There are many proposals being kicked around as to what to do with our foolish friends at Gitmo when the prison closes. Nancy Pelosi has decided that she doesn’t want the terrorists in her state. Great! Not in my back yard. I get that, but her justification is pretty lame.
“Alcatraz is a tourist attraction. It’s a prison that is now sort of like a — it’s a national park.”
Pelosi has obviously missed the boat here. If you say “tourist” with a Texas accent you get “terrorist”. Just a little change in marketing and you can now sell it to the people. But let’s look further into this. It’s a national park. It’s a prison, that is a tourist attraction, and is a national park. What do you call a park that attracts tourists and is a prison? It’s called a zoo. Add some Al-Qaeda baboons and you’re all set.
Keeping track of terrorist networks is very difficult according to most reports, but there are many problems with our own infrastructure that could be dealt with. The FBI is investigating the German heavy metal band, Scorpions, because a record (yes before CDs and cassettes) cover may have child pornography on it. Now first of all if the terrorists are going to nuke an American city you would think that was the priority, especially since the odds of terror attack are better than even. Aside from law enforcement being ordered to waste its time on something totally absurd, the real absurdity is that this record is 32-years old. It took 32 years for the top brass in Washington to notice something being sold in broad daylight in the US. If our own government notices a potential crime 32 years later, don’t expect them to do a good job of preventing terrorism before it happens. If you are lucky you’ll see a government report about why Dallas is missing 32 years after the incident happens.
A wake up call to the citizens of “Colly-Fornia”. You have just been taken over by the Christian Taliban. The Mormons were primary out of state supporters for Proposition 8, which has banned gay marriage in California. The tricky thing is that Proposition 8 bans gay marriage with a Yes vote. If you voted no to Proposition 8 you were for gay marriage. The tricky thing I heard on the radio was that a group of religious nuts went into the liberal urban areas of California and were circulating literature stating that Proposition 8 was for gay marriage. What may have happened is that some people voted against gay marriage when they were personally for it.
There are multiple things wrong with this scenario. Marriage is a private affair. Neither the state nor the church should have any say in the topic. Licensing of marriage is just another tax and is only millimeters away from a time when the King of England decided who could get married and who couldn’t. The only difference is that it’s a bunch of bureaucrats, rather than a monarch who is owned by the church. Is there a situation where it is even appropriate to divulge that you are married? What about Medical and Car insurance perhaps? No, you simply say there are two people in this household and we want to pay extra on a single policy for two people. As far as total strangers go, I don’t need to know if you’re single, married, gay married, swingers, asexual, or what. Just make me a damn soy latte so I can get the hell of out of Starbuck’s. The same goes for friends as well. If I’m hanging out to watch the game, it doesn’t mean I need to know how your household runs.
The other problem I have with the Mormons is they’re messing with another state. I’m all for them doing what they want, provided it’s within the boundaries of their home base of Salt Lake City. What your neighbor does is none of your business. If you don’t like your neighbor then pack up and move.
If the Mormons are willing to screw with California lifestyle, how safe are the rest of us? Mormons don’t smoke or drink. You can expect them, like the Taliban, to be forcing this view on the rest of the country. Mormons don’t like chocolate, coffee, tea, or Coca-Cola because they have caffeine in them. This means that carbonated beverages with your lunch are out the door, along with chocolate cake for dessert. The Mormons are on the verge of waging war on The South by trying to take down our unique institutions of iced sweet tea and Coca-Cola. Mayor Ray Naign of New Orleans should be very worried. If the Mormons succeed in banning chocolate, will New Orleans be a “chocolate city”? If you like to eat or drink what you want it is time to go stand with the gays because when the Christian Taliban finish with them, the rest of us are next.
Our friends at IBLOGA have found this little gem. A judge in Arizona has banned the term “illegal” and “aliens” in his court room. This does present a problem if you want to get a point across. I believe that we should look to how the British would describe the situation. Perhaps the term, “improper border traversers” would work. It does sound quite pleasant, especially when combined with tea and crumpets.
The concept of a clan is something that many people have a hard time dealing with. Brother Grimm seems to think that the concept of society is exactly the same as a clan except on a larger scale. How can you shoot down the concept of subsidized health care while applying a shared agreement with a clan? All clans are in competition with each other for resources or in the case of the modern world, jobs which provide money which provide resources. Supporting all of society reduces the comparative advantage that you and your family have in competing for those resources. Since resources are limited it would be self defeating to follow such a course of action. If you were around in the 1990′s when the Internet boom hit you will remember that HTML “programmers” were making $300/hr easily because there were too few of them around to meet demand. As more people learned how to “program” in HTML and tools such as Front Page and Dreamweaver came along the value of this occupation dropped. The same is true with traditional occupations such as doctor or lawyer. The difficulty of obtaining the education and experience keeps the market rate high; however, if the survivability of others is enhanced it will drive down the value of all occupations due to dilution. Choosing to join together as a family unit is something you are not forced into, but it is to your advantage. Being forced into a societal family unit is not a choice and it does not benefit you directly. This is the difference between cooperation within small groups and a whole society. By keeping competition for resources at the forefront those who are the “have nots” will be enhanced by competing for those resources. We have seen this with countless categories of immigrants. Irish and Italians no longer wanted to work in factories so they made the decisions that lead to getting out of those jobs. Asians work in nail salons and dry cleaners until they earn enough money to go to college or send their kids to college. Latinos move from agriculture to prominent places in society in a very short amount of time. This is what white and black people have forgotten. Both races have a sense of entitlement and believe that pulling yourself up the ladder is not that important. I’ve known many white people who are angry at outsourcing jobs to India or Mexicans who lower the market price of lawn work. They ask, why can’t I make a decent living as a programmer or why can’t I charge $60/hr to cut grass and make a decent living? Well this is what happens when you have too many people on the planet. According to the UN there are over 200 million people that are unemployed across the globe. That says that the planet has 200 million people too many, just for starters.
This leads us to my second point. Society means global, not just the United States. To spread the wealth around means hugging trees and singing kumbaya with the whole human race. Does Al-Qaeda deserve the same consideration your clan does? In a black and white world the answer is no. Even in a world with infinite shades of grey the answer is still no. Both the USSR and the EU have dabbled in socialism with less than stellar results. Presently the United States through capitalism has shown the greatest level of success for its people. You can’t get off the boat in France and become a millionaire in less than 20 years through hard work. Keep in mind that millions aren’t a lot in a world where a starter condo in the city will cost you more than half a million in most markets. China and Vietnam are communist on paper, but there has always been a system of payoffs and tipping to assure proper service. Since these are the two largest and most powerful Asian economies it stands to reason that the quality of life is coming up through capitalism modeled after the United States. The key objective is to put yourself in a position to better your situation, rather than thinking you can ride through life cutting grass for a living. Asians have long understood that you need to first go after what will enable you to improve your life, then pursue what you really like later on. I would also like to point out that the concept of clan transcends national boundaries. It’s a global economy and Americans will be working everywhere, therefore those that work abroad will need all their resources rather than having them redistributed to people who don’t live in the same country where they are working. When working in Dubai should we spread the wealth around to them as well as Americans? When enlarging wealth redistribution on a global scale it makes even less sense than doing it in one country. It also lends opportunity to keep those excess 200 million people alive who will be competing with your children for resources. Some liberals may think that socialism will create a safer world for the children, but instead it will lead to a world where eventual poverty will arise because there are more people in the world than there is food. This may take many years to reach this point, but it will happen. This is why the family unit must be strengthened to weather economic and environmental forces at work. Some people will die from disease, crime, war, drunk driving, etc. but that is a fact of life. Not everyone wins the lottery, and when the grand prize is getting struck by lightning you should be hoping that you not in that 576000:1 odds of winning range. The objective everyone should be seeking is to make sure that other people are the ones to fall while your entire extended family can weather the storm. You can’t fix everything and fixing people you don’t know personally can’t be a factor when you have family and friends to worry about. Just remember when bad things happen to other people it’s to your benefit, especially when you take steps to reduce the risk of those things affecting your clan.
I discovered this one via Digg and I must say that it is a really tragic story. Apparently some idiots in the Military came up with a rule that it is illegal for soldiers to befriend animals while in the field. For some reason dogs are on the shit list. Does this mean that our military has been infiltrated by Terrorists?
Baghdad Pups is a rescue organization that is dedicated to bringing the friends of our soldiers home. A cute little dog was in their care and was confiscated by the military shortly before his plane ride home. Apparently some commanding officer is busy preparing for jihad by cleansing the world of filthy dogs. Now the really scary thing is this release by the SPCA
“Soldiers can face immediate court-marshal [for befriending animals] and some even see their animals brutally murdered by a direct gunshot to the head from commanding officers who will not bend the rules.”
Now under any reasonable definition of the law shooting an animal because you can is cruelty to animals. The fact that the military targets dogs, which are unclean in Islam, is pure proof in my opinion that our military has been hijacked by terrorists of the worst kind. Whoever this commanding officer is, he needs to be detained under the PATRIOT ACT for supporting terrorism. If you act like the terrorists then you are one.
In a recent interview Sarah Palin explains to the world why she believes that incest victims should have to carry the baby to term. We will skip over those silly details since it is obvious the woman is insane. Let’s take a closer look at her point of view on something more controversial. Sarah Palin says that she is against the morning after pill. The reason? She believes that life begins at conception.
For those of you who do not know what the morning after pill is I will provide a small lesson. The abortion pill, also commonly known as RU-486, causes a miscarriage after implantation of the embryo. The morning after pill is simply a high dose of birth control to prevent implantation, which happens anyway when a woman is taking birth control. This says that she is also against birth control since it does the same thing as the morning after pill. Not too surprising from since it’s coming from the party that said you’re either for us or against us.
The conservative movement has been hijacked by religious fundamentalists that believe birth control is abortion simply because it prevents the embryo from the implantation. Sarah Palin has shown her hand and by doing so she has shown the rest of the world that she is no different than Bush. Sarah Palin believes in that silly “culture of life” which after further examination leads me to the conclusion of that “culture of life” really means culture of endless babies. It should be no surprise that her view is the same as Bush. After all it’s hard for dead embryos to grow up to be dead soldiers.
Atlanta is about to go broke. With the supreme court ruling and the new gun law in GA going into effect on July 1 legalizing guns on government property you would think someone at the City would get a clue. Instead the airport manager, Ben DeCosta, says he will have anyone arrested who brings a gun to the airport regardless of what the law says. To top it all of the former cop and State Representative Bearden who wrote the new law says he’s going to wear his gun to the Airport on July 1 and will sue the city if they arrest him.
Airport General Manager Ben DeCosta said if Bearden shows up at the world’s busiest airport with a gun, he’ll be busted.
“I can identify him, and I’ll have him arrested,” DeCosta said Monday. “We’re not fooling around. This is a post-terrorism environment.”
Someone be sure to ask Bin Laden for his concealed weapons permit when he tries to get off the MARTA train. I am so damn tired of people waving the terrorism flag. You could have 9/11 every Tuesday for a whole year and lose around 150,000 people. We would drop a nuke on someone long before the numbers reach those levels. Do something to protect your interests’ people! Bullet proof vests are under $500 on eBay and $2 Million in term life insurance can be had for less than $50/mo. That’s the average income over a lifetime with a bachelor’s degree. What you do for your clan is more important than your life. We’re all going to be dead and then reincarnated anyway so why not make sure your family gets a pay out? Stop trading freedom for security! Stop letting the terrorists win! Why do Americans frighten so easily by cavemen with beards in Afghanistan? It must be those big round eyes you have that let you see the terrorists everywhere.
The brilliance of the Midwest never ceases to amaze me. A 14 year old Sumner County girl has been charged with sodomy after reporting to a counselor that she was raped. This is absolutely outrageous. So outrageous that Attorney Sean Shores is being the hero and defending the girl for free.
“She went to her counselor, she asked for help, reached out for help and the message they sent her was–she should have kept her mouth shut,” says Shores.
Shores is a hero and is a person that makes attorneys seem less evil.
Deputy Sumner County Attorney Evan Watson simply says, “I am not in a position to discuss the facts or issues involved in any pending juvenile offender cases.
Watson on the other hand sounds like an ass hat that doesn’t understand the difference between victim and suspect. His boss should probably know that he needs to go back to law school for some remedial training.
