WHEN, in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's GOD entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the Causes which impel them to the Separation.

As the controversy over the failure of DHS to stop a known Jihadist (the Nigerian) from boarding an American Airliner builds, the increased use of body scanning technology surfaces once again adding new controversy. TSA can be depended on to implement use of these things in the most inefficient manner possible. Perhaps we should all just wear our underwear on the outside of our pants so TSA can inspect them more closely.
I understand the objections to these things, as the image of TSA agents sitting behind the monitors snickering as young women with generous "racks" submit in the name of security. Lotee-dotee everybody on a random basis will be pushed through these electronic peep shows which is the usual TSA cookie cutter bureaucratic approach to creating the illusion of security. Muslims escaping this ineffective dragnet will march right onto the airplane without a second glance (just as the Nigerian did).
OK boys and girls, its time to grow up and realize how truly stupid this PC driven security system is. I'd say somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 percent of people trying to blow up airplanes today are,....ummm...Muslim. So instead of wasting finite resources checking out every traveling Grannie's nylon undies (or Grandpa's sagging boxer shorts) through an airport scanner, profile by forcing all identifiable Muslims through the scanners for secondary searches.
Is what I suggested perfectly fair? No. Does it make perfect sense in light of what we know? Yes. Therefore, if you are a Muslim, if you look Muslim, are from Muslim country, or even have a Muslim sounding name, you're going into that scanner buddy....before you set foot on any US airplane. Other suspicious characters should go through as well, but the spotlight should absolutely be on the entire identifiable Muslim population boarding US airplanes. In that demographic, you cannot separate the bomb carriers from the enablers and/or indifferent. Muslims must understand the necessity, for their own survival depends on it ... unless they too are willing to die as martyrs.
I read that Muslim men especially would be offended if their wives went through a scanner. I say all the better, especially if it keeps this risky demographic off our commercial aircraft. Amen.
Until the Muslim jihadists stop their insane quest to impose Sharia law using terrorism, this must be done. Its Muslims that have the motive to blow our planes out of the sky, and its Muslims that bare watching with great intensity.
"You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children (America), the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done." -- Ronald Reagan
We so badly need this kind of leadership. Unless 2010 corrects the ship, we could see it sink forever.
As Major Hasan at Ft. Hood claimed more American lives, now a Nigerian almost succeeded in destroying another airliner on Christmas day. Socialist Democrats in Congress scramble to make excuses as to why this individual, who was reported by his father, wasn't put on a no-fly list. I've got the answer already. PC=Political Correctness. It was political correctness that allowed Major Hasan total access inside a secure Army post, and it was political correctness that allowed the Nigerian to board an aircraft with a bomb sewn inside his shit stained undershorts.
Its time we start profiling, by identifying most likely suspects and strip searching them before they get aboard commercial airliners. We waste so much time and effort searching our Grandmas and Grandpas while ragheads from Islamic parts of the world walk aboard unmolested. The reason...random searches...its more "fair". I'm sure the Socialist Democrats in Congress will find a way to blame the Bush administration for this latest attack.
Political correctness almost killed over 200 individuals on that plane. Obama sympathizes with the cause of why terrorists want to kill us. Its American arrogance and exceptionalism. His weak feckless soft power approach makes us a much more likely victim. The wolf hunts the lame and weak, not the strong and fierce.
Barack Hussein Obama....mmmm....mmmm.....mmmm. I'm certain as a result of this attack, the answer will be more random searches insuring many more pairs of Grandma undies are cleared of any explosive devices. TSA to the rescue. Do you feel safer?
A Savior is BORN. We cannot save ourselves, but to believe in him...our salvation is assured. He is the way, the truth, the life, whosoever belieth in him shall not perish, but will have everlasting life.
Its snowing in Texas today. Christ commands the Earth, not Al Gore.
This year, all kidding aside, I wish that I could better measure my tone and anger at our ever expanding Government. I desire to think my anger is justified, just as Christ's anger towards the money changer's who were debasing God's Temple.
However, I am grounded enough to know that my judgement is not as perfect... but is it wrong to raise a voice at those who would injustly take from those who justly earn? Isn't it the right of every man to give freely to those he chooses? My Great Grandfather fought the excesses of Government power using force of arms during the late War for Southern Independence. My Great Great Great Grandfather likewise did in the American Revolution.
I cannot do less should I be called upon by good conscious and desparate circumstances. God help me to rightly decide should that time come upon me. I sometimes feel those circumstances grow closer, and I must admit that I shudder at their approach. Pray for our country, that those circumstances can forever be avoided.
Claire McCaskill, just one of the assclowns supporting this abortion of a healthcare bill. Its difficult for me to believe, the State that hosts one of the most visited destinations for Senior Citizens (Branson) would support this horrible bill. This bill guts Medicare, removes Medicare Advantage, and raises deficits and taxes that generations will pay forever. Perhaps, this bill will cause the United States to collaspe entirely. Claire McCaskill is one of 60 Socialists assclowns strangling our Republic. She deserves the scorn of all Patriots.
The remaining GOP Senators need to fight the “Battle of the Alamo”. The courtesy of allowing this vote to move forward without procedural wait times is unacceptable. I realize they want their staffs to get home for Christmas, but this is too important to let go. Everyday they resist, the lame stream media must cover that resistance. Like the Alamo of old, this buys valuable time to build the resistance movement that will sweep Democrats out of office in 2010.No more playing nice. We are dealing with Chicago thugs. This disaster must be repealed.
We need common sense healthcare reform. We don't need this bill. We must start over. Its too important.
Israel may be in a fight for its life. Russia is selling ADA batteries to Iran. Iran is moving across the Iraqi border to take oil fields. Iran continues to move forward with its nuclear ambitions. Iran continues to improve its ballistic rocket technology. Connecting the dots?
The feckless soft power approach of Barrack Hussein Obama isn't working. We need to say a prayer for our country, and Israel. Each is in the hands of a President who was nurtured in the Church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and sired by an Islamist father. Obama, a man who felt very comfortable sitting in Bill Ayers living room sharing adult beverages. God help us.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hananaka. Pray. Fight the good fight.
News Flash....the Socialist Democrat Party are certainly causing a ruckus in Communist Nirvana. A big celebration concerning the recent news that the USA is quickly crumbling from the inside under the leadership of Comrade Hussein.
Khrushchev was right. "On another occasion, Khrushchev said in reference to capitalism, "Мы вас похороним!" (My vas pokhoronim!), translated to "We will bury you". This phrase, ambiguous both in the English language and in the Russian language, was interpreted in several ways. Later, he would refer back to the comment and state, "I once got in trouble for saying, 'We will bury you'. Of course, we will not bury you with a shovel. Your own working class will bury you". Thank you ACORN and Illegal Aliens for finally making Khrushchev's dream come true.
Not unexpected, that Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was finally bought off by one of Harry Reid's backroom deals. These Democrat assclowns are getting ready to change our healthcare delivery system without even reading the bill. They are not Statesmen, but a corrupt gaggle of wheelers and dealers who hide from us the fruits of their evil labor.
Folks, this is it. We have to take a stand now. There won't be time to do it later. The Socialists are succeeding in taking over our banks, auto industry, and now the healthcare system. They are also moving rapidly to take over energy companies under the guise of the climate change hoax (Cap and Trade). Its time for all Patriots to stand against the rise of Government tyranny.
Lets raise flags of defiance to boldly fly in the face of these damn Socialists. These bastards are busily strangling our free Republic. We must resist with all urgency, there is no time to waste. Light the torches, build the parapits, dig the trenches, fix bayonets, and brace yourselves for the fight of a lifetime. The Socialists are behind the wire. Now is the time...now before its too late.
The grand experiment in freedom, the light of the world, our American Republic, is in grave danger. Ride to the sound of gunfire. Let the enemies of freedom tremble at our approach.
I've been doing some thinking about our Judeo Christian heritage, and all that's at risk with the rise of secular humanism.
As incredible question as it might be to raise.... especially during the Christmas season... but have you considered that the freedom to "hate" is the only thing that will sustain the freedom to love? Take for example secular humanist liberals favorite subject, hate crime legislation. Hate crime legislation limits choice to hold certain beliefs and will eventually become the chain that binds any freedom of thought. Without the Judeo-Christian world view, secular humanist authority becomes the supreme arbiter of what hate is or is not. By having no supreme arbitor (God), secular humanists will decide for us.
We see examples of this bubbling up in science and culture already. To have a different opinion about evolution, climate change, or homosexual marriage are the best examples. Advocates of contrary points of view are labeled flat earthers, deniers, haters, or homophobes. Secularists don't allow or tolerate disagreement. Careers are ruined, reputations destroyed, or lawsuits launched for expressing points of view contrary to the secular humanist definition of "settled" science or moral relativity.
Hate crime legislation already legislates thought, and increases the punishment of the criminal based on what the criminal was thinking when he or she committed the crime. This of course destroys the concept of equal protection under the law. Beware, once the secular humanist becomes the supreme arbiter of relative morality, then they decide all.
Without the Judeo-Christian world view, there will no longer be freewill or choice. All views contrary to the secular humanist view will be regarded as hate, and those views will eventually be made illegal. That's the brave new world we are creating if we don't turn back quickly to our Christian heritage.
In the Declaration of Independence, we proclaimed we had inalienable rights (God Given). We cannot allow secular humanists to declare there is no God in the founding of this country. Without unalienable rights...the State decides. Do you see the danger now?
The Gulf Stream jets, Limos, and whores lined up again to pick up the celebrities and dignitaries for the big Climate Change summit in Copenhagen. Caviar wedges and the finest of wine were flowing in generous quantities. You were not invited, but you’ll pick up the check. No expense or carbons were spared to transport, feed, and house these delegates in ‘abject’ luxury. Their concern, and objective, of course is to determine how the rest of us should live. This has never been about “their” hypocritical lifestyle, but how we…the unwashed masses…abuse the planet. In no case to they intend to live by example, but to place restrictions that will ultimately impact jobs and the larger economy. Like our US Congress, they care little about what we want. This is why our elected Representatives charge ahead with Cap and Trade and this abortion of a Health Care bill. If you are afraid of the excesses and power of a central Federal Government, be very afraid now. President Hussein intends to put the United States under the governance of world bodies that will dictate how the US uses its own resources. You see, Liberals, and especially our President doesn’t believe America is exceptional. They believe we haven’t been a force for good. These are the people you folks put in charge.
Is this the people we’ve now become?
I hope not, because if that’s true the light illuminating the shining city on the hill just went out.
This climate change game is to enrich the ALGOREs and GEs who are counting on benefiting from Cap and Trade and other countries who think America has become too powerful...too exceptional. We must be stopped, and Barack Hussein Obama intends to do it. He said to his allies, "we are who we've been waiting for".
It shouldn't be surprising that Barack Hussein Obama holds another job summit to create the illusion of progress. Who does he invite, but the likes of the SEIU. These union assclowns never created one single job; yet can figure out how to get three or four deadheads hired to do one single job (obviously that someone else creates). Why ask these parasites how to make things better, as these idiots are nothing but life sucking parasites on the ass of economic growth. I hope all the Bush hating Independents that helped elect this Socialist moron to the Presidency gets a good dose of hope and change.
It would be nice if the socialist Democrats finally understoood the Health Care and Cap and Trade Bills looming are killing jobs. No one wants to hire because potential employers don't know what additional costs are coming with passage of either one of these huge tax bills. If we cannot get these clowns out of office soon, we'll all be standing in soup lines.
The terrorist trials in NY are designed for one purpose, to put the Bush administration on trial. The terrorist's attorneys will issue subpoenas to Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, and even perhaps former President George W. Bush. Here is the opportunity to put the entire administration on trial. The intent at the very least would be to embarrass all former Bush advisers and cabinet members, perhaps to force them to claim 5th Amendment rights to avoid disclosing sensitive information. This is Chicago style politics. Additionally, this gives the terrorists themselves a platform to eviscerate the USA for their own purposes.
I am no fan of Rumsfeld or Cheney, but this is outragious. Giving our precious Constitutional rights to foreign terrorists picked up on a foreign battlefields is insane. Keep Gitmo. Use military tribunals. No sane person believes that closure of Gitmo will have any impact on how terrorists or people in the middle east consider America. Only the weak and feckless Europeans are impressed by our unilateral disarment. Only the Europeans adore how we self despise our own National heritage. Piss on them. Piss on the liberals who accomodate them.
I love America. I love the idea of America. I want America to be a strong vital force for good. I think there is no other place like America, and has saved the World from its own foolishness several times...God Bless America.
So much for the President that promised he was going to unite the country. We deserve a better leader than Barrack Hussein Obama....mmm...mmm...mmm.
Last Thursday, I was sitting in an office when the alarms went off at Fort Hood Texas. Immediately rumors started to fly, from some colleagues who had friends working at Darnell, that an attack was underway with mass casualties. Calls were made to lock doors, to shut off heating and air conditioning systems, then orders coming through loud speakers and the phone to stay off the streets. No one new exactly the extent of the attack, who was involved, how many, and what type of weapons they had.
As it turned out, it was bad, although isolated. This was the worst terrorist attack on a military installation inside the United States. Although the media (and Obama) chooses to cover this up as another case of a 'whacked out' disgruntled US service member who was victimized by anti-Muslim ridicule (all lies), the fact remains that this American born raghead decided to side with the Islamic terrorists and attack the very country that nurtured him. The liberal media will continue to portray this piece of shit as a victim, much like they do in their babbling about all the so-called 'innocent' Iraqi's and Afghan's killed by the awful US military. This Hasan character was a red blinking light, and no one did anything about his anti-American statements. He was not fit to be in uniform, let alone fit to live among us. Islam is incompatible with civilization. The sooner we realize this, the better.
I am capable of defending myself, but my own Government decided that it was unsafe for me, and all the soldiers that were killed or wounded to carry personal protection on a military base. They are dead, and I was simply lucky. I was lucky I wasn't standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. When seconds count, the authorities are always several minutes away. Had at least one person in that room had self defense, perhaps many more would be alive. We never learn.
If this song (hypothetically) represents the Democrat's sorry ass version of health care reform, then John Bulushi's response represents the American people's reaction to it.
I've been out of town the last couple of weeks and have been unable to post. I've spent a week in Atlanta, then on to Virginia. I'm very excited about the Governor's race. Since BO's inauguration, my optimism is returning. Not to mention the Congressional race in New York...
The Tea Party Movement is making a difference. The country club Republicans better get the hell out of the way. Who are the leaders of the movement....individual patriots all over the country.....WE, THE PEOPLE. Who is echoing their powerful voices....Mike Huckabee, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh...
If the Conservative candidate in the New York congressional race beats both the liberal Democrat and Liberal Republican, Game ON. With the election a few days away, the latest polling, alaRealClearPolitics.com, shows Hoffman gaining ground. Scozzafava led in late September, with 35% to 28% for Owens and 16% for Hoffman. As Hoffman took support away from Scozzafava, Owens took the lead over her by four to five points in mid-October. Now, with star endorsements from Palinetal, one poll has Hoffman leading with 31%, Owens at 27% and Scozzafava at 20%.
NEWARK, Del. — Finding character witnesses when you are 6 years old is noteasy. But there was Zachary Christie last week at a school disciplinarycommittee hearing with his karate instructor and his mother’s fiancé by hisside to vouch for him.Zachary’s offense? Taking a camping utensil that can serve as a knife, forkand spoon to school. He was so excited about recently joining the Cub Scoutsthat he wanted to use it at lunch. School officials concluded that he hadviolated their zero-tolerance policy on weapons, and Zachary now faces 45days in the district’s reform school.“It just seems unfair,” Zachary said, pausing as he practiced writing lower-case letters with his mother, who is home-schooling him while thefamily tries to overturn his punishment.
Spurred in part by the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings, many school districts around the country adopted zero-tolerance policies on thepossession of weapons on school grounds. More recently, there has been growing debate over whether the policies have gone too far. But, based on the code of conduct for the Christina School District, where Zachary is a first grader, school officials had no choice. They had tosuspend him because, “regardless of possessor’s intent,” knives are banned. But the question on the minds of residents here is: Why do school officials not have more discretion in such cases? “Zachary wears a suit and tie some days to school by his own choice becausehe takes school so seriously,” said Debbie Christie, Zachary’s mother, who started a Web site, helpzachary.com, in hopes of recruiting supporters topressure the local school board at its next open meeting on Tuesday. “He is not some sort of threat to his classmates.”Still, some school administrators argue that it is difficult to distinguish innocent pranks and mistakes from more serious threats, and that the policies must be strict to protect students.“There is no parent who wants to get a phone call where they hear that their child no longer has two good seeing eyes because there was a scuffle and someone pulled out a knife,” said George Evans, the president of the Christina district’s school board. He defended the decision, but added that the board might adjust the rules when it comes to younger children like Zachary.
Critics contend that zero-tolerance policies like those in the Christina district have led to sharp increases in suspensions and expulsions, oftenputting children on the streets or in other places where their behavior onlyworsens, and that the policies undermine the ability of school officials touse common sense in handling minor infractions.For Delaware, Zachary’s case is especially frustrating because last yearstate lawmakers tried to make disciplinary rules more flexible by giving local boards authority to, “on a case-by-case basis, modify the terms of the expulsion.” The law was introduced after a third-grade girl was expelled for a year because her grandmother had sent a birthday cake to school, along with a knife to cut it. The teacher called the principal — but not before using the knife to cut and serve the cake. In Zachary’s case, the state’s new law did not help because it mentions only expulsion and does not explicitly address suspensions. A revised law is being drafted to include suspensions.“We didn’t want our son becoming the poster child for this,” Ms. Christie said, “but this is out of control.” In a letter to the district’s disciplinary committee, State RepresentativeTeresa L. Schooley, Democrat of Newark, wrote, “I am asking each of you to consider the situation, get all the facts, find out about Zach and his family and then act with common sense for the well-being of this child.”
Education experts say that zero-tolerance policies initially allowed authorities more leeway in punishing students, but were applied in adiscriminatory fashion. Many studies indicate that African-Americans were several times more likely to be suspended or expelled than other students for the same offenses. “The result of those studies is that more school districts have removed discretion in applying the disciplinary policies to avoid criticism of being biased,” said Ronnie Casella, an associate professor of education at Central Connecticut State University who has written about school violence. He added that there is no evidence that zero-tolerance policies make schools safer. Other school districts are also trying to address problems they say have stemmed in part from overly strict zero-tolerance policies. In Baltimore, around 10,000 students, about 12 percent of the city’senrollment, were suspended during the 2006-7 school year, mostly for disruption and insubordination, according to a report by the Open SocietyInstitute-Baltimore. School officials there are rewriting the disciplinarycode, to route students to counseling rather than suspension. In Milwaukee, where school officials reported that 40 percent of ninth graders had been suspended at least once in the 2006-7 school year, the superintendent has encouraged teachers not to overreact to student misconduct. “Something has to change,” said Dodi Herbert, whose 13-year old son, Kyle,was suspended in May and ordered to attend the Christina district’s reform school for 45 days after another student dropped a pocket knife in his lap.
School officials declined to comment on the case for reasons of privacy. Ms. Herbert, who said her son was a straight-A student, has since beenhome-schooling him instead of sending him to the reform school.The Christina school district attracted similar controversy in 2007 when itexpelled a seventh-grade girl who had used a utility knife to cut windows out of a paper house for a class project.Charles P. Ewing, a professor of law and psychology at the University atBuffalo Law School who has written about school safety issues, said hefavored a strict zero-tolerance approach. “There are still serious threats every day in schools,” Dr. Ewing said,adding that giving school officials discretion holds the potential for discrimination and requires the kind of threat assessments that only law enforcement is equipped to make. In the 2005-6 school year, 86 percent of public schools reported at leastone violent crime, theft or other crime, according to the most recent federal survey. And yet, federal studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and another by the Department of Justice show that the rate ofschool-related homicides and nonfatal violence has fallen over most of thepast decade. Educational experts say the decline is less a result of zero-tolerance policies than of other programs like peer mediation, student support groupsand adult mentorships, as well as an overall decrease in all forms of crime.For Zachary, it is not school violence that has left him reluctant to return to classes. “I just think the other kids may tease me for being in trouble,” he said,pausing before adding, “but I think the rules are what is wrong, not me.”
This is the insanity lawyers cause. We need lawsuit reform, not only in matters such as this, but health care reform. It has to much harder to sue, otherwise this kind of insanity will continue. 1000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean is not even close to a good start.
A new insidious hate crime bill is making its way through Congress attached to a defense spending bill. Watch out, as this will chill free speech forever. This type of law was used in Canada and other countries to prevent Christian minister's from objecting to homosexual lifestyles. To speak out against homosexuality can be interpreted as a hate crime in Canada, Sweden, and other places where this attack to free and open debate flourishes. Next, the environmentalist wackos will make it an environmental hate crime to criticise their junk science. If you want to do something, send Congress, all members, a pink slip.

This pink slip registers your opposition to not only hate crimes pedophilia protection act, but to cap and tax, and Government run health care. It would cost nearly 300 bucks to mail correspondence to every member of Congress, but you can do it for less than 30 dollars. Go here to send a pink slip to the ENTIRE Congress. Get moving, get off the couch, get in the fight!!!!

THESE NEW TAXES AND THE SOCIALIST MEASURES BEING PROPOSED WILL COST YOU FAR MORE THAN 30 BUCKS, MY FRIENDS.
Maybe this is more fun than good. If you're deeply depressed about the Socialist takeover of our Government, perhaps this happy little tune will help you recall better times. Then get up and resume the fight. Every bullet counts.
Wall Street Journal's former Detroit reporter Paul Ingrassia, reports on the failed marriage between the UAW and GM management:
"Saturn's chief UAW apostle was Donald Ephlin, the visionary head of the union's GM department who passed away in 2000. Ephlin strongly believed that Detroit's auto makers and the UAW had to change from confrontation to collaboration.
Thus the Saturn contract, built on the Memorandum of Understanding, eliminated most of the work rules that strictly limit the tasks UAW members can perform. Workers would be called "technicians" and get just 80% of standard UAW wages but would share in Saturn's profits, allowing them to earn more if Saturn succeeded. Most Saturn executives and managers would be assigned a UAW counterpart, and the two would share in key decisions. The latter provision was overly idealistic, but certainly an improvement over constant and costly combat. Nonetheless, Saturn's labor innovations were attacked by UAW traditionalists, who coined the term "Ephlinism" to describe Saturn's heresies. Ephlin retired, on the defensive, in 1989. Mr. Smith retired a year later, his reputation besmirched by GM's chronic underperformance, just before Saturn built its first cars". Okay...the Saturn...the WE car (womens entertainment) car concept...with "no hassle" negotiation. Sweet, kind, and plastic. If any male wanted to chop at least an inch off his manhood, driving a WE car was the road to that end. No one can resurrect this stinking corpse, and GM is a zombie eatting off the living tissue of the American taxpayer. In fact, Detroit is the "Land of the Zombies". The economy didn't destroy the auto industry, the UAW and bad management did.
AARP is trying to kill its current members with its support of Obamacare. Unfortunately, many unhappy AARP members bought 3 year memberships, or even life memberships to this leftwing organization and can't easily leave. The AARP is much like ACORN, SEIU, UAW, Rainbow Coalition, who are hiding their political affiliations using tax free money. This video does a very good job, using edgy humor, to discredit much of what was put forward by MoveOn.org. The Will Ferrel ad was nothing more than cheer leading for the DNC health care bill while demonizing insurance companies. No one argues that health care reform is needed, but a Government takeover will not fix the problem. The GOP has a plan, and it makes sense. Why they didn't address it years ago is a fair question. However, what is important is what is the best thing to do now. In this case, a free market solution is what is needed. Here are some of my ideas:
1. Make it illegal to discriminate for pre-existing conditions. I know, this isn't so 'free market'. However, nothing makes it so difficult or impossible to change jobs or do something more useful in the ecomony than loosing health insurance after a diagnosis. Many patients, who have chronic conditiona that are easily and economically treated, or cancer survivors doing well cannot get insurance on the private market. In many cases, these people are healthier than the undiagnosed population at large because of their new found interests in diet, exercise, and following medical prescriptions. Discriminating against them and favoring undiagnosed walking time bombs doesn't seem right to me. Everyone is one diagnosis away from not being able to buy insurance, so we need to consider whether to continue to exclude these folks to be in the long term interest of our economy.
2. Allow you to shop outside your State for insurance. Nothing lowers costs better than competition. Instead of 10 or less insurance companies to chose from, you have hundreds. You ask yourself why don't States want you to do this? Its really very simple. In primarily BLUE States, the liberal legislatures and insurance regulators require their insurance companies to cover everything from Abortion to Viagra. If you just want hospitalization insurance with a drug prescription component, you can't by it. Some States require insurance policies to cover mental illness...so if you live in those States, your FORCED to subsidize these things whether you want to or not. Your subsidization of those unwanted services makes your insurance premiums sky high. Once again, blame the liberals. Why should your family subsidize Viagra prescriptions because of some geezer's woody problem? I'm just sayin. Sorry geezers, but most of you can afford to buy this stuff out of of pocket or you can buy more expensive insurance to cover it. Don't make the rest of us subsidize it. Folks, out of State shopping will allow you to go around your liberal State legislature and regulators to find a policy that's right for you, and one you can afford. I think, along these lines, we should go to a cash basis for routine care, and have insurance for surgeries, hospitalization, and catastrophic care. When I was growing up, you paid the Doctor directly for checkups, and had insurance for more serious problems. It was a better deal than including routine care inside an insurance premium. If your paying 500-1000 per month for individual/family coverage that includes routine care, what about instead paying 250-500 per month, and a 50-70 dollars cash fee for a Doctor's visit. You'll find its really a better bargain, especially if go one, two, or three times a year.
3. Allow citizens to purchase drugs from other countries. I've heard the safety issue used to thwart this...but do we believe in free enterprise or not? The individual must assume some responsibility if they buy prescription drugs that are not effective. Individual responsibility to evaluate the quality and risks....such a novel, American idea. The nanny State would of course reject this idea, but we must restore competition in the drug market. Many Americans already cross borders to buy meds at reduced cost, and this should be allowed for mail customers as well who do not live in border regions. Let free enterprise reign!!!
4. Reduce costly and endless testing for new drugs. If people wish to take experimental drugs, explain the risks and let them decide. Lets not front load the costs with unbelievably expensive studies that take years/decades to complete....so that when the imperial FDA decides its suitable for consumption...no one can afford it. Come on, no more 300 dollar pills. That insanity must stop. Allow people to decide whats best for them given the truth about the risks of all experimental drugs. Let responsible adults decide for themselves!!!
5. Allow people to deduct the cost of insurance premiums from their income tax. How simple is that? If corporations can do this, why can't individuals? Current law makes no sense.
6. Allow health savings accounts that roll over. Why should you loose money, as it is now, if you don't spend the full amount in a given year? That's ridiculous.
7. Law suit reform (Tort Reform). Lawyers are adding billions in cost to our health care system. We need to hold doctors and hospitals responsible for mistakes, but what is going on now is ludicrous. Yes, people who suffer need to have their medical needs taken care of, and any income losses replaced if they can't work or are disabled. No more jackpot justice. The former Presidential candidate John Edwards made million upon millions of dollars chasing ambulances. Who paid for John Edwards 28,000 square foot mansion and 400 dollar haircuts.....we did. His legal wins were passed on to millions of insurance rate payers in higher premiums. That has to stop. Reasonable compensation yes, jackpot justice....hell no. PS, we also have to do a better job of getting bad doctors out of practice using a National database that will flag and prevent incompetents from crossing State lines after loosing their license.
All of these things will lower insurance cost, and create the free market we need...that doesn't exist today.

This was never reported in the MSM (reported in foreign media). It reflects the continued indoctrination of students by left wing teachers. Here, a teacher, who has a very poor command of the English language herself, attacks a poor little girl who's father is in the military. Again, parents need to find out what is going on in their children's classroom. Perhaps all of this is simply a small glimpse into why our kids are running behind the world in math and science scores. We spend more on education than any country and get the poorest result. See why here.
Government Motors, formerly General Motors, has a new add campaign offering a 60 day money back guarantee on their products. The idea, of course, is to reduce consumer risk in buying one of their cars over foreign products with a better reputation of quality and economy. Its certainly about time, but I have a major problem with it.
The problem is that its still a nationalized Government owned company. I'm still outraged that this Company came to the imperial Congress asking for our money to compensate for their mismanagement, but also from Union hacks to preserve their unsustainable benefits. All of us who owned mutual funds inside 401K plans that held old GM stock were thrown under the bus. No bail out for us, as old GM stock was rendered worthless. Not only did old GM stockholders pay taxes that bailed GM out; they paid again in old GM worthless stock.
Screw GM. I will never buy another GM car as long as I live, or as long as its a Government owned nationalized industry. Anything the UAW manufactures that WE purchase turns into subsidies to the DNC jackass party. I encourage others not to reward both the Government and the Unions that subsidized the DNC. Screw the Imperial Congress too, who didn't listen to us when we told them to stop bailing out badly managed companies. Screw them all.
Yes he can, and yes they did. If you have kids in school, you better start paying attention to the curriculum, the textbooks, and the political affiliations of the teachers. Using taxpayer funded teachers and school facilities to promote a political agenda is absolutely unacceptable. More here and here.
Will we ever see the last of Jimmy Carter? This babbling idiot, who very much like our current President, benefited from public anger against the incumbent Party to achieve political success. Once again, an unprepared weak politician was launched into the most powerful office in the world by simple fate. In Jimmy's day, it was President Gerald Ford. Gerald, appointed VP by Nixon after Agnew's resignation for corruption, later pardoned Nixon. This obviously created much angst throughout the country (the appearance of quid pro quo). The Jimmy Carter 'Southern Christian' image sold to eradicate Government corruption seemed to be a needed change in the country. Holy Mother Maybelle, what a phucking mistake we made. I made it too. I was in college, my first Presidential election to vote... my only defense was youth and a head full of mush. However, as fate would have it, I paid dearly for my mistake, as did the rest of the country. Is this scenario starting to sound familiar?
After graduation, the double digit inflation, double digit interest rates, unmerciful gas prices and lines, and devastating unemployment had me economically reeling and barely surviving in 1978. Not only was Jimmy Carter's domestic policy the Moby Dick of policy disasters, but his foreign policy was a major Charlie Foxtrot. His failure to support the American friendly Shah of Iran against the Islamic fascist Ayatollah Khomeini lead to the takeover of the American embassy. Held hostage for well over a year, that Embassy crisis put on world display the weak feckless third rate leadership of an American President.
Jimmy's anti-Semitism grows with his age, and his recent book, "Peace, Not Apartheid" is on the Osama Bin Laden best seller list. Yes, our former President's book was recommended reading for terrorists. Osama recently puked that out in a recently released tape. You might say, Jimmy Carter first gave Islamic fascists hope that they could dominate the world.
The similarities of Jimmy Carter foreign and domestic policies to the Obama administration are compelling and perhaps frightening. All that liberalism-socialism means is shared misery for all. My hope and prayer is a new generation will arise and see the danger. Perhaps the recent demonstrations on Washington are just the beginning of a movement to restore the Republic that politicians of both parties have been chipping away at for decades. Term limits, term limits, and term limits will curb corruption in the Government.
In the meantime, I just wish Jimmy Carter would STFU, just STFU, please please please STFU. For the record, I hate Jimmy Carter far worse than Obama....but then again Obama has only been in office a few months. I must admit I'm getting there however.....so call me a racist when Obama achieves equilibrium with Carter. I just don't phucking care what you liberals call me anymore. It just doesn't matter.
Need I say more. The Bush years on this chart (GRAY) INCLUDE Iraq and Afghanistan spending. The RED are the the OBAMA deficits. Hussein has tripled the deficit projections this year, and will double it in outgoing years. This isn't counting the Health Care debacle the Obamanator is foisting on us. Much more red would have to be added to illustrate that...
We are in big trouble if we don't make some changes in Congress in 2010 folks. Bush's spending was bad enough, but compared to Obama, Bush looks like a genius. Massive inflation is on the way. Inflation is the most insidious tax increase of all, when our dollar will have the purchasing power of the Mexican peso. Add to this mess the potential costs of the Cap and Trade (Crap and Tax) bill, which will make energy, manufacturing, and everything we buy in America cost more.
A Mexican, an Arab, and a Texas girl are in the same bar.
When the Mexican finishes his beer, he throws his glass in the air, pulls out his pistol, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In Mexico, our glasses are so cheap we don't need to drink with the same one twice.'
The Arab, obviously impressed by this, drinks non-alcohol beer (cuz he's a Muslim!), throws it into the air, pulls out his AK-47, and shoots the glass to pieces. He says, 'In the Arab World, we have so much sand to make glasses that we don't need to drink twice with the same glass either.'
The Texas girl, cool as a cucumber, picks up her beer, downs it in one gulp, throws the glass into the air, whips out her 45, and shoots the Mexican and the Arab. Catching her glass, setting it on the bar, and calling for a refill, she says, 'In Texas, we have so many illegal aliens that we don't have to drink with the same ones twice.'
SIMPLE QUESTION: Watch them RUN!!!....Watch them FUMBLE!!!....Watch the THUGS crowd you OUT!!!....Note even one says YOU will LOOSE the Medicare Advantage policy...Note that if there is NO rationing, you HEAR one SAY...He'll put a FENCE at the top of the hill to avoid the AVALANCHE below...no rationing, HUH??? I thought you would be able to keep your insurance???...Broken promises??. Is this change you voted for???
Shouldn't Presidents NOT send politically charged curriculum directly to the classroom? If Bush had done this, it would have been necessary to scrape the ACLU and liberal MSM off the ceiling. Prompting teachers to ask, "what is the President inspiring you to do?", or "how can you help the President?"....you've got to be kidding??? This one is out of Saul Alenski's playbook. Some apt words to describe this...frightening, sickening, creepy. I would expect something like this to occur in North Korea, but not the USA. Obama is not the "Dear Leader". Look at this one as well.
Fox News: Jones afterward issued a blanket apology for his past statements and said the petition (that our Government caused 9-11) does not reflect his views. An aide said Jones didn't carefully review the petition at the time. But that claim was swiftly disputed by 911Truth.org. "He did agree with that statement and he did sign on to it," 911 Truth.org spokesman Mike Berger told FOX News in a telephone interview from St. Louis on Friday. Berger said the group's "original board members individually confirmed all signatories that had signed on to the statement." The calls for resignation mounted.
Isn't it interesting, that candidate Barack Obama, said Reverend Wright didn't represent his views? Same bull shit line. Furthermore, the Republicans were using 'guilt by association' when Sarah Palin brought to light Obama's past associations with radicals and criminals. None of that seemed to matter to the press, as they focused on BristolPalin's pregnancy or creating cruel and false accusations about Trig Palin. How much longer will the media "willingly suspend all disbelief" about the views, associations, and character of Barack Obama?
The Obama administration is socialist, corrupt, and the most unAmerican of all who have ever served in the White House.
What is interesting is the complete MSM blackout of building tensions between British citizens and Muslim groups that are continuing their campaign to introduce Sharia Law into the English court system. Although this is taken from an Islamic perspective, its very good in showing most of the violence was started by the pro-Islamic group called UAF (United Against Fascism) against the anti Islamic extremism group, called the EDL (English Defense League). Obviously, the liberal immigration policies in England will eventually bring the country to civil unrest, perhaps even civil war. As the English and Europeans are facing accelerated Islamification, its certainly a harbinger of things to come in the United States. Keep your powder dry.
Lexington, Virginia, January 5, 1866. Mr. C. Chauncey Burr. My Dear Sir: I am very much obliged to you for your letter of the 27th ult., and for the number of the 'Old Guard' which you kindly sent me. I am glad to know that the intelligent and respectable people at the North are true and conservative in their opinions, for I believe by no other course can the right interests of the country be maintained. All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should b e preserved, and that the government as originally organised should be administered in purity and truth. If such is the desire of the North, there can be no contention between the two sections, and all true patriots will unite in advocating that policy which will soonest restore the country to tranquility and order, and serve to perpetuate true republicanism. Please accept my thanks for your advocacy of right and liberty and the kind sentiments which you express toward myself, and believe me to be, with great respect, Your obedient servant, R. E. Lee.
Unfortunately, the return to the Republicanism that our founding fathers established never was restored as Robert E. Lee hoped. This argument is still the heart and soul of the Tea Party movement. Hillbilly White Trash had this article posted with the title, "everything new is simply forgotten old". Blazing truth. Deo Vindice.
How amusing it is watching talking heads pontificate on how the Obama administration appointed a self avowed commie as a senior Obama advisor. They speculate that the White House didn't adequately vet this guy, or perhaps Obama just didn't know Van Jones . Sound familiar?
The President also said he didn't know Bill Ayer's was a former Underground Weatherman, which was a domestic terrorist organization in the 1960s. When asked why he sat drinking coffee and other adult beverages in Bill Ayer's living room during a meet the candidate event...Obama said I thought he was an English professor.
The President said he sat in Rev. Wright's congregation for 20 long years, and never heard one of his anti American racist rants on Black Liberation Philosophy. How is this possible? By the way, Black Liberation Philosophy and Communism are directly linked and mutually supportive.
And now the Messiah appointed Van Jones to be his Green Jobs Czar, and Obama conveniently didn't know Jones was not only a communist, but believed that our own Government was the force behind 9-11.
As Hillary Clinton once said, "one would have to willingly suspend disbelief".
Barrack Obama is a socialist radical. Believe that. Where is McCarthy when you need him?
PS. Wasn't Sarah Palin right all along, when she said Obama "pal-ed around with terrorists (i.e. Bill Ayers). Too bad the McCain campaign tried to distance themselves from those comments. No truer words were ever spoken. We have seen the warnings Sarah tried to communicate brought to full fruition.
Interposition, in the context of the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions, refers to an asserted right of U.S. states to protect their individual interests from federal violation or any abridgement of states' rights deemed by those states to be dangerous or unconstitutional. In the words of the Virginia Resolution of 1798,
That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the plain sense and intention of the instrument constituting the compact; as no further valid that they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of other powers, not granted by the said compact, the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.
By this statement, Madison asserts that state bodies are "duty bound to interpose" or stand between federal encroachment on the rights of a sovereign state. The procedural legal details of how this interposition is enacted is not explicit. The Virginia Resolution thus provides what is sometimes considered to be the more tempered Madisonian view to Jefferson's Kentucky Resolution that calls for nullification of federal laws. It is often used in conjunction with nullification, which is said by its advocates to give states the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal law which that the state has deemed unconstitutional.
Debra Medina, Republican, is running for Governor of Texas. When asked about how she might help preserve 10thAmendment powers of the State, she mentioned potential use of the Interposition Doctrine. This is a fascinating prospect. Perhaps Texas, under her able leadership can lead the way in showing other States how to nullify the craziness of the Congress and the Supreme Court. States need to reassert their powers, and something more drastic has to be done. Washington is not listening to us, and the Interposition Doctrine is a tool that can potentially be used to dial back the Washington DC power grab.
The truth spoken by someone who has been there and escaped the siren song of Government dependence.
Back on Uncle Sam's Plantation Star Parker - Syndicated Columnist (who is African American, in case some of you liberal pinheads are put off by the "racist" language).
Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam's Plantation . I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas -- a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism. I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation's poor out of poverty.A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from "How do I take care of myself?" to "What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?"Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems -- the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.Through God's grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996 which was passed by a Republican controlled Congress. I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism. But, incredibly, we are now going in the opposite direction. Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, "Thank you, Suh."Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.
There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.In an op-Ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post , Mr.Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus."This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending -- it's a strategy for America 's long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, health care, and education."Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place "with unprecedented transparency and accountability."Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.
Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 -- The War on Poverty -- which President Johnson said "...does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty." Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births. It's not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama's invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.
Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be? "The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money." TRUER WORDS WERE NEVER SPOKEN !
In order to know a community, one must observe the style of its funerals and know what manner of men they bury with the most ceremony- Mark Twain.
We excuse our own guilt, and even more so, the guilt of those who have so corrupted our community, our country, and our world to the point we don't recognize evil in any form- Poor Wilber.
Ted Kennedy questioned Judge Alito's integrity when Alito was at Princeton. As you may know, Kennedy was kicked out of Harvard for cheating. So when it comes to questionable integrity at college he knows what he is talking about." --Jay Leno Kennedy's own remarks on Katrina: "The rich with cars got out. The poor drowned". (its been commented how appropriate that line might be for his tombstone).
- Killed a young women while driving drunk from a party.
-Left the scene of the accident and bought off the legal system.
-Made it possible for the massive illegal alien invasion.
- Supported the massive welfare dependence on Government (aka Great Society and public welfare).
-Promoted Union thuggery by public works corruption.
-
-Promoted the legal practice of child murder (abortion). Mary Jo isn't the only blood on his hands.
-Snorting coke and guzzling booze, womanizing, and participating in such debauchery that even got his nephew involved in a rape charge (and escaped by the usual Kennedy talent for buying off judges, prosecutors, and witnesses).
I will not apologize for being insensitive. This drunken bastard has done more to destroy my America than Stalin, Hitler, or even Mao ever thought possible. It's an absolute disgrace this lout is planted at Arlington.
Why doesn't some clever reporter ask Obama if the money spent to keep Ted Kennedy alive, given his terminal condition and age, was worth the cost? Isn't this the question Sarah Palin raised in the first place (not about Kennedy, but whether the Democrats want to ration care away from the old an dying)? Or is this Obamacare plan much like the Animal Farm rules, where some "animals" have more rights than others.
This crime has faced a complete media blackout. I don't even want to describe this crime its so horriffic. The perps are currently on trial in Knoxville Tennessee, but few people have heard of the torture, rape, and murder of two white kids who were carjacked by a gang of black thugs while on a dinner date one night in 2007. The reason, of course, is MSM bias concerning black on white crime. You can bet if this were white thugs raping, torturing, and murdering two black victims, this would be headline news 24/7 in every MSM outlet in America. Click here to read lastest details of the crime. Don't let the media black this out.
The cars featured are "the kind of cars the Obama administration has been pushing: small cars with high fuel economy, hybrid technology, “alternative fuel” capability, etc." says Alex Epstein of the Ayn Rand Center, who doesn't see this as the exciting turnaround GM does. "GM has already gone down a less extreme version of this road — and it proved to be the road to bankruptcy. Induced by irrational government fuel economy laws and union laws to make myriad small, fuel-efficient cars with overpaid union workers, GM lost enormous amounts of money. By contrast, GM and other American automakers made money on larger, safer, more luxurious cars (which could more easily absorb the higher labor costs) including SUVs and Muscle Cars — cars the administration decries".
Government Motors, building overpriced, under powered, UAW built pieces of crap. Lets all sing the Internationale.... The much awaited Chevy Volt comes in at a whooping 40K. Gotta pay Union wages adding,...of course... the Soprano's "skim".
No self respecting conservative should be caught dead or alive in one. If you buy one however, bring an extra long extension cord. Oh by the way....don't you have to plug it into one of those outlet thingies...and aren't those damn things powered by a belching coal fired power plant in many areas of the country?
The "Ratman" says, "I don't need to read no Stink'in bill". The cap and tax bill that will raise consumer prices on everything we buy or manufacture in the USA. Those enormous nostrils of his are certainly adding to Green house gas emmissions....ruining both our economy and the Earth's ozone layer. I believe a squirrel could build a nest in there.
Will Obama ever stop campaigning? Apparently, he doesn't know difference between campaigning and governing. Many independents hired him to fix the economy, not what he is apparently doing. Obama has managed to triple the deficit while incredibly continuing to blame Bush for the disastrous affects of his own policies (which are currently launching USA red ink into orbit). He passed a massive spending bill that no one in Congress had time to read. If they had read it, they would know all the spending in that bill only grows Government and not jobs. That’s the fatal flaw of Socialism, as it consumes money (wealth) and produces nothing in return. Gradually, due to high taxes, the wealth producers become unmotivated to produce, and the entire system goes bankrupt. One only has to look at California or Michigan to understand what high taxes and big government does to an economy. Government spending for government only transfers the same poor dollar from one pocket to another without adding one cent of value. We’ll pass the same poor old worn out dollar around and around and around and around until it gradually disintegrates. It cannot be used to build or grow another job. See 'Porkulus', why it won't work in the Must See segment on this site.
Big government, once started, is almost impossible to stop. The reason is simple. Big Government hires most of the voters. Once you hire voters, it’s impossible to reduce growth in Government because the hired ‘voters’ will not risk loosing raises or jobs. Therefore, hired voters will only support politicians that protect their Government jobs. For example, where I live its almost impossible to stop school district spending. The reason is the school system is the largest employer in the county. Every time a bond measure is voted on to build new, and sometimes unneeded facilities, those hired voters and their families turn out in droves to pass the measure. The result, our taxes go up, and up, and up. My only defense is to move out of the county. If enough of us do so, the school budget collapses.
The Soviets were absolutely terrified to move to a capitalistic system, as they had a guaranteed job, a guaranteed health care system, and a guaranteed pension. It really didn’t matter how poor the job was, how sorry the health care was, or even how rotten the pension. That’s why Socialist systems have to collapse under their own weight, as people will cling to a government provided peanut butter sandwich instead of working for a steak. Gradually, even the high and mighty Government runs out of peanut butter. I’ve seen that phenomenon time and time again. Apparently, some people fear both failure and success. Americans have always been unique in that respect, in that we are skeptical of government, and want minimal Government interference. Anyone who wants Government to run their life is not a true American. I fear that as our borders are flooded by immigrants who come here to reap economic reward rather than relief from Government oppression, the numbers of Socialists will eventually overpower freedom seeking Americans.
Government dependence, once it takes root, is a terrible thing. Even today, we see the destruction of LBJ’s Great Society affect on the black community. A system that herded them into ghettos, rewarded them for not working, rewarded them for having children out of wedlock, and permanent creating an entitlement mindset and Government dependence. Although they have been the objects of discrimination, that alone cannot explain or excuse the entire breakdown of the black family and its moral culture.
We cannot wait around for the Government to do something for us, but must take action ourselves. Only by doing so will provide greater power and prosperity. Government dependence is the hemlock Obama is wants us all to drink. The President is like the serpent in the Garden of Eden, tempting us to eat of this socialist fruit. In the name of all that’s Holy, do not take a bite, lest capitalism and free enterprise die forever in America.
To Congress: We are mad as hell, and we're coming for you.... Nancy and the rest of the Socialists . No more spending, no more cap and trade energy taxes, no more illegal immigration, no more government takeovers of corporations, no moving Gitmo terrorists to the USA, no more apologizing for our history, no more government promotion of homosexuality and immorality, and absolutely no takeover of our health care system.
Mom in U.K. Fined for Grieving Too Long at Baby Son's Funeral Tuesday,August 04, 2009 * A grieving mother in Britain was fined $173 for spending too long ather son's coffin before it was taken away for cremation. Terrie Rouse, 32, said her grief turned to shock when officials told her she had taken too long to say goodbye, The Daily Mail reported."The vicar had asked if I would like to spend a bit more time saying goodbye," she said. "I sat by the coffin for 10 minutes, telling my son how much we loved him and begging him not to be scared. "Officials at the crematorium, run by a local English council, impose an extra charge if any funeral runs over its 30-minute slot. However, the couple's funeral directors said there was plenty of time for the next funeral which was not due to take place for another 50 minutes. Rouse's partner, Lee Smythe, said the fee was "sick and disgusting." Terrie was weeping hysterically," he said. "She just wanted a few extra minutes to say goodbye to our much-loved little boy."The couple's son, Zane, died at five weeks from Sudden Infant Death Syndromeon April 9. The family waited three months before they could have a funeral to allow for tests to be carried out."It was distressing enough having to wait for the funeral because we were left in limbo, but this has just made it all worse," Smythe said.
As the Good Book says, 'a time to live, a time to die', and now funerals in the UK are on a stop watch. Even grieving is rationed, along with compassion. Beam me up, Scotty
Liberalism and government growth cannot produce wealth. As Margaret Thatcher stated, the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Case in point is California, the ‘IOU’ State. They have already run out of ‘other peoples’ money. As this State considers its future, it doesn’t look rosy.
Unfortunately, liberals forget one key ingredient that makes Government programs possible. Someone, in the food chain has to deliver the goods, so non-productive parasites can feed. If no one finds it worth the effort to work, no one will. The Soviets used to joke, “They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work”. Production and productivity under socialism collapses, and the nation state of birdies peeping for their government provided worm are no longer fed. In California, the mommy birds are leaving the nest....avoiding a very hostile business climate.
Good luck Californians, in that you may end up digging for your own worms. The Governator will more than likely wing his way to Washington.... looking for big, fat, green, worms to feed all the Collyfornia peepers (if they can find anything left). Its going to be a cold winter.
Here's a little tale to ponder... An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that.
After screwing capitalist pigs, I always like to burn one.
