There's a computer world phenomenon
known as blog. It started as a
compilation of comments in no apparent
order in what appears as continual words
of wit or wisdom or wisecracks. My
commentary and links may not quite be
blog but close enough, so here goes.

HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN THREE SHORT PARAGRAPHS
Over five thousand years ago,
Moses said to the children of Israel: Pick up your
shovel, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you
to the promised land.
Nearly 75 years ago Roosevelt said: Lay down your
shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a camel; this
is the promised land.
Now, Obama has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses,
raised the price of camels and mortgaged the promised
land.

Nightmare...
This has
probably happened to you too, right? ... or Left?
In my nightmare I found myself nude
in bed. I was looking at a mirror on the ceiling and I
discovered that I am a Negro ... and I'm circumcised!
Quickly I sat up, found my pants and
looked in the pockets to find my driver's license photo
... it was that same color, Black!
I felt myself being very depressed,
downcast, sitting in a chair ... But it's a wheelchair!!
That means, of course, besides being
black and Jewish, I'm also disabled!!!
I said to myself... aloud, "This is
impossible. It's impossible that I should be black and
Jewish and disabled."
"It's
the pure and holy truth", whispers someone from behind
me. I turn around and it's my boyfriend, Jimenez ...
Just what I needed!!!
Now, I'm a homosexual and on top of
that have a Mexican boyfriend!
Oh, my God..... Black, Jewish,
disabled, gay, with a Mexican boyfriend, no doubt I'm a
drug addict and HIV-positive!!!
Desperate, I begin to shout, cry, try
to pull my hair out ... Oh, nooooo... I'm freaking
bald!!!
Then the telephone rings... it's my brother.
He's saying, "Since mom and dad died
the only thing you do is hang out, take drugs and lay
around all day doing nothin'! Get a job, you worthless
piece of crap... any job.!"
Mom?... Dad?... Nooooooooo... Now,
I'm also an unemployed orphan!
I try to explain to my brother how
hard it is to find a job when you are black, Jewish,
disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, are a drug
addict, HIV positive, bald AND an orphan! But he
doesn't get it. Frustrated, I hang up.
It's then I realize .... I only have
one hand!!!
With tears in my eyes I go to the
window and look out.
I see I live in a shanty-town full of cardboard and tin
houses! There is trash everywhere.
Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker....
Pacemaker?
Besides being a disabled Jewish
Negro, a fairy with a Mexican boyfriend, an HIV positive
drug addict, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with
one hand and a bad heart, I find out I even live in a
crappy neighborhood!
At that very moment my boyfriend
approaches and says to me, "Sweetie pie, my love, my
little black heart throb, have you decided what you are
going to wear to Washington to see Obama?"
Say it isn't so!!! I can handle being
a black, disabled, one armed, drug addicted, Jewish
homosexual on a pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald,
orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has a Mexican
boyfriend.....
But please, oh dear God, please don't
tell me I'm a ....
Democrat!!

Something to
Ponder
I don’t know who wrote this piece about the
“Change” that has been happening in America but the
logic and the history lesson should be heeded.
I could have written it because I feel the same
way, uneasy and questioning … why?
Why is the Country I grew up in so different from
the memories of my youth fifty years ago?
Is it Progress … or are we simply repeating the
dark side of history?
David Petronis … 26 October 2009
The Observation … Anonymous.
I have come to think
there is something monumentally large afoot and I do not
believe it is simply a banking crisis, or a mortgage
crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist but they are
merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is
only now coming into a sharper focus…
Something of
historic proportions is happening. I can sense it
because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like
and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be
brewing but there is something happening within our
country that has been evolving for about ten to fifteen
years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past
two.
We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our banks make
massive loans to people we know they can never pay back?
Why?
We learned just days ago that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no
real oversight by anyone, has "loaned" two trillion
dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few
months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose
the terms. That is our money; yours and mine. And that
is three times the $700 billion we all argued about so
strenuously just this past September 2008. Who has this
money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms
unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it?
I thought this was a government of "we the people," who
loaned our powers to our elected leaders; apparently
not.
We have spent
two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our
economy. Why?
We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history and no
longer teach our founding documents; why we are
exceptional and why we are worth preserving. Students by
and large cannot write, think critically, read, or
articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not
picketing and school boards continue to back mediocrity.
Why?
We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election,
violently in California over a proposition that is so
controversial, one that simply wants marriage to remain
defined as between one man and one woman. Did you ever
think such a thing possible just a decade ago? We have
corrupted our sacred political process by allowing
unelected judges to write laws that radically change our
way of life and then allow mainstream Marxist groups
like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a
banana republic; to what purpose?
Now, our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free
fall, major industries are failing, our banking system
is on the verge of collapse, social security is nearly
bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our
education system is worse than a joke (I teach college
and I know precisely what I am talking about) the list
of problems is staggering in its length, breadth, and
depth. It is potentially 1929 times ten.
And now
we are at war with an enemy we cannot even name for fear
of offending people of the same religion, who, in turn,
cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they
have the opportunity to do so.
And finally, we
have elected a man that no one really knows anything
about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let
alone a town as big as Wasilla, Alaska. All of his
associations and alliances are with real radicals in
their chosen fields of employment, and everything we
learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not
downright scary. Surely, you have heard him speak about
his idea to create and fund a mandatory Civilian Defense
Force, stronger than our military, for use inside our
borders. No? Oh,
of course not. The media would never play that for you
over and over again and then demand he answer it. Sarah
Palin's pregnant daughter and a $150,000 wardrobe are
more important.
Mr. Obama's
winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change.
Why?
I have never been so afraid for my country and for my
children as I am now.
This man campaigned on bringing people together,
something he has never, ever done in his professional
life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along
philosophical lines, push us apart and then try to
realign the pieces into a new and different power
structure. Change is indeed coming. And when it comes,
you will never see the same nation again.
And that is only the beginning.
As a serious
student of history, I thought I would never come to
experience what the ordinary, moral German must have
felt in the mid-1930’s. In those times, the "Savior" was
a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser (Community
Organizer) from the streets, about whom the average
German knew next to nothing. What they should have known
was that he was associated with groups that shouted,
shoved, and pushed around people with whom they
disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage
through great oratory. Conservative "losers", I hope you
read it right this time.
And there were the promises. Economic times were
tough, people were losing jobs and he was a great
speaker. He smiled and frowned and waved a lot. And
people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for
fear that his "brown shirts" would bully and beat them
into submission; which they did - regularly. And then,
he was duly elected to office, while a full-throttled
economic crisis bloomed at hand - the Great Depression.
Slowly, but surely he seized the controls of government
power, person by person, department by department,
bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The children of German
citizens were, at first, encouraged to join a Youth
Movement in his name where they were taught exactly what
to think. Later, they were required to do so. No Jews
need apply.
How did he get people on his side? He did it by
promising jobs to the jobless, money to the money-less
and rewards for the military-industrial complex. He did
it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun
control, promising health care for all, better wages,
better jobs and promising to re-instill pride once again
in the country, across Europe and across the world. He
did it all with a compliant media - did you know that?
And he did this all in the name of justice and...
“Change!” And the people surely got what they voted for.
If you think I am exaggerating, look it up. It's all
there in the history books under Hitler and Nazism.
So read your history books. Many people of conscience
objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names,
laughed at and ridiculed. When Winston Churchill pointed
out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the
House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime
Minister) he was booed back into his seat and called a
crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. And the world
came to regret that he was not listened to.
Do not forget
that at that time Germany was the most educated, the
most cultured country in Europe. It was full of music,
art, museums, hospitals, laboratories and universities.
And yet, in less
than six years (a
shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S.
presidency) Germany was rounding up its own citizens,
killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children
against parents and neighbors against neighbors; all
with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell
is paved with them.
As a practical
thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I
have a choice: I can either believe what the objective
pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe
with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to
me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope
I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and
ignoring what is transpiring around me.
I, for one, choose to believe the evidence. No doubt
some people will scoff at me; others laugh or think I am
foolish, naive, or both. To some degree, perhaps I am.
But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye
and tell them exactly what I believe and why I believe
it.
I pray I am
wrong. I do not think I am. Perhaps the only hope is our
vote in the next elections.

Today
is the 70th Anniversary of
the Start of World War Two,
September 1, 1939.
Fifty Million people were
estimated to have lost their
lives in the ongoing years
till War's end. Something to
think about when then, like
today, we were not prepared
Mentally nor Militarily to
respond to a threat from a
National Socialist Party of
Brown Shirts and Black
Shirts who simply wanted to
Right the Wrongs of the Past
Administration. History can
and will be repeated if
common people lose their
Faith. This Video urges us
to Remember ...
watch then join the Tea

Sunday Morning
Coffee July 27,
“I
see the Capital Region
Quarterly Sales Tax receipt
numbers are in for this
Second Quarter of 2009 and
the area is down from 4 to
10% in tax revenue,” was my
first comment to my wife
over Sunday morning coffee.
I
continued, “Saratoga County
led the decline with 10.27%
less taxes collected over
the same period of last
year, equating to about 2.5
million dollars.“ Cathy
replied, “Didn’t you write
about that last week?”
I
wrote in a Letter to the
Editor of our local Express
that sales tax revenue
increases are not about to
offset any give-a-ways for
PILOT Programs to developers
of the Esplanade Project in
Mechanicville.
In the
letter I said, “If you want
to build it, pay for it;
don’t ask us taxpayers to
foot the bill.”
Someone asked me why I
bother to write Letters to
Editors or commentary
articles on various
subjects.
“Generally nobody really
cares about anything except
their own job and family,”
was a comment.
I
explained simply, “If not
me, who?”
But
with that response I also
questioned my motive.
Was I
the type of person who just
wanted to see his name in
print?
Searching my soul, the
answer was much more than,
“no.”
I’ve
had my fifteen minutes of
fame supposedly allotted to
us all, in fact many times
over.
I
don’t need recognition but I
feel a need to speak out
when I recognize a problem.
I
guess I have a need to
comment thinking if I don’t,
who will?
I’ve
never been one to leave it
up to the other guy to get
rid of the dead skunk in the
road.
I have
found that very many young
people today do not know
what is happening around
their lives.
Very
few young people, I put
young at under 45 years old,
read a daily paper or watch
the evening news.
They
seem to be too busy with
daily life.
However, they usually know
what is going on in the work
place, in their or their
friends’ neighborhood and at
school.
But in
politics outside their
hamlet, in history about
town and of State and
Federal proposed policies
and laws, most kids don’t
have a clue.
Ask
who the Vice President is or
the name of their
representatives to the State
Legislature are and more
than not a blank stare will
be your answer.
But
politics is what drives each
of our lives, shapes what we
can and can’t do and
generally figures how much
money you will get to spend
on what you want next year
and in the future.
Elections have consequences
and knowing who and what
policy to back are important
to your future.
This
morning I am especially
enjoying the Sunday
newspaper, though I must
say, comics aren’t what they
used to be; I got more
chuckles out of how the
Schenectady politicians and
city lawyers are trying to
stifle new businesses and
curtail private parties.
If the
proposed laws were in effect
years ago I wouldn’t have
been able to go into
business.
When
these things are thought up
they seem so reasonable,
being their purpose is to
curb crime, burglaries or
drug use, all good targets
of concern.
You
probably don’t even know of
these crime fighting
attempts, so let me shed
some light.
The
Schenectady City Council
wants to pass a law that
will allow their police to
crash a private party held
in a commercial building,
ostensibly to stamp out drug
use because there were three
homicides at private parties
last year.
There
must be hundreds of pros and
cons on that issue.
Probably more a problem of
who is having the party
instead of the function in
general.
The
problem seems to have solved
itself though, private party
bookings have moved out of
Schenectady; great business
outcome.
If the
“Fenced Goods Law” goes
through, small businessmen
will have to prove to the
City that they have enough
money to operate a
“legitimate” business.
Object
is, that if you intend to
buy any “used” items from
the public for a business of
resale, then you must show
you have enough capital so
you won’t be enticed to buy
stolen or “fenced goods” so
you can make exorbitant
profits.
In
other words, people who have
a lot of money are good;
people with little money are
bad.
I
wonder who decides between
the good and evil among us.
The
City would control this by
not simply leveling a
proposed $250.00 fine for
being engaged in this
larceny but also by credit
checking and determining
whether the prospective
business person has enough
cash.
They
would not issue a
“certificate” unless one
passed their test.
Way to
go, bro!
My
solution; why not just lock
up the filthy burglars in
the first place and hide the
freaking key!
Problem solved.
I
started my business career
with a rug of green outdoor
carpet, a metal cash box and
$50.00 for change when I
opened my first retail
outlet; plus a little
inventory of course.
Point
is I could not have passed
their test for
capitalization.
Since
then we have been successful
in amassing … well, let’s
just say it’s more than a
million. But not from that
friendly business city,
Schenectady.
I ran
a gun show within the City
limits some years ago and it
was the only time I had to
jump through hoops, pay
extra cash and obtain
permits to do so in over 25
years in my Show Promotion
business.
Haven’t run one there since.
Being
run by a Democrat majority I
guess they just have a need
for control; kind of like
Obama insisting his
unhealthy health plan is
“going to be” shoved down
our throats whether we like
it or not.
When
our Congress and Federal
workers try it out first for
a year or two, talk to me
then!
The
health care debate is
supposed to be around 50/50
for or against, according to
some polls.
I ask,
how can spending several
trillion dollars to insure
40 million people (a lot who
don’t want it or need it)
benefit the 300 million who
already have one form of
good health insurance or
another?
Or, do
you see folks flying to
England or Canada for
medical aid?
Wake
up folks, smell the roses at
home before you whiff the
cesspool leaking out of
Washington.
To the
young folks who probably
won’t read about this today,
either here or in your local
daily, you may find it too
late when you reach my age.
Let
your voice be heard now.
“Cathy, I need another cup
of coffee, please! Reading
about these Unions is drying
my throat!” Now, Carl, I
thought to myself, what are
you chiding about today?
I love
Carl Strock when he agrees
with me but he can be a real
… well, pain sometimes.
And I
thought I may have converted
him about guns when I
invited him to one of our
Saratoga Springs Arms Fairs.
He did
show up and said hello.
“Carl,
we’re having another at the
end of August, pop in!”
At
least he told it like it was
with this Union bid to
abolish elections at
non-union work places.
What a
crock!
Gun
sales would probably go even
higher if that proposed
legislation got wings.
I
wonder, could it be that
this lingering small amount
of unionized workers in the
private sector and the
overwhelming number of
governmental unions combine
so that it generally costs a
million dollars a mile for
roads?
What
ever happened to the ditch
digger for $5.00 an hour?
That
wasn’t supposed to be a
career job that required a
“living wage” as the
liberals like to say.
Flinging burgers wasn’t
supposed to be a lifetime
opportunity but rather a
part-time or entry pursuit.
No
wonder there is so much
unemployment today, the
brainwashing of living
minimum wages precludes
workers from taking a menial
job … or two, to get by
while working towards
something better.
Let a
small businessman legally
hire help at five bucks an
hour without all the red
tape involved of “living
wages” and see how many
folks could get a job.
It is
not a permanent solution but
it would put money in some
pockets right now.
It
should not be up to the
business owner to create
careers out of dead end
jobs.
It
should be on the back of the
individual worker to make
him or herself move up the
line from burger flipper to
the flippin’ manager. Well,
not likely to be much
incentive to look harder
when one can now get 72
weeks of unemployment
benefits; that is some paid
vacation. “I know, Cathy,
sometimes things are tough,”
I mused.
She
saw what I was writing.
Uh,
oh!
I got
to the Opinion Section; skip
that.
If I
wanted your opinion I would
have given it to you. Cathy
says I got to get off my
duff and mow the lawn.
Women,
they just don’t understand
what a Sunday morning is
supposed to be. At least I
can hide in the bathroom and
finish the paper. I still
have the financials and the
rest of the comics but may
only have time for the most
important. Just like the
cherry with a sunday desert,
I leave the best till last.
I’ll
go with “Dilbert.”

MEANING OF ASSUME
Assume.
What a word it is!
What a scenario those
two syllables can put
together.
Know that life is
hard enough but when
assumption enters a phase of
it the process is usually a
learning experience.
So, for the next
several minutes, let’s
assume that I, the author,
know what I’m writing about
and you, the reader, will
either be entertained, or
learn something.
I have been in sales,
in sales management and now
own several businesses.
I have been trained
in and also taught sales,
closings and time
management.
I am of retirement
age but choose to be
working.
I have what some
people would call a type A
personality.
The point is, I have
lived a full life and quite
probably know what I write
about.
Many years ago while
attending a seminar, my mind
was opened to a very
interesting question; Who is
the ass in assume, you or
me?
Sounds dumb, doesn’t
it?
Let’s take a look at
my experiences just this
past week and find out what
happens when one person
assumes another person knows
what they are doing.
A contractor stopped
in to my gun shop and asked
if I still needed brick
work, we made a deal and I
hired him.
I knew of his work
and he seemed reliable,
especially after showing up
on time for several days.
He was working by the
hour and he and I kept time
schedules.
When his bill came to
me I assumed our hours would
basically be the same; they
were not.
His included leaving
his house and picking up
material on his way to the
job and lunch time.
His also included his
wife’s time for picking up
some material plus gas.
Whether his or mine
were correct was not the
lesson here, the learning
experience was twofold; I
assumed I was paying him for
brick work performed and not
travel time; lessons
learned, I was the ass in
assume.
I fired him.
During this job, I
needed coloring for the
mortar mix so I called a
cement supply company,
Grimm, in Green Island, NY.
Been there for over a
hundred years so they must
know and care about their
business.
When I phoned, the
fellow who answered sure
sounded like he knew what I
needed and I left.
On arrival at this
very large facility of
cement and stone products, I
found who I was talking to
and we checked a color
chart, picked out what I
needed, ordered five, five
pound boxes and pulled my
vehicle up to a delivery
area.
He brought out one
box containing six boxes of
coloring and said, “thanks”,
be off with his blessings.
Now, assuming
something was awry I said,
“Wait”, I ordered 5 boxes,
either I’m short or over.”
This competent
looking young fellow then
looked at the box that said
six and stared in
wonderment, apparently
perplexed, possibly
bedazzled!
He observed while I
pulled my trusty pocket
knife, skillfully inserted
the blade to the taped box
and exposed six boxes of
coloring.
I handed him one that
was imprinted with a number
“five” and “pound” word and
told him I just saved his
company twelve dollars and
change.
Good-bye.
Now you would assume
that my good deed for the
day was done but don’t ever
forget the other very
important adage to that
concept;
no good deed ever goes
unpunished!
I arrived back at my
house with the box of
coloring, showed it to my
mason and now I read on the
box, “Bright Red” when I
specifically ordered
“Limestone Red” from the
color chart.
To the phone I go,
talked to my main man
“Scott”, who helped me with
the order and found out he
gave me the wrong box.
They were closing
shortly and would be open at
7AM on Monday, no time left
this Friday to go back and
get an exchange.
“Anyone live near me
in Mechanicville who could
drop off a box?” I asked.
“I don’t know where
other employees live,” was
the answer.
Lesson learned, I
assumed I got what I paid
for and hoped the problem
could have been easily
corrected, it was neither.
I was the ass in
assume.
Now the weekend brick
work wasn’t going to happen
so time was lost on the
project.
Come Monday morning
and my main man “Moose” was
supposed to be on the job at
7AM.
When he showed up
just before 9:00 I had other
things to do.
It takes about an
hour to run down to Grimm
and back; actually 40-45
minutes but who’s counting
time?
So, I told “Moose” to
go and pick up what we
needed and he would be on
the clock for labor and I’d
give him a few bucks for
gas; mind calculation, 30
miles round trip, 15 miles a
gallon, 2 gallons at $2.50,
five bucks, I’ll go six.
Moose goes down, gets
the right color, leaves at 9
and returns at 11:00.
On his bill
calculation he adds 2 hours
for labor and $20 for gas.
You know the lesson,
it rhymes.
You would assume when
a bill comes in the mail it
is correct, not always.
My wife Cathy always
checks the credit card
statements, the phone bills,
the utility bills and the
bank statements
Often they are wrong
and usually not in our best
interest.
Assume the grocery
clerk and the scanner are
adding things up right and
learn the lesson at home
that they were wrong.
When you assume, it
costs you time and money.
If a grocery clerk
doesn’t know what an apricot
or a bunch of scallions are
you would assume they would
ask.
If not they may
charge for the incorrect
item.
You assume the
scanner is correct but if
the stock man doesn’t put in
the right code or adjust the
code for sale items, you pay
more.
Never assume your
grocery trip is an outing,
it is a chore, a job, often
a learning experience.
I have an answering
machine on a particular
phone line and the line is
set up so no outgoing calls
can be made.
Cathy checked the
phone bill and found a
charge that my answering
machine accepted a collect
call.
I will have to speak
with it!
Another erroneous
$9.00 charge for another
company re-routing my calls;
no they weren’t!
Don’t check the bill
and you’ll pay extra.
Another rule to live by is
“If you are not part of the
solution you are part of the
problem.”
Training for sales
clerks, computer operators
and people in general is
essential.
Assume ignorance and
train.
One would assume that
our legal system is
generally correct in its
outcome.
You would assume
wrong,
The lady with the
scales is blindfolded so
assume nothing will go right
and you may stay out of
jail.
I embrace the death
penalty for horrendous
crimes but assuming you
would never be charged with
murder when you are
completely innocent doesn’t
work well when walking the
last few yards on death row.
Good plan or bad,
don’t really know but if
your life depended on the
assumption that the system
is infallible, you could
assume wrong.
On the subject of law
and lawyers, today at 1PM
Cathy and I go to a closing
of understanding on a
restaurant we wish to
purchase.
We’ve worked long and
hard on this deal and it now
all comes down to a meeting
of the minds; we assume we
are all on the same page and
all will go well.
We’ve done our
diligence in explaining what
we want and have agreed with
the sellers on all aspects.
Will our lawyers be
on this same plane, the same
field of view, the same page
as we are.
We’ll see later.
Donald Trump gave
advice as to always be ready
to walk away from a deal
until the very last moment
of signature.
We adhere to that
advice and are willing to do
so with this deal.
If it is not exactly
how you want it, decide
beforehand on what you will
do.
Walk away if
necessary.
Never assume it will
work out, it usually will
not.
Now my week isn’t
quite finished, yet.
Yesterday I was met at my
shop by a customer and I was
a bit rushed for time anyway
and events got carried away.
I unlocked my door,
put keys in pocket, turned
off the alarms, turned on
the lights and talked about
guns. Needed to be somewhere
else so when I finished I
was just going to quickly
lock up again and come back
later.
Reached into pocket
for keys, went to lock the
front door and found that I
only had the round part
hanging on the ring, only
had half a key.
Proceeded to check
the key hole and there I saw
an object in the slot, the
rest of my key?
Luckily, I have an
inner door which I did lock
and left the outer door
unlocked.
I will repair it
later or call a locksmith
and away I went.
Cathy asked when I
would be home for dinner and
I told her if I didn’t need
the locksmith in an hour or
so.
Back at the shop
about 4:00 PM I proceeded to
take the lock apart,
naturally a set screw that
holds the thing-a-ma-jig
wasn’t going to move so I
took out my handy lock-picks
to see if I could get the
broken end out. The tools
went in awfully easy and I
could grab nothing. I had
taken a spare key and
checked it to see what the
end looked like, for some
reason I also tried to
insert it into the lock …
went in just fine! There was
no broken part of the key in
there, I just assumed
there was. On checking my
pants pocket in the evening
after emptying the day’s
accumulation, there was my
broken end.
All in a day’s
assumption, I guess.
Lesson learned in the
last few minutes of reading
is that when you assume
something of another or of
an instance you generally
will achieve disappointment
rather than your intended
outcome.
Practice clarity in
your conversations and even
in your thoughts and
conclusions.
The dictionary
defines “assume” as to “take
as granted or true”; that
is, to “suppose.”
Another meaning is,
“to take up or upon oneself”
as to assume responsibility.
These two meanings,
among others, make the act
of assumption a very
important part of everyday
life.
As I said previously,
life is hard, don’t make it
any harder by assuming it is
not.
However I do assume,
you will check out my Dave’s
World Page on
www.NEACA.com to observe
the outcome.

"Dinner with Obama"
Once upon a time, I was invited to the
White House for a private dinner
with the President. I was a well
respected businessman, with a factory
that produces memory chips for computers
and portable electronics. There was
some talk that my industry was being
scrutinized by the
administration, but I paid it no mind, I
live in a free country. There's nothing
that the government can do to me if I've
broken no laws. My wealth was earned
honestly and an invitation to dinner
with an American President is an honor.
I checked my coat, was greeted by the
Chief of Staff, and joined Mr.
Obama in a yellow dining room. We sat
across from each other at a
table draped in white linen. The Great
Seal was embossed on the china and
uniformed staff served our dinner. The
meal was served, and I was
startled when my waiter suddenly reached
out, plucked a dinner roll off
my plate and began nibbling it as he
walked back to the kitchen.
"Sorry about that," said Obama. "Andrew
is very hungry."
"I don't appreciate...," I began, but as
I looked into the calm brown eyes
across from me, I felt immediately
guilty and petty. It was just a dinner
roll. "Of course," I concluded and
reached for my glass. Before I could,
however, another waiter reached forward
took the glass away and
swallowed the wine in a single gulp.
"And his brother Eric is very thirsty,"
explained the President. I didn't say
anything. Obama is testing my
compassion, I thought. I will play
along, I don't want to seem unkind.
Then my plate was whisked away before I
had tasted a bite!
"Eric's children are also quite
hungry," I heard as I crashed to the
floor. My chair had been pulled out from
under me. I stood, angrily brushing
myself off and watched as it was carried
from the room.
"And their grandmother can't stand for
long," continued BHO. I excused myself,
smiling outwardly but inside feeling
like a fool. Obviously I had been
invited to the White House to be sport
for some kind of game. I reached for my
coat to find that it had been taken. I
turned back to this so called President
to hear, "Their grandfather doesn't like
the cold."
I wanted to scream - that was my coat!
But again, I looked at that placid
smiling face of my host and decided I
was being a poor sport. I spread my
hands helplessly and chuckled. Then I
felt my hip pocket and realized my
wallet was gone. Now, I excused myself
and walked to a phone on an elegant side
table. I quickly learned that my credit
cards had been maxed out, my bank
accounts emptied, my retirement and
equity portfolios had vanished, and my
wife had been thrown out of our home.
Apparently, the waiters and their
families were moving in. The President
hadn't moved or spoken as I learned all
this, but finally I lowered the phone
into its cradle and turned to face him.
"Andrew's whole family has made bad
financial decisions. They haven't
planned for retirement and they need a
house. They recently defaulted on their
subprime mortgage so I told them they
could have your home. They now need it
more than you do," he explained.
My hands were shaking. I felt faint. I
stumbled back to the table and
knelt on the floor. The President
cheerfully cut his meat, ate his steak
and drank his wine. I lowered my eyes
and stared at the tablecloth. "By the
way," he added, "I have just signed an
Executive Order nationalizing your
factories. I'm firing you as head of
your business and I'll be operating the
firm now for the benefit of all
mankind. There's a
whole bunch of Eric's and Andrew's out
there and they can't come to you
groveling like beggars for jobs ."
I looked up. Obama dropped his spoon
into the empty ramekin which
had been his crème brulee then drained
the last drop of wine from his glass.
As the table was cleared he lit a
cigarette and leaned back in his
chair. He stared at me. I clung to the
edge of the table as if it were a
ledge and I was hanging over an abyss.
I thought of the years behind me, the
life I had lived flashed before me. I
had earned it with a lifetime
of hard work, much risk and many
struggles. Why was I being punished?
Has God now forsaken me? How had I
allowed it all to
be taken? What game had I played and
lost? I looked across the table with
eyes in amazement seeking what had I
done wrong?
As if answering my unspoken thought,
Obama suddenly cocked his
head, locked his empty eyes on mine and
bared a thousand teeth. I could see the
horned growth from his brow as this
beast wryly rubbed his hands... and he
growled...
"You should have stopped me at the
dinner roll."

Stimulus: Say this
for the $787 billion behemoth that
Congress voted on on Friday — never in
our history has a more important vote
been cast on legislation with so little
scrutiny. Couldn't they at least read
the thing before voting on it?
The 1,434-page
bill is, in a word, massive. It's full
of details that deserve to be given a
close look before anyone votes. As the
old saying goes, the devil's in the
details — and if you can't look at the
details, you might just end up with the
devil.
The bill that President Obama called
"the largest change in domestic policy
since the 1930s" was jammed down
Congress' throat, breaking almost all
the promises of bipartisanship and
transparency along the way.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed to give
members of Congress at least 48 hours to
look at the historic legislation before
them.
After all, the bill will spend the
equivalent of nearly 9% of our GDP while
adding $1.2 trillion to our national
debt. Obama vows to "create or save" 3.5
million jobs at a cost of $263,000 per
job. Shouldn't it get even a little bit
of scrutiny?
Apparently not. The bill went on line
sometime early Friday morning, not too
long before passing 246-183 with not a
single Republican vote and seven
Democrats voting against it. So much for
a "bipartisan" plan, another promise
broken.
In the House at least, there wasn't even
the pretense of bipartisanship. The
Democrats drafted their bill with no
input from the Republicans.
In the Senate, Democrats found three
Republicans — Susan Collins and Olympia
Snowe, both of Maine (pop. 1.3 million),
and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania — to
give them bipartisan cover and to
provide a 60-vote filibuster-proof
majority. (What
a crew of RINO'S)
Even more obscene was the undue haste
with which Congress voted on this bill
as it was still coming together late
last week. As House GOP leader John
Boehner noted on the floor, "not one
(House) member has read this bill."
That was by design. Pelosi was keen to
leave town on a weeklong recess, and she
didn't want to have to wait for a little
thing like debate over the largest
spending bill ever passed.
Nor is it a partisan issue. As Missouri
Democrat Emanuel Cleaver said,
"Regardless of party, we all cast our
votes with one hand and crossed our
fingers with the other."Is this any way
to pass a so-called stimulus package?
Even worse, as U.S. News and World
Report has noted, lobbyists — not
members of Congress — got the first shot
at suggesting changes to the measure.
The newsweekly's Paul Bedard said "one
key Democratic staffer" e-mailed him the
following: "K Street (Washington's
lobbyists' row) has the bill, or chunks
of it already, and the congressional
offices don't."
This was Thursday night, on the eve of
the vote. And remember, Congress had
voted to put the bill online for at
least 48 hours before it took action.
Not until Friday morning, however, did
it hit the Web. All a lie.
Why the haste? Surely one reason is the
bill is stuffed with pork and short of
real stimulus. Its authors don't want
the details out. They shouldn't be
surprised, then, when voters bridle at
what they've been saddled with.
Another reason seems to be that
lawmakers had pressing business overseas
during this week's recess, and really
didn't want to stick around Washington.
In Pelosi's case, she and several other
Democrats were due to leave Friday
evening for an eight-day tour of Europe,
including Rome. We wouldn't want to get
in the way of her travel plans, would
we?
In this month of celebrating the
bicentennial of President Lincoln's
birth, we can't help recalling his
prayerful hope at Gettysburg — that
"government of the people, by the
people, for the people, shall not perish
from the earth."
This bill pretty much inverts Lincoln's
ringing words. In this sorry episode at
least, it was "government of the
lobbyists, by the lobbyists, for the
lobbyists." In other words, a real
disgrace.

NEWS RELEASE
HOLDER NOMINATION SIGNALS
OBAMA'S TRUE ANTI-GUN RIGHTS AGENDA
BELLEVUE, WA - The nomination of
Eric Holder for the post of attorney
general of the United States sends an
"alarming signal" to gun owners about
how the Barack Obama administration will
view individual gun rights, as affirmed
this year by the Supreme Court, the
Second Amendment Foundation said today.
"Eric Holder signed an amicus brief in
the Heller case that supported the
District of Columbia's handgun ban, and
also argued that the Second Amendment
does not protect an individual right,"
noted SAF founder Alan Gottlieb. "He has
supported national handgun licensing and
mandatory trigger locks. As deputy
attorney general under Janet Reno, he
lobbied Congress to pass legislation
that would have curtailed legitimate gun
shows.
"This is not the record of a man who
will come to office as the nation's top
law enforcement officer with the rights
and concerns of gun owners in mind," he
observed.
Holder's nomination, like the
appointment of anti-gun Illinois
Congressman Rahm Emanuel as White House
Chief of Staff, tells American gun
owners that Obama's campaign claims
supporting the Second Amendment were
"empty rhetoric," Gottlieb stated.
"America's 85 million gun owners have
ample reason to be pessimistic about how
their civil rights will fare under the
Obama administration," Gottlieb said.
"Mr. Obama will have a Congress with an
anti-gun Democrat majority leadership to
push his gun control agenda. Gun owners
have not forgotten Mr. Obama's
acknowledged opposition to concealed
carry rights, nor his support for a ban
on handgun ownership when he was running
for the Illinois state senate.
"Barack Obama vigorously portrayed
himself on the campaign trail as a man
who supports gun ownership," Gottlieb
concluded, "but now that he has won the
election, he is surrounding himself with
people who are avowed gun
prohibitionists. What better indication
of what to expect from Barack Obama as
president than the people he is
selecting to lead his administration?
This isn't a roster of devoted public
servants. It's a rogue's gallery of
extremists who have labored to erase the
Second Amendment from the Bill of
Rights."

THE
POLITICAL BEAST
Commentary by David Petronis ~ October
25, 2008
The media has taken polls
suggesting less than two weeks prior to
this most important of elections, that
Obama has due cause to begin measuring
for new drapes in the White House.
Not only the Presidency has
already been decided but the new
Congress will have a huge majority in
the House and at least 60 uncontestable
Democrats in the Senate.
Nancy Pelosi will have you
“sending in your guns” for destruction
as Harry Reid collects checks for the
Treasury Department for your new
“government sponsored Health Care
System.”
Now it’s reported that the vast
majority of white Catholics are also
voting for Barrack Hussein Obama,
noteworthy to the point that they have
always picked the next president with
their block vote.
I am one of the descenting white
Catholics who will be voting for John
McCain and voting out the New York State
Democrats.
I hope I have a majority of
friends who follow me to keep our nation
a Christian Country.
Consider this, Ye Christians;
Revelation 13:5, the Beast.
Revelations tells us the Beast
(anti-Christ) will rule for 42 months
and then destroy everything.
During the six month honey moon
and reorganization after the
inauguration, 42 months are left in this
next Presidential term.
Obama has stated that this will
no longer be a Christian nation --- it
will be one of Christians, Jews,
Muslims, Buddhists ….. I, for one, don’t
agree with this new design for America,
how about you?
According to the Book of
Revelations the anti-Christ is:
The anti-Christ will be a man in
his 40’s, of Muslim descent, who will
deceive the nations with persuasive
language and have a massive Christ-like
appeal.
The prophecy says that people
will flock to him and he will promise
false hope and world peace.
And when he is in power will
destroy everything………..
Do I see a similarity between the
prophecies in Revelations to the
pernicious candidate of the Democrats,
you decide.
It is hard for me to believe that
the likes of today’s Democrat leaders
can flaunt the efforts of George
Washington and the Patriots in war and
John Adams, Paul Revere or Thomas
Jefferson in their cause of liberty and
Halls of Congress.
They flaunt our heritage, all the
blood spilled to make America the finest
nation on earth, they decry God from our
Constitution and they coerce the Forth
Estate, the media, to promote their aims
and their ascent to power.
Can we allow this to continue?
I think not.
The culmination of Obama’s four
years in office, besides following the
dire prophesy of Revelations also
coincides with the Mayan Culture date of
world destruction currently figured out
to be 2012.
Is this coincidence that these
two far removed prophecies converge upon
the same future date in history of
mankind’s ruin and destruction? And
there are other similar cultural
predictions.
It may be that the worst to come
is not immediately from Obama himself
but rather from the jubilance of the
Democrats to their resurgence of power,
the overwhelming controlling votes of
the House and Senate along with the
veto-proof, though unnecessary,
Presidency.
Not since 1978 when Jimmy Carter
was President did the Dems hold this
much anticipated power. That is the time
they fooled with the “Houses for
Everyone Theory” the culmination of
which thirty years later is the need to
bail-out Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae
leading to the housing crises leading to
the banking crisis and another $700
million dollars balanced on the backs of
our grandkids.
Look it up if you have any doubt
that this is not the root of the
problems we have today.
Can you try to imagine what the
Democrats will do first: Voter
registration on the same day as the
election; Voting for felons, in or out
of jail; Union Boss looking over your
Voting Shoulder Act; Sweeping reforms to
curtail any future buying of the
election as is being tried now (known as
the Comprehensive Incumbent Re-Election
Reform Act); Turn in your guns, the days
of Hunting and Shooting Are Over Act; a
car in every garage and pot for people
mandate payed for by Redistribution of
Wealth Act; anything they wish to
retrieve from the garbage heap of
liberal discards will again be in play
plus all those wonderful new ideas of
how the Dems can help us all with more
dependency on those in government … the
true and real meaning of the progressive
cause … scary indeed!
On their ascension into power,
the Day of Inauguration 2009 the
Political Beast will begin to be
unleashed upon the unsuspecting hoards
who allowed them to deceive you.
Fortunately there will still be
gun shops and gun shows still open in
January where protection can be obtained
for thwarting the impending doom …
though the powers within the bureaucracy
will now have all your personal
information and what you own … that is a
good thing, right?
Think about your vote this time.

McCain is
in Trouble
Commentary by David Petronis, October 8,
2008
If you
watched the second Presidential debate
last night without falling asleep give
yourself an “A” for absolute
attentiveness but give John McCain an
“F” for what should have been fighting
spirit with innovative attacks on
Obama’s character and sleazy friends.
The whole hype leading to this as
to what McCain “had to do” in the
pundit’s eyes reminded me of the “shock
and awe” I was disappointed with during
the bombing of Baghdad.
I waited and waited, and waited
but no “awe” was to be seen; too many
war movies, I guess and no doubt my
expectations this time were a bit too
high for McCain to sweep in on the low
road.
There is less than four weeks
before our country drowns in toilet
water so us real Americans are going to
have to push our friends and neighbors
to take a good look at what kind of
changes are soon to come.
My intent here is not to be
pretty with prose but alarmist with
reality.
This McCain fellow just can’t
seem to call a spade a spade!
Does he view himself as a
gentleman from the Senate who can’t
speak ill of another Senator to his
face?
Get over it, John, or you are
going to lose!
While Obama and the rest of the
ideological democrats stick in a knife
with a friendly smile, good ‘ol John is
going to be hugging the floor with moans
rivaling “Et tu, Brute’?”
Being swept under the rug of
oblivion by media hyping of liberal
sound bites over and over again and not
coming up kicking, biting and scratching
is not a good plan, John.
Thank God for Sarah!
But you, my friend, have got to
start kicking some ass.
It amazes me that anyone with a
name that has the sound and syllables of
our number one terrorist, Osama, a
middle name of the tyrant we needed a
war to depose, Hussein and a common
first name Barack with an Arabic origin
has gotten this far in the electoral
process.
Don’t you people know that names
actually suggest a meaning?
If I step in sh-- and it stinks,
the name of that fits.
We are still a nation full of
Anglo-Saxon Christians and our customs,
laws and Constitution were founded on
their beliefs.
Well, at least for now we are.
Since when did we invite the
Anti-Christ in?
The old belief was that if you
wanted to come to America you could come
but when you got here you became an
American and celebrated Thanksgiving and
Christmas.
When did that requirement change?
Nobody asked me if it was OK.
I don’t see hyphenated Americans
and I don’t think they belong here.
I only see Americans that can
conform, if you don’t like it, leave.
How then can one who calls
himself an African-American have the
gall to run for President of our
America?
It boggles my mind!
And this guy is more Muslim in
name and nature than African.
Even in his book on life he says
if push comes to shove he will stand
with the Muslims.
And 50% of the idiots who we have
given the right to register and vote
think he’s just swell.
Boggle, boggle!
Where
did we go wrong?
GW, I am sorry, I know you are
turning in the grave.
Guilt by association should have
been a game stopper long ago for this
Afro from Chicago.
The affirmative action programs
aside where did the money and influence
come from that put this poor boy, born
in the usual out of wedlock style of a
salt and pepper affair, into the best of
Universities?
I don’t think it was his grades.
Dig into it and Muslims seem to
have had a hand.
Look into what he did during his
formative and college years besides
drugs and learn about associations with
radicals and
ACORN, the “community organizer”
portion of his portfolio.
When Obama was eight, Bill Ayers
of the
Weatherman terrorist group bombed US
Government buildings, a technicality got
him off from spending his life in
prison.
When Obama started his political
career it was around a coffee table with
Bill Ayers, the terrorist.
I rest my case!
When
Jeremiah Wright says it’s time for a
black woman to legally sleep in the
White House I envision the next step is
to re-paint it black.
When Father Flagher flails his
arms like a chicken and wishes he was
black I envision him roosting on the
Capital dome and crapping over the
deserved Senate below.
When Farrakhan raises his arm to
black power and points toward his coming
space ship I envision a return to goose
stepping ideologue’s of yesterday’s
idiocy.
Simply watch and listen to the
friends of Obama and if you are not yet
scared of the consequences of his
Presidency, take your pulse!
Fellow Americans if you do not
want to wake up to socialistic
doctrines, guaranteeing of negro
reparations from the Civil War,
religious zealots whose religion is to
kill the white man and strip his body
flesh, to associations with terrorists
in the White House, to police bashing,
crime laden rappers shrieking “niggers
kill whities” then you had best try your
damnedest to turn this trend around and
vote in the next best President, John
McCain.
And don’t look for God’s help if
he loses, we brought Sodom on ourselves.

Alien Breeding of Democrats ...
Some of you will recall that on July 8,
1947, a little
over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that
an unidentified flying object (UFO) with
five aliens aboard, crashed onto a
sheep and cattle ranch just outside
Roswell, New Mexico.
This is a well
known incident that many say has long
been
covered up by the US Air Force and other
federal agencies. However, what
you may NOT know is that in the month of
April 1948,
nine months after
that historic event, the following
people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
See what
happens when aliens breed with sheep?
I certainly hope this bit of information
clears up a lot of things for you,
it did for me. No wonder they
support the bills to help illegal
aliens! Now you know.

Do you think that the government should
bailout Wall Street and the banks to the
tune of $750 BILLION DOLLARS? I
don’t, no matter what the people in the
know say. David Petronis
9/26/08
When politicians start talking about
billions of dollars they actually begin
to start paying attention. When a
Washingtonian speaks in millions he or
she thinks of pocket change, from our
pockets of course. But when
billion or trillion come into play their
radar tunes in, probably trying to
figure out how to get at least a small
piece of it, after all hiding a few
hundred million in hundreds of billions
is easy. Do you know what a
billion is?
My calculator only goes up to ten
million so I had to resort to the old
pencil and paper method to figure
something out. Let’s say out of
the 300,000,000 people in the USA, (that
figure is 300 million if you write it
out) that only 200,000,000 are actually
over 18 and working for a living and
possibly paying taxes. Now instead
of giving out a bailout of OUR MONEY
(because the only way the government
gets its’ money is from us in taxes or
it prints it as a loan from us) we cut
that 750 billion in half and divide it
up among us 200 million
citizens. If my math is correct,
that gives a bailout to each taxpayer of
$1,875.00.
That is my plan.

This report may be a bit optimistic but
it hasn’t been proven wrong either.
The U.S. Geological Service issued a
report in April ('08) that only
scientists and oilmen knew was coming,
but man was it big. It was a revised
report (hadn't been updated since '95)
on how much oil was in this area of the
western 2/3 of North Dakota; western
South Dakota; and extreme eastern
Montana ... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil
discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay,
and has the potential to eliminate all
American dependence on foreign oil. The
Energy Information Administration (EIA)
estimates it at 503 billion barrels.
Even if just 10% of the oil is
recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're
looking at a resource base worth more
than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on
this, you could practically see their
jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.'
says Terry Johnson, the Montana
Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the
highest-producing onshore oil field
found in the past 56 years,' reports The
Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a
formation known as the Williston Basin,
but is more commonly referred to as the
'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern
Montana, through North Dakota and into
Canada. For years, US oil exploration
has been considered a dead end. Even the
'Big Oil' companies gave up searching
for major oil wells decades ago.
However, a recent technological
breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's
massive reserves... and we now have
access of up to 500 billion barrels.
Because this is light, sweet oil, those
billions of barrels will cost Americans
just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the
American economy for 41 years straight.
US Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the
World!
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of
the Rocky Mountains lies the largest
untapped oil reserve in the world is
more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August
8, 2005 President Bush mandated its
extraction
... that was over three years ago!
They reported this stunning news: We
have more oil inside our borders, than
all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen- and it's
all right here in the Western United
States.
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE
extracting this!? Because the democrats,
environmentalists and left wing
republicans have blocked all efforts to
help America become independent of
foreign oil.
James Bartis, lead researcher with the
study says we've got more oil in this
very compact area than the entire Middle
East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels,
Untapped. That's more than all the
proven oil reserves of crude oil in the
world today, reports The Denver Post.
Barak Hussein Obama just finished his
first debate with John McCain claiming
that the US had only 3% of the world’s
oil and consumed over 25% of it … so we
should switch to wind and solar for our
needs. The wind, I can see
generated by the Democrat politicians on
the hill but as for solar I’ll be
sticking some of the millions they
should be sending me instead of Wall
Street so far up their behinds along
with their heads they will never see the
sun again. Vote these ridiculous
people out of office once and for all.

Sarah Palin’s Foreign Policy Experience
Commentary by
David Petronis, September 1, 2008
The State of
Alaska has a foreign country on its
eastern and southern borders, Canada.
As the crow
flies north from Alaska it would
probably freeze to death on the Russian
tundra.
If you cross the
western Bearing Sea you would be in
Russia, not to mention the adjoining
territorial waters of Russia and Alaska.
To the southwest
where the Aleutian Islands arc through
the Pacific Ocean they end up close to
Japan and China.
No other of our
states has as much territory either
joining or in close proximity to other
foreign countries.
Wouldn’t one
think that the Governor of a state with
those proximities encounter’s foreign
relation experiences on probably a
weekly if not a daily basis?
Who are the
Democrats trying to kid when they say
Sarah Palin, the current Governor of
Alaska, has no foreign relation
experience? She certainly does!
I
just received a note from a native of
Alaska, who also happens to be my nephew
and he states, “As Governor of Alaska,
Sarah deals directly with a host of
Pacific Rim countries on a variety of
trade issues; from exporting coal to
China and Korea, to oil issues with
British Petroleum (BP), to Bearing Sea
and Pacific Ocean fishing down to the
International Whaling Commission. … Plus
she is also negotiating a huge natural
gas project that involves our closest
neighbor, Canada.
This gal has
political common sense too and ain’t
afraid to tell Congress where the buck
stops, as in telling them that if we
wanted a bridge to nowhere at Ketchikan,
the State of Alaska would built it
ourselves.” So says Rick Hrubes of
Fairbanks.
Now, let me ask
my Democrat friends what kind of foreign
relation experience Barak Hussein Obama
(BHO) has?
That he dealt
with all facets of people in the Chicago
suburbs as an “organizer?” Or that his
vast political experience in the US
Senate for nearly three years, while not
being on any meaningful Senate
Committee’s during that time, plus being
on the campaign trail for most of his
Senate term, is that his foreign
relation experience?
Or is it from
his recent visit to Afghanistan where he
snubbed the enlisted and hospitalized
soldiers on his fact finding, basketball
prowess showmanship trip? Or was is that
he lived in Hawaii as a kid or was
taught as a Muslim at one time or went
to Harvard or that he experimented with
an international dope substance; is that
the sum of his total foreign relations
experience that will enable him to be
President on Day One?
I don’t think
so!
The US
Presidential pair, our President and our
Vice President, are elected every four
years by the people who believe that
they will be able to take the reins if
an immediate crisis arises.
And that as a
team, they can work together, compliment
each other’s experience and God forbid,
something happened to the President, our
Vice President could take competent
control of the Country.
Sarah Palin
surely could do just that.
I have my doubts
about Joe Biden and I have an even
greater concern about BHO.
His wondrous
presence aside, his condescending
demeanor, lack of experience in
business, in leadership, in military
affairs, in foreign affairs and even
lack of experience dealing with the
myriad of domestic affairs in his short
political career contribute only to his
NOT being president at this time.
There appear to
be a lot of Democrats who also concur
with this thought.
We, as the
people, voted for a majority of the
Electoral College that elected George
Bush as President for two terms.
His running mate
was Dick Cheney; both were qualified to
lead on Day One.
Many Democrats
and some Republicans might dispute that
fact but history will sustain it.
John McCain and
Sarah Palin will also be ready and able
to take charge when required.
They will make
the “change” that many Americans are
eager for but they will continue the
stability of our Military to protect us
while exuding their overall experience
in and with domestic or foreign affairs.
Your favorable
vote will enable them to make changes
where needed but to also continue making
this the greatest nation the world has
to witness.
As John McCain has
stated, “Our best days are still ahead
of us, God bless America.”

Hooray for McCain
Commentary by David Petronis,
August 29, 2008
Funny thing happened on the way to the
caribou hunt … my husband told me I got
a call from John about being chosen for
the Vice President of these United
States … told my hubby to wait a second,
got to take this shot…… and I am one
proud Mama today!!!
So goes today’s saga of Sara
Barracuda, also known as Sarah Palin,
present Governor of the largest State in
our Union, Alaska.
From long shot on the long
list of Veep choices for Republican
Presidential contender John McCain,
Sarah Palin is a welcome choice to my
small family of Conservatives and to our
massive party of disgruntled
Republicans.
Thank you John, you will now
get my vote and some of my money.
Sarah is a Life Member of the
National Rifle Association, ran a
fishing boat for a business, likes to
hunt and fish, married twenty years to
the same guy who also likes to hunt and
fish plus is a world class snow mobile
champion, was a beauty pageant winner,
been in politics for about eighteen
years nowhere near Washington, DC, been
a Mayor of a small City in Alaska, been
Governor for the last two years, lowered
property taxes and started a savings
account with the money saved, handles
and shoots assault weapons, wants to
drill for more oil and gas in ANWR, is a
mother with five children, one of them
in the US Army about to be shipped to
Iraq, thinks of herself as a hockey-mom
but also coached basketball, had time to
join the PTA, her husband is a Union
Member, she is white but, what can I
say, she is not a part of the
good-ol-boy network, shook up the
Republican Party in Alaska when they
were found to be doing the wrong things,
has an approval rating from her
constituents of over 80%, is the first
woman to be nominated for the second
highest office in the land by the
Republican Party, and did I mention she
likes to hunt and her favorite food is
Moose Stew?
And she looks damn good in a
suit with a skirt!
But, alas, the democrats and
liberals have already asked how many
houses she brings to the McCain campaign
while also noting that just like their
Presidential Candidate, BHO; she has no
foreign policy experience.
Can’t have everything, I guess
but she sure will make a nice Vice
President alongside the next President
of the United States, John McCain, who
has plenty of experience dealing with
slime balls, Washingtonites,
and terrorists in general.
I wonder where she got that
nickname of Barracuda. Joe Biden won’t
bloody her nose in the playground!
You better see your mama, Joe.
Some folks thought her crack
about the 18 million cracks put in the
glass ceiling by Hillary Clinton was a
wisecrack when Sarah concluded with her
chance to break it as a Republican.
I believe it was a sincere
thank you to Hillary and to Geraldine
Ferraro before her.
History was made these past
few days in Denver and I was privileged
to have been able to see it happen.
Today more history was made
and I feel that through John’s choice my
own granddaughters have just as much
chance as anyone to grow up to be
President.
Only in America, only in these
United States of America can we be
witness to such historical days such as
these.
God bless us all and God Bless
America for all time.
PS:
Please Vote and Vote for the
Republican ticket in November.
It will take your children’s
lifetime to undo the damage the
alternative party will envelop upon us
in four short years of their ideology.
To those of you who think
George Bush is or was the problem,
remember who kept us safe these past
eight years.
To those who think the
Republicans are or were the problem,
remember who controls Congress today and
who went on vacation from the gasoline
price problem.
When democrat Nancy Pelosi
gavels dead the drilling for new oil and
Barak Hussein Obama claims he is going
to wean us off oil in 10 years with
natural gas, do you think perhaps there
may be something wrong with policy and
rhetoric?
Do you know that natural gas
is simply a by-product of oil drilling?
Before you pull that lever
for, who knows who, Barak (one the most
familiar of Arabic names)
(Hussein?)(Obama – the only difference
with Osama is the BS), you had better
know who is behind the lever.

Gun Rights
Stand Test of Time
Commentary by
David Petronis, June 26, 2008
Well, it’s swell!
Five out of nine Justices of the
Supreme Court of the USA agreed that our
Founding Fathers had it right all along
these past two hundred and some years
since they penned the Second Amendment.
The Right of the People to own
guns shall not be infringed.
But what does that say about the
other four in robes?
Probably none of them have been
mugged yet.
In seriousness, with that small
margin this historic vote along party
lines could well have been cast in a
different manner.
What
should have been Nine to Zero, this vote
made Justice Kennedy the most powerful
man in the US, the swing man.
As are the “Independents” who
will swing this November 4th
election one way or the other because
they can’t seem to take a stand until
they see how the wind is blowing.
Whether Justice Kennedy is one of
the great men who weighs all options or
simply votes his convictions on an issue
or just throws a dart, I don’t know.
Regardless, this time he targeted
the right spot in our Constitution and
saved our day in court.
This ruling could have very far
reaching effects on all our besieged
rights.
I would imagine the National
Rifle Association is partying down in DC
about now. And probably getting ready to
assault a few more gun banning laws and
cities in the near future.
I
heard Chief James Tuffey
of the Albany Police Department comment
on the radio today that it wasn’t the
legal guns that he was worried about but
rather the illegal “straw man” purchases
made in other, less regulated States
than New York, then filtered here onto
his streets.
He said that he favored a Federal
Law that would be applied to all gun
purchasers equally in all the States.
Well, States Rights issues aside,
as a gun dealer and as a firearms
carrier I would even go along with
something like that if all gun carry
permits were then recognized as Federal
Carry Permits, good anywhere in the USA.
I think even the good old NRA
would find that compromise interesting.
The news today was full with
reporting of this court decision.
Most call-in folks to radio talk
shows were pro-gun and liked the ruling.
But the news spots had to find
the guy who thought this was disastrous
and how it was so important now to vote
for democrats this November.
I’m sure his life on earth will
forever now be terrorized by gun-totin’
Republicans!
So what about the New York State
pistol permits that are labeled for
“Hunting and Target” shooting only, in
some counties?
Is it legal for a local Judge to
apply his “feelings” to your
Constitutional Right to gun ownership?
Probably not, though never been
challenged.
Today’s ruling explicitly stated
that Citizens have a right to have a gun
in their home for self protection.
Does that mean the “Castle
Doctrine” laws that forty or so other
States have adopted must be legally
available in all States?
Like here in New York?
NY says we citizens have to run
out the back door if someone is trying
to break in your front door, the “escape
route” option.
I am going to have the idiot
running in the front door hitting the
floor from a blast of .44, no option
here.
Will I now be legally protected?
Unfortunately, this ruling by the
Supreme’s doesn’t address any of these
issues.
It was still a great day for gun
owners and sane people throughout this
great Country.
At last a little sanity has come
down from on high and, at least today,
all is right with the world.

What Goes Around, Comes Around ....June
16, 2008 ~ Oil futures hit another new
high today on Wall Street. Do you know
where the name Wall Street came from?
Let me clue you in on a little known
fact. Back in the late 1600's when the
New York City area was know as New
Amsterdam there were wild hogs roaming
everywhere. In order to keep these
marauding pigs out of the streets a
large wall was built on the edge of town
and over the years was rebuilt and
strengthened. In time the pigs were
kept at bay from this area that was to
be known as Wall Street. And as is the
case with much of our forgotten history
the real reason for the name was lost.
Now, I want a bunch of you people who
live and work down there in the Big
Apple to throw open your sash and yell
from the towers, "The PIGS are back, the
Pigs are back" and let these wall street
hogs who are driving up our oil and
ruining our lives as Americans know who
they are. I am returning your lives
back to you, use them wisely!

What Libyan Muammar Gadhafi said of
Obama Oct. 18 |

The One, the Only, He has Come!
Commentary by David Petronis, June
2, 2008
Barak Hussein Obama has now resigned
from his church because he doesn’t want
his Pastor or his mentors or his other
church member brothers and sisters to
have to endure any more controversy in
the news simply because he is running
for the democrat candidacy for President
of these United States.
Isn’t that special?
Isn’t that the most unselfish act
you have ever heard?
BHO is giving up his church of
twenty years so no more controversy and
threats will be aimed at his Trinity
United Church members by the media.
Wow, what a guy!
Sounds more like BULL.
So it came to pass that the righteous
one, the white skinned hater of America,
was called upon by the Almighty above to
save Obama and drive him from the flock.
Not because of wickedness but for
LOVE.
Drive him to besmirch the church
for hate speech due whitey from whitey
so the real Negro could speak again to
his Pastoral flock; the anointed one can
reign without controversy and be free to
lurk in circles of deceit and depravity
whilst his tined tongue beseech thee who
speaks the Negro secession of
oppression.
So is the word of GOD…A,
according to Father Pfleger!
Change,
oh change has BEGUN!
It is said that there will come unto us
a Savior.
One who will lead us to his home
of astonishing beauty where one will
live forever among promises of glory and
satisfaction. That a change will come
from a man of destiny and Deity who will
speak the words all wish to consume.
None shall be suspect of his
words or deeds while they listen and see
the Glory. None will doubt the sincerity
of his convictions nor detect the venom
spurred to his victims.
He will come in splendor and pomp
among and through his hoard with
meretricious merriment and subtle
deceitful scorn.
The Anti-Christ will deceive you
with love to devour your soul with
despise.
Anyway, that is how I see this not black
enough Muslim convert who just trounced
the Whitey Woman who knew it was her
legitimate turn.
How about you?
Rush Limbaugh seems to think that
the white Priest was given the task of
providing Hussein the way out while
pointing the blame to whitey instead of
wacky blacky Wright.
Better White than Wright… to
blame.
I tend to agree with glee and
know in my heart that the Libs will
conjure and conspire to any end to
justify whatever deemed their final
goal.
|
Below are a few lines from Obama's book;
In his words!
From Audacity of Hope:
'I will stand with the Muslims should
the political
winds shift in an ugly direction.'
You decide whether we should use his
middle name, HUSSEIN.

I wonder when we are going
to bomb Iran. Muslims
seem to only understand that
might is right. Now we
hear from two of the Gulf
States that we protect daily
insist that the US can't use
our bases on their soil to
make war on Iran. But
Iran can perform an act of
war against one of our best
allies, the British. I
say, knock their veils and
rags off the sheetheads and
blow them back to the stone
age, about a hundred years
from where they are now!
And to the local Muslim
professor who just resigned
from Skidmore in Saratoga
Springs, NY because of the
controversy over ethnic
jokes and too much US
Patriotism in Sea World, FL
I say good riddance.
You are right we don't want
you over here. If you
claim Turkish- American
citizenship go cry about us
in Turkey and take the rest
of the Turkeys with you.
I believe Rush Limbaugh had
a hand in her final
decision, thanks, Rush.

Dave, Here is my plan on HOW TO SAVE THE
AIRLINES ...
Dump the male flight attendants. No one
wanted them in the first place. Replace
all the female flight attendants with
good-looking strippers! What the hell --
They don't even serve food anymore, so
what's the loss?
The strippers would at least triple the
alcohol sales and get a "party
atmosphere" going in the cabin. And, of
course, every businessman in this
country would start flying again, hoping
to see naked women.
Because of the tips, female flight
attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus
saving even more money. I suspect tips
would be so good that we could charge
the women for working the plane and have
them kick back 20% of the tips,
including lap dances and "special
services."
Muslims would be afraid to get on the
planes for fear of seeing naked women.
Hijackings would come to a screeching
halt, and the airline industry would see
record revenues. This is definitely a
win-win situation if we handle it right
-- a golden opportunity to turn a
liability into an asset.
Why didn't Bush think of this? Why do I
still have to do everything myself?
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton

The Cost of
Raising Offspring!
Over a Buck an Hour!
The government recently calculated the
cost of raising a child from birth to
age 18 and came up with $160,140 for a
middle income family. Talk about
sticker shock! That doesn't even touch
college tuition. But, when you think
about it, $160,140.00 isn't so bad if
you break it down. It translates into:
$8,896.66 a year, or $741.38 a month, or
$171.08 a week. That's a mere $24.24 a
day! Just over a dollar an hour.
Still, you might think the best
financial advice is "don't have
children" if you want to be "rich."
Actually, it is just the opposite.
Let's see what you get for your
$160,140.00. First, you get;
Naming rights. First, middle, and last!
Then:
* Glimpses of God every day.
* Giggles under the covers every night.
* More love than your heart can hold.
* Butterfly kisses and Velcro hugs.
* Endless wonder over rocks, ants,
clouds, and warm cookies.
* A hand to hold, usually covered with
jelly or chocolate.
* A partner for blowing bubbles, flying
kites.
* Someone to laugh yourself silly with,
no matter what the boss said or how your
stocks performed that day.
For $160,140, you never have to grow up.
You get to:
* finger-paint,
* carve pumpkins,
* play hide-and-seek,
* catch lightning bugs, and
* never stop believing in Santa Claus.
You have an excuse to:
* keep reading the Adventures of Piglet
and Pooh,
* watch Saturday morning cartoons,
* go to Disney movies, and * wish on
stars.
* You get to frame rainbows, hearts, and
flowers under refrigerator magnets and
collect spray painted noodle wreaths for
Christmas, hand prints set in clay for
Mother's Day, and cards with backward
letters for Father's Day.
For $160,140, there is no greater bang
for your buck. You get to be a hero just
for:
* retrieving a Frisbee off the garage
roof,
* taking the training wheels off a bike,
* removing a splinter, or * filling a
wading pool,
* coaxing a wad of gum out of bangs, and
coaching a baseball team that never wins
but always gets treated to ice cream or
pizza regardless.
You get a front row seat to history, to
witness the:
* first step, * first word,* first bra,
* first date, and * first time behind
the wheel.
You get to be immortal. You get
another branch added to your family tree
and if you're lucky, a long list of
limbs in your obituary called
grandchildren and great- grandchildren.
You get an education in psychology,
nursing, criminal justice,
communications, and human sexuality that
no college can match.
In the eyes of a child, you rank right
up there under God. You have all the
power to heal a boo-boo, scare away the
monsters under the bed, patch a broken
heart, police a slumber party, ground
them forever, and love them without
limits. So, one day they will, like you,
love without counting the cost. That is
quite a deal for the price! A mere
dollar an hour.
Love & enjoy your children &
grandchildren! I do mine.
Every Day!

Politically Incorrect Views ~ Remember,
this is MY PAGE!
I have had it up to my eye brows with
the Hollywood "push" of white folks and
colored people having affairs on nearly
every TV show being aired today!
If you writers and progressive producers
think your tainted view of the world is
reality, you're nuts! If it isn't
a blond and a black having a new tryst
on CSI it's a couple of Homo Cops doing
dirty years ago on Cold Case while a
current white jelly bellied one pursues
a dark filly in Philly. It is never
ending and seems to run from show to
show where whites and blacks have to end
up sleeping together nightly on our
living room screens. It's enough
to make me puke!
I started watching the new show with the
stupid title of "3 lbs." Into the third
episode the numb nuts brain surgeon has
to have an affair with the colored
lawyer. What, there's no nice Jewish
girls! They love Brain Doctors. Give me
a break! And the sit-coms are more
like s--t-coms with the mixed race
affairs. Or did you think we were
color blind! Am I being racist?
No, I'm being smothered in Bullshit!
I am not a racist. I am practical.
I can remember when someone would be
lynched for being impractical. Not
to condone that behavior but the free
wiliness today of interracial affairs is
no better.
I see it every day at my local super
market or shops, a salt 'n pepper combo
as it used to be called. It would
be just fine if they both got neutered
but their little head has to get
satisfied and the little fry's show up.
And they think the world is going to
accept all this. I doubt it.
And not for one minute do I believe the
majority of the colored folks approve of
it either. (Here is where I insert
the possible imbedded racist harboring
... if you want to be African, go
there... If you want to be American, you
can stay. If you come across the
border learn and speak English, if you
come across the oceans learn to eat
hamburger, not duck feet and monkey
brains. And if you come from
muslimland don't be a "sheethead" over
here, convert to Christianity or stay
home. We don't need your huddled
masses any more. This is AMERICA for
AMERICANS. But I digress.)
And the commercials! Another
fairytale from fairyland. How many
of you have interracial family dinners
on Thanksgiving and Christmas? Not
I, thank God. But to watch the
commercials one would think these are
daily occurrences and that all white
families have a few coloreds in their
closet. I have no problem with
mixed entertainment or inviting any
friends over for tea but I would not
want my daughter bringing home a stray
for dinner no matter what color he was.
The blond drummer boy was bad enough.
Are Target Stores really on target with
the white and black cooking and dancing
together? Is all this pushing for
ethnic and racial equality silently
burning people up inside? I doubt
if these views are mine alone. I
like people and especially divergent
people who I can converse with and learn
something. I'll talk to the party
at the adjoining dinner table or bar
stool. I don't care what color or
race they are, if the thought even
enters my mind. But I don't want
my family genes mixing with another race
to try to repopulate the world into one
color as Hollywood must see it.
Black and white makes gray and I see no
reason to step back in time. I
want the full color spectrum in my
world, separate colors, not tints of
gray. Hollywood, get real for a change!
But you know where this is going to
lead, don't you? Mark my words;
2008 will be Hollywood and the media
news ... the Good Southern Queen and the
Black Knight, a made for TV fantasy come
true. Hillary Clinton and Barak
Osama ... Osoma Bama ... Hussain Baroma
... Holy Ommama and the blond bombma!
My head reels!

bought a new Chrysler and returned to

couldn't get the radio to work. Fred,
the salesman, explained that the radio

"Nelson," Fred said to the radio. The
Radio replied, "Ricky or Willie?"
"Willie," he continued, and "On The Road

said, "Ray Charles," and in an instant
"Georgia On My Mind" replaced Willie
Nelson. And the display showed the
artist and song that was playing. I
drove away happy, and for the next few

Now It's Crappy Old News ...
New York State Gun Owners and others
will have their problems multiplied if
Elliot Spitzer wins the Governors race,
which appears today that he will.
Gun Shows
in State facilities will surely be in
the past and new anti-gun legislation
will only be a vote away after he takes
office. And have you seen photos or ads

afraid to show the voters that Patterson

may not be ready to turn over the reins
to a black Governor if in time of need?
I just wonder aloud why I never see or

Hillary Loses Senate Debate . . . Big
Time
By
Dick Morris & Eileen McGann ~ From
NewsMax.com
On Friday night, Hillary Clinton finally
had to face an unscripted, uncontrolled
media event — a debate with her feisty
opponent John Spencer, the Republican
candidate for Senator from New York this
year.
Spencer pinned her ears back with his
opening statement when he declared:
"I am the only person here who really
wants to be the Senator from
New York . . . she wants to be
President."
And then he exploited the opening by
reminding Hillary "you're not the
President yet."
During the debate, Spencer highlighted
Hillary's vote against the NSA's
wiretapping program and her efforts to
kill the Patriot Act.
John Spencer began his challenge to
Hillary tonight. The race starts today.
Hillary's huge financial advantage and
her lead in the polls was of little use
tonight because it was obvious that the
empress has no clothes.
While Hillary gave scripted, rehearsed
answers, Spencer challenged her failure
to deliver on her campaign promises of
200,000 new jobs and mocked her refusal
to accept blame for anything, pinning
the job loss on Bush and the North Korea
bomb on the State Department.
But beyond the words, there were the
appearances. Hillary Clinton was a
Richard Nixon look-alike tonight,
wearing pancake makeup, featuring hooded
eyes that never met the camera, and
looking like she felt — angry at having
to waste time justifying her Senate
tenure in something as trivial as an
election.
John Spencer may not beat Hillary, but
he sure made her sweat tonight. If she
wins by less than 12 points — the margin
Lazio lost by in 2000 — she will have a
lot of explaining to do. And John
Spencer, may just be the guy to make it
happen.
|
|
Senate and House seats for the
Republican majority are also on the line
in this coming election. If you fine
conservatives are still using your brain
I hope you use it to study the whole
picture and the consequences that will
come with a Republican loss.

Taking a

Tiger Woods
drove his

Excursion into
an Irish

An

greeted him
in typical

unaware who

"Top of

the Irish

doffing his

As
Tiger got
out of
the mammoth
vehicle, two
tees fell
out of
his
pocket.
"So what
are those,

the attendant.
"They're called

Tiger.
"And

inquired the

"Well,

Tiger.
"AW!

Happy Fourth of July...
Now when will we free Americans be free
again from undue taxation?
This was sent from a friend in Canada.
This is an interesting, if not
disgusting, story if only half true. I'd
like to add that Social Security is
basically a chain letter or pyramid
scheme the likes of which are against
the law in most States and that it
really doesn't matter whether you're a
Democrat or a Republican. In the future
you can look forward to higher FICA
taxes, lower benefits and a later
eligibility age. That's if the system is
even around in the future which is
doubtful after about 2030!
Many years ago in Seattle, two wonderful
neighbors, Elliott and Patty Roosevelt
came to my home to swim on a regular
basis. They were a great couple full of
laughter and stories that today I
continue to marvel at. Both are now
deceased, but their stories remain.
During the years of our friendship we
had many, many discussions about
Elliott's parents (President Franklin D.
and Eleanor Roosevelt) and how his
father and mother never intended for the
Social Security and Welfare programs to
turn out the way they are today. Elliott
used to say that if his parents returned
to earth and saw what the politicians
had done to their programs they would
have burned all of them in hell.
Here is a story I received today
regarding the Social Security Program
and I immediately thought of Elliott's
comments. I Hope you will read this and
think about it.
_____________________________________________
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat,
introduced the Social Security (FICA)
Program. He promised:
1.) That participation in the Program
would be completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only
have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of
their annual incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants
elected to put into the Program would be
deductible from their income for tax
purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put
into the independent "Trust Fund" rather
than into the General operating fund,
and therefore, would only be used to
fund the Social Security Retirement
Program, and no other Government
program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the
retirees would never be taxed as income.
Since many of us have paid into FICA for
years and are now receiving a Social
Security check every month -- and then
finding that we are getting taxed on 85%
of the money we paid to the Federal
government to "put away" -- you may be
interested in the following:
Q: Which Political Party took Social
Security from the independent "Trust
Fund" and put it into the General fund
so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the
democratically controlled House and
Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the
income tax deduction for Social Security
(FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing
Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore
casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote
as President of the Senate, while he was
Vice President of the US.
Q: Which Political Party decided to
start giving annuity payments to
immigrants?
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the
Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into
this country, and at age 65, began to
receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to
them, even though they never paid a dime
into it.
Then, after doing all this lying and
thieving and violating of the original
contract (FICA), the Democrats turn
around and tell you that the Republicans
want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is
uninformed citizens believe it!
... and you thought we were FREE.

June 9, 2006 ... The "I Don't Care
Letter" ...
This one I hope you can pass on and p-
ss them ALL OFF!!
WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or
aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic
people who brought it to our shores on
September 11, 2001? Were people from all
over the world, mostly Americans, not
brutally murdered that day, in downtown
Manhattan, across the Potomac from our
nation's capitol and in a field in
Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand
men, women and children die a horrible,
burning or crushing death that day, or
didn't they? And I'm supposed to care
that a copy of the Koran was
"desecrated" when an overworked American
soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well,
I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden
turns himself in and repents for
incinerating all those innocent people
on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when
the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere
possession of which is a crime in Saudi
Arabia. I'll care when Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry
for hacking off Nick Berg's head while
Berg screamed through his gurgling,
slashed throat.
(Well, Zarqawi won't be doing much now
that he is at room temperature. Way to
go, GI's !!)
I'll care when the cowardly so-called
"insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight
like men instead of disrespecting their
own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll
care when the mindless zealots who blow
themselves up in search of nirvana care
about the
innocent children within range of their
suicide bombs. I'll care when the
American media stops pretending that
their First Amendment liberties are
somehow derived from international law
instead of the United States
Constitution's Bill of Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story
about a brave Marine roughing up an
Iraqi terrorist to obtain information,
know this: I don't care! When I see a
fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi
prisoners who have been humiliated in
what amounts to a college hazing
incident, rest assured that I don't
care. When I see a wounded terrorist get
shot in the head when he is told not to
move because he might be booby- trapped,
you can take it to the bank that I don't
care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was
issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed
"special" food that is paid for by my
tax dollars, is complaining that his
holy book is being "mishandled," you can
absolutely believe in your heart of
hearts that I don't care. And by the
way, I've noticed that sometimes it's
spelled "Koran" and other times
"Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and
---- you got it, I DON'T CARE!
If you agree with this view point, pass
this on to all your e-mail friends.
Sooner or later, it'll get to the people
responsible for this ridiculous
behavior! If you don't agree, then by
all means hit the delete button. Should
you choose the latter, then please don't
complain when more atrocities committed
by radical muslims happen here in our
own great country.

June 4 ... The Castle Doctrine
... Your Right to not retreat, your home
is your Castle. How would the elephants
and jackasses vote in the NYS
Legislature?
About
two-thirds of the States have now passed
laws similar to Florida's Castle
Doctrine law passed in the spring of
2005 and more States are in the process.
Then why does New York State law require
its' citizens to run away from an
attacker or home intruder when we should
be able to defend our home, life and
property with similar or more force?
What would the current line up for the
Governor's Mansion do with a NYS Castle
Doctrine proposal? How would your
State Representative vote in his or her
Legislative house? It may be time
to think about it before our time to
vote for them comes around again.
Here is an article from Florida.
Florida passes Castle Doctrine law
At last, balance shifts away from
criminals
By MARION P. HAMMER
Published on: 05/02/05
Florida's new Castle Doctrine law
reverses the pendulum that for far too
long has swung in the direction of
protecting the rights of criminals over
the rights of their victims. The new law
simply says if a criminal breaks into
your home or your occupied vehicle, you
may presume he is there to do bodily
harm and you may use any force,
including deadly force, against him.
Marion P. Hammer, past president of the
National Rifle Association, is executive
director of Unified Sportsmen of
Florida.
The Castle Doctrine law also removes the
"duty to retreat" when you're outside
your home and in a place you have a
legal right to be. Consider the
following scenario: a woman is walking
down the street and is attacked by a
rapist who tries to drag her into an
alley. Under prior Florida law, the
woman had a legal "duty to retreat." The
victim of the attack was required to try
to run away. Not anymore. Today, that
woman has no obligation to retreat. If
she chooses, she may stand her ground
and fight. She may meet force with
force, including deadly force, if she
reasonably believes it is necessary to
prevent death or great bodily harm.
No one knows what is in the twisted mind
of a violent criminal. You can't expect
a victim to wait before taking action to
protect herself and say, "Excuse me, Mr.
Criminal, did you drag me into this
alley to rape and kill me or do you just
want to beat me up and steal my purse?"
Calling 911 won't save her life. The
victim has a split second to take action
to defend her life. That decision must
be hers, not a prosecutor who isn't
anywhere near the scene. Law-abiding
citizens shouldn't have to worry about
being prosecuted for doing what the
Constitution and common sense give us
all the right to do.
Law-abiding citizens only want to be
able to protect themselves. Proof of
that statement can be found by examining
the public record of Florida's lawful
firearms owners. Of more than 1 million
Florida gun owners who were issued
licenses to carry concealed firearms for
self-defense over the past 18 years,
roughly 0.0001 of 1 percent misused
their guns and had their licenses
revoked. What other group has a better
record of responsible citizenship?
Survey research shows that at least half
of Florida's homes have firearms in
them, and there are approximately 6
million individual law-abiding gun
owners. The overwhelming majority say
the primary reason they own guns is for
personal protection.
That's what this law is all about:
restoring your right under the Castle
Doctrine and the Constitution to protect
yourself, your family and others. Your
home is your castle, and you have a
right — as ancient as time itself — to
absolute safety in it. Florida law is
now on the side of law-abiding victims
rather than criminals. And that is the
way it is supposed to be.

May 25 ...
Mexicans Supply Cheap Labor!
Isn't that what the whole immigration
issue is about? Business's don't want to
pay a decent wage, consumers don't want
expensive produce, and the Government
will tell you that Americans don't want
the low paying 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 Mexican who sneaks in here with
his wife and five children. He takes a
job for five or six dollars an hour. At
that wage with six dependents he pays no
income tax, yet at the end of the year
if he files income tax 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 while requiring 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, the taxpayer,
expense.
He doesn't have to worry about car
insurance, life insurance, or home
owners insurance. We the taxpayers
provide Spanish language signs,
bulletins and printed material. He
cannot be fired, harassed, or sued. He
and his family receive the equivalent of
$20. to $30.00 an hour in benefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.
or $6.00 an hour left after paying
their bills and his.
And we, the taxpayers, also pay for
increased crime, graffiti, and trash
clean up. "Cheap labor?" YEAH, RIGHT!
FOR WHO?
Now Consider Cheap Tomatoes!
This note is from a retired teacher
whose wife is still a teacher in the
Riverside California area and has been
for many years. The attached is her
first hand knowledge...
"As you all listen to the news about the
student protests over illegal
immigration there are some things that
you should be aware of. As most of you
know my wife is 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 student's
average in the lower socio-economic
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.
My wife tells me that 100% of the
students in her school and other Title 1
schools are on the free breakfast, 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.
She estimates 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 baby-sitters or
having family watch their kids. She was
ordered to spend $700,000 on her
department or risk losing funding for
the upcoming year even though there was
little need for anything; her budget was
already substantial. She ended up buying
brand new computers for their 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.
She has had to intervene several times
for young and substitute teachers whose
classes consist of many illegal
immigrant students here in the country
less then 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 to not only be
in this country but to demand rights,
privileges, and entitlements? To my
conservative friends: I hope you're
really proud of how George W. Bush has
helped to sell-out this country with his
pro-illegal alien policy. I voted for
him too, but on this issue he is a
disaster.
To my bleeding-heart liberal friends 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. We have higher
insurance, Medical facilities closing,
higher medical costs, more crime, lower
standards of education in our schools,
overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc. As
for me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
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 leave and return voluntarily?
There are many hardworking Hispanic/
American citizens that contribute to our
country and many that I consider my true
friends. We should encourage and accept
those Hispanics who have done it the
right and legal way.
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 an American culture
that has become so weak and politically
correct that we don't have the will to
do anything about it. It makes my blood
boil!"
But we have assets in times of turmoil!
Let's say a big earthquake with the
strength of 8.1 on the Richter scale has
hit Mexico. It is tragic, I know, but
two million Mexicans have died and over
a million are injured. The country is
totally ruined and the government
doesn't know where to start and is
asking for help to rebuild. The rest of
the world is in shock.
Canada is sending troopers to help the
Mexican army control the riots. Saudi
Arabia is sending oil. Other Latin
American countries are sending all sorts
of supplies. The European community
(except France) is sending food and
money.
And the good 'ol United States, not to
be outdone, is sending two million
replacement Mexicans carrying Mexican
and USA flags with a big sign saying,
"WE CAN SEND ALL YOU NEED!"
God Bless AMERICA !!

April 13, 2006 ....
Read Robin Williams' plan for  Liberty
and Order!
A GOOD PLAN..
Robin Williams, wearing a shirt that
says "I love New York" in Arabic.
The Statue of Liberty is no longer
saying "Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses." She's got a
baseball bat and she's yelling, 'you
want a piece of me?' " ... Robin
Williams
Though I like it and it sounds like what
he would say, the following plan
circulating is NOT from Robin Williams.
I wish I thought of it, though.
What we need now is for our UN
Ambassador to stand up and repeat this
message. Supposedly, this is Robin
Williams' plan... (Hard to argue with
this logic!) "I see a lot of
people yelling for peace but I have not
heard of a plan for peace. So, here's
one plan."
1) "The US will apologize to the world
for our interference in their affairs,
past and present. You know Hitler,
Mussolini, Stalin, Tojo, Noriega,
Milosevic, Hussein, and the rest of
those 'good ole boys', we will never
interfere again.
2) We will withdraw our troops from all
over the world starting with Germany,
South Korea, the Middle East and the
Philippines, they don't want us there.
We would station these troops at our
borders. No one allowed in
sneaking through holes in the fence.
3) All illegal aliens have 90 days to
get their affairs together and leave,
we'll give them a free trip home.
After 90 days the remainder will be
gathered up and deported immediately,
regardless of whom or where they are,
they're illegal! France will welcome
them in.
4) All future visitors will be
thoroughly checked and limited to a 90
day Visa unless given a special work
permit! No one from a terrorist
nation will be allowed in. If you
don't like it there, change it yourself
and don't hide here. Asylum would never
be available to anyone. We don't
need any more cab drivers, motel owners
or 7-11 cashiers.
5) No foreign 'students' over age 21.
The older ones are the bombers. If
they don't attend classes, they get a
'D' and it's 'Sayonara Baby'.
6) The US will make a strong effort to
become self-sufficient energy wise. This
will include developing nonpolluting
sources of energy but will require a
temporary drilling of oil in the Alaskan
wilderness. The caribou will have
to cope for a while.
7) Offer Saudi Arabia and other oil
producing countries $10 a barrel for
their oil. If they don't like it, we go
someplace else. They can go
somewhere else to sell their production.
8) If there is a famine or other natural
catastrophe in the world, we will not
'interfere'. They can pray to
Allah or whomever for seeds, rain,
cement or whatever else they need.
Besides most of what we give them is
stolen or given to their army. The
people who need it most get very little,
if anything.
9) Ship the UN Headquarters to an
isolated island someplace and make a new
TV Reality Show out it. We don't
need the spies and fair weather friends
here. Besides, the building would make a

Why Kids Grow up Hating Mexicans ...
A little Mexican boy goes into the
kitchen where his mom is baking.
He puts his hand in the flour and wipes
it all over his face.
"Mom, look, I'm a white boy." His
mom slaps him in the face and says, "Go
show your father".
He goes to his dad in the living room
and says, "Look dad, I'm a white boy."
His dad slaps him hard in the face and
says, "Go show your grandmother." The
boy goes in his grandmothers room and
says, "Mira, abuelita, I'm a white boy."
His grandmother slaps him in the face
and sends him back to his mother.
His mother says, "See. Did you learn
anything from that?"
To which the boy replies, "Sure did. I
have only been white for five minutes
and I already hate you Mexicans."

... and see
Teddy's Immigration ideas, I totally
agree!
April 8, 2006 ... I personally believe
in Teddy's fine position on Immigration
and think that the whole Country should
now unite behind him so his ideas become
the law of the land. Don't you?
"In the first place, we should insist
that if the immigrant who comes here in
good faith becomes an American and
assimilates himself to us, he shall be
treated on an exact equality with
everyone else, for it is an outrage to
discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or
origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's
becoming in every facet an American, and
nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American, but
something else also, isn't an American
at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag... We have room for
but one language here, and that is the
English language...
and we have room for but one sole
loyalty and that is a loyalty to the
American people."
Theodore Roosevelt's ideas on Immigrants
and being an AMERICAN in 1907.
I totally agree with his sentiments.

If you are ready for the Adventure of a
Lifetime, TRY THIS:
Enter
Mexico illegally. Never mind
immigration quotas, visas,
international law, or any of that
nonsense.
Once there, demand that the local
government provide free medical care for
you and your entire family. Demand
bilingual nurses and doctors.
Also, demand
free bilingual local and national
government forms, bulletins, road signs,
etc.
Don't forget to procreate abundantly.
Deflect any criticism of this allegedly
irresponsible reproductive behavior
with,
"It is a cultural
U.S.A. thing. You would not understand,
pal."
Keep your
American
identity
strong. Fly Old Glory from your
rooftop, or proudly display it in your
front window and on your car bumper.
Speak
only English at home and in public and
insist that your children do likewise.
Demand classes on American culture in
the Mexican school system.
Demand a
local Mexican driver license. This
will afford other legal rights and will
go far to legitimize your unauthorized,
illegal presence in
Mexico.
Drive around with no liability insurance
and ignore local traffic laws.
Also
insist that local Mexican law
enforcement teach English to all its
officers.
And ...
Good luck! You'll need it because
you could demand for the rest of time or
more likely, soon be dead! Because
it will never happen! It will not
happen in Mexico or any other country in
the world except right here in the good
old United States, Land of the naive and
stupid, with particularly idiotic
politically correct politicians.
Go ahead and try the above in
Mexico!!

April 4... Tomorrow, 2 minutes and 3
seconds after 1:00 AM the time and date

it but learned about it here! Now you
may resume your Normal Life.

April 2, 2006 ...
My old retirement plan just hasn't
worked out quite the way I had hoped.
So, I now have a New Retirement Plan
that I firmly believe will be breaking
news and become the wave of the future.
The stock market picks my personal
advisor urged upon my wallet went
something like this:
Purchasing
$1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago,
now nets $49.00.
With Enron, I have $16.50 left of the
original $1,000.00 investment.
With WorldCom, I have less than $5.00
left. My $1000.00 of K-Mart ended up to
be zero with bankruptcy. (But I do find
it ironic that the new K-Mart had enough
of my money left to buy Sears Company).
The $2000.00 I put in Prodigy I
shouldn't have. So, rethinking
these investments and living the stress
of my loss I've come up with a better
solution to my Retirement pleasure and
strategy. I have concluded that if
I had purchased $1000.00 worth of beer
one year ago, drank
all the beer and in the process had a
good time with less stress, then turned
in the cans for the aluminum recycling
REFUND, I would now have $214.00.
Based on the above, the best current
investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle. I'm calling it the
401-Keg Plan. Buy Beer Stock!

Feb 15, Dick shoots Lawyer .... Good
Boy!
The Talk Shows are having a field day at
the expense of our VP Dick Cheney after
accidentally shooting his lawyer friend
while quail hunting. I've been in the
same situation and believe me it is not
hard to do. One false move by any of a
variety of parties involved and a quick
accident can occur. But it is still
funny, damn it!!!! This from
NewsMax.com ...
NBC’s
Tonight Show host Jay Leno offered these
gems:
"I
guess the guy is going to be OK,” Leno
said. "When the ambulance got there, out
of force of habit they put Cheney on the
stretcher … When people found out he
shot a lawyer, his popularity is now at
92 percent.”
Comedy
Central’s host of "The Daily Show,” Jon
Stewart, placed this incident in its
proper historical perspective,
recognizing that Cheney was the first
U.S. vice president to shoot someone
since Aaron Burr, who shot Alexander
Hamilton during a duel in 1804:
"Hamilton, of course, was shot in a duel
with Aaron Burr over issues of honor,
integrity and political maneuvering,”
Stewart said. "Whittington? Mistaken for
a bird.”
Top
radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh put a
political spin on the accident, offering
his listeners a choice:
"Would
you rather go hunting with Dick Cheney
or riding in a car over a bridge with
Ted Kennedy?” Limbaugh asked. "At least
Cheney takes you to the hospital.”
Even
politicians got in on the act, including
some who are genuinely fond of the vice
president.
Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, brother to
President George W. Bush, attended the
Florida State Fair Governor’s Day
Luncheon on Monday, and was given a
promotional sticker to wear at the
event.
Bush
placed the bright orange sticker – the
same color of a hunter’s vest - on his
chest and quipped, "I’m a little
concerned that Dick Cheney is going to
walk in.”
Foreign newspapers also had a field day
at the vice president’s expense.
According to a report in The Seattle
Times, two overseas headlines were most
noteworthy.
The
Herald in Scotland read, "Cheney Bags a
Lawyer,” while the Sydney Morning Herald
summarized with this headline, "Cheney
Hunts Quail and the World Ducks.”

'Twas
the Night before Christmas and all thru
the house,
not a
creature was stirring, not even a mouse
...
A DIFFERENT
CHRISTMAS POEM
The embers glowed
softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the
room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep,
her head on my chest, My daughter
beside me, angelic in
rest.
Outside the snow
fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard
to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights
in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic
that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were
heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded
by love I would sleep.
In perfect
contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered,
perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't
loud, and it wasn't too near, But I
opened my eyes when
it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough,
I didn't quite know, Then the
sure sound of
footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a
tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the
door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the
cold and the dark of the night, A
lone figure stood,
his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled,
some twenty years old, Perhaps a
Marine, huddled here
in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he
looked up and smiled, Standing
watch over me, and my
wife and my child.
"What are you doing?"
I asked without fear, "Come in
this moment, it's
freezing out here!
Put down your pack,
brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home
on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I
saw his eyes shift, Away from
the cold and the snow
blown in drifts..
To the window that
danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he
said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by
choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to
stand at the front of the line, That
separates you from
the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or
beg or implore me, I'm proud to
stand here like my
fathers before me.
My Gramps died at
'Pearl on a day in December," Then
he sighed, "That's a
Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his
watch in the jungles of 'Nam', And
now it is my turn and
so, here I am.
I've not seen my own
son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me
pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he
carefully pulled from his bag, The
red, white, and
blue... an American flag.
"I can live through
the cold and the being alone, Away
from my family, my
house and my home.
I can stand at my
post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a
foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the
weight of killing another, Or lay down
my life with my
sister and brother..
Who stand at the
front against any and all, To ensure
for all time that
this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside,"
he said, "harbor no fright, Your
family is waiting and
I'll be all right."
"But isn't there
something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I
asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too
little for all that you've done,
For being away from
your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a
tear that held no regret, "Just
tell us you love us,
and never forget.
To fight for our
rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own
watch, no matter how long.
For when we come
home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember
we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough,
and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to
you as you mattered to us.
WE ALL NEED TO PRAY
FOR OUR
MILITARY PERSONNEL
EVERY NIGHT! From:
BRIAN E. PERAZONE
MAJOR, CA

"There's a Nip in the Air this morning ~
must be another Pearl Harbor Day !" |
04-28-04 Great New Items Are Added to
Bottom ...
this is like the past two years in
review ~ lest we forget.
I don’t know why the media is so
surprised by the commitment, and thus
enlistment, of our brave men and women
to the Armed Forces.
If I were nineteen again, I would want
to go and kick ass too.
And today, there are plenty of butts
that need burning.
With the wisdom of youth like truth from
the mouths of babes, there is still a
sense of patriotic duty and now almost
an urgency in our younger generation.
So, to the liberals, the
non-believers, the appeasers and the
remnants of the me generation, you have
lost the battle for the hearts and minds
of our youth.
And thank God for them and for America’s
future.
Is it only me
who notices dedicated expressions on the
faces of our troops in battle footage
against the enemy?
And that these jihadists, these seekers
of seventy virgins, need to hide their
mugs with their Mothers’ aprons.
These “Thugs of the Middle East” not
only hide behind the veil of religion
but also in the Mosques and holy places
of Islam.
How will even one virgin recognize a
dead terrorist with covered features? And when our military knows them it is easier to send them on
their journey.
Come on you Muslim Warriors of God, you
Palestinian Patriots, you Defenders of
Islam, you Mobsters of Mid-east Mayhem,
have more gonzalees than your pre-teen
brethren and show your unwrapped faces
on news time Al-Jazeera TV and let our
soldiers know who you are, and also --
happy trails to you.
Can I clear up
the problem with the Democratic nominee
for President of the Greatest Country in
the entire World, John Kerry?
He is a Dork! Why would anyone in their right mind want to put the likes of
the new JFK at the helm of the Biggest
and Baddest Battle Star in this time of
war or peace?
Former presidential pair still like him,
I guess.
Mr. Clinton passed on his hairdresser
and Mr. Gore, now that he probably
reaped enough interest, has passed on
his remaining six million dollars in
campaign funds to fellow dems, most to
Kerry.
And, oh ye-ah!
Our important First Amendment Rights,
now vehemently defended by radio
interests against FCC rules to curb the
curse words.
So shock-jock, Howard Sterns, now wants
to replace President Bush ‘cause the
rules of decency stem from his
administration. I never see the libs who defend their right to say anything
ever defend the right of Second
Amendment advocates. You know, the right to own and shoot a gun instead of your
mouth off.
The leniency of using F_ _ _ as an
adjective in like “You f_ _ ing
asshole!”
is not good enough.
Sterns wants it for a verb – which is
verboten in FCC public land – so he can
simply say “F _ _ _ you!”
on the air.
Oh, Lordy, where has the world gone
wrong?
And Fallujah,
just keep f_ _ _ ing off and you’ll see
some censorship by the Big Red Bad Ass
US Eagle Shit on your head.
As a quote from one US Soldier “We’ve
been playing patty cake with them these
last few days.” Good night, Iraq.
05-12-04
I just received this letter from
one of our NEACA Members and it was
obviously well thought out and describes
one persons' concerns about our
Country's direction. Terry lives
in a small town in the NY State
Adirondacks. He likes guns, enjoys
hunting and works as an engineer.
He, and many of his peers, who are real
Republican in their philosophy have many
questions about the Party leadership and
direction. In the past elections,
in what should be a Republican
stronghold, the Democrats won.
Terry and I have had political
conversations and I know how he feels.
I can only hope that the people who
really matter also listen to the lonely
cries echoing from the mountainside and
heed the message borne on the wind.
Below, is a
message I received by e-mail about a
Wife's Pride and I thought
you might like it. It follows my letter,
however it is unverifiable as to the
author or its authenticity.
If true, this is a wonderful homage
to our truly dedicated and honest
service people who are obeying their
leaders directives and are sincerely
making supreme sacrifices to deter
terror in the world. Deep in my heart I
feel her compassion and revere what the
soldiers have given. This is a
wonderful Country and worth defending
the principles it stands for, such as
honesty, morality, decency and the
privileges that free people live with
daily. If one honors our soldiers and
is sincere about it, one would be
offended when people ridicule their
courageous deeds in the name of the
American society. This is the case with
this incident. And recently I have been
told about how a silver star winner and
triple purple heart winner is a fraud
and joined the Navy to evade the dangers
of the foot soldier. I think to myself
that the silver star is only one step
away from a congressional medal of honor
and to disgrace the recipient is
disgusting and repulsive to that person
and any that might earn one. Forget that
the person might like hominy and grits
or fly a confederate flag on his home
or have some other manner of living that
we might or might not all agree with.
That is one of the reasons that soldiers
and Navy personnel sacrifice so much to
protect this great nation.
Some of our great
Congressional Representatives (and I
don't mean just those Democrats) have
come forth recently and have stated
unequivocally that our soldiers have
been sent into harms way in insufficient
numbers to protect them (yes, I know -
Clinton cut the military - just like
Reagan when he closed all the bases and
Bush who is closing more). The fact
that large ammo dumps were left
unguarded so the enemy could raid them
and use the gun powder to make bombs and
kill our great soldiers; the Red Cross
has been warning of misconduct and a two
star general, assigned to investigate
problems, has also said the service
people are understaffed, untrained and
UNSUPERVISED!!!!!
I sincerely hope
that this conflict was best spent in
Iraq instead of Afghanistan, where the
majority of the known terrorists have
been reported by our "intelligence?" I
sincerely hope that the loss of all
these American lives wasn't in vain to
satisfy private interests or vengeful
acts. We, as Americans, should question
our direction when several of the
Cabinet officials are warning us that
this might be the case and, as they see
it, are the directions and desires of
our top leaders.
I wonder how our
top leader can really be serving our
best interests when he suggests that it
would be a really good Idea to allow the
illegal (YES ILLEGAL) immigrants living
in this country the automatic right to
reside here as citizens. That one
statement has caused a flood of
immigrants into this country and the
flood of people has crippled the Border
Patrol, Coast Guard,
Immigration and Naturalization, Customs,
the Navy and all the other front line
defenses that would likely stop the
terrorist in the first line of defense.
To me, it is totally irresponsible and
un-Republican to act this way. Is it
just to get votes or is it to allow
cheap labor to the south western
states.?
I am troubled by
the obvious conflict of interest in
business sent overseas - especially when
our great military is reporting multi -
million dollar fraud by these
companies. I believe as you do, that we
should honor our great military people
that are honesty doing the work we have
assigned them. Even when they are
warning us about improprieties within.
This government is set up on a system of
checks and balances and you can't revere
one part (our blessed front line
soldiers) without revering the people
reporting behind the scenes. Like the
FBI agent that reported the likelihood
of these events, the military reporting
illegal charges to the services -
cheating our service people out of money
best spent to defend their positions.
Or like the people who reported that in
the days following the terrible tragedy
that 24 of Osama's family members and
other Royal Saudi family members were
given top white house security clearance
to leave the country, protected by an
FBI agent for each planeload - when
grieving Americans weren't even allowed
to fly next to their lost kin.
As good
Republicans and good Americans we must
insure that our honest beliefs are
correctly managed by our leaders and if
they are not, then it is only right that
we change those leaders before the
opposition party does it for us. It
isn't as if there aren't plenty of
signals out there that don't warn us.
We can't be a blind person in a
roomful of deaf people.
I won't
question the righteousness of the prison
scandal. I will wonder why it ever got
so out of hand. Where in hell was the
leadership and supervision and training,
etc.?
Dave, you don't
need to be a brain surgeon to realize
that the Democrats are totally missing
the boat! If they truly represented the
average person then they would support
our right to gun ownership and guarantee
themselves about 50-70 million more
votes and lock in every election in the
country. Such fools!!!! I may not
agree with a stupid boss I work for but
I do listen and try to learn from him.
He might say something intelligent and I
could learn from it. In the same
regard, even though I disagree with the
social attitude of the others I will
listen to the positive things that come
out and the positive things my
representatives have to say. Then make
up my own mind about things
intelligently (as much as My
intelligence will allow me to achieve).
God bless this
country and May God direct the
leadership to honest and positive
achievements in using
our money and support. And may he bless
you and your family for the years of
what I believe is one of the more
intelligent efforts to organize our
shows. Thanks, Terry.
Wife's Pride
(Unverified Story)
I was sitting alone in one of those
loud, casual steak houses that you
find all over the country. You know
the type - a bucket of peanuts on
every table, shells littering the
floor, and a bunch of perky college
kids racing around with long neck
beers and sizzling platters.
Taking a sip of
my iced tea, I studied the crowd
over the rim of my glass. My gaze
lingered on a group enjoying their
meal. They wore no uniform to
identify their branch of service,
but they were definitely "military:"
clean shaven, cropped haircut, and
that "squared away" look that comes
with pride.
Smiling sadly, I
glanced across my table to the empty
seat where my husband usually sat.
It had only been a few months since
we sat in this very booth, talking
about his upcoming deployment to the
Middle East.
That was when he
made me promise to get a sitter for
the kids, come back to
this restaurant once a month and
treat myself to a nice steak. In
turn he would treasure the thought
of me being here, thinking about him
until he returned home to me.
I fingered the
little flag pin I constantly wear
and wondered where he was at this
very moment. Was he safe and warm?
Was his cold any better? Were
my letters getting through to him?
As I pondered
these thoughts, high pitched female
voices from the next booth broke
into my thoughts.
"I don't know what Bush
is thinking about. Invading Iraq.
You'd think that man would learn
from his old man's mistakes. Good
Lord, what an idiot! I can't believe
he is even in office. You do know,
he stole the election."
I cut into my
steak and tried to ignore them, as
they began an endless tirade running
down our president. I thought about
the last night I spent with my
husband, as he prepared to deploy.
He had just returned from getting
his smallpox and anthrax shots. The
image of him standing in our kitchen
packing his gas mask still gives me
chills.
Once again the
women's voices invaded my thoughts.
"It is all about oil, you know. Our
soldiers will go in and rape and
steal all the oil they can in the
name of 'freedom'. Humph!
I wonder how many innocent people
they'll kill without giving it a
thought? It's pure greed, you know."
My chest
tightened as I stared at my wedding
ring. I could still see how handsome
my husband looked in his "mess
dress" the day he slipped it on my
finger. I just wondered what he was
wearing now. Probably his desert
uniform, affectionately dubbed
"coffee stains" with a heavy
bulletproof vest over it.
"You know, we
should just leave Iraq alone. I
don't think they are hiding any
weapons. In fact, I bet it's all a
big act just to increase the
president's popularity. That's all
it is, padding the military budget
at the expense of our social
security and education. And, you
know what else? We're just asking
for another 9-ll. I can't say when
it happens again that we didn't
deserve it."
Their words
brought to mind the war protesters I
had watched gathering outside our
base. Did no one appreciate the
sacrifice of brave men and women,
who leave their homes and family to
ensure our freedom? Do they even
know what "freedom" is?
I glanced at the
table where the young men were
sitting, and saw their courageous
faces change. They had stopped
eating and looked at each other
dejectedly, listening to the women
talking.
"Well, I,
for one, think it's just deplorable
to invade Iraq, and I am certainly
sick of our tax dollars going to
train professional baby killers we
call a military."
Professional baby
killers? I thought about what a
wonderful father my husband is, and
of how long it would be before he
would see our children again.
That's it!
Indignation rose up inside me.
Normally reserved, pride in my
husband gave me a brassy boldness I
never realized I had. Tonight one
voice will answer on behalf of our
military, and let her pride in our
troops be known.
Sliding out of my
booth, I walked around to the
adjoining booth and placed my hands
flat on their table. Lowering myself
to eye level with them, I smilingly
said, "I couldn't help overhearing
your conversation.
"You see, I'm
sitting here trying to enjoy my
dinner alone. And, do you know why?
Because my husband, whom I love with
all my heart, is halfway around the
world defending your right to say
rotten things about him."
"Yes, you have
the right to your opinion, and what
you think is none of my business.
However, what you say in public is
something else, and I will not sit
by and listen to you ridicule MY
country, MY president, MY husband,
and all the other fine American men
and women who put their lives on the
line, just so you can have the
"freedom" to complain. Freedom is an
expensive commodity, ladies. Don't
let your actions cheapen it."
I must have been
louder than I meant to be, because
the manager came over to inquire if
everything was all right. "Yes,
thank you," I replied. Then turning
back to the women, I said, "Enjoy
the rest of your meal."
As I returned to
my booth applause broke out. I was
embarrassed for making a scene, and
went back to my half eaten steak.
The women picked up their check and
scurried away.
After finishing
my meal, and while waiting for my
check, the manager returned with a
huge apple cobbler ala mode.
"Compliments of those soldiers," he
said. He also smiled and said the
ladies tried to pay for my dinner,
but that another couple had beaten
them to it.
When I asked who,
the manager said they had already
left, but that the gentleman was a
veteran, and wanted to take care of
the wife of "one of our boys."
With a lump in my
throat, I gratefully turned to the
soldiers and thanked them for the
cobbler. Grinning from ear to ear,
they came over and surrounded the
booth. "We just wanted to thank you,
ma'am. You know, we can't get into
confrontations with civilians, so we
appreciate what you did."
As I drove home,
for the first time since my
husband's deployment, I didn't feel
quite so alone. My heart was filled
with the warmth of the other diners
who stopped by my table, to relate
how they, too, were proud of my
husband, and would keep him in their
prayers. I knew their flags would
fly a little higher the next day.
Perhaps they
would look for more tangible ways to
show their pride in our country, and
the military who protect her. And
maybe, just maybe, the two women who
were railing against our country,
would pause for a minute to
appreciate all the freedom America
offers, and the price it pays to
maintain it's freedom.
As for me, I have
learned that one voice CAN make a
difference. Maybe the next time
protesters gather outside the gates
of the base where I live, I will
proudly stand on the opposite side
with a sign of my own. It will
simply say, "Thank You!"

To those who fought for our Nation:
Freedom has a flavor the protected
will never know. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

THE FINAL SOLUTION
Why is it so clear to me, the solution
to America’s problems today, that is;
and most people, especially our
politicians who could actually implement
the solution, don’t seem to have a clue.
Nor, does my final solution have
anything to do with the espousal by
Hitler.
However, during World War Two Japanese,
Italian and German aliens were interred
in camps to relieve the problems of
internal espionage and possible acts of
war within the boundaries of the USA.
It was then certainly an upheaval of
families and absolute infringements of
life, liberty and pursuits of happiness.
Aliens of those mentioned ethnicities
were definitely relieved of any form of
American or Western justice, as were
many American citizens of those
descents, some voluntary and some not.
The American homeland however, was made
safe during a time of war and strife.
We again are in a world war.
As in the 1940’s there are still
pacifists, atheists, religious zealots,
homosexuals, child molesters, illegal
aliens, and all other sorts of fringe
beings roaming free in America.
The difference today is they have merged
into the main stream, they know how to
garner media attention and they have
open agendas with friends in high
places.
They also have the American Civil
Liberties Union, as well as a non-ending
supply of suit happy lawyers.
Times have changed dramatically in sixty
years.
Still, sometimes the simpler solutions
to major problems should not be swept
aside with yesterday’s values.
Our war today is with terrorists; the
majority of terrorists are Middle
Eastern Muslims, internment camps were
used effectively during our last World
War, ergo – internment camps for Muslims
appear apropos.
This then, is the beginning of the
solution to limit free roaming of
possible, and perhaps probable, persons
intent on internal espionage and acts of
war or sabotage.
Cruel and unjust punishment you ask?
Perhaps, but not unusual and certainly
not unwarranted.
A choice of relocation to their former
homeland could be offered.
Then a reasonably comfortable
alternative lifestyle would be given to
Muslims or Middle Eastern ethnicities in
a safe, cohesive environment and
confinement.
Can we ask why would a country that was
sabotaged by Arabian Airline Pilots
still allow Arabs to fly or take flying
lessons within our borders?
Why should Middle Eastern persons be
allowed to drive large trucks throughout
our land when a mode of operendi is for
those same ethnics to truck bomb our
buildings?
If a farmer is worried about a fox
outside his coup, why would he invite
the fox to live with his chickens?
Years ago the farmer would shoot the
fox, problem over. Today he might only trap him humanely or scare him away.
However, even as years have passed, the
fox is still the fox; it still wants to
eat our chickens. Radical Muslims still want to bomb our buildings.
The beginning of the American solution
is internment camps, deportation and
closing of our borders to possible
problem people who sympathize with those
whom we are at war.
The tightening of our borders is a key
link in the solution chain.
Business people dependent on cheap labor
insist the immigrant is essential.
Americans, it’s said, won’t work for the
low wages.
They won’t stoop to the low esteem of
farmhand, picker, dishwasher, busboy or
maid.
Then, if big agriculture and business is
at the cause of illegal immigration and
their chief beneficial recipients, as
proud and generous Americans, why should
we all just standby and see these
immigrants being exploited?
We all say we abhor child labor in third
world countries.
Why condone the same just under our
noses? With no illegal immigrants, no exploitation; another problem
solved.
If illegal immigrants were stopped and
deported and if illegals already here
were found and deported, it would be a
huge step to clear our land of illegals.
But, they would just come back tomorrow,
they say.
Tough times try men’s souls, as well as
troubled times.
Deterring people from illegally crossing
our borders is quite simple.
Unlike the prior Russians and the Berlin
Wall East Germans who shot people when
they tried to leave, I think we have a
right of defense and may shoot people
who try to circumvent the proper
procedural entry.
Yes, a tough solution to a tougher
problem.
Mexico won’t like it, you say?
I say Mexico may be part of the problem,
but shooting a few illegal aliens may be
a big part of the solution.
And, I personally have nothing against
the Mexican people.
However, I don’t believe the Mexican
Government appreciates Hondurans,
Columbians, or even Americans sneaking
into their country.
They actually shoot them.
The large farms couldn’t operate without
the cheap labor provided from down
under, is one argument.
Well, I guess they will either have to
raise their wage scale, charge more
money for their produce, or go out of
business.
Or, perhaps being a small farmer would
actually become profitable again with
the large farms out of business.
Was that a bad thing fifty or sixty
years ago?
But who would work the land?
Who would stoop to pick tomatoes?
Perhaps another link in the solution
chain would be the drastic cut and
steady elimination of welfare.
When one gets real hungry, maybe one
would stoop to pick up a penny or
nickel.
I don’t have to be hungry and I stoop
for change, though I know many of us are
way too proud – or not hungry enough.
Or one may even stoop to look for a job,
even if it was to pick tomatoes.
A large part of the solution is in
overhauling our welfare state.
Eliminating liberals in halls of power
would go a long way to ending dependency
on the dole. Remember, the worst thing that could happen to liberals or
left leaning Democrats is that Americans
stood on their own two feet.
Without dependants they would have no
constituents.
What God fearing American Christian, who
is free to work and live and hunt and
fish as our fore fathers did, would need
a liberal?
Another problem solved.
Americans should strive to always do
better, seek an education to provide a
better life and live the golden rule of
doing to others, as we would have others
do for us.
Can you tell me why some States in our
Union, like New York and recently
Kansas, would provide free education and
even higher learning to illegal aliens
on a free basis but deny funds to its’
own American citizens?
It is true.
Simply listen to the current events or
read the national news.
Our American colleges and Universities
have sadly become bastions of
liberalism.
Today, if you pray to the devil and are
a homosexual, illegal minority in
America, you have it made!
I think even the Indians want to be
queer with envy.
Our pillars of higher learning are not
part of the American solution but a good
portion of the problem.
Deportation; sounds like an easy to use
tool of legal enforcement. Not so in America, especially if you are an illegal alien.
A cop can stop a car for a traffic check
and noticing contraband or drugs, arrest
that American citizen.
If a cop checked a license and found an
illegal alien however, he cannot arrest
an illegal and hence, never deportation
one would see.
A doctor can, and in some cases must,
report you an American citizen, for
slapping sense into your kid’s head but
can’t report when treating an illegal
alien.
Do I see a problem with the pattern?
Illegal protected, American
citizen dejected.
On and on we could go where the plight
of the meek and weak outweigh the right
of the American white.
And no, I am not prejudiced against any
race or color or creed.
We all are Americans, we all were
immigrants at one time, and we all
deserve equal justice and our own
pursuit of happiness.
The point is, are our liberal pursuits
of individual satisfaction and happiness
now infringing on the right of the
majority?
Two hundred years ago one could shoot a
robber as a matter of course.
A hundred years ago one could still
shoot an attacker as a matter of course.
In this year if you shoot your mouth off
at a homo or a minority – you may land
in jail.
As the song goes, “Something’s Got to
Give?”
The American way is surely not today.
And whether my solution is final or just
finally beginning the cure, one link at
a time needs to be forged again to win
back America.
Listening to its’ problems and forming
an opinion is a start for each of us.
Common sense and common duty must
prevail.
Our American values were not trampled
upon sixty years ago nor do they need be
now.
But concise and abrupt steps need to
emerge from our lawmakers to return
America to Americans. Politicians need to know, we know and know how to defend our
land and our rights and regain our
cherished values. The way is by law and by vote.
Those of us who don’t know enough to
vote – and vote right – may inflict
their ignorance on us all.
They are truly the one big problem to
the solution.
This year vote your conscience, vote
American.

A Response to the Solution
Reply- I do believe that the Interned in
this country were entirely Japanese
Americans, and not German or Italian.
In fact, many German and Italian
Americans fought and died for us during
the war in
Europe
and the Pacific.
Also, we know many Blacks (sometimes
referred to as African-Americans,
several generations removed) fought and
died for the Allies, though segregated
and treated with less dignity than
captured German soldiers fighting
against us.
Oops, on our part.
The problem with racism and
reverse-racism and now “tolerance” is it
all ends up being the same thing:
bigotry.
However, since there is the potential
for Social disorder, terrorism, a second
Civil War, and even World War III, we
need to focus on ALL of our problems and
prioritize them for the new generation
growing up with
Liberal
Schools
and Teachers, CNN Seditious Bastards,
Ted Kennedy, and the "Hillary."
They are now to believe
Muslims are OK as long as we
don’t bother them, allow the sick scum
of the earth to take over this country
in the name of tolerance, and big
government of Taxes and Entitlements is
the answer to all social problems; not
the Family, self-reliance and
individual-responsibility.
I want to see all Muslims in the
US
either denounce Islam, Allah, the
Taliban and Al
Kieda himself, or get the Hell
OUT!!! We
have a better chance at killing all the
dumb bastards in someone else’s country
without hurting innocent Americans.
I’m sure we can find a Reservation for
them if we must.
They must repent or die.
There is no room for Muslims and
everyone else on this planet.
They keep telling us that and we
won’t listen.
Our Politicians are and ever shall be
too focused on re-election and not
enough on doing the job right.
If we had a President with a
little more backbone (Obviously he at
least has one and Kerry doesn’t) he
would say “to hell with the numbers” and
start just doing the RIGHT THING.
Why do we turn away Europeans who want
to be here and actually have something
to offer, when we allow millions of
Mexicans in without anything more than
two arms, two legs and a mouth to feed…
illegally, and then give them amnesty
since they are already part of the
community and “no one wants the jobs
they do anyway.”
We should deport ALL
illegals, and all useless welfare
recipients and pan-handlers.
Let someone else deal with them… we
could always find a Reservation or
Internment Camp for them.
Put them on a commune and make them work
for their supper, and stop taking (tax)
money from Americans.
The Well Regulated Militia is back on
its way once a few more Human Rights and
Constitutional protections are eroded.
Homos should go back in the closet and
stay there.
These perverted beings should be given
no remorse for their “life-style” choice
and abhorrent behavior in the same way
we look down on drug abusers and common
criminals.
If there is a mental illness that
affects these beings, we should find a
cure… but there’s always the
reservation.
With the inevitable Civil War looming
since nothing will be done,
contingencies need to be decided upon
and early warning signs discovered and
acted upon.
I think our friends in the World should
open their eyes and realize what’s left
to do.
As is the case with Terrorism, and our
Liberal back-stabbing seditious
bastards, there have to be good people
in other parts of the world who
understand what needs to be done. Our
Republic may not be strong enough to
hold itself right forever, and without
some outside help and a LOT more
backbone and strength inside, I fear it
may come to total destruction of our
enemies and a fight to the death for
everyone.
“Anonymous,”
Thanks.

That's Our Guy
Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Phoenix, Arizona
has been doing it the right way for
years.
* He has jail meals down to 40 cents a
serving ... and charges the inmates.
* He prohibits smoking and porno
magazines in the jail cells.
* He eliminated the inmates use of
weights.
* He cut off all but "G" movies for
inmates.
* He started chain gangs so the inmates
could do free work on County and City
projects. To be fair and sensitive
he began chain gangs for women so he
wouldn't get sued for discrimination.
* He took away cable TV until he found a
Federal Court Order required cable TV
for jails. Now he only lets in the
Disney Channel and the Weather Channel.
Asked why the Weather Channel was
allowed, he replied "So they will know
how hot it is going to be while working
on my chain gangs."
* He cut off coffee since it has zero
nutritional value. When the
inmates complained he told them, "This
isn't the Ritz, if you don't like it
don't come back!"
* He bought Newt Gingrich's lecture
series on videotape and pipes it into
the cells. When asked by a
reporter if he had any lecture series
done by a Democrat, he replied, "that a
Democratic lecture series might explain
why a lot of the inmates were in his
jails in the first place."
I think I like this fellow. But
there is more ...
With temperatures being even hotter than
normal in Phoenix, over 116 degrees, the
Associated Press reported:
About
2,000 inmates living in a
barbed-wire-surrounded tent encampment
at the Maricopa County Jail have been
given permission to strip down to their
government-issued pink boxer shorts.
On Wednesday, hundreds of men wearing
boxers were either curled up on their
bunk beds or chatted in the tents, which
reached 138 degrees inside the week
before.
Many were also swathed in wet, pink
towels as sweat collected on their
chests and dripped down to their pink
socks.
"It feels like we are in a furnace,"
said James Zanzot, an inmate who has
lived in the tents for 1 1/2 years.
"It's inhumane."
Joe Arpaio, the tough-guy sheriff who
created the tent city and long ago
started making his prisoners wear pink
and eat bologna sandwiches, is not one
bit sympathetic. He said Wednesday that
he told all of the inmates:
"It's 120 degrees in Iraq and our
soldiers are living in tents too, and
they have to wear full battle gear, but
they didn't commit any crimes. ... so
shut your damned mouths."

10/26/04 This Election is Getting Real
Ugly
Recent discussions with some friends,
which several are gun dealers, have
surprised Cathy and I about some of the
misguided views they hold on the coming
election - one of the most important in
recent history. The next President
will definitely appoint one or more
Supreme Court Justices for starters.
The War on Terror will either be won
right or not in the next few years.
Our National image and integrity will be
carved in the shifting sands of Iraq and
probably Iran. Our American ideals
will be tested. Can you voters
just do this little test that I like to
perform on my customers when they come
in to my gun store and ask, "What kind
of gun should I get for protection?"
I say, "Close your eyes and think that
you are an intruder in your darkened
house and you hear this sound ~ (The
subtle and unmistakable sound of the
sliding pump action of a shotgun
slamming home a chambered round as I
activate the mechanism.) ~ the sound
alone is enough to send the critter
scurrying with a chill in the spine."
I say now of this election, "Voters,
close your eyes and visualize a similar
scary moment and listen for these words,
'President John Kerry will now take the
oath of office'. Words like that
should send chills up and down your
spine." And, to make matters
absolutely worse! Can you even
imagine how this guy would run the
business of this country after waking up
each morning and staring first thing at
First and Foremost Woman ~ Teresa?
Oh, woe are we. Halloween is
certainly the right time for scary
thoughts as these. Make sure they
don't become a reality, vote for our
President, George W. Bush.

WHO I AM
By
Cathy Petronis
I am a Republican.
Furthermore I am a Conservative
Republican.
When Democrats and Liberals talk about
the Republicans stealing votes, keeping
people from voting and being outright
criminals, I take offense.
I am a gun owner, hunter and licensed
gun dealer.
I don’t know how many people out there
could pass the scrutiny to become a
Federal and State dealer.
I am opposed to political philosophies
that want to take away my right to
legally own guns. I am appalled by anyone who’s record is to be a gun control
advocate and uses a photo op to pretend
to be an avid hunter and protector of
gun rights.
Above all I am a woman, wife, mother and
grandmother and I am against abortion.
I don’t like people who profess to
believe in their religion but still
believe in abortion when their church
opposes it. There’s abstinence, birth control or adoption.
Just ask people who have been unable to
have children on their own.
I am a small business owner and not in
the upper 2% income bracket.
We’ve had some struggles the past 2
years but I have the depth of
intelligence to realize that 9/11 had a
terrible impact on the economy. When it comes to hospitalization, I pay almost $300 a month
but I have a choice of the type of care
I have. Ever ask the Canadians about their government health care?
It’s scary!
I’m a tax preparer and I’ve seen close
to 90% of my clients paying lower income
taxes the past three years.
The only ones paying more are those
who’ve had a major increase in income or
lower deductions.
I realize that people have different
views but I resent the fact that some
people don’t respect mine.
I will vote for George W. Bush for
President for another four years because
in my heart and my mind I know that he
is the strong leader we need in these
tough times to take care of me, my
family, my state and this wonderful
country we live in. |

See Lt. Governors' Visit to
Mechanicville |

Nov. 17 ... I can already see the
effects with our President George W.
Bush in being re-elected as the
stock market rises and people are out
again and spending money. Four more
years of stunning achievements. Now all
we have to do is kill more militant
Muslims to make the world a safer
place. Halleluiah.

Jan. 7, 2005 ... Well, it is official.
The December Stats for NEACA.com are in
and we had over ONE MILLION hits. To be
exact we garnered 1,006,223 for the
month. It is a milestone for us and it
sets the New Year off with a bang. Four
gun orders from the site this week and a
bunch of other goodies. And, my Page
Maker file has most of our next Arms
Collectors Journal, all 16 pages are
nearing completion. AND, we have most
of our Civil War biographical novel
completed and hope to have that ready by
June. Things are working all the time
and 2005 looks like a really great year
upcoming! Happy New Year to All.

March 25, 2005 ... After many months of
trials and tribulations we have finally
brought our Arms Collectors Journal back
into print and also on-line. For the
first time in the history of my meager
mind and muscle we have become world
wide publishers of a newspaper. You
know what? I am proud of Cathy and
myself for this accomplishment. Go to
ACJ on-line to see our efforts.

May 1, 2005 ... Moving right along we
have our first two issues of our
Arms Collectors Journal
published and on line for viewing. We
also have some new stats which are very
nice; April hits were 1,674,282 the
visits 62,618 and the views were
44,002. Not too bad. That is like a
million and a half customers walking
past your store last month, over 62,000
taking a peek in your window and 44,000
of them coming in for a look around.
Now, if I can only get half of them to
spend at least Five Bucks before they
leave, I'm going on a trip around the
world! Give me one quick click to my
Site Map Page and you will find an
avenue or an aisle to roam.

Here is Something of Interest you all
Should Pass On to Friends.
WHY WAIT UNTIL 2008? THERE IS AN ELECTION IN 2006.
I HEREWITH, FIRMLY STATE, THAT I WILL NOT VOTE FOR
ANY POLITICIAN, REGARDLESS OF THE OTHER ISSUES, IF HE
DOES NOT SPONSOR AND SUPPORT THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. THAT INCLUDES
EVERYONE STANDING FOR ELECTION IN 2006 AND ASKING FOR YOUR
VOTE.
LET
US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON
THAT WE HAVE
"PEOPLE POWER" AND HAVE THE POWER OF THE
INTERNET. LET ME KNOW IF YOU ARE
WITH ME ON THIS BY REPLYING AND
FORWARDING TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS
BOOK.
THE ABOVE MESSAGE WAS DATED 4/25/05 AND SENT
FROM CHATTANOOGA, TN .
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN
OR DEMOCRAT!
KEEP IT GOING!!!!
2006 Election Issue!!
GET A BILL STARTED TO
PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY
(This is worth reading.
It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking
the wrong questions during election
years.
Our Senators and
Congressmen or Women do not pay
into Social Security and, of course,
they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security
benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They
felt they should have a
special plan for themselves.
So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no
congressperson has felt the need to
change it. After
all, it is a great plan.
For all practical
purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they
continue to draw the same
pay until they die.
Except it
may increase from time to time for
cost of living adjustments….
For example, Senator Byrd
and Congressman White and their wives
may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's
Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand
Dollars), with their wives drawing
$275,000.00 during the last years of
their comfortable lives.
Tom DeLay is slated to
receive $4,795,000.00; Jon Corzine will
only receive $1,140,000.00 because of
his short tenure in the Senate.
Bob Dole is already
collecting on his dole of $6,575,000.00
since he left the Senate. His wife
is now in the Senate, working to build
up her own pile of gold from us.
These figures are in addition to the
FREE medical, dental, optical, and
hospitalization services given to these
so-called public servants. Let us
clean up their act in 2006,
use your votes!
This is calculated on
an average life span for each of those
named Dignitaries.
Younger dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more
during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this
excellent plan is
$0.00.
NADA .... ZILCH .... NOTHING!
This little perk they
voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come
directly from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!
From our own Social
Security Plan, which you and I pay (or
have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is
matched by our employer but which we as
the employed actually pay in the form of
other taxes) we
can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month
after retirement.
Cathy
and I will both accumulate about $1100.
We can hardly wait!
Or, in other words, we
would have to collect our average of
$1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and
one (1) month to equal Senator! Bob
Dole's benefits!
Social Security could be
very good if only one small change were
made.
That change would be to:
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan! ... from under the
Senators and Congressmen's asses.
Put them into the Social Security plan
with the rest of us, then sit back .....
and
see how fast they would fix it.
If enough people receive
this, maybe a seed of awareness will be
planted and maybe good changes will
evolve.
How many people CAN
YOU send this to?
Better yet....
How many people WILL YOU send this to?

"Always Find a
Silver Lining" ....or .... "If you got
to be there, Make it Worthwhile"
Jennifer's wedding day was fast
approaching. Nothing could dampen
her excitement, not even her parents
nasty divorce. Her mother even found
the PERFECT dress to wear and would be
the best dressed mother-of-the-bride
ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified
to learn that her father's new young
wife had bought the exact same dress her
mother had! Jennifer asked his new wife
to exchange it, but she refused.
"Absolutely not! I look like a million
bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing
it." She replied.
Jennifer told her mother the story
and she graciously replied, "Never mind,
sweetheart. I'll get another dress.
After all, it's your special day."
A few days later, they went shopping
together and did find another gorgeous
dress. When they stopped for lunch,
Jennifer asked her mother, "Are
you going to return the other dress?
You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it."
Jennifer's mother just smiled and
said, "Of course I do, dear. I'm
wearing it to the rehearsal dinner!"

and Remember to Always Wait for the ...
Rest of the Story.
One day Little
Johnny watched his daddy's car pass by
the school
playground and go into the woods.
Curious, he followed the car and saw
Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate
embrace. Little Johnny found this
so
exciting that he could not contain
himself as he ran home and started to
tell his mother what he saw.
"Mommy, I was
at the playground and I saw Daddy's car
go into the woods with Aunt Jane.
I went back to look and he was giving
Aunt Jane a big kiss, then he helped her
take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane
helped Daddy take his pants off, then
Aunt Jane........"
At this point Mommy
cut him off and said, "Johnny, this is
such an interesting story, suppose you
save the rest of it for supper time.
I want
to see the look on Daddy's face when you
tell it tonight"!
At the dinner table,
Mommy asked little Johnny to tell his
story.
Johnny started his story, "I was at the
playground and I saw Daddy's car go into
the woods with Aunt Jane. I went
back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane
a big kiss, then he helped her take off
her shirt. Then Aunt Jane
helped Daddy take his pants off, then
Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the
same thing that Mommy and Uncle Bill
used to do when Daddy was in the Army."
Moral: Sometimes you
need to listen to the whole story before
you
interrupt.

Martians are Coming ..... |
Our Saratoga Springs, New York Arms Fair
has become so popular that they come
from all across the nation to be here.
But recently we've found that our door
prize coupons have showed us that we
have visitors from many other nations
also coming to view the fine displays of
antique and collector and investment
firearms and vintage militaria. But
now, the vast network of Scientists who
work for us in trying to discover new
people to attract have made an
astounding discovery. It seems that the
planet Mars will be hovering at its
closest point to earth in over 60,000
years on the dates of our Show this
August 26, 27 and 28. And whatever
inhabitants of the Red Planet are there
are obviously wanting to get a better
look at our Saratoga Arms Fair and of
what all the fuss is about. We believe
that we are the first Gun Show Promoters
to be attracting such a response from
interstellar visitors. NEACA, First in
Performance ... Again! Read their
report:
The Red Planet is about to be
spectacular! This month and next,
Earth is catching up with Mars in an
encounter that will culminate in the
closest approach between the two
planets in recorded history. The
next time Mars may come this close
is in 2287. Due to the way
Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and
perturbs its orbit, astronomers can
only be certain that Mars has not
come this close to Earth in the Last
5,000 years, but it may be as long
as 60,000 years before it happens
again.
The encounter will culminate on
August 27th when Mars comes to
within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and
will be (next to the moon) the
brightest object in the night sky.
It will attain a magnitude of -2.9
and will appear 25.11 arc seconds
wide. At a modest 75-power
magnification. Obviously this will
also afford a fantastic view for any
Martians of the great amount of
activity around the Saratoga Arms
Fair at the City Center in Saratoga
Springs, New York.
Mars will look as large as the full
moon to the naked eye. Mars will be
easy to spot. At the beginning of
August it will rise in the east at
10p.m. and reach its azimuth at
about 3 a.m.
By the end of August when the two
planets are closest, Mars will rise
at nightfall and reach its highest
point in the sky at 12:30a.m.
That's pretty convenient to see
something that no human being has
seen in recorded history.. So, mark
your calendar at the beginning of
August to see Mars grow
progressively brighter and brighter
throughout the month. Finally
reaching its' intended assent over
Saratoga Springs on the 27th. Dave
Petronis, President of NEACA Show
Promotions is feverishly trying to
figure out how to create some sort
of inter planetary ticket booth to
take full advantage of this First in
History visit from Martians.
Thank You Scientists and Astronomers
Alike. We couldn't do it without
you.

7-14-2005 Life as it Was
~ Life Without Email... |
|
|
An unemployed man goes to
apply for a job with
Microsoft as a janitor. The
manager there arranges for
him to take an aptitude test
(Section: Floors, sweeping
and cleaning).
After the test, the manager
says, "You will be employed
at minimum wage, $5.15 an
hour. Let me have your
e-mail address, so that I
can send you a form to
complete and tell you where
to report for work on your
first day."
Taken aback, the man
protests that he has neither
a computer nor an e-mail
address. To this the
Microsoft manager replies,
"Well then, that means that
you virtually don't exist
and can therefore hardly
expect to be employed."
Stunned, the man leaves. Not
knowing where to turn and
having only $10 in his
wallet, he decides to buy a
25 LB flat of tomatoes at
the supermarket.
Within less than 2 hours, he
sells all the tomatoes
individually at 100% profit.
Repeating the process
several times more that day,
he ends up with almost $100
before going to sleep that
night.
And thus it dawns on him
that he could quite easily
make a living selling
tomatoes. Getting up early
every day and going to bed
late, he multiplies his
profits quickly.
After a short time he
acquires a cart to transport
several dozen boxes of
tomatoes, only to have to
trade it in again so that he
can buy a pickup truck to
support his expanding
business. By the end of the
second year, he is the owner
of a fleet of pickup trucks
and manages a staff of a
hundred former unemployed
people, all selling
tomatoes.
Planning for the future of
his wife and children, he
decides to buy some life
insurance. Consulting with
an insurance adviser, he
picks an insurance plan to
fit his new circumstances.
At the end of the telephone
conversation, the adviser
asks him for his e-mail
address in order to send the
final documents
electronically.
When the man replies that he
has no e-mail, the adviser
is stunned, "What! You don't
have e-mail? How on earth
have you managed to amass
such wealth without the
Internet, e-mail and
e-commerce? Just imagine
where you would be now, if
only you had been connected
to the Internet from the
very start!" (Hee, hee ....
He could be really cleaning
up by now, says Dave.)
After a moment of thought,
the tomato millionaire
replied, "Why, of course! I
would be a floor cleaner at
Microsoft!"
NOTE: Years ago I
didn't have e-mail and
bought my first gun to sell.
If only I knew then about
the power of tomatoes!

Now I am
going to explain about Tax Cuts in 2005
"It's
just a tax cut for the rich!", and that
statement is accepted as fact. But what
does that really mean? - The following
explanation may help.
Suppose that every night, 10 men go out
for dinner at a restaurant.
The bill for all 10 comes to $100. (I
know, it's a cheap date.) After much
discussion they decided to pay their
bill the way we pay our taxes and it
went like this:
* The first four men (the poorest of the
group) paid nothing.
* The fifth paid $1.
* The sixth $3.
* The seventh $7.
* The eighth $12.
* The ninth $18.
* The tenth man (the richest) paid $59.
All 10 were quite happy with the
arrangement, (Obviously, none of them
were Gun Dealers) until one day, the
owner said: "Since you are all such good
customers, I'm going to reduce the cost
of your daily meal by $20." (Where is
this place?)
So now dinner for the 10 only cost $80.
and the group still wanted to pay their
bill the way we pay our taxes. (Secretly
hoping that the more they came to the
trough perhaps the owner would reduce
the meal even more.)
The first four men were unaffected. They
still eat for free. But how should the
other six, the paying customers, divvy
up the $20 windfall so that everyone
would get his "fair share"? They
realized that $20 divided by six is
$3.33. But if they subtracted that from
everybody's share, then the fifth and
sixth men would each end up being paid
to eat (These guys could be closet Gun
Dealers). The restaurateur suggested
reducing each man's bill by roughly the
same percentage, thusly:
* The fifth man paid nothing (like the
first four) instead of $1 (a 100%
savings).
* The sixth paid $2 instead of $3
(saving 33%).
* The seventh paid $5 instead of $7
(saving 28%).
* The eighth paid $9 instead of $12
(saving 25%).
* The ninth paid $14 instead of $18
(saving 22%).
* The tenth paid $49 instead of $59
(saving 16%).
Each of the six was better off, and the
first four continued to eat for free, as
now did the fifth (giving free meals to
half the party) but outside the
restaurant, the men began to compare
their savings. (Now greed takes over
common sense, they are probably
teachers.)
"I only got a dollar out of the $20,"
declared the sixth man. He pointed to
the tenth man, "but he got $10!".
"That's right," exclaimed the fifth man.
"I only saved a dollar too. It's unfair
that he got ten times more than me!"
"That's true!" shouted the seventh man.
"Why should he get $10 back when I got
only $2? The wealthy get all the
breaks!"
"Wait a minute," yelled the first four
men in unison. "We didn't get anything
at all. The system exploits the poor!"
(Here you can see the diversity of the
diners.)
The nine
men surrounded the tenth and beat him
up. The next night the tenth man didn't
show up for dinner. (Proving that
severely beating the guy that pays the
bill makes him smarter.)
The nine
sat down and ate without him, (who needs
him anyway) but when they came to pay
the bill, they discovered that they
didn't have enough money between all of
them to meet even half of the bill!
(Creating dishwashers in an unforgiving
society.)
That, boys and girls, journalists and
college professors, is how our tax
system works. The people who pay the
highest taxes get the most benefit from
a tax reduction. Tax them too much,
attack them for being wealthy, and they
just may not show up at the table any
more. There are lots of good restaurants
in Monaco and the Caribbean.

Economics, University of NSW. (Another

Not to leave out the Importance of Women
... One of my Gun Dealin'
Dysfunctionals' tells me thus:
1. It's important to have a woman who
helps at home, who cooks from time to
time, cleans up and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman who
can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman who
you can trust and who doesn't lie to
you.
4. It's important to have a woman who
is good in bed and who likes to be with
you.
5. It's very, very important that these
four women don't know each other.
Should I name Names?

Stick it to the OIL Company Day ~
September 1, 2005
ATTENTION, SHEEP.
IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE
IN THE UNITED STATES DID NOT PURCHASE A
DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT
THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD
CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.
AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE
INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF OVER 4.6
BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM
LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.
THEREFORE SEPTEMBER 1ST HAS BEEN
FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR @$$
" DAY BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE OF THIS
NATION. WE SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE
DROP OF GASOLINE THAT DAY.
THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU
FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS
YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET
THE WORD OUT. WAITING ON THE
ADMINISTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL
THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NOR BE
MUCH EFFECTIVE IF IT DOES. WHAT
HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN
PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED
WEEKS AGO?
REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE
PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT THE
SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE
THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE
FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH
EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS
SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD,
CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL
SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END?
WE DO!
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T
GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL
DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO DO YOUR
PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD
THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE SEPTEMBER
1ST A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF THE
UNITED STATES SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH".
WE KNOW EVERYONE ISN'T GOING TO DO IT,
BUT I AM! HOW ABOUT YOU?
PLEASE FORWARD THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU
CAN!

On the Other Side ... How 'bout this?
Bloody shame about those high oil and
gas prices, according to this report by
Jay Hancock published by the Chicago
Tribune.
They're causing billions of dollars
to be invested in petroleum production,
which will increase supply. They're
discouraging unnecessary driving,
encouraging use of public transit and
fuel-efficient cars and cueing industry
to cut fuel costs, which will decrease
demand.
And they're triggering billions more
to be invested in new technologies such
as solar power and hybrid engines, which
will offer alternatives.
I hate to say it, but if this keeps
up we might avoid a 1970s-style energy
crisis, with its shortages, gas lines,
severe recession and petroleum prices a
third higher than they are now, adjusted
for inflation. We might even set the
stage for a new era of low oil prices,
like we had in the 1980s and 1990s, or
at least new stability.
Can't Congress do something about
$2.60-a-gallon gas?
Check out the damage caused by
exorbitant oil prices, as reported by
news outlets across the globe.
In Libya, which has some of the
biggest untapped crude reserves in the
world, lifted sanctions and the prospect
of getting $60 or more for a barrel is
helping induce Chevron, Marathon and
numerous others to open millions of
acres for drilling.
Exploration is also creating jobs and
expanding supply in Russia, Angola,
China, Algeria, Britain, India, Canada,
Azerbaijan, Nigeria, Poland, Malaysia,
New Zealand and Trinidad and Tobago,
reports Oil & Gas Investor.
The profit signal sent by $60 oil is
so strong that last month the number of
exploratory rigs around the world hit
its highest level since 1986, says Baker
Hughes, the petro services company.
Where are the energy czars and price
controls to stop all this when you need
them?
Capital projects are booming in the
equipment and "downstream" sectors, too.
Companies in South Korea, China,
Singapore and the United States are
addressing a drilling-rig shortage by
building new hardware.
Chevron is expanding its Pascagoula,
Miss., refinery by a fourth. Kinder
Morgan and Sempra want to spend $3
billion on a pipeline bringing natural
gas from the Rockies to the Midwest and
East. Texas-based Valero and Conoco
Phillips are spending billions to
improve their ability to process sour
crude, which is cheaper than sweet and
will help bring down prices.
Thai Oil is spending $1 billion on
new output capacity. Brazil just
announced plans to increase processing
capacity by 20 percent. China and India
have doubled refining capacity in recent
years.
In short, high prices have spurred
the global petroleum industry to make up
for decades of miserable investment and
operating with rickety equipment. We're
finally investing in the future and
ensuring our ability to produce energy
for our children.
Darn it. I hate it when that happens.
As rising oil prices make
alternatives look attractive, we're also
getting the strongest incentives in two
decades to reduce our petro addiction
and take the next step.
Public transit use seems to be
rising. Ridership on the MARC commuter
rail system is up 13 percent since 2003
despite ridiculous breakdowns and
delays, The Sun reported last week.
Public transit ridership also seems to
be up mildly in places from Washington
to St. Louis to Los Angeles, according
to various newspaper reports.
Sales are soaring for "hybrid"
vehicles that run on gas and
electricity. Toyota doubled production
of its Prius hybrid this year. Ford has
a hybrid SUV. GM has a hybrid truck and
says it could produce a fuel-cell car
that runs on hydrogen by 2020.
Florida-based FPL Group is building
up to 750 megawatts' worth of
wind-powered electricity generation this
year -- nearly half the capacity of
Constellation Energy's Calvert Cliffs
nuclear facility. Frederick-based BP
Solar, a division of BP PLC, is
expanding again after downsizing in
2003, the Frederick News-Post reported a
few months ago.
Weirder and wilder stuff is on the
way. Venture capitalists, the people who
brought you Silicon Valley and the
computer revolution, have gotten
interested in energy. One of the
partners at Baltimore's New Enterprise
Associates is a Nobel Prize winner
searching the globe for
alternative-energy investments.
Gee, that doesn't sound so bad,
actually. Maybe higher prices are part
of an invisible hand creating economic
order, as described by Adam Smith. Maybe
$60 oil is beaming signals across the
economy that will boost supply, cut
demand and eventually lower prices, as
described by Friedrich Hayek. Maybe we
didn't need the energy bill Congress
just passed.
Maybe, in a free market, the solution
to $60 oil is -- $60 oil.
(The preceding report by Jay Hancock
was published by the Chicago Tribune on
Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2005.)
Nah!
Don't buy oil on September First.

RACIST, MY BUTT
by
David Petronis
The aid is pouring in for Katrina relief
now.
Some good always comes from tragedy.
India and Pakistan have agreed to split
a relief campaign. Pakistan is sending more Paki’s to operate even more Seven-11
and other quick stop gas stations and
Indi’s are being sent to buy and run the
gulf coast motels.
It was heard that all they needed was
scraping out of some Mississippi mud and
they’d be just fine.
All profits to be donated to families
and relatives back home.
Japan and China are sending fishing
fleets to catch floating furniture and
will drag the delta for metals and iron
so they can reprocess the scrap to ship
back to the American people in the form
of statues of the middle finger pointing
to the heavens.
This sign of symbolism will enter thru
the newly renovated Port of New Orleans
created by the American taxpayers.
Hollywood sent Sean Penn to the rescue,
who then needed to be rescued.
They also are producing a new music tour
properly named Band Aid for Disaster
Relief, or BADR for short.
Some NRA members are sending bullets for
BAR’s to cops to quell gangs for
immediate use in the street to street
relief.
They’re the ones getting my money.
Funny we had not seen the leaders of the
dark side down in the New Orleans slums
and projects driving buses to get their
people out. I thought busing was their favorite issue.
Oh, that’s right; it was for schools not
for saving lives.
Where were Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson,
Mayor Ray Nagin and Charlie Rangel when
the tragedy was about to unfold?
Not driving buses to New Orleans, that’s
for sure.
Sharpton was busy hugging the traitorous
mother in Texas, Jackson was kissing a
communist in Venezuela, Mayor Ray Nagin
was evacuating himself to Baton Rouge
and yelling for everyone else to run to
the Superdome and Charlie Rangel wasn’t
even heard from – hard to believe –
until the complaining period.
And, as usual, all the dems and libs got
together and now want to form a
commission to complain about how bad the
Republicans are.
Many of us white folks are now looked
upon as racist evil doers because we see
things clearly.
If we are to be called racists, let me
tell you what I saw from my white
perspective.
Instead of helping poor colored folks, I
saw the more important colored folks
leaving the threatened area or not
venturing into it and evacuating the
poor and infirmed.
I saw and heard complaints from these
same blacks about how the white
“government” didn’t do anything, meaning
the Bush administration.
The black government of Louisiana was in
charge of New Orleans and still is, the
white masters in Washington can’t help
until asked.
Local relief is a local problem and
should be handled by locals with help
from Washington when requested.
You do remember that President Bush
created an Emergency Response and
Disaster Area even before the hurricane
hit.
This was so the locals could ask for
help and get it faster.
Guess who didn’t have a plan.
Guess who let their own people stay in
the path and wake of disaster.
When buses were needed guess whom had
hundreds parked in the low water line
when the levee was breached?
With the democrats telling the colored
folk that they will take care of them
for these past fifty years and with
their creation of a welfare state – both
in fact and in mind set - why would
anyone think most of these poor blacks
could think for themselves anymore?
Why try to get out of the way on their
own? “Someone will come get us!” Well folks, someone didn’t.
All the someone’s left.
I’m sorry, but if I know a category four
or five hurricane is coming and I’m
already six feet below ground level – I
ain’t staying!
Especially not in an attic without a
chain saw or crowbar.
Could it be that these people might have
been dependent on the rest of the people
just a bit too long?
The younger ones probably don’t even
know what a crowbar is but they know how
to get a gun and turn into professional
gang members and now looters.
At least they took initiative, a
wondrous thought as I see them in my
sight picture.
What a dilemma, are we actually shooting
the ones that show promise?
Finally, those stranded folks are
walking or boating out of the inner city
of New Orleans, the rest see too much of
an opportunity not to stay around.
I have at least six families of
relatives in the New Orleans area and
you know what?
They all got out before the storm hit.
They all have damaged homes.
None are blaming George Bush for a
relentless and daunting Act of God.
I personally lived thru a tornado.
My home was a disaster area and I
screamed at the press and politicians as
they all drove by gawking while the
authorities kept my family out, unable
to bring in help and equipment.
For several days and nights we lived
thru it but no Salvation Army, no Red
Cross and no electricity.
Eventually, the National Guard came and
restoration began.
I know personally of the upset lives.
But we managed.
Neighbor helped neighbor and we helped
ourselves.
Some looters tried it too but were
discouraged.
South Africa, France and even Cuba are
offering to send relief help for Katrina
victims.
Sorry, “refugees,” it sounds so much
more sinister here in the USA.
They can’t believe the white government
let all those colored people die or live
in misery in the world of the great
Satan.
I have one request for aid from these
countries.
Please ask all these poor people
if they would like to come and live with
you’all.
I think I know how many would go, zip,
nada, none.
Am I being a racist or a realist?
I think realist.
I also saw a young man – I think he was
colored but what’s the difference –
commandeered an unused, mind you, school
bus and took eighty of his stranded
Americans on an eight hour trip to
Houston.
And they all even chipped in on gas.
I saw a three star American General of
our Army get off a plane and start
kicking ass to get things moving and
done – I think he was some kind of other
color than pure white, I cheered him on.
I saw Army and National guardsmen doing
the work that needed to be done, I don’t
remember their colors – I think black,
brown and green camouflage, I cheered
them on too.
But I’m still a racist, like all us
Middle American white folks because we
see reality, we see people helping
others, we see people helping themselves
– and we see colored people helping
themselves to big screen TV’s in the
flood waters of the Mississippi delta.
Delta Dawn maybe had no shoes but she
was still proud and knew how to help
herself.
Am I a racist when I think that our
borders should be sealed to all but
legal immigrants who want to be
Americans and share in our good fortune;
the good fortune that was made with
sweat, tears and heartaches.
Welfare was neighbor helping neighbor,
not government handing out checks to the
indigent.
Families – you know, man and woman,
kids, etc. – helped out their relatives,
not wondering if the government was
going to provide for them.
That’s the way it used to be, period!
Not today, that is the way it used to
be. Is reality, racist?
Perhaps the wake up call was long
overdue and just turning over and going
back to sleep isn’t an option again.
It’s time to shake the covers off and
get the hell out of bed with the
environmentalists, liberals and
do-gooders, i.e. Kerry, Kennedy, Clinton
- and get America back to being America
again.
Get our refineries in action and new
ones built.
Oil from the Gulf and Alaska should be
pumped to refineries in the Midwest and
turned into American black gold once
more.
I can live with $1.89 a gallon for gas –
but never at over $3.00! Build back
America, buy American; Let my money
stay.
I don’t mind a nuclear plant in my back
yard if I can get real cheap electric
power.
Give and take is what we need.
Clean coal can still be used and trees
will continue to grow with conservation
and best use of resources.
And I think our money should be spent on
railroads and new bridges instead of
aids in Africa or military bases in
Germany and Korea.
Move them to where the oil is and
drop a few nukes on Fallujah and Syria
just to show the world who we are and we
still can.
Above all, let’s send these terrorist
bastards to rape their virgins with
Allah and I say, “God’s speed to all.”
Is that being racist?
You bet your ass, it is!
Proud to be an American realist,
whatever hue I am.

... September 8, 2005 ... This Just In
... It's Not Just
Us
Australia -
The Right to Leave Our Country - YOU
Have the right - the right to leave !
Because Sydney did not want to offend
other cultures by putting up Christmas
lights...
and after hearing that the State of
South Australia changed its opinion and
let a Muslim woman have her picture on
her driver's license with her face
covered...
this prompted this editorial written by
an Australian citizen and published in
an Australian newspaper.
As follows:
IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT.
Take It Or Leave It, I am tired of this
nation worrying about whether we are
offending some individual or their
culture. Since the terrorist attacks on
Bali, we have experienced a surge in
patriotism by the majority of
Australians.
However, the dust from the attacks had
barely settled when the "politically
correct" crowd began complaining about
the possibility that our patriotism was
offending others. I am not against
immigration, nor do I hold a grudge
against anyone who is seeking a better
life by coming to Australia.
However, there are a few things that
those who have recently come to our
country, and apparently some born here,
need to understand.
This idea of Australia being a
multicultural community has served only
to dilute our sovereignty and our
national identity. As Australians, we
have our own culture, our own society,
our own language and our own lifestyle.
This culture has been developed over two
centuries of struggles, trials and
victories by millions of men and women
who have sought freedom.
We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese,
Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or
any other language. Therefore, if you
wish to become part of our society,
Learn the language!
"In God We Trust" is our National Motto.
This is not some Christian, right wing,
political slogan. We adopted this motto
because Christian men and women, on
Christian principles, founded this
nation, and this is clearly documented.
It is certainly appropriate to display
it on the walls of our schools. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider
another part of the world as your new
home, Because God is part of our
culture.
If the Southern Cross offends you, or
you don't like "A Fair Go", then you
should seriously consider a move to
another part of this planet.
We are happy with our culture and have
no desire to change, And we really don't
care how you did things where you came
from.
This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR
LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every
opportunity to enjoy all this.
But once you are done complaining,
whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our
Pledge, Our National Motto, or Our Way
of Life, I highly encourage you take
advantage of one other great Australian
freedom, "THE RIGHT TO LEAVE".
If you aren't happy here then f#@* off!
We didn't force you to come here. You
asked to be here. So accept the country
YOU accepted.
Pretty easy really, when you think about
it.
(I think that about says it all from
down under.)

Gov. Kathleen Blanco's Bureaucrats
Blocked Food and Water
The
Red Cross was reportedly ready to
deliver food, water and other supplies
to flood-ravaged refugees who were
sweltering inside New Orleans' Superdome
last week - but the relief was blocked
by bureaucrats who worked for Louisiana
Gov. Kathleen Blanco.
Fox
News Channel's Major Garrett reported
Wednesday that the Red Cross had "trucks
with water, food, hygiene equipment, all
sorts of things ready to go ... to the
Superdome and Convention Center."
But
the Louisiana Department of Homeland
Security, Garrett said, "told them they
could not go."
"The
Red Cross tells me that Louisiana's
Department of Homeland Security said,
'Look, we do not want to create a magnet
for more people to come to the Superdome
or Convention Center, we want to get
them out,'" he explained.
"So at
the same time local officials were
screaming where is the food, where is
the water, the Red Cross was standing by
ready [and] the Louisiana Department of
Homeland Security said you can't go."

The
Welfare State
When
nailed by a natural disaster,
demonstrates it's obscene success in
molding "sheep" out of human beings!
by Robert Tracinski
September 2, 2005
It took
four long days for state and federal
officials to figure out how to deal with
the disaster in New Orleans. I can't
blame them, because it also took me four
long days to figure out what was going
on there. The reason is that the events
there make no sense if you think that we
are confronting a natural disaster.
If this is just a natural disaster, the
response for public officials is
obvious: you bring in food, water, and
doctors; you send transportation to
evacuate refugees to temporary shelters;
you send engineers to stop the flooding
and rebuild the city's infrastructure.
For journalists, natural disasters also
have a familiar pattern: the heroism of
ordinary people pulling together to
survive; the hard work and dedication of
doctors, nurses, and rescue workers; the
steps being taken to clean up and
rebuild.
Public officials did not expect that the
first thing they would have to do is to
send thousands of armed troops in
armored vehicle, as if they are
suppressing an enemy insurgency. And
journalists-myself included-did not
expect that the story would not be about
rain, wind, and flooding, but about
rape, murder, and looting.
But this is not a natural disaster. It
is a man-made disaster.
The man-made disaster is not an
inadequate or incompetent response by
federal relief agencies, and it was not
directly caused by Hurricane Katrina.
This is where just about every newspaper
and television channel has gotten the
story wrong.
The man-made disaster we are now
witnessing in New Orleans did not happen
over four days last week. It happened
over the past four decades. Hurricane
Katrina merely exposed it to public
view.
The man-made disaster is the welfare
state.
For the past few days, I have found the
news from New Orleans to be confusing.
People were not behaving as you would
expect them to behave in an
emergency-indeed, they were not behaving
as they have behaved in other
emergencies. That is what has shocked
so many people: they have been saying
that this is not what we expect from
America. In fact, it is not even what
we expect from a Third World country.
When confronted with a disaster, people
usually rise to the occasion. They work
together to rescue people in danger, and
they spontaneously organize to keep
order and solve problems. This is
especially true in America. We are an
enterprising people, used to relying on
our own initiative rather than waiting
around for the government to take care
of us. I have seen this a hundred
times, in small examples (a small town
whose main traffic light had gone out,
causing ordinary citizens to get out of
their cars and serve as impromptu
traffic cops, directing cars through the
intersection) and large ones
(the spontaneous response of New Yorkers
to September 11).
So what explains the chaos in New
Orleans? To give you an idea of the
magnitude of what is going on, here is
a description from a Washington Times
story :
"Storm victims are raped and beaten;
fights erupt with flying fists, knives
and guns; fires are breaking out;
corpses litter the streets; and police
and rescue helicopters are repeatedly
fired on.
"The plea from Mayor C. Ray Nagin came
even as National Guardsmen poured in to
restore order and stop the looting, car
jackings and gunfire....
"Last night, Gov. Kathleen Babineaux
Blanco said 300 Iraq- hardened Arkansas
National Guard members were inside New
Orleans with shoot to kill orders.
" 'These troops are...under my orders to
restore order in the streets,' she said.
'They have M-16s, and they are locked
and loaded. These troops know how to
shoot and kill and they are more than
willing to do so if necessary and I
expect they will.' "
The reference to Iraq is eerie. The
photo that accompanies this article
shows a SWAT team with rifles and
armored vests riding on an armored
vehicle through trash-strewn streets
lined by a rabble of squalid, listless
people, one of whom appears to be
yelling at them. It looks exactly like
a scene from Sadr City in Baghdad.
What explains bands of thugs using a
natural disaster as an excuse for an
orgy of looting, armed robbery, and
rape? What causes unruly mobs to storm
the very buses that have arrived to
evacuate them, causing the drivers to
speed away, frightened for their lives?
What causes people to attack the doctors
trying to treat patients at
the Superdome?
Why are people responding to natural
destruction by causing further
destruction? Why are they attacking the
people who are trying to help them?
My wife, Sherri, figured it out first,
and she figured it out on a
sense-of-life level. While watching the
coverage one night on Fox News Channel,
she told me that she was getting a
familiar feeling. She studied
architecture at the Illinois Institute
of Chicago, which is located in the
South Side of Chicago just blocks away
from the Robert Taylor Homes, one of the
largest high-rise public housing
projects in America. "The projects," as
they were known, were infamous
for uncontrollable crime and
irremediable squalor. (They have since,
mercifully, been demolished .)
What Sherri was getting from last
night's television coverage was a whiff
of the sense of life of "the projects."
Then the "crawl"-the informational
phrases flashed at the bottom of the
screen on most news channels- gave some
vital statistics to confirm this sense:
75% of the residents of New Orleans had
already evacuated before the
hurricane, and of those who remained, a
large number were from the city's public
housing projects. Jack Wakeland then
told me that early reports from CNN and
Fox indicated that the city had no plan
for evacuating all of the prisoners in
the city's jails-so they just let many
of them loose. [Update: I have been
searching for news reports on this last
story, but I have not been able to
confirm it. Instead, I have found
numerous reports about the collapse of
the corrupt and incompetent New
Orleans Police Department; see here and
here.]
There is no doubt a significant overlap
between these two populations-- that is,
a large number of people in the jails
used to live in the housing projects,
and vice versa.
There were many decent, innocent people
trapped in New Orleans when the deluge
hit-but they were trapped alongside
large numbers of people from two groups:
criminals-and wards of the welfare
state, people selected, over decades,
for their lack of initiative and
self-induced helplessness. The welfare
wards were a mass of sheep-on whom the
incompetent administration of New
Orleans unleashed a pack of wolves.
All of this is related, incidentally, to
the incompetence of the city government,
which failed to plan for a total
evacuation of the city, despite the
knowledge that this might be
necessary. In a city corrupted by the
welfare state, the job of city officials
is to ensure the flow of handouts to
welfare recipients and patronage to
political supporters-not to ensure a
lawful, orderly evacuation in case
of emergency.
No one has really reported this story,
as far as I can tell. In fact, some are
already actively distorting it, blaming
President Bush, for example, for failing
to personally ensure that the Mayor of
New Orleans had drafted an adequate
evacuation plan. The worst example is
an execrable piece from the Toronto
Globe and Mail , by a supercilious
Canadian who blames the chaos on
American "individualism." But the truth
is precisely the opposite: the chaos was
caused by a system that was the exact
opposite of individualism.
What Hurricane Katrina exposed was the
psychological consequences of the
welfare state. What we consider
"normal" behavior in an emergency is
behavior that is normal for people who
have values and take the responsibility
to pursue and protect them. People with
values respond to a disaster by fighting
against it and doing whatever it takes
to overcome the difficulties they face.
They don't sit around and complain that
the government hasn't taken care of
them. And they don't use the chaos of a
disaster as an opportunity to prey on
their fellow men.
But what about criminals and welfare
parasites? Do they worry about saving
their houses and property? They don't,
because they don't own anything. Do
they worry about what is going to happen
to their businesses or how they are
going to make a living? They never
worried about those things before. Do
they worry about crime and looting? But
living off of stolen wealth is a way of
life for them.
People living in piles of their own
trash, while petulantly complaining that
other people aren't doing enough to take
care of them and then shooting at those
who come to rescue them-this is not just
a description of the chaos at the
Superdome. It is a perfect summary
of the 40-year history of the welfare
state and its public housing projects.
The welfare state-and the brutish,
uncivilized mentality it sustains and
encourages-is the man-made disaster that
explains the moral ugliness that has
swamped New Orleans. And that is the
story that no one is reporting.

September 20, 2005
Report ... I received this in
e-mail:
I thought I might inform the few
friends I have on my recent traumatic
experience. I am going to tell it
straight, blunt, raw, and I don't give a
damn. Long read, I know but please do
read!
I went to volunteer on Saturday at the
George R. Brown convention for two
reasons.
A: I wanted to help people to get a warm
fuzzy. B: Curiosity.
I've been watching the news lately and
have seen scenes that have made me want
to vomit. And no it wasn't dead bodies,
the city under water, or the sludge
everywhere. It was PEOPLE'S BEHAVIOR.
The people on T.V. (99% being Black)
were DEMANDING help. They were not
asking nicely but demanding as if
society owed these people something.
Well the honest truth is WE DON'T.
Help should be asked for in a kind
manner and then appreciated. This is not
what the press (FOX in particular) was
showing, what I was seeing was a group
of people who are yelling, demanding,
looting, killing, raping, and SHOOTING
back at the demanded help! So I'm
thinking this can't possibly be true can
it? So I decide to submit to the DEMAND
for help out of SHOCK. I couldn't
believe this to be true of the majority
of the people who are the weakest of
society. So I went to volunteer and help
folks out and see the truth. So I will
tell the following story and you decide:
I arrived at the astrodome only to find
out that there are too many volunteers
and that volunteers were needed at the
George R. Brown Convention Center. As I
was walking up to the Convention Center
I noticed a line of cars that wrapped
around blocks filled with donations.
These were ordinary Houstonians coming
with truckloads and trunks full of
water, diapers, clothes, blankets, food,
all types of good stuff. And lots of it
was NEW. I felt that warm fuzzy while
helping unload these vehicles of these
wonderful human beings. I then went
inside the building and noticed
approximately 100,000 sq. ft.
of clothes, shoes, jackets, toys and all
types of goodies all organized and ready
for the people in need. I signed up,
received a name badge and was on my
merry way excited to be useful.
I toured the place to get familiar with
my surrounding; the entire place is
probably around 2 million sq. ft.
I noticed rows as far as the eye can see
of mattresses, not cots, BLOW UP
MATTRESSES! All of which had nice
pillows and plenty of blankets. 2
to 3 bottles of
water lay on every bed. These full size
to queen size beds by the way were
comfortable, I laid on one to see for
myself. I went to look at the medical
area. I couldn't believe what my eyes
were seeing! A makeshift hospital
created in 24 hours! It was
unbelievable, they even had a pharmacy.
I also noticed that they created
showers, which would also have hot
water. I went upstairs to the third
floor to find a HUGE cafeteria created
in under 24 hours! Rows of
tables, chairs and food everywhere -
enough to feed an army! I'm not talking
about crap food either. They had Jason's
Deli food, apples, oranges, coke, diet
coke, lemonade, orange juice, cookies,
all types of chips and sandwiches. All
the beverages by the way was put on ice
and chilled! In a matter of about
24 hours or less an entire
mini-city was erected by volunteers for
the poor evacuees. This was not your
rundown crap shelter, it was BUM HEAVEN.
So that was the layout: great food,
comfy beds, clean showers, free medical
help, by the way there was a library,
and a theatre room I forgot to mention.
Great stuff right? Well here is
what happened on my journey -
I started by handing out COLD water
bottles to evacuees as they got off the
bus. Many would take them and only 20%
or less said thank you. Lots of them
would shake their heads and ask for
sodas! So this went on for about
20-30 minutes until I was sick of
being an unappreciated servant. I
figured certainly these folks would
appreciate some food! So I went upstairs
to serve these beloved evacuees some
GOOD food that I wish I could have at
the moment!
The following statements are graphic,
truthful, and discuss UNRATIONAL
behavior. Evacuees come slowly to
receive this mountain of food that is
worth serving to a king! I tell them
that we have 2 types of
great deli sandwiches to choose from -
ham and turkey. Many look at the food in
disgust and DEMAND burgers, pizza, and
even McDonalds! Jason's deli is better
than McDonalds! Only 1 out
of ten people who took something would
say "thank you" the rest took items as
if it was their God give right to be
served without a shred of appreciation!
They would ask for beer and liquor.
They complained that we didn't have good
enough food. They refused food and
laughed at us. They treated us
volunteers as if we where SLAVES. No not
all of them of course... but 70% did!
20% where appreciative, 10% took the
food without any comment and the other
70% had some disgusting comment to say.
Some had the nerve to laugh at us. And
when I snapped back at them for being
mean, they would curse at me! Needless
to say I was in utter shock.
They would eat their food and leave
their mess on the table... some would
pick up their stuff, many would leave it
for the volunteers to pick up. I left
that real quick to go down and help set
up some more beds. I saw many young
ladies carrying mattresses and I helped
for a while. Then I realized
something... there were hundreds of able
bodied young men who could help! I asked
a group of young evacuees in their teens
and early twenties to help.
I got cursed at for asking them to help!
One said "We just lost our ****ing homes
and you want us to work!" The next said
"Ya Cracker, you got a home we don't" I
looked at them in disbelief. Here are
women walking by carrying THEIR ****ING
BEDS and they can't lift a finger and
help themselves!
WHY THE **** SHOULD I HELP PEOPLE WHO
DON'T WANT TO HELP THEMSELVES!
I waved them off and turned away and was
laughed at and more "white boy jokes"
where made at me. I felt no need to
waste my breath on a bunch of pitiful
losers. I went to a nearby restroom
where I noticed a man shaving.
I used the restroom, washed my hands and
saw this man throw his razor towards the
trash can... he missed... he walked out
leaving his disgusting razor on the
floor for some other "cracker" to pick
up. Even the little kids were demanding.
I saw only ONE white family and only TWO
Hispanic families.
The rest where blacks...sorry 20% to 30%
decent blacks... and 70% LOSERS! I would
call them ******S, but the actual
definition of a ****** is one who is
ignorant, these people were not
ignorant......they were ARROGANT S. The
majority of which are thugs and lifetime
lazy ass welfare recipients. We are
inviting the lowest of the low to
Houston. And like idiots we are serving
the people who will soon steal our cars,
rape, murder, and destroy our city while
stealing from our pockets on a daily
basis through the welfare checks they
take. We will fund our own destruction.
By "US" I don't mean a specific race, I
mean the people who work hard, work
smart, have values and morals. Only
people who want to help themselves
should be helped, the others should be
allowed to destroy themselves. I do not
want to work hard, give the government
close to half the money I earn so they
can in turn give it to a bunch of
losers.
I don't believe in being poor for life.
My family immigrated here, we came here
poor, and now thank God, and due to HARD
WORK we are doing fine. If immigrants,
who come here, don't know the language
can work and become successful... WHY
THE **** CAN'T THE MAJORITY OF THE
HOMEGROWN DO IT!
If we continue to reward these losers
then we will soon destroy our great
country. I just witnessed selfish,
arrogant, unappreciative behavior by the
very people who need help the most. Now
these same people who cursed me, refused
my cities generosity, who refuse to help
themselves are DEMANDING handouts on
their own terms! They prance around as
if they are owed something, and when
they do receive a handout, they say it's
not good enough! Well you know
what......these types of people can go
to hell for all I care!
Was
This All True? I replied to the
sender with this answer, you decide.
Hi
Sender, In this world of fast paced
connections sometimes we have to
hesitate in the knee jerk reactions to
forward everything we receive. All is
not truthful out there in cyber land. I
would be among the first to agree that
the story and experience of this
volunteer is true because I don't
particularly give colored people an "A"
in societal gatherings or even an "E"
for the effort of getting on in life
with hard work and responsible
practices. But, I have learned to be a
cynic and not believe half of what I
hear and less of what I read so I have
found ways to verify things. One is by
going to this site where Urban Legends
are discussed in detail
http://www.snopes.com/katrina/personal/volunteer.asp and
see what these folks have learned about
a particular subject, usually "web
letters." It takes time, but I'd
rather be right than wrong. In this
case the jury is still out. Thanks for
the mail.

9-26-05 ... What One Man Learned About
Hurricanes
Things I have learned from watching the
news on TV during the last 8 days and
how it adds sarcasm to tragedy.
No
Negro needing rescuing weighs less than
300 pounds. Most people will drop
a stolen item when someone points a gun
at them. The only difference
between Oil Company CEO's and looters,
is that looters can be identified from
TV film footage. No legal action
will ever be taken against either.
Martial law is only declared in white
communities. The hurricane only
hit colored family's property. New
Orleans was devastated and no other city
was affected by the hurricane. New
Orleans has no white people. White
folks don't make good news stories.
Mississippi is reported to have blown
down trees. The hurricane blew a
limb off a tree in the yard of an
Alabama resident. Only black
family members from New Orleans got
separated in the hurricane rescue
efforts.
When you are hungry after a hurricane,
steal a big screen TV for barter.
The hurricane did 23 billion dollars in
improvements to New Orleans: now the
city is on welfare, looters and gangs
roam freely and they are in your city.
Don't give thanks to the thousands that
came to help rescue you, instead, bitch
because the government hasn't given you
a debit card yet.
Ignore
warnings to evacuate and the white folks
will come get you and give you money for
being stupid. Oh yeah, it was all
Bush's fault because he didn't sign the
Kyoto Treaty.

This Just in From Paris ...
Associated Press: Friday, Sept. 26,
2005; 11:00 PM Paris, France --
Lance
Armstrong's record setting seventh Tour
de France victory, along with his entire
Tour de France legacy, may be tarnished
by what could turn out to be one of the
greatest sports scandals of all time.
Armstrong is being quizzed by French
police after three banned substances
were found in his South of France hotel
room while on vacation after winning the
2005 Tour de France.
The
three substances found were toothpaste,
deodorant, and soap, which have been
banned by French authorities for over 75
years. Armstrong's girlfriend and
American rocker Sheryl Crowe is quoted
as saying, "We use them every day in
America, so we naturally thought they'd
be okay throughout Europe."
Along
with these three banned substances,
French authorities also physically
searched Armstrong himself and found
several other interesting items that
they have never seen before, including a
backbone and large testicles.
