Tonight at around 8:30 I decided to go to the grocery store for some ground turkey to make some nachos. It was dark outside. I was driving the Cadillac. Thankfully it is slow. While driving up McClintock in the dark some idiot MEXICAN and his family stepped off the MEDIAN in the middle of the block between the street lights and I did not see him until it was almost too late. I had to slam on the brakes and lock up the wheels coming completely to a stop to keep from killing him and his family. Two little kids and a fat wife. I get to say fat because right now I am pretty fat myself and yes that pisses me off too!! He is very lucky that I was not in a hurry and driving below the speed limit because the Caddy does not stop like the Vette and with that big grill and sporty air damn I would have managed to hit all four of them had I not got stopped. The big dumbass just stood in front of me shouting at me in his native language, which might as well be our native language because we are slowly giving our country to them, and flipping me off. Never mind that it scared the living shit right out of me!!! Just imagine the nightmare of running down a child because their dumbass parent has pulled them out into the street in front of a moving vehicle. They slowly walked across the rest of the street and went on their merry way. My evening only gets better from here. I chose to go to Albertsons because it is the closest store to my house. I am either insane, or a REALLY slow learner because I basically hate that store. It smells like an combination of old grease, dead fish, and fried chicken. EVERYDAY, NO MATTER WHAT TIME YOU GO THERE!!! I also know that going there after 8 pm ensures that there will be only one checkout open and this Albertsons is so backward that they don't have a self checkout lane. I pick up my ground turkey and head to the checkout and I think I am lucky as hell because the woman in front of me is already almost done. She only has a half a dozen items and just as I walk up the cashier gives her the total. Well guess what!! She opens a ziplock bag full of change and dumps it out on the counter. Of course that is only half of the story now I am VERY pissed off because she is about 350# and Mexican. I say Mexican and not Hispanic, because the last time I looked there was no such country as Hispania, and I am pretty sure that they call me Gringo, or that asshole from America. After enduring what seemed to be like 20 minutes while the cashier counted out the change he tells her she doesn't have enough. Guess what happens next. Her 3.5' tall daughter has to translate for her that she doesn't have enough, then they have to have this conversation about what item to take back. At this point I show the cashier that my Ground Turkey cost $3.99 hand him a $5.00 bill tell him to put the change in the Humane Society box and walk out the door. Thankfully he understands and doesn't try and stop me.
Now I am sorry if this has offended some of you and I am sure it will. Especially if you don't live here in AZ, but you have no idea how much our everyday lives are affected by illegal immigrants here. I don't know that they were illegal, but it's pretty hard to think otherwise when they have no respect for our laws or the common sense to respect our society here in America.
I don't have any issue with people of ethnic decent. I have friends from all over the world. All ethnicity's, Part of the reason I haven't been to Europe is because I don't know any foreign language besides the German that I learned in High School and I don't want to look anymore like a dumb American than I already will. I will go when I understand enough languages, and can afford a good translating device and can enjoy it and I promise you I will travel and treat the locals with the respect that they and the customs of their countries deserve.
I'm sorry I think it's time to close our borders completely until we get our own country under control.

The Unbearable truth.
First of all let me say if your not honest enough to read this post with an open mind stop now. Those of you who really know me know that I may make a lot of noise from time to time, but basically I am a very open minded individual. I try to make informed honest decisions based on my understanding of the realities at hand. Recently a few things are really pissing me off and so I am going to expound on them a little.
The Presidential race. First of all frankly we are stuck with TWO candidates that will not be good for the country. As I see it you will have to chose between the lesser of two evils. My choice obviously is Romney, not because I am a Republican, but because I believe that at least he likes America. I worked for a company that was purchased by Bain Capitol and divested while Romney was CEO and I can say with out a doubt he didn't have a clue what goes on with the day to day operations of Bain Capitol, and if he did, he wouldn't care anyway. Bain Capitol buys and sells companies, re-organizes, and divests the investments it makes exploiting the tax and business laws as they are written here in the United States. They are in the business to make money for their shareholders. That my friends is not Romney's fault, but the fault of all of the elected officials who have manipulated the laws to that end. The last I heard it was not illegal to run a business and make a profit. How businesses are allowed to do that is based upon our current laws and if you don't like that then it's time to elect a group of people who are going to change that.
I don't care what his views are on same sex marriage. Time and again the opinion is expressed by presidential candidates and it has no effect on my life. The gay community has yet to provide a respectfully organized movement to work toward marriage equality and until it does, all the marching and whining and voting for a particular candidate who gives lip service to the issue is just a waste of time and it pisses off the people who are against it.As far as Obama repealing the Don't ask Don't tell law with regard to sexual orientation while serving in the military. Big deal. We all know that there are more men and women serving in the military that are gay, than have come forward and admitted it. I absolutely believe that those fantastic individuals that serve in the armed forces don't care what sex you are sleeping with. They want to know that you will serve to the best of your ability and have their back when it counts. In the military, above all else while serving to protect our way of life and provide security for our country and other countries who are unable to protect themselves. Sexual orientation has no place. Just watch the movie A Few Good Men, and at the very end after the verdict is read and one of the privates questions the verdict, the other one explains they serve to protect those who can't protect themselves and they failed that duty. When it comes to abortion, guess what, I don't have a uterus and I don't believe that those who don't have one, should be involved in this argument. Leave it up to the women, they bear children, let them fight amongst themselves and figure this out.
I support Romney for one reason and one reason only. I believe that he supports the American Way of life. Our rights, Our beliefs, Our laws. Our right to make choices in our own lives. It's our job to elect a group of congressmen and senators who will fight for our beliefs as well, and that my friends we fail to do in every single election.
As far as Obama is concerned. He scares me. I have read COUNTLESS articles that he has written, his books and some of the speeches that he has made throughout his career. Frankly. I don't believe that he respects or believes in the American way of life. One of the things that distresses me the most is some of the people who support him are among the most intelligent people that I know. With truly noble and respectable beliefs that are good for America, and they attach their support to someone who blatantly gives lip service to their causes so that he can win votes. They are smarter than that, they deserve better than that, and so does the American people. Frankly I think he embarrasses the United States as much as George Bush ever did.
I am a small business owner. Yes I chose this life and I am proud that I did. I am intelligent enough to know that it was going to be a struggle to start a new business in this economy. Electing Obama threatens my way of life more than electing Romney does. We have a bill of rights that provides us with the OPPORTUNITY to live as we choose. The OPPORTUNITY it is up to us to make the best of it, and to protect that bill of rights. Obama's basic beliefs circumvent this bill of rights.
One thing I hope all of you remember. If I count you as one of my friends, and allow you to become one of my friends, I respect your beliefs regardless of what they are, you are my friend because I value you as a person, not because of your political beliefs or your sexual orientation, what nationality you are or the color of your skin.I do not take our differences to a personal level. You are my friend because I like you and respect you. Just the way you are.
