Truth And Common Sense

There are hundreds of articles about John Murtha.  Some are trying to find positive things to say about a mean, arrogant, corrupt, anti-troop, liar who did his level best to steal our money and force us into a system where we would never be free.  Here is my response at Hotair-

So you have to die to suddenly be forgiven?  He doesn’t deserve it. Death does not make him less corrupt, less wrong, less horrible a politician. It is sad he died the way he did, subject to the errors of government provided healthcare, but in a way it does drip of irony.

Here’s the question. If they killed him, can his family sue the government? Can anyone? Which is one reason why the universal healthcare he wanted to foist upon us was a bad idea.

Notice when he was crashing he didn’t go back to a government run facility, but to a private one.  A choice he would have taken from you.

Sorry, no sympathy. None for his family who spent that bad money for years without guilt and gained a comfortable living and life from it.

Here is one example;

Good he’s gone, maybe an opportunity to put a non-corrupt person in.

Hopefully, Pennsylvania will take this opportunity to do the right thing.   He’s just one more old grumpy corrupt politician no longer in our hair.

Once again my stomach turns and my primal urge to send nuclear missiles into the Middle East “just because” is barely resisted.   A Muslim father and grandfather beat and then buried a sixteen year old girl because she spoke to boys.  SPOKE TO BOYS!!  The police did nothing. And she was BURIED ALIVE!!!!!

Now I have an open question to ask Obama.  HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TALK TO BACKWATER, MIDDLE AGES LIVING, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY RETARDED PEOPLE LIKE THIS????    I ask you honestly.  Do you think they give a shit about us if they are willing to kill the children for religious slights.  And the country’s law enforcement just stands by?

Here is another question.  This time directed to the judge who ruled a Muslim girl in Florida should be returned to her Muslim family after converting to Christianity.  Do you think she’s safe now you freaking idiot!@!!?  Do you?  If Muslims, of any stripe, can kill their kids for nothing (and trust me, this is an evil that is solely owned by Islam) should we seriously consider anyone belonging to the religion as stable?  Especially if they do not speak out against this madness?

We have Iran with a leader who believes if he brings enough chaos a small child prophet will climb out of a well and rule the world.  Huh?? And Obama is the real crazy here, thinking he can deal with someone like that.   Crazy or just a narcissistic fool.

The only reason we are now aware of the centuries old retardation that is called Islam is because of modern technology.  They’ve been committing acts of war, piracy, rape, murder, theft, and war for centuries. They’ve been killing their own, enslaving their women for as long.  And for what? A man who claimed he was a prophet?  Or is it that the religion is attractive to men (and enslaved women) because it allows them to be respected as they act like animals?  (One of the dark secrets of some Islamic groups is their love of young boys and girls.)  It seems being “pure” is subjective.  What we are really dealing with is their dark desire to absolutely control their environment and the people around them.  We see it now because of modern communications.  We feel it know because of global travel.  There is no safe place now or a way to simply ignore them.

Do you often wonder why prisoners (mostly young black men who are already criminals) find Islam attractive?  It allows them to continue to be who they are; violent, short sighted, abusive, and willing to blame everyone but themselves for anything that has gone wrong in their lives.

I have hope for those in the Middle East where our soldiers are fighting.  Only because through our young men and women in the military they get to see that life can be better.  But in the end, I fear we’ll be able to do only one thing to control these people.  Use force.  In their religion, they get that.

My fifteen year old daughter asked me why anyone would let them sing.  They were awful.  As my wife said, “Sometimes you do retire and live off memories.”   They couldn’t move, sing, or show that much enthusiasm.  Why?  Of all the groups out there, the “Who?”

As we turned the volume off and left the room we discussed the possible good choices.  Here they are- you can add yours.

1. Toby Keith

2. Three doors down (Love me when I’m gone and Citizen Soldier with military videos??)

3.  Nickleback.  Rockstar, Far Away. etc.

4. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill- together.

5. Carrie Underwood.  (Leave the national athem to someone with a little more range.)

6.  Taylor Swift

7.  Michael Buble (Yes, he’s Glenn’s buddy, but watch his videos and listen to his work.  He’d woo them. Oh, he’s Canadian, but loves football.)

8.  Any number of established rock and pop bands who are under thirty (or forty) with top ten hits.

But we get the who?    Right the Who…

My dog sings better.

This is a good post.  The question comes down to do the political leaders of either party have the will and strength to tell us the bad news and be willing to take the penalty that will come with it.  We are a spoiled nation, full of welfare recipients, free program users, and people who think they have a “right” to a free ride.  (What was it that the Obama supporter said? “I don’t have to pay my mortgage or my gas anymore.” )

I fear the coming civil war when the checks quit coming, as do many professional politicians.  They promised everything in order to remain in power. Now that “everything” is coming due and they are retiring and leaving town.  The mess is someone else’s to clean up.

Shame on them.  I hope their time retired is as unpleasant as our lives are destined to become.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/beltway-confidential/White-House-Top-GOP-leaders-didnt-object-to-reading-Abdulmutallab-his-rights-83756337.html

What is truth?  For a while we could say with some certainty that truths were usually limited to science or math.   There are universal laws that cannot be disputed such as gravity and one plus one will always equal two.   Outside these areas truth can be a slippery thing and often it goes to the victors in any dispute, war or conquest.   Now, when it comes to politics, there is no truth outside the truth that is accepted by the public.  Knowing this is key because it allows leaders to play with the truth in order to manipulate the citizenry. For example, Obama claims the failed policies of the last eight years is the reason he has to spend money like a drunken sailor.  The statement on its face is so full of factual errors trying to pick it apart is a daunting task, but there are a number of people who are willing to accept it as fact and thus it is fact.

When the Christmas day bomber Abdulmutallab was captured, he was subject to a pre-Miranda interview, then for some reason, still unknown, he was Mirandized.  Since then Obama’s guys have been taking it in the shorts every day.  It’s not that they did something wrong in the sense that their policy now states that terrorists are criminals and all criminals caught inside the U.S. automatically get rights.  I know, crazy stuff, but that is liberals for you. The wrong part is that they have the policy in the first place.  In the past month they have bounced from “we got all we needed in the fifty minute interview”  to “we are going to work out a deal with his lawyers so he will cooperate and nothing will be lost” to “Bush did it too” to “he is now talking and we are getting great information”  to now “Waaahhh, we told the Republicans and they didn’t say it was a bad idea at the time!”  Here is the quote-

“BRENNAN: On Christmas night, I called a number of senior members of Congress. I spoke to Senators McConnell and Bond, I spoke to Representatives Boehner and Hoekstra. I explained to them that he was in FBI custody, that Mr. Abdulmutallab was in fact talking, that he was cooperating at that point. They knew that in FBI custody means that there’s a process that you follow, as far as Mirandizing and presenting him in front of a magistrate. None of those individuals raised any concerns with me at that point. They didn’t say, Is he going into military custody? Is he going to be Mirandized? They were very appreciative of the information. We told them we would keep them informed, and that’s what we did. So there’s been quite a bit of an outcry after the fact, where again, I’m just very concerned on behalf of the counterterrorism professionals throughout our government, that politicians continue to make this a political football and are using it for whatever political or partisan purposes.”

As we like to say in the law enforcement field- “Just shut up while you’re ahead.  If you keep this up, what started out as a confession to a theft will end up getting you convicted for murder!”   The problem with the Obama policy is it is a bad policy and it cannot be defended.   The way you know if you have a liberal by the short hairs is when they start complaining about the politics of something or how partisan you are.  Translated, it means “please get your knee out of my neck, you’re choking me.”

Does it matter that the Republicans got a courtesy call from Obama’s crew?  If you buy the premise that the Obama people had no real concept how detailed the plot was at the time they decided to stop talking to the kid, then how can they argue the Republicans should have made a more informed decision?

If the Obama administration claims it can handle any problem that comes along, how can they punt the issue to the Republicans, who are not in charge?  Either you are in charge or you’re not.  Decide.  If you are and you screw up, then man up.   The ability to take responsibility is also a weakness in the character of most liberals. The reason is that liberals, by their very mindset, can’t make mistakes because they are superior to the rest of us.   So screwing up is almost impossible in their minds.  They will push this around attempting to put it on someone else until either they run out of candidates or we all just move along and the mistake is cemented into the minds of the voters.  I think we have reached that point, but the liberals also believe they can sell a refrigerator to an Eskimo.  So they will try until they rub it raw, adding another layer to “why we dislike the liberal agenda.”

The Democratic party has gathered their supporters by promising the moon and paying off voters with social programs.  I course they all love the thought of socialism because in their minds it equates to free stuff.  Now the few democrats who have their own jobs and still want socialism are either rich, guilt ridden, or think that “socialism” will affect others but not themselves.

Yes, silly, but then again how else would you describe voters who would constantly return the likes of Pelosi, Reid, Frank and Dodd to office again and again?

The hope of the Democratic Party is to build a party filled with people who are dependent on the government, thus guaranteeing a return to power every cycle for people like Rangel and others. The Republicans were trying to do the same thing toward the end their majority.  In a sense they were trying to “out dem” the dems and failed miserably in doing so.  Hopefully they learned their lesson.

With the growing legal and illegal Hispanic population and the serious courting of that segment by both parties, I’m afraid we are going to see more and not less in payoffs and programs.  Not that we can take the hit, but doing the right thing seems to elude both parties.   So hang on.  This isn’t going to get any better until it breaks and we have to start all over.

The Iranian revolt would be farther along had GWB still been in the White House.  Frankly, it is my opinion this was his and his people’s goal all along.  Too bad it was set up beautifully only to have Obama piss all over it like a drunk frat member.

However, even without our support I think the people will win in the end.  It is a numbers game, and even though the regime is executing a large number, it is not nearly enough.  Now the local police are being fired and replaced with more violent and untrained “country people.”  As the author suggests this will backfire as the unemployed professional officer will be a prime recruit for the revolution’s Green Movement.

I hope so.  This is going to get bloody before it resolves itself.  So far, the military has been straddling the fence.  They go over to the Green side and Charlie Manson’s younger brother will need to put the haul a** on to get out of the country.  In addition, if the revolutionary guard is met with armed resistance it also cannot win.  Again it is a numbers game.  The Green movement has put out a video that tugs at heart and I’m sure has persuaded more than one soldier or police officer to stop their actions.  It is worth watching.

Pay attention to this and consider how brutal our government could get if we were unarmed.  It is a lesson our founding fathers took to heart and we should never forget.  Humans are humans and tyrants can rise from anywhere.

The military has always been one of the first places politicians use for social experiments and agendas.  First they insisted that women take more active roles in the military.  Then the obvious problem (obvious to anyone with an ounce of sense anyway) pops up.  There is a rise in women getting pregnant.  Unfortunately, some of those women are now holding key positions, so not only does the military lose a person, they lose a key person.  For years the military has been struggling to be politically correct and gender neutral while at the same time getting their primary goal accomplished, which is to kill people and break things.

To say it works at any level is a hat tip to the men and women in the forces who simply push past or through the silly political agendas foisted upon them by the politicians.   Now here we have the newest new idea, the morning after pill.   This is typical for the left.  They are having problems pushing this upon the citizenry, so they dump it on the military because it can’t say no.  Several years of this and the process will be “studied” and found to be a success, along the lines of climate change and deficit spending.

On the other hand, if you can stomach the whole abortion issue, the pill will provide women the opportunity to prevent pregnancies if they decide to have sex.  This will, of course, raise the incidents of sex between soldiers because they will feel they have a free option available to them.  (This seems to always happen.  Human nature.)  Here’s the interesting part. What if the military embraces this and makes it a mandatory procedure, like the old days when the soldiers had to line up and be checked for clap.  You have sex, you must go to the clinic and get the pill.  Failure to do so which results in a pregnancy can be considered a dereliction of duty since the pregnacy will reduce the effectiveness of the unit.

Just saying..

Do you wonder how politicians like Charlie Rangel can stay out of jail.  If this doesn’t prove the separation between the drones and the elites, nothing will.  These types of acts, along with many others, is exactly what caused the French citizenry to revolt centuries ago.  How in the world did we get to a place where a thin (or not so thin) layer of people run our lives and live above the law?  If they were sneaking around trying to hide it, I’d at least have some respect for the effort.  But to run around yelling “Look at me! Look at me stealing you blind! Nah nah nah nah nah!” is a bit much.

Here is Charlie Rangel’s answer to being investigated by fellow Democrats-

“And what did he do when the House Ethics Committee started looking into all of this? He apparently resorted to making “campaign contributions” to dig his way out of trouble. According to WCBS TV, a New York CBS affiliate: “The reigning member of Congress’ top tax committee is apparently ‘wrangling’ other politicos to get him out of his own financial and tax troubles…Since ethics probes began last year the 79-year-old congressman has given campaign donations to 119 members of Congress, including three of the five Democrats on the House Ethics Committee who are charged with investigating him.” Charlie Rangel should not be allowed to remain in Congress, let alone serve as Chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and he knows it. That’s why he felt the need to disburse campaign contributions to Ethics Committee members and other congressional colleagues.”

Now come on guys!  At least TRY to act like you are in the same nation as me and subject to the same rules.  Can you imagine if you were on trial and the it was found you were giving money to the judge, prosecutor and the jury?  Oh, that’s right, it IS against the law to bribe people.

Oh who cares.  In the end he’ll die of old age and we’ll be better for it.  Nothing personal, but anyone coming after him would have to take years before they could get to the level of corruption he has reached.

I have to say this- she is truly convinced she did nothing wrong.  Or she’s lying and she does want and need the job she has.  What she apparently misses here is that most of America, and a number of people in her state, really don’t like payoffs and corruption, even if they somehow benefit from it.  It’s called honor and ethics.  For those in D.C.  let me repeat. H-O-N-OR and E-T-H-I-C-S.

This is an example of the inability of long time politicians to follow even the simplest bouncing ball moment.  She should be the one to shut up about this, right after she apologized for being corrupt.  Too bad, there was a time when she looked like she had talent.
