...and people keep asking me why...

.
...asking me why I carry a gun now, 24 / 7, 365, when I'm outside my house. I don't go to my dumpster without my gun. I don't let the g'sons go out front, unless I'm there with my gun.
.
But the 3 main Police Chiefs in the Triangle [which is the greater metro area I live in here in central NC] all keep saying we DON'T have a gang problem. Even when the Police Chief in Durham is in the middle of a fire fight.
.
Durham Police Chief Jose Lopez said Friday that a Thursday afternoon incident in which his unmarked car was hit by gunfire doesn't mean the city is unsafe.

Lopez said he wasn't injured in the incident, which occurred near the intersection of South Roxboro and Dillard streets.

He said he was headed to a leadership conference at the Durham County Detention Center when he heard a noise that he thought was a car backfiring. He quickly realized that someone hanging out of a nearby vehicle was firing a weapon.

"At that time I saw that, he was directly firing at me and then continued on," he said. "Subsequent to that, I tried to give chase to the vehicle."

Lopez chased the vehicle, described as a red van, for a block and a half before returning to the scene of the shooting and finding that the driver of a second car had been shot.

It's this kind of crap that has me moving to the boonies. I really don't want to shoot anyone. And it's painfully obvious that the friggin' top cops around here are clueless as to WHEN the situation IS dangerous, so there's no way to count on them.

No offense to anyone here associated with law enforcement.

A Celebration Of Marxism

Tomorrow is May Day, a day, that in many places, is used to celebrate Marxism and Communism. Apparently, it will also be a day when the illegal invaders from Mexico come out in force in an attempt to further intimidate this country, but to also intimidate the state, people, and elected officials of Arizona. If you entered Mexico illegally and did this, you'd be shot in the street, which simply proves how much more advanced they are than we are, since they're willing to protect their country.

The state of AZ. is now under a great deal of pressure, and all of it coming from the radical Left. Protests, boycotts, marches, and just about anything else the supporters of Marxism and illegals can come up with. If i were the governor of AZ and people said they weren't coming to my state, i'd say, great! Go to Tijuana instead, but you'd better be carrying a machine gun and lots of ammo!. I truly hope the people and the elected officials of AZ are strong enough to stand up to it all. If they are, most of the illegals will depart (ASAP) and their state will be a lot safer. It would be worth their effort...

The Feds want more control? NOOOO!!!

.
Black Boxes on all new cars, so the NHTSA can recall cars quicker. What a bucket o' turds. They want more control, end of conversation. It's a box to collect data. But HOW do they access said data? Directly? That means they'll know how fast you drive, and how much.

I think they can go piss on a spark plug!!

All new cars would have to be equipped with "black boxes" that record performance data and federal safety regulators would be granted the authority to order immediate recalls under newly proposed auto-safety legislation being considered by Congress.

The draft of a bill was released Thursday by one of the House committees investigating Toyota's massive recalls for unintended acceleration in its vehicles. Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.), chairman of the House commerce committee, and Sen. John D. Rockefeller (D-W.Va.), chair of the Senate commerce committee, have said they intend to collaborate on automobile safety legislation this year.

The draft contains a wide array of provisions. Some require new safety features, such as the black boxes -- called event data recorders -- and brake override systems that allow a driver to stop a car even when the throttle is stuck open.

Other elements of the bill give the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration more power to crack down on automakers that break the rules.
.
I have a suggestion. Crack down on the MANUFACTURERS then, NOT the buyers!!

But what good has the Census done?

.
If you're in those BIG states...maybe it HURT!!
.

Five states - New York, California, Texas, Arizona and Florida - are perilously close to losing out on congressional seats because of lackluster participation in the U.S. census.

The five were average or below average in mailing back 10-question census forms when compared to other states, trailing by as many as 5 percentage points, according to the final census mail-in tally released Wednesday.

Based on recent population trends, New York, California and Texas had been estimated to fall just above the cutoff for the last House seats when they are redistributed next year. Waiting behind them in hopes of picking up additional seats are Arizona and Florida, which are already expected to gain one seat apiece.

Of the five states on the cusp, the biggest potential losers are California and New York, which could have a net loss of one and two House seats, respectively. Texas may end up gaining just three House seats instead of four.
.
HMMMM...the uber-lib, knuckle-heads who want to be the top dogs are going to lose seats? Awww, doncha feel sorry for them?

I don't. The uber-libs CAUSED a bunch of our problems and because they want to house and protect folks whom ain't sufosed to bees he'ah anywayz, now they pay the price. More illegals, with fewer bucks to feed them.

Rights? Who says you got rights?!

AZ is going all out with their new immigration law. And because of it, TX is considering a similar law. But it's making the hispanics mad, especially the illegal ones.

Now I ask you, IF these sign carriers ARE legal, WHY are they hiding their faces? Did any of US [spelled U.S.] go to the Tea Party events and HIDE our FACES? Hell, I didn't HIDE my GUN!!
.
But I digress. Due to the new AZ law, hispanics from 70 cities are planning marches and boycotts. Personally I want to hold marches and boycotts for...speeders, or....litterers, or...pick pockets. If we're supporting illegal activity, I think we need to at least support illegal activities that don't cost us MONEY at the levels the illegal IMMIGRANTS cost us.
.
And how come only illegal hispanics bitch and complain? We never hear from illegal Canadians, or illegal Greeks, or illegal Nigerians, or even illegal Norwegians? Could it be that they are smart enough to shut the hell up, or is that they don't have a big enough voting block to feel safe?

How did they Nazi this coming?

.
That was such a great line, and it's such a weird story, I had to post it!
.

Three men who showed up in full Nazi regalia to a hardcore punk show at an Old City bar Friday night were attacked by as many as 50 people on the streets after leaving the venue, according to witnesses and club management.

The headlining band at the Khyber that night was Murphy's Law, led by front man Jimmy G, who formerly went by the moniker Jimmy Gestapo.

In an e-mail to the Daily News, Jimmy G confirmed that some guys had showed up to the concert in "full Nazi field dress."

"And they did get their asses kicked," he wrote. "Again."

Khyber owner Stephen Simons, who was not at the show, said he had been told that the crowd inside "largely ignored and mocked" the three men.

But after they exited the club, on 2nd Street near Chestnut, they were attacked by a group of up to 50 people, he said.

"I guess being on 2nd Street in SS uniforms on a Friday night is a way to incite a semi-riot," Simons said.

From the end of the article.

"There was a man on the second floor wearing a wedding dress," he said. "I don't think he had any problems going out on 2nd Street."

But did he go home with his virginity in tact?.

UPDATE to the original story: I heard this on TWO radio shows this morning. There wasn't ONE guy in a wedding dress, there were NUMEROUS guys. Upstairs from the punk show, there was a Wedding Dress Drag Fashion Show. The reports are that, SEVERAL guys in drag helped beat up the numb nut Nazis.

You can't make THIS stuff up!

Today marks an important moment

Old, Glory.

.
Part of my current runnings has been a near endless series of inspections, paperwork, and endless hours of stooging around while the inspectors...inspect.
.
Today I had the pleasure of watching [and smelling] a septic tank inspection. The inspector turned out to be a hell of a nice gentlemen, who happens to be a conservative, small businessman. While he worked, we talked politics and history and books, weather and it was if I'd known him for years.
.
As we closed up the tank [which leaks by the by, and needs a $700 repair GD'it] Bill invited me to a Flag Retirement Ceremony. I decided to take my grandsons and go out there to let them see how a flag should be taken care of.
.
Have you ever been in a crowd of TOTAL strangers, but felt at home? Comfortable? Like you were supposed to be there? THAT was this event. It turns out that it was The Boy Scouts. I never asked, Mrs Schteveo asked me earlier what the "organization" was. I hadn't asked Bill when he invited me.
.
I can't tell you how many of the adults, and the scouts, asked me if I wanted their CHAIR. I stood for a while, then found a seat I thought would take my big ol' butt. A tail gate on a Chevy picnic truck! They even wiped it off for me.
.
The ceremony was what I remembered, with minor adjustments for this troop. They saluted and read about the flag, the history of the flag, how we should treat the flag, it was VERY patriotic. More importantly, I was reminded that there are still families who follow the rules and traditions I was raised with and that my boys were raised with.
.
At 5 o'clock I was beat, the kids were happy hanging out with Sponge Bob, Mrs. Schteveo had already decided she was too tired. But I felt the need to do this. First because I was honestly invited, and the kids just don't get exposed to anything based on history and get nothing patriotic other than our political bent. I felt like there was a reason to be there, and I was right. Actually there are a number of things I was reminded that I needed to be...trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
.
I'm quite glad that I went and I'm happier still that I took the boys.

Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati

Pigeon latin for "when all else fails, play dead." Words to live by, my friends.

In Response to Anon's Last Comment on Jimbo's Tax Thread

Answer to Anon’s straw-man question at the end of Jimbo’s post about how much he pays in taxes, which was “How much should you pay for living here?”:

How much should I pay for the privilege of living here? In Federal Tax - exactly as much as it costs to maintain a Federal Government that is constrained within the bounds of the Articles of the US Constitution and not a penny more. I am not discussing a strained interpretation that capitalizes on the word “welfare” that is written in the preamble (which was a concern for many of the people that wrote it, if you read the federalist papers) and uses this one word for an excuse to do all sorts of unConstitutional things, but a direct interpretation as it is directly constrained in the Articles.

Not billions from the pockets of single mothers to aid farms that cannot make it on their own for some reason (could it be because prices are held artificially low because of government mandates? Naw, couldn’t be). Not billions from the pockets of hard working middle class men who want to put food on their family’s table to boondoggle foreign aid and the corruption of the UN. Not billions from my pocket to pay for my neighbor’s vices and necessaries, or for mine, as I think we would all be better off if we were allowed to take care of ourselves (just as we were when that was the case).

It is amazing to me that before about 1920, when the US Government operated at least nominally within the constraints of the Constitution, and even before 1913 when there was no direct federal tax levied upon the people, income or otherwise, that not only did our government function perfectly well on an eighth of it’s current budget, even adjusted for inflation, but it did so with a nagging, annoying BUDGET SURPLUS every single year with the exception of a few right after the Civil War. As soon as the purse strings opened up, though, it seemed that the Feds never could get enough money because they always found something else on which to spend it, and always something else after that. Starting in 1913, when the income tax was added and ratified as an Amendment to our Constitution (and no, I’m not saying the income tax is not Constitutional, as it was, indeed, ratified as an Amendment, and therefore is exactly that – Constitutional) as something like a 3% income tax (flat, across the board), that taxation has skyrocketed, and real, actual utility of government to the people has not kept up with the amount that they are taxed.

In 1913, when the income tax was ratified, there was one congressman who, in the register kept of the debate, worried that some day, this tax might go as high as (GASP!) TEN PERCENT! A proponent of the tax responded that “The people, sir, would never allow that.”

But we have, to this point, and now some of us are drawing the line in the sand and saying “ENOUGH!” (I, for one, paid alarmingly close to 50% of my salary to the government this year, which means that I functioned as a slave for the first 6 months of 2009, and am once again a slave until June, as I labor but am allowed to keep none of the fruits of my labor for that period of time). This doesn’t make us evil or greedy, it makes us smart. We have watched as more and more of the reward for our efforts (the dollar, is, as it were, simply a vessel in which we can store our own expended energy and sweat) gets washed away by a massive Federal juggernaut, to be spent recklessly on things that we don’t care about or disagree with without a say in the matter. You of all people should understand this – how much does it hurt you to know that by paying taxes, you directly financed the Iraq war against your will? How much good could you have done had you been allowed to keep that money for yourself? Spent it locally to support an artist that you liked, or a restaurant that employs people and supports their family?

Jimbo, for instance, employs several people. $50,000 dollars is enough to hire another person. Feed another family. Keep someone who wants to work from being unemployed and destitute, but that ability was taken from him by the government so that they can give the money to bankers and auto executives that couldn’t compete within the markets anymore because of their own bad decisions. And someone, somewhere in Jimbo’s town is without a job because of it. So much for the caring, benevolent government, eh?

My next question is does Jimbo, to continue the example, receive $50,000 worth of utility out of the government per year for his part in paying his taxes? I cannot imagine what $50,000 worth of utility per year looks like – that is considerably more than I make in my salary. I can imagine what the $16,000 I paid in my federal taxes would have done for me and my family, though, and I just don’t see the payout coming back. Government is a horrible middle-man. They cost 75 cents on the dollar to get things done, with their b-cracy and b-shit. They are not the answer.

What is amazing to me is that I pay a much, much smaller percentage of my taxes to the State and City where I live, and the return to me is excellent – my kids get good schools, I drive to work every day on well-maintained (okay, occasional pothole, but well maintained) roads, I get all the clean, fresh water my family can drink, and our refuse is hauled and sewered away very cheaply. So I get a lot more from my local government, yet pay much less to them. I wonder if maybe that is why the Founding Fathers set the Constitution up the way they did – because centrally-located power is incapable of efficiently and fairly governing? Nah, couldn’t be.

Of course, I don’t expect that you read any of this, and fully expect that you will insult me for being a stupid mindless Neocon in 3…2…1…

Remember General Custer?

The general consensus seems to be that the Marxist in the Oval Office, that highly experienced master of foreign policy, has all-but conceded the fact that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, and very soon. And aside from threatening not to bow to the head Iranian Mullahs any more, Obummer, the neighborhood organizer, has put us in the cross hairs. Why would any sane, rational president do that? It's because protecting this country is not on Obummer's agenda. Taking the wealth from the people who earn it, and giving to the people who want it, is. In fact, that is the fundamental objective behind just about everything he's done and plans to do.

When the topic of a nuclear-armed Iran comes up, most Obamunists will say, "oh what's the big deal. They just want to power their street lights". But to most other people, those with common sense, the "big deal" is this. After Iran builds it's nukes, how many minutes will it take for those weapons to get delivered to every Al-Qaeda terrorist in the world, including the ones here? How about Iranian nukes, along with a rapidly-growing force of commandos, based in Venezuela, just a couple of minutes away from NYC, DC, and L.A.? In fact, the way things are going, they could set those missiles up in Phoenix and nobody would notice! (or care?) Is it just me, or does anyone else see this as a deadly-serious threat.

While the Marxist-in-Chief is busy turning America into Saul Alinsky's imaginary utopia, while the elected, lying crooks in DC are busy trying to avoid the unemployment lines, while most of the American people are sitting in front of their TV sets trying to figure out why any woman in her right mind would actually sleep with Larry King, our deadliest enemies are getting stronger, and closer. If 9/11 didn't cause the people to wake up, do you think a few mushroom clouds over the US will?

Urban Animalia

.
or in this case, the early chunky monkey gets the worm.
.
Often, because of my illness, I prowl the house in the wee hours of the morning. Sometimes, after a good nights sleep on the other hand, like today, I just wake up early.
.
Because of this, I'm usually sitting in my recliner, looking out the back door, into the trees. This morning, as I started to sit down, I noticed a small dog in the backyard. WAIT, it's NOT a dog, it's a gray fox. And he is fat and well fed too.
.
Since I've moved in here (zoom in to see how close to the street I really sit, about 50 feet to a 4 lane road) some 4 1/2 years ago, here's a short tally of the animals we've seen.
.
bird species to numerous to count, but including
.
Hawks - 3
.
Owls - 2
.
Deer - 5
(a small herd LIVES in the creek, 400 yds from here)
.
Possums - like the birds, WAY too many to count
( a big juvenile LIVES under my concrete porch)
.
Raccoons - 5
.
Coyote - 2
.
the creek is full of small fish, crawdads, fresh water mussels, etc.
.
I hear from friends, family and others all the time about this happening in their neighborhoods too. I lived in this same apt complex in the 1970's when I first moved to NC. The road in front of my building was just two lanes. There were about 50 % less houses, apts, ROADS, and obviously, many fewer people 40 odd years ago. But even though we spent significant time in the now removed for progress woods, we never saw animals like this. We played in that creek and never saw a fish.
.
A mile from here is Lake Johnson. It's part of the city water supply system. When I was a kid, there were boats to rent and cheap fishing gear. The only thing you could catch there was a cold and the occasional carp or catfish. There were NO water fowl.
.
My grandkids call that same Lake, "the duck park".
.
There are a couple hundred ducks of various species, Canada Geese, and a dozen or more domestic geese gone feral down there. We regularly see people pull crappie, bass and BIG catfish out of there, but the place has never been stocked.
.
The point I attempt to make is this. Well, first let me ask, did you see the original "Jurrasic Park"? Jeff Goldblum's character, Ian Malcolm, has a great line when Richard Attenborough says the park is safe, that the animals are controlled and they can't reproduce...they're all female! Ian Malcolm tells him simply,
.
"...nature will not be denied!"
.
It certainly seems so to me. I have personal experience, within a few miles of this building, over a 40 year period, to see species of animals that WERE NOT here when I was a boy. My wife has spent parts of FIFTY years in this same general neighborhood, she says they never saw animals like this when she first moved here. Back to my point.
.
I do believe that man has hunted to extinction some species. For fur, food or feather, we have decimated some species and I think it was wrong. We are supposed to stewards over the earth, not destroyers. But it seems to me, that Malcolm is right. Nature is vital, vibrant and vicious. If given a toe hold, animals will find a niche.
.
The modern take on the earth, as expressed by the hand-wringers, is that life is static, or should be. HUH? If that was the case, there would still be dinosaurs. But for whatever reason, they are gone! Man is part of nature, not separate from it. We are the top of the food chain, but we've made mistakes. The lower animals are able though, to make comebacks. I've seen it, this morning, ten feet from my patio, eating MOLDY POUND CAKE that I threw out for the birds.
.
The birds lose, the fox won, what's more natural than that, in nature. Opportunism and survival of the fittest. Nature. It's still happening, 24 / 7, 365, even IF we don't see it daily.
.
I wish I'd put a hunting camera out there, God only knows what I've MISSED!

Quandary

This one is interesting. At first I applauded the school for having the forethought to include some means of tracking the computers if they were stolen, but then I thought that the ability to abuse this power is too readily available, not to mention the means.

There are other ways to track a computer. Lojack is one that I wasted money on, only because it was not compatible with El Diablo's Windows Vista program. but it might have been a better choice.

I think people will probably get upset with the sheer number of pictures that were captured, but closer reading of the article points out that once the program is activated it automatically takes a picture every 15 minutes. so....let's see....4 per hour times 24 hours times 15 days = 1440 frames....so I guess the program didn't work quite as well as advertised if it missed half the frames by taking only 700 pictures.

The difficulty that the district finds themselves in could have been alleviated by having a sticker or some other means of notification placed on the computer. Something along the line of "if this computer is reported missing, software will be automatically activated to assist in it's location which may include GPS tracking, keystroke recording, screen shot recording and photography".

I applaud the school for providing a means to further education. However I do think that the good idea fairy didn't hit them hard enough. I've placed blocks on my home computers which restrict the activity that my teenager children can access. No social websites, no email, no IMing is allowed on their profiles, they can only access that stuff through my profile, which is only open when I can "spy" over their shoulder. If they don't like it, then they don't need to use the services I provide.

There is also no reason that the school could not have had software installed which would have allowed or prohibited certain things. Having that type of set up and ADVERTISING IT would have made the whole thing less attractive to the thieves.

I am only slightly curious why one staff member invoked the 5th. But the bottom line is that the computers belong to the school, but the school can't take advantage of technology in order to conduct illegal surveillance......thus we have the quandary, how does the school protect its investment and provide the service of educating.

OK, I made a little joke. But I'm pretty sure EVERYTHING else is to be earned, after those basic rights. I don't have a right to fresh vegetables, I can pursue them by growing them. I don't have a right to free schooling. I have the liberty to go to public, private or home school. Or like my case, the liberty to be mostly self educated. I have a right to life. Not a rich, comfortable life. A life with a fancy car is not a right. A life with a big house, big screen TV. Nor a life on a 6 acre micro-farm, with farm animals, living in a tee pee, in Beverly Hills, because THAT infringes some other guys liberty and pursuits!! There are, GASP, limits to these things.

In the EU, they are now embeud with a right to, I shit you not my friends, VACATIONS!!
.
Antonio Tajani, the European Union commissioner for enterprise and industry, proposed a strategy that could cost European taxpayers hundreds of millions of euros a year, The Times of London reports.

"Travelling for tourism today is a right. The way we spend our holidays is a formidable indicator of our quality of life," Mr. Tajani told a group of ministers at The European Tourism Stakeholders Conference in Madrid on April 15. Mr. Tajani was appointed to his post by Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.

The plan -- just who gets to enjoy the travel package has yet to be determined -- would see taxpayers footing some of the vacation bill for seniors, youths between the ages of 18 and 25, disabled people, and families facing "difficult social, financial or personal" circumstances. The disabled and elderly can also be accompanied by one other person. The EU and its taxpayers are slated to fund 30% of the cost of these tours, which could range from youth exploring abandoned factories and power plants in Manchester to retirees taking discount trips to Madrid, all in the name of cultural appreciation.

Honestly, this is near the dumbest idea I ever heard. It's nothing but redistribution of wealth at it's silliest. I can see how people think ONLY the government could feed ALL the poor, I can see how people think ONLY the government could run ALL the schools because of the number of kids, I disagree, but I see it from a logistical view.

Although I suggest the first document with his name that needs to be placed in the Hall of Records is that half-niggaz MFing Birth Certificate or his GD'ed college transcript!! Right after, might I add, Tim Geitner, the LIBERAL JEW pays his effing taxes!!

Schteveo, Mea Culpa Padre

Bill Clinton says, "Words matter", well no duh...

.
Ex-blow jobee Bill Clinton says words matter. I guess so long as one of then isn't "IS", right?
.
In a speech to some group of typical, liberal, nineteen worded name, all American sounding front for socialism [Center for American Progress Action Fund, sounds commie to me] Mr. BJ said,
.
"What we learned from Oklahoma City is not that we should gag each other or that we should reduce our passion for the positions we hold - but that the words we use really do matter, because there's this vast echo chamber, and they go across space and they fall on the serious and the delirious alike. They fall on the connected and the unhinged alike,"
.
I'm guessing that means the SEIU thugs who beat up conservative protesters last fall too, huh? This mealy mouthed SOB needs his ticket punched, IMHO. He's long on BS, short on facts and his 15 minutes were up 10 years ago. Not to mention the fact that you have to go LOOKING for a blurb from past Republican POTUS, but him and Carter are in the news on alternating days.
.
"BILL, Shut TF UP!!"
.
But here's the part I found odd,
.
He also alluded to the anti-government tea party movement, which held protests in several states Thursday. At the Washington rally, Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota railed against "gangster government."

Clinton argued that the Boston Tea Party was in response to taxation without representation. The current protesters, he said, are challenging taxation by elected officials, and the demonstrators have the power to vote them out of office.

.

Typically, he got it wrong AND missed the point. Bill, you knot headed dope, we WERE misrepresented, the public DID tell their elected dumbasses that they did NOT, in overwhelming numbers, ever want the Obamacare crap passed, and YET the did it!! See he thought JUST having laws shoved at you, but not having elected the law givers was taxation without representation. How many ways is wrong? Too many too my mind.

I'd love to tell Mr. Clinton that what they did IS taxation without representation in it's most outlandish form!! Actually, I'd like to kick him right in his over plump ASS! That seems, to me anyway, the best way to give him a good concussion.

And surprise of surprises, he too still remembers that they CAN be voted out. I just hope he ain't shocked when it happens.

If we are allowed this year's vote. I expect some November "emergency" myself.

.

UPDATE:

I'm too stupid to live sometimes. I missed BJ's main point here, I think, until I went elsewhere and see that he is tying the Tea Party and OK City together!! I EFFED IT KIDS!

Here's the truth, I went to the Tea Party carrying. I made a point of STAYING ON the city sidewalk, NOT ON the State Capital grounds. You can't carry on state property, I remember my NC CCH rules. But I saw two or three others carrying too. Mostly the Harley riding crowd. But if I SAW three, how many did I NOT see?

IF the Tea Party wanted too, they could cause a hell of a lot of trouble. I don't know how many of Tea Party members and attendees are gun owners, or how many gun owners are Tea Party members, but I'll guarantee we've got more guns than the liberal SEIU pukes, the Center for American Progress Action Fund, the ACLU and the San Francisco Vegetarian Blow Job Fund, combined!

Foxes In The Hen House

I guess it should come as no surprise that the half-black Marxist radical in the Oval Office is quietly filling the government with other radical, anti-American Marxists. Obummer is simply following the guide set forth by his mentor, Saul Alinsky, on how best to destroy America, so that it can be rebuilt into the Marxist utopia they dream of. For those who haven't been paying attention, we're well on our way to that imaginary place. And, as you will see in this article, we had better not wait for Republicans to help us, since that party is officially DOA!

A couple of months ago, i posted an article by a long-serving, and highly regarded attorney serving in the Dept. of Justice. He complained about (and had proof of) the fact that hard-core Leftists were being appointed to the DOJ in positions of great power and influence. In fact, they forced him to retire because he objected to this massive, and all-powerful agency being controlled by, not the law, but a radical, Leftist, anti-American political agenda. This makes for a "very serious" threat to, not only our national security, but also to our fundamental belief in the laws of this country.

The true goings on at DOJ have of course, been kept out of the Leftist media. And unfortunately, the American people, being bombarded by dozens of major issues, from dozens of different directions, (straight out of the Aulinsky plan) have no clue as to what's taking place at "their" DOJ. I fear they'll only find out when it's too late, as usual...

Lest we forget

The anniverary of President Lincoln's assassination was April 14th.

Nobody is perfect, butI give him a thumbs up

I'm back......

Howdy all, sorry for the long, long, long absence. I know, it's been more than 6 months. And what a ride it has been.

Retirement was great for the first couple of months, till I found out both companies that had offered me fairly lucrative jobs did not get their contracts renewed. Of course they waited until the day before my final check from the Army. Thus I went on the job hunt. Working for the Census bureau was pretty good for about 6 weeks. Almost $200 and 250 miles per 5 hour day were almost worth it. I backed that up with a part time job at a tax service in which the franchise owner started my interview with "you realize that with an MBA you are way over qualified for this job" and to which I replied, "based on my current income and the economy, I'll take it."

As I sit here in Denver tonight, I am grateful for the flying job I was just offered. We will be moving closer to Snorphtyville when school gets out. So....any of you that really want to a free helicopter ride only have to get yourself seriously injured in the vicinity of Flagstaff...well, it won't be free, but I will be happy to fly you. Or....just come by and visit, it won't hurt as much.

So to all of my friends, and several of the new faces we have here.....Cheers.

And now it is time to go back to studying for my MA in History....Dang but I love going to school and learning stuff.

I haven't always agreed with Ed Koch. He's more liberal than I, but I always respected the fact that he is consistant in representing the people. He may not always represent my ideals, but that's not the point.

How DOES McCain keep his job?!

.
I'm never surprised at the lengths they'll go to in the Southwest, to get rid of illegal aliens. But I'm surprised that the people elect and re-elect Joe Arpaio, and John McCain. It seems odd, along those lines, that the same voters keep McCain AND elect a body who will do this.

Arizona Clears Strict Immigration Bill
.

Arizona lawmakers on Tuesday passed one of the toughest pieces of immigration-enforcement legislation in the country, which would make it a violation of state law to be in the U.S. without proper documentation.

It would also grant police the power to stop and verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being illegal.

The bill could still face a veto from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. A spokesman for Ms. Brewer said she has not publicly commented on the bill. Ms. Brewer, a Republican, has argued for stringent immigration laws.

Under the measure, passed Tuesday by Arizona's lower house, after being passed earlier by the state Senate, foreign nationals are required to carry proof of legal residency.

Immigrants' rights groups roundly criticized the bill. "The objective is to make life miserable for immigrants so that they leave the state," said Chris Newman, general counsel for the Los Angeles-based National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "The bill constitutes a complete disregard for the rights of nonwhites in Arizona. It effectively mandates racial profiling."

The bill's author, State Sen. Russell Pearce, was in a committee session Tuesday and couldn't be reached, his offices said. Mr. Pearce, a Republican, represents the city of Mesa, in Maricopa County, whose sheriff, Joe Arpaio, has gained a national reputation for his tough stance on immigration enforcement. A spokesman for Mr. Arpaio didn't return a request for comment.

The bill is different from an earlier version, giving protections for church and community organizations from criminal prosecution for transporting or harboring illegal immigrants.

.

McCain's views and the AZ Legislators seem to be 180 degrees out, yet both are elected by the same voters. Schizophrenia? And I'm torn on the church thing. Sorry, but a Catholic Church has been considered a Sanctuary for almost 2000 years, cutting across both time and countries and history. I'm skeptical of ANY law body removing that common idea. IMO, if the church wants them, let them LIVE in the Sanctuary, sleep, eat, learn, poop...all of it, but if they leave that edifice, arrest them.

.

The church has a rule too, render unto Caesar... Granted, it's a fine line, but it works most of the time.

The Return Of Sanity?

Thanks to the radical actions of the Marxist in the Oval Office, (and non-action on the part of the nitwit who sat there before him) many states are taking steps to regain the power and authority granted them, not the Fed, under the Constitution. And in places like Arizona, with some of it's largest cities right at the southern border, illegal immigration is at the very top of their list of priorities. And for very good reason. Did you know that according to FBI stats, Phoenix is "the kidnap capital of the world"? And 98% of it is attributed to illegal alien drug gangs. In fact, the beautiful city of Phoenix has literally become a war zone!

We've all read stories about Joe Arpaio, the tough, no-nonsense Sheriff of Maricopa County, AZ. We've also read stories about how those on the Left, from the WH down, have tried to stop Sheriff Joe simply because he's too good at his job, which is of course, enforcing the law and protecting the people who elected him. He's also been attacked by Marxist-backed groups who are advocates of illegals. Some of these groups advocate because they want to see America become just a northern suburb of Mexico where everything is free. Others, such as companies, labor unions, some so-called "religious" groups, etc., advocate because there's "tons" of money to be made by pimping for the illegals. Then there are the elected, lying crooks in congress, mostly Demoncrats, who don't see illegals, but only potential votes.

What the law abiding citizens of Phoenix have is a city that's far more lawless than any of the famous towns of the old wild west, in spite of Sheriff Joe's courageous actions. Now with this new law, perhaps the people can once again walk their streets in safety, unless of course, some judge decides they can't. We'll see...

Obama bows to the Chinese with deficit posturing ...

An Open Letter To America

"In one year, the American people are witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by President Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy who live to be taken care of. President Obama feeds these people poison, giving them the idea that they are entitled to take from the wealthier who have lived and worked in a democracy that understands that capitalism is the only truth that keeps a nation healthy and fed.

Now the lie goes very deep and President Obama has been cleverly trained in the Alinsky method and it would be very important that every American knows what that method is. It is a socialistic, Marxist teaching and with it, little by little, he rapes this nation, taking down our defenses, making new language for the Islamic extremists. The world looked up to us as a symbol of hope and prosperity now wonders what will become of the entire world if America is losing its power.

The American people who understand exactly what is taking place have come together in the tens-of-thousands, vowing to try to stay together as a unit of love and freedom for all men and women, of all colors, and from all walks of life, shivering to think that this once great nation will be a third world country.

This will be the first president to ever weaken the United States of America. President Obama uses his aggression and arrogance for his own agenda, against the will of the American people when he should be using his will and aggression against our enemies. Every loving American for peace and truth and the security of our nation must come out and join the Tea Parties in their states. The opposition will continue their tactics; they will lie and plant their own bullies amongst us. Everyone must pay close attention to who stands next to them. We can weed out the liars and agitators.

Let us all stay in Gods light. Let no man put asunder. We can and we will prevail. God bless us all!" — Jon Voight, April 10th, 2010

Only a handful states would start this movement.

.
Alaska?
.
Texas?
.
Florida?
.
Nope, Oklahoma is first. First at what? Forming an anti-Federal takeover militia. The article is important for two reasons. The first one is the fact of a militia, being set up by a state. To my knowledge, these went out of favor after WWI. I'll tell you below what the other one is, AFTER you read the article. See of you see, what I see.
.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Frustrated by recent political setbacks, tea party leaders and some conservative members of the Oklahoma Legislature say they would like to create a new volunteer militia to help defend against what they believe are improper federal infringements on state sovereignty.

Tea party movement leaders say they've discussed the idea with several supportive lawmakers and hope to get legislation next year to recognize a new volunteer force. They say the unit would not resemble militia groups that have been raided for allegedly plotting attacks on law enforcement officers.

"Is it scary? It sure is," said tea party leader Al Gerhart of Oklahoma City, who heads an umbrella group of tea party factions called the Oklahoma Constitutional Alliance. "But when do the states stop rolling over for the federal government?"

Thus far, the discussions have been exploratory. Even the proponents say they don't know how an armed force would be organized nor how a state-based militia could block federal mandates. Critics also asserted that the force could inflame extremism, and that the National Guard already provides for the state's military needs.

"Have they heard of the Oklahoma City bombing?" said Joseph Thai, a constitutional law professor at the University of Oklahoma. The state observes the 15th anniversary of the anti-government attack on Monday. Such actions could "throw fuel in the fire of radicals," he said.

.
An interesting article, I guess. But did you notice that Tea Party is NOT spelled using any caps? Hell they use caps when the print Crips, Bloods, Mafia, SEIU, Hells Angels, NAACP...especially that LAST one.
.
But it's "tea party", as IF it was a real tea party, with finger sandwiches and tea. THAT's done on purpose too, don't be fooled. And I just loved the comparison of the militia with the OK City bombers. Good job WAPO, defamation and discrimination in the same article.

George Soros IS the Devil.

.
Soros warns Europe of disintegration
.

The eurozone area and wider European Union is now “on the brink” of disintegration unless Germany steps up and provides loans at below-market rates to Greece, George Soros, the hedge fund manager, has warned.

“It is 50-50 whether the eurozone breaks up. The damage that break up would cause is so great, that I think that as people realise it, they will pull back from the brink,” Soros told the Financial Times in an interview. “But we are at the brink now...a solution has to be found in a matter of days.”

Mr Soros’s comments on the fringes of a conference in Cambridge came as Dominique Strauss Kahn, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund spoke of the fiscal challenges facing all advanced economies and the need for a European Budgetary Authority to underpin the euro.

“The launching of the euro was only a first step. You can’t have a single currency without having a more coordinated economic policy,” Mr Strauss Kahn said.

Before any longer-term solution can be found, Mr Soros insisted Germany must step up to the plate. “Greece is willing to take the steps and has taken steps which are necessary to get through this crisis. Now Europe has to do its part to help Greece through,” he said.

“Unfortunately there are problems with Germany because it does not want to be the deep pockets helping out the profligate southerners which got into trouble. [But] if that is the case, the euro is in danger and the European union is in danger. I just hope that Germany will be helpful.”

“Is there the political will to keep Europe together? If there is not I think that there will be a process of disintegration.”

.
Personally, it would help us AND Europe if they dissolved the EU. Both sides could abolish a zillion rules, regulations and nonsensical trade problems. Anyone who doesn't understand that Norway and Greece cannot operate under ONE set of farming and economic rules, is too stupid to be allowed to make the rules. George Soros is that man. And you can be sure, whether the EU stays or goes, he'll make money on it.
.
Oddly, when Soros makes money, it's not evil or tainted and there are no losers. An odd situation, for a hedge fund manager. A scheme that REQUIRES both winners and losers. I'm guessing that Ol' George has sitting over an empire designed to steal from rich Republicans and funnel the money to the poor, inner city, minorities who are invested in hedge funds.

Uh huh, and monkeys might fly outta my butt too.

What the...

.
Close but no banana at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. The results are in.

Mitt Romney - 438
.
Ron Paul - 437
.
Sarah Palin - 330
.
Newt Gingrich - 321
.
.
OK, so a slim majority of "Republicans" straw polled for Romney, the RINO. In point of fact, the slimmest possible majority. A single vote. To have seen him strutting, you'd have thought it was Mussolini or Hitler strutting. Chest out, head swiveling, arms pumping almost in military precision. I saw the video, with the sound turned down, as Mrs Schteveo was on the phone, and I am very effing polite, thank you very freakin' much! But after the video, I found this article.

He's strutting over a single vote win, in a straw poll? He's further out there than I thought.
.
But let us look right behind him. OK, he won the race. But given the current feelings in the country, he's got Secretariat, Citation and Whirlaway, on his heels. Those almost wons look like a good group for 2012. Almost any combination can go to the WH and Sec State to me.
.
It's not a Romney win if you read it right, because he really got beat 1088 to 438. Old school, Conservative Republicans vs Moderate, sweaty, gotta go, RINO's.
.
But I'm betting, Michael Steele, who is IMHO just a very senior level RINO, will back Romney, thus ensuring a lackluster comeback. Romney can't stand up to the Democrats, he's a "bridge builder". What we need is a name taker, ass kicker, bridge burning, boat renter!!
.
Paul, Palin, Jindal, Gingrich...almost anybody, but...NOT Romney. Hell, he's as wishy-washy as McCain. He was another "Republican" with an ALTERNATIVE plan for health care. That thinking is NOT good enough, it's not morally conservative enough, certainly not fiscally conservative enough if all he had was an alternative.

Gutless SELLOUTS of Congress, Retire!!

Yeah, it's a stretch, but it's dead on. And commies is commies, so the shoe is an expensive, but good, fit.
.
Yet another fellow traveler / Democrat who helped push the Health Care Bill through, is retiring. But knowing full well he's toast in November, Bart Stupak is quitting. When the going gets tough, the wimps get going and take a HUGE paycheck and better health care than we will get, with them.
.
Rep. Bart Stupak to retire, putting seat in play
.

Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who had a central role in the health reform fight as the leader of anti-abortion Democrats, plans to announce Friday that he will not run for reelection, a Democratic official said. Without Stupak on the ballot, the seat becomes an immediate pickup opportunity for Republicans.

"Now with health care done, he’s retiring," a friend said. "He has thought about retiring for the last three cycles, but was always talked into staying: to elect John Kerry to help end the war, to elect a Democratic majority to get health care done."

President Barack Obama called Stupak on Wednesday and asked him not to retire. Stupak, 58, also resisted entreaties from Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. John Dingell (D-Mich.), the dean of the Wolverine State delegation.

.

This, I thought, was just too precious.

Republicans immediately attributed Stupak's decision to step down as a direct consequence of his health care vote.

.
NO!! REALLY?!
.
I have no delusions that the nine people left in Michigan will vote for any Republicans. Most of those left are minorities, without a car, or a job, living on free cheese. They'll NOT vote for a NON-Democrat.

Yo, vatto, whurzs mah free sheet, I SAID, Ah wants mah free shit, hey BUDDY'ro, my mommer's got'sta cold, we needs halp, ain't that free nahoy!!?

.
And it starts,
.
Two weeks after President Barack Obama signed the big health care overhaul into law, Americans are struggling to understand how — and when — the sweeping measure will affect them.

Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors' offices, human resources departments and business groups.

"They're saying, 'Where do we get the free Obama care, and how do I sign up for that?' " said Carrie McLean, a licensed agent for eHealthInsurance.com. The California-based company sells coverage from 185 health insurance carriers in 50 states.

McLean said the call center had been inundated by uninsured consumers who were hoping that the overhaul would translate into instant, affordable coverage. That widespread misconception may have originated in part from distorted rhetoric about the legislation bubbling up from the hyper-partisan debate about it in Washington and some media outlets, such as when opponents denounced it as socialism.

"We tell them it's not free, that there are going to be things in place that help people who are low-income, but that ultimately most of that is not going to be taking place until 2014," McLean said.

Adults with pre-existing conditions are frustrated to learn that insurers won't have to cover them until 2014 (though those under 18 will be protected in late September); then they become both hopeful and confused upon learning that a federal high-risk pool for them will be established in the next few months.

.
...decided later, 2014, next September, decision boards, forms, agents, answers to come, decisions yet to be made... Yep, we're MUCH better off now.

Now Why Didn't We Think Of This?

What's the best way to rid ourselves of terrorism? Well, you can do what the fuzzy-brained Leftists usually do and simply change it's name, or just make believe it's not there! Apparently, that's what the Mooselamb Marxist in the WH believes. Thanks to our saviour, "there's no more Islamic radicalism"! Imagine being able to take a very real, world-wide threat that has slaughtered tens-of-thousands, and simply make it disappear? Man, that's what i call power!

In fact, this move allows His Majesty to fulfill a promise he made to his Mooselamb brothers, that we would no longer view them as terrorists. Instead, we'll build them schools, hospitals, houses, golf courses, and swimming pools, and he'll get the 325 million mindless fools he leads to pay for it all. And terrorism? Well, we'll just blame it on the Swedes.

Oh, and one more little change. From now on, we'll no longer be known as the U.S.A. Now it's just F.U.B.A.R. Yes, i know a lot of signs, posters, flags, and T-shirts will have to be changed, but it'll be worth it for the sake of accuracy...

We can no longer keep a secret

.
But we are surrounded by idiots, fools and weaklings.
.
And as the start of my proof, I offer the video LEAKED to WikiLeak this week. It's Pentagon video, from a U.S. helicopter, firing on civilians in Iraq. I have zero evidence of why, as is the case with WikiLeak and the idiot who leaked it to them. They've got not a whit of why. Is it a mistake in targetting, thought process, or intel? I don't have a clue. But that's not my point right now.
.
I heard, today, some college aged idiots in a burger place after my last posting, talking about how much better off we were, now that Obama says, "No Nukes!!" But that's not my point right now. Quite.
.
Idiot A says the above. Idiot B says, '...but Obama was going to stop the war, and I don't believe there ever were any weapons over there, it was all a BUSH HOAX and the military just wanted to go kill people."
.
[emphasis mine]
.
How is it, that Bush was SO stupid, as are his followers, and yet he manipulated a hoax so grand, that NO leaker can find proof? He conspired with people who blew up the WTC, stole 4 airplanes and killed thousands of people, yet NO leaker can find the proof? But I'm a fool for not seeing the hoax. He manipulated oil prices so he and Cheny could get richer, but NO leaker can find proof. They had the whole litany laid out there within earshot.
.
I'll admit it, I uncovered my pistol for these morons to see, knowing full well that they'd comment. And I was rewarded.
.
Idiot A, "...are we supposed to be afraid of your gun!?"
.
Me, "No, you're supposed to be glad I've got it, because if somebody walks in here to hold up this place, they might think twice when they see my pistol."

Idiot B, "I guess that would work, I wonder why these places don't do like banks and have a guard?"

Me, "...costs too much."

Idiot B, "...but shouldn't they be trying to keep the customers safe regardless of what it costs?"

Me,"But your lunch would cost more..."

Idiot A"...most people would pay it."

Me, "..so you're more worried about being robbed in here, more than being nuked into oblivion?"

Almost in unison, Idiots A & B"... that won't ever happen!!"
.
Me, "...you better hope not, because you guys without guns, will be begging for help from those of us, with guns, tents, food, radios, and all the know-how of basic survival. Your degrees will be useless when the world finally goes mad guys. But most of us will let you stay, in exchange for hard work, all your hard money or maybe just your women." And I left. (smiling)
.
I'll tell you what I believe will happen good friends.
.
If there's a collapse, or worse, some attack on the country, those two geniuses will not be ready, but they will be dangerous. As will the other idiots who agree with them, who think that Bush was a liar, who think that Obama is the answer and who think that we are currently headed into prosperity.
.
I have no secrets to leak, but [finally] here's my point. I have a plan, I am moving out of town, away from such fools as these liberal idiots. To a place where I have a clear field of fire to protect me and mine. I firmly believe things will get worse before they get better. Much worse. And the simple fact that many adult males in our society think SOMEONE else should protect them, but think those protectors are mind numbed, Bush following, murdering thugs who just love to kill, both concerns and disgusts me.
.
They want guards in the banks and McD's, but Obama in the WH and no nukes in play as a deterrent. And all the while, all I can do is wonder if they'd be better stewed, fried, grilled or made into jerky? Or if I'd just keep them to chop cotton? And what do their girlfriends look like? Who knows, after a collapse or war, even ugly girls might bring a good price on the open market, if they're healthy. After all, TANSTAAFL!

Because our Messiah has told the world that no matter what they do to us, we won't use our nuclear arsenal in retaliation. What a boob. In this spirit, I'm thinking of having a bunch of t-shirts, signs and stickers made that say,
.
"I am ARMED, however I will NOT be DEFENDING myself if robbed or attacked!!"
.
Maybe if I persuade evildoers around me that I won't hurt them BACK, they'll leave me alone, to start with. Isn't that the theory? Show them you're their friend and they'll like you? That's the way the Messiah sees it.
.
But if it's true NOW, why hasn't it worked that way before? We never attacked or belittled Saudi Arabia, or Japan, or Russia, or Germany, Spain, or even Mexico...hmmm. I'm stymied. Actually the ONLY country we ever harmed outright was England, and they're one of or staunchest friends now.
.
I'm obviously missing some nuanced point, because I'm just not smart enough to get it. I guess it's because I'm just a gun toting, right-wing, Christian, conservative, Limbaugh - Beckoid mindless robot follower. And yet, sometimes I still feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole.

Look, there goes a little girl with a blue dress!!! WAIT for MMMEEEEEE....

The Census

.
I filled out mine yesterday. It asked ONLY the questions that I was willing to answer. No one I've talked to had the "long form".
.
The questions on mine were the ones my wife and I found as "normal" when we were doing genealogy work a few years ago. Name, address, age, sex, race. In fact, I wonder if the whole "long form" issue was just hype.

FLASH!! GWB no longer to blame!!!

.
Instead, blame Ronald McDonald. No, I'm not kidding, but RM is just responsible for childhood obesity, Bush screwed everything else up. But it's a start at getting him freed of blame.
.
A coalition of health professionals, parents and corporate accountability advocates is calling for Ronald McDonald to retire as a spokesman for the nation's largest restaurant chain, saying he has too much influence on kids.

Corporate Accountability International, which has waged campaigns against bottled water companies and tobacco companies, said it plans to present the results of a survey Wednesday showing that most Americans agree.

The group will release the results at a lunch-time "retirement party" for Oak Brook-based McDonald's Chief Happiness Officer, a 50-year veteran of the company, at the McDonald's restaurant at Chicago Avenue and State Street in Chicago. The organization -- which was also behind the effort to retire Joe Camel from Camel cigarettes -- is inviting Chicagoans to sign retirement cards for the mascot at the McDonald's. The event is one of nearly two dozen similar ones to be held at McDonald's restaurants and colleges across the country that day, according to Corporate Accountability International spokesman Nick Guroff.
.
I'm guessing that somewhere in our vast country, Ronald is hijacking buses of school children, driving them to top secret burger input bases, and forcing the little darlings to pig out, at the point of a gun!?
.
No?
.
No, my experience is overly indulgent, weak willed parents who fear tantrums and scarred psyches if the diminutive sweety pies don't get everything they ask for. 'cause God FORBID you tell anyone under 30, "NO!", much less a child.
.
I'm old, and my memory is fading, but it seems to me that long ago, parents would tell children stupid stuff like, "...Johnnie, you can't just eat burgers and fries, it's not healthy", or maybe it was, "...but Janie, we had BK for lunch, just yesterday. Today we need a better lunch...", and there was always the popular, '..and if you say cheeseburger, french fries, coke, pizza, chili dog or chicken nugget again, I'll pull this car over and beat your ass, and you'll go to bed HUNGRY!!! GOT IT!!? We're going home to eat dinner, end of story!! Now sit there and shut...the...hell...UP! "
.
And I don't remember Ronald McDonald even being in the car. Odd that.
.
And I'm so sick of consortiums, confabs, groups for moral responsibility, citizens who know better than I do.com, et al, that I could puke. I wish these wheat grass eating, buffoons would just take their own advice and let people be.

...words fail me.

.
I tried to come up with a snappy title, but couldn't. Just read this for admitted confirmation of what we all knew.
.
"I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest..."
.
I'm certain that all the attackers were racist, homophobe, right-wing, Christian, conservative, Republicans. Probably militia wannabees too.

Surprised?

Question: What happens when a large group of mindless dupes, (a.k.a. voters) decides to put a totally inexperienced, unbelievably naive, arrogant nitwit in the Oval Office, who's only ambition is to further his Marxist dreams?

Well, one of the things that happens is that our many enemies around the world sit up and take notice. They know, far better than the brainless voters do, that having a know-nothing, Marxist Mooselamb, one with zero foreign policy knowledge and experience, sitting in the WH is a great opportunity.

Enter Vladimir Putin, the hard-core, old school, KGB agent. He's the guy who has managed to convince 5, or perhaps 6 people around the world (GWB being one of them) that he no longer runs and controls Russia. (LOL) Old Vlad is a very sharp-minded predator who knows weakness when he sees it. While Chairman Odumbo is talking to Russian "president" Medviev, (sp) old Vlad is down in South America forming a very tight circle around us. And since they're already Communists and Marxists, the WH isn't paying any attention because there's no one there to convert. I wonder how long it will be before we find out how Custer felt at the Little Bighorn...

The More The Merrier?

Last week, after yo president, Comrade Odumbo bent us over and deeply inserted his so-called health care scam, he made a comment about his next goal, immigration "reform", which of course is DC-speak for "amnesty". Everybody was so busy talking about what the lying crooks in congress had just done to us, that Odumbo's remark went mostly unnoticed. Keep in mind that to Demoncrats, every illegal who's turned into a legal is another vote.

Most rational people realize the Demoncrats will do everything they can to find some way to legalize the 30-40 Million illegals already here. There are Republicans in congress who say they won't allow it to happen. Aww, that's nice. Apparently, they believe they actually have something to say about it. Personally, knowing how these Marxists work, my thinking was that the WH will find some way to not only let the illegals stay, but to invite even more of them here, and doing it without bothering to ask anyone. So how would they do this? It's called, "political asylum".

Marxist minds never stop thinking, especially when there are tens-of-millions of potential votes to be had. That many votes would mean permanent political power for the Dems. I watched a constitutional law professor being interviewed today, and when he was asked about the possibility of this happening, he said, "Odumbo could do it with the stroke of a pen!" This could be the straw that breaks our backs...

Friday Funny

.
A Fireman came home from work one day and told his wife, "You know, we have a wonderful system at the fire station".

"BELL 1 rings and we all put on our jackets"

"BELL 2 rings and we all slide down the pole",

"BELL 3 rings and we're on the fire truck ready to go".

"From now on when I say BELL 1, I want you to strip naked. When I say BELL 2, I want you to jump in bed. And when I say BELL 3, We are going to make love all night."

The next night he came home from work and yelled, "BELL 1!", and his wife promptly took all her clothes off.

When he yelled, "BELL 2!", His wife jumped into bed.

When he yelled "BELL 3!", they began making love.

After a few minutes the wife yelled, "BELL 4!"

"What the hell is BELL 4?", asked the husband?

"ROLL OUT MORE HOSE", she replied, "YOU'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE FIRE!"

NOW the bailout was a bad idea?

.
This is why the current resident of the WH needs to be changed asap. They don't listen on the front end, and just blame the ethereal "them" on the back end.
.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said Thursday it's "deeply unfair" that some financial institutions that got taxpayer-paid bailouts are emerging in better shape from the recession than millions of ordinary Americans.

He acknowledged public outrage over that and said people watched with disdain as Washington protected high-risk banks and investment houses, even as the national unemployment rate was soaring to double-digit levels for the first time in a generation.

But in a nationally broadcast interview, Geithner also argued that President Obama had no choice when confronted with a financial crisis.

"As the president has said, we had to do some very unpopular things," Geithner said. "People looked at what had happened."

"It's not fair. It's deeply unfair," he said. "He (Obama) had to decide whether he was going to act to fix it or stand back ... and that would have been calamitous for the American economy."

The government eventually embarked on a program of assisting the threatened financial institutions, and the sweeping, multibillion-dollar Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) created as a bailout engine.

.
Yeah, I'd say bailing out the jerks who caused the problem was wrong too. Imagine the IMMEDIATE bounce back if the gub'ment had put half or a quarter of the TARP funds into the consumers hands. Even if half of us just put the money in the bank, it would have spurred the economy.
.
As it is, the companies that screwed up still exist in one form or another, and no jobs have been created outside the banks and gub'ment. Stupid is as stupid does.

Reality

No, this is not about Wyatt Earp's Tombstone. It's about Washington, DC, our nations capital. It's the place that has always ranked in the top 1 or 2 cities in the nation with the highest homicide rates. It is also the city that, up until very recently, had what was in fact, a total ban on guns. Problem was, that ban was aimed at law-abiding citizens who were simply trying to stay alive. Now, thanks to the recent Heller SCOTUS case, those citizens will now have the opportunity to protect themselves. Maybe.

Of course, as this story illustrates, those citizens must first learn to protect themselves from the corrupt, lying, crooks in congress, and the fuzzy-brained, starry-eyed liberal judges appointed by those corrupt liars. This story also shows something else. No matter how many hundreds of free government cheese hand-out programs the govt. invents, it doesn't change the basic nature of the locals. You can leave huge piles of fresh meat in the jungle every day, but you will not change the basic nature of the predators, nor will it make them any less dangerous...

BTW, i wonder how many White folks were involved in this incident. Hmmm...
