Welcome To Case's Column

Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken. Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.

In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.

Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!

Regards,

Had Enough Of The Barry & Harry Show? I Have

It wouldn't have mattered when I'd be writing this sometime in the last four years, but it might as well be right now. And when things in America get chaotic and out of control to the point where you can't even trust anything that moves or breathes, well, you've got to take action. For lots of folks, that action is taking place right now at your nearby voting precinct.

This is a pivotal day for the United (some would say Divided??) States of America. What we've built for 236 years through life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, as well as hard work, all of that hangs in the balance in a presidential election that, sadly, will be the first of many to decide whether we hang on to the aforementioned liberty that you and I enjoy, or lose it altogether gradually. That's right, every presidential election, going forward, is going to be like this. The Democrats are not JFK's Democrats anymore, folks; those people today are the RINOs. Democrats as we know them are now wearing the armor of socialism, and that's just sad. Several government officials' careers as they are in real life look like they took a page out of the "Saturday Night Live" playbook. Barack Obama has just been a complete joke as someone who was supposed to be the first black president serving in the White House. He's served nothing but insults, lies, cover-ups, and deceit just to hold up power. Joe Biden as Vice President,.............oh, boy, where do you begin with this bozo? Neither of those guys can lead. And Harry Reid has got to be the worst senator I've ever seen. He has to be the most anti-American of all of those in Congress, be that in his mean-spirited demeanor or his gross inability to work with other people. Never in my life have I seen more corruption in the halls of government than what I've seen on Capitol Hill in the last four years.

But that can change with this election going on and the results that follow.

Yes, I do listen to people like Bill Cunningham, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Sean Hannity with much regularity. Big deal. I've gotten a lot more insight on the goings-on in our nation from these guys, and it's made me a more educated person than before when it comes to national affairs, but there's still a long way to go. The important thing is that I've taken a stand two weeks ago. I took advantage of early voting like many Americans and many others did, too. Think I want to stand in line for two hours?? Not a chance. Face it, sports fans, I've had all I can take from Barry, Joe, Harry, Nancy Pelosi, Eric Holder, Hillary Clinton, Jay Carney, and many others who have long worn out their welcomes in Washington. Ask the 89 million Americans who are still out of work and who have given up. Food stamps for everyone. Why? I wouldn't want to be in that situation; I have a job right now and I'm glad to have hung on to it for as long as I have. But I hurt for those who have families and are just trying to hang on. I also hurt for those people whose lives were affected by Superstorm Sandy this past week. What a mess. And should I even ask about those whose loved-ones were killed in Benghazi and had nothing done about it? If I were President, I sure as heck would not have taken any of these things sitting down, and if I had a Congress that would work with me, together, we would do something about it. At the same time, however, government is not the be-all, end-all, and we have to be careful. We have to do what is constitutionally ordained and designed as our greatest government document was intended to be. Would I want government getting into my personal business day in and day out?? No way. And neither would any of you. Also, would you trust politicians who lie to always one-up others simply for nothing other than political gain? No, and neither, still, would any of you. So, people are coming out in droves and (many of them) are doing something about it.

We can vote the Barry & Harry Show out of Capitol Hill. We can vote liberalism out of office. We can vote big government off of our backs. We can vote to get quality people into the halls of government to help better make a difference in our quality of life in America. Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, and many good, conservative senators (or candidates for senator) and state representatives want to seek to make that difference happen. Real business people, not career politicians. Successful people and not failures. Someone who will salute the American flag (Barry, are you listening?). Remember the American dream? That's something that we Americans cherish, something that people from other countries previously dreamed about and fantasized about before President Poverty was voted in four years ago to mess all of that up. Face it, what's Harry Reid done, anyway? He's a nobody. I don't want nobodies running government, but rather, real people with real hearts, real ideas, and real solutions. And all without letting too much government get in the way of my personal life and yours. Government would not make me a good bed partner, but that's another post for another day.

As I've said previously, vote! As I'm writing this, you'd better hurry, because by the time you've read two paragraphs of this post, everything will have been decided. Please, folks, America needs its patriots. It needs its people who genuinely love their country and who would fight for it to no end. It needs to weed out those who wish to destroy it. We must preserve our freedoms and protect the free-market capitalist system that made America the best country in the world.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired? I hear you. May God bless America!
