victory at last

So the last battle has finally been fought and in the end victory is mine.

I have wanted to blog about this for a while but have hesitated because of various reasons.

In the beginning there was a woman who came to work at *******. I was her supervisor and in the beginning it was all good. She showed a talent for the job and for working with other people. She was a leader of sort, a positive one at that. She was upbeat and always ready to take on a challenge.As time went on she made a good name for herself.

That is until she made her 6 month mark. You see, once you reach 6 months, you are no longer on probation. You can no longer be let go at any time, without reason. You are held to the disciplinary policy that allows for documented discussions, write ups, suspensions, then finally termination. A process that could take well over a year.

As soon as she had this mile marker under her belt, she started to change. She became loud and very argumentative. She publicly put others down, even those she called friend. She would make fun of others for their weight, how tall they were, and any other reason she could come up with. She would push the envelope to the limit and then back down.

I tried to stop her but thanks to my boss who told me to be nice I could do nothing.

I was then off work for almost 3 months for major surgery. During this time, my team was led by another supervisor who let them do whatever they pleased as long as they were her friend.

I came back to find that this woman had all of the rest of the team under her control. Some by threats, some by low self esteem.

I was still told to be nice by my boss.

I tried, knowing that in time I would be given permission once again to take control and turn the team around.

One night at 11:30, this woman decided she was going to challenge me. She threatened me with my physical well being and tried to mentally get to me by using her daughter who is an cop to scare me. I don't scare easily. The only thing that stopped her from throwing punches that night was another person stepping in and holding her back.

She was given a 3 day vacation without pay for that. It was the worst the hospital could do to her under the present policy.

The following week, because it became obvious that the policy was outdated and could be used to undermine the best intrests of the hospital, the policy was changed.

She could be fired for making threats of any kind now.

I was finally told not to be nice. To be myself and take control of things and do what is right.

It took me 6 months of hell to finally see the end to this.

Everyone knew she would lose it again. It was only a matter of time.Last week she did. I stood on my side of the desk with her on the other leaning forward, she had her hands balled and ready to strike. She was going to hit me. Now had I not just had several thousand in dental work done I would have stood my ground. I decided however to back down and let give the new policy a chance.

She was fired, finally. She did however make sure she tossed in one last threat of "your dead" before she left.

Well I can't comment on any thing from that point on because I wouldn't want to risk any legal issues being affected by a blog.

I can say however, it felt good to win.

It is good to be apart of the victory.

The team, my employees that followed her, well they are a different unit now.

I cut off the head of the monster and now tho the body is still moving now and again, for the most part they are the team I had before ****. They seem to trying to redeem themselves. A few have even thanked me for standing up for them. Told me they were afraid of her.

I almost lost faith in the system but in the end I have come to realize that good will eventually win. Even when it seems impossible.

Damn, it feels good!!!

Just tired. Nobody will listen...

I am just tired.

I am tired of all the shit going on in this country and the lack of interest by the majority of the people I personally know.

I am tired of trying to show people the facts and having them insist on being blind to the truth. I know sometimes the truth hurts but it must be faced.

The spend and tax policies of the Obama administration that will put our grand kids into debt before they are even born.

The attempt to strip us of our civil rights that our forefathers fought and died for. The right to free speech, the right to own guns, the right to be free of illegal search and seizure.

The card check law that will take away our right to decide for ourselves whether we want to join a union. This law gives the unions the right to harass and threaten those that don't want to sign the cards. It then forces the employees to pay dues that would be used to support political agendas that we have no vote in. It takes away the ability for the employee to make their own choices. It takes away the ability for union employees to vote on a strike. The decision is made by the union leaders and you would have to strike or lose your "union card" and then not have a job.

Nobody wants to listen.

Then there is the assault on health care. How dare the government try and tell me what medical treatment or medications I need. That has always been between me and my doctor. That is how it should stay. I am in health care. I see the fear and here the conversations about will their child even be able to get the life saving treatment if we go to a government health care system. I have seen families travel from all over the world to come to America just to save their loved ones. I ask people to think about how this would affect you.

Nobody wants to listen.

Other countries are warning us about the path to destruction we are being led down. They speak from experience.

Nobody wants to listen.

I could go on and on.

Nobody wants to listen.

So, what do I do?

The only thing I can do. Keep talking. Keep fighting for what is right.

To those of you that do hear and see what is going on, find your voice. Use it. Read and research the facts and open your mouth and fight with well educated words.

My son told me about a girl who was at a get together and spoke out against Obama. She was beaten up by Obama bots. He was afraid for me because he know I can't keep quiet. He was afraid for my partner because she speaks the truth and is very passionate about it.

He said the world is crazy and the young people who are on Obama's side are angry. They are willing to fight and they don't think about what they are doing. They don't care.

I did some research and found this is something that is occurring around the country. The newspapers candy coat the story, but the truth still stands out.

This is starting to sound a lot like Germany in the early 30's. The youth groups beating down the opposition and then like thieves in the night disappearing.

I try and tell people this.

They don't want to hear.

We are headed for a revolution.
We are headed for blood shed on our own soil.
Brother against brother.

But nobody will listen.

I am tired. I am frustrated. I want to give up.I won't.

It is important.

It is our children's future, our grandchildren's future.

I will fight.

With words, with actions, with passion.

I will fight for country that my father and grandfather fought for.

I will not give up.

I will find the strength.

Steelers to lose super bowl trophies..per Obama

Pittsburgh, PA. The Super Bowl XLIII Champion Pittsburgh Steelers, the only team to win six titles, will soon be losing half of those trophies.
After a meeting between NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodel and President Barack Hussein Obama, Obama decided to redistribute half of their Steeler Super Bowl victories and trophies to less fortunate teams in the league.
“We live everyday in the country that invented the Super Bowl.” said Obama “We are not about to lose this Great American tradition in the wake of these difficult times.”
Obama’s plan calls for the Steelers, who are a successful NFL team, to give half of their Super Bowl trophies to teams that are not successful or have not been as successful as the Steelers. “The Detroit Lions are just as much a part of the same fiber of the NFL as the Steelers and they should, no rather will, be entitled to a Super Bowl Trophy as well.” Obama explains in his plan that he has imposed on Godel and the NFL.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, who by virtue of hard work, excellent team play, stellar draft choices, responsible investing of free agents, careful hiring of coaches and excellent community service and commitment to their fans, has prospered greatly during the past 30 years and have won six Super Bowl Trophies. But President Barack Hussein Obama’s plan calls for the Pittsburgh Steelers to carry the larger burden of the NFL’s less successful teams. Obama went on to further proclaim, “In these difficult times we are all in this to work together. We must reclaim the NFL Championship Dream for every team, for every city and for every fan.”

“My plan will not affect 31 of the 32 teams in the league.” Obama assures. That’s over 95 percent of the teams in the NFL will not have to worry about losing any Super Bowl Trophies. “The worst teams in the NFL and the teams that can’t seem to get a break and win a championship will no longer have to worry about going without a title.” Obama promises. “We are a country and league of hope. We all need to make a change. It does not matter the color of the teams uniforms, the personal decisions that the teams make or their performance but rather if they are a member of this great American league.”The Super Bowl XLIII trophy will be redistributed to the 0-16 Detroit Lions. Through no fault of their own incompetence, the Lions could not manage a victory all season and this trophy will help ease the pain of their lack of performance and give them hope once again.
Redistribution of Super Bowl XL trophy will go directly to the Steeler’s division rival the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals who also have fallen on hard times have never won a Super Bowl. This victory will bring a smile to hundreds of Bengal fans all over the world as they can now celebrate.
Finally, one of the Steeler’s two Super Bowl victories over the Dallas Cowboys will go back to the Cowboys since the league needs to provide hope in the face of difficulty and provide hope in the face of uncertainty. This is a heavy burden for the Steelers but together we can all prosper.All hope is not lost for Pittsburgh fans; Barack Hussein Obama has another plan in place. Obama has met with MLB and commissioner Bud Selig on a similar plan. The New York Yankees will redistribute two of their World Series trophies to the Pittsburgh Pirates as a supplement to their losing 16 straight seasons and counting. This plan will help stimulate the Pirates and enable them to regain the American Dream. Barack Hussein Obama will be meeting with the NHL and Michael Phelps in the upcoming weeks as this issue is high on his agenda for “Hope and Change.”

Health Care....Change?????

For two years, Obama has focused his health care plan entirely on socializing the United States health care system. Unfortunately, he has given little attention to facts and reality.It is clear we need vast health care reform in the United States, but is government ran health care really the best option? Any guesses why this study was ignored by the mainstream media?


Via the National Center for Policy Analysis, Hoover Institution senior fellow Scott Atlas identifies 10 things you probably did not know about health care:

Fact No.1: Americans have better survival rates than Europeans for common cancers.Breast cancer mortality is 52 percent higher in Germany than in the United States, and 88 percent higher in the United Kingdom. Prostate cancer mortality is 604 percent higher in the U.K. and 457 percent higher in Norway. The mortality rate for colorectal cancer among British men and women is about 40 percent higher.

Fact No.2: Americans have lower cancer mortality rates than Canadians.Breast cancer mortality is 9 percent higher, prostate cancer is 184 percent higher and colon cancer mortality among men is about 10 percent higher than in the United States.

Fact No.3: Americans have better access to treatment for chronic diseases than patients in other developed countries.Some 56 percent of Americans who could benefit are taking statins, which reduce cholesterol and protect against heart disease.By comparison, of those patients who could benefit from these drugs, only 36 percent of the Dutch, 29 percent of the Swiss, 26 percent of Germans, 23 percent of Britons and 17 percent of Italians receive them.

Fact No.4: Americans have better access to preventive cancer screening than Canadians.Take the proportion of the appropriate-age population groups who have received recommended tests for breast, cervical, prostate and colon cancer:* Nine of 10 middle-aged American women (89 percent) have had a mammogram, compared to less than three-fourths of Canadians (72 percent).* Nearly all American women (96 percent) have had a pap smear, compared to less than 90 percent of Canadians.* More than half of American men (54 percent) have had a PSA test, compared to less than 1 in 6 Canadians (16 percent).* Nearly one-third of Americans (30 percent) have had a colonoscopy, compared with less than 1 in 20 Canadians (5 percent).

Fact No.5: Lower income Americans are in better health than comparable Canadians.Twice as many American seniors with below-median incomes self-report “excellent” health compared to Canadian seniors (11.7 percent versus 5.8 percent). Conversely, white Canadian young adults with below-median incomes are 20 percent more likely than lower income Americans to describe their health as “fair or poor.”

Fact No.6: Americans spend less time waiting for care than patients in Canada and the U.K. Canadian and British patients wait about twice as long - sometimes more than a year - to see a specialist, to have elective surgery like hip replacements or to get radiation treatment for cancer.All told, 827,429 people are waiting for some type of procedure in Canada. In England, nearly 1.8 million people are waiting for a hospital admission or outpatient treatment.

Fact No.7: People in countries with more government control of health care are highly dissatisfied and believe reform is needed.More than 70 percent of German, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and British adults say their health system needs either “fundamental change” or “complete rebuilding.”

Fact No.8: Americans are more satisfied with the care they receive than Canadians.When asked about their own health care instead of the “health care system,” more than half of Americans (51.3 percent) are very satisfied with their health care services, compared to only 41.5 percent of Canadians; a lower proportion of Americans are dissatisfied (6.8 percent) than Canadians (8.5 percent).

Fact No.9: Americans have much better access to important new technologies like medical imaging than patients in Canada or the U.K.Maligned as a waste by economists and policymakers naïve to actual medical practice, an overwhelming majority of leading American physicians identified computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the most important medical innovations for improving patient care during the previous decade.The United States has 34 CT scanners per million Americans, compared to 12 in Canada and eight in Britain. The United States has nearly 27 MRI machines per million compared to about 6 per million in Canada and Britain.

Fact No.10: Americans are responsible for the vast majority of all health care innovations.The top five U.S. hospitals conduct more clinical trials than all the hospitals in any other single developed country.Since the mid-1970s, the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology has gone to American residents more often than recipients from all other countries combined. In only five of the past 34 years did a scientist living in America not win or share in the prize. Most important recent medical innovations were developed in the United States.

So do you still want the government to "fix" our health care system????

Obama breaks another promise!

Obama breaks another promise!
Obama stated when running for president that he would speak with or debate anyone that had issues with his policy, ideas, and future vision for this country.

Why then has he said NO to Rush....

Is he afraid that he would be left in the dirt when Rush wipes the floor with him by simply pointing out his lies?

Is he afraid that the people of this country would see him confronted with the truth?

Is he afraid of being pointed out as the socialist that he is?

I think he is just afraid.

Afraid he wouldn't have his prompter to help him remember his own lies.

Grow a pair President Obama.

America deserves better!

Nelson and stable flies, both FULL OF SHIT!!!

This is part of an article in the Omaha World Herald. It is about the earmarks that are embedded into the stimulus bill. I found this one very interesting and couldn't resist posting.

Nelson (Dem two faced LIAR) promised that he would not vote for any bill that contained earmarks for anyone's "pet" projects.


Nelson also found himself in the role of earmark defender. His $866,000 earmark to support stable fly research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was ridiculed as "pork" on cable news.

He touted the merits of stable fly research and said the latest round of criticism was a typical attack focused on less than 1 percent of the total funding in the legislation.


Now how full of SHIT is this $866,000 for stable fly research??? They are flies, that sit on shit and buzz around anything that will let them.

Come on Nelson, who blew you to get your support and sponsorship for this earmark? Then you try and justify it by saying it is less than 1% of total funding.

How many of the voters that elected you have even seen this much money?

Do you really think the people of Nebraska want this money spent on flies?

Nelson, you are just like your flies.....

FULL OF SHIT!!!!!

Another Upatriotic Nominee....Obama taps another tax cheat.

Another Unpatriotic Nominee... Obama taps another tax cheat.

For the last two years we have heard the left say paying higher taxes is patriotic.
According to their standards, this has got to be the most unpatriotic administration ever.

This begs the question... Does anyone in the Obama Administration pay taxes?

The New Editor reported:

The Obama Administration's US Trade Nominee Ron Kirk owes about $10,000 in taxes,making him the fifth(?) Obama nominee to have tax issues, and with thestock market's terrible reaction to President Obama's economic policies-- which include huge tax increases -- is it time to start asking ifthis Administration knows what it is doing?
