From The Eyes of an OWL on College Campus Today

The view on EKU's (Eastern Kentucky University) campus today is dramatically different from the view I experienced as an 18 year old freshman back in 2000!  A lot of things were different in the world back then.  Sure, some new buildings had been erected, older buildings had been renovated or re purposed. Technology had become a much larger part of campus with campus wide WIFI and many more computer labs with instructors using laptops as instruction aides in nearly every class.  Parking police or as they are referred to by some as parking nazis still go out to write as many tickets as possible.  However, that is not the concern I have for the future as I observe activity on campus today! 

I am a non-traditional student or an OWL which stands for Older Wiser Learners.  This means that I do not fit in the 18-24 age range and I do not live on campus.  Other criteria for consideration would be those married with kids, those with full time jobs, veterans.  Since I experienced college life as an 18 year old, and experiencing it today 16 years later as a 34 year old, I am noticing activity that raises concerns.  It is enough of a concern for me to take the time to write this piece. 

Chiefly among my concerns is the absence of a core belief structure on campus.  Ever since the 9/11 attacks, I have noticed a decline in people being willing to come together with a common set of values.  It is almost like being willing to stand for common good has become something to vilify.  As a result, people have over time adopted this "free thinker" ideology that possesses people to believe that it is wrong to have and practice a particular set of beliefs.  This has led to a growing competition for young minds on campus.  From the benign traveling gypsies, to the offensive fundamentalists.  But due to the non-compliance to a set of common beliefs, the university allows all kinds to come on to campus and put on display their "religion".  There is even a guy that at least twice a semester comes on to campus for the sole purpose of telling everyone they are going to hell.  No doubt that it is important for people to be tolerant of other cultures, of other beliefs.  There is a difference in my opinion between tolerating the existence of various cultures and beliefs, and refusing to have an identity of your own.  That is what is most troubling to me is that young people on college campus today stand for nothing in common with each other.  There is no identity that would naturally cause bonds to take place.  People are so engrossed with their cell phones and tablets and twitter and Facebook that its become almost awkward to walk forward and meet someone's eyes as they walk by you. 

Another one of my observations as I continue my pursuit of my Bachelors degree which I will have after spring of 2016 is that young college students today care not for how they present themselves in public nor do they care how they act and speak to others.  Nary a conversation could be overheard without some profanity being let loose every 10-20 seconds.  Today January 20th being the first day of classes for the Spring of 2015 semester, I got to observe once again just how many people clearly dress to stand out. If its not clothing with outrageous words on them, its young females wearing extra bright red lipstick on a completely pale face.  I don't write this to try to offend people.  I write this because I have concerns about how society will function in the future with these people in college now slated to become the next wave of workers, policy makers, think tankers, etc. 

I have a perspective that honestly not many people have because most people only go to college once in their life and then they are on with their careers and the rest of their lives.  They typically don't even think twice about the culture of their campus and how it has changed or how much it has changed.  There are some encouraging aspects to the youth of today that I did not notice with my generation in college.  That is a healthy distrust for government.  I know it sounds crazy considering it was our youth that was behind getting President Obama elected, but our youth today seriously has a problem with big obtrusive government.  They want to smoke, guess what, they can't smoke on campus.  They want to vape, guess what, they cannot vape on campus.  If one thing can be said about our youth today, its that they are being subjected whether they acknowledge it or not, to more government and more restrictions on their liberty and freedom than any generation in our relatively young US History.  Only they can fulfill the goal of recognizing this and acting to stop the next generation from being treated worse.  Even at age 34, I may be too old to act to save the next generation from being subjected to even more government policies and restrictions than today!  I could never have imagined being told back in 2000 that there were "free-speech zones".  Yet today in 2015 these young Americans are being told that they not only have to register their demonstration, but also have to reserve time and be restricted to a physically limited area in which to hold their demonstration.  Makes me wonder what sort of restrictions will those only 2 years old now will have to abide by when they become 18 years old and experience college life for the first time. 

What I hope you get out of this is that while the future is uncertain, there are certainties that are bound to crop up due to the current state of our youth on college campuses.  We will likely see a future with less in person interactions.  We can expect to continue to see a decline in proper English being used in speech and in literature.  We can expect to see the continued decline of traditional American values.  We can expect to experience a prolonged period of mediocre to average quality of work.  We can expect political correctness to continue to poison and destroy American Culture.  We can continue to expect to see a politician even more brazen than before in attacking our Constitutional Rights.  While I paint a bleak picture for the future, It doesn't mean that we should give up our fight!  It doesn't mean that we should just lay down and take it.  It means that our fight is in perpetuation.  It means that we must adapt and overcome these new obstacles.  IT MEANS WE MUST PERSEVERE!!

The State of #Blacks Today in #America vs #Slavery Days

President Obama would have you believe that Americans of Color are better off today than they were before his presidency!  He thinks that race relations are better off today thanks to his presidency.  Not only do I completely reject this outright, I actually dwell on the state of the black population in America today versus pre-civil war days.  Already I can hear the race baiting poverty pimps that aspire to be like Al Sharpton calling me a racist and that I can't possibly talk about the state of People of Color in America today because Im white and I sure as hell better not be trying to talk about Pre-Civil War Blacks!  However many the criticisms against having this discussion, it MUST be had!  But how could anyone think for even a nano-second that Black people are worse off today than when they were enslaved pre-1865?  How could anyone even conceive the notion that black people may have been better off during their enslavement? 

In order to begin answering these questions, one must be willing to entertain the notion that Black People in America today are by far and large being put at a disadvantage by those that they perceive to be protecting them!  That enslaved blacks struggled to be individuals and be free but their spirits were much better off than today! 

But how could anyone think for even a nano-second that Black people are worse off today than when they were enslaved pre-1865?  Just look at every segment of our society that is concentrated with black people.  These are areas where crime is high, the economy is low.  Households are broken.  Young are raised by far and large by single parents or other relatives due to one or both parents in jail or worse, dead!  We have a justice system that is inherently biased against blacks for the pure and simple fact that its just easier for police to catch criminals in the inner cities.  Its just easier for the impoverished black person to be hauled into court and be convicted only having a public defender as a defense.  The liberal leadership in these communities are constantly casting a massive shadow of doubt and despair among the people with their cries of racism and police corruption and that they walk around with targets on their back.  That Big Government is the only way that they wont be killed or end up starving and homeless.  They are given a dumbed down education in order for the state to give off the appearance that they are educating these at risk teens.  They get out in the real world more than likely already having experience committing crimes.  They are more likely than not forced to check off that box that says Im a convicted felon for having the misfortune of being caught with drugs or caught with someone else that had drugs.  They are coddled and told they are victims all their lives and to always run to the government at the very first sign of perceived injustice.  They are taught that Affirmative Action was enacted as a form of reparation for the enslavement of their ancestors which they never knew nor personally experienced.  They are raised in a public education system to hate the white man for enslavement in America even though sufficient evidence suggests that the very first slave owner in the 1600s was a black man himself.  Our government welfare system is rigged to keep families apart.  More help and more money and more benefits go to those single mothers who have multiple kids.  Even our IRS contributes to this by granting larger tax incentives to those who file as if they are separated.  Even as we have our first black (ok half black) president in Barack Obama, a Black Attorney General Eric Holder, Susan Rice, etc. even as black people are at the top talent in our sports of Football, Basketball, even as Rap and R&B have made many black Americans wealthy beyond comprehension, they are still told that America is a racist country and that they need to continue supporting Big Government in order for them to come closer to "equality".

How could anyone even conceive the notion that black people may have been better off during their enslavement?  Yes they were enslaved! Yes many were beaten! Yes many died as a result of their inhumane treatment! Yes they were denied basic human rights!  However, no matter what the slave masters did, those slaves held on to their spirit.  They held on tight to their families.  They held on to their dreams of freedom.  They held on to independence and individuality.  They held on to their dignity.  Those that were fortunate to escape, craved an education.  They craved owning land.  They craved earning a living of their own.  Cow towing to their masters was more of an exception rather than the rule.  Can people honestly say these things about most of the black population today? 

This discussion must take place, not only in the realm of blogs, not only in politics, but in our own homes!  We must become comfortable talking about race and how minorities are being taken for a ride and how their entire lives are devolving right before their eyes as they are being swallowed whole surrounded by all the empty promises of Big Government.  Join me in restoring the spirit that the slaves of our past had, in restoring the desire for independence, for freedom, for FAMILY!  
 

My #Immigration #Amnesty Plan A Common Sense solution

What President Obama has done is precisely the opposite of what I would call Common Sense.
Here are my simple suggestions for resolving this Democrat led Illegal Immigration crisis.

1) SECURE THE BORDERS
     Nothing is going to get resolved until we can secure our obviously porous borders.  What is the point of granting Amnesty when in 10-20 years we will end up with the exact same problems again?

2) STRICTLY ENFORCE CURRENT LAWS
     We already have many immigration laws on the books and President Obama missed a great opportunity to use an executive order to have these laws enforced!  What good is Amnesty if we aren't going to make sure that the laws are enacted to prevent this crisis from happening again?

3) TURN OFF ALL ILLEGAL ALIEN MAGNETS
     There are far too many government programs in place that are attracting these illegals to risk their lives to cross the border.  Its as simple as this, don't give them a reason to think coming here illegally is worth their life.  Public resources should only be available to those who are here legally and pay taxes!

4) BRING US TROOPS HOME TO SECURE BORDERS
     Too many times politicians complain about the costs of securing our borders as an excuse to continue allowing these criminals to continue invading our country.  Bring our troops home from the middle east, and use them to do what they are constitutionally supposed to be doing in the first place which is defending our people, our homeland.

5) DEMAND ILLEGALS EITHER LEAVE OR SIGN UP FOR CITIZENSHIP!
     Illegals in this country cost taxpayers billions nationwide every year.  They should either be forced to leave or sign up to be a US Citizen.

6) NO VOTING PRIVILEGES
     Illegals in this country that do become US Citizens shall be denied the privilege of participating in our Democratic voting process at all levels.  They denied themselves the perks and privileges of being a US Citizen when they decided to cross the US Border illegally. 

7) NO RUNNING FOR OFFICE
     Illegals that do become citizens shall not ever be allowed to hold public office or serving on our School Boards.  To do so would send the message that crime pays.  To do so would be to allow criminals to affect our education system. 

8) MUST SPEAK ENGLISH TO COMMUNICATE WITH GOVERNMENT
     Illegals wishing to become citizens must demonstrate the capability of speaking and reading English to at least the 8th grade level.  Our Government wastes millions every year duplicating documentation in other languages and paying interpreters to cater to those who refuse to speak the language that is taught in ALL our Schools. 

I do not feel that these suggestions are in any way Racist or Inhumane!  These are common sense solutions that both are in the spirit of recognizing the US Constitution, and Preserving American Culture!

I Vape I Vote Vaping: A True Representation of America

Double Devil's Advocate, Ferguson Haste and Bias

Just why should people on all sides of the Ferguson Missouri incident of the Cop involved shooting death of Mike Brown be worried about the comments made by their Governor Nixon, Department of Justice head Eric Holder, and President Barack Obama? 

If you are concerned about Officer Darren Wilson, you have to be concerned about 2 things.
1) The Governor, Eric Holder, and our President have all three made comments referring to the prosecution of Officer Wilson.  By referring to Prosecution, they have already insinuated that a crime has taken place that needs to be tried in a court of law.  The comments have also set up a bias that there is reason to believe that the Officer committed an offense.  This is dangerous because the 6th amendment to the US Constitution guaranties each individual the right to a fair trial.  How fair can the jury pool really be in light of comments made by high ranking officials in favor of prosecution?  This sets up the situation where Officer Darren Wilson's rights cannot be guarantied. 

2) The comments spread across every major media outlet on TV and on the Internet have cast a damaging blow to Officer Wilson's reputation.  It would be very unlikely that any other agency would be willing to hire Wilson in the future even if it turns out that he was innocent of all charges.  The comments made by Nixon, Holder, and Obama are damaging, jury tampering, and both instances are punishable in a court of law.

If you are concerned about Justice for Mike Brown, you have to also be concerned because as I mentioned above, the comments could be considered jury tampering.  Also as I have mentioned, every person has the right to a fair trial.  If Officer Wilson is indicted for either murder or manslaughter, a judge would have little reason to believe that he would receive a fair trial by jury. 

On a personal note: I would like to see Nixon removed from office for inciting violence with his comments because they were both unnecessary and unprofessional.  I would like to see Holder removed from office due to his comments labeling this case as racial profiling in light of his duties to remain blind to color.  I would also like to see Congress reprimand President Obama for giving an OK, to have federal authorities involved in what is essentially a local incident. 

Ferguson Poem

No Good Crisis goes to waste, this story has been full of haste

For it was Brown and not the Cops who gave chase, For it was Brown who damaged first the cop's face.

Looting and Rioting every place, they only bring Ferguson more disgrace.
Nixon, Holder, and Obama blame Police, The Mainstain Media hates to see the rioting decrease

Grocery Stores burn and Liquor Stores Fleeced Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson came to make Racism increase

If the cop had been black or had Brown been white 
 
None of this would have seen the light
 
For Brown would have still been alive if he had not tried to fight
 
That is all I have to say, so have a good night!

Montel Williams further Disrespect for Bloggers

So apparently making a video about something makes you a victim!  That's nice to know!

Montel Williams Does Not Respect Bloggers

Bloggers are not held down by the restraints of the Politically Correct Mainstream Media machine and thus are more than likely to ask the tough questions "reporters" will not.  Thus the reason why celebs like Montel Williams refuse to give proper respect to the only free press left in the United States.

Common Sense for the 21st Century

When in the struggle of current events bring us to a point in our country’s history where blatant displays of tyranny are being pushed on to us from all facets of life as compassion.  Does it not make COMMON SENSE to reject these forms of compassion?  Does it not oddly strike anyone that these forms of compassion do not allow you to say no, and in fact are penalized with more financial and legal suffrage if you do not comply?  When in human existence did a people ever feel free and just when their governance allows for the intentional and cold blooded murder of the unborn? Furthermore, when did such activity become in any way part of individual liberty and freedom?  Common Sense for any individual should be to be of the position that you would want maximum freedom, maximum privacy, maximum individual choices that are not infringed upon by any government foreign or domestic.  It is a natural right and power of the individual to always control their own government.  

For 100 years now, our Central Federal Government has levied taxes on that which we rightfully earn.  Not coincidentally we also see the 100 year existence of the Federal Reserve Bank which has unconstitutionally assumed the role of the US Treasury Department.  They print our debt notes, control economic climates through quantitative easing (QE), and continuously buy up US Debt.  Not coincidentally this nation has been at a near constant state of foreign conflict with those who have not brought harm to the people of this nation, attacked us on our homeland, or threatened our sovereignty.  This is for the purpose of not maintain “National Security” but furthering the advance of the Federal Reserve Bank and its fractional banking practices, and growing the “Military Industrial Complex”  that President Eisenhower tried to warn us about.  It has always been and always will be to the benefit of the Federal Reserve Bank and the Military Industrial Complex to keep Americans in a constant state of fear about the next economic collapse or the next wave of “terrorists”.  For 100 years now our fine men and women in uniform have been the ones to make the sacrifice being told it was for the protection of our way of life and freedom, but it was for resources which we do not need or can obtain right here at home. 

Common Sense is not at all that common in our government, in our classrooms, in our media, in our society today.  The only Common Sense answer for this is because government now controls all facets of our lives.  We are constantly bombarded with government everywhere we look.  The majority of us have never even read our founding document(s) to include the Declaration of Independence and our U.S. Constitution.  Common Sense says that if you want to buy a product, you should first decide if you have the financial means without burdening others to buy said product.  You should also buy said product under a volunteer choice.  Common Sense should mean that each of us should be aware of the actions of our government.  However, this is impossible when we allow ourselves to be ignorant to even the functions of government as defined by the people that created it.  It is impossible when we allow our media to become completely corrupt and bias toward favoring government.  We have allowed a law to be passed by one party in 2009 that forces you to participate in a health insurance exchange or be penalized or even jailed.  Furthermore, the same agency of the federal government that coerces you out of your hard earned wealth will be the same agency that ensures your adherence to this law.  Mind you this is the same agency that has an admitted history of punishing its political opponents.  Common Sense says that only you should decide how you spend your money and on what. 

Common Sense should have told us as Americans that nothing good comes of electing those with great wealth to political offices as was done by the people in the days before the infancy of the United States of America.  Just as the gentries of early colonists assumed control of the different assemblies that wanted to perpetuate their control down their bloodline, the elites of today amassing great wealth are elected to office and then followed suit by their offspring.  The common man of the 1700s were ruled and held down by the wealthy.  Today the same continues as a common hard working American could never take the time; much less amass the wealth necessary to facilitate a run for political office.  We continuously suffer from poor policies coming from our elected government because we commonly elect those with little to no real world experience due to always being wealthy.  We commonly elect those who can speak eloquently over those who could lead and adapt to the needs of the people.  Those with wealth and very little else going for them are not superior to anyone else and we need to stop electing these people to congress, to being our President, to being our Governors.

Common Sense needs to become common once again.  Common Sense is an enemy of the state which holds our very individuality, our freedom, our civil liberties hostage.  Common Sense requires a never ending thirst for knowledge for knowledge is power.  Common Sense requires courage to stand alone in your convictions while striving to avoid being alone in your stance.  Common Sense requires you to be independent, self-sufficient, and respectful of the individuality of others.  There is no room in Common Sense for racism, bigotry, and the false claims of these assertions.  There is no room for coercive force of government and perpetual elite rule in Common Sense.  DAMN IT we are Americans, we defined what individual freedom and liberty looked like to the world that then still was held oppressed by few Kings and Queens.  “YES WE CAN” achieve victory over those holding us in bondage and we can break from our own self-induced Stockholm Syndrome.

Did Montel Williams Vote for Barack Obama?

Why Impeachment talk is innappropriate.................For right now!

Never before in United States history has a President been so brazen with his executive actions as to dare the opposition party to sue him, to impeach him.  This attitude comes on the heels of executive orders involving the ACA aka Obamacare and orders involving the Immigration Humanitarian Health crisis on our Southern Borders.  While this crisis goes on, and he is getting owned by not just Russian President Vladimir Putin, but by Israeli leader Netanyahu, instead of being engaged on the issues such as patients with Ebola coming into the US creating a serious threat to the population, instead of paying close attention and demanding the EPA provide clear transparency and cooperate fully with the representatives of Toledo, Ohio dealing with a toxic situation with their water supply, President Obama is out campaigning, golfing, taking yet another vacation.  He does this while telling the media that he dares the GOP to try to Impeach him.  This not only shows his brazen disregard for law and order and constitutional limits on his authority, but it shows that he simply no longer cares if people see him as needing to be impeached.  Why is it then that I think talking about Impeachment right now is a bad idea?  Well because we all know that while Dirty Harry Reid is in control of the US Senate, it would never see the light of day and it would be a wasted effort.  However as corrupt as Obama is, he would seek to use this to try to once again go to the Democrat Base of Voters and tell them that its because of the color of his skin that the GOP wants to impeach him and goad them out of more campaign money.  I also find that this "lawsuit" of Speaker Boehner's is pretty damn worthless as well considering the current political climate and his willingness to cave on the issue himself almost a year ago during the "Shutdown" that really wasn't a shut down considering that most of government runs on auto pilot.  My advice for the GOP in DC and for GOP voters nationwide is this, Vote GOP like you have never voted before in 2014, retake the US Senate and then in 2015 pursue Impeachment. Once the Democrats lose control of the US Senate, then Obama's administration is finished.  I can easily see him pulling a Nixon and resigning.  He knows his time in office is quickly drawing to a close.
