qualifications to be president of the usa.

with the nomination of barach and sarah, there has been a lot a talk about what qualifies one to be president of the greatest nation in the history of this planet. i would like to give my humble opinion. I don't think that many people with agree with me, but i think that i am right.



there are just certain thing in life that you cannot be prepared for, but there are character traits in people that can be predictors on how they will handle the job. being a parent for example. no matter how many degrees one has from an ivy league university, they are no more prepared to be a mommy or a daddy than a high school drop out. however, a deep set moral core and a set of traditional values can greatly determine the success of a new parent.



these values are what i believe to be the very thing that would qualify someone to be the president of the usa. not one person can teach you to be the pres of the vp. there has only been 43 people that have ever been there to give you first hand experience. (witch is the best type of person to teach on a subject.) but even if one could make it possible to gather all 43 presidents in one room and teach barach obama everything that they learned while being the president, that would do him no good. he is missing the core attributes that would make him a good person to lead. he would need to change his whole system of values.



barach obama would, i believe, make the wrong choices in any new or old situation presented in front of him. no matter how many facts he has at his disposal, because he looks though an anti-american prism he will choose poorly. he has been educated at the best schools this nation has to offer. and to me that means nothing.



the president of the usa is faced with choices that have never been presented to another human before each month. 911 for example was something that could not have ever been predicted. no group of people could have taught president bush how to handle that situation. the center of his belief system is what guilded him through that time. and i happen to believe he has made the right choices.



if there is an argument out there about experience or time spent is what qualifies a person to be a leader, the arguers obviously have never had to lead. i have had leadership positions, small but still, and i don't care how much i would have watched others do it, or read about it, or studied or worked in a lesser capacity, i would not have been prepared. what did prepare me was something that was already inside of me. the things that prepared me had nothing to do with on the job training. it was strong decisions that i made a long time ago about how i was going to look at life. it was my ability to trust others to do their job and know that they were competent.


sarah palin in my opinion is far more prepared to be the president of the united states than barach obama is to be a scout master. this nation cannot afford the policies of bary or his vp. not only the nation my me personally. my wallet is not deep enough for him to raise taxes like he wants to. bary don't think that you or i are smart enough to spend our own money. he wants to take it from us and spend it for us. he lacks that moral center that a leader needs. he lacks trust in you and i to do what is right. he does not think we are smart enough.

people that work in washington have more interns and educated advisers working for them than we know. they are given more info about every subject than they can come close to reading. they don't need to know everything about everything, they just need a filter to look through to make the right decisions. and that filter should be conservatism. it works every time it is tried.

last snow season, dad and i wanted to try to make it from dry fork to his cabin by going around the top of the mountains on our sleds. long story short we didn't even come close. couldn't even find the trail. so today heidi deegan and i went looking for the trail from the opposite side that dad and i did on our snowmobiles. it was a good day. my poor cracker got the crap kicked out of it going down the rockiest roads on the planet. we stopped a mile sort of the end of the road and walked the rest of the way. at the end of the road deegan and heidi wanted to wait while i went to look at some stuff. i got lost while i was out there but made it through the knee deep mud and pooring rain to finally get back to them. lost my dog too. some mountain man i am. doze found his way back to heidi and deegan just fine and left me out to drown in the pouring rain. i was also stressed because i left my family in the rain at the end of a long hike in the middle of a bear infested junglish forest. all is well now didn't find what i was looking for and had all the fun i could hope for.






just some pictures that i took along the way. this is one photography trick i have wanted to try for awhile now. the water is the trick. i like the effect, but there was too much sun to do it like i wanted it.

took this one for heidi she though it would be a good pic.


i have a wireless remote that i wanted to use. so i took this pic.







more of the water effect.

Boots Chivington's show truck.

Beings as B.A.R.M. stands for being a real man, whats more manly than this truck. I took heidi to see it and she said "that truck.... well.... its nicer than our house! It was a sweet ride. Not much cooler than that. Its all just so big that one picture cannot to it justice, and a bunch of pictures together cannot get close either. One must see it in person to get the effect. It won best of show and three other trophies in the show it was in this weekend. Best of show is the best award by the way. The only one that matters.
These last two are the same pictures just photoshoped differently.

My studly dog did it again. He had a couple of dates with a girlfriend of his and well they went all the way a couple of times. We were worried that he didn't do the deed with her because the owners of the girl boxer said that they never did it. Plus they were only together for short times and like twice. So... Well they had nine puppies and I guess the rest is history. Get a hold of me if you would like to have a good litter of Boxer puppies and are in need of some stud services. Oh and ps the green letters in my posts are links to other pertinent information.

Nothing to do

Just got bored so I made this vid.

Last night I went with some good people to go riding. It was a really good time. One of the best parts was I didn't have to go to my wife's nephews birthday party. It was also the first time that I took my camera. I have this program that goes with photoshop that I have never tried before, so thats why I but this animation up. I made it in that program. It is supposed to be a .gif image. It is supposed to be an animation of 8 photos that were taken of me and Ryan in sequence. Click for larger image.

This scared me to death. I was getting ready to hit this ramp for like the third time at this distance and this guy just stood up there right in the middle of the way. I didn't know if I was going to clear him so i went a bit faster than I needed and over jumped the landing a bit. But I cleared him.

This is my neighbor down the street that I go riding with. He is good!


Same guy.

Unintended Consequences

I happen to believe that the second wave of the feminist movement has completely destroyed America in a way that is almost irreversible. It will always be irreversible if the anti-male movement continues to refuse to acknowledge their role in causing it. Many interviews that are on record have proven to show the irrational justification of the so called liberated woman. They tend to rationalize away everything by saying that it is just another example of oppressive men trying to brainwash the masses into the stone age again.

Before going down the abbreviated list of things the feminist did to destroy this country lets look at the good. There can be no person in their right mind that would say that suffrage and equality were negatives to our society. Womans suffrage and work place equality are perfectly worthy causes that I, if I were alive, would have joined that fight for and march down the streets with the brave and righteous women that did. I would never champion the thought that those parts of our history should be erased. But rather something that we all as American should be and are proud of.

There are however some parts of the feminist movement that proved to be a huge detriment to our life here on this continent. I don't believe that when this was all started that it was a intended part of the plan. I don't think that there was a group of conspirators that had a hidden agenda. Although there have been severe consequences that no one seemed to be able to predict.

In late 1963 the phrased "womens liberation" was first used. And in early 1964 this phase became a huge movement. At the very core of this movement was the idea that the very institution of marriage, in it's traditional form, was the epitome of male oppression. There became a massive uprising of women declaring that if a woman was to remain a stay at home mother they were giving in to the master plan of the evil and diabolical men. Women were no longer seen as women if they were happily married and had children and had no job. The forces of RADICAL feminism had weaved their poisonous tentacles into the fabric of each and every town by the late 1970's.

Today we can see the result of this has been a statistical decline in the happiness and quality of married since the 60's. And a statistical incline in the rate of divorce and single parent families. Male role models have been taken out of homes and instead demonized as the big jerk that doesn't pay child support. Little boys that live with their bitter mothers are continually told all men are going to rape and drink and hit and abuse and not have a job. So was born the dead beet dad.

In the 60's another detrimental aspect of our life was instituted. The idea of living together, or shacking up. If a woman choses to shack up with a new stud while still having children that live with her, what is the lesson that she is teaching her young son? That young boy is learning from his mom that he can find a girl move in and with no work or commitment can have an unpaid whore to do with what he wants. Then when he get bored or mom gets to bitchy he can just walk away. Then what happens? Mom gets a new stud and history repeats itself.

Wile all this is happening this women's children are being stuffed into the closest daycare and have to compete for the affection of mommy and daddy with mom and dads shack ups. Children are forced to grow up not knowing what it is supposed to be like. Non committed relationships have tore apart a vital part of the natural growing proses of our kids. Luckily for a small number of kids they don't have to go through this hell. Some women, like my wife, still love their kids enough to stay home and raise kids in the best manner known for their development.

Now I have to agree that men are the weaker sex. Women have all the power in our relations. That is if they choose to use it right. (reference the Boleyn sisters and king henry the 8th) But since the second wave of feminism, women have been choosing to do things all wrong.

Men are very simple. Theres a little more to us than this but really this is where women's power comes from. Men will do what ever it takes to get in bed with a woman. Like I said we are not as shallow as that sounds, but at the core it's true. Lately liberated women have chosen to make it a lot easier to achieve our goal. In past times there was an unwritten expectation that in order for men to get a women in bed he had to do a large number of things. A man had to be a gentleman, have a good enough job to support a wife and kids, be respectful, honest, loving, impressive, motivated, smart, patient, and be able to fallow through on his commitments to marriage. He had to be able to do all that and more because that is what a good woman required to him.

What does a man have to do today? Not much, does he? Basically he just has to either have money or be able to dance well. Now if you are a "liberated woman", let me ask you a question. Does it look like this is a good direction to have taken the nation? How come the most commonly asked question among women is, why can't i find a good man? Are there any good men left? Now that woman have gotten out from under the oppression of a traditional marriage, it is possible for them to be truly free. Right? I don't believe so. If you couple all the demands of feminism (fantastic career, free sex, ect.) with the natural desires to be a mother, we have a recipe for misery. If not for the woman, than for the children.

In writing this I did not have a written outline or even a plan with extensive research, so sorry if this sounds rambling. But even though this post isn't backed with references from college professors or noted professionals, it is true and easy to understand. I believe that it is clear.

The good new is that there is a growing number of women from my generation that are beginning to see the faults of their mothers and grandmothers. A whole population of women that are proud to be feminine (not feminist), and not in constant competition with a man or men. A wonderfully happy group that realize they have special skill that men do not and are grateful for that and the ability to use those skills. I am very happy that I am married to such a woman. A real woman. She makes me happy and I try to do the same for her. We are a team that works well together. Instead of competing against each other to be the best at this or the best at that or have the better job or make the most money. We are different and know it and use those genetic deferences to complete the head of our family. Deegan needs both of us they way we are. I hope that men and women can come to realize the benefits of having a wife that lets and encurages him to be a MAN.

I don't plan on any more of my posts being like this. I just plan on them being about the fun kinds of things that real men do and shouldn't be ashamed of. (Like swimming in dirty ponds.) Not saying I do it all perfectly or that I am the example of a real man but just that I am able to do some of those things from time to time and that my wife lest me feel good about it.
