moral rot

Anyone left who still believes that we have to “work within the system” to effect change in this country had better read this and think real hard about what they’re advocating.

Because the undeniable truth is: the system no longer works. The system has not worked in a long time. The system is hopelessly broken. We’re just now becoming able to see how bad the damage is.

And anyone who still believes we must abide by the status quo and stay within the confines of the system is… well, an idiot.

The status of the Republican Party of the United States isn’t much different from that of the Communist Party of China, when you think about it. Both are controlled by hardliner old guards who won’t bend and will crush like a bug any new blood that tries to bring fresh ideas to the scene. I’m not talking about Republicans ...

The United State Supreme Court has ruled that police can search and seize evidence even though the search itself is illegal.

This will be abused. The high court has just given “law enforcement officers” (God I hate that term) a blank check to stop, search and seize from everyone on even nonexistent grounds.

No doubt there are good cops out there who wouldn’t abuse this… but that does not diminish the fact that this will be abused. And enormously so.

Hell, this would even open the way for corrupt police to plant evidence.

Folks, it’s now patently obvious that this government is no longer of the people, by the people and for the people. It is now government protecting its own sorry ass. And that kind of government, friends and neighbors, is not a government worth our respect or support in the least bit.

Maybe it’s time for good people ...

Could somebody please tell me where there is a scriptural mandate for what the Jonesville Church of God in upstate South Carolina is doing with their sign?

From the story at WYFF in Greenville’s website…

Small Church’s Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy

POSTED: 4:20 pm EDT April 21, 2008
UPDATED: 10:18 pm EDT April 21, 2008

JONESVILLE, S.C. — The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C.

Pastor Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God.

It reads: “Obama, Osama, hmm, are they brothers?”

Byrd said that the message wasn’t meant to be racial or political.

“It’s simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in

Every politician, corporate executive, and management-type in America who believes that globalism is “a good thing” and that there’s nothing wrong with outsourcing our jobs to China, had better take a damned good hard long look at this photograph…

This is what passes as a high-grade pharmaceutical plant in the village of Xinwangzhuang, in the Juangsu Province of China. The guy is harvesting the mucous membranes from the intestines of dead pigs.

The tissue is then processed to make heparin: a drug widely-used in surgery and kidney dialysis here in the United States and elsewhere.

There have now been 19 deaths and numerous allergic reactions reported because of the drug.

I defy anyone to look at that photo, and still tell me that China is a responsible trading partner or that it’s “sound policy” to entrust it with so much industry that we could be doing far better at ...

If nothing else has convinced any among my fellow citizens who beyond all reason yet hold to an opinion but that the government of George W. Bush is completely and hopelessly insane, then perhaps this will persuade them otherwise. It’s about the disastrous North American Free Trade Agreement. From the Associated Press story…

The White House on Friday vigorously defended the 14-year-old free-trade agreement among the United States, Mexico and Canada against sharp criticism from Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

“There’s nothing broken. Why fix it?” said Dan Fisk, senior director of Western hemisphere affairs for National Security Council. He acknowledged the administration must do a better job of explaining the benefits of the agreement.

Bush has suffered a major setback on the trade front with the derailing of a proposed free-trade pact with Colombia. Bush sent the agreement to Capitol Hill earlier this

The federal government will soon be taking DNA samples from EVERYONE that it arrests.

It took almost five years, but the dam has finally burst on this blog.

If you have any small children reading this blog, now would be a good time to escort them away from the monitor. Because I’m about to use a word that until now, I’ve never, ever used of my own volition here. Why am I going to do this? Because I know of no other way to express the anger that I’m feeling right now at how out of control this government has become, and I really don’t give a damn any more about “polite society”. If I use this word, God won’t hold it against me. But He might have something to say if I stand before Him someday, unable to tell Him that I did whatever I could in the ...

Have you finished your annual tribute to the Almighty Government yet, fellow serf?

The income tax is at once the most evil and the most accepted form of slavery of modern times. Has anyone ever stopped to think about how much free time that the federal government demands of us, that could otherwise be used productively, as we the people see fit?

Instead we try to earn more to get things that we don’t really need, and to pay more and more taxes to a government that can’t cut its own wasteful spending.

Why the Hell should my money go to subsidize an illegal alien’s welfare, or that of some unwed kid who gets pregnant multiple times without bothering to find a job to support them on her own? I’m trying to make my own destiny, dammit… and not I or anyone else can be free to do that ...

So North Carolina gubernatorial candidate Bev Perdue has sworn to stop running negative ads against fellow Democrat primary opponent Richard Moore.

Perdue should have never run any negative ads, period.

Notice how she’s only promising to do this for the primary. Perdue is saying nothing about abstaining from negative campaigning during the lead-up to the November general election. If she had done that, and stuck with it throughout the campaign season, I might be tempted to consider her.

But as it is, I’m still sticking with the policy that I announced last week: any candidate who runs even a single negative campaign commercial or pulls some other “dirty trick” that is easily attributable to his or her campaign, will not get my vote. Because doing such a thing proves beyond all doubt that said candidate does not sincerely want to serve the people. It means that they ...

The Daily Mail in Great Britain is reporting that every police officer in London – from the average bobby pounding a beat on up to London Metropolitan Police Chief Sir Ian Blair – will soon be implanted with a microchip that will allow their movements to be tracked all over London, whether they’re on the street or in a pub or deep in the underground, or just at home.

The penalty for refusing to be “chipped”, says the story in the Daily Mail, is that a police officer will lose his or her job.

If I were one of those good London cops, I’d be seriously asking myself: “Is this job really worth my health?” I mean, if this works off of RFID technology, which I’m presuming it does, there’s already been reports of medical problems associated with these things with implanted chips in pets. Namely, stuff like cancer, painful ...
