Just Plain Mad

New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix, and many other places report horrible budget bloodshed.

The day of accountability has arrived-- and there's far more budget bloodshed to come. California's troubles sound like millions of similar troubles around the nation. The people are furious. For myself, I'm angry at virtually every Democrat (and for that matter, any who support this socialist insanity). I don't mean ticked, torqued, or miffed. I mean red-hot furious at how they're flying our beautiful Gulfstream jet of a nation straight into the ground. Others similarly call those radio stations to attest the magnitude of their ire-- and how the irrationality of spending money you don't have makes absolutely no sense.

By what reason, logic, or rationale can Socialists continue to plunge a knife into the heart of my country?

I returned to the USA as land of opportunity. I could start a business, own a home, invest in land, and had the opportunity to do virtually everything I wished. Times got hard and times were good-- but I had control more so than in other countries.

In every leadership and business role I've had to live within my means. I've had to do so at home, too. Although I once knew a woman who lavishly spent every penny the family had, and then kept spending far more, that is a personality foible, not complete insanity. In the process of getting "what she deserved" she just murdered a few innocent hearts. To her such was acceptable in exchange for "security." History remembers all the wonderful potential of what she could have been... but instead refused to become.

But think of it-- if I again became CEO or General Manager, imagine the sheer stupidity of walking in and as my first act committing $25 million to new advertising, $152 million to a new factory addition, $22 million to wheelchair ramps, and $781 million to a new parking lot... before peering deeply into the rusty old coffee can to see what was inside-- and before learning what needed to be done... merely because I "deserved it" as CEO; because my "election" to that office made my vision superior to reality.

Rubbish.

That's the difference: I have both experience and a sharpened common sense. Mr. Obama does not. The only experience he and his ilk will gain is what it feels like to be hated by those millions whose bankrupt lives can no longer support his reckless idiocy.

We thought we lived in a civilized society, but when our very existence is threatened, we'll react. New Orleans, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix... many countries throughout the centuries have chased despots out of office with pitchforks and torches by the castle walls.

In Jamaica the dictators know, "Keep the people's bellies full to avoid rebellion."

We will not let this one go because it threatens our existence-- it's not optional for us.

Cheers
