Hello, my name is Frau Merkel; I'm an hysteric.

Germany Shuts Down Seven Nuclear Reactors

Guten tag, Frau Merkel.

I know just how you feel... radiation was detected yesterday at DFW--the nearest major airport to my city and I'm petrified.

What if the radiation from passengers on a plane from Tokyo get on the Greyhound and come here and spread that killer rays at me and my dogs? I'm thinking of moving to Oklahoma... as far as I know, no Japanese people have ever gone to Oklahoma.

In the meantime I am taking precautionary measures with Sparky and my other two dogs, if it will only save one life we should shut down all nuclear power plants including all those dangerous submarines, and return to the 1950s... it would be worth it. 

I thought that we as a populace, had finally matured... at least to the point where we no longer burn witches at the stake, but I gave most American far too much credit, if the polls are to be believed: ".... 70 percent of those surveyed in a new USA Today/Gallup Poll say they’ve grown more concerned about the industry’s safety based on the crisis unfolding at reactors in Japan. Americans now oppose building more nuclear plants by a margin of 47 percent to 44 percent...".

This is or was a great nation driving a $14 trillion economy, the envy of every other country in the world, and millions of people just dying to come here... in many cases, I wish they would.

But what remains of the Greatest Generation must look at us and shake their heads sadly and with great bewilderment.... is this what Americans are now made of? Turn tail at the first shot fired... a president who finds even the word "victory" unsettling, but finds the raghead prayer “.... one of the prettiest sounds on Earth....”

I haven't seen this kind of irrational group-think "assaninediness" since Y2K.

Yeah the "swine flu" last year was amusing, but for getting its own reality show--"America's Biggest Dumbasses Running in the Streets and Caught on Tape"--you have to go with all the computers in the world ticking down to 2...0...0...0... followed by Mad Max Part Deux.

I grew so irritated with people (whom I assumed were normal) storing water and food in their basements that I stopped trying to appeal to reason and went straight to mocking-- for which I am told, I have an innate talent.

When asked if I was hoarding MREs and H20, it usually went something like this:

GA:  Nope. Don't need to.

Hysteric #1: Why's that?

GA: 'Cause I have guns and ammo and I know where you live. I've never seen anybody win a gunfight by bringing refreshments.

If people want to talk disaster, then let's damned well talk disaster.

The hysteria about Japan's nukes is of what I like to call the uber-liberal variety.... only highly educated folks with time on their hands, degrees and crap, who drink chardonnay and whose kids play soccer worry about things they can't comprehend. There's not a plumber or an Odessa oil man who don't understand what's happening now in these reactors and thus, sleep soundly.

I used to pray, "God save me from mine enemies."

Now it's just, "Dear Baby Jesus, please save me from mine idiots; I have guns and ammo and I know where my enemies live"

So in the interest of restful sleep and the right to laugh my ass off repeatedly while saying "I tole you so" for the foreseeable future... I'll not write about this pifffle again unless it's laced with copious amounts of derision.  

Nuke Fallout Reaches US…And Radiation Levels are a ‘Billion Times’ Below ‘Health Threatening’

Obama to finally support no fly zone?

Heh-heh: Barack Obama Elementary School Going Out of Business…

And now for some grounded reality and sanity about real disaster and how man's best friend has more than a leg up when it come to courage, devotion and what humanity should really mean:

                                    Watch video here.

Don’t get caught up in the symptoms

I’ll admit to being AWOL from this space of late; reasons are may, but No. 1 is my seeming inability to focus on one “pressing” issue among no less than 50 pressing issues pointing like daggers at the heart of America.

I keep coming back to the theme that why I mistrust, find frustrating and actually fear liberals and their radical masters… because they’ll get you killed.

• Obamacare+death panels=you’re dead.   
• “Café” standards mean lightweight cars=you’re dead.
• Far left MA Gov. Deval Patrick allows parole for sub-human with three life sentences=cop is dead. 
• Enviro-whackos outlaw DDT=millions are dead.  

And most recently, it appears that the communist infiltrated unions in New York appear to have staged a “work slowdown” as the recent blizzard hit; of course they were protesting some sort of grievance for which more money is the only solution.

The result of the criminal act by malcontent union thugs… :

• A baby delivered inside the lobby of a snowbound Brooklyn building died after an emergency call brought nine excruciating hours.
• A Queens woman tried to reach 911 operators for 20 minutes Monday and then waited for three hours for first responders to arrive. By then, her mom was dead.
• A 76-year-old Bay Ridge heart attack victim nearly died when an FDNY ambulance became stuck in a snow bank, but good Samaritans lugged him through the unplowed streets on make-shift sled.
• A 66 year-old man froze to death on a stranded subway car.

A criminal investigation is underway, but remember the Big Apple is a lot like Chicago… don’t hold your breath.

There are hundreds of cause and effect, direct results of leftists now undermining our nation on each and every front.

Central theme

But let’s settle on the main theme and stick will it for a moment, because the particulars are only symptoms which can easily be followed back to the infection that is ravaging Real America.

The infection is a fatal brew of power, control, and an amount of money that is impossible to fully grasp.

Just for round numbers… let’s take one-sixth of the U.S. economy, which if not defended completely, will fall into the hands of the radical left under Obamacare.

Power. Control. And the money to wield both.

We are already work slaves to this rapacious government and will work for our masters for free until April 9 this year, but we still have what’s left.

But when the government forces government health insurance on you and your family and the manages costs the only way possible… by limiting treatment, grandma will live the rest of her days in a wheel chair because hip replacements are too costly to waste on the elderly who do not work.

And if that cancer treatment is “too expensive”, then simply, you will die. Meanwhile Obama spend hundreds of millions on vacations which apparently are not “too expensive”.

Senior citizen, meet ice floe.

Or as the departing Queen Nancy sees it: Nanny Nancy Knows Best: If Every American Loved Their Healthcare Dems Would Still Take it Over, Repeal Is ‘Violence’.

See? The left has zero interest in “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” You cannot take control of a country and run a Big Brother Government unless you change everything.

Let’s say, even national defense.

In the Navy:

Do really want me to believe that there is no connection between the repeal of DADT a few days ago and the cashiering of the skipper of the USS Enterprise for showing videos that contained “anti-gay slurs”? The shipboard-produced videos were four years old, but somehow surface now.

Gutless top brass effectively ended Captain Owen Honors’ stellar career for "demonstrating poor judgment while serving as executive officer of that ship."

“Tail-hook Part Deux.”

Captain Honors, a decorated, 27-year naval aviator with 85 combat missions was a water-walker and one of a small hand full of men to earn command of a nuke carrier. Apparently he was considered the best… he beat out every one else in the Navy for the position based on his record, but now all of a sudden he’s not fit to command.

Ironically, The Big E, the very first and therefore oldest nuclear carrier in the Navy is to be mothballed in 2013. Captain Honors probably never figured he’d be dry-docked first.

The point? Do you actually believe that those who drive the far-left, homosexual agenda in this country care about national defense? Hell no, they care only about antri-American, homosexual political action in order to turn a straight, conservative society upside down and inside out.

What more dramatic place to attack than our military?

The plan that has long been in place is now out in the open, no longer fearful of being exposed. In this time of war the forces of evil have successfully attacked and disabled to a certain extent the most powerful military in the world. Next you’ll be telling me they’ll be putting women on subs… wait, what? Women to Serve on Submarines Within a Year

Power. Control. Money. 

“Environmentalism”, “green” this and that, none of it has a damned thing to do with saving the planet it has to do with crushing our economy.

Ethanol… a complete lie that ruined the food corn market for consumers and actually cost 1.5 gallons of petrol to produce 1.0 gallons of ethanol. and thus caused more pollution and drove the price of gasoline higher… only made the “right “ people richer.

Just days ago that fat-ass Algore admitted ethanol was a scam from the very start and he backed it only because he was running for president, but note how tens of millions of idiots bought into the Ponzi scheme.

Every single environmental group is nothing more than a Trojan Horse.

Take your color-coded recycling bins and put ‘em where the sun don’t shine.

“Dairy Queen” light bulbs? My friend Bo over at Be Sure You're RIGHT, Then Go Ahead nails it:

“In the liberal scheme of things, the possible poisoning by mercury of a few individual American klutzes is a small price to pay in the progressive plan to turn the nation into an energy-efficient third world backwater.  At any event, citizens should not be unduly alarmed.  After all, if they’re very, very careful, they may never break a bulb…”

It goes like this… General Electric, jumps on “green” propaganda bandwagon. Produces tremendously high-price light bulb. Gives millions to politicians and enviro-whackos. GE owns NBC. NBC orders full-court, 24-7 promotion of the bulb disguised as “news”. Law phasing out and eventual ban of incandescent cheap bulbs signed into law. Profits skyrocket. 

Power. Control. Money.

I praised “Gunny” R. Lee Ermey the other day for calling Obama a socialist who was ruining the country. I take it all back… because the former drill instructor took it all back and apologized like a pouting little girl in ballet class.

The website Mediaite wonders if the apology is a move to appease the insurance company GEICO. As many know, Ermey has had a resurgence as a GEICO commercial star. But recently, another GEICO voice actor was fired for a foray into political talk:

A few months ago, GEICO fired voice actor Lance Baxter AKA D.C. Douglas for being critical of the Tea Party and Freedomworks. Not only did they fire him, they fired him for a political outburst on his own free time. Will they now fire Ermey?

That could be the reason. But some may just wonder if this is Ermey crossing into “mamby pamby land”:

Piss off Ermey… you’ve made more money than God off being a Marine, and now you fold like a tent because of money???

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been talking about. 

Trading freedom for “security”…..

I feel for anyone in real distress and there are real problems in the northeast—mainly New York City—in this global warming-induced blizzard.

But it’s hard not to chuckle when the people who live in a nanny state threaten to kill the nanny when things go wrong. Yes, despite the trillions spent on the global warming hoax and other enviro-bovine droppings idiocy, the Left has failed to bring Mother Nature to heel.

Thus, New Yorkers are enraged and researchers and experts, as always, are “surprised.”

First, if you live in New York or any major population American rat maze, you’ve made your pact with the Devil…. grab yer big boy pants and deal with it.

Meanwhile call someone in Montana, Minnesota or North Dakota and tell them how hard you have it.

New Yorkers this week are the Katrina “victims” of yesteryear.

“Haaaalp, I’ve fallen and I cain’t get up.!!!!”

Sounds like a personal problem… here’s a dime, call the Chaplain.

Big city dwellers allowed a massive government to control them and must reap the care and consideration of a faceless, bureaucratic colossus which intersects every aspect of their lives and, then they’re shocked when it fails time and time again…. to provide even the minimum.   

This is a New Yorker (Los Angelino, Denverite, Austinidiot):

“I called 911 and they didn’t come, but at least I don’t have an evil gun in my rat-infested apartment… I might accidentally discharge it and hurt someone.”  

Thus, the observable lesson in all this has become my mantra: “I hate liberals because they will eventually get me killed.”

Let us take the case of poor Barbara Lynch, just one of the unfortunately residents of California:

Cliff Collapses, a Homeowner Begs for Help | NBC San Diego

An Encinitas woman was still waiting for permission to begin shoring up a cliff that runs along her backyard even thought her property is sloughing off into the pacific..

Barbara Lynch must ask the Coastal Commission for permission to fix the bluff that runs along the back of her home which collapsed on Friday morning.

Government drones have said the bluff is part of Lynch's property, and she is required to get permission from the Coastal Commission before doing any work……. but Lynch also has to get a permit from the city to get access to her property from the beach.

She’s tried for 10 years without success.

Come the right storm and maximum erosion… goodbye Barb; great being a Californian, wasn’t it? 

Yesterday Dennis Prager had the spot-on analogy for the difference between conservatives and leftists… the zoo.

Given the choice of trading freedom for safety and security, the left will choose government-controlled security of their lives every time; conservatives, Real Americans, will always choose freedom and its inherent risks and dangers.

Yet leftists do not practice what they preach… while they want zoo animals to be “free”, they want you to be forced into lines, profiled, frisked, x-rayed, searched, sexually fondled, harassed and sometimes detained and or jailed…in the name of “safety and security”. 

Stop you from smoking on your own property,

The more deluded and egocentric leftists become “activists” who are “catalysts” for change… sound familiar? They want you under the government ‘s thumb, but not themselves.

They demand you send your kid to public schools full of violence, sex, drugs and incompetence… but their kids are attending the New Jersey Meriwether Institutive for Small, Wealthy Spawn.

They insist you drive a tin box with a sewing machine motor while they drive around in Subs and Escalades, Gulf G-5s and of course AF One or Pelosi One; while you pry what’s left of your kid out of the wreck, they tout “saving” the environment with federal “café” standards which require 28.7 mpg. So what if it  means smaller, less crash-resistant, less powerful vehicles?

Only you peons will die.   

The statists have security and or concealed weapons permits, but use every ounce of government power to keep you from protecting your family with a firearm.

Yes, liberalism can and will kill you.

You earn all the money, but they (after they and their union pals and cronies take their cut) give half of it away to the dregs of society who live virtually tax and cost-free in Nannyland.

They don’t pay taxes, yet get “tax refunds”; you pay your damned taxes or go to prison… while they park their yacht in another state to avoid their fair share, or they’ll just steal from you outright like half the black members of congress have a penchant to do. 

…. and cry racism when exposed.

In Real America (most places under 150,000) we are willing and able to carry concealed handguns and be prepared to take some sub-human’s life, because in the five seconds it takes to read this, calling for help from some branch of government is no answer—if you want to live.

In Real America, conservatives desperately want the federal government to be just a distant threat—caught up in interstate highways and the military; but leftists what to be overwhelmed by myriad levels of government; they invite and demand the government to control your salt intake, restrict the amount of of trans-fat you choke down… and meanwhile they pay for the cost of your loss or freedom and confinement inside the government nanny-box.

Leftists force child safety seats and air bags on you, unless the child in the child seat in the car seat is too small and then the air bag must be turned off, cause they’ll kill your kid….; that little Catch 22 represents billions of wasted cash and gives the state police yet another pretense to stop you and violate your right to freedom and travel.

Here in Texas, as in all states but New Hampshire, a seat belt violation is upwards of $100; worse, it is a “primary” violation—you can be stopped based solely on the officer’s statement you were sans belt.

Fines are higher if you don’t have children belted.

And speaking of…. “It’s for the children.”

There has never been a more spurious justification for government intrusion into our lives to steal our money and control us.

Case in point: eventually the baby won’t be allowed to sit on your lap for the plane trip to Grandma’s… little Chantiqua will have to be in a FAA-approved infant-flight transport pac (not your flimsy car seat), which means another high-dollar plane ticket . This will force the Obama-caused lower income folks to put everyone in the Family Truckster where the chances of the baby (and everyone else) dying are exponentially greater. 

The average fatalities from airline accidents in the world has averaged 714 a year for the last 20 years; 80% of these deaths were international, which results in an average of 142 airline deaths in the U.S. each year.

Meanwhile on the road, there have been 912,000 U.S. auto fatalities since the early 90s.

It’s the rule of unintended consequences, but the Left pays that no heed… it’s all smoke and mirrors, after all it’s for the children. And if there were no swimming pools, child drownings would dwindle to a handful, but the lefties don’t have enough brain power for critical thinking.    

Yeah, it’s a zoo out there, and the leftists want you in a cage to make we can all live in a zero-defect, low-risk Utopia…. after all it’s for your own good; all you have to do is give up your freedom.

Lefty Friday Follies

I seldom have time to laugh at those on the left, I’m too busy ridiculing and threatening them, but today I have a little breathing room and you may not have see/heard about some of the absolutely stellar idiots who believe they are superior to you bitter clingers.

This has to be No.1:

(Mercury News)- 1960s songbird Joan Baez had a tree house built — without walls — 20 feet high in an oak tree behind her Woodside home because she wanted to sleep with birds.

The folk singer legend, who once performed the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome” before a half-million people at Woodstock, fell from that tree house Wednesday as she climbed down from the platform.

Paramedics drove the singer to Stanford Hospital, where she was treated and released after it was determined she had suffered only minor injuries.

No injuries? Musta fallen on her head.

“I sleep in a tree all summer long,” Baez told an English blogger in 2008. “I climb up on a ladder, with ropes and things. The birds are right there in the morning. Sometimes they’re flying so close to my head I can feel the wind.

“Those things are heaven to me.”

She has no idea how close she came to the real thing.

No. 2

I love most of Neil Young’s music, but there is no bigger dumbass left-winger in entertainment… yeah, I know what about Babs Streisand and Martin Sheen? Well, that’s a different kinda stoopid.

To wit:

A three-alarm fire that damaged a San Carlos warehouse containing memorabilia belonging to rocker Neil Young started in a vintage car that he had converted into a hybrid vehicle, authorities said Tuesday.

Very little is left of the “vintage car”, a 1959 Lincoln Continental, which is always the first choice of any ecofreak when it comes to autos. Here’s the couple in happier times:  

Fire investigators determined that the fire started in in the 2.5-ton behemoth’s electric battery/biodiesel-powered generator and spread to the warehouse. The “hybrid” system Young had outfitted the car with was part of his company called LincVolt.

“LincVolt”?… he must have a niche market among other ‘59 Lincoln owners.

Regardless, I feel sad for anyone who loses some or all of a lifetime of personal treasures… I’m reminded of the fire in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s home which consumed everything he had, and more than one Medal of Honor Recipient who suffered the same loss.

Young kept guitars, paintings, vintage cars and cases of other memorabilia at the 10,000-square-foot warehouse. About 70 percent of the belongings have been salvaged or are salvageable, fire officials said. The blaze caused at least $1 million in damage, authorities said.

Coming in at No.3 is the left’s arch master of disguise and the uncanny ability to blend into the population… his name is Bond…. Walter Edmund Bond.

Also the committed vegan tattooed the word across his neck which officers used to identify and arrested him for burning down a sheepskin factory in Colorado. But wait, there’s more:

After the factory was burned down, a video showed a man approaching the building around 3 am with a backpack. A man who identified himself as “A.L.F. Lone Wolf” later posted this message on the Internet:

“Be warned that making a living from the use and abuse of animals will not be tolerated. Also be warned that leather is every bit as evil as fur, as demonstrated in my recent arson against the Leather Factory in Salt Lake City. Go vegan!”

No he di’n’t… yes, yes he did.

A third party called the FBI to say that Bond had said that he was the culprit. They arranged a meeting where Bond reportedly admitted to the arson.

What is fascinating is the reference to the lunch that Bond had at a friend’s house shortly before he was arrested: hamburgers.

In his backpack, they found literature titled “The Declaration of War – Killing People to Save Animals – Strike a Match, Light a Fuse, We Only Have the Earth to Lose.”

Bond faces a maximum prison term of 20 years in prison.

I’d make him spend the entire time on mess duty… with the meat.

And speaking of body-fat: This is good for a laugh… here’s the lefty dipwad who insists of telling you how and what to eat….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   … and is always so appropriately dressed when representing the Nation.

She is hands down the Worst First we’ve ever had and that includes Shirley McLaine in “Guarding Tess.”

And this just in: The 2010 NAACP Image Award for politics goes to:

US Representative Hank Johnson; no one will ever top this when it comes to the fine collection of public servants with which the demwit party poisons the body politic. I give you once again, Ole Hank, as he shared his concern over the island of Guam “tipping over”. The discussion centered on Johnson’s worries that 8,000 more US troops and their family being stationed on the island that it may tip over and sink into the bottom of the ocean.

The tipping point

Groan…….

What a laugh riot those Los Angeles fruit cakes and nuts are…when God finally gets Sodom-Gomorra angry enough Cali will finally fall into the sea and we’ll all be better off. 

No self-respecting interior designer or anyone with scintilla of style would allow such a tree in the house… even on Mardi Gras.

Want you must know for the survival of your family and this country….

Breaking: Rahm Emanuel is taking an early back door outta the White House because he needs to “spend more time with the family” or just a difference of “style” in the Oval Office…. don’t you believe it:

(NBC Chicago)- President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, then a congressman in Illinois, apparently attempted to trade favors with embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich while he was in office, according to newly disclosed e-mails obtained by The Associated Press.

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

Friday I passed on the connection between Obama, the oil spill, his former Nazi informant and communist handler George Soros:

Last year Obama gave $2 billion in “loans” to Brazil to exploit offshore oil resources in Brazil’s Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de Janeiro while opposing more off-shore drilling in our coastal waters and demanding an end to our reliance on petroleum.

But just a few days before the cash literally “went south”, billionaire communist George Soros repositioned himself in Petrobras (a multi-national energy company, and the largest company in Latin America).

Be sure and DVR/TIVO Glenn Beck’s hour-long expose on the Soros-Obama connection, 5 p.m. today on FNC.

As I look back over my research the last three years, I am more and more convinced that the lazy, spoiled American populace virtually refuses to be informed. All the damning raw evidence is out there—readily available on the internet and some talk radio programs—nothing should be a surprise.

That makes those who read this small contribution to our continued liberty and freedom must become or continue to be the “go to” source among their family and friends when it comes to the truth that will save this country.

Such sources of information, large and small, are the modern-day “pamphlets” used by our Founding Fathers/ Radical Revolutionaries to raise the armies of the American People to fight the oppressors. 

I believe that to fulfill our roles as pamphleteers we must be well versed in, well, reality.

We must know the Constitution, communism, the “progressive” movement in America (start with uber racist and would-be despot Woodrow Wilson); and you have to know "The Cloward-Piven Strategy":

The strategy of forcing political change through orchestrated crisis. The "Cloward-Piven Strategy" seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.

Richard Cloward (thank gawd he took his dirt nap in 2001) and Frances Fox Piven (now 78, let us hope she’s seriously ill) were  lifelong members of Democratic Socialists of America who taught sociology at Columbia University (Piven later went on to City University of New York). In a May 1966 Nation magazine article titled "The Weight of the Poor," they outlined their strategy, proposing to use grassroots radical organizations to push ever more strident demands for public services at all levels of government. The result, they predicted, would be "a profound financial and political crisis" that would unleash "powerful forces ... for major economic reform at the national level."

Does this, in 2010, sound familiar… currently? You see why I say that this socialist take over began in earnest more than 50 years ago?

You have to know ACORN founder Wade Rathke (right).

You have to know Cass Sustein:

He's Obama's regulatory "czar." He is the author of the book "Nudge"—basically a book that looks at Americans as a bunch of lab rats. And he knows all the tricks and all the levers to make them behave the way he wants them to. Just a little nudge here and little nudge there.

Salon.com uncovered a paper Sunstein wrote in 2008 on how to handle opposition groups. To Sunstein anything "anti- government" is a conspiracy theory.

First, he proposed that, government ban conspiracy theories… make them illegal. 

Two—the government might impose some sort of tax on those who engage in conspiracy theories.

Three—government might itself engage in counter-speech, OK? Marshalling arguments to, quote, "discredit conspiracy theories and theorists."

Four: Hire third-parties. They might formally hire these people, organizations to engage in counter-speech.

Five: The government must support these parties, help them.

Quote: "Our main policy claim here is the government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories."

And, you must read The 5,000 Year Leap.

Here’s an interactive map for Obama’s daily progress in cleaning up an oil spill.

What if this had been a nuke or a bio-chem attack?

Give up?

It would be exactly the same thing… haven't you been paying attention?

You wanna see what dimocrats (who will get you killed, remember?) are focused on in a two front/global war against psychotic Muslim mass murderers?

Check out U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (Dumazz-AZ) who is more concerned about the military using “green energy”  pin Afghanistan than the two service members in her district who were recently KIA.

I wish to hell some general or admiral would simply stand up, retire on the spot, and then call these traitors what they are and how our military deserves far more than they could ever provide.

May such “public servants” get cancer.

Ya listenin’ God?

Useful Idiots: If you hoped and voted for a “fundamental change” in America, this is all your fault

The Cincinnati Kid and I have an on-going debate about how much of what government is and does is simply idiocy and incompetence and how much is intentional for political, personal and financial gain.

She has a near 100-percent disdain of the competency of the federal government as a concept while I fall into the camp of fearing my government, especially what it has become since l swore to defend my country and The Constitution, and especially now since the Marxist regime change.

That's why The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, and the Bill of Rights are so written. Much of these documents content echoes the inherent danger of a massive federal government and the absolutely need for the freedom, liberty and the complete protection of our God-given individual rights.

Obama and the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion… stupid and incompetent, or purposeful? Since the explosion killed 11 platform workers and injured 17 others April 20, 2010… 56 days Obama (with whom the buck stops), the Coast Guard, FEMA, Homeland Security, the Army Corpse of Engineers—the full power and capability of the United States has accomplished nothing.

Furthermore, Obama has rejected the help of other countries, and their technologies; the private sector, pleas from Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to allow him to try to protect the state’s fragile coastline and marshes from the greatest environmental disaster in North American history.

Meanwhile, Obama’s first response, other than schedule more vacations and golf outings, was to send SWAT teams and federal prosecutors to the Gulf, encouraged mammoth litigation, vow to keep a “boot on the neck” of British Petroleum and “unleash” the worst attorney general in US history, Eric Holder, to seek criminal prosecutions related to the Clean Water Act, Oil Pollution Act of 1990, Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Endangered Species Act. He won’t stop the environmental disaster, but he’ll use to full force of the federal government to destroy the petroleum industry.

The near complete absence of the environmental-whackos attacking Obama on an hourly basis once again proves the truth that the environmental movement is only a Marxist cover… Green on the outside, Red of the inside. 

May 2—Obama restricts all fishing in more than 60,000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico… from the Louisiana state waters to Pensacola Bay. Rather than allow commercial fishing of areas yet affected by the spill so these small businesses can continue their trade, they were essentially closed by the federal government; those fish will likely perish—this in itself may cost area economies billions.

Obama response to this:  Barry Saves Gulf Tourism by Eating Shrimp, Turtle Soup and a Snow Cone, and encouraging Gulf Shores visitors, apparently it’s far enough away from Vegas.

 May 22 - Obama signs an executive order establishing the bipartisan National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling. The purpose of the commission is to "consider the root causes of the disaster and offer options on safety and environmental precautions

May 27 - Obama announces a six-month moratorium on new deepwater oil drilling permits in 500 feet of water or more. The moratorium will affect 31 wells. Deepwater rigs lease for between $250,000 and $500,000 a day and employ between 800 and 1,400 during the initial drilling. Based on the oil flow estimates by the Flow Rate Technical Group, the United States government increased its estimate at 12,000 to 19,000 barrels (500,000 to 800,000 US gallons; 1,900,000 to 3,000,000 liters) per day.

This moratorium will kill up to 10,000 Louisiana jobs and possibly 20,000 jobs throughout the course of the year.

These offshore rigs won’t be allowed to remain in place to wait to see what happens; they’re operated by capitalists, thank gawd, and thus will simply be dispatched elsewhere in the world… to other countries which ironically  realize that this is a petroleum-based economy and always will be a petroleum based economy.

As devastating as the spill is, this—Obama’s man-made financial catastrophe—may cripple the entire Gulf Coast for decades, perhaps for the foreseeable future; thus, Obama will have accomplished what he market and Mother Nature could not.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is but the tip of a gigantic iceberg… name something in Obama’s actions that indicate anything other than intent; then, combine that with the destruction of the US car industry, the coming medical disaster as a result of Obamacare, the destruction of the economy, the mammoth increase in our tax burden and the tax enslavement of Americans yet born.

The Daycare Center Against Terror.

The Open Boarders for Wetbacks and Terrorists Program.

The demonizing (ala Saul Alinsky) of Real Americans, and the hatred of our military.

Stupid, incompetent, lackadaisical, lacking in focus, upset tummy?

Hardly.

We must pray every day for his complete and utter failure, and the immediate handcuffing of his political powers until he can be driven from office.

We are staring into the eyes of our greatest enemy.  

 

"You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before. Let's put this in the "things not to say before trying to spend a trillion dollars" column...”—Rahm Emanuel, Obama Chief of staff.

dimocrats and competence… like oil and water

Let us bow our heads and remember The Promises of The One:

“I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on earth.”

Actually, I remember when the president’s response time to address a crisis (according to the democrat party) was somewhere south of a minute/30 seconds, and required the leader of the free world to be on the ground leading the response within three hours tops.

Apparently the criteria has been changed… drastically.

Now the appropriate response is any, or a combination of the following:

• grab four, five guys and or lesbians for an hour of hoops
• play a round or two of golf
• threaten to put “a boot on the neck of__________.” (This excludes, North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Hamas, Hezbollah, democrats who lie about serving in Vietnam, Vlad Putin, Red China and Big Bird, right.)
• Talk about Lebron James going to the Bulls.
• Take Elena Kagan to the annual Dykes on Bikes Softball Tourney in San Francisco’s Castro District.
• Blame George Bush
• Blame Dick Cheney
• Immediately create another 657,000 green jobs in the burgeoning windmill and electric car industries.

Yes, when you care enough to get the very best, democrats select a community organizer while the insane yellow hordes in NoKor are poised to provoke their southern neighbors to a major war in the Yellow Sea (see: update), Louisiana is being coated with 5W-30, and we are about five dominoes away from a global economic disaster.

Let us look at the euphemistically-named “oil spill” about which the federal government—run entirely by left-wing democrats—has done absolutely nothing but blame British Petroleum and thwart its attempts to stop the blow and simultaneously begin the massive clean up.

Worse, the federal government is preventing Louisiana from protecting its own coastline, resources and fishing industry. 

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar continued direct blame at BP. "We came to see what BP has done and not done." Janet Napolitano said. "We continue to hold BP responsible as the responsible party, but we are on them, watching them."

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and his administration are pleading for federal approval to build colossal sandbars outside barrier islands in the Gulf of Mexico to protect the state's vast wetlands from the oil spurting from the Deepwater Horizon rig.

Bu Jindal said he has been forced to protect Louisiana without the approval of the Army Corps of Engineers, which is weighing the ecological impact of the construction of more sand booms.

Got that? Obama, in the midst of the worst oceanic disaster in US history, is worried about the impact of sand in the Gulf of Mexico.

Yeah, yeah… you’re way ahead of me…. You wanna know what it’s gonna cost you.

A lot.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Responding to the massive BP oil spill, Congress is getting ready to quadruple—to 32 cents a barrel—a tax on oil used to help finance cleanups. The increase would raise nearly $11 billion over the next decade.

What this means is that the government will keep the tax, and you’ll soon be paying $4+—gallon gasoline; the feds will force BP to pay for the lions’ share of the clean up.

So… you pay the government to do nothing and BP legitimately ups its prices to cover the cost of the clean up.

If you have investments in oil, as any sound person does…then you’ll take a double hit; but at least Obama was about to have Chicago pizza flown in for din-din to watch the disaster on TV… or maybe it was the playoffs.

Last thought… since when does an accident warrant a government’s jackboot on the neck of a private industry that suffered it? 

I understand it was all the rage in the 1930s in Italy and Germany.

Green on the outside, red on the inside

The first time I encountered communists they were trying to kill me and Don and damned near succeeded.

They didn’t look like the communist on the right over there, but this woman—Environmental Protection Agency Chief Lisa Jackson—far more dangerous. The North Vietnamese were incapable of harming our nation, destroying our country.

The Obama regime is capable and underway.

Returning to college after Vietnam, I remember endless philosophical harangues on campus between the Marxists and the Maoists and those in the Revolutionary Communist Party, etc.…the kinds of people Obama cultivated as “friends” back in his college days.

Green on the outside, red on the inside

After an embarrassingly long adolescence the Baby Boomers, in which they accomplished nothing, got haircuts and found employment.

But the communists among them didn’t go away, they just got smarter, and took on the trappings of convention and do-gooder organizations. It’s what a good infiltrator does.

They found the perfect cover among the useful idiot enviro-whackos, and after a long 30-year incubation, they have helped take control of the government.

LM3/1 has posted the profiles of several hard-core communists like “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones (above) who said:

… that his advocacy for green jobs was part of a broader movement to destroy the U.S. capitalist system. "The white polluters and the white environmentalists are essentially steering poison into the people-of-color communities because they don’t have a racial justice framework."

Obama Regulatory Czar Cass Sunstein who said that it…

is "desirable" to redistribute America's wealth using "environmental justice."

Communist terror bomber Bill Ayers.

Advisor Valerie Jarrett whose late father-in-law, Vernon Jarrett, was an associate of Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis who mentored a young Obama in Hawaii.

Lisa Jackson is just one more commie in the woodpile.

Last August, speaking at a conference of the National Association of Black Journalists (what else), she set forth the hard left agenda for the EPA: "This Land Is Our Land Too: Justice, Jobs and Environmental Protection." She said it was necessary to make clear to people suffering immediate economic distress the relationship between "traditional civil rights and social justice issues" and environmental justice.

In other words, according to the government  propaganda, pollution and environmental degradation falls disproportionately in low-income and minority communities. “We can't stand by and accept those disparities. As a start we are building our environmental team."

And how is this to be accomplished?

The only answer is “environment justice” and the only way to bring that about is through the redistribution of wealth, your wealth.

Which is just a convoluted way of quoting Lenin: "From each, according to his ability; to each, according to his needs.”

Or, as the EPA now proclaims: The guiding principle of the Office of Environmental Justice is that everyone, regardless of race or income, is entitled to share equally in the benefits of environmental protection.

One of the key elements of this “enviro justice” operation is found in the EPA brainwashing of your kids

Here’s a typical “viral video” featured very young children to push “environment justice”; the audio is poor, but you get the idea… worse the kids get the idea…. Lenin’s.

Here’s a more polished effort:

Epic fail!

The greatest speaker who ever spake sure wowed the world in “Hopenhagen” with the incredible imagery of phrases like:

• “The time for talk is over”
• "time for action, not words,"
• "we should live in the future, not the past"

And… he searched and searched until he could find someone to bow to… not his usual lick-the-shoes bow that he reserves for our greatest enemies, and not the head-bob his mouth-breathers insist was a “stumble” or perhaps a “weather balloon”—somewhere in-between.  

And there is more good news from Jake Tapper—the only reporter left in the state-run network TV news-: Oh my- White House sounding resigned to defeat in Copenhagen

Breaking: Breaking: India, China walk out of Copenhagen. A much-need wooden stake has been drive into the heart of the Enviro-idiots and their attempt to destroy America.

In honor of this moment-to-be-cherished here’s The Goracle reading his “poem” which was obviously inspired by a a 15-year-old sophomore chick.

And quote for the day goes to Ralph Nader (the 1960s hysterical liar who succeeded in destroying a perfectly reasonable and safe U.S. automobile.. the Chevy Corvair):

“This is what I meant a year ago when I said the next year will determine whether Barack Obama will be an Uncle Tom groveling before the demands of the corporations.”

My good friend from the Mystic East, Jeff The Norton Driver, said this morning, “… I have been appalled by congress for years. My disgust is plumbing new depths on so many fronts. But it has become more than disgusting. It is now dangerous. The chickens will come home to pay the piper.”

The Senate is case-in-point. This must have been what Romans thought as Nero made his horse a senator... Minnesotans made one of a ass.

The world at large has indeed become theater of the absurd.... Tony Blair ran away to join the circus in Copenhagen yesterday and promptly announced:

“It is said that the science around climate change is not as certain as its proponents allege. It doesn’t need to be.”

Saying that the global warming science (sic) “might not be certain” when it has been wholly fabricated, faked and merely a facade for the greatest Ponzi scheme in history is akin to saying that Sen. Babs Boxer is “dumber than a post.”

Yet here is Britain’s former PM saying “don’t bother me with the truth, I have my mind made up.”

And to think I once considered him sane.

ENOUGH!

Let us reflect on the best and brightest. This comes from one of the leading milblogs on the net—Blackfive—which posts a regular feature: Someone You Should Know; it contains accounts of courage and sacrifice by our troops.

Marine Lance Cpl. Richard S. Weinmaster has entered the honored realm of our greatest heroes:

In the heat of an ambush in Afghanistan's most lawless province, 19-year-old Lance Cpl. Richard S. Weinmaster threw himself in front of a grenade to shield other marines in his platoon.
Weinmaster was critically wounded by the blast.

But the bloodied Nebraska native stayed in the fight, firing his machine at the enemy position until he collapsed from his wounds.

Looking back at the July 8, 2008, engagement, Weinmaster says,"I didn't do anything special. Everyone on my left and right would have done the same thing. I was just in the right place at the right time."

For extraordinary heroism while serving as automatic rifleman, Weinmaster was awarded the Navy Cross.

For comparison, here’s another young American….

            "I Pledge to be of service to our president."

Now, do the right thing and go tell your kids to forgive you because there is no such thing as global warming (sic)

As faithful readers will recall, I never argue with Holocaust deniers… it is beneath the dignity of one of the world’s greatest atrocities and beneath the intelligence of any sane person.

So it comes as no surprise that I’m not going to spend much time on the collapse of the world-wide global warming conspiracy; the leftist enviro-whacko scientists has been outed, proving once and for all that anyone who still believes in “man-made global warming” is a certifiable idiot.

Amazing, unbelievable, breaking news:

• people lied to line their own pockets… imagine.
• scientists faked, hid, altered and ignored any data that proved contrary to their pre-determined research results;
• They did so in order to fraudulently obtain grant money, cash in on the lecture circuit, books, documentaries and eventually business opportunities based on something that does not exist.

And they are no different that our scam artist president who will be traveling to Copenhagen in December to help kick off the global climate talks… about a fairy tale disaster cooked up by our enemies.

All “environmentalism” is a scam and has nothing to do with the environment; it has everything to do with the communizing of the entire world.

Should you encounter GW true believers in the future, please just laugh in their face and move on… you have more important things to do—like getting rid of any elected office-holder who carried the water for this attempt to destroy our economy and way of life.

Remember: If you believe in global warming… you just may be are a moron.

Here’s what American parents have allowed government schools to do to their children:

My daughter came home from school recently with a spring in her step and a song on her lips. With no foreshadowing -- or time to call an exorcist -- out came this chilling refrain:

" . . . You can hear the warning -- GLOBAL WARMING . . . "

By the time her father and I removed our jaws from the floor, we had learned that:

A) All the kids had been coerced into singing this catchy ditty, which we called "The Warming Song," at a concert for parents.

B) Further song lyrics scolded selfish adults (that would be us) for polluting our planet and causing a warming scourge that would, in no short order, kill all the polar bears and threaten the birds and bees.  Read more here:

Speaking of office holders

Sunday, four Lakewood Police Department officers, were conducting a routine pre-shift briefing over their laptops at coffee shop when they were ambushed and shot to death by a sub-human waste of skin, Maurice Clemmons.

The murders took place in Parkland, Wash., near McChord Air Force Base, about 35 miles south of Seattle.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is responsible is responsible for the massacre because he commuted Clemmon’s 95-year-prison term after only 11 years.

The dead are:

(L-R): Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39, with 13 years of law-enforcement experience, is survived by his wife and three children.

Officer Greg Richards, 42, had eight years of law-enforcement experience, and is survived by his wife and three children.

Officer Tina Griswold, 40, a 14-year veteran officer, is survived by her husband and two children.

Officer Ron Owens, 37, who spent 12 years in law enforcement, is survived by a former wife and a daughter.

Additionally, Clemmons, 37, was recently charged in Pierce County, Wash., in an assault on a police officer and rape of a child, according to law enforcement reports.

Clemmons, though wounded by one of the officers, escape and still eludes authorities.

In 2000, Huckabee commuted Clemmons’ 95-year prison sentence for numerous felonies in Arkansas despite his long and violent criminal history in the state. Clemmons served only 11 years of a the 60-year sentence for burglary and theft of property and was already serving 48 years on five felony convictions and facing up to 95 more years on charges of robbery, theft of property and possessing a handgun on school property.   

The revelation marks the second time Huckabee's clemency decisions have become an issue. During the 2007-2008 presidential campaign, the story of his 1999 grant of clemency to convicted rapist Wayne Dumond, who went on to rape again, was widely reported.

News accounts say Huckabee commuted Clemmons' sentence "over the protests of prosecutors”, citing Clemmons' young age at the time the crimes were committed.

Four widowed spouses and nine children left with only one parent.

What’s Huckabee’s response to this?

The usual political coward’s way out… he wrote:

if Clemmons is found responsible for the murders, "it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State.”

But not the very man who let him out of the pen?

Huckabee says he loves doing his TV talk show… great, and there he could stay where he only contributes to boring people, not causing their deaths.

Huckabee is complicit in these murders by Clemmons and Dumond and is therefore unfit for any future public office.

Knock-knock… who’s there?

Don’t believe the “White House intruders” Michaele and Tareq Salahi spin… already in its third or fourth cycle.

In my days as a news photographer I covered two presidents—Carter and Reagan—and several candidates for president and party nominations.

In general it went like this: you contact the Secret Service advance team in the city the President will be in; social security number, DOB, press affiliation, “check back at this number in a week”.

Then on the day of the event you show up at a non-descript hotel room and check in with the agent for credentials. It should be routine unless you lied somewhere along the line, or you aren’t who you said you were. 

Press passes around the neck, you go to the press entrance at the venue where you take everything out of your camera bag for examination and you’re told to fire off a couple of frames on each camera.

Then it’s through the metal detectors and on inside.

And that’s just to get within photo range of The Man…. seldom closer than 30-40 yards.

No one is waved through the gate, let alone snags a one-on-one with POTUS by showing up without an invite or a background check (Although I’ll admit you have a better chance if you have an attractive, thin, bleach-blonde walking point.)

There are several scenarios that I don’t care much about right now, but may prove interesting:

• Gate crasher #1, Tareq Salahi, served on the board of the American Task Force for Palestine, where Columbia University Professor Rashid Khalidi served as vice president. The American Power blog noticed both Salahi’s and Khalidi’s names have been scrubbed from the Task Force website, although Salahi’s bio still comes up on a Google cache search of the site. –Via TheRealBrackOabam.com.
• We all remember that Obama was close friends with Khalidi who is a virulent anti-Semite and Israel hater.
• Desiree Rogers, the socialite (very lite) friend of Barry’s who is White House Social Secretary and therefore responsible for vetting the guest list, but is more interested in having her photo taken.

Anyway, this too—just a tiny little footnote—will settle out and more connections will be made directly to the president of the United States and the shadowy world that he was born and raised into politically and the one he’s visited on the White House… The Peoples’ House.
