Political Bashing

Why do so many people insist on bashing the candidate they do not like or agree with on Facebook with stupid meaningless cartoons?

Come on who really cares what Romney’s underwear look like, will that make him a bad President? So what if when Obama was a boy he ate dog meat?

Why do people insist on lowing themselves by posting this drivel?

If you feel the need to attack the political candidates on Facebook or Google+, post some real facts with data that substantiates your fact and can back up what you post.

Your mindless drivel makes you look like an idiot not the candidate. Leave the political cartoons to the pros, who get paid to do it for a living.

I know with this being a major election year, and Facebook being so popular, that there still will be many nut cases who feel the need to make us read your mindless drivel, well I for one do not want to see it.

Do something productive with your life, there are a lot of things you can do, volunteer to help out the candidate you support.

Things have really changed since I was young (here comes the old fart stuff), I remember when we were taught to respect the President of the US, not see how many ways we could bash him. You do not have to agree with him or his political agenda, but Obama has not broken the law and he does not need to be impeached, is ya stupid?

If your candidate is so good and superior, post the great stuff about them that you support. I bet a lot of the people bashing the candidate they do not agree with, do not fully understand all the positions of the candidate they are supporting.

So wake up America look at every political candidate that is out there and VOTE responsibly!

It takes more then one individual to run our government, and in my opinion I really haven’t seen the majority of our current elected officials really doing what is best for the US. If you really read and following everything the current political infighting is out of control and our government is not really doing very much to support “We the people”!

So folks that is my thought for the day.

As always Rusty loves you!

Are you a better person than you used to be?

I ask this today, because a friend of mine was complaining about how they would like to go back to when they were 18.

I do not want to go back, I was very short-sighted, closed-minded, and I will admit a bit of a racist. No, I did not belong to the KKK or the Aryans, but I did not feel the way I do now.

I am not proud of the way I acted back in those days.

I am happy with myself and my ideals today.

I guess you could say I was reborn in the 80′s I changed my thoughts on a lot of things.

I have changed a lot again in the last couple of years and I really feel for the better.

If you have the desire to become a better person, you have to keep re-evaluating yourself.

I am not saying you have to live your life for others, but think about what you say, who you are, and how you effect other people’s opinions of you. Stop judging other people and judge yourself.

I know I am lot happier as a person, sure my personal life is in disarray, with being unemployed long-term, but that is just a new challenge for me to overcome, and I am confident I will. This experience in my life will help continue to make me a better person.

I know that no matter what happens I will have my wife, my family, and my friends, even though we might not always agree, I value and respect their opinions.

So next time you have a few minutes think about yourself and what you are doing, get deep down inside yourself. Are you really having a positive impact on other people, I try to do my best, I am not perfect, and I have a very long way to go, I doubt I will ever reach that goal, but it is still worth setting it.

Well friends that is all for today

As Always Rusty Loves you!

What is wrong with this picture?

Well just a short post today….

Had a great Mother’s Day, our family came over and I cooked my usual Mother’s Day breakfast/brunch omelets.

The grandkids were also here, and I have a subscription to Time Magazine and I made the mistake of leaving out.

My 5 year old granddaughter, picked it up and asked my wife, “Why is that boy sucking on him Mom’s boob?” Well needless to say that made for an interesting conversation that was not planned for Mother’s Day.

As my wife tried to explain it to her, she kept saying “that is not right, and big kids should not do that.”

Right or wrong the logic a 5 year old says it all to me, it is wrong, and if a woman feels the need to breast feed an older child that should be done in private. I am not against breast feeding your children, and normally I do not object to it in a public situation, as long as it is discreet.

What are your thoughts on this?

But I do have one more thing to say, “Shame on you Time Magazine for using a cover like this just to sell your magazine, I will not be renewing my subscription.”

Also shame on me for leaving it out, I should have put it away knowing my grandchildren were coming to visit.

As always Rusty Loves you!!!

Recent News, and the responses I have read on Gay Marriage

Well as most of you know unless you live under a rock, President Obama announced yesterday his support for gay marriage, and a lot of the responses have been very favorable, and some against, but what really blows me away is the hate and bigotry this is generating.

One questions I have always had is if we allow gay marriage, how does this hurt anyone?

By the way do not quote the bible to me, I have read it more than once, and if you want to quote Leviticus, read it all before you do. If you read all of Leviticus it also tells you that if anyone breaks the rule of not working on the Sabbath we should stone them to death, we as people will no longer allow or accept that practice. But over centuries since the bible was written, we have evolved our mindset on some of the things the bible says, why can’t everyone evolve and accept gay marriage. Oops, for you bible toting thumpers, I used the wrong word “evolve”, so for them I will say we have changed our mindset. We no longer do everything the bible says, because some of it like it or not, some of the ways of handling certain issues were barbaric. I am not telling you to ignore the bible, I am just saying that not everything in it can be used, and accepted in today’s society.

I have a lot of Gay and Lesbian friends and they are some of the nicest and “normal” people you could ever want to be around, or associate with. I put quotes around the word normal , because to me everyone is normal unless what they do causes physical harm to my family and friends, I have never met anyone who is gay that is out to cause physical harm to people.

Years ago I will admit I was not one to accept the Gay lifestyle, there I said it and I admit it! Back in 1981 I worked with an older man who was gay, and had been with his life partner for almost 40 years. His partner ended up getting cancer of the pancreas, my co-worker and friend was not allowed to visit his partner in the ICU when he was dying. Why, because he was not immediate family, and where was his immediate family though all of this? They were not there either, because they had disowned him due to his lifestyle, so he ended up dying alone with out his life partner. This incident had a very profound effect on me, and made me reconsider my thoughts and point of view. Other than the sadness I felt at the time, I am happy that I was able to experience this and change my point of view, as I am a better person now because of it.

I know that there has been some changes in the laws since that incident, and now there are civil unions allowed to help make some changes. Why do we need to have civil unions, just let them get married!

Yesterday, that blowhard idiot Rush Limbaugh stated ” We have arrived to a point where the President of the United States is going to lead a war on traditional marriage”. the only thing that bigoted blowhard knows about marriage is how to dishonor it. I would like to say to Rush, You have had how many wives? Rush you are on your fourth!”

There are others that say allowing gays to marry destroys the sanctity of marriage, How can that be destroying the sanctity of marriage when have so many famous people are marrying again, again, again, and again, I would list the many of the names but you know who they are. Not to mention in the last few years many celebrities getting married and it only lasts for a few hours, to a few months. I personally know a lot of gay couples who have been together for years, too bad they have not been allowed to marry, as they would exceed a lot of heterosexual marriages.

I friend of mine Judy East, posted on Facebook today “Live and Let Love” well said Judy!

As you can tell by my post in my blog today “I SUPPORT GAY MARRIAGE!”

As always, remember Rusty loves you!
