Stop The Planet.......I Want To Get Off!!

Today's Headlines: Scotland frees terminally ill Lockerbie bomber

EDINBURGH, Scotland — Scotland freed the terminally ill Lockerbie bomber on compassionate grounds Thursday, letting the Libyan go home to die despite American pleas to show no mercy for the man responsible for the 1988 attack that killed 270 people.
The White House declared it "deeply" regretted the Scottish decision as Abdel Baset al-Megrahi left Greenock Prison and flew to Libya on an Airbus dispatched to Glasgow Airport, still insisting he was innocent.
Scotland's justice secretary said freeing the bomber was an expression of the Scottish people's humanity but U.S. family members of Lockerbie victims expressed outrage.

Now, I have my own opinion about this, and it is that whoever it was that released this guy is a FRIGGIN IDIOT! This guy is DYING, he has NOTHING TO LOSE! Do you honestly think that he is not capable of climbing aboard another airline, or strapping a bomb to himself and finding his way into a crowded street and BLOWING HIMSELF UP? Again, he has NOTHING TO LOSE, and some bleeding heart liberals have set this guy free upon the world to strike again!
I'm not the brightest guy on the planet, but I can sure spot stupidity when I see it! All I hope is that if there is anyone else who dies at the hands of the guy, that they will be relations of, or those who actually made the idiotic decision to let him go! Heaven help us, we are living in a world of brainless twits! Stop the planet.....I want to get off!!!

Regarding the comments of Katie Couric on those attending Town Hall Meetings....

Todays Headline: Katie Couric Blames Fear & Ignorance for Town Hall Protests.

Let me see if I can shed some light on why I think people should be angry and are very angry about what is happening to America...

The founding fathers warned against the "welfare state" where the government endeavors to take care of everyone from the cradle to the grave. Thomas Jefferson wrote: "If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy." Confiscatory taxation and deficit spending is out of control, and you and I all know that it is immoral to pass debt from one generation to the next... and yet, every generation has struggled to pay off the national debt....until now! We are somehow in denial that this money has to be paid back....the debt will not just go away, and the current administration is spending money faster than any of us can imagine! People like Katie Couric and the likes of those who believe they are owed something for nothing are sucking the life out of this country at a rabid pace. What business does Couric have even opening her mouth about the health care bill anyway....you and I know that there is not a chance in a million that she will ever become a part of that system. She considers herself to be one of the "elite" of this country, therefore, she does not follow the standard rules or live by what the middle or low income class people have to live by. She is a fraud, and a hypocrite.

The founding fathers did everything in their power to make socialism and communism unconstitutional when writing the Constitution and the Bill of Rights....so why now do we have a president who is pursuing this with all his might and undermining the Constitution at his every step? Mad? Hell yes people are mad, and they have every reason to be!
The democrats are trying to establish Ruler's Law. Authority under Ruler's Law is nearly always established by force, violence, and conquest. The people are not equal, but are divided into classes and are all looked upon as "subjects." The trust of the governmental power is from the top down, not from the people upward. The people lose their unalienable rights, or in other words, the "king giveth and the King taketh away." Government becomes the whims of men, not by the fixed rule of law which the people need in order to govern their affairs with confidence, thus eventually interpreting the laws to it's benefit, enforcing them and thus maintaining tyrannical control over the people. Under Rulers Law, the problems are always solved by issuing more edicts or laws, setting up more bureaus, harassing the people with more regulators, and charging the people for these services by continually adding to their burden of taxes, and freedom is never looked upon as a viable solution to anything. The long history of Ruler's Law is one of blood and terror ultimately causing perpetual poverty, excessive taxation, regulation and the constant existence of misery.
We don't want this and people are figuring out that this is the direction the liberals want to take this country in. That is why the people are fighting back, and those who think this is just a mob of fear or ignorance such as Couric's comments about those going into town hall meethings and trying to stop a single issue like the health care bill....well, I suggest that you had better think again!!

Obama's First Six Months of Accomplishments?

Have you been keeping track:

1. Offended the Queen of England.
2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia.
3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega.
4. Kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek.
5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia.
6. Sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras.
7. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions while they are building their nuclear weapons.
8. Gave away billions to AIG also without pre-conditions.
9. Expanded the bailouts.
10. Insulted everyone who has ever loved a Special Olympian.
11. Doubled our national debt.
12. Announced the termination of our new missile defense system the day after North Korea launched an ICBM.
13. Released information on U.S. intelligence gathering despite urgings of his own CIA director and the prior four CIA directors.
14. Accepted without comment that five of his cabinet members cheated on their taxes and two other nominees withdrew after they couldn't take the heat.
15. Appointed a Homeland Security Chief who identified military veterans and abortion opponents as "dangers to the nation."
16. Ordered that the word "terrorism" no longer be used and instead refers to such acts as "man made disasters."
17. Circled the globe to publicly apologize for America 's world leadership.
18. Told the Mexican president that the violence in their country was because of us.
19. Politicized the census by moving it into the White House from the Department of Commerce.
20. Appointed as Attorney General the man who orchestrated the forced removal and expulsion to Cuba of a 9-year-old whose mother died trying to bring him to freedom in the United States.
21. Salutes as heroes three Navy SEALS who took down three terrorists who threatened one American life and the next day announces members of the Bush administration may stand trial for "torturing" three 9/11 terrorists by pouring water up their noses.
22. Low altitude photo shoot of Air Force One over New York City that frightened thousands of New Yorkers, at a cost of $328,835.00...good job at cutting spending wouldn't you say?
23. Sent his National Defense Advisor to Europe to assure them that the US will no longer treat Israel in a special manner and they might be on their own with the Muslims.
24. Praised Jimmy Carter's trip to Gaza where he sided with terrorist Hamas against Israel.
25. Nationalized General Motors and Chrysler while turning shareholder control over to the unions and freezing out retired investors who owned their bonds. Committed unlimited taxpayer billions in the process.
26. Passed a huge energy tax in the House that will make American industry even less competitive while costing homeowners thousands per year.
27. Announced nationalized health care "reform" that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn't.
Bloomberg: Daschle says, "Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them," while former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have "a duty to die." If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.
28. Has appointed over 45 Czars who answer to no one, their authority comes directly from Obama, and remain as uncontrolled as the IRS.
29. Appointed Anthony "Van" Jones, who freely admits he’s a proud San Francisco Communist with an arrest record, as the Green Jobs Czar. We now have a documented Communist in Washington, presently only one we know of, unless you add Obama to the list!
30. Claimed out loud in a Town Hall Meeting that AARP fully supports his health care bill, and AARP immediately released a statement saying that they in no way support any of Obamas health care bill and have given him no endorsement whatsoever. This was not the first lie Obama has been caught in, there have been many. Obama is a very delusional man, as was another man who came to power some years ago, you might remember him..... Adolph Hitler.

Here is the most up-to-date listing of Czars and their information:
1. Afghanistan-Pakistan (Af-Pak) Czar: Richard HolbrookeActual Title: US Envoy to Pakistan and AfghanistanPresidential Appointment Established: 2009
Duties:
He believes in the power of negotiations to bring peace and prosperity to an increasingly fractured world. But he says diplomacy will only succeed if the U.S. pursues robust relationships with allies as well as with enemies, especially in places like the Middle East. He has also opposed unilateral action by U.S. officials;
Afghanistan - Holbrooke will help Obama execute his Afghanistan plan. Obama plans to bolster American forces in Afghanistan, increase aid to Pakistan, and set strict standards for measuring progress in fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Holbrooke was one of the architects of the plan, though he has maintained a relatively low profile so far.“The exit strategy,” he told the New York Times, “includes governance, corruption, but above all, and this is the single most difficult aspect of what we are talking about today, it requires dealing with Western Pakistan;”
H.I.V. and AIDS - Holbrooke has called the rapid spread of H.I.V. and AIDS “the greatest problem we face today,” saying that the disease has destabilized governments and economies across the world.
While ambassador to the U.N., Holbrooke organized the Security Council’s first session on the diseases, a move that helped convince world leaders that AIDS was a security as well as a health problem. He has visited ten African countries and served as chief executive officer of the Global Business Council on H.I.V. and AIDS since 2000;
United Nations Reform - Holbrooke has said the U.N. should bolster its peace-keeping abilities and increase the number of staff dedicated to that effort. He has also called on the U.N. to reduce the size of the Department of Information, the organization’s press conference; and
Genocide Prevention - Holbrooke is a strong proponent of using multilateral military force to stem violence throughout the world. He has called the U.S. policy in Rwanda a terrible mistake and believes Americans should have engaged sooner.
He led the Security Council delegation to Congo in 1999 after fighting broke out in the country. It was one of the riskiest trips ever taken by U.N. officials. He also supported efforts to enforce sanctions on Angolan rebels in 2000.

Chavez/Socialism/Obama/America

Here is something that you might not have heard: Hugo Chavez said this past week that the hundreds of radio stations his government plans to seize for 'operating illegally' could be turned over to the Venezuelans who share his Socialist vision.

Does this sound familiar?

Maybe.... 1949 United States introduction of the fairness doctrine bill?

Are you seeing a pattern here? Chavez is taking over everything, nationalizing it by declaring that the entities are "operating illegally" in order to continue his march of socialism....the same direction Obama's America is headed, claiming that the conservative talk show hosts are making false claims, creating negativity against the administration, and thus are wanting to re-instate the fairness doctrine to shut them up!! Actually these hard working talk show folks are making it very tough for the lying, cheating, greedy, power hungry, back stabbing politicians who want nothing more than to undermine the Constitution and take away Americas freedoms!

Quotes From Ronald Regan

'Here's my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.'

'The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'

'The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.'

'Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.'

'I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U..S. Congress.'

'The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.'

'Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.'

'The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.'

'It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.'

'Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it'

'Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.'

'No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.'

'If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.'

Joe Legal vs. Jose Illegal

You have 2 families... "Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted. "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Joe Legal... $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week = $52,000 per year.
Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00.
Jose Illegal... $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week = $31,200.00 per year.
Jose Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays for Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage ... $1000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.
Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money to be eligible for Food Stamps or Welfare so Joe Legal pays for food... $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $7,231.00.
Jose Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000.00 per month = $12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal is now in the hole -<$4,769.00>.
Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy, which entirely pays his rent of $500.00 per month = $6,000.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays and gets a part time job after work to make ends meet.
Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family.
Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school.
Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches while Jose Illegal's children get free government sponsored lunches.
Joe Legal's children go home after school.
Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program which, again, is provided free of charge.
Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe Legal paid for them and Jose Illegal did not pay.

And I am the one questioned about my racial adjenda because I am against illegals getting into this country on a free pass.....
Did this tick you off as much as it did me??? I hope so!!

How Socialism Works

Here is the best analogy I have heard to date that will explain to you Obama's plan to spread the wealth. If you don't understand what this is telling you.....you are just too stupid and will never get it anyway!!

A teacher wants to help his class understand the subject he will be teaching the fall term at a local university about Socialism in a way that will give them a first hand understanding of what it is. He devises his plan and begins teaching his class as normal day in and day out about the concept of Socialism and it's effects on society. As the class progresses it becomes time for their first test. The tests are handed out, students completed the tests, handed them in and within a couple of days the teacher had them graded and returned them to the students. He now is ready to put his teaching idea into play. He announces to the class that he has a different way of grading in his classes, and that he works on a very special curve, different to what they might be used to. He continued that he is in the practice of taking all the scores from the tests, adding them up and averaging them out and that each student in the class would receive. In this case a B- was the average and so that is what everyone will receive as a grade on their test. Now, the students who studied and got an A on the test were immediately put out and protested the teachers moronic grading tactics. Of course the students who didn't study and got less than passing grades who now received a B- courtesy of all those who studied were perfectly happy to just ride along on the coat tails of he students who studied and get a passing grade and saying that the grading curve was a fair way to allow everyone in the class a chance to pass. Come on, what could be easier and fairer they exclaimed!!
The next time a test came along, of course those who did not study the first time around also did not study this time and thus got the same less than passing marks. The students who studied and got A's the first time around refused to study very hard this time thus the tests averaged out to only a C- but the lazy students were very happy to have a passing grade once again. By the third test, no one studied as the good students were not going to allow the lazy good for nothings who wanted a free ride to get a passing grade at their expense, thus, everyone in the class ended up with a failing grade on the test. Immediately there were accusations flying in all directions with the lazy students sharply accusing the students who put forth the necessary effort previously to get everyone a passing grade of ruining their grades and their lives thus putting them in jeopardy of failing the class. Because of what the teacher did, he put all the burden on those who were willing to work hard to get good grades allowing those who were lazy to get a free ride. At this point the teacher explained to the students that this had been part of his experiment in teaching them the workings of Socialism, and that the students who were responsible for the passing grades of the entire class would receive a full passing grade in the class, those who did not study for any of the tests relying strictly upon those would study to carry them through on a free pass would fail the class.

This explains exactly what Obama and our corrupt politicians have in store for the hard working people of United States, putting the entire burden of taking care of those who are lazy and unwilling to be a part of society putting forth the effort to work and provide for themselves and their families. Remember what that woman said on national TV after Obama won the election when asked how she felt about him getting elected? (I am so happy cause Obama is going to put free gas in my car and pay my mortgage, I helped him now he's going to help me!)Socialism is about taking what you have and giving it to those who aren't willing to get it for themselves. Obama's agenda will create exactly what the teacher created in his class, a class war. The government has for too long now allowed welfare to take the place of responsibility, it is time we change all this, it is time that we clean house and put this country back on the track to greatness, and it will never happen with the likes of Obama or his progressive liberal associates holding the reins of power.

Irresponsible Comment

Unfortunately, I missed the introduction to who this member is and which branch of the government he comes from, but what he says is what is important at this moment in time. I will continue trying to figure out his name, but his accent gave me the indication that he is Hispanic, to what degree I am not sure......none the less, here is what he stood up in front of his constituents and said:

"I love these members who say, read the bill! What good is reading the bill that's 1000 pages and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you've read the bill?"

Ok, that was a totally irresponsible comment made by a totally irresponsible member of our government. People who are not willing to take this type of job seriously have no business being elected into office. Your job, sir, is to read everything that is being put before you and the rest of your three ring circus, you don't just have someone drop 1000 pages of mumbo jumbo on your desk and then call for a vote, what is in your brain dead head? Number one here folks is that we need term limits on every elected official in this country and I am for one term, number two is that it needs to be part time at best, volunteer positions as they were originally set up to be, number three is that anyone in office is just like anyone else in this country, and they should have to live by exactly the same rules that you and I do. No special retirement, no special health care, no special privileges, no jets to fly you to and from work, no open balance check book to do with whatever you want, no kickbacks from companies or individuals or to companies or individuals that helped get you elected, you live by exactly the same means the rest of the American people do, and if you can't do that, there needs to be accountability here and you need to be out of your job RIGHT NOW! America is finally starting to stand up, and you fraudulent bastards had better get ready, because there is going to be Hell to pay!!

The SS is coming to a neighborhood near you!

There are some very angry citizens in the country today over a blog post that is asking supporters (of Obama) to send in any "Fishy" info they receive through rumors, chain emails and casual conversation to a white house email address! Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) stated that the Obama administration is compiling and enemies list and has urged Obama to provide congress with more details on what the white house plans to do with anyone reported for "Fishy" speech. Other representatives have accused the Obama administration of acting Orwellian.

Let me enlighten you about the meaning of Orwellian if you are not familiar with the term:
Orwellian describes the situation, idea, or societal condition that George Orwell identified as being destructive to the welfare of a free society. It connotes an attitude and a policy of control by propaganda, surveillance, misinformation, denial of truth, and manipulation of the past, including the "unperson" — a person whose past existence is expunged from the public record and memory, practiced by modern repressive governments.

I remember when President Bush made the statement that he was always getting allot of fan mail, some not so pleasant, but in this country you are guaranteed the right to say what is on your mind, even if it is about the President of the United States!! Well folks, Mr. Stupid is way over the line with this one. Our first amendment guarantees us the freedom of speech in this country, which means that if I want say out loud that Obama is a perfidious, haughty, savage, disdainful, stupid, slothful, inhospitable, inhuman jackass, I am free to do so, and Mr. Stupid and his team of corrupt cronies can pucker up and kiss my ..........

Hugo Barack Chavez Obama and Nationalization: Better Pay Attention!

These comments are from Hugo Chavez in January 2007:

As Venezuela embarked on another six years under Hugo Chavez, the president announced plans to nationalize power and telecommunications companies and make other bold changes to increase state control as he promised a more radical push toward socialism.
Chavez, who will be sworn in Wednesday to a third term that runs until 2013, also said he wanted a constitutional amendment to strip the Central Bank of its autonomy and would soon ask the National Assembly, solidly controlled by his allies, to approve "a set of revolutionary laws" by presidential decree.
"We're moving toward a socialist republic of Venezuela, and that requires a deep reform of our national constitution," Chavez said in a televised address after swearing in his new Cabinet on Monday. "We're heading toward socialism, and nothing and no one can prevent it."
The nationalization will likely affect Electricidad de Caracas, owned by Arlington, Virginia-based AES Corp., and C.A. Nacional Telefonos de Venezuela, known as CANTV, the country's largest publicly traded company and the only Venezuelan listing on the New York Stock Exchange. Verizon Communications Inc. has a 28.5 percent interest in CANTV. Makes me want to run out and switch my phone service to Verizon!!

Chavez said lucrative oil projects in the Orinoco River basin involving foreign oil companies should be under national ownership. He did not spell out whether foreign investors would be compensated or simply expropriated.

He has decided to deepen his revolution, which from my point of view aims to look a lot like Castro's Cuba, and is citing the communist ideals of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin.

The nation's newspapaer, El Nacional, which is very critical of Chavez, said in an editorial that the president "surprised all Venezuelans" with his moves. The paper said there is a clear need for a national debate on the seizing of private companies. Gee, do you think???

The United States remains the top buyer of Venezuelan oil, which provides Chavez with billions of dollars for his social programs. Why in the hell are we still buying oil from this jerk?????

Chavez threatened last August to nationalize CANTV, a Caracas-based former state firm that was privatized in 1991, unless it fully complied with a court ruling and adjusted its pension payments to current minimum-wage levels. Can you say BLACKMAIL??

Read more: Today, August 4th, 2009, Hugo Chavez, who is moving forward uncontrolled in his race for socialism has taken control of the 2 largest coffee companies making accusations of illegal activities, which were denied by both companies, citing his intentions of nationalizing them and stated that he will continue to nationalize all large companies for the good of the nation....or should he say for the betterment of himself and his cronies. Once nationlization starts, there is no stopping it once it gets a full head of steam....unless....the problem that is creating it is eliminated!

Does this somehow all sound familiar of the last 6 months here America??? Obama is rushing, and I mean rushing to nationalize everything he can get his hands on. Thus far Chrysler & GM, but he wants to nationalize the banks, the health care system and what else?? Oh yes, and large companies! Just read the health care bill and see what his plans are for you and your children's futures....if your old, he wants you to die, if you have children, he wants to take them over, he wants to play God, Does this sound like someone else who made these types of power grabs back in 1930's Germany?? Does this sound to you like the lunatic mind, ideas and ravings of a wanna be Dictator??? Sure does to me!

A response to posters on another blog who were degrading American gun owners and Canadians who support American gun owners rights.

A couple of "conscientious gun haters" threw out some nasty comments about American gun owners and "stupid gay Canadians" on another blog.....here was the response they got....I thought you might like it!

Here's the way I see it....this country, America, has been taken over by a group of self serving fascist (and I know what a true fascist is, because I read and study) clowns who's intentions are that of the great Nazi leader, Adolf Hitler. The people who really care about the United States are trying to, in a positive non violent way, reverse the damage that has been inflicted upon us by those believing that the agenda of a get even black president would put them all on the road to getting free gas, having their mortgages paid and no longer having to ever work again. This is exactly the same means that Hitler used to convince the people of Germany to let him lead them into slaughter. False promises, the promises of being lazy and allowing the government to do everything for you. Yes, the likes of Gates, Wright, Jackson, Obama and millions of other black racists in the United States are looking for payback from those of us living here now, and who had nothing to do with their ancestors enslavement. The race card was one of Hitlers first and most devious ploys in gaining control....and for those of color in this country who believe that this type of behavior is wrong, then the others of color will label you as an "Uncle Tom", and then claim that they are not racist, but that you are!
And what next???? Well,I find it interesting how many liberals believe, as Hitler and other Marxist, Communist thinking individuals, that the inferior races of color should be exterminated, yet the folks of color in this country still vote the likes of those types of thinking people into office and support them. You foolishly support people like Senator Byrd, a bonafide member of the KKK!! Hell, that's like having my best friend patting me on the back, telling me I'm inferior and that he wants my truck, as he is cutting my throat. Of course if you go by what Chris Mathews says, and I quote "Blacks were in this country long before the white man" So, Mr. Chris "Liberal" Mathews, if that's the case then it should be painfully obvious to you and every other clown who knows nothing about history that it must have been someone else who brought the blacks into America under the term, "Slavery!" Pull your head out Chris! Slavery was what Africa did to boost their economy, what little they had, by selling people as slaves for money and usable items. America does not have the corner on bringing in African slaves, slave trade had been going on for hundreds of years before America even knew what Africa was.
So, here it is, I have said for many many years that America would find itself in a racial war, and at the rate things are going, it can't be too far off, unless something is done and done now to correct it. But for those of you, who in your total stupidness, think that Canadians are stupid or "gay", as our resident posting jackass Bill Gluckman so commented, just remember that you heard me say this! If things in the U.S. get out of hand, and if or when we end up in a major war here there will be only one country who will come to our aid with support in bringing our America back to the way she was, only one....and it will be Canada. Frankly, I like Canadians, some of my best friends are Canadian, and they have exactly the same issues with the current administration that I have, and I would be proud to have them beside me in a time of crisis, and for those of you out there who think guns are wrong and should be banned and that gun owners are stupid....well, just remember, Michael, Bill and Mr. name unknown, if or when the shooting starts, if you are stupid enough to come to my door for help to save your pompous ass because you always thought guns were stupid, the only thing your gonna get from me and others like me will weigh about 2 ounces and will be sitting right between your eyes! c3rain, I thank you for the Jefferson quote, and as Dwight D. Eisenhower stated: History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or timid. How true, how true!!

Body Language

The body language is most revealing. Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious? This was mearly a ploy for Obama to get back in the good graces of the press, NOTHING else!!

Comments posted on HI-CALIBER blog in response to Professor Gates racial acusations against officer Crowsley

What you said about the separatists screaming racism and racial profiling, and that we now have a black man in office fueling the racial propaganda hit a nerve as I read it. I caught a short clip from Boston Legal this afternoon where the DWB (driving while black) topic came up and I just couldn't listen to the moaning and groaning for another second, so I moved on. It no longer matters why a black person is pulled over, because it will always be racially motivated, with few exceptions. We all know that black people out there would ever speed, run a red light, make an illegal turn, fail to signal, toss a burning cigarette out of a moving vehicle or anything else, but if they get pulled over for it, you can damn well bet it is going to instantly turn into a racial profiling case. I doubt for a second that it has anything to do with the fact that blacks are 7 times more likely to go to prison than whites...seems to me that their own kind have created this environment. It's attitude people, and the government purposely has been fueling it for many many years! They make the people of color feel picked on and like they are second class citizens who can't take care of themselves, and we are going to burp you and put you to bed and boo who who... and it is the likes of those in our current administration who have been and will continue to fuel that fire. I have several very good friends who are black, but they don't act like this, and look at someone like Columnist Walter Williams, or comedian Bill Cosby, both good guys, and both very smart. What about Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice? How about Martin Luther King? Yes, he was a Republican, not a Democrat, he saw what was going on....was he too and Uncle Tom?? These people have my utmost respect, because they have earned it, they don't just automatically get it, but to others of color, they are just Uncle Toms! And you say your not racist!

One day I listened to a group of blacks calling each other all sorts of vial names including the "N" word and I turned to my buddy, he's black by the way, and I said, what gives? He said, "that is why the friends I generally hang out with are not black, and trust me, blacks are just as racist as anyone else they accuse of being racist." That's pretty sad! I think the time has come that the people yelling the loudest about racism and profiling should stop and take a good look in the mirror, as it has become a very clear case of the pot calling the kettle black! Frankly, if I was officer Crowsley, I wouldn't go to the white house to see Obama, not because he's black, but because he is a first rate jackass using this as a media opportunity to try and erase his stupid remarks, and because he is trying his very best to destroy this country. For that reason alone, I would not even be willing to shake the mans hand!
