Soaking the constitution in gasoline and lighting it on fire

This Drudge linked article is very disturbing to me. The legislators are using this Tuscon massacre to tear away at the second amendment. Frankly, I expected this. I was not surprised by this knee jerk reaction. The part of the article that truly disturbed me comes in a paragraph a little ways down. It reads as follows:

"Pennsylvania Rep. Robert Brady, a Democrat from Philadelphia, told CNN that he also plans to take legislative action. He will introduce a bill that would make it a crime for anyone to use language or symbols that could be seen as threatening (emphasis mine) or violent against a federal official, including a member of Congress."

Let me get this straight. So you Mr. Brady want it so that if I flip off a federal bureaucrat, I can be arrested?  How about if I carry around a Gadsden flag in view of a federal official? Is that a symbol you find threatening? Will I be arrested then? How about the color Yellow? Can I wear yellow ... or is that color too closely associated with the Gadsden flag. Can I just tell a bureaucrat to "piss off" or do I have to use an actual swear word to get arrested? How about the Stars and Stripes? Is that OK? Can I still carry that around? What if a federal official stumbles across this blog and sees the Gadsden flag ... and then gets offended or feels threatened ... will I be arrested then?

Mr. Brady. I will be curious to read the constitutional basis for this bill you will be introducing. I am curious to find out how you will be able to defend your actions in light of that little thing called ... THE FIRST AMENDMENT! Knock, Knock, Knock. Anybody home?

Mr. Brady. You are a jackass! Do you find  that word threatening or violent?

The real tragedy (with no disrespect to the victims), is that one man with a gun has muted the free speech of millions of Americans. How? Congress has delayed the business of the American people. Congress has been muted for a solid week, preventing themselves from exercising the free speech of the people who spoke on November 2, 2010.

The Tuscon Tragedy

Let me extend my condolences to all the victims and their families. This heartless, thoughtless, evil act deserves the condemnation of all peace loving, free Americans. Let us all pray for the the speedy and full recovery of Gabby Giffords and all or the other survivors. Let us say a prayer for those who have lost a loved one. Let us say a special prayer for the Green family. They lost a lovely nine year old daughter ... such a young life so senselessly cut short.

As I knew would happen, various groups on the left have blamed talk radio, Fox news, and the Tea Party movement in general for causing this horrible tragedy. It appears that Jared Loughner was a disconnected and disturbed individual. I find it appalling that blame is so easily tossed around.

It appears that Miss Giffords was one of the incumbent congressional members that was politically targeted on Sarah Palin's web site last spring. It is being inferred now (as it was then) that this was a veiled call for violence on the part of Sarah Palin. It was not! Miss Giffords was involved in a very contentious race with Iraq vet Jesse Kelly. Miss Giffords won by a mere 4,000 votes. Mr. Kelly was a Tea Party favorite. So naturally, her political detractors and political enemies are being blamed by the media and by Sheriff Clarence Dumpnik. This is both irrational and irresponsible.

As one of the original pre-cursors and one of the original voices of the Tea Party movement, I wholeheartedly reject these insinuations. Let me assure you; the Tea Party is about ballots not bullets. We spoke loud and clear as a nation on November 2. We will not be silenced by the rhetoric of those who will use such a tragedy as a weapon to mute the voices of millions of law abiding, God fearing, patriotic Americans. Blame will be assigned when Mr. Loughner meets his final judgment ... sometime after he takes his final breath. It is not for us to decide.

 "Except Obama! Except Obama!"

That's what happened when a New Jersey congressman read the natural born citizen clause of the constitution. A woman in the gallery said those words after the first sentence was read. But she did not just blurt it out. She said this with a conviction that is gut-stirring. This whole thing will be brushed under the rug .... some "crazy" birther got in and disrupted the proceedings. Another "Joe Wilson" out of control ... just another hater gone crazy.

But there is more. If you listen closely the woman says, "My name is Theresa ...." As soon as she was about to utter her last name the booming voice of the man with the gavel overrode the sound of the woman's voice. I just found the video on politico . Politico does note that she screamed her name. However, she was trying to say her whole name. This is a significant nuance. This doesn't sound like a random birther that slipped in between the cracks. This sounds like a person who knows something. She is willing to give the full testament of her first and last name. She is voicing that her message represents a personal account of knowing the truth. Theresa is a whistleblower. Theresa is a brave woman!

Back to the core

Here we go: back to the core ... back to the document. Thank you 112th congress.

National Guard

Picking up on the audio of O'reilly in the other room ... they're talking about the border. My view: Put nothing less than the full force of the U.S. military at the southern border. Establish multiple field stations. Establish a few field hubs a few miles back from the field stations. These would serve as well guarded supply stations. Here you could mix in air support (via helipads and choppers), chow units, and M.A.S.H. unit capabilities. You then get the State National Guard to protect the buffer zone between the homeland and the back flank of the U.S. Military. The State National Guard could then help coordinate with a strong network of the Citizen Militia. To get the infrastructure set up, you bring in some returning Iraq and Afghanistan vets. Bring in some strong field commanders to develop the units and cross train with the and State guard units. Basically turn the border area into a string of strong efficient military bases.

Caligula in a silk robe

This article about Hugh Hefner is a barn burner! The article paints Hef as an authoritarian gang banger with Quaaludes in one hand and Viagra in the other, having condom free sex orgies, living in a pissed over mansion, with animals crapping all over the outdated furniture and floors. Then ... allowance day ... creepy!

With Viagra Hugh can re-live1966 when he was a young stud at the age of 40 ;~) Man .... he is getting up there. Caligula only lived a scant 28 years.

As Shelly, the House Bunny says, "just remember girls, the eyes are the 'nipples' of the face." That line just cracked me up when I first saw the movie.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to one and all!

I must let you know that I rung in the new year while having a conversation with one of my political enemies. No bother ... It was pure delight to not have to say much beyond re-confirming my staid beliefs. It strikes me now that the incoming freshmen must take a strong early stand. NO RAISING OF THE DEBT CEILING ... without considerable concessions ... and I mean CONSIDERABLE concessions. Threaten bankruptcy! Ah shoot that would play right into the hands of George Soros. No matter ... it must be done.

Look! ... the Moody's bond rating for U.S. debt is already in place for a downgrade. Use the Moody's threat as political cover. No harm ... this is politics! The health care mandates alone will tip the scale toward a bond rating downgrade. A potential downgrade of U.S. bond debt is a huge threat to our viability. This legitimate threat can be used as a  leveraging mechanism. Tea Party favorable House freshmen take note. This drives the legitimate political argument for austerity measures in perpetuity! ... and beginning soon!

------------------------------------------------------

Except in the case of the military, I loathe the whole GS scale ... government pay scheme ... subsidizing people to willingly underachieve. I don't blame the people victimized by bureaucracy or treat them as the culprits. I blame the structure of  bureaucracy itself as the perpetrator of the crime. Spreading the blame of inefficiency is much easier when everyone's duties overlap and there is no single culprit to identify. This is the nature of the beast.

------------------------------------------------------

For years Robert Kiyosaki has been talking about the shift from defined benefit retirement packages to self funded retirement packages. We see how American private business had to make that shift in order to survive. We see how the government refuses to make that shift. This congress must start forcing that shift. The answer is not for the U.S. to declare bankruptcy. The answer is to declare certain government agencies bankrupt. Reorganize the agency and hire people that specialize in efficiency. Institute ample matching funds for those folks that want to sock away money in their self-funded retirement plans. Remember the good old days when working for the government was a downer compared to a high flying career in the private sector ... those Mad Men kind of days. Funny and scary how that has flipped.

------------------------------------------

Random Thought:

A bill should be introduced to cut corporate taxes to some ridiculously low level ... like 15% ... and make Obama defend his veto. It's time to be aggressive ...

-----------------------------------------

Back to the New Year festivities: I spoke later (Bud Light to Bud Light) to my good friend about the upcoming presidential race. He and I actually agreed that if Sarah Palin runs against Obama ... Obama will be a two term president. This is the friend that I wrote "The Plea" for ... (see right hand column) ... so he is a legitimate voice of  the independent voter.  I argued that McCain would not have come as close as he did without Sarah Palin. He argued that McCain lost because of Sarah Palin.

He may have a point ... the old guard picked the new guard to run with him ... too much dichotomy ... I respect that point of view. I still firmly believe she should be energy secretary in the cabinet of a less "Aw shucks" kind of Republican candidate.

This is not a dig on Sarah Palin whatsoever ... I would love to meet her some day. In no uncertain terms, Alaska is on my bucket list. Nothing would make me happier than to spend a summer in Alaska ... playing eighteen holes of golf at midnight! ... hiking up to a broad vista ... enjoying the meditation of the beauty of a glacial stream. It all appeals. I love the ruggedness of the atmosphere. I love getting that natural rush. I remember getting that rush when I first saw Sedona, when I passed through Dillion on my way to Vail, when I jumped into a lagoon near Honolulu. So, Alaska would be a great adventure.

My point about Patlin: I just think that, while America (on the whole) accepts Sarah Palin's premise of self determination, America does not accept her articulation. Her "Aw shucks" delivery is fine with me ( I find it endearing) ... but it tends to spoil with the swing voter, who is itching to find fault. A large percentage of American opinion is still built on hearsay and convenient negative distortion. The media hates optimism and paints it as backwardness and naivete'. This is why the media from the get go, with near rabid determination, set out to destroy America's first impression of Mrs. Palin. She has way too much common sense.

I can just picture the eco-terrorist loons climbing the walls while watching her reality show. She's cutting trees down, hunting with a nice 7 mag, fishing the waters, and pushing fossil fuel development ... things they hate. I wouldn't doubt that half of her demographic consists of a bunch of liberals tuning in for a good hate fest! Sometimes it's fun to just make yourself laugh.


The hatred by the left and moderates is so sharp ... it reminds me of my own distaste for Hillary!

The Cleptocrats

CLEPTOCRATS!

This is how Mark Steyn refers to the depraved public sector unions for deliberately slowing down snow removal service in New York City.

Steyn ... brilliant as ever!

The failure of big government ... more specifically, the failure of a unionized government! ... allowing the denial of emergency services for the commoners ... blood on their hands! Shame.

--------------------------------------------------

Steyn interviews Walter E. Williams ... Brilliance meets Brilliance! .... What?! does it sound like I'm sucking up to the right?  ... too bad ...


...  they are both correctly understand how the welfare state subsidizes bad behavior. ... how taxation destroys supply ... how subsidies create unnatural excess.

Caller says: "Sulphur Dust .. buy this to cleanup a broken highly toxic mercury laden compact fluorescent bulbs. Take off gold jewelry ... since mercury will bind to gold."


We have to add these two to the fourteen other steps one must do to clean up a broken CFL.

"... the dismal glow of a CFL" 


How is it we allowing this potential introduction of poison into the homes of America to be an acceptable trade off for simply using less electricity? ... or having the freedom to choose the warm glow of an Edison bulb?


I think that the people in charge of this ridiculous scheme have been exposed ... TO MERCURY!

The Bluff

Someone brought up to me the story of the Hawaiian governor vowing to release Obama's birth certificate. He wants to vindicate Obama. He wants to show once and for all that Obama was really born in Hawaii. I noted that the governor is bluffing in his supposed willful determination to make public Obama's birth certificate. It is against the law for him to dig.

Although I don't know a lot of the details of the Terry Lakin trial, I do believe he was the victim of a kangaroo court. This guy got railroaded for even questioning Obama's status.

The whole birth certificate conflagration is a complete misdirection play anyway. The issue is that Obama is a dual citizen. Many of Obama's formative years took place as a citizen of Indonesia.

Citizenry involves developing one's allegiance to the homeland. This does not happen when one has been schooled in the international scene (especially in those crucial formative grade school years) ... in time developing a pining for the little missions of youth.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This is why Obama is so focused on fulfilling the mission of his father, which was, Marxist revolution. His separation from his father helped turn Obama's fascination (and possible despair) with his fathers absence into an apparition of a laudable ideology. After all, to him, the mission must be really important if it keeps a father from his son.

The paradox is that the ideology, and the application of it, has proven time and time again that it is an unsustainable path of wealth destruction and future instability. Marxism is a pure waste of human capital ... corrosion of the soul ... tithing to the State ... for the chance of distributed blessings. For Obama, this is irrelevant. His outlook is forged by his idealized vision of his father's mission. Let me assure you ... that mission is not consistent with the vision of the founding fathers.

The constitutional requirement for natural born citizenship was written exactly for someone like Mr. Obama. The wisdom of the forefathers is constantly unfolding.

Politifact equals Politifarce

Thank you Wall Street Journal for debunking and rebutting Politifacts conjecture that the biggest lie of the year was the phrase, "government takeover of healthcare." In the Plain Dealer coverage of the issue a couple of days ago, they skewered wordsmith Frank Luntz for coming up with the phrase.

Politifarce is short-sighted in its view. While it is true that the means of production have not been confiscated by the government, the facts are that the capitalistic environment has been damaged. The government is setting up a situation whereby the private delivery of health services will "whither on the vine." Then the government can demonize the private industry and provide a convenient solution.

Here is just another example of how the authoritarians create a crisis in order to provide a solution.

Oh. Merry Christmas!

.... goodbye free speech ... kind of like this

This is the perfect example of bye bye free speech in America.

"What? This guy is critical of the government? Investigate him! ... and of course take his gun away!" Thank you Big Sis Janet!

..."The regulators, regulating the stipulations of the bureaucracy, as outlined by the directive, as handed down by the bureau chief, as passed on by the panel of regulators, issuing a plan, deemed legitimate by the study committee, as ordered to convene by the conference" ... Blah, blah, blah.

The result to the taxpayer: "That will come to two billion dollars sir ... and oh, give me your gun!"

SCCRRREEEEEWWWWWWWW
YOOUUU
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thank you Matt Drudge ... where would we be without you.

Mark Steyn

Brilliant, humorous, satirical, insightful. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe Mark Steyn. He filled in for Rush the past two days. There is no glitch in the system when Rush takes a break. Steyn even transfers well to television. He recently hosted for Hannity, and I think he performed admirably. He looks like boxer ready to get into the ring; he then destroys the opponent with charm. This guy's star is burning brighter and brighter.

The point is, beyond the talents of people like Steyn, he and Rush and others reflect the thoughts of a large swath of America. They are not brainwashing us ... we are choosing them to articulate our firm beliefs (common law principles, rule of law, limited government, low taxation, fewer regulations, etc.). Steyn destroys the ability of the Left to label people like me a "Dittohead." This is why the corporatists and statists like Mignon Clayburn want to regulate the internet. Free market competition has given rise to an amazing thing called the Internet. The government could never have built such a thing. True, the internet started out as a military communication system. But had the government maintained complete control of the internet as it came out of the lab, we would still be years and years behind where we are today.

Speaking of the regulatory drag that government imposes, Steyn brought up a brilliant point yesterday. He said, "the only qualification you need to be a regulator is to know how to regulate." Then he went on to read the resume' of Mignon as she rose through the regulatory ranks. This is why what the FCC is doing is so dangerous. IT MUST BE STOPPED! The machine has created a problem out of thin air in order to create a solution ... free speech is treading dangerously folks! He referred to Mignon Clyburn and her father the "House of Lords of bureaucrats." He is right. This is how the micro regulation of all things emerges ... it is not a nascent arising. It is nepotism, the constant overlap of regulatory responsibilities, and duplication of services. PURE AND SIMPLE.

---------------------------------

Steyn used the word mellifluous yesterday. It is not a word that emerges in an everyday conversation. But it certainly rolls off the tongue as if it were onomatopoeia. It turns out that it is? ... oh, the beauty of the language! As someone interested in wordsmithing, I find the unfamiliar to be a challenge. The word, in short, means "sweet sounding."

Someone called in and recommended Steyn to be press secretary in a 2013 Republican administration. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE! That would truly be blockbuster entertainment. Steyn has a teflon coating and razor sharp wit. He would drive the left to insanity! ... where they belong!

Steyn has a vivid command of the language and an ability to string a cogent phrase together on the fly. That's quite a talent.

During the show, he brought up the Diane Sawyer interview with Big Sis, Clapper, and Brennan. These are the people in charge of fighting terrorism. Look at Clapper when Sawyer asks him about the twelve arrests in London that day. This is disturbing. The head on national security is completely unaware ....

Palin goes grizzly on Michelle

I have been watching the Palin reality show ... I must confess. Alaska has always been a fascination to me. As a child, I remember wondering exactly how big it is. I remember seeing how the Mercator projection distorts the size of the real estate as the map moves away from the equator. But it is still a really, really vast expanse. I would love to spend a summer there ... I'll put that on the bucket list.

I guess there is a big controversy now. Palin took Michelle to the mat with an offhanded comment she made about Michelle wanting us to start avoiding desert. At the time, I thought the comment was funny. Apparently this was all the talk on The View today ... darn! I missed it. ... that was sarcasm folks.

Here's the point: If Sarah Palin wants to give her own kids Smores, that is up to Sarah Palin. It is pure hypocrisy for Michelle Obama to advocate that the government should take over those parenting decisions. It is just wonderful to see Michelle tending to her vegetable garden ... but only if you realize that it is pure theatrics ... something this dictatorship is quite good at. In reality, Barack is sneaking cheeseburgers out of the Whitehouse pantry and the whole family ritualistically shovels down ice cream while on many of their many vacations. Government wisdom is for the "little people" like you and me.

Ah the "tyranny of the regulatory state" .... as Mark Steyn would say!

Recent thoughts on Palin: She has more true grit than 90% of Americans alive today. She is like the cool Mom of your good friend in high school. She is a perfect example of the modern feminist ... except that she doesn't advocate murdering the unborn and she has an optimistic outlook on life.

Should she run for president?

I'm going to say no. She should only run if Hillary Clinton challenges Obama for the 2012 nomination. Even then, it would be dicey.

Palin is tainted. Let's not mince words. Just as Obama taints the office of the presidency by going on shows like "Mythbusters," Palin diminishes her presidential cred by doing reality shows. Palin would suffer against Obama because the sitting president (with the backing of the media) would use sexism to diminish her. She also would be marginalized for failing to finish out her term as Governor. This doesn't mean that Palin has diminished her brand. I'm bullish on that. Her brand screams of self-reliance, perseverance, stick-to-it-ivness, toughness, grit, and optimism. This is something America needs more than ever. I believe it was James Carville who said, "If Hillary loaned Obama one of her balls, Obama would have one and she would be left with two". Well I think Palin could spare a whole extra set! I know you goof balls on the left are screaming ... but who cares? ... not me! I think Palin qualities would be best implemented with her as Energy Secretary in a Tea Party friendly administration. Who will that candidate be? I'm not sure yet.

I like Chris Christie's swagger ... but he is governor of a left wing state. Any breath of conservatism is amplified because of the hostile nature of the environment in which it exists. I like John Thune. I like the business sense of Mitt Romney ... but I don't think he could ever live down the health care debacle in Massachusetts. Mike Pence is solid. I like Paul Ryan, the budget hawk. I like Bobby Jindal ... but I can't get over that clammy Republican response speech he gave after Obama's State of the Union Address. He is definitely not teleprompter friendly. The question is, "Who is the next Ronald Reagan? Palin possesses the optimism, but she suffers from a level of high camp (teasingly ingenuous and sentimental) that fifty percent of America will never get over.

The FCC

The FCC is going to impose net neutrality. This is the snowball being kicked off the edge of the mountain. In time, we will have an avalanche that will bury our notion of free speech. This IS the beginning of the slippery slope! WAKE UP!

The internet is the perfect example of what happens when you allow freedom to be the dominant force in a society. Whole industries grow, expand, and become powerful. This is exactly what the government HATES! ... this government anyway.

Here is a perfect example of the government trying to fix a problem that DOES NOT exist!

We are dealing with a group of radicals. They must be defeated.

Moral argument against taxes

Income is a form of private property. This is the singular fundamental argument.

I agree Rush.

The government hates private property.

I knew this when I was six years old. This is because we still taught American exceptional-ism  way back in the 1960's when I was in grade school. We actually learned about the founding fathers back then. We actually learned about the words, "We the people" and what that meant. We learned about why the government was set up to be limited in its scope.

John Adams quote:

"The moment the idea is admitted into society that property is not as
sacred as the law of God, and that there is not a force of law and
public justice to protect it, anarchy and tyranny commence.".

You don't have to buy something in order to convert private money into private property.

This is a pure and salient point. This is not rocket science. Every American should realize that just because we have lived with corporatism and a shift toward corporate statism (OK, technically they are the same thing), it does not mean we have no redress. Does anyone get this? Taxation argues against the idea of private property. The government takes the stand that the individual is participating in an economy whereby each one is dipping into the common pool of mothers milk. However, this authoritarian administration goes even further. This administration believes that they themselves should have their hands wrapped around the udder of the cow ... and they will decide how to pass around the squirts of the mothers milk. This administration has it exactly backwards. It is the exact opposite of what the founding father envisioned. WAKE UP!

What is next? ... sliding scales for speeding tickets? Fines will be determined on your ability to pay.

This is the mentality of the Left. This notion is a provocative thought. But based on the logic of the Left, this makes perfect sense. If the government can increase the fine on wealth creation (via progressive taxes ... the more you make the more they take), what would stop it from employing a similar method when doling out fines for speeding tickets? This plays along the lines that the government owns all property and that we citizens simply are bestowed the honor of tapping into it for a while. The Loony Left views you and me (the unwashed masses) like it views wildlife. We are to be managed and controlled. We need to be processed through the life cycle. This is why the Democrats are so up in arms about raising the estate tax to ONLY 35%. If they had their way, everyone would just make the government the beneficiary of his or her estate. After-all, it's not really your money. This is really how these idiots think!!

It's kind of like this land management bill that is being pushed under the radar. The government wants to scoop up thousands and thousands of acres and prevent economic activity from taking place on these lands. After-all, according to them, there really shouldn't be any such thing as private property. The government is just re-claiming what is rightfully part of its domain.

It's like this outrageous omnibus spending bill. This congress refused to pass a budget by October (as mandated by law), and now they want to dump a 1.4 Trillion Dollar spending bill on the laps of Americans three days before the end of the session. And why is this omnibus spending bill originating with Harry Reid? ... All spending bills are supposed to originate in the House. This government is operating outside of the constitution. Harry Reid wants to commit one more giant act of thievery before the new congress is seated. The government has already stolen the wealth of your grandchildren and your great grandchildren ... now it is going after your great-great grandchildren!

The preceding is a paraphrasing of a late segment of Rush.

The premise of his comments are in regular font.

My comments are in bold.

Government Thievery!

Government Thievery! That's what it is!! The more I see of this tax bill, the less and less I like it. As a matter of fact I hate it! And now here comes another two thousand page spending bill ... all dressed up with lard and waste. It comes out to almost 600 million dollars PER PAGE. This is exactly what we voted against  .... EXACTLY!! what we voted against just last month. In the spring, I wrote about what would be happening in this lame duck ... and yes ... it's all true. It is the dems that are holding the continuation of the tax rates hostage. Remember ... Liberals always accuse the other side of doing precisely what they themselves do.

I will be calling every Republican to plead with them to vote against this bill. Don't let the Democrats twist our agenda of smaller government by allowing them to use the throwing of a bone to the wealthy as a high stakes sweetener. Don"t fall for the bait!

Meeting Glenn Beck

It was a pleasure to meet Glenn Beck tonight at the Strongsville Walmart. He signed my copy of Broke and my new copy of The Christmas Sweater. I would have liked to have had a brief conversation with him, but I didn't want to hold up the line. I did mention that I was one of those bloggers and slipped him a note with the Fishyspeech address on it. I hope he stops by. Here is what I would have said if I could have had a minute to chat.

1. People tell me that he and I could have been separated at birth. People tell me quite often that I look like Glenn Beck.

2. That I will always remember meeting him on the day that Judge Henry Hudson deemed that Obamacare is unconstitutional. Hooray! This makes me very happy.

3. That he really should be covering the birther issue. The kangaroo court that Terry Lakin is being subjected to is an outright assault on justice and fairness. I understand why Beck is avoiding the birther issue ... but this is a legitimate constitutional issue. It deserves some attention.

4. That I wish I was meeting S.E. Cupp instead of him ;~)   (see previous post)

Nothing suprises me anymore

After struggling with unemployment for a good stretch, and becoming a living parable of everything I detest, I have snapped up another job in the service industry.

After watching myself fall into a slothful and lazy lifestyle, I realized that I had to snap myself out of it. It is a fact of human nature that, by accepting the government dole, the rugged individual is pushed toward inertia and inaction ... this is the nature of things. The government squeezes another drop of heroin-like subsistence into my veins ... and before you know it, I'm addicted.They shouldn't do that to me ... It only gives me time to think about a new revolution.

So now ... I am back to work ... delving into a true aesthetic in life ... fine yet simple participation ... like art ... focusing on the composition of space ... through time ... the space between the notes is as much a part of the music as the notes themselves ... all is flowing ... there is beauty in the world ... a Lester Burnham moment (American Beauty). This is my state.

This makes me think of art ... here is one piece I am proud to own ... an original Ian Clark.

This makes me think of another work of art ... I know a lot of people would give me a hard time for this one ... but there is something about S.E Cupp that makes me nuts ... it must be the glasses! I can see how so many left wing women would just absolutely hate her guts. It's kind of a turn on to me ... I can't explain it. I think a date with her would be non-stop laughter and positive vibes ... and a whole lot of sarcasm!

The answer to the full body scan

I cannot take credit for this idea, but when I heard someone relate this to me, I thought it was spot on!

Here is a way to secure the flying public. A bomb proof room is constructed at the airport. The flier is placed in that room. He is then bombarded by a full spectrum radio frequency waves. He is then bombarded by all cell phone frequencies. He is then bombarded by a series of percussion waves. If the flier is packing explosives of any kind ... well ... he'll be blown up on the spot! There you go ... problem solved. You could pass the cargo through a similar type of machine. This is good. The terrorist is killed ... no innocent victims ... no need for a body cavity search!

-----------------------------------------------
Here is a list of the Republicans who voted for the Food Safety Act.  Here is yet another statist bill ... taking away American's rights and placing control of the food supply into the hands of Monsanto and the factory farms it controls. That's it! I decided that I'm going to buy a bunch of goats and I'm going to let them loose in my yard!!

Susan Collins (Maine)
Chuck Grassley (Iowa)
Judd Gregg (NH)

Richard Lugar (Indiana)
Olympia Snowe (Maine)

Lisa Merkowski (Alaska) ... misspelling intentional!

Tea Party conference call

Thank You Jenn Beth Martin for putting this conference call together. All of the six men that spoke on the call were outstanding! Just from the content of the call alone, any one of these six men would be excellent choices.

Republican Study Committee

Jim Jordan (R-OH) This guy is from Ohio ... so I liked him automatically. He sounded very principled and resolute.

Louie Gohmert (R-TX) He said "it's not up to the government to make money for the taxpayers ... that's the taxpayers job." That's brilliant! This guy has a lot of heartfelt passion. You could feel the conviction in his voice.


Energy and Commerce Committee


Both of these guys were outstanding! TPP did an instant poll on who the listeners favored. Here are the results.

Barton 52% Very informative. He sounded pretty solid.
Stearns 34% I liked the comments by Stearns. He seemed more focused on jobs and cutting the capital gains tax. He also seemed more focused on trade issues.


I appreciated hearing the first question for Ellen. She brought up the whole Compact Florescent Bulb issue. That was the same question I had in mind. Thanks Ellen. I too do not see the wisdom of forcing these Mercury Bombs on to the pubic. How does introducing mercury into the environment improve the environment? Why should we expose the public to poison in an effort to reduce the carbon footprint? It's inane and insane.


This brings up Fred Upton. He was not on the call.

Upton 3%... no way! This is the man that gave is compact fluorescent bulbs. He also co-sponsored Cash for Clunkers. No thank you.



Appropriations Committee


Both of the guys for the chair listed below were great! I don't think it would be a mistake to have either of these two as chair of the appropriations committee. Both of these guys are on the same page and will strongly support the other. Either of these two would make a great chair for this all important committee.


Jerry Lewis (R-CA) I forget how he scored ... but obviously it was below 20%
Jack Kingston (R-GA) 80% I'm leaning toward Mr. Kingston. He seemed more succinct and clear in his remarks.

North Korea

When my children were younger, I wanted to find a simple way to explain the difference between free market democracy and closed market totalitarianism. All I had to do was show them a picture like the one below.

 

"Look at North Korea." I would point to where all the darkness is. I would then point to the little dot of light and say, "This is the city where Kim Jong Il lives. He's the dictator of North Korea. He likes to have the lights on for himself. But he doesn't like the lights on for everyone else." Then I would point to South Korea and say, "Look at all the people there that have lights on at night. That place has a lot of freedom and democracy. Which country would you rather live in?" Of course, they both pointed to South Korea.

It's time to give South Korea some nuclear missiles. Either that ... or we're going to have to make some tactical strikes against the North's nuclear capability. I know this opens up a can of worms ... but what else can be done? We can wait for Kim Jong Il to finally kick the bucket and hope that his 27 year old son will be more level headed than his crazy old man. What are the chances? Somebody has to say, "Look Kim Jong, if you continue with this behavior, your wonderful facility with all of your centrifuges ... the one you like to show off to American college professors .... we will reduce it to a pile of ashes. You got it crazy fool?" Unfortunately, Hillary may be a little shy regarding the North Koreans. After all, wasn't all of that appeasing going on with Kim Jong and the transfer of missile technology to China via the Loral corporation going on during her husbands presidential administration? Yes it was. John Bolton ... we need you now.

Hands off my Teabag!

Referencing Bill Maher's propensity to still refer to Tea Party activists as "Tea Baggers," the brilliant Rush Limbaugh came up with a new slogan for the weary masses (especially the masses waiting in line at the airport), "Hands off my Tea Bag!"

Down the line of the monologue, he posed the question,
"How far away is this from Checkpoint Charlie?"

I like this little article by Mark Hemingway

Exactly what I was thinking Rush.

This previous sentence points out a simple truth ... a truth that the left hates. Rush is my ditto head. He is the product of my constitutional American voice. He is the product of the constitutional American voice as a whole. He is exposing how the media coverage of the relatively few invasive incidences committed by the TSA is pumping up a frenzy. This is all done to steer the masses toward the scanners. Excellent point. Oh wait, Rush Limbaugh said that ... again ... he just said what I was thinking. He is my ditto head.

I wonder how much George Soros makes every time someone walks through one of his scanners ... Oh wait ... he only  used to own shares of Rapidscan. I guess he just sold his 11,000 shares last week. I'm still looking for the Hemingway article about it ... but here is another good article by him in regards to Soros.

Don't ever forget folks: We are on the side of the Constitution. Don't ever forget that the rule of law is on OUR side.

P.S. The first caller on Rush gave big Kudos to Mark Steyn and his two day fill in stint at EIB last Thursday and Friday. I completely concur ... as did Rush.

Let the march of the Hijab begin

I decided that I'm going to purchase a bunch of Hijabs and give them away to law abiding American women that are on their way to the airport. Perhaps I'll stake out the "Park and Fly" parking lot to set up my little Hijab stand. Then these law abiding American women can pat themselves down and avoid the invasion of privacy being perpetrated by the TSA. Go ahead ... click on the link to read about how mentally retarded the Federal Government truly is.

Here is a quote from the linked article:

"The head of Homeland Security has indicated the government is considering the request of an Islamic organization that has suggested Muslim women be allowed to pat themselves down during a full body search that is part of new enhanced procedures at airports."

Let me ask you this. What would happen if a blond haired, blue eyed, California girl decided to sport a Hijab as she approached the airport screening area? Would the TSA then profile this blond woman and question whether she was sufficiently "Muslim enough" to be eligible to do the self pat down? I guarantee that this is exactly what would happen. This government is retarded! They would figure out a way to fine the woman!

But hey, either way the "Dictator in Waiting" wins. If he cannot manage to create chaos and violence by shaking down the American public, then he can simply decimate yet another private sector business in the U.S. economy. Bravo!!!! Good job President "Oh Bummer."

Every American female flying this week (Muslim or not) should sport a Hijab.

----------------------------------------------------------

If you get a chance, watch "The Real George Washington" on the National Geographic channel. You will get a look at the real man behind legend. He was quite crafty and courageous.

Mark Steyn

Mark Steyn was brilliant in his opening monologue this past Thursday. He said something along the lines that all 300 million sets of American genitalia are now up for grabs. There's something about Steyn's dry wit with his accompanying British delivery that you can't help but appreciate. He basically announced that the republic was dead. He effortlessly points out how so absolutely backwards this whole thing is ... shakedown grandma and Americans with prosthetic legs ... but don't dare look under the Hijab. Feel up every law abiding citizen ... but ignore that guy flying in from Yemen. Mincing no words, Steyn says that if we accept this we'll accept anything. Where is the probable cause? Should we accept giving away our fourth amendment rights? To me, this whole action is just a trial balloon to condition the masses to accept a leaning towards a police state. Where is the common sense? How about reading the flight manifest? How about checking the "no fly" list? Oh my God .... no .... that would be profiling!

He pointed how planes were driven into buildings on 911 because people followed standard procedure. The only way the fourth plane was thwarted was because of the actions of a group of passengers who would NOT follow standard procedures. They decided to storm the cockpit.

I hear no stories about any new diligence toward cargo inspection. We recently had explosives stuffed into printer cartridges. This plot was thwarted by Saudi intelligence. Do we step up security and inspection of cargo? Noooooo ... we shake down public.

------------------------------------------------------------

But don't worry folks. John Podesta says the president can use executive orders and the armed forces to push through his progressive agenda. Why let the voice of the people get in the way? Right?

Is this acceptable to you?

Not to me!

-----------------------------------------------------------

I realize that my tone may be a bit sarcastic. My tongue may be a bit acidic. I know I may be labeled as a cook fringe guy. Perhaps I should lay off the gas a little bit. Many say I'm like "Glenn Beck" ... just more pissed off. Well let me tell you ... I was like Glenn Beck before Glenn Beck was like Glenn Beck. I was aware of George Soros way back in the day. I have been watching the currency and commodities markets for years and years now. I knew he was a nasty globalist way back in the 1990's. But like many Americans, I never gave a second thought that Soros would actually be ready to follow through. I never followed the trail of bread crumbs leading to his support of one radical left wing organization after another. Think what you will ... but no one person has done more to expose Soros for what he is than Glenn Beck. He's a nut job right? No ... because the real nut jobs are the birthers. Even Glenn Beck won't play the birther card ... well, I will play the birther card. I am not ashamed to be a birther. I believe we have been infiltrated by a usurper ... a changeling. Earlier this year I urged states to pass laws requiring that future presidential candidates prove their constitutional eligibility. It looks like a rep in Texas is making the attempt.

Good for you Leo Berman. Keep up the good work. Over the next year, I will be calling every Republican state representative in states with Republican majorities and Republican governors to urge them to introduce similar bills. Every single possible roadblock must be put in the way of the man-child dictator

An article just came out that says 1 in 5 Americans are mentally ill. I can here the jokes already. Rachel Maddow has probably already made the connection that surely most of the mentally ill are Teabagger friendly. Well I got news for you. My brazen and brusque commentary reflects the thoughts of many more Americans than the media would lead you to think. To me, it is mentally ill to believe that a system of government which has never worked in the past in any country on the planet will suddenly work now.

-------------------------------------------------------

The decision in a New York courtroom this past week shows exactly why enemy combatants should not be tried in civilian courts. Out of 284 counts, Ahmed Ghailani gets nailed on one measly count of conspiring to destroy American buildings. A bunch of evidence gets thrown out because this terrorist was not read his Miranda rights. The evidence that shows he actually purchased the bomb making materials was thrown out. This is a miscarriage of justice. Non-citizen enemy combatants picked up in foreign countries DO NOT have the rights of American citizens ... plain and simple! Military tribunals have been used since the formation of our republic. There is no reason to move away from this form of meting out justice.

Don"t touch my junk

"Don"t touch my junk." You gotta love it! This is what one commercial airline flier said to the TSA agent when he confronted the issue of being subjected to "unreasonable search and seizure." He is flying on a terror target. So I understand the urge by the Feds to have more information ... but at what cost?  Here are the choices: 1) look at my naked body with backscatter radiation, or 2) just grope my whole body ... and my junk! Meanwhile CAIR comes out and demands that for women wearing the Hijab, the TSA screener should only touch the neck.

That's supposed to be reasonable?! buzzzzzzzzzz ....wrong!

So he walks away from his flight ,,, boom! his loss ... walk away. Oh? That's not good enough for you Mr. Federal government. Now you want to fine him $10,000? What crime did he commit by refusing to fly under your intrusive conditions. He walked away from a planned trip,  his money for the ticket refunded ... and yet this is not good enough for you? You want to fine him because what? ... he had a bad attitude about it? Nooooo ... he left a secure area ... so now he is whaaaat?  ... a terror suspect? Yet Napolitano is being pressured to make exceptions for the sake of the sensitivities of Muslims. This is outrageous!  THIS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS OUT OF CONTROL!! Not only that, this Federal government is inept to boot.
