Stewart Meets with Treasury Secretary

This past April, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner paid a visit to comedian Jon Stewart to discuss the economy.

Um... why?

“Jon Stewart is influential in America, so we took the opportunity for the two to meet and to discuss the economy,” is the response given by the Treasury spokesman.

Uhh... what? Because a comedian is influential (a sign of the times in and of itself), the treasury secretary goes to discuss the economy with him. I would say Glenn Beck, Ronald McDonald, or Justin Bieber have as much influence as Stewart does, why choose the liberal comedian? Is there some benefit to one or the other?

I'd like to see the minutes of that meeting.

Calderón's Address to Congress: Mockery of the People's House

While it is not without nearly equal mockeries by our own supposed representatives, specifically those mockeries committed by President Soetoro, Governor Rick Perry, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and Senator Ted Kennedy, the recent presence of Mexican President Calderón in our House of Representatives clearly shows that our Congress should update their self-set rules to disallow foreigners and their officials from taking our legislative floors and wasting our elected representatives' time, at least without immediate, personal supervision by the President. Though, that didn't seem to bother Pelosi, who was all aglow just to be in the vicinity of such a 'progressive' leader.

Indeed, President Soetoro was, as he said, "... extraordinarily honored as we host you."

<sarcasm>
And oh, how our Congress cheered the man... nay, not man, for he is more than a man, he is a Mexican in America, the most celebrated form of human life! They cheered him most when he rebuked the foolish assertion of Arizona's sovereignty, for what is a state but a mere agent of the President, a servant of the collective will?



How they applauded his stalwart response to the Second Amendment to our Constitution, in demanding ("...with all due respect...") for the return of the Assault Weapons Ban!



Of course, an "assault weapon" is little more than a gun that can fire twice without reloading the magazine, so banning them would be like destroying the firearms business, which would not only harm the economy and jobs, but it would also eliminate our right to keep and bear arms, which does not exist in Mexico, which is why Mexico is run by people who keep and bear arms as well as drugs, who are also assisted by the corrupt Mexican government, which is run by Calderón, but let's not let that get in the way of Congress's love and admiration of our bondsman, because we are not defined by our national borders, we are defined by the the bonds of North America - Canada to our north and Mexico to our south, our mutual bondsmen:



</sarcasm>



I think every self-respecting American representative present at that speech by the President of Mexico should have shouted, "Shame!" at the disgusting display of disrespect to our national sovereignty and American integrity. The Mexican President wore a Mexican flag pin on his lapel, which would be, as far as I know, the only time a flag other than an American flag was displayed in our legislature; and I hope there is no precedent of a foreign symbol being seen in the People's House, be it the symbol of ally or enemy; nor should there be any foreign dignitary other than one Presidentially escorted into the building and constantly supervised until his departure.

What a disgrace to our sovereignty, a shame to those who applauded it, and another unheeded alarm to the American people.

(Mild language due to primal rage near the end:)



And, by the way, I took the time (approx. 10 minutes), to read through the entire Arizonan immigration law, SB 1070, and there is special provision to ensure there is no racial discrimination against anyone; and even if there is abuse of the law by cops, there is abuse of the Constitution every day, so why should we be so afraid? Because it hinders someone's agenda.

The Coming Ox Driver

Today, I ran onto this article from WND, which is a website I usually tolerate for news and nothing more. This story took me by surprise.

The article explains how one man, Mark Biltz, with whose ministry I am familiar, is claiming to have uncovered how the constellation "Boötes" is possibly a sign of Christ's second coming which has been in the night sky since creation. Boötes, he claims, is Hebrew for "the Coming One", and is depicted as a man holding a sickle, which is specifically related to end times iconography in Revelation. This portion of the article is what kept me reading, as I had recently been pondering the significance of the sickle in the context of that chapter.

From the article: "The word 'assemble' is the same word that is translated as 'Arcturus' in Job," he said. "So it means the same thing, to assemble, to come. And if you'll notice the word 'come' is 'bo,' which is the name of this constellation: 'Bo-otes.' So this constellation .... He's got a sickle in one hand and a spear in the other. This is a sign of the Messiah who says 'I'm coming.' That's what this constellation is all about, the Coming One. In Revelation it talks about He has a sickle in His hand."

Well, I apologize to those who are getting interested, because I'm going to have to pull some rugs out.

From the above image, by golly, it's as plain as the nose on your face that he's right...! But, let's look at the constellation as God intended, without all the doodling:



Hmm... I don't see the sickle from this angle...

Okay, I'll make it easier by emphasizing the pertinent stars (yes, I did this myself and am very pleased):
So, how we get the intricate drawing at the top of the article from playing connect-the-dots with these stars, I'll never know, because I not only don't see the sickle, I lost the man.

Actually, Boötes has been depicted as holding anything from a spear and leashed dogs, to nothing but a club. In fact, Boötes is Greek for "Ox driver", and is related to the Latin "bovis" meaning "cow", which is a far cry from the translation, "the Coming One".

Biltz, in my experience with his doctrines, generally rejects the King James Version of the Bible, and, in fact, proves many of his points by drastically changing the wording of the scripture to fit his perspective. This is not to say he is deliberately trying to deceive people, but he is deceiving them. WND has been so deceived.

Also in the article is mentioned how a star in the constellation Boötes sent out a large gamma ray burst in 2008. Some said it was a sign from God that Jesus was to return very soon. In my laborious search of the Bible I didn't find an exploding star as a sign of His return, but I will keep looking. Apparently, "gamma ray burst" is not in the KJV. 

I suggest we look to the Bible for proof of anything anyone says about God and His plan.


"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." ~John 5:39

"These [Bereans] were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." ~Acts 17:11

Due to popular (my mom's) request to clothe Boötes:

Are you a Natural Terrorist?

Yes, the government loves blonds.

You see, having a specific people group as terrorists in order to institute otherwise immoral and unethical security measures doesn't really work. You have to make the public think the suspects could be anyone. The issue of profiling need no longer be debated, as everyone is a terrorist.

Now, if you will recall, as I do, our government has been begging blond-haired, blue-eyed people to blow up U.S. infrastructure, and they finally have their first recruits. Why, they even have little names for them, "Jihad Jane" and "Jihad Jamie". Waiting on Khalid Ken, now.

From 2008:


How amazing! Two years later, they have just what they need to justify the reports! And I'm sure we can put full faith and trust in former black ops, al-CIAda spook Mike Baker; if you can't trust a CIA operative who joins Glenn Beck in saying 9/11 truthers are possibly in league with al-Qaeda, who can you trust?



I mean really.

The Fourth Branch of Government

President Obama, much aided by a media blackout on the subject, has signed an Executive Order, the documentation of which conspicuously bears no identifying number, which creates an entity known as "the Council".

The Council is made up of ten governors, appointed by the President, which shall meet with the intention to "... exchange views, information, or advice with the Secretary of Defense; the Secretary of Homeland Security; the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism; the Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement; the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Homeland Defense and Americas' Security Affairs; the Commander, United States Northern Command; the Chief, National Guard Bureau; the Commandant of the Coast Guard;" etc, etc,.

The ten Council members are to serve terms of two years, and may be reappointed to additional terms. No more than five of the members may be of the same political party, and the two co-chairs of the Council must be of different parties as well. No one is compensated for this service in the Council, except for travel expenses.

Now, what exactly do they discuss at these Council sessions?

"(A) Matters involving the National Guard of the various states; (B) homeland defense; (C) civil support; (D) synchronization and integration of State and Federal military activities in the United States; and (E) other matters of mutual interest pertaining to National Guard, homeland defense, and civil support activities."

The Council is also expected to write up a "charter" for this organization, officially declaring its creation and purpose.

This is basically the most unconstitutional piece of work since the PATRIOT Act, as it flauntingly violates Posse Commitatus, and possibly Article IV, Section I of the U.S. Constitution (if the proceedings of the meetings are not immediately disclosed to the several states); it also violates the inviolable separation of powers between federal and state authority.

As the exclusive members of this entity are the executive officers of individually sovereign states, meeting to discuss matters of federal and national importance places "the Council" in a position of wielding unprecedented powers and authority which are unmatched, unrivaled, and basically unchecked by the three, mutual branches of government, thus creating, unofficially, the fourth branch of U.S. government.

On Underwear Bombs and Airport Security: Cui Bono?

No mention of this little dandy in the media (emphasis added to quotations):

"A passenger who boarded Northwest Airlines Flight 253 in Amsterdam with attempted plane bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab says the would-be terrorist had no passport and was aided by a sharp-dressed man who claimed Mutallab was a Sudanese refugee, just one of a plethora of startling inconsistencies surrounding an incident that has led to ramped up security and increased levels of harassment in airports." ~Infowars.com

Yes, I'm ready to call this one an inside job. By whom? I don't know, you take a wild guess.

"I am grateful to the passengers and crew aboard Northwest Flight 253 who reacted quickly and heroically to an incident that could have had tragic results. The Department of Homeland Security immediately put additional screening measures into place- for all domestic and international flights- to ensure the continued safety of the traveling public. We are also working closely with federal, state and local law enforcement on additional security measures, as well as our international partners on enhanced security at airports and on flights." ~Janet Napolitano

Since Richard "the Shoe-Bomber" Reid brought us "sockfeet security" at airports, what will Umar "Flammable Underwear" Mutallab add to the TSA's constantly updated repertoire of screening devices? I'm sure it will involve those highly controversial yet oh-so necessary x-ray machines which allow airport security to view your naked body, thus violating your 4th Amendment right to be secure in your persons. No, nothing is sacred in the post-9/11 world, or had you forgotten?

Cui bono? Who stands to gain from this? You're all smart, every one of you; who do you think stands to gain from underwear attacks?

A hint: it's not Umar.

The War on Teddy Bears

From Infowars:

"The CPSC’s Resale Round-up initiative is targeting those of us who make toys, and other products, available to children they might consider to be toxic. We, according to CPSC chair-lady Inez Tenenbaum, '… are not only breaking the law, [we] are putting children’s lives at risk.'"

You know how civil servants often hand little teddy bears to children who were witness to fire or violent crime in an attempt to calm them? They sometimes say, "I need you to do something for me. I have this little bear here who doesn't have a name, could you name him for me and give him a home?" It gives the kids something to get their minds off of whatever may be troubling them.

Well, now Congress has reared its filthy head and decided to declare war on teddy bears via recall laws; the same ones that can slap you with up to fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) in fines for selling a toy at a garage sale that has been recalled due to high levels of lead or something. Seems some teddy bears have been dipping into the lead paint a bit too much for the government to allow them to be distributed to terrorized tots, and sweeping new regulations and guidelines are leading one Wisconsin police department to switch to handing out a passel of books to the frightened toddlers, instead of the death-dealing bears.

Mmm, books to calm a three year-old... brilliant! Why hasn't anyone else thought of that? Maybe have them read one of Orwell's classics? Some Dickens, mayhap?

So, get yourselves in the mindset, these evil bears (Ursidae Fuzzius Cuddliae) have been terrorizing children for far too long. They hate our way of life, and wish to impose their regime of fluffiness and cuddly oppression via radical jihad and hugs. Not all teddy bears are radical, however, as some are merely seeking the American dream. But we will uncover and prosecute the radicals, whether they are hiding in caves or are tenderly tucked under a pillow.

If they are willing to come to the negotiating table, we are waiting. We will extend a hand, if they are willing to unclench their furry fist.

To nations everywhere, I say, you are either with us, or you are with the teddy bears.

"Balloon Boy" Hoax

Can we say "poorly composed publicity stunt"?

If you hadn't heard, the kid was supposedly in a giant, runaway balloon in Colorado, getting much media attention as the rescue teams were out in force; he turned out to be in the attic of the garage, "hiding". Lots of photo shoots and interviews for the attention-driven family, eh?

Oh, Falcon, what a thrashing thou shalt receive for revealing thy father's deceit on live television!



Ooh, Falcon's not the only one squirming!

At the end, Wolf basically says, "You got our attention, you got what you want, thanks for pranking us."

The Czar-Mangled Banner

Ugly, but legal.

World Net Daily has posted on this story about these flags being sold on eBay, pondering the possible legal action for defacing the flag, but it is fruitless.

First off, the U.S. Flag Code is one of the few federal laws that really is a suggestion. There is no penalty for violations of the code, save for a few state or local ordinances, which usually include fines.

Here's the deal: if the people making these flags are manufacturing them themselves, instead of buying the flags and silk-screening Herr Obama's face on the canton, then there is no violation; if it don't have fifty stars, it ain't a U.S. flag, and is thus exempt from the restrictions of the code.

It's a whole other story if they are truly defacing U.S. flags, but like I said, the penalties would be subject to the local law enforcement's discretion.

The dimensions of the flag are also important. The flag pictured, I would hazard to guess, is about 3:5 and the U.S. flag is defined as being 10:19; that, too, is important.

What would it mean if one flew that flag upside-down, I wonder...

Noble Peace Prize

I suppose you've all heard the news!

I have been awarded the Noble Peace Prize for my efforts to end hunger in Antarctica. Since my "Meals without Seals" campaign began in 1999, there are now millions fewer hungry Antarctican children, who would otherwise be eating seal everyday of their lives.

I want to thank my parents and my dog, without whose efforts I could not have helped anyone.

I thank you all!



(Notice: Son3 didn't win anything, because he didn't actually give sealess meals to Antarctican children, as there are no children in Antarctica, just a few, adventurous scientists. There is also no such thing as a "Noble Peace Prize"; he made it up. Obama did nothing to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Not that I lend any credence to the Nobel Peace Prize. I think he should have gotten the Goober Peas Prize, because that sounds funnier.)

APF Draws More Criticism

The ever vigilant Tennessee Sons of Liberty has just posted some more resources on what is possibly the strangest hoax of the year.

When will the mainstream media pick up on this?

Here is a local news blurb about it, apparently showing that "officials" from American Police Force have already arrived, and are planning to stay in the town for a month:

(Note the license plate on the APF SUV appears to be a dealership plate, not a state plate.)

How far are the APF and the City of Hardin going to take this?

American Police Force: Montana Town to be Patrolled by Mercs?

According to local news, the town of Hardin, Montana, has been lacking prisoners for their contractor-built prison for two years; a fitting scenario for Sheriff Andy Taylor and Deputy Barney Fife of Mayberry, North Carolina, but not good enough for Two Rivers Authority, the contractor who built the jail. They have now signed with "American Police Force", a supposed mercenary company with "years of experience" in military and investigative fields, to patrol the streets of Hardin and fill their jail; in fact, the company claims the United States to be their number one client.

This has caused great concern with many, as who wants a mercenary group enforcing local laws?

In the news article above, however, there are some issues concerning the validity of the group. The company claims "years of experience" in their field, though their spokesman allegedly said the organization was incorporated in February of this year. The address of their supposed headquarters in Washington D.C. has no apparent connection with the group.

The vice-president of Two Rivers Authority says he doesn't see any cause for alarm in these inconsistencies, claiming to have personally spoken to the representatives of APF; the company is expected to be in Hardin next week to open 250 positions within the company. Fortunately, most of these postitions will be locally held.

An independent investigation on my part was hindered due to the company's websites "not existing", and the references to the company were few; perhaps a coinicidence, but who can know?

It is the consideration of all this evidence which leads to my opinion that the city of Hardin is probably being defrauded, and evil may befall the hapless citizens who will be put under the thumb of this unknown mercenary company.

Time will tell.

UPDATE: The American Police Force website is back up in part. After a brief inspection, I have determined that many of the images doctored to falsely show off their military might:

(Note the police badge on the red shield is blocked, as well as the word "POLICE" on the tag.)


(Note computer-generated image of helicopter.)

(The Serbian Coat of Arms is also prominently superimposed on many images on the website as their emblem.)

(This image is nothing more than a poorly modified version of the Russian Empire's Coat of Arms; note where the globe has been "cloned" out of the eagle's right talon.)

This is looking more and more to be a fraudulent company, which proudly declares to be able to form a "special forces battalion within 72 hours", yet also claims to "NOT" be a mercenary army.

Illegals Won't Get Coverage, Eh?

"President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.

'Even though I do not believe we can extend coverage to those who are here illegally, I also don't simply believe we can simply ignore the fact that our immigration system is broken,' Mr. Obama said Wednesday evening in a speech to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute. 'That's why I strongly support making sure folks who are here legally have access to affordable, quality health insurance under this plan, just like everybody else.'

Mr. Obama added, 'If anything, this debate underscores the necessity of passing comprehensive immigration reform and resolving the issue of 12 million undocumented people living and working in this country once and for all.'"

~Washington Times

So, when Obama was calling anyone who says illegals will be covered is a liar, and Joe Wilson shouted, "You lie!", the outrage over the latter statement was... astroturf? Apparently, because Obama is admittedly planning to legalize the illegals for the purpose of covering them under Obamacare.

Mr. President, you lie!

Outrage? Why? They're Just Showing Their True Colors

This is the flag that shall wave over the White House on September 20th.

If you don't recognize it, it is the flag of the People's Republic of China. You will note its color is red, which represents Communism. Communism and its offshoots are the exact opposite of Capitalism and the Free Market System. Simple politics; even a child of ten knows this.

The thought that this flag should fly over the White House is an outrage to some, but not to me. It is only right and fitting for a corporation to fly the flag of the country that owns it, and the United States federal government is no exception to that rule.

And why not? With the espousal by the administration of Communist views and policies, and the appointment of Communists to high offices, how shocking can our President's assent and concurrence to the flying of the Chinese flag be? Not to mention the fact that China owns a large portion of our debt, and their policy concerning the handling of that debt can either make or break the back of our economy.

China is among the hefty progenitors and employers of the White House's strongest held political ideology, which espouses the policies of totalitarianism, especially in the control of its population's growth, exposure, education, entertainment, politics, and nutrition; how can the Leader of the Free World reject a request from his political soul-mates to fly their Statist regime's flag?

I have no connection nor allegiance the White House, nor its occupants, nor its grounds; neither have I any to the the city which surrounds it, nor to its citizens, nor legislators.

I declare that the men occupying the houses of government in the District of Columbia do not represent my views or opinions, and are, in fact, illegitimately occupying said territory. They have all defied their oaths, and, indeed, hijacked the seats of government they hold. They are not held to the Constitution or any other law, by de facto, and have no legitimate claim to American government.

Nothing these hellions do can surprise me. They prove their intentions at every turn, showing themselves to be the oppressive tyrants we know they are. Flying this flag is just one more way they have shown their true colors. Why not openly declare their illegitimacy?

Go ahead, D.C., fly your flag. Make my day.

Sean Hannity's "Victory" List: NSA

In a list of items enumerating Sean Hannity's ideas for an ideal political party and its ideal candidate, under the heading, "To be the party of National security," was found the following clause, second in the list:

"...Fully support NSA, Patriot act, tough interrogations, keeping Gitmo open."

Hannity apparently "fully supports" the National Security Agency, whose reputation has been repeatedly besmirched by whistleblowers concerned with the agency's lack of self-control when it comes to respecting Americans' privacy.

Thomas Tamm is one of those whistleblowers. As a former lawyer in the Department of Justice's Office of Intelligence Policy and Review, he was inadevertantly placed in a position of supporting top secret, unconstitutional wiretapings and interceptions of private American's emails, or blowing the whistle on an admittedly "illegal project" within the federal government.

Tamm sided with the Constitution, and he literally sneaked around "like a spy" to get to a payphone in order to contact The New York Times with his information. Others came forward to confirm Tamm's story, and, more than a year afterwards, The New York Times finally ran the story. Tamm resigned in 2006, and his home has since been raided by the FBI, his family interrogated, and his personal property confiscated. The full account may be read at Newsweek.

So, Sean Hannity, who will not rule out a Presidential run in 2012, would like this to continue. Afterall, we are supposed to be afraid of those cavement in Afghanistan and Iraq, right?

Think he'd make a good President? More on this later.

Invisible Empire: A New Tool in the Information War

Found at Tennesee Sons of Liberty. Contains brief footage from Kennedy's assassination, so viewer discretion is advised.



A newcomer to the Information War, Invisible Empire, created by the same people that made Endgame and The Obama Deception, looks to be a very informational and interesting chronicling of our times and how we got here. This preview contains much of a speech by John Fitzgerald Kennedy, who was, I believe, our last true President.

In this Information War, there are many selfless men who have placed their lives and fortunes in harm's way to help our side win, which is the side of goodness and humanity; I feel there is no such thing as a "small part" in this InfoWar. These are the "InfoWarriors".

I am a Christian, and am not so much required as I am compelled by my Faith to warn and help direct my fellow Christians and fellow man toward Saving Knowledge. I am as incapable of saving as I am incapable of leading to that end, as I can merely help. Wretchedly as I do this, I try.

I would see a person as a miserable creature, lower than dust, if they did not grab a man by the arm who did not see the bus speeding down the road, or did not warn that family next door, who had no means of communication, that a tornado had just touched down nearby.

So, too, would I hold equally as miserable a creature that slapped the helping hand off of his arm, or laughed at the man that warned of imminent danger, who, not caring to save his own family, would rather not entertain such an "impossibility".

I make no career of warning the masses; perhaps I should, but I do not. I see well-versed men taking up that role, putting aside their daily lives and lessening their time with their families; being so wrapped-up in saving our nation that they hardly have a life left for themselves. I help these men disseminate information when I can, this blog being a tool of that, and I ask you to do the same.

There was a time, during our country's beginnings, when men would drop their plows and pocketbooks and sign up to fight for a season while their country was at war. Some signed on with the Regulars as a permanent arm of military might; had every man joined the Regulars, though, there wouldn't have been men left at home to create a cultivated, well-kept, plenteous country worth the fight.

I am no InfoWarrior; perhaps, though, I am an InfoMilitiaman.

Why not investigate what you do not know to be fact? Why, instead of saying, "There is no 'New World Order'," do you not look into it for yourself? Why, instead of listening to men on TV tell you to believe or not believe something because you should trust them, do you not question that trust and investigate their claims?

"These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." ~Acts 17:11

Curfews: The Tyranny of Twilight

"Seeking to curb violence after a spate of deadly summer shootings, Paterson officials are considering an unusual ordinance that would prevent people of all ages from gathering outside in public late at night. The measure could be the nation’s first citywide, non-emergency curfew to include adults, several experts said.

'We’re trying to think outside the box,' said Mayor Jose Torres. 'This was triggered predominantly by fear among city residents over the shootings that have been occurring this summer.'” ~Huffington Post

Possibly the most skulking kind of tyranny, the power to regulate the hours when a man may step outside his home is eerie and indicative of a greatly perverted government. This power of curfew is accepted in many towns and cities for children, as the lack of parents in this country leads to a "problem-reaction-solution" of government intervention. I remind our governments - local and otherwise - that it is not their duty to parent our children, nor their power to parent us.

The problem in Paterson, New Jersey, seems to be the rash of gang-related shootings, but New Jersey has some of the most ridiculous gun laws in this Union of States; how can there be so many shootings in such a "safe" society?

And now, these residents are possibly facing the "tyranny of twilight", as anyone found assembling with others outside at night will be punished, should this proposal go through. This is in blatant violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states Americans have the right to peaceably assemble. These are trying times, indeed.

"Those who suppress freedom always do so in the name of law and order."
~John V. Lindsay

Panem et Circenses: Why the People Won't Turn On the Water

"Sacramento, CA: Hundreds of California farmers, ranchers, loggers and truckers will join an estimated 50,000 people to protest the court-ordered shutoff of water to the state’s Central Valley farmland: All to protect a minnow."~Canada Free Press
Many farms and orchards are dying because of the water being shut off to lessen the endangerment of a fish. My main concern with this is that nobody cares to do anything about it. The best thing the locals have decided to do is to protest.

Hey, now that's workin' like a charm, isn't it?

We finally became so uninvolved and distant from reality that we will suffer such disgusting acts of tyranny and oppression as this, but only as long as we get our "panem et circenses" (Latin for "bread and circuses")?

"… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses." ~Juvenal (Roman poet)

As long as we get our preseason football games in HD, and McDonald's doesn't take so long with one's order as to warrant a 911 call, we can forget all about that whole "freedom" thing, right?

I am ashamed that the best thing they've thought to do about the water being shut off is to hold a "tea party".

Why isn't there anyone in that part of the country man enough to forcefully turn on the water? I don't even mean in an armed manner; just overwhelm by sheer force of numbers wherever the valve is that controls the water supply, and turn it on! Wars have been fought over lesser offenses!

Perhaps this country, as a whole, doesn't deserve freedom any more; after all, it is only a Republic for as long as we can keep it.

Article Bears Scars of Media Bias: Reuters and the Astronaut

"Bob Thirsk, who is two months into a planned six-month stay aboard the station, said he is mostly in awe when he looks out the window, particularly at the sliver of atmosphere wrapped around the planet.

'It's a very thin veil of atmosphere around the Earth that keeps us alive,' Thirsk said during an in-flight news conference. 'Most of the time when I look out the window I'm in awe. But there are some effects of the human destruction of the Earth as well.'

'This is probably just a perception, but I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting, the snow capping the mountains is less than it was 12 years ago when I saw it last time,' Thrisk said. 'That saddens me a little bit.' ~Reuters

The title of this news story is, "Earth bears scars of human destruction: astronaut", but one must read four entire paragraphs before you realize that this isn't a scientific discovery, nor an observation of a geologist, rather it is the "feeling" of a Canadian astronaut. That is, he's looking at the world through Global Warming-colored glasses.

Ah, but the agenda-riddled media changes, "...this is probably just a perception, but I just have a feeling...," to, "Earth bears scars of human destruction: astronaut".

The agenda is that the earth is melting, so they must capitalize on the misguided gut-feelings of an astronaut to promote this idea.

The fact is that the earth has been warmer in the past than it is today; the carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been higher than they are today; planets further from the sun than the earth are undergoing the same heating cycles; the sun goes through hot and cool cycles which correspond with temperatures on the earth; carbon dioxide is necessary to all life on earth, since all creatures exhale it, and plants convert it to oxygen; people use the "greenhouse effect" to grow bigger and better plants; warmer temperatures mean fewer crops destroyed by frost, and greater regions may grow crops that were previously prevented by the cold.

Global Warming would benefit mankind, it's just too bad the earth is cooling, eh?

Senate Halts Production of F-22 Raptors

F-22 Raptor

"WASHINGTON – The Senate voted Tuesday to halt production of the Air Force's missile-eluding F-22 Raptor fighter jets in a high-stakes, veto-laden showdown over President Barack Obama's efforts to shift defense spending to a next generation of smaller, single-engine F-35 Joint Strike Fighters." ~Associated Press

Okay, I have to say that this is about to drive me to insanity. The Raptor was the best fighter in the world, and it is now to be replaced by the inferior F-35 JSF. They dropped the Raptor because it was too much money for too much plane, but I think every drop of defense spending should be in strengthening our Navy and Air Force superiority. I believe we are spending too much time and money on "boots-on the ground" training and fighting, and not enough on first-response technology, such as the Raptor and Hornet fighter craft.

Cockpit of F-22 Raptor

Partially because I have a problem with a large, standing army, and partially because of the inefficiency of the same, I strongly disagree with lowering our air superiority standards in order to save funds for Obama's Socialist domestic policies.
