McNally Jones This came along with my usual spam mail on my Yahoo Email of E.D. cures, horney young girls who want me, someone is still looking for me on reunion.com, and new exciting penis enlargement pill guaranteed to work. Why can't yahoo filter these things?

I have had to call on the Apopka Police Dept a few times over this last month, and I must say they responded within minutes each time I called. An arrest was made each time, and they actually caught 1 criminal by the use of a license plate # and were there at the house waiting for him, before he even got home. Great job by these officers, and a special salute to Officer Garcia, who is always ready to help under any conditions, no matter how big or small the problem is.

Fox if I can't mention that officers name, please delete it ok. If I can, I think it is a well deserved Salute.

I am writing this from the best kept secret in Apopka (according to the Librarian and long time customer of mine) The Apopka Library Orange County Branch! Something to do while my laundry is being done :)

A little different this time. I am devoting this whole thought to how I feel public assistance (mine and your tax money) should be run.

Anyone on public assistance should be required to take a drug test. I mean everyone! From the children in the home to the parents. If you can afford to buy drugs, then you don't need my tax money. Anyone comes up hot, NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!

You cannot be a stay at home parent when you are on public assistance. Working people, the ones that pay these bills, must work and can't be stay at home parents...guess what... so do you! If you don't get a job within the same time limit as unemployment...that's any job, then NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!

If you are silly enough to get pregnant again when you are on public assistance, then it is clearly obvious that you are very irresponsible. Tax payers should not have to pay for your irresponsibility. If you get preggo again when you are already on public assistance, then you won't only receive anymore assistance, but you will LOSE ALL YOUR CURRENT ASSISTANCE! NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!

If you were stupid enough to sleep with an illegal, and you got pregnant, you will receive ZERO assistance! Should you card the person you sleep with? YES! the same way you take precautions to prevent std's, you can check and see if these people you are sleeping with are legal. If they aren't then NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!

Teenagers should receive no assistance...period. If your son gets a girl preggo, or your daughter comes home preggo, then it's your responsibility to deal with it. My tax money should not be used to raise your grandchild because your child is wild. I honestly believe that if these teens realize they won't be getting public assistance - these boys and girls will be a little more careful. This is taking the supporting your preggo teen to the next degree. I don't support teenagers having babies, and I don't want my tax money to either. If your teen gets preggo...guess what...NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!!

Side note. If you support your high-school daughter's pregnance, and go as far as having a baby shower and all, what message are you sending to the others in her school? I think preggo teens and their boys should be removed from school for the length of the pregnancy. Not paraded around like some kind of heroes.

If you have a man living with you while you are getting assistance and don't claim his income, then you should be put in jail. A manditory 5 year sentence. No way should someone on assistance be living better then the families working and paying taxes. Also, all future assistance should be cancelled and for the rest of their lives there will be NO ASSISTANCE FOR YOU!

I don't think there should be anything called earned income credit. A tax return means it's a return on the tax you overpaid into the system throughout the year. How can you get back more then you paid in and call it a return? It's a gosh darn handout. Another reward for people who have children they can't afford. No more "tax returns" above what you paid into the system. Why does my neighbor with 3 kids who stays home, and her husband works at Mickey D's get a $6k tax return and I get $300? They get assistance all year long and then they get what's like a bonus> That's crap.

 

There are more but it's a little busy in here right now and I forgot my notes :(.

In conclusion:

I feel the only people that should get public assistance are those that are working, but aren't being paid enough to survive with. Everyone should be made to work, or then it isn't assistance anymore, then it becomes support. If you give a person a fish, you feed them for a day. If you teach them to fish, you feed the for a lifetime. If their lazy butts won't get off the couch to go fishing, then it's time to cut the cord and say "your on your own kiddo"

How much money do you think we could free up by making these things happen?

Here's 1 more, just to piss you off. I have a feeling there might be to many people agreeing with me on this, so here is your curveball.

I don't want my tax money going to some parapalegic in Ohio, who is never going to give anything back in taxes, so they can live for free with all cool technological gadgets to help them communicate. There are charities and medical insurance for that. I would much rather see that money going to a senior citizen who worked their whole life, and is now trying to survive on $568 a month! Handicapped already get parking. Why should my tax money give them a check every month because they were born with a birth defect? Want to earn money? Become a patient for tests to cure these diseases, instead of sponging off everyone else!

Thanks for reading. See ya next week...for sure...probably right from this library!

 

Over Columbus Day there were a lot of protesters claiming that Columbus didn't discover America. I wonder if these same protesters celebrate Thanksgiving. These same protesters that call Columbus Day a fraud probably have a nice juicy turkey with the family on demand off from work on Thanksgiving.

Isn't Thanksgiving a celebration of how the Indians helped the Pilgrims survive, and their 1st big feast - before the Pilgrims killed the Indians? Those same Pilgrims who landed with Columbus and had slaves with them?

If you protest Columbus Day and celebrate Thanksgiving, you are very hypricritical.

Today I was called an anti-Christian by a person who was debating the bible with me. Maybe I am, but maybe I'm not. I don;t seek out Christians and tell them I think they are wrong, and my views on the bible, but they seek me out and want to talk to me and convert me to their God. This leads to a debate.

I will never back down and just let them talk. I am way to opinionated for that. So, according to this person, that makes me Anti-Christian. I say, if you don't want to hear what I believe is the truth about your religion and the book you so heartily believe in, then don;t just go quoting it and pushing it on others. You never know when you might run into a person like me.

I got off work tonight and it was raining. I have to walk home 2 miles with no shelter lol. Also, when I hit OBT there aren't any sidewalks and I have to walk in the mud. My lady just bought me new shoes for our anniversary, and I really didn't want to do it.

I said damn it, 2 mile walk in the rain. A total stranger said he would give me a ride home. I was shocked. I accepted. We introduced ourselves and he turned out to be a Mexican American. A legal Mexican immigrant. So we started talking about this immigration issue, and he told me just how it is effecting him as a legal American of Mexican descent.

Whenever someone sees him, they right away figure he is illegal. He is a landscaper, with only a few clients. Just enough to keep a roof over him and his families head and food on their table. He speaks English - with an accent - but he is still learning. He has been here 1st with a work visa, and then he bacame a citizen. He met his current wife here, and he has a 3 year old daughter. He assured me this wasn't an anchor child or a wedding to become a citizen. He took the right steps and paid a lot of money to be an American.

He honestly wishes his people wouldn't come here illegally, but he understands why they are doing it. When I explained about the poor in this country, he agreed with me 100%. He also said the Mexican government is so corrupt that if you are poor there is no chance of being rich, or even as well as he is doing now. I said same here, except for Lotto. We both laughed.

He dropped me off at my door, and I thanked him. I wished him luck and said I would write on this. So, although I myself am guilty of this, I guess the next time you see a Mexican working, maybe we shouldn't BLEEP-u-me they are illegal. This is hard to do for me, but after tonight, and my conversation, I am forced to look at it this way.

PS he also said that the reason a lot of Spanish people don't learn English is because they don't have to. Everything here is in both Spanish and English, and there is more teaching of Spanish all around then there is teaching English. I have to agree with that.

The title is misleading. This isn't a blog about the Dems or the primaries or anything else like that. This blog is about YOU. Your loyalty base and your use of common sense.

How, in today's world, can anyone align themselves with a political party when the parties themselves can't agree? This latest fiasco by the Dem's again prove a point I have been saying all along. If you vote down the line for a party, because you feel they will do what You want them to, then my firends - you are mistaken. These parties can't agree on anything down the line, so why should you vote down the line.

I ask you just one thing. In November 2008, please weigh all the candidates on the issues you are concerned about, then cast your vote. Don't worry to much about which party it is, just how each candidate stands on the issues important you to.

The only way we can force bi-partisianship, is to show we are voting on the issues. We have to show that they have misused our party loyalties and abused the system for to long.

Please vote with your head, and not your heart.

Did you expect anything else? It's no wonder the issue kind of calmed down with the council members in each city around Florida. They knew this would happen. They "had a plan". Now the question is.....will it make it back onto the Ballot? I am willing to be my 1st born kippies that it won't. My personal loophole, if it does, I bet it's even less then the origional proposed one and basically favors the rich with the million dollar homes.

After all, don't most of our politicians live in million dollar homes?

No more politics as usual. In November 2008 vote for a change. We need to show these millionaires a thing or 2.

I have a plan to... seems to be a political common phrase for many many years now. I know a 3 years old that has a plan to get his room clean. His mom tells him to clean his room, he tells her he has a plan, then he informs her of how his room will look when his plan is done. What he doesn't say is the details of his plan. A day later after the mother cleans his room she finds out her 3 year olds plan was to hold out and let her do it for him. He was doing nothing. When she was done cleaning, it looked exactly as he described it to her the day before.

We need to not accept the I Have A Plan theory anymore. When a politician says he/she has a plan, lets ask what that plan is. Let's quiz that politician on his/her plan, and then put it under a microscope on our 50 news channels to see if it would work BEFORE we accept that this politician is looking out for our best interest.

I think we need a new political party in the US. Republican Democrat and Independent really doesn't do it for me. I think we need a Common Sense Party. Our animal can be a Giraffe and our symbol can be a picture of Thomas Payne. Our slogan can be Keep It Simple.

As smart as our lawmakers are, it always seems like whenever they make a law, there are tons of loopholes in it. Plus they never just make it simple.

Last night I was talking with a woman who declared herself a liberal about immigration. European 2nd generation woman. She started telling me that I don't know all the facts about the illegals and I should do some reading on the issue. She said when people are poor and starving they will run to where they can eat. I said they do that illegally. There is no intention for them to become citizens here. Some have been here for years and never once applied for citizenship. I said what about the poor and starving in this country. Should we allow them to become criminals and look the other way?

she said these people aren't criminals. I said as soon as they crossed that border illegally, they are ciminals. They are breaking the immigration laws of this country. She again said I need to read about the subject. These people are here doing a job that Americans won't do. I said that's crap. Americans will do any job, they just want a fair wage to do it. She said no they won't. I said name 1 job an American won't do, and she said pick up crap. I said I did that before and I would do it again for the right money.

She came back with Americans want everythng cheaper and want to make big money. I said thats what capitalism is. Just because we want it cheaper doesn't mean we wont buy it when the price goes up. I said have you stopped drinking milk? Should we put thousands of Americans out of work and bring in more illegals to work on our dairy farms? Non tax paying illegals who are clogging up our medical facilities and never paying a dime? She said thats not true. I said yes it is. Illegals don't pay taxes, they can't, but yet all our facilities that our tax money or health care costs are wide open to them.

We went on and on about this for a few minutes. She said I needed to read more, I said she needed to stop watching Bill Mayer, and start looking at the facts. I ended with this 1 thing. If you come into this country illegally, you are a criminal. What is the difference between these people robbing the gov't and American people of tax money, then me not paying taxes at all. I'll tell you the difference, I will be sent to jail for it, while liberals like you protect these criminals. Adios.

Recently nothing I've blogged has made the community page. Nothing. Not even the my thoughts that were posted for 17 consectutive weeks. I have been trying to dig deeper to see when all of this came about.

I can trace it back to that preacher from myfaithorlando who was from the 7th doomsday church. Ever since I called him out as to his real purpose of starting his blog, not 1 of my blogs have made it to the community pages.

Is this a punishment from Fox? Have my blogs become uninteresting? The same entertainment blogs have been up there for over a week, and I've written 3 since then. Not 1 posted on the pages. Fox would rather you read the same stuff over and over then post new stuff.

Well, I'm a stubborn man. I don't care if I am put on the community pages, although I am curious as to the sudden short stop. I don't get run off that easy. I am here until you kick me off, and then I will collect unemblogment for my time here.

Thanks to everyone who continues to search through the written blogs that aren't posted, leaving comments and even chatting with me on myspace about them. I will continue to do the same with yours. Also if you haven't created a myspace account yet, you really should. It gives another medium to add to our discussions. Can you imagin being in a private chat room for Fox bloggers and listening and putting in your input as me, North, Arcy and Frank discuss religion? I think it would be pretty amazing to have without censorship, and the time delays in the post. Just constant chat.

Well anyway. I'm hear, I enjoy reading all your blogs, although I too don't comment on most that I read, and I again thank you for reading mine.

Being a parent is more then just giving your child everything you never had, and taking their backs no matter what they do.

The most important aspect of being a parent (in my opinion) is teaching lessons your children will use throughout their life. The ability to handle defeat. The ability to understand the word no, and even more importantly, to repect other adults.

So many parents no days throw a blind eye on their childrens actions and blame the adults as to why their child was rude, nasty and mean to them. Well you shouldn't have gotten involved, you shouldn't have spoken to them like you did etc etc...

That's crap. A teenager should be made to respect their elders, not run to their Moomy crying a sob story and have their mom defend them, even though they said to this adult screw you or other nasty comments.

I know when I was a kid, no matter what happened, if I was nasty to an adult I was wrong. No reason or excuse I could give as to why I did what I did could get me out of being wrong for disrespecting an adult. Now the kid just has to say stuff like, I was having a bad day - fighting with my boyfriend and then he started on me boohoohoo. That's why I was mean mommy I'm sorry.

An apology to the adult sounds like this, I was having a fight with my friend and then you said blah blah which caused me to be mean to you. I'm sorry. Crap that isn't an apology that's an excuse for bad behavior. There is no acceptable reason for disrespect from a teen to an adult. The apology should be more like, I shouldn't have said what I said or acted like I acted, I'm sorry.

Then you talk to the parents of the child and they are telling you that their child is a good child and you shouldn't have done what you did. What shouldn't I have done? Chased your kid from the front of my lawn because he is pulling it out from the roots? Tell her to wait her turn in line, or stop screaming throughout the store?

These parents think they are good parents with good kids. In reality, they aren't. They are at the aid of their child right or wrong. That's not a good parent, because eventually someone will have to show them that their mommy's can't get them out of everything. Usually it ends up being the police. It is just as important to teach your child that when they are wrong, they are wrong and have to face up to it. That the world doesn't revolve around them only, and that they should respect their elders as well as protect them.

just a thought.

The Boy Scouts were selling popcorn outside of my store yest and I saw something that disturbed me. There was a woman dressed in BOYscout gear in charge of them. A woman in the boy scouts? Didn't seem right so I started asking people about it.

Most said they didn't mind. Some men said they had den mothers when they were in the boyscouts. Well, when I was a scout, I didn't - but I grew up when men were men, and boys were boys.

So I started asking about how these people would feel if a man was in charge of girl scouts. I found out that the only function a man can have with the girl scouts is to drop their daughters off. Nothing else!

At first I was thinking it was because of the sexual predators out there, but then I remembered the latest sexual predator, that female school teacher arrested for having sex with three different teenage boys ages 14 and 15.

Now this is a double standard, and I am forced to ask myself a few tough questions. First, where are the father's? Second, if the mom is a single parent and wants to be involved with her son's scouting that's fine, but why can't a single father have the same opportunity with his daughter?

I remember boyscouts were where men and boys got together to do guy things. I learned how to burp the alphabet in the scouts, do you think a den mother will allow the boys to do that now? I guess they can get their cooking and sewing merit badges from them so when they grow up and get married, then divorced they can live on their own.

So remember when your daughter brings home her boyfriend and he starts to cry because he is overwhelmed from emotion just meeting you, ask him if he was a scout with a den mother.

When you hear a noise in you house and you wake up your husband to check it out, don't be suprised if he says he isn't going to check out anything, that's a man's job that. He had a den mother and they just taught him to be sensitive and not a man.

I am going to apply to be a DenDad at the girlscout troups. I wonder what will happen.

Why don't we just combine the 2 and call them unisex scouts? We can then get cookies and popcorn. It won't really effect the boy scouts, since they are already unisexed with den mothers, but I bet the girlscouts would be po'd.

I wonder if this would be such a big issue if the 12 million illegals in this country were Canadians? Do you think Geraldo would be fighting for them? Do you think we would make our signs in French? or would we just round them up, deport them and threaten the Canadian Government to enforce the laws?
