he is.<br /><br />I don't want to see a third party though; I think that would give it to Hillary. I just hope Donald keeps getting those high poll numbers forcing the Republicans to bite their tongues and accept him. They will be damned lucky to have him and have an "R" in the office whether they like it or not. I know one thing; it won't be Graham.Jim McAllisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973524943250404193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19126167.post-68106639726039474622015-12-12T15:17:10.264-07:002015-12-12T15:17:10.264-07:00Sorry to hear you're feeling bad, Rick.

He and Milbank and Eugene Parker are the resident big time libs at that paper and it surprised me when when Milbank and Cohen came out blasting Obama over Paris. I guess it reinforces what a clown Obama is that those super libs would say anything against him.<br /><br />These guys live in a netherworld where everything is roses and peaceful and mean things like guns don't exist. They must come from some fantasy place on another planet to be so stupid as to believe human beings are so worthy. That's why I was so shocked when they stuck it to Obama.<br /><br />I see where the South Carolina polls showed Trump leading at 30% popularity before his Muslim statement and 38% AFTER he said it. I think that is the general feeling now in a lot of places. People are afraid and these worthless libs like Obama and his crew can't see it.

Just read an article in the Republic today from Richard Cohen of the Washington Post blaming, you guessed it, the NRA for the shooting in California. He thinks this country should be more like countries that have banned guns. He calls for more gun control laws and restricting gun ownership. What he doesn't understand is we have a 2nd amendment and the NRA which other countries don't have.<br /><br />Maybe when liberals like him, Montini and Roberts get mugged and robbed and have their homes broken into they will change their tune but I doubt. Liberals aren't that smart.

We will be rid of him next year unless we get lucky and he falls off the Empire State Building or something like that (only by accident, of course LOL). <br /><br />I was watching Fox when Colonel Peters called him a "pussy." I couldn't stop laughing and I wish he wouldn't have apologized. He was suspended for 2 weeks but it was worth it.<br /><br />It's a sad commentary when a guy like Obama can even get elected, especially twice. It shows how far this country has fallen. It's been said that things come in cycles and we happen to be stuck in the one with him. Hopefully, Cruz or Trump can get elected and reverse this mess.<br /><br />I love it that gun sales increase every time the fool opens his mouth.
