Now we know

Now we know what his "future" means and what his "change" means.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said

His vision of the future is just like Jimmy Carter's. His glass is always half empty. Rather than looking for solutions that will raise all boats he wants to just keep slicing the pie into smaller and smaller pieces.

This man is an embarassment to the party of JFK, Truman FDR.

Bad day coming

When you walk out the door in the morning and see this in the sky...Just go back in the house, pour another cup of coffee, diet coke, or whatever, and stay there. It probably isn't going to be a good day....


My thanks to Mike L.

Call your Congressman

It's past the middle of May and still no hot weather. My cucumber seeds and okra seeds have rotted in the ground due to the cool very wet weather, yet our elected officials remain locked on to a problem that doesn't exist and are ready to give gasoline prices another jolt just so they can pander to the environmental wackos.

“[L]et me tell you what’s heading down the tracks,” Sessions said to BMI on May 14. “In a few weeks, we expect that the cap-and-trade legislation that’s been voted out of Sen. Barbara Boxer’s (D-Calif.) Environment and Public Works Committee will be on the floor and according to the Environmental Protection Agency it will increase gas prices by $1.50. The National Association of Manufacturers says it will increase it as much as $5 per gallon.”

Just think dear hearts. The range is an INCREASE from $1.50 to $5.00... If we split the difference that would be $2.75... that would run $4.00 gas to $6.75.

At what point does the economy collapse?? What in the blue eyed hell do the people we have elected think they are doing?? Well, let me tell you. They have a great retirement package, a wonderful health plan, their travel is paid for and they have great lunches in their in house cafeteria. Plainer. Most of them haven't a clue and too many don't give a flip. Worse. The problem is caused by laws THEY PASSED.

And the problem is not a problem. Even if it existed it would be a plus. Why do you think Greenland is called Greenland? It was GREEN! That means they could grow FOOD.

You know, FOOD. That stuff the Lefties one said of: "Food is."

And that's the problem. You have people so disconnected from reality they don't even recognize that food must be grown. Hell, they even think it wouldn't be picked if it wasn't for cultural sojourners.

And in the meantime, along with the no increase in temperature for 10 years, the 29th coldest winter in 114 years we find another scientist who is backing away from his previously over stated claims.

WASHINGTON - Global warming isn't to blame for the recent jump in hurricanes in the Atlantic, concludes a study by a prominent federal scientist whose position has shifted on the subject.

Not only that, warmer temperatures will actually reduce the number of hurricanes in the Atlantic and those making landfall, research meteorologist Tom Knutson reported in a study

Anybody care to guess why this report was released late on Sunday???

Can you say: "The editors want this buried, boys and girls?"

Click on this linkand call your Senators. Call your Representative. Tell them you are tired of being worried sick over losing your job because of the price of oil. Tell them that GW is a theory that is falling apart. Tell them that if they don't pass laws that enable immediate drilling for oil you will vote against them come November no matter if you have to write in your dog's name.

Go ahead. Take 15 minutes this morning and tell them that your are GD tired of their BS and demand they start being part of the solution instead of always the problem.

Dutch leave western civilization

You didn't see this on your TV."

The Dutch authorities have arrested the cartoonist Gregorius Nekschot (a pseudonym. Nekschot means deathblow, litt: “shot in the back of the neck” [An interview with Nekschot here]). The judicial authorities in Amsterdam said yesterday that the cartoonist was arrested as a suspect for the criminal offense of “publishing cartoons which are discriminating for Muslims and people with dark skin.”

What a shame that a once great people, people who fought the huge Spainish empire to a draw... have given in to Sharia Law.

As spokeswoman of Xtra, Nekschot’s publisher, said today: “He was arrested with a great show of force, by around 10 policemen.” The spokeswoman asked that her name not be used because the cartoonist and publisher have received death threats. Nekschot told the Dutch newspaper Het Parool today that police officers had told him: “What you draw is worse than what they did in Denmark. Do you realize what can happen to you if your identity gets known?” The cartoonist fears for his live if he is being sent to jail. “As the maker of those cartoons my life is in danger in prison,” he said.

Pew Poll - Suicide bombers

WASHINGTON – One in four younger U.S. Muslims said in a poll that suicide bombings to defend their religion are acceptable at least in some circumstances, though most Muslim Americans overwhelmingly reject the tactic and are critical of Islamic extremism and al-Qaeda.

I am hopeful there is a fair amount of bravado in the results,but given the planned attacks on Fort Dix and the attacks in England and Scotland by native Muslims, I must admit that I just don't know.

The issue sweeps across religious lines and cultural lines. I think assimilation is hampered by several key issues.

In the past the immigrants had no effective means of keeping in touch with friends and families in the old country. Mail was slow and uncertain and telephone was expensive. Now we have the Internet and very cheap voice communications.

There wasn't a lot of "culture" from the old country. Sure there would be a local newspaper in the native tongue and the "church." But now we have multiple newspapers, radio stations and TV networks.

There was no bi-lingual education. The student was taught in English and pushed by society to speak/write English. To not do so was unacceptable and looked down on.
Now we have bi-lingual education and the norm has become that we must be bi-lingual.
That may be a good thing where there is no push to assimilate a smaller group into a larger, but it sends the wrong message when the goal is assimilation.

The "churches" pushed religion, and not politics. That is no longer true. See the Rev Wright and Farrakhan for two of the less, BION radical examples. See the statements made by many Islamic Imams for more drastic examples.

So we have an existing culture that does not seek to dominate the new arrivals. That is a formula for creating a group of people who are ambivalent about who they should support, and who are ripe to be controlled by installing a false sense of shame in their good fortune and demands they react to perceived attacks on their "real" religion and culture.

To further complicate the issue, Islam has a very rigid set of laws, Sharia laws, that are entwined and part of the belief system.

Islam does not have a "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" directive or component.

Because of this, at some point, Islam will have to reform and totally accept secular law, or it will need to be looked as a political program instead of a religion. To do otherwise will further impress many that western civilization is weak.

Power abhors weakness and will always rush into take its place.

Illegal aliens in Postville, Iowa

"I like my job. I like my work. I like it here in Iowa," said Escobedo, 38, an illegal immigrant from Yescas, Mexico, who has raised his three children for 11 years in Postville. "Are they mad because I'm working?"

Well yes. Yes I am.

I am angry because you broke our laws and entered the country illegally.

I am angry because you took a job, most likely at a lower price and with worse working conditions, than a US citizen would. And because of that you have depressed the wages and worsened the working conditions of millions of US citizens.

I am angry because you, after doing the above, want to complain about being caught.

I am angry because you don't seem to understand any of the above.

I am also angry at our government letting your employer get away with hiring you, and not severely punishing them.

I am also angry at the state and local government who had to have known the situation, doing nothing.

I am happy when I read this:

At St. Bridget's Catholic Church, Eduardo Santos, 27, who came from Guatemala and lost two of his fingers working at the factory, said the raid was "fair . . . but it's bad for everybody. There's no work." He plans to go home.

I am disgusted when I see the article's author, Spencer S. Hsu, bring in a irrelevant point... the loss of Santos' fingers in an attempt to slant the story. Hsu's bias becomes obvious.

Freedom of speech

This is an interview on Danish TV. I picked it up from Gates of Vienna.

The TV announcers do not speak English. Those being interviewed do. Watch the whole thing. It isn't an easy watch but it comes from a place that the Muslims are currently over running. Listen to what is said. Especially by the "ordinary citizens" who note that they must now be careful what they say.

The issue now is freedom of speech. The next will be freedom of religion. The next will be separation of church and state. The next will be state sponsored schools that teach Islam, although we have seen that already in San Diegi and Minneapolis/St Paul. The next will be the right for Muslims to not follow secular laws if secular laws violate Sharia law. See the Minneapolis airport cab drivers refusing ton carry dogs and people with alcohol.

Now is the time to speak out.
