NUTRITION: GOD, GOVERNMENT & PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

CAUTION:  THIS WILL OFFEND.

I am not a medical doctor or dietitian; honestly, I really don’t have much use for either.  The info below is from years of research and personal experience.  So how you use the information is your responsibility, not mine.  We live in a society that always wants to blame everyone else for their mistakes.  Do your own research, and make your own choices, good or bad.  Take responsibility.

The title is a little loaded, but they all intersect.  Recently on Facebook, a young lady was banned for telling the truth about obesity, because FB called it hate speech (a little politics for you).  All she did was tell the truth of the consequences of obesity and how, as a society, we shouldn’t  ignore the epidemic.  Warning:  she was much nicer than I will be, and much more eloquent.

Let’s start with a few facts, not my opinion, facts!  As a nation, we are a bunch of lardasses!  80% of Americans are overweight, over 35% are obese.  12% of the population has heart disease, 10% has diabetes... that is just a start.  If you want to look for more data, checkout the CDC website.  The truth is we are extremely sick!  We eat and drink excessively, and then wonder why our rate of disease increases every year.  FACT:  This is all preventable!  We make the choice to be sick.  I can hear you already, whining and moaning.  Whine all you want, but it is our fault.  You will notice I do include myself in this, I have done many of the things I will be ranting about.  I realize that my choices decide my health, so don’t think I am judging or condemning.  I’m letting you know what the problem is and how to fix it.  I, too, am a work in progress.  I stumble regularly. 

More facts:  over 4 billion prescriptions were written in 2011, which is over 12 prescriptions per person!  Over $300 billion a year is spent on prescription drugs.  Over 750,000 people die each year from conventional medical mistakes, and over 100,000 of those are from prescription drugs. Sickness is big business!  No, I don’t hate the drug companies, because we decide to take these drugs.  Your doctor plays a major role in the drug game as well.  Most people blindly follow doctors’ instructions without question.  If that is you, you’re an idiot!   

GOD

How does God want us to eat?  Good question.  This could be debated for hours, so I will be brief.  And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit.  You shall have them for food. (Genesis 1:29)  This is the bottom line for me.  This was God’s original plan; this was Eden, paradise.  We, of course, screwed that up and continue to be disobedient to God.  Our defiance to his Word is why we are in the mess we are in today (not just nutritionally, but that is for another time).  Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?  If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.  (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)  This tells me that I am suppose to take care of my body, respect and love it; not destroy it with drugs and chemicals.  If it comes in a box, it has chemicals in it!  If you eat fast food, or any restaurant food for that matter, you are filling your body with drugs and chemicals.  Do I eat at restaurants?  Occasionally, but I do it knowing there is NO nutritional value.  It is usually social and very rarely.  We were designed to eat fruits and veggies; people will always debate this, and that’s ok.  If you do eat meat, make sure it is organic and drug free.  If you think God meant for us to live in poor health, you need to reread your bible.  Disease and sickness aren’t of God; they are of man. We have created this land of fat and sick, not God!  Just because we can do it doesn’t mean we should!  We have corrupted God’s plan for us, and most people conform to it, believers and deniers alike.  We have taken a paradise, nutrient rich food source created by God and destroyed it by adding, mutating, and infecting it with everything from hormones to disease… all in the name of conformity.  Just because the FDA says it, doesn’t make it so; they have an agenda!  I close this subject with this:  Therefore I exhort you, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a sacrifice – alive, holy and pleasing to God – which is your reasonable service. Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God – what is good and well pleasing and perfect.  (Romans 12:1-2)

Government

Over the last 100 years, the government has tried to tell us how to eat.  None of it has ever been based on science or nutrition.  The food pyramid was to promote the grain and cattle industry.  Don’t get me wrong, as I’m all for supporting our farmers; but don’t lie to me about the benefits of food that can actually kill me.  Dr. Max Grerson testified before Congress in the early 1900s on the benefits of nutrition and the ability to cure cancer holistically.  The medical and pharmaceutical  community proved too powerful of an opponent for a doctor who could literally put them out of business, so his testimony was buried, and very few heard it. 

Now we have the government in NYC telling you how much soda you can buy, how much salt a business owner can use, while smoking is practically outlawed.  This is all because we are apparently too stupid to decide for ourselves.  Since I’m in the health and wellness business, it seems like I would be happy about this.  Well nothing could be further from the truth!  We don’t need the government to take care of us; that’s our responsibility!! Government controls the school menu, and the before and after school menu, so they try and tell us how to feed our kids.  Of course,  we are too stupid to take care of our kids.  Some people like this intrusion, but I do not!!  The schools try to force milk on our kids, which is one of the worst things a kid can put into his body.  People can debate this, but it is my decision for my child!  The only government law needed is for us to know everything that is in our food.  Which for some reason very few people in government and business want to happen.  If we know what’s in it, bad or good, it is our decision to eat it. I don’t want anyone to be put out of business because of restrictions; let the free market decide. I love a McDonalds fries and coke after a 20 or 30 mile run, and I wouldn’t like it if they went out of business.

Now the Affordable Care Act is the law, and this will give the government more ammo to tell us how to eat and drink.   Because if they are paying for it, they want to control it.  Now keep in mind when I say “they,” I mean us as tax payers, but that is never brought into the governments equation.  The government also wants to control our money, but that is also for another day.  The governments so-called experts don’t know dick about nutrition!!  They care about their agenda:  control!!  If you think putting calories and fat on a menu will keep the average person from buying a burger, you’re as stupid as the government believes you are.  It has nothing to do with caring about our health and wellness, it is all about controlling the sheep!!   We pour billions of dollars into research every year, research into every disease imaginable, but have we cured anything in the last 100 years?  NO!!  There are “better” drugs to keep us around longer, to buy more drugs.  No cure! The answer to all disease is nutrition!  99% of the disease is brought about by lifestyle, environment and culture.  All of which we have control over, which takes us to the next part.

 Personal Responsibility

 When I tell people that it is a decision to be sick, it really pisses them off. Unfortunately, the statement is true!!  We decide what goes into our bodies, thus we decide what happens to our bodies.  It is that simple!!!  If you want to eat a diet of fat and alcohol, then you accept the consequences!  If you are obese and eat a buffets all of the time, it isn’t my business.  BUT, I don’t want to hear you whine and complain about your health, and I sure as hell don’t want to pay for your medical bills!  We all stumble from time to time:  5, 10 maybe 15 pounds overweight, but when you get 50, 100, 200, 300 pounds overweight, you are a lazy undisciplined anchor on society!!  These are the people that have Lap band surgery, use diet pills, and any other quick fix products on the market to try and fix, what took years to create, in 30-90 days!!!!!  Here is a news flash moron:  there is no quick fix!!  It is a lifestyle change, eating the right foods, drinking plenty of water, exercising 4-6 days a week.  The real answer to all of our health problems is simple, but in the current environment of conformity and instant gratification, it is difficult.  It is also very doable!  Eat lots of fruits and veggies, drink plenty of water, get out in the sun and exercise every day,  get 6-9 hours of sleep a day, and most importantly build a strong relationship with Jesus, because the answers may be simple, but they are tough to do on our own.  Praying on a regular basis and finding contentment with what we need, not what we want, can only happen through the power of Christ.  I can do all things through him who strengthens me.  (Philippians 4:13)

Have a nice day

VANESSA RUNS:THE SUMMIT SEEKER

VANESSA RUNS: THE SUMMIT SEEKER

The past weekend I found myself searching for a motivational read, something to get me fired up for this year’s  coming events.  I’m coming off of a injury and coming back smart and slow, which is difficult for me.  I like to just jump back in where I left off.  All things considered I have to be 100% by the end of April, so slow and smart is the way to go.  Anyway, I went back to a couple of favorites: Born to Run & The Ultramarathon Man.  I love both of these, they are motivational and informative.  For some reason they just weren’t cutting it so I did a search on my Kindle and stumbled across; The Summit Seeker: Memoirs of a Trail Running Nomad.  I down loaded a sample and just couldn’t stop there.

Vanessa Runs, that’s what she calls herself, shares her journey to ultra running with us.  What a journey and adventure it is.  Her passion for running and life is contagious!!  She is unconventional, not to be trendy or stylish, but because that’s who she is, in her approach to life and training.  It is refreshing!!  As she states, this isn’t a how to book.  She shares her stories from her first taste of running to her 100 mile adventures.  I think those of us that struggled with running at first can really relate to her and how she embraces the highs and lows of pushing her body to exhaustion and beyond. 

She also shares life’s emotional ups and downs, how she overcame and moves forward.  Vanessa doesn’t dwell on hardships dealt her, which is a nice change, she learns from them and becomes stronger for it.

This book is for everyone who runs!  Women will really relate to it.  She shatters the stereotype of the female body type of a runner.  In a lot of ways she reminds me of my wife Paula.  She has a thirst for knowledge and reads everything she can, same body type and same mentality when out there on the trails immersed in natures beauty.

As someone who has been downsizing the last few years,  her current life is very appealing!  Living in a RV and taking life one day at a time. Living on her terms, no compromise, I love that!

Finally; her struggle with who God is, my words not hers, with horrible examples in faith, she never loses her faith.  I think God has been watching over her, guiding every step and has big plans for her.  You will be hearing more from her, get to know her now.

ISN’T GOD’S WORD AMAZING? NO!

Amazing-causing great surprise or wonder

Think about that definition.  The true meaning of the word Amazing.

A few weeks ago Paula and I were driving back from church, discussing the message of the day.  This is fairly normal for most, I think?  We were going over the scriptures of the message and discussing the impact of the message on our lives…….  You know, just reviewing.  Then Paula said “isn’t God’s word amazing?” I paused for a second and responded with a very strong “NO!”First of all It is rare that I disagree with my wise and wonderful wife, second it is also rare for me to pause before shooting off my opinion.  I still say NO!! 

Think about the definition of amazing.  We are talking about GOD here, all powerful, Omni present, creator of all life……that being said, why on earth would I be “amazed” that his word is wise, powerful, loving…….  Personally I am not amazed by GOD’s word, I am moved by it, I am inspired by it….   But not surprised that GOD has given us this wonderful book to guide us through our lives.  It is our owner’s manual.  He made us and he knows what’s best for us, so to say amazing isn’t really accurate.  Yes I’m being very literal.  There is nothing that GOD could do or say that would amaze me.  He can move mountains, cause the blind to see, the lame to walk and most important forgive the unforgivable.  The Bible is our Handbook or Owner’s manual to a fulfilling life.  So it’s not surprising that there is wonderful and powerful wisdom throughout. 

WHAT IS AMAZING……

What is amazing is our continued arrogance, pride, self-important mindset that refuses to take his word to heart.  That is AMAZING!!!  GOD didn’t give us the Bible to punish us or so we would miss out on “fun”, just the opposite.  GOD’s word is to insure that we have life abundant.  GOD knows that sin leads to pain for us, the consequences of our actions.  That is why he guides us through his word with love and wisdom, to avoid the painful repercussions of sin.  Let’s look at it this way.  Every item that requires assembly comes with instructions.  All of us have tried to assemble without reading the instructions or even ignoring the instructions after having read them, both resulting in failure.  It is the same thing with GOD’s word, all of the answers to a full abundant life are right there in the Bible.  All we have to do is follow his instructions.

No GOD’s word isn’t amazing, our arrogance and refusal to accept his loving guidance, that is AMAZING.

THE AFFIRMITAVE ACTION ADMINISTRATION: CELEBRATING FAILURE

I know the title of this will piss off all the race baiting libs, but the truth can be ugly and tough to take.  I really think that is the root of our current problems in this country, our society as a whole can’t handle the truth.  The truth is this president and his administration is a complete failure!  The worse thing in this mess is the voters inability to admit that our first “black” president is a failure.  He isn’t even black!  He is just as much white as he is black, he is a mixed race president.  Which isn’t that big a deal because we are all mixed race.  Anyway, let’s pretend he is black.  The failures of Obama and his administration are really too numerous to chronicle.  Here is a short list, The Stimulus that didn’t work, the unemployment that is the worst in decades, the only job creation is by the government, Fast and Furious, the beer summit, which really emphasizes Obama’s own racism.  Holder’s refusal to prosecute the Black Panthers, Green energy failures, more people on food stamps than any time in history. The last food stamp count is 14.9 million households on food stamps!!  What an embarrassment! I’m just warming up!  I didn’t forget Benghazi, why should I mention it?!  The media doesn’t!  The loss of life alone with Fast and Furious and Benghazi would not only get a white president, democrat or republican, impeached and definitely not reelected.

So why do I call this affirmative action?  Because the only reason it is accepted is because Obama, Holder and Rice are black!  That’s Susan Rice, not Condi.  Condoleezza Rice isn’t protected because she is somewhat conservative.  The above failures would not be tolerated in any other administration. Here is a small example, not small of importance small in the scope of all their criminal behavior.  When GW was in office CNN, MSMBC….all did a daily body count of military killed in action, all holding GW accountable.  Which he was!  This stopped practically the day Obama took office!!  Let’s talk just a little about Susan Rice, she is a total fuck up and lied to the country about the cause of the Benghazi murders.  Anyone that questions her is a racist misogynist!  Look at the past Condoleezza Rice and Collin Powell, both black both very competent.  They were attacked over and over by the liberal media yet no one cried racism or sexism or any other ism. Why?!  Because they were working for GW, the evil white, Christian Conservative.  If you are black, Hispanic, female and conservative it is open season on you!!  You’re a sellout, uncle tom, not a women?!....or just an idiot.  Yet that is never questioned and is actually celebrated.

This type of failure is accepted more and more throughout our society.  Look at public schools, they advance kids to the next grade knowing they can’t function at that level.  Their excuse?  Background, family, poverty, can’t speak English, ……bottom line they are rewarded for failure.  That is what is happening with this administration.  The president can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, only if he has a teleprompter telling him when to step and when to chew. He isn’t only incompetent he is dangerous for our country. He is definitely trying to “fundamentally change” our country.  Those are his words, I knew what he meant, did you? 

It’s no secret I hate what the Obama administration is trying to do to our country.  Socialize it!! Now if that’s what you want, which I guess half the country does, that’s okay in theory.  It still doesn’t excuse the deaths of Americans and the poverty that has struck this country the last four years!!  This administration is almost a mirror of the Carter years, he was crushed in a landslide by Ronald Reagan.  The greatest president in my lifetime!!  The American people just wouldn’t stand for mediocrity, nor should we!!  Yet it is worse under the Obama administration and he and his team are given a pass, a do-over.  Yet it will continue to get worse.  Look at the exit polls from the election, over 50% still blame the economy on GW.  Are people really that fucking stupid?!!  Really!!??

Not only are the American people accepting failure and mediocrity, it is being celebrated!  Obama is being praised and GW is being blamed for his mistakes.  People blind themselves from the truth because they don’t want to admit the first “black” president is a failure.  He sucks, just deal with it!  It is like the O.J. trial, yes I’m comparing the two but O.J. did kill less people, the black community didn’t care that he brutally murdered two people.  He was black and should get a pass!  It’s the same thing with Obama, Holder and Rice, they are completely incompetent yet are given a pass and four more years to screw things up even more.  All in the name of AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

WELCOME TO AMERICAN SLACKERS

WOW!!  This has been a shocking week.  Tuesday night I was sucker punched!!!  It was a knockout!  I never thought the American people would re-elect this loser.  In 2008 I was fooled as well, never thinking the American people would fall for the huge con job.  I couldn’t believe it in 2008, but I could kind of understand it.  People had Bush fatigue and wanted something different.  So I wrote it off as a fluke.  Most of the people who voted for Obama in 2008 had no idea who he was or what he stood for.  Unfortunately most of the people that voted for Obama in 2008 were racist. Racist?!  That’s right Racist!!  The black population voted for him just because he was black, sorry folks but that’s racist.  The guilty white liberals wanted to be a part of the first black president, once again racist!  You vote for someone because you believe in their policies and want to see them put into play in our government system.  “But I believed in Obama’s policies” you say.  No, because you knew nothing of his policies.  Why?  Because the media didn’t vet him as a candidate.  The media, the libs(one and the same) and the guilty whites wanted a black president so bad that they didn’t care how radical Obama was they just wanted to be a part of history. I would vote for anyone that held my values and would uphold the constitution.  I don’t care what race or gender!

The 2012 election was different, we saw how incompetent Obama is and how radical.  Granted we just got a glimpse of his radical beliefs but they were there.  His views on Israel, his constant anger when someone questioned him, the DOJ’s refusal to prosecute the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation, DOJ’s criminal actions in Fast and Furious…….And of course Benghazi!  The list could go on and on.  So I just assumed that the American people wouldn’t stand for this type of incompetency.  I was fooled again!!  Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.  What I didn’t understand or want to believe is that over half of the American population are lazy slackers.  Shame on me for thinking that Americans are hard working, strong, self-reliant and moral people.  Shame on me!!  I really didn’t realize until Tuesday night that we are a nation of lazy, amoral fucks!!  Who would rather have stuff given to them than work for it, who would rather kill babies than have a strong economy, who would rather have an Obama phone than have a strong military…..  The list is endless we have become a shameless society!!  Disgusting!! 

After days of praying and discussions with my wonderful and Godly wife, I know that the big picture isn’t this election.  I know God has a plan that none of us can begin to understand.  That doesn’t mean we don’t fight for what is right.  It just shouldn’t control our lives.  Don’t make anything an idol, that is exactly what Satan wants.  I only worship our Heavenly Father!  I will continue the fight as we have a anti-American, anti-Christian, anti-capitalism American President.  That statement doesn’t even make since, unfortunately it is true.  He is a failed president who got a pass on his failures because he is black, that again is racist! 

I will continue to expose Obama and his administration for what it is, corrupt and anti-American.  It will be in my spare time, after I make time for my Lord and Savior, My wife and family and my job and charities.  I will make time though!  In the mean time for those of you who are disappointed with the election keep up the good fight!  Never forget to always keep God first and all will be well.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

DOUBLE MUDDER AND THEN SOME

The weekend of October 13 was the start of a very interesting and grueling week to come.  Saturday the 13 was the first of two Tough Mudders I would be running.  I had signed up back in June.  You had the choice of Saturday or Sunday, but if you signed up for both days you received a 50% discount of the second day.  A easy decision as far as I was concerned.  My thinking was “I’m an ultra runner a 10-12 mile course just isn’t going to be enough”  that’s why I’ve never signed up for the Warrior Dash.  Let me say now, one day was challenge enough.

The atmosphere was electric!!  The music was non-stop, the MC was very motivating and the participants were wound tighter than Niles Crane.  Everyone was full of energy and eager to engage with fellow competitors.  I was fortunate to get into the 9am start, which was the first wave.  To get into the starting corral you had to climb over an 8 feet wall.  I was a little keyed up and ran an jumped higher than I thought possible, good and bad thing, I slammed my ribs right on the top of the wall.  Thus knocking the wind out of myself, as well as cracking a rib which I realized later that night.  I won’t bore you with every obstacle, just the highlights.  Mud was the taste of the day!!  We ran trails that were muddy, went through obstacles that had mud, walked through creeks that had plenty of shoe sucking mud and plenty of belly crawling through mud. 

The Arctic Enema was the first surprise as I have taken hundreds of ice baths and jump into Smithville lake just about every New Years day.  Well all I can say is I have never experienced a cold such as The Arctic Enema!!  It is about five feet deep and you have to completely submerge to go under a dividing wall.  I was numb for about the next ten minutes. The second day I had to talk a young girl through this, as she was starting to panic from the shock of the cold.  The icing helped my ribJ  My rib was a little sore but the adrenaline of the day kept me from thinking about it. 

The trails we ran were always steep climbs with dangerous descents, so much so the second day, after the rain, we had to slide down instead of run. All the obstacles were challenging, actually harder than expected.  The biggest surprise was the eclectic shock challenges.  I knew there would be the Electric Shock Therapy, this is the final obstacle you run through with wire hanging down that flowed with 10,000 volts of therapy.  I thought no problem, just sprint and dive through.  The surprise was The Electric Eel!!  This is a military crawl of about 20 yards, in mud, with wires hanging down every six inches or so.  With the same electric therapy.  I’m don’t want to be dramatic but it felt like I was being hit with a hammer every few seconds.  About five yards from the end of the Eel I blacked out.  The next thing I knew I was standing up unable to see.  Once my vision cleared it was time for about 50 yards of mud followed by Everest!

Everest is a half pipe you had to run up and climb over. Almost impossible by yourself.  There were a few that could do it alone but most of us needed assistance.  I was still dazed while standing in line waiting my turn.  I kept seeing people try and slide back down, over and over.  There were participants at the top trying to pull others up.  Just the thought of trying to get this done over and over again was draining.  I took a deep breath and ran as hard as I could, drained from the last 10 miles, I ran straight up and didn’t stop.  I was able to grab an extended hand and climbed to victory!! 

After Everest it was time for a finale Shock Therapy and then the coveted Tough Mudder orange sweatband.  I was covered with mud from head to toe and exhausted. What a great day!  As I told my wife. I have never had so much fun getting my ass kicked!

Back to the hotel and all the pain set in, I realized after cleaning up that my rib was cracked and Sunday was going to be quite the test.  I ran a double Brew to Brew with a cracked rib once, so I wasn’t worried about running it was climbing, swimming, crawling….  I won’t go into the details of the pain and struggle, once I prayed and decided to do it, I just did it.  It was tough, but seeing my wife praying over me at the start helped pushed me to the finish.

  I trained very hard for this but could have trained harder.  I watched all the TM videos trying to structure a strength training plan to overcome these obstacles, while building my endurance for an upcoming 50k with a client.  My finale thought for Tough Mudder is, don’t underestimate the challenge.  Be prepared!!

I had scheduled Monday as a day off, thank GOD, which was needed.  I rested, ice bathed, stretched, refueled and pounded Advil.  I worked Tuesday with no problem but my real challenge didn’t start until Wednesday.  I had to run with clients Wednesday thru Saturday, Wednesday was 3 miles, Thursday 10 miles, Friday 8 miles and to top off the challenge the KC marathon Saturday.  I did go and get taped up with Kinesio Tape to ensure stabilization.  Like I said I have ran with broken and cracked ribs before, it is painful to start but once I find my stride I can absorb the pain ok.  I would rather run with a cracked rib than sneeze, if you have experienced this you know exactly what I’m talking about.  The 10 miles was tough!  So tough that my client I ran with, who is a doctor, insisted on prescribing a pain killer.  I did take a half dose Friday and Saturday morning. 

I must say the week went way better than expected!  The power of prayer is amazing!!  The marathon went great and my client, Sarah Somasegaran, ran a 50 minute PR!!  She ROCKED!!

As I write this I am medicated, so sorry about any errors.  It was an amazing and productive week.  After struggling for a year to get back to peak fitness I am very satisfied.  In closing I leave you with this scripture Habakkuk 3:19, check it out! 

GOD is my strength!!

FADS AND TRENDS! NOTHING REPLACES HARD WORK AND GOOD NUTRITION

It seems like every day there is new way to get in shape.  Whether it’s a new type of exercise or new equipment or the latest weight loss super drink.  I really am sick of all of it.  I have been involved with the fitness industry since 1982 and the bottom line is; it’s never easy!  If you want fast results be prepared for them to disappear just as fast.  You can run hundreds of miles or go to so-called Boot Camps, Crossfit or whatever the trend is at the time.  You will not reach optimum health unless you work hard and combine that with good nutrition.

 What is good nutrition?  I could go on and on about the benefits of a raw vegan diet but I won’t because that is a path a lot of people don’t want to follow.  I understand that.  So I will tell you to be healthy, as healthy as you can while eating animal productsJ, you need to cut out all processed foods.  Nothing out of a can or box, fresh fruits and veggies.  Your meat should be grass fed and local.  So, for those of you who don’t know that is basically the Paleo Diet.  For those of you looking at the title, Paleo or Raw for that matter isn’t a trend or fad it is actually the way we were eating before we became industrialized. I would direct you to Genesis 1:29, GOD’s nutritional plan. 

 If you think you can exercise and eat poorly you are in for a rude awakening.  It may not happen while you are young but eventually the fat laded food will destroy your body.  If you think you can eat well and not exercise again this will catch up with you as your body will start to deteriorate if not maintained. 

 Short and to the point; exercise everyday and eat whole fresh food and your body will change, slowly, to a well oiled efficient machine capable of anything you mind is capable of.  Stop looking for easy and fast or making excuses for your lazy ass.  Get moving and change your diet!

JESUS vs. ALIENS

As I sat in church last Sunday our pastor mentioned how Christ taught for 40 days after his resurrection.  How hundreds of people witnessed this incredible miracle.  This has been well documented over the past 2000 years or so, yet there are still people who don’t believe.  Interesting?  Now, over the last 100 years or so there have been many reports or sightings of UFO’s or aliens.  Still no hard evidence, documentation, pictures……  You would think with all of the current technology these aliens could be caught on camera or something.  The funny thing is people want to believe aliens exist.  Mention Jesus to them and they freak-out. Some of these same people claim that we(Christians) are clingers to a myth, we also cling to our guns.  Obama said that by the way.  I do cling to the fact that Jesus died for me and is my savior.  I don’t believe in aliens!

The fear of accountability is always the stumbling block for so-called non-believers.  It isn’t that they don’t believe, they are deniers.  We are born with the innate knowledge of God.  This can be proven by all of these non-believers freaking out over anything to do with religion.  If you don’t believe in something what difference does it make if someone else believes in it.  I don’t believe in aliens but I don’t care if people do believe.  That is there right, as long as it doesn’t affect me. 

Question:  So do you believe in a savior that died for your sins and arose from the dead three days later? This has been documented over and over again, proven through archeological findings.  His miracles have also been documented. 

Question:  Do you believe in something out of a comic book?  Aliens coming to earth that are so much wiser and of course enlightened than we are.  You know the way liberals think they are. 

Where will you be when Jesus comes back?  Clinging to life on another planet or worshipping our Lord and Savior?  I will stick with Faith and the Facts of Jesus!

 Amen!!

CHRISTIAN, CONSERVATIVE, VEGAN, ENDURANCE ATHLETE

That’s a mouth full!!  It’s been a long while since I have written a blog.  Why?  I can’t really pin down a reason.  I have so much to say about everything, but I just haven’t wanted to share.  Which is very unusual for me.  I think one of the reasons has been that I have a hard time focusing on one topic.  Politics, religion, nutrition, running, triathlon……  Politics have been on my mind and in the forefront with a lot of people I interact with.  The election coming up is one of the most important in the last 100 years.  Religion is always on my mind as my walk with Christ has taken a very positive and dedicated turn over the last year.  My nutrition has evolved so that I try to keep with in God’s nutritional guidelines, yes they are in the Bible you just have to look for them.  Most importantly you have to want to see them to experience His grace through wellness. Endurance training is my job and what I love to do, unfortunately I have been nursing an injury for the past 2 months and it has been difficult to inspire others. 

Back to the title and the change to the blog heading.  Over the past six months or so I have heard Rush talk about Vegans/Vegetarians in a very negative light.  Which is really understandable since most veg-heads are militant assholes who want to force people to follow their lifestyle instead of educate and give them another option.  The title of this blog and the new tagline are there for a reason, to stress you can be a Christian conservative and a veg-head.  To some that doesn’t sound like a big deal, but to those of us who research nutrition know that most veg-heads are assholes just like Rush says.  They will get in your face and force their views about food, the environment, their politics and anything else they think you are doing wrong according to them.  Yes I am a veg-head, actually I am a low fat raw vegan, LFRV. 

 I think people should eat the way they want.  That being said I do think people need to be educated about their food; where it comes from, how it’s grow and prepared……  ONLY if they want to be educated, no one should be forced to learn anything.  That does sound weird, but we should be able to read, view and research what we want not what some radical or government fuck-head tells us we should.  If someone wants to spend their lives eating fast food and playing video games that is their right.  A waste, but their right to live how that want, as long as it doesn’t intrude on others, so be it. Yes, most if not all of the militant veg-heads are little self-important liberals who want to control your every move.  Like Bloomberg in New York who tells you how much salt and fat you can have when you eat out.  Now he wants to control your soda consumption.  What a self-righteous piece of shit!!  I think all of those things are horrible and I would be happy to educate anyone why if they asked me or read my blogs.  It’s none of my business what anyone eats or drinks and it’s none of yours.  Most importantly it’s none of the governments business!!!  The government does nothing but take away our freedom, chipping away a little at a time.  50 years ago you would have never thought that some elected official would dare tell you how to eat or drink.  Now people are actually thinking to themselves “well if people can’t take care of themselves someone has to”.  Really!!  Is that the country you want to live in?!

 If you want an honest opinion on the above topics please stay tuned.  The next few months leading up to the election I will speak out with a Christian conservative slant, I will never lie or make things up like most libs do,  Just the truth as I see it, facts to back it up.  Opinions like, Obama is a socialist piece of shit destroying our country.  Which is easy to back up with facts.  I will also talk about a new direction my training is going, details to come.  I will go into great detail on how the Bible tells us how not only to conduct ourselves but how to eat and care for ourselves.  Hopefully you will be educated, enlightened and sometimes offended.  Especially if you are a liberal, self-righteous, busybody veg-head who is stupid enough to vote for Obama.

 Stay tuned!!

RUNNING AND POLITICS! REALLY? YES REALLY!!!

It is kind of a joke with friends and family that I can relate anything to running, politics, religion, nutrition and Seinfeld. That's right Seinfeld, I love that show! I will try to focus on running and politics today but may slip in a few things relating to my other favorite subjects. In reality I truly believe everything relates to politics and religion, if you don't see that it is a conscience choice to ignore that fact. For my own personal entertainment I can come up with a Seinfeld episode that relates to just about anything. They covered many issues in all those years, from circumcision to abortion to the "pigmen". All very serious subjects. so let's talk about running and politics.


Running and Politics; two of my favorites! I'm sure it might have started earlier but for me it began in 2007 when the Chicago marathon was canceled in mid-run due to heat. No I wasn't running, I had about 10 team members there though. People who trained months to achieve a goal of finishing their first marathon, conquering their PR, finishing in honor of someone with a disease or qualifying for Boston. All very lofty goals, all very doable no matter what the weather. Since then it has happened over and over, small and large events. From Lewis and Clark marathon canceled because of storms and flooding to the Olathe marathon for a snowstorm. Heat is the main reason most of these endurance events are canceled. Just recently in Kansas City The Warrior Dash was canceled due to so-called extreme heat. Two people died and over fifty went to the hospital for heat related issues. If you Google "running events canceled due to weather" you will see dozens of stories like this. As I continue know that I am saddened that people have suffered and wish no one to have to go through those types of things but we must accept responsibility for our actions.

What does this have to due with politics? Everything!!! We have become such a litigious society everyone has to cover their ass. Who would have thought you could sue someone because their coffee was too hot? Just because someone was a dumbass and spilt their coffee in their lap it is the coffee suppliers fault. This was the McDonalds case of course, they have also been sued for creating lard asses. Remember the Seinfeld episode when Kramer spilt his coffee in the theater and sued the coffee house? Yes it is McDonalds fault these people stuffed their faces and spilt coffee on themselves. There's the case of the drunken women who drowned because she couldn't unfasten her seatbelt, her parents sued Honda and won $65 million. Fortunately it was thrown out on appeal. How about the two losers who sued Oliver Stone(who happens to belong in the piece of shit hall of fame) and Warner Brothers because the movie Natural Born Killers caused them to go on a crime spree. There is the women who sued Universal Studios because the haunted house was too scary. All of this shit is true, sadly. I could continue but what's the point. You get the idea, no one is responsible for their own actions it is always someone else's fault. Even in running events! That's right! Rock N Roll San Diego has been sued after a man died hours later. Bullshit!! There are Warrior Dash lawsuits pending as well and many other running related lawsuits.

How is this political?! You ask again! Well all of my conservative friends already know the answer. Over the last 100 years or so the liberals have done everything they can to take away personal responsibility. They have created a welfare state, they have made it fashionable to kill unwanted babies, they have made it a crime to take responsibility for your own medical care. The poor can buy a house even though they can't afford it, then blame the lender as being predators when they can't pay. If you are homeless and out of work it is the evil rich who are responsible because they won't hire more people. While at the same time the same people are spewing hate speech at the rich and wanting to tax them out of business. All led by liberal lawyers trying to make a buck, decrying the evil rich yet making more money than the so-called rich. We are an entitlement society, over 50% of the American population is on some type of government assistance. The bottom line, there is no more personal responsibility.

Let's talk about running, finally! If you get heat stroke or heat exhaustion or frostbite or have a heart attack during a run it is your fault. You chose to run!! If I pay for my race registration I want to run the race! I use the term "race" loosely, I am in no hurry. If there are people unprepared that have to stop so be it. Why do I and all the other people prepared and well trained have to stop. As in politics we have to make sacrifices for the minority. Fuck that!! I am responsible for ME! Not the idiot who didn't train or chose not to drink enough or eat enough. I know that sounds harsh, it's not that I don't feel for them I do. I just don't think everyone else should suffer because they fucked up. Personally I am tired of paying the price because of peoples poor decisions. You should be tired of it too. Not just running but in life. You are taxed because people want government handouts and want to sit on their ass. The run you trained 6 months to a year for is canceled because its too hot out, boo fuckin hoo, I want to keep running and take care of myself.

I have been wanting to address this subject for a while, then I got an email from NorthFace Endurance Challenge saying they would cancel the upcoming KC event if temps went over 95 degrees. That set me off a little. Over 95 in August!! How unexpected!! I thought this was The NorthFace Endurance Challenge not the Senior Citizen Dance. This is NorthFace!!! The adventure company, what the fuck?!?! I was ok with the rest of the email, telling people to carry their own water etc.... To call yourself an Endurance Challenge and then say if it gets too hot we are taking out ball and going home. What a bunch of pussies!! It all boils down to the fact that they don't want to get sued by some asshole looking to hit the "legal lottery" because it was hot and they didn't train or drink enough. Did you know there are two Seinfeld episodes that highlight the New York marathon?

So the next time you are forced to stop running because of the weather and you are pissed about it, think about your decisions in the voting booth.

KEEP RUNNING NO MATTER WHO TRIES TO STOP YOU!!!

ARROGANCE: ARE YOU DESTROYING YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL?

Let me start by saying as you read this don't take offense.  Just absorb and do a little self analysis.  I write this because over the years I have been the most arrogant person you could ever meet.  So I really am just sharing with you my experiences as well as my observations of the human race. I am or have been guilty of a lot of the things mentioned below.  I am not trying to judge, just trying to make you think about the things you do, that really do have consequences. I am posting this on both of my blogs because I feel it is relatable to both audiences, the few that there are.  This really came to a head for me just the other day.  I was listening to a Christian CD about building a strong marriage and how all problems in marriages boil down to Selfishness.  There is nothing more selfish than arrogance.  When you think about it, arrogance is the catalyst to most of our problems.  I hope you will see this as I continue.

 

Our Mind

 

Think about our day to day life and the trash we let seep into our mind or subconscious if you will.  From the television shows you watch, to the constant negativity from so-called friends.  We allow so much garbage into our mind that it piles up and begins to affect our lives with out us even realizing it.  That co-worker or friend makes you start thinking about all the negatives in your life.  The sex on T.V. makes you want something different than the loving spouse that you have committed to.  Paula and I just watched The Black Swan, why on earth anyone would want to watch this trash is beyond me.  This was nothing more than a self-involved fucking pity party.  It was a waste of my time!!  These are the types of movies that get "critical" acclaim, whatever the hell that means.  How about that mind control drug called The Disney Channel.  There are almost NO positive male role models and all the kids are smart-ass materialistic brats.  This is the main course in our children's minds, not the bible or the news or American history.  If you don't think this influences your kids your an idiot. What about pornography?  Infomercials?  Reality shows?  Fashion magazines? No I don't want Disney off the air or ban movies or books, as all of you know I am all about freedom and we are free to choose what we put in our minds.  Don't be so arrogant to think you or your kids can be subjected to this trash without some or all of it seeping into your minds and affecting you daily life and choices that you make. 

 

Our Body

 

As most of you know this is a very hot topic to me and my family, we spend hundreds of hours teaching people about whole food nutrition.  As endurance athletes we have at times abused our bodies.  So I will start with how some athletes abuse their bodies by pushing too much, too hard.  I have a hard time with this myself, I really have to listen to my body for signs of over training.  I know some of you out there are guilty of this as well.  Yes, I think we should try to test our limits.  We must be wise about it as well.  I know our bodies are capable of things we can't even imagine.  We must be intuitive towards our bodies.  On the other side of that there are people (most of the population and unfortunately a lot of athletes) who continually flood their bodies with chemicals and artificial literally killing themselves.  As a society we pollute our bodies daily with soda, coffee, tobacco, prescription drugs, processed foods, beer, wine, fast foods.....  All of these are accepted by society.  Yet these same people cringe at crack or heroin addicts. When in reality they are addicts as well, their drug is just accepted by society.  Not only are these addictions accepted in secular society they are also accepted in the Christian society.  It's ok to be gluttonous but don't lie to anyone? We are also feeding our kids these exact same things, in essence we are creating food addicts.  Though most of the things people eat isn't really food.  If what you eat is altered in anyway it isn't food, it is a food substance.  I could countinue down this road for hours but I won't.  My question is are we so arrogant and/or ignorant to think we can abuse our bodies, that are a blessing from God, and get away with it with no repercussions?  These same people are shocked when they have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, cancers, develop diabetes, Crohn's.....  We reap what we sow!!  These sickness that are attacking our population are all self inflicted and preventable.  Don't let your arrogance kill you or your kids. Through Gods plan and with prayer we can control our health.  Genesis 1:29!!  Read it, know it and live it!!  Your Body is a Miracle!!

 

Soul

 

Time to preach!!!  Amen brothers and sisters!!  I know what your thinking, is this the same guy who dropped the "F" bomb above!!  Damn right!!  I will jump right out and say anyone that says "I don't believe in God"  is an arrogant liar.  Yes I know, not very Christian of me.  If you don't believe in something why is it an issue?  The mere fact that people make that statement tells me they know there is a God they just choose not to follow him.  That's ok!  We are free to choose our path but don't lie to me or yourself and say there is no God.  Atheist and agnostics are Deniers.  There is no such thing as an atheist or agnostic, we are born with the innate knowledge of our Lord.  What you do with that knowledge is a choice.  I know it sounds cliché but no one can watch a sunrise or sunset, see a baby born, a flower bloom, eat an apple....without knowing there is a God.  These things are not an accident or big bang or any other theory you want to pretend to believe in.  The fact is people deny God so they can live by the saying "if it feels good do it".  The liberal credo:)  The denier doesn't want to be held accountable for their actions so they tell themselves there is no God therefore no consequences.  I feel this is the ultimate in arrogance. 

 

Liberals

 

You didn't think I could talk about arrogance without mentioning the elitist arrogant liberals!  If you believe that liberals are genuine then they are either arrogant or fucking idiots.  Liberals, our current president included, have tried their policies over and over with the same disastrous results, yet they still believe in these policies.  It has been proven time and again throughout history that Communism, Socialism, Marxism, Dictatorships...... do not work!!  They bankrupt the government and create poverty.  Yet year after year liberals try to take over businesses, healthcare, insurance.... all in the name of helping the poor and downtrodden.   Arrogance or idiots? You decide.  If they aren't genuine, which is my belief, then they are elitist arrogant asshole who want to control our lives.  Either way they suck and need to be stopped.

 

Summary

 

The solution is simple.  Read Gods word to fill your mind and soul.  Eat Gods food to nourish your body.  It's really quite simple but the simplest things can be the hardest.  Keep God first, stay in pray and you can conquer anything.  What do we do about the liberal?  Pray for them, they are Gods children, I guess.

 

God Bless

Anthony's Weiner

Oh the trials and tribulations of Weiner, as with all liberals/democrats he is a victim. That is the liberal badge of honor "victim". If you are a democrat, vote democrat, support liberal causes.... you are either a "victim" or you "care about the victim". Which of course is all a load of shit!! I really don't understand what all the uproar is about when it comes to Weiner. Democrats can due just about anything and get away with it. Weiner's "crime"; being a dumbass. Anything you do on social media will come back to you, bad or good. Did he do anything wrong really? According to the liberal media and his democratic constituents, absolutely not. That's the way it is when you are serving in any public office as a democrat. It does make sense, democrats/liberals have no moral compass so how can you do anything ethically or morally wrong? For you libs reading this don't go off on a rant until you do your research. Democrats historically can do just about anything they want.


From lying under oath to manslaughter, it really doesn't matter as long as they continue to promote and vote for government handouts and killing babies their jobs are secure. Clinton lied under oath, yes it was about sex but he still lied under oath. Most importantly because of his corrupt ways an innocent woman didn't get her day in court. Whether he was guilty of rape, sexual harassment, being a man-whore..... is irrelevant, let a jury decide. The Monica scandal was his down fall, sort of. I could care less what he does with a willing partner, that is between him and his wife. I would've never voted for him because of his policies. None of the things he did kept democrats from supporting him. Why? Because liberals have no moral compass and they don't want one. That is their out when they are busted doing something wrong. "Well I didn't run on family values" so they believe they shouldn't be held accountable for ethical or moral indiscretions. Sometimes even breaking the law, like perjury or in the case of Teddy, manslaughter. I feel it was murder because ol'Teddy chose to leave the scene and let that poor woman die. Yet he was re-elected over and over. Go figure. Then we have Barney Frank, an embarrassment to gays everywhere. This little bitch ran a male prostitute ring out of his apartment!!! Yes it was his boy friend but Barney knew. Would you miss a prostitution ring in your apartment! If he didn't know that is even more of a disqualification for office, because then he isn't a criminal he is a fucking idiot!!. Again he is re-elected. It is hard to blame him, it is the brain-dead in his district. Nancy Pelosi is just an out and out idiot!! Yet she owns that liberal infestation of San Fran. Maxine Waters has been under a pending ethics investigation for over a year. I can easily predict she will be re-elected. She is a two'fer in the "victim" status, black and a women. She can do just about anything!! I could go on and on here, Sharpton, Jackson, Dodd, Issa, Gore, Geithner....the list is long and unpunished. Why should they be? Nothing is expected of them.

On the other side, Larry Craig taps his foot and is out of office. Trent Lott praised senator Thurmond and is a racist and MUST step down as leader of the party. Yet Byrd, a KKK leader, is re-elected and praised in his death. Representative Chris Lee sends a photo without his shirt and steps down. Why? Because he represents people with a moral compass, republicans.

Back to Anthony's Weiner. Nothing will become of this because he, in the eyes of the liberal media and his constituents, has done nothing wrong. Weiner could have sent a video of him jerking off and nothing would have happened. As long as his constituents keep getting their handouts, can kill their babies, can be openly gay in the military, punish the rich, persecute Christians.....then they really don't care what he does.

For myself, my moral compass has been off course and sent me shipwrecked many times. I am not running for office and I would like my political leaders to be a little better than me. That is one of the MANY differences between conservatives and liberals. Liberals want someone to make them feel good about there lack of morals and ethics, Conservatives want someone they can aspire to emulate to better themselves as Americans and human beings.

TWO AND HALF MEN GO TO WASHINGTON

Last week Obama came out with his economic plan. It wasn't a planas much as it was a campaign speech and he also said the same old democrat mantra "tax the rich". One thing the spineless Marxist said got me to think, in my warped sense of humor way, we have become a nation of Alan's. Now if you don't watch the show this won't make much sense. What the Marxist said was "we don't begrudge the rich their success, we embrace it." This takes me to Alan, a pathetic loser who blames everyone but himself for all of his so called problems. While at the same time condescends to Charlie, who is successful and self sufficient, about his man-whore life style. Yes Charlie drinks, gambles and sleeps with a lot of women. He has many issues, but again is self sufficient. Alan lives in Charlie's house, pays no rent, barrows money from Charlie, has been know to steal from Charlie, He still has the nerve to get on his soapbox about Charlie's life, claiming to "care" about him. In reality he is jealous and envious, he jumps at the very few chances he gets to live the life of Charlie. Then of course justifies it by saying he "deserves" it. If you can't tell I thoroughly hate Alan, the character not the actor. He is everything that is wrong with this country. He has made a series of bad choices and blames everyone around him for them. At the same time thinks he "deserves" better. We deserve nothing but our freedom. If we have our freedom, not what we have today, the freedom that was give to us by God and The U. S. Constitution, we will succeed on our own hard work. Not the hard work of others.


The statement Obama made is very much like the attitude of Alan and over 50% of the people in this country. Over 50% of the country receive some sort of government handout. Obama and the deadbeats that sponge off the government "embrace" other peoples success only to take from them what they have worked hard for. This hatred for the rich always confuses me, the so called rich are the ones that employ the rest of us. The same is true with the sitcom 2 !/2 Men. Alan truly hates Charlie for his success in life, yet claims to love him. Not only does Alan sponge of of Charlie he has been know to steal from him and a few times wished him dead with the hopes of inheriting his money and house. The federal government does the same thing to the successful people in this country. People that make over $250,000, which isn't rich, are taxed up to 60% in some states. Then when they die the government goes after their estate. Their Estate!! Which has already been taxed at least 2-3 times, throughout the course of the persons life. Does that make any sense to you? If it does you are a fucked up individual!!

Unfortunately our country is producing more and more Alan's, by design. Yes in my opinion, which I have stated before, this is happening on purpose. The more people dependant on the government the more people will vote for candidates that promise them handouts. The more handouts the more dependant they are, it is a vicious circle. A vicious circle of taking from the productive people in our country and giving it to the "have not's" or as I like to call them the lazy fucks!

During his campaign speech, I mean his economic speech Obama said the "rich need to pay their fair share". What kind of shit is that?!!! The so called "rich" already pay a minimum of 35% of their money to local, state and federal government. As I stated before in some states they pay up to 60% of their income to some form of government. 60%!!!!!!!! Their fair share!! Fair? How does anyone think like this? How do you think it is "fair" to take over 50% of someones hard earned money? Personally I don't make a lot of money, I never have. That has never been my objective, I get by happily. That being said, aside from the Marine's, all of my money came from the so called rich. Now that I think about while I was in the Marine's the rich was paying me as well, they are the ones who pay all the taxes.

Let me close with this, Obama and the dems want to take money from the people who work and give it to their voting base. They are literally buying votes! If you don't see that you're an idiot. To all you Alan's out there get off your ass and take care of yourself!!!

Have a Nice Day

PASTOR JONES DIDN'T BEHEAD ANYONE!!!

Pastor Terry Jones has stated that he wanted to bring attention to the fact that Radical Islam was violent by burning the Quran. To most of you reading this you're thinking "no shit"! Anyone with a logical mind knows that Radical Islam is a violent terrorist organization. Most of the terrorist acts committed in the world are by Muslims. That isn't my feeling, that is a fact. Aside from all of that, is the act of burning the Quran protected free speech? Is Pastor Jones responsible for the killing that took place thousands of miles away by rioting Muslims? Are abortion providers responsible for the violence that has been inflicted on some of them by Radical Pro-Lifers? Pastor Jones is protected by the First Amendment, abortion providers are protected by the Supreme Court, so they have the right to do what they are doing or did. Now some Senators are thinking about trying to go after Pastor Jones. Why don't they go after the baby killers? I think both Pastor Jones and the baby killers are wrong but they are not doing anything illegal. No I'm not equating the two. I can not understand killing a baby under any circumstances. I can however understand being so frustrated with the political correctness of our society that the need to do something to get the attention of the Government and society blurs ones judgment. I don't agree with what Pastor Jones has done but he has every right to do it.


As I have stated in previous postings it's OK to burn the Bible as they did in Afghanistan as a show of tolerance, but look at a Muslim cross-eyed and you are a racist, bigoted hate monger. As a Christian, Conservative, white guy this kind of stuff really makes me lose my fuckin mind!! You can say anything negative about Christians, Conservatives or white people and you get a free pass. Christians especially!! You can shit on pictures of Jesus and call it art, you can say Conservatives want to kill old people and children and the media actually takes it serious, and as we know all white people are racist unless they are liberals. Things like this happen everyday in America, it is rarely reported and little is thought about it.

Look at the problems in Wisconsin, the Unions bus in protestors who DO commit acts of violence and vandalism. Not much is said about all of that. Let the Tea Party have a peaceful get together and they are falsely accused of racism, violence, vandalism.... none of which happened. They even clean up when they leave a venue, unlike the piggish Union protestors who completely trashed the Wisconsin capital.

Let's be clear Radical Islam needs no reason to kill and destroy, just the fact that we are free and breathing infuriates them. I'm sure the stuff I write pisses of some raghead somewhere. By trying to find a way to punish Jones is exactly what the Radical Muslims want. Just like the unconstitutional searches at the airport, they love it! Burning the Quran is just a media attention getter for both Pastor Jones and the Terrorists. As a Christian I don't understand Pastor Jones, burning the Quran is hateful, he is free to be hateful. The same as the Klan or the Black Panthers, both are hate groups but they have the right to hate. You can't control someones thoughts, though that is the direction we are going. There will always be hate and there will always be love, the love of Jesus will win in the end. As Americans we have to honor the Constitution as a whole, not just the parts we agree with. As Christians we are tolerant of all religions, though is is our responsibility to bring people to Jesus with our personal testimony. As of right now we are still free to do that.

Pastor Jones isn't responsible for any deaths in Afghanistan or anywhere else. Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Call me silly but beheading someone is a choice. I don't think anyone forced them to to do that. Of course the libs are all about choice, they will probably try to make beheadings legal for certain people, Pro-Choice you know. I am so fuckin funny!!! Speaking of choice, Bobby Guosh from Time Magazine made the statement that the Quran was sacred because the Muslims believe it to be "The word of God", not written by men like the Bible. Not only is this insulting to Christians, it is total ignorance!! My whole Christian faith, as well as every other Christian I know, is based on the fact that the Bible is "The Word of GOD"!! Bobby is an asshole!!

I was kind of rambling but I'm sure you get my point.

Bottom line; Ignore Pastor Jones he didn't kill anyone, he is an idiot and has every right to be. Kill all Radical Muslims before they kill us, the only logical solution.

Have a nice day.

A COMMON SENSE BUDGET

There are many things threatening the stability of our great country right now. Politicians and pundits all have voiced their opinions on many of these problems. What are the problems? I think the problems vary depending on if you are liberal or conservative, though we can agree on most. What we can't agree on is the solutions. The problems; Deficit, Unemployment, Border security, Growing Government take over, Failing Education system, No current Budget in place as of the last 2 years, Now involved in 3 military actions...... The list goes on and on, I think it boils down to Spending and Security. What do we do? It really is simple. The problem is that no one, republican or democrat, wants to make the tough decisions or the big cuts to our HUGE Government. Here is what I recommend. I think even my conservative friends will resist some of this. All I ask is keep an open mind a when in doubt read the Constitution!


Of course cutting spending is always a fearful task for a politician, they all have their pet projects. Well I'm not a politician, I am a concerned American. So let's cut the obvious. Now I won't explain these first cuts because in my opinion they need no explanation. If you think they do you're an idiot! Eliminate funding for; Planned Parenthood ($350 million per year), National Endowment of the Arts ($160 million), Corporation for Public Broadcasting ($430 million), NASCAR ($32 million). No farm subsidies, no funding for sports arenas, urban gardens, youth programs, homeless shelters, overseas abortions, Amtrak, Postal Service....No foreign aid, which totals over $8 billion a year. No financial support to any Universities, education is not a right. So no tuition funding of any kind from the Government. If you get a loan for college then you pay it back with interest. Just like any other loan. I would also cut the pay of ALL Government employees, to include elected officials except the President, to $150,000. No one being paid by taxes payers should make more than that. If you want to make more than that go to the private sector. I am all about Capitalism!! I don't care if a private company pays it's CEO One Trillion dollars, if they make it they can spend it how they see fit. The Government doesn't "make" any profit. Everything that the Government does is paid for by the American tax payer.

The Department of Education, here I would do as I stated above. Cut the pay of the Administrators to $100,000. Then I would incorporate merit pay for teachers giving them a chance at the big pay up to $100,000. Teachers would be paid and rehired based on performance, not tenure. Performance? Welcome to the real world!

Department of Defense, same as above. I would pull out all military in other countries. If we are there as a security force then that country better be paying our expenses. No profit just expenses. I know my fellow military people are freaking out!! Relax and let me explain, some of you still won't be happy. The militaries job is to defend the U.S.A., that's it. They are not meals on wheels or any other humanitarian cause. There job is to kill the enemy with extreme prejudice!! That is exactly what I would have them do, kill the enemy. If there is a threat to our country by terrorist, dictator... I would run covert ops and assassinate the leaders involved. No I wouldn't cut troops because you never know when the next major war is going to happen. I would make efficiency cuts though. If you have been in the military you know that the Government pays outrageous prices for equipment. I would put a stop to that. The military would be covered medically for the rest of their life IF they served in combat. People like me who didn't see combat doesn't need or deserve this benifit. Unless they are disabled in the line of duty.

Welfare and Medicaid will total, with the new Obama proposals, over $10 trillion the next 10 years. I'm very sorry, I really am, but these are not rights contrary to what the libs tell you. These types of things should and would be covered by churches and other charities. Over $20 billion a year is spent on illegal immigrants, that would be cut out. I'm so mean! Unemployment would be for 6 months, no exceptions! It is not the Governments job to pay you a salary!

I would abolish the IRS!! That would save billions!! Why would I do that? I don't believe the Government has a right to tax our base income. I'm ok with taxing goods and services, sort of:) The Government has no right to know how much money anyone makes. The tax code should be easy enough so a high school graduate could do it. GOD only wants 10% but the Government wants up to 60%. Doesn't that worry anyone else? All Government services, with my cuts :), could be paid for through sales tax. No property tax every year, you pay for it once it is taxed once. I know that is a strange concept. I could go on and on about taxes but that is the short form:)

As Americans we are supposed to be self reliant, not dependant on the Government. Non of the above, according to the Constitution, are rights. You are guaranteed the right to Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness. It is up to us to make a life, good or bad, not the Governments job. I'm sure there are more things I could cut. Unfortunately no one has the courage to make half of these. This is a dream list. Like the list you make if you were to win the lottery. You know we all do it. List everything we would do if we won the Lotto. I do it too, the problem is I don't every play the Lotto:) I will see the Jackpot on a billboard and then daydream about what I would do. I guess I should by a Lotto ticket, I have a better chance of winning the Lotto than our Government being run the way the Constitution intended.

I didn't even curse today, what a good boy am I:)

BIZZARRO WORLD: LOOK FOR THE UNION LABEL

Let's start off with the Wisconsin debacle, or should I say "I'm taking my ball and going home". That seems to be the democrats answer to a bill they don't like, they didn't go home they fled the state. What a bunch of whiny little bitches!! Listen I don't think the republicans did enough to stop ObamaCare but at least they voted and did their job. Speaking of doing your job, if you call in sick and get a fake doctors note and everyone knew about it and you were on T.V. and did all of this in the name of caring about your job; would you be fired? Everyone in the private sector would!! If you are a Union member fighting for more pay and benefits than the average American, who also will be footing the bill, you won't. These so-called "teachers" who supposedly care about the kids and schools that their whine fest shut down for a week, care about nothing more than milking the tax payer for their "rights". Let me do my disclaimer: My wife is a teacher. That's right! Since when is it a right to get healthcare and not pay for it? Don't say ObamaCare because it is already costing plenty! They tried the same shit in New Jersey with Christie, he wanted them to pay 1.5% of their health care. 1.5%!!!!!!!! Who out their in the private sector wouldn't jump at the chance to have a job like that. All we hear about is how under paid the poor teacher is. The "poor" teacher makes more than the average American and that doesn't include the thousands of dollars in benefits. They also get all holidays and summers off, cry me a fucking river! All paid for by the American worker.


Let's talk about the protesters. There has been violence and destruction of property, they even attacked a Congressman trying to go to work. Yet none of this is reported by the main stream media. In contrast with the Tea Party Rally's, where the only violence was caused by SEIU thugs. They didn't trash there locations the way the Union protesters have trashed the Wisconsin Capitol. Yet all you heard from the media was it was violent and of course racist, the liberal trump card. If libs can't debate it or explain it, it must be racist. As I write this the childish Dems are still gone. Who's paying for their little trip?

Just announced today, unemployment plummeted to 8.9%! 8.9% and all the Obama sycophants are having orgasms. 8.9%!!!! When Bush was in office if unemployment crept up to 5% the damn sky was falling, Social Security was bankrupt, homeless would die instantly..... if Bush didn't raise taxes on the "rich" it would be Armageddon!! Were supposed to be excited about 8.9% unemployment? I thought unemployment would never go above 8% if the Stimulus bill was passed. The Stimulus Bill passed and created virtually no jobs. What about all of the "shovel ready jobs"? Which later Obama said there is no such thing as a "shovel ready job". Could it be that, I don't know that Obama is a lying, worthless piece of shit? Either that or he is a Marxist who wants to "fundamentally change America" , that's what the man said. Just quoting the president:)

Gas prices are currently $3.30ish depending on your location in the country. When Bush was in office it topped out around $3.85 or so and of course Bush was in bed with the oil companies laughing all the way to the bank. Yet the media doesn't make much of the current prices, which have more than double since Obama has taken office. ????? Can you really say, with a straight face, that there is no bias in the media. We don't do the daily "dead solder count", even though solders are still dying in combat. Remember how CNN practically had a party when the body count hit 3000. The important thing to remember is that they media/liberals could care less about a dead solder, unless it can help them politically. That is the ONLY time libs support the military, when it can win political points. These are the same people that spit on Vietnam Vets and called them baby killers, they are now running our government and the media. No not Obama, he was going to Muslim school in Indonesia. I think? We really don't know much about our president. Does that concern anyone else?

In closing Unions suck, most teachers suck, Obama sucks, the media sucks, but unemployment is 8.9% and gas is only $3.30. Lets have a fucking party!!!
