Report: One-fourth of overseas votes go uncounted

May 13, 3:07 AM (ET)

By JIM ABRAMS

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON (AP) – One out of every four ballots requested by military personnel and other Americans living overseas for the 2008 election may have gone uncounted, according to findings being released at a Senate hearing Wednesday.

*** end quote ***

Guess every vote doesn’t count. AND, they were probably voting for the “wrong candidate” any way.

Sheeple!

Propaganda and fraud.

That’s how dictatorships happen! And, we have a “two party” one now.

LIBERTY: Rights are inalienable

Thursday, May 14, 2009

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124223286506515765.html

News Alert from The Wall Street Journal

*** begin quote ***

The Obama administration is weighing plans to detain some terror suspects on U.S. soil — indefinitely and without trial — as part of a plan to retool military commission trials that were conducted for prisoners held in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The proposal being floated with members of Congress is another indication of President Barack Obama’s struggles to establish his counter-terrorism policies, balancing security concerns against attempts to alter Bush-administration practices he has harshly criticized.

*** end quote ***

Another campaign issue / promise up in smoke.

Don’t real;y care about the lying.

BUT!

THe Bush Admininstration had Gitmo to keep the prisoners from getting Fifth Amendment and other rights.t us, next it

(Using my Judge Judy law degree and reading the Constitution, I think rights are inalienable regardless where on the Earth the government is operating. But my opinion matters not.)

The Obama Adminsitration seems to have a new reading of the Fifth and where it applies.

That scares me!

As Pastor Martin Niemîller taught us, next it woon’t apply to us as they herd us to the camps.

Remember my previous blogs. Just take out the first one and the they will soon run out of thugs.

San Francisco Muni begins to enforce imaginary no-photos policy
Posted by Cory Doctorow, May 7, 2009 6:45 PM

*** begin quote ***

The blogger at What I’m Seeing is a prolific photographer of San Francisco’s rapid transit system, and thus has fallen afoul of its imaginary no-photos policy, with a threatened arrest:

What happened to the First Amendment?

The rapid transit is part of the gooferment.

No doubt about that!

GAMBLING: State of NJ takes your old uncashed tickets?

Friday, May 8, 2009

There as been a silent money grab in AC by Corzine. I hadn’t heard anything about it, but there was a sign at the Borgata about a new law on casino tickets. I didn’t really read it or really understand it, but they now have new tickets from the slot machines with a blue edge. As I understand it, uncashed tickets that are year old are no longer cashable. I can guess who gets the money. Heard about it. Those tickets are usually for pennies I’d guess. Take a ticket with pennies on it to say a quarter machine and it spits out a ticket for the pennies. People usually leave them in the tray when they go bust. It’s not even profitable for the homeless to collect them. But nothing’s beneath the politicians.

RANT: The gooferment is a gang; some people are just thugs

New Jersey Church Replaces Pro-Life Signs Defaced in Pro-Abortion Vandalism
by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
May 5, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Milltown, NJ (LifeNews.com) — A New Jersey Catholic church has replaced the large pro-life signs that adorn a grassy area in front of the church building. The pro-life sign in a lot across from Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in the central part of the state was defaced by pro-abortion vandals in December.

*** end quote ***

I know that sign. A simple statement of fact.

Hard to imagine that vandal appreciates the First Amendment.

And, for the “free choice” that was sprayed on it, how is it “free” when I am force to pay for the gooferment’s pro-abortion policies?

It ain’t free. I’m forced to pay for it.

So explain to me, how did I incur this obligation?

I know I have to pay protection money to the various gangs in DC, Trenton, and elsewhere. But how is it “moral”?

Amtraking Automakers
By J. Robert Smith

*** begin quote ***

The odds that the federal government will ever get its hooks out of Chrysler or General Motors are slim to none, regardless what President Obama says. Why? In one word, Amtrak.

*** end quote ***

Doesn’t anyone else see that this is fascism?

Government Motors and the banks becoming like the post office!

Argh!

LIBERTY: Schiff on the Chrysler bankruptcy

Monday, May 4, 2009

Peter Schiff on the Chrysler bankruptcy.

In a seven minute video, he makes some excellent points: turing Chrysler into the Post Office or Amtrak while trying to keep the jobs. Unfortunately, those resource tied up in Chrysler must be freed up. And, the government’s bankruptcy court will be at the end of it all the government’s bankruptcy court.

I agree that we have to stop the government from guarantying things — car warranties is another unwarranted intrusion.

POLITICAL: What can the gooferment do for us?

Monday, May 4, 2009

http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_08/mladjenovic042309.html

At The Heart Of America’s Economic Problems
Paul Mladjenovic

*** begin quote ***

   1. Put an immediate freeze on government spending at all levels.

   2. Let failed enterprises (banks, auto companies, etc.) go out of business.

   3. Make it much easier to start a business.

   4. Put severe restrictions on money supply growth.

   5. Cut taxes at the federal, state and local level.

*** end quote ***
If the gooferment wanted to jump start the economy, all they have to do is get out of the way.
Read the entire article for a great set of thoughts about our problems.

RANT: The problem is NOT poor people crossing the border for a better life.

Severin suspended for comments about Mexican immigrants
By David Abel
Globe Staff / May 1, 2009

*** begin quote ***

Jay Severin, the fiery right wing talk show host on Boston’s WTKK-FM radio station, was suspended yesterday after calling Mexican immigrants “criminaliens,” “primitives,” “leeches,” and exporters of “women with mustaches and VD,” among other incendiary comments.
*** end quote ***

Interesting.
Jay filled in on a NYC show once upon a time. I thought he was a reasoned voice.
As usual, this one, and many others on the radio, have missed the problem.
The problem is NOT poor people crossing the border for a better life.
(Is that what the Statue of Liberty proclaims? The phrase “huddled masses yearning to be free” comes to mind. Maybe we SHOULD put that proverbial garbage bag over the Lady with the Lamp? We obviously don’t believe in the ethic that she represents. Any more! At one time Americans did. But not now!)
The problem is welfare!
Americans have gotten fat and lazy! On welfare.
Cut out the welfare and you cut out one of the problems. Only folks who want to work hard, assimilate, and make a good life for themselves will come.
We also need to address the psuedo “war on (some) drugs”. If we decriminalize ALL drugs, then the Columbian Drug Gangs and the various gangs — including large segments of the gang euphemistically called “the police” will have to find other productive work. The Pharmacy Department at WalMart will be hiring. Instead of shoot outs over territory and children taking rat poison when they get high, we will focus our attention on curing sick people. If they want to be cured.
Yes, America and Americans have to change. Adapt to the new realities.
Immigrants in the pre-welfare state days had hard lives. But everyone was better off for it.
As Heinlein wrote: “TANSTAFL”!
“There ain’t no such thing as free lunch!”
So let’s stop bitching and get to work solving real problems!

Company warned officials of flu 18 days before alert was issued
By Les Blumenthal | McClatchy Newspapers

*** begin quote ***

WASHINGTON — A Washington state biosurveillance firm raised the first warning about a possible outbreak of swine flu in Mexico more than two weeks before the World Health Organization offered its initial alert about a public health emergency of international concern.

Anyone care to argue that gooferment is useless!
