Papa’s World – Peace – Love and Happiness – HIPPIE!

Yes – there was a time I had long hair –

Rather – long curly hair –

imagine Carrot Top!

And – yes – I did ride motorcycle –

the mid 70’s to early 80’s!

I played softball –

on league teams –

and in the industrial league –

basketball for a radio station –

I once bought a church –

and renovated it into two appartments.

I was married at 17 with a son.

I was in a car accident prior to that –

and spent 51 days in the hospital –

In a wheelchair for two months – then crutches.

My life has been rather colorful –

more so than normal.

But more than that –

I have always believed in PEACE – LOVE and HAPPINESS –

Not quite full fledged HIPPIE –

But – a moderate – Independant sort of person.

I believe in a strong military worldwide –

law and order and equality –

I have always encouraged my wife –

with Women’s Rights.

I am not a racist –

nor a white Christain Nationalist

I believe in God –

Family and Country –

the Flag and the Constitution.

I look at immigration –

the need to control that –

but I also know that with no immigration –

My ancestors back in the 1800’s –

I would not be here.

I look at the need to fill jobs-

that no one else wants to do-

And how we still are recovering from the effect of the Pandemic –

in the need to fill those jobs.

I see business’s that close one day a week becasue of the labor shortage.

I see the turmoil of the country –

in politicans who inject anger –

slander –

and voice upheavel as a course of action.

In this democracy in 2020 –

I was in disbelief-

as I watched the storming of the Capital –

The intrussion on a dmeocraric process –

And I want to see “PROOF” of what is being said!

I am a registered INDENPENDENT –

I sell my vote to no one.

In the past I have voted all three –

Republican – Libetarian and Democrat.

I am a American – Citizen –

and Loyal to my Country.

I believe in PEACE – LOVE and HAPPINESS –

and in my heart of old –

a somewhat HIPPIE!

I respect the flag – country –

and the democratic process of law and order.

I am a citizen of what I precieve –

as the greatest country on Earth.

This is me – this is who I am –

Thank you for reading and as always HGD!

Papa’s World – What shall I do?

/ Tom / 3 Comments

Living life to the plus – not being political – but observing fundamental lapses of common sense all around me!

We have both believed in grace – love and forgiveness.

We have different leanings on a political scale yet we listen and see other points of view.

Recently – she posted to what I saw as common sense – a “CUTTING” of what some people call “ENTITLEMENTS”!

A few people choose to discredit this post as not being the “TRUTH”!

My answer is that for 48 1/2 years – I worked and paid for those benefits.

Those were and are a lifeline to exist after retirement.

During that time of my work life – the “COMPANY” also paid into the “ENTITLEMENT” and was considered part of my “BENEFITS” package.

I “EARNED” that “BENEFIT” after many years of toiling in the work field.

The POLITICIANS who want to end this “ENTITLEMENT” as far as I can describe –

are wealthy and more than likely never to claim this “ENTITLEMENT” –

yet to the vast majority of seniors living out their lives to the plus – it is a survivor reality.

Without it – we could not live to any old age – and most likely depend on children.

Now – to get back to the “TRUTH”!

I researched what was said – via the written word and what was said on the tape.

The key word of that sentence was the word”AND” –

The sentence is taken word for word.

“THERE IS A LOT YOU CAN DO IN TERMS OF CUTTING “AND” ALSO THE THEFT AND THE BAD MANAGEMENT OF ENTITLEMENT – THERE ARE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF THINGS AND NUMBERS OF THINGS YOU CAN DO!”

The question asked?

ASKED – “WHETHER HE HAD CHANGED HIS OUTLOOK ON HOW TO HANDLE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS LIKE SOCIAL SECURITY – MEDICARE – MEDICAID IN ORDER TO TACKLE THE NATIONAL DEBT”?

Now – a few people commented on her posting – saying you need to quit watching CNN and all how they twist the words!

These words are not twisted – exactly what was said.

I have no POLITICAL AGENDA – I HAVE NO PARTY – I BELIEVE IN LAW AND ORDER –

I BELIEVE IN THE CONSTITUTION AND THE DEMOCRATIC ARTICLES AND LAWS OF THE LAND!

Also, one person began to berate her about the evil crime family – money – etc.

Challenging her to debate offline – or espousing the far-right Maga rhetoric of looney tunes!

When I presented the WORD FOR WORD – and you can read it above – there was a sense that

we – as SENIORS – are being targeted for our “ENTITLEMENTS” – even all our working lives we

“PAID” our own money and that of the people we worked for – into these programs.

Being a “SENIOR” looking down the road not knowing how we shall survive after one of us is gone?

So in concluding this blog – “WHAT SHALL I DO”?

I WILL EXERCISE MY VOTE – as an INDEPENDENT – NOT FOR “PARTY” BUT WHAT IS COMMON SENSE-

And for those who criticized her for posting the truth –

well – as far as I can determine –

you are what you are – my belief is in the poster from above-

Living life to the plus – “ONE LOVE – CHANGE THE WORLD” one VOTE at a time!

Thanks for reading and HGD!
