Cartoon Network Leads McCain, Obama by 34 points

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!

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.

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!

Save the planet! Collect more money!

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

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!

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!

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.

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.
