JUST CUT THE DAMN SPENDING!!!!!

 Our national debt is again approaching the debt ceiling of $14 trillion and the economists are telling us that if we don't raise that debt limit and just keep on borrowing money, that it will cause " global instability".  wooo... I'm soooo frightened!

"In the most extreme scenario, the government would default on certain debts if the cap doesn't move." - Wall Street Journal

hmm... default on debts.... Oh, you mean like go bankrupt? Aren't we already technically bankrupt? If you can't pay your debts without borrowing more money, I think that pretty much means you are bankrupt. Soooo, if we don't go further into debt, which means go further into bankruptcy, then we might go bankrupt?  Is that what you geniuses are trying to feed us?

I got a stupid question to ask of these educated idiots. How the hell is our going more bankrupt going to help global stability? Isn't that what is behind the problem in Greece? Do ya think that if our economy doesn't improve to the point that our GDP starts actually bringing in some revenue, maybe that might cause a little bit of instability around the globe?

Well, of course their response would be, a government can't go bankrupt because they just keep printing phony money, like our irresponsible crooks in DC have been doing since we decided to trash the monetary system that was actually backed up with something of real, tangible value, like gold and silver. Yeah, I know, there isn't enough gold or silver in the world to back up the world's economies so we just have this "fiat" crap ponzi scheme of a money system that says, hey, if you need some more money, JUST PRETEND you have it.

Yeah, that's pretty much it in a nutshell. And, to make matters worse, everyone goes along with it, including the good ol' USofA  tax payer. Our futures have been mortgaged by this system for eternity. The US government has written IOUs in our name to the tune of $13 plus trillion and it's increasing to the tune of about $1 trillion per year and the economists tell us we can't stop this suicidal practice because it might give the rest of the World a boo-boo. "Oh No! The sky is falling !!!!!  AAARGH!!!!" 

Hey, earth to economists, take a look around ya guys. The US is broke. The damn sky has already fallen and humpty dumpty ain't gonna put himself back together again until you fools realize you can't orchestrate the world's economies with a failed 1930s progressive theory. JUST LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE!!!

We just had a historic election in which the party in power received its walking papers in a major way. It was largely due to the shape of our economy and the very real fact that the government has driven this ship of state onto the rocks and there is just about nothing they can do except print more phony money and make matters worse. And, there is no sign that they have gotten the message yet. They're showing all the signs of raising the debt limit once again because the economists are screaming that the sky will fall if they don't.  Oh booo!! And just when I thought Halloween was over.

Our politicians have been listening to the socialist trained economists for way too long now. How's that workin' out?  hmm?  Isn't it about time they used their own common sense and just cut spending instead? No compromise, negotiating, leveraging, bribery, or back room dealing. JUST CUT THE DAMN SPENDING THIS TIME!!!!!!

Illegal Immigraton, and the Plethora of Pandering Politicians

Ah yes, illegal immigration, that IED on the road to political power that no politician seems able to ignore, avoid or disarm without some kind of damage.

The long standing belief is that in order to secure the votes of any special interest group, particularly minorities, a politician or party must pander to that group and give them, or at least promise to give them what they want. It's a tricky proposition at best because many politicians have a substantial non-minority block that they must also contend with. What's a politician to do? How can they pander to all sides at once? Oh my....trouble, trouble.

In the case of the fastest growing "minority" special interest group, the Hispanics, it appears from the media hoopla that they all want amnesty for illegal aliens, er, eh,,, excuse my insensitivity...."undocumented visitors", or something benign and harmless sounding like that. And, the polls seem to back that up. Hispanics do all seem to be pretty much lining up on the side of Jose and Lupe from whatever Latin American country they came from, or any other country that the Empire of Spain once conquered, oppressed, plundered and gave them their language and surnames.

Yep, if you have a Spanish sounding surname, the Hispanic or Latino voting block apparently wants to give to you carte blanch, a big heaping serving of the benefits and rights once reserved for US citizens. Not all of them feel that way, we're told, but enough of them to make any fork tongued politician pander like a Chevy dealer at a lowrider convention. They're goin' around speakin' the ol' espanol, stuffing their faces with enchiladas and chili peppers and bad mouthing that "racist Arizona law", which of course, few if any of them have actually bothered to read. They don’t need to, Eric Holder told them what it says.

Two notable examples of which I refer are Meg Whitman who is running for Governor on the GOP ticket in California and Governor Perry of Texas. Yeah, the polls are sayin' "better get out there and put some distance between you and that Arizona law or you'll lose the Hispanic vote." And boy howdy, ain't they doin' just that. Governor Perry, worried that his Demorcrat opponent has caught him in the polls, went and spoke at a conference of La Raza, (The Race), in San Antonio recently and pandered like a street corner beggar, telling them just what they all wanted to hear. "Arizona's approach wouldn't fit in Texas", he pandered. So, in essence, he's against the Arizona immigration law. But, Democrat candidate Bill White also spoke and pandered even better, drawing cheers by emphasizing that, "if he becomes governor, he will absolutely veto any copycat of Arizona's law".

It doesn't matter to the panderers that the Arizona law mirrors Federal law and prohibits racial profiling. It doesn't mattter to the panderers that violence on the border is so bad the buildings in El Paso are being hit by stray bullets coming from gun battles across the border. It doesn't matter to Pandering Perry that if you go fishing on a certain lake on the Tex/Mex border, better watch out for banditos with AK47s looking to rob you of your catch, your pesos and your Lone Star beer. And if you resist, you’ll be left bobbing in the water like so much gator bait. And it doesn't matter to either panderers that both states are looking at huge budget deficits and really don't need any more illegals to feed, educate, medicate and police.

There's an article out now about the record number of these "undocumented tourists" dying of heat stroke out in the desert of Arizona trying to come here illegally, despite the efforts of the humanitarians helping them with water stations, emergency phones and directions to the nearest ACLU office.

"From Jan. 1 to July 15, the office has handled the bodies of 134 illegal immigrants, up from 93 at the same time last year and 102 in 2008. In 2007, when the office recorded the highest annual deaths of illegal immigrants, 140 bodies had been taken there through July 15."

That sure does put the lie to the statement by our esteemed Secretary Of Homeland Insecurity, Janet "the system worked" Napolitano,

"The border has never been more secure" and "Illegal immigration is down".

The problem is, she's obviously basing her statement on the apprehension stats that are lower because ICE is concentrating their efforts on the more politically palatable “criminals” at or near the Ports of Entry or picked up for the umpteenth time by some police department. But they don’t have time to worry about the desert and the unsecured areas of the borders. It’s a policy more palatable to La Raza, so the weak kneed politicians go after the “real” criminals, rather than waste time on all those poor “undocumented immigrant” criminals just looking for a better life and dropping dead from the heat and the weight of the drugs they're carrying through in the Arizona desert.
It doesn’t seem to matter to the panderers that a whole lot of those “immigrants” are being used by the drug traffickers to carry their dope for them and then are just murdered or raped, turned into prostitutes, held for ransom, or whatever.

Yeah, maybe the illegal immigration is down because they're all dying in the desert or downtown Phoenix in some back alley whorehouse. I rather tend to believe they're just not being caught and deported like they used to, and are making it up north to all those jobs Americans won't do. Who knows?
Ond thing we know for sure is that neither Napolitano, the CIA, FBI, IRS or Obama, or anyone else has a clue how many are here or came across last week or last year. There is just no way to know and if they do know, how do they know and why didn’t they stop them?

Afghanistan - Obama's Tar Baby

Imagine if you will, General Dwight Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander in WWII, on the eve of the invasion of Hitler's Fortress Europe, making the following statement:

"We have arrived at a critical moment. We must never forget that the decisive terrain in Europe is the human terrain. As you and our allied partners on the ground get into tough situations, we must employ all assets to ensure your safety, keeping in mind, again, the importance of avoiding civilian casualties."

General Eisenhower, of course did not make that statement. It was taken from recent statements of General Petraeus during a ceremony at NATO headquarters in Afghanistan. I merely replaced the word' Afghanistan' with 'Europe' and 'NATO' with 'allied', but I think you get the point.

Eisenhower may have indeed considered privately the very real inevitability of civilian casualties and regretted the ability to avoid them, but I doubt seriously he ever once considered it the “decisive terrain” of the war or made it part of his public statements to those who where being asked to lay down their own lives to free those very civilians from the tyranny of Nazi occupation. Eisenhower knew the success of the war did not hinge upon avoiding civilian casualties. He knew the success of the war hinged on killing the enemy and destroying his will and ability to fight. Apparently they don’t teach that at West Point anymore. Apparently General Petraeus has a different strategy. He is going to win the war by not killing civilians and then maybe the enemy will have a change of heart and just surrender en mass, or change their evil ways.

Times have changed since 1942. We have now another kind of General and another kind of war, if we can even call the mess in Afghanistan a war. We now have a General as concerned with civilian casualties as he is the safety of our own troops, at least publicly. We have a general now who operates from a different kind of schooling, a different military strategy, spawned in the murky primordial waters of doctorate theory, designed to respond to the nation building war doctrine of our current political morass, and to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Vietnam quagmire. He apparently concluded from that experience that the way to win an un-winable war is primarily to just avoid killing civilians. When faced with guerilla war tactics by an entrenched hostile indigenous enemy, you must win their hearts and minds by showing them how nice you are. I thought the lesson learned from Vietnam was to never have another Vietnam. But then, I didn’t attend West Point.

The man tapped by a publicly spurned President to replace the less politically savvy preceeding general in the field, General Petraeus has been hailed as a military genius for having proved his theory of counter insurgency in Iraq. His brilliant plan to win the hearts and minds of the civilians while turning his own troops into sitting ducks, has allegedly worked so well in Iraq that the level of violence has been reduced to a trickle of car bombings and I.E.D. explosions. The constant fear of mortar attacks on the US Embassy in Baghdad have almost disappeared.... well, except for the one that hit the embassy during President Biden’s recent 4th of July visit. We are told that it had nothing to do with his visit, however.

The level of violence has decreased so much in Iraq that we only have a few thousand troops still sitting around there waiting for that next mortar attack or I.E.D. But hey, the people just love us. They really do. We don’t have any kind of formal peace treaty with them yet, but they really do love us. I guess we’re keeping some troops there just in case they fall out of love with us, like the troops we still have deployed in South Korea, Japan, Germany, Italy, United Kingdom, Belgium, and the rest of the 150 countries around the World. That's why when Pelosi says she wants to bring the troops home, I really don't believe her.

So, General Petraeus is the guy now that is going to win this Vietnam sequel, this ill conceived undeclared war in Afghanistan. Congress is going to continue to fund it and Obama is going to just have to figure out a way to convince his political base of rabid anti-war Leftists that it is a good war. Perhaps amnesty for 30 million illegal aliens will do the trick. He's working on that.

I hate to admit it, but I have to agree with his base. This is not a good war because it cannot be won in any conventional meaning of the term and will not end there. Islamic terrorism is spreading to every hell hole in the World. Where do we go for our next Vietnam sequel? Even if it could be won, it is not worth the price in lives or national treasure - not this way and not in this place.

RNC Chairman Steele is right. It’s Obama’s tar baby.

Twas the 4th of July

Twas the 4th of July and all through the lands,
the fingers were flying from idiot's hands.
The rockets they shot into neighbor's back yards
with never a thought from the mental retards.

The stands they were packed with things that go boom,
and whistle and pop and light up the gloom.
The morons lined up to give them their dough,
for something to light and then watch it blow.

With everywhere flags and the red white and blue,
the ERs awaited the inevitable goo.
They knew it was coming, the fools never learn,
there's no way to know how fast fuses burn.

The smoke it was wafting from dogs on the grill,
and beer by the gallon celebrators did swill.
With firecrackers popping, bottle rockets they lit,
none of them thought of the roof that they hit.

Soon sirens came screaming to put out the blaze,
but nothing would sober the reveler’s craze.
With beer cans in hand the fuses they lit,
‘til sooner or later they heard an “AH SHIT`!”

With plenty of noise to frighten the pets,
the ER technicians were all taking bets.
Just how many fingers this time would be lost,
which hands would be saved and which would be tossed.

Twas the 4th of July and just like the last,
most thought of the present and not of the past.
The day was a big one for retailer’s all,
a gimmick to get us to come to the mall.

Did the fireworks remind of the patriot’s cause,
those who made possible this nation of laws?
Or did it get lost in the noise and the smoke,
when so many fools just think it a joke?

The meaning of “is” is.....

Ah Bubba Clinton.... ain’t he some politician? He’s still at it....still out there parsing those words; finding more cleaver new definitions of words like “is”, “bribe” and “fleeting association”. He’s so good at turning a sow’s ear into a silk purse that most of the Media don’t even notice much anymore. We’ve come to expect it from our highest elected officials. It’s almost as if we want to be lied to and deceived by these loveable ol’ scumbags, liars and cheats and even our sweet, lovin'  KKK.

"He once had a fleeting association with the Ku Klux Klan, what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollows from West Virginia. He was trying to get elected," former President Bill Clinton said of Sen. Robert Byrd.
Robert Byrd, also known as: Exalted Cyclops of the KKK. certainly did have a “fleeting association” with the Klan. His “fleeting association” was fleeting enough for him to rise through the ranks of the Klan to the fleeting title of Exalted Cyclops. I don’t think this title is given to just anyone who has a “fleeting association” with the Klan. I think they probably reserve that title for guys who really embrace the principles and objectives and beliefs. And I also think that the ol’ Cyclops was looking for more than just to get elected back in those days when he joined the Klan.

Bubba Clinton, the originator of the ‘Definition of Is’ doctrine of American jurisprudence and other such infamous legalizing contortions as the ‘definition of alone’, may actually want to believe that the Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd was just acting out of pure love for Blacks when he filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but then we’d have to pin him down on what exactly the definition of ‘love’ and perhaps ‘civil’ is.

The rest of us aren’t so conflicted, however, as to the definitions of these words and certainly “fleeting” can’t possibly be construed to mean anything close to Robert Byrd’s association with the Klan or it’s beliefs. As late as 1965, the ol’ Cyclops was still showing signs of his true colors and black wasn’t part of the pallet.

But suddenly, and we don’t need Bubba to define ‘suddenly’, The ol Cyclops became the champion of Blacks and other minorities and all things Civil Rights. The Democrat Party was a changin’ and he wanted to ride that gravy train a while longer.


And ride that train he did, for over half a century, toeing the party line and tempering his blatantly segregationist views. Amazing as it is, a man once called the Exalted Cyclops of the KKK, was buried with the highest national honors, his coffin draped with the US flag, not the Confederate flag, as would have been his un-tempered wish. And with the respect normally reserved for national heroes and Presidents, great fanfare, pomp and circumstance, speech making and Media fawning, the “reformed” former member of the Klan, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was carried into the Capitol building to lie in state. How fitting it is to lie in state after having lied to the state for half a century.

Well, it all depends on what your meaning of “lie” is and I’m pretty sure Clinton is working that one over in his head right now.

Stop The Insanity. I Want To Get Off!!

Where does it all end? Or, more to the point, will it ever end? Is there no end to the lunacy?

There seems to be an endless chain of events that make life ever more depressing, and often infuriating. Even a bit of good news, a brief light at the end of the dark tunnel of despair is tainted with uncertainty and is quickly extinguished with another wave of the daily salvos of insanity from the news Media.

As I sit and watch the cable news, I am forced to just shake my head and say over and over, "unbelievable", because it is. So much of what we are treated to every day, all day, is truly unbelievable from any rational, common sense analysis; everything from public schools handing out condoms and refusing to allow the pledge of allegiance to the flag, or even allowing the flag in the classroom, to the Gulf oil spill fiasco where the myriad of government agencies are actually a hindrance to the cleanup rather than an asset. The Coast Guard, the EPA, OSHA, not to mention the President and all his political hacks, are actually making the situation worse with red tape and bureaucratic inefficiency. On day 66 of the spill, a tanker capable of skimming 500,000 barrels of oil per day sat idle in a harbor due to government red tape and perhaps political shenanigans. I want to know who is the stupid, bureaucrat SOB responsible for this delay? I want his or her head to roll, but all I get for my rage is another wave of headlines that wash more insanity across the days of our lives. Stop showing us pictures of the oily turtles and a few more pictures of these damn bureaucrats that can't get their heads out of their own pompus asses. It’s unbelievable.

All we really know for certain is the reality that millions of gallons of oil are now washing up on the beaches and swamps of the Gulf states and the government is incapable of stopping it. The Leftists who champion big government are understandably quiet about this obvious exposure of the failings of their sacred ideology. The Media, most of whom are Leftists, aren’t concerned either about this glaring evidence of the abject failure of government to respond to this disaster and all the others. So, we are treated to endless pontifications about the dire seriousness of the spill to the precious environment with all the proper inflammatory adjectives and predictions of environmental and shrimp boat Armageddon, but very little about the fact that the President and all the king’s men could not put humpty-dumpty back together again. The myth of the omnipotence of big government to solve all problems, large and small has been busted for all the World to see.

The other big disaster, the Man caused economic disaster, is not recovering either, despite the $billions that Obama has wasted, just as we conservatives predicted, but still the Leftists persist with their insane plans for more deficit spending. Out of one side of their mouth they give lip service to deficit reduction while making plans to raise taxes and continue spending. The market continues to sputter and fall, and along with it the life savings and standard of living of millions of people. Jobs continue to evaporate with the hot air of political rhetoric about who’s to blame and who’s really trying to help the “little people”. With every down day on the Market, Obama gives another vapid speech at another phony pep rally, a few more million gallons of oil wash up on the Gulf coast, more jobs are lost and the Left marches on, attacking the flag, God, marriage, the borders, our national sovereignty and common sense. Unbelievable.....

And, in the midst of all this insanity and chaos, a few more of our nation’s finest give their all in the sands of a wasteland thousands of miles from home. More is said about a few oily pelicans than is said about the lost lives of our soldiers in the God forsaken deserts of Afghanistan and Iraq. More is made of the career of some politician general and a fat, ugly homosexual, socialist Supreme Court appointee than is said about a brave, dying soldier lying face down in the sand; his life’s blood draining rapidly out of his body for a cause that he no longer can explain. It’s complicated. It’s tough. It’s going to be a long slog, the generals and politicians say. And more and more it’s beginning to look like just another Vietnam with no end in sight and no honorable way out. What a useless way to die. When will it all end?

Airliner hijacked by bureaucrats and other incompetent boobs

Headline: AIR NIGHTMARE: Chaos as Newark Flight Diverted


"Hundreds of Newark-bound passengers sat for four hours on a tarmac in a stifling cabin after bad weather diverted their flight from London in Connecticut and union regulations grounded it there.


To make matters worse, passengers said, the plane's generators shut down for the second time, leaving them with no air conditioning and sweltering temperatures that reached 100 degrees."

Well, here we go again. A flight gets grounded on the tarmac for hours and hundreds of passengers are held captive, LITERALLY CAPTIVE by the airlines and they try to blame it on union and federal regulations. This should make people so damn mad they would never set foot on another airliner again and the law suits should be flying before the last pissed off passenger is off the plane.

Not only that but the airlines should be held criminally liable as well. It's a crime to hold someone against his or her will. It's usually called false arrest and unlawful imprisonment. I could be wrong but last time I checked union regulations can't trump a criminal statute!

Will some poor schmuck have to die on one of these flights from hell before the airlines are forced to let people get off these damn planes in a reasonable length of time? Congress stepped up the last time this happened and graciously decreed that 3 hours was long enough to make people suffer needlessly before the airlines must allow them to de-plane. But, of course, as with all of Congress's bluster it failed to even come close to solving the problem. First of all, 3 hours stuck on a plane with no water or restroom and no air conditioning during the blazing heat of the Summer is absolute torture and no person with any sense would sit there and endure that torture willingly. I would be the guy that would just go up to the door and open it and fight anyone who tried to stop me. But that's just me. I would either get off that plane right there or make the captain return to the terminal and let me off. It would be like 'Mutiny on the Bounty'.

Besides being about 2 hours too long, the new rule only applies to domestic flights! So, apparently, international flights can be held out there on the tarmac, regardless of conditions, forever!

The airlines did apologize, so I guess everything is just hunky dory. Oh sure. It's not really their fault their damn plane was defective and the generator wouldn't work. Oh noooo. And it's not their fault then that the plane had to wait for Customs to arrive. Hey, it's a security matter ya know.

The reason this makes me so mad is that none of it needs to happen. It happens because the airlines and the airports and the FAA and the TSA are incapable of using their own discretion, common sense and good judgment and it is clear that nobody seems to really give a damn. They use the excuse of "security" or union rules. The airlines also do it to save a few bucks as well. It costs them money to de-plane 300 people and find them alternate transportation. That's the bottom line. Once you get on that plane, they own your ass and they treat you that way.

These kinds of incidents never used to happen. There was a time, back in the good ol' days, when people could use their God given good sense to make decisions based on the situation at hand. Airlines employees, pilots, whoever was in control, would just get those people off that plane if it meant bringing out the portable boarding stairs and bussing them back to the terminal. Unions be damned! Customs be damned! The only time passengers were ever held captive on the tarmac for hours was when a certain group of Islamic terrorists began hijacking them back in the 70s.

If the Customs agents can't get there within a few minutes, then just get those passengers off the plane, back to the terminal and let them enjoy a Happy Meal while they wait in relative comfort and safety. If the US Customs or TSA doesn't like it, tough shit. What are they going to do, fine the airlines? Wack their peepees? I'd love to see that Congressional hearing on national TV.

Congress will haul just about any citizen or CEO in front of a Star Chamber circus inquisition if it suits their political motivations. So, how about hauling the airlines before a congressional hearing to answer the question of why they chose to hold 300 people against their will on a plane in 100 degree heat with no air conditioning because of some union rule???!

It would also be interesting to see the pompous assed Congress grilling the US Customs officials as to why they can't come up with a more efficient way to handle situations where a plane gets diverted to another airport and is forced to hold passengers on the damn plane for hours until they arrive to check the luggage for whatever it is they check for these days. We know they aren't checking for terrorists because terrorists don't seem to have much trouble getting on board airplanes, even when they're being tailed by the FBI and they're on the no-fly list!

But, as Homeland Insecurity chief Napalitano would surely surmise, the system worked. Yep, the system worked so well in this instance that not one damn person with half the brains God gave a jackass could figure out that 300 passengers were being forced to sit on a plane in 100 degree heat for no good reason.... AGAIN!

Feds return to Jim Crow, but with a twist

From the "things that make your head explode" file.....

"PORT CHESTER, N.Y. – Voters in Port Chester, 25 miles northeast of New York City, are electing village trustees for the first time since the federal government alleged in 2006 that the existing election system was unfair. Federal Judge Stephen Robinson approved a remedy suggested by village officials: a system called cumulative voting, in which residents get six votes each." (click here for article)

He said, in effect, that a community made up of 50% Hispanics where white candidates always won the elections, somehow violated the Voting Rights Act.

SAY WHAT???!!! Yep, that's right. This white hating Federal Judge, like many Federal Judges, is so brainwashed by the reverse discrimination logic of fairness, that there is nothing too ridiculous or unfair to whites that he won't approve of it.  If it harms whites and favors some other ethnic group, it's just hunky dory with him. And, because he's a Judge, that makes it all legal.

Of course, "Hispanic" is not a race, but since Judge Robinson is legislating from the bench under the guise of "racial equality" in approving this ridiculous bastardization of the voting system, then I guess we can refer to it as racism. We'll just call him a damn racist because there is no other way to describe a manipulation of the voting system to give one race an advantage, however slight, over another. By giving every resident 6 votes, including whites apparently, he reasoned that since Hispanics will naturally vote in a block for Hispanic candidates, they would increase their representation beyond their actual voting numbers to elect more Hispanic candidates to public office.

First of all, why does he believe that just having more Hispanic people in office will somehow be better for society? Is that not racist on its face? What's next, Judge, Hispanic "preferred" restaurants and bathrooms? I know, that's a ways down the slippery slope, but the Jim Crow laws that prevented colored folks from voting in the South did not all happen overnight either.

Why not cut to the chase, Judge, and just approve the ol' Jim Crow poll tax but this time make it harder for non-Hispanics to vote because they make too much money? Just say that if you make more than Hispanics make on average, you only get one vote and they all get 6 votes each. It's no different and much more direct and efficient. It'd be easy to do. Just use the $14 billion 2010 census data.

"The 15th Amendment, ratified on February 3, 1870, provided that the right of U.S. citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. The Congress was given the authority to enforce those rights and regulate the voting process. From 1890 to 1908, however, 10 Southern states wrote new constitutions with provisions that included literacy tests, poll taxes, and grandfather clauses that permitted otherwise disqualified voters whose grandfathers voted (thus allowing some white illiterates to vote), some with the aim and effect of re-imposing racially motivated restrictions on the voting process that disfranchised blacks."

But all the Jim Crow laws are now illegal and there is nothing preventing anyone from voting. Nothing has changed with the voting system to make it unfair since the Voting Rights Act. Every US citizen has the same voting rights as anyone else. If they choose not to exercise those rights for whatever reason except intimidation, like, a couple of Black Panther thugs armed with clubs blocking the entrance to a polling place, it's their choice. It's not racism if they are just too lazy or ill informed to vote. We shouldn't give everyone 6 votes in some lame attempt to make it easier to elect minorities.

 If you think having more of one color of people and less of another color in public office is better for the country, then you need to have your union thugs and ACORN go out and get more of the proper colored folks registered and bussed to the polls on election day. That's how the race pimps have always done it, so why not just continue what works? You don't need to cheat the system or rig elections, not that the race pimps are necessarily above that either, but it's harder and it might embarrass your community activist leaders if you get caught.

But, as always, the racists are never satisfied with equal. They want an edge. So, they now have a scheme to make sure their color gets over represented and they can be sure to win more elections. Welcome to the new, improved Jim Crow era once again.

Our Attention Deficit Disorder Foreign Policy

Is the Afghan "war" really a war and if it is, why has it lasted so long? Did Congress ever get around to actually declaring war this time? I must have missed that news cycle. Maybe Pelosi slipped that into the health care bill too.

Wars are supposed to be declared by Congress but for some reason that rigorous formality designed to keep us from getting bogged down in endless foreign entanglements has been replaced by something else, the Attention Deficit Doctrine. To avoid the nasty reality of fighting a real war, we just never declare war and that way, when we lose interest in killing and dying and spending money, we just go onto somethig else. Nothing ever really gets decided or accomplished, except for the poltical careers of the Presidents in charge at the time.
Arguably the worst and last "real war" America fought was World War II. We were fighting the Axis powers on three fronts; Japan, Italy and Germany, all of which had the most advanced military machines in history at that time. They had strong industrial and economic bases and resources. Japan controlled most of the Pacific and Asia and Germany and Italy controlled all of Europe, half of Russia, North Africa and the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East and were closing in on the United Kingdom.

It took America a mere 4 and a half years to defeat all three Axis countries, destroy their ability and will to fight, bring them to the peace table and bring peace and prosperity to the World..... for awhile. It had a definite beginning and a definite end. Congress declared war on them and they on us. Once we destroyed them, they signed a peace treaty. It was over.

Compare that scenario to Afghanistan. We have been engaged militarily in Afghanistan since 2001 , a 3rd world country with no organized army, no air force or navy, no industry, no infrastructure and a barely organized government of our own creation. We went there after 9/11 to remove the Taliban and kill or capture Osama bin Laden. 8.5 years later we have not accomplished either objective. We have the most advanced military the world has ever seen and our technological advantage is vastly superior to anything the enemy can muster, and yet we cannot even achieve our limited objectives, let alone defeat this pathetic 3rd World country.

Everyone calls the Afghan adventure a war and yet by comparison to real wars, it barely classifies as a decent police action, except in terms of the money spent to conduct it. Our own government is paralyzed by political correctness to the point they can’t even name the real enemy or use the term terrorist. They’ve quit referring to the “war” on terrorism, which is what got us there in the first place. Yet, they continue to fund the un-war in Afghanistan as if it were just something they are obligated to do but can’t say exactly why. Forget about the fact that it is becoming a worse quagmire than Vietnam, with no achievable goal and no visible end in sight, we simply can no longer afford to continue it! We are $13 trillion in debt with no way to repay it, EVER! We sure as hell can't afford to be throwing more borrowed money at a so-called war with nothing or very little left to gain even if we could ever figure out a way to honorably extract ourselves.

The grim reality is that the minute we leave that wasteland, if we ever do, it will immediately fall back into the hands of the war lords and Taliban or whatever group of tyrannical misfits and murderers that controlled it before we arrived. So what if it did? Even if we could somehow, someday completely destroy every last vestige of terrorist scumbag making ability in that hell hole, and turn it into a thriving clone of America with a McDonalds on every corner, there are about a hundred other places around the World just dying to take it’s place as the center of terrorism. That is the undeniable reality that is facing us and yet is totally missing from the discussion.

Afghanistan, however, is not the only un-war we have been engaged in for a protracted period of time, upon which we have spent huge amounts of national treasure and lives and which turned out badly or not at all. Vietnam comes to mind, as does Korea and Iraq but the list is quite long.

Congress never declared war on North Korea. That un-war was fought to a stalemate and continues to this day, locked in a stare down across the 38th parallel where it all began in 1950. The Korean "conflict" or "police action" as it was called for lack of a formal declaration of war, actually grew out of the end of the 2nd World War when Korea was divided by the United Nations between North and South Korea. The North, supported by Communist China, invaded the South and the fight was on. Our involvement with the United Nations and our presumed position as the World's policeman sucked us into that deadly, unwinnable tar baby. We are still there today, manning the 38th parallel, waiting for North Korea, still supported by Communist China and now equipped with nuclear capabilities, to come pouring back across it, just like they did in 1950.

Congress never declared war in Vietnam. The Nixon administration at least negotiated a signed so-called peace agreement that was more like a cease fire so we could cut and run. Of course, the agreement was immediately violated by the Communists because they hadn‘t been beaten, so the un-war was not ended by the un-treaty. The US Congress was controlled by the Democrats in 1973 and they refused to fund the war they had started. In essence, the Democrats gave up and allowed that "un-war" to be un-lost. They were more interested in bringing down the Nixon presidency at the time and the country was more interested in smoking pot and free love. We didn't lose the war. We just lost interest in it, thus establishing the Attention Deficit Doctrine.... Foreign Policy by ADD.

We’re still in Iraq and while I believe it was a necessary venture and a huge success at first, we can’t seem to find that peace table, sign the treaty and get the hell out yet. Why? Because it too was not a real war. Congress never declared war so it can’t declare an end to it. How do you say the war is over if you never declared it started, against whom and for what reason? We just went there, congress funded it and gave it their tacit approval, our boys died, we hung the bad guy but now we’re stuck in this endless tar baby limbo of indecisive political mumbo jumbo called “nation building“. We can’t leave and we can’t stay. We can’t win but we can’t lose. If we have a legitimate reason to keep our forces there, and I believe an argument can be made for that, let’s use that strategic position to launch an invasion of the Islamic terrorist World and get it over with. Let’s get it on and win this war with Islam, once and for all. Otherwise, let’s just withdraw into our shell and wait for them to invade us. Sooner or later it’s going to happen. At least then we will be justified in declaring real all out war against a real enemy. We either fight to win or we will all die. It’s as simple as that.

The lesson to all of this is that if we are going to engage in military action of any kind, we need to have a formal declaration of war. We need a real enemy that we can name, demonize, destroy and then come home. Otherwise, stay the hell out of it.

Sieg heil Helen, your swastika is showing

The not-so lovely or loveable, Bush-bashing White House correspondent Helen Thomas, never known before as a Jew hater, has finally jumped the shark and let it all hang out. Yep, she's out of the closet like a Nazi at a KKK rally. She may not be the Beast of Buchenwald, but she just might be the Beast of the White House Press Corps,... or was. She has now officially retired. It’s about time. She was 89.

In a May 27 exchange with Rabbi David Nesenoff, which was captured on video and posted on the website http://www.rabbilive.com/, Thomas said Israelis should "get the hell out of Palestine" and "go home to Germany and Poland. "

The only difference between her anti-Semitic jaw dropping whopper and the career ending tirade of standup comic Michael Richards is that Helen is no comedian. She can’t claim it was a joke. Some things you just can’t un-say. As Kramer would say, “It’s....out there”.

Nope, there’s no puttin’ this toothpaste back in the tube, Helen. Apologize all you want to, you old jew hater. It’s you, Farrakhan and Ol’ Uncle Adolf all the way now baby. You may as well move to Hollywood and become a gossip columnist. You’ll fit right in. All those far Left lunes feel the same way you do about the Jews and Israel.

Frankly, I’ve been sick of that liberal Democrat loving windbag for decades and it’s simply karma that she should now have to do the perp walk of shame right out of there and into journalistic obscurity where she belongs. Old journalists, like old soldiers should retire and fade away.... before their senility starts to show and they end up saying something stupid.

World Don’t Tread On US

**************************************************************************
BREAKING NEWS: The World Health Organization (WHO) gets it wrong, again.

Well DUH. Who would have guessed that one? Another World organization, comprised of so-called experts, unaccountable to the people over whom they exercise considerable power to regulate, is once again exposed for the incompetent, negligent and corrupt alarmists they really are. The WHO is now being accused far and wide for exaggerating the Swine Flu scare, commonly referred to as H1N1, which, far from being a world wide deadly PANDEMIC as they claimed, turned out to be about as bad as the common cold. But, besides just being a bunch of self-serving panic mongering bureaucrats, they were being advised by “experts” with ties to the drug companies that just so happened to end up being the direct beneficiaries of the panic induced “THE SKY IS FALLING” media-gasm mania. It turns out they made a killing even if the Swine Flu pandemic didn’t. And, as usual, we the tax payers got stuck with the bill. Surprise!
First we had the Global Warming media-gasm mania scam, and all that it entailed from the fraudulent “hockey stick” climate data to the cover-up and finally to the exposure of the true agenda to extort billions from developed countries as penitence for using too much of the Earth’s precious resources. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), of which the Kyoto Protocol is a part, is a major player and purveyor of the total farce that is man-made global warming. Surprise!

And now we have the latest in a long history of panic mongering, alarmist, false predictions by the United Nations WHO, from the largely overblown SARS bird flu panic to the Mad Cow scare that led to the slaughter of fully a third of all the cows in Britain - 3.7 million animals, but a mere 136 human deaths suspected of some kind of association with Mad Cow....but they can’t be certain. The moral of the story; don't eat cow brains or let the government know you have livestock. At the first sign of a problem they'll come out to your farm and kill every living creature you own and probably you too if you try to stop them.
Even the World Trade Organization (WTO) is more than a bit scary and for the same reasons as the WHO and UNFCC. The WTO grew out of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), established after World War II in the wake of other new multilateral institutions dedicated to international economic cooperation - notably the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and an international institution for trade, named the International Trade Organization (ITO). Behind this cabal was the much celebrated, (by the Left), economist John Maynard Keynes, for whom Keynesian economics is named and upon which the collapsing Euro-socialist fiasco is based. The US is a member of the IMF and is now being required as a member to help bail out the failed European Union. I think we got screwed on that deal. Surprise!

The ITO was to be a United Nations specialized agency and would address not only trade barriers but other issues indirectly related to trade, including employment, investment, restrictive business practices, and commodity agreements. But the ITO treaty was not approved by the United States and in the absence of an international organization for trade, the GATT would, over the years, "transform itself" into a de facto international organization. Can you say, "through the back door"? Surprise!

Frankly, any organization with “World” or "International" or "Global" in it's name is beginning to make me very uneasy. We enjoy certain inalienable rights in this Country, none of which are safe if our government is in bed with a bunch of crooked bureaucrats from other countries, making treaties and agreements behind closed doors. We can’t even trust our own elected officials behind closed doors. Who knows what impact those agreements and treaties might ultimately have on us and our rights, our economy, affecting our way of life and our prosperity?

Those in the know like to say, "If you aren't at the table you are on the menu." Well, we have been the entrée of the menu at the UN since it began and we own the damn building and pay most of the costs of running it. We have never gotten our money's worth, EVER! It is time to cut them loose, kick them out and extricate ourselves from all these "World" organizations before they get around to consuming US the entrée once and for all.

The Circus Bear President

Do you ever read the comments section of articles you find on the Internet? I do. Sometimes I find one that just boils it all down so succinctly and with such clarity that I am moved to repeat that comment, as I did here. There really is no better way to express it. “How many soldiers have died in the rain?"
The image of the President, any President, is only that which the public is allowed to perceive. He is shuffled here and there by his "advisers", handled like a leashed bear in a traveling circus. He is told what to say and how to say it; his speeches carefully written and messaged to have the maximum impact and influence on the voters; his movements carefully planned and choreographed. At the least sign of danger, physically or politically, he is swept away, surrounded and shielded.

This current circus bear President, this community activist product of the school of Chicago mob politics and affirmative action achievement, is the perfect example of the worst that can be offered by the circus bear performance that has become our Presidency.  On our Nation’s most solemn occasion, or one that should be considered our most solemn occasion, the day when we Americans pause to remember and honor those who have given their lives to defend our freedom, the President is looked upon to lead that reflection, to set the example. He is, after all, the nation’s Commander In Chief and he is, therefore, the proper one to lead that remembrance of our fallen heroes. What better way than for the President to place a wreath upon the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier? It has been a long honored tradition and a fitting one that on Memorial Day, the President as Commander In Chief, the man who has the ultimate power to order men into combat and death, lays a wreath upon the most recognized symbol of that ultimate sacrifice. The Tomb of the Unknowns is such an honored place that it has been guarded continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by an elite unit called the Tomb Guards, since July 2, 1937. Inclement weather does not cause the watch to cease. Nothing does.

But this year on Memorial Day, our current circus bear President was somewhere else. His handlers apparently decided some other cemetery would be a nice place to make a speech. They chose a symbolically political named location for that speech, Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. Considering Lincoln was responsible for half a million fallen soldiers, it is a fitting name for a National Cemetery, and considering the current brew haha over the racially charged issue of illegal immigration, what better place for the first half black circus bear to give a speech on Memorial Day than a cemetery named after the man who freed the slaves? It is also close to Chicago. How convenient for the circus bear and his handlers who would all be close to their favorite city, and all their friends, mob associates and as yet unindicted co-conspirators.

I don’t know if the Abraham Lincoln cemetery is guarded 24/7 by a select military unit, rain or shine like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. I rather doubt it. It doesn’t matter to the media, however and that’s what really matters to Obama and particularly to his handlers. So there he was, all ready and eager to read those teleprompters and grace us, and mostly the media, with his special brand of activist wisdom once more....well, ready until it started to rain.

I am certain that he was not afraid. He did after all survive the political combat of Chicago politics which surely took guts and courage. He also survived that awful childhood being raised by a devout communist mother and flaky absentee black African father. I am certain, if it were up to him, he would have braved the storm and given that speech and never missed a word of it. He’s one hell-of-a speech giver, ya know. I’m not so certain, however,  that he’d be able to survive Army boot camp, let alone one day in actual combat, but we’ll never know because he didn’t choose to serve in that capacity. He chose Harvard Law School and community activism instead.

But the rains came and the thunder roared and lightning flashed. It must have been awful. Teleprompters don’t work so well in the rain and without them, neither does a circus bear President. So, in the interest of protecting the audience, fearing a lightning strike on some sinner thereabouts, the show was moved to a safer, drier venue.... a hanger. Now that’s appropriate. But, first he tried climbing on a bus full of bussed-in spectators but was heckled off the bus, so it was on to plan B. That’s what I call leadership. Or, should we say handlership?

It’s probably just as well Obama wasn’t at Arlington National Cemetery that day. If the good Lord had decided to go after him with a lightning bolt there at the Tomb of the Unknowns and he ran off like a scared little girl, leaving the Tomb Guards there all alone in the storm as they are everyday, 24/7, rain or shine.... think how bad that would have looked to the Nation. I know what one person would have asked, “how many soldiers have died in the rain?”

Pelosi morfs into Mother Teresa as Algore gets frisky

Is it just me or is there something disturbingly wrong with this image....Nancy Pelosi trying to act like Mother Teresa? Is it a sign of desperation with her chances of reelection like that of a snowball in Hell, or did she wake up one morning lying on the floor of the House men's bathroom naked with her gavel shoved up her ass and suddenly found God?

I keep getting this ugly image of her being awakened in the middle of the night by the ghost of Christmas past and her life of debauchery, lying, and politicized baby killing passing before her bulging, botoxed eyes, full of crocodile tears. But for Pelosi, there will not be a happy ending with her bearing gifts and Christmas cheer like Scrooge who was a freaking saint compared to what Pelosi, the slithering, flatulent bag of a lying shrew has accomplished in her political career. Her voting record on the human rights of the unborn will be enough to keep her in Purgatory until Dr. Mengela enters through the Pearly Gates.

"Pelosi Says She Has a Duty to Pursue Policies in Keeping With The Values of Jesus, 'The Word Made Flesh'". She should know about flesh,.... she's been putting on a lot of it lately mostly in the form of wrinkles on that turkey neck of hers.

Of course, being a Catholic baby killer, all she has to do is go to confession and, like her best buddy Teddy "rescue swimmer" Kennedy, she'll be absolved of all guilt for any crimes. 

Before her favorite word was The Word of God, her favorite word was power, which she has pursued with a passion and which she has exercised with a gusto unlike anything the World has seen since Rome was crucifying Christians. Her favorite thing has been the gavel and her favorite pastime has been spending the taxpayer's money and conjuring up fantastic yarns about how wonderful socialism will be when America is just another 3rd World shit hole like her home district of San Fransucko. That's why she was willing to "pole vault" over the will of the The People to cram socialized health care down their collective throats.... for their own good, of course. Maybe God told her to do it.

Maybe God told her to get those botox injections too. Maybe God will tell her to hook up with Algore, now that he's all free and single. Oh, what a repulsive powerhouse of inconvenient myths that pair would make eh?

Yeah, apparently, the struggling global warming poet alarmist Algore and his "Mad Hatter" wife Tipper have decided to split the fortune and the sheets. Poor Algore.... first his global warming scam went bust and now his marriage...tisk tisk. It's all just so....inconvenient.  Maybe Al's poetry just wasn't enough to warm things up around the ol' homestead.  I can imagine what his next poem will be like.....

One thin September soon
A love story disappears
Divorce lawyers smile.

Settlements rise as
Tempers flare in acid mansions
Empire assets dissolve.

The butler cries
The hour of bruising has arrived
Here are your bags.

Just suck the damn oil!

The pressures of the office are apparently taking their toll on the Messiah. Recently, he showed his frustration at not being able to wave his hand and make the waters part and flew off the handle at his aides saying, "Plug the damn hole!"

He was obviously referring to the hole in the Gulf oil well gushing black gooey stuff all over the poor defenseless sea creatures, making it damn hard to find fresh shrimp for the White House dinner parties and messing up his fund raising schedule. Well that's certainly understandable. I feel your pain, Messiah. It's tough to be the King and even tougher to be the Messiah especially when your awesome powers fail you just when you need them the most.

With every passing day, more of that crude is washing up on shore and a few more of your loyal toe suckers, like James Carville are losing their minds on national TV, screaming for you do something and saying, “We’re about to die down here!”

Earth to Carville: Look in the mirror. You died a long time ago. Get back in your crypt. Nobody said your name 3 times.

But, the Messiah keeps repeating his mantra that the federal response was right there from day one. Oh no, they never do nothin’ wrong. They were all over it but it was all Bush’s fault. And, of course that evil, greedy “big oil” British Patroleum lied about the extent of the gusher, a mile down below the surface, which makes it impossible to estimate anything with any degree of accuracy. Nobody knows how much oil is out there, but one thing is certain. The Messiah is stuck to this tar baby for the duration of his now almost certain one term presidency.

One thing that is sure to haunt him like a spell from a voodoo witchdoctor is the fact that it is becoming increasingly clear Obama's administration was powerless to stop the oil from reaching the coast. The environmental catastrophe predicted from the moment the news of the oil leak broke has begun to take place and whatever the almighty government did manage to do was not enough. Big Mommy government was a complete and utter failure.

It didn’t have to happen. At least, it didn’t have to be as bad as it will likely be before it’s over. There is a way to recover most of the oil and it has been done before, in the Persian Gulf. The problem is, nobody will listen to the suggestion. The technique is simple. Just pump it out of the water and into waiting tankers. Separate the oil from the water and voila. No more oil spill.

Nick Pozzi, who was an engineer with Saudi Aramco in the Middle East when he says an accident there in 1993 generated a spill far larger than anything the United States has ever seen. “By employing a fleet of empty supertankers to suck crude off the water's surface, Pozzi's team was not only able to clean up the spill, but also salvage 85 percent of the oil.” The trouble is, nobody will listen to his suggestion. So, all the king’s men and all the king’s scientists could not put humpty dumpty together again and all because they think they know better than some oil guy who has actually done it before. hmmmm...... Is that not the height of arrogance? And is that not just so typical of this Administration?

The Messiah was asked specifically in his press conference about the use of tankers to skim the oil and he totally ignored the question. He did spend lots of time, however, explaining how much he and his administration care about the situation and how important it is and how it is their top priority.... uh huh..... yeah, we’ve noticed....zzzzzzzz... At one point in the press conference I thought he was going to break down into tears talking about the poor oil covered birds and turtles. I guess he was thinking about all those enviro-wacko votes he’s losing over all this. It’s enough to make a grown politician cry.

His press conferences are enough to make a normal human puke. It's a good thing he quit doing them.

Oh what a wicked web we weave....

Oh shock! The US Border Patrol is unionized.  Imagine that, a federal agency is unionized, which explains why 20 thousand US Border Patrol agents can’t adequately patrol the southern border. But wait, it gets better. It’s a law enforcement agency of the federal government and it’s employees are represented by an affiliate of the AFL-CIO. Why is that important? The head of the AFL-CIO is one violent union thug Richard Trumka, a far Left ideological socialist, Obama supporter and consistent basher of Palin, Limbaugh and Beck. In a recent rabble rousing speech reminiscent of the Munich Beer Hall speeches of another Worker’s Party socialist, Adolf Hitler, Trumka stated:


Progressive change? Isn’t that the new code word for socialism? No wonder Trumka hates Beck and Palin and Limbaugh. They have decoded the code word and are alerting the country to what these crypto-fascists are up to.

That is who the AFL-CIO is and that is who it’s President is. They are socialists, plain and simple and they use any kind of social discontent to further their radical ends. Hitler used the resentment against the Jewish bankers in the 1930s and blamed the economic depression on the capitalists. Sound familiar? Trumka uses our current economic disaster to demonize the bankers and Wall Street capitalists and white racists, and conveniently ignores the true culprits, the architects of big government interventionism like Barney Franke and unions like the AFL-CIO!

Jumping on the racial profiling bandwagon to capitalize on the inflammatory nature of the issue, the AFL-CIO has written a long letter to the head of Homeland In-security, Janet, “the system worked” Napolitano voicing its strong opposition to the Arizona immigration enforcement law. Oh shock! A union is opposed to immigration enforcement! Well, it should come as a shock, because it is the “workers” who are being displaced by illegal immigration. It is the worker’s wages that are being lowered by illegal immigration. Why then would the most powerful union in the country be opposed to stopping illegal immigration? Because racism sells. It worked for Hitler didn’t it? The union needs a common enemy against which to unite it’s members and rouse them to angry action, like marches through town to demonstrate their strength in numbers and intimidate their illusionary enemies. He’s looking for votes and militants to use as his brown shirt enforcers to further the agenda of the Leftist, (“workers of the world unite”).

So, we have a desperate situation on the southern border and our federal agency tasked with the responsibility to patrol that border and enforce the immigration laws is hamstrung by the fact that they are represented by a socialist run union of violent thugs who use intimidation and big government ties to enforce their power. It’s all starting to make sense. The US Border Patrol has been unionized and cannot possibly do it’s job, even if the rank and file wanted to. The union won’t allow it.

Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

In the wake of a tsunami of financial disaster brought about by big government socialist spending, the European true believers in Orwellian global government double down, calling for even more regulation and Keynesian control of the economy. "European Central Bank chief Jean-Claude Trichet insisted Saturday that the euro was a credible currency but said tighter regulation was needed of banks, markets and government policies."

Meanwhile, back at the bunker....... by a narrow margin, the German Reichstag voted to approve the bailout of Greece, as the German people begin to wax sentimental about the good old days of the Deutschmark and zipping down the autobahn in their expensive, new BMWs on their way to enjoy their 6 week paid vacation. Their institutionalized guilt for the crimes of their forefathers  however, has finally put them in the passenger's seat of an over-priced, over- regulated Yugo, speeding toward the edge of an economic precipice. There is an increasing sentiment among Germans that, "to make up for its warmongering past, [Germany] shouldered the burdens of the European project. For decades it funded the largest share of Europe's bulging budgets and grand schemes, putting its own interests second."

The last time the Germans started feeling this way, the US had to go over there and rescue Europe from them. But, instead of learning from history, the Politburo comrades in control of our government are just adding lighter fluid to the global debt bonfire, sending money we don't have to bailout the failed European experiment with socialism they can't afford.

Will they never learn? Will they never accept the obvious conclusion that governments are really lousy at business? And when will the common people ever learn that politicians are not to be trusted behind closed doors, especially when the People's wealth is concerned and especially if there's an economist in the room? "No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session."- Mark Twain

But the beat goes on. The drums of the true believers beat out the rhythm of the march toward totalitarian socialism, and all the while they keep up the insulting charade that it is all being done in the name of "democracy". After all, aren’t they elected officials just doing the will of the voters? Well, not exactly. They might have been elected, but by whom and for what purpose? Are the people getting what they voted for? Do they know where these pied pipers are leading them? Do they really understand what all this economic mumbo jumbo actually means for the average Joe? Will it take another World war to stop this suicidal march?

The Germans are beginning to figure it out and they’re getting damn tired of footing the bill -  paying the pensions of Greek hair dressers to retire at age 50. And they’re damn tired of having their noses rubbed in the crimes of their ancestors, just as Americans are getting damn tired of having their noses rubbed in the crimes of their ancestors. White guilt is driving the politics of socialism, both here and in Europe. Guilt is a powerful emotion and therefore a powerful tool, but so is anger. At some point, artificially imposed guilt used to oppress and control society produces resentment and then anger and then rage. Europe is about to explode as it has done over and over in the past and it will surely spread to this country as it always has. Let us hope that the only casualties will be the careers of the politicians that have used guilt as a weapon to enrich themselves and maintain their corrupt power structure.

It is time to put an end to the politics of guilt.

That giant flushing sound

If you've been wondering what that giant flushing sound coming out of the federal government is, it's the sound of liars, traitors and other various career political suck-ups being flushed out of the woodwork. The list is long and getting longer - from a career politician claiming falsely to have been a Vietnam vet, to a State Department closet socialist who tries to equate the human rights record of Communist China to the US.

Barely a day goes by that some slimy, slithering political hack doesn't step up to the microphones and declare his or her allegiance to the almighty Party of Pathetic Partisanship with some twisted logic regarding illegal immigration or just to defend his record of lies. And maybe it's just a coincidence, but the one common theme among them is that they are all Democrats and almost every one of them has some kind of law degree. I think I see a pattern here.

The latest hack to step up and take one for the Party is law scum John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,( ICE). He believes that it is his job to declare his purely political opinion on how to best handle the illegal immigration situation and that, of course, is to tell Arizona to go to hell. He doesn't believe it's the responsibility of ICE to actually enforce the federal laws unless they "feel" like it. In his words, "his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities."

If a private citizen makes a proper and legal citizen's arrest, that citizen is required by law to turn that arrested person over to the proper authorities who are required to accept custody of that person. They do not have the discretion to decide whether or not to accept the arrested person. They can only determine if it was a legal arrest and then they must either cite and release or book that person. Apparently, Mr. Morton doesn't think "his agency" should have the same legal responsibility as every other law enforcement agency in the country to accept legally arrested suspects. Imagine if the county jail suddenly decided not to accept prisoners from the local police department.

The Arizona immigration law has not been tested in the courts. Until it is tested, it is lawful for Arizona law enforcement officials to deliver illegals to ICE. ICE will be negligent if it refuses to accept illegals properly detained and delivered to that agency, particularly when the illegals detained have been confirmed as illegals by ICE themselves! There is a federal statute that required ICE to cooperate with local law enforcement in the sharing of information on legal status. [CITE: 8USC1373(c)]


 The entire premise upon which the constitutional arguments against the Arizona law are based revolve around the supremacy clause which has been used to give the Federal government exclusive power to enforce immigration law. This is based in large part on the fact that the federal government has always fulfilled that responsibility or pre-empted the field. If it suddenly and for no other reason than partisan political necessity begins to neglect that responsibility and leaves the field open, how can they continue to invoke the supremacy and pre-emption clauses?

This, of course, is for the courts to decide and there is little doubt that this battle will end before the Supreme Court has had it's say. Until that time, I hope Arizona starts piling these illegal immigrants on the doorstep of ICE until it begins to look like a Cinco de Mayo celebration at a Walmart 25% off sale.

When ICE is knee deep in unprocessed illegals, and Mr. Morton comes out and says "his agency" won't take them, the American People will be demanding some answers.

A wond-a-ful day in da neigh-ba-hood.....

Mis-ta Pres-a-dent, can you say, radical Islamic terrorist? Dats what Mr. Robinson would say. And he would get lots of laughs from all da boys and girls. Welcome to Mis-ta Robinson's neigh-ba-hood.

But, unlike that Mis-ta Robinson's neigh-ba-hood,  the punchline these days ain't so funny - it stinks. And, just when you think it can't get any worse, the awful reality of what we are facing just hits you like the smell of a putrid, rotting carcass on a hot summer day. Try as you may to ignore it, or avoid it, the smell of this putrid carcass just keeps getting worse and will continue to do so until it is either hauled off and buried or until nature runs it course. Since our political system doesn't allow for the former until 2012, it looks like we're just going to have to hold our noses until the rotting carcass of Mr. Obamination's neighb-a-hood  has run it's course. Let's all just hope we don't all contract typhus from it.

It is possible, however,  and becoming more likely every day that this stinker of a Presidency and it's Democrat bootlickers in Congress might just bury itself. It appears quite capable of doing just that. Barely a day goes by that there isn't another shovel full of dirt that gets heaved onto that rotting political carcass in the form of another mistake in judgement, gaff, or admitted ignorance, or just plain old Democrat hypocrisy reeking of putrid irony.

And this day was no different. The President, (and I used the term loosely), did again what he does best. He took out a few pens and signed another law. Glory hallelujah! Praise be to the great Messiah. He got up, had his morning coffee, admired his image in the toilet bowl and gave away some more of the nation's wealth that we didn't have. So, what's new about that? What's a few more millions or billions when our debt is $13 trillion? Hell, we're so far in debt we'll never be able to pay it off, so why not just party down, bro?!! Grab another brewsky out da fridge and kick back. Have a damn summit, man. Yeah, spread dat wealth!

And, like all the other days when he was giving away money we don't have for shit we don't need, the media made a big deal out of it. Except they didn't explain it quite the way they should have, in terms of adding more debt.  OH, NO. They made it look like he was doing something wonderful, as usual. He said this new law, “puts us clearly on the side of journalistic freedom,”.

Well, hot damn! That is just what we needed, isn't it? After all, who reads the Constitution and Bill of Rights anymore anyhow, right?  Eh....psssst.... didn't we already kinda sorta do this with the 1st Amendment... something about freedom of the press?

Apparently, some maggot deep in the bowels of this decaying carcass of an Administration decided the State Department doesn't have enough to do trying to keep turd world countries like Iran from building a nuclear bomb and putting terrorists on the no-fly list. No, they need to be keeping tabs on all the other countries of the world so they don't violate journalistic freedom....in the name of human rights. Yeah, let's not worry about those no-fly lists and expired visas, lets spend more of our time protecting those Al Jazeera reporters running around picking up the latest video tape release of 'Bin Laden Does Manhattan'.

But, here comes the irony. The name of this new law we didn't need is the "Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act".  Yeah, Pearl, as you will recall, was that guy who got his head ceremoniously removed to the peaceful chants of Allah Akbar by a bunch of radical Islamic terrorists - the same radical Islamic terrorists that the Obama administration refuses to call radical Islamic terrorists, even when it is clearly obvious to every man, woman and child on the face of mommy earth, outside the Obama Administration, that they are, in fact, radical Islamic terrorists.

I am willing to bet my entire life savings that the 'Daniel Pearl Freedom of the Press Act' does not contain the phrase, "radical Islamic terrorists".  Any takers?

Carnac the Magnificent Returns!

Answer: Profiling, unconstitutional and it's written by white racist Republicans.
Question: Name 3 things you don't like about the Arizona immigration law.

We may have lost Johnny to the great Improv in the sky, may he rest in peace, but it's really reassuring to know that Carnac is still walking among us! Yes he is, and doing his act brilliantly and with such clairvoyance that he can determine even without having read it, that a piece of legislation is going to result in racial profiling and is unconstitutional. Well, hell! What do we need the Supreme Court for anyway? Just let Carnac the Magnificent Holder put the “hermetically sealed” bill up to the side of his head and he can tell us everything that is in it and also what it will lead to..... before a single word of it has even gone into effect!
Wow! What brilliant minds we have working for us in the magnificent Obama Administration! Now, if we can just get Mr. Carnac to use some of that clairvoyance of his on the war on terror. He and everyone else in the Administration has decided not to "jump to any conclusions" about the rather obvious connection of radical Islam to all the terrorism going on for the last 50 years. Let’s just ask him to hold the case files of all the terrorist acts committed or attempted to date up to his head and see if he can figure out if radical Islam has anything at all to do with them.

Answer: Ties to radical Islam
Question: What is common to almost every terrorist act committed in the last 50 years?

Can ya try that one, Mr. Holder? I think a child could figure it out, or even a rookie cop, so it shouldn’t be too hard for the Nation’s top law enforcement official like you.
