Hero's

     For as long as I can remember. People have always talked about hero's. Those they looked up too and admired.  Normally these people made a difference in the world, for the better or made a difference in their own life.

     When I was a young kid, I was extremely shy and did not hardly talk. (Stop laughing and continue to read, its true!) I mainly would watch and listen. What happened is that I learned a lot from being silent. I learned from my parents, and their friends. I learned from those around me.  I always thought a hero was someone you knew. It never occurred to me that it could be someone I didn't know.

     As a nation, we have a lot of hero's.  They are the men and women that serve in our armed forces. For nearly 300 years, people have been willing to come together and fight for what they believe this country.  They know that there is evil out there and they want to do harm to our way of life.

     People came to this country for a better life free from persecution. Whether persecution was religious or other, it is wrong to condemn a person for what they believe or say.  This is a two way street for my liberal readers. It is wrong for people to try and force Christians to take down their crosses and not wear their supportive shirts.

     Lets be clear about all this politically correct business. It has been a waste of time and money. Study after study show that it has not had the positive affect that was originally believed. Diversity is a topic that is pointless and does nothing to improve way of life. Two kids playing in the park are in the sand box and having a good time know now difference in the color of skin or religion. That is until someone tells them that there is a difference and you can not talk to them in a certain way or say certain phrases.

     Now, what does all this have to do with hero's? Extremists in many facets of this world want to do harm to the United States. They wants to destroy our freedoms and destroy the words that our founding fathers so intelligently put forth in our constitution and bill of rights. These are people from inside and outside our country. They come in many forms and fashions.

     My hero's defend what they believe not only for just for themselves, but also for the greater good of the country. They want to protect and uphold our constitution. They want to protect our religious freedoms. My hero's do not want to change this country.  POTUS in his first acceptance speeches stated, "We live in a great nation, but we have to change that nation."  That is not a hero. That is an ideological theory of a person who believes they are smarter then everyone. We don't need to change our country. We need to bring it back to basics. Family, God, and morals.

     According to The World Factbook atheists were an estimated 2.01% of the world population in 2010. That means that 97%+ believe in a god or higher power of some kind.  I have to show my ID for many daily tasks that we take for granted. Yet, its wrong to make people do it when they take on such a patriotic duty as vote?  Atheists believe that we should remove all forms of god from our government and schools. When right now we need more of him.

     Hero's are not people that take rights away, or change the world to fit the ideas of a few. Hero's protect all men, women and children no matter what they believe because it is the right action.  Hero's do not take away from others just to give others a chance. Hero's teach those that are not succeeding how to succeed.

    If you want to know who my hero's are in my life its simple. I of course whole heartily support our troops who defend our country and the rights of all people.  Then my hero's were my Sister, my Mother and my Father. People who had a profound affect on my life and truly helped in shaping me into the person I am today.  For others your hero can be people who are famous, rich, or have certain abilities. I ask everyone to sit back and think why are they your hero? Did they teach you many valuable lessons, or just one or two. Did they teach you to be a better person or to change the world.

Thomas Jefferson said, "Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."

You are a special kind of stupid aren't you?

     I started this post the other day and it was titled something else and decided to change it since people never cease to amaze me. I know a lot of people. They either worked with me, were one of my employees when I managed people, or friends and family.  I like to follow a wide variety of people on my twitter account.  I think it's important to get a well rounded idea of what people think and believe.      There are some horrific tragedies that have occurred in our country.   They are tragedies that we have seen in the past and will continue to see in the future.  We as Americans come together and support each other, we provide support, food, money, and a prayer.  All are important to the process of rebuilding their lives that have been destroyed.      Theordore Rosevelt was fond of the West African Proverb "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far." Pretty good saying in my book. ...

Clean your Windshield

It’s that time of year where people will have the “new year, new me” phrase going strong. For many that will last about 2-3 weeks.  For others they will last well into mid-year. I am of the philosophy that you should make changes immediately in life. If you need to start eating healthier then go to the cupboard and fridge and throw out all unhealthy food. If you are going to stop drinking, throw out all your booze. (Rest a sure this will not happen in my house.) If you are going to start working harder on your livestock, turn off your phones and get to the barn. If you are going to sit back and re-evaluate your life while planning for new adventures, sit down and make a list. Every one of these goals requires you to clean your windshield to see what is ahead of you.  As we go down the highway of life we have a big broad windshield in front of us. We can see great distances and have great hopes of what I'd to come in our lives. In-order to see down that road, you must clea...

It is Just a Show

  In the beginning I was not a watcher or a fan. There was a lot of talk. Chatter online. Then I decided to tune and check out all the hype. There is cattle, ranching, horses, politics, drama, and suspense. This show was a creation from the mind of a very creative horse jockey. The story is well written, the acting is superb, and the raw attitude is what brings people back each week. This show hits an audience that is hungry for real talk, real action, and real results. The bad part is it is all fiction.  The show is full of wrong information. Actions that make no sense. Calves do not jump up and start running immediately after being born. Most cattle ranches don’t take their hands and shoot them off a cliff if their employment has ended. They don’t brand their workers for show of loyalty. The good news is it is all fiction.  The characters in the show are people you either love or hate. They are characters that bring a lot of talent to the show. These people come from ma...
