Obama the anti-envronmetalist

I'm sure you all remember that the Obama EPA recently shut down the only operating lead smelter in the United States causing a lot of us Second Amendment supporters to raise concerns about back door gun control. But the Law of Unintended Consequences, a cousin of Karma, raises it's ugly little head again. This is going to raise the price of the lead-acid batteries that are used by those who want to have their own photo-voltaic power back up on their homes or RVs. This, making it more difficult for clean, solar energy to be readily available, coupled with Obama's recent edict that, for the next thirty years, its okay to chop eagles into avian sushi, makes a person ask the question, "Why does Obama hate the environment?"

Voluntary Collection Agent Shot And Injured In Attempt To Gather Funds For Re-Distribution.

I'm sure that there will soon be a cry from our friends on 'The Left' that an "Obama Youth Protection Act" is needed to protect those individuals imbued with the spirit of collectivism and who are thwarted in their attempts to privately redistribute wealth.

The family of a suspect who was shot by an armed customer while attempting to rob a Family Dollar store in Mobile, Alabama earlier this month told Fox 10 that the Good Samaritan should not have gotten involved and “just left the store.” It was Tuesday, Nov. 12, when the armed citizen, whose identity has not been revealed, noticed 18-year-old Adric White wearing a mask and pointing a gun at employees towards the front of the store. “He had the gun to his head. He had him on his knees,” the man said. “I drew my gun on him and I said ‘Hey, don’t move.’ At that point he swung around and before he had a chance to aim the gun at me, I fired.”

Fascism in the Obama administration (An old post that I hadn't published)

I found this while browsing the net, be sure to read the entire thing.

Obama Taking Us On Path To Fascism

By HERB DENENBERG, For The Bulletin

Monday, October 26, 2009

During the last presidential campaign, I said there was a light whiff of fascism coming from the Obama campaign. That was based on its habit of improperly trying to repress criticism of every kind. Example: A Chicago radio station was planning on airing a critic of President Obama, who was publicizing the candidate’s close association with terrorist Bill Ayres. The Obama campaign organized a call-in campaign to flood the station with calls and prevent the critic from being heard. Anther example: The Obama campaign warned that any critics in Missouri would be subjected to prosecution there if they voiced criticism that was not true. There was a "Barack Obama Truth Squad” made up of prosecutors and sheriffs to keep critics in line, promising rebuttals and prosecution in appropriate cases (NewsBusters, September 29, 2008).

Now that whiff has turned into a strong stench of fascism, as the Obama Administration uses the vast resources of the federal government to squelch criticism and silence and intimidate critics. Here are some of the recent examples of that:

• The administration has organized a concerted campaign to marginalize, demonize, de-legitimize and destroy Fox Cable News simply because it, virtually alone among broadcast outlets, originates strong criticism of the Obama Administration and asks tough questions about what it is trying to do. Obama spokesmen, including Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel and Senior Advisor David Axelrod have said, in effect, that Fox is just an arm of the Republican Party and is not a legitimate news organization. Obama spokesmen say the station has a perspective. There are several answers to this. First, its news programs (as opposed to its opinion and commentary programs featuring the likes of Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck) pre- sent both sides of issues in a fair and balanced manner, and that has been confirmed by the survey of a respected research organization.

• When a health insurance company that marketed Medicare policies tried to warn its policyholders that Obamacare would hurt seniors’ insurance programs, the Department of Health and Human Services issued on a gag order on such communications with policyholders. It also said that the warning was misleading, which it was not. The gag order was since revoked, but its initial promulgation tells you something about the mentality of the White House and its attitude toward criticism.

The Electoral College

I've been hearing (reading on the blogs and in the news) that the electoral college needs to be replaced; maybe. but it doesn't need to go to a direct popular vote because as Jawa Report put it..it would become a vote of urban vs rural....all a candidate has to do is to appeal to the population centers of the country and he's elected.  NO, what the problem is, is the assignment of electors to the vote for the president.  The cry we've always heard is one man...one vote (how well does that work out for you with voter fraud?)  Here's my idea...One state, One vote...the candidate running for president must win the majority of votes in each of  26 states (a simple majority of the states plus one) to be elected. The size, the population of the state doesn't matter....candidates must campaign in each and every state to secure that state's approval...the people will also feel that their vote counts and be more apt to get out and vote on election day.

The coming revolution

After Obama: The Coming Reign of Incredibly Small Government

By Andrew K. Boyle

A national election always triggers an onslaught of political books claiming that the next several decades will belong to the party which just swept into power.  These books are laughably wrong, usually being discarded and discredited by the next election night.  This election is no different, and books are being finished right now which explain why events in history will be marked henceforth as Before Obama and After Obama.  There are other books being edited currently which will be the obituary of the GOP, claiming that Barack Obama killed the great elephant on his way back from killing Osama bin Laden.  The byproducts of both responses to the 2012 election will in short order be discarded, but for reasons far outside politics.

The future is dramatically conservative, in a very uncomfortable and dark way.  This conservative future is inevitable -- not because of political events, but because of societal trajectory.  If political events are man taking flight, the conservative future is characteristically similar to gravity. 

----------------------------

The future is one of incredibly small government -- not in the virtuous, self-reliant Republic sort of way, but in the tragic "government crashes into the January fiscal cliff and explodes" sort of way.  The grand programs instituted under the guise of moral superiority will abruptly end amongst the shrapnel of audacious government meeting the rocky cliffs of nature's reality.  If entitlements and social programs are tinkered with to conform to budget realities, it is cheap and easy to condemn them as mean or racist or some such thing within the political arena.  If these programs stop abruptly because they have been purposefully grown to ridiculously unsustainable levels, those who refused to scale back well-intentioned programs when offered the chance will be responsible for the primitive violence engulfing our cities.  The new and less noble beasts prowling the once-peaceful streets will be the creation of insane spending and decades of dishonest and vain politics.

I shouldn't be saying this, I worry about my grand children and great grand children to come, but I really hope the coming revolution is a "hot one". As Thomas Jefferson wrote in a letter to James Madison, " A Little Rebellion Now and Then Is A Good Thing." I think it's time...

On Tax increases

I've  been reading a lot  from those inside the beltway Republican office holders, power brokers and"Conservative Media " types who say that the Republicans now in office should just go along with the up coming Obama tax increases. NO Way should any Republican ever, EVER vote for an Obama tax increase...either vote against it or abstain..let the Democrats OWN ALL TAX INCREASES.

Catch your breath grab a bite to eat and a drink.

OK, I get it already. The Democrats won Tuesday’s election, I won’t say “fair and square” (I’m not convinced of that), but  decisively.

Me neither..I'm convinced there was so much voter fraud going on that there was no way Mitt could have won....Time to sharpen our swords...clean our guns (metaphorically speaking..right?) and prepare ourselves for 2014..take back the Senate.

........ the liberals are feeling their oats and think now is the  time to recapture their media monopoly. (Expect legislation controlling conservative speech to be introduced very soon.)

It's funny the left are always the ones talking about banned books and forbidden speech, yet they are the ones always wanting to silence conservatives. To quote William F. Buckley Jr.,  “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”.....there's that word offended again..why are they so easy to offend?

It’s always darkest before the dawn, as the saying goes. Let the barbarians dance on the walls and have their moment. This fight isn’t over.

The time is coming to "Pay The Piper"

New contraction

I had considered starting to call the progressives 'Proggies' but then I remember my days in the Army..I think 'Pogey' is a much more appropriate and descriptive contraction

Libs are libs..maybe, maybe not

Your liberal friends aren’t as liberal as they think they are. Most--not all--actually share what you believe about freedom, responsibility, and limited government. They just will not bring themselves to acknowledge their values openly, or vote for them. But they put those same conservative values into practice every day, whether they admit it or not.

I don't know about this one, Joel Pollack hasn't met my friends and some relatives.

  It is well past time for conservatives--especially those of us in blue states and cities--to start professing the founding values, to “get in their faces,” as Obama said, and make the political personal. It’s the only way back.

The thing I noticed; as I said before I was posting on Facebook, our progressive friends and relatives contacted my wife and tried to start arguments between us...

People have said we need a new Reagan yes we do, but we also need a new William F. Buckley Jr. to  pin back the ears of the progies.

Back to blogging again

Well, wasn't this presidential election more fun the we've had back in 2008? We conservative HAVE to build a bigger and better alternative media...we have to be able to counter the lies, the hypocrisy and the fifth column activities that the current "Waste Stream Media"  or "Ministry of Truth" provides to the Democrat/Socialist/Progressive party that is represented by an ass.

I was micro-blogging on Facebook...but since election night I have been vilified by friends and relatives and  un-friended  by some.  No loss!  I think the big thing was when I compared Liberals/Progressives in general to Muslim extremists; I made comments and they took offense to them....I guess I'm not supposed to post anything that they might find offensive. Do you think the Libs are taking lessons from the Muslims or vice versa?  I think I'm going to find some cartoons that are very offensive to liberals, post them here and line to them and see if I can provoke a reaction to them...Maybe they will riot in front of my house bearing signs calling out for my beheading..I really think we need to push them..HARD!!

Governor Palin, Please Keep Up The Pressure

"I don’t know who will win the Republican nomination (and I doubt it will be Gingrich) but it’ll be someone who’s willing to stand up and fight. And that’s who’ll beat Obama, too. Nobody’s going to accommodate their way into the White House."-- Glenn Reynolds. InstaPundit

Sarah IS the only one  who is daily exposing Obama's flaws and foibles.

I've had some discussions with relatives lately regarding my seeing conspiracies; I replied, that we all see the same dots, that not all the dots are numbered and how we connect them to complete the picture depends upon our life experiences. My life experiences are defined by my career as a fire fighter and the single question of trust I apply to people.  If I were in a burning building and it started to collapse around me can I trust that person, or persons, on the outside,to do their damnedest to get into the building and and try and get me out. Sadly, most politicians that I see today don't measure up to this standard, they are only in it for themselves and whatever fame and glory that they think they will receive..I wouldn't trust most politicians to walk my dog.

So, Friends, Relatives, Countrymen; lend me your long floppy ears, until I complete my Grand Unified Conspiracy Theory (GUCT) I will continue to post little bits that pique my interest and fit into the overall jig saw puzzle (with just a tiny bit of trimming).

A New Hound

We recently adopted a new basset hound.... not a pure bred this time he is mixed with something. But Ralph Munrow has made him self at home here and we hope he lives a long time.

Is This Why?

Bruce at Gay Patriot today repeated his seven question, "Is the U.S in a low grade civil war?" in response to Thomas Sowell's, "Is U.S. now on  slippery slope to tyranny?"

The following questions were asked:

1. There is a clear distinction between those who want a more authoritarian/socialist nation versus those who want to preserve the capitalist/democratic America we live in.
2. There is a clear distinction between those who understand the principles and guidance and importance of the representative legislative process versus those who hide behind the Constitution as an excuse to create laws from the bench.
3. There is a clear distinction between those who favor strong national security vs. those who want a borderless, global government.
4. There is a clear distinction between those who hold US Constitutional principles dear (1st, 2nd, 10th Amendments in particular) and those who are ignorant or want to subvert those principles.
5. There is a clear distinction between those who want to maintain a sensible fiscal policy versus those statists in Washington who spend our tax money with reckless abandon.
6. There is a clear distinction between those who see themselves as Americans first versus those who want to segregate themselves into communities and ignore the national identity.
7. Despite his promises, surveys show that Americans have elected one of the most divisive Presidents since Richard Nixon.

I wonder if Obama does not want to turn this into a "Hot" civil war using the invasion by illegal aliens and the ARMED invasion by "Narco-Terrorists" from Mexico??

From Wizbang, Invasion U.S.A:

Heavily-armed foreign nationals invade the US, and what is the federal government's response?
Signs.
Signs that warn Americans to stay out of American parkland because of the danger of armed foreign nationals within.
Not surprisingly, the signs are printed on white. White, the color of surrender.
And these aren't poor people, just looking to support their families. These aren't migrants doing the jobs Americans won't do. These aren't refugees looking to escape poverty and violence. These are armed invaders. This is reconquista.
(Break)
The federal government has, in essence, declared a very large stretch of American territory as too dangerous for Americans to visit, because of foreign invaders. Why not just formally declare it conquered territory, and keep civilians out?

Now we learn from Fox News that Mexican gangs have set up look-out posts in the United States;

Mexican drug cartels have set up shop on American soil, maintaining lookout bases in strategic locations in the hills of southern Arizona from which their scouts can monitor every move made by law enforcement officials, federal agents tell Fox News.

 Are the invading drug cartels going to be Obama's "Army", his crisis event  to enable him to increase his and his czars control over the people of the United States??  What bargains and agreements were reached with Mexican President Calderon?  Is this why he is so anxious to over turn the Arizona Immigration Bill SB1070?

Don't blame me for this, I voted for Gov. Sarah Palin and that "Old Fart".

November 2nd, 2010..Take Out The Trash!!

Conspiracy Wacko Weekly

Well it's too windy for the "black helicopters" to be circling my house today, the black SUVs that normally circle my block are over across town annoying someone else so I thought I'd post a few thoughts. 

April was a hard month for the energy producers here in the USA; there's now been three separate coal mine incidents and the oil platform exploded, burnt and sunk in the Gulf of Mexico. I remember Obama and Biden both saying that we were going to have to cut back on our energy use, VP Biden specifically said the coal industry was going to have to be put out of business.  There are rumors floating on the net that the old platform was sabotaged by a "Greenie" or a disgruntled worker. 

I'm going to wait and see before make up my mind.  If there are more incidents at energy facilities, say a problem at a nuclear power plant or at a refinery I may have a lot more to say.

Obama a Crypto-Muslim?

I hadn't gone along too much with the Obama is a Muslim meme. But this letter I received in my email made me want to rethink it,,,, anyway, here it is;

Subject: SHEP SMITH ON OBAMA

  Sheppard Smith, Fox News.
  “If you check President Obama's last trip over-seas, his wife left just
  after their visit to France . She has yet to accompany him to any Arab
  country. Think about it. Why is Michelle returning to the states when
  ‘official’ trips to foreign countries generally include the First Lady.”


  Here’s one thought on the matter…

  While in a Blockbuster renting videos I came across a video called
  "Obama". There were two men standing next to me and we talked about
  President Obama. These guys were Arabs, so I asked them why they thought
  Michele Obama headed home following the President’s recent visit to France
  instead of traveling on to Saudi Arabia and Turkey with her husband. They
  told me she could not go to Saudi Arabia , Turkey or Iraq . I said “Why
  not,(?) Laura Bush went to Saudi Arabia , Turkey and Dubai ." They said
  that Obama is a Muslim and therefore he is not allowed to bring his wife
  into countries that adhere to Sharia Law. Two points of interest here: 1)
  I thought it interesting that two American Arabs at Blockbuster believe
  that our President is a Muslim, 2) who follows a strict Islamic creed.
  They also said that's the reason he bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. It
  was a signal to the Muslim world, acknowledging his religion.


  For further consideration, here is a response from Dr. Jim Murk, a Middle
  Eastern Scholar and expert on Islam. This is his explanation of what the
  Arab American’s were saying.

  "An orthodox Muslim man would never take his wife on a politically
  oriented trip to any nation which practices Sharia law, particularly Saudi
  Arabia where the Wahhabi sect is dominant. This is true and it is why
  Obama left Michelle in Europe . She will stay home when he visits Arab
  countries. He knows Muslim protocol; this includes, bowing to the Saudi
  King. Obama is regarded as a Muslim in the Arab world, because he was born
  to a Muslim father; he acknowledged his Muslim faith with George
  Stephanopoulus. Note that he downplays his involvement with Christianity,
  by not publicly joining a Christian church in D.C. and occasionally
  attending the chapel for services at Camp David . He also played down the
  fact that America is a Christian country and said, unbelievably, that it
  was one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, which is nonsense. He
  has publicly taken the side of the Palestinians in the conflict with
  Israel and he ignored the National Day of Prayer, something no other
  President has ever done. He is bad news! He conceals his true faith to the
  detriment of the American people." --- Jim Murk, Doctor of Philosophy in
  Middle Eastern Culture & Religion.

  ACTIONS speak louder than words.


  Another interesting item regarding Sharia Law….

  Why has Barack Hussein Obama insisted that the U.S. Attorney General hold
  the trials of the 911 Muslim Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common
  Criminals instead of as Terrorists who attacked the United States of
  America ?

  If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in  Military Tribunals, convicted and
  sentenced to death, by LAW, Barack Hussein Obama, as President of the
  United States , would be required to sign their Death Warrants. He would
  not be required to sign the death warrants if they are sentenced to death
  by a Civilian Court . Recently, Muslim Jihadist, Army Major Hassan
  slaughtered non-Muslim, soldiers at Ft. Hood , Texas rather than go to
  Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of
  fellow Muslims. He stated that Muslims ‘could not and should not kill
  fellow Muslims.’

  Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama's insistence on civilian trials, to
  make sure he doesn't have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim
  Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States , not sign the
  death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and
  murdered over 3,000 U. S. Citizens on 9/11? Could it be that he is
  FORBIDDEN by his RELIGION to authorize the execution of Muslims?

  Think about that! Open your eyes, ears and mind to who the President is,
  how he behaves and what he is doing.

Rememberances

This is a very powerful video I received. We Americans seem to try and forget our history as soon as we can; the Ukrainians don't.  Perhaps we  hurry and try to forget those sacrifices made by others..by our ancestors.

This video shows the winner of "Ukraine's Got  Talent",  Kseniya Simonova, 24,  drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II.  Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.
 
The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears and she won the top prize of about $130,000.00 

She begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting holding hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then warplanes appear and the happy scene is obliterated. 
 
It is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby arrives and the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss Simonova throws the sand into chaos from which a young woman's face appears. 
 
She quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and sad, before the image turns into a monument to an Unknown Soldier. 

This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as if the viewer is looking out on the monument from within a house. 
 
In the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a man standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass, saying goodbye. 

The Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted in one in four of the population being killed with eight to 11 million deaths out of a population of 42 million. 

Kseniya Simonova says:  
"I find it difficult enough to create art using paper and pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and fingers is beyond me. The art, especially when the war is used as the subject matter, even brings some audience members to tears. And there's surely no bigger compliment."
