It’s not like they had something better to do on the taxpayers’ dime.

You read day after day where some gremlin abuses their own children and the people who are tasked with looking into this and stopping it routinely drop the ball.  Then you read the same day where a child is removed from the parents because of some B/S trumped up charge.  It seems to me that government agency’s from the Fed’s on down don’t do a very good job at any task they have taken over and where child welfare is concerned they don’t have a clue.

A New “Contract With America”

Why have a ‘new contract with America’ when the ‘old contract with America’ was violated before the ink was dry on the contract?  Words are words and actions are actions, less B/S words from politicians and real actions would be a refreshing change, but don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Obama’s Rev. Wright Fiasco

Quote:  America owes a debt of gratitude to Rev. Wright–for being his egotistic, arrogant, extremist self in public now–instead of quietly retiring.

You have to say that Wright actually did something right.  He exposed the ‘Stealth Muzzie Obama’ for what he is, an arrogant, self-serving, elitist, liar who will stick at nothing in his quest for power.  I’m betting Obama wishes he had sold his wacko minster down the river before this fecal matter ever hit the fan.

How Do We Respond to the Budget Crisis?

We dither, raise old taxes, find new things to tax and blame the shortfall on a wide variety of cause and effect.  At no time do we zero in on the real culprits such as:  ‘Bloated payrolls, kickbacks, hiring unqualified people for the job, creating new positrons with inflated salaries for those who do nothing, and  worst of all having government involved in things that are no business of government.’  It’s really very simple you have X amount of dollars coming in and you have Y amount of things you want to spend those dollars on.  If  X does not equal Y then you better start cutting Y.  That’s the way it works for millions of families and that’s the way it should work for government.

NOW HIRING: Federal, state and local governments employing new workers at fastest pace in 6 years…

And how many of those who are being hired are qualified for the positions they will hold?  I submit without even knowing any of those hired that less than 50% of those hired are qualified for their positions and even those qualified will do as little as possible.  And we wonder why there is always a shortfall in the budget.

NOW — A FERTILIZER SHORTAGE…  

This is an easy fix.  Just follow the campaign trail for POTUS in 2008 and in Washington D.C.  Plenty of B/S laying around in those places and more being produced by the minute.

Rev. Wright ‘Didn’t Intend To Hurt Barack. He Loves Barack’…

Uh oh this doesn’t sound good for the ‘Stealth Muzzie’, as it sounds like a ‘vote of confidence’ and that’s what a losing football coach gets right before he gets fired.

FULL LIST: Ten Most Wanted Nazi War Criminals

WWII has been over nearly 63 years and all these ‘war criminals’ are all very old men if they are still alive.  I know there is no statute of limitations on murder, but are resources wasted in an attempt to find old men who will soon be dead of old age anyway?  Sometimes its just better to move on and get over it than it is to doggedly pursue something that if achieved won’t matter one iota in the long run.

Obama says he’s outraged by former pastor’s comments

Obama says he’s outraged by former pastor’s comments

From the article:  WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Barack Obama angrily denounced his former pastor for “divisive and destructive” remarks on race, seeking to divorce himself from the incendiary speaker and a fury that threatens to engulf his front-running Democratic presidential campaign.

Let me take just a minute here to review this so called ‘outrage’ by the Left’s pick to next ‘walk on water’.  Obama has known Wright for some 20 years so he should know him well.  So you mean to tell me that Wright has never made ‘divisive and destructive’ remarks on race before just recently?

I’m sorry I don’t buy that B/S because leopards don’t change their spots and people are pretty much the same now as they were 20 years on race, politics, or any damn thing else for that matter.  The ‘Stealth Muzzie’ is attempting to do some quick ‘damage control’, but you’d have to be a card carrying moron not to see though his slick stage managed B/S!

Just do this with Obama and pick your lesser of two evils from the sorry left-overs that are also running for POTUS in 2008.

These men died before I was born defending America.  They were young men when they died so they are forever young men who gave the last true measure of a warrior for this nation.  I raise my glass to such men who died lonely deaths in a far corner of the world in a battle long forgotten.  Absent comrades!

Hurricane Expert: School Silencing Me Over Global-Warming Views

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353023,00.html

 

*From the article:

“A pioneering expert on hurricane forecasting says he may soon lose funding due to his skepticism about man-made global warming, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle.

Dr. William Gray, who once said that pro-global warming scientists are “brainwashing our children,” claims that Colorado State University will no longer promote his yearly North Atlantic hurricane forecasts due to his controversial views.”

If you don’t walk in lock-step with the ‘watermelons’ then you will drummed out of the bugle corp.

Immigration marches return with messages aimed at voters

Here is my message for those who are in ‘my country’ illegally and for those who support having them here.  “If you aren’t here legally then you are a criminal.  If you give aid and comfort for those who are here illegally then you are also a criminal.  We’re going to deport the illegals and lock up the supporters!”

$17B IN 3 MONTHS; RECORD PROFITS FOR OIL COMPANIES

And the US Congress sits there on their fat a$$e$ and does nothing. but nod their head like those silly ‘glass birds’ that used to be all the rage.  I must have gotten my wires crossed some where along the line.  I was told when I was still in grade school that the days of the ‘robber barons’ were long over with!  Well slap my fore head and call me dopey, but $17 billion in three months sure sounds like ‘robber barons’ too me!

I’m thinking its time for a national walk-out.  Just no one got to work, no one spend any money unless you really have to and most of all no one buy any gas for a month.  The seems to be only one way to get a mules attention and that’s to hit him square between the horns with an ax handle!!!

Sharpton blasts Obama grandstanding ‘in front of white people’…

I thought this dip$hit was dead!  Then I looked at the photo that accompanies this article and I still think he’s dead.

North Carolina GOP wants apology from McCain

North Carolina GOP wants apology from McCain


Once in a while a really good rant just falls into your lap and when I got up this morning and checked my email, there was one waiting for me to blast off on, here it is…

from: Richard Viguerie
7:54 am (2 hours ago)
to: texasfred@texasfred.comdate: Apr 29, 2008 7:54 AM

subject: Petition: Sen. McCain, Apologize to N.C. Republicans

mailed-by: titlesarticles.com

Dear Fellow Conservative,
It’s time for John McCain to apologize to North Carolina Republicans.

Please sign our petition, at ConservativeHQ.com, calling on him to do so. (The petition is at http://conservativehq.com/active-petitions/mccain-wright-obama/.)As you probably know, Senator McCain attacked the North Carolina GOP as “out of touch with reality and with the Republican Party” for running an ad criticizing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Senator Barack Obama, along with two gubernatorial candidates who endorsed Obama. He suggested that their ad was out of place in the “party of Abraham Lincoln.”As Rush Limbaugh noted this afternoon, McCain was essentially calling North Carolina Republicans racist.

Yet even Obama admitted, yesterday on “Fox News Sunday,” that his ties to Wright are a legitimate issue. And, after Obama gave him permission, McCain chose to criticize the Democratic frontrunner’s connection with Wright.

Time after time, Senator McCain has criticized Republicans and conservatives for their legitimate criticism of Democrats and liberals. It seems that he has leapt at every opportunity to apologize for the behavior of his own party.

Isn’t it time he apologized to us? At least, he should apologize to the North Carolina Republicans whom he smeared as “out of touch with reality” and out of place in the party of Lincoln.

Of course, he won’t apologize unless there is an avalanche of demands that he do so.

That’s why it’s so important that you sign our petition, at ConservativeHQ.com (http://conservativehq.com/active-petitions/mccain-wright-obama/) and that you pass this e-mail along to your friends and others who might agree with you.If John McCain keeps alienating himself from the people whose support he needs the most, soon there won’t be anyone left to alienate.Please join us in calling on Senator McCain to apologize to Republicans of North Carolina.

Sincerely,
Richard A. Viguerie

And you expect McLame to actually apologize?? Many of us have tried to tell you, for quite some time, McLame is one of the Dems, he’s as much a Dem as Hillary is…

Suck it up, you’re Repubs, take it like a man, you guys put him there, DEAL WITH IT!!

And that my friends is exactly how I feel…Why would anyone want McCain to make a LAME apology?? One that he doesn’t mean?? One that would be nothing more than a less than sincere attempt at pandering to Republicans who are so desperate in their fear that they would support this RINO, this Dem in disguise??And so everyone understands, I have NO problem with the North Carolina GOP attacking Obama or his Rev. Wright, I took a really good shot at them myself yesterday, but the immaturity of the GOP leadership simply astounds me…

They want an apology?? From McCain?? For being a RINO?? For showing his true self?? For making it crystal clear that he is NOT what he claims to be??

John McCain has proven to me, and many real conservatives that we were right in our estimation of him, and to all those Republicans that are supporting him as if he were the 2nd coming of Christ, sit on it, you’re the ones that put him there, we had several very good REAL conservatives running early on and the Republicans did what they have done for a long time now, they fell for the party line of BS and have settled for the lesser of the evils, except in this case, I’m not too sure that McCain IS the lesser…

Proudly stolen from TexFreds Blog and I agree with Fred’s assessment of McCain.  IMO, McCain is less or a poisonous snake than Obama in the same way a rattlesnake is less poisonous than a cobra.  However I don’t see any difference in the poison McCain spouts and what Hillary spouts.  Like I’ve said a 100 times before, “We are well and truly screwed in 2008 for candidates of POTUS.  None of them are worth a damn and its the fault of the American voter that we have let things get so far out of hand that you have to try to figure out ‘who is less evil’ in order to vote for POTUS in 2008.  Sad state of affairs folks, sad state of affairs.”

The Federal Government Has Overruled the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution

Quote:  Walter Williams, perhaps one of the clearest thinkers on the stage today, wrote:         “One response to federal encroachment is for state governments to declare federal laws that have no constitutional authority null and void, and refuse to enforce them.  While the U.S. Constitution provides no specific provision for nullification, the case for nullification is found in the nature of compacts and agreements.  Our constitution represents a compact between the states and the federal government.  As with any compact, one party does not have a monopoly over its interpretation, nor can one party change it without the consent of the other.  Additionally, no one has a moral obligation to obey unconstitutional laws. That’s not to say there isn’t a compelling case for obedience to unconstitutional laws: the brutal force of the federal government to coerce obedience.”        Walter Williams continues:  “In violation of both the letter and spirit, the federal government imposes unconstitutional and costly mandates covering the gamut from education and land usage to how much water can be used to flush toilets.  I wonder when a governor and his state legislature will summon the courage to declare some of these federal laws null and void, and refuse to enforce them.”Each time there is a ‘power vacuum’ something will rush into to fill that vacuum and for far to long the citizens of the United States of America have allowed the Fed’s to fill that vacuum.  A clear message should be sent to the Fed’s, “Back off now!  You have no right to do what is being done and if its not stopped measures will be taken to stop it, by what ever means is necessary!”

MAG: Bill Clinton ‘doesn’t like Obama’…

Finally something I and Bill Clinton agree on!  (If Obama was a $20 dollar bill I wouldn’t spend him for fear of being arrested for passing ‘counterfeit currency’)

Rev. Wright: ‘I describe the conditions in this country’…

Y’all hear something?  I do its the B/S meter hitting the peg!

Iranian official warns against importing Barbie dolls…

Lord no don’t import ‘Barbie’ into Iran!  I have it on good authority that ‘Barbie’ is an ‘undercover agent’ for the ‘Company’.  Rumor has it ‘Barbie’ has 52 confirmed ‘kills’ to her credit.

PAPER: Gas could go to $10/gal…

WTF!  Just how does anyone expect people to pay these inflated prices.  I never thought I’d say this, but I think its time to ‘nationalize’ the oil industry in the US and put the oil barons out of business.

Well since I’m not on this list its obvious the list is worthless.

Supreme Court upholds photo ID law for voters in Indiana… Could Hurt Obama…

Well if blacks and Progressives don’t have pocket photo I.D. they can always take their ‘wanted posters’ from the post offices when they go to vote.  That should cover the photo I.D. part rather well.

Never mess with granny

Armed only with a screwdriver, a 95-year-old woman in a wheel chair kept a burglar from breaking into her home by repeatedly stabbing his hand.

Go granny, go!

Daley: Chicago police to get assault rifles

Here we are, 11 years after the ‘North Hollywood Shootout’ and Chi-town finally might be getting the word.  The prissy little 9 mm’s that everyone is in love with because women cops/troops can fire then without breaking a nail just don’t cut the mustard!

Stars and Stripes and Scoundrels: Dems Use Flag as Fig Leaf

Considering the size of ‘Dem balls’ these must be ‘flag pins’.

Calderon’s Latest U.S. Visit: More Macho Mexican Meddling

The Mex Presidents of late seem to believe that anything that goes on in the US that is of an internal US nature is some business of Mexico’s and we need Mexico’s advice on how to run our nation.  You have only to look at Mexico to see that the Mexicans can’t even run their own house, let alone ours.  Mexico should just STFU and tend to their own business which they seem to have never had a handle on in the entire history of Mexico.  (Too many El Jefe’s and no Indians is the problem in Mexico as well as Central & South America)

Bell Supporters Launch Massive Protests, Call For Shutting Down NYC…

Far as I’m concerned NYC can be locked down and the key thrown away.  I’ve been to NYC once in my life and I intend to never go back and the same goes for Philly, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore, and D.C.  I’m a country boy and I never met a big city that I liked or wanted to live in.  (One of the main reasons I don’t like the cities I just listed is because of crap like cops firing nearly a 100 rounds to put two guys down and after they were found not guilty others acting like the buffoons they are)

Guantánamo drives prisoners insane, lawyers say…

Good deal! Let’s have more of this and televise it.  (Pass the popcorn)

Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity: Posioning Democracy with Vitriolic Hate

I see it the other way and of course I’m right!  The Left from the ‘Stealth Muzzie’ right down to ‘buttone-down lib’s’ of the Northeast and the Left-coast are the one’s with the vitriolic hatred.  I’ve never in my life met a Liberal/Lefty/Socialist/Progressive who wasn’t a humorless board-up-their-ass ’droid’ who sees insults no matter what is said and a conspiracy theory behind ever tree.

Liberals and Their False Idols

Quote:  There are major differences between liberals and conservatives, and that’s why I never know what people such as Barack Obama are talking about when they speak of bringing us all together.  And I suspect that Jeremiah Wright’s surrogate son doesn’t know, either.

Tis said that a Conservative sees perfection just around the last corner turned, while Liberals see perfection coming on the next corner turned.  IMO both Conservatives & Liberals are both wrong on this score.  There is no perfection and never will be, as humans can not produce anything approaching perfection.  That said, I still believe in the old adage, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!”

Save the Earth. Yawn!

Quote:  I’ve been hearing the same song and dance about the need to “Save the Earth” for years, and yet the earth is still here.  Save the Earth?  From what, I say?  I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of a few who see the earth as a sphere in peril.

Check out this link Armageddon Online - Yellowstone Park is a Super Volcano - an …  and see if tossing out plastic bags and the internal combustion engine are the real threats to life on earth or is the earth itself the real threat to life on earth.

Dick Morris: Obama-ite

Quote:  Dick Morris characterized Hillary Rodham Clinton’s big win in the Pennsylvania Democrat presidential primary as “too little, too late” and “doesn’t mean anything” while lamenting that Hillary “refuses to die.”

Morris like so many is enamored of Obama for reasons that I can only speculate about.  I speculate that Morris like so many others detests Hillary Clinton so much he supports the ‘Stealth Muzzie’ in the manner of  ‘cutting off his nose to spite his face’.

COUNTRYWIDE CEO Made $132M In Pay, Stock Sale…

We all know that no one is worth this amount of money and football players or baseball players aren’t worth $30 million a year.  So why does this continue?  Because we don’t have the balls to say, “Hell no we aren’t going to pay anyone that much money for anything because no one is worth that much!”

Sheehan files to take on Pelosi…

Being billed as, ‘Mud Fence Ugly Challenges Pinch Faced Hadrian’.

World Bank backs anti-Aids experiment; Tanzanians to be paid to avoid unsafe sex…

I have a little advice for those dimwits who are wasting money on this silly scheme.  “People are going to have sex when the mood strikes them and ’safe’ or ‘paid not too’ they will still have sex.  That’s the way it works in the ‘real world!”   I have no idea how it works in the ‘ivory tower world’.
