I saw where the Republicans (I mean thieves) have resorted to stealing and destroying political signs to favor their side.

Well, they took my Obama sign last night! I have another. I'm setting up a motion detecting camera tonight! If I catch them, I will prosecute to the fullest!

You can tell the Republicans are getting desperate, to stoop to this level!

I was watching a news clip of Sarah Palin giving a speech the other day when all of a sudden, I heard her say it.
"NEW-CUE-LURE"

Good Gawd People!! Nuclear is pronounced NEW-CLEAR!~

I will not be able to tolerate four more years of illiterate new conferences! Ill intended promises and, straight-up lies!

Can I get a witness over here?

I've not been known to speak out too positively about cops. (due to a lifetime of negative experiences)

Well, my faith in local police work has been somewhat restored.

While away jamming at Ozzfest in Dallas Tx. my house was burglarized.

A couple local crack heads staked my house out, seeing that it was empty, pushed in a window unit air conditioner and helped themselves to my wifes jewelry and my son's video games etc.

My wife didn't even want to call the cops and make report, "It's gone they'll never find anything" she said. I said "Bull!" at least make a report. I'm glad we did! A local detective did some police work and had suspects within 24 hrs. Most of our belongings have already been returned. Some we may never see. At least we may get some kind of restitution and the thieves are going to jail!

We're all experiencing nightmares now. Peace of mind be hard to find for a while.

Today's poll question asks if we could do without t.v.,..well I've been forced to!

Here's what I think of Charter!

That is the link to my blog about my television ordeals!

I've been harassed by Dish Network! I've been scammed by Direct T.V.! Now Charter has scammed me to the point,..I have NO t.v.! It's been weird not watching t.v. for the last couple weeks! I miss a couple shows. Mostly it just gets boring with nothing to occupy the slow periods of the day!

So, I'm trying to make it through life without television! The great wonder of the computer gives me the opportunity to watch the shows I do really want to see! I am caught up on Jericho! The wife is caught up on House! (it takes a while to load the programs, but it sure is better than paying them other scam artists!

This is a copy of the letter I sent to the Charter contact us e-mail they have printed on the bill. After TWO weeks I finally got a reply saying, sorry for the problem, please call this number! I'm not going through that again! I got the new e-mail from the FOX news story the other day for the SteveGm @Charter guy! Guess what? That e-mail doesn't even work!

The Letter,..

A few weeks ago, one of your people called me and insisted because I was a valued customer, and for always paying on time, Charter was offering me this deal. First, I would receive the digital box, then I get some free movies for 3 months. All at a $5.00 discount. After the 3 months, I keep the box, lose the movies, my price goes back to where it was. He also said I could record shows I miss, and would receive "video on demand" (which he explained all the details of)

The other day I get a bill for double the usual amount. I called 1-888-getcharter yesterday, to get an explanation. After 20  minutes of prompts, and talking to Tom, ( I believe that's what he said his name was ) he hung up on me, instead of switching me to care service, customer service, whatever! Before he hung up on me he said I didn't have the package I was told I was getting.??

So, I'm not going through that again! I'll do my communicating through here!

If I don't get a civil, non-condescending explanation of my bill, you will, not only lose this so-called, "valued customer"! I will not pay what I owe, and your box will be destroyed! Just ask Dish Network and my local Direct t.v. installer! Not to mention, Attorney General Jay Nixon and the Better Business Bureau, we're practically on speed-dial with each other! I have ZERO tolerance for your scams!

Sincerely, Douglas K. Glasgow

P.S.
These people are crooks, nothing more! They don't want good customers! If I never pay late charges or re-connect fees,  that's not good enough!

I say, NO, to cloned food!

How come the FDA doesn't have to tell us our food is coming from cloned animals? Is there any way we can make them tell us? Personally, I've about had it the FDA anyway! They're not looking out for our best interest! Some things they approve too soon, (Vioxx, Celebrex etc.) Other things don't get the same equal chance. (marijuana for example)

From what I heard, the cloned animals are much more unhealthy and only live about half the normal life span! That's enough to give it more testing! Or at least a warning label for the consumer!

I don't want a tomato spliced with a Salmon! So, it's a meatier tomato, but has no flavor!

I'm so sick of the politics that control what I put into my body! Who is it, that is saying what I want?

I'm watching Lou Dobbs this evening and he did a story called" English Only".

Our government is suing The Salvation Army because they fired some workers that refused to learn English! (which they gave their employees a year to do so)

The government is also trying to pass a bill giving employers the right to demand their employees to speak English at work. Which I think the employers should have the right to do! They dig into ours lives and bodies enough already, why not require one language at work?

The factory where my wife works. I've brought it up before but,  it's getting worse. She was trained by a NON English speaking person on the first machine she ran. Often, she has to train people using sign language. ( with little luck sometimes )

Another problem she has to deal with is sexual harassment. They have strict sexual harassment conduct codes there, but don't enforce them. (especially if the offender is Mexican) After many times of her fending them off, they still use the excuse, they didn't know, or understand the rules. So, they get extra chances to break the law and harass her! They know she's married but they blow kisses at her, goose her ribs, or tickle the back of her leg, and ask her out all the time! (I've about reached my end with all that!) She's there to work, not put up with all that!

It's offensive enough that this place openly hires these ILLEGAL people! They don't care if they know the language or not! You have to train and be trained by non-English speaking illegals, mess it up and you're written up! Now, I have to worry about my wife's safety and honor while she works!

By the way, they just laid off 22 American workers there and kept all the illegals!

Merry Christmas everyone!

This is part two of my "Double Standard for Cops"!

How is this anything but murder?

They charge the guy across town, that was no where near the accident, with murder!

The pig that killed those two girls was not only driving excessively, he turned off his camera to hide his actions!
(yeah I said PIG, I'm tired of being Mr.Nice Guy!)

The cops shouldn't have control (manipulation)of their cameras! Then we'd truly know what happens!

Okay, someone please help me understand this.

Why is the man being charged with murdering a cop when the cop ran into the back of a truck, responding to a man-hunt? Sounds like he was driving too fast , not paying attention, and lost control of his vehicle.

We are expecting to maintain control of OUR vehicles at all times. You hit somebody in the rear end, it's almost always going to be your fault.

Then what about the officer that crossed the line and killed those two girls? Is there proof he was cut off? If so, why did he choose to leave his lane and kill the girls, instead of  just letting the other driver hit him? Shouldn't the people in the wreck he was responding to, be charged with the murders?

One instance locally, Mo. Trooper, (W, I call him) was heading into Leasburg and a car passed him going the opposite direction. He said, and I quote, " He didn't like the look in their eyes" So, he was doing a turn around, between two hills, in a dip in the road. Just then a friend of mine and her son came over the hill and hit him! It flipped her blazer over and injured both of them! The local law and news paper got behind the officer and said he was doing a proper, legal u-turn! Whatever! That was a few years ago, she still suffers from back pain!

I don't care what the situation is, you have to proceed in a safe manner! It does no good to get in such a hurry, innocent people pay the price! Too often these days you hear about cops crossing the line, be it threatening to ruin your life with their "power", or driving unsafely and randomly ruining lives!

There needs to better training, and more intense metal screening!

So what! I've been getting profiled all my life for having long, or weird hair! I have NO sympathy! Our system, country for that matter is being destroyed by their invasion!

 

I've had it with China, big businesses, and our government taking the side of profit instead of OUR welfare!

 

It's clear, China's not going to put forth the effort, concerning our safety. Our government doesn't have enough inspectors, won't hire enough inspectors, or they are just THAT corrupt! I need a job! Where do I apply to be an inspector? Or maybe a border patrolmen, no, I don't want to end up in jail like those other two poor souls that were doing their duty!

 

I know it's not going to be easy to, "Boycott" China. It's gotten hard to find a product that isn't from there. Read the fine print, shop at different places, whatever it takes to make a difference.

WE HAVE TO MAKE THE EXTRA EFFORT!

We have to send a signal to China! If "we the people" make this effort, our government won't have to do anything. That way they don't break the trade agreement. Therefore, possibly avoiding a military conflict with them.lol

 

I know to get an American made product we'll have to pay more for the higher wages and quality we get. A spatula may be $7 or &10, instead of .99! But maybe that's what the price should be. We just don't think so because our wages had been so stagnant for so long! An ear of corn maybe should be $3. (just an example) Sounds crazy, but it's probably right.

 

We need to, not only boycott China, we need to boycott the companies that moved there, or sell Chinese products! If these companies can't afford to make it here, ( I'll have to include the U.S. companies and farmers here that employ illegals ) then maybe they shouldn't be in business!

 

I can't make a difference alone. Please help me in this endeavor, for the future of our people! United we stand!

 

I just saw the commercial the Dems. put out, on raising the minimum wage. They're all high-fiving each other. " Yay, we did something"!

 

Big woopdie-dang-deal!

 

It's a day late and a dollar short, if you ask me! How many times has stamps/gas/food, the cost of living went up? We'll never catch up at this rate!

 

The ad. says it will help raise up all Americans. How's that? Now the person that's been working at one of these low paying companies for a couple years is equaled, or surpassed by the new employee! How are they supposed to feel about that? (appreciated??)

 

This was my misconception too! I thought all hourly employees wages would go up when the minimum wage went up! Wrong!

I've had it with the governments explanations/excuses why the gas prices fluctuate as they do!

 How can the price jump .30 per gallon in one day? ( I'm gonna tell my wife to charge .30 more per hour when she goes into work tonight!) Let's see if that works!

I said it would go up just a few days after the 4th of July holiday. They usually hike it up before the holidays! ( I mean holiday travel ) This time the holiday fell in the middle of the week. They couldn't decide which week to raise the prices. ( and it's a patriotic holiday, don't want to angry the voters ) They figure no one will notice, or care as much, being the week after. We're not filling up for that long vacation drive.

 I've heard all the "reasons" why the gas prices drastically fluctuate as they do! Frankly, I don't believe it!!!!!!!!!! I don't believe everything I'm told!

I'm from Missouri! You gotta "Show Me"!

This is your thread  Mid America! Tell me what you think! Don't tell me what the government tells you! I've heard all that before!

 

 

 

 

Instead of running against eachother, splitting the vote, I would love to see them on the same ticket. What a perfect combination. Not only do we get a woman in office, we also break the color barrier. It is SO time for this! It's not for those reasons would I like them both to run. They both seem like such intelegent people. Especially compared to everyone else, on all sides, that we have to chose from.

I would imagine at the moment it was announced that they might win, I betchya a million hater-rednecks would want to shoot themselves in the head. In my mind, at that moment, it would become a brighter day! I've grown so tired of the hate and ignorance.

It's time to evolve America! It is not the world our forefathers thought it would be. So what, as it turns out, our forefathers weren't always right.

And ya' know, that means Bill Clinton would be back in the White House! (as the first man?) I dunno, what would be his title? I've always heard of how the spouse(1st. lady) has always had a big hand in what the President done.

Hmmm, Very Interesting!

Could you believe the Union rep. that was bashing our government for raiding Swift ? How dare he take that stand, and condone such illegal activity. Not only for knowingly hiring illegals, for knowing they're commiting felonies, by possessing false social security cards. The employer and the union should be charged as accessories. Don't tell me they didn't know, I'm not that naive.
{Just a note, they said the wages in their industry has went down 24%) Thanks Union !

That was just one company, imagine all the jobs that would be out there if we would crack down on all of them.


They do the same thing around here.(just not that scale) I mentioned it in my blog, "Thanks Border Patrollman Tim" about what goes on regularly. They get busted, sent back, come back with a new name to the same company.

If we'd crack down on the employers who do this, they'd have no place to come back to.

So, I guess Swift is hiring ? Or, have they all made it back already ?
