far away. That makes this haunt’s floor-to-ceiling clown graphics disorienting at best and full-on traumatic if you never recovered from Stephen King’s Pennywise.

Dump the shelter, save the money, return to what it used to be.  Let the homeless sleep on the beach.  Are you elite using the beach at that time?  Let the unwashed, criminal, van dwellers sleep in their vans, they hurt no one.  The weird, the strange, the unusual are what made Key West what it is was. The greed, the developers, the KWPD, and the crooked commission have made it what it is.

I’m not a vet, but there’s 5 generations in my family who were. My father was a medic in the Marines on Normandy D-Day invasion, and he was only 19 years old. His three older brothers were killed in the Pacific fighting the Japanese empire. My father, at such a young age saw the most horrible shit mankind can do to each other. My father was never able to tell me war stories when I was a little boy. Every time a war movie was shown on TV, his hands would begin to shake. My father died at the young age of 50 years old due to cirrhosis of the liver. His scapegoat was getting drunk until it killed him. He didn’t die in the war, but the war ended up killing him. He died when I was only 14 years old.

My brother and 6 of my cousins went to Vietnam, and 4 of my cousins came back fucked up with PTSD, and 2 came back heroin addicts. They were in their late teens to early twenties. Both my sons and 2 nephews fought in Operation Iraqi Freedom. They were in their late teen years. Before they went off overseas, I sat them down and explained to them that they will be killing other human beings. I tried my best to prepare them for the reality of what they were about to see and experience. Because everyone goes to war believing the fantasy of what they see from Hollywood. I did my damn best to prepare them for what was coming so that it wouldn’t fuck them up mentally like it did to my other family members. I was successful in preparing them for war. Except for 1 of my nephews who took his PTSD to another level when he became a sergeant in the Marines, and would lead his crew wearing no shirt, no M-16, and would kick down doors to homes and slaughter everybody in his way with only a Rambo knife, while his squad was fully armored watching his back. This insane act almost cost him his leg in one confrontation with the enemy.

So what has your punk ass done? What get into fist fights in bars after you had a few drinks believing that your John Wayne or Chuck Norris? Beat your wife cause you’re a big man? I would love to meet you in the middle of Watson Field and go mano a mano with you and beat the living shit out of you, just to show you that you need to respect people. But then I know that if I give you a beat down, you’d call the cops on me and have me arrested, like the wuss ass bitch you are. Not only that, but I don’t want to be responsible for the trauma you will suffer after that beat down!

Libertarianism is a political philosophy that upholds liberty as its principal objective. Libertarians seek to maximize autonomy and freedom of choice, emphasizing political freedom, voluntary association and the preeminence of individual choice. Those beliefs mirror Republican beliefs. Like Republicans, they object to an overarching government, and embrace individual liberty.( Thanx for the endorsement!)

In 2008 Obama sent us a very clear signal of what would make him a dangerous president: “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

Valerie Jarrett, has gone on record with astonishing claims about the president’s brilliance? The following statement from 2010 is one of the most embarrassing displays of toadying I know of outside a Versailles fop or a Hollywood press agent: I think Barack knew that he had God-given talents that were extraordinary. He knows exactly how smart he is . . . He knows how perceptive he is. He knows what a good reader of people he is. And he knows that he has the ability — the extraordinary, uncanny ability — to take a thousand different perspectives, digest them and make sense out of them, and I think that he has never really been challenged intellectually . . . So what I sensed in him was not just a restless spirit but somebody with such extraordinary talents that had to be really taxed in order for him to be happy . . . He’s been bored to death his whole life. He’s just too talented to do what ordinary people do.

I think this about sums up our problem with this “genius”.

Actually, FTR didn’t spin the job growth numbers to make them look bad, the Libitards spin them to make them look good.

Panetta has recently published a book, “Worthy Fights”, that confirms the fact that Obama could and should have left a residual American military presence in Iraq in 2011. Several Obama admin higher ups confirm that Maliki could have been convinced to guarantee immunity for our troops, but Obama chose not to try. In the book he tells us that Obama elected not to do so for political reasons. Panetta is convinced that that Obama decision led directly to the ascendency of ISIS. He is convinced that we are now embroiled in a multigenerational war against AQI, ISIS, and many other jihadists off shoots of Muslim terrorism.

Panetta was there when the decisions were being made, but of course some will be dismissive of his revelations. That is until they read the recently released book by Robert Gates, “Duty.” Gates served both GWB and Obama as Secretary of Defense. He served until 2011. Gates is a forthright, no punches pulled public servant. He is respected by Democrats and Republicans. Gates too was highly critical of Obama, his decision making processes, and his disdain for the military.

Panetta’s book is only the latest of ex Obama insiders that are scathingly critical of him. That list includes David Axelrod, Obama’s long time loyal strategist. Robert Gibbs, Obama’s long time Press Secretary. Vali Nasr, in his book, “The Dispensable Nation” Vali Nasr depicted Obama as “dithering” on key Afghan war decisions, tasking national security aides with the same questions, rephrased in minor ways, over and over. Nasr was a key Mid East advisor for Obama. Hillary has been very critical of Obama in recent interviews and speeches. Even Bubba Clinton has been outspoken in his criticism of Obama. General Stan McChrystal was brutally critical of Obama and his administration. It cost him his job. A common theme runs through the criticism. The critics are questioning the honesty and integrity of Obama and his administration.

I believe that history will prove Panetta and the others to be spot on correct. I believe that we are in a conflict that will bedevil us for generations. Unless Obama recognizes the threat posed by militant Islam, and takes aggressive action, Iraq will fall to ISIS, Syria will fall to ISIS. Armed with the resources of those nations, they will then set about a massive campaign of terror, not just here, but worldwide. They will, one by one, take control of the Mideast Arabic nations. Israel will be doomed. Europe will be under siege, and they may even realize their dream of a worldwide caliphate.

ISIS is now winning,  our air power is not getting the job done. It’s not working because we have only made a few strikes, and we should have been saturating them. ISIS has taken the Syrian town of Kobani that is on the border between Syria and Turkey. While the Mideast burns with terrorism, Obama is off yet again fiddling around on a fund raising tour.

Part 2) It’s amazing what Governor Scott and his team has been able to accomplish in the last four years. They threw out the Obama playbook that Charlie Crist embraced. They cut taxes 40 times, reduced wasteful spending, and paid down our debt for the first time in decades. They have made Florida one of the top, if not the top, state for generating new jobs. Governor Scott and his team are proud of our state for all of the hard work that’s done.

But there’s more work to do. They are going to continue Florida’s turnaround with a $1 billion tax cut over the next two years and make our state the best place to live and raise a family.

Florida is flourishing under Governor Scott and Republican governance. Under Charlie Crist Florida withered.

Your vote is very important, please don’t fail to vote
