- The fight ends when you give up.
- Go beyond the propaganda. Learn the truth. Search for the truth.
- Why does the government believe they have the right to my money and give it to others in the name of charity?
- What does the FDA know? Every body is different. No two bodies run/operate the same.
- How much regulation do you want? Countries in Europe, such as Austria, if the company needs overtime to meet customer's demands, you have to go to the government for approval.
- If we give pets rights, do they also some responsibilties like paying taxes?
- I wish I had a nickel for every time a politician told a lie. I'd be richer that Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Oprah combined.
- If you are going into politics, have thick skin. Please also have common sense.
- I believe if you are going to work with a government budget, you should go through Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. Learn to live within what we give you.
- Finally, for now, unions have outdated themselves. They no longer help the worker, they help politicians instead.

What I'd Change When I'm President
I announced earlier on Twitter that I'm running for president in 2016. I'm qualified by the constitution. I will be at least 35 years old. I am a natural born citizen of the United States of America. And I lived in the U.S. for the last 14 years.
As any other person running for office, I have to have a platform. So here are just some of the things I would like to change about the country I love so much.
One of the things I would like to change is the 17th amendment. You know this one. Its where federal senators are elected by popular vote instead of being elected by the state senate. Therefore, quieting the states' voice in Washington DC. This against what the founders wanted. I believe whole-heartedly that this has been nothing but a downwhirl spiral since put in place. Hopefully that will help restore some state sovereignity.
I would get rid of K Street (lobbyists). They do nothing but help turn this once free market society into a fascist one. Plus, it would cut down on some scandals. Just a thought.
Another thing I'd like to do is trim the social programs. I don't believe its the government job to do anything in the social market. I raised with the 'Sink or Swim' mentality. I believe that how America became great. We didn't roll over at the first sign of hard work or trials.
I would take a weed whacker to the roots of the over-reaching bureaus that former presidents have put in place. They are suffocating our freedoms slowly like a boa constrictor.
One big thing I'd like to change is the congress pay & health care. I believe that congress should get paid the same as an enlisted military person. Speaker of the House & Majority Senate Leader should get paid no more than a 1 star general. These people are not being put out on the front lines, so why should they get paid better then the ones that are? Then, on top of that, when they get voted out, they get the same benefits of veterns. They get to go to VA type hospitals, VA type retirement facilities, and the same respect that most of them showed Vietnam vets.
This is a short list, but its a start. Please share your thoughts with me. I'm also starting my own hashtag, #BWings2016. It might change, but I got a few years. Peace & Blessings.

How do you describe an American?
Written by an Australian Dentist
To Kill an American
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is.. So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, Arab, Pakistani or Afghan.
An American may also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans..
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan .. The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion.. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming to speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous
land in the history of the world..
The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness..
An American is generous.. Americans have helped out just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan ..

The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11, 2001, earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must. Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world.. But, in doing so, you would just be killing yourself. Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.
