Football today

Going over to a friend's house to watch a couple games. Yesterday I was supposed to go to the range, but ended up going over to another friend's house to help them move in. I was the guy carrying stuff up the stairs.

You know, one of these weekends, I'll be able to have it to myself.

I just don't think it'll be anytime soon. And you can be sure that I'll be calling in favors when it's time to remodel the bathroom and/or kitchen.

There's SNOW outside!

That might not seem like a big deal to some people, and other folks will probably be cursing about it, but it's been over four years since I've been able to touch actual snow with my hands.

It'll be gone in an hour or so. We just got a little trace amount that stuck, and once it warms up it'll melt. But I took the dog outside for her morning constitutional, and was able to throw a few snowballs.

I'm smiling.

Quid Pro Quo

These are two good synchronized stories:

Interest Groups Spend $98 Million on White House Race

Unions, political action committees and other special interests shelled out nearly $98 million in independent expenditures to influence the presidential election, according to a CQ MoneyLine analysis of campaign finance reports through Nov. 4.
.
.
.
The groups overwhelmingly favored Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, spending $48 million in his behalf since June, while Republican nominee John McCain was favored with $28 million over the same period.
.
.
.
Leading the was the Service Employees International Union. It spent more than $28 million, a lot of it going to fund multi-lingual, 30-second spots promoting Obama and railing against McCain's views on economic issues.

And then:

Names surface for top Obama administration jobs

President-elect Obama is weighing an array of Washington insiders and outsiders, including some Republicans, for top administration posts, according to Democratic officials.

Obama has signaled that he will make no Cabinet-level appointments immediately, and his deliberations are tightly held by his closest aides. But that hasn't stopped Democrats and interest groups from circulating lists and offering recommendations to the Obama transition team.

Audacious!!!

Another right wing wacko emerges

Yep, thanx to SlimyBill, another voice will occasionally contribute to this excellent collection of sanity in a world gone stone freaking mad.
Did anybody notice that even in the madly slanted exit polls, a lot more people describe themselves as conservatives than describe themselves as liberals?
Does anybody else think that we have a road map to victories, if only we draft leadership smart enough to read it and then follow it?
Think about this summer and the one bright light in the current Congress: the house GOP staying on the floor, even with the lights out and the cameras off, to push for an end to the offshore oil drilling ban?
We found out that 70 percent -- that's about 17 percent or so more than elected the O to the presidency -- were with us on that.
Where the hell was the campaign on that, other than Sarah?
Right now is the time to revive "drill here, drill now, pay less."
Newt, are you freaking listening?
Revive it. Beat the drum. Incessantly. Loudly. It's not over yet, but we can't freaking wait.
There are a lot of other issues where we right wing wackos have majority support -- if we can only get the leadership to get off their all-too-comfortable asses and start screaming.
It's going to take a certain discipline which we right wing wackos often lack.
But it's the only way to (1) drive the agenda in the right direction for this great country and (2) expose the fascists who now control the agenda for what they really are.
Let's get it started.

Pontifications

OK, so everyone has finally come out of their post-election hangover. We're looking around at this country and wondering just how the hell we came so far down. When you suffer a defeat, the first thing you need to do is figure out exactly why you lost.

And I'm looking square at the Republican Party.

This isn't a joke. This can't be brushed off. This country has just voted a Marxist into office, given him a Marxist Congress to back him up. Why?

Because the Republican Party did not offer ANYTHING different. Ann Coulter, love her or hate her, offered up one of the best summations of why we lost:

How could Republicans go after B. Hussein Obama (as he is now known) on planning to bankrupt the coal companies when McCain supports the exact same cap and trade policies and earnestly believes in global warming?

How could we go after Obama for his illegal alien aunt and for supporting driver's licenses for illegal aliens when McCain fanatically pushed amnesty along with his good friend Teddy Kennedy?

How could we go after Obama for Jeremiah Wright when McCain denounced any Republicans who did so?

How could we go after Obama for planning to hike taxes on the "rich," when McCain was the only Republican to vote against both of Bush's tax cuts on the grounds that they were tax cuts for the rich?

And why should Republican activists slave away working for McCain when he has personally, viciously attacked: John O'Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, National Right to Life director Doug Johnson, evangelical pastors Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, various conservative talk radio hosts, the Tennessee Republican Party and on and on and on?

The Republicans nominated a person who has spent the past eight years crapping all over the Republican base. Great idea there, GOP. Way to garner support.

This is a pattern that's continued even after the election. The Republican Elite is now stabbing Sarah Palin in the back, the only real conservative in the election, the only reason that John McCain did as well as he did. Without Palin, McCain might have gotten one or two states. Period. That's it. She was the ONE bright point in this election for the GOP, and now they're turning on her like a pack of hyenas.

If that doesn't tell you just how out of touch the GOP is with conservatives, I don't know what will.

And what message was the GOP sending with this election? What were they trying to tell voters? "Let's keep the status quo." That doesn't work. For the past eight years, Conservatives have watched the Republican Party transform itself from a small-government, anti-corruption group of politicians to a nanny-statist, government expanding, earmark pushing group of corrupt asshats and criminals.

Remember Dennis Hastert standing on Capitol Hill talking about how William "Dollars in my freezer" Jefferson's office was sacrosanct? Yep. Rather than exposing corruption and weeding it out, the GOP WAS PROTECTING IT!

The GOP leadership has failed, in just about every way they possibly COULD fail. And yet they keep pushing the same tired message. Actually, I mis-spoke; they're not pushing ANY real message. And they haven't pushed it for a long time.

It's been conservatives online defending Bush from the deranged attacks of the Left. It's been conservatives pushing the smaller government message, and getting ignored. It's been the GOP base demanding accountability, and getting brushed off by the GOP leaders.

The GOP leadership has failed. Utterly, completely, and horribly failed. John Henke, in the other article I linked to yesterday, put it this way:

The problem is not Republican politicians, although many Republicans politicians are a problem. The problem is not with the basic ideals of limited government and personal freedom, either. The problem is a movement that plays small-ball and cedes responsibility for infrastructure to business interests, leadership that rewards those who make friends rather than waves, an entrenched Party and Movement support system that mostly supports itself, an echo chamber that has rotted our intellect, a grassroots that is ill-equipped to shape the Republican Party, and a Republican Party that has replaced strategy with tactics, substance with marketing.

These problems can be fixed, but the fix is not cosmetic. The rot is deep. We do not need reformation of the Republican Party; we need transformation of the Republican Party. That is going to require fresh blood, new ideas, new infrastructure...and perhaps more than a little time in the wilderness.

Whenever a true conservative runs on a conservative platform, they win. When the GOP puts forth yet another squishy moderate, they lose. When faced with a choice of two big-government nanny-statist assholes, people are going to choose the one who's actually honest about what he'll do. The GOP hasn't been honest about it for a while now.

So, what to do? First, we need to clean house. All you Republicans out there? Start holding your party accountable. Get the leadership removed. You do not keep absolute failures in a leadership position. And if they don't listen to you?

You leave. If the GOP refuses to hold to the principals that made it successful in the first place, then they will continue to sink. If the GOP keeps offering up RINOs on the national level, they will continue to lose elections. If the GOP keeps refusing to fight the corruption, the graft, the earmarks, the voter fraud, then they will continue to hemorrhage members until they're nothing but a weak, former shell of themselves.

Second - start at the local level. Find out where your Republican Party meets, and GO! Do networking. Get to know people face to face. Take your arguments to them. The GOP has been ignoring the massive network that was already in place that they could have used. While the Democrat American Communist Party was working it's internet links for all it was worth, the GOP was wandering around going "Internet? Is that the new typewriter thingy?" There has been absolutely no effort to reach out to the grassroots support the GOP used to have. Now it's time for the Grassroots to take the party over and transform it from INSIDE.

You don't get rid of rot by tossing some shellac over it and calling it good. You cut it out. Carve it out, throw it away, and start rebuilding from the good base.

Third - find some fighters. This ties in with point number one - the GOP has been too much in love with it's political power to risk losing it by standing up and making waves. If the GOP won't do it at the national level, then work locally to find those fighters and promote them. Get them up locally, and then push them up higher. Use your local groups to demand accountability from the national level.

Fourth - tap in to the other conservative movements. Most of those movements are made up of former Republicans, whom the party has cast off in it's lurch leftward. How do I know? Because it's me, and others like me. As I said - I put my RNC membership card through the shredder, and mailed it back to the RNC in their donation begging envelope...... back in 2003, when I was still living in Seattle. The GOP had lost it's way back then, and they've only gotten worse since then. Get those conservatives working together. They might all belong to different parties, but they can work to make the GOP change. I'll be speaking to the local Republicans some time in the future.

As I said yesterday - Yes, the election sucked. Yes, our country is in trouble. Yes, it's going to get worse.

But the only true failure right now is in giving up. And I refuse to do that.

Shake off the funk

Everyone got a clear head now? Yes, the election sucked. Yes, our country is in trouble. Yes, things are going to get worse.

And we all know it. So now is not the time to wallow in despair. You don't solve a problem by sitting around and crying into your beer.

I was speaking with another NCO at work, who's heavily involved in the Republican Party here in our little section of Wisconsin. We spoke for a good long while, and he wants me to talk to the Republicans here when they hold their next meeting. Bottom line: The Republican Party needs to make massive changes to itself, otherwise they'll keep losing elections.

I told him that I wasn't a Republican. I'd shredded that particular membership card back in 2003 and mailed it to the RNC in one of their donation-begging envelopes. He still wants me to come talk to his group. So OK. I will.

I'm going to expound on this a bit more tomorrow, when I can gather my thoughts a bit more. In the meantime, read this and this.

Can we make it happen?

Anyone got an address for Gov. Palin to send correspondence (Thank You cards and letters) to?

Sarah Palin worked her heart out. She energized tens of thousands to come out who would have otherwise stayed home. She touched countless families. I didn’t agree with everything she said on the campaign trail. But two fundamental conservative stands she took mattered greatly to me: She vigorously defended the Second Amendment and the sanctity of life more eloquently in practice than any of the educated conservative aristocracy.

And she did it all with a tirelessness and infectious optimism that defied the shameless, bottomless attempts by elites in both parties to bring her and her family down.

Shame on the smearers who don’t have the balls to show their faces.

If it weren't for Sarah Palin, John McCain would have had his ass handed to him by the Chicago Communist. Seriously. I'm talking Walter Mondale asswhuppin, folks. I'm willing to bet that half of the votes he garnered were because of Palin, not himself. Palin was THE shot in the arm that conservatives needed. And now some dickless piece of shit wants to tear her down? Fuck him. Fuck him with a cedar fence post.

And all of this post election dumbfuckery from the McCain staff only shows that the Republican Stupid Party just doesn't get it. And it's not like people haven't been telling them how to win:

Wake up, and start acting like Republicans again. In case the Stupid Party has forgotten their roots (and it appears that they have), allow me to elucidate:

• low personal income taxes
• low corporate taxes
• a strong military
• less/little gun control
• strong law and order
• a non-accommodationist foreign policy
• strict immigration control
• less government intrusiveness and less government regulation
• constructionist judges

There are more, of course, but those are the basic principles. Find someone who supports all those—not just in speeches, but in their actions—and we’ll see whether you pricks are worth supporting in 2010 and 2012.

And forget about all that social bullshit like abortion and religion (like this moron, who frets about BHO’s abortion position even as the country is poised to become a European-style socialist nation). Leave those issues alone. Those are private issues, and every time that Republicans listen to their extremist wing and start messing around with legislation in those areas, they get their asses handed to them.

You are a political party, not a social one. Stick to politics, and government. And maybe we’ll support

I don't think they're listening. I don't think they'll ever listen. The most Conservative congresscritter and the most Liberal congresscritter have more in common with each other than they'll ever have in common with you and I. And the conservative elitist buttmonkeys who swim in political circles are just as bad. THAT is why you saw so many supposed conservatives jumping ship this election. BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT CONSERVATIVE AT ALL! They were just D.C. insiders who cared more about getting invited to the right dinner parties than about the future of this country.

So fuck them. They left. DO NOT LET THEM BACK IN!

If the Republicans Stupid Party doesn't want to listen, then it needs to die as a political party, preferably as quickly as possible so that it cannot continue to hang around and continue it's destruction of the country.

That's why I'm a member of the American Conservative Party. Check out the link in the sidebar. Look at it for yourself. I'm betting that most of you have more in common with the philosophy of my political party than with the Republicans Stupid Party.

Anyways, it's time for me to shower and get ready for work. I'll see how much I feel like blogging when I get home.

We're fucked.

We are so fucked. A communist in the White House, and a Socialist/Communist Congress.

So long, America. It was nice knowing you while you lasted.

Kim du Toit has a list of things that this formerly great country just voted FOR.

• High Taxes
• Gun Control
• State ownership of capital
• Constitutional reconstructionism through the courts
• Nanny government and oppressive regulation
• A weak, impotent military
• Inept foreign policy
• Trial lawyers and liberal judges
• Socialism
• Internationalist subservience to the United Nations
• Socialized medical care
• Stronger labor unions
• Racism (hiring- and college enrolment quotas)
• Class warfare
• Voter fraud
• Lax immigration controls
• Wealth redistributionism
• Hostility towards business, and capitalism in general
• Over-aggressive environmentalism
• Support for failed social programs
• Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, Pat Leahy, Maxine Waters, Jim McDermott, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, and Dick Durbin running Congress.

Yep, that's some change right there.

Pick Ragin' Daves' new boss

Let's see... ex-POW war hero or...

Racist Marxist cult-of-personality socialist voter fraud specialist who has never worked a day in his life and doesn't think his master race... should 'half' to?

Hmmm...

Toss up?

Yeah me to. I am just struggling. Maybe if I went down to Rev. Wright's church, or Farakhan's mosque, and survived, I could work up the enthusiasm to sneak by those NewBlackPantherParty club wielding thugs and cast a vote or three for the Mahdi.

Hmmmmmm.....

Reading down this article, I'm really starting wonder if I underestimated how bad the Drive-By Media has been in their desperate attempt to get their Liberal Lord and Messiah elected. All the emphasis in the below quotes are mine.

With polling, the collective delusion is the belief that the product of polling is the data. Remember, polls are a product that is sold like any other product. That stupid little chart that appears in the corner of every USA Today was not made for the purpose of ‘research’ and ‘data’. It was made just to show a stupid little graph on the paper because USA Today knows that little graphs and charts ’sell’ the paper more. Just because information is displayed in a chart or a graph does not make it ’scientific’ or a real ‘analysis’. But the product was to make the reader FEEL like it was and to sell more papers. The product of polls can and often are the readers. This became much more popular ever since polls became ‘news items’ themselves (before, polls were only supplements to news stories).

In my second post about the election, I told you to keep an eye on Iowa for if Obama comes back here, a state he should have locked at this time, he is toast. Well, Obama is back in Iowa which means he is toast. If it is competitive in Iowa (it was very competitive in 2004), that means that McCain is running as well as Bush or better and has FL, CO, IN, NC, OH, NH, and VA all comfortable. McCain going to Maine suggests Obama is performing worse than Kerry or, rather, Obama’s support is ’soft’ among Democrats.

When you look at everything that's been going on for the past eight years, this should have been the Democrat American Communist Party's election to win. They should, by all rights, be running away with this thing. It shouldn't even be close. You've got an unpopular president. A war that's gone on longer than World War Two. An economy in trouble. And a Republican Stupid Party that's more interested in being Democrats than they are about actually, y'know, REPRESENTING THEIR CONSTITUENTS. Conservatives are abandoning the GOP in droves. And the GOP picked McCain, who has a history of pissing off the conservative base, to be the presidential nominee. Folks, HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE WITHIN SNIFFING DISTANCE OF THE LEFT'S NOMINEE.

But what did the Democrat American Communist Party do?

They nominated someone with no real record, a more radical philosophy than anyone put forth in recent history, the most liberal congresscritter EVAH! A hard-core Marxist, nurtured by anti-American Marxists, mentored by virulent racists, funded by the Chicago Political machine.

Obama is so far Left, so "liberal", that he can't even pull away from McCain. If the Donks had nominated someone who was actually a bit moderate, they'd have this thing wrapped up. They would have had this thing wrapped up months ago.

But Obama is a Marxist. And people still get that queasy feeling in their stomach about dealing with a Marxist, even if the publik skool sistim in America doesn't teach them enough to know WHY they have that queasy feeling.

I say McCain wins. Because as low as this country can sink, they haven't sunk low enough to vote in their own destruction in the form of the Liberal Lord and Messiah, Barak Obama.

Now GET OUT AND VOTE!

Do you remember this?

Zogby poll 2004 prediction?


You know, the one that said....

Bush 213, Kerry 311

Yeah, that turned out real well didn't it? Snort. Every last poll with few exceptions has trumpeted a Democrat American Communist Party victor.

They've been correct a grand total of TWICE in the past eight elections.

Piss on 'em.

Time to vote

Due to the fact that we have to vote absentee, my wife and I have already voted. And it damn sure wasn't for the Commie from Chi-town.

Go vote today. Get your friends to go vote today. Anybody but Obama!

If the Eyores have gotten to you

Hopefully THIS will cheer you up!

The final round of Mason-Dixon polls has Obama enjoying small leads in the red states that would deliver him the presidency, but he's below 50 percent in each and there are enough white undecided voters to leave some too close to call.

Colorado: Obama 49, McCain 44, Undecided 4
Florida: Obama 47, McCain 45, Undecided 7
Nevada: Obama 47, McCain 43, Undecided 8
Pennsylvania: 47, McCain 43, Undecided 9
Virginia: Obama 47, McCain 44, Undecided 9
Ohio: McCain 47, Obama 45, Undecided 6
Missouri: McCain 47, Obama 46, Undecided 5
North Carolina: McCain 49, Obama 46, Undecided 5

As Brad Coker, who runs the Mason-Dixon poll, notes, the vast majority of the undecided voters in these states are whites.

I wonder how many of those voters watched Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, talk about how Whitey is to blame for everything.

One day left

Until the nation votes. And in the case of the Democrat American Communist Party, votes again. And again.

That's why we need people to vote McCain so badly. So that we can counteract the cheating and fraud of the Left.

I'm going to be soooooo happy once all the political ads are off the air. I turn the channel every time one of them comes on the radio. And if anyone you know starts talking about how great Obama is, ask them how they know. Because he still hasn't released any of his records. He's an enigma built on bullshit.

1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- not available, locked down by faculty
4. Harvard College records -- Not released, locked down by faculty
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Medical records -- Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule -- "not available"
8. Law practice client list -- Not released
9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate - - Not released
10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not
released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published -- None
12. University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None
13. Record of baptism-- Not released or "not available"
14. Illinois State Senate records--"not available".
15. US Senate record -- mediocre yet the most liberal.
Hat Tip Dan Freidman

IF, and I mean IF Obama gets elected, this country is headed straight to hell. Francis Porretto expounds on the economic state of this country, and how Europe is already far, far ahead in their economic collapse. But then, anyone actually paying attention for the past decade would know that.

Ronald Reagan once famously quipped "A Communist is someone who had read Marx. An Anti-Communist is someone who understands Marx." I guarantee that Barak Obama has read Marx, and wholeheartedly agrees with the ideals expounded on in that Manifesto. He's the scariest nominee I can remember. He's to the Left of McGovern, and that's saying something.

Get out and vote. Get your friends out and vote. Don't let this commie bastard win.

Daylight Saving's time

Remember, if you haven't already done so, set your clocks back an hour.

And don't ask me why I'm up an hour early.

*mumbledammitmumblestupidmumblefrikkinmumble*

Ouch

I hate to mix politics and religion, but since the Lord and Messiah Barak Obama has sunk so low, I'll use any weapon I have to in order to stop him from getting elected.

So right now, there's a radio ad being played at this website. A Catholic Bishop, Bishop Gracida, has made a simple, short statement regarding Barak Obama.

"This is Bishop Rene H. Gracida, reminding all Catholics that they must vote in this election with an informed conscience. A Catholic cannot be said to have voted in this election with a good conscience if they have voted for a pro-abortion candidate. Barack Hussein Obama is a pro-abortion candidate."

Part of the Catholic Church's dogma is that Abortion is murder. It's rather simple, actually - the church looks at Abortion as the killing of an innocent life. Now, you can disagree with that all you like, so long as YOU ARE NOT CATHOLIC.

The church doesn't hold a gun to your head and force you to be Catholic. In fact, the Sacrament of Confirmation is a ceremony where you as a Catholic stand up and say, "Yes, this is what I believe, this is what I want to be a part of". That's a simplified explanation of it to be sure, but you get the point. If you're going to be a Catholic, you've got to buy into what the Church is teaching. And that goes for any church, doesn't it? Why go there week after week if you don't believe in what is being taught?

Well, let me repeat myself: The Catholic church states that abortion is murder. As such, you cannot vote for someone who advocates murder and keep your conscience clean. Period.

Pass this message on to any Catholics you might know who are thinking about voting for Obama.

Taking a personal day

Got lots of things to do. I might actually be able to stay home and do them!

More proof...

Scratch a Democrat, find a Dictator.

A Federal Communications Commission investigation of on-air military analysts is providing a glimpse of what Democrats and an Obama administration will do to critics once they capture Washington.

The FCC has sent letters to some of the nation's most prominent military analysts -- some of them pro-President Bush and pro-war -- suggesting they may have broken the law when they appeared on television stations to comment on and explain the war on terrorism.

The FCC investigation raises the question of whether a Democrat-controlled Congress and White House next year will investigate -- and perhaps criminalize -- all sorts of actions taken by the Bush administration. Obama is leading in all presidential polls, while Democrats are set to greatly increase their hold on the House and Senate.

This is what happens when you let the Left take power. Any and all dissent will be crushed. The Left will do their best to stamp out and punish anyone who disagrees with them.

I swear, I'm keeping my ammo stocked up.

Uh... what he said:

1 More B4 11 04

Quote of the Day

Before Heinlein became obsessed with sex and polyamory (and hell, even after that) he was a philosopher disguised as a novelist. This quote that Instapundit pulled out bears repeating:

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

Yep. And every tax plan that the Left's Lord and Messiah Barak Obama has come up with does exactly that. But the Democrat American Communist Party will find some scapegoat to blame it on.

A New Voter Rights Organization

My buddy Hodge wrote this and sent it to me, and it was too damn funny NOT to post. So I asked him for permission, he gave it, and here it is for you to enjoy.

********

To Whom It May Concern,

It has recently come to my attention that certain organizations that represent the interests of the United States of America in the aspect of democratic elections has come under fire. Presently there are investigations ongoing in a plethora of states involving a very large organization for voter fraud. Let me just say that if these allegations prove true, this organization has irrevocably demeaned the basis of democracy in this country. Therefore it is incumbent upon myself to present an equitable alternative to the current high profile advocate for liberal voter rights.
It is for these reasons that I am founding the new champion of voter rights. My organization, Community Organizations of Reforming Narcissists Hellbent On Liberalizing Everyone or C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. for short, will ensure every United States Citizen or French, Indian, Russian, Canadian, and even Iranian citizen the right to vote in our elections.
C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. is dedicated to nothing less than every person, living or dead, real or fictional having a say in the elections of the United States of America. However, C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. realizes that this objective cannot be attained by behaving as its predecessor. Strict, well, semi-strict rules must be in place as to appear to make C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. look respectable.
A few examples of new rules C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. will implement to distance ourselves from previous voting rights organizations are below:

• C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. will not allow any person dead for a period of less than ten (10) years to register or vote. This practice is deplorable as the families of these deceased individuals could see the names on the registrant lists and become despondent.
• No individual will be allowed to register in more than thirty-six (36) states without written consent.
• C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. will not acknowledge the voting right of any fictional character created before 1900. Most of these characters are iconic symbols of the American culture and should not be used in such a frivolous manner. Also, by using the names and likenesses of these characters C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. employees would show an astonishing lack of creativity and/or cleverness which is something C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. deeply frowns upon.
• No Disney characters will be registered as it would be assumed that they would most likely vote Republican (Goofy being the obvious exception).
• No illegal narcotics will be given as incentives for degenerates to vote. Degenerates require a positive reward for voting, hence only legal narcotics such as nicotine and alcohol based products will be given as incentives. Crystal Meth is permitted in Washington D.C. and Chicago.
• The "glasses and banana nose" disguise will no longer be allowed for voters who vote more than a dozen times. The use of said disguise is obvious and an insult to Jimmy Carter’s monitoring team stationed at polling stations across the country. C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. doesn’t want to make it difficult for them to ignore you.
• Any and all Warner Brothers Looney Tunes characters will be automatically added to the registration lists of every county in every state due to the liberal leaning viewpoints of Bugs Bunny and Elmore Fudd when Bugs is dressed in drag. These characters also frequently teach valuable lessons about the dangers of firearms.
• Cash bribes will no longer be given to degenerates to vote. All donations belong to me. If a voter insists on a cash bribe simply fill in the registration form for him or her and submit it to thirty-six (36) states. We will have personnel on hand (wearing the "blonde wig and witch nose" disguise) to vote for them.
• Any and all Muppets detained at polling stations will be instructed to immediately claim racism and call MSNBC.
• The names Pablo Escobar, Johnny Smith, Abraham Lincoln, C. Thomas Howell and Keith Olberman may not be used more than a million times in any given state (this rule does not apply to Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, or Colorado).
• C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. reserves the right to refuse to register any person which it believes may attempt to vote for a Republican or even a centrist Democrat.

It is my firm belief that C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. will become the chief voting rights organization in the United States and that the above rules will allow us to maintain the high level of excellence in voting standards that this country has so prominently showcased.
For anyone wishing to privately support C.O.R.N.H.O.L.E. donations may be given at any of our offices in all fifty-seven states. Please make checks payable to the Premier of the People’s Republic of China.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Now THAT'S funny right there!

Shell Shocked

I don't know just how much I've told people about my career on the blog, but let's just say that I'm still adjusting to my PCS.

I went from being a Squad Leader to having no troops.

I went from being part of the unit leadership at my last duty station, to being the lowest ranking (and youngest) AGR in my new unit.

I went from having a 1LT as my commander to working in a two-star (that would be a Major General for all you civilians) command.

Let's just say that I'm quite a bit more busy now than I was a year ago. So if I don't get a blog post out right away, please forgive me.

Sweet Emotion

Pardon me, but I need to go throw my CD of "Toys in the Attic" into the stereo and crank it to 11.

A flaming crock of horse manure

Mr. Alger has a post up regarding the latest and greatest line of bullshit the Democrat American Communist Party has trotted out: The Second Bill of Rights.

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all--regardless of station, race, or creed.

Among these are:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

I am so. Sick. And. Tired. Of all these brain-dead fucktards babbling about crap they obviously have no clue about. I am sick and tired of anti-American Leftist whores making up "rights" like they just grow on trees. I am so very sick and tired of watching the Constitution of the United States of America mutilated and crapped on just so that some fucking Leftist bastard can enforce a failed ideology on MY country.

There isn't a single thing in that list that qualifies as a right. Period, end of story, fine. Dolly has a fine takedown on this bubbling pile of excrement.

The right t' life dun't require somebody t' pervide somethin' to ya. Ya exist. Yer alive. Nobody hasta do anything t' allow ya t' exercise that right. It's free-standing.

The so-called "rights" in that wackadoo Second Bill of Rights all mean somebody's gotta provide somethin' fer you. In order fer you t' exercise yer right t' a job, there hasta be a job provided. You c'n have a right ta work, and you can make your own job or work at a job on offer. But as soon as you make the job the thing you have a right to, yer 'nfringin' on th' rights of private property 'n' freedom of association of the person providing the job.

And, to Donald Duck to you the absurd one, if not enough jobs are on offer to provide all comers with one, then the gummint would haveta force someone to provide enough to make up the shortfall. Which basically means the provider becomes a slave to government.

Alla th' rights you got there 'r the same. They demand th' infringement of ind'vidjal rights, and c'n get pretty oppressive pretty damned quick.

In order for a thing to be a "right", it has to happen without any effort from any other person. A right cannot be given to you. IT CAN ONLY BE INFRINGED UPON.

Freedom of Religion - nobody has to lift a finger in order for you to worship as you wish
Freedom of Speech - nobody has to do anything in order for you to speak your mind
Freedom of the Press - nobody has to blink in order for you to set up a printing press if you want to.
Freedom to Petition - Go right ahead. Pull out a pad of paper, write a grievance, and get some signatures.
Freedom to Assemble - PARTY AT MY PLACE!
Right to Bear Arms - probably the clearest definition of how a right can only be infringed upon. All people can do is infringe on this right. There's no way it can be given to anyone, it can only be taken away, and has been in many states.

So on and so forth. The Bill of Rights was set on paper to ensure that the government wouldn't fuck it up. But our government has fucked it up regardless, mainly because for the past fifty years, with a couple of exceptions, the government has been made up of greedy fucking parasites that couldn't tie their own shoes without some poll telling them which foot to tie first.

But now some idiotic fuckstick comes up with their so-called bill of rights, but for this brainless dipshit to get his bill of rights someone else will have to pay for it!

Fuck. You. With. A. Chainsaw.

Bite me, you communist cockgoblins. Take your bill of rights and shove it up your ass, right next to your head. You should have practice performing that motion, since you've been wiping your ass with the actual Bill of Rights as much as you could get away with.

Random Thoughts

Gleaned while dealing with food issues today. The folks to produce most of the packaged food in this country put soy into EVERYTHING. If I didn't know a little about food production and economics I swear it was a conspiracy. You think I'm kidding? Try finding a food without soy lecithin in it. Lecithin is an emulsifier; that is, it is used to combine fat with water. Normally, the fat is in the form of vegetable oil. Soybean oil, sunflower oil, or safflower oil.

But they use soy lecithin like it's going out of style. It's in chocolate. It's in most the Halloween candy out there. It's in sauces and soups. It's in friggin TAPIOCA PUDDING MIX, which is how I got to thinking about this in the first place.

Eating that much soy can't be healthy. But seriously - try finding foods without a soy product in it.

Sounds good to me

The Liberal Media has had it's chance. They have failed, in almost every aspect.

Most importantly, they have failed to accurately report the news.


Without accurate news reporting, everything else goes downhill. If I can't trust the newspaper to tell me what happened yesterday, without interjecting their liberal bias, then I am not getting the news, I'm just getting a really expensive editorial page. Which is what 99% of the Drive-By Media has become.

So let's get rid of them.

This is still America. Someone will spring up to fill the demand, once the rotting carcass of the Has-Been Media is removed out of the way.

The Obama-bots

There's a forum I post on every now and then. I had posted about Obama's campaign finance fraud, and I got this email from someone who shall remain nameless. And I'm not correcting her spelling at all.

David, get a life, if you can not state facts, why spread lies, No Honor;you fit perfectly in the other camp

So naturally I wrote her back -

Prove me wrong, then.

Well, that didn't go over too well with this woman, and she came back with this:

It's not my job or place to prove you wrong, it's' your job research and learn the facts, if what you say is true, he would not be in the position he is in now. Or maybe you want to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell, but being a military dependents and spouse you will be in my prayers

Well, I couldn't let that sit, so I replied to her -

With all due respect, I've done my research on Senator Obama. YOU are the one emailing me and calling me a liar. I'm guessing that you did a little digging in order to write me back a snarky email, found out that you can't disprove a single thing I've said, and so you are left with "Do your own research" as a retort. Trust me, I've done my research. Both candidates make me gag. But Obama, with Democrats in charge of Congress, would be disastrous for this country. We can do damage control on McCain's presidency. An Obama presidency would sink this country faster than the Titanic.

His relationships with ACORN, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, his membership in the socialist New Party in the 90's, his leadership of the Joyce Foundation, even the fact that he's spent more time campaigning to be President than he has doing his actual job, all show that he's not right for this country. Let him continue to represent Chicago. But not my country.

And that brought forth the spittle-flecked rant that's common to Leftist kool-aid guzzlers.

First of all David, I never called you a liar, secondly people like you that have a one track mine would not know the truth if it came up and bit you, you still would not believe it; and third every thing you said after that are Repuk talking points, ACORN and it has been proving that someone from the McCain/Unstable hired a guy that was found guilty of voter registrationfraud, Ayers, come on giving me a break Obama was eight when that happen and the board/case that Obama sat on he was only second in command to the Justice Dept, but I guess the Christian that you are or if you are one, is not forgiving of anyone who has made mistakes in their life (must be lonely being the only perfect person on planet earth); and the Wright thing, please view the WHOLE tape not a thirty second clip from FAUX NEWS, he was actually quoting a guest that was on Faux News earlier that week. If you can do damage control to McBush presidency then you should have done it for his mentor Bush, and what about judgment, his pick of SP, have more repubs and conservatives jumping ship to support Obama than you have dems supportingMcBush. Going to McBush website and getting info is not the same as doing research, it's this thing called the WORLDWIDE WEB, try that instead; (good luck)

P.S. And if both candidates make you gag, how about going to another country, I hear Afghanistan is recruiting and he will continue to representChi-town and the other 49 states

At that point I knew I had a rabid moonbat on my hands, but I couldn't resist poking it once more.

First of all, let's look at your response. Repuk talking points? McCain/Unstable? McBush? FAUX News? I have a list of things that I reject Obama for, and you've got ad hominum attacks. Yeah, that's really going to convince me.

Second of all, let me quote from your very first email that you sent me: "David, get a life, if you can not state facts, why spread lies, No Honor;you fit perfectly in the other camp"

You accused me of spreading lies, i.e. you called me a liar. You can't even be honest about what you yourself said, and yet I'm supposed to believe you when it comes to your political candidate? Nope, sorry. That dog don't hunt.

Third - I've seen Wright's sermons. They're based off of Black Liberation Theology, which is distasteful at best and flat out anti-American at worst. And Obama sat in that church for twenty years, absorbing it. Wright married Obama and his wife. Wright baptized his children. He sat for twenty years listening to racism and hatred, yet people try to tell me that it doesn't mean anything. Wrong, it DOES mean something, and all the excuses people make only serve to show how unfit Obama is to be President.

Fourth - when William Ayers gave his interview, in which he stated that the Weathermen Underground DID NOT BOMB ENOUGH, Obama was 40 years old. Ayers is an unrepentant domestic terrorist, and has made his views clear on a number of occasions.

Fifth - I'm not a Republican, and I don't go to the McCain campaign website. Campaign websites are nothing but propaganda for the candidate in question. What I have done is research the background of the candidates, including how they voted on certain bills, how they've acted in the past, and what they've said in the past. I don't expect you to believe me. Quite honestly, I
don't even expect you to reply back, except for a few spittle-flecked insults in the same vein as your previous email. But I have done my research. McCain might disgust me, but Obama's radical Left background not only repulses me, but frightens me with the amount of damage he can and will
do to this country if he gets elected.

Feel free to hurl more insults my way when you want to.

And the last thing I heard from her was....

David, this has been real, but I got to go, have a nice life and may God be
you and your always

Rather nice parting, but it's amazing when you press a Leftist on the facts how quickly they retreat.

As if I needed more proof...

Obama is a Marxist, through and through. Here's some choice quotes thanks to Stop the ACLU.

If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement and its litigation strategy in the court. I think where it succeeded was to invest formal rights in previously dispossessed people, so that now I would have the right to vote. I would now be able to sit at the lunch counter and order as long as I could pay for it I’d be o.k. But, the Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted and one of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was, um, because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendancy to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that.

Yeehaw! All aboard the Communism Express, straight down to hell!

Yeah, today was busy too

Took a friend up to a town to pick up a few items. Normally this friend could go on his own, but he recently had his ankle replaced, so his wife won't let him out of the house unless there's someone else around.

No, he's not henpecked. This is the mans 5th surgery on that ankle. Near as we can tell, he pushed himself too soon after each surgery, didn't let the ankle heal, and it just kept getting worse. He's a stubborn cuss. So at this point, his wife is threatening to tie him to the couch in order to keep him from walking before he should.

Someone even gave him a get-well card that said "SIT! STAY!" on the front of it. I kid you not.

Anyways, I think I've spent more time in the house over the week after work hours than I did this weekend. Ah well. Sometimes that's just life. See ya all tomorrow.

I haven't been online much today

I've been up north helping a buddy put a roof on his cabin. Got quite a bit done. It's amazing just how much you value your life when you find yourself twenty feet up on scaffolding that isn't quite steady.

And it's amazing how much you can do even though that damn thing is wobbling underneath your feet.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

Here's some income redistribution!

Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed.

Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference -- just imagine the coincidence.

When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.

I went outside, gave the homeless guy $5 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the server was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn, without his consideration of whether I should have even have don’t(sic) that; though in my opinion the actual recipient needed the server’s money more.

I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

Oh hell yes, I'm stealing this and doing it if I get the chance!

Telegraphing their moves part Two

The silencing of dissent.

Telegraphing their moves.

The only thing that this communist shitweasel is good for is to let us know exactly what the Democrat American Communist Party is planning.

Even though Congress is in recess, Democrats have held several hearings this week to make the case for a $150 billion or more economic stimulus measure to follow the $700 billion bank rescue passed three weeks ago. A round of tax rebates and business tax breaks passed in February was credited with giving the economy a modest boost over the summer, but fears of a protracted recession after the credit crisis have Democrats promising more. …

If Republicans continue to resist, said Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., Democrats are likely to rejoin the issue in January, when they expect party standard bearer Barack Obama to take the oath of office as president.

“There’s no question the House will pass … a much bigger (stimulus plan) than we passed before,” Frank said of a postelection lame duck session. “If enough Republicans in the Senate decide to filibuster it … then we’ll just wait until January.”

God help us if Obama gets elected. This country will go straight down the shitter so fast it'll make the Titanic look like a minor accident.

Oh, and on top of talking about taxing the shit out of America and blowing more taxpayer dollars, ol Barney "I let my gay boyfriend run a prostitute ring out of my government paid apartment" Frank wants to cut the military by 25%.

Brilliant.

Dog Bites Man Again

And the Media does nothing, says nothing, SEES NOTHING.

The MSM Complicity in Obama's fraud is criminal. The Obama campaign is flat out breaking the law. And the Media refuses to report it.

Ego and gall

Hell, do you think he knows that his minions and followers are going to steal it for him?

Election Day is less than two weeks away, and Chicago could be home to the biggest political party in the country. Construction is underway for a massive stage in Grant Park where Barack Obama could declare victory on election night.

Obama has got to be one of the most self-absorbed politicians we've seen in a while. And that's saying something.

Found at the Baron's place.

STILL not surprised

Obama a member of a socialist political party?

Huh. There's a "Dog Bites Man" story if I've ever seen one.

Why not?

I'm in. Let's start vetting those that consider themselves the gatekeepers of the information world.

just food for thought

I am more likely than not to delete any political email that hits my inbox just because they are usually painfully inaccurate. A little birdie dropped this in my inbox, because it peaked my interrest I thought I would share it.

REVELATION CHAPTER 13

How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelations?

Revelation Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months, and you know what that is.
Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.

All I can say is 'Lord, Have mercy on us!'

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with
persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Chr ist-like appeal....the prophecy says
that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,
and when he is in power, will destroy everything..

Do we recognize this description??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as
you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet..do it!
I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.

Couple of mental notes

That came bubbling up while reading Kim du Toit's blog. First - the $50 hamburger.

So all these people who rabbit on about their wonderful, expensive meal must have had a lousy time, if all that was memorable was the cost of the meal.

The Ragin' Mrs. and I don't eat out very often. Why? Because for the most part, we can cook better meals than a restaurant can. Is that ego? Maybe. But so long as the recipe doesn't call for a deep-fat fryer (banned in our house for the sake of our waistlines) I'm willing to bet that the Mrs. and I can outcook damn near anyone.

And second, a few links about polls.

The Cliff Notes explanation is that if I’d ever designed a commercial qualitative research study with so obvious a set of prejudices and misconceptions, I’d have been fired.

Remember, Carter was ahead of Regan at this point. So was Mondale. I think we can remember how that turned out.

Why I said what I said

Folks, when I say that anything is better than that fucking communist Obama, I mean it. Am I all hot for McCain? No, the guy's a RINO at best. But he's still lightyears ahead of Obama, especially with a Democrat American Communist Party controlled Congress.

Remember that sub-prime mortgage crisis? It was brought about by the Community Reinvestment Act. Which was enacted by a Communist Congress and a dipshit Commie president, Jimmah "The Peanut" Carter.

Department of Energy - originally started to make America self-sufficient in energy production. It's a dollar sucking bureaucracy that does nothing but validate it's existence. An energy commission had been kicking around for decades, but it took, once again, a Communist Congress and a dipshit President. By the way, how much closer are we to energy independence in this country? Thirty years of this organization, and what do we have to show for it?

Department of Education - started by GUESS WHO, with a GUESS WHAT Congress. And what do we have to show for THAT? When my father went to high school, they were teaching calculus, Latin and Greek. Now they're teaching remedial math and remedial English in friggin' COLLEGE! I would submit to you that my father's high school education was of better quality and higher learning than most college education these days.

The bottom line is this - when the Democrat American Communist Party is in control of Congress and the White House, they saddle this country with expensive, non-productive boondoggles of the worst kind, and once those programs are in place there's no getting rid of them short of armed rebellion. The only way to stop it is to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Have the Republicans been much better than the commies? Nope. That's why I'm not a republican. I turned THAT particular card into confetti years ago, and mailed it back to the RNC letting them know that when they decided to return to their conservative roots, they'll get me back as a member. Hasn't happened yet, and I don't know if it'll happen at all. But electing Barak Obama would be the national equivalent of suck-starting a shotgun. We still have a chance at getting the RNC back to what it needs to be, or at least getting independent conservatives elected to office. Obama and the corrupt shitbags in Congress, working together, would damage this country beyond repair.

And at that point things start to get messy.

I may use a bit of hyperbole when talking about Leftists turning themselves into legitimate targets. But another Civil War wouldn't do too many people much good at all. And God help us all if I'm forced to put the sights of my gun on another American, no matter how much I loath their political ideology. If it comes to that, I'll do what I have to do, and then I'm going to hunt down the bastards that forced it to come to that point.

So there you have it. Why I said what I said in the post below, and I stand by it. ANYTHING is better than a fucking communist in the White House.

I gotta say something....

Reading over this piece at Ace of Spades HQ, this quote caught my eye:

You would also have to believe that only 27% of those who show up to vote on election day will be Republicans. And let's face it - the media has been allowing bias to affect their coverage. Why wouldn't that bias extend to the polls they commission?

Emphasis mine. Because you know what? I actually agree that only 27% of the people who show up will be Republicans. That's because the Republican Party has ceased to be a conservative political party, and conservatives have been jumping ship.

But those conservatives are STILL going to be heading to the polls to vote against the Leftist Lord and Messiah. They won't be Republican Stupid Party members, but they'll be pulling the lever for (R)McCain/Palin. Because ANYTHING is better than a fucking communist in the White House.

Ain't nuthing sure...

But death and taxes, right? I'm going to have to add on to that. Ain't nuthing sure but death, and that the Democrat American Communist Party will raise your taxes.



I would love to punch that douchbag right in the face for the damage he's caused to this country. I really would. C'mon, admit it, every now and then beating a commie like a rented mule is a GOOD thing.

Here's a thought

And I'm just going to toss it out there...


The reason that the Drive-by Media is savaging Joe the Plumber like they are is because he got their Lord and Messiah's mask to slip. Joe made their Savior actually speak his mind, and that hurt him so Joe must be punished.

Let's face it - in the grand scheme of things, Joe the Plumber is just one guy, and since he hasn't given any indication that he's a Democrat American Communist Party Member, he's only got one vote. (Per ACORN guidelines, all American Communist Party Members are to be given as many votes as they want, as long as it's under different names.)

So Joe is immaterial. He could have been Joe, or Bob, or John, or even Dave. What's important is that Obama let the truth slip - He's a fucking communist son-of-a-bitch, and he's going to tax the hell out of this country so that he can "spread the wealth around". And seeing as he's already given tax dollars, i.e. YOUR money, to what he thinks is important is there any question as to who and what would get more money if he's president?

Why I don't trust polls

Yep. Just where do these polls come from most the time? The Liberal Media, who is pulling so hard for Obama that the press that actually prints their newspaper is tilting Left.

Polls had Carter in the lead in 1980.
Polls had Mondale in the lead in 1984.
Polls had Dukakis in the lead in 1988.
Polls had Clinton in the lead in 1992 and 1996.
Polls had Gore in the lead in 2000.
Polls had Kerry leading in 2004.

Notice a pattern there? And how many of those names actually went on to become president?

Yeah. That's why I don't watch polls that much.

Happy Birthday to me

You have got to see this

If there's any question about Obama's radical past, his ties to a domestic terrorist, or how much he lies about both, this video will answer them.



Found via Ace of Spades HQ, where I also found this wonderful interview.

Someone asked why Munoz had come to the rally. “I support McCain, but I’ve come to face you guys because I’m disgusted with you guys,” he said. “Why the hell are you going after Joe the Plumber? Joe the Plumber has an idea. He has a future. He wants to be something else. Why is that wrong? Everything is possible in America. I made it. Joe the Plumber could make it even better than me. . . . I was born in Colombia, but I was made in the U.S.A.”

The scene turned into a mini-fracas when David Corn, of Mother Jones, defended press coverage. Munoz was having none of it. Why, he asked, would the press whack Joe the Plumber when it didn’t want to report on Obama’s relationship with William Ayers, the former Weather Underground bomber? “How come that’s not in the news all the time?” Munoz said. “How come Joe the Plumber is every second? I’m talking about NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, and CNN.”

I am truly hoping that this election will bring about the demise of the MSM as we know it. Tear that crap down and start over. Want to hear what a registered Democrat thinks about the press?

If you do not tell the truth about the Democrats -- including Barack Obama -- and do so with the same energy you would use if the miscreants were Republicans -- then you are not journalists by any standard.

You're just the public relations machine of the Democratic Party, and it's time you were all fired and real journalists brought in, so that we can actually have a daily newspaper in our city.

That's one pissed off man. Link found at The Smallest Minority.

Please, every one of you....

Email this to John McCain's campaign, while there's still time. I'm going to reproduce it here, because it's too good to let lie. If Mr. du Toit asks me to take it down I will.

But it needs to be copied and emailed to every single (R) out there.

My friends,

I have thought long and hard about the tax issue, because it’s one which affects a vast number of Americans—not all Americans, of course, because under current IRS rules about one fifth of American citizens pay no taxes at all. So I’ve decided to change my tax policy, and will work tirelessly as President to make this a reality.

My opponent keeps talking about tax “breaks”, and tax “exemptions” and so on, and to be frank, he makes the whole issue even more complicated than it already is.

So I’m going to make things simple.

Under my Presidency, the United States will become the most fairly-taxed nation on Earth. Americans will pay federal taxes at three rates: adjusted gross incomes at or under $35,000 will pay 5%, incomes of $35,000 - $75,000 will pay 10%, and incomes greater than $75,000 will pay 15% tax.

That’s it. No exemptions, no withholdings, no “credits” and no deductions except for the per-dependent allowance of $5,000.

Corporations will pay a flat 10% tax rate on net profits, but with no deductions allowed, whatsoever. There have been times when a multibillion-dollar corporation ends up paying no taxes at all because of the hundreds of deductions and tax loopholes. My friends, those days are over.

You will be able to fill out your tax returns on a postcard. So, in fact, will most corporations, and certainly, small businesses, the lifeblood of our economy, will be able to operate more freely and with no fear of tax audits.

Yes, some people are going to suffer a little bit in the short term. Let me tell you who they are.

People earning less than $35,000 per annum who have never paid taxes before will now have to pay taxes. I know that some will scream that this is unfair, but let me offer two rebuttals. It’s a common budget truism that you can always take 5% off anything, without suffering too much. This is just as true for individuals as it is for corporations. Secondly, and most importantly, it is horribly unfair to the vast majority of Americans that people who pay no taxes still get to vote on tax issues—in other words, people who pay no taxes can vote to raise the taxes of others. That inequity, my friends, will end under my presidency.

Homeowners who have taken the various real-estate deductions to lower their final tax rate may suffer a little. A homeowner who has a monthly net salary of $1,200 after making his mortgage payment of $750 may end up with a net salary of $1,100 under the simplified tax code. On the other hand, he won’t have to pay a tax preparer, nor waste time preparing his own tax return. But most of all, he need never worry that the IRS will come after him some time in the future for underpayment of taxes or tax evasion.

Which to my mind is the greatest advantage of the simpler tax code that I propose.

Americans believe that when it comes to money matters, the simplest and most efficient way is usually the best. And the success of our nation has proved this, over and over again, in the more than two hundred years of our history. We Americans like simplicity, because it frees us up to be more productive—which means, in the end, that we make more money.

And to live as people who are not afraid of the dreaded IRS “knock at the door”: who can honestly say that this would not be a good thing?

But let me go back to other people who may be adversely affected by the new tax system.

Lobbyists who are always after a tax loophole for their corporate clients will have less work.

Tax lawyers and accountants will have less work.

The IRS will have less work—indeed, under my plan, I intend to reduce the size of the IRS department by 50%.

And finally, Congress will have less work, because they will not be writing ever-more laws which make our already-dense tax code still more indecipherable to the average American.

Most of all, we will return to a simpler time: when all people contributed to the general welfare, and no one could be said to be a “free-loader” or a “leech on society”.

The vast majority of people, from all income groups, will get to keep more of their money, to invest, to save, or to spend as they see fit.

Because, my friends, that is the essence of America: the belief that the citizens, and not the government, know best how to manage their own money. I believe that, and, I think, so do most hard-working Americans. The people who do not believe that are people like my opponent, who thinks that “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help” is not satire, but something worth imposing on us.

My plan is the essence of fairness: we all pay, according to our ability.

Finally, let me close by saying this. Some people will say that government will not be able to function by taking from you, on average, only one out of every seven dollars you earn. To those people, I say: “Then let government learn how to make do with less, just as millions of Americans have to do each and every day.”

If our bloated, inefficient and expensive government has to learn how to cut fat, become more efficient and spend less, then so be it.

At the end of the day, we will all be better off, and our economy will grow itself out of our current difficulties, without any assistance from government and, under the current bad system, your tax dollars.

Thank you, and good night.

Just.... damn. If any Republican candidate for President wanted to get elected, THAT would be the speech they need to make.

Barack Hussein Obama hates America

Remember... No, he wouldn't say the Pledge, Yes, he dramatically quit wearing a flag pin:

"You know, the truth is that right after 9/11, I had a (flag) pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security, I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest..." -- Barack Obama

So look how he "fixed" O-force-One, by removing the American Flag:

Yes he had Cuban flags in his Houston campaign office:

Yes he worked for 20 years with an unapologetic terror bomber:

Yes the (D)emocrats trashed the flags at Barack Hussein Obama's coronation:

It is a pattern:

Ace documents the most recent outrage:

Obama Cancels National Anthem at Event to Free Up Time for Yet Another Speaker Singing His Praises

No Pledge, No Pin, No Flag, trashed Flags, canceled National Anthem... etc... etc...

Not only has it been repeatedly demonstrated that Barack Hussein Obama is ashamed of his country, but he is running for "Commander-in-Chief" of our military forces in spite of a complete lack of military experience and has repeatedly smeared our troops:

“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

To sum up... Contrast Michelle Obama, who freely admits she isn't proud of her country, with Sarah Palin:

"(America is) just downright mean." -- Michelle Obama(D-Ayers)

"For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." -- Michelle Obama(D-Jeremiah Wright) on Barack Hussein Obama runnning

Versus

"We believe, too, in the promise of this country, in the opportunities that we wish for ourselves and for each other, for our sons and for our daughters. We believe America is not the problem. We don’t have to apologize for being Americans!" -- Sarah Palin(R)

A vote for Barack Hussein Obama is a vote for the 3000 racist haters he has associated with for the last 20 years and who he will bring with him to Washington.

Good Lord...

The media finally did some digging!

On Joe the Plumber. Bill Ayers? Who? Can't recollect anything about him. Love the way Obama mocks Joe in his campaign speech too. I guess Joe must be one of those "bitter clingers" that Obama hates.

Too bad Joe the Plumber has received more scrutiny in 24 hours than Bill Ayers has in the past 24 months.

Yep, and that's the way it's going to work for a good long while. Until the fifth column media gets taken over by people who actually care about reporting, or goes out of business. How dare a plumber question their Lord and Messiah! KILL HIM!

Joe the Plumber is us. Bill Ayers is them. And we’re going to have to fight, quite possibly literally, to keep them from destroying us. All “us” really wants is for “them” to leave us the fuck alone — which they cannot and will not do. Because they are convinced, beyond all reason, beyond all argument, that they know better. Messing with us, dominating us, ruling us, silencing us, stifling us, strangling us, with all the power they can give to relentless, expansionist government, is what they live for. It’s what they are. It’s what they do. They can’t have us walking around loose, with our guns, our religion, our patriotism, our freedom, our belief in the superiority of our way of life. It negates everything they believe in. And it, and we, cannot be allowed to succeed or fail on its/our own merits. Nothing can. Ever.

Jeez, I just summed up seven years of blogging in one paragraph, at two in the morning.

I repeat - if Obama wins, I will give him the respect that all the Leftist sycophants gave President Bush for the last eight years. That is: zero.

More: and I'm about to puke.

Now, we have people crawling over his tax records, his voter registration, his professional licensing, and whatever else they can find in the public record. Someone has linked him to the long-deceased Charles Keating, suggesting that somehow Obama managed to pick a McCain plant out of a ropeline full of people by accident. How much longer before a certain blogger at The Atlantic demands a paternity test to see if Joe the Plumber fathered Sarah Palin’s baby — or Bristol’s, for that matter?

There is a stench of desperation surrounding this, as if they sense defeat coming from a moment of honesty from Obama about his real intentions to institute a regime of redistribution. They want to discredit the man who only asked the question as if he’s some political operative who magically forced Obama to sound … well, a little like a Marxist. Why? They want to distract people from Obama’s answer by sliming the man Obama picked at random to ask a question.

I swear to you, if Obama wins I guarantee you will see this kind of behavior being acted out against all of Obama's enemies. And since Obama is a hard core Marxist, anyone who wants to think for themself and live without government interference is Obama's enemy. This also shows YET AGAIN just how hyper-partisan and biased the MSM has become. They don't have a shred of credibility left. They're going after a friggin' PLUMBER, but they won't go after Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright (I refuse to call any racist "Reverend"), Obama's connections to Tony Rezko, and on and on and on... THEY MUST PROTECT THEIR LORD AND MESSIAH!

Economics

she haz dem.

In days of old, the company you worked for put money in a retirement plan. It was a benefit, not something you paid for directly. It meant that when you retired you would start receiving benefits, similar to Social Security. The difference, of course, was that the retirement program was actually funded, not filled with IOUs. If a company ran their retirement plan in the same way the government runs Social Security, they’d have been arrested for fraud.

Few companies still do that and the idea that your retirement money is something you can touch is a relatively new idea. Companies today have 401K programs where you are “allowed” (by tax code) to put a percentage of your earnings into an account pre-tax, that you generally can’t touch while still employed. You would have to quit to have access to the money. The money is not taxed. Some companies have matching plans, and you get a higher percentage of matching funds, the longer you’re with the company. If you do leave that job and withdraw money from your retirement account, you are taxed on it, but you also pay a 10% penalty for using your own money.

I think all of this is a huge scam and scandal. The reason I believe that is because what most of us earn in interest on our 401Ks doesn’t exceed what we pay in mortgage interest. We might be earning 5% in interest income, but we’re paying more than that interest amount on our mortgages, so it is net loss. The tax code nonsense gives us the illusion that we’re ahead, but in real dollars, we’re not.

The amount of money we pay in mortgage interest is astounding.

I'm one of the lucky ones. My father understands economics, in a way that Mrs. du Toit does, but not too many of our fellow Americans do. And he beat into my head, as I was buying this house, "PAY IT OFF EARLY! ALWAYS SEND IN AN EXTRA CHECK! THE MONEY YOU SAVE IN INTEREST IS UNGODLY!" So I made sure that there was no penalty for early payment in the contract, and I'll be sending damn near everything I can in a second check every month.

Hopefully, by the time I leave we'll have a big chunk of principal paid off. Enough so that when we sell it, we have a decent down-payment on another house. That's the only crappy part about buying this house. I do like the area. I love the house. But the military is the military, and I'm going to be moving in roughly six years. So I have to keep that in mind.

Still - The more I pay in principal over the years, the more I get to keep when I sell the house later. Anyways, go read.

The Last Debate

Malkin thinks McCain won.

So does the Real King of France.

Gateway Pundit has a different tack.

What say you?

My opinion? It was almost a tie. But Obama's constant smirk has got to grate on a few people.

Doing the job the MSM won't do

Since the MSM is too busy washing Obama down with their tongues, so-called amateurs are picking up the slack. I say "so called", because they're obviously more competent than the MSM, seeing has how they're doing the job the MSM refuses to do.

Here’s the stench: An entire houseful of young, non-Ohioan Democrat activists have used the Brownlee Avenue address to register themselves to vote in the Buckeye State and secure absentee ballots under extremely shady circumstances — all while mobilizing a large effort to register thousands of others for absentee and early voting. The activists are leaders of a group called “Vote From Home ‘08.” The group is self-identified as having “extensive experience with political organizing, election administration, and Democratic politics.” They were hailed as the “Justice League” by a Daily Kos blogger. Their Facebook page brags: “Want to turn the Presidential election blue in a key swing state? Vote from Home is a political organization that was founded by a team of young people for the purpose of assisting, aiding, and tracking voters to elect progressive candidates to the White House. Encouraged by the excitement of the 2008 elections and the movement around the Democratic candidates, Vote From Home will be in Ohio seeking to deliver 10,000 votes to Democratic candidates statewide.”

How close was the election in Ohio in 2004? I guess the Democrat American Communist Party is going to make sure it never gets that close again. By stuffing the ballot box. Is there any facet of America that the Left won't destroy in their quest for power? I guess not. To the Left, power is the only thing that counts, and anything else just gets tossed aside like trash. Morals, ideals, the US Constitution, thrown out.

I'm coming to the opinion that if you get caught committing vote fraud, you should be put into a stockade, where you'll be pelted with rocks and sticks, right before you're put in front of a firing squad.
