Baucus tries to fill Kennedy's shoes as Senate Drunk


Wow, this is what the good people of Montana have as a representative?

 I'd like to make fun of them, but we have a congresswoman here by the name of Sheila Jackson Lee.  This character, decided to fly all the way to Michael Jackson's funeral on taxpayer money, and to add insult to injury, she even spoke at the memorial.  I don't have a problem with here attending Jackson's memorial, until she forces taxpayers to pick up the tab for a trip that served no one in her district.

Will the TEA Partiers Make GOOOH a Political Force?



We'll see what happens, but I'm personally excited about it.  I joined this party quite a while back, and I've been frustrated with how slowly it was growing.  Perhaps this will give the GOOOH party the boost it needs to become a political powerhouse.

The End of the Conservative Republican Party

It was a nice run, but once the conservative base of the republican party is betrayed over, and over, and over again, we're forced to take our votes elsewhere.  Basically, in my lifetime, I've seen the Democratic Party become the Socialist Party, and I've watched the Republican Party become the Democratic Party.  Now there is a huge void on the right of America's political spectrum, and the Tea Party may be more than just a protest, it may be the new political party of the United States.  I'm still hoping to see GOOOH make a splash in 2010, we have grown signifigantly since I signed up.  After all, we need more choices. It's one of the few things I could agree with Ralph Nader on when he ran for president.  We have a culture of corruption, and unless we show some back-bone now, violence may be necessary.  Luckily, every soldier I've met in the military takes their oath to The Constitution seriously, unlike our politicians. 

Islam, the Religion of Peace, Yeah Right!


ISLAM SUCKS!  But only because of jack-asses like this guy.  I saw him rape a goat once.

I probably will, but I'll try to take you with me.



Yeah, the lesson is kick muslims out of Europe.  I don't think they get it.



Well Europe, how's that multicultarism workin' out for ya?



Hopefully in the form of a mushroom cloud over Iran



These guys have a hard-on for an ass-whoopin.  It's a shame I can't be there to personally spit on them.

Now, I realize this doesn't represent all muslims, but when's the last time you heard a muslim condemn 9/11?  Or terrorism in general?  The silence of the "peaceful" muslim leadership is very troubling.  I do have to admit, we are spared the ugliness of their women with those bee-keeper outfits.

Time to take a stand!

I don't know who's with me, and I don't care.  I will not be forced to buy insurance.  I will not submit to tyranny!  They say they're going to throw me in jail if I don't buy insurance, big deal?  Freedom is being able to choose not only which insurance, but also the ability not to buy any at all. 
I have medical insurance.  It's not the best, it's over-priced, and it eats a lot of my paycheck.  Just because it's a good idea doesn't mean the government should MAKE someone do it.  I take issue with a government exercising tyranny.  I take issue with a nanny state that tells you what to do from cradle to grave.  I take issue with all 435 members of Congress, who excluded themselves from such tyranny. 

National Healthcare is not the will of We the People, so you get the tar, I'll grab the feathers!

Reliance on contractors sparks oversight concerns

Just now?  I've been concerned from the moment we started.  War profiteers have a vested interest in war, and lobby for it in D.C.  It's no surprise Obama is manipulated just as easily as Bush was.  They're two sides of the same socialist, globalist coin.

A sign of the times


It's interesting this book has a foreword by Ron Paul.  As a Constitutionalist, he's one of the few congressmen I trust.  It's a shame he isn't a stronger public speaker.  Now, I do take issue with the cover of this book, because it doesn't give due credit to George W. Bush for making it all possible.  Dubya proved just how much you can get away with when he bailed out the financial sector.  The amazing thing about the Obama technique, is he campaigned against Bush who wasn't eligible for the job anymore.  Then, after winning the White House, he governs much like Bush.  Very secretive, he had a closed door meeting on government transparency.  Also, bailouts and kick-backs to Goldman-Sachs, who has rigged the system in their favor by establishing a former employer in our Treasury over and over again.  The insane difference is how fast Obama has grabbed his power, and he seems to have tipped his hand to most Americans judging by his current approval ratings.

Warning, misleading headline: Minister: Obamacare kills African-American babies

Minister: Obamacare kills African-American babies.

Well, the minister did say that, but he was talking about abortion, not infanticide.  Once again, WND let's me down with a misleading "shock" headline, but the numbers in this story are quite staggering to me.  10.8% white pregnancies end in abortion, 33.4% of black pregnancies.  So, a human fetus has at least a 10.8% chance of being killed by another human before they even see the light of day.  Kinda makes you feel lucky your mother didn't exercise her "right to choose."

Media Matters Responds To Fistgate VII: “Shame On Kevin Jennings And GLSEN”

I'm an open-minded guy, if people want to do this crap with each other, I have no problem with it.  I do take issue with teaching this sort of behavior to children, especially with our tax dollars.  Shame on Kevin Jennings, shame on Barrack Obama, and shame on all of us for having any tolerance for this garbage in our classrooms.  Kids today may not be able to solve simple algebra problems, but at least they know what fisting is.

Birther movement will not go away

The Birther movement is still going after a year, something that could've been decided before the election with as little as $12. For some reason, Obama does not feel compelled to show this document in the face of hundreds of lawsuits, and 12 citizen grand jury indictments. Granted, Obama has not lost a case yet, but I can't see how he would. Courts are not the proper venue to challenge the president's eligibility.

Unfortunately, I can't defeat the birther argument, they make valid points. One of which is, why not release his vault copy long form birth certificate?  Now, I know what a lot of people are screaming at their computer:  "He posted it online!"  First, Obama didn't post anything, Factcheck.org did.  Second, Factcheck.org is owned by liberals in association with the annenberg group, hardly unbiased.  Third, the two people Factcheck.org sent to verify Obama's Certification of Live Birth had no training in forensic document analysis.  Fourth, when Congress verified the election results, Dick Cheney failed to call for objections.

Now, for you to understand why Obama's online birth certificate is unacceptable, you need to understand what the birthers are after.  The document posted on Factcheck.org is called a certification of live birth.  This document does not include the birth hospital, or any signatures from witnesses of the birth.  It is computer generated based on information found on the Vault Copy Birth Certificate.  Here's an example of what birthers are looking for:



As you can see, the document birthers are after has much more information, as well as signatures.  This particular BC was issued very close to Obama's supposed birthday.  Now, perhaps you understand what the fuss is about.  No President has ever refused to release birth documents, and school records.  Before the election John McCain released his less than stellar academic records, as well as his birth certificate.  Why Obama can't seem to do the same thing is beyond me, and only rouses suspicion.  This is why the birther movement has not subsided.  Unfortunately, that will still not satisfy some.  Some birthers claim the proof is not in where Obama was born, but in his parentage.  Fathered by a subject of the UK, birthers claim Obama is disqualified by the Constitution no matter where he was born because of divided allegiences.

Now that we have the background established, we can get to birther lawyer Orly Taitz's open letter to Attorney General Eric Holder: 

12.14.09. Via Certified Mail

Attn Mr. Eric Holder
United States Attorney General
950 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington DC 20530-0001 USA


Dear Mr. Holder,

On March 1st on behalf of my clients I have submitted to you a request to file Quo Warranto against Mr. Barack Hussein Obama. The request was filed due to following troubling facts:

1. According to a number of licensed investigators National Databases show Mr. Obama using as many as 39 different Social Security numbers, which included the numbers of deceased individuals and numbers never assigned.

2. Number 042-68-4425 that Mr. Obama used for most of his life and is currently using while residing in the White House, is a number assigned to an individual born in 1890, who resided in the state of Connecticut and this Social Security number was issued in the state of Connecticut where Mr. Obama never resided.

3. One of the leading forensic experts in the country Ms. Sandra Ramsey Lines has prepared an affidavit, stating that Mr. Obama’s short version Certification of Life Birth cannot be treated as genuine without seeing the original on file in the Health Department in HI.

4. The state of Hawaii since 1911 had in its statutes a provision allowing Foreign born children of Hawaiian residents of get Hawaiian Birth Certificates(currently statute 338-17) and currently statute 338-5 allows one to get a birth certificate based on a statement of one relative only without any corroborating evidence from the hospital.

5. In spite of over 100 law suits filed around the country and 12 Citizen Grand Jury indictments Mr. Obama refused to sign a consent to unseal his original birth certificate currently sealed in the Health Department of the state of Hawaii and all the other vital records.

6. Ms. Chiuomi Fukino, Director of the Health Department of the State of Hawaii has provided a statement that there is a document on file in Hawaii, however she refused to provide any information, as to what document is on file: whether it is a Birth Certificate given to a foreign born child of Hawaiian resident, whether it is an amended Birth certificate, obtained when Mr. Obama was adopted by his Indonesian stepfather. She refused to answer any questions as to whether his birth certificate was obtained based on a proper hospital birth certificate or based on a statement of one of his relatives only, which needs to be corroborated.

7. Regardless of place of birth of Mr. Obama, since birth and until now Mr. Obama had a split allegiance. He had British citizenship at birth, Kenyan since age 2 and Indonesian since age 5. Allegiance to other Nations goes as a clear violation of the Natural citizenship clause of the article 2 section 1 of the Constitution.

8. Under the Freedom of Information act 5 US 552, since no response was provided to numerous certified mail letters received by your office nine months ago, I demand a written response or Administrative hearing on the matter within 30 days. On behalf of my clients I demand an answer, as to when the Quo Warranto against Mr. Obama will be filed by the US Attorney General office, or in the alternative if the Attorney General office refuses to file Quo Warranto, I demand an ex-relator status for my clients to proceed with the Quo Warranto action against Mr. Obama in the DC court or the Supreme Court of the United States.

Counsel to the plaintiffs-ex relators.

Quo Warranto request, Dossiers



Seems like enough to at least be suspicious, what do you think?  Does the media keep trying to kill this story because it's true?  CNN tried several times to kill the story, and even fired Lou Dobbs for bringing it up.  CNN even falsely claimed that Obama's vault copy birth certificate had been destroyed, which was quickly corrected by the Hawaii DoH when questioned about it.

Now that Obama has the Presidency, he should be held to his pledge to bring transparency to government.  Let's start with the Commander-in-Chief's credentials, shall we?

Words of Wisdom from Thomas Sowell

“We may be entering an era where the greatest dangers to the survival of Western civilization will come from internal social deterioration. Other great civilizations have declined and collapsed. We may be the first, however, to sink slowly into the quagmire, still beaming from ear to ear in self-congratulation at how ‘innovative’ we are in our social policies.” ~~Thomas Sowell

The Coming Soldier Revolt

How long can we ask our bravest to continue this blood-money farce in Afghanistan and Iraq?  They signed up to serve us, but end up wiping iraqi & aghani asses and taking care of their problems for them.  These countries are just filled with people that hate us, yet we continue to "kill them with kindness."  Unfortunately, that kindness and political correctness has proved the most deadly weapon against our soldiers.  After what happened at Ft. Hood, it's obvious the military is worried much more about political correctness than the security and safety of our troops.  Sure, we could've removed Hassan before he brutally murdered 13 adults and 1 unborn innocent child, but that might hurt muslims' feelings, and we can't have that!

Worst of all is the suicidal rules of engagement(ROE) for our troops.  The actual ROEs are said to be classified U.S. and NATO secrets, but based on individual soldier accounts, those restrictions include the following:


No night or surprise searches

Villagers are to be warned prior to searches

Afghan National Army, or ANA, or Afghan National Police, or ANP, must accompany U.S. units on searches

U.S. soldiers may not fire at insurgents unless they are preparing to fire first

U.S. forces cannot engage insurgents if civilians are present

Only women can search women

Troops can fire on insurgents if they catch them placing an IED but not if insurgents walk away from where the explosives are.


So, anyone out there really believe we can win this?  It's obvious our leaders don't have the stomach for what must be done.  After all, the guy in charge has waited 3 months to do what his hand-picked general told him to do in the first place.  3 months of soldiers dying, families weeping for their lost sons and daughters, before Barack Hussein Obama could even decide on a strategy at all. 

How can we keep asking our soldiers and our families to endure this?  How long can they stay loyal to a man that doesn't seem loyal to the Constitution they've all been sworn to uphold?  Would you go to war under the ROEs listed above?

How to Get Liberals on Board with the Death Penalty

First, if you wanna get liberals on board, you have to change the name.  Death is not a word liberals like to hear, they're quite an emotional bunch.  But, what name can we come up with?  What would a liberal be okay with?  Liberals seem to like taxes, so maybe we can call it a death tax stimulus.  Nope, that pesky death word is still in there.  Maybe an estate tax stimulus. 

They seem to think rationing things like healthcare is important, so we might call lethal injection "preventive care."  After all, they won't be suffering any medical problems after we're done with them.  They won't be able to cause any to anyone else either, and that's always a plus.  Maybe we can make it about food.  If we kill these scumbags, and use their prison food to feed the hungry, perhaps liberals may be able to swallow the ugly but necessary pill that is the death penalty. 

We have to remember that the liberal's mind is a terribly confused one.  After all, their thinking is absolutely backwards.  It's almost as if there is a chemical imbalance in their brain.  I'm at a loss as to what could cause such thinking.  Liberals will allow the slaughter of totally innocent unborn human life, and at the same time defend muderers and rapists from the death penalty.  Perhaps the best way to keep liberals from being offended by the death penalty is to call it a very late term abortion.

Dem leader urges debt limit increase of $1.8-1.9T

Dem leader urges debt limit increase of $1.8-1.9T

WASHINGTON (AP) - A top House Democratic leader said Friday Congress will have to permit at least $1.8 trillion in additional federal borrowing next year in order to avoid a default on the U.S. debt.

So, let me get this striaght. We're in debt. If we don't have the money to pay the debt, we'll be in default. Our plan is to borrow more money and get into more debt to make sure we don't default on our current debt. Am I the only one who sees how foolish and damaging this kind of activity is?

I have a modest proposal for congress. When the company I work for falls on hard times, we don't give everyone a raise. As a matter of fact, you may even have your pay cut. Sucks to have your pay cut, but you've still got a job at least. Pay cuts for Congress is the first step. Paycuts for President is next, followed by all other government employees taking a 10% pay cut.

Wanna save $40 Billion? How about we abolish the IRS and go to a national sales tax. The savings in paper alone would be tremendous! Not to mention Americans wouldn't have to spend countless hours trying to figure out how much money the IRS expects from them. This tax system would also force illegal aliens to share the tax burden they mostly avoid with their "status."

None of my proposals will be taken seriously. Unfortunately, it's not the intention of our government to fix this problem, and they seem intent on making our problems worse!

Fair Warning

One of the silliest things I've noticed about this healthcare debate is how usually liberal pot-heads are all for this thing. I guess they're too stoned to read the bill, and see that their medical records will be accessible to the government for any reason.

C'mon you red-eyed munchie monsters, get a clue! No more confidentiality with your doctor about your habits, good or bad. Let's face it, no one wants to pay taxes to pay for a cigarette smoker's cancer treatment, or a crack addict's dental bills. So, keep blazing up, you're in for a rude awakening.

The War on Congress

That's right, Mario Apuzzo is still at it, and now he's going after Congress for not investigating the eligibility of a certain President Elect.  The case was dismissed, but merely because the judge found a way to put the case out of his jurisdiction.  There was no answer to the charges of ineligibility, or the Congress' failure to investigate the current President.  While other "birther" lawyers attack Obama and the DNC directly, Apuzzo is focused on the Constitutional guardians of the office of the President of the United States of America:  Congress. 

Global warming may require higher dams, stilts

The AP is officially retarded. Anyone who has studied global warming knows it's bullshit. Take a look at 100 year tide charts. Still accurate, even though they were created well before SUVs. Take a look at Solar Radiation data, and you'll see a correlation between solar activity and temperature trends. Basically, this is a hoax designed to fool you into paying taxes to control the weather. Say it with me: "They want you to pay taxes to control the weather." If this doesn't sound ridiculous yet, you're probably a liberal.

the said certificates; and the votes having been ascertained and

counted according to the rules in this subchapter provided, the

result of the same shall be delivered to the President of the

Senate, who shall thereupon announce the state of the vote, which

announcement shall be deemed a sufficient declaration of the

persons, if any, elected President and Vice President of the United

States, and, together with a list of the votes, be entered on the

Journals of the two Houses. Upon such reading of any such

certificate or paper, the President of the Senate shall call for

objections, if any.
Every objection shall be made in writing, and

shall state clearly and concisely, and without argument, the ground

thereof, and shall be signed by at least one Senator and one Member

of the House of Representatives before the same shall be received.

When all objections so made to any vote or paper from a State shall

have been received and read, the Senate shall thereupon withdraw,

and such objections shall be submitted to the Senate for its

decision; and the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall, in

like manner, submit such objections to the House of Representatives

for its decision; and no electoral vote or votes from any State

which shall have been regularly given by electors whose appointment

has been lawfully certified to according to section 6 of this title

from which but one return has been received shall be rejected, but

the two Houses concurrently may reject the vote or votes when they

agree that such vote or votes have not been so regularly given by

electors whose appointment has been so certified. If more than one

return or paper purporting to be a return from a State shall have

been received by the President of the Senate, those votes, and

those only, shall be counted which shall have been regularly given

by the electors who are shown by the determination mentioned in

section 5 of this title to have been appointed, if the

determination in said section provided for shall have been made, or

by such successors or substitutes, in case of a vacancy in the

board of electors so ascertained, as have been appointed to fill

such vacancy in the mode provided by the laws of the State; but in

case there shall arise the question which of two or more of such

State authorities determining what electors have been appointed, as

mentioned in section 5 of this title, is the lawful tribunal of

such State, the votes regularly given of those electors, and those

only, of such State shall be counted whose title as electors the

two Houses, acting separately, shall concurrently decide is

supported by the decision of such State so authorized by its law;

and in such case of more than one return or paper purporting to be

a return from a State, if there shall have been no such

determination of the question in the State aforesaid, then those

votes, and those only, shall be counted which the two Houses shall

concurrently decide were cast by lawful electors appointed in

accordance with the laws of the State, unless the two Houses,

acting separately, shall concurrently decide such votes not to be

the lawful votes of the legally appointed electors of such State.

But if the two Houses shall disagree in respect of the counting of

such votes, then, and in that case, the votes of the electors whose

appointment shall have been certified by the executive of the

State, under the seal thereof, shall be counted. When the two

Houses have voted, they shall immediately again meet, and the

presiding officer shall then announce the decision of the questions

submitted. No votes or papers from any other State shall be acted

upon until the objections previously made to the votes or papers

from any State shall have been finally disposed of.

George W. Bush the Psuedo Conservative




George Bush was the worst president this country has ever seen.  I know there are plenty of conservatives that would ask me to take a look at Obama, but in my book he's running a close second.  However, he is on pace to overtake Bush for that title within his first year. 

I feel much more betrayed by Bush than Obama though.  After all, Obama had written books about his plans for socializing medicine, and his facinations with socialism and communism.  No one would've guessed that George W. Bush would invest our hard earned tax dollars into Wall St. to bail out a bunch of people





"I've abandoned free market principles to save a free market system." - George W. Bush

When the leader of the Republican Party spouts this sort of nonsense, you can bet socialists have infected the Republican Party heirarchy.  With socialism already well established in the Democrat party under the guise of liberalism, it's clear the "Big 2" no longer offer a choice.  Both parties apparently now think the government should run healthcare, auto industry, banks, etc.  It's painfully obvious that while our current "leader" may be twisting the knife in America's back, Bush is the one who put the knife there.


With Bush's bailouts, precedents were set.  It's unbelievable what Bush did.  No sane person (who's paying attention) would have this man as a leader.  Not only did he forget how to spell VETO, even when Democrats were in charge, he managed to DOUBLE the spending of Bill Clinton under his watch even if you exclude wartime expenditures.  Clearly, Bush is not a fiscal conservative, and unworthy of much of the praise he receives. 






HI DoH finally stepped in it.

Napolitano pronounces US border more secure now

Napolitano pronounces US border more secure now

I'd like an answer to Rep. Lamar Smith's question, "How can they claim that enforcement is 'done' when there are more than 400 open miles of border with Mexico, hundreds of thousands of criminal and fugitive aliens and millions of illegal immigrants taking American jobs?"

The Wrong Side of History

A phrase I've been hearing a lot more lately is, "I don't want to be on the wrong side of history." I can't think of a more ridiculous argument to defend any position. Think about what our Forefathers did, sticking their necks out, subjecting themselves to treason if we didn't win our revolutionary war. What would've happened if they were afraid of being on the wrong side of history?

I'm still trying to find in The Constitution how Congress has the power to take over the healthcare industry. Looks like a blatant disregard for the 10th Ammendment, just like medicaid, social security, welfare, etc.

I can't wrap my head around the opposition's thought process on this one. Illegal aliens will be scared to report crimes? They're scared anyway because they are here ILLEGALY! I don't care if the cop stopped him for j-walking or littering, if he's defying our immigration laws, he's breaking the law, making him a criminal. We have laws against this stuff for a reason, j-walking, littering, and illegal immigration. All of these activities do nothing good for our community.

Execute the traitor

The President and mainstream media have already started making excuses for that goat-fucking mass murderer.  Oh, he was stressed, it was mental illness, he was picked on for being muslim.  BULLSHIT!

While the media and President try to make this a debate about his motives, mental illness or terrorism are not what I would call this.  It seems people have forgotten what we call a soldier who turns on his brothers in arms.  We call these assholes traitors, as in TREASON.

Who is the puppeteer?

By now, anyone paying attention can figure out Bush and Obama have very similar governing styles. Although, I don't remember Bush whining about unfavorable press coverage. Both of these men are puppets, put in place by lots and lots of money. It's painfully obvious partisan politics has become the new pro-wrestling. Just ask Jesse Ventura, he did both.

One thing is for sure, Bush & Obama's strings are pulled by the same puppeteer! Think about it, we're still in Iraq. We're still in Afghanistan. We're still spending America into a huge hole, inflating the dollar to the point of uselessness. Worst of all, they've both engineered government takeovers of private industry. Since when can a company be "too big to fail." Enron wasn't "too big to fail." Neither was Gimbles.

I'm forced to come to the conclusion that a shadow government with its own agenda is always in power, and our elected officials are there to take the political heat while globalist usurpers wield the power of our Federal Government. I know the argument sounds far-fetched, but the evidence is adding up.

1. League of Nations
2. Federal Reserve
3. United Nations
4. Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)
5. Goldmann Sachs makes a killing by planting employees in our treasury.
6. George Soros is trying to kill the green-back dollar as the most dominant currency in the world.
7. Congress gutted HR 1207, a bill by Ron Paul to audit the Federal Reserve.
8. No one knows where Barrack's campaign money came from, not even Hillary.

So, I ask again, who is the puppeteer? Bilderberg? CFR? Bohemian Club? Skull & Bones? Who is behind the destruction of my Constitutional Government? I hope for their sake I never find out, because I love my country, and I would be inclined to mutilate any asshole I caught fucking with her!

Camp David?

Obama is going to Camp David for the weekend, and I couldn't be happier. I remember when Bush was working on that Presidential vacation record, I was glad he was far away from DC where he could do damage. I suspect the same is true for our new puppet president, who doesn't seem the least bit distraught when our finest countrymen(soldiers) are attacked.

Life can be hell without a teleprompter!

So, what do you think? I think this guy could care less about what happened, how about you?

Cowards of Jihad

It still baffles our minds, how someone is willing to take their own life just to kill others and make a fleeting political statement. Sadly, this practice is encouraged by the cowards of jihad. These little men brainwash troubled youths with promises of a glorious after-life, and martyrdom. These same cowards prefer to hide amongst women and children to discourage reprisals, and take full advantage of our merciful nature with women and children. We must hunt these cowards down like the cave dwelling mountain goat fuckers they are!

Words of Wisdom from Fulton Sheen

"What men do not see is that the fracturing of the spiritual community means the loss of inclusive and unifying moral sanctions over the whole of man's activities... The modern world has no cement to bind together personal morals and the morals of political and economic life.' If a time ever comes when the religious Jews, Protestants and Catholics have to suffer under a totalitarian state denying them the right to worship God according to the light of their conscience, it will be because for years they thought it made no difference what kind of people represented them in Congress, and because they never opposed the spiritual truth to the materialist lie'."

Word of Wisdom

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." --Samuel Adams

Sad Irony

It's sadly ironic that Barrack Obama ran against George W. Bush in the election, and ended up running things just like George W. Bush.

Why you should be scared of Obama songs:

The video below is a good way to understand why Obama songs scare the shit out of me. At the very end, this video shows Barrack Obama in Muslim garb. That's not what scares me, because I don't think this guy has any real religious views. Most statist politicians don't.

ELEMENTARY EPIDEMIC: 11 Uncovered Videos Show School Children Performing Praises to Obama



If I may quote: “Children are like wet cement. Whatever falls upon them makes an impression.” — Dr. Haim Ginott (teacher, child psychologist)



"When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."
- Adolph Hitler

Honestly, how many George W. Bush songs were there? How many for Bill Clinton?

Riddle me this!

What's the point of having airport security tighter than a duck's asshole when we leave our borders wide open?

Borders, Language, and Culture

Due credit to Michael Savage for this accurate definition of what a sovereign nation is: Borders, language, and culture. That's it, couldn't be any simpler. So, what does that make the United States of America? We have our borders wide open, we can't decide on a national language, and our immigrants now bring their own culture, instead of embracing ours. What happened? American stopped being a mixing pot, and is now a salad bowl. The multi-culturalism the left champions is responsible for the decay of our borders, language, and culture. Unity cannot be achieved without a single language and culture, and our leaders have used that fact to divide and weaken us.

Borders are important defined boundaries of a nation. Thousands of people, maybe more, attempt to cross it everyday. Most make it, due to poor funding for border patrols, and corruption within border patrols. Our leaders have done nothing to stem the flow, and the faux conservative George W. Bush (King George II), actually encouraged migrant workers to spill over the border and bring down the standard of living. Both parties are in a tango with treason on this issue, and refuse to follow the will of the American people.

Language is how a society communicates, shares ideas, and advances itself spiritually, socially, and technologically. Unfortunately, the United States has never declared an official language. As a result, we waste millions of dollars to print out forms in forty-seven different languages to accomodate non-english speakers. As a result, a large percentage of the population cannot communicate with each other, again stifling unity between citizens.

Culture is an important pillar of a sovereign nation as well. Every nation has its own culture, but America is very different. While the United States used to have a very strong culture, it's fading fast. Multi-culturalism is once again the villian, as we encourage people to cling to the culture they came from, we do nothing to help them embrace ours. Let's look at a few examples of how multi-culturism has watered down the American Culture. Do you know what date Flag Day is? Do you know when Washington's birthday is, or even Presidents' Day? Did you know that the United States Marine Corp surrounded Mexico City, and could have crushed the entire country, but showed incredible mercy by allowing Mexico to continue to exist. Did you know Marines were called leathernecks, and their original purpose was to combat pirates? Did you know American lost more of her sons in the Civil War than in any other war in history? Do you know when election day is held? Most people can't answer half of these questions.

So, here I am in the salad bowl. I'm trying to embrace the American Culture, but it's a lonely task. Blogging is one way to embrace our culture, after all, freedom of speech is the foundation of our Bill of Rights. I was born in '81, so I probably don't have an accurate perception of the American Culture, but here's what I've got so far.

Work Hard

Play Hard

Rely on yourself, you don't need the Government's help.

Speak English, it's the frickin' language of the motherland.

Be well armed and capable of defending yourself, your family, and your community.

Always respect our flag, and those that died defending her.


I want to make sure I'm clear on this point. I'm not attacking people for bringing pinatas to the birthday party. I don't have a problem with throwing a quincenera, or having an Oktoberfest. I'm not asking our immigrants to push away their culture, just that they embrace American culture.

Tyranny is a much easier practice over a divided population that can't even communicate in the same language. The attack on our borders, language, and culture, is a knife through the heart of our sovereignty, and seems to be coming from both sides of the aisle.

Could our leaders be any more crooked and arrogant?

Take a look at this, because it blew me away. The worst part about all of this, I can't find it in the mainstream news. It never happened, just like 9/12 and the Tea Parties, this was ignored by the mainstream media.

Mirror, Mirror

Is anyone else troubled by the fact that every healthcare bill these constitutional butchers put forward doesn't include them? I mean, isn't it obvious they're screwing us? C'mon people, wake up. I personally don't believe in socialism, with the exception of education, and children's welfare. I'm not heartless, but I don't like the fact junkie's use their welfare to get crack. I'm sure no one else likes the situation either, well maybe the junkie. I see people sitting on the corner, waiting for someone to roll down their window and give them some change. I don't have a problem with helping people, but sympathize more if their pathetic cardboard sign said, "will work for food," instead of "hungry, anything will help." These people have learned that they don't have to work, and soon, they'll have free healthcare. How is this going to encourage productivity in an already troubled economy? How is this constitutional? I just don't see it. There's just not one mention of healthcare in the Constitution, the 10th Ammendment clearly states: Amendment X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. But aside from this, our guilded plan does not include the very people we're supposed to trust to make it better. I understand who benefits from this, and it's not good. We already have medicaid, and let me tell you the seniors ain't exactly roses about that setup. Now, they'll force you to get health insurance. Doesn't that sound wrong in America? Congress & Obama shouldn't force us to get insurance, especially if they're not willing to put their own families on it. All in all this just looks like another government takeover. They took over the banks, financial sector, automobile business, and now healthcare is the new target. If healthcare is passed, there will be trouble. Do we really want to go to the DMV to get a checkup, or referral to a specialist? Why does the government demand access to our medical records? Why won't Congress impose them on themselves, and the rest of the Federal Government? It's obvious something stinks here. Unfortunately, it's the entire Federal Government.

For Your Reference

I posted The U.S. Constitution in its entirety. This was for the poll question. I want to see the results if people have access to the document in question easily. You can find it in this blog's archive if it gets pushed off the main page.

The Angry Constitutionalist

In case you haven't figured out my political leanings, I'm a Constitutionalist. I'm not very happy with my Federal Government right now. I wasn't always this way. I was actually raised liberal. I know my father is a conservative, but my mother was always a liberal. Still is. Don't worry, she's not on my shit-list. I love my mother, and always will. She dominated my political upbringing, for whatever reason. She had me voting Democrat when I came of age, but something else happened. I eventually gained my independence, left the nest. I have to say, if I was a conservative when I was 18, I'd have been out of the house by 18 1/2. Something happened. I started to care about my future. I started to realize how great this country is, and how we came to be the most powerful nation on the planet. Honestly, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I believe the reason we've enjoyed such prosperity over our short history lies within the sacred document: The Constitution of the United States of America. I suppose not many respect the sacred document. Many don't even respect the risks our Forefathers took to bring it about. I suspect our failing school system has something to do with this. They've become indoctrination centers, and I've experienced first-hand, global warming propaganda. They've been teaching this "theory" in our schools. This baseless, unproven, ridiculous, arrogant theory, that claims we can heat up the planet by driving around in SUVs. My favorite word to describe Al Gore's theory is poppy-cock, but that's another post (titled "Poppy-Cock") What I'm getting at, is read The Constitution. Realize what a beautiful compromise it is. It's ironic that many know of Jefferson's exploits with slave girls, but few realize he wished to abolish slavery in The United States at our Declaration of Independence, then and there. He truly wished all men their inalienable rights, but he realized it was a deal-breaker, so he left the wording and ideas in the Declaration of Independence, so men after him might liberate those in bondage. What I'm trying to say, is read it. Realize what it guarantees you, realize the consequences of violating it, realize we're facing those consequences right now, and have been for quite a while. Above all else, realize no matter what, a tyrant can be toppled by their victims, even if only a resolute minority of them challenge him. Just ask the British Monarchy, they lost 13 colonies, simply for taxing them without giving them representation in parliament.

Poppy-Cock

So, even though the last 6 ice ages ended when SUVs weren't around, we're the cause of global warming, if it's even happening. Has anyone compared our temperature trends to solar radiation intesities? Have you looked at a 100 year tide chart lately? Those pesky 100 year tide charts are still accurate, but how can that be if we're melting the ice caps? My favorite villians in this charade have to be CO2, and Methane. Stop farting, don't breathe out, and we can save the planet. I vote Al Gore goes first. The bottom line with global warming is: Money. If you don't buy into it, Al Gore has to get a real job. Seriously, before Al made a slide-show about drowning polar bears, he was a failed politician. When did he become the expert, I thought this guy was a legislator, and later President of the Senate. How'd he become the leading authority on an issue that involves so much of what his slideshow lacks: Objective Science.
