It is Memorial Day holiday here in the states.

Memorial Day is a day when we acknowledge those who have paid the ultimate price for us. Honoring the fallen soldier is not an affirmation of war, rather, it’s providing respect for those who never came back to their families and friends.

It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action.

Some Americans view Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer and Labor Day as the unofficial end of the season.

Many take to the roads or trips this weekend as their kick off to summer. I hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday weekend.

I also wish and hope that everyone during this one day. Even if you did not go to an Memorial Day ceremonies or events, you found a few moments to stop and think of those who gave the ultimate (still to this very day) sacrifice and honored their memory.

Happy Memorial Day.

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character.
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

First to preface this post. Thankfully I love that I live in the US and as such have certain rights. One of those is the freedom of speech. To some that means we can say and do anything we want because we are free to do so. Plus this is a long one!

With that said, I too can rant. Thank you founding fathers! Rosie rants on “The Wrong View” has just become too much. For me and apparently some others around the world.

On “The View’ that is suppose to talk about “balanced” views. We have:
Rosie and Joy on one side (lets, mmmmm, call them The Lefties)
On the other side:
Barbara & Elizabeth (ok, maybe we should call them The Righties)

For a talk show that is suppose to talk about both sides of the view, since every topic has a black and a white side (and maybe even some shades of gray in between) lets see what we get.

The Lefties go off hootin and hollerin, literally. Ask anyone that has watched since Rosie showed up with mouth in tow. You have to turn down the volume. I mean words a flying, yelling, screaming, Rosie trying to talk louder than Joy, Joy trying to talk louder than Rosie. A veritable hog wrestling match.

On a side note about these shout offs: I would really dislike to be the stage hand that has to wipe off the view table they all sit around. The spit from those two when they are done ranting. DANG! Honest, watch when Joy and/or Rosie starts going off… saliva goes everywhere (Tivo it and watch).

The Righties should be rebutting since this is a view from both sides right? Oh wait, Barbara just has had enough of Rosie and has given up and wants to retire. Where is the Barbara the hard hitting report? Then Elizabeth being the youngest on the show, just gets ran right down by Rosie’s size 12s.

So you get a person like Lou Dobbs coming on the show to talk politics (with some real honest discussions about middle America) and what do you get? The Lefties asking if the president should be “impeached”.

So once again everyone is entitled to their opinions, just like I get to state mine here. Sure the war is a mess and no one really likes war. Heck, we have Americans dying overseas everyday. No one refutes that and that just hurts. Sons, Daughters, Moms, Dads, Uncles and Aunts die and leave someone behind. Never good.

Whether anyone wants to realize it, our soldiers are over there fighting for our rights to freedom of speech and the rights we have as US citizens. Rosie, they are fighting for you as much as they are fighting for your neighbors rights. All too often unsung heroes.

Yes, we could all ignore The Screw, oops The View. Sure we could turn off the TV when we saw the Rosie. Sure we even have remotes to make all this stuff so easy. The problem is that you can’t drive down the road listen to your local FM or watch the channel 5 news in the evening now without hearing about Rosie and who she is criticizing today.

Between her fighting with Barbara and Trump… now she goes for the president. Lets rewind and see if she was chanting “impeach” back in the Clinton days when he was “not have sexual relations”. Bush will be leaving soon enough come next year and we will have someone else to flame for doing a crappy job.

Rosie, can you remember Clinton war efforts? Remember how well Gore and him did on foreign affairs (the political not the sexual)? Oh how soon we all forget. Oh wait Lefties don’t bad mouth Democrats and vice-a-versus, that would just be wrong.

Has anyone (other than being told to by a prompter) laughed at anything Rosie says anymore? Instead all we hear is the militant Rosie blowing. She needs to go back into hiding/retiring. I know I sighed when her show went off the air. What a sad day that was.

The View should add a disclaimer: Now with 50% old stand up comics that aren’t funny anymore.

Lastly, for someone that publicly admits that she speaks befor thinking (she thinks?), she should be tossed out to sea on a raft, with a soccer ball, painted in her own likeness. Chat away Blosie!

Final commentary:
Rosie needs to learn that just because you “were a celb”, does not mean you should spew forth. Instead of using your bullhorn (sometimes called your mouth) why don’t you take notes from a real celb that knows how to do something right and good for people around the world. I turn to Sir Bono and need say no more.

A father of a 4.5 year old daughter, I am the first to think that there are better solutions than spanking your child’s backside. However, are we at a point in the US that we actually need to impose a law that says you are going to go to jail if you spank your child. I am not talking about child abuse. Child abuse can not be accepted anywhere, yet it is around the world. That is not what we are talking about here.

I would normally ask who the parents are, you or the government. BUT… There are way too many people in the world that should NOT be parents. Then there are tons that are the best example of what a parent should be. But writing a bill is needed? Is under 3 yr spanking running rampant in Silicon Valley? Even better, Ms. Sally J. Lieber has even said that we (assuming she means the California/US/society), “We’re very addicted to violence.” That is a pretty broad statement.

You can read The New York Times article to understand Ms. Lieber plans to release next week.

This is a lady that is committed (or should be) to her purpose? Need look no further than this video from April 2006 when she decided to go homeless for several days in Silicon Valley. All in an attempt to understand the problems the homeless face and how the legislation can help them. All valiant, but begging for money for a bagel, how does that help the homeless?

How about the nice gear? I am sure every homeless in The Valley have all that gear with them. I think she forgot the shopping cart? I understand you must be a method actor/assembly woman, but I really wonder what she learned? Did she feel for them more now?

Once again, this is a person that might on the surface have those nirvana ideas. When we all step back into reality, it is these types of efforts and bills that are twisted. Instead of helping the babies to 3yr old kids from being beaten to death (literally folks), it will put a soccer mom in jail for swatting her 3 year old in the supermarket because the child was going to pickup a bottle of Drano!

As we know, every good deed does not go unpunished in our society!

Watch out Californians, the next door crack mom beating her 10 kids wont be stopped, but the upright parents sure will be. Watch out Arnold, you got some crazy people out there.

UPDATE:
Here is a site set up back in 2001 to recall Sally.

Hillary in Presidency in 2008? Between Clinton and Obama, the Democratic party has a guaranteed nightmare just waiting to happen! This has nothing to do with race, gender, creed, etc. This has to do with what these people previous actions have to say.

You can check out Hillarys’ website for all her great details. It is nice to see that she still tries to avoid media outlets and announces via her website. But she will be reaching out via online videos and blogs. At least she panders to the net first, how thoughtful! She wants to use the videos and blogs to get in touch with the people? Maybe she should get in some chat rooms then too!

At least she is in to win and not lose. Her PR camp have her saying the correct words at least.

If she used a president to get her to the NY Senator seat (she was distended since the first Governor of the state was a Clinton, they need another one right), who will she use to get her into the presidency? Anyone notice that as soon as she was sworn in on Jan 3, 2001, you never see her and Bill together, unless it is for her PR benefit? Heck she doesn’t even mention her role as a wife only as a mother on her website.

So what do we learn? Well she “stood” by her man while he cheated on her with a intern. Who of course he did not have sexual relations. YADA YADA YADA.

But of course we all know that clear back into the 70′s this type of thing had been going on. Everyone knew it (including Hillary). She had to keep Billy around so she could further her political aspirations right?

Heck we all know that she kept her promise of bringing more jobs to NY (2000 election promise of a mere 200K jobs). The state lost over 170K in the first 2 years she is on the job. Ooops, I guess she meant, lose not bring. Oh wait, I am sure it was all George E. Pataki fault since he was the republican Governor anyhow!

2008 should be a joyous year to behold!
