and we're STILL debating healthcare...

This bill has all the stuff you didn't want in it too.
the touted "death panels"? yep. they're in there. Federally funded abortion? Oh yes, it's in there.
Medical care for illegal aliens? yep. ITS IN THERE.
It passed in the house by 5 votes.

I have a few questions to ask.
- Is it worth taking someone's freedom. Is it worth putting them in jail and destroying their lives? Folks, when you're put in jail, you no longer have a job, if you have children the government takes them too. your home? if you're renting, that's gone..you won't have money to pay the bills and pay court costs...not without that job. If you own it? how are you going to pay for it without a job? how will you get a job with a criminal record?
Is it worth that because someone doesn't have health insurance that some federal man says they need to have?
-What will you do when a panel of people decide that your loved ones aren't worth treatment?
Who will you turn to for a second opinion when its YOUR spouse that they deem not worth the effort to care for?
-What will you do when they take your children? It's not a stretch to see it happening. If you don't have "the proper health care" then of course you're not responsible enough to care for children...we'll just take your children until you comply.
Don't tell me it won't happen either.
You can say "it's not MY family", "that won't happen to me" but I say that ever man and woman in the U.S. will be everyman, the day this bill passes into law.

as for myself? I'm waiting for them to come try and Jail me for it.
if I survive that, I'm going to pay a visit to the folks who crafted and passed this bill...and I'm not going to be civil either.

time is fleeting

As I sit here this evening, thinking of the years that have passed, my thoughts go to those friends I've had that aren't with me anymore.
I can't help but to love all of my friends like brothers...it's just the way I'm made.
My wife once described it as childlike, with a wonderous generosity and love towards my friends and loved ones..who are one and the same...and an incredible rage and fury against those I deem enemy.
still, this night I think of my friends. Those who are with me and those who aren't.
I think this song applies to a few of them who are both here and not here.

Je verrai à nouveau un jour, dans des champs d'or et des temps meilleurs. J'adore vous tous.

Roman Polanski, Scumbag baby raper

Ok, this is a guy that ADMITTED to the rape of a 13 year old girl.
After he separated her from her parents under the guise of getting her further work "in the business".
After he plied her with Alcohol and drugs.

She STILL said no.

He still raped her.

Then again, how many rapists stop when you say no?

Then he ran to Fwance.

ME? I vote we turn his head into a canoe with a 9mm bullet.

and all you hollywood "stars" who stick up for him? you have no morals. I will no longer patronize your movies. You support baby rapers? well, it's your right to do that. Its my right to speak out and call you nasty. every one of you.
I'll bet if it was YOUR daughter Debra Winger, you'd want his head on a pole.

Natalie Portman? Kristin Scott Thomas? Diane Von Furstenburg? Tilda Swinton?

These people signed a petition to let the guy go.

I liked what Chris Rock said about it in this article..

Steve Schmidt- the reason the GOP is in Failure mode

Steve Schmidt, The fathead chimp-in-a-suit who sabotaged Sarah Palin during the last primary is one of the reasons that folks are sick of the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. Someone needs to smack this momma's boy and remind him of just what his rent a mouth cost the U.S. I volunteer!
I mean, this is the type of guy that would wipe his nose on the back of someone else's shirt and then complain because it smelled funny.

Then again, he IS McCain's manager..they're both working for the Democratic party anyway.

I read this from www.hotair.com

Speaker Pelosi worried about violence.

It seems that speaker Pelosi is pretty worried about violence because of the health care reform bill.
in the linked video, she expressed a wish to de-escalate the rhetoric because she's worried about violence.

I have a simple solution for Speaker Pelosi.

STOP TRYING TO PASS BILLS THAT AMERICANS DON'T WANT, you stupid cow.

if you start listening to the people that pay your salary, instead of walking around like you're something special, then you won't have to worry about someone wanting to punt your stupid ass of the planet.
I look forward to your political demise in 2010.

Wow! lots going on eh?

What with the Tea parties that shocked the Left AND the Right. Acorn getting it's political butt handed to it.
and then we see this.
That has to be the best demonstrator's sign I've ever seen.

Seeing things for what they are

Foud Ajami of the Wallstreet Journal has THIS to say about Pres. Obama...

He was no FDR, and besides the history of the depression—the real history—bears little resemblance to the received narrative of the nation instantly rescued, in the course of 100 days or 200 days, by an interventionist state. The economic distress had been so deep and relentless that FDR began his second term, in 1937, with the economy still in the grip of recession.

Nor was JFK about style. He had known military service and combat, and familial loss; he had run in 1960 as a hawk committed to the nation's victory in the Cold War. He and his rival, Richard Nixon, shared a fundamental outlook on American power and its burdens.

Now that realism about Mr. Obama has begun to sink in, these iconic figures of history had best be left alone. They can't rescue the Obama presidency. Their magic can't be his. Mr. Obama isn't Lincoln with a BlackBerry. Those great personages are made by history, in the course of history, and not by the spinners or the smitten talking heads.

Swordless Midshipmen

I haven't written anything in a little while because I figured anyone with common sense can see the way this administration is going.
I now am compelled to comment on this article.

Ladies and gentlemen, we're in trouble and trouble deep.
While Ben Bernake threatens government intervention to remove corporate leaders if they don't keep quiet to shareholders of Bank of America, about the financial losses of Merrill Lynch who Bank of America is about to buy.

Now, when Pres. Obama comes to speak to the midshipmen at the Naval academy, Swords are not allowed as part of the dress Uniform.

Ladies and gentlemen, this man is a socialist. Moreso, he's a coward who fears his own countrymen. Why? probably because he doesn't see you and I as his countrymen but as his subjects.
I submit that he's nothing more than what he came from. A family of Kenyan Muslims that murdered folks when those people resisted their commands.
Whats more I'm reasonably sure that he's going to destroy the freedoms we have in this country IF WE DO NOT SPEAK OUT!


WAKE UP!!! speak out.
this is YOUR ONLY CHANCE to stop the same events that happened in 1932.

A Memo to William Linde

Once again, armchair generals are always ready to Kneecap the guy on the ground, fighting for his life.

Mr. Linde, I will submit that the PHILOSOPHY of war very much different than the execution of warfare in fact. While I'm not that familiar with Boyd, I doubt very seriously that he can add very much more to the philosophy of war than Von Clauswitz,Sun TZU or any of another half dozen authors on the subject who had vastly more experience in that area as well as the accomplishments to show for it, No disrespect to the fine General intended.
I will of course, be happy to read his work, yet that isn't what startled me. What startled me is the idea of throttling our soldiers' ability to protect themselves and giving the enemy a known area in which to hide and conduct their operations.

You're an idiot.
the idea that we must (and I will paste this): apply Boyd’s insight about the three levels of war not only to the question of torture but to everything we do in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. At present, we are sacrificing the moral level to the physical in lots of ways, which is to say we are defeating ourselves. A good start would be a presidential order forbidding air strikes on populated areas and demanding they be restricted elsewhere to situations where our troops would otherwise be overrun.

On todays' battlefield, The American forces have been more than careful to keep civilian casualties to their absolute minimum. We have weapons that can track and
hit within a 1 meter grid! Yet you would tie troops hands in order to see them fail because some of the actions of warfare upset your "sensibilities".

IF their is one lesson that we should have learned from Viet Nam it is that politicians and philosophers are just that,politicians and philosophers.
The idea that morals are required to wage war is about as idiotic as the idea of a president actually dictating tactics to a general.
If this were the case then Stalin and 30 other empire builders would have failed.
War is not for philosophers nor does it require morals to succeed. It's a ugly thing and requires that a man suspend the civility that he's learned since childhood and kill other humans. Why do you think many of the great writers who have seen it first hand speak of it as one of the greatest evils?
The morals that we as Americans impose on ourselves come from our society and our wish for justice for all folks, regardless of their background.
Understand this:Air power is the ONE thing that troops on the ground can count on to win a fight that would otherwise mean their death.
The idea that YOU should dictate the terms of a soldiers' warfare to him is laughable and is the height of folly.
I submit that if you want to find some way to erase the perceived lack of morals for this war, look to the people who instituted it. Remember them? they flew an airliner full of hostages into a building a few years ago. They infiltrated a town in Afghanistan and slaughtered the inhabitants in order to draw the Americans into a fight there.
They blew up a subway train full of folks in London awhile back also. Look to the people who instituted the detention facility in Gitmo. Hold them accountable but do not ensure the deaths of our soldiers. We sent them to do a job, one that you're not willing or are too old to do. To tie their hands and ensure their deaths because you feel guilt over the actions of a few political hacks is just as wrong.

You were warned and did not listen

Wasn't one of the big O's campaign promises, to abolish Federal defense of marriage act?
Isn't the biggest reason that the Gay community voted so overwhelmingly for him was that they figured he'd provide a federal mandate that same sex marriages would be the law of the land?
Instead, we see this wording: He supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.

I don't think that a "civil union" is the same as a marriage...

why do the words "useful idiots" come to mind, with a mental picture of Perez Hilton....

LOLZ!!!

David Feherty For RNC Chair
May 11th, 2009 at 8:07 am by Preston Taylor Holmes

Feherty gives CBS Sports execs politically correct heart attacks.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — CBS Sports golf analyst David Feherty came under sharp criticism Saturday for a joke he wrote in a Dallas magazine article that suggested American soldiers would be just as likely to knock off House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Leader Harry Reid as they would Osama bin Laden.

“From my own experience visiting the troops in the Middle East, I can tell you this though,” Feherty wrote toward the end of his column. “Despite how the conflict has been portrayed by our glorious media, if you gave any U.S. soldier a gun with two bullets in it, and he found himself in an elevator with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Osama bin Laden, there’s a good chance that Nancy Pelosi would get shot twice, and Harry Reid and bin Laden would be strangled to death.”

That’s what used to happen to turncoats isn’t it? Oh well, maybe I’ll get to meet Feherty when we get sent to the same FEMA camp.

h/t Bill

I found this at a blog I ran across....

I found this and I just HAD to share it with you guys.
If you don't find this funny, well..I don't know, I guess you just don't!

Bills' idle mind

Perhaps......

Perhaps we should visit Washington before Washington visits us, like they did these folks...
Land grab

The FRENCH??? who would have figured!!

From a distance the large ship on the horizon looked like the perfect target, ripe for a successful spot of piracy.

But as Somali pirates sped toward the vessel sailing near the Seychelles Islands on Sunday, they were horrified to see two boats and a helicopter set off from their target and launch their own counter-attack.

They had failed to spot iin the dazzling sun, that the "merchant ship" they thought they were intercepting was actually a French naval ship bristling with cannons, radar technology and armed commandos.

When the three pirate boats were spotted heading toward them the frigate Nivose, one of the ships patrolling the region as part of the European Union anti-piracy mission Atalanta, headed into the sun to camouflage its true identity before turning to confront its attackers.

When the boats were close enough, Lt. Commander Jean-Marc le Quilliec sent his commandos out on outboards, with a helicopter to provide air support.

The helicopter fired two warning shots to stop the three boats from fleeing and within minutes the 11 pirates had surrendered.

Two of the attack boats were small skiffs which the pirates used as attack vessels and the third was a 30-foot mothership, used to transport supplies such as petrol, water and food.

Only one pirate was left on board the mother ship which had nothing on board except fuel and potates, according to Lt. Commander le Quilliec.

"He apparently thought the pirates had hijacked us," he said.

We are NOT alone!!!

Apparently there are quite a few Democrats who have figured out the Washington power elite, as well as many of us who have fled the Republican party in disgust.
This was taken from a comments section of an article on the blog Capitolhillblue



Bryan...now you're talking about my drugs of choice...and I love your combo. But those days are long gone for me...about 22 years long gone. I might as well drink battery acid, my sanity would stay in tact a bit longer. A&W Rootbeer is about it for me...but I can hold my own.

This deal with the GOP...its all but laughable. To kind of repeat one of my postings this morning in RR...I just don't give a rat's ass about the health and well being of any party.

To me the GOP or even the Dem party's survival is of little interest to me.

Specter's switch...so what? No biggie.

As I've said before...

"When I look at Washington's political population and the overall system in which they go about their daily business...it's sort of like looking at a pond that has grey ducks, brown ducks, blue-green ducks...and so-forth. In other words, a duck is a duck is a duck.

And if it's not apparent that Specter is just another Duck among all types of Ducks...then somebody has a critical thinking problem.

What we've been seeing for eons is a group of brown ducks ganging up on a group of...say blue-green ducks to maintain control over the resources in the pond. (Or vise-versa)

In a few years the blue-green ducks will see a new flock of blue-greens come to the pond...and they'll have the numbers to gang up on the brown ducks. (Or vise-versa)

The resources in the pond seem to continue to renew and/or even grow to make sure the ducks are well fed.

What I'd like to see added to the pond is a few alligators."

Arlen Specter

Arlen Specter (R-PA) decided to switch parties after a recent poll told him he was going to get plowed under by another Republican candidate.
Specter has been a RHINO for a long long time now..so I say to Mr. Specter this: "adios biotch! I didn't like you no ways!"
Nancy Pelosi is all agog with excitement because now the Democrats have a filibuster proof majority.
I say to her this: "you've had that for the last 2 years and look where it's gotten us."
Now the government is truly yours, democrats. After complaining about partisan behavior for so long and blaming all the mistakes on Republicans you can now say that you own it. I don't want to hear "it'll take too long to fix it"...that's what others have said and as we all know you have only as long to fix the problems as you have the public's confidence. I suggest you become more proactive because your boy Obama's popularity is dropping like a meteor.
Oh but wait! There's more! We haven't even seen the tax increases that Obama has advocated. We haven't even seen the increases that Cap and trade will bring..and you know that's coming now that the Democrats have no reason at all to compromise. I haven't even started thinking about the destruction that socialized medicine is going to wreak. *sigh*
I'll give it a year more. Even with the recession deepening, I figure the American people as a whole won't complain until they feel the lash of government taxes.
Good luck Pelosi and Specter. I intend to laugh heartily and cheer when you're run out of Congress on a rail...or, if we're lucky, run over by a bus.

For those of you who say "bad show old man! one should never wish ill of your political enemies". I say not so! You're telling me to think happy thoughts while their policies strip the food from my families' table and reduce me to penury. I take that personally.
And remember..I'm a veteran so you know I'm on a watch list..along with the rest of you who served...so "if this be treason, then make the most of it!"

Oh this is funny!

I ran across this at the 6 meat buffet site. My hats off to those gentlemen!
In watching the video from the President’s power play in NYC yesterday, I was struck by the motivation for the display of power. Nothing this administration does is an honest mistake. This is why President Hussein is not allowed to speak without Soros running his teleprompter.

As Cuffy described it, he was torturing 9/11 victims. My first thought was that this bastard decided to remind the sheep who elected him who really sits in the seat of power and that they better fall in line and get with the program, or else. And, as Cranky so aptly put it, this panicking NYC population has voted for the very people who are making them far less safe, so it’s difficult to feel any sympathy for their plight.

It’s not enough for President Narcissist to run the country like his own third-world banana republic (which he learned from his heroes, Castro, Chavez, Odinga, Marx, Mussolini, et al), he has to remind the sheep and shysters in the NY financial sector that he’s the boss and that little Tax Cheat Timmy is flying a 747 around their precious infrastructure.

For the record, NYC sheep, the proper response when Air Force One flies by is to get out your Hope and Change Prayer Rug™ (you’ll find one in your government-issued briefcase), get on your knees and bow to the only “god” Obama knows - himself. Don’t make him spend more of your money on another photo op to remind you of his greatness.

The article is better there..they have film! go see them!

6 meat buffet

Do you realize?

For those of you who wonder "Who will stand up to this perfidy, this distortion and outright defamation of our most sacred document?", we present Mr. Stephen Pidgeon.
AS told by Mr. Pidgeon, he is being harassed for simply following the Constitution.
While this may seem a bit far fetched and radical by many conservative Americans and will probably be condemned by the left, there are a surprising number of average, ordinary Americans on both sides of the political spectrum and many in between, who find this refreshing and eagerly seek some sort of resolve for the crisis we're in.


here exists, in Snohomish County, Washington, a man by the name of Stephen Pidgeon. Mr Pidgeon is an attorney and the attorney of record in the cause of Broe v Reed, an action dismissed by the Washington State Supreme Court as “moot” on January 9, 2009, carefully side-stepping the merits of the case brought by Broe, et al. Nothing new or surprising there. Washington State Supreme Court justices are no more or less corrupt than their equals in the United States Supreme Court. Should we be surprised that they would be too cowardly to take on AKA and the mighty Chicago machine that stands behind him?

And Obama doesn't understand why we're buying guns??

When I read things like this, I can understand why we're buying firearms. What the politicians don't understand is that they're actually outnumbered by a pretty wide margin. The voting polls don't accurately reflect the true will of the people, probably because they're skewed. Organizations like Acorn ensured that. What politicians have forgotten or overlooked, is that without a true reflection of the will of the folks who make up this country, you may be acting at the wrong time and will overplay your hand and compromise your agenda. They may be able to influence votes but what they cannot influence, is the meat on the street. You can pass off dead dogs, deceased aunts and uncles and your pet parakeet when its time to vote but when it's time for a fight? I don't think those entities are going to help you much in dealing with the approximately 50-65% of Americans that want to treat you like an ear in a Mike Tyson fight.

Detroit has more registered voters than it has residents
Gee - no kidding. I'm shocked. Shocked I say! Well - in actuality - no. No I'm not. This is the modus operindi in Democrat hegemonies. People that don't exist, the dead, and family pets overwhelmingly vote Democrat you know! From the freep this morning is this headline: No-confidence vote on voter rolls. The only shocking part of the article is that it is written by one very liberal Rochelle Riley. In any case, some snippets:

Detroit election officials confirmed Monday what an analysis of census and population records shows: The city has more registered voters than it has residents over the voting age of 18.

He estimates that Detroit's population is about 853,000, which includes 603,000 people over 18 -- 30,000 fewer than the city reported as its total of registered voters.

"Even if you had 100% voter registration, which we know we don't have, you could not have numbers that high," he said. "Nationally, 67.6% of Americans are registered to vote. For African Americans, it's 60.9%."

Metzger estimates that Detroit's voter registration is closer to 422,000.

And you know what that means, don't you? Lt. Gov. John Cherry just picked up more than 200,000 votes for 2010! Woohoo! How about them apples? If they can just find more non-voter voters, he'll be a shoe-in! (and we'll be screwed)

Riley is correct that the problem can be traced back to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which took effect in 1995, (passed by a Democrat Congress and signed by Democrat Bill Clinton)and requires local officials to wait two federal election cycles before purging their voter rolls. Funny how this seems to only benefit one party...
UPDATE: RightMichigan has some statistics:

Here are a few more numbers to consider, from the top of the ticket...

2008 General Election results-DEM: 96.93% GOP: 2.65%
2006 General Election results-DEM: 95.05% GOP: 4.33%
2004 General Election results-DEM: 93.61% GOP: 5.93%

I'll say it again... 211,000 phantom voters. 211,000 phantom voters in a city that has spent the last two election cycles going more than 95/5 for the Left.

I've mentioned before that Detroit is the most liberal city when judged on voting record. (Detroit Resident, Urban Hunter, Our Symbol) How's that been working out for ya so far???

I shamefully stole this from Moonbattery! they re-posted it from theblogprof. Both are awesome blogs and well worth your time to look at!

"Not the POTUS" scrambling!

If he has nothing to hide, then SHOW US THE DOCUMENTATION!

This is a long read, but it contains some interesting information. If anyone remembers little Elian Gonzolez then think that situation..then put yourself in HIS place.

Now, why did they name it "Barry"?

From the interwebz:

Barry the giant sea worm discovered by aquarium staff after mysterious attacks on coral reef


Aquarium staff have unearthed a 'giant sea' worm that was attacking coral reef and prize fish.

The 4ft long monster, named Barry, had launched a sustained attack on the reef in a display tank at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium over recent months.

Workers at the Cornwall-based attraction had been left scratching their heads as to why the coral had been left devastated and - in some cases - cut in half.
Killer worm

Discovered: 'Barry' the sea worm had been nestling under coral reef, attacking it and fish, at Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium in Cornwall

After staking out the display for several weeks, the last resort was to completely dismantle it, rock by rock.

Halfway through the process the predator was revealed as a four-foot polychaete worm.


Staff eventually lured it out with fish scraps, but not before it bit through 20lb fishing line.
Killer worm

Don't mess: The tropical worm is covered in thousands of bristles which are capable of inflicting a sting resulting in permanent numbness

The tropical worm is capable of inflicting permanent numbness on humans with its sting.

Matt Slater, the aquarium's curator, said: 'Something was guzzling our reef but we had no idea what, we also found an injured Tang Fish so we laid traps but they got ripped apart in the night.

'That worm must have obliterated the traps. The bait was full of hooks which he must have just digested.'

Home from home: The display tank where Barry was attacking coral reef and fish

He added: 'It really does look like something out of a horror movie. It's over four feet long with these bizarre-looking jaws.

'We also discovered that he is covered with thousands of bristles which are capable of inflicting a sting resulting in permanent numbness.'

Mr Slater said Barry, who has now been relocated to his own tank, probably arrived as a juvenile in a delivery of living rock from another aquarium.

2 stars for a great forum!

For those of you who like the 2nd amendment and firearms ownership, here's a great forum for you!

An Infantryman's prayer.

I come before you Jesus Christ with a heavy heart. I see my people destroyed and I come before you, beseeching you to give me the things that no one else prays for. Lord, give me trouble and strife, give me warfare and show me our enemies so that my people will not have to see them. I pray Lord God that when you give these things to me once, give them to me always, for I may not have the courage to ask this again. Fortify my heart Oh Lord. Make me a shield for my people and a scourge to my enemies. I pray that you fill me with the Wrath of Yaweh, The vengeful desert God of my ancestors. Through you we will live. Through you I will provide my people with security and peace, until you return.

A Cusp

When significant outlooks or happenings occur in history, they're called cusps.
I believe that one such cusp has been codified and will occur soon.


to whit: Declaration of Independence


When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one to dissolve the political bonds which have connected him with his government, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature entitle him, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that he should declare the causes which impel him to the separation.

I hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is one’s right to alter or to abolish one’s allegiance, in the hopes of instituting a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is the right of the individual, it is his duty, to oppose such government, and to do what’s necessary to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of citizens of these United states; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of most recent past and present presidents and legislators of the United States of America is a history of repeated civil rights violations, constitutional travesties, usurpations of state’s rights, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute political control over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

The unconstitutional regulation by at least one federal agency, office, commission, bureau, or department of all goods and services traded domestically and internationally.

Establishment, in direct violation of the constitution, of a privately governed central bank whose sole purpose is to manipulate the monetary markets and which is not subject to public scrutiny and whose actions undermine the value of the American dollar to the detriment of the welfare of these United states.

Unconstitutional invasion, overthrow and occupation of sovereign foreign countries which pose no threat to the security of these United states based on political ideology to the detriment of the foreign nation and the welfare of the citizens of these United states.

Unconstitutional presence in allied foreign countries which pose no threat to the security of these United states and which levies unconscionable debt on the current and future citizens of these United states.

The implementation of an electoral system intended to marginalize third parties thereby limiting the choices presented to the electorate and giving an unfair advantage to the incumbents and leading to one party and/or one family or members of previous administrations also holding high-ranking offices in successive administrations, effectively creating an unconstitutional monarchy.

Unconstitutional manipulation of the tax laws to serve political agendas to the detriment of the welfare of these United states.

Unconstitutional alliances with special interests and big businesses to the detriment of the welfare of these United states.

Severe unconstitutional civil rights violations to include:

Restrictions on the freedom of speech.

Restrictions on our rights to bear arms.

Restrictions of use of private property.

Unconstitutional wire tapping on the citizens of these United states.

Torture.

Suspension of habeas corpus.

Furthermore, the consistently irresponsible behavior on the part of the elected congress in passing, without fully reading or understanding, legislation which violates the civil rights of these United states and levies unconscionable debt on the current and future citizens of these United states.

The impractical and logistically impossible size of the federal government makes it, by definition, an inefficient leviathan to the detriment of the welfare of these United states.

In every stage of these digressions citizens of these United states have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A president or legislator, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

I, therefore, a citizen of the United states of America, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of my intentions, do, in the name, and by the authority given to me by nature and the constitution of these United states, solemnly publish and declare, that I am, and of right ought to be free and independent from the federal government; that I am absolved from all allegiance to the federal government, and that all political connection between myself and the federal government, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as a free and independent citizen of these United states, I have full power to bear arms and defend myself against the federal government, conclude peace with the federal government, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent citizens may of right do. And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the human spirit and the American spirit, I pledge to these United states my life, my fortune and my sacred honor.

This is a must see video!

Who are you trying to kid??

ST. CLOUD, Minn. | To hear his camp tell it Thursday, President Obama has been in the dark on his administration's controversial efforts to force veterans to use their private insurance for treatments and to clear the way for large bonuses to be paid to the executives of the failed insurance giant AIG.

Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. was the latest to offer the president-didn't-know defense, suggesting to a Minnesota audience that Mr. Obama was "unaware" of the veterans plan until the president floated it to veterans groups leaders this past Monday and stirred a major controversy.


Say what?? you care to try and phrase that lie differently?

This guy is awesome!

For those of you who are, like me, so very angry at what our Congress is doing to our country, This fella is a bright ray of hope...



Shamelessly absconded from the Jawa report

Well I think THIS will help the economy too!

With all the stupid ideas that Congress and the President are enacting to "help" the economy, I'll add a suggestion that makes more sense...

Pelosi, Reid and Durbin get in a swearing match

Folks, I'd past it here, but I'd probably get sued for a copywrite violation or some such, so I'm just going to post the link.

all I can say is that this is no less than I expected.
Democratic leadership is great at sabotaging our countries' economy but ask them to build something and it's like you're talking to a stump.

as usual, click on the Name of the post and it'll take you right to the link.

and in other news:

It looks like the NY Times is hitting a rough patch, economically speaking. They're leasing out their office space to pay their debts...but its a drop in the bucket to what they owe and is coming due. add to that they're losing readers like a sieve looses water.
read about it at Breitbart.

Just to put it in perspective...

Thanks to Instapundit for the info!

I'm so mad...

I have one thing to say to all you retards that voted for Obama..

EAT IT BITCHES!!! you asked for it...eat every feather of crow. some of you may say "he's gonna take care of us" because you're black and he's ...sort of black.
let me tell you..he doesn't care about you. not ONE of you. he cares about power and money. since many of the folks that voted for him don't have either of those...they'll get left by the wayside.

I DO feel bad though..after he's finished with this country, theres' little hope that a black person will ever hold that office again.

way to go Obama! you've just set race relations back another 100 years.

oh..and your congressmen? they're exempt..it seems it's too much trouble for them to deal with the carbon credits.
welcome to your socialist utopia where there is no more middle class..only the socialist elite (congressmen, lobbyists etc.) and the kine that provide them with their wealth and power.
*cluebat- that would be the REST of us.

Our REAL system of government.

I know all of you at one time or another have said "we live in a democracy"...I have too..
well..it just isn't so!

watch and learn..

I guess I shouldn't be suprised..but I can't help it.

Remember the State Education system that brought you Ward Churchill? This guy ?
well...they've done it again!

AURORA - A local school district has suspended a member of the Young Marines youth leadership group after students saw drill props in her vehicle.

Marie Morrow, a 17-year-old senior at Cherokee Trail High School in Aurora, is serving a 10-day suspension. Her punishment could be extended at an expulsion hearing later this month.

Morrow is a student leader in the Douglas County Young Marines, a group dedicated to teaching leadership and life skills.

Cherry Creek Schools suspended Morrow after other students reported seeing guns inside her SUV, which was parked outside school while she was in class.

The school also called police, who seized the three drill team guns made of wood, plastic and duct tape. Police told Morrow to claim them in time for her after-school drill practice off-campus.

School administrators, however, were less understanding. The guns were declared "authentic representations of genuine weapons," triggering a mandatory expulsion statute in state law.

"I have never been in trouble at all," said Morrow, who is planning to attend the United States Merchant Marine Academy. "I hadn't imagined in a million years that anything like this would have happened."

Chris Proctor, commanding officer of the Douglas County Young Marines, was rebuffed in his attempt to explain the props to school leaders.

"There's no mistaking that these are not real rifles," said Proctor. "I think somewhere along the line, logic has to take over and they have to be able to make exceptions to the rules."

"Marie is one of the best kids that you could ever imagine," he said.

"I could see where the school could be freaked out about it," said Morrow. "But I think there should be some leeway with the law based on situations and realize this is just an honest mistake."

"The law doesn't make any distinction between a genuine weapon and a facsimile," said Cherry Creek Schools spokeswoman Tustin Amole.

Amole says federal and state laws mandate expulsion, and that school districts only have discretion to determine the length of that expulsion.

Asked who had the discretion to deem the props "dangerous weapons," Amole said school administrators and police made the decision based on state law that defines a "dangerous weapon" as "a firearm, whether loaded or unloaded, or a firearm facsimile that could reasonably be mistaken for an actual firearm."

Amole said the props in Morrow's vehicle caused concern among students and administrators who made an "assumption" that the weapons appeared "genuine."

Morrow's mother grew emotional while saying she hoped her daughter would continue her volunteer and service work despite the incident.

"I just don't want it to affect her view on the world, (make her believe) that people who do the right thing don't come out on top," said her mother, Jennifer McGrew. "I've always kind of really looked up to my daughter for having a mind of her own and going places that I never even dreamed."

A hearing officer could recommend Morrow be allowed back in school after her 10-day suspension or could expel her for as much as the rest of her senior year. The final decision belongs to the Cherry Creek Schools superintendent.

Morrow, who has already secured the necessary recommendation from a member of Congress to attend the Merchant Marine Academy, has been told an expulsion would not derail her eventual acceptance to the Academy.

"As long as I can get my diploma, I guess everything else will work itself out," said Morrow, who explained she's trying to focus on her planned career of service. "It's not going to be the end of the world."

When will we stop giving in to stupidity and Political correctness? When will we as a people start judging other people by their individual acts and intents?
This isn't justice..this is a bunch of retards that can't be trusted to wipe their own noses..much less teach children, making a decision blindly based on what someone ELSE wrote on a piece of paper.
You've seen these critters before..some call these folks school officials..I call them lemmings.

Worried about the recession? Me too!

Our esteemed leader has no clue what he's doing. He's making the same mistakes that FDR made during the great depression.

Nightmare on Constitution Avenue

UPDATE: below

The similarities of US Government actions now and in the beginning of the Great Depression are frightening. We are talking Friday the 13th scary here. How many times must they unlock the door to the basement? Here is a clue: Jason's still down there. (Not coincidentally, Jason returns this Friday--the first Friday the 13th of 2009.)

Hold onto your armrests as we review the Great Depression Script and see how the Obama Production compares (co-produced with the Fourth Estate). I include the Fourth Estate in this because it is the mouthpiece of the Democratic party. Disagree? Write or call your favorite reporter and ask them "What will the GDP be with and without this plan? Especially over the long term?" You will be answered with stunned silence.

Lets go to the score card:

Great Depression: Massive increase in government (which did not help the economy.)
Obama/Fourth Estate: Massive increase in government that will not help the economy either.
Score: Check.

Great Depression: Smoot-Hawley Tarriffs wreck economy
Obama/Fourth Estate: Buy American, carbon caps/tax
Score? Ouch.

Great Depression: The administration prosecuted those that had profited on Wall Street during the roaring 20's. (Amity Shlaes, The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression (2007), Chapter 7)
Obama/Fourth Estate: Obama targets Wall Street excess
Score? Ouch

Great Depression: Over One Thousand Economists Publish Letter Opposing Government Proposals. (Shlaes, Page 96)
Obama/Fourth Estate: Hundreds of Economists Write Letter Opposing Government Proposals.
Score: Ouch...

Great Depression: Administration Experiments with Economy (Shlaes, Chapter 5)
Obama/Fourth Estate: House Appropriations Chairman Dave Obey, D-Wis., said the goal is to act now and address problems later. During the Depression, he said, President Franklin Roosevelt "tried lots of things. We'll do the same thing."
Score: Ouch!

Great Depression: Americans elect a charismatic politician to the White House with the primary skill of giving fireside chats and little real knowledge of the economy.
Obama/Fourth Estate: Americans elect a politician to the White House with the primary skill of good 30 second sound bites and little real knowledge of the economy.
Score: And the Oscar Goes to. . .BO-44!!!

Great Depression: Roosevelt is elected on a platform to abolish useless commissions, reduce government spending and then did exactly the opposite.
Obama/Fourth Estate: Obama pledges to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and now is doing exactly the opposite.

I have to hand it to BO-44, his "spend wisely" rhetoric sounds great, but is unpersuasive and not applied to the present plan. Likewise, the only thing that historians can agree upon about Roosevelt is that his fireside chats were comforting while they distracted from the sub-rosa goal of turning the country towards socialism.

So, the conditions precedent to a re-release of the original horror from the '30s would be:

1. Wage/price controls,


2. To see the Supreme Court throw out the "Stimulus Bill" as unconstitutional, as was Roosevelt's National Recovery Administration, and


3. Have Obama threaten to pack the Supreme Court, though it doesn't appear as if threats will be required this time.

If that happens, then 2009 - 2019 will definitely be America's lost decade.

Friends, when the title of the movie starts with "Halloween ..." or "Friday the ...", we don't need to see the picture to know what is in it or how it ends. As far as making government bigger, well we've seen that movie before. No thank you

A little depression era cheer!

here's a picture of a firearm that I've not ever shown. This is my wife's carry pistol. Until today I hadn't had a chance to photograph it because she'd never let me get ahold of it. *grin*
this is an Iver Johnson Pony. Its a nickle plated imitation of a Colt Mustang.
One of the good things about both of these models is that they operate on recoil, not blowback.
this means that they will have a higher muzzle velocity. This is a good thing in a .380 calilber pistol, where penetration is concerned.
This particular piece was bought from a very nice fella who in turn bought it in 1978, at a Western Auto. He took it home and fired a couple of rounds through it, cleaned it and put it in his safe until last year. My wife has fired one magazine through it...and my brother did also (it was supposed to be HIS gun but my wife preempted him.) to see what he didn't get to buy because of a womans' perogative. so all in all its had 14 rounds through it. it shoots flawlessly and is pretty!
Enjoy!

It was bound to happen sometime...

well,
I received a phone call last week from my detailer (a temp company that hires tower hands) who told me that I was terminated.

huh?

"if you don't mind me asking, why was I terminated?"

"you're not working hard enough, we haven't gotten good reports from your work"


Now folks, this work IS hard work...but I know it. I've been doing it for almost 9 years now.

I asked one of the other old timers and he said that the manager of the tower side has been mad with me since I told them that I couldn't handle the pace of doing 1 tower a night, with only myself and another climber.
no allowances for weather, no allowances for scope of work. nothing like that.
I know for a fact that they allowed 40 hours per man (a 4 man crew) to do these towers...so we had the time.
SO...after a year of 70-90 hour work weeks, I have suddenly been found lacking.

*sigh* on top of that, the pickings for tower work has suddenly gotten very lean...

hey Obama...I'm about to be in your soup line for a little while...and don't give me that "it's not mine" line..
the Democrats have, in my opinion, purposely sabotaged the Economy and the United states so that they could "fix it" with their policies and with their own man.

I'll let you folks know how it goes and when I'm a breadwinner again.
Its a good thing my wife decided to come off the road and get a job working at the hospital! otherwise we'd be out of luck, out of money and out of doors....

Folks, keep your head down!

beauty, thy name is bull...

I managed to pick up a very nice, light weight 5 shot .38 the other day.
what can I say? it shoots beautifully, is very concealable and feels great in my hand...
you may drool..but wipe your keyboards afterward or someone will think you've been watching porn...

And now for some motivational posters!
