If You Are A Dallas Cowboys Fan/World According To Dallas Cowboys Fans

If You Are A Dallas Cowboys Fan/World According Dallas Cowboys Fans:

( In no particular order)

-- The Cowboys won the game because it is Cowboys God given right to win the game.
-- Our opponent team did not win the game but the cowboys handed the game over. The other teams are not capable of winning games. The other teams cannot win games on their own and we have to help them win. Our QB handed the game over. Other team’s QB does not know how to win games. They got some lucky breaks bounced at them.
-- The other team's victory against the Cowboys does not mean anything because the Cowboys posted better stats than the other team. They beat us by a few points anyway. The better team lost.
-- Never overlook the 5 superbowl rings our America’s team has. I wish God had created more than 5 fingers per hand.
-- Our (Cowboys) QB is better than yours. Just look at his stats.
-- If your QB has better stats than our (Cowboys) QB then it is because look at the teams you have played.
-- Our favorite word is: ‘if’. If not for … (fill in the blank) … we would have won the game.
-- We did lose our first playoff game and got knocked out in the first round but look at all the pro bowlers we have.
-- Look the Cowboys are ranked higher than your team and it is only week 2. Rankings do not lie. Those experts were hired because they know what they are doing.
-- If our team (Cowboys) is ranked low then it is because the people who rank teams are idiots and those so-called football experts do not know anything about professional football. Who hired those idiots anyhow? Rankings do not mean anything anyway.
-- We may not know how to build a team but we sure know how to build a stadium.
-- Please do not say anything bad about our QB but,
-- Your QB sucks.
-- That toilet bowl looking hole at the roof of the stadium is for God to look at the America's Team.
-- Jerry Jones is a business genius. Just look at the new monument Mahal he has built in Arlington Texas in memory of lack of GMs available for an NFL team.
-- We have the prettiest cheerleaders in the whole world.
-- We know that it is training camp but we are primed to win the superbowl this year. This is the best team on paper in the entire league. This year’s Cowboys might even go undefeated the entire season.
-- We should fire that ‘Son of a Bum’ coach.
-- All mothers should raise their sons to be Dallas Cowboys fans.
-- NFL should mail the Lombardy Trophy to the Dallas Cowboys after their first victory of the season. Dallas Cowboys are God's gift to the republic.
-- Our coaches can NEVER be outcoached.

-- Cowboys beat themselves.

-- Since we know everything, the other teams' fans opinions do not matter anyhow. When we cannot handle their logic we just launch a verbal attack towards their person and ridicule their avatars.

-- If we cannot beat your team on the field we will beat you in circular arguements proving that your players are not worthy of the same league as our cowboys.

-- Tom Landry invented football.
-- The Thanksgiving Day was invented because of the Dallas Cowboys.
-- There is a conspiracy to schedule the cowboys to play some winning record teams.

-- The refrees blew the game for the Cowboys.

-- Our linemen have no choice but to poke in the eyes or trip (even if it causes injury to) the opponents while protecting our QB. Cowboys are an elite team and we hold ourselves to a whole different level of standards. Our players are not going to commit a holding penalty like the players of other teams would in a similar situation. There is no comparison between the NFL flagship franchise The Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the ordinary teams in the league who are there just for the ride. Unlike other teams we do not commit lowly 5 yard penalties. We commit 15 yarders.

-- I wish the Dallas Cowboys were allowed to carry and use pepper spray while protecting their own QB and/or while attacking the others' QBs.

POEM: Three Dimensional Hallucinations

Your own life,
Cries on your shoulder, pal
You get no information from it
You give no information to it
And there's no more room for negotiation.
Is this what you wanted all long?

You are your own demon,
Escorting yourself to your own hell
Of your three dimensioanl hallucinations
Are your vultures circling overhead.
You are sleepwalking.
You have to free yourself from your self.
The most important time is now.


I know some people you cannot change,
But you can start with changing yourself.
Stop acting like your woes are your trophies.
There is no need to change nicknames
To make new friends.
Just change yourself.

My Post At Kelly's Obit Guestbook

I am shocked at passing away of Kelly. I had known her only for a few years through Legislative District meetings and the party work we did together. She was a very dedicated Republican party member and worked hard gathering petitions and conducting voter registrations. she always opened her door to any meeting or party- espeically the Christmas party as well as meet and greet/fund raising for the candidates. She always had that smile on her face that is on the picture here.Once in a while we used to carpool to political meetings/functions.I was recently thinking of calling her on phone to see how she has been doing when and then I heard of this news.Your name will live in Arizona historical circles and your dedication and hard work for the party will be missed.Kelly, it was nice to know you and your twins you for last 3 years. I will miss you friend.

Because of the difference of intent.

To understand what I am about,
You will have to put your hand on my heart

The best university is nowhere else,
But within you.

And it is destiny of people like me
To write about people like you.

POEM: Earth, Wind, Water and Fire

If I am earth and you are air,
It is easy for us to pair.
You bring water and I fire,
Thus we will be everywhere.

POEM: DOOR

(HAZRAT ©2003)

By a different set of rules,
You ban me yet you leave the door open!
This makes you leave the door half open and half closed.
And at times you do close the door on me too!

Tell me that after you have shut the door on me
Who will shut the eyes of the door?
And if you verily close your own eyes also,
Do you imagine that you will blind your thoughts of me too!

I may be outside, but my thoughts and thoughts of me are inside.
Whether you merit my feelings or not--
--Whether you think of: whether you think of me or not,
I will carry on being the passionate spirit that I am

Making others look bad will not guarantee you to become good!
You cannot become bigger by reducing others!
By trying to erase someone you have branded yourself instead!
Victim of your own actions,
You did not shut me out but shut yourself in!

While I am at the door,
And you are inside,
Celebrating your other set of rules,
Think of this if you would--
--Who is the winner and who is the loser,
In the moments of awe and triumph!

And since I am used to this side of the gate,
Do you know that this place and its door,
Know me better than they know you!
When you are not around I have watched the door.
So, you may shut the door on me
But can you shut the eyes and thoughts too!

Rob Haney's Open Letter to Matt Salmon about McCain

This is an open letter by Rob Haney to Arizona Republican Party's state Chair Matt Salmon regarding Sen. McCain's (RINO -Arizona) attack on Don Goldwater.


Dear Matt,

In taking note of McCain's reprehensible attack on Don Goldwater's character ("lack of respect for basic values of a generous and decent society"), I am reminded of your admonishment at the start of the campaign. To paraphrase, "I will take to the woodshed anyone who would stoop to mudslinging a fellow Republican gubernatorial candidate no matter from which corner the mud was thrown."

In light of the fact that the report from which McCain made his mud patties was completely bogus, and for which McCain did no verification, and offered no apology, I wonder when we will hear the pangs of pain and regret from McCain as a result of your woodshed thrashing?

Or is this just another example of the double-standard approach when it comes to McCain? He can say anything, drive people from the Party, make a shamble of his oath to protect and defend our Constitutional rights to free speech and to own a fire arm, and to protect us from invasion, and yet he is exempt from criticism from Republican Party Officials.

Too bad McCain wouldn't rail with such vitriol against illegal aliens or terrorists as he has against Goldwater. Instead, he wants to give illegal aliens social security benefits and insists that we not hurt the feelings of terrorists during interrogation.

It is patently clear that McCain's attack was motivated by Goldwater's strong opposition to McCain's amnesty (banana) legislation, and because of the Minutemen's endorsement of Goldwater. It was not due to any feelings of deep offense which necessitated McCain to ask state Republicans to reject Goldwater's candidacy.

This man is an embarrassment to all of us who base our political beliefs on the Party Platform and the Constitution. We cannot win elections by dissing the base... reference Bush 1 and Dole. Shushing activists for daring to point out that McCain is causing the Party to fracture is disingenuous. It is no secret. The person energizing our base is Napolitano, the one de-energizing our base is McCain.

At least Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Dennis Prager, Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity, Michael Medved, and Hugh Hewitt are exposing McCain's blunders almost daily. Maybe with the talk show hosts assistance, the grass roots activists will be able to give us a different candidate for president. It is sure certain the Republican hierarchy will not take him to task. Will their silence not make them complicit in his folly as he takes us off the cliff?

It is the Party Platform we coalesce around. Must we base the success or failure of the Party on one arrogant politician? I have heard your Party unity lecture too many times. I guess Party unity does not apply to McCain, eh Matt?


Sincerely,

Rob Haney
Republican Party Chairman

Scent of flowers
Entering through window

SOME KHANCEPTS 1

Here are some quotes from my various poetry and prose writings. I call them my Khancepts:

--The crowd that hates spends a lot of time with nothing.

--He who has a one track mind of beliefs flogs himself with his indifference.

--Whenever I want to know more of the real you, you look even better.

--You cannot resist knowing yourself if you realize who you really are.

--Certainly the pleasures of the flesh have only a small part in the plan of life.

--Someone who is always gossiping because (s)he has nothing better to do has not even begun to understand the problem.

--Burned-out light bulbs are only to be expected to have shadows.


--God is the one who has made all things and all the experts cannot upgrade anything. All the great inventors, thinkers and religions light from his candle.

--Some preachers are not suited for the job until they are willing to learn from those who they preach to.

--You have lost touch with yourself because you dwell in your scars and you cannot listen to your own self in your condition.

--You have no more ideas then you can think. Hypnotized you wear your radius of lies like armor of truth

--You are like a bolt of lightning inside a muddy path. At the same time you are in the light of candles as well as the light itself. You can make your every moment an impressively well-designed story.

--In the light of death, life seems more real than ever before. Death says it wants to kill you because your body has run out of time and no previous experience is required. And you feel yourself turning into your own judge.

--When you have found your real true self, it is like God noticing his own reflection.

POEM: With Apologies To Silent

This is actually a single poem split in style and presentation. It is a unique poem in the way it is written. It is also a visual peom. First section of the poem in on the left margin and the second section is on the right margin.

With Apologies To Silent

With Apologies

Imagine what the society would be like,
If some people would not be passive bystanders--
The mute voluntary martyrs to state of affairs.


The public that does not verbalize
Lets others dictate the decisions compiled.
Your silence is unpromised
Corroboration by default of opposites.


You end up helping the ones you should fight!


And with this simple complexity,
Humanity consequences through so much,
As life’s hardships get harder.

To Silent

Do not allow lying rhetoric police your thoughts,
Because in the realities of what matters--
Same things are important to us communally.


Please become an active participant
Be part of the cause with us.
And in midst of chaos of logic
Let us wash the wounds of common dreams.


Or at least pretend just for a moment!


Pretend that you are me,
And immersed in your values,
Sift the words from your soul.

Please Oppose the Misrepresented 'Your Right to Vote' Initiative

I have seen several people who carry the petitions for the 'Your Right To Vote'. Every time I ask them what it is about, they tell me that the initiative is to have automatic mail-ballots to be mailed to people.

So far so good. What they do not tell you is that the initiative calls for ALL ballots to be cast by mail. Idea is to rid of the traditional way of voting, i.e. that you do not have to go and get in line, tell who you are or proof of citizenship, get a ballot and mark the person/issue you are voting on etc. Sure it is a good idea to figure out a way to eliminate the long lines.

Here is the actual info from the Secretary of State’s website about the initiative:

“The single purpose of this initiative is to ensure that all registered voters are automatically mailed ballots from the election official before every election. Automatically mailed ballots shall be in proper form for voting, have all necessary instructions and shall be accompanied by a postage paid first class return envelope to the election official. A limited number of county-wide polling places shall remain open on election days for on site voting and for voters to return of automatically mailed ballots”.


Last year at a meeting the founder of this movement in Arizona said that special ballot mailboxes will be available for the voters to drop their ballots. My question is that how are they going to secure the votes. With all the problems that I had with the Bush-Cheney signs disappearing, I’m concerned that there is a big possibility of tampering of the votes. Anyone can drop a burnt cigarette in these vote boxes and burn the ballots.

Another thing that I do not like is that people are being conned into signing the petition. The part about voting in person is being eliminated is not being told. If this initiative passes, people would not know that the polling places are not going to be open for voting on election day. A limited number of places will be open for people to drop their mail in votes.

I request people to not to sign this petition and in fact oppose it. Fact is that I heard it myself that they want to get rid of polling places and that all the votes should be by Mail only. I am worried that this is going to lead to a lot of voter fraud. It also conflicts directly with Prop 200 that was passed by the citizens in 2004. Anyone can get a ballot and mail. Unauthorized people can cast ballots for others.

All These Poems In The Head & an Untitled Poem

This has been one busy weekend with a convention and all. Now, I have to help start organize something for a friend tomorrow.

I sat down to write a poem and ended up with several. I really wanted to have a prose for today's blog. As we know by my nature I am a poet and am evolving into an activist poet but what people do not know is that I can have few hundred poems in my head at any given time. All this really is not that bad and is not a burden on daily activities. In fact other things going on can help shape a poem.


Below is an unitled poem:


Untitled:

Go ahead, congratulate yourself
You are in control. You are the overlord
And in order to hide the real state of affairs
Your usurped authority is banning
Ideas from your own people.
You ask for opinion, then censure it.
Power does not make you a leader
You are not even a follower.

TRUTH ABOUT TRUTH

There are no versions of truth,
You cannot simplify it,
Or exceed its own standards.
You cannot fake it.
Truth is complete in itself.
Truth is absolute.

Truth does not need to be justified.
A single truth is greater,

Than all lies of the world combined.

Return To Sender?

I wonder if Don is going to get an answer from the president or will it be a typical return to sender attitude govermnet has towards the grassroots.

OPEN LETTER TO PRES. BUSH (by DON GOLDWATER)

May 17, 2006

Greetings!

(PHOENIX, AZ) May 17, 2006 – Don Goldwater, the leading Republican candidate for Governor, released the following open letter to the President of the United States and the citizens of Arizona regarding his ‘reform of America’s immigration system’.

Mr. President, as a supporter of your candidacy for President in both 2000 and 2004 who worked countless hours for your election, I am very disheartened by the failure of your administration to take decisive steps to adequately protect this country and the Arizona citizens from enemies both foreign and domestic. My concern is heightened when this failure is put in the context of a post-9/11 world.

Mr. President, you are following the script encapsulated in the transparent election year political ploy of the ultra-liberal governor of this state. Her ‘Emergency Declaration’ stated she was sending the National Guard to secure the border. Later we found out that she deployed a few dozen to do vehicle maintenance. Trying to secure our open border using that template is doomed at its inception.

Mr. President, the liberty of many of our citizens has been taken from them and the very lives of many men, women and children are at risk on a daily basis in my state. To send unarmed National Guard troops to the border is merely increasing the potential pool of victims at risk from the international criminal cartels who use armored vehicles to violate our sovereignty.

Mr. President, I need not remind you that this is a War; that Arizona is being invaded by millions of illegal aliens; and that many of the illegal aliens are drug runners, human traffickers and terrorists. I implore you to issue an Executive Order this week to defend America from her enemies. As Commander-in- Chief, do not allow this national security threat to be decided by a majority vote of 535 politicians.

To the citizens of Arizona:

This total failure by the federal government compounded by the inaction of our governor to take the necessary steps to protect our citizens is a prime reason that I decided to become a candidate for Governor of Arizona. In contrast to all the other candidates in this election, I detailed my plan to deal with this illegal invasion months ago – long before the marches and protests. My comprehensive plan on this issue is why Chris Simcox, Russell Pearce and the other leaders of Proposition 200 have strongly endorsed my candidacy. (See http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=mpcvsvbab.0.hj7xsvbab.oc4flpbab.18&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.goldwaterforgovernor.org%2Ffor more information)

First, we must secure the border by constructing a fence/wall complex, positioning ground/air radar and ground sensors, placing the National Guard on the border performing normal military functions, not restricted to vehicle maintenance and logistics, and build a “tent city” to house the detained illegal aliens near the border so they will be close to their work detail – building the wall and cleaning up the desert. If a fence/wall doesn’t work why is there one around the White House?

Second, we must eliminate the economic lure caused by bloated government give-away programs. I will issue a directive on my first day in office instructing ALL state government personnel to apply all federal and state laws to insure that illegal aliens are not getting taxpayer dollars.

Third, I will ask the Legislature to place on my desk within fifteen days of opening session, a bill to prevent so called “Sanctuary City” policies. Local police officers must be allowed to identify and detain illegal aliens as a normal function of their daily duties. Day labor centers for illegal aliens will not be allowed to continue operation.

Fourth, I will sign a bill to identify employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens and proscribe proper steps to eliminate the blatant violation of our state labor laws. Our Arizona Department of Homeland Security will be adequately funded to implement the necessary steps to protect our legal work force.

It is important to remember that illegal aliens have made the same choice as a burglar to violate the law. We should not give either a pass (amnesty) simply because they come from an impoverished background. As governor, I will fight this assault on our citizens and together we will return a respect for the law to everyone -- legal and illegal.

Sincerely,

Don Goldwater

Goldwater for Governor

CITY COUNCIL RESULTS

It seems that Bob Littlefield won. We are still waiting for some early ballots to be counted. But the lead Bob has from all the precints reporting, is good enough to help him win the reelction. This is good for the city of Scottsdale.

Prop 402 did pass. This I was not in favor of.

The way these propositions and bonds are solicited to be passed is just outrageous. They always figure out a way to take more money out of our pockets.

This gives me an idea of a poem. I will post that seperate right after this.

Scottsdale City Council Runoff May 2006

This is how I will be voting in the election tomorrow:

1) City councilman runoff: BOB LITTLEFIELD

2) Proposition 402: NO

Bob is fiscally conservative. Looking at the issues that are on the Scottsdale City Council we need to resend him.

SOME ISSUES:

1) It is pretty bad when the city manager is also the treasurer. After the runoff is over I am going to push for an independant treasurer in Scottsdale. Unlike other cities, we do not have an independent treasurer in Scottsdale. Currently the treasurer is part of City manager’s office. So the current treasurer reports to the city manager and it is the city manager that decides the matters then reports to the city council. This is too much consolidation of power. We need to create/charter a city treasurer position and the treasurer should report to the city council that in turn represents the voters. We need a separation of CFO from the CEO.

Bob Littlefield has been pushing the idea of an independent city treasurer and if he is reelected he is going to make treasurer as first thing on the agenda. With Bob reelected, there will be 4 out of 7 votes in favor of the treasure position. With the changes that happened in March election has helped with that extra vote that Bob needed and this is why IT IS CRITICAL to send Bob back in the runoff election.

2) I am tired of this over-tax and spending by the government(s) at all levels. All kinds of tactics are used to con us into taxing us again and again then when they get the money, they misuse it. If they were using it correctly they would not need the more and more and more! We need to pay attention to the city councils too and get the handle on our own money. Current Prop 402 is such a tactic that will really burden us with more money out of our pockets to the city government. If we add up all the taxes we pay (sales, income, property etc) it has started to border 50% or more of the income for some people. When all the forms taxes add upto 60% plus the middle class vanishes from that country. That is where we will be in a few years if we do not watch it.

Poem: Uninterviewed Anonymous Writer

Uninterviewed Anonymous Writer


Maybe you had raised your voice
But the authority had shut your mouth.
So you covered your face yourself,
Either to hide or in agony
And sent a scrap of parchment.

But due to the named namelessness,
In the faded lights
The writer and the message
Became a pillar of salt
In a wall painting.

Time will tell,
Whether you
Were filled with spirit
Or was it spitefulness.

Poem: Forecast

(For some reason I have a feeling that this poem is incomplete. This is the only poem of mine that after all this time feels like it is yet in progress.)

Forecast


If the news updates and forecast were to merge
This in morning news would emerge:

Two cops will be shot in broad daylight.
War for peace will begin to thunder. Bombs will shower.
Politicians will break more promises. Hundred percent chances.

At least one highway death per US state today. Weather may not be the cause.
Death sentence for a killer because killing is bad. Murder continues!
Several kidnappings. Hostages killed with lightening speed.
An ill homeless to die in despair in rough weather.
Television and Internet will continue to take family time away. Families become cold.
People will worship their religions. Clear sky is the limit here.
Starving poets and artists taken for granted like lonely stars in heavens.
Children will suffer painful agony in all lands. Stars are fading.
Another cloudy teenage suicide at fast-food drive thru--
--While parents at home watched TV.
A promised medicine will be recalled after millions have been made.
Radars show that the country will be more divided

Tourists get mugged in muggy streets

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

As a citizen of the United States of America, if this will not get you upset then what will?! This was displayed at a place in America on one of the illegal alien demonstration days.

Lot of people have sacrified their lives for the American flag and continue to do so. Yet some lawmakers seem to forget that they took a pledge of allegiance to the US flag. Their love for the illegals is blinding them to see what is taking place right in front of their eyes. Take a close look at this picture with two flags.

You insist on legalizing the same illegals who are continously disrecpecting US and her flag. Illegal entry into US is illegal entry period. What part of illegal does not enter your understanding? I am sure that there are more than 12 million marijuana users in the US. Is legalization of marijuana on your list too?

If you assert that they should remain in US, then why don't each of you adopt an illegal family and bring them to your own homes while you take care of them from your own personal pockets instead of their being a burden on the taxpayers. Why do you discredit the people that come to US legally. People that come to the US legally have to show proof that they will not be a burden on the taxpayers. That is a visa requirement.

Next time the illegals go on their so-called strike, are they going to boycott the free social programs too or are they going to abuse the system as usual. 'We, the people' are tired of the invasion and disrespect shown towards us. Enough is enough!

==> Now, I am not picking on just the Mexicans here. This is just an example of what happens when the rules are not followed and people are let in withiut visas etc. I don't like anyone who is not a US citizen or a permanent resident (green card holder) who enters USA territory without visa. Does not matter which country or continent they come from but they have to have visa to enter USA. This is the law and all countries have the same rule and this is why a passport is issued. Why is it that some of us need to get visa and some of us dont? Took me years to get my paperwork done because of redtape issues.

My specialization in poetry is writing ghazals but for now I am going to post some Haikus.

Why KHANCEPTS

For the title of my blog, I have used my own created word 'Khancepts' which is a pun on my last name 'Khan' and the word 'concepts'. I generally use this word for my own poetry and prose writings. I decided to use Khancepts here to share my ideas and even feelings with fans, friends and future friends. Most of my writings are poetic, mystical and philosophical so the word khancepts accommodates very well. At times I do write about the issues I may be involved in as an activist.

I have over twenty thousand (20,000) pages of my own writings (almost all of it poetry) and I continue to add pages. I do have a following for my writings and here I can post my current and some past work. My penname is 'Hazrat' and since there are two other poets that write with the name of Hazrat, I have also been called 'Hazrat Amreeki', i.e. 'Hazrat the American'. This is to distinguish me from the other two writers of the same name. All the poetry here is my own and whether specified or not I do own the copyrights to the poems. If it is not my work, I will mention the writer/poet name, or let you know that it is someone else's work. Thanks.
