Oh my, it seems Michelle is quite sexy-swag-misguided regarding the American Man. Here Michelle, allow me to explain what is truly sexy about a real red-blooded American man:

An American man is truly sexy when he spends more time with his kids than his caddie.

An American man is truly sexy when he leads from the front and saves the behind for other endeavors.

An American man is truly sexy when he does not avoid directly answering questions and does not get his panties in a bunch doing so.

An American man is truly sexy when he lifts up his fellow Americans and is not derisive or divisive.

An American man is truly sexy when he values truth over agenda.

An American man is truly sexy because he does not even try to be cool or hip; he just is.

An American man is truly sexy when he knows who he is and is not afraid to be fully himself, not a “blank slate.”

An American man is truly sexy when he shows he loves his imperfect country and does not want to fundamentally change it into something unrecognizable.

An American man is truly sexy when he takes responsibility for his actions and does not blame others for his own shortcomings.

An American man is truly sexy when he surrounds himself with morally upright friends, not haters, terrorists, or other subversive types.

An American man is truly sexy when he handles a gun like an old, familiar lover, not a photo op.

An American man is truly sexy when he’s happy for others’ success, not envious.

An American man is truly sexy when he values substance over style.

An American man is truly sexy when he values victims, soldiers and first-responders as the heroes they are, not props to further his agenda.

An American man is truly sexy when sleeping is the last thing he’d do when his fellow patriots are under attack for over 7 hours.

An American man is truly sexy when he does not have Daddy-issues and a chip on his shoulder because he knows where he came from, who he is, and what he stands for.

An American man is truly sexy when he does not confuse arrogance with confidence.

An American man is truly sexy when he speaks from the heart, not the teleprompter.

An American man is truly sexy when he actually wants to vacation with his family and does so.

An American man is truly sexy when he can expertly throw a baseball and make more than 2 baskets.

An American man is truly sexy when he can admit he’s wrong and then change his mind.

An American man is truly sexy when he leads with the example of hard work, not entitlement.

An American man is truly sexy when he teaches others to fish because he believes they are capable.

An American man is truly sexy when he knows the content of his character is more important than the color of his skin.

An American man is truly sexy when he knows he does not have to tear down others in order to build up himself.

An American man is truly sexy when he sees the individual and not a label or interest group.

An American man is truly sexy when he keeps his promises and can be trusted.

Sorry Michelle, but your husband is just NOT sexy…..and the only swag he regularly sports is the sad sag of his Mom Jeans.

Adam Lanza Is Not My Son

As with most tragedies, people are searching for a neat little answer to what caused the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut. Why did yet another quiet, smart young man suddenly snap taking 26 innocent people’s lives. We may never know exactly what Adam Lanza’s motives were and they may not really matter in the long run if they were the product of his disturbed mind.

Troubling, though hidden within the horror coming out of the shooting, is an undercurrent of blame and fear regarding mental illness. That’s to be expected, of course, as we have numerous reports of all the usual suspects in the shooter’s history:  Adam was mentally unstable, he was a loner, he was a genius, he had Autism or Aspergers, he was odd, he came from a broken home, he was never in trouble with the law, he didn’t have any close friends. In short, Adam had “issues.”

Catch those numerous references to Autism and Aspergers in the media lately? I have. And however odd Adam was, it is very important we do not allow the media to equate Autism or Aspergers (ASD) with mental illness or with being the cause of such terrible actions. Are kids with ASD docile, nonviolent sheep? Of course not. Do kids with ASD frequently get frustrated and have meltdowns and difficulty regulating their emotions? Absolutely, in fact you would also if everything was too loud, too scratchy, too bright, too smelly, and too stressful every moment of every day. Does ASD cause kids to steal guns, murder their mother and 26 kids and teachers, and then commit suicide? Not even remotely likely.

How do I know this? I know because I am the mother of a teen son with Aspergers and I’ve personally lived with Aspergers and its effects on my family and relationships for over 30 years. Thus, after the Sandy Hook shooting, it was with great interest and trepidation that I read Liza Long’s blog post “I am Adam Lanza’s Mother.” Interest because I”m always willing to learn more about Autism, but trepidation because I’ve been at this long enough to know the ugly side of some parents who look to ‘fix” their kids with ASD.

Don’t get me wrong, I realize more than most, one never knows the whole story of a family’s journey with Autism. I’m the last to judge a fellow burned-out mother who, exhausted, throws in the towel, but parental judgement can be akin to getting in trouble for fighting back when you were a kid. The teacher–in this case the media–only sees the time you hit back not the 1,000 times beforehand that you kept it together. In other words, it’s easier for the media to judge us parents of kids with ASD–or true mental illnesses–for that one horrific day, than it is to understand our lives with our kids in their entirety.

While it had to be heartrendingly difficult for Liza Long to leave her son Michael at the psychiatric hospital, it wasn’t her choice that made me catch my breath. It was her statement after her detailed descriptions of several violent encounters with her son:

We still don’t know what’s wrong with Michael. Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder have all been tossed around…

There it was. In this article, still one more reference I’d seen equating Autism as what was “wrong” or causing her son Michael to behave violently and in turn, Adam, the Sandy Hook shooter, to murder his mother and innocent 5-6 year old kids and teachers. Yes, Liza Long did what we all say needs to be done–she removed her son from society so he couldn’t hurt anyone–so he wouldn’t be the next Adam Lanza, but in writing that article, Liza Long lumped ASD in with mental illness–just as so many others in the media have done.

Imagining what those kids and teachers went through and what the families are going through now is horror enough, but the media  continues to add to the mix the misguided idea that Autism or Aspergers may have caused this tragedy. This is completely false, thoroughly ignorant, and hurtful to those of us with loved ones who have ASD or those who have Autism or Aspergers themselves.

Autism and Aspergers are not mental illnesses. It’s already hard enough for our kids with ASD to navigate through life. We don’t need the media to treat them as if they’re ticking time bombs or mentally disturbed. Instead, it’s high time the media focused on how the mental health system has failed to identify and remove for treatment disturbed individuals like Adam Lanza. All over this country well-intentioned parents are struggling daily to deal with kids like Michael Long who terrify them. It is, indeed time for an open and frank national discussion about mental illness.

I do feel deep sympathy for the families of Newtown, Connecticut, and Liza and Michael Long too, but I also feel deeply for Nancy Lanza, Adam’s mother. I’m certain she loved her son and did all she could to help him, however Adam Lanza proved to be a very disturbed young man haunted by some very serious mental conditions that transformed him into a homicidal monster who shot her to death–clearly Autism and Aspergers were not the cause of his transformation or actions.

That’s why I know my son with Aspergers is not Adam Lanza–he never will be.

Choosie Leftys Choose Parasites

As I watch the physical assault of tolerance placed on Steven Crowder, I can’t help but hear the echoing irony of the first man Steven interviews who calls Right To Work people  ”parasitical” freeloaders simply because they don’t want to be forced to pay Union dues . Hmmm, sounds awfully familiar as in:  Hypocrisy much, Lefty Union thugs?

I mean c’mon dude, the Left forces American taxpayers to pay for everything in this country, including the 50% of non-tax-paying-parasitical-Obamaphone-using Freeloaders. If Lefty Union thugs care so much about about fairness and people not getting the benefits of things they haven’t paid for, where’s their outrage about Welfare, Food Stamps, fraudulent Disability claims, loan forgiveness, Illegal Immigration, Voter fraud, Tax evasion, Foreign aid, government bailouts, etc.?

The truth is, like most things the Left holds dear, the Right to Work fight isn’t about fairness; it’s all about power. The Left wields tremendous political power through unions by funneling money through them to the Democrat party. That’s why choosie Leftys chose Obama parasites and not freedom-loving, hardworking people who just want to work without having to support the Leftist agenda.

Perhaps if the oh-so-hefty Union thug who kept screaming, “Shut the f*ck up” at Steven Crowder could take his own advice, and listen to Steven–and stop stuffing his face with BigMacs–he’d not look like a walking stereotypical White Male Union FatCat. He’s the embodiment of all things wrong in the unionified work world. It doesn’t look like this FatCat has done much actual work in years–if ever:  he very likely sucks out a huge salary for riding a desk, taking long breaks, spending union money on trips and other self-serving, non-productive “work.” Talk about parasitical.

 

 

I Hear America Dying

I Hear America Dying as inspired by I Hear America Singing–Walt Whitman 1819-1892

I hear America dying, perhaps Liberty’s last gasp I hear,

Those of entitled malingerers, lamenting things are not as they should be,

effort-free and unearned,

The Welfare cheat paying in stamps, driving away in a Lexus, a Beamer,

The chronically unemployed cashing 99 checks unmotivated,

hardly trying to find work, idle

The Phone Lady screeching “If we help him. He’ll give us mo’,”

the parasitic example held up as desirable and just,

The over-educated, under-qualified college graduate complaining as he sits

on his mother’s couch, unwilling to take the starter job,

The skilled carpenter’s lament, or the laid-off painter’s worry on the morning bus,

empty lunchbox at noon, and hungry wife and child at night,

The despair of the lonely children fending for themselves,

as teen baby-mamas languish in poverty, as absent baby-daddies go scot-free,

The insidious envy and jealousy sewn by politicians, relentless warfare,

always wanting, lacking,

Each demanding “fairness” for what belongs to me or you,

The citizens’ rights usurped by the trespassers—on street, hostile gangs,

punks, replace family, self-worth traded for false bravado,

cursing Truth with open mouths, closed hearts, empty hands taking and taking.

I hear America dying, perhaps Liberty’s last gasp, I fear.

Andrea you don’t speak for suburban moms

Leave a comment

Losing her voice and credibility.

During a live broadcast of the Romney/Ryan VP announcement, veteran NBC White House Correspondent Andrea Mitchell lost her voice and what little credibility she may have still had. (link below)

As the energized crowd cheered in the background, Mitchell opined that the VP pick of Paul Ryan was “not a pick for suburban moms. This is not a pick for women. This is a pick for the base.”

Well Andrea, obviously you’ve been too busy memorizing the Obama Campaign talking points to spend any time at all in the suburbs talking to real moms like me. You don’t speak for this suburban mom.

If you had talked to suburban moms, you’d know we want–more than anything else–for our children have a shot at a life of individual independent success–NOT a life on the government dole. To do this, we also know our country MUST survive as our founders believed it should–with a government RESTRAINED.

You’d know suburban moms believe a family MUST live within its means. Yet, Andrea, we see Obama spending us, our children, and grandchildren into a massive deficit that will limit the lives of our kids in painful, debilitating, and REAL ways. Abraham Lincoln knew “you cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn” and suburban moms know this too.

Andrea, if you’d spent any time at all with suburban moms, you’d know we have the fabled “Mom Radar” capable of spotting BS even when it’s given with a smooth smile and slick talk. Make no mistake Andrea, we suburban moms see Obama giving the same tired speeches full of rhetoric and deception; our BS Radar is on high alert.  We moms expect truth and respect from our kids, so why would we accept anything less from our president? Actions DO speak louder than words. Substance IS better platitudes Andrea.

You may think you speak for us by parroting Obama Campaign talking points Andrea, but you DO NOT speak for ME or for other suburban moms who love this country, our families, and TRUTH. I, like many other moms will confidently and happily vote for the Romney/Ryan ticket so we can get back to the business of raising our kids to be hardworking, productive Americans.
