Rock’s Rantings!

These are my personal opinions

A friend of mine sent me this video of comments John McCain made.  He is correct today we are all Georgians.

Russia’s decision to violate international law and invade a much smaller and weaker national is sickening.

Georgia has been an ally of the United States and had its troops serving alongside ours in Iraq.

This brutal attack should not stand.  the United States should provide the Georgian people with all of the military and humanitarian support it wants and when this conflict is over the United States should rearm the Georgian military and stand beside it as it struggles against the ever growing Russian menace to democracy and freedom.

Freedom is not free and the United States must stand with the nations that have stood by our side!

Take a look at these comments from John McCain.  i could not agree more with his statement!!

I found this blog post of great interest and wanted to share it with my followers.

This past week, 15,677 signatures were filed with the North Dakota Secretary of State’s office for the Income Tax Cut Inititiave. Sponsored by the North Dakota chapter of Americans for Prosperity, the initiative, if certified for the November ballot, would slash North Dakota’s state corporate income tax rates by 15 percent and the individual income tax rates by 50 percent starting in 2009.

Apparently, North Dakota exepcts a budget surplus of anywhere between $700 million to $1 billion next year, so supporters of the initiative are looking for both tax relief and restrained government spending during these “sunny days.” Smart!

But the AARP is opposing the measure because “it would hamper state and local governments’ and school boards’ ability to respond to emergencies or shifting priorities in the future.” The North Dakota Farm Bureau is also opposing the measure citing “worries that it would place the burden of spending on increased property taxes.” Now maybe North Dakota should start a government “rainy day fund” that is concomitant with this tax cut, but it’s amazing what poor excuses are made to not cut taxes. (But I invite any North Dakotans to explain why voting Yes on this inititiave would be a bad idea.)

I know that many fellow Conservatives are depressed about our chances this election cycle but I urge you to watch this video and it will hearken you back to a time when America turned to my hero Ronald Reagan during dark times.

I am proud to say that I grew up during the Reagan years. I was touched and moved when I saw him give a speech in Rapid City, SD in 1986.

It is always darkest before the dawn. America was said to be destined to the trash heap of history under President Jimmy Carter but one man’s vision: one man’s hope for the future and his unlimited faith in the American people shined through and helped lead America towards becoming the shining city on the hill.

Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister of Great Britain while Reagan was President of the United States and our nation had no greater ally or friend.

Watch once again this eulogy of Reagan by Thatcher. I know that when I am depressed and afraid that I cannot continue the fight I watch these images and listen to these words.

I am still learning how to embed items so i am sorry for the crudeness

Well long time no talk LOL.

I am sorry for that but work has kept me pretty much snowed under. In a nutshell I have found the level of incompetence at United to now be rivaled by the incompetence of Northwest. Well there is not much more I can do about the abuses the American airline passenger endures in the air.

Anyone know of a good site to list complaints?

I am sitting at the local Barnes and Noble going over a horrible day in my head. I am completely head over heels in love with my girlfriend. We had the most amazing trip to DC last week.

We toured the White House, ate sushi, did a nighttime tour of the capital and fell in love all over again.

She is the most amazing woman that I have ever met in my life. She is my best friend.

Sorry to be going on but you ever have a day where you feel as if your holding on by just the tip of your fingers? I have them every once and awhile.

I just wanted to drop you guys a note and tell you I was still alive. Expect many more posts as I try to get each of you to shift just a little bit more to the right politically and embrace liberty and capitalism.
