Brilliant!

McCain has always got a pleasant and masterful surprise up his sleeve.  His VP selection is no different.

DNC Dishonesty

As I think of things to post, I’m going to start a running list of claims that were dishonest at the DNC.

1. Several speakers including Barack Obama claimed that it was President Bush’s fault that jobs were going over to China.  But let’s go into the way-back machine and track how this really came about.  It was none other than Bill Clinton who fought tooth and nail, and pushed on all his political capital to enter into a trade agreement with China that granted them ‘Most Favored Nation Status”.  It was he and the democrats that have perpetrated this upon us, and we have been suffering for it for more than the last eight years.  This is fact.  Look it up.

2. Gore’s poor comparison:  False prophet Al Gore compare Barack Hussein Obama with Abraham Lincoln.  The difference is, Lincoln wasn’t a racist, and Lincoln fought to free enslaved people.  They contrast, not compare.

As a general comment on the speeches in this convention, I just can’t believe there are this many people (a stadium full) who actually buy the irrational, emotional, unsubstantiaed claims that are being made.

Vladimir Poopin

Opinion: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is a lying sack of crap.

“SOCHI, Russia (CNN) — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of orchestrating the conflict in Georgia to benefit one of its presidential election candidates.  ”

From: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/28/russia.georgia.cold.war/index.html?eref=rss_topstories#cnnSTCVideo 

Yeah, sure it’s our fault that this happened since we back a country who wants to be free, and speak out against brutal facist dictatorships trying to take them over.  Idiot! … and I suppose those were U.S. tanks and U.S. soldiers rolling in from Russia and taking over Georgia.   

Dirty Diaper

I thought Obama wanted “change”, but selecting Joe Biden for his VP is like changing a clean diaper for a dirty one.  Joe Biden has been in the Senate longer than, well, longer than even John McCain.  This is antithetical to the “change” and fresh ideas that Obama touts he’s about.  He is rather pulling in the old guard democrat that has been part of the liberal engine that has subverted this country for so many years.  I daresay the spin doctors on the DNC really pulled the strings on this one to ‘buy back’ the Democratic voting base.  This just supports my opinion in a previous article entitled “Still Slaves” where I purport that minorities in this country are slaves of a different color to the racist democratic party.

Could Obama have ‘jumped the shark’ more on this choice?

Out of touch

According to the article found on ABC News http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/08/kaine-on-mccain.html , Barack Hussein Obama is attacking John McCain because Senator McCain couldn’t remember how many houses he owned.  Obama’s claim is that this is an illustration of how McCain is out of touch with the American people, and the Obama campaign has raced to create negative campaign ads purporting this argument.  Allow me to describe how bereft of rational thought Obama’s claims are.

First of all, if this is all they have on John McCain they had better be worried, for this is a low and desperate attempt to slur someone.  And if this is all they have, then they have nothing to say.  Possessing personal wealth even a great deal of wealth is not wrong, and it is not a matter of bad integrity.  Integrity only comes into question when you examine how someone obtained and uses wealth, and whether it was done lawfully or not.  These arguments are hypocritical in nature since Mr. Obama’s annual income last year was 10x that of John McCain’s.  These arguments are meant to only cast a negative view of Senator McCain based on class envy.

Recession Obsesssion

The economy grew last quarter at a rate twice that of the previous quarter, and that’s BAD news. At least it was reported by the mainstream media as bad news. They and the liberal spin machine keep kicking the word “recession” around as if we are in one, and they depict that all is gloomy. The FACT of the matter is that while the economy has cooled off, we have not experienced a recession. A true recession is defined as having two consecutive quarters with a negative GDP (gross domestic product). That’s Economics 101 folks. We have not experienced recession here. We could have very well been on our way to recession however, due to different initiatives like the Bush economic stimulus package, it appears that we have likely avoided recession. That’s pretty good planning. There have been different global influences that have thrust us into the economic slow-down, that is, mostly the petroleum markets. We’ve experienced oil market spikes in the past. All of them led to inflation and recession. So far we have not experienced either one this time around. This is bad news to the liberal punch-guzzlers because they WANT it to be bad so that people will vote for ‘change’, even though the kind of change they will bring about is Marxist in nature and will ultimately lead to long-term economic depression. They are actively opposing measures like drilling and mining our own natural resources. It is not because they really care about the environment, it is because they will lose their sticking point that they are leveraging to gain the control over us that they want. Look at what they say, then what they do. It doesn’t add up. They do not care about us even though they say they do. They do not care about the environment, even though say they do. They just want power, and they are trying to fabric desperate scenarios that will make us be willing to give it to them.

Oppose them. Vote them out. Stand up for you freedom to pursue happiness.

In Harm’s Way

When people started to criticize the words of his wife, Barack Hussein Obama expressed stern warning saying “lay off” and “don’t go there”.

Now hang on a minute. How lame is this? What is he against, free speech? Well certainly not for him or her. Just for those that might disagree and voice their opinion regarding what the Obama’s say or do. Liberals bang the gong of free speech when it suits their needs, but this aciton reveals the typical liberal elitist double-standard held by the Obamas.

The simple fact is Michelle Obama publicly made comments which were consequently publicly commented upon. The simple harm that she may come to is criticism. I contend that if he didn’t want her to be put in “harm’s” way, he shouldn’t have allowed her to be in a place where she would be exposed.

What does this say about his ability to protect our country? When he unconditionally sits down to talk with leaders of nations that seek our destruction, will he expose us? Then when they turn on us and threaten us with harm, what is he going to do? Is he going to say “lay off, don’t go there” when he shouldn’t have put us in harm’s way in the first place?

He can’t even think ahead enough to protect his family from minor harm, what makes anyone think that he is going to think ahead enough to protect our country from devastation? Will he lead our nation in harm’s way like he did his family?

Still Slaves

Many people today are still slaves to the “party of slavery and civil rights violations” and they don’t even know it.  What do I mean?  I mean that many people in America, especially many black people, are still in servitude slave-masters.  “How so?”, you may ask.  The Democratic party has simply found new and modern ways to manipulate and control the lives of people.  Instead of using whips and shackles, they use lies and false promises.  While they specifically target minorities, they tell people of all colors that they are victims, that those who are wealthy are evil and oppressive, and that they the Democrats are ones who will help them.  They claim that they are the ones who will provide for them, and that they will solve all their problems.  In exchange for these empty promises, all that they require is to be granted power.  Power is the true end goal of the Democratic party.  Power is granted by voting them into office, and then allowing them to implement legislation that oppresses freedom.  And through incrementalism, they are slowly working towards the status of “aristocracy”.

They claim they will provide freedom, but keep people in emotional, social, and financial bondage.
They claim to be open-minded, but oppress and censor those who disagree with them.
They claim they will provide prosperity, but they only steal wealth from those who worked for it.
They claim they provide opportunity, but the cost is everything that you have.
They do all this to dominate others, because they are elitists.  This is their true nature.

If you are a minority and you want to get anywhere in the Democratic party, you must agree to be a puppet and serve their ends.  Such a person that agrees to do this, the party will setup, advantage, prosper, and put in places of power to represent their wishes.   Very few in this party have made it on their own merits without selling out.  Most are token minority people.  Any minority person inside or outside the party who does not comply, is either ousted, opposed, and even ridiculed with racial epitaphs.  So much for the so-called “party of the minority”.

Barak Hussein Obama is the ultimate achievement in this scheme.

Do this think this is harsh?  Do you think this is extreme?  What if it’s true?  Let’s look at the evidence behind these claims.  I challenge you to dig in to history and the references yourself.  I challenge you to examine the moedus operandi of the Democrats and discover their true nature.  Strip away shallow emotion, and decide for yourself based on truth rational thought.

Let’s take a look at a concise record of Democrats and Republicans through the history of the U.S. that was compiled on The Real Democrat Party blog.

The Republicans:
  • Republicans enacted civil rights laws in the 1950’s and 1960’s, over the objection of Democrats.
  • Republicans founded the HBCU’s (Historical Black College’s and Universities) and started the NAACP to counter the racist practices of the Democrats.
  • Republicans pushed through much of the ground-breaking civil rights legislation in Congress.
  • Republicans fought slavery and amended the Constitution to grant blacks freedom, citizenship and the right to vote.
  • Republicans pushed through much of the groundbreaking civil rights legislation from the 1860s through the 1960s.
  • Republican President Dwight Eisenhower sent troops into the South to desegregate the schools.
  • Republican President Eisenhower appointed Chief Justice Earl Warren to the Supreme Court, which resulted in the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision.
  • Republican Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois, not Democrat President Lyndon Johnson, was the one who pushed through the civil rights laws of the 1960’s.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act Roll Call Vote: In the House, only 64 percent of the Democrats (153 yes, 91 no), but 80 percent of the Republicans (136 yes, 35 no), voted for it. In the Senate, while only 68 percent of the Democrats endorsed the bill (46 yes, 21 no), 82 percent of the Republicans voted to enact it (27 yes, 6 no).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.

Update 2008-07-10: Wow, what timing! This was posted just before the news broke about Jesse Jackson’s vulgar comments about Barak Hussein Obama. Talk about one jealous failed democrat puppet attacking another! Would this be considered a black on black offense?

Bush’s failed foreign policy in N. Korea

This morning Fox news aired the live press conference held at the Whitehouse where President Bush announced a sweeping change in the direction of North Korea. Details and credit to Foxnews can be found here: www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,371927,00.html In short, North Korea has agreed to give up their Nuclear Weapons program, turn over all their weapons-grade Plutonium, and allow inspectors full access to all their facilities. The reports also indicate that they will blow one up on live international TV. The President will also be asking congress to life trade sanctions, and ask that North Korea no longer be listed as a hostile State.

This is good for the US. This is good for the people of North Korea, for they have been suffering, starving, and dying under an oppressive regime. While the regime is not immediately changing, their attitude is, and they will be able to receive aid, and engage in trade. Bottom line, the sunlight of freedom will start to shine in for them. It will be important over the next several years to engage North Korea in communication and trade so that they are influenced by the philosophy of freedom. Gradually over time they may become like South Korea, modern, free, and friends.

You may be asking, “how this is a failure?”. Well, it isn’t, it’s a success. The employment of sarcasm in this case is to illustrate the bias and failure of liberals politicians and the media.

First it is notable to mention what was going on in mainstream media when this press conference was airing this morning. One of my colleagues flipped through all the major networks, and not one of them was carrying this incredible news that holds distinct importance to our entire nation and indeed the world. Instead they were covering minor news stories, editorial pieces, and interviews with recreation experts regarding summer fun.

The next thing I would like to point out requires us to go into the ‘way-back’ machine. Four years ago, leftist presidential nominee John Kerry accused President Bush of ‘taking his eye off the ball’ with North Korea, and that they were becoming a bigger threat to the US. Of course Kerry being an insincere power-monger, would also say in the next breath that President Bush was also making too much ado about nothing with North Korea, and that the President was looking for an excuse to go to war. President Bush responded simple and true. He said that diplomacy was already at work, and that it takes time and patience for things to turn around. Today we have seen the Administration’s efforts, time, and patience come to fruition.

Brace yourself for how the liberals and their media pundits will try and down-play this. Keenly observe how they will try and fault-find things about this development. They will. Wait and see. And when they do just know how insincere they really are. Realize why they are like this. They do not care what is good for our country, and they do not care about you, no matter how much they say they do. They want to paint a dismal picture for you, claim they have the answer, and ask you to hand them power, your power to control your own destiny. In a word, they want to take away your freedom, and they will say, do, and mischaracterize anything and any one to achieve their goal. They want your power, to control your freedom, your destiny. The patterns are all there. Observe their behavior. It contradicts what they say. Don’t think so? Just check out the YouTube mock movie trailer below that illustrates how they work.

Also realize that even though a guy like Mr. Bush is not a very dynamic speaker, and is not perfect or always right, he says what he means, means what he says, and in the most sincere effort, gets the job done for the benefit of us all. Today’s development proves this.

Obama unelectable

On red meat

I just heard this one:

“I think it would be great to see a vegetarian get eaten by an animal…”

[on last comic standing]

Contrast and comparison of the cultural propagation of Ancient Rome and America

By proud admission, the Ancient Romans were imperialists. They believed they had the ideal culture, and that it was their destiny to conquer and rule the world under their system. While America has certainly been accused of imperialism, the American way is truly different.

The goal of imperialism is to conquer and control. By contrast, the goal of democracy is to put the power and control of a nation in the hands of the electorate, that is, the people. America promotes the ideal of democracy around the world. America is not trying to conquer or rule the world. It is actually those who favor their own version of imperialism who are the ones who accuse America of it. This is irony on a global scale.

The truth be told, by promoting democracy, America is actually promoting anti-imperialism. Even when we go to war, we do not conquer or take land and resources, we give it back to the people of the country so that they can rule themselves. If America maintains any presence in a country, they pay rent. They do not try to make other countries part of America. That would go against the American ideal of democracy.

It is not the goal of democracy to duplicate culture in another country, but to duplicate the idea of the rule of the people and the rule of law. A country and culture can become a democratic version of itself without becoming American. A country that experiences this experiences justice, fairness, equality, and prosperity because it honors the rights of its people.

The Romans were also eclectic. They were eclectic because they took all the best elements from the cultures that they conquered. America is also eclectic, but for a different reason. America is eclectic because of all the cultures they embrace. America is made up of people groups from all over the world, and America consistently extends it’s good will all over the world, even to those who cannot reward America for its kindness.

Enviro-irony

OK, I just had to add this little rant. I just bought a bag of a product called Oil-Dri(tm) to use in my garage after working on my car. I love the stuff, it’s awesome, and works better than anything of it’s kind. I noticed a faux seal on the bag that tauts “All organic Earth materials” or something to that effect. Now those of you who know what Oil-Dri is, you are already laughing. For an explanation, please read more…..

Oil-Dri(tm) is a product much like unscented kitty litter that soaks up Oil, grease, and other sundry TOXIC chemicals off and out of the pores of your floors. This preserves the surface and allows to dispose of the TOXIC liquids more easily by simply sweeping them up. So, just think about it. You soak up the chemicals into this stuff. What you have is TOXIC, so who gives a flying flip is the stuff was “All natural, organic, or enviornmentally friendly” in the first place when it’s whole purpose on earth is to become contaminated?

Sometimes War is the Answer

I’ve occasionally seen these fruity, 50-something old hippy protestors out on the street corners holding up signs that said “War is not the answer”. I say, sometime it is, because there is oppressive evil that must be fought.

My sister received this from one of our Marines currently in Iraq, it is a story she received that is actually making her think of re-enlisting! It is a story that might make you think. Read on….

The other day, my nine year old son wanted to know why we were at war. My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our Country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation.

My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He said “Son, stand there and tell me what you see?” “I see trees and cars and our neighbor’s houses.” he replied. “OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the United States of America and you are President Bush.”
Our son giggled and said “OK.”
“Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country” my husband said.
“OK Dad, I’m pretending.”
“Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and pretend you see Saddam come out of his house with his wife, he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face,he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are screaming and crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and they are afraid of their father. You see all of this, son…. what do you do?”
“Dad?”
“What do you do son?”
“I’d call the police, Dad.”
“OK. Pretend that the police are the United Nations. They take your call.They listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What do you do then son?”
“Dad………. but the police are supposed to help!”
My son starts to whine.
“They don’t want to son, because they say that it is not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it,” my husband says.
“But Dad…he killed her!!” my son exclaims.
“I know he did…but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you’re pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children.”
“Daddy…he kills them?”
“Yes son, he does. What do you do?”
“Well, if the police don’t want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him.” our son says.
“Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him,” my husband says.
“But Dad, I NEED help!!! I can’t stop him by myself!!”
“WHAT DO YOU DO SON?” Our son starts to cry. “OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?”
“What Daddy?”
“He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then…he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in the window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?”
“Daddy…”
“WHAT DO YOU DO?”
Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, “I’d close the blinds, Daddy.”
My husband looks at our son with tears in his eyes and asks him…”Why?”
“Because Daddy…..the police are supposed to help people who needs them…and they won’t help…. You always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won’t help either…they won’t help me stop him…I’m afraid….I can’t do it by myself Daddy…..I can’t look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and…and…..do nothing…so….I’m just going to close the blinds…. so I can’t see what he’s doing……..and I’m going to pretend that it is not happening.” I start to cry.
My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husband’s questions and he says…”Son”
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Open the blinds because that man…. he’s at your front door…”WHAT DO YOU DO?”
My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without hesitation he says: “I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD!! I’M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD!!! I’M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I’M GONNA FIGHT HIM!!!!!”
I see a tear roll down my husband’s cheek and he grabs our son to his chest and hugs him tight, and says… “It’s too late to fight him, he’s too strong and he’s already at YOUR front door son…..you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife, and his children and the old lady across the way.
You have to do what’s right, even if you have to do it alone, before it’s too late.” my husband whispers. THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq.
When good men stand by and let evil happen son, THAT is the greatest EVIL of all.

Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE must remove evil men from power so that we can continue to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out our window so that my nine year old son won’t grow up in a world where he feels that if he just “closes” that blinds the atrocities in the world won’t affect him.

“YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT!, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO ITALONE!” BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS!! SUPPORT THEM!!! SUPPORT AMERICA SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS…”

This should be printed in every newspaper and posted in every school in America.
Of course that won’t happen so we’ll use the internet.
If your blinds are closed do nothing with this email. If they are open I do not need to tell you what to do.

Worst president in history?

(The following appeared in the Durham, NC local paper as a letter to the editor. Please forward to all on your list as this will put things in perspective:)

Liberals claim President Bush shouldn’t have started this war. They complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S history.

Let’s clear up one point: President Bush didn’t start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists BEFORE 9/11. Let’s look at the “worst” president and mismanagement claims.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea. North Korea never attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of 18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden’s head on a platter three times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple occasions. Over 2,900 lives lost on 9/11.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has liberated two countries, rushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come on!

The Democrats are complaining about how long the war is taking, but…

It took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet Reno to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was a 51 day operation.

We’ve been looking for evidence of chemical weapons in Iraq for less time than it took Hillary Clinton to find the Rose Law Firm billing records.

It took less time for the 3rd Infantry Division and the Marines to destroy the Medina Republican Guard than it took Teddy Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at Chappaquiddick.

It took less time to take Iraq than it took to count the votes in Florida in the 2000 election!!!!

Sheriff Joe Arpaio - Common Sense incarceration

What a guy! You’ve probably heard of him but this is a little more detailed. Sheriff Joe Arpaio (in Arizona) who created the tent city jail, has jail meals down to 40 cents a serving and charges the inmates for them.

He stopped smoking and porno magazines in the jails.

Took away their weights. Cut off all but “G” movies. He started chain gangs so the inmates could do free work on county and city projects.

Then he started chain gangs for women so he wouldn’t get sued for discrimination. He took away cable TV until he found out there was a federal court order that required cable TV for jails. So he hooked up the cable TV again only let in the Disney channel and the weather channel.

When asked why the weather channel he replied, so they will know how hot it’s gonna be while they are working on my chain gangs.

He cut off coffee since it has zero nutritional value. When the inmates complained, he told them, “This isn’t the Ritz/Carlton. If you don’t like it, don’t come back.”

he bought Newt Gingrich’s lecture series on videotape that he pipes into the jails.

When asked by a reporter if he had any lecture series by a Democrat, he replied that a democratic lecture series might explain why a lot of the inmates were in his jails in the first place.

More on the Arizona Sheriff:

With temperatures being even hotter than usual in Phoenix (116 degrees just set a new record), the Associated Press reports:

About 2,000 inmates living in a barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment at the Maricopa County Jail have been given permission to strip down to their government-issued pink boxer shorts.

On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing boxers were either curled up on their bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which reached 138 degrees inside the week before. Many were also swathed in wet, pink towels as sweat collected on their chests and dripped down to their pink socks.

“It feels like we are in a furnace,” said James Zanzot, an inmate who has lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years. “It’s inhumane.”

Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who created the tent cityand long ago started making his prisoners wear pink, and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one bit sympathetic.

He said Wednesday that he told all of the inmates: “It’s 120 degrees in Iraq and our soldiers are living in tents too, and they have to wear full battle gear, but they didn’t commit any crimes, so shut your damned mouths!”

Way to go, Sheriff! Maybe if all prisons were like this one, there would be a lot less crime and/or repeat offenders. Criminals should be punished for their crimes - not live in luxury until it’s time for their parole, only to go out and commit another crime so they can get back in to live on taxpayers’ money and enjoy things taxpayers can’t afford to have for themselves.

The Practical Wisdom of Andy Rooney

I love the keen common sense of this wrinkley old crumudgeon. I don’t always agree with his TV commentary, but he was preachin’ in this particular segment. click on read more Andy Rooney said on “60 Minutes” a few weeks back:

Andy Rooney said on “60 Minutes” a few weeks back:

I don’t think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens… Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right “NOT” to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.

I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!

My father and grandfather didn’t die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can’t understand the word “freeze” or “stop” in English, see the above lines.

I don’t think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.

I don’t hate the rich. I don’t pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television . That doesn’t stop you from watching them.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that’s better, and put your name on the building.

It doesn’t take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say “NO!”

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don’t pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don’t want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!

I am sick of “Political Correctness.” I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be “African-Americans”? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don’t go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.
