Voting Rights

The House of Representatives just passed the Energy and Climate Change bill. Just so we're all on the same page, it is the bill whose logic is this: We can control the weather by taxing the American People.

This lunacy is brought to us by my favorite collection of tree hugging facists, Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party. This bill is nothing more than a major tax increase, and job extinction bill. Just like promised during the presidential election, Barry...(excuse me, he likes to be called Barak now)...Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry.

Any idea how much energy, as in electrical energy, we get from coal?

Consider this, if the cost to heat and cool your house goes up by, 40% as a result of this tax increase, how do you cut back? Sure in the summer, you sweat. In the winter, do you shiver? If you drive to work, the store, and to the doctor, how do you cut back? When the cost of grocerys goes up, how do you cut back?

When election time comes around think about it. All this was made possible because the Democrat Party voted for Nancy Pelosi to be Speaker, and she rammed the bill through. So, if your Representative is a Democrat, whether or not he actually voted for this bill, his vote to make Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House made this possible. If you're on board with these taxes and their effects, vote for him again. If your not, throw the bum out.

Oh yeah. One more thing. It doesn't really control the weather.

Fang Skull

At a height of about 5 feet, a kid has a different perspective on a lot of things. They know every dog in the neighborhood, and speak of the dog as if he were a friend. Property lines have little meaning. Nary a thought is given to cutting through backyards, side yards, and front yards on their way to the 'woods' or a friends house. They may borrow things, but they will never steal, and they will give you all they have for the asking. They haven't a clue about the value of a dollar, but they can tell you all about lucky rocks. At once, they treat their friends like dogs, and dogs like brothers. They are generous beyond good sense to friend and stranger alike, and loyal to the end even in the face greivous punishment. I think they pick that up from the dogs. They ride bicycles and skateboards with the causal elegance of a soaring hawk, crash them like flaming train wrecks, and rise again, bleeding but smiling and laughing. They find more joy in a single jelly bean than we find in Christmas, and, we try to teach these kids to be adults.

It seems to me, that we ought to consider becoming more like kids.

On Father's day, my son was in the worlds greatest store (Spenser's), and bought me a gift I will never, ever forget. Having blown my knee out last September, and despit having it surgically repaired, it still hurts and I limp a little. If you limp, you ought to have a cool cane. A cane much cooler than any that Dr. House might posses.

If you are a 12 year old boy, there is nothing better you can give your limping dad than a black cane that is topped with a skull with fangs.

If you are a limping dad, there is nothing better your son can give you than the look on his face when he sees you smile after opening a box containing the world's greatest cane.

It doesn't get any better than that.

Love Letters from Peking

Just like President Obama, when China senses weakness or an opportunity, they move with astounding quickness. Using many of the same techniques as our federal government used to take over the Mortagage Industry, a number of huge banks and General Motors, China is preparing to finally reign in it's 'renegade province', Taiwan.

China has read President Obama well. In the campaign season, his words regarding foreign policy spoke volumes to the observant Chinese. Here was a man so completly unprepared, that having Joe Biden as his 'main man' on foreign policy was truly an 'upgrade'. America had finally found a complete fool to elect president, hense, the opportunity.

Given the chance to endorse freedome, and the rights of man during this Iranian Election crisis, President Obama declined. Unlike every other American President, this president declined to use his bully pulpit to proclaim the rights of man to be free. He called it "meddeling".

China is thanking all 1000 of it's ancient gods.

North Korea can not flush a toilet without China's approval. On Chinese orders, they are ramping up their nuclear activity, begining to export weapons again, and testing misiles. All just to provolk President Obama to ask them to stop. They won't of course. Obama will ask the Chinese to make them stop.

They will, of course, for a price.

Taiwan.

For sixty years, America has stood between China and Taiwan. We have protected the freedom and independence of that island.

Now, they are protected by President Obama.

Of course, he doesn't want to meddle.

I am an American

I am an American, a free man by right, by God.

I bow to no man. Thought I may be governed, but I will never be ruled.
I do not expect my government to support me, to house me, to provide my health care, my child care or my job.
I expect my government to defend me and to protect the peace of the land.



My government has no right to spend my children, and grandchildren into poverty.
My government is not a health care provider.
My government has no business running businesses.
My government has no right to tax me for social engineering purposes.
My government has no right to take my earnings and redistribute them.
My government owes me nothing but equal opportunity.

I believe that equal justice for one, is equal justice for all.
I believe that if you believe Judges make law, you don't get to be a judge.
I believe that my right to own a gun does not infringe on your right not to.
I believe that Affirmative Action is institutionalized racism.
I believe that I am responsibile for my actions, and you are responsible for yours.
I believe that Man Made Global Warming is bullshit.

I am an American. A Free Man, by God.
