What Ever Happened to the First Amendment?

Posted in America, Biden, Corruption, Election, Joe Biden, McCain, Obama, Political, Politics, Thought, Thoughts with tags , , , , , , , , , on September 17, 2009 by Josh Leone

Before I get to deep into anything, let’s rewind to 2006, where Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi held a town hall meeting. Click on the link to view the events that took place. (Reminder – president in office = George Bush)  >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3vauUPUAa0 <<

Since I know only a very small percentage of people who will even read this article won’t take the time to click and/or watch the link, here is a quick recap of the video. Ms. Pelosi is speaking to a group of anti-war protestors who you can clearly see are passionate about voicing there opinions about what they believe. In fact some people in the video actually get angry and shout and wave their arms around while Nancy Pelosi is trying to speak. Does Ms. Pelosi get angry? Nope, in fact she the whole time she is speaking to this group, she is telling them how great it is as Americans to exercise your first amendment and question the government. In fact, she goes as far as telling the crowd that she “loves the disruptors” and “love the fact they want change.”

So far, all in all, I agree with what Pelosi is saying. It is great to live in a country in which you can…and should…question your government. My problem with this corrupted politician is the double standard that she, and many other Democrats in our government use. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Click on the next link (Reminder – President in office = Barack “the messiah” Obama )  >> http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-pelosi-hoyer-health11-2009aug11,0,3211297.story <<

Now once again I’m sure many people won’t take the time to read the article, so recap…

Fast-forward 3 years to another town hall meeting were Ms. Pelosi is speaking to a group of Health-Reform protestors who you can clearly see are passionate about voicing there opinions about what they believe. The problem here is instead of agreeing with and “loving” the disruptors, she speaks of these people as “Un-American.”

Which brings me to the reason I’m writing this note…

In three…say it with me now…THREE short years, Nancy Pelosi has went from being all about the First Amendment (props to her) to attacking people for doing what she (at one point) was such a great, heroic thing. My question is, what’s different, what made her change her opinions of these heroic “disruptors”?  Hm….think Josh, think….what could it be?……Oh that’s right, We have a different president. Of course, I can’t believe that slipped my mind. But what I still don’t get is how now that a Democrat is in office, Republicans are no longer allowed to exercise there First Amendment rights anymore, as the Democrats did with President Bush in office.

People, look up these facts and TRY to prove me wrong. During the Bush years, people EVERYWHERE enjoyed mocking, sneering at, booing during his speeches, portraying him as a Nazi, protesting against, etc. Did these people have a right to do that? OF COURSE THEY DID. THAT’S THE BEAUTY OF THIS FREE AND GREAT COUNTRY. And though MANY people acted on their right to voice their opinion, now that we changed presidents, non-supports of Obama’s liberal agenda are being depicted as EVIL and UN-AMERICAN.  Isn’t it funny how when the Democrats did it to President Bush, no one in the government lashed out at these people? Because honestly, they had no right lash out at them. Politicians should accept that criticism is part of the job, and that is why you didn’t find anyone bashing or be-littling people who opposed President Bush. (now don’t get me wrong, I’m not talking about just people or news commentators here….I’m talking about “Professional” Politicians).

Then why is that we (as Republicans and some Blue-Dog Democrats) who oppose President Obama are getting singled out, slandered, accused, and be-littled, BY THOSE ONCE VOCAL DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE!?

Don’t believe still? On top of Pelosi’s “Un-American” comment, Harry Reid (Democrat Majority Leader in Congress) expressed his view on us (the people who oppose hthhe Health-care reform) as Evil Mongers. I’m sorry…what was that, an evil monger? No sir, just because I don’t believe everything Obama says is true, DOESN’T make we evil.

How about all of the latest RACIST talk? I can’t even begin to list the amount of people (speaking of politicians) who have called us racist. According to former president Jimmy Carter (AND MANY MANY MANY OTHERS), all this uprising against Obama’s policies is strictly based on racism. Well let me just make one thing clear. First, let me say, I don’t rule out the racist thing completely, for I understand that there are still close minded people out there who hate black people. HOWEVER….FOR THE MOST PART, people are rising up against Obama BECAUSE THEY CARE ABOUT WHAT IS GONG TO HAPPEN TO THEM, NOT BECAUSE HE’S BLACK. As someone who attended the National Taxpayer’s March On Washington in September 12, 2009, I didn’t see anyone being racist. What I saw was 1.5 MILLION PEOPLE gathering PEACEFULLY, but trying to make the point clear that they do NOT support President Obama’s policies. However, according to the liberals…we were all there because we hate blacks. Well guess what…I do dislike Mr. Obama very much. But I dislike him because I think his policies are going to cripple this country beyond repair….NOT BECAUSE HE’S BLACK! I can give two craps what color he is….he could be Orange and Purple for all I care, it isn’t going to change my beliefs.

So please, next time any one wants to accuse me of something because I don’t agree with Obama…please think about the double standard here, and make sure you feel real proud of yourself.  What’s fair for one should be fair for another. So with that being said, I come to my conclusion…

I WILL GIVE YOUR PRESIDENT THE SAME REPECT YOU GAVE MINE!

I’m Josh Leone, telling you America, speak the truth, and never back dow

Obama’s Dissapointments (Part 1)

Posted in America, Biden, Corruption, Inauguration, Joe Biden, Obama, Political, Politics, Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on January 19, 2009 by Josh Leone

So for the record, the last political post that I wrote on facebook was a a letter to Mr. Obama, telling him that America has spoken and I would respect him as my new president…and give him a a chance before I start harassing him again. And since then I’ve remained quiet amidst the corruption that has alreasy surrounded the Obama adimnistration even though they havent even started yet. (i.e Illinois governor wanting to SELL Obama’s senate seat….. Obama’s pick for secretary of commerce under federal investigation then resigns….Obama’s pick as SECRETARY of the Treasury is in trouble for tax evasion and owes $34,000 in back taxes).

BUT ANYWAYS….the reason for THIS note is the amount of spending that is being done for Mr. Obama’s Inaugural party. The latest figures have it at $160 MILLION. Lets put this amount in retrospect ok? President Bush’s last inauguration cost about $42 Million and even worst President Clinton’s was about $33 Million!

OK so 33 is < 42 is way < 160

Lets not forget that one thing…what was it?….o ya people are losing jobs left and right because we’re in the biggest recession since the Great Depression. So why not spend $160 million on yourself right? WRONG! What happened to spreading the wealth? Oh ya this party comes after you and your family went on a vacation to one of the Most Expensive resorts …. IN THE WORLD. Don’t you think you spent enough on yourself?

So in conclusion….whether you are an Obama supporter or not…i find this to be quite a disappointment. I mean if I was him with the economy the way it is….I would do the bare minimum and put that money toward some of these NEW BAILOUTS that are being proposed instead of using the tax payers money for the bailouts. But who am I right?

Well thank you very much Pres Obama, Remember… keep spreading the wealth…unless it’s your own!

Obama’s Dilema – Part. 1 (Obama, Biden helped keep Bridge to Nowhere)

Posted in Biden, Election, Joe Biden, McCain, Obama, Political, Politics with tags , , , , , , , on September 25, 2008 by Josh Leone
Although Democratic vice presidential Joe Biden routinely mocks his Republican counterpart, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, for her onetime support of the infamous “Bridge to Nowhere,” Biden and his running mate voted to keep the project alive TWICE.
                                
             ”Psst…Holy crap Joe, they’re starting to catch onto us”

Yes Both of them voted to keep the project alive…not once, but twice!

What’s even worse is that the two voted to kill a Senate amendment that would have diverted federal funding for the bridge to repair a Louisiana span badly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, Senate records show.

Both Obama and Biden voted for the final transportation bill that included the $223 million earmark for the Alaska project.

An amendment offered by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, would have stripped the money appropriated to connect the Alaskan coastal city of Ketchikan to its airport on sparsely populated Gravina Island and diverted the money to Louisiana when it needed it most…AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA!

But Biden and Obama and 80 of their colleagues rejected the measure, an amendment to a massive 2005 transportation bill that funded thousands of projects across the country.

“That is probably the most disturbing element of this and the campaigning on the Bridge to Nowhere,” said Bill Allison of the Sunlight Foundation, a taxpayer watchdog group. “Because, yes, they had a chance to vote SPECIFICALLY AGAINST the Bridge to Nowhere in Alaska to redirect the money to people, to bridges and infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina going in to New Orleans, and they chose not to.”

PERSONALLY…I find this quite amusing other than suprising. This isnt the first time that Obama has critisized his opponent about doing or not doing something before letting the public know that he HIMSELF did/didnt do THE SAME FREAKING THING. hahahahaha

Drug Tests for Welfare?…Good Idea!

Posted in Family, Politics, Public Assistance, Thought, Thoughts, Welfare on January 27, 2008 by Josh Leone

Here is an email I received this weekend and I would like to share it.

Just so you know, I think this sums up my thoughts on the welfare system itself…I DO NOT think that this pertains to everyone. This goes out to the jerks that rip off the Welfare system and give it a bad name.

>>>Urine Test

(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGE pat on the back!)

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don’t have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their lazy butts, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

No Religion…Just a Relationship

Posted in Family, God, Jesus, Philosophy, Religion, Thought on January 24, 2008 by Josh Leone

These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.

~Matthew 15:8-9

What!? It may sound funny but God does not like religion. In fact he thinks it hinders one’s walk with him. Religion is not what God seeks…It is that personal relationship with him. You see, in Heaven there isn’t going to be separate sections where all the Baptists go, and another section for the Catholics, and so on. All that there is going to be is a large group of people who truly hope put off their cover of religion and decided to have a deep relationship with God. The reason why Religion is not the way is because it actually gets in the way and takes the place of God. People get so caught up in being a specific religion instead of the actual meaning behind it. Prayers become more of a scripted habit instead of coming from the heart. Going to church becomes a chore just because you “have to go” because it’s Sunday. God desires to have a relationship with us no matter what day of the week it is. Just going through the motions and being “religious” is not what God is looking for. Going to church week after week and giving lip service to God means nothing if we are not living the way He wants us to live. You don’t have to believe me, but you should believe what the Bible says. Take another glance at the scripture above and think about what it really means.

Something to chew on.

The sad thing is that this probably ISN’T a joke.

What the Huck?

Posted in Election, Huckabee, Political, Politics on December 17, 2007 by Josh Leone

 

huckabee.jpg So I Early on, before ANYBODY even heard of the guy, I had my eye on Mike Huckabee. However lately, the guy seems to be EVERYWHERE. In fact in the past 2 months, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee went from the bottom of the barrel in terms of the Republican candidates, to only 2.3% behind Rudy Guliani in the national polls. The thing that sucks though is as follows: Before his “rise to fame” Mr. Huckabee seemed to be the perfect guy to become the next president. He was sincere with his words and regardless of whether you agreed with his thoughts or not…You can tell he was just a simple man, that deeply meant EVERYTHING he said. What else could you want besides a average normal guy in charge instead of some dollar pushing, big timing, politician. However what disappoints me though is that it seems that with his newly found fame and surging in the polls, that sincereness is fading and he’s becoming like just another politician a little more everyday. I mean i still like the guy, and I hope that I am wrong, but I guess the only way TO get anywhere in politics is to become a politician instead of a 100% straight-forward honest guy.
