Judging Others

Today as I read one of the triplet blogs I enjoy, she had written about her daughters recital she went to yesterday.  Here is one of the  songs  that she had to watch.  I found it to be disgusting for 6/7 year old girls not only listening to this song but to have to choreograph it.  Then we wonder why this country is going down the sewer real quick. 

While I was watching The Price of Right, the president interrupted the program for his comments on the state of union.  At first, I was disappointed I was missing my show, but decided that I would listen to what he had to say, after all, hubby has been out of work off and on since December.  What I found today, is that Obama is very good at "masking" certain items.

Lets take the Immigration bill that is going into effect here in GA on July 1.  He would not answer the multiple reporters questions regarding immigration.  I have thought long and hard about this hot topic that people have been killed over.  Do I agree with it?  I don't have a problem with immigrants-its the way they live here.  My grandparents came over to America on a boat through Ellis Island.  All four of them were immigrants.  They came here legally and lived the American dream.  Why do these new immigrants feel it is there right to get free services, but do not pay for any of these services through payroll deductions as both my husband and I do each paycheck.  They get food stamps.  I looked into getting food stamps-I would get $200 a month in food stamps because my husband is receiving a unemployment check which we would prefer not to.  If the employers would make sure they are legal here in the US and pay according to the law, we wouldn't have this problem today.  I am sure there are many that would disagree with me-that is fine-I live in America-where I have the right to my own opinion.

He then went on to say the US needs to obtain new businesses here to get employees.  Well how do you suppose that we do this if most US companies outsource as much work as they can do overseas.  I say for one, for everyone that a US company pays for outsourcing a position here, they need to pay a fine and a hefty one at that.  Wake UP America!!!  We are slowly becoming a country of complainers and excuse makers.  I was brought up with if you don't like something, then do something to change it! 

My daughter who is a straight A student with great grades/SAT scores will go to college.  She will pay for it with grants/loans/scholarships.  The girl in Kennesaw who is an illegal immigrant gets to go for free because its her right.  Where is my daughters rights in there?  How does that become fair? Do I feel for the girl in Kennesaw-absolutely?  She was brought here illegally at a young age by her parents. Everything I do for myself has consequences for my children. 

I will moderate the comments so keep them clean!

Happy Summer!!!
