Thor’s Hall

Your right to vote has been paid for throughout the last two hundred and thirty two (plus) years by the love, duty, beliefs and sacrifices of those that have gone before us.  From the first colonies on these shores, through the Boston Tea Party, Valley Forge, the crossing of the Delaware, Bunker Hill, Lewis and Clark, Gettysburg, Bull Run, Belleau Woods, Normandy, Guadalcanal, Chosin Resivoir, Khe Sahn, Hue, Saigon, Kuwait, Bagdhad, Kabul, Hindu Kush, and thousands of nameless events and places thoughout our history.

Your opportunity to exercise your voting right in a national election, occurs tomorrow.  Tomorrow will determine the course that this country takes for the next 4, 8, 10, 12 or more years.  What takes place during each governmental cycle is critical and it takes years to ultimately change course if we take a wrong turn.  In the interim, our way of life will be impacted.  Our standing in the world will be impacted.  Sometimes, it is not for the better.  Jimmy Carter took this country down a path that took 12 years to be fully corrected.  Clinton, fortunately, allowed the country to coast and exploited the economic foundation that was laid by Reagan and Bush.  September 11, 2001 put this country on a course that we had been avoiding since the Tehran embassy incident 29 years ago.  Ultimately, we had to confront and deal with that underlying enemy on their terms not ours.

Today we are faced with a very clear cut choice.  To elect a leader who follows the path of Marx and Socialism, or elect a gentlemen who holds true to a set of values that have been the foundation of this country for over 232 years.

Make your choice.  Get to the polling place and vote.  Exercise your right to choose.  Do not fail those who have entrusted us with the fate of this nation.

Below is what I hope is the last, or nearly last flurry of election thoughts.

‘We, here in Ireland, can’t figure out why people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States this year.
You have a lawyer who states he is ‘black’ when it is documented that he is actually both black and white, who has stated that he wants his countrymen to learn to speak Spanish rather than English, who usually doesn’t put his hand over his heart and say the pledge of allegiance or wear the flag of the country he wants to run,who can’t remember if there are 50 or 57 states in his own country, who is married to yet another lawyer who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run.

Now…

On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate ‘Mc’ terminology , married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What in Lord’s name are ye lads thinking over there in the colonies??’

Something else we can look forward to under a President Hussein administration, one full of Hope and Change, a “civilian” paramilitary security force, not hampered by that darn ““posse comitatus”:

Ohhhhh boy, here we go….

(Note to President Senator Obama, we already have a citizen-soldier defense force, it’s called the National Guard.)

As a business owner who employs 120 people, we have resigned ourselves to the fact that Barack Obama may be our next President, and that our taxes and fees will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, we figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in our fees to them of about 8-10%. We will also have to lay off 25 of our employees. This really bothered us as we believe we are family here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what we did.

We strolled thru the parking lot and found twenty Obama bumper stickers on our employees cars. We have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.

We can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.

We our sending this letter to all business owners that we know.

Sincerely

Business Owner

I lifted this whole post from Major Pain at One Marine’s View.  I could not improve on this at all.

If I were President!

If I were President, there would be a few things I would “adjust”. First, all senators would have to re-apply for their jobs. If they didn’t cut the interview process, then perhaps they could get a job training interns or something (senator elections are over). Did I mention the interview would be done in front of Ted Nugent, who has this for doctrine.

High School students, get ready, you’re going into the military…..

for at least two years after graduation. Lord knows you need to grow up and get a “real life” clue, if you survive that then maybe we will talk about college grants and letting you work while you attend classes. Sports would be put back into schools to help teach snot nosed kids about respect, dedication, team and responsibility. Their coach would be the honorable President Eisenhower and “Terry Tate” would be the assistant coach. Teachers would get max pay, but if your ass is sleeping in class the teacher has a new line of credit for disciplining students and can open what ever size can of whoop ass desired on you. If students choose not to cooperate, then the new head of the Dept of Education, Arnold Schwarzenegger would help out. “Get to da chaawper, do it neeow” “If you bleed, you can learn”. He would be augmented and reinforced by a rotating group of UFC cage fighters. The new 2008 education slogan is “Something for something, nothing for nothing”.

One of many concerns is homeland security and boarder control. Thus, we would do away with “boarder control” and upgrade all to become full fledged Texas Rangers and engage a Chuck Norris, “Chuctatorship” law. Simple, you cross our boarder and you’re not suppose to you have to meet chuck. It will be known as the “leave or die policy.” If you want to become a US citizen, then you go thru the proper procedures and add to society, however, if you don’t think you have to contribute to society, see “Ted Nugents link” above.

The Dept of defense will be overseen by John Wayne. Wait, he’s dead right? No, because we cloned his DNA before putting him in the ground and now he will be backing Chuck Norris on the boarder patrol and will be supreme allied Texas Ranger. (Nato falls under that as well).

All prisons will be officially known as “Hard knocks” and will be located in all of our major deserts. No TVs, only 1970s era military cotton tents and cots. No weights, no fun, just hot temps and a lot of manual labor that sucks really bad. Oh ya, it will be tobacco free as well, sorry, not even cigars! ( I have a friend that worked at a cable company that actually received a phone call from a prison regarding their cable outage…..are you shitting me?) Done, no more cable outage problems. While on this topic, if you smart off to a cop, your going to a “Hard knock”, if you try to out run a cop, deal drugs or any of the other things your mom told you not to do …….send a post car cause you are going to the desert.

Speaking of cigars, this BS tax to pay “billy” for doing nothing crap and paying for it by taxing cigars……yip it’s gone. New smoking law in affect immediately, if you don’t like the cigar smoke, don’t go to restaurants that allow smoking. I don’t think we will have any problems in the political field on this one because Marisa Miller will be the new White House spokes woman. Elvis (see DNA reasoning above with John Wayne) will sing most NFL National Anthems. For that matter all of the Fox and ESPN “on the field” female reporters will be mandated to be replaced with Sport Illustrated models. Are the ones we have now really the best out there???? If that doesn’t rest well with you, there is always soccer or Dr Phil to watch. Waaa. Take your ball and go home.

I’m not sure what the hell happened to the good oldUSA

, where we had guys that worked for NASA and made it a personal mission to get our boys to the moon. Those kind of guys were what made us “America

!” The ones that kicked the crap out of the Germans and Japenese during the great World Wars. Where, military guys were heroes back in the 40s and the country wasn’t afraid to go kick the crap out of the Russians or anyone else that wanted a piece of us. Castro, you’re lucky we don’t owncuba

my friend. Muscle cars would be reproduced from the factory stamps, not like these damn match box cars I see now that can fit in my huge gas burning club cab truck. Yes, I don’t mind spending $100 to fill my gigantazilla truck up with gas! No, I will not back off of your bumper just because you car is soo small my headlights pierce your soul. I’m not too sure what generation gap fell out of the spittoon of life and screwed it up, but the whole touch feely care bear days are gone my friend. Regardless who is elected President, McCain, the other guy or someone after that it doesn’t matter because we as Americans can have a say and stand for something. You think you can run a corrupt business and escape penalties if you foreclose? Wrong! If you think you don’t owe your country a civil service or even an honest day of work? Wrong! If you think you can get something for nothing……..bada bing,………Wrong!
