So, ya buy any gold yet?

I mean, once Kommisar Obama and his corrupt Communist Congress finish destroying our economy, I figure that those paper Federal Notes will be useful only for wiping your ass with. You're gonna need some hard currency, people. Or something you can barter.

I have a few skills that can be put to good use, both in woodworking, leatherworking, gardening, basic skills of that nature. The Mrs. ability to cook will come in handy. And the fact that we've been making most of our own food from scratch means that we have practice.

Oh, and by the way - I consider the fact that Chucky The Schmuck Schumer has any influence on how this country is run, cause enough for individual States to secede from the Union.

The "chattering classes" (that would be you and me, folks!) don't care about wasteful spending, you slimy sack of shit? Are New Yorkers so retarded that they keep electing that worthless fucking asswipe time and time again? Why yes, yes they are.

Are you a New Yorker who didn't like what I just typed? Too bad. You've got Chucky the Commie Schmuck, Charlie "Taxes? What taxes?" Rangel, you had Hillary "Hay y'all! Ah'm frum Niew York Citay!" Clinton.... dear lord, what's been put into the water supply of NYC anyways? I know there are good people in NYFC. My advice? GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! SAVE YOURSELVES BEFORE YOU DROWN IN THE TIDALWAVE OF MARXIST IDIOCY!

Well, it IS a plan...

I mean, just because it's a plan doesn't mean it'll save anyone but the Communist Elite, but it's still a plan.

As Kevin Baker says, he'll be the first in the "re-education" camps.

Ummmm... mebby I'm mistaken

But didn't the Left go absolutely apeshit when Bush took a break? Uh huh. Yeah.....

Anybody seen this?

This is the failure of the Government to do it's CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY.

An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals — seeking $32 million in damages — who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border, the Washington Times reported Monday.

The rancher, Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home, the newspaper reported.

Does the government want vigilantism? Because if they do, all they have to do is keep on keepin' on, not doing the job that is required of them, and allowing US citizens to get shafted.

Lotta coyotes out in that part of the country, and I don't mean the border-hopping wetbacks who funnel in drugs and illegal aliens. I'm talking about the four-footed varmint. Now see, back when I was in high school, living out in the country, we had a lot of coyotes as well. And when one of our animals died, a cow, a horse, we would just drag the carcass out into the woods and leave it. A week later, it was gone. Those coyotes will pick every scrap of meat off the bones, and then take the bones to gnaw on.

And a man has a lot less meat on him than a horse does. I figure a pack of coyotes would pick that carcass clean in about two days or less.

Now, we have certain facts that are carved in stone at this point.

1) The Federal Government is willfully negligent in it's duties to secure the border and protect the country.

2) US Citizens are being negatively impacted by the FedGov's negligence, to the point of being threatened in their own homes, losing property to theft from illegals, etc.

3) When protecting themselves and their homes, US Citizens are now being punished through the judicial system by the very illegal aliens they have to protect themselves from. And the FedGov is doing nothing to stop it.

Now, given that we have those three facts carved in stone, what are our options? Because I'm going to give you the option that a lot of people are looking at now that they've been backed into a corner by the willful negligence of the Federal Government - Shoot, shovel, and shut up. Remember that little post I had up a while ago about laws replacing violence? The laws can only replace violence as long as the laws are both adequate and upheld. The moment the laws are weak and discarded, a person has to resort back to violence.

Since the Federal Government has willfully abdicated it's responsibility to secure the border, i.e. discarded the laws, guess what people are going to have to do? And you can be damn sure that there are plenty of ranchers out there who are reading this and thinking to themselves "Well then, I'm just gonna shoot the little bastards and not tell anyone about it!" If it were me who's house was being broken into, who's livestock was being killed, who's property was being restored, I wouldn't be holding people and calling the Border Patrol, I would be making people disappear. And the four-legged coyotes would be getting fat on my property.

Is that what people want? Is that what the FedGov wants? Because that's where we are headed.

Here they go again...

Fannie, Freddie to channel mortgage rescue: sources

"They want to get rid of all the high-cost mortgages out there and figure that there are 1.5 million people who could stay in their homes this year if their loans were modified," said one industry source who asked for anonymity. "But it's just really complicated and expensive to do these kind of workouts."

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own or insure 31 million mortgages -- about 58 percent of all U.S. single-family home loans -- but only a fraction of their borrowers qualify for a refinancing program that was meant to save several hundred thousand. A similar initiative run by the Department of Housing and Urban Development that promised to help 400,000 borrowers has only reached a few hundred.

An interesting read.

I'm sick of the news

I truly am. Every time I turn around, I'm reading about how the Democrat American Communist Party is destroying this country, one bit at a time. This time it's Kommisar Obama killing about 25,000 businesses with the stroke of a pen.

He doesn't give a shit about the people who will lose their jobs. He's just doing the bidding of the AFL-CIO like a good little flunky. Hey, they helped get him elected, so now he gives them what THEY want. Who cares if businesses go under and people lose their jobs? Who cares if it will cripple the economy. Our Socialist Paradise beckons! It's the new Five Year Plan!

And what sickens me even worse is that there's a big chunk of American who are happy about it.

I've made up my mind on a few issues - when the airborne excrement impacts the rotating air-movement device, I'll be able to protect myself and maybe a few other people. If you voted for Obama or any of the current crop of Socialists, I'm going to leave you out in the cold. I will not give any assistance to the people who put us in this horrible situation.

Thems the breaks. We need to make stupidity painful again. Maybe when the bullshit "stimulus" bill passes and sinks this country into the next Great Depression, people will realise that more government isn't the answer.

Or maybe they'll just blame the Republicans for it, like they've been doing with ALL their problems for the past thirty years.

I'm glad I don't have cable

Because I probably would have shot my TV by now by watching the news. The very same people who ruined our economy are pushing to sent it straight to hell. Two RINOs might be what the American Communist Party needs to foist this economic disaster on America.

We had a chance to get rid of Specter. We missed that chance, and now it's coming back to bite us in the ass.

I wonder...... when the country breaks down, the next Great Depression hits, and Left finishes turning this country into a socialist hellhole, ya think people might finally start to fight for their freedoms instead of handing them over to statist fuckheads?

You know what depresses me? I only see half of this country fighting for it's freedoms. The other half gave them away, and are happy about it. I should remember this little scale...

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

Too many people are either complacent or apathetic. And a large number of people in this country are dependent on the FedGov for their daily bread. They don't want anything to change. They'll happily sit in their government given seat on the government funded bus as it drives over the cliff, probably bitching that they "deserve" more of something or other.

*sigh*

Yeah, I'm not really in a good mood. Seeing your country commit suicide does that to a person.

Cooking today

The Ragin' Mrs. and I (well, mostly the Mrs.) are cooking a feast today for about 80 people. She's going to be the kitchen Goddess, and I'll be manning the grill.

(Michael, that's what all the rolls are for)

I've got 12 pork roasts and 12 chickens to grill. The pork is already seasoned with our spice rub, and I've got a mix of applewood and black walunt that I'll be using to smoke it. I figure that a six-hour smoke will make the meat just fall apart.

So once again, I'm going to be busy today.

Someone tell me

If the S-CHIP bill signed by Kommisar Obama uses taxes on tobacco to fund the Democrat American Communist Party's socialist healthcare plans, doesn't that mean that they need MORE smokers to pay for everything?

Of course, if they don't get enough money off of THOSE taxes, then they'll just have to dip into the FedGov honeypot, right? I mean, it's for the CHILDREN!

Gah.

Let me throw this link to the New Hampshire House Concurrent Resolution up again. I printed off three copies and sent them to my legislators at the State level. I strongly urge everyone else to do so.

Baking bread

Don't ask me why, but I've got to bake a gross of sourdough rolls before Saturday.

Yeah. I'm busy.

Could Manas AFB be history?

Could this be what was meant when Biden told us that Obama would be tested by the world?

My Past Follows Me

Even after I left Seattle, the worthless, corrupt idiots and shitheels are still going to end up screwing up this country.

Ron Sims, the man who made damn sure that Governor Select Gregoire got "elected" by counting ineligible ballots, and then blocking the investigation into the recount of those ineligible ballots, who has gotten his ass fined off and still faces lawsuits for his criminal action, is going to be #2 at HUD.

THE MOST! CORRUPT! ADMINISTRATION! EVER!

Yes people...

This dumber than a sack of wet hammers idiot is the speaker of the house:



You want to know HOW I know that the people of San Francisco are so mentally retarded that they should all be institutionalized and subjected to years of electroshock therapy? Because they keep electing that woman, who isn't fit to walk the halls of Congress, much less hold any kind of position there.

Global Poverty Act-brought to you by none other than Obama

I ran across this article on the "Global Poverty Act". It is a beautiful little piece of work that give .7% of our Gross National Product to "starving 3rd world countries via the UN. It is quite an interesting read.

Improving on a quote

BabyTrollBlog has a quote up from Walter Williams:

A visual representation of the stimulus package is: Imagine you see a person at work taking buckets of water from the deep end of a swimming pool and dumping them into the shallow end in an attempt to make it deeper. You would deem him stupid. That scenario is equivalent to what Congress and the new president proposes for the economy.

--Walter E. Williams

If I may..... (ahem).

While this visual representation is mostly accurate, it is missing a rather integral part. You see, the person isn't quite taking water from one end, then trudging to the other end and dumping the bucket. No, that person is taking water from one end, then handing that bucket off to a government official standing at the side of the pool to checks it to ensure that there is the proper amount of water in the bucket. THAT person hands it off to anther government drone who tests it to make sure that there are no EPA violating levels of arsenic or lead in it. THAT drone hands it off to another drone who labels it something like Bucket #1, lot 001, sample A. THAT drone hands it off to a tax collector who ensures that the government gets their progressively deduced portion of water in the bucket. THAT worker hands it off to a properly licensed union worker who has the government qualifications necessary to properly empty a bucket into a body of water, even though anyone can do the job.

All the government drones and workers are surrounded by hordes of screaming idiots telling them to do it THIS way, or THAT way, or saying that they know a better way to measure/test/label/dump the bucket.

And you can bet that each and every worthless bastard standing on the sidelines is dipping THEIR cup into the bucket to make sure that they get their fair share out of someone else's bucket, so when that union certified bucket dumper finally empties the bucket into the water, instead of five gallons of water you have one or two pints actually emptied into the pool.

The government is NOT the solution. The solution is for the government to get their greedy, filthy claws off of our economy and let Americans do what we do best - SUCCEED. Which we probably would be doing right now, if it weren't for the parasites in Congress sucking the life out of this country bit by bit.

Tom Daschle withdraws his name

From consideration for Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Nancy Killefer does the same for consideration for Chief Performance Officer.

I say audit everybody. And I mean EVERYBODY. Every member of Congress for the past twenty years. Every administration official from the same timeframe. Friggin' EVERYONE gets audited. Because I'll bet my entire paycheck that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The high and mighty elitist bastards think they don't have to follow the laws that they themselves create. It's tar and feathers time, people.

Holy....

Moly.

That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of America.

I'm printing this out, sending it to my State representatives, and suggesting that they do something similar.

Someone please tell me

Just how much are the Steelers paying the refs these days, anyways? It wasn't as bad as 2005, but the 3rd quarter was as horrible as I've seen in a while. There was one roughing the passer call that should have been intentional grounding, and one un-necessary roughness call that was flat out bullshit, and both calls saved the Steelers.

It must be nice to have the zebras just hand you a game. Especially the Super Bowl.

Photo Time

This time it's not one of mine - it's a photo taken at Camp Dodge, Iowa, with about 18,000 troops.



I'd seen this in a book somewhere, and a buddy of mine just emailed it to me. One of the interesting things about it is that in order to get the right perspective on this photo, they had to use most of the people at the top, from about the torch on down to her shoulder. You can count seventeen across at the very base of the photo, but once you get to the torch it's far more than that.
