Congress Takes Over Everything

Senator Christopher Dodd ID., Conn.) on the new Finance Bill:

This is about as important as it gets, because it deals with every single aspect of our lives.


No kidding. It gives a newly created government bureaucracy the power to interfere in any business at any level, at any time, and without warrant, reason or purpose. It gives those same unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats the power to take over any business if - for any reason - they don't like how it's being managed or run.

This bill tries to nullify the 4th and 5th amendments of the United States Constitution, so perhaps the courts will strike it down after the legal challenges that will surely arise.

Franks and Dodd are some of the Congressional pushers behind this 2,000 page nightmare.(photo below)


Does anyone actually believe these two weasels can come up with a plan to better run American business' than the business owners themselves? They're politicians... Socialist Progressive politicians! They've never had a real job in their lives. They've never had to meet a payroll, or sweat where the next paycheck is coming from.

It's all about total control. These government weenies actually believe they can better plan and run everything in the country and are chomping at the bit to try it, the rest of us be damned.

We all know better. Everything the government has ever touched or run is bankrupt, including itself. Just look at the record. The last thing we need is to give these lunatics the opportunity to destroy everything else.

We are told this bill will to provide for more "consumer protections". Anybody who believes that also believes in the tooth fairy.

One thing for certain:

If Obama likes it, it's rotten to the core.

Mixed Signals

Obama's latest pick for the Supreme Court has come under direct attack:


Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is “not kosher” -- meaning she is not fit to serve on the court -- according to more than 850 Orthodox members of the Rabbinical Alliance of America. That's the term the rabbis used about Kagan in a press release issued Thursday, saying "Elena Kagan is not kosher. She is not fit to sit on this Court -- or any court."


The fact that they failed to prevent the election of a Muslim-schooled radical of foreign birth to head this government is starting to bear the fruits of disaster for Israel and the Jews in general.

Ignoring - or overlooking - his Muslim roots is proving to be a growing disaster.

What is it in Kagan's seemingly positive pro-amnesty, pro-homosexual, pro-feminist and anti-family background that has stirred the Rabbinical Alliance of America into action against her?

This may not be about Kagan at all. She just may be a pawn in a much bigger fight.

That fact that over 300 House Members and over 90 Senators just sent a letter to Obama proclaiming how alarmed and distressed they are over his views on the recent Israeli Commando raid may be what is really behind this attack on Kagan.

You know... Toe the line Barry, or we'll roadblock everybody and everything you want.

Patriotism



Just look at all that flag-waving and excitement.

Was it at a political convention?

Was it a show of support for our Constitution and the rule of law?

Was it in support of Arizona's new immigration effort?

Was it Jewish-Americans finally showing a bit of support for America?

Nope.

It was for a soccer game.

$20 Billion Shakedown

I personally believe that the arm-twisting shakedown of BP by the Obama thugs is beyond disgraceful. It is unlawful. Neither Obama nor Congress have any Constitutional right or authority to demand BP give up this money to the federal government.

Let's look at a few facts on all this mess:

BP originally asked to drill a new well in 500 feet of water. This requested was approved by the State of Louisiana but the federal government refused permission and demanded that the well be drilled in 5,000 feet of water.

Fact 1:

This well was being drilled in 5,000 - not 500 - feet of water because of the federal government and the green idiots in positions of power.

Over a dozen nations offered help contain all this oil by using some of the best and most modern equipment available, equipment neither BP nor the United States has. They were not allowed to help.

Fact 2:

From the very beginning, the federal government refused assistance, citing the Jones Act, a depression-era law created to protect union workers in the 1920's. The Union grip around Obama's neck has cost us dearly.

BP offered to honor all legitimate claims for damage, even though our federal government had created a law that required them to be liable for only 75 million dollars worth of damage. BP established a 10 BILLION DOLLAR fund to cover these claims. By doing so, BP guaranteed that 9 billion, 925 million dollars above the federal government cap would be available to settle claims.

Chew on that for a minute. 9 billion, 925 million dollars above what the federal government originally wanted.

The Chicago thugs in Washington were not satisfied with that, because it would be BP writing the checks. The Chicago thugs wanted to get their hands on all that CASH, all that real money, all those billions that will now not go to those who need it. The Chicago thugs will make a few widely publicised payments with our compromised media in tow, but I guarantee you that the most of that now 20 billion dollar giveaway of real cash will vanish forever.

Fact 3:

By defying the law and ignoring our Constitution, Obama and his masters are going to pocket billions more, and there is no one to stop them.

BP guaranteed a fund of 10 billion dollars - and set the cash aside - to help anyone with a legitimate claim.

Now, BP has to cough up 10 billion more, not into the original fund, but into the hands of lawless criminals, thieves of the first magnitude.

The real victims in all this will see little of that twenty billion. No one should believe that all the money would have been properly disbursed, there is always pilfering and cheating of some degree. But at least with BP, they would have got a whole lot more of that 10 billion dollars. With Obama and his 40 thieves? A few hundred million at best to cover their tracks. Wait and see.

Fact 4:

BP should not have caved. They should have challenged Obama. Or told him to go to hell.

They still should.

Fact 5:

We should demand that every penny of that twenty billion be fully accounted for... Where it went, why, who got it, and how much. None of this ludicrous Obama kind of "transparency", but a real hard-nosed, wide-open accounting of every dollar.

But that is about as likely as Christ returning at noon tomorrow.

Can't Make This Stuff Up

Tiger Woods


has a nine-year-old love child, one of his many former mistress claimed today.

Porn actress Devon James, 29, said she was made pregnant by the disgraced golfer after meeting him while she was a teenager at a Christian school.


Wowzers... If the kid was born offshore somewhere he just may be future presidential material.

Let's see here... She's 29, the kid is 9, that made her either a pregnant 20-year-old teenager, or a 19-year-old halfwit still in school.

But at least she found her 15 minutes of fame.

Roosevelt On Immigration

In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.. And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.


Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Hell yes.

Helen Thomas

After fifty years, Helen Thomas - for whatever reason - Let her real feelings out about Israel. No sense in repeating what she said, you no doubt had heard it or read it a dozen times already.

Was she just laughed at and ignored? Looked at as just another 89-year-old whose mind may be slipping away? Did the media pundits just comment that she had a right to her opinions and move on?

No.

The worst and ugliest pictures of this woman are splashed about everywhere. Media anchors and their guests voice outrage and universal condemnation for a person who exposed a diverse point of view from their own. All this from the supposed champions of diversity.

And ordinary Americans everywhere shake their heads, look distressed, or confused, or uncaring, and - as usual - do nothing, say nothing.

I am not a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim. I have no bone to pick with any of them. But I am an American, and when their religious arguments pull America, It's government and it's people into their endless war, it's time to remind ourselves that America was founded on the idea that our government would neither support nor condemn any religion.

As an American citizen, Helen has the Constitutional right to voice her opinions... About anything, and she should be able to do so without fear of her reputation or her job.

This particular opinion of hers about an Israeli occupied Palestine happens to be shared by billions of other people on this planet. More people believe this than those who believe the Jews are there by divine right, or any other right.

We do ourselves no favors when we demonstrate to the world that we will destroy any individual - anywhere - who happens to disagree with the particular beliefs of any religion.

As a sovereign nation, America should not be supporting any side in this endless conflict between religious points of view.

It should not be a concern to Americans how this millenia-old war between the Jews and the Arabs turns out. It's their fight, not ours. But now that we have been dragged into it, we have a vital interest in seeing it settled before more damage like 9-11 is done to us.

American Christians rightly have an interest in seeing this area peaceful and stable since it is where their Lord And Saviour was born and died. But no more than that... An interest.

American Jews and Arabs have the right to privately support - however they see fit - their choice of the combatants. But they do not have the right to entangle the American government or to have any access to the American treasury.

This Helen Thomas matter demonstrates that we are not in control our our actions or our decisions.

No matter how you look at this, it is bad for us. If we Americans continue to do nothing about our involvement in this matter, It can only get worse.

One solution is that the area referred to as the "Holy Land" be turned over to an international body consisting of none of the combatants, to be operated and governed like a world heritage site, a museum open to visits by all those involved, but controlled by none of them.

Is there a solution other than a final dectructive conflict?

So far, history has indicated no.

Will this war again spill over into open armed conflict, eventually using all the modern WMD's at our disposal?

So far, history has indicated yes.

So what's the solution? If all you God-fearing, peace-loving warmongers can't find one, who can?

Audio Evidence

Israel has released audio tapes of the terrorists' conversations on board those relief ships just before the Israeli soldiers boarded the ships. FOX news played a bit of one for us a few moments ago. On those tapes are statements such as:

"We're here to support the Arabs."
"Remember 9-11, guys."

Terrible. Terrible. Vicious animals ready and willing to kill anybody not of their belief system.

Just a thought or two before I buy into it...

The only audio on the tape was the voices. If you have ever been on a smallish vessel at sea, you know there are ocean sounds, engine sounds, lots of sounds... All the time. There was none of that on these tapes.

The voices were all monotone, no excitement in them at all, as one would expect, if the Israeli warships and helicopters were fast approaching, full of commandos "armed with paint ball guns" - If one is to believe Glen Beck...

Most dubious, the taped conversations were in ENGLISH.

Now why would a group of Arab "terrorists" getting ready to confront Israeli commandos have a calm, quiet talk amongst themselves in English?

How did the Israeli's get the tapes in the first place? Did they drop a tape recorder on board one of those boats just before the raid?

For that matter, when would any commander of a high risk military operation proceed by arming their best and brightest with paint ball guns?

It's hard to believe that the FOX news editors thought this audio "evidence" to be real, and that the FOX anchors are so naive as to believe this tape was genuine.

Maybe the Israeli commandos really did board that ship armed only with paint ball guns. Maybe the terrorists on board spoke only English.

Propaganda is always expected and should be generally ignored, particularly when it is as crude and amateurish as this was.

Time For Total War

ENOUGH!

The Mexican government is opening a satellite consular office on Catalina Island -- a small resort off the California coast with a history of drug smuggling and human trafficking -- to provide the island's illegal Mexican immigrants with identification cards.

When they issue the first card, we Americans should arrest the entire consular office staff and deport them.

I am fed up with all this treasonous conduct from these anti-American Mexicans - legal or otherwise - in the United States and their demands that we ignore their criminal activities. I am disgusted that we tolerate their collapsing government in Mexico that repeatedly spits in our faces.

But it's not just Mexican illegals, it's the whole disgusting batch of them.

I am disgusted with a president and Congress that fellates those despicable American businessmen who want this illegal alien work force for no other reason than to increase profits. Arrest all those law-breaking businessmen and Congresspeople who are behind this, throw them in jail and toss away the key. The human misery they are - and have been - causing is monumental.

Twelve to twenty million illegals here now? I do not care how long it takes... Round up and deport every one of them we can find. Arrest and jail any American or Mexican-American, or Chinese, or Vietnamese, or(fill in ethnic origin of your choice here) who harbors or hires an illegal, regardless of race, sex, age or national origin. And no more becoming an American citizen just because your illegal parents managed to have you born here.

You say the price of our vegetables will double? So how does that compare to the huge cost of supporting 20 million illegals ? Illegals who pay no taxes, contribute nothing to the community except to raise the crime rates, illegals who are taking our jobs, killing our citizens, raping our women, polluting our schools and bankrupting our hospitals? Illegals who have overloaded and are destroying every safety net we have created in this nation that was intended for our own citizens?

Arrest and jail the Mayors and City Councilors that have made "Sanctuary Cities" of their towns.

Arrest and jail any damned idiot that invades our city streets demanding rights for criminals. And if they're waving a foreign flag in the process, arrest them for treason and for attempting to overthrow the government of the United States. If they are an illegal, deport them.

I'm sick and tired of pressing 1 for English. I'm sick and tired of seeing all our government entities having to print everything in Spanish so a few ignorant illegals can feel more comfortable while breaking our laws.

These invaders are laughing at us. They think we are the dumbest people on the face of the earth. They are working at taking away everything we are and own, while we fret and stew over whether we should stand up for ourselves... Or just roll over and die.

Such actions would be a human tragedy? Inhumane? The UN would have a hissy fit? The cranky old men at the Hague would yell foul? Too freaking bad. This human wave of illegals, this army of invaders is destroying us as a nation and a people. Just look at the human tragedy we Americans are experiencing by allowing these invaders to have their way. Schools breaking down. Hospitals being closed. Exotic foreign diseases being spread throughout our population. Welfare costs skyrocketing. All our religions and our morals under full frontal attack.

Everywhere, state and local governments are facing bankruptcy trying to support, educate, heal and house this army of ignorant and anti-American illegals.

Not to mention the thousands apon thousands of lives being ruined by the drug smugglers who invade our country with total impunity. Drug smugglers who have bought off who knows how many policemen and politicians. We need to find these bought-out scum and put them where they can make little rocks out of big rocks for the rest of their despicable lives.

Seal the border. Air tight. Electrify it and post warning signs(press 2 for Spanish) that the fence will electrocute them. Have the U.S. Coast Guard board and search every single boat that comes in from anywhere in Central or South America. Boats found to be hauling the drugs that are killing Americans should be sunk on the spot, the crew arrested and executed. Have border agents board and examine every airplane from the same places with the same results. Sorry, no exceptions. This is a war of survival.

Lastly, announce to the world that legal immigrants are fine and dandy.

If countries have citizens that want to come to America, they can apply at(a reopened) Ellis Island, learn decent English and take an oath to support and protect the United States of America.

Just like all the others before them. If they don't want to do that, to hell with them.

Just like our grand and great-grandparents did.

I'm starting to get angry. And what was it that David Banner always said?

"Don't make me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry."

One other thing... No more of this slimy "dual-citizenship" crap. Either you are an American citizen, or you are not. Period.

Like I said:

ENOUGH!

To An Overprotected Generation

From a member of an earlier one...

We survived being born to mothers who smoked and drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, ate tuna from a can and never got tested for diabetes.

After all that trauma, we were put to bed on our tummies in a crib covered with lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicines, no childproof locks on doors or cabinets. When we rode our bikes we had no helmets, no elbow pads, no knee pads, no training wheels.

As infants and children, we rode in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of an open pickup on a hot day was always a real treat.

We drank water from a garden hose, not a plastic bottle. We ate cupcakes, white bread loaded with real butter, drank kool-ade loaded with sugar but never got fat, because we were always outside playing.

We would leave home in the morning, disappear for the entire day, and nobody would mind ,so long as we were home before dark.

We had nothing like a cell phone... Nobody could reach us all day.

And we were fine.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendos, X-boxes or computers. we had no video games at all. We had maybe three black-and-white TV stations, not 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound, no CD's or I-pods,no cell phones or personal computers, no internet or chat rooms.

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We were given bb guns on our tenth birthday and our first .22 on our twelfth.

We made up games with sticks or old tennis balls, and although we were repeatedly warned, never put out somebody's eye.

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those that didn't had to learn to deal with rejection and disappointment... And get on with life.

The idea that a parent would bail us out if we broke the law was unheard of. Our parents actually sided with the law.

Our generation produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever, and the past fifty years has seen an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, experienced both success and failure, was taught what responsibibilty is, and learned from it all.

So, if you get the sudden urge to run through the house with a pair of scissors in your hand, go ahead. Odds are you're going to live through it.

Ugh

REHOBOTH BEACH, Delaware - Rehoboth Beach lifeguards requested police assistance late Saturday afternoon for a situation involving a group of transgender men who had their breasts exposed according to a report by the Rehoboth Weekend Update.

No kidding. A bunch of overweight males who think they are really female. Who on earth would want to eyeball their breasts?

I can just hear it now:

"Oohhh... heshe has such lovely breast hair."

Riiight.

I'm not sure about all this "End of Days" stuff, but if it were true, this would surely be another sign.

A Prayer For Obama

A recently spotted bumpber sticker:

"Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8"

I couldn't agree more.

Why?

Psalm 109:8

"Let his days be few; and let another take his office"

Check it out.

Damned Overpaid Cattle Guards

A few months ago, President Obama received a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Because Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the guards immediately.

Before the Interior Secretary could respond and presumably straighten him out, Vice-President Joe Biden intervened with a request that before any guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.

---->sigh<----

For those of you who have never traveled to the West or Southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing.




For some reason the cattle will not step on the guards, probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.

Sure, it's a joke, but I would not be surprised if it wasn't.

Wild Dogs

Iranian President Ahmadinejad, known for his anti-Israel rhetoric, called Israeli commandos who rappelled onto the Gaza-bound flotilla "wild dogs"...

News flash:

Everybody's commandos are "wild dogs". They are trained to be so. They are trained to go in blasting and not to be worrying about the political fallout.They will definitely hurt people and break things... that's their job.

Once you turn them loose, be prepared for the consequences.

The real problem behind this raid gone horribly wrong is the decision-making process by the deskbound crowd in Israel's government that sent these commandos to attack vessels in International waters.

They should blamed, not the commandos.

Me Too... Sort Of

The Jerusalem Posts claims that:

Iran has amassed more than two tons of enriched uranium, the International Atomic Energy Agency said Monday in a report that heightened Western concerns about the country preparing to produce a nuclear weapon.

Really? Two Tons? How enriched? Enriched enough for a weapon, or just enriched enough for some fuel rods in a power plant? As they say, the devil is in the details.

It could be claimed that I - or any of us - with some detergent and gasoline from our vehicles have the materials to make a napalm bomb.

Just having the raw materials available doesn't mean that the next step is some sort of fearsome weapon.

Remember, this is a "claim" made in the Jerusalem Post. As usual, before you run off down the street yelling that the sky is falling, you must first consider the source and the motives behind it.

You Gotta Be Kidding

CNSNews.com) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says she believes she must pursue public policies "in keeping with the values" of Jesus Christ, "The Word made Flesh."

Now that is just plain unbelievable. This Godless Progressive is all of a sudden turning to Christ?

She claims to be Catholic. She may go to church - for show - and pretend to be religious, but she is an abortionist who has voted against any law that could protect the unborn. She is pro GLBT and anti-family. Just check her voting record.

Now we are to believe she makes public policy based on the teachings of Christ?

All this cynical old woman is doing is trying to suck up to the Christian majority in America, even more so the Mexicans in California, who are indeed mostly (real) Catholics.

Don't buy it.

She's just working on keeping her job, while at the same time demonstrating that she - and people like her - will say or do anything to stay in power.

A prime candidate for the French solution if ever there was one.
