On the Honduran "coup"

And yes, I put scare quotes around the word "coup", because despite the AP's breathless pronouncement of such, and despite our government's ill placed and ill advised pronouncements, it's not a coup. Just to recount a few points -

The former Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, was limited by the Honduran constitution to a single four-year term. Zelaya happens to be a Leftist, and like all Leftists he didn't give a shit about his country's constitution when it got in the way of his personal power grab. So he decided to hold a referendum in direct violation of his country's constitution, in order to remain the president after his four year term.

The Supreme Court of Honduras said the referendum was illegal, and would not allow the Honduran government to print up any ballots or do anything to hold Zelaya's referendum. So Zelaya gets a bunch of ballots from his pal Hugo Chavez. The Supreme Court of Honduras forbade the Honduran military from conducting any polls or distributing any ballots. The top general in Honduras tells Zelaya that he won't obey any illegal orders, so Zelaya fires him. The Honduran courts tell Zelaya to re-instate the general, and Zelaya tells them to fuck off. Zelaya finally leads a mob to break into a military base and get the ballots that his pal Hugo Chavez sent. At that point, the military arrests him and ships him off to Costa Rica.

Here's a good run-down of it.

While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.

But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.

The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.

Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.

The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica.

And this is supposed to be a coup? Hmmmmm.... since when does ENFORCING THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY AND SAID COUNTRY'S CONSTITUION EQUAL A COUP????

And of course team Obama jumps right in defending Zalaya, because really, there hasn't been a communist dictator that the Democrat American Communist Party wouldn't coddle up to. Hey Obama? When you're siding with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, you're on the wrong fucking side, you damned shithead. Yeah, people were getting SHOT IN THE FUCKING HEAD while they protested in Iran, and Team Obama yawned out some half-assed platitude about how the world was watching, but let one ball-gargling communist get put in his place after they try to violate their country's constitution, and Obama is all over that!

I hope that Honduras continues to tell brainless asshats like Obama and Chavez to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. There's one less Leftist in power in Latin America, and that's a good thing, no matter what Obama the fucking idiot says.

New Tactics in Afghanistan

If you've got the time, reading this might be beneficial. I haven't written about GEN McChrystal's new rules of engagement in Afghanistan, mainly because while I heard the howling of the masses regarding his new rules, I also knew that McChrystal wasn't some politically correct doofus.

So if you're into the military mode of thinking, go give it a read.

I was wondering what you think about this ridiculous health care talk out there.

This is just one more reminder that the private sector and competitive market forces, not the federal government, are the best means to meeting our country's rapidly expanding health care needs.

I was looking for a way to try and do something positive about it, and just signed a petition with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce here to help emphasize that. We need to get involved!

Janet,

I have only two words for you: England, France!!!

Seriously, If you look at the health care in those two countries you can see exactly what is going to happen to ours. As it stands, we already have two government run health care plans in this country - Medicare, and Medicaid. Medicare is run at the Federal level, and Medicaid is run at the state level. Medicare is run so poorly that many doctors and medical practitioners have been refusing to accept any patients with that program, because the doctor or clinic do not get reimbursed enough.

When the government run health care plans are already a failure, what makes anyone think that a NEW government run health care plan will be a success? We don't have to guess at what the government will do, we can see what they do right now!

I hear about all of these people that don't have health care and then I meet them. I will admit there are some people that genuinely fall through the cracks, they don't have enough money to afford medical, especially if they have chronic issues, and earn too much to qualify for Medicaid. They are the exceptions! The vast majority of people I know without medical insurance are that way because it is not a priority for them, they would rather have that third car or that vacation than pay for the insurance or save an emergency slush fund.

Concerning our children and the raising of

Congressional Co-sponsored 101/House Joint Resolution 42 from parentalrights

‘‘ARTICLE —

18 ‘‘SECTION 3. No treaty may be adopted nor shall any

ify, interpret, or apply to the rights guaranteed by this
21 article.’

’.


This would be a good thing.

On the other hand the UN is trying to strong arm us into this:

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, often referred to as CRC or UNCRC, is an international convention setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children. Nations that ratify this international convention are bound to it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.^[4]

Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child).^[5] It came into force on 2 September 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. As of December 2008, 193 countries have ratified it,^[1] including every member of the United Nations except the United States and Somalia.^[4][6]

Which would NOT be a good thing!

Busy Weekend

Change of Command at the unit. So that means lots of standing outside in formation. Yay. Got a tractor-pull going on in the next town over. The Ragin' Mrs. and I are part of the courtesy cars driving team, which means that we drive the actual pullers around where ever they want to go. Then a 2nd Amendment meeting in Tomah on Sunday afternoon.

Don't expect much from us this weekend. We're already booked.

Atlanta July 4th Tea Party shut down

By Democrat American Communist Party supporters who learned the Left's plan of action rather well - when you can't debate because you don't have anything but a failed ideology on your side, just prevent the other side from speaking!

Lenin and Stalin would be so proud.

Farrah Fawcet dead

Also, Michael Jackson.

I guarantee you the news cycles will be covering nothing but those two for the next week. Cap and trade bill? Huh? LOOKOVERTHEREITSAJACKSONTRIBUTE! Legislation that'll raise your electric bill by $300 or more a month? LOOKOVERTHEREAFAWCETRIBUTE!

This is why I don't watch TV.

Does Obama negotiate with terrorists?

Yes, yes he does!

About two weeks ago, the Obama administration released Laith Qazali after extensive negotiations with the Asaib al-Haq terror network. That network has long been in negotiations with the fledgling Iraqi government, dangling the possibility of laying down its arms, renouncing violence, and integrating into Iraqi society, provided that its top members — particularly Qais and Laith Qazali, as well as Ali Mussa Daqduq — be released. Realizing, however, that these terrorists were responsible for kidnapping and killing American soldiers in gross violation of the laws of war, the Bush administration had declined to release them.

You want to know why I never, ever vote for the Democrat American Communist Party member? Because when ever there is a Donk in the Oval Office, the troops are going to get screwed somehow. If the terrorist tumblefucks realize that Mr. Hope'n'Change will release their terrorist buddies in exchange for a few hostages, GUESS WHAT? THEY'LL KIDNAP MORE PEOPLE! This is worse than amature hour in the White House. This is Jimmy Carter v 2, with worse results.

By contrast, President Obama was persuaded to free Laith Qazali outright, just as Obama previously had authorized the outright release to Britain of the al-Qaeda terrorist Binyam Mohammed, who had plotted with “dirty bomber” José Padilla to commit post-9/11 mass-murder attacks in American cities. And although the administration has attempted to pass off Laith Qazali’s release as a necessary compromise of American national interests for the purportedly greater good of Iraqi reconciliation, the camouflage is thin indeed. Transparently, the terrorist has been freed as a quid pro quo for the release of British hostages.

(.....)

In the wake of Laith Qazali’s release, the Asaib al-Haq network was unsatisfied; it continued to demand the release of its leader, Qais Qazali, and that of Daqduq. The terrorists did, however, release two of their British hostages, or, to be precise, their corpses: Jason Creswell of Glasgow and Jason Swindlehurst of Lancashire had been dead for weeks, perhaps longer, when their remains were turned over to the British embassy in Iraq. As the U.K.’s Independent recounted, the bodies had been “taken from an Iraqi government building in the centre of the Iraqi capital by men in police uniform, past army checkpoints and a second security screen into Sadr City, the base of Shia militias, all signs, say the men’s families, of official collusion.”

Pardon me, I'm feeling sick right now. We're not even getting back live people, we're just getting back their remains. And while I'm very, very sorry for the families of Jason Creswell and Jason Swindlehurst, this is like trading in a mint-condition '76 Mustang Fastback for a burned out Ford Pinto.

So here we are, with a deluded fucking moronic piece of shit for a President, who actually is as bad as the Right said he would be. Hey, remember when Sarah Palin gave that speech in Minneapolis, and said that Obama wanted to read terrorists their Miranda Rights? The Left guffawed and said it would never happen?

Ooops.

Yeah, how'd that turn out for you? Don't ever doubt Sarah Palin again, eh? Did that piss off all the Palin haters? Fucking good. So far she's been proven correct on just about everything she's said, while Obama has turned into a far-left idiotic piece of crap who really is the terrorist lovin', high-tax pushin', big government leadin' Socialist that the Right said he was. I think the only reason they're not pushing for a full-on gun ban right now is because the ATF is still shitting purple twinkies over the number of military-style rifles and carbines that went flying off the shelves, and are still selling like hotcakes.

Where was I? Oh, yes. Obama loves to deep-throat terrorist cock as they call him their bitch.

Back in May 2008, in a speech before the Israeli Knesset, President Bush derided the “foolish delusion” of unidentified, naïve politicians who “seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” Exhibiting a thin-skinned consciousness of guilt, Sen. Barack Obama assumed Bush had been referring to him, and lashed out: “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists.”

President Obama is now way beyond mere support of such engagement. Under his leadership, and even as the mullahs who have been at war with the United States for 30 years are engaged in a Tiananmen-style crackdown, Obama is neck-deep in terrorist-for-hostages negotiations with Iran-backed killers who have American blood on their hands.

Make sure you lick those terrorist balls clean, Mr. President! You don't want those terrorists to get upset with you! Mr. Fucking Jimmy Carter Clone. When more Americans die, we can lay those deaths directly on you. Not that Obama fucking cares, especially if they're military.

Gah. What a thing to read early in the morning.

frickinfrackinfutzingnutzin

I just spent half an hour futzing with the template. Almost had it to where I want it. And voila, one click of the mouse and it's all undone!

Bah. I need to shower and get out of the house. I have to report early this morning. Can't stick around to fix it. You'll just have to deal with the old blog template for a while.

One thing about Wisconsin

Is that you get the extremes when it comes to weather. You might not have extreme temperatures for very long, but they're noticeable when they hit. We just had a heatwave roll on through that put the heat index up around 96-97 degrees.

And we don't have air conditioning in the house.

So I came home from work last night and installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nice breeze. Lovely breeze. You make me so happy. You make the Ragin' Mrs. so happy too. We love you, wonderful cooling breeze.

If I thought it was feasible, I'd move our entire bedroom down to the basement for the summer.

Read it all

You want to know why the Left does what it does? Read this. All of it.

Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress - with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?

Why?

One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.

I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent - the failure is deliberate. Don't laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.

It puts things in a different light once you realize that the chaos, the failures, the ineptitude and the sheer arrogance of every last parasite in D.C. is there by design, rather than just accidental. The reason our economy is on the brink of failure is because Congress wants it to be there. The reason we're trillions in debt is because Congress wants us to be trillions of dollars in debt. The reason our government is taking more and more control over American's lives, turning citizens into subjects, is because CONGRESS WANTS SUBJECTS AND NOT CITIZENS.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced that nothing short of a civil war will return this country back to it's Constitutional roots. And that scares the hell out of me.

That I might try to change the look of the place up a bit. Maybe.

Now keep in mind that I'm computer illiterate. I'm being quite honest here - I can type, but that's about it. Don't ask me how this magical little box works, because I don't know. And in order to change the template, I'll be going into something that I have little to no knowledge about, and then messing it up.

So if the website completely disappears, don't worry. That's just me, doing what I do. It'll get back up.

Father's Day

I suppose I could write about five witty paragraphs describing my father. In fact, it would take five books to describe him, everything he's done in his life and everyone he's effected.

But I don't want to go into that. Maybe later, not now. So all I'm going to say is this - If I could be half the man my father is, I would consider my life well lived.

Just so you know.








OK, yeah, I can be boring sometimes.

Jaw on the Floor here, boss

You want to talk about Two Americas? Here's one side of it.

Luis Illades, an owner of the Urban Rustic Market and Cafe on North 12th Street, said he had seen a steady number of applicants, in their late 20s, who had never held paid jobs: They were interns at a modeling agency, for example, or worked at a college radio station. In some cases, applicants have stormed out of the market after hearing the job requirements.

“They say, ‘You want me to work eight hours?’ ” Mr. Illades said. “There is a bubble bursting.”

Famed for its concentration of heavily subsidized 20-something residents — also nicknamed trust-funders or trustafarians — Williamsburg is showing signs of trouble. Parents whose money helped fuel one of the city’s most radical gentrifications in recent years have stopped buying their children new luxury condos, subsidizing rents and providing cash to spend at Bedford Avenue’s boutiques and coffee houses.

I think stories like this support my theory of why Liberals exist. They are people who never have to deal with the consequences of their own actions. When you're protected from yourself, well then, anything is possible!

And if you've never had to actually earn a dollar a day in your life, then you don't know/understand/grok the value of a dollar.

Anyways, go read. And I agree with Ms. Catalano:

You know what? The parents deserve these kids. They deserve to have the spoiled results of their parenting ideals living with them. Because no one else deserves them. These parents have raised a generation of children who will never know the value of money, who will have no work ethic, and whose sense of entitlement will earn them the scorn of every hard-working peer they run into. While these kids spend their week nights — and their parents’ money — drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon at some obscure club watching a band you’ll never hear of and feeling smug about it, adults their age work and study because there are no handouts or jobs waiting for them in the family business.

Time for the school of hard knocks to kick in.

Ain't happy

The Ragin' Mrs. was supposed to be home last night, but her flight was delayed. And delayed some more. And then delayed again, and canceled.

So she'll be getting home this afternoon instead.

Gah. Well, as much as it ticks me off, there are worse things in life. And this gives me a little more time to clean up.

Sigh....

Dirty, lying, worthless, corrupt crooks.

President Obama’s choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last November.

The nominee, Capricia Penavic Marshall, has placed blame for the problem on the Postal Service and on miscommunication between her husband and their accountant.

How many Obama appointees is this now who haven't filed their taxes? Anyone got a running count? Seven? Ten? Fifteen?

These worthless fucking parasites don't even bother to deal with the IRS. They just ignore them. No wonder they all want higher taxes, they all know that THEY WON'T BE PAYING THEM! And if they get caught, it's "WHOOPSIE! NAUGHTY POST OFFICE!"

That fucking lie right there should disqualify this idiot.

Gonna post it

Then I'm gonna print it out and mail it to my congresscritters at the state and federal level.

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Oh hell yeah. I'll be sending that to all my congresscritters. Found via... well, just about everybody, but Kevin Baker also links to Glenn Beck's interview of the letter's author.

May I, may I make a prediction. Your letter, in the next 72 hours, will be a letter that is circulated through a good portion of this country on the Internet. I have a feeling your letter may become a rallying cry.

And let me do my part for that.

Adding on to my Palin post from yesterday

Is Graumagus' post regarding the Republican Stupid Party.

Never will I again assume that the Republican party isn’t “flexible” enough to twist itself 180 degrees at the hips, thread itself through the legs, and fuck itself vigorously up the ass. Years and years of these “moderate” idiots working for “bipartisan” solutions after being pelted with shit by the howling primates on the left every time they could shart out a handful.

(.....)

Obama may be flooring the accelerator towards socialism in this country, but you rancid cocksuckers filled the tank and tossed him the goddamn keys.

FUCK. YOU.

I have absolutely no hope that the Stupid Party learned it's lesson; that being you do not shit all over the people who's votes you need. Given what I've seen from the Stupid Party leadership, they'll continue to lose election after election, while this country hurtles to it's death. Or until someone takes the Stupid Party elite out back and puts them out of our misery.

Scam attempt

So, there I was, minding my own business in my kitchen when my cell phone went off. Unlisted number. No big deal, all the numbers from work come in as unlisted. I answer it, and get a computerized voice:

"This call is to notify you that your VISA card account has been suspended. For information or to speak to a representative, press 1"

Uh huh. Bull-fucking-shit. But just to confirm it, I press "1" and I hear:

"Please enter your 16 digit VISA card number"

*click*

The sad part is that I could see some poor confused granny falling for this. And that makes me want to hunt these cheese-dicked fuckheads down and beat them to death with their own limbs. The limbs that I tear off of their bodies. The more I deal with humanity, the more I wonder if there's any hope for humanity. More and more, the answer I come up with is "Nope".

Why are Democrats so stupid?

As if California wasn't in deep enough debt, here's a new round of taxes that the Democrat American Communist Party wants to impose!

Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass, a Los Angeles Democrat, said higher taxes and fees are needed instead of all $16 billion in cuts proposed by Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. His reductions would eliminate entire welfare programs and leave 1 million children without health insurance. Democrats yesterday suggested a $15 automobile license fee and said they may consider a 9.9 percent per-barrel charge on oil produced in the state.

I truly hope that good folks like Drumwaster get the hell out before the state collapses. But to be plainly honest, I just want to see California go under, as the collective result of the state's stupidity drags it further and further along the path of destruction.

Let me just say it now

Without any hints, subtlety, or innuendo: I'm a Sarah Palin fan. Why? Because out of all the nationally known Republicans, she's one of the few who doesn't run and hide and try to play nice with a group of anti-American assholes.

Letterman, Olbermann, Matthews, Couric, Lauer, Powerline, Noonan, Parker, Brooks, Frum, and the Beltway GOP once again unleashed their nastiness and savagery upon her, and what did she do? She fired back, and she fired back without mercy upon her enemies. She reduced Matt Lauer to a stumbling mass of jumbling live on National TV. She has caused the pundit class and MSNBC to twist themselves into a pretzel over her response. And David Letterman and his enablers have made themselves look foolish in the process of trying to spin this away.

All because she won't back down. All because she refuses to abandon the battlefield and "Play Nice". They have no idea how to deal with that. She is once again in their OODA Loop. And it is fucking awesome.

The GOP, as a whole, is nothing more than people who are too weak to argue against the Left. Palin has no such problem, and the GOP can't stand her for it. Is she perfect? Hell no, but she's ten times better than anyone else the GOP has managed to put forward. And you want to know how I know this? Because the GOP elite, the GOP elite who spent money like drunken sailors when they were in charge of the government, the GOP who were nothing but RINOs for years, expanding government on an exponential scale, the GOP who lost the 2006 elections HORRIBLY, the GOP who lost the 2008 elections HORRIBLY, started attacking Palin the moment the elections were over.

When the people responsible for the complete and total destruction of the Republican Party started attacking Palin, I knew she was someone who needed to be supported and advanced. So, to all those Republicans who do NOT support Palin - if you have good reasons to do so, I'd like to hear them. But at this point, I have to agree with eddiebear:

All in all, fuck anybody sideways who doesn't defend Gov. Palin now. She has rejoined the battle, and is standing there, damn near by herself, and she has them running from her, reduced to name-calling and refusals to debate her. And anybody who is unwilling to stand with her should be ashamed.

Yer damn skippy.

If you are a praying person

Say a prayer for the people of Iran, who are fighting for their future. Literally fighting. People are dying, because Iranians are refusing to roll over for the tinpot theocrat.

We need the Iranian people to win.

Friendly fire

So Kevin Baker and Billy Beck got into an argument. Things got heated. I can understand that. But we've seen this song and dance before, and it seems that Beck is unable to deal with people in a halfway civil manner. I said so in the comments:

And I'll say it again - Mr. Beck, you might be the most brilliant man on the face of the planet, but it means nothing. Because you piss off people to the point where they ignore you rather than listen to you. You can say that you want people to think straight, but your actions say otherwise.

If you're unwilling to have patience when dealing with people who want to understand you, then quite honestly you're not worth dealing with at all. Because I refuse to deal with folks who make me wear my IBA with the SAPI plate in the rear.

Look, there's a huge difference between dropping a bomb on your enemies and deliberately dropping a bomb on your allies. Beck has repeatedly shown that he's more than willing to target people who want to agree with him over minor differences in opinion. Half the time it's not even that the various individuals disagree with Beck, it's that they don't understand his train of thought, and so he does the Internet equivalent of nuking them.

Now as I've said, Beck might be the most intelligent man on the face of the Earth, but it doesn't amount to a hill of beans because he's never, EVER going to get his message out there. And this all started because of Beck's attack on Bill Whittle:

If that guy is what passes for an intellect in these times, we are more fucked than I have previously imagined, although it doesn't surprise me.

Followed by more on Beck's website:

If you're going to take seriously someone who dresses up in a goddamned Star Trek outfit and tells you that reason and logic are impotent, in order to explain the intellectual rot in America today, then you deserve where you're going.

--

As for Whittle, he's a wanker and a creep. Sooner or later, he will expose himself to the dumbest among you, and I am content with all I have to say about him until then.

Well ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN!

Now, the merits of their respective arguments notwithstanding, Whittle has still managed to do something that Beck hasn't done - package his message in such a way that he builds support for his side rather than attack it. And by the way Mr. Beck, if you stop on by and read this, Whittle's video was one of the best tongue-in-cheek lampooning of Star Trek geekery that I have ever seen. Because Whittle knows that when you're discussing Star Trek, as Maureen Dowd did when she compared the Liberal Lord and Messiah to Mr. Spock, you cannot take yourself seriously.

So Beck doesn't like Whittle. Fine. Beck doesn't like the way Whittle gets his message across. Fine. Maybe, just maybe, instead of attacking a man that is read and enjoyed by thousands more people than Beck could ever hope hit his blog, he should try to find a way to get Whittle on his side.

But Billy Beck just doesn't do that. Because Billy Beck is always right. And so Beck goes into attack mode.

By the way, Becks response to my comment:

Fine, then. Go deal with this socialist government.

My response back:

Unfortunately I have to do so. It would be nice if I could concentrate on dealing with this socialist government without people like you shooting my side in the back.

I'm not asking you to compromise on your beliefs, I'm asking you to check fire on friendlies until you can determine if you have the same objective. Apparently you're unable to do so, which makes you a liability.

Dealing with friendly fire is bad enough. Beck takes it to a new level, where he doesn't just attack his allies by accident, he'll target you deliberately if you don't automatically fall in line with his way of thinking. And you know what? Beck's line of thought might be the correct one. But that doesn't matter when people are under attack, all they know is that they're under attack. And so Beck's message will go unheeded.

Enjoy being "right", Mr. Beck. You'll be enjoying it with a very small group of people. It took at least ten percent of the population to rise up against King George in order to have a successful rebellion. Three percent just ain't gonna cut it.

Well, of course

Allegations of corruption arise against a Democrat American Communist Party member. What did you expect? It is who they are. It is what they do.

As U.S. stock markets plummeted last September, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, sold more than $115,000 worth of stocks and mutual-fund shares and used much of the money to invest in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Illinois senator's 2008 financial disclosure statement shows he sold mutual-fund shares worth $42,696 on Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged congressional leaders in a closed meeting to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks. The same day, he bought $43,562 worth of Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock, the disclosure shows.

Dog bites man. I would be amazed that more stories like this aren't coming out, but then I remembered that in order for the media to do it's job they would first have to pull their lips off of Obama's cock for about five seconds, and that just ain't gonna happen.

US Army Anthem (The Caissons Go Rolling Along)
Words and Music by Major Edmund L. Gruber - 1907

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Was it high, was it low,
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right,
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Happy Birthday

To the United States Army. Two hundred and thirty-four years.

Putting it bluntly

...is why I like Og so much, even though I've never met the guy.

The issue of marriage, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is about this and this alone: Militant gays want to damage the church because the church will never accept their lifestyle. If you don’t get this, you probably never will.

Through history, if you see a group of people whining to be allowed to join an institution, like a country club, or an all-male military academy, or a basically religeous institution like marriage, their aim is not to be inclusive, but to destroy that institution. Plain and simple. The moment there is nationwide “Gay Marriage” there will be a call to force the churches to allow gay marriage, or be put out of business. This is that road. Want to go down it? I sure as hell don’t.

The phrase "Gentleman's Club" actually use to refer to a place where Gentlemen went to socialize. Now it's used to refer to strip clubs. Want to guess why?

Because a few women demanded entry. And now there are very few Gentleman's Clubs.

Which is just what the Gay, Lesbian, Transexual, Trianything, BDS&M, getmyfreakon community wants to happen to the various churches in America.

The Wife is Packing

God and the Army have a sense of humor. You want to know how I know this? Because I finally have a few weeks at home, and the Army sends my wife away on a mission.

Yes, you read that correctly. She's heading off to an AFAP conference for a week.

Ah, the military life. I swear, once I retire and I'm home full time, the Mrs. and I won't know what to do with each other.

Free Association FU

Every now and then someone else writes something that reminds me what a piker I am when it comes to a good rant:

Well played UAW, well played. You shit on your own plate, and rejoiced when you were served seconds. You couldn’t have fucked yourselves any better if you had handcuffed yourselves to a radiator bent over, spread, and pre-lubed in a San Fran sex offender halfway house.

Fuck you!

(.....)

Speaking of beer and (cough) “music”, I stopped after work at the pub for some fish and chips last Friday with Contagion. Beer. Fish. Friend. Malt Vinegar! Good! Band…. band BAD. Oh… oh god Band REALLY BAD! Band make Grau want to jam fists into transparent battle maces (AKA Bass pint glasses) and bludgeon the guy singing some kind of fucking dirge to accordion music and some kind of pseudo-steel guitar into paste! AIIGHHHH make it STOP make it STOP!!! Grau SMASH!

Seriously, it was like “What if we took classic rock tunes and sung them off key to someone who actually manages to play accordion like they spent their formative years huffing paint while listening to the Cure”

It’s an Oompah-GothTard tribute band.

One of the bartenders there is pregnant. I implored her to either allow me to mercy kill the band, or vacate the area before she ended up birthing a Democrat Sea Monkey Yeti ThingThatShouldNotBe. Alas, the damage may have already been done.

That part had me laughing so hard I almost fell off the couch! To the blogroll with you!

Remember, Only Whites Can Be Racist

The White House was quick to respond to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday by a deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks. In the words of Pres. Obama:

“This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against
anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.”

One must pause to wonder if the White House will be coming out with any statements condemning THIS deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks:

Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter,
that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years
when he’s out of office.

Waiting…..waiting…..hmmm.

The new name for the MSM

is going to be "The Obama Propaganda Corps". One William McGurn makes the claim that "You would think that any self-respecting White House press corps would show some of the same skepticism toward President Obama's jobs claims that they did toward President Bush's tax cuts." But showing skepticism is not the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps job, Mr. McGurn. Their job is to protect their Lord and Messiah, to promote his agenda, and to attack his critics. They don't report the news any more. They haven't done any actual, simple reporting in decades.

I look forward to the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps breathless announcement of a new Five Year Plan any day now.

Brain dead

The more I see of Liberalism, the more I'm convinced that it's a mental disorder.

In November 2008 a Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, was abducted by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. She was held captive, raped repeatedly, and released after six days for a ransom of 100,000 euros ($137,000). After her ordeal, she acknowledged that her captors “did horrible things to me,” but added in several media interviews “They also respected me,” and emphasized “They are not monsters.”

So, you go to meet these guys to do a sympathetic interview, as in an interview designed to make these guys look as good as possible, and they take you hostage and repeatedly rape you.

And yet they're not monsters? You actually think they RESPECT YOU?!?!?!?!

How about this for an idea - this woman is so brain damaged that she can no longer understand such simple concepts as "Good" and "Evil". She cannot discern the difference between "Right" and "Wrong". Whether it's massive amounts of drug use in her teen-age years, or the indoctrination common among leftist conclaves, this woman is exactly why Leftists cannot be trusted with any power. They do not have the ability to use logic, rational thinking, or plain common sense.

This woman is a good example of why evil men can do so much in this world.

Guess who's back?

OG!

That's why I don't quit blogging, despite how badly I'm sucking at it these days. Because if I ever did quit, two weeks later I'd be posting again, probably in a raging, profanity-laced rant.

Just a reminder

When dealing with the IVAW, you're dealing with the scum of the earth. This Ain't Hell has one of the best run-downs I've ever seen on the IVAW assclowns, and I just thought it was so damn good that I needed to post a link to it.

Now I'm off to work.

Batten down the hatches

I know, it seems to be Dave is Depressed Day here at 4RWWS, but let me pile on a little bit.

Rivrdog:

Yep, boys and girls, the economy is getting worse. We may not have Leno around anymore to tell his daily "the economy is bad, really bad" jokes, but the recession only gets deeper, even as the Dow Jones has added 2,000 points of "irrational exuberance" since it hit "bottom" earlier in the year.

Looking for bargains in the real estate market? Have CASH to buy them? Be my guest, you probably won't lose more than 10-15% before the market REALLY bottoms out. Looking to make a killing in the stock market? Grab a mirror, my fine chump. That busted fool whose image you see is YOU.

Come out of this recession depression in Q3 or Q4 of THIS year?

Sure, we will, and this bridge-buyer's contract is just BEGGING for your signature, Mr. & Mrs. Gullible.

And just in case you weren't depressed enough! (via The Smallest Minority)

Might I suggest stocking up on non-perishable foodstuffs and survival gear? Ladies and Gentlemen, we're about to find out what happens when the Left is in control. It's going to make the Great Depression look like a small hiccup.

Quote of the Day

From David at Random Nuclear Strikes:

It’s been sad for me to realize as I’ve aged that the ideal of human universality taught in my youth was a myth. Culture matters.

He and I must have had the same teachers in school. But I had the ideal of human universality beaten out of my head at an early age.

Worthless

I used to have a bumper sticker that read "Democrats/Republicans = Same Shit, Different Piles"

Yep. That about sums it up.

If you assume that spending limits are the equivalent of cuts, which they aren't, we are talking about a $63 billion a year out of a $3,500 billion budget. I guess it's a start, but it won't get us anywhere if they don't come up with a better plan.

Are you friggin' KIDDING ME? If there was ever a sign that the Republican Stupid Party was out of touch and unable to separate itself from the Democrat American Communist Party., this is it. With a chance to oppose the Marxist take-over of our country, the GOP offers up....

Socialism.

Good bye 2010. The GOP hasn't learned a damn thing. It's full of Beltway insiders who continue to spit and shit all over the very people it needs to vote for them. The Communists have won, the GOP has sided with them, and this country is going straight to hell. I'm loading up on ammo.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit.

And since I'm posting about the death of America, let's talk about Minnesota, which is about to be represented by a demented fucking retard who got elected through the votes of dead people.

Over 2,800 individuals who voted in the 2008 general election were flagged as being “deceased” prior to the election. Minnesota Majority then selected a sample of a dozen records for additional investigation. A representative drove to addresses listed on voter registration records. Interviews conducted with residents or neighbors confirmed that at least 5 individuals from the sample were deceased, the latest having died in March 2007.

And the punchline:

Deputy Secretary of State Jim Gelbmann said that the records of the 5 dead voters were erroneously updated with a vote history by election workers and were not examples of fraud.

I don't know what world you live in, but in MY world, DEAD PEOPLE VOTING IS FRAUD! Now maybe he's trying to say that the zombie voters being left on the voting roles isn't fraud. But they still voted. This, my friends, is cause enough to bring out the barrels of tar and bags of feathers. But I'm willing to bet ten dollars, right here right now, to any takers, that Franken the Demented Fucking Retard will "win" the election, get sent to D.C., and the spineless, worthless, ridiculous joke that is the Republican Stupid Party will just roll over and take it right up the tailpipe.

I did mention that I'm stockpiling ammo, didn't I? Good.

Woke up in time to go running

But we've got a thunderstorm going through right now. Ten bucks says it'll be gone by the time I head for work. Gah. No run for me this morning.

And I'm sorry about the lack of posting yesterday, but I put lighting up in my office, put the last coat of plaster on the guest room closet, and painted my filing cabinets. I had a bit to do. I've been gone so darn much lately that I have to finish all the to-do list when I have the chance. Like yesterday.

By the way, the Sand Creek Brewing Company rocks, and I strongly recommend their beers. Just so you know.

How can you tell when a liberal is lying?

Because their lips are moving. And trust me on this, their lies are for one purpose only - to garner more power for the ever growing nannystate.

Elizabeth Warren has another study out showing that medical expenses contribute to more than half of all bankruptcies–indeed, this time, it’s 70%, up from the 50% she found in 2001.

Now, it is possible that this is true. The fact that it seems to disagree with every other study I’ve ever read that is not authored by Elizabeth Warren, and also, the self-reports of the people in her study (only about a third of whom attribute their bankruptcy to a health problem) could just be a fluke. It doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s wrong.

Yet upon closer examination, it turns out that it is not just wrong, but actively, aggressively wrong. Warren and her co-authors have obscured important and obvious facts that call the integrity of the work into serious question.

This is the Left's next big project, one that they've been working on for years. Just as with the car dealerships, where GOP donors were being closed, and their dealerships given to Communist supporters, once the Left controls the country's health care they can decide who gets treatment and who does not.

And doesn't that just sound like fun? You have got to read the whole thing. And when someone blurts out that medical bills is the biggest reason for bankruptcy, shut them down.

It would be funny

If it weren't so bad for the country.

Rasmussen Reports: 36% Strongly Approve, 36% Strongly DISapprove of Obama.

Want more graphic goodness? Kevin Baker has a graph of unemployment numbers that just has to be seen. I mean, it's almost like those Washington D.C. parasites knew NOTHING about economic realities! Gosh, who woulda thunk it?

And the links to other graphs in the comments of that post are scary as hell. Get ready for the next Great Depression, folks. Money, Guns, and Lawyers? Your money will be worth half of it's value, and it's the farking lawyers who make up Congress who got us into this in the first place.

Keep the guns. Everything else is worthless.

Making a correction

So last week I posted about Obama's snub to the Queen of England.

Didn't happen. Yep, you heard me, it wasn't Obama's fault.

As much as I'm disgusted by the corrupt Chicago Communist, I can only blame the Teleprompter Jesus for things he's actually done. Unfortunately for all of us, that still leaves entire galaxies of actions the Liberal Lord and Messiah has taken, along with his whores of the press and legions of mindless, slavish minions to expound upon and reveal.

So, there you go. correction made.

Well, that was..... disgusting.

Yeah, I'm back. Yes, I haven't been blogging in a week. Look, I've been gone, so sorry, and besides, I'll refund your money if you're not satisfied, capiche?

But i get back, and what do I see? This. And this.

Newsweek editor Evan Thomas brought adulation over President Obama’s Cairo speech to a whole new level on Friday, declaring on MSNBC: "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God." ......

Thomas elaborated on Obama as God, patronizingly explaining: "He's going to bring all different sides together...Obama is trying to sort of tamper everything down. He doesn't even use the word terror. He uses extremism. He's all about let us reason together...He's the teacher. He is going to say, ‘now, children, stop fighting and quarreling with each other.’ And he has a kind of a moral authority that he – he can – he can do that." In response, Matthews wondered: "If there's a world election between him and Osama Bin Laden, he's running a good campaign." Thomas agreed: "Yes, he is."

Oh lord, help us all. This kind of worshipping is what makes me call Obama the Liberal Lord and Messiah. Don't tell me the Left doesn't worship this guy - I HAVE PROOF THAT THEY DO! And as Ace says:

I am not overstating things when I say that Obama could ask for blow-jay from pretty much any man in the media and get, at the very least, a shy apology and a raincheck.

If Obama asked for a blowjob from the MSM, they would be on their knees giving his balls a tongue-bath just as fast as they could get his fly undone.

I'm really just ready to vomit. If we had an objective media in this country, I'd bet my whole paycheck that Obama wouldn't get elected. The Drive-By Media is his propaganda corps. Rope, Tree, Journalist - Some Assembly Required.

Obama hates the military

Last week, on Memorial Day, the Commander-in-Chief ducked out early to play Golf.

The media didn't cover that slight... even though they themselves were slighted by being locked out from that event.

On the Road again

I'm heading out tomorrow for yet another fun week in parts heretofore unnamed. Yay me!

My poor wife.......

And since I'm scrounging today...

I done stole this one from the Curmudgeon, who links to The Liberty Zone. So, am I stealing what he rightfully stole? Meh. It's too good to pass up.

If I, as a while girl, proudly billed myself as a member of a group called "The Race" that promotes special privileges for white folks and said publicly that a "wise white woman with the richness of her experiences ...would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a black/Latino/(insert minority of the day here) male who hasn’t lived that life," would you all call me a racist?

I would pay good money to see Sotomayor asked that question on National television.

I stole it from Bruce

But this is just PART ONE. If you want to see PART TWO, you'll have to go over to his place.

I never knew the 1968 gun control laws were copied from Hiter's Nazi gun control. But I'm not surprised.

Banging my head against the wall

Hot Air has a link up to a "moderate conservative", who voted for Obama, and is now having second thoughts.

I'm twisting myself in half here. On one hand, it's wonderful that this person has seen the negative consequences of her actions. On the other hand, if she voted for Obama, just how conservative could she be?

It seems like the president's image is unraveling in recent months and we're getting a look at the real Obama underneath the PR, razzle, dazzle veneer he sports so well. I think Americans are growing weary of the sparkle, shine and high-spending policies this president is selling and want to see something more. Every week he is on TV holding a press conference for this or that announcement on funding, bailouts or programs to expand government exponentially. As my father exclaimed recently, "when does he have time to run the country, if he's on television everyday." This is a question to be pondered. Team Obama may have won the presidency through an innovative public relations campaign but winning over the confidence of Americans and setting the country on the right course will require careful thought, temperance and bipartisan collaboration.

I'm trying to not go over the edge here, but if you voted for Obama and didn't expect a full on turn towards Marxism, especially with a Communist Controlled Congress, then you were, quite up front and honestly, ignorant as all hell. The fact that you now recognize that voting for Obama was a mistake is a step in the right direction. But it's only a step. You MUST EDUCATE YOURSELF. Because not all the enemies of America come dressed in a tan leisure suit with Elvis glasses and big hair. Some of them come dressed in a suit and a smile, promising Hope and Change.

I can only hope that this country survives the next three and a half years. But I don't think it will. The free country I knew and loved is gone, and I'm more than a little afraid at what will be replacing it.

Hey Obamabots

Tell me again how your Liberal Lord and Messiah was going to make the world love us again?

Because snubbing the Queen of England on the commemoration of the D-Day landings? Not a good idea. Especially when she was actually serving in uniform during WWII.

Obama the Fumbling Dipshit strikes again! Anyone who voted for this amateurish fuckwit needs to be sterilized so that they can't pass their stupidity onto future generations.

Good Guys, Finishing First, etc.

Need a cookbook? How about a cookbook written by a real man, for real families?

Ladies and gents, I present to you Recipes for REAL Men. Now accepting pre-orders. Or any orders, actually. And it's for a good cause. For those of you who don't know Chris and Melody Byrne, they're fighting an international child custody battle against a real bastard, and they need the money to continue fighting the good fight.

Go. Get a cookbook. Spread the wealth.

I like Fox News

But once the actual news goes offline, and the commentators start up, I tend to just shut it off. Why? Because Bill O'Reilly makes my IQ drop.

I think the only real commentator I can deal with from Fox News is Glen Beck.

And this is why I turned the TV off in the first place. I don't want to pay money every month to have my intelligence insulted.

I'm not a Newt Gingrich fan

In fact, he's part of the GOP that started it's downturn, after a brilliant take-over. But at least he's calling out Sotomayor for her racist statements.

I wonder - will the GOP actually find a backbone, or are they just going to roll over and be limp jellyfish as seems to be their standard operating procedure?

Ahem

Obama and his fucking goon squad never waste an opportunity to tell people who's in charge, do they?

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs issued a pointed warning to opponents of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination Wednesday, urging critics to measure their words carefully during a politically charged confirmation debate.

Anyone remember the absolute shit-flinging festival the traitorous Democrat American Communist Party had with Alito and Roberts?

Yeah. So fuck them. Fuck them sideways, fuck them up a tree, fuck them with a chainsaw, fuck the fucking fuckers. Every damned Republican Stupid Party member needs to vote against Sotomayor, at least for the fact that she's a far-left, racist loony bitch. But even if she was a middle-of-the-road nominee, they should STILL vote against her just to remind the damned Democrat American Communist Party assholes that some people haven't forgotten the way they treated Alito, or Roberts, or any Republican nominated judge since Robert Bork.

UPDATE: For anyone who wants to come in and say "But Dave, you can't just call her a racist like that!".......

In addition to her work on the bench, Judge Sotomayor is an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law and a lecturer-in-law at Columbia Law School. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the New York Women’s Bar Association, the Puerto Rican Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Association of Judges of Hispanic Heritage, and the National Council of La Raza. She has received many honors including, most recently, an award from the National Association of Women Lawyers.

The National Council of La Raza. The Race. Who's motto is "Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada" (“For the race everything, outside the race nothing”). Now this gives me two options here; either she's a racist bitch, or she's so stupid and ignorant that she would become a member of a racist organization even though she doesn't share those racist views, in which case her judgement should rightly be called into question. So it's either racist or mind-numbingly stupid. That ain't good.

Grrrrrrr.....

After spending *mumblemumble* dollars to get my truck fixed, it's back in the shop after stalling out on me while I was headed off to get a haircut. It's been hard to start, and now has problems while driving. Much bad juju.

This kind of crap just drives me nuts. I was never a mechanical genius, and with newer engines I'm really screwed. I don't know why the truck is having problems. Hell, the mechanics probably don't know.

Dammit.

What really sucks is that it's raining, which means I have to steal the wife's car instead of riding my motorcycle.

Well, I wish I could say that I don't believe it

But I do.

Critical Updates Below: Red State, American Thinker, Joey Smith and Reliapundit provide anecdotal and quantitative evidence that would appear to confirm a decided bias against dealers who donated to GOP causes or to anti-Obama Democrats.

Special note for moonbats: no one here is saying that the sole criterion for closing a dealership was partisanship. What we ask is: does it seem odd that the list of closed dealerships appears to have contributed a grand total of $200 to Barack Obama and millions to GOP candidates/causes?

Quote from an attorney who Deposed Chrysler's president last week: "It became clear to us that Chrysler does not see the wisdom of terminating 25 percent of its dealers... It really wasn't Chrysler's decision. They are under enormous pressure from the President's automotive task force."

Stay tuned. Data crunching is underway.

Yep. Government control of the auto industry means that the government can control who stays in business and who doesn't. And don't tell me Obama wouldn't do it. He'll do anything he wants and get away with it because Congress is nothing more than a rubber stamp for his actions.

Armed insurrection sounds better every single day.

I found this little essay

Via BabyTrollBlog, and it's well worth reading if you want to understand why and how America has fallen.

While conservatives have been working to improve our democracy and our free-market economy, liberals have been working to replace our democracy with a dictatorship, and our free-market economy with a command economy controlled by the government. The liberals couldn't say this aloud, because if they did the American people would have tossed them out of office on their ears. So the liberals worked covertly, feigning support for democracy and for the free market while working diligently to undermine both.

This is why our politics has been so partisan, so vicious, and so deadlocked. This is why words have lost their meaning in Washington, why we can never get to the bottom of anything, why we lurch from one manufactured scandal to another. It's all been part of a decades-long effort by the liberals to throw sand in our eyes -- to keep us from seeing clearly where they really want to take us. (And this explains why, when we question their judgment on some issue, they go berserk and accuse us of questioning their patriotism. They're afraid we're on the verge of catching on. If you want to have some fun, the next time you're chatting with a liberal and he goes nuts when you call him a socialist, say to him: "I'm so sorry you're offended. Please tell me, what is there about socialism you don't like?" You won't get a coherent answer; he'll just accuse you of a hate crime.

Ladies and Gents, this is why the RINOs of the GOP are failing, and failing to get votes. Because they're still operating under the assumption that the opposing party actually wants America to succeed. The Democrat American Communist Party is anti-American by it's very actions, and need to finally be treated as the Domestic Enemies to the Constitution that they are.

Read it all. To defeat the enemy you must first identify him.

Sotomayor

So the new judge that Obama picked to fill Souter's position....

What can I say about her? Well, I want you to look at this statement:

As Judge Smith explained in a 2002 speech at Berkeley, he believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their “experiences as white men” in their decisionmaking, which he believes should “affect our decisions.”

Now you tell me if that statement was read at any liberal college (redundancy alert) there wouldn't be a shitstorm of epic proportions. But if a woman of any skin color says:

As Judge Sotomayor explained in a 2002 speech at Berkeley, she believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their “experiences as women and people of color” in their decisionmaking, which she believes should “affect our decisions.”

Suddenly it's alright. Because only whites can be racist.

If this racist bint gets seated, it'll be one of the more disgusting events to ever take place in that body.

California Proposition 8 upheld

Today the California Supreme Court vetoed same sex marriage. The down side to this is that all current same sex marriages that occurred before Proposition 8 stand. The reasoning's for this are questionable at best.
I can understand the whole that proposition 8 was not worded to be retroactive. But to say that it would cause issues with property rights! Come on, who are we kidding here?

Some may call this a hollow victory because of the remaining "marriages". Considering I thought it would be pretty much thrown out, I think we should be happy, not elated, but happy with this judgment.

Grateful Sorrow

To every Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine, and Coastie who has died in order to keep this country free, thank you.


We'll be back to your regularly scheduled politics tomorrow. But I think that today, this is all that needs to be said.

One thing that bugged me

...about Seattle this time around. Well, bugged me MORE than normal. All the men there? Feminine. Total girly men.

And I may get hate mail for this, but I really don't give a damn. There were men holding hands with their female counterpart, and I had a hard time telling who was the guy and who was the girl. It wasn't until they turned around and one of them had a goatee that I could tell who had the Y chromosome. They walked like a girl. Their mannerisms were feminine. The way they gestured with their hands was feminine. They were total and complete girly men from top to bottom. The lack of testosterone was staggering, and there were times I wanted to just go back to my hotel room and take a hot shower with scouring powder and a Brillo pad after mingling with the locals. I wanted to read this essay about five times in a row to remember what a real friggin' man is like.

The men of Seattle are not men anymore. When the homeless bums are more manly than the men, you have problems. Although it does explain why Seattle votes the way they do. There's not a single set of real balls left in the City that I could see.

Hell, I bet that when Phil goes to work, he doubles the amount of testosterone in a five-mile radius.

So folks, if you want to see what happens to a city when you remove the male portion of society, just look at Seattle. Oh, there are "men" there, if having a penis makes a person a "man". But I would say that their penises are nothing more than a fleshy appendage on an androgynous form, because I couldn't find a real man from that city in the week I was there.

Oh, and just to pile on - I'm always interested by the different dialects we have around the country, with the Southern Drawl, the Southwestern twang, the different dialects in and around New England, etc. etc. etc. You want to know what the Seattle dialect is?

It's a lisp. The majority of men in Seattle talk with a lisp. No, theriouthly, lithening to a converthathion in Pike Plathe Market was like eavethdropping on a conferenth of thpeech impedimenths.

Yeah. Go ahead and send me the hate mail.

Parental Units

My father has been visiting for the past few days. I've been showing him all the local sights, including one of the local brewery's, where he purchased a shirt that read "The Liver is Evil, and Must be Punished".

Hey, he's a Marine. What do you expect?

We've also been stuffing him full of food and good alcohol, as much as he can stand. Literally. We stuff him until he can barely stand. It's what a good son does. And since this is Wisconsin, we're stuffing him full of the local delights, which in this case are the local beers, home-made bratwurst, and ten-year old sharp cheddar cheese. Mmmmmm, good!

So anyways, if I'm not online much, now you know why.

Yet another domestic terror attack

Lets say it together.

They're not Muslims... this is just another 'random act' by 'mentally unstable' individuals with no ties to international terrorism.

FBI arrest four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane

The FBI and NYPD busted a four-man homegrown terror cell Wednesday night that was plotting to blow up two Bronx synagogues while simultaneously shooting a plane out of the sky, sources told the Daily News.

The idea was to create a "fireball that would make the country gasp," one law enforcement said.
...

The suspects - three U.S.-born citizens and one Haitian immigrant - at least three of whom were said to be jailhouse converts to Islam, were angry about the deaths of Muslims in Afghanistan, sources told The News.
...

The group's alleged ringleader, James Cromitie, according to the complaint, discussed targets with an undercover agent. "The best target [the World Trade Center] was hit already," he allegedly told the agent. Later, he rejoiced in a terrorist attack on a synagogue.

"I hate those motherf-----s, those f---ing Jewish bastards. . . . I would like to get [destroy] a synagogue."
...

The men allegedly parked car bombs wired to cell phones outside the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center. They were also heading to Stewart Air National Guard Base in Newburgh, Orange County, when the law swooped in on them.

FBI Thwarts Attacks On NYC Temple, Upstate Airport

Since the attacks that brought down the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, authorities have thwarted a number alleged plots against area targets including the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, John F. Kennedy Airport, the Herald Square subway station and the Brooklyn Bridge.
...

Convicted in the Fort Dix case were: Jordanian-born cab driver Mohamad Shnewer; Turkish-born convenience store clerk Serdar Tatar; and brothers Dritan, Eljvir and Shain Duka, ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, who had a roofing business.

4 arrested in plot to bomb NYC temple

"This was a long, well-planned investigation, and it shows how real the threat is from homegrown terrorists," said Rep. Peter King, of New York.

FBI, NYPD Arrest 4 in Alleged Plot to Bomb NY Synagogues

Authorities said they had the plotters under surveillance since June of 2008

Domestic Terror attacks in USA since '93

Every terrorist act prevented is a defeat because the apologists immediately claim that terrorist would not have committed the crime and was 'entrapped'.

Every successful terrorist attack is a defeat because the apologists claim it is a 'response' by powerless victims no matter how absurd those claims might be.
