I Feel So Much Safer ... Don't You?

So, Obama has chosen Susan Rice to be his next National Security Advisor.  Wow ... if this had been any other administration, I would have been surprised by the sheer stupidity of this.  Obama is rewarding this idiot for lying to the American people on live TV about Benghazi.

Susan Rice has been our UN Ambassador.  She has done a few things there that were OK, but for the most part was as spineless as a piece of wet toilet paper when it came to standing up to the UN and our enemies around the world.  Would you expect her to act any differently as His NSA?

She'll fall lockstep in to what He, his Secretary of Defense, his Chief of Homeland Security, his IRS, his DoJ, and his EPA believe - that the only threat to 'their' America is those who disagree with them - Republicans ... Tea Party members ... Conservatives ... Right to Life.

Just one more example of the absolute lunatic that is in control of the White House.

A Few Truisms To Start June With

The Genius That Is Rush

I still say they're the greatest band in the world ...

For you non-Rushies ... the trio was finally elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year, after years of being snubbed.  The band, which has been together for over 30 years and is now more popular than ever, has been passed over in the past for such notables as ... Donovan ... The Beastie Boys ... Dr. John ... ABBA ... The Stooges ... The Ventures ... The Ronettes ... Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five ... Patti Smith ... The Dells ... Prince ... Elvis Costello ... The Clash ... The Flamingos ... The Moonglows ... Jelly Roll Morton ... and many more.  What B.S.

Well, Rolling Stone finally gave in and let the guys in this year.  Here is an excerpt from their acceptance speech.  Neil and Geddy gave their remarks first, then Alex stepped up and gave a wonderful rendition of the years it has taken for them to be recognized by the HoF.  Without saying a word, he said it all - and everyone familiar with the story knew exactly what he meant.

For those who didn't get it, well ... they just aren't down with Gershon's Haus of Sausages, are they?

These People Just Have No Shame ...

The tornado that ripped through Moore, OK yesterday had been off the ground barely an hour before Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) took to the floor of the US Senate to blame Global Warming for the disaster.  She was not alone.  Left wing moonbats all over the place were spouting out to anyone who would listen that this was caused by man made global climate change.

Sen. Boxer, in particular, was despicable.  She used her time in front of the Senate chamber to push for passage of her Carbon Tax Bill:

"This is climate change.  This is climate change. We were warned about extreme weather: Not just hot weather, but extreme weather. When I had my hearings, when I had the gavel years ago — it’s been a while — the scientists all agreed that what we’d start to see was extreme weather.”

“Carbon could cost us the planet.  The least we could do is put a little charge on it so people move to clean energy.”

Her legislation, co-sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sander (Idiot-VT), penalizes with a 'tax' companies and individuals that actually use coal and oil.  The tax is designed to do nothing but hurt citizens and put money into the government's pocket. 

Senator Boxer, may I ask you a question?

First - Moore, OK has been hit 3 times by F4 tornados.  1999, 2003, and yesterday.  If your incredibly important hearings were correct, and we would begin seeing terrible storms after the hearings, then the 1999 and 2003 events didn't actually happen and must be figments of a far right wing conspiracy, right?


Additionally, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) made a complete fool of himself  on the Senate floor by blaming the lack of belief in global warming by the people of Oklahoma for bringing the disaster down upon themselves.



These people are United States Senators. Even though they are far left wing moonbats, you would think that they'd at least wait until the bodies of the victims cool before spouting their stupid, ignorant, partisan bullshit.

A Lesson On Racism

It seems like forever that I've heard the term 'Jim Crow', or 'Jim Crow Laws'.  It is almost always used (these days) to describe Republicans and/or Conservatives, and is meant as a demeaning attack - essentially calling Republicans racist.

I honestly didn't know who Jim Crow was until recently.  When I heard a sound bite of a black, Democrat Congressman  ranting about how Republicans wanted to return us to the days of 'Jim Crow', my curiosity got to me.

It's easy to find out - a Google search, or Wikipedia, and its right there.  There was no person named 'Jim Crow'.  Jim Crow wasn't some racist Republican Senator or Congressman who passed despicable laws meant to keep the black man down.

The term 'Jim Crow' was originated to describe the song and dance caricature of black folk by a white actor, Thomas D. Rice, who performed mockery of President Andrew Jackson's policies during the 1830s.  Don't ask me why, but that's what the history books say.

'Jim Crow' morphed over the years to generally refer to any law passed that led to or enforced segregation policies. It was a particularly popular phrase during Reconstruction (1865-1877, a period some historians refer to as the Second Civil War).  It was during the 1870s when Southern Democrats, thrown from power immediately after their defeat in the Civil War, regained power in every Southern state - either by lawful voting, voter intimidation, fraud, or violence.  Southern Democrats formed the KKK during the early 1870s, where it functioned as the paramilitary arm of the Democrat Party, and openly fought Federal troops and murdered thousands of blacks and Republican whites.  It was also popular in the early 1900s, to describe the efforts of President Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, to pass far reaching segregation enforcement laws.

'Jim Crow' is thrown around a lot these days.  I will bet that almost every one who uses it has no idea where it comes from.  I heard a national TV interview with a black Democrat Congresswoman about a year ago, where she wondered aloud who was going to be the Republican's next Jim Crow - clearly she believed that Mr. Crow was some hateful, racist Republican from past years.

The term describes something that is disgusting.  I wish that those who were using it would take the time to learn where it came from, who was responsible for its origin, and who was responsible for the heinous laws and policies it is used to describe during our country's history (DEMOCRATS).


The period of Reconstruction, the 12 years after the Civil War, was anything but reconstructive.  It was a time of massive violence - essentially the Southern Democrat Party and its army, the KKK, continued the Civil War.  There were thousands of people killed, with pitched battles between Federal troops and the KKK - it really was a continuation of the war.  It is a fascinating period of our country's history, one that is sorely ignored in the history books and classes.  No wonder - do you think liberal academia is going to teach our young about the horrific origins of their precious Democrat Party?

Thanks Google ...

I doubt anyone has noticed, but I've deleted the 'reaction' footer to my postings.  Although I found this feature informative, in recent months there have been problems with it.  On multiple occasions, I found that the 'agree' numbers would be reset to zero, particularly on posts that were critical of the Obama Administration.

Whether this was on purpose by Google, or a bug in their widget, I do not know.  However, it is a known fact that the folks who run Google are big Obama fans and Democratic campaign donors.  I'll leave you to make your own determination.

Washington Redskins Suck ... but ...

Being a Cowboys fan, I have nothing positive to say about the Washington Redskins.  The hated Redskins.  Hate their players, hate their coaches, REALLY HATE their owner.

However, I have to give kudos and a well done to Daniel Snyder, the owner, for this comment delivered to USA Sports yesterday;

"We'll never change the name.  It's simple.  NEVER."

This in response to an inquiry about the liberal pressure building to change the team's name and mascot. 

Mr. Snyder, I still hate you and your team (except RGIII), but I have a good deal of respect for you for delivering that shot against PC run amok.

Obama's DHS Hoarding Even MORE Bullets!

Our Department of Homeland Security has communicated to ammunition manufacturers, querying which ones can provide an order of 2 million rounds of ammunition in a short turnover situation (30-60 days after placement of order).  No explanation has been provided for the reason for the short turnaround, and no explanation why DHS needs 2 million additional rounds of ammo on top of the millions they've been stockpiling recently.

There are only two valid explanations.

First, DHS wants to book manufacturing capability, to make sure that those bullets are not available for sale to the general public.

Second, DHS is continuing its buildup of firepower for possible use against the citizens of this country.

Remember - DHS has no interests, tasks, or obligations outside of our borders.  They will play no part in armed dealings with another country unless that country invades the United States.  ALL other armed dealings with other countries are handled by the US military.

What in the hell are Obama and Napalitano preparing for?  Are they seriously worried that they are pushing us so far that it will result in armed revolt?

(The GAO has just begun an investigation into why DHS is buying so much ammo.  One hopes for an impartial effort, and one that is not delayed for years by Obama, DHS, and DoJ stonewalling.)

Update - Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) agrees.  In an interview with Aaron Klein/WABC Radio over the weekend, he stated the following:

“Let’s make sure that your audience out there is aware, Aaron, that our president, Obama, has been doing everything he could to stop the private ownership of guns in America,” Inhofe said. “You know that, everyone knows that. And yet he’s been voted down in a big way by a large majority. And so my feeling is that he’s doing this to buy up [ammunition] so that we can’t buy.  Honest, law-abiding citizens here in the United States, like my son, can’t even buy ammunition because government is purchasing so much.”

Sen. Inhofe went on to explain how he is trying to combat this outrage, through his introduction of the "Ammunition Management for More Obtainability" bill.  The crux of this proposed legislation is to restrict the Obama Administration to buying no more ammunition for non-defense purposes to levels maintained prior to His Highness taking power.

When Does Protected Speech Become Hate Speech?

You've probably all heard about the nitwit girl at Carnegie-Mellon University who has caused quite a stir with her parade getup.  Dressed as the Pope from the waist up, naked from the waist down, a cross shave into her pubic hair, handing out condoms as she flaunted her outrageousness down the parade route. 

What message she was trying to project is pretty clear - she thinks the Catholic Church is backwards in its stance towards contraceptives - and probably abortion as well.  She took the parade as a chance to voice that opinion, as well as shock people - which is what all liberal, far left, koolaid drinking college kids want, isn't it?  To get noticed?  Hell, this is probably the highlight of her life, and the biggest accomplishment of her to be launched career. 

It is outrageous.  Is it free speech, as protected by the First Amendment?  Isn't it against the law in PA to walk around naked?  Is this hate speech directed at an organized religion, which is a crime?

I guarantee that if she had made a similar statement about Islam, Obama and the rest of his Administration would be all over the news condemning it.  Holder and his Brownshirts would be on their way to arrest the young lady for inciting violence with her insensitive, racist, intolerant  exhibition of hatred towards the peace loving peoples of the Islamic faith.

Instead, since it is Christianity she is insulting, it is simply a protected expression of Free Speech, to be admired and applauded - according to the left.   

Disgusting ...

Obama Coming To Dallas For Cash

His Highness is visiting Dallas this Thursday, April 25th.  The 'official' reasons for this are to attend the opening of the George W. Bush Library at SMU on Thursday morning, along with all the other living Presidents (this is customary for ANY Presidential Library's opening), and to attend a memorial service in West, Texas in the afternoon.  OK, both of those are understandable, and laudable.

However, a third event to be held Thursday evening is the prime attraction, the biggest reason His Highness would lower himself to set foot in the Republic of Texas.

A Democrat fundraiser, held in Obama's honor, will be held at the house of Naomi Aberly and Larry Lebowitz.  Those two are married, though you wouldn't know it by looking at the names.  Aberly is a big time Democrat fundraising 'bundler', responsible for over a million dollars for Obama's two White House runs.  Lebowitz is a very rich hedge fund manager.  Both are sympathetic donors to various Democrat causes, including Planned Parenthood.

The home the dinner will be held at is valued at over 10 million.  It has over 12,000 square feet, 5 full baths, 3 half baths, two fireplaces, and a pool.  It is in the most exclusive area of Dallas, home of the ultra rich.

Sixty lucky donors will be allowed the honor of being under the same roof as the Royal Couple.  Over a million dollars is expected to be raised for Democrat coffers at the event, which is closed to the media.

Now, there's nothing illegal about this under our current system.  Obama can come to Dallas, or go to Hollywood, and walk away with huge bags of cash from the liberal elite.  I don't even consider it immoral ... EXCEPT for the liberal hypocrisy of it.

Here is Obama schmoozing for dollars from the evil, rich, lily white 1% he so publicly despises.  Here are rich liberals, eagerly handing over piles of their own money to this guy who professes to hate them and what they stand for.  Here is a hedge fund manager - the epitomy of evil capitalism that Obama's Administration had pledged to eradicate, turning over gobs of cash to help that Administration. 

A sane person just has to ask 'why'?  Not just conservatives, but liberals as well, ought to be questioning the hypocrisy of this.  The '99%'s' ought to be wondering what the hell is going on, when their Lord and Savior is hobnobbing with the very people he has told them to hate.

Do you think Aberly, Lebowitz, and the other 60 or so fools in attendance give a damn about poor black people?  Do you think they lose sleep over the plight of the poor, innocent, hard working undocumented workers from our south?  Are they concerned over the lack of adequate healthcare for the victims of virtual slavery imprisoned in our inner cities?  Oh, hell no ...

If they were sincere, they would be turning over all of their money and possessions, giving them to either the government, or to charity.  Of course they could keep a little, say $50K each, to help them until they could pick up a job flipping burgers.  But once they are settled in that job, they should be perfectly happy with their circumstance, thrilled that the government is providing them with so much, and internally comfortable knowing that they 'made a difference'.

Instead, they sit behind armies of lawyers and accountants, pulling every trick legal and illegal, to skirt the tax system in order to keep as much of their money as possible.  They look down their noses at the very people they profess to idolize.

It's not about social justice - its about control and power.  These fundraisers are all about buying influence, and the time old tradition of trying to be seen with the 'in crowd'.  Hypocrites ...

Suppose Cancer Is Cured ... What Then?

I was listening to Rush's show on Friday.  He was doing his annual fundraising show for blood cancer research.  23 years he's been doing it.  An incredible amount of money has been raised just during his shows, generous donations from his listening base - all directed towards research to come up with treatments and a cure for blood cancers.

As a nation, we are very generous in our giving to causes like this.  Defeating illness and disease is something we can all get behind.  Billions of dollars are raised and spent each year trying to defeat these heinous diseases, and thereby lengthen our lives.

What will happen, one day, when cancer is defeated?  Yes, there will be celebration.  It will be a great accomplishment for mankind.  But ... what are the ramifications?

If you take the 'humanity' out of the equation, the defeat of cancer (as an example), will change our lives, change our economy, and have a direct impact upon thousands (if not millions) of lives - beyond those who are afflicted with the disease.  Consider ...

What happens to the charitable organizations whose sole purpose is raising money to defeat the diseases?  The hundreds of employees who work for those organizations?

What happens to the drug companies, and other research organizations who are staffed and funded to attack and defeat cancer - or even a certain type of cancer?  If cancer is beaten, what happens to the folks who defeat it? 

What happens to the medical facilities who exist to fight cancer?  If a vaccine is developed, or a simple, easy to use treatment comes to light, what about all the cancer centers around the country?  All the cancer treatment departments in hospitals all over the country? 

What happens to all the healthcare workers, doctors, researchers, and everyone else associated with the fight against cancer - when they are suddenly not needed?

What happens to the financial stability of the companies who are in the center of the fight against cancer, when it is defeated and the drugs to be used become cheap generics? 

What happens to our retirement system?  How will the country afford to keep issuing Social Security checks to seniors, when the primary cause of death suddenly goes away and the nominal length of life increases by 10 years or so?


Please, don't get me wrong.  These diseases are bad news, and we need to defeat them.  I lost my parents prematurely because of them.  However, the result of such a defeat isn't going to be a celebration for everyone!

I am not the first person to ask this question. However, it is not being asked very loudly.  There are a few voices out there who theorize that the search for cures to these diseases is not being pursued as strongly as we might believe.  The search for treatments for the disease goes on at full speed.  Why would some folks believe this?  Because of the money involved.  The fight against cancer is BIG BUSINESS.  Find the cure, solve the problem, and you end the money flow.  Come up with expensive treatments that extend life without getting rid of the disease, and you guarantee continual profits.  I am NOT one who believes this, but if you think about it and have any belief at all in black helicopters, you can see why some folks could believe it.

National Gun Registry - It's On Its Way

As I've been telling you here for some time, one of the biggest things Democrats are trying to push through under the guise of gun control is a National Gun Registry.  This is pure, unadulterated, liberalism out of control.

Well, according to Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), language in the bi-partisan 'background check' compromise bill that Dems and Repubs are so proud of will allow Eric Holder and his boss to create such a registry.  They can do it without Congressional approval, without Congressional oversight, without any vote by Congress or the people, and with whatever rules and regulations they wish.

Republicans - don't get fooled by Democrats complaining that they are giving up too much in this 'compromise' bill.  It is a ruse.  The biggest thing they want is buried in there.  Contact your Representatives and Senators and demand language in any bill that will specifically forbid the establishment of any kind of registry for gun owners anywhere in this country!   (And then watch the Democrats howl bloody murder!)






Update - Even more is coming to the surface about what's buried in this bill.  Doctors will be authorized to declare someone a mental health threat unilaterally - no hearings, no independent verification.  If they do so, the doctor will be required to report such a person to the government as mentally ill.  At that point, such a person is blacklisted for many things, not only gun ownership.  There is no limit as to how far such information would spread. 

What if the doctor is mistaken?  What if the doctor is having a bad day and makes a rash judgement?  What happens if the doctor doesn't like the patient, or is having an affair with a patient's spouse? 

Under this bill, you can be declared mentally ill, have it reported to the government, and not even know it!
