Well, at least we're getting some truth out of Washington for a change. My usual informants on conservative talk radio have today informed me, your humble crusader for constitutional justice, that the Obama administration and its cronies are for lack of a better term, giving up.
Don't believe me? Consider these words from DHS Secretary Janite Napolitano, via ABC News:
"The notion that you’re going to somehow seal the border and only at that point will you discuss immigration reform – that is not an answer to the problem,” she said. “The border is as secure now as it’s ever been, but we know we can always do more and that will always be the case,” she said. “It’s a big border. It is 1,960 miles across that southwest border. It’s some of the roughest toughest geographical terrain in the world across that border… You’re never going to totally seal the border."
Ummm...Madame Secretary, we're not asking you to SEAL anything. We want the border SECURE. You know, you're the head of the Department of Homeland SECURITY, so a little bit of that on the border with ol' Meh-he-co would go a long way toward reestablishing your long since lost credibility. Though I doubt you'll do so, considering that, as a government official, your common sense has long since gone bye-bye. After all, we still remember your asinine comment about the system "working" in the aftermath of the Underwear Bomber incident.
Or, how about this little gem from Vice President Joe "Bite Me" Biden on June 24th, via CBS News:
Vice President Joe Biden gave a stark assessment of the economy today, telling an audience of supporters, "there's no possibility to restore 8 million jobs lost in the Great Recession."
No possibility? Really? What about the trillion dollars us taxpayers forked over for all of those shovel-ready projects? Wasn't that supposed to CREATE 8 million jobs? Apparently not, since the best you can do is "create or save" jobs in mythical districts and shove money down the throats of car companies and states that didn't want the funds in the first place. Great job there, Skippy.
Add on top of this Obama pushing a so-called "recovery summer" in which a whopping 260 jobs per state (according to Rush Limbaugh) were created this month. Great. A whole 260 jobs. Now I can go out and get the extra income I need to pay off my credit cards....NOT! Obama, I've said it before and I'll say it again, you suck as president and I can't wait until you and your cronies are out in November.

Frabjous Day! Calloo Callay! He Chortled in his Joy!
Two stories seem to be all over every news outlet today: the death of Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia and the recent Supreme Court decision regarding the Chicago gun ban.
First, my take on Bob Byrd: It is sad when any of us loses someone we love, and my heart goes out to his family, though I do not know by whom he is survived. Reports are that he was seriously ill and hospitalized shortly before the good Lord Above brought him home. Rest in peace, Senator. I may not have agreed with your politics or your decisions, but God loves all His children equally and I like to think that I endeavor to do the same.
And now that I've said my piece on that, to the reason for the blog post's title: WOOHOO! The majority of the Supreme Court actually knows what the hell the Second Amendment MEANS!! Hallelujiah! Praise the Lord! I wonder what the hell was bugging the four liberal justices on the court? They should have been APPLAUDING this decision. I heard about it first on the Rush Limbaugh program this morning, and have since heard about it on Tom Sullivan and through various net sites such as American Thinker and Drudge. Basically it boils down to this: People can own guns across all fifty states. Period. End of discussion, no soup for you, come back one year.
Naturally, when the left gets ahold of this, they are going to have a conniption and try to distort the meaning of the ruling, but I wouldn't worry about them having too much ammo to mount an assault. After all, they can't appeal the decision, since there is no higher court in the land, and any litigation that the appellate courts try to funnel upwards will likely be sifted out of the filter that is our justice system.
this is, as Rush touted on his show, a "Glory Glory Hallelujah day" for those of us who believe in the Constitution and our fundamental civil liberties. Could this be a sign of future positive portents to come? Or is this just the first shot fired across the bow in a newly sparked war for our freedoms? Only time will tell.

You can't Know Where You're Going...
Man o man SO MUCH to blog about today. I heard something incredibly stupid from the president, remeniscent of Orwellian doublespeak, I am watching currently a recorded presentation of Glenn Beck's "Founding Fridays" segment of his show, and am learning so much more about history that's not in the text books that I could very well go to wherever they write these things, and beat someone over the head for not including them, and for outright destroying the most important weapon in the war for freedom and liberty: Information!
This will likely be a long post, so those with short attention spans (*cough*liberals*cough) should really consider reading Dick and Jane instead. Or if that's too much for you, might I suggest Dr. Seuss..
Anyhow, to the news!
Item One: Apparently an Arizona Supervisor doesn't even know that her state is on the border. Via Hot Air:
There was an odd moment during the debate when Supervisor Peggy West stood up and seemed to be confused about her geography. “If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border,” West said during debate…
While speaking at the meeting, West did go on to talk about National Guard troops on the border in Arizona. West points to that as she tells us that she simply misspoke…
West claims that the point she was trying to make is that because Texas has a much larger border with Mexico, she might feel differently about such a law in that state. “Had Texas come out with the legislation, having the largest border, I think that I would be more receptive to the fact that there was a problem. But having it be Arizona, having it be the second largest boarder and knowing there are troops on the border in Arizona, it didn’t seem to me that this legislation was particularly necessary at this moment in time,” West said.
Can you even BELIEVE that she said that? Just to make sure the world hadn't turned upside down, I had to look up a map of the United States to make sure that Arizona hadn't been moved without me knowing. Fortunately, it hadn't. Still, someone might want to tell this moonbat to look at a damned map every once in a while.
Item 2: President Obama on radio this morning actually had the hugeness of balls to say that cutting deficit spending will make the deficit expand! What?!
Via Talk Radio and Washington Post:
But as he meets with the Group of 8 in a rural resort town north of here, Obama is appealing to European leaders not to trim back public spending in the midst of a growing debt crisis on the continent.
The radio version of his words, a direct sound bite, said something about how cutting spending would somehow cause the Europeans' deficits to expand anyway.
Um...How? How will NOT spending money result in SPENDING OF MONEY!? Good God this president makes my head hurt!
Item 3 (possibly the most important item). So it turns out that there were black people back in 1789. Huh. Who knew? Well, apparently those in charge of writing our textbooks for schools knew and decided not to tell anyone. What's more, they decided to lie and say that everyone was a Negro hating racist ever since the founding of this country, even though they have newspapers and history books FROM THAT TIME PERIOD that not only mention these guys, but give the ones who fought in the Revolution FULL MILITARY HONORS. Huh. What bigoted assholes.
Item 4: I have decided that whenever I have the money to take a trip to another state, one of those states must be Virginia, capital state of the now defunct Confederacy. Or, as they called themselves in the Confederate Constitution, the SLAVEHOLDING Confederate States of America. That's right, I said SLAVE HOLDING. All those morons who say the Confederacy was fighting for states rights are pretty much liars, since it says IN THE CONSTITUTION that to join the Confederacy you must allow slavery. Wow. I thought it was about States Rights. Wouldn't that mean that the state would be the one to choose? Yeah, I think it would. Funny how those "rights" things work, ain't it?
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. More to come in future posts. Please tape your heads together to keep the brain matter inside in the event of a cranial explosion.

How Well do YOU Think the Commies are Doing?
Check this out: It's the goals in 1963 for the Communist Party USA. How many have they completed and how many are they about to complete? Ask yourself that and check the ones off that you think they've accomplished:
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

I'm in Love with Her, and I Won't Apologize
For those of you who are completely not in the know about things that are awesome, which hopefully is very few, I would like to introduce you to my new favorite song writer ever in all the world and universe combined. The man calls himself Jon David. I say "calls himself" because that isn't his real name. I will not divulge that here because I do not want to be even indirectly responsible for more attacks against him, as he receives such daily, like many conservative performers in Hollywood. Yes, he's a Hollywood Conservative. Gasp and Horror! Amazing. I thought they died out years ago.
Here's the video:

Further Attempts to Discredit a Celebrity
So, I just put myself through the worst sort of torture I can possibly think of: I read an issue of Newsweek. Voluntarily. Yes, I know, you’re asking “What the hell were you thinking?” “Don’t you know that can be hazardous to the health of a thinking person?”
Yes, I do know that, and I apologize to you, my fellow tin-foil-hat-wearers, for endangering my life so recklessly. I felt it necessary to delve into that subculture of left wing lunacy in order to discover some modicum of fairness and impartiality in that flagging toilet rag of a magazine. As of yet, I have come up empty in that search. My latest foray merely stoked the fires of my outrage against all things Leftist, and has given me the wherewithal to write these words.
To the point, once again the left has attempted to drag both Sarah Palin and the institution of marriage through the mud.
Newsweek truly does not screen their writers for content, otherwise they would very likely see that the articles written for them are little more than failed school assignments written by disgruntled college dropouts. Case in point, the article on Sarah.
It points out many supposed “facts” about the governor and does try to at least PRETEND to be fair in there assessment of her, but they don’t do a very good job. They constantly wonder why Palin has the star power that she has, all the while dismissing her reasons as “suspect”. They can’t understand why she continues to tell the story of the birth of her son Trig, claiming that to do so was “charming at first” but now has become “suspicious” and “self serving.” These idiots just don’t get it, and I find myself wondering what I was thinking when I allowed myself to believe that this time they might. I guess I just enjoy beating my head against a wall. I don’t know, really.
My favorite part of the article, though, was the few paragraphs that described Palin’s new brand of feminism as a “joke” and a “contrivance.” She (Palin) derided the old school feminism as “a relic of the faculty lounge at some East Coast college, right?” Well, there I can’t say she’s wrong. How many times have the NOW (Neurotic Overbearing Whiners) told us one or another thing we should be outraged about, only to discover that they are the only ones outraged by it. Remember the Tim Tebow super bowl ad all those months ago? I rest my case.
As a Palin supporter, I have to say I’m sympathetic to her plight involving the moonbats on the left. Though if these are the best attacks they can muster, they’re not exactly rolling out the big guns. Maybe they wasted all their ammo on Anne Coulter and trying to convince us that she’s once again “gone too far.”
Palin’s religion, of course, is also subject to attacks throughout the article. Check out this little gem: “It is impossible to know what Palin really believes about God, but having been raised in conservative evangelical churches in Alaska, she is fluent in evangelical language and culture.” Language and culture? What are they, a tribe of Pygmies? Yeesh. And what’s all that about not really knowing what Palin believes about God? Do they have wax in their ears? Or are they just too busy trying to degrade the Tea Party as racist to be able to realize that she tells those listening to her exactly what she believes every time the subject comes up? My vote is for the latter.
There will be more on this Newsweek issue in the next few days, thanks to their being several articles out there that runaway Malaysian sweatshop workers could have written better than these so called “journalists”.
I can’t wait to grade them.

The Whorrification of Hannah Montana
I wish there was something else I could rant about, but it's a slow news day and everyone else has decided to take up the McCrystal story (hat's off to the guy, btw. I wish I had balls that big.) And so, I take it upon myself, along with Hack Wilson, to discuss the skankification of someone who used to be, in my eyes, a good role model for teenage girls.
I, being a man in my late twenties, was in no way interested in the television show Hannah Montana when it first aired. I still am not. However, I did see the movie at the behest of my fiance, and after I saw it, I was able to come to the conclusion that, yes, the Hannah Montana character did in fact push a decent message for young girls of that age group.
Unfortunately my approval was not to last. I was at first skeptical when my mother first told me of stories about the teen star dating men twice her age and her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, approving of it. But when she showed me the article and pictures, there wasn't much I could do to deny what I saw right in front of my face.
Now, after watching last night's O'Reilly Factor, I am fully convinced that my daughters, whenever they are born, will have nothing to do with this degenerate insult to femininity everywhere. Her justification is, apparently, wanting to emulate Lady Gaga, who is plenty "gaga' alright, but is no lady.
The culture war continues to rage, boys and girls, and Miley Cyrus's positive message about self reliance and following your dreams is but the latest casualty. As Bob Marley once sang: "How long can they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look?" When, in other words, will we do something to stop the constant inner decay of the morals of this country and finally clean up the mess left behind by the Sexual Revolution and the counter culture of the sixties? WHEN!?
I, being a man in my late twenties, was in no way interested in the television show Hannah Montana when it first aired. I still am not. However, I did see the movie at the behest of my fiance, and after I saw it, I was able to come to the conclusion that, yes, the Hannah Montana character did in fact push a decent message for young girls of that age group.
Unfortunately my approval was not to last.

But when she showed me the article and pictures, there wasn't much I could do to deny what I saw right in front of my face.

No, That's NOT a Water Balloon...
At least that's what the moobat liberals would have you believe. Via Moonbattery.
Yeah, I'll let that sink in just a bit before I go on.
Ready yet? No? Okay...
Yeah. It's going to take a while to clean up all the brain tissue from all the heads that exploded as a result of reading that article, so I'm going to go on while they do so.
How long are we going to let this happen? Kids have more rights than parents these days, honestly. Why not teach abstinence? Why? Because that would deny children the fundamental right of being perverted. Yep, those Founding Fathers, evil racist bigots that they were, didn't include a fundamental right to sexual depravity in that tired old piece of paper we call the constitution. They were just too damned focused on us being able to live our own damn lives without big daddy government getting in the way. Such incredibly shortsighted individuals, those guys.
I can't really say anymore on this that hasn't already been said, so feel free to fill in your own take on the comments section.

Stepford Wives: Family Values Being Dragged Through the Mud
Well, last week I just had the unfortunate experience of watching some Left Wing drivel out of Hollywood. Watching the Stepford Wives was supposed to be an evening of dark humor and mild suspense. It turned out to be nothing more than a thinly veiled political statement against traditional values. Namely the traditional American family.
From the moment I saw the fictional community of Stepford, I knew something wasn’t right, and not just because I already knew the plot of the movie going in. I knew that somehow, some way, this movie would be used to discredit the American housewife, and I was right.
From the moment the main characters, a high powered female TV executive recently fired from her job due to bad publicity thanks to an angry, gun-toting former contestant on the infidelity promoting game show “I Can do Better”, and a “house husband” played by Matthew Broderick, whose idea it is to move to Stepford in order for his wife to recharge the batteries and maybe connect with her on a more personal level, move to the seemingly benign Connecticut gated community, things are weird. All the women are thin, blonde, and beautiful, and are creepily cheerful 24/7.
This in and of itself is only marginally creepy, however, until you find out the reason why. The reason Stepford is the way it is is because each of the women who live there is being forcibly mind controlled by their overbearing husbands. Even the gay couple, who moved to Stepford for the same reasons the other families did, is affected, with the overly effeminate character being "reeducated" into acting more masculine so that he can run and win a bid for the Connecticut state Senate.
Put this into the atmosphere of Stepford, which is overly patriotic, with the American flag everywhere and music such as The Halls of Montezuma playing during picnics and other city functions, and you have the makings for a movie that deliberately tries to discredit family life in every way shape and form. The housewives are drones, the husbands are overbearing louts, and the two characters who believe in the 1950's stereotype are a robot and a lunatic!
So what does this say about the characters in this movie? A lot. it says that anyone pushing the traditional view of the American family is either a robot incapable of thinking for themselves, or a lunatic trying to "turn back the clock."
Think I'm kidding? Consider this: The man I mentioned above, who was a contestant on a fictional reality show, is portrayed as a gun-toting psycho. The women who make up the Stepford Wives were all in positions of power, but were subverted by their overbearing, underachieving husbands because the men were "afraid" of their wives. Jon Lovitz, who is hilarious in many of the movies he does, specifically answers his wife's question of "why can't you clean the house once in a while?" with "because I have a PENIS?" As if that exempts him from doing any kind of housework.
The end scene of the movie is, while humorous to some, insulting to yours truly, as it shows the men trolling through the grocery store utterly and completely lost, as if they have no idea what to do. The laughter of their respective wives is heard as a voice over, adding insult to injury. Apparently someone wanted to show men their "Proper" place in the universe.
All in all, the movie was a waste of time, and I felt the need to shower immediately after watching it.

Neither the Time nor the Place
This story from the Cape Cod Times really makes my blood boil. I'm all for dissent, and yes, I DO believe that it is the highest form of patriotism. However, I do not believe that one side has exclusive rights to patriotism.
The story basically goes down as saying that two teachers held a silent protest while attending a recognition ceremony for high school seniors who are entering the military after graduation. Okay, they can protest. They can express their way of thinking. That's what makes this country great. If they didn't think the ceremony should have been held they could say so. That's not what my beef is with these two.
My beef with these two is WHY DID THEY EVEN GO TO THE CEREMONY IF THEY DIDN'T AGREE WITH IT!?
They claim "captive audience" in the article, but I don't buy that for a minute. The students might have been required to attend, but the teachers could have found some way out somehow. If you don't believe that, you're a fool in my opinion.
Uh oh. I called people a name. The liberals must be going out of their minds trying to pin me as a terrorist Tim MacVeigh wannabe. Psh.
My personal favorite excuse, actually, is when one of the teachers says "I want them to be home and alive and well and going to college and dating and having kids and coaching Little League."
My question to that is...Who doesn't?
I may be a conservative, but that doesn't mean I enjoy watching our brave troops go into harms way. It's not like it's a game for me, who has three cousins in the Marine Corps, and who has a proud military tradition going all the way back to the days of the Founders.
The real issue here, though, is that they called this ceremony a "recruiting effort". Bull. There sole rationale for reaching this conclusion was that one of the organizers of the ceremony decided to show up in military fatigues. WHAT?!
According to that logic, everything the military shows up toin fatigues is a recruiting drive, and why the hell shouldn't they try to recruit? The military is a prestigious and honorable way of life to undertake. I myself tried to enter into that life just a year ago, as an Air Force reservist, but unfortunately did not pass the physical.
Again, how is showing up in military fatigues to a ceremony honoring those entering the military a recruitment drive? There was no one out there holding brochures or handing out fliers.
Just a bunch of idiocy to me, really.

Screw the Union Label
Remember that old song, "Look for the Union Label"? No? Me either.
Actually, I do know of the song, thanks to an old episode of the sitcom Boy Meets World, but that's not what this is about.
This is about how much Unions suck the fat ass.
Take a look at this story from Fox News and tell me that you aren't outraged. Go ahead, tell me. What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? I thought so.
I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. Teachers Unions have been wallowing around in their own self importance like Jabba the Hutt for decades now, and like the Star Wars gangster slug, think themselves untouchable. Well, we'll see how that plays out in the future. Meantime, I wish this brave soul victory in his latest battle to continue serving our country by teaching our newest generation the values of military service.
One can only hope that, like Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, someone puts a choke hold on these dimwits trying to extort money from people who aren't even members, and allow us to watch their last gasps as the concept of the worker's union dies a long overdue death.

Red? Blue? No! What Color is Tea Again?
I'm 24 hours late in bringing this to the blog, but I still feel the need to say something. A THIRD PARTY CANDIDATE won the Nevada Primary and will now slug it out with Prince Harry Reid in November...WTF?! I thought third parties only split the votes and made it easier for the liberals to win! This is momentous! Even if she doesn't beat Harry, it's still sending a message to Washington that we'd rather see a complete unknown go in than either a Democrat OR a Republican. Now, I know this isn't the end of the fight, but still, I'm filled with hope for my home state for the first time in two years. What would it mean if Sharon Angle, the Tea Party candidate who beat down Danny Tarkanian (I think that's how you spell it),actually beat Harry Reid? Or even came close for that matter? Well, let's look at that.
Nowhere in history can you find a place where a third party ever beat both establishments, except maybe for the election of Jessie "The Body" Ventura on the libertarian ticket a while back, who turned out to be little more than a one term wonder. Even Teddy Roosevelt, the most popular president in our history, couldn't win on a third party ticket. Yet here comes Ms. Angle, out of nowhere, completely smashing the conventional wisdom to bits and snagging the nomination.
As a native Nevadan, I can tell you that I would have voted for her as well, if her record is as accurate as I'm told it is. Seeing that she's won tells me a couple of things about the mood of that state.
1. They are fed up. Fed up with both the dems and the repubs. I'm willing to bet that the democrats who voted for Harry Reid only did so because they had to per the rules of the primary.
2. They aren't falling for the RINO ploy anymore. The liberal republican who was trying for the nomination flat out lost. Tarkanian came in second, and Angle won. Again, this does not bode well for either party in Nevada.
Now, I can just hear the liberal left going nuts over this: "The TEA party will never beat Harry Reid, she'd too unknown" Blah blah blah. Yeah, they said the same thing about Harry Truman being unable to defeat Thomas Dewey in the 40's. He won. Nuff said.
Here's to ya, Nevada, hoping to bring forth the first wave of real Hope and Change in the coming November landslides.
Continuing to Fight the Good Fight.

Outrage Rediscovered, Courtesy of the Savage Nation.
Well, it was bound to happen. The Constitutional Crusader is BACK IN THE GAME, people! Once more you shall be regailed with cynical tales of outragiously stupid liberals who think this place is run by magical money-generating unicorns and leprechauns!
Kudos to Micheal Savage for bringing this to America's attention, and kudos to the person who posted this on Facebook for bringing it to MY attention.
Note the part where she actually thinks that this country is capable of sustaining six hundred million people (There are currently 300 million in the country, btw).
Also, note the absolutely moronic comments regarding where Obama gets the money to pay for her welfare check (yes, she is on welfare and is proud of it.)
According to her logic, we should just get rid of our borders and welcome everyone, even the terrorists and criminals who killed and terrorized Arizona and Texas ranchers for years. Yeah, that'll solve the problem.
This is why welfare needs to be severely cut down, if not eliminated entirely, save for those who NEED it. In my opinion, if you can walk into the welfare office under your own power, with no assistance whatsoever, you get your scrawny ass OUT THERE AND GET A DAMN JOB!
Rant over. Until next time, fellow-tin-foil-hat wearers.

Still hangin' in There.
As the title suggests, I'm still alive. Haven't had much time for blogging lately, but I get to it when I can (like now). As I write this I've had several crappy things happen to me over the past couple of weeks that have somewhat shaken my newfound faith in my own ability to live on my own, however, with the support system I have, it'll only be a matter of time before things get better.
Anyway, to the explanation of what that above means:
1. My car finally crapped out on me after years of loyal service due to a blown head gasket that will cost more than the car is worth to fix. Hence, it will soon be sent to the junk heap.
2. I got a parking ticket for that car just the next week later because it had been on the street without current registration tags. Crap. Oh, well.
3. My payment to Capital One to take care of my Credit Card balance was returned, thus rendering me in receipt of a returned check fee, as well as an over limit fee, so I now owe them more of what they know I do not have.
So all in all, fun week for me. OH! And I stumbled across some new "blame Bush" crap from the left:
Apparently that big bad GWB won the presidency in 2000, which made Al Gore bitter and resentful, thus resulting in marital problems at home, culminating in the split of Al and Tipper. What a piece of work these nimrods are, huh?
