Tis the silly season it seems. From those who think its Obama's fault that the sun sets too early in the winter to it's Obama's fault that the wind blew a tree into a car.
Lets review shall we? Gas prices low. Very low. [✔]
Stock market on a high (you have a retirement account?) [✔]
US automakers doing a booming business? [✔]
A lot of people having health care and not going bankrupt over their healthcare? [✔]
*Are there problems yes. Are they solvable, yes. I still have not heard from the conservative republicans about passing their own health care. They have not brought any thing up for a vote to replace Obama Care. (Oh and while I am on it, I have spoken to some people on 'Obama Care'. Interestingly enough their insurance card does not have Obama Care on it but only the insurance companies name. Wow. You would have thought it it was Obama's and not a Republican idea it would have Obama's name on the insurance card.
Is any one on social security retirement. Hows that COLA working out for ya all? And all you have to do is look at what the Republican's have in mind for your Social Security. Privatize it turn it over to the banking industry. How did that work out with the housing sector? Raise the retirement age? Wow really? If you are a white senior citizen male and look forward to retiring know that if the Republicans get a shot at it they will raise the retirement age.
Remember when Mitch McConnell stated he would make sure Obama was only a one term president. How did that work out Mitch? He was elected for a second term and oh how you howled. Remember the melt down of Karl Rove in Fox?
And to this day the Republicans still cannot stand to say that Obama has done well. Not excellent, not awesome but done well.
The next thing you need to consider is Ben Carson. Do you really think that the Republicans will elect another black president? Really? And what is a Log Cabin Republican? That sounds like an oxymoron. Good luck guys. When was the last time any of the Republican candidates asked you to support you publicly.
What is a Muslim Republican? Really. Wow. Good luck with that. Any Republican Muslims been invited to support any of the Republican candidates?
While we're at it. All of you people in college, how's that debt going with you. You do know you cannot discharge this though bankruptcy? And Obama is the one who made a slight change to cut out the middle man. Think about it people.
Any Hispanics here? I know some of you love Rubio who is Cuban. However there is a small price that most of you Hispanics pay for being Hispanic here and not Cuban Hispanic. That is the Wet Foot Dry Foot loophole. Say you are Cuban and you come through Mexico and happen to arrive in Texas. Guess what!! Welcome mi amigo. However if you are from the lower parts of South America we have a wonderful detention center waiting for you. So a double standard for all.
The we have the 'Green Eggs and Ham' Ted Cruz. Wow. I thought for a moment he was Speaker of the House. Oh wait he's a senator? Machiavelli should be so proud.
President Obama has deported more illegals than any other president.
And ladies. Hello (bows formally to the women. Remember a woman can prevent from becoming pregnant in the case of rape. August 2012 Tod Akin stated his absolute opposition to abortion (no exceptions for rape) by claiming that the victims of “legitimate rape” have biological mechanisms in place to reject and prevent pregnancy. Im sure that most of the OBGYN's were wondering where Mr. Akin's obtained his medical degree.
There are only two front runners in the Democratic field, Berni Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Sometimes the electorate shoots themselves in the foot.
Look I know we are afraid. I know that. But when you see people saying they will shoot down Russian aircraft in a Syrian no fly zone, remember the Russian's have subs capable of and willing to fire at the US. Most of the Republican pack were not alive during WWII. The Soviets were invaded by Hitler. To this day they are a paranoid nation. China is loosely allied with Russia. Not to mention what North Korea would do.
I am sorry conservatives and republicans but the world does not revolve around the United States. Countries will agree with us sometimes and sometimes not. Take Iraq? The UK pulled out. The Aussies pulled out. Who did the heavy lifting? We did. And for what? Don't say to bring about regime change. The worst word President Bush used was 'crusade'. Not understanding what that word meant.
Lord I really miss a real Republcian General and President like Dwight Eisenhower. A real leader and a real compassionate conservative. Who, if he were to run today would not even be on the lower tier of CNN or Fox Business.
So when you vote, remember, if you vote Republican you get what you voted for.

What's wrong with Texas.
As I sit here typing I have wondered what in the world is wrong with the state of Texas. I think I have found out what is really wrong. Texas never really was ready for state hood. Even after Santa Ana Texas was their own 'country'. Fast forward to today and Texas still thinks it is better than the United States of Merica (yeah I spelled it that way on purpose.
The paranoia exhibited by Texas today is amazing. Spending tax payers money for the Texas National Guard to 'keep an eye' on Governor asks Texas State Guard to monitor SOCOM exercise.
The other area that astonishes me is the number of Texans without health insurance. According to the Texas Medical Association, in Health Insurance Coverage of Adults 19-64, 2011-2012, U.S. and four largest states, Texas has Texas 15,678,700 of those 4,969,600 are uninsured. Health Insurance Coverage of Children 0-18, 2011-2012, U.S. and four largest states, Texas has 6,252,600 children uninsured.
Of course this would be okay if it was just after the Alamo but its not. Its now these figures are 2012 figures not 2015 figures. Texas Medical Association .
Some of you may or may not know about what a Hospital Emergency Room is required to do. Federal law mandates that hospitals treat sick patients who come to the emergency room regardless of their ability to pay — whether or not those hospitals get uncompensated care funding.
President and CEO George Masi of Harris Health System is in a conundrum. Using Medicaid waiver funds is what is helping President and CEO George Masi of Harris Health System.
Lets get back once more to the independence streak Texas has. Even Sam Houston was perplexed as he raised taxes and fees on the new Republic of Texas. If you want to understand Texas you have to understand the history of Texas and how as the first President of the Republic of Texas Houston was much like General Washington.
During a vote to accept Texas as a State, former United States President John Quincy Adams, now a member of the House of Representatives, blocked its passage. Adams, an avowed abolitionist, was determined not to admit any state that supported slavery.
So what is it about Texas? Texans are indepedent. If they are that independent then an act of Congress should be passed to allow Texas again to become a Republic with all financial ties to the United States of America cut. Every government agency, FBI, NSA, CIA, Coast Guard, FAA and any other government alpha bet soup gone. No more FEMA. You see it was was bandied about by some Texan's that FEMA was a waste of good tax payer money.
On August 26, 2011, Ron Paul decided to trash FEMA just before hurrican Irene came ashore. He went on to cite the deadly hurricane of 1900 that leveled Galveston, Texas and killed more than 6,000 people as an example of a better life before FEMA. “I live on the gulf coast, we deal with hurricanes all the time,” said Paul.
According to the Houston Chronicle, September 16, 2011Texas was on fire and the volunteer firefighers were "...outmatched, underfunded and ill-equipped to fight the unprecedented onslaught of fires fueled this year by unceasing drought."
According to an article in the Christian Science Monitor, September 7, 2011 (not a very liberal news paper), it's headline was, Texas wildfires: Is Rick Perry being hypocritical asking for federal aid?
So there you have it. Lets give Texas what it wants, complete and total independence from the United States of America. If you have a disaster, oh I don't know, like wild fires or hurricanes or tornadoes or flooding, have your churches hold a bake sale and leave the United States alone.
Time for Texas to become a Republic again.

What Is Wrong With Texas?
What is wrong with Texas? Well let me think a moment. Ouch, that hurts my head. Will some one any one please who is in Congress please write legislation so Texas can secede from the Union? After all, this is what they have wanted a long time.
The governor just signed a law prohibiting any municipalities from passing any laws restricting fracking. What happened to less government? (Texas Gov signs bill against cities that ban fracking)
And Texas isn't the Lone Start State for nothing. So if its a Lone Star State its time to give Texas it's long desired wish.
Let Texas be the Country of Texas. Once that happens take the FAA, FBI, DEA, CBE (customs Border Enforcement), TSA. All military and close the bases of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. No more FEMA funds since it is from the 'bad Federal government'. Any federal agency in Texas out of Texas. I am sure they can just get along without the United States of America.
So what happens if a hurricane, tornado, summer fires or flooding happen? Have them organize a bake sale at their local church. Remember local control is the buzz word here.
You can't have it both ways Texas. I am so tired of all the moaning and grubling about Obama did this Obama did that. And another thing, what is a Log Cabin Republican? Isn't that an oxymoron? And the women in Texas. What is wrong with you girls. Good grief. I guess you need to be kept barefoot and pregnant and in the kitchen where you belong.
Time to give Texas its wish to secede. Let them print their own money and leave them alone.
