So let's see, he didn't attend Civic Group functions; he didn't hand-hold the Lt. Gov Jennifer Carroll and he didn't do enough televised debates; so did I hit the big ones that the Florida Times Union put out on the front page of the Sunday paper.
How about the fact that like Bill McCullum he thought he was chosen one? How about the fact that he didn't have a vison on where the city was headed? Maybe he just took Republicans and Conservatives for granted that we wouldn't vote for a young black man? Here we have a guy who didn't want to debate the issues, didn't seemingly want to do anything but take our money and say it was his turn and he expected to get our vote? Note to Mike Hogan...whatever it's like to live in your world isn't reality. I know you've been pulling a paycheck from us the voters for 20 years and so it seems you thought we'd allow it to contine when you didn't even ask us for our vote. Here's another note, your Grandchildren are cute but ineffective or did you get the idea from that miserable excuse for a Toyota Dealer? If you're wondering who I'm talking about that's for another day though I'm sure he's making big bucks as was Mike Hogan since he pulled in over a third more than Mayor Elect Brown too bad he didn't bother to turn that into votes.
You know, that sounds pretty nice; Mayor Elect Alvin Brown, don't you think Mike?
The Time Union compared Mr. Brown to a former candidate Mr. Glover who, though he had name recognition just couldn't get the white, conservatives and Regan Dems to swing his way...here's the reason...his message! Glover wasn't interested, or seemingly so, in the old white parts of town. Mr. Brown not only was interested but went after our sense that things aren't right witht he city every part of it and told us how he wanted to fix or at least try to start the process.
I give the Times Union credit, not only did you back the winner but then you rubbed salt into the wound by explaining why Mike Hogan lost. I guess you guys won't be on his Christmas card list this year.
One more item...Mayor Elect Brown, just because you've been given our vote doesn't mean we're blind and won't remember your platform, word for word, so follow through or if Donal Duck runs on a Disney (Mickey Mouse) platform he'll be the NEXT Mayor.

Netanyahu KO's O'Bama
It was counter blows and most of all, it was his stately, "I'm a real leader" presence that had even the hardest left-wing O'Bama supporters standing and applauding his speech to the US Congress today. Though President O'Bama has called for Israel to pull back to 1967 borders Prime Minister Netanyahu has said, with the conviction of a man pushed too far, a resounding "NO." that echoed throughout the House chamber. He spoke of his nation being a free land but he wouldn't allow borders to be drawn that would make it so narrow that the Washington beltway was wider.
He spoke of giving up land to create a home for the Palestinian people but not one that was armed or ruled by the hand of Hezbolla or as he called it "the Palestinian Alqueda." Furthermore he said they must be disarmed for a missle launched by the Palestinians would only allow for a sixty-second response time to find shelter. He asked if the members our Congress would want to live like that? Obviously not.
On Sean Hannity's radio show many of his callers were saying that here we have a leader and would it be possible to have Netanyahu run for President on the GOP ticket? I too have to wonder whatever happened to the patriotism that we once had? Whatever happened to the Candidates who spoke of National Unity and Strength? Have we grown into a country that only has sheep for leaders? When did we forget that Pride in one's own Country is a Good thing? And I can hear it now, "Oh but we must be understanding." CRAP!!! How did that pacifism work out for Neville Chamberlain. Leo Trotsky and Jimmy Carter? I seem to remember Hitler just moved on into Poland, Stalin exiled and then killed Trotsky and it was the threat of Ronald Reagan becoming President that freed the hostages. Maybe "Cowboy Diplomacy" does work after all.
Here is a nation that is surrounded by people who's sole goal is the eradication of them from the face of the Earth. To finish what Hitler and others had started but they face it with attitude and defiance as if to say..."bring it on" and that takes something that seems to be lost here in our nation; Courage, Faith and Conviction of Principles. Our next President or those who want to be the next leader of the free world, should watch PM Netanyahu and emulate his, Courage, Faith and Conviction and then maybe we could be a true Super Power again.

The O'Bama Israel
Apparently President O'Bama has his own idea of what Israel should be...maybe in the back of his mind the word is "Extinct"! He wants the only TRUE ally we have in the Middle East to disappear, oh but slowly, one mile at a time. Where else in the center of a city, the corner of a nation or the entire world is a small group fighting for their existance while all those around them are looking to cease that existance? Somebody please enlighten me on this one.
Ed Koch was quoted on Newsmax recently as saying..."“This is the most dangerous and critical period that Israel has ever faced and regrettably it does not have the support of the President of the United States.” Here's a Leftwing Liberal who probably has NEVER voted for a Republican or even a Conservative in his life considering switching parties over President O'Bama's policy toward Israel and albeit me to agree with someone so far left but I do, he's right. If a Republican would take a stance like this I'd vote for the Democrat, Independant or someone other than the Conservative.
I've been to Israel and for all the guns floating around every corner these people love life and liberty, sometimes more than Americans do I think and they guard it with a passion. These people treated me, a military member, like I was back in the states; I even had one family inivite me to dinner to show their appreciation for just being American. Now I don't know ANY other country where that would happen even here, though I'd like to believe it would.
Israel has stood behind us, supported us, as we have them but they've also taken heat when we had our hands dirty, they were the ones who took the blame. Who goes against loyalty like that? Oh our own President O'Bama, that's who.
He's appologized for us being the last Big Kid on the block to ALL of the Middle East and so throwing our actual friend Israel into the volcano of Middle Eastern Hate doesn't surprize me. And the people in Deleware tell me Biden would be worse, HOW?!!!!
So in the next election he may have gained the Illegal, I mean Mexican Border Crosser, vote but he lost every Jewish-American Democrat, Republican or Independant vote. Oh yeah and those who support our relationship with Israel, though we weren't going to vote for him anyway.
After the most recent events in the whole of the Middle East and OUR President's continuous poor policies regarding the region I have to wonder, will Israel exist if President O'Bama is reelected?
Just asking the question.

A Highschool Education & Reality
The reality is, not every child is going to learn in school. I personally know of a first year teacher who is not interested in teaching because the Guidence Department, his Supervisor and the Parents want him NOT to fail a student who is doing just that, FAILING! The teacher says the student does “Nothing” in his class but he’s being pushed to give him passing grades as to move this kid through the system. Wonderful, that’s terriffic no wonder our kids graduate and can’t read or do basic Math. The kid is LAZY, borderline a thug and his Parents think it’ll effect his self worth if he doesn’t pass his Math class.
To all parties involved…MOVE TO MEXICO! If the kid wants to be lazy fine do it somewhere else…okay maybe FRANCE; though Sarkozy won’t necessarily like that one and the parents probably won’t pay for the airfare. It just gripes my butt when this happens and the Teachers get the blame for this LAZY, UNMOTIVATED and UNINVOLVED student with parents on the same level.
Here’s another one that I heard from the mother herself…”Black children just don’t learn or take tests like normal children.” Get this, mother and son are BLACK and she’s in the Education system in Florida. Hey lady your kid either steps up or he can go sweep out the restrooms or do the dishes at Micky D's, though he may be underqualified since he can’t learn like other kids…WHAT OTHER KIDS! Are you saying black people are inferior to other kids? Let’s see I seem to remember some quite intelligent black people or haven’t YOU ever heard of President O’Bama, Colin Powell, or Herman Cain? I guess you didn’t learn about them either.
When do we stop dumbing down the qualifications to graduate High School? When do we stop working with the lowest common denomination and set the bar higher; MAKE THEM STEP UP or FAIL! You might be surprized how few will actually fail. Kids and adults achieve as our expectations of them are set. If you want someone to achieve you must understand they either take what you say as the truth or they cast it off as a challenge to their ability either way it works. Hey I hear they need people to pick oranges in Florida.

Jacksonville's New Mayor
So we waited and Jacksonville has a new Mayor Elect Alvin Brown. I can't pick them all but this was I did, okay it was a 50/50 shot and I chose the better of the 2 for the sake of Jacksonville. There are those celebrating the first black man and a Democrat; doesn't that mean he's an O'Bama wanna be? No, it doesn't mean anything other than he rode the Democratic ticket. My wife, a registered Democrat, often makes me look like I voted for Hillary Clinton so the moniker here in the south means nothing.
Congrats Mr. Brown now go out and do what you campaigned on to make us Conservatives vote for you...Lower Taxes, Less Government and you taking not only a pay cut but NO Pension.

French Politics
Now before you think I sound like Oliver Stone, just consider the following scenario.
Here we have a the head of the IMF (International Monetary Fund) who is both the potential front-runner to challenge Nikolas Sarkozy for the position of President of France and a known womanizer. Just to be clear France is going back to a Market Economy with Sarkozy either pulling the plug or slowly eliminating many government programs that are sinking the French economy. And who appears on the horizon but a challenger that is a hard-line Socialist and would cancel many, if not all, the reforms Sarkozy has implemented.
On a given night recently this Socialist is doing what he's known for, aggressive sexual encounter with a member of the hotel staff who actually presses charges and suddenly others have come out and are filing suit against him.
How convenient that the one man who could defeat Sarkozy is suddenly at Ryker's Island rooming with the best scum New York City can incarcerate. Maybe, just maybe he picked on the wrong woman, a New York girl or maybe there's a bank account in a place of her choosing compliments of Sarkozy's long arm; though I'm sure he has enough layers between him and the incident to deny anything like I've just presented.
You don't get to be President, even of France without knowing how to dodge a few landmines, especially when you're trying to save your nation from economic failure.

Jacksonville Waits
So the citizens of Jacksonville, Florida await word of their new Mayor. Early on Mike Hogan was ahead by such a margin that many of his supporters left his campaign early...to bad they didn't stay. Sometime before ten the numbers suddenly got a whole lot closer...three votes separated the candidates but Hogan was still in the lead but the lead was cut to just 3 votes with 98% reporting. It looked like everything hinged on the absentee ballots and those who had voted at a different precinct other than the one they were registered. Then just after 11 that night the final 2% reported in and suddenly Alvin Brown was now in the lead with 614 votes.
Here we have Hogan supported by the Tea Party, raising almost twice what Brown has and yet these candidates are a handful of votes apart. Could it be that the Tea Party picked the wrong career politician? Nah, they wouldn't pick a 20 plus politician to back, or would they? They did and he's on the edge of losing or sliding by with a win. Maybe the voters know something the Tea Party doesn't, Jacksonville deserves better and they just might get it.
