			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not a chance! In the time Perry has been Governor of Texas our school systems have degraded to the point of embarrassment and our economy is in the toilet.</p>
<p>Here in Texas we can&#8217;t seem to manage to pay for our schools yet we pay plenty of taxes and we are 44th in money spent on our schools to begin with and now they are cutting even more. </p>
<p>We are producing a generation of partially illiterate children and in fact we have at least one high school were 30% of the seniors did not graduate this year. That is disgusting!</p>
<p>Perry has done nothing for this state except cause a massive divide down party lines, run the school systems into the ground, take rights away from women with his sonogram law and cause our state&#8217;s economy to have BILLIONS in the way of a deficit.</p>
<p>Perry is also as two faced as they get. He tries to pretend he is for smaller government but acts the opposite. In fact it was his idea to force all little girls to get a HPV immunization shot. This may sound good on face value but it was to be forced on your kids whether you wanted it or not and that is not my America.</p>
<p>BTW. The reason he was pushing this vaccination was not for the good of the kids but for the good of one of his big money campaign contributors who happened to be the manufacturer or the drug. Perry does nothing that is not good for Perry. </p>
<p>If you want to know how he has been in office so long it is easy. Many of my fellow Texans are easily mislead sheep that believe what their preachers say over what common sense states.</p>
<p>So if that all sounds good for the rest of the country as well then yes, Perry for President other than that, hell no! It is bad enough we are stuck with him!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I awoke to the news that the animal named Osama Bin Laden had finally paid the price for his crimes against all of humanity. Here is hoping there is a hell and he is under it.</p>
<p>Well done and thank you to any and all who took part in this effort to eliminate this lowlife. A special well done to the service person that actually double tapped numb-nuts in the skull!</p>
<p>Now after a little more celebration we need to fade this creep into obscurity. As long as we talk about we give him unwarranted power.</p>
<p>This is the last I&#8217;ll say on him&#8230;.</p>
<p>Stay safe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well the short answer is hell no! But we sure do need to revamp the entire system in order to ensure only those truly in need utilize the services as well as keeping it from becoming overly costly to all of us.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know the actual numbers or even if our government actually knows how much we are being ripped off by crooks each year through the misuse of social services but I have seen numbers in the hundreds of millions and some even billions lost each year as per various watchdog sites.</p>
<p>Here in Texas, the republican state government which it really is now since they have a super majority, is doing all that it can to cut social services and right now seem to be doing all they can to make an already mediocre educational system even worse by cutting deep into the school systems causing them to dump huge numbers of teachers and increase classroom sizes. But I digress.</p>
<p>My point is simple. Social services are needed to keep people from suffering when they can be helped and this holds true especially for the children, the elderly and the mentally and physically disabled. We have to do this, it is what makes us human beings and not animals.</p>
<p>The problem is that there will always be scumbags that try to beat the system and this is where some changes could stop that from occurring as much. </p>
<p>Take the welfare system for example. This alone is nothing but a money sinkhole as it currently stands. There is little enforcement and tons of abuse. That system is broken but can be easily fixed. </p>
<p>Each state should create a &#8220;job bank&#8221;. Yes I know that this will compete with temp agencies but they can work deals to get staff from the job bank as well or something or go out of business. It would be a small price to pay to drop our tax bills by billions without screwing over our fellow human beings.</p>
<p>When you go on welfare you would HAVE to go to training in some field so that you can be either temp&#8217;d out to some company, used in service of the state or hired off. In my welfare system &#8230; everyone works, no free rides!</p>
<p>As for the training, we could work deals with various companies in each state to offer training to the job bank workers in various occupations. This benefits the companies by giving them a free look at potential employees and helps us get people working.</p>
<p>Also there is no having children while on welfare. You have to either agree to birth control and not having kids until you can afford them or go it on your own without welfare!</p>
<p>You may be saying but what if they have kids already when they go on welfare, how can they work and train? Easy state run daycare&#8217;s staffed by job bank trained employees or third party companies that hire from the job bank that offers childcare at a reasonable rate for job bank workers until they leave the bank. </p>
<p>Even with the daycare and training costs it would keep people from being on welfare for years if they have to work anyway they might as well go find a better paying job instead of leeching off of us and in the long run save tons of money. </p>
<p>Welfare should be a hand up not a hand out!</p>
<p>I got rambling so long here I&#8217;ll have to come back to rant about the other social services later in another part of this series which will now be at least 2 parts <img src='http://www.getselfprotection.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Be safe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know it is sad that we have let things get so out of control in our country. Under the guise of free market capitalism, unscrupulous people driven by nothing but greed have polluted our food supply in order to line their pockets with boatloads of money.</p>
<p>Now whether they actually even consider our health is beyond me but I do know that they seem to ignore it if they do. The only way to really limit the amount of poisons we take into our body is by growing our own food without any chemicals at all.</p>
<p>You see, pesticides that are on our food wind up inside of us. Recently, researchers have found: &#8220;Kids with higher-than-average levels of one pesticide marker were nearly twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD as children who showed no traces of the poison.&#8221;</p>
<p>This may explain why the number of kids diagnosed with ADHD is on the rise and it wouldn&#8217;t surprise me if they found out next that this is also why we have the increase in Autism.</p>
<p>These poisons work by messing with the nervous system of bugs but it has similar effects on humans and they are absorbed by the plants through runoff and penetration. This means we are ingesting this stuff!</p>
<p>We have to stop this &#8220;it&#8217;s all about the money&#8221; mentality. If it screws up the free market then so be it. It is better than the alternative of killing us all off. It is hard to make money on dead people!</p>
<p>Read the news story here &#8211; http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37156010/ns/health-kids_and_parenting</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It appears Texas is about to attempt to follow Arizona&#8217;s lead by reforming their current immigration laws.</p>
<p>What confuses me the most is that it isn&#8217;t already against state law to be an ILLEGAL immigrant since it is against federal immigration laws.</p>
<p>But everyone now is freaking out stating &#8220;there will be racial profiling&#8221; but there is such an easy fix that should have been in place all along.</p>
<p>EVERYONE should have to carry proof of citizenship and EVERYONE gets checked when they have police contact, period!</p>
<p>It is just that easy. That way there is no profiling because EVERYONE regardless of race, color, creed or religion will be getting checked. How hard is that? Not hard at all!</p>
<p>The fact that this is an issue amazes me. How dare we try and secure our borders and determine who is here criminally, hence the ILLEGAL immigrant moniker, right? I mean it isn&#8217;t like terrorists would ever use our wide open borders to sneak in and attack us, not on our soil right?</p>
<p>Wake up people!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Living in Texas I can completely relate with Arizona&#8217;s desire to do something to fix this giant issue of illegal immigration. It is such a mess in these border states that unless you live here you may not realize.</p>
<p>I have nothing against anyone wanting to make a better life for themselves, that is what we all want for ourselves. What issue I have is with how they are going about it.</p>
<p>Entering our country illegally, no matter the reasoning behind it, is a crime plain and simple. Saying it is ok to do that is no different then telling someone it is ok to rob someone or sell drugs or steal to make a better life for their family.</p>
<p>Committing a crime is not an acceptable way to make a better life for you or your loved ones. It really is that simple. </p>
<p>I have said it before and will again, if you jumped the border and got caught in Mexico illegally it comes with a 2 year prison term followed by immediate and PERMANENT deportation for the first offense!!</p>
<p>Illegal immigrants are a drain on our economy and are a danger. Do you really believe that terrorists don&#8217;t realize they can just jump the border from Mexico to the US and get right by all of our precautions set up to keep them out? Our borders are wide open and we will pay for it in the long run.</p>
<p>As for the Mexican President&#8217;s remarks in regards to Arizona&#8217;s law changes he may want to keep him mind on his own issues. Mexico is a giant toilet and the Mexican President should be more concerned with getting his country back from the criminals and making it a place that it citizens don&#8217;t abandon like rats on a sinking ship.</p>
<p>He is spent more energy on making his country a better place we may not have such an issue with his people here to deal with.</p>
<p>Let me state this one more time though. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS = CRIMINALS hence the illegal in front of the immigrants! Their reasons do not matter at all as mine wouldn&#8217;t should I get caught jumping the border into Mexico or if I committed a crime to feed my family. Crime is crime.</p>
<p>The Judge</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This guy cracks me up. Talk about a true politician. He is grinding hard against the healthcare reform bill Obama passed and says &#8220;it is not partisan&#8221; driven. </p>
<p>Does he really think we are all that stupid? Some of us are but most of us are not. One of his motives I will bet is that he is planning on a run for the White house in 2012.</p>
<p>The other of course feeds off his big malpractice suit reforms. I wonder who is giving his new little Revere whatever group all the money to show commercials all day and night. I have seen the commercial at least a dozen times if not more. </p>
<p>Anyone else think it is the Insurance industry paying for and guiding this guy? It would explain his malpractice reform stance as well as his stance on the health-care reform bill.</p>
<p>I mean why should doctors be held accountable for hurting someone through their own negligence, right? If doctors were more concerned with taking care of patients instead of running them through as fast as they can for the cash then they might not slip up so much.</p>
<p>I said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again. As for politicians, Republicans are all scumbag crooks and the Democrats are all spineless crooks.</p>
<p>None of what happens in our government is for OUR good. Everything done, no matter how they spin it, is done for themselves and their friends who put them in office with boatloads of money.</p>
<p>If we want to get, it is hard to say it, decent politicians then we need to stop letting money dictate who gets in. Right now it all comes down to who can raise the most money, not who is best for the job.</p>
<p>The bad part about letting money dictate who gets into office is that there is only a tiny percentage of people controlling all that happens to us. That is never a good thing!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;tea parties&#8221; happening right are a joke. They are nothing more than the republican party pushing for the upcoming elections. Nothing more.</p>
<p>Neither Newt or Sarah Palin said a word when Bush and Cheney trampled the Constitution with the patriot act not to mention lying to us to get us into a war in Iraq that should not have occurred.</p>
<p>No anyone who spoke out then were listed as anti-American and we know neither of those two puppets would ever do that.</p>
<p>This whole &#8220;tea party&#8221; B.S. is just that B.S. They speak of the free market which translates to their rich friends are paying them to campaign on their behalf because we all know the market can be trusted to run itself, right? Please!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong I think the Democrats are pathetic and some are crooks but the number of Republicans that are crooks is much higher. In fact, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if I found out that most of the people traveling with the &#8220;tea party&#8221; were being paid to do so. It is all just so shady!</p>
<p>What kills me the most is Sarah Palin. She was a lousy Governor, a lousy Fox correspondent and a lousy Presidential candidate and as such it leaves me asking, why does ANYONE listen to this idiot? It is amazing.</p>
<p>People need to use their heads for something other than just a hair holder and stop allowing these idiots to polarize the country into two sides. We are all SUPPOSED to be on the same side not that you can tell it.</p>
<p>We all should be ashamed!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The attorney&#8217;s general from Texas and 12 other states I believe, have filed suits fighting the health care bill supposedly on behalf of their state.</p>
<p>The sad part is that I believe most people don&#8217;t support the action. Right now we have trouble paying for our schools, our roads and bridges, our public assistance programs as well as a slew of other things. With all of that said Greg Abbott decides to spend God knows how many MILLIONS of OUR dollars on fighting a partisan battle.</p>
<p>To be honest, the money he will piss away trying to make himself look good to the GOP they could use to help many people in the state buy the insurance as required by 2014.</p>
<p>Not only that, he keeps saying that forcing people to buy insurance is unconstitutional as least as far as Texas&#8217; constitution goes, yet the state forces ALL car owners to have insurance.</p>
<p>How is that any different? You force us to buy car insurance supposedly because it is meant to provide safety to others on the road who may be financially devastated by you crashing into them. Makes sense right? How is the healthcare bill any different?</p>
<p>People without health insurance are causing a huge financial burden on all of the states including Texas! Think about it. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s call this whole uproar what it really is, partisan bullshit. I know republicans that will benefit from most of what Obama has done, yet they trash talk him all of the time. </p>
<p>Why? Because he is a &#8220;baby killing democrat&#8221; in their minds. Even when you explain to them that Obama happens to be against abortion. Not reverse the laws against it but he doesn&#8217;t support it which is close enough.</p>
<p>But even that does not matter. We as a country are far to divided along party lines because that is what the politicians want. That&#8217;s how they get elected and that is also how they make boat loads of money.</p>
<p>I guess the whole divided we fall thing doesn&#8217;t matter anymore. The sad part is that both parties are very fundamentally flawed and will be the death of our country one day.</p>
<p>Stay safe and healthy!</p>
<p>The Judge!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It never ceases to amaze me. Ocean city Maryland was the newest mislead city to ban stun guns and tasers. </p>
<p>What kills be is that they do it under the guise of wanting to keep people safe when that isn&#8217;t it at all. They just want another way to get money from people and keep you scared and reliant on them to keep you safe. It is sad really. These people wouldn&#8217;t even have the right to concealed weapons if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact that the NRA has more money than Bill Gates, ok not really <img src='http://www.getselfprotection.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  but they have a ton and can buy quite a few politicians&#8217; support.</p>
<p>To say <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/stun-guns.htm">stun guns</a> or <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/TASER-Devices.htm">tasers </a>should be banned so that scumbags can&#8217;t use them in a crime is silly. What is next the <a href="http://www.middletownjournal.com/news/crime/man-guilty-in-hammer-attack-208626.html">hammer</a>, <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/07/16/BAU318P940.DTL">baseball bat</a>,  <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/07/16/2009-07-16_teen_brutally_stabbed_to_death_with_screwdriver.html">screwdriver</a> the list goes on. </p>
<p>As you can see by the links ALL of these items and many other regular everyday items have all been used in crimes at one point or another.</p>
<p>Like I said it is silly. All they do is make it harder for the non gun toting people to protect themselves by using non lethal weapons like stun guns or tasers. </p>
<p>We need to get a leash on our politicians cause I think they have forgotten they work for us and they may need a reminder kick in the pants!</p>
<p>Wake up Maryland!</p>
<p>Stay safe and keep your eyes open!</p>
<p>The Judge</p>
