U.S. Marine in Mexican Prison
I’ve got to say that this is incredible. Mr. Hammer a former marine… but always a Marine and a hero of the U.S.A. is being held in a Mexican prison controlled by a drug cartel 15 miles from the border must be released by Christmas of 2012.
If he is not I implore the citizens of America not to travel, buy or do ANYTHING that will help the Mexican Nation. A complete boycott!!!
This Marine has done nothing wrong.
Mr. Obama and all his resources including a Military Action to release this Marine should commence on 12/26/2012. As Commander in Chief he owes this country exactly that.
Mr. Obama has been very good to the Illegal Mexican intruders upon the U.S.A. ie.. the amnesty program he has put in place by Executive Order.
I may not agree with 99.9% of what Mr. Obama has done but if he does not take care of this situation in my mind it amounts to a treasonous act.

“Tears in Heaven” and here on Earth….
Today when I turned on the news and was informed of the incredible carnage in Sandy Hook, Connecticut I could not hold back the tears streaming down my face over an entire Kindergarten class “not accounted for” and I knew … they are probably gone.
My heart was immediately drawn to the parents of these kids and it hurts.
As I watched through blurry eyes and a sense of disbelief I began to think about all those Police Officers and other Responders who had to go in there. I don’t know how they can do that and then go home to their own family’s and get up the next day and do that job.
I can tell you this. I am grateful that they are there to do this incredible job. My thoughts and yes prayers go out to the responders who have to clean up and inform the families of their losses.
I’m certain that “Gun Control” will be the Topic to discuss… but not today or tomorrow.
The American Flag will be at half mast over this for some time, the hearts and souls of America are half empty over what came about on a brisk winter morning in a simple little town where innocent little kids were swept away from us.
I am so sorry for this to happen.

The Separation of Church and State
I could be dead wrong but it is my understanding that our founders placed the clause of the Separation of Church and State to preclude the government from demanding of it’s citizens that there be a State or Government “ Approved” Religion or “Church”.
I do not believe that this clause was placed in the Constitution to preclude anyone from celebrating their beliefs or icons in a public manner.
Which is exactly what is going on in America today.
This country was formed with a basic premise which follows the Ten Commandments. Which in my mind is simply “Good Orderly Direction” following basic principle’s of the” Christian Faith”.
I have never heard in my years anyone demanding through the courts whether an individual or group of persons go to confession or be baptized or follow any criteria that their particular church requests of them.
We don’t stone or mutilate people in America as happens in countries that do demand that a religion is followed. This generally goes on in countries where the “Religion of Peace” is prevalent i.e. The nations of Islam.
So this is what I have to say to all these idiots that want to take away our Christmas trees, crosses in public places, remove the word God from a child's poem, change the currency and on and on and on.
Shut the fuck up or get the fuck out.
If you don’t want to see, read, or hear anyone else’s stuff.
Kill yourself.
Freedom of Religion is a Right.
You may speak against whatever you want. That is your Right.
You don’t have the Right, (until someone put “Idiots on the Bench”) to stop anyone from saying Merry Christmas anywhere they please.
Get a gripe go eat your Tofu Turkey and leave people alone.
Oh Yeah by the way, you want government in your face all the time? Keep electing people who hate the USA to office. For Christ’s sake.
Hahahahahhahah
Merry Christmas

Barry Sotero–America’s Destruction
How is it that 141% of registered voters voted. If there are 100 registered voters and 141 votes are cast then doesn’t that mean that we the former greatest nation in the history of Earth has a stolen election. Or do we just not care?
Where is it in the Constitution that a Citizen is forced to purchase anything? It does not. What happened? The Constitution has been voted off the table by Congress. In other countries there would be blood in the streets. It’s coming.
Name ANY society that Taxed themselves into prosperity. History shows it has never happened. What makes ANYONE believe that it can happen now?
Why is Christianity being persecuted in this country? Muslim Leader? If not that who?
Why do we send billions of our money to countries that hate us and would gladly wipe out every man, woman and child of the United States of America?
How could any President allow then lie about an Ambassador who was murdered then dragged through the streets by terrorist’s on 9/11/2012 and do NOTHING?
How could AMERICA elect someone we knew nothing about? Then do it again, After the above which is just a small sampling of the despicable acts this traitor has done.
This grand deceiver is committed to destroying everything that generations of Americans have fought and died for.
All you PINHEADS that voted for him should be hung in the town square.
When the blood in the streets begins I hope it starts with Barry.

What Goes Around Comes Around
Now my home will be sold and I am forced to reside in Tucson.
Although I am grateful to have a place to stay I am in the danger zone again.
The beatings continue.

God and the G.O.P.
As I see it there are a few ways that the relationship between a person, their perception of the word GOD and the political beliefs they hold can be interpreted.
In this world many different cultures have espoused their personal interpretation of the word, belief or perception of what GOD means to them.
Some have the belief that GOD has endowed us with certain unalienable rights. Our Constitution states this. I accept that as true.
Some believe that GOD teaches people to slit the throats and overcome other’s perception of GOD by force, murder, and simple attrition of numbers.
I will not accept this.
Some of us in this world have claimed to have spoken to GOD or have him speak directly to a singular human.
I cannot accept this due to my own perception of the word GOD.
Some claim that their style of worship to their belief or perception of the word GOD is the only acceptable interpretation of the aforementioned word.
This I cannot also accept due to my own personal interpretation of the word or perception of the word GOD.
All civilized societies that I am aware of can generally accept the 10 Commandments as a pretty good rule of thumb to keep society from imploding.
A person who holds faith that he/she lives a true and just life will get that particular individual to a place called heaven is Ok by me. For this simple fact. Those who have been true to others and have lived a life that has kept within the boundary's that society has bestowed upon them most likely through the parameters of the 10 Commandments can look back at the end of life with serenity and peace that they have been righteous to their accepted concepts of what is good, and have for the most part always been “good”. Even though we all have bumps along the way. I won’t go into what is good or bad simply because the whole concept of intentions leads us to a whole set of variables that leads to specifics which become “ lost in translation”.
Suffice it to say for my part I have trouble with a perception or belief that you can Quote “Get away with Murder” by just saying your sorry to “GOD” as some believe through the art of confession to GOD. I mean what the heck if he is all knowing, he knows you did it and your screwed anyway, since you disregarded the 10 Biggies.
OK so on to my Title.
GOD and the G.O.P.
My belief in the word or perception of GOD is this the word means
G.(good)O.(orderly)D.(direction)
Here we are back to the 10 Biggies.
What the G.O.P. must encompass is people who believe in this without the
Religious Right getting in the way of what pragmatically is Good Orderly Direction.
There are so many societal issues i.e. Abortion, Divorce, the War on Everything (drugs, terror, crime etc. etc. that the common person who does not take the time or know how to think things through gets buried in the Buzz Blitz of the moment as it is brought to you by the Mainstream Media that permeates society in this day of instant information.
I recall one day listening to a Cable News channel as they reported what a person, I guess named BOW WOW thought about something.
Really are you serious? How can any person who has core beliefs or principles of any sort take this particular media information seriously?
Ok if his Dad named this Male “Sue” maybe but BOW WOW?
I believe that the United States of America was founded by people who believed in GOD it just so happens that my interpretation of this word encompasses all those whop believe in G.(good). O(orderly)D.(direction)
The G.O.P. to win must focus on the direction and not some esoteric concept that is open to a place in the mind which is personal.
It is not about winning the fanatics on every level of GOD-ness.
It is about Good Orderly Direction.
As to the Democrats … You have no idea what the heck I just said do you?

2012 A year that matters
You know I for the first time in many years had a wonderful holiday season. Thanks in large part to some family members who chose to help me when I actually had a plan that might save my life from total destruction.
Now that I am past the first hurdle I turn to 2012 which is a real test for me. I am somewhat melancholy towards this year so far. My job is great, my home is great, I have a great companion in “Twist”, and still I feel down some days.
Don’t we all!
A couple of weeks ago I was disturbed that I could not get any of my kids to answer the phone and I lashed out. Wrong move on my part. I was somewhat suffering from what had transpired in the back of my car about a year ago and was reaching out just to talk to someone. Of coarse no one knew this and we all have our lives to live.
I have come to realize that no matter who has your back that there are going to be times when I will just have to deal with things on my own.
One Daughter has moved from Arizona recently to begin a new chapter in her life. I certainly believe that this move on her part will be a happy experience for this exceptional person not withstanding car trouble in the middle of nowhere LOL. Hey what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, that is the way it is supposed to go isn’t it?
2 sons have gone through relationship issues and they are always hard. Believe me I know this. They are both great guys and still young enough to enjoy the prospect of future relationships that hopefully will work out to be great. That is my wish for them anyway. I am comfortable that this dream will happen for them.
So all in all things are pretty good.
In the past I used the sadness of not having much communication with my kids as an excuse to go back out there and destroy myself. That’s easy to do.
In the year of 2012 that is not an option.
I like my life, I love my Kids, I love my Parents, I love my Brothers.
and
I will learn to love myself no matter what anyone does or does not do.
Thanks for all your help last year and feel free to give a shout out once and a while and be part of 2012. It is appreciated.
Love to all

Casa Grande has been very good for me
I moved to Casa Grande to make a change in my life and so far this has been perfect. I am close enough to family and far enough from destructive acquaintances to make it work.
I had also hoped to reignite my passion for the Culinary Arts which was gone. I dreaded being in the Kitchen.
I am now employed at “The River Source” a Drug and Alcohol Detox and Rehab here in The Big House. Go figure huh? Anyway it is kind of like doing service work and I get paid. So far it works for me. Especially since I work 3 and half days per week. Lots of time off after lots of hard work is a big change from lots of hard work and no time off.
I have a new housemate who is quiet, always happy to see me and does not take up much space. He is “Twist”.
He is OK he does not like that big furry thing at “Casa del Funo” but he is learning to cope with it.
Twist and I recently went to see the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument which was a fun 1/2 day trip.
My daughter Corinne just got back from a wonderful trip to Europe where with Lauren and Richard she met up with Steven her boyfriend who is stationed in Germany. Here they are at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
They look to be at the Top of the World.
And I think they are.
Thanks to Lauren and Richard for making this happen.
Welcome home to you all !!
Well that is it for now.

31 Years in the Old Pueblo
As I packed up my belongings I was thrilled that Lauren; my ex wife and great friend surprised me by being there. Thank you dear, that was sweet and means a lot to me. Of coarse my little rock Corinne was there to help and my son Cassidy will deliver some stuff from Phoenix tomorrow so he too will be part of this transition.
None of this would be possible without my beloved parents who are instrumental in giving me this opportunity to start a new beginning in Casa Grande. They have once again through their love, come to the rescue even though I piled anguish upon anguish at their doorstep. Let it be known that I will not be letting this opportunity slip through my hands.
In closing I leave behind a trail of unfortunate events, that I should and could have prevented. I only have myself to blame. I also carry in my soul the many wonderful people I’ve met here. I also carry the pride of many years of providing great memories for untold families through orchestrating their Weddings, Quincenieta’s, Retirements, Anniversaries and a multitude of significant events in people’s lives. I’ve fed Presidents, Governors, Sports figures and Movie Stars. My proudest moments are being able to practice my craft for family members.
I leave behind the people that do not have my best interests at heart and pray for the strength to leave them behind.
Tucson I will miss you.
Casa Grande Lets Roll

Border Agent Kills Kid - A Shame but what to do?
1. Leave his post and run?
2. Tell them to stop it?
3. Take the rocks on the chin?
4. Or protect his self?
In the case of one of the perpetrators being 14 years of age and having a known history of trouble at the border. He took a bullet and died.
That sucks, it’s a horrifying thing that it happened.
It didn’t have to happen. His parents should have kept him from causing trouble.
His countrymen and women could rise up against their corrupt government and insist that society be transformed into something that more resembles the neighbors to the north.
Well hopefully the USA gets a grip and Mr. Obamadinajihad doesn’t keep creating the United Socialist Republic of North America, as he wants to do.
Are the Mexican people so cowardly as not to create civil unrest or a revolution if needed to fix their own country? Instead they take the lazy way out and sneak across an international border.
Is sending aid to them going to fix anything or line the pockets of yet more corrupt officials?
I think the best way to help them is to TAKE 10 MILES of their territory and turn it into a DMZ as we have for the Korean Peninsula.
What about the border towns? Well sorry for your luck but no one can go they’re without the fear of the Drug Cartels.
Well I say we can put them out of business too. Prohibition didn’t work early in the last century and obviously has not worked with the so-called war on drugs.
So legalize the stuff and keep the product cleaner and collect income tax from the producers and from the sales of products. If you remove the taboos associated with things like drugs then I believe fewer children will try them.
Never mind the trillions going to fight crime; incarcerate users and clog up the courts with what is a Societal Issue that can be addressed through education. Lets face it if you can buy it at the store you’ll greatly reduce the street crime associated with addiction. And have more fund’s to treat addicts.
It costs much less too.
I have lived in Tucson for 30 years and found the Mexican people to be hard working and eager to provide for their beloved families. They should be able to do that legally in their own country and forcing the Mexican government to shape up or be ousted by vote or revolution is the only way change will happen.
Maybe Obamadinajihad can go bring change to Mexico and leave us alone.

The Mystery Rash
I have opened and suspended my new business “Pretzels Taxi Service” I have been truly ill going on the 5th month now. so my first priority is to regain my health. It seems as though a mystery rash has been ravaging me since January of 2010. This has been a painful experience that seems to have no end in sight. I finally recently got on AHCESS and gained a primary care Doctor after 3 emergency room visits and a 12-day stay in the hospital.
Hopefully this to shall come to an end.
Bless my parents for taking me in so that I can recuperate and concentrate on getting my health back in order.
I am very pleased to be here. I certainly look forward to being some assistance to them instead of the hindrance that I’ve been for so many years. They too have some health issues and in some case’s the whole subscription to bear.
My daughter Corinne has been incredible over these past few months in facilitating a way to repair some broken parts that I have left strewn about the Old Pueblo.
To really know how I’ve felt, listen to the lyrics of “What Can I Say” by Brandi Carlile. I will leave it at that for now. Talk to you all soon.
