Instead of being detained in the Airport, Geertwilders was allowed past the airport this time and we found out why Muslims and their apologists tried so hard to stop him. The words in this speech are not those of a fanatic. These words are the words of a patriot and a lover of freedom.  He has been portrayed by the leftists as a dangerous racist, they have attacked the man because they cannot attack the message. As we have seen in the states, where any criticism of Obama is labeled racist, it is the favorite tactic of the left to toss around that label in the hopes of shutting up dissent.

Ladies and gentlemen, not far from here stands a statue of the greatest Prime Minister your country ever had. And I would like to quote him here today: “Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. No stronger retrograde force exists in the World. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step (…) the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”  These words are from none other than Winston Churchill wrote this in his book ‘The River War’ from 1899.

Churchill was right.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t have a problem and my party does not have a problem with Muslims as such. There are many moderate Muslims. The majority of Muslims are law-abiding citizens and want to live a peaceful life as you and I do. I know that. That is why I always make a clear distinction between the people, the Muslims, and the ideology, between Islam and Muslims. There are many moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.

Islam strives for world domination. The Quran commands Muslims to exercise jihad. The Quran commands Muslims to establish shariah law. The Quran commands Muslims to impose Islam on the entire world.

As former Turkish Prime Minister Erbakan said: “The whole of Europe will become Islamic. We will conquer Rome”. End of quote.

Libyan dictator Gaddafi said: “There are tens of millions of Muslims in the European continent today  and their number is on the increase. This is the clear indication that the European continent will be converted into Islam. Europe will one day soon be a Muslim continent”. End of quote. Indeed, for once in his life, Gaddafi was telling the truth. Because, remember: mass immigration and demographics is destiny!

Islam is merely not a religion, it is mainly a totalitarian ideology. Islam wants to dominate all aspects of life, from the cradle to the grave. Shariah law is a law that controls every detail of life in a Islamic society. From civic- and family law to criminal law. It determines how one should eat, dress and even use the toilet. Oppression of women is good, drinking alcohol is bad.

I believe that Islam is not compatible with our Western way of life. Islam is a threat to Western values. The equality of men and women, the equality of homosexuals and heterosexuals, the separation of church and state, freedom of speech, they are all under pressure because of islamization. Ladies and gentlemen: Islam and freedom, Islam and democracy are not compatible. It are opposite values.

No wonder that Winston Churchill called Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ “the new Quran of faith and war, turgid, verbose, shapeless, bur pregnant with its message”. As you know, Churchill made this comparison, between the Koran and Mein Kampf, in his book ‘The Second World War’, a master piece, for which, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Churchill’s comparison of the Quran and ‘Mein Kampf’ is absolutely spot on. The core of the Quran is the call to jihad. Jihad means a lot of things and is Arabic for battle. Kampf is German for battle. Jihad and kampf mean exactly the same.  Weblog Geertwilders – Speech House of Lords, London, Friday the 5th of March 2010

We know the left has used immigration to attack core values because they have done it in the states as well.

“Our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. Under the proposed bill, the present level of immigration remains substantially the same. Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset. Contrary to the charges in some quarters, the bill will not inundate America with immigrants from any one country or area, or the most populated and deprived nations of Africa and Asia — and in the final analysis, the ethnic pattern of immigration under the proposed measure is not expected to change as sharply as the critics seem to think.” Edward Kennedy 1965

LA Times article…

But that doesn’t make it right. No matter who wins the presidency, there is one thing we ought to learn from this campaign. In our rapidly diversifying nation, where we are all becoming minorities, the idea that any given group has an inalienable claim on a particular political seat, appointment or office based on demographics has officially outlived its usefulness. The fear of white decline – Los Angeles Times

From a post in 2008.

Here is what Teddy, yes the same Teddy who is lying in a hospital facing his maker, well here is what he said back in 1965 then what he said in 1986 then what he said in 2007. At least he is a consistent liar.

• 1965: “The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs.”
• 1986: “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.”
• 2007: “Now it is time for action. 2007 is the year we must fix our broken system.

Here is the ultimate aim of the left.

Some party hack decreed that the people
had lost the government’s confidence
and could only regain it with redoubled effort.
If that is the case, would it not be be simpler,
If the government simply dissolved the people
And elected another? Bertolt Brecht.

So much bullshit so little time. When the government is spewing/spinning the numbers to make us all believe that everything is fine, just back up and say; Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining…

Then check out the tax withholding statistics published by the Treasury Department. Not a whole lot of ways to spin this except to say in Scooby’s voice, Ruh Oh. Those green shoots just got blasted with Round Up.

February was not an auspicious start to Obama’s record budget deficit-busting plans. The Daily Treasury Statement for the full month of February was just released, and it disclosed that while corporate tax withholdings, net of refunds, actually climbed marginally to $3.4 billion from $(3.4) billion in February 2009, individual tax withholdings plunged to a multi-year low of $30.7 billion. Combined, the two items also posted a multi low of $34 billion, less than the previous recent low from February 2009 when the first leg of the Greater Depression was allegedly at its zenith (see chart below). We can’t wait to hear how the "recession is over" brigade will paint this particular data point.

February 2010 Federal Tax Withholdings Plunge To Multiyear Low | zero hedge

So then the next question to ask is why the hell are we spending so much damn money? Do these fools actually believe that you can spend your way out of this? Hey maybe Obama isn’t really trying to fix this? Or maybe his definition of “fixed” is a bit different than yours and mine? Hey maybe his definition of fixed has something to do with this?

Critics claim Obama’s budget is an example of the Cloward-Pivin model of planned economic destruction of a functioning capitalist economy via sabotage. Outlays are so gigantic, and so dreadfully misspent, that our financial infrastructure will soon collapse. A trillion dollar tax increase and spending rising by $10 trillion dollars over the next decade is probable. If so, government default will occur, only offset by mass currency printing, which will then bankrupt the general populace. The middle class will fall. Chronic inflation will result, causing America to lose its sterling credit rating. Global financial players must dump the dollar as it swan-dives. Then, hyperinflation will accelerate, and the era of superpower America will end.

Would the above plan be Marxist? Consider the following statement regarding USSR dictator Vladimir Lenin’s opinion on the topic, from famed economist John Maynard Keynes’ book "The Economic Consequences of the Peace":

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

Once you really start digging into what is going on amongst all those really smart people in High Finance, all those Harvard Educated Types, you start to realize what a bunch of clowns we have running the show. Zero Hedge wonders if the Federal Reserve is buying Greek Bonds.

We hope that some enterprising congressman will find the courage to ask Bernanke on the record tomorrow whether the Fed has at any time in both the far and recent past, purchased Greek Government Bonds in order to artificially inflate their prices. Because if the Fed has the ability to do something, it usually does, especially if it means extending the bankrupt global status quo by at least one more day. And even if the Fed has not bought any GGBs at yields of 6.8%, will it do so when yields hit 8%, or 10%, or when bondholders finally start dumping GGB in industrial amounts and the only available buyer becomes Mr. Ben "Endless Reserve Currency Pockets" Bernanke himself? And with Goldman one of the biggest sellers of Greek CDS (forget that AIG BS, the Goldman boys now are directly taking on lack of novation risk), how long before the MTM for Goldman quickly works out against them and those hotline into Bernanke’s office start flashing. Oh but don’t worry, at that point the Federal Reserve will join the EU in blaming all those other pesky CDS speculators (Goldman, of course, excluded), whom it was the Fed’s patriotic duty to defend against. And, after all, with only about 200 people understanding the mechanics of every lie involving CDS, the opportunity cost for yet more acts of treason are ever so low. Is The Federal Reserve Buying Greek Bonds? | zero hedge

And I wonder why they might be doing so. Could it be that the Federal Reserve is covering up another huge AIG bad decision? Well maybe so.

Here is a translation from the German equivalent of the New York Times that declares AIG as the primary seller of insurance against a Greek Default provided by EuroSavant.

Greek banks as insurers
On the other hand, whoever expected Greece’s rescue by Europartner countries would have had to position himself on the CDS market as an insurer, that is, as a seller of payment protection. The take in premiums from insurance protection sold provides increased revenue. But it’s on the seller-side that the weak points of the CDS market become evident. It’s still unclear who has sold insurance protection for Greece. In one study analysts from the major French bank BNP Paribas referred to market-rumors that Greek banks had insured a large sum by CDS. If this is correct, then the payment protection they have provided is worth nothing. Greek banks hold State debt of over 40 billion euros. This corresponds roughly to the entire amount of equity in the Greek credit market. A bankruptcy of the State would lead to a collapse of the banking system.

London investment bankers name AIG as a further CDS-seller. That company had to be nationalized during the financial crisis due to its having written insolvency insurance on American mortgages. This debt-load would have led to the collapse of the world’s biggest insurer. Prior to the financial crisis AIG is said to have widely held State credit-risk. If yet-larger insurance positions on Greece exist, then the American government would have a strong interest in preventing that country’s insolvency.
Even if these are mere rumors about the Greek banks and AIG, this example makes clear the weakness of CDS markets. This protection is sold by banks or insurers who themselves have access only to limited capital resources. They have as a rule clearly lesser credit-worthiness than the states for which they are selling insolvency protection. Insurance by CDS could turn out to be just a bubble.

Wow these guys at AIG sure have a knack for writing insurance they cannot cover. Sort of like the politicians whose mouths write checks our labor can never cover!

Fun and games around the globe gathered up from a terrific site I just discovered Daily Job Cuts.

McDonald’s Corp. (MCD) is closing 430 restaurants in Japan, the latest sign of the faltering economy in the Asian country.

A 50% owned affiliate will shutter the locations over the next 12 to 18 months in conjunction with the strategic review of the company’s real estate portfolio. The world’s largest restaurant chain plans to take charges of $40 million to $50 million in the first half of the year. McDonald’s Holdings Co. (Japan) has 3,700 stores.

This next one is amusing…amid a recovering economy UPS is slashing 300 pilots from its roles.

UPS Announces Plans To Furlough At Least 300 Pilots >UPS

United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) announced plans to furlough at least 300 of its airline pilots as the world’s largest package shipper by volume cited a continued need for belt-tightening amid a gradual economic recovery.

One of the true measures regarding the health of our economy are tax revenues. Now of course these may be more accurate because they have not been used very often for mainstream economic reporting so it may happen that politicians will realize soon that those numbers must be “adjusted”. Regardless take a look at what Missouri is being forced to do because net general revenue collections are down 22% from 2009 to 2010. Take special note of the last bit of the first sentence.

Missouri cuts $74M in expenses, 120 jobs, to balance budget

Missouri will cut an additional $73.8 million of expenses to keep its budget balanced in light of continuously falling tax revenue.

State officials reported Tuesday that year-to-date revenue for the 2010 fiscal year is down 12.5 percent compared with the same period in 2009. The difference is approximately $560 million, about $3.88 billion this year compared with $4.44 billion last year.

Net general revenue collections for January were down 22.4 percent to $561.2 million, compared with $722.8 million in January 2009.

Hmmm…first we had the jobless recovery now I guess we can call it the Jobless/Taxless Recovery. Apparently the only thing recovering is the Government’s ability to backstop lots of corrupt businesses with my future labor and that of all my children and grand children. Can you say screwed? I know you can! Cause we are!

Pretty soon we are going to get a sucker punch from Iran and it won’t be pretty. Yea I know these folks are always talking big and delivering little but sooner or later they will get it right and when they do we are NUMBER ONE SATAN!

Iran anniversary ‘punch’ will stun West: Khamenei

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, seen here in January 2010, said on M…

Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Monday that Iran is set to deliver a "punch" that will stun world powers during this week’s 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God’s grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned," Khamenei, who is also Iran’s commander-in-chief, told a gathering of air force personnel.

The country’s top cleric was marking the occasion when Iran’s air force gave its support to revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a key event which led to the toppling of the US-backed shah on February 11, 1979.

His comments came as Iran said it would begin to produce higher enriched uranium from Tuesday, in defiance of Western powers trying to ensure the country’s nuclear drive is peaceful. Iran anniversary ‘punch’ will stun West: Khamenei

Here is a snippet of an article written in 2008 by Robert F Kennedy Jr. published in the Los Angeles Times.

In Virginia, the weather also has changed dramatically. Recently arrived residents in the northern suburbs, accustomed to today’s anemic winters, might find it astonishing to learn that there were once ski runs on Ballantrae Hill in McLean, with a rope tow and local ski club. Snow is so scarce today that most Virginia children probably don’t own a sled. But neighbors came to our home at Hickory Hill nearly every winter weekend to ride saucers and Flexible Flyers. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

That changing weather…darnnit why doesn’t it ever just make up its mind.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Mid-Atlantic U.S. on Sunday began carving a path through the piles of wet, heavy snow in below-freezing temperatures while power crews tried to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and clear streets for work on Monday.

The National Weather Service called the storm "historic" and reported a foot of snow in parts of Ohio and 2 feet or more in Washington, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Parts of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia got closer to 3 feet.

Many roads reopened but officials continued to warn residents that highways could be icy and treacherous. The snow snapped tree limbs onto power lines and several roofs collapsed under the weight. In Washington, city officials said it was unclear if the roads would be clear enough for workers to get in on Monday.

Sadly for the country the snow fell somewhat short of covering up the nonsense going on inside.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Please call your office!

Amidst all the bullshit claims by the Government about unemployment remember this one fact. The total number of folks in the work force is going down…now explain that away.

Either these folks moved to another country, died, or their jobs just evaporated. Then explain to me exactly how we have a recover or even the beginnings of one when all these folks are not paying taxes, buying cars, buying houses or better yet making payments on all those upside down mortgages running around these days.

Drudge puts up a link to a Reuters story talking about how Obama will be instituting backdoor taxes on the American public. Then the link goes dead…to be replaced by this. Screenshot since this is incriminating evidence that will likely be pulled down shortly.

Reuters must have gotten a call from Rahm asking them just exactly what the hell was going on? Is Reuters trying to destroy the Obama administration by telling the truth? Apparently the rest of the media is playing along so Reuters jumped on board the cover Obama’s ass crazy train.

Only problem is someone forgot to tell Yahoo News Canada! They still have the story reproduced entirely just so they cannot pull this shit twice. Hey I am saving Reuters from themselves! Nice guy eh?

After looking at this story it is easy to see why the Obama administration or the Democrats or both might just want to bury this. After all this sort of shit has usually been unveiled inside a bill that all of us have 2 hours to read on a Friday night at 2am before it is voted on, passed then signed into law by 5am.

I highlighted the really fun parts.

Change you can believe in…in the spirit of the times may I suggest we passed the line some time ago where our founding fathers would have revolted.

Backdoor taxes to hit middle class

Mon Feb 1, 4:09 PM

By Terri Cullen

NEW YORK (Reuters.com) –The Obama administration’s plan to cut more than $1 trillion from the deficit over the next decade relies heavily on so-called backdoor tax increases that will result in a bigger tax bill for middle-class families.

In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year — effectively a tax hike by stealth.

While the administration is focusing its proposal on eliminating tax breaks for individuals who earn $250,000 a year or more, middle-class families will face a slew of these backdoor increases.

The targeted tax provisions were enacted under the Bush administration’s Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. Among other things, the law lowered individual tax rates, slashed taxes on capital gains and dividends, and steadily scaled back the estate tax to zero in 2010.

If the provisions are allowed to expire on December 31, the top-tier personal income tax rate will rise to 39.6 percent from 35 percent. But lower-income families will pay more as well: the 25 percent tax bracket will revert back to 28 percent; the 28 percent bracket will increase to 31 percent; and the 33 percent bracket will increase to 36 percent. The special 10 percent bracket is eliminated.

Investors will pay more on their earnings next year as well, with the tax on dividends jumping to 39.6 percent from 15 percent and the capital-gains tax increasing to 20 percent from 15 percent. The estate tax is eliminated this year, but it will return in 2011 — though there has been talk about reinstating the death tax sooner.

Millions of middle-class households already may be facing higher taxes in 2010 because Congress has failed to extend tax breaks that expired on January 1, most notably a "patch" that limited the impact of the alternative minimum tax. The AMT, initially designed to prevent the very rich from avoiding income taxes, was never indexed for inflation. Now the tax is affecting millions of middle-income households, but lawmakers have been reluctant to repeal it because it has become a key source of revenue.

Without annual legislation to renew the patch this year, the AMT could affect an estimated 25 million taxpayers with incomes as low as $33,750 (or $45,000 for joint filers). Even if the patch is extended to last year’s levels, the tax will hit American families that can hardly be considered wealthy — the AMT exemption for 2009 was $46,700 for singles and $70,950 for married couples filing jointly.

Middle-class families also will find fewer tax breaks available to them in 2010 if other popular tax provisions are allowed to expire. Among them:

* Taxpayers who itemize will lose the option to deduct state sales-tax payments instead of state and local income taxes;

* The $250 teacher tax credit for classroom supplies;

* The tax deduction for up to $4,000 of college tuition and expenses;

* Individuals who don’t itemize will no longer be able to increase their standard deduction by up to $1,000 for property taxes paid;

* The first $2,400 of unemployment benefits are taxable, in 2009 that amount was tax-free. Print Story: Backdoor taxes to hit middle class on Yahoo! Canada News

Green Shoots Anyone? From Market Ticker’s Karl Denninger.

Well, as Kirk said, "here it comes"

Moody’s Investors Service put $572.7 billion in Alternative-A residential mortgage-backed securities issued from 2005 through 2007 on watch for possible downgrade after it revised its loss provisions.

The rating agency said Alt-A loans that are 60 or more days delinquent "have increased markedly" since it last revised its loss projections. Alt-A mortgages, which sit between prime and subprime, typically were granted without the borrower showing proof of income or assets.

That’s a cool half-a-trillion worth.

And guess what this means for loss rates?

Moody’s said it now projects, on average, cumulative losses of 14% of the original balance for 2005 securitizations, 29% for 2006 securitizations and 35% for 2007 securitizations. The updated loss projections will have the greatest impact on senior securities issued in 2005, the firm said. ALT-A: "Here It Comes" – The Market Ticker

Does a bear shit in the woods? I mean hell guys the thugs running our government take us for easy marks because some of us think that stealing from the productive is legitimate, others think that our government couldn’t possibly be corrupt and others think that it is only corrupt when this or that party is in power. No one apparently understands that what we have in Washington DC are a bunch of thugs who imagine that I OWE them everything I produce and that these thugs apparently work in both parties.

Well we are waking up and part of that process of waking up is finding out just how much the government is lying to us. For INSTANCE!

Hey what if the Government simply decided to lie to us about how they spent our money? What then? Here is a terrific find by Zero Hedge.

There is an old saying, "when in doubt follow the money." These days investors have lots of doubt about pretty much everything (if not so much money). And with data from the government increasingly bearing the Quality Control stamp of approval of the Beijing Communist Party, there is much doubt in store courtesy of an administration which will stop at nothing in its competition with China as to who can blow the biggest asset bubble the fastest, data integrity be damned. Undoubtedly, of all government released data, the most important is, and continues to be, anything relating to unemployment. This is precisely where the government’s propaganda armada is focused. Yet in matters of (un)employment, the ultimate authority is, luckily, the Treasury, and not the Fed. "Luckily," because when it comes to making money "difficult to follow" Tim Geithner’s office still has much to learn. Which is why when we looked at the Daily Treasury Statement data we were very surprised: because it indicates that the government could be under-representing employment data by up to 32%!

Is The Government Misrepresenting Unemployment By 32%? | zero hedge

I would bet dollars to donuts that this money has simply disappeared. Gone down into the rat-holes of the politically favored pockets. Into corrupt politicians pockets, gone down into corrupt organizations pockets, organizations like ACORN, went to pay off intelligence officials who surely know what is going on in our government but are being paid off.

But hey maybe I am wrong. Maybe all of this money is really going to unemployed folks and the government is simply not being honest about how many of our fellow citizen’s lives the government has ruined with their policies.

I certainly hope there is a better explanation than what I imagine I would hate to see the reaction of my fellow citizens if this were simple highway robbery. Tar and feathers would be too kind.

These bastard socialists/communists and their “moderate” enablers need me…I do not need them. If they were to vanish from the earth I would hardly notice. But they would rue the passing of those like me since no one would be around to pay for their fantasy worlds.

Well this bill is a bridge too far for me. The outrage of our government taking over 1/6th of our economy without a single Republican vote is beyond excuse or explanation. To ruin the finest healthcare on the planet so they can claim some sort of pyrrhic victory to honor the bowing simpleton college radical, some call a President, is an outrage too far.

The contempt these bastard Democrats hold us deserves nothing but for us to raise our voices much louder than we have so far until we silence them.

I pledge my self to the defeat of Mary Landrieu and any other rotten two faced so-called moderate Democrats. We have had enough of your lies…you want war then war it is…and no Mary we won’t forget.

We can’t stop them from passing their radical, unpopular, rationed health care legislation but we can promise them this:

We promise to actively and openly campaign against every democrat who votes for this bill no matter if you are a red state democrat or a blue state democrat.

We promise to forever kill the myth that there is such a creature as a bluedog democrat.

We promise to donate to campaigns to defeat the democrats who vote for this radical expansion of the federal government.

We promise to make it known how you bought your votes with our taxpayer money to pass this bill.

We promise that we will never forget how your party leaders and your state-run media called Americans who opposed this lousy nationalized health care bill – mobsters, radicals, Nazis and teabaggers.

We promise to  never forget that you voted to force taxpayers to fund abortion by voting for this bill and that your bill requires a monthly abortion fee.

We promise to never forget that your plan allows for government coverage of illegal aliens.

We promise to attend your town hall meetings and confront you about your vote to takeover one-sixth of the nation’s economy. Not even your SEIU and ACORN thugs will keep us away.

We promise to let Americans and seniors know that democrats just cut $470 billion from their Medicare.

We promise to let Americans know that you voted to ration their health care.

We promise to NEVER FORGET that you voted against the wishes of the people you represent.

We promise…
(Feel free to add your own.)

UPDATE: These four democrats have not announced how they will vote.
I’m not holding my breath.

So when do we start hearing about flying while Muslim? Getting more frequent these “dry runs”…wonder why?

"I have never seen flight attendants so scared in my life. Everything turned out OK, but it was not a very good feeling. It would have been nice to have been updated though this process," he told 9NEWS by phone.

Sloan says seven men were escorted off of the plane. Two of them were sitting in coach. The other five were sitting in first-class, he says. All were re-booked onto another flight according to United.

Sloan says the men were attempting to change seats with other passengers. Another passenger, who doesn’t want his name used, says the men were also trying to move luggage while the plane was getting ready to push back.

Passengers tell 9NEWS all of the men looked to be "Middle Eastern," but United will not confirm the identity of the seven men. 9NEWS.com | Denver | Colorado’s Online News Leader | United Airlines passengers removed from flight at Denver airport

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

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.

Great Cartoon!

Move over, Rosie the Riveter. Here comes Sarah, and it’s not just rivets she’s packing. –All Right Magazine

No matter how you feel about Alaska’s former governor, everyone has an opinion. Today, America is arguably in peril from forces potentially as destructive as Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. During WWII Rosie the Riveter kept ‘em flying, and today when most of our "conservative" leaders are majoring in hand-wringing, the girls are stepping up. –Dale

Sometimes folks tend to underestimate how rough the common man can be in the United States!

Same sort of shit different day. Gosh darn, people who voted for him, can we pray that next time you might tear yourselves away from Jerry Springer for a couple of minutes to do at least the slightest bit of vetting? All of this sort of behavior was PREDICTED…it was OBVIOUS…and yet you folks were blind to it. Here are some old posts proving the point.

Michael Barone Sounds The Alarm About the Coming Thugocracy of Obama…"First They Came for the Communists" MSM and Some Conservative Elite Tone Deaf to Their Mortal Danger.

“Well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?” What if the Left put up a Candidate so far left that no one would believe how dangerous he was…

Let’s not forget what his dear wife was wearing at the same event because we shouldn’t question their patriotism.

Then we can remember Obama in this position…

He would have kissed his ass but the King couldn’t understand Obama’s request that he turn around.
