Our Neighborhood

We live in a nice middle class neighborhood. The neighborhood to the south used to be a nice one, but it’s a slum now.

It seems their Home Owners Association fees were exorbitant and it made it harder and harder for the owners to pay their fees AND keep their homes in good repair. Over time, it simply became a slum. Why didn’t they throw out the association and put new more reputable managers in? Why didn’t they throw the bums out, instead of allowing them to rape their earnings, until they were bums themselves? Who knows?

Instead of standing up to the association, they have started simply moving into our neighborhood. They are camping in our yards and our neighborhood park. We called the police to arrest them for trespassing, but were told the government said leave them alone.

We got together with our own home owners association and decided to make our community a gated one to stem the tide. We began construction on it, and the government came and said, you cant build that.

In fact, they said, the people living in your yards need to be brought into your homes. After all, they said, your house is much bigger than just you need. So a family moved into our second floor.

The family upstairs in our home has 4 kids and one on the way. The mother is having complications. The government came to me and said, you have health insurance. The family upstairs doesn’t and the mom needs medical attention for her pregnancy, so you need to let them use your insurance and you need to pay the deductibles.

Their kids go to our schools now, and so our property taxes went up to pay for the influx of kids. Our crime rate has gone up, but the new people say it’s not them. Yes, they were trespassers, but that doesn’t mean they would commit other crimes.

The dad upstairs has agreed to mow the lawn for $10, but it hardly offsets the myriad of extra costs we’ve incurred since they moved in. 

Where does our housing addition go from here? We don’t know, but it doesn’t seem fair….does it? We are told it’s partly our fault that the addition to the south is in the shape it’s in, but isn’t it THEIR fault? Didn’t THEY allow it? Why does our neighborhood have to suffer, because they didn’t make the needed changes in theirs?

Gosh, I hope this doesn’t spread to the whole country. The cost would be unbearable, wouldn’t it?

 

Cheers!

Playing Politics, Democrat Style

For years now Democrat’s have been playing politics with our security as a nation.

They inflated the Bush Administration’s involvement with Abu Ghraib (which was basically zero) to the extent that some of the Dem’s in Congress tried to suggest that Cheney had ordered this treatment of detainee’s, even when they absolutely knew it was an isolated incident. It didn’t matter that it would inflame middle easterner’s, they played it for the political points.

Time and again the Dem’s tried to subvert our battle effort’s by repeating the war was lost, when Bush wanted to increase troop levels. Demagoguery is a friend of theirs. The troop morale be damned, they had political points to score against a weakened President.

They increasingly harangued against Gitmo and insinuated torture was being carried out there, even when they had visited the place numerous times, and saw the over the top special treatment the detainee’s there receive. Since most American’s don’t get to visit Gitmo, it was easy to keep the lie going for political effect.

Dianne Feinstein (D) California, has been a vocal critic of the war, yet her husbands company made hundreds of millions from the war in government contract’s. John Murtha (D) Pennsylvania, has called our soldiers murderers, while his nephew raked in millions from war contract’s. Yet, if you listened to the media, the only people that made money from the war were Cheney-Bush cronies in Halliburton. In fact, they said it was the only reason we were in the war!

To date, the Dem’s have succeeded in destroying the Republican Party through their attacks on the Bush Administration, which continue even today.

Their strategy is to move the ball away from thing’s going wrong in the Obama Administration. Stay focused on Bush and his perceived misdeeds and use a willing press to help keep Obama and the Dem’s afloat.

It’s worked quite successfully, as Obama is socializing our country into oblivion, and no one is saying a word. People think, at least he’s better than Bush.

Problem number one has appeared when they got greedy and wanted to prosecute Bush people. This wouldn’t be a problem, except it exposes them to hypocrisy, because shock of shocks, the Dem’s knew about our interrogation techniques all along!

Back when public sentiment was for prosecuting war against those that hurt us, the Dem’s were quite fine with using “whatever you have to” to glean information from the bad guys. That’s what Chuck Schumer (D) of New York said when told about the various interrogation techniques.

He later went on to be one of the most vocal Bush critic’s screaming at the top of his hypocritical lungs that we should close Gitmo, and not be water boarding anyone.

Now Nancy Pelosi (D), Speaker of the House, who was all for prosecuting Bush people, has been discovered to have known about the technique herself as far back as 2002. I’m shocked, I tell you.

Today, the Obama Administration denied Cheney’s request to release the minutes from ALL of the meeting’s they had with congressional member’s and staff. I wonder why? Politics, maybe? Maybe we might find out just who is telling the truth and who is not?

If it stays a war of words, a he said/she said/they said thing, the Dem’s will win because they have a willing media on their side. They know this, so don’t expect to see those minutes any time soon. It will only be if they are forced to by FOIA request’s. It will not be because they want the truth out there for the nation to see.

The last thing a Democrat wants is the truth. Lies, innuendo, demagoguery, and obfuscation works much much better when playing politics, Democrat style.

 

Cheers!

Why Do Liberal’s Think the Constitution is a Living Document?

It’s been said the Constitution is a living breathing document that is open to different interpretation’s by different generation’s as the time’s change in America.

Therefore, you can find a “right to privacy” in the 1970’s, when there wasn’t that right before then. You can find that the “right to gay marriage” exists now, where before it would have been unheard of to even suggest it.

Why have amendments at all, if you can just change it as you go along, without any voting by anyone? Clearly, the reason for amendments and for them being very hard to ratify is because our founders wanted it to be very hard to add or subtract from that document.

They expected it to be a bedrock of our nation, not a sea of ever changing quicksand. They wanted it to be the same 200 years from it’s inception as it was the day they all ratified it. I truly believe our founders would be mortified at the way liberal judges make policy out of whole cloth and ignore the Constitution altogether.

How have the American people not risen in revolt to the usurpation of the Constitution? Well, it lies in the insidious nature of the left’s ability to indoctrinate. It starts in the schools. Communist and leftist leaders have long known the way to win people over is to get to them when they are young.

Stalin said, “Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” He knew that the bedrock of his communist country was being built in the school houses of the USSR.

The left here knew this too. The left began by winning school board elections, and thereby setting the school districts agendas. Republicans used to win the big election, the presidency, but wasn’t as involved in small elections, but I submit those elections are every bit as critical to why we are the nation we are now, as the presidency.

The left meanwhile, has implemented curriculum that has less and less to do with our founders and more and more to do with “diversity”. Meaning, they don’t want to teach our kids about the dead white guys any longer, they want to teach them about the contributions of blacks, Indians, Orientals, etc. to the nation.

That’s all fine, but if we don’t talk about those dead white guys, then we don’t talk about the thing’s those dead white guys did, like writing the Constitution. So kids don’t know our founding documents, or why the founders had certain ideas about freedom, and independence.

If we don’t know why the founders held hard to certain truths as they saw them, then it’s no big deal to change those truths over time. No one even knows they’ve been changed!

So what to do? Well, I would say, get involved in your school board elections. Start at the grassiest of the grass roots. It all starts there. Sarah Palin started there, and she’s done alright. If we can start taking back our school boards, we can start working toward rectifying the damage that has been done to our Republic.

If we sit back and do nothing, and expect things to change, we are fools. As a nation, every day we move to the left. It is up to us, to actually DO something to stem that tide, and get things moving back to the right.

 

Cheers!

Playing With Numbers, Are People This Stupid?

So it seems Obama is increasing the deficit by 300%, but his people are out shouting how they are going to cut the deficit by 50% by the end of his administration.

Are people not smart enough to understand that means a net increase of 150%, even if they actually did cut it by 50%, which they won’t come close to? Are people stupid enough to accept this rationale?

Probably, at least for now. The guy makes gaffe after gaffe, mistake after mistake, insult after insult, yet American’s as a whole still like him. I can honestly say, I have no idea why. I don’t get it. I haven’t sipped the kool-aid. I do now know that the Anti-Christ could come and no one will care, if he smiles nice and “loves” the world.

He is in the process of a complete government takeover of just about every aspect of our lives, and no one seems to mind. He drops thousands of private sector defense jobs because of his defense spending cuts (the one place a Democrat actually loves to save money), but then announces 20,000 new pentagon jobs. So he replaces private sector jobs with government bureaucrat jobs, brilliant. It makes 20,000 more people beholden to his administration.

Obama is like the leader of the Morlocks fattening up his Eloi meal tickets. Instead of actually eating us, he is just going to consume everything we own and have worked for all of our lives.

He has put a debt of over $11,000 per person in the United States on each one of us, that’s every man, woman, and child everywhere in the United States. How many of those inner city welfare folks are going to pay their share of that? Uh, huh. How many illegal immigrants are going to come forth and say, here’s my $11,000, please take it for the common good? How many children have that much cash laying about?

Well, for everyone of those that doesn’t pay their $11,000, you and I get to pay it for them. Isn’t this fun?

Since most of the ones that can actually afford to pay their share, are outnumbered (and by a big margin) by those that will never pay a dime in their lives, guess how much you will actually pay?  Approximately 10 times the $11,000. Nice.

And while you and I pay that, Obama gets the votes of those that will never pay a dime. They think he is pretty neat for giving them so much stuff. They hate you rich people that actually are the ones paying, but they love their boy Obama.

Think he’s done soaking you yet? Nah, environmental concerns are a big special interest of his. They want money too. Here comes cap and trade taxes, clean fuel taxes, taxes on bigger automobiles, and on and on.

If the Republican’s don’t find some really good candidates for the mid-terms to get back some ability to oppose this lunatic, we may end as the nation our founders actually envisioned, not that that would matter to Obama’s ilk. They despise this country anyway.

It’s a shame that we who love it, are going to pay for it’s ruination isn’t it? Keep up the fight. I know this sounds gloomy, and it is frankly, but we can still stem the tide. It’s not too late…yet.

 

Cheers!

It’s Easy To Love the Child

My mom once told me, “Happy Birthday Son, you’re 15 going on 55. Lighten up.” I’ve always been a stick in the mud, tight a**, mature for my age, and many other nice and not so nice descriptive’s. I’ve always been a conservative.

One of my best friends was just the opposite. He never wanted to grow up. He was the perennial college student, frat rat, life of the party. For illustrative purposes, he would be the liberal, if not for the fact that his dad is a staunch conservative and raised him correctly, so I believe he actually is conservative. Still, it’s easy to love the child.

Now I have my childish ways. I have a temper, I love to play computer games, and I’m not the most responsible with money (that might be an understatement). I know liberals that are intelligent and fairly mature in their own lives, but for some reason, are children when it comes to politics.

Now that I’ve set my ground rules, here’s my question. Why is America and the world moving ever leftward? Where are the grownups to stop the madness we are heading toward?

The answer lies in the maturity level of the populous as a whole. We are growing ever younger in our attitudes, and it keeps people in the liberal mold much longer than it used to.

18 year olds today still want to be led by the hand and spoon fed. 18 year olds from my generation were more childish than 18 year olds from my dad’s generation, and so on.

Remember in the sixties, the hippies said “never trust anyone over 30 years old”? Well, those guys are in their 60’s now, but a lot of them still try and act like they are 21. Dennis Miller, the comedian, was a typical Hollywood liberal good time Charlie, until 9/11 happened. Dennis, unlike most liberals, grew up that day.

He realized the hideous fallacies of the “cant we all just get along” crowd. He realized some people are going to hate you no matter what, and you had better take care of them, before they take care of you. He realized peace and safety for America actually is bought and paid for by a strong Defense.

True to their childish form, his old Hollywood friends disowned him as they found out he had gone over to the dark side. Hollywood loves a good party, and Dennis went and grew up and became a fuddy duddy that no one wants around any longer.

While Reagan was immensely popular, he achieved that popularity from being a parental figure that people trusted to steer us back from the Carter years. People saw what childishness got us as a country, and wanted an adult to right the ship.

Still, Reagan was not looked upon as being cool or hip, he was a statesman. Bush, Sr. and GW Bush were also considered stodgy, wearing their suits in the Oval Office and such, while Clinton and now Obama were the cool hipsters. Clinton was a frat boy run amok, wearing shorts in the Oval Office. Obama speaks in hip slang, and shoots hoops.

I know a lot of that comes from the Mainstream media that WANT those type of images projected, but it’s still true that the liberal presidents are going to be considered cooler, because they, in fact, are more immature, and remember, it’s easy to love the child.

Liberals are for abortion. Abortion is an immature conclusion to a bad decision or circumstance.

Liberals are anti-military. They want the world to just love one another. Again, an immature response to an unrealistic childish world view. If we are nice to them, they will be nice to us.

It doesn’t work in the real world. Other countries respect you, because you are strong and rich and powerful. They want your money, and they don’t want you invading them, so they are nice. Saddam Hussein didn’t respect the military force of Kuwait, so he simply took it over. Hitler wasn’t afraid of France or Poland, so he invaded them.

Liberals want the government to care for everyone from cradle to grave. We are the richest nation in the world, and yet we have hungry children without health insurance. How can that be? We must give everyone everything. Equality means equal outcome. Simply childish.

America is founded on equal opportunity not equal outcome. A poor person in America can become rich if they work hard. That can’t happen in very many places in the world, but it can happen here. As government grows to encompass all things for all people, it stifles the freedom and creativity needed for individuals to be successful.

It’s easy to love the child. It’s hard to be the adult and say, no. This is bad for everybody, it’s snake oil that sounds good, but it’s not. There are no free lunches. If the government provides a service to people, someone else has to pay for it. If enough of those someone else’s pay too much, they save money in other ways, like cutting employees, spending less on other things, etc.

The mature response is let American’s be as free as possible to make money. If they make money they create more jobs that allow more people to make more money.

The government has never made anyone rich, except themselves. Private citizens are who make other people rich. If we are prosperous as a nation, the poor will get better care through more job opportunities and if needed, charities.

The key to success for everyone is the creation of as many private sector jobs as possible. If unemployment is at 1%, then we can deal with why that 1% can’t get work and what to do with them. As government stifles the private sector through more and more spending, jobs go away, unemployment goes up, and more people become reliant on government.

So why is the world moving left when common sense says it should be moving right? Well, no one likes the adult, the parent. Everyone loves the child.

Kids don’t like to be told to clean their room, take out the trash, etc. Liberals don’t like to be told don’t kill your baby, get a job, etc. Kid’s would prefer another kid be in charge, so they can have fun. Liberal’s love liberals in charge, because it’s a free for all no responsibilities fun-fest, paid for by the adults.

It’s hard to be the adult. It’s hard and getting harder to be a conservative, but the world needs us, whether it knows it right now or not.

Here’s hoping they realize it, and grow up real soon. Now take out the trash!

 

Cheers!

Orwell Goes Green

Here’s the obligatory link to the article we will be discussing:

Orwell Goes Green

I will be excerpting it some if you don’t want to read it all, so here we go…

It seems an advertising firm was hired by politicians and environmentalist’s to find how they can sell global warming more effectively to an ever increasingly dubious populous. This firm inadvertently sent their findings out to reporters in an email, and it provides a great illustration of how we are manipulated by politicians and how a NY Times reporter slants bad news for liberals and tries to make lemonade out of the lemons.

 The problem with global warming, some environmentalists believe, is “global warming.”

The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals…

Well no doubt this image is because that’s basically who is behind the environmental movement in America. So, duh.

Instead of grim warnings about global warming, the firm advises, talk about “our deteriorating atmosphere.”

Yes, our deteriorating atmosphere is much cheerier than global warming.

 Don’t confuse people with cap and trade; use terms like “cap and cash back” or “pollution reduction refund.”

Isn’t cap and cash back much less confusing than cap and trade? Really, what they are trying to imply is that this new huge tax is actually another Obama/Democrat rebate, which is blatantly Orwellian.

Here’s a youtube video of Congressman Dingell of Michigan (D) and Retard Al Gore of Never Never Land (F) discussing the very fact that cap and trade is a tax, a very big tax. Note at around the 1:28 mark Al Gore says he wants both taxes being discussed. What a good little liberal he is, he wants all of our money.

 

 

Now back to the article itself.

…briefing intended for government officials and environmental leaders.

I want to note that the reporter didn’t note who the government officials were. One might assume they were not conservative Republican officials, but it’s not mentioned. Keep this in mind for a little further down.

The answer, Mr. Perkowitz said in his presentation at the briefing, is to reframe the issue using different language.

Yes, we must use Orwellian thought control at all possible times.

“Another key finding: remember to speak in TALKING POINTS aspirational language about shared American ideals, like freedom, prosperity, independence and self-sufficiency…

Just wow. There is nothing independent or free about the environmental movement. It wants to subjugate all Americans and indeed the world into it’s totalitarian idealism of what they and only they believe the Earth needs to survive. These talking points are in direct contradiction of what their true aims are. They say free, they mean enslaved. They say independent, they mean enslaved. When they say self-sufficient and prosperous, they mean them, everyone else they mean enslaved.

Opponents of legislation to combat global warming are engaged in a similar effort. Trying to head off a cap-and-trade system, in which government would cap the amount of heat-trapping emissions allowed and let industry trade permits to emit those gases, they are coaching Republicans to refer to any such system as a giant tax that would kill jobs.

Notice the “opponents” of global warming are Republicans. They didn’t name the government officials earlier as Democrats, but the reporter clearly wants you to know that the global warming opponents are Republicans. I wonder why?

Regardless, the reason global warming is losing is because global warming is opinion not fact, despite what Al Gore says. The further we get from the post-Katrina hysteria the more we see we once again over reacted. Swine Flu anyone? We as a nation freak out about once every 5-10 years over something. We think the world is going to end. This isn’t any different.

We shouldn’t litter, because it’s ugly. We shouldn’t waste energy because it’s costly, but beyond that, meh.

Until Al Gore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and all of the other global warming alarmist’s live in a 900 sq. ft. home and ride their bikes everywhere, I won’t take them or their cause seriously, and no amount of Orwellian speak is going to make me change my mind.

 

Cheers!

Congratulations Katie and Michael

Our daughter Katie was voted to be Student Council President for her High School for next year, her Senior year. It is an advanced Academy and she is currently in the running to be valedictorian also.

Congratulations Katie! We are extremely proud of you and I am sure you will be a much better president for your school, then Obama is for our nation.

Our son Michael was honored with a potentially huge career advancement. I can’t go in to detail on it, but it’s very prestigious and we are very excited and happy for him. Michael is one of the good ones. He will make it no matter what, but this would be a huge plus. Congratulations Michael!

Remaking America, Arlen Specter, and Other Tidbits

Editor Note: Before I start my next post, I want to apologize for not having more updates the past few days. I have started a new job and it is requiring a lot of my time. I try to make at least one posting per day, and am truly sorry I haven’t been able to lately. I will get better as my life gets back to a more routine schedule. Thanks for your patience, please keep checking back.

 

Obama’s 100 Days

This news is a couple of days old, but I wanted to comment on these items.

At Obama’s 100 day lovefest he said he was “remaking America”. I didn’t know he was George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben Franklin, and all of the other Founding Fathers rolled in to one personage. I just thought he thought he was Jesus.

It takes a lot of chutzpah to make statements like these, and even more for the media to not pound him on what he means by it.

Imagine if you will, Reagan or GW Bush making a statement like this. To say the media would have totally freaked out is a horrible understatement. They would tried to form lynch mobs themselves. Everything Reagan or Bush would have done from that point forward would have been couched with those infamous words.

Remember President Bush #1 said “new world order” in a speech? He was immediately castigated for it. “Aha!” people screamed. “He’s a globalist and trying to form a one world government!” It still haunts talks about his presidency, only finishing second to “no new taxes”.

Why the insipid silence from the media now? Obviously, they are in the tank for him and his ideology as evidenced by the idiotic fluff questioning he gets at his press conferences. But there’s more than that, they are invested in his presidency. The media can not try and make him look bad because they made him in the first place.

We are on our own folks. No MSM is going to give the Republicans or Conservatives a fair shake, not that they ever have. We as bloggers, and online reporters are going to have to force the media’s hand as often as we can, and hope it reaches the streets of America.

 

Arlen Specter

I am so happy that he left the Republican party, I can’t even type without smiling. I know the Democrats are now going to be able to wreak havoc on us, but it’s worth it for now. They were going to win him over on much of their agenda anyway, so it really isn’t as devastating at it might seem.

Of course, he blamed the Republican party for his leaving stating it had moved to the right. Oh if that were only so! Unfortunately, it’s not. He can’t say, “hey I was gonna get my butt kicked in the primary because I vote like the liberal that I am, so I left because I want to keep my power as long as my rusty old fingers can grasp it.”; ie, he blames someone else.

You have just seen a true politician in action. He is the quintessential American statesman of this century in action. So far removed are our modern politicians from our founders, they might as well be from another country. 90% of them are just like him. Serving in Congress was never supposed to be a lifetime job, but these rascals can’t do what George Washington did, and quietly walk away from the power.

They want to be rich and famous, and they aren’t attractive enough to be actors, so they become politicians. Why do we keep voting them in? We always think our guy is the good one, and everyone else’s are the bad ones. It’s like our kids, it’s never their fault, it’s the other kids that made our kids do bad.

Republicans did self imposed term limits a few years back, and of course, the Democrats did not. The result was we lost seats because they became open as the Republicans bowed out. My hat is off to those that did that. Unfortunately, it didn’t catch on with most of America.

Liberal areas love their lifelong money grabbing politicians, and never vote them out, even when caught doing salacious or criminal acts. The peoples of those areas love their money stealing more than they love this country. I’m not sure that will ever change.

 

Other Tidbits

Any American car company that Obama hands the reigns over to the UAW to control, will be a company that I never buy from again. I love Dodge Ram pickups, but if he gives Chrysler to the UAW it’s DOA to me. I’ll buy a Ford most likely, since they haven’t had to take any money to survive…yet.

Harry Reid said Obama told him “I have a gift, Harry”, when Reid told him he had given a great speech. The messiah complex of this guy is getting closer to scary, and Harry Reid’s idiocy is confirmed. They guy tells the story as if it’s a good thing. He’s so far removed from reality that he doesn’t see the incredible narcissism in it. Obama failed to mention his “gift” is a Panasonic Port-A-View 3000 Teleprompter that we taxpayers bought for him, without it he’s a bumbling idiot.

Greg Gutfeld wrote a commentary that is so brilliant, do yourself a big favor and read it here:

THE UNCOMMON BRAVERY OF GULIANA RANCIC

TIVO his show on Fox News if you can and watch it. Watch it more than once, it’s sometimes a train wreck, most times absolute brilliance. Give a weeks worth of chances and I think you will be hooked, if you don’t then you sir, are worse than Hitler! (a little joke from the show)

 

That’s it for now, I compressed a couple of days into this posting, please let me know your thoughts. Click the Comments link and tell me. It’s the only way I know you are out there.

 

Cheers!

A Great Idea for the Welfare State

So it seems we are becoming more and more a welfare state. Even Clinton got rid of some of the welfare while he was president, but our Socialist in Chief, soon to be armed with a filibuster proof majority, is determined to pay off all of his constituency with other peoples money, so lets look at this a bit.

He said time and again that he was giving a tax break to 95% of America during the campaign. Of course, the problem with this only about 60% of America actually pays the taxes, so this is a direct payment to the voters that pay no taxes from those that do. It’s a bribe. Vote for me, I pay you.

The Welfare Mom pumping out kids to get more and more in payments for their vote is soon to be back. She’s like the Blob, she never goes away, just hides for awhile, until the conditions are right to come out and feed again.

Well, conditions are perfect now. I saw a sign that said, Obama says he will pay my mortgage, provide me with food, and give me job training….What the heck do I want with a job!

That about sums it up. As more people get on welfare to subsist, more people will vote Democrat because those nasty Republicans want you to actually work for a living for yourself.

Yesterday, a lady told me something that inspired me to write this blog posting, she said people on welfare should have to pass random drug screenings just the same as most employers require these days.

Wow. The libertarian in me says, no, no more government requirements for anything, but the justicar in me says, right on!

If I am forced to take these tests to gain employment and then keep it, why shouldn’t those on the public dole prove they aren’t using my tax money to pay for their illegal drugs. Besides, wouldn’t we want to know if their kids are being subjected to illegal drug use?

I think it’s brilliant and easily implementable and just makes common sense. So my libertarian side loses on this one, but I understand if you repel from it.

I think those on the public dole should likewise be required to fill out x amount of job applications a month to get their checks also, but I would be happy just with the drug testing.

This will never happen, it’s simply my jaunt into fairyland where everything is good and makes sense, but wouldn’t it be nice? Wouldn’t it?

 

Cheers!

Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Taliban

One thing out of many wrong things that George Bush did during his Presidency, was not get Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban while he could in western Pakistan.

When we had them on the run after their quick collapse in Afghanistan, we could have wiped them out, if we would have followed them into Pakistan’s tribal region.

We did the diplomatically expedient thing and stopped and honored their sovereignty. We have made minor incursions, and used drones to kill a few Taliban, but no truly meaningful attacks to get OBL or his Taliban henchmen.

Why? We didn’t honor Afghan sovereignty by going after them. We went in there, because those were the people responsible for 9/11 and we were going to get them. When they fled to Pakistan, we should have given Pakistan 10 minutes to send in their troops, and then we should have went in when the answer was no or there was no response.

If Pakistan wasn’t going to help us get those responsible for 9/11 then to heck with Pakistan. Yes, I know they have nukes and there would be a chance they would try to use them on us. Poppycock. As long as we only had ground forces in their tribal regions, they wouldn’t have done squat, except scream to the UN. Secretly, they would have loved us to have eliminated their tribal problem.

The thought at the time was Musharraf was too unstable in Pakistan to risk alienating his population, and we needed him as a leader in the region. There are many reasons why this was bad thinking on the Bush Administrations part, not the least of which is evidenced by the fact that Musharraf was ousted anyway.

The world would have said we shouldn’t, but so soon after 9/11 they wouldn’t have hollered too much. We could have gone in, taken OBL et al out, and got out.

Today, we are left with the aftermath of not having the testicular fortitude that would have taken. We have OBL and the Taliban alive and well, with the Taliban increasing it’s influence in Pakistan daily.

We have a President with at best no stomach for a fight, and at worst, Muslim sympathies that isn’t going to do a darn thing about that region, but shake hands.

In the last two days in Pakistan, the Taliban has raided Christian homes and executed two Christians that would not convert to Islam, and executed a man and woman that had been allegedly caught committing adultery. The video of the execution is on the internet, I didn’t post a link to it, but it’s easy to find, if you must see it. To say it’s disturbing is not giving it justice. It was cold blooded in the casualness that the executioner carried out his task of killing this man and woman as they tried to run for their lives. He then was told they weren’t dead, so he calmly walked up to them and riddled their bodies with more bullets.

Word is the Taliban is making a push to rule Pakistan. So we have traded their rule in a poor rather insignificant country like Afghanistan, and possibly given them a nuclear power in Pakistan, not a good trade. On Let’s Make a Deal it would have been taking door #3 and getting the old jalopy, instead of the ‘vette behind door #2.

Obama will not deal with this problem. He will glad hand and apologize and bow down to the Muslim leaders there. He will kill a few Taliban with drone aimed missiles, and appease the UN with sorrowful condemnations of the “people that came before” him, and nothing will be done.

Hopefully, the Pakistani people themselves will see the horror that awaits them if the Taliban comes to power and they will not allow it. I’m not too hopeful about that though….are you?

 

Cheers!

I Hate Hate Crimes

Here’s a very interesting short article that’s kind of gone under the radar.

House Loves Hate Crimes

This got me to thinking about where we are heading as a country with all of this hate crime stuff.

It seems to be labeled a hate crime, it has to be a crime committed against a favored constituency of the liberals in Congress, and must be committed by someone that is not a favored constituency of the liberals in Congress.

So a crime against a black person (vote 90% Democrat) is a hate crime, if it’s committed by a white person. However, if the exact same crime is committed upon the exact same person but by another black person, it’s not a hate crime.

If a homosexual (vote around 90% Democrat) has a crime perpetrated upon them by another homosexual then it’s just an ordinary crime, but if it’s perpetrated by a WASP, then watch out girlfriend.

Jews (vote 70+% Democrat) are protected, as are a myriad of other special interest groups that the liberals love, but if the same crime happens to a white guy, well he deserved it.

Now let’s talk about Christian beliefs and how they are NOT protected. Christians are one of the last groups that it’s ok to discriminate against. Example after example of it is ever increasing in our less and less Godly world.

The world hates Christians just as much as the homosexual lobby or the Muslims or the atheists or the communists or Jeanine Garofalo.

The hate crimes bill’s that are being passed around the world aren’t designed to protect minority type groups, they are designed to muzzle dissent.

Congress knows the laws on the books are plenty good to protect all persons, not just these special interest groups, but they want to silence the opposition to these special interest groups and keep a solid voting block in their pockets.

Soon when a Christian reads from the Bible, they will be arrested, and no one will care. In fact, the crowds will cheer the arrest of the hatemonger Christians.

We are easy prey for liberals. We have to profess our beliefs, or be labeled a hypocrite, and when we do, we will be labeled haters and freaks.

What will happen after they finish with muzzling Christians? Who will be next on the liberal hit parade? They won’t stop with just Christians.

The Minutemen and their closed borders agenda maybe? After all, they will be seen as hate speakers for not wanting to allow any and all people across our borders.

Maybe private property owners? Why do you hate people by wanting to own land only for yourself?

We, as Christians need to get off of our keesters and stop the madness at our doorsteps. If those that profess Christ can’t stop the stampede, no one can.

 

Cheers!

 

PS – Remember Matt 24:9 – … and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

Closer and closer.

Britain Ups Tax Rate to 50% for the Top…wait for it….1% of Tax Payers!

Here’s the obligatory link (short article worth perusing):

Britain Hates That Top 1% Too

Two things stick out in the article:

1. …as Britain seeks to claw back lost tax revenue…

How can tax revenue be lost? They mean people paid less than the government spent. So instead of the government tightening it’s belt, the citizens of Britain will have to tighten theirs, or at least that 1% will. There is no way the British government is going to give less to a huge voting block. No, it’s more more more for the poor! Now go vote for us!

2. In order to help pay for additional support for people now…

Socialism at it’s finest. We are increasing support for those that have less and funding it from those that have more. Sorry chaps, hope you don’t mind, but we win votes this way. Since you are just 1% of the population you can’t hurt us, if we lose your votes, so Cheerio!

The saddest part of this for me, is this is where we are heading. Well, it’s where we are, just to a lesser degree. The world’s Democracies have discovered they garner votes with other people’s money. Those other people are a smaller voting block, hence no biggie if they get ticked, and no one has the rich guys back, except the few other rich guys. It’s as easy as taking candy from a millionaire.

 

Cheers!

Flaming Judge Flames Miss California

By now, you have heard about the infamous question and answer and obligatory outrage from every liberal in the country. How dare this girl speak such hate and vitriol! How dare her speak truth to her religious beliefs! She is like all Christians, they just hate homosexuals, and want them to be second class citizens! And on, and on.

It’s all been argued so much, I’m not sure why I’m writing about it, except that I have a few things to say on the subject. So here it goes. I’m not going to proselytize, but it might sound that way.

I am a Christian and believe in the infallible truth of the Bible. The Bible steps on toes. It holds no punches. It says the truth of the universe, you can accept it or not, it doesn’t change it. God isn’t going to lose sleep over whether any of us believe him and his word or not. Yet, he sent his Son down to die for each of us individually, because he loves us greater than we can ever love him back. He is a just God and cannot abide sin. He loves you enough to allow you to choose Hell over Heaven.

Here’s where it gets tricky and we lose people. Over the last few decades, several of the world’s Christian denominations have started this morally relevant type of Christianity that says basically if you are good person, God will not deny Heaven from you, regardless of whatever else you may do. More and more Bibles are being re-written to exclude the word homosexual so as not to sound condemning, the word is replaced with a generic sexual immorality.

This is a lie straight from Hell, and goes toward this girl’s answer. Do the people that support same-sex marriage love homosexuals more, or do Christians that truly believe they will go to Hell if they continue in their sins? Forget whether you agree with the Christian or not, it’s immaterial. The fact is WE believe it.

If Carrie Prejean, Miss California USA, truly believes that a homosexual lifestyle is a sin to the God she claims to serve, saying anything less would have been truly hating homosexuals. I propose that those that encourage this lifestyle are the ones that truly hate homosexuals, because they don’t care about their eternal souls at all.

I don’t hate homosexuals. I’m certainly not physically scared of them. I hate the homosexual agenda and movement because I believe it is damning people to Hell. The more it influences young people to try it, the more people it condemns.

I Corinthians 6:9-10 : Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (Note that if God truly meant sexual immorality in place of homosexuality, God would have said sexual immorality twice in this verse. I don’t think so)

That’s quite a list there, and it’s a partial list of the things that will keep you from entering Heaven. As a Christian, I hate each of those sins, yet I don’t hate people that do those things.

I know people that have committed sexual immorality, idolatry, adultery, stolen things, been greedy, are drunkards, slanderers, and probably swindlers, and lastly, I’ve known homosexuals (I can’t say I’ve known a male prostitute).

I don’t hate any of those people, but I fear for their souls because of their sin.

The difference in homosexuality and these other sins is not that homosexuality is worse, but it’s that they have a very aggressive agenda that is trying to convert people to their way of life, or at least, shut those up that speak out about their agenda. If an agenda was formed around swindlers, say the Swindlers are People Too Campaign, I would react exactly the same by condemning it as unhealthy spiritually, but there isn’t such a group. Well, Congress doesn’t count.

The homosexual agenda is anathema to we Christians. It is a battle line for the soul that we cannot allow to be crossed. Not only for the sakes of those in this sin, but for those not yet in it.

I have 12 children. By statistics that means 1 or 2 of my children will be homosexuals. I can’t bare the thought of losing 2 of my kids to the Devil. I pray for them, and I speak out against not just homosexuality, but over-sexuality, and promiscuity, and adultery, and a whole list of other things.

Sadly, I believe America is going the way of Europe and it will soon be illegal to speak out against the homosexual agenda without being fined or imprisoned as a hate speaker. Miss California got a small taste of things to come. We got to see where we are heading as a nation that every day moves further away from the God of the Bible, and toward the God of Belial.

As with most things in our Orwellian world, it is not we Christians that hate homosexuals, it is clearly the homosexuals who hate we Christians.

 

Cheers!

Obama Leaves the Door Open for Prosecution of Bush Officials

I say go for it! Prosecute away! Ok, wait a second before you throw me out of the sane people’s club. I haven’t lost my mind. Yes, I have a reason.

I believe the Bush official’s did nothing wrong by defending our country to the fullest extent possible. I also believe that a trial or hearing will be forced to allow testimony as to the extent that the Bush Administration actually did protect our country. That then can be juxtaposed to what Obama is currently doing, and I believe Obama will be found very lacking. I believe a trial or hearing can quickly be turned on Obama, and he and his cohorts will be the ones defending themselves.

It was not by accident that no more attacks happened in the USA on Bush’s watch. I promise, it wasn’t for lack of trying on the bad guys parts.

In fact, it came out today that one plot revealed by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was to have Asian Muslims fly a plane into the tallest building in Los Angeles. I wonder why Khalid told us that information. Do you think he just felt like fessing up, maybe he had become best buds with one of his interrogators, or maybe he thought he was about to be drowned by water boarding? Answer: Give me water boarding for $500, Alex.

Had Obama been the president, would we have found out and stopped this attack? Had the Democrat Congress been running the show would we have known? I doubt it. Even with as much charisma as Obama thinks he has, I doubt Khalid would have told him about it. He might have told him he has a nice jumper (terrorists are notorious liars), but that would have been about it.

My hope is that when it comes to light just how dangerous the world is, and just how much Bush protected us, that the adult part of the nation will cry out for more of the same from Obama. Obama will not be able to bring himself to do it. With the country knowing he is willingly endangering us, the tide just may turn on him, and his Jimmy Carter slide will start.

My prayer is this happens without an actual attack succeeding. I pray we can get rid of him and get an adult back in the White House in 2012 with no incidents.

The fact that this liberal witch hunt started to collect Republican scalps, may be what causes their downfall is too rich. I don’t really care about that though. I just want this country safe, as safe as it can be, and I don’t care if we have to water board, or caterpillar some terrorist to keep it safe.

I think most Americans will feel exactly the same.

 

Cheers!

Chavez, Ortega, and Other Third World Lightweights Go Easier on the USA Than Rev. Wright

It’s a sad day in socialism when Third World Penny Ante Little Dictators can’t slam on America as badly as our President’s own pastor can.

Such is the sad case at some penny ante little meeting of penny ante little socialists. The other sad thing is Obama is quickly running out of people he can apologize to for the mean place he’s forced to preside over.

Yes, the Apology Tour 2009 continues, but it’s fast losing steam. I believe his next stop is Chief Wagalaga of the Pimbatche tribe of central Ecuador. It seems we need to apologize to them for John Johnson. He was an American that got lost there in 1887 and had to cut down a tree for fire when he was stranded and hungry.

Will Americans stop at nothing?! Johnson has been tried in absentia, for the murder of the central Ecuadoran rain forest, by the Obama Justice Department and was found to be a boorish, egocentric, arrogant Christian American and sentenced to death, which he started serving immediately. Obama will formally apologize to Chief Wagalaga and give him Johnson’s skull to hang on his hut as a friendship gesture next Friday, oh and 75 billion dollars in rain forest damages.

After that it’s on to Antarctica to apologize to Happy Feet for America single handedly killing off the fish he and the other penguins need to survive.

Now back to the miserably pathetic drones of Latin America known as leaders. No really, in their countries they are actual leaders. That right there would normally disqualify them from any semblance of seriousness on the USA’s part, except for the fact that our leader is pretty much just like theirs now. Hopefully, our Constitution will prove stronger than those other countries’ have.

Chavez gave Obama a book about how America has raped Latin America for decades, or centuries, or eons, or however long it takes to get votes for themselves. The whole purpose of their diatribes are for riches and votes from their people. Blame the USA for their problems, and keep gutting their infrastructures for their own personal gain, while garnering votes for standing up to America.

It’s tried and true, and boring. Reverend Wright does the same thing. He slams on America, creates class envy, rakes in money from his followers, and garners votes for his candidates, like Obama. He’s even a socialist/communist like Chavez and Ortega, and Ob…well, you know.

Here are some questions:

Would Chavez have tried to give that book to Bush? I highly doubt it personally. Chavez knows he might have gotten b-slapped by Bush if he had tried that with him.

Would Bush have accepted it? Maybe, but I doubt it. Reference the b-slapping above.

Would any President have allowed that little maniac to have gotten away with that, except for Obama? Sure, Jimmy Carter. I doubt even Clinton would have accepted it. Reagan would not have accepted. He would have smiled, whispered in Chavez' ear, and sent money to Freedom Fighters to handle the problem. Boy, do I miss him.

Did 20 years of listening to Rev. Wright prepare Obama for what he heard at this meeting? You bet. He felt right (Wright) at home. They spoke his language. Anti-Americanese.

 

Cheers!

Who Should Get the Credit For Capt. Phillips’ Freedom?

 

Check out this article from World Net Daily:

World Net Daily Story About Phillips Rescue From Pirates

An interesting article. It says that Obama actually hindered the rescue by refusing to allow deadly force to be used early on, and the commanders in the water basically overrode him and did it anyway.

Let me wipe the shock off of my face.

I’m about as surprised by this as I was surprised that Clay Aiken was gay. Not much. Miniscule. Knock me over with a feather.

Obama wants to be loved. He is a narcissist of the highest order. The thought of the Somali’s disliking him is hard for him to take. Fellow Africans, Muslim Africans at that, might dislike him. He has to pretend that he ordered these poor downtrodden Somali children gunned down. For his political life’s sake, he has to pretend to be happy about what happened, and worse, he quite possibly believes America is at fault for the plight of these disenfranchised pirates in the first place. I know a lot of his followers believe that.

Scroll Down to the Pirates Story (Obama Pic)

Still thanks to brave warriors on the high seas, we got our Captain back, and Obama gets to claim credit for being overridden by his military. He can’t courts martial the commanders, they succeeded. I doubt Champaign was uncorked in the White House over the incident though. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall listening to him and Michelle talk about it. Somehow, I think their private conversation was much different from his public speech about it.

Now of course, I don’t truly know what he thinks about the incident. I can only conjecture from what I have witnessed from him so far, but I don’t think I’m too far off base. I’m sure he’s glad Captain Phillips got rescued. I’m also pretty sure he is unhappy that the pirates got taken out. No one likes people getting killed, but America was not to blame for their deaths. THEY WERE!

My hats off to the Bainbridge Commander and to the Navy SEAL Team Leader that went with the open shot and took it. Saving the life of that brave Captain was worth risking Obama’s wrath. It’s a shame Obama didn’t see it the right way to begin with, but once more, not shocking. In the end, the Captain is free, Obama gets credit, the bad guys get dead, and America shows it’s still the baddest boy on the block. Three out of four aint bad.

 

Cheers!

A Republic Falls the First Time a Communist Wins

Whether it’s a free and fair election, or a coupe, or some other way of coming in to power, the first time a communist wins a countries highest office, he plans on being in office from that point forward (if not himself, his proxies).

George Washington freely gave up the Presidency of the United States, and went back to Mount Vernon of his own volition. He is the complete antithesis of socialists/communists and is my favorite President.

His European contemporaries were flabbergasted that a man with that much power would freely relinquish it, but he did. In so doing, he set the stage for every President after him to have to do the same. I admire John Adams, but had he been the first President I wonder how different our country might have become. Thank God (and I mean the real God) Washington won that first election.

George Washington and most of our Founder’s were uncommonly great men. Let me repeat that, as time passes and we watch the politics of the world, including our own, we see just how fortunate we were to have these UNCOMMONLY great men as our Founder’s.

It’s a small man that only thinks about himself. Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Minh, Pol Pot, Castro, Chavez, Ortega, and on and on.

These men preach how they are only helping the little people, but they are really only about their own wealth, their own fame, and their own power.

Chavez tried a coupe to take power of Venezuela in 1992. It failed miserably. Had Chavez himself been the President of Venezuela he would have had himself shot, end of story. The then President put him in jail for a whole two years. He got out, and became President in 1998, just 6 years after his coupe attempt. He has been President ever since.

He immediately changed everything. He changed the constitution, the legislative branch, the judiciary, and much more. He consolidated power so that he could hold mock elections and keep winning for the rest of his life. Term limits? Eh, just change ‘em. Free Media? Eh, just arrest ‘em.

Daniel Ortega was the President of Nicaragua. He was eventually ousted (Thanks to Reagan’s aid), and should never have seen the light of day again for his crimes. Instead, he is NOW the President again! And just as before, he is consolidating power right out of the Third World Communist Leader’s Handbook. It will be almost impossible to get him out again.

Republic’s are too fair with communists and communists know it. They know they aren’t going to be that fair to the Republics for which they say they serve. For a Republic to survive, it has to rely on the Republicanism of it’s elected officials in each and every election. For a communist country to be born, the communists only have to win one election, one time.

Where are we as a country in all of this? Do we have a great man at the helm? Or do we have one of these small men?

 

Cheers!

McCain’s Top Advisor is Over the Top on Same-Sex Marriage

Let’s start with the link:

Fox Story on Steve Schmidt

It seems Mr. Schmidt (Steve Schmidt, former top advisor to John McCain) believes the Republican Party is in danger of becoming a “religious party”, if they continue to oppose same-sex  marriage. Oh perish the thought!

That is so much bilge it would sink the Titanic, if the Titanic were still floating. It’s so much hot air that I might actually start believing in man-made, or at least Steve Schmidt made, Global Warming. It’s silliness cubed.

This comes from a man that must be fairly intelligent and ambitious to get to the heights he has attained, either that or he kisses backside like a champ!

Why would he pick same-sex marriage I wonder? Hmm, why not abortion, that’s a “religious” stance also, and much bigger. Oh, his SISTER is a lesbian! Could it be that he’s picking same-sex marriage because of his family? Why no, of course not, he would say.

As time passes since the election, almost daily it is confirmed that McCain was only a marginally better candidate than the wanna-be communist we have in the White House now.

McCain’s daughter is showing her mug anywhere and everywhere a free lunch is given out, and now this buffoon that was almost advising a President opens his mouth and inserts his beltway punditry to chastise middle America.

The truth is between McCain and the communist we as conservative Christians had very few good choices. Of course, McCain would have been better than this free fall into socialism that we have now, but not significantly better.

Let’s hope we can keep the media from picking our next candidate and we can actually get someone that we can believe in.

 

Cheers!

Good Times at the Oklahoma City TEA Party

Greetings Everyone, just getting home and wanted to post some pictures from the TEA Party. It was crowded. We had to walk about a mile to get there, we were late, but still got to soak it all in.

A police officer said they estimated the crowd at around 3,000, but more people were still streaming in, so I think it went to around 3,500-4,000 easily. Who knows for sure, I’m not going to get hung up on numbers. Let’s just say it was a lot of people.

They were good wholesome folks there, like you would find in any town in America. Lots of veterans, business types, moms and children, and an occasional ne’r do well like me. :)

The speeches were ok, nothing great, but I enjoyed the grassroots feel, as opposed to some polished politicians. The crowd chanted “Vote Them All Out!” several times, it was the running theme. Best sign, “God only takes 10%” (didn’t get a picture of it, my wife saw it). Second best, “Congress is Constitutionally Illiterate” (I would add so are the executive and judicial branches).

The ending was a Top Ten list of things we can do as citizens. After each item, the crowd would shout, “Yes, We Can!” mimicking Obama’s mantra from the campaign. If this can take hold across the country, we really CAN make some significant changes and hopefully fight back this wave of socialism from spreading any further.

An elderly veteran of the 1st Infantry Division told me he hoped all of the folks there would fill the breach and actually have each others backs. “If we can do that,” he said. “We can get back the country I fought for.”

Fill the breach folks! Get each other’s backs! Take back our country from those that hate it!

Here are the pictures:

 Our liberal Democrat Governor and Lt. Governor Couldn’t make it for some reason

 Sign reads, President Obama – 79% of America IS a Christian Nation (I’m sure Homeland Security is checking this guy out)

 A speaker in a nice American Flag shirt. Wow, he wasn’t burning the flag. In fact, no one castigated our Country, everyone spoke of their love for the Country. At a liberal protest, I wonder if you hear much of that. Not so much, I’m thinking.

 We were on the far west side of things, this was a crowd shot from our side of probably no more than 10% of the crowd.

 Nothing to do with the protest, just wanted to show our Capitol Building. Indulge me.

 More of the crowd. Notice the sinister looks of the unruly mobs! Oh wait, this was a protest by the adults of the Country, not the liberal children. Carry On.

 I just loved this picture. This elderly gent is helping his grandson fix his Uncle Same hat, as he holds his American Flag lovingly. I wish I would have gotten the grandson in the picture, but maybe it’s for the best. Homeland Security would be after the kid if they had a picture of him.

 Flags! The speech-ifying was happening up on those steps. The yellow flags were “Don’t Tread on Me” ones.

 Saw several versions of this sign being carried by youngsters from 7-8 year old range, up to college age. They were all homemade and different, not like Obama rally “homemade” signs that were made by a sign company and passed out at his rallies.

 This was a mother and her children holding signs. She was very vocal about the fact that this is a Republic and not a Democracy. Every time a speaker said something about our Democracy, she would shout it isn’t one. Good for her!

 A gent dressed as Thomas Jefferson with his quote, “A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have”. The ladies sign is more blunt, “Pay Your Own Bills”.

 Tea Party shirts were everywhere, but this one was a nice one. Note the Army veteran behind her. There were veterans wearing their hats everywhere. It always amazes me how those that have served our Country get it.

 Sign, “Don’t spread my wealth, spread my work ethic”

Sign, “Who voted to spend YOUR MONEY on the $700,000,000,000 Bailout? WE DID, Tom Coburn, Tom Cole, Mary Fallin, Dan Boren, John Sullivan” (I’m deeply disappointed in Tom Coburn over this). This proves that this was not just a Republican Rally though. Both sides are held in equal disgust right now.

 

 

 Sign, “Obama’s Tax Laws Enslave Everyone”, and a “Don’t Tread on Me” Flag.

 

 Finally as we were leaving we saw these signs held up by a mom and her children. They say, from left to right, “Debtor $60T.”, “Time to Flip This House”, “Bankrupt 2010 AD”, and “Stop The Spending”.

 

Once more it was great fun, and a very important civic lesson. Hope you enjoy the pictures. If you have any comments, or questions let me know.

 

Cheers!

It Fit’s to a Tea….Party

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m going to the Tea Party in Oklahoma City tomorrow. It should be fun, if my back holds out. If not, it will be excruciating fun. Either way is OK with me.

I was asked if I am taking a sign. I didn’t make any, so no, I’m not taking a sign. Which should distinguish me from the liberal infiltrators, I suppose.

What’s up with that anyway? Why do liberals feel the need to try and interfere with things they don’t agree with? With extremely rare exceptions, conservatives tend to let liberals do what they want, when it comes to protests, speeches, etc. Yet, when it is conservatives doing the protesting, speech-ifying, etc. the liberals can’t stand it, and must make their presence known.

I don’t get it. Don’t they believe in free speech and free assembly? When a communist gives a speech on a college campus, no one says a thing, except “here’s my paper, Professor.” But when a conservative comes to campus, they throw pies, try to yell over the speaker, and do whatever they can to disrupt them.

When an organization is liberal, conservatives avoid it. Yet, when a conservative group tries to assemble, liberals try to join so they can disrupt things, and eventually take over the organization.

Now, when liberals protest, conservatives might attend, but they stand on the other side and counter-protest. Liberals can’t do that, they want to infiltrate in order to disrupt or make the conservatives look bad. Once more, why?

Well, it’s actually very simple and I’ve stated it before. Conservatives tend to behave in a grown up manner, liberals not so much. They throw tantrums. All of the things I’ve just described are adult tantrums.

I don’t like you so I’m going to shout over you! Sound familiar from childhood?

Tomorrow it will be hard to tell who are the conservatives and who are the liberals…not really. Just look at who are acting like children, and who are behaving like grown ups. It will actually be very easy to tell.

It’s just a shame that most of those that will be reporting on it are the children themselves.

 

Cheers!

So There’s this Pirate, a Ships Captain, and a President: Stop Me if You’ve Heard This One

First off, my prayers are with the Captain and his family. He sounds like a very brave man and I hope this thing turns out well for him. He deserves it. He deserves a better President than he has in charge.

I wonder why the pirates felt like now for the first time in history, we can attack an American ship? Coincidence? I think not. Weakness is a characteristic that tyrants can smell from a mile away.

Russia, China, North Korea, Venezuela, and these freaking Somali pirates can all smell it from the Obama Administration. What they didn’t count on were American merchant sailors not being like their leader. The American sailors kicked some pirate booty, and the brave Captain offered himself as a hostage to protect his crew.

I cannot imagine being that guy. He has my utmost respect. Oh, did I mention the pirates are Muslims? No? Well, they are. The religion of peace strikes again.

Anyway we steam a destroyer to the scene, and I’m thinking this will be over about ten minutes after the destroyer gets there. The pirates will be forced to surrender or be sent to see their 72 virgins post haste. But no, that hasn’t happened. And now the pirates are sending reinforcements out to their guys!

Has the world gone completely insane?! I know our Navy is quite capable of taking these guys out, so why haven’t they yet? It has to be because they have been given orders from higher ups to not do so. Wiping out a bunch of bad guy Muslims might look bad to Obama’s people…I mean to the Muslim world, hehe. Obama’s people are we Americans,of course, I get confused.

If we can’t be done with a lifeboat of pirates quickly, I wonder how we are going to be able to deal seriously with Russia and China. Unfortunately, I don’t think we’re sitting very pretty for anything those countries might do. Oh, we will go to the UN, where those two have veto power, and they will veto any sanctions against themselves for anything they do wrong. Obama and Clinton will be good with it, since that’s where all decisions are made, in the UN.

So here we sit, waiting for our brave ships Captain to be freed. I hope for his sake by this time next year, we aren’t still waiting. I remember the days being counted off during the Iran hostage crisis. I remember Obama just twiddling his thumbs in the Oval Office…Oh, I mean Carter, sorry, I get those two mixed up.

If I were the Balkan States, Poland, and the rest of the old Eastern Blok I’d be more than a little concerned that this guy is in the White House. Canada might want to consider getting that military back in shape. Drop the beer bottles, and grab a rifle Canadians, eh. We may not have yours or anyone else's backs much longer.

Check out the advances communism made in the 1970’s when Carter was the President. Russia misses the good old days, and Islam is the new advancing politics du jour trying to take over the free world. I’m sure Barrack Hussein Obama won’t allow tha…Barrack…HUSSEIN…nah, he won’t allow that…will he?

 

Cheers!

The Congressional Black Caucus Takes a Field Trip

Maybe you heard about it. It seems the Congressional Black Caucus (from this point forward known as the CBC because that other was too long to type over and over) went on a class field trip to Havana and just by chance ran into Fidel Castro.

Castro was totally unaware of them, and it was just a chance random encounter by a comunista real and some comunista falso’s, nothing big. The field trip had stopped for ice cream and just bumped in to ol’ Fidel as he was out on his daily trip of taking meals to the widows and orphans of Havana.

They were so excited to see him, and find out he’s just an ordinary guy, a pal, a comrade, a …. No? We can’t use that word? OK, edit please….

They were so excited to see him, and find out he’s just an ordinary guy, a pal, a friend, and survivor. Why little Bobby Rush even said he was a survivor. I think he meant he survived that mean evil country’s sanctions against his beautiful, wonderful fairyland of freedom, but I’m not sure.

It seems Bobby and the other children that visited Havana find America to be the oppressor state while Cuba is free and happy and gay. Oh and kind ol’ Fidel lives in a modest house and just gives everything to his adoring people. Whereas, evil Americans keep what they have only for themselves. It’s just not fair!

The CBC kids noticed people in rafts heading out to sea, and asked Fidel where they were going. He said they were his emissaries to the USA. He sends them to tell the US government and people how great Cuba is, but when they get to America they are forced to tell lies about Cuba and poor ol’ Fidel. They asked him why his soldiers were shooting at the rafts, and kind ol’ Fidel explained that his soldiers were shooting the sharks around the rafts to protect the emissaries.

Next the CBC kids went to church. Ol’ Fidel didn’t go with them, he had already been so many times this week, his knees were sore. The CBC kids enjoyed the church very much and thought how remarkably God and Fidel resemble each other. They asked Fidel about that, and he explained that he has been such a pious man of meager means his whole life that God had honored him by using his likeness. The CBC kids were so happy to hear this, they asked if they could take those images back to America with them, to pray to them there. He gladly gave them some.

Finally, the CBC kids had to say goodbye to their new bestest friend in the whole wide world, ol’ Fidel. They were sad, and didn’t want to leave. He encouraged them and said cheer up. In a few more years with Obama, you are going to have everything that we have here, comrades! No? Oh yeah I forgot. Edit that….

Cheers!

Secular America: Obama Reveals His Wishes, Not Our Reality

When I heard Obama say we are not a Christian nation, I got angry, probably like most of you. It also was a little shocking to actually hear someone say it. Why did Obama say it? What purpose does he believe he is serving by announcing this to the world?

I think it’s safe to say that this first overseas trip by Obama has been a nightmare for those of us on the political right. Obama is proving to be every bit as radical as we feared he might be. He is every bit the globalist and anti-American that we tried to portray him as BEFORE the election. The media did a great job of covering for him and making the right seem hysterical in its pronouncements.

He’s already apologized numerous times to numerous countries for numerous perceived wrongs that America has done to those countries in the past. So once more, why bring religion into it?

Obama claims to be a Christian, but is he? A lot of people will quote, “judge not lest ye be judged” (the actual verse is Matt. 7:1 "Do not judge, or you too will be judged.", a sinners favorite Bible verse), as a way of silencing opposition to whatever they are currently promoting. So we dare not judge whether Obama is a Christian as he proclaims. Well, the Bible also says in Matt. 10:33 “but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.”

Hmm, “We are not a Christian nation”, so says Obama to a group of men, hmm, denial of Christ before men, hmm. Once more, why would a Christian man like Obama deny this country is Christian?

Well of course, he means we aren’t a theocracy, and we aren’t. But no one has ever claimed that we are. Why deny something that no one thinks? It’s like saying “I didn’t steal from you” to someone you just met. The person is going to immediately be suspicious and wonder what you stole.

The truth is he said this to appease the Muslim audience he was addressing, and to continue his narcissistic desire to be loved by the world. The truth also is that we were founded as, and up until recently have maintained ourselves, as a country based on Judeo-Christian ethics. So Obama didn’t lie, but he did try and imply something to the Turks that wasn’t exactly true either, and in so doing he spoke clearly to me, about his own theology.

Obama has been taught Islam, and now claims Christianity. He has had a diverse life for sure. What his true inner beliefs are, only he can answer, but we as Christians and Americans have the right to try and discern some of those beliefs for ourselves.

As I’ve stated in the past, Islam is easily proven a false religion. It’s not a sister to Judaism or Christianity as it claims, it’s the ravings of a lunatic mind. It’s as much political tome as religious doctrine. It’s beliefs are based on force. Force by killing those that refuse to submit to it’s will. It’s totally legalism, which is exactly the opposite of the salvation offered through Jesus Christ, hmm, opposite of Jesus? Hmm.

As an adult, Obama went to Jeremiah Wrights Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. I checked out their website, mission statements, Bible curriculum, and several other pages on their website. I found the words Jesus Christ 3 times, total. I found the word Christ 8 times. They claim “the God of our weary years”, which I discovered was from a poem written by James Weldon Johnson, and not from the Bible. Interestingly, I did find the word Black too many times to count, along with Black Community, Black Society, etc. The truth is in reading their website, you get the distinct feel that their mission is about their Blackness more so, than it is about their Savior.

Just to check it out, I looked at a local mega-church’s website. Their mission statement named Jesus Christ directly in 4 of the 16 statements, and says Christ in all 12 of the rest. There is nothing remotely political in any of the statements. No desires for an American theocracy, no classes on protesting abortion clinics, or anything else. It’s all about Jesus Christ, as it should be.

Islam and Trinity United are Obama’s religious experience. Hopefully, there were others more grounded in Christ than these two, but these are the two that seem to have been a part of his life for the longest.

Which brings me back around to my initial reaction, I was angry. After a few moments of thought though, I was just sad. I am sad for Barrack Hussein Obama. I am sad for our country. Of course, we have had non-Christians as President before, but none to my knowledge, have denied our countries heritage in Christianity before now. Sometimes, some things are bigger than politics. This is one of those things for me. I truly pray for Barrack Hussein Obama’s salvation or at least, his re-awakening in Christ. I believe he needs it. I believe we need it.

 

Cheers!
