Are we serious?


Tinker:

It is getting hard for me to believe that the American citizens were truly serious about the laws of this country that we lived by. After seeing the destruction of the American people fundamental values over the last fifty years. I am becoming more and more convince that the American people were not serious about the laws and belief's that they said they had.

Otherwise how did our federal government get this bad in Washington DC. How could the bad guys get away with taking our money, freedom, and our country's self respect.

I see a lot of the members of our two American political party's palling around with each other all the time, don't you. The politicians that we have elected laughing and joking around off camera socializing. We see that the American news media and the Washington DC politicians are very cozy with each other for the most part.

The cast of characters that we are formula with on our daily television news and talk TV shows. And that the way the news media has not confronted Barack Obama over his ideas of running the American government. This truth has also made me feel like that the American news media is really not very serious with how they are doing their job as a journalists.

In fact everything has taken on the obvious look of a well scripted sound bite made for television attraction, that the American population is well use to now as "Prime time entertainment."

Even the people going to church who seem to be very religious, don't seem to be very serious about believing in the God, that they are praying to.

Television Comedians seem to be having a very popular job talking about gotcha moments of the very hypocritical way of living in our modern American life.

So I am beginning to think that we are really not all that serious about how we live in our civilization, or in this American way of life, No! I now thing that everything in America that we the American people call entertainment is simply a ripoff.

So going along to get along and palling around with the right American people will continue to be the most social successful way to go. Who you know is much more important than what you know in the American society that we live in today, right.

The news media is always turning their cameras and microphones on the most popular front running celebrity today. Eye candy, ect...

After all who in their right mind would go through all that suffering and pain, to build up this country strong economy and way of life. George Washington and all the rest of Americas founding fathers back then already did the hard work for us. All we need to do is keep printing more money, everything is fine.

Vote Hillary Clinton, or Christ Christie, as the next president of the United States. And just keep the Republicans and Democratic party's establishment cast of television caters going on, and on. Our American children and their children will remember very clearly just how this present generation of Americans help to give them this America government that they were not so serious about to them as their American inheritance.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin Compares Federal Debt To Slavery

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: 11/10/2013 12:01 pm EST  |  Updated: 11/11/2013 12:13 am EST 
Speaking at a conservative fundraiser in Iowa on Saturday evening, former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin compared the United States' debt to slavery, claiming that younger Americans will be shackled by the country's spending.

The Des Moines Register's Jennifer Jacobs reports that Palin, speaking at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition's fall fundraiser, warned of the allure of "free stuff" offered by the government.

"This free stuff, so seductive. Why do you think marketers use free stuff to bring people in? Free stuff is such a strong marketing ploy," Palin said. "But didn't you all learn too in Econ 101 there ain't no such thing as a free lunch? Our free stuff today is being paid for by taking money from our children and borrowing from China."

Palin continued, "When that note comes due -- and this isn't racist.. but it's going to be like slavery when that note is due. We are going to be beholden to a foreign master. Because there is no plan coming out of Washington, D.C. to stop the incurrence of debt."

Watch a clip of Palin's remarks above.
 
Palin has previously invoked slavery in criticizing President Barack Obama and his policies. In March 2012, she told Fox News' Sean Hannity that Obama is "bringing us back...to days before the Civil War, when unfortunately too many Americans mistakenly believed that not all men were created equal."

"What Barack Obama seems to want to do is go back to before those days when we were in different classes based on income, based on color of skin," she said.

During the Iowa speech, Palin also took her fellow Republicans to task for not standing behind the party's conservative wing during the government shutdown fight over the Affordable Care Act.

"Remember their promise that they would do everything in their power to fight against socialized medicine, against Obamacare?" Palin said. "When it came time to stand and defund it, they waved the white flag of surrender and they threw under the bus the good guys who did stand up and fight."

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report

Well folks, LSU got it handed to them last night in a heartbreaking 38-17 loss to the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. The bottom line is that LSU was simply outplayed by an Alabama team that possesses superior talent on defense, played nearly error-free ball, and completely out-performed the Tigers in the second half. This was not a case of LSU being ill-prepared to play, or of coaching gaffes, but rather of LSU making far too many mistakes to beat the number one team in the nation, and of Alabama completely dominating the trenches while securing the ball, playing with discipline, and giving it their all for a full 60 minutes.

LSU came out hot, forced Alabama to punt on the first series, and then put together a very impressive drive that took them all the way down to Alabama’s one-yard-line before turning the ball over on J.C. Copeland’s fumble. LSU would go on to turn the ball over again in the first half, yet still found themselves trailing by only three at the break. After tying it up early in the third quarter, the Tigers had all the momentum going their way and had just stopped Alabama on third down to bring up fourth and two, and that’s where you have to give credit to Coach Nick Saban for calling a very timely fake punt that moved the chains and kept their drive alive. Alabama would go on to score on that possession and every subsequent possession except the final one when they took a knee leading by three touchdowns.

In yesterday’s report I gave you five keys to an LSU victory, and looking back on those now I see that LSU only accomplished two of the five. I said that Mettenberger would have to return to early season form and have a big game, and that LSU would have to have success on third down conversions. Well, Mettenberger did have one of his better games and ended the night 16-of-23 for 241 yards and one touchdown, and the Tigers did a good job on third downs by converting 7-of-12.

However, the Tigers failed miserably with regard to the other three keys I mentioned. I said that that the defensive middle, starting with defensive tackles Anthony Johnson and Ego Ferguson, would have to take care of business, and they did to some degree during the first half, but in the second half they had no answer for Alabama’s offense which ended the night with 193 net yards rushing and 372 yards of total offense. I also said that LSU would have to have success with their rushing game, but again LSU was beaten in the trenches and was only able to muster 43 net yards on the ground. That’s right, 43. Last, but certainly not least, I said that LSU would have to win the turnover margin, but instead LSU lost two fumbles that accounted for at least 10 points and had no takeaways in the game.

I could continue with what went wrong last night, but instead I’d like to do as I do after every game and give props to a few Tigers who had good outings. On offense, I already mentioned that Zach Mettenberger played well, and I thought that Jarvis Landry did too. Landry led the team in receptions with five for 90 yards. I was also pleased to see Travin Dural make his first career touchdown catch on a six-yard throw from Mettenberger with 0:43 remaining in the half. On defense, Lamin Barrow had a good night and ended with a team-high 11 tackles. On special teams, Odell Beckham, Jr. deserves praise for amassing 174 kickoff return yards including a great 82-yard return to Bama’s 18-yard line in the fourth quarter.

Below are a few more stats:
LSU-Alabama Boxscore Stats

Now the LSU football team, and the LSU fanbase, finds itself with a full two weeks to contemplate the loss before returning to action against a very good Texas A&M team on November 23, and that’s a difficult situation to be in. As much as last night’s loss hurts, I encourage all of you to keep your heads up. This is not the time to get down on our Tigers, or the coaching staff, as that would not help anything. What would help is a strong recruiting class, so please keep that in mind.

Stay tuned, Tiger Fans, as I will have much more on the game in the next few reports, including my weekly unit-by-unit grades.

Florida State rises to No. 2 in AP poll


Updated: November 10, 2013, 3:03 PM ET
Associated Press

Florida State Trounces Wake Forest
No. 2 Florida State improved to 9-0 on the season with a 59-3 victory over Wake Forest.Tags: Florida State, Wake Forest
Florida State is No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, the Seminoles' best ranking since 2000.

Alabama remains No. 1 and received 56 first-place votes from the media panel. But the other national championship contenders right behind the Crimson Tide took advantage of Oregon's loss to Stanford on Thursday night and moved up.

Associated Press Poll

The top five teams in the AP poll:

Bama

FSU

OSU

Baylor

Stan.
Florida State got the other three first-place votes. The Seminoles were last ranked this high during the first half of the 2000 season, the year after they won their most recent national title.

Ohio State is No. 3, followed closely by Baylor. Stanford is fifth. Oregon dropped to No. 6. The rest of the top 10 includes three more Southeastern Conference teams. No. 7 is Auburn, followed by Clemson of the Atlantic Coast Conference, Missouri and Texas A&M.

The BCS standings, which do not take into account the AP poll, will be released Sunday night and are expected to have a similar order.

Notre Dame and Texas Tech dropped out of the rankings after losses and No. 23 Texas and No. 25 Georgia moved back in.

The Top 25 had 59 voters instead of its usual 60 because one of the voters was on a mandatory one-week furlough by his media outlet.

Dolphins' team 'culture' is fractured

November, 10, 2013
By James Walker | ESPN.comThis might be the norm for the Miami Dolphins, but this is simply not normal.

The Dolphins, according to suspended guard Richie Incognito, have a workplace environment in which threats, vulgar language and racial slurs are accepted.

"All this stuff coming out, it speaks to the culture of our locker room, it speaks to the culture of our closeness, it speaks to the culture of our brotherhood," Incognito said in an interview with Fox Sports on Sunday. "And the racism, the bad words, that's what I regret most. But that is a product of the environment."

Closeness? Brotherhood?

Incognito went public Sunday, defending himself against bullying accusations from teammate Jonathan Martin. According to Incognito, threatening each other and using vulgar language and epithets was the nature of their relationship -- Incognito portrayed it as a friendship -- and it went both ways.

Jeff Ireland
AP Photo/Wilfredo LeeDolphins GM Jeff Ireland assembled a team that suffers from deficient locker room leadership.
Martin eventually snapped, left the team on Oct. 28 and hired high-powered attorney David Cornwell. The NFL is investigating both parties.

Regardless of what side you're on, here is something everyone should be able to agree on: The Dolphins' culture is broken.

This is a locker room with no decorum or code of conduct. There are no standards, and Dolphins players went overboard. "I've taken stuff too far," Incognito, one member of the team’s six-player leadership council, admitted Sunday.
