I have just about had it with American Companies sending their jobs overseas. If you cannot compete because of quality and long company reputation, and have to have labor that is paid slave wages, just shut down.
It is unbelievable the junk, poison, and poor quality that China produces and yet there are still companies that have to shove the company reputation in the dumpster. Who am I talking about now?
CARHART!!!
Yes the company that cowboys, farmers, oil field hands, and many other real American workers have relied on for generations for toughness, quality, and functionality. In doing research on American made products, I have run into several companies that specialize in American made products. The story is the same. They are selling the American made Carharts until the supply is gone. The production of the Carhart products is going overseas. I have yet to find a news story about it.
It is time for AMERICANS to step up and tell these companies to go to hell! We won't buy crap made overseas as long as Americans are out of work. If it is because of Union Labor then treat your employees well enough that they don't need to collective bargan!
If we want to put America back on track then quit patronizing companies that sell the quality of our products for 30 pieces of silver!!!

I HATE POLITICS
I have before stated that I have not gotten to vote for my candidate for President of the United States since Ronald Regan. My pick long before the political season started was Herman Cain. The man is the most qualified of the entire Republican field running. But, as usual, the election is being bought and controlled by unseen forces.
A man that worked for the fire department I retired from was interested in running for County Commission after he retired. He had a backer, money promised, and lots of support. He knew where all the incompetance and, most likly, graft was located in that county.
A man from the party he belonged to came to him and stated," If you run you should know you are not the one that the party is supporting. You should visit with your wife and family and make sure that they are ready for what will be thrown at you. There will be a woman come from nowhere that will accuse you of sexual mis-conduct. No matter how it happens are you and your wife strong enough to withstand the controversy?"
Of course he was shocked and decided that he could not expose his wife and children to allegations in the press. This was only at a county level in a state that has always been strong Republican and very conservative. Any false accusations would never have too be proven and in politics you cannot sue for libel or slander.
It will come out eventually that the big money behind the current administration bought and paid for these women to come out against Herman Cain. And none of this has anything to do with the issues. We have proven socialists and communists in control of the government and any opposition will be met with inuendo and lies.
Herman was the first real leader to go after the scandulous tax system that we have and there are too many accountants, tax lawyers, lobbyists, and special interests that cannot afford to have any common sense enter Washington. Power is all consuming and we are in danger of losing the greatest country that has ever been in history.
How ironic that Burhma is being tutored by our Secretary of State about creating a free society. As they have thrown off a totalitarian government and seek to create a republic, the same group advising them are moving us away from the fundamentals of the constitution and the republic, to a socialist state with government intrusian into everyones lives.

SPELL S-T-U-P-I-D
At a time when unemployment is at stupid levels, when rural areas are threatened with loss of people, jobs, incentives, and the government is in a turmoil over it, what would you think stupid is? Close down post offices and lay off the workers!
Small towns have enough against them as it is. There are high numbers of elderly, low numbers of job opportunities, and the cost of traveling is prohibitive in these areas.
The Postal Department in their rupture of money picks on an area that only constitues .9% of their budget to cut. Even though there is a congressinal mandate to provide the service. Senators and Representatives are being bombarded with angry citizens concerns and what do they do to respond? Well lets see, as I write this on 11-8-11, on 11-9-11 the Coats, Kansas post office closes, and soon it's neighbor Sawyer. Then of course Isabel and Nashville. These residents will be forced to have service out of Spivey between 30 & 70 miles away. Yet there is enough business to keep most of these going.
Of course the mis-management of the service is always compensated not where the problems lie but where there is no way to effectivly fight back. And the job loss continues. Where is the lip service that the president, congress, and both parties at? There you go again, STUPID!
A large company that auctions livestock on line and TV has announced to their customers to send the deposits to them by FED EX or UPS because the Postal Service sometimes takes two weeks to get the deposits to them. What a state of affairs we have come to.
WASHINGTON WAKE UP instead of extending un-employment try keeping jobs active, cut rediculous interference with job creation, and keep the mandates that have been set down by congress. Cutting a little waste would help also but this requires intelligence and initiative.
I fully expect Webster to add new definitions for the word STUPID soon. Like USPS, Washington, Buraucrat, Government Intelligence.

COURAGE
COURAGE: THE QUALITY OF BEING BRAVE, VALOR. Webster
The ability to be scared to death and yet still act is one of the other definitions of courage. Courage is often ridiculed today in a world of parties, unions, pop culture. Those that dare to do the right thing or go against the popular trend of the day are often thought of as odd.
Yet we have young people that join up to serve the nation no matter where or when or the reason. To serve in a military where the Comander in Chief shows little respect other than the minimum necesary.
We have men and women that join religious organizations as clergy, teachers, lay service, and service work when the courts and ACLU claim that they cannot be proactive in their churchs or synagogues in the public view. Concepts of religion cannot be studied in schools yet paganizm, mythology, and humanism can be.
The founders of the Republic clearly stated in the Constitution that mixing church and state would not be acceptable because of choosing a state religion. There is the clause freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.
In being involved in boards, organizations, and agencies over the years it always amazed me how hard it is for them to do the right thing. Right is ignored for popular reasons, expiedient reasons, or just because that is always the way it has been done.
In todays economy there is so much talk of creating jobs and improving the economy that the fundamentals that make it work are shackled by regulation, politics, and bureaucracy.
The big banks that were infused with bailout money now set on the money and find new ways to add fees. Small banks do not seriously try to loan money without a government agency. And then the smaller banks who used to recirculate the money thru the community sell bundles of loans to the big banks.
Imagine the terror of starting a new business today. Yet 60% of new jobs come from the small business person. The risk of losing anything that you might have acumulated for a new veture is paralyising. Yet the government can go after companies who back the wrong party and cause jobs to be lost and pushed overseas.
Small town America is hurting because of the buy in too the lie of drawing talent and labor away to large urban centers just to leave them high and dry when the job goes overseas.
To continue with a tax code, that not even those who enforce it can understand. Is it any wonder that corporations move their offices to a freindly country? Everyone knows that the tax code needs to be scrapped for fairness and simpicity. Attention is focused on the top end of the economy even though they pay most of the taxes. Yet the bottom 40% pay nothing and get money from the government. They are as opposed to anything fair as the tax attorneys who would have to get a real job if the tax code is done away with.
The people who propose fairness are attacked because they are with the wrong party. Yet both parties created the mess to begin with.
I sat in on an economic meeting recently and yet thru all the mess of today, there are still those who have an idea and will create their own job in spite of what is stacked against them.
Courage comes in many sizes and shapes. Some are life threatening, some threaten livings. I always go to my favorite saying from a famous president, Teddy Roosevelt:
IT IS NOT THE CRITIC WHO COUNTS, NOT THE ONES WHO POINT OUT HOW THE STRONG MAN STUMBLED, OR WHERE THE DOER OF DEEDS COULD HAVE DONE THEM BETTER. THE CREDIT BELONGS TO THE MAN WHO'S ACTUALLY IN THE AREANA, WHOSE FACE IS MARRED BY DUST AND SWEAT AND BLOOD; WHO STRIVES VALIENTLY; WHO ERRS AND COMES UP SHORT AGAIN AND AGAIN, WHO KNOWS GREAT ENTHUSIASMS, THE GREAT DEVOTION AND SPENDS HIMSELF IN A WORTHY CAUSE; WHO AT BEST KNOWS AT THE END TRIUMPH OF HIGH ACHEIVEMNT, AND WHO AT WORST IF HE FAILS, AT LEAST FAILS WHILE DARING GREATLY. SO THAT HIS PLACE SHALL NEVER BE WITH THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY NOR DEFEAT.....

WESTERN MUSIC
I am a Western Music singer and have had the great satisfaction of just participating in a program I originated. The Western Music Association - Kansas Chapter has now put it on twice. KANSAS-HOME ON THE RANGE is the story of Kansas in song, poetry, narration, and video celebrating Kansas 150th year of statehood. All participants were Kansans, some coming back from out of state to participate. The Governor, Wichita Mayor, and 4th district Congressman were on hand to greet the crowd and kick off the show. It was evident that they all enjoyed the show. We have also gotten a lot of good comments about it.
There was a symphony that was hand picked by the conductor of the Hutchinson Symphony that provide support and a wonderful sound. At the city's request we added a group of drummers and dancers from the All American Indian Center. We also added the African American group Arise, Mexican youth Charro trick ropers, and the Asian Dance group to round out the story of immigration and the diversity of our culture.
The western artists in combination with the diverse talent created an educational and enjoyable afternoon. So now I get back to the point of this blog.
Western Music was once a part of the Nashville Country & Western. When the music industry was bought by the Japanese and Dutch they asked how we can make the most money from this industry. The answer was the pop music model from the west coast. Western, acoustic, and the other genre' that fall under the 'Western' catagory were dismissed from the major labels and modern 'country' radio.
Western and all it's components are truely the music of the people, the people of the land and the western experience. It can incorporate Bluegrass, Western Swing, Classic Country, Folk, Ethnic, Big Band, Broadway, and the traditional songs of the west. Even the movie cowboy songs are an important part of Western.
So what happened to Western? It is alive and well. There are hundreds of artists many belonging to the Western Music Association and the Academy of Western Artists. How come you don't hear them? You generally have to be at a live concert, festival, or purchase independent produced CD's and downloads.
There are two universal things that every artist hears after a show. One is, we brought our (daughter, son, granddaughter, grandson, neice, nephew, ect.) kicking and screaming to this show and when they heard the music, they loved it.
The second thing that is said is "this is the music I always loved and just forgot about". People are dictated to everytime they turn on the radio, TV, or read an industry magazine about the offerings of the mainstream industry and tell them that this is what they love. In the 50's music and radio people went to court over the paying to play certain music. This is still happening legally today because of the interdependence of the two. Is money changing hands? You bet but it goes around the law and is now 'just business'. Sounds familiar, oh yes it is from the Godfather as a person is about to be whacked they always say "it is just business not personal".
What can you do to bring back the music you love and wrestle control from the industry bosses? First you quit buying music from acts that are no more than bad rock and roll.
Second - you find artists that you love in Western and other independents and buy it.
Third - go to the shows and support Western when you can.
Fourth - and most important, call in requests for your favorite artist to the radio stations and have your friends call and create the demand that the radio will have to find the music and put it on the air.
Another thing is to tell the advertisers that you are not happy with the mix at the stations they do business with.
And the most effective with all these combined, start a petition to the radio stations, their ownership group, and the TV programs that ignore the artists for the 'Hat Acts'.
Send copies of the petitions to the Grand Ole Opry, RFD TV, CMT Network, PBS, and other networks and producers that exclude the Americana mix of Western artists.
You know there is no more effective way to affect change than with your pocket book. Money is the universal language that all those involved understand.
This is my View From the Hill.

WHAT WE LEARN OR FAIL TO LEARN
As a self styled historian(I have had a lettered historian tell me to claim the title), I have always used as my motto 'THOSE WHO IGNORE HISTORY ARE CONDEMED TO RE-LIVE IT'. As a former commisioned law enforcement officer and a private detective, I have always subscribed to the fight against illegal drugs. But time and history are slowly changing my mind.
There is probably very few who are as conservative as me but facts are facts. There has always been a small fringe group that has advocated the legalization of Marajuana. As a student of the prohibition era I have long wanted to write a book on the Kansas moonshine business, and have had encouragement. But, there are too many families and participants still alive that have discuraged me. See in Kansas we started the prohibition movement in 1880 and did not leave it until the 1950's and actually we still have remnants of it left today.
I am looking forward to Ken Burns new documentary PROHIBITION. It takes an indepth look at the whole era of National Prohibition. Are we going to learn that Prohibition gave rise to the transformation of small time criminals into huge organized crime syndicates. We learned a hard lesson too late and still have these organizations with us today. Many have actually gone mainstream and have legitimate business.
So what is the link to the drug business? We have to take all the hype and lies away from the argument and talk real results. Not one death has been attributed to using marijuana in the 70 some years of illegal status. There is an amazingly large amount of people who have used or do use in the country today. A related crop in the same genus as marijuana, Hemp, has been banned from commercial production even though it has none of the chemicals that make the illegal plant a asource of getting high. Commercial hemp has as many uses and products that can be made from it as soybeans and peanuts. But it is totally opposed by DEA for production. There is an alternative crop here that our farmers do not get to grow because of demonization and lies.
Over one third of of our prison population and court cases have to do with marijuana. We have seen millions of untaxed dollars funding the same type of organizations that rose during the prohibition period. And the really big problem is that they are worse than any group from that period.
The sad fact is that the cartels that have terrorized Mexico are here in Kansas now. Why do I say that? Common sense. Every year in late summer and fall there are pot patch raids all over the state. In the past it has been the moonshiner type of grower that is generally caught. In the raids this year there is evidence in every case that there are illegals tending the patches. There is one thing that is eirily common, no one is caught.
It has long been the disdain of the American people of the corrupt officials that permiate the Mexican governmental culture. Now there is evidence of that corruption here in our own state. It is no coincidence that no one is every arrested at the time of seizure of this years pot patches. Someone that knows what is going on is tipping off whoever is responsible for them. It remains unsaid in the media (which is real unusual) but it is evident that there is someone paid off somewhere. This is what is so alarming.
After the lessons of prohibition I am finally persuaded that you cannot legislate morals and it is high time to make the pot business controlable by legalization and taxation. I don't have to like it but there are more pressing problems today. And we don't need anymore crooked officials.

ON AND ON AND ON
It is a never ending supply of garbage. Watching TV the politics just goes on. It is maddening to watch the news media trying to manipulate the politics of this nation to their liking. It amazes me how admitted left wing commentators,(I can not call them journalists), try to push one Republican after another changing from week to week as if they know what is best for the other party and America. They had their way the last time, don't you think they would go OOPS!!!
My opinion is getting to be the rest of America's, throw the whole bunch out lock, stock, and barrel. There is never going to be any representation of the people by those who have the power to feather their own nests.
I keep getting e-mails on the 28th Ammendment. By which the pork barrel lid is nailed on. All special benefits, retirements, exemptions, and term limits apply. No special golden parachute for one term crooks who call themselves the guardians of society. Acording to Snopes this movement is a myth. WELL IT IS TIME TO MAKE IT REAL.
Our founding fathers had it right when they wanted no professional politicians. Our leaders were to be citizen legislators, serve a specified period of time, then go back to their jobs. It is high time.
When the 18 year olds were given the right to vote it only took 18 months to ammend the Constitution. The states are the only ones that can clean the mess up in Washington. Pass the 28th ammendment in 35 states and ratify and we throw the bums out with the mandate to clean up the mess.
Until the Progressives changed the law our Senators were elected by the State Legislators. We need to take back what our founders intended and what our forefathers, sons, and daughters have (and are still) dying for.
