Perpetual OBLIVIAPosted Friday, April 2, 2010, at 8:02 AM
Yes, in this present age of dangerous minds, I have made up my own word. And thank you so much for catching it in my last post. Great eye!
OBLIVIA: Those under the spell of the current government are in a state of oblivia. OB- for OBAMA but I really think that I meant: OB which literally means Gulf of. (Obama Gulf?) and a Gulf is a deep hollow; chasm or abyss or a wide separation; or something that engulfs or swallows up. (you pick which one that fits the best. It all works!) LIV- for Living In Vain-a life that is worthless or ineffectual. Resistance is futile! I: as in me or you. A: for absolute which means interestingly enough, unrestrained or unlimited by a constitution, counterbalancing group, etc., in the exercise of governmental power, esp. when arbitrary or despotic: an absolute monarch. Perpetual struggles are upon us! Perpetual: lasting an indefinitely long time. Let us hope that the majority will not be living in the days of perpetual oblivia!

I've lived in Mtn Home for over 20 years. I love my city and my country. Since I am a writer, my decision to blog here seemed appropriate. I enjoy acting so I've been blessed with the opportunity to work on some independent films and with Prairie Dog Productions and Bogus Creek Ranch. I hope that something I have to write about has some value for others or just amuses someone.
Hot topics Mayfield? Here's my thought.(5 ~ 10:39 AM, Aug 18)

We won't have to if enough determined people are on board in November, and walk into those voting booths and "THROW THESE BUMS OUT!"
The hammer and sickle is not yet flying from the flagpoles. We are STILL the "boss", and we can still HIRE & FIRE!
They'll try to distract us now with a dozen other things, hoping to de-fuse all this anger, but it's important thae we NOT lose focus.
November 2nd, WE can institute the "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!"
It appears your train is ready to depart reality.
Please stand clear of the doors.
Mind the gap.
I wish that was true, Dave. If a "time machine existed", I'd be the first one in it. I'd punch-in "1955" or so...........and leave you "progressives" to your little Utopia here, and go back to a time that actually made sense.
I KNOW, 'cause I was there.
Would that make you a "regressive"?
Yes, it would. But then, I think it would be only natural---------when you find yourself in quicksand, to head BACK toward what you knew to be soild ground.
Some of us though...........would continue to follow the "pied pier of Chicago" right on out to the middle of the swamp.
Good point Bazooka GOOD POINT!
I am with you I prefer "solid ground"
We may disagree, but if we must, let's agree that "regressive" is not synonymous with "retreat".

Well done Madam President of the Moron Squad.
Once again, you have outdone yourself in making youself sound like a complete moron. I am truly sorry, I have the greatest respect for woman, but you need to start wearing your waders, cause you are knee deep in it.
I've got one for ya "IRWMS"
I- Ignorrant
R- Right
W- Wing
M- Moron
S- Squad
Perpetual struggles are upon us! Perpetual: lasting an indefinitely long time. Let us hope that the majority will not be living in the days of perpetual IRWMS!
PS Dave, don't waste your time with the IRWMS...empty minds flock together, and the moron-squad is without rational and intellgent thought.
DUMB,
What a perfect name for you! Seriously, I thought you had already carried your self serving righteous RACIST self back to wherever you came from. Since most of us "in bred white trailer park trash" folks give your children nightmares and all.
Need help with gas? bus fare? or are you waiting for the messiah to pay for that too?
I have come to the conclusion that you have no hope that the Republicans can do any better then the Democrats, that we are heading down the wrong path and never will return again and it will get worse no matter who we vote in as our President :(
Dumb In Idaho:
You could always not read. If you know that the person who writes this blog is a "moron" and that the people who comment on here (which by the way includes you as a person who comments) are "morons" and "IRWMS"----why waste your time boring us with your trash talk and name calling. What are you about 7?
The Republicans CAN do better because they have a TRACK record of it when they've been in the majority.
(notice there have been NO comments from the old "Clinton Crowd)". One of the best economies of our time...........but if you understand how the system WORKS...........you KNOW how all that came to pass.
We had a tremendous economy and plently of surplus when Bill Clinton was President, but not BECAUSE he was President. He's a very intelligent man.........he KNEW good legislation when he saw it. You'd better BELIEVE he put his signature on it.
Yes, it DOES matter who we vote in as president, because whoever he is, whatever party he's from, he has to have SOME degree of experience, but more than that, he has to be a leader. Obama is neither...........nor was McCain, or Bush who preceeded him.
Reagan was able to keep America at the top because he governed from a position of strength and did not hesitate to USE it.
Obama, like Carter before him, is an "appeaser".
The world won't let you be a nice man. You start bowing, apologizing, making concessions, flatter the bad guys while turning your back on what few allies you have left, you come across as WEAK, as the bad guys don't take you seriously. If you raise your voice, nobody thinks you mean it.
Iran and North Korea are BOTH thumbing their noses at us, while Israel (who would normally back US to the hilt), don't trust US now to help out at ALL if THEY get attacked.
We're gonna get HIT again. Holder is harder on the CIA than he is on the GITMO terrorists. The whole world SEES that.
Obama's going to cut back on our nukes, thinking the Russians are going to join him, and he's not even going to UPDATE what we'll have left. Carter did the same thing with Brehznev at SALT II.
Putin HAS to be elated!
We aren't going to retaliate in FULL against any country that isn't armed as well as we are............
We're gonna get HIT again. No better opportunity!
And yet ANOTHER promise broken..........didn't Obama preach forever during his campaign that taxes would not go up for 95% of the middle class?
Well.....how is he going to pay for this debacle they just illegally passed? And now with the IRS set to TAKE the Obamacare premiums out of YOUR refund if need be...........isn't that the same as another tax?
You're right. Marylin............we are DEFINITELY headed down the wrong path, but we can stop this insanity a couple of days after Halloween, and we need to be the biggest nightmare these thieves ever had! And I'm pretty sure we will.
Let's play a game.
Right Winger or Left Winger?
There is only one way safely and legitimately to reduce the cost of national security, and that is to reduce the need for it. And this we are trying to do in negotiations with the Soviet Union. We are not just discussing limits on a further increase of nuclear weapons. We seek, instead, to reduce their number. We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.
And everyone ELSE of course, is going to be on the same sheet of paper with us. Correct?
English "Bobbies" tried that same system for YEARS. They didn't carry guns because they believed, "the criminals won't arm if WE don't."
Allow me to level with you Dave. I have NEVER supported liberalism. Not because it's bad, because I think way down inside, MOST of us would like to live in the peaceful world you guys dream of.
And it's a wonderful utopian dream....no fighting, no crime, everyone getting along. And God bless you guys, it would be BEAUTIFUL.
In a perfect world. This is NOT a perfect world. And liberalism just CANNOT work here unless everyone is 100% on the "same sheet of paper." It's just not do-able on this planet. never WILL be. That's why the "right" has always been against it. Not because it is good........it's because you have to trust way too many "untrustworthy people."
People have been trying to destroy each other since Cain and Abel. It's not going to stop in our lifetime, and we NEED to stay ready.
Few expected Pearl Harbor. NOBODY expected 9/11. Ahmadinejad, Putin, Chavez, the nutjob in North Korea, and others like them..............
Dave, these are NOT men of honor, and to think diplomacy under the "honor system" is going to bring universal peace of mind is fools ploy.
Ain't gonna happen in THIS millenium!
Teddy Roosevelt always said tO "Walk softly and carry a big stick." Ronald Reagan understood that. The Russians understood Reagan and the wall CAME DOWN. After The Iran Hostages and the "Khadaffi visit", the world's bad guys were put on notice to NOT fool with us.
We never threatened anyone, but when you only have a pocketknife, you don't try to attack someone with a big, big shotgun!
I want US to always have that "shotgun." In a distrustful, evil world, it's called PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.
Obama may in fact have his own version of "good intentions" but he's a rookie at this "world game". A kid with a slingshot is not yet old enough to handle real guns. And the people who surround and advise him are not doing him or this country any favors.
The Democratic party USED him. Window dressing to get their foot in the door. They are STILL using him to push through their age-old, foolish, twisted agendas, and as long as they keep the applause coming his way, he still thinks he's steering the ship.
Oh, there's no doubt that many of these goofy ideas ARE his........but they don't mind supporting anything that fits in with their personal and political ambitions.
But Dave...........there is too much at stake here to just "give up YOUR guns." Even if you feel you CAN trust the other guys, if YOU disarm first, the temptation of absolute power is too great for the "other guy" to resist. For them, the iron would never be hotter, when you suddenly found yourself with a decided advantage.
America is a free country because of the will of its people to remain that way. We are NOT, and have NEVER been "bullies", but the mere EXISTENCE of our military might, has been a sobering deterrent to anyone foolish to try anything.
9/11 happened because Bush was weak. Everybody knew it. Had that happened on Reagan's watch, Afghanistan would have been a glowing sheet of glass within the next couple of days. Everybody knew THAT too.
You don't fool with an old man. He has SEEN it, DONE it, been around the block a few times, and you ain't running some "game" up under him. At 70+, he doesn't feel the need to be "PC". He says what he means and means what he says. At 70+, he doesn't care whether he pleases everybody or not. He doesn't have to "impress" ANYBODY.
a 143-day Senator is NOT ready to lead this country, with a bad economy and a WAR going on to boot!
I'm NOT a Bush fan, but in all fairness, Bush was only in office a year when HE "inherited" something too---------------9/11.
How would Obama have handled that? Had America been living in that "un-armed Utopia" that you guys want................9/11 would have only been the opening stages of an all-out INVASION!
As it was, they slammed airplanes into buildings, but you'll notice they have NEVER taken it to the streets...............
A solid testimonial to our Second Amendment.............just one part of the Constitution your party doesn't believe in.
And as long as the rogue governments EXIST out there, Dave, it is SUICIDAL to "reduce our need for national security."
Obama is WRONG to do this, and when he does, we will be more vulnerable than we have ever been. From where he stands, he thinks it's the "correct" thing to do.
Problem is.........he can't SEE from where he stands.
If memory serves me. I think that England tried to do the same thing. Germany was a big force and Chamberlain thought that if he bowed to them and dearmed as well as cut the military, that Hitler would take it in stride and back off. Chamberlain actually thought that showing goodwill and a less violent army it would show how wonderful a country they were. Of course, we all know that his own liberal party wised up and outsed him. Too bad it wasn't in time to save the lives of alot of their people. The only way to make a bully leave you alone is to step up and show that you can beat the crap out of him. Then and only then will you be safe. What a moron anyone is to think that being a whimpy "peacemaker" will bring peace. History teaches us! Why won't we learn?
Henry Ford once said "The further we look back, the further we can see ahead. To me, that makes as much sense NOW as it did THEN.
History is the ONE TRUE THING that cannot be debated by either the left nor the right, because history is something we KNOW has happened. It IS what it IS and cannot be changed.
When you see governments doing the exact same takeovers and threats that OTHER governments did BEFORE, there is no logical reason to believe it'll somehow turn out any diffently.
The advantage WE have is that unlike the German people, WE have historical film and accounts of the attrocities to fall back on and review. The Germans did NOT, and the takeovers were ALL NEW to them.
They SHOULDN'T be to us, and the American people, REGARDLESS of party,should see the handriting, which is now as big as a BILLBOARD, and stand together, left and right both, and DEMAND that our Constitution be FOLLOWED-----the same one the crooks in D.C. all swore an oath to.
WE'RE "paying the bills", and as long as we are, we SHOULD have SOME friggin' SAY about this! If the Dems actually stepped back out of the box and really looked at this, THEY'D be out there marching with US. They're gonna pay for this too, and THEIR jobs aren't safe either now.
There remain some Democrats out there who are still on the "Obama Honeymoon." But wait until they start going into the clinics looking for all this "free" care, and get told that it doesn't start kicking in until 2014......but they're being taxed NOW, and they're being laid off NOW.
They have to TAX us into oblivion first, to get the MONEY for this. That's why the IRS involvement. They're putting a TRIPLE TAX on BEER in a couple of states. They're taxing tanning salons and even dating services. They'll be installing a tax meter on your TOILET before long!
And if left UNCHECKED.........when/if 2014 DOES come around, they'll STILL be broke and they'll STILL want to squeeze more from us, because most of the taxes that were SUPPOSED to go into "Obamacare" will have been squandered on MORE useless crap. The government is NOT going to stop THEIR over-spending, as long as they can keep getting the taxpayers to foot the bill.
Yes, Chamberlain bought the same "bill of goods" from Hitler that Obama is buying from TODAY's enemies. He thinks a handshake and a smile is MUTUAL out there. He thinks it MEANS something to a cut-throat.
We can't get rid of Obama until 2012, Kim, but if we can pull this crooked Congress out from under him in November, the whole country will be better off. If we can take back the House and Senate (which actually looks pretty GOOD right now), we can at LEAST make sure that the only bills that reach Obama's desk are SENSIBLE ones. Just like we did with "Slick Willie."
And if Obama too, gets undue credit for it, that'd be ok. At least the COUNTRY would be functioning as it should.
If all your dreams come true in November what will you all be whinning about next?
Whats the most recent buzz about the bank bail outs?
Have they been paying back?
bazookaman, you posted "Teddy Roosevelt always said tO "Walk softly and carry a big stick." Ronald Reagan understood that. The Russians understood Reagan and the wall CAME DOWN. After The Iran Hostages and the "Khadaffi visit", the world's bad guys were put on notice to NOT fool with us."
Check this out! I believe it begins somewhere around the 31st paragraph.

Hey Dumb, remember one thing...
The person that prays the most for peace is not the politician, nor the peace loving liberals, it is the American Soldier. But until the day peace is at hand and we can lay down our arms, our sons and daughters will continue to fight for the freedoms first won on the fields of Concord and Lexington.
And Iwo Jima
Ad the Phillipines
And Normandy
And Anzio
And Berlin
And Chosin Resevoir
And Iraq, Twice
And Afghanistan
Need I go on?
For Dumb In Idaho...yes.
Thanks OM...good to know there is some common sense in this blog..well besides the writer, you, bazooka...even Dave has a point now and again.
We differ on points of view, but I think Dave knows as WE do, that most decisions that get made in D.C. effect ALL of us.
A Republican, Democrat and Independent all walk into a store. If we buy the same things, we all get charged to same amount of tax.
The property taxes on our homes all go up TOGETHER. Government intrusions and mandates do not separate themselves by partylines, race or gender.
If you don't buy their insurance, the IRS will take from you whether you voted for Obama or McCain.
In some respects, we're all in this together, whether we want to be or not.
Instead of fighting each other, we OUGHT to be taking it to WASHINGTON in one solid voice!
And I ought to be taking advantage of this SECOND nice day within the same week! I don't know how THIS happened here in Elmore, but this would be a prime time to go out a burn a few.
Talk to ya later, Bouncer..........if free speech is still allowed
bazookaman and Kim you should hold a tea party in Carl Miller park this summer. Let your voices be heard beyond this blog site. Get with OM she can help you set it up
MsM:
Funny you should say that! I hope you are well and that the fashion business is treating you well (your home business). Keep it classy gal and take care.
OM
I was serious what I said about having a tea party in Carl Miller Park. If you have that much passion in how our country is being run let your voice be heard in a public setting.
Business is slow which is kind of nice gives me more time to do other things I haven't been able to do. I just finished a superman sweater for a customer and trying to raise money for a friend who fell down the stairs backwards and broke both her arms. She made a living sewing and now she can't sew. I put some stuff on Ebay and any thing that sells I am sending the money to her.
Actually, the more I think about it, we don't really NEED a Tea Party here, or anywhere else in Idaho. Our governor was 1st or 2nd to file a lawsuit against Washington, and the hard majority in this state pretty much have it "together"
Electing Walt Minnick is FURTHER evidence that we vote "consciece", not party---------voting for the PERSON, not the affiliation.
Except for a few of the loons, a tea party HERE would just be "preaching to the choir."
There IS a "Republican impersonator" we DO need to vote out, though. The RINO Tim Corder. Now THERE's a guy our "democrat blogger friends" could support and vote for, and NOT feel the least bit guilty if they DID.
I'm persoally planning to support Marla Lawson, the Independent who is running against him. I had the opportunity to sit in on a committee meeting with her. I like her position on everything but nuke power. (As one who shoots on a regular basis, i believe WIND power is more than sufficient in Idaho!)
I don't like Corder's stand on ANYTHING, and he showed HIS true colors at the GOP convention in Sanpoint nearly 2 years ago. He is NOT one of us.
See Marylin.............? I'm willing to toss out REPUBLICANS too, when they don't represent their people!
Dave............on Reagan's speech, did you also notice that along about paragraph 20, he also submitted a SPENDING FREEZE for the CONGRESS?............even though the economy was GOOD, he didn't want it GETTING OUT OF HAND!
All THESE knuckleheads know how to do is TAX.....SPEND.....and TAX some MORE!
Good find!
Go tea baggers! NOT!
The Coffee Party USA:
The"coffee parties" developeds an alternative to the Tea Party movement. Our mission states that it is based on the underlying principle that the government is "not the enemy of the people, but the expression of our collective will, and that we must participate in the democratic process in order to address the challenges we face as Americans."
A key difference is in our emphasis on the democratic process, on respectful and civil engagement with one another and with our elected officials.
In the current climate, too many Americans are afraid to participate, and find the process itself too alienating, because it is dominated by people with extreme opinions and extreme tactics.
It's hard to speak up when others in the room are screaming. So in the end, we may want some of the same things, but we our hoping our journey getting there will be very,very different.
Hey, Moron Squad, wake up and smell the coffee...
The GOVERNMENT is an "expression of our collective will?"
Dumb. you and your asylum buddies are gonna find out what the "collective will" of the people really IS, this fall.
Enjoy your koolaid and vodka while you can.
But I'm sure you reds will have SOME support. Harry Reid managed to gather about 100 around him at a rally a couple of weeks ago.
Sarah Palin gathered up about 12,000 in REID's HOMETOWN of Searchlight!
You better start knocking on doors and standing on streetcorners, Dumb, and try to spread that "decaf" around!
YOUR "Czars" in D.C. already KNOW they're gonna lose in November, which is why they offered "positions for healthcare votes" when some of these public turncoats get voted OUT.
Yo Bazookaman the majority of those people in searchlight took time from their gambling to see the very ever entertaining Sara. Some little old ladys were interviewed as saying they weren't into politics they just come to see Sara and get her autograph I guess they weren't sure what kind of tea party they were going to HA HA !
People who take the time to get autographs, are usually the SAME ones who VOTE.
I drove all the way to Randleman, N.C. just to see Richard Petty's Museum. As luck had it, he was there, I got his autograph AND a photo with him---------------------I would never have walked across the street to see Earnhart. I'm a Petty fan.
Those "little old ladies" aren't stupid. Many of them have to live on a fixed income, and you'd better BELIEVE they're "interested" to SOME degree in politics. ESPECIALLY what's going on NOW! And they didn't "walk across the street to see Reid".............I think we know whose fans THEY are!
Well of coarse they didn't walk across the street to see Reid they were there to see Sara. However just because they were there doesn't mean they will vote for her.... She's a celebrity :)
I have had some nosy neighbors in my life time doesn't mean they liked me just meant they were curious about me and whats going on at my house.
OK...........I'll give ya that.
But I still say there's gonna be a very rude awakening at the mid-terms for the dems.
Wow, stop the presses...Ted "bazookaman" had a blog of less then 5000 words...I believe the exact total is 20, what a start, but in those 20 little words, the same old "moron-squad" retic...blah, blah, blah. I guess old habits never die.
Go Coffee Party!
Glad you brought that "coffee party up", Dumb.
You liberals better start learning who to trust. The AP (Associated Press)......one of YOUR "in-the-pocket allies", got loose-lipped with a story that Rush reported on just today. He blew your cover!
Seems there is a leftwing plan to infiltrate some of the April 15th tea parties with liberals who are planning to scream racial slurs in front of chosen network cameras, to give the impression that the people's movement really IS just a racial thing.
There are NO levels you reds won't stoop to, are there? Pukes.
How-so-ever, as MOST if not ALL Tea-Partiers ARE radio talkshow listeners, the alerts are getting quickly passed around, so if there ARE any incidents like that, the element of surprise will not only be lost, but credibility gone as well.
As mad as everyone IS right now, I wouldn't want to be the dope that TRIES something like that! He's liable to get stomped into oblivion.
PS..................
The "word-total" in that last post is 23........what'd you do, run out of toes too?
Dumb,
It's not the"coffee party," ya'll are getting your caffeine from Red-Bull.
