The Power of Words

I hate it when stupid Internet crap moves me.  I must be getting soft.

Fear No Tyranny!

On May 5th, our President took the opportunity to tell the Class of 2013 graduates that their government is definitely not “some separate, sinister entity” like people have said, which is why anyone caught questioning this irrefutable fact should be outright rejected.

Listen to him say it in his own words.  Ayn Rand would certainly disagree with Obama's first sentence.  I would certainly agree with Ayn Rand.

The fact that the President actually spoke these words to college graduates shouldn't shock anyone.  Who better to try to carry on the infecting of a roomful of minds that have been socially indoctrinated for the last four years?  But I digress...

Only five days later, the IRS found itself apologizing for targeting citizen groups politically opposed to the Obama agenda.  Lois Lerner, the director of an IRS division that oversees tax-exempt groups, acknowledged that the agency had singled out nonprofit applicants with the terms “Tea Party” or “patriots” in their titles.  How did the Obama Administration respond?  How do they ALWAYS respond?

BLAME BUSH!

Obama mouthpiece Jay Carney stated two critical errors in his finger pointing response to the scandal.  First, Carney said the events in question happened while the IRS was under the directorship of a Bush administration appointee.  These IRS actions were carried out from 2010 through 2012; two years after Obama was elected.   Second, Carney went on to state that the IRS is an agency run independently of White House oversight.   Really?  The IRS is the enforcement arm of the Department of Treasury, which is part of the Executive Branch.

Since Obama used the term, "tyranny", I feel it should be defined here.

Pronunciation: tir--n
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -nies 1 : a government in which all power is in the hands of a single ruler
2 : harsh, cruel, and severe government or conduct
3 : a tyrannical act  

Someone should explain that to Jay Carney, after they explain to him the basics of our checks and balances system of government comprised of the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches.

Even MSNBC has used the T word in describing this scandal.  I wonder is anyone in the mainstream media will remember that using the IRS to target political opponents was one of the counts used in Nixon’s Articles of Impeachment.  Oops!  No way.  Nixon was a Republican.

Mothers Day

They say time heals all wounds. It's been years since mama died and it's no easier today than the very day after.  I've arrived at the conclusion that time doesn't heal shit. Time is a thief.

One of the most valuable things I've leaned since losing my mother is that if anyone I leave behind after I die misses me like I miss her, my life would have had real meaning.

Answers

I posed the question last year about the survivors of the Benghazi terrorist attacks on September 11, 2012.  Looks like some of my questions have been answered.  Despite threats of legal, job, and personal retaliation, the surviving heroes are speaking up and what they have to say casts President Obama and former Secretary of State in the very light so many of us knew they belonged.  The President knows he's in trouble when even ABC News turns on him.  Perhaps the mainstream media has figured out that this one isn't going to go away.  Probably not.  He still has MSNBC and John Stewart in his pocket.

 Americans deserve answers.  The families of our fallen Embassy staff deserve answers.  The Obama Administration deserves to pay.

Finally, A Politically Correct Week of Observation That I Can Support!

International Clitoris Awareness Week

There are some things even I can't make up.  Nevertheless, I try to do my part to celebrate Clitoris Awareness LIFE and it appears the world is finally catching on.  We'll start with a week and work up from there.

"Clitoraid is proud to announce its first annual International Clitoris Awareness Week, May 6 to May 12," said Nadine Gary, Clitoraid spokesperson, in a statement released today.

Clitoraid?  I've heard of Kool-Aid and Gatorade.  How the hell did I miss Clitoraid?  Where can I get some?  I wonder if I can make it in my Soda Stream.

More from Nadine Gary:  "This year, we'll celebrate the sexual pleasure of all women, since all can benefit from more sexual appreciation."  She said another Clitoraid mission is to raise public awareness about the clitoris.  "It's been ignored, vilified, made taboo, and considered sinful and shameful for centuries because of patriarchal religious values," Gary said. "It's time to give this beautiful organ the attention it deserves. It's the only human organ with an exclusive sexual pleasure function!"

I like to believe I've done my part to appreciate the clitoris ever since I learned what a clitoris is (thanks Penthouse Letters).  But, leave it to the church to vilify something like the clit.  I suppose they think the penis is just fine the way it is.  Oh, wait.  There's the whole circumcision covenant thing from the Book of Genesis.  But I digress.

 

 
Adopt a clitoris?  Does one need a lawyer to do this? Gives a whole new meaning to LegalZoom.com!  I see this as being like Lays Potato Chips; you can't eat just one.  On second thought, I'd better just stay away or the Duggars would look like misopediacs compared to me.

It Worked in Galt's Gulch!

Rebuilding West

These cartoons are feebly attempting to send the message that Texas' emphasis on easing business regulations is directly related to (if not completely responsible for) the deadly blast.

I wonder why the cartoonists didn't draw images of Sandy Hook with a "Gun Free Zone" sign in front of a bullet riddled building.  Or maybe something truly hilarious reflecting severed body parts crossing the finish line at the Boston Marathon.  I really don't wonder.  I'm just a fan of rhetoric.  But I digress.

The town of West will rebuild with little fanfare and probably with almost no union labor.  Rest assured that the business friendly regulatory environment in Texas will facilitate West roaring back at a pace unimaginable to Kalifornia and New York liberal media types.

More Bomber

There is good news from Boston.  The surviving bomber was read his Miranda rights and will be charged as any U.S. citizen would.  The other good news is that he can be executed under Federal law when he's found guilty.  Let's hop the Obama administration has the balls to carry that sentence out.  Even more good news is that there is now one more person off of welfare.  Yep, this asshole was on public assistance.  Nancy Pelosi recently stated that for every dollar a person receives in food stamps, $1.79 is put back into the economy.  Makes me wonder how many pressure cookers my tax money paid for.  But I digress.

Remember my comment on the Saudi suspect who was held in custody at the hospital immediately after the bombing?  The one who was in the States on a student visa supposedly attending school in Findlay Ohio?  The one who was never in school and instead had an apartment in Boston?  The one who was labeled a State Department 212(a)3(b) threat?  Apparently Janet Nepolitano finally remembers him and she's stepping in the doo doo piles around one's feet when they offer bullshit answers to cover their ass.    This classification isn't something that some bureaucrat can initiate in a whim.  To be labeled a 212(a)3(b) threat requires a detailed dossier, the details of which must be 100% agreed upon by numerous high-level Federal agencies and then the facts about the subject are debated for hours before a Federal judge before the classification can be assigned.

This individual was officially labeled with this classification and yet was set free with full knowledge that he was involved in the bombing. The depth of the reason for his release is still yet to be seen.  The bottom line is it appears that Janet Nepolitano perjured herself and it's all about to become public.  It will be interesting to see how (or even if) the compliant media reports it.

The Bomber

It looks like David Sirota over at Salon.com sorta got his wish.  The Boston bombers where white guys, sorta.  I can only imagine the disappointment felt by the mainstream media and the liberal left when the perpetrators turned out not to be white conservative separatists, Republicans, Tea Party members, Amway distributors, or just plain old Christians.  What a shock it was that they turned out to be Muslims.

The government and its compliant media would have us believe there where two people involved and most of us are naive enough to believe that.  I am not and I do not.  I believe we will learn that these two were part of a larger cell of operatives and I fear we will learn this the hard way.  I believe we also will learn that the original Saudi suspect who was held in custody at the hospital, who was in the States on a student visa supposedly attending school in Findlay Ohio (yet had an apartment in Boston), who was labeled a State Department 212(a)3(b) threat risk by our government, and who just happened to be standing at the marathon finish line when the bombs went off (late) was indeed part of this attack.  But I digress.

I have been impressed and thankful for the amazing investigative and police work carried out in Boston.  It's a testament to what we can accomplish when we really want to.  My only complaint is that the younger brother was not killed. Imagine the untold millions of dollars we're going to spend on a legal staff to defend this dirt bag.  He will get protection in prison, his lawyers will get rich(er) and you and I will pay for it.  I for one would rather the money spent on trying to get this asshole off be spent on assisting the victims and their families.  I  know; I'm a pro death penalty heartless NeoCon.  The graphic images below illustrate a bit of what just what these terrorists actually did.  If you look at the images and still can't see that this kid deserves to die, then what does that make you?  Rotting in prison for the rest of his life at the expense of taxpayer dollars while court-appointed lawyers try to free him (also at our expense) is not justice.  Justice to a Muslim is death by firing squad conducted General Pershing style.

I find it interesting that the captured kid has yet to be read his Miranda rights.  Yes, that statement is in direct contrast to my wish that he had simply been killed rather than captured, but since we have him and he is a Unites States citizen, he has rights.  He has the right to be found guilty and put away for life.  Unfortunately, Massachusetts rescinded their death penalty in 1982.  It's been reported that the delay in charging and Mirandizing him are because the Obama administration will seek to try him as an enemy combatant. This punk is an American citizen who perpetrated a crime against American people on American soil.  Conversely, Attorney General Eric Holder took real enemy foreign nationals who were captured on foreign soil killing American soldiers and chose Mirandize and try them in New York City.  Something's up here.  I just can't wrap my head around it yet.  I'm sure the Obama administration and its mainstream media lackeys will get around to exposing it right after they tell the truth about Benghazi.

You'll Never Believe Where I Spotted This

This is a great answer to the morons who sport those idealistically naive "coexist" bumper stickers.  I spotted this car and took the picture in CALIFORNIA of all places!  Maybe there's hope for the Kalifornians after all.

Beantown Boomtown

The tragic events in Boston are all over the news. It's important, but I'm annoyed by the constant 24x7 news coverage, none of which can be distinguished from any other.

I suppose it was just a matter of time before we got hit again, but an Improvised Explosive Device (IED)  was not what I expected.  Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of IEDs by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million.  Apparently the sequester has relegated frivolous expenditures like homeland security and White House tours to the back burner.  It's important to note that Mrs. Obama's fiftieth birthday bash was spared from the sequester and Jay Carney claimed the Obama's paid for it themselves.  I wonder who paid for the extra secret service protection, the extra wait staff, the screeners and background checkers, and motorcades of the DC and Capital police.  I will never be convinced that Michelle’s star-studded shindig didn't not come at the expense of school children denied White House tours.  But I digress.

It took less than a day for the liberal media to begin speculating over the right wing conservative group that must have perpetrated this horrendous act.  Chris (Tingling Down My Leg) Mathews  said the following:  “I was just thinking, again, it’s early; it’s an early situation, but going after the Kennedy Library, not something at Bunker Hill, not something from the freedom trail or anything that kind of historic, but a modern political figure of the Democratic Party.  Does that tell you anything?”  It tells me a great deal about Chris Mathews; none of it new.  Mathews went on to ask Michael Leiter (former director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center) the following: “Let me ask you about domestic terrorism as a category. Normally, domestic terrorists, people tend to be on the far right, well that’s not a good category, just extremists, let’s call them that. Do they advertise after they do something like this? Do they try to get credit as a group or do they just hate America so much or its politics or its government that they just want to do the damage, they don’t care if they get public credit, if you will?” Perhaps Chris Mathews has never heard of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, or Kathy Boudin.

Bill Ayers murdered seven people, not counting the three Weather Underground members who blew themselves up while making bombs in Greenwich Village.  In all, seventeen children were left without fathers because of Ayers' actions. The Weather Underground attempted to murder five more people when they fire bombed the home of a judge in the middle of the night while his children were sleeping in the home.  In 2001, Ayres told the New York Times he is sorry they did not do more.  "I don't regret setting bombs..... 'I feel we didn't do enough." The Weather Underground claimed responsibility for more than thirty bombings.  Ayers is a retired professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.  Ayers also hosted Barak Obama's political coming out party at his home in 1995 where Alice Palmer introduced Obama as her chosen successor to the Illinois State Senate.

Bernardine Dohrn is Ball Ayers' wife and revolutionary partner in crime.  To my knowledge, she's never publicly admitted to murder, but she isn't shy about her Communist mindset. "We are building a communist organization to be part of the forces which build a revolutionary communist party to lead the working class to seize power and build socialism." - Bernardine Dohrn

Dohrn is an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law.

Kathy Boudin was a survivor of the 1970 Greenwich Village townhouse explosion; the premature detonation of a nail bomb which had been intended for a soldiers' dance at Fort Dix. She also spent 22 years in prison for her involvement in an armored car robbery that left two police officers and a Brinks guard dead.  She was no innocent bystander in the infamous 1981 Brinks robbery.  Look up her despicable actions for yourself.  Boudin currently holds a prestigious adjunct professorship at Columbia University - not exactly a bastion of conservative thinking.

Let's be fair here.  The left certainly hasn't cornered the market on domestic terrorism.  Timothy McVeigh was considered a extreme right wing zealot when he blew up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City.  Unlike Ayers, Dohrn, and Boudin who were rewarded with lofty positions in academia, McVeigh was prosecuted and justifiably executed for his crimes.

"Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American." - David Sirota, Salon.com, 4/16/2013

Few statements illustrate the liberal left's desires for America than this one.  If the Boston bomber turns out to be anything other than some flag waving white redneck NRA member who fits Chris Mathews' descriptive mindset, the liberal media will have to create a reason to find fault with conservatives that will somehow justify the bomber's actions.  The cynic in me thinks differently.  Perhaps the bomber is just padding his resume for a future position in liberal college academia.

How Stupid Are Liberals? - Eco-Nazi Edition

This isn't new, but it's still funny.  Some people will sign up for anything (as Obama voters have so disastrously pointed out).

World Autism Awareness Day

Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of lawyers.  I am a fan of law enforcement, especially those officers who have the balls to singularly risk confronting someone carrying (as opposed to hiding behind a bush or under a bridge with a radar gun).  Nevertheless, I got a kick out of this.

Gun Massacres & the Inner City Afflicted

I'm not a flag waving NRA gun freak.  I am a member and have been labeled a freak, but I don't wave a flag.  This guy has great perspective and succinctly states his point.  He'll undoubtedly be labeled an Uncle Tom or a white apologist, but those labels won't diminish the facts.

Conclave Vs Congress

Am I the only one who sees similarities between the Catholic Conclave and the Unites States Congress?

Both are an elitist group of privileged selectees who hide behind locked doors to determine policies that affect hundreds of millions of people and then shamelessly blow smoke to celebrate their dubious accomplishments while trying to convince their "followers" that their decisions were in their best interest.

Rock On, Economy!

What a dilemma the President finds himself in.  Only a week ago he droned (no pun intended) on about how America would suffer as a direct result of the evil Republicans' sequestration policy.  Mr. Obama forgot (and a compliant media failed to remind him) that sequestration was his idea in the first place.  I know I posted this video clip a week ago, but it's important to remember the President's words; especially since he himself can't seem to.  A couple of minutes into his whine, Mr Obama blames all of America's future woes on the sequester.  At least he's no longer blaming Bush.  But I digress.

There is good news here that the President fails to mention.  The economy appears to be rocking.  Jobs are beginning to look better; at least for those Americans still willing to actually work for a living.  Also, the stock market recorded near record highs this week.  The irony for the President is that he can't take credit for all this good news because he and his minions shamelessly predicted nothing but instantaneous doom and gloom for weeks before the sequester hit.

If we actually realistically look at the events of the past few weeks, the irony of the President's dilemma becomes clear.  The sequestration process dictated that Congress and the President cooperatively act to deliver a balanced approach to cutting the American deficit.  This "balance" was to be achieved through increased taxes and budgetary entitlement cuts.  In January of this year, the President increased taxes on the American people to the tune of 650 billion dollars.  Despite his promise that middle and low income Americans would not see their paychecks diminished, every single American who works for above the table pay got taxed and brought home less money beginning with their first paycheck in January.  This is a fact.  Half of the balanced approach had been achieved.  The President succeeded in raising taxes on everyone in the country.  The other half of the balanced approach would come from budget cuts.

It would, except it didn't.  The President refused to hold up his end of the bargain when he refused to even propose, much less make any budgetary cuts.  Congress gave him unprecedented authority to pick and choose where to make cuts that would cause the least amount of pain to the American people and to the economy.  Any true leader would jump at the chance.  But, America elected a Marxist community organizer who has never held a real job and unfortunately, leadership requires a more qualified resume.  Again I digress.  Obama chose an anti-leadership role and simply refused to take action and hold up his end of the bargain.  The President refused to lead. The reason is simple; accountability.  The President does not want to be on the hook for cutting programs and entitlements, no matter how frivolous they may be.  The result?  The President's lack of action might have actually caused a spike in the economy.  When Obama kept his hands out of things, things got better.  Many (especially in the media) will disagree and float a plethora of other reasons, all of which give credit to the President's policies.  Why wouldn't they?  I mean after all, why face facts?

Expectation Versus Reality

I wonder if this is how Obama voters feel.

Wherefore Are Thou, Ammo?

Tried to by gun ammunition lately?  Buying at usual retail locations like WalMart, Bass Pro, and Academy is almost impossible.  Buying in gun stores and at shooting ranges is not much easier. Rationing is the order of the day and most only allow one box per buyer.  It's reminiscent of gasoline in the 1970's.

There is hope though; at least if you're the Federal government.  In the last ten months, the US government has purchased two BILLION rounds of ammo for non-military applications.  Although conspiracy theories abound, I won't bother to ask the question why.

It will get better. The Obama Administration's policies of restricting the flow of arms and ammo across state lines is already unraveling.  Several manufacturers have announced intentions to move their entire operations to Texas.  They don't have to ship across state boundaries to reach their largest customer base, Texans enjoy the liberty of pursuing and attaining personal security, and the State of Texas enjoys the tax revenue.  Everybody wins!  Well, everybody except the criminals.  What's more, in a symbolic thumbing of their noses at Obama and out of control liberal state legislators, hundreds of firearm and ammo manufacturers has refused to ship product to state agencies in states that restrict public use of their products.

These positive changes will take time.  Be patient and use practice ammo sparingly.  Most importantly, be prepared.  Your government prefers you dial 911 and wait for the police to arrive.  In 2012, the Dallas Police Department average priority one call response time was 12 minutes.  By comparison, my Federal 9mm 124 grain Hydra-Shockrounds can travel 1,070 feet per second within 75 feet.

It's your family.  It's your life.  It's your stuff.  You make your choice.  I've made mine.

Texas Independence Day

America is STILL Here!

Remember this show?  Most don't.  I barely do.  It was a poorly written and overly dramatic attempt at earth loving, eco-Nazi indoctrination loosely disguised as a prime time TV show.

 

Remember this dog food?  It was essentially an unscientific mixture of intestines, blood, pus, tumors, and animal (including dog and cat) carcasses ground up and presented into a neat package purported to be a healthy part of your dog's nutrition.

What do you get when you put these failed ideas together?

Sequestration!

A self aggrandizing and preachy doomsday prepper reaction, forced upon us as a result of a failed fiscal policy of entitlement and class warfare.

Given the alarmist position the Obama administration played out over the last few weeks regarding the mandated budget changes, the end of America as we know it seemed more likely than it did with the Mayan calendar, asteroids, and the year 2000 combined.  It would all be amusing if it weren't so sad.

Less intellectually endowed Americans were led to believe that drastic cuts were to be imposed, starting today if Congress didn't essentially give the President additional tax hikes.  Felons would be released from prison, air traffic controllers and U.S. border agents would be furlowed, teacher positions would be sliced, cops would be pulled of the street, dogs and cats would live in harmony.  Oh, the humanity!  What's more, Obama took every opportunity to blame Congress for a program HE signed into law and defended vehemently.  Listen to his words at about two minutes into the video below. Try to contain yourself as he predicts the future and takes preemptive action to blame the undoubtedly upcoming economic problems on the sequester.

What Obama and his minions failed to admit was that there are actually no budget cuts.  There are simply fewer increases in their future budgets.  Let's say you earn $50,000 salary and with that, you manage to pay all your bills and can afford to put your child in a private school.  You are told your salary will increase to $75,000 based on a new promotion you earned.  Then, your boss comes to you and tells you that due to budgetary reasons, your new salary will only be $70,000.  Would you then decide you can no longer afford to keep your child in private school?  Of course not.  This is the game the Obama administration is playing with the American people.  Additionally sad is the mainstream media's complete complaisance with the lies being told.  Fortunately, many Americans are smarter than the President gave them credit for, even if they demonstrated otherwise by voting for him (again).  But I digress.

Let's consider the draconian job cuts we were told would be forced upon our critical government agencies.  We're told Air Traffic Controllers would be cut, causing air traffic to stack up and yielding a ripple effect across various industries.  The Department of Transportation has over 60,000 employees ranging from executives to janitorial staff.  If we equate the priority of Air Traffic Controllers' salaries to the priority of our child's private school costs, then we can equate the janitorial staff salaries to say, our cable bill.  If I have a choice where to spend a finite amount of funds, my child's education is my priority.  I can wait a few months for my HBO movies to show up on Netflix.  The only reason I would sacrifice my child's education is if I had some twisted hidden agenda.  I'm not knocking janitors here.  I'm simply stating that some positions are more essential to the daily operation of our country than others.

And just what is a furlow?  It isn't a firing.  In government employee terms, a furlow means an employee will take one unpaid Friday off per month.  Career employees with years on the dole actually have massive amounts - literally months - of paid sick time to which they could apply these furlow dates if they wanted to.  Of course, not every government employee has a stockpile of sick time.  For those who don't, why not divert some of the tax dollars spent on robotic squirrels, shrimp on treadmills, ketchup viscosity studies, and support given to foreign countries who publicly vow to destroy America and spend it on our mission essential personnel?  It's a moot question because like global warming, it's a bullshit problem.

Fear not, America!  As I type, our government is meeting to avert the looming disasters we've been threatened with for the last month.  Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Boehner, and if he can get off the links in time, perhaps even President Obama himself are set to hammer out a solution.   I guess the fact that these same "leaders" have had 18 months to deal with this issue is one that we're supposed to ignore.

I am but one of many who say let sequestration happen.  When Americans wake up the day after and realize the world is still here, maybe even those who were naive enough to buy into the Obama administration's fear mongering and threats will realize they've been had, much like Chantecler's barnyard counterparts.  Cock-a-doodle-do, America.  It's time to wake up.

This sign clearly didn't work for drugs.
Why would anyone believe it would for guns?
