I was at work as I watched on the web, the live broadcast of the second plane hitting the tower. I walked outside later and looked up to an empty sky. All the air traffic that flew over my building was gone. The sky was an extremely bright blue. There were a few clouds and the deafening silence of an empty sky and a country in shock.
We will never forget. We will never grow tired. We will live the American dream in our hearts our minds and in all that we do. We will cast our anger into the flames of determination and fan it with the winds of justice.
Let our song of freedom be the last thing the terrorist hears as he falls. Let the last sight he sees be an American soldier with weapon in hand and the muzzle flash of the bullet that takes said terrorist's life.

Postlude to a Revolution
OK, This one is New- I wrote it today! Enjoy
...And putrid lies to sycophantic sheep
Before the One who'll save us from ourselves
The coffers opened for the hands that need
And platitudes were spoken gospel truth
When worship turned from God unto the State
The souls of those that fell were soon to bleed
As freedom was encroached to serve the State
And all desires fell to fleeting hope
for change that comes through enforced servitude
When those who uttered truth were given scorn
And all who stood for Liberty blasphemed
Enlightened thought was deemed ineptitude
And when full circle came the tyrant's hand
Where armies lined the streets in massive force
And those of us who stood upon the brink
As winds of change blew o'er the Fruited Plain
When all that saw the truth rose up to fight
And streets ran red with those who know to think...

Epitaph - Waco's Lament
...Father please forgive them 'cause
They know not what they do
They're taking us to task this time
We'll soon be joining you
The children are all screaming and
Their eyes are turning red
Don't worry about saving them
'cause we're already dead
The heat becomes unbearable
The walls are white hot fire
My heart is bursting from my breast
And breathing is desire
They're burning our home to the ground
We've worked so long to build
So many things we've left undone
Dreams left unfulfilled
We knew that it would come to this
The future is foretold
The past reveals the ugly truth and
Their souls have been sold
We never bothered anyone we
Kept unto ourselves but
The TV camera's rolling
And destruction really sells
The powers that be realize
Their power just won't keep
They must use this show of force
To cower us like sheep
The way of life is suffering
Until we reach the sky but
The burning question in my mind
Why do our children have to die...

Interlude to a Revolution
...And if there were a time when we should fear
And if they came to take our guns away
Would we rise to hold to our beliefs
And show them who still holds the power true
And if they turned to weapons that destroy
And took so many lives we had to fight
Could we resist the pain that was to come
When those we loved the most had died for truth
And if the states did fall to those who rule
And tyranny was the order of the day
Would those who cowed down to the powers that be
Rise up to fight that children might be free
And what would be the cost of all that passed
Into the night where darkness told the lie
That those who ruled were prisoners the same
For the masses rule and the few are soon to die...

Prelude to a Revolution
...And when ideas added fuel to the fire
Where partisanship divided left and right
And the people heard the tolling bell of doom
When handouts were the order of the day
And in their eyes we had no right to pray
No prophets need tell us what is to come
Where "How you feel" meant more than "What you learn"
When freedom to express was a flag they sought to burn
And righteous anger seethed within our veins
As crime was blamed on poverty and hate
And civil rights became inviolate
When peace was just a memory in our pain
When happiness gave way to primal fears
The tension became a scream of true despair
And hope was borne upon the winds of fate
As life became a burden to withstand
And weapons were prepared by innocent hands
A whisper of the battle we contemplate...

The Revolution Series
OK--gonna revive the old Clinton Era Poetry series I wrote while expecting Bill to take away all of our rights. Now that O is in office, it seems that all that was, is again.
So let's start off with the opening salvo.The Revolution Series
Where man could not be heard
Above the machine
Where power was held by the elite
Where good was brought to task
By those who would have us enslaved...

It's Mac The Knife
Who says politics aren't fun?
When you never know what to expect from one day to the next.
When a bailout can seem to be a money grab for bankers looking to remodel their offices.
When the President has to stoop so low as to decry the words of a talk show host.
Well, some things never change in DC. A Kennedy is still in the Senate. The news papers are still spewing Liberal drivel. And McCain is back to his RINO ways. Does he realize that it was just such behavior that killed his chances of winning the presidency?
He came up on the floor for his first speech, and this is what he had to say in reference to Hillary's Confirmation:

Bull S#!t, (excuse my French.)
WE DO NOT WANT YOU WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE DEMOCRATS!!!!!
We want you to block them at every turn!
We want a filibuster for even the meanest of bills that make their way to the floor!
Democrat=Socialism
WE DO NOT WANT YOU "WORKING TOGETHER" WITH A BUNCH OF SOCIALISTS!
I am so freaking tired of the farce that is the Republican leadership. Throw all of these mealy mouthed, afraid of their shadow, waffling and shying from controversy "Republicans" out of office. Get some fresh young blood with intestinal fortitude to fight these socialists for every inch of ground they can take from them. If the conservatives in Congress would only show some backbone, the Dems would be the ones shying. They are afraid of the light, because the light is truth. They have spent their entire careers denying the light, and spit in the face of those who would show it to them.
And McCain is playing right into their hands. Why do you think the media loved him so much before the campaign. Because he goes against Republicans. He doesn't stand up for our tenets, our core of beliefs. He "compromises" and relinquishes the power to the Dems. Then he says he's doing it for the People. Nope. Not buying it. Wouldn't pay a dollar for that line. He does it for his own edification. He does it so he can say, "Look here. Look upon what I have done. I have brought you together and there is Harmony in the land." BS. Pure and unadulterated.
Entreaty to McCain:
Please. Please in the name of all that is Holy and True. Never compromise with these Dems again. Know that they are not your friends, they are not your buddies, and they DO NOT have your best interests at heart. They use you for their own gain, because for them, even if you compromise a little, you've lost. You do us no service by "compromising" with them. You do great harm to our country and we will all suffer in the end for it.

Commute? Why not just work form home?
Glorious day! We have finally seen the two border agents, Ramos and Compean, receive a commutation of their sentences. It has been a long time coming, and a struggle we in Houston have been privileged to help them overcome after two years.
Now, that being said, why the Hell did it take two years! We have just seen a travesty of justice perpetrated by the very man who was supposed to be a Compassionate Conservative. President Bush has never been a friend to those who want the border sealed. And his lapdog Johnny "Satan" ran right in and killed any chance of serious border enforcement.
Well, as we shall see, the O will serve us no better. Unless the states finally decide to ignore the Fed and seal the borders on their own, there will be an ever increasing Democratic base pouring across the southern border. And who knows how long it will take until all of us in the Red States begin to take on a tinge of blue.
I want to end this rant by saying, Congratulations to Ramos and Compean and their families.
And if anyone wants to help them and others in the same situation, go to http://www.friendsoftheborderpatrol.com/

And the Temple will Fall Back
Unilateral... Hmmm. Let me see... That means one-sided, right? OK, so if Israel stops fighting and Hamas doesn't... That means that Hamas won?
Really, I am sooooo sick of all those people out there protesting the Israelis right to defend themselves. And when they say that they have beaten Hamas severely, (you know, back to the Stone Age) it makes me cringe. How can you beat someone back to the Stone Age when they were already there?
I believe that you have not vanquished an enemy until every last one of them is dead or crying surrender. Where is the white flag?
I am making a personal request to the Israeli government. Please, I implore you, don't quit until you have achieved ultimate victory!!!! Make this your gift for the future of the Israeli people. And the world for that matter.
In the immortal words of Rondaldus Magnus, "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
Let us hear those words from the Israeli Prime Minister. But let them be sincere.
Because without any Hamas militants... No rockets fired by Hamas militants (read Just Words for definition of militants.)

Look Ye Back In Fear, for We Shall See It Again
DEPRESSION, 1929, the stock market fell, industry tanked and we had 25% unemployment. As the depression wore on exacerbated by the policies of Hoover and the government, quietly the stock market began to rise. As the rest of the world came out of the depression quickly,(though how can you tell. It still looks like Europe's in a depression, ok , maybe not...) the US struggled on.
Hah. History lesson postponed for an important infomercial... Buy Stock Now! Buy Real Estate Now!
Why?
Because it's cheap! and you're not going to see deals this good for a loooong time.
Just when the economy is "tanking" and oil, real estate and the Dow Jones are in a major slump, everybody's talking about slowing down or saving their money. Anyone with an IRA or 401k needs to max that out now-- Put as much in as possible because it's only going to go up.
And just so you know.. you can actually roll your IRA into real estate---cool huh?
So, you have just put everything you own in the stock market and real estate. 10 years from now, the real estate has doubled. And if you had a couple of houses on those properties... and renters... you've just made off of 2 houses a profit of about $400 X 12 Months = $4800 x10 years = $48,000 for holding property. And that $150,000 house in Houston in 10 years went to $300,000.
California is in a better position. All of that property has depreciated majorly and is close to bottom, if not already there.
So all of this opportunity is out there... Waiting... Why R_U ?
Be Conservative, Be Bold, Be Positive, Opportunistic, Ruggedly Individualistic. Go out and Buy!
But don't take my word for it. Look up the stock market trends in the '30s. Look at real estate values for the past 50 years. Timidity gets you nothing. Those who seek out opportunity find it.

Stick This In Your Pipe and Smoke It
First the government in their infinite wisdom decided that analog TV was bad for America. You have to convert to Digital or you won't have a signal. Have you ever watched snow? Now all you have to do is go out and get yourself a sweet little converter box. But wait, it's not free. Still you can get that neat little coupon from the government. Yay! Oops. The box is still going to cost you about $20. OK. It's doable. If you have Twenty dollars to spend...
OR. You can go out and purchase yourself a brand spanking new, oh so shiny, fresh out of the box, still warm from the soldering, Flat screen, LCD or Plasma TV from your neighborhood Wal-Mart or Best Buy if you've got a credit card, because we're keeping the economy going, Right?
Ok, so now you have your brand spanking new, oh so shiny, ect. TV and find that your power bill is going up. Why? Because the new LCD takes about 43% more power to run. Ooh and that Plasma just cost you 75% more power! Oops, what can we do about that? I know! In comes government again to help us out of our quandary. California is debating whether to require energy standards on televisions just like the energy standards for other appliances in your home. Like your refrigerator or coffee maker. Thank God for government. If it weren't for them your power bill would likely go up twelve to eighteen dollars per year. Whew! And here I was thinking that the people could decide what to buy and what not to buy all on their own. Too bad for those people selling electronics. TV prices go up and the selection gets smaller. They could lose out on a lot of money and jobs in California. But who needs those jobs, the economy in California is fine. They've got a balanced budget and they don't need that tax revenue anyway. They're protecting the little guy. Right?
Did I mention that you will still be able to buy the TV's online from places like Amazon? So who wins in this? Ask your local government. They know what's best for you anyway.
