News You Can Use This Fine Saturday Morn

There are quite a few earth shattering news stories out this morning. Events unfolding of high importance that should not be ignored........


I believe I have mentioned in an earlier post that Walker; Texas Ranger has endorsed Newt. His right to do so I suppose but c'mon; do any of us really want a president named Newt?

It seems that Michael Moore is at it again. Does this blubber butt ever shut up? Now he tells us that the United States was "founded on genocide and built on the backs of slaves." He has a point there, (although slaves did not "build the nation) but it is really nothing for us to be concerned about. The history of the human race and by extension, the history of a nation state, is a story of subjugation, violence, and yes even genocide. The way of the world Michael. Why do you feel so guilty about the "sins of the past?" Perhaps you should head on over to Russia, China, the UK, Germany, etc. etc. and preach to those folk about their respective history. Michael Moore, sir, you are a boob.  Funny how this Moore has done real well here in this country bashing the same. Isn't it? I say, "Take your act somewhere else (ya cocksucker ya) and see how that works out for you."

Well NASA has debunked the Triangle shaped flying objects I guess. Something to do with the "laws" of physics or some such. OK  I suppose it is far more likely to catch a glimpse of long deceased Uncle Al masturbating still on the front lawn than it is to actually see a real alien space craft; but do we need to discount the possibility of intelligent life from somewhere else making a visit? Here and there as it might be? Probably not. The folks at NASA are not any different that any other group of scientists. What they think they know is a totally different matter than what they really understand.

Did you know that in one Mexican state more people have lost their lives in the last year than in the "war torn" nation of Afghanistan. This is happening right across our border folks and yet we still do really very little in the way of securing our southern boundary. Our political class are afraid of being labeled "racist" I suppose. Is it "racist" (Hispanic is not a race mind you), to keep Mexicans (and others) contained in their own country? It just might be and it does not matter a whit. It is a national security issue and we need politicians with cajones enough to put America first and just let the screechers holler "racism" all they want.  If there is one place we need "jack booted thugs" on duty it is our border with Mexico. What we don't need are these same thugs wandering around a Georgia SSI office bothering folk.

It looks like a whole lot of politicians are "reconsidering" their support of this SOPA thing. Really? The very real spectre of getting voted out of office stared them right in the face and they flinched. Imagine that. Now I am glad the whole "online piracy" thing has been, at least for now, stopped in its tracks. I understand and agree that piracy is a huge problem but there will be times (and this is one of them) that real choices have to be made. The Internet is freedom and should not be tampered with and yes there are those in the music and film industry who will lose money in the process. So be it. None will go broke I would wager. This nation stands at the forefront of espousing liberty and freedom and if something became law that even remotely could be seen as censorship would be a travesty and (further) expose us as hypocrites.

The whole SOPA thing is very similar to the gun control issue really. Do we continue to further "restrict" the right of law abiding citizens to own firearms for the sake of "our own safety?" We should not. Do we really want to censor the Internet for the sake of a few? Not that either. It is a question of freedom and liberty. That alone should trump any other consideration. But, that being said, I will imagine that we will be revisited, sooner rather than later, by another push to implement some sort of censorship. Just the way it is.

Now it is being reported that one "outraged" Chris Dodd, late of Congress, has been hired as a "consultant" or some such by the motion picture industry. Is he not trying to skirt some sort of restriction on "lobbying" after leaving the hallowed halls? Perhaps some serious investigative work is in order here. Perhaps Mr. Dodd will find himself sitting in the pokey somewhere before all is said and done. Doubtful of course but one can certainly wish. Can't they?

That is about enough for one sitting I would think. Oh enjoy a bit of  rule 5 before you go.

Bleating About This,That, and the Other Thing On A Sunday Morn

It seems as if Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake were both invited to be dates by members of the Marine Corps to the storied Marine Corps Ball. Both accepted and showed that not all Hollywood types are pinkos, jerk offs, and dickweeds. Good for them.

Bob Schieffer had Ron Paul on as a guest this morning on Face The Nation. This Schieffer is a old fruit and pretty typical of the "media elite" Ron Paul, while having some good ideas on some issues, is just way off base on many others. He is just a bit nuts. Sue me.

On another one of the Sunday morning programs there was a segment on a Muslim man who owns a "Kosher" deli. Good for him. It seems to be working out. This is what America is all about. This is the United States and we just don't want some Jewish/Muslim conflict here. For those who wish to continue that particular conflict here I ask you to take a permanent trip back to the Middle East and cut each others throats if you so desire. Mohammedan beware though; the United States will never allow the destruction of Israel.

 If you live here then put American interests first and leave your third world conflicts behind.  That being said, I have a distinct distrust for followers of the Prophet. Something to to do with an episode about ten years back. Something to do with militant Islamists in Europe and even right here in our country.  I support Israel in their conflict with the Mohammedan but if you live here in this country best leave that crap alone. I'm talking to both of you.  Put America first and be American or be gone. That goes for anyone from anywhere.

This wonderful nation has people from all over the world and that makes us great. That being said it is time to put the brakes on immigration. We can start by militarizing and sealing the southern border. We just can not afford any more of the world's poor and downtrodden. No more room at the inn. Sorry.

I actually like the postal service and would like to see it remain intact.

You know it is high time that we stop the outsourcing of jobs to foreign (and often enemy) nations. If an American company wishes to manufacture overseas so be it I suppose. Don't put that stuff on a ship and try to sell it back to us though. People are sick of that. Either bring those jobs back home or close up shop. Manufacture overseas? Like I just said......Do not have the audacity to ship your crap back here. This is serious business. There are already rumblings at the grass roots about this issue and it is growing louder by the day. At some point there may be serious backlash against those that continue this practice with a hangman's noose waiting for the unlucky. Far fetched? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Who knows what course that a nation's history will take?

As a proponent of Capitalism it goes against the grain to be anti-business per se. However, a business must not be an engine that damages the well being of the nation (see above). I will use Allstate Insurance as an example (if for no other reason then I have had less than stellar experience in dealing with these thieves). If you have noticed Allstate spends a huge amount of money on advertising. Spending your premiums to attract more premiums as it were. Trying to gather even more cash for what basically is a public service. Try to get Allstate to pay a fair and equitable claim is somewhat of a chore. Try it. Almost impossible in many cases. Even folks who work for their competitors speak of the dishonest business tactics that are rampant at Allstate. Unethical business practice seem to be standard operating procedure with the "Good Hands" folks.

Did you know that the OWS crowd and the Tea Party are, in fact, very similar? Oh does that offend you? Sorry. While the tactics and the belief systems are different (assuming we know what the OWS crowd actually believes), the core belief may well be similar. Both groups know that the country is on the wrong track. Problem is.....no one knows what to do about it. Voting for cookie cutter politicians does not seem to be the answer. Both groups sense that the country is being sold a bill of goods and are frustrated with the direction this country is headed. Aren't we all?

I wonder if the Herman Cain camp has sent a thank you note to folks at Penn State. The Sandusky affair has taken a bit of the limelight off old Herman's (alleged) poontangin. Perhaps the crowd at Hallmark could come up with some cutesy poems just for cases like this.  Here and there as it might be.

That is about enough I guess.
