And Now, The Reality

Despite the absurd ruling by turncoat Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Junta, the individual mandate is a power grab, not a tax — not that there is any shortage of taxes in ObamaCare, as Americans for Tax Reform documents:

1. Excise tax on charitable hospitals ($50,000 per hospital hike).
2. Codification of the “economic substance doctrine” ($4.5 billion tax hike).
3. “Black liquor” tax hike ($23.6 billion hike).
4. Tax on innovator drug companies ($2.3 billion).
5. Blue Cross/Blue Shield tax hike ($400 million).
6. Tax on indoor tanning services ($2.7 billion).
7. Medicine cabinet tax ($5 billion).
8. HSA withdrawal tax hike ($1.4 billion).
9. Employer reporting of insurance on W2.
10. Surtax on investment income ($123 billion).
11. Hike in Medicare payroll tax ($86.8 billion).
12. Tax on medical device manufacturers ($20 billion).
13. Raise haircut for medical itemized deduction ($15.2 billion).
14. Special needs kids tax ($13 billion).
15. Elimination of tax deduction for employer-provided retirement Rx drug coverage.
16. Annual executive compensation limit for health insurance executives ($600 million).
17. Individual mandate excise “tax”.
18. Employer mandate tax.
19. Tax on health insurers ($60.1 billion).
20. Excise tax on comprehensive health insurance plans ($32 billion).

In return for all the $billions upon $billions being looted from us, we get to watch vast armies of petty tyrant bureaucrats cut us off from our healthcare system.
Ramming ObamaCare down the country’s throat despite mass public resistance is the Manchurian Moonbat’s only achievement of any significance whatsoever. He ran on the incessantly repeated promise that he would not raise taxes “one dime” on 98% of Americans. That is, he ran on a brazen lie. Yet there are people who would vote for him again...

Borrowed from Moonbattery...

What Do We Have Here?

Is the friend of our enemy still our friend?

Last week, Vladimir Putin, Russia's president-for-life, (apparently )  had a serious sit-down with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. It seems the old, and hard-core, communist KGB agent wants the Israeli's to back-off their plans to attack Iran, using America's highly misguided adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan as examples of what happens when you go to war without thinking first. A "very good" point, IMO. Of course, you can bet keeping Israel on a leash will be a benefit to, not only Russia, but more importantly, to the old KGB spy.

Putin, if you recall, is the same guy GWB sat next to in the WH. That was the day GWB said, "i've looked into his eyes and this is a man i can trust ". It was like a dumb fly giving praise to a very hungry spider. When it comes to being cunning and deceitful, neither GWNitwit, nor the current moron in the Oval Office, are any match for the wily old spy. 

Could our long-time friends and allies be getting tired of being insulted, ignored, and slapped in the face by the Marxist in the Oval Office, who quite clearly favors his Mooselamb brothers in the middle east? And, if the Israeli's do decide to change friends, who does that leave us with in the area, other than the Mooselamb Brotherhood, the radical group of terrorists Obummer has been clearing a path for?

Isn't it truly amazing the damage that can be done by weak, gullible, and mindless voters?

Going "Postal"? At The Very Least!

Hopefully, none of us will ever find ourselves in this woman's position. But what if, God forbid, you did? How would you respond? It's stories like this one that can help you understand how some guy can calmly walk into a City agency and go "postal" on everybody in sight, which is exactly what i'd do...

Of The People, By The People, For The People? LOL!!

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men..." --- Lord John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton

So, what if someone told you, "there is no part of government, "your" govt., be it local, state, or federal, that is free of corruption" ? Would that shock or even surprise you? I wonder how many people truly realize that we live under a system of govt. that is based on lies and corruption, and without the lies and corruption, it would all collapse tomorrow. I also wonder how many people are just too frightened to think about it, since acknowledging it would require us to admit we're living in a house of cards, in the middle of a tornado. Is our political system just a big joke, with We The People as the punch line? While those in power always seem to be happy, (except for those in handcuffs) why aren't We The People also happy?

We're living in a time when the very principles our great country was founded on are routinely ignored, mocked, and challenged in a courtroom somewhere, and more often than not, our fate is then decided by some political hack in a robe, usually ignoring what We The People have said. (Prop-8 in Mexifornia?) Politically speaking, do we even matter anymore?

If the answer to that last question is no, we have no one to blame but ourselves...

Let 'em Eat Cake

Yesterday, it was 102 degrees in NYC. And with the high humidity, it felt like 122. Today, they're saying it's going even higher. I've spent many July's in southern FL., and it almost never gets this hot or uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, for NYC kids, they still have to attend the city's indoctrination centers. (ie: public schools) They have a couple of weeks left. Right now, they're busy taking exams to see if they know their rights when caught with an illegal gun, and also how to reach their lawyers when they get arrested. Most do. But those poor kids are sitting in classrooms that are a lot hotter than the 102 that's outside. According to NYC's Dept. of Education, only 64% of our schools have air conditioning. Of course, 100% of the teachers lounges have AC. The city did not make public the number of kids, if any, who were overcome by the heat yesterday. That wouldn't make for good PR for the limp-wristed little tyrant who runs NYC.

You see, His Majesty Bloomberg doesn't really care if the kids are dropping dead from the heat. But, let just one of those kids reach for a cold soda to cool off, and His Majesty would unleash his Gestapo. I'd be willing to bet the AC was blowing real cold in all of His Majesty's "11" homes, and also on his private 727. I also know for a fact that in His Majesty's City Hall office, you could hang meat on a day like this. Apparently, this is what socialists mean by, equality...

Committing National Suicide

I have always been of the opinion that if there's one thing that will eventually destroy us as a nation, it will be our insane, irrational, and completely unsustainable immigration policy, a policy that was, for the most part, created by, and continues to be sustained by, Leftist Demoncrats. You see, Demoncrats don't see illegals draining us. All they see are future votes. And the fact that the Marxist-in-Chief and his campaign are bending over backwards to allow illegals to vote this Nov. is clear proof. That is the reason the Left is fighting so hard to defeat any attempt to require people to show a valid ID in order to vote. With 20-40 Million illegals in the country, it's a huge prize to fight for.

The linked story is a small indication of how our incredibly lax policies are allowing millions of illegals to infest our country. Once here, they simply disappear into the nation and start collecting everything our highly misguided sense of compassion makes available to them.

This particular case involves New Mexico, but spreads all the way across the country. And, as is the case in most of our southern states, the names of State officials would indicate that perhaps it shouldn't be called "New" Mexico, but simply Mexico, as most of those areas no longer even resemble the US. Note how the Spanish official in NM's Taxation and Revenue Dept. can only find 164 cases of driver license fraud, out of "92,000" issued to foreigners.

I wonder if there's enough time left for us to wake up...

Selling your medals????

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/06/20/army-vet-sells-achievement-medal-on-ebay-to-support-family/?test=latestnews

Ok, after reading the article, it isn't such a bad thing, heart wrenching maybe, but that is about it.   The guy put an Army Achievement Medal (AAM) up for auction on Ebay because he needed the money.

The good side, people are helping the guy out, not necessarily by buying the medal (with the highest bid at over $3,000)  but buy providing food, clothing, and possibly a job.  These came via the noteriety of selling the medal.

the kookie side....3 grand for the lowest medal for achievement that the army has.  The only award for achievement that is lower, other than "I was there" medals is the "I was enlisted for 3 years and never got a DUI medal" also known as the Good Conduct medal.   I was awarded 3 AAM's, yes three,  on the same day back when I was a young PFC, albeit for different events.  Usually they are awarded as an impact award.  In comparison, I was awarded an Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM), which is the next higher award, for being top gun in my squadron after a semi-annual aerial gunnery. 

To top it off, the article shows the certificate that goes with the medal, then shows a GWOT (Global War on Terrorism Service medal--an "I was there" medal). 

for only $17.75 you can own your own AAM  http://www.usamilitarymedals.com/army-medals-army-achievement-medal-c-2069_1542_17.html if you order it on line.   Or go to your local military clothing sales (ok, maybe not so local) and you can buy it for $9.

Good thing is the guy is getting some help for his family.

I am just flabbergasted that people would actually bid on something like it, and then put that much money into it.  $3,000!!!!   I've got 12.  and 5 ARCOMs, and 3 MSMs and a Bronze Star. I could be a millionaire!!!! I wonder what they would pay for an Army Service Ribbon....it cost me 55 cents, do you think it would be worth at least a dollar, plus $5.95 shipping and handling.

Is The End In Sight?

Today, while watching the House panel on the growing "Fast and Furious" scandal, i thought i could hear, off in the distance, the sound of the Marxist-in-Chief's administration starting to crumble. Things are getting so hot that for the first time in over a year, the pro-Obummer, Leftist MSM, is being forced to cover this highly explosive story, albeit not fairly, accurately, or truthfully.

One thing is quite obvious. Somebody in this administration has something really bad to hide. It must be so bad, that they are willing to go to war with the congress, out in the open, and in front of the American people. And, just five short months away from the prize they lust after most. A second term.

Aside from being happy to see the AG squirming while being asked questions he couldn't/wouldn't answer, i was also happy to see some of the Republicans on that panel who actually showed their teeth. (ie: some balls) It was very refreshing. Was it honest? Will they stick to their guns and go after the AG, (and IMO, the POTUS soon to follow) like the Left went after Nixon, or will they remember they're politicians and look to make some secret deal and slink-off to a dark office somewhere. We'll see. But, watching elected lying crooks sweat sure beats watching reruns of Storage Wars...

Public Service Announcement

Obama following the Egyptian Constitutional Court's lead!

That's right, he's dissolving Congress and just making law whenever he wants!!!
.
The Obama administration announced Friday it will stop deporting illegal immigrants who come to the country at a young age.

The politically charged decision comes as Obama faces a tough reelection fight against Republican Mitt Romney, with Hispanic voters in swing states seen as a key bloc.

Obama is set to make a statement at 1:15 p.m. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced the new policy Friday morning.

“Young people who were brought to the United States through no fault of their own as children, who meet several key criteria, will no longer be removed from the country or entered into removal proceedings,” said Napolitano in a conference call with reporters on Friday morning.

“This grant of deferred action is not immunity, it is not amnesty, it is an exercise of discretion so that these young people are not in the removal system," she said. "It will help us continue to streamline immigration enforcement, ensure that resources are not spent pursuing the removal of low priority cases involving productive young people."

The new policy will not grant citizenship to children who came to the United States as illegal immigrants, but will remove the threat of deportation and grant them the right to work in the United States.
.
Personally I wish my parents had robbed a bank and gotten a few million dollars.  I'd be in the clear to spend it, because THEY broke the law, not me right?  And he can't seriously think the Republicans or SCOTUS will let him side step immigration laws, is he that crazy?

What am I asking.  OF COURSE he's that crazy!

Man of the People sticks the People with the Tab! Twice in three days!!

So our idiot POTUS is on the Campaign Trail. 

Again. 

No, not again, STILL, and that Campaign Trail has been pounding on now for the 64th month in a row for those of us who are counting.  But The Man of the People tops his arrogance this week I think.  Who knew THAT was even possible?!
.
Anyway, last night he attended some big shot NYC Fund Raiser at the Home of Sarah Jessica Parker & Matthew Broderick who is her husband.  Broderick was [here's the line used in two places this morning] 'noticeably absent'.  Yes he was absent, because he was WORKING on Broadway!  I'm guessing it was a pricey night for him at home, if he had to pay for food for these caviar and champagne sucking clowns.

 But they did raise $4.5 M for Obumble's ongoing campaign!  But here's how WE got stuck for his travel expenses. Obumble dropped by the WTC Site to look around, and as we all know, he only did it to stick us with his travel tab!

Not paying the tab was the theme for campaigning this week I think; and here's why I say that..
.
Earlier this week, he had an Early Father's Day lunch at Kenny's BBQ in D.C., The One and his ENTIRE retinue of slobbering psycophants 'forgot' to pay for lunch!  Now I ask you, how can half a dozen grown ADULTS eat lunch and 'forget' to pay for the food?!  By using the word adults I probably answered my own question. 

But it also underscores a huge problem with this entire Administration and the majority of Liberal Democrats and how they think and vote.  They think somebody else should pay!  And it doesn't matter who 'somebody' is, just so long as it's NOT them.  And that's why they've got to go in November.

I'm Pro Pot, but STILL Anti-Obama!

Bush's plan to use gay marriage bans -- in states that did not actually allow gay marriage -- as a turnout booster led to signs featuring icky public restroom symbols proliferated and liberal panic that the Christian right had taken over. The press obsessed over "values voters." One of Bush's aides, Ken Mehlman, who later came out as gay himself, has apologized for the strategy, two others say it didn't work.

This year there's another incumbent president with modest approval ratings who could turn out his base with controversial ballot measures. But this time, the issue features no biblical or scatological imagery. In 2012, voters in swing states will decide whether they'll allow their fellow citizens to bear joints. Unlike the gay marriage votes, there's no indication that Obama's re-election team is behind any of the pot legalization initiatives, but there are Democrats who are hoping that it will boost turnout among weed's biggest fans: young people.

Getting more young people to vote has long been a Democratic fantasy, since they tend to vote so heavily Democratic. But past attempts to bong the vote have been disappointing, in part because stoners aren't the group anyone would most count on to bother filling out a ballot. Ahead of the 2010 midterms, The Wall Street Journal ran the story, "Democrats Look to Cultivate Pot Vote in 2012," noting that California's pot-legalizing Proposition 19 was being studied to see if similar measures "could energize young, liberal voters in swing states for the 2012 presidential election." But exit polls that year showed no spike in young voter turnout, and marijuana legalization was the top issue for just 1 in 10 voters, the Los Angeles Times reported. (Also: Californians ended up voting down Prop. 19.) Still, there were hopeful signs: 64 percent of voters 18-to-24 supported it, and 52 percent of voters 25-to-29 did. In March, the pro-legalization site Just Say Now suggested that the presidential election will draw more young people to the polls, and they'll vote for pot legalization while they're there.

 That being said, several have argued that this cold be the year for pro-marijuana turnout. After all, 2011 was the first year more young people smoked pot than cigarettes, the CDC says. There is a marijuana initiative on the ballot in Washington, and there might be one in Nebraska and Massachusetts, but those states are pretty solid for one party or the other.
.
In my opinion this is proof of their desperation.  After having some sort of turn out the vote routine every 4 years for 5 or 6 election cycles, you'd think they'd see what we do.  IT DOESN'T WORK! 
.
But this does achieve something else IMO.  It get's this issue WAY out front for the future.  As a Libertarian thinker on matters of personal choice, we NEED to decriminalize marijuana.  Our jails are filled and many people are there for stupidly small amounts of pot.  If nothing else, we can free up jail space by legalizing the weed.  And then there's the added dual incentive of GETTING tax revenue from marijuana sales and we QUIT spending money on interdiction of people who are smoking pot.

Does this solve ALL the drug problems?  No, but it sure as hell starts the ball rolling on eliminating 80 years of laws based on lies and personal opinions instead of science and intelligence.

The Private Sector is FINE.

The net worth of the American family has fallen to its lowest level in two decades, according to government data released Monday, driven by a more than 40 percent drop in their stakes in their homes.

The Federal Reserve’s detailed survey of consumer finances showed families’ median wealth plunged from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010 — a 39 percent decline. That put them on par with median wealth in 1992. 

The Fed’s data underscore the depth of the wounds of the Great Recession and how far many families remain from healing. The median value of Americans’ debt did not change between 2007 and 2010. Meanwhile, the housing market crash inflicted particularly severe damage, with the Fed showing that the median value of Americans’ equity in their homes plunged 42.3 percent between 2007 and 2010.

It's Official: Patriotism Is "Offensive"

Yes, it's official. It's official because the affirmative action baby who is the principle of a public school on Coney Island says so. And, because the always Left-wing NYC Dept. of Education, which is basically a subsidiary of the teachers union, agrees with her. "God Bless The USA"? Hey, we can't have any of that. This is such an obvious insult, not only to America, but to the tax-paying fools who pay her salary. And, as usual, the union will fight to protect her.

Coney Island, once known as America's play land, and where i worked in the late 60's to late 70's, was about 85% black back then. And, it was a "very" tough place! More like some wild west town in a cowboy movie. Now, Coney Island is far more peaceful. It's home to an assortment of immigrants, most of whom, unlike this principle, are apparently grateful for being in America.

Can you imagine what foreigners must think when they see something like this? I wonder if they see it as American freedom, or American weakness?

Where IS my Dictionary!?

If you saw an article that said,

Stuyvesant HS students hold 'Slutty Wednesday' to protest school’s strict dress code policy

wouldn't you assume that they were talking Paris Hilton / Lindsay Lohan w/o panties, boobs hanging out, dressed like something from a Little John video?  Check out the picture.

They look like they're headed to the woods for a hike!  How good an education are they getting, if they think THIS is slutty?

Anyway, read on.

Nearly 100 smarties at the city’s top-performing high school bared their bodies in “risque” outfits yesterday to denounce their school’s conservative dress code — which bans the exposure of shoulders, midriffs, lower backs, bras and undies.

Stuyvesant HS students held the so-called “Slutty Wednesday” protest after girls got fed up with being told throughout the year that their short skirts and sleeveless tops made them more fit for a club dance floor than for a seat at the best public school in town.
Boys in tank tops complained that the administration’s apparent emphasis on keeping the girls well-covered was not only biased, but it also maligned the guys as horny teens who can’t control themselves when they see too much skin.


“We work our asses off here, and school is about learning. Clothing is not important,” said ninth-grader Lucy Greider, who said she has been sent to the office 10 times this school year for showing off too much cleavage, midriff or shoulder.
“Sometimes, the teachers will call you out in the hallway, [but] I like what I wear. I want to have my own style in school,” she added. “A lot of the classrooms don’t have a/c’s and when it is 80 degrees outside and it is really hot, it’s perfectly OK to show a little skin.”
The dress code, which was introduced in the fall, bars students from donning tops with text or images in bad taste.

Shorts, dresses and skirts are not permitted to end above the fingertips when students extend their arms down at their sides.

I'm guessing the liberal goofball, permissive attitude is in full effect, and now that oit's biting the hyper-liberal teachers they don't like it?  Aww, I feel for them.And where, he asked smirking, are the PARENTS of these hyper-opinionated tarts!?  Or is there no longer a parent anywhere allowed to speak harshly to idiot high school slutty chicks?

If my NINTH-GRADE daughter was 'quoted in the Times' as saying "work our asses off", her's would be too sore for sitting upon, and her mouth would be fresh as an Irish Spring mornin'!

As a guy who went through 8 years of Catholic Grade School, replete with nuns who would beat your arse for mouthing off, I have a solution for this malady.  

.

School Uniforms.  It solves all this crap, because most p;laces with uniforms have a Uniforms ONLY Dress Code Policy the PARENTS must sign in advance!  Once again, I'm so glad I live in my little red-necky, NC country ass town!

Scott Walker wins Recall

In Wisconsin yesterday, the spoiled children of the public unions found out that 2.5% of the population is NOT a winning majority! The unions of state employees actually thought that because they got the recall on the ballot, that they'd also win.  If that was the case every elected office in the country would be filled with a committee now, wouldn't it!?
.

Gov. Scott Walker, fresh from becoming the nation's first governor to survive a recall election, wants to go about mending Wisconsin's political divide in an egalitarian way: over brats and beer.

Walker defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett on Tuesday for the second time in year and a half, turning back a recall effort that began with the collection of more than 900,000 signatures seeking his ouster. It was only the third gubernatorial recall in U.S. history.

Walker planned to invite all members of the Legislature to meet as soon as next week over burgers, brats and "maybe a little bit of good Wisconsin beer."

"The first step is just bringing people together and figuring out some way if we can thaw the ice," he said.

Democrats, including Barrett, pledged to work together too. But the wounds are deep following the rancor of the recall, which was spurred by Walker's surprise proposal to go after public employee unions.

"It is up to all of us, their side and our side, to listen. To listen to each other," Barrett said.

State Rep. Peter Barca, Democratic minority leader in the Assembly, said healing Wisconsin won't be easy.

"I hope Gov. Walker understands and stays true to his pledge to build consensus and be more inclusive going forward," Barca said.

 .
 Seriously?  Rep. Barca thinks the Governor needs to build consensus, and the DEMOCRATS are going to 'force' him into it?  If they were about consensus, then WHY did they just cost the state money on a recall election?!  Why did they fight  him tooth and nail for the last 18 months?  Why have they repeatedly said he's delusional and ignored the numbers getting better in the state?
.
Personally I think he ought to kick them to the curb.  Or at a minimum, keep making the point, that the Democrats caused the budget shortfalls, and tthey fought him to continue making big government even bigger in Wisconsin.
.
Here's hoping he breaks it off in their...vestibule.

6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. But the roses are wilting,the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head.

7. I want to feel your sweet embrace; But don't take that paper bag off your face.
8. I love your smile, your face, and your eyes. Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
9. My love, you take my breath away. What have you stepped in to smell this way?

10. My feelings for you no words can tell, Except for maybe 'Go to hell.'

11. What inspired this amorous rhyme? Two parts vodka, one part lime.

WHO SAID POETRY IS BORING?

Maybe Obama IS losing his supporters.

Come on now. Is Obama really a “psychopathic megalomaniac”?

I learned of Obama’s problems today.  Not from Ron Paul supporters.  Not from Glenn Beck‘s Drudge wanna-be news site The Blaze. I read about Obama’s psychosis from left wing Democrats.
Everyday I get emails from former members of Move On, a pro-Democratic Party group that was famously active during the build-up to the Iraq War in 2003. They’re complaining about one man: President Obama.

In these emails, one thing is apparent.  When it comes to the left wing liberals, Obama is being left behind.

The left was mostly raptured into political heaven four years ago when they elected Obama on bended knee.  He spoke about things dear to their hearts: closing Guantanamo Bay. Ending the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Getting tough on bankers.


Re: Write-in Kermit the Frog!

If being a ‘pragmatist’ or a ‘realist’ means choosing only amongst evils, count us OUT. Obama betrayed the American voters who expected he would not gut the US Constitution. Both parties are the same. And, in a world of infinite possibilities we choose not between the lesser of two evils. In fact, those of us who are not into denial and work at the human rights front lines prefer to face the Republican snake head-on then the confused and gutless Democrat chameleon whining about being a progressive when they are NOT.” — Ezili Danto, human rights lawyer at the Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network

Re: Bush mighta been better.
Hello!

“Why should the public believe what the Obama administration says about the people being assassinated by drones? Especially since, as we learn in the New York Times, the administration came up with a semantic solution to keep the civilian death toll to a minimum: simply count all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants. The rationale, reminiscent of George Zimmerman’s justification for shooting Trayvon Martin, is that “people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good.” Talk about profiling! At least when George Bush threw suspected militants into Guantanamo their lives were spared.” — Medea Benjamin, CodePINK

Go read the article.  Obama is where I thought he'd be about now if he didn't get everything he, and all the Leftist 'theys' wanted.  It started way back within days of the Inauguration when he didn't stop the war, close Gitmo and release all the Muslim Freedom Fighters. 

Remember that boob Cindy Sheehan?

I said then he was going to lose his supporters because he had promised too much to too many.  And here we are, almost time for an election and he has satisfied no one's need.  Except Michelle's need to live high on the fat laden, high calorie, free, 'cause WE the taxpayers paid for it, pig.

Here's what I think though.  Many of them, being Yellow Dog Communicrats, will vote for him ANYWAY.  I personally don't think he can win.  He'll be missing that few percentage points here and there, and he'll lose whole states, so he just won't get it.

That, of course, goes with the Democrats allowing the election to play out and he steps aside in January.  that's a tandem truck load of IF, and who knows when one falls out.

Go read the entire article, it's worth it.

One from the "Too Much of a Good Thing" File

There was a time when calling someone 'homo' was considered rude, crude and socially unacceptable.  But that was back when actually BEING homosexual was considered rude, crude and socially unacceptable.  As we all know, somewhere along the way, the sobriquet 'homo' was replaced with 'gay'. 

Likewise, there's been a change in just exactly what is considered name calling, partly from the chosen name change among gays, and partly from forced acceptance of them and their lifestyle.
.
A court says it's no longer slander in New York to falsely call someone gay.
 

A mid-level appeals court on Thursday wiped out decades of rulings, including its own, to say that society no longer treats false comments that someone is gay, lesbian or bisexual as defamation. Without defamation, there is no longer slander, the court ruled.

"These appellate division decisions are inconsistent with current public policy and should no longer be followed," stated the unanimous decision written by Justice Thomas Mercure of the Appellate Division's Third Department based in Albany. While the decision sets new case law in New York now, it could still go to a definitive ruling by the state's highest court, the Court of Appeals.

The New York decision finds that the comment is now "based on a false premise that it is shameful and disgraceful to be described as lesbian, gay or bisexual."

.
This, in my opinion, is absolutely MARVELOUS news.  Because right after it's no longer shameful and disgraceful, it's also NOT protected, in any way either, to BE gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer or to smoke meat nor to munch carpet!

Here's hoping every company in the country sights this as a case for throwing out all the Mandatory Gay Rights crap 'ola they now feel compelled to do.  I guess they GLAAD folks have done their job.  They wanted equality, well now they gotten it.  According to the State of NY, it's just as normal to be gay as it is to be white, tall, or from Paramus!
.
From one breeder to all you others, I'm ROFLMFAO!!!

Communist China Gripes About American Gun Ownership

Isoroku Yamamoto, Commander in Chief of the Imperial Japanese Navy, is said to have said,

“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

His concern lives on behind the Bamboo Curtain:

A report issued by the State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China has included U.S. gun ownership among a list of human rights violations, Law Enforcement Examiner Jim Kouri reported [Monday]. “The Human Rights Record of the United States in 2011″ was published last Friday on the PRC’s Consulate General in New York website. …

Predictably, the report presents many of the same cherry-picked arguments used by “leading” U.S. and international “gun control” organizations that totally ignore the protective benefits of arms in private hands. And, as typical with advocates of a centralized monopoly of violence, Chinese-style genocide, which resulted in government-caused deaths of unknown tens of millions of defenseless human beings in the 20th Century, and the current brutal occupation and tyrannical suppression of Tibetan sovereignty, is left unacknowledged. Left unsaid is the inconvenient truth that rendering captive populations unable to resist makes such monstrous crimes against humanity not only possible, but inevitable.

Now why would the communist Chinese want the American population to be disarmed? Are they afraid we’ll take revolvers out of our nightstands and cross the vast Pacific to overthrow their oppressive regime? Or, might someone else be thinking of crossing the ocean in the foreseeable future?

Here’s another quote, from John Adams:
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”

The second approach has been working fine for the ChiComs, but maybe they are hedging their bets, in case we are able to establish more responsible leadership...

News from the CDC

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of the old STD, Gonorrhea. The new strain of the disease is called,

"GonorrheaLectim" 

It is pronounced "Gonna re-elect em" and it is a terrible Obamanation. 

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum, or from believing that any smoke blown up there is actually the 'truth'. Many victims contracted the disease in 2008.  But now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-3 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.  Sadly, only about 2% to 7% of voters are aware that they are infected.  However, some psychological element may exist, as some who are infected deny that the disease exists at all.

It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called,

 Votemout. 

You take the first dose of 'Vote-em-out' now and the second dose in Nov. 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Friday Funny

An elderly golfer comes in after a good round of golf at the new course and heads straight to the bar/restaurant area of the club house.

As he passes through the swinging doors, he spots a sign hanging over the bar that reads:COLD BEER: $5.00
HAMBURGER: $10.00
CHEESEBURGER: $15.50
CHICKEN SANDWICH : $18.50
HAND JOB: $250.00
Checking his wallet to be sure he has the necessary money, the old golfer walks up to the bar and beckons to the exceptionally attractive female bartender who is serving drinks to a couple of sun-wrinkled golfers.

She glides down behind the bar to the old golfer.

“Yes?” she inquires with a wide, knowing smile. “May I help you sir?”

The old golfer leans over the bar and whispers, “I was wondering young lady, are you the one who gives the hand-jobs around here?”

She looks into his wrinkled eyes and with a wide smile purrs, “Yes sir, I sure am.”

The old golfer leans in even closer and into her left ear says softly, “Well then, be sure to wash your hands properly, because I want a cheeseburger.”
