More Proof That "the one" Doesn't Know Nuthin'

This is scary and funny at the same time. Scary in the sense that we have such a confused, lost-at-sea knucklehead running Our Great Nation, and funny that everywhere he turns he makes another bonehead play. It's like the guy has no experience or something...

Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH) is becoming more and more vocal in his criticism of Hussein's economic policies, which basically amount to socialism in a shiny new package. I'm paraphrasing a bit here, but Sen. Gregg has said that following the latest budget proposal will put us on the fiscal path to "banana republic" status. Full article here.

What's funny about this is two-fold. First of all, I just think "banana republic" is a funny term. I picture a monkey in olive drab smoking a 5-cent cigar with a big, shiny, "El Presidente" bling hanging from his neck. Being a white guy from the suburbs, I hope I'm using "bling" in the proper context here. No, that's a lie. I could care less. But I digress.

The other funny thing is that Sen. Gregg was the guy Hussein had originally tabbed to be his commerce secretary. But Gregg withdrew his name from consideration. Probably after he saw that the prez had his budget proposal scrawled on a McDonald's napkin.

Know what else is funny? The article describes Nobama as a "left-leaning" Democrat. Left-leaning in the same way a capsized ship is "leaning" toward the water. Karl Marx had "left-leanings" as well. I would have expected something a little more on-target from FoxNews.

Good News & Bad News

Some news from both sides of the Gun Fence First, the bad: once again, the City of Chicago leads the way in violating citizens' rights. House Bill 1966 was amended last week to include a ban on semi-auto pistols, rifles, and shotguns, and .50 caliber rifles in targeted zip codes. The six targeted zip codes all fall within city limits. So, good luck if you get robbed, Chicagoans. Hope the fuzz shows up in time to identify your body, because God forbid you should actually have the ability to shoot back at the clown breaking in through your window. Thank the Good Lord I live in a home-rule community.

Pretty bad. But, we have two pieces of news from the happy side. HB 48, which would have required virtually all private handgun sales to be processed through a licensed firearm dealer, and HB 179, which was seeking to expand to a ridiculous level the mandatory gun storage laws, both were struck down this week. That is great news.

Thanks to all my fellow NRA members, who like me flooded their Representatives' offices with emails, postcards, and calls, to let the politicos know where the people stand. Visit the NRA-ILA website here.

Today's Final Thought

Blackhawks 3, Devils 2...

HAWKS WIN!!! HAWKS WIN!!! HAWKS WIN!!!

There. I feel better. A pleasant voyage to Night's Plutonian shore.

We need a law...

Driving my daughter back from her pitching lesson today, we passed by the funeral home across the street from our church. A service was in progress, the wake for a member of our church, an Army Sergeant who was killed in Afghanistan. I didn't know the man, but my heart went out to his family for their loss, and as I passed by I gave a nod and a silent thank you, grateful for the way he had given his life in defense of our freedom. Many people were there, military and civilian. I also noticed a group of Freedom Riders standing just outside the door. It made me angry.

Here's why: I certainly wasn't angry with the Freedom Riders. I think it's incredible that they devote their time and effort to the fallen, and God bless them all. What made me angry was the fact that they even had to be there.

Now, no one in my neck of the woods is stupid enough to protest a military funeral. Right or Left, that's something you just don't do, unless you want to be eating through a tube for the next month. So I'm sure the riders were just there for support. But why, in the name of Heaven, do they ever have to be anywhere to fend off protesters so a family can grieve in peace? What kind of ignorant, ungrateful son of a bitch would stand up to cast dispersions at someone who gave their very life to protect that right? I know, that seems a rhetorical question, but let's put aside logic for a second and think from the heart. Do these people just not realize that they can do the insensitive and dick-headed things they do because of the soldiers they mock? It's beyond me.

So, seeing as how Hussein wants a law to cover every aspect of our lives, I've got one for him:

Any person who protests or disrupts in any way a military funeral should be subject to a $25,000 fine and six months in jail.

Maybe that would give them the time to sort out right from wrong a little bit better.

God Bless all the men and women who put their lives on the line for my right to offer these opinions. They will never get anything but respect here.

Things That Make You Go...What the HELL?

Democrats like Hussein, Hillary, and the Pelosi-bitch spent 8 years blasting Bush for his unjust wars, "lies", and Hitler-like use of our armed forces, against threats that were either minor or non-existent.

My, how things change. Now Comrade Barry says that the U.S. must "disrupt, defeat, and dismantle" the terrorist networks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and whatever other Stuck-in-the-Tenth-Century-istan sets out the whack-job welcome mat. Wasn't too long ago the the Demo-Rats were caterwauling about being in Afghanistan in the first place.

I guess some of that intelligence wasn't so faulty after all.

Nobama: Enemy of Freedom

This is something I wrote a while ago on another site, but I wanted to share it here as well:

I hate BHO. Really, really can't stand the bastard. And bastard he is. Every day I search the web, looking for non-MSM outlets that will actually tell the truth about what's going on in our great nation. It's depressing as hell and getting worse.I never thought "W" was going to be a candidate for Mt. Rushmore, but I think he did a commendable job, in the face of the worst attack in our history and non-stop badmouthing from every leftist jackass on the street. He wasn't perfect, but if anyone can seriously look at what Barry Hussein has done in LESS THAN 100 DAYS and still think he's the one to right our ship, I've got a suggestion:

pull your head out of your ass, put down the bong, open the window, do whatever you have to do to get the light of God's glorious day into your head and WAKE THE HELL UP!!!

Don't like what I have to say? Stop reading. Think I'm a fascist asshole? Line forms to the left. Think I'm going to waste my bullets defending you when the shit hits the fan? Nope, so keep your head down.

Want to save your country? Like me, do you want to restore it to what it should be? Then get out, start talking, stop being afraid of the PC and Thought Police, and let's band together and take back our country street by street before BHO and his socialist wankers invite the Moors in through the front door and give them the keys to your house.

Vote. Argue. Protest. Spread the word. Spread The WORD, and the Judeo-Christian beliefs that made Western Civilization great. Buy guns, and learn how to use them. Be prepared to use them. Pray for guidance, because Hussein won't. Make the leftist idiots we run into every day back up their crap with FACTS, not sound bites (if this actually works, let me know).

Just a few things to ponder:

TARP funds now given by the hand of "the one" himself, and nobody else. If he doesn't sign the check, no dough for you, Charlie.

Nobama gets an award from a federation of black newspapers. No non-black press is allowed to cover the event. Mr. Change can't have Whitey getting all uppity and asking questions. But he's not racist. Honest.

B. Hussein once again broadcasts his "respect" for the brutal regime in Iran. "muslim is as muslim does". (lower case intentional)

BHO, through the Blair-Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act, and the GIVE Act, is actively seeking to disarm the free citizens of America and create his own BHO Youth Corps. Let's see, can I think of a few other leaders that have done this in the past...oh,yeah:

Adolf Hitler and Mao Tse Tung!

Hitler Youth, Red Guards, Obama Corps...all the same thing. (He'll never get my guns. Or my kids).

Hussein's AG thinks we're a "nation of cowards". Think he'd say that to a soldier's face?

Hussein's Homeland Security Secretary now refers to terrorism as "man-created disasters". And she does it with a straight face.

Barry's first planned overseas trip: Turkey. After snubbing the British Ambassador. That's his experience in foreign policy showing itself.

Hussein and the Pelosi-bitch like to accuse our border agents of "terrorizing Hispanics" and being "un-American". And they apparently haven't noticed that now the Hispanic drug cartels have more armed members than the standing Mexican Army.

Nobama hates Israel and the Jews. But why be concerned about the only power in that area of the world that DOESN'T want to blow us up? Let them eat knish.

Well, I could go on, but I might puke on my laptop if I do. But you get the point.

BTW, I'm sure there's good-hearted Democrats out there somewhere. I guess. Law of averages, right?

Stand Tall, Stand Free and Remember What It Means To Be An AMERICAN!

End Rant.

Gent Bent, Bobby!

Okay, so it's no secret where I stand on gun rights. I'm NRA to the core, teaching my children to be the same. Also a member of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, the NRA Second Amendment Task Force, and the Gun Owners of America. When I say "from my cold, dead hands" I'm not kidding, and you can bet they'll have to step over a large pile of bodies to get to my cold, dead hands.

Gun-banners in general irritate the hell out of me, but ol' Bobby sticks in my craw. His new bill, H.S. 45, really takes the cake. When you shovel aside all the bullshit, clear away the smoke and smash all the mirrors, which takes a while because the bill has no real substance, H.S. 45 provides for the outlawing of virtually every gun that isn't a pump-action shotgun. Handguns of all types, and almost every hunting rifle made will be illegal, as will the ammunition for said guns. Registration will be mandatory, even for guns people already own. Failure to comply with whatever rules the current AG (also a complete ass-hat) sees fit to tack on, results in heavy fines, federal offense convictions, and jail time.

All this, coming from an ex-Black Panther punk (you know, the ones who advocated violent overthrow of the US government and shot at unarmed fire-fighters during the Watts riots) with a weapons conviction on his record that has his nose so far up the ass of the Democratic machine in Chicago he can smell what they're eating before they swallow.

So, guns for "black power" are okay, but guns for law-abiding citizens are bad. And we can count on the criminals hanging on to their guns. So how does this make sense? Only Bobby knows.

The Sense That Children Make

I'm driving my son back from the doctor's yesterday, and after solving the vital problem of exactly where to get donuts, we pass a billboard with Hussein's goofy hopey-changey cheerio symbol on it.

My son is almost 8, and a pretty bright kid. He surprises me with his insights. So he asks me: "Dad, why don't we like Obama again?"

So I lay it out for him. "Because he is trying to ruin our country. He wants the government to run every one's life, he wants politicians and lobbyists to teach children instead of parents and churches, he wants to take away our guns and our freedoms, and he wants to give away people's hard-earned money to other people that don't think they should have to work. He wants to make us subject to his ideas instead of free citizens."

There's silence from the back seat, but I can hear the gears turning. Then, with the simple logic and honesty of a child, my son says, "Well, that's just stupid."

Sure is, boy.

What does that tell you?

I'm flipping through the paper this morning over breakfast, and after checking in on the important stuff, sports and the comics, I decide to gander through the front section. There's an article about Hussein's "virtual town forum", filled with all kinds of hopey-changey fiddle-faddle.

My first thought is: "virtual" town forum for a "virtual" prez. Makes sense to me. Another way he can control every aspect of a situation, and no one can get in to call him names or be mean to him or steal his lunch money or anything. Anyone else get the feeling that Barry got beaten up a lot as a kid? Well, maybe not. He seems more like one of those kids that throws rocks at your back then runs inside the house when you come after him. Anyway...

At the end of the article there is an interesting stat: one of the most popular questions asked, with a total of 2,139 of them, were questions concerning the legalization of marijuana. With the Pandora's Box of troubles that could be discussed, the Hemp Brigades have to lead the charge.

My question is: What does that tell you about Nobama's "grass"-roots support? No wonder he was able to bullshit his way to the White House: he had a bong party at the polls.

Not that I have anything in particular against bong parties. I've been to one or two but it was totally by accident. I always preferred to smoke my dope with a few select friends, not at parties. But once a wife and kids and responsibilities, and, well, a life, came over the horizon, I thought it better to put down the bong and let the haze clear. And call me old-fashioned, but I'm one of those people that think you should be casting votes with a clear head.

Baseball Anyone?

Had to lay down at least one positive vibe on my first day.

Who's ready for baseball? And I'm not talking about the big leagues; I mean the little leagues. Every year around February I dread the upcoming baseball/softball seasons, because at that point it's all hassle: getting forms filled out, hoping whatever band of monkeys controls the league has their act together, wondering who's coming back, getting practices scheduled and planned, new gloves, new spikes, new batting gloves...sometimes the list seems 5 times as long as it should be.

But then, you draft your team, you meet your players, get a few clinics under your belt, and the dread turns into another season of hope. It's a good feeling, even when the monkeys are trying to smoke the bananas instead of eating them.

I'll be honest, going into my 6th season of coaching softball, and 3rd of baseball, I think I'd rather watch a hard-played, mistake-filled, up-and-down little league game than the bigs any day.

But that's just me, and plenty of people will tell you I'm crazy. Ah, well. Get in line.

Karmic Strike

This was just too funny to pass up. I'm scanning one of the websites I regularly visit, when I run across a story that warms my heart to the core.

Seems a Taliban suicide bomber is about to shuffle off to his final reward, so he goes to say goodbye to his friends and in the process manages to detonate his vest, killing himself and six of his friends. Oops, sorry fellas.

That dude is going to have one lonely afterlife, because there is no way any of the virgins are going to have sex with such an incompetent twit. Serves the bastard right.

See the blurb here.

Ooh, nifty. My first link-type thingy. I must just enjoy this.

Welcome To My World

Hello, My Fellow Americans,

Trite opening? Maybe, but I mean it. I couldn't be prouder to be an American. I love this country, I'm lucky to live here, to raise my children here. I will always be indebted to those who have and who continue to serve Our Great Nation, to protect our freedoms, even for those who hold them in disdain.

Those that hold America in disdain is why I've decided to begin this blog. I can no longer sit idly by and watch as the socialists who now hold power in this country try to ruin everything that thousands of brave men and women have fought and died to protect. I do not plan to submit quietly to living in the nanny state our current president wants to create. No United Soviets of America for me.

I despise Barack Hussein Obama and everything he and his marxist stooges stand for.

This blog is pro-gun, pro-life, pro-Israel, pro-conservative. It is anti-Obama, anti- politically correct, anti-socialist, and unabashedly anti-Islam.

It won't all be politics, but a lot of it will be. The trash the MSM trowels out on a daily basis won't get much play here. I'm a member in good standing of the Right Wing Resistance, so be warned. I'm not pulling any punches here. I'll piss a lot of people off, and use foul language when I think it's necessary. Everyone may be entitled to their own opinion, but I'm entitled to tell you I think you're wrong if I disagree. I make "value judgements" right and left, because if we can't hold on to our values, what's left to hold on to?

Well, enough on that.

I'll be rambling on about whatever else fills my head on any given day. Sports, literature, music, event horizons, garden gnomes, my kids, my dog, my guns. I hope you'll enjoy it, or at least be moved to think. Hate me if you want: I won't lose a second of sleep.

I'll add more later, but right now I'm hungry, so I'm going to go eat dinner.

Molon Labe!
