Personal Opinions "Our Government"

I believe that we should simply agree to disagree...I don't expect everyone to believe what I believe. I do know that we all have an opinion and the great thing about America is that we have the freedom to have that opinion. I am very against anyone who thinks that their opinion is the only one that matters and that everyone should be like they are or share that same opinion. I don't think you should agree with me, but I also know I am entitled to my own opinion. I get information that is more to one side or the other. Having children in school helps too, because they study the things I like to talk about with them and form my opinions. I believe that we should all be informed.

I pay interest to the issues that are important to me and you pay attention to the issues that are important to you.

I have a few strong opinions and I will share them. If you don't agree, you are welcome to share with me and comment. Remember, always honest, real, respectful and all you.

I think very strongly about the prison system, the justice system etc. Since I suffered for so many years at the hand of my abuser and it all came to a boiling point when he set the house on fire and the kids and I were in it. He got a sentence and spent 9 1/2 yrs. in Texas Prisons.
I will share that timeline another time, on my other blog.
But, I feel very strongly. I think it's wrong that the good people of this world must work and pay money to a government that allows TV, Music, Books, College, Classes, Food, and access to luxuries they shouldn't have. I think if we were harder on them, they wouldn't keep going back to prison over and over. He was only out a year and a half before he went back for theft. So, where is the reform in that? He's back so we can pay taxes to pay the idiots who feed the other idiots. So,that's my opinion on that.

This whole thing with the government. Likes the cig taxes in Texas.

I don't agree with Obama, I keep waiting for him to impress me, and as of yet, he hasn't given me anything to be proud of as of yet....I am open to his ability to impress me, but - I am just disappointed...in him and embarrassed.

After I got to thinking about things, I realized I do feel strongly about certain things.

I don't agree that Bush messed anything up - Clinton did plenty of that before Bush came in, and you can't really shake a finger at the war, when we were attacked by terrorist, I mean, what was he supposed to do? Think about it...no matter what, he'd piss some people off. So, my opinion is that he should have already brought our troops home. But, just as the things happened like the Ft. Hood shootings and the plane bomber. I mean really, should we stop fighting now? I live in Texas, and I am close to Ft. Hood. That hit home. It was Texas this time, not New York - Not another country, it was Texas. So, things changed, Obama had to take charge.

This isn't about him being black, or being anything at all for that matter. But, the past sure doesn't look very good at all. I mean look into his past. Look into his life that was lead, what he stood for at one time and what he seems to pretend to stand for now.

Tax breaks - well, the truth is that the hole this country is in, is not the work of just one president...

Clinton had entirely too much time on his hands and lets hope Obama isn't seduced, but anything can happen. For goodness sakes, Tiger Woods himself has folded to nothing and has been exposed as something horrible.

So, do we really know anyone? No we don't. We only know ourselves...

Have a great night friends -
Until next time - just be yourself!
