9/11/2025

 Smash cut to over a decade later. 

We've come a lonnnnggg wat since my last post. In the years past, I would always come back for 9/11. Usually to express my continuing anger about 9/11. But my anger waned. 9/11 was still a somber day, but posting here fell away. This year was no different, 9/11 has more questions, but coming back here wasn't gonna happen. The last couple weeks has changed things, me. The way 9/11 changed me 24 years ago.

Trump's first election revitalized America and things were skyrocketing. The china virus was released on the world and the high came crashing down. Trump warned what would happen if he wasn't reelected and he was right. The stolen 2020 election cost us gravely. The plandemic stole away a generation of the youth. It was the biggest wealth transfer in world history. It was manufactured to test how far the people would let things go under the guise of health & safety. The flooding of 20 million illegal immigrants, to purposely overwhelm the system and pack our cities with crime and poverty. All to install a new voter base for a flailing, failing democrat party. 

Trump's reelection, returned some sanity. But the damage is done. Over a decade of leftist ideologies, drugging the kids and filling them with the alphabet propaganda. The radical 25% controlling the entire narrative, via news, social media, mega corporations , along with lower and higher learning. We are left with a society that celebrate when a man (a husband, father, who wouldn't hurt a fly) is murdered, because he dared exercise his First Amendment via conversation. That conversation should be had, needs to be had. Charlie Kirk often said when the talking stops, the violence starts. Using violence to stop the talking is the epitome of evil. 

The senseless murder or Iryna Zarutska, had already created a stir in the rhetoric. Watching her slaughtered by a 14 time loser, who had no business being among the public, with no media coverage, not some, none. They tried to sweep it under the rug. Along with poor Decara Thompson, who was slaughtered by an illegal alien, who had no business being in our country. These are a few of the countless events that have happened in just the last year. 

9/11/01 was a wake up call to the dangers of terrorism, 91/11/25 is a wake up call to the home grown radical left. While their ideologies are based in marxism, they're beyond that. They've created this mythical world where alphabet people, minorities and illegal aliens are somehow the ruling class and if you oppose them in any way, you are to be cancelled, lose your livelihood or your life all together. There is no middle ground. No room for decent or even conversation. We are being terrorized by our own countrymen. 

When you watch the videos, of Iryna and Charlie in their final moments, the blood is the most startling thing. It's the deep red, lifeblood, that you know when you see it, there is no coming back. If others see that and can still celebrate, laugh, or not care at all, those people are damaged. Possibly beyond repair. No amount of pleading, or reasoning will connect with them. They have been corrupted, call it evil, demonic, or mentally deranged, we have a problem. Solving the problem is not going to be easy, it's not going to happen overnight, I don't even know where to start. What I do know is we cannot coexist, like the stupid bumper sticker they love so much says. They want us on our knees or dead. Charlie was the best of us, and they took him away. What's left might be the unimaginable...

I know I'm rambling and all over the place, but that's where I'm at right now. Worried, slightly confused, and angry. So, I'm not running this through AI to clean it up. I'm posting it just the way it is, because it's me.

Headlines

Here's a few headlines, and my opinion... of course.

Jay Carney resigns from White House... Sure the lying liar is gone, but the next guy will be just as bad if not worse. All press secretaries have to cover for their boss, but Tony Snow did it with class, Carney is just a yes man who will say anything he needs to, no matter how absurd, to protect the Anointed One.

Shinseki resigns as head of the VA... In this first Obama Admin to lose his job in the wake of a scandal (Fast and Furious, Benghazi, IRS targeting and many more, NO ONE has lost their job till now), the change will be minimal, this is a systemic problem and while Shinseki deserved his fate, actual reform in the VA is still far away.

Netanyahu says he is going to build in ALL of Jerusalem... Despite what anyone says, Jerusalem is a capital of a sovereign nation and no has the right to say whether they can build there or not. This wouldn't happen anywhere else on the planet.

And just for fun... Some terrorist blowing themselves up at a party.

Munich... Again!

There's no doubt about it, what happened in Geneva is in fact, a rerun of the biggest foreign policy faux pas of the 20th century. Should we really be surprised, it come form the most incompetent administration ever?

The Munich deal rested on the hilarious notion that Hitler would be happy with just the Rein-lands. This new deal builds on the equally hilarious idea that Iran will stop building nuclear weapons in order to ease the crippling sanctions on its people, like Iran ever cared about it's people? If you think Iran folded because the sanctions were working, I have a bridge to sell you in San Francisco, Tehran knew that Obama was weak and it would get the West off it's back by throwing him a bone. In this case, a really small bone with the full intention of us choking on it. We are left with only three options, regime change, a full bombing campaign that could lead to war or continuing to placate and being ok with Iran being a nuclear armed power in the world.

Liberals would tell you the sanctions are the only way to make Iran fall in line, because we all know how reasonable Iranians can be. Just ask the homosexuals... Wait Ahmadinejad said they didn't have any, or was it they were all hung? Waiting for the Mullahs to come to their senses and realize that partnering with America and the West will benefit them, will take a very, very long time. They would have to love their own people more than hate Jews and America.

The delusional administration would have you believe that this "freeze" is the needed first step in dismantling Iran's nuclear program, but freezes thaw and nothing in this joke of a deal stops Iran from firing back up and going right back to work. Also nothing in the deal addresses how Iran is weaponizing, their missile program is still going full speed ahead. For all that we gave them back the thing they needed the most, access to their bank account. Sounds like Netanyahu was right, "This is a very bad deal". We were told there were smart people making a smart deal. Sorry if I don't have faith in the genius of John "Flip-flop" "Threw my medals" "Incredibly small effort" Kerry. And don't give me this "the British like the deal" nonsense, hellooo... Chamberlain. Obama loves the deal, but hasn't Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria been enough proof that he may not be the most shrewd operator? The Russians like the deal... enough said.

The hard truth about this "freeze" is: A diplomatic deal that is not grounded in shared beliefs or a common moral sense of justice will absolutely fail. Iran doesn't want the same things we want, they don't share our values or our respect for life. These talks with Iran are fare too similar to the most spectacular failure in diplomatic history to leave any room for success.

Patriot's Day 2013

It's really hard to think about how much time has passed and how little has been done at Ground Zero. The first towers took 7 years to build, and somehow twelve years later the new ONE (stupid freedom tower) is not done yet. I look back at the footage from that day and am incensed by how much we (as a Country) have forgotten. Last year I mentioned religionofpeace.com  which is keeping a running count of all deaths, over twenty one thousand, related to islamic terror since 9/11/01.

Now with all the turmoil in Egypt, Libya and Syria, more than ever we need a reminder about who the enemy are. Let me be clear islamic terrorist come in all shapes and sizes, whether it be a single nut like the Ft. Hood massacre, a coordinated group like the 9/11 hijackers, a "political group like the muslame brotherhoods or the religious extremist that make up the entire govt of Iran, we have much to fear.

Syria for example is a civil war between different parties of the same nuts. Syrian president Basher Assad is an islamic nut who has been slaughtering his own people by the thousands, but the "rebels" who are trying to topple his govt are also islamic nuts who have relationships with al qieda and the mulame brotherhoods. Both sides curse America and Israel on a regular basis and we cannot support any of them. This civil war will have to play out and then we will have to deal with the victors.

I leave you with footage from 9/11/01, as a reminder that we have an enemy that hates us and until we are all dead or enslaved, will continue to fight us by any means. We have to keep fighting back, they will not be placated with gifts like the north korean yahoos, they have to stood up to and fought at all cost, AT ALL COST, I cant make that part clear enough.

Knowledge Bomb

Some info for the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington.



The KKK was the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party.

Our nation’s historians reveal that the Democratic Party gave us the Ku Klux Klan, Black Codes, Jim Crow Laws and other repressive legislation which resulted in the multitude of murders, lynchings, mutilations, and intimidations (of thousands of black and white Republicans).

Thaddeus Stevens, a Radical Republican that introduced legislation to give African Americans the so-called 40 acres and a mule and Democrats overwhelmingly voted against the bill.

During the Senate debates on the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, it was revealed that members of the Democratic Party formed many terrorist organizations like the Ku Klux Klan to murder and intimidate African Americans voters. The Ku Klux Klan Act was a bill introduced by a Republican Congress to stop Klan Activities.

History reveals that Democrats lynched, burned, mutilated and murdered thousands of blacks and completely destroyed entire towns and communities occupied by middle class Blacks, including Rosewood, Florida, the Greenwood District in Tulsa Oklahoma, and Wilmington, North Carolina to name a few.

History reveals that it was Abolitionists and Radical Republicans such as Henry L. Morehouse and General Oliver Howard that started many of the traditional Black colleges, while Democrats fought to keep them closed. Many of our traditional Black colleges are named after white Republicans.

After exclusively giving the Democrats their votes for the past 25 years, the average African American cannot point to one piece of civil rights legislation sponsored solely by the Democratic Party that was specifically designed to eradicate the unique problems that African Americans face today.

As of 2004, the Democrat Party (the oldest political party in America) has never elected a black man to the United States Senate, the Republicans have elected three.

Normal Or Not

Couple days ago NBA free agent Jason Collins came "out of the closet" in a SI column. The media erupted into a frenzy and even the President of the United States call him to "congratulate" him. Now I am not a basketball fan, so I am not going to comment on what kind of player he is, but I will point out some facts. He is 36 (which I am told is old'ish for a NBA player), he played for 6 teams over the last 12 years, and if you googled him before his announcement there would not have been anything fantastic. So my question is; Should we be celebrating or shrugging?

We are told that gays should be accepted as normal, just people in love and nothing more. So, when it comes to Jason Collins, my answer is; who cares? If we don't get into a frenzy when Steve Novak get's a new girlfriend (or wife, I don't know if he's married), why should we care about Jason Collins? Is it normal or not? If it's special or abnormal than the media frenzy would be understandable. Doesn't this all just seem silly?

There's one more thing that bothers me. People calling Collins "Courageous", where is the courage? Is his career as risk? Will he be hanged in the public square? I know the gay agenda crowd would want you to think that the US is filled with hate for gays and they are somehow at risk. Seems a bit of an overreaction. I am not saying there is no anti-homosexual crime, but we are FAR FAR from Iran.

Ultimately I wish Jason Collins a long and happy life, but I wish that for everyone, so is that normal or not?

There Can Be Only Dumb

I've been reading A LOT of dumb quotes from politicians lately. So I wanted to post a few of the most dumb over the last few years.

• "The affirmative task we have now, is to, um, create a new world order" -Joe Biden

• "We have to pass the bill, so we can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy" -Nancy Pelosi

• “Women — who make up nearly half of our nation’s workforce — face a pay gap that means they earn 23 percent less on average than men do. That disparity is even greater for African-American women and Latinas,” -Barack Obama (while still paying male WH staff more than female)

• "The fact is we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?" -Hillary Clinton

• "This is not about politics. This is about these families and families all across the country who are saying let’s make it a little harder for our kids to get gunned down." -Barack Obama (emphasis added by me)

• "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." -Barack Obama

And just to prove I'm not completely bias;

• "As president, I will create 12 million new jobs." -Mitt Romney (presidents don't do that)

• "... read my lips, no new taxes." -George H W Bush

• "We have a lot of work to do. It's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border." -John McCain (They don't share a border)

Sequestration Day 11

Well we're eleven days into Obama's sequestration. I thought I should document the horrors as they unfold.

• Just checked USAJobs.gov there are over 5,000 available jobs.

• Wait times at Los Angeles International Airport are topping out at 15 minutes.

• Wait times at the Border Crossings are mostly nil.

• Despite his previous assertions, Education Secretary Arne Duncan says teachers are not getting laid off because of budget cuts.

• Firemen are paid by the state, no federal dollars. No chance of job loss.

• Pretty sure medical science hasn't been pushed back by a generation. Just cured a baby of HIV.

• Obama said the Navy would have keep an aircraft carrier docked. But we're still pumping the stock market with $85,000,000,000 (that's $85 BILLION) a month via QE3. Pretty sure that would cover the daily running cost of the carrier; $1,400,000. 

• Obama also said 800,000 fed employees would have to take a pay cut. But if we took 5bil of QE3 and gave it to the navy. Then took the remaining 80BILLION and divided it to those employees they could each have an extra $100,000 A MONTH.

So he lied again. Big Surprise, Obama says horrible things that are gonna happen if we don't do something (usually raise taxes), just know it's a lie, every time. The federal govt is not there to take care of us. It does not need to spend more money than it takes in. It does not need to be pumping the stock market. It is OK to shrink the FedGov despite what Obama tells you!

Just Saying

• The same Bob Woodward that helped take down Nixon, was threatened by the Obama Admin and he still won't release the name of the person who threatened him. Trust me if Nixon had done it you would know.

• Speaking of state controlled media, Michelle Obama made a glaring mistake/lie during an ABC interview and they kindly edited it out. How nice of them. 

• Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison is INSANE...

• Now that we know the reports of the Gov. buying up tens of millions of rounds of ammo are false, it makes me happier, now I know it's the people causing the shortage. 

• Obama is really cranking up the scare tactics for this sequestration of his. I see it as a merging of Chicken Little and The Boy King Who Cried Wolf, with some Emperor's New Clothes thrown in.

• Adam Carolla has a great way to clear up Democrat statements, "Stupid or Liar". Like when Donna Brazile asked why her health care premiums have gone up. We all know it's Obamacare, so she's either stupid or a liar?

• So, Obama hat wearing anti-gun protester said she'd rather be murdered than use a gun in self defense. Stupid or Liar?

• This Gov. website for foodstamps says they make America stronger. Stupid of Liar?

• The Senate confirmed Chuck Hagel as SecDef. Proof that even the dumbest, lying, antisemitic, jack ass has a place in the Obama Amin.

• Wait John Kerry is already SecState, I guess we'll call them Dumb and Dumber. You decide which is which.

• Jeopardy had a whole category of "answers" called "A Binder Full of Women". Proof that you can't escape leftist politics anywhere.

• Last one. Today SecState Kerry said Iran has an "elected" govt. Stupid of Liar?

THIS!!!

They'll Never Learn

On Dec 22nd, New York's Journal News published online an article titled "Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?". The leftist rag decided that they would expose the names and addresses of registered permit holding gun owners. The Journal thought they were being slick, putting sunlight on those evil gun owners. But it was really a boost for criminals, in more ways than one. What will it take for the Journal News to learn? They won't, even after someone dies.

While it's common for Liberals to take advantage of tragedies like the shooting in Sandyhook CT. Deliberately putting people in danger is a new low. Foxnews interviewed a few ex-cons that said if they had a map like that it would have made their job much easier. To me it's pretty clear, one with crime on his mind might go to the unarmed homes at night, feeling safe that the owners won't have the ability to fight back. Then if one wanted to replenish their supply of stolen guns just needs to rob the homes with guns in the daytime when no one is home.

Along with every Tom, Dick and Sally whose names were published was Jeanine Pirro, Foxnews host and former judge on the Westchester County Court, now I am sure it is easily understood why a former judge needs both a weapon for protection and privacy of her home address. Watch this clip from the Judge's show with her reaction:


Here's where the real scary part starts, four weeks to the day that the Journal News article was published a home in White Plains was broken into, Newsday.com had the story;
"A White Plains residence pinpointed on a controversial handgun permit database was burglarized Saturday, and the burglars' target was the homeowner's gun safe. At least two burglars broke into a home on Davis Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Saturday but were unsuccessful in an attempt to open the safe, which contained legally owned weapons, according to a law enforcement source. One suspect was taken into custody, the source said".
Luckily the owner, who was in his 70's was not home at the time of the robbery. The brazen thieves brought a ladder and broke through a 2nd story window.

So the question is when will someone die because of the Journal News' irresponsibility and will they even care? I will answer that for you, yes someone will die and NO they don't care. You see the left only pretends to care about things, they claim this all for the safety of our children and look the other way while planned parenthood has a record year and aborts over a million babies. They claim to care about jobs and the poor while they continue to squash small businesses and add more to the list of foodstamp recipients that ever before. They tell you that you are not capable of defending your home and family with a gun, while they walk around with concealed carry permits and armed guards 24/7. Don't let the government run your life into the ground. Stand up for the Bill of Rights, don't let Obama trample the Constitution any longer. Exercise those rights, SPEAK UP, call your congressman and senators, vote and write a blog, we can't rely on the AssKissMedia to watch out for us. If you really want to stick your thumb in their eye, BUY A GUN! Take a safety course, join the NRA and add your name to the ranks of those will not be sheep led to the slaughter. Celebrate with us on Gun Appreciation Day!

More Guns = More Freedom

With renewed threats of sweeping gun control laws or even worse an outright ban (& confiscation) from the Obama Administration via executive order, again we need to take a look at guns in America and why we need them. Guns have played an important part in history, the way we know that guns are tools and not some kin of incarnate evil, because  more often than not they are used to help protect people and preserve our way of life. Even though the media would tell you different, it is simple to look back and see the benefit of having this particular tool. To put it more simply; Guns don't kill people, people kill people. 

The primary reason to own a firearm is the same reason you vote, exercising your rights. The Founding Fathers put together a simple yet highly effective document that lays out our way of life. The Constitution is 8 pages and the Amendments we have made since then might take up 2 more. We cherish the things that we have been given, by God (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness) and man (everything else). So how could it not be positive to exercise our 2nd right and be prepared for any action. "Amendment II - A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Now the well regulated militia spoken of here is essentially the military, there to protect the Union, from outside invaders. Then it goes on to say what the right of the people is. Now if you need to consider the two parts connected than I am part of a well regulated group the NRA. I don't think it's a requirement, but if it gives you some peace of mind, join up, it's inexpensive and provides both access to training and safety courses and it also provides some insurance in case the unthinkable happens.

Secondly, it's a safety issue.  Always remember, you don't call the police because they have pens, you call them because they have guns. Face it, the time where you could go to sleep at night with your front door open to catch a breeze is gone. The safety of you and your family should be one of your primary concerns, waiting 8 to 15 or more minutes for the police to show up with their guns is simply not acceptable. I'm not trying to scare you, but the facts are facts. In the year 2010 according to the FBI there was 417,403 robberies in the US, and 14.3% of them were home invasion. So at one robbery a minute, out of 100 minutes 14 of them were home invasion. Take a safety/training class, do your homework, figure out what is right for you and be ready. If you have children you have an even greater responsibility, not only to protect your kids from the world, but to teach them proper gun safety, allowing them to grow up and intelligently protect their family. Banning guns seems like a great plan, except crooks don't care about bans or laws. It's pretty much settled that we lost the war on drugs, because no matter how many laws you pass, the drugs will always be there. So what makes you think it will be any different with guns. Where I think legalizing drugs is just stupid, it seems to be the direction we are going. So we are to believe more access to drugs will mean less crime. You can't have it both ways.

Lastly, recreation. Guns are a great hobby. There's the physics, the skill required, and the opportunity to interact with supersonic objects (that loud bang is a sonic boom). Some people enjoy target shooting or trap shooting, others prefer hunting, and still others prefer collecting guns. Guns tend to retain their value and sometimes even gain value over time. Many people enjoy it all. Regardless of what you've been told by the media, there is a good chance a gun related hobby is right up your alley. I find it to be both exhilarating and relaxing. 

A Conversation About Guns

Couple days ago I had a long conversation on Facebook with a good friend who I respect, and appreciate her opinions. We had a disagreement about Guns and I thought it was interesting enough to put into a blog post. Names have been altered but the rest is verbatim. I am Jason S, and DL is my friend, with a few more people in between. Feel free to ad any comments below.

I'm completely fine with banning assault weapons. Why would anyone need a Semi-Automatic weapon for anything but carnage.

You're missing the point of the 2nd amendment, it's not just so we can hunt or shoot cans. It's to ensure freedom of the state from all oppressors, including (and I am NOT implying this) the federal govt. We are always supposed to have the ability to install a new govt in a time of crisis (again not implying), taking away "assault" weapons makes us a big step weaker. They won't stop there, as soon as assault weapons are gone they will come for something else

Next step is Hitler disarming the masses. Now I know that is a stretch, but the Jews in Germany thought the same thing in the 30s

I hear you DK, But the day that our country turns into Syria, I'm packing up and leaving. Our family has left country after country over the generations and its the reason why we are alive today. My machine gun is not going to be able to take on the entire country. This scenario is a hypothetical in any event. But what is real is our innocent citizens dying because too many power hungry psyco's are killing us without our ability to stop them, because the unnecessary speed of the weapons are the enemy. We should always sleep with one eye open, be aware of whats going on wherever you live, and leave if you must. I don't want to die a hero fighting a battle that I can not win. I'd rather live somewhere else. In the meantime we owe our loyalty to the country that we live in and the safety of its citizens from the thugs who are removing babies from their mommies and daddies arms.

Just remember those "Thugs" are already breaking the law, so therefore banning guns just takes them out of the hands of us the law abiding. I know it sounds counter productive, but more guns (for the law abiding) is the answer.

Jason S, The problem is that this weaponry is being sold as we speak to the crazies who don't display any criminal record until their first crime, which we sadly get to hear about all over the news once the tragedy has already taken place. Tighter controls are necessary. In this case the shooter's mother had purchased the three guns legally, but really was the semi-automatic that she had purchased going to be used by her to be prepared for a government uprising? I can't imagine that she was planning to be a commando or a resistance fighter. The guns are just to easily available and the immediate torture that it causes our society on a daily basis is too much for any society. We have some real triage to do in the present which IS effecting our lives in real time. The argument for a Hypothetical "resistance fight" is destroying our actual ability to live in the present.

From what I read she was an active shooter and enthusiast. She purchased the guns after her husband left her with kids in a big home. She went to ranges and practiced safe shooting. Now if you want to question her child raising fine, but her son killed her and stole her car and guns. He did NOT use the "automatic" weapon in the shooting, so with 2 handguns he did all that damage, so are we talking banning handguns now? Stricter screening and some kind of mental testing is something I am willing to hear more on, but as the sad incident in China proved if you want to cause mass carnage you will find a way. Restricting my ability to buy because someone might steal from me is not the answer.

Every parent has a good feeling about their children. We know when our kids are struggling with keeping up in a math class, let alone other more severe issues. Somehow these guns were not secured properly enough from a child at risk. I can't hold her without blame.

 We must NEVER surrender our Second Amendment rights. Our forefathers intended that the citizenry always be capable of defending our democracy should an oppressive form of government ever take power. Gun control has never worked - it simply leaves innocent citizens at the mercy of criminals who do not bother with legally obtaining firearms anyway. But crime is not the issue here - control of the population is. That is why dictatorial governments, whether they be fascist, communist or socialist always seek to disarm their own citizens as soon as they take power.

Let's get the "machine gun" word out of the vocab, they are long illegal in the US. A semi-automatic rifle like the AK-47 is an extreme, but I know people who own them and hunt with them. No one has ever said the word vigilante, that's your word. Also, the Constitution applies just as much now as it did then, give it a read, it's not evolving or growing. You're right we did amend the Constitution, with more freedom. The Freedom of speech and religion and the freedom to own guns for a purpose. So we have Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The challenge is not actually to the 2nd amendment right, it's to the right of what? How armed do we need to be. Do we need to have nuclear heads in our garages? Because that's what the government has? Obviously not. Therefore the question again is do we really need semi automatics easily in the hands of every Tom, Dick, or Harry in order not to be accused of violating our first amendment rights? Some control is necessary. The question is why does anyone need a semiautomatic, or ammunition clips that achieve a similar result.

There are many controls in place. Take California for example, the law states you can only have one 10 round magazine loaded at any given time. But last night a man managed to shoot 50 rounds at Fashion Island mall. So he either reloaded his 10 rounds 5 times or broke the law. You cannot legally purchase magazines in CA that hold more than 10 rounds. So what to we do, make more laws? Ban more guns?

DK, Israel is a completely different situation. For the most part nearly every citizen has been trained and served in the military. Their guns are issued in a "right of passage" sort of way with training and under observation all while united for a comon goal; survival under very difficult circumstances. Kids from the age of 16 or younger are already profiled for their positions in the military. That's two years before they even begin their training. It's truly apples and oranges. People like DK, should be armed, kids who's training are video games shouldn't.
Also Jason, Sadly those who survived the holocaust did so either by leaving or by simply making it long enough through concentration camp or hiding. Very few Partisans made it, certainly compared to the population, but no doubt that their courage served to mangle communications and disrupt even further mass destruction of our people.
At the end, I don't know if any minority would survive a population of people who wishes for its destruction. It wouldn't matter how many guns you had. You couldn't beat the military as a whole. It would just be a futile attempt to weaken it.
Most Jews I know will tell you of all the different countries their families were once from. It's another good reason to keep Israel strong as a place that welcomes Jews and has the arms to defend her people in a more meaningful way than all the machine guns anyone could stock pile.
But in the meantime, until any one of us are faced with any of these decisions, I prefer one rule of law then all the vigilantes who think themselves just in looking for their own way to settle a score. Everyman who has committed domestic violence has thought that his wife had it coming and deserved it. Thats just an anecdotal example I understand, but everyone has some sense of sick reason for picking up a weapon. Go to the jails and you will hear every one of those justifications/reasons/causes.
Again, I prefer one rule of law. Not the makings of every individual who seeks his own sense of justice.

CaliFAILia

California was voted “Worst Run State” for the second year in a row last week, by 24/7 Wall St.. Due to high levels of debt with no relief in sight, the our S&P credit rating is the worst in the nation, our Moody’s credit rating is the second-worst. Much of California’s fiscal woes involve the economic downturn along with completely incompetent leadership ( see Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, Villaragosa, etc.). Home prices plunged by 33.6%!!! between 2006 and 2011, of course that was spurred by Bill Clinton's housing bubble bursting after forcing banks to give out bad loans (called ninja loans- No Income, No Job or Assets). The state’s foreclosure rate and unemployment rate were the third and second-highest in the country, respectively. The space case Gov. "Moonbeam" Jerry Brown is claiming to be making efforts to get finances on track. Stuck on stupid state voters passed a ballot initiative to raise sales taxes as well as income taxes for people who make at least $250,000 a year but like Obama, Brown will not reduce spending and is still pushing the asinine "High Speed" rail project which is looking to waste $100,000,000,000 that's one hundred billion dollars if you get lost counting all the zeros. While median income is the 10th-highest in the country, we also have one of the highest tax burdens on income. According to the Tax Foundation, the state also has the third-worst business tax climate in the country, businesses are fleeing the state like rats off a sinking ship. Add to that illegals sucking $9 billion out of the pot every year and we have what will soon be a bankrupt state. 

Now I love California, there are moments when you are driving near the coast or looking up at the beautiful mountains, that you forget about the potholes, the traffic, the razor wire around the freeway signs, the weeds, the bums, the hippies, the filth, the bars on the windows and miles and miles of graffiti, where you remember what God put here and get that warm feeling. But then the mess comes flying back in your face and I realize, it's time to go. It's time to leave California like many of my friends have and look for cleaner (not greener) pastures. The problem is California is a vacuum, a trap that sucks you in and holds you. I don't have the money to make a move so I am forced to continue slogging through the sludge looking for the moments of sunlight, be that with friends or seeing it in nature. 

So my advice is RUN, run away from this beautiful nightmare. Pull a John Galt and let it fall into the 9th level of hell and when the filth has burned itself away and the cloud of smug has cleared maybe then we can go back and reclaim the beautiful freedom that was once a cornucopia to the world.

I first saw this poster when I was taking a tour of Ellis Island, it's from the early 1920's

Just The Facts

• The national debt hit $16 trillion on Sept 4. It is now at $16.287. We are on track to have spent $300 billion dollars in as many months. How long can we keep up spending like this?

• Despite claiming to be a champion for small business the Obama Administration has passed 1,773 new regulations in the last 30 days. (Find them here)

• Obama's new buddy Morsi, the president of Egypt has just granted himself dictatorial powers that make Mubarak look like a boy scout. The Egyptian people are rioting over this and this really can't be good for Israel. (Find his new powers here)

• As of November 2012, over 2,256 rockets had been launched at Israel from Gaza since January 2012. You can probably add another 15 or so since the "Cease Fire".

• Hamas uses women and children as human shields, and they are proud of it. (See that here)

Just Saying

• Isn't it fascinating that the Benghazi scandal is being drown out by this Petraeus thing?

• Oh, and the half million people still without power in New York from Sandy!

• There is only 3 ways for a business to deal with the rising cost from Obama care, be more efficient, raise prices, or cut employees. Being efficiency has been first and foremost since the economy turned south, it's price or jobs liberals, you choose?

• Obama  has planned a trip to Russia, we'll get to see how flexible he is.

• Wait war hating, medal tossing, super loser John Kerry is up for SecDef? Sad that doesn't surprise me.

• At least Hillary Clinton will be able to testify in the Benghazi hearing... What? She's on vacation  oh well it's only dead Americans.

• Speaking of testimony dodgers, Eric Holder will be staying on as AG, so the culture of corruption will go on.

• To most major news sites with breaking news about Justin Beiber's relationship status  WE DON'T CARE.

• Do you know about Twitchy? Cause if you don't you should. They have an app, its great.

• Saw the new Bond movie last night, "Skyfall" is worth the $18.

• Heard yesterday they are converting the new Superman movie "Man of Steel" into 3D, that makes me think the movie lacks something and they are trying to make up for that.

• On MSNBC Saturday, CBS's Nancy Giles said the reason white people are "trying to eliminate all these abortions" is "to build up the race". I guess she doesn't know that a majority of abortions kills black babies. AND that's what Margaret Sanger wanted when she started planned parenthood.

• This week has already seen hundreds of rockets fired out of Gaza and Syria into Israel, and as usual the media is attacking Israel for defending itself. Good thing relations between the US and Israel are "stronger than ever". NOT!

• Speaking of savage muslims, jihadist in Egypt are calling for the destruction of the pyramids and the sphinx. Anyone else having flashbacks to the Library of Alexandria?

• Lastly, the LA city council has declared Monday to be "Meatless Monday". Like I needed another reason to hate the city council and eat steak!

More Free Crap

Mitt Romney was no ones first choice to take on Obama, but he was on top at the end of the primary season and for the most part ran a solid campaign, he ran on the American classic theme of "Hard Work". But Obama ran on the much more fun "More Free Crap". It's hard for people to pass up free crap, now we know how hard. In the long run Romney was right in his 47% comment. Obama was right as well, in his '98 speech. This election was proof that the smooth talking, faux compassion, and free crap will sway the masses. More free crap is ultimately socialism and we know "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money"- Margaret Thatcher. Obama has been on a spending spree, he's run the national debt up over $16 trillion and now looks for the largest tax increases in American history to keep his spree going.

One of the biggest flubs (or so the media says) in Romney's campaign was his 47% comment. What he said was; "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what," He went on. "There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it." Now the term "victims" insulted people. But it wasn't wrong, these people are victims of Obama's agenda, but I'll get to that in a minute. These people aren't feeling the effects of being on the bottom. Back in the day when you were poor, you felt it. You ate cheap food, if you ate. You felt the burn of having to pull out those food stamps (they were once actually like stamps) and rip at them while everyone else looked at you. You watched a small broken tv, if had one. Your clothes had holes and your shoes were worn thin. But today at the bottom you eat whatever you want, from steak to shrimp, you buy soda and cookies. Your food stamps are pre-loaded on a slick credit card that you swipe and go without the stigma. There's a flat screen tv in the living room, and a couple others throughout the house. Your clothes look like everyone else's, they don't know you got them at Marshall's. Now we even have Obamaphones. The hard times just aren't hard anymore. So why give up more free crap. Romney's great America though commitment, sacrifice and hard work sounds so... hard.

If you don't like the thought of using the poor as political pawns, Obama was the wrong choice. In 1998 at Loyola  Obama said he viewed welfare recipients and “the working poor” as “a majority coalition” that could be mobilized to help advance progressive policies and elect their champions. So by his thought, he would need a "majority" of people in the welfare rolls to manipulate them into voting the way he wants. That is exactly what he did. He pummeled the middles class, shrinking it, sending more and more into his "majority coalition".  Don't forget the number of people applying for welfare every month is equal to or more than the number of jobs created. Mitt was right, but that won't change the need for more free crap.

I used the Thatcher quote above about OPM (other people's money), and that will be the failing of this experiment in socialism over the long run. It's what caused the Soviet Union to fall and what shifted China into this quasi-capitalist/socialist mash up. You can only rely on OPM for so long, the wealthy in this country will only give so much before they leave. The countries lending us money will only continue to do so for a few more credit downgrades before we are not worth investing in. More free crap is the sham, cause as we all know nothing is free! Someone is paying. Obamacare in not free healthcare, foodstamps are not free food, mandated birth control and abortions are not free. We can't keep inflating the stock market with printed money. Want proof? Click that link and watch how fast those dollars tick away, that has to be paid. Maybe not in the next 4 year when it is likely to jump up to $22trillion, but by our kids, grand kids and many generations after them. We are piling them down decades before they are born.

With the fiscal cliff fast approaching with unprecedented tax increases along with massive cuts to defense and medicare spending, we are responsible for keeping Obama in office. Now we will have to pay the price, and I promise when the free is gone all we'll have left is more crap. 

Just Saying

• Since Obama is pretending to be president shouldn't he wear a Reagan mask or something?

• If I let four Americans die in a far away land, I wouldn't want to talk about it either.

• We knew this hurricane was coming for days and FEMA still didn't seem ready, is this proof Obama doesn't care about white people?

• There's nothing like using children to get your point across, no I'm not talking about the creepy Obama kids singing about death. This is a lesson on redistribution Steven Crowder style!

• Wanna see something scary? Look at this!

• Obama has openly said he will let the Bush tax rates expire and let the sequestration happen, last time a Dem drove a speeding car over an edge like this Ted Kennedy was driving... SPLASH! (too soon?)

• So Disney bought Lucasfilms for $4billion, and already the talk of new Star Wars movies. It will be interesting to see Darth Vader on ABC's "Once Upon a Time".

• Just imagine if Obama happens (by some crazy chance) to win re-election the whole country will be a liberal utopia like Chicago.

• With Disney buying up Lucasfilm and already having Pixar and Marvel, they are quickly headed down the path of Umbrella Corp.

• OK this wasn't my strongest Just Saying post, but it takes a lot out of a guy to bash Obama day and night.

He Had One Job

And FAILED!

So the primary job of the POTUS is to protect it's citizens. He is not our boss, he works for us. Obama had one job to do and failed. Protecting the lives of Americans is first and foremost, time and time again Obama has proved he is not capable of doing his job. Be it in Libya or right here in the CONUS (continental United States). 

Lets start right here at home. After the Obama admin took over in 2009, new AG Eric Holder revived a failed gunwalking program from the Bush admin. Operation Fast and Furious was "supposed" to help track guns going from the US to Mexico. Though the Obama admin had none of the tracking tools used by previous admin and the operation quickly turned into thousands of US guns disappearing into Mexico and subsequently used to kill HUNDREDS of Mexican Citizens. On December 14, 2010 US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed on US soil by what was found out to be one of the guns lost by FF. The Obama admin brushed the whole story away, the MSM ignored the story as much as possible and ridiculed anyone who brought it up. TO THIS DAY, AG Eric Holder has NOT answered for the death of Agent Terry and the Obama admin pretends not to even know Terry's name. This failure of the administration to protect American life should have been the last, but no.

On 9/11/2012 in Benghazi Libya an attack by an Al Qaeda associated group on a US Consulate with NO formal security took the lives of four Americans. US Ambassador Chris Stevens, Embassy worker Sean Smith, CIA operatives and former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. This well planned and coordinated attack took place over seven hours. Mr.Smith was the first to die, then Ambassador Stevens was sexually assaulted and asphyxiated to death. While that was taking place CIA assets Doherty and Woods were a few blocks away, seeing the smoke coming form the burning consulate they radioed for authority to engage the terrorist, rescue the consulate workers and asked for back up. THREE times they were told to "Stand Down" and do nothing. When they couldn't take doing nothing any longer both men engaged the mob and killed 60 terrorist before losing their lives heroically. Woods died while "painting" a group of terrorist firing a mortar as a target with a laser meant to give air support a target to shoot at. But nothing happened, within minutes the terrorist spotted Woods and turned the mortar on his position and killed him. The Obama admin first lied and said the mob was a "spontaneous" outbreak of violence due to a "video" on youtube insulting the prophet (child rapist and all around scumbag) muhammad. This LIE went on for almost 3 weeks before it became very clear what had happened and very slowly the admin started changing it's story. TO THIS DAY the Obama admin has not answered why Woods and Doherty's request were denied and why during the seven hours of hell on 9/11/12 in Benghazi that was streaming LIVE into the White House NO EFFORT was made to save the 4 men who died that day. A seasoned veteran Woods would have only "painted" a target with a laser if he knew there was an aircraft nearby to lay down fire. Those men were left behind to be slaughtered like pigs. WE DON'T DO THAT! At least we didn't before Obama.

This creepy Obama flag kind of looks like the bloody handprint  left  behind in  Libya.

Barack Obama has demonstrated time after time that he does not care about what happens in this country. Be it by running up the National Debt over $16,000,000,000,000, residing over 2 downgrade of our national credit rating, sitting by while 23million Americans sit unemployed or worst of all ignoring the deaths of Americans serving their Country. We cannot afford four more years of this insanity. IT HAS TO STOP! DO YOUR PART ON NOV. 6. VOTE FOR REAL CHANGE! VOTE ROMNEY/RYAN '12!

The Crumbling Obama

After watching the three presidential debates I have figured out why Obama's campaign is failing. Obama's persona is a big issue, along with the people he's surrounded himself with. Then there is also the media's complicity in the whole thing, which despite being in the tank for Obama I think turned out to be his worst enemy. The last four years have been very telling, having a record to run on (or run from) is a definite factor as well.

In 2008 Obama was a virtual unknown in the world of politics. A jr senator from Illinois he came out of nowhere and exploded on the scene with a cult of personality that just overpowered the well known Hillary Clinton in the primary and made John McCain the stereotypical picture of the Republican party, stuffy, old, white, male. Obama saw this explosion and took advantage of being an unknown, He could be whatever people wanted him to be. He was young, mixed race, had a strong voice and a name that rebellious young liberals knew would piss off their fathers. We had people saying Obama was going to pay off their homes, cars, college loans, Obama himself said that he would end racial tensions in America and would make us loved all over the world on day one. No one cared he had never held a real job, no one read the books on who his father was and where he came from. People were caught up in the cult and never stopped to ask if Obama was qualified to be President of the United States. You couldn't oppose him, if anyone asked questions you were shouted down as a racist and dismissed. When he hid his college records or distanced himself from the church he sat in for 20 years it made no difference. Nothing could penetrate the cult. But this developed into a weakness no one would see for four years. Obama like the late Michael Jackson had surrounded himself by yes-men, every word he said, no matter how absurd, was praised. When he put on a funny southern accent it was charming, when he made fun of how old McCain was, he was witty.  I'm sure someone even snatched a tissue he sneezed in as a keepsake.

Obama's halo was part of the media's cult image.

Hillary got different treatment.

The mainstream media was complicit in the cult of Obama. They ran with Obama's "Hope and Change" slogan. They swooned, they tingled, they fainted, they slobbered all over themselves to make Obama the sure thing. They even went so far as to bash Clinton, who early on was their golden girl. Remember the halo pictures? The MSM did everything they could to make him untouchable, again using the race card to push down detractors. Obama was their messiah and just like the public, did no vetting of who Obama was. This inflated Obama's ego. Nothing he did caused any strife and he loved every second. But this may be part of his downfall. Now when the media questions him he looks shocked. He seems insulted that anyone would dare question his previously unchallenged intelligence. It's just like raising kids. You can't let them win all the time, you can't tell them they're smart when they answer 2+2 wrong. If you do the child acts petulant and spoiled. Just like Obama at the debates. By never challenging him they turned him into what we see today. The problem is you can't fool all the people all the time.

After four years of Obama's policies the Country is in the slowest recovery in American history, if you believe the recession ended in June 2009 like the administration told us. Obama promised so much in 2008 it should be no surprise that he couldn't get much of it done. But what he didn't do is the least of our problems.  We have big problems and as much as Obama wants you to believe it's Bush's fault, the blame lies squarely on Obama's shoulders. The most stand out of Obama's responsibilities is the national debt. In 2008 when Obama took office the ND was $10 trillion, but a mere 4 years later is $16 trillion. Ignoring Obama's promise to halve the debt by the end of his first term, he has run wild with spending. He once said that the $4 trillion Bush added to the debt in 8 years was unpatriotic. Now he tells us that we have to spend our way out of debt, which if anyone else tried would end up on the street if not jail. Obama took Bush's bail-outs to the next level, not just banks, he bailed out the auto industry, he bailed out "green" energy companies, states, and even some companies that aren't even in America. There's Obamacare, a bill no one wanted but congress pushed through. Then there is the jobs, Obama told us that without his bail-outs the unemployment would shoot up to 8%, he told us by now we'd be somewhere around 5%. Problem is the bail-out was a complete failure, unemployment shot up over 10% and now heavily adjusted we sit at 7.8%. There are over 22.6 million unemployed today, but the number the admin uses is 11 million. They don't count people who have been unemployed so long they have given up looking all together. Obama  has started a line of quantitative easing that led to 2 downgrades of our national credit rating. While these QE's have been holding up the stock market, its a bubble that will burst when the money stops flowing from the government. Economic growth has been stagnant and this is making us look weak across the globe. Iran's dictator has questioned how much longer we can be a superpower with the debt we have. But that is the tip of the iceberg in his foreign policy failures. He let Egypt and Libya fall under the rule of radical islamist, he looked the other way during the iranian green revolution. He sits by while Syria slaughters its own and puts "daylight between the US and Israel". He betrayed our allies Great Britain  Japan, and Poland while bowing to dictators and communist and telling Russian President Medvedev to transmit to Putin that he will be more flexible after the election.

We cannot afford 4 more years of Barack Obama, not in our economy, and not in our national security. We should have been told who he was before he took the most powerful position on the Earth. We needed the MSM to do its job not foist on us an unqualified jr Senator. But now we know, we know who he is, we know what his plans are and we know what he cares about, HIMSELF. We have the ability to stop this train wreck halfway through, we can save ourselves from the rest of Obama's policies and ideas. Ultimately it will be easy, just vote. Vote for Mitt Romey, vote for real change. Change we can believe in.
