YouTube – Raw Video: 911 Records Homeowner Shooting, Killing Intruder

Why you should train your family to know how to shoot. And then listen to the end when the poor woman is finally forced to kill this fool graveyard dead…

Sarah Palin’s Entire Gridiron Speech…Where She Declares “I’m Going To Iowa”!

heh…She will crush Obama if he makes it to the 2012 election.

Good evening. It’s great to be in Washington and I am loving the weather.

I braved the elements and went out for a jog! Or, as Newsweek calls it, a cover-shoot.

It’s a privilege to be here tonight at the Washington DC Barnes & Noble. Tonight, I’ll be reading excerpts from my new book. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? “Going Rogue”

Yukon wasn’t sure if I’d go with that title and somebody suggested I follow the East Coast selfhelp trend and go with, “How To Look Like A Million Bucks…For Only 150 Grand.”

Todd liked, “The Audacity of North Slope.” Hey, I considered not having a title at all.

I’ve said it before, but you Beltway types just don’t seem to get it. You don’t need a title to make an impact. But anyway, let’s get started. I’ll begin my first reading on Page 209.

It was pitch black when we touched down in Arizona late on August 27, 2008. The next morning we drove to John McCain’s ranch in Sedona. John was waiting on the porch. Before he can say a word, I tell him, I’m quoting now:
I know why I’m here, and I’m ready. But, I’m worried. The cost of credit protection for the largest U.S. banks is rising precipitously. Have you given any thought to the run on the entities in the parallel banking system? Do you realize the vulnerability created when these institutions borrow short term in liquid markets to invest long term in illiquid assets?

John said, “You betcha!” I thought, “You betcha?” Who talks that way?

Well, sometimes you just have to trust your instincts. When you don’t, you end up in places like this.

Who would have guessed that I’d be palling around with this group? At least now I can put a face to all the newspapers I read.

It is good to be here and in front of this audience of leading journalists and intellectuals. Or, as I call it, a death panel.

To be honest, I had some serious reservations about coming to visit your cozy little club. The Gridiron still hasn’t offered membership to anyone from my hometown paper in Wasilla, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley Frontiersman.

And my dad thought it was just a plain bad idea to leave the book tour for some football game. He might have a point!

I’ve been touring this great, great land of ours over the last few weeks. I have to say, the view is much better from inside the bus, than under it!
But really, I am thrilled to be with you. And I’d like to thank the Gridiron for the invitation and Dick Cooper for his introduction.

To paraphrase John F. Kennedy, this has to be the most extraordinary collection of people who have gathered to viciously attack me since the last corporate gathering at CBS.

Despite what you have read, or more likely, despite what you have written, I do feel a real bond with all of you. I studied journalism, earned a communications degree and for a time only wanted to be a journalist. I was even a television sportscaster back home.

I’m guessing some of you probably got your start the exact same way… once there was television.Let me get back to the book. I know that many of you are still upset because I wouldn’t play that silly Washington game. You know, the one where all of you read a book in its entirety, from the first page of the index to the last.But think about it, because you actually had to read the whole book in the vein hope of finding your name, you now know all about Denali, mom, dad, ungulate eyeballs, slaying salmon on the Nushagak and Ugashik near Alegnigak, where we make AGOOTAK and moose chili! You’re welcome.

Still, I want to do something very special for this audience of Washington elite. So, I’ll read from the index–which I chose not to include in the hardback. Would you believe me if I said I didn’t include it because we wanted to save trees?

Under A we have…
Alaska, media not understanding. Pages 1-432.
Under B…
Biased media. Pages 1-432
And under C…
Conservative media. See acknowledgments.
I’ll stop there.

I know this can be a long night, and as I understand it, we’re going to break with a Gridiron tradition. Normally, the Democrat speaker would deliver a speech after me. But instead, John McCain’s campaign staff asked if they could use that time for a rebuttal. A lot has been made of a few campaign relationships. The closeness. The warm fuzzy feelings. John and I both agree all those staffers should just move past it. It’s history.

Let’s just say, if I ever need a bald campaign manager, it appears all I’m left with is James Carville.

I don’t want to say that I’ve burned a bridge, but I know all about cancelling a bridge to nowhere. That Democrat speaker I referred to is, of course, the one-and-only Barney Frank.And I’m the controversial one?

Barney, the nation owes you and the government a debt. A huge, historic, unbelievable debt. But, it’s good to be here with you, Mr. Chairman.
Because by Chairman, I don’t just mean the House Financial Services Committee. As far as I can tell, Barney’s also the Chair of AIG, CITI, and the Bank of America.

I don’t want to say that the U.S. Government is taking over the role of the private sector, but I have to admit, on the flight here, thumbing through a magazine and looking at a photo of President Obama with the President of China, the person next to me pointed at it and said, “Hu’s a communist.”

I thought they were asking a question.

Still, when I see this administration in action, I can’t help think of what might have been. I could be the Vice President overseeing the signing of bailout checks. And Joe Biden would be on the road, selling his new book, "Going Rogaine."
Speaking of books…. Did I mention mine? “Going Rogue”
Makes a great stocking stuffer. Available now at a bookstore near you.

Hey, I have to pay for my campaign vetting bill somehow. Really, the response has been great. So I’ll close by reading a final passage. Page 403:
I’ve been asked a lot lately, “Where are you going next?’ Good question!

Wherever I go I know that, as with anyone in the public eye, I’ll continue to have my share of disagreements with those in the media. Maybe even more than my share. It will come as no surprise that I don’t think I was always treated fairly, or equally. But despite that, I respect the media very much. It’s important. A free press allows for vigorous debate! And that debate is absolutely vital for our democracy. So as hard as it can sometimes be, we must all look past personal grievances. We must move beyond petty politics. And we must allow these incredibly talented and hard-working women and men to ask the hard questions and hold us, and our government, accountable.Because their mission is as true as the sun rising over the Talkeetna and Susitna Mountains.

OK – so none of that is actually in the book. Not a word. But I do believe it!
And I believe we live in a beautiful country blessed with so many different people who want the best for their children, families and for our great nation. I’m so proud to be an American.

And that is what I’ll be talking about when I travel to, really where I’m headed. No better place than here to announce where I’m going.

I’m going to Iowa!

I’ll be there tomorrow from noon to 3:00 pm at the Barnes & Noble on Sergeant Road in Sioux City. Come early. Long lines are expected.
Thank you everyone. God Bless the U.S.A!   Sarah Palin speech: The view’s better from inside the bus than under it (Updated with text) | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

Ahmadinejad Reportedly Claims U.S. is Blocking Return of Mankind’s Savior

So I am guessing that these sorts of statements means he is rational actor and we can count on him playing nicely with his new nuclear weapons.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claims the United States is attempting to thwart the return of mankind’s savior, according to reports from Al Arabiya, a television news station based in Dubai.

Ahmadinejad reportedly claims he has documented evidence that the U.S. is blocking the return of Mahdi, the Imam believed by Muslims to be the savior.

“We have documented proof that they believe that a descendant of the prophet of Islam will raise in these parts and he will dry the roots of all injustice in the world,” Ahmadinejad said during a speech on Monday, according to Al Arabiya.

"They have devised all these plans to prevent the coming of the Hidden Imam because they know that the Iranian nation is the one that will prepare the grounds for his coming and will be the supporters of his rule," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying.

Testing… testing… Islamic Dry Runs? Say It Ain’t So…Isn’t Everything Forgiven Since We Have Obama?

More fun testing of the system or a real try? Anne Jacobson wrote about this same sort of thing years ago and it was all put down to a nervous woman.

This is the account of a ex-Navy diver whose very existence has depended on not becoming nervous. I wonder what the apologists for this sort of event will claim now? Sounds like it is a good time to keep your guard up as these cowardly shits seem to pick on women…if you see that happening remember stand up and help.

Testing… testing…

This has been a subject of discussion amongst a few of us for a couple of weeks. The person’s account below is known to three of our group, and he is NOT a whiner or complainer…

He’s an ex-Navy diver, working for a government organization; he has travelled extensively world-wide. This is his account of what happened on Flight 297 on the taxiway and at the gate in Atlanta…

One week ago, I went to Ohio on business and to see my father. On Tuesday, November the 17th, I returned home. If you read the papers the 18th you may have seen a blurb where a AirTran flight was cancelled from Atlanta to Houston due to a man who refused to get off of his cell phone before takeoff. It was on Fox.

This was NOT what happened.

I was in 1st class coming home. 11 Muslim men got on the plane in full attire. 2 sat in 1st class and the rest peppered themselves throughout the plane all the way to the back. As the plane taxied to the runway the stewardesses gave the safety spiel we are all so familiar with. At that time, one of the men got on his cell and called one of his companions in the back and proceeded to talk on the phone in Arabic very loudly and very aggressively. This took the 1st stewardess out of the picture for she repeatedly told the man that cell phones were not permitted at the time. He ignored her as if she was not there.

The 2nd man who answered the phone did the same and this took out the 2nd stewardess. In the back of the plane at this time, 2 younger Muslims, one in the back, isle, and one in front of him, window, began to show footage of a porno they had taped the night before, and were very loud about it. Now….they are only permitted to do this prior to Jihad. If a Muslim man goes into a strip club, he has to view the woman via mirror with his back to her. (don’t ask me….I don’t make the rules, but I’ve studied). The 3rd stewardess informed them that they were not to have electronic devices on at this time. To which one of the men said “shut up infidel dog!” She went to take the camcorder and he began to scream in her face in Arabic. At that exact moment…
Nobody Asked Me…: Testing… testing…

Great our economy is imploding, we have a Marxist who hates this country as President and now these Islamist assclowns are probing us. It might be a good time to review some advice on how to deal with these Islamic assclowns.

Apparently it is becoming something of a sport to disrupt Western Airlines with Islamic Stand up humor…or maybe something more sinister is going on? Who knows but I do know something, pay attention on flights. Be a sheepdog, not one of the sheep.

“Dear God, I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference.” When you are truly transformed into a warrior and have truly invested yourself into warriorhood, you want to be there. You want to be able to make a difference.

Don’t be prominent just be ready. Don’t be belligerent or obnoxious but don’t sit there on your ass if you see one of these assclowns stand up. Be polite, friendly and absolutely unafraid of smiling in their faces and asking if you can help them. Don’t let fear rule your day. Overcome it, stand up and be Mister helpful. If it is sinister you are going to die anyways so go down fighting, if it is not sinister your Mister Friendly smile is spreading good cheer to our fellow Middle Eastern citizens. Whatever you do, don’t let some poor 5′ 5″ Flight Attendant fight your fight.

Yea sorry about the title I am still upset that my 74 soon to be 75 year old Mother can absolutely count on getting the full monty search every goddamned time she flies. As if some 74 year old Grandmother is going to remove a mirror and tunnel into the cockpit to do what…overwhelm the pilots? I am pretty damn skeptical of that nonsense.

The Devil’s Kitchen: CRUdGate – Why this can’t be swept under the carpet

This is a brilliant take down of the AGW crowd. Click on through!

(NB, It’s me, the P-G)
As others have commented, ad nauseam, the response from the proponents of AGW essentially boils down to the following main components:

  • The mail (often there is only one, not several thousand threads of multiple mails and it’s usually only mail, rather mail, code, data and commentary) was hacked and that’s frightfully naughty. Aren’t hackers nasty? Particularly when they are Russian.

This does not merit any response beyond laughter.

  • The science is peer reviewed and it withstood that process.

Still an appeal to authority and, more importantly, dealt with damningly here.

  • This is but one part of the literature, it’s only a handful of bad apples and the structure is utterly unchanged even without it.

This is the main charge that our great friend George Monbiot lays out here and that must be tackled. That is what, with your permission, I shall make a hesitant attempt to start the process to do.
Firstly, we must understand how the whole thing hangs together, because the edifice of AGW is very definitely not just pure science, boffins in white coats in labs and so forth. It spans the whole gamut from real pure science, through the applied sciences and Engineering, passing through economics and finally ending up in the dark arts of Politics and Diplomacy. That’s a lot to take in, so I have created a handy diagram that explains. Never let it be said that your polymathematic Pedant-General makes you do the hard work.
Let’s start at the top, and bear with me.

  • If the climate and recent changes are not unprecedented, then there’s nothing to do. Let’s go to the pub.
  • If it is unprecedented, then we need to know why. If we don’t know if it is unprecedented or if we don’t know why, we need to stop here until we can find out.
  • If it is unprecedented but it’s not us, then we need to question seriously if there is anything that we can do about it and the answer to that is very very likely to be "no".
  • If it is us, we then to move into economics. Will the damage outweigh the benefit?
  • And even if the damage does outweigh the benefit, we still need to consider if the cost of stopping the climate change at source is less than the cost of adapting to the problem to minimise the damage.
  • And even if the mitigation does cost less than adaptation, we need to ask if our only option for mitigation is to subborn all our freedom to a putative benevolent world government.

Mindless Twit Mayor Starves Homeless To Save Them From Trans-Fat…Thanks a lot!

What happens when idiots get into office.

MAYOR BLOOMBERG ENSURES THAT HOMELESS PEOPLE DON’T GET FAT:

When a small church comes to the Bowery Mission bearing fried chicken with trans fat, unwittingly breaking the law, they’re told “thank you.” Then workers quietly chuck the food, mission director Tom Bastile said.

“It’s always hard for us to do,” Basile said. “We know we have to do it.” . . .

Lines at soup kitchens are up by 21 percent this year, according to a NYC Coalition Against Hunger report released yesterday. The city’s law banishing trans fat took effect in July 2008 and touched everyone with Health Department food licenses — including emergency food providers.Instapundit » Blog Archive » MAYOR BLOOMBERG ENSURES THAT HOMELESS PEOPLE DON’T GET FAT: When a small church comes to the Bowe…

    Which brings us to this bit over at Hill Buzz…amazing really. If this doesn’t worry Democrats then they are not paying attention. If Obama goes down the entire party and many of their most cherished beliefs will go down as well. Neato! Americans are waking up to the idiocy of leftist policies and more importantly their beliefs and actions.  This is an example of HillBuzz moving right…

    Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.

    2009-01-15-bush-on-911-rubble

    We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster.  President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it.  ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.

    Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush.  We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11.  He would have not gone there with a bullhorn and struck that right tone.  More likely than not, he would have been his usual fey, apologetic self and waxed professorially about how evil America is and how justified Muslims are for attacking us, with a sidebar on how good the attacks were because they would humble us.

    Honestly, we don’t think President Gore would have been much better that day.  The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indominable spirit that day…and we will forever be grateful to this man for that.

    As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.

    FOR HOURS.

    The Bushes went and met privately with these families for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them.Thank you former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush « HillBuzz

    Here is a picture of President Bush hugging someone else. You have probably forgotten this picture…but not me. This is what a man does. Obama never will.

    “Obama’s Atomic Bomb: The Ideological Clarity of the Democratic Agenda”

    With sales of Ayn Rand’s books skyrocketing it is obvious that the premise of this article is spot on. Obama has done those of us who value freedom a service. Whether we can take advantage of it or not is left in the hands of the party that has done such a terrible job of defending it in the past. Heaven help us because the Republicans will do all they can to subvert the tea-party. Neither party loves the idea of individual freedom. But the Republicans used to at least give lip service to the idea…perhaps out of self preservation they can finally rise up and back their words up with actions?

    The Democrats—shocked in their own way by the public response to their transparency—spent the late summer trying to obfuscate these issues. They have portrayed the protesters as “un-American,” the Republicans as obstructionist, and themselves as reasonable. Such attempts are further isolating the Democrats from millions of Americans, many of whom are beginning to see that the Democrats rather than the protesters are opposed to America’s founding principles. Unlike the atomic bombs dropped on Japan—which turned Japan away from dictatorship and toward freedom and individual rights—Obama’s bomb is intended to move America more quickly into authoritarian rule, and ultimately into dictatorship. Rather than acquiesce to the ultimatum, however, many Americans are standing against it.

    The protests and the polls are clear: Americans have, by and large, rejected the radical leftist agenda. But the issue is not yet closed. The Democrats have one last resource—one secret weapon—with which they can save their plans while avoiding political suicide in the next election. That weapon is the Republicans.

    If the Republicans compromise—if they accept federally-mandated health insurance in the guise of a “co-op” or the like, or a cap-and-trade bill that is marginally less draconian than the Democratic version—they will have once again capitulated to their opponents, abandoned liberty, and ruined the opportunity to redirect this nation toward its founding moral principle: individual rights, protected under a constitution in a free republic.“Obama’s Atomic Bomb: The Ideological Clarity of the Democratic Agenda” by John David Lewis

    NBC Chicago Is Obviously Racist! How Dare They Accuse THE ONE Of Insensitivity!

    And what is even funnier/sadder/more pitiful/stupider/ is that the Dumb Ass In Chief gets the shout out to Dr. Medicine Crow wrong! Dr. Medicine Crow did NOT win the Congressional Medal of Honor. He has been nominated by Max Baucus, yea the Max Baucus who is sponsoring the Health Care Take Over, well Max nominated Dr. Medicine Crow to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal the highest award given to civilians who perform an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity, and national interest of the United States.

    Which is NOT the Congressional Medal of Honor. But why would the Buffoon in Chief know about the highest award given to the military. He hates the military…that much is obvious in his callous treatment of the tragedy at Ft. Hood.

    Obama’s Frightening Insensitivity Following Shooting

    A bad week for Democrats compounded by an awful moment for Barack Obama.

    By ROBERT A. GEORGE

    Getty Images

    President Obama didn’t wait long after Tuesday’s devastating elections to give critics another reason to question his leadership, but this time the subject matter was more grim than a pair of governorships.

    After news broke out of the shooting at the Fort Hood Army post in Texas, the nation watched in horror as the toll of dead and injured climbed. The White House was notified immediately and by late afternoon, word went out that the president would speak about the incident prior to a previously scheduled appearance. At about 5 p.m., cable stations went to the president. The situation called for not only his trademark eloquence, but also grace and perspective.

    But instead of a somber chief executive offering reassuring words and expressions of sympathy and compassion, viewers saw a wildly disconnected and inappropriately light president making introductory remarks. At the event, a Tribal Nations Conference hosted by the Department of Interior’s Bureau of Indian affairs, the president thanked various staffers and offered a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow — that Congressional Medal of Honor winner."  Three minutes in, the president spoke about the shooting, in measured and appropriate terms.

    Great Comments At Althouse Discussing That Little Punk Sullivan!

    This is the best description of what we mean when we say “white culture” that I have read. It is an idea not a color…the reason it might be attached to a color is that white folks came up with the idea, thank you very much. But we never said others couldn’t adopt the same idea…matter of fact we encourage them to, then they become our fellow citizens, but not until then. But lately we have discovered that many of the folks in this country and those coming into this country do not accept this idea. They accept the idea that we “OWE” them their existence. Apparently they believe that we are their slaves. They are about to discover just how unused to shackles we are…bitter clingers indeed!

    John Clifford said…

    TraditionalGuy said it right…

    I am about as ethnic American as it gets. My ancestry is Scots-Irish, English, and French. My parents’ families (on both sides) have been in America before the Revolutionary War… well before. My distant relatives fought under Washington, and on both sides of the Civil War.

    This country was founded on an idea: as long as you bought in to the principle of America you could be an American. That principle is simple: enlightened self-interest. We protect each others’ rights in order to protect our own. If you’re willing to defend and respect others’ rights to life, liberty, and property, then you can be one of us. The neat thing about our fundamental rights is that they are negative; they do not impose a cost on others. (This explains “white culture” exactly!)

    What Buchanon, the Tea Partiers, and others (including me) are upset about is that there is growing number of individuals who DON’T believe in these rights, who want to substitute other "rights" for them, who believe that if they need something then they are ENTITLED to it regardless of the obligation this puts on others. Things like health care, welfare, and other peoples’ money. Just because they can get a majority of our elected officials to ignore the Constitution and vote for these programs as a way to buy votes.

    I’ve worked my butt off ever since I was a teenager. I’ve been lucky (but luck is preparedness meeting opportunity), too. I have a well-paying job and savings. Yet, I’m getting fed up with working almost half the year just to pay my taxes. When a person has to work for 40% or more of his time just to pay the government then is he really free? We all know what happens if you don’t pay the Man… he comes and asks politely, and if you say no he doesn’t ask, he takes by force. Ask Randy Weaver what happens when the government thinks you didn’t pay a $200 tax.

    Back when the country was founded, the only taxes were sales taxes. You didn’t pay taxes on property or income. When you pay taxes on property, you don’t own property, you rent it… and if you don’t pay the rent the landlord kicks you off. Today, we have a tax system where the majority doesn’t pay taxes, and robs the minority that does. If that isn’t tyranny then what is? (emphasis mine)

    This country has been broken for a long time, but things are coming to a head. Obama doesn’t help things when he bashes the rich between bites of arigula and wagyu beef, throws parties at the White House for his political cronies on the taxpayer’s dime, or takes Michelle on Air Force One to New York for a date costing us taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Instead of being a healing figure, he’s become the Great Divider… and he’s too arrogant to acknowledge this and modify his behavior. Obama is a one-term president, and the only remaining question about his term is how much worse he’ll be regarded than Jimmy Carter.

    Whether it’s because people go all John Galt, or our bankers the Chinese cancel our credit cards, Atlas is going to shrug and the whole world is going to come crashing down. Our economic and business policies have created a playing field where America can no longer compete, and until this changes our economy is going to be in the toilet. You’d think we’d learn from history, but as the saying goes, "Experience is a hard school but fools will learn at no other."

    It isn’t going to be pretty, and the chances of getting a free country at the end of it are slim… but the feisty types that make up the ethnic heritage that founded this country, the "bitter clingers" who were busy stockpiling guns and ammo after the election last year, are not going to end up on the bottom. Not if they can help it. Althouse: "[W]hite Americans do not realize how black they are."

    One of the most wonderful aspects of the internet is being exposed to all these different voices…it is immense!

    Now pardon me while I peruse the latest ammo deals and schedule my next Appleseed Visit! Till then I will be clinging to my bible and reading the Box of Truth!

    22 Reasons Why This Recession Is Different And Why It Will Endure by the Author of “How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It" and "Patriots: A Novel of Survival in The Coming Collapse" James Wesley, Rawles

    Read both the books and respect his opinion. The reasons he outlines are clearly described and sourced…if you aren’t buying food, ammo and finding a bug out retreat after you read this then you are not paying attention.

    Twenty-Two Reasons Why this Recession is Different and Why it Will Endure

    I find it surprising that I’m now getting inquiries from readers, asking if "we’ve reached bottom" in the current economic recession, and asking if the time has come to start buying stocks or residential real estate. It seems that the talking heads of mainstream media are using some sort of voodoo. How can anyone think that we’ve hit bottom, and an economic recovery is in progress? To dispel the myths from the CNBC Cheering Section, please consider the following. (And note that I’ve provided references for each assertion, just so you know that I’m not talking out of my camouflage hat.):

    The Dishonesty Of The Gay Rights Movement!

    This post was written by a friend who captures my sentiments exactly.

    Posted by guest blogger Reluctant Scribe.

    Disclaimer:  what I write here has not been "calibrated" for political correctness, but rather to speak truth as I know it.

    Recently, I have read a number of discussions of the Kevin Jennings scandal.  What I found interesting was that they all focused on the more narrow pedophilia angle, and largely brushed off the larger issue of the man’s active promotion of the so-called "gay" movement and the furthering of its agendas in our public schools, and the broader harm deriving there from.  It is sad commentary on our society that we have lost our collective spine in the face of a blatant attack on the fabric of our nation, by way of the "gay rights" gambit.

    Let me explain.

    The "gay rights" and "gay movement" agenda is dishonest.

    The fundamental purpose of pushing "gay rights" on society at large is to promote the disruption and destruction of the American family unit.

    Any permanent political takeover of this country requires that the stability of the family be undermined wherever possible, driving whatever wedges are available to push wives and husbands apart, splintering children away from parents, and making the concept of traditional "family" as irrelevant as possible.  As long as conventional/traditional morality and values can be transmitted from one generation to the next via the family unit, the social breakdown required to make tyranny plausible will take too long to satisfy the patience of any aspiring tyrant.

    The stability of any culture has always been reposed in the family.  The hijacking of a culture requires the hijacking of the youth.  Hijacking of the youth requires either accelerated cultural decay through dismantling the family or the direct application of force and intimidation to interpose indoctrination in place of the traditional transfer of cultural knowledge.

    The "gay rights" approach is only one avenue pursued toward this end.  The "free love" movement had this same vector.  Sex education in schools is the governmental effort to achieve the same thing.

    My insights into the gay movement and its strategies date back to the late eighties and early nineties, when I worked as one of a number of independent contractors for the NEA & NSEA (Nat’l Education Assn & Nevada State Education Assn) in Las Vegas.  After months of being a commonplace "fixture" on their premises, I became, in effect, invisible.  Conversations were held near me — in the adjoining office, in the hallway, even in the office where I was working — as though I were just another piece of furniture.  I overheard discussions of how to present the gay agenda to parents, educators, legislators, and children.  "In this setting, we promote the idea that being gay is a natural condition — you know, it’s not something that can be helped — and over here, we will promote the idea that joining our movement is a liberating thing, and here’s what we need to do to recruit more straights over to our side . . ."

    Yes, intentional misrepresentation.  I was treated to this data stream, in snippets and vignettes, over the course of some years.  I watched and listened as people were hired in preference to others because they were known to be gay, watched as strategy was formulated to protect a teacher accused of misbehavior "because he’s one of us," and so on.  With the passage of nearly two decades, some of those anecdotes blur together.  Others remain clear in form, if not in intricate detail.  Like the week when preparations for a Gay Pride event (in Washington D.C.) were being made, openly in the office, and with the approval of supervisors, and with the evident indulgence and funding of the organization’s executives (based only on what I overheard), resulting in a significant bloc of the office staff being "at large" (read:  back East) for about a week.  Remember, this is a group whose purported purpose was to represent the interests of its members, those members being educators.  To what degree, I wonder,  has this infiltration, by a group whose common theme is a sexual fetish, influenced the actions of these educators whose dues they collected and spent to advance the group’s causes as well as those of the educators themselves.  Like many, I suspect, I’m almost afraid to know.

    You probably won’t be surprised in the least to learn that neither entity, NEA or NSEA, as best I could tell, gave a rat’s ass about what school children actually learned or how well the kids were actually doing in school.  It was entirely about 1) politics, and 2) protecting their members.  And, of course, the proper indoctrination of students into tolerance of, and sensitivity to, gay issues.

    Until I worked with these people, I was pretty much "live and let live" about the whole gay scene.  Not so afterwards.  The organized promotion of "gay rights" and "gay community" as a "legitimate" cultural construct is a deliberate exercise in a disingenuous moral and cultural relativism ploy.  While protesting that "we just want to be left alone to live our lives the way we want," the people whose tool this is work relentlessly to impose and enforce this horribly misnamed "lifestyle" on the youth as broadly as possible.

    They demand tolerance, but they do not reciprocate.  They demand the freedom to slander those outside their "culture" while actively working to muzzle any criticism of their validity, methods, and practices.  Any disagreement is "hate" speech.

    This is stuff I can’t say in public.  This is stuff I can’t even say around many of my friends.  This is stuff which, nonetheless, needs to be voiced.

    Frankly, if it weren’t for the incessant effort to encroach on my family, my culture, my freedoms and liberties, I wouldn’t care tuppence whether two guys want to make out or whether two gals want to set up house together.  You want to pervert the normal order of things for yourselves?  Go ahead.  Knock yourselves out.  Just don’t tell me I have to accept it as normal and embrace it as a valid social order.  It isn’t either of those.  And don’t make it a mandatory part of my kids’ education.

    Don’t be taking your perverse jackhammer to the moral bedrock that is my family, or to the cultural bedrock that is this nation’s family.

    Lose the family, lose the nation.

    Save the family, save the nation.

    Another vote of confidence for our band of idiots in Washington DC. Course I need to correct myself since it is not idiocy that is driving the policies of DC but maliciousness. The crew in Washington DC mean to do us harm.

    This administration without any experience is doing more damage than is easy to assess at the moment, but I can tell you I am sure that we are moving in the wrong direction and i say that as half a democrat and half a republican. What we are seeing now just doesn’t make sense. The priorities have all been inverted."

    The kind of money that is being spent, and the amount of taxes that are directly and indirectly being proposed, are huge. We are seeing socialism-lite here- it would be ok if it worked, it never works. We are now in a position of complete unpredictability with the Obama administration and Congress: i don’t know what will happen. I have a sense that if once the public gets the drift and understands what’s afoot here, and these bills pass, then there’s going to be a very painful midterm election for the democrats.

    Cheery Thought For Today! Iceland Shrinks 8% as Prices Increase 11% in Deepest Recession! Hey Deflationistas Notice That Economy Is Shrinking While Prices Sky-Rocket…!

    Aren’t prices supposed to go down when you have a recession? Well yea unless you have devalued your currency so much that no one takes the “promise” of its value seriously. And when your currency is not attached to any rational measure of value promises is all you will get from the Government. Promises from governments have always worked out so well for those who have believed in them.

    Well America watch carefully to see the predicament Iceland finds itself in because that is where we are heading…fun fun fun till the daddy (China, Japan and other buyers of US debt) takes the T-Bird (they stop buying our promises)…away. The fun is just beginning not ending. Green shoots indeed! Those clowns who are selling that crap should be prosecuted and jailed. Back in the day they would be tarred and feathered…for killing the light of the world (United States) the penalty should start there.

    Worst Recession

    Iceland’s economy will shrink 8.5 percent this year and consumer prices will climb 11.7 percent, both the worst performances among the world’s 33 advanced economies, according to the IMF’s latest forecasts. As the rest of the world begins to recover, Iceland’s recession will stretch into next year, with the economy contracting 2 percent, more than any developed nation except Ireland.

    Neat that Central Banks the world over are starting to short the dollar…this is going to leave a mark. From a Barclay’s report:

    No one wants to be caught holding too many dollars, and this rising reluctance is increasing pressure on the USD. This is an obvious USD negative, but it is also means that the ECB and the EUR are caught between a rock and a hard place. The capital flows into the EUR have very little to do with any euro area cyclical dynamism. If the ECB were the BoC, it would label the current EUR appreciation as undesirable “type 2” flows driven by capital flows that do not reflect fundamentals. However, as anyone who has been to the doctor knows, getting a diagnosis is not quite the same as being cured.

    I would be sad about this sort of crap except that these children will grow up into worker drones that won’t know anything except what the state tells them. My wife is right…establishment schools are completely hopeless. Now I am simply outraged.

    These sorts of son of a bitches, the teachers and administrators, need to be dragged out of class, tarred, feathered and then run out of town on a rail. Whether they do this sort of shit for a Democrat God or a Republican god.

    Lying Liar And The Lies He Lies About…School Tests Written By Dear Leader!

    Remember the President’s Speech to school children? Remember how everyone was making fun of folks like me for thinking this was a blatant attempt to indoctrinate our kids…well your kids since mine homeschool? Well guess what? Apparently, He Who Lies was fully intending on giving a speech to indoctrinate our children before the uproar from conservatives forced a change in plans. How do I know he changed his plans? Well look at this test that was given to children after the speech. These questions seem a little prejudicial don’t they? Here is a portion of the test…go to Smart Girl Nation to see the rest.

    FCC’s Diversity Czar: ‘White People’ Need to be Forced to ‘Step Down’ ‘So Someone Else Can Have Power’

    Meet Mark Lloyd he is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s Chief Diversity Officer! Neato!

    Well gee maybe this guy is a bit over the top eh? That color blind society that Martin Luther talked about is so much closer now that we have a black man acting as President.

    This reminds me of those “diversity” clowns that run around universities banning speech, giving re-education classes and in general acting like the asses that they are. What we have here is the typical liberal university diversity czar…AKA fascist clown in a dangerous position of power.

    Conference on Media Reform: Racial Justice May 2005

    During the Clinton Administration, largely because of Congress who was then very concerned about affirmative action and believed that – although affirmative action largely benefited white women - that affirmative action was largely viewed as something that was benefiting blacks. Not necessarily any of the other racial groups (his laughter) but blacks. And that blacks had gotten enough and it was time to do something about this. These affirmative action programs needed to be stopped. We have not made much improvement since we’ve begun to pull back (sic) from those things in the mid 1990s.

    The conversation about how we communicate with each other despite being aware of the clear impressions that I know that I make in rooms that I walk into, when people hear my voice, is a challenge. How much do I express the… I think really pretty obvious complaints of black Americans in rooms full of whites.

    This… there’s nothing more difficult than this. Because we have really, truly good white people in important positions. And the fact of the matter is that there are a limited number of those positions. And unless we are conscious of the need to have more people of color, gays, other people in those positions we will not change the problem. We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so someone else can have power.

    There are few things I think more frightening in the American mind than dark skinned black men. Here I am.

    Fairness and Accuracy In Media’s CounterSpin Radio July 2007

    What we’re really saying is that the Fairness Doctrine’s not enough. And that having a sort of over-arching rule that says broadcasters ought to be fair or ought to provide issues important to communities and that they ought to do it in a fair and balanced way is simply enough. Unless you put some teeth into that and put some hard, structural rules in place that are going to result in fairness.  FCC’s Diversity Czar: ‘White People’ Need to be Forced to ‘Step Down’ ‘So Someone Else Can Have Power’ | NewsBusters.org

    The black panthers, Van Jones, Holder, Reverend Wright, Father Phlegar and the rest of the racist crew all support Obama…? Why? Hey maybe Obama doesn’t like white folks either? Maybe that is why he keeps putting these maniacs into places of power? Of course Father Phlegar, Rev Wright and are not in power but that was because they jumped out of cover before Obama was elected…so under the bus they went.

    If you are upset that I am asking this question you need to wonder how is it that so many blatant racists support Obama? Would they support Obama if he thought rational thoughts about white folks???

    The uneven economic recovery

    Those who know me know that I am not predicting any sort of recovery. But some very smart folks are seeing signs of it. Bookworm is one of those.

    Bookworm Room » The uneven economic recovery

    I am afraid that I completely disagree with the idea that we are closer to the end than merely at the end of the beginning of what will turn out to be a hyperinflationary depression. We are just now approaching the end of the beginning. Our slide into the abyss continues apace. That Bookworm see’s some signs of a recovery is merely bottom bouncing and the fact that indeed some parts of the country have not collapsed just yet. Pray that they don’t since I live in one area that has not…but I fear that reality will not be denied.

    This was a response I sent to a friends post to a listserv we belong to. I have revised it a bit since sending it to the listserv.

    Exactly all this talk of Green Shoots is smoke and mirrors by politicians who are doing their best to rob us blind.

    • Shipping has collapsed in all forms

    • Banks of all sizes are carrying loans on their books for items whose worth is less than the loan amount, sometimes MUCH less.

    • Commercial real estate mortgages are in a terrible state with huge defaults on the way.

    • Residential real estate is bottom bouncing with mortgages nearing a second round of huge defaults

    • Retail sales have collapsed

    • Credit card delinquencies and late charges are skyrocketing

    • Unemployment is rising and the numbers being quoted are dishonest especially when they are compared against previous slowdowns.

    • Auto Sales have collapsed

    • Our Banking industry is failing at record levels we have 94 failures THIS YEAR!

    • Our large financial institutions are engaged in vast schemes designed to leave the last one standing holding a very large bag of nothing. The plan is to have the US Taxpayer as that last man and our feckless politicians have enabled this generational theft.

    • Ponzi schemes thy name is the US Government.

    • Our manufacturing was moved off shore so our means of producing wealth have been stolen by crooks and thieves abetted by a public that didn’t want smelly factories and refineries in their backyards. Now they will get to have weeds…lets see how tasty weeds can become.

    • Our government is taking more and more of what little we are able to produce.

    • Our government is finding creative ways of setting one against the other in a desperate attempt to keep power.

    • Every aspect of Government has turned from serving the people to finding ways of perpetuating itself, even at the expense of our very lives.

    The only way a recovery can result from the cures we have given ourselves is if Zimbabwe is a good example of prudent governance.

    Larry Kudlow is as much of a problem as Larry Summers…and Bernanke. What needs to happen is what will NOT happen under ANY circumstance save for a total collapse of the US Government. The politicians are simply too drunk with power and stupidity to stop doing what is bad and start doing what is good.

    Stop spending money, start saving money, start giving us HUGE tax breaks starting with eliminating corporate tax, kill most of government, start rationally lowering barriers to production, revamp our enviromental laws, revamp our labor laws to reflect the fact that factory owners are NOT the enemy, address the social security time bomb, etc. None of this will happen, matter of fact we will move in the opposite direction.

    There I have had my cheery thought for the day.

    For more than 20 years, I’ve served my country, fighting to protect and preserve the American freedoms, rights, and values that make this country great, first as an Airborne Soldier – and then as one of the leaders of the Internet political revolution that has held arrogant and corrupt leaders accountable from city halls all the way to Washington D.C.

    After much thought and one helluva exploratory committee, the green light is on and I’m ready – I have decided to run for office.  I will change Illinois’ political landscape and culture of corruption.  But I can’t do it without your help.

    Senator Johnny Isakson, Can You Name His Party? Buffoons On Parade…

    Just so we are clear about what is bothering many regular citizens in this country. In my business if something doesn’t work I don’t continue to throw money at it. Used to be that we could tell who the Republicans and Democrats were by where they stood on throwing money towards problems. Read the snippet below and try to apply that same reasoning to the problem and you will probably guess this buffoon is a Democrat…you would be wrong.

    Johnny Isakson’s Position Statement on the Economy
    As our nation continues to struggle through the current economic crisis it is important to stay focused on the recovery aspects. I believe the key to returning stability to the economy lies within the housing market. We must find a way to keep people in their homes, stabilize foreclosures and return consumer confidence to the marketplace. Once stability comes back to the housing market, you will see investors and small business begin to reinvesting in job creating activities, which will put hard-working Americans back to work. I will leave no stone unturned in pushing to address the housing market as the catalyst for turning around our entire economy. Our nation has always demonstrated a strong resiliency and I am confident we will once again bounce back stronger than ever, where hard-working Americans are at the front lines of economic prosperity.

    Tax Credits for Homebuyers

    I believe our economic problems start with the housing market and that we must restore the house market if we are going to restore our economy. To draw buyers back to the market, I have introduced a proposal to invigorate housing demand and to boost the economy by expanding the first-time homebuyer tax credit passed by Congress earlier year.

    Specifically, my legislation would increase the maximum amount of the credit from $8,000 to $15,000 and expand the current tax credit so that it applies to any buyer of any home, not just first-time buyers. My legislation also would eliminate the income caps of $75,000 for an individual and $150,000 for a couple under the current tax credit so that there is no income limit for eligibility. Finally, the legislation would extend the tax credit for one year from date of enactment and would still allow homebuyers to claim the credit on their 2009 tax return for purchases made in 2010. Johnny Isakson, United States Senator

    Senator Isakson identifies the problem as foreclosures when in reality that is a symptom. It is exactly the result of his easy money, no penalty for failure policies, policies that he would like to double down on. Folks walk away from houses when they don’t have a lot of skin in the game. If I don’t put any money down plus I get tax credits for playing House Casino and additionally it is official policy that it wasn’t my fault and no penalty should occur if I walk away…well guess what? I will walk away when it becomes non-profitable. But since when has it been a Republican value that we take money from those who earn it to give to those who gamble it? Since when is it considered prudent to play the housing market like penny stocks? When did Republicans sign on to that nonsense…?

    One of the biggest problems facing the American people today is an illiquid housing market, a decline in their equity, a decline in their net worth and a depression in the housing market that we are obligated to correct if we possibly can. Today, in the United States, one in two sales made every day is a short sale or a foreclosure. That is an unhealthy market, and it is continuing to precipitate a downward spiral in values, loss of equity by the American people and a protracted, difficult economic time for our country.

    “We are obligated to correct”…who is this we Kemo Sabe? You got some dumb folks who love throwing good money after bad hiding in your pockets? This bubble you idiotic politicians have created may be the death of our financial system. It has already brought down a tremendous number of banks who thought gambling with other peoples money was a good idea. You not satisfied yet? Want to blow that bubble up one more time?

    How can we counter “progressive” Democrats when Republicans are proposing essentially the same dumb programs? Let me clue you in Senator Isakson.

    The housing market NEEDS to run out all these get rich quick schemers. And it needs to run out all those folks who did not use the same sort of prudence those of us who are not in trouble used when buying our houses. There needs to be a financial bar that folks need to be able to step over. There have to be penalties for those who fail to uphold their commitments to paying their bills.

    Sorry this is harsh but it is reality. You seem to have no problem at all using my money to bail out folks whose decision making skills rival my fish. I am offended by this since my money does not grow on trees. Senator some of us have to actually work for our money…we would appreciate it if you didn’t throw it away.

    Republicans heal thyselves!

    China investigates US auto, chicken imports…Tit For Tat!

    This is how depressions are turned into Great Depressions…we slap a tariff on Tires, they slap a tariff on auto imports, and we all go down the tubes together!

    China investigates US auto, chicken imports By GILLIAN WONG BEIJING

    China is launching antidumping investigations into imported U.S. auto and chicken products, the government said Sunday, adding to a string of trade disputes with Washington including a recent decision to raise tariffs on Chinese-made tires.

    The Commerce Ministry said it would look into complaints that American auto and chicken products are being dumped into the Chinese market or are benefiting from subsidies. The ministry said there are concerns the U.S. imports have "dealt a blow to domestic industries."

    The ministry statement did not elaborate on the complaints or how the investigation would proceed.

    Washington and Beijing have recently traded accusations of protectionism, which they agree will hurt efforts to end the global economic crisis.

    The U.S. and China, the world’s largest and third-largest economies, have been engaged in a series of battles over access to each other’s markets for goods such as tires, steel pipe, music and movies.

    President Barack Obama on Friday approved new tariffs on all car and light truck tires coming into the U.S. from China, a move Beijing condemned as protectionist and a violation of global trade rules.

    The Commerce Ministry’s statement said China remained firmly opposed to protectionism.

    "Since the financial crisis, China’s actions have proven this point," it said. "China is willing to work with countries around the world to act together to promote the quick recovery of the world economy." China investigates US auto, chicken imports – BusinessWeek

    ‘Those who (laughingly) “represent” us in Congress are vulnerable for the oldest of reasons: they do not have clean hands.’

    Read this analysis of the situation our politicians find themselves in after today’s march and tell me it doesn’t ring true!

    From Garry Hamilton in e-mail originally and now posted at his wife’s site… this must read:

    It should be remembered that in any public demonstration of activism, the percentage of participation — from within the larger group of like-minded constituents — is not only typically single digits, but down at one or two percent.

    If you can muster a million actual people, physically present, there will be AT LEAST between 50 and 100 people who would have gone or wanted to go but were prevented from so doing by logistics. And current estimates put the number in attendance at two million or more.

    Meaning that their sentiments are shared by anywhere from 100 million to 200 million people. Of whom, I would reckon the solid majority are registered voters.

    If I am a member of either House of Congress, these numbers tell me something about my future, and give me pause to contemplate the weight of the two primary threats to my career: “shall I succumb to the blackmail and extortion from the Administration, or cave in to the wishes of my constituents?”

    Those who (laughingly) “represent” us in Congress are vulnerable for the oldest of reasons: they do not have clean hands.

    You cannot threaten an honest man. You have no leverage. The best you can do is simple thuggery. And against a man of integrity and courage, you don’t even have that.

    All but the most arrogant among our legislators have to know, now, the mind of those they presume to represent.

    All but the most hubris-polluted will know that the usual shrug-and-dismiss protocol obtains no traction.

    Even with the abetting silence of the Fourth Estate, they must know they have no cover.

    What remains to be seen is who among them shall offer contrition and seek reconciliation with those whose hand holds the ballot.

    I suspect — if what seems actually IS — that those who bluster that it wasn’t their fault, or that they didn’t know, or, indeed, that they were right (in spite of the evidence) will be sitting out the remainder of the game from the next election forward.

    I only pray there are enough people left who don’t want the job to replace those husks of rotting souls who have believed that their election was the winning ticket to the ultimate privilege lottery.

    Brutally Honest: ‘Those who (laughingly) “represent” us in Congress are vulnerable for the oldest of reasons: they do not have clean hands.’

    As Glenn Beck is so very fond of saying…We Surround Them!

     

    Oh and watch this…really stop what you are doing and watch it.

    Obama heckled by SC congressman Joe Wilson

    WASHINGTON — The nastiness of August’s health care debate reached into the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday as President Barack Obama tried to move his reform plan forward.

    South Carolina Republican Rep. Joe Wilson shouted "You lie!" after Obama had talked about illegal immigrants.

    It wasn’t the only interruption during Obama’s speech to a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives. Earlier, Republicans laughed when Obama acknowledged that there are still significant details to be worked out before a health care overhaul can be passed.

    Wilson’s outburst caused Obama to pause briefly before he went on with his speech. Overhead in the visitors’ gallery, first Lady Michelle Obama shook her head from side to side.

    From the Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009 online edition of The Augusta Chronicle

    Hey Kids! What If Obama’s Teleprompter Breaks Down Tonight???? Here Is Where I Think It Might End Up!

    A person can dream….

    Van Jones Is A Feature…Not A Bug Of The Obama Administration

    Former White House staffer under President Reagan, Jeffery Lord puts together a solid if unimaginative article directing Glenn Beck to ask the following questions.

    Here are the questions Glenn Beck and others should be asking, based on my own personal experience:
    1. Who on the White House staff cleared Van Jones?
    2. What was that person’s connection to Van Jones or Mr. Jones’s political sponsor?
    3. Who, exactly, was Mr. Jones’ sponsor for this job? How much money did he/she contribute to the Obama campaign?
    4. Did the Secret Service notify anyone on the White House staff — or the President or First Lady or Vice President Biden — that Mr. Jones had an arrest record on file with police in two cities?
    5. Did the Secret Service protest any of this, objecting to Mr. Jones’ clearance?
    6. If the Secret Service did object, who overruled them? The President? The Chief of Staff? Someone else?
    7. If the answer to this last question is yes, and the Secret Service was overruled by the President or someone else, why did this happen?
    8. The White House is a busy place. But there are always answers to questions like these.

    Are you struck, as I was, by how naive and weak these questions are? Doesn’t Jeffery KNOW the answers to those questions? Is he afraid of upsetting the radicals in the White House? There really isn’t any reason to forgive the American public for crime it did to this nation by being lazy regarding vetting Obama. All of the connections to his radical friends and beliefs were available to anyone who did the least bit of searching. But if we are not able to forgive the American public, who are notoriously uninterested in politics, then exactly what do we think of an insider like Lord when he asks such naive and weak questions? Here Jeffery let me answer all of your questions…Obama.

    My goodness Mr. Lord did you miss the part where Obama was turned over as a child to a communist mentor? That his mother was herself a “progressive”? Did you miss the cheerleading for Obama that is going on in Marxist websites such as Political Affairs? William Ayers, Father Phlegar, Revrend Wright, Khalidi and a the entire panoply of leftist nutjobs did you miss all of them??? Because if you have been paying attention these last few years you know that Van Jones is not a bug….he is a feature of the Obama administration.

    Reading the comments I was struck by this commenter. Read this…at the end I have a couple of questions.

    Wow. Mr. Lord, are YOU stuck in the dark ages or what? Very cute, your assuming any rules of decorum or tradition or respect for institutions still apply to presidential politics.

    You think you are being SCANDALOUS by obliquely intimating that Obama might have – gasp – approved of a gangsta like Jones being in the White House? Hellooooooo! Obama WANTS people like this around him. It’s WHO OBAMA IS. Jones wasn’t approved in spite of his record; he was approved BECAUSE of it. Wake the hell up, you white-glove conservatives.

    The rules ALL changed with the coronation of our first hip-hop president. Hip hop culture draws in no small measure from the thuggish conventions that were forged in America’s raw urban slums. It is the romanticizing – and lionization – of the ghetto’s Lord-of-the-Flies mentality vis a vis the mundane middle class decorum practiced by the pampered bourgeoisie. The Vanilla Drudges that comprise the “ancien regime” spend most of their time safely insulated in the protective bubble-wrap of dreary suburban values – values that are invariably scorned by rebellious youth, counter-cultural trendiness and, of course, the newly-ennobled gangstas, pimps and hoes themselves.

    The hip-hop culture’s hallmark is a harsh, aggressive, rude style of in-your-face interaction, always punctuated by a crass materialism, a worship of instant gratification, an ostentatiously unapologetic avarice, and a bullying sense of entitlement that have been folded up neatly, given the stamp of “authenticity” and enshrined in our pop culture by our ever-so-wise children, “ageless” hipsters and, of course, “caring” liberals everywhere. And its impact on civility and the decorum that used to dictate dignified human interaction has been like hydrochloric acid on tender skin.

    Snipped for brevity…further down.

    And Van Jones personifies this mentality – and our tolerance of it – perfectly, no matter how much environmentalism, social justice, or well-tailored drapery he hides his ghetto ethic in. And the minimal cluck-clucking about what’s really behind his appointment proves that the tribute white guilt pays to thuggish black culture is, as ever, alive and well – as we see with Jeffrey Lord’s painstaking avoidance of – dare I say it, calling a spade a spade –and identifying what’s really going on with the Obama administration: It is the rise of the Hip Hop presidency. Even the ostensibly conservative Fox All-Stars Charles Krauthammer and Stephen Hayes delicately parse their responses to this travesty oh-so-equanimously, airbrushing out the more thuggish aspects of Jones’s behavior and laughing off a lack of basic civility that you can bet would have had their panties in a bunch during the Bush era. Why, who cares about the death of decorum, of serious people taking serious approaches to serious problems? (Jones IS black, after all.) Why, their only quibble is that Jones was revealed to be a – gasp – “truther!”

    Hey, Charles and Stephen: That should have been the last straw, not the first.

    So I wouldn’t count on Van Jones being kicked unceremoniously to the curb. He’s a “playa,” after all, and as hip-hop teaches us, we are to “hate the game, but not the playa.” And even if he is jettisoned from the administration, there are many, many more brutish, unhinged thugs where he came from. Just as occurred with the Reign of Terror, it is the very rejection of tradition, decorum, rule of law, common sense and civility that are the fuel of the Obama revolution. Wake up, conservatives. You have got to get hip to what the administration already knows: If you get rid of all of the rotten apples in this barrel, you’re going to wind up with an empty barrel. The American Spectator : The Real Van Jones Scandal: Why Glenn Beck Is Right

    That comment and many others like it was posted on the American Spectator site not some fringe site catering to white supremacy. Read it again. Striking that these sorts of comments are starting to become mainstream. I agree wholeheartedly with the comment. But it is still strange to see these sorts of thoughts discussed openly. 5 years ago American Spectator probably would have banned a person for uttering such thoughts. Makes a person wonder how well the post racial America is doing. Now my questions for Glenn Beck.

    1. Do you believe that Obama is subverting the constitution by appointing Czars?
    2. What do you plan on doing about it?
    3. Do you think that Congress has an oversight role to play in the President’s appointments?
    4. What if the President subverts this oversight role?
    5. What does the congress plan on doing about it?

    Finally

    1. Are the limits we have in place limiting the actions of the President effective against a person who might not feel restricted by traditions and who might be counting on the press to cover for him?

    Let’s not speculate that Obama is Hitler but we should ask what if a radical somehow got into power. Exactly how would we limit the damage?

    UPDATE: VAN JONES RESIGNS…one down a bunch more to go.

    My First Appleseed Shoot…August 2009 Video

    Sheesh Forgot to put a obvious link to Appleseed! Click Here!

    Wow what an experience. I grew up handling rifles, handguns and shotguns imagining my whole life that I knew what I was doing. To a certain extent I did as did the other 18 who joined me for a terrific experience in the 90+ heat of Southern Louisiana. But, I quickly realized that Don, the gentle retired physics professor from Kentucky who volunteered to be our instructor, knew a lot more than me and indeed more than the small group of Marines who joined us. We learned about dragging wood, NPOA (Natural Point of Aim), how to use a sling, tighten up groups, breathing, zero sights and in general how to focus on getting hits on the AQT Army Qualification Test from the standing, sitting and prone positions.

    We learned this from a man who was slight of build and had a gentle voice with a Kentucky drawl. Part of the weekend is spent hearing the story, as told by Don, of the first day of the Revolution. In his soft Kentucky drawl he told us of the bravery and determination the fighters for this nations freedom had…it was an amazing experience since as he was telling us a story too many of us are not familiar with the other rifle range continued operations. Against the backdrop of the crack of rifles we heard about the ambushes, the sacrifices, the tragedies and the horrors of the war. Horrors that our founders faced squarely. Don was an amazing instructor who volunteered to drive here from Kentucky to run this shoot…he is a man who knows what he is about. His wife rocks too!

    Apparently he was also pretty darn good at teaching shooting since out of the 18 who came 6 qualified as riflemen before the two days were through. Looking at other Appleseeds and their success ratio this seems to be a testament to Louisiana shooters as I don’t think most Appleseed events have that sort of success ratio. Btw I did not qualify…my top score was 178 with, you guessed it Don’s rifle.

    Karen, the Warden/Wife, went with me to see what it was about…Don didn’t think that the Marlin Papoose she was shooting was doing her any favors since as a survival rifle it is very short and not really meant for taking precise shots. He lent her his Ruger 10/22 that was tricked out with a Hogue Stock, Tech-Sights, and a variety of other neat stuff. Well as soon as he did this she started shooting extremely well. Don had created a monster! He thought that was pretty neat…I thought it was awesome!

    Appleseed Prone Position

    Here my friend Larry and my wife, with the white cap, are preparing for a session. Take a look at Karen’s form…knee up, support elbow under the rifle, trigger finger NOT dragging wood, great cheek weld and the resulting group proved the beauty of her form.  This is Saturday and it is about 95 degrees. That night Karen dragged me to Academy sports to find a Ruger 10/22…the clerk offered her a pink one. She smiled and said that nah let me see the black one. Tried it out and told me that she didn’t like the way the stock fit her, the cheek weld wasn’t right, said that we would have to find a Hogue Stock and other other tricked out stuff…clerk’s jaw dropped.

    Well worth the money I donated to attend the second Louisiana Appleseed shoot held at Sherburne Shooting Range

    The video at the bottom takes you through the entire cycle of the qualifying for Appleseed. We are shooting at the old Army Qualifying Targets set at 25meter. They simulate shots against 100, 200, 300 and 400 yard targets.

    appleseed-3

    I am shooting a Garand purchased from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. It is a Service Grade Rifle that is a tack driver…unfortunately the owner is not. I was telling everyone at the shoot that it was $495 but when I got home it was a bit more than that…$595, oops sorry fellas. My best score with the Garand was 167 or so. My best score with Karen’s favorite rifle, Don’s 22 was 178. I will qualify with my Garand. Anyways enough talk on with the video.

    That is Don walking along the back of the line…during the prone position firing you will see him walk up and correct my “dragging wood”.

    All in all a fantastic weekend with some terrific folks participating! Thanks Hank! That Brown Bess you allowed all of us to shoot was the perfect ending!

    Death Panels An Interview With President Obama – NYTimes.com

    Hahaha…That Sarah off on a tangent again…Death Panels??? Can I get a Harrumph!?!

    Oh wait…hmmm this looks bad.

    Now, I actually think that the tougher issue around medical care — it’s a related one — is what you do around things like end-of-life care —

    Yes, where it’s $20,000 for an extra week of life.

    THE PRESIDENT: Exactly. And I just recently went through this. I mean, I’ve told this story, maybe not publicly, but when my grandmother got very ill during the campaign, she got cancer; it was determined to be terminal. And about two or three weeks after her diagnosis she fell, broke her hip. It was determined that she might have had a mild stroke, which is what had precipitated the fall.

    So now she’s in the hospital, and the doctor says, Look, you’ve got about — maybe you have three months, maybe you have six months, maybe you have nine months to live. Because of the weakness of your heart, if you have an operation on your hip there are certain risks that — you know, your heart can’t take it. On the other hand, if you just sit there with your hip like this, you’re just going to waste away and your quality of life will be terrible.

    And she elected to get the hip replacement and was fine for about two weeks after the hip replacement, and then suddenly just — you know, things fell apart.

    I don’t know how much that hip replacement cost. I would have paid out of pocket for that hip replacement just because she’s my grandmother. Whether, sort of in the aggregate, society making those decisions to give my grandmother, or everybody else’s aging grandparents or parents, a hip replacement when they’re terminally ill is a sustainable model, is a very difficult question. If somebody told me that my grandmother couldn’t have a hip replacement and she had to lie there in misery in the waning days of her life — that would be pretty upsetting.

    And it’s going to be hard for people who don’t have the option of paying for it.

    THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right?

    I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

    So how do you — how do we deal with it?

    This is where it gets ugly…and just as lawyers have been trained to do from the beginning of time he does not allow himself to be cornered into saying that these conversations, guided by panels made up of Doctors, Scientists and errr ethicists, will not be voluntary. The elephant in the room is the idea that this “Death Panel” will not have the power to make blanket rules about circumstances which the government should not fund.

    I am from the Government and I am here to help.

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that’s part of what I suspect you’ll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.   After the Great Recession – An Interview With President Obama – NYTimes.com

    One has to wonder who Obama might want on his “independent” group.

    John Holdren springs to mind…

    John P. Holdren is advisor to President Barack Obama for Science and Technology, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST)

    Here are some choice quotes from the guy Obama might tap to be on an independent group giving guidance to the sick. Take it away Johnny! All of the following material is borrowed from the absolutely remarkable work by Zombietime blog.

    Harrison Brown’s most remarkable book, The Challenge of Man’s Future (Viking, 1954; reprinted by Westview, 1984), was published more than three decades ago. By the time I read it as a high school student a few years later, the book had been widely acclaimed as a monumental survey of the human prospect, illuminated through analysis of the interaction of population, technology, and the resources of the physical world. I knew even before high school that science and technology held special interest for me, and I suppose I also had some prior interest in the larger human condition. But The Challenge of Man’s Future pulled these interests together for me in a way that transformed my thinking about the world and about the sort of career I wanted to pursue. I have always suspected that I am not the only member of my generation whose aspirations and subsequent career were changed by this book of Harrison Brown’s.

    What was so special about the book? Perhaps most impressive at the time was the combination of audacity and erudition with which Brown wove together insights from anthropology, history, economics, geochemistry, biology, and the study of technology to provide a coherent, multidimensional picture of his subject—how humans have provided themselves with the physical ingredients of existence in the past, their prospects for doing so in the future, and the connections between these matters and the sociopolitical dimensions of the human condition. As a demonstration of the power of (and necessity for) an interdisciplinary approach to global problems, the book was a tour de force.

    And who is it exactly that Holdren admires so much? Well Harrison is a swell character. Here are some quotes from the book that Holdren claims had such an impact on his choice for his life’s work.

    Page 105 of The Challenge of Man’s Future by Harrison Brown

    First, man can discourage unfit persons from breeding. Second, he can encourage breeding by those persons who are judged fit on the basis of physical and mental testing and examinations of the records of their ancestors.

    Priorities for artificial insemination could be given to healthy women of high intelligence whose ancestors possessed no dangerous genetic defects. Conversely, priorities for abortions could be given to less intelligent persons of biologically unsound stock.

    Such steps would undoubtedly contribute substantially to a slowing down of species deterioration. But it is clear that they would by no means be sufficient. A broad eugenics program would have to be formulated which would aid in the establishment of policies that would encourage able and healthy persons to have several offspring and discourage the unfit from breeding at excessive rates.

    Here is Obama’s science advisor Holdren again lauding the perversion of life that Brown represents. We fought a bloody war against another group of maniacs who thought they knew who was fit and who wasn’t. Now we are putting this maniacs into office. Take it away Obama Science advisor Holdren.

    Here are some more choice quotes from this “Tour de Force” The Challenge of Man’s Future by Harrison Brown.

    In the first place, it is amply clear that population stabilization and a world composed of completely independent sovereign states are incompatible. Populations cannot be stabilized by agreement any more than levels of armament can be stabilized by agreement. And, as in the latter case, a world authority is needed which has the power of making, interpreting, and enforcing, within specified spheres, laws which are directly applicable to the individual. Indeed, population stabilization is one of the two major problems with which a world government must necessarily concern itself.

    Given a world authority with jurisdiction over population problems, the task of assessing maximum permissible population levels on a regional basis need not be prohibitively difficult.

    We are handing our lives over to a bunch of folks who think it is ok to decide who lives and who dies. We are handing our lives over to a bunch of folks who further think that there are too many humans on the planet. We are handing our lives to folks whose friends have talked about eliminating millions because they hold the wrong philosophy on life…take it away Weathermen.

    The title of this post is a partial quote from FBI Operative and Army veteran Larry Grathwohl who infiltrated the Weather Underground combined with an observation of my wife. It was question to Billy Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn and other Weathermen during a conversation about what they envisioned the United States would look like after they won the war. Yes he confirms that Billy Ayers, a person Obama called a guy in his neighborhood, was in the room when this was said: (thank you to Bob Owens from Confederate Yankee for a terrific article and to Pajama Media for hosting it!)

    I asked, Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists? And the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

    And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers.

    And when I say eliminate, I mean kill.

    Twenty-five million people.

    I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people.

    And they were dead serious.

    So when you laugh at Sarah Palin…maybe it is almost like whistling past the graveyard eh? Cause the folks we have managed to put into power are just this dangerous.
