We as Americans face a grave danger. What could be so grave you ask? The federal government wants to run a portion or all of our medical insurance and management. President Obama is pushing for it and people in this country actually think it is a good idea. I am not going to write 10,000 words as to why we should not do this. I am going to give you just a few items to consider.
-People in Canada drive to our country to pay out of pocket for services.
-People in the UK have a slight problem. The government demands that no one stay in the waiting room for more than four hours. Because of socialized medicine, you instead wait in the ambulance outside the hospital to circumvent that issue.
-Every single person in this country is able to get help if they show up at the emergency room.
Just think about these three items. Do yourself a favor and do some research. Learn what this is really about and write your representatives in the senate and house. Do not allow this mistake to occur.

RANTS
I just want to catch up a few items that have been on my mind in the past few days.
It is quite apparent that Kobe and the Lakers are going to win the NBA finals. They are just a more complete team and Lamar Odem has come to play. What is amusing is Kobe and his antics. He has said over and over that winning a title without the aid of Shaq is not important to him. That is all well and good but he knows and we all know and he knows we know that he wants it real bad without Shaq. There is nothing wrong with that. He is working harder and becoming a better leader with each game. However the “Kobe Face” is out of control. He has been so conscious his whole career of how the media views him and he desire to give a signature look or pose. Since day one he has mimicked Jordan. Someone must have told him that it is time to be his own man. Because of this he has abandoned his Jordan want to be antics and moved to the “Kobe Face”. It will be just a few short years before we mock this look.

Speaking of basketball and laughing at the expense of others. ….Have you had a chance to see the Memphis basketball program as of late? We are up to two players (Rose and Dozier) with suspect SAT scores and the brother of Rose not paying for a couple of rides he took on the chartered plane. At this point Coach Cal has yet to be accused of any wrong doing. Memo to Kentucky: Good luck with that dirtbag! The greatness of the internet did grant us this gem in honor of Cal’s work. A nice video and song set to the RHCP.
Finally we got good news from our President this week. He finally found a country we do not have to apologize to after any action. He did not apologize to Germany or the Nazis for WWII. After his repeated apologizing to the world and certain religious groups, I fully expected him to apologize to the Germans over the whole WWII mess at the D-Day ceremonies last week. Well played POB!

Young Con Anthem
I ran across this You Tube video via Fox News. It is called the "Young Con Anthem" and I like it. On any other day of the week you can pencil me in for the last guy to watch a rap video. Yet, these young men sing to my heart. Take a quick minute and check it out, I am sure you will be happy you did.
Lyrics:
Serious C:
“Yo this ones for all the young conservatives.
I rep the Northeast and I’m still a young con,
Let your voice release, you don't have to be obamatrons.
I debate any poser who don't shoot straight,
Government spending needs to deflate,
Your ideas are lightweight,
Ya careers in checkmate
I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate
I hate when,
government dictatin, makin, statements, bout how to be a merchant,
How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement
Bailout a business, but can't protect an infant
Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment
I stand one man, outnumbered at my college
Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage
Can't support abortion, and call yourself a Christian
I support life, you're a puzzled politician
Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,
Now they're in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday
No such thing as utopia,
no government can control ya, baby ya,
Reap the benefits hard work, self reliant
Listen to Stiltz, my dude’s a lyrical giant
Yo Stiltz... make it two time... please”
Stiltz:
“I'm 6'9 head and shoulder above the rest
Liberals playin checkers, I'm playin chess
My conservative view is drill baby drill
You can say you hate me but
I'm praying for you still
My dislike for thee most def is not hyperbole
Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally
I'm just livin life a conservative philosophy
Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy
We need more women with intellectual integrity
I'm talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi
My main motto is you best work hard
It's not the hand you were given, but how you lay down your cards
I don't speak lies but I spit the facts
28% the new capital gains tax
Porkulus bill lacks a few stats
The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack
The Bible says we're a people under God,
Usin radar for radical Jihad
AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd
A classy gift ain't an Ipod
The standards of my crew ain’t republicans dude
I'm reppin Jesus Christ and conservative views
Study history and true conservative moves
Every single time they refuse to lose
I’m starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter
When really nothin but a Reagan era starter”
Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun
Everyone can succeed
Because our soldiers bleed, for us
I said it in the verse,
now I'll say it in the chorus”
Stiltz:
“We young conservatives son
Hard work is our motto
The movement has begun
EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily
My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”
Serious C:
“Phase me, make me, into something that ain’t me
Serious c... can’t nobody shake me
great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne
Don't matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim
There's one thing we all hate, called socialism.
It's loathsome, and America ain’t the outcome,
Raise taxes on the people,
And you’re gonna feel symptoms, problems
I gotta message for a young con:
superman that socialism,
waterboard that terrorism”
Stiltz:
“I fulfill the role that's inherently mine
Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme
I'm signing off this track with a question in mind
How will this country get its precious change in time?
Three things taught me conservative love:
Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged
Saving our nation from inflation devastation
On my hands and my knees praying for salvation”
Serious C:
“Yo, We americans son
Hit ya with some knowledge
The movement has begun

Sad Day
I knew that our country’s leaders have been teaching us to hate ourselves. But the story on Foxnews.com http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522659,00.html shocked me more than I could ever believe.
A woman in Texas was told to remove the American flag in her office because it was offending people. What in the name of Mrs. Ross is wrong with this country when this happens? Oh, it gets much worse. She walked into the office and it was rolled up lying on the GROUND!
I know our leaders have been running around the world apologizing. They have told us and anyone that would listen that we are/were wrong on several items. Yet I never thought we would all buy it enough to drop to this level. We are so ashamed of our own faces that we can’t even honor the men and women that have died to protect this great country (sorry, I should say once great country).
The story does have a happy ending. The company was shamed into letting the woman replace the flag. She has indicated she will continue to fly it as long as she is employed with the company.

Memorial Day Weekend
It is finally Memorial day weekend. Everyone is happy and ready for their favorite beer and BBQ. This time of year everyone is excited about the pool opening and the official start to summer. Do me a favor this year. Go ahead and do all of that stuff. Along with that do me one more thing. Make sure you remember what the weekend is about and honoring our servicemen. My brother in law has a great tradition. Every year he sits his children down and explain to them what this weekend is about. Do it ot your kids or someone that might not kinow.

Morgan's Team BBQ
A quick thanks to everyone that made the BBQ a success last night. We raised over $1,800 this year. More than last year on a down economy is quite impressive. I believe everyone had a good time, we look forward to it again next year.
In preparing for the BBQ this week, I came home early one day to mow the lawn. When I mow I have the most random thoughts running through my head. I just get off on some strange subject and I end up thinking about the bathroom issues of early American history. Well on this day I got to thinking about the South. You know that place where everyone is attracted to their cousins. The place that people think is a good place, but once they get there, they realize that most of the inhabitants can’t read past a sixth grade level. What got me really thinking is how in the last 70’s and early 80’s our country was amused by it. Why was that and at what point did we decide to ignore it. The television programming and even movie fawned over the South. We had Dallas, Dukes of Hazard, Smokey and the Bandit and on and on. For some reason this country was amused by cowboy hats, what I would consider less than stellar control of the English language, poor WT etc. Why were we interested in the South? What was so good about all of these people and their strange lifestyles. I guess is says something about our society when we can evolve and move past things.
Speaking of moving past things. I guess the Catholic church is kind of over the whole abortion thing. I see that President Obama spoke today on campus for graduation at Notre Dame. I have to wonder why they would let a man that voted 3 times that it is ok to kill a baby once born in a botched abortion. Yes, you read it correctly. He voted that if an abortion somehow allowed the baby to be born, alive, then the doctor can end the baby’s life right there.

America's Decaying Moral Fiber
I have had enough. After another wonderful day at work, I have had enough! I have three accounts since last Friday that have shown me little to no loyalty. The account on Friday upsets me about as much as any of them. I saved the SOB $80,000 in the past three years. He left me for a competitor that was less than 10% of my price. Now I know 10% in this economy is quite a bit of money. I would agree 100%. However, the cost of this coverage is spread amongst 100 other people. We are talking a few dollars to do the right thing in a business relationship. Today I had another instance of lack of respect and loyalty. I am currently fighting on another one.
My little story is not mean to beg the masses for pity. It was just another example of the downfall of our society. This leadership of this great country, our leaders of business, even the clergy live their collective lives with less and less commitment to do the right thing. How can we ask the man next to us, our children, or even other countries to do what is right? It is time for each and every one of us to step up and do the little things to continue the greatness of this country. Do me a favor and just live tomorrow the way that you would if your grandma was watching you.
