Okay, is this really happening again??

I know that we all get frustrated, and feel like there's no hope at times, but today is a new high for me personally. When your child calls and you can hear the hurt and frustration in his voice, it tears you up!!!

Let me start by stating unequivocally that if you are easily offended by talk about minorities, Obama's presidency, or any other touchy subject that no one is supposed to address in these Politically Correct times, close this window right now. Do NOT continue reading this blog. I have at no time said what I REALLY wanted to say, but the meaning is clear nonetheless.

Secondly; this blog reflects my opinions and feelings. Mine and mine alone! None of my family, friends, employers, co-workers or anyone else had any input into this in any way shape or form and most likely will be ashamed of even knowing me after reading it!! If, after reading it you are offended despite my clear and uncomplicated warning, TOUGH!!!! You were warned.

As a few of you already know, several weeks ago my youngest son's vehicle was hit by a male person of Mexican heritage. This caused my son's every day driver to be totaled! As I understand it, the driver could not even speak enough English to communicate with the officer that responded. And the person translating for him was slightly more fluent in our language, but only slightly.

Claiming to have insurance, he was given a ticket and let go. Of course, he had either let the insurance lapse or cancelled it shortly after obtaining his drivers license. Again, this is supposition on my part, but judging from past happenings, it is an educated guess.

The previous happenings I speak of include the first time that my youngest had a car totaled by another male of Mexican heritage who had done exactly that; got insurance, got his drivers license and then cancelled the insurance immediately. That time the car that got totaled was a 1970 Impala 2-door hardtop that we were working on restoring slowly as money came available. Right before the accident I had gotten a couple of thousand dollars work done on the steering of the vehicle to ensure it was safe for him to drive daily. Well, that went out of the window in a flash. He had only liability on the vehicle and all his insurance paid for were his medical bills.

We had thought that possibly he could go after the company whose van the male was driving. Guess again!! It's just a group of Mexican males who hire out to do carpeting. Subcontractors as it were. My son's attorney told him he would be getting nothing. Even if he got a judgement it would do no good as he would never collect a dime.

So, this time it was deja vu all over again, as Yogi Berra said. Another vehicle totaled and no recourse to recoup anything, other than by scrapping his vehicle and getting a couple of hundred dollars out of it. Anyone out there know of a good, reliable vehicle that can be gotten for a couple of hundred dollars??? I feel like some damned body owes us something for all we've given out!! I have a friend who keeps preaching to me about karma. Okay Gary, where the F*^# is the karma now??

I am so sick and tired of good, hard-working Americans doing the right thing and shelling out more and more every year so that the people who sneak across the borders or do nothing but sit home and collect Welfare, WIC, Food Stamps, free health care, free housing, etc. can just do whatever they want at our expense. Yeah, yeah...I know...they just want a better life. Well damnit, so do I!!!

Hey, Obama, where the hell is my hand-out? How about something from all of the dollars that I've donated to the federal coffers over the past 48 years?? How about giving my son a new car, or paying his mortgage? What about free daycare for the daughter that they are expecting in November? Where is the break for the people who do everything right and just get crapped on by life??

When is enough enough??
