On The Other Foot

The Colorado Air Quality Control Commission has been working for months now on a "Regional Haze Implementation Plan," that is designed to purify Colorado's air in regions outside the Denver belt.  It has focused it's attention on areas around Steamboat Springs so that the haze in the air around Rocky Mountain National Park will be diminished, and Colorado will appear to tourists to be more pristine.  However, this has placed a huge potential burden upon the residents of the Mountain counties and utilities firms.  Not only that, the act is probably illegal at best.

Now this wouldn't be so interesting, except for the fact that Weld and Larimer Counties were recently abandoned from lawmakers from around the state as they sought a fair-minded repeal of emissions testing for this region.  Mountain lawmakers and others basically told Senator Renfroe and others, "it's your problem, and you get air from the Denver area.  So you need to pay this...and keep us out of it."

Now the shoe is on the other foot.  When the enviro-wackoes decide to regulate the air not so close to Denver, it becomes an issue!  Hmmm.  So, why should we care?  Well, perhaps a bit of back-scratching needs to emerge here.  What if lawmakers from around the state started banding together under the banner of "leave my county air alone?"

It's almost amusing to watch some of these lawmakers run around wringing their hands, now that the issues Weld County has battled (such as having clean air, yet being forced to comply with unreasonable standards imposed by politicrats) is starting to spread further throughout Colorado.  This is yet another perfect example of how encroaching government and socialism works.  First, they take the cities, then the surrounding areas.  But those who think they can camp out in the wilderness and be left alone will ultimately be attacked as well.  Make no mistake.  We are beyond the line in the sand, and it's time to push back...against governmental control at every level.

So, legislators from around the state, unite for freedom for a change.  Create a veto-proof bill and step across the aisles to pass it.  It will send a message, and that in itself will enable Colorado to breathe free; free of haze acts, enviro-tests, and unreasonable control.  (Link here to associated article.)

Clueless

Republicans in Colorado positioned themselves to lose over the next four years this past weekend, as they elected Ryan Call as their new state party chairman.  The day was filled with political observations that would make liberals cheer.  Most of the Tea Party associates were agog over the fact that they now had a seat at the table, to the extent that they didn't realize they were being pulled toward the center by people who were much more experienced than they.  As for the hard-line conservatives, well, they didn't play well with each other.

Call was opposed by conservative Republican senator Ted Harvey, state party Vice Chair Leondray Gholston, and Matt Arnold of "Clear The Bench" noteriety.  Each of these three men had conservative claims, but each one felt he could do a better job than the others.  In the end, Harvey garned the greatest voting bloc of the three, but Call easily defeated him in the first round.  It was decisive, and a slap in the face to conservatives.  They are still so independent they fragment easily, and it shows.  In short, the progressives in the party won.

Ryan Call seems to be Dick Wadhams-lite.  He's an attorney, LDS in church affiliation, and knows the game.  He has ingratiated himself to many during the last election cycle, and it paid off.  Wadhams has departed, but yet another suspected liberal has arisen that prefers party over conservatism.  This may ensure grassroots candidates that aren't much different than their Demoncratic counterparts.  The Constitution Party will siphon off other conservatives, and the Libertarians are even suspicious of each other.  It's obvious.  Liberalism won this weekend unless Call makes an overt shift toward the right.  Sam doubts it is in his blood.  His ties to Wadhams are too close, and he seems to be drifting down the moderate river of sewage so many in Colorado enjoy drinking.

Where Is The Outrage?

Under Obama's reign troops remain in both Iraq and Afghanistan, and Gitmo remains open.  Now, Obama plays dictator besides, toying with regime change in both Egypt and Libya.  U.S. troops, money and technology are playing key roles in the Libyan civil war, and there are serious questions as to whether the U.S. should even be involved.  But that hasn't stopped Obama from committing our resources without consulting Congress or even many key leaders within his own political party.

So where is the outrage?  The leftists and liberals should be demonstrating in the streets!  If they really believed what they espoused back in 2007, they would be seriously angry with their own dictator-in-chief.  (Link here for a video clip of what he actually said about foreign conflicts.)  But their man is in power, and they don't care that he lies during campaign seasons, and then does whatever he wants during his reign.  He's their man.

Both sides of the political aisle do this, and we should get fed up with the hypocrisy.  When a $1.6 trillion dollar deficit is discussed and the so-called conservatives can only find $60 billion to cut, we should be angry and hold them accountable.  When Obama says that troops will be pulled out of Afganistan and he doesn't do it, we should be angry.  When a leader says he will consult congress before taking military action and he doesn't do it, we should be very angry!  And when $250 million per day is spent in Libya, we should be outraged.

This is hypocrisy in America, and it happens at every level of society.  Are you outraged yet, or are you just drinking party koolaid?

Precious Cargo

Thanks to a Greeley Report reader for this news tip.

Yesterday a truck left one Planned Parenthood site in Denver carrying the bodies of approximately 230 aborted babies.  This particular site has a six foot fence, covered with black tarp, so it's difficult to see what happens.  But the truck was there, loading up the "fetuses" for transport.

So, where would these aborted babies be taken?  To a cemetery for proper burial?  To a crematory perhaps?  No.  They may be more valuable dead than they seemed to be while alive.  The truck pulled out of Planned Parenthood to take these children to an unnamed university, where they would be used for research.

Adolph Hitler would be so proud.  This happens on a regular basis, and is unreported by mainstream media.  It's too discomforting, and too much like Nazi Germany.  What happens in your neighborhood that you don't know?  Who will speak for these that cannot speak for themselves?  If it's the babies today, will it be the elderly or infirm tomorrow?  Think about it.

 

The Tyrants Won Yesterday

Colorado Republican Senator Scott Renfroe fought valiantly to repeal the unfair and unscientific air pollution tax that was imposed on every Weld and Larimer County resident last year.  The repeal bill died yesterday, killed by Demoncrats that were more interested in the money it would take from this area than the environment they claim to love.

The Demoncrats and enviro-worshippers talked about how air was a state-wide issue, but nobody volunteered to include their regions in the tested and increasingly-regulated region.  They were forced to acknowledge the fact that Weld County air quality is completely within acceptable standards.  So, why do they want us to comply?  They want our clean air to balance out Denver's dirty air (so they won't have to comply for awhile longer).

The Weld County Commissioners deserve a great deal of credit for continuing this fight as well.  However, liberal Demoncrat Jim Riesberg was on the other side, loving the environment, resisting a solid look at scientific documentation, and failing to endorse the repeal.  So, the overpriced, overfunded emissions center will now be open to tax and regulate your vehicle.

It is now up to county officials to proceed from here.  If they had the backbone the local sheriff, county clerk and commissioners could implement coordination rules that would force the state to ask permission for any operations within the county.  This would include the movement and placing of air-quality testing vehicles and other state apparatus.  The county could also nullify this bill and simply not enforce it.  If county officials decided to issue license tags without air quality testing it would force the challenge into the courts.

One thing is certain however.  This is a classic example of government preying on the people when no further regulation was needed.  Will there be an "air tea party," where unfair taxation is resisted?  Probably not.  The sheeple are still asleep, and bureaucrats love to have it that way.

Well Oiled Machine

We usually get the picture of an illegal immigrant portrayed ot us as someone that is needy, destitute, and simply trying to make a better life for themselves.  They want to come here, take our identities and jobs, avoid taxes, send their children to our schools (at our cost), go to our emergency rooms (at our cost), have anchor babies (again, at our cost), and live in this nation while still pledging allegiance elsewhere.  (Sorry.  I got a little carried away with the truth, there.)

But the arrest recently of 13 illegals in California tells a completely different story.  It seems these illegals were in a van with stolen government plates, all dressed in U.S. Marine uniforms provided to them by "coyotes."  They were trying to blend into the local landscape, but were caught by alert border patrol agents at a checkpoint.

The facts are these.  Our border leaks like a sieve, and both Mexico and the U.S. like it that way.  Illegals have well-developed paths to go in and out of the U.S. as they see fit.  They are not above using uniforms, license plates and whatever else means necessary because they have adopted a mindset that breaking the law is just fine as long as it achieves their end result (which is self-gratification).

How many of these people live in Greeley, crowd our schools, work our jobs, and occupy government housing locally?  Probably more than you want to know about.  But make no mistake.  They aren't the type of immigrant that benefits the nation or they would endeavor to come here legally.  Instead, they flout the laws of state and local government, and make you pay more in taxes, not less.  (Link to article here.)

With Stupid?

Don't say I didn't warn you.  Last year Greeley Report wrote about upcoming considerations for tighter building controls that included installation of sprinkler systems in new houses.  Now it's here.  This mandate began in January, 2011 and has now spawned an outcry from local builders.  This will be taken under further consideration tonight by the Greeley City Council, but the problem is this: it's already on the books.

Now older homes are not sprinkled, and the new ones must have the added cost and maintenance associated with the governmental controls.  This creates two tiers of home safety and makes for a field day among insurers and others that want more of your money.  The implications are enormous.  Still, City Council passed the measure last year, and nobody screamed out to stop them.

Most of the time government means well.  However, they think it is their job to take care of everything in our lives.  Remember those shirts with the big finger pointing to one side and the words "I'm with stupid" on the front (pointing to the person beside them)?  Well, the government is wearing the shirt.  Guess who "stupid" is?  It's you.  They think you don't have enough sense to protect, educate, govern, care for yourself, so they need to pass laws to force you into doing it.  Then we end up living in the cesspool of socialism and wonder how we got there.  It's easy.  WE let them do it to us, with the people we voted into power.

So now, here we are.  The law is in place.  And it will stay in place until you get fed up with government.  And don't think it won't affect you.  If your house is not sprinkled, you now own a second-class house.  Your homeowners insurance can now deem your house to be inferior because it is not within current code requirements.  And you will pay.  Unless you stand up.  As I said before, I told you so.  Is the government "with stupid?"  That's up to you to decide.

The Fox And The Hen House

Have you ever been to one of liberal Demoncrat Jim Riesberg's forums?  They are pathetic.  Grandpa Jim pretends to listen, while he purposely avoids hands raised by those he has come to know may confront his half-truths and lies.  He disdains conservatives, especially those in his district.  And he will not change his political stripes.  He is liberal through and through.

So when Grandpa Jim (who actually stated that you and I do not pay enough taxes) decided to host a tax cutting forum it was much like the fox guarding the hen house.  Riesberg heard from the usual cast of bleeding hearts, and his conclusions pretty much matched what he wanted folks to hear.  Basically it sounded like the mantra "we are doing all we know to do in government, but if we cut any more it will hurt the children."  Education was a big topic, but nobody on the conservative side brought up the facts about how educational excellence never rises when more money is thrown into the socialist system.

Sam was completely disgusted with the liberal dog and pony show.  If anybody tries to tell you that these forums are truly open, they are blind, stupid or socialist.  They are orchestrated with an end in mind.  Riesberg accomplished his objectives.  Did he hoodwink you in the process?

Fix It Or Leave It

Greeley has a great downtown area and there are those fighting to return it to a vibrant, eclectic state that will not only attract the locals, but others into the area.  However, it has fought repeatedly with urban blight, crime, and of course businesses that will not stay open when the traffic is not there.

Greeley Downtown issues are of course not the problem of downtown.  A great many of the issues are imported into downtown from the north and east of the region with gang violence, poor subdivisions, and lack of city impetus to deal with these issues.  (Just how many Greeley city council members live in that area again?)  Break-ins and petty theft are concerns for downtown traffic, and this is magnified by the encroaching immigrant population and traffic moving in along 8th Avenue between UNC and the downtown corridor.

Greeley can't have it both ways.  They either need to clean up the downtown act and impose a great deal of attention to a zone around downtown to clean it out of the drivel and rot that exists there, or they need to turn it over to the thugs and let them have it.  Yes, there are great businesses and attractions down there.  And yes, they are worthy of patronage.  But few want to venture down there after sundown.  Get a clue.  Fix the problems.  Then the area can start to grow.

Mexico Sues U.S.

Anastacio Hernandez died in a conflict with U.S. Border Patrol agents last May, that originated as he was being escorted back across the U.S./Mexico border near Tijuana.  A repeat offender, Hernandez had been living in the San Diego area for more than 20 years with Maria Puga and their 5 children (most likely anchor children).  He had a stolen U.S. identity, worked a stolen U.S. job, and was a known meth addict and problem in society.  Hernandez had been deported earlier in the same month after an arrest for a traffic violation, and had been caught trying to come back into the U.S. once again.

The U.S. Border patrol will not comment on pending litigation.  However, President Calderon of Mexico is more vocal, calling any act of violence against one of Mexico's citizens "a truly unacceptable violation."  Now Mexico has filed suit against the U.S. government for a wrongful death violation.

Sam has a couple ideas.  First, why don't we challenge Calderon to keep his nose in third-world Mexico and make a nation there that will be appetizing enough to keep her citizens south of the border.  Second, we should sue Mexico for every identity theft and every criminal currently in U.S. prisons.  It is reprehensible to think about what Mexico exports in this direction.  This ought to be more than fair.  Finally, the U.S. should cease sending any and all governmental and private U.S. dollars to Mexico.  They should last about...oh, two weeks.

The facts are these.  Hernandez may have been handled with excessive force.  That is not justified.  However, he was an illegal, a flight risk, a meth addict, and a repeat offender.  He had no business being in the U.S.  How many more are around us?  They need to understand the U.S. means business.  We have a right to defend our borders, and the world needs to take that more seriously.  Let the countersuits begin.

Of Dogs And Ponies

Tonight the District 6 administration will host yet another dog and pony show touting it's budget, so that they can push for more money in their coffers.  To District 6 they think in one of two ways.  Either give them more money so the district can be better, or leave things as they are (or cut money) and it will hurt the children.  Gasp!

This is the problem with bureacracy.  They think in dollars and have lost their sense.  When the private sector doesn't have dollars, they innovate.  They push solutions downward, cut out bureacracy, and let the people actually doing the jobs actually create ideas that often change the course of business.  Bureacracy doesn't work this way.  They only want more.

So if you go to one of these self-serving events (where they will explain why you aren't paying enough in taxes, so that they can control their base of power), be sure to listen.  It will be presented to you so that you will want to give out of your wallet, and force your fellow citizens to do the same.  That's the hook.  Watch out for the line and the sinker.  It's around there somewhere, too.

Game Changer

Colorado Republican Senator Greg Brophy has introduced a bill in Colorado that would make the state caucus results binding, instead of being used as somewhat of a straw poll.  The current process has been confusing to many because it is nonbinding.  And while opponents would argue that it removes the abilities of representative government at the lowest level, it could also change the face of campaigning in Colorado.

During the last election Republican Jane Norton fought hard to win the primaries.  However, when Ken Buck beat her handily in that realm she refocused and fought him until the August elections.  This gave Buck only a few months to truly focus on his Demoncratic opponent, and could have cost him the race.

The change could also bring more national attention to Colorado.  If the caucuses matter, it will draw presidential candidates into the region earlier, because Colorado will become leading indicator of voter sentiment.  Since Colorado is divided among Republicans, Demoncrats and Independents, it would also make for a much-discussed primary season around the nation.  Colorado could make a serious impact on candidates and policy over time.

This issue will undoubtedly be hotly debated from both sides.  So let the debates begin.  One thing is sure; those that want to be heard in the political process now have their opportunity.  Let's see if they get up off the couch and actually do something for a change.  That would be the real game changer in America.  We are still waiting to see what happens.

Fallout

The earthquake and resulting Tsunami in Japan has destroyed the largest economy in the Orient, and the fallout of that alone has yet to be determined.  Also under scrutiny is the potential for fallout from the troubled nuclear reactors that are in danger of a Chernobyl-style meltdown.  Currently we know that at least 16 members of a U.S. warship have been contaminated, and they were 100 miles away from the site.  So nuclear contamination is spreading.

According to a study published last December scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the California Air Resources Board tracked variations in the amount of lead transported across the Pacific over time.  They discovered that about a third of airborne lead particles in the San Francisco, California area originated in Asia, specifically coming from China and/or Japan.

If nuclear fallout were a reality, the disaster could touch the United States, particularly the West Coast.  However, it could also move inland.  The cloud would take perhaps 10 or more days to reach the mainland U.S., but it does bear watching.  Could Colorado be impacted?  Yes.  If you would like to monitor changing levels click here to investigate the radiation network website where levels are updated every three minutes.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.  This horrific event will definitely impact life around the world.  While the types of fallout are still not known, it definitely bears watching on several fronts.

One-Third Of The State Doesn't Pay Taxes

With the exception of revenues generated residually by military bases (such as the U.S. Air Force Academy and others), Federal land holdings in the state of Colorado generate little or no revenue for the state.  This property provides no property tax, no mineral or logging revenue, and is held by an authority that dictates to the state.  So, how much property in Colorado is actually held by the Feds?  Amazingly it's more than one-third of the state, at 36.6 percent (click here to view map and percentages of all 50 states).

The percentage of property held by the Feds is higher in the West than in the Eastern portion of the U.S.  But a few of the western states are taking action.  Last year the state of Utah passed laws to exercise eminent domain laws against the Federal government.  They need tax revenues themselves, and intend to wrangle with the Feds in court if necessary (link to article here).  Now the state of Montana is pursuing a similar course of action.  (Link to article here.)  Some are learning that government likes to take without giving, and always wants more.  Perhaps Colorado representatives should consider action of their own.  After all, one third of Colorado doesn't pay any tax.  And they tell us what to do.

Propaganda, Lies and Crap

Denis McDonough is Deputy National Security Advisor to President Barack Obama.  This past weekend, to coincide with hearings on radical Islam, he released a statement that included the following pack of lies:  "we know there are many different reasons why individuals—from many different faiths—succumb to terrorist ideologies.  And there is no one easy profile of a terrorist."

This is unbelievable!  If there are no easy profiles, then the CIA and FBI aren't doing their job.  Let's eliminate them immediately and save truckloads of money!  If there are profiles we don't want to admit however, that's a completely different story!

Who killed the military men in Germany a week ago?  A Muslim.  Who tried to blow up a Christmas celebration in Portland, Oregon in December?  A Muslim.  Who has perpetrated insurrection throughout the world, and has levelled repeated attacks of terror against the U.S. (including shootings in innocuous places like Salt Lake City, Utah, Ft. Hood, Texas, and Times Square, New York)?  You got it.  Muslims.

It's no wonder Senator King has been holding his hearings.  But when Obama banned terms like Islam, Jihad, and other Islamic-related terminology from National Security documents he signalled to the enemy which side he is on.  We can see it, and also know that there are many dedicated men and women in military and government that can as well.  It's too bad they are hindered by their oppressor-in-chief.  Show me the Catholic, Baptist or Unitarian terror cells, and then we can talk about his truth.

We won't even go into how he overtly lied about Thomas Jefferson and inserted a complete historic distortion into his document.  It would just make me madder.  (Link here to the lie from the White House.)

How Many Seats Were Lost?

Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler has an idea.  Why not take a look at voter rolls, and verify whether the voters are citizens?  Sounds good.  Yes?  Well, according to various demoncrats and others this is a bad, bad thing.

Gessler has identified upwards of 11,000 that are registered to vote that may be voting illegally.  Which races may be swayed by these figures?  Did these people vote for or against Ken Buck in his senatorial bid?  How about stinking Riesberg here in Greeley?  Was he put in over Boswell by illegal votes?  It seems like a cause that could change the face of Colorado politics.  No wonder the liberals are opposed.

Gessler is not the only one that is leading the charge in this area.  Representative Chris Holbert from Parker is also pushing legislation to investigate under the realm of the legislative body, but it's being opposed.  By whom?  You got it.  The liberals and demoncrats.  The pressure is on them to see whether they will truly uphold truth, justice and the American way.  It's doubtful.  But we appreciate the crusaders and conservatives that are exposing their hypocrisy.  And we also like the track they are taking in dealing with issues such as illegals and illegal voting.

Obamacare, Part...Whatever

Now that Obamacare has been ruled unconstitutional we don't have to worry about it any longer.  Right?  Wrong!  The Obama administration is still trying to slam dunk it's provisions on the states, and continue to push forward with all sorts of provisions, preparing for 2014.

With this in mind, a group of Colorado legislators introduced the HOPE act (Healthcare Opportunity & Patient Empowerment) in the House of Representatives earlier this month.  Basically this would give Colorado the opportunity to join a consortium of states that opposed the Federal mandates, and do its own, unique thing here in Colorado.  Statists love the bill, and socialists are bound to hate it.

The Federal government has too much power, and this is just one effort to reinstate government at the state level.  Let's see what the liberals and Hickenlooper do with this piece of legislation.  Are they pro freedom and local control, or are they socialists?  We will see.

Raid By Any Means Necessary

Pinnacol Assurance was established by Colorado state government to provide Workers Compensation insurance throughout Colorado.  It's a Government-run monopoly (which is another story), but it has been run as a private organization, and has been successful in it's business operations.

Last year the Demoncrats decided they wanted to raid Pinnacol as a cash cow, to use it's profits for their pet projects.  However, they were blocked by public outcry and the work of conservative Republicans in the House and Senate.  This year, the saga continues.

One of the Demoncrats that wanted to raid Pinnacol for his own use was Longmont Senator and Senate President Brandon Shaffer.  He "only" wanted to raid Pinnacol's reserves to the tune of $500 million and use it for his own projects.  Now he's trying an end-run to get his hands on the money, aided and abetted by Governor Hickenlooper.  How?  Pinnacol's board of directors is appointed.  And guess who appoints the board?  You got it.  The governor.  And who does the governor want to appoint?  Brandon Shaffer's chief of staff.

You can understand why the questioning got lively this past week when Republican Senators began a line of questioning that probed into this very issue.  How did the Senate Demoncrats respond?  They blocked the line of questioning completely.  The committee chair instructed Shaffer's chief of staff to refrain from answering the questions.  Period.  Case closed!

So the liberals and the Demoncrats can talk all they want about how they want openness, honesty, transparency, and the end of gamesmanship in political office.  But they are the first ones to play the games, manipulate the process, and try to get their hands on all the money for their purposes.  Yes, idiots will continue to vote for them, but as times become tougher it will become more obvious that they are either openly (or closet) sociaist in their desires.  Take the money from the masses and use it for what they want.  And the conservatives will also demonstrate that when government stays out of the way, business operates better.  Watch closely for more manipulative tactics from the Governor and the Senate.  They aren't as pro-business as they want you to think.

Hypocrite

In August, 2009 a pair of intruders attempted to break into the home of long-time demoncratic Senator R. C. Soles in South Carolina.  Soles shot one of the intruders and frightened the second into fleeing.  Both were arrested, and Soles went through the process of being investigated for his actions.  You see, South Carolina doesn't have the laws protecting citizens on their property like Colorado, nor do they have open and free carry laws.  Why?  Because of politicians like Soles.

Soles was a life-long opponent of gun rights.  He voted repeatedly to restrict the average citizen, and keep them from keeping and bearing arms.  Soles wanted to control people's rights, not make sure they were maintained.  So when he was caught with a firearm, defending his property, he became a victim of the very hypocritical mindset he espoused.  He could have called the police and waited for them to arrive, he could have fled his property out the back door, he could have used a taser, pepper spray, or a spare lawyer.  Instead, he used a gun.  So, he had to go through an entire grand jury process, endure questions he didn't want to answer, and his hypocrisy was exposed.

Now the handwriting is on the wall.  Soles announced last year that he, the longest lasting state senator in South Carolina history, would not run for reelection.  He is bolting for a well-paid retirement, and now spends his days crafting bills rewarding his cronies in the South Carolina statehouse.  Some of these bills are so horrible, even the demoncrats reject them.  But he still presses on.

You see, hypocrisy in one realm often fosters it in another.  So when Soles believes that only "certain people" can keep and bear arms, he also believes that only "certain people" should be handed government favors.  This is why some of the basic social questionnaires sent to candidates (e.g., second amendment stance, abortion, family/homeschooling/freedom of education rights, etc.) can tell you where a candidate stands in his or her approach in other areas.  Hypocrites like Soles have had their way long enough.  It's time to find people that are fiscally and socially honest, conservative, and represent all of the people and not just their cronies.  Soles will be gone, soon.  Let's hope we can unelect a few more like him in Colorado during the next election cycle.

If I Were A Liberal

It seems so-called conservatives are being accused of inciting hate, intolerance, and all sorts of evil behavior these days.  So dream with me for a moment of what might occur if Sam Hill and friends all became liberals.

If I were a liberal, I would pass a bond issue for District 6 and waste even more money than is wasted now.  After all, it's for the children.  And while we wouldn't see test scores or proficiency increase, we would feel better and have less guilt.

If I were a liberal I would make sure unions invaded every segment of society, especially goverment.  That way the endless cycle of government taking more taxes to pay off unions that buy and sell their votes would be perpetuated.

If I were a liberal, I would tell city and county officials to spend, spend, spend!  After all, we need parks, eco-green hyper-environmentalism, and police-enforcement of recycling.  But we must also have brand new, well-paved roads (and no gravel, please).  After all, there is a limit to our eco-friendly ways if it gets dust on our moped.  Even more of this spending could be lavished on the angry poor that are entitled to our hard-earned money, even though they did nothing to earn it.  They can be drug-lords, gang members, unwed whores, or lazy idiots.  It doesn't matter.  We are the unceasing money supply.  Remember?

If I were a liberal I would bring in people from other regions that hate our nation.  I would encourage companies to hire them so the wage scale remains as low as possible.  I would subsidize their lifestyles, and tolerate their diversity while they planned to destroy me and my way of life.  After all, life is all about living under someone elses thumb.

If I were a liberal I would talk about how I hate to see anyone killed while I murdered people every day.  But they would be in the womb, slaughtered under medical procedures so it would be nice, sterile and more palatable to the general populace.  After all, we wouldn't want to have to discuss the slaughter of millions in their real context.

If I were a liberal I would attack the character of anyone that disagreed with me.  After all, it would be difficult enough to frame my shoddy arguments, but as long as I demeaned character in others that would change the battle field and denigrate my opponent.  There's no use dealing with facts and truth, when you can just destroy someone instead.

And if I were a liberal I would wonder.  I would wonder where all of that prosperity, freedom, vibrance and moral character went.  After all, I was a parasite that preyed on the best conservatism, discipline, hard work and ethics had to offer.  I reaped the rewards while attacking that framework that gave me the liberty to be a liberal.  And when I got my way it led to depravity, enslavement and socialism.  But at least I would still be liberal.  After all, isn't that would matter most?

Muslim Soup

The greedy gluttons at Campbells (you know, the so-called family-friendly soup company) have sold their souls to attract and retain a certain margin of their business.  Campbells has introduced a line of "halal-certified products" that are compliant with Muslim codes.  It's yet another bow to the encroaching specter of sharia in North America.

Islam knows how and where to pressure corporations, cities and governments to see to it that their way of life is endorsed.  As we are seeing in Western Europe, the next step will be to have sharia and Islam enforced, and then imposed.  Islam is not a religion, but a complete way of life.  It clashes with the Judeo-Christian foundations of American society, and this is yet another corporate giant selecting where their moral direction heads.  It will soon come to a school lunch counter, workplace, and city near you.  Greeley, perhaps?  (Click here for story link.)

Put Me In Charge

On November 18, 2010 the Waco Herald ran an editorial that has since circulated via the internet.  It's good and merits reading.  Below is an excerpt of that piece.

"Put me in charge . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a job.

Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings, then get a job.

Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job and your own place. In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you.
