Ok I got the intro out of the way so let’s talk Bob Barr. Why does he get the highest rating of an F? He is a Libertarian. He is for reducing the government. He is for common sense and he has answers. If you don’t know about Bob Barr then you need to get to know him. You need to read his views and start comparing to what is being offered in our two mainstream parties currently. I don’t see change in Obama’s glitzy DNC, and I don’t see common sense in McCain’s approach. I have been researching, listening, talking, and trying to develop a plan of action for my vote in November. This is it folks. Americans really need to start doing some more research.

I can’t believe the media isn’t picking this guy up. He would stir things up and bust this wide open and show America we actually have a viable option. He is for setting term limits in all of government, he is for control of our national debt, and he is for taking real action in repairing America. I haven’t found anything I didn’t like this far but I am no fool and I won’t stop looking till I find the flaw. Look, the guy even has a moustache. That in itself is a bit bad ass.

So I know the ole saying “You are throwing your vote away not voting for Dems or Republicans”. Am I really? Perhaps I am sending a message with my vote saying I am one American that didn’t like either. Remember Ross Perot? He grabbed 20% of the American votes which was huge. I would love to see it creep even higher for a new third party. After seeing Obama’s huge party and the money spent on it I am certain that a party willing to blow money on an obvious announcement will continue to destroy our budget. Why have an acceptance speech for something he obviously wasn’t going to turn down? We will save that for another blog though.

If you want to send a message to the politician system and get a great candidate at the same time then please check Barr out. Other than just liking what he brings to the table I have no affiliation or am I part of his party. I want real change and smaller government. This seems like the ticket to be on for just that. It’s been a long time since we had a moustache in office and I think Bob Barr is the one to bring it in. I mean honestly when most of our issues stem from foriegn policy nothing says you mean business than a solid stache.

When gas prices first started to rise his cost was .1 cent higher and I understand he was a full service station. Then as the prices kept growing and growing he removed the penny and set his prices to the same as the self service stations here in town. We had 4 gas stations in our small town all self service but his. Now we have 3 self service only.

I have seen over the past 2 years several small businesses close in our town and a few larger ones. But I have to admit I was pretty shocked at the closing of this gas station they had been in business for over 50 years. So one less station and 6 more unemployed.

Perhaps our leaders have forgotten about real issues, perhaps they have forgotten about what makes America run, or perhaps they only care about their personal agendas. They get big thumbs down for not getting things done, and I mean real things. If they want to get their numbers up then they need to start talking about real politics. They need to start focusing about domestic issues and less on the war. The military is fighting the war and we don’t need our congressional arm to fight it from their chambers.

The war isn’t going to end till Iraq and other places can stand on their own. The economy is not going to fix itself with a $1,200 check from the government for each family. The housing market isn’t going to recoup with a government buyout plan. These folks we have elected need to stop wasting time and focus on real issues they can impact. They have it all wrong with global warming, carbon credits, interviewing big oil, and everything else. They could be less focused than they are today.

The biggest problem is with today’s internet and media coverage the American people are actually taking notice of the lack of work our wonderful representatives are actually doing. Most Americans I have come into contact with generally feel as if that whole section of government is nothing but a waste. They earmark the hell out of us, take extraordinary vacations, fly all over the world to shake hands with people they have no intention helping, and yet still give themselves large salaries and never ending retirement. To be honest the more I talk about their perks, the more I am thinking about running for a position so I better quit while I am ahead.

All in all I frankly believe even 12% is higher than what it really is. In 30 years of my life those pollsters haven’t called me. So who are they calling? I think America is down a long and wrong road that we will have trouble coming back from. We are looking at some of the worst possible candidates in American history, and no savior in the horizon. We are in some dark days of our history and it’s only started.

With that said I come to Adam’s World and vent about things my way! The REAL way I feel and not a cleaned up version of how I feel.
If I want to say shit or damn and maybe even $4.19 for a gallon of gas this just sucks…I can! Because it is true and that is exactly how I feel!
If I want to say why should I vote? Popular vote don’t count for shit! That is how I feel!
If I want to say my favorite TV show is “Hell’s Kitchen” I can even if Ramsey says the “F” word!

If I say something you don’t like. Then comment on it that’s what it’s there for. If you don’t want to comment on Adam’s World then don’t bitch about what I say or write!
If you write something I don’t like or I disagree with I will comment. Hell I am an adult and I know everyone has his or her own views.

I write how I feel about something, I do not get vulgar, and I do not use the “F” word. I do not have to back up my views with facts! I rant and rave and release my stress! That’s why I like Adam’s World.

I walked that store 2 times looking. Finally I go to the front desk where can I find a American flag or flag kit? I was told to check stationary. I said NO I am looking for an actual flag, pole and line you know that type thing. I was told I don’t think we carry those you might try back at home and garden? Well I had been to home and garden 2 times already and did not want to go a third time. So I just said “Well hell of course you don’t carry them your a Super Walmart. You had to get rid of the American flag, sheets, towels, curtains, rugs, 1/2 of your clothing, to make room for your grocery section!”

And speaking of grocery section have you ever tried shopping for groceries at Walmart. Maybe it’s just me or just our Super Walmart but I do not like having to walk to the other side of the entire store to get cat food, I do not like waiting in long lines with ice cream in my cart can’t they take out some more items we all need and make a check out for grocery only? Maybe I am just set in my ways of how I used to shop for food. When the vinegar was where it should be instead of in a place it takes you an hour to find. Or when the I want to treat my niece to some home made chicken and noodles and the chicken broth might as well be hidden up some chickens ass.

And if you have to follow a special diet GOOD LUCK! If you have to have sugar free they carry one (1) low sugar cereal, 1 sugar free pudding, 1 sugar free ice cream. And if you want onions trust me grow your own! I guess you get my point! But hell they sale beer and wine so you can buy a ton of that to drown away the anger of just how SUPER Walmart really is!

Welcome to 2008! I am so excited and looking forward to what 2009 will bring!

Everything CA brings to the table is either liberal or gay with almost little to blend itself into the rest of America. Don’t get me wrong, not everyone in CA is gay, but there is enough on TV, magazines, stereotypes, and in the news to make you think that the state will bend so much more till it’s a complete circle. It’s hard to believe this was even a court hearing at all and not just a few phones calls to say,”Ya, I’m fine with that.” I mean the surprise was to the point of being equal to Iowa calling me to tell me they are going to start farming corn. Either way I have no hog in this fight and take the stance that I wish a lot more men would get together so there’s less competition on the home front. It’s only the bi-sexuals I have a problem. Take a position and stick with it. I hate people that tetter totter.

As a man that pays another woman after divorce I do look forward to seeing one man pay alimony to another man or woman to woman. I do look forward to reading about judgments in divorce. I just think it’s nonsense to have these issues. I would rather see tax laws rewritten and health coverage for families change that see states change the way the human equipment is suppose to work. So to our politicians I thank you for being so stubborn that rather change the way we operate you would rather change the way people operate. The only thing now that California can do to make headline news in my book is to start digging a ditch around itself and pushing off to start a new country.

Is this anti-gay? No it’s not. It’s a different way to look at it as many Americans sit and read yahoo news thinking the same thing. I guess for me personally I am just tired of the “coming out of the closet speeches”, the crying becuase you know who you really are, the Will and Graces of America, and the in your face parades. If you want to be gay then do it, but really I am good without knowing or caring about it. You will never be remembered for being gay by myself and many Americans. I will never call it the alternative lifestyle, or the same-sex couple living down the road. You don’t see other states showboating nearly as much on subjects that don’t matter. This makes me wonder if they will even have to build a fence along that southern border now.

To the Californians that might see my point in all of this I thank you for having such an open mind to entertain this straight guys takes on the news that you received today. For those that won your right to marry good for you but please spare me the news, stories, blogs, and crying of how happy you are.

Think of all the Spider-Man movie antagonists. You have the Green Goblin, a tortured soul. He wants to do what’s right, but that damned formula is forcing him to be evil. You have Doctor Octopus, tormented by the loss of his true love; manipulated by his tentacles. You also have The Sandman. He killed Peter Parker’s uncle and you’re still not allowed to hate him, because he has a sick kid. So, why should we root for Spider-Man, when there’s no pure evil to balance out the pure good? Another question you have to ask yourself is this, why aren’t we allowed to hate these guys?

The villain should be the unsympathetic embodiment of all the ills that plague our time. Iron Man was dead-on in this aspect. You have a greedy, anything-for-profit, capitalist, providing terrorists with weapons. You hate everything about him and want him to be destroyed. It’s a declaration that popular culture recognizes these traits to be repugnant. In a time with outrageous gas prices and oil companies making record profits, it’s our way of saying, “You have us in your clutches at the moment, but history will hold you in the same regard as slave merchants and robber barons.”

There’s another reason a truly evil villain resonates so strongly with me, personally. I developed my moral foundation from comic books. I didn’t get my introduction to good vs. evil from religion or philosophy. These things are above a child’s head. All I needed to know was Superman fought the bad guys and I wanna’ be like Superman. Of course, I learned of the varying degrees of grey, as I got older, but there’s something comforting in seeing a real asshole being defeated. It’s an affirmation that my initial beliefs still hold true and the Universe has balanced itself out, yet again. It’s also profoundly refreshing to see that some unredeemable jerk has been held accountable for his actions.

I say, bring on the dicks. Give us someone to hate. Although, taking jabs at the untouchables is no ground-breaking maneuver, at least it’s not cowardly. From a movie-goers perspective, it’s refreshing to see that a few people still have a little bit of backbone. After all, it makes the hero’s victory all the sweeter.

So I am agnostic, and I found this revelation stunning that it would make even the Today Show with the off-beat and queer conversational pieces they provide metro America. I just wanted to drop everything and call the Pope and ask if everything was OK. I mean is it possible they found another book in the Bible where one of the Apostles were abducted, but sent back with an old wooden anal probe in his ass? This would be huge to have the Bible slightly bigger with an intriguing story like this! Go right from Psalms to Aliens? I bet if they threw this into that luscious book of stories it would go for some serious dollars (mostly because of the weakened dollar). I am actually surprised someone hasn’t come up with something to juice the Bible up to get profits going. I don’t think to date that book has made much money actually. If someone just stepped up to the plate like Lil Jon or Jessica Simpson and added like 26mm rims to it or a book on Sean Jean or maybe the Tomb of Maybelline that thing would really take off.

Ok enough about the off topic stuff. Let’s get onto the relevancy of church announcements like this. Honestly, did someone out there need this and finally when they heard the news just felt the weight of the world lifted off their shoulders? Did someone riding the subway in downtown Manhattan just shit themselves in excitement that they could come out of the closest about loving aliens? This is one of the most ridiculous news items in months. Maybe I am missing the point of it all and some of you find people will help enlighten me. Last time I checked I have a life and the freedom to believe in what I want to in the 21st century. Are there still people wandering around like robots saying, “Shhh, don’t let the Pope hear that!” This is ludicrous that someone would need to hear something like its OK to believe in life from other planets. I mean you already believe in something that doesn’t exist so at least so at least you fair the same odds as believing in something that most likely exist in the stars.

The difference between aliens and God is more people have possibly seen aliens than God unless God is referenced as a figment of life altering events. I agree that thousands of years ago this would have been something huge and needed to be announced on a global level today, but honestly after homosexuals appeared in society in droves and everyone embraced them I could care less about whatever else you might have to surprise me with. This world has no taboo for us anymore, and for the most part we can thank the porn industry for that. This is just not edgy stuff anymore and the church should just do what they do best, keep predicting the wrong date for the end of the world and pray. (And you guys thought I would say the kid joke)

So as I go down to the office to pay my $20 (I get a discount becuase of my military connection) and I am obviously swearing and disgusted. Let’s look at it. What is my money paying for? Sales tax is to pay for things like road work. My property taxes, income taxes, and every other tax we pay and fees for this and that and they have to charge me $20 for nothing. I don’t receive anything, not even a coupon book. I own my vehicle, I pay for gas, I pay my insurance, I do everything. So why do i need to pay for the stupid sticker that goes on my license plate?

This is an obvious gouging of my government on it’s citizens. Is this how they prove they need to hire people? Do they make bogus offices and positions to keep people working? If so then this is obvious bullshit. There is no reason I should have to give $20 a year just receive a sticker for my car. They don’t look at it, they don’t test my driving skills, and they offer no service, taskings, or anything that would warrant money from me. At least property taxes go to schools. It actually serves a purpose.

If I wasn’t military I would have to pay in the upwards of $70 per year for my one vehicle. Tell me this is necessary? So becuase I am military (which I am thankful for) I can have a deep discount? This means they don’t really need it that bad. Georgia is a wonderful state that it needs to not only seek money for nothing, but tax the hell out of people owning businesses and just living here.

Now the flip side of this policy is the time of year you have to do this. It’s my birthday for God’s sake! I should be getting $20. I should pull up and say hello and receive a Happy Birthday and a $20 bill. On my birthday I should have to be forced to pay anyone anything. Why don’t they have everyone do it on the anniversary when no one could care less. On your anniversary (this mostly pertains to males) we don’t mind spending money for nothing. We are expected to do this anyways so what’s slipping another $20 into the evening? In fact i could send my wife down to pay it while I lye around my house doing nothing.

Ahh, to you license plate office I salute you this year with one finger. I will allow you to guess it (consider it YOUR early birthday present)
