Super Sunday?

So from the start of the post season I was not really following football as I did in the regular season. Being a Saints fan I knew my team had little to no shot at the super bowl. So when it was decided that the Super Bowl would be the Stealers against the Cardinals. Surprisingly I found North Carolina has a lot of Stealers fans. I was not partial to either team. Well at first I wasn't until I was sent this e-mail.

KURTIS THE STOCK BOY AND
       BRENDA THE CHECKOUT GIRL


       In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice
       came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4.  Kurtis was
       almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the
       call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the
       new check-out girl was beautiful.  She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was
       only 22) and he fell in love.

       Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to find
       out her name. She came into the break room, smiled  softly at him, took her card
       and punched out, then left.  He looked at her card, BRENDA.  He walked out only
       to see her start walking up the road.  Next day, he waited outside as she left
       the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she
       accepted.  When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again,
  &nb sp;    outside of work.  She simply said it wasn't possible.

       He pressed and she explained she had two children and she couldn't afford a
       baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for the baby-sitter.  Reluctantly she accepted
       his offer for a date for the following Saturday.  That Saturday night he arrived
       at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go with him. The
       baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well,
       let's take the kids with us."

       She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but aga in not
       taking no for an answer, he pressed.  Finally Brenda, brought him inside to meet
       her children.  She had an older daughter Jessie, who was just as cute as a bug, Kurtis
       thought, then Brenda brought out her son, Zachary in a wheelchair.  He was born a
       paraplegic with Down Syndrome.

       Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't
       come with us?"  Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman
       with two kids, especially if one had disabilities - just like her first husband
       and father of her children had done.  Kurtis was no t ordinary - - - he had a
       different mindset.

       That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the
       movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him.  When he
       needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and
       brought him back.  The kids loved Kurtis.  At the end of the evening, Brenda
       knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life
       with.

       A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted Jessie and Zachary.
 ;       Since then Brenda and Kurtis have added five children of their own:  sons

       Elijah and Kade, daughter Jada, and twin girls Sierra Rose and Sienna Rae.


       So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?  Well,
       Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently employed
       as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his
       Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the Super Bowl.  Is this a
       surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was not an ordinary person.

       Both Brenda and Kurt are active born-again Christians.

       It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.

       He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's

       Most Valuable Player.

 After reading this I became a Kurt Warner. I also have the fact that I was born phoenix Arizona on my side. Now I am not saying I am going to be a Cardinals fan from now on but for this super bowl I was. So as the clock drew close to halftime I was getting rather excited. As the score was sitting at 10-7 Stealers I was on the edge of my seat and ready to cheer as I watched Kurt Throw another touchdown. Than it came... Harrison with an interception for a 100 yard return. To some was a great historic super bowl play, I saw the team I was rooting for going down in flames.

The third brought no good signs with the only score coming from the stealers. Now The Cardinals could have made history in the 4th if they had come back. No team in Super Bowl history has come back from more than 10 points. Unfortunately even with 16 points in the 4th the Cardinals scored their last touchdown about a minute early. 

Although I did not like the outcome of the game I still thought it was alright. Not as good as last years though but still something fun to watch. If Kurt does come back next year I will definitely watch him a little closer now. But if he does not return to the game I am sure he will continue giving back to the troops and to charities everywhere.  I hope you enjoyed the game it was definitely a thriller in the end.

why conservative?

In the last month I have had more people challenge my beliefs than I could count. Obviously the tides have turned and most of our nation is liberal now. In the last month we have all seen the democrats take control in the house, senate, and as the president. I am tired of people challenging my view points when their points seem completely irrational to me. So why am I a conservative and why do I despise Obama? I will tell you.

I will start simple, $ 10,668,819,742,627. You may be wondering what is that ghastly number. That my friends is the national debt. Now to make my next point make sense I will explain it simply for you. Lets say you have a credit card. You get so excited over this card you spend excessively and find yourself $15,000 in debt and with the growing interest you can't keep spending and possibly pay off the debt. What do you do? If you are smart you cut back on spending, you don't eat out anymore, you stop going to movies, you stop buying anything you don't need to survive. Talking to a bank about finding a good way to pay back your debt and working on that is a great plan. If you follow liberal politics though you will do the opposite. You will run out and get 4 more credit cards and Max ALL OF THEM out spending most of it on irrelevant stuff. This is the bailout. A ONE Trillion dollar proposal that will "fix our economy!" or will it? 

The democrats golden boy, Obama, seems to think "There is no disagreement that we need action by our government, a recovery plan that will help to jumpstart the economy." For some reason everyone believes him. In fact though "200 top economic minds signed a national ad published in The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal against the trillion dollar spending binge proposed by democrats." The 200 top economic minds say it will not work! But Obama knows what he is doing right? He is doing something no other president has done so it will work right? More government spending by Hoover and Roosevelt did not pull the United States economy out of the Great Depression in the 1930s. More government spending did not solve Japan’s “lost decade” in the 1990s. As such, it is a triumph of hope over experience to believe that more government spending will help the U.S. today. OH well is seems other did try... This is another problem, repeating history. If it failed before why would it work now. This "Stimulus" is nothing more than a huge shopping list that liberals have been trying to get passed for years. Is giving billions of dollars to ACORN a group accused of voter fraud really going to stimulate the economy? No but it is giving back to the people who helped Obama win and obviously Obama has no morals by electing a new security  of treasury who committed tax Fraud! 

I am still trying to figure out how giving millions of dollars to STD prevention, Condoms, and Abortions in our nation and in OTHERS will help get us out of debt. The point of this bill is to stimulate the economy right? So shouldn't we focus on that instead of wasting money making sure Kenya can get abortions? 

If you have not wondered about the election day yet think about it. Who partied harder than the U.S.? oh thats right Kenya! Now why would they do so if we elected our president they have never done so in the past... Oh that is right it is because our president is focusing on nations like kenya just as much as our own. He is worried they wont get condoms and abortions yet it seems he has forgotten about the economy here in america.

That for me is enough reason alone not to be a liberal... That is why I don't understand how anyone could possibly be one... I will continue though. To truly fix the economy I do think cutting all taxes and a LOT of government spending for two months will help. The average american will save thousands of dollars and what will they do with it? Most likely spend it and the money will eventually reach places that if the government stops wasting money on useless programs like fixing global warming they will be able to really fix this national debt. 

I do like having a hypocrite for president though. I remember him saying on his campaign trail "we need to stop driving our big SUV's and turn down our thermostats to save energy and the environment." So why Mr. Obama have you turned up the thermostat in your oval office so warm you can't wear a coat in there? Your from Hawaii thats right... But didn't you just live the last twenty years in Chicago. But your suit back on and look professional. If a worker and Mcdonalds showed up without their uniform they would get fired same should go for you! Look professional your only representing our nation.

Do you remember when Obama said - “You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.

And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough Humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.”

 He really made me believe he liked the military. Only it was a lie because now he is making the armed forces cut their spending by $50 BILLION. While on the other hand he wastes ONE TRILLION on condoms and hand outs to law breakers and illegal immigrants. I really do wonder how he plans on defending this nation. "HEY don't attack us we will give you free condoms" sounds like a safe plan to me.

Now you might be saying well he is better than bush? Is he really? But didn't help people in new orleans? Really do you think Bush didn't help? I saw people rushing there as soon as it struck. I saw people who were evacuated in my city of san antonio shortly after. The only reason you think Bush did not help was because the media told you so. The media made you believe Bush was this horrible person. WAIT There has been a 5 day storm in Kentucky this week. People are literally on deaths door step. Has Fema shown up? no... Has Obama done anything... no. Is the news making a big deal of it? no Because they are liberal and wouldn't want one of their kind to look bad.

I would tell you how Bush did a great job with 9/11 and the war in Iraq but if your not questioning your liberal beliefs now than you will most likely ignore that two. I really think the only people supporting this government are people living off of government money and very ignorant people. In 4 years when the only change is bad (at this point I can say it will be cause he is off to a terrible start) you will most likely still support him. I don't mind because I know the only way to fix this country is through some conservative policies and hopefully if we can survive long enough too we will fix it.
