Keeping up with change

As the years go by, technology advances at an ever increasing rate. In my youth we did not have TV until the early 50's. These days I see people camping out to get the newest I phone which will be replaced in 6 months and has only minimal improvement over the last phone. It seems we are heading for the day when our communication will be through a chip implanted in our head. Like texting and emails haven't severely diminished social contact already.

Recently change was brought home in another way. I got a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD with all the bells and whistles. Regular use of the manual eventually made me proficient in finding and using most of the features. A look at the engine made me realize many of the items were not familiar. It made me recall the cars of my youth and the fact that one could repair most things by yourself and almost climb into the hood. Now it's all run by computers.

An interesting event occurred with the new Jeep and the 2004 Jeep that I still had,  I had not used the older Jeep in about 5 weeks and it would not start. A neighbor came over with cables and we began to prepare for jumping the car. I moved the new car into position and opened the hood. WE looked in and I said " WHERE THE HELL IS THE BATTERY?" After a couple of minutes, we noticed a red plastic cap and a Black plastic sleeved pin along the firewall marked + & - . These were the terminals and we hooked up the cables. (Still don't know where the  battery is)

 The older Jeep started right up but if I took my foot off the gas it would conk out. Tried it a few times with the same result. Decided to call a friend mechanic for his advice. Here's the shocker to me. He said the car has a throttle memory and you will have to ride brake and gas for about 10 minutes so the computer resets. Man am I out of touch with the crazy engineering of todays cars. Ah! for the good old days

Blacks are never racists?

I cannot help but observe in utter consternation the ravings of bigots who still want everyone to believe only blacks are oppressed and treated unjustly. Let's consider the idiocy  of obummer, holder, jesse  Jackson and Al Sharpton . Their comments in the past and most recently about the Zimmerman verdict show their true colors as bigots.

obummer suddenly finds it necessary (between vacations) to take a moral (not biased) stance against matters that are the responsibility of States and the people. It is none of his business to spread discontent and flame a bad situation. Bad enough the commander in lies has his people spying on us and using IRS to subvert legal opposition, now he wants to rewrite the first, second, fourth and fifth amendments by using illegal executive orders (how many already ? more than all presidents combined). His never having had a real job before shows in his mishandling of this one.

holder is a wannabee who is merely obummer's puppet.He is also out there using his office to appease the voting base while trashing the laws he is supposed to uphold. A useless bum who should be indicted by Congress and fired.

Jess Jackson is either senile or has lost touch with reality. His nonsensical ramblings are a series of lies and blame whitey.Back in college he changed schools because "as a black man I couldn't be quarterback"  Hey jesse the school already had a black QB. Was this the beginning of a career of fact fabrication? You did a great job getting your son elected so he could become a thief.

November 6,2012 A truly Black Tuesday

The election results were not only dissappointing and depressing, they confirmed "The dumbing down of America".OBUMMERITES proved the need for a basic intelligence test to allow people to vote.Given blacks ,hispanics,illegals and freeloaders were committed by racism or greed -WHAT THE HELL WERE THE REST OF THEM THINKING?

Having been a Mayor and active in a Political party I have some expertise in analysing election results.So consider some of the glaring inequities in the national election.
Fifty nine precincts in Philadelphia recorded not one vote for Romney! Impossible! at least one dumb  black would have pressed the wrong button.Was there an investigation of that election district board? NO- but if Romney had won even one precinct unanamously,holder,Sharpton and the rest of obummers crew would be yelling RACISM and demanding investigation.

In New Jersey  I have more experience with political demographics and tendencies.In the Northern sector there are interesting resultsTowns like River Vale,Old Tappan,Park Ridge,Oradell and Emerson  are composed mainly of middle and upper middle class voters.While the majority are white,Romney polled about 55%to 45%.
In Tenafly,Saddle Brook,Rigefield and Lyndhurst -populatio more blue collar,majority white and a stron history of staunch Democrat party allegiance.The polling here was about 60/40 for obummer.
In Hackensack,clifton and Prospect Park where the majority is black,hispanic or on welfare you see an 80% obummer vote.

Then there's the CLASSIC case of Patterson where you can guess the voter composition while they give obummer 95% of the vote!!! Are you serious Ghandi or Mother Theresa couldn't poll 95%
Dare I suggest there were some improprieties ? No there were outright acts of unchecked and un-investigated FRAUD>
