A friend of mine recently complained about my blog not offering up solutions to the problems I bring to light here every few days. So, per his advice, I've started posting some. Here's a solution to the gun control and airline security problems we face, courtesy of Archie Bunker of All in the Family:
As for the economy, here is a solution, brought to light by the Great Communicator, President Ronald Wilson Reagan:
And as an added bonus, here's the SAME SOLUTION brought about by a left of center president, Mr. John Fitzgerald Kennedy:
the website www.parentalrights.org offers a solution in the form of a constitutional amendment called the Parental Rights Amendment.
So there you have it, fellow tin-foil-hat wearers. Solutions to some of the most important problems of our day.
Feedback always welcome

Be it Ever so Humble...
As long as I can remember, I've spent nearly every Christmas I've ever experienced in Nevada. My Grandparents have been hosting Christmas for my parents, my sister, and me since we were kids. A few times we've had to break tradition and stay home, but we'd always had some way of including them in the Christmas celebration. Be it through a phone call, an email, something.
That being said, my grandmother was diagnosed with late onset breast cancer a few months ago. She's going through Chemotherapy and radiation to stave it off, and it appears to be working. It helps that she's been something of a health nut all her life and regularly exercised and took care of herself, so the prognosis looks good. However, it also reminds me that she won't be around forever. As much as that pains me, I can't bring myself to look toward that bleak future where I won't have my grandmother to visit in December.
I was looking for a vid to post in conjunction with my new holiday theme when I remembered one of my favorite Christmas tunes, sung by Perry Como. I'll let the music speak for itself.

Fire From The Heartland Burns Bright in America
Well, this is a switch. After about two years of non-stop work, blood, sweat and tears I've finally reached a point where my financial freedom can and will once again be mine. Also, I picked up a prospect for making a little extra money outside of my job as a copy making drone. My parents, bless them, are out of town for the week and have left me in charge of house sitting their little California farm. Hoody Hoo!I woke the first morning to find a nice crisp Ben Franklin clipped to my little list of tasks that I'm to accomplish every night.
Personal story aside, I'm posting here tonight because, quite frankly, I finally have the time again. Something about being assigned the simple work of caring for a few donkeys, Labradors, chickens and goats while living on three acres of land all alone creates an excellent feeling of solitude. A feeling, honestly, that I had missed and hadn't even known it. Things have been rather hectic for me and my extended family (which consists of my fiancee and her mother) and I realized after waking up Saturday morning that I hadn't experienced quiet, REAL quiet, in over two years, since my girl's father tragically died of heart failure. Since then, I've been so busy trying to survive that I'd forgotten what it's like to live. I haven't even been here on the blog as much as I normally was two or three years ago. It's a nice feeling.
My time to myself has allowed me to casually surf the net looking for articles to be outraged about, and lo and behold, the left did not disappoint. I have just recently heard about a new DVD coming out called Fire from the Heartland, which is supposed to be about the rise of the Conservative woman. What? "Conservative woman? What's that?" you ask, well that would be women like Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Malkin, and others who not only talk the conservative talk, but walk the conservative walk. Sarah Palin, for example, is the classic low-taxes-cut-spending conservative that this country needs. Michelle Malkin is a balls-to-the-wall (term used loosely) woman who pulls no punches when it comes to Leftist (or even Right Wing) hypocrisy and corruption. Anne Coulter is much the same way, and indeed was in the game long before I'd ever heard of Michelle Malkin. Other such women include Conservative atheist S.E. Cupp of Fox News fame, Michelle Bachmann, congresswoman from Minnesota, and scads of others that I can't name here in one sitting.
This, for some reason is bad news for the woman-hating Lefties. I've been reading various articles, some of them having directly to do with Fire From the Heartland, some not. All of them are, however, examples of what one of the authors calls "femisogyny", which is the perfect term for something like this. Take the review, for the primary example of what I mean. The author links to several other articles that are not just insulting, but in my opinion downright evil. How can these so-called "feminists" be for all women and yet directly insult the very women they claim to be fighting for? The answer, of course, is that they can't.
Take the primary wins endorsed by Sarah Palin. These wins have caused the feminazi Left to go absolutely APE SHIT over the fact that someone who believes family is important, abortion is wrong, and homosexuality is immoral, can actually help people who believe as she does win in fair and square elections. Oh, the horror! Women who don't march in lockstep with the anti-family agenda? They must be silenced! They might actually influence other Thought Criminals and threaten the power base of the ruling class. Horror and damnation!
Fire From the Heartland has elicited the typical response from the left, very snarkily pointed out by the author of the link above.
I'm in full agreement with the author's point of view. Mama Grizzley's scare the left and their feminist bullies because, like all bullies, these women can't handle a stronger target than themselves. Pushback is creating an environment that has allowed many women to take a stand for REAL feminism that protects a woman's right to think for themselves. Apparently this doesn't sit well with the left because, according to a few of those lefty women, they aren't "real women" at all if they don't vote to kill their unborn child.
Well, all I can say is that Fire From the Heartland doesn't just burn on the big screen, but in real life as well. In my scouring of the net for news articles to bash and make fun of, I've discovered a sense of women feeling that their precious babies are in danger and woe betide anyone who gets in their way. Amen to that, sistahs! Keep up the good fight, because you've got a family loving supporter of a woman's right to be a woman right here typing away.
Continuing to Fight the Good Fight.

They May Have Won the Battle...
...But we will win the war.
Today a federal rogue judge declared California's vote in favor of Proposition 8 unconstitutional. While I am disheartened by this ruling, it was not all together unexpected. I can't remember where I saw the story, but I remember reading on the net that the case went before one of the only two openly gay federal judges on the bench. Am I angered by the ruling? Yes. Am I upset? You bet your bottom dollar, friend. Am I surprised? No. Likewise I am not discouraged.
For the first few months of the American Revolution, George Washington lost every single battle with the British and their Hessian allies. Yet he was victorious in the end, as we traditionalists shall be. I had a thought after reading the story, which comes from Legal Insurrection, and that is "what about all the other states that have passed these kinds of laws protecting the sacred nature of marriage?" Indeed, are all of those laws unconstitutional now as well? And what kind of authority does this give a federal judge via the new precedent set by this ruling? What, if anything, can a judge NOT overrule if he can overrule the votes of millions of Californians?
The notion that the judge is gay has no bearing on my feelings about this ruling, for those of you who might think I'm just a bible-thumping homophobic. If you do think that, you're wrong, and though you can think it all you want, it won't make it true. Marriage is, as I mentioned earlier, sacred, and should stay that way. Call me what you will, but I will not abandon a cornerstone of civilization just because some limp-wristed dandies are whining about how unfair life is.

No, That's NOT a Water Balloon...
At least that's what the moobat liberals would have you believe. Via Moonbattery.
Yeah, I'll let that sink in just a bit before I go on.
Ready yet? No? Okay...
Yeah. It's going to take a while to clean up all the brain tissue from all the heads that exploded as a result of reading that article, so I'm going to go on while they do so.
How long are we going to let this happen? Kids have more rights than parents these days, honestly. Why not teach abstinence? Why? Because that would deny children the fundamental right of being perverted. Yep, those Founding Fathers, evil racist bigots that they were, didn't include a fundamental right to sexual depravity in that tired old piece of paper we call the constitution. They were just too damned focused on us being able to live our own damn lives without big daddy government getting in the way. Such incredibly shortsighted individuals, those guys.
I can't really say anymore on this that hasn't already been said, so feel free to fill in your own take on the comments section.

Stepford Wives: Family Values Being Dragged Through the Mud
Well, last week I just had the unfortunate experience of watching some Left Wing drivel out of Hollywood. Watching the Stepford Wives was supposed to be an evening of dark humor and mild suspense. It turned out to be nothing more than a thinly veiled political statement against traditional values. Namely the traditional American family.
From the moment I saw the fictional community of Stepford, I knew something wasn’t right, and not just because I already knew the plot of the movie going in. I knew that somehow, some way, this movie would be used to discredit the American housewife, and I was right.
From the moment the main characters, a high powered female TV executive recently fired from her job due to bad publicity thanks to an angry, gun-toting former contestant on the infidelity promoting game show “I Can do Better”, and a “house husband” played by Matthew Broderick, whose idea it is to move to Stepford in order for his wife to recharge the batteries and maybe connect with her on a more personal level, move to the seemingly benign Connecticut gated community, things are weird. All the women are thin, blonde, and beautiful, and are creepily cheerful 24/7.
This in and of itself is only marginally creepy, however, until you find out the reason why. The reason Stepford is the way it is is because each of the women who live there is being forcibly mind controlled by their overbearing husbands. Even the gay couple, who moved to Stepford for the same reasons the other families did, is affected, with the overly effeminate character being "reeducated" into acting more masculine so that he can run and win a bid for the Connecticut state Senate.
Put this into the atmosphere of Stepford, which is overly patriotic, with the American flag everywhere and music such as The Halls of Montezuma playing during picnics and other city functions, and you have the makings for a movie that deliberately tries to discredit family life in every way shape and form. The housewives are drones, the husbands are overbearing louts, and the two characters who believe in the 1950's stereotype are a robot and a lunatic!
So what does this say about the characters in this movie? A lot. it says that anyone pushing the traditional view of the American family is either a robot incapable of thinking for themselves, or a lunatic trying to "turn back the clock."
Think I'm kidding? Consider this: The man I mentioned above, who was a contestant on a fictional reality show, is portrayed as a gun-toting psycho. The women who make up the Stepford Wives were all in positions of power, but were subverted by their overbearing, underachieving husbands because the men were "afraid" of their wives. Jon Lovitz, who is hilarious in many of the movies he does, specifically answers his wife's question of "why can't you clean the house once in a while?" with "because I have a PENIS?" As if that exempts him from doing any kind of housework.
The end scene of the movie is, while humorous to some, insulting to yours truly, as it shows the men trolling through the grocery store utterly and completely lost, as if they have no idea what to do. The laughter of their respective wives is heard as a voice over, adding insult to injury. Apparently someone wanted to show men their "Proper" place in the universe.
All in all, the movie was a waste of time, and I felt the need to shower immediately after watching it.
