I don’t mind saying this aloud at all:
Any so-called “legislator” who votes on a bill WITHOUT READING THE FRICKIN’ THING needs to be dragged out into the street and shot....
About the “climate” bill that just passed the U.S. House…
Iranian irony
I find it a sad commentary that many Americans are watching the people of Iran rejecting the farce of that country’s elections a few days ago…
…when we ourselves for the most part are all too accepting of how managed and controlled our own nation’s elections are.
Could we ever take to the streets and demand real freedom to choose a destiny apart from that which the two-party kleptocracy and its willing associates have determined for us?
Few things would make me happier than to see the American people wake up and demand that....
Pastor tells congregation: Bring your guns to church!
A Kentucky minister plans to celebrate the Fourth of July next month along with the Second Amendment… by inviting church members to bring their guns to Sunday service.
...New Bethel Church is welcoming “responsible handgun owners” to wear their firearms inside the church June 27, a Saturday. An ad says there will be a handgun raffle, patriotic music and information on gun safety.
“We’re just going to celebrate the upcoming theme of the birth of our nation,” said pastor Ken Pagano. “And we’re not ashamed to say that there was a strong belief in God and firearms — without that this country wouldn’t be here.”
The guns must be unloaded and private security will check visitors at the door, Pagano said.
He said recent church shootings, including the killing Sunday of a late-term abortion provider in Kansas, which he condemned, highlight the need to promote safe gun ownership. The New
Does this guy even know how to change a tire?
Meet Brian Deese.
This is who President Obama has put in charge of disassembling General Motors.
He’s 31 years old.
He’s “a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School”.
He had never visited an automobile plant until he got tapped by the Obama Administration.
Again, this is the guy that President Barack Obama has put in charge of the GM bankruptcy.
Does Mr. Deese know anything about the automotive industry? I mean, if he’s gonna be overhauling one of the largest manufacturing companies in American history, he should have some real-world experience in management or engineering or something… right?
(Let me put it another way: What the HELL does Obama think he’s doing?!?)
Mash down here for the rest of the story of Mr. Deese, that in a saner age would have never happened…...
General Motors files for bankruptcy, taxpayers having to bail it out
So… who’s gonna be the first to buy a car manufactured by the U.S. federal government?

Russian media observes America embracing Marxism
You know what I find most ironic about this essay?
...It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their “right” to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our “democracy”. Pride blind the foolish.
Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different “branches and denominations” were for the
National sales tax? Yes. In addition to income tax? SCREW THAT!
At long last, some in Washington are saying that it’s time to have a national sales tax, which is something that I’ve been advocating for years.
The problem is that these same people want the sales tax in addition to the pre-existing income tax.
...Common around the world, including in Europe, such a tax — called a value-added tax, or VAT — has not been seriously considered in the United States. But advocates say few other options can generate the kind of money the nation will need to avert fiscal calamity.
At a White House conference earlier this year on the government’s budget problems, a roomful of tax experts pleaded with Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner to consider a VAT. A recent flurry of books and papers on the subject is attracting genuine, if furtive, interest in Congress. And last month, after wrestling with the White House over the
Supreme Court feeding frenzy begins anew
A few weeks ago I arrived at a sobering conclusion, that no doubt better minds than my own have long ago already come to: that the United States government and the political processes associated with it have become a by-product of the lack of enlightenment on the part of collective America. The ability to self-govern was something that only a mature and more noble mind could take responsibility for, the Founders recognized. And for awhile, it worked pretty well… before Joe and Jane Six-Pack decided that voting for American Idol was of more pressing concern than having to worry about whether their elected officials deserved to be in office to begin with.
Anyhoo, President Obama has nominated Sonia Sotomayor to replace the outgoing Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court. I ain’t crazy about her one bit, ‘cuz she’s already said that the courts are “where policy is ...
Pew poll: Independent voters are on the rise
Bad news for both of the major U.S. political parties: Pew Research Center reports that thirty-nine percent of voters now identify themselves as independent: a dramatically sharp increase. Thirty-three percent preferred to be identified as “Democrat” and twenty-two percent wished to be known as “Republican”.
So yesterday morning I wrote that politics has become a dreary bore to this blogger. And I can’t help but think that this poll by Pew reflects that a lot of Americans share that sentiment also. The Democrats and Republicans are each bleeding away voters… and it’s not likely that either of the parties will substantially gain them back in the foreseeable future.
Oh heck, let’s call it for what it really is: the Republicans and Democrats are fast becoming marginalized.
Now, I have to wonder how long will it be before the mainstream press finally starts to get a clue. Will it ...
FCC can enter your home without warrant if you have a wireless router
If your home network uses a wireless router, or if you have a cordless phone or baby monitor or cellphone or anything that emits radio waves, the Federal Communications Commission has asserted it has the power to enter your property WITHOUT a warrant in order to “inspect” said equipment.
...That’s the upshot of the rules the agency has followed for years to monitor licensed television and radio stations, and to crack down on pirate radio broadcasters. And the commission maintains the same policy applies to any licensed or unlicensed radio-frequency device.
“Anything using RF energy — we have the right to inspect it to make sure it is not causing interference,” says FCC spokesman David Fiske. That includes devices like Wi-Fi routers that use unlicensed spectrum, Fiske says.
The FCC claims it derives its warrantless search power from the Communications Act of 1934, though the constitutionality of the claim has
