Oh look! The Federal gov’t is going to make cybersecurity better. Isn’t that wonderful? It’ll have all the astutely managed success of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Intelligence, Defense, and Public Education. We can’t lose! (for those of you slow on the take, that was sarcasm)

One of the industries that really ‘took it on the chin’ early in the unemployment situation we face are people in the news media industry. Isn’t it ironic that the news media outlets that have a liberal bias and worked so hard to get liberal leaders in power weren’t saved by liberal leadership?
I feel for them as I feel for anyone who has lost their job. I know what it’s like. But perhaps these folks will think twice before drinking the koolaid of liberalism again.

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder
Sent from a friend; posted as-is:
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Democratic Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician’s home county said.
The injured intruder, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were reported to not be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, District Attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties.
The State Bureau of Investigation and the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
“I am not in a position to talk to you,” Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in the middle of an investigation.”
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn’t hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the “Do As I Say And Not As I Do” Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. - - - What a classic Liberal hypocrite - - - It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

Once in a great while a rather powerful Youtube video captivates my attention. This one tops most I’ve seen. It’s a video open letter allegedly from liberals who are appalled at what the people they elected are doing, and are coming after them on election day.
Regardless of the true source, the truth it expresses is moving. It’s worth the short watch.

A recent article cites that Harry Reid (fool savant) claims that the GOP would’ve supported slavery and somehow ties this to their opposition to the Healthcare reform act. The man is a liar and an idiot. Here’s why: He choses to be ignorant of history. It was the Democrats who were the slave owners and fought to keep slavery. Characters like John C. Calhoun et. al. were the South Democrats who fought to keep slavery and chose to secede from the Union. Those who fought to abolish slavery such as Abe Lincoln, were REPUBLICANS. After the civil war it took years to establish civil rights for all. Those who fought for civil rights: The Republicans. Those who fought AGAINST civil rights: The Democrats.
The Democrats say they are the party of the people. They say they are the party of the minority, but this is simply rhetoric to pitch a sale. At the end of the day they are nothing but a bunch of sleazy salesman purporting synthetic virtues to convince people to put them in power. Once in power, they forget their promises, and move to expand their control over our lives. They are interested in one thing p-o-w-e-r. And they will say and do anything to get it. Just look at what they do with environmentalism. They claim they weep for the planet, make promises, and legislate that you and I bow down at the alter of this new religion. Why? Because it gives them power. They don’t give a rip about the planet, and any of them that know basic science knows that industrialization is a drop in the bucket of the factors of climate change.
Back to the subject at hand.
See for yourself the history of the Dems on slavery and human rights, and you will be astonished at the stark contrast between what they say and what they do. Hypocrites and liars!

Another good one passed on you me by a good friend. Originator is unknown.
THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER
This one is a little different…
Two Different Versions!
Two Different Morals!
OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!
MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing,
‘It’s Not Easy Being Green.’
Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’
Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.
The ant has disappeared in the snow.
The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

I’ve been silent on this mostly because the sheer volume of fodder and foolishness renders me writer-blocked. But the little ditty below was something floating around in cyberspace that a friend forwarded to me. The simplistic, unencumbered satire says it all:
“Let me get this straight. We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn’t read it, and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that’s broke. ”

Since when do you get a prize - a Nobel Prize none-the-less - for intentions? Well, U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama just did. Read Article. Now it’s official, the Nobel Prize is meaningless. It pains me to say that because I feel sorry for the people who have truely merited such an honor. In Obama’s case, this award is based on what he PLANS on doing rather than what he has done. Unlike most other honorees, his award had no accomplishment behind it, just the empty promises of ‘hope’ and ‘change’.
I have to wonder about the motivating forces behind the award. I have to wonder about the behind-the-scenes influences that drove such a specious accolade. Perhaps someone, somewhere, with influence who is behind Obama (or perhaps driving him as some might think), perhaps this person held sway over the Nobel Committee and saw this as an opportunity to boost his sagging popularity ratings. (Interestingly enough, it took only 150 days of Obama’s presidency for his ratings to plummet to a level that took George Bush’s ratings 5 years and a lot of main-stream media anti-Bush marketing.) Who knows who or what motivation really behind the award? We can’t know for certain without evidence. What we can know for certain is that there’s no meritorious accomplishment on Obama’s part that has made him deserving of the honor; furthermore, this action in an of itself now makes the Nobel prize worthless. This is an insult to those who have done great things to earn the honor, and the committee should bear shame for what they have done.

A recent Fox news article talks about a case coming before the Supreme Court regarding local gun control laws. According to the article the question at hand is one that did not get answered in the historic Heller case. The premise behind the question is “since the DC is a federal zone, federal law applies”. The question being raised now is if this ruling applies to States. More fundamentally they are going to decide whether or not the Bill of Rights applies to States and not just the federal government. Immediately one should think it lunacy if the Bill of Rights did not apply to States, for where could a US citizen then live and have all of their constitution rights be fully protected?
Should states be able to infringe upon freedom of speech or the press? (Amendment 1) Should states be able to infringe upon freedom of religion or establish a State religion? (Amendment 1) Should states be able to infringe upon freedom to petition government? (Amendment 1) Should states be able to infringe upon freedom to peaceably assemble? (Amendment 1) Should states be able to quarter troops in your house without your consent? (Amendment 3) Should States be able to search your property without warrant? (Amendment 4) Should states be able to not give you due process, trial by jury, legal representation, impose double-jeopardy, or force you to incriminate yourself? (Amendment 5-7)
The answer to these questions is a resounding “NO” probably enhanced by expletives. Yet there are those that believe that our rights in Amendment 2 are open for interpretation, regulation, and infringement. What many fail to realize is the Amendment 2 is what secure the rest for the average citizen whether infringement were to come by foreign or local tyranny.
I am not a proponent of violence, but I am certainly a proponent of personal defense of myself, my property, my loved ones, and those around me. To take away this freedom opens the door for fascists in dark corners to then take them all.

Well the Democrats are calling out Rep. Joe Wilson (R) SC for yelling out “you lie” to President Obama. They are threatening to punish him is he doesn’t apologize. Of course, the punishment they are speaking of will most likely be censure, which in the halls of Congress is like a British Bobby yelling “STOP! or I’ll yell ’stop’ again.” It’s toothless and pansified; although, it is important to note that it is only used in extremely rare cases when someone does something which on the liberal side of the isle is a collection of tax-evading, graft-grabbing, power-abusing, pervert-protecting cretins actually considers something to be ‘naughty’.
So what did this guy do that was so bad? In their words “Democrats say the insult clearly violated House rules of decorum. Therefore, the issue needs to be resolved on the House floor, either via apology or resolution,” said Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly.” If our Founding Fathers who wrote the First Amendment used today’s vernacular, they’d say Joe ‘called out’ Barack. And then passionate and healthy debate would ensue.
Here’s the difference: Fascists don’t like to be called out, and they don’t like it when their fellow fascists are called out, so they selectively and abusively apply rules when it suits them. They call for accountability on points of procedure, and yet protect each other in violations of the law. Speaking of points of procedure, how about the time when Nancy Pelosi cut off debate and shut the lights off on in the hall while Elected Representatives were presenting arguments simply because she didn’t like what they had to say. The truth is that Fascists can’t stand in the face of rational debate, they do not like their opinions challenged, and they do not respect anyone else’s. These people who claim they are the party of free speech, choice, openness, and rationalism, are the greatest control freaks and suppressors of ideas, and they are the most severe threat to freedom our nation has seen since 1776.
So here they go again. They are going to go after this guy for trying to stop a train wreck by calling out the President on a bald-faced lie, meanwhile guys like Congressman Charlie Rangel evade paying taxes with impunity and then have the unmitigated gaul to declare he’s going to crack down on tax evaders.
Our prayers are with you Joe. Stick to your guns.

Here’s an oldie but goody that was passed to me a long time ago:
“Question: It is dark and you are walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children after going to the movies. Suddenly, a swarthy, unshaven, 6ft 5in 275lb thug dressed in black with a huge knife comes around the corner and runs at you screaming obscenities. You draw your trusty HK USP .45 loaded with eight 230 grain hydroshocks and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
Liberal/California Answer:
Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he’d be happy with killing just me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to discuss this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.
Conservative Answer: BANG!
WISCONSIN Answer:
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!…. (sounds of magazine being ejected, a loaded one inserted and the slide slamming forward into battery.)
Wife: “Sweetheart, he looks like he’s still moving, what do you kids think?”
Son: “Mom’s right Dad, I saw it too…” BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Daughter: “Nice shot group Daddy!”
This guy, the Mayor of Milwaukee, WI is a hero, not a fallen figure. He intervened at his own peril against someone assaulting a woman and baby.
I don’t know anything else about this guy’s character, but I sure wish there were more politicians having press conferences like this rather than ones where they admit (or lie about) moral failure, or others that pontificate about what they are doing against the will of the people as some sort of benevolent dictator. In this situation, this man is a hero, and is not afraid of self-defense. He is also very humble about the whole incident. This is a great representation of true American values.

Long live INGSOC! 
Seriously these people and the other global power brokers are working towards the same goal. They are subverting free, prosperous, and democratic countries toward global oligarchical collectivism. The ARE the Orwellian vision of government. While they may orchestrate the appearance of democratic elections and independent countries, small groups in dark rooms are pulling the strings of the officials. Sounds like crazy conspiracy-theory stuff, but it’s happening before our eyes, and now more in the open.

Hey folks. Here’s your chance to join the fascist machine of the Obama liberals. The Whitehouse put out a blog posting asking people to report on their neighbors if they appeared to be acting “fishy”. What a crock! What hypocrisy! These are the same clowns who opposed the Patriot Act, a law the had structure and guidlelines, that protect our country, that protect our rights and our freedom, without infringing or violating on them. Now these same people want an unstructured network of suspicion that smacks of Nazi Germany and Old Communist Russia. Instead of reporting to a bureau regulated by the rule of law like the police or FBI, you just call the Furor and his party minions.
What will be fun to watch is the unleashing can of worms that the Whitehouse has opened up for themselves. Can you just imagine the crackpots that will be coming out of the woodwork emailing the Whitehouse? I don’t think they have any idea what they’ve just exposed themselves to. The false and frivolous reports will be unbelievable, and I don’t mean legitimate-looking terror suspects. I mean reports from people who wear tin-foil hats who suspect their neighbors are aliens from another galaxy here trying to steal their thoughts and their belly-button lint. Or people who are at war with their neighbors over fences, lawns, pets, and hedges. It will be priceless!
What are they actually trying to accomplish anyway? Do they think they are more qualified than the established Law Enforcement agencies in this kind of work. Just remember that these are a bunch of party worshiping, MBA students trying to make a name for themselves. Is Obama jealous of the Homeland Security Agency, and the reorganized Federal Law Enforcement agencies? These are all a Bush era creation legacy. These are the ones who could and should be getting the ’skins’ for stopping terrorism on our soil. Now you’ve got the Whitehouse trying to stick their ‘bazoo’ into it and claim fame for stopping terrorism when the fact is that they’ve stood in opposition of these measure thereby putting us all at risk.

After reading this article http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,534855,00.html, all I can picture is Ben Stein saying Anyone? Anyone? Obama? Anyone?
Why? Because North Korea just declared war on us and threatened us. Maybe they have the resources to back up their threat, maybe they don’t. I sincerely hope they don’t because Kim Jong Il is just crazy enough to press the button.
I’d like to see how Barack “Bring ‘em home now and concede defeat” Obama chooses to handle this. Will he be bold like Regan was with Libya, or business as usual - meaning - the typical liberal mentality of roll over and let America be destroyed and give a little help too.
There are no excuses either. Even though our military resources are spread out across Iraq and Afghanistan, we have other ways of stopping this Kim Jong.

The headline and sub reads: Obama Says Slavery’s Past Should Be Taught in United States
President Obama says slavery is a terrible part of the United States’ history and should be taught in a way that connects that past cruelty to current events, such as the genocide in Darfur. source: FoxNews
I couldn’t agree more. But I also couldn’t help thinking about certain truths that will NOT likely come out, and these truths will make a difference, but are not convenient to the most likely Liberal agenda.
Truth #1: African Slavery started as a black-on-black crime. Tribes would capture others in tribal warfare and use them as slaves.
Truth #2: The expansion of slavery to the west did not start as a Anglo-American enterprise. The expansion started when Portugese traders showed up, and in the process of dealing in goods, slaves became a commodity that could be sold for expanding plantation labor. This eventually carried over to the Spanish, Franco, and Anglo American settlements, and while much of the forced labor was not as cruel as the worst treatment we know of, many whites at the time looked the other way when it got worse. There is NO excuse for chattel slavery no matter what John C. Calhoun and the rest of the Democrats tried spin.
Truth #3: The driving force behind the increase of and prolonged existence of American slavery was the greed of the DEMOCRAT plantation owners.
Truth #4: Not all whites were slave owners.
Truth #5: It was the conservative, republicans that were the driving force behind freeing the slaves, and historically the republicans have been the driving force behind civil rights while democrats have been a resistive force. And not the democrats are still using minorities to serve their purposes. See article here: http://redstateradical.com/?p=31
Truth #6: Obama does not a any slave ancestry. Obama’s father was from Kenya on a timeframe long after American slavery and the civil war. He does not have the same kind of heritage stake in this as other blacks.
Yes indeed we should teach about slavery’s past, but we should focus on the whole truth. My suspicion is that this initiative is really going to used to foster a ‘white guilt’ effect in order to push forward a new reverse-racism version of affirmative action. The cover excuse is to highlight Darfur, but conservatives have been trying to do that for years, while liberals have shouted down and censored it. Now these cretins are exploiting the plight of the poor, oppressed people in Darfur to serve their own political agenda.
