I'm no conspiracy theorist, but.....



This oil rig disaster is just a wee bit too much of a coincidence, don't ya think? Just a bit too convenient for the tree huggin' enviros who have been going cuckoo for cocoa nuts at the very thought of offshore drilling. The Obama 4th Reich is on the verge of having an energy epiphany, a come to Jesus meetin' with the cold hard realities of our Islam controlled oil dependence and is starting to at least mouth the words, kinda, of off-shore drilling and now, KABOOM!! - all of a sudden we have the worst oil spill since the Exxon Valdez right off the coast of the Nation's best beach and fishing spots? - and Haliburton is involved in it? This is an absolute conspiracy nut enviro wackjob wet dream come true!

A Hollyweird script writer couldn't have dreamed up a better disaster flick. It has all the elements necessary to keep the average mush brained social activist glued to her couch, literally repelling in mortal fear at the thought of the environmental catastrophe unfolding before her puffy, pot filled eyes. It has the villain- the big oil company. It has the victim - the defenseless, helpless environment, mommy Earth and all it's cuddly wuddly creatures. It has intrigue. Could it have been sabotage? And best of all, it has politics. Oh boy.

It also has all the same elements, unfortunately, to keep the news media on super hype overdrive 24/7.….for months and years. Fox Snooze is all over it, of course. It’s the friggin’ mother of all mediagasms. The “Shep” is calling it, well, the worst catastrophe since the beginning of, well, mankind!!! It will last, well,  for years!!! It will destroy the entire fishing industry of the entire southern United States...well...FOREVER!!!! Maybe the entire ATLANTIC COAST! AARRGH!!!!!

......And now for a commercial break.....and when we come back, well, more CATASTROPHE IN THE MAKING!!!!!!! (cue really dramatic music and  oily dead bird graphics).

Well, it is bad. The media hype, and the spill too. Have you ever tried to babe watch on a beach with little globules of oily tar all over? It gets in your toes, on your sand shovel...on your beer can, your mirror shades. Up your ass....OK, I can't really attest to that last item, but I suspect it would. And, let's not forget the poor, helpless creatures….and their filthy, oily bikinis! OH!

So, how did it actually catch on fire? There are survivors. Can they talk? Why haven't they been questioned? Well, of course they have been questioned, so the question should be why haven't we heard what they said? Oh yeah, there's been an investigation launched. Obama sent a SWAT team down there to arrest anyone that looks like a rich Tea Bagger and to gather evidence of regulation violations by Haliburton.  (cue evil villain music). Our esteemed Secretary of Homeland inSecurity, Janet “the system worked” Napolitano is oh her way down there to survey the situation. I expect her to report any time now that the system worked and that everything is under control….and eh, “does anyone have a Happy Meal or a donut? I’m starved!”

I don’t know about everyone else out there, but I just get this warm and fuzzy feeling of security and well being every time I see that woman approach the microphone and brief the country on how the government is doing all it can to protect us. She is a real …..piece of work.

The Liberty gal has a new message......

Someone at the Clintonista State Department thought she needed an upgrade. It now reads, "Welcome to northern Mexico",  in Spanish.

The Feds: "Don't Call Us, We're Too Busy.... But don't do anything yourselves either"

The riots have begun. The ACLU law scum have begun their attacks. And all this because the good people of Arizona demanded of their legislators the protection they are sworn to provide.
Fox News’ Geraldo is on the case, nostrils flaring, his silk pantalones on fire, chomping at the bit to get a little more face time defending his most beloved Latino brotherhood from the abuses of a tyrannical regime of white racists. He proclaimed that he is afraid that he will be arrested if he were to walk down the street because he looks Hispanic. If stupid and over dramatization were a crime, he would surely get arrested.

And of course, Al (not so) Sharpton is burning rubber all the way to Phoenix to get his little piece o dat action.  Earth to Al: wrong color, man. This ain't your gig, even if Geraldo has you on his show every night to throw the race card out there and inflame the ignorant La Raza crowd. He's as dumb as you are. Stay in the Bronx and pimp your racism where you might actually find some takers, like, down at the New York Times.

"Opponents cite a 2005 ruling by a New Hampshire judge who dismissed trespassing charges against illegal immigrants,..."

So, there ya have it. Our fate as a sovereign nation and the State’s right to protect our borders from an invading horde is once again in the hands of the black robed all-knowing constitutional scholars who can find meaning in the most obscure minutia of legal precedent that can contort even the most simple concept into a bizarre, complex and mind numbing opinion. Consequently, there is just no telling how this will come out. One thing is for sure, it won’t make much sense to the average person, will have little resemblance to anything in the Constitution and if past performance is any indication, it won’t be good for the vast majority of the American people.

Why you ask? The "supremacy clause" and "doctrine of pre-emption" says so! Yeah, there’s that New Hampshire case, you know, and eh, the commerce clause and Santa clause too. So just sit back and wait for the Feds to do something about that drug war on your borders. It’s not your problem. Regulating immigration is the sole jurisdiction of the US federal government, by God! Not that it really says so in the Constitution, in so many words, but a couple hundred years of black robe deciphering of the founding father’s secret code has found plenty of reason to believe it does. So, it does.

It does until the People rise up and amend the Constitution to say exactly what it should have said the first time - that the States are not subservient hand puppets of the Federal government and have the right and duty to protect themselves. But, doesn’t it already kinda say that?

OH, tut tut.... Pay no attention to the little man behind the curtain! The black robes will decide for you what it says and doesn’t say. And right now, they say you have no rights concerning those pesky, insignificant border jumpers, no matter what they do. You let the Feds handle everything. They’ll take care of the problem when they get damn good and ready. Until then, enjoy your free health care and unlimited unemployment benefits. Oh, and by the way, there will be 60 days of games in the Coliseum by decree of Cesar to celebrate the new VAT tax! Hail Cesar!

Is it just dejavu I'm feeling or was Rome overrun by barbarian hordes about this time in their history too?

Congratulations Arizona !

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law the SB 1070 legislation that will finally stop liberal city councils from creating sanctuaries for illegal immigrants. It also directs cops to determine the immigration status of persons they have reasonable suspicion to believe are not in the country legally.

The rabid liberals and race based hate groups are naturally going bonkers. La Raza and the ACLU and every other racist and anti-American organization is promising to file law suits to tie it up in the liberal controlled courts and probably will be successful at doing just that. The Clintons knew what they were doing when they spent all 8 years of their reign of tyranny packing the courts with communist sympathizers and ACLU law scum.
Anyone with an ounce of Hispanic heritage is outraged. Before a single vehicle stop has been made under the new law, the entire population of people with black hair and brown eyes that may or may not actually speak a word of Spanish are running around the streets screaming about racial profiling and being scared to death that they are going to be all rounded up and deported, just because they don't need tanning salons and happen to drive low-riders and listen to labamba music. AH, THE HUMANITY!!!

Well, before you all have heart attacks worrying that you'll be picked up and deported while lawfully driving to the grocery store for more frijoles and salsa, take a look at the wording of the new law, OK?
It says that cops must have a "reasonable suspicion" that you are here illegally. If you are in fact here illegally, and you all know very well what that actually means, you should be worried if you also do something stupid like drive around without registration or commit some other violation that draws attention to your bright colored chevy.

Hint: Those of you here illegally, you might consider dumping those clothes you've been wearing for the last 6 months and look about 10 years out of style. It's a dead give-away. Don't hang out on the corner with all the other day labor guys and at least try to pick up a few words of English like, "My name is George Washington Carver and I was born in Phoenix, Officer".

Are You Taxed Enough Yet?

 
President Obama doesn't think so. In fact, he thinks we should be down on our knees thanking him for giving us all a little tax cut this year. Somehow I don't feel like my taxes went down this year. Being on a pension, I didn't qualify for the "making work pay" deduction, because the IRS doesn't consider pensions to be earned income. If I sell an old lawn mower in my garage sale, THAT'S considered earned income, but not my company pension that I worked all my life to get!


Somehow I slipped through the cracks and didn't qualify for any of the other tax breaks for which I'm supposed to be so grateful. Plus, the “historic” President didn’t consider that we Tea Baggin’ Americans are not just talking about the federal income taxes, we’re talking about ALL the taxation that we’re living under. The total tax burden on the 53% of Americans who actually pay Federal income taxes is crushing us, wrecking the economy and jeopardizing our national sovereignty.

When you add it all up, all the taxes we pay, from sales tax to car tabs, it’s easier to understand why most Americans can’t figure out where they spent all their income last year. Where did it all go??? Well, let’s take a looky…..

1. Federal Income Tax, (including self-employment tax if applicable)

2. Capital Gains Tax

3. County Property Tax

4. Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)

5. Medicare Tax

6. Sales Tax (State)

7. Sales Tax (City)

8. School Tax

9. Social Security Tax, (and then that tax is taxed as income when you start collecting it)

10. State Income Tax

11. Telephone 911 Service Tax (some states)

12. Telephone Federal Excise Tax

13. Vehicle Registration Tax

14. Various fuels taxes, gasoline, diesel, etc

15. Utility Tax, (other than telephone taxes)

16. Workers Compensation Tax

Now, of course this list does not include all the various state and local user fees, licenses, taxation of businesses and manufacturers, corporate taxes, death taxes and sin taxes, which of course get passed down to us, the consumers in the form of higher prices. And let’s not forget luxury taxes on certain “rich folk” stuff like boats and planes and whatever else the Marxist government decides is a “luxury item“.

And how much does it total up to? Who knows? It depends on how much you’re worth and how much you spend or use and where you live and most of all, how clever your tax accountant is, but estimates range anywhere from 40 - 60% of income for the average Joe Schmuck American.

The fact of the matter is, the average American citizen is getting royally screwed by a corrupt, Marxist tax system and doesn’t even realize it or care enough to stand up and fight for his rights to liberty and prosperity earned by his own labor. The politicians will not listen and the courts seem unable to untwist their minds from the legal contortions of precedent, designed to maintain the status quo, and which have the effect of enslaving an entire populous to a bloated, inefficient and fraudulent government, drunk on their own totalitarian power to tax and spend at will.

It says here....

When I was in college I had a professor who would start each class holding up the newspaper and pointing to it as he said: "It says here...". And, then he'd read the article from which he'd segue into his lesson of the day.

Well, “it says here”…. , “Air ban led by flawed computer models”. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0821cc00-4bb5-11df-9db6-00144feab49a.html

Apparently, the European Union authorities' decision to ban all air traffic was based on nothing but pure hype and over reaction. Sounds to me like the kind of thing governments normally do. Sounds an awful lot like the global warming scam. No real, actual science to it, just a lot of hot air, speculation and panic, mixed with some down right conspiratorial politics and totalitarian socialism. This is also the same EU whose member countries embrace all sorts of socialist ideas including single payer (government) health care.

The upside of all those stranded travelers sleeping in terminals for no good reason, is that maybe they’ll start to have second thoughts about this orwellian European Union that has such unaccountable power over every aspect of life. One mistake like this can do serious damage to the economy and bankrupt companies in a hurry. With the EU economies teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and chaos themselves, they can’t afford to make mistakes based on flawed computer models.

It reminds me of the way governments reacted to the mad-cow episode. Based on mere suspicion and out right fear of the unknown, they ordered the mass slaughter of livestock at a cost of god-knows-how-much to the industries affected and the tax payers as well, through higher prices for everything from leather goods to meat products and higher government costs to oversee the slaughter. If livestock owners were reimbursed, care to guess who paid for that?

Is it any wonder socialist governments all over the world are going bankrupt? Hey, Earth to politicians, try Capitalism and freedom. IT WORKS!
