One more time on gun control.....

With all the usual suspects, Bill Moyers, the Brady Bunch, Sen Schumacher. Rep McCartney making all the usual and expected breast beating speeches (can I say that in here) about new gun laws after the Aurora mayhem --- I was about to beat on this horse again myself.

But then I plugged the word 'gun' up into that search engine block on the top right of the front page of this blog -- and found that I had written enough.. So I won't repeat myself. I'll just let the experts speak for me..............


"Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not." ~ Thomas Jefferson

Just Like Y'all, I'm plumb tired of negative commercials.....

.... that must be why I find this one so uplifting!!!

God bless the Federal hiring policies....

If I mentioned the name Graham Spanier to y'all..... unless you live in Happy Valley, Pennsylvania, it probably wouldn't mean much. Mr. Spanier is the scandal-marred, ex-president of Penn State university. You know, the guy who resigned from his post in the midst of the sex abuse scandal and arrest of Jerry Sandusky.

Whee Doggies, some folks (including former FBI Director Freeh) even hinted that perhaps Spanier was a part of the cover-up along with Coach Joe..... all for the good of the University of course!

Well shucks, looks like ex-Pres Spanier is gonna be able to afford to have milk on his cornflakes after all. According to his lawyer, Spanier now has a job working for a "top secret" gob'mint agency.

"In the meantime, the government continues to employ Spanier, which means that we are all paying his salary with our tax dollars. It also means that the government is entrusting work related to our national security to Spanier–a man who has proved that he simply isn’t trustworthy.'

Breaking news......

..... this morning that ABC/Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe married Katie Hogan, Obama campaign deputy press secretary in Lake Geneva Wisconsin - Saturday night.

Despite all the other breakdowns in our society, I thought that 'incest', particularly marital incest was still illegal..... ?

Btw, the groom and bride registered for wedding gifts at Bloomingdales and Crate & Barrel. Apparently they opted out of registering with the Obama campaign as a receiver of their wedding gifts...

More here..

A question comes to mind......

I read today the Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr, (D-IL) was admitted to the Mayo Clinic up in Rochester, Minnesota for treatment of 'depression and stomach aches'.

For the one person in the country that doesn't know about the Mayo Clinic let me say:

"The Mayo Clinic is one of the most highly regarded medical facilities in the world. The clinic says that more than a million individuals seek treatment there each year."

The Mayo Clinic is where the rich and the famous go for immediate, front of the line treatment of the very highest caliber. But don't bring your Medicare card.

I wish Jesse Junior a speedy recovery - but like I said in the title of this little piece...

I wonder if the cook in his corner deli, when restricted by law to the constraints of Obamacare...... will be immediately flown to the Mayo Clinic if s/he develops 'depression and stomach problems'?

Nah, I don't really wonder..... do you?

When was the last time you heard chants of 'USA', 'USA' in the House of Representative??

Representative Mike Kelly stands in the well of the House of Representatives and gives a rousing speech against gob'mint bureaucracy and red tape... lots of applause, lots of cheers - but I don't know if he turned any Dim votes around. Watch the five minute video and tell me it doesn't get you pumped!!!!

Riddle: When is a cartoon, not a cartoon?

Answer: When it's not only the truth -- but the 'bane' of America..........

How's that again? The President hasn't met once in the past six months with his "Jobs Council," his professed most critical issue facing America today? But, of course he's attending to more pressing issues, golf trips and fund raisers. That clearly shows where his priorities lie. Did I say "lie?" In retrospect, there is quite a lot of that going around.

PS: Saturday's Washington Post (28/7/2012) reported that as of Friday, he has attended 111 fundraisers, but still no meetings with his "Jobs Council

(Thanx and a tip O' the Stetson to Vet pal, Al in the People's Republic of MD)

Lisa has a couple of messages in the same cartoon this week!

Let me say a word about that......

.... and the word I might use in the context of this election year might be any one of several:

Meme comes to mind --- never heard it before this last year or two - now I see it every day in a dozen places. I still have to look it up on Wiki every now and then because of it's many uses.

Walkback is another popular word. It used to be an intransitive verb having something to do with block and tackles. Now, it's the replace phrase for curing a gaffe, screw up, or other political promise. See also - back pedal.

Optics - are in the picture now. Used to be political candidates searched for photo ops, or PR photos, or candid snapshots. Now however, it's a game of presenting the right Optics..... ?

I reckon this game of 'newspeak' will go on long after Orwell's 1984 is forgotten in the dustbin of time, along with petticoats, belts, fedoras and family rated TV broadcasting.

It's plumb embarassin' sometimes.....

..... when you've been a knee jerk contrarian like I have been all my life -- to find out that I'm with the majority in a survey ....

Gallup polling did a major study on gun control, gun laws and such like... One of the most eye catching results I observed in their results is that:

- 60% of Americans polled feel that current gun laws are adequate and just need enforcing by law enforcement folks.

- 35% think we need to pile on more laws. (Doesn't say whether we should enforce them after we pass them .... or just feel good about passing 'em.)

(Click here for the poll data)

An old joke - a new scenario....

There used to be an old joke about a lion that roared and demanded "Who is king of the jungle?" from every passing animal. One day an elephant ambled by, "Who is the king of the jungle?" the lion demanded ---- the elephant picked the lion up with his trunk and flung him against a tree, once, twice, three times.

As the lion limped away, he looked back over his shoulder and said, "You don't have to get violent just because you don't know the answer!"

So yesterday at the daily press briefing in the White House, Jay Carney, unable to declare whether Tel Aviv or Jerusalem was the recognized capitol of Israel -- tried roaring and laughing at the question when he didn't know the answer.

Who is the most boring 'white guy' on TV?

In this unscripted minute on NBC news, Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney nailed Brian Williams right between the eyes. The blow was so quick and done with a smile so even Williams, that left wing nut of NBC news, couldn't respond. It happens quick so turn up your sound!

Poor Barry O'bamanation......

He has claimed since day one that the prime reason he is an absolute failure as President of the United States is because he inherited all of George W Bush's problems.

Why, when he took the oath on 20 January 2009, unemployment in this country was 7.8% fer crying out loud..... and the amount of national debt that 'W' left? It was $10 trillion bucks!!

How could Obamanation and his cronies be expected to deal with that?

But whatever you do, voters, don't ask yourself what O'bama would do to cure our ills if he were to take the oath again next January 20th, 2013 and find that he was inheriting an unemployment rate of 8.2% and a national debt in excess of $17 trillion dollars.

After all, it ain't his fault, he'll be inheriting it from that Obamanation feller!

Oh Oh, wait a minute - that din't come out right!

Some random thoughts about today's headlines.....

I wonder if Smith & Wesson and other gun manufacturers keep Chuck-You Schumer, Mayor Bloombie, that one trick pony Representative from Long Island, McCarthy, and the whole Washington Brady Bunch on their Christmas card list?

Every time one of our 300 Million citizens goes berserk and shoots someone, these usual suspects start shouting 'Ban Guns', 'Ban Guns'!!,,, and every time - just as predictable as the sun coming up -- retail gun sales sky rocket.

This week, after the Battyman shooting, these political drip pans toed their marks in front of the mikes on queue to shout their usual drivel .... and now it is reported in the NY Post that:

- gun sales in Colorado jumped 25 in one week, concealed carry class registrations are 'off the hook'.

- in uber liberal Seattle WA, license requests doubled to a 100% increase over the same period last year.

- and it continues, Florida up 14%, Oregon up 11% and in gun totin' Smyrna GA., one gun store increased it's volume by 300%!

Why, you ask? The owner said..... "customers are often afraid when there's a gun-related tragedy that some lawmakers might try and push through an anti-gun agenda." And then he added, ""We shouldn't let one sick individual make us forget and lose sight of freedoms in this country,"

On an unrelated topic, another headline I read stated that, "80% of all pain killers taken daily in the world are swallowed by Americans" or something like that. I was quite surprised until I thought about it.... hey, it's only us 300 million Americans that share that common pain in the arse in Washington!!

Jon Stewart 'impales' Brian Ross & ABC News for (non) news story (see cartoon below)

We all know that 'jumping to conclusions is not only virulent in MSM news, but a way of life.... Brian Ross's identification of the Aurora shooter is just one example of many!

21st Century Media -- 'Guilty by Implication'

Brian Ross and George Snuffleopolis -- what journalism has become.....

Oh the shame - the shame!

BTW, they get paid million$ and belong to the 1%'ers group -- along with the rest of the newsreaders - but you'll never hear them admit it!

Ya' gotta ask yerself, "Self, is there ANYTHING the Fed have done lately that is good for us our our nation?

Latest case in point --- Federal regulations banning all incandescent bulbs which have bee proven harmless to the human skin.

The same Federal regulations demand use of CFL bulbs (them squirrelly, too bright bulbs from our good friends in China) for home and office lighting.

It turns out that an American study - conducted by Stony Brook University and published in the June issue of Photochemistry and Photobiology -- has PROVEN these CFL bulbs to be harmful to the human skin..

Harmful being the euphemism for dangerous in this instance!

Read the article for yourself..... Don't believe ole' Pecoz. Wonder if the head of the EPA or our Dear Leader hisself will come on the evening news and ask for a mulligan?

Naw - I didn't think so either .... enjoy those new bulbs. I bought a truckload of the incandescents before they disappeared from the shelves.

Here is a 'Thought for the Day'

From the writings of Ayn Rand:

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. When there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."

Best political ad of the year.......... so far!

I don't live in Massachusetts, fortunately, but Senator Scott Brown's people put together a 60 second commercial that just knocked my hat in the creek! Bad mouthing no-one, he simply played the words of the moderate Democrats of the past along side the socialist froth mouthings of today's most dangerous liberal Democrats.... oh yeah, he also throws in a little Ronald Reagan, 'cause even the Blue folks of Massachusetts aren't in total denial to the truth.

It comes in twos........

Two decades ago, in the Nineties, Ernie Els and his Big Easy swing won two US Open Golf Tournaments.

Ten years and one day ago, he won the British Open at Muirfield.

Two months ago, he couldn't even get an invite to Augusta for the Master's Tourney.

Two hours ago - he outlasted the field and won the British Open for a second time. This trip around Royal St Lytham

Not many players have won major golf tourneys in three different decades. He's on a short list --- and can probably expect a letter from the Chairman of Augusta National next spring.... ya think?

Well done Ernie -- one for the older guys!

About that VEEP choice Romney will make....

... I don't know about y'all, but I am already a little tired of the conversation, the guesses, the what-ifs. I'd like to see a running mate selected and announced, let the Dims do their screaming, shouting and usual hysterics.

But I did come across one attention getting article this morning in 'American Thinker', written by Herbert Meyer. The headline title is;

'Romney Picks Petraeus for Veep!'

Thought provoking isn't it? Click on the headline to read his very short, but very interesting piece.

I particularly like the part pointing out that this choice would totally collapse the sails of Obamanation's fleet of character assassination pirates.... who are already loading their muzzles with chain shot and trash. Maybe we could even discuss the issues for the next three months.... ?

I apologise, this is a little longer than most of my posts, I posted it in another venue and got several e-mails suggesting I post it here. Pecozbill

Grandpa’s Stories

A Grimm Fairy Tale

In their crowded house in Suburbia City, Texas, that early spring morning in 2026, Grandpa Bob Fellows removed his small coffee brewing metal cup off the top of his campers sterno burner and sat down at the kitchen table to drink it in the pre-dawn light. It was still dark in the house but some light filtered through the windows from the lightening sky. Seventy-five years old, he was old enough to remember the old days, but young enough to cope with the country the way it was.

His nine year old great granddaughter, Bessie, came quietly into the kitchen and sat down on the chair facing him. She placed her elbows on the table, her chin in her hands and whispered, “Good Morning, Grandpa!”

“Shusss,” Bob admonished her, “you’ll wake your cousins and the whole house up. You know the electricity does not come on for another hour, so there is no need to wake up everybody.” The electricity would be turned on by the government run electric company from 0700 to 0900 to allow folks to cook and wash before it went off until 1600 hours. For as long as she could remember, there was no electricity during the night or during the middle daylight hours; only in the evenings from Four PM until Ten O’Clock, and between seven and nine in the morning. The Leader regularly pointed out how much energy this practice saved and how much it reduced the carbon footprint of the country.

“Tell me again, what it was like when you were my age,” the precocious young Bessie pleaded.

“Now, you’ve heard those stories a hundred times young lady. We lived where we wanted, in different houses and apartments, not all 14 of your aunts, uncles, cousins and Grandma and I in the same house. That was when we all had different jobs, drove our own cars to work and could shop wherever we chose instead of using these Government Cards at the Government chain stores. They say it saves resources.”

“Okay then, Grandpa, tell me how it changed, or maybe why or when? I’m hungry but can’t nuke my oatmeal until the power gets turned on.”

“Sweetheart, it’s a long story, but I’ll make it as brief as possible.

It all started in 1981 when a smart likable feller named Ronald Reagan became president of what was then called the United States of America. He was full of charm, optimism, and truly believed that all Americans were blessed. He came into office at a time of recession and was determined to make life better for all of us. A firm believer in that adage ‘A rising tide raises all boats’, he developed what folks mocked as the ‘trickle down theory’, figuring that if the builders, and manufacturers did well and grew and prospered, so to – would all of the folks that worked for them.

Oh, those were great years Bessie. The country prospered, we were strong and respected around the world, the only shooting wars were little piss-pot dictators that were rapidly shut down. Even our greatest moral enemy for the previous forty years, Russia, changed its ways and all of its world domination dreams were wiped away without a shot being fired.

Unfortunately, there existed a small dedicated cabal of sinister people in a place called Chicagoland, USA who were totally unhappy for many reasons. The rich were getting richer, the middle class was living better, even the blue collar workers were prospering. But these folks in Chicagoland saw gold in the thousands and thousands of those who didn’t work or contribute to the economy. They were poor, uneducated, and best of all, unhappy with their lot in life.

These Chicago folks also suffered from that sixth deadly sin – Envy. You heard of the Seven Deadly sins at your Sunday morning non-religious meetings over in Peterson’s garage, didn’t you?”

“Oh yes Grandpa, wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony. Our non-religious teacher even shakes her finger when she discusses them, so I guess they’re pretty bad.”

“Anyway, these Chicagoland fellers really hated it that all of the power and money in this country was concentrated on the East coast in New York City and Washington DC and on the West coast in San Francisco and Simi Valley. So they decided, among other long term changes, to create Chicagoland as the center of power in the country, after all – it is in the center of the country.

These fellers, organizers, convicted domestic terrorists, billionaires, and professors, designed their long term plans way back after Reagan left office. They started adding little bits and pieces to much larger legislative bills in the congress that gave more and more power to the office then known as President, not Leader, like today. Anyway, the President’s powers grew with each year and then in 1994, they got the then president, a country boy from Arkansas, to sign an Executive Order, ‘National Defense Industrial Resources Preparedness Bill’. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

Anyway this order gave the president the power to take control of all energy supplies in the entire nation in case of national emergency. Problem was – nobody defined was a ‘national emergency’ was.

I’m going on too long here and the sun is almost coming up, so let me fast forward a few years.

This Chicagoland group found themselves a well spoken half white-half black man who could read a teleprompter like a concert violinist can play a fiddle. They greased him into state office, and then with some legal chicanery got him a seat in the US Senate…”

“What’s a senate, Grandpa?”

“Quiet girl, one topic at a time, I’ll tell you about the Senate and the House of Representatives we used to have another day. Anyway, after a couple of brilliantly read speeches, the citizens of this country voted him straight into the White House, without even knowing him. But he did read those speeches they wrote for him well!”

Well now, after a couple years in office, it began to look like their man might not get re-elected, so they quietly prepared Executive Order 12919, which added to and increased the powers of the President including in ‘peace time’. Again, he just had to declare a national emergency.

Cutting to the chase, in 2012, the perfect storm hit. He won the popular vote by just a few votes – but lost the electoral vote by just a few votes. Making a whole lot of folks unhappy in both national parties. At the same time the House and the Senate couldn’t agree on a budget, sequestration set in, and then bang – the whole government shut down for lack of money.

The SEIU, and other trade unions all went on strike and formed picket lines and such like. The elderly, the unemployed, the folks on welfare, all missed their monthly checks and took to the streets setting cars on fire, buildings and stores were robbed and burned, shootings occurred. Anarchy was the name of the game.

Police, firefighters, hospital technicians were all out on strike for lack of pay, as well as all other public sector union members in offices and important positions across the land.

So the feller who was still president, the Chicagoland frontman, was told to exercise Executive Order 12919 and he did. Took all control of all communications, broadcast networks, power companies, took over Google, Yahoo, Firefox and all internet servers; he called out the national guards across the country to establish order.”

“Didn’t anyone object, Grandpa?”

“Oh yes, darling, first the Supreme court – I’ll tell you what they were on another morning – had an emergency session and declared his actions as unconstitutional. He had all electricity, power, heat, light and communications cut off to their building. Their security police were withdrawn and reassigned. The same thing happened to the Congress when they started speechifying and raising heck. He cut off their power, water, utilities, communications, drafted all the capitol police into a local national guard unit and left the congress impotent.

Power grids were shut down across the nation, no phones, no communications of any kind. After a couple of weeks that we now refer to as the New Years Terror of 2013, the power came on across the land on January 15th, our TV’s came on and the President, the feller we now simply call ‘The Leader’ addressed the nation.

‘Because of all that had occurred, he had declared the nation in a state of emergency and he would remain in office until such time as he removed the declaration. There would be no inauguration on January 20th, and he would guide us through these troubles. The Constitution and Bill of Rights will be suspended until he safely saw us through that troubled time.’

That was 13 years ago, this month Bessie. And that’s why we are directed to live in extended family groups like we do, why there are no privately owned cars or vehicles. Why all of the power, communication, and major manufacturing companies belong to the government. It was for our protection from each other that all household weapons, both handguns and long guns, were removed.

You notice that in this entire event, The Leader didn’t order a single police or military man to shoot a single citizen. The group he worked for knew that we would cause each other enough harm that we would welcome governmental protection of any kind when it came.

And, Bessie, it’s why I can only tell you this story in the dark at our kitchen table, because to speak these words in public would be declared ‘Hate’ speech and I could go to jail.”

About then, the back door to the kitchen burst in and four soldiers in black uniforms, with automatic rifles and face masks charged in. “You are under arrest Mr. Fellows, for ‘Hate’ speech and spreading false rumors about ‘The Leader’. You did good, young lady, now give me that radio microphone you are clasping in your hands under your chin.

Corporal Smith, escort this young lady out to the van. After listening to this story she will need to spend a month in one of our children's 'Think' camps before she is returned to her family.

Sergeant Jones, radio the SWAT team out front to go over and arrest the Peterson’s for conducting religious activities in their garage.”

Cut to black……

The Prophet speaks...........

Having spent the week chastising the bid'ness owners, the entrepreneurs. Yeah verily, even the workers and the soldiers and the sailors... on the eighth day, he went to the Source....

About Michelle Bachmann's comments...

... now folks, don't get me wrong, I ain't got no dog in this fight. No skin in this game. But I do have a couple of questions.

Back in my Air Force career, I was investigated and held a top secret clearance for twenty years. I was regularly re-investigated. When I married, my wife was investigated before I was allowed to keep my clearance.

Having said that, I understand that Michelle Bachmann's greatest sin was to send a letter (not a public microphone as Chuck-you Schumer or Bite-me Biden would do) to the an inspector general questioning the wisdom of retaining Huma Abedin on the payroll as the closest confidante of the Secretary of State of the United States.

Nothing more.

I had good and patriotic friends lose their security clearances because of whom they married, the actions of their friends or relatives, even their sexual preferences.

And here we have a young lady, of whatever qualifications, whose late father, mother, and brother are all apparently closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization of avowed haters of this country, yet who continues to carry the highest security clearance in the land and be privy to it's greatest international plans and secrets. As my grand kid would say, 'Whassup with that?'

Ms Abedin may be a marvelous, patriotic, flag waving citizen - but the question remains.... with 300 million Americans to choose from to fill her highly paid position, why risk it. Why keep her in a job where pressure, family sourced or otherwise - could be brought to bear. It would be doing her a favor as well. That same grand kid would call it a 'No-brainer!!'

Please don't tell me that she is the only capable American. Please don't tell me that it's Secretary Clinton's prerogative and personal choice.

Finally, I can only imagine the glee on the Dim Congressional election committee's chubby little faces as they see the opportunity to use this letter to snatch Bachmann's seat in Congress away from the GOP and turn it Blue.

And apparently with the help of a lot of thumb sucking, head bowing, spaghetti back-boned RINO's helping them.

The liberal blogs and news outlets have their Christmas gifts delivered in July !!!

Hard to beat the editorial cartoonists.......

There has been a thousand articles and a million words written in the last week regarding Obamanation's insane (inane?) flat out statement that any successful business owes it's success to the gob'mint... or him, or something like that.....

I thought instead of adding my voice to the throng - I'd just pick out the two editorial cartoons that speak to it with the greatest irony and in the shortest way - you choose which you prefer!













These are just two of the 'top ten memes' on this stupid remark -- as posted on The Daily Caller. Click on the link to see these and the other eight and you decide which says it best!!!

Like the sharpest 'shell game' artist on the sidewalk, he'll do anything to keep your eyes distracted........

Like Kitty Kalen used to sing, "Little Things Mean A Lot!"

Apparently Michelle Antoinette is the star attraction at a Obamanation fundraiser at Massachusetts Gob'nor Deval Patricks personal mansion on August 3rd.

To avoid Madam Michelle from suffering the indignation of any bumps on her way into the $20,000 per seat fundraiser - the gob'nor has asked the local town to 'bring in a few tons of blacktop and smooth the road to his his 'Sweet P Farm' !!

Ain't that special--?

Sure hope none of those dreaded rich "One Percenters" are buying those $20,000 seats. Hope they are all being bought by them poor Occupyin' folks......

I wonder if there is a full time White House staffer to check each evening to make sure that there is no unwelcome 'pea' under Ms Michelle's mattress..... can't be too careful!

We are becoming an "Upside down land"....

In a recent column on the very well done 'Flopping Aces' blog, CJ suggests that we live in an Upside Down Land and offers a short list of reasons supporting his position.

It's one of those lists that cause you to think of your own 'Upside Down Land' examples. After you've read these, click on the link above, and go to comments, and there are some brilliant ones. I'll quote one or two of the best after you read CJ's comments.

You know you live in upside-down land if:

* You can get arrested for expired tags on your car, but not for being in this country illegally.

* Your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more it doesn’t have.

* The Supreme Court of the United States can rule that lower courts cannot display the 10 Commandments in their courtroom while sitting in front of a display of the 10 Commandments.

* Children are forcibly removed from parents who appropriately discipline them while children of “underprivileged” drug addicts are left to rot in filth infested cesspools.

* Working class Americans pay for their own health care (and the health are of everyone else) while unmarried women are free to have child after child on the “State’s” dime while never being held responsible for their own choices.

* Hard work and success are rewarded with higher taxes and government intrusion, while slothful, lazy behavior is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, and subsidized housing.

* The government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide 99 weeks of unemployed checks (to not work).

* Politicians think that stripping away the amendments to the Constitution is really protecting the rights of the people.

* The rights of the government come before the rights of the individual.

* Parents believe the State is responsible for providing for their children.

* You pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor defaults on his mortgage (while buying iPhones, flat-screen TVs, and new cars) and the government forgives his debt and reduces his mortgage (with your tax dollars).

* Being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you “safe.”

* You have to have your parents signature to go on a school field trip but not to get an abortion.

* An 80-year old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a Muslim woman in a burqa is only subject to having her neck and head searched.

* The government sends its troops to war, but won’t let them return fire on the enemy out of courtesy to the surrounding civilians being used as shields.

Some of the better comments include:

-Burning the U.S. Flag is acceptable because it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t mean anything…
-Displaying a Confederate flag is unacceptable because it’s a symbol of hatred….

and:

-Smoking and drinking while pregnant is bad and you will be shamed for it, however, if that baby annoys you, please feel free to have it killed

-LE has the right to ask for ID, that is unless you look Hispanic, then it’s profiling

-Single cell found in space, LIFE!……Multiple cells in the form of a human being in a woman's womb, just a blob of tissue and you can kill it if it annoys you

-Islamist kills dozens overseas…..terrorist……Islamist kills dozens in the U.S…..workplace violence

How about it, leave your favorite here in the comments section!

Just when I think the Dims can't get any dimmer.....

... they prove me wrong again. In a concentrated effort, they are now trying to re-name Bank of America Stadium, in Charlotte NC, where Obamanation will receive his party's crown and scepter at their convention in September ..... yeah, that personification of corporate support and advertising, Bank of America Stadium --- they are now identifying it only as "Panthers Stadium"!!

Just how stupid, unaware and ignorant do they think the American people are? In the blink of an eye, in a lame attempt to avoid the dreaded 'corporate sponsorship' label for their convention - they are calling a rose - a tree! And expect the public to buy into it.

Click on this picture to the left- - the next time you see it, it may have bunting over that ginormous Bank of America Stadium Sign towering atop the front door.... thus, in their minds, it ain't there!!

I am reminded of one of the best quotes I have seen lately -- from a reader of this article in Politico, named Mitchell;

"Arguing with liberals is like playing chess with a pigeon; no matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock out the pieces, crap on the board, and strut around like it is victorious."

BTW, I wonder if they shipped down those foam rubber Greek Columns from the Denver convention. They turned out to be as lightweight and false as the administration........

How is your Blood Pressure today? Well, sit down for a minute, that will change....

Have you noticed the increase in fees and charges on your telephones, both landline and cell phones? Struggling to be able to afford a new state of the art cell phone while also paying the monthly rising costs....

These folks aren't!!!!!!!!!!!




Now, don't you feel just swell about your Federal Gob'mint?

Dems threaten recession if GOP won't raise taxes?

We are seeing a new level of the depth to which the Dim's will sink in order to raise taxes in this country.... They apparently are perfectly willing to throw the country under the bus -- over the cliff (you choose) if that's what it takes to get the GOP to agree to raise taxes.

Democrats must feel really good about their election chances, because their latest campaign strategy is to say how willing and eager they are to leap off the January tax cliff. They're all but daring Republicans to make the Democrats' day by refusing to raise taxes before the election.

That was the chest-pounding message Monday from Patty Murray, the Washington Democrat who runs her party's Senate campaign committee. In a speech at the Brookings Institution, she declared that if Republicans won't raise taxes on income above $250,000 before November, Democrats will gladly let all of the Bush tax rates expire at the end of the year—even on the middle class, and no matter the economic consequences.

Maybe they think another Republican will take them at their word like President Bush #41 did when he compromised with the Dammorats after promising "No New Taxes". Which of course, the Dam Dims turned into a war chant to help Bubba run George H W out of office...

C'mon guys, vote to raise taxes, nobody will mind --- Lisa Benson hits it well in her cartoon.

I'm not normally a scaredy cat....

I've served 21 years in uniform, I've walked down dark streets, and across empty parking lots. Even got married once.

But for some reason, deep in my heart, this headline today scares me to death:

Jul 16, 2:39 PM EDT

Govt to supervise credit reporting for first time

NEW YORK (AP) -- The companies that determine Americans' credit scores are about to come under government oversight for the first time.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Monday that it will start supervising the 30 largest firms that make up 94 percent of the industry. That includes the three big credit reporting firms: Equifax Inc., Experian and TransUnion.

In remarks prepared for a speech Monday, Richard Cordray, the government agency's director, said that score keeping by credit bureaus plays such a large role in Americans' financial lives, it requires scrutiny.

How many ways can the Feds figure to get into mischief with this kind of power? Seems to me like the system has been working pretty well over the years, changed the things that need changing and is providing a service.

I reckon I'm thinking about Franks and Dodd totally screwing up FannieMae and Freddie Mac, of Obamanation screwing the Gob'ment Motors stockholders and shipping the Cadillac jobs to China....

Maybe they'll develop affirmative action credit scores, add two hundred points for each of your minority status's. Hell, a young Obama, if he'd cut off one leg and declare hisself a tranny - could probably score 1200 points to buy a house and wouldn't need rescue from Resco... er somethin'......

Maybe I'm just getting nervous in my old age.... you reckon?

Go here for the rest of the story!

Pssst! Hey Buddy, got five minutes????

Came across a jewel of a political essay today in The Weekly Standard, by Matthew Continetti. The name of it is 'Life of Henry"

I'm not going to spoil it and tell you what he says, but it's well worth the five minutes it takes to read -- and one that you might want to post to some open-minded friends.

Like a that old TV ad for a good cup of coffee.... it's good to the last line - and that line is good too!!

"The Life of Henry" (High Earners, Not Rich Yet")

Just when I was adjusting to Mitt Romney as --- -- ---

--- well, as --- ah -- er -- um --- the 'Anti-Obamanation' ! That is to say, he ain't no Ronald Reagan - but he ain't no Dim Socialist Community Organizer either.

Anyway, just as I am beginning to accept the fact that he was the best the RNC (and their insiders) could come up with this year --- I look at my calendar!

It's July 16th!! So what you ask? Folks, the Republican Convention kicks off in Tampa in just six short weeks. Plans are being finalized - they've probably already started cooking the food and sticking in the fridge. Balloons are being blown up - red, white and blue tinsel is being chopped up.

What's missing from this picture?

Neither Mitt(ens) Romney, nor his people, nor the RNC has extended an invitation to Governor Sarah Palin to keynote this convention and wake those silver hair old members of the RNC up and get 'em fired up!

Millions of Tea Partiers are gonna nod and go back to sleep. Millions of youngsters are gonna mistake the Republican Convention for a rerun of an old Lawrence Welk show and flip the channel thinking they tuned to PBS by accident.

What in God's name are Romney and his people thinking? Sarah Palin and the conservatives might not need Mitt Romney -- but he sure as hell needs her and them.

Here's something you won't believe - as of today -- he has not even invited her to ATTEND the convention, much less asked her to speak.

I've heard of many forms of suicide, but political suicide by not reaching out to the brightest star in the Republican sky wouldn't seem to be a characteristic of a successful businessman and POTUS wannabe, does it?

If you know somebody connected to the RNC with an IQ over 60, give 'em a call....

Happy COGD, Fellow Taxpayers....

Yessirree Bob!! July 15th, the 197th day of this year of our Lord, 2012 - is officially recognized as Cost of Government Day (COGD) and the American taxpayers have finally finished working for the gob'mints at all levels and started working for themselves.

From 1977 till 2008, Cost of Government Day always fell in June. But with Obamanation and his cronies doing their 'shovel ready jobs of shoveling money' into the abyss of national socialism... we are now in the July COGD period.

Come November 6th, if voters don't wake up, we may introduce the 'August COGD' era... wouldn't that be a damned shame -- but well deserved if the voters do it!!

Ramirez sure nails this weeks political activity!!!!!

Apparently, and with good reason, Obamanation and his cronies want to talk about anything BUT the economy, jobs, inflation, the State of the Union. "Just watch the shiny bauble folks, don't worry about anything else." "Move along, nothing happening here!"

Rumor has it that Michelle Antoinette already has White House minions designing a statue for the 'One'!

Her efforts haven't gone unnoticed by the Washington Crowds...











(Thanx & a tip o' the Stetson to vet friend, Al, up in the People's Republic of Maryland)

Here is a 'pop quiz' for you daily readers....

- How many of you remember when our Democratic Republic had three co-equal branches of government? Hands up now....

- How many of you remember reading in the Constitution of these United States that an international treaty was not ratified until two-thirds (super majority) of the US Senate voted in favor of such ratification. Again, hands up....

Well, apparently the EPA juggernaut bureaucracy doesn't remember either of the answers to these questions. They have apparently, arbitrarily and without treaty ratification imposed a new low sulfur content on fuel for cruise ships and tankers trading in Alaska - one of our sovereign states, last I heard.

Alaska is suing the EPA, Homeland Security, and the Secretary of State... and for good cause. Apparently the increased cost of this fuel, will cost shippers and cruise lines thousands of jobs. The fuel price in modestly projected at 8%!! Hey, don't blow off, 8% Pilgrim. That last $50 dollar fill-up could become $54 next time....

Go here for the rest of the story, then either protest to someone or bend over and grab your ankles one more time -- oh, excuse me - not one more time -- one of many more times!!

Joltin' Joe (Bite-me) Biden becomes the BO's shadow puppet.....

After giving a that white dude, Mitt Romney, a pretty polite reception (considering) earlier in the week, the NAACP were shown the respect that Obamanation feels for them by him becoming a no-show -- and adding insult to injury -- by sending his Washington version of Don Rickels (absent talent, humor) the boy who claims to be from Scranton every four years.... Joltin' Joe!

After insulting Romney, and all things white (Joe doesn't own a mirror?) he broke into his little stand up routine in front of an almost empty hall. Well, the good news is that for a change, he didn't ask the crippled to stand an applaud the healthy like rallies past.

The mighty BO, who had nothing on his official agenda for the day, was just too busy to attend, but sent a short teleprompter fed video in which he admitted to standing on the shoulders of his brothas and sistas. Isn't that what pigeons do to statues before they feel the 'move' coming.

Paraphrasing Churchill, "Never have so many been so used by so few and not complained or expected anything better." The black community is to the Dimmocrats party what Charlie Brown was to Lucie.... every fall, after promising support - she'd yank the football away at the last minute --- and then promise "Next time I will really hold it for you!"

Poor ole' Charlie Brown never got it.... and neither apparently, do the so called leaders of the NAACP !!!

There are indeed, leaks in the White House, and Ramirez points them out well!!!!

As one commenter aptly pointed out, the only think missing from the picture is Obamanation standing on that porch 'leaking' on all the Nation's taxpayers!!

Sain'ts become 'Aints' by choice and by folly.

This is not the biggest story of the week, so you might have missed it. And you wouldn't have missed much, except the sorry state of affairs that this country is slip sliding and wallowing down in to.

Apparently the minor league (and minor brained) baseball team called the St. Paul Saints, up in the Twin Cities, will become the "Mr Paul Aints" in honor of the local atheists, agnostics and kooks.

"To enhance the evening even more, every mention of the word 'Saints' will either be covered up or changed to 'Aint'" the atheists said.

Now ain't that special????????

Don't get me wrong, I don't wear my religion on my sleeve, matter of fact, at best I could only be described as a back-sliding Methodist who has not been inside a church in twelve years. But that's not the point. I live my beliefs as I see them and keep them to myself, I don't force them on others like this 'Mr. Paul, Minnesota' group are doing.

Tsk Tsk...

Question: Is Sarah Palin our 21st Century Reagan?

Lloyd Marcus (pictured left) asks that question in a great column in AmericanThinker.com blog today. Keep in mind, he is speaking of Reagan the unabashed American Cheerleader, not the POTUS....

Rather than cutting and pasting parts of it here and adding my two cents worth - I'm just gonna link y'all to it.
(besides, American Thinker gets plumb upset if you cut and paste any of their stuff - know what I mean?)

Marcus has 'lived the life' and knows of what he speaks. He calls himself an 'Unhyphenated American'! Wouldn't it be great if the hundred million Americans that insist on their hyphenated status could do the same -- and become Americans.....
