I can't believe they would be this obvious

But I guess I underestimate their love and devotion for their Lord and Messiah.

My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.

I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an www.obama2004.com sign.

Whoever was in charge of that should be tarred and feathered. I knew that the National Educators Association was a hard-left, Democrat American Communist Party supporting group, but this is so flat out blatant that it makes my jaw drop.

Between this, and the Media giving Obama a tongue bath every time he makes a TV appearance, I don't think I recognize half of this country anymore.

They try to hide it with words

But Obama is a friggin' communist. Period. And the sad part is that a lot of folks in the USA don't look at that as a bad thing.



Whatever. I'm wondering just how long it would take into the Obama Presidency before this country no longer exists as a free democracy.

Good advice for McCain

And my quote of the day:

You don't win by covering up bullshit with false comity. You win by calling the bullshit.

I don't care how much you "reached across the aisle", Jonny Boy, the Democrats American Communist Party only sees that as weakness, and they'll stab you in the back the first chance they get. They don't care about integrity, or bi-partisanship. They only care about power, and who holds it.

Ahem...

Yours truly, from 2006.

So while we all admit that Foley should be strung up by his shriveled nutsack and beaten to death, if a Dimocrat should try to make a big deal of this in front of you, please remind them that the Republicans kick the paedophiles out of Congress. The Dimocrats protect their paedophiles and keep them in Congress, as proven by Gerry Studds and Barney Frank. So ask them which party they support. The party of punishing paedophiles, or the party of proudly having paedophiles represent them in congress?

The conservatives deal with their bad apples. We dealt with Trent Lott. We'll deal with Foley. It's part of being an adult and fixing problems. The Dimocrats refuse to deal with any problems they have. They deny the problem, blame someone else, and then pray that the whole mess just blows over so that they don't have to change anything, which is why the Dimocrats have a Grand Kleagle of the KKK and a drunken murdering lush as congresscritters.

Ahem....

West Palm Beach Congressman Tim Mahoney (D-FL), whose predecessor resigned in the wake of a sex scandal, agreed to a $121,000 payment to a former mistress who worked on his staff and was threatening to sue him, according to current and former members of his staff who have been briefed on the settlement, which involved Mahoney and his campaign committee.

(.....)

Senior Democratic leaders in the House of Representatives, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL), the chair of the Democratic Caucus, have been working with Mahoney to keep the matter from hurting his re-election campaign, the Mahoney staffers said.

When you are part of a political philosophy that eschews silly things like morals and standards, that opens up the window to all kinds of behavior, doesn't it? And since you don't give a shit about anything but yourself, you don't even have to feel bad about cheating on your wife! Morals? Standards? Those are for some other schlub, not the anointed of the Democrat American Communist Party!

I swear.... it's too damn predictable some days. Gateway Pundit has more.

I wish that I could say

That I'm not like this guy who emailed Instapundit.

This is surely small of me, but if Obama wins, I plan on giving him as much of a chance as the Democrats gave George Bush. I will gleefully forward every paranoid anti-Obama rumor that I see, along with YouTube footage of his verbal missteps. I will laugh and email heinous anti-Obama photoshop jobs, and maybe even learn photoshop myself to create some. I'll buy anti-Obama books, and maybe even a "Not My President" t-shirt. I'm sure that the mainstream bookstores won't carry them, but I'll be on the lookout for anti-Obama calendars and stuff like that. I will not wish America harm, and if the country is hurt (economically, militarily, or diplomatically) I will truly mourn. But i will also take some solace that it occurred under Obama's watch, and will find every reason to blame him personally and fan the flames.

But you know what? I am like that guy. I used to be able to have a conversation about politics with people who have different views. Right now I can think of one person who I'm still able to speak to about politics that isn't in convergence with my viewpoint.

I don't remember who first named me "Raging Dave", but it was back on Right-Thinking from the Left Coast. I had finally had enough. Enough of people calling me a Nazi, reTHUGlican, brownshirt, jackbooted goose-stepping myrmidon, whatever. I had enough of people who refused to deal with logic in any form and went straight for the personal destruction. You want to have your life changed? Have someone call you a baby-killer for your military service. If I supported the war but hadn't served, I was a chickenhawk. If I supported the war and I was in the military, I was a blood-thirsty murderer. I had an idiot email me about that, which I posed about here.

I want folks to go read that post. THAT is what we're up against. THAT is what we're dealing with. Total lunacy. Unhinged hatred, seething in a cauldron of toxic insanity.

So no, I'm not going to be nice if McCain loses. I may end up putting a billboard on my roof, shouting Obama's failures to the world. I don't really care at this point. Obama in the Oval Office would be tantamount to putting a temper-tantrum throwing toddler at the helm. A pants-shitting, red in the face screaming three-year old in damn near every sense of the word. THAT is who would be in control.

And I won't give him the respect I give a crack-whore. Because he's lower than a crack-whore.

So I know exactly where Instapundit's emailer is coming from. I know what he's feeling. And I'm right on board with him.

I've seen this point made

At a few places. Drumwaster's for example:

If Barack Obama were looking for a job with a Defense Contractor, he wouldn’t be able to do so. Why? He would fail the Background Investigation because of his relationships with people identified as terrorists or terrorist supporters. Yet he is quite close to being the man who gets to grant those clearances to others.

Think about it.

Dick, guest-blogging at Neanderpundit:

When I served nuclear duty as a B-Man (the NCO who had the other two numbers to launch the 440 kiloton thermonuclear missiles, *which required a CTSA security clearance), if I would have written in Williams Ayers as an acquaintance, even in passing, I would have never of been cleared, and probably been jailed.

Yet 50% of the morons in this country want to give that fucking terrorist the football.

Would somebody please tell me what’s wrong with this picture?

Obama wouldn't qualify for a Secret clearance in the military. Period. Hell, I doubt that he could obtain a Confidential clearance. But thanks to his legions of Marxist goons, he's about to be voted into the top intelligence spot in the USA. And to the Left, that's a feature not a bug.

What a shock

Economists are as negative on the Obama tax plan as I am. Maybe it's because the people who know how the economy works recognize socialism when they see it.

If McCain had any balls left....

He'd be buying these ads and running them all over the country.

And let me make myself clear. I think that McCain used to have big brass balls. You don't survive what he did without 'em. But too many years in the Republican Stupid Party seems to have castrated him. He's pulling punches that he should be letting fly. Because if McCain plays nice against a Marxist like Obama, he's going to lose. And then we'll have a Communist in the White House with a Communist controlled Congress.

And at that point, we are fucked to the tenth power.

You want proof that the Republican Stupid Party is through? Done? Finished as a major political movement?

Because they're not the ones making the ads I linked to. They should be. Or they at least should be airing them on as many TV stations as possible. But no, the Stupid Party is curling up, pissing down their legs and whining "PLEASE DON'T HIT ME! MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP!" Whatever. The Stupid Party is losing members like an oak tree loses leaves in the fall, and they won't stop losing members until a conservative pulls the party back to sanity.

ACORNholes' "votes" count but not our soldiers?

While Barack Hussein Obama continues to spew MainStreamMedia enabled lies about his Brownshirted ACORNholes' voter fraud and conspiratorial conduct to bully financial lenders into Affirmative Action suicide, we should remember that ACORN supports illegal immigrants too:

HUD Mum on Illegal Mortgages

A retired agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that five million illegal immigrants nationwide may hold home mortgages.

While Barack Hussein Obama promises to include his Brownshirted ACORNholes' in his administration, via Allahpundit :

Video: The obligatory “Obama says ACORN will help set his agenda, sort of” clip

It is true that Deepak Bhargava, the current executive director of CCC, used to work as ACORN’s legislative director, but unless I missed something, I don’t even see the group listed as an official CCC partner.
In other words, The One’s promising community organizers generally that they’ll play a role in shaping his policies. Anyone surprised? Remember, this is a guy whose supporters use this part of his CV to compare him to Jesus.

In spite of the fact that ACORN is a Marxist organized crime syndicate:

The ACORN Effect: A massive fraud ...

Barack Obama's favorite left-wing community organizing group -- is finally getting the scrutiny from law enforcement it deserves.
...

ACORN, with "franchises" in 110 cities, has been accused of submitting inaccurate or fraudulent voter registrations in at least nine states, including Ohio and Pennsylvania. Perjury and fraud charges are being weighed in Allegheny County.
In 2006, ACORN signed a consent decree with Washington state agreeing to refrain from improper voter registration activities or face criminal prosecution.
It's no secret who benefits most from the 1.3 million new voters ACORN has recently registered in 21 states, including Pennsylvania. Expanding voter turnout is key to Democrats electing Mr. Obama, who in the 1990s showered ACORN's Chicago office with public-private funding he controlled and provided with personal-leadership training.
But ACORN repeatedly has shown it can't be trusted. Are its new voters real or are they frauds? Are they ghosts using names of dead people or former Dallas Cowboys players? Are they duplicates of real voters?

Every fraudulent vote cancels out a real citizen's vote. How is that not disenfranchisement? And how is it the (D)emocrats are still suppressing the votes of our military?

Many of U.S. soldiers' overseas ballots go uncounted

The number of absentee military ballots applied for that ultimately get counted is consistently low. In the last federal election, only about 30 percent of overseas military ballots were tallied, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission, which monitors election problems, and the Pew Center on the States.

Gonna go watch some football.

And I probably won't be back until late. So, if you REALLY need your blogage, might I suggest the blogroll over to the right?

Am I surprised?

Nope. There's a reason I call them the American Communist Party.

Barack Hussein Obama

Video and links on Barack Hussein Obama's "associates".

Obama's Posse
Obama's Posse : Ayers

I don't dare put it here because there is just too much.

The fact is a lot of nice people said to themselves 'what a nice young Hawaiian' and the MainStreamMedia, with full knowledge of his extremism, has run interference. So what have we learned and struggled to communicate about this fraud over the last few months? That in spite of Barack Hussein Obama's transparently false claims that he is a "centrist", his earliest father figure was a communist, he sought out a black grievance culture in college, sought out and married a black grievance hater, exploited Affirmative Action programs he didn't deserve as an affluent product of a private school system, that he sought out and invested in relationships with Marxist racists posing as preachers, sought out and invested in relationships with Marxist terror bombers posing as educators, sought out and invested in relationships with Muslim terrorists, sought out and invested in relationships with Syrian mobsters tied to Saddam Hussein, sought out and invested in relationships with anti-Semites and haters blocked from positions of power because of their well documented extremist views... And 3000 of these "associates" will be coming to the Barack Hussein Obama administration to be put on the government payroll and granted the power of law to screw over anyone who is not them.

When Barack Hussein Obama is wrong, as he was about Iraq, he demonstrates a mindlessly narrow self-delusional refusal to accept the facts and this is clearly reflected in his lifetime world-view and intent to impose Socialist policies long discredited over the 20th century.

You think you know? Did you know Ayer's stepson has an office next to Hugo Chavez? Did you? Bring your barf bag and hit those links and weep for our children.

Hell with it...

No more blogging for me today. I've got some friends coming over later. I have three racks of ribs, and two chickens. I have a smoker/grill combo out back that those ribs and chickens will be sitting on. And I have a pile of apple wood that I'm going to be using to smoke those ribs and chickens.

I think four hours will work for the ribs. Maybe three for the chickens. Especially if I shove a can of beer up their wazoo before I throw 'em in the smoker.

I'll need more beer.

See ya.

I know I don't do video blogging....

But if I did, I'm pretty sure I would sound like this guy.



The more that comes out about Obama, the more that the Media tries to cover up for Obama, the more votes that ACORN steals.....

The more the average joe gets pissed off.

ACORN strikes again.

In Pennsylvania.

Justice Sandra Newman, accompanied by Dauphin County District Attorney Edward Marsico and Pennsylvania Republican State Chairman Robert Gleason, expressed her concerns at a Harrisburg press conference this morning. A thick document replete with photo copies of phony registrations and aerial shots of vacant lots used as "addresses" for "voters" was handed out to journalists.

"Between March 23rd and October 1st, various groups, including ACORN, submitted over 252,595 registrations to the Philadelphia County Election Board" with 57, 435 rejected for faulty information. "Most of these registrations were submitted by ACORN, and rejected due to fake social security numbers, incorrect dates of birth, clearly fraudulent signatures, addresses that do not exist, and duplicate registrations. In one case, a man was registered to vote more than 15 times since the Primary election."

Can we get FEDERAL CHARGES brought against these worthless bastards, please? IS ANYONE GOING TO JAIL OVER THIS CRAP?????

I keep hearing about how there'll be riots if Obama loses this election. I say bring it on. I'd love to see the cheating, worthless, anti-American fuckwits turn themselves into legitimate targets. Bring it, beeyotches. I've got some 7.62X39 ammo that's a little old and needs to be used up.

Blogrolling working again.

I guess they were just having hiccups.

Stock up on ammo

The USA, as a capitalist, free country, is over.

My mother told me years ago that she expects another civil war in this country. She was hoping that she would be dead and gone before it happens. Given how healthy my parents are, I'm wondering if that'll happen.

This next civil war won't be between states themselves, mom says. It'll be between Rural and independent people, and the sheeple who populate the big cities and demand bigger and more powerful overlords for themselves and everyone else. The seeds of this were set, in my opinion, by the Seventeenth Amendment, which changed how the US Senate was elected.

For those who don't know (and given the state of US Education today I really can't blame you for that) the 17th Amendment to the US constitution took the US Senate, which was elected by STATE legislatures, and changed it so that the US Senate was elected by popular vote in the state.

In short, we have two houses of Representatives now. One very critical check in the system of checks and balances was removed. The Senate might as well not exist, because it's been changed to resemble something else.

In any case.... the more I look around, the more I'm starting to come to the conclusion that we're fucked. Well and truly fucked. THE GOVERNMENT IS IN CHARGE OF OUR ECONOMY, PEOPLE!!!!! The VERY SAME PEOPLE who fucked it up so badly are now in control of it!

The country that used to be the United States of America is now the United Socialist States of America. The Democrat American Communist Party has taken one huge step towards their goal, aided and abetted by the craven opportunism of the Republican Stupid Party.

We're fucked. Buy guns and ammo. And if Obama gets elected through the cheating methods of ACORN and like-minded traitors, buy LOTS of ammo. Because McCain isn't going to change anything. He's not going to make anything better. He's not going to reverse the damage. He's just going to give us more time to prepare, that's all. He's a band-aid on an arterial wound. He's part of the problem.

Is it just me

Or do my blogrolls not come up for some reason? Anyone else having this problem?

UPDATE: I can't even get onto the Blogrolling webpage. So maybe it ain't just me.

Quote of the Day

From a must read post at The Smallest Minority.

I am a new NRA member. I have been a citizen for only fourteen years. I believe in the Constitution and the Second Amendment, and when I see Obama, I see Communism, and I am afraid. I believe he is going to win the election. Do you have any plans in place if this happens?

And that's from someone who's seen communism and the damage it causes first-hand.

ACORN at it again

Can we finally get people sent to jail yet? PLEASE?

Two Ohio voters, including Domino's pizza worker Christopher Barkley , claimed yesterday that they were hounded by the community-activist group ACORN to register to vote several times, even though they made it clear they'd already signed up.

Barkley estimated he'd registered to vote "10 to 15" times after canvassers for ACORN, whose political wing has endorsed Barack Obama, relentlessly pursued him and others.

This is how the Democrat American Communist Party wins elections. They cheat. They steal. And they're destroying this country by doing so. They'll force their socialist agenda on this country by any means possible.

Anyone who votes (D) this election is either a liar, a fraud, a crook, a traitor, or all of the above.

Unpossible!

Man shot three times for wearing Obama tee-shirt?

In London?

But, but, but... they've banned all handguns! It couldn't have possibly happened!

Link found at lots of blogs.

Well, at least someone gets it in the media

Unfortunately for us, it's the Canada Free Press.

The secret to selling bad ideas is to make sure they are the only ones available. This is how totalitarian regimes take power. Whether it was Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany or Vladimir Lenin in Communist Russia, the pattern is largely the same – totalitarian dictators come to power by enshrining themselves as cults of personality and then creating political monopolies through often less than delicate campaigns of indoctrination and censorship – especially censorship enshrouded in the intimidating aura of state power.

Ironically, these cloven-tongued leaders often rise to dominance by preaching power to those they will dominate, provision to those they will impoverish, and liberty to those they will force into state labor. Whether they claim to be left or right, revolutionary or reactionary, communist or fascist, the result is always the same – tyranny.

The blame for Obama getting this close to being president is two-fold.

One: The education establishment in this country is far Left, and has been for decades. They've now indoctrinated at least two generations, possibly three or four, with the kind of Leftist ideals that always lead to failure.

Two: The Republican Party, which went from strong and principled to a bunch of spineless, Democrat-wanna-be, big government, nanny statist fucking traitors. If the Republican Party had not abandoned EVERY SINGLE PRINCIPAL which it stood for, we wouldn't be saddled with a RINO for our Presidential nominee.

But here's the problem. If we all sit this one out and let Obama get elected, we're fucked. Done. This country still cannot recover from what Jimmah the Peanut Carter did to it with a Democrat American Communist Party congress. Community Re-Investment Act, anyone?

That's come back to bite us in the ass TWENTY YEARS LATER. And Obama is ten times the communist that Jimmah was. We cannot afford a Communist President with a Communist Congress. You might as well wave bye-bye to the formerly great country of the US of A as it swirls down the toilet bowl.

But the Republican Stupid Party has given us a limp noodle to vote for. The only bright part of this election is Sarah Palin. That's why the Left has been in all out search-and-destroy mode ever since she was announced. That's why the traitorous media, the propaganda mouthpieces for the American Communist Party, has people digging through trash dumpsters in Alaska while they completely ignore all of Obama's shady connections.

Fuck it. I'm buying more ammo. We're stuck between a choice of Communists on the Left and Big-Government nanny-statists on the Right. I'm about to vomit watching the country that I love commit suicide.

Las Vegas ACORN offices raided

Nevada state authorities seized records and computers Tuesday from the Las Vegas office of an organization that tries to get low-income people registered to vote, after fielding complaints of voter fraud.

Bob Walsh, spokesman for the Nevada secretary of state's office, told FOXNews.com the raid was prompted by ongoing complaints about "erroneous" registration information being submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also called ACORN.

The group was submitting the information through a voter sign-up drive known as Project Vote.

"Some of them used nonexistent names, some of them used false addresses and some of them were duplicates of previously filed applications," Walsh said, describing the complaints, which largely came from the registrar in Clark County, Nev.

Yep, ACORN. Obama's pals, ACORN. If McCain doesn't beat Obama like a rented mule in tonight's debate with this, he deserves to lose.

It's like a sewer

The more you dig, the more shit you find. Obama would be the first person to take away private firearms and wipe his ass with the 2nd Amendment. And at this point, I'm certain that he's aware just how far Left he is, and he's trying to hide it.

ABOUT FRIGGIN' TIME!

I don't need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn't seek advice from a Chicago politician.

Finally! Republicans have been too damn nice to the corrupt communists of the Left. It's about time McCain finally pulled out the knives that Obama has shoved in his back and started to return the blows.

This crisis started in our housing market in the form of subprime loans that were pushed on people who could not afford them. Bad mortgages were being backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it was only a matter of time before a contagion of unsustainable debt began to spread. This corruption was encouraged by Democrats in Congress, and abetted by Senator Obama.

Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.

Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in. As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, "a good idea." Well, Senator Obama, that "good idea" has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

About damn time. We'll see if it's enough to pull ahead.

Well, yes.

The American Farmer has come upon a realization that has struck quite a few people quite a few times. But he boils it down quite nicely.

Liberals don’t understand violence. At all.

On a personal level, they don’t understand that anger can be directed and vented without causing harm, emotional or physical, to anyone or anything. They don’t understand that instruments of violence can be used in a way that doesn’t actually hurt anything. I think most importantly, they don’t understand that the inherent instinct to violence in men can be molded and shaped into a protective instinct rather than a predatory instinct.

With their misconception that all violence is inherently predatory, the only solution is that all violence must be banned. Thus – peace rallies, gun bans, and metrosexuals. They believe there is never (or perhaps, only extremely rarely) a justified use of violence, so all acts of violence are equally abhorrent, all people capable of violence need to be reprogrammed, and all instruments of violence need to be confiscated or rendered impotent. They fear violence, and those capable of it, so they seek to control people and things capable of violence via government.

Liberals do not understand the difference between violent+protective vs. violent+predatory. The mugger employs violence to cause enrich himself. I use violence to protect my family and my country. Those who beat their swords to plowshares usually end up plowing for the people who kept their swords.

Here is why...

Although voting for some Republican Stupid Party members makes me dry heave, I still hold my nose and pull the lever for the (more) conservative individual.

Because dry heaves are preferable to full-on projectile vomiting.

Familiar Territory

For Seattle fans, anyways.

The Mariners? Done, sitting at home after sitting at the bottom of their division for damn near all year. I think there were a couple of days when they had a game or two on Texas, but they didn't last very long.

The Seahawks? Done in by injuries. I know they've gotten Branch and Engram back, but I think it's too little too late. We'll see if they can get back into the swing of things, but I'm looking at this year and just wondering if it's going to be the Seahawks of the 80's and early 90's all over again.

The Seattle Sonics Oklahoma City Thunder? Do I need to say any more?

And my Washington State Cougs have fourteen, count 'em ONE TWO THREE FOURTEEN starters sitting on the bench in bandages and casts. They aren't going anywhere with a redshirt freshman QB.

Yeah. I'm in familiar territory.

American Hunters and Shooter Association

There's a shit-ton of Barak Obama radio ads playing in Wisconsin right now. One that they play over and over features "The President of the American Hunters and Shooters Association". I knew it was a front for the anti-gun crowd, but I wanted specifics.

Yeah.

Fake doesn't even begin to describe them. They're more fake than a porn-star's tits, with looser morals.

It figures they'd support Obama.

Hoosier

No, not the movie about the basketball players. A cabinet.


Being that this house is rather old, it doesn't have much of the space that a modern kitchen would have. It would in fact have a hoosier for the kitchen. Kind of a workspace/storage area. Well, the wife went out and bought a hoosier from an antique store. Problem is, we're not the richest folks around, so we had to get one that we knew would require some work to make it usable. The wife found one for about $250. But it's been painted, at least four times, and the last coat is orange. Like, fake hair dye orange. It's ugly as sin. So we'll be stripping that today. And we'll have to use a respirator, because the original paint is still there. And since it was build when it was, that means lead paint. Bad, bad juju. I'd prefer NOT to go insane after it's done, thanks.

One cool point - we opened up the cabinets in it, and found paperwork from the 1920's sitting in there. We'll be keeping those.

Painting done (for now)

The bedroom is finished. When we first bought the house, it had some sort of grey/brown/green mix of color on the walls. It just looked dreary. Plus it made the house dark as all hell, as if the paint just swallowed up any light that came in.

That ain't gonna work. I like my light. So we repainted. The front porch was a nasty pink, like Pepto Bismol that someone threw up all over the walls. Hell no, I won't have a pink frikkin' porch! So we painted that as well. It's now nicknamed "The Romper Room". We painted the dining room and the living room before we had all our household goods delivered. The bedroom was the last big painting mission.

Because every other room I deal with is getting completely redone.

I don't know when this house was built. The papers during the sale said "60+ years old". Yeah, no shit Sherlock. The more the wife and I poke around and look at the house, the more I'm convinced that this house was built in 1910-1920. There's a basement beneath the front part of the house, but only a crawlspace beneath the back part, which contains the kitchen, bathroom, my office and the sewing room. (It's the third bedroom, but we've given it other duties.) The floor changes dramatically from the dining room to the kitchen. The wood floors in the third bedroom don't match the rest of the house. And there is a chimney in the kitchen, now enclosed and out of use, that could only belong to a wood-burning stove.

What is going to be my office was, at some point in the past, the rear porch to the house. They had some crappy beadboard hanging up as walls. Well, it was coming loose, so I pulled it back to see what kind of insulation they had in the walls. You know what I saw staring back at me? The original siding of the house. Painted green, no less, with the original window still sitting in it. All they did was put some runners up, built a wall to enclose the porch, put a window in it and called it good. I don't know exactly when it happened, but we found two pennies behind the walls - one from 1964 and one from 1972. So, they closed it up in at least 1972, maybe a little later.

It's going to be interesting when I redo it. I wonder what else I'll find. Everything we've seen while we've done our touch-ups simply screams turn of the century. It's been updated and taken care of, but I would bet that this house was build around 1910.

I think it fits us rather well.

I ain't as good as I once was

I used to be able to sleep in all day long. I'd go to bed late, and then wake up fresh at the crack 'o noon. I could recharge my batteries in one friggin 24 hour period.

Last night I go to bed at eleven, and I purposely leave the alarm off. No damn alarm today. Nope, but there I was awake at 6:30 AM, bright eyed and bushy-tailed. So I gave up and started some coffee.

I'm turning into my father.

BOHICA

Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

The worthless criminals hide.

I am convinced that this "economic crisis" isn't a crisis at all. You want to know why? Because the people telling me that it's a crisis are just going about like business as normal. Case in point - loading down this bailout bill with shit-tons of earmarks.

Fucking thieves. Fucking oxygen thieves. I'm so glad that the event you say is a crisis, and the legislation you say is critical to the survival of our economy, can be used as just another vehicle to waste taxpayer money and help you get re-elected. Fuck every last bastard who voted for this bill, and that includes Sen. Craig of Idaho as well.

Thankfully, the Senator from my district voted against it. So I'm happy in that case.

But let's be clear - this was a manufactured crisis. It was manufactured in Congress, where the socialists and communists do what they do and royally screw the country. It was exacerbated by Congress, and now Congress is using this so-called crisis to fuck over the American taxpayer yet again.

I need to go vomit.

Picture?

I'm looking at the pictures of Biden and Palin on this page here. I've got to ask - are those pictures from the debate last night?

Because if they are, wow.... Biden looks like a friggin' ZOMBIE.

Sigh

Rope. Tree. Journalist.

Some assembly required.

House coming along

Yeah, we've got more to do. But it's looking like a house, and not a warehouse. Every box we empty out into it's proper location is a small victory.

This weekend is the last major push. Quite a bit to do. But once it's all done, I'll be able to sit on my couch, in my livingroom in my house, and think "Yep. It's mine."

VP Debate

Didn't watch it. Don't have TV hooked up, and I don't plan on getting it hooked up. But from what I'm reading, I missed a good debate. Good as in Saracuda ripping Joe "Smirky" Biden a new asshole.

Ah well. It's still not worth hooking up cable to see it.

Hmmmm.... seems some people disagree that Palin did very well.

Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

James Simpson has written an article, Barack Obama and the Strategy of Manufactured Crisis, so link rich, so informative, so profoundly disturbing, that you will read it and re-read it over the next couple of days.

For the first time I actually believe that the consequences of an American election could be violence because of the multitude of convergent 'causes'.

1) America's national defense will be disabled for a generation through budget cuts, program eliminations and appeasement. We will stand defenseless to nuclear blackmail from nations like North Korea because we will not be allowed to defend ourselves with proven missile defense systems abandoned by the Leftists.

2) American's individual liberties will be tossed aside by the very Leftists who have worked themselves into a frenzy of self-deluded fantasies about liberties supposedly lost to the "Bush Regime", or the "Patriot Act". Years of projection will be exposed as they will mobilize to "retaliate" for these imagined slights by doing exactly that which they falsely claimed was done to them. Remember it was Al Gore and Bill Clinton who tried to put the 'V'-chip into your cell phone to make it easier to monitor your conversations.

3) America's economy will be driven into a deep recession, with spiraling prices, exploding unemployment, and at every opportunity the "solutions" legislated and implemented will only compound the problems created by exactly those solutions. Throughout the entire debacle the MainStreamMedia will cheerlead the destruction, ignore the well documented folly of the Socialist programs, and blame every failure upon the previous administration and claim that the policies were preventing far worse from befalling us all. Hey, it worked for FDR.

4) Racial preference policies implemented by a Hawaiian with a chip on his shoulder, willing to appoint the worst haters into positions of authority, sheltered from responsibility for their excess, will lead to racial divisions unseen in decades and set back race relations in this country for generations.

In a word... America is headed towards decades of devolution.

Just.... Wow....

I'm betting that he demands to be called "Dear Leader" after this.

More facts we already knew

Yes, the MSM is in the tank for Obama. Duh. No kidding. The MSM has been giving the Democrat American Communist Party a tongue-bath for decades now, and shitting all over conservatives every chance they got. I've known this for years. I'm betting that most everyone who comes here and reads my rambling diatribes knew this as well. The MSM fudges the truth. The tell only half the story. And they flat out lie.

The sad part is, even when you shove the proof under a Leftists nose, they refuse to see it.

Fuck it. I'm stealing a line from Misha: Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.

A different meaning

When I lived in Puerto Rico, I would go over to my neighbor's house and we would have a cigar, maybe some rum. But invariably, as we sat under his carport talking, we would hear gunfire:

POP! POP! POP!POP!POP!POP!

Normally it was followed by other gunfire:

POP! POPPOP! BANG!BANG!BANG!

And we would sit there and wonder if a round was going to come through the window, or into the carport, or if someone we knew was going to get shot by some idiotic fucking drug dealing piece of shit with bad aim. I couldn't own a gun in Puerto Rico if my life depended on it, but the worthless pieces of shit who ran the drug world down there could get a fully auto AK-47. And they would fire them off on a regular basis.

Tonight, I go out to let the dog do her thing in the yard. I'm outside, watching her sniff for a spot to squat, and I hear units training on Ft. McCoy. I'm literally miles away, but I can still hear someone light off a .50 cal.

BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP! It's a sound that you can recognize if you've ever heard it before. Even now, years after I had the chance to push the trigger myself, I can hear that sound and think "That's a Ma Deuce."

Then I hear a 240B join in the mix. And I stand there, and think to myself.... This is the second place where I've heard automatic gunfire at night. But it has a different meaning here, doesn't it? It's not some hopped-up drug head capping a round in another hopped-up drug head's ass. The people firing those guns aren't some random criminal. They're people like you and I, training to make sure they get home alive.

Gunfire doesn't bother me here much. It's not that I don't hear it, but it has a different meaning.

Culture of Entitlement

Go check this out. You want to know why the housing market is failing? It's not just that the government forced banks to loan money to people who shouldn't have ever been given a loan - I read this and I almost crapped myself.

It was not easy to come to terms with this, to realize I would never recover that money. But once I did come to terms with it, I felt free, in charge of my own destiny and wallet. I was ready to walk away from the house, to propose a deed in lieu, or to foreclose if needed. [....]

After all, the bank loaned me $450,000 - and will end up making $600,000 on the deal, from my down payment, a year-plus of on-time mortgage payments, and the home sale for $405,000. But I will still be penalized. Make sense to you? Me neither. But oh f****ng well. The system is broken, and no one but Barney Frank seems to give a s**t about people like me.

Oh my god. Just..... holy crap. What a self-absorbed, ignorant,. stupid, idiotic, unprofessional, irresponsible bitch! Hey dipshit - You're going to pay $600,000 in the end because YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR MONEY TO BUY THE HOUSE! YOU'RE USING THE BANK'S MONEY, AND YOU DAMN SURE HAVE TO PAY TO USE SOMEONE ELSE'S MONEY!

My god.... And people like her are out there breeding and voting. No wonder this country has problems.

Obama lies about supporting the troops... again

Again... Gateway Pundit has the video

Obama Forgets the Name of Iraqi War Hero On His Bracelet

His troop bracelet was given to him by the mother of a soldier whose son was killed in the Iraq War.

Barack's ended his debate with a smug America-bashing rant. Peter Kirsanow:

Obama and the Debate: Proud of His Country?

Obama inexplicably chose to feed the narrative that he's smug, arrogant and condescending by repeatedly referring to McCain as "John" and by his behavior while McCain was speaking; on the split screen Obama's expression was one of disdain and he had a tendency to interrupt and talk over McCain as McCain was trying to wrap up a point.
...
...then Obama concludes by saying " I don't think any of us can say that our standing in the world now, the way children around the world look at the United States, is the same. " CLANG. He then states, reminiscent of Kerry's "Global Test", that we need to "show the world that we will invest in education" and "things that will allow people to live their dreams".

Criticizing George Bush or any of our other political leaders is one thing. Contending America's ideals and values are somehow suspect is a breathtaking statement for a prospective commander in chief to make, especially when thousands of Americans have given life and limb, sons and daughters, in brave demonstration of our ideals and values.

Here are a few of Barack Hussein Obama's smears and lies about the troops he is a candidate to lead:

“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D)

At a fancy '05 Manhattan fundraiser, Obama told the approving crowd that the Bush administration was using soldiers in Iraq as "cannon fodder."

“You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq. And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.” -- Barack Hussein Obama

..."oftentimes our women servicemembers are more prone to post-traumatic stress disorder partly because they — there's a sad, but real, problem of sexual harassment and sexual abuse for women veterans, and that makes them much more prone, then, to have post-traumatic stress disorder." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D)

"If you talk to commanders on the ground there, they'll tell you, 'Instead of having another platoon, I'd rather have a couple of agricultural specialists." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D) who hasn't been "on the ground there" in Afghanistan

Update via Gateway Pundit

Sick! Soldier's Family Told Obama Not to Wear Son's Bracelet!

And... Obama refused them.

Update from Jonah Goldberg reader

More Important than a Bracelet

While some are looking for confirmation whether Mrs. Jopek had asked Senator Obama to stop wearing (or using it) her son's wristband, what all are ignoring is Sergeant Jopek supported the mission in Iraq and died supporting a cause he believed in. That is Obama's greatest shame, that he has always failed to say that SGT Jopek gave all in a cause he believed in.

Yet that is just like what the liberal media failed to say when they propped up Cindy Sheehan. Not once to date in over 150 entries has the NY Times mentioned that Casey Sheehan 1) reenlisted knowing he would be deployed to Iraq, 2) volunteered for the rescue mission he died during, and 3) when told he did not have to volunteer, replied, "Where my Chief goes, I go." ('Chief' is the formal title for the head of a maintenance section in the U.S. Army. Casey Sheehan was a mechanic).

Quote of the Day

Hatred is what flows into the void created by the eviction of rational moral standards. No man can sustain a moral or emotional vacuum; the condition is lethal. He who holds to no standard must find someone or something to hate, lest he end up hating himself.

A totalitarian cannot and will not tolerate dissent, much less opposition. But the campaign to destroy the dissenter cannot be dispassionate, for there are no dispassionate passions. Such an undertaking must be powered by hatred.

Francis Porretto, Eternity Road.

Congress and the financial breakdown.

I haven't blogged about it much, because I've been reading, absorbing information, thinking it over, and wondering just what can be done to limit the damage that Congress has caused.

For those wondering, yes, I am blaming Congress. Not Wall Street. Congress. Idiots and lawyers who don't have a clue about economics, yet have put so many regulations in place on what was once a free market that this breakdown was going to happen sooner or later. Anyone remember Jamie Gorelick? The woman behind "The Wall", that prevented the CIA and FBI from talking to each other, resulting in a giant smoking hole in NYC? Yeah, THAT oxygen thief.

Did you know she also was in control of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac at one point? So that is TWO massive failures that she had her hands on. And yet she's still around, and she was a huge player in the Clinton administration. She's an absolute failure. At best she's incompetent. But she has political connections. Franklin Raines made millions of dollars when he was in charge of Mac/Mae, and now he's a top adviser to the Obama campaign. Congress has been fucking with this for two damn decades, and yet now their supposed to fix it?

Yeah, right. Congress is the problem, not the solution.

So I guess my knee-jerk response to this bailout plan is to say "NO!" and hit a congresscritter on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper. And that's based on the fact that the people who are the problem cannot be counted on to create a solution without screwing things up worse. Or inserting clauses for them to get rich off of our tax dollars.

Tighten up your seatbelts, folks. It's gonna get ugly no matter what happens.

UPDATE: Case in point -

The real purpose of section D is to send more funds to La Raza and ACORN through housing welfare, via the slush fund of the HTF. They want to float their political efforts on behalf of Democrats with public money, which was always the purpose behind the HTF. They did the same thing in April in the first bailout bill, setting aside $100 million in “counseling” that went in large part to ACORN and La Raza, and at least in the former case, providing taxpayer funding for a group facing criminal charges in more than a dozen states for fraud.

Fuck it. Kill the entire buyout fiasco. Let the markets solve the problem. Congress is too corrupt to fix anything, and any taxpayer money used by Congress is effectively wasted. No bill, no deal, nada. I don't trust the asscannons on Capitol Hill to do anything more than fund their re-election campaigns and line their own pockets.

Getting unpacked

Most of our stuff is still in boxes right now. We tossed quite a bit of furniture before we moved, just due to it being crappy and beaten up by Puerto Rico. So we don't have dressers yet, and we need a banquet for the living room.

And we need to build wardrobes. This house is so old that it was built without closets. We've got a big steamer trunk to hold all of our blankets, but we need something to hold our clothes. I'm working on that.

But I think it's coming along nicely.

Nice little rundown

Noel at Cold Fury has a nice little rundown of the Do-Nothing, most ethical Congress EVAH that must be read.

This Congress is a National Disgrace. Nancy Pelosi’s National Disgrace Congress of 2008.

Harsh? I don’t think so.

Take Charlie Rangel. On his 5-week paid vacation, he went to his tax-free Carribbean condo. It’s not supposed to be tax-free, it just worked out that way. Charlie is the Ways & Means Chairman, the committee which writes our tax laws. If he can’t understand his own tax laws what hope do the rest of us have?

Charlie blames the condo staff because they speak Spanish. But US tax law is written in English. Allegedly.

Joe Biden says paying high taxes is patriotic. I don’t think he should question Charlie’s patriotism like that.

It turns out that AIG had so much extra money laying around that they gave Charlie 10 million dollars for his “foundation”, because they care so deeply about good government. The Good News: surely they don’t need that giant bailout if they’ve got that kind of money to burn!

Will Charlie step down from his chaimanship? Of course not; this is the National Disgrace Congress.

Note that I am not surprised at how corrupt the Democrat American Communist Party controlled Congress is. Hell, I predicted it when they took over. The Left only cares about power, nothing else.

Insantiy is hereditary

Speaking of douchbags, get a load of this:

The son of state Rep. Mike Kernell has been contacted by authorities in connection with a probe into the hacking of personal e-mail of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, Kernell told The Tennessean.

Kernell, a Memphis Democrat, said his 20-year-old son David had been contacted by authorities investigating the hacking of Palin’s personal e-mail account, the newspaper reported on its Web site this afternoon.

Check out the kid's picture. Now, if you were going to put a photo of yourself online, wouldn't you want to avoid photos that look like you are a) stoned out of your mind, or b) masturbating furiously to midget porn?

And why am I not surprised that the people who broke the law in order too harass Gov. Palin are members of the Democrat American Communist Party? At least, I'm assuming that little Kernell is a Donk since his daddy is a Donk congresscritter at the state level.

Buckle up, folks. This election season is going to get rather sick.

Hoooooooo, boy

That's some nice tasty crazy, unhinged, lunatic bullshit right here: Biden says paying more taxes is patriotic.

So, Smirky Joe, when this country revolted and started tossing tea into Boston Harbor, (or for those of you in Boston, Bahstan Habah), I guess they were being unpatriotic.

We can plainly see the roots of the modern Democrat American Communist Party these days. They might as well whip out the Communist Manifesto and base their platform off of it.

Democrats

Is there anything they can't destroy and then blame on someone else?

The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership. And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and Democrats now decry as not only greedy but "predatory."

Yes, the market was fueled by greed and overleveraging in the secondary market for subprimes, vis-a-vis mortgaged-backed securities traded on Wall Street. But the seed was planted in the '90s by Clinton and his social engineers. They were the political catalyst behind this slow-motion financial train wreck.

And it was the Clinton administration that mismanaged the quasi-governmental agencies that over the decades have come to manage the real estate market in America.

Never let a lawyer meddle with the economy. And never let a Leftist anywhere near the levers of government. The results end up hurting everyone except for the rat-bastard commies who caused the problems in the first place. Because they make damn sure they got theirs, and screw everybody else.

This is so exciting.

I'm constantly trying to align myself to what I think he calls on me to do. And sometimes you hear it strongly and sometimes that voice is more muted.

What kind of republican douch would say that? I mean, talking to god? God talks to you and tells you how to live your life? Only a right-wing crazy would... OOOPS!

Amazing how the Leftists are attacking Sarah Palin because of her faith, and yet when Barak Obama was campaigning in churches all over the USA he got a pass.

Maybe because the Left thinks that Barak Obama doesn't believe it? I dunno.

Lindsay Lohan sez:

She said, "I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the United States, only 4 years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor, which is probably all she is qualified to be.

"Oh, and... Hint Hint Pali Pal - Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!"

Lohan -- who is rumored to be in a relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson -- also referenced Palin's views on homosexuality.

"Is it a sin to be gay?" Lohan asked. "Should it be a sin to be straight? Or to use birth control? Or to have sex before marriage? Or even to have a child out of wedlock?

"Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?"

More Bias

Can anyone tell me why McCain and Palin should even bother talking to the MSM at all? It's nothing but hit piece after hit piece, and hatred, and dripping bile.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over!

Back when I was little PVT Mangan in 2ID, a common saying when faced with something just stupid was "What the fuck?" I'm sure it's a common phrase for most of my readers as well. As I PCSed back to the states and realized that the politically-correct crotch-sniffers at Ft. Riley wouldn't accept that kind of language, "What the fuck?" changed to "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!", and if said over the radio (asking for clarification of a particularly idiotic order, for example) the "Over" was added. It's now pretty much ingrained into the part of my brain that controls my speech patterns. When I see something so stupid and idiotic that I wonder just what kind of mental abortion created said stupidity, the words out of my mouth are normally "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over!"

That's pretty much what I said when I saw the attack ad put out by the Obama campaign. "McCain can't use the computer to send an email!" And he can't comb his hair, either. The injuries he suffered while a prisoner of the fucking commie Norks prevent him from tying his shoes as well.

But what really turns my crank is this: This topic came up during the 2000 election. Of Obama or any of his sycophants had bothered to spend five minutes online doing a Google search, they would have known that the attack would turn around to bite them in the ass. In fact, the Obama camp has been putting out one mistake after another. Once McCain announced Palin as his VP, the Obama camp has been drifting around, contradicting themselves, making gaffes left and right, and shooting themselves in the foot on a daily basis. Obama, who prided himself on how he ran his campaign, now can't seem to control it for one stinking day.

If he gets this flustered over the Governor of Alaska, how the hell is he going to deal with the leader of some pisshole backwater country that may just end up nuking part of the USA?

He can't even control his campaign staff. How the hell does he expect to control his cabinet and staff if he gets elected?

If the past few weeks have shown us anything, it's how unfit Obama is to be in charge of anything other than tying his own shoes. He's a stuttering idiot when he doesn't have words fed to him off a teleprompter. He makes "mis-statements" or "mistakes" or "gaffes" even when he DOES have a teleprompter. And he crumples like tin-foil when faced with any kind of opposition.

He's not ready to even be in this election. I can't wait for the debates.

Following in their mentor's footsteps

If I recall correctly, there was another regime that airbrushed quite a few of their mistakes away too. I suppose that when a Leftist makes another one of their multitude of mistakes, they just follow the examples set by their idols.

Sweetness & Light posts Obama: Stupid McCain Can’t Send Emails

Corrupt Communist Clusterfucks

The modern Democrat American Communist Party keeps showing that they're not fit to be dog-catcher, much less hold any elected office. I saw these yesterday, but I didn't want to post them because I tried being non-political on September 11th. Well, it's now September 12th, and I'm still pissed off. Why? Because the Democrat American Communist Party still exists, and it's still doing it's best to destroy America.

They are the party of criminals.

The criticize the president for "not protecting America" when that's damn near all he's done for the past seven years. I guess San Fran Nan going to Syria and having her little sit-down with Boy Assad helped? What a fucking joke. The President has been opposed at every. Single. Fucking. Opportunity by the Democrat American Communist Party, and yet they want to blame him for "not doing enough"? Oh, and they released their little smear report on September 10th. If that's just not appropriate, I don't know what is. Because the entire Democrat American Communist Party is stuck on September 10th, where everything was fluffy bunnies and rainbows and nobody attacked us and everybody liked us. What a fucking joke.

Ace has a link to the Daily Kos petting zoo where they celebrate September 11th just a little differently than real Americans. But gosh, don't question their patriotism! Also a link showing just how badly the biased propaganda whores of the MSM are in the tank for the Donks.

The more I read, the more pissed off I get. The Left today is nothing more than howling, feces-flinging monkeys, unworthy of respect or any serious consideration. And I'm getting to the point right now where I've just flat out had enough. Enough of their lies. Enough of their smears. Enough of their childish actions, and enough of their bullshit. So I'm really, really, REALLY hoping that McCain/Palin win the ticket, and I'm really, really, REALLY hoping that the Left starts rioting.

Because I'm going to have a hickory axe handle, and a strong desire to use it.

How to win a war

Well, you start like this:

I respect the chain of command. I know that the Joint Chiefs and the Pentagon have some concerns. One is about the Army and Marine Corps and the impact of the war on them. And the second is about other contingencies and the lack of strategic response to those contingencies.

I want Dave to know that I want him to win. That’s the mission. He will have as much force as he needs for as long as he needs it.

When he feels he wants to make further reductions, he should only make those reductions based on the conditions in Iraq that he believes justify those reductions. These two concerns that we are discussing back here in Washington — about contingency operations and the needs of the Army and the Marine Corps — they are not your concerns. They are my concerns.

I do not want to change the strategy until the strategy has succeeded. I waited over three years for a successful strategy. And I’m not giving up on it prematurely. I am not reducing further unless you are convinced that we should reduce further.

I honestly believe that President Bush was saddled with political flunkies instead of Military Generals when we took office. The Clinton administration favored ass-kissers and paper-pushers over actual military thinking, and thus the people who were promoted to the higher positions were those that could kiss ass and push paper around instead of plan for wars. THAT is why we were losing in Iraq.

But a good CinC realizes when things are working, and looks to fix them. For all of President Bush's faults, he wanted to win. No withdraw, not set an "end date", he wanted to WIN this war. And so he took the steps he needed to take.

Fault him on his domestic policies, but don't fault him for his leadership of the military.

I had been out of the Army for two years then, my obligation done, my turn at the wall over with. And yet, here I am again in uniform, the past three years of it on active duty. If September 11th had not happened, I would not have re-enlisted. But I'll be damned if my country calls and I don't answer.

I'm keeping this post non-political today. But you can expect a hellstorm tomorrow night. Yes, I am pissed.

9/11

This pretty much sums it up for me: 102 Minutes that Changed America - History.com

Still Flailing

This is from "the Mircea Eliade Distinguished Service Professor of the History of Religions at the University of Chicago’s Divinity School":

Sarah Palin's views make me fear that the Republican party has finally lost its mind.

As for sex, the hypocrisy of her outing her pregnant daughter in front of millions of people, hard on the heels of her concealing her own pregnancy (her faith in abstinence applying, apparently, only to non-Palins), is nicely balanced by her hypocrisy in gushing with loving support of her teenage daughter after using a line-item veto to cut funding for a transitional home for teenage mothers in Alaska.

Her greatest hypocrisy is in her pretense that she is a woman. The Republican party's cynical calculation that because she has a womb and makes lots and lots of babies (and drives them to school! wow!) she speaks for the women of America, and will capture their hearts and their votes, has driven thousands of real women to take to their computers in outrage. She does not speak for women; she has no sympathy for the problems of other women, particularly working class women.

Can you imagine what it must be like to PAY to sit in a classroom or lecture hall and listen to self-important self-obsessed self-aggrandizing clucks like this?

I am beginning to hate Modern America

And no, it's not because of the fact that a do-nothing socialist can now be a candidate for President of the USA. In a way I consider that a good thing, because it proves that the most idiotic piece of shit can aspire to the highest office in the country.

No, we're trying to buy a new stove for the house that we're purchasing this month. We need a new stove, since there isn't one in the house. Fine. Dandy. Let's get a new stove. We're pretty simple in our needs:

Four burners. Not the inline, glass covered crapola, but just four plain coil burners.

An oven, preferably self cleaning.

And last but not least, it needs to last. Which means that the less electrical gadgetry on it, the better. But guess what? All the newer ovens today are push button ovens. Which means that you have a friggin' computer panel right in the middle of a huge metal appliance that experiences huge changes in temperature and humidity on a DAILY BASIS! Guess how long THAT damn thing will last in my house? Sure, if you're the type of person that cooks once a week, it'll last forever. But if you actually use the stove to, oh, I don't know, COOK YOUR MEALS EVERY DAY, it won't last longer than a couple of years before it turns into crap!

What the fuck was wrong with having knobs on your stove? And why can't I find a single damn new stove or oven WITH knobs instead of this push-button crap? What the hell is wrong with America? Are we so mentally deficient that we have to push a button instead of turning a knob to the correct temperature? What the hell?

Anyone else see the movie WALL-E? That's what I see America turning into. A bunch of fat fucking idiots who live by punching buttons in a chair. And dammit, I might just find an old cast-iron wood burning stove and put it in my kitchen, because this computerized, won't last five years crap is pissing me the hell off. Some things do not need a computer in them. A stove/oven is one of those things. Dear lord, if you put some of these modern pansy shitheads in a house from twenty years ago, they would starve to death. "What? No push button? No Microwave? Oh, whatever will I do?" Fucking choke to death on your microwavable cup of soup, you asscannon. I'll bet that most of Modern America wouldn't be able to start a fire without a gallon of gasoline and a Bic lighter.

Bah. I know that I'm going to end up the cranky old fart in the woods, waving a shotgun at anyone who dares come on his land. But you know what? The more I see of modern society, the more I think that it's not that cranky old coot who's crazy, it's everybody else.

Why the Big Three Auto Companies are dying

Here's a clue, you dipwads.... when you actually build a vehicle that your customers want to buy, it might be a nice idea to sell it to them.

Unless you’re a foreign military, government, or humanitarian organization, you’re not getting your hands on the Jeep J8, a vehicle we think a number of Jeepers would be all over in about two seconds if it were to be offered in neighborhood dealerships. Available as a two-door pickup (above) or a four-door (like the civilian Wrangler Unlimited), the J8 goes on sale this month and was officially revealed at Euro Camp Jeep ‘08 in Germany.

Power comes from a 150-horse turbodiesel with 295 lb-ft of torque, with that juice going to all four wheels via a five-speed auto and Jeep’s Command-Trac 4WD. The J8’s built to be a workhorse, with a Dana 60 rear, leaf springs in back, upgraded brakes, and a revamped intake that lets it ford 30 inches of water and handle a sandstorm lasting up to five hours. Its max payload is 2,750 pounds, and it has a towing capacity of over 7,700 pounds. Because the J8’s duties will vary depending upon who’s placing the order, a variety of cargo and seating configurations are offered, as is left- or right-hand-drive. All this, and no, you can’t order one. Yes, that sucks.

So you have a vehicle that would perform all the duties that a HUGE FUCKING AMOUNT of people in America need a vehicle to perform. Tear your eyes off of New York Fucking City, or Los Fucking Angeles, and take a look at the middle of the country. See all that space? People live there. People who own farms, or ranches, or just huge amounts of land that they need to work on. And they need a vehicle to work on those farms or ranches or acreage. This Jeep J8 would sell like hotcakes.

But we can't buy them. Nope, that's for them special people, not us commoners.

And they wonder why they're losing money hand over fist? Fuck them. If they're that damn stupid, they deserve to go out of business.

Hahaha!

The flailing continues apace...

South Carolina Democratic chairwoman Carol Fowler sharply attacked Sarah Palin today, saying John McCain had chosen a running mate "whose primary qualification seems to be that she hasn’t had an abortion."

I read somewhere today speculation that the Democrats' internal polls show them in deep, deep trouble, maybe even checkmated, so long as Palin remains the GOP VP candidate.

They sure are going out whole hog to get her. It's almost like a high tech lynching, but they cannot find a tree strong enough to hold her.

Poor dumb bastards.

The Bourne Doltimatum

Where in the world is Sarah Palin?

Heh, lefties are saying she's "sequestered".




I'll see Ace's first commenter and raise him a just a bit:

Holy shit.

I'll bet my paycheck

That this woman votes for the Democrat American Communist Party.

The Americans are doing it again, mystifying the masses here with their weird, weird presidential elections.

To the Chinese, who are spared by the one-party Communist system of such complications as electoral colleges and party caucuses, the spectacle unfolding in the United States is not a very tempting advertisement for democracy.

Feel the stupid, folks. "Spared" from the horror of a two party system by the wonderful Communist Party! Right, because the Chinese can vote for anyone they want, but there's only one name on the ticket!

Yet if the Chinese think the U.S. presidential campaign is chaotic and unseemly, there is good reason. Chinese coverage has not exactly highlighted the more flattering aspects of the American political process.

Well gee, why wouldn't the ChiComs want to paint a flattering picture of American Politics? Maybe because if the Chinese found out that the rest of the world isn't forced to abort their second child, they might get a little ticked off?

And that, folks, is why I canceled my newspaper subscription when I lived in Seattle. Found at RSN.

Pardon me whilst I LOL

Matthews, Olbermann shitcanned from MSNBC.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Gee, two of the biggest no-talent, biased asscannons ever to disgrace a TV screen have finally been fired.

Unfortunately, they've hired David Gregory to replace them, showing that MSNBC still hasn't learned a damn thing. Hey NBC - it's not just that Olbermann and Matthews were idiots, it's that they're biased pieces of shit who were nothing more than mouthpieces for the DNC on the air. That turned off plenty of viewers. And if you expect David Gregory to change that, well, you're dumber than a mud fence.

But then, if you were smart, you wouldn't have allowed Olbermann and Matthews to continue this long.

How does Barack Hussein Obama really see the military?

Let's ask him:

“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D)

So... they are slaughtering civilians like Ghengis Khan eh?

At a fancy '05 Manhattan fundraiser, Obama told the approving crowd that the Bush administration was using soldiers in Iraq as "cannon fodder."

So... they are stupid? eh?

“You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq. And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.” -- Barack Hussein Obama

So... voting against funding the troops is working eh?

..."oftentimes our women servicemembers are more prone to post-traumatic stress disorder partly because they — there's a sad, but real, problem of sexual harassment and sexual abuse for women veterans, and that makes them much more prone, then, to have post-traumatic stress disorder." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D)

So... when they aren't killing civilians they are molesting our service women who are stupid to join up as well? eh?

"If you talk to commanders on the ground there, they'll tell you, 'Instead of having another platoon, I'd rather have a couple of agricultural specialists." -- Barack Hussein Obama Jr.(D) who hasn't been "on the ground there" in Afghanistan

Because nothing inflicts casualties upon the Taliban like "agricultural specialists".

He almost joined the service

Oy Vey!

Just one problem with Obama’s little story.

Registration for selective service was not reinstated until 1980.

My cheeks hurt

After reading the Ratel Saga from Lawdog. Part three had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face.....

Found via BTB.

I'm making a proclamation

Anyone, and I mean ANYONE, who knowingly half-strips a 60 year old hardwood door, and then puts varnish over the whole damn thing, should be consigned to no less than the seventh circle of hell.

I have no idea what all is covering that poor door. All I know is that I can barely scrape it off. It just laughs at the varnish stripper I used. There's probably two decades worth of dirt, crap, and varnish on it.

The previous tenants of this house need to be persecuted for crimes against a historic home.
