Dede Scozzafava Exits Stage Left

And I do mean Left.

Douglas Hoffman, Good Luck to you sir and may you be what you portend to be.

Dede- you don't come back no more, ya hear? Not as a Republican anyway. Change your party affiliation if you support the left.

We sure as hell don't need any more lying, cheating Democrat Agent Olympia Snowe's.

And I hope that's a lesson to you too Newt.

Ok, Back the party ! Woo Hoooooooo.

Perspective

Don't torture yourself, just watch the first couple minutes, and look at the expression of each and everyone in the frame.

UPDATE: I just had to add, if you don't watch the whole thing and why would you, move the slider to about the 10:22 mark and watch the last 10 seconds or so. At the end you hear a bunch of vocal applause but STILL there isn't a ONE of the men in the frame standing around Obama that even hints at approval or a smile or anything of the sort that would give you the slightest impression that they wouldn't rather be somewhere else. That is disapproval in the extreme. Those men were placed there like freakin ornaments and they know it.



Now for the persepective. This is September 3, 2007, after these men and women have been pouring out blood, sweat and tears, and dodging bullets for America for over 4 years, separated from their wives, husbands, children, friends and other family. See and hear any difference ?



H/T - USA ADMIRAL

Explanation: The men and women in the George Bush video knew that George Bush would NOT let their sacrifice or the sacrifice of their friends and comrades in arms ever be in vain while he was their leader. He wouldn't let the Dems in congress screw them over either. They knew that they were there for victory and nothing less. Victory would be the only acceptable outcome. Victory did come via Gen Petreaus and the COIN strategy in Iraq.

Supporting the Troops means supporting the mission, because the mission is why they sacrifice, and why their families sacrifice. You can't do something like this if you're not committed to the mission and well over 80% were. How do I now this. Because 86% of the National Guard Troops who were the first on scene on 2003 and screwed over by not being allowed to return on schedule, and in fact left in place far longer than anticipated Supported George Bush After they returned.

Yes, mistakes were made, but this is a far cry from a pretend Commander in Chief who can't even make up his fucking mind while Their comrades in arms are being over-run and killed in Afghanistan. They know Obama is playing politics with their lives and the lives of their friends, some of which have already been lost. That's what the look on their faces tell you. They know their fate is now in the hands of those Democrat Bastards like Kerry, Murtha, Obama, Reid and the rest of them who cried that Iraq was lost and did little more than try to ensure defeat in Iraq, and worst of all give 24/7 aid and comfort to the enemy with their pathetic rhetoric for more than 5 years.

Isn't it Beautiful ?

Latest Piece of Obvious Proof the Health Care Plan is Nonsense

They plan to cut 500 Billion out of Medicare to reduce the costs of government health non-care.

To say nothing at all about the 'baby boomer' stampede into Medicare over the next 20 years or so, how can you cut 500 BILLION and say you haven't cut services ?

Supply and Demand are 2 of the 4 basic things anyone needs to know about life. In this case, supply is being cut while demand is increasing.

I mean, is there even something in the animal world who would buy that piece of shit ?

Liberal Factoid # 17

Folks, Liberals are not paying attention. They voted for the Democrats and Obama and the whole shooting match is off the radar now. They're out having sex, doing drugs, and listening to rock and roll.

I'm serious. The vast majority of them have not even heard of cap and trade. I talk to them all the time. If they happen to be in front of a TV and some 'news' is on maybe they'll watch 5 minutes of it, but it's not their thing, not something they are interested in.

In the last election they put their 2-3-4 weeks of effort into picking the right candidate by listening to a debate or two and the candidates commercials and as a result they voted for Obama. The next election, they will spend 2-3-4 weeks listening to some debates, commercials, and that is More than enough due diligence for them. Overkill for sure.

Unless they're being squeezed like walnuts in the jaws of a squirrel, Obama will have done a good job and needs 4 more years to tackle these big issues like getting cars to run on air and spit Valium out the exhaust.

The ones who are paying attention and staying engaged are simply ignorant. They think government should make life fair for everyone. As in government health care. When you ask them who is going to pay for it they say the government. When you ask them where the government gets its money, they aren't really sure. They know taxes fit in there somehow, but they have these ill-defined images of printing money, or borrowing money that will never have to be paid back, and who knows what else pops out from short circuited synapses...

They either have no idea, or they don't care. And they sure as hell don't see anything wrong with socialism or Marxism. Progressive can be directly translated to communism today. Maybe it always could.

Make The Call Obama !

This is a video shot shortly after Obama entered the Oval Office as the President of the United States, and more specifically, the Commander in Chief.

The author is James Hanson. James Hanson is introduced on the Blackfive site as a contributing author as follows:

Retired Special Operations Master Sergeant, Jim Hanson ("Uncle Jimbo") is now focused on writing about the military, politics, intelligence operations and foreign policy.


I watched this video when it was posted and thought it was right on. I watch it now, and its prescience is obvious and strong.

Well, Why Not.

Back from a time when singers were expected to be great vocalists. I sure miss the talent.

Nope

Best Wishes to the Atkins Family and Friends.

Leona Atkins, the 85-year-old widow of Chet Atkins died Wednesday (Oct. 21) at her home in Nashville. The soon-to-be-legendary guitar player met Leona Johnson in the mid-1940s when she was performing with her sister on the Boone County Jamboree at radio station WLW in Cincinnati. He married her in 1946. Chet Atkins was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973 and died in 2001. Mrs. Atkins is survived by a daughter, Merle Atkins Russell.

From Here

Peace be With You.

I can't think of a better tribute:



Chet was and is known as Mister Guitar.

Fox News Not Playing Fair ?

Is it a shock that one of the Obama administration admits using the 'news' like a willing slave during the campaign ?

Which has the added bonus of her saying one of her two favorite 'political philosophers' is none other that Mao Tse-Tung, who is responsible for killing tens of millions of Chinese. I believe the other was Mother Teresa.

They beat the piss out of GW Bush for 8 years, who said nothing other than 'Free Speech'.

You've got a few talk radio people and one news organization which seems to be trying to report to the people about the government, and Obama cries over them like a Baby.

Like a little Baby. Or an evil Fascist - take your pick.

And the mental midgets cheer them on.

PS - We've got children dying all over the place from Mexican (swine/H1N1) Flu and where in the hell is the vaccine ? And where in the hell are the 'news' people demanding answers about why the vaccine isn't ready yet for something that's been known about in plenty of time to have it ready. Yea, I know we're talking about "Mr Hit The Ground Running", which given the asshole's track record means the exact opposite.

To add to the injury and mental agony, 'They' want the same assholes who are so incompetent as to not have the vaccine ready for flu season to be in charge of health care.

It's beyond words my friends.

This Tune Seems to Channel the Suspense of Current Events

Our Way of Life in America Requires Participation and Cooperation

When people stop participating, neighborhoods go to hell, innovation goes to some other shore, (people with big screen TV's move out of California.... :)) and the contributors are simply outweighed and overwhelmed by the takers.

People stop worrying about paying loans back.

This has been the major movement in America the last decade or two, driven by community organizers, organizations with names like ACORN and others, and it's really picking up steam in my opinion.

I read a news article couple years back. Someone at a Kmart was offered a 4,000 instant credit card through an error in Kmart's credit system. She called her friends who called their friends with the message that 'KMart was giving free money away".
Opportunists went to other KMarts and acquired credit applications to sell to the hordes that showed up to get their free 4,000 instant credit. Not a one of them had the slightest intention of paying back a cent. Violence ensued in the KMart parking lot and afterwards earrings, still attached to ear parts, were found in the parking lot where they fought over remaining credit application forms.

True.

That image came to me as the mortgage meltdown came to pass, and I could hear people screaming in my imagination that "Countrywide is Giving Free Houses Away" thousands or perhaps millions of times across the American landscape. Encouraged by the Democrats I add, such as Bubba Clinton threatening to sue Fannie and Freddie if they didn't provide loans to under-qualified borrowers.

We're screwed folks. There isn't enough participation left. The rest of us will buckle under the load and that will be that.

Anyway, along this line is a truly excellent offering from Bill Whittle of Eject Eject Eject Here that he wrote not too long after the Katrina disaster called Tribes. It is well worth a read.

California proposes Banning Big Screen TV's

You gotta believe every productive member of California society has a big screen TV. They are going to chase every productive member of society out of California.

Which I have to believe is their intention.

It may even be the test case for America. Well, it is - but it may be intentional as opposed to a simple overflow of shit for brains from the California Legislature.



California! You Suck !

I Thought Cap and Tax Was All About Taxes

But now I believe it is all about seriously reducing America's consumption. Collecting money as well is just a bonus that will tickle their funny bones at DC cocktail parties.

By squeezing, pinching, and taxing America's natural resources to the point that consumption is highly constrained. And it will be. I've seen this in action in the UK when I lived there in 1990. People would rush out of their houses with a bucket of soapy water and soap down their cars when it rained so as to save the piddly amount of water it would take to rinse the car. I'm not kidding you.

I'm not sure why this is their goal, but given Oblama's apology tour, it could very well be that they take seriously, all these 3rd world countries who whine about America's consumption of resources and they wish to appease them. (There are at least a couple words in there that we commonly associate with Democrats)

I'm telling you, they will not be happy until we are living in a hell hole created by the vice-like constraint of resources. It won't apply to them or course. It never does. Al Gore will still have his 10,000 sq ft mansion in Tennessee and fly every freakin where he goes.

How else can you explain: No drilling, No expansion of Coal, No Nukes! No Nukes! and worst of all, No major move to the use of Natural Gas when recent technological breakthroughs have made it so the entire world could be powered by the Natural Gas reserves that are known today for the next 120 years.

I mean, it's insane right ? We could literally tell the ME to "GFY and keep all your oil" in about 10 years by moving all mass transit to UNG.

Well, no they're not that stupid. Which means they are doing it intentionally. And yes, the whole global climate razzmatazz was made up entirely to use as one of the main thrusts towards curtailing resources.

I just hope there aren't that many Americans who will stand for that crap.

The battle lines are drawn and they know it. It's why they want their new domestic army of zombies.

You All Have My Robust Support to Ignore the Experts.

You know those Experts who 'say' or those Experts who 'agree' or those Experts who 'predict' that we see mentioned in 'news' articles every other 5 minutes.

Who are the Experts anyway? Many times they are lifetime students who never had to work an honest day in their lives or have ever been exposed to the reality of how stuff works in the real world.

In short, they sit around like school children, dreaming of what the world Should Be, using their worthless acadamian credentials to waste people's time with worthless crap ideas like 'Ridding the World of Nukes' at a time in the world's history that nukes might actually come in handy against suicidal religiously obsessed maniacs with massive amounts of oil and drug money at their disposal.

To the experts - Get a freakin life and STFU.

Don't Read The Freakin Bill !

Reading the Health Care Bill is like being a little bit pregnant.

Reading the Freakin Health Care Bill is like sleeping at a Vampires House with the Caveat that You Have to be outta there by 6 am latest.

Reading the Health Care Bill is like only using 2 inch nails in the nail gun you apply to your forehead and pull the trigger with wild abandon.

Reading the Health Care Bill is like Only Eating a Half Box of Rat Poison !

Reading the Health Care Bill is like saying Barney Frank can be rehabilitated.

Reading the Health Care Bill is like saying Rich Simmons is only a little bit gay.

Reading the Health Care Bill is a Colossal Waste of Time.

The First in At Least One Video From Our Orphan Kitten Fostering Days

Grey Goose came to us with two brothers who became known as Big Bear and Little Bear - both solid black short hair cats with white spots on their lower belly. They were the 2nd set of kittens we were fostering. The first two kttens were born to a feral mother who we took in to socialize as well as provide a place to give birth outside the shelter and she gave birth the 2nd day at the house.

She took on these three new ones as her own, but to relieve the stress on her, we helped by bottle feeding them and helping out with the 'bathroom duties'. Kittens cannot do anything by themselves the first few weeks, and the mom initiates them either defecating or urinating by licking them on their genitals. You can simulate this by taking a warm wet paper towel and rubbing them there. The mom actually consumes the waste or spits it out into the litter box. I was never around when one of the moms actually did it.

Anyway, Grey Goose was the most laid back kitten and cat that we'd ever had at the house. One day, in one of the bedrooms where we took care of these dudes, Goose came in and I gave him a shot at a starting role. After a minute, he totally freaked out and turned into Bruce Lee.


Nancy Pelosi's Brain

The following is the complete soundtrack of the 'active' regions of what is left of Nancy Pelosi's 'brain'.
The track starts off a little boring, probably as she remembers the robustness of her college days (you'll need some volume to even hear this part), then gets a little repetitive in the middle sections as you might imagine.
There is a real treat at the end though. Kinda.

Today's WTF-O-Meter Reading

Introducing Capn' Springfield, Guest Blogger

In the post below.

A True American. A Sheepdog. I'll let him provide further information if he chooses.

Enjoy All.

Another Beautiful Weekend...

My wife and I have been spending the last month at my parents house as we prepare to move into our new home. While the family is fantastic, it has been quite interesting for two newly weds to embarq on such a stay. It has given us ample time to step back and observe everything that has been going on, and to actually delve further into the minutia.

So let's see where to start.

The Russian and Chinese Governments spent $4 Billion this week to prop up the dollar so that they may maintain some sort of exports to the US.

Iran is buying gold like it is going out of style, anticipating more sanctions.

The Royal Bank of Australia raised their interest rate a quarter of a percent in anticipation of inflation.

$1.00 US = $1.04 CAN.... ???

Gold hits all time high (before pulling back ever so slightly because of the $4 Billion purchase mentioned earlier) of $1,063/ounce.

Chairman Bernanke says we are going to keep printing money for a while...

Our President is trying to turn Afghanistan into a police action... hummm, I have heard that term before.

Health Care will increase taxes on everybody- except for those who don't pay taxes anyway (Tim Geithner).

Second Stimulus is being pushed by the democrats- wait, how did the first one work out? I thought we were to be below 8% unemployment? Now almost 15 million people out of work.

Have you ever googled the newspaper headlines from the 1930's?
"Recession is Over", "Recovery is here", etc., etc, over and over for the entire decade. Sound familiar?

Sugar hits all time price high. California food production down 25% due to water being cut-off to farmers to save the smelt.

Dollar has lost 19% of its value in last 6 months.

Obama wants to control the internet, blogging, financial industry/regulation, health care, and demise of the dollar- but was given a Nobel Peace Prize for internation diplomacy.

The IMF now gets to help regulate our Financial Industry.


Yada, yada, yada.

Does anyone else notice any certain trends here?

While many of us sit here this weekend, we are oblivious to what is actually happenning right under our feet or over our heads. The devaluing of our dollar has gone to new lows, and the "Post recession Inflation" has not even started yet. Sadly, it will not be until a Happy Meal at McDonald's is $35.00 that the mainstream will realize what is going on.

So, another beautiful weekend... enjoying a Value Meal at $6.99... (How long ago was it $5 or even $4?) Ahhh progress...

I Believe and I've Never Before Sent a Candidate a Dime.

We need to weed the Socialists out one by one. If you didn't know, here is one who can take the place of someone on the dark side. Matt Burden who authors the Blackfive milblog, along with other very serious current and former members of America's Finest has decided to run for Congressional Office out of Chicago LINK

I've been reading Blackfive for years now and they do our Military a fine service. Also check out their Warrior Legacy Foundation, dedicated to working for the benefit of the military members current and former.

"Former Paratrooper and Army Officer, Matthew "Blackfive" Burden started this blog upon learning of the valorous sacrifice of a friend that was not reported by the journalist whose life he saved."

I believe Matt will fight for America. And if we had One Matt versus one of the Dems, it's like a +1, minus 3 :)

Update: Make that a Plus 3, minus 1.

I'm Hoping

To have This to Say to some Democrats come November 2010.

Knights in White Satin. Heroes who gave all, lying in White Satin.




Update: If you look up the lyrics, the chorus is "I Love You", but it sure sounds to me like they are singing "I love You All" - which would make a lot more sense as well.
