Only 38 shootings shows progress...in Chicago

After 38 shootings over the long July 4^th weekend in Chicago, Police Supt. Garry McCarthy says that the city’s crime-fighting is “clearly working.”   YGBSM.  I suppose when they hit 100 they will declare victory and go home.  The crime-fighting is going so well StateRep. Monique Davis has asked that the National Guard be brought in to stop theviolence – and she’s a Demo-Dope.  Hmm, if a Dope wants the National Guard, what are Republicans asking for – the city to be plowed into Lake Michigan?

McCarthy also blamed the summer weather for the number of shootings. Ah Ha!  So, guns don’t kill people hot weather does.  Instead of banning assault weapons, maybe we should be issuing air conditioning units.  No wait, the global warm-mongers will be all in a tizzy with that move.  Better to let the people be murdered in the heat of the night than try to cool them off.

Of the shooting, 11 were fatal.  Let that sink in.  It would be safer to be a passenger on a S. Korean airliner during a crash landing in San Francisco, where only two people died, than hang in Chicago on the weekend.  It would be safer to be standing in close proximity to the Tsarnaev brothers during the Boston Marathon, where only three people died, than to hang out in Chicago on the week end.  It would be safer to volunteer for a night patrol in Afghanistan, than hang out in Chicago on the weekend.  It would be safer to cut through George Zimmerman’s neighborhood wearing a hoodie and carrying a bag of Skittles on a dark and rainy night than hang out in Chicago on the weekend.

The shootings sadly and not surprisingly are nearly all mino on mino.  There is no outrage because race hustling Revs? Al, Jess and Jerry cannot shake the branches of the racial money making tree when minos are gunning down minos.  The money that falls always ends up exclusively in the Revs? pockets.  The kids in Chicago are every bit as dead and gone as Trayvon Martin, but there’s no money in it for the Revs? when minos are gunning down each other, so why go and call for order?

Better to stay near Sanford, FL to mug for the cameras with Martin’s family, feigning outrage and leading the “no justice, no peace” chant, in the event of a Zimmerman acquittal.  Stirring up racial strife in Sanford over one dead body is a heck of a lot easier than trying to get minos to stop shooting each other in Chicago where the weekend body count is closer to an hour of playing the extra bloody video game, Call to Duty.

Whatever the verdict, George Zimmerman’s life is pretty much over.  Not as over as Trayvon Martin’s for sure, but Zimmerman has no hope of ever living a normal life.  His and his family’s lives will be in constant danger.  The feds under the lack of leadership of the vindictive and clueless Eric the wad Holder is likely as not to file “civil rights” charges against Zimmerman if acquitted, after all it was one of the wad’s “people” who was shot by Zimmerman.

Oh and to the rest of us, an armed society is a polite society.  Concealed carry is now the law of the land in all 50 states.  It is probably best not to punch anyone in the face these days.

House complicit in Executive lawlessness

LB considers himself some kind of constitutional scholar.   Apparently, LB was out of constitutional scholar school doing blow or hitting the links the day they covered Article II section 3.  That pesky section plainly states that the executive “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”  That or he is a scholar from the Bill Ayres school of constitutional law that focuses on how best to subvert the constitution.

So when the will of the people was ignored and Robertscare was passed, LB got what he wanted, right?  Wrong?  Now it is time to implement the disaster.  It is proving impossible to do so.

So what to do?  Well in LB's world when there’s a problematic law, you ignore it like they did with DOMA or take a page from the Chief Justice and re-write it.  That is what LB has done with Robertscare.

He just rewrote the section requiring employers to insure employees under Robertscare.  He magically extended the period for employers to screw their employees with Robertscare past the mid-term election.

Republi-Rats led by a feeble, chain smoking, cowardly, wimp - John Boehner – raise not word of constitutional concern.  You’d expect someone to say, “Hold on there sparky.  We write the laws.  Your job is to enforce the laws of the land.  You have no authority to rewrite them to fit your political agenda.”

But that’s what happens when you set precedence.  Congress bent over and let John Roberts rewrite LBcare into Robertscare.  Now LB is taking a shot at it.

So what can a spineless dope like Boehner do?  Well truly, a spineless eunuch like Boehner can’t and won’t do anything except, step out for a smoke and while weeping that LB won’t give him his balls back, arrange his next golf outing with Slow Joe two blasts and a garden variety slap Biden.

Well what could be done if there was a real leader in the house?  Well, the house holds the power of the purse.  A real leader might just tell LB, “Look, we have this quaint idea of separation of powers among Separate but EQUAL branches of government.  Either you implement the entire law or suspend the entire law or we will de-fund it.”

Holy cow, that will create a constitutional crisis.  OK fine.  We’ve been in a constitutional crisis since Inauguration Day 2009.  Put the ball back in Johnny Robert’s court and see if he’s sobered up from the 10 quarts of whiskey he no doubt had to down to come up with his asinine decision on LBcare.

John!  Don’t just stand there chain smoking cigarettes, wishing you could grow another set of manly orbs. Do something!

Leftist control the language

Yesterday, a comment in the comments’ section of the post under by Infidel made me drop my shovel and think.  OK it was the summer heat and humidity and the backbreaking nature of stump removal that really made me drop my shovel, but once dropped, my thoughts turned to the Infidel’s comment.

Several years ago, I ran into an old high school acquaintance. Turns out, he’s pastor of a church here in Ft. Wayne.  I told him I’d stop in sometime and listen to him preach.  He warned me that the church was a very “liberal” church.  I recall as if it were 10 minutes ago replying, “I’m a liberal.  I’m an old fashion liberal.” By that I meant that I believe in individual freedoms unfettered by an overreaching and onerous government.

I don’t know when that noble definition of “liberal” was high-jacked by leftist loons who turned it on its ear.  I recall in back in the 60’s “liberal” stood for revolving door justice, expanding welfare, losing wars, free love, drugs and the demand for government intervention into every aspect of our lives.  Soon the word “liberal” was another way of describing someone as a kook.

It’s a shame.  Liberal started out to mean an ascent to liberty for man.  It then devolved into advocating for government control of man through endless government programs and regulation.  “Liberal” became a toxic term.  So much so the left abandon it.

The Infidel is correct.  The term of art these days to describe leftist, and sadly McCain Republicans is “progressive.”  Who doesn’t want to be known as progressive?  What’s the opposite of progressive - stationary, staid, or regressive?  In politics it is better to be thought of as moving forward than back, don’t you think?  After all the root of the word progressive is progress.  Who can reasonably be against progress?

But the end game always seems to be the same as the modern liberals, more government control.  2,700 pages of Robertscare followed by 20,000 pages of regulation is progress?  No one in their right mind could make that case.  But it is more government control of the masses.  The NSA spygate scandal is progress?  No. It’s a giant step backward for the liberty of Americans.  Yet pols on both sides are defending it with vigor.

Blanket legalization of 11 million criminals inside the country is progress?  No. But we’re being told by both sides that it is step we must take.  It is not.  Secure the border and verify employment.  Those two steps would reduce the number of illegals by ¾.

Changing the terms of the debate is a leftist trick.  Homosexuals aren’t homosexuals.  They are “gay.”  Who can be against gay?  Killing a baby isn’t murder.  It’s “choice.”  Who doesn’t want choice?  Ignoring the 2^nd Amendment isn’t unconstitutional.  It’s “common sense.”  Who can be against common sense?  Global warming isn’t unsettled science at best or a leftist hoax at worst.  It settled science and the debate is over.  Well if it’s settled science, what’s to debate?  For 5,000 years Marriage had a clear definition.  Today, no one can define the term.  That’s progress?

The left high-jacked the noble idea of liberal government, bastardized and destroyed it in the same way no one ever wants to have a “gay old time” any more.

Liberalism only exists because it is easy

Everything the liberals touch turns to crap.  So, why do we have liberals?  Same reason people would rather become rich by buying a lottery ticket rather than engage in serious thought or labor to gain the same end – it’s easier.  We have liberals because being liberal requires no effort.

It requires no more effort to support liberal lame-brained programs than it does to reap the benefits from those programs.  And when those programs prove harmful to society, liberals claim the program simply lacks sufficient funding.

Take welfare.  Which is easier, a program whereby the government is responsible to set conditions for a level playing field for people to succeed based on their own talents and ambitions or a bloated government program that simply issues government checks using money confiscated from the successful to issue to people who refuse to engage in any reasonable degree of the thought or labor required for success?

Then when sloth, ignorance and cultural rot is traced back to a welfare system that robs people of the dignity of making it on their own, liberals take the gutless path that it is NOT the welfare per se causing those problems but rather the under funding of the welfare system.  Here is the perfect metaphor for the liberal welfare vote buying machine.

Now what’s easier, setting conditions for people like that “lady” to get employment to buy their own damn phone or continue funding the program that gives her a phone?  Now in and of itself, giving everyone a cell phone is not a bad thing.  In fact the NSA is encouraging that program for some reason.  And we can all use more cell phone video of cops run amuck, and cell phone pics of politicians’ privates.

But it has gotten to the point that government is subsidizing every aspect of life.  It has gotten to the point that 50% of Americans are getting some kind of government assistance.  It has gotten to the point that savvy Americans can draw 40K in government “benefits” making it unlikely that they will engage in serious thought and labor for less than 50K.

Liberals are like water.  They always take the path of least resistance – always running downhill and taking the country with them.  It’s easier to take the down hill path ever descending until it becomes nearly impossible to start back up the slippery path.

Now if you think it’s difficult for an adult to trudge uphill against the torrent of bad but easy ideas being foisted on us daily, try it as a teenager.  EVERYTHING is stacked against them.  Schools and colleges are dominated by lame-brained Godless communist teachers and professors.  The culture has so rotted that there are very few musicians, actors or athletes who affirm a traditional view of America.  Why?  Well that would take courage and it may cost a roll or two.  It's just easier to along with the flow.

So now we are to the point that we let ourselves be intimidated by the lame-brained among us.  Better to just shut up and go with the flow than to be heard saying WTF when a teenager who dares wear a NRA T-shirt or cross to school being ridiculed and in the first case suspended.   Better to go along than to risk little Johnny’s grade by telling a school “teacher” that they are supposed to be teaching NOT indoctrinating.  Better to go with the downhill flow than stand up for the black and white letter law contained in the 2^nd Amendment that is so plainly written only lawyers are capable of misinterpreting it.

Better to watch the country be destroyed by a voluminous, unread, unreadable, unenforceable POS comprehensive immigration reform bill than risk being called a racist for opposing the crap heap.

Yeah, for sure, liberalism requires no brains, no guts, no spine and no soul.  It is above all else – easy.

Do we still "hold these truths to be self-evident?"

Ignore this RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST dead white guy at your own peril.

Independence Day?
47 million on food stamps
10 million on disability
7.5% of the work force drawing endless unemployment
Sound more like Dependence Day.

On a day like this there's only one thing to do, check the fence around the compound, OK two things clean the guns, OK three things count the ammo, OK four things order more ammo, OK five things check the oil in the backup generator, OK six things order another 50 gal tank of propane for the generator, OK there's a lot that needs to be done on days like today, but the one thing I like to do on days like today is go here and listen to Madison Rising rock the Star Spangled Banner a couple of times. Self-evident

Here's what tomorrow is all about.

There is no loyal opposition

Sarah Palin made news by saying if the Republican controlled house passed immigration reform it may be time to leave the Republican Party.  Sarah, there is no Republican Party.  It left us a long time ago.  We are as close to one party rule as the old Soviet Union.

Don’t believe me?  Try this exercise.

Suppose there was a tit-for-tat egging of party leaders.  Chuckles Schumer gets hit in the face with an egg.  The conservatives cheer.  In retaliation, some Lib hits John McCain in the face with an egg.  The conservatives cheer.  So, Harry the roach Reid gets hit in the face with an egg.  The conservatives cheer.  The Libs retaliate by hitting Rubio in the face with an egg.  The conservatives cheer.  So Gran Nan from San Fran Pelooser gets egged and conservatives cheer.  Libs respond by egging John cry baby Boehner and conservatives cheer.   So, Soto Mayor gets egged and conservatives cheer.  In retaliation, John Roberts gets egged and conservatives cheer.  The tit-for-tat ends when Slow Joe two blasts and a garden variety slap Biden is egged and everyone cheers.

Now tell me we do not have Libs and Lib-lites running or ruining as it may be the country.

OK now ask yourself, “Why are both Demo-Dopes and Republi-Rats upset with Ed Snowden for outting the NSA’s vacuuming up every imaginable bit of information about me?  Hmm, shouldn’t someone be upset about that?”  No.  Both think that they will control those levers of power at some point.

In the post under, among other things, Lex gave incredible insight into the 5 Dopes in Robes ruling on DOMA.  After that ruling LB came out and said not to worry.  He wouldn’t force churches to perform homosexual marriages.  That’s not the headline.  The headline is that the little numb nuts, a supposed constitutional scholar, thinks he has that authority and the only thing saving our churches today is LB’s benevolence.  But where was the outrage by the loyal opposition?  There was none.

OK, let’s say during his fourth term LB “evolves” like his evolution on homosexual marriage and decides it’s time for churches to start marrying homosexuals.  What party is going to stand in his way?  Republi-Rats?  Ha!  5 dopes in robes?  Good luck with that crap shoot.

So what can all of this mean?  It means, Mr. & Mrs. America or I guess Mr. & Mr. America or Mrs. & Mrs. America or Mr. & Mrs. & Mrs. America, that we are screwed.

Don’t believe it?  Consider this:

A large majority still oppose Robertscare.  Yet it remains the law of the land.

A large majority of Americans are more interested in securing the border than securing a path to citizenship for illegal aliens.  Yet the senate insisted upon legalizing every illegal alien in the country before one thing is done to secure the border.

An overwhelming majority oppose homosexual marriage.  Yet the 5 dopes in robes ignore the vote of the people of CA to more or less legalize homosexual marriage in CA and signal that it will do so in every state that resists the borg.  In doing so the court accused anyone who might disagree with the five for any reason, religion, culture, 5,000 years of history – no matter what, if you resist you’re a reprehensible bigot.

Today our government is actively violating the 1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, 9^th and 10^th Amendments of the constitution with impunity.  Which party is standing their ground to protect the constitution?  There is not one.

The only hope is a Cruz/Paul ticket Republican or otherwise.

Monday morning alibis

As the popcorn roiled into full popping mode last week Lex missed a couple of critical stories.  So that you’ll know what to think about these topics, I’ll give you a quick blast on each below.

DOMA:  As the 3 readers of Lex know, I don’t care if homosexuals get married.  I do believe it’s a violation of natural law and bastardizes 5,000 years of history, but if Bruce and Harlan want to live happily ever after and “say” they are married and say they have a pig as a pet when it is clearly a cat , have at it.

What does pee me off is the double d-bag at the Supreme Court telling me I’m motivated by an “improper animus” against a “politically unpopular group” I wish to “disparage,” “demean,” and “humiliate” as “unworthy” simply because I believe the best way for society to organize itself is with families headed up by one man and one woman.  Justice Kennedy, the double d-bag who wrote that mess, is precisely the one disparaging, demeaning and humiliating people with his opinion that never argues fact or law but just says anyone who might disagree with him is loathsome cretin, therefore the law is struck down. 

It might even work if I cared one wit about what some pampered dope in a black robe thought about me.

Bottom line is it shouldn’t matter one bit if Kennedy is right and everyone who disagrees with him is all the things he says they are.  What should matter in this case is the Constitution and the law.

LB’s look-a-like son’s murder trial:  So if LB had a third daughter or a sister, would she look like Rachel Genteal? 

I watched the coverage on this poor woman and was amazed that it had to do with everything EXCEPT what she was brought to the table to shed light on: what happened when as white as LB white Hispanic George Zimmerman shot twice as black as LB Trayvon Martin. 

What did she bring?  NOTHING.  Not one thing.  If anything, she muddied the prosecutions case. 

If she could have had a written a deposition and had it read in court - by someone who could read cursive, the best the prosecution could hope for was to show twice as black as LB Trayvon was alive before his encounter with the creepy ass cracker - who happens to be as white as LB. 

The rest is all theatrics.   Who cares if she is a somewhat ignorant dope who’s education and demeanor are the products of public schools and a Demo-Dope controlled inner city?  Who cares if she’s a racist, dope smoking, under aged drinking product of the modern welfare system?  She brought absolutely no clearer understanding of what happened on the night the creepy ass cracker ran into twice as black as LB Trayvon and shot him to death.  She couldn’t do that if she were a self made millionaire MENSA member, because she did not see anything.  So her testimony was a bust.

But just as in the Kennedy case above, the facts of the case, the law and the evidence are less interesting and therefore less relevant than Genteal’s Sci-Fi hair-do, lazy way of speaking, writing a letter she can’t read, calling the defense lawyer an “as ho” and “retarded” or any matter of fact pertaining to the case.  And if you point any of this out, you are, of course, a RAAAAAAACIST!!!!!!!!!! 

And that’s the nub.  If Zimmerman was as black as LB instead of as white as LB there wouldn’t even be a trial.  If Zimmerman was some gang guy nobody would even give a hoot about the shooting.  How many trials of gang murders in Chicago are on the national news?  NBC doctored the 9-11 call and dubbed Zimmerman a “white” Hispanic and the race baiters are on the case.  It doesn’t matter how much a punk Trayvon had morphed into since the darling 6-8 year old pictures of him used by media BS artists.

Immigration:  Here’s all you really need to know.  Section 5(b)(1) of the immigration bill  reads:
Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall establish a strategy, to be known as the ‘Southern Border Fencing Strategy’ . . .

On the other hand, Section 5(b)(5) reads:
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this subsection shall require the Secretary to install fencing . . .

The fence will not be built.

Wind Turbines:  Ugly, an eyesore, loud, expensive, inefficient, waste of good farm land, other than making green weenies feel good, serve no useful purpose – except, as it turns out to kill rare birds.

Parks lose 1,000s of weapons:  Yeah, why do park rangers need 1,000s of weapons?  Why aren’t they keeping track of them?  Have they checked with Eric the wad Holder?  Maybe he sold them to narco-terrorists in Mexico.  Seems to me the only ones who can’t be trusted with guns in America work for the government.

Aaron Hernandez gets cut from Patriots:  Turns out, now that Ray Lewis has retired, the Baltimore Ravens have a slot open for a player involved in a couple of murders.

Cool kid gets de-pantsed by geek

While 8,000 Marine weapon systems are being cut due to sequestration, King Dumb@$$, Queen Fat@$$ and their lovely daughters are spending 100 million tax dollars to tour Africa.

But it is not all fun and games for LB.  While he was loafing in Africa, the subject of Ed Snowden came up.  LB’s response was, Ed who?  While everyone in his dysfunctional administration from Sec State - Cambodian war hero John Kerry - to the administration’s paid liar - Jay the carney barker Carney - have been telling us that people might die and attacks on the homeland are more likely due to Snowden’s actions, there’s LB kicking back in Africa, “what, me worry?”

The one word identifier for LB on this page is P-U-N-K.  His most dominant characteristic was well on display in Africa when he took questions from the press.   When the issue of Snowden came up, LB quipped he wouldn’t be scrambling jets for a 29 year old hacker.  Hacker?  HMM, here I thought he didn’t need to hack the NSA because the 29 year old high school drop out who has made fools of the LB administration worked at the NSA.  Besides, LB’s been too busy to worry about a hacker, what with vacation and all. 

LB’s minions are working the issue and there’s no need for LB to get involved.  As he put it:

"I'm not going to have one case of a suspect who we're trying to extradite suddenly being elevated to the point where I've got to start doing wheeling and dealing and trading on a whole host of other issues simply to get a guy extradited."

It's one guy, a 29 year old hacker, what’s the big deal?  The big deal is supposedly the information Snowden has handed over to the Chinese and now the Russians.  That’s the big deal.  It’s not the least bit surprising that LB misses the point.  Wouldn’t it be nice to get Snowden back – not so much to punish him - but rather to see just what he has handed over?  Oh, here’s another question for Ed that might be of interest, “Did anyone help you?” 

But No, it wouldn’t be nice.  It’s so much better to have the President of the United States acting like a too cool for school boy who just got de-pantsed and his scrawny @$$ whipped good by a girl.  He’s standing there in his tighty whities telling everyone that he could have beaten her if wanted to. Besides he claims, “The two black eyes, the bloody nose and the split lip don’t really hurt that much.  Now, has anyone seen my pants?”

Nobody believes a word of it, and one Ed Snowden has your pants.  He just sold them for a quarter to the girl who kicked your @$$.  "Not to worry, I'm not going to start wheeling and dealing to get my pants back.  Besides, aside from the urine stains in the front and the skid marks in the back, I like these new style shorts all the cool kids are wearing.

Of course the school newspaper encourages everyone to adopt the new fashion statement and come to school in their underwear and get their collective @$$es beaten, because it's really cool.

Air Force under attack, easier to comply than fight

In the military today there is some guy named Mikey Weinstein who runs some organization called the Military Religious Freedom Foundation.  Like most things on the left, the name is a misnomer.  The MRFF has nothing to with “religious freedom.”  Rather it is an organization that wants to root out any Christian influence from the military.  Mikey wrote this for the Huffington Post:

“Today, we face incredibly well-funded gangs of fundamentalist Christian monsters who terrorize their fellow Americans by forcing their weaponized and twisted version of Christianity upon their helpless subordinates in our nation’s armed forces.”

Weinstein believes those guilty of what he has referred to as  “treason” must be “punished.” Under federal law, the penalty for treason is death.  

So what’s the big deal?  Here’s the big deal.  Mikey is in bed with the LB administration.  He has been called an unpaid advisor to LB and Box-O-Rocks SecDef Hagel.  Mikey brags that he has a hot line to the Commandant’s office at the Air Force Academy.  He also brags that he was responsible for having a piece of Christian art work removed from the dining hall Mountain Home Air Force Base.

I looked into it.  It’s true.  The commander there, some spineless turd merchant – Col Christopher Short – said he removed the artwork shortly after (within an hour) receiving a complaint. 

In a mind-bendingly stupid comment the Short-round said, “We make reasonable accommodations for all religions and celebrate the religious diversity of our Airmen.”  Hmm, so, he removed the religious painting to show religious diversity.  Brilliant! 

I contacted the Short-round through the Public Affairs Office at Mountain Home, located here.

Col Short

RE:  http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/air-force-removes-inspirational-painting.html/

I’d say you were weak for taking down the painting in the chow hall, but that would be an understatement.  Unless you are willing to walk into an American chow hall in a Muslim country and demand that they serve bacon and ham to “make reasonable accommodations,” you are a coward and a hypocrite.  Sadly, in today’s military, that makes you general officer material.

If you happen to be a Christian, I’d remind you of Jesus’ warning, "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father…”  Matthew 10:33

Good luck kissing butt to the top so that you can stand for absolutely nothing when you get there.

Hit the link and send the Short-round a note.  The nickname of the 335^th Fighter Squadron that the Short-round heads up is “The Gunfighters.”  If the Short-round is so into making “reasonable accommodations” perhaps someone ought to tell him that the term “gunfighter” is soooooo NOT PC these days.  A name change is order.  Perhaps the “Weinstein scrotum suckers” better fit the command climate under the Short-round. 

Fr. Frank Pavone, a man for all seasons

Some time back Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack asked Grand San Fran Nan Pelooser who she could reconcile the death of a child outside the mother’s womb at 20 weeks at the hands of murdering scum like Kermit Gosnell and shredding the same child in uterine.  Or course the mental midget could not square the circle.   Instead the creep hid behind her religion stating:
“As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this. This shouldn’t have anything to do with politics.”

WTF (Win the future)?  To be clear abortion is sacred ground for Libs, but the Catholic Church has NEVER SANCTIONED ANY KIND OF ABORTION.  In the post under Lex talked of Men for All Seasons.  One has surfaced.  Father Frank Pavone, the national director of Priests for Life, loudly and publicly slammed the Grand Dope of the Demo-Dope House:

With this statement, you make a mockery of the Catholic faith and of the tens of millions of Americans who consider themselves ‘practicing and respectful Catholics’ and who find the killing of children -- whether inside or outside the womb—reprehensible.

You speak here of Catholic faith as if it is supposed to hide us from reality instead of lead us to face reality, as if it is supposed to confuse basic moral truths instead of clarify them, and as if it is supposed to help us escape the hard moral questions of life rather than help us confront them.

Whatever Catholic faith you claim to respect and practice, it is not the faith that the Catholic Church teaches. And I speak for countless Catholics when I say that it's time for you to stop speaking as if it were.

Abortion is not sacred ground; it is sacrilegious ground. To imagine God giving the slightest approval to an act that dismembers a child he created is offensive to both faith and reason.

He wrapped up with the line that should be delivered to about 99.99% of the Demo-Dope Catholics,
“Either exercise your duties as a public servant and a Catholic, or have the honesty to formally renounce them.”

The San Fran Dim Wit can barely speak coherently for herself.  She does not speak for the Catholic Church.   

And the winner is....

In 1966, the Oscar for Best Picture went to “A Man for All Seasons.”  That movie is about the life of Saint Thomas More, who on principle, stood against King Henry VIII.  SPOILER ALERT - In the end, More was beheaded for standing with his church and not granting the king a series of divorces and annulments. 

That was 1966 or the 16^th century, however you prefer to look at it.  This is 2013.  What’s the point?  First point, can you, in your deepest imagination, even  conger a serious thought of movie about a Saint even being considered for a Best Picture Oscar in today’s Hollywood?  It more likely that you will be struck lightening, win the power ball jackpot, be mauled by a polar bear and see the Cincinnati Bengals hoist the Super Bowl trophy all on the same day than see the current group of Hollywood big shots give such a movie a fair shot.

Next point, what was More standing against?  More stood firmly against an onerous all-powerful king.  Henry thought that by edict he could tell people what to think, how to act and who to serve.   More would have none of it. 

So Henry jailed More in the Tower of London for more than a year to work on More’s stubborn conscience.  When Henry failed to convince More of the advantages of seeing religion as the king saw religion, Henry had More tried for treason and his head lopped off.

Next point, what was More standing for? In a time when it would certainly would have been easier for More to go along and get along, he stood for his Church, the rights of man, religious liberty and freedom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, what does that have to do with today?  How is today any different?  We have know-nothing little twerp telling us that we have to pay for the neighbor’s abortion – even if it violates deeply held religious beliefs.  We have the twerp telling us that Catholic schools should be shut down because they are divisive.  You have a government shutting down Catholic adoption services because Catholics insist on the quaint idea that children are best served in a home with married mother and father.  You have government defunding Catholic refugee services because they refuse to offer abortion and contraceptives.  The Supreme Court is about to announce its ruling on homosexual marriage, that could place Catholic Churches in the position of marring homosexuals or losing tax exempt status.  We have a government that thinks it is perfectly OK to collect every bit of information on us as long as they promise not to use it until later.

So if we fail to bow at the alter liberalism and fund its sacraments of abortion, homosexual marriage and a basic hedonistic lifestyle, we’ll end like More on the wrong side of a tyrannical government.   Now, that tyrannical knows government knows everything about us.  Oh sure, a tyrant would never use any of that information to shut us up, get a Supreme Court Justice to vote their way, scare certain people out of politics or even from voting. 

The NSA spy thing is the government’s Tower of London of today.  They won’t put you on the rack.  They’ll threaten to expose you, your children, your wife or something else you hold dear to get you to do what they want. 

So, who is the man for all seasons in the mess we’ve created for ourselves?  Who will stand up to this tyrannical government? 

If the war is over, why do we need the NSA spy program?

According to our fearless dip$h!t at 1600 PA Ave, no war can last forever, and so he unilaterally declared the war on Islamo-Terror-Fascists over.  Notice he didn’t declare victory.  He simply declared the war over.

Just a couple of things about that.  Did the Chief Asswagon check with the ITF before declaring the war over?  No.  He did not. 

Seems to me, both sides have to agree the war is over for it to truly be over.   Because the ITF have made no such declaration, I guess we have entered the pre 9-11 mindset where the ITF declare war on us, and we swear we will unleash the full force of the FBI on them if they attack us, unless the attack come on an embassy just before an election - then we’ll arrest a dopey filmmaker to cove the Asswagon.  Maybe we should threaten to unleash the IRS on the ITF.  Nope.  That will not work.  The IRS is made up of political class cowards who would no more stand up when confronted with injustice than Moochy Moochelle would pass on a taxpayer funded vacation to Cabo.

Now, after the NSA story broke all manner of pols from Dick Cheney to the Chief Asswagon himself declared that Ed Snowden did great harm to a program that had help stop some 50 terror attacks across the globe.  WTF (win the future)?  I thought the war was over.  What are these 50 attacks then?

Seems to me, that by declaring the NSA spy program so vital to US security from ITF, Asswagon Barry or AWB (not the Average White Band) and his merry team of Assclowns is telling us the war is not over.  But thinking people know that a war that began in 1803 and has boiled over a 100+ times since, is never going to really end until there is a boot across the throat of one side or the other.  AWB has made it easier for the ITF to get their boot to our throat.

Making popcorn at the White House

Another day and it’s another round of scandals popping like a pan of Jiffy Pop Popcorn in mid-cycle.  Most administrations have a cycle like at the very beginning of the popcorn cycle where each pop is distinct and can be easily counted.  The LB administration these days is like the popcorn at mid-cycle.  So many kernels are popping simultaneously, it’s impossible to count them or distinguish one from the other.

 In the beginning, among others, we had the “cops acted stupidly,” the New same as the old Black panther Scandal, Fast and Furious, DHS declaring returning war vets a bigger threat than Islamo-Terror-Fascists, and the long series  of LB bow and apologize tours.  Then things began to seriously pop with Benghazi, the GAO scandal and the famous picture of bath tub boy,  where the agency spent tens of millions on a Las Vegas “conference.” 

After the election we hit mid-cycle and scandals are popping so fast there is no way to track or distinguish one from another.   It became clear LB and his entire entourage of lying scumbags had covered up actual events in Benghazi, - to the extent that they were willing to blame the whole thing on a man who had nothing to do with it and jail him.   Yeah, they jailed a guy on trumped up charges to save LB from having to explain why an American Ambassador and three other were killed on his watch.

But not to worry.  LB told us the perps would be brought to justice.  Yet as of today, the ONLY one doing hard time is the filmmaker. 

CONSPIRACY THEORY #4-13:  Right before the 2014 elections several people in Libya will be killed or captured.  LB will address the nation and tell us that the Benghazi perps had been brought to justice, just like he promised.  

But then the popcorn began to really roll.  The IRS story broke.  The AP story broke.  The James Rosen story broke.  The NSA story broke.

But it never ends.  Quick hits on just today’s stories about government BS:

LB says Catholic Schools “encourage division” so he wants them done away with.  Now this was in N. Ireland and it’s not clear if thinks American parochial schools are as divisive here as they are in N. Ireland, but I’ll bet he does.  OK, let’s accept the d-bag’s theory.  What’s the biggest divisive thing in America today?  Why it’s LB himself.  So if the solution for ending divisiveness in N. Ireland is getting rid of the Catholic schools, then what is the solution for ending divisiveness here in America?  Well LB since you’re the one causing it, see ya.

Then as if they haven’t already proven themselves to be a gang of worthless government @$$weasels, after targeting Tea Party and religious groups ahead of the 2012 election, and after being caught spending 50 million on an employee “conference,” the IRS wants to award it’s gang of overpaid Nazi BS workers 70 million in bonuses.  You cannot make this $h!t up.

Then the Capitol Hill branch of LB’s army of SS blocked Tea Party ralliers on Capitol Hill yesterday. 

Tomorrow there will be ten more scandals.  The total affect is to numb people to this administration's total corrupt nature and incompetence.  It’s a play on Stalin’s observation, one death is a tragedy.  A million deaths is a statistic.  One scandal can be tracked and bring down an administration ten scandals a day become too confusing for anyone to follow.

Oh, if the popcorn analogy sounds familiar to the Griffin, so sad too bad.  I didn’t see any copy right on it.  Besides, the only real question that remains is where you stole the idea so that proper credit can be given. 

Marco who?

Anyone who still thinks Marco Rubio can be the savior of the Republican Party, read this quote from his promise made on Univision Spanish speaking network – no doubt in Spanish because after all one of the goals of “comprehensive immigration reform” is to get illegal aliens speaking English.  Hey, sadly it makes sense to politicians.

“First comes the legalization. Then comes the measures to secure the border." Rubio added, “It is not conditional. The legalization is not conditional.”

Wonderful.  Marco, we hardly knew thee.  Rubio claims that the legalization must come first so we can ID all of the illegals immediately.  So that we don’t continue to have a stream of new illegal coming in as the fence is built. 

OK if that is truly the reason, have a one day amnesty.  Just like we have an Election Day, we have an Amnesty Day.  Notify the country that Amnesty Day is the first Tuesday of the first full week in November.  If you are unable to attend because you’ll be out of the country on a drug run, child trafficking run, prostitution run, bomb run, or other illegal alien business then you must notify your local Board of Illegal Alien Registration to get an absentee illegal alien registration card.

Rubio would scream louder than Chuckles the schuck Fumer.  They will need a 25 year amnesty period to make sure everyone has a chance to come out of the shadows.  Shadows?  Ha!  The shadows of our hospital emergency rooms, public schools, welfare lines, prisons, the shadows of  illegal worker pick-up lines in front of every convenience store in every major city etc. , those shadows?

Shadows?  Just because certain cities and courts say you cannot ask a person his citizenship status, even if arrested, doesn’t mean these people are living in the shadows.  For the most part these people are openly going about their business until they kill a 17 year old in an unregistered jalopy while slugging down their third quart of Modelo. 

Then the cry is to get them driver’s licenses so that we can ensure the safety of the roads.  That logic says that if the guy who killed the 17 year old had a license, he would ensure the safety of his automobile, register it and not drink and drive.  A license you see equals people acting responsibly. 

If that worked, we should also a license every player on the Cincinnati Bengals so they would stay out of jail and concentrate on football.  We should license every politicians as temporary custodians of our Constitution so that they would stop running rough shod over it every time it suited their political ambitions.

Call me crazy, Ms. Lex does all the time, but I don’t think rewarding criminals with a driver’s license or citizenship is suddenly going to have to have them thinking to themselves,  “Wow.  These people are really getting serious about their laws now.  I’d better shape up or they will insist I move into public housing, take a LB phone, get 199 weeks of unemployment that use to prepare my disability claim and draw food stamps.”  It’s insane.     

But hey so are we.  We elect the same class of @$$bag election after election, all the while we expect things to change in our favor.  Because a third party is electoral suicide in America, we’re screwed.  Conservatives are the blacks of the Republican Party.  Taken for granted with no place to go. 

Quik hits

Syria: Whatever we are going to do we should have done three years ago.  We didn’t because a) LB is weak b) LB is clueless.  As a result the crazy little eye doctor running the country had no fear what-so-ever about America crushing his balls if he strayed from our desired outcome.  Just the presence of Ronald Reagan, GWB or even GHWB would have been enough to keep the eye doctor looking over his shoulder, employing a platoon of food tasters and living most of his daylight hours a mile underground.  With LB, the eye doctor is keeping all of appointments, appearing on state tv and strolling in the park in broad daylight.

Whatever LB does it’ll some half-@$$ed measure designed to make it look as if he’s concerned about the outcome.  He’ll dump a bunch money (we do not have), rifles and ammo on the ground without any regard for who is going to pick the stuff up.  As always, he’ll talk endlessly about how he no idea about anything going on anywhere but he’ll get to the bottom it, even if takes three terms. 

Three years ago I might have been for getting in there and killing as many Islamo-Terror-Fascists as possible, now I’m of the mind we ought to supply guns to both sides and let them kill each other.  As Sara Palin advised, let Allah sort it out.

Snowden:  Three years ago I would have thought the guy needs to be strung up by his thumbs.  Now, I’m not so sure.  I have zero trust that LB and his merry band of @$$ weasels have not been given total access to the NSA database. 

We know from prior experience that LB hires people who use the levers of government power and information to settle personal and political vendettas.  Now we’re supposed to believe that they will not access the biggest and best data base for that purpose.  I suspect that they already have access to it and will use it in the midterm.

Immigration Reform:  Republi-Rats are pulling the handle to flush the nation down the toilet.  The ONLY thing Republicans should agree to is 100% use of e-verify and securing the border.  Those two acts alone would pretty much cause a mass self-deportation and keep new undesirables from entering the country.

It baffles me that the Demo-Dopes who are supposed to be all for equality and fair play are going to allow one group of immigrants head of the line privileges ahead of everyone else based on – not skill sets, not education, not talent, not for political asylum but rather because of their proximity to our border.   Just because they are able to walk across the border toting drugs, guns from Eric the wad Holder, bombs from who knows where, sex and child trafficers etc. the Dopes think they should be legalized.

Republicans ought to counter with: OK you want legalize the current crop illegals?  Fine.  But only after an 18 month period of total open borders where people from anywhere can come here and granted citizenship.  That’s crazy! The howl would come.  How is that any crazier than leaving the border unsecure and letting 11 million illegals in and then giving them amnesty just because they could walk across? 

Like everything these days, I have no confidence that anyone will do the right thing.

Scout policy falling apart

Lex noted this in Friday's brilliant post.  Here's the link.

Amish and Catholics

Living here in NW Indiana, I see a lot of Amish.  In fact, a four man Amish crew built the stable and riding arena here at the compound.  I buy saw dust from an Amish pallet making company and have done a lot business with the local Amish lumber company.  

Given their main means of transportation is horse and buggy, the Amish tend to cluster in tight knit communities.   When one needs help raising a barn or getting the crops in, it’s not uncommon to see dozens of buggies – or as the young Amish call them bugs – parked field side or in the front yard.

When I built my fence, I hired a young Amish fellow to help.  I was supposed to pick him up at 5:30 am Saturday morning.  I pulled into the drive right on time but not a single light was on in the house, as the Amish eschew electricity, running water and other so-called modern conveniences.  I tapped on the horn.  In the early morning stillness, I could hear rustling from an open window and then feet tapping down the stairs.  I heard the door open and a dark figure approached the truck.  The door opened and the dome light revealed Josiah all dressed Amish style with traditional Amish hat and ready to go.  The only thing missing was the ever present Amish beard.  Josiah was 17 years old, and the facial hair gene had somehow missed blessing him with an Amish beard that for some reason never includes a mustache.

Strong as a bull and able to do just about anything in the construction field, Josiah’s skills far exceeded his age.  That’s probably because while he was only 17, he’d already been on the job 5-6 years.  Amish kids attend school through the 8^th grade and then enter a career field.  

When he hopped in, Josiah pulled and i-pod from his pocket and plugged it into the Aux jack of the truck radio and we drove on listening to a Josiah mix of rap, country, and top 40 back to the compound.  Weird huh.  Can’t have electricity but the kid has an i-pod and a cell phone and can drive a bobcat and use electricity to run a compressor to operate a nail gun etc. etc.  See once on the job, the Amish bishop can allow all kinds of exceptions.  In fact even at home there is some electricity.  Many Amish are allowed to install wind turbines and batteries to run LED lights and small appliances.  It’s all up to the bishop.

So, why all this background on the Amish?  It occurred to me in church yesterday that as the world becomes more and more secular, perhaps religious people, Christians in general and Catholics in particular may become more and more like the Amish.  Many people, the LB administration for example, probably already consider Catholics some kind of weird cult.  One guy, a friend – I think – asked me once if Catholics were even Christians.   My dead pan response was, “Yeah, the ORIGINAL Christians.”

I just wonder if at some point Catholics will have to become the insular type of community the Amish have become? 

Cat out as Boy Scout sponsor

Well it appears that there is nothing gay about the homosexual response to the Boy Scout’s half-@$$ed resolution on the subject of homosexual Scouts. It seems IL giant Corp. Caterpillar is cutting support to the Scouts for not going all the way with homosexuals by allowing homosexual leaders as well as homosexual Scouts. There’s also the news that Boy Scouts have marched in at least one homosexual pride parade in uniform. No word yet on whether the Scouts were required to tie their shirt tails in square knots above their trousers so as to expose their midriffs.


A couple of posts under Lex noted the total BS of the Boy Scout’s position would cause more trouble than it would solve. And wa-la, there you have it. Nothing short of two Scouts kissing while two adult leaders holding hands look on approvingly, on the cover of the new Boy Scout Handbook will get the Scouts out of the mess they have created for themselves.

It seems to me the sooner religious groups get the heck out the better off their youth programs will be. The Scout troop Lex Jr. is involved with is totally self sufficient. In fact, it would be better off financially by dumping the Boy Scouts, because there would be no dues requirements.

With the help of St. Vincent’s church the troop has, built a Scout Lodge with three detached buildings, bought two busses, a couple of trailers, canoes, enough camping gear for a battalion of Marines, ski equipment, a dozen rifles, built a first-class climbing wall and provided a safe environment for 10,000s of youths through the years.

They could change the name out front from St. Vincent’s Scout Lodge to St. Vincent’s Youth Lodge and not miss a beat. In fact, they could actually improve the program by removing a layer of bureaucracy – the Boy Scouts of America -from the equation.

They should do it. They could advertise a sex free zone where kids can be kids in a Christian atmosphere without the intrusion of self-loathing liberal BS.

They could offer an a-la-carte menu of events centered on camping and other outdoor activities that kids could choose from and as kids demonstrated the skills obtained, they can move up the leadership ladder. Parents could pay for the events out of pocket or kids could earn the money for their chosen events by working the various fund raisers for the organization.

Now, for today’s totally unrelated paragraph:

I like beer, nay love beer, since “love” seems to be the determining factor in things today. If I love it apparently I have a civil right to it.  I don’t know if I was born that way or if I acquired a taste for the stuff. The Boy Scouts frown on alcohol consumption at their events. This is total BS. If I was born with a “love” for beer, I should be able to drink it wherever and whenever I want. I should be able to force my love for beer onto everyone in my proximity.  It's my civil right, because I love it.  They must accept it, support it and force their kids to accept it as well. After all I was born that way - probably. The Boy Scouts should adopt a resolution allowing moderate consumption of beer at their events as long as no one gets drunk, or at least not too drunk. After all, there are far more beer drinkers than homosexuals. And what about the civil rights of beer drinking homosexuals?

That, Mr. & Mrs. America, is iron clad logic. It cannot be denied. Where else do you get this kind of stuff?

Foiled plots not a good metric for anti-terror

What’s really bugging me is Republi-Rats being co-opted into this senate shamnesty bill, but this just popped into my head. So, here we go.


CASE 1: The head of the NSA told congress that it’s a good thing he’s been collecting data on EVERY PERSON in America because as a result of that effort, dozens of terrorist plots have been discovered. In other news, Indiana’s head of highway safety told reporters that it’s a good thing he banned people from driving their cars because it has deterred 1,000s of accidents everyday.

CASE 2: The head of the NSA told congress that it’s a good thing he’s been collecting data on Muslims in America because as a result of that effort, dozens of terrorist plots have been discovered. In other news, Indiana’s head of highway safety told reporters that it’s a good thing he banned blind people from driving cars because it has deterred 1,000s of accidents.

Case 3: The head of the NSA told congress that it’s a good thing he’s been collecting data on suspicious people and their associates in America because as a result of that effort, dozens or terrorist plots have been discovered. In other news, Indiana’s head of highway safety told reporters that it’s a good thing Indiana has battery traffic laws to bring order to what would be a chaotic mess and cost 1,000s of lives if left to individual wants and desires.

In case 1 everyone is being held accountable for the act of a few. Most Americans deem that to be BS in everyday things such as driving a car, but if the government is acting outside the 4th amendment to keep them “safe,” even if they’ve never done one thing wrong, or maybe because they’ve never done one thing wrong, suddenly Americans are OK with the “everyone” rule.

In case 2 it’s obvious profiling Muslims for terrorist activity is every bit as reasonable as not allowing blind people to drive. We’re quite happy to do the latter but get the heebie-jeebies when anyone suggests the former. So, we default to case 1 where we hold everyone accountable. And even though it creates a mountain of information that is nearly impossible to strain for critical information thereby making us less safe than if we profiled likely terrorists, we think, yeah rounding up everyone makes much more sense. Better to round up everyone than take a chance of peeing off the Islamo-Terror-Fascists. Guess what? They are already PO’d.

Case 3 is the reasonable, common sense approach we’d all hope our government would adopt. As such, it is a non-starter. Besides, what if something slipped between the cracks? Oh you mean like a Ft. Hood shooting or a Boston bombing.

First, to say those events slipped through the cracks would be like the Rock of Gibraltar slipping through the #4 grade gravel screen at down at Irving’s aggregate. These events were there to be seen by anyone who wanted to see them. The fact is, had we been in a case 2 mode, Maj Hassan would have had a courts martial as a 2nd Lt. and the Tsarneav brothers would have been deported after the first warning from Russia.

But yeah, we set up reasonable safeguards, hire efficient people, give them adequate resources and let them do their job. If something slips through the cracks, we find out why and if necessary hold people responsible to account.

That’s another thing missing in government these days – accountability.
