September 28th, 2011  DEBATE / JOBS / ENOUGH
Seperator


Greetings from the West Texas Headquarters For Sick Of Debate Four Wheel Drive Owning Fossil Fuel Using Pro-Hunting Angry Jingoistic Mob Members.


 

Let me first give you all an update on my surgery recovery.   Everyone seems really pleased with my progress but my heart, while much improved is still not functioning as well as it could.   So with that, I will have a Pacemaker/Defibrillator installed next Wednesday.   My surgeon showed me the item today at his office and it is much smaller than what I thought.   He said that the item will be placed under my collarbone on the left side of my chest with three wires going into my heart.   He said the whole procedure will take about an hour and I will not have to undergo the complete unconscious anesthetic and it will be more like the type they use when a colonoscopy is performed.  I wish I could have gotten by without it but I really expected to have to have one of these babies installed.   The surgery will be next Wednesday morning so I will be off line for that day.  I will have to spend the night in the hospital as that is their rule just to make sure everything went as expected.  So please keep me in your prayers.

 

DEBATES:
 

I looked up the word DEBATE ins the Webster's World Dictionary and here is what it says:

 

DEBATE - to discuss reasons for and against something;  a discussion of opposing reasons;  a formal contest of skill in REASONED  argument.

 

Now if what we watched last week on FOX s between NINE  Republican Presidential Hopefuls was a DEBATE then I expect any day now to  depose Elizabeth as the British Monarch or perhaps to be named President of The NFL. 

 First of all, these people had something like 30 seconds apiece to give their views on a question asked of them.  Now if being asked questions by the FOX s team were not enough, we were also subjected to video questions ,from God only knows who, via U-Tube.   And some of these questions had to be formulated by plants from various candidates.

 

The bottom line is that NINE  people participating in this sorry excuse for an actual debate  is at least five people over the limit.  Why former Mexico Governor Gary Johnson is invited is a mystery to me.  And I know some of you probably like Ron Paul, and I also like a couple of his views on certain items, but for every intelligent statement he makes he counters it with a statement which makes him look like almost as big of a DOOF as Gary Johnson.

 

Actually the person on that stage who really appears to know more about government is t Gingrich who has shot himself in the foot with me a long time back.  I like what Herman Cain says pretty much on every subject but realistically speaking, I do not believe he can raise enough cash to go the distance.  Michelle Bachman  is also pretty sharp on some items but then will come across like a screeching Hillary Clinton clone on others. Also she seems more interested in making Rick Perry look bad than she does with coming up with some solutions.  Rick Santorum looked like he was playing hatchet man for Mitt Romney since all he did was criticize Rick Perry who managed to throw the ball out of the stadium.  John Huntsman has on a few occasions came across to me as a &;Moderate&;.  Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!   Not another one of those.  All in all I thought Herman Cain was the most straight forward but I thought Mitt Romney probably won the &;DEBATE&; since he an Perry were asked the most questions by far.

 

So in summation I will say that I probably will NOT  watch another 9 person DEBATE;   Nor will I watch the trial of the doctor who is being tried for the death of Michael Jackson;  Nor will I watch the Emmys;   Nor the Academy Awards;  Nor Miss America; Nor The View;  Nor Ellen;  Nor Dancing With The Stars  and that should pretty much tell you all just where I place these so called DEBATES.   If the would narrow it down to two and have a decent amount of time for each candidate to state their position on domestic and foreign policy and how they plan on defeating the world's most articulate and intelligent human, then I could watch it...... for awhile anyway.

 

JOBS:
 

OK, to begin with, Barack Hussein Obama's so called half trillion dollar &;Jobs Bill&; is nothing more than a series of tax increases.  Also, you may have noticed that I have added Warren Buffett to the Varmints List.   If Mr. Buffett wants to pay more taxes, I am sure that the government, particularly under this band of thieves, would be more than willing to accept some additional funds from him.  I know Mr. Buffett is a smart man and extremely wealthy but I do not need him to tell me how much I should be paying in federal income tax.

 

Back on JOBS.  I have watched the world's most articulate and intelligent human in previous films speak about how many  &;Green  PERMANENT  Jobs&;  that would be created by Solyndra..... or as I prefer to call it..... SOBAMALYNDRA..... and making sure that they received a half billion dollars in assistance, which was basically a half-billion dollar gift to some people who are at least as incompetent as the world's  most intelligent and articulate human.

 

Apparently these SOBAMALYNDRA idiots have a real problem with arithmetic.  I watched one film in which one of the head idiots said that it cost them $6 to make each solar panel but the panels could only  be sold for something like $4.   So just in my head I realized that for every $60,000 spent on this manufacturing nightmare the company would only receive $40,000 back.   Now I am not sure but I don't believe that this formula will catch on in the business world.

 

Not to mention the fact that when the Congressional Hearings began the two SOBAMALYNDRA witnesses were sworn in and invoked the Fifth Amendment  more than Michael Corleone in Godfather II.   I understand why the Fifth Amendment is in the Constitution and I believe that it is  a good thing.   But I also believe that when a witness or a defendant stands on the Fifth Amendment rather than answer a simple question that, dare I say it...... makes them LOOK  GUILTY.

 

Anyway rather than creating his 1,000 PERMANENT  GREEN  JOBS, the company went belly up taking a half-billion tax dollars with them.  Here is some information I received via E-MAIL and I thought it was pretty funny.

 

1)  Last year after the Green Bay Packers defeated the Buffalo Bills,  Buffalo released starting quarterback Trent Edwards making way for a quarterback.

 

2)  During the Green Bay Packers vs. the Philadelphia Eagles game, the Packers injured Philadelphia quarterback Kevin Kolb making room for backup quarterback Michael Vick.

 

3)  During a playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the Green Bay Packers injured Michael Vick making room for still another backup quarterback.

 

4)  After the Green Bay Packers vs. the Dallas Cowboys game, Dallas fired Wade Phillips and others on his staff.

 

5)  Four weeks after losing to the Green Bay Packers, the San Francisco 49ers, Coach Mike Singleterry and most of his staff were fired and replaced.

 

6)  During the playoff game with the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers injured quarterback Jay Cutler and backup Todd Collins forcing the Bears to go with third string quarterback Caleb Hanie.

 

SO,  anyway you cut it, the Green Bay Packers have created more jobs than the Obama administration.

 

ENOUGH:
 

It seems it is  the general consensus of opinion among Democrats/Liberals/Progressives/Socialists that if you disagree with anything put out  by Barack Hussein Obama or his administration then  you must be a RACIST. 

 

But it is perfectly alright for actor Morgan Freeman to accuse members of the TEA Party of being racist with the blessings of Obama and his minions.  I have always thought that Morgan Freeman was a really good actor and had some measure of respect for his abilities but it seems as if he is just another Danny Glover or Harry Belafonte holding the view that if you are Caucasian or disagree with Obama then you must necessarily be a racist.

 

Now, think on this for awhile...  THE  CONGRESSIONAL  BLACK CAUCUS.  If this is not being racist and continuing to drive a wedge between the various races in our country then racism is a myth.  And where was the media when Barack Hussein Obama recently addressed the Congressional Black Caucus at some annual dinner and decided that instead of speaking as he normally does, felt it incumbent upon him to sound like he came from a cotton field in Southern Alabama.  To me that is a complete insult to intelligent black people. 

 

I watched an interview the other day when a FOX s Reporter was talking with a black Congresswoman and he mentioned Herman Cain and Alan West and this black Congresswoman immediately said,  &;We call them Oreos&;.  &;That's black on the outside and white on the inside&;.  Nothing racist about this sow's statement, huh?

 

When you get right down to it, there are many so called black leaders who make a living off using race as a tool.  Let's see, there's Jesse Jackson and  Al Sharpton just to kick things off.  And of course there are many more who try to put us all on a guilt trip... but they are wasting their time and breath with me since I do not feel guilty in the least.  How about Reverend Jeremiah Wright?  You remember, the hate mongering slug whose church Barack and Michelle Obama attended but never heard any of his hate filled speech?

 

But I have had MORE  THAN  ENOUGH of these clowns trying to make us out as the bad guys.   I have had MORE  THAN  ENOUGH of being talked down to by elected officials at every level.   I have had MORE  THAN ENOUGH of Republicans falling for the guilt trips of the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists.    I have had MORE  THAN ENOUGH of the liberal s media and their lies.   And finally I have had MORE  THAN  ENOUGH of the Obama Administration. 

 

These so called Republican Presidential Candidates had better get off their dead asses and stop beating up on each other and begin to attack the real enemies of our country.

&;We already have a President who is glib and fast on his feet.  But he is a disaster when it comes to the economy, among  other things.  Do we need more of the same from Republicans?&;............  THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;The time horizon of politics seldom reaches beyond the next election.  But, in economics, when an oil company invests in oil explorations today, the oil they eventually find and process may not make its way to market and earn a profit until it is sold  as gasoline a decade from now.&;...................... THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.&;... THOMAS  JEFFERSON

 

&;Hitler learned that efficiency without justice is a vain thing.  Democracy does not work that way.  democracy is a matter of faith -- a faith in the soul of man --- a faith in  human rights.   That is the kind of faith that moves mountains --- that's the kind of faith that hurled the Iron Range at the Axis and shook the world at Hiroshima.  Faith is much more than efficiency.  Faith gives value to all things.  Without  faith, the people perish.&;...........  HARRY  TRUMAN

      

&;Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of the chains of slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.&;..... PATRICK  HENRY

MORE  STUFF:
 

I read an article in the (Sub) Standard which had bold headlines &;PERRY  LAGS  IN  APPOINTING  WOMEN&;.  The article went on to point out that while Governor Rick Perry had many more opportunities to make state appointments than his two predecessors, his record in selecting minorities and women doesn't go far beyond theirs and in some cases lags behind.   It said that while Perry's percent  Latino and black appointments is slightly higher than that of former Governor George W. Bush, Perry ranks a bit behind Bush in appointments of women.

 

Now you see?   I have been laboring under the false impression that any appointments made by any elected official should be made on that person's abilities rather than their race or sex.  I guess I am just not in tune with the left wing loon's ideas on appointments.   And another chapter to that story is I am damn proud not to be.  Once again another  liberal doof trying to put us on a guilt trip.  But that should not surprise any of us when we live in a society where everyone is supposed to get a trophy or medal and special recognition for exceptional performance is just not in vogue.

----------------------------------------

Another letter to the (Sub) Standard stated that the &;War On Drugs&; was a failure and of course this forward thinking individual compared the drug problem to prohibition.  Now I will be the first to admit that I do not believe that the politicians as a whole are not really all that interested in enforcement of drug statutes  but I dread to think of what our society would look like had we followed the suggestion of former Mexico Governor and current Presidential Candidate, Gary Johnson who wanted to legalize everything and let the Government be in charge of the dispensing of the various drugs.  I can sure understand where he coming from since the government has done such a bang up job on everything else.   Johnson is a RINO and a complete doof.

----------------------------------

I watched a film clip of the world's most articulate and intelligent human speaking about the &;INTERCONTINENTAL   RAILROAD&;. 

 

HEY  BARACK!  I'm going to say this just once and this again is according to The  Webster's World Dictionary.

 

INTERCONTINENTAL -  1)  between or among continents  2) able to travel from one continental to another

 

TRANSCONTINENTAL - 1)  that which crosses a continent  2)  on the other side of a continental

 

RAILROADS  ARE  TRANSCONTINENTAL

 

LONG  RANGE  MISSILES  ARE  INTERCONTINENTAL - as  in ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile)

------------------------------------------------

I was sorry for the families of the three American hikers who were imprisoned in Iran for being in that country illegally.  But the question comes to my mind is this;   What in the hell were they doing over in that part of the world just to hike.   Are you going to try to make me believe that there are not places in America where hikers can get challenged?  How about Australia?  How about Switzerland?   How about the Great Pyrenees?  How about South America?  How about Zealand?  I guess this would have been too tame for these adventurous souls.

 

Sort of reminds me of the two female reporters who were in China legally then ACCIDENTALLY entered North Korea and were imprisoned.  How does one go about ACCIDENTALLY crossing the Yalu River?

 

My point is this.  These people made a conscious choice to place themselves in harm's way near the borders of countries who hate our ass.  Why should it surprise them when they are treated like.......... dare I say it............. ILLEGAL  ALIENS?

 

As I said, I feel sorry for their families but perhaps they will choose their next hiking location a bit more carefully.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Please keep me in your prayers.  I sure hope this is my last surgery for a good while.


God bless

Hello once more from the West Texas Angry Fossil Fuel Burning Gun Owning SUV Driving Jingoistic Sons Of Four Wheel Vehicle Drivers Of America.
 
U.N.:
 
Earlier this morning I was doing my cardiac rehab class and was on the treadmill when the world's most articulate and intelligent human made his address before this completely useless body.  There were a couple of television sets so that regardless of where you were in the room, one of them was visible.  Of course the sound was turned down so that in order to keep up with the truly important views of the most incompetent U.S. President in history you had to read the script at the bottom of the picture.  Occasionally it went a bit rapidly and at the time I was also listening to a tape with music from Elvis;  Jerry Lee Lewis;  Dr. John;  Roy Orbison; and Lynyrd Skynyrd (as you may have gathered, I am a man of great culture).  But I was able to pick up enough of the words from the world's most articulate and and intelligent bi-ped to reach the conclusion that he know absolutely no more about world affairs and foreign policy than he does about economical issues.
 
I watched him enough to know that in his view,  &;Peace Is Hard&;.   Wow!  What a profound statement.  As I was trying to keep up with his pretty much senseless babble the thought occurred to me that a Middle-East  Peace between Israel and the Arab/Muslim countries which surround them might just be a bit too large a task for someone of Barack Hussein Obama's incompetence.
 
Let's face it.  Up until now, Obama has pretty much thrown Israel out the window.  Oh yes, he did say this morning that Israel was one of our strongest allies in the region but all in all his speech made me think back to Los Angeles right after the Rodney King riots when the two L.A.P.D. Officers were acquitted by a State Court and massive riots broke out which resulted in massive property losses as well as personal injury to a great many people.   I remember Rodney King himself appearing on the television and tearfully   begging the people of Los Angeles;  &;Can't We All Just  Get  Along?&;
 
Well the answer then was NO and the answer today in the Middle East is also NO.  There are some irreconcilable differences between the Arab/Muslim countries and Israel.  Most of the Arab/Muslim countries deny that Israel even has a right to exist.  It seems to me as if there have been a number of attempts to broker a peace deal between the Palestinians and Israel with way negative results. 
 
I do not suppose that it has occurred to the world's most articulate and intelligent human that this particular area and group of countries have been fighting amongst each other for many centuries and the likelihood of someone who probably cannot parallel park will be able to cause peace to break out in this area has the life expectancy of a wounded wildebeest on the Serengeti.
 
And the likelihood of the United Nations doing ANYTHING which will benefit ANYONE is almost non-existent.   I would imagine that Israel probably has the only real plan for getting the wolf away from their door.
 
CRIME:
 
There was an article last  Saturday in the (Sub) Standard which proclaimed, in bold headlines,  U.S.  Violent Crimes Plunge 12% In 2010.  Of course these crime statistics can be manipulated to show pretty much what some government entity wants them to say.  From all the s we see every day about violent crimes which occur all over the country I pretty much believe that this 12% plunge is more than likely a load of crap.
 
Now I can believe that certain types of crimes have taken a dip, particularly in states which have a conceal carry permit statute.  But in those states which do not allow a conceal carry by citizens OR their conceal carry laws make it almost impossible for an honest citizen to procure the permit, probably have not noticed a measurable drop in violent crimes.
 
When I said that these statistics can be manipulated to suit a government entity, let me give you an example:
 
At one point in time the break between a misdemeanor theft and a felony theft, in Mexico, was $100.   This means that if the items stolen were valued at $100  or less then that theft was a misdemeanor.  But if the value was over $100 the theft would be classified as a felony.  Then one year the Mexico Legislature changed the statute raising the amount to $250 which means the property stolen  had to be valued at over $250 in order to be classified as a felony.  So with the stroke of a pen the number of felony thefts in the entire State of Mexico dropped significantly.  That did not mean that the crimes did not happen but that statutorily  there were less felonies.
 
Speaking of crime, I got an e-mail earlier today telling about the State of Florida being the FIRST  STATE requiring MANDATORY DRUG  TESTING for WELFARE RECIPIENTS.   Applicants who test positive for illicit substances won't be eligible for the funds for ONE  YEAR.   Those who fail a second time would be banned from receiving funds for THREE YEARS.
 
Of course the ACLU and other flaming liberal groups will declare that this law is Unconstitutional HOWEVER they don't mind working people being required to take a drug test in order to GET  A  JOB.
 
Good for you FLORIDA.  How about some other states following suit?
 
CHENEY:
 
I have not read the book, IN  MY  TIME, written by former Vice President Dick Cheney with help from his daughter Liz Cheney....  YET.  But I do intend reading it within the next few months.  I have a stack of books which I need to read as I fell behind in my reading during my surgery and vacation.
 
Apparently Vice President Cheney committed the unpardonable sin of speaking out against former Secretary of State, Colin Powell (Varmint) and also criticizing another Bush Administration Secretary of State Condoleezza  Rice.  I have seen Dick Cheney on several interviews and his problem with Ms. Rice was apparently that he disagreed with her assessment of certain situations.
 
One night last week, Liz Cheney was a guest on the O'Reilly Factor and Bill O'Reilly was pretty much a complete turd to her.  He asked her a question about something in the book and after she answered, O'Reilly, who is probably the second most intelligent human on the planet, told her that she was wrong about the subject.  But Ms. Cheney jumped right back at O'Reilly and of course O'Reilly had to once again make known the fact that Dick Cheney had never appeared as a guest on his program.  Hey Bill!   Maybe Dick Cheney thinks you are a horses ass.  I imagine that  there are a number of other programs on which Dick Cheney has declined an invitation to appear.  Perhaps Mr. Cheney has the same opinion as I,  that being, anyone who thinks Charles Rangel is a &;Stand Up Guy&; is not one of my favorites.
 
I have been watching Dick Cheney make personal appearances since the first Gulf War in 1990   and have never seen him not be able to give an intelligent answer to any question asked.  I watched him eat up John Edwards in a TV Debate during the campaign.  He is probably one of the more experienced politicians I have ever seen.   I might not agree with him on every issue but he sure makes a good case for the positions he takes.  He has the same qualities as John  Bolton, whom I believe has more knowledge and less use for the United Nations than anyone on the scene.
 
Also, another reason to believe that Dick Cheney is telling the true story is that Senator John McCain has been critical of Mr. Cheney's book and that should tell us all that Cheney must be on the right track.  When pretty much everyone who is being critical of you is a mutt then you have to know you are on the right track.

MORE  STUFF:
 
Barack Hussein Obama's speeches are beginning to run together for me.  In one clip I heard the world's most articulate and intelligent human make the statement  that.... &;To have what you want is one of the BASIC  RIGHTS of everybody&;.   Once again I must disagree with this incompetent community organizer.   There are lots of people who want lots of things.   For instance, I want to attend every single Texas High School Championship Game.   Is that one of my basic rights?   It is something which I could probably do IF I wanted to spend the money for travel;  hotels; meals;  etc.  But if I do not wish to spend the money or perhaps if I did not have the funds with which to attend these games, does the government have a duty to see that I get to do it anyway?  I think not.   There are wants and there are needs.  I would love to have a brand Cadillac Escalade 4WD Pickup.  But if I cannot afford to purchase it on my own, is it up to the government to take the funds from a millionaire or billionaire to satisfy one of my wants?
 
These bozos have stuffed the First Amendment down our throats long enough.   The first Amendment is pretty brief and pretty clear.  There is not one damn thing in there about Freedom Of Choice and I have yet to find anywhere in our Constitution where it gives anyone the RIGHT to infringe upon the rights of another WITHOUT  DUE  PROCESS.
 
These Liberals/Socialists/Progressives/Democrats had just better hope that the majority of Americans don't start practicing what the Liberals/Socialists/Progressives/Democrats preach to us from the highest mountain tops.
------------------------------------------------
A couple of weeks ago at the request of a young couple who had lost their home due to foreclosure, I called their mortgage company to see what the situation actually was.  I got  a young lady who was more than helpful and told me that the home had been placed up for auction and that it had already sold.   I then asked her who had purchased the home and she told me that it was insured through FHA and that HUD had actually purchased the home.
 
I then called  FHA and again spoke with a helpful individual who informed me that they only insured the loan and that HUD had been the ORIGINAL  OWNER of the property in question and that they had bought it back from the mortgage holder.  So I then called HUD.   Helpful individuals had ended with my call to HUD.   Prior to speaking with a person who spoke as if they had a mouth  full of rocks I got the obligatory recorded messages to press certain numbers if I wanted certain information regarding certain things.

To my surprise, one of the options asked me if I wanted to speak to someone about my REVERSE  MORTGAGE which of course I did not  and went on until I spoke with a rude incompetent who pissed me off right off the bat.  I did end up informing said incompetent that she was barking up the wrong tree talking down to me since I had absolutely nothing to do with their hen-house operation.  I found out what I needed to know and happily ended my conversation with a HUD employee.

Then point I am making in this whole deal is that HUD is obviously involved in the Reverse Mortgage scam.  Now I do not know how a Reverse Mortgage works for sure but I know that if the Federal Government in general and HUD in particular are involved then I do not ever want anything to do with it.
 
Funny thing is that on the very next day I heard Barack Hussein Obama talk  about homeowners in danger of foreclosure were going to be guaranteed an opportunity to re-finance their mortgage.   What a mutt.
------------------------------------------
Last week I ed portions of Psalm 46 which was butchered by Barack Hussein Obama.   Someone called to my attention another Psalm.  So I went to my Grandmother's old Bible and looked up Psalm 109, verse 8:
 
'Let his days be few;  and let another take his office&;
 
With that thought I will leave you for another week.

September 14th, 2011  MEMORIAL / VARMENTS
Seperator WEDNESDAY - September 14,   2012

 

Greetings once more from the West Texas Headquarters For Gun Owning Sons Of Jingoism.

 

MEMORIAL:

 

Like most of you last Saturday and Sunday, I watched several of the Memorial  Services at the various locations where Americans were killed by Muslim Terrorists on 9/11/2001.   This of course was the tenth anniversary of these tragic events.

 

I remembered a couple of years back when that doof who is married to Barbara Streisand, I believe his name is James Brolin, was being interviewed and he referred to 9/11 as a Holiday, which I thought went to show just how stupid he really was.  Actually, being married to Barbara Streisand pretty much places you near the top of the stupid meter.

 

This past week end and I believe it was the service in Pennsylvania where flight 93 crashed, I listened to President George W. Bush who came across as genuinely sad and made sincere attempts to comfort the families of the victims.

 

He was followed by President Bill Clinton who made a fairly short speech which he ended by telling the audience that HE and I believe John Boehner were going to personally see that funds were available for a park at that location.  So in reality he concentrated more upon what HE was going to do than he did upon the victims and their families.......  Anyone surprised?

 

Then came Barack Hussein Obama who came across as his usual arrogant self.  Now here comes the interesting part:

 

Let me begin this portion by ing PSALM 46;  Verses 1 - 11: This from one of my Grandmother's Bibles which I remember seeing when I was  a kid back in the early 1940's.

 

1.     GOD is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble.

2.     Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.

3.     Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake and with the swelling thereof.

4.     There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of GOD, and the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5.     GOD is in the midst of her;   she shall not be moved;   GOD shall help her, and that right early.

6.     The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved;   HE uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7.     The Lord of Hosts is with us;  the GOD of Jacob is our refuge.

8.     Come behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9.     He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth;   He breaketh the bow  and snappeth the spear  in sunder;   He burneth the chariot and the shield  in the fire.

10. Be still and know that I am GOD;   I will be exalted amongst the heathen,   I will be exalted  in the earth.

11. The Lord of Hosts is with us;    The GOD of Jacob is our refuge.

 

As I said, this e was taken from one of my Grandmother's bibles and is written in the old way as most bibles are.   If you ever saw the movie;   ZULU,  this Psalm was ed by a Colour Sergeant Major,  played by Nigel Green,  and a preacher, played by Jack Hawkins.   When I heard it in the movie, I remembered that this was one of my favorite Psalms from when I was a little kid and my Grandpa read passages to me from this very bible.

 

Of course in some of the modern bibles where contemporary language is use it sounds somewhat different but you can recognize it after listening to a few lines.


This is what I heard coming from the mouth of Barack Hussein Obama, who was without teleprompter and just had to read it as part of his speech at one of the memorial programs.  I recognized it pretty early in the game BUT when he came to the part about &;Breaketh the bow&;,  the world's most articulate and intelligent human pronounced it as BOUGH as in the bough of a tree, or a BOW as in what Obama does when in the presence of the leaders of Muslim countries,  or bow as in the front end of a boat.

 

I immediately said to my wife that this doof had probably never read this passage before that day and his handlers had obviously not told the world's most articulate and intelligent human that the passage was referring to destroying the weapons if war and not the limbs from trees nor front ends of boats nor paying homage to some Muslim leader who wants us all dead.

 

But once again this jerk showed that he had no regard really for the victims or their families and this was just another photo op for he and his ever ballooning spouse.   His mob handlers really need to make sure that he has his teleprompter handy because without that little item he comes across pretty goofy. 

 

Why Jim,  you are being overly critical critical of the President of the United States.   Yes, I am.   But he has had his backside kissed for so long by the mainstream media and the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist  politicians that I feel as if it is my duty to call this slug out when he goofs.  But Jim, everyone makes mistakes.    Right again and about 52% if the voters made a grievous mistake in November, 2008 when they voted for this arrogant mutt.

 

I must say that on the programs I watched dealing with the 9/11 attacks, the National Anthem was done rather well by people who were paying respect to our country and our flag.  But I was not fooled since I k that later on the NFL was going to kick off their season and they were bound to find some folks who could really screw it up.

 

And speaking of the NFL..... How 'Bout Them Cowboys?

 

THE  VARMINT  LIST:

 

Over the past couple of weeks I have received several questions as to why Bill O'Reilly  was on the Varmint List.  Within the past couple of weeks I have watched the Factor host, Bill O'Reilly, make the statement to one of his guests that he thought that Barack Obama was seriously concerned about workers and that he (O'Reilly) believed that Obama was genuine in his beliefs regarding, I believe he said the Health Care Bill.   Then on another occasion he once again made the statement that York  Representative Charles Rangel was &;A Stand Up Guy&;.

 

Perhaps I am a being bit judgmental but anyone who thinks that Obama is anything other than a complete liar and that Charles Rangel is anything other than a complete turd, belongs on the Varmint List.

 

I do not disagree with O'Reilly on everything but as tough as he claims to be, he still kisses up to powerful people.

 

Now I must briefly touch upon another True Varmint and that is Alan Colmes.  I was watching him earlier today and they were discussing green jobs and green energy and that California Company who received a half-billion dollars in government funds only to declare bankruptcy within a few months.   At one point I heard Colmes make a statement that the reason that green energy was not competitive was that the other energy sources should be taxed more to bring their costs more in line with the green energy sources.  Now there is some sound reasoning.   Let's just tax the petroleum and coal energy sources so that they must raise their prices to the unaffordable point and then we would be forced to turn to green energy.

 

If any of you still believe that the wind energy and those huge wind turbines is the way to go then you really need to speak with someone who has attempted to go into that field, or better still, speak with someone who is involved in the manufacture of the components of one of those huge windmills.   Also if you will notice, you never see just one,  nope, there are always between 25 and 50 of them at each location.

 

Also, I feel it is proper to call out York Michael Bloomberg for his decision to NOT  INVITE members of the clergy to the Ground Zero Ceremonies AND to NOT INVITE  every single Firefighter;  Policeman;  and Volunteer Worker who helped with the rescue and cleanup at that location.  I did watch a short interview with his honor the mayor in which he justified not inviting the clergy since &;Separation Of Church And State&; is required by the Constitution, according to this mutt.  OK.  Mayor Bloomberg,  just  for you here is the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States:

 

&;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.&;

 

Now I am sure that Mayor Bloomberg is much smarter than am I, and I am sure that his formal education is much more impressive, but to say that the Constitution requires the &;Separation of Church and State&; tells me that he doesn't know horse crap from wild honey.  I think Mayor Bloomberg showed his ass, but why should that come as a surprise to any of us?

&;What most people are unaware of is that there was no Great Depression until AFTER politicians started intervening in the economy..... There was a stock market crash in October 1929 and unemployment shot up to 9 percent --- for one month.   Then the unemployment started drifting back down until it was 6.3  percent in June 1930, when the first major federal intervention took place.......That was when the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill, which more than a thousand economists across the country pleaded with Congress and President Hoover not to enact.  But then, as now, politicians decided that they had to do something...... Within 6 months, unemployment hit double digits.&;......... THOMAS  SOWELL

MORE STUFF:

 

Last week in Obama's  big speech before Congress and then later on after he called a press conference to let us all know that he had the bill I believe called the American Jobs Act and he kept referring to &;Infrastructure Jobs&;.   He kept telling us how this would put construction workers back to work.   Stop and think for a moment about these &;Infrastructure Jobs&;.   He is speaking of bridge construction;  road construction;  and God only knows what else.  But most of these &;Infrastructure Jobs&; to which he is referring will be paid for with,  guess what?  That's right,  TAX  DOLLARS.  He keeps speaking about  hiring all these teachers and remodeling old and constructing schools.   These jobs and positions will necessarily be paid with, guess what?  Right again,  TAX  DOLLARS.  And one must wonder if most of these jobs of which he is speaking aren't Union Jobs?   This president is a union man from the start.  Almost every time he speaks before a group of workers it is union workers.

 

What I really found extremely humorous was when he made the statement about wanting the people in South Korea to be driving GMC or Ford or Chrysler vehicles.   I know for a fact that the South Korean people are very proud of their country.  They are also very proud of the automobile and shipbuilding industries.  And I just imagine that a Hyundai or a Kia in S. Korea is a bit less expensive than that same vehicle is over here  AND I can assure you that the GMC; Ford; or Chrysler vehicles would be cost prohibitive in S. Korea.  So once again, the world's most articulate and intelligent human showed that he doesn't have a clue.   But there are some who are even more clueless than him.... and that is the boobs who were giving him a huge round of applause on that statement.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Article in the Washington Post stated that the Arctic Ocean is warming up,  icebergs are becoming more scarce and in some places the seals are finding  the water too hot.   Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic Ocean.   Very few seals and no white fish are being found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.   Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the seal will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.......... OH!  Excuse me, I forgot to mention that this article was from NOVEMBER 2, 1922.    For those of you in the People's Republic of San Francisco, that would be 89 years ago.  Perhaps a relative of Al Gore was employed by them at the time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I went to the Post Office this morning and on the way I was listening to Rush Limbaugh who made a statement with which I am in complete agreement.  He said that the conservatives in this country ARE  NOT  INTERESTED in electing Republican candidates who are willing to &;WORK  WITH&;  the Democrats.   They are interested in electing TRUE  CONSERVATIVES who will defeat the Democrats and take a super majority in both the House and Senate as well as the White House.

 

My sentiments exactly.  I have heard enough about compromise.   Let's steamroll these turds.

------------------------------------------------------------

I know that many of you remember a dead-pan comedian named Steven Wright.  He was famous for one liners such as:

 

&;If you shoot a mime, do you have to use a silencer?&;

 

I saw one today that I had not seen before:

 

&;If one synchronized swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?&;

Greetings Once Again From The West Texas Headquarters For Firearms Owning SUV Driving Angry Barbaric Intolerant Jingoistic Anti- Man-Made-Global Warming Believing Fossil Fuel Using Activist Sons-Of -Bitches.

 

And before I go another step I must correct a man whom I believe is a Criminal Union Thug and that would be Teamsters  Union Leader, Jimmy Hoffa.  It seems as if the correct e made by  this typical liberal Union boss when speaking of TEA Party members and anti-union conservatives was:   &;Let's Take These Son-Of-A-Bitches Out&;.   Now at the risk of pissing off this Union Mutt I feel it my sacred duty to point out his grammatical error.   If he were speaking about just ONE conservative it should have been &;Let's take this Son-Of-A-Bitch out&;.  So, if that were the case then his use of &;These&; and the plural &;Bitches&; is completely wrong.

 

So I must assume that he was referring to more than one conservative, and if so, the correct words should have been:  &;Lets Take These SONS-OF-BITCHES out.   But then again, what can you expect from the head Union Thug.  Certainly honesty and accuracy should never be expected from this turd.  Apparently proper grammar is also foreign to this mutt.

 

SPEECHES:
 

I also watched Barack Hussein Obama's address in Detroit to the Union members.  I further noticed that in typical fashion, Obama had audience members seated at his back so that the viewing audience could watch these puppets grin and nod in agreement with the world's most articulate and intelligent human being.  There was one blonde woman sitting to the right rear of Obama and I do not know if this woman had a single digit I.Q. or not, but she sure appeared to be buying the entire line of crap being put out by this incompetent occupant of the White House.

 

I must admit that I did not watch the entire speech since I am unable to accept this line of crap being put out by the present administration.

 

I do not know if the Republican Party heads watched Obama's speech but they should have and better be a bit better prepared and go after this mutt in full force in the next Presidential election.

 

Republicans should have gone to school on this Operation Fast And Furious fiasco.  It became pretty damn clear to me that had  some BATF Field Agents  not come forth then the Obama administration would have used the fact that some of these firearms purchased and transported to Mexico and put into the hands of the drug cartels and used in various crimes ON  BOTH SIDES  OF  THE BORDER, was basically the fault of greedy firearms dealers here in the United States.  I can almost guarantee that stiffer gun control laws would have followed and our Second Amendment Rights would have been on their way out.  Congress needs to see that some of the people responsible for this face Criminal Charges.

 

Back to speeches.  I did not get the name of the group to which the equally incompetent Vice President, Joe Biden, was speaking but I did manage to catch this equally big turd referring to conservatives in general and TEA Party members in particular as &;Barbarians At The Gate&;.   If that is what the Democrat leadership thinks of conservative American Citizens then I am proud to be a Barbarian.

 

And of course you have but to look at the media members who found nothing wrong with Hoffa's comments or Biden's rhetoric to know how these varmints will come at us in the 2012 elections.

 

Just stop and think that if George W. Bush were President and someone like Glenn Beck had introduced his speech by referring to the Democrats/Socialists/Progressives as &;Sons-Of-Bitches&;, then the mainstream media would have been calling for a federal investigation of Beck for a Hate Crime.

 

Obama, in his Labor Day speech should have told the RNC all they needed to know about how he is going to go about placing the blame for the jobless rate right in their laps.  And they better forget political correctness completely and go after this incompetent slug.   But that remains to be seen.  I still trust the &;Moderate Republicans&; or &;Moderate Independents&; about as much as I do a rabid chimp.

 

Also, for the benefit of the residents of &;The People's Republic of San Francisco&;,  Hoffa's  &;Take Out&; remark did not mean out for dinner, or out to the ball game.   He meant it in the exact same context as how the mob did his own father.

 

GIBSON:
 

I have seen several reports of some federal agents from Homeland Security and Fish and Wildlife executing search warrants on the Gibson Guitar Company.  The apparent violation for which the Gibson company was suspected was being in possession of imported wood from India without the proper paperwork.  Damn!   I just realized that I own a Gibson Guitar which I purchased in about 1962 in Houston, Texas.   I have no paperwork to show the original location from which the wood in my guitar came from.

 

Oh No!!!   As I am typing this I also remembered that several years back I purchased a hand made pen from a friend.  The body is made from... dare I say..... Ebony which was imported from Africa?   Oh My God!!!  I just wondered, did the friend from whom I purchased the pen pay his federal taxes on this transaction?   Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!   I also have  Fender and Epiphone Guitars... could they also be made of suspected ILLEGAL  WOOD?

 

Let's see now.  We have literally tons of drugs being imported from all over the world;   our border security at best is in shambles;   we have terrorist plots being concocted all over the world; we have elected officials who are suspected criminals;  BUT  our Department of Justice is worried that perhaps the Gibson Guitar Company MIGHT have ILLEGAL  WOOD.   But why should that surprise any of us when we take a look at the U.S. Attorney General and many of his assistants.

 

And I read a couple of reports that the Gibson Guitar Company has made public the records that prove the company has followed all laws and regulations relating to the importation of rosewood from India.

 

Oh, one other item..... the Gibson Guitar Company contributes to Republican candidates rather than Democrat/Socialist/Progressive.  AND the original factory located in Kalamazoo, Michigan had problems with the steel worker's union.

 

Oh, also the computers at the Gibson Guitar Company were seized.   Wonder which part of those computers uses imported wood?

 

BEAM  ME  UP  MR. SCOTT,  THIS  PLANET  IS  NOT  WORTH SAVING.

 

GREEN:
 

Green Jobs.  I have heard Obama and many of his followers as well as Democrat/Progressive/Socialist politician talk about &;Green Job  Creation&;.   I do not know how many of these &;Green Jobs&; that this incompetent administration has had a hand in &;Creating&; but last week we all saw that one of the California companies which manufactured the &;Green Job&; classified product of Solar Panels.  In typical Obama fashion this company was given a $535 MILLION  DOLLAR  Stimulus Loan.  And also in typical Obama Administration fashion the company, Solyndra, declared bankruptcy and  laid off 1,100 workers.  Oh, and this company was visited personally by President Barack Hussein Obama and his Energy Secretary, Steven  Chu.   And some of you wondered where I got off  calling the world's most articulate and intelligent human and his staff, INCOMPETENT?

 

But does a little $535,000,000 mistake slow down this incompetent administration?  Not likely.   Every time you watch Obama speak he is still harping on &;Green Jobs&; and dumping all over the oil and coal industry.

MORE STUFF:

Earlier this week I was listening to a local radio station very early in the morning and a s story came on which said that said that a poll had been conducted, (sorry but I don't remember which polling outfit did the poll) which showed that over 70%  of those polled were convinced that America would experience another Revolution within the next 20 years.  The scasters additionally said that the pollsters came up with the conclusion that those most likely to take part in this &;Revolution&; were:  

 

1)  People Without College Degrees

2)  The Poor

3)  TEA-Party Activists

4)  Extreme Groups

 

They didn't say how this conclusion was reached but if you notice lately anytime you see the TEA Party mentioned, they always refer to the members as &;TEA Party Activists&; and they are always grouped in with &;extremists&; and &;uneducated&;.   I know quite a few folks who are members of the &;TEA Party&; here in San Angelo and most of them are pretty intelligent people with better than average education backgrounds.

 

Also, occasionally I will forget but remember that the TEA in TEA Party is an acronym for Taxed Enough Already.   I have found that at least here locally, the Democrats/Socialists/Progressives have not figured that out quite yet.

-------------------------------------------------

I am sure that most of us have seen the story out of York where a Muslim group ran afoul of the security people at an amusement park where Muslim women were required to either remove their headscarf or not go on a certain ride.  Any headwear was not allowed on the ride.  I watched a couple of film clips in which several really obnoxious;  shrill Muslim women were howling out their displeasure because their husbands had been placed under arrest in front of their children.

 

Now I can appreciate the fact that arresting a parent in front of a child is not the best of situations but keep this in mind;  The Muslim parent decided to fat-ass in front of the children so being arrested in front of the children should necessarily be expected.

 

Also it came to mind that if Muslim women screamed at home like the do on TV, it is a small wonder that they are occasionally chastised by their old man.

------------------------------------------------

Also earlier this week I watched a clip of  Labor Secretary Robert Reich advocated that government spending was the &;only way&; to get out of debt.  I am not entirely exactly which economic theory subscribes to spending or borrowing you way out of debt but I have always found that spending LESS than you take in is usually the most rapid way to erase debt.

 

Also,  please don't be fooled by all these lying  turd politicians in their attempts to explain away their spending habits by giving us a bunch of double talk about budgets.   I have worked on budgets at some level for most of my adult life.  I have not always been successful in getting what I requested in a budget but there is really no big trick to a budget.  It is just dealing with larger amounts of money the larger government agency you work for.  It is really just addition and subtraction with an occasional  need for multiplication:

 

If you are going to need 100 automobiles in a budget year and you get bids and estimates that each vehicle will cost approximately $30,000 per unit then you generally would budget in the neighborhood of $3,000,000.  Then from that point on it is a matter of simple addition and subtraction.   If the vehicles actually cost $28,000 per unit then you would have $200,000 left over.  If this money were not by resolution or law transferred to another line item in the budget then at the end of the fiscal year that money should be returned to the general fund.  But of course at the federal level you have greedy politicians who are not about to turn that money back into the general fund.  They will find some special pork project and that is where it will disappear to.

 

Republicans as well as Democrats are equally guilty of misappropriating funds for their own personal projects.

 

So our answer is to dump the greedy Republicans right along with the greedy Democrats/Progressives/Socialists. 

---------------------------------------------

As I have told you all in the past,  every year there is one morning, generally in the Autumn where I am transformed from a 74 year old;  5'11&;;  aching old dude, into a 6'2&;; 210 pound; 18 year old Running Back for the Hutto Hippos.

 

When I stepped outside this morning it was about 49 degrees with a slight breeze and the transformation took place.  I walked my usual distance but did it about 2 minutes faster than normal.  The a couple of hours later I went to the cardiac rehab place and did some extra stuff there also.  Everyone should feel as good as I did this morning about 6:00 A.M.

August 31st, 2011  GOODNIGHT IRENE / HANGING
Seperator Wednesday - August 31, 2011

 

Hello once more from the Still Dry Still Hot Still Angry Still Intolerant Still Jingoistic Still Firearms Owning West Texas Supporters Of Fossil Fuel Burning Four Wheel Drive Pickup Drivers.

 

GOODNIGHT IRENE:
 

When I was a young junior high student in the early days of most homes owning one black & white TV, (ours was a Silvertone which at the time was made for Sears & Roebuck by RCA), I was first exposed to what would later become known as Tragedy Television.

 

There was a daytime television program called &;Queen For A Day&;.  Housewives all over America were tuned in to this program which I believe came on once a week to begin with and later on was moved to an evening spot so that it could also be viewed by men and children.  The show had several women guests, all of whom had fallen on hard , and the audience by a super accurate &;Applause Meter&; determined which one of these sad ladies would be crowned, &;Queen For A Day&;.   She won all kinds of nice prizes and on occasion someone would feel so sorry for these ladies that they would call in to the program on the &;Heart Line&; and contribute all kinds of goodies to be distributed to the winning contestant.

 

Pretty early in this first real &;Tragedy TV&; program I began to wonder just how it came to be that the studio audience AND the TV viewing audience could get really caught up in these people's problems.  And at a pretty early age I decided that people like to see others who are in worse shape than they are.

 

Now I am not trying to say that those ladies on that program had not fallen on hard or that they did not need a helping hand but my point is that program viewers really like to see the stories of the tragic people.

 

Now let's jump ahead from the early/mid 50's to the 2005 and up TV viewers.  They really have not changed all  that much but their tragedy demands are much larger.  The want to see whole communities and cities and states who have been hit by some tragic circumstances.

 

Enter Hurricane Irene.  I do not intend to minimize the damage and destruction caused by this storm.  I do not wish to minimize the loss felt by the victims of this storm.  And I realize that a disaster such as this does not affect a victim based upon their race;  religion; sex; or any other particular identifying characteristic.

 

And of course the television industry is there to provide us all with coverage of an event such as this.  But do you ever get the feeling that perhaps the various television networks might be blowing the event a bit out of proportion?

 

I was raised on the Texas Gulf Coast and went through some pretty tough weather systems almost every year including a number of hurricanes.  And also keep in mind that there was no such animal as FEMA or any other federal or state agency for that matter who came to the aid of victims who also had lost everything they owned.   But imagine this.  Their neighbors;   friends;  churches;   local charities;  etc... came to their aid.  I guess that in 1961 when Hurricane Carla hit not only Houston but the entire Gulf Coast area of Texas.  I do remember Channel 11, Houston's CBS affiliate covering the storm mainly from Galveston Island.   This is supposedly where Dan Rather got his big break and came to the attention of the national CBS network.   I shall never forgive Hurricane Carla for launching his career.

 

But we saw flooding at a huge level along with terrible wind damage and I do not remember any s agency making that big of a to do over this storm.   Of course we had plenty of warning and people actually took measures to PROTECT  THEMSELVES.   What a novel concept.  I saw roads and bridges washed out.  I saw automobiles carried away by high water and massive vehicle damage by flying objects since some of those Carla winds got up to 180 mph.

 

But let me remind everyone of a couple of facts:

 

1) When you choose to  live on an island at sea level, almost any tropical storm will cause serious flooding.

2) When you choose to live in a city BELOW  SEA  LEVEL and are SURROUNDED  BY  WATER, you need not be surprised by flooding.

3) When you have  ample warning days ahead of the event you should take emergency measures regarding food and water.

4) You need not be surprised to be without electricity for several days during any storm with winds of a significant nature

 

Earlier today I heard a FOX s report calling Hurricane Irene maybe the &;Worst Tragedy In Our History&;....... Excuse me, isn't that what they said about Katrina?

 

And how about the Hurricane which  hit  Galveston, Texas in 1900 where something like 9,000 people were killed?

 

I did notice one major difference in Irene and Katrina, that being the fact that most of those states hit by Irene had Governor's and Mayors who appeared to have a much better grasp of things that did the Louisiana Governor or Mayor Ray Nagin of Orleans.

 

I sincerely hope that none of you lost any relative, friend, or property during Irene.

 

And finally I am positive that the Obama Administration will use this storm and the victims of same to show just exactly how better equipped they are to handle an emergency than was that Great Prince of Evil, George W. Bush. And also keep in mind my point of the excessive coverage of this storm and for all the wrong reasons.

 

One last item, I heard today that many of the people who did have flood insurance WILL NOT be required to pay the extremely high deductable on their policies.   Why?   Because in many locations the winds DID  NOT  ever reach Hurricane Force.

 

HANGING:
 

Earlier today, I heard a Muslim Congressman speaking before a group and making a statement that the &;Tea Party&;  would like to see black people hanging from trees.

 

I have heard lots of Tea Party members speak and I never once heard them speak of hanging black people from trees or anywhere else.  This Congressman was representing the &;Congressional Black Caucus&;.   Wonder if perhaps in his next address he might speak of the Muslim Arab role in enslaving thousands of Africans?   Probably Not.

 

But what he has succeeded in doing is getting the Congressional Black Caucus placed securely on the VARMINT'S  LIST.

 

For the past year or so I have heard all kinds of hate speech attributed to the  &;Tea  Party&; with absolutely NO  PROOF of anything even remotely connected with the &;Tea Party&;.

 

BLAME:
 

A little earlier in the day I was watching part of a Barack Obama speech which he apparently gave sometime earlier today and what a surprise.  He blamed the current poor jobless rate on.... yep, you guessed it,  GEORGE  BUSH.

 

Hey!   While we are at it, why not blame Hurricane Irene on George Bush also?

 

What concerns me is that a lie told often enough will get some support.

 

And of even a bigger concern is the apparent inability of the Republican Party to intelligently answer many of the bogus charges made by Obama  and his herd of incompetents.

MORE STUFF:
 
I have not read former Vice President, Dick Cheney's book but I did watch part of an  interview with him last evening.  I have always liked Dick Cheney and believe him to be a very intelligent man.  I can truthfully say that I have never seen him at a loss for an answer to a question.  He has not been trapped by  the vermin in the mainstream media although they have tried.  

 

I did not catch the entire interview nor have I heard the complete facts on some of the passages in his book in which he supposedly slams Colin Powell.   However I have caught a few comments of Colin Powell, whom I find to be a pure turd.  So other than the fact that I like Dick Cheney and think Colin Powell is a rat, I am basing my opinion not on what they say but rather who takes their particular side in the matter.


I watched Alan Colmes speak about how honorable Colin Powell was and what a loose cannon Dick Cheney was and immediately formed an opinion based upon Colmes' support that Colin Powell had to be in the wrong.  There is no way on God's earth that Alan Colmes could possibly support someone in the right.   A pretty blonde has a better chance of surviving a vacation in Aruba than  Colmes has of me buying anything he says.  A  pure MUTT.

--------------------------------------------

Last week we picked up a student from South Korea.  She is a really smart and beautiful young lady whom we first met last year in January when she was here in San Angelo for a 28 day English Studies class.  She will be attending Angelo State University for the next two years.  And while she will live at one of the dormitories on campus, we will be her host family and see that she has transportation for shopping and visiting.  She is the youngest of three girls and we found out that her Mom and Dad lived in Austin, Texas prior to her birth.  Her Father was on some type of research trip to the U.S.   She speaks quite good English and is a pure joy to be around as are all of those young Korean students.  They are all very respectful of not only their parents but of all adults.   It is quite refreshing to be around kids like that.

--------------------------------------------

I have received a number of e-mails asking be what I think of Texas Governor Rick Perry.  Well I have some really mixed feelings about our Governor.  I think he is pretty impressive in speaking with the public.  I also like his position on Second Amendment Issues.   I was in direct opposition to his  support of the TransTexas Corridor and the NAFTA SuperHighway.  He has been a politician for somewhere around 25 -30 years  which is not a real high priority item with me.  I am tired of professional politicians.  And he was a member of the Democrat Party back in the  1980's.  Also I do know a few folks who know him personally who do not care for him.  I have also spoken with some who like him a lot.  BUT, the bottom line is this;   Would I vote for Rick Perry should he be the Republican Nominee?   The answer to that is YES.  If he were a bad President he would be more desirable then the lyin' varmint who presently holds the office.

FOOTBALL  SEASON  IS  RIGHT  AROUND  THE  CORNER  AND  I  AM  HAPPY  FOR  THAT.

Greetings from a Hot Dry Tired Jingoistic Fed Up SUV Driving Gun Owning Member Of The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.

 

HOME:
 

It is really good to be back home in San Angelo after a couple of thousand miles to Colorado and back.  Of course we were very happy to see our daughter and three of our grandsons as well as our great grandson and a brand great grand daughter.  She was 5 days old when we saw her.  Unfortunately, our youngest grandson was at a Hockey Goalie Camp in Edmonton, Alberta.   We did get to talk with him by phone though.

 

While on our way to Colorado we drove through Southeast Mexico and I thought I had seen some really dry country here in West Texas.  But between the small town of Tatum, NM and Roswell, NM, which is about 70 miles or so, we saw some country which was as dry as I have seen it in the last 38 years.   Where you usually see dry grass there is now only dirt.  It was so dry that small Mesquite bushes were dead.

 

Now I don't know how familiar you might be with Mesquite bushes/trees but they are about as tough as a plant can get.  And they are pretty hard to deceive.  When we lived in Mexico we had several fruit trees in our yard.  Fruit trees are stupid.   In the early spring when the weather would get a little warm the fruit trees would pop into bloom and get our hopes up, the a late freeze would hit and kill all the fruit.  BUT you could usually tell when your last hard freeze had come by watching the Mesquite bushes as they refuse to bloom  and turn green until AFTER the last freeze.

 

A Mesquite bush/tree is plenty hard to get rid of by any means, so when you see a bunch of them dead from lack of moisture, you know it is dry.

 

The reason I say Mesquite tree/bush is because in most of Mexico the Mesquites only attain bush status.  But here in San Angelo where they are able to get plenty of ground water the grow into really large and beautiful trees.  Many people plant them for shad trees.

 

But wet or dry it is good to be back home.   The altitude in Colorado did cause my wife some problems which went away when we got back down to about 4,000 ft. elevation.

 

EDITORIALS:
 

While we were gone I did not get to watch much television and missed a bunch of what was going on world-wide but I thought that going out shooting with a couple of my grandsons was a much better way to spend time other than watching the same folks saying the same thing at the same time every evening.

 

So when I got back to San Angelo I was looking at some of the stuff in our local (Sub) Standard .   Of course some of it had to do with the United States being downgraded from a AAA rating to a AA+ credit rating by Standard & Poor's.  But of course countries like France and several others have a AAA rating.  OK, let's examine that for a moment.   First of all, I would like a show of hands of everyone who believes that France should be rated ahead of the United States in  ANYTHING other than the piss poor military category......... No takers?   What a surprise.  This letter on the editorial page additionally pointed  out that not just the current Congress, but all Congresses since the 1950s have been busy adding to our debt with no cuts in sight.  This brings me to the point of looking at a whole bunch of  faces in the Senate and the House.   And I am not speaking about replacing some Republican &;Moderate&; with a Democrat &;Moderate&;.   I am talking about replacing all liberals and &;moderates&; with true CONSERVATIVES.   And also this letter writer did address the fact that our current situation IS  NOT the fault of the &;Tea Party&;.

 

There was another article speaking of the closing of the Central Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections and noted that it marked the first time ever that the State of Texas has shut down one of their prisons without opening a replacement unit.   The Central Unit was located off Highway 59 between Sugarland, Texas and Richmond, Texas.    This is an old unit and was once state of the art.  I have known many employees of this unit in the past and was friends with a couple of the Wardens in the past.  It was a really well run operation and at one time they had lots of land which bordered on the Brazos River and grew lots of vegetables and they had a dairy as well as a beef an poultry operation.   The employee's dining room was open to all law enforcement officers to eat for 51 cents per meal, anytime of the day or night.  The food was excellent and it was all raised or grown right there on that prison property. 

 

There is an old folk song &;Ain't No More Cane On The Brazos&; which told of the prisoners cutting sugar cane.  Of course Sugarland, Texas was home to the Imperial Sugar Mill which was one of the main employers in that rural area back then.  Now it has been pretty well surrounded and swallowed up by Houston and quite frankly, although the article didn't say, I would imagine that the real estate on which that prison was located had become way too valuable to use as a prison farm.

 

I also read a couple of magazine articles which addressed &;Operation Fast and Furious&; which I am sure you all know is the failed sting operation where firearms were allowed , by our Justice Department, to be purchased and transported across the border into Mexico and placed into the hands of the Mexican Drug Cartels.   Fortunately some ATF Agents with some guts  blew the whistle on this operation which is currently under investigation by Congress.  Of course no one above the Acting Director of the ATF admits to having any knowledge of this operation.   Of course the President of the United States and many elected Congressional Mutts along with the Attorney General are far more interested in preventing honest American citizens from purchasing and owning firearms for protection and sporting purposes, than they could ever be in keeping them out of the hands of Mexican Drug Lords.

 

You can rest assured that had this operation not blown up in their worthless faces, at some point in  time the U.S.  Government would have been raising hell about firearms from America getting across the border into Mexico and being used by Drug Lords.  They would have used this as a springboard to further limit our Second Amendment Rights.  One of the articles accurately pointed out that the real solution to the violence in Mexico will not be be found in restrictions on law-abiding American's  Second Amendment rights.

 

Now I appreciate a good sting operation as well as anybody but this one was doomed from the start as the weapons were destined to cross an International Border into a FOREIGN  COUNTRY WITHOUT  THAT  COUNTRY'S  KNOWLEDGE  OR  COOPERATION......... At least I think it was without the knowledge of the Mexican Government, but who really knows?

 

I would bet that an operation of this magnitude would  necessarily had to have had approval from the President himself.

 

EUROPE:
 

I read an article earlier today which was a copy of a speech made by Vaclav Klaus, who is the President of the Czech Republic, regarding the failure of the &;European Union&; and the Union's monetary system.  One short paragraph stood out to me:  &;In Europe, we have witnessed  a gradual shift  away from liberalizing and removing barriers and towards a massive  introduction of regulation from above,  an ever-expanding  welfare system, and more sophisticated  forms  of  protectionism,  and continuously  growing legal  and regulatory  burdens  on  business.   All of  these weaken and  restrain  freedom, democracy and democratic accountability,  not to  mention economic efficiency,  entrepreneurship and competitiveness.        Europeans today prefer leisure to performance;  security to risk-taking;  paternalism to free markets;  collectivism and group  entitlements to individualism.  

 

Damn!  sort of sounds like what the Obama administration has in mind for us........... doesn't it?

MORE  STUFF:
 

One of the items awaiting my return in my Post Office Box was an official looking large envelope which  had &;Official Documents&; printed on the outside.  I was immediately suspicious so I was not surprised when I opened it and found......... Yep, you guessed it, a questionnaire which had several pages of questions which would require someone with extremely limited thinking abilities to not be able to tell how one would answer the questions by simply knowing a person's political party affiliation.  Then of course at the end of this survey there was the obligatory request for a donation of anywhere from $1,000 down to $25.   Then they had another line saying that if you could not make a donation at this time, would you be able to send in $15 to help defer shipping costs.  And of course the return envelope was to the Republican National Committee offices.

 

So I sat down at my computer and wrote them a reply which included a gentle reminder that I had sent them several  pages of written communications specifically telling the RNC that I thought they had fumbled the ball miserably by supporting John McCain in the 2008 election and that they further blew it with me by appointing Michael Steele as the Chairman of the RNC after the election and I just wondered exactly which part of NO it was which they did not understand.  I of course requested to be removed from their mailing list and  my final closing statement was:

 

&;So in closing I will say that when you send me correspondence requesting funds to spend on, God only knows what, that you are wasting your time....... Or perhaps to put it in more Biblical terms:   Thou Art Wasting Thy Time&;.

 

I must tell you all that I believe we are in big trouble with these boobs in charge of the RNC.

------------------------------------------------

Incidentally, every time I stopped to purchase gas on our trip I said &;Thanks A Lot, Barack&;.   The cheapest gasoline between San Angelo, Texas and Lake City, Colorado was in Roswell, Mexico at $3.23 per gallon.   The most expensive, was of course in Lake City, Colorado at $3.89.  It seems as if last year about this same time unleaded regular was somewhere a little over $2.50 per gallon.   Thanks again Barack.

Hello once more from a Burning Up Rain Starved Angry  Gun Owning Fossil Fuel Burning Four Wheel Drive Pickup Owning Jingoistic Intolerant Conspiratorial  Overtaxed Right Wing Mob Member.

 

As I begin writing today the Dow Jones Average is DOWN about 270 points.  Of course what I know about stock investments you could fit into a thimble.   I do know that if you buy low and sell high that you are pretty well not going to get hurt.  But I imagine that we can get all kinds of information on why the market is in the tank.

 

BLAME - EDITORIAL:
 

I guess that right now the Tea Party is receiving ALL of the blame if you listen to the Far Left/Socialist/Progressive/Democrat hacks.  Hold on!  Let me re-phrase that since all of the people who have decided to blame the Tea Party for the state of our financial woes ARE NOT Democrats.  They are merely Progressive/Moderate/Socialist but are members of the Republican Party.

 

So before I go on, let me say that when the  Tea Party is getting the blame from the Democrats/Socialists/Progressives AND the Moderate/Liberal/Republicans then they must be doing something really  right and when I say right I mean CORRECTLY.

 

We were all told that IF there were no Bi-Partisan agreement reached on the debt ceiling that the Credit Rating of the United States would most assuredly be DOWNGRADED.

 

So against the wishes of most members of the Tea Party, a Bi-Partisan agreement was reached and the debt ceiling was raised.  And lo and behold, what happened?   Our credit rating was downgraded from AAA to AA+.

 

I personally didn't give a damn about the debt ceiling being raised as I don't believe our nation could afford to not raise it.  BUT what did we get for caving in before the last minute?   We got some supposed spending cuts which are all bull shit.  Most of them are not cuts except on paper.  The one area in which we could ill afford to cut is our Defense Budget but of course the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists thought differently.

 

I thought that if the Republicans had held out until the very last second that they could have gotten way more spending cuts.   Not increasing spending in a particular area IS  NOT  A  SPENDING  CUT.  IT IS  LEAVING THE ALREADY HIGH SPENDING AT THE PRESENT LEVEL.   A spending CUT is actually decreasing the  amount of money spent in a particular area.   And I am sure we have all received multiple e-mails showing many areas in which our government spends BILLIONS each year with very little return for these expenditures.

 

BUT  OF  COURSE  the TEA  PARTY is to blame for all the ills which have befallen our country.   But my question is how can a part of a Conservative Movement exercise all that much control when the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists  control the Senate and the White House and the Print Media and the biggest part of the rest of the media?

 

A prime example of this appeared in this morning's edition of the (Sub) Standard on the editorial page.  This little objective piece was the main editorial  article under &;OUR  OPINION&;.  The lead headline was:  &;NICE - GUY  POLITICS A  FAILED  STRATEGY&;    The  very first paragraph should give most intelligent readers a brief idea of the political leanings of the (Sub) Standard editorial staff.   And for your perusal, here it is:

 

&;President Barack Obama came to our ongoing political brawl armed with a rational, balanced manner,  disarming humor, a sense of fair-mindedness and fair play.   He was almost overeager to reason with his opponents.   He's getting killed for it, and it's not doing the country any good, either.&;

 

One must seriously wonder if somewhere there is a parallel Universe and in that Universe there is a Planet Earth with a United States who have as the President  a President Barack Hussein Obama who is a DIRECT  OPPOSITE of the mob run varmint who presides over our country.  That must be the answer as anyone with even basic intelligence could not describe our President Barack Hussein Obama.

 

And speaking of Barack Hussein Obama, I have heard him blame George W. Bush;  The Tsunami in Japan;   The Tea Party;   The Republican controlled House of Representatives and almost anyone or anything else other than himself and his absurd cabinet and the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist  Party.

 

This article also contained a line which I did not quite understand:

 

&;Obama has ducked fights over his 2012 budget&;............  WHAT  2012  BUDGET?   A budget indicates that there are funds appropriated and those funds are spent upon the items for which they were intended.   That his not been the case of the Obama Administration and in all fairness has not been the rule in the George Bush Administration or the Republican Controlled Congress and of course certainly not the Democrat Controlled Congress.

 

But let's not put the blame where it rightfully belongs.   No let's blame the Tea Party.   But keep in mind..... look at who is doing the blaming.  Anytime you have the most liberal President in my lifetime and the likes of Harry Reid;  Nancy Pelosi;  Barney Frank;  John Kerry;  Barbara Boxer; Debbie Wasserman Shultz.... and the list goes on,  trying to demonize you then you have to know that what you are doing is not only RIGHT but must be working.   So to the Tea Party folks I say..... KEEP  IT  UP.

 

PHONY:
 

Now I believe that we have as many phony politicians presently holding office than I can remember in the past 60 years.   I say that because it was about 60 years ago that I began to really pay attention to what some of these elected mutts were saying AND what they were doing in Washington, D.C. which affected us all.

 

But I must say that one of the all time great phonies, and I mean that in the most negative manner, is ARIZONA  SENATOR  JOHN  MC CAIN.

 

I have watched McCain over the past week and watched him continually  refer to Democrat/Progressive/MUTTS as &;His very good friend&;.  I am sorry but I cannot be very good friends with people who oppose everything in which I believe.  I can understand being friends with people with whom I occasionally disagree, but I cannot be friends,  much less very good friends with people who are intent on selling our country down the river.   But apparently this does not enter into John  McCain's  thought process.   I feel as if I can speak ill of an Arizona Senator since I also have NO  USE  for one of our Texas Senators,  Kay Bailey Hutchison.

 

What really got  me steamed this week was McCain referring to the Tea Party members as &;Hobbits&; on the Senate floor.   Now for those of you residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco, &;Hobbits&; are fictional creatures of diminutive size who create mischief and generally live in holes in the middle-earth.  And Senator McCain suggested that they return there.

 

Since the Tea Party voters are more than likely largely responsible for the House of Representatives  now having a Republican majority and also for the Republicans gaining Senate seats, I would be a little more generous with my description of them.  But then again, while there are opinions to the contrary, I am not a horses ass and John McCain is.

 

Where he really showed his true colors was when he was asked about the statement and all he could say was that he was &;Sorry&; if someone misunderstood his statement but he refused to apologize for making it to begin with.   Senator Rand Paul had a retort for Mr. McCain, &;I'd rather be a Hobbit than a Troll.&;   Way to go Rand.

 

Also in one of the editions of the (Sub) Standard  was an article by Martin Schram who writes political analysis for Scripps Howard s Service.   This alert observer wrote;  &;Happily, the old John McCain rides again.&;  And one of Schram's  compliments for this phony Republican was the fact that like a true &;Maverick&;, John McCain went against his own Republican Party in calling for a &;Balanced Budget Amendment&; to the U.S. Constitution.

 

OK let's examine that for a moment.  Most families have to live within their budgetary means so why should we expect less from our government?   How can someone hold public office and not be in favor of a &;Balanced Budget&;?  Of course NONE of the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists appear to favor this type of thinking and apparently Senator McCain is in line with his &;Good Friends on the opposite side of the aisle&;.

 

People of Arizona,  get rid of this turd.

On the subject of the drought, particularly here in West Texas, my wife got some information from a neighbor which I would like to share with you all.   This neighbor is retired but works part-time at the livestock sale barn here in Tom Green County.   This lady has normally been working two days a week but is now working four and five days per week.   The reason being that local ranchers who raise cattle;   sheep;  or goats are being forced to sell out ALL  OF  THEIR  LIVESTOCK.   The reason being a critical shortage of water.

 

The ranch owners say that their stock tanks have dried completely up and in some instances many of their water wells have gone dry.  And of course the cost of feed for the livestock is unbelievably high.   So where are the buyers coming from if Texas is so dry?

 

North Dakota;  South Dakota;  Minnesota;  Montana;  Iowa;  Nebraska;  and other locations where there is no water shortage.  Our local farm and ranch economy has really headed South and there is no rain in sight.   We have set a record here in San Angelo, not only of days of over 100 degree heat in a row but total days over 100 degrees for a year.

-------------------------------------------------------

Last Saturday, I watched the Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies from Canton, Ohio.    The inductees were:

 

Richard Dent - DE - Bears

Marshall Faulk - RB - Colts;  Rams

Les Richter -  LB - Rams

Ed Sabol - NFL FILMS  FOUNDER

Deion Sanders - CB -  Falcons; 49 ers;  Cowboys;  Redskins;  Ravens

Shannon Sharpe - TE - Broncos;  Ravens

Chris Hanburger - LB - Redskins

 

Of course Mr. Sabol did a great job from his wheel chair and was most deserving of this honor.

Richard Dent - did a good job and his small college band attended the ceremonies.  I thought that was pretty cool.

Les Richter - was inducted post-humously - I can remember him from my early days of watching the NFL.  He was a great player

Shannon Sharpe -  He did a fairly good job but was a little long winded

Marshall Faulk - Showed class and did a good job.  He was really an exceptional and COMPLETE  running back

 

Deion Sanders -  Deion Sanders was not only long winded but showed what a self centered jerk he really is.  Now I am  not saying that Deion Sanders was not an exceptional athlete and an exceptional player.  He had so much speed that  he could actually sucker quarterbacks into throwing in his area and before they could realize it, Sanders would be there waiting for the ball.  He also had some real success in returning those interceptions  for touchdowns as well as being an exceptional  kickoff and punt return specialist.   I am not questioning his ability as he was truly exceptional.   But after his speech was over, he pulled out a blue &;do-rag&; and tied it around the head of his bronze bust which will be placed into the Hall.  I really thought that was bush league bull shit and I thought that it was an insult to all the other people who have been inducted into this place of honor.   Once again,  Deion Sanders has a lot of Barack Obama in him and is a self centered jerk.

 

Chris Hanburger -  Now here was a really class act.   I remember watching Chris Hanburger play for the Washington Redskins during the days of the old &;Over The Hill Gang&;  which included Diron Talbert;  Bill Brundage; Dave Butz; Ron McDole;  Jack Pardee;  Billy Kilmer;  Larry Brown;  Christian Adolph &; Sonny&;  Jurgensen  III;  Pat  Fischer;  Kenny Houston and lots of other old castoff players that no other team wanted.  There were two week ends a year that I was not a Redskin fan and that was when they played the Dallas Cowboys.  The rest of the time I was pulling for those old guys and I even liked George Allen except for those two week ends.

 

Also while watching a Monday Night Football game there was a particularly hard hit by a defensive player on an offensive running back.  This brought Howard Cosell  to ask this question of Don Meredith;  &;Dandy, who is the hardest...........&; and that was as far as he got when Meridith came back with Chris Hanburger.  Meridith said that Hanburger was the toughest dude in football.

 

Last Saturday,  Chris Hanburger, who still looks like he would get with you pretty good if you wanted, made the statement that he didn't feel like he was a real Hall  of  Famer.   He said that the real Hall of Famers were the men and women in our military and our policemen and fire fighters.   He said that these people were who he admired.

 

Again, a class act.

------------------------------------------------

I received a couple of e-mails this past week relating some figures given by Dave Ramsey on one of his radio or TV programs.  As most of you know, Mr. Ramsey has some rather unique ideas on family finances;  like  DO  NOT  SPEND  MORE  THAN  YOU  MAKE.  Anyway Mr. Ramsey broke down our current national financial problem as if our country were a family.   Here are his figures:

 

Annual Income -  $58,000.

Annual Expenditures - $75,000.

Credit Card Debt - $327,000.

 

Proposed  Spending Cuts - $3,000 Annually down to $72,000.

 

This is our federal budget and debts.

 

So again I must ask the Varmint Senator from Arizona;   What is wrong with a balanced budget?

 

And not only McCain but every single elected official or appointed official who is responsible for this situation.... Democrat and Republican and Independent.

-----------------------------------------------------

I heard earlier today that former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton might be putting his hat in the ring for the Republican nomination.  I am afraid that it might be a little late but maybe not.

 

I have never seen John Bolton asked a question for which he did not have an answer.  I believe he is the absolute smartest American we have on foreign policy matters.   And once again I have never seen him stumped for an answer to questions asked by media mutts.  And although he was the U.N. Ambassador, he was no big fan of the United Nations which makes me a big fan of his.

-----------------------------------------
We will be leaving for Colorado near the end of this week and I will not have access to a computer.  The last time I was gone for an extended period there were so many e-mails came in that it filled my mailbox.

 

So with that in mind I am going to ask everyone to PLEASE  REMOVE  ME  FROM   YOUR  FORWARD  LISTS  UNTIL AT LEAST AUGUST  24TH.

 

See you all in a couple of weeks.

August 3rd, 2011  THE DEAL
Seperator Wednesday - August 3, 2011

 

Greetings from a still hot and dry West Texas Anti-Deal Making Pro Gun Owning  Fossil Fuel Using Association Of Right Wing Conspirators.

 

THE  DEAL:
 

At this point, I really do wish I could speak intelligently about &;The Deal&; but try as I may, I still do not know the complete content of &;The Deal&;.  I do know that I have heard Republicans claim that they won;   and I have heard Democrats/Socialists/Progressives say that they won;  and I have heard both sides claim that the other side won;  and of course I have heard both sides claim that President Barack Hussein Obama did both... lost and won..

 

So it becomes readily apparent to me that neither the Democrats/Socialists/Progressives OR the Republicans understand &;The Deal&; any batter than most of us.

 

I do know that when Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin and Barney Frank and John McCain and several more prominent Senators and Congresspersons seem to be pleased with &;The Deal&; then I must in good faith believe that the American People just got screwed big time.

 

Just to refresh everyone about some of the goings on over the past few days, I was watching a FOX s.... Breaking s Story.   They took us right to the Senate floor allegedly to watch and listen to these 100 varmints vote on &;The Deal&;.   BUT, what we got was a great deal of time being wasted by these elected slugs in &;Thanking the Pages&; for their tireless efforts.   Of course, in reality, the Pages probably did do more actual work than any of the elected buffoons.  But I didn't view the &;Thanking of the Pages&; as a real show stopper insofar as s went.

 

Now I am sure that most of you know that I am not a huge Gabrielle Giffords fan.   I am sorry that she was shot and I feel badly for her family but it seems to me as if the media made this multiple murder and attempted murder incident more about &;Gabby&; than they did about the people who were brutally murdered in that incident.

 

Try as I may, I cannot lose sight of the fact that Congresswoman Gabrielle &;Gabby&; Giffords  was more concerned with our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq fighting a more ecologically sound war than she was about the lives being lost by our military.  And from a number of pieces of correspondence I have received from Arizona residents,  &;Gabby&; is ultra-liberal and that would not raise her up on the popularity totem pole in my village.

 

I also have recognized that apparently damn near every person who supported &;The Deal&; are a bit deficient in their math skills.  As I said before, I still do not really know what all is in or has been stricken from &;The Deal&; nor do I know how much will be changed prior to reaching the desk of the most incompetent U.S. President in my lifetime.   But what I do understand is that when you leave spending the same as it was last year, then that is NOT  A  CUT.    I do understand that when Senators and Congressmen submit proposals with some of their main &;Cuts&; completely dependent upon the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq coming to a complete end over a certain time period the the possibility exists that those wars WILL NOT end and the huge cuts in spending caused by those two wars will either remain OR will not be as drastic as has been purported.

 

While I am still on a roll bitching about the House and the Senate I must recall one s clip which I was watching where Dick Durbin was speaking at length about the raising of the debt ceiling and it became John McCain's (R-AZ) turn to make a statement and he started out with his goofy little snicker, which reminds me of either &;Bevis&; or &;Butthead&;, I don't remember which, and began his statement speaking about &;My good close friend&; referring to Dick Durbin, who in my opinion is a bigger turd than McCain.   But what grates on me is the fact that McCain claims to be a Republican.   Well if John McCain is an example of what the Republican Party has become, then count my ass out.

 

I am still waiting for someone in government to explain to the American people just exactly how &;The Deal&; is going to trim our national debt.

 

If our government keeps on pouring huge amounts of money into the United Nations;  Foreign Aid to countries who hate us;  Social Programs here in  the United States.... WHICH  DO  NOT  WORK;   Increasing the size of our federal government;  Increasing our dependence upon foreign energy sources;   Standing in the way of our American business with useless regulations and huge regulatory agencies;  and forming Bi-Partisan Committees to solve our financial problems, then our ability to cut down the amount of our national debt is a fairy tale.

 

And keep in mind that there is some question on whether or not this rule by committee is even Constitutional. 

 

Why is it that Progressives/Socialists/Democrats always want to make some of the largest budget cuts in areas which will potentially negatively effect the safety of our country.  The people who have laid it on the line ever since I have been on this earth seem to be the people who will feel the largest cuts in some of these poorly thought out plans.   Now for those of you presently residing in &;The People's Republic of San Francisco&;  I am referring to the United States Military.

 

I watched and listened to several s programs which pointed out that every branch of our military are way down in their strength and equipment.  I remember seeing one report on TV which showed that in 1990 there were something like 360 strategic bombers in our arsenal and that there are now less than half.   According to this report the same was true regarding our Navy which was down to pre-World War I levels.

 

And keep in mind that we can ill afford to become a second rate military power.  I never thought I would live to see the day when our military was in this type of situation but when you have complete incompetence at our federal leadership levels then anything is possible.

 

I was watching one of the FOX s programs which featured a panel and on this panel was a Democrat strategist, who actually seems to have thoughts on his own other than thoughts inspired by Barack Hussein Obama.  I cannot recall this man's name but at the end of this panel discussion he made a statement which I found to be absolutely true and found it refreshing coming from the mouth of a Democrat.   Regarding our elected officials in Both Houses of Congress he made this statement:

 

&;THEY HAD RATHER RULE  IN  HELL  THAN  SERVE IN HEAVEN&;.   I thought that pretty well summed up the state of our federal elected officials.

 

And before I forget, since Barney Frank (Candy Ass) and Chuck  Schumer (Candy Ass) and Dick Durbin (Candy Ass) and several other far left idiots have decided to brand the &;Tea Party&; movement as a bunch of &;Terrorists&; then count me in as one of those also.  Just because there are some folks who have decided not to give in at every possible moment to the left wing radicals that does not mean that they are &;Terrorists&;.

 

I was listening to a radio program earlier and the host was mentioning that when you see Vladimir Putin in a photo he is riding mountain bikes;  riding horses;  climbing mountains;  participating in shooting sports but when you see photos of Barack Hussein Obama, he is riding a girl's bicycle.  I am tired of whining and crying and putting up with a bunch of sissy stuff.  Let's get some strong leadership in The White House;  The Senate and The House of Representatives.

MORE  STUFF:
 

Here in San Angelo we have an old military fort, Fort Concho, which has been maintained and is open to the public.   Each month they publish a sletter giving some items regarding the history of the fort as well as the history of the military back in the 1800s.  They often include articles regarding old military firearms or perhaps a description of a particular battle and facts about Army life when the fort was first built.  They have lots of special events there also.   Generally they publish something in our history which happened on each day of the month.  And on occasion they will publish a list of trivial facts.  Last month they publish a list of little known facts.  One of them caught my eye as it is something which is near and dear to my heart.  So here is the fact:

 

&;An estimated 14 million JUNK telephone calls are made every day in the United States&;......  I  am not sure but I think this estimate might be a bit on the light side.  I personally receive nearly that many each day and I know that I am not the only one in that boat.  

 

I have tried being nice and requesting that they remove my name and phone number from their call list.   That has not worked.

 

So I reverted to my basic instincts and tried being nasty and intolerant and that does not seem to be effective.

 

I have found that the air horn gives me satisfaction but it is pretty loud.

 

So I have finally decided to just employ what I call my Democrat approach to these junk phone calls.  And that is just to make up stuff and lie about damn near everything about which they ask.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

As I  have stated before, I could care less about the NFL Owners and Players deal.  Had they cancelled the season,  it would have set just fine with me.   And just remember who you got this from.  I predict that it won't be too many more years that you will be able to get to watch your favorite NFL team play on Sunday.  I am convinced that we are headed for a pay as you watch program before too many more years pass.  Now while I have always liked Peyton Manning I cannot imagine paying him $90,000,000 over a five year period.  They have gone way past off the chart on these salaries.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Is it just me or is Michelle Bachman beginning to sound a bit like Hillary Clinton?   She cannot open her mouth without reminding us that she has a law degree and that she and her husband were both Tax Attorneys.  I am liking her less and less the more she speaks.

------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched a business owner being interviewed the other day on FOX s and he flat out said that the overbearing regulations and  out of control regulatory agencies here in the United States  are the main reason that companies are moving their manufacturing businesses overseas.  I am not sure that is the only reason but I must admit that perhaps &;Pogo Possum&; was right when he said .....&;We have met the enemy and he is us.&;

------------------------------------

Also, just in listening to some financial and economy experts speak about  our country's economic situation, I would not be surprised at all to see some more &;Stimulus&; funds being doled out in the future.   That is, of course, if the Bi-Partisan Committee of 3 Democrat/Socialist/Progressive Senators and 3 Democrat/Socialist/Progressive Representative along with 3 Republican Senators and 3 Republican Representatives can find their collective asses with both hands and realize that here is another good way to steal some tax dollars.

 

I will leave you with this final statement............... NIGERIAN  BANKERS ARE  MORE  TRUSTWORTHY  THAN  OUR ELECTED  OFFICIALS.

July 27th, 2011  THREATS / CLICHES / ENTITLEMENTS
Seperator Wednesday- July 27, 2011

 

Greetings once more from the Record Setting Heat Headquarters For The Hopelessly Jingoistic Draconian Thinking Gun Owning Fossil Fuel Burning Radical Vast Right Wing Obstructionists.

 

THREATS:
 

A few weeks back, the world's most articulate and intelligent human, BARACK  HUSSEIN  OBAMA, told us that this was not the time for threats but rather a time to come together as Americans.   Now while all that might look good in print and while it might really sound good, it is far easier to say than to actually do, particularly when more than half of our current financial problems have been brought on by the very people whom we now expect to fix it.

 

So far during this week I have heard Obama and quite a few of his flunkies continue to threaten American Seniors and Military Personnel with the possibility of not receiving their paychecks.   Also now added to these two groups are Veterans.

 

We keep hearing Obama and Harry Reid speak of &;Working Together&; and &;Bi-Partisan efforts&; and &;Compromise&;.   But when the Republican House works up an actual piece of legislation and we hear the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid make the statement that the House  legislation is &;Dead On Arrival&; and promises to not even bring the bill up for a Senate vote........... then one must ask themselves;   Who are the real OBSTRUCTIONISTS?    When President Barack Hussein Obama promises to VETO any legislation sent to his office which does not specifically contain some of his liberal/progressive/socialist wishes,  then it looks to me as if he along with the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist controlled Senate are the real culprits.

 

Don't get me wrong,  I blame many of the Republican Representatives and Senators for the mess we are in at present.   Just because someone has an &;R&; following their title does not mean that they are without blame.   And to take it a step further,  many Republican voters are at fault for believing that all Republicans are Conservatives.   Please take not of the so called Republicans now holding a secure spot on the Varmint's  List.

 

I am not sure exactly everything contained in the so called &;Boehner Plan&;  but I do know that at some point it calls for appointing another Bi-Partisan Committee to oversee the workings.   That's just what we need....... more committees.   I cannot recall the title of this committee but I am sure that it would be a &;Blue Ribbon Panel&;.   Actually I would rather put my faith in a committee made up of &;The Mystic Knights Of The Sea&; (Amos 'n Andy);   OR  &;The Royal Order Of Water Buffaloes&; (Fred Flintstone & Barney Rubble) OR &;The Chipmunks&;  (Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton)  OR  &;The Leopards&; (Howard Cunningham; Happy Days)  OR my personal favorite, &;The Sons Of The Desert&; (Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy)

 

Actually what this country needs is for the people to get angry enough to put the boot to a bunch of these incompetent, self-serving idiots and replace them with some other people who realize that these jobs are temporary and that they can be replaced in pretty short order.

 

But as long as the Main Stream Media keeps on putting out the garbage that anything other than an Obama-inspired idea is just more Radical Right-Wing Extremist Tea-Party blather and as long as the American people continue to pay attention to these various polls then we had just better shut up and learn to live under a totally  Socialist form of government.

 

And you must wonder if perhaps one of the Obama flunkies ever borrows a line from Oliver Hardy and says;   &;Well Barack..... here's another fine mess you've gotten me into&;

 

CLICHES:
 

Earlier in his reign as President of the United States, almost every day you could hear Barack Hussein Obama or one of his multitude of butt boys talking about &;Bold&; action and &;Swift&; action or that our course of action should be enacted both &;Boldly and Swiftly&;.    Then they got pretty fed up with that and then began to talk about &;Making the Tough Decisions&;.    And of course the &;Tough Decisions&; should be made both &;Boldly&; and  Swiftly.   Ah, but all that is out the window now..............someone came up with the &;Balanced Approach&; theme and that is all that this highly incompetent president can say.  He wore that little cliché completely out during his last national speech..... or at least I think it was his last one.  But he makes so damn many it is hard to be completely sure.

 

ENTITLEMENTS:
 

Every time I hear someone talk about &;Entitlements&; and immediately throw Social Security into that category, I am overcome with an uncontrollable to slap the crap out of someone.

 

As I look back through my working career, I first paid into Social Security from 1956 - 1958.   The from 1958 to 1970 I did not pay regularly into Social Security as the City of Houston had their own retirement system and had never elected to participate in the Social Security Program.   Then in the latter part of 1970 until September, 2003 I paid into Social Security and actually paid into the system even while drawing Social Security benefits while working part time.

 

My total years paying into the Social Security System totaled 35 years AND keep in mind that my employers also matched my payments into the system.  So between my personal payments and my employer's payments into the system UNDER  MY  NAME, I had quite a bit paid into this system which some have suddenly decided is an &;Entitlement&;.  When you add up 35 years of payments into the system plus the interest on my and my employer's contributions  calling this an &;Entitlement&; is a bit far fetched.

 

Actually what most people view as &;Entitlements&;  are funds received by those who have CONTRIBUTED  NOTHING  INTO  THE  SYSTEM.   Dare I say it?   How about the &;Food Stamp  Program&;?   How about all of the monthly checks sent out to HUD  recipients?  How about   medical payments made for medications and treatments incurred by ILLEGAL  ALIENS?

 

Please don't throw entitlement up in my face when our government wastes BILLIONS  every month on welfare recipients who are accepting checks under false pretexts.   How about money sent to foreign countries who in turn spit in our faces?

 

SOLUTIONS:
 

I know that several in the past I have written about the ancient Greek City States in general and the Spartans in particular.  It was an unusual society to say the least.  And I am not for a moment advocating adopting their customs in their entirety but they did have some things which I thought showed some real merit.

 

Of course the Spartans were a warrior nation.  ALL  male children at a really young age were sent to military camps  where their entire adolescent years were spent learning how to be a soldier.   Everything I read indicates that damn near all of the males serving in the military were homosexual, BUT don't be fooled by that as they were plenty bad.  After they reached adulthood they would be sent back to mate with selected females and then they returned to the Military Camp.   All of the men had long hair and they were all very vain and spent quite a bit of time  making themselves beautiful.

 

I read one account of an individual who took some Persians spies to check out the Spartan forces prior to the Battle of Thermopylae and when the Persians saw the Spartan soldiers all brushing their long beautiful hair and prancing around in long flowing capes he laughed and indicated that these people would be no match for the Persians.  He was informed by a Spartan traitor that he was not only wrong but dead wrong as this was the Spartan ritual before a battle to the death and that these people had absolutely no fear of death and were prepared for anything.  And of course as it turned out the Spartans were defeated at Thermopylae but extracted a huge death toll among the Persians.   So while the Spartan soldiers might have been sissies..... they were bad ass sissies.

 

The one Spartan custom which I really liked would be the answer to our prayers here in the United States.   When a Spartan was elected to a position in their government he served a certain amount of time, and I believe their terms were about two years and then they left office.  Now here is where it gets good.     When an elected official had completed his term,  HE  WAS  PUT  ON  TRIAL AND IF IT WERE DETERMINED  THAT HE HAD DONE A GOOD JOB  THEN ALL WAS  WELL.............. BUT  IF IT  WAS DETERMINED  THAT HE HAD DONE A  POOR  JOB  OR HAD BEEN SELF SERVING THEN  DEPENDING  UPON  THE SEVERITY   OF  HIS  CRIME.... HIS  SENTENCE  WAS  DETERMINED.

 

I   LIKE  THAT  CONCEPT.   At least half of these elected idiots we have presently in office  should  be  under indictment.   How about leaving Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds and the rest of these baseball players alone and start trying  some of the REAL  CROOKS  in our society?   That  would be an excellent  start  into solving our current  problems.

&;Too many policies, programs and institutions are judged by what they are supposed to do, rather than by what they actually do and the consequences of their actions.  The  United  Nations, for example, survives as a glorious idea, despite how corrupt, counterproductive and even dangerous its actions are.&;............. THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;The national debt-ceiling law should be judged by what it actually does, not by how good an idea it seems to be.   The one thing that the national debt-ceiling has never done is to put a ceiling on the rising national debt.  Time and time again, for years on end, the national debt-ceiling has been raised whenever the national debt gets near whatever the current ceiling might be.............. Regardless of what it is supposed to do, what the national debt-ceiling actually does is enable any administration to get all the political benefits of runaway spending for the benefit of their favorite constituencies -- and then invite the opposition party to share the blame, by either raising the national debt-ceiling, or by voting for unpopular cutbacks in spending or increases in taxes.&;.......................  THOMAS  SOWELL

OTHER   STUFF:
 

Last week while criticizing a Republican plan designed to avert a government default, Barack Hussein Obama that the plan was nothing more than a &;Partisan Three Ring Circus&;.     HEY  BARACK!   Where, other than at a circus, would you expect to find a bunch of CLOWNS?

-----------------------------------------------

I heard that General Electric is moving all of their medical imaging operations to CHINA.   Let's see now.  Who is CEO of General Electric?  Oh yeah, JEFFERY  IMMELT.   Jeffery Immelt is also an advisor to President Barack Hussein Obama in the area of job creation.  He is also on our Varmint's List.

---------------------------------------------

I recently purchased a blood sugar testing device from One-Touch.   The device comes with the meter;   test strips;   lancing device;  and lancets.   This was the and improved testing kit.   The only problem I had was that the lancing device was so weak that the lancets (needles) would more than likely  not strike your fingertip hard enough to pierce your skin.  So I had to remove the safety tip and just try to guess how far away from my fingertip to hold the lancing device.   I averaged getting enough blood with this device on about my seventh try and I have to test three a day.

 

So I called in the company and told them that I was less than impressed with their lancing device and did they  perhaps have another style device with a stronger spring.  The told me that they did and that they would send me one with some larger lancets.  After a couple of days I got a package in the mail and found some larger lancets and an identical twin to my useless lancing device  and of course the larger lancets do not fit that device.  

So I contacted them again and was running a bit short on patience and told them of their error and the said that they would send me the larger and stronger device.  A couple of days later a device with a much stronger spring and higher strength settings arrived.   Now while the other devices would barely puncture the skin....... this device would knock a hole in the skull of a cape buffalo bull.  So there is a bit more pain involved but I don't have to stick myself 6 or 7 on each attempt to check my blood sugar.

-----------------------------------------------

A couple of days back the Turner Classic Movie Channel aired one of my all time favorite movies;  &;The Four Feathers&;  which was related to the British Campaign against the Dervishes and the Fuzzies in the Sudan.   Great movie.  Lots of action.   Loads of great looking extras in the huge battle scenes.  This movie was made the first time in 1939 and had Ralph Richardson and C. Aubrey Smith who were both great British actors.  I love movies about the old British Army.... &;Charge Of The Light Brigade&;;  &;Gunga Din&;; &; Zulu&;;  &; Zulu Dawn&;.   Great stuff.

July 20th, 2011  GANGS / LIES / COMPROMISE
Seperator   Wednesday- July 20, 2011

 

Hello from a still hot Headquarters For Firearms Owning Fossil Fuel Burning Four Wheel SUV Driving Jingoistic Angry West Texas Mob Members.

 

GANGS AND COMPROMISE:
 

When I turn my computer completely off and then turn it back on the next morning I  receive a page which advises me that my Memory Information Is In An UNGANGED MODE.   Now I am not sure exactly what that means but I appreciate the computer letting me know that my information mode is  UNGANGED. 

 

Whenever I think of &;Gangs&;  I generally have thought of the various street gangs  which are present in many cities other than Los Angeles,  York City, or Chicago.   But now it seems as if we must be concerned about &;Gangs&; in our federally elected officials.

 

I am speaking of the &;Gang Of Twelve&; which first reared its ugly head when George Bush was President.   This &;Gang Of Twelve&; consisted of six Republicans and six Democrats/Progressives/Socialists and their primary task was to make that awful &;Comprehensive Immigration Reform&; palatable to the American people.  Now here is this &;Bi-Partisan Gang Of Twelve&; as it appeared back in about 2005 or so:

 

REPUBLICANS:
 

Lincoln Chaffee - RI

Susan Collins - ME

Mike DeWine - OH

Lindsey Graham - SC

John McCain - AZ

Olympia Snowe - ME

 

Let me say at this point that I do not have much recollection of Mike DeWine but the rest of these so called Republicans are RINOs and either have been or are at present on the VARMINT  LIST.

 

DEMOCRATS:
 

Robert Byrd - WVA

Daniel Inouye - HI

Mary Landrieu - LA

Joe Lieberman - CT

Ben Nelson - NE

Mark Pryer - AR

*Ken Salazar - CO served on this collection of turds but his spot was filled by Mark Pryer

 

I know nothing about Pryer or DeWine other than they were serving on a Senate group with complete jerks  which only leads me to doubt their sanity.

 

Now if this &;Gang Of Twelve&; were not enough, (incidentally they had their  Comprehensive Immigration Reform stuffed up their backsides), we are now subjected to the antics of a brand &;Gang Of Six&;.   Who are they, you ask?

 

REPUBLICANS&;
 

Saxby Chambliss - GA

Mike Crapo - ID

Tom Coburn -  OK

 

DEMOCRATS
 

Mark Warner - VA

Dick Durbin -  IL

Kent Conrad - ND

 

I have no knowledge of Chambliss or Crapo but I generally liked what Tom Coburn stood for on most issues.

I have no knowledge of the character of Kent Conrad but he has allied himself with two real turds.

 

And of course this  &;Gang Of Six&; is tasked with coming up with a Bi-Partisan compromise regarding the debt ceiling and suggestions for cutting government spending.  I have not heard what their final plan was but I did hear on a s report this morning that President Barack Hussein Obama and Senator Dick Durbin viewed this compromise with a favorable outlook.

 

That is all I need to know.  If Obama and Durbin are in favor of it, I am against it.  I cannot imagine either of those two vermin coming up with anything that I could accept.

 

And while I am on the subject, I heard some liberal hacks on several RV s programs last week making the statement that the reason those Congressmen/women and Senators were elected was to compromise.

 

SORRY!   I do not vote for a candidate and expect them to &;COMPROMISE&; on every issue.  I realize that on some issues compromise might be acceptable but I vote for those candidates with the expectation that they will DO  THE  RIGHT  THING and that means standing up to the liberals/progressives and not giving in on important issues.

 

So at this point, I am no more impressed with the &;Gang Of Six&; than I was with the &;Gang Of Twelve&; and it appears that many of the Republicans who have had the balls to call themselves CONSERVATIVES will end up giving in to the Obama crowd.  If they do, they need to see the villagers at their doors with pitchforks and torches.   We have had enough caving in to these mutts.

 

I guess what I am proposing is that the Senate take the same position as my computer does and get into &;THE  UNGANGED  MODE&;.

 

LIES:
 

A couple of days back on the editorial page of the   (Sub) Standard there was an article written by a guest columnist named  Steve Tefas.  The bold headlines on this article was:

&;Obama's campaign statements inconsistent with the truth&;.   I thought that &;Inconsistent with the truth was a bit of a sugar coating when I think they were outright LIES.

 

He did point out that Obama's promise that the health care debate and discussions would be on C-SPAN and that Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats did most of their work behind closed doors.   He made reference to the Stimulus Package and Unemployment and that in just over two years under Obama's leadership the national debt has gone from $9 Trillion to $14 Trillion.   He also pointed out that instead of reducing unemployment that it has actually gone upward and now stands at approximately 9.2%.  I have heard several economists say that this figure is actually a bit low and realistically the unemployment rate stands closer to 12% than 9.2%.

 

Mr. Tefas additionally pointed out in this article that Obama  stated that our oil production was at the highest level in years.  But he also pointed out that our domestic oil production has dropped from 9 million barrels a day in 1972 to our present 5 million barrels per day.  He additionally pointed out that the Democrats have foiled any  attempt to promote drilling in Alaska as well as the inner 48  states.

 

I particularly liked on statement made by Mr. Tefas when he  wrote:

 

&;I agree that Obama is articulate and charming, but he is a buffoon when it comes to governance.  His sole qualification was as a community organizer in Chicago.  He chastises the Republicans for not getting anything done and then flies off to Philadelphia for a fundraiser.

 

He also stated that he was baffled by our current foreign policy and pointed out that we seem to be catering to our enemies rather than to our friends, particularly in the Middle East.

 

He also touched briefly on the fact that Obama has ENDED our Space Program.

 

And on that point I wonder just how many items that we have come to depend upon in our everyday lives that were discovered due to our space program?  I watch the Science Channel regularly and I cannot tell you how many items which are used by Americans every single day which became common thanks to our Space Program.

 

But as Mr. Tefas said and as I have often said, we are being governed by buffoons and incompetent buffoons at that.  But I must say that Mr. Tefas is really generous saying that Obama's campaign statements were inconsistent with the truth.   I say that they were outright lies.

Thomas Sowell wrote an article this week with the subject being  &;Good Things&; and how common sense and facts are routinely ignored.

 

&;Many of the things advocated by environmental extremists, for example, are things that most of us might think of as good things.  But in politics, they become GOOD THINGS whose repercussions and costs are brushed aside as unworthy considerations.....Nobody wants to breathe dirty air or drink dirty water.  But, if either becomes 98 percent pure, 99 percent pure or 99.9 percent pure, there is some point beyond which the costs skyrocker and the benefits become meager or non-existent.&;...... THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;If the slightest trace of any impurity were fatal, the human race would have become extinct thousands of years ago.&;... THOMAS  SOWELL

MORE  STUFF:
 

Earlier this morning I watched a video of a scast from an Atlanta, GA television station.  The reporter related a story where one of the ideas to cut government spending was to ELIMINATE the home mortgage interest as a tax deduction, (which would thereby RAISE personal income taxes at almost every level), while still sending taxpayer funds to other countries for the purpose of &;Saving Mosques&; in various Muslim countries.

 

I k that we did lots of stuff overseas and this should not come as a surprise to any of us, so I guess I am really more pissed than surprised.

 

I received a long list of programs which some Republican House members has proposed an elimination of taxpayer funding.  Her is a small sample:

 

* Corporation for Public Broadcasting Subsidy --------- $445 Million annually

*National Endowment for the Arts ------------------------ $167.5  Million annually

* National Endowment for the Humanities --------------  $ 167.5 Million annually

* Cut Federal Vehicle Budget by 20% ---------------------- $600 Million annually

*Eliminate Duplicative Education Programs -------------- $1.3 Billion annually

*Eliminate Taxpayer Subsidies to the United

  Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- $12.5 Million annually

*Economic Assistance to Egypt ------------------------------- $250 Million annually

 

Just these few items add up to over $2.6 Billion and there are a couple of really big ticket items that I have left off.

-------------------------------------------------

Now don't get me wrong.  I think Barry Bonds is a first class jerk.  I always liked Roger Clemens though.  But what gripes me is that Bonds and Clemens both had to face trial for allegedly lying to CONGRESS when CONGRESS was investigating Steroid Use in Major League Baseball which covered a time period when the use of performance enhancing drugs WAS  NOT  ILLEGAL.

 

My first question remains;   What in the hell is Congress doing wasting time on this crap when our economy is going down the tubes?

 

My second question is:  How could ANY  GRAND  JURY or  ANY  TRIAL  JURY  convict ANYONE for lying to a bunch of people who do nothing but lie to the American people every day?

 

And don't forget, Barack Hussein Obama has suggested that Congress get involved in the subject of NCAA Football Championships and design a playoff system.  Like the BCS hasn't got it screwed up enough.

 

I cannot imagine trusting these bozos with anything seeing as how they have screwed up everything they have touched in the past 50  years or so.

 

And I am still not convinced that the Republicans in the House and Senate won't cave in at the last moment and let Obama have his way with this debt ceiling business.

 

Remember,  to a Democrat/Progressive/Socialist, a LIE is just as good as the truth.

More bad s for all you RAPPERS out there.

July 13th, 2011  MISDIRECTION / EXECUTION / LOCKOUTS
Seperator Greetings from an extremely hot and dry West Texas Association For Jingoistic Four Wheel Drive Angry Overtaxed Gun Owners.

 

MISDIRECTION:
 

How is it that a large percentage of voters are depending upon Congress and President Barack Hussein Obama to come up with a financial fix for our current system which appears to be on the edge of collapse, when they are the main reason for the problem to begin with?    How is it that many Republican Congressmen/women and Republican Senators can keep going for the same sleight of hand tricks which have apparently had these overpaid  slugs fooled for a good many years?   Why is it that they cannot see that Barack Hussein Obama and the elected Democrats/Progressives/Socialists consistently have them looking in the wrong direction when the real answers lie in completely different area?

 

I know I am preaching to the choir but let me just explain one more time what these vermin, and in particular the head varmint, are pulling.

 

First of all, I am suspicious of a President or any other elected official who wants CLOSED  DOOR  SESSIONS on matters which affect us all.  But this seems to be the style of this Chicago Mob run flunky.  And of course he, himself never comes up with anything which will pass muster in either the House or Senate and when they break from these CLOSED  DOOR  SESSIONS the mainstream media goes to the President first and he ALWAYS gets in his version which in Obama's case is almost always a complete LIE.

 

I  heard a clip earlier today when he was telling the media rats that this was not the time to play the blame game and certainly not the time to try to use fear tactics for political gains.   Then a short time later he said that HE COULD  NOT  GUARANTEE  THAT  CHECKS DUE TO BE SENT OUT TO SENIORS,  VETERANS, OR THOSE ON DISABILITY WOULD BE SENT  OUT.

 

Now keep in mind, he DID NOT  SAY   THAT  THOSE CHECKS  WOULD  NOT  BE SENT OUT BUT THAT HE JUST COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT  THEY  WOULD BE SENT  OUT.

 

DAMN!   ALMOST   SOUNDS  LIKE  A  FEAR  TACTIC  BEING  USED  BY   THE  VERY PERSON  WHO  TOLD  US  THAT  THIS WAS  NOT  THE  TIME  FOR  THE BLAME  GAME OR  THE  USE  OF  FEAR  TACTICS.

 

If the present Republican elected officials  are going to  keep  falling  for  this  same  old  magician's  trick of misdirection  then perhaps they need to  get  back to where-in-ever-the-hell they came from and let someone else with the guts to stand up to these turds give it a shot.  If we need to dump some of the long time so called Conservative Republican Stalwarts----- SO  BE  IT.

 

Barack  Hussein Obama has absolutely no problem in saying what he believes the public wants to hear even though he has absolutely no intention of sticking by what he claimed.   Where I come from that is called   A   LIE and there is no other way to put it.  And please spare me the old wives tales about how well  Ronald Reagan and &;Tip&; O'Neal got along.   As many of you will remember,  &;Tip&; O'Neal  was the ORIGINAL   FAT  TEDDY.  He was a liberal turd of the highest or lowest order, depending upon how you wish to state it.

 

Anyway,  keep on your Congressmen/women and Senators that Compromise is not the paramount reason they are presently holding their positions.  And if we believe they are really all that stupid, then they should be looking at a private sector position.

 

EXECUTION:
 

Last week there was an article in the (Sub) Standard which stated:

 

&;Governor Rick Perry rebuffed criticism Friday from the UNITED  NATIONS  and SECRETARY  OF  STATE  HILLARY  CLINTON for Texas' execution of a Mexican man whose lawyers said he was not informed he could have sought legal help from the Mexican Government after he was arrested for the murder of a San Antonio teen ager..&;   The article went on to say that the U.N.'s top human rights official said that Humberto Leal's execution amounted to a breach of international law by the U.S.   Leal  was convicted of the 1994  raping and bludgeoning death of 16 year old Adria Sauceda in San Antonio.  The article went on to say that after taking responsibility for the slaying wrapped up his comments by shouting &;Viva Mexico&;.

 

I should like to point out that while Mexico might enjoy a &;Long Life&;  Humberto Leal DID  NOT.

 

It should also be noted that President Barack Obama's administration took the unusual step of intervening in a state murder case when the Solicitor General last week joined Leal's appeal in asking the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the execution.  

 

After his execution, relatives of Leal who had gathered in Guadalupe, Mexico, burned a T-Shirt with an image of the American flag in protest.......I guess that should resurrect his murderin' ass all right.

 

LOCKOUT:
 

I would really like a show of hands from everyone who has the NFL and NBA  lockouts very high on their list of priorities.   I have heard enough whining about greed from the players in both of these leagues.  I find it somewhat bizarre that people who are making anywhere from $3 MILLION to $20 MILLION dollars per year are being all that hard pressed.   I read somewhere that he minimum salary in the NFL was somewhere over $300,000 dollars per year.

 

Now don't get me wrong.   I am not all that much enamored by the NFL and NBA  owners.  As a matter of fact  several of them have come damn close to making the Varmint's List but in the long haul their contribution to our everyday life is fairly miniscule.   

 

Now while we are on the subject of greed, as I understand it, the players in both leagues want a bigger cut of the owner's overall  end-of-year profits.  OK.  If that is how things should work then perhaps the owner of the Miami Heat should also be able to get a piece of the action from LeBron James'  fees for his endorsements.

 

Again, I am not  all that much in favor of the owner's side of this argument but this incessant whining and the threats of these overpaid NBA stars of leaving the U.S. and going to Europe to play is getting to be a bit much.  So to LeBron and the rest I say, &;Don't let the arena door hit you in the ass on your way out.&;   Incidentally the NFL has already tried a European League and it went over about as big as knitted sweaters for dead armadillos.

 

As a matter of fact, if the American and National League baseball players want to go out on another strike, then I will applaud their absence from the scene.

 

College baseball is a hell of a lot more fun to watch as is NCAA Football (All Divisions) and NCAA Basketball (Men's and Women's) and of course there is high school sports which is the absolute best.  So perhaps if the WNBA (for those of you presently residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco that would be the Women's National Basketball Association) and both Men's and Women's Professional Soccer Leagues could join in and just sit next season out, then our world would be a better place...... but only if they took the Williams Sisters along with them.

 

I know when I had surgery back in 1998 while they were removing part of my colon they also removed my appendix at no extra charge.  I am not sure but I believe when they did my open heart surgery on June 2nd, they must have removed my give-a-shitter because I pretty much don't anymore, particularly when it concerns these extremely high paid whiners.

One such country is right on our border ------ Mexico.  But there are others farther away, such as Brazil and Russia.    There are also countries with higher rates of gun ownership than in the United States ---Switzerland and Israel for example-- that have much lower murder rates than ours.   But none of this has the slightest effect on the talking points of gun control zealots.&;.....................

MORE   STUFF:
 

I am getting a bit sick of all this crap about how many jobs were created by the Obama Stimulus Package.   I have heard the world's most articulate and intelligent human brag about how many jobs were created and how many taxpayers were now contributing into the federal tax coffers.  Then the other day I was listening to a s report which said that the cost for every job created by this bogus stimulus package was something like $238,000 per job.   Then I heard that ALL of the so called jobs created by this stimulus money were all GOVERNMENT JOBS of one type or another, and yes that does include jobs with public education systems as well as federal, state, county, and local jobs. 

 

So let's look for a moment at the math in little equation:  Just for the sake of argument let us say that a government job was created where the employee's annual salary was $70,000.   Then after deductions, that person's annual taxable income was $50,000 which would probably make that person for argument's sake in the 15% tax bracket.  Then his contribution to the federal tax system would be $7,500.  So this would mean that $238,000 of our tax dollars was spent in order to create a position which would result in $7,500 being paid back into the federal tax fund.

 

WOW!  Is this dynamite economics or what?  Do they not teach math at Harvard?  Apparently none of these learned elected buffoons plan on any of us listening and putting a pencil to their math.  One does not need any type of degree in math or anything else to realize that $7,500 is not a really good return on a $7,500 outlay.  (For those of you presently being held prisoner in the Gulag of the District of Columbia that means that you put out $238,000 for your purchase and sold it for $7,500 which is a LOSS of $230,500 per job.  BUT these elected Progressives/Socialists expect us to swallow this, hooves, horns and all.

------------------------------------------------------------

I am sure that you all will be a shocked as I to learn of the arrest of Adam &;Pac-Man&; Jones who is a defensive back for the Cincinnati Bengals of the &;Locked Out&; NFL.  Poor Pac-Man.   He is just another misunderstood  victim of a racist society.   You don't suppose that the Cincinnati Police used racial profiling do you?    For those of you who may not be aware of this guy's history, he has been problems everywhere he played.  He has been cut from several teams and I believe that several years back, just prior to playing for the Cowboys, he served a league suspension.

-------------------------------------------------

We have had our Great Grand Daughter spending the week with us and it has been most enjoyable.   Yesterday I took her to a movie which was a real eye opener.  I don't attend many movies at the theater but yesterday we went to an early matinee.  The cost of admission has gone up considerably from the last time and we got a huge tub of popcorn and two giant drinks which was way too much but at those ticket and food prices I was not going to leave a kernel of popcorn uneaten.  We manage to finish off the tub a few minutes before the end of the movie.  I will never get the tub again.  Sure tasted good though,  there is no popcorn like movie theater popcorn.

July 6th, 2011  VERDICT / CANDIDATES / ANTHEM
Seperator Hello once more from the Jingoistic Angry SUV Driving Mob Members Of West Texas.

 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day.  I spent a great deal of July 4th watching a series called, &;The Revolution&;, which  was about 14 hours in length broken up into 1 hour episodes.  It was aired on the History International Chanel.   The series was really well done and really showed just exactly what exceptional men were our founding fathers.  It additionally showed what a great man was George Washington.   That is the kind of programming I like.   It ran from early in the morning on July 4th until 10 PM.  It made me realize once more how proud I was of our heritage and what really great men those founders really were.  They also had one program describing one of George Washington's most trusted and intelligent Generals,  Daniel Morgan.  Daniel Morgan was not only a brilliant tactician but was really respected by his men.  One of the programs described him on the night before the &;Battle of Cowpens&; in which Regulars and Militia under the command of Daniel Morgan defeated Lord Tarleton who was one of the greatest leaders among the British command.  This report described General Daniel Morgan going around his camp and visiting with every one of the men under his command.   He joked with them and raised their morale to the highest level.   If you can find a book, and there are several available, about Daniel Morgan, don't hesitate to pick it up.

 

Then on the other History Channel they had all day programming regarding &;How The States Got Their Shapes&;, which is pretty  interesting but I thought showing programming about the Revolution or the Declaration of Independence would have been a bit more proper.   Then at 7:00 P.M. on The History Channel we were treated to several episodes of &;Pawn Stars&;  with brief interruptions of exciting episodes of &;American Pickers&; and &;Larry The Cable Guy&;.   Pretty lame all in all.

 

VERDICT:
 

While I am on the subject of &;LAME&; and television programming, I must say a few words about the Casey Anthony trial in Orange County, Florida.  What we saw were verdicts handed down by jurors who obviously placed more emphasis on the plots of any number of television programs regarding law enforcement crime scene investigators.

 

Now I am not attempting to minimize the importance of crime scene investigators and the various forensic investigators.   I have personally been involved in a number of cases when these experts were very important in the trial and subsequent verdicts.  BUT by the same token, these television programs have some basis in fact but they ARE  NOT  ABSOLUTELY  TRUE  ALL  THE  TIME.   But these jurors obviously could not separate what was from what they thought it should be.

 

After the verdict everybody, I suppose, except the NFL Channel interviewed Juror #14 who:  WAS  NOT  A VOTING  MEMBER  OF  THE  JURY:   WHOSE OPINION MEANT  NOTHING IN THIS TRIAL:   WHO APPARENTLY HAD A REAL PROBLEM IN LOOKING AT THE COMPLETE PICTURE  AND ONCE  AGAIN  DEPENDED  ON   SOME   TELEVISION  COP  SHOW  FOR HIS  BASIS  FOR  BELIEF.

 

A circumstantial case can actually be quite convincing.  Apparently  the jury in this case completely forgot the fact that when Casey Anthony's  daughter Caylee went missing,  this  &;Caring Mother&;  did  nothing about reporting her daughter missing and even lied to her parents about the whereabouts of Caylee.   She said at one point that she was with the Baby Sitter;   Then she said that she was at Disney World;   Then she said that she was with her wealthy boyfriend:   Then finally when the Police were notified she continued to stick with these ridiculous stories until finally the body of Caylee was found.

 

After the investigation began several people testified that they smelled the odor of a decomposing body in the trunk of Casey's car.  Now I don't know how many of you have ever smelled a decomposing human body but I have had more than my share.  And, believe me when I tell you that, there is not another odor like it on this planet.  I have attended murder trials where one of the things which led to the arrest of the defendant was the odor of a decomposing body in their vehicle.

 

I am not sure that the prosecution should have attempted to try this as a death penalty case, although I believe that if all facts were known the death penalty would have been appropriate.  But when I hear Geraldo and Juror #14 the the two defense attorneys  talk about the state did not prove a MOTIVE,  I am forced to recall than in many murder cases in which I have testified,  MOTIVE was never shown.

 

Over the past 15 or 20 years I have seen some really great final arguments,  BUT  I have not seen any great final arguments which were TELEVISED.  Televising these trials is a bad idea.  Anyway, when I hear that defense attorney make the statement that &;Caylee's  Death  Has  Been Vindicated&; it comes to my mind that this beautiful little girl is dead and NO  NONE  will pay for it.

 

CANDIDATES:
 

On the subject of the Republican list of announced candidates I received a number of comments about my thoughts regarding Michelle Bachman.  I received several comments from folks who lived in Minnesota and they were not real big on  Bachman OR Pawlenty.  Regarding Pawlenty, a couple of the rubs against him were his economy with the truth regarding stadiums for Minnesota athletic teams as well as he was, according to these residents, not real strong on the Second Amendment.

 

Regarding Michelle Bachman, I was reminded that back in the 1970's she was an Activist working for Jimmy Carter.   I was also reminded that she is a proponent of Manmade Global Warming and she believes that our disabled veterans get too many benefits and is in favor of CUTTING  the pay OF  OUR  MILITARY.   One person said that he has written her many letters regarding specific issues but has received no response other than requests for donations for her political  career. 

 

So at this point I have seen or heard nothing to make me change my opinion of Ms. Bachman but I am somewhat disappointed on the information regarding Mr. Pawlenty.  Oh, and while I am at it, please spare me the statements about Michelle Bachman having a Law Degree --- so did Barack and Michelle Obama --  Bill and Hillary Clinton -- Robert Kennedy --  &;Fat  Teddy&;  Kennedy...... and the list goes on.

 

The truth is that the Republican Party STILL has not had a really good candidate step up yet.  While I do like Herman Cain, I don't think he has a prayer of getting the nomination or of winning a general election.

 

ANTHEM:
 

I am sure there is no doubt in your minds  about how I feel about our National Anthem.   On Sunday,  July 3, 2011 I saw a piece in the magazine section of our very own (Sub) Standard under a section entitled Intelligence Report.  This idiotic article pointed out that since a &;PRO&; like Christina Aguilera had problems with the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner and other Pros have experienced problems with the lyrics and range of the song that perhaps &;It is time to change our National Anthem&;.   What these boobs suggest is that &;America The Beautiful&; be substituted.  What gives these idiots reason to believe that varmints like Christina Aguilera couldn't screw up &;America The Beautiful&;?

 

Actually I really love &;America The Beautiful&; but it is not our Star Spangled Banner which was named as OUR  NATIONAL  ANTHEM  BY  ACT  OF  CONGRESS  IN 1931.   AND  my very favorite rendition of &;America The Beautiful&;  is done by Ray Charles.   I know that Ray Charles sang this beautiful song in his own fashion, there is no doubt about what this song is about and he did not change  the  melody or the lyrics of the song.

 

Earlier this morning I was watching a show about The Statue of Liberty and at the end of the program there was  a film taken of the Statue of Liberty taken in a flyover and in the background there was some howling, screeching squack singing America the Beautiful and occasionally you could recognize a couple of the words but never the melody.  So if these idiot who are not satisfied with the Star Spangled Banner as our National Anthem, I have two words................ Tough shit!

REALLY  GREAT  STUFF:
 

If you checked our Prayer List really close you might have noticed that the name of Levi English is no longer present as a Midshipman at the United States Naval Academy.   If you checked this list a bit further, you will notice that Second Lieutenant Levi English, United States Marine Corps has been added.

 

On Friday, May 27, 2011 Benjamin Levi English  was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps.  He was sworn in by Assistant Commandant General Joseph F. Dunford Jr.   The Keynote speaker for the event was Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates.

 

Levi graduated with honors with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, placing 29th in his class of 1,006.  In August he will begin the Fall Semester at TEXAS  A & M UNIVERSITY on a graduate level fellowship study, specifically in Aerospace Engineering.

 

His younger brother Ethan English is in his Junior year at the United States Naval Academy.  As you might imagine,  Levi's parents are plenty proud of their oldest son.   I have known Levi for about four years but have only actually seen him in person 4 or 5 .   That was enough for me to form the opinion that this is one of the finest  young men I have ever known.  And the same holds true for younger brother Ethan.  If you could meet their parents, Ben and Cathy English you would have no doubt about where both of these young men acquired their character.

 

And I must admit that Levi attending Texas A & M University makes me very happy.

-------------------------------------------------------

Here is another good story which says a bit about the character of a man who was one time head coach of the Houston Oilers and Orleans Saints.  That man is &;Bum&; Phillips.

 

In 1983, in his roe as host of a charity golf tournament, NFL coach Bum Phillips went to the Hughen Center in Port Arthur, which served people with physical disabilities.  His eyes fell on a 9-year old boy in a wheelchair, Robert Valencia.    Coach Phillips was taken with this young man and put him on the cover of the flier for his tournament.  Coach Phillips visited Robert several over the next couple of years , but after Valencia left the center Coach Phillips lost contact with him.

 

Last month Valencia, now 36 and living in San Angelo, got a big surprise when he entered his living room and &;Bum&; Phillips was sitting waiting for him.   Coach Phillips was in town for the Angelo Football Clinic and stopped by to visit his old friend.   Coach Phillips told reporters that he was sad that he could not locate Robert for so long.

 

For some reason this comes as no surprise to me.  Several years back a very good friend of mine, Joe Dugger, passed away and my old partner Peary Perry and I attended his funeral in Pasadena, Texas.   Joe had been on the Houston Police Department and also was involved with the Houston Oilers and Tennessee Titans for many years working security and dealing with equipment matters.  He also accompanied the Houston Oiler Basketball team which traveled around  playing other  NFL teams who also had some off season basketball teams. 

 

Coach Bum Phillips delivered a really touching  eulogy for Joe.  This was years after coach Phillips had retired.  Many of the old Oilers and present Titans were also at Joe's funeral.

I am sure that most of you have seen the reports on the Director of the Houston National Cemetery, Arleen Ocasio, who in her infinite wisdom has  forbidden the use of the words &;God&; or &;Jesus&; to be used during funeral services held at this cemetery.  She has ordered a volunteer women's organization to not use the phrase &;God Bless You&;.

 

I believe that she is a Federal Appointee which should not surprise any of us.  Lots of folks in Houston have written their Texas Senators and their Congress Persons requesting this heifer's termination.   I saw one photo of this squack and she bore an alarming resemblance to &;Jabba The Hut&; (Janet Napolitano).   Where in the hell does our Federal Government find these varmints?

-----------------------------------------------------------

A couple of Harvard Professors have come to the conclusion that July 4th Parades and Fireworks Displays tend to bring out feelings of PATRIOTISM in Republicans more than in Democrats/Progressives/Socialists.    And this is a surprise to any of us?   Beam me up Scotty -- I m surrounded by Romulans.

See ya next week.

Hello once again from the West Texas Headquarters For Gun Owning SUV Driving Jingoistic Draconian Right Wing Social Engineering (As stated by t Gingrich) Neanderthals (As stated by the NY ).

 

It is good to be back.  I had my open heart surgery on June 2nd and I have been dependent upon my good wife and friends for transportation to important events such as coffee breaks and visits to The Academy and of course the Post Office.  Tomorrow I will be back behind the wheel of either my Four Wheel Drive Pickup or my All Wheel Drive SUV.

 

My doctors said that they were amazed at how fast I was coming back from this surgery.  Of course I am still a bit sore but all in all I did not have the pain that I expected.  My  chest incisions are healing up nicely as is my left leg where they removed the veins for the bypasses.  I ended up with 57 staples which ran from about  6 inches above my knee to just above my ankle.

 

I had great care while in the hospital and had some really nice nurses.  Every single member of the surgery team came by to see me at least once and my surgeon checked on me every single day I was hospitalized.

 

I still have two more weeks of not lifting anything over five  pounds.  But I have been able to get in a mile walk every morning that I have been home.  I do not walk on Sunday mornings but do every other day of the week.

 

I wish to thank all of you for your prayers;  telephone calls;  e-mails;  and visits while I went through this procedure.  I had several friends who came by the hospital every day that I was hospitalized and brought me spapers;  books;  magazines; DVDs; and good conversation which sure helped me through a few tough days.

 

PEAKS:
 

I don't even know where to begin with this.  After maybe the scariest thing I have experienced in my life I had to look back and reflect on all of the really positive things for which I am very thankful.  Of course my family would naturally come first.  My daughter called me two or three a day while I was in the hospital and I also received calls from all of my grandchildren at different .  I got lots of calls from old friends and also some from some friends whom I have never seen in person.  The most recent was just a few minutes ago from a retired York City Police Sergeant.  I can't begin to tell you all how much those calls and visits have meant to me.

 

While I have been recovering I received some messages from two of my oldest friends who have had some really good things happen in their lives in the past couple of weeks.  I do not call it good fortune or good luck on their parts as their hard work was actually responsible for these good things happening.   I got a call from my old Houston Police Department partner Peary Perry.   Peary has been working very hard for several years on opening a business with some other men.  He called and told me that they had just gotten some contracts signed which should really kick off this enterprise.  When I hear various people speak of entrepreneurship and refer to people like Mitt Romney, I almost want to laugh.  Not that Mr. Romney hasn't been very successful but lets face it,  he had a pretty good jump start from his family's money.   Peary had no such start.  As I said earlier, as a young man he was a police officer with the City of Houston.   He has gone into several successful business ventures with nothing but guts and a willingness to try something .   He is my idea of a real success story.  I always like to tease him about a number of things from the past but I always admired his spirit and his ability to make a success out of something about which he k very little when he started.

 

Also while I was off I heard from another old friend who was also one of my partners on the Houston Police Department.  His name is Jim Jenkins.  Jim notified me that he just got his first novel published.   I k that Jim had some writing talent and had been working on some ideas but he finally pushed himself and succeeded in getting his first novel published.  I immediately ordered the book and read it in four sittings.   Of course the location of the events are areas with which I am familiar.  And the subject matter of the novel is one which is near and dear to my heart.  All I will say is that it takes place along the Texas/Mexico border and deals with drug cartels and a covert U.S. Agency and although fiction , would probably be way more successful than anything put together by Homeland Security.  I would urge &;Jabba The Hut&;(Janet Napolitano) to pay attention.   The title of the book is &;A Season Of Reckoning&; and Jim writes under the name of his father, Jack Jenkins.  If you are looking for a good story, get a copy of &;A Season Of Reckoning&;.

 

VALLEYS:
 

I have to say that I am most disappointed in not only the Republican Party in general but also the way that the s media has portrayed a couple of the candidates.   After watching the first so called debate, I have tried to listen to many of the Republican candidates and up to this point, the only two who have made much sense to me are Herman Cain and Tim Pawlenty.  Of course neither of these gentlemen are popular with ANY of the media.    Also allow me to point out that I have received many e-mails inquiring why t Gingrich was on the Varmint's List.   After watching this arrogant Pillsbury Dough Boy it is a small wonder that damn near ALL of his staff has resigned.   When asked about why his staff is bailing out on him like Titanic passengers, this self centered boob said that there was a different opinion on the direction his campaign should take AND that his way was probably &;Just Too Hard&; for his staff.   HEY  T!!!!  Could it be that your way might just be WRONG?  Or could it be that finally your staff recognized you for the DOOF you really are?

 

Also,  and I am sure this will not be very popular with some, but I cannot in good conscience support Michelle Bachman.   I have watched her make public appearances and have been less than impressed with her knowledge of our nation's history and have noticed that she has left herself wide open by many of her responses to questions by media mutts.  And to me, there has been way too much press and way too many comments on the question posed to her by Chris Wallace (FOX s);  &;Are you a  Flake&;?   I was watching the interview and I completely understood the question asked by Chris Wallace.   I had read and heard many of the Mainstream Media vermin refer to Ms. Bachman as a &;Flake&; or worse and perhaps Chris Wallace could have phrased the question a little differently but I did not have the idea that he was trying to insult her.  AND I thought she missed a golden opportunity to have really stuck it to the media with any number of answers.  So actually my opinion of her ability to think on the move is not real high.  Also I am a bit tired of professional politicians.  I think she is in her third term in Congress and up until recently when the Republican Party decided that they needed a cute replacement for Sarah Palin, I had not really heard much of Michelle Bachman.  I have heard more than enough about her recently.  To me she is just another attempt by the RNC to have a politically correct candidate.  They better get off their asses and get a real conservative candidate or we will be looking at another FOUR  YEARS of Barack Hussein Obama,  which I am not sure our country can survive.

 

TV:
 

While recuperating from my surgery I have had more than enough time to watch and grade television programming.  I am most sorry to say that what was once one of my very favorite channels has shown a tendency to drift toward &;Reality Television&; as is commonly accepted by today's standards.   A couple of quick words on &;Reality Based Television&;........... HORSE  CRAP!  I had been watching the first episode of SURVIVOR for perhaps ten minutes when it dawned upon me that these mutts were trying to convince the viewing public that the contestants were actually on this island with no comforts and no ability to make it other than their own wits.   It also hit me about the same time that there had to be some type of electrical power to operate the cameras;  there were, God only knows how many,  crew members;   food preparers for the staff; and  any number of other modern conveniences available to the contestants.  Anyway I cut it off and never watched another minute of it or any of the spin off programs.

 

The latest channel to fall victim to the &;Reality Based&; crap is none other than THE  HISTORY CHANNEL.   Now don't get me wrong,  the History Channel still shows some quality programs but let me address three in particular which I find really offensive:

 

ICE ROAD  TRUCKERS

PAWN  STARS

AMERICAN  PICKERS

 

Let's look real quickly at ICE  ROAD  TRUCKERS.  OK.  You have TRUCK  DRIVERS.   They are driving on highways covered in ICE.   You have several experienced truck drivers.   Then you have your rookie truck drivers.  And last you have a small really cute girl who is out to show that there is absolutely nothing any of these other big hogs can do that she cannot do at least as well if not better.    Only two things can happen on these shows.   Either the truck cannot make it through  OR  the drivers do make it through. 

 

On my first full day after surgery in the hospital, the History Channel had something like 17 straight  hours of various episodes of ICE  ROAD  TRUCKERS.  Nothing happened.  Some of the trucks ran off the road;  some of them made it through without a hitch and all and all it was boring.

 

Now let's look at PAWN  STARS.   You take three or four really overweight obnoxious turds and dress them alike and you have different people come in with various items (most of which are junk) and they ask too much for the item and these obnoxious turds try to get the items for less than the person wants.  BOY!   Can you get caught up in the excitement of this kind of programming?  And of course the old man who allegedly owns the pawn shop treats the others like chicken droppings and perhaps the idea behind the show is that the viewer is hoping and praying that one of them will knock this old turd out.   And as in ICE  ROAD  TRUCKERS, they will show 6 or 8 exciting episodes in a row.

 

Finally there is AMERICAN  PICKERS and this ball of excitement shows two really goofy dudes driving an old van who travel around the country looking for old treasures and just happen to drive up to a farm house several thousand miles away from the next structure and lo and behold, they come upon King Arthur's Sword, Excalibur.   Then we are subjected to watching and listening to these two boobs barter with the stupid farmer until they finally strike a deal.    Watching paint dry is more exciting.

 

Then just to keep me checking back with their channel they will show a program on collectable firearms.  I watched one yesterday which showed a Colt percussion pistol presented by Samuel Colt to the Sultan of Turkey in the 1800's.   The firearm was blue with loads of gold engraving and had been purchased by a collector in York for $2.3 MILLION  dollars and he in turn had donated it to the Metropolitan Museum in NY City where it is on display today.

 

The Military History Channel shows some really good stuff some of which I had not seen in the past.  One program dealt with the Russian Army's push toward Germany in WW II.   I had read accounts but had not seen this film previously.  Now get ready for this:   The Russians had a front which was 350 miles long and in several places had 400 Artillery Pieces for each mile.   Those gun crews were practically bumping into each other they were so close.  It was a really awesome sight.

 

MOVIES:
 

I love old movies.  I even love er movies which are really well done.  While in the hospital, I had a visit from an old friend and long time co-worker Dennis Wesley and his wife Jeannie.  They now live in Abilene, Texas.   The came for a visit and brought me a DVD which contained, not just four Errol Flynn movies, but four of my very favorite Errol Flynn movies:  The Adventures of Robin Hood;   The Adventures of Don Juan;  Fortunes of Captain Blood;  and The Sea Hawk.  If you like action and swordplay, which I do,  you can't beat these four.  You can add The Mark of Zorro with Tyrone Power as another great one.  Also while off, I watched:  Lonesome Dove;  Broken Trail;  Open Range;  and Second Hand Lions.  Now what these last four have in common is that Robert Duval is one of the stars.  Robert Duval is one of my all time favorites.  I also got to watch in its entirety two mini-series;   Texas;  and  Streets of Laredo.   I would also recommend  Geronimo An American Legend which also stars Robert Duval among others.  I also got to watch the history of Disneyland and Walt Disney World which were amazing stories.  As the line in the old song goes:

 

&;What ever happened to Randolph Scott Ridin' The Trail Alone?&;  The really great ones have gone on.   But as long as we have Robert Duval and Clint Eastwood and a few others, we still have hope.  But, I am secure in the knowledge that I have FOUR  Errol Flynn movies I can watch anytime I damn well please.

MORE  STUFF:
 

The past couple of days I saw several reports on FOX s about a criminal wave that is apparently hitting some of the larger cities in our country;  specifically Philadelphia;  Atlanta;  Chicago; York and several other locations.   The report said that this technique is called &;Mobbing&; in some places;  &;Wilding&; in some places and by whatever name you might use is causing problems.

 

Groups of 30 -40 teen agers mostly gather up and hit a retail store and start grabbing merchandise and then taking off after just a few minutes.  Of course the store personnel cannot do much and by the time the police arrive they are long gone.  They had several security camera films of these attacks on retail stores.  I am sure it will not be long before it begins taking place in smaller communities.

------------------------------------------------

I am pretty sure that I am the only one of us who keeps up with the RAP Community.  But while I was hospitalized two Rappers had some problems;   Rapper  Flo Rida (catchy name eh?) was charged with DUI.   A large crowd gathered in Miami Beach and begged the officers to let Flo Rida go.   They didn't.   Heartless.

 

If that weren't enough, in York Ja Rule was sentenced to two years in prison on a weapons case.

 

When will it stop?   Can't a Rapper get a break?   Apparently not in Miami Beach or York....... I'm happy to say.

-------------------------------------------------

I heard of some poll which took place a week or so back which said that 67% of the people were not satisfied with the job being done by Barack Obama.   But what concerns me is that it also showed that 33% of the people were satisfied  the job being done by this mutt.  For those of you residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco that would be roughly 100,000,000 people.

------------------------------------------------

On my Dilbert daily calendar I noticed a really funny strip:   Dilbert had just put up the number $4,629,873 on a presentation to his co-workers.  Dilbert said, &;I didn't have any accurate numbers so I just made up this one.  Studies have shown that accurate numbers aren't any more useful than the ones you make up.&;..........  A co worker asked, &;How many studies showed that?&;.... To which Dilbert replied, &;Eighty seven&;.

 

Almost makes you think that Dilbert is in charge of statistical information for the Obama administration, doesn't it?

 

I refer back to something which my old friend Peary told me once regarding figures.   He said that if you subtracted your zip code from your telephone number you could generally come up with a believable figure.   You could just move the decimal point one way or the other to come up with something someone would buy.

 

Again, I think our federal government uses that method on many occasions.

-------------------------------------------

Anyway, it's good to be back.  Thank you all and God bless you for your support.

May 26th, 2011  TRADE / CARTEL / CHOICES
Seperator Greetings once more from the home of a Plenty Pissed Jingoistic Intolerant High Price Gasoline Buying Four Wheel Drive Pickup Driving  Gun Owning Angry West Texas Mob Member.

 

Very quickly.... my doctor's visit.  Yesterday I met my surgeon for the first time and was very pleased with what I had learned about him and his experience in cardiac surgery.  I saw his diploma from John Hopkins University and several more from some pretty high powered universities in special areas of medicine.   I also read an article about he and his wife, who is his head nurse, and their move from the Northeastern U.S. to Texas.  Everything I have read and heard about him was very positive.   We discussed what was to be done and he had a small model of the human heart and he showed me exactly what would be done.   Next Thursday, I will have heart bypass surgery.   He said the surgery should take about 3 hours and that in all probability I would get to come home on either the third or fourth day.  So I will spend the remainder of the week end and first part of next week getting my mind right for the surgery.  So next week I will probably not send out my weekly gripes but hope to be back in the saddle the following week.

 

TRADE:
 

Very quickly on this subject...... I will trade Barack Hussein Obama and  all his relatives;  Hillary Clinton and all her relatives;   Vice President Joseph Biden;   Eric Holder and his family;  and every person on the Varmint's List for BENJAMIN  NETANYAHU AND HIS FAMILY.   I watched the video clips of Mr. Netanyahu sitting side by side with the World's Most Articulate and Intelligent Human and was embarrassed that the President of the United States came across as an arrogant,  petulant little boy.

 

Returning to the 1967 borders as a starting point?   What an idiotic statement and idea.  Of course Prime Minister Netanyahu didn't waste much time in shooting that brilliant idea down.   Am I wrong, or didn't Israel WIN the 1967 War?  Seems to me like the winners of a war in which the tiny nation of Israel kicked the crap out of the Arab countries and then took mercy on their asses.   I would imagine  that the chance Israel voluntarily returning the Golan Heights to Syria would roughly parallel the chance of the viewers hearing the letter &;R&; pronounced correctly with Barbara Walters conducting an interview with Elmer Fudd.

 

In short, Prime Minister Netanyahu looked like the leader of a nation and Barack Hussein Obama came across  as a bit of a buffoon.  One must wonder if the president's crack staff ever seriously look into anything before they advised him to either do or say something completely stupid.  Now I am not up on matters of the Court but I did know that when &;God Save The Queen&; is being played, that no one is supposed to be talking, or in our own mutt's case, presenting a Toast to Her Majesty.  I have watched that film clip a bunch of and everyone looked at him as if he had been bitten by a rabid monkey.   Once again, here you have a Chicago,  mob trained,  con man meeting with British Royalty and looking like an idiot.  Perhaps he should go back to Chicago and organize a few more communities...... Or, he could hustle up a Three Card Monte game..... or perhaps try to master the Jamaican Switch ..... or try to sell fake Rolex watches.

 

One columnist wrote, &;Netanyahu showed a worldwide audience that purposefulness can be as polite as it is pointed, and that Obama has a glass jaw.  A clenched glass jaw, but a glass jaw nonetheless&;.

 

We have a street hustling con-man sitting in the White House.  It should be about time for the American Public to realize the intellectual depth of this man, or rather the total absence of intelligence, and that of  his entire staff.  Show him the EXIT or if your are one of the &;Little Rascals&; and are a member of the &;He Man Womun Hatrs Club&; the EGGZIT.    But whatever we do, please make sure that our next President has at least a clue of how to act in public.

 

CARTEL:
 

The National Football League has, how shall I put it.......crapped in their own breakfast, with me.  I am at a point right now where I don't give a damn if there is a lockout;  a strike;  a plague of locusts; or an attack of berserk Vikings on the NFL and their Player's Association.

 

The NFL players who sued the league for alleged antitrust violations liken the league to a &;CARTEL&; in their latest filing.  I am pretty unhappy that some of the really top players saw fit to let themselves be used by some more &;Union  Organizers&;.  And,  how about the Executive Director of the NFL Players Association,  DeMaurice Smith.   I would imagine that if we watch interviews with him for another 7 or 8 years that he might accidently make an intelligent statement....... you notice I said MIGHT?

 

And what in the hell is going on with the players being able to dissolve the  NFL Player's Union when it suits their purposes---and then later on when they get their way---the just simply form it all over again.

 

Just remember, there are college football games and in almost every area high school football games which showcase the abilities of people who ARE NOT  MILLION  DOLLAR  CRYBABIES-------- YET.

 

Now don't for a minute think that the NFL Team Owners aren't showing a little bit of their elite personalities but in all fairness, most of these owners have invested many millions of their own dollars to purchase and maintain these teams.

 

But to compare them to a CARTEL really shows what a bunch of spoiled whiners professional athletes have become.   I have personally known quite a few professional athletes in my life .... some good and some not so good.   But I can tell you for a fact that none of them ever acted like these high paid  whiners.   Perhaps we should take DeMaurice Smith and at least five player representatives from each of the NFL Teams and toss their unarmed asses out in Chihuahua City and let them work their way back to the U.S. Border.   Then they could get a dose of what real CARTELS are like.

 

RIGHTS:
 

I cannot remember the celebrity's name whom I heard on some radio program last week but they were spouting off about the Constitution and that one of the Amendments, not the right one of course, guaranteed U.S. Citizens the ABSOLUTE  RIGHT  TO  PRIVACY.

 

Now I am sure that this slug was referring to the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution which reads:

 

The  right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against UNREASONABLE  searches and seizures,  shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

 

You notice that it guarantees us the right to be secure against UNREASONABLE actions by the government and it is not an absolute right to be completely secure in your privacy.  Only against UNREASONABLE actions by the government.

 

The very definition of a search is:   &;A search occurs ONLY when the government invades a REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY&;.

 

But these same boobs don't seem to realize the content of the SECOND  AMENDMENT where it says &;the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL  NOT  BE  INFRINGED.&;  They seem to miss the point on that but somehow read an absolute right into an Amendment which clearly states that we are protected only from UNREASONABLE searches and seizures.

 

And unfortunately the majority of these ill informed quacks are Moderate Democrats;  Moderate Republicans;  Judges;  Supreme Court Justices.

Thank God there were 5 members of the Supreme Court which upheld a State's right to enforce immigration laws.  Of course the vote was 5-3 and would have been 5-4 if this latest Obama appointee had not recused herself due to a conflict.

 

God help us if Obama gets to appoint another Supreme Court Justice.

MORE STUFF:
 

I watched part of an interview of t Gingrich by a real mutt, David Gregory.  I was amazed at how Gingrich waffled on some of his previous statements.  This past week about all he has been doing is denying making statements which he actually did make and of course falling back on the typical politician's excuse that he was &;TAKEN  OUT  OF  CONTEXT&;.

 

Gingrich is toast and showed me that he rightfully has a place on the Varmint List.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This afternoon I watched the University of Mexico baseball team defeat the T.C.U. Horned Frogs in the Mountain West Tournament.  Of course this is a double elimination tournament and they will probably meet again and I would hate to make a living having to defeat T.C.U.   Of course the reason I was interested in this game is that the University Of Mexico head baseball coach is a man who grew up in Hobbs, Mexico and I have known for a number of years.  His name is Ray Birmingham and he is one of the best baseball coaches I have ever known.   He has been successful everywhere he has been and was the head baseball coach for the Mexico Junior College Thunderbirds for a number of years and his final season there won the National Junior College Championship.   He then went on to the University of Mexico.  I had a bunch of his baseball players in many of the classes I taught when I was teaching Criminal Justice courses at NMJC.   They were all really well behaved young men and I am sure that much of this was due to the rules laid out by Coach Birmingham.  Several years back I was watching one of the World Series games and the California Angels put a pitcher in the game who had played for Coach Birmingham at NMJC and had been one of my students.  Sure was good to see a nice young man do good.  Anyway, Coach Ray Birmingham is a class act as are his teams.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Earlier today I had to fill up with gas in my GMC Four Wheel Drive Pickup.  Regular unleaded cost me almost $70 to fill up my tank.  Thanks Barack.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well this is it for a couple of weeks.  I sure do appreciate the prayers and the well wishes from so many of you.  Please keep me in your prayers.  While I do feel confident that everything will go well, the closer the time comes the more nervous I will get.

 

God bless all of you.

Seperator Wednesday- May 18, 2011

 

Hello again from the West Texas Center For Gun Clinging Religion Clinging Angry Jingoistic Fossil Fuel Using Right Wing Conspiratorial Mob Members.

 A quick update regarding my health.  I went to my cardiologist last week and received some good s and some s that might be good.  The doctor told me that after all the tests that my heart was actually stronger than he had first believed.  I still have one area which is not functioning at an efficient level and he indicated that a bypass would be of benefit.   I did not like the sound of that all that much but I do have an appointment with a surgeon on May 25th, next Wednesday afternoon, and I will know more after that visit.  I actually feel really good and if the surgery is to come I had rather get it done pretty soon so that we can do the traveling later this summer as we have planned.   I will more than likely do next week's letter on Thursday so that I can have my schedule set.  Thank you all for your prayers and messages of support.  They do help more than some think.

 PESTS:
 No, I am not talking about the kind of pests who can be controlled with a spray or some type of trap.  I am referring to the POLITICAL  PESTS who seem to come out earlier each year.  Now if these pests would call you themselves or have a live person call you then I might be a bit more tolerant.  But today's POLITICAL  PESTS instead use the technology at hand to bombard you with RECORDED  MESSAGES and the most irritating thing about these recordings is that you cannot hang up and disconnect your phone line from their incessant blathering.

 My latest escapade with one of these calls was a couple of days back when I answered my phone and on the other end was none other than Mike Huckabee who had an important message that he wanted to impart to me.   I sort of felt like the little kid, Ralphie, in Christmas Story who was anxiously waiting for Little Orphan Annie's secret message which could only be deciphered with the Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring.  I decided to listen to the very end, which is something I have not done up to this point, and see if I could respond via a recording OR perhaps a live person would be available for my comments.

 Luckily, at the end of this message I was able to punch a number to speak with a Live Representative, and of course I was told that my conversation MIGHT be recorded for security purposes.    I hope they did record my response.  In a few moments a lady came on the line and began her political pitch BUT before she could get started, I began MY POLITICAL RESPONSE.  Since the lady had a pleasant voice my response to her was done in a gentlemanly manner although I was not feeling particularly gentlemanly after being subjected to a little over 2 minutes of listening to Mike Huckabee tell me stuff which I already k.

 I began by telling her that since I was old enough to vote, I had NEVER voted for a Democrat Presidential Candidate.  My first election in which I was old enough to vote (voting age was 21 at that time) was to vote for Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy.  And at that time I was a member of the Democrat Party.  I advised her that my wife and I did support Republican Candidates at the State and Local levels with contributions as well as working at the Republican Headquarters and attending various Republican Organization meetings.

 I then went on to advise this nice lady that I would be happy to give her my name and address so that she might contact the REPUBLICAN  NATIONAL COMMITTEE to check and see what my real attitude is at the present time about how the Republican Party is managed and run at the national level.  I then told her that the useless recorded message from Mike Huckabee had lasted over 2 minutes and that I had been speaking with her for about 2 minutes which meant that someone calling my home would either get a busy signal or no answer.

 I finally told her, nicely, that  my telephone service was paid by ME and MY WIFE and that we had these various telephones situated throughout our home FOR  OUR  CONVENIENCE and not for the convenience of the Republican Party;  The Democrat Party;  The Tea Party;  The Libertarian Party;  The Green Party;  The Socialist Party; or for Followers of Reverend Sung Yen Moon.   She further received information that had the Huckabee Recording or my 2 minutes spent with her caused me to miss an important call that I would not be nearly as nice the next time.

 I also explained to her that the likelihood of me supporting a Democrat Candidate for President would be about the same as Pee Wee Herman defeating Chuck Norris.

 I finally requested that she contact whomever was responsible for putting my home telephone number on a political call list should use extreme caution should he ever chance to meet with me.  I then thanked her for being so patient with me and that I k that she was not the one responsible and the identity of the person who was responsible should forever be hidden from me.

 This nice lady then said that she was very, very sorry and that my telephone  number would be removed from the list............ We'll see.

 Of course Mike Huckabee recordings are not the only ones which irritate me but his was &;The straw that broke the camel's back.&;

 CHOICES:
 Well, it looks as if &;The Donald&; has taken himself out of the Republican Presidential race (No surprise).  The Mike Huckabee removed himself as a candidate.  AH, but t Gingrich has swooped into the race.

 And as most of you have figured out the chances of t Gingrich receiving any support from me are fairly remote.  First of all, he played it way too coy in his announcement and then as I understand it he made his official announcement on &;Twitter&; which does not strike a favorable note with me either.

 But I have received lots of correspondence from people who have supported him in the past who wouldn't pee on him if he was on fire and no water was available.

 But the final stroke, as if I needed one, to put t on the same level as most of the &;Elites&;  IN  BOTH  PARTIES, was when I heard a Clinton Aide tell a radio host that t Gingrich was really the best candidate that the Republican Party could possibly pick.  Now at this juncture, I would like  a show of hands of all those who believe that a Clinton Aide..... no, make that ANY  DEMOCRAT/PROGRESSIVE/SOCIALIST would actually tell the Republicans who their strongest candidate would be. 

 Just remember, in 2008, the Republican Party allowed the Mainstream Media and the Liberal Press to move John McCain from almost dead last to first place as the Republican Candidate.  Now the Republican National Committee might fall for that again but count me out.  Never again.  I will write in a candidate of my choice before I vote for another candidate chosen by loony left wing mutts.

 So what I am trying to say is that professional politicians from any political party are not among my favorite choices.  And remember that there is not a penny's worth of difference between a &;Moderate Republican&; and a &;Moderate  Democrat&;.

 So whomever we choose as our candidate to unseat the world's most articulate and intelligent human, let it be OUR  CHOICE and not a bunch of Socialist Media Varmints.

 OBESE:
 I know that in 2008, Barack  Hussein Obama was elected as President of the United States.  I do not recall the name of &;Michelle Hussein Obama&; on any ballot.  But that doesn't  seem to be slowing down this overbearing, arrogant  female.   At almost every turn we see video coverage of her on any number of daytime talk shows or media coverage of her ever expanding ass telling us, not only how we should be eating but what we should be eating and even more important what we should NOT be eating.

 I will be the first to admit that there are lots of fast foods that are not as good for us as others.  But when the &;First Lady&;  (Gagggg) begins to impose upon the American people her own standards then it is time to draw the line.

 Even today some liberal group is attempting, through legal action, to get the McDonald's Restaurant    chain to drop their  &;Happy Meal&; and do away with Ronald McDonald.   Now I must admit that a goofy looking clown does not make me want to eat at their chain but I also must admit that a &;Sausage; Egg; Cheese McMuffin&; is way hard to beat when you are on the road and want a quick breakfast snack.

 And please spare me any more video footage or photographs of this jug butted squack tilling the soil in the White House Garden.

 A couple of days ago, in keeping with Michelle Hussein Obama's fight against &;Childhood Obesity&;, there was a story reported that our Congress is toying with the idea of introducing legislation which would have an effect on, more than likely, quite a few families.   As you all know, and I am giving these figures from the report I heard on the radio, when filing your annual income tax you are allowed a $2,000 per year deduction for each dependent child.   This legislation would, if passed, NOT  ALLOW this $2,000  dependent deduction if the dependent child were determined to be OBESE.

 I can already see that we need a whole Bureau to keep on top of this.   I suppose it could be called BOOK (Bureau Of Obese Kids).  OR, they could just put it under Homeland Security where &;Jabba The Hut&; (Janet Napolitano) could oversee this WAF (War On Fat).

 I am not trying to minimize the importance of eating right and eating a healthy diet, but if I have a real craving for a giant pepperoni; bell pepper; and black olive pizza, then a bowl of non-fat tofu just won't feed the bulldog.  AND, what's more it is none of Michelle Hussein Obama's business what or how much or when I eat.  Involving the Federal Government in every aspect of our lives is more dangerous to us all than OBESITY.

 Wonder if maybe the Congress will give parents whose children are NOT  OBESE an extra $2,000 deduction for each dependent child?   Probably not.

 So I guess what I am saying is;  KEEP  OUT  OF  OUR  WALLETS  AND KEEP  OUT  OF  OUR  KITCHENS!

 MORE STUFF:
 I can't remember the date but our fearless leader, Barack Hussein Obama was making a speech in El Paso and of course he was talking about &;Border Security&;  and &;Undocumented Persons&; and &;How safe the City of El Paso is&; and a whole bunch of other stuff about which neither he nor his Director of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano have a clue.   Then this arrogant excuse for a Commander-In-Chief, in trying to make small those who favor a secure border look stupid said that he guessed that &;They probably want a MOAT along the border.  Then they probably want ALLIGATORS in the moat.&;

 See now?  That just goes to show you how really uninformed this buffoon really is.   Why would I want our BORDER  MOAT filled with alligators?  Actually my plan would be for the moat to be filled with salt water and my choice of animals to inhabit this moat would be SALT WATER  CROCODILES;   NILE  CROCODILES;  and GREAT  WHITE  SHARKS with the shores of the moat being patrolled by KOMODO  DRAGONS.

--------------------------------------------------------

I know that some of you might find it hard to believe but I do not believe that Barack Hussein Obama has ever studied the History of the State of Texas.   If he had he would not have made this statement;  &;Texas has always been a pretty Republican state, for,  you know, historic reasons.&;

 I can assure you that if this boob had made this statement around Waco back in the 1960's they would have run him out of Central Texas.  But according to columnist George Will:

 &;Texas, one of the 11 states of the Confederacy, was, for historic reasons, part of the solidly Democratic South for almost a century after the Civil War.   Deeply Protestant Texas voted for Republican Herbert Hoover against Al Smith, a Catholic Yorker, for president in 1928, but it did not vote for a Republican presidential candidate again until Dwight Eisenhower carried the state in 1952 and 1956.    It did not do so again until Richard Nixon in 1972.  Four years later, it embraced Jimmy Carter.&;

 &;Other than during Reconstruction, Texas did not elect a Republican Senator until 1961 (John Tower) and did not elect a second one (Phil Gramm) until 1984.

 So as you can see, Barack Hussein Obama's knowledge about any  subject other than Community Organizing is reasonably lame.

---------------------------------------------------------

Is it just me, or has the Obama Administration divulged way too much information on the raid on the bin Laden compound?  And while I am on the subject, the videos and photos of the home in which Osama and his flock were living was a sty.  If this is an example of a &;Million Dollar Home&; in Pakistan, then their construction costs are off the charts.


And while I am on the subject, I have seen &;Crack Houses&; in cleaner condition than how this mutt was living.

----------------------------------------------------------

I was saddened last week when I saw that a friend had passed away here in San Angelo.  He was Judge Raymond Lee McKim Jr.   Judge McKim was 86 and his wife of 62 years had passed away earlier this year in March.  I first met Judge McKim at a Republican Luncheon in about 2005.  We sat at the same table with he and his wife.  I know that I have made some bad calls down through the years but I liked this old gentleman the very first time I talked with him.   Judge McKim had first retired in 1984 but actually heard cases in courts all over the State of Texas from 1984 - 2009.

 Almost every day I would run into him at the Post Office and he was always quick with a dig and he could take a good dig also.  I can tell you he was no fan of Barack Hussein Obama.   He caught me in the line to buy stamps one day and called out so everyone could hear,  &;I don't think they have any Obama stamps out just yet.&;  Of course everyone looked my way and he walked out laughing.

 Hate to lose old guys like that.  His wife was also a very nice lady and after she passed away you could see him fading fast.  I will miss him and his little dog who he always had with him.  You  could almost set your watch by the time he pulled up into the Post Office parking lot and I guess I will never go there that I don't think of this gentleman.

On May 18, 1908 Congress REQUIRES that the motto, &;In God We Trust&; to appear on U.S. coins.

 Now we must wonder when these varmints will DEMAND  ITS  REMOVAL?

May 10th, 2011  COURAGE / TYPICAL / GREATEST
Seperator Hello a day early from the West Texas Plenty Dry Plenty Hot Angry Conspiratorial Jingoistic Intolerant Fossil Fuel Using Draconian Pistol Carrying Believers In The Constitution.

 

I am a day early this week as we will be leaving town tomorrow to pick up a friend at the Midland Airport and will not be returning until tomorrow evening.   We will more than likely be taking a trip to Hobbs, N.M.  some within the next week and I have to squeeze in a doctor's appointment on Thursday.  So this week will be pretty busy for us.

 

COURAGE:
 

My final thoughts on the elimination of Osama bin Laden.  I give full credit to the SEAL Team along with the other U.S. Military and C.I.A. Personnel who had a part in this operation.  AND just so there is no doubt in anyone's mind how I feel about Osama bin Laden being shot by these men, I do not give a damn if bin Laden was;  Armed.... Unarmed.....Awake......Asleep......Happy.....Sad......Depressed....Dressed.......Naked......Hungry....Full.......

Reading....Watching Television......Listening To C.D.s.....Or Making Obscene Phone Calls.  What he was doing is a matter of complete indifference to me AND should be to any American.   Our guys were right and bin Laden is &;No Mas&;.

 

BUT, the Obama Administration has seen fit, in spite of Obama's efforts to show his appreciation to our Military, to change the facts on any number of occasions in the past week or so.  If this does not show the President's complete disregard for the Military, then nothing else can.   Why would you keep changing the story if not for purely for selfish, political reasons?   Of course Obama's crack staff has been left to change their stories also which goes to show that they are not one bit more honest than the President.

 

We have been subjected to many in every phase of the media trying to convince us all that Obama showed &;Great Courage&; in making the decision to go after bin Laden, and of course not giving one ounce of credit to the Bush Administration and some of the policies which in all probability were instituted by Obama's predecessor.  But giving the Bush Administration credit for anything is certainly against the beliefs of the media and the Progressives/Socialists/Democrats who support Obama.

 

I don't know if any of you watched Obama's address to the troops in Kentucky but in typical Obama fashion he had many of the troops standing behind him while he made his political speech.  And since I am aware of the fact that when you have seen one Obama speech, you have seen them all, I watch the faces of the Military men and women standing behind Obama.  While concentrating on them I was not paying any attention to the words pouring out of the mouth of the world's most articulate and intelligent human, but on at least one occasion Obama made an all knowing statement regarding the operation and some of the troops behind him got a real funny look on their faces and cut a couple of glances at one another which leads me to believe that they recognized bull shit when they heard it.

 

Now, if putting up with all the self congratulatory statements weren't enough, a couple of days back I watched a s clip of the Prime Minister of Pakistan,  or Grand Poobah, or Head Monkey, or whatever they are calling this mutt at this particular juncture in time, making a speech to a group of his supporters.  Now I realize that he had to appear all upset over the U.S. Covert Operation inside their country but methinks he went a step too far.  He indicated that this type of operation would not be tolerated in the future and should on occur than Pakistan would reply with the same action against the United States.  Now that might sound good and strong to those boobs, but it seemed to me that he went a bit to far.   How would they respond to another covert attack?   Perhaps send some of his crack troops over here to exact revenge on the hot dog concession at Disneyland?

How would they get over here?   I don't think that goats can swim all that well and I am not sure that camels can swim at all.

 

Then we have those who must remind us that:   &;Pakistan is a Nuclear Power&;, which means that they have at least one nuclear bomb, I suppose.  Now let's look into this threat:

 

The United States has the capabilities of delivering nuclear  weapons anywhere on the globe, and that is many weapons.

Russia, I feel has the capabilities of delivering nuclear weapons anywhere on the globe.

China has nuclear weapons but I am not completely sure that their delivery systems are all that good, UNLESS they receive aid from Russia.

India has nuclear weapons and I am not sure of their delivery capabilities............ perhaps by elephant.

North Korea allegedly has nuclear weapons and if they do could probably have a delivery system of reaching from one end zone to the other in most NCAA  football stadiums,  that is if they didn't blow up on the launching pad.

Iran is working on nuclear weapons and I imagine that Israel would paddle their asses prior to any real aggressive action.

I am sure I am leaving out some nuclear powers but now let's look at;

PAKISTAN:   If they in fact do have nuclear weapons I imagine that India would send their elephants over to crush them but if not, how would they deliver a nuclear weapon?    The only way I can think of is via a &;Stump Broke Donkey&;.  Now if I have to explain the term &;Stump Broke&; then you might check with Barney Frank or any number of elected officials in the People's Republic of San Francisco, OR practically any animal owner in Afghanistan,  Iraq, or Pakistan.

 

BUT what really needs to happen is for someone in our government who has a set of balls, to contact the leaders of Pakistan (AFTER  WE  HAVE  CUT  OFF  THEIR  FUNDING) and resort to the Done Corleone method of negotiations;   Make Them An Offer They Can't Refuse.  And while I am in this frame of mind, to borrow a line from &;The Godfather&;,  Osama bin Laden really does &;Sleep With The Fishes&;.

 

Now back to courage.   To even intimate that Barack Hussein Obama showed COURAGE in allowing the Military and C.I.A. personnel to do what they are trained to do is a slap-in-the-face to all those who show real courage.   Here are  some people who show real courage:

 

U.S. Navy SEALs

Members of every branch of our United States Military

Firefighters

Police Officers

Airline Passengers who attempt to stop terrorists.

Citizens who, without a second thought, go to the aid of others.

 

I am sure I am leaving out many who exhibit courage but those are the ones who come to mind on short notice.

 

But to give your approval to a group of individuals to do what they have been trained to do is not all that courageous and to try to paint it as such demeans real courage.  But then again, we are speaking of politicians and media people.....mutts for the biggest part who have never done one really courageous thing in their lives.  No, they live off the courage of others.

 

TYPICAL:
 

On the front page of the (Sub) Standard there appeared a story with this BOLD  headline&;

 

SAN ANGELO  OFFICER  FATALLY  SHOOTS  TEEN

 

Then below that headline was a smaller headline:  Suspect was reportedly armed

 

Then in regular sized print in the next to last paragraph on the page one article we learned that the &;TEEN&;  who was &;fatally shot&; was in fact NINETEEN  YEARS  OLD.  Then on page eight the article finally told of the &;TEEN&;  fleeing from the police officer and exiting his vehicle armed with a firearm.  But the article was quick to point out that it was unclear if the gun was loaded or not.  The article finally let the readers know that the suspect was wanted for a motion to revoke probation warrant for &;Aggravated Assault  With A  Deadly Weapon&; which is a Second Degree Felony.  And the article ed one of the dead &;TEEN'S&; friends as saying that she had known him since she was 14 and that hearing he was running from an officer didn't surprise her.   She further stated that she kind of expected something like this to happen.

 

This is typical reporting by the liberal media.  When I think of a &;Teen&; I think of my 13 year old grandson or someone who is at least under the age of 18 AND I would imagine that is the view of most people.   In this instance, this &;TEEN&; was old enough to vote;  old enough to purchase a firearm other than a handgun;  IS  CONSIDERED  AN  ADULT IN  THE  STATE OF  TEXAS;  a Convicted Felon.  But the headlines in this instance were meant to immediately garner sympathy for this poor &;TEEN&;.

 

But why should we expect anything different, like the TRUTH, from our local media.

 

GREATEST:
 

On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first sub four minute mile in Oxford, England.  His time was 3 minutes 59.4 seconds.  I  can remember that day and remember the films of Roger Bannister as he collapsed in  exhaustion as he crossed the finish line.  For many years many thought the four minute mile was unattainable and could never be broken but they were mistaken.  Since then this barrier has been broken many, many .

 

But when I think of runners, particularly distance runners, there is one man who stands out in my mind as THE  GREATEST  Distance Runner EVER.

 

His name was Emil Zatopek.  He was  a member of the Czechoslovakian Army.  He was born September 19, 1922.  In the Summer Games of 1948, held in London which were the first Olympic Games to be held after the end of World War II, Emil Zatopek won the Gold Medal in the  10,000 meters and the Silver Medal in the 5,000 meters.

 

I thought that was pretty special.  BUT in the  1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland, Emil Zatopek won the Gold Medal in the 5,000 meter run;   won the Gold Medal in the 10,000 meter run;  won the Gold Medal in the Marathon which is a distance of 42.195 kilometers OR 26 miles 385 yards.

 

And that feat had never been accomplished either prior to or subsequent to Emil Zatopek's performance.  Now, 3 years later he set world records in the distances of 25,000 meters and 15 mile run.

 

In 1948 I remember seeing films of him in the movie theaters and in 1952 I saw films in the theaters and on television.  So since that time, there have been people who have run faster in the Marathon;   10,000 Meters;   and 5,000 Meters but NO  ONE has done it in one Olympic Game.  And in 1952 what is even more amazing is that he accomplished this feat in an 8 day time span.

 

So from now on, or until someone equals his performance, Emil Zatopek is in my books  THE  GREATEST.

Here is a blurb from the (Sub) Standard ;


DUNES  SAGEBRUSH  LIZARD  MAY  ENDANGER  WEST  TEXAS  ENERGY  INDUSTRY

 

&;This precious little three-inch lizard, thanks to the Obama administration, could shut down oil and gas operations in West Texas for a minimum of two years if it finds its way onto the endangered species list.&;

 

Now I'm sure that most of you wouldn't mind paying about double your current gas price to be secure in the knowledge that the &;Dunes Sagebrush Lizard&; is alive and well.

 

The article went on to say that the oil and gas operations in Ector County (Odessa,TX) generated $22,000,000,000.00(billion) in annual spending and more than 61,000 PERMANENT  JOBS.    In Midland County (Midland,TX), the industry is responsible for $29.5 billion in annual spending and more than 77,000 PERMANENT JOBS.

 

Now I don't live in Midland or Odessa but I do know lots of folks in those areas as well as oil producing areas in Southeast Mexico and for the United States Government to put the well being of a damn lizard over the welfare of not only West Texas but the rest of the country as well, is absurd.  But then, Obama and his whole crew are absurd.

 

Insofar as the Sagebrush Dunes Lizard welfare, I am reminded of my great grand daughters solution for the ant population and I think it could work for the Sagebrush Dunes Lizard;   &;Kill 'Em All&;.

Last week I gave my opinion regarding comments made by NFL Varmint, Rashard Mendenhall, regarding his &;Tweets&; about Osama bin Laden.   Well it seems as if Champion Athletics shares my opinion of Mendenhall and have terminated his contract effective next Friday.  The article mentioned that Mendenhall had recently signed a four  year contract extension  with Champion through 2015............. make that NEXT  FRIDAY.   A tonic for his ass.

----------------------------------------------------------------

In last Sunday's Parade Magazine, (which I never read) my wife found an article about a guy named Rudy Tempesta who lives in Chapel Hill, N.C.  who is now 85 years old and has been with the U.S. Postal Service for 65 years, first in York City and since 1959 in  Chapel Hill.

 

&;When I got out of the military, my father told me, 'You'd better get a good job, a steady job'.  That meant the department of sanitation, the police department, or the Postal Service.&;

 

Rudy is a Veteran serving in the Army Air Corps.

 

I really do like seeing stories like this one.

--------------------------------------------------------------

On Sunday, I watched about 6 hours of programming on the Military Channel regarding the training of perspective Navy SEALs.  What these guys go through to become a member of this elite group is absolutely amazing.   Of course any specialized training for any of our military branches is above tough.   Then one day last week I was watching Neal Cavuto on FOX s  and he had as one of his guests a former SEAL, Benjamin Smith.  This was one of the most impressive young men I have ever watched.   He answered every question with articulate and firm answers and of course if there were areas which he did not feel he should discuss he was straightforward with his responses.   This man was a walking recruitment poster for our Military.

---------------------------------------------------

May God continue to bless all of our men and women serving in our Military.  And our thanks should always go out to those who have served in the past.

Seperator
May 4th, 2011  REASONS / LIES
Seperator Hello once again from the West Texas Home For Intolerant Angry Gun Carrying Four Wheel Drive Pickup Driving Fossil Fuel Burning Jingoistic Draconian Pro-Death Penalty Bullies.

 

Let me begin by giving an up to date report on my medical procedure from April 28th.   The heart catheter procedure went off without a hitch but I still have a problem with my heart not operating efficiently.  The heart pumps the blood in at a normal rate but does not pump it our at the proper rate.  From my first visit with the Cardiologist we both k that this was the case and I was told then that he would probably recommend a pacemaker.  I have my next appointment with him on May 12th and should know more after that.  Thank you all for your prayers and kind words.

 

REASONS AND LIES:

 

All through my adult life I have watched people make decisions on any number of issues.  I believe that most people make those decisions for the right reasons and that primarily being that it is the right choice which will have the least negative effect on everyone.  BUT there are those who most of the time make the wrong choices and those are generally for selfish personal reasons.   And that, I believe is the case in the ending of the life of Osama bin Laden.

 

Like most Americans I was very happy to hear the s of the demise of this enemy of our country.  And at that time I actually was more pleased with President Barack Hussein Obama than at any juncture in his holding of that office.  But it was a feeling which was short lived.  In his address to the American people, the speech was less about the real heroes of the event, the Navy SEAL Team, and more about him giving the OK for the operation.  And if you think I am just being anti-Obama for whatever reason, here is a direct e from his speech to the American people:

 

&;And so shortly after taking office, I  DIRECTED  LEON  PANETTA, the director of the CIA, to make the killing or capture of  bib Laden the top priority of our war against al Qaeda, even as we continued  our broader  efforts to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat his network.

 

Then last August, after years of painstaking work by our intelligence community,  I WAS BRIEFED on a possible lead to bin Laden.  It was far from certain, and it took many months to run this thread to the ground. I  MET REPEATEDLY WITH MY NATIONAL SECURITY TEAM as we developed more information about the possibility that we had located bin Laden hiding within a compound deep inside of Pakistan. And finally last week, I DETERMINED THAT WE HAD ENOUGH INTELLIGENCE TO TAKE ACTION, AND AUTHORIZED AN OPERATION TO TO GET OSAMA BIN LADEN AND BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.  

 

TODAY, AT MY DIRECTION, the United States launched a targeted against that compound in Abbottabad,  Pakistan.   A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and  capability.  No Americans were harmed.  They took care to avoid civilian casualties.  After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body...........................  As we do,  we must also reaffirm that the United States IS  NOT ----- AND  NEVER  WILL BE ---- AT  WAR WITH  ISLAM.&;

 

So, instead of giving the American people  the s of the death of bin Laden and heaping praise upon those brave SEALs who carried out the operation, the speech was really more about how everything occurred under his direction.  If it had stopped there then I could have held my nose and accepted it.

 

But almost immediately, Nurse Ratchet, (HILLARY  CLINTON) felt duty bound (probably also under the direction of Barack Obama) to tell us all just what a great ally Pakistan is.

 

Now at this point I would like a show of hands of all those who believe that Osama bin Laden was living in a walled, guarded compound very close to the Pakistani Military Academy,  WITHOUT  THE  KNOWLEDGE  AND ASSISTANCE OF THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT.

 

Almost immediately CIA Director, Leon Panetta, in an interview admitted that some of the initial information which started this ball rolling came from,  dare I say it,  ENHANCED  INTERROGATION  TECHNIQUES.   You remember, don't you, the intense interrogation methods which the Obama Administration said didn't work and took measures to halt them?   Not only Panetta, but several other government officials like the N.Y. Congressman who heads the House Intelligence Committee who also credited harsh interrogation techniques with getting the initial information which led to this event.

 

Then within 48 hours, Leon Panetta disavowed any knowledge of his original statement and of course under questioning Attorney General Eric Holder claimed total ignorance of whether or not enhanced techniques were even used.

 

So as you can see, by the waffling and lying of members of the Obama Administration this president has, while making the correct decision to give the go ahead for the operation, has now tried to turn things around for purely political gain.  And in my opinion only goes to prove just what a self-centered, arrogant individual he is.

 

Those SEALs put their lives on the line and performed magnificently in carrying out this operation and deserve the full credit and appreciation of our country for putting the final touches on the life of Osama bin Laden.  Oh sure, Obama mentioned their bravery but still spent more time in congratulating himself on his decision making abilities.   And I also noticed that he didn't seem to want to give any credit whatsoever to his predecessor, George W. Bush, under whose administration much of this interrogation occurred.  

 

And finally I would like to point out this truth:   A President or the  Department Directors sitting on their backsides in Washington, D.C.,  CANNOT  CLAIM  CREDIT FOR  THE  SUCCESS  FOR WORK  DONE  BY  ANY  MILITARY, or LAW  ENFORCEMENT  FIELD UNIT.   The people and leaders ON  THE  SCENE  ALONE ARE  RESPONSIBLE.  The Administration cannot guarantee the success of any operation.  They can only give the OK for an operation OR as in many cases IMPEDE the success of an operation by not giving the tools and the authority to those people in the field.

 

Now, the next thing will be to watch and see how long it takes before some special interest group or two want a full investigation on whether or not bin Laden was armed or presented a danger to the SEAL Team.  How long will it be before the ACLU or CAIR or some other similar group starts calling for some type of prosecution against those involved in the operation?

 

And of course in the next few weeks I would imagine that you will see some of the Democrat/Progressive/Socialist members of the House and Senate begin to forget all this, &;We Are The World&;, &;Cumbayah&; , &;Reach Across The Aisle&; business and things will be right back where they were prior to the death of a real mutt.

 

My congratulations and praise go to ALL of the members of our United States Military and special thanks to the U.S. NAVY SEAL TEAMS.

MORE  STUFF:

 

I heard a couple of reports today which stated that several &;Native American&; (AMERICAN INDIAN) groups were upset because the code name for Osama bin Laden was &;Geronimo&;.   Then one of the announcers said that Geronimo was a &;Popular Native American Leader&; in the late 1800's.   One must really wonder just exactly with whom was Geronimo all that popular.  He damn sure wasn't very well received by the settlers in Southeastern Arizona.  I don't imagine he was all that beloved of any of the Mexican people whom he terrorized at will.  I am pretty sure the U.S. Army did not have him on their Christmas list.  And I would imagine that he was virtually hated by the Indian tribes outside of his own small group of Apaches.

 

Ah but let's all take every opportunity we can to whine and feel sorry for ourselves.  It has become the rule rather than the exception for various groups to get insulted for any number of reasons.

 

And of course I am not trying to say for a moment that the Apaches along with any number of other Indian tribes received very fair treatment at the hands of the U.S. Government.  But, don't you imagine that the various tribes were fighting each other long before the white men came to this continent?  I guess that political correctness has gained a foothold in the naming of certain people and operations.  Perhaps the next time our Military needs to use something which sounds like it could under any circumstances be confused with an American Indian name that perhaps they should form a &;Blue Ribbon Panel&; to study the matter...................  Beam  me up Scotty.

In the sports page of this morning's (Sub) Standard there was an article regarding comments on his Twitter Page made by Pittsburgh Steeler Running Back, Rashard Mendenhall in which this this NFL Boob said, &;We'll never know what really happened.  I just have a hard time believing a plane could take a skyscraper down demolition style.&;  And regarding the killing of Osama bin Laden, this politically astute individual noted that, &;We've only heard one side.&;  And I like this one: &;It's amazing how people can HATE a man they have never even heard speak.&;

 

WOW!  What depth.  What an astute political mind this NFL Boob possesses.

 

Now, Rashard Mendenhall might have some abilities on the football field but I hesitate to put much faith in his knowledge about demolition of buildings or the character of the leader of a world wide terrorist group.

 

The article also made reference to Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson comparing the NFL to modern-day slavery.  Mendenhall posted this comment on his Twitter Page; &;Anyone with knowledge of the slave trade and the NFL could say that these two parallel each other&;.

 

So with this brief exposure to this Pittsburgh Steeler Running Back I must conclude that he has the I.Q. of a school zone speed limit sign.  Either that or he is just a pure turd.   Either one or perhaps both could fit.  Hey!  Here's a good idea.  We could have Rashard Mendenhall look up ANY ONE of the SEAL Team who took part in the bin Laden operation and he could challenge them to prove to him that their version was the one in which he should believe.  Perhaps an old fashioned &;Trial By Combat&;.

--------------------------------------------------------

OH BOY!!!  Here is a great piece of s for the Republican Party.  Former Mexico Governor Gary Johnson has tossed his had in the ring and is running for the Republican Party's nomination for President of the United States.  Let me cut right to the heart of this candidate.  He is pure VARMINT.  I had rather see Donald Trump's Chauffer as President than this mutt.  He was a piss poor Governor for Mexico and I don't imagine he will get much support from elsewhere.

-----------------------------------------------

Here is a little blurb from the (Sub) Standard from Olympia, Washington:

 

&;Drivers of electric cars may have left the gas pump behind, but there's one expense they may not  be able to shake ...paying to maintain the roads.&;


&;After years of urging residents to buy fuel-efficient cars and giving them tax breaks to do it, Washington state lawmakers are considering a measure to charge them a $100 annual  fee---what would be the nation's first electric car fee.&;

 

Way to go Washington.

Thank you all again for your thoughts and prayers.

April 27th, 2011  BUREAUCRATS / SPECIAL DAYS
Seperator Greetings once again from the West Texas Headquarters Of The Association Of Vast  Conspiratorial Gas Using SUV Driving Gun Owning Jingoistic Draconian Angry Right Wing Bullies.

 

First of all, let me thank all of you for your birthday and  Easter cards and e-mails.  Easter was a beautiful day here in San Angelo, Texas and on Easter Sunday four thoughtful Korean students presented me with a nice birthday plant and a sugar free birthday pie and one of the nicest cards I have ever received from anyone.  It was a nice day and to make it even better our daughter called from California and I got to talk with our youngest grandson (11) who was picked to play on an All Star Ice Hockey Team from Colorado.  The tournament was in Anaheim, CA and some teams from some large metropolitan areas here in the U.S. and Canada.   Our grandson's team lost  only one game and that was to an undefeated team from Edmonton, Alberta by a score of 4 -2.   That Edmonton team had been beating the other teams by much larger margins.  Anyway I was happy to see that our 11 year old grandson was chosen to play on a team made up of young men from the Western Slope area of Colorado which includes;  Gunnison;  Crested Butte; Grand Junction and Lake City.

 

So with that being said I got to thinking about some special days last week and have a few observations:


SPECIAL DAYS:

 

Of course April 21st is now and has always been celebrated in Texas as &;San Jacinto Day&; which was the day in 1836 when Texas forces under General Sam Houston defeated a superior Mexican force under Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.  The Mexican forces surrendered unconditionally to the Texas forces and as Santa Anna was the President of Mexico at that time, for all practical purposes, the Texas War of Independence was over and a Republic of Texas was formed.

 

So April 21st has always been a very special day for those of us who are students of Texas History.  But for the last few years, the mainstream media in Texas has been downplaying this day as it damaged the self-esteem of certain people.  Our very own (Sub) Standard spaper had an article on Friday, April 22, 2011 on page 7 of section A which informed us in BOLD  PRINT;  Remembering Revolution's Last Battle.   The article went on to describe an event which had been held the day before on April 21st had a ceremony at the Tom Green County Veteran's Memorial on the 175th anniversary of the day of this important battle in Texas History.

 

Too bad that the (Sub) Standard  didn't  think this day important enough to be printing something about the event prior to the occasion.  No they print an article the day after.   All 14 flags representing every battle in the Texas War of Independence were on display by people dressed in period costumes and of course along with a salute by the participants using the weapons of the period.  This article said that there were about two dozen in attendance.   There should have been hundreds of not thousands in attendance.  But our local liberal rag thought no more of the occasion than to print a short article on the DAY  AFTER the celebration.

 

Several years back there was a move afoot at the behest of a teacher from the Houston Independent School District to remove any mention of THE  ALAMO;  GOLIAD and several other battles as it damaged the self-esteem of certain students.   Of course this teacher and most other left wing loons fail to recognize the fact that many of those fighting for the freedom of Texas were Mexican citizens by birth and were simply tired of living under a dictator like Santa Anna.  OK.  This pretty well ends my observation on how this day in our state history has fallen on disrepair which now brings me to my SECOND  SPECIAL DAY:

 

This would be April 22nd which as most of you know is EARTH  DAY.  This is a day on which environmental mutts get together and  sing motivational songs and generally show just exactly how ignorant they are about almost everything and of course the latest Grand Poobah of these idiots is Al Gore.  But let's go back to 1970 which was the birthday of the first EARTH  DAY celebration.  On this day, co-founder of this event, Ira Einhorn  was the key speaker at this first celebration at Fairmont Park in Philadelphia.  Einhorn was a self-proclaimed environmental activist and of course in 1970 he was tailor made to preach to the legions of the great unwashed generation.

 

Ah, but as one of my favorite radio personalities used to say, &;And now for the REST  OF  THE  STORY&;.  It seems that on September 9, 1977  Einhorn and his girlfriend , Helen Maddux went to the Philadelphia apartment which they shared I allegedly to collect her things as she and Einhorn had split up.  She was never seen again.   Einhorn claimed that she had left the apartment  she had  gone to the neighborhood co-op to pick up some tofu and bean sprouts.  At least this is the story he told Philadelphia Police.

 

18 months later investigators searched Einhorn's apartment  after one of his neighbors had reported  that a reddish-brown, foul smelling liquid was leaking through their ceiling from Einhorn's apartment.  Inside a closet in the environmental activist's apartment police found Maddux's beaten  and partially mummified body inside a trunk which was also packed with Styrofoam, air fresheners and spapers.

 

Einhorn was arrested and his attorney, ARLEN  SPECTER, arranged bail at which time Einhorn took of and went to Europe where he  was finally arrested and extradited back to the United States.  He was convicted of MURDER and sentenced to LIFE which is what he is doing presently.  Of course being so very intelligent and articulate, Einhorn took the stand in his own defense where he claimed that Maddux had been killed by CIA Agents  who then framed him for the murder  because he k too much about the CIA's Paranormal Military Research.   Apparently the jury didn't buy this bizarre defense and did convict Einhorn.

 

Of course, EARTH  DAY'S organizers began to distance themselves from Einhorn and credit for the creation of EARTH DAY was given to Senator Gaylord Nelson and claimed that Einhorn was merely a Master of Ceremonies.  BUT, that first EARTH DAY was such a success, in December of 1970, Congress authorized the creation of a federal agency to tackle environmental issues ---- THE  EPA(For those of you residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco, that would be the ENVIRONMENTAL  PROTECTION  AGENCY).  Which brings me to my second topic:

 

BUREAUCRATS:
 

Where do we start?  OK, how about with the EPA.  I imagine we have all heard this week about how Shell Oil Company has had to dump their efforts to drill for oil this summer in the Arctic Ocean off the northern coast of Alaska.  This decision came on the heels of a ruling by the EPA's Environmental Appeals Board to withhold critical air permits.   This EPA appeals board ruled that Shell had not taken into consideration emissions from an ice-breaking vessel when calculating overall greenhouse has  emissions from the project.  Of course environmental idiots from all over were thrilled by this ruling.

 

Oh, did I fail to mention that the Environmental Appeals Board has four members:  Edward Reich;   Charles Sheehan;   Kathie Stein;;; and Anna Wolgast.   All registered Democrats and Kathie Stein was an activist attorney for the Environmental Defense Fund.  Even Lisa Murkowski, who is no favorite of mine, called the EPA &;not competent to handle the process&;.

 

Now let's discuss the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board).  This group of bozos has taken steps to file a suit to prevent Boeing Industries from opening a plant in South Carolina.  From what I have heard reported on various s programs, the home of Boeing Aircraft Industries is in Washington State.  South Carolina is a Right To Work State and evidently the bureaucratic boobs of the NLRB realize that their might actually be some people hired at this location who might be...... dare I say it....... non-union workers.  They are claiming that Boeing wants to build the plant there so as not to be forced to hire union workers.    OK, let's say that is in fact true................ SO  WHAT?   Have we gotten to the point where this Community Organizer who calls himself President can now control where business may or may not open a plant?   Evidently so. 

 

In a number of West Texas and Southeastern Mexico, there lives a reptile called the DUNES  SAGEBRUSH LIZARD..  Now while this rather bland looking reptile has been in trouble since the late 1990s, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has delayed or taken the view that federal protection of this lizard  was &;warranted, but precluded by more important matters.&;

 

BUT, WildEarth Guardians said in 2007 that no animals received protection under the Endangered Species Act prompting the organization to file notice that it would sue the federal government for failing to enforce the Endangered Species Act.

 

So now there will be a public information meeting which is scheduled to be held TODAY in Midland, Texas.

 

Of course, oil drilling is a concern since it can disrupt the natural habitat, something to which the lizards are particularly sensitive.  At least this is the view of the Center for Biological Diversity. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!    The &;D&; word.

 

So here is the United States:  with an incompetent boob as President;   badly in need of more domestic oil production;  with a U.S. Senate under control of Democrats/Progressives/Socialists;   becoming more dependent upon foreign oil;  with elected officials more interested in their own re-election than they are about solving our nation's energy problems;  being ruled by Bureaucratic Boards who are manned by more incompetents.

 

How does that situation look?   These various Bureaucratic Agencies are holding us hostage and trying to control every single aspect of our free enterprise system.

 

While I am not at all pleased with any of the Republican presidential candidates, I would rather have any of them or for that matter Hillary Clinton as President than this present bought and paid for Union Organizer who I am convinced is controlled by the Chicago Machine.

 

Anyway, if our elected officials really are interested in controlling spending they should at the earliest possible moment get rid of the EPA;  Dept. Of Education;  NLRB; and take a real close look at ALL of these federal regulatory boards and trim them down to the bare minimum.  Also while they are at it, how about starting from scratch on foreign aid and let the financial aid to each individual country STAND  ALONE and be voted on independently.  I imagine we have all seen the Texas Congressman speaking before the House of Representatives where he said that there are approximately 192 separate countries in the world and approximately 156 of them are receiving some type of foreign aid from us AND  THIS  INCLUDES:  CHINA;  RUSSIA and VENEZUELA.  It has to stop.

MORE STUFF:
 

Here is a s item which I found to be really invaluable information-- Miley Cyrus will watch the Royal Wedding on television.  I was sure glad to hear of Miley's plans.  I wake up almost every day wondering just exactly what Miley Cyrus is thinking or doing at that particular moment.

 

I am sick of the Royal Wedding talk.  I am sure that there are those who are really enthused over this happening but I am not to be counted among them.

----------------------------------------------------

I heard a couple of audio clips from the world's most articulate and intelligent human which he blurted out at various last week.  In one of them he was urging the American people to, &;Lower your expectations&;.  And the other was, &;Use less oil&;.   Now here is some sound advice from a guy who has never held a real job and in all likelihood has never owned his own automobile.   And always remember that this advice he spouts off to us is meant for us and not himself.

---------------------------------------------------

I am sorry that Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot and seriously injured and I hope that she along with the others who were wounded have a rapid and full recovery.  But her attendance at the launch of the Space Shuttle is not a pivotal moment in my life and I have about heard my fill of how she received her injury.  I am still particularly disturbed when I think of how the media made her injury more important than the lives of those who died in that same incident.

---------------------------------------------------

How much longer will we be subjected to &;Jabba The Hut&; (Janet Napolitano) telling us how safe the U.S./Mexican Border is?

----------------------------------------------

And I have noticed that this Press Secretary of Obama's, Jay Carney appears to be able to lie his ass off just like his predecessor Robert Gibbs.

--------------------------------------------------

And once again, John McCain has shown his backside in his visit to Libya and his subsequent TV interview in which he proclaimed in typical McCain fashion that the United States and other nations should recognize the opposition's political leadership as the &;legitimate voice of the Libyan people.&;  McCain wants the U.S. to provide weapons and training to those who oppose Qaddafi.  The White House disagreed with McCain saying that it was for the Libyan people to decide.  OK, if that is the case then why are we sending unmanned drones and other air support to Libya?  And again I must say that while I am certainly no fan of Qaddafi, I am not sure that his replacements will be any better.  I still would rather see us not  get involved in this battle of turds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tomorrow morning I will report to the hospital for my heart catheter procedure.  I want to thank all of you for your words of support and I ask you to all say a prayer for me tonight.  I report in at 6 AM and the procedure is set for 7:30 A.M.  If all goes well they will release me tomorrow.  If they have to put in  a stint then I will be required to stay overnight.  In any event, I will be turning off my computer just as soon as I send out the letter.

 

Oh, before I forget, I got an e-mail  which said that the letters DNC do NOT stand for Democratic National Committee.  It stands for:  &;DISCIPLES of NEVILLE  CHAMBERLAIN.   I liked that.


Thanks and God bless you all

April 20th, 2011  U.N.  / FIRES / SCAMS 
Seperator Update and Corrections…. Thursday - April 21, 2011

 

In my letter put out on Wednesday the 20th I made a couple of statements which have been called to my attention as being based upon invalid information.

 

My statement regarding the 2 Croatian Generals who were being charged by a U.N. Court was taken from the spaper.  My statements about most of the Serbs being Muslim was based upon what had been told to me by people who live in that part of Europe as well as hearing a couple of s items within the past year indicating that same information.

 

I have been contacted by several people who also have ties to that portion of Europe and have given me some information which indicates that my notion of the Serbs being primarily of the Muslim faith was not correct.  Several people have sent me some items which shows that the majority of Serbian people are of Eastern Orthodox background which is Christian and that 85% of the people in that country are in fact Christian.

 

As I said, much of my information was based upon information which I had received from people who are of Croatian descent.  So with that, I must apologize for not having the full facts prior to writing yesterday's letter.

 

Also, according to some people who are very familiar with that region, do not dispute that the two groups do have some opposing views on many things.  But I suppose that can be said of most areas of Europe and for that matter even here in our country.

 

But the main point I was actually trying to make in that particular section was the fact that the U.N. in one of their courts have decided to step in and further drive a wedge between those two groups.

 

The  information I received today did support that the Ethnic Albanians are a predominantly Muslim people who did take part in an ethnic cleansing of Serbs.

 

I also wrote that the Texas reporter was from Houston when he actually was from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

 

Once again, when I write my opinion on a matter, that opinion is mine..... but when I make a statement regarding a matter of historical value, I do make every attempt to check out my sources.  And once again, the people who told me the information regarding that region of Europe were, I am sure, telling me what they believed to be the truth.


Hope this clears up the matter.

 

Jim

 

Greetings once again from the West Texas Association For Well Armed Jingoistic Draconian Huge Carbon Footprint Leaving SUV Driving Fossil Fuel Burning Intolerant Angry Mob Members.

 

FIRES:
 

I would imagine that many of you have seen on various s programs reports of the massive wildfires which are currently ravaging many areas in Texas.  Out here in West Texas there are several which have come dangerously close to many small towns as well as nearing some of the larger West Texas cities.  One of the fires is Northwest of San Angelo and we have been seeing and smelling the smoke from that one for about a week or so.  According to the reports in the (Sub) Standard , nearly 150,000 acres have been destroyed by this one fire.  Also there is another fire near Ozona which is about 75 miles Southwest of San Angelo and it also destroyed quite a large amount of ranch land.  I also heard of one in the Texas panhandle as well as one rather large fire West of the Fort Worth area.

 

All in all, these fires are devastating to farms and ranches in those areas, not to mention the wildlife habitat which is being destroyed.  There have been reports of several homes destroyed and some domestic animals as well.  We have seen many local volunteers as well as every volunteer fire department in this end of the world being pressed into action in an effort to get these fires under control.

 

Of course when you check the humidity and see that it is around 6% along with no rain for a number of months, it is pretty easy to understand how these things can get out of control particularly in light of high winds.

 

As I said, we have seen loads of local volunteers as well as volunteers and firefighters from all over the state come to our area in order to try to get these fires under control.   What we have not seen is a large volume of whining residents and people standing around with their heads up their rear ends waiting for FEMA or for federal help.  Although the Texas Governor has requested that these fire areas be declared a national disaster, the large part of the folks doing something are average Texas citizens who are willing to help their fellow Texans.

 

Funny thing.  I haven't noticed a presence of ANY of the ANIMAL  RIGHTS GROUPS or ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS pitching in either personally or financially.  I'm sure they are all in a meeting somewhere deciding which dynamic move to make to solve the problems.  But of course I have never seen any of these groups do much of anything other than whine in any real emergency.  They are generally too busy figuring out a way to stand in the path of people who are trying to do something to solve problems.


I wonder what their views would be if we told them that there were huge prairie dog towns and large numbers of kangaroo rats which were in danger of being destroyed,  or God forbid, the habitat of the Concho Water Snake was in harm's way.

 

Anyway, my thanks go out to all of those who are working long and hard hours (most of them not for pay) to help their fellow citizens of this great state.

 

UNITED NATIONS:
 

As most of you know, on my list of useful organizations, the United Nations comes in only marginally ahead of the ACLU and PETA.  Come to think of it, I am not entirely sure that I should place the U.N. quite that high.  This past week I read a short article in the (Sub) Standard under the world s from the Netherlands.   The article was titled:  WAR  HERO  BRANDED A CRIMINAL  IN COURT.  This article went on to say:  THE  HAGUE --- A general hailed as a hero in Croatia was branded a war criminal by a U.N. Court on Friday.  &;Croatian war veterans said General Ante Gotovina was being persecuted for legitimate actions meant to liberate Serb-occupied territory.&;

     &;Gotovina and General Mladen Markac were convicted of their roles in 'Operation Storm', a 1995 military offensive intended to drive Serb rebels out of Croatia's southern border with Bosnia, and which was seen as the battle that sealed Croatia's independence.&;

 

My wife and I have friends who live in Croatia and we visited them in 1997 which was just two years after Croatia had won its status as an Independent Nation which was once part of the huge Yugoslavian Republic.   As a historical note former Yugoslavian strongman Josip Broz Tito was born in a small village in what is now present day Croatia.  He became President of Yugoslavia in 1953.  The former nation of Yugoslavian nation has split into several other countries and I am sure you all remember the war in Kosovo and the trouble in Bosnia.  And isn't it a  bit unusual  that all of the problems in Kosovo and Bosnia involved the Serbs.

 

Oh, and one other thing, most of the Serbs are Muslim.  Now isn't that special?  You might also need to be aware of the fact that most of the Croatians are Christian and have little or no use for the Serbs or the so called Ethnic Albanians and no use whatsoever for the Gypsies.  

 

We saw evidence of their war for independence in their capital city, Zagreb as well as many of the small villages which we toured with our friends.  The Croatian people treated us really well and the food was great and their country was beautiful.  We met some really interesting people while there and found out that they like Americans a lot.  Most of their school children take English as a second language very early in their primary education.  But we also found out that they had been under the thumb of a damn repressive government until they gained their independence in their war which I believe began around 1991 and ended when the Serbs were driven out by these Generals who have now been branded as War Criminals by the United Nations.

 

To me being called a War Criminal by the United Nations and their idiotic World Court concept is sort of like being branded a racist by Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or Louis Farrakhan.... for those of you in the People's Republic of San Francisco that means that the U.N. and I are in agreement roughly about the same as those three race baiting boobs just mentioned and I.  The U.N. is a huge waste of time and money.

 

Incidentally, while in Croatia they were having their Presidential election and their President came to the City Square, which was huge and they had bands and all kinds of celebrators at the gathering.  Just prior to the President's speech one of their school bands played a song to start the proceedings.  What was the song?    The Yellow Rose of Texas.

 

What is scary to me is the fact that our glorious leader, Barack Hussein Obama, seems to be taking us in the direction of this one world government fiasco.  And what's more, if the Republican Party doesn't get off their fat asses, he will succeed or at least he will think he succeeded.

 

SCAMS:
 

I am sure that most of you, if not all, have received several of those bogus e-mails advising you that the person sending you the message is a direct descendent of Emperor  Haile Salassie and they have anywhere between 3 million and 5 million which they are willing to share with you if you will only provide them with information regarding your bank account and some personal data. 

 

First of all, anyone who believes that has to have the intellectual depth of a stick of celery.  Of course your first inclination is to answer these slugs and I must admit that after receiving pretty much the same e-mail several , I could not resist the urge to respond so I answered them and told them that I had already been remembered in the will of Benjamin Gump and had inherited enough money from him to last me and my heirs for life.  I told them that actually I had so much money that I had run out of places to keep it and that I might be interested in leasing a warehouse from them if they had access to one large enough to accommodate my enormous  sums of cash and precious metals.  I further informed them that although I was born on a day, that it wasn't yesterday and that they would probably be more successful getting a handout from Al Sharpton than they would getting anything from me.  I then immediately put the sender on my blocked sender's list.

 

Recently a friend of mine also answered one of their e-mails and he was a bit more blunt than I and just told them to sexually penetrate themselves.  He thought that was the end and then recently received another e-mail allegedly from the F.B.I. threatening him with some type of enforcement action for taking part in one of these schemes.  Of course the e-mail was sent by F.B.I Director Robert S. Mueller.  When I looked at the e-mail I noticed that it had been sent on a Sunday evening at 6:30 P.M.  which is a pretty strong indication that it is phony as I would doubt seriously that the Director of the F.B.I. would be hanging around the office at 6:30 on a Sunday evening.

 

But please remember that anything sent form a legitimate federal government location will not have a -- .com or .org or .net at their site.  It will be .gov and as far as I know all of the federal offices including the e-mail addresses of your senators and representatives will all have a .gov address.

 

While on the subject of scams,  I know that many if not all of you have received an e-mail petition asking you to add your name and the 1,000 th person is to send it to whom ever is President.  DO  NOT  WASTE  YOUR  TIME  WITH  THESE  PETITIONS!   In order for a petition to be valid it must have a place for the signer's name to be printed;   a place for the signer's signature;   and a place for the signer's address.  And I am not sure if this is true in every state but I know in Mexico for the signature to be valid, the name had to be printed and signed exactly as the signer is registered to vote.  Any other signature was not valid. But I do know that when you sign one of these e-mail petitions you will suddenly begin to receive a bunch of strange e-mails from some strange places.

OTHER STUFF:
 

Once again the (Sub) Standard seems to occasionally do something which is not completely off the reservation into the land of liberality.   This past week they printed an article about a former San Angelo resident who was a beer salesman for the Russell distributorship.  He had worked for Russell's in Midland prior to moving to San Angelo where he was hired to sell a Texas-brewed beer called the Travis Brand, which was a forerunner of Lone Star.  He also peddled Blatz Beer at various honky-tonks, bars and nightclubs at night.  He got $2 each night to plug Blatz, plus 8 cents for each case sold.  Also he would perform for a couple of hours each night.  He then got lined up  to do a daily radio show on KGKL Radio for which he was paid $2.50 per day 6 days per week.  He had purchased his first guitar at an Abilene pawn shop and his favorite performer was Jimmie Rodgers, the Singing Brakeman.  OK. Who was this article about?   None other than &;The Texas Troubadour&;, Ernest Tubb.  Now anyone who doesn't know who Ernest Tubb is has never really been much of a fan of REAL  COUNTRY  MUSIC.  Ernest Tubb performed for over 50 years and is a real country music legend.  And to this day, &;Waltz Across Texas&; is one of my all time favorite songs.  Ernest Tubb is a true Texas Legend.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot remember his name but another Texas Legend is the s reporter who caused the world's most articulate and intelligent human, Barack Hussein Obama, to lose his composure in an interview this past week.  It was shown mostly on FOX s and played on many conservative radio shows.  If you have not seen or heard this interview the Houston based reporter was asking his majesty, among other things, about the decision to not have any of the space shuttle memorabilia go to the NASA Headquarters at Houston.  Obama gave some lame answer that the decision was made by some nebulous committee and then when the reporter stayed on the subject the world's most intelligent and articulate human lost his composure and became visibly irritated.  He did not give a positive answer when asked if he would campaign in Texas for the 2012 election and then he even tried to say that he LIKED  TEXAS, which we all know is bovine excrement (for those of you residing in the Freedom Loving Worker's Province of Massachusetts this translates to BULL SHIT).  Then when he finished he took off his microphone BUT it was still on and had some pretty sharp remarks to the reporter.  Of course many of the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists were at their wits end over the fact that the Texas reporter didn't kiss Obama's backside.  Wonder where those seekers of truth were when the reporters were calling George Bush a liar?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are a few figures I picked up from somewhere regarding &;Change&;:

 

                                                                            JANUARY  2009                                TODAY

Avg. retail price/gallon gas in U.S.  ..........  $1.83                                          $3.79

Number of fed. employees, no military....    2,779,000                                 2,840,000

Food Stamp recipients.............................   31,983,716                                43,200,878

Number of Unemployed..........................   11,616,000                                14,485,000

Number unemployment benefits.............    7,526,598                                   9,193,838

AND OF COURSE  LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
 

National Debt.........................................$10.627 TRILLION ...................  $14,052  TRILLION

 

Now, don't ask yourself the question........ who voted for this lying mutt?

Rather ask yourself .................................. how can we stop him from being re-elected?

 

According to some of the polls I have heard recently the percentage of the people who will definitely vote for him in 2012 was somewhere around 28%.   So assuming that to be somewhere near the truth, the Republicans had better forget political correctness;  appeasement; earmarks; and a whole bunch of other stuff and concentrate on getting someone as a candidate who will not be afraid to challenge this varmint in public debate and who will not be afraid to call him out in public.   We have all seen that when the pressure is applied he folds like a cheap suit.  If we get another candidate who is more interested in &;Reaching Across The Aisle&;  and &;Compromise&; than in holding this mutt's feet to the fire then we had all better get set for another 4 years of this turd.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am sure that if you are a member of the NRA you have received many calls asking for donations just as I have.  A couple of days back I received a call from someone representing himself as calling for the NRA.  Most of the time I have received a call from them it will be a recording asking you to listen to a message from the Executive VP and then you will hear the recorded message and then a real person will get on the line and explain what they are requesting, which is normally a donation.  And normally the live person with whom I talk is very clear and articulate.

 

On this occasion, however, there was no recording and the guy sounded like Jethro Bodine (That was Jed Clampitt's nephew on the Beverly Hillbillies  played by Max Baer Jr. )  This person was putting the touch on me for a donation first of $100 and when I declined he lowered it to $75,  then to $50, then to $25 and this was allegedly to help fight to defeat SB-38 which the caller said was legislation which would give the Obama Administration the authority to deny to ANYONE the ability to purchase any firearm.  It was explained that they could deny you for any reason other than the normal denial reasons.  For some reason I did not think this was all that legitimate and I asked for a little more in depth explanation of SB-38 and he could not give me anything other than it gave the Obama Administration the ability to deny a firearms purchase for any reason.  Of course I did not nor will I ever commit to a donation OR give any information to any person or any cause over the telephone when I did not generate the call myself.

 

I then went on the Internet and pulled up SB-38 and it came up as a bill which came up in 2008 and had absolutely nothing to do with firearms sales or anything to do with firearms purchases or anything else.  So be aware that all calls, even from some organizations which you support might not be legitimate.  I additionally e-mailed Senator Cornyn's office as well as Representative Conaway's office and asked for information which they might have on any legislation.  I did not e-mail Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison's office as I am not completely sure that she knows where her office is or for that matter what a firearm is.   As you may have gathered I do not have a great deal of use for our other Republican Senator.  Thank God, she is not running for re-election

Please pray for those folks in West Texas who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the fires.

April 13th, 2011  POLITICAL CORRECTNESS / TRIP 
SeperatorHello once again from the West Texas Association Of Jingoistic Draconian Angry Mob Members.

 

TRIP:
 

Last Friday we left West Texas for a week end in Houston, Texas.  The event was one of my 55th High School Class Reunions.   The reason I say one of them is I actually go to two class reunions.  One of them is the year I should have graduated and the second is the year I actually graduated.  How could this be, you ask?   Easy.  I actually loved high school and spent my first Junior year playing and having a good time.   At the end of that year the Administration at Mirabeau B. Lamar High School told me that since I had played so hard my Junior year that they would give me the opportunity of taking it all over again.  So I repeated my Junior year and graduated a year later than I should have. 

 

And I must say that the reason for my repeating my Junior had NOTHING to do with any failure on the part of any of my teachers.  And I actually did rather well in math and history but some of the other stuff was reasonably boring to my somewhat underdeveloped mind.  And while I did regret letting my parents down as well as some others I really consider myself very fortunate to have finally realized my errors in judgment.


But then again, being able to attend TWO class reunions isn't all that bad.

 

Of course it is always fun to see people whom you have not seen for a while and my wife and I sat with one guy and his wife whom I had not seen since 1956.   We had a really good visit and found that he and his wife had gotten married in 1957 and they now raise cattle and also raise cotton in an area not all that far from San Angelo.  Of course many of my classmates have become very successful and have worked in really diverse fields.

 

The whole event was held at a really nice hotel and there were events going on Friday,  Saturday,  and Sunday.  Of course there were those who were absent for health reasons and those who had passed away since our last reunion.  But I am looking forward to my 60th and sincerely hope all those who were in attendance will still be around and in good shape in 2016.  Old friends are hard to beat.

 

POLITICAL  CORRECTNESS:
 

Where do I start?  I actually did not watch but a few s programs over the week end but could not help but hear some of the goings on regarding the now famous BUDGET  CUT fiasco which I believe just shows exactly how weak our political figures have become.  As close as I could tell the Republican Party elected officials promised us a cut in federal spending which began at $100 BILLION.   Then the next figure I heard ed had been trimmed to somewhere around $68 BILLION.   Then the final figure ed to us was an actual reduction in spending of $38 BILLION.

 

It seems as if I remember Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader, e a figure of $32 BILLION as a starting point and of course he was talking about working it DOWN from that figure.

 

So after all the meetings and rhetoric and lies and magic tricks it seems to me as if the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists gave up a total figure of $6 BILLION whereas the Republicans waffled to the tune of $62 BILLION DOLLARS.

 

Ah but some are saying that had the Republicans not COMPROMISED that the federal government would have been SHUT  DOWN.  Well to that I say &;Let 'er rip&;.   In reality the Republicans caved in due to the fact that according to all the political experts, the Republicans would have been blamed by the MEDIA for the shut-down.  Oh, so I guess that now the MEDIA will begin giving Republicans a fair shake, huh?   What the Republicans including John Boehner were in fear of was being thought if in the same light as was t Gingrich back in the mid-90's.

 

Why is it so hard for the Republican elected officials to realize that they cannot play nice with the MEDIA or the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists?  If we have people in public office who do not realize what a bunch of vermin the MEDIA are then they are way too stupid to be in charge of anything.

 

In reality, I believe that these boobs are AFRAID to be truthful and straight when talking to/about or dealing with Barack Hussein Obama as they have a phobia about being called or thought of as prejudiced or racist or something along those lines.  In other words they are more interested in their own reputations and positions than they are about doing what is right.

 

Immediately after the deal was struck I heard some media mutts say that this was a resounding victory for the Republicans but I also heard more say that it was a victory for the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists.   And it damn sure didn't take Barack Hussein Obama and Harry Reid long to get in front of some cameras and claim credit for the &;Largest Budget Cuts In History&;.   I actually heard Obama call them &;Historic Cuts&;.

 

If this is a sample of what we can expect from the elected Republican officials then we had all better get set for another 4 years of Barack Hussein Obama.  As a matter of fact, at this present time I am more interested in keeping a majority in the House of Representatives and having a Republican majority in the Senate than I am in putting my faith in more of &;The Usual Suspects&; of the Republican party.   As of this moment, in my eyes, the Republican elected officials are only marginally less liberal then are the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists.

 

I will address some of the possible candidates a little later on.  But until we get some Republican candidates and elected officials in place who have the balls to do the right thing instead of the politically correct thing, then our country is on its way out.  Please just look at what has happened to Western Europe and some of our cities in the North and realize that political correctness is at the bottom of those problem areas.  Political correctness has our U.S./Mexican Border as more or less an imaginary line which means something to many Americans but means nothing to Mexico.

 

Americans better WAKE  UP............ AND RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

MORE STUFF:
 

After we returned from Houston we attended a program on Monday evening with the subjects being;   Sharia Law and The Muslim Brotherhood.  You all remember the &;Muslim Brotherhood&;, I am sure.... you know... that &;secular umbrella group&; according to James Clapper (National Intelligence).   This administration would have us all believe that the Muslim Brotherhood really plays no role in terrorism and is certainly no threat to the United States.

 

But somehow, Mr. Clapper and our present administration seem to either have forgotten a few facts, or never k, or are just flat out lying.   The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928 and now boasts of chapters in 80 countries.  The &;Brotherhood's&; founder, Hassan al-Banna stated that the group's goal was to assert Islam's manifest destiny and create an empire governed by Islamic religious law and unified in an autocratic caliphate.   He professed that it was the nature of Islam to dominate and to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the ENTIRE PLANET.

 

The Muslim Brotherhood has close ties with Al Qaeda;  Hamas; and Hezbollah.  They are extremely  strong in Egypt and I am pretty well convinced that they will be in charge when the dust finally clears over there.  One of their spiritual leaders, Yusuf al-Qaradawi,  maintains that; &;The civilizational-jihadist process is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization FROM  WITHIN  and sabotaging its miserable house...so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious  over all other religions.&;  Please note that part of the statement; &;FROM  WITHIN&;.

 

I was not aware until last Monday that Jersey Governor, Chris Christie just recently appointed a Muslim State Supreme Court Justice to the Jersey Supreme Court.  According to the information we received on Monday, this appointee has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.   Makes me want to re-think my position of Governor Christie.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have all been subjected to s stories regarding Donald Trump  (The Donald) making a serious bid for a run for the office of President of the United States.  I am still not completely convinced that &;The Donald&; is as serious about running for president as he is about seeing his name in print and seeing himself on TV.  I think that while he is a successful business man, how serious would our allies and even more important our enemies take him.  Now don't get me wrong, I don't think for a minute that Donald Trump would be one ounce worse than the mutt who we have at present, but I am just not sure he is not more interested in stroking his own ego more than serving his country.

mutt who we have at present, but I am just not sure he is not more interested in stroking his own ego more than serving his country.

 

The brutal truth is that at the present time the Republican Party has NO ONE who has shown that they are ready to step up to the plate and swing for the fences.  Once again, political correctness rears its ugly head and as of this moment I have not seen one single perspective Republican candidate whom I believe can defeat Barack Hussein Obama.

 

Oh, one other item.  I heard on a s program this morning when a so called political expert was being interviewed that the last political donation made by Donald Trump was a $50,000 donation to the campaign of Rahm Emanuel for his run for the office of Mayor of Chicago.   I am sorry but I have a bit of a problem trusting anyone who could support that slug.

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and kind words during my past heart scare.  My heart catheter procedure is scheduled for April 28th.  I am feeling pretty darn good right now and feel strong and exercise every day so perhaps I can get through all this with your help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

While on our way to Houston we hit LaGrange, Texas at around lunch time.  I stopped in at an auto parts place to ask them where a good place to eat was.  We were directed to Prauges' (sp) Meat Market on the town square right across from the Fayette County Court House.  It is actually a meat market with a large back room with tables and benches for people who want to eat at that location.   We had lean brisket and it was outstanding as were the baked beans and the baked potato salad.   Really good old time Texas Barbecue.  Of course I stayed away from the sauce which was probably superb.

 

Then while in Houston I met a couple of my oldest friends at Pappas' Barbecue and had lean brisket once again with a salad and it was also superb.

 

Then on our way back home we stopped in Llano, Texas at Cooper's Barbecue which is some of the best on the planet.  I changed from brisket to lean, lean, lean pork loin.  It looked way better than it tasted as it was very salty.  I was a bit disappointed that I had chosen that particular meat.

 

As you may have guessed I do love good food and love good Barbecue about as well as anything so below is my list of favorite foods.

 

Barbecue -   Will Haynes' Barbecue in Houston's Fifth Ward.  The meat was lean and the SAUCE was unbelievable. (Will is dead now but one of my good friends has possession of Will's Barbecue Sauce recipe and the sauce makes almost any brisket taste like a bit of heaven)

 

Mexican Food - Felix Mexican Restaurant- Houston, Texas - I am not sure that they are even open anymore but they were the best outside of homemade.

 

Pizza - Shakey's Pizza - Bellaire Blvd., Houston, Texas -  They are now closed as are all of that chain but their pizza was the best.

 

Steak - Silver Dollar Mercantile - Tinnie, NM.

 

Hot Dog - James' Coney Island - Houston, Texas

 

Lasagna - Sandra McPeters, Hobbs,  NM.

 

Peach Cobbler -  Mrs. Ernestine Patterson - Midland, TX by way of Hobbs, NM

 

Blackberry Cobbler -  Mrs. Anastasia Hopcus + (This great cook was my Mother-In-Law and pretty well everything she cooked was super but her berry cobblers were the best EVER)  And her daughter ain't bad either.

 

Home made Enchiladas - Irene Salgado, Hobbs, NM

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is good to be back home and I feel very fortunate to live in West Texas where the loonies have not taken over YET.

Seriously folks, let us concentrate on the U.S. Senate and the House for 2012 because as of this moment it looks like the Republican Presidential Candidate is going to make John McCain look positively inspiring.  Remember a MODERATE  REPUBLICAN and a MODERATE  DEMOCRAT look amazingly the same, and that is not meant as a compliment.  They need to practice their MODERATION on their own dime,  not ours.


See ya' next week.

April 6th, 2011  CUTS / VOTER I.D.  / CHAMPS
Seperator Hello again from the West Texas Headquarters Of Jingoistic Draconian Fossil Fuel Burning Mean Spirited Gun Owners Of America.

 

First of all let me thank all of you for your kind words and prayers for my well being after my trip to the hospital last week.  I am feeling fine now but I did make an appointment with a Cardiologist who had read my echocardiogram and EKG while I was hospitalized.  Of course those tests showed that I had a heart problem which I have had for the past 12 years.  According to my doctors back then and my Cardiologist my heart pumps blood in at a normal rate but pumps it out at a below normal rate.  This can cause fluid to build up in my lungs which is exactly what happened last week.  I have been able to keep that under control with medication for the past 12 years.

 

My Cardiologist wants to do a heart catheter procedure on the 25th of this month.   He also said that we might be looking at an implant of some type of pacemaker which will help the heart rate and better control my problem.   He did give me the OK to travel to Houston this coming week end  for a class reunion.  I also got put on a more restrictive diet which isn't all that bad.

 

So for the past week or so I have been worried more about my health issues than what the clowns in Washington have been up to.  But I did manage to catch the s stories which of course are the ever changing views on the Libyan conflict BUT our worries are over since GERALDO RIVERA is now on the scene and I'm sure he will be on the front lines possibly leading charges against the enemy..... whom ever that may be on that particular day.  It seems as if it is impossible to get a really accurate report on who is winning the Libyan civil war.  I am sort of the mind as one guy whom I heard ask the question as to why in the world we are getting involved in a war where Arabs are killing other Arabs.

 

Of course our involvement in this conflict seems to change on at least a daily basis depending upon whatever polls drive Barack Hussein Obama on any particular day.

 

CUTS:
 

We have all been hearing about the proposed budget cuts of the Republican Party;  the Democrat Party;   and President Barack Hussein Obama.  As I said I have not been taking the notes I usually do when I am 100% but I do know that apparently Barack Hussein Obama has a bit of a problem with relatively simple math.

 

On the same day I watched one report which said that the House Budget proposals amounted to somewhere in the neighborhood of Sixty Three Billion dollars ($63,000,000,000).   This same report said that the budget cuts proposed by Barack Hussein Obama added up to Thirty Three Billion dollars ($33,000,000,000).  Then on the same day I watched Barack Hussein Obama, in one of his plethora of TV appearances, say that his proposed budget cuts were exactly the same amount as those proposed by the House.

 

Now I do not hold an accounting degree from any college or university, nor do I consider myself a mathematical genius, but I did make good grades in math throughout my high school career and one year at the University of Houston.   And using all of the math skills I possess indicates to me that there is a bit of a disparity assuming any of the figures ed by TV s approach accuracy.   Perhaps someone should point out to the world's most intelligent and articulate human that there appears to be  about Thirty Billion dollars ($30,000,000,000) difference.

 

Of course the Democrat big threat is that the government will SHUT  DOWN and it will all be the fault of the Republicans.  I have listened to some of these Democrat/Progressive/Socialist mutts predict everything from starving children to dead seniors in the street if the government shuts down.  This just goes to show how dependent these liberal vermin want us to be on the federal government.

 

And what really gets my backside red as a three ball is how the elected Republicans and the RNC are handling all of this.  It is becoming fairly apparent that  elected national figures all seem to be following a path which we have become so accustomed.  It seems to me as if perhaps some of these people who were elected last November have forgotten not only WHY they were elected but WHAT  THEY  PROMISED.  The Republican party is handling this possible government shut down from a defensive position rather than attacking like crazed pit bulls.  It is time to be strong and realize that when you appear to show any signs of weakness, the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists will treat them like hungry lions treat a wounded wildebeest on the Serengeti.

 

It is time for the elected Republican politicians to stand up and show some strength and not give in to pressure brought to bear by Obama or the mainstream media.

 

As Don Corleone said rather forcefully:  &;You can stand up and be a man&;.

 

VOTER I.D.:
 

A Voter Photo I.D. Bill just passed our Texas House.  What I cannot understand is why any honest American would object to having to show a photo I.D. when they go to the polls to vote.  But a photo I.D. voter bill has been defeated by elected mutts in the past.  It looks like this one will pass.  But what really burns my backside is that they have also included several exemptions from compliance with this law.  I have lost the article but apparently there were three exemptions listed where an individual would not have to produce a voter I.D. and here they are:

 

1)  If the person has a DISABLED classification on his/her voter registration

2)  If a person is over 70 years of age as of January 1, 2012

3)  If being photographed is against a person's RELIGIOUS  BELIEFS.

 

I am  not sure if there are more but those are the three which stand out in my memory.

 

I don't have all that much problem with the DISABLED classification, however if a person can get to the polls I don't see why they cannot obtain a photo I.D.    I would think that perhaps the State or the County could budget funds to go to the disabled person's place of residence for the photo.

 

I am not sure I agree with the over 70 exemption.  I would bet that damn near every person over 70 would support the photo I.D. legislation and would bust their butts to comply with having a photo I.D. made.

 

And as you might have already guessed, exemption #3 is bullshit.  This gives an open door for non citizens to register under false information.  And isn't giving an exemption for RELIGIOUS reasons violating the SEPARATION OF  CHURCH  AND  STATE as the Democrats/Progressive/Socialists have been preaching to us for many years?

 

Anyway it appears to me as if this is another example of elected supposed Conservative Republicans caving in under the guise of compromise to Liberals/Democrats/Socialists.

 

But I suppose that a weak photo I.D. law beats none at all.

 

Also they appear to have solved one problem before the bill even passed.   Since the State of Texas Motor Vehicle Division of the Texas Department Safety issue Driver's License's and Official State of Texas Identification Cards, that would be the place for an individual to obtain photo I.D. for voting purposes.  At the present time a State of Texas Identification Card costs the individual $16.   If this bill passes the photo I.D. for citizens of Texas for Voter I.D. purposes alone would be free.

 

CHAMPS:
 

I got fairly caught up in March Madness this year and watched a number of the games.  I was particularly following the Butler Bulldogs as it did my heart good to see a small school take it to the big boys.  I really saw some very good men's basketball games in the NCAA Tournament but the Championship Game between the Butler Bulldogs and the University of Connecticut Huskies was maybe the most uninteresting and at least on Butler's part the worst game in the men's tournament.

 

AH, but the Women's NCAA Championship Tournament was way, way, way good.  Of course the two teams in the Championship Game were Notre Dame and Texas A & M.  It was fairly obvious to me that all through the tournament the darlings of the tournament were Connecticut;  Baylor;  Stanford;  and Tennessee who all had exceptional teams.   But Baylor and Tennessee were eliminated and the Stanford was eliminated by Texas A & M and the University of Connecticut was eliminated by Notre Dame  in two of the best women's college basketball games I have ever seen.   This set up the championship game which was played last night with Texas A & M winning their first NCAA Championship in women's basketball.

 

It was a really good game and if the two teams played again tonight there might be another winner.   But as of this moment, the Texas A & M Aggies are the best.

Keith Ellison D-MN;    Stephen King;  Louis Farrakhan;  Mark Warner & Jim Webb (D-VA-By Request Of VA Patriot);   Debbie Wasserman Schultz

 

MORE STUFF:
 

I read an article in our local liberal rag this morning making us all aware that then leader of the Democratic National Committee is South Florida Congresswoman DEBBIE  WASSERMAN-SHULTZ.  I have seen this squack on several occasions as she appeared on one television s show or another but always obviously arrogant and if it was on FOX s and she was on with some conservative, she always employed the typical Democrat/Progressive/Socialist tactic of butting in and talking over her opponent in the so called &;debate&;.  I really never saw the guy whom she replaced all that much but his predecessor was Howard Dean who was a complete turd from the get-go.

 

So the appointment of this beetle should come as no surprise.  According to the article, a Tallahassee based political consultant, Steve Schale said of Wasserman-Schultz: &;She is a tireless advocate, she's loyal, but she's not a soldier,  she's a LEADER.&;

 

When I saw that statement I was called to remember one of the DILBERT comic strips which was on the subject of leadership and one of the characters, Dogbert who was also a consultant defined leadership as &;LEADERSHIP  IS  NATURE'S WAY OF REMOVING MORONS FROM THE PRODUCTIVE FLOW.&;

 

I have seen leaders both good and bad all my life in school and in my work and for some reason or other Debbie Wasserman-Schultz doesn't exactly come to mind when I think of good leaders.   As a matter of fact, just look at our elected officials at every level and I am sure that some could be classified as good leaders BUT they are few and damn far between.

----------------------------------------------------------

Remember a few weeks ago when James Clapper one of our top Intelligence heads told us how the Muslim Brotherhood was a secular, umbrella group with no real agenda which could be viewed as harmful to us?

 

Here is  the Mission Statement of the Muslim Brotherhood which was founded in Egypt in 1928:

 

Allah is our objective; the Quran is our constitution; the Prophet is our leader;  Jihad is our way;  and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.

 

One of the Brotherhood's  founders, Hassan al-Banna, stated that the group's goal was to assert Islam's manifest destiny and  create an empire governed by Islamic religious law and unified  in an autocratic  caliphate.  He claimed that it was in the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power over the entire world.

 

Sure sounds like a &;Religion of Peace&; to me.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Again I would like to thank all of you for your prayers and kind words.  I would appreciate it if you would keep me on your prayer lists until I can get this behind me. 

---------------------------------------------------------

Keep on these Congressmen and Senators.  Now is not the time for weakness.  It is a time to stand firm and shout at the top of their voices that this government shut down which seems to put fear in the hearts of Republican Congressmen/women is not the end of the world.   BUT, a second Obama term just might be  the beginning of the end of life as we have known it.

 

Thank you all

March 23rd, 2011  DEBATE / COALITION / STUPIDITY
Seperator WEDNESDAY - March 23, 2011

 

Hello once again from The Association Of Jingoistic Bullies Of West Texas.

 

This morning I attended the funeral service for Jean Wallman, who was the wife of one of my good friends Bob Wallman.  It was a very nice service with some really pretty music.  I have known the Wallmans for close to nine years.  Bob, of course is one of my good friends and coffee drinking buddy.  And he is also on our prayer list.   I have told you a bit about his volunteer work for various  local outlets.  But this morning I realized that Jean's last injury, a broken hip, occurred while she was doing volunteer work at one of our local hospitals.   I k that she and Bob had met when they were both serving their country in the United States Air Force when they were married in 1957.

 

This was a service in which there was a slide presentation with music showing Jean Wallman at various stages in her life.  I have come to really like those presentations at a person's last service.  Of course many of the slides showed Jean and her family at various ages.  Of course my friend Bob after the service was seated in the front row where the family were all receiving the  wishes of the congregation as they passed down the line.  And Bob Wallman, being the real gentleman I have always found him to be stood up whenever one of the wishers was a lady.  He also stood up for his closest friends and I did receive that honor.  Keep in mind that this man has real problems standing and walking but he is such a gentleman that he still stands for ladies and close friends.

 

I have seen a lot of tough guys in my life but Bob Wallman is my idea of a really tough guy.  He never stops to think of himself but always thinks of his friends and family.  When he found out that I was sending stuff to Iraq and Afghanistan to our men and women in the military he began saving magazines and giving them to me each month to send overseas.  He has also donated some other really good quality stuff.

 

In this morning's service one of the presenters said the while in the nursing home facility Jean referred to the folks who were in charge of her physical therapy as &;The Torturers&; but it was in good fun.  Jean had been a Registered Nurse and after her military service graduated with Highest Honors from Arkansas Tech University in 1984.  And like her husband she was really service oriented donating time to various church groups;  the Girl Scouts of America; and the Daughters of the American Revolution and served as an officer in that organization in several different locations.  All in all she was quite a dedicated and busy lady.  Even as a patient at the nursing facility she held court on many days for many of the employees of that facility passing along her experience in the nursing field.  All in all quite a lady.  She was 78 at the time of her passing.

 

DEBATE:
 

Down through the years I had always thought of a debate as discussing different views on a particular subject.   In Webster's Dictionary the word DEBATE is defined as:    to discuss reasons for and against something;   to take part in a discussion/debate with a person or about a question;  a discussion of opposing reasons;   a formal contest of skill in REASONED argument.  All of these I can accept.

 

BUT what I cannot accept is Sean Hannity telling us that he is getting ready to DEBATE a guest on his show who is invariably a left wing zealot and there is precious little debate occurring.  Or he or some other FOX s employee will tell us that in a few moments we will be able to view the DEBATE which will involve perhaps two conservative contributors DEBATING two liberal contributors and the host always tells us that &;YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS  THE  DEBATE&;.    What they are calling a debate is basically two or more people talking over each other and screaming with perhaps the host, O'Reilly or Hannity, butting in on a more than regular basis so that the listener/viewer is really unable to hear a thought or even realize what has been said/shouted.

 

Now I will continue to watch FOX s over CNN;  MSNBC; CNBC; ABC; CBS; or NBC.  But I have begun to pretty much turn the volume DOWN when it is nothing but a shouting match.  And  of course if you happen to be a guest on the O'Reilly Factor you must subject yourself to the ever increasing irritating arrogance of Bill O'Reilly.

 

Something else I have noticed on many of these so called s analysis programs is that normally the host AND their guests spend a great deal of time in promoting their own books.  I find it somewhat difficult to believe that all of their books contain parts which are germane to almost any subject being discussed.

 

The bottom line is that many of these people have become enamored with their own fame and their arrogance is approaching that of Barack Hussein Obama.  And since we are on the subject of Barack Hussein Obama, on occasion, Bill O'Reilly will make a statement which almost sounds as if he does not agree with the world's most articulate and intelligent human BUT when a guest has a negative comment about Obama, O'Reilly jumps to his defense.  I think O'Reilly is more than likely more conservative than he lets on but he spends way too much time trying to convince us all that he is a true INDEPENDENT  VOTER.

 

Speaking of INDEPENDENT  VOTERS, one of the pollsters did a poll where the question was who these INDEPENDENT  VOTERS  would vote for in a Presidential election--- Sarah Palin or Charlie Sheen. The results were 49% would vote for Charlie Sheen while only 37% would vote for Sarah Palin.

 

Now I don't want anyone to think for a second that I believe Sarah Palin  would be the best candidate for President, BUT Charlie Sheen  would be marginally qualified to put paper advertising slips under windshield wipers at a Wal-Mart parking lot.  And anyone who would vote for Charlie Sheen has a school zone speed limit IQ (which is either generally 15 or 20).

 

Of course I have little or no use for these pollsters but if this is any indication of the intelligence of the sought after independent voters then someone has been wasting a bunch of time on these bozos.  AND that opinion is not open for DEBATE.

 

COALITION:
 

For the past week or so we have been subjected to the reports of the NO  FLY  ZONE over Libya and that this is supported by practically every country other than Elbonia.  Of course the Russians are now against this alleged Coalition of U.N. member countries and I believe that China has also voiced a bit of displeasure BUT the Arab League is for it and that sure is good enough for me..............NOT.

 

Do not think for one second that I am a supporter of Colonel  Moammar/Muammar Qadaffi/Gadaffi (your choice).  As a matter of fact I thought that when the missile attack under President Reagan did not kill the mutt that perhaps a team of trained CIA operatives should have been sent to shoot him in the head.  He is 100% turd from the word go.  But spare me the fairy tale that we are stepping in militarily because we care about Libyan civilians.  Personally I don't give a damn about Libya;  Qadaffi;  Libyans; their pets; their camels;  their goats,  or anything else and I strongly imagine that most of our elected officials could care less about them.  No, this is a chance for Obama to show the &;World Community&; that we are on board for damn near any stupid plan they might hatch in the future.

 

Does anyone remember when George Bush advocated going into Afghanistan and Iraq?   Seems to me as if we had many more nations on board than does this Coalition headed by France.  And almost daily he was being criticized for &;Going It Alone&;.  And taking a back seat to France approaches lunacy.

 

Of course this Coalition is allegedly limited to air support, for the so called rebels, by enforcing the No Fly Zone over Libya.  But this morning I heard one of the top military people say that Libya actually didn't have any planes which could fly and damn few helicopters which could be of any use.  The report was that most of the damage being done by the regular Libyan Army was with tanks and heavy artillery........... perhaps we could re-name it to a No Drive Zone;   or a No Shoot Zone;  or a No Run Zone;  or a No Walk Zone;  or a No Sneak Zone.  Even some of the idiot Democrats/Liberals/Socialists/Progressives think this Coalition move borders on stupidity.

 

One last point on the Coalition of the lame is that none other than Bill O'Reilly on his program the other evening was defending Barack Obama (what a surprise)  when Obama was being criticized by Varmint Congressman Dennis Kucinich for not bringing this matter up before Congress and getting their blessings.  O'Reilly made the statement that when George Bush went into Afghanistan and Iraq that he did not bring the matter up before Congress.  But as surprising as this may seem, the world's second smartest individual, was wr - - -;  mista- - -; in err - -;........ full of shit and to make matters worse, the guest he made this statement to was Carl Rove who IMMEDIATELY made Mr. O'Reilly aware of his errors.

 

But O'Reilly being such a big man at the end of the segment did apologize for his mistake which is more than I can say for the world's most articulate and intelligent human.  But O'Reilly was caught dead to rights and couldn't do anything else.  Who says there is no Santa Claus?

 

STUPIDITY:
 

Where do I start?   Earlier this week in the (Sub) Standard there was an article entitled:  2 Bush Officials In Running To Be Next Head of  FBI.  The two men mentioned are:  James Comey and Kenneth Wainstein.  The article pointed out that  Comey became a hero to Democrats who opposed President Bush's warrantless  wiretapping when Comey refused to reauthorize it.  Comey also opposed tough interrogation tactics against suspected terrorists.  Others in the running are some of the usual suspects including Jamie Gorelick.   Remember her as a member of the 9/11 Commission.  Also remember that she was one if the instigators of the Federal Law Enforcement agencies NOT sharing information with other Federal Law Enforcement agencies.  Sounds  like she would be a typical choice for an administration which apparently prides itself of stupid appointments.

 

Stupid appointments you say?  Why Jim how can you say that?

 

OK.  Eric Holder;  Janet Napolitano;  Kathleen Sebelius;  Timothy Geithner;  Rahm Emanuel;  Robert Gibbs;  David Axelrod.........  Need I go on?

 

What is really unfortunate is that many good FBI Agents will be subjected to the whims of someone who has no clue as to what is necessary to  insure that the FBI Agents have the tools necessary to  successfully do their jobs.  Not the least of which is being required to deal with a Justice Department who has a complete buffoon at the helm.   But then that could be said for almost every branch of the federal government.  We have already seen how the stupidity at the wheel of the Homeland Security Department has actually cost lives.

 

Just keep all of these things in mind when the next election comes up.  Remember the Republicans as well as the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists who vote for confirmation of these varmints.

&;The vocabulary of the political left is fascinating.  For example, it is considered MATERIALISTIC  and GREEDY to want to keep what you have earned.  But it is IDEALISTIC to want to take away what someone else has earned and spend it for your own political benefit or to feel good about yourself.&;...........................   THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;The Obama administration seems to be following what might be called the 'Detroit Pattern'---increasing taxes, harassing businesses, and pandering to unions.  In the short run, it got mayors re-elected.  In the long run, it reduced Detroit from a thriving city to an economic disaster area, whose population was cut in half, as its most productive citizens fled.&;...................... THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;Whoever said, 'The pen is mightier than the sword', obviously never encountered automatic weapons.&;....... DOUGLAS  MAC ARTHUR

 

&;To preserve liberty, it essential that the whole body of the people always posses arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them.&;..................   RICHARD  HENRY  LEE - 1788

    

&;Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of the chains of slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.&;..... PATRICK  HENRY

MORE  STUFF:
 

Well this week a person from Texas made perhaps one of the more ignorant statements when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made a statement comparing the NFL lockout to slavery.  What I really think of Peterson is not fit to print so for now I will just agree with the sports reporter who commented that perhaps Mr. Peterson had slept through American History classes.   The commentator nor I can ever remember a slave who earned a salary of $12,000,000.00 per year. 

This once again shows that some of our professional athletes are not only stupid but are also greedy.   And that also goes for some of the owners.  Personally on the subject of the 2011 NFL Season I have adopted the Rhett Butler attitude:   Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

--------------------------------------------------------

Earlier in the week some local rocket scientist made a keen observation in a 'Letter To The Editor' of the (Sub) Standard regarding the 'right-wing' agenda.  This master of political science submitted to the editorial the following list of items which  he/she perceives to be the highlights of the 'right-wing' agenda and for your perusal, here they are:

 

*Destruction of the middle class.  Create a society in which a few multimillionaire corporate executives and CEO's control almost all the nation's wealth.

 

*Do away with  almost all regulation of business.   Allow industry to ignore pollution, unsafe working conditions and unsafe products.

 

* Use voter ID laws to inconvenience young adults in hope they won't vote. Use the claim that such laws are needed to prevent fraud.

 

*Use public schools as a political indoctrination tool.  Rewrite history and social studies textbooks to promote a partisan agenda.

 

*Use one-sided talk radio, FOX s and other right wing propaganda outlets to mislead.

 

*Use religion as a political indoctrination tool.

 

Now if you will just look at each of these items presented by this politically ignorant boob you will notice that several of them are now and have been used by the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists for a number of years;  PARTICULARLY the Destruction of the middle class;  Opposing voter ID legislation so that they can continue to falsely register Democrat voters such as was done by ACORN in the last election;  Using public schools for political indoctrination;  Using opposing religion as an indoctrination tool.  Keep in mind that these idiots attempted to get a left wing, liberal, progressive, socialist radio network started and they fell flat on their asses.  I guess this mutt has never heard of NPR or PBS.

 

Anyway some it is sort of funny to see really how ignorant these people really are.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now see, this past week when all of you have been concerned with the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and nuclear power plant meltdowns in Japan;  or perhaps you have been foolishly watching us get involved in the Libyan civil war.

 

I, on the other hand, have been monitoring the effect of the death of Rapper, &;Nate Dogg&; on the West Coast.  His attorney, Mark Geragos pointed out to us that &;Nate Dogg:, whose real name was Nathaniel D. Hale, wasn't just a &;rapper&;, but an integral figure in the genre: (his words, not mine);  His voice wasn't particularly melodic, but its tone--at menacing, at playful, yet always charming--provided just the right touch on hits including;  Warren G's &;Regulate&;,   50 Cent's &;21 Questions&;, Dr.  Dre's &;The Next Episode&; and countless others.(Damn, they sure don't make 'em like that anymore, do they?)  He is best known for his contributions to the West Coast soundtrack provided by the likes of;  Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Tha Dogg Pound and more.  I suppose it was best said by long time friend, Snoop  Dogg-&;We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb. One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met.&; Snoop Dogg tweeted on Tuesday.

 

Damn, but that Snoop Dogg has a way with words, doesn't he?  Anyway, I am sure not all of you will take this tragedy as seriously as do I.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keep on these elected mutts and if they don't do the right thing, DUMP 'EM.

 

That's about it for this week.


Stay cool

Seperator WEDNESDAY - March 16, 2011

 

Greetings once again from the Headquarters for The Gun Carrying Fossil Fuel Burning Pickup Truck Driving Angry Jingoistic West Texas Bullies.

 

JAPAN:
 

We have all, of course, been seeing lots of programming on the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and the damage done to various parts of Japan.  What is truly amazing is seeing the water moving inland from an aerial view and then observe the same situation at a ground view.  On the ground the speed of the water is much more noticeable.  But regardless of which view you are watching, the power generated by this wave is absolutely incredible.

 

I am of course very concerned about the problems at the nuclear plants which are experiencing multiple problems.

 

One morning I heard one report from a non-FOX s source which reported that there had been a &;Nuclear Explosion&; which of course was not the case.  It is fairly obvious that many in the media wouldn't know a &;Nuclear Explosion&; from a shoebox full of horse crap.  And also what concerns me is that this problem at the Japanese nuclear plants will drive the environmental vermin to a feeding frenzy of such magnitude that they will resemble Cujo at your car window.   Of course these are the same people who scream like drugged howler monkeys over &;Petroleum Energy&;;   &;Natural Gas Energy&;;   &;Coal Energy&;;  &;Energy Generated by Animal Power&;; BUT enter a state of euphoric bliss at the mention of &;Wind Energy&; or &;Ethanol Energy&;.

 

I heard a report on one program regarding the deaths caused by &;Nuclear Energy&; and I believe it was for the United States, and the total death toll was 7.   By the same standards, there were 47 deaths attributed to &;Wind Energy&; farms. (One must assume that these 47 deaths were due to falls from great heights etc.....)    And of course there have been a number of deaths caused by accidents at coal mines as well as a number of deaths at refineries and gas plants as well as on drilling locations.  So it seems as if any source of energy  carries the element of danger.

 

But one thing I have noticed that the Japanese people with all  the negative occurrences which they are experiencing currently, I have noticed a rather noticeable  absence of LOOTING and WHINING.  I guess those two behaviors are reserved for the Orleans 9th Ward residents.  I actually heard a couple of s reports on the first day of this tragedy being compared to Hurricane Katrina.  From what I have seen this is a really stupid comparison since much of the negative behavior was actually brought about by the Orleans residents not paying attention to warnings which were given to the State, Parish, and City in plenty of time for some pre-disaster action.   This earthquake came about rather suddenly as did the tsunami wave which hit Japan.

 

And let us not forget that the mainstream media was predicting massive destruction along the California coast.  I have seen some high water damage at one particular spot in Northern California.   It seems as if the remainder of the West Coast was besieged by surfers waiting for &;The Big One&;.

 

Anyway, the Japanese people have acted very responsibly after this disaster and have restrained from looting businesses which had nothing to do with either the quake or the flooding and in many areas have already begun their clean up activities.  Isn't that amazing that people realize  that it is up to them to repair their damaged property and clean up the damage rather than waiting on FEMA.

 

HOME:
 

Since I am on the subject of whining, I cannot help but point out Representative Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota) in last weeks hearings going into his completely FAKE crying act allegedly being driven to tears over the story of the death of a Muslim man on 9/11.   I watched this phony turd on several different occasions and failed to notice any sincerity in his act.  Of course whining was not the exclusive property of this Muslim Congressman.   No sir, Representative Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TEXAS) felt it necessary to point out to us members of the ignorant masses that the Constitution was a &;Living, Breathing, Document&;.   Every time I hear one of these slugs refer to our Constitution as a &;Living, Breathing, Document&;  I want to scream loud enough to make Jesse Jackson shut up.

 

Modern day Liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Democrats tell us that our Constitution is a &;Living, Breathing Document&; that &;Changes With The &; without realizing that they are actually recommending the very system the colonists sought to escape.  The British Constitution was very flexible----actually too flexible for the colonists, who were inflexibly committed to upholding their traditional rights.  The &;Living, Breathing  British Constitution&; was no safeguard of American Liberties.  So in reality all this &;Living, Breathing&; talk is a big load of politically correct bull-shit.

 

Also on the home front a couple of Obama appointees have once again showed their respective asses regarding not only border security but a pretty broad ignorance about foreign policy.   I am referring of course to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Incompetenapolitano and one of the top Security Advisors, James Clapper, both of whom are members of our Varmint List.   It is really hard for me to watch either of these two buffoons for a very long period of time.

 

Incompetenapolitano of course  took the stance of being &;Uninformed&; regarding the details of the ATF Operation which allowed  several hundred weapons to cross the border into Mexico AGAINST the wishes of the field ATF Agents.  And of course James Clapper when asked  to name the country(countries) which posed the greatest  threat against the United States blurted out China and later added Russia.  Hmmmm.  Wonder what ever happened  to North Korea;  Iran; Any number of Middle East Countries who harbor and support al Qaeda and other Radical Islamic Terrorists.   And I know it is probably politically incorrect to perhaps cast an eye towards Mexico and a few South American countries who are causing us problems on a daily basis RIGHT  NOW.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I have no great love or respect for China or Russia, for that matter, but I don't believe either of them believe for a second that they could get away with a bunch of stupid crap.  However North Korea and Iran are pretty much under the control of some real incompetents and might try to pull some stuff.   Of course our federal government is also being operated by real incompetents also which makes us pretty much a second rate Republic, particularly in the eyes of other incompetents.

 

Ah, but are we not fortunate during all of the problems in the Middle East;  Japan;  The Indian Ocean;  Mexico; and other locations around the globe, to learn that President Barack Hussein Obama appears to be more concerned with the &;Brackets&; for the upcoming &;March Madness&;? (Now for those of you presently residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco, I am referring to the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament)

 

LIBYA:
 

Again, we have all been privileged to receive daily information on the revolt in Libya by some dissatisfied residents of that oil rich kingdom.  Once again, I am certainly not a supporter of Colonel Muammar Qaddafi (Moammar; Gaddafi; Qadaffi; Gadaffi;  take your pick) and should someone get lucky and put a well placed round in his ear, I would lead you all in a huge Snoopy Dance.  But our fearless leader didn't say a damn thing until last week and then he let it be known that Colonel Qaddafi MUST  GO and MUST  GO NOW.  Of course this empty threat of &;Holding Qaddafi Accountable&; had barely escaped the mouth of the World's Most Articulate and Intelligent Human, when the Army under the control of Colonel Qaddafi began to turn this &;Revolution&; around.  It was almost as if Qaddafi was waiting for our &;Buffoon-In-Chief&; to make such a statement so that he could order his forces to stop fooling around and put these people back in line.  Now right off the bat I noticed a few differences in the forces at odds in Libya.  I am sure there are more but here is what came to mind right off the bat:

 

LIBYAN ARMY:  Trained Troops;  Well Armed:  Ammunition;   Aircraft;  Bombs; Tanks; Heavy Artillery; Trained Leaders.

 

LIBYAN REBELS:  Untrained troops;  Mediocre armed;  Low ammunition supply; No aircraft;  No bombs;  No tanks;  No heavy artillery;  No trained leaders.

 

Now I am no military expert but just being in possession of these facts I could have almost predicted the Libyan Army making marked headway toward regaining control over that country.

 

I also watched several locations which were broadcasting live reports from the Rebel camps.  Several of the reporters told us that the Libyan Rebels wasted scarce ammunition by shooting into the air anytime a camera was in view.  Also trying to bring down a jet fighter with a shoulder launched RPG is pretty much like going bear hunting with a willow switch.  And this is particularly true when you shoot at these attacking aircraft AFTER THEY HAVE  DROPPED  THEIR BOMBS  AND  LEFT  THE AREA.  Of course no one has yet to prove to me that anyone in Libya knows dog crap from apple butter to begin with.

 

Ah, but we have a move afoot to get the UN to declare a NO  FLY  ZONE over Libya.  First of all you would have to explain to many of those countries just exactly what a NO  FLY ZONE really was AND if it were violated, what would the UN do? Oh, I know they would issue a resolution imposing sanctions against Libya.  Those have really worked well in the past, haven't they?

MORE STUFF:
 

Let me pose this for you.  While our media is busy giving us 24 hour coverage on the tragedy in Japan and the Libyan and Middle East turmoil I believe that while our attention is is focused on those area, the elected vermin will take this opportunity to try an sneak some real questionable stuff by us.  So I am urging everyone to pay attention to what these elected people are up to while we are focused on other parts of the world.

 

Almost sounds as if I don't trust our elected officials doesn't it?  We cannot afford to let our guard down for even a short while.  It just doesn't take long for those folks in Washington, D.C. to pass something will be harmful to the American people.  Watch them like a hawk.

----------------------------------------------------

Over this past year how many have we heard the Liberals/Socialists/Progressives/Democrats tell us how violent and racist those vicious &;Tea Party&; people are?   At almost every event they have reported that the Tea Party people have been screaming racial slurs at minority officials.  Of course there were cameras taking film and video from every angle and not one instance of racial language has been shown and we all know that if such a film existed that it would have been shown several per hour on the mainstream media.  It just simply doesn't happen or else the mainstream media camera people have the intellect of a box if trail mix.  Ah, but that doesn't mean that certain demonstrations do not turn violent but since these are reflecting the behavior of Liberals/Progressives/Socialists it is seldom seen.

 

However with all the demonstrations occurring in Madison, Wisconsin at the State Capital, were almost entirely made up of Liberals/Democrats/Progressives/Socialists there was not a large amount of radical behavior preserved on film or video.  HOWEVER there were a few moments and the thought occurred to me that these were just somewhat cleaned up hippies protesting just about everything in which the American government was involved.

 

Oh, and these &;Peaceful&; union workers who were just interested in collective bargaining issues only did a little over SEVEN  MILLION  DOLLARS in damage to the Wisconsin Capital building.  I saw one bearded boob wave at the camera with the obligatory, &;Hi Mom&; as he was being bodily dragged away from a door which he was blocking.

 

But the Wisconsin Governor is standing by his guns and that is good.  Oooops!  Did I just make a politically incorrect statement?  &;Standing by his guns&;.  Why that almost sounds like &;Hate Speech&;.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I have had some people write me and ask me if I weren't going too far by calling members of the elected community;  Varmints;  Vermin;  Mutts;  Boobs;  Buffoons;  Turds;  etc...........   Well, I must sat that I have absolutely no negative feelings about calling a turd a turd.  I just wonder if those same folks get upset when that radical Baptist church and radical minister and radical congregation gather at the funeral of a member of the  U.S. Army;  Navy; Marine Corps;  or  Air Force and scream obscenities at the dead hero's family members?  No doubt a bunch of Tea Party members.  The United States Supreme Court should be ashamed of themselves over this ruling.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Let me recommend a pamphlet which ever American should read.  The title:  Sharia Law for Non-Muslims.  Published by the Center for the Study of Political Islam.  ISBN 0-9796794-8-6, Published by CSPI,LLC;  WWW.CSPIPUBLISHING.COM

 

It is only  48 pages in length but explains quite a bit about Sharia Law and just exactly how we are viewed by &;The Religion of Peace'  and what they have in store for us.

-------------------------------------------------

Also keep on these incumbents asses and let them know what we have in store for them if they don't start to doing what they promised when they were elected.  Also get in touch with the Republican National Committee and let them know that their performance over the past 4 years is unacceptable.   Let them know that they have allowed our country to slide to its lowest point in our lifetime.

 

If Obama is not replaced in 2012 we can kiss our asses goodbye because the game will be over and America as we have known it will cease to exist.

----------------------------------------------

On a sad note, my good friend Bob Wallman who is on our prayer list, lost his wife last Monday.  She had been confined to a nursing home while recovering from a broken hip.  Bob is a really good person and his wife was very active in the D.A.R and a number of other historical societies.  So he really needs our prayers now.  Fortunately Bob has a daughter and a son who live here in San Angelo.

-----------------------

God bless you all and I'll see ya' next week.

WEDNESDAY - March 9, 2011

 

Greetings from the West Texas Association Of Jingoistic Conspiratorial Anti-Global  Gun Owning Burners Of Carbon Monoxide Causing Fuel.

 

BORDER:
 

I don't even know where to begin on this.  I watched Homeland Security Secretary Janet Incompelitano on the Huckabee television program last Sunday.  Of course Huckabee was way softer on her than necessary giving her a break but she just couldn't resist taking advantage of the opportunity to show just exactly out of touch with reality she really is.   Then later in the week we heard of the ATF &;Whistleblowers&; and the story breaking about firearms which were allowed to cross the border from the United States into Mexico as a part of an ATF operation to locate where and to whom these firearms would end up with eventually.

 

The manner in which this investigation was handled was apparently strongly objected to by ATF Agents.  Eventually two of these weapons were recovered at the scene of a murdered Customs and Border Protection Agent, Brian Terry.  One report said that one of the weapons allowed to cross into Cartel hands was a Barrett Model 99 .50 caliber sniper rifle.  I believe that many of us have seen the range and effectiveness of this rifle as used by U.S. and Canadian snipers in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Being a veteran law enforcement I realize the value of letting the small fish go in order to catch the big fish.  And in certain circumstances I can agree and have participated in undercover operations where a person on the low end of the chain of a criminal enterprise is not prosecuted in order to obtain a conviction of the head of the organization.  I understand that concept probably better than most.  BUT there must be some limits to what the small fish is allowed to do.  I have participated in many operations such as this in my 45 year career.  BUT, I cannot think of a single incident where someone lost their life as a result of allowing the small fish to skate on charges.

 

And of course, the operations in which I and other officers were involved had some pretty strict guidelines and generally were viewed by live surveillance;   on occasion filmed;  and on other occasions recorded on tape.  And in most of those cases the supervisors and administrators were kept informed but did not call the shots on the operation.

 

AND, to continue in the &;FISH&; analogy, in the event that the &;Small Fish&; lied or did something against your instructions, he/she was immediately put out for consumption of the Friday All You Can Eat Buffet.    Now for those of you currently residing in The People's Republic Of San Francisco, this means that they were dropped in the grease;  prosecuted for the crime which they had committed; thrown to the wolves;  or any other metaphorically vivid description which you may conjure up.

 

Apparently this is not the case with this ATF operation.  And what makes it worse in my eyes is also last week we were subjected to a rather lengthy s conference in which President Barack Hussein Obama and Mexican President Felipe de Jesus Calderon.  I suspect that you all know my opinion of President Barack Hussein Obama but perhaps you do not know just exactly how low I place President Felipe de Jesus Calderon.   Calderon is an arrogant whining rat.  OK, so now you know.  In this s conference we were once again subjected to Obama kissing up to Calderon and again exhibiting just exactly how ignorant he appears regarding the politics of Mexico.

 

The incident where an American Agent assigned to the Embassy in Mexico City was killed and another injured by ambush supposedly by drug cartel thugs.  It was brought out that our Agents when assigned in Mexico ARE  NOT  ALLOWED  TO  CARRY  ARMS.  Of course Calderon said that in order to get that rule relaxed he would need the approval of the Mexican Congress.......... OK, then get off your whining ass and get it done!  And to take it a step further, WHY  HAS  IT  NOT  ALREADY  BEEN  DONE?

 

The bottom line is simply this.   Our federal law enforcement agencies are under the guidance of some really incompetent slugs.  Law enforcement in Mexico is under the guidance of a super corrupt administration....let me re-phrase that  ANOTHER  SUPER  CORRUPT  ADMINISTRATION.  If you look back into the History of Mexico you will more than likely learn that Mexico has been under the leadership of some really dictatorial folks.

 

AND, if you believe that these drug cartels could have operated for as long as they have without the knowledge AND assistance of the Mexican Government then you have the intellect of a paper weight.  And in spite of the assurance of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Incompelitano, the  Mexican/U.S. border IS  NOT  SAFER  THAN IT  HAS BEEN  IN  YEARS.  So to  this winner of the &;Jabba The Hut&; look alike contest I have but two words;  YOU  LIE!

 

HEARING:
 

As we speak, there are hearings being presided over by House Homeland Security Committee Chairman, Representative Peter King - R-NY.  Now it is a rare occasion indeed when I agree with a York politician.  But I do agree with the views of Congressman Peter King.   Representative King took the unpopular and politically incorrect stance that there is at present a concentrated effort to radicalize elements within the Muslim population.   Representative King made this statement:  &;I don't believe there is sufficient cooperation by American Muslims with law enforcement.&;  Representative King additionally recognizes that al-Qaida terrorists are attempting to recruit Muslim youth in this country.

 

But at the same time the White House is praising American Muslims for helping fight violent extremism.  Deputy National Security Adviser Denis  McDonough while speaking at an interfaith forum at a Northern Virginia mosque, commended its members for taking an &;unequivocal&; stand against terrorism.

 

But I would be surprised if the White House took any other stance.  It is almost humorous to watch these elected candy asses who have sat around for years while Colonel Muammar Qaddafi (Gadaffi, Gaddafi,Qadaffi or any other spelling you might choose) acted like the turd he is, have had very little to say about him, are now, with the Libyan leader appears to be on the run,  calling for his head.  AND President Barack Hussein Obama came down with the tough statement that Qaddafi needs to go NOW.  And that he would be &;HELD  ACCOUNTABLE&; for his actions.  One must wonder just exactly HOW this turd will be HELD  ACCOUNTABLE?  Of course the world's most articulate and intelligent human NEVER tells us how any of his so called sanctions will actually help matters at all.

 

AND, just why have our leaders Republican as well as Democrat have averted their eyes away from Colonel Qaddafi for a number of years.  It seems to me that when Colonel Qaddafi claimed  credit for the bombing of the passenger jet over Lockerbie, Scotland  he permanently placed himself on the hit list.   Why Jim,  it almost sounds as if you would be for sending in a team to take this turd out?  Yep, that's what it sounds like alright.  Call me crazy but I have not observed many U.N. Sanctions  or Obama threats which have HELD  ACCOUNTABLE many who needed some serious punishment.  HEY!!  Maybe we can hold some hearings to determine whether or not Colonel Qaddafi is behind Muslim terrorism.  But that would call for a vast majority of the elected mutts to admit to something which is not politically correct.

 

So, Barack,  spare us all your tough talk.  OH!  Before I forget, remember in 2008 when Presidential Candidate assured Americans that the prison at Guantanamo WOULD  BE  CLOSED  and that the terrorist bastards being held there WOULD  RECEIVE  CIVILIAN  TRIALS?  Seems as if Guantanamo is still open, as it should be AND the terrorists will instead of civilian trials be tried by Military Tribunal.  Actually this is as it should be.  BUT what this shows me about President Barack Hussein Obama is that he will say whatever gets him the most votes, EVEN if what he tells the AMERICAN  PUBLIC  ARE ALL LIES.   But since he is a Liberal/Democrat/Progressive/Socialist, then why should any of us be surprised?

 

DIVERSITY:
 

Last week, there was an article in our very own (Sub) Standard .  The article was written by someone named Katie Smith and it had this headline: &;HISTORIC  FIGHT  TIED  TO  STATE'S  DIVERSITY&;.    Once again people who apparently cannot tell the difference  between a chocolate malt and a jar of warm monkey urine have decided to interject &;Diversity&; into the equation.   And as a part of this article there is this e allegedly made by Arnoldo De Leon who is a History Professor at Angelo State University: &;Men and women of all racial and ethnic backgrounds have fought for the Lone Star flag and everything  it stands for.&;  A sub headline is &;ETHNIC GROUPS KEY TO SUCCESS&;.

 

This idiotic article says that Texans should remember that the state in 1836 was a &;diverse society that engaged many races and cultures in the battle.&; Now up until this time they have not told of the battle of which they speak but one  might guess that he was speaking of the battle at the Alamo.  The article points out that there is a misconception that Texas' independence was won by any single ethnic group.

 

Funny, but I cannot remember any Texas History class I ever took which indicated that it was one single race or ethnic background which was responsible for Texas independence.  So I have never been under this misconception.  I k from an early age that many of the Alamo defenders were Hispanic as well as Caucasian as well as two blacks, one a male who was a slave owned by William Barrett Travis and another a black female slave owned by Jim Bowie.  Spare me the lecture about slavery and remember that this was 1836 and slavery did exist in the United States.

 

The History of Texas or for that matter the history of any state or country should report what happened and the society at that particular time whether it is politically correct;  right;  wrong;  confusing; or any other description.  History is about what happened and when it happened and the effect it had on the people/state/nation/country/continent etc.......

 

But once again we must have diversity crammed down our throats.

 

Actually what caused the people who were all Mexican Citizens decided that they wanted their independence from a Mexican government which was presided over by Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.  And as in the American Revolution not all citizens were in favor of the revolution against Mexican authority but the war for independence in the area known as Texas actually had damn little to do with diversity or ethnic background or anything else other than people's desire to be free. 

 

So at the risk of pissing off this article's writer and the history professor I must tell them both that neither of them could find their own backsides with a set of direction.  And let me put this little saying to rest:  &;Our Diversity Is Our Strength&;.   Whoever said that would also need a guide to locate their own rear end.  Actually when you really look closely at the diverse races, religions, cultures,  ethnic backgrounds and languages, it has been our ability to work around and disregard those differences which has made our country great.  The Liberals/Democrats/Progressives/Socialists DEPEND  UPON  THOSE  DIFFERENCES  AND THEIR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO USE THEM AS A TOOL TO DIVIDE  OUR  COUNTRY. 

 

Oh! And for the benefit of the author and the history professor, a chocolate malt is sweet and thick and cold.   I will wait for you to tell me if the monkey urine has a different quality.

MORE  STUFF:
 

I remember several months back hearing of General David Petraeus being questioned by a House Armed Services Committee when he was asked the question; &;General Petraeus, what are you doing to reduce carbon emissions in the war on terror?&;  I remember hearing the audio on this as well as reading several articles on this matter.  There were also other equally idiotic questions posed to the General.  I did not recall who asked this question but this past week received a number of e-mails revealing that this question was asked by none other than Arizona 8th District U.S. Congressional Representative GABRIELLE  GIFFORDS.

 

I know that Congresswoman Giffords was one of the people shot in the Tucson incident.  But when you really get to looking into this matter it seems as if the prosecution is more concerned with Congresswoman Giffords being shot than about the six people including a U.S. District Judge who were MURDERED.

 

I have received a number of e-mails from Arizona residents who like me were  plenty hot about the shooting but many of these people are not Gabrielle Giffords fans.

--------------------------------------------------------

Also this past week in the (Sub) Standard there was a very interesting article with a front page photo of Boris Karloff  as Dr. Frankenstein's Monster holding up a small blond haired boy in a scene from the  1939 movie &;Son Of Frankenstein&; which also featured Basil Rathbone and Bela Lugosi.  The article also told of this little boy as being the voice of &;Bambi&; in the 1942 Walt Disney classic.

 

This little boy's name is Donnie Dunagan.  Mr. Dunagan is a resident of San Angelo,  Texas and a native Texan.   The article told of his life as a 25 year U.S. Marine Corps veteran.  A career where he received several gunshot wounds while serving in Vietnam.  He retired as a Major.  The article told of the other movies in which he was involved.  And he spoke very highly of Walt Disney which made me feel pretty darn good.  It is a shame to see the depths to which not only the Walt Disney Studio has sunk.  Of course I guess they have to play the game, but I still believe that Walt Disney is spinning in his grave.

 

Anyway this was an interesting article and &;Son Of Frankenstein&; in my opinion was the absolute best of those old horror classics starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, and Lon Chaney Jr.    Also I have seen a number of movies this past month which had Basil Rathbone in the cast.  Basil Rathbone is one of my favorites.  HE  WAS  SHERLOCK  HOLMES.  I liked all of the Sherlock Holmes movies.  He as also a really excellent villain particularly in &;The Adventures of Robin Hood&;,  &;Fortunes of Captain Blood&; and &;The Mark of Zorro&;.  The Hollywood experts also say that Rathbone was the absolute BEST &;Swordsman&; of all the Hollywood stars.

----------------------------------------------------

I cannot begin to tell you how many e-mails I have received from retired policemen;  retired school teachers;   retired firemen;  and a number of other retirees who worked at union jobs.  Not some,  not most, but ALL of the emails I received had very negative views of the unions and pretty well parrot Dr. Thomas Sowell's statement that Unions are not for workers.  Unions are for Unions.........  Here is a small sample of some of the comments:

 

Teacher unions are an impediment in that they protect and reward the weak performers in administration and in the classroom

Tenure...eradicate ASAP

Evaluations...what a joke

 

One man wrote a letter to the editor of the (Sub) Standard

He was a 43 year veteran and belonged to the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen. 

He said that if they expected increases in their benefits they had to show that they k k the skills required for their job and learn the improvements.  He pointed out that the labor organizations now demanding job skill improvements.

He additionally pointed out that some children are receiving their diplomas even though they are illiterate.

 

Now that last statement might be hard for some to believe but for those of us fortunate enough to have lived in Hobbs, Mexico we observed at least one high school student who graduated from Hobbs High School and was given a football scholarship to a college which is now a member of the Big 12 Conference and play football 4 years for that college and then play a couple of years in the NFL.  He was one hell of an athlete but had some serious character issues as well as being functionally illiterate and could not carry on an intelligent conversation.  I k many teachers at every level in the Hobbs Public School System who k of grade changing and grade fixing and there is no need to think that this same situation does not still exist at many public schools.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I heard one of the s people on FOX s make the statement that &;You have to sort of feel sorry for Charlie Sheen&;.   Well let me set you minds at ease.  I do not feel sorry for Charlie Sheen.  They tell us that life is about choices.  I will be the first to admit that I have made some bad choices at various points in my life.  Fortunately most of my choices have been pretty good.  I had a man tell me one time, &;Jim, if you are right 51% of the time you are ahead of most of the world.&;   I hope my percentage was better than that.  But when you see people like Sheen and a bunch more of these whining, pampered Hollywood types act as if the rules are not made for them, then it shouldn't surprise anyone when they melt down at a fairly early age.

 

After watching small doses of interviews with Charlie Sheen, it seems to me as if he resembles Jack Nicholson's character in &;The Shining&;.

 

Of course Charlie Sheen being a pure turd shouldn't come as a surprise to any of us seeing who his father is.  Martin Sheen has been a varmint for years.

 

Anyway,  while Charlie Sheen is on the Varmint List and shall remain there, I am declaring this a &;Charlie Sheen Free Zone.&;

--------------------------------------------------------

I am still waiting for these ly elected Republicans to start aggressively showing some conservative values.

Keep on these elected officials AT  EVERY LEVEL.

And don't forget that if you own your own home YOU  ARE  PAYING  SCHOOL  TAXES.

If you rent, the owner of your home/apartment pays school taxes and charges you rent with those taxes built into your rent payment.  Therefore  YOU  ARE  PAYING  SCHOOL  TAXES.

 

Just because you do not have children in school does not mean you should not be interested in and active in your local school boards and in the content of the public school curriculum.

 

Keep on these elected officials  AT  EVERY  LEVEL.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, before I go let me once again remind you to KEEP  ON  THESE  ELECTED  OFFICIALS  AT  EVERY  LEVEL

WEDNESDAY -  March 2, 2011

 

Hello once again from the West Texas Association Of Jingoistic Gun Ownin' Four Wheel Drive Suburban Drivin' Conspiratorial Angry Mob Members.

 

SALARIES:
 

I received a list of salaries for some of the mistreated Wisconsin school teachers and public employees who have been in the headlines the past couple of weeks.  This first list is the annual average salary including benefits (for a 9 month contract for the teachers):

 

Teachers:

 

Elmbrook                          $91,065

Germantown                     $83,818

Hartland Arrowhead           $90,825 - Highest $122,952 - Lowest $64,942

Waukesha                        $92,902

Sussex                             $82,956

Mequon                            $95,297

Kettle Mor                         $87,656

Muskego                           $91,341

 

Staff:

 

Arrowhead - Bus. Mgr.                          $169,525

Arrowhead – Principal                            $152,519

Chancellor                                            $437,000

Prof. of Nutritional Science                     $254,877

 

Madison Sanitation Workers 2009 salaries:

One employee made made $125,598

7 employees  made $100,000

30 employees made over $70,000

 

Milwaukee City Bus Drivers:

 

136 drivers made over $70,000

54 drivers made more than $80,000

18 drivers made more than $90,000

8 drivers made more than $100,000

Top driver made $117,000

 

The source was WTMJ for this information according to the correspondence I received.

 

It is my understanding that at the present time the employees do not pay anything toward their retirement and the State government is requesting that the employees contribute 5.8% toward their generous retirement.

 

I retired from Mexico under the State Public Employees Retirement program.   At the time of my retirement I was contribution 16.3% of my gross salary toward our retirement system.  I am certainly not anti-public employee by any stretch of the imagination but having the taxpayers pay 100% of a public employee's retirement is a bit far-fetched.

 

I can only hope that the Wisconsin Governor stands by his guns and does not give in to the George Soros funded demonstrations.

 

MEMORIALS:
 

This week there have been several deaths of some people whom I consider worth mentioning.

 

The first is FRANK BUCKLES who was the last living World War I veteran left alive in America.   He was 110 years old.  As if that were  not noteworthy enough the story said that Mr. Buckles enlisted in WW I at the age of 16 which of course meant that he lied about his age.  He devoted  the last years of his life campaigning for greater recognition for his former comrades, prodding politicians to support a national memorial in Washington and also working on a biography.  To his biographer he was known as &;The Humble Patriot&;.  This also should bring to mind that we are losing our WW II Veterans at the rate of about 1,000 per day.  I know that in the past 5 years I have lost 3 friends who were WW II Veterans who lived here in San Angelo, Texas.

 

We all heard that Jane Russell also passed away this week.  I can remember watching Ms. Russell in many movies when I was growing up.  I  also remember that she was pretty outspoken about removing any mention of God in our public schools.  She of course opposed such a move and in later years was an outspoken conservative.  When we look back we can see many Hollywood stars who were not ashamed to be patriotic toward their country.  Unfortunately we are losing those Hollywood types at an alarming rate.

 

This week another notable death was that of Hall of Fame Centerfielder, Duke Snider.  He played in what I believe was really the &;Golden Age&; of Baseball.  I once heard him joke about being the &;Third Best&; Centerfielder in York.  Of course the two ahead of him were Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle.  Damn, baseball in the City of York must have been really something during those years.  Duke Snider, like Jane Russell and Frank Buckles was a class act.

 

HISTORY:
 

When I was a kid growing up in Houston, Texas, I can recall taking classes in Texas History from about the third or fourth grade on up through my Junior High years.  Of course I always liked history and particularly Texas History.  Of course back then I believe the teachers and the system were more interested in teaching us what had happened in the past rather than the self esteem of  some students.   Texas  History was plenty interesting then and still is to me.

 

Of course this past week from February 23rd until next Sunday which will be March 6th was a time in the history of Texas which every school kid k were the dates which commemorated the siege at The Alamo in 1836.  There were some real heroes killed at this well known battle in which Mexican forces under the command of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.  And contrary to many stories there were a number of survivors of the Alamo battle which included a number of adult females and one black slave who had belonged to Jim Bowie.  These survivors retold the story of the battle at the Alamo and one would almost have to believe their version of what had occurred over the suppositions of some so called historians which were based upon some letters found about 150 years later which were THOUGHT to have been written by a Mexican soldier in 1836.

 

Of course this was not the first time when someone attempted to re-write history in order to spare the self-esteem of some.   In 1907 Enrique Esparza who was one of the survivors as a child made this statement:  &;You ask me if I remember it.  I tell you yes.  It is burned into my brain and indelibly seared there.  Neither age nor infirmity could make me forget.&;

 

 After the Alamo, here is a e from Juan N. Seguin:

 

&;Yes, fellow soldiers and fellow citizens, we are witness to the meritorious acts of those who, when faced with a reversal in fortune, during the late contest, chose to offer their lives to the ferocity of the enemy.  A barbarous enemy who on foot herded them like animals to this spot and then proceeded to reduce them to ashes.  I invite all of you to join me in holding the venerable remains of our worthy companions before the eyes of the entire world to show it that Texas shall be free, and independent.   Or to a man , we will die gloriously in combat.&;

 

Of course many of the men who died at the Alamo were famous before that epic battle.

 

In 1846 after Texas had become a State in the United States of America there was another war with Mexico.  During this war another famous Texan was killed in battle.  There was a story about this man and the pistol he designed which bore his name, &;The Walker Colt&;.     This past week on the History Channel there was a program on MAGNUM  FIREARMS.   Part of the story of the Walker Colt and its designer Samuel Walker was told on this program.  According to the History Channel and firearms experts the Walker Colt, which was a black powder cap and ball handgun, was the MOST POWERFUL HANDGUN ever until the mid-1980's.  This program stated that the Walker had more muzzle velocity and generated more foot pounds of energy than the Model 29 Smith & Wesson .44 Magnum used by Dirty Harry.  I believe it was the 454 Casull which finally surpassed the Walker Colt.

 

There was one story of Texas Rangers Samuel Walker and  John Coffee (Jack) Hays were both armed with two Walker Colt pistols.  They were attacked by an overwhelming number of Comanche warriors.  Evidently both of these old time Rangers armed as they were, each with a pair of Walker Colts, defeated a much larger force of attacking Comanche Indians.  And keep in mind the Comanches were noted for being fierce fighters.

 

In this second Mexican War one unit was made up of a company of Texas Rangers who indeed did &;Remember the Alamo&;.   They were in a small Mexican town in a fierce gun battle with Mexican troops.  According to the History Channel and stories which I had read in the past, Samuel Walker was shot by a Mexican sniper and died shortly thereafter from the wound.  According to the History Channel before he died he gave his pair of Walker Colts to another Ranger and told him to put them to good use.

 

This program said that the Texas Rangers went absolutely berserk over the death of Samuel Walker and pretty well stopped taking prisoners and of course history tells us that they became known to the Mexican citizens as Los Diablos Tejanos  (Texan  Devils).  I read several accounts where the American commanders made requests to General Winfield Scott to recall the Ranger Company as they were uncontrollable.

 

There have been many books written about the history of Texas and the history of the Texas Rangers.  They are too many to mention but I have read these accounts almost my entire life and find them very interesting.

 

It saddens me to think that our American and Texas heroes gave it their all and would be ashamed of how the government of our great country has turned its back on its people.

MORE STUFF:
 

I imagine that most of you, like me are getting plenty sick of watching interviews with Charlie Sheen.  Charlie Sheen is, in my opinion, a complete buffoon BUT he more than likely came by it righteously as his father is also a liberal/progressive buffoon.  I heard part of one interview where some dippy squack asked Charlie Sheen if he was Bi-Polar.  Sheen acted as if he had no idea what she meant and perhaps he didn't as he appears to have the intellectual depth of a can of Alpo.   Actually I would classify Sheen more as Octo-Polar,  Bi-Polar just doesn't seem to cover the degree of goofiness of this idiot.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I am still waiting for the Republican Party to come up with a candidate capable of defeating  the current idiot occupying the White House.  I have watched this so called President show his true liberal/progressive/socialist colors on his statements regarding the fiasco in Wisconsin.  Not only is he completely biased in favor of the union employees but apparently does not seem able to grasp the fact that the State of Wisconsin does not have the funds with which to finance the demands of these unionized public employees.

 

I can't begin to tell you how many personal e-mails I have received from retirees from the public sector at all levels:  Federal; State; County; City and Public Education.   Damn near every one of them tell me that the demands of the Wisconsin employees coupled with their lack of contribution to their OWN RETIREMENT FUND, are completely out of whack.

 

I watched one guy with a Cheese Head hat speak to a reporter the other day.  I thought that if this guy was any indicator of the intelligence of the average Wisconsin school teacher, the education system in that state was in deep trouble.  As a matter of fact if I were suddenly overcome with an uncontrollable urge to just choke the crap out of someone I would choose  either that guy or Charlie Sheen.   It would be a toss up.  After listening to this slug spout off his unintelligible demands the thought struck me that if you asked this mutt to name a classic film he would either pick:

&;Dude Where's My Car&; or &;Romey and Michelle's High School Reunion&;.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a e:

 

&;As this government stands, I despise and abhor it..... I speak as one poor individual----but when I speak, I speak the language of thousands.  If I am asked what is to be done when a people feel themselves intolerably oppressed, my answer is OVERTURN  THE  GOVERNMENT!&;

 

This statement was made by PATRICK  HENRY,  BUT, it was not aimed at Britain;  it was aimed at the United States, as the thirteen former British colonies considered whether to adopt a constitution.  As he had done a decade earlier in his famed cry for '&;Liberty or Death&;, Henry once again roared for the rights of free men to govern themselves with as few restrictions from government as possible.  His roar would reverberate through the ages of American history to this very day.

 

This e and statement were taken from the book,  &;LION  OF  LIBERTY&; which is the story of Patrick Henry who was a real States Rights advocate.  In 1787 he refused to attend the Constitutional Convention and prophesied tyranny under national government.  In 1788 he led a fight against ratification and demanded a BILL  OF  RIGHTS and LIMITS  ON FEDERAL  POWER.

 

One wonders what Patrick Henry would have to say about our present administration's abuse of federal power.  I would sincerely like to know just exactly what all of those founders would say about our present condition in this country.

 

&;Lion of Liberty&; ..... Harlow Giles Unger

--------------------------------------------------------------------

&;The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days.  If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor and that of his country....VICTORY OR DEATH.&;   These were the last lines written to The People Of Texas and All Americans In The World on February 24, 1836 by Lieutenant Colonel William Barret Travis at The Alamo

-----------------------------------------------------------

I will leave you this week with this observation:

 

If it should move and doesn't, use WD-40.

 

If it should not move and does, use Duct Tape

 

With these thoughts in mind, I might suggest a couple of buckets of WD-40 be applied to the Republican National Committee so that they might possibly get their asses in gear and get us a GOOD  CANDIDATE who can DEFEAT Barack Obama in 2012.

 

I then must also suggest that we use some Duct Tape on RINOs and some of the so called conservatives who are now playing cute games and forming Exploratory Committees to test the political waters before they announce.  t Gingrich is supposedly waiting to see how well his latest book does before he makes the plunge.  Quick!  Someone duct tape his butt down so that he doesn't get things more screwed up than they are at the present time.

 

And let us all pray that the Wisconsin Governor stands firm.  If he gives in the liberals/progressives/socialists will take this as a sign of weakness and the sharks will go into a feeding frenzy.

February 23rd, 2011  PIRATES /  CIVILITY / WISCONSIN
Seperator
Hello once again from the Non-Union West Texas Constitution Supporting Jingoistic Four Wheel Pickup Driving  Non Green Energy Believing Right Wing Conspiratorial Intolerant Mob Members.

 

WISCONSIN:

 

I watched several days of Wisconsin Union School Teachers and Union Public Workers show their backsides in the various demonstrations at Madison, Wisconsin.  Many of my closest friends are retired school teachers and retired public sector workers.  But when I see the Rent-A-Mob demonstration which is purely politically driven and the people who are carrying the signs and screaming the loudest are actually demonstrating when they should be either at work at their jobs or in their classroom teaching I find it rather difficult to understand their situation.

 

Now as I understand it, Wisconsin School Teachers are NOT  ALLOWED  TO  GO  ON  STRIKE.  So what do they do instead?  They call in sick and then go to the State Capitol Building and demonstrate and carry signs in front of EVERY  S  MEDIA  OUTLET  IN  THE  COUNTRY.   Then  they go to a physician and obtain a phony sick note for the day they took off from their jobs  seeming to never realize that hundreds of millions  of  people have watched them show their collective backsides on NATIONAL  TELEVISION.

 

Now as if lying their asses off about missing work were not enough they compound the situation, in my eyes, by telling the national television audience that this is NOT  ABOUT  MONEY;  NOT  ABOUT  THEMSELVES;  BUT  RATHER  ABOUT  THE  STUDENTS.

 

Please pardon me if I choose not to buy that story because we all know that it IS  ABOUT  MONEY.  Now don't get me wrong, if I thought these people were underpaid and being mistreated I would support some of what they say,  BUT  it does not give them the right to violate the law, which not only they but the physicians who knowingly wrote them the phony sick notes obviously did.   They committed FRAUD at the very least.

 

I do not know the political views of the Republican Governor of Wisconsin but when the state has NO MONEY then some steps must be taken to keep from financially going in the hole even further.  I can't even begin to tell you all how many I have watched salary freezes take place when the price of oil went down from $40 a barrel to $8 a barrel.   Those salary increases not only meant that pay raises for those years was frozen but even a person who had performed at an outstanding level and normally would have received a merit pay increase within his/her pay scale, received NOTHING.

 

Did we like it?  Hell no!  But did we call in sick and get fraudulent notes from our physicians?   Not likely.

 

Again, I do not live in Wisconsin BUT IF  I  DID,  AND  IF  MY  ELECTED  STATE OFFICIALS  RAN OUT  OF  THE  STATE  RATHER  THAN  FACE  THE ISSUE, THEN I COULD NOT REST  UNTIL  THOSE  COWARDLY  MUTTS   WHO  HAD  RUN  OUT  ON  THEIR  RESPONSIBILITY  WERE  REPLACED.  Also I would work to see that their pay for those days on which they  were  absent  for no other reason than a lack of backbone was withheld  along with the pay of the lying  teachers and public sector workers.

 

Ah, but never fear,  because  in addition to the Rent-A-Mob people who came to Wisconsin in order to demonstrate along side of the Wisconsin liars, they were joined by none other than the so called reverend JESSE  JACKSON.  Now at this time I would like a show of hands of all who believe that JESSE  JACKSON  really gives a crap about Wisconsin Teachers or Public Sector Workers.

 

I am not sure what the telephone number for Rent-A-Mob is but I would strongly imagine that you could call either the SEIU or the NEA and get some results.  But what number should call to  get a Race-Baiting Varmint?   Might I suggest looking in the telephone directory  under:  Rent-A-Turd;  or perhaps Rent-A-Varmint;   or  perhaps  Rent-A-Lying-Bigot;   and I am pretty sure they would all list the home phone number of JESSE  JACKSON.

 

Hey!  I just had a thought!  It seems as if the Governor of Wisconsin has perhaps hit on something that will solve all of our problems.  As I understand it, the Democrat State Legislators from Indiana are also on the run to keep from doing their jobs.  AND  they have also chosen Illinois as their State of Refuge.    SO  if  all of the states with Republican Governors will just follow the lead of the Wisconsin Governor then maybe ALL  STATE  DEMOCRAT  LEGISLATORS will flee their respective states and meet in Illinois where they can all gather in one location and join hands and sing &;We Are The World&; or perhaps follow the example of the Reverend James Jones or perhaps just stay in Illinois FOREVER.

 

In any event those employees who have chosen to lie their asses off and then appear on national television should face legal action by the taxpayers of that state.

 

PIRATES:

 

I read earlier in the week where four American Citizens had been captured and were being held prisoner by Somali Pirates.   Then yesterday I heard and read where those American Hostages had been killed by these Somali Pirates.

 

I also read where two of the Americans killed had been sailing around the world since 2004 handing out bibles.   I am really sorry that Americans lost their lives to these vermin.  I must also question their choosing to sail in an are which is known to harbor these pirates.

 

Now that this tragedy has already happened I believe that our country along with Great Britain and any other country who has naval vessels and is tired of being victimized by these so called Pirates, should perhaps saturate the area and give the Somali Pirates a &;Little Taste of British/American/Australian/South Korean Steel&; as would be the term used in the old pirate movies.

 

The United States and South Korea have shown that these people can be dealt with.   And when I say dealt with, I do not mean &;Bring Them To Justice&; which is the lame term which I first heard used by President George W. Bush and is presently being copied by the world's most articulate and intelligent human.   When I say dealt with I mean ELIMINATED  WITH  EXTREME PREJUDICE. (For those of you presently residing in the BROKE People's Republic of San Francisco, that means;  Cancel Their Ticket;  Foreclose On Their Mortgage; Make Birth Control Retroactive;  Kill Their Sorry Asses).

 

Years ago when our Great Grand Daughter  was about 4 years old she came to Hobbs with us and we kept her for a couple of weeks.   She was plenty funny and noticed everything.  She could spot a bug from a great distance.  She and I walked out the front door one afternoon and she immediately spotted  a lone ant walking across the sidewalk.  She immediately screamed &;ANT&; and ran over and stomped him/her into an unrecognizable spot on the sidewalk.  So I walked her around the side of the house where there was a huge ant bed and I asked her what we should do about all these ants.  She gave me an honest answer;  &;Grandpa, let's kill 'em all&;.   Not a bad prescription for handling the Pirate crisis.

 

CIVILITY:

 

Let me e a few lines from an article I read a couple of days ago in the  (Sub) Standard :

 

&;Two former presidents---one Republican, the other a Democrat---will  lead a national institute to promote civility in political discourse in the city where U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was severely wounded in a shooting rampage that left six dead.&;

 

For those of you laboring in the Freedom Loving Worker's Province of Austin, that city would be Tucson Arizona.   And please notice that the SIX  MURDER  VICTIMS were mentioned, not by name but by lumping them all together in a neat little box.  The article went on:

 

&;The National Institute for Civil Discourse will be at the University of Arizona.  Former presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton will serve as co-chairmen.......Our country needs a setting for political debate that is both frank and civil, and the National Institute for Civil Discourse can make a significant contribution toward reaching this goal, Bush said.&;

 

Now I know why Bill Clinton is involved in this farce.  Anything which will get his name mentioned and get him media attention is always foremost in the goals of the world's biggest narcissist.  Well,  maybe not the biggest but he sure is amongst 'em.   But what saddens me is that former President George H.W. Bush has allowed himself once again to be teamed up with this turd just as he was in the tidal wave incident several years back.  I had a major problem with their efforts at that time just as I did with several other relief  efforts in which our government had a hand.  Notice that they always say that these victims need clothing, food, water and medical supplies BUT they do not want you to donate the items, they instead want MONEY which of course may be distributed in many different ways which includes payoffs to any number of varmints.

 

SO, I believe that I will stay away from EVER  CONTRIBUTING   ANYTHING  TO  ANY GROUP WHO SAY THEY ONLY WANT CASH.

 

And along these lines of a Civility Institute, if you speak harshly about someone are they going to sic the Civility Police on you?  Or is this another opportunity for our Federal Government to create a department?  Will it be the Department Of Civility which will have a Director;  Assistant Director;  Associate Director;  Administrative Assistant To The Director;  Human Resources Director For Civility;  and the list goes on.

 

Well if this is the case then let me be the first to tell you that this Civility Institute is a &;Load-O-Crap&;.   And along the lines of Un-Civil Speech which is not a federal violation as of this moment, let me borrow a description which I read in a &;Dilbert Cartoon&;.  I immediately thought of JESSE  JACKSON when I saw this line as it was applied to the &;Boss&;  by Dogbert: &; A Humorless Stain On The Soul Of Humanity&;.   Pretty well sums up my personal opinion of JESSE and several others on the Varmint List.

MORE  STUFF:

 

I read an article a few days back in the (Sub) Standard on the editorial page.  It was written by one of the regular editorial columnists with whom I seldom agree.    But his article this week did not deal with politics but rather with today being the 100th anniversary of the death of Quanah Parker.  For those of you not all that familiar  with American History and particularly the history of Texas and the Southwest, Quanah Parker was one of the last recognized Chiefs of the Comanche Tribe.  A couple of months back I read a book written by S. C. Gwynne --- The  Empire Of The Summer Moon and it is a pretty in depth biography of Quanah Parker and his family.  It also gives an excellent description of frontier life in Texas.  The book has several photographs of Quanah Parker and he is what every kid my age grew up thinking and Indian Chief should look like.  His likeness should be on some of our coins.  I recommend this book for anyone who likes American/Southwest History.

-----------------------------------------

I read a copy of an article in Roundtable regarding the proposed Health Care Legislation passed by our elected boobs and signed into law by Barack Obama and which has subsequently been declared &;UNCONSTITUTIONAL&; by a Federal Judge.  It is just another example of how elected officials have decided to relieve us of money which is rightfully ours and not theirs.   I am referring to a 3.8% tax on home sales  and other real estate transactions.  Only our federal lawmakers and incompetent president could relate your home sale to health care.  And I can remember when the insurance you had was called &;Hospitalization Insurance&;  or &;Medical Insurance&; then somewhere along the line they changed it to &;Healthcare&;.   I imagine it was along about the time that City and County Governments changed the title of &;Personnel Officer&;  to  &;Director of Human Resources&;.   I never cease to be amazed at the way governments and employers change the name of a position but the pay and the duties remain the same.

 

Keep in mind the term   &;Life Insurance&;.   If you purchase &;Life Insurance&; does this mean that you will live longer?  It would be better if it were called what it is, &;Death Beneficiary Payment Insurance&;, but then it might be a bit harder to sell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of name changes, do any of you remember when President George W. Bush was right in the middle of the NAFTA  Superhighway and the Trans Texas Corridor?   Well that died out pretty much when it all came to light and people began to raise hell about the idea.  Well, don't worry because they have an alternate plan.  However, this one is supposedly designed to come right through San Angelo, Texas.  This latest North American Union fiasco is known as the Ports-To-Plains Corridor and is designed to go from Mexico to Canada.  Just the same as the NAFTA Superhighway  of which the Trans Texas Corridor was a major part of.   I am sure that some will be happy with this idea but I am not.  One of the really nice things about living in San Angelo is that we are NOT located on an Interstate and while U.S. 87 and U.S. 67 do run through our city it is not the same is an Interstate or a Port-To-Plains Corridor.   When I see what an abject failure the European Union is I hesitate to think what a North American Union would look like under the  direction of Barack Hussein Obama and his band of merry men.

-------------------------------------------

Each month I receive a copy of Imprimis which is a publication of Hillsdale College.  As I understand, Hillsdale is a college which is located in Michigan and receives NO  FEDERAL  FUNDING and has conservative professors and has not fallen under the spell of flaming liberalism/socialism as have most other  American Colleges.  This month's publication had a copy of a speech given by Brian T. Kennedy who is president of Claremont Institute .  This speech  was sponsored by Hillsdale's Kirby Center for  Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C.

 

In one part of his speech Mr. Kennedy is addressing the subject of Muslims, both here and abroad, who actively seek the destruction of America.  Here is a portion of that speech:

 

&;Here at home, the threat is posed by the MUSLIM  BROTHERHOOD and its organizational arms, such as the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the various Muslim student associations.  These groups seek to persuade Americans that Islam is a  religion of peace.  But let me e to you from a document obtained during the 2007 Holy Land  Trial  investigating terrorist funding.  It is a Muslim Brotherhood Strategic Memorandum on North American Affairs that was approved by the Shura Council and the Organizational Conference in 1987.  It speaks of Enablement of Islam in North America, meaning; establishing an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood which adopts Muslims' causes domestically and globally, and which  works to expand the observant Muslim base, aims at unifying  and directing Muslims' efforts, presents Islam as a civilization alternative, and supports the global Islamic state wherever it is.  Elsewhere the document says:

 

The process of settlement as a 'Civilization-Jihadist Process'  with all the means.  The Ikwan [the Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Allah's religion is made victorious over all other religions.  Without this level of understanding we are not up to this challenge and have not prepared ourselves for Jihad yet.   It is a Muslim's destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.&;

 

Last week didn't we hear from  James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence that the Muslim Brotherhood was merely and Umbrella Group;   Largely Heterogeneous;  Secular?

 

Apparently a few tidbits of information have escaped the keen observation of Mr. Clapper and more than likely a few others in the Obama administration.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Get on those Representatives and Senators.  Let them know that we have had ENOUGH and are not willing to put up with business as usual.

February 16th, 2011  CONSERVATIVE CONCERNS / INCOMPETENCE
Seperator
Hello once again from the Central Time Zone Headquarters For SUV Drivin' Fossil Fuel Burnin' Jingoistic Gun Ownin' Conspiratorial Right Wing Angry Mob Members.

 

CONCERNS:
 

The past week I watched and heard a number of poll results as to who the leading prospects were likely to be as the Republican Party's choice for their 2012 Candidate for President of the United States.

 

To say that I was shocked is a mild understatement.  To say that I am deeply concerned is a mild understatement.  To say that I believe  if our choice as the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidate is made among &;The Usual Suspects&;, that Barack Hussein Obama will be elected for a second term is dead on.

 

In a couple of the polls I heard that Mike Huckabee was the choice of something like 36% of Republicans.   I heard that Mitt Romney was the choice of around 33% of the Republican voters.

 

Then the list went really down hill with Sarah Palin and t Gingrich and the Senator from Florida Marco Rubio and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.  Now I like much of the stuff said by Governor Barbour but I do not believe that he is what the conservatives in this country need as President.  Nor do I believe that any of these people can defeat Barack Hussein Obama in a general election.

 

When we look back at the 2008 Presidential race Republicans from all around our country sat idly by and basically allowed the Mainstream s Media push John McCain to the head of the Republican candidate list.  And even back then I was trying to tell people that McCain had several flaws in my view.   BUT,  the Progressives/Democrats/Socialists K that McCain would be the easiest candidate to defeat in the General Election and began to really pump him up.... UNTIL he was chosen as the Republican Candidate, then they dropped him like a hot rock.

 

Now if the Republican Party on a national level wants to put up another candidate with the same  &;Moderate&; outlook as John McCain then they can damn sure count me out insofar as financial support.  I am still waiting to see how the  Chairman of the RNC is going to perform before I make any commitment on the national level.  I will still more than likely support our local Republican Party and Candidates but I cannot in good conscience cast another vote for another John McCain.

 

And if you do not want Barack Hussein Obama in office for a second four year term then we had better be about choosing a candidate who is prepared to do what is right rather than what he is told to do to get elected.  I really feel like everyone who cast a vote for John McCain in the 2008 election was sold a bill of goods and  I know in my case McCain was simply the lesser of the two evils.

 

I am not sure at this moment just how someone like Jersey Governor Christie would fare in a national race.  Nor do I know how John Bolton would do nationally.  BUT either of them would be light years ahead of anyone on the list of &;The Usual Suspects&;.

 

When will the Republican Party wake up and realize that their game plan over the past 6 to 8 years has been pretty much a pathetic failure.   And, you notice,  I am including some George W. Bush years in that observation.  When will the Republican Party wake up and realize that the terms  &;Compromise&; and &;Bi-Partisanship&;  do not mean the same thing to Democrat/Progressive/Socialist  politicians as they do to Conservatives.


The brutal truth is that many of our so called Conservative Republican politicians are in fact NOT Conservative but are more &;Moderate&; in their approach.  Once again we are allowing the s Media to define the paths taken by elected officials.

 

If anyone feels comfortable with that, then so be it.  I just hope that  all this &;Moderation&;  and &;Compromise&; makes everyone feel comfortable with the thought of Barack Hussein Obama as President for an additional four years.

 

Oh, before I forget.... How weak did the United States look during all this Egyptian government takeover business?

 

INCOMPETENCE:
 

When you realize that the Director of Homeland Security is Janet Napolitano and that drunken monkeys could make better decisions the term  INCOMPETENCE might perhaps jump out at you.  Well just when you thought you had seen/heard it all up jumps James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence and makes Janet Napolitano look almost qualified.  You notice I said ALMOST.

 

I watched Clapper testifying before  the House Intelligence Committee describing the &;Muslim Brotherhood&; as:  Largely Heterogeneous;  Secular;  an Umbrella Group............. (Now for those of you living in The People's Republic of San Francisco, let me clarify the meaning of these terms):

 

Secular -  not religious; not connected to a church or religious group

Heterogeneous -  differing in structure;  dissimilar;  composed of unlike parts

Umbrella Group - any comprehensive, protective alliance

 

OK.  Now the Muslim Brotherhood  has described itself as:

 

An Islamist group, committed to implementing Sharia law, supporting Egyptian Islamic Jihad.  Keep in mind that they were instrumental in the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981 and later joined forces with  al Qaeda.  Another Brotherhood offshoot is Hamas.

 

So it looks like our Homeland Security AND our National Intelligence is in the hands of complete boobs. 

 

But then again should we blame the incompetent boobs OR should the blame be placed on the shoulders of the person responsible for their appointments?  And of course  that would be the President of the United States.  Let me see now.  I have to think on that for a moment or two......................  OK.  I've thought about it long enough.... The blame must be placed on Barack Hussein Obama.  One must wonder if he had two huge dart boards.  One containing the positions to be filled by appointments  and the other containing the names of the most inept mutts in the country.   Then blind marmosets threw darts and the selections were made in that manner.  It had to be either that or perhaps the world's most intelligent and articulate human has as little grasp of character and abilities as he does on foreign policy and universal health care.

In a recent article Thomas Sowell wrote of the differences  between former Heavyweight Champion Rocky Marciano and the Republican Party.  The following are a few of his comments which are dead on: 

 

&;One of the reasons Marciano took so much punishment in the ring was that he had shorter arms than most other heavyweights.  It was easier for others to hit him than for him to hit the.....  In a sense, Republicans today are in a similar position in the political arena.  With most of the media heavily tilted toward the Democrats, Republicans are going to get hit far more often than they are going to get in their own punches...... The  difference is that Rocky Marciano understood from the beginning that he was going to get hit more often, and prepared himself for that kind of fight.  His strategy was to concentrate on developing punches powerful enough to nullify his opponents' greater number of punches.....Republicans take the opposite approach from that of Rocky Marciano -- and often with opposite results.  That may be why they managed to lose both houses of Congress and the White House in recent years, in a country where there are millions more people who call themselves than there are who call themselves liberals&;..................................  THOMAS  SOWELL*

 

* I know that was a bit long but it really hit home with me.  The Republican Party should know that they are going to take more hits BUT if when they hit back it is like a Marciano right cross which was devastating.  Also keep in mind that Rocky Marciano is the ONLY Heavyweight Champion to go UNDEFEATED in his career.

 

&;What are called 'tax cuts for the rich' have been reductions in high tax rates under four different administrations, including the Democrat administration of John Fl Kennedy.  In each case, going all the way back to the 1920s, the reduced tax rates have led to increased tax revenues for the government.&;..........THOMAS  SOWELL

 

&;A gentleman told me recently he doubted if I would vote for the Angel Gabriel if found at the head of the Democratic Party, to which I responded that the Angel Gabriel would never be found in such company.&;........  THEODORE  ROOSEVELT

    

&;Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of the chains of slavery?  Forbid it, Almighty God.  I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.&;..... PATRICK  HENRY

MORE  STUFF:
 

I saw several reports this past week and received a number of e-mails regarding select Public (Government) Schools in the Mansfield, Texas Independent School District offering ARABIC Classes as a REQUIRED  LANGUAGE.  This is in response to a federal grant received by the school district.  A so called Moderate Website toned it down somewhat reporting that it will not be MANDATORY as first reported but  would be offered as an elective course to higher grades and available in lower grades within the framework of state-mandated curriculum.  Keep in mind this latter information was from a so called Moderate Website. The Moderate Voice.

 

Most of the other Websites indicate that this subject at least was initially listed as Mandatory but is now evidently on hold due to complaints by local parents.  But if this is the kind of crap we can expect when a school district receives money from the Department of Education then I say it is time to do away with this useless department and put the money to better use............ like say hire some more Border Patrol Agents.  Oh, but that might make it look like we actually were interested in protecting our borders.

------------------------------------------------------

Last week I received  probably over a hundred e-mails regarding HB 1388 which according to the e-mails was secretly passed last week without any public knowledge and that this bill provided funding for re-locating HAMAS  refugees into our country.

 

After checking on this I learned that HR 1388 was passed in 2009 and although I did not read the entire bill I did read the summary and saw that this legislation dealt primarily with funding and education spending....... which might be almost as dangerous as HAMAS refugees.

 

Hey!  I just had a thought.  How about we move the terrorist prisoners to the United States and hold them in Washington, D.C. and move the Department of Education to Guantanamo?   And they could take the Department of Energy with them.

------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of days back I walked through the room where my wife was watching Shepard Smith on FOX s and &;Shep&; was talking about how the Egyptian Revolution wouldn't have been possible, and that a debt of gratitude was owed by the Egyptian People to.... now get ready for this....... al Arabiya;   al Jazeera;  CNN,  FOX s and other s outlets.  Actually all I saw out of any of these s outlets was speculation and wild ass guessing and quite a bit of whining.  I know that one of the FOX s female reporters was allegedly sexually molested by some &;Protestors&; and I do not believe that should be taken lightly, but much of the rhetoric coming out of Egypt was pretty much like &;Shep&; does every day in my opinion.... and that is to piss down our backs and try to make us believe it is rain.  Small wonder &;Shep&; is on my Varmint List.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

This morning I bounced out my front door to pick up my morning edition of the (Sub) Standard and found NOTHING.  For some unknown reason we did not receive our Wednesday morning dose of Progressive/Liberal  crap.  But in all fairness to the  (Sub) Standard , earlier in the week they did do a story on the death of former high school and college coach, Emory  Bellard.

 

Coach Bellard passed away in a nursing facility near Austin, Texas.   Many of you outside the State of Texas might not recognize the name right off the bat but I will bet that all of you who are fans of college football will remember some of the things which Coach Bellard contributed to the game.  Coach Emory Bellard won State Championships in football at Breckenridge, Texas and San Angelo, Texas.  He went on to become an assistant coach at The University of Texas under head coach Darryl Royal where he became the offensive coordinator in 1968.  This was the first year anyone saw the Wishbone Formation.  I can remember in 1968 which was the first year of the Wishbone.  Texas tied their first game and lost their second.   Their third game was against Oklahoma State and Texas was behind at halftime.  In the third quarter, quarterback Bill Bradley was replaced by quarterback James Street and that was all it took.  Street, in my opinion, was the best Wishbone quarterback EVER.  Texas went on to win the Southwest Conference and trounce Tennessee in the Cotton Bowl.  In 1969 Texas went undefeated and were crowned National Champions.  James Street NEVER  LOST a game that he started for Texas.  Texas was also awarded the 1970 National Championship  although they lost to Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl.  Emory Bellard was the man who made the Wishbone work.  Of course he had a few horses to help him.

 

Coach Bellard then went on to Texas A & M where he was their head coach for 7 years.  He then went to Mississippi State as their head coach and in his second year there upset Bear Bryant's #1 ranked Alabama team.  After his retirement he returned to the high school ranks in the Houston area at Spring Westfield High School.  In all he coached 21 years in Texas High Schools with 177 wins -59 losses- and 9 ties with 3 State Championships.  Everyone I know here in San Angelo who k Coach Bellard had nothing but praise for him.  In the late 1960s I was in Houston and went to an event where Coach Darryl Royal was the speaker.   Many of the questions were regarding the still Wishbone Offense and Coach Royal gave complete credit for the success of that offense to Coach Emory Bellard.


Coach Bellard was 83 when he left us.   Pure Class.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While reading Thomas Sowell's column, &;Rocky and Republicans&; I recalled the first time I saw Rocky Marciano fight on television and it was the night that he completely destroyed Joe Louis.  I immediately disliked him until Joe was counted out and Marciano went over to help him up.  Then I immediately got pissed at the manager  of Joe Louis for putting him in the ring with a young, hungry, double tough opponent like Marciano.  My Dad and I watched the fight when Rocky won the Heavyweight Championship.  Jersey Joe Walcott was champ by then and Joe Walcott was not only a superior boxer but could hit as well.

 

Walcott beat Rocky to a pulp for about 12.3 rounds and then Marciano threw the best and hardest punch I had seen or maybe have ever seen.  He threw a short right cross and Walcott was unconscious IMMEDIATELY.  On his way down Rocky hit him with a left hook which he never felt.  I have seen that fight probably 100 or more since then on film and am always amazed at the toughness and ability to take punishment and conversely to give it back, of Rocky Marciano.

 

I also watched Rocky Marciano's final fight with Archie Moore.  Of course at the time Archie Moore was the Light Heavyweight Champion but could fight at about 195 and then trim down to 175 to defend his Light Heavyweight Championship.   It was a really good fight with Moore landing some really good shots and knocking Marciano down..... but not out.  Then Marciano as described by Dr. Sowell finally caught up with Moore and knocked him out.  Rocky retired after that with 49 fights 49 wins and I believe 44 knockouts.   After the fight a reporter asked Archie Moore which of Marciano's punches hurt the worst, to which Moore replied, &;All of 'em&;.  Rocky Marciano was another class act.

 

Of course this was back in the days when you only had ONE  World Champion in each weight class and it was probably the golden age of boxing as Sugar Ray Robinson was still a champ.  As was Kid Gavilan.  Willie Pep.  And if you ask anyone who followed boxing back in the 1950s and 1960s to name you the greatest fight they ever saw.... and if they saw it and will tell you the truth it was:  Archie Moore vs Yvonne Durelle who was the Canadian Light Heavyweight Champion.  In the early rounds Durelle had Moore on the canvas 5 or 6 and Moore ended knocking Durelle out in the later rounds after knocking him down 4 or 5 .  Not a dull moment.   Also, and this was later on, I NEVER saw Joe Frazier in a DULL FIGHT.  He was always coming on.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Get on your local Republican organizations and convince them that we need a real candidate in 2012 not some politically correct appeaser.  We have all seen enough of that.

SUPER BOWL:
 

Half Time Show

 

Please join me in writing letters to the NFL and letting them know just how we feel about their all-time low in Super Bowl programming.   Now in all honesty I didn't have a dog in the fight insofar as the two teams playing for the NFL Championship.   Actually I could have lived a pretty normal life regardless of which of the two teams won.  BUT as most of you have already guessed my take on the National Anthem as screeched out by Christina Aguilera was a bit negative.  As was my opinion of the Half-Time show as performed by The Black Eyed Peas.  Just so their can be no doubt in the minds of anyone including the residents of The People's Republic of San Francisco, my opinion of the Black Eyed Peas' so called show at half-time ranked somewhere between watching Dung Beetles on the Animal Planet and watching Cockroaches breed.  Now in all fairness to &;The Peas&;, I had to form this opinion by only catching roughly 10 second segments as watching &;The Black Eyed Peas&; for any greater length of time in any one sitting could give me a case of, as Jonathan Winters called it, The Green-Apple-Quick-Step.   If anyone in the Freedom Loving Worker's Province of Massachusetts needs an explanation then I would suggest contacting Barney Frank.

 

National Anthem

 

Once again, I am sure you all know my feelings already on ANYONE attempting to turn our National Anthem into some type of Rock/Hip-Hop/Country and Western tune where the focus is on the voice range of the person singing/screeching/bellowing/whining or any other verb you might choose to use.  I also am not sure who is to blame for choosing Christina Aguilera to perform our National Anthem but whom ever is to blame, whether it is the NFL or FOX Television Network or a combination of these two or someone else entirely different from these two entities should be punished using the fair standards of Sharia Law.  Maybe I am being a bit harsh in my judgment but is it asking too much for the performer to actually KNOW  THE  WORDS?  I can remember learning the words to the Star Spangled Banner PRIOR to entering the first grade which would have made me 5 years old.  I still know them just is I learned the Pledge of Allegiance prior to attending school and I still remember those words.  So, either Ms. Aguilera has forgotten the words OR she never k them to begin with OR she possesses the intelligence of a Porta-Potty.

 

Commercials

 

Without a doubt this was the worst set of commercials I have ever seen during a Super Bowl.  Of course there might have been a couple I missed but out of the hoards of commercials I saw during the Super Bowl I actually thought a couple of the Volkswagen commercials were reasonably well done but most of the others were really stupid and certainly did not approach some of the great commercials in the past;  particularly some of the Budweiser commercials featuring the Clydesdales and of course the Coke commercial featuring Mean Joe Green and my personal favorite of all was the Cat Roundup.  But this year's commercials were really lame as a whole

 

And of course I have somewhat of a problem with Chrysler who spent something like $9,000,000 on a commercial and besides being a pretty stupid commercial, I believe that Chrysler is operating on taxpayer bailout dollars.

 

Anyway, as for me I think the NFL leadership has been attacked and bitten by rabid marmosets and have additionally be stricken with an attack of lunacy insofar as their approval of the pre-game;  half-time; and post-game shows and we might as well throw in the sideline squacks who detain the coaches leaving the field at half-time and returning to the field following half-time and posing really stupid questions to these coaches who have a bit more on their minds than pacifying some female personalities who more than likely don't know a screen pass from a screen porch.

 

So with that being said and with the probability of an NFL Lockout next season I believe I will bid the NFL a fond ADIOS until they get their minds right.  There is plenty of high school and college football to keep me satisfied.

 

BORDER:
 

This past week I have heard several sound bites of Janet Napolitano telling us all just how safe the US/Mexican Border is along with what a great job she is doing.  I have also heard from law enforcements along this same border telling us that things are completely out of control.  Now just as soon as one of the Border area Sheriffs or Police Chiefs give their thoughts on the matter we heard Janet Napolitano tell us that she has Walked;  Flown; and Rode Horseback all along the Mexican Border and has not observed any problem  areas.

 

OK let's take her first mode of transportation.. she walked.... I will venture to say that she either didn't walk in the troubled areas OR  SHE  IS LYING.  Anyway, I didn't think Jabba The Hut walked.... I always thought Jabba more or less slithered.

 

Second mode... flown.   Must have been in a C-130 transport or maybe she hitched a ride behind the Wicked Witch of the West on a broom.

 

Third mode....Rode horseback.... Had to have been a team of the Budweiser Clydesdales..... Perhaps that is why they were absent in Super Bowl commercials.

 

Anyway,  Janet Napolitano is no more believable than any other member of this current administration including Barack Hussein Obama.

 

Now just so everyone will not think that I am only on the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists, I also heard some clips from an appearance at some function by former President, George W. Bush.  Now I have always thought that President Bush was much more honest than the media gave him credit for being, and I do believe that he had the guts to take action in some cases but I never did agree with his views on immigration.  I still do not agree with him.   I heard one clip of him talking about too many Americans were falling into a pattern of &;isms&;  which he elaborated to  mean &;Nativism&;;  Separatism; and some other type of &;ism&;.  Once again he sounded like he did back in about 2005 when he and John McCain and Fat Teddy and Lindsey Graham got their &;Comprehensive Immigration Reform&; stuffed up their backsides.

 

Ah, but things didn't stop with former President Bush,  Laura Bush and daughter Barbara Bush also had to slip in their views toward &;Freedom of Choice&; and Gay Marriage.

 

Since I have often said that former Presidents should be seen and not heard I must say that I mean ALL  FORMER  PRESIDENTS.

 

JOB:
 

Last week while drinking coffee with a friend at the local Target Store we had a conversation with a pretty remarkable young man.  He is an employee of Target and is always friendly and has a pleasant smile for everyone.  It was actually on our coldest morning and he had on a heavy coat and you could tell that he was very cold.  He got something warm to drink and sat at the next table from us.  During the conversation he made the comment that he had to walk a couple of blocks to work, which raised the question of ownership or access to a car. 

 

He then told us that he was actually classified as legally blind and could not get a license.  Then pursuant to our questions this young man told us a bit about himself.   He was actually from Missouri where he worked at one of the Target Stores.  He requested and received a transfer from that store to the one in San Angelo where he needed to move so that he could help out his 93 year old aunt.  The aunt actually lived in a small community about 40 miles North of San Angelo and since he could not drive, he spent $8 per day getting to and from work in a bus service for handicapped people.  He said that recently his Dad and other brothers and sisters had convinced the 93 year old aunt to give some thought to an assisted living facility.  She did and chose to move to a facility in Kansas.

 

The young man's Father and others were handling the sale of the aunt's property so the young man could move to town and be closer to public transportation.   He said that he had a problem from birth with being able to focus on any one thing for any length of time.  He had a device which assisted him in reading bar codes and another device which helped him in distance viewing.  He said that he really considered himself lucky since he was born with this condition and he felt that he was much better off than someone who was born with good vision and the lost it for various reasons.

 

He said that Target was working on getting him transferred to a Target Store in Kansas so that he could be closer to his family.  All in all I thought this was a really remarkable young man with a really positive attitude and outlook on life.    My views on the Target Stores also rose considerably when I checked and found that they did everything possible to help their employees re-locate when requested.

 

A few minutes later I checked out and this young man did the honors and from dealing with him at the cash register you would never know that he was disabled in any way.   So, every time I hear someone whining about their job or about their situation in life, I will think of this really nice young man and will once again appreciate his overall outlook and attitude.

Jersey Governor Christie is looking better and better to me.  I saw several reports where Governor Christie has vetoed legislation which would have funded Planned Parenthood.  He has also stood up to the teacher's unions as well as other unions in his state and that takes some guts.  And apparently he did it without feeling pain, BECAUSE  IT  WAS  THE  RIGHT  THING  TO  DO.

--------------------------------------------------

Great s, Beavis and Butthead are coming back to MTV.  Boy what a thrill.  This only shows the level of today's television programming.  Hey!  I wonder if they are going to get John McCain to do their voices?   If you listen really close you will hear the similarities.

-----------------------------------------------

And maybe I'm wrong but I think it is about time to hear a little less out of the mouth of Megan McCain.  She is starting to sound awfully &;Progressive&;.   But then, why should that surprise any of us?   Her father is Progressive to the core.  How in the hell did he ever get to be the Presidential candidate of the Republican Party?

---------------------------------------------

I was listening, momentarily, to Shepard Smith the other day and noticed that when he referred to the Pro-Mubarak people he referred to them as &;Thugs&; but when he spoke of the rock and Molotov Cocktail throwing Anti-Mubarak group he called them &;Protestors&;.   Fair and balanced alright.  Perhaps that is why Shep is on the Varmint's List.

-----------------------------------------------

I listened momentarily the other morning to ESPN Radio and heard one of their boob reporters say;  &;Everyone wants Tiger Woods to get back the form he had prior to his problems.  Golf just is not the same.&;    Well apparently this ESPN reporter has made a slight error since not &;Everyone&; is interested in Tiger getting his form back.  I'll bet the other guys on the tour are not the least bit interested in seeing him return to his previous level.  And this reporter obviously has me confused with someone who gives a crap about Tiger's form.  Once again, political correctness rears its ugly head.

----------------------------------------------------

Speaking of jobs,  I can remember a number of years back on a very hot summer day in Hobbs, Mexico where the temperature was in excess of 100 degrees Fahrenheit and another officer and I were driving down North Turner Street when we passed a business which had hired someone to dress up in a dog suit with a huge rubber and cloth head and flag down cars at the entrance to a business.  I told the other guy that every time we thought our job was demanding that we should think of that person in that dog suit standing out in the blazing sun and we would then realize that we had it pretty damn good.

-----------------------------------------------

Well, Varmint Keith Olbermann was not out of a job very long.  After being FIRED from MSNBC and their dozen or so viewers, he has now been employed by Current TV which is the TV Network owned by Al Gore.  Now there is a match made somewhere.  Who says GOD does not have a sense of humor?

----------------------------------------------------

Am I wrong or have the world's most articulate and intelligent human (Barack Hussein Obama) and his Secretary of State, Nurse Ratchet (Hillary Clinton) changed their demands on just how rapidly Egyptian President Mubarak MUST vacate his position?   Seems as if during the first hours both of these mutts were calling for Mubarak's IMMEDIATE resignation.   Seems as if they are both now waffling a bit on their demands.  But then again I guess that their demands are sort of like their statistical information in the fact that they are poorly thought out and accuracy is an unknown characteristic.

--------------------------------------

I heard one report yesterday and did not catch the name of the Senator/Congressman who was presenting a piece of legislation which would make it ILLEGAL for anyone to sell A  TOY  FIREARM to a child.  It would be OK to sell that toy to an adult who I guess in turn could give the toy to a child.  But this approaching total madness.  THESE  CLOWNS  MUST  BE  REPLACED.   Either that or should have the Vulcan Death Grip applied to them by Mr. Spock... or anyone else who is proficient at it.

------------------------------------------------------

One last item from Fort Worth, Texas.  Last week a special order was issued by Chief Jeff Halstead and anyone violating this order would likely be fired.  The Fort Worth Star Telegram reported that the order prohibits police employees from CONSIDERING &;race; color; gender; age; national origin; religion; disability; economic status; sexual orientation; gender expression;  gender identity; transgender status; membership in a cultural group or OTHER  INDIVIDUAL  CHARACTERISTICS or distinctions while performing police duty.

 

OK Chief now that we know what we CANNOT  consider, how about issuing another special order telling your officers what they CAN  CONSIDER.  Or another option is that your as could resign and go to work for the ACLU or some other idiotic organization.

 

Mr. Spock, go pay this boob a visit.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Join me in writing the NFL and pointing out their shortcomings insofar as their judge of talent.   Also join me in a total boycott of the National Football League next season.  This is about all I can bear for another week.

February 2nd, 2011 ECOLOGY / DIFFERENCES / MEXICO
Seperator Hello once more from the West Texas Headquarters For Gun Ownin', Jingoistic, Fossil Fuel Burnin', Carbon Footprint Leavin' Conspiratorial,  SUV Drivers Of America.

 

I might also have added damn cold to that description.  I know that many of you live in parts of the country where the winter temperatures regularly drop into the sub-zero range and I can appreciate that you will not find our SINGLE DIGIT  TEMPERATURES here in West Texas all that bad.  But let me tell you that 9 degrees with a 20 MPH North wind blowing is plenty cold.  Then to top it all off at about 7:40 A.M. this morning the electric power went out and did not return until around noon.  Now for those of you living in the People's Republic of San Francisco that would be about 4 hours and 20 minutes.  Now here is where the fun begins:

 

I contacted a neighbor who had been watching his television and heard the announcement that parts of San Angelo would be without electric power for approximately 20 minutes.   So I gathered up our Korean Student and left to take her to the University for her Class.  I then went to coffee and returned to my house at about 9 A.M. to check and see if the power had returned and found that it had not.  And this had been a little over an hour since the power had gone out.  So I decided to call the power company to report the outage and to see when we could expect it to be turned back on.  Here is where things turned pretty ugly.

 

I first dialed the local number for my electric provider and found that the number listed in the telephone directory was good for several other electric providers but not for mine.  So I went and dug out my electric bill from last month secure in the knowledge that there would be a number on the bill which I could use.  So I called the first number on the bill and of course got picked up by an automated voice which directed me to do several things which I did and after doing the last thing which was to enter my zip code I got another recording which told me that their records did not show any service to that location.

 

So I try the second number and got a bunch of automated answering devices and followed their instructions and finally ended up at the very first site and was requested to repeat every step which I had already done.  Along about this time my attitude was approaching that of a polar bear on Dexedrine so I hung up and called the third number which was located on the back page of my bill.  I of course was greeted by another automated voice and followed their instructions and got placed on hold.  Every 30 seconds or so I would get an automated response telling me how important my call was to them;     Then I would get another recorded message telling me that my safety was very important to them and that I should NEVER place anything metallic in any electrical outlet.  DAMN!  I was sure glad they told me that since occasionally I am overcome by an uncontrollable urge to stick an ice pick into a wall socket;     Ah, but then another recording telling me that again they were concerned about my safety and that I should ALWAYS use outdoor cords and wiring for outdoor electrical needs.  Wow!  What dynamite advice. 

 

Finally I got a real person and gave her my name;  address;  city;  state;  zip code;  telephone number and she told me she would check and came back in a few minutes and said that they had received something like 1148 calls reporting the outage from my city.  She then told me that the estimated time for power to be restored would be in about 20 minutes which would have been 10 A.M.   Then before signing off she asked me for a number at which she could contact me if they required any additional information.  I gave her my cell phone number and she replied that is in Abilene, Texas...right?  I said NO that I was some 80 or so mile SOUTH of Abilene and repeated my information.  She then repeated the telephone number back to me which I had given her barely 30 seconds prior AND SHE HAD THAT WRONG.

 

Along about then I could have bitten the bumper off a Mack Truck but I hung up and wondered if everyone who had an electrical outage had to go through the same bunch of stupid stuff with which I had just had to deal.   Anyway a little after noon the power came back on and all was well again.......  at least for now.

 

ECOLOGY:
 

I heard on the radio the other morning that some study group... not to be confused with an oversight committee...... or a blue ribbon panel, had reached the conclusion that Genghis Kahn was the most, now get ready for this, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CONQUEROR in history.  This bunch of idiots came to this conclusion by connecting the information that by killing some 40,000,000 people and wiping out whole civilizations, that much of the land which the Kahn had conquered was returned to forest and thereby making the land more environmentally friendly.

 

All I can say is I wish I had some red and white face paint;  some really oversized shoes with flat floppy soles;  and a really small car so that these clowns could dress the part and really feel like they were performing a great service.  Of course as we all know, little kids are scared to death of clowns and don't want any part of them and their horn honking loud act.

 

Back to the Great Kahn.   I saw a program on the History Channel a couple of which told of the Kahn wishing to create a trade route which would go from the East Coast of China to Europe.  In order to make this route safe he sent ambassadors to a number of the countries along the route requesting that they honor his master plan.  One of the countries was a Muslim country presided over by a Caliph.   This Caliph evidently was not overly endowed with brains and cut the hair off the Kahn's ambassadors and sent them back.   Surprisingly enough the Kahn thought that perhaps the Caliph had misunderstood his wishes so he sent three more ambassadors to make peaceful offers to the Caliph.  These ambassadors met with the same treatment and had their heads shaved and sent packing.

 

So the next thing this good Caliph heard from the Great Kahn was when the Kahn took somewhere around a half million troops and killed everyone and everything in that country.  The people who had shaved the heads of the Kahn's ambassadors were executed in a somewhat novel manner.  Their mouths, ears, noses, eyes and every orifice on their bodies were filled with molten gold and silver.  So I guess that lesson was that it was not a good idea to piss off the Great Kahn.   Wonder if that tactic would work in today's world.

 

DIFFERENCES:
 

Last Saturday in the local (Sub) Standard they had a couple of editorial articles, side-by-side from the heads of the Tom Green County Democrat and Republicans.   Now anytime someone tells you that we are all the same in our basic views and that we can and should really go all out to reach across the aisle and gather around the campfires and sing, &;Michael Row The Boat Ashore&;, is just fooling themselves.  Let me show you the differences in the directions of these two political parties.

 

First The Interests Of The Democrat Party: (according to their county chairperson)

 

The Arizona Shooting

Bi-Partisan and Civil Dialogue

Civil Rights Act

Endangered Species Act

Children's Health Insurance Program

Seating Plan for Lawmakers (Republican and Democrats sitting together)

Sarah Palin not to blame for Arizona Shootings BUT her use of the words &;Reload&; and &;Don't Retreat&; are very provocative.

Culture of Guns

 

The Republican Party Leadership: 

Voter Integrity Act which includes PHOTO I.D. and Reform of Mail-In-Ballots

Fair Re-Districting Plan

Anti-Illegal Immigration Legislation:  ELIMINATES  SANCTUARY CITIES  and ENSURES  THAT SOCIAL SPENDING DOLLARS GO ONLY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS.

Sonogram Bill to protect innocent life from being lost to rash or uninformed decisions.

A Responsible BALANCED BUDGET WITHOUT RAISING TAXES.

 

It appears to me as if there are some rather glaring differences in the two parties and of course I am not trying to say that  none of the Democrat politicians or supporter have some good ideas or input.  But when one of your main topics for discussion is the seating arrangements for Congress and words like Re-load and Don't Retreat send you off the edge of the cliff like so many lemmings,  all this togetherness seems a bit unproductive.

 

MEXICO:
 

The country of Mexico is in a shambles.  It is hard to tell the good guys (if there are any left in government) and the bad guys (the criminal drug cartels).  Apparently the life expectancy of government police officers and elected civil officials approaches that of a wounded impala in the midst of a pride of hungry lions on the Serengeti.  (For those of you residing in the Freedom Loving Worker's Province of Los Angeles that isn't very long).  I heard and read of one smaller city whose entire Police Department took off and that city now has ONE Police Officer which is the Chief of Police and she is a 20 year old Criminal Justice student.  Now if she lasts longer than a couple of days then there are a couple of possibilities:

 

1.  She is in bed with the drug cartels - figuratively or literally

2.  She is of absolutely no threat to the cartels.

 

I can't think of a third reason for the cartels allowing her to live.

 

Keep in mind that regular working citizens in Mexico had their right to own firearms taken away many years ago.  The only people who own firearms in Mexico are the drug cartels and the government.  And that is what the Obama Administration;   the Democrat Party;  Liberals;  Socialists;  Progressives and Muslim Terrorists want for us.

&;Despite the old saying, 'Don't cry over spilled milk&;, the Environmental Protection Agency is doing just that.......In a classic example of this process, the EPA has decided that, since milk contains oil, it has the authority to force farmers to comply with regulations to file 'emergency management' plans to show how they will cope with the spilled milk, how farmers will train 'first responders' and build 'containment facilities' if there is a flood of spilled milk.&;......  THOMAS SOWELL

MORE STUFF:
 

Here is a e I received from an article written and sent out by my friend Ben English.   You might notice that in our prayer list appears the names of two young men who are both students at the United States Naval Academy.  Those to exemplary young men are Ben's sons, Levi and Ethan.  Anyway Ben sent me an article a couple of weeks ago and at the end of this article was this e:

 

&;Schoolyard bullies do not pick on the kid with the brass knuckles.&;   I liked that e and when I ran into Ben a couple of weeks back at, dare I say it?

A Gun Show.  There now you know.  Please do not tell N.Y. City Mayor Michael Bloomberg............ On second thought go ahead and tell the turd.

At the Gun Show, Ben told me the story of how he had come by the e.  As I remember it, he got it from his Grandfather who was raised in the Southwest Texas community of Carrizo Springs, which is a small town located in a ranching community.  According to the story related by Ben's Grandfather who was attending school at Carrizo Springs as a young lad, a kid from an Eastern city showed up at the school.  He was dressed in a manner pretty different from the rural kids in West Texas.  So naturally the first opportunity arose outside the classroom some of the local boys were going to teach the kid a lesson.  But when they tried the kid reached in his hip pocket and withdrew a set of brass knuckles and proceeded to check the role. (For those of you residing in the Gulag of Austin that means he commenced to kick-ass and take-names).  From that day on, the kid was left alone and Ben's Grandfather told Ben that &;Schoolyard bullies don't pick on the kid with brass knuckles.&;   At least they don't do it a second time for sure.

 

Now I understand that type of logic perfectly well.  There are lots of countries and governments understand it.  I can guarantee that the State of Israel understands it and evidently has the brass knuckles to prove it.


But what happens when the entire Middle-East is under the control of Radical Muslims who do not believe that not only Israel but no other nation who does not bow under to Sharia Law has the right to exist?  I am certainly no expert in Middle-East affairs and I am not entirely sure what or who set off the troubles in Egypt.  But I am positive that any leader who has been in power for 30 years as the head of a nation has made some enemies and may be falling under the old saying that  &;Power Corrupts and Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely&;.   But I have to think back to the &;Carter Years&; when Jimmy Carter tossed the Shah of Iran over in place of the Iran government.  Wasn't that a brilliant political move insofar a foreign policy.  And while the Shah may have been a Mutt, he was our Mutt.   The same might be true with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.  I have absolutely no faith in the foreign policy abilities of the worlds most articulate and intelligent human and I hate to see the Middle East get into an even worse turmoil with these incompetent jerks occupying the White House and control of the U.S. Senate.

 

Actually I believe that former U.N. Ambassador, John Bolton might be the wisest person to listen to on this matter.  Time will tell but we cannot afford to throw Israel into the lion's den.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I heard several reports and read an article telling of an undercover operation approved by N.Y. City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.  This undercover operation  was conducted at a Gun Show in Phoenix, Arizona.   The first thing that jumps out at me is the question of just exactly at what point in history did the Mayor of N.Y. City have any jurisdiction in Phoenix, Arizona?  But we can't let   a little thing like jurisdiction get in the way of Mayor Bloomberg's investigation, can we?  And his big deal was that a NON FEDERALLY LICENSED DEALER sold a firearm to someone who pretended to not want a background check run.

 

HEY  MAYOR  BLOOMBERG!!!  The background check ONLY APPLIES TO FEDERALLY LICENSED DEALERS!    I know of no way that a non-Federally Licensed Firearm Dealer can legally conduct a background check on someone.   It is probably a violation for anyone to knowingly sell a firearm to a convicted felon or to a non U.S. citizen but I do not know  that for sure and I'll wager that the idiot the people of N.Y. City have elected as their Mayor doesn't know of one either.  But of course we can't  let something like the law get in the way of this boob's play for gun control.  The article said that all exhibitors are required to follow state and federal gun laws.  So if a state or federal gun law was broken then I say it is up to the State of Arizona to pursue the incident AND  NOT  THE    YORK CITY  MAYOR.

---------------------------------------------------------------

DAMN!  It is sure nice to know that you have made the right decision about an elected official.  As I alluded to last week, Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is not going to seek re-election in 2012 which suits me fine as I view her as a condescending varmint of the highest.   Then last Thursday my views were confirmed when the (Sub) Standard wrote an opinion stating that Senator Hutchison had served her constituents well.  In the past 7 years I have found damn little on which I and the  (Sub) Standard are in agreement.   I won't go into the article as I do not wish to see my lunch regurgitated on my computer keyboard.  Anyway,  getting rid of her is a good thing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I an entertainment section of the (Sub) Standard  a few days back I read an article about the release of &;The Mechanic&;.   The article convinced me that many of these entertainment journalists are on about an even par with reporters from MSNBC, CNN, Sports Illustrated, ESPN Radio and various other incompetents.  The article said &;John Statham OUTSHINES  CHARLES  BRONSON&;.   I can only think of a line from an old &;Stan Freeburg&; recording of &;The Yellow Rose of Texas&; when Freeburg said:  &;Now you can cover up YELLOW  and you  can cover up ROSE, BUT  DON'T  YOU COVER UP  TEXAS!&;   I am sure there are some good actors around today BUT DON'T TRY TO TELL ME THAT ONE OF THESE    AGE  TWINKIES  CAN COMPARE  WITH  CHARLES  BRONSON.  I think I wrote a few months back that while I am not a huge Brad Pitt fan, I thought he did a really good job in &;Legends of the Fall&; which is one of the few er films I have enjoyed.   I have not seen the &;True Grit&; yet but plan to remedy that either this or next week.

 

Actually most of my favorite actors around today are all about my age or older:

 

Robert Duval

Anthony Hopkins

Gene Hackman

Jeff Bridges

Wilford Brimley

Clint Eastwood

Tom Selleck

 

I can still remember movies which had very little real action and little or no special effects upon which today's films seem to thrive.

 

Try:

Inherit The Wind

To Kill A Mockingbird

 

And even some which did have some action but not the blow up kind we see today:

 

Bad Day at Black Rock - One of my favorites which I saw at a sneak preview in Houston.  It did not run at the downtown theaters only the neighborhood theaters.

As a matter of fact, almost anything with Spencer Tracy was worth watching more than once.  As was any movie starring Errol Flynn.

 

And if you think that John Wayne could only make Westerns - try Donovan's Reef  and The Quiet Man

 

Bottom line is that trying to compare these so called actors today with some of the really great MOVIE STARS of the past is idiotic. 

------------------------------------------------

Also, keep this thought in mind.  While I keep harping on staying on top of our elected officials and keep their lines busy if they are doing or supporting something which you don't like, by the same token when they do something that you do like,  let them know that you appreciate their actions there. I am sure they are not accustomed to hearing from their constituents when the do good.  So let them know when you are pleased.

January 26th, 2011 APPOINTMENT / SPEECH / TOUGH
Seperator
Greetings once again from the Central Time Zone Headquarters Of The Vast Right Wing Vitriolic Anti-Green Jingoistic Gun Ownin' Angry SUV Drivers.

 

APPOINTMENT:
 

Last Friday, the world's most articulate and intelligent human announced that he was appointing General Electric Company CEO Jeffrey Immelt as the head of a Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.  BOY!  What a relief.  For a moment there I was under the impression that we were not going to have any Councils;  Committees;  Blue Ribbon Panels;  or some other useless group by some other name.  Are we not fortunate that the world's most intelligent and articulate human is around to appoint this type of quality individual to head another group.

 

If you wanted to find a bigger turd to appoint to a position, I challenge you to find a bigger one than Jeffrey Immelt.  Am I wrong, or is this the same Jeffery Immelt who was the CEO of General Electric several years ago when it was learned that General Electric was doing some back door business with Iran?

 

I guess that must have been another Jeffery Immelt and another General Electric operating behind the scenes.

 

The bottom line is that Jeffery Immelt fits right in with the other people that the world's most intelligent and articulate human has chosen to associate with over the years.  And the following is an Obama e from the Associated Press article:

 

&;Our job is to do everything we can to ensure that businesses can take root, and FOLKS can find good jobs.   We're going to BUILD STUFF and INVENT STUFF&;.

 

WOW!  I really love it when the world's most articulate and intelligent human really gets down to the explanation of another of his brilliant ideas.  I wish he wouldn't be so technical though.  Wonder if that last couple of statements made a chill run up the leg of Permanent Varmint, Chris Matthews?

 

Anyway this is just another useless move appointing a useless turd to a useless position on a useless panel created by the most useless President this country has seen.   Sorry Jimmy Carter, your title has been taken away............... but just barely.

 

TOUGH:
 

I read, heard, and received photographs of a rather disturbing occurrence which took place at a celebration of Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, South Carolina.   According to the articles and I am looking at a photograph of the event as I am writing this piece:

 

&;The annual MLK observance at the state house in Columbia SC had an interesting twist this year.  The event is held on the north side steps of the statehouse.  Prominent at that location is a large bronze statue of George Washington.  This year, the NAACP constructed a BOX to conceal the Father of His Country from view so that participants would not be offended by his presence.&;

 

Well, to the NAACP and to those who would be offended at viewing a statue of our Nation's FIRST  PRESIDENT and who is one of those directly responsible for the formation of The United States of America and is a true American Hero, I feel that I must point out that the NAACP is becoming almost as irrelevant as the United Nations and to those NAACP Members or to anyone else who might be offended at a statue of the Father Of Our Country TOO BAD.  Or as Major Frank Burns on the TV series M.A.S.H might have said,  &;HARD  CHEESE&;.  Or perhaps I should say what I really feel, TOUGH SHIT!

 

Or perhaps the NAACP and their obviously incompetent leadership might be better served if they pursued the answer to these two questions:

 

1)  Why can Goofy talk and Pluto cannot?

 

2)  Why Popeye and Bluto always fought over the ugliest woman ever?

 

What a bunch of buffoons.

 

SPEECH:
 

Yesterday evening I was torn between watching the entire State of the Union speech or going out and eating pizza.  We chose the latter and were not sorry for the choice we made.   We took six young Korean students out for pizza and after eating we treated them to a game room where they rode motorcycles; jet skis;  race cars; and shot pistols (electronic of course).   They had a ball and so did we.   Anyway I k that arriving at our house about 8:30 P.M. we would still be subjected to a good part of the State of the Union Address given by the world's most articulate and intelligent human.

 

You see in today's world of communications we are subjected to a number of reports early in the day in which so called reporters, who have received copies of the speech, tell us what the President is going to say.   Then if you watch the speech you can hear direct from his mouth what he is saying.  Then after the speech you can be bombarded with varying reports of what you just heard.  All in all it is a slight case of overkill and in reality it is much ado about nothing.

 

First of all during the parts of the speech that I heard, I was fairly well convinced that the world's most articulate and intelligent human was lying.  Then I felt as if he were speaking in such general terms that there were no specifics.  And I don't know about the rest of you but I am a hell of a lot more interested in SPENDING CUTS than I am in a BUDGET FREEZE.

 

When you really dissect what these politicians are saying, a Budget Freeze means that the amount of monies spent/wasted will remain.  Spending Cuts indicates that there will be a reduction in spending.   Just like when the Democrats/Liberals/Progressive/Socialists talk about Tax Cuts For The Rich, they are actually describing  tax rates remaining the same.  If something remains the same it is not a CUT.

 

Then of course we were subjected to all this Kumbayah and reaching across the aisle and bi-partisan rhetoric.   Please spare me.  Then we are subjected to so called Republican Senator John McCain tell us how smart Barack Obama is and what good ideas he has and that all in all he is doing a good job.

 

In this morning's edition of the (sub) Standard there was a section called West Texas Reaction.   In this section there were  statements by both Texas Senators and three West Texas Congressmen.  The report did not surprise me at all.  Senator John Cornyn said that he wanted to see action rather than just talk.  But he was against government spending and called for a balanced budget amendment................. Representative Mike Conaway said that his number one priority was cutting spending and that holding spending at its current rate wasn't good enough.................. Representative Mac Thornberry also called for change in government spending and reviewing every government program for efficiency and effectiveness................. Representative Randy Neugebauer said, &;On November 2, the voters of this country sent the federal government a memo.  The memo was very clear.  Americans want Washington out of their way, and want tax hikes and rising deficits to end.  Unfortunately many of the statements made by the president tonight appear to signal that he still has not read this memo and doesn't understand that larger government means a weaker and less innovative  economy.&;....................... And last but not least was Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison who said, &;Tonight we saw a change in the President's message, and that is a good sign....... I look forward to working in the Senate, with my colleagues in the House, and with the President to create jobs in the private sector, and to bring down spending.&;

 

In my estimation, Kay Bailey Hutchison is a RINO and has also announced that she will not be seeking another term in the U.S. Senate.  That suits me fine as I do not believe that she reflects anything resembling conservative views and has waffled on many occasions in the past.  Several years ago I received a reply from her office which indicated to me that she had no real interest in the views of her constituents and she sounded an awful lot like John McCain and Lindsey Graham regarding immigration.

 

Anyway, I was not the least bit surprised at this speech and I was a bit surprised that most of the FOX s folks thought this speech was pretty useless and presented no answers to the problems faced by our nation.  Of course the exceptions were Juan Williams and Kirsten Powers which came as no surprise.  But Brit Hume and Charles Krauthammer were pretty critical.

MORE STUFF:
 

From an article in the (Sub) Standard :  Former Dictator's Return A Mystery

 

This article by a somewhat puzzled reporter from one of the s agencies is inquiring into the reason for the return to Haiti by Jean-Claude &;Baby Doc&; Duvalier.   Let's look back into the history of Haiti for a moment.   Jean-Claude's father &;Papa Doc&; Duvalier was a ruthless dictator of this island country populated by some of the most uneducated;  ass-backward people on the planet.   After &;Papa Doc's&; death the reins were handed over to &;Baby Doc&; who was a carbon copy of his father which meant that torture, murder, rape, and every other violent crime was the rule rather than the exception in this island paradise.

 

In 1986, &;Baby Doc&; fled the island in exile and went to France who evidently welcomed this mutt with open arms.  Of course he had looted the treasury and fled with a great deal of wealth.

 

He returned last week to Haiti which the article described as a country dealing with the aftermath of an earthquake,  a cholera outbreak  and a disputed presidential election.  Hey!   You don't suppose that ol' &;Baby Doc&; might just be trying to resume his power over this backward country, do you?  Evidently the reporter who wrote this article has the intellectual depth of a crushed beer can.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK.  I am pretty sure the rest of you have pretty much the same opinion but I just want to make it perfectly clear what my views are on our ly elected Republican  Congressmen and Senators.

 

First, I did not vote or support Republican candidates so that they could go to Washington, D.C. just to &;play nice&; with the Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist politicians.   If one of those folks &;on the other side of the aisle&; has a good idea or a piece of legislation which does not sell out conservative principles then they should by all means listen.   BUT, SELLING  OUT  IS  NOT  AN  OPTION.

 

I heard one politician on one of the radio programs this morning say that the November elections were not about electing Republicans just to oppose President Obama's ideas, but rather to work with the Democrats and compromise.

 

Well let me tell you right now that is not why I wanted the Republicans to get back in control of the House or Senate or White House.  I definitely want my Senators and Representative to OPPOSE the Obama Agenda.  As of this time I have not seen or heard of one single thing supported by this Mob Controlled President with which I am in agreement.  Anyone who subscribes to the beliefs of Saul Alinsky is not now or ever will be on the path that I have chosen to take.

 

We need to keep on these elected officials.  It did not take long for several of them to forgot who put them in these positions.  Senator Brown from Massachusetts is beginning to sound more like a Democrat/Progressive than I would have thought.  I also heard a statement made by the Senator from  Florida, Marco Rubio, in which he spoke negatively about the Tea Party movement.  HEY  MARCO!   The Tea Party People in Florida are the very people who got you elected.

 

The point being is that these politicians have a very short memory and must be reminded REGULARLY why they were elected and it wasn't to support Barack Hussein Obama's agenda....nor to reach across the aisle and play nice with the Democrats/Progressives/Socialists.

 

Keep in mind, we don't owe them a damn thing.  They owe us loyalty, leadership and strength.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey!  Who is the biggest doof around?  My personal vote goes to Motorcycle Expert Jesse James.  I read the other day where he is going to wed Tattoo Artist Kat vonDrachenberg (or Kat vonD to the purists).   Now let me paint you a picture of this rocket scientist:

 

1) He was married to Sondra Bullock.

2) Sondra Bullock had just won the Academy Award for Best Actress in the movie Blind Side

3) Either the same day or the day after the s broke that Jesse was having an affair with Kat vonDrachenberg.

4) Jesse and Sondra get a divorce

5) Now Jesse is going to wed Kat vonDrachenberg

 

All of this indicates to me that Jesse James has either been stricken with a severe attack of lunacy or he possesses the I.Q.  of an un-soaked pinto bean.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

All right, I admit it.  I did not  watch the Golden Globe Awards.

 

But I will make up for it by not watching the Academy Awards.

---------------------------------------------------

Last week I place Ronald Reagan's son, Ronnie Reagan on the Varmint's list.   This week I was really happy that this worthless little turd had taken a place with the rest of the vermin.  I saw a film clip of him bad mouthing former Vice President Dick Cheney for approving of the practice of water boarding terrorists.   As I gathered, Ronnie was way more concerned with the rights of terrorists than he was the safety of his country.

 

Also you will notice that Christiane Amanpour is also an addition on the Varmint's List.   After that pathetic pack of lies told by Barack Hussein Obama at his so called State of the Union address,  Christiane Amanpour (sorry but I don't know which idiotic network she works for) stated that Obama's speech was Reaganesque  which made me want to throw up.  Then I thought that she might be right.  He and Ronnie Reagan seem to have been feeding at the same trough.

------------------------------------------------------

OK.  It's the Packers and the Steelers.  And I think they both played really good in the playoffs.  Throughout the playoffs I noticed a rather odd circumstance:

1)  I have a Philadelphia Eagles jacket - - they lost

2)  I have a Kansas City Chiefs cap - - they lost

3)  I have  a England Patriots jacket - - they lost

4)  I have a Seattle Sea Hawks jacket - - they lost

5)  I have a 3/4 length insulated hooded Chicago Bears stadium coat - - they lost

6)  I have a Texas Longhorn Coat, jacket, cap, sweatshirt - - they didn't even make a bowl game

7)  I have a Texas A & M jacket, cap, pullover - - they lost

 

Perhaps I can persuade the Steelers and the Packers to bid on which of their jackets and gear I will not buy for the Super Bowl.  Just a thought.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Have a good week.

Seperator
Hello once again from the Central Time Zone Headquarters For 4 Wheel Drive Pickup Ownin' Fossil Fuel Burnin'  Gun Totin' Tea Party Supportin' Angry Conspiratorial  Mob Members.

 

TUCSON:
 

As a general rule I do not watch Memorial Services on television but seeing as how such a huge deal was made about Barack Hussein Obama being a speaker at the Memorial for those who were murdered by the Tucson shooter the week before.   Of course I was operating under the false impression that this service was primarily meant to honor those who were killed in the attack.

 

But when the coverage first started I k that this was not going to be your typical Memorial Service.  I was a bit puzzled regarding the music which was played  at the outset.   Actually I heard the same piece of music played at a concert immediately prior to the introduction of The Rolling Stones.  It is not that I do not like that particular piece but I do believe that it was a bit inappropriate for a Memorial Service.  But when all the dignitaries were seated and the program began I immediately k that this so called Memorial Service was not going to be about honoring those who were brutally murdered.  This was just another photo-op for the world's most articulate and intelligent human and his spouse.

 

I can assure you that I have pretty thick skin and have been called a lot of names which I did not like and I have had to listen to various people throughout my life whom I k were completely wrong in their thoughts.  I have been insulted and in return insulted a hell of a lot of people.  I have been in quite a few fights and won some and lost some.   I have been a fan of the Dallas Cowboys since 1960 and have enjoyed some triumphs and some setbacks with them.   I have been a fan of the Texas Longhorn football team as well as the Texas A & M football team and have had many ups and downs with them throughout the past 65 or so years.  I know life is about give and take and I believe that I have been on both ends and survived pretty well.

 

BUT, when I have to be subjected to ations from the Bible by Janet Napolitano and Eric Holder, it is more than a person should be expected to bear.  But at least their remarks were short and I found out why.  This gave more time for their fearless leader, Barack Hussein Obama to make a political speech, and that friends is exactly what it was.   Oh sure, the names of the deceased were mentioned as well as Congresswoman Giffords but Obama's speech, which I understand was over 30 minutes in length, centered more on himself than it did those who this service was supposed to be about.  And I know that many of you had to catch the part where the world's most articulate and intelligent human broke the s that Ms. Giffords opened her eyes FOR  THE  FIRST TIME when he and Michelle were in her hospital room.  Of course this brought a huge cheer  from the crowd, whom I suspect was loaded with Obama plants.  But the real message being shoved down the throat of the general public was that Obama appears to have some type of power to make things happen, or in my estimation, use the deaths of six people and the critical condition of Congresswoman Giffords to further the political ambitions of the world's most articulate and intelligent human.

 

All in all I thought it was a pitiful excuse for a Memorial to honor those who had been murdered by a man who obviously has some real anti-social traits.

 

I was also a bit disappointed in some of the FOX s folks and of course almost all of the other media with their take that Obama was really trying to get across a positive message.  I think Obama was merely feathering his own nest and using the tragedies in the lives of others to do so.

 

But then again, I believe that the Obama administration is still following the instructions of Rahm Emmanuel about not letting a good crisis go to waste.  All I know is that we have some real sorry people in charge of our federal government at the present time and many should be replaced.

 

A little off the subject but I figured that people from Maine to California heard my shout of happiness when I learned that Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison WAS  NOT going to seek re-election.   Although a Republican in name, she was not conservative by any stretch of the imagination and I think we have a chance here in Texas to right a wrong which occurred when that woman was first elected.

 

REAGAN:
 

First of all I want it perfectly clear that I was/am/will be  a loyal supporter of our former President Ronald Reagan.   When I was born, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President of the United States and of course at the time lots of folks thought that he walked on water.  (For those of you residing in The People's Republic of San Francisco, this is a Metaphor)   I can remember when President Roosevelt died and the Presidency was taken over by Harry Truman.   I was still pretty young but I always thought that Harry Truman was a tough cookie and didn't take a bunch of stuff off anyone.  Even at a young age I appreciated that.   He sort of reminded me of how my Dad and Uncles were.   Then of course Dwight Eisenhower was elected and I never really viewed him as super strong but he always seemed to be a pretty nice guy.

 

Then JFK soon to be followed by LBJ who got out while the gettin' was good.  This paved the way for Richard Nixon who I always sort of liked his style until the Watergate scandal sunk him and the Republicans.  But I still think Richard Nixon was way ahead of most in his foreign policy.  THEN  we were subjected to four years of Jimmy Carter who may have been the worst of the lot until this bozo we have in there now. 

 

Then the American people showed the good sense to Elect Ronald Reagan who I believe is the greatest President in my lifetime.

 

All of this brings me to the point about today's Ronald Reagan.  Of course I am speaking of Ronald Reagan and Nancy Reagan's son Ronnie.  I understand that he has a book out.  Now normally I won't comment on a book unless I have read it.  But the thought of purchasing a book and contributing a red cent to Ronnie Reagan is appalling.  I have heard some comments on the book by several radio hosts and several s reporters and they have all reported that in this book Ronnie Reagan (who incidentally is a liberal little turd) claims that his father Ronald Reagan had Alzheimer's Disease WHILE  HE WAS  PRESIDENT.

 

Now I am not sure at exactly which medical school Ronnie Reagan received his training but bringing out an accusation such as this against his own father is pretty damn low.   I have also heard Michael Reagan speak on this subject and he is absolutely livid  with his brother.   Isn't it strange that the adopted son, Michael is more loyal to his Father and Mother than is their biological son Ronnie.  But this really shouldn't come a surprise to any of us.  I remember when President Ronald Reagan passed away and there was a huge Memorial Service given in his memory and at this service there were a number of former Presidents as well as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher who spoke as well as Ronnie Reagan.  Even at that service Ronnie couldn't resist making a jibe at then President George W. Bush regarding &;Wearing his religion on his sleeve&;.

 

I pretty much though Ronnie belonged in the turd grouping back then and there is nothing which has changed my mind at this point.  SO  RONNIE,  WELCOME  TO  VARMINTVILLE.

 

Also years ago I heard a football coach asked if he was going to start Johnny Unitas since he had been injured and was only about 80% and the coach replied that Unitas was indeed going to start and that Unitas at 80% was still the best quarterback in the league.  He was right of course and I sort of think the same about Ronald Reagan.  If he wasn't 100% he was still miles ahead of the rest.

MORE STUFF:
 

There is a name on our prayer list which is that of Bob Wallman.   Bob is one of my oldest friends here in San Angelo.  He is now 82 years old and his wife is presently in a nursing home.  Bob's health has gone down over the past seven and a half years that I have know him.  But with him barely being able to walk on his own this good man volunteers for almost everything under the sun.  Until recently he delivered meals to shut-ins two days a week.  Then every Saturday he worked four hours at Fort Concho.   He volunteered for many other charitable causes in our area and has finally been forced to give up delivering meals one day and has had to give up every Saturday at Ft. Concho  although I did notice that he did work one week end prior to Christmas.  This man is Retired Military and served in Korea and Vietnam and has lived all over the world.

 

He is one of the kindest people I have ever known and is an ordained Presbyterian Minister.  His first military service was in the U.S. Army and he retired from the U.S. Air Force as a Major.  If he doesn't have to go to some type of rehab he never misses coffee at the Target Coffee Shop.   He is an avid shooter and just an all round great person.  

 

It is sad to see people of his character coming to the end of their string and I sincerely want each of you to say a special prayer for him every day.   We need more like him.  Oh, and perhaps I forgot to mention, Bob is a bit on the Conservative side and I am thankful to have him for a friend.

A week or so back my wife and I went to a local restaurant which serves really good Mexican food.  While there we noticed a television set up high on one wall and it was on a channel which was showing nothing but old MGM Tom & Jerry Cartoons.   Of course the sound was turned off but the cartoons were still enjoyable since MGM had some really great quality animators back during those years.   I have always been told that the difference between good animation and bad animation is that with good animation you still can follow the story of the cartoon  without the sound, whereas with bad animation it is not the action which tells the story but you must depend upon dialog to understand what the story is about.

 

This brings me to I believe FOX Television Network on Sunday nights has nothing but animated shows and I must add BAD  ANIMATED  SHOWS.  What our society had been reduced to is the idea that it is perfectly fine to have sexual innuendos and course language and bad behavior passed off as normal BUT it is not permissible  to  watch Jerry hit tome over the head with a shovel and watch Tom shatter like a broken vase.   We certainly cannot permit our children or grandchildren to watch Wile E. Coyote use every trick under the sun and every tool manufactured by the ACME Corp.  and always come up on the short end of the stick.

 

The truth is that our society has allowed these liberals to CENSOR thing that are funny and harmless but encourage viewing things which I believe are harmful to young people.  Isn't it funny how even a little thing like a Tom & Jerry Cartoon which we all enjoyed while growing up is now taboo to the liberal masters.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is about all for this week.  We have our young student from South Korea staying with us for several weeks.  She and my wife are quite the shopping duo.  She also seems to like Mexican food which is good thing.  Of course all of the Korean kids love pizza which is also one of my very favorite dishes.

 

When I was growing up in Houston my Dad leased a building in which he ran a small neighborhood grocery story from and old Italian family.   Their daughter and grandson who was my friend spoke English as well as anyone but the old Grandma and Grandpa spoke nothing but Italian.  They liked me and I ate lots of meals at their home and fell in love with Italian food.   I still love it.

 

More next week.

WEDNESDAY - January 12,  2011

 

Happy Year from the West Texas Center For Gun Ownin' Fossil Fuel Burnin' Jingoistic Four Wheel Drive Pickup Drivin' Right Wing Conspirators.

 

The Year has passed and for the first time since Year's Eve I feel almost human.  My wife and I both had our flu shots and we both have had our pneumonia shots but we both came down with something that eats the flu for breakfast.  But it looks like we are both about  to get back on track.  I sure do appreciate all of your e-mails and your prayers.

 

YEAR SAME STUFF:

 

And of course by the &;Same Stuff&; I mean that the Progressives/Socialists/Liberals/Democrats have not missed a step and while the world's most articulate and intelligent human appears to be playing it low key, I can't help but believe that his &;Puppet Masters&; have perhaps for once  given him the correct advice insofar as his comments on the shooting incident last week end in Tucson in which Arizona Representative Gabrielle Gifford  was seriously wounded along with a number of others as well as six people being murdered by Jared Loughner.

 

Almost immediately the mainstream media mutts began speculating that this shooting came as a result of so called hate speech by conservatives including conservative talk radio.  Then the Sheriff of Pima County, Arizona, Clarence N. Dupnik put in his take on the matter which followed right along Progressive/Democrat Party lines.   Then not to be outdone a U.S. Representative from South Carolina, James E. Clyburn put the icing on the cake by agreeing with this in depth look at the matter.  And of course, the U.S. Senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin had to put in this really objective views on the subject which was in lock step with those other two buffoons previously mentioned.

 

Of course there are some stories being reported today, at least on FOX s, that perhaps the Pima County Sheriff's Department had some previous warning that Loughner might pose a danger to the public.  Hey!  You don't suppose that Pima County Sheriff  Clarence Dipsh.... excuse me, Dupnik might just be trying to cover his own ass do you?  Just a thought.

 

Immediately following the shooting Sheriff Dips.... Dupnik made his first appearance on television and I was in another room and did not see it but my wife who is not even in the same league as me when it comes to being opinionated and critical of stupid people pointed out to me the idiotic statements made to the media by Sheriff Dips.... Dupnik.

 

After spending a total of 45 years in Law Enforcement I absolutely could not believe the information being released to the media by the Sheriff of Pima County, Arizona.   Also I have receive a bunch of e-mails from Arizona residents who are way less than thrilled with Sheriff Dips.... Dupnik's performance.

 

Of course Illinois Senator Dick Durbin is already on the Varmint's List but South Carolina Congressman James E. Clyburn along with Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dips... Dupnik have blasted their way onto this list.   They are in excellent company.

 

Then of course today I watched a couple of film clips of former President Bill Clinton giving his unbiased opinion on this matter and the thought immediately crossed my mind that I was really happy that he was married to Hillary Rodham Clinton and that those two mutts really are deserving of each other.

 

And I heard today that one Democrat/Progressive politician was actually using this tragedy as a fund raising tool.  I did not hear who this was other than it was a Democrat politician.

 

Then as late as yesterday I saw where the Westboro Baptist Church group was going to demonstrate at the funeral of  nine year old Christina Taylor-Green.  I am sure you remember that this is the group who have been loudly protesting at funerals of our Military Personnel who have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan.   I believe that these idiots decided not to protest this young lady's funeral, not out of respect, but rather because they were afraid of some repercussions from other groups.   Which leads me to believe while they might be complete turds, they are a bit smarter than originally thought.

 

And of course, almost immediately Democrat/Liberal/Progressive/Socialist politicians began to set up a howl about firearms ownership;  gun control;  high capacity magazines (for those of you presently residing in the People's Republic of San Francisco these are the items which hold ammunition for either a semi-automatic or fully automatic firearm, not the paper things with pictures which you thumb through at a doctor's office).  I even heard one of the so called Democratic Strategists make the statement that if the shooter had not been in possession of a high capacity magazine that fewer people would have been killed.   That may be true but it also may not be true.  When it comes to firearms issues I would place more stock in the opinion of my 11 year old grandson than I would in a &;Democratic Strategist&;.

 

Then of course, and this was completely lost in the knee-jerk reactions of the Liberals/Democrats/Progressives/Socialists, another of those killed in this attack was a CONSERVATIVE United States District Judge, John Roll.  I just wonder how they can lay the blame on &;Conservative Vitriolic Speech&; and &;Conservative Talk Radio&; and FOX s when one of the victims was a CONSERVATIVE  UNITED STATES DISTRICT  JUDGE?  Once again, rational thought seems to have completely escaped these flaming left wing loons..... (I had better use this term now as it may be ruled hate speech by this time next week).   Of course after some sane people began to look into the background of Jared Loughner it appears that he was more attracted to the radical left than to any other group.

 

Anyway, while the Liberals/Progressives/Socialists/Democrats are attempting to extract their heads from their rear ends, I believe that the grown-ups in our country should be offering our prayers to the families of those who were murdered or injured in last Saturday's tragic incident in Tucson.

 

Also it might be a pretty good idea for the citizens in Pima County to be looking for an opponent to run against Sheriff Clarence W. Dipsh....Dupnik in his bid for re-election.  Just a thought.

STILL MORE  STUFF:

 

Well the college football season is over and Auburn University ended up winning the BCS  National Championship.  And in spite of the game being called by Brent Mussberger it was a pretty interesting game.  I am still not a huge fan of Auburn quarterback Cam ton as I have received lots of e-mails  from people who k of him while he was still at the University of Florida.   I am not totally convince that he possesses the character necessary to be rated as one of the best.  He does have quite a bit of athletic ability but I still harbor some doubts regarding his character.

 

Once again though, the BCS/NCAA or whoever-in-the-hell is in  charge of getting people to sing the Star Spangled Banner have dropped the ball in my books.   Our National Anthem is not a Hip-Hop;  RAP; Blues; or Country and Western tune.   Also during the Cotton Bowl pre-game ceremonies the Texas Aggie Marching Band was on for a few brief moments and then they cut to some people in the broadcast booth.

 

I cannot even imagine what the pre-game and half-time entertainment will be like at this year's Super Bowl.   Just when you think you have seen the worst, the NFL finds some idiots who really show their backsides.

 

I still love football but the NFL with a very few exceptions has lost my support as have many of the colleges and NCAA Conferences.   Actually some of the best games on TV are some of the playoff games in the Division II and Division III Schools.

 

But the best football on the planet in my estimation is Texas High School Football.  And it doesn't matter which class you see all the way from the Six-Man schools through the 5A schools.   I have  watched High School Football since the early 1950's and have seen many future College and NFL Hall of Fame players perform.   As I get older I appreciate true amateur athletics more and more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

In the print media and on radio and television I keep hearing reports of how our military spending must be cut.  Now I am well aware that Military Spending, particularly when we have troops in battle areas, is one of our biggest spending areas.   But I also realize that we have men and women who are in dangerous areas and are putting their lives on the line and I do not believe in cutting spending which could place them in even more danger.   I still believe that there are many areas in say like WELFARE  PROGRAMS  and AID TO FOREIGN  COUNTRIES which could be trimmed rather than cutting spending on equipment and personnel for our military.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Earlier this week there was an editorial piece in the (Sub) Standard by Deroy Murdock.  I have come to really appreciate this man's take on things.  This particular piece dealt with Katie Couric and her views on &;Bigotry against Muslims&;.  But Katie being the deep thinker we have all come to appreciate had a rather unique idea to battle this problem of &;Bigotry against Muslims&;.  I know you will all probably have about as much use for her brilliant idea as did I.  OK, here  it is:  &;Maybe we need a Muslim version of The Cosby Show.... I know that sounds crazy  but The Cosby Show did so much to change attitudes about African-Americans in this country, and I think some people are afraid of what they don't understand.&;......  Then Mr. Murdock's response to Katie's idea of a Muslim Cosby Show was a classic.   Below I will e some of his response:

 

&;With apologies to chickens, ostriches and other feathered creatures, Couric's comments are multifariously bird-rained.&;  ..... &;Couric's  comments seem blissfully detached from the clear and present danger posed by Muslim zealots.&; ...... Mr. Murdock went on to list just a few of the Muslim Terrorists who have either pled guilty or are awaiting trial for  a number of thwarted terrorist  attacks against U.S. targets.  He then went on to say........&;Shallower than Saran Wrap,  Couric uttered not a word about this.   She sees the real threat as average Americas with a deep-seated hatred  of all Muslims.&;

 

It is always a pleasure for me to read a column when someone with some real common sense exposes one of the &;Mainstream Media&; members who appears to have the intellectual depth of a dirty Pamper.   So, Hats Off to Deroy Murdock.   And a big UP  YOURS to Katie Couric.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I received an e-mail which originated from a citizen in Oregon with the information that the State of Oregon, in their infinite wisdom,  raised its state income-tax on the richest 2% of its residents last year to fix its budget hole, but the state treasurer admitted that the state collected nearly one-third less revenue than had been projected.

 

The article indicated that if Salem officials want to find where the millionaires went, they might start the  search in Texas, which leads the nation in job creation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Next Sunday we will have another student from South Korea coming to our home for a four week study course in English.  I learned a lesson from our last student who stayed in our home that I had to really watch my language as these students are among their brightest and not much slips past them.  It was a really great experience and we are looking forward to meeting this young lady from Ulsan University in South Korea.

--------------------------------------------

That's it for this week and thanks again for your prayers and good wishes.
