Palintology

I like Sarah Palin because she isn't an ' elitist intellectual'. She didn't go to an Ive League School and most importantly she speaks plain english.

I like Sarah Palin because she is a soccer mom acting on her values, not a political hack or meglomaniac persuing a life long dream of political power. She's not out to establish "economic" justice or 'fix' the Constitution. Sarah Palin is a soccer mom who got angry at her city council for doing things she thought were wrong. She got involved and she won a seat on the council. Next, she became mayor, and finally she became governor. All this, because she didn't like the way things were being done. She wasn't elected because she is a woman. She was elected because a lot of people agreed with her ideas about what was wrong with government.

I like Sarah Palin because she is not the product of an corrupt political machine. Instead, she fought one and put a lot of theiving bastards in the penitentary. She is unsophistocated, which really is just saying that someone can still tell the difference between right and wrong and makes no appologies about it. If Alaskan oil money couldn't buy her, then she can't be bought.

I like Sarah Paline because she doesn't believe the government should be a provider health care, homes, food, cars or jobs. She does not believe that the government should take money away from those who earn it and give it to those who do not. She believes that the government should encourage prosperity, not penalize it; that the government should guarantee equal opportunity for prosperity, not equal access to the fruits of another's prosperity.

I like Sara Palin because no one has to tell her that an American President bows to no man. She knows that we fought a war about that in 1776. She understands that if you need gasoline, then you need oil. and if you need oil, then you have to drill for it, and if you need gasoline you have to refine the oil.

The thing that I think I like the most about Sarah Palin is that she scares the bejesus out of the Democrat nut case leftwingers and the hack corp of the Republican Party. Just mentioning her name drives both into a frenzy. They are absolutely horrified of her because the values they have seen in how she conducts her life are those of middle America. They are the values of farmers, and small bussiness owners, of carpenters, and truck drivers, doctors and country lawyers. They aren't phoney photo op values, but Norman Rockwell values of a good, and honest people doing good and honest things. Those values resonate with the real world.

The Left wingnutts are always better at identifying conservative leaders than the Republicans are, and both are scared to death. The Republican hacks know that the truth of her words and the validity of her record will peel the bark off of many of them and set the rest afire. Because she is a bona fide middle American, she is being assailed by windnutts and hacks. They fear her because they see her for what she is: honest.

They say she has no practical foreign policy experience. That may be a good thing. Though President Obama doesn't have any either, Biden and Hillary have 'mountains' of it, and they still can't send a clear message to any body on anything. I think GovernorPalin will do ok. She has no military experiance either, though I suspect her hunting experience has taught her that if a bear is charging at her, it is a good idea to shoot the bear before he is able to actually attack her. Unlike President Obama, Biden and Hillary, she'll understand that radical Islam is a charging bear who has already attacked more than once. She'll shoot the bear, and won't appologize for it. She has no experience with 'universal' health care, but she has enough sense to understand that America simply doesn't want it. She has never run a car company, but then again, our country never owned one before. She has never run banks or a mortage industry, but again, our country has never owned them before either. That was the Soviet Union. I would suspect she'll find a way to get these back where they belong in private sector. Because she sprang from local politics, I suspect that she respects local preferences and state sovorignity more than any president in recent memory. She may be our best hope to limit the dead hand of federal power.


I like Sarah Palin because she's angry about the same things that I am angry about. I like Sarah Palin because her idea of government help isn't a handout or a hold-up....oops...I mean a 'tax'. Her idea of government help is to get government off our backs, off our minds and out of our pockets. It's not government's responsibility to spend my earnings, it's mine. It's my government's responsibility to defend the boarders. Que Pasa Amigo?

I like Sarah Palin, and I think Thomas Jefferson would have liked her, too. I know she likes Thomas Jefferson, and Madison, and Washington. I believe in the United States Constitution and I like Sarah Palin because she believes in the United States Constitution, too.

What do you believe in?

Nine Out of Ten Morons Agree

Recently a friend commented to me that I ought to be glad that my Social Security dollars were not invested in the stock market as some had advocated a few years ago. After the meltdown of the last year or so, IRA and other investments are worth a lot less today than they were 18 months ago. As the econonmy continutes to crap out, and as President Obama struggles to get things moving again, the market will continue to be a very 'risky' place to put our retirement funds, my friend maintains.

Though tragic, at that moment, I realized that my friend is a moron.

Though my investments have lost roughly a third of their value, I still have them. I own them . They are mine. With Social Security, I have nothing but a 'deal' with the government. The government promised that they would take money from me each payday, which they did. In exchange, starting at 65 years of age, Social Security would send me a stipend for the rest of my natural life. Hmmm....not a bad deal...especially with life expectancies approaching 80 years.

Ah, but there is a catch in the giddy-up. Social Security will be broke in just a few years. This isn't news. We have known that it was acturiarly unsound for several decades. The weasles we send to Washington have not had the guts to fix it, thought they did figure out that if they give Social Security benefits to illegal aliens who 'follow a path' to citizenship, they will have a whole new class of paupers dependant on govenrment handouts for their existance.

After a lifetime of being coerced into contributing to and relying on a government promise of a retirement fund, the benefits side of the promise is about to be changed. Unless you are one of the thousands of illegal aliens who have never contributed to the program but whom the government wants to grant Social Security benefits to, the benefits side of that government 'promise' are about to change for the worse. The reality is that those who have contributed the most to this program are about to become the ones who recieve the least.

My 401k is invested in the America. I contribute to it every month. No matter whether the market is going up, or going down, I put a percentage of my income each month into my retirement accounts. I put my faith in free enterprise and capitalism. Through diversification and prudence, I protect my funds as a shepherd protects his flock, and I pray that President Obama doesn't nationalize anything have an interest in. ( It's really just a fancy way of saying the government stole a business.)

My friend laughed when I told him that I had lost roughly a third of my portfolio's value.

I asked him what he had. He said he had Barak Obama and Social Security.

I laughed.

You can't fix stupid.

The Obama Imperial Court

In the next few days, the Senate will confirm a racist, social engineer to become a member of the United States Supreme Court. Though she denied it during her sworn testimony before the Senate, the trail of her history on the Appeals Court betray her to be an 'activist judge'.

What is an 'Activist Judge'?

For starters, an activist judge is much smarter than you or I. They know what is best, and see it as their responsibity to use the power of their role and position to achieve their personal aims, regardless of what the Framers of the Constitution actually intended, regardless of laws that Congress passes, and regardless of what the people have voted on.

An activist judge is a judge who can find rights and meanings in the Consititution and laws that are not actually written there, and one who can fail to find rights, limitations and meanings that are cenumerated and learly spelled out.

An activist judge is a judge who 'makes law' from the bench. The activist judge is an un-elected super judical legislative functionary who believes that they are enpowered to shape society as they see fit; a super-judicial legislative functionary to solve our problems for us and who is appointed for life.

A activist judge is a judge who doesn't see their mission as the persuit of equal justice all. A activist judge is an advocate for a point of view, and will use their position to advance that point of view regardless of the provisions of the Constitution and the actions Congress.

Now, we have an Activist Judge testifying in Confirmation hearings and about to become member of the United States Supreme Court.

The most damning thing about the Sotomoyor confirmation hearings is that she is lying under oath. It is obvious to everyone on both sides of the isle in the Senate. The good judge knows that her her radical judical history would, in the minds of most Americans, disqualify her for the Supreme Court. Honest and fair minded people want justice based on the facts and the law, and not on their skin color or ethnicity. Judge Sotomoyor knows this, otherwise she would not have denied racist and manipulative past in her testimony.

Her racist comment about a 'wise latina woman' making better decisions than a 'white man' would have disqualified anyone else. Anyone else would be run out of Washington, and probably lose their Appelate Court position. Can you imagine if a white man had said that a 'white man' would make better decisions that a 'wise latina woman'? Several years ago, Senator Trent Lott said nice things to a 90 year old retiring collegue, and was stripped of his Senate post by jackels screaming 'racist'. Where are the jackels now? They are about to confirm Judge Sotomoyor.

Call your Senator. Tell them to oppose this person. This woman isn't really a judge. A judge applies the law. She is an activist. Her interest isn't justice. It's advancing her particular ideology. Is that what we expect from a Supreme Court Judge, or even a municipal judge?

Apparently, justice depends on the color of your skin.

Welcome to The Imperial Court in Obama's World.

Independence Day

As we celebrate our indendence, let us consider the men who won it for us, and how the did it.

For almost a 1000 years, every rebellion against an English king had failed.
The Rebels were hunted down.
They were brought to London.

They were hanged, drawn and quarted, and beheaded. Some were burned at the stake. Their families were dispossesed and often exiled to the far corners of the empire.

Not some of them. All of them.

The men who signed our Declaration of Independence were not malcontents. They were wealthy, successful men. They were Planters, and Brewers, publishers, and merchants. They were men who knew what happens to Traitors to the British Crown.

And they signed anyway. They signed their own death warrants.

They were more than just a bunch of rich white guys pissed at the king.

They were men longing to be free. In declaring their independence, our founding fathers were doing more than declaring one state free from another state. It was Man thowing off shackels and freeing himself from royal subjecation. Free men throwing off the royal boot of the English Crown. American sovorignity resides in the individual.

In 1775, with English troops all around, and arrest a very real possibility, Patrick Henry stood up in a church in Virginia and loudly said "Give me liberty, or give me Death."

As our slithering, smothering Obamacracy slowly wraps it's coils around us, who has the balls to say that now?

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.
