Down With Capitalism Up With Crisis!

2009-09-14T08:58:00.002-05:00

The Killing of Capitalism Continues.

This morning on Fox News (9/14/09) Juan Williams was being interviewed about the so called racial component behind Joe Wilson’s “you lie” outburst in the senate. This does not surprise me one bit, democrats seeing a racist in all Republicans. And they wonder why they can not get along. Oh it is a black president, you disagree with him, you are a bigot, racist, good ole boy, redneck and the list goes on.

This is not what I want to focus on. I want to focus on Sept. 13th ;on CNN State Of the Union Live, with white house spokesman Robert Gibbs said after the comments about Sen. Joe Wilson. He said that we were going to be celebrating on Monday the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Just that one sentence alone should be more charged than Joe Wilson’s “you lie.”

Here is the entire quote for you to gaze upon. Just so you do not accuse me of taking anything out of context. That argument seems to only work one way anymore.

“People are upset because on Monday we celebrate the anniversary of the Lehman Brothers collapse that caused a financial catastrophe unlike anything we’ve ever seen,” Gibbs said on CNN’s “State of the Union” program. The rescue of financial institutions and automakers General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC “cost a lot of money, but it’s something that we had to do.”

Even if Robert did not mean to phrase it that way, “celebrate” the collapse of an industry, this was a mother of a Freudian slip if any. Not only do these guys not waste a crisis, but apparently they also celebrate them.

This is definitely change and hope…for the worst.

Some of you out there, I hope you are starting to wake up to the reality that Barack Hussein Obama does not have your best interest at heart, but his own, which we are seeing is very Anti-American.

National Health Care is Coming The Constitution is No More!

2009-09-03T11:44:00.002-05:00

Long Live the Commonwealth and The Constitution Be Damned!

Do you remember the movie V is for Vendetta, well that apparently is to be played out here in the land of the Free and the home of the Brave. This movie started out with a very nasty virus and someone had a cure and took over the nation for the public safety.

Let me start out first by saying that this is no plot for a scifi movie. This is legislation that is being brought forth in several states, not just the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Several other states have put together laws and plans in case of a pandemic outbreak of a disease. This years flavor or excuse to take more Constitutional freedoms away, the H1N1 virus.

The bill in Massachusetts tramples all over the 4th amendment, the 6th amendment and could even violate the 2nd amendment. The 2nd comes in because the legislation states that all infected materials shall be removed and destroyed. They do consider your domicile to be infected until it is disinfected and they can and will enter into your property without a warrant or permission, this is a health CRISIS you know. These are suspension of rights that would make even President Lincoln happy. Back to the 2nd amendment; your guns are in your house and you have come into contact with them, and they now are deemed to have the H1N1 or whatever virus on them. In order to make them safe you have to disinfect them, if not then they have to be disposed of, in the name of public safety of course.

The 6th amendment, which guarantees you a speedy trial is done away with here. You are sick so you are guilty of public endangerment. If you refuse to get help then you face imprisonment and fines for NON COMPLIANCE. Your jail term is mandatory until you are well.

The 4th amendment is as follows. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, HOUSES, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. The Massachusetts law says that everything in the domicile is considered infected and no permission is needed to enter the domicile or business of the infected.

This is how it is going to start, with the “public safety” in mind. The Constitution is there to protect the sick and those who are well. And Barack Obama is hell bent on a government control of the health in this nation. I don’t think so!

Here is the full story with excerpts from the Massachusetts bill.

Unions Vs. Auto Dealerships

2009-07-21T12:51:00.002-05:00

Unions, standing in the gap for the little guy. Unions, standing in the gap for those who are getting the shaft from the Big Guys. Unions have been historically a way to level the playing field for the workers and to help the workers live better, so the bumper sticker goes. But that is where it stops.

You will realize this once you read this article.
Washington AP Jul 21 11:12 AM US/Eastern By KEN THOMAS
Associated Press Writer
Obama auto task force warns against dealer plan

The entire article here. Breitbart is a wonderful place to read news that is new(my words of course).
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99ITLG00&show_article=1&catnum=0

So what does this have to do with Unions. Well Ron Bloom, who is the point man for the Obama administration, who is working on this huge car bail out mess, is a huge Union man himself. Working for the United Steelworkers Union, Service Employees International Union and for the Jewish Labor Union. He worked as an investment banker and even owned a boutique firm. Apparently there was not enough money in that to keep his interests. Or maybe the company they owned threatened to Unionize on him.

So this guy now finds himself in the belly of the Union Beast fighting against the very same individuals that he was supposed to care about. Funny how being in power will do that to you.

Well the legislation that this “Union Man” opposes would not only give time to the dealers but also relieve them, for the most part, of their obligations to the Teamsters pensions. The Teamsters are the ones who transport the vehicles from the factory to the dealers. When in doubt follow the money. This bill in congress would also give some auto dealers temporary protection from millions in withdrawal fees owed to a Union pension plan.

Here is the link for this article
http://www.startribune.com/politics/47478817.html

Even the car dealers are being pinched by the Union thugs and they are out of business, for now. But you know what, we must protect that which is Union, no matter what the cost is to the other guy.

I can see why the bumper sticker says “Live Better, Work Union”. I mean even after you destroy an industry you get more money out of a pension from that destroyed industry. How cool is that!

So this big car guy in the Government is trying his best to kill off what is left of “real working Americans”. Yes I said real working Americans, because these guys have to work with out a safety net and do not take a Union brake for this or that. So I do not want to hear from you “we work hard too, at our Unionized $20 hour job with benefits and full vacations” crowd. It will fall on deaf and unsympathetic ears.

Here is a thought, why does not Ron Bloom cut back benefits for the Unions, you know, to spread the wealth around a little bit. Level the playing field for all and not just the “chosen” few.

What We Celebrate!

2009-07-02T23:24:00.002-05:00

This 4th of July let us not forget what and why we are celebrating. It is not the loud explosions or the displays of bright colors, but of the human spirit yearning to be and becoming free. The ideal that we as a people have found a way that allows us to explore our greatest potential and encourage others to do the same.

The 4th is more than just another day in a year that we have cook outs, play patriotic music and light off fireworks. This is a day that a group of men gathered together and signed a document that caused them to become criminals and traitors. This document they signed was more than just the beginning of our Union but that of our freedoms and reaching into an unknown way of life.

This Declaration of Independence set us on a collision course with the most powerful navy and army of the time. It spelled out the grievances and atrocities that had been thrust upon a population. The simple fact that ones thoughts and speech could land you in prison was contrary to nature and to the soul of mankind to speak and hear the truth.

Our freedom of the press was once considered libelous and when asked why the truth should be shunned in such a manner, we were told that the truth was not a defense for libel. The truth shall set you free, or if the truth is never heard will imprison you. As a saying “If you tell a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it.” Only the truth will shorten the way of a long told tale

Great Men and Women have fought and died so that this great document would guarantee our Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. So much blood went to water the Tree of Liberty so that its branches will give life to so many others and provide shade in the heat of tyranny. We must tend it regularly or it may wither in the sun of discontent and complacency.

Given to so many to entrust with a Liberty so dear, we must hold on with determination, even unto death as has been before and will come again. “Give me liberty or give me death” is more than a motto, it is a declaration of our taking the reigns freedom and riding toward destiny. To take back that which is our birthright, to declare to the world “come here and be free or stay there and be slaves.”

Our land is one of opportunity, to explore and cherish, to create your own destiny with out the interference of those who think they know you better than yourself. To give into the natural yearning to be free of oppression, to innovate, to create, to be the best that God wants us to aspire too. Even those who do not believe in the higher cause you are encouraged to be the best.

To deny the greatness of this land is to spit in the face of Destiny and Liberty, to despoil all the works and the blood that was shed, so that we could be a light unto the world that lives in the darkness of oppression.

So this Independence day lift up a light and proudly proclaim that you love this land, that you are a part of this “grand experiment” into human innovation, bringing freedom to millions and millions more to come.

And may Almighty God bless our wonderful nation and put the fire of freedom into each and every one of us.

Jason W. Hall.

Finally Justice……Also Some Ignorance!

2009-06-29T13:42:00.005-05:00

You are wandering down a dark corridor and you see a door, you open the door and you see a sign; CAUTION: you have now just entered “The Demwitted Zone!

For your consideration, in recent light of the New Haven Conn. Firefighters case that came before the Supreme Courts. Should white firefighters be denied the opportunity to advance because no blacks were able to pass the exams for Lieutenant and Captain.

The Supreme Court thought that was stupid too (5-4). But………………

In dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said the white firefighters "understandably attract this court's sympathy. But they had no vested right to promotion. Nor have other persons received promotions in preference to them."

Whites have no “vested right to promotion,” does this strike you as “whitey go home!” And that the whites “attract this court’s sympathy,” attract sympathy, like you would for a lost dog, as you drive by him in the rain an splash water on him and say “he is so cute.”

Just that one dissent speaks volumes about those who want “racial equality” in our country, they don’t! If they did then this case would, like Sotomayor, be a no brainer to figure out. But hey far it be from me to tell others how they should be or live, I am one of those whackos who believe you should be allowed to be the best you are no matter what you skin color is. Oh yeah by the way, Sotomayor even admitted that here test scores were not the best and benefited from preferences while in law school.

We are in trouble when we start to think that one set of standards are to be applied to one group of people and an entirely different set to another.

But hey, thanks to the former ACLU lawyer (D) for sticking up for the downtrodden, right.

We Owe David Duke an Apology.

2009-05-30T00:39:00.005-05:00

So let me get this straight, I can not under pain of punishment, go out 90 day before a national election and run an ad against a candidate. But I can stand in front of a polling place wielding a nightstick and dressed in black fatigues intimidating people who go into vote, hoping that they, the targets of my intimidation, will not vote.

Again the news is this, the members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense of wielding a nightstick and intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling place last Election Day, was acquitted of charges that they violated the civil rights of voters today. They were told not to do it again and that was that.

Boy if that had been a white boy or a Klans man we would still be hearing about it today, but these were B.O’s homies and that can not be allowed to stand as convictable action, never mind that B.O. stated during his campaign that he would go after civil rights abuses. And to make things worse one of the three men had DEMOCRATIC credentials as a poll watcher but I think that is more par for the course.

Just think if this had been a white man or woman doing this exact same thing but in a militia uniform. There would be riots and civil rights marches but instead we have to find out about on Drudge Report and Fox News.

Now this combined with the Sonya Sotomayor is more of the same old same old that you would expect from a glorified “community activist.”

Even civil rights lawyers who went through the 1960's were shocked at the Attorney General of the US letting these goons go.

People you need to wake up this man is out to pay whitey back and pay him back in spades.

Michelle Obama Very High Maintenance!

2009-05-01T08:18:00.004-05:00

$540 for a pair of sneakers. Wow that is great that Michelle Obama can go and spend that kind of money. And they are not just any sneakers, they are French design house lanvin. Of course her stressful and demanding day requires that she wears only comfortable shoes. Walking the dog is such a great hassle if it were not for great shoes. Hey lady have you not heard of Shoe Carnival or Wal-Mart or even Target and K-Mart, I yeah that would be too low class for her tastes.

I wonder whose wealth they had to spread around for that? We have been told by this administration that wealth is so gauche (low class) and did not they learn to forgo “middleclassness.” I seem to remember a certain Church Of Christ Pastor, teaching against just this such extravagances.

The $540 dollars could have went to help someone who was unemployed or help someone homeless. Or how about this one $540 sneakers never helped to feed a hungry child ( thank you Bill Clinton for that.)

You know for a household who seems to tell the rest of us to tighten our belts, sure does seem to loosen theirs. Living the high life is something that even the best of socialists cannot avoid. The one truth in life is this; there will always be the poor, so do not pontificate about being frugal when you buy $540 dollar shoes.

Here is the link to this wonderfully “rich” article!

Respect the Mexican Flag or Else!

2009-04-14T17:00:00.005-05:00

Well here is just one more example of how we are to respect the customs and flags of other countries.

The Mexican ambassador to Spain is up set at an ad in which Burger King uses a tall cowboy and a short Mexican wrestler that is wearing a cape with the Mexican flag on it.

Apparently Mexico is strict about the use of its flag and does not reciprocate those feelings toward our flag to the immigrants that they encourage to come to the U.S.

We know they have very strict immigration laws; now we find out they have strict flag observance laws. Why do they trash our values and symbols but yet there will be hell to pay if we disrespect them.

This is why people like myself are embittered toward immigrants who disrespect our flag and our customs. I know, I know, they are here to do the work that Americans do not want to do (right G.W.) Yeah, about that, I am sure right now Americans are saying any job is better than no job, and to hell with the migrant worker.

Oh by the way the American flag in the U.S. flies above the Mexican flag always, so take a flying leap you United State-ophobic freaks!

Here is this infuriating sorry story

Mexico slams Burger King for 'whopper' of insult

Apr 13 07:28 PM US/Eastern
By MARK STEVENSON
Associated Press Writer

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico is protesting what it says is a whopper of an insult.
An advertisement for Burger King's chili-flavored "Texican" burger that has run in Europe shows a small wrestler dressed in a cape resembling a Mexican flag. The wrestler teams up with a lanky American cowboy twice his height to illustrate the cross-border blend of flavors.

"The taste of Texas with a little spicy Mexican," a narrator's voice says.

The much-taller cowboy boosts the wrestler up to reach high shelves and clean tall windows, while the Mexican helps the cowboy open a jar.

Mexico's ambassador to Spain said Monday he has written a letter to Burger King's offices in that nation objecting to the ad and asking that it be removed. Jorge Zermeno told Radio Formula that the ads "improperly use the stereotyped image of a Mexican."

Press officials at Burger King Corp. offices in Miami, Florida, and Madrid, Spain, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Burger King is known for its signature Whopper hamburger.

One of the things that most angered Mexican officials was a print edition of the ad showing the wrestler wearing what appear to be a Mexican flag as a cloak.

(Here is the part of the story that will upset you!)
"We have to tell these people that in Mexico we have a great deal of respect for our flag," Zermeno said.

Mexico has very strict rules about using the flag. In 2008, the government fined a foreign-owned publishing house, Random House Mondadori SA, for showing disrespect to the country's flag in a video posted online.

The video showed a literature fan wearing a Mexican flag like a cape as he barges into a book signing and rips a piece of cloth from the coat of Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho.

It is not the first time that fast-food outlets have offended Mexican sensibilities.

Mexicans and other Hispanics in the United States objected to a Taco Bell ad from the 1990s that featured a pint-sized talking Chihuahua that spoke with a Mexican accent.

B.O. Our Embarrassment But a Socialists Dream

2009-04-02T23:01:00.003-05:00

Dude where is the Keg!

After the G(whiz)20 summit and an end to “Post-War Anglo-Saxon Capitalism”

Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s president, said that agreement on a new regulatory regime and crackdown on tax havens showed that “a page has been turned” on an era of post-war “Anglo- Saxon” capitalism.

This is a little surprising since he threatened to walk out of the talks and the Brits have been warning that you can not tax and spend your way out of a recession as deep as this one had been. Are we even surprised at this latest development. Limbaugh was right when he said that all the talk over BO not getting the reception that he would want, was a bunch of BS. BO fulfilled his socialist/fascist wish list. It is apparent that the fix was already in even before BO went over the pond. He did not want to be embarrassed if things had fallen through.

But there is one surprise, the Chinese, as world leaders are threatening to black list tax havens such as Hong Kong.

The summit ended with smiles as a dispute between China and France over the blacklisting of tax havens – including possibly Hong Kong and Macao – continued behind the scenes

.

You have to understand that the Chinese are the epitome of socialism (yeah I also know they are communist), why would they want to have a tax haven on their soil, maybe capitalism is looking really good to them right now. You have to admit it is real strange that the Chinese government got rid of capital gains taxes in order to spur economic growth (hey BO are you listening.)

Any how; on to my gratuitous comparison between how BO is being treated to how former President Bush would have been treated.

Giving Her Majesty an iPod, how gauche, besides she already has one. Well its not like he has not given other British officials cheap gifts, remember the DVD’s to the PM.

Just imagine if this had been former President Bush, that would have been comic fodder to last into summer reruns and not to mention what Micheal Moore would have done with that (he would wet himself producing another "documentary.") And a barrage of “G.W. is soooooooooooooo stupit” stories would have pumped the dragging ratings of MSNBC and others (you know the 20 or so people who watch it.)

I am sooooooooo glad that I am an Amerikan (that’s the teleprompter not me, honest.)

You have to be glad that we elected this idiot, now we will know the next time around, if there is a next time around, the truth squad may be hunting me down so I should stay out of Missouri.

Obama Is Dumb, Oh Wait That Was Bush, Right?

2009-03-20T14:29:00.002-05:00

This will be a very short blog entry. B.O. on J. Leno insulted the Special Olympics. They were talking about the president bowling and B.O. likened his score to bowling with the Special Olympics.

Now to be fair I am sure a lot of sporting types out there have made that off cuff remark to their buddies when they are talking smack. But if this would have been G. W. Bush, Cheney, Dan Quayle, or any other Republican… the outrage would be enormous. The two faced, hypocritical press would be calling for impeachment or to have the “bums thrown out.”

Again tell me that Bush is stupid when we have this no talent butt clown in office using the disabled for a joke.

Some one get the duct tape, enough said.

My Advice for Meghan McCain.

2009-03-17T10:26:00.002-05:00

Meghan McCain is one good looking nut that did not fall far from the tree. She claims that she has not been a Republican for very long; but like her father she is missing the whole idea of why she will be branded a RHINO in the not to distant future.

She completely misses the whole idea of freedom of speech as does her dear old daddy, can anybody say McCain Feingold. Yeah Ann Coulter can come off as abrasive but if the truth is supposed to hurt then abrasiveness will scrape away the lies and allow the healing to begin. If you completely read what Ann Coulter has to say, you will find yourself laughing and slapping your forehead and saying “doh!”

But what really floors me is what Meghan says:

McCain admitted she had only been a Republican for less than a year, but even after losing the election, she added, ''I find myself more drawn to GOP ideals and wanting to fight for the party's resurgence. And if figureheads like Ann Coulter are turning me off, then they are definitely turning off other members of my generation as well. She does appeal to the most extreme members of the Republican Party--but they are dying off, becoming less and less relevant..."

I hate to break it to you Meghan but your dad is the one who turned off most Republicans and they only reason he had any showing in the poles was because of Palin.

Your dad represented the Blue Blood Country Clubbers who just wanted to get along and crossed over to the other side i.e. McCain Feingold, McCain Kennedy, McCain Lieberman just to name a few. Your dad is the reason Obama was elected, he is the reason we now have restrictions on our political free speech, which is no longer free I guess but regulated. If you think that he is right and the rest of the population is wrong, then you have a real rude awakening headed your way.

For the most part of the Bush years, which I am convinced that your dear old dad still resents, the Republicans showed themselves to be more demoncrat than conservative. Ann Coulter is a representation of the frustration that MILLIONS of us, who vote and still have a voice for now (McCain Feingold) were thinking especially after the Republicans “got a whoopin” (Bush’s words not mine) in 2006.

Meghan your admitted inexperience is showing an you would be advised to pick your battles carefully and leave Ann out of it. I have seen Ann Coulter and she would make Meghan look like a fool, she understands people who are like John McCain and knows how to dispatch them with excruciating truth and wit. Ann Coulter is not to be taken lightly, she can be a heart attack if you let her. My Advise is to read her books and learn more about her before you go and attack her. I have a feeling that Meghan is just going on hearsay and that is going to make her look foolish when you have to face Ann Coulter. If Ann is really your enemy, then get to know your enemy well.

Personally I would like to see Meghan get her clock cleaned but Ann is showing that discretion is a better part of valor. You should take Ann’s refusal to deal with you as a warning but having said that, go ahead and push her, I would love to see something funny happen to you; maybe not funny to you but laugh out loud funny to the rest of us who did not vote for McCain but Palin instead.

Like I said a rude awakening.

Even Communist Do Not Use Unions!

2009-03-04T16:39:00.001-06:00

On the Glenn Beck show March 4, 2009, we learned that not even the Communist Party USA uses union members. Sam Webb the national chairman was being questioned by Glenn Beck when Sam had given the web site for the Communist Party USA, and the web site was crashed by viewers of Glenn Beck. When Glenn received this news Sam Webb said that he would talk to his IT people. Glenn then asked if they were union guys who ran his site and Sam said no. Glenn with a look of shock, because he was asking in a half joking manner about union workers operating the web site, Glenn asked why not. Sam Webb then replied we are not a union shop. Glenn also pointed out that the CPUSA ended in .org, which makes this a tax free entity or a political movement.

Two things that I can not figure out is this, communist should be the first to use unions and second they should be more than happy to pay taxes to fund a bigger government.

Sam also said that he would take responsibility for Joe Stalin and that Glenn Beck would take responsibility for Hitler, who by the way was the head of the National Socialist Democratic Party or the NSDP.

Glenn also pointed out that Communist namely Joe Stalin had killed millions of people during his reign of terror, Sam said that he doubts that actually happened, I suppose he also denies that holocaust.

Sam Webb did say that B.O. was an advocate of the people and does not think that B.O. is a communist. Sam also could not show one communist country that works.

Sam Webb is what is wrong with the world, he would just take stuff from you, like he did take a glass of water from Glenn on his show. This just proves that people like him has no respect for you or what you have, to them all belongs to whomever can take it.

Bottom line whenever someone tells you that they want to give you stuff, look out, it may be your stuff that they are giving away.

Oh yeah by the way try to get a picture of this man of the people and it will cost you money to get it. So this blog will remain bland.

Connection between Mugabe and Obama?

2009-02-19T14:52:00.004-06:00

Once again B.O. has to go to Canada and once again he has to reassure them that the “buy American” provision in the “Porkulus Maximus” bill, was just to satisfy the bitter clingers (my words not his.)

"This is a huge risk to the world right now. If there is one thing that could turn a recession into a depression, it is protectionist measures across the world," Canada's PM Harper told CNN in an interview. He said he was encouraged by Obama's signals on the issue but cautioned that Canada had options of recourse under international trade law if necessary.

Once again I must say buy American, wink, wink. I mean the Canadians have “recourse” right?

If this massive bill was going to be such a debacle, then why oh why did B.O. insist on it being signed sight unseen. And if this was to go towards creating jobs for Americans, then why oh why is he telling others not to worry things will stay the same.

This is a man who has absolutely no experience in this realm of politics, he should have stayed in the senate where he could have continued his agitating.

Can you imagine if Bush would have done something like this, they would be calling for his impeachment and eventual lynching.

We will not get the truth from B.O. nor will we get a straight answer from his administration. So much for transparency and accountability that he promised. Where are all of the critics of the Bush administration about a secretive government, oh yeah, I forgot they elected B.O.

This man will touch off another tariff war, all because he can not keep things straight in his own mind……or is he doing this on purpose. You have to ask yourself would he destroy the American economy just to create an emergency (because you cannot waste a crisis remember) and then take complete control of the US with his minions and myrmidons? Maybe he really is not foolish after all. Maybe he sees himself as a type of Robert Mugabe or some other African dictator in waiting.

Speaking of Mugabe, in 2001 the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act or ZDERA; allowed that government to print “Trillions” of dollars and that led to serious hyperinflation. Like B.O. Mugabe harassed his political opponents like the Movement for Democratic Change, now think of Rush, Hannity, Boortz and when he said that “Republicans should not listen to Rush, that will not get things done” and the calls for a version of the “fairness” docterine.

And now with his Attorney General stating that we are a nation of cowards because we do not play with the black kids on our weekends; what are they going to do next redistribute our land in addition to our wealth. You know Mugabe gave his support to the SADC’s (South African Development Community) intervention in the Second Congo War which redistributed thousands of white owned farms.

Could this Marxist, redistributionist, collectiveness come to our shores, with B.O. all things are possible.
You know, a lot of folks including me, tried to warn the American people that this man was going to be bad for America. Just think Jimmy Carter part 2 but only worse.

Above: Mugabe and his wife Grace.

Black History Month Turned Racist!

2009-02-18T16:54:00.006-06:00

This is what this guy will be remembered for!

Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues.
In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," Holder said.

Is this the change that we are going to expect from the B.O. administration. No longer can you whites get by with saying that you have a black friend and he is a really nice guy, now you are going to have to prove it!

Soon gone are the days when you can go home and relax with your family with no impunity or judgment. According to Eric Holder, you are a coward if you do not mix with blacks…uh I mean African–American People (that of the chosen one.)

You can go ahead and call me a racist, I do not give a damn. When I am being called a coward because I do not associate with a preferred skin color, so-called minority, that happens to be in fashion at the time, then I will up my standards and you need to UP YOURS!

Boy if this would have been a republican talking this way about black…uh I mean African–Americans, then all kinds of hell would have been raised about the racism in that statement.

Look, who I choose to hang out with IN MY OWN DAMN TIME, IS MY OWN DAMN BUSINESS!

When you have a black…uh I mean African–American minister, Dr. Joseph Lowery delivering the inaugural benediction (aka the Emaculation Invocation) and saying

“when black will not be asked to give back, when brown will stick around, yellow will be mellow and the red man will get ahead man, and white will embrace what is right.”

When white will embrace what is right, is this the type of crap we will be entreated to for the next four years. And I thought the Ku Klux Klan was a racist organization. They don’t even come close to the fomenting, putrid, rancid, foul, fetid and rotten hate in the Black community. I am sorry, I do not mean to lump Black Americans in with African–Americans

You know when kids are told that they have to share and spend time with another classmate that they do not like, it is far worse for that one kid in the end after others are told they have to play with them.

The Black community really needs to stand up and say this is pure B.S. or they will not have any respect whatsoever that they have earned over the past decades. Not only are we told that whites discriminate against the black…uh I mean African–American, but now we have to share and play with them or we whites will be punished sometime in the future.

You know I do not remember our first Black Secretary Of State speaking like this…hmmm.

Is this the great CHANGE that you voted for, I know I did not vote for this, I saw a lot of B.O.’s B.S. coming down the pike. This is just the tip of the “payback” iceberg that is headed our way.

You better dig in and hang on, because they are coming to get you whitey!

Here is the original story in case they decide to deep six it for obvious reasons.

People Vote With Their Wallets

2009-02-09T00:27:00.002-06:00

You know free trade can be a real two edged sword, it can help you get your goods into a market but it can also give aid and comfort to your foreign competition.

For years people have been giving the pros and cons about NAFTA and President B.O. has as of last year and just recently threatened these agreements.

He says at out of one side of his face, do not worry I will protect the status quos. He did this to Canada and more recently with Germany. The things that he said evoked threats of a trade war from the E.U. but this is where he gave the “wink and nod” to the leaders.

You know buying American is a great idea and the Federal government really should support its own especially if we are using tax dollars to buy it.

Now some have suggested that we do not help out foreign business (knowing that these are US based) this is really a nearsighted approach to business.

We are as you know in a world economic market, and we can not just let our companies that are outside the US to just wither and die. If they are based in the US and they go belly up here then they will go belly up over there and then we have a domino effect of job losses and that is interconnected with our economy.

To suggest that we always prop them up is sophist argument at best.

We must deal with the root cause of what drove these businesses to locate outside the US.

I do not wish to sound simplistic but Unions. There I said it now let the cat claws and the fires of hell come to lash out at me.

I have just implicated one of the democrats sacred cows as a reason that we are in the business mess at present. You have to realize that B.O. will not reign in these Unions and the destruction that they wish to do to businesses.

The Unions see the current climate as bad, not to the bottom line of businesses but to their workers which leads to the Unions bottom lines, the union dues and the power that they hold over businesses.

Yes, if you choke off the union dues then you choke off the Unions themselves. This cannot happen and President B.O. owes them a lot for helping him rig…uh I mean campaign for him.

As a side note to the card check law that B.O. wants; it really seems strange that the very law that was to help protect union members from boss retaliation (secret ballots) now they want to know who will be voting for the Unions in order to maybe intimidate or retaliate against non union people. By the way congress does not have to conform to Union laws at capital hill.

Now in other blogs of my friends, they are stating that we should be in the tank 100% no matter what for buying American. But I need to remind them that if you only buy American at a greatly inflated price (this is my hint that we need to hamper the Unions in their ability to extort huge pay from companies) this will only add to the deepening debt problem that we are currently experiencing with the “Porkulus Maximus” bill.

It is so easy for some to say buy American. But will you put your money where your mouth and your families mouth is and forgo a cheaper costing item, just so you can support a Union worker making $14-$25 per hour. You know if it came right down to it the union workers also buy at Wal-Mart, because it is cheaper and you do not soak yourself.

We really need to address the issue of cost here at home before we can tell the world why it is better to buy American. Sure we make some really great things but so does the rest of the world. We just charge way more for it than we should.

You can talk all you want about your patriotism but in the end patriotism will not put food in your house and gas in the tank. Americans will vote with their wallet especially if it helps their families out.

People are not stupid and I am not trying to be calloused about our current state or about NAFTA, but even in great economic times we will choose the less expensive over the opulent.

In addition to getting government spending under control (yes both parties are to be blamed for that) we need to allow an atmosphere where business do not have to be afraid of current environment for doing what they do.

On that note I would like to emphasize to anyone out there who thinks that President B.O. will put controls on Unions, that is not only bologna but pure unadulterated B.S. The Unions own B.O. and they tell him how things are going to be. Like I said earlier, they helped him get elected.

Republicans Big Spenders, I am Shocked!

2009-02-08T23:19:00.003-06:00

Well you knew that it was going to happen, Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, are going to give the democrats the support and filibuster proof the “Porkulus Maximus” bill.

I mean lets face it, you are perceived to be a bit of a liberal Republican and the democrats really, really, and I mean really need you; your weight in gold has just been guaranteed.

Not that these 3 senators are anything real special except they are known for their slightly left leaning. But to their credit they have not went out of their way to proudly author bill that among other things limit free speech…John McCain.

But these things happen when you have been marginalized to a razor thin edge. Hey these three saw an opportunity to spend and took it.

Why all the fuss over them, they are just doing what the majority of other Republicans have done over the past eight years, right?

All the millions in new government entitlements and new government programs and expanded government programs and entitlements, this new stimulus is nothing more than spending in one shot that would have been done over a few more years.

President B.O. said on February 5, at a Democratic retreat.
"So then you get the argument, 'well, this is not a stimulus bill, this is a spending bill.' What do you think a stimulus is?"
"That's the whole point," he said, as the audience hooted and applauded.

You know B.O. should just take the low and slow approach to massive spending like the Republicans did over the past eight years, he would have less resistance.

This whole idea of shoving a basketball through a garden hose is the wrong approach. You make it a few small marbles over a period of time and you will role through that garden hose much more easily. Just for the record, I do not support massive spending that will put us in deeper debt and cause the Federal government to get even more bloated and expand its scope of power.

And You Say Bush Is Stupid!

2009-02-04T13:55:00.002-06:00

In the traditions of lampooning Republicans who say “stoooopit” things, I am unable to let Nancy Pelosi get by with it.

After no real ridicule of President B.O. and his “60” US state gaffe and JoJo the circus chimp’s gaffes, this the latest from our THIRD in line for the Presidency.

If you people, and you know who you are, are any where near “fair and balanced” then you had better start up the Laugh Factory with the funniness coming from the left in politics.

Let us start with a dusty oldie but goody.

Does anyone remember Al Gore:

From an Associated Press report during the Clinton '92 campaign: Gore, a 16-year veteran of Congress, pledged to take on the assignment with "great relish and enthusiasm." He asked voters skeptical of their promise of change to remember that every Communist government in Eastern Europe had fallen in 100 days.
"Now it's our turn here in the United States of America," Gore said.
In his first appearance in a nationally televised candidates forum, Al Gore was asked to name a past US president from whom he drew personal inspiration. the future veep unhesitatingly replied that he especially admired another "dark horse" candidate, and a product of his home state, the great "president James Knox". The only problem is that the history books show that nobody named Knox ever occupied the White House.

On a televised tour of Monticello, the historic home of Thomas Jefferson, Al Gore paused in the entrance and blinked up at four busts over the door, depicting Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and the Marquis de Lafayette. as the CNN cameras rolled the veep-elect inquired "who are these guys?"

At a meeting of the institute of world affairs, Al Gore provided an original translation of America's official motto, praising the city's ethnic diversity as an illustration of the great principle "e pluribus unum" - "out of one,many". Many conventional Latin scholars translate the phrase as "out of many,one"
When sending out a letter to the press apologizing for yet another embarrassing gaffe, the earnest vice president Al Gore promised reporters that this time he had "learned an important lession (sic)" - though apparently not spelling. for those who wondered whether he might ever wise up, the answer came at a press conference where he solemnly declared "we all know that a leopard cannot change his stripes." "

These are only a few quotes from the Nobel winner that I was able to gleem from the internet. These gems were tough to locate, but I found them. Someone does not want them to be found and they have been cleaning up the internet that he created.

Now this gem of a gaffe that no one seems to be reporting on. But I guarantee if this were a Republican, the howler monkeys would be calling to get rid of the idiots immediately.

Nancy Pelosi: 500 Million Will Loose Their Jobs.
February 4, 2009 --
Looks like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will say anything to get support for President Obama's $900 billion stimulus package.
Pelosi publicly stated that "every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs."
Although Pelosi made the absurd claim last month, video of the event where she spoke surfaced over the weekend on YouTube and various right-wing blogs.
The United States has a population of 303 million.
It isn't the only time Pelosi has made the bizarre claim.
In a Jan. 18 interview on "Fox News Sunday," Pelosi repeated that 500 million jobs would be lost unless Obama's stimulus package was passed by Congress.
When host Chris Wallace corrected her and asked if she meant 500,000 jobs.
"What did I say, million?" asked Pelosi, adding that it "feels like 500 million."
"Some 500,000 Americans will lose their jobs each month until we have a recovery package," she said.
"Yes, Madam Speaker, it feels like almost twice the entire population are losing their jobs each month," retorted Wallace.

Think what you will for now, say what you will for now, for tomorrow you may loose your 1st.

Buy American…… No, Just Kidding!

2009-02-03T19:50:00.004-06:00

Wow, when was the last time you heard anyone pushing buy American. Well President B.O. is no different, or is he. In this latest stimulus, bill buy American is part of a theme or a fad according to the B.O. administration.

Is this going to be another case where B.O. says one thing and then runs to that country and gives a wink and a nod, like he did with Canada during the campaign. Where strong protectionism and N.A.F.T.A came about. But Austan Goolsbee a senior economic advisor for the B.O. campaign basically said that this was rhetoric for the consumption of the Midwestern masses (not his words mine) sort of like the bitter clingers rhetoric.
Well this little bit or “rhetoric” has not went unnoticed. In addition to the opposition from the EU and Canada, some senior US Republicans have cautioned that the Buy American measure could start trade wars. Trade wars that would not be very adventitious to the US.

However, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said:
President Obama had assured her the US would not follow protectionist policies.

So apparently the rest of the world will not have to worry about the buy US “rhetoric.” This is where you insert a lot of nods and winks.

This is what you get when you get a community agitator for President. This man know how to pull off a good snow job.
Hope and change, yep we are getting a lot of that now. Others would call this bait and switch and still others would call it snake oil. But when you boil it down, B.O. turns out to be just B.S.

So how, if this protectionism is actually acted on, will it affect U.S. workers. It would isolate us from the rest of the world. Why, because we are in a world market in the 21st century; unlike the 18th and 19th century policies.

It would help out the Union bosses who would get rich off of union dues and would demand new bigger contracts to pump out the iron and others for the “buy American” projects.

The American consumer would take it in the shorts, let me explain.

American company “A” makes product “A” and sells it for $50. Foreign company “B” sells the same product “A” but at $25 per unit. Are you going to go to the streets and proclaim that you are proud to buy a product that costs more, just because it is American made. Or will you buy from company “B” for $25 and use the other $25 to put more food on your table.

Well protectionism is a two way street. If we demand that the government only buys US made goods at an inflated price, then that will only add to our growing, giant, gargantuan, humongous, fat, bloated deficit. And the rest of the world would retaliate by putting huge tariffs on our goods coming into the same countries that we shut out of our government contracted markets.

In addition to that, company “B” will have to charge more for its product than what company “A” charges. So the “American” consumer gets a price increase which means less money to use in other areas, just because we wanted to buy US only.

Not only that but you have just told the free market societies thanks but no thanks to good competition. If you remember the Union was in the practice of protecting its industrialized interests against the cheap labor of the Southern states, and we all remember how that turned out.
When you start to isolate yourself in a global economy you are asking for trouble. And when you say you will be protective and then you give a wink on the side, you come across as being a scallywag (if you know your history, you will know what a scallywag is.)

Here are some parting words of wisdom:
Proverbs 10:9-10
He who walks with integrity walks securely,
But he who perverts his ways will become known.
He who winks with the eye causes trouble,
But a prating fool will fall.

In case you were wondering what prating is:
prate |prāt|
verb [ intrans. ]
talk foolishly or tediously about something.

Rush Limbaugh Is Not The Problem!

2009-02-02T21:37:00.004-06:00

Marc Chamot, is a dear friend of mine and some one that can test your knowledge about current events. But his latest blog has totally missed the “Marc” with his assumptions about the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, and the connection between the Clinton N.A.F.T.A and jobs leaving the US.
To begin with I would like to give kudos to Michael Steele, this is a man who, not because of his skin color, but because of the “R” by his name was defeated in the Maryland 2006 Senate election. You would think the democrats would back a black candidate over a white candidate (yes I still believe the dems did not want a conservative black man in the senate.) I believe that he will bring some backbone to the Republicans, if they choose to listen to him and follow along.

Which brings me to my next point, the Republican party as a whole. They have shown that they will cave and cower to the press and democrats (yes I know that I am spelling Democrats in lower case,) they do not want to be perceived as being racist, homophobic, sexist, or any other politically incorrect label that you can think of.

Even when the party went out of its way to grow the budget and spend like drunken sailors, they would still get negative press as a party. Michael Steele does have his work cut out for him. He will need show the American people that the Republicans (at least in the past) are for the little man and that smaller government is good for all, rich and poor alike. He will have to bypass the Clinton/Obama media and go straight to the people. When I say people, I mean all Americans, with out the B.S. of the stupid labels such as African-American, Latino-American, European-American (I know they are just white but go with me on this one), American-Indian-American, Stupid-American, Thirsty-American, Hungry-American, so on and so forth.
Wow with all of the different groups that we have in America, Steele does have his work cut out, in as far as addressing their various needs and distinct cultures; or is he going to see all Americans as just that, Americans. That is the pit that the Republican party fell into. They have been sucked into this popularism of the left and the democratic party. They wish to please every body, but you can only make some of the people happy some of the time, and all of them none of the time. You got to stick to core values, smaller government and less spending. They chose to ignore that value.

To know about the lack of leadership you only need to look at former President Bush, you can read my earlier blog discussion about him. The fact that Bush was just for big business and not the working class, then explain the tax cuts for the middle class. Which are set to expire in 2010, then you will see the middle class get hit hard and the democrats will do nothing to stop it. He also was not responsible for all the jobs going out of the country, remember Clinton (1993) is the one who signed onto N.A.F.T.A. But President Bush did sign C.A.F.T.A.,in 2005, half way through his presidency and in 2006 the democrats took control of the Senate, so in that respect some of the jobs went south (no pun intended.)

This other obsession that Marc has about Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh being the reason that the Republican party had tanked, well Marc my friend, if the Republican party would have listened to Rush and Sean, then they would not be in the mess they are in now. As a matter of fact, they would never have run a chump like McCain as their nominee. If you really listen to Rush and Sean, then you would know that they do not give out marching orders to their listening masses. Those that listen will also know that Rush and Sean are for smaller government and the working man keeping more of his paycheck rather than giving it to the government. Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, present facts and then they give their point of view about it. The facts are the Republicans stopped listening to any conservative voice years ago when they started to spend, spend, spend.

The Republicans under Bush did this to themselves, as Bush pointed out in 2006, “they got a whoopin” and he did nothing to help them. Like I said, I explain this in my earlier blog.

Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and others have picked up where Ronald Reagan had left off and continued the drumbeat of real liberty through a limited and smaller government, less spending, and less taxes being taken away from the working man (both rich and poor.) Yes I defend the rich, namely because you can not get work from a poor man. I think that Libertarians would even agree with this summation that is to say it is parallel to the Libertarian thinking.
I do agree that the Republican party has went along with the democrats, because they perceived it would gain them power and cause them to be re-elected. In this sense Marc is right that they have drifted away from main street and went to the gated community. They have tried the democratic way and they are finding it to be as bitter as hemlock, and the ones who drank deeply are now gone.

The new Republican chairman does have a lot of pieces to pick up and there will be a lot of helping hands that will offer assistance. Whether he will listen to the “ideologist” of the left or the right (I think we all know that answer,) he will do what he can to put back the undamaged pieces and fill in the holes with new and better people.

The Idea that Rush and Sean are responsible for the Republicans downfall is down right laughable. In reality Rush did all that he could to offer ideas to the Republicans and give them any assistance that he could. Oh by the way he still is not part of the party.

Like I said earlier Marc it has right and wrong on this matter, he still makes very valid points but misses some others. But healthy debate in a free society is what it is all about, only John McCain would disagree with that, yeah I am still angry about that.

If Education Will Determine Our Future, Then Our Future Is Not So Good.

2009-01-25T22:17:00.008-06:00

I will dispense with the old and tired clichés about how our education dollars are so poorly spent. For now I will let this photo speak the volumes that one could write. Later, in another blog or my book, I will show that ignorance will be our undoing.

For your amusement and edification, anyway for those that can see it.

Enjoy!

No, I will not reveal the location of this skool!

President Bush, Nice Guy but a Lousy Political Leader

2009-01-24T21:10:00.003-06:00

My critique on the out going president will be a mixed bag of nuts. First I would like to say thank you for going after those who would bring harm and destruction to our nation. Not a single hit on our soil since then, this is not even up for discussion.

Secondly, thank you for thinking of the families with your tax policies (they also helped the not so rich) it has kept a lot of folks from going broke. I am not looking for discussions about the "tax cuts for the rich" B.S., namely I cannot get a job from a poor person but the rich seem to have things for me to do and they pay nicely.

Now for the things that I think dulled the luster of the President.

Leadership, leadership, leadership, and sticking up for our side. He was very detached from the public and did not want to get down into the trenches with the rest of us. He (President Bush) was very respectful of the office of the President but did not use it to advance the Republican philosophy of smaller and limited government and certainly did not curb spending.

That could be part of the problem that has led us to where we are now, but evidence has also shown that Barney (my boy lollipop) Frank and other democrats fingerprints are all over the housing debacle.

President Bush needed to just go out and meet with his party and with the public, both those who supported him and those that did not. Although he did cozy up a little to the democratic party leaders in Congress and you can see how that worked out for him.

As the old saying goes, "if you tell a lie long enough, people will start to believe it." This is what happened to Bush over the past eight years. He was slandered, bashed, called all manner of names, hated at all times and was "damned if he did and damned if he did not."

The worse thing was when he was lampooned, he did not say anything…anything at all, he did not defend himself to anyone. This is no wonder so many people just do not like this guy. You have to at the very least stand up for your self and not think that you are above the fray.

If you do not stand up and challenge others then that just tells them that it is ok to malign your reputation and will basically diminish your standing in the world.

President Bush's "they got a whooping" during the disastrous 06 elections, just showed how out of touch he was with the party at large. He made the statement like he was just the president and not a member of the Republican party and he did not really care. I guarantee the democrats would never do that. I mean they have a klansman for a representative in the democratic party and they make no big deal of it, yeah Robert (sheets) Byrd (D) V.A. K.K.K. (D)

If they will not eat their own and show loyalty to the death, then why can't we. The Republican party because of the absent leader Bush, has lost a lot of members and support (me included.)

They really need to go back to what works, less intrusive government, smaller government, and get out of the pocketbooks of Americans. The government is not the opiate of the people but rather an addiction hard to kick to the curb.

Well I hope that future leaders will learn what not to do from Bush's example of how not to lead.

I am sorry but for the most part you were a disappointment and the democrats are going to destroy the good things that you did, so you are going to the preverbal whoopin.

I Can Hit You, But You Can Not Hit Me Back!

2009-01-14T22:38:00.005-06:00

I have been watching the whole Gaza the victim and Israel the aggressor thing for the past week and quite frankly I am sick and tired of it. First of all Gaza for the past year (07) has lobbed hundreds of rockets into Israeli towns. During all of this Israel pretty much just sucked it up and moved on. The Israelis listened to international pressures to not respond. But seriously folks, how can you ask a country to allow its citizens to just shut up and deal with this type of attack. You cannot!

Let's say your neighbor started to throw molotov cocktails into your house, starting fires and hurting your children. Your natural response would be in this order,

1. get every one out of the house

2. call the police and report this incident

3. go over and have a very angry exchange with your neighbor.

But lets say that when the police arrive they do nothing to your neighbor and begin to turn on you. Telling you that the piece of land that you are living on used to belong to the neighbors great, great grandfathers.

Of course you would look at them and wonder if drug testing is mandatory for the PD. They also tell you if you want the actions of the neighbors to stop, then you should find a new place to live.

You begin to piece together a picture that you will get no justice and your house is burned to the ground.

Now you do have options;

1. stay where you are and take the neighbors insults and fire bombings, or;

2. deal with the neighbor in a way that will make them think twice before doing it again.

Basically you would be on your own, because lets face it the law is not going to really do their job.

This is the same position that Israel finds itself in. They have been put up to the wall and threatened. They have capitulated to the will of Hamas over and over, but still they are "firebombed." And the police, aka the UN, are not lifting a finger to help but rather they are telling Israel to shut up or move; in this case give up more of their land.

Common sense would dictate that if you are attacked to protect your family, which is what Israel is doing. You can not blame them, they have been patient, hoping that things would change with a newly elected government (who by the way is broadcasting from undisclosed locations; more than likely not in Gaza.)

I am also willing to bet that most of the people in Gaza are being told what to say and who to hate or else, it is like a prison over there.

By the way if all the arab countries are so concerned for the people in Gaza, why do they not let the refugees stay with them; Saudi, Jordan, Lebanon, etc…, its just a thought.

To Secede Or Not To Secede, That Is The Question!

2009-01-06T01:09:00.010-06:00

In this time of discourse with our fellows in Washington we as a people need to hold them accountable for the path that they wish to impose on us as citizens.

We need to look at them in the context of, are the powers in DC representing us or are they representing their own means and ends; and to the devil with the rest of us if we do not go along.

I would surmise that they have taken the latter rather than the former. They promise great things, they want to bring peace and prosperity but only deliver their own interest in the end.

“I will go to Washington and I will ‘Change’ the way things work.” Does this sound familiar I would hope so, we have been entreated to these platitudes far too long and we as the populace grow weary, angry and even apathetic. We grow tired of the “same ole–same ole” among our elected aristocratic class.
Yes, they have become the new bourgeoisie class who say one thing here in their home state and do a completely different thing in DC. And they expect us to be compliant sheep that is lead to the slaughter house of their power procurement, with out so much as a whimper.

Well that type of mentality was soundly defeated in our past with a war of independence and a civil war which by the way did knock some sense into the lawmakers collective heads; but oh how they have forgotten the lessen.

The Democrat party is now and for about the past fifty years, been amassing power to themselves to be set up as the giver of indulgences. Well we the people as was with Dr. Luther and his 95 thesis, have in our power to begin to reeducate the ignorant on Capital Hill.
This is an alternative to another civil war, or at least the antecedence to secession. This alternative that I speak of is Nullification.

This idea of nullification would allow the States to make null and void any laws that the Federal government would try to impose on them. This idea stems from Thomas Jefferson and James Madison with their writings of the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798.

This was written in opposition to the Alien and Sedition act of 1798. The way that the resolutions were written was from the view point that the Constitution of the US was no more than a compact and not the supreme law of the land.
It was an early attempt to constrain the factions at that time, that controlled the federal government. The Federal government was beginning to encroach on the States were the Constitution did not give them clear grounds to do so. The constitution does spell out the Feds responsibilities and the stuff that is not for them is to be relegated to the states to make that decision.

Nullification, was a way that states could control the Federal government from enacting laws that could injure its citizens, which, they are charged with protecting.
Encroachment from a strong central government was seen as an evil and there had to be a way to preserve liberty and preserve the Union. This was the position that John C. Calhoun the vice president to Andrew Jackson; who, by the way was a senator from Tennessee, saw the tariffs and other acts as favoring the north and hurting the south.
Andrew Jackson saw Nullification as treason and threatened to hang Calhoun and other who followed him. Jackson saw this as a path to anarchy and the dissolution of the Union. Those were only fears of the powerful to stay in power. Calhoun had wanted to keep a tight control on the Federal government in order to preserve the Union. If the states are given the right to challenge and even nullify a law; then what is the inducement for succession if you hold a lot of power yourself?

John C. Calhoun

Calhoun was seen almost as a traitor, when in reality he wanted a balance of power between the States and the Federal government.

So, how is this to be applied to today. Well even up into the 1950’s the idea of Nullification was used and even some of the now liberally thinking big government north eastern states, had at one time tried to use Nullification to real in “big government.”

One big issue that has come up and there is certainly a lot of controversy over it, is GHGE or green house gas emissions. The Supreme court has recently upheld the right of the EPA to not only regulate auto emissions but also apparently animal emissions. This would lead them to impose a fee on certain sized animal operations and require permits to be bought. This would be a great windfall tax for the Federal government but would lead to an increase in food (in this case meats) prices and drive a lot of the smaller farmers out of business, because, they would not stay in business long enough to absorb the fees on each of the animals.

This would suggest that the Federal government wants to impede the pursuit of happiness clause of our Declaration of Independence. That the government wants to reach into our foods (not that it is not happening now) and tell us what we can and cannot raise and if we do raise something, we must pay dearly for it.

You know the vegetarians are just salivating over this idea right now, but they are for imposing their beliefs on you any way (that will be another blog article.)
This is one example of how one faction wants to control the rest of us. And leads us to how we could impose Nullification.

If the States could simply say what you are proposing would hurt a lot of people in our state and we do not think it constitutional, then the EPA through the government would have to rethink their whole tax the farting cows for saving the planet scheme. And yes this is something that the EPA is thinking about right now.

So what do you think of our little Union now. It can be controlled and it can be reigned in so as not to be tyrannical toward the citizens. And yes, this Union can survive the democrats and republicans, if we stand up for our selves and not faint in their presence.

California trucks could be next on the endangered list.

2008-12-14T14:54:00.003-06:00

Mary Nichols chair of the California Air Resources Board and others voted unanimously this month make it even tougher for goods and services to be delivered by trucks. This woman looks as though she really has a grasp on the business of transportation.

What they have mandated is that all trucks over 14,000 lbs and bigger than a F350 or a GM 3500, will have to install filters on their trucks to filter out diesel fumes. By the way this will cost approx. $12,000 per vehicle. This not only places undue burdens on C.A. trucks but also any truck that would enter this great socialist state.

This Air Resources Board has effectively cut them selves off from the rest of the country, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The way California has been run (even with a RHINO like the Arnold) we should just remove one star from the flag and make it official.

The fact that California seems to not heed to the peoples will explains why this type of ruling would never have been put to a vote, namely because it would have been soundly defeated.

The reasoning for the genesis of this lousy REGULATION is to supposedly save the lives of 9,400 people between 2011 and 2025. This is from the fumes of trucks at loading docks and other places where trucks and people work together.

What will the air resources board will do if the lives they are going to save die by other means; such as, I dunno, the caffeine in the coffee that dock workers drink or the fast food they eat or diabetes that they will get by eating doughnuts or if they are killed by drunk drivers on their way home from work. More than 3,000 people a year are killed on Americas road ways, not to mention the fog in areas of California that cause millions in damage every year. Is the California Air Resources Board going to require that interstates have fog filters installed.

All of this during a time of economic hardships. And what does the “Govenator” have to say about this economic nut crusher. Yeah that what I thought also…nothing.

This state should be looked at as a warning to the rest of the nation, as to what can happen when you let the loonies run the asylum.

I said, I will spread your wealth around!

The man is not even president and he is already showing that he is just another rich politician that going to keep what he has and to hell with the rest of you. You can do with less but do not dare ask “the man” for anything of his.

Obama has a $30 million surplus left over from his campaign but he is not about to help out his fellow democrats, which is going to leave him with a few angry pigs that were headed toward the trough.

Raymond Buckle the New Hampshire democratic party, says:

"If I was a top adviser to the president elect, I wouldn't necessarily be advocating saving those dollars,"

Well if that does not speak to the underlying spend, spend, spend philosophy of the DNC in general, then I do not know what does

"It was critically important that we not repeat what happened in '93, '94," when President Bill Clinton held the purse strings and Democrats lost 54 U.S. House seats and eight senators during midterm elections.

Raymond seems to be concerned about loosing the mid term elections by using some of B.O.’s money. Like I said, pigs to the trough.

“Obama's organization retains some $30 million after his successful presidential bid, but it's unclear how the Democratic president-in-waiting might use the money. Members of his party are doing their best to appeal for the funds without appearing greedy, ungrateful or hostile to their new leader.”

If I were B.O., I would also be wary of the same people who helped me to win the White House, because when they get their hooks into you they will bleed you dry. The only requirements for them to even approach you is:

1. That you have lots of money
2. That you were put there by them
3. That you have loads of money

But to their dismay B.O. does not really want to “spread his wealth around.” Should this really surprise anyone, you know a democrat with money, wanting to share it with anyone. They really owe the wealthy and Joe the Plumber an apology.

This is the height of hypocrisy and greed and it is coming from the DNC not the greedy look out for yourselves RNC.

Remember Republicans lost and lost big (as they should have) and now the democrats have no one to point fingers at and decry them as an example of greed and corruption.

Let the fun begin!

Cutting the Cheese is going to cost you!

2008-12-05T18:28:00.000-06:00

Apparently farting and belching farm animals is one of the greatest threats to the planet. The EPA is floating legislation that will charge per farm animal per year, to pay for the greenhouse gasses they emit on a daily basis.

To be fair to the EPA, they are not the only wack jobs to want to do this, New Zealand is also wanting to cash in on the global warming hype also. But they wanted to not only tax cattle but sheep also.

The EPA wants ranches with more than 25 dairy cows, 50 beef cattle or 200 hogs to pay an annual fee of about $175 for each dairy cow, $87.50 per head of beef and $20 per each hog. This would cost up to $30,000 to $40,000 a year for a lot of ranches and farms.

Talk about a job killer and not to mention that this would drive up the domestic meat market prices in a time when we are already paying a premium because of energy costs.

This will also allow foreign food producers to flood our markets with their meats, why, because they do not have the same Nazis telling them that they are causing global warming and they need to pay.

Another interesting twist is this, it will put our domestic production at risk during a time when we really need to have jobs here at home and not supporting some other countries workforce.

I guess the old saying if you want to eliminate something then tax it comes into play here.

It really seems to me that our own government is working against us and trying to make things worse. Fanny and Freddie were a big government debacle and the oil price spiking was because they did not want to drill because of the “environment.”

And speaking of the environment here is what P.E.T.A had to say (no not People Eating Tasty Animals, you were thinking it.)

"It makes perfect sense if you are looking for ways to cut down on meat consumption and recoup
environmental losses," said Bruce Friedrich, a spokesman in Washington for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Good grief, just to keep people from eating what they want, they are willing to destroy farm jobs and kill an economy, in the name of the environment. These people are as flakey as pie crust.

There is a problem with this whole idea of taxing farm animals, because you know it will not just stop at farm animals; how about your pets and you know how bad a how much dogs fart (those are some smelly farts, you know, the 13 year old in me is enjoying writing this.)

Next they will be taxing our breathing, why, because we exhale CO2 , a “known” green house gas!

Lets face it we have a fight ahead of us and there is a lot of education that needs to be taught.
Ignorance really is a costly commodity, lets face it, if people really knew better, then the idiots that are running the government (I did not say the country) would not be there and there would not be this tax everything in sight mentality.

Russia Wants Alaska Back!

2008-11-26T08:07:00.005-06:00

First Georgia, now Alaska, the Russian bear is back and is very hungry…for energy!
Earlier this year we saw that Russia had invaded a small country called Georgia (no, not in the US, BO supporters.) This was supposedly to keep peace, but we won’t mention that most of the energy needs of Europe traverses through Georgia…that would be conspiracy and other stuff. Any how, Russia has recently showed its strength in the land of Chavez (Venezuela), and they are conducting “maneuvers” in Venezuela’s economic zone in the eastern Caribbean area. This is to enable sailors to practice reconnaissance, anti drug patrols, anti terrorism and search and rescue (as if the Russians really care about rescuing anyone.) Of course with the way things are Russia will have to put of a proposed pipeline in South America, for now…ahem, until they regain some economic stability and have the cash flow to do so. This pipe line is the brainchild of the brainless Chevez. Until then they will continue to sell arms to Hugo and his thugs.
Is this energy thing starting to sound familiar?
Well let me introduce you to Professor Igor Panarin, Panarin, 60, is a professor at the Diplomatic Academy of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and has authored several books on information warfare. Now that you have a little understanding of who this person is; in an interview with Izvestia published on Monday, November 24, 2008; this is what he wants…this is going to get stupid, but it will all tie together.

"we could claim Alaska - it was only granted on lease, after all."

Yeah, on a lease, so does this mean that we have to return the land. I wonder if he realizes that we have a legal receipt for this land, aka… Seward’s Foley. Do the Russians still hold interest in this land and if so are they going to take it back some day? Well you have to admit with all of Alaska’s natural resources, such as the vast oil fields, this would be a great boost for their emerging energy markets in China, Europe and now South America. I do not think that the state of Alaska would let this happen, but if

B.O.’s attitude toward the invasion of Georgia is a sign of things to come then Alaska, unless it secedes is in for trouble and possible loss. At least in B.O.’s mind there will only be 58 rather than 59 states. As a side note with all of the B.D.S. aka Bush Derangement Syndrome, why has no one really went after BO for thinking there was 60 US states. And they say Bush is an idiot.
BTW, here is our receipt and I do believe that it is past the time to return for a refund (not that we want one.)

Low gas prices for now!

2008-11-24T23:29:00.003-06:00

Well congratulations America, we beat high gas prices and high oil prices by cutting back and conserving. We bit the bullet, bought smaller vehicles and in the process we are reducing greenhouse gasses. We showed the middle east and others that they can not push us Americans around and we will beat them at their own game.
Now that we are seeing below $60 a barrel oil, and under 1.90/ gallon gasoline, we are showing the world that we are not controlled by the OPECERS. We can now go back to the way things were with our building and going places to encourage commerce. In addition to that, prices for goods should come back down, mainly because the cost of getting stuff from point A to B is cheaper. As we saw after Katrina oil went up and gasoline followed the trend. Fuel was more expensive and therefore to ship anything around the country was more expensive. Those days are over, hooray for our side!
Not so fast, we have forgotten something, oh yeah the federal and state pigs. All of the times that they have told us to cut back and conserve, has come back to haunt them. Now they want to increase the tax on a gallon of gas to make up for the money they misspent…uh, I mean did not collect for repairs on roads and bridges. Yup all us good citizens did what government suggested and as you all well know, no good deed goes unpunished. Our infrastructure is “suffering” from a drop in funding, namely through the collection (or decreased collections) of fuel taxes.

“Lawmakers from both parties are eager to find a way to fund politically popular transportation projects. But one possible solution – an increase in the gas tax, which was last raised in 1993 – is considered unrealistic in an election year.”

This from an LA times article reporting about California’s budget shortfall of funds.
http://articles.latimes.com/2008/jul/21/nation/na-highway21
And here is another gem to consider reading
http://greeninc.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/24/states-flirting-with-higher-gas-taxes/
And a quote from a Greg Mankiw, who I know does not speak for even the smallest minority of us that have to drive on a daily basis. He is a professor from Harvard, he knows better than the rest of us.

“For a long time I have felt the price of gasoline in the United States was way too low. Pretty much all economists believe this. Greg Mankiw blogged back in October about the many reasons why we should raise gas taxes.
The reason we need high gas taxes is that there are all sorts of costs associated with my driving that I don’t pay — someone else pays them. This is what economists call a “negative externality.” Because I don’t pay the full costs of my driving, I drive too much. Ideally, the government could correct this problem through a gas tax that aligns my own private incentive to drive with the social costs of driving.”

You can read his blog here:
http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2006/10/pigou-club-manifesto.html
Well good for him, if he wants to pay more for gasoline, but try passing that one on to those who are unable to bear the brunt of 2,3 and even 4 dollar per gallon gas: you know for things like… going to work and earning a living for your family. In short he does not really understand the plight of the “proletariat” (to use the language of the Harvard elite) or those that have to work for a living. If he thinks that he drives too much……then he should, I don’t know……STOP, duh! Boy for someone who claims to be from Harvard, that boy ain’t to bright.
But are we not forgetting the main goal here, to reduce and reuse when possible. I mean that is the energy conscious mindset, right? Let me ask this Harvard man what will happen when the government increases the tax by $1 per gallon and people use other than gasoline to get around in, another new tax will be invented to keep feeding the pig. But what happens when the will of the people crosses the will of the government, the people usually get crossed out. Watch what happens to Prop.8 in California. Well enjoy paying $1.75 per gallon, because if politicians see their “fun” money dry up then they will ask you to do with less. Notice how government never cuts back, but expects you to. An old saying in government, “We have upped our standards, so up yours!”

Hopefully the Republican Party Will Finally Wake Up!

2008-11-05T10:12:00.003-06:00

Now that all has been said and done and we will have B.O. for four years, was there any doubt that McCain did not really want the job as president. I blame McCain, I fully believe that he did this out of spite to the Republicans and to Bush. He was so consumed with hate for the party, after he was rejected for Bush, he began the crossing over to the liberal side of the isle. If he truly was a Reagan Republican then he would have never authored McCain-Fiengold, or other pieces of legislation with his name on it. The only reason McCain received any support is because of Sara Palin. Sara Palin actually showed us what a true, stand on your principals kind of person she was. I still do not believe she bought the line that McCain was a Reagan Republican. McCains lackluster debating and his “playing nice” with the other side, was disgraceful at best. But now that him and others like him are finally defeated, we can continue the Reagan Revolution anew. If John McCain was the best of the best then we really need to rethink the party. But at least he can not do any more damage, unless he is still holding on to his Senate job. Bottom line is this we need to rid ourselves of him and others like him. Nov. 4th 2008 was definitely a referendum on the current state of the Republican party. So let’s bring on the “Change” (who knows what that is) and hold on to your wallets.

Hey Democrats, Ruling is for Measurements only!

2008-10-30T10:49:00.004-05:00

Since no one is really picking this up and running with it, I will.

October 27, 2008,
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Monday that he’s looking forward to one party controlling all aspects of government, despite GOP charges that it would be a disastrous Nov. 4th outcome.
“Republicans ha

d a chance to rule. They failed miserably. I think it’s time to give the other party a chance,”
Dean said on MSNBC.
Republicans recently warned there would be grave consequences for the country if Democrats were in charge of both chambers of Congress and the White House. At a rally in Ohio, for instance, GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) said he would provide a balance to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), who plan to increase taxes.
But Dean dismissed the argument, saying: “You cannot trust Republicans with your money. They will borrow and spend, borrow and spend, borrow and spend.”

Howard Dean has completely missed the whole concept of “We The People” and the ideal that government only exist by the consent of the governed. The statement that the Republicans had a chance to “rule” shows his complete ignorance of how America really works, and why having a ruling party is very, very bad for our liberties. By the way I do not know of republicans who would want to have a second bill of rights or one that would love to stack the court with
anti-constitutional judges who would legislate from the bench. The fact that he even said “I think it is time to give the other party a chance” really shows the pathology that has been endemic with the democrat party for a very long time. The Idea that some one has to rule also shows that the democrats are only interested in power, just for the sake of having power. This is the same party that wants to destroy this economy with “wealth redistribution” and “fairness,” yeah, the Kulacks (Russian peasant middle class) found out about redistribution and fairness in the new Soviet Russia.
The Idea that we need a ruling class is nothing more than a mad power grab, and believe me when I say this, they will stop at nothing to destroy the liberties that our Constitution and Bill of Rights grant us. Howard Dean sees the “little” people as in need of being ruled, this is where basic conservatism and Dean part ways. True Conservatism consist of the individual choice without forced external influence or hype. It consists of being responsible for your own self, so that you can also help others; lets face if you are sick you can not effectively help others heal. Our country has had many who had nothing, find a job or skill, and exploit natural talents, and turn it into opportunity and wealth. You do not find that in other countries, as a matter of fact a lot of places try to stifle creative people and destroy opportunity under the guise of “fairness” and loyalty to the “state.” Dangerous and counterrevolutionary words, I know.
But if you like the democrats having a super majority, then you did enjoy the 70’s and the Carter administration. Remember Howard Dean is the guy who did not want to play "hide the Salami."
This November vote what will be right for America and not for social expediency, and carry these same thoughts into local and state elections as well; it is the only way to root out the cancer that has manifested itself in our body of politics.

Read between the fingers America!

Book Store Bias against McCain?

2008-10-21T20:59:00.006-05:00

Recently I went to a new Books-A-Million (exact whereabouts not really necessary just the content of what I found) and I was just amazed at all of the books that they have for sale. So many that I felt very overwhelmed. This place would make a public library look like a small collection at a garage sale, yes it was big. They had the usual books about the candidates, I want to be fair about that, but what disturbed me was what was in the "Kids Education" section. I did search for both candidates and I only found Barack Obama and no John McCain. I also noticed a lot of Black American books also. On the surface this may not seem like a big deal or they just want to capitalize on this historic election. Then why do they not offer books on McCain or for that matter Sara Palin, she could be the first female Vice President (that too is historic, yes.) But I feel that the wave of Obama-mania may be blinding some from giving a fair and balanced diet of information. An even more recent unfair representation of information has come from The New York Times. They did a hit piece on Cindy McCain describing her as frail, weak, and a princess Dianna Wanna-bee. Apparently they were not too concerned about her feelings, but I suppose they did just as harsh a story about Michelle Obama…,oh wait…, they did not. Anyhow this is how I am seeing this race sum up; vote for the black guy or you are a racist; vote for the white guy and you are racist, and yes, we will shove the black guy down your throat. I wonder if this is what Martin Luther King was thinking when he said you should judge a man by his character and not by skin color (in case you are wondering, I am very disappointed that Condi declined to run, she would have been great.) Well you decide for yourselves, does the media seem to rally around B.O. and hate McCain or not?

Obama's hand in destruction of our economy!

Address for the defense of Freddie and Fannie
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs

The truth about who was for and against it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzEIMco49AE

Maybe we deserve Barack Obama, maybe we derserve a good dose of what the left has in store for us. We have forgotten the lessons of Cuba, Soviet Russia, Communist China, and the UK. We really need to loose our Constitutional guarantees to see that big government is the antithesis to living free. And by free I mean not having some bureaucrat allowing or disallowing you to do something. Do you really want to give control of you life to another person, who, quite frankly, does not care if you exist or not. Freedom, true freedom, is the ability to make a choice that YOU want to make, without having to get permission to make that choice. The promise that government can make you healthy or give you a job or a house or what ever, is at best, just smoke and mirrors. They say that Capitalism is the root cause of all our problems, then why did the stock markets tank when the Bailout bill passed. Just today (10-6-08) news that the markets nosed by 550 points. I thought that the big government types were supposed to help our markets not squelch it. Oh, by the way, London and other markets are being effected also. And I still see that the ONE person who was intimately connected with the housing debacle is still running on a promise to fix the “failed Bush economic policy” (Bush warned about this in 2001, 2003.) The guy that is running against the “I created this mess, now I will fix it” B.O.(Barack Hussein Obama,) had tried to introduce legislation in 2006 but the vote was down party lines and Senator McCain’s legislation that could have deterred this current crisis was not allowed out of the Senate Banking Committee for a vote on the floor. You can guess what party was in control at that time. It really is interesting that we need to bail out Fannie & Freddie but not Enron or Worldcom. Both an energy giant and communications giant are allowed to fail and our economy is still great and we put a few folks in prison. Oh yeah that’s right, you can link President Bush to Enron, that is why you have to destroy them. But the dems have their fingerprints all over Freddie and Fannie (aka Fannie Mac) starting with A.C.O.R.N., who by the way B.O. was on their payroll and then the venerable “my boy lollipop” Barney Frank was on the defensive end of Fannie Mac and went after the Republicans that tried to “lynch” Franklin Rae (lacy Clay (D) M.O. stated this.) Fannie Mac should be treated no different than what Enron and Worldcom were treated. Our economy was starting to rebound but then the bailout happened. This is what we have had coming our way but because of the sycophants in the media you will hear nothing but great things about this whole deal, but if this would have been a Republican mess, you would not have heard the end of at least until the next president is elected and even then you could hear the echo. So are you still convinced that more and more government is better for you and your future. The more these guys try to help the worse it gets. The Constitution put limits on what power the government can have but if you cede this power to them they will take it and not give it back. This is how tyranny begins, a vacuum of power is created and then the ones with the loudest and populist voice steps in, takes the reigns and begins to legislate (notice I did not say lead) in this vacuum, and then little by little they “suck up” more responsibility until they are so integrated with every day life that you are unable to do anything with out the permission of “Big Brother.” That is the road that the radicals in the democrat party have put us on. They believe in the power to tax is the power to control and the power to control is the ultimate high. This control can also be achieved by chaos, which is to say they (the ones who want control) create a catastrophe, do some CYA and then propose a solution to the problem. I mean they would know the solution because in the formulation of the problem you need to have a good solution to present, so you do not self-destruct in the process. Create a problem and then fix it, classic if you ask me, and many a tyrant has successfully done it, just ask Hugo. More later.

Barack Created this financial mess, and we have to clean it up!

2008-10-05T22:36:00.002-05:00

Now that we have this huge bailout bill of what is supposed to have led us to another “great depression,” we are now finding out why Enron and Worldcom were given the shaft. I find it interesting that the executives at Enron were treated with disdain and even prosecuted, whereas those who were running Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (who will be known combined as Fannie Mac) have been, rewarded and defended, even to the point of saying that it was racist to even question his (Franklin Raines) running of Fannie Mac. Franklin had even be a budget director in the Clinton Whitehouse, what a shock. Now back to my original thought about the unfair treatment of Enron and the executives. Enron had a lot of ties to Republicans and thus it was politically expedient to crucify anyone who had business ties with Republicans namely President Bush. The reason that I find this interesting is that the entire democratic party has done what they could to help Fannie Mac out and shield themselves from any fall out. Oh by the way if you try to connect Obama and others who have had their hand in the Fannie Mac cookie jar, duck and cover, you are nothing more than a smear merchant just trying to sell a book. Fact Obama worked for ACORN (they really are nuts) and trained a lot of people in how to bully the banks to loan to people who were not ready for that. Fact Barney Frank, (D), vehemently defended these lending institutions, when the President and other Republicans called for more controls on them. What I want to know is this, where is the call for the prosecutions and jailing of those who were in charge. Oh that is right, there are barely any Republican finger prints on this one (John McCain even tried to reign in these institutions but the vote was never brought up because of democrats who were in charge of the Senate.) So there will be no charges filled but we must bail them out or risk ruining the country. These JERKS are the ones who created this mess (ACORN, Franklin Raines, The democrats in Congress,) now they want to ride in on their white and black horses and save the day. Meanwhile they threaten anyone who will point out to them that they are the ones who caused this problem. If you do not believe me about the genesis of this mess, just google youtube and go to McCaines web site. Also Newsmax has the links to show the democrats that are defending and stating that there is no problem and the Republicans are just being partisan. Even Bush wanted to reign in Fannie Mac, but no, we democrats need that cookie jar untouched. Now that their hand has been caught in it WE need to BAIL them out. That is BS. This is what we have in store for us, if the very ones who create a crisis is elected (Barack Obama aka B.O.) Bottom line, he just stinks!

The truth may cost you!

2008-09-26T09:02:00.002-05:00

The truth can never be hid but lies will always, at the least obscure the truth. This is a lesson that the owner of Eli’s Manhattan, an upper east side supermarket found out. He should really take a lesson from government. Never let the people see what you are doing, and no one will be the wiser. But Eli Zabar the owner of Eli’s, thought that bringing attention to the increasing price of doing business would upset enough people that they would act, and they are, by going somewhere else to buy their food. What the other food markets will do, is just increase the price of products that you purchase and leave it at that. Fat, Dumb, and Happy, that is what we are. As a people, we do not like having the “devil in the details” pointed out to us, that only means we have to actually think. Thinking is something that you have to actually engage in, you know turning a noun into a verb. This is especially problematic for us “Fat” ones. We have gone so long with others, just being spoon fed the “truth,” that even lies no longer taste bitter, unless, it is pointed out to us. We really need to go back to the old way of thinking and having a critical eye towards a subject. But in our society today we lack the need or the urgency to do so. We have been so brow beaten to just “go with the flow” and do not “rock the boat” that we enjoy the fact that we do not need to think. How many times have we been told “why do you have to be different,” “why can’t you be like so and so.” If we choose the path of least resistance there is a good chance we will actually do ok. But this path of least resistance is a two way street. The opposition would love to have a least resistive path to influence us and drive us the way that they want. You know, “Fat, Dumb, and Happy.” At least Eli Zabar is trying to teach others about how a rise in fuel costs WILL affect your buying, but he is a small fish in a large ocean of ignorance and blissful thinking. I wish him the best, but knowing people he will come out looking bad.
Below is the story that started this whole thing.

Upscale NYC Market Charges 'Energy Surcharge'
Owner Of 'Eli's Manhattan': 1.8 Percent Fee Put In Place To Educate Customers To Struggles Of Food Industry
Shoppers Tell CBS 2 HD Move Is Just Another Slap In The Face
By CAROLYN COSTELLO, CBS 2 HD News
NEW YORK (CBS) ― The cost of everything seems to be going up lately, making tough times even tougher. Now a supermarket on the Upper East Side is passing an energy surcharge onto customers.
And as CBS 2 HD quickly found out, many shoppers are outraged.
At "Eli's Manhattan" customers are warned with big signs at the checkout counter.
A 1.8 percent surcharge -- for rising energy and fuel costs -- will be added to their grocery bill.
Shoppers at the upscale supermarket are used to paying more for groceries, but they aren't happy about the added charge.
"I'm really angry about that," one person said. "I won't come back."
"They're a giant rip-off," added another.
"I think it's outrageous," came another reaction. "The prices here are already high, so it doesn't seem fair."
It's a bad business move according to workplace guru Stephen Viscusi, author of "Bulletproof Your Job."
"It's really not necessary to be charging people extra right now and to be pointing it out to customers," Viscusi said. "At some point consumers feel plain ripped off."
But the owner said he wanted to cause controversy with the 1.8 percent surcharge. Instead of burying the cost in the price of groceries, he's pointing it out to get customers thinking and talking.

"To call the public's attention to how much fuel is being used in the food business," owner Eli Zabar said. "In this case, I am making the increase completely transparent to the customer."

Zabar thought the surcharge would make people angry about the rising cost of energy. Instead, they're getting angry at him, forcing him to consider scrapping the surcharge altogether.

"If the shock and awe is too great then what we're gonna do is hide it in the cost of goods itself," Zabar said.

However, Zabar said no matter how you do the math the cost of everything is going up.

Tax The Hand That Feeds You!

2008-09-18T22:13:00.004-05:00

Just when you thought the Dems could not really tell you who they were (liberal socialist wanna-bees), the American public is handed a beautiful gift. For many years the Democrat party has steered away from the "we will raise your taxes" mantra for fear of not being elected. I mean in the past they found out what happens to their candidate if they come out for bigger government and more taxes. So what makes this election cycle so different? For one thing the Dems are not listening to the constitutes that they claim to represent. So who are they listening to? I really do not need to point out a lot of peoples names except Barack Husain Obama. From the reading that I have done and the people that he (yes, he is lowercase, because he is not the messiah, sorry to disapoint) has associated with. Namely a lot of people in Chicago who believe in the redistribution of wealth and those who frown on private ownership of property. The fact that he has insulated himself with these anti-capitalist should tell you what kind of administration that he will have. Obama was raised with silver spoon in his mouth, he went to the best schools and has had a great life, that, others would just love to have. So why do they want to take money from the wealthy and give it to the middle class? As Biden has stated earlier, to be a real patriot you must give up more of what you have. I am sure that is what comrad Stalin told his countrymen. The kulacks (well off or middle class of peasants) were told that they must give up their farms and collectvise for the good of the others around them. Those who did not were called unpatriotic and greedy, I really do not need to tell you what happened to those who refused to give their "fair share." Biden said that it is time for them to step up and help America get out of the rut. The fact is Obama thinks that being a socialist is a popular thing, that is what the crowd that he runs with thinks.

Now lets use a little common sense about those that need to step up and start paying. How many wealthy people do you know who are willing to just give all of their gain away. How many rich people do you know, will just allow someone to take it all away from them. You don't or they would be called the poor! Now I want you to really be honest about the answer that you give to this next question. How many of the poor and middle class, work for the poor and middle class? If you answered none then you are being truthful to yourself and you have a basic grasp of economics.

Let us start with taxing the wealthy. What does the wealthy do, when they are not making money? They consume just like the rest of us, only they buy a much bigger version of the stuff that we use. We by a fishing boat, they buy a yacht, we buy steak and potatoes, they buy fillet mingon, we buy a chevy, they buy a mercedes, you get the picture. All of this may strike you as a we have nicer stuff and you don't moment, but stop and think how they acquire the finer things in life. They have to buy these things just like you and me but with one exception, they do not have to create the finer things, they buy it. Now you need to ask yourself who makes these finer things for them to buy, we do! Yes the so called "rich" who need to be "patriotic" are paying you and me for these goods and services that some politician seems to think just grows on a magic finer things in life tree. Now back to the first question who hires us the wealthy or poor. Apparently it is the wealthy and not the homeless bunch down in a van by the river (thanks Chris Farley.) Thanks goes to those who can afford the better stuff, because we make it and need them to buy it, so we can justify our showing up at work to make the stuff. There is a whole lot of emphasis on the stuff we make so that the "rich" can buy it. If the wealthy just stoped buying the stuff we make then we cannot justify our pay and we will be out of a job. Now how does taxing the crap out of the rich benefit us when it hurts us. I saw some but clown of a senator (D) who seems to think that our economy is a pie that does not expand or contract, that this is a zero sum game. You know where if I get a buck more than before, then some one else had to loose that buck. Well if you look at our economy that way then you are looking at it from a socializing stand point. Socialist want you to believe that because some one gets rich you get poor, it just doesn't work that way. You too can get rich because the wealthy are sharing their money with us by buying our stuff. This includes factory made goods right down to the organically grown tomatoes at the local farmers market.

Now let us talk about making the rich pay. Let's say we hit them with a 40 or even 45% tax on every dollar that the rich take away from some poor struggling family. Now the wealthy have way less money to buy a yacht or parts for it, you, as boat builder are seeing less and less rich cliental come to see your boats, that you have painfully and skillfully crafted. You also notice that parts are starting to pile up in your warehouse, this is not good you think to yourself. Now the year goes on and fewer and fewer people visit your boat shop and you do not carry the inexpensive dinghies for the poor (not enough money in building them.) You are faced with a delima, keep your doors open or go into bankruptcy and become impoverished. Another thought comes into mind, let some of your labor, the poor people who help you build the boats for the "rich", go in order to cut your operating expenses and keep the doors open and hopefully ride out this "economic downturn."

Now the layoffs start and guess what, you, the working poor are now out of a job, and all because you bought into the lie of socking it to the rich will help you. All you have really done is elected a jackass (D) of a politician into office who says he will sock it to the rich wile taking money under the table from a rich lobyist. And you are still left with out a job, because you let some one convince you that it would be better.

Bottom lines seems to be damn the torpedoes truth and full speed ahead. What you do not see are the ICE BERGS OF REALITY!

Yes, this trickle down is a reality and not voodoo, in other words when the masters are finished with their meals they do give the scraps to the dogs, if not then the dogs would let the foxes raid the hen house.

Enough said for now, I will let you chew on it for a while.

Sara Palin-mother and politician

2008-09-03T22:44:00.004-05:00

After all the hoopla about Sara Palin having a 4 month old downs syndrome baby and her daughter about to be a new mom; we are hearing from the left that she really needs to stop and rethink this whole VP thing. For one her newborn is a special needs child and will require a lot of attention; two her daughter will need her when she gives birth to her first child and three this will place a lot of stress on her family. They are trying to get the message of " we do not want your family to be hurt, we are giving you this advise for your own good." I know most of you are smart enough look right through this BS and see the truth of what they are saying. The fact is that for many decades feminism has fought hard for the inclusion of women in every facet of our society. They want that "glass ceiling" busted up and the mens only club to be the mens and womens only club. Look at Nancy Pellosi, the first female speaker of the house, she has a lot of children and grandchildren, Hillary Clinton, she has a kiddo also, but that did not stop these women from following their dreams. What makes Sara Palin (R) Alaska so different…oh, wait she is a republican. Just like blacks are just as qualified to what ever they want except if they are a republican wanting to be a Supreme Court Justice. This is from the same party that claims that they were responsible for the 1964 civil rights act (Al Gore's father voted no BTW) and claim to uphold the working woman's right to achieve whatever she wants…unless it is to be a republican. Are you starting to see a pattern here? The things that are being said about Sara Palin would never have been said about Pellosi or Clinton. Also I noticed that not one word about Sara's husband watching the children and helping with the special needs of their newborn. Like all responsible fathers, he will be there, come hell or high water! As for their daughter her soon to be husband will be there to take a responsible role and help her as they build a family. He really does not need the Mother-in-law to be there at every step (I know that is a recipe for failure.) But whatever they decide to throw at her will only go to strengthen her resolve and continue to just cement her positions that much more. Tonight she gave us a glimpse of what we are to expect from her as the next VP and I do not believe that she will quietly sit on the sidelines and allow John McCain to do all the heavy lifting. Well boys, girl power is about to come of age…Palin Power!

Experienced?

The only reason that I put this up here is because of the things that this man is pushing. He encourages people to just give to the "community" and not to chase after wealth. He was raised to believe that "white folks greed runs a world in need" and other class envy type of Bolshevism. I am to assume, that me and others would be considered the better off peasants or the kulaks. And to effectively integrate all of society, I will need to be done away with. Yes if you follow him you will be losing your identity and ultimately your individualism, and will be serving for the advancement of his ego.

Just because the Soviets went the way of the Dodo, does not mean that statism is dead.

Long live the proletariat.

If You Can't Beat-em…Join-em

This should not really come as a shocker to anyone who should read this, but border patrol agents that are on the take. Yes, US border patrol agents are receiving bribes to help smuggle people and drugs through the border. According to Reuters, Drug smugglers are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to border patrol agents to help them. This is way more than what a border patrol agent makes in a year. Lets face it, after the two border patrol agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, were sent to do hard time in prison (lets face it those two are still lucky to be alive), what kind of message do they think was sent to the rest of the agents. If you do your job and stop illegal immigrants, then there is good chance you will have the rest of your life ruined! But stop and wait a minute, you can "pretend" to be a border agent, look the other way, stay out of jail, and make millions in the process. Thanks to President Bush a dangerous precedence has been established. To be honest, fifteen thousand dollars is WAY BETTER THAN FIFTEEN YEARS! I am not saying that I would do it…but …you know…times being what they are…and if doing my job could land me in prison… you do the math! Until our government stops pandering to every special interest in this country, you will see an increase in corruption. Just a decade ago the FBI Border Corruption Task Force, only had a few dozen cases a year, now they are busier than ever. You know They say character does not matter in a leader (they claimed that with former impeached but not removed president Clinton) but if President Bush would have sided with those who were doing their job rather than trying to please Mexico City; then we would not have as much corruption as we do today. Congress could do with growing a pair also; and with catering to the so called "latino" vote, they are afraid of not getting re-elected. Maybe that is what we need. Unfortunately the wants of a few do out weigh the needs of an entire nation. As an end note, this corruption does not stop at the border patrol, it goes up the chain and even includes an L.A. Attorney for ICE; and transport contractors that return illegals to the border. This all flies in the face of Mexican President Felipe Calderon's campaign against drug lords, who, are fighting him for control of northern Mexico.

Bottom line, there is a lot more to illegal immigration than just picking vegetables for cheaper market prices.

So is it blacks or is "African American?"

2008-07-10T12:59:00.005-05:00

"I was in a conversation with a fellow guest at Fox on Sunday. He Asked about Barack's speeches lately at the black churches. I said it can come off as speaking down to black people." Weds July 9, Reuters reporting on Jesse Jackson talking about Obama.

I am in a quandary, just when I thought this election cycle could not get on my nerves, Jess Jackson opens his bigoted mouth. I just have one question, you know, being a "white boy", I need to know how come he does not refer to blacks as "African Americans." I have had "Afro" this and "Afro" that pounded into my head. I have even been told by an "African American", aka the black man, while wearing a leather African medallion; that I would stand before the black judgment throne and answer for my crimes of being white. The Jesse "high priest" Jackson has recently attacked Barack Hussain Obama for "talking down to black folks" and at " black churches." I will give you time to think about what the Jesse high priest Jackson said. All right times up. Class what is it that came out of the race baiting white hating bigot. Sorry little Johny it was not African American or African American Churches. Go to the back of the class you brain washed idiot. All the rest of you who could separate a race baiting genius from ordinary black Americans or "folks" you get a gold star. On one hand I can understand a race pimp pushing his own, especially towards others who are not of his exalted race; he should do what he does. What I find embroiling is the fact that he would exempt himself from his own edict's and imposed sacraments. This high priest (Rev. in name only) has the audacity to not refer to blacks as African Americans (which is what we "whites" have been "told" to do) but as "black folks." I have been given ugly looks when I use the term black to…describe… a black person. I almost feel that I should say African American just to keep from feeling that I have done something wrong. For this man to even just say "black church" and "black people" is just plain blasphemous, and has violated his own sacred commandments. Now you have to understand why I am upset, you know, being a "white boy" that I have never been referred to as a "European American." But this begs the question, when do you stop being a hyphenated American and become just an American?

Once again I digress, there is no money to be made if there are not different classes of people to exploit. By this I mean if "African Americans" become just Americans, just like white Americans. Jesse would stand to loose all that he has or be forced to get a real job!

Just as a side note, the US is, I believe, the only place that hyphenates so many people, one people my behind!

As always I will be just a white boy (with Cherokee ancestry) and never anything special. Oh wait… I am very special… I AM AN AMERICAN!

Note: The person who wrote this story for Reuters, went out of their way to be P.C.

Cartoon Network Leads McCain, Obama by 34 points

2008-06-26T23:05:00.004-05:00

As I observe this election cycle with Barack Hussein Obama II (if that hacks off McCain then that is my right to say it [for now]) with his hope and near messianic picture that many are trying to paint him with. And McCain telling us to play nice and just shut up about the Obama candidacy, really makes one wonder if he really is in it to win it. Well despite the myrmidons (aka cool-aid drinkers) and how this has become very trite and bromidic, I am slowly catching up on my Tom & Jerry and Chowder episodes. Yeah, those guys are offering a version of the sweet release that only death in its cold callousness could offer. Allowing myself to be browbeat for being white on one side and being a conservative on the other (and yes apparently I am also a neocon [that would be an anti socialist]) and being an embarrassment to the very party that claims to have a big tent for all. I liked it when the good guys had the white hats and the bad guys wore black hats. This is not the case for this election. Both candidates have the same vision for America, the theory of global warming, taxes and the belief that a democrat should be the next president. Chowder an aspiring cook who is working for Mungs, has his misguided adventures in a chaotic kitchen that does not lack in originality or imagination. This cat creature is in a world that is so topsy–tervey that real life just fades away and your mind is lulled into a new reality (I too, reject reality and substitute with a version of my own) where there is an endless possibility to cooking. Tom and Jerry is just a good old reality check, mindless, mallet pounding, dog chases cat, cat chases mouse and the mouse gets the cheese in the end. In other words you know what to expect and you are not offended by the outcome, although they have scrubbed some of the language and scenes from Tom & Jerry (they could not leave well enough alone [if it ain’t broke fix it] mentality.) I just once would like to see people get what they want…, now that will be a wake up call and a hang over at the same time. Living vicariously through my idols, I have secured a piece of sanity for my beleaguered conscious and my neoconic tendencies. I hope all turns out ok, but, as the old adage goes, it is not over until the fat lady sings, as will be the case in November 08.

John McCain wants his freedom of speech protected!

2008-05-27T16:31:00.003-05:00

This week during a speech in Colorado John McCain (R-INO) was heckled by anti war protesters. Now this is in ht evain of the freedom of speech and in the tradition of those who have given their voice in opposition. This is not what really caught my attention, what he said in response to the heckling was just laughable. Read what he said and then contrast and compare to his McCain Feingold bill.

SEN. McCain: "You know, it's not too important, but I have town hall meetings all the time -- I'll be having one tomorrow -- where people are allowed to come and state their views and we exchange them. And the one thing we don't do is interfere with others people's right to free speech. (Applause.) But that doesn't seem to be the case with these -- with these people."

Below is the link to the entire transcript and video if you care to see for yourself.

http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/politics/blog/2008/05/mccain_to_heckler_

ill_never_su.html

And the one thing we don't do is interfere with other peoples right to free speech.

Now that you have had time to digest this and laugh yourself silly or become very angry, ask you self one question. Does this clown really care about freedom of speech or does he want to squelch opposition. He really does not understand that the 1st Amendment applies to all and not to just those that agree with him. You know for someone who takes on the label of Reagan Conservative, really did not understand what Reagan really did. Reagan went to the people direclty and allowed discussions on ideas, ideas about less government, not more. We do not need a government that is going to tell us what we can and cannot say. Unfortunately that is what we are headed for with John McCain as Big Brother. Oh by the way in case you think that I support the Demoncrats, keep in mind that they want the fairness act, aka the "Hush Rush" bill, passed to shut up opposition toward them. Do we not have the right to assemble and peaceably redress our grievences toward government? I cannot believe that I am saying this, but I support the antiwar activist to do just that. Now incase you are where these documents can be found (The Constitution & the Declaration of Independence) you can find them at Wikipedia

and Heritage.org

Heritage will even send you a free copy in a neat little booklet format, very handy to carry around to read. Why we even have some one like this even running for th eGOP is way beyond me and can we even trust him once his in office to do what is right. Lets recap shall we. McCain Fiengold, McCain Kennedy, & McCain Lieberman, he also stated that he will reach across party lines to do what is necessary.

May 15, 2008 Los Angeles. Sen. McCain said thursday that if elected, his presendency would see Al-Qaida defeated in Iraq and on the run in Afghanistan, an adminstration with Democrats and Republicans serving side-by-side and regular meetings with the press.

If you want to send a message to the GOP, then do not vote for McCain this year but vote for the local and state candidates that you know will not be disloyal to the CONTITUTION!

I am going to make this very easy for those of you who think that this “we have to stop global warming” is more for the future of the earth, rather than a way to just raise revenue. Just read this story below and you will see how bad off that the nut jobs in near broke California really are.

Pollution board considers global warming fees
By Denis Cuff/MediaNews Group
Article Launched: 05/19/2008 06:54:33 AM PDT
Environmentalists and regulators say the Bay Area's air pollution district is taking an important first step toward saving the Earth by proposing to charge businesses for global warming gases they emit.
Oil refineries say the agency is threatening to set a bad precedent that could lead to a patchwork of local fees and rules that could disrupt state efforts against global climate change. Those conflicting views move to center stage Wednesday when the Bay Area's air pollution board considers what is thought to be the nation's first pollution fee aimed expressly at global-warming gases from oil refineries, power plants, factories, gas stations, bakeries and other businesses.
The annual fee - up to $190,000 for a large oil refinery such as Valero in Benicia, $85 for a large bakery, and $1 for a service station - would pay for district efforts to estimate and study sources of global warming gases, and consider ways to reduce them. The biggest fees would be imposed on the biggest emitters of carbon dioxide, a global warming gas from fossil fuel combustion.
"I think the best place to institute strong policy is at the federal level, but we do not have leadership from the Bush administration on global warming," said John Gioia, a member of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District board.
An industry trade group representing five oil refineries in the region contends that the local intervention could confuse and disrupt the California Air Resources Board's efforts to Advertisement Avery Greene Motors carry out an historic 2006 state law to reduce global warming gases by 25 percent by 2020. "We're committed to working with the state on a thoughtful program to address climate change," said Tupper Hall, spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association. "What's troubling is if (the Bay Area proposal) leads to a patchwork of local programs with their own fees and goals. It's very hard for the state to meet its goals, and this could make it more difficult." The petroleum association questions whether the Bay Area pollution board - 22 county supervisors and members of city councils - has clear authority to raise the fees. Hall also said the group worries that any new fee imposed on gasoline refineries could lead to higher prices for gasoline, already near $4 a gallon. The five refineries in the trade association include Chevron in Richmond, Shell in Martinez, Tesoro between Martinez and north Concord, Conoco-Phillips in Rodeo, and Valero in Benicia. Jack Broadbent, the air district's chief executive officer, said oil refiners would pay the largest share of the proposed fees because they are the largest carbon dioxide emitters. The district would collect $1.1 million in greenhouse gas fees annually from 2,500 Bay Area businesses that already have district permits and pay fees for emissions of other pollutants, such as smog-forming reactive gases. Nearly two-thirds of the businesses would pay less than $1 per year, according to a district report. About 850 would pay $1 or more. Five oil refineries and the two power plants in Antioch and Pittsburg each would pay in excess of $50,000 because of their large carbon dioxide emissions from burning fuel.
"The fees are very modest," Broadbent said. "Tackling climate change is a big challenge. We need the combined efforts of federal, state and local agencies."

Now you will have to ask yourselves the question “what is this going to cost me”, and by that I mean you the consumer. I can guarantee you that these businesses are not going to dig deep into their pockets and pay these fees, you know our of the kindness of their heart. These fees that will be assessed to them will be passed onto you in the form of increased prices, for example, increase gasoline prices, increased utility bills to cover the cost of electricity to your home. We are so stupid if we think that we will never see an increase in the cost of business if this goes into effect. Did you not also see the part that stated that the money collected will go to research that “would pay for district efforts to estimate and study sources of global warming gases, and consider ways to reduce them.” This is code for there are some people who need some money to waste so that they can make themselves important. The only “gases” that we should worry about, are those coming from the politicians and others that are proposing this waste of other peoples money.
I am still waiting for the day when they will start charging everybody for the CO2 that we exhale as a NATURAL process of life. You know someone has thought about it and actually considered it!

Barack Obama and his Manifest Destiny

2008-05-14T12:54:00.003-05:00

So class, who can tell me how many states are in the US. Yes little Danny how many states are there? Little Danny replies “50”, still cannot spell potato but at least he knew how many states he was the VP over. But people still rib him on this one since June 15th 1992. Now we have a Harvard (say Harvard with a snooty better than you voice) educated Illinois senator, who, by the way, is not running for the VP position, but he wants to be the President “of these 60 United States!” Maybe when he wanted to bomb our allies in the Middle east, he wanted to bring them into the Union? Maybe this will be his Manifest Destiny.
I do not want bring up how the media has creamed Dan Quayle with what he said, but they have and have you heard any one (besides the conservative talk shows) get out and make fun of this guy. No, you have not and you will not either, why, because he is the black guy (for the politically correct, that is african American.) Well if this messiah is one of the best that the Democrats have to offer, then this will be a great election year! Oh, by the way if you are from Alaska or Hawaii then you will not be graced by his holiness, because his campaigners do not count you worthy enough to view him.
May 9th 2008 Beaverton, Oregon
"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

By the way, Alaska and Hawaii would constitute “two” states left to visit.

Tax Tips That Work!

2008-04-15T11:17:00.004-05:00

Its April 15, 2008 in other words the real April Fools Day! I hope that you have all of your pertinent forms and other IRS regulated stuff filled out ready to send in, of course with that tax check that you owe the IRS. To those of you who think that you are getting a refund, your not! What has really happened is the government took too much from you to begin with. Now think about that, they took too much, this left you with a lot less for you and your family. Imagine what would happen if you were to keep all of your check or at the very least, for now, 95% or better of your check. What would that do for your and this Nations economy? For one you would be able to afford Health Care, much needed food, clothing, or a washer and dryer, or you could even afford to buy or rent a better place to live. Just imagine the power that you would have over your own lives if the government were to say “hey keep more of what you make”, this my friends is the true meaning of freedom… or self determination! I believe that there has to be a way to provide for our general welfare and defense, I just disagree with sucking the life blood out of those who work and those who provide jobs. What happens when you are not sending most of YOUR EARNINGS to the government, you spend it on things that you need and on some things that you want. What does this spending do… it generates sales taxes and other taxes that are attached to the sale of an item. This way you elect how YOU want to be taxed and not the government telling you how to be taxed. To all of you who hate the rich, and you know who you are, because you too would love to be rich. This would affect all the people in our country including the RICH! Yes the rich would get richer but so would the poor minimum wage worker, who by the way is allowed, yes I said allowed, to keep more of their paycheck. And now that people have more money to spend they will want to buy more stuff and that means the rich company owner needs to keep up with the demand for goods and they need more help to build the products that are being ordered at an increasing pace. All of this would create sales tax revenue unlike anything else. Money would be flowing into the US Treasury and the politicians would have a big pot of money to use for the budget. I know Bush 41 (the first George Bush) called this “voodoo economics” but it worked, check the income to the treasury during the tax cuts of Ronald Reagan, it shows that when people were allowed to keep more of what they earned they would spend and in return the treasury got fat with sales taxes. So this is just something to chew on while you agonize about the IRS and the payment agreement that you have to set up with them. Happy April 15th, uh I mean fools day!
You should really ask yourself why does the IRS logo have the scales of justice and an olive branch in it, just curious.

Barack Obama The Stereotypical white guy!

2008-03-23T21:27:00.004-05:00

David Duke, Robert "sheets" Byrd (D VA) and many other notorious politicians are owed an explanation or an apology. After Barack gave his rousing throw grandma under the bus speech, he should just go ahead and buy his membership in Robert "KKK" Byrd's organization or that of the equally hateful group the New Black Panthers. He is both black and white. This must cause some conflict in him but because it is easier to pick on the whites as opposed to the blacks (as Bill Cosby found out) he now has told us that he has upped his standards and you should "up yours." Just food for thought in case you still were unsure about him.

As the Supreme Court contmeplates gun control.

2008-03-18T11:05:00.002-05:00

Is gun control really racist?
By Jason Hall
First of all, I believe that guns have never harmed or killed a single individual. Having said that, I believe that it is the Nimrods who have misused this great tool to do harm and hurt others. A gun is no more dangerous than a very sharp butcher knife (which, by the way, does not make a sound when used), a metal baseball bat or any other items that can be used in the commission of a crime.
Guns are a tool and have been around for a very long time. Gunpowder was put into reinforced bamboo and ignited with a projectile inside; this was an ancient Chinese secret up to about the 16th century. Guns were a way of making the weak strong and able to protect themselves. Guns provided food, kept the wolves away from our cattle and helped us start a country. My point is that guns are a tool and not a problem. This brings me to the premise of this article.
Do gun control laws have a root in racism?
Now on to how all of this started.
Racist arms laws predate the establishment of the United States. Starting in
1751, the French Black Code required Louisiana colonists to stop any blacks,
and if necessary, beat "any black carrying any potential weapon, such as a
cane (you knew the French were involved some how). The Haitian Revolution in the 1790’s really upset the French folks in the Louisiana territory. They enacted laws that prohibited slaves and free blacks from owning a firearm or any other weapon at that time. For the slaves, a weapon would have been a TOOL used to gain their freedom, forcefully or otherwise. The free blacks needed weapons to provide for their families in the frontier and to protect themselves from animals and stupid people (don’t we all). The stupid people that I refer to, were the folks who would kidnap freed slaves and sell them back into slavery (it was difficult for the KKK to instill fear into the populace, with the populace returning fire). Even Native American Indians were not immune from the laws. Between 1630 and 1640 (not sure of exact date) Connecticut passed laws that only “friendly Indians” should be allowed to have firearms. Indeed only the friendlies. This thinking spilled over into the slave owning states in later year. Because of the threat of slave uprisings, these states enacted laws prohibiting blacks both free and slave from owning any weapons, including dogs. The whites thought that the free blacks and slaves would turn these dogs on them as a weapon. In Maryland, unlicensed dogs owned by free blacks were to be killed. Mississippi went one further and outlawed dog ownership by blacks altogether. Talk about harsh; I love my dogs more than I do my guns. On the other hand, a gun will not lick its butt and then your face. To prevent free blacks from moving to Savannah from other parts of Georgia, they decided to tax each person of color $100 per year. All because the establishment was afraid of freed blacks. This would explain why there were more free blacks that fought for the North as opposed to the number (which was small in comparison) of those who fought in the South.
There were still more laws enacted against blacks in America after the Civil War. Black Americans were prohibited from carrying firearms or bowie knives without a license. Although laws for both white and blacks were passed they were unequally enforced (guess who paid for that). Here is one blaring example of this unequal application of the law in the 20th century. Florida Supreme Court
Justice Buford's concurring opinion in Watson v. Stone (1941), in which a
conviction for carrying a handgun without a permit was overturned, because
the handgun was in the glove compartment of a car:
I know something of the history of this legislation. The original Act
of 1893 was passed when there was a great influx of negro laborers in
this State drawn here for the purpose of working in turpentine and
lumber camps. The same condition existed when the Act was amended in
1901 and the Act was passed for the purpose of disarming the negro
laborers and to thereby reduce the unlawful homicides that were
prevalent in turpentine and saw-mill camps and to give the white
citizens in sparsely settled areas a better feeling of security. The
statute was never intended to be applied to the white population and in
practice has never been so applied.
Condoleezza Rice opposes gun control and even gun registration because Bull Connor Birmingham police commissioner could have used it to disarm her father and others in 1963 as they protected themselves from the segregationists during the marches and protests. The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing killed a classmate of Condoleezza Rice, who at the time was only 9 years old. If anyone understands that human dignity needs to be defended even with the barrel of a gun it would be Dr. Rice.
There are other instances in which the white population was to be protected from the people of color having firearms. I am convinced that the best way to control a population is to take away their ability to stop a group of people from controlling them. A gun is a tool that has stopped a lot of violence from occurring to innocent people of all races. Guns truly are colorblind and equal. To empower people is giving them the ability to control their own destiny. Think of this article what you will but the bottom line is there will always be someone out to control another and with out the proper tools to defend your freedom with you will be enslaved. As an end note the dreaded NRA is opposed to gun control and registration also. Makes you think does it not.

Ralph Nader is Unsafe In Any Election!

2008-03-05T10:02:00.004-06:00

2/28/08 at George Washington University Washington DC
Ralph (unsafe in any election) Nader (I) Presidential Candidate.
Excerpts from his speech at this institute for higher learning (I think we all know who was high here.)
Corporations need to be held accountable to law enforcement actions for greed and waste and the corporations are supposed to be our servants and not our masters. We need to amend the constitution to make them work for us. They cook up deals with dictators around the world for mining rights and other such agreements. What about the all mighty government and the deals that we have made with dictatorships in the name of alliances to fight wars or to secure our national interests, how about that. The trust and faith that Nader is willing to put into our government is a little too blind unless of course he is the head of that government. He went on to pontificate that we the people own the lands and we own the technologies, not the corporations. The government through our tax dollars gave the research “freely” to the corporations and now they charge us the “people” money to stop and treat diseases, that the government gave them the research to begin with “freely.” That is like Al (messiah) Gore taking credit for the internet. Yes the government does pour money into research that helps to better our lives but it does not create the things that we need to have in order to live. The only thing that government creates is a lot of red tape and more government. Government this and government that, it is this, the benevolent government idea, that has created the great Socialist and Communist states that have ever existed, oh wait, those governments abused power, stifled creativity, killed innovation (and people) because some bureaucrat did not like an idea or wanted it for themselves.
Micromanagement does not a good government make. For example, do you not like having independent thought at work, the freedom to make decisions on your own that will actually help a company or do you want to have some idea stealing hack (who takes credit for others work) looking over every decision you make and critiquing all. This form of intrusion is not only uncalled for but against the very nature of the innovative spirit of this country’s very founding. The Founding Fathers or The Framers (in new speak, thanks Orwell) were tired of being regulated from afar and not being allowed to think for themselves. The King and select bunch of crown cronies were into anything with regulations and tax happy. They were more worried about how something might affect the King (including speech Mr. McCain) rather than creating a good government that works for the people.
Ultimately the government is the source of all good in the known universe to Mr. Nader. And when our Representative form of government fails, we need to implement a direct democracy. This is what we would call “mob rule” of course this mob would not include you and me but rather those that we would choose to “represent” us the people in the “people’s house”, you can see where this is going, right? We will replace One form of government abusing bureaucrat with another but call it “direct democracy” representing the “will of the peoples”, I am sure when China “liberated” Tibet they told them the same thing. We have to keep in mind that this government only exists because we say so. That is what is so unique about it. But we can also give our government all the power if we so choose. But remember when that happens there is no going back, they will stop you, with force if necessary!
Now here is something else that Ralph claims, the Democrats and Republicans do not have health care for all on the table (does he not watch the Democrat debates.) I understand the thought about the Republican party, but the Democrats, I dunno, maybe I missed something or is he getting his news from…MARS! Hey Ralph, you should really lay off the BONG WATER. At least this explains the hair cut that he has been sporting lately.
Here is a really good bit of wise and well thought out wisdom from the Ralph Meister. Students are the ones who are disenfranchised by voter registration (those who are from out of state I am assuming) and the voting age should be lowered to 16 because “ if you can drive and work then why not vote?” I know I really trust a 16 year old behind the wheel of vehicle let alone our government. Hey why not lower the age to run for senate to 16 or the president to 16. We all know at 16 you are not prone to influence from others and can definitely think on your own with out any bias at all. And this is why I maintain Ralph Nader is “Unsafe in any Election.” Just thought you should know!

Barack Obama enslaving the working poor!

2008-03-02T15:53:00.002-06:00

One of the points that I have been making for years is that raising the minimum wage is just a vote buying gimmick; and a way to enslave a large population of unskilled workers to the plantation of government welfare.
Economists and at least one president have for years stated that raising the minimum wage was not a way to help the poor out of poverty.

The Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on 2/15/06 during his first semi annual report to Congress stated. "I think it (a higher minimum wage) does lower employment," Bernanke told lawmakers. "However, I note that the literature is very controversial on this subject. "One might consider alternative ways of helping working-class Americans -- for example, the earned income tax credit which delivers money to working families without necessarily affecting the employment."
“Raising the minimum wage is the wrong way to raise the incomes of low-wage earners." President Clinton, as quoted in Michael Kramer, "Minimum Wage, Minimum Sense," Time, Feb. 6, 1995. Still does not explain why he raised it anyway, oh yeah, that’s right were talking about Billy boy.

Does the old saying “a rising tide lifts all boats” come to mind, and with NAFTA who in this country (the manufacturers) is going to continue paying the increased wages and sell cheaply priced goods; while having the understanding that the rest of the world especially China, can do it for so much less. Again thanks to NAFTA, these increases are going to create a “wage bubble” and then POP! We will reach a point where there will be very few jobs mainly because the cost of doing business in the US is too expensive. Are we going to become a nation of consumers and not producers; oh wait, we will not be able to afford anything because we have priced our selves out of our jobs! Now that you are out of a job, you need a place to stay, food to eat and help for your family. Guess what, the government will step in and in the name of compassion will help you meet your needs (say hello to a socialist society) and punish those eeevvviiiillll corporations for firing you. But back to our aphorism, all boats will be lifted, and I do mean all boats this includes, the USS cost of living and the USS price of goods. What business is going to just eat the cost of increasing wages and not pass that cost on to you, the consumer in the price of the goods? If they do just eat it, then they will eventually go out of business or they will start “downsizing” workers. Forget about getting a job especially if you are not skilled and say goodbye to entry level work. Again NAFTA will offer a way out of the increased minimum wages by shifting production to poorer countries where labor is really, really cheap.

Excerpted from Barack Hussein Obama book Keeping Americas Promise! Ensuring Living Wages and Improving Working Conditions Raise the Minimum Wage: Even though the minimum wage will rise to $7.25 an hour by 2009, the minimum wage’s real purchasing power will still be below what it was in 1968. Obama will further raise the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2011, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers can earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing – things so many people take for granted.

This guy and others like him (both republicans and democrats or just REPUBLICRATS) are going to create a third world atmosphere and economic condition if we do not stand up and say NO (unless McCaine completely destroys the rest of the 1st amendment.)
You know we could spread this misery evenly for other countries and just annex all of Mexico and Latin America, just a thought.
Now to those of you who are just salivating to run me down as some one who does not care about the “working poor” (there is an oxymoron) and I am some kind of heartless wealthy man, well I am not. In the same vain I would say that you care even less for the “working poor” because you would let politicians destroy our working base and send more jobs out of the country. You are a bunch of heartless hacks take that!

DNA Databases, Jails, and the threat to our Constitution.

2008-02-23T12:42:00.003-06:00

Below is the link to the original story.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7260164.stm

In the UK they have a national DNA database that helps to match convicted criminals to a crime scene. This helps increase the efficiency of the police and it brings justice to those who truly are guilty… or does it? There is no denying DNA evidence it is very conclusive (less than1 in a billion match.) But what if your DNA was entered into this database and you were not even convicted of a crime, or worse yet they just want you on record, you know, just in case you do decided to do something.

In September 2007, Lord Justice Sedley - one of England's most experienced appeal court judges - called for the register to be made universal.
He condemned the existing system as "indefensible", said it was biased against ethnic minorities, and it would be fairer to include everyone, guilty or innocent.

Yes in the interest of fairness (let see him impose that standard to UK muslims) he is willing to trash the civil rights, dare I say, the privacy of every citizen (probably not himself of course) in the UK. This whole thinking of fairness leads us down the primrose path of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS and the fact that cops are getting way to LAZY! They want it all to be handed to them.
But what of innocent until proven guilty or should I say guilty until proven innocent (that is what it will come to.) But in the US we enjoy the protections of the Constitution namely the 4th and 5th amendments in criminal court. But at the rate that our politician are going (McCain-Feingold) we will soon see our Constitutional rights being eroded away just so things will be “fairer and easier” for those who are in control. And do not kid yourselves those in control consider themselves in “control.” To use a “Marxist” term, they are the new bourgeois [sic] leadership. This will be a convenient way to just nail everybody in one fell swoop and virtually create a police state, one in which everybody is SUSPECT (think 1984 and the thought police.) Speaking of thought police, hate crimes come to mind; and yes this database being mandatory could be used maliciously, in controlling certain individuals to act the way the “bourgeois” want them to. Who is to say that they will not only swab your mouth but take a few hair samples, you know, to keep as “part of the database records” and you can imagine of the rest. As far as I know the idea of a mandatory DNA registration for everyone in the US has not been taken under consideration, but give it time.
Now back to the other issue of not being convicted of a crime and still having to register. In our constitution (which McCain obviously sees as a pesky nuisance to his grab for power) The 5th amendment gives us the right against self incrimination and it could be argued that forcing citizens to register would be forcing one to testify using their own bodies. So far I would think that the 4th amendment would protect us against the government from “seizing” DNA samples of us all…for now. But we also thought we were protected from government seizure of our private property (that worked our well… Kelo v. City of New London anybody!) Do not count on the Supreme Court
So what are we to do? We need to vigilantly guard our civil liberties in accordance with the Bill of Rights and the Constitution this is why we need constitutional education in our public schools sooooo badly. Kids now days are being taught that we are given our rights by the governments and legislation. The truth is the government governs because the people allow them to. If we ever just stood up and said no more, they would all be out of work in an instant. And this is an unsolicited plug but go to www.heritage.org and you can order a FREE copy of the constitution for yourself. It really is nice to have a copy on hand in case you have any questions.

John McCain pulling another Perot

2008-01-31T13:54:00.000-06:00

John McCain, is he pulling a fast one on the Republican party like Ross Perot did back in the 90’s. What Perot did was to appeal to the “independent” voter and vote for a change or a new direction. What was not widely talked was his animosity against the former George Bush. You remember the accusations that the Republicans (in 1992) were going to pull a “dirty trick” on his daughter during her wedding. Now to McCain’s run this time, he believed that it was his turn to run for president in 2000 but Bush got in his way and you know the rest from then on. Now 2008 McCain is running again and is taking all the endorsements and anything else that he can to get the nomination nod from the Republicans. Now to delve into my theory that McCain is going be instrumental in handing the White House to the Democrats in 2008. First lets take a look at the positive reporting from the media. First and foremost there is no real examination of his cooperation with “liberal” politicians, ie…Feingold for one. His wreaking havoc on the first Amendment (which gives us the freedom of the press) is not touted as a bad thing. But non the less the Media is giving him a fighting chance unlike the savage beating that they would normally give any other “true” conservative Republican. This leads to my thinking that this could be a major “bait and switch” candidate. As with Ross Perot, McCain is going to divide up the republican vote between the conservative Reagonites and the “Blue Blood Liberal” wing of the Republican party. By this I mean that those who believe that McCain is betraying the Constitution (McCain Feingold) will not vote for him. This will leave the “liberal” and the so called independent voters to push for him and give him great exposure as a “maverick” candidate. I think it is safe to say that the independent voters are more than likely going to vote for Democrats when the rubber meats the road. But the “liberals” needed to propel an easy target to the forefront of the Republican party so that they can seal the deal for the Democrats to take over in 2008. I also believe that McCain knows this and with his cozying up to the Democrats over the years has put him in a great position to surrender the White House to the Democrats if he gets the nod. The way for him to get the nod is to get the delegate votes. This is where the media come into play for him. They gin him up as the candidate for the Republicans by trashing his opponents and puffing him up to look good and making him a sure thing. But we all know who the media truly supports and they could not with a straight face endorse a Republican candidate unless they had an agenda. Like Ross Perot, McCain has already fractured the Republican conservative base against the more left of the party. Now why would a person be willing to sacrifice their chance at the highest office in the land unless there was not a good reason. Remember Ross split up the vote for the Democrats and Clintons in 1992, now the same thing is occurring again for the Democrats and the CLINTONS. Do not underestimate the Clintons. SSSD–Same Stuff Same Democrat. This would make one think, with McCain’s friendship with the more “liberal” Democrats what is his “second prize” for giving up the White House. Could this be maybe better treatment and position in the Senate or maybe a cabinet position. Remember he was approached before about running as V.P. on the Democratic ticket. This makes sense when you think about how this race has been run and what McCain stands for (btw he is a RINO republican in name only) and who are these mysterious “independent” voters anyway.

And the Rich Stay Rich!

2008-01-30T13:03:00.000-06:00

Good ole Johnny boy, during his speech announcing his exit from the race today; let us know about the haves and have-nots. He mentioned that he stopped at a homeless shelter and visited the people there. He made mention of the pastor who was feeding the people at the shelter with her own money. She said that her bank account was all but gone. He then pontificated about how a homeless person came to him and ask him not to forget them when they go back to Washington. He was obviously touched and this did affect him. But this goes to show how this pompous windbag is only concerned about how he looks and not what he should really do. You know Jesus even said that if you just say good things about the homeless, it does them absolutely no good whatsoever (James 2:14, incase you think I am making this up.) John was apparently touched but not enough to give the shelter any money from HIS POCKET as the pastor was doing, instead he was probably thinking “I need another $400 haircut.” Yeah, he has shown us that it is good to be the HAVES of America. Just thought you should know.

A hidden agenda in the campaign of Obama?

2008-01-24T15:11:00.000-06:00

After some thinking and considerable digging, my mind is made up about Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. I would like to first preface with this; I would not have voted for him in the first place. But now I know why I would never vote for him or someone who would claim to be like him. Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. is a member of the Trinity United Church Of Christ, for over 20 years. This is long enough to absorb and take in what is being taught there, as it would be with any other organization. Barack has had this time to have a lot of his thinking formed from this one single source of teaching. Yes I am aware that his mother had taught him about the world, its heroes and legends and as a result put his mind into a way thinking that would be considered "global." That is not the problem that I am having, lets face it a lot of us would be much better of with a well rounded life experience on a "global" scale (no I do not endorse or advocate a one world philosophy.) The problem that I am having is with the view points of the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. who is the head of this particular Church Of Christ. Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Does claim that they are a part of a people that God has chosen to fight oppression and injustice. This is not necessarily a bad thing on the surface but looks can be deceiving. Now lets take a look at one of his sponsored links on the web site ( http://www.tucc.org/home.htm ) a link to a magazine called Trumpet Magazine. I find it intriguing that one of the featured articles about "Empowerment", for November and December 2007 issues, was from non other than The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. The WHAT?!!! This man is known for his hate of Jews and anything Zionist. This man is the epitome of Black Racism if ever there was an example. But this is linked from the web site of the Church Of Christ. And if you are thinking this is just a link and they cannot control what the magazine prints; then look at the Church bulletin for Sunday January 20th 2008. This from the Pastor's Page, Issuing accolades to The Trumpet and its creator Rev. Barbara Allen, for all its hard work. This is very disturbing for a man who claims that they are for justice and that they are African-centered thought, unlike Eurocentrism, does not assume superiority and look at everyone else as being inferior. "Unlike Eurocentrism" would this possible be code for "whites." Another point of interest is the repeated references to W.E.B Du Bois who was an early 20th century civil rights leader and possible a Communist in his thinking. In a March 16, 1953 issue of The National Guardian, Du Bois wrote "Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature." In what, MASS MURDER! I wonder what he would have thought of Pol Pot! But all insanity aside, he was after all a civil rights leader, right. This man seems to have embedded his ethos into the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. Du Bois' (picture of W.E.B. Du Bois at left) communist thinking as far as econmics is concerned, has been planted in to Dr. Wrights mind and has shaped his thinking about wealth. "Middleclassness" is something that Barack Hussein Obama, Jr's Church warns against. The Church has used this term to mean "selfish individualism" and urges them to channel their "gains" back into the "community." Nothing like a guilt trip for having a buck more than your neighbor. I am sure this is what Stalin wanted also… in the beginning. "Workers paradise" I think is what they called it. Now that you have some of the thinking and some of the logic of those who influenced Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., can you really think that he would not push for a more collectivist United States Government (look how well it has worked for the third world countries in Africa) and he would be predisposed to taking more of your income to "put back into the Community." I am sure that this is just the tip of the iceberg but the fact remains that this man is not in one way ashamed of his life and leanings. This man is apologetically a true believer in what he has learned and that makes him dangerous! I am not voting for McCaine either!!!!

Africans still enslaving Africans

This is a story about a slave in modern day Africa. Watch this for your self and then say that the US owes reparations. Just FYI. I do not know how long this link will be active so watch soon. This is from the BBC.

Just shut up and let me run things!

2008-01-22T15:07:00.001-06:00

Do not be concerned about the second Amendment (McCaine does not own any guns); we are in danger of loosing our first Amendment. Once again McCain has gone after our first Amendment freedom of speech. What does he have against the people being able to speak freely? Our Bill of Rights guarantees us the right to redress grievances against our government, unless it is speech aimed at a politician apparently. Another question is why am I reporting this and not the national media, you know NBC, CBS and ABC and curiously FNC; these are the guys who you would think profit the most from the first Amendment. And the fact that it is a Republican that is heading this assault would be usually more than enough for them to tar and feather the Republican party as being anti–Constitutional! But they have been strangely quiet on this issue, makes you wonder…hmmm, what are they getting out of this? This is what McCain (R) Arizona, said when asked if the McCain-Feingold law impeded the freedom of speech on the Don Imus radio show (April 28 06). (McCaine) "I work in Washington and I know that money corrupts. And I and a lot of other people were trying to stop that corruption. Obviously, from what we've been seeing lately, we didn't complete the job. But I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government." This total nut job of a Republican is willing to throw away everything that the Founding Fathers fought and died for. In case any of you have forgotten what it is that I am referring to here it is: Amendment I: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. I wonder how long until someone exercises their second amendment rights to protect the first. What could cause a person to consider removing parts of the Constitution just for “a clean government” the money that goes to the various candidates also comes from the average Joe in America. Are they the reason that McCaine needs to fear; I fear a Government that fears the voice of the people. It used to be considered treason again the crown if you spoke ill of the King; this was punishable by death in some instances. Is this what we want. If it was not for this freedom of speech, we would not know who is a whack job and who is not. As an end note President Bush signed this into law, these are very troubling signs indeed.

New Years Dissolutions.

2008-01-08T22:43:00.000-06:00

Now that the drunken parties are well over with and the hangovers are reminding us that we are only human, it is time to start with our new years resolution or dissolutions. I will loose weight, I will diet and exercise, blah, blah, blah. Yeah we have heard them over and over again. Lets actually do something that we will stick with. Lets start with showing up for work…on time, pay our taxes, go to bed at night. Yes these are the easy ones and surprisingly they are attainable goals. But lets say you want to impress your friend(s) with lofty goals but you do not want to fall flat on your face in humiliation. Take loosing weight for instance; you could do a weigh in during the winter months and a final weight during the summer months. In the winter you will wear your “winter” clothes to weight more, and in the summer do the final weight in shorts and a t-shirt. Now the diet and exercise part, this will take a little showmanship on your part. Buy some of those South Beach diet boxes or what ever you would care to be seen with and strategically place them around your house. When your friend(s) come over make sure they see you with some of these in your hands some of the time. Do not make a big deal or even mention it to them, what you have done is planted the image in their mind of you with the diet food. The exercise part will be a little more demanding but well worth the payoff. Like the diet food boxes you can place weights in the house make sure to dust them to make them appear they are being used. Also you may want to wear some sweats and actually do a little exercise to work up a sweat, keeping up appearances is what most resolutions are about. You know a little window dressing on yourself will give the appearance that you are actually doing something to improve your life. This occurs with minimal effort and will get those perky cheerleader types of your back so you can focus on what you want to do…fishing, hunting, watching the tube, you know, the important things in life. Just my way of defending against humanities endless parade of “my way of life is better than yours” no fun having cheerleaders. Besides we are all going to die of one thing or another, right, so have some fun.

Somewhere a trailer park is crying.

2007-12-21T11:40:00.000-06:00

This is the continuing saga of the Spears Clan and how family values are being regularly devalued. Does this amaze anyone really, I mean, it is after all the sister of Britney and all that she represents. At least Britney had the common decency to try marriage. The trash does not blow far from the trailer (a reference to "the nut does not fall far from the tree" and I in no way wish to slight those who live in trailers, I have lived in one.) This family like the Lohans' should sound a warning that if we let the inmates run the asylum; then this is what we get and we should not be surprised. As far as an over the age guy having sex with a 16 year old (Casey the boyfriend is 19). He should be treated as the law prescribes. A sixteen year old should be doing other things rather than having babies. I mean sixteen, is the pinnacle of maturity and wisdom. Starting a family at this age should be strived for by all. Bottom line is this; the spears family will have to add another room to the double wide and fathers day will be held in prison this year. If this does not scream "JERRY, JERRY, JERRY" then I do not know what does.

The above story tells it all, we "gringos" have been put on notice. A story that is old hat for those of us who actually pay attention. And now hopefully the national media will show what a real hate crime is, even when committed, by a few "minority" idiots. The trend to brow beat "white America" is very strong and a little too easy when it comes to "hate crimes." How many of you know of Jasper Texas, I am willing to bet all of you (who were of age at the time.) Did you hear of a lonely soccer field in Wichita Kansas on December 14, 2000. Some black guys (Reginald Carr & younger brother Jonathan Carr) killed some white people, no big deal just business as usual, unless, the races were reversed then you get a Jasper. I wonder how long this Boston story will be buried so as not to make "Hispanics" look bad (Bush's favorite group.) I also wonder if the restaurant ever burns down and the Fire department is called; will they bring marshmallows and weenies. This will be interesting to watch if the term "gringo" gets any play at all. I do not like racists jerks of any color but when you play favorites for political correctness, that is when I get nasty about it.

http://catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=11089 You must read this story about a woman who was dumb enough to go to a Muslim country to teach. I use "dumb" in a polite way. She is a British citizen and apparently the politically correct crowd has brainwashed her thoroughly. By that I mean she was raised in an environment that taught her tolerance and acceptance for all people and religious beliefs. She was, wrong, wrong, wrong. Now she will have to pay for her insult to Islam. I bet right now she is thinking

"they are able to put a crucifix of Christ in a jar of urine and put elephant dung on paintings of the virgin Mary." "So why am I being punished for naming a teddy bear after a student named Mohamed?"

Well lets see if we can reason this out and be sympathetic to the cause of Islam (BTW is Arab for submission) and come to an understanding. They consider any resemblance of Mohamed to be an idol or something that can be worshiped. The worship of anything other than GOD (in Arabic this is Allah) is verboten. To use Mohammad's name in a dishonorable manner is considered an insult and violates sharia law. Sharia law is a zero tolerance for any outside of Islam and even less for those who are Muslims. They are going to put this woman through a maze of misery before all is said and done. Now having said all of this the PC crowd will condone and even promote blasphemy of anything Christian. As an added bonus they will label you as an intolerant bigot if you say anything. I would like to see some one get 40 lashes for putting a crucifix in a jar of urine, oh wait, that is my intolerance showing up and not my respect of a religion. Bottom line is this; I am to respect all ways of life and religions accept one…Christianity! If I do not then there is something wrong with me. There must be something to this Jesus person, if everyone is willing to go out of their way to denounce and "insult" Him. Also you might notice that this has not hit the mainstream media, who by the way is afraid of reporting news that will cast a negative view of Islam.

Holiday Thoughts

Why I like Thanksgiving.

A. There are no presents to buy, so no one has any ridiculous expectations or hurt feelings.
B. There are no stupid cards or flowers that you HAVE to buy someone, therefore no ridiculous expectations.
C. All anyone expects of you is some food, which is easy to accommodate. This does not include the picky family members, but just like other holidays; you do not have to invite them.
D. The best part about Thanksgiving: When the food is gone, so are they!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, and thanks to those who go out of their way to make the other GREAT days Miserable for the rest of us (ACLU NAALCP Not in our community and others who hate anything that has the J word in it, that would be Jesus.)

Ethos of my blog

2007-11-15T15:14:00.000-06:00

I intend to have thought out postings and not just the ramblings of a mad man. I will post articles that will make sense and even make you laugh (a sense of humor is a must in today’s world.) I should also let you know that I will probably post something that will upset someone at some time. This will be inevitable, for I have been upsetting someone for one reason or another for most of my life. If I do offend you, good, at least I know that you are paying attention. It would be safe to say; I do not really care anymore. You may call me brook if you think that I am babbling now. Thank you, more to come.
