So many things have happened since I last posted.  I know I have not been here for quite some time and I really apologize.  I have over 40,000 comments that I still need to read and I really like to read each one so please bear with me if you have posted a comment and you do not see it, that is why.  You may not see your comment either. I have taken to just delete many of the comments since it takes so much time to go over so many comments. I promise you this though. I will be more up to date with my blog now. Thanks for all you who have read or will read my blog.  Keep this in mind that this blog is my opinion only.  I am just a humble 3rd grade teacher living in Utah. Trying to live life day by day and trying to get through the crap that sometimes comes my way. This can be the government, the media, television, politics,  or anything else I feel like commenting about that has affected me in my life or that may affect me in the future so just a little up date for now. I promise I will write more often and comment too. Oh by the way I do have a twitter account. Find my on vampmel@twitter.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I recently purchased the new Foo Fighters CD Wasting Light and it is so so good! There is only one song that I do not like, White Limo. Dave screams through almost the whole song.  Sorry Dave I do not like when you scream. You have a fabulous voice and you screaming just does not sound good.  The rest of the album is awesome though.  I have listened to it over and over again and I must say it is the best Foo Fighters so far.  I just hope they make it to Utah to tour. THey are in Europe right now so I hopeful that they will add more dates to their line up.  I also loved the Documentary about the Foos that was on VH1.  It is so great to see musicians as human beings and not “Rock Stars”  The band has families just like we all do and do things like we all do, play with our kids, drive etc.  I loved the part where Dave’s daughter taped him on the back when Dave is playing his guitar and asks him when are they going swimming. Dave says let me just finish this guitar part. Awesome!!  I did not discover Foo Fighters until just a few years ago.  I liked some of their songs but was never a true true fan until their greatest hits came out.  I am by far a huge fan and I hope they keep rocking for many years to come! PS Dave Grohl gets better looking with age. He is one hot guy!

If I were a person living in Wisconsin I would be appalled.  If I had voted for any of the persons who refuse to return to their job, that they were voted in to do, I would be furious. Although I know I did not vote for them since I am a Republican so with that said anyway it is unbelievable to see this happening. What is wrong with those 14 people who refuse to go back and do their job.  I wonder what the people of this state are thinking, not much about what the people of the state are saying. Why? Probably because most of the people are very angry. I know I would be. Stop wasting the money that they do not have anyway. Now they have to baby these people. Get a life.  I hope the governor Scott Walker, fires those teachers too.  I am glad I live in a right to work state and I am NOT in the union for this reason.  Please Wisconsin residents speak out and let your politicians know how you feel.   I know I am on the side of the governor and the people who want everyone to pitch in and lower the budget. Everyone needs to work together not just a few.

I think that the teachers from Wisconsin that called in sick and then went to the capital to protest should be fired.  And I am a teacher!  What is wrong with these teachers?  The state is not asking them to give up too much. Should we not all try and work together and try to cut the budget and get the money to where the money really needs to go, the students! I am a Republican and yes I am a teacher and no I am not a union member. I will NEVER ever join the union.  I am appalled at these teachers. I became a teacher to accomplish one thing, to  educate kids.  I knew going into this profession that I would not make any money.  I did not care.  I knew what I wanted to do.  I have been a teacher for 10 years now and I do not regret my decision, well sometimes  I wonder why I teach.  Not because of the pay, well sometimes but mainly other things that go along with it.  These teachers are only making themselves look like whiny babies.  So if I do not get what I want then I am going to call in sick and go protest.  What happened to the oath about putting students first? Well  I guess we did not take an oath like a doctor but it is applied.  If you do not like how things are going with your state when it comes to education then look at what is going on with the unions.  That is the main problem with public education.  If we did not have unions our educational system would be so much better.  If we could run the schools more like a business perhaps we could compete with Japan and China schools.  Too much touchy feely sort of curriculum.  We need to get rid of the unions and run public schools properly.  Get rid of all those bad teachers and rise those awesome teacher to the top.  It is so hard to get rid of bad teachers. I have seen it first hand. One teacher was moonlighting at a strip club, as a bar tender, so she said, coming to work late, rumors of drugs on her person,  I do not know this for sure.  She was on probation.  But it took 3 years before she was finally let go. And yes she was a union member but yet she still got fired.  She is now teaching at a charter school.  I think that the governor of  Wisconsin,  Scott Walker should fire all of those teachers who called in sick and or was at the protest last week.  I would not want any of those teachers teaching my child.  I know where their priorities lie and it is not for my child’s education. I also think that there are way too many people at the top of education such as principals, vice principals, superintendents, and like my district, too many people working there.  My district bought a new building a few years back that once was a hospital and they filled it, even to the point where there are other locations around the valley since they can not house everything at the once hospital location.  I truly hope these teachers lose their jobs. It will prove a point that you had better follow your contract and do the right thing. If you do not like it then go into another profession.

WOW what a great day for Republicans! I was so happy to see all those Republicans that got into office. More than ever I was extremely excited to see the House taken over by Republicans.  I only hope that those that ran on conservative values will continue to use those conservative values when they vote.  I think the American people really sent a message to Washington. Now if they would just listen.  I fear that although it was clear with the voting results that Obama and his people will only say, like they did with the Health Bill that we don’t know what we want. Guess what, it is clear what we want.  I know I want Washington to do their job, to listen to the people that voted them into office, go with the flow of the people. And with that the flow of the people is, low government, low taxes, job creation, and no more politics as usual.  The Republicans have a big job a head of them. They have 2 years to turn things around and prove to America that they can do better than the Liberals who have been in control.  I hope that they can repeal the Healthcare Bill.  Or at least start the ball rolling to get it changed or totally out of there. It is too bad that we did not get the Senate, however 2 more years will be the year of the Republicans.  We will gain the white house and perhaps the senate at that time too. I hope that Sarah Pallin will run for President.  She would do such a fantastic job.  I know she would take her Reagan values and get Washington back to where it needs to be.  I only wish that on Tuesday we could have seen the outing of Harry Reid, I thought for sure he would not have won, so it shows that Nevada people are crazy but even more so are those California’s are the worst. How can they vote in Jerry Brown a governor who had already made problems for that state many years ago, and not to get Boxer out too. Wow I have no desire to go to California soon.  I am not sure what the citizens of Nevada or California could be thinking.  Whatever is going through your minds? So again we can get back to our conservative roots and in two years totally take back our government.  Again I say, I hope the Republicans do not mess it up! Go slow and steady and we can do anything.

Thanks to all of you who are reading my blog on a regular bases.  As you all know these are just my opinions for the most part.  I do, however, from time to time put in real quotes of real sources for some of those opinions.  I love to write about things that I feel passionate about.  I look forward to your comments and will post those comments I think deserve to be read. Even if you disagree with me. But I will not post anything that has nothing to do with my blog. Keep to topic please.  Please come back again.

On April 1, 2010 Obama made a statement about opening up our shores for more off shore drilling.

Obama changes mind on off shore drilling

When I heard this and saw the clip, I was amazed, to put it mildly.  I actually had to replay the clip, thank you DVR replay.  I was amazed and yet bewildered since through the whole 2008 campaign with Obama and McCain, Obama was totally against any new drilling for oil or natural gas.  Now it is true that people can change their minds especially when the person IS totally WRONG. That person can come to see the light and do the right thing and change their position on something that clearly their position needs to be changed. So when Obama made this announcement I was like I said, amazed and bewildered.  Ok well good for him. Maybe he will do one good thing in his  one and only term in office.  But yet in the back of my head I could not get away from this. WHY?  SO when the story came out that the BP off shore oil rig had blown up on April 21st, it was very, very clear what was going on.  Now that it has been over 70 days of this horrible, horrible “accident” NOT! I know what is going on. Remember there were 11 men that lost their lives on that day. Eleven men who left their families behind with such a mess too.  Why do so many people forget that those men should get more recognition for losing their lives.  I think that it was not a move in the right direction for Obama to come out and say yes to more off shore drilling.  It was to set up this whole BP Oil RIg fiasco.  Obama set us all up.  He come out and said ok it is clear the U.S. needs to get away from oil from other countries.  Not very many liberals want to drill for oil here in the states so that was a big, big shock.  Then not even a month later this Oil Rig blows up.  It is too suspicious for the Obama to come out and say yes let’s drill then to have an Oil Rig blow up? Come on, why doesn’t anyone else see it too?  There is still oil spraying into our waters.  Then for it to take 70 days before clean up is fully operational is another reason why I think this whole thing was planned well out.  Obama or someone in either is administration, or perhaps BP exexs planned to blow this rig.  It is sad that Obama would go along with such a horrible act. We all know that BP gave Obama millions of dollars for his campaign.  So that could be one reason Obama dragged his feet when this “accident” happened. Obama did not want to step up to the plate and take charge of the situation. Allow BP to go in and clean it up quickly. No Obama made them drag their feet by not allowing BP to do what they wanted to do. If BP had done what they wanted, the spill would have been taken care of days ago. No Obama wanted this “accident” to play out for days and days to make it look as though off shore drilling is a bad thing for our country.  Look what can happen when we have RIgs so close to our shores.  It is a bad thing right?  No Mr Obama, it is not.  Perhaps you should stay out of things that the American people want, most Americans want us to get away from our foreign oil providers. We want to get our own oil and be free to keep it here in America. Now that you have decided to blow a oil rig up, you or whoever you paid to do your bidding. You have got many Americans agreeing with you. I think you are a horrible human being.  I will never, ever address you as my president.  The things you have done and said will never allow me, in good conscious, name you as Mr. President.  I truly believe that you had something to do with this huge explosion on the Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico. It is a sad day for America that the man who is to be held  to a  higher standard can lower himself to doing something has unforgivable as this.  Remember this is my opinion and I am just going by the facts at which I observe.  I would be ashamed if I were you Mr. Obama, and you call yourself an American?  But then there are those who wonder about that too.

This whole debate about the law in Arizona has really got me thinking.  Germany, after WWII placed a Tall, Wall in the center or close to the center of Germany to divide West and East Germany.   East Germany being communist and West being a more free country.  Now this got to me thinking, especially after Arizona created the law saying that police officers can ask for papers or proof of citizenship if the person is already detained meaning probable cause. So if a police officer pulls someone over for running a red light, he/she can ask the driver to prove who they are and if they are here legally. What is wrong with that? The law does not say that a police officer can randomly ask anyone to show papers.  Why aren’t these people really reading the law and what it means? It is not racist!  I understand why Arizona created this law, why won’t others realize this too?  Arizona had finally had enough of illegals coming across the border and since the Federal government would not do anything about it, Arizona did.  That means Clinton, Bush and now Obama did nothing about it although every one of these presidents have been asked to help.

I think that we, as Americans, should go one step further.  We should call to arms, not a call to arms as in weapons, but a call to arms as in labor help, and materials to build a Wall as in Germany.  I know that with the help of the American people and if a call went out to all of Americans and asked for help all the Southern border states, we, Americans, with the willing to help each other as we do, will come together and build a wall to separate the southern border of the United States from the country of Mexico.  Yes I know that this is a large area of land to build a wall.  2,000 miles is very large wall to build compared to the wall in Germany. But hey, this is the United States of America.  We, or at least I know and I can hear that these southern borders need our help. Bottom line, the Feds do not care.  Many Americans are losing their lives down there. All in the name of drugs.  Then when we look at what some of this borders are made of; nothing, crushed cars, vinyl fence, railroad ties, and much more which really does not protect the borders.  So there is not one main border material being used to protect us from Mexico.  So what if we call to arms that all Americans, willing and able, report to certain points at the southern border, we call to arms for materials to be brought in to build the wall to end all walls. Have some American made engineering master mind design a wall that will impregnable for anyone wanting to come over to the US.  We get the Feds, if possible, to buy the materials and we as Americans come to Arms to build this wall, to keep those out who do not belong.  If this wall is to be the ultimate wall then it must be made from the best and most durable material ever made to go into it.  The United States has the most intelligent, brilliant and knowledgeable engineers in the whole world. If we got these most brilliant engineers together they could come up with THE WALL to place in our southern borders. I know for a fact that we could get many engineers to develop and create this wall.  Once the wall is designed then to build it. If we build it, they won’t come. If we build this ultimate wall, extreme wall to fit today’s modern world, it will keep all the bad people out, and only bring in the good people and the people who want to do it legally. SO then the wall gets built.  How tall, 30 feet high? Maybe, or electric? Who knows since I am not an engineer and I do not know the 2,000 miles of area along the border, it is hard to say that the whole wall would be the same material. It depends on what the real intent is, right?  Keep the bad people out and only allow those who come to our country legally to come in to the United States.

Once the designs have been made and everything is set, call to arms to all Americans. Come to this part of the southern border to help build our wall, come prepared to work hard and help the rest of our States to feel as safe as we do in other parts of the states.  I would be there in a heart beat.  I want the states on the border to feel as safe as I do not living along the border.  I know again, for a fact, that thousands of Americans would be there to help.  Look at what we do when a tragedy hits.  We look after our own.  Now is the time to work to help our southern states.  Please help me in spreading  this word too.  We can build the best damn wall the world has ever seen.  If may not be like the Great Wall of China but it will be the Great Wall of America and wall that will protect our southern border.

Again, IF WE BUILD IT THEY WON’T COME!! They will not be able to, great idea? Let me know.

I made a statement a few months back on this blog about Mr. Obama and what I think would happen to him if he were to win or after he had won the office of president, and now more than ever I feel even stronger about those words: I said that I think he would be assassinated in office. Now I truly hope this does not happen and I have several reasons why. First and for most it that he is the father of two daughters and a husband, so I would not wish that on any family. It does not matter how bad I dislike the man, turning more into hate, however the death of anyone just because is not a good reason. So put it first I do not wish this upon him at all! Second reason I do not want this to happen is because Joe Bidden would be our president. Oh how I loathe this man, not as much as Obama but he is just not a smart person. Now he thinks it is ok for a man in his high of office to use the F word so that mikes can pick it up thus having the whole world to hear it. Come on Joe, what kind of message is this sending our children? “Hey why can’t I use that kind of language the vice president used it and he was talking to the president?” I can hear it now, and I know I would hear it from the 3^rd graders I teach. That word is a very common word that most of them hear in their environment. Not only do they hear it by the people they live around, it is also heard in the movies they watch and the music they listen to. So of course it just makes the high calling of the presidency has just been put down to a level I never thought I would see in my life time. SO that is my second reason, and I do not know if he would be any better than Obama. Then my third reason why I would not like him assassinated was he would be made into a far better person he truly was in life but since he is dead it puts him in a higher level then truly what it was in life. Sort of like Kirk Cohban, from Nirvana after he died. Now Obama claims he is similar to Lincoln and we all know what happened to Lincoln. Now my last reason for not wanting Obama to be assassinated in office is that I want him to go done in history as being the worst president our country has ever had. So far he is doing a pretty good job on leading that fight. He not only is the first president that has spent the most in his first year of his presidency than any other in our history. He is also losing his popularity. I know many people think that he is so great, well when he was running for the position of president he was awesome. Now that we have had this man for a year his approval rating is dropped down to about 44% dissatisfied. I know it will drop even more as we go on. It dropped even more after the Health Care bill was signed into law. Then for him to come out and be so arrogant and say “Hey the sky hasn’t fallen or the world hasn’t ended.” To rub into our faces. I have never seen a president be so rude, and arrogant to belittle us as Americans. We, or most of WE did not want this whole plan. WE voiced our opinions to our congress and senators to make sure they knew we would not take this. Well we all know what happened to that. I am proud to say that in my state, Utah, the 3 congressmen listened to us. I was very surprised too when the one liberal congressman, Matheson, listened and voted no on the bill. I know many other states were not so lucky. SO many congressmen, and women and Senators will be looking for work elsewhere come this November. Although the government thinks they have won and have got away with something that hey we will know what is in the bill when it becomes law, Pelosi’s words. How sad to not even know what you are voting on. Is it not the job of every American citizen to before they go into the voting booth to know and study the candidates and issues before you place your prized vote that was given to you as a God loving American citizens and make the right choice? I know who I am voting for and why and I can tell anyone why I voted for or against anything. Yet our Congress does not even read one of the most disturbing bills in our history.

I went to my local caucus and tried to get voted in as a delegate however I was not successful. I have an easier time to voice my concerns and tell people what I believe in when I can type the words. I wish I could have just say hey come to my blog and you will read what type of person I am and why I would be great for our state. Well like I said before our congressmen that represent us are doing well especially Jason Chafes, we truly love him here in our state. Now one Senator, Bennett will be looking for a new job this November and that is one thing that all of us agreed upon when we were giving our speeches to be delegates. We need him out and get a real conservative into that seat. Hatch is close, just due to the fact he has been in there way too long. He has done a good job and now it is time to get some fresh blood there. I think all political offices should have term limits. We have them for the highest office; let’s make it for ALL offices. Now my final reason that I do not want Obama to be assassinated was that if it were to be someone that is a Republican or Conservative it would be an eye upon ALL of us that are. Although everyone has their breaking points, hey it could be a liberal that voted for Obama and just is sick and tired of Obama not fulfilling his promises that he said when he was campaigning. I truly think it will be someone that has just had enough and to his or her losing it that they would try to kill Obama. I really would warn Obama though, even though I know he is so well protected that it would not happen, however a warning to him. He had better start doing what he promised or stop being so damn arrogant to our faces. You have these whole elites’ attitude that is just making more Americans hate you more each day. So enough said about my whole prediction thing. I hope that I am wrong but do not be surprised; it could happen.

All the things that are happening right now in our country makes me think of Hell and all its horrible things that lie there.  Well from what I learning in Sunday School and such is that everyone living in Hell, besides the Devil, are there because they committed horrible sins against their fellow man.  So the people that may be in Hell would be Hitler, who killed many, many Jews and others. Of course Hitler would be at the right hand side of the Devil. But there are many others there too.  I think that Ted Kennedy is close by for the crime he committed years before he was in the Senate.  Yes I mean leaving that girl to die that night.  I too think there are many other murderers staying close to the King of Hell.  Now I do believe in repentance.   One can get forgiveness from God when we have committed sins.  However, sometimes some crimes may not be forgiven.  That is why I speak of our country going to Hell.  Look at how Obama  is changing our country to fit into a more social country. Yes I truly believe that socialism is evil. It totally takes away what our country was founded, freedom.  If someones wages are taken away from them, in form of high taxes, and given to others who are less fortunate than us, than that is socialism. That is not freedom to do with one’s wages.  Of course we have to pay taxes but I am talking way beyond those. Why should one person pay more to the government than another person.  That is why capitalism works so well. It gets people to use their own free will and drive to be successful.  If someone wants to make a lot of money they will use their knowledge or resources to do so. So capitalism is the choice of GOD.  I was taught, in church, as God was preparing to send us down to earth, he did not know which path he was going to have us take. 1. Make us do what GOD wants us to do, follow his will. or 2. Give us the freedom of choice, giving us free will.

As we know He gave us free will to do what we want but to use faith to come back to Him.  So bottom line the Liberals, with Obama in the lead, is taking away our freewill.  Top point, look at Health care. The government is going to MAKE us take this health care whether we want it or not. It has been shown that we do not want it, at all! Obama want us to be dependent on the government. This is one of many ways he will start.  If you remember some religious history, Jesus ran all the money changers out of the temple.  All these money changes were lawyers.  He said this should not be done in the house of the Lord.  They were doing evil things there with money and such.  As we can see now, look how many of our politicians our lawyers in Washington.   I look at as Washington being our temple or our country.  When the temple and evil dealings start we need to run those evil people out.  I think there would be many, many lawyers run out of Washington. Plus most of our legislation  is done by lawyers.  These people are writing our bills.  Yes I know that lawyers  know the law so perhaps they should write new ones, however there are more than just lawyers to write laws.  We have too many lawyers who are trying to change things.  So my final thoughts are these: Obama and his liberal friends want to make us Americans to change into a more social country.  He wants us to give up our free will to live in a free country. He wants to take away our rights and freedoms.  Obama continues everyday to want us to change. Now he wants to bring a terrorist who has confessed to killing Americans on 9-11, to New York for a trial.  This is such a shot in the dark for those New Yorkers who went through the whole thing.  Now they must relive it again due to Obama making such a horrible choice. He is not a criminal, he is a terrorist and he should not be brought back to his act. I am sure there will be  more things that Obama does before 2012 that will show he wants to turn our country into something totally different than what our fore fathers wanted. One last thought, Liberals are evil and want us all to live like socialist.  I want to stop them before it is too late, Please help me!!
