So what the hell do these conservatives want out of Obama? And does it matter if Obama throws some leaves on a tomb? -- David Corn

David, I will tell you what we want. We want a president who holds sacred certain beliefs and traditions that are the very essence of what we see as being an “American.” In a world of such political correctness where we are constantly ordered not to offend, we are the people who on this sacred day are offended beyond any ability to express, offended by our president’s actions, offended by your soulless mocking words. . ."throws some leaves on a tomb. . ." --William R. Forstchen

Now....there is precident that other Presidents have not been at Arlington on Memorial Day. In fact the last 3 republican presidents were absent during one Memorial Day during their administration. Of two, the President was meeting an international delegation and WORKING on the holiday.
For me, I think it has been about 9 years since I didn't work on Memorial Day, and this is the first time I actually get paid extra because I am working. It is specifically because today has turned into a "vacation" day that I don't care if I work or not, the meaning of the day has been lost on those who have reaped the benefits of those who sacrificed. It is especially irksome when I hear ungrates declare the mistaken belief that today is to honor all people who have died !!!???? Ok, sure. I don't really care, but don't declare them "American Heroes" simple because luck and happenstance placed their birthplace here instead of Kazakystan.

Anyway, my issue with the First Snob is that she seems to be rubbing it into the faces of so many people that her children are choosing where they go on vacation and that IT takes priority over the responsiblities of her husband.

I think of the past 25 years and all of the birthdays, baptisms, school plays, Christmases, anniversaries, vacations, school orchestra concerts, and weddings where my "RESPONSIBILITIES" took priority over what I or my family wanted to do.

Since 1980, the two "vacation" Memorial Days that a Republican president took, were AFTER he had accomplished something significant. To me, this president is further thumbing his nose at Americans by declaring that all of his bowing, kow towing, and American bashing has worn him out and he doesn't have the strength or energy to respect those who gave all so that he could declare to the world that their sacrifice means nothing.

Please forgive this "drunken" rant. To all of my brothers and sisters who serve, have served, will serve, or wish that they could have served but circumstances or health prevented it, I raise my glass. I savor the taste of freedom that the protected shall never taste and bow my head in gratitude that I could in some way be a part of the fraternity of the men and women we remember today epitomize.

The Modern meaning of Memorial Day

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/30/drastically-decreasing-military-presence-decide-iraq-war-memorials/

I find this interesting, and I am somewhat torn deciding what the right thing to do is.

On one hand, I think that leaving the memorials in Iraq can do two things. 1) remind the Iraqi's of the sacrifices made by others in their behalf and 2) be a poke in the eye to remind the Iraqi's of the sacrifices made by others in their behalf and they had better not (*&%()*&)& it up.

On the other hand, I wonder how many should actually be brought home. I think the wall in the hospital in Baghdad is the most deserving and historically worthy, and also the most impossible.

On the third hand (genetic defect due to exposure to depleted uranium tank rounds) There are probably a lot of families that don't know that there are streets and facilities named after their loved ones. They deserve to know how much their brothers and sisters loved and honored them. For those here, that don't know, no facility is named after a living service member.

Two short stories...if you will bare with me.

April 2002, near Metz, France: LTC H.R. McMaster, then commander of 1st Squadron, 4th US Cavalry, staged an officer staff ride studying battles from the Franco-Prussian war, WWI, and WWII. We stopped at a small field, exited the busses and proceeded to stand on the side of the road and had a short discussion of the 37 American Infantry soldiers who held off a German Battalion of Infantry and another Battalion of Armor for over 18 hours. 30 lost their lives.
A french woman came out and started yelling at us to get off of her property and leave them alone !!!???? We were standing on the country road, and didn't so much as the touch the fence overlooking the fields. None of us dared laugh till we were back on the busses, but it was hilarious to watch him respond, "Do you know why you get to speak French instead of German? Because 30 Americans died in that field!!!" then stormed off. --- As a CW2 I had the privelage to serve on his Squadron Staff. Something to know about that man. You either love him and would follow him into hell, or hate him so much that you wish he would go there immediately.

and due to 3 ATV accidents and a hit & run car accident, I don't remember what the other story I wanted to tell was....when I started this 6 hours ago. Maybe I can add to it later.

The greatest honor I can think of, and one that there probably are no pictures of and nobody outside the military will ever see is....on a Fallen Angel flight, when a soldier is taken from the theater hospital to the airport where his body will be flown home, every soldier available goes to the helipad and salutes as that soldiers body departs. Only one Angel is on each helicopter even if there are multiple casualties from the incident. It is an honorable and heart rending sight.

--- Update---
As I wrote the next post, I remembered the other story I wented to relate. In regards to the fraternity of arms, regardless of the side of the conflict, there is brotherhood.

May 2006- Baghdad, Iraq. 8 American soldiers, sailors, and airmen arrived at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Baghdad. (W33 18.505 N 44 23.339E on Google Earth) This tomb is dedicated to the dead of the Iran-Iraq War. Although the museum at the tomb had been vandalized and all of the artifacts removed, the tomb and casket itself is still there. Although the Iraqi military had been a shambles, some soldiers had taken it upon themselves to guard their fallen comrade. As the Americans arrived, the guards gave them a leary look and kept watch from afar. The soldiers walked up to the tomb then took position in line facing the tomb. The senior officer, an Air Force Colonel, called the group to attention, then all rendered a crisp hand salute to the fallen soldier from another war. Once the simple ceremony of recognition was complete, the group broke up and "toured" the facility. Where only moments before the leary guards wanted nothing to do with the Americans invading this sacred site, suddenly the three guards came up, and in broken English, wanted to show all that remained of the tomb and explain what the symbolism of each structure meant.

As I write this, I am reminded of even more stories of comradarie and respect shown by allies and adversaries that demonstrate that there is truly a brotherhood among warriors. They may hate the enemy formations, but no warrior hates an enemy soldier, they are simply brothers who happen to be standing in the other formation.

You can fool some of the people...

.
...all of the time. And you can fool all of the people some of the time. But if your name is Obama, you can act like a fool all of the time. But the other guys are pretty smart. If you're a foreign President or leader, you can get whatever you want from the fool, you just have to ask. Read on.
.
US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.

The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorized the deployment of up to 1,200 additional troops to border areas but State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, "It's not about immigration."

"They have a commitment to uphold the law on the American side and not to use the National Guard for immigration purposes or to deal with immigration issues," Calderon told a news conference in Ottawa after talks with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.


Oh really? Then why is this being done to offset the AZ Immigration Law? You don't have to be stupid to run the country, but it sure must help you sleep better. And BTW, since when do we defend our borders based on foreign requests?

Welcome To The Twilight Zone

City bus drivers in New York City (unionized) took an average of two months off last year, at full pay. They got paid to not come into work. Why? Because they "claimed" that they were spat upon by upset riders and this is considered an "assault" under the drivers' union contract. When a bus driver is spit upon they are then entitled to take a paid leave of absence. The unions claims that being spat upon causes "psychological trauma" because workers could catch diseases or risk being assaulted again. Bus drivers made up one-third of the transit workers who took time off because of "assaults." Last year, that was 83 drivers, who took an average of 64 paid days off. In one instance, a driver took 191 days of paid leave.

Is it any wonder why we are headed toward disaster? We have allowed these unions to grab local government by the throat and demand entitlements .. and the political hacks who run these governments fold like a map. After all .. the very same unions that demand these absurd work rules are very adept at getting the voters to the polls on election day. You get the picture.

And while we are on the subject of New York City .. here's another asinine occurrence unfolding there. A bill has surfaced in the New York legislature (introduced by two black activists) that would require New York City cops to shoot to wound, rather than shooting to kill. The bill is being called the "minimum force" law and it would amend the state penal codes' "justification" clause, which currently allows officers to kill suspects they believe pose a threat to his life or others. They would be mandated to "shoot a suspect in the arm or the leg." An innocent person is going to die when this absurdity becomes law.......... -- Neal Boortz

The above legislation has the full support of the Bloods and the Crips........... Spider

Mystery surrounds 26 headless chickens in North Pole
COOP: Bodies laid in a lollipop pattern, heads gone; three survived.
By JAMES HALPIN Published: May 25th, 2010 10:54 PM

Twenty-six chickens were mysteriously beheaded at a North Pole chicken coop this week. Then things got weird.

Troopers say they were called to a home on Sharon Road on Monday to a report of a mass chicken slaughter, with the carcasses laid out in a peculiar pattern on the ground.

The homeowners, who live in a semi-rural wooded neighborhood with large lots, had 29 white chickens in a backyard coop, said Trooper Ken Vanspronsen, who responded to the scene.

Sometime overnight Sunday, someone crept in and tore their heads off, but the homeowners told troopers they didn't hear anything unusual. They woke up Monday and went out to feed the chickens, when they discovered 26 of them dead.
~
There was no sign of the heads, trooper’s spokeswoman Megan Peters said. The carcasses had been laid out in a north-south pattern -- oriented with the coop -- in a roughly 12- to 15-foot line on the ground with a circular arrangement of corpses at one end, in something of a lollipop pattern.
~
I dunno – but possibly Santa’s Little Helpers are practicing witchcraft? Who else would arrange the headless fowl in a lollipop pattern, hmmm? I, of course, blame Obama. You have to admit, a headless chicken is a LOT like a progressive liberal (only smarter).

With the sincerest of apologies...

... i need to finish up a conversation i was having below in the comments section about private diability insurance and my personal experience with such. The main participant in the dicussion was Anonymous, who had some pretty basic misconceptions about the insurance industry as a whole, but more specifically disability insurance. Having a host of other things to do last week when he or she posted his response, I missed the last two comments by this person and wanted to finish the discussion.

As follows:

Are you getting government disability?
May 14, 2010 4:47 PM

Goober’s Reply…

No, I am not, and never did. I wasn’t interested in jumping through the hoops to get it – it is a pretty arduous and invasive process and I didn’t want the government to get that involved in my personal affairs. It wasn’t because of some personal vendetta against getting or receiving government "handouts", either, because in my opinion, I’ve been paying into the system for quite some time now, and would have no qualms in getting some of what I paid in back if it was justified. It was simply that going on the government roles basically required me to submit to being a ward of the State, after the enrollment period, which was way too much work to go through for 17,000 a year.



Anonymous said...
Can you explain why our host's (by "host" he means Steve - Goob) experience with private disability insurance wasn't as dreamy as yours?\

Goober Replied:

I am not prepared to speak for Steve on the matter, but as I recall from his detail of the story, he did not have private disability insurance at the time of his disability. Steve can correct me if I’m wrong, but I wouldn’t blame him if he just ignored this whole mess after all of the nastiness you’ve floated his way.

In my personal opinion, the government has no place in mandating that we all carry disability insurance - I'm not even sure that they carry that authority, but we shall see in the coming court challenges of the recent health insurance mandate whether the Supreme Court agrees with me or not. Therefore, I can see no way around having a government operated disability system that will provide for the basic needs of the disabled who were or are not able to do for themselves.

Unlike some others, I will not say that we should allow them to starve or become indigents because they became disabled. As a polite and civil society, we must take care of those who have become injured or ill while contributing to said society. So again, i see no way around having a government-operated disability system to provide for their basic needs while they are disabled.

However, I believe, at the risk of offending present company (with no offense meant whatsoever) that all responsible primary breadwinners for a family or individual should carry a disability policy to hedge against the disasterous effects a disability or illness can wreak upon a family. They are very inexpensive. My quarter-year debacle would not have impoverished my family had I not had the insurance, but it wouldn't have taken much longer for us to be in big trouble. The piece of mind having that insurance gave me helped me to recover more quickly.

Be Afraid. Be Very Afraid.

Afraid of what? Afraid of where our country is being taken. Last Saturday, the Marxist in Chief gave a speech to the graduating class at West Point. According to reports, it was one of the few times in recent memory that a presidential speech received such a tepid reception. Why would the famously patriotic cadets act that way? Maybe it's because Obummer pretty much told them that in "his vision of America", fighting soldiers will no longer be needed. All we'll need are talkers and political hacks. The commie in the Oval Office is getting us into some "very" deep water.

Obama told West Point's Class of 2010 that he sees them not battling our enemies but "combating a changing climate, sustaining global growth, and helping countries feed themselves, even as their citizens achieve their [universal rights]"

I'm sure those future warriors, all of whom will soon be going into combat, were thrilled to hear their "leader" tell them they're no longer needed. I'm also sure our enemies around the world were applauding loudly, since it means they have nothing to fear from us no matter what they do. This was the worst possible message to send at a time when we're fighting two wars, on two different fronts. Military historians and strategists will tell you that's not a smart idea. In WWII, the German army, possibly the best mechanized army ever assembled, was defeated mainly because their psycho leader insisted they simultaneously fight on two fronts. As Gen. George Patton said, it was their doom.

There is nothing that incites aggression faster than obvious weakness, unless it's a combination of weakness, incompetence, zero experience, and a stary-eyed Leftists view of the real world. North Korea's "open and obvious act of war" last week was not done to test S. Korea. It was done to test us, and because of the "community organizers" response, we failed the test. Do you know what happens when you show an aggressive dog fear? He bites you!

Wait, It's Gonna Get Better

As we all know, the good people of Arizona and their elected representatives recently passed a law that told the rest of the country, we are part of America, not Mexico! Apparently, the good folks of AZ. are tired of being used as targets for Mexico's killers, drug dealers, and kidnappers. And, since the Marxist government in DC, the Leftist MSM, and other illegal-lovers have decided to side with the above-mentioned Mexican criminals, Arizonans realized they were on their own, so they passed this law in an act of self defense. Are they paying a price for trying to protect themselves? Yes they are, but they are not just sitting there and taking it. They're fighting back.

With all the rhetoric about our illegal immigrant crisis, very few people ever mention what many feel is the root cause of the illegal invasion. Most say it's jobs, and to a small degree it is. But IMO, the real reason is a "law" passed by Demoncrats called, "The Anchor Baby Law", which says that anyone born in the US, even of parents who are here illegally, is an automatic citizen entitled to all the goodies America can offer. And it's not just the kid, but their entire family that get to cash in! This law is so insane, that we (as usual) are about the only country on earth dumb enough to have such a thing. But once again, the good Americans of AZ. are fighting back. If they succeed with this one, it may just prove to be the solution to the illegal invasion. And every real American should do whatever we can to help them. Below is a piece i borrowed from PIG. I hope you find it as interesting as i did...



"Does the name Russell Pearce sound familiar to you? It should. That is the name of the Arizona state senator who wrote Arizona's immigration enforcement law, SB 1070. As you can imagine, Pearce has been getting his share of hate mail .. I can relate. But in his response to citizens, Pearce has revealed that his immigration law-writing days aren't over just yet. He intends to push for another bill that would enable Arizona to no longer grant automatic citizenship to children of illegal immigrants who are born on US soil. In an email to a constituent, he says, "I also intend to push for an Arizona bill that would refuse to accept or issue a birth certificate that recognizes citizenship to those born to illegal aliens, unless one parent is a citizen."

Pearce argues that his idea is legal, constitutional and common sense. He says, "You can't break into someones country and then expect to be rewarded for that. You can't do it."

This absolutely the right step. They're called "anchor babies" because they're seen as anchoring the illegal parent in this country. As I understand it America may well be the only country .. or one of few .. that automatically confers citizenship upon children born to parents in this country illegally.".......... From The Free State of PIG...

stimulus waste in the name of the public good

http://liveshots.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/05/20/its-your-land-fighting-for-the-family-farm/

Ok, I did a little fuzzy math here to see the actual cost. I call it fuzzy because there are no variables, only hard numbers.....not what is normally used in today's government.

$8 million / (40 cars x 365 days) = $547.94 per car
small customs office required 4 personnel per day. Miniumum pay is $36,658/year (http://www.cbp.gov/)
Factoring a 260 day work year, averages to $140.45 per day x 4 pers = $561.81per day to build and run the office. / 40 cars = $14.04per car

Total cost $561.98 per vehicle per day.

The U.S. averages 660,000 non-commercial legal passenger border crossings per day. San Diego accounts for 104,399 per day. (notice I said legal crossings)
San Diego - 15.8%
Franklin, Vermont - 0.0006%

Franklin Vermont is 9 miles down county road 235, paralleling Interstate 89 or 7 miles down county road 118 to State highway 78. I estimate 400 man minutes or 6.5 man hours are saved per day by crossing at Franklin. At double minimum wage, $99.99 is saved by businesses every day by their employees being able to cross at Franklin.....this assumes that every crossing consists of people coming to and from work and none on vacation or visiting aunt Betty.

If San Diego had the relatively same expense, it would cost $5.9 million per day to operate the border crossing (with only 4 agents). That is $2.153 Billion per year for just that one ineffient crossing point! That is 22.6% of the national immigration and border budget!!! (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/rewrite/budget/fy2009/homeland.html)

So, the American people are expected to foot the bill of over $500 per car for 40 people to save 10 minutes on their shopping trip to the mall, which is more easily located by taking the Freeway in the first place.

Now lets look at the unemployment benefits that will be attained by employing 90 people for 6 months to build the facility......assuming less than half of the skilled labor required can be found in the local area and not imported, as well as assuming these people are formerly unemployed and changed status when the job starts...... aw, never mind.

Aside from the fact that this is a gross example of government domain running amock, can somebody please tell me how this is beneficial to the American people in any shape or form? How does spending that much money for no purpose truly help the economy 12 months from now? The article doesn't mention how much money can be saved by closing the checkpoint in Franklin. Eminant domain is supposed to be for the "greater good." It doesn't matter how I twist, mold, reflect, hold in my right hand and stand to the left, I can't make this one make sense in any way.

One of the Board Members of the AZ Utilities Commission has a simple answer to the Californians that want to boycott AZ over the new immigration law.

It's not, as many say, that the right hates Obama because of his half Negro blood. It's not even just as simple as his being from the "other team" politically. It's not as simple as, IMHO, he's just young and has no real life experiences or experience inside a ruling body.

In the midst of his youth and inexperience, his having surrounded himself with a crew of people that want the destruction of our country. This group, during the eight years of Bush's admin., were the ones who spoke for and provided legal council for the 9/11 hijackers, the Afghan and Iraqi War combatants, and they spoke against American self defense. And, seemingly, it continues.

Does America Have A Death Wish?

Is that a crazy question? I'm sure most rational people would think so, but is it really? So why is it then that we allow, in fact welcome, those who's only goal in life is our total annihilation, to live freely among us? Do we truly believe our "compassion" (see: weakness) will overcome their religious fanaticism? Let me put it another way. Suppose i asked you if you would welcome a person into your home, knowing that persons true intention was to kill you and your family. What would your answer be? And since your answer is obviously no, why is your home any different than your country?

No, i'm not talking about the 40+ million illegal Mexicans we've been invaded by. I'm talking about the Mooselambs we've allowed to come here and settle in. In fact, they have attained so much clout, that it's now almost illegal (certainly un-PC) to talk about radical Islam. I give you your communist Attorney General as a perfect example. At a congressional hearing the other day, he couldn't even bring himself to say the words, radical Islam when discussing terrorism! And obviously, his feelings are those of this Marxist (perhaps Mooselamb?) administration. Perhaps filling the DOJ with radical Leftist lawyers who have represented many terrorists has something to do with the AG's beliefs? Or, where they hired because of his beliefs.

Personally, i believe that under certain circumstances, and with certain types of enemies, the best place for them to be is close to you. It makes them easier to watch and learn from, and it allows you to strike faster. But radical Mooselambs are not that kind of enemy. To some of us, the only thing we've learned from our most dangerous and devoted enemy, is how weak we really are. Not very comforting when your life, and the lives of your loved ones and your country are at stake. If we continue to choose (not) to see our potential demise, then it won't be potential...

"Judge" Kagan is a done deal. But I didn't realize it's part of Obama's jobs bill. Iowahawk says she's being discriminated against elsewhere, and thus can only be a judge on SCOTUS.

But Supreme Court vacancies are only one area in public life where Harvard Assholes face a daunting glass ceiling. As hard as it is to imagine, anti-Harvard Asshole discrimination is even worse in America's non-lifetime appointment job sector. Harvard graduates regularly find themselves all but blackballed from participation in some of our society's most prestigious and highest-paying professions. One need only look at the curriculum vitae of America's country music singers, NBA all-stars, and lingerie supermodels to realize that entire swaths of society have hung out a de facto 'Harvard Assholes Need Not Apply' sign. The message from the Old Boys network may be transmitted in silence, but it comes through loud and clear: "You're good enough to run our FCC, Harvard boy, but not good enough for a hiphopper recording contract. We'll let you design our GM bailout plans, but don't even think about driving our Nascarmobiles."

Boycott Austin

Hello Ladies and boys –
I’m sorry to report that Austin (at least the City Council) has joined the ranks of felon-coddlers.

Lead by a progressive liberal (code for Marxist) council member by the name of Mike Martinez, the council “passed a resolution this morning aimed at ending business and travel ties to Arizona to protest a new state law that allows Arizona law enforcement officers to detain people they suspect are in the country illegally.”

In other words; they voted to coddle thugs, murderers, kidnappers, drug runners, sex slavers, thieves, vandals, exploiters of government services, and identity robbers. (But only if they are Mexican. Blacks and whites are still expected to be law abiding.)

At least until they reverse this travesty of justice, I say boycott Austin, and let them know why.

The Real War Is Right Here

While our brave warriors are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, while tens-of-thousands of our troops are stationed in places around the world where, not only are they not wanted, but they're not needed, "our" government is totally ignoring the real threat to "our" country's security and sovereignty. And, it's not just the Obummer administration. The previous nitwit in the Oval Office also had plans to turn us into Northern South America. If our brave warriors are going to fight and die, let them do it protecting their own country.

To show the "true" motives behind these pro-illegal organizations, below is a speech given not long ago at UCLA (of course) by a member of the "radical Marxist" organization, LaRaza. He is also (surprise, surprise) a high-school teacher in, of course, Mexifornia. If you live there, get out now!!


"I want to start off by saying that the young man who spoke a little while ago was one of my students. That made me so proud, because you know, our people have strong leaders for years and years to come. As a [Spanish] militant com barrio [ph] - a revolutionary Mexican organization here -- we understand what the comrade's [ph] saying. This is not just about Mexico. It is a global struggle against imperialism and capitalism.

But we know that all that is happening within the context of where we now stand -- this stolen, occupied Mexico. And the message that we bring is that we want to bring a little bit more of a revolutionary context to this. Why is it that these people, these frail, racist white people, want to keep us out of this country? It's not simply that it's the color of our skin. It's not simply that they want to exploit us. I'll tell you why. It's because on this planet right now, 6 billion people, at the forefront of the revolutionary movement -- is La Raza.

When you hear from our commandantes, Fidel Castro Ruz, Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, Brazil, Equador, you name it, we have nine, nine left-wing governments in Latin America right now. And they know something that one young Argentine, Che Guevara, said. It was called the domino theory. And he knew that every single country would go revolutionary, one after the other, after the other, after the other.

So what do they fear? They know that every single country, they know that we will no longer fall for these lies called borders. We know that an El Salvadoran, a Guatemalan, a Nicaraguan, an American -- there's no damn difference. We are all one people. So, with that in mind, we see ourselves, all of us here, as the northern front of a Latin American revolutionary movement..."

The Next Supreme

I wasn't going to bother talking about the new SC justice, since it's really a waste of time. Why? Because it's a done deal. She's the next justice of the SCOTUS. Period! Of course, if you know of someone who could stop her, please let me know. For those who haven't been paying attention, we now live under the rule of a one party political system, and that party sets the rules. This situation exists thanks to that group of intellectual giants, the American voters.

In spite of the disinformation being spread by the WH Obamunists and their media worshipers, Elena Kagan (who?) has never been a judge, and has rarely (if ever) battled in a court room. She is/has been the US Solicitor General, (whatever that is) which means she's a political hack picked by the Marxist in the WH. She comes from an elitist background and is a dedicated, life-long Leftist. And, she's a lesbian. Does any of this matter? Not in this country. Not any more. The upcoming congressional confirmation hearings are nothing more than a highly-orchestrated show designed to make all the lies being told about her, official. Opposition? Yeah, right! Who would oppose her? Even some of the progressive RINOS have already said, "she's a wonderful choice". You can consider those comments "voices from the dead", since they're coming from some of the progressive members of the DOA Republican party.

Her job will be to light a radical fire under the court's liberals. To push the court further and further to the Left. Some will say, well, it's just one liberal replacing another liberal. Nothing lost, nothing gained. Wrong! She will push the Leftist agenda like you've not seen before, and it's not just us, but future generations that will pay the price...

another week filled with joy

we start off this week with a trillion dollar bailout of greece. more money being flushed down the socialist toilet. the stock markets will get a bounce again. soon there will be no more hot air to fill all these balloons and the markets will come crashing down

and we have solicitor general elena kagan to be tapped for the supreme court. another position to be filled by someone with no experience, this time judicial. that didn't stop obama from being prez, so maybe it's just because she appears to have the same stylist as janet napolitano. and we all know what a fine choice she has been

and i haven't even had my first cup of coffee this week yet

Nazi's Invade Texas

No, that's not one of those weird headlines from the National Enquirer. In this case, and once again, i'm referring to the EduNazi's down there in Mexas. These are the Fascists who run the states indoctrination camps. (a.k.a. public schools) Normally, you would expect to see a story like this coming from places like Mexifornia, or The Peoples Republic of Oregon, or one of the pro-Communist states in the North East, but Mexas? Isn't that supposed to be the home of freedom-loving, liberty-loving, God-fearing, big government hating, red-blooded Americans?

Funny thing is, the EduNazi's running this camp, in their endless zeal to be the perfect PC'ists, insist they were simply following state law. (isn't that what Heinrich Himmler said at the Nuremberg trials?) In fact, if you read the law quoted in this article, they were actually violating that law, which was intended to control the food "schools" gave to kids, not what their "parents or other kids" give them. Kind of makes you wonder how the good people of Mexas, the few left who still speak English, would allow a school system like this to exist. Are they trying to become another NYC or San Francisco? Maybe i've been watching too many old westerns...

Tee Shirts and Flags

Why is this a problem?

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration for one small town in Mexico commemorating a military win over the French (already not that big a deal) not their Independence day! Basically the French were pissed off the Mexicans didn't pay back their debt so the French came in and did what they do best, which is to surrender.

So... a bunch of Mexicans some legal, some not so much, attending a HS in California, got pissed off their classmates wore American flag T-Shirts in America. The American students got suspended from school, whereas the Mexican students were portrayed as victims.

If these Mexicans are so desperate to come to the US for a better life, why is this playing out like this? Why do they hate their new country and embrace the country they were so desperate to leave? Why, in our own country, are these folks being given preferential treatment to resentful "immigrants" over citizens who love their country. Why is this not questioned....anywhere?

They Don't Sound Like Racists To Me

"The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles. Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.One man told of two illegals who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them.

Daily they listen to gun fire during the night. It is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch, nor can they leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border. Federal prisons have over 35% illegals and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegals. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement officers who have been killed or wounded were the victims of an illegal.

The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming. They are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run, and once they are here, we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been over a billion dollars. The health care cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, ($3.5 billion deficit) which forces us to make some very serious decisions. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop. The border can be secured. We have the technology and the ability to stop this invasion, we simply lack the will.

We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner, legally, so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under. I would give amnesty today to many, but we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them because that would simply encourage millions more to come and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be a United States of America, but a North American Union of open borders. I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the Central American or South American countries? We have already lost our language, since everything must now be printed in Spanish also. We have already lost our history since it is no longer taught in our schools. And we have lost our borders.

The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany. The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally. AZ's new law was an effort to try and stop illegals from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement (when there is probable cause), like a traffic stop, to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear, "if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times". That is the law. In Arizona, all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card, Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote, get a hunting license, etc.. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street etc.

The Socialists who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something, and the only thing the Socialists want us to do is just let them come. They want the "Transformation" to continue. Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free..."

9.9% Unemployment Rate, but that's good news!

.
"...and IF we pass the Porkulus Package, unemployment won't go above 7%? We promise, no take backs!!"
.
So much for THAT prediction, huh?
.
The American economy added 290,000 jobs in April, which was much better than expected despite temporary hiring for the 2010 U.S. Census. Excluding Census workers, 224,000 nonfarm jobs were created, with the unemployment rate edging up to 9.9% from 9.7%, the Labor Department reported Friday.
.
Now I'll openly admit to being a little slow with math. But IF you have an INCREASE of the OVERALL rate, did you really ADD jobs, or did you in fact LOSE jobs? Seems to me, you've lost jobs!

Remember the Neutron Bomb?

This was an atomic weapon being designed a few decades ago designed to kill people and leave all the structures intact. We haven't heard much about it in recent years, but it occurred to me the philosophy behind it is what is being used against us now. Whether it is terrorism, economic collapse, internal revolution (and I don't mean teabaggers), economic, etc., it amkes sense for these evildoers to keep the infrastructure intact. The object is to destroy us, but keep as much stuff as possible.

Aother Lesson Yet to Be Learned

You are familiar with the recent crisis in Europe due to the ash

The Ultimate Insult

Suppose you lost a loved one in NYC on 9/11, or, you're just an American who's really pissed at how easy it was to deliver the hardest blow this country has ever suffered. What do you think would be a fitting tribute to the 3000+ people who were murdered that day? How about a large plaque, or some grand statue, or a wall with the names of the murdered? Not good enough? How about building a brand new, 13 story tall mosque overlooking the scene of the crime where Mooselamb terrorists killed all those people? You think that sounds too nuts to be true? Remember, this is NYC we're talking about. And worse yet, it's Manhattan, home to most of the country's Leftists, Communists, and Marxists.

No guys, this is not some cruel, insane joke i made up. It's true, and it's gonna happen because some of the local commies have already given this project their official blessing. In fact, this tribute to the Mooselambs will be finished long before that massive, and still-empty hole in the ground, the one where the WTC used to stand, is ever filled. IMO, this huge building, this monument to terrorism, will tell the world several things about us, things that most of the world already knows.

1. That obviously, we weren't hit hard enough to make us wake up.

2. That we would construct a tribute to the killers instead of the victims.

3. That we are in fact, a nation of weak, mindless, sheep who care more about being compassionate and tolerant than we care about our country and our own lives.

Back in Jan. of '09, while watching the Marxist being sworn into office, (i had already done some background research on him, so i knew what he was) and seeing that he would also have the entire congress to do his bidding, i said something to myself that i never dreamed i would say. I said, for the first time in my life, i was ashamed to be an American. It was not based on his race, (or half his race) but his ideology. I knew where he would take us. It hurts me to say that, unfortunately, i was right. And now this. I was born and raised in NYC, but because of the politics here, it's been a long time since i could say that with pride. Now, as long as this building stands, i'll never be able to say it again...

Who's economy is booming?

.
Nobody's. And now I'm seeing that China is about to have a bad spell.
.
I'm no economist, so please will one of you college edge-yu-mah-cated types tell, what generally happens when the guy holding your notes is short of money? Does he pressure you for the money? Does he just back off, and take his lumps? Or, given that he's actually an outright enemy, will he set about destroying you, economically, without firing a shot?!
.
This is yet another reason I'm moving to the boonies. I want to be out of town when what's left of my money becomes totally worthless. I'll have some food and some gold coins. Gold is never worthless.

I Do

Yesterday, i posted an article about the Times Square wannabe bomber. One of the questions i asked was, why was he allowed to become a US citizen. This story doesn't answer the why, but the how.

It's been an open secret for many, many years, that one of the easiest ways to get into this country, and stay here, (aside from getting knocked-up and sneaking across the border) is by marrying a US citizen. For the most part, this is a tactic that's been used by foreign women who see it as a fast track to an easy life. In fact, here in Brooklyn, NY, where we have the largest population of Russian immigrants in the country, it's a favorite among Russian women. They'll find an older guy, especially one with money, shake their butts, and the rest is handled by nature. The outcome is usually not pretty, but very expensive for the guy. But now that we've finally realized we're at war with the most radical and dangerous enemy we've ever faced, this little scam has taken on a whole new, and far more dangerous, meaning.

While everyone is talking about our southern border, and the governments imaginary efforts to secure it, no one has been paying attention to all the "legal" ways people are getting in. And obviously, they don't always come here with the best intentions. This is something never mentioned when discussing so-called immigration reform.

The fact is, America is under siege. We are being invaded by many people, from many different directions, and in many different ways, and not all those ways are "illegal". Our immigration policy, including the infamous anchor-baby law, was, for the most part, created by leftist Demoncrats who don't see people or their true intentions, but only potential votes. If these laws and policies are not dramatically changed in a way that they start to protect this country and it's people, there's no need for border security, or for borders at all. We "desperately" need to wake up...

Welcome To Amerika

Now that there's more info coming out about NYC's "almost-bomber", it seems he's a terrorist trained in Pakistan by the Taliban. It's also obvious he missed a few of his classes, since my granddaughter could've put together a better bomb. It was also reported this morning that "an un-named White House source" said federal authorities were watching this nitwit, something i don't believe. Had they been watching him, they would've pounced on him 20 seconds after he left that SUV. But the statement does allow the WH to create the (false) impression that Odumbo's people were right on top of the situation. It's also been reported that the terrorist was granted American citizenship just last year. Why? And, were they watching him then?

Most Americans like to think, (mostly because that's what they've been told to think by the Left) that this country is a "beacon of freedom" to the people of the world. That people come here to be free, which is kind of weird, since many of us who were born here aren't feeling so free any more. I'm sure the terrorist was told to come to America because, "America is a warm, generous, and welcoming country, who's people will welcome you with compassion and open arms." To most of the worlds people, that translates to, they are weak and stupid.

I wonder how many Americans feel that being compassionate and welcoming to foreigners is more important than staying alive. I'll bet you that it's a lot more than one...

I'M AMAZED...and Bloomie is an @$$hole!!

Does the name Faisal Shahzad ring a bell?

Well it will before THIS day is out. Shahzad is the NYC, Times Square [idiot] bomber.
.
RADICAL MUSLIM, ISLAMIST RADICAL, WAHABIST, FOLLOWER OF AQ TACTICS, CALIPHATE WANTER!! Words I never heard, through all this. Why not? Because we so revere and love the misunderstood people in the M. E., of Arab / Islamic bent, that we would NEVER want to insult them.
.
However, NYC's idiot mayor said he'd bet a quarter, that it was a mentally deranged person, OR someone at odds with Barry and his policies. Katie Cutiepie and all the humps at CNN, said Tea Bagger!! Screw them. And after all, why NOT insult Citizens of the U.S., tax payers, people born and raised here. No one will ever know we're insulted or mad as hell, because CNN, the Big 3, PMSNBC or Bloomberg TV, won't show even one of us screaming at the lefty journalists for their accusations!

And BTW, before I go back to taking care of my home and family...HEY, Mayor Dumbass, FUCK OFF, you lying jerk!!

Watching Fox News, Judge Napolitano says send him to a military tribunal, don't Mirandize him. Glenn Beck says use the Constitution. Treason gets the death penalty. Judge N says, charge him with mayhem, or some such lesser charge, that WILL stick, that gets him life, no possibility of parole. GB, says, go for treason, plain and simple. I say sweat every ounce of intel out over the next 72 hours, read him, judge him, shoot him, by...Friday or Saturday. Let Allah sort it out.

NYC Bomb Scare!!

Yeah, scare is the word alright. It scares the fecal matter out of me, to think that we live in a world where the lack of conscience is so blatant. Human life is cared for less than plastic water bottles and soda cans!!

Last night, as with many nights, I was in and out of bed and wandering around, trying to sleep. I had the tube on and off several times. I first heard this story about 10:30 PM last night. It was around 2:15 when I heard the word...MILITIA...the first time.
.
It's a little after 9:00 AM, I've yet to here the words...Islamic...extremist...foreign...enemy...which seems odd to me. I'm guessing two propane tanks, fireworks, 10 gallons of gas and a timer were a gift, given with love to the people of NYC and those in Times Square?

One last thought, gird your loins if this was (a) white guy(s). But here's a final, final thought. Could it be Puerto Rican anti-state people? They've got an axe to grind. Again.
