NTSB

I see the NTSB, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that the citizens of this country should no longer be able to use a cell phone while driving, as it is “distracting.”  What’s next?  A ban on listening  to the radio while driving?  No front seat passengers? Am I the only one who finds the intrusion of the Federal government nothing more than a blatant attempt to control our lives to meet their satisfaction?  They already make smokers feel like second class citizens, we are told what we can eat and what we can watch on television.  It is time someone or a group of someone’s told the Fed to butt out.  Our privacy is tossed aside at airports, our lives are constantly examined by law enforcement under the guise of Homeland Security, and, according to the Feds, it is for our own good.

Bullshit.  It is for the good of the Federal Government.  The more control they can exercise, the less likely the citizens are to stand up to them.  This needs to stop.  It needs to stop now.

For the Kids

I see on the news that kids are writing letters to Santa asking for shoes or warm clothing or food instead of toys.  Kids have become yet another victim of our lousy economy and of the denizens of Washington who won’t cooperate and do something to fix it.  The political scum of both parties who’s battle cry seems to be “They won’t let us fix it.”  The proverbial “they” has raised it’s ugly head in Washington yet again, when the truth is, both parties are too busy pushing their own agenda to actually compromise and cooperate and help the citizens of this country.  Remember this in November.  Kick ‘em all out.

I urge all of you to do what I am going to do.  I am disabled, on fixed income and having a hard time making ends meet, but I will give up something, a case of diet coke or a couple of packs of cigarettes or something, and take that money to a local charity and tell them “this is  for the kids.”  This entire season is for the kids and the kids are being denied the “Joy to the World” the song calls for.  They need help.  Let’s do it.

Thanksgiving

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone, and still our troops languish in the hinterlands of Afghanistan and Iraq.  Iraq is a done deal, our honored dead sold out by the leaders of our military, and Afghanistan is headed that way.  Our troops are saddled with “Rules of Engagement” that insure the struggle cannot be won, that all the American lives lost have been in vain and that Afghanistan will become another anti-American Muslim Brotherhood country.

Why is this, you ask?  It is because we have leaders of the military in the Pentagon who are cowards.  Who have never, themselves, heard a shot fired in anger, have never led troops in combat and who are worried more about dollars than lives.  We have Secretaries of the Armed Services who have never served as much as a day in uniform, we have an administration that is the same way and all of them have no pride or honor.  They are cowards.  They are “disabled.”  They have a yellow streak running up their backs.

Nothing more can be said about them.

Treason

OK, I have no research to prove any of this, but that seems never to stop the mainstream media, so here goes.

I wonder if we would be having so many terror and insurgency problems if we had won in Vietnam.  Korea was a draw, but Vietnam was the first war the United States actually lost.  Even though we had the North Vietnamese on the ropes (this can be proved by letters, interviews and government documents of the North Vietnamese government)  we lost the political will to carry the war to a victorious conclusion.  We had then, as we do now, leaders who can’t lead, a military hierarchy that is afraid of the political consequences if they allow their troops to fight to win, and a citizenry who are at best apathetic and at worst openly hostile to the efforts of the military even as poorly conceived as those efforts might be.

I had hopes that the, as I call it, Vietnam syndrome that had so horribly weakened the military leadership of the United States would be cured by our victory over Iraq, but, again, the political leadership did not have the intestinal fortitude to press that fight to its logical conclusion, which even further weakened the resolve of both the military and the citizenry of this Country.  And I lay this at the feet of the anti-war claque of the 1960’s.

Those anti-American, anti-military anti everything but their own profit (yes, folks, the leaders were supported by the Soviet government.  There are KGB documents to prove this) basically destroyed the faith of their generation in the United States and its military.  They made it impossible for this Country to press on to total victory.  These people meet the legal definition of traitors to their Country and should be tried as such, and if convicted, shot.  But that will never happen.  As seen in just the past few days,  our present leaders will take any path to peace, even though that path will lead to even more terrorism, death and destruction.

I have no hope any longer for the future of this Nation.

Crococile tears for Qadaffi

I see many of my fellow right-wing nut-jobs are upset that Qadaffi is dead and are blaming Obama.  Now, I personally think Obama is the biggest piece of garbage to sit in the Oval Office since Jimmy Carter, I think his birth certificate is a forgery (if it isn’t, why did he fight so hard to keep it secret?) I believe he is a secret practicing Muslim and I think that he is leading this country down the road to extinction.  But even I, with all my dislike for Obama, am not stupid enough to complain when his policies lead to the death of an enemy of our Country.  These same idiots also bitched when the two traitors who were killed in Yemen were done in (I won’t even try to spell their rag-head names.)  Another two enemies of our Country who are no longer a danger.  As far as I am concerned, Obama can just keep killing these human wastes of skin just as long as he wants to.

 

Anyone who thinks it’s a crying shame this garbage is being killed is an idiot.

Another war?

OK, now it’s just going too far.  Sixteen hundred troops to Africa “to aid in battle against Notorious Lord’s Resistance Army, help capture of its leader Joseph Kony”  but “not engage in conflict unless in self defense.”  Now doesn’t that sound like a recipe for more dead troops?  How can you aid in battle unless you fight?  Stand on the sidelines and yell “Go team?”

We have a nation  (Iran) that is engaging in acts of war against The United States and we are taking no action but we are sending troop to be killed in some backwater country against a street gang?  Give me a break.  As I have said before, this administration is a gathering of weasels.

I remember

I remember.  I remember where I was.  Sitting at my computer desk in my little corner of the bedroom, playing a video game and watching the “Today” show when Matt said that it had been reported that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.  Like millions of others, I assumed a small plane, single engine, little.  An accident.  I continued to play my game and keep one eye on the TV.  I was watching when the second plane hit.  I remember the shock, the horror, the anger.  I can still feel the rage bubbling up inside me.  We had been attacked by bearded, dirty, mouth-breathing barbarians who were not fit to remove our trash.  I remember wishing that I was younger and healthy so I could help hunt down the cowardly scum who had done this horrible act.  I remember thinking that even a crippled up old fart like me could pull a trigger.  Just point me in the right direction.  It wouldn’t be the first time.  I remember thinking that a clean death would be too good for these offspring of diseased pigs.  I remember feeling that they and their families needed to suffer as American families were suffering from their despicable acts.

Now ten years have gone by.  We have fought a war.  A poorly led, poorly conceived and poorly organized war led by people who did not learn the lessons of Vietnam.  By people who are too concerned with political outcomes to actually try to win.  And the rage continues.  Only with added targets now.

I remember.  I do not forgive.

Global Scamming

Yes, boys and girls, the climate is changing.  Parts of the Earth are getting warmer and other parts are getting colder.  Areas that were wet are now dry and those that were dry are now wet.  But guess what.  It’s a natural process.  It happens every few million years.  It is not the fault of the so-called greenhouse gasses or of man’s industries.  It is natural.

Al Gore and the global-warming nut-jobs are no more than scam artists, pushing their agenda to feather their own nests.  Anyone with the ability to read historical records and geological and climatological records and with an IQ somewhere above room temperature can see that.  Apparently Al Gore and those of his ilk are unable to do this, either that or they know the truth and are just working for their own self-aggrandizement and profit.  Enough crying wolf and stocks in so-called “Green” companies will skyrocket, or, I am sure, that is the hope of these profiteers.

Someone with many more resources and investigative ability than I have should be looking into this.  Our tax dollars are being scammed out of our pockets to fund these “Green” companies.  We need an investigation.  Now.

9/11 – 10th Anniversary

Really, Mr. Bloomburg?  There’s no room at the ceremony?  No room for those who rushed into the maelstrom that was the World Trade Center on 9/11/01?  No room for the heroes who tried to save lives?  Who risked their all while the “important” politicians and “community leaders” were safe at home, or perhaps quivering under their beds?  Where were you, Mr. Mayor?  By what right do you judge anyone’s fitness to be at this ceremony?  By what right do you decide that the heroes of 9/11 should not be there but the slackers and politicians and those who sup at the public trough should be?

Shame on you.

The Great Debate

Having watched Presidential politics for a lot of years, I thought maybe, just maybe, the Republican candidates might just possibly spend more time taking Mr. Obama to task for his failed policies and lack of leadership than they would heaping mud on each other.  I was wrong.

It seems to be a Republican disease that the candidates create more dissension in the ranks of the GOP than pointing out the failures of the opposing party.  I don’t know why this is, it seems totally stupid to me, but what do I know.  No one is giving me millions to run for President.   I think I could do at least as well as the candidates we have, and probably better than most.

I do know this.  I would spend more time taking aim at the policies of the Democrats than I would trashing members of my own party.

I am not impressed.
