I found this in a comment section of a website. It is a letter from a school teacher in The Socialist Republic of California.
This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet.
This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent
From a California school teacher - - -
"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic
and income levels
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc.. where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..
(OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK)
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas" (whores ) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc, etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and anAmerican culture that has become so weak and worried about"political correctness " that we don't have the will to do anything about it.
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressmen and Senators.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't want expensive produce.
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth ,
a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for
$5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no
income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return,
he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps..
He qualifies for free (no deductible),
no co-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills...
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at
(our) taxpayer's expense .
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.
Working Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND his.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!
THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'
WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE

How to Solve Illegal Immigration
This so damn simple I am ashamed for not thinking of it sooner. While talking to a friend of mine today I experienced an epiphany. Here is the solution:
Catch every illegal we can. When we have enough (which shouldn't take long), put'em on a bus to
Washington, D.C. Imagine, hundreds of buses from each of 15 or twenty states all going to D.C.!
Confiscate all the drugs and guns.
When they arrive at the Beltway, give them back the guns and drugs and let them go. Maybe in front of the Justice Department would be a good place, "Y'all enjoy the weather now, hear?"
This plan has numerous advantages. The locals no would longer have to foot the bill for jail and food, crime would drop, the word would get out not to come here so the problem over time would diminish, it would free up the court systems, the FEDS would have to deal with the problem that they have refused to acknowledge.
The illegals get a free bus trip anyway- just not to where they had planned.
The only problem I can foresee is that D.C. already has so many criminals (some wearing suits), it may take the illegals a while to get noticed.

BARACK OBAMA
THE WHITE HOUSE,June 9, 2011.
This is the U.N.’s AGENDA 21 in disguise!This is but one more step to surrender the sovereignty of the United States to the PUKES at the United Nations. Several organizations (some funded by George Soros) are pushing this agenda.
If allowed to continue YOU WILL LOSE YOUR BIRTHRIGHT AS AN AMERICAN!
What is Agenda 21? If you do not know about it, you should.
Agenda 21 is a two-decade old, grand plan for global ’Sustainable Development,’ brought to you from the United Nations. George H.W. Bush (and 177 other world leaders) agreed to it back in 1992, and in 1995, Bill Clinton signed Executive Order #12858, creating a Presidential Council on ‘Sustainable Development.’ This effectively pushed the UN plan into America’s large, churning government machine without the need for any review or discussion by Congress or the American people.
‘Sustainable Development’ sounds like a nice idea, right? It sounds nice, until you scratch the surface and find that Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development are really cloaked plans to impose the tenets of Social Justice/Socialism on the world.
At risk from Agenda 21;
- Private Property ownership
- Single-Family homes
- Private car ownership and individual travel choices
- Privately owned farms
Land… cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. The provision of decent dwellings and healthy conditions for the people can only be achieved if land is used in the interest of society as a whole.
There are two more, very good reasons to be wary of Agenda 21 and the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) that supports it: George Soros and the United Nations. Soros money has been tracked to funding parts of ICLEI ;In 1997, George Soros’s Open Society gave ICLEI a $2,147,415 grant to support its Local Agenda 21 Project
As regards the UN, that organization‘s problems with America’s appreciation of freedom and self-determination is one that needs no explanation.Here are some quotes that you may find interesting:
Revealing Quotes From the Planners
“Agenda 21 proposes an array of actions which are intended to be implemented by EVERY person on Earth…it calls for specific changes in the activities of ALL people… Effective execution of Agenda 21 will REQUIRE a profound reorientation of ALL humans, unlike anything the world has ever experienced… ” Agenda 21: The Earth Summit Strategy to Save Our Planet (Earthpress, 1993). Emphases – DR
Urgent to implement – but we don’t know what it is!
“The realities of life on our planet dictate that continued economic development as we know it cannot be sustained…Sustainable development, therefore is a program of action for local and global economic reform – a program that has yet to be fully defined.” The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, published by ICLEI, 1996.
“No one fully understands how or even, if, sustainable development can be achieved; however, there is growing consensus that it must be accomplished at the local level if it is ever to be achieved on a global basis.” The Local Agenda 21 Planning Guide, published by ICLEI, 1996.
Agenda 21 and Private Property
“Land…cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth, therefore contributes to social injustice.” From the report from the 1976 UN’s Habitat I Conference.
“Private land use decisions are often driven by strong economic incentives that result in several ecological and aesthetic consequences…The key to overcoming it is through public policy…” Report from the President’s Council on Sustainable Development, page 112.
“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work air conditioning, and suburban housing are not sustainable.” Maurice Strong, Secretary General of the UN’s Earth Summit, 1992.
Reinvention of Government
“We need a new collaborative decision process that leads to better decisions, more rapid change, and more sensible use of human, natural and financial resources in achieving our goals.” Report from the President’s Council on Sustainable Development
“Individual rights will have to take a back seat to the collective.” Harvey Ruvin, Vice Chairman, ICLEI. The Wildlands Project
“We must make this place an insecure and inhospitable place for Capitalists and their projects – we must reclaim the roads and plowed lands, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres or presently settled land.” Dave Foreman, Earth First.
What is not sustainable?
Ski runs, grazing of livestock, plowing of soil, building fences, industry, single family homes, paves and tarred roads, logging activities, dams and reservoirs, power line construction, and economic systems that fail to set proper value on the environment.” UN’s Biodiversity Assessment Report.
Hide Agenda 21’s UN roots from the people
“Participating in a UN advocated planning process would very likely bring out many of the conspiracy- fixated groups and individuals in our society… This segment of our society who fear ‘one-world government’ and a UN invasion of the United States through which our individual freedom would be stripped away would actively work to defeat any elected official who joined ‘the conspiracy’ by undertaking LA21. So we call our process something else, such as comprehensive planning, growth management or smart growth.” J. Gary Lawrence, advisor to President Clinton’s Council on Sustainable Development.

Fixing the Economy
Okay folks, let's fix the economy. The biggest problems are :
A. The Deficit
B. Housing is in the toilet.
C. Inflation
D. Unemployment
Let me first state that we are Americans. There is nothing we can not do if we decide to do it.
The deficit and related payments are sucking the economy dry. Money that could be used in this country to improve the life of Americans is being shipped overseas at an alarming rate. First we must curb reckless, devil may care spending policies. Some politicos want a balanced budget amendment. Frankly, I doubt that is what we need.
Some debt is needed for growth. I have personally been on a "pay as you go" cash basis and I have had an above average credit rating. On a cash basis, buying the things you want or need sometimes had to wait. If I wanted a car, I had to save for it thus delaying the purchase vs. borrowing the money and buying it now. How long would it take the average person to save enough to buy a $30,000 car or a $100,000 house? The car would be worn out and in the junk yard by the time you had saved again to replace it. No, You need debt in order to grow.
The Treasury has already had trouble selling US Treasury Bonds, thus the advent of "Quantitative Easing I and II. This is where the government bought its own bonds! Taking money out of the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket. Makes no sense what so ever! It is a shill game!
Instead of balancing the budget lets limit the US debt to a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Today the debt is about 36% of GDP. We are borrowing $0.40 of every dollar the government spends. Lets cut that to around $0.10 of every dollar.
To do that we must cut spending. We have God knows how many duplicate programs in the government. For example, we have 35 different agencies in the intelligence area (then why are we so dumb?).
Do away with the TSA. This agency is not needed and it's functions can easily be absorbed by other agencies where truly needed, For instance, let the FBI monitor terrorists, let the FAA worry about airport security, and let the Coast Guard handle port security, These agencies already do some of this so why do we need the TSA?
Lets eliminate the EPA and consolidate some of its function to the Interior department. After all, is not air quality or water or wildlife within the US an interior problem?
Former Senator Everette Dirkson stated about the budget "...a billion here and a billion there, pretty soon it all adds up."
We can also raise revenue. The "rich" already pay more than their fair share. If we are going to tax anyone, lets get some tax money from the 48% that pay nothing. Hello? Anyone listening? Close some loop holes. Why should one be able to deduct the interest on a motorhome as a second home? There are more people living in their cars than in motorhomes, yet they can not deduct their car as a second home! Large boats and yachts as a second home? NO WAY! Look at the Child Tax Credit. A lot of people get more back as a tax refund than they pay in. Stop it! If you pay in $4000.00, you do not get back $8000.00. You can not get back more than you pay in.
It is time for a flat pay as you go sales tax with NO income tax in individuals.
Housing is in the toilet because of liars, cheats and thieves. Low interest rates and easy money sucked everyone in. Home buyers lied on their loan application - throw them in jail, it is a CRIME to falsify a legal document. Bankers approved loans without proper documentation and verification of the facts. Throw them in jail for "breach of fiduciary duty" - also a crime.
Go ahead and foreclose on delinquent property owners or renegotiate the contract, Clear out the clutter and stop all this government bailout BS and then raise the interest rates on housing! In every housing down turn there are thousands of buyers waiting to buy in when the rates hit bottom. This would signal the bottom has been found and folks would start buying. If you are a senior and your home is paid off, no property taxes. The home is truly yours!
Inflation is insidious and the government is manipulating the data. Real life inflation is food, gas, insurance, clothing, utilities, etc. all of which the government does not include when it calculates "core inflation". Uncle Sam wants you to stay stupid! Inflation has two root causes, the first is excess demand, the second is currency devaluation. There is no excess demand therefore currency devaluation is the culprit.
From a previous post:
Fed monetary policy is killing us. All commodities are priced in US dollars. The Fed needed money for debt service, Obummer’s heath care bill, bailouts, buying car companies, and all the imaginary “shovel ready” projects. What did they do? The Fed just fired up the presses and printed more money! Imagine the dollar is a piece of a pie. The pie has 10 slices and sells for $10.00. Your slice of the pie is therefore is worth a dollar. Now here comes the geniuses at the Fed and from nowhere doubles the number of pie slices (dollars). Since each slice is now ½ the original size, your dollar (slice) is worth ½ of what it was. There are two choices. The pie must now sell for $20 dollars to maintain the original value of your slice or continue to sell the pie for $10.00 and accept that your slice is now worth $0.50 cents. Either way, you lose.
We can fix the dollar's value, we just haven't. Stop the printing presses!
Everything said previously revolves around employment. The real problem is that no job means no money which means no buying which leads to no demand which leads to no jobs or layoffs (I know it is a run on sentence and grammatically incorrect). This problem is not hard to fix.
Start by giving every company a tax credit, say $5000.00, for hiring a new full time employee in the USA.
Give them $1500.00 for a part time employee. More people working (and paying taxes) would offset any lost revenue to the Feds PLUS increase demand which would require more hiring.
Give generous tax incentives for new businesses. How about NO TAXES for first 3 years?
Get the government out of the way, turn us loose! There are other things that can be done. What is important is to unleash the American spirit!
In closing this post I will say that we are the most productive, most innovative, and hardest working people in the world. Get the hell out of the way and watch what we do!

C. Inflation
D. Unemployment

More on Light Bulbs
It seems that one of the companies that is due to reap great rewards from the phasing out of incandecent light bulbs is Cree Lighting. Big hoopla with all the politicos, a green company and all of that BS.
Yep, their company, my green..
It seems that Cree got 50 million in government loans, grants and tax credits to help build the LED bulbs that the tree huggers covet so much. With all of this influx of cash, they built a plant in China and hired Chinese labor and you and I, the dumbass American Taxpayer, footed the bill.
Hey Cree.........Thanks Assholes!

Weiner's Weinie
It seems that nobody in congress is especially pissed about the (D-NY) golden boy Anthony Weiner antics on the internet. They are pissed that he LIED! I did not know a politician would lie - stupid me.
Anyway, if the man's " package" is as big as his ego or his nose, he should be proud of it!
And why would any of those hypocrites in Congress be offended by a lie. If that were the case, Obummer would have been impeached on the first day of office.
Get to work....Assholes!

Well folks, the President has stated he was not afraid of a double dip recession. Why should he worry? He gets to fly around on a private 747, live free in a mansion, have a huge staff to do all of the grunt work, ride around in a limo, and makes 400 grand a year. Hell, I would not worry about the peons either!
I'm just one of the peons that get to pay for it.

Boeing aircraft v. The NLRB and Unions
Boeing Aircraft: The Machinist Union has filed suit against Boeing Aircraft because they built a plant in South Carolina that plans to use non-union labor.
I understand that Boeing talked with the union before the decision was made to try to work out a deal, but the union said “screw you”. Now the union is whining (as they all do) because they did not get their way.
I, for one, am damned glad they want to keep a plant in the US and hire American labor. I guess they could have built plants in Mexico and Canada like the “American” car companies.
The fact that Boeing has already invested hundreds of millions of dollars seems to make no difference to these morons. The pro union NLRB, which is supposed to be neutral, is hearing the case on behalf of the Unions demanding that Boeing hire union members.
Damn, I thought if I wanted to work I could. If I wanted to join a union, I could. If I wanted to tell the Federal government to “shove it”, I could.
Since when does the Federal government get off telling a private company who they can hire and where they can build a plant?

The Presidents Czars
May 21, 2011
I will admit that the President should have access to anyone he wants to serve as an advisor. A President needs all of the good advice he can get. BUT these advisors should not have any rule making authority. Their job should be solely to advise the President and have no administration function or authority. They also should not be paid except for time and expenses when “on call”.
What Obummer needs is a “Screw Up Czar” to help him out of the hot water he stays in. This “Czar” should own a cat to help cover up the crap.
I believe in “Hope and Change”. I hope there is a change

The New Light Bulb Fiasco
May 19, 2011
Here we go again. Congress has mandated that to save energy, the incandescent light bulb must go. We will have to convert to fluorescent (CFL) bulbs. Which company bribed Congress? I am all for conservation and protecting the environment as long as it is sensible, economical, and convenient. This is none of those.
CFL bulbs have mercury in them. If one of the CFL bulbs breaks, you are supposed to leave the room immediately, open the windows and doors (don’t break one in Phoenix on a 110 degree day) and ventilate the area. Then put on a mask, sweep up the mess, put the thing in a plastic bag, seal the bag and “properly” dispose of it. No one has said what they are going to do with the Mercury in the damn thing.
LED bulbs hold great promise. They produce a good quality light, use very little energy, last a long time and have no mercury. The LEDs cost around $50.00 each. I have 15 bulbs in my apartment. That means I will have to spend $750.00 to replace my existing bulbs. What are these folks smoking?
By the way, did you know that (some) of the smoke alarms in your house have radioactive chips in them?
You are supposed to return them to the Atomic energy Commission if they break or wear out. Yet, the building codes REQUIRE that you have these little radioactive buggers.
By the way, do you have any mutant children running about? If you do, send them to the AEC with the smoke detector!
Hey Congress! Thanks Assholes!
Foriegn Policy. You Mean We Have One?
May 19, 2011
Israel: President Obummer is a dumbass! For now, let’s look at what he did today. He showed his sympathy for the Muslims and his disdain for the Israelis. Yep, he showed his Muslim roots.
He said that for peace in the Mideast to happen, Israel must give up the territory it won in past wars. HUH? Wars, all of which, Israel did not start.
So now, our dumbass president wants to let the terrorist move closer to Israel so they can more accurately shoot Katusha rockets at schools and playgrounds. Is it any wonder that the US is held in contempt by most other countries?
We do not keep our word, we do not help our friends, we change policies to suit us without warning or consultation, and we turn on our friends when it suits us.
Is it any wonder that given Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, and now Israel that the conclusion is that in the Mid-East, is that it may not pay to be our buddy. At least if you are our enemy, you will know where you stand!
(By the way, did you know that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was a member of an organization that supported the PLO when she was in college? Did you know that she has had her picture taken making nice with PLO leader (now deceased) Yassar Arrafat?
Did you know that she was on the Board of Directors of a foundation that gave loans to the PLO and personally recommended a few of those loans? Did you know that Hillary advises the dumbass in the White House?)
Meanwhile, the countries that make no secret about hating the USA are given a free pass. Iran, Syria and Libya get trade sanctions, big deal. They get whatever they want from Russia, China, France and Germany anyway.
Thanks Asshole!
Libya: Speaking of Libya, Libya’s Quadaffi is a son of a bitch that hates the US and we try to make nice with this murderer. We should have taken him out years ago. Now the rebels want our help to get rid of this SOB and we ho-hum about it. Yep, we help our friends.
The Libyan government, after we discovered oil there, drilled all of the oil wells, built the refineries, built the shipping ports, decided they owned all of that stuff. They kicked the US out and nationalized the oil infrastructure. Overnight, all that now belonged to the Libyan state. We should have blown up everything we built, plugged or blown up the wells and the ports and left nothing to sell but scrap metal. Let the bastards eat sand!
Much later, we find out that Libya was behind the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 that killed over 200 Americans. Not only did Libya mastermind the bombing, but gave safe haven to the assholes who did the dirty work. We should have eliminated the bastard then. But no, we felt the need to negotiate!
How’s this for a Libyan policy, “Hey Asshole, we missed you the first time but we are coming back. You figure out when.”
Thanks Assholes!
Your Fat Ass!
May 14, 2011
Obesity: Now the damn government and more specifically The First Lady, seems to think we are all fat and obese. A little advice – Lady, your ass is as wide as a dump truck, you might try cutting down on those $600.00 lunches before you tell the school systems what they can and can not serve for lunch. Now we are gonna have a Soda Tax to discourage the little kiddies from buying sodas.
Thanks Asshole!
Osama v. Obama
May 13, 2011
Did you wonder why for years Bin Laden’s first name was “OSAMA” and recently has been changed (in the media) to “USAMA”? Reckon they did not want to confuse the America hating camel jockey with the America President. Good Luck with that.
To the Ass Kissing liberal media.......Thanks Assholes!

The Texas "No Fly Zone"
May 12, 2011
The Texas Legislature was set to pass a law that the TSA could not pat you down (which IS unconstitutional) at airports. The Feds told Texas that if they did that, the Feds would close all of the airports in Texas (declare a no-fly zone) and not send any more money (most of it yours).
A “No Fly Zone! Are they kidding? No Fly Zones I thought were reserved for Iraq and Libya.
Texas caved, dammit. I wonder what would have happened if Texas had told the Feds “close our airports and we will turn off the oil, gas, coal, gas taxes collected, wheat, cotton, petrochemicals, etc. and we will secede.
To the NEO-Nazis in the TSA........Just do without us Assholes!

Oil Company Subsidies
May 11, 2011
Now the gutless wonders of Congress want to cut “subsidies” to oil companies. The biggest subsidy they are talking about is the oil depletion allowance. This allowance is not money paid from the treasury like the bank bailouts or the money paid to farmers, this is simply revenue the IRS did not collect because it is a tax credit. Now let’s think about this. Farmers get paid by check, (REAL money!) for not planting crops (farming the mail box), every business gets to take depreciation (depletion allowance) on cars, trucks, desks, fax machines, buildings, computers, etc. The difference is that farm land is still usable, as are desks, buildings, fax machines, etc. But OIL, once pumped to the surface and refined, is gone forever! For every barrel of oil pumped, the company is a barrel of oil closer to putting itself out of business. Now consider the fact that without a tax credit (depletion allowance) the cost to produce a barrel of oil rises dramatically. Guess who is going to pay for that? We are of course..again.
This is from www.energytomorrow.org:
In the long run, the negative economic consequences of higher taxes more than offset any short-term tax revenue gains. An additional $5 billion in new, annual taxes — similar to what’s been proposed by the Administration, or some in Congress —could actually decrease cumulative government revenue by $128 billion by 2025 according to an economic analysis by Wood Mackenzie. And even worse, higher taxes could result in the loss of tens of thousands of jobs between now and 2025. Right around the corner, in 2014 alone, we’d lose 170,000 of these jobs.
There is a better way than saddling a troubled economy with new taxes and fees that hurt consumers and workers. The oil and natural gas industry should be allowed to develop the vast energy resources that belong to the American people. If we open areas that are currently off-limits to development, we could create more than 500,000 jobs throughout the economy and generate an additional $150 billion in government revenue by 2025.

God Bless Seal Team 6
May 7, 2011
What a week! Uncle Sam finally got Bin Laden, great job Seal Team 6! Now here come all of apologists.
The code work “Geronimo” has offended the American Indians. I guess we could have used “Banzai” but that would piss off the Japs. We could have used “blitzkrieg” and pissed off the Germans. We could have used “good show” and pissed off the Brits. We could have used “sho-nuff” and pissed off the blacks or “Viva Estados Unidos” and pissed off the Mexicans. The list is endless. I guess it is better to piss off a few thousand Indians than a few million of the others.
Another thing that has come up is the use of “enhanced” interrogation” techniques. The question has been, “Is this (enhanced interrogation) humane?” If these procedures work, use them. If it saves an American life, use it, if the UN doesn’t like it, use it more!
Now the UN wants to investigate the killing of OBL. What? This is the group that puts
Iran heading up the Human Rights council. Give me a break! We were not nice. No fair trial. Tough shit! He got the same type of trial that 3000 other people got on 9/11. Any questions?
Thanks Assholes and GOD BLESS SEAL TEAM 6!!
Crock of Crap # 1 -Global Warming:
It ain’t happening. Scientists admit to manipulating the data to fit the desired result. E-mails obtained confirm it. Ice core drilling in Greenland, Iceland, the Arctic and Antarctic suggests that the earth naturally undergoes heating and cooling cycles every few thousand years. If the ice cap is melting, as some say it is, then why are the sea levels DECREASING? If the earth is warming and the ice is melting, why were airplanes that crash landed in WWII in Greenland found under 300 ft. of ice? Should they not have been sitting above the ice? Why was this winter one of the worst (more snow and sub-freezing temps) since records have been kept? Al Gore and his buddies are simply cashing in on the hysteria and the lies propagated by the UN.
“Please remain calm: The Earth will heal itself -- Climate is beyond our power to control...Earth doesn't care about governments or their legislation. You can't find much actual global warming in present-day weather observations. Climate change is a matter of geologic time, something that the earth routinely does on its own without asking anyone's permission or explaining itself.” -- Nobel Prize-Winning Stanford University Physicist Dr. Robert B. Laughlin, who won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1998, and was formerly a research scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
“Those who call themselves 'Green planet advocates' should be arguing for a CO2- fertilized atmosphere, not a CO2-starved atmosphere...Diversity increases when the planet was warm AND had high CO2 atmospheric content...Al Gore's personal behavior supports a green planet - his enormous energy use with his 4 homes and his bizjet, does indeed help make the planet
greener. Kudos, Al for doing your part to save the planet.” -- Renowned engineer and aviation/space pioneer Burt Rutan,
“The whole idea of anthropogenic global warming is completely unfounded. There appears to have been money gained by Michael Mann, Al Gore and UN IPCC's Rajendra Pachauri as a consequence of this deception, so it's fraud.” -- South African astrophysicist Hilton Ratcliffe, a member of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa (ASSA) and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific and a Fellow of the British Institute of Physics.
Hey Al! Thanks Asshole.
Crock of Crap #2 - Cap and Trade (aka Cap and Tax)
Global Warming ties directly to “cap and trade”. Earth is supposedly heating up so cut greenhouse gasses or tax them (i.e.: carbon emission permits). The truth is that it is OK to put as much crap in the air as you want to as long as you are willing to pay for it. The Kyoto Treaty (sponsored by the U.N.) basically said that everyone would cut carbon emissions. The USA did not sign it and with good reason. The huge carbon emitters such as Zimbabwe, Sudan, Ethiopia and such wanted to sell their permits to pollute to the USA while China, Russia, India, and the like laughed their collective asses off because they had to do nothing to break the back of the US economy. As of right now, the Chicago Board of Trade (among others) has a trading desk for these permits. Organized crime has already infiltrated these markets and there are several investigations going on, mostly in Europe.
NOTE: The U.S. Congress is considering taxing the flatulence from cows. A COW FART TAX! Of course, the farmer pays the tax (as they do in parts of Europe and Scandinavia), and you, the consumer pay for all of this at the market. Enjoy your steak.
Hey Obummer! Thanks Asshole.
Crock of Crap #2 - Gas Prices
Wish I had said that: “If you voted for Obummer in 2008 to prove you weren’t a racist, you’ll have to vote for someone else in 2012 to prove you’re not an idiot.”
Gas prices today are a result of several factors. Among these are the failure of the Department of Energy to do its’ mandated job, failure to allow the development of domestic fuel sources, Federal monetary policies, and speculation in the commodity market. Let’s have a look.
- Lack of a US energy policy. Oh please! Jimmy Carter set up the US Department
of Energy to get the USA off its dependence on foreign oil. When the Arabs (OPEC) cut off imports in the 70’s, the U.S. imported about 30% off its oil. But today we import about 60% of our oil. We had a windfall profits tax, different prices for “old oil” and “new oil”, and EPA regulations that would choke a horse. Yet, to this day we discourage domestic production. Had the DOE done its’ job, we would be importing NO OIL today!
The Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) holds great promise, but yet the tree huggers raise hell about drilling there. If ANWR were the size of the continental USA, the area in ANWR proposed for drilling is about the size of Rhode Island. The wildlife adapt and there are no trees to hug. Drill!
There are drilling leases in New Mexico that are not being explored because of a damned lizard. The animal lovers insist that this lizard “might be” affected by having to crawl over disturbed earth and pipelines. I grew up among the lizards in West Texas and I have seen them everywhere man has been. On oil leases, on pipelines, on paved roads, on dirt roads, on well sites, on trash cans, in alleyways, on brick fences and on the sides of houses. The hawks kill more lizards that man does. Folks, if you do not step on them or shoot them, they will be fine. Drill!
What the hell happened Jimmy? Thanks Asshole
- Fed monetary policy is killing us. All commodities are priced in US dollars. The Fed needed money for debt service, Obummer’s heath care bill, bailouts, buying car companies, and all the imaginary “shovel ready” projects. What did they do? The Fed just fired up the presses and printed more money! Imagine the dollar is a piece of a pie. The pie has 10 slices and sells for $10.00. Your slice of the pie is therefore is worth a dollar. Now here comes the geniuses at the Fed and from nowhere doubles the number of pie slices (dollars). Since each slice is now ½ the original size, your dollar (slice) is worth ½ of what it was. There are two choices. The pie must now sell for $20 dollars to maintain the original value of your slice or continue to sell the pie for $10.00 and accept that your slice is now worth $0.50 cents.
Speaking of the Fed, why were banks that were in trouble were told to simply add some zeroes to their balance sheets at the Fed! They did not even bother to print any money! I wish I could simply add some zeroes to MY bank account balances! While on the subject, why in the hell is our National Federal Bank (with your dollars) making loans in the billions to foreign banks?
Atta boy Ben Bernanke!……..Thanks Asshole!
- Misguided “Energy" Experts
Well folks, we are sitting on a sea of energy. Oil, gas and coal are abundant. It
would be easy (and relatively cheap) to convert fuel burning cars and coal fired generating plants to natural gas. We have more energy than all of the Middle East combined, yet we send billions to our no so friendly friends. The Obummer administration has made it impossible to look for new sources while giving subsidies to “green energy” companies. (By the way, if wind, solar, electric cars are such a great deal, why do they need subsidies? If these ideas were worth a damn, private enterprise would already be doing it and for less money.)
Also, the Obummer Energy Secretary Chu has stated he would like to see gas at $10.00 per gallon or at least on par with Europe ($5-$6 per gallon) so people would be forced to use these “green” technologies. We have this week heard that speculators are driving the price of crude upwards. They certainly contribute to the problem but the solution is simple according to an economist at TCU. Simply make the speculators take delivery of the oil. Speculators are simply buying a contract that they will sell later. The speculators would be gone overnight and the price of crude oil drops dramatically.
So there you have it. The failure of the Dept. of Energy to do it’s mandated job, Obummer’s anti domestic oil policies, the Fed’s monetary policies and speculators that bid the price up only because they are really greedy bastards that trade paper, not real oil.
