Boredom and Politics

Well as I have mentioned I stated in my profile, I am in the National Guard. Right now I am sitting in a hotel room pondering what to do next. I have already worked out in the gym today, ate breakfast, watched a movie and am now posting my second blog. The NH National Guard saw fit to send me to Michigan. I can't tell you specifics, you know, national security and if I did I would have to kill you. Well anyway because of this trip I was introduced to blogging. One of the desk clerks presently has a blog and I will give him some free ad time. Just go to dembinski-vocieofinsanity.blogspot.com to see his blog.

Like I said I am in Michigan and as you might have guessed I am an outgoing social person. I constantly harass the desk staff just to have my fill of intelligent conversation. There is no finding that at the local convenience store, bar, or pub. This trip has been quite uneventful and I have received lots of good military training. I may be going back to The Sand Box. I have learned all about the TWPS and will be learning the LWP (some acronyms for you.) You can google these and find that I am not giving out any government secrets.

As a matter of fact it is surprising what you can find on the Internet. It is no wonder how our enemies know so much about us. You can go to google maps and see what an aerial photo of Selfridge Air National Guard base looks like. With google maps I was able to find my way from Detroit Metr Airport to the hotel and from the hotel right to the building where our classes are being held. And because I could look at that satellite photo I even had a good idea what the building looked like before I got here. The soldier I am travelling with asked me if I had been here before. Nope. Do you think terrorists have figured this out yet?

It seems the Repubs and Dems have come to an agreement on the stimulus package. I have not looked at what is to come of the new one, but if it is anything like the old, where are the new jobs coming from. I think to start we should start fining corporations that outsource jobs to other countries. Here we have millions of Americans out of work yet these "American" Companies send jobs to other places. Countries like India, and Mexico. My question is this, When are you, America going to wake up and not by products or services from these countries? I have given up my satellite provider, Directv and went back to cable because of this. Here in the Detroit area thousands have lost their jobs producing cars. The big three are in turmoil, yet I see foreign cars all over the place. I say this to those who do not buy American, "Out of work, homeless, hungry? Eat your import."

Remember in order to make America great again we as individuals have to become great. I do not mean that we have to do something extraordinary. I mean we have to stop being the same old slothful, I will just let everything play out and see what happens people. We have to become active. We need to be the lobbyists, who do not get paid by big corporations or special interest groups, and tell our congressmen and senators what we want. Too many time those special interest groups get their way because we do not let our voices be heard. All they, the politicians, hear is the voice of the lobbyist down the hall shouting "I will see you at dinner tonight Senator Kennedy." We need to shout and say "get your heads out of your asses, listen to us or we will put you in the unemployment line."
