Did You See That?????

What the hell was that? That big blue blurr. I've never seen anything that big move that fast. It's an SEIU member, that's what that was. Usually you can't get a union member to move faster that an arthritic snail's pace, but just try to go up against one of their leaders (or stand in the way of the snack machine) and you'll see the blind, mindless zombies take flight. Just think how cheap and well made our American cars would have been if they built them with such intensity. We sure as hell wouldn't have needed a bailout for em.
People have had it with Great Leader's plan for healthcare/life span, so they are letting their elected officials know it. But wait one dog gone minute there. Messiah won't have dissent among the minions. No siree bobcat tail. You try that and he'll get on prime time tv to disspell any notion that his plan isn't what you must have. Unless he makes some kind of racist remark, then things will get a little sidetracked. But, after one of his life lessons, things will get rolling again.
More rumblings of malcontent? Dismiss it. Still more rumblings? Even louder? Sik the unions on em. Have em get it their faces. Why not? It worked in his campaign for King of the United States. Only this time, send a message. That message? Chicago style. That message.
And, so it was done in St Louis. A man handing out 'Don't Tread On Me' flags outside a townhall style meeting was knocked down in the street, beat and kicked repeatedly by goons from the SEIU. This is what it has come to........so far. Our President getting involved with personal issues between police and his pal, and sending out hits on citizens. Not to mention his soliciting information on anyone that would dare speak out against his plans.

Stupidly Is As Stupidly Does

On July 16th of this year Henry Lewis Gates Jr. returns from a trip abroad, only to find he has no way to get back into his home that he rents from Harvard. Finding no other option, he dicides to (as President Obama called it infront of a national audience) "jimmy" the front door. A woman, that is a neighbor, sees this and reports an attempted break-in to the Cambridge police.
Sgt. James Crowley was first to respond to the home the renowned black scholar. Gates was charged with disorderly conduct after police said he yelled at Crowley, who is white, accusing him of racial bias. Gates had refused to calm down after Crowley demanded he show him identification to prove he lived in the home. The charge was dropped Tuesday, but Gates has demanded an apology, calling his arrest a case of racial profiling. An apology from an officer that teaches a class on racial diversity on his own dime.
During Great Leader's Thursday night primetime special, he was asked about Gates' (who is a close friend of O) arrest. Messiah responded with "he didn't have all the facts, but I think it's fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry,No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home. And No. 3 -- what I think we know separate and apart from this incident -- is that there is a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately, and that's just a fact."
What was "stupidly" was going beyond saying he didn't have all the facts, and that's just a fact. Crowly claims that he was just doing his job but that Gates continued to rant "that I was doing this because he was a black man in America, that I was a racist." Crowley said that while he was radioing in Gates' name to the dispatcher for record, "I couldn't hear myself say it. He was yelling that loud," Crowley said.
Patrolman Carlos Figueroa, the second officer on the scene, told The Associated Press that when Crowley asked Gates to present identification, the professor shouted, "No, I will not!" Figueroa said Gates called Crowley a racist and shouted, "This is what happens to black men in America!"
With Gates calling for an apology, the Cambridge area police unions voiced their support for Sgt. James Crowley and called for an apology from President Obama for his statement.
From FOXNews.com, at an impromptu appearance at the daily White House briefing, Obama said he spoke with Crowley over the phone, and said he wanted to share a beer with Crowley and Gates at the White House."Because this has been ratcheting up and I helped contribute to ratcheting it up, I want to make clear that in my choice of words I unfortunately gave an impression that I was maligning the Cambridge Police Department or Sgt. Crowley specifically and I could have calibrated those words differently." Gave the impression? Calling their acts stupidly is an impression???
So there you have it. Even in the face of overwhelming facts, Great Leaders' ENORMOUS EGO will not allow him to do the right thing and apologize.

Manners Please

Mr Obama, if you can not control your children on visits abroad, they should be left at home in school where they could possibly be taught manners.

You and your family now represent all American people at all times. I would appreciate discretion in your and your family's conduct at all times.

Your family is not to be used as a billboard whether the message in question is yours or theirs. What's next? Paid advetisements?

T.G.I.F. (and for Farrah, Sanford and Michael Jackson)

Ah yes, soon it's date night. This week has been a real bitch. Great Leader probably thought the week would never end. What with that auto industry thing. You remember? Doubling up on the agencies? Come on. It hasn't been that long ago.
We got that new 2nd Car Czar this week, along with another agency. First we had the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry. Along with that, we now have the White House Council on Automotive Communities and Workers. Doesn't that assure you that we have all the bases covered?
Then we had those pesky Uighers. We got the first batch moved to Bermuda. Oh what a media nightmare that almost became. Now some of em don't want to go to Baloa, Bolao, Below, Blow or whatever that island is.
Seems some of that damn media was snooping around and found out Judge Sotomayor was more of a racist than previously thought.
The One probably thought this week would be a good one to quietly reestablish diplomatic ties with Syria and Venezuela. Ya just cant's have enough dictators and terrorists to support.
This week somebody noticed we're spending less and less of the porkulous money. You know, the money we had to get out there. No time to read the bill because America needed the money NOW. Well, seems you need a crowbar to pry open Messiah's checkbook. US is distributing about half the money it was a month ago. Remember a couple weeks ago when he said we're going to ramp the spending up?
Who can forget our pal in North Korea. Kimmy's little tug boat, Kang Nam 1, is floating it's way to Myonmar or where ever. Maybe with a nuke, but problaly not. Looks like all that tough talk from the White House meant nothing again. It appears we're not going to enforce that 'almighty' UN resolution. Who saw that one coming? Uhboma seems to have gone weak in the knees when Kimmy threatened to "wipe out US aggressors" with a "fire shower of nuclear retaliation." Maybe should have called him at 3 a.m. about that one.
Did you happen to catch that press conference on Tuesday? That coulda been one of those Nixon debate moments if the Prez weren't such a Joe Cool. Since when does the President of the United States do commercials for a blog? Way to get your plug in there Arianna. Too bad Major Garrett had to harsh his rhythem with a real question. That's how we found out he's been "apalled" and "outraged" all along about that darn Iran thing. We just didn't notice the message sublety coming from his statements. That whole Neda thing was just awful. Can't you just feel him?
Time for state run media on Wednesday. No, were not talking Hugo in Venezuela. We're talkin Barack in the USA. That big "debate" on healthcare didn't quite draw the people he hoped for. Seems a rerun of CSI-NY beat him out. Seems he came in last with the dino networks. Good thing though, cuz he kinda got tripped up when it came to the old folks. Under Obamacare Gramma isn't going to get that knee replacment because "evidence shows it's not necessarily going to improve" her health. Whoops! He also forgot to mention that, according to the CBO, it's going to cost 4 trillion smackerooneys. Those pesky facts.
We also learned we're going to have left over weinies on the 5th of July. None of those Jew hating Iranians are coming for our Indepence celebration. Wouldn't that be kinda iranic?
I'll bet the One had to drop to his knees to thank Allah for South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford cheating on his Wife. As long as he's down there, thanks had to be given for Farrah and Micheal Jackson grabbing some headlines. With all that going on, ABC, CBS ans NBC just couldn't find the time to let people know that the, arguedly, most important bill (to us) would be debated in Congress Friday. You know the one about that 1,200 dollar stamp I'm going to buy next year?
Time for a LUAU!!!!!!!!!!!
All that comotion also covered up that nasty thing about firing Inspector General Gerald Walpin. He's the INDEPENDENT Inspector General pushing for further investigation into one of Great Leader's pals and AmeriCorps. Gosh darnit. It also didn't hurt to help cover up the news that Representative John Conyers Wife, Monica, just plead guilty to taking bribes. Uh oh!
All is well now though. It's the weekend, Congress went on vacation, tomorrow is date night and all that nasty hubbub will be long gone with America's attention span and another news cycle.

Another Battle Lost

Seems public opinion means less and less these days. By 52% to 46%, more Americans disapprove of the new law expanding the federal government's power to regulate the manufacturing and marketing of tobacco products.

All the numbers I'm about to give out are from a Gallup Poll, conducted June 14-17.

The question was asked - Do you approve or disapprove of the new law that gives the federal government power to regulate the manufacturing and marketing of cigarettes and other tobacco products? When it came down to smokers, only 28% approved where 69% disapproved. (not too surprizing) Of nonsmokers it was much closer. 50% approved of the new law and 48% disapproved.

As a nonsmoker for over 2 years now, I'm in that 48% that disapprove. In this day and age, if you don't know smoking is bad for you, you are just too stupid. Jobs and livelihoods have been lost far too often. The nanny laws in place will never be reversed at this point, but they could be changed. Why not allow 'bars only' allow smoking? If they don't want to be around it, an adult should be able to make the decision to not go in a building where people might be smoking.

How many people working in a bar, that use that job to support their family and can't be or don't want to be around smoking, couldn't find a comperable job elsewhere? Take that number of people versus the family business' that have been lost, the jobs lost in those bars and the smoke shops closed down along with those employees.

Look at the small towns across the country, or just here in Minnesota, where the bar is the only business in town. Look at the small neighborhood bars that have been there for 40, 50 years or maybe a century. Sometimes those are the only gathering places for people that otherwise wouldn't socialize.

Another number coming out of this poll is 17% want it to be illegal to smoke anywhere in the United States. Anywhere! Unfreakin believable! Some one resting in a leather chair in Washington D. C., doesn't want some one on a small Pacific island (US territory), sitting on a large rock, overlooking a wide open ocean to lean back and relax with a fine cigar.

Part of America's culture is being taken away and in most cases, it's not what we people want. This isn't going to cause the downfall of America, but it hurts, and no one in D.C. or St Paul is listening. All because people in places of power need to justify the existence of their position or their existence in a political party.

Just as I started writing this, President Obama is on the news signing this new law. We've lost another battle.

What's It Going To Take?

What's it going to take Mr President? North Korea has a rocket aimed directly at Hawaii. They want to fire it on our Independence Day. The 4th of July!!! You know their history of creating havoc on our holidays.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said he has ordered the U.S. military to take defensive measures should North Korea attempt to fire a ballistic missile toward Hawaii. He has also said that “I think we are in a good position, should it become necessary, to protect American territory.” You THINK??? WTF??? Our Defense Secretary thinks we're in a good position. I want a DS that KNOWS we are in a good position. A good position is to see those missiles in piles of rubble.
Intelligence analysts do not believe the device, a Taepodong-2, would be capable of hitting Hawaii's main islands, which are 4,500 miles from North Korea. It is believed (believed???) to have a range of 4,400 miles. The survivors of the bombing of Pearl Harbor will be glad to know that our President and Defense Secretary "think" and "believe" they will be safe.
Protesters in Iran are risking their lives for just a little scrap of independence, but our President doesn't want to publicly support them because he doesn't want the US to be the issue. My belief is he doesn't have a freakin clue as to what might happen and doesn't want to be on the wrong side.
What should happen is the President should stand up and proclaim his allegiance to the people of Iran that are fighting for freedom. I don't think the people at GQ would be too upset with him if he did.
Both, Iran and North Korea, have made huge strides in their nuclear programs in the short time the O has been in office. What's he done about either? He's gone overseas to tell them that's naughty and to honor their culture. That didn't stop em. He's gotten an agreement from other nations that if NK tries to ship nukes, or nuclear stuff, we're going to tell them to pull over so we can check their cargo. And if they don't, we're going to be really, really mad. All that stuff they're flying all over the world, and all that stuff they're moving through China, well, we're not going to do anything about that......but we're going to be upset.
Both countries have fired test missile after test missile without more than a nastygram from Great Leader.
Israel has done what they could to stop the spread of nuclear weapon technology to threatening countries, (ala that big hole in the ground in Syria) of course with a cautious gaze from the US. They wanted to go in to blow Iran's program sky high but Bushy/Messiah wouldn't have any of that. How dare they protect their existence?
These are just two of the terrorist enabling countries that will do anything they want to bully freedom loving, or weak countries around. These are just two countries that should have been taught lessons, right from the beginning, that aggressions on other peoples will not be tolerated.
That's all over and done with now, as far as Iran and North Korea are concerned. They are quickly reaching the point of no return. That point, as of yet, hasn't been determined. What point is that? What will it take, Mr President, for you to grow a pair?
Oh, did I mention we're making huge cuts to our military, especially our missile defense?

Obama's Newest Idea - WASCAR

Let's see.....who else didn't vote for the ONE and what does he control that could hurt them? He's got those two car builders to play with and he's already taken care of those pesky dealership owners. (lightbulb comes on) Hey, how bout those bible thumpin rednecks at NASCAR?
In the words of our 40th president, "there he goes again." He is cutting factory support for Chevrolet teams competing in the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series. That means teams like KHI (Kevin and Delana Harvick), JMS (Earnhardt Jr.) and Rusty Wallace's teams are going to lose desperately needed cash and engines for their up and coming organizations. No word yet on how he's going to screw the Sprint Cup Series.
I may be mistaken, but didn't he have the audacity to show up at a race last year on his campaign trail? Those aren't the only people he went to lie face to face to.
This is going to completely destroy the smaller car and truck owners and further damage the already hurting Nationwide and Camping World Series'. There's a lot of loyal fans of Chevy in both of these series, especially since Toyota joined in. Kind of a "beat those imports" kind of thing. My guess is a lot of those fans might soon turn into Toyota fans and take even more business away from Government Motors. The way things are going, I can see an all import NASCAR. The messiah already has plans in the works to over tax those companies, so it's not too farfetched to see it turn into midgit racing.
