I weep for my children and the future of this nation

November 5th, 2008 by Brock

So many people wanted change.  Guess what?  You got it.

Lord Hussein (I will not call him President Obama since so many people think he’s Christ himself … cult followers …) has been elected, and he wants to own your life.

Spread the wealth?  Create a “national citizen security force?”  Let me touch on both of these subjects (and then some):

First, a national citizen security force.  He either has never heard of police and law enforcement, or he wants a security force similar to that of Saddam Hussein (Oh!  There’s that name again!) and other extreme Middle Eastern leaders.

Spread the wealth?  Yeah, I really want to give this man more of my money.  Wait … it won’t go to him.  It will go to the millions of lazy freeloaders that won’t help themselves.  No thanks, Lord Hussein.

You think the economy is bad now?  Just wait.

My children are now poised to see our great land turn into a socialist nation.  How will they know that by working hard they can provide for their families and themselves?  They’ll work hard, but most of what they earn will go to other people.  Where’s the motivation to keep working hard when you think you’ll have it all handed to someone else?

Tax increases just for the rich?  Think again.  Those of us in the middle class will also be taxed more.  For Democrats, it’s all about creating a larger government.  It’s all about making you rely upon it more so it can control your life.  You need more taxes to make that dictatorsh … er … government grow.

I’m furious tonight.  I’m furious that Americans have decided we’d be better off helping freeloaders.  More taxes on businesses will cause them to fold, causing other entrepreneurs to not want to start one of their own.  That’s the backbone of our American Dream and economy.  More companies will leave, and many areas will dry up because of unemployment.  America will fall just like ancient Rome.  Lord Hussein is counting on that, just like others across the world.

Will my children know what it’s like to have the freedom to speak out?  To own a gun if they desire?  To let their potential and freedom to make their own choices grow beyond their wildest dreams?  I hope so, but I’m willing to bet Lord Hussein will try and change our Constitution so they never do.

Lord Hussein, you WILL not take what I work hard to provide for my family.  You WILL not take my possessions just so some lazy welfare-collecting bum can be waste of humanity.

I’m an Air Force veteran.  I love the military.  This man will do just like Clinton when I was in the service.  He will reduce our armed forces.  He will cut funding because he loathes our men and women in uniform.  Any man who refuses to place his hand upon his heart and honor our national anthem is no American patriot.

It’s Biblical that the end times are coming.  I honestly believe we’ve seen many of those prophecies come true.  I also believe electing Lord Hussein … this false messiah … is putting the final nails in the coffin of America, if not the world.

I’m angry with all the ignorance in this nation, but I’m also faithful that God is in control.  All this is meant to be, and God will protect those who believe in Him.

I have put all of my faith in him.  I sure can’t put any in the citizens of this country.

Black ops, no cream, no sugar…

I’ve been getting a kick out of this guy today.  Call it my inner USAF veteran coming out: Trevor Paglen

He’s tracked down some patches from secret military operations along with some photos of places and things that “do not exist.”

I’ll definitely pick up his book.

Ten years ago…

June 5th, 2008 by Brock

Wow… I just realized what today is. Today is my 10-year anniversary of leaving the U.S. Air Force. I remember like it was yesterday driving away from the Lone Star state with my fist in the air as I headed back to Alabama. I’m so happy I served, but I was thrilled to leave it behind.

Unlike many airmen, I had the wonderful (insert major sarcasm) joy of being stationed for three years at Fort Hood, Texas. Yeah, an Air Force guy stranded with a bunch of Army guys. I never forgave the USAF for that.

It was also 10 years ago when I bought my car. That was my discharge present to myself. I’m still driving it today. Don’t laugh. I haven’t had a car payment in five years. :-)

So, here’s to you, USAF. You were good to me, except for sticking me at that horrible base. Thank you for letting me spend three months in the United Arab Emirates, which I’ll probably never see again. Thank you for putting me through college.

Most of all, thank you for allowing me to serve.

Memorial Day

May 26th, 2008 by Brock

So this is what it feels like to have a holiday off from work! In the television news business, you learn not to believe in holidays since you work almost every bloody one. God bless being a state and higher education employee now! :-)

I slept late this morning, and I’ll be firing up the grill around 11. I can’t wait to grill out again. I spent a good chunk of my afternoon cleaning and prepping it yesterday. Then I went to see the new “Indiana Jones” movie. Loved it!

bp_usaf.jpgAll joking aside, please take time out of your schedule today to remember why we have this holiday. We have lost so many courageous men and women during military battles, and we wouldn’t have our freedom if not for them. I’m an Air Force veteran, but I never fought in a conflict. Thank you to my fellow vets who did.
