Lurid Rapper Gets an Invite to da' House

First off, apparently it's okay to promote illegal guns, president burning, cop killing, gang violence, and other incoherent bumptiousness, as long as.. What? How much further can Americans retreat?

While owning legal firearms, praising Presidents who once supported the Constitution, assisting and not 'overworking' our local law enforcement, and other *gasp* Christian activities, are considered 'terroristic' according to those same people.

Just what have we become? We demand social justice at the expense of the just. We demand fairness at the expense of those who deserve it the most. We enforce a twisted sense of morality that is arbitrary and twisted.

We pay out trillions of undeserved entitlements, kill our own posterity, and heap blame upon those who are simply aghast spectators of the world's greatest nation imploding. Meanwhile, Sarah Palin will catch hell for criticizing this abomination and we'll just keep moving along.

Hip, Hip, Hurra... Never Mind

She's Too Good for Everyone

Clever, maybe a little bit too self revealing. Some things that seem unobtainable are better left that way.

The Welfare State Almost Outnumbers Us Suckers.

In his piece, "Reliance on Uncle Sam hits a record", Dennis Cauchon, of USA TODAY, begins by stating an Obama dream. "Americans depended more on government assistance in 2010 than at any other time in the nation's history..." "A record 18.3% of the nation's total personal income was a payment from the government..." From the government, that's our taxes folks, not some benign happy faced Santa.

He finishes with this stunner, " Wages accounted for the lowest share of income — 51.0% — since the government began keeping track in 1929."

So, what does that mean? It means that the few of us who work will pay higher and higher amounts of outright taxes, and a multitude of continuing hidden taxes.

Do you really think that by taxing business it won't affect us? It's like sawing off the branch we're sitting on. We, the consumer, pay their taxes. Nobody else. We pay government to produce nothing. Government ROI=ZERO. It's the law. So, who is footing the bill for everything?

Yes, you. You the sucker who elected an "R" or a "D" thinking they were for the little guy. You that sucker who joined a Union thinking that they were helping you. All the people you let grab more and more power from you have been laughing you in the face all the while.

We have been warned for over 75 years that this day will come. A day when the takers will outnumber the suckers. A day is soon coming when the suckers will stop giving. They will have woken up. The day the suckers start standing up for themselves is the day this all turns around.

Where will all the takers be then? Let's ask Stalin, since all the Proggers love him.

That wasn't an earthquake at Target last month

When I first saw this I thought, "Doesn't California have enough earthquakes?!"
Second question was simply, where did all the funding come from? Who organized this? Who bought all those bagged lunches and hired the buses to drive them in from their gated enclaves?

Of course, SEIU.

I've seen this kind of crowd before; upper East Bench housewives with nothing to do and full of self-righteous-do-gooderism born of a complete ignorance for how the real world works. A catered protest where they have to be transported some distance to be among their commoner serfs is so full of hypocrisy that one struggles to understand. But, there is nothing to understand. It is self loathing and visceral. A flash in the pan, no skin in the game, pot stirring.

They protest loudly, ruin everyone else's day, and then after a safe bus ride to a more safe part of town, smugly hop into their Volvo SUV's and drive home in time to yell at the maid for not preparing dinner before young Heathclif has to make his no-score soccer game at the club.

Marx, Freud, and Progressives generally, have all always found a wealth of 'useful idiots' to whip up into a mindless emotional frenzy among the ranks of ungrateful elitists.

Re: Fw: Fwd: FW: And most of the countries hate us

So, I get this "Re: Fw: Fwd: FW:" message sent straight to me via my Inter-Web-Electrical-Mail-Reading-Machine and forthwith conclude that this message must be of the uppermost urgency to be attended to immediately. After all, with all those exclamation marks it must be a life of death issue.

Oh, read on dear reader, you decide:

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!! Both Republicians & Democrats We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,??????????? In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , Pakistan, Lybia, Egypt and Turkey .. And now Japan Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!! Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries! We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans. AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc,etc. YET...................... They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies. Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries. Sad isn't it? 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this. I'm one of the 1% -- I Just Did And it was a stupid thing to do.

Actually, the amount of entitlement spending that goes to medicare, medicaid, social security, and other ponzi schemes, (that depend an increase of payments over time), far outstrip our foreign spending. By TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

To include religious organizations is a clear liberal foul, since conservatives VASTLY out-contribute in helping the poor via charitable contributions both locally and internationally. They give and give and give. Compare the tax returns from our elected officials and see that our current president, vp, and his liberal cabinet typically donate 2% - 4% to charity (and those are all liberal causes which ALSO receive government contributions).

Your 'government' can only take and take and take. What they dribble out isn't charitable, it bribery.

Add to that the fact that RICH or POOR, conservative Christians contribute between 10% to 30% and more after paying their taxes, which constitute all of the governments wasteful overspending.

THE VERY SAD FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT PRIVATE, CHRISTIAN, CONSERVATIVE, *GASP* TEA PARTY TYPES, ARE THE ONES WHO CARRY THE BULK OF CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

What is worse, GOVERNMENT has caused ALL of these problems. Social Security was never, NEVER, intended to act as a retirement plan. But, once the mega corporations (fascist, government controlled) realized that they didn't need to pay pensions to the serfs, and that the government would see to that, they raided those pension plans.

You can't adopt American children for two reasons: First, ONE AND A QUARTER MILLION, 1,250,000 children are aborted yearly. That is TWO AND A QUARTER A SECOND!
In the time it took me to write this response, almost one thousand children were THROWN IN THE TRASH. Not one abortion was performed by a Christian.

And, you and I paid for each one of them.

Second, adoption regulations in the US are much stricter than adopting abroad. Most families try for years to adopt locally but are met with faceless government bureaucrats who prevent, delay, and frustrate the process.

And, you and I paid for that too.

Third, most 'mothers' are not willing to give up a child that will likely be raised in squalor and abuse for one simple reason: We will pay her to keep this ransom baby. She will get free food, free rent, free cable, and a wide variety of paramours willing to impregnate her repeatedly for more benefits.

The government should not be giving us ANYTHING, except for three things: 1. National Defense 2. Civil law & enforcement 3. A stable currency

All other benefits were meant to be private organizations and local government, to avoid what is happening right now; the bankrupting of our country.

My point is this: WE DON'T NEED MORE GOVERNMENT, WE NEED LESS.

WHAT WE DO NEED, AND SOON, IS A MASS REALIZATION THAT THERE IS A MORAL AUTHORITY -- NAMELY GOD -- WHO HAS BEEN IGNORED IN THE LAST DECLINING 100 YEARS.

Finally, what is the government? It is people. We are all people. Just, those people get paid twice as much as you or I do, to work half as much, and accomplish a mere fraction of what an intact family and community could.

Don't believe all that liberal - progressive bilge. Our problems lie in demanding from government more of what we already hate.

Where Were You When We Needed You, Orrin?

Lately, the Senator has been sending an email (unsolicited) to my inbox trying to convince me that the new, fist swinging, Orrin Hatch, is the only person who can 'bring the government under control.'

My response is, where were you when we needed you? When you were chummy with the Communist, Ted Kennedy, making deals that expanded government into education and making it the unworkable public sector mess it is today; where were you, Mr. Private Sector Conservative?

When your buddy Bill Bennett (we won't even touch his record) promised to push term limits and only run that many, where were you? When we needed a voice in judiciary appointments, too countless to name here, where were you? For the countless times we needed someone who would push government intrusion, regulation, and higher taxes, crushing private sector initiative; where were you?

I voted for your sorry ass every-single-election because you were a hair better than the Democrat -- a single hair. "Better the Devil you know", as Kipling would say. Well, he got one thing right. You had the political capital, the support of the people, and dare I say, the moral impetus of a religion that values freedom above all else; so, where were you?

I'll tell you. You were never where you needed to be for the right reasons because your reasons were different from ours. You are a political chameleon willing to change colors to blend in with the background. Chameleons are creatures that specialize in not standing out. Mission accomplished.

Now you have a savvy new email campaign, website, and all that hip tech that makes you look all next generation Tea Party and all that. Doubtless, you paid top dollar (of our money) to make yourself over for the millionth time so that when elections roll around we'll elect another Orrin Hatch, not the old one, but the hip new Orrin; the Orrin that this time cares about freedom.

I get your newsletters full of cut 'n paste banality and wonder if you've ever read anything about the world around you. The bullet point topics, like "The Importance of Tax Reform" are so incredibly stupid that it could make a persons head explode. Of course, the article has the link to another one of your bland speeches stating the obvious in as colorless way as possible.

So, Orrin, where were you when we needed you?

Helping yourself to our favors and then vanishing.

14 yr old Girl Raped by Cousin, Tired for Adultry, and Whipped to Death

This is the face of EVIL. This is the culture that we are inviting to our shores, supporting all over the world, and will be punished by if things keep going the way they are.

The imam at the local mosque said she was guilty of having an affair with a married man. Her family said she was raped. The imam disagreed. He ordered a fatwa: 101 public lashes. She lasted only 70.

• 14-year-old Hena Akhter was found guilty of adultery and sentenced to 101 public lashes under Shariah law.
• She died from being flogged — despite Shariah law being outlawed in Bangladesh — but doctors tried to cover that up.
• Her family claims she was raped by a cousin.
• Police are now "investigating" the incident.

Not only was she raped by her own relative, but the Islamic community supported her torture and murder by covering up the cause of death, "an initial autopsy report cited no injuries and deemed her death a suicide".

This would be an outrage if the press had any courage whatsoever. Instead, they just cower and write fatuous stories about how bad America is.

I thought the grand liberal chant was, "It's for the children." See how little they really care.

I apologize: Obamulus does work

As it turns out the people at Red Square set me straight about all of Obama's Marxist programs. Yes, it was me, I was looking at the Stimulus as a massive black hole where billions of our tax dollars were lavished uselessly on make-work projects that expand the federal bureaucracy and provide huge cash flow to democrat political campaigns and propaganda.
This graphic vividly demonstrates just how successful Stimulus was. BTW: Stimulus is now the name for a thing, like Godzilla and Helen Thomas.

Who doesn't like communal puddin'?

Okay, just how sanitary is this? A giant mound of communal puddin'. Yum!

You're gonna have to burn that uniform to get the commie off.

One look says it all. Our soldiers are not stupid and they know you are playing them for the fool.
Your strategy is to deplete the military and ruin morale.
It won't work. The American Serviceman believes in something bigger than your ego; they believe in American greatness and the God who blessed this land. Long after your moment is gone there will be an accounting. We can wait.

Those Who Forget History Will Get Their Junk Squeezed

In preparation of the upcoming vacation season means everyday citizens will be traveling by air.
The great news is that it's OPEN GROPE SEASON!

What disturbs me the most is that amidst an avalanche of world uprising and murder, getting groped by the TSA isn't even an issue anymore.I used to get a laugh by calling the leader of the free world, 'Present Jimmy O'bama', after the most inept president ever. This isn't funny anymore. In just the space of a few years we've gone from steering a progressive agenda off the cliff with Bush to kicking in the afterburner and heading straight for the bottom. The leftist glee of seeing if we can break the speed of sound before pounding straight into the desert floor of death and ruin is suicidal.Even in NY, when stupid, intrusive, laws begin to affect 'them', suddenly the proggers are all about reform. Instead, they get a good re-wording.

"Our big, loving federal government picked up the same concept - only now it upgraded it from "random" to "universal - or as they say in New York, "the whole schmear." ...
"After a few short months even the progressive New Yorkers found the practical implementation of their own ideas of fairness and redistributive justice too absurd to continue."

It was a given that after a dismal election, an avowed Marxist revolutionary was now the president elect. Everyone knew what he was. Some agreed, some in vapid denial, most were appalled. The progressives got what they told us we wanted, problem is, once they sell a pack of lies they have to constantly upgrade those lies using truth as the hook--which immediately gets discarded.

"As we can see, even the toughest proponents of utopian relativist morality still need to rely on absolute standards in order to survive and advance their careers. No one can live on junk values alone; that utopian world exists entirely at the expense of the reality-based universe. Those who claim to live solely by impossible utopian principles are only deluding themselves and the others."

Now, as the State rises in power, and more Americans find themselves in poverty and chains than anybody will dare admit, folks are too overwhelmed to even care. They are further pressed into the cognitive dissonance of accepting a utopian worldview because the alternative might mean work. Commitment and work.
The TSA has just been unionized.
We can now expect an exponential expansion in numbers and uses of 'check point searches'. Proggers will be the ones demanding it. Proggers will beg for slavery.
For those Obamaites, how does it feel to get your junk squeezed as a slave now?
For the rest of us: Love, pray, serve, and be patient. God will punish the wicked with the wicked.

Full digital access to NYT.com to cost $455

What a terrific idea!
Charge for content nobody wanted to read when it was free.

Hint: try what the WSJ is doing by providing quality content from respected and OBJECTIVE reporting.

What NYT seems to not understand is that they're not government. When revenues go down they cannot raise taxes and have an army of thugs to ensure that you pay up.
The NYT cannot raise prices and demand more people buy something that they didn't really want for free.

Double down on stupid.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. Term Limits.

12 years only, one of the possible options below..

A. Two Six-year Senate terms

B. Six Two-year House terms

C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

2. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 12/1/11.

The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

Shocking Tea Party Violence!

If this doesn't convince you of the shocking violence spewed forth by the Tea Party, nothing will...

Steven King Bashes GOP... For Not Giving Enough to Charity

Idiots on Parade...

I guess nobody told Steven King that conservatives VASTLY OUTSPEND LIBS IN PER-CAPITA CHARITABLE DONATIONS. Especially to the poor.

Should be on the NewYorkTimes: "Steven King Volunteers His Wealth to Taxes."

Did he consider that his elitist Limousine Liberal pals might not like that idea?

The idea that the self hating non producing rich seeks to destroy itself is axiomatic by now. With Marx’s circular logic feeding their loathing, it is still going strong. Getting too much too soon often produces ingratitude. With ingratitude a person looses all sense of charity and expects someone else to do it all for him.

That is the moral dilemma that people like S.K. can’t work their way out of. Stealing from ‘the rich’ means them, but not THEM, the other them; like those them over there, the bad them.
Look in the mirror buddy, YOU ARE the "Bad Them".

Oh, and this: Obamacare a ‘Platform’ for Socialized Medicine — Rep. Conyers Makes Startling Admission

The Octopus: $200 Million Well Spent?

Yes.













What is interesting is the scale and who really benefits.
We consider this an excess, but to Paul Allen, it would be like us going out and buying a toy boat.

If Paul's worth is $200b that is 100,000 percent of $200m. Paul could buy 1,000 yachts.

Unlike most of us, he can employ hundreds of thousands of people directly and indirectly. So, 200 billion is actually tied up in utilizing their productivity and creating more wealth.
So, this is not static wealth, but dynamic wealth.

Compare this to the stimulus, which consists of money confiscated from productive people by an organization that by law cannot produce anything for profit -- government.
When the government says that it is investing in anything, that is not true. Government can only fund projects that by law cannot return that funding.

Said stimulus is then lavished, not invested, on bogus programs that only exist for reelecting the same people intent of stealing more dynamic wealth and converting it into even more static wealth.

People bitch about oppression, but don't realize that more government only means more oppression. Who wants to risk anything only to have it confiscated by a government or a warlord being supported by that government?

Take your time, I can wait...

I wish we had more like Paul Allen.

C.S. Lewis

When my two oldest were involved in a local play, Narnia, I first made the connection between a reliable quote generator and the author, philosopher, Christian, man. That was almost 20 years ago.
Since then I've read to my children the Narnia series several times and I have consumed many more of his works. C.S. Lewis is still misunderstood amongst the secular community, as this Times article demonstrates.

They focus on his marketability. Why is C.S. Lewis still generating cash for us? They laud his enduring popularity, neglect his basic message, and go to great lengths to find logical loopholes for which to justify their own dismissive attempts on the baseline Christian message.
By baseline Christian message I mean that although he was a converted Anglican, he tried to avoid most doctrinal entanglements.
Here Oppenheimer quotes Mr. Maudlin, an executive editor at HarperOne, who admits as much but as puzzlement:

"Mr. Maudlin became an evangelical Protestant after reading Lewis in college. “But you meet Mormons or Catholics, and their favorite author might be C. S. Lewis,” he said."

The point is, C.S. Lewis outlined a basic Christian set of ideas and standard of behavior as set forth in scripture. There must be something more complicated here, how could this generate commercial demand, C.S. Lewis manage to package Christianity into something that most people can agree on? This is what drives those people nuts!

The one point that C.S. Lewis returns to is that either Jesus is who he says he is, or he is mad, or evil.

That is where this article seems to intentionally deviate. It is a point that just cannot be left alone.

In “Mere Christianity,” Lewis writes of Jesus: “I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: ‘I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.’ That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell.”

This famous passage does not, on a second read, make much sense. After all, could not a great moral teacher have messianic delusions? But on a first read, it is quite persuasive, and classic Lewis. It is clear, confident and a bit humorous, and it offers a stark choice as it firmly suggests the right answer.

This concept cannot be left alone. It IS the great stumbling block and rock of offense. And, Oppenheimer's totally weak response, "could not a great moral teacher have messianic delusions?"

Name one.
