Anyone who has known me for a long time knows I've been following politics, with a fervor usually reserved for a favorite sports team, since I was about ten years old. Ronald Reagan was just entering his first term in our highest office, winning in a landslide against what, until recently, had been the worst president in history, Jimmy Carter. Carter was the reason I have never been a liberal (the present-day definition of the word).
Even with following politics so young, I never would have entertained the notion of actually entering politics. Aside from not having the compunction, I wouldn't have had even the foggiest notion how, to enter political life.
That's why my hat goes off to young CJ Pearson. I first heard about him from the Chicks On The Right website. He's a young conservative, ironically raised by democrat parents, who has not only taken an interest in politics, he's entering politics.
CJ has written a bill, HR37, to put before the Georgia General Assembly that would lower the minimum age requirements to serve in state government, which currently stand at 21 years old for the House and 25 for the Senate. Seriously, he's TWELVE!!!
Just listen to this young man and you'll instantly feel the hope for our nation return:
There are far too many adults (read: liberals) who are perpetual children, believing that the world owes them high-paying jobs, financial security, free housing and education, free healthcare and/or health insurance (not working out so well, is it?), etc., etc., etc., ad infinitum, ad nauseum, simplybecause they exist. It's refreshing - invigorating - to hear a young man who just "gets it."
I applaud CJ for taking an active role and interest in politics. I wish him nothing but success in all his endeavors, and if he grows into the man that the child hints at, this nation will be far better off than it is today.
Yesterday, on The Kelly File's Facebook page, a link to the Fox News story about the federal judge in Texas and his decision to temporarily halt the Prince of Fools' executive action on illegal immigration was posted. That's not terribly surprising, as nearly every news and/or opinion show with a social media presence has posted a story or three about the injunction.
What was remarkable, however, was a particularly brilliant comment (included in this post) posted in the thread. The commenter has since informed me that it was originally from Ted Nugent. I'm not a huge fan of Nugent, but when you see satire this beautiful, it just has to be acknowledged. Enjoy. ~ Hunter
I'm planning to move my family and extended family into Mexico for my health, and I would like to ask you to assist me.
We're planning to simply walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and we'll need your help to make a few arrangements. We plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws.
I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here So, would you mind telling your buddy, the President of Mexico, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking Government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. Please print all Mexican Government forms in English.
4. I want my grand kids to be taught Spanish by English-speaking (bi-lingual) teachers.
5. Tell their schools they need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my grand kids to see the American flag on one of the flag poles at their school.
7. Please plan to feed my grand kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.
9. I do plan to get a car and drive in Mexico, but I don't plan to purchase car insurance, and I probably won't make any special effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from their president to leave me alone, please be sure that every patrol car has at least one English-speaking officer.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US. flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, or have any labor or tax laws enforced on any business I may start.
13. Please have the president tell all the Mexican people to be extremely nice and never say critical things about me or my family, or about the strain we might place on their economy.
14. I want to receive free food stamps.
15. Naturally, I'll expect free rent subsidies.
16. I'll need income tax credits so that although I don't pay Mexican taxes, I'll receive money from the government.
17. Please arrange it so that the Mexican Government pays $4,500.00 to help me buy a new car.
18. Oh yes, I almost forgot, please enroll me free into the Mexican Social Security program so that I'll get a monthly income in retirement.
DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a doctor, or any other type of medical professional. I do, however, have an active mind, always seeking knowledge, and I've read many things about this topic, from both sides of the debate. This is my opinion on the matter, from a common sense perspective.

I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but I just call things like I see them. This is one of the few times that I believe in the so-called "herd mentality." This measles outbreak has people almost literally up-in-arms on both sides of the vaccination issue. Personally, I'm in favor of vaccinations. My kids were all vaccinated, my multitude of siblings and all of their kids (99% sure). I have exactly one nephew with a touch of autism (and he's probably got Asperger's, not autism) and none with any of the disfiguring, painful, and potentially deadly diseases these vaccines protect against - and I don't know anyone, not one single person, with a child who has been adversely affected by any vaccine. I have yet to see any verified, credible mainstream and conclusive evidence that vaccines cause autism, or do anything other than get someone mildly ill as their bodies develop the antibodies to these diseases. Seriously, I don't care who you are - if you don't get your kids vaccinated, you are selfish. You are more concerned about what something could do (with an extremely low statistical possibility) than you are about what would happen if your child is exposed to these diseases (with a pretty high statistical probability). Not to mention exposing anyone else you and your child come into contact with to the same fate. Being a conservative, I do not agree with any level of government (not federal, not state, not local) forcing a parent to get a child immunized through legislative action. I do, however, believe that since government's primary responsibility is the protection of its citizens - not from themselves, but from each other - that the government can prohibit that parent from sending their child to school, or any other public function until said child is immunized. If that sounds harsh, oh well... My right to be protected from your stupidity absolutely trumps your right to be selfish and ridiculous. Don't vaccinate your kids - homeschool. Can't homeschool? VACCINATE YOUR KIDS. It's a fairly straightforward equation - and one I wholeheartedly believe. ***For the record, I'm fully aware that not everyone who contracts any of the diseases would die, or be horribly disfigured, etc... But why would anyone want to take that risk - and not even for themselves, for their children (who don't know any better & can't make the choice for themselves).*** To me, that is the absolute height of selfishness... ~ Hunter
"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing..." Other than the Bible, were any truer words ever spoken?
I'm not saying King DingleBarry is a good man. His wanton and deliberate destruction of the nation I hold dear certainly bears that out, but the United States is still a good nation, and we are being prevented from ridding the world of this cancer called islam. Make no mistake about it - it is a cancer. These so-called "radical" islamists are not - I repeat, not - radical. They are the devout muslims - it's the ones who don't commit violence against others, or have no interest in subjugating the world who are the radicals, despite what His Royal Lowness and others say.
ISIS, hamas, the taliban, book haram, and a whole host of others (all in lowercase to denote my profound disrespect) - they are following the fundamental teachings of their "prophet" mohammed. They are true believers, and the sooner people start to realize this, the sooner we can get about the demolishing of all they are, do, and stand for.
You needn't take my word for it, however - just listen to one who knows firsthand. ~ Hunter
A friend, who shall remain anonymous, posted this on his Facebook page, but was ordered to take it down as he is still active duty military and subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice (which makes it essentially illegal to criticize the President of the United States). I think it's brilliant, and deserved to be shared (and since I'm no longer subject to the UCMJ, I can and WILL post it). ~ Hunter
Yesterday, Christianity was attacked by the president of the United States. He falsely accused Christ as the very reason for slavery. He falsely accused the Crusaders (who were liberators) of killing in the name of God. He did this at the National Prayer Breakfast. On a day when multiple religions come together and try to figure out how to come together for a better America. This is not me speaking against my Commander in Chief, this is me speaking against the liberal agenda to demonize Christians and dilute factual history. Martin Luther King was a pastor. The civil rights movement was all based around rights given to man, from God. That all men were created equal in the eyes of God. Slavery has been around for thousands of years and was (is still) in many religions, a normal act. Clearly, America moved forward and equal rights were bestowed (a very dark history in our country that thankfully, came to an end).
There are still many countries where slavery is alive and well. Islam enslaves women still to this day. Children are married to men and raped, all in the name of "Allah". They are sex slaves, and simple slaves of muslim men. The are discarded as meat, and are treated less than dogs, by a culture that sees dogs as unclean animals. As muslims (then under the Ottoman Empire) moved across lands beheading Christians and Jews, the Crusaders came to the rescue and liberated lands from Islam. This is fact.
A clan named "The Kuhners" stopped them in modern day Croatia in a battle that lasted centuries. Again, this is fact. I feel sorry for any man who can stand on a stage (just one day after islam burned a man alive, and is now killing Imams that condemned the burning of a muslim man) and blame christ for deaths that happened more than a thousand years ago. He stood on that stage like a college liberal professor and spun history to meet his agenda. Essentially, he called the Catholic Church (Who ordered the crusades) "Al Qaeda" and "ISIS". 1000 years ago, the sharp end of a sword was the only negotiation piece with murderers. Christianity moved on from murder, Islam has never evolved one minute. Again, I'm not bashing the CiC, I'm upset with his view on my religion. I'm exercising my god given right of freedom of speech, protected by the Constitution of the United States of America to prove a man wrong. This has nothing to do with military order. I would openly debate him on religion, even though I'm ordered to follow his military command.
First, let me apologize for not writing as frequently as I'd planned. Life has had an annoying habit of getting in the way lately, as well as some of the fire being burned out of me due to some infighting with people I thought were friends and fellow conservatives - turns out they were neither. Go figure...
Every once in a while, however, along comes a story that just deserves to get ridiculed, and this is one of them.
The socialist utopia formerly known as the state of California has proposed a new tax. That's not all that shocking, I admit, until you learn just what they're going to tax - fuel efficient cars. They won't be taxing the cars themselves, per se. After all, who would buy the ugly Prius if it got taxed more than that much nicer looking - and almost as fuel efficient - Corolla sitting next to it in the dealership's lot? The government would never do anything quite so........gauche... Would they?
Not when they can tax how many miles you drive every year, they wouldn't. That's right, folks - California State Senator, Mark Desaulnier (a democrat), has proposed a tax....on the miles Californians drive...in their more fuel efficient cars, hybrids, or just plain electric cars...that the environmentalists and the government pushed so hard for people to drive...
Why? Well, as in all things having to do with economics, liberals aren't as smart as they profess themselves to be. See, even with California's ridiculously huge gas tax of almost $0.53 a gallon (but it's the greedy oil companies that are price gouging you, don't ya know?), because hybrids and their ilk are becoming more prevalent and using less gas, the state isn't getting as much revenue from their huge tax. Yes, liberals, that's right - if you tax something that people use, they tend to use less of it, which leads to less tax revenue - which in Liberal-Land apparently means new and/or higher taxes are needed.
Well, we certainly can't ask the government to do with less, can we?
It's difficult to understand how - in a state with roughly 30 million registered vehicles - slightly less than one million of these cars could affect their bottom line so much that a new tax is needed.
Liberals never cease to amaze, do they? Their answers to everything they deem problematic always seem to be one of three options, with very little variation:
Option 1: We just haven't spent enough money on that problem/issue. Let's create yet another government agency to do the same things that this "failed" agency couldn't get done. We need to raise taxes.
Option 2: The government hasn't even tried to fix this problem/issue, so we need to create a new government agency to look into creating a different new government agency that can look into the possibility of thinking about launching a study that might bring about the probability that pondering the possible solutions to this problem/issue would actually solve this problem/issue. We need to raise taxes.
Option 3: We need to raise taxes...
On second thought, they really only have the one option, don't they? ~ Hunter
