“Anonymous”ly Yours

Well, it looks like the hacker group “Anonymous” has decided to wage cyber war on Donald Trump now. Not really the smartest move they’ve ever made if you ask me.

Why are they warning Trump? Like most liberals and bleeding hearts, they have taken just a part of Trumps proposal to temporarily ban all Muslims entry into the United States, until the responsible groups in charge of vetting can figure out a much more thorough method, in order to keep the citizens of the United States safe and keep out ISIS infiltrators into the refugees that will be pouring across our border.

Trump did NOT state, at ANY time, completely banning Muslims from entering the United States forever. He did NOT, at ANY time, state that the Muslims that are already here be removed.

What he DID say makes perfect common sense. Anyone with half a brain and no political agenda can see that. The safety of the citizens of the United States is the utmost priority of the government. Nothing comes before that, nothing.

Now here comes “Anonymous”. I’m not saying they aren’t capable hackers, but what they did is nothing less than try to remove from Trump what they supposedly fight for, Free Speech. They warned against making the would be refugees “sad” or make them feel “unwelcome”. “Anonymous” is afraid that if we do that then they will just turn to ISIS instead of running from them.

If you listen to both sides of this debate, it seems there is no way out. It’s a “Damned if you do, Damned if you don’t” situation. But I’m here to tell you there IS a way out.

It’s way past time for America to wake up from this trance that Obama has put them in. It’s time for America to stand back up, firmly plant her feet and say NO! It’s time for America to regain her brilliance, her authority and her respect.

It’s time to throw off this cloak of despair and disregard this pansy ass attitude, this politically correct society that we find ourselves in now. We need to stop following the direction that our gutless leaders have pointed out to us. It’s time we became The United States of America again!

Cry ‘Havoc,’ And Let Slip The Dogs Of War!

The Eagle is bleeding from so many arrows of treason and treachery, but he’s still strong. His wings will not be bound nor his cry silenced. His ever watching eyes are sharp and his talons are ready for the capture. He is perched on the outstretched arm of Liberty, standing tall and strong, his feathers shining in the dwindling sun of democracy and freedom.

 

Friends and family, the time is coming quickly. Open your eyes, look around, look past what is being shown to you, see what is really happening and what is getting ready to happen.

 

We, as a country, are coming to a crossroads. We, as a people, are going to have to make some tough decisions. At some point very soon, we are going to have to come together as Americans, we are going to have BE Americans.

 

I could sit here and give you quote after quote about what being an American is SUPPOSED to be, quotes from the very men that founded and led this great country. Men that were steadfast and strong in their beliefs and convictions. I’m not going to do that. By now it shouldn’t take quotes and anecdotes from our founding fathers to get you riled up, to bring you to the place where you say enough is enough.

 

I see what’s coming, I can feel it in my guts. The enemy is already within our borders and the gutless excuse of a president we have is poised to open wide the doors and lay a welcome mat out for hundreds, possibly thousands more.

 

I am now beyond asking why and looking for reasons why our government is so inept. I have now moved to self preservation and the safety of my family.

 

We can no longer depend on our government to protect us from forces that want to destroy us, we can no longer rely on our leaders to make the right decisions concerning us, the people of the United States.

 

We will be at war, inside our own borders, before the next election and long before anyone else has a chance to take over as president.

 

Our borders are non-existent, our foreign policy is a joke, America has long lost our stature as a leading world power. Our “leader” goes around the world apologizing for being a strong, leading nation. The United States of America is a running joke for the rest of the world, where once we were held with the highest regard and respect.

 

Now is the time to prepare, it’s almost too late as it is. Gather supplies, get a gun or guns, plenty of ammunition, have a safe place you can go and defend.

 

You are going to have two choices; hide or fight. If you choose to hide, hide well. If you choose to fight, fight without mercy or conscience, for the enemy we will be fighting deserves no mercy. No prisoners taken and no courts and trials. Not to be cliche but basically “Kill ’em all and let God sort ’em out.”

 

I do not mean to be a doom-sayer. I’m not trying to frighten you. I’m telling you what I see and feel. It is up to you whether you live or die. It’s as simple as that.

Coal – The Lifeblood Of Southwest Virginia

Since the late 1800’s, coal has been the lifeblood of Southwest Virginia. Coupled with the railroad that transported the coal out to the rest of the world, they became the sustaining industrial backbone for this region. The two industries together created a thriving and prosperous population on which many lives and lifestyles were founded.

The various coal towns that sprang up around the mines were bustling centers for trade, community and religious and race diversity. At one time, the little coal town that I live in had a huge hotel, a theater, beer garden (bar), company store, and so much more. It was home to hard working families that depended on Coal for their livelihoods.

Today, all of the once thriving coal towns are nothing but pitiful, lonely shells of what they once were and represented. Many of the families moved away when the mines began shutting down in the late 60’s and early 70’s, which marked the beginning of the inevitable downfall and near abandonment of the towns.

There were a few die hard souls that stayed on, continuing to carve out a life in these mountains. A large number took jobs in nearby Tennessee working for Eastman Chemical. Others branched out into whatever work they could find. Still others were able to hold on to jobs working in the mines and for the railroad.

Now, almost all of the mines are gone and just very recently so are the railroad jobs. Due to Obama’s never ending war on coal, the rail line that runs through this area, one of the main lines that Clichfield (Now CSX) had, has been shut down and there are rumors that some of the line will be taken up, I guess to be used in other areas.

The all too familiar sound of the train horn blowing at regular intervals are gone. The rumbling of the mighty engines as they pulled a mile long line of coal cars out of the nearby rail yard is silenced forever. Hundreds, if not thousands of jobs are no more. Lives have been changed, and not for the better. In essence, those of us that still live in these little towns now have nothing as far as jobs go. To make a decent living, a person has to travel, in some cases, up to two or three hours, just to get to a job.

Thanks to our inept government and the millionaire, tree hugging lobbyist’s that are more concerned with something that could POSSIBLY happen in thousands of years, many areas of the south, particularly Southwest Virginia and West Virginia, have now been cut off from progression. We are basically left with nothing.

The only thing that could possibly pull us out of this hole is for tourism to take off and transform this area into another Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, but that in and of itself would take years.

So, here we are, left holding the bag yet again. In my opinion, some rich coal related company should come in and reopen some of these mines, there is still a lot of coal left in these mountains.

However, as long as politicians like Obama and his cronies are around and running things, those of us left in these little towns and backwoods areas will do what we’ve always done. Hunker down and survive. The Appalachian Mountains have been good to us in the past, now it’s time for them to do it once again.

And that is my opinion.

Racism – A Cancer That Is Eating Away At The Soul Of America

Before I get started, let me make 2 things extremely and perfectly clear.

1. I am NOT racist, I never have been and I never will be.

And

2. I know that Hate is a strong word and that we are not suppose to hate anyone. I know it speaks against it in the Bible and that we are suppose to turn the other cheek and let God take care of it. I am incapable of doing that with certain things and people. Now, with that being said ….

Our country is being eaten away from the inside, not only from politicians and laws that should never have been passed, but also from racism, among other things that I won’t go into in this post.

This country has known racism since it’s founding. There has always been an “Upper Class” attitude among certain sections of the population, and I’m not deluding myself into thinking that will ever change. Even the men that wrote and signed the Constitution and the Bill of Rights had members that were racist, even though it was put into writing that “All men are created equal”.

Break that sentence down, let’s look at the bones of it for a second. “All men”, that means everybody, men and women. I’m sure that when it was written that it actually meant just what it said, All MEN because of the mindset in those days. Today however, it means all people.

“Are CREATED equal”. That’s true. When we are created, in the womb and from God’s hands, everyone is equal. That is not to say that everyone has the same opportunities in life, far from it. But, when a person is conceived, or created, they are equal.

It is only after that person is born do things change. How a person is raised, the beliefs that are taught them, the life they have to live, is what breeds racism or not. It is no different than teaching a child how to walk or talk, how to use a spoon or drink from a cup. The environment they are immersed in on a daily basis is what shapes that person as they grow into adulthood.

It is true that there are instances of a child being raised in a racist family that actually turn out to not be racist, but that is rare. I happen to be one of those people. There were several members of my family, on both sides, that were racist. Not so much now though. I think the main reason I am not a racist is because it was never pushed on me, I wasn’t taught that way. I just heard it from family members and it was basically up to me as to whether or not I wanted to believe that way.

I don’t hate black people, white people, asian people, people from the middle east, russia or anywhere else. I hate people that kill, maim, steal, terrorize, rape and all other atrocious acts that we as humans are willing and able to carry out against each other, regardless of race, color or religious belief.

I believe that it is wrong and short sighted, among other things, for a large portion of a race to hate another race for things that happened hundreds of years ago. Yes, I’m talking about some black people hating white people over slavery. That was a long time ago, no one living today ever knew anyone that was a slave. Yes, I’m sure they have ancestors that were slaves, just as some white people have ancestors that were slave owners. That is history now, let it go.

On the other hand, the white race has things we should all be ashamed of, like the KKK for instance, or Neo-Nazism. They believe that any race, not just black people, are beneath them, not only in stature but in the eyes of God. They believe that they are better, in every way, than any other race of people. But, they do not represent the majority of white people and we therefore should not be persecuted as such.

Here’s an idea. Gather up all the racist people in America, find a deserted island somewhere far away and put ’em all together on that island. Let THEM work it out. Yes I know, that is a grandiose idea and something that will never happen, but it IS a pretty good idea.

I’m not going to ask the age old cliche as to why we all can’t just get along. I KNOW why we can’t all just get along. Human Nature. There will always be someone that wants to dominate others. But, what can we do about it? Well, if you believe in prayer then pray, real hard. Education is another option. How about compassion and understanding? Forgiveness would go a long way too.

I certainly don’t live in a fantasy world where I actually believe any of that will ever happen. I know racism is a fact of life that we are going to have to deal with, probably until the end of time.

I just don’t believe in it and like others like me, wished there was something I could do. Besides just posting my opinion about it on social media. But for now, that’s all I’ve got.

And that is my opinion on racism.

Once Again, The Dictator Strikes

Well, the arrogant person that sits in the Presidents chair in the White House has done it again, or is going to, to be more precise. He has threatened to veto a bill from the House requiring more stringent methods of vetting possible refugees from Syria before they would be allowed into the United States.

I swear, this man reminds me of nothing more than a kid telling the other kids that if they don’t do what he wants, he’s going to take his toys and go home.

As I noted in my last post, I am against bringing any refugees into the United States from Syria or anywhere in the Middle East to be honest, because you simply can not trust them, or at least I don’t. But for the president of the United States to once again blatantly ignore the outcry from the American public just so he can get what he wants is an affront to the democracy we are SUPPOSED to have.

It’s as if we, the people, don’t even exist, we don’t matter one iota to him, as long as his agenda is met, and he will do whatever it takes to do so, including ignoring the very people he works FOR.

Does this surprise me? Not in the least. This is the status quo with this administration. Does it piss me off? You bet it does, just like everything else he has done ever since he has been in office, and it should piss you off too.

The American Public desperately needs to take our country back, but I’m afraid it is far too late for that. We have went too far down this rabbit hole to ever see the light of real freedom again. The really sad part? It’s just getting worse and will continue to do so.

Do I believe a new president can get us out of this mess? I doubt it, not in our life time anyway. This once proud country had slid so far into the dark that the light of freedom is but a dim spark.

I fear for our country, for my family and friends. I fear for all the people in this country that once had a dream, the American dream, because our so called leader has basically handed it over to outsiders.

Do I believe that we can actually save our country? I do, but the cold, hard truth of the matter is, there aren’t enough people willing to take the extreme measures it would require to do so. There is now too much fear instilled in the American public to do much of anything but sit back and take whatever is dished out.

I know that is not something you want to hear or believe, but if you think about it for a minute you will see that I’m right. It is time to face the facts folks, stop daydreaming about what used to be and fantasizing about what could be.

Do I feel defeated? No, I feel outnumbered and overwhelmed. Will I stand up for what I believe in? Yes, I will and proudly. I will do whatever it takes to protect my family, friends and loved ones.

In the end, I may not survive, but I would rather go out standing on my feet, with my head held high than on my knees with my head bowed.

My Opinion On Syrian Refugees

Now, for the first real meat and ‘taters post. Yep, you probably guessed it, it’s about our so called president wanting to bring thousands of Syrian “Refugees” to American soil.

I have seen on Facebook and other social media sites, many posts, some agree with allowing them to come here but the biggest majority are against it, and in my opinion, for very good reasons.

First, ask yourself this question, and be honest with yourself. If the tables were turned, would Syria open its arms wide and welcome US? I think not! They would sit over there and burn the American Flag, shout “Death To America”, and cheer on the terrorists. You know it’s true.

Second, it is only common sense that ISIS will try to get their operatives into the United States along with the legitimate refugees. Does one bad apple make the whole basket rotten? No, but why take the chance, especially when our own state of affairs are in such turmoil? Why add to the anger and disgust of the majority of the American people? Don’t we have troubles enough of our own without adding the troubles of another country?

I do not think we should let any of them in and we should kick the ones that are already here out. Sound mean? Sound Un-Christian? Wait, maybe I sound like a bigot? No! Those are the words of a worried, concerned and pissed off American Citizen. The decision to bring in refugees from a country that BREEDS terrorists, is the stronghold for the worst terrorist group since the Nazis, is ludicrous and irresponsible in the extreme.

Do I feel bad for those people? Sure I do. Do I want to risk my safety and the safety of my family and friends BECAUSE I feel bad for them? Hell no!

The United States simply can not save the whole world and we don’t have the room for thousands of people that don’t believe the way we do, rebel against everything we stand for and call us infidels and “The Big Satan” to our face, burn our flag in the streets and yell “Death To America”.

We have enough serious problems with race in this country already as well. Just imagine how that will escalate. Hate crimes will rise, murders, rape, thefts, crime in general will escalate. In essence, our short minded, self centered, politically driven leaders will be allowing a group of uneducated, homeless, jobless and resource draining people into an already unstable situation. We simply do not need that.

Some of you will say that it’s the right thing to do. We SHOULD take them in, give them sanctuary. Just look at the shit pot that got stirred up about Sanctuary Cities harboring illegal aliens not so very long ago. I’m here to tell you that it will get unimaginably worse if we allow this to happen.

Do I hate these people? Nope, well, not all of them anyway. However, if they are a terrorist or affiliated with terrorists in any way, you can bet I hate them.

But I digress.

What can we do? Call our Congressman? The White House? Protest? Write letters and sign petitions? I hate to be the bearer of more bad news, but democracy doesn’t work anymore. Just look at Obamacare. Do you honestly think that farce would be law now if WE had been allowed to VOTE on it? Do you think that Obama himself would still be in office if the MAJORITY of the American People had any say so whatever? As long as self centered, politically minded people are running this country and have the power of the pen, we, the People, have no say in ANYTHING. Don’t delude yourself into believing that we do.

Finally, when this happens, and it’s going to, don’t doubt that, be ready, please. If you don’t own a gun, go get one, learn to use it safely, get your carry/concealed license and keep it with you at all times. It is, after all, your Constitutional Right to do so and only common sense.

Why Another Blog?

Well, for my very first post here on my newest blog, I want to sorta explain WHY I made yet another blog. It’s not like I don’t have enough already. However, having said that, let me now say that this blog is specifically dedicated as a place for me to share my opinion on current and future world events, specifically, events that have an impact on the United States and more specifically, my little area of the world.

It is a fact that there are many things going on right now, overseas and here at home. To be bluntly honest with you, I don’t expect life as we know it to last very much longer, given the sorry condition our country is in right now, the major influx of illegal aliens, the open door policy our sorry excuse of a leader has to Muslims and other unsavory and unwanted nationalities, the rapidly growing threat of ISIS, the wholesale of unborn baby “parts” by Planned Parenthood, and oh so many more atrocities that I will get into in later posts.

Not everyone will agree with me. Let me make very plain right now that I don’t expect total agreement but I also will not put up with bashing and flaming my opinion or the opinion of others. If you don’t agree, please, feel free to open a debate, share your own opinion but you must respect the opinion of others. I will not hesitate for one second to ban and block those that can’t agree to this very simple request, I don’t care who you are.

I will be brutally honest on this blog, I will speak my mind, you may or may not like what I have to say or the way I say it. I don’t believe in being “Politically Correct”. That’s ridiculous and the cowards way out. If it’s black I will call it black, if it’s white, I will call it white, no sugar coating to save someones feelings. If someone can’t take honesty then you definitely do not belong here.

This is not going to be a religious blog, but there will be topics on religion, mainly because I have strong opinions on the subject. Again, if you don’t agree with me, that’s fine, but don’t tell me I’m wrong. Don’t tell me your way is the right and only way to believe and do not try to “convert” me to your way of thinking, it won’t happen.

Some of the topics I plan on writing about, you will probably think I’m crazy or a conspiracy theorist, but they are subjects I believe to be true.

The main thing you need to keep in mind when reading this blog is that everybody lies, our government is a joke and we are pretty much on our own, or very soon will be.

I probably won’t post every day, but then again, there may be days that I post several times. I’m not on a schedule and my posts will vary as my mood, interest and inclination does. If I don’t feel strongly about something, I won’t waste my time and yours with a frivolous post. I’ll save those for one of my other blogs.

If you think you will like this blog and the subject matter appeals to you or you just like to read what other people have to say and you can abide by my aforementioned request, then please, join in and spread the word to your other friends. I enjoy a good debate and I am keen to hear others opinions on things.

Thank you and welcome!
