Just Say No to California
The weak feeding on the strong. That's the socialism we all know and love.
And don't ya just love how it's always essential services which must be cut. I'm beginning to wonder if England was this bad when the pilgrims broke free.

The Islamic Threat
Terrorism is misdirection.
Their main weapons are not explosives. History proves that mankind and any culture can withstand carpet bombing.
Their main weapons are political correctness and anti-racial profiling.
They must be in agony from splitting their sides open laughing at our idiocy of stealing some 5 year old kids playdoh as he goes through airport security. I could go on all day with these kinds of idiotic stories. As well as the total dysfuntionality of the current administration's ability to deal with the reality of the threat.
They don't need cartoons. Just play clips of Biden, Napilatano, Holder, Clinton, Timmy Giethner, Pelosi, Reid. On and on.
The problem is not Israel. Again misdirection. Remove Israel and nothing changes regards their obsession for worldwide sharia law. It's In The Koran ! The Koran say Nothing about it being dependent on an 'Israel'.
The way to fight them is for a unified voice to tell them to assimilate into the cultures of where they want to live, like John Howard Did when he was PM of Australia.
Note: A search of this subject will include sites such as snopes and hoax slayer down playing it - to say the least. Note however, this article appears in Australia's main media outlet, the Sydney Morning Herald. The hands of Islamic propaganda reach far.
The Muslims cannot assimilate. It's against their Religion !
Why is there a CAIR organization - Council for American Islamic Relations. Is there one for Japanese Relations? German? Icelandic? Russian? Hungarian? Mexican?? Chinese?
The people who came here from China after WWII didn't ask for anything. They were pleased beyond their dreams of having the opportunity to prosper in the free United States where anyone can achieve their dream. No, their first order of business was to learn to speak English. Imagine how hard that is. In contrast, most Muslims already know how to speak English when they get here. They don't need anything from us.
The CAIR organization needs to be dis-recognized. The American government needs to say what John Howard and Mr Costello did - that the Muslims desiring to practice sharia law need to move to a country willing to allow it. At the least.
It's not going to happen with this administration. This is very dangerous. The state run media has only begun to squeak out information about the Islamic threat. People know nothing of it. They think it's just like any other migration of a people. It is not. Therefore, most people go around in some frontal lobotimized state of blind acceptance, worrying about offending a Muslim and being accepting of having anything stuffed down the throat of the American culture; a cluture which they have not learned to appreciate because the liberal education system has told them Little to Nothing About It !
With all the education the president supposedly had, he did not know how many states there are.
I'll just stop here.

Afghanistan. Pakistan.
And there are other states. But these two stand out, because over time someone has always wanted to tame the kitty there. England, Russia, Lately the United States.
And they are in the news everyday.
Forget it.
The only thing that makes them "Countries "is the fact that someone drew some squiggly lines on a map and printed the words Pakistan and Afghanistan inside the lines.
They are no more "countries" than obama is qualified to manage a McDonalds.
The religion of peace people kill each other all the time because of the slightest variation in their Islamic translations....
They are a collection of people not dissimilar to the American Indian tribes that warred with each other long before people who thought belts belonged on their hats instead of their waist showed up. America was not a country, it was a collection of tribes, until those anal retentive English showed up, obsessed with drawing lines all over the friggin place, having the local, super local, and super duper government entities that plague us today. (Well, there are some benefits as well, such as National Defense, and ...... guess that's about it.)
Anyway, this is why no one has been, or ever will be, successful at 'taming' Pakistan or Afghanistan or any similar country. This is the classic example of trying to Herd Cats. Tell them not to catch birds. Tell them to move along certain lines. Tell them to quit pouncing on each other. Tell them to govern themselves - and with enough treats they might actually do it for a little while. But they'll revert back to their instincts at every opportunity and most certainly after you're gone, so it's all a waste of time in the end unless someone wants to take over the country like the English did with America. Forgeddabouddit!!!
So, liberal blowhards can postulate all they want about the latest plan du jour for Israeli peace, or countrywide Afghanistan self governance rule, and it's all Naive hot air. Cold air in their case. This crap will be going on long after your great great great great niece gets married.
Personally, over time, history tells us that constant conflict, even with our Outstanding laser and GPS guided munitions as well as our Outstaning targeting intelligence, will result in the deaths of some number of 'innocents'. Therefore, I propose instead that we simply let Afghanistan and Pakistan (and all the Dirkistans) go their merry way, building up their forces, training camps, and weapons capabilities to the point they become noticeable, at which time we will send a sufficient number of B52's and support aircraft over and bomb all that crap back to the stone age and sit back and watch for another 15-20 years as they try to put it all back together.
We'd kill less 'innocents' that way, and we'd sure make it easier on the finest people who live in America - Marines, Navy, Army, Air Force, National Guard, and all the Contractors and anyone I may have missed over there helping.
Hey, did you know the charges against the Blackwater guys, regards Iraq have all been dropped? No, didn't think so.

I Sure Miss Ronald Reagan
In fact, I'm actually glad I wasn't paying attention in the 80's. I'd be incredibly heart-broken that Ronald Reagan is gone. As it is, I miss what I know was reality, but that now is probably lost for countless decades.
"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it." -Ronald Reagan
“Here's my strategy on the Cold War:
We win, they lose.”
- Ronald Reagan
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”-Ronald Reagan
“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so.”
-Ronald Reagan
“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.”- Ronald Reagan
“I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.” -Ronald Reagan
“The taxpayer: That's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.”- Ronald Reagan
“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”- Ronald Reagan
“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.” - Ronald Reagan
“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”- Ronald Reagan
“Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it”
- Ronald Reagan
“Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.”- Ronald Reagan
“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.”- Ronald Reagan
“If we ever forget that we're one nation under GOD, then we will be a nation gone under.”-Ronald Reagan

Socialism, It's All the Rage !
Everyone looks to the 'The Europeans for the latest in [pick a subject]. Right? Well, American marketing firms and kids or idiots who buy into such claptrap anyway.
The Europeans don't have the latest in anything. I lived in England in 1990 for a year, and it was like living in America in 1950, at best. I was on assignment there, and on expenses as a result. We rented a house, had a hell of a time finding one that came furnished. And that was a big problem, because no one rented furniture there at the time.
But they did rent appliances. We rented a state of the art washer and dryer. You were lucky if you could get five shirts in the thing at a time. I kid you not. Al Whore must have had a hand in the design process. Lighting was by way of a wire hanging from the ceiling with a light bulb at the end and you could find all manner of fashionable shades to install above the light bulb so it was obvious this was the norm and not the exception. This house was new 3 years before we rented it and the owner was in the military and deployed. There was a TV tax, and 4 TV stations. Movies were 6 months behind the USA. The bulk of TV shows were copycatted from the USA. Storylines and all. The food is horrid unless you go to a place that has another style of food, like Italian, American, etc. We paid 18 bucks for a medium size Pizza with the exchange rate. Puleeease...
Though England is a beautiful place and the people are the very Best and some of the Brightest. Not to mention everyone there is Expert at driving a car. Seriously, what a pleasure it was to drive there, even if it is on the wrong side.
Anyway, let's take France because it truly is socialized and because liberals think the French are so far ahead of everyone else. Let's break it down.
Cons:
Most French speak at least two languages, Francias and English. They have to. A lot of their day to day living income for individuals comes from tourism. Here is the breakdown of their industry
Note Machinery is listed as their top industry by value of annual output. Anyone know of any French machinery used to any degree in the United States? I don't and I've worked in and been around a lot of manufacturing, and as a consultant and such, in many more industries. I can't imagine the value of that output compares with any country doing significant output, such as Germany, United States, China, and elsewhere. Next on their list is Chemicals and Automobiles. When was the last time you saw anyone driving a Peugeot. I suspect they sell of lot of them locally because the hordes of Muslim gangs living in France trash 100 cars a week by fire. Yep, not just during 'the riots' the state run media told you about, 100 a week, every week, all year long.
Let's get to the meat of it. When was the last time a product like the Ipod, Iphone, or Personal Computer came out of France. Nope... Memory Chips, Keyboards, Mice, Application Software, Gaming Software, or Anything to do with the largest industry in the world starting in the late 90's ?? Nope. How about Business Software ? Nope, SAP is German. How about clothing ? I've never seen French made clothing on the rack at any store I've been to. Maybe some $6,000 "French Original" dresses that they sell to idiots with way too much money on their hands. Let's open it up. How about Anything used by the human race in volume ??? Nope.
How about Aircraft. That's supposedly their 5th largest industry by value of output. Well, they are heavily involved in Airbus. We'll see how that goes. So far, the Airbus that came down in Queens had its tail fall off, and the one that went down in the southern ocean somewhere very likely had its tail fall off. The Concorde was a beautiful aircraft. Across the ocean in 3 hours. Tragic victim to a piece of metal that fell off of a McDonnell Douglass aircraft on to the runway at Charles De Gaulle airport just prior to the Concorde's take off. Very tragic. In fact, it was an American passenger airplane McDonnell Douglas DC-10 (flight of Continental Airlines) lost a titanium part during a takeoff. (excerpted from Wikipedia) . The DC10 was Still freaking killing people.
But One Crash in its history to that point in a totally freak accident and they ban the plane from the sky, after the fuel tanks are modified to be like the Indy500 car tanks that can hit a wall at 240 mph and not break open... Why?
After all, how many DC10's came down because their freakin engines fell off, or the absurd cables that operated the flaps for take off and landing - The most crucial and dangerous portion of a flight! - were breaking like toys. Did they ban the DC10 ? No! There might be some flying today ! One brought down the Concorde!
So, it would seem the Concorde was 'allowed' to be banned because it couldn't make money. Beautiful Aircraft, Incredible Service to Mankind, and Out the Window. Socialism has something to do with events like these.
How about Health Care ? My liberal friends like to remind me that in France, doctors make house calls, and I immediately ask them what a doctor can do on a freakin house call? Certainly not help you with any serious illness, cancer, knee replacement, or anything else that doesn't come out of a little black bag. I suspect the doctors do house calls to hold your hand, sympathize with your pain and give you some more pain pills to get by on until you and your low quality life finally freakin expire.
When you punish innovators by taking the fruits of their labor, Innovation goes the way of the DODO bird. Liberals need to write that on a blackboard 1,000 times, then read what they wrote.
Liberals think you can tax 'the rich' back to the stone age and they will just keep on like nothing happened. Why did most or all of the Beatles become American Citizens? I'll leave that as a riddle to any libs, who through some magical journey, have managed to get this far in the text. They must think anyone who has something had it easier than they did. Well, I was born a poor black child. I got a used transistor radio for Christmas when I was 12. No one ever gave me squat. I worked a hundred different jobs and propelled myself into the business world, working nonstop, like a Polaris missile. And it still isn't easy. Life is a river, if you're not rowing, you are being swept downstream.
Pros:
I guess France is good with Nuclear power. It supplies 90% of their electrical needs. Well, when you get down to it, Nuke plants don't make for a better standard of living, they simply keep the lights on. Not that big a trick in 2009.
Summary:
Socialism Sucks. Equality Sucks. Equality means everyone outside of the government elite and their friends gets to live in the vile stagnant pond of mediocrity, enjoying what the government decides to let them keep of their own labor. While uneducated morons like Nanna Pelosi fly Twice a Freakin Week to San Fan and back in a Boeing 757, deciding how hundreds of millions of them will live. !
Are you so cowardly and dependent that you can go through life like that? That you can accept being the 'subject' of such morons ?!? One can only assume living like that is a step up for a liberal, or more likely that they simply have no idea what's coming, because they live in a freakin fantasy world like the women driving down the freeway at 65 mph, texting on their cell, and the car better well drive itself because this text is Important !!
Maybe if Liberals actually had some "fruits of their own labor", they'd be inspired to question why they should surrender them. As it is, it would seem most liberals either get their money for nothing and their chicks for free, or they don't have anything, and instead of working to get it, they choose to spend twice as much effort stealing it from others.

Here's a Great Party Game - Dictionary
Without further ado.
The game starts and the starting person has a dictionary in front of them.
That person looks up a word that everyone in unfamiliar with. For example "Kincob" - An East Indian fabric of silk containing threads of Gold and or Silver.
They ask if anyone knows the word and as it happens, no one does.
At this point the person with the dictionary writes on a sheet of paper the definition of the word, or some portion of the definition so as to clearly define the word, but not so much that it sounds like it obviously came right from the dictionary. (You'll soon see why)
Everyone else makes up a definition for the word and writes it on a sheet of paper. The aim for these folks is to try to come up with something that is believable because they want to the other players to think their definition is the right one. (You'll soon see why).
The person with the dictionary, that knows the true definition, collects the sheets of paper from the other players and numbers each one. 1 thru 6 if there are 6 players for example.
That person then reads each of the definitions along with the corresponding number. ie. "One. A cob of corn that came from a Kin field". "Two. A large pot for cooking fish. Three. A democrat."....
(It is helpful that the person with the dictionary that will be reading the submissions be familiar with them so that they can read them easily and that they won't be surprised by someones lack of creativity or over creativity and LOL, which would give away the fact that this submission is definitely not the right definition)
At this point, the players can ask to have the submissions re-read as many times as necessary or maybe re-read an individual submission. "Hey, Read # 2 and # 5 again"
In a reasonable amount of time, the players decide which of the definitions is the correct one and place their bet. ie. "I think it's # 3".
(The person with the dictionary does not participate in this portion of the game since they know the true definition as well, as everyone's entries)
Scoring:
After all players have made their bet, the person with the dictionary reads through the submissions starting with # 1 thru the last. As each one is read, they state whether it was the true definition or not and if any (and how many persons) guessed that this entry was the true definition. "Gee, two people thought it was a pot for cooking fish."
If 1 person for example guessed that # 3 was the true definition:
-The person who submitted # 3 would receive 5 points. If two guessed # 3, then 10 points. 5 points for each player who picks their definition.
The exception would be that is # 3 was the true definition, then the person who guessed # 3 would receive 10 points since they guessed the true definition and the person who wrote # 3 receives nothing. (That person is the person holding the dictionary and cannot receive points.)
The dictionary is then passed either right or left to the next person and consequently around the table. (Conservatives don't give a damn of right or left, just pass it)
The person who currently holds the dictionary has no opportunity to score points since they know the true definition and hold the submissions of the other players.
I know it sounds a little complicated but after 2 or 3 people are passed the dictionary, everyone gets the hang of it quickly.
Takes a while to play, but it is a lot of fun. Decide for yourselves how to define a winner. Highest score after 2 or three trips around the table? First to reach 30 points? Up to you.
The game starts and the starting person has a dictionary in front of them.
That person looks up a word that everyone in unfamiliar with. For example "Kincob" - An East Indian fabric of silk containing threads of Gold and or Silver.
They ask if anyone knows the word and as it happens, no one does.
At this point the person with the dictionary writes on a sheet of paper the definition of the word, or some portion of the definition so as to clearly define the word, but not so much that it sounds like it obviously came right from the dictionary. (You'll soon see why)
Everyone else makes up a definition for the word and writes it on a sheet of paper. The aim for these folks is to try to come up with something that is believable because they want to the other players to think their definition is the right one. (You'll soon see why).
The person with the dictionary, that knows the true definition, collects the sheets of paper from the other players and numbers each one. 1 thru 6 if there are 6 players for example.
That person then reads each of the definitions along with the corresponding number. ie. "One. A cob of corn that came from a Kin field". "Two. A large pot for cooking fish. Three. A democrat."....
(It is helpful that the person with the dictionary that will be reading the submissions be familiar with them so that they can read them easily and that they won't be surprised by someones lack of creativity or over creativity and LOL, which would give away the fact that this submission is definitely not the right definition)
At this point, the players can ask to have the submissions re-read as many times as necessary or maybe re-read an individual submission. "Hey, Read # 2 and # 5 again"
In a reasonable amount of time, the players decide which of the definitions is the correct one and place their bet. ie. "I think it's # 3".
(The person with the dictionary does not participate in this portion of the game since they know the true definition as well, as everyone's entries)
Scoring:
After all players have made their bet, the person with the dictionary reads through the submissions starting with # 1 thru the last. As each one is read, they state whether it was the true definition or not and if any (and how many persons) guessed that this entry was the true definition. "Gee, two people thought it was a pot for cooking fish."
If 1 person for example guessed that # 3 was the true definition:
-The person who submitted # 3 would receive 5 points. If two guessed # 3, then 10 points. 5 points for each player who picks their definition.
The exception would be that is # 3 was the true definition, then the person who guessed # 3 would receive 10 points since they guessed the true definition and the person who wrote # 3 receives nothing. (That person is the person holding the dictionary and cannot receive points.)
The dictionary is then passed either right or left to the next person and consequently around the table. (Conservatives don't give a damn of right or left, just pass it)
