Stop Using "Class Warfare".

2011-10-10T16:41:00.000-07:00

Referring to "Class" anything is a Marxist term, and Republicans shouldn't repeat it.

What Obama is doing is pitting American against American, and failing to unite the country to rebuild the economy. We need to lower and broaden the tax system, whether its the fair tax, or flat tax, or some combination inbetween.

Republicans need to drop the "class warfare" phrase-ology like a plague. We do not, and I repeat we DO NOT have a class system in the United States. Wise up, candidates and GOP. Stop using Marxist rhetoric, or it will blow up in your face. Your income level does NOT put you into a CLASS

Rick Perry...Is He a Conservative.?

2011-09-07T19:12:00.000-07:00

I think Rick Perry has conservative views on capital punishment, taxes, and abortion. However, I have grave concerns about his Democrat past. He certainly can never claim to be a former Reagan Democrat, as he stood against President Reagan twice. After the disaster that was the Jimmy Carter first term, Perry stood with Carter for a second bite at the apple.

After President Reagan's first term, Perry stood against him again as part of the "Walter Mondale for President" campaign in Texas. As though that wasn't enough, he ran against Reagan's Vice President Herbert (George) Bush as Albert Gore's campaign manager.

I still don't appreciate or understand why, even in 2008, that Perry endorsed one of the most socially liberal candidates in the race, Rudy Giuliani. In his governance of Texas, he stubbornly stood against parental rights by writing an edict (executive order) to inject Gardisil (a anti-cancer vaccine) into twelve year old school girls. Gardisil only "worked" if the girls were sexually active. It took the State Legislature to write and pass a bill to turn off Perry's executive order. Despite parental outrage, Perry refused to recind his order.

The Texas corridor, the eminent domain confiscation of rancher land to hand over to a foreign company to build a toll road is another debacle Perry led. Once again, the Legislature turned him back. So much for private property rights.

Rick Perry also signed the Texas version of the Dream Act providing in-State tuition to illegal alien children (who meet specific requirements), and he continues to NOT support a fence on the border. The Texas Dream act is another one of those pieces of Legislation that acts as a magnet for illegal border crossers, and unfenced borders are easily crossed.

The history of Rick Perry certainly shows that he is stubborn. This is a trait that reminds me of our former President Bush, in terms of his lack of willingness to change the strategy in Iraq (i.e. stay the course). Perry is weak on border issues, is conflicted on eminent domain (for profit), conflicted on the issue of parental rights, and hasn't yet explained how his conservative epiphany came about after fighting the election and re-election of Ronald Reagan.

As Sarah Palin said, we need not worry so much about replacing Barack Obama, but "who and what we are replacing him with".

This is Obamaween....The Obama Depression

The Gold Standard

2011-07-01T16:24:00.000-07:00

I'm not an expert on currency. I do know that when we were on the gold standard, an American citizen couldn't legally own gold bullion. In 1933 Franklin D. Roosevelt made it illegal for any person in the United States to own hoards of gold. The ban was not lifted until legislation was signed in 1974 by President Gerald Ford. There likely isn't enough gold to run our economy, so what would our country do if there wasn't a sufficient supply of gold backed currency to run multi billion dollar companies and pay salaries of millions of employees?

I've always wondered what makes gold valuable in the first place. You can't eat it, plant it, or shoot it (well, you could mold it into bullets). In a financial collapse, I would rather own agricultural land, non-modified seed, a plow, a good mule, firearms, and plenty of ammo. So, whats so great about gold? Pieces of cardboard (called baseball cards) are sometimes more valuable. Maybe we should turn to baseball cards to back our currency?

I also find it amazing that sellers of gold tell us that gold may double in value, yet are willing to sell me their valuable gold for my worthless paper currency. I just don't get that....it doesn't compute. If the brokers thought what they were advertising were true, why wouldn't they hang on to their gold and double their fortunes? I don't know folks, you tell me.

Palin's Version of Paul Revere was RIGHT, Exactly Right

2011-06-09T15:57:00.000-07:00

Palin's description of the events of Paul Revere's midnight ride was perfectly correct. Let the historical record speak for itself:

From: Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer (Oxford University Press 1994):

"A townsman remembered that 'repeated gunshots, the beating of drums and the ringing of bells filled the air.'.... Along the North Shore of Massachusetts, church bells began to toll and the heavy beat of drums could be heard for many miles in the night air." "

Paul Revere’s own account of his warning to the British that night:

I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms.

Three Things to Know About Islam

2011-03-13T09:55:00.000-07:00

PM of UK, Cameron Will Say:

2011-02-06T15:10:00.000-08:00

"When a white person holds objectionable views - racism, for example - we rightly condemn them. But when equally un"acceptable views or practices have come from someone who isn't white, we've been too cautious, frankly even fearful, to stand up to them."

He calls it, "muscular liberalism". I call it coming to one's senses. Radical Islam is changing the UK and Europe, and they better wake up. They must stand against those values that don't measure up to their National identity, or lose it forever. Same goes for here in the USA.

It will be an interesting speech, certaining more interesting than "The King's Speech".

TSA: Traumatic Sexual Assault

2010-11-20T18:55:00.000-08:00

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, they want to play with my ding-a-ling. We are from the Government, and here to help you.

It is seriously doubtful that the virtual strip searches will stop attacks like the underwear bomber. Don't you remember that he got on an international flight without a passport? Wouldn't following correct procedures and profiling individuals who travel from and too the Middle East more carefully be more useful.... rather than feeling up grandma and grandpa going traveling on Thanksgiving?

In the end, all the underwear bomber ended up doing was roasting his own weenie. Passengers put and end to the episode like 100 percent of the attacks in the past. Who needs TSA, just give passengers the right to carry weapons. We'll take care of the bastards.

How about profiling instead, focusing our limited resources on the people that might actually commit a terrorist attack? Gee, what a novel idea, turn our attention on the THREAT instead of this politically correct method of treating everyone who buys a plane ticket as potential terrorists...even three year old little girls. Metal detectors and baggage screening we'll continue to put up with, but not this virtual strip search and groping. Simply add profiling to strip search and grop the likely terrorist.

I've had enough. Please, write or call your Congressmen to put a stop to this. One compromise is to make our Government officials go through this search procedure everyday they enter their own office building and get on a Government aircraft. No exceptions. I want to see Janet Napolitano's tits groped and groin felt up every time she gets on an airplane. This would include our President and his family every single time they board Air Force One. When that happens, I'll shut up.

Intellectual Terrorism....From an Article by Dr. Tomislav Sunic

2010-10-24T09:44:00.000-07:00

"Although America prides itself on its First Amendment, free speech in higher education and the media is subject to didactic self censorship. Expression of politically incorrect opinions can ruin the careers of, or hurt the grades of those who are “naive” enough to trust their First Amendment rights. It is a growing practice among tenured professors in the USA to give passing grades to many of their minority students in order to avoid legal troubles with their peers at best, or to avoid losing a job at worst.

In a similar vein, according the the Fabius-Gayssot law, proposed by a French Communist deputy and adopted in 1990, a person uttering in public doubts about modern antifascist victimology risks serious fines or imprisonment. A number of writers and journalists from France and Germany committed suicide, lost their jobs, or asked for political asylum in Syria, Sweden or America.

Similar repressive measures have been recently enacted in multicultural Australia, Canada and Belgium. Many East European nationalist politicians, particularly from Croatia, wishing to visit their expatriate countrymen in Canada or Australia are denied visa by those countries on the grounds of their alleged extremist nationalistic views. For the time being Russia, and other post-communist countries, are not subject to the same repressive thought control as exists in the USA or the European Union. Yet, in view of the increasing pressure from Brussels and Washington, this may change.

Contrary to widespread beliefs, state terror, i.e. totalitarianism is not only a product of violent ideology espoused by a handful of thugs. Civic fear, feigned self-abnegation, and intellectual abdication create an ideal ground for the totalitarian temptation. Intellectual terrorism is fueled by a popular belief that somehow things will straighten out by themselves. Growing social apathy and rising academic self-censorship only boost the spirit of totalitarianism. Essentially, the spirit of totalitarianism is the absence of all spirit".

Found this, of all places, in Pravda. Can you imagine, the former Soviet mouthpiece more honest than the American and European press? The worm has turned. Dr. Sunic realizes the road to totalitarianism is built with the bricks of political correctness, hate speech legislation, and intellectual dishonesty. Read the entire piece here. Its an article from 2002, in the archives, but non-the-less timely and on target.

Stuck on Stupid

2010-10-17T07:29:00.000-07:00

Margaret Thatcher tried to save Britain in 1978. If you read her Conservative manifesto here, its an unnerving comparison of liberal and Labour party versus common sense conservative values. I say unnerving, as you can change the date from 1978 to 2010, and her criticisms of liberals are applicable to Barack Obama's vision for America. British and American liberals are definitely stuck on stupid, and America in particular has been since the days of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Down with Progressives and progressivism, as its just socialism with a fake mustashe.

I Smell a Rat...Have the Anti-Federalist Founders Been Proven Right?

2010-10-16T08:54:00.000-07:00

Were the Anti-Federalists Wrong?
Wayne D. Carlson

In the great debates that occurred in each of the 13 Independent Republics, to consider the momentous question of rejection or ratification of the newly proposed Constitution in 1787, there were no small number of great and learned men that vehemently opposed, and warned against, the adoption of that document. History remembers them as the "Antifederalists". In Virginia alone, no less than "the trumpet of the Revolution", Patrick Henry stood opposed. George Mason, who is credited with writing the Virginia Bill of Rights which became the model for the Constitution's, joined him in opposition. It was Richard Henry Lee that first presented to Congress, in June of 1776, the resolution that the thirteen "United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." He too, joined Henry and Mason in principled objection to ratification of the Constitution, as written. As editor Isaac Kramnick states in the introduction to The Federalist Papers, "In state after state, often only a handful of votes separated the pro-Constitution forces and the defeated opponents of the Constitution. In light of the growing centralization and tyranny of the Federal government today, perhaps it is high time we considered some of the arguments of those like Henry who said, "I smell a rat".

Professor Marshall L. DeRosa, in his 1991 "The Confederate Constitution of 1861:An Inquiry into American Constitutionalism", notes that the primary objection of those opposing this new Constitution, lay in its ambiguity concerning the "locus", or place, in which ultimate sovereignty resided. Sovereignty, of course, denotes supreme political authority, which the Antifederalists were anxious to preserve to their States..... read more here.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The individual States must press their 10th Admendment rights, or our Republic will perish. Thank God for the brave Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer for resisting the oppressive Federal monster. Hurrah for Arizona! Now, our own Federal capital has joined forces with 13 other foriegn nations to to fight one of our own soveriegn States. This is disgraceful. If anything should make a patriot pick up a rifle and march to sound of gunfire is this outrage lead by the Progressive Marxist Obama administration.

Its time, tea party time if you will, to chop down this huge Federal bureaucracy that has forgotten that it works for us, not the other way around. By all thats in you, resist, resist, RESIST>

Growing Resistance In Europe to Sharia..Part II

2010-10-05T17:20:00.000-07:00

Continuation of the growing unrest among native born Swedes of Jihadi migration. This is what I don't understand about the left. Why would one desire or want to import foreign cultures that refuse to assimilate, and ultimately want to replace your Constitutional democracy with Sharia. This is insane...like deliberately swallowing a toxic substance. Some musical groups, such as Saga, are part of the young Swedish movement to change the left wing Government thats tolerated a massive invasion of Muslims into Sweden in the last 20 years. Hear Saga sing here, as you watch Paris burning during the Jihadi riots.

Energy Policy and Terrorism

2010-09-18T07:34:00.000-07:00

One thing I can't get out of my head, was the recording of the 911 call from a young women trapped in one of the towers in NY. She was burning to death. I will never forget or forgive this attack, nor loose any memory of who launched it.

This attack represents a monument of political correctness, and feckless US policy over the last 30 years (since the Iranian hostage crisis in the late 70s). As long as we continue to deny that the ideology of Islam is the problem. We need to immediately develop strategies to stop oil rich Islamic republics from funding the expansion and construction of mosques and madrassas that spread this vile ideology all over the world. Major Hassan, the Fort Hood murderer learned the lessons of jihad in the USA.

We need to build nuclear power plants yesterday, clean coal power plants, and move to compressed natural gas to fuel our trucking fleets as quickly as we can. We need to drill everywhere we can off the US coast, in Anwar, everywhere there are domestic supplies of oil. We must make oil less important, and screwing around with wind turbines and solar isn't going to do it. Green energy will not supply enough energy for a modern economy. I would use NASA funding to create a Manhattan type project to develop hydrogen cell technology. We need to get moving.

We must starve the so-called Muslim nations from expanding jihad all over the world with oil profits. We are indeed complicit in spreading this hateful ideology if we don't get a energy policy that makes sense. That is what the West must do, and stop lying to ourselves that this is a benign religion of peace that's been hijacked. Islam IS the problem. We need to ban the immigration of Islamists into the USA as persona's non gratas, just as Nazis and fascists. Enough is enough.

Stop the Denial...This is A Holy War

2010-09-11T15:42:00.000-07:00

The ground zero mosque, and other mosques scheduled for construction are the Islamic HQ's to carry on the jihad inside the United States. These buildings are far larger than their Muslim populations could use or support. They are being constructed for the future with foreign money primarily from Wahhabi's in Saudi and Iran.

The irrational liberals, who defend these incursions into the West, will be the first targets once jihadi political dominance is achieved.

There is no freedom where Sharia rules. This is a holy war from the Muslim perspective. They do not want duel state solutions in Palestine or even peaceful coexistence with democracies in the West. Their goal is to bring the entire world under Sharia, if it takes the next 1000 years.

I believe Imam Rauf wants to be the interim World Caliphate, and the successful completion of the GZ Mosque would create the optics of a great Muslim "victory". Although the "victory" was certainly a cowardly one, the completion of this shrine will bring Rauf great prestige and influence in the Muslim "world" he seeks to consolidate power. If you'll observe saw some of the video of Rauf's visits into Muslim countries, you can't help but notice they seem to treat him as royalty.

This entire thing is about Muslim supremacy throughout the world. Nothing else.

We do need to encourage new nationalism in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. Before Islam turned them dark, they were great civilizations. The people of these countries need to be REMINDED who they were before this Arab cult descended upon them and turned them into third world sh!t holes.

We need Western leaders with the courage to admit what the West is up against, and stop the denial that Islam is a religion in the first instance, and that it wants peace in the the second.

Ground Zero Mosque..Top Three Reasons Rauf Won't Back Down

2010-09-10T13:30:00.000-07:00

Why does this radical Imam Rauf (called a moderate by the press) want to build this mosque in the face of overwhelming objections?

1. He wants to be an Islamic calaphite to the world by pulling off this stunt at the site of a great Mooselim victory.

2. By backing down, he would loose face in the Mooselim world as a strong effective leader.

3. By backing down and moving the location, he would loose foriegn funding from "crazy-as-a-sh!thouse-rat" countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.

If we don't stop foriegn funding of these enemy fortresses in the USA, we will have more dead Americans bleeding on US soil. Mooselims born in the USA are not loyal to their country, but only to their evil Arab cult and his prophet.

The Canadian Inquisition--Free Speech On Trial

2010-08-26T17:46:00.000-07:00

Here you see something you've never seen before, a Government official questioning a citizen who published Muslim cartoons in Canada "what his intent" was for doing so. This is an unusual look inside what the end of free speech looks like in Canada....Government officials questioning your thoughts....and if found guilty of hate speech....fined for doing so. You may have to turn up the volume to hear...but this is very chilling. This is whats coming to America, if we don't resist hate crime or speech legislation.

Homosexual Marriage....Doesn't Make Sense

2010-08-17T17:12:00.000-07:00

Gayness is a self proclaimed identity based on ones sexual appetites. It represents a very small minority.

The States sole interest in protecting the institution of marriage is the protection of children... vital for the perpeturity of civilization. Who needs gay marriage? To what end, to what purpose?

Unhealthy homosexual practices launched one of the most deadly epidemics in the world; perversions which have now leaked into to heterosexual community....costing billions upon billions....not to mention lives lost.

Not only should we never endorse marriage between homosexuals, but ban it entirely by reinstituting sodomy laws. Although I would never suggest monitoring private behavior in bedrooms, sodomy laws had the good effect of forbiding homosexual marriage and running perverse pornograhers out of the State. A two-pher benefit. Sodomy should be banned as unhealthy practice, as much crystal meth piping is today.

The concept of Barney Fwank piping his boyfriend, or Elana Kagan strapping on "an aparatus" for her girlfriend.. can never be equated by the holy union of a man and women united in a commited relationship, with the promise of nurturing,raising, and educating the next generation of Americans. Give me a break.

Growing Resistance In Europe to Sharia

2010-08-06T17:11:00.000-07:00

The English Defense League in Britain is a growing movement in the UK that is responding to the growing threat of Islamification. Predictably, they're being dismissed as Nazis or racists by the English libertine press . Not unlike our own American press, which somehow conflates ideology and race. How can Muslims carry hateful signs of conquest and still be characterised as 'victims' in the English press? Just like home.

My hope that anti Islamic groups in the West will unite and come together as much more powerful force to rid our Christian shores of this dangerous ideology. The EDL are not a bunch of "thugs" as the press describes, but seem to use technology competently and are well organized to grow their power base. Some reports that base is also spreading into Northern Ireland.

A Response to Islamification of Europe

2010-07-23T21:50:00.000-07:00

With Muslim populations on the move into Europe, sparks of resistance are growing. Around that resistance, young musical groups are forming a new genre of defiance. Although it is by definition, "racist", its still a fascinating thing to see emerge in socialist leaning Europe. Given the arrogance of Islam to build a mosque at ground zero, we all soon may be singing this song.

It really begs the question if we can live in a pluralistic society. New immigrant groups are refusing to assimilate, as there is a vast cultural divide. Tolerance may not be enough, as immigrants grow in political power and develop the means of influencing and/or directing Government. At that point, tolerance surrenders to the new oppressors of the new minority.

Muslim Claims of Accomplishment
By: Peter BetBasoo
ChristiansOfIraq.com Friday, January 04, 2008

EDITOR'S NOTE: There is great need for setting the record straight on the
history of the Middle East. The revisionism of the last few years will lead
Western Civilization into bondage. The following letter by Assyrian scholar
Peter BetBasoo is a very important step in the right direction. It was sent
by Assyrian scholar Peter BetBasoo to Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard
Corporation, in response to a speech she presented in Minneapolis on
September 26, 2001. It is reprinted by permission. Please read and pass it
on to others.

Dear Madame Fiorina:

It is with great interest that I read your speech delivered on September 26,
2001, titled "Technology, Business and Our way of Life: What's Next" [sic].
I was particularly interested in the story you told at the end of your
speech, about the Arab/Muslim civilization. As an Assyrian, a non-Arab,
Christian native of the Middle East, whose ancestors reach back to 5000
B.C., I wish to clarify some points you made in this little story, and to
alert you to the dangers of unwittingly being drawn into the
Arabist/Islamist ideology, which seeks to assimilate all cultures and
religions into the Arab/Islamic fold.

I know you are a very busy woman, but please find ten minutes to read what
follows, as it is a perspective that you will not likely get from anywhere
else. I will answer some of the specific points you made in your speech,
then conclude with a brief perspective on this Arabist/Islamist ideology.

Arabs and Muslims appeared on the world scene in 630 A.D., when the armies
of Muhammad began their conquest of the Middle East. We should be very clear
that this was a military conquest, not a missionary enterprise, and through
the use of force, authorized by a declaration of a Jihad against infidels,
Arabs/Muslims were able to forcibly convert and assimilate non-Arabs and
non-Muslims into their fold. Very few indigenous communities of the Middle
East survived this - primarily Assyrians, Jews, Armenians and Coptics (of
Egypt).

Having conquered the Middle East, Arabs placed these communities under a
Dhimmi (see the book DHIMMI, by Bat Ye'Or) system of governance, where the
communities were allowed to rule themselves as religious minorities
(Christians, Jews and Zoroastrian). These communities had to pay a tax
(called a Jizzya in Arabic) that was, in effect, a penalty for being
non-Muslim, and that was typically 80% in times of tolerance and up to 150%
in times of oppression. This tax forced many of these communities to convert
to Islam, as it was designed to do.

You state, "its architects designed buildings that defied gravity." I am not
sure what you are referring to, but if you are referring to domes and
arches, the fundamental architectural breakthrough of using a parabolic
shape instead of a spherical shape for these structures was made by the
Assyrians more than 1300 years earlier, as evidenced by their archaeological
record.

You state,

"its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the
building of computers, and the creation of encryption."
The fundamental basis of modern mathematics had been laid down not hundreds
but thousands of years before by Assyrians and Babylonians, who already knew
of the concept of zero, of the Pythagorean Theorem, and of many, many other
developments expropriated by Arabs/Muslims (see HISTORY OF BABYLONIAN
MATHEMATICS by Otto E. Neugebauer).

You state,

"its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease."

The overwhelming majority of these doctors (99%) were Assyrians. In the
fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries Assyrians began a systematic translation
of the Greek body of knowledge into Assyrian. At first, they concentrated on
the religious works but then quickly moved to science, philosophy and
medicine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galen, and many others were translated
into Assyrian, and from Assyrian into Arabic. It is these Arabic
translations which the Moors brought with them into Spain, and which the
Spaniards translated into Latin and spread throughout Europe, thus igniting
the European Renaissance.

By the sixth century A.D., Assyrians had begun exporting back to Byzantia
their own works on science, philosophy and medicine. In the field of
medicine, the Bakhteesho Assyrian family produced nine generations of
physicians, and founded the great medical school at Gundeshapur (Iran). Also
in the area of medicine, (the Assyrian) Hunayn ibn-Ishaq's textbook on
ophthalmology, written in 950 A.D., remained the authoritative source on the
subject until 1800 A.D.

In the area of philosophy, the Assyrian philosopher Job of Edessa developed
a physical theory of the universe, in the Assyrian language, that rivaled
Aristotle's theory, and that sought to replace matter with forces (a theory
that anticipated some ideas in quantum mechanics, such as the spontaneous
creation and destruction of matter that occurs in the quantum vacuum).

One of the greatest Assyrian achievements of the fourth century was the
founding of the first university in the world, the School of Nisibis, which
had three departments, theology, philosophy and medicine, and which became a
magnet and center of intellectual development in the Middle East. The
statutes of the School of Nisibis, which have been preserved, later became
the model upon which the first Italian university was based (see THE
STATUTES OF THE SCHOOL OF NISIBIS by Arthur Voobus).

When Arabs and Islam swept through the Middle East in 630 A.D., they
encountered 600 years of Assyrian Christian civilization, with a rich
heritage, a highly developed culture, and advanced learning institutions. It
is this civilization that became the foundation of the Arab civilization.
You state,

"Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way
for space travel and exploration."

This is a bit melodramatic. In fact, the astronomers you refer to were not
Arabs but Chaldeans and Babylonians (of present day south-Iraq), who for
millennia were known as astronomers and astrologers, and who were forcibly
Arabized and Islamized - so rapidly that by 750 A.D. they had disappeared
completely.

You state,

"its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and
magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in
fear to think of such things."

There is very little literature in the Arabic language that comes from this
period you are referring to (the Koran is the only significant piece of
literature), whereas the literary output of the Assyrians and Jews was vast.
The third largest corpus of Christian writing, after Latin and Greek, is by
the Assyrians in the Assyrian language (also called Syriac).

You state,

"when other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them,
and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past
civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on
to others."

This is a very important issue you raise, and it goes to the heart of the
matter of what Arab/Islamic civilization represents. I reviewed a book
titled HOW GREEK SCIENCE PASSED TO THE ARABS, in which author De Lacy
O'Leary lists the significant translators and interpreters of Greek science.
Of the 22 scholars listed, 20 were Assyrians, one was Persian and one an
Arab. I state at the end of my review:

"The salient conclusion which can be drawn from O'Leary's book is that
Assyrians played a significant role in the shaping of the Islamic world via
the Greek corpus of knowledge. If this is so, one must then ask the
question, what happened to the Christian communities which made them lose
this great intellectual enterprise they had established? One can ask this
same question of the Arabs. Sadly, O'Leary's book does not answer this
question, and we must look elsewhere for the answer."

I did not answer this question I posed in the review because it was not the
place to answer it, but the answer is very clear, the Christian Assyrian
community was drained of its population through forced conversion to Islam
(by the Jizzya), and once the community had dwindled below a critical
threshold, it ceased producing the scholars that were the intellectual
driving force of the Islamic civilization, and that is when the so called
"Golden Age of Islam" came to an end (about 850 A.D.).

Islam the religion itself was significantly molded by Assyrians and Jews
(see NESTORIAN INFLUENCE ON ISLAM and HAGARISM: THE MAKING OF THE ISLAMIC
WORLD).

Arab/Islamic civilization is not a progressive force, it is a regressive
force; it does not give impetus, it retards. The great civilization you
describe was not an Arab/Muslim accomplishment, it was an Assyrian
accomplishment that Arabs expropriated and subsequently lost when they
drained, through the forced conversion of Assyrians to Islam, the source of
the intellectual vitality that propelled it. What other Arab/Muslim
civilization has risen since? What other Arab/Muslim successes can we cite?

You state,

"and perhaps we can learn a lesson from his [Suleiman] example: It was
leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that
harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population that included
Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions."

In fact, the Ottomans were extremely oppressive to non-Muslims. For example,
young Christian boys were forcefully taken from their families, usually at
the age of 8-10, and inducted into the Janissaries, (yeniceri in Turkish)
where they were Islamized and made to fight for the Ottoman state. What
literary, artistic or scientific achievements of the Ottomans can we point
to? We can, on the other hand, point to the genocide of 750,000 Assyrians,
1.5 million Armenians and 400,000 Greeks in World War One by the Kemalist
"Young Turk" government. This is the true face of Islam.

Arabs/Muslims are engaged in an explicit campaign of destruction and
expropriation of cultures and communities, identities and ideas. Wherever
Arab/Muslim civilization encounters a non-Arab/Muslim one, it attempts to
destroy it (as the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan were destroyed, as
Persepolis was destroyed by the Ayotollah Khomeini).

This is a pattern that has been recurring since the advent of Islam, 1400
years ago, and is amply substantiated by the historical record. If the
"foreign" culture cannot be destroyed, then it is expropriated, and
revisionist historians claim that it is and was Arab, as is the case of most
of the Arab "accomplishments" you cited in your speech. For example, Arab
history texts in the Middle East teach that Assyrians were Arabs, a fact
that no reputable scholar would assert, and that no living Assyrian would
accept. Assyrians first settled Nineveh, one of the major Assyrian cities,
in 5000 B.C., which is 5630 years before Arabs came into that area. Even the
word 'Arab' is an Assyrian word, meaning "Westerner" (the first written
reference to Arabs was by the Assyrian King Sennacherib, 800 B.C., in which
he tells of conquering the "ma'rabayeh" - Westerners. See THE MIGHT THAT WAS
ASSYRIA by H. W. F. Saggs).

Even in America this Arabization policy continues. On October 27th a
coalition of seven Assyrian and Maronite organizations sent an official
letter to the Arab American Institute asking it to stop identifying
Assyrians and Maronites as Arabs, which it had been deliberately doing.
There are minorities and nations struggling for survival in the Arab/Muslim
ocean of the Middle East and Africa (Assyrians, Armenians, Coptics, Jews,
southern Sudanese, Ethiopians, Nigerians...), and we must be very sensitive
not to unwittingly and inadvertently support Islamic fascism and Arab
Imperialism, with their attempts to wipe out all other cultures, religions
and civilizations. It is incumbent upon each one of us to do our homework
and research when making statements and speeches about these sensitive
matters.

I hope you found this information enlightening. You may contact me at

Progressive Armageddon

2010-07-04T08:31:00.000-07:00

The Armageddon coming will contest those who hold that rights are inalienable and the secular progressive statists who insist that no universal truth exists (therefore, it’s amendable). The Progressive line of thinking follows Nietzsche, and believe the force we call evil is simply "man the animal" slowly evolving. Progressivism seeks to remedy man’s state, while progressives themselves are unable to recognize that they, themselves, are the same animal. They run in circles searching for truth. Those that follow them remain confused and directionless.

Progressives have latched on to the idea of race, as they are the premier racists who see everything in terms of race. Race is central to their line of thinking, in terms of man’s state, and what needs to be done to evolve the animal to a higher form of existence. It’s the grand experiment, that defines their politics and activism. In fact, progressives are ”ate up” with race. That is the first thing a progressive will notice about you.

Do you recall when tea parties were organizing; liberal focus was primarily on the tea partier's race, as it defined why “teabaggers” were protesting. This was Chris Matthew's single issue with the Tea Party. When you understand this about progressive liberals, everything they do is predictable. They classify those willing to accept their doctrine as enlightened, those who accept their help as oppressed and evolving, and those who oppose them hatefully bigoted. It is the Conservative who is not the bigot or racist, who expects every person to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps.

If those who are seen as helpless only understood how lowly and inferior progressive liberals benevolently see them, they would break the chain of dependence and stand up for themselves.

2010-06-30T19:54:00.000-07:00

This is rather long, but worth listening too. Pete Stark, Democrat Congressman from California is a disgrace. The arrogance of these lifetime politicians is sickening. Also interesting are legal immigrants speaking out on the border issue. Remember in November.

Obama isn't the only one getting thin skinned. Later, he commented that their administration inherited one "hell of a mess". Again, more Bush bashing. I don't think these clowns realize they were hired to fix the mess, not make it worse. The Obama and Biden administration has doubled the Bush deficits in less than two years. Remember in November.

WTF McCrystal

2010-06-22T16:46:00.000-07:00

I can't get it out of my head. General McCrystal voted for Obama? That's what the article in Rolling Stone said. Was it the Colin Powell endorsement? Has the world gone mad? What kind of a Svengali is Obama, that a man like McCrystal would vote for him?

I don't understand why McCrystal would choose Rolling Stone Mag. to unload on Obama either. Then again.. he voted for Obama... perhaps Rolling Stone is the way McCrystal rolls. Why he went so far, then backed off with mia culpas. Why? Why do that? My head hurts to much trying to put this entire thing together in a way that makes any sense.

Is McCrystal going to pull a Rosanne Rosannadana...and now say, "oh...hmm.....never mind"?

2010-06-12T07:39:00.000-07:00

Nothing pisses me off more than the selfishness and self indulgence this incident represents. The parents, at a minimum, should be up on child endangerment charges. The idiot father said you can't over protect children, that we can't stop them from driving cars (for example) because they can be killed or injured. Are you kidding me? He equates a sixteen year old driving to the mall with sailing a small boat around the world in dangerous waters ALONE. Its a good thing this young girl didn't drift within the range of Somali pirates, or she would have had a much more significant problem than a broken mast section.

Reading the blogs, other idiots have commented this was a brave thing to do, it shows spine and the ol' pioneer spirit...following your dreams...blah...blah...blah. I learned a long time ago there is a big difference between bravery and stupidity. If these high adventure addicts had to pay the FULL cost of their rescues, perhaps it would give them pause. I got news for these folks, the pioneers and explorers of old did not call 911 or turn on distress beacons when things went south. Give me a break.

This is another example of stupid people doing stupid things, and the rest of us paying for it. I'm glad this young girl is saved, but I doubt that she or her parents have learned one thing from this experience.

William Z. Foster. He was the national chairman of the American Communist Party from 1933 until 1957. He died in Moscow in 1961 and was buried with honors by the Soviet government.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 326
“A Communist world will be a united organization world. The economic system will be one great organization.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 326
“In such a society there will be no tariffs or the many other barriers erected by capitalism against a free world interchange of goods.” Here we have free trade, and not fair trade.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 316
“Among the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further the cultural revolution are the following: the schools, colleges and universities will be coordinated and grouped under the National Department of Education and its state and local branches.” Again socialists have the majority of faculty within our institutions, colleges, university's, and public schools. See public school indoctrination comments found on this site. We of course now have a Federal Department of Education.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 334
Quoting Stalin
“The principle of capitalist competition is defeat and death for some and victory for others. The principle of Socialist competition is, comradely assistance to those lagging behind the more advances, with the purpose to reach general advancement.” What more can I say about the take over of GM, Government Motors, the bailouts of banks, and the take over of the Healthcare industry, and the coming takeover of energy and manufacturing under Cap and Trade.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 308
“The Russian woman is also free in her sex life. When married life becomes unwelcome for a couple they are not barbarously compelled to live together. Divorce is to be had for the asking by one or both parties.” Isn't this a reflection of our current post modern society today?

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 290
“Naturally the American Socialist industry will be operated upon the basis of a planned economy.” The Government, under aforementioned stimulus plans, now seek to control not only US manufacturing (production), but the means of production and who gets access to capital. Taxes will redistribute money from those who earn it to those who the Government prefers based on political favor and orientation.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 321
“Capitalism blames crime upon the individual, instead of upon the bad social conditions with produced it.” This certainly reflects the lack of personal responsibility for ones own economic condition in our current post modern society. Work is no longer a requirement of economic reward in our evolving economy. A retail worker inside an air conditioned perfume counter will have the equivalent pay as a steel worker operating 500 feet off the ground, a road worker toiling in 100 degree heat, or oil rig workers facing dangerous working conditions. Equivalent pay for less strenuous and dangerous work will eventually insure no one will want to do it.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 317
“The whole basis and organization of capitalist science will be revolutionized. Science will become . . . truly scientific. God will be banished from the laboratories as will as from the schools.” Already done.

Toward Soviet America - 1932 William Z Foster, page 303
“Attempts to maintain the capitalist white chauvinism and ostracism of the Negroes will be punished as a serious crime.” Although this statement may be dated, its meaning is clear to me. Hate crime law will eventually chill, then outlaw speech under the guise of hate. See my article on hate crime and its deleterious effect on free speech of all kinds. White guilt has driven this, see my article below, or here

Something Obama Would Never Do

2010-06-04T16:56:00.000-07:00

No time for gaying it up

Memorial Days and Monuments to Come

2010-05-31T14:42:00.000-07:00

Well America, we've finally done it….elected a President who has placed Marxist rabble rousers in his administration, who's embraced Saul Alinsky’s radical code of conduct, who's routinely ridiculed his own country on foreign soil, and who has managed to tripled the Bush deficits in less than two years. We are a great nation tumbling down, much like the twin towers on 9-11. I fear the Memorial Days and Momuments yet to come.

So, what the hell were we thinking? We are stuck in a great predicament of our own making. This is the purchase of white guilt and 50 years of political correctness. I look upon a nation that issues drivers tests in 12 different languages while tolerating political leaders that care more for the rights of invading Mexicans than American citizens they pretend to represent.

I feel like a stranger in a strange land. Certainly Judeo Christian values are still present in America, but our leaders and their minions no longer possess them. The Obama administration seems much like an occupying regime. Today I walk down the familiar streets of my childhood and observe signs written in foreign tongues and their rapid cadence also heard everywhere.

Even military leaders with whom I give much deference too, now speak the jargon of the Gay and special interest agenda. These values are as foreign to me as the languages spoken on American streets. My God, what happened to us? Our diversity has never been our strength. Diversity has always been something to overcome. Our strength has never been diversity, which is the fiction of white guilt. Strength comes from unity, and unity alone. It is achieved by overlooking diversity. Our unity is our strength….E pluribus unum,,,remember that? Out of many, one. Its found on the seal of the Presidency, Senate, and House of Representatives. Its original meaning suggests that out of many colonies or states emerged a single nation. Never mind the original meaning of that, the Constitution, or even Memorial Day.

When I can no longer look to the north, south, east or west , and see fellow countrymen… then I must revert back to tribal “clans” for political resolution and peace of mind. The United States is fragmenting or “balkanizing” into squabbling ethnic groups. You might as well join one for your own protection. The National Government, or what’s becoming of it, will no longer protect you or your children. As Governor Brewer of Arizona recently lamented, “a nation without borders is like a house without walls”… so they both eventually will collapse.

The last straw has finally fallen on the back of this American camel. I will not accept an Al Queda monument on near ground zero in NY. The Islamists will open it on 9-11, 2011. This is obviously an ‘in your face’ celebration of the jihad on sacred ground. If you don’t get this by now, you never will. Much must be done to resist the audacity of the Islamist movement, and President Barack Hussein Obama and his bolshevic administration do all they can to make it easier for Islamic radicals to establish a foothold on the American continent. Wake on this Memorial Day, America.

Poor Wilber will have many more thoughts on this topic in the days to come.

Kagan..General Thoughts

2010-05-16T08:19:00.000-07:00

Hate crimes legislation is the next step by Stalinist leftists (Progressives) to stifle free speech in America. Stalin used to throw opponents in mental institutions. In the US, we call it mandatory "sensitivity training". If you're spewing speech the left doesn’t like, you may be a prime candidate for required sensitivity training (or known as reeducation camps in Commie circles).

Unelected judges ruling as tyrants will lead to trouble. If activist judges rule by fiat, and do not stick to strict constructionist principles, we will loose our freedom one ruling at a time.

We've had this kind of thing in America before. The Lincoln administration at one time went so far as to bar the use of the postal system for newspapers that disagreed with his administration. This of course ruined the newspapers. The Lincoln administration went still further and threw newspapermen in jail without charges. As you can imagine, he received great press once this policy went into effect. Too bad they were not clever enough to claim they were only stopping the spread of hate speech, then Lincoln would have been proclaimed a God.

An American conservative commentator was recently threatened in Canada with criminal prosecution for speaking her mind. Progressives are nothing but Stalinist leftists in disguise. They purport freedom of speech, as long as its speech they agree with. The USA isn’t Canada yet, but with judges like Kagan, we are not far away. Religious leaders have much to fear from Progressives gaining further inroads into our government and judiciary.

Boycott LA--BUYCOTT Arizona

2010-05-13T16:28:00.000-07:00

All conservative organizations should cancel all contracts with the city of Los Angeles. This city, which is now a de-facto Mexican City... dirty, corrupt, and bankrupt... should be avoided at all costs. In this racist city, white people can easily get themselves killed should they venture into the wrong neighborhood. While traveling there on business several years ago, I made a wrong turn into Compton. The looks of hatred and anger I received while passing residents on the street was suffocating.

Needless to say, I got my white ass out of the AO as quickly as I could get the car turned around. Images of the Rodney King riots ran through my head, as white people driving through there were singled out, pulled out of their cars, and nearly beaten to death. As they give sanctuary to criminal aliens (i.e. MS-13) , the city is not safe for any European-American. The racism is horrific.The greatest blessing to the USA would be that both LA and San Francisco slip off into the Pacific ocean during the next earthquake.

BTW, notice Al Gore must not be worrying about Global Warming anymore, as he recently purchased a 9 million dollar mansion on the Pacific coast. Al was telling the rest of us that global warming would raise sea levels and flood the very area he is currently occupying. hmmm.

Folks, change your vacation plans to Arizona. The Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, Sedona, all beautiful scenery and terrific weather. BuyCott Arizona. Make your reservations today!!!

Thank God for brave Arizona. I hope other States join Arizona in passing the new immigration law. Support them.

RINOs Playing Games Again

2010-04-28T18:19:00.000-07:00

Lindsay Graham, our favorite RINO, has joined the chorus line of other pro-amnesty assholes criticising Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law. He runs in front of a microphone and matter of factly states the new law is Unconstitutional. Unconstitutional, even though it mirrors Federal law. Imagine that. His good buddy and sometimes Conservative (when running for re-election) John McAmnesty is all for the new law. So now, for the first time John and Lindsay are at odds. It must be that Lindsay isn't running for re-election this cycle. Too bad for John, that he can't join his RINO collegue in opposition to Arizona's law.

I heard a Democratic Hispanic Congressman from Arizona is also calling for a boycott of his own State. Well, what a great idea. I'd like to suggest to Conservatives that we boycott the State of South Carolina until they vote that RINO bastard Lindsay Graham out of the Senate . We can spend our vacation money in Arizona, rather than the beaches of South Carolina. Haven't we had enough RINO game playing at our expense?

GM- A Example of What Happens When Government Runs Industry

2010-04-24T07:09:00.000-07:00

GM has finally paid back the TARP bailout. The new CEO, Ed Whitacre , created a TV ad congratulating themselves on their progress. The Gaffe-O-Matic Vice President likewise continued with the happiness reporting. As it turned out, all of this was intended simply to blow sunshine up our ass.

Yes, we've been "had" again by the Obama administration, and its newest acquisition, GM (Government Motors). GM paid the taxpayers back with....are you ready...OUR OWN FREAKING MONEY!! GM took money out of a taxpayer funded escrow account, and paid us back with our own money. They are still operating at a loss, and have no earnings.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If any Conservative buys a GM car, your doing nothing but subsidizing Socialism. The UAW, which builds these cars, finances the DNC. The DNC has been taken over by Socialists, so any purchase of a GM car goes to that purpose.

I will never buy another GM car. This is a lifetime commitment for me. I will encourage all members of my family and friends to do likewise. The overtaxed US taxpayer will be facing huge deficits for decades to come, and Federal financing of GM is simply throwing good money down a deep and nasty rat hole. Don't ever let the Government convince you again that any business is too big to fail.

The British National Health Service, Coming to America in the Form of Obamacare

2010-03-27T06:19:00.000-07:00

The American Medical Association (AMA) who supported, Obama's Healthcare Legislation, surprising represents only 17 percent of doctors in the US. Its like this old episode of "Yes, Minister", a British comedy that makes fun of the inefficiencies of the National Health Service. In this episode, the employees Union doesn't want to close a hospital with no patients (and no doctors) because it employs 500 deadbeat union employees. Welcome to the future of Obamacare.

With centralized control, the Democrat socialists will insure misery is shared by all...the hard working and the indolent. If your over 78 years old or need a hip replacement, you'll get a walker and some pain pills. If you need a heart bypass, you'll get an oxygen tank and nitro. Remember Sarah Palin was talking about death panels....its in the bill the Communist-in-Chief just signed. Yes my friends, some bureaucrat in the National Health Administration will decide based on your age, health, and/or prognosis. The "panel" provides your doctor guidelines as to whether you (and others like you) are worthy of spending additional money to save your life. This is the essence of a socialist, collectivist healthcare system.

Folks, if we don't get these Socialist Democrats out of office in November, we are finished as a free Republic. Enjoy our future in the video above.

Strange Fainting Spells During Obama Speeches

2010-03-20T10:38:00.000-07:00

It hasn't gone unoticed that many people just seem to faint in the presense of the annoited 'one'. However, its starting to look like some gimmick a TV Preacher would use to increase the drama and keep the money dropping into the collection plate. A more recent fainter was later exposed as a guy being dragged out of a healthcare town meeting by five policemen. Initially, it only affected the press, as they wet all over themselves during press conferences...something tingling and warm running down their leg.

I'm starting to feel a little light headed myself.

Conservatives, Bluto's right....we can let this healthcare vote on Sunday become the worse day of our lives, when it can evolve into our finest hour. We must fight today, fight tomorrow, and fight on thru 2010 and 2012. Let this become the "high water mark" of liberal ascendancy. DO NOT LET DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS define the inevitability of anything in our AMERICA.

The Continuing War for Independence

2010-03-20T05:19:00.000-07:00

Its just the start. We are now engaged in a war. A war that started in 1776, and one that will probably never end as long as tyrant's breath.

The United States has survived many perilous times, and incurred damage at every turn. The most significant "change" was during the Southern war for independence. Some in the South called this the second war of independence. The South did not prevail in sustaining the original intent of the American Constitution, of sovereign free States consenting to the limits of Government...as long as Government stayed within those limits.

Americans are not Europeans. We do not like regulation. We do not like restraints. We do not like, and will not tolerate the excess of Government ruling over every detail of our lives for the illusive objective of "common good". Americans know that what is good for each individual is equally good for society. That is uniquely American; a belief that Government is not the master but the servant. Our Founding Fathers deliberately made it difficult to pass laws that effect all States, as they knew of the danger and excess of centralized Government power. Balance of power between three branches is an inefficient form of Government by design. Balance of power, due to those built in inefficiencies preserves freedom by denying absolute power to any tyrant. What endangers that freedom is a Congress and Judiciary that worships the annoited one like an imperial emperior. Once the emperior consolidates power, the allure is much like heroin. Once the tyrant tastes, he's hooked, and it takes blood and revolution to set things right.

The equal branches of Government need to reassert their authority to reestablish the limits of Government. Those limits, or walls, depends on Government branches asserting that authority and maintaining their independence. Likewise States, under the 10th Amendment, must assert their powers to limit the Federal Government. Local Government must in turn limit the power of States. The most power must be centered at the local level, which is closest to to people.

Why is Congress so out of touch with the people? The formulation for country has been tampered with by Progressive Presidents and Congress over our 200 year history. Abraham Lincoln, who centralized Federal authority, thumbed his nose at the Constitution and limits of Federal authority. Since that breach, the power of the Federal Government over States has grown to unmanageable levels.

Its been said by American leaders, to their shame, that America's strength is her diversity. That is the result of years of political correct progressive thinking. Nothing could be further from the truth. Our strength lies with the ideals of one concept....freedom. That I, as an individual, am free to succeed, free to fail, free to love, free to even hate, free to have any opinion or do anything that I please with one caveat....that my freedom doesn't trample the freedom of others. That works until the lawyers come in, and twist words around until they have no meaning at all. In a Democratic society, moral support provided by religion is critical for self Government. The retraints compelled by the All Mighty God, govern our relationships with fellow countrymen. Our first President said the same thing.

This fight for America's heritage will start with debate, but will ultimately end in blood and violence should the Democrat's continue this course. Obama is much like Lincoln, in his desire to be King...recognizing no limits to the power of the Presidency and the Congress. The third war of Indepedence always looms before us.

Coldest winter for half century (as you may have suspected).

Date: 13 March 2010
By Jenny Fyall

SCOTLAND shivered this year in the second-coldest winter ever recorded.

Met Office statistics reveal that only the winter of 1963 was colder than the temperatures in Scotland between December 2009 and February 2010.

And for northern Scotland it was actually the coldest since records began in 1914.

A Different Kind of Communist Party...Odds and Ends

2010-03-10T15:27:00.000-08:00

The fraud, waste, and abuse inside Obama's Simulus Package continues to astound me. Labeled as shovel ready projects, we are funding important projects such as the preservation of bug collections, cocaine for monkeys, and other such nonsense. I told you so. See Porkulus again, in the must see section of this website.

We conservatives must also decide whether or not we are going to continue to subsidize the UAW by purchasing GM automobiles. After our 401Ks were raped by this organization, and old GM stock rendered worthless, every Union member got a bailout and issued new GM stock. The rest of us, well...suck it up. The UAW continues to subsidize the Socialist Democrat Party, so if you buy GM, you're subsidizing Communism in the USA in my humble opinion. The direct Government attacks on Toyota are also interesting theater, if I were a conspiracy theorist.

Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician, is under siege in his own country. He is being place on trial for speaking out against the encroachment of Islam in his country. He is right. Europe is slowly being overrun by these seventh century neanderthals, and Geert on trial for expressing his views on the subject. European men over the centuries have become cowards and appeasers. As Churchill used to chide, they feed the alligator hoping it will eat them last. This type of thing is coming to a USA theater near you in the form hate crime legislation. If you speak out against illegal immigration or gay marriage, you might find yourself in jail. Geert Wilders is a hero. Europe is the socialist model our socialist President so admires.

Traditional Cristian Communities Have Rights Too, In Heaven and On Earth.

2010-03-07T06:30:00.000-08:00

These straw man arguments of discrediting community standards by
associating them with church doctrine is getting tiresome.

A Mr. Richard Easton expressed my sentiments on this subject:

" The real problem is the US mythology that religion and government can be
separated. Three propositions prove the point.

(1) All nations must have laws.

(2) All laws try to restrain some "evil", or reinforce some "good" (so all
law, even administrative law, is enacted morality).

(3) All morality depends on beliefs that cannot be subjected to the
scientific method and are, thus, religious beliefs - even if they are
non-theistic.

So government is the process of legislating someone's religious beliefs. The
vital question is whose religious beliefs should underpin our law and
government?"

Community standards define the parameters of that particular communities
values. They are the 'center' of that community, which define an entire host
of limits, priorities, and values. The question is exactly the one Mr.
Easton poses above,."someone's" beliefs are always going to take precedence.

James Madison, a founding father, put it this way, "We have staked the whole
future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We
have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity
of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles
of the Ten Commandments." - James Madison.

The dangers of so-called Christian fundamentalism touted by modern day
secular humanists to American government is a contemptible lie at best, and
hysterical nonsense at worst. Over two hundred years of American Christian
majorities have created the most free and tolerant society in the world. All
law has , as its underpinning, a code of morality . The vast majority (98
percent and I can prove it) of founding fathers were Christians, and our
founding documents ciited the Bible more than any other source. Most
expressed George Washington's sentiments, when he said in an speech in 1796.

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man
claim the tribute of patriotism who should labor to subvert these great
pillars of human happiness - these firmest props of the duties of men and
citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect
and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with
private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked, Where is the security
for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation
desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of
justice? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can
be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of
refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both
forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of
religious principle." - George Washington, Sept. 17, 1796

Once again, to discredit any community standard based on Christian morality
is a pathetic straw man, as all standards and laws are based on "someone's"
morality. Christian morality is as valid as anyone elses. What prefers one
over the other is democracy in action.

All law is based on an underpinning of "someone's" morality. My point is that Judeo-Christian morality is as valid as atheistic, agnostic, pagans, or any other. I think Judeo Christian principles are the foundation of western civilization and far superior to any other. In any case, the Constitution does not prefer one over the other.

Community standards and ordinances that simply establish limits based on the preferences of that community that do not discriminate based on religion, race, gender are perfectly acceptable. I personally choose to accept the standards of the community as a matter of respect, as I have also choosen to live here. If I don't like the community standards, then I can leave. However, if you want the law to change, then campaign for it. Don't make fallacious arguments confusing rightful application of community standards as a 1st Amendment issue. No ones
Constitutional rights are violated for being inconvenienced due to a community standard.

RINO Treachery on the March....Again.

2010-03-06T06:36:00.000-08:00

Our old pal Lindsay Graham is back to his old tricks. He has been making several trips to the White House to discuss… guess what? Immigration reform. Yes South Carolina, our favorite RINO is sharpening the knife to slip in the back of the Tea Party movement once the Senate Health Care plan is passed in the House. Remember when the President assured everyone that illegal immigrants would not receive subsidized healthcare? So, in comes the solution, make illegal aliens….well legal. Thank you Lindsay Graham, we thought the era of RINO bipartisanship and Democrat-lite politics were over.

My guess is our favorite RINO is in the pocket of the carpet bagging tourist industry on the South Carolina coast. Michael Steele, what say you about this new bit of treachery baking in the oven?

South Carolina Republicans, the ball is in your court. South Carolina Tea Partiers, you better get busy. With Lindsay working with Obama and Rahm, can ‘reach across the aisle’ McCain (McAmnesty) be that far behind? Once McAmnesty secures his race in Arizona, he'll be his old bi-partisan self. McCain has managed to temporarily shut his wife up on supporting gay marriage (and his progressive skanky daughter), but the dam will burst after the 2010 election. Maybe the rumors about Lindsay are...nah.

9-11 Truthers...Idiots Without a Cause

2010-03-04T15:13:00.000-08:00

What is it about the independent movement that careens between Constitutional rationality and insanity? Case in point, the 9-11 Truther movement. This is the group of tin foil hatters who believe that the attack of 9-11 was a Government inside job.

This is the foil that destroyed Debra Medina's momentum in the Texas Governor's primary, a promising young conservative women (story below), who tripped over this madness during a Glenn Beck radio interview while responding to a question. When she stated these Truthers may have legit concerns in her answer, she stepped on a political land mine that enervated growing support for her candidancy. What Debra meant to say, was that people in general have the right to question the Government. However, she later recanted and refined the response, a little too late, that the entire Truther proposition that our Government attacked their own citizens was entirely bizarre.

Why do these Truthers, found to inhabit fringe sites run by Alex Jones, persist in their idiotic views? I don't know. Reason does not work with these people, as this seems to be a cult, a religion, and chasing this ridiculous theory is much like Captain Ahab's fixation with Moby Dick. It is a cognitive dissonance, where they complain evidence of Government complicity was its failure to take any action to stop the attack...while in the same breath they bitterly complain about any follow-on measure to stop the next attack (i.e. the Patriot Act). Apparently 9-11 was a Globalist plot to create the excuse to establish martial law in the United States. However, nine years after 9-11...martial law has not been declared. So, did the plot fail?

While Truthers wallow in the insanity of the plot that didn't work, they ignore the socialistic take over of banks, car companies, energy companies (cap and trade), and the entire health care industry. Who needs marshal law, when the Government under the Obama regime is taking over all means of production...in plain sight.

To the Ron Paul Truthers, please take off the tin foil hats....as 9-11 serves a distraction to what the Globalists are really doing right in front of you. Wise up. Below are the best 1 minute videos I've seen to debunk all of the main assertions of these dingleberrys. If you know a Truther, please give them these links.

A Different Kind of Communist Party- Democrat Health Care

2010-02-26T19:47:00.000-08:00

Barrack Hussein Obama...mmm...mmm...mmm, has completed his health care summit with the Republicans at Blair House. This was his answer to transparency in Government...finally C-SPAN covering the negotiations. I actually wanted to see his negotiations with the SEIU and UAW. That would have been far more interesting to watch. Now that BO has done his obligatory photo op to create the illusion of bi-partisanship, he is now free to use reconciliation to ram this health care abortion down our throats. I can only hope the arrogance on display during this event will force the American public to kill this bill in the House of Representatives. Get on the phone folks, the Commies are dancing.

Poor Wilber Is Changing His Views On Debra Medina- Again

2010-02-25T18:16:00.000-08:00

Candidate for Texas Governer, Mrs. Medina, did finally announce that she finds the 9-11 Truther movement despicable. Good. I'm back on board. I wish she had responded more quickly after she appeared to sympathize with those views on the Glenn Beck show. I could not support a candidate that held such controversial views. It would have reflected on her judgement and ability to reason. Her recent denouncement of this movement indicates that she is grounded in reality after all. I will vote for Mrs. Medina in the primary.

Next time Pelosi comments about how much she cares about the American people...I hope they remember this outrage.

Homosexual Marriage...Not in Texas

2010-02-20T08:09:00.000-08:00

Marriage is a legal institution to provide legal status to children. Again, and again, and again, the State of Texas is not governing love, but establishing an institution that’s in its best interest. That interest is constructing the best platform for raising healthy children inside homes with a Mother and Father. That result is indisputable. Children (by and large) who are raised in these homes get better grades, are less likely to be criminals, are less likely to have babies outside of marriage. Homosexual marriage, in contrast, provides no value to the State at all, but encourages unhealthy sexual practices that will add costs to an already overtaxed healthcare system.

Heterosexual marriage does not simply involve procreation, but provides healthy families that will raise balanced children who will eventually become patriotic taxpaying citizens. Without balanced children growing up to adulthood, the State would not exist. Since Europe has already bought into the Gay marriage agenda, and has failed to endorse and encourage strong heterosexual families, their not even replacing themselves. When the State redefines marriage to mean ‘anything goes’, young heterosexuals in Europe have changed attitudes about marriage and are no longer interested in engaging in long term relationships (or producing healthy children) as the societal norm. Sure, they continue to be interested in sex, and occasional have procreation accidents, which is what keeps the abortion mills in the business of killing children before they draw their first breath. Look at the Hollywood culture today…I rest my case.

In California, who has bought into the “gay” agenda, is a collapsing mess,…economically, structurally, and morally. We in Texas are trying to preserve American traditional values, and insure those values are preserved. Licensed marriage by the State of Texas is not about LOVE, unless someone can show me in the law where loving your partner is a requirement. The legal requirement is that you have to be of legal age and opposite sex. Some arguments that childless couples should not be allowed to be married are completely feckless. That cannot be defined in any reasonable sense, as childless couples adopt and/or medical science provides solutions so they might have their own children. In both cases, the child has the best environment to thrive, with both a Mother and a Father. Older couples who marry provide good examples and roll models for younger child bearing heterosexuals, so it helps establish a healthy social order…so it still benefits the State.

Finally, homosexuality is a psycho-sexual disorder, just like pedophilia, necrophilia, bestiality, cross dressing, etc, and a ever increasing long list of sexual deviate behaviors. Homosexuality was removed from this list by fiat in 1973. Political pressure (as it is today) was brought to bare against the American psychologist and psychiatrist association not by a scientific evaluation, but by a show of hands (a vote). Of course, this group met in San Francisco, so what more can I say. Now the pedophiles in the North American Man Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) are trying to get pedophilia legalized. Homosexuality is not a gene, birth defect, or anything that can be identified scientifically. This science is much like the recently debunked man-made global warming hoax. In this case, the data was cooked. In the case of homosexuality, there was no supporting data at all (click HERE for more info). Homosexuality is an identity and lifestyle. Homosexuality is a proclivity like many other things. Homosexuality is a psychological disorder. Whatever, it should never be licensed in the State of Texas. God save Texas.

Poor Wilber Is Changing His Views On Debra Medina

2010-02-13T19:53:00.000-08:00

Debra Medina is running for Governor of Texas, and self-destructed on the Glenn Beck program on Friday, when she was asked if she supported the 9-11 Truthers (listen here). Then, she follows up with more stupidity the following day (the video above). In this follow-up, she continues to say she is going to 'Champion" the right of others (Truthers) to question their Government (with insane, ridiculous, assertions). Don't get me wrong, questioning the Government and maintaining a healthy degree of skepticism at everything they do is important. But to waste time and energy on this kind of kooky stuff is beyond the pail.

To my great dismay, she didn't say to Glenn Beck when he asked the question..."of course not Glenn, are you crazy, I'm no stink'in Truther"? Did she do that....No....Miss Debra said that she doesn't support those Truther views, but thinks they have some legitimate argument that needs to be vetted. WTF?

OK Debra, then do you feel that way about the American Nazi Party, Communist Party USA, or our friends at NAMBLA. Any crazy organization in America is going to get a seat at your table? Needless to say, I am discouraged and dismayed that I may have to shift my support back to Rick Perry. Holy batshit, Batman.

After the Beck interview, I also found out she was rumored to have worked on the Ron Paul campaign. Now theres a bunch of coconuts, almost as wacky as the Ralph Nadar Greens and his band of Eco warriors. What in the hell was Debra Medina thinking? I'm so pissed off...that I invested in this campaign, and now learn my candidate may be some sort of a nut.

I've been on her Facebook page trying to get to the bottom of this, and I've been confronted by Truthers, Ron Paul memes, MoveOn.org and DNC operatives, and people in plain denial over this issue. If these are the voices advising Ms. Medina, she's finished. She needs to denounce the Truther movement in a strong way...and get that out now in a press release. The liberal media is picking up on this controversy, and they're piling in on her side because she looks more like a Libertarian than a Republican to them. The entire world has gone mad.

Things Going On I Don't Like

2010-02-06T08:52:00.000-08:00

So-called Conservatives making arguments for open "gayness" in the military. Let me state for the record, there is no "Conservative" view of open gayness or gay marriage. What this is actually, is rhetoric from social liberals that happen to hold some fiscal conservative positions. This is the kind of garbage spread by the likes of Cindy McCain (and her skank daughter), Margret Hoover, Lynn Chaney, and other so-called liberal Republicans. There is no "conservative" position on open homosexuality in the military (or so-called "gay" marriage), only liberal ones. At least be honest. Social conservatives believe marriage should be between a man and women, and open homosexuality in the military is counter productive to good order and discipline. There is no Constitutional right to serve in the military. That’s what Conservatives believe, so let there be no confusion.

I am also very concerned about Sarah Palin’s support of John McCain in his bid for re-election in Arizona. If John were a more honorable politician, he would retire. However, I disagree with those who say Sarah owes John something. John McCain put Sarah on the ticket for his own benefit, not too help Palin. He knew he needed to energize the enervated conservative GOP base, and that’s exactly what Sarah Palin did. Palin ought to have great resentment towards McCain campaign strategists (i.e. Steve Schmidt) who rolled Sarah out into an L shaped ambush designed by Democrat cheerleaders Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson. Holy batshit Batman, that was the dumbest thing I think I’ve ever witnessed. McCain did his part as well, by delivering two terrible debate performances …not to mention his stubborn refusal to attack Obama where he was most vulnerable. Who can also forget his campaign suspension (with great fanfare) to only go back to Washington to vote for TARP…both supported by the unpopular Bush and his political opponent, Barack Hussein Obama. Without the fire of Sarah Palin, the McCain campaign would have replicated the previous Bush I and Bob Dole campaigns…both two big yawns. Sarah should say goodbye to John, and leave him on his own to defend his Maverick rejection of conservative principles over the years.

I hate to keep picking on Sarah, but she should also reconsider going to Texas and campaigning for Rick Perry. Perry is much like McCain, in that he is a conservative when he campaigns, but governs like a liberal or a Rockefeller Republican. Perry is hell bent on building a network of toll roads through Texas, and turning management over to foreign companies. These toll roads would require eminent domain confiscation of private property, and has been a hotbed of controversy in Texas. Perry efforts were squashed by the legislature, but he remains determined. Perry additionally tried to force Texas school girls to take the Guardisil injections as a requirement to enter public schools. Parents in Texas rightly saw this as Government intrusion on their parental rights, and the measure was rejected by the legislature. Perry again was unapologetic. Sarah Palin should back off her commitment to campaign for Perry, and throw her support behind Debra Medina. Medina, a nurse, a small business owner, is gaining a great deal of support inside the Texas Tea Party movement. Medina is not a professional politician, is more conservative than Perry, and is much more compatible with Palin’s views on government.

High Taxes - Hybrid Socialism - The End of Abundance

2010-01-31T09:09:00.000-08:00

Socialism, meaning that we separate the money earned by others to the benefit of those who did not contribute is a system that ultimately will fail.

Socialism's allure to the 'poor man' is also its fatal flaw. Socialism, like the fool that kills the golden goose to loot the gold that must be inside...only finds the organs and guts of an ordinary goose.

The allure of Socialism from a politician's perspective is really simple, in that if you rob productive Peter to pay unproductive Petra, Paul, and Mary... you'll always have the unwavering support of unproductive Petra, Paul, and Mary. Look at the recent vote in Oregon to tax the rich. The rich right now can leave Oregon, and they will eventually. New businesses will avoid Oregon, because it is hostile to entrepreneurs. As I understand it, many businesses and wealthy are leaving California today...which will further erode its tax base. If Hussein Obama's, Pelosi's, and Reid's Socialistic policies are spread nationally, there will be nowhere left to go....and the idea of America dies.

When Socialism grabs more and more of income, it collapses under its own weight (i.e. USSR) as the motivation to produce dies in the culture. The economic collapse just takes longer in hybrid versions of Socialism found in Europe, Canada, and now in the USA.

Hybrid socialism doesn't kill the golden goose immediately, but it take most of the goose's feed corn so she produces fewer and fewer 'golden' eggs to feed the masses. Socialism is the end of abundance, which builds naturally as free men in a free market strive to improve their lot in life.

Quote Of The Week - From the LA Times, no less!

2010-01-30T07:09:00.000-08:00

"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a
strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office.

I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state even comes close.

When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we're number one.

There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of
Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a
cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'.

The three of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of
speech.

You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply
marvel at their ability to form words."

Gays In The Military - Bring Your Kevlar Butt Shields - or One More Trip Over Brokeback Mountain.

2010-01-29T16:42:00.000-08:00

BO, predictably in his first SOTU speech, offered to remove any restraint to 'open' gayness in the US military. Why then do we need to have male and female bathrooms and showers? To force heterosexuals to live communally with homosexuals with only the UCMJ to keep order is foolish. If an openly gay person is outted, it creates the potential for all types of harassment charges inside a sometimes close and intimate living situation. Under the current policy, at least the illusion of normalcy is maintained. If it (the UCMJ) is sufficient for maintaining good order and discipline, then why separate men and women at all ? Mr. President, why don't you take a shower with our Gay friends, and rethink this whole thing. Our military is designed to protect the country, and is not some uber liberal social engineering trial balloon. This will create all kinds of social problems that commands will have to deal with and adds costs to already overstressed DoD budgets to support dependent lesbian and gay lovers of rump rangers and muff divers in every branch of service.

Progressives are as dangerous as Islamic radicals we are fighting, one wants to kill us, the other to disarm us. I can't get the potential image of two male homosexuals in dress blues close dancing at the next Infantry Ball.

McCain Should Step Down

2010-01-22T08:31:00.000-08:00

I don't know about you, but I'm still recovering and synthesizing what happened in Massachusetts last Tuesday. What does it all mean?

I was glad to see and hear most Republicans in the leadership restrained themselves from doing "end zone" dances. Scott Brown's victory was not a GOP victory by no means.

Most Democrats and still a few die hard Rockefeller Republicans still don't get it. I'm not sure even Scott Brown fully understands it, and perhaps was just as surprised by his success. Mr. Brown apparently didn't follow the sage advice of Republican strategists, who claimed after 2006 that the Party needed to move "left" to win. If anything, his victory debunks that line of thinking.

Brown stated a clear simple conservative message, and won by 5 points in the bluest of blue States. Scott Brown was was speaking his heart, and not campaign rhetoric filled with empty slogans. His best line Tuesday I thought was this..."and let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them". WHAT A GREAT CONCEPT!!!

As Conservatives survey the political landscape, I don't think we collectively are automatically going to pull the GOP lever. We learned the hard way that an "R" by the candidate is no guarantee you're going to get Conservative governance.

I have concerns, as we get into the 2010 campaign season, that Republican candidates like John McCain or Lindsay Graham understand that all is not forgiven. These GOP'ers were largely responsible for the downfall of the Republican Party in 2006 and 2008. Whether it was McCain-Feingold Campaign reform (recently overturned by the SCOTUS), McCain Kennedy Immigration reform, GOP legislation increasing the size of Government and entitlements, all of these things were part of that sad legacy. Compassionate conservatism was the cracked pot that lead to a substantial growth in the Federal Government and associated deficits. How can we easily forget the Bush administration's prosecution of two border agents for shooting a Mexican drug smuggler in the ass, or its failure to secure the border?

We should also mention, that John McCain's wife Cindy is finally "out of the closet", and is now actively campaigning for Gay marriage. This bunch of liberal Republicans must go.
Sarah Palin, who plans to help John McCain campaign for his Senate seat, needs to rethink that strategy. I wish John McCain himself would rethink it. What is it about power that all of these aging Senators refuse to leave office (unless carried out in a casket)? John McCain needs to move aside and make room for a younger Conservative with new ideas. John McCain should step down, and Arizona find another Scott Brown to replace him. Please John, don't run. We don't need you in the Senate.

Likewise, Sarah Palin's plans to campaign for Rick Perry, the incumbent Governor of Texas, also is risky. Perry has problems of his own sticking to a Conservative platform. Sarah should await the outcome of the Republican primary, as a new an upcoming Conservative (Debra Medina) is getting a great deal of attention from the Texas Tea Party movement. Sarah's premature support of Perry may even damage her Conservative credentials.

In any case, much soul searching ahead.

Will Massachussetts Host Their Second Tea Party in Our History?

2010-01-16T08:45:00.000-08:00

Like most, I never would have imagined that a special election in the very liberal State of Massachusetts would decide whether the Government takeover of Health Care succeeds. If Brown wins, there can be no doubt God in Heaven continues to shine his Devine Providence over the American Nation. The most desperate time in American history, especially the winter of 1777, Washington by the hand of God escaped across the Delaware. His Army, and the American dream of independence, barely avoided a final and crushing defeat. Now Massachusetts, most unexpectedly, might lead us back.

EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT OF THE FIRST BOSTON TEA PARTY.....

George Hewes was a member of the band of "Indians" that boarded the tea ships that evening. His recollection of the event was published some years later. We join his story as the group makes its way to the tea-laden ships:

"It was now evening, and I immediately dressed myself in the costume of an Indian, equipped with a small hatchet, which I and my associates denominated the tomahawk, with which, and a club, after having painted my face and hands with coal dust in the shop of a blacksmith, I repaired to Griffin's wharf, where the ships lay that contained the tea. When I first appeared in the street after being thus disguised, I fell in with many who were dressed, equipped and painted as I was, and who fell in with me and marched in order to the place of our destination.

The Boston Tea Party

When we arrived at the wharf, there were three of our number who assumed an authority to direct our operations, to which we readily submitted. They divided us into three parties, for the purpose of boarding the three ships which contained the tea at the same time. The name of him who commanded the division to which I was assigned was Leonard Pitt. The names of the other commanders I never knew. We were immediately ordered by the respective commanders to board all the ships at the same time, which we promptly obeyed. The commander of the division to which I belonged, as soon as we were on board the ship, appointed me boatswain, and ordered me to go to the captain and demand of him the keys to the hatches and a dozen candles. I made the demand accordingly, and the captain promptly replied, and delivered the articles; but requested me at the same time to do no damage to the ship or rigging. We then were ordered by our commander to open the hatches and take out all the chests of tea and throw them overboard, and we immediately proceeded to execute his orders, first cutting and splitting the chests with our tomahawks, so as thoroughly to expose them to the effects of the water.

In about three hours from the time we went on board, we had thus broken and thrown overboard every tea chest to be found in the ship, while those in the other ships were disposing of the tea in the same way, at the same time. We were surrounded by British armed ships, but no attempt was made to resist us.

...The next morning, after we had cleared the ships of the tea, it was discovered that very considerable quantities of it were floating upon the surface of the water; and to prevent the possibility of any of its being saved for use, a number of small boats were manned by sailors and citizens, who rowed them into those parts of the harbor wherever the tea was visible, and by beating it with oars and paddles so thoroughly drenched it as to render its entire destruction inevitable."

Now, if Massachusetts could discover again the ability to resist the unfairness the Democrats have unleashed....crafting legislation without open representation. Criminals do their work behind closed doors as well.

Why Should Iowa Decide...Again?

2010-01-08T16:32:00.000-08:00

In the aftermath of the last Presidential election, "some" GOP hopefuls are sniffing around Iowa and New Hampshire. I for one am very tired of this drill. So the question is again, why should Iowa or New Hampshire decide who the nominee should be this time around? By the time the decision gets to the big States (i.e. Texas, or even crazy California), the decision is already made.

I can't stand the thought of another squishy neo-con who campaigns like George Wallace, but votes like George McGovern when he or she gets to Washington. If Micheal Steele is serious about listening to the Tea Party movement, then we need to start thinking about how we are going to keep independents and Democrats from deciding who the nominee is going to be. I'm talking about the foolishness of open primaries. The next primary, every Obama voter is going to vote in GOP primaries to nominate the most repugnant candidate (to Conservatives) in the field. We need a conservative populist, and one not too eager to reach across the aisle to sell out the people who worked so hard to put them in office.

Mitt Romney is an undependable conservative and certainly no populist. Tim Pawlenty is not a populist, and mostly a moderate. Ronald Reagan was a conservative and populist. Mike Huckabee is a conservative and populist. Sarah Palin is a conservative and populist. If we are going to win in 2012, we will need a populist. More importantly, we need a principled conservative.. Iowa should not decide. New Hamphire should not decide. Open primaries need to be closed to Republican voters. Why does the GOP establishment hate conservative populists? Who knows, but when they select big Government moderates like John McCain, they sink like a battleship.

Push All Muslims Through the Body Scanners

2009-12-31T11:39:00.000-08:00

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.

What We Need Again

2009-12-29T16:19:00.000-08:00

"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.

Another Terrorist Attack Under Obama

2009-12-27T07:49:00.000-08:00

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?

Merry Christmas

2009-12-24T14:08:00.000-08:00

MERRY Christmas.

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.

Missouri's Claire McCaskill

2009-12-22T07:25:00.000-08:00

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.

Hananaka Song

2009-12-21T14:14:00.000-08:00

object width="425" height="344">

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.

Thanks to You... Democrats...The Commies are Dancing

2009-12-21T08:31:00.000-08:00

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.

Fight or Die

2009-12-19T09:22:00.000-08:00

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.

Smile, it is Christmas.

Judeo Christian Choice

2009-12-13T16:56:00.000-08:00

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?

On the OUTSIDE Looking In

2009-12-12T09:58:00.001-08:00

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".

Creating Jobs

2009-12-04T14:48:00.000-08:00

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.

Politics Chicago Style

2009-11-16T15:47:00.000-08:00

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.

Political Correctness and Gun Control

2009-11-08T15:38:00.000-08:00

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.

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, ala RealClearPolitics.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 Palin et al, one poll has Hoffman leading with 31%, Owens at 27% and Scozzafava at 20%.

PRAY FOR AMERICA.

Boy Scout Suspended for Bringing Mess Kit to School

2009-10-12T17:24:00.000-07:00

By IAN URBINA

Published: October 11, 2009

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.

Send a Pink Slip to Everyone in Congress.

2009-10-10T06:32:00.000-07:00

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.

The Death of the WE Car and Zombie Motors

2009-10-04T10:51:00.000-07:00

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.

Healthcare....Funny Smackdown of MoveON.org Ad

2009-10-04T08:35:00.000-07:00

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.

He used the Presidency to gain the gold,
But the teleprompter crashed and nothing was sold.
