Is America at war, or not?
Posted: November 16, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Are we at war – or not?

For if we are at war, why is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed headed for trial in federal court in the Southern District of New York? Why is he entitled to a presumption of innocence and all of the constitutional protections of a U.S. citizen?

*** end quote ***

And does anyone believe that the AG made this decision without consulting the President? If that’s the case, then he should be fired for overstepping. If it’s not the case, then he should be fired for lying and deceiving the People.

RANT: Blow up the Senate (not literally)

Grassroots: Blow up the Senate (not literally)

Grassroots — on the undemocratic nature of the U.S. Senate — is on The Progressive Populist Web site.

Posted by Hank Kalet at 10:18 PM  

*** begin quote ***

It’s time to dismantle the United States Senate and replace it with a more democratic institution.

*** end quote ***

Democracy is mob rule and the anathema to the concept of the republic.

The change from the States selecting Senators allowed the Federal Gooferment to create all sorts of unfunded mandates. We need the tempering of the passions of the day.

You may just get your wish of a more “democratic” state. When secession makes all the states go in their own direction, then you can run your state anyway you want. But, you won’t have the big federal gooferment to loot the productive class for your schemes. You won’t even have the rich to loot in your own state as even more producers vote with their feet.

Freedom and liberty is man’s natural state, because that’s the Plan. No one can drive a man harder than he can himself.

You’ll be like the aristocrats of France that can’t see the revolution coming.

The Dead Old White Guys were pretty smart, but they knew the problems of “democracy”. Too bad we can’t see as well.

RANT: Remember the Blue Hippo?

Saturday, November 14, 2009

http://yro.slashdot.org/story/09/11/14/0035257/BlueHippo-Scam-Collected-15M-Only-Shipped-One-PC?from=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+slashdot%2FeqWf+%28Slashdot%3A+Slashdot%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

BlueHippo Scam Collected $15M, Only Shipped One PC

from Slashdot by Soulskill

An anonymous reader writes “Turns out that those BlueHippo commercials advertising financing for computers and other electronics for anybody, regardless of credit, were way more sleazy than you thought. The FTC is bringing this fraud down, but not too soon. ‘According to the FTC, the company’s brazen business model continued without interruption after the 2008 settlement. “In fact, in the year following entry of this Court’s Stipulated Final Judgment and Order for a Permanent Injunction, BlueHippo financed — at most — a single computer to the over 35,000 consumers who placed orders for computers that could be financed during the period,’ the FTC told a court (PDF) yesterday. In the meantime, the company took in a cool $15 million in payments from consumers, who don’t appear to have received anything in return.'”

# – # – #

Why am I not surprised? And, how long did it take to get this fraud shutdown by the “regulators”? And who’s going to jail for the 15M$ stolen from poor people? After all, who has “regardless of credit”. And, the hardware they pictured looked obsolete to me.

RANT: Using the wrong tactics

Surprised by Disaster
by Fred Reed

*** begin quote ***

America’s problem is not that its generals prepare for the last war, but that they don’t prepare for it, and then fight it again the same way.

*** end quote ***

Too true!

I happened to watch “Gods and Generals” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gods_and_Generals_%28film%29 And, like “The Patriot”, it demonstrates the stupidity of the leadership. The strategy and tactics developed for war in Europe made for needless casualties in the American Revolution and the Second War of Independence aka the War of Northern Aggression aka the “Civil War”.

How many casualties are we taking in Iraq and AfPak?

Argh!

RANT: Just like our depression!

What really caused the Great Depression
Posted: November 04, 2009
Walter E. Williams

*** begin quote ***

Professor Hanke says that the lesson to be drawn from business cycle history is that, if left to run their natural course, severe downturns are followed by rapid snapbacks. The 1921 recession is a good example where wholesale prices, industrial production and manufacturing employment fell by 30 percent or more and reached their low in mid-1921. There was little government intervention, at least by today’s standards, and the economy recovered naturally; and by early 1922, it had fully recovered and the nation was off to the Roaring Twenties.

*** end quote ***

So what are the bozos in DC doing?

Yeah, raising taxes, spending us into debt, and making “rules”.

Argh!

Imagine a world without America
Barry Farber

*** begin quote ***

America took the lead and founded the United Nations, fully allowing for America to be out-voted as that great “Parliament of Man” became a VIP lounge for dictators, aggressors, oppressors, thugs, thieves, sexual predators and other varieties of truly awful people.

*** end quote ***

No good deed goes unpunished.

Time to send that packing! We should get out now.

RANT: The Obama don’t get the flu shot?

Sunday, November 1, 2009

“President Obama just declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency. First the swine flu’s a big threat, then it’s not, then it is. Make up your mind. This thing’s like the Brett Favre of infectious diseases.”

— Jimmy Fallon

# – # – #

Note that not only do the Obama children NOT go to public skrool. They don’t get the flu shot either.

Do as I say; not as I do?

And, by the way, did anyone notice that the gooferment, which wants to run “health care”, didn’t get the vaccines done in time for the season. If you did that at one of the evil drug companies, what would be your title? Yeah, unemployed!

RANT: Dial 911 and die!

Friday, October 30, 2009

http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/10/arrest_is_made_in_killing_of_p.html

*** begin quote ***

The pastor, Edward Hinds, had called police from his cell phone around 5 p.m. Thursday, authorities told CNN, but the phone went dead. A 911 operator called back, and the janitor, Jose Feliciano, allegedly picked up the phone, saying there was no need to send an officer, then hung up. Police could not trace the call, and no officer was sent.

*** end quote ***

Yes, I guess it was too much trouble for the doughnut eaters to go “protect and serve”. Wonder if the mayor, police commissioner, or one of the other komisars would get that response? Nah, I’m sure they have armed security details. Paid for by the taxpayers, of course.

Argh!

RANT: Roach ruins a photo op for the gooferment skool!

Sixth-graders give dining diva Rachael Ray’s lunch menu passing marks
BY Mark Morales and Corky Siemaszko
DAILY NEWS WRITERS
Tuesday, October 27th 2009, 4:00 AM

*** begin quote ***

Dining diva Rachael Ray unveiled her healthy new lunch for students at Public School 89 in Tribeca on Monday before a gaggle of reporters – and one brazen cockroach.

*** end quote ***

Speechless.

OK, not really.

The roach will survive a nuclear war. But, the liberals think that they don’t exist.

Why should the State be “educating” (aka indoctrinating) children?

Parents should be in charge; not overpaid bureaucrats.

Bet home schoolers don’t have this problem.

Finally, it’s sad when we allow the gooferment to run our lives.

RANT: Why wait for a flawed concept?

Where’s the health-care bill?
Posted: October 21, 2009
Joseph Farah is founder, editor and CEO of WND

*** begin quote ***

After all, who can object to a bill that hasn’t yet been written? When someone objects to provisions of the legislation, you can always say, “That’s not in the bill.” And, of course, you would be right. Nothing’s in the bill. The bill doesn’t exist. It will be written after approval.

*** end quote ***

It’s all well and good to say “wait till we see something”, but by then it will be too late. And, I think this may be the watershed event, like during the Vietnam war, that brings the Fat Old White People, (as opposed to the Dead Old White Guys), out to the streets in revolt. The gooferment has steadily eroded our rights, like the DOWG’s feared, and may have actually stepped over the Rubicon. Add to their criminal actions with subprime, GM / Chrysler, takeover the banks, and one and on. Maybe The People will rise up and smite them. Maybe I’m a “tin foil hat”, but I think it’s going to get messy. Perhaps, even worse. That’s why I don’t think we can wait to see the bill. The bill really doesn’t matter. It’s the whole concept that is flawed.
