Glad to see the Messiah as the butt of a joke -- Long overdue

Initially there one could sense some reticence on the part of comedians and comic-strip writers (some of the best analysts out there) to making fun of The ONE.

Happily, that has passed. One of my favorites is Tim Kelly. You can find his work on CNS. It is a good source of news and data to counter that crapola spewed by the Dan Rathers, Chris Matthews, and Keith Olbermanns of the world. For your entertainment and edification, I show you a couple of Tim's recent works. Love the ears!!

Zero Tolerance - Of Using Judgement

I love Liberals - they can be so entertaining. In this article we learn of a new form of Zero Tolerance. In a previous, insightful, post I already gave my view of zero tolerance.

Today's lesson in Liberal Lunacy - A school principal, reacting to a child in Middle School getting kicked in the crotch, has instituted a NO TOUCHING policy. No touching, hugging, high-fives, etc. Yah, that kind of touching.

The line of reasoning (I use the term generously) seems to go like this: A student got hurt - this is bad. A form of touch (a kick) was the cause. Therefore some forms of touch must be bad. And since we, as Graduates of Schools of Education, are not capable of discerning between an 'ok' touch and a 'bad' touch - we will ban all forms of touch.

Parents and children, according to the article, are 'outraged'. I should say so. What would outrage me is how such an idiot could be the Principal of a school. Time for a recall election for all of the members of the Board of Education.

I doubt this rule will stand - the parents are likely to prevail. But, the fact that it was even proposed just gives a glimpse into what a screwed up world you have when you let Liberals has the levers of power.

It is TEA time

April 15 will represent what I think will be a watershed event in the US. Nationwide, there are plans for hundreds of anti-government spending rallies. They are being advertised to play off the Boston Tea Party of the 1700s.

To read about them, you can follow this link.

Think about this for a minute. We have had

• Anti-war rallies - Liberals
  
• Pro-Abortion Rallies - Liberals
  
• Million Man March - Liberals
  
• Enviro-weenie Rallies - Liberals
  
• 'Civil Rights' Rallies - Race Baiting Poverty Pimps, blacks, and guilty white LIBERALS
  
• Some number of millions of Liberals showed up for the Ascension of The Messiah
  

What is missing? Big rallies by conservatives. The reasons for this? Well, first of course, we conservatives all have jobs. Jobs which we need to keep so that we can pay the confiscatory tax rates necessary to fund all of the various liberal wet-dream programs.

Next reason? Well, we are not drawn to the 'feel goodism' of these rallies. Rather than get together and sing Kumbaya, we tend to put our heads down and get to work.

But now - these Tea Party rallies? Certain to be populated mostly by conservatives. Why? Well - primarily because we are PISSED. We see our country's foundations slipping away and we have had enough.

We tried to warn all of you about The Communist from Kenya - but you would not see the truth. Oh, no!, you said. He can't REALLY be a Socialist! He can't really have an anti-capitalist agenda in mind. He talks so nice. He is post-racial. He will bring us together. Well, as Dr. Phil likes to say, how is that working out for you? Not so well, it seems.

But, this is a man who surrounded himself with radicals and communists like Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Rev. Wright. He was a student of Saul Alinsky. He openly lamented that the supreme court had not gone far enough towards re-distribution of wealth. He complained that the constitution only says what the government can't do and not what it MUST do. Given that, what the hell surprises you about the outcome?

So, follow the link above and find a Tea Party to attend. Make sure you wear and/or display an anti-government slogan - or a 'militia' flag like this 'Gadsden Flag'.


This is important - because it identifies you are a possible 'domestic terrorist' or 'militia' member. This according to this brain damaged study referenced here. According to the brain trust that wrote this study, other things that could label you a domestic terrorist

• You support a third party candidate like Bob Barr or Ron Paul
  
• You display cartoons that make fun of the IRS, FBI, or UN
  
• You display bumper stickers making fun of the above alphabet soups organizations
  
• You display a 'militia' flag like the one above. Lest you forget, this was a flag from the First American Revolution
  
• You read blogs that worry about the upcoming financial collapse of the US economy
  
• You have an 'unusual' interest in guns. Unusual? If you are not interested in guns, I find YOU unusual.
  
• You support the Libertarian Party. You know, that party that wants the government the hell out of things it has no business in.
  
• You write, read, or display literature that questions the constitutional basis for Federal Government action! Imagine that - you have an interest in the constitution - you might be a terrorist. Thomas Jefferson, call your office.

Do any of these things describe you? Well, according to the State of Missouri, you too could be a domestic terrorist!

So, find a Tea Party rally near you on 15 April. Buy yourself some attractive anti-government bumper stickers or t-shirts. Buy a nice Gadsden Flag and fly it proudly (mine is on order). If it is legal in your area - Strap On you Glock or Smith and Wesson. Open carry is legal where I live - that thought (legal open carry) is enough to make most liberals actually wet themselves!

Make a sign. Use the words Socialist, Communist, No-Bama, No More Bailouts, or 'Dude, where's MY bailout! etc. Be prepared to be called a Nazi, Facist, Neo-Con, etc. Just smile - or not - your choice.

Let the bastards in Washington know you are sick of it. You are not going to take it anymore. The 2010 election is 19 months away. Let them know that payback is a bitch.

Is this the Democrats supporting our troops?

We have always known here at Right of Center that the Democrats in general, and the Liberals in particular, dislike the military. They dislike the concept, the mission, and the ethos involved. They belittle the warrior spirit - and find the patriotism found in the military an anachronism.

From John Kerry (did you know he served in Vietnam) saying our soldiers were terrorizing woman and children; to John Murtha calling them cold blooded killers; To Princess Pelosi working to undermine our bases in Turkey; To them all having voted to cut of aid to the troops; TO Harry Reid saying the war was lost and the surge had failed (before it had actually started;To Pelosi supporting Code Pink in their attempt to ban Military recruiters from Berkley;To them blaming our troops for the global 'cycle of violence'.

But, today we have reached a new low.

His Highness, the Lord Most Righteous Obama, has suggested that we change the rules on how we pay for care our troops who have been injured in battle. Currently, the Veterans Administration covers their medical costs. This is how is has always been. This is how it should be. These are our wounded warriors. These are the men and women who go into harms way to protect and defend the rest of us. The least we can do is to care for them should any harm befall them.

The Messiah's idea? Make these heroes private insurance reimburse the VA for the cost of their care!! In essence, make the troops responsible for their own, combat related, injuries. What ass-wipe in the White House thought of this. It is as bad an idea as I have heard from them - and I have heard some doozies.

First - we owe it to the soldiers to treat them better than this. Our paying for their care is an essential part of the fabric of the military. This, then, must be why The Messiah and his minions have chosen to attack.

And, from a practical level, will an ex-soldier ever expect to get insurance? Or get a job that offers insurance. If the insurance carrier knows, in advance, the possible extent of the expenses involved. These questions should never had had to be ask.

Further - B. Hussein wants to nationalize Health Care for all of us. Why in the hell then would he do this to soldiers? The VA is already a form of Nationalized Health Care - the Liberal wet dream (which helps explain it's wide spread deficiencies). So - it is nationalized and he wants to re-privatize it, while at the same time nationalize care for you and me?? What the hell?

It is clear. The Libs dislike the Military to the extreme. They have shown it over and over by both word and deed. Shame on them. But, shame has no meaning to them. They are all about power, control, and retribution. They are not happy we won in Iraq - it did not fit the template the Bush was a liar and bumbler.

Maybe this is a way for them to extract some small amount of revenge for having been shown 100% wrong on Iraq. F- them .. F- all of them

Let's Review What SHOULD be the Limits on the Federal Government

In the Constitution (for those of you that went to public school - it is one of our Founding Documents), there is a description of the allowed powers of the Federal Government. The list is not very long, so let's review:

Section 8 - Powers of Congress

• The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States
  .... Notice the term 'common Defense and 'general' Welfare'. More about that later
  
  
• To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
  ....This they have taken to heart
  
  
• To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;
  ...This talks about 'commerce' - like trading between the states. This disallows, for instance, one State to tax anothers imports.
  
  
• To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
  ...Pretty self explanatory
  
  
• To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
  ...Again, pretty straightforward
  
  
• To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
  ...Ditto
  
  
• To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;
  ...Ok, let's be take a liberal interpretation for today - and say this is roads and highways.
  
  
• To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
  ...Ok - they can protect intellectual property. Today that includes computer programming and TV programs.
  
  
• To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
  ...Set up a Federal Court system
  
  
• To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;
  ...Check - no piracy allowed.
  
  
• To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
  ...They can declare War.
  
  
• To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
  ...If you are going to fight a war, you need an Army.
  
  
• To provide and maintain a Navy;
  ...And a Navy. We will add Air Force - seems logical
  
  
• To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union,
  suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
  ...The Militia is us, by the way
  
  
• To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District...
  ...The District of Columbia
  

We should also look immediately at the 10th amendment. The list above tells Congress what it can do. The 10th clarifies the question 'what about things we didn't mention?':

• The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This means - If we did not tell the Feds, in the constitution, that they can do...then they can't. It is up to the States - or directly to us, the people.

And folks, that's it. Let's look at the purpose as noted:

'For the defense and GENERAL Welfare....'

'General' means 'for everyone, for most people'. It does not say 'specific'. So, the Feds were supposed to be limited to doing things for the public. Parks, roads, defend the country. Things that would be too big for a city or state to do.

It does NOT mean taking my money and giving it to you. That would be for your SPECIFIC welfare.

Let's make a quick list of things NOT given to Congress to do. They SHOULD be, then, left to the States.

• A Federal Department of Education
  
• A Federal Department of the Interior
  
• A Federal Department of Health and Human Services
  
• A Federal Department of Transportation for anything other that building roads
  
• A Federal Welfare program. Because, as we noticed - there is no provision for transferring wealth from one person to another.
  
• Social Security
  
• OSHA
  
• The Environmental Protection Agency
  
• The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
  
• Any Federal Gun Laws
  
• Any Federal Hate Crime Laws
  

You get the idea. That is MOST of what we have allowed the Congress Critters to screw up on our behalf.

Time to take the country BACK.... Is it 1776 yet?

Hey UN - ... and the horse you road in on

Few things chap my fanny more the the freaking UN. This is probably the most worthless, and certainly the most corrupt, organization in the world.

These bastards try to sit there in New York and tell us that we to do this or that to satisfy the 'world community'. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damned about the 'world community' when it comes to their opinion of our foreign policy. We should do what is best for US - let the rest of the world do likewise.

What has my hackles up today? Well, as you can read in this article, some ass-clown at the UN is calling us 'deadbeat donors'! Talk about balls! We already pay WAY more than our 'fair share'. We let the 3rd world thug dictators into this country under the guise of being a 'diplomat'. And they are exempt from our laws while they are here.

Then we have to sit and listen to them bad mouth US. They sit in our own house and preach to US?? They also bad mouth Israel while they are at it.

I say US out of the UN and UN out of the US. Let them meet in Brussels. Most of them would fit right in if the UN moved to Venezuela.

Let these anti-American turd wanna-bees peddle their wares elsewhere. We have had enough.

On taxes - Do as we (Congress) say, not as we do.

This a quick follow on to our post about the hypocrisy of Congress when it comes to energy policy. This post talks about the hypocrisy of Congress when it comes to Taxes.

As we pointed out in a previous post, Charles Rangel is a Congressman from Harlem. He heads the Ways and Means committee. This committee writes all of the tax legislation that craps on your life on a daily basis.

Ol Charlie has tax problems. He did not pay taxes on rental property he owns in the Dominican Republic. At various times he blamed his memory, his accountant, and said the tax code (that he wrote) was 'too complicated'. As Jay Leno said "If it is too complicated for Rangel, how screwed are WE?'

Any way - a guy named Jason Mattera confronted Rangel about this. In a video taped exchange Jason pressed Rangel on a number is issues, including why he failed to pay his taxes. Rangel's response:

Why don't you mind your God Damned business

Awesome. Basically, he told all of us to mind our own business.

New Flash Charles, you ass-clown. Your screwing around with the tax code - and your failure to live up to it -- IS OUR GOD DAMNED BUSINESS.

Always remember - Liberals never want to live in the world that they want to create for you.

Do as we (Congress) say, not as we do

The hypocrisy is illuminating. Last year, Queen Pelosi bragged that Congress would be 'Carbon Neutral'. This was to be her response to the non-existent problem of too much man-made carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The plan was to buy 'offsets'. Offsets supposedly are projects that remove as much carbon dioxide from the air as you are putting into the air. In truth, these are just boondoggle projects designed to move money from industrial interests (power plants) to enviro-weenie projects (planting tress). It forms the basis for the upcoming trillion dollar stealth tax on you and me known as 'cap and trade'. The 'cap' is how much CO2 you are 'allowed' to produce. The 'trade' is you giving money to someone else for the right to produce more that your 'cap'.

So, how did Congress's grand commitment work out? Well, as you would expect - it fizzled before it started. As this article so nicely points out. The problem? Well, no one has a good way of knowing if you are 'carbon neutral' and the 'bothered' them!!! There is also 'inconsistency' in the offset market. Really??? Who would have thought that an endeavor completely at odds with science would have trouble with standards?

So, Congress completely failed. But, do not despair! Just because they failed does NOT mean they will not shackle the rest of us with the requirement to 'try'. It will cost BILLIONS in higher energy costs - and hence higher prices for everything. It will put coal (where we get 48% of our electricity) near bankruptcy. But, this is what the enviro-weenies seem to want.

I say, let THEM sit in the dark then. But, they won't. Because, always remember - Liberals never want to live in the world that they are trying to create for YOU.

This is how you treat our allies?

This article describes something that is freaking stunning! It will take a minute to explain, so follow along. As you read - ask yourself - why does anyone care today?

About 100 years ago, several hundred thousand Armenians were killed in 'some kind' of conflict. The nature of that conflict is a very emotional issue to those involved.

The Armenians claim it was a Genocide against them brought on by the Turks,

The Turks say otherwise, saying it was some type of Armenian Civil conflict.

A hundred years have passed.

In 2007 a group of Jackass Democrats in Congress tried, unsuccessfully, to pass a Resolution labeling these deaths (100 years ago, remember) a Genocide. The Turks responded by threatening to withdraw their (very critical) permission for us to transit Turkey while pursuing the Iraq war. Ah-HAH! There it is.

We have found the answer to the 'why does anyone care' question. It is the REAL reason the Democrats give a damned about a 100 year old incident. Doing so would piss of the Turks. They will be less cooperative with the Military. This seems to please the Democrats!! It was a way to damage the Iraq war effort indirectly. I know, I know - that is a harsh accusation. I invite you to post your own thoughful, alternate theory as a comment.

And the Congress-critters appear to be at it again in 2009. Adding fire to this - the Messiah, on the campaign trail, announced he would recognize the deaths of the Armenians as a GENOCIDE.

At this point - why are they bothering? The Iraq war is essentially won (no thanks to the Democrats). So, perhaps, it is their way of 'punishing' Turkey for helping in the victory in Iraq that all of the Democrats so fervently hope would not happen. You think that harsh? Go back and reading all of the supportive things ANY Democrat said back then. Good Luck finding any. But I digress.

Here we are in the middle of an economic mess. Recession - here, Depression - Looming. Yet, Congress finds the time to voice an opinion about a 100 year old event. They know full well that doing so will piss of an ally. And further, taking this action will benefit the United States absolutely ZERO.

Is this what the Messiah talked about when he talked about building a 'new' global structure. Step one - piss off all the people who are currently your allies? I mean, my God, he wants to talk to the Taliban!!!! Can't congress find SOME resolution to condemn the Taliban for SOMETHING? No, they don't seem to be able to!!! But they want to poke a stick in the eye of a key ally in a very troubled part of the world. Who voted for these idiots?

Are you listening yet? Do you see what is happening? Wake up!
