I've lived in Mtn Home since 1989, so that's...hold on...I'm thinking...WOW! Exactly 25 years! Boy, I think I can almost declare myself an Idahoan. But my family is British and I grew up in Louisiana around lots of other Brits so I still think I'm a little bit of a mutt. Those of you who have been around awhile may remember when I used to blog all the time. My opinions weren't very accepted and there was always an issue because I work for the county. That really wasn't fair because I NEVER blog at work! And I am still entitled to my opinions and thoughts about city and county issues, right? However, it stirred a lot of pots and those pots certainly can make a lot of noise! Since I'm a writer, I took what I wrote in my blog seriously so I spent a lot of time researching things which got exhausting to do when you're not even get a paycheck for it. So I stopped. That was a blessing to many! However, to this day, I still have people stop me and ask me why I wasn't blogging and t! hey missed it. I've missed it. Mainly because there are so many issues that come up and I have no voice except around my friends and I'm sure they are tired of it.

A shiny new car

Posted Friday, February 6, 2009, at 11:55 PM

So the mainstream media is in love with President Obama and he can do no wrong. I am amazed at what he is able to do without a smidge of criticism. If Bush or any other president had done as poorly as this guy has done the first month in office, the press and everybody would be crucifying him. Yet nobody would ever be so bold. I mean, it would be a career-damaging thing if you spoke against the man. Yes, I realize that anyone who speaks against this man will be shunned and ridiculed. I know that I will be viewed as a horrible person for saying anything. I shouldn't worry that I could lose my job for speaking my mind. This is still America, right? I am still under the impression that we are free to express ourselves, right? So on that I stand firm! I will express what I think and hold on fast to the idea that my right to free speech is still my right. Yet, I will admit that I do fear! I do worry as I write this. I never imagined that I would ever fear speaking my mind. This feeling of insecurity is the entire reason that I am making myself write. FEAR! I am more than a little afraid of what is happening and what is going to happen to this nation.

This President and his Clinton recycled peopled are currently putting together a massive plan to put our future so far in debt, it will cause our children to pay half of their income in taxes! Everything that the government is doing brings us closer and closer to changing the face of our democracy. The democrats (most not all) want the people to be taken care of by our elected officials in the disguise of "helping" when in fact it is nothing but a road to dependency. Which leads to bondage!

Obama is not the savior but the vehicle for change. A absolute change in the government of the country that our forefathers gave their lives to protect. He is a charming ineffected puppet that owes his life to the thousands of power-hungry people who put him into office. He is a new president with nice speeches that surrounded himself with Clinton cronies. He talked about change and I realize that he was telling the truth about that. CHANGE is exactly what he is all about though the cronies that are pulling his strings plan the changes to be nothing close to the utopia that they want us to think it is. Actually, I see Obama like this. He is a shiny beautiful car, with all the bells and whistles of seduction with an ancient worn-out engine of rusty parts, frayed belts, black scummy oil, tainted gas and supported with a set of bald tires. I wonder how great the performance of this vehicle will be when the big storm hits. Perhaps those bald tires will send him hydroplaning off the road of hope into a ditch of despair. The minute the storm plows hard rain onto that shiny body and the engine bogs down under the strain of defective parts, that new car will not go very far.

Kim, where in the heck have you been girl! Glad to see you back and I love what you write. It is a shame when a person has to worry about their job or their local elected/appointed officials going on the attack (the need to get "even") for what they have to say---but it does happen and a lot here in Elmore County. However, you cannot be afraid. Fear feeds these people and their cause. Keep up the good work! I agree with you and Ken 100%. No matter what Obabma does...it will always be Little B's fault that things did not work out. Never mind that this mess has been created over more than 20 years. It is always the fault of another. Nice to see you back. Keep up the good work you 2. Take care!

Great to have a new blog to talk about. Thanks Kim! Let Ken know I'll hopefully be out and about so he can sing karaoke with me again.

Now about this shiny new car. I think you're nearly correct..it is a car but not shiny and new. It's the old beater the Democraps have been driving for years. It's just that this time they took it to Maaco and got a cheap paint job to cover all the damage. But once you look inside or lift the hood it's the same ol' junker that's been in their driveway for years. Nothing has changed, still makes the same noise it did be for the cover up. Still stinks and runs like it's on it's last leg. Bet the trunk is still full of garbage too.

But don't let that be a downer, the Republicans car is old too and needs to be replaced. The new car they brought out for the initial show was kept in the garage and not allowed to show what she could truly do. Hopefully the way the Republicans car ran will be a wake up call to let the new car out and run over, around and past the Democraps hunk of crap in the next election!

As a younger conservative, I'm ready for someone who isn't afraid to speak her mind. Someone who will toss the garbage out of Washington no matter what party. I think anyone who's favorite food is moose stew has to be alright. Not to mention she hunts, flies her own plane and thinks there's too many wolves in her state. Hopefully the tree huggers up in Stanley don't get wind of this...they'll be screaming for them to be brought here. At least they would be American wolves as opposed to the Canadian ones they got last time. I'd invite Sarah down here to good old Mountain Home and let her show Bazooka how a lady shoots....lol.

I can here the typing now from Ex and Jerknife. Me speaking about Sarah Palin being on the ballot next time as the President has probably got them both tied in knots. But I'd prefer to vote for someone who would rather **** you off telling the truth than to lie to you just to get elected. Does she have faults, sure, but who doesn't...well except for the two above mentioned liberals.

That's the problem with BHO....he was too perfect. When something is that perfect there has to be a flaw that someone is working over time to hide. Hence the new paint job on the car. But now the paint is starting to flake, no pun intended, and the news media that so adored him is not starting to treat him like any other president. Problem is he gave them everything they wanted so they would report all the good things about him. Now they want the same access and he doesn't have to play that game. He's the president and can't be bothered with them now. When BHO has cue cards and speech writers he's pretty **** good. But off the cuff he has NO CLUE. Seems to be a common thread with liberals. They don't have a coherent opinion that wasn't given to them. They've proven that several times since the inauguration. Not only that, but now when the press "ambush" him with questions in the hallway, he gets belligerent and talks down to them. Like he's scolding children for talking out of turn. As we move on into the rest of these 4 years I'm sure we sill see the true Obama. The one John McCain and Sarah Palin warned us about. But Obama was the Pied Piper leading the rats to their inevitable doom.

I could be wrong but I bet I'm not. Wait and see.

And Bazooka, if I get Sarah down here to go shooting would you wanna go?...lol

My wife told me I could be wrong about the wolves. they could be illegal immigrants from Canada seeking refuge from that socialist country.

I am a very very intuitive person. I took one look at Sarah Palin and I knew that she was going to be someone important. Then after listening to her a few minutes, I knew that my instincts were right. She is everything (as far as I can see and feel)that I want in a leader. She gets it! Not only does she understand exactly what this country needs; she actually tells it to anyone who will listen. She knows that in order to do the right thing, she will have to walk through the valley of dark shadows, fight off the media monsters and keep praying for strength. I love that woman! She is my choice for next election!

And I nominate Kim to run as her Vice-President

Bouncer, I am honored to be nominated. As the day draws near, I will consider my options. I may need a good campaign manager.

Fun to read your blog, Kim.....bazookaman, glad to see you're back...even if it is only under the 'comments'.

-- Posted by outtathere on Tue, Feb 10, 2009, at 3:55 PM
Kim I would be honored to work for two intelligent ladies. And unlike what happened to Sarah the first time around I'll turn you loose like pitbulls in lipstick on the liberals.
