90yr old CMOH winner under attack by idiots..
"Col. Van T. Barfoot, a local Medal of Honor winner, is under the gun from his Henrico County community's homeowner association.
In a five-paragraph letter to Barfoot that he received yesterday, Barfoot is being ordered to remove a flagpole from his yard. The decorated veteran of three wars, now 90 years old, raises the American flag every morning on the pole, then lowers and folds the flag at dusk each day in a three-corner military fashion.
In a priority mail letter, the Coates & Davenport law firm in Richmond is ordering Barfoot to remove the pole by 5 p.m. Friday or face "legal action being brought to enforce the Covenants and Restrictions against you." The letter states that Barfoot will be subject to paying all legal fees and costs in any successful legal proceeding pursued by the homeowner association's board"
wait it gets better...
"There is no provision in the community's rules expressly forbidding flagpoles, Barfoot's daughter said. But she said the board ruled against her father's fixture and ordered it removed in July, deciding that free-standing flag poles are not aesthetically appropriate. Short flag stands attached to porches dot the community."

*fingers drumming on the table*
This HERO served his country in 3 wars and he can't fly Old Glory on a pole in his front yard because all the sudden the HOA deems it "asthetically inappropriate"? WTF? I wonder how these people would like their chairs shoved up their fundaments sideways..without the benefit of lube.

NYC and the 9/11 5
What will happen if the 5 are convicted and put into general population as a man whose opinion I respect suggested? Will they be terrorized themselves or will they find fertile recruiting grounds to swell the ranks the 'faithful'?
This would give them another Vietnam to cry about. Ignoring the fact that we're 'winning. Another year or 2 and Iraq will stand on it's own two feet. With enough time and enough application of brute force and horrific death we can win in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Make no mistake, to actually win in Afghanistan and Pakistan now is going to be a hard bloody bitch. We have to fight because of the nukes that Pakistan possesses. If the radicals get a hold of those weapons they WILL use them. Doubt that not.
This war is also a war of ideals. In order for ours to survive the terrorists and their ideals have to be eradicated..it's that simple.You see under their ideals we'd be reduced to slavery..those of us that survived anyway. Most of us would be dead. The surviving men would be labor, our women would be used as whores and our children? Sold, to be raped and used as slave labor. The RIF's would turn the clock back 200,300, hell 400 years.
So ask yourself what kind of world you want to live in...and choose. Choose wisely. Choose better than our so called 'leaders and representatives' have.

I bloody well know we still need the rain and that we're still short for the year due to the drought....but damn. Actually we might be finally mostly caught up in that regard. I've got a bad feeling that this might be an exceptionally wet, miserable winter. Which means I need to get a better raincoat than that cheap poncho.

Swine Flu a "National Emergency"

Hummer sold to chinese company.
This boys and girls is part of what's wrong with America today. We are selling our factories lock, stock and both smoking barrels to foreign entities. Or to the governmetn..which falls under the heading of "Piss Poor Decision Making". Which means we don't own our own plants, etc anymore. Great the jobs stay in America, hoorah. I suspect however that this is going to come back and bite us in the ass one day..probably in the near future.
I believe it was a Japanese financial minister who said "If you don't want us to buy America, don't sell it." Sadly this is apparently a lesson we've failed to learn and take heed of.
Ahh I got my monitor back.
One wonders..
Man kills cop. there are multiple witnesses and evidence galore. Man is convicted and sentenced to death. 20 YEARS LATER..the bastard is STILL alive and the death sentence has been thrown out. They are going to retry the punishment phase of a trial 20yrs old, because the lawyers for the defense FINALLY found a fuck up on a technicality? I propose a new law. Now keep in mind I think something similar was proposed before but I don't remember if it passed..I don't think so.
1. If you get the death penalty you have 5yrs or 3 tries at an appeal. Which ever comes first. After your attempts are used up or time runs out..you go straight to the chamber within 48hrs. No more appeals, No Clemency.
2. If there are witnesses and ample evidence..you don't GET an appeal..sentence to be carried out within 10days. Especially if you are STUPID enough to kill a cop, in cold blood, in plain sight and... in front of witnesses!
Look I don't like ALL cops..I've run into more than my share of dipshits with a small dick, and a badge on a power trip. But Jesus Jumpin H Christ! Why is this bastard still alive?
Obama wins Noblel Peace Prize.
First thought upon hearing this news, this morning at 7am upon waking up? "You've GOT to be fucking kidding me!"
2nd thought? "You know? It's a good thing I haven't eaten yet, or I'd want to vomit it back up."
He didn't get it for DOING anything! He got it for the Hope and Promise he showed! *FACEPALM!*
Lord Give me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, the COURAGE to change the things I can, and the WISDOM to hide the bodies of those people I've had to kill because they pissed me off!

The stupidity inherent in articles like this is...frightening. Personally I think deportment to the US.and MAYBE jail. is to good for him. I'd suggest taking a page from Vlad the Impaler's playbook and staking the son of a bitch. Alas I don't think the agony would last anywhere near long enough.

Remember, Remember the 11th of September
Alas I think for all the talk a lot of people have forgotten. Lots more just don't give a shit. for all the rhetoric I think a lot of people didn't care in the first place. Was just a number, some statistics and another day to them. Kinda like my birthday is to me..just a number and another day.
Perfect example..we were filled with resolve afterwards of how we were going to rebuild the towers, even taller and stronger than the originals. then it was just ONE tower. the freedom tower. Oooops apparently someone was offended by the name FREEDOM tower. Like *I* give a shit? Now...we're gong to get a goddamn memorial. 8 years....8 MOTHERFUCKING YEARS! What have we got? A goddamn fountain/reflecting pool and a hole in the ground. THAT is a disgrace my friends, A DIShonor, to our honored dead.
We haven't been NASTY and PUGNACIOUS enough in persecuting the terrorists. No Pity, No Mercy and No Prisoners..except for intelligence gathering purposes then kill em. They are cockroaches. They're a disease, a blight, a boil on the ass of humanity. Now depending on which one of the metaphors I just mentioned, you favor...
They need to be stepped on, poisoned, cured, or lanced..with extreme prejudice. Its the only way this crap with the terrorists is going to end, so our dead can rest. And so we can live with complete peace of mind.

A thought.
Chivalry-I was/am involved in a conversation regarding this one, on another board. Chivalry [or what I call common courtesy] got put on death row by feminists, the rise in the crime rate and technology. Feminists are all 'I am woman here me roar!' and 'I don't need a man to do anything for me because anything a man can do *I* can do better' Try and be polite and you basically get told you're an a*****e. I was raised right so I'll still open doors, pull out seats, even offer my seat up to little old ladies and pregnant women on occasion. However if you're going to cop an attitude because I'm being polite then Kiss my fat hairy butt.
Technology- people don't want help...they've got cell phones..they don't NEED help from you when they can call the authorities. The fact that those authorities have better things to do like nailing drunk drivers, robbery suspects, homicide suspects, gangbangers, clearing accidents off the road; and finding lost and kidnapped children; never crosses their tiny little minds..
Crime- its flat out dangerous to offer help sometimes. There's a little thing called a honey trap. Pretty ladies on the roadside supposedly having trouble. You stop and then have a gun pulled on you and are robbed, and or murdered.
Half the young people coming up think they're OWED a payday whether they've earned it or not. God forbid they should give a good days work for a good days pay. Self reliance, honesty, personal responsibility, integrity, hard work..all these are concepts to ridicule according to the liberal philosophy. I think they're words and concepts to live by, to have a fruitful and meaningful life.
Sigh, I suspect that spiritually I'm what the young people and liberal morons would refer to as a dinosaur. Sadly most of our problems can be traced to the rise of liberalism in America.
We need to bring words like duty honor, integrity, self reliance etc back to the forefront of society, in order to save it To bring our old greatness back...which will as a direct effect lower the crime rates. . Without those concepts...we're just machines going through the motions.
[Edit10am 9/10/02...sorry it took so long. got sidetracked]
Now onto the punishment portion of our thoughtfulness.
The punishments must be embarrasing or painful enough that the lessons stick. When I say stick , I mean it's got to radiate through the criminal underworld and cause abject fear. For executions lets bring back Ol Sparky...that's the Electric Chair. Lets also bring back PUBLIC Hangings. I figure the latter especially will focus criminal minds quite wonderfully AWAY from crime. Might even scare some of the useless dipsticks onto the straight and narrow. "But, but...Curly that's inhumane!"
So! Like the crimes and atrocities that were committed by our death row reprobates, were humane? Why the hell should their deaths be any different in that regard than their victims? That is one thing I admire about the middle east cultures...the punishments while somewhat barbaric, are PUBLIC, messy, and immediately carried out; and an object lesson to the rest of the criminal class. We need to speed up the execution process. No sitting on Death Row for 10 or 20yrs getting all those appeals at the general expense of the public. Meanwhile we're also paying to clothe, feed, and house these useless bags of excrement. New law should be proposed. you get 3 appeal attempts, after that, you're immediately executed. Now that I've made my views known on the death penalty, lets move on.
Theft, robbery, assault and burglary, etc. These should all be punishable by hard labor. Road Gangs, picking up trash, doing charity work repairing exteriors of homes, fences, replacing mailboxes, etc. I'd also like to bring back Prison Farms in a big way. Let the bastards grow their own foodstuffs. Any excess gets sold at the local markets and the profits go to defray the costs of the care and housing of the reprobates. Or it can be canned for leaner times..either way..win win.
Rape..Rapists..like child molesters hold a special bit of contempt from me. In both cases its about power and the application of, not the sex. For the most part. for some it is about the sex because they don't want to pay for it, can't charm it out of women, and decide to take it. Either way...I'm still trying to decide on a fitting punishment in my eyes for that one.
Child Molesters. Easy enough..put them in the general prison populations. Their life expectancy is so low as to be non exsistant. For some reason hardened criminals seem to hold Molesters with a special kind of contempt and hatred. Don't know why that's so...just is.
Prostitution- Legalize it. Tax it. I've always thought criminalizing sex was stupid.
Well..that pretty much completes this entry. Until the next one.....
TANSTAAFL!

Constitutional Amendment proposals..
Amendment 29. forever hereafter No one will be allowed to hold a political office for more than 8yrs. As states right do apply per the constitution this amendment only affects the FEDERAL level of government.
- Therefore No President shall sit more than 2 consecutive terms in office. If a President is voted out after their first term of office they shall be barred from serving again for their lifetime at the federal level.
- Therefore No Senator shall serve more than one 6yr term. At the end of the 6yr term said senator shall be barred from running for or holding any political office at the federal level. With the exception of running for the office of president, if he wins see section A.
- Therefore No Representative shall serve more than 4 consecutive 2yr terms. After those 4 terms are up or if they are voted out before those 4 consecutive terms are run, they shall no longer be able to run for or hold any office at the federal level. Unless they run for Presidential office in which case see section A if they succeed in winning the election.
- Therefore after having served their terms, no President, Senator, or Representative shall have ANY position in the government such as appointees, Secretaries and Cabinet posts.

After those 10yrs have passed they shall return to private life and practice. They shall also be barred from running for office at the federal level for a time of not less than 10yrs.
[note: I'm thinking I may have to reword this one a wee bit..but we'll see]
Our ancestors went through the trials and tribulations of bloodshed to throw off the shackles of slavery; economic and otherwise, of a petty cruel tyrant from across the seas. We have no wish to have the shackles from the past be replaced on us by homegrown petty kinglets who have no interest in the welfare of the people. Petty kinglets whose only interest is in their own power, aggrandizement and enrichment. Petty kinglets who only notice the people when they look down to see what they're stepping on.

God, christians and..stupitidy
Now, I can remember the jist of of it but all the exact words are kind of blurry, 12+hrs and a 6pack of beer later.
Now this lass was being highly insulting telling some of the other players that they were going to go to hell. Not being able to stay out of a good verbal fight and being in a really wicked mood I decided to butt in.
I said something, don't remember exactly what and she responded with "oh dear god. a jim baker follower. you're doomed" Now don't ask me why she assumed this but she was about to discover the hard way, one of my favorite axioms. [Don't Assume..EVER. Its the mother of all fuck ups]
Me:"Jim Baker? The hypocrite? The man who couldn't keep his pants zipped and never met skirt he didn't want to lift? Riiiiigght. Guess again sweetpea."
Her: something along the lines of you're going to hell, blah blah blah, I hope you enjoy being gangraped in the after life. Blah blah blah. Pray you die before Charles Manson, blah blah blah.
ME: "ROFLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Ahhhh, virii and germs I give you man, the stupidest creature on the planet" I then said some other things I don't remember right now.
Her "God created man in HIS image. Are you saying god is stupid?"
Me "Yes, he IS."
She shut up at that point, sat herself out and until I left never heard from her again. Pity..I was looking forward to making her twist her panties in knots some more, in sheer impotent fury.
Now why on earth did I do this? Simple. I don't like self righteous hypocrites who go around telling everyone that they're going to hell when they die. That kind of 'I'm better than you because I'm a true believer or a born again' crap sets my teeth to grinding. Now if you believe in the bible you believe that God gave us a greater gift than he ever gave to any other creature. Freewill....okay and higher brain functions than any other animal on the planet. That alone convinces me he's not only capable of being; but has been more than once, at least as big a moron as any man, woman or child on the planet. Just for an example..No other creature on the planet besides man, [that we know of at the moment] feels GUILTY about doing whats necessary to survive and thrive. It just blows my mind some days.

Cui Bono? [Who Benefits?]
In all the blogs, news reports and discussions, there's been one question that hasn't been asked, nor answered about the very ambitious slate of legislation that the current administration is looking to pass - who's going to benefit from it all? The Cap and Trade bill, as it stands at 1300+ pages and counting is filled with extraneous additions - not just what the cap and trade is going to be, not just who has to participate, but it also includes provisions on how you must deal with your own home, how you may or may not sell your home, what you must do under this bill to reduce the carbon footprint...and every single item has a detrimental effect on the economy and therefore on everyone's life. Too many articles abound about the negative economic effect - hell, even the administration admits to a negative effect initially - and that, during the worst economic downturn since 1929. So - who benefits from this? Not our children, nor our grandchildren, nor their children - as they will be labouring to pay for this legislation. What about the Healthcare bill that the administration wants to pass? Who's going to benefit? The people who still can't afford the government plan because they earn too much for a subsidy but not enough to pay the government premium? Yet - the penalty built in will be equally as bad to that same family. Who, other than people who already qualify for Medicare/Medicaid will benefit from such a bill - one that will cost 3 years worth of GDP? Added to the Cap and Trade bill - that just puts another generation into debt? Where's the general benefit?
To say that none of this seems to be thought out is pointless. This has been thought out by the architects. The question is - what aren't they saying and who are the ultimate beneficiaries of these pieces of legislation? Anyone? Bueller?
Cheers!

Who Paid?
Something that caught my eye as I was looking into the educational background of the President....who paid the bills for his education? It wasn't him all by himself - the numbers say it was flatly impossible...I know - I'm the same age and I attended university at the same time he did. So - the Occidental College in California...where he went after graduation from high school. That's plausible enough - combination of scholarship and student aid - although his living expenses in CA compared to being at home in Hawaii would be something else. But...after two years, to transfer to Columbia in NYC? Where the hell did the money for that come from? Wasn't from student aid...that wouldn't have even begin to cover tuition. Scholarship? Possibly...but there's never been any mention of that one. Living expenses? We're talking NYC for goodness sake. Quite honestly - there's something that's not being said and that is...who does President Obama owe? Then, after graduation from Columbia...with a poli-sci degree....in an economic slump - he gets a job with a Think Tank? That, friends and neighbours, requires some pull. How does the kid of a single mom in Hawaii have the kind of muscle to get a position like that? Same holds true four years later when he goes off to Harvard Law - tutition alone would have been a years salary - where in the hell did all the money come from and who was the provider? I've yet to see that question answered...and only a few people have ever asked it that I'm aware of. So, what do you all think? Was it simple up by the bootstraps on the President's part or is there an unknown, unnamed benefactor(s) in the background that perhaps people need to be aware of? After all, knowing who the President is beholden to can make a difference in what decisions he makes.
Cheers!

Race and Crime in America
Not to put too fine a a point on it..YES YOU ASSSHOLE!
He should be grateful one of his neighbors gave enough of a damn to call the cops because he was breaking into his own house. Though the neighbors didn't see who he was at the time. WTF were the neighbors SUPPOSED to think? *facepalm*
Look at these stats from the DOJ from 76-05 anyone notice the trend?
So YES if a diproportionate amount of the crime being committed by a significantly minority portion of the population..guess what? Its NOT profiling ASSHATS...its just noticing the obvious and THAT is how the cat ate the canary! By the same token calling racial profiling, religious bigotry for arabs and muslims is a bunch of bullshit as well.
Now I haven't searched the DOJ site to see how much the stats have changed lately. I suspect they've changed somewhat with the HUGE influx of illegal aliens and the criminal elements there in.

How I Celebrated Earthday 2009
First I used my gas powered 5hp mower [oooh evil fossil fuels!] and cut the grass all the while listening to the yard screaming in abject terror and pain. I then took out the weed eater and added insult to injury by edging the yard and listening to the dirt and grass moved by it scream. I then fired up my leaf blower and blew it all either into the yard or out in the street. [pollute pollute pollute!..hehehehehehee] I then wasted water and actually washed *gasp!* my fathers car, followed by drying it and using unenvironmentaly friendly chemicals to clean the windows. After that was done. I fired up my 4burner propane grill and spent 2 glorious hours sending smoke into the sky burning wood chips...for added flavor..and environnmental terror...and listening to the sound of various vegetables and pieces of animal flesh sizzle as they hit the hot grill. Smelled the glorious smell of various bits of vegetable matter and flesh charring on the grill. Sent [as aforementioned] glorious billows of smoke up into the sky..thereby pleasing the fire AND sky gods.
What got murdered on the grill you ask?I hall tell you..
a couple of 1/3lb burger patties, 2lbs or thereabouts of chicken fajita, another 2lbs or thereabouts of steak fajita meat, a couple of ears of corn[left in the husk and soaked first], 2 zuchin,[covered with EVOO and sprinkled with various spices, a half an onion and 3 bell peppers done the same as the zuchini.
I will continue in this vein tonight[in about 35minutes as a matter of fact]
I'm doing a nice little roast [about 2lbs..dry rubbed with various and sundry things] and a couple baked[read grilled] potatoes. In about 10mins I will be turning on the flames and putting on the woodchips to start screaming in abject pain and terror. *evil chuckle* followed by the simpering and sizzling of said roast and potatoes.
Hmm seeing as how I have to take my evil fossil fueled SUV and go grocery shopping tomorrow.. I may be inspired to get enough meat and edible things, that I can keep it up all week....hmmmm..a nice slowcooked brisquet for dinner on Sunday sounds like a slamdunk grand finale I think..[nom nom nom]
Ahhh meat is murder..TASTY, TASTY murder. nom nom nom nom *evil chuckle*
Hmmm maybe I should have titled this entry how I infuriated the eco-freaks? *shrug* oh well..calling me politcally correct is like putting a telephone in an outhouse....I'll leave you wondering..What the Hell?
TTFN my friends

what the hell?
But then someone said something to thats got me to thinking..what if 'pissing people off' is exactly the desired effect of these "reports" What if they are being 'leaked' or released to get precisely that reaction. Is the government trying to provoke a violent reaction so they can clamp down completely and toss away the bill of rights and the constitution for 'the good and safety of the nation'?
Government controls, power and reach have been expanding more and more over the last couple of Decades. So is it just a conspiracy theory and I'm a nut for even wondering about it?
I honestly don't think I'm nuts. As to whether this 'conspiracy theory' is just that a theory being bandied about instead of reality..my jury is still out and at the moment is deadlocked.

Welcome to My Nightmare
January 2021 update. Well...I warned you. I warned you for more than a decade. Now here we are. The Republic? the great experiment in freedom of our founding fathers? Is officially DEAD. the power brokers and the dems openly stole not just the reelection of Trump...but the run offs in Georgia as well. Oh to be sure there were other thefts in the last decades. Franken in 04 and Sinema in AZ in 2018. Just two that I know of, off the top of my head. Where do we go from here? enslavement or the grave. At least the grave holds hope of freedom...of some sort. there won't be a country left. Certainly not the one I grew up in as a child or the ones my parents grew up in. My father would have blown a blood vessel and had an anuerysm at what was done in November. Lady Liberty has done had her skirt lifted and she's been violated bad. Same with Lady Justice. The Courts? the courts could have possibly saved this///but the courts turned their backs on Justice. So to did the United States Supreme Court. Justice in this land...is now officially..DEAD. It's been on the ropes for a while now as well. People have forgotten one of the overriding principles of the founding of this nation. We the People, not the representatives we elect...are the supreme law of the land and the arbiters of our own destinies. The people over the last 100yrs or more have given over more and more of their freedoms, in stupid acts of contrition to the very people who are supposed to represent us. Trump? Trump was the last gasp of the people to try and set this ship aright. We had it good for a few years. I had hopes. My failure, in the long run was to not take my own advice and prepare for the worst. I and my family are going to pay the price for my lack of will. So are we all. Can we fight? and by fight I mean a full blown civil war because that's the only way to 'fix' this for degrees of 'fixing'. Understand something. Even if we win, this will not be the United States of America anymore. Sure there might be a state or an alliance of states that adhere to the constitution...and those states might even succeed. But surrounding those states? Other failed states. Banana republics. You've bitched about what we've been doing in the ME for years? Well...can't hate you but...Welcome. We ARE the competing tribes now. I can hope that we make a few changes to the constitution, one of which is get rid of the 17th amendment which made elections to the senate as much a circus freak sideshow controlled by we the people as the House races are. The senate was supposed to and did for many a year, represent the STATE gov'ts and their point of view in this great experiment. With the 17th amendment...that check and balance on power was taken. We let ourselves over the course of decades, a century or more, be encumbered by laws with only one purpose...shackles on us, to revoke our freedoms. Frankly at this point, we ARE a 3rd world banana "republic" now. You don't believe me? Wait...the pogroms haven't really started in earnest yet. they will though. they will. Just as soon as that mentally addled idiot they just saddled us with as "President" Takes the oath. Trump as some others have stated needs to step down, take his family and go to an undisclosed location..Because they are going to destroy him..as an object lesson to the rest of us. Prep as best you can, in the ohhhh 2weeks, ...1 month at most, that we've got left. things are about to get as rough as a cob.

Immigration again. Remeber the Arizona Rancher?
The jury found the rancher not guilty of violating the civil rights of a bunch of a illegal alien..how nice considering this is AMERICA not mexcio. The same jury then turned around and found him guilty of assault and emotional distress. for WHAT? They were illegal aliens, crossing over the border into OUR country with out invite and using HIS land as a goddamn freeway. Sends a wonderful message to Americans...protect your land, life and property and we'll punish you. The profound lack of logic or intelligence in this verdict is appalling not to mention frightening. Be afraid my fellow citizens...be VERY afraid.

Freedom and Slavery
Alexander Hamilton
True words. As true today as back when Hamilton wrote them. Pres. Obama and the Dems would have you believe socialism is a paradise. That is a base canard..a lie of epic proportions. Socialism is nothing but slavery writ large. The citizens slaves, the ruling body the slave masters. Look back to history. No country, no experiment in socialism or communism has been anything BUT slavery. I give you Pol Pot..who in order to feed his slaves sent them out to farm..a concept for which none had a clue..as a result MILLIONS died. I give you China and the billion screaming chinamen..the dreaded yellow horde as they were once known. Their government in order to control a growing population of slaves have instituted draconian HIDEOUS measures. Abortion right up til birth....and even after the baby is born if it is a girl they will kill it. The old USSR..the Russian Bear....god only knows what the final tally is of death at their hands thru starvation and war and..accidents.
So as Pres. Obama and his supporters and minions work to move us towards slavery..I urge everyone..STAND UP. Do not go silent into that good night. Write, call..have face to face meetings and tell our 'supposed' representatives NO MORE. Choose freedom over slavery..otherwise I deem you unfit to wear the mantle 'free man' and therefore unworthy of saving.
I don't want to think of what may..hell probably WILL happen if the politicians in Washington DC and elsewhere fail to listen to the people instead of the lobbyists.
Sheriff Arpaio to congress...
"House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers (D-Mich.) told CNSNews.com he is going to invite Maricopa County (Ariz.) Sheriff Joe Arpaio to testify in his committee about alleged abuses by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office in its enforcement of U.S. immigration laws. But a spokeswoman for Arpaio told CNSNews.com that the sheriff -- who has not yet received an official invitation to testify -- currently has ''no intention'' of appearing"

Hispanic Dems want immigration reform
"Hispanic Democrats will have their first West Wing meeting with President Obama on Wednesday morning to discuss immigration reform, according to Democratic sources.
The meeting is the first face-to-face sit-down between Obama and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) since the president was sworn-in. Some in the CHC have recently expressed frustration that Obama has not talked more about immigration in his first two months in office."
Well sorry hispanic dems..the Messiah has been a little bit busy spnding money like its water.
"CHC is eager to hear the president’s ideas and proposals for tackling immigration reform, not only as it relates to a comprehensive reform bill that could provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented workers but also as it relates to rolling back Bush administration policies of raiding workplaces and detaining and deporting thousands of illegal workers"
I don't see a problem with the policy at all. The illegals don't belong here. They came in without visas, without right to work documents, a lot of them are picked up as "day laborers" in front of various centers and home improvement stores by crew bosses and business owners that figure 'hey we can pay em off the books and if they get hurt it doesn't matter because they're illegal"
Whats even better is that they don't have to pay taxes on the payroll for the illegals since they're off the books, which means the illegals are paid in cash.
"The group has made the raids and their human cost the new focus of its immigration reform push, although a comprehensive reform bill remains very much a priority for them, and one that they are encouraging Obama to push. Hispanic Democrats are continuing their nationwide tour of cities where raids have been conducted to drum up public support for curtailing the practice. During an event on the rout in San Francisco earlier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called the raids “un-American" and spoke out on the need for comprehensive immigration reform."
Frankly I don't see it as "Un-american" to protect our interests. Aside from the "day laborers' do you have ANY idea how many of the illegals in this country are drug traffickers and criminals? Its mindblowing. I was watching the news yesterday and they interviewed a county sheriff down near the mexico border. All but ONE of the people in his jail cells were illegal aliens. What does THAT tell you about the problem with illegal immigrants and hence the problem with mexico.
Here's the link so you can read the rest of the article about the Dems on the hill.

Qoute of the Day
"Guaranteed Jobs??" Did anyone point out that, that SLAVES are also "guaranteed" a job....doesn't mean I want to BE one.."
--GWheelock
The 912 Project and We Surround Them
I've heard from one of the members of the local group that there is a company that reads the emails, and letters we send to DC to our representatives and senators. They then put you down as a tick mark on a chart as to what your supporting/nonsupporting bill wise or what your beliefs are, or what your upset or happy about. I'm not saying don't send them letters if you want to..I'm suggesting[also spoken by a member of my local meeting] phone calls and personal face to face meetings with them.
Now on to the ideas. Glenn said start around the kitchen table and he's right in that respect. Start with dinners with your neighbors, bbq's, just sitting or standing in the front yard chatting with a neighbor. Print business cards with the 9values and 12principles on them. Go to the Heritage Foundations website and order copies of the Pocket Constitution....http://www.askheritage.org/Premium.aspx
there's a link to buy mulitiple copies and pass them out. Talk to friends an fellow citizen's at your local tavern, at the park, at your kids various sporting events etc. Pool your groups resources and buy the Pocket Constitutions in huge bulk quantities for that matter and give them out to your neighbors. Put them in your neighbors mailboxes. If you don't have the money for that..just use your computer and printer and paper. Print the 9-12 on one side with the 912website URL and your local We Surround Them groups URL. On the other side print the words [or something similar] 'Do You believe in any, most or all of whats printed on this sheet? Then stand up for your beliefs.' Or simply 'For my neighbors..' And again put them in your neighbors mailboxes.. Again these are just ideas..you don't HAVE to do it the way I suggest. Me..I may do some of what I suggest in the near future but for now..I blog. I'll do posts on government wastes, stupidity and outrages..local in some cases, state or federal in others. I'll also start posting once or twice a week [I haven't quite worked out how I want to schedule it in my head] Qoutes and passages from the founding fathers. From the Constitution, from the Federalist Papers, from Common Sense, Rights of Man and others written by Thomas Paine and quite probably from the book that I'm reading right now by T.J. Stiles "The American Revolution: First Person Accounts by the Men Who Shaped Our Nation" It was given to me in the last week by a friend..so it may be hard for you guys to find..it was published in 1999. :) According to the cover it was originally published as [under the title of] In Their Own Words:Founding Fathers
Oh, aside from the suggestions I've made; you can also make or have made your own Tshirts, Polo shirts, Jackets and hats. [borrowed from a new member of my local group :)] thats a way to get the message out there and by wearing them, your wearing conversation starters. We can get people who haven't heard of the We Surround Them/912 Project; because I doubt the MSM aka Main Stream Media [or as I call them the Main Sewage or Massively Stupid Media] is going to give this much airplay or print coverage.
Okay, I'm giving myself carpal tunnel here so I've got to break off for now.
Good Luck and God Bless America.
LA.. and Illegals aka day laborers
How do you equate day laborers with illegal immigrants you ask? Uhmmm because the bulk of them ARE illegal immigrants. They do the day labor because they get paid under the table in cash and the people who hire them don't have to pay benefits, or taxes on them.
from the article:
The Los Angeles City Council has recently approved an ordinance that requires all new home improvement stores in their jurisdiction to construct day laborer centers on their private property as a prerequisite for a business license. The stores will be required to provide shelter, drinking water, bathrooms, and trash cans for any and all day laborers who happen upon the company’s property. The city reasons that day laborers are causing too many problems along the streets and, since home improvement stores have become the favorite hangout of day laborers, the private businesses should be the ones to deal with it. Problems often associated with day laborers include the “swarming” of vehicles in the middle of roadways as the laborers seek work, public urination, public drunkenness, the antagonizing of patrons (e.g. catcalls), and basic loitering. The author of the ordinance describes these as “public safety and quality of life issues.”
Here's a novel concept..round them up and send them back to Mexico! Its not rocket science.
Here's the link for the article...I'm to pissed to write a civil and sane sounding entry at the moment:

Gov't going after farmers again.
http://www.redstate.com/moe_lane/2009/03/14/democrats-in-congress-poised-to-wipe-out-organic-food-industry/
Notice I said their going after the small farmer "again". Why do I say this? Well I'll tell you, because back in the early 80's the government suggested small farmers go big or don't show up for the party. If the small farmer opted to listen to the government they got the government telling them or trying to tell them..where to plant, what to plant, and when to plant..like the farmers didn't know that better than the government idiots who sat on their fat asses in the capital somewhere smoking a cigar, drinking an alcholic beverage, while getting blown by a crack whore...all at taxpayer expense I might add. The farmer also had the government telling them they need to buy all these tracts of land and all this expensive ass new equipment to work it with. The insidious part of this is..when the farmers said "are you fucking nuts we can't afford this?" The gov't responded by saying 'no problem we will give you lowcost federal loans and subsidies to pay for it up front and then you can pay us back later.' *headdesk, headdesk headdesk*
Let me point out something to you reader if you haven't put it together yourself yet..the farmer wouldn't have NEEDED all that expensive equipment if the goddamn government hadn't stuck its nose in a place it doesn't belong! Why did they stick it there..so that the big farm combines aka corporate run farms could make a better profit when the little guys dropped out.
Now their at it again creating a Food Safety Admin, another government entitity we don't need since we already have one. Maybe you've heard of it? Its called the Food and Drug Admin or the FDA for short. A bureau by the way, that Obama is going to give more money and power to.
How is creating the FSA going after Organic farmers? One of its primary jobs will be to monitor and suggest improvements to those farmers and REGULATE them...., for the health of the general population of course since we the people are too stupid to take care of ourselves.
Call your congress twits boys and girls, if you have the wherewithal to do it go and get a meeting with them live and in living color. Tell them to Knock. It. Off. and kill this proposed Administration before it has a chance to get off the ground.

Our Government..our problem..
A SMALL government which had no more power over us than we CHOSE to give it. It was a time of Self Reliance, personal responsibility, mutual respect, and for lack of a better term..moral fiber.
Now fast foward 200+years. We have a government that has grown larger than the founding fathers could ever have dreamed..but which they very well may have forseen.
We now have a government that spends money it doesn't even HAVE..but since they own the presses, "well..hey its free money we'll just print more." while devaluing the dollar. A government that imposes ever higher taxes, ever more restrictive laws, laws aimed at disarming the American Public. Laws aimed at making us no better than slaves. A government that has swelled so with power, that it doesn't SEE the American People unless it looks down to see what its stepping on. It's a new Aristocracy run amuck. Our economy is a wreck, our education system a disaster, our justice system become a joke; and hordes of people have become too dependent on the government, because thats what the government has taught them. I've been unemployed for years, mostly by choice...but I have never taken one thin dime from the Government.
We have become 'multi cultural' where we were once 'the melting pot'. Where we were once A PEOPLE, we are now a PEOPLES divided. A bunch of hyphenated peoples. Proud to be... African-american, Asian-american, Mexican-american...what the HELL ever happened to plain old 'Proud To Be American'? If you want to be AFRICAN..good luck and have fun. Africa is about 8,000 miles in THAT [points] direction. Look, I'm not saying don't be proud of your cultural heritage..hell I'm of Irish/German descent. I constantly joke that I got my too profound love of a good beer from both sides of my family's past. Or joke that with my heritage is it any wonder my temper is as nasty as it can be. But I do NOT let it define me. I'm an AMERICAN..pure, plain and simple. That is what I'm PROUD to be.
It is in part this multicultural crap that divides us.
Who is to blame for this? The Government? In part yes..the rest of the blame falls squarely to us. We through the greed and connivance of some, and the inaction of others have given too much power to our government. What hasn't been given has been taken. Its time to stop.
I could keep going and going but, I'll leave you with this final thought...
Its time to be PROUD to be American again. To teach that to our children and our childrens children. Time to take back our government from the bureaucrats, the lobbyists, the power brokers, the power hungry, the politicians and the aristocrat wannabes. Its time to put Pride, Respect, Self Respect, Self Reliance, and Personal Responsiblity back into the mainstream of thinking and the way we, and our government does things.
Obama insults our allies
snipped from the story:
"It is well understood that visiting diplomatic delegations come bearing gifts and gift giving is returned in like fashion by the host country. It is an ages old human practice in diplomacy after all. Usually the gifts are valuable, representative of the products of the nations involved, or at least symbolic of the history of those nations.
For his part, PM Brown gave two symbolic gifts and one that expressed national pride. Brown came bearing a pen holder carved from the timbers of the sister ship of that which gave the wood to create the famous "Resolute Desk," the desk that has been in America's charge since 1880. He also gave Obama the framed commission for that famous ship, the HMS Resolute. His third gift was a seven-volume biography of one of England's greatest leaders, Winston Churchill.
So, what did President Obama give the British PM? 25 movies on DVD. Yeah, that's it. Brown gives a symbolic gift like the pen holder fashioned from a famous British warship and Obama responds by sending a staffer to WalMart to pick up a few quick movies.
How thoughtful. Or not."
Inconcievable! However it gets worse....
What may not be widely publicized is Brown is blind in one eye and only has about 30% of his other. He's also not a fan of movies. *headdesk*
Snipped from the article:
"Not to be out done in tastelessness by her husband, Michelle got into the act, too. Mrs. Brown came bearing two outfits for the Obama girls from Topshop, one of Britain's trendiest and expensive women's wear retail outlets.In return, Michelle apparently had a staffer run down to the White House gift shop and grab two toy Marine One helicopter models for the Brown's boys.
Class all the way, huh?"
Un-FUCKING-believable.
http://whitehouse.merchantcart.net/mainshopping.cfm?icg_id=10&showsku_ID=434&Show=PURCHASEMore snippage
"All of this is on top of the snub of the Brits that Obama tossed off immediately upon entering office. One of his first official acts was to summarily return to the Brits the generous gift of the most famous bust of Winston Churchill that has sat in the Oval Office since the attacks on 9/11."None of this seems to have been covered by the Main Stream Media in the U.S. Now THERE'S a shock.

California being stupid again.
The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia is going after big screen tv's. Why? They say the goal is to force manufacturers to drop the energy usage[or on the flipside of the same equation up energy efficiency] by 30% in all tv's sold starting by the year 2011 and 50% by 2013.
Now by the same token, the SAME article mentions that several of the big TV/electronics manufacturers debuted TV's at this years CES, that are more energy efficient..probably not as high yet as the percentage wanted by Kalifornia but its getting there. If people WANT more energy efficient TV's by choice they'll BUY them; thereby forcing all other manufacturers to either start doing the same themselves or go out of business. Thats what a free market economy is all about..aint it grand?
Oh and if Kalifornia is so worried about being green and energy usage..I have a suggestion for them.
You idiots already have rolling brownouts consistently losing power to different areas in succession. Novel idea..BUILD MORE POWER PLANTS ASSHOLES! Now having said that, in the spirit of being green, build tidal plants and solar farms.
Once you get the tidal plants built, and up and running; its basically free energy because the waves and tides are ALWAYS moving. There's an old saying..the ocean never sleeps.
Onto the solar farms..you've got HOW many square miles of desert in death valley? Build a solar panel farm out there, and again because it almost never rains in cali..tons of energy to be had...idiots.
*facepalm* Oh almost forgot..in the same vein..there's NO excuse for California and other coastal states not to have enuff fresh drinking water. NONE. Build desalinization plants boneheads. Perhaps its escaped your notice that the rock we live on is 75% WATER?
sheesh

America in Decline
You wonder perhaps "But Wolf, how can you say that?"
Well good readers I shall tell you. Lets look at this:
The very first thing Obama and the Democrat controlled congress rammed thru was an almost Trillion dollar spending bill. He has now rammed thru ANOTHER spending bill to the tune of almost half a trillion dollars, that is our governments spending budget for just the next 7months. Think about that, over $400 BILLION dollars to run our new democrat controlled government for just SEVEN MONTHS! He has also committed to spending [I heard/read this somewhere..forget exactly where] some $2 TRILLION dollars to buying back toxic loans and backing other loans. Obama is now asking for a $634[or was it 643?] billion dollar reserve budget to kick off his socialized medicine plan. Plus their going to spend ANOTHE, around $300billion for the "Mortgage Crisis". Now by MY math that adds up to some $5TRILLION in spending that he's committed to and its only been a MONTH since he took office and the Democrat party took complete control of the House and Senate This is Obama's idea of a fiscally responsible government? I'm not gonna bother with the links for the previous financial stuff..if you haven't been paying attention to the news then you've been living under a rock.
Wait it gets worse:
Congress is voting to on a bill, an amendment that gives the District of Columbia a seat in the House of Representatives..something that is against the constitution by the way. They are also voting in the same bill to permantly increase the House from 435 seats to 437. Its a power grab boys and girls..plain and simple.
http://www.rollcall.com/news/32564-1.html
Obama and Congress are also planning to re-instate the Assault Weapons Ban.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6960824&page=1
They will no doubt expand it to include ALL semi automatic weapons..including pistols. They are going after that which guarantees our freedoms from Tyranny....weapons. Our constitutional right to bear arms [and the governments fear of it] has been the one thing that has kept the goverment in line. Now they seek to take that away. A population that doesn't have the weapons to fight with will have a VERY difficult time[if not impossible] throwing off the yokes of a dictatorship.
The Democrat congress is seeking to reinstate the "Fairness Doctrine" Also currently known as the "Hush Rush" bill. It has only one purpose..to for all intents and purposes silence the voices of dissent on the radio networks. The Mainstream Media [TV and Newspapers] is owned lock, stock and both smoking barrels by the the liberal left. The MSM has been the propaganda mouthpiece of the left, telling us what we're supposed to think, for some 50yrs or more. The Radio airwaves have been owned pretty much by the conservatives. There are liberal radio hosts but they are few and far between when compared to the number of conservative radio hosts. Something that happened when Reagan killed the original fairness doctrine in the 80's allowing conservatives to speak their minds freely. Granted the Messiah has said he opposes it but I don't believe him.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/02/12/dems-consider-reviving-fairness-doctrine/
If none of this worries anyone..than those that it DOESN'T worry are beyond help. Those of us it does worry have a chance to stop at best or reverse later at worst this, this...anti american monstrosity. Unfortunately I'm coming to believe that reversal will come at the point of many guns and a shitload of bloodshed.
Think on it people. I have..more and more lately; and it scares the hell out of me.

WhiteHouse orders DoD gag order
"The Obama administration has directed defense officials to sign a pledge stating they will not share 2010 budget data with individuals outside the federal government.
In an undated non-disclosure agreement obtained by Defense News, the administration tells defense officials that "strict confidentiality" must be practiced to ensure a "successful" and "proper" 2010 defense budget process."
Ladies and Gentlemen may I suggest that you find a hole and stock it with all you'll need to survive? If you can't do that stock up on Weapons, ammo and food supplies? This gag order doesn't bode well. It reeks of 2 possibilities..that either the Obama Administration is going to gut the DoD, IOw our military. Or.....it means the administration is going to up the budget astronomically for purposes they don't want us to know about. Its the latter possibilities that give me the screamin willies.

The trouble with Mexico.
It's a theme I've hit upon before but..*shrug* what the hell..lets cover it in a more thoughtful way. Mexico has become a violent nasty place. Controlled by the Drug Cartels..they've bought off politicians, military officers and personel and cops,; lock stock and both smoking barrels. What's the solution? Well the most extreme solution would be to glass the country over and have done with it.
I think there's a slightly less extreme solution..2 of them..both very similar. One is to do as some have suggested, just wall off the entire border. Pack it with multiple roving troop patrols, minefields, pillboxes, armed predator drones running racetrack patterns and ground cameras. There will be breaks in the wall..gates where traffic can flow through for trade. Its going to be ugly because one of the limitations on that gate I propose is to have every vehicle coming thru the gate FROM Mexico is to be searched, by dogs,people and machines for weapons, explosives and drugs..oh and people. As for travel TO Mexico.... considering the violent state of Mexico now; I'd not recommend anyone going over there for tourism at the moment. OTOH if you REALLY want to visit..hey its your ass, you were warned, don't come crying to me. I need to think some more on that one..I may drop some portion of this or add to it or both.
The other option is to go in with troops on the ground, invade and hunt down the cartels..I won't pretend this will be easy or quick but is the more logical to me of these two options. If it shoots at one of ours..it dies, if it waves a gun in our direction even vaguely it dies. Those known to be in the employ of the cartels die. We root out the cartels, prop up the gov't after we've killed enuff of them to sufficiently cow them, and suggest ways in which the government just MIGHT put its people to work, thereby helping their economy to boot. There's the petroleum company to work for.[although I'd bet some of them to be in the employ of the cartels]
There are, I have no doubt; going to be trials and tribulations, but maybe if we can change the way things are run down there and rid them of the cartels and their flunkies we might actually have an ally thats worth something. I'm still trying to flesh out in my own mind alot of things about this idea.
Trans Sec LaHood contemplates milage tax.
"Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood says he wants to consider taxing motorists based on how many miles they drive rather than how much gasoline they burn -- an idea that has angered drivers in some states where it has been proposed."
Sure Ray...not. Think about this..I can almost guarantee that we'll end up paying MORE this way. If you think it'll have a salutory affect on gas prices...I think you're probably wrong. But here's more in the same vein out of the same article
"A tentative plan in Massachusetts to use GPS chips in vehicles to charge motorists by the mile has drawn complaints from drivers who say it's an Orwellian intrusion by government into the lives of citizens. Other motorists say it eliminates an incentive to drive more fuel-efficient cars since gas guzzlers will be taxed at the same rate as fuel sippers."
Oh good all vehicles will be spiderwired and required to be so? Uhhh No Thanx. The State of MassiveChewedShit can go to hell. Does anyone else besides me see where this can lead to? 1984 anyone? V for Vendatta anyone? Demoliton Man anyone? Government control is what any and all proposals like this invariably lead to. Government control leads to less freedom for the average person. Which leads to a permanent ruling class and a permant ruled class of serfs. Do we REALLY want to turn to a form of rule our ancestors shed blood to keep it from enslaving the rest of the world? Worse yet, a form of government that even Vladimir Putin says is a colossal waste of time, people and money? I borrow the following qouted material from a friends blog...and thank dracphelan for posting it.
Vladimir Putin gave a warning to the USA about socialism.
Russian Prime Minister Vladamir Putin has said the US should take a lesson from the pages of Russian history and not exercise “excessive intervention in economic activity and blind faith in the state’s omnipotence”.
“In the 20th century, the Soviet Union made the state’s role absolute,” Putin said during a speech at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “In the long run, this made the Soviet economy totally uncompetitive. This lesson cost us dearly. I am sure nobody wants to see it repeated.”
Sounding more like Barry Goldwater than the former head of the KGB, Putin said, “Nor should we turn a blind eye to the fact that the spirit of free enterprise, including the principle of personal responsibility of businesspeople, investors, and shareholders for their decisions, is being eroded in the last few months. There is no reason to believe that we can achieve better results by shifting responsibility onto the state.”
Putin also cautioned the US against using military Keynesianism to lift its economy out of recession, saying, “in the longer run, militarization won’t solve the problem but will rather quell it temporarily. What it will do is squeeze huge financial and other resources from the economy instead of finding better and wiser uses for them.” Putin’s comments come in sharp contrast to Russia’s own military buildup and expansion.
