Lib Trib Or Ramadan Rag?

Thanks to a reader for this news tip.

Over the weekend the Lib Trib carried four (yes, four!) articles about the lifestyles of the local Somali muslims and their difficulties with working during their feast days of Ramadan.  It was as though the bleeding hearts at the Trib were trying to set up a slam dunk of muslim values and ways of life on Northern Colorado under the pretext of "loving people and cultures."

Let's get this straight.  Americans are remarkably tolerant and accepting of other people and cultures.  However, there is a line that is drawn when the culture of America and the cultures of radical extremism collide.  One of those extreme cultures is Islam.  These people didn't have to come here, and they don't have to work here.  There are entire nations (such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia and Pakistan) who celebrate Ramadan and will accommodate their religious and personal views.

The reason these muslims choose to remain in the U.S. is because they want to proselyte and change America into an Islamic state.  They are co-opted by liberals and other people who stupidly think we have to accept everything in the name of tolerance.  Well, we don't.  What the Ramadan Rag is setting up is not acceptance of people and cultures, but the stage for racial and cultural strife and rioting in Greeley's streets.  Cancel your subscription.  Maybe the poor unwashed will support the Trib instead.

Lack Of News Is News

Have you noticed the glaring lack of news regarding our elected officials in the Tribune lately?  The state is facing millions of dollars in shortfalls, and they don't bother to get comments from grandpa Jim Riesburg or Scott Renfroe about the problem.  Obama is trying to slam dunk higher taxes on us through his "cap and trade" proposal, and Betsey Markey will cast a critical vote.  But the so-called news-hounds at the Trib can't seem to get any information to us about where she stands.  Instead, they offer us AP wire stories and nice little local stuff that has little significance.

Sam Hill want to know why Senator Renfroe and his colleagues were ignored when they wanted to cut the state budget beginning 2 years ago.  The liberals wanted to spend and Riesburg was one of the hogs at the trough.  Sam wants to know why the state has hired more than 500 workers this year alone, instead of cutting back....and Riesburg was there supporting the whole thing.  Sam wants to know if Markey is going to cast her vote in accordance with some of her liberal supporters (like the so called "friends of wildlife" group) that want to destroy oil development and with it the rest of the country.  If so, she has been bought off (which we already suspect based on her past record), and is not the independent thinker she has portrayed herself to be.  This, my friends, is news.  Funny.  You won't see much of it in the trib.  Go read the thrifty nickel instead.

Did You Bike To Work?

Yesterday was bike to work day.  Did you bike to work?  Several didn't.  Take for example the cement truck driver that was actually hauling materials to build something.  Or the rancher whose pickup was hauling fencing materials.  What about the produce driver who was putting food on your table.  Could they bike to work?  No.

In reality, liberals love symbolism more than substance.  Their hero, fat Al Gore, lives in a monstrous house and jets around the world in a huge plane, polluting the environment at a higher rate than you ever will.  But he's important.  Apparently they think you aren't.  So the little people are bikers, while the rich, smart and important liberals can get away with anything.  Yesterday was a hoax, a symbol of uniting you with mother earth.  Sam's solution to the problem?  Cut the regulations and drill.  That solution puts people to work and keeps America rolling.

National Spin and Communist News

Let's take a look at some of the recent policies and activities by impostor Obama and our national leaders.  Sam Hill has gathered this from various websites and threads and wishes to tip his hat to those who are keeping news and information free and in keeping with constitutional liberties!  The internet is the place to surf these days, not the major networks, as the world is quickly discovering.

• CBS will be hosting an Obama infomercial masquerading as a news session.  Avoid watching it.
• A detainee released from Guantanamo Bay has returned to the Middle East and has killed 4 Christian missionaries (but they aren't dangerous people...just a little misguided).
• Obama and the Democrats have given the United Nations more money to force abortions on women who do not want them.  Some of this money is going to China to help enforce their 1 child policies, and even allows the slaughter of children born and living outside the womb.  You are paying for this, thanks to Obama.
• Obama has used stronger language about the death of an abortion doctor than he has used about Iran.  Apparently his telepromptor hates extremist wackos, but likes Iran.
• Obama has also ignored or missed two deadlines that are challenging his right to be President, based on his lack of records.  His press secretary has referred to the fake one posted on the internet as being authentic.  The next round of court hearings begin mid-July.

But listen, folks.  Everything is well (sarcasm intended!).  Obama's appointees are more liberal and socialistic than any group in history.  They hate the American way of life.  And they want your money, your values and your guns.  Ammunition sales are still through the roof, too.  Watch the trends, watch what the establishment media says, and do what is best for your family, friends and freedoms.

Undocumented Thugs

The Denver news stations broke the story before the Tribune caught it.  Last night Sam learned that nine Hispanic thugs were nailed by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in Weld County.  They are all gang members, and three of them have green cards.  Now they are all in jail and set to be deported.

Sam is glad the gang activity is being disrupted in the area.  Don't bother with the sob stories about how some girlfriend with 3 children by one of these trash dumpsters is now losing her means of support.  Don't whine to Sam about how this creates racial tension.  And don't call them guest workers, undocumented workers, or god's children.  They are trash.  Lock them up, get them out, and throw a party for those who are trying to make Northern Colorado better.  If you side with them, perhaps you can go with them to help them build a better society....south of the border somewhere.

Nice Vacation

According to 9News and the Denver Post there were several Northern Colorado leaders at the taxpayer "vacation" or "business meeting" last week in Vail.  The 87th annual Colorado Municipal League Conference was attended by the Evans city manager (I believe it's Earl Smith).  Also in attendance was Sam Mamet, a city council member from Lafayette (and an officer of the League).  The Ft. Collins mayor, a city council member (not named), and nine (yes, nine) city staffers from the city attorney's office attended as well!  Sam suspects there were more people there from Northern Colorado, and encourages all outraged taxpayers to call your local city or town manager to find out who attended, what the costs were, and where the money came from.

Where Are They Now?

The Denver Post and 9News is reporting that various city leaders from Northern Colorado are spending time at a conference in Vail this week.  (See article here.)  Of course it's a "working" conference, complete with $150 hotel rooms, golf, and the food and fun of Vail.  Leaders from Evans and Lafayette are among those listed.

Why are your tax dollars paying for stuff like this when many of you can't even afford a vacation with your families this year?  Why can't they meet in a conference room in Ft. Collins, Loveland or Greeley?  Why pay chunks of tax dollars for expensive hotel rooms in an economy like we have today?  Sam understands the realm of corporate travel firsthand.  And he knows that at a time like this, it's inappropriate and wasteful at best; unethical at worst.  If these people were spending their own money it would be a different story.  Instead, they are spending yours.

Poor Fly

PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals) is sending the Obamunist a "Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher," so that he can trap and release his flies outside the White House instead of swatting and killing them!  They were upset that their messiah Obama killed a fly during a recent interview.  Yes, really!  Sam can't make this stuff up.  Stupid is going to seed.  I wonder what PETA would do around our local feedlots....or political gatherings!  We sure have a lot of fly attracting material being spread.

Blog Killer Laws Coming?

A new ruling in Britain allows anonymous bloggers to be exposed without reprisal.  (Click here for link to article.)  If the Obama administration and the liberal faction of the U.S. Supreme Court get their hands on this, it could silence a huge powerhouse of free speech in America.

You see, judges like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, nominee Sotomayor, David Souter and others believe the laws and decisions of other nations should have an impact on their rulings here in the U.S.  If this happens, it could kill valuable information that is currently available to you at no charge.

Sam Hill and other bloggers like to maintain the privacy of their identities.  Why?  Because we can get information to you that others want to cover up.  Sometimes it's private information about insider deals.  Sometimes it's in business, police work, back-room conversations in the capitol building and so forth.  We have connections, and our privacy guards ourselves, our families, and our contacts.  If bloggers are exposed, every informant the police, CIA, and journalists use should also be revealed.  This should also coincide with Obama revealing every hidden document about his life he has spent more than $1 million dollars to conceal from you, the American public.  If it's happening in Europe, you can bet someone is thinking about making it a law here.  Our constitutional rights are at stake.

Democrat?

Sam was wondering if he should look elsewhere the other day for his political involvement.  The whiny RINO's in the area are more than willing to give away every facet of conservative values except for those that control their money.  The independents usually sit around and don't get involved in the early stages of elections (and then complain when candidates they dislike are elected).  So, Sam decided to check out the Democrats.

The Weld County democrats had a little survey on their web site that said "You might be a democrat if..."  Below were several identifiers that supposedly make you a Democrat.  Sam decided to take the test.  Here's how he did.

You Might Be A Weld County Democrat If....

• you believe a quality PUBLIC education is the cornerstone of our democracy.  (Sam:  Nope.  In fact, most early schools in this constitutional republic were actually religious institutions run by pastors and other Christians.)

• you believe in clean air, clean water, and responsible land use.  (Sam:  At what price, and to trade in what personal rights to property and freedom as guaranteed by the constitution and natural law?)

• you value the contributions of ALL working people. (Sam:  As compared to what?  What's this?  Blah, blah, blah.)

• you believe every eligible voter should be allowed to vote, and that every vote is counted.  (Sam:  This sounds like an open portal to election fraud, illegals voting, and drinking coolaid while singing "we are the world.")

• you believe the government should be open, honest and fiscally (financially) responsible.  (Sam:  This made me laugh.  With Ritter as governor and Obama as impostor you have the....guts to put this out there?  What hypocrites!  Show me an Obama birthplace and a certificate of live birth.  Show me a governor who talks about his relationship with a certain woman in the secretary of state's office.  Show me a democratic senate that invites republicans to a "team building" exercise instead of excluding them.  And we haven't even begun to talk about the largest plunder of taxpayers in human history, run by Obama, Salazar, Markey and the rest of the mafia in D.C.  What a bunch of liars!  They have zero grounds to accuse independents and republicans here.)

• you think blankets, medicine and food are better diplomatic tools than land mines, smart bombs and nukes.  (Sam:  Nope.  Peace through strength, baby.)

• you believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people.  (Sam:  Yup.  As long as they are legal and will lay down their lives to defend the values of America instead of trying to make us look like Europe, Central or South America, or some globalist polyglot.)

• you believe our support for our troops does not end on the day of their discharge.  (Sam:  Yup.  But it starts by supporting them where they are sent.  It also demands we do not run wars with bureacracy but with soldiers who win by killing people and breaking things.)

• you believe our national security depends on our energy independence.  (Sam:  Yup.  Drill in Anwar.  Drill in the gulf.  Drill in Weld County.  Revoke the new 173 pages of regulations slammed dunked on the energy industry by Ritter and his cronies.  Build new refineries.  Develop green industry.  Coal, wind, solar, oil shale.  Do it all and do it now!)

Well, Sam doesn't think he will make a very good Democrat.  Apparently, some of the answers he gave wouldn't be appreciated even though they seem to fit.  Democrats seem to think we are a democracy instead of a constitutional republic.  Democrats don't understand the word fiscal, so they put "financial" in parenthesis beside it (probably because of public education).  Democrats seem to exclude issues like homosexual attacks on conservatives, the rights of the voiceless unborn, the need for lower taxes on individuals and businesses, and less restrictions, not more.  They ignore self-determination without union control, the right to keep and bear arms for every citizen without legislation blocking him or her, and true freedom to live your own life free of government control.  Hmmm.  That sounds a lot like the RINO's in the area.

Apparently Sam and his like-minded block of voters (which, by the way, is the largest in the nation and also this area) are still looking for true freedom-loving candidates.  He believes they will be there.  Wait and see.  If not, we will have two democratic candidates in the local elections.  One will be tagged with a "R," and one with a "D."  But there won't be a dime's worth of difference between them.

Greeley Hates Businesses

Sam Hill was talking with a local business owner today who is planning to move his business out of Greeley.  Most of his employees live in Greeley.  He has been here for several years.  But he plans to move to Loveland toward the end of the year.

He has found the climate in Loveland to be more friendly toward business.  Everything from zoning regulations to sign codes are adjusted to work with businesses instead of against them.  Fees can be waived and folks are more business friendly there, according to this business owner.  This is the third business Sam has spoken to that is considering a move out of Greeley.  (At least two are actively planning to leave by December.)

This is a bureaucratic problem in this area.  Greeley zoning, code enforcement, fee structuring and other incentives are rigid "for the sake of the community."  But it's killing the community.  If the bureaucrats aren't voted out, thrown out, and things restructured, Greeley will be more of a bedroom community to the surrounding cities than ever before.

Not Even In The Top Forty

Recently Obama said that the U.S. was a significant Muslim nation.  Sam forgets the exact words, but it was a bald-faced lie.  Recently Sam was challenged on this fact but he stands by it.  Assuming there are 8 million Muslims in the U.S., we would barely crack the top 40 nations in rank.  These figures are constantly stretched by CAIR (who Sam has personally dealt with), and they are usually used to make Islam sound more dominant in the U.S. than it really is.

Here's the truth.  The U.S. is a predominantly Christian nation with other religions falling significantly below that.  While we are tolerant of other religions (which includes a bunch of them), our roots are Judeo-Christian as well.  Obama lied, and the media protected him.  If you want the truth, read the Greeley Report.  If you want to keep drinking from the toilet, read the Trib instead.

Whose Fault Is It?

Sam Hill has been wondering about the state of affairs around Northern Colorado and the nation.  And he's been asking a few questions that need to be answered.

• If the government (state, local or federal) is spending all of this money, who voted these idiots into office?
• If the Federal Reserve is charging us interest to run government business that should be run at zero percent interest, aren't they the largest part of our economic problem?
• When somebody tells you that you should be tolerant, aren't they being intolerant of you?
• Why are we paying failing schools more money to teach our children multicultural crap and bilingual studies?  By the time they graduate they can't do as well in college as home schoolers who are trained by so-called "amateurs."  (This falls under the "who's the dummy now" category.)
• Why do government fees never come down?
• Why do people rely on churches, synagogues and temples to be charitable and give them handouts, yet they seldom attend or support them financially?
• Why do liberals hate guns, conservatives, facts and history, when they are supposed to be broad-minded and tolerant?  Could it be they are actually bigots, racists, and narrow-minded haters of mankind?
• Why do Americans hate history, when it actually points us to a time when our country worked well?  We could return to those values and ways of living, if we really wanted to be free, independent and successful.
• Why do we need to imitate the rest of the world?  They are failing.

Pay You, Or Pay Them?

Why is it right for District 6 administrators, staff and faculties to get a pay increase, when you deserve one more?  They have retirement through the state.  Do you?  They have pay increases brokered by unions.  Do you?  Their wages consistently increase.  Do yours by the same scale?  Probably not.

Nothing is taxed to life; only to death.  The taxes you pay go into other pockets.  If you are paying more at the pump, the grocery store, the appliance store and the restaurant, chances are your spending power has gone down in the past year.  You have had to cut back.  But the local cutthroats, liberals and socialists think that the schools, government welfare programs, and salaries of everyone linked to aspects of government need to increase.  So, they tax more.  They spend more.  And they continue to hire.  (Check with our senators and representatives to verify that fact; Sam Hill did.)  They don't get it.

You need to show up at city council meetings and demand that fees for services be dropped, as well as your property taxes.  You need to call your state legislator including socialist Grandpa Jim Riesburg (who never met a spending bill he didn't like).  Demand cutbacks instead of increases.  And demand they repeal regulations that are strangling progress (including the 170+ pages that Comrade Ritter slammed against the oil and gas industry this Spring here in Colorado).  Do you want money?  Jobs?  Stability for your family?  Then do something about it.  Or, keep looking to the hand of the all-knowing, all-powerful government.  Sure they will care for you....until they implode and chaos ensues.  It's closer than you think, and the liberals are driving the bus.  I would rather pay you, than pay them.  It's time for government to shrink at an alarming rate, and your wallet to benefit by comparison.

Mom, Pop, Shops And Taxes

The Lib Trib had a recent article that talked about the struggles of "mom and pop" shops in these economic times.  They listed several that had closed in the Greeley area.  However, they never, ever discussed the high cost of leases and taxes these businesses pay.  How sad.  Don's Hobbies paid over $5,000 per month for a lease.  Could they survive?  No!  With Obama raising taxes even more and giving it to people who are his cronies, it's an obvious conclusion.

Today the Lib Trib talked about how District 6 now wants to raise taxes so they can spend more money on their failing, socialist school district.  But they didn't correlate the connections between these two stories.  So, why are businesses going under?  Because socialism has a voracious appetite for money, and they think you and I and our small businesses (or large ones) can provide for them.  Read between the lines and understand.

Compromise, Capitulate, Cave-In

Sam Hill has been busy working, to pay taxes for illegals, welfare recipients and other deadbeats on top of providing for his family.  However, he has found time to participate in discussions recently with several of the RINO groups in the area.  And he continues to be amazed at what he hears.

Most of the discussions coming from Bill Jerke, Jim Eckersley (and spousal unit Tambor Williams) and their fellow cronies focus on protection money.  They will give ground to homosexuals, baby-killers, socialist-education groups, anti-gun idiots and others with differing social values.  But they want to protect their money.  Apparently it's sacred, while unborn children are not.  Oh, they may debate issues like spotted owls and water rights, but it all goes back to money in their pockets.

These people fail to remember the only time a "big tent" philosophy is successful is when you are at a circus (or being taken by a used car salesman).  They also forget the elephant leavings on the floor of the big tent that stink up the place.  In their posturing to win, they are already losing.  Why?  Because they fail to realize the social conservatives don't reside inside the tent.  They are outside, and the liberals are electing true radicals in the democrapic party.  They are selling themselves (and you) down the river.  The discussions at the Rio and the Harvest are animated, but more of the same.  Compromise gave Hitler his power in Europe; it's giving the liberals more than they deserve in the United States right now.

Lib Trib Likes Liars

When Obama, Ritter or some of the other libs make speeches the Lib Trib makes no attempt to correct or editorialize about the half truths.  But if Marilyn Musgrave, Scott Renfroe or any of the conservatives speak, they come out with guns blazing.  I thought journalism was a profession that sought out the truth.  I thought Bangert's boys lived lives of integrity.  (Note the sarcasm.)

Yesterday impostor-in-chief Obama lied to the world, when he called the U.S. a Muslim nation.  Instead of creating a fresh wave of truth and integrity, the local rag (e.g., the Tribune) says nothing.  The silence is deafening.  It takes a Canadian publication to speak the truth.  (Read here)  Is it any wonder the Trib is shrinking?  It's because it's stinking.  Rest in peace, Trib.  Your demise is looming.

Playing The Race Card

The Lib Trib got it wrong again.  First, the headline of their editorial about racist Sotomayor (Obama's nominee for Supreme Court) was grammatically incorrect.  How surprising.  Second, they had to commend the fact that races can now ascend up the ladder since the "messiah" is president-impostor.

Actually, the boldest move would have been to put an ultra-conservative white male on the bench.  This would be most appropriate since the liberals control the executive and legislative branches of government.  It would provide checks and balances, and it would be tolerant of those who are "not like Obama."

But that would have been racist.  It's not racist when a black, Asian, or Latin gains power; only whites.  What a bunch of crap.  The race card is still being pushed as a tool to force people to do stupid things.  Furthermore, the liberals don't want equality; they want total control.  That is their agenda.  Maybe it's time for the freedom-loving and conservatives to wake up and fight back.

Look Larger Than Local

For those of you that think Sam Hill is simply a poor hack and a stupid observer from the local district, click on this link.  Apparently there are those around the world who are seeing the same things.  Take Russia for example.  They know Marxism when they see it.

Shrinking Liberalism

Did anyone notice the item in the Monday Lib Trib?  It's shrinking again, and literally getting smaller!  Of course Mr. Bangert is telling us that it's due to operating expenses and this is just a sign of the changing times.  Actually, the Libs aren't supporting the Trib, and the conservatives are getting smarter.

Take a closer look at the Trib.  There are a few ads from some of the sucker businesses who still use that venue.  There is Associated Press news that is available from several websites for free.  You have sports news that is local (and obituaries), and then you have the liberally-controlled editorial section with Bangert, Peters, Zeke, and a few others.  There's actually very little local news, and that which is published has a liberal spin to it.  Even the dwindling religious and social sections are liberal.

So, Lib Trib, you haven't changed with the times.  You haven't discovered the truth yet.  And your readers are running away!  We know you don't tell the truth; you are activists for the socialist cause.  Greeley is a city with 100,000 residents and plenty of news to report.  Too bad you don't get it.  Sam Hill has seen newspapers in towns of 10,000 or less that are better than yours, and still flourishing.  Signs of the times?  Nope.  Signs of hypocrisy is more like it.

Defining The Right And The Wrong

Hello class.  Today we will define some words and see if you can give examples of how they are used in society.  These definitions are right out of the dictionary and are fair and impartial.  Ready?  Good.  Here's the first one.

Impostor - A fake.  A person who makes deceitful pretenses.  Examples of this would include Barack Obama who pledges transparency, but hides all of his personal records, and Bill Ritter who stonewalls the public while pretending to be a good old boy.

Illegal Alien - Illegal-prohibited by law or official or accepted rules.  Alien-A person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country.  Examples are everywhere.  Just look around your neighborhood.

RINO - a negolism created by Los Angeles conservative Celeste Greig.  It is considered a disparaging remark for a member of the Republican party whose political views or actions are perceived as insufficently conservative or otherwise outside of the party mainstream.  Examples include Bill Jerke, Tambor Williams, Jim Eckersley, Tom and Kay Norton, and others like them who want to give away as much conservatism as possible, just to bring social liberals into power.

Racism - the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races.  Examples include La Raza and Judge Sotomayor, just to name a few.

Socialism - A political theory advancing state ownership of industry.  Examples include GM, Chrysler, Citigroup, AIG, CNN, Hollywood and a list of others, in conjunction with Obama and members of both parties, coopted by the Federal Reserve.

Marxism - The economic and political theories of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels that hold that human actions and institutions are economically determined and that class struggle is needed to create historical change and that capitalism will ultimately be superseded by communism.  Examples include Barack Obama, Jeremiah Wright (another racist), and the entire liberal (and part of the conservative) sector of the United States political process.

Sharia - The code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed.  Examples of this way of life are invading and replacing the Judeo-Christian foundation that the U.S. was built upon.

Liberty - Immunity from arbitrary exercise of authority: political independence.  Liberty of opinion, liberty of worship, perfect liberty to think, or feel, or do just as one pleases.  At liberty to choose whatever occupation one wishes.  Personal freedom from servitude or confinement or oppression.  Examples of this include....hey wait!  Where are they?  Where did they go?  When did we lose them, and how do we get our liberty back?  This, class, is your homework for the rest of your lives.
