New York Congress Critter threatens reporter with violence

Got to love politicians.. Okay no you don't. I hate them with a purple passion.

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/national_world&id=9411405


Okay you threaten a reporter on CAMERA!  Just how stupid do you have to be to do this? Okay granted...as I've pointed out I loathe 4th estate and it's members with a ferocity that is frightening to witness. I hate the PPM with a passion, I'll admit.  If it weren't so stupid for a politician to do this...I might actually be cheering this pol on. Might actually be sitting there chanting "toss him! toss him! toss him now!"

However...this reporters question was absolutely a legitimate question to ask. it's the kind of question they are supposed to ask of politicians that have been caught in some kind of fiscal hanky panky or penile patty cakes infidelity or what have you.  To threaten this reporter, and on camera no less...was a stupid and criminal act.  Or is that criminally stupid? Bah...doesn't matter how you phrase it. Grimm is a stupid fuck. The Governor should yank Grimm out of his seat or suggest his constituents recall  his dumb ass; and then
A. The reporter needs to press criminal charges
B. This boil on the ass of humanity needs to be prosecuted
C. hold a special election or what ever is done in that particular state...to fill his vacant seat.

I don't know, neither do I care whether Grimm is a D or an R. Nor do I give a flying fuck. He needs to be gotten rid of and he's a visible symptom, concrete evidence,  of just how out of control our government on all levels have gotten. How entitled those pols feel, and just how out of touch with reality, let alone their constituents...they are. And and...And....


Jesus Christ did I just defend a reporter?  Someone check and see if hell has frozen over because,  me defending a reporter?  'Tis truly a day of days. Good grief...I wonder is someone spiked my food today when I wasn't looking...

*thinks about it*

Mmmmm nope..I cooked all my own food today, as per usual. So nope...no one spiked anything. Maybe there is something in the air..I don't know.


Sigh guess we'll just chalk this up to me hating the government more than I loathe the 4th estate and leave it at that.

Remember TANSTAAFL and....

I now return you to your regularly scheduled inanity and insanity.

Why do people REFUSE to understand?

I just. Don't. Get. It.    Every day government on all levels is encroaching further and further into our lives.  Story  in Houston today..
people think this is a good thing?

I just don't get it. Various writers have been writing tales of warning about too much government encroachment, or the pitfalls of falling under a totalitarian/communist/socialist government.  some of these stories were even required reading in school. 1984 by George Orwell

These and others. Even today we have warnings in writing  of the future under the "benevolent" rule of these dystopian utopias.  Now I don't like most of these stories.  Many of them are just too much angsty teenage crap in them  with the dystopic fucked up world as  nothing but a backdrop instead of the real story..but.. 
Hunger Games in which your kids are taken and put into a 'last man standing, to the death' gladiatorial games that is broadcast all over the place for the amusement of those in power and the brain washed and CONTROLLED masses.

There are other stories those are just two you'll recognize though due to them being made into movies. Hell! One of my favorite movies is about a dystopian liberal/progressive/democrat utopia.  Demolition Man. Ring a bell?  A world in which every facet of your life is controlled by a central authority. Everyone is brainwashed. Well most everyone except those who live, quite literally, underground..  Salt, caffeine, cigarettes, fat? Hell..MEAT?!  Unhealthy therefore illegal. Hell there's only ONE restaurant and that's Taco Bell.  Although not the Taco Hell many of us know and love, or know and hate as the case may be.  Sex? Forget it, sex leads to disease and chaos; and as noted in the movie...for a cigarette, a beer or a desire to raid the fridge.  Can't have that.  So you have to go to a licensed doctor who'll determine whether you're compatible, extract your semen[or in the case of the ladies the eggs] genetically purify them, then combine them in a lab..  I honestly don't remember at the moment whether the ladies were artificially  inseminated at that point or whether the zygote was put in a test tube to be popped out of an incubator 9 months later. Either way...beam me  up scotty.

Look,  when the hell are the sheep among you going to wake up and realize that instead of putting sheep dogs into the various government positions; you've by and large  put the WOLVES in power over you? You keep reelecting the same assholes. Over and over again. Note there are some sheepdogs in the power structure but the wolves are winning.  Taking more control over your lives with nary a "baa aaa aaaaa" of discontent out of most of you.  Me? I'm not exactly a sheep dog, not sheep either. I'm barking and growling in the hopes of getting your attention and making you think, come out of your complacency.  Frankly with all the ignorant, unschooled, flat out ILLITERATE comments I witness on posts on face book...I sometimes wonder why I bother.  Because those of you who support this shit are willful participants in your own enslavement and slaughter. Why? Why? WHY Goddammit?!!!

Do you people crave the slave chains?!  Is it fear?   Okay...fear, I can understand that.  Fear can be crippling. It can also be a powerful motivator in making yourself smarter, faster and more dangerous than those that would make slaves out of you,  or sheep fit only for slaughter.  Is it an unwillingness to take responsibility for your own lives and decisions?   Hmmm that one right there I think is many of you among the sheep.

Bah! I'm done ranting for the moment about this. I've said most of this shit repeatedly over the years.

Let's chat about immigration reform.

Let's have an open, BLUNT discussion about immigration and our southern border. Where in case you didn't notice from my intro, I happen to live. Now..Obama had a closed door session today. A meeting about immigration reform. He invited people who were 'stakeholders' those who have a vested interest in finding a workable solid solution. 1st we'll look at who he DIDN'T invite. He didn't invite any, not a single one..of the border Governors. Brewer, Perry etc. Guess we on the southern border are too reactionary and don't REALLY have a vested interest in a solution. After all..we're only on the FRONT LINES OF THE GODDAMN FIGHT! Here's a few links of those killed by illegal aliens.

http://ppjg.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/arizona-rancher-shot-and-killed-by-illegal-immigrant/

Now lets just look at some of the people he thinks have are STAKEHOLDERS and have a vested interest shall we?
Michael Bloomberg-Mayor of NYC. Supporter of Amnesty and Obama Crony. Doesn't like Az Governor Jan Brewer much so he's got an axe to grind.
Richard Trumpka- Head of AFL-CIO union which is a major Obama backer. Financial and otherwise.
Arnold Schwarznegger- Washed up actor, abysmal failure of a governor and a man who married into the Kennedy Clan....that alone is enough for me to consider his judgement suspect.
Rev Al Sharpton- Obama Supporter and race baiting assbag
Julian Castro-Currently Mayor of San Antonio- liberal democrat and I believe amnesty supporter
Charles H. Ramsey- Former Police Commision of D.C. and Current Commish of Philadelphia. While commisioner in D.C. he instituted Traffic 'Checkpoints' which alas information of motorists were breaking no laws were entered into a central database. He in Philly installed lots of cameras in high crime areas which I can't exactly hate him for really.
Another invitee that was listed was a name I can't think of right now. Saw it on Greta tonight. guy who got his ass and his companies ass nailed to the wall during a major ICE raid in which they got bagged for hiring illegal immigrants.

What is your idea for immigration reform and securing our southern borders?

EDIT4/20/11
Okay boys and girls it's dawned on me that I MIGHT need to post what I think...for all you new people who are just finding my little slice of sanity on the web. Now..bare in mind before you get all judgmental..if you don't live in one of the border state or one of the states nearby..you don't get to judge me for my reaction and solution to the border crisis because YOUR ass is somewhere more than a thousand miles away....and you don't get to see it like those of us here do.
Now..lets talk. Obama and those on the Democrat side of the aisle SAY they want to reform the Immigration process. Streamline it. Make it faster. That's all well and good because like any other agency run by the government I have no doubt there's waste and stupidity in the system that can be weeded out. The other thing they espouse is amnesty. Amnesty for anywhere between 12-20 MILLION people who broke our laws and continue to do so. Many of whom were criminals to begin with before they EVER crossed our border. Drunks, Drug Dealers, Thieves,Pimps, prostitutes[okay them I can forgive, because they likely weren't give a choice by their pimps] and Gangbangers. I actually probably could have just left out all the other vices and just said Gangbangers because the gangs are into or do all of those rackets and more.

My question, and the question asked by countless others including LEGAL Immigrants who went through the system and got "green cards" as resident aliens or renounced their previous citizen ships[it's part of the oath they swear at their citizenship ceremony.] and became US citizens; is this: WHY should those who broke the law be REWARDED for breaking and continuing to break that law? And the many of the legal immigrants I know ask "why the hell should they get for free, what WE had to learn and earn?" Good question isn't it? Why indeed?

Now Obama and the Democrats will give you all sorts of Noble and touchy feely, feel good reasons for why. I'll give you 3 reasons why that are nowhere near that touchy feely and are the REAL reasons why. LULAC, LaRaza and the 2012 election. Obama's approval is in the toilet. He pissed off the conservative side of the aisle from the get go. We flat out don't trust him as far as we can throw him. he's given us good reason not to. Obama never had our support and approval. We on the conservative side of the aisle feel he goes to far..waaaay too far. Those on the lef on the other hand..his democratic liberal base..feel he hasn't gone far ENOUGH in his policies. LULAC and La Raza brought him a lot of the Hispanic vote in the 08 election with his promise to get amnesty for illegals already here and to change the way the system works. He hasn't done so. He's been pushing on other issues. Notably Health Care, Energy, GREEN energy and what not; as well as Gays in the Military and other issues. The groups La Raza and LULAC are understandably pissed at him for not delivering on that promise and have flat out told him they're not going to support him if he doesn't get his shit together and deliver on his promise to THEM.

Obama's Disapproval rating as of this morning was 50%. Which makes ME happy. since the higher his DISapproval rating the more likely the Conservatives will get back the white house. The trick of course will be to hold onto the majority in the house gained in the 2010 elections and expand on the gains in the senate from the 2010 elections. Obama has also told the Federal authorities on the border to not make arrests of illegals as they cross the border. THAT one was all OVER the news yesterday.

It's not the first time it's happened either. It happened several years ago:
www.washingtontimes.com/news/.../20050513-122032-5055r/


Now..with this coming down the pike it's a pretty big indicator that Obama is going to TRY to follow through with is promises to LULAC and La Raza and other Hispanic groups. I don't know how successful he'll be with Republicans in control of the House.

The other side of this issue is Border Security. Without it we might as well not even call ourselves a Sovereign Nation anymore. Why? Because we [or rather the feds] are not enforcing their own laws on immigration. I have a solution to this but no one and mean no one is going to like it. Our Southerne border with Mexico is an open running sore. Illegal Immigrants flood across the border in wholesale lots every day. A lot of them acting as one time drug mules for the cartels to get an escort across the border by the drug cartels soldiers. This in not acceptable by any measure or stretch of the imagination. What is need as far as I'm concerned is to put troops on the border.

This is in actuality an undeclared war. An invasion. It's time to treat it like one. Time to pull up the welcome mat. 50,000-75,000 troops, running from Brownville Texas on the Gulf of Mexico up the Rio Grande to say near Sanderson, Tx. From there they run along the border towns up to El Paso. From there along the border through New Mexico, Arizona to Yuma, Arizona. From there the line forks. Straight across from Yuma to San Diego and up the Colorado River to the Hoover Dam. Roving intersecting patrols. You support those troops with Predator Drones. Air Force and ANG Air Patrols. It's time for the navy to go into riverine operations again. Run old fashion PT boats, using hydro jets for propulsion instead of propellers. High speed, shallow draft. After we have patrols established and the troops equipment in place their Rules of Engagement are simple. If it comes across the border at any point other than a border check point..kill it, annihilate it, destroy it, blow it the fuck up, make it cease to be.
"but..but..where are going to get the money to pay for all this when everyone is calling for cuts everywhere?" Well..people want to bring troops home.? Lets do so. The Europeans have depended on us for far to long to guard their backsides. Let them guard their own. pull all those troops and their equipment home. they are by and large the first to whine and cry warmonger when another war breaks out and we have to act. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all. the long the short and the tall. I'd say stay in Japan. The Iraqi's are supposedly ready to take care of themselves. Bring the boys home from Iraq. Anyone we have left over there comes home. Afghanistan? Nuke it til its a flat, glowing pile of glass and have done with it. Pakistan? Take out the leader ship, seize and take or blow in place their nuclear arsenal and then just leave. They'll revert to their natural tribalism crap and kill each other in wholse sale job lots. but at least they won't have the nukes anymore....which is quite frankly the MAIN reason we went into Pakistan in the first place. Seriously? Islamic Fundamentalists with nukes? *shudder* Other than that we're going to get into a much broader discussion. Yes children this is going to cost money. but freedom and safety do NOT come free. How many times do I have to tell you TANSTAAFL. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, before it finally resonates?

"Your solution is overly violent and belligerent." Well geez there's a statement of the MASSIVELY obvious. Force does no good if you don't apply it. We on the border have been screaming at the idiots in DC for 20 mother fucking years or more to do a better job of securing the border. Fences, increase the size of the border patrol, roving intersecting team border patrols, more open rules of engagement for those border patrol agents etc. What have we gotten? Bullshit, innuendo, overly emotional feely touchy arguments, lies and the run around. We are no longer at a point where those things we've been screaming for, for more than 20yrs, will have a salutory effect. It's come too far and the situation has gotten too bad for them to be worth a damn. Especially with the various drug cartels coming across our borders with impugnity. Killing our law enforcement officers. Killing, kidnapping, raping and torturing our citizens. Destroying our property And all the with the connivance of the Mexican Government. Mordida has been the law of the land over there since long before I was born. We can no longer afford PASSIVE solutions. If you don't like it, I REALLY don't give a shit!

If the U.S, government hadn't given us hand wringing, hanky stomping platitudes and bullshit and had put actual concrete solutions in place 20yrs or more ago? Then perhaps it wouldn't be this bad now would it? Then there'd be no need for my "overly violent and belligerent" solution. At this point however it's the only viable one that will bring us any peace. If you kill enough of them, truck the bodies back over the river in dump trucks and dump them on their doorsteps the Mexican Government and the Cartels and those streaming across the border will get the point eventually. Or you can use the bodies for sandbags *shrug* because the cartels in particular aren't going to like my solution very much.

with friends like this[poor dogs]

who the hell needs enemies. I don't know about needing enemies but I think the supposed friend who did this to a serving soldier and the pets that soldier entrusted to his care..needs a very thorough beating.

http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-national/soldier-s-dogs-surrendered-to-az-shelter-public-help-needed-to-facilitate-a-reunion

I have nothing but high praise for the Boulders Falls Pet Resort who took these dogs in, for free I might add, til we could find out the soldiers name, and assure him that his dogs were fine.

What's worse is the 'friend' refuses to give the soldiers name. Which makes me lean more towards killing the bastard outright than beating him into the intensive care unit. Un -fucking-believable

Edit 745pm:
you know the more I think on this the more this whole thing stinks to high heaven. Makes me wonder if there ever was a soldier. If the dogs actually belong to the guy that gave them to the shelter he was just too ashamed to admit it. In either case he still needs a kick in the balls.

if it walks, looks and quacks..

Then verily boys and girls..IT'S A GODDAMN DUCK!
Now..why can't our federal law enforcement figure this out. It's not rocket science. Oh wait you're probably wonder what has the palm of my hand itching for the proverbial clue x 4.

Very well..lets me explain..ahhh here read this..
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/top-stories/2010/09/01/two-terror-suspects-held-on-aircraft-over-mock-bomb-dry-run-115875-22527883/

Now they found a pepto bottle with a cellphone strapped to it, a shampoo bottle with a watch strapped to it and multiple edged weapons. Also not mentioned in this article but I seem to recall reading it in another article..or maybe hearing it via foxnews at some point today. Appparently one of them had multiple cellphones 'bundled' together as if to be distributed later?

while our own people are blowing this off, a major fracking mistake in my own not so humble opinion, the dutch are proceeding with further investigation so they can figure out exactly how to prosecute them..if they can. Now perhaps our ever so wonderful 'officials' will remember that one of the ways multiple terrorist cells work, is that one hand often doesn't know what the other is doing. Since these two 'apparently' didn't know each other it suggests multiple cell involvement to me. or our own officials don't know as much at they think they do. Me? Paranoid? not hardly.

As to the other bit of news that annoyed me...
The report our own State Dept. in it's infinite wisdom gave to the UN council on "human rights violations" in America. A body I might add..populated by countries whose own human rights violations are so heinous they defy logic; and who I might add HATE OUR GUTS!! Although that pretty much describes 95% or better of the members of the United Nations to be blunt. What's worse is they included the Arizona Immigration Law in that report. Excuse Me?!
I like Jan Brewer's response that she wrote to Sec State Clinton
""The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional,"
here's the link to the story on Foxnews..
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/08/30/state-department-stands-decision-include-arizona-human-rights-report/
You know what I can't figure out? Anyone with any brains whatsoever will freely admit that the United Nitwits is the most useless body on the face of the earth. I can't figure out why America did not tell the UN to "stick it up your ass where the sun don't shine" and then as impolitely as possible tell them all to get the fuck out. Seriously..all but a handfull of the members of the UN hate us, want nothing but our destruction. They also want us...subservient to them. NOT gonna happen by the way. They treat us like crap, treat our people with extreme distrespect and contempt and run up so many parking tickets I believe the fines are in the millions. So really..why have we not shown them the door, with a steel toed boot in the ass to propel them as the leave? It's inconceivable to me.
So my solution..is to hang every single member of the State Dept for treason as an object lesson. Oh, to evict the UN with extreme prejudice. Might I also suggest we fumigate the building the UN has occupied for lo these many years..... with napalm?
