An open letter to the MLB players union

I am a rabid baseball fan, to say the least.

I absorbed this love at the knee of my maternal grandfather. My Daddy encouraged it.

One of my uncles was in the stands when Hank Aaron, also known in this household as The Only Man I'll Ever Love, broke Babe Ruth's home-run record.

I stood by the Braves all through my youth when they were regularly finishing last in the League; I soared to 14 straight Pennants and one World Series Championship with them. (And I am apparently in for another dry spell going forward.)

I watched George W. Bush throw out that first pitch at Yankee Stadium after September 11th with tears streaming down my cheeks and so much pride in my heart and such love for my country that I almost passed out in my own living room. American courage, defiance and pride were defined that evening on a baseball diamond, and there was no more perfect place for such a display.

I stayed with your spoiled asses when you went on strike; I defended your cheating asses through the Steroid Era.....but if you fuckers call a boycott on the All-Star game in Arizona because of the immigration law that was just passed, I am DONE with you.

More from the party of tolerance

Liberals like to go on and on about how tolerant they are, but much like the so-called religion of peace, there seems to be a little disconnect among the party faithful; FreedomWorks has captured a little of the tolerance they have experienced lately from the hard Left :

I need another way of saying "Are you fucking KIDDING me??!"

Cuz I know I am wearing it the hell out, but, seriously, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME???

The SWAT TEAM??????????????????????????????????






The President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA called in the SWAT TEAM on these women????





Probably just so Chrissy fucking Matthews can say the words "SWAT team called to TEA Party protest"





Okay, so.... let me get this straight...they can call out the mother-fucking SWAT TEAM on these people:





But not these??







THESE people get called violent or  racists or Nazis:







While these people get a pass.










Let's compare and contrast again, shall we?:








It is unconscionable to me that this sort of misrepresentation is allowed to stand. Members of Congress have been allowed to outright LIE that they were called the N-word, with no one in the media but Andrew Breitbart with the balls to call them out on it.


Oh, and this cow?



Her pick-axe and shovel against my purty new Glock? Bring it bitch. Bring it right on down.

Help Brin help Leah get her new heart




As you will read in Brin's post, Leah is a wee little Iraqi girl, and she also has Down's Syndrome, which puts her far down on the waiting list. While I understand why tough decisions like that have to be made,  it saddens me beyond belief, and it has put this sweet baby at the top of my own personal list.

Please help if you can! (FYI, you can adjust the amount up from a dollar; just increase the unit price)

Hellthcare gets scarier by the minute, otherwise known as Sarah Palin was right


Obama’s Budget Director: Powerful Rationing Panel Will Control Health Care Levels . . . “Advisory Board’s Proposals Take Effect Automatically”

Obama's credibility crisis

Hard on the heels of that shocking Pew Research Center survey finding that four out of five Americans don't trust government comes a blitz of new revelations about the Obama administration that amount to a full-fledged credibility crisis. The latest disclosures are especially damaging because they concern President Obama's possible misrepresentation of his relationships with former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and convicted felon Tony Rezko, his administration's misleading statements about Obamacare costs, and questions about improper manipulation of government-owned General Motors and the Securities and Exchange Commission.



The Blagojevich revelations were no less serious for being accidental. Blagojevich's defense attorneys filed a federal court motion to subpoena Obama concerning charges that the former governor tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat formerly occupied by the chief executive. Improper formatting of the heavily redacted public version of the motion contained evidence that Obama spoke to Blagojevich about the Senate appointment a week before telling White House reporters that he had not done so. The document also revealed that federal prosecutors are withholding from Blagojevich's attorneys documents describing what Obama told investigators about conversations with Rezko on the appointment or his financial ties to the Chicago developer who was one of his key fundraisers.



On Obamacare, the president and his appointees said repeatedly over the last year that it would reduce government health care spending. Yet now comes Kathleen Sebelius, Obama's Department of Health and Human Services secretary, confessing that "We don't know how much it's going to cost." Why is Sebelius only now saying this when her own department just made public a report obviously months in preparation that projected government health care costs overall will go up, not down? That same HHS report also said Obamacare's Medicare cuts could put 15 percent of all hospitals out of business, making treatment harder to get and more expensive, especially for seniors.



Finally, General Motors claimed in national advertisements this week that it repaid its Troubled Asset Relief Program loans, plus interest, five years early. But the TARP inspector general said GM used other TARP funds to repay its original TARP loans, so the ads were fundamentally dishonest. Recall here that White House adviser Carol Browner told GM and other automakers to "write nothing down" about their dealings last year with administration officials on fuel economy standards. So it seems entirely appropriate to ask if GM's repayment claims were "suggested" by somebody in the Obama White House. That would be the same White House that is also now suspected of improperly influencing the SEC to file fraud charges against Goldman Sachs just as Congress debates Obama's financial reform proposal. As the Obama administration will learn, plummeting public trust eats away at the fundamental credibility of government and undermines its ability to carry out even its most basic duties.

All I have to add is that all these things probably shouldn't be too surprising, coming as they do from a man who thinks that Arizona is violating people's civil rights by cracking down on illegal immigrants.

Boobquake!!!

Any other ladies participating today???

More health care fun

First of all, that CMS report was apparently given to HHS a week before the voting took place:

OFFICE POLITICS

The economic report released last week by Health and Human Services, which indicated that President Barack Obama’s health care "reform" law would actually increase the cost of health care and impose higher costs on consumers, had been submitted to the office of HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius more than a week before the Congressional votes on the bill, according to career HHS sources, who added that Sebelius’s staff refused to review the document before the vote was taken.

"The reason we were given was that they did not want to influence the vote," says an HHS source. "Which is actually the point of having a review like this, you would think." (Yea, I think.)

The analysis, performed by Medicare’s Office of the Actuary, which in the past has been identified as a "nonpolitical" office, set off alarm bells when submitted. "We know a copy was sent to the White House via their legislative affairs staff," says the HHS staffer, "and there were a number of meetings here almost right after the analysis was submitted to the secretary’s office. Everyone went into lockdown, and people here were too scared to go public with the report."

In the end, the report was released several weeks after the vote — the review by the secretary’s office reportedly took less than three days — and bore a note that the analysis was not the official position of the Obama administration…

We have to say that we are not surprised.

But we are still appalled.

This is not quite the ‘open government’ we were promised.



Secondly, despite the fact that we were told were were being raped with this for our own good (to "bend the cost curve down") Dems are now scurrying around like rats trying to get price controls on insurance rates:


When President Obama signed his health-care reform last month, he declared it will "lower costs for families and for businesses and for the federal government." So why, barely a month later, are Democrats scrambling to pass a new bill that would impose price controls on insurance?




In now-they-tell-us hearings on Tuesday, the Senate health committee debated a bill that would give states the power to reject premium increases that state regulators determine are "unreasonable." The White House proposed this just before the final Obama- Care scramble, but it couldn’t be included because it violated the procedural rules that Democrats abused to pass the bill.



Some 27 states currently have some form of rate review in the individual and small-business markets, but they generally don’t leverage it in a political way because insolvent insurers are expensive for states and bankruptcies limit consumer choices. One exception is Massachusetts: Governor Deval Patrick is now using this regulatory power to create de facto price controls and assail the state’s insurers as cover for the explosive costs resulting from the ObamaCare prototype the Bay State passed in 2006.



National Democrats now want the power to do the same across the country, because they know how unrealistic their cost-control claims really are. Democrats are petrified they’ll get the blame they deserve when insurance costs inevitably spike. So the purpose of this latest Senate bill is to have a pre-emptive political response on hand…



In Massachusetts, Mr. Patrick says his price-control sally will be followed by reviewing what doctors and hospitals charge—or in other words for price controls on the medical services that make up most health spending. ObamaCare will gradually move in the same direction.



Or maybe not so gradually, judging by the study released last last week by Richard Foster, the Obama Administration’s Medicare actuary. Mr. Foster predicts net national health spending will increase by about 1% annually above the status quo that is already estimated to be $4.7 trillion in 2019. This is one more rebuke to the White House fantasy that a new entitlement will lower health costs.



"Although several provisions would help to reduce health care cost growth, their impact would be more than offset through 2019 by the higher health expenditures resulting from the coverage expansions," Mr. Foster writes—and that’s assuming everything goes according to plan. He considers it "plausible and even probable" that prices in the private market will rise as greater demand due to subsidized coverage runs into the relatively fixed supply of doctors and hospitals.



Most of ObamaCare’s unrealistic "savings" come from cranking down the way Medicare calculates its price controls, and Mr. Foster writes that they’ll grow "more slowly than, and in a way that was unrelated to, the providers’ costs of furnishing services to beneficiaries." He expects that 15% of hospital budgets may be driven into deficits, thus "possibly jeopardizing access to care for beneficiaries." Isn’t reform grand?



The official who will preside over this fiscal trainwreck is Donald Berwick, the Harvard professor and chief of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement who the White House has nominated to run Medicare. Dr. Berwick explained in an interview last year that the British National Health Service has "developed very good and very disciplined, scientifically grounded, policy-connected models for the evaluation of medical treatments from which we ought to learn." He added that "The decision is not whether or not we will ration care—the decision is whether we will ration with our eyes open. And right now, we are doing it blindly."



In fact, the real choice with medical care, as with any good or service, is between rationing via politics and bureaucratic lines or via a competitive market and prices. As Democrats are showing by trying to pass a new insurance bill, they want all U.S. health care to function like price-controlled Medicare. Dr. Berwick’s job as the country’s largest purchaser of health care will be to find ways to offset the higher insurance and medical costs that ObamaCare’s subsidies and mandates will cause, which will inevitably mean political rationing of care.



In a 17-minute, 2,600-word answer to a question about tax increases in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this month, Mr. Obama mentioned that "what we’ve done is we’ve embedded in how Medicare reimburses, how Medicaid reimburses, all these ideas to actually reduce the costs of care." The embedding via price controls is already underway.



As usual, the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page gives us more news than is usually found on the front pages of most newspapers.



This piece actually explains in English the cryptic and probably purposefully confusing article that the Associated Press buried published yesterday.



In a nutshell, the Democrats now wants to give states the power to control how private insurance companies reimburse for medical treatments, just like how the federal government controls how and for what Medicare reimburses.



(And we have all seen how well that has worked out.)



The Democrats in Congress know that the results of this new power will be so ugly — rationing, in one form or another — that they want the states to take the political hit.



Why else would Congress give away a power they could have for themselves?




This is exactly what has happened to Medicare....Congress will only allow the doctors and hospitals to be compensated at a lesser rate; many doctors and hospitals have already begun to refuse new Medicare patients.


You cannot push 34 million people in to an industry, then turn around and tell them they can't adjust their prices.


The health care industry will have to hire an unimaginable amount of staff and purchase unfathomable amounts of supplies to accomodate the additional tens of  millions of people...things ranging from bandages right on up to MRI machines and plenty more millions of dollars worth of malpractice insurance, and the Dems expect them to do so without raising prices?


34 million people might mean they'll need a few more hospitals, ya think??? But Obama and Pelosi tell them they can't raise their rates? Is the money gonna come straight out of Obama's ass, or what?


What kind of fucking morons did those Kool-Aid drinking 52% elect, anyway?? Obviously neither Odumbo nor the Democratic members of this Congress nor the ignorant idiots who voted for him have the slightest understanding of business or economics, and apparently they don't possess even a modicum of basic math skills.

Apparently, Al Gore is not the only environmental hypocrite out there

Tom Brady and his wife (lover? baby mama? I am not real sure) who spend a fair amount of time lecturing everyone on being good stewards of the Earth...and she is some sort of fucking Green ambassador to the UN!...are building a 20,000 square foot trophy house in Brentwood.


http://www.bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20100425home_field_advantage_bradys_pigskin_palace_slammed/srvc=home&position=0


Now, don't get me wrong; I am all for people enjoying their money.

But much like Al Gore and The Edge, I find it rather hard to take the constant preaching about how we should all live as austerely as possible for the sake of Mother Earth, while they go off  and do shit like this. Much like all the private jets, hundreds of limos with one person in them, etc etc when all the world leaders meet up at those fucking Climate Change conferences, belching carbon at a rate higher than the entire country of Ethiopia.




Hell YEA, Tom, 20,000 square feet worth of house is a pretty damn bold statement indeed on just exactly how much you and the little woman care about the Earth.

Yet another case of   "for thee, but not for me,"  I suppose.

Kinda like the Obamas mowin' down on some ribs, greens, corn bread and sweet tea all weekend, while pushing Draconian anti-salt legislation, and constantly harping about obesity. 'Cuz I mean he WON, and all. He just makes the rules; he doesn't have to actually follow them like the peasants must.


Hat tip Jammie Wearin' Fool.

A more rational and less profane analysis of the CMS report

than what I posted a few days ago:

Hat tip: American Spectator, emphasis mine

In the rest of the 38-page report, actuary Richard Foster confirms many of the arguments conservatives have been making throughout the health care process. For instance:

-- By delaying the major spending provisions until 2014, Democrats hid the true 10-year cost of their legislation: “Because of these transition effects and the fact that most of the coverage provisions would be in effect for only 6 of the 10 years of the budget period, the cost estimates shown in this memorandum do not represent a full 10-year cost for the new legislation,” CMS says.

-- Medicare cuts are unlikely to materialize: The CMS report cautions that “it is important to note that the estimated savings shown in this memorandum for one category of Medicare provisions may be unrealistic.” The reason is that if the proposed cuts to payments to hospitals, nursing facilities, and home health agencies go into effect, “roughly 15 percent of Part A providers would become unprofitable within the 10-year projection period...” The only way to resolve this problem would be to prevent the cuts, which in turn would eat up some of the projected savings from the legislation.

-- You can’t double count the Medicare savings: While in theory Medicare Part A cuts would extend solvency of the program by 12 years, the actuary writes, “In practice the improved (Medicare hospital insurance) financing cannot be simultaneously used to finance other Federal outlays (such as the coverage expansions) and to extend the trust fund, despite the appearance of this result from the respective accounting conventions.”

-- The CLASS Act is a ponzi scheme: One of the most under-reported aspects of the new health care legislation was that it creates a smaller new entitlement within the massive entitlement – a program pushed by Ted Kennedy that would allow individuals to purchase long-term care insurance through the government. But the program begins collecting premiums before paying out benefits, making it produce surpluses in the early years that Democrats claimed as deficit savings. However, CMS notes that, “After 2015, as benefits are paid, the net savings from this program will decline; in 2025 and later, projected benefits exceed premium revenues, resulting in a net Federal costs in the longer term.”

The report goes on to say that the CLASS program is likely to be used by those with more health problems, meaning it faces “a significant risk of failure as a result of adverse selection of participants.”

Greatest play in the history of baseball

I had never seen this before, nor heard of it. Not sure how I missed it; I have been a rabid baseball fan since I was 5 years old, and I have also been accused of being rabidly patriotic, (guilty as charged, thankyouverymuch) so I am shocked that I was unaware of this!



I'm going to write Rick a letter this afternoon. I knew he was very involved with veterans, but I didn't realize the extent to which I owe him thanks. God bless you, Rick.

Another great quote about Arizona's tough new illegal immigration law:

“So just to be clear, it’s constitutional to penalize someone for not showing proof of health insurance but not request proof of citizenship?”



Hat tip: Gateway Pundit, which in turn lead me to Cold Fury, and this classic header:

"But…but…what if you don’t have a birth certificate, school records or employment history–you know, like the president?"

as well as some excellent commentary:

"If Arizona is now a Nazi “State of Hate”, then America is Nazi country.
That’s because the Arizona state identification requirement is a verbatim reproduction of the federal requirement. Indeed, it’s a Nazi world; almost all countries require me as an American to carry a passport or obtain a visa and produce it on demand. Some countries even require entry and exit permits. Others won’t even allow me in! Don’t they know who I am? Why–yes, yes they do–because they require i.d.!

And Mexico is one of the toughest. "


The point the Liberals seem to be missing here is that if the damn illegals don't get in to trouble, there will be no demand to see ID.

More great news about the Hellthcare that was shoved down our throats.

If you've got parents or grandparents who depend on Medicare, read it and weep:



The Obama administration’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued a new report with dire news for America’s seniors. Obamacare’s smoke and mirrors budgeting gimmickry has real world consequences that will cause more than seven million seniors to lose their current Medicare coverage and could force as many as 15% of hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies out of participation in the Medicare system altogether.



It gets real interesting about half way down page 18, if you care to read it.

In case you missed it in the video, total health care spending during the decade is estimated to surpass $35 trillion. TRILLION. (I must remind you all that the Demonrats were full of promises of how this would come in under a trillion dollars. Swore it.)

The Administration rushes to point out that the law will decrease the federal deficit by $143 billion over the 10-year period! Wow, spend 35 TRILLION to save 143 billion. Behold the OBAMA MATH!

Oh and they're so proud that 12 million previously uninsured people will now be covered!!! For the low, low price of 35 TRILLION DOLLARS!!! Not to mention they get to rob us of our individual freedom of choice! It's a win-win for them!!


Hat Tip: Hot Air, Gateway Pundit

This might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back

Congressman Jim Obertar (D-MN) wants to amend the Clean Water Act after almost 40 years by removing the word “navigable” when limiting federal jurisdiction. Stephen Hayes, Mara Liasson, Charles Krauthammer, and Bret Baier debate whether Oberstar’s measure would simply solidify current federal authority, or eliminate every last vestige of federalism and state sovereignty.



Because if they really think they can have control over the creek that runs down the back of my property, or the two ponds on it, they are going to have a revolution on their hands, and I sincerely doubt I am the only person who feels this way.

How is is that forcing me to buy health insurance

is not a violation of my rights, but Arizona wanting to secure its own border is??



"President Barack Obama criticized Arizona’s tough immigration bill as irresponsible Friday and said his administration is examining whether it would violate civil rights."

Lying fucking sacks of shit, every last gott-damned crooked Democratic

Congresslackey that voted for this abomination (obamanation?) of a Hellthcare bill:





There is so much to be pissed about, I don't even know where to start.

First of all, it's obvious as hell that they were lying about the cost. And even though I KNEW they were lying, it's nonetheless breath-takingly, gut-wrenchingly disgusting at how big of a lie they told. They had NO FUCKING IDEA how much it was going to cost.

A month after it has passed, and they are already 5 billion short, and it has hasn't even STARTED yet.

Secondly, this completely fucking clueless IDIOT is the one who will be IN CHARGE. She will have TOTAL control over every fucking decision your doctor makes, and she doesn't even grasp the simplest concept of how a small part of it is going to work, let alone that that particular portion is already 5 billion in the hole.

Thirdly, with regards to that portion, namely the High Risk Pool that EVERY state had....it goes to prove that there was absolutely no need for this bill at all.


So thanks one hell of a lot, to those 52% of you who voted for Obama, and all the shit that has come with it.

You're in great company:











But it's the Tea Partiers that the media demonizes.

Again, if you've got a few bucks, send some to any or all of these folks. Every bit helps; I don't think I've sent much more than 10 or 20 most of the time....it's cutting in to my perfume money, but my country is worth every penny I can spare.

Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism

Hat Tip: Booker Rising, emphasis mine.

This is no surprise to me, based on perosnal experience....and I also want to say that my Liberal friends are cheap tippers. Yea, you know who you are.

Also need to say that my Liberal Boston peep LOVES the Salvation Army bell ringers, and donates everytime she sees one, so she is the exception to this study!

*********************************************


In keeping with White House tradition, the president and vice president publicly released their returns on Thursday for national Tax Day. It turns out Republican George Bush opened his wallet substantially wider than Democrats Barack Obama and Joe Biden while residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

In 2009, the Barack and Michelle Obama donated 5.9 percent of their income to charity and Joe Biden gave away 1.4 percent of his. While in office, Bush routinely donated more than 10 percent of his income each year.

According to the Center for Philanthropy at Indiana University, more than two-thirds of American households donate to charity, with an average donation of $2,047, or 3 percent of income.

In his 2006 book, “Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism,” Syracuse University Professor Arthur Brooks analyzed charitable giving in the United States and found that conservatives were 30 percent more likely to give, even though liberal families averaged 6 percent higher household incomes. Brooks found that conservatives donate more time and give more blood, and concluded that religious participation was the single strongest predictor of generous behavior.

According to Stanford University’s Hoover Institute, religious people are 25 percent more likely to donate than non-religious people. Religious people are also 38 percent more likely to be conservative.

In 2007, the giving broke down on party lines like this:

Cheney: 5.5 %

Bush: 17.6%

McCain: 27 %

Obama: 5.6 %

Clinton 14.7 %

Biden: 0.3 %

Biden has a particularly stingy history — right before the 2008 election USA Today reported that the Bidens donated an average $369 a year over the past 10 years, 0.2 percent of their income for the decade.

Brooks looked at the states Bush won in 2004 and found that on average, their residents gave more to charity than the states that went for Kerry. What’s more:

Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average. In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.

Around the same time John Stossel did an unscientific experiment on 20/20 comparing how much a Salvation Army Bucket could collect in one day in San Francisco (the most liberal place in America according to The Daily Caller) vs. Sioux Falls, S.D. (the heart of a deeply red state). Stossel’s results?

Even though people in Sioux Falls make, on average, half as much money as people in San Francisco, and even though the San Francisco location was much busier — three times as many people were within reach of the bucket — by the end of the second day, the Sioux Falls bucket held twice as much money.

A New York Times op-ed titled, “Bleeding Heart Tightwads,” went even further than Brooks’s book:

A study by Google found an even greater disproportion: Average annual contributions reported by conservatives were almost double those of liberals.

Other research has reached similar conclusions. The “generosity index” from the Catalogue for Philanthropy typically finds that red states are the most likely to give to nonprofits, while Northeastern states are least likely to do so.

…. Come on liberals, redeem yourselves, and put your wallets where your hearts are.

Such results surprised Brooks himself:

When I started doing research on charity, I expected to find that political liberals — who, I believed, genuinely cared more about others than conservatives did — would turn out to be the most privately charitable people. So when my early findings led me to the opposite conclusion, I assumed I had made some sort of technical error. I re-ran analyses. I got new data. Nothing worked. In the end, I had no option but to change my views.

Rock on, Caribou Barbie!



From her Facebook entry:


Asked this week about his faltering efforts to advance the Middle East peace process, President Obama did something remarkable. In front of some 47 foreign leaders and hundreds of reporters from all over the world, President Obama said that “whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower.”


Whether we like it or not? Most Americans do like it. America’s military may be one of the greatest forces for good the world has ever seen, liberating countless millions from tyranny, slavery, and oppression over the last 234 years. As a dominant superpower, the United States has won wars hot and cold; our military has advanced the cause of freedom in Iraq and Afghanistan and kept authoritarian powers like Russia and China in check.


It is in America’s and the world’s interests for our country to remain a dominant military superpower, but under our great country’s new leadership that dominance seems to be slipping away. President Obama has ended production of the F-22, the most advanced fighter jet this country has ever built. He’s gutted our missile defense program by eliminating shield resources in strategic places including Alaska. And he’s ended the program to build a new generation of nuclear weapons that would have ensured the reliability of our nuclear deterrent well into the future. All this is in the context of the country’s unsustainable debt that could further limit defense spending. As one defense expert recently explained:


"The president is looking to eliminate the last vestiges of the Reagan-era buildup. Once the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are “ended” (not “won”), the arms control treaties signed, and defense budgets held at historic lows while social entitlements and debt service rise to near-European levels, the era of American superpower will have passed."


The truth is this: by his actions we see a president who seems to be much more comfortable with an American military that isn’t quite so dominant and who feels the need to apologize for America when he travels overseas. Could it be a lack of faith in American exceptionalism? The fact is that America and our allies are safer when we are a dominant military superpower – whether President Obama likes it or not.
– Sarah Palin

**************************************

It is completely obvious to me that this man is ashamed of our country, and will not rest until he has destroyed everything we stand for. The rich must be punished, our military strength must be weakened so we no longer are the dominant power in the world, and individual freedoms will be taken away to promote the collective.

A hero I didn't know about....

Today is the anniversary of the Virginia Tech shootings; one of the perfume blogs I follow (her husband is a prof at VT) mentioned this :

"Dr. Liviu Librescu, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, who at the age of 76 held the classroom door closed against gunfire, in order to give his students the opportunity to escape through the second story window. I am in awe of that sacrificial love in action. "

I am deeply humbled, and in awe as well; I'd like to share this link with you:

Thank you, Dr. Librescu.

Proud tea bagger here!

I love this video, which I have seen all over today, but I copied the code off of Vail Spot.


I have always embraced the term tea-bagger, because I love the irony of it. Every time the other side uses it against us, I giggle....cuz let's face it, who is on the recieving end of a tea bagger?







I am going to try and hit one of the Tea Parties tomorrow after work, either in Long Beach, or Irvine. The Tea Partiers are very active in Southern California.

Tell me again who the haters are?




And in New Orleans, several theories; radical Liberals, anti-Bobby Jindal types, or possibly union mother fuckers....highly unlikely any of the three groups are registered as Republicans:

http://joshuapundit.blogspot.com/2010/04/bad-moon-risin-in-new-orleans-jindal.html

At the Tea Party event in Nevada...I"m guessing the Tea Partiers are not egging their own bus, and that it's not Republicans going off on Breitbart:




About 5 miles up the road from me, in Garden Grove; I'm guessing these fuckers are NOT Tea Partiers, Republicans, or Independents. What's your guess?



And who apporves of this sort of behavior? :




Let us not forget last year's drama:

Somehow, I doubt these union pricks who beat the shit out of Ken Gladney are Republicans, either:



The guy who bit someone's finger off? ObamaCare supporter and over-all Kool-aid drinker fo' sho':

And let's never forget who is egging them all on:


SEIU's Plan to Exploit "Immigration Reform" to Further Socialist Agenda

If y'all are not reading New Zeal every day, you're missing out on some amazing (shocking, but amazing) things. Please book mark his blog, and check in every day. (Link to the right, on my blogroll)

From his post yesterday:

SEIU's Plan to Exploit "Immigration Reform" to Further Socialist Agenda
In Obama File 95, published in January, I exposed the SEIU's agenda behind the sweet-sounding "Immigration Reform". In June 2009, Executive Vice President of the mega-union, Eliseo Medina spoke of turning the millions of new citizens into progressive voters. A few days ago, on April 6, 2010, the KeyWiki Blog has the story on another of the SEIU's Executive Vice Presidents, Gerry Hudson. I have crossposted this below...

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is an highly influential organization.

http://keywiki.org/index.php/Democratic_Socialists_of_America


While only 6,000 strong, DSA has considerable strength in the labor movement, non profits, education and inside the Democratic Party. While Marxist based, DSA's innocuous sounding name, allows the organization to operate in ways and places that their allies in the the Communist Party USA cannot.

After using its clout to push through "healthcare reform" DSA is now using its influence in the giant union SEIU, to promote "immigration reform".

On April 6, 2010 at the McShain Lounge in McCarthy Hall Georgetown University, Washington, D.C. the DSA controlled Dissent magazine sponsored a seminar "Labor, the Left, and Progressives in the Obama Era", summed up as follows:

After the success of health care reform, what’s next on labor’s agenda? How can the labor movement grow and engage with a progressive movement that speaks to the Obama era? What is the role of younger workers, workers of color, and women? Is there a new “New Deal” on the horizon?
Panellists included:

Barbara Ehrenreich, a writer/activist and formr DSA co-chair.
Christopher Hayes, Washington editor of the the DSA infiltrated Nation magazine and former writer for the DSA dominated In These Times.
Gerry Hudson, executive vice-president of the SEIU. A long time DSA member.
Michael Kazin, co-editor of Dissent magazine and co-author of a history of American communism with DSA member Maurice Isserman. Kazin traveled to Cuba in 1970 to cut cane for Castro, with the infamous Venceremos Brigade.
Harold Meyerson, columnist for the Washington Post. A DSA vice chair.
Liz Shuler, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO
The seminar worked on ways to sell "immigration reform" to workers - a tough job, especially in a time of high unemployment.

SEIU leader and veteran of the Communist-led Black Radical Congress, Gerry Hudson, promoted the idea of manipulating anti-Latino immigrant black workers. This would be achieved by exploiting and stoking their fear of white "f**king rabidly racists". To Hudson it seems to be a legitimate tactic to promote anti white feeling among blacks, in order to get them to support immigrant Latinos.

Hudson cynically wants to ally black workers with Latinos against these white "f**king rabidly racist" workers.



But why, in a time of high unemployment, do DSA labor unionists want to legalize illegal immigrants and open US borders to still more low skilled labor competition? How is that in their members interest?

The answer is simple. The members' interests don't matter... it's about votes:





When they voted in November, they voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates.



Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up

So I think there’s two things that matter for the progressive community.

Number one, if we are to expand this electorate to win, the progressive community needs to solidly be on the side of immigrants, that we’ll expand and solidify the progressive coalition for the future…”
When you are in the middle of a fight for your life you will remember who was there with you. And immigrants count on progressives to be able to do that.
Number two.

We reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters. Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three?

If we have eight million new voters who care about …… and will be voting. We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle.
There you have the strategy. Fight for the illegal immigrants, grant them citizenship, then exploit their gratitude in the form of votes to create a “governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle…”
In other words, lock the Democrats, the unions and their socialist allies into power indefinitely. exploit millions of immigrant votes to defeat Republican candidates, turning conservatives into a permanent electoral minority.




Labor unions in Marxist hands become mere transmission belts for socialist policies. The looming “immigration reform” debate is a graphic example of how a small cadre of socialists can leverage labor power into altering the direction of the world’s most powerful country.

American workers and voters are being sold into state slavery by a handful of Marxist ideologues who have captured the levers of labor power.
American labor expelled communist from its ranks in the 1940s.
Recently retired AFL-CIO president and former SEIU leader John Sweeney – you guessed it, another DSA member, overturned the communist-ban in 1995, with predictable results.

US workers need to realize that, by pushing for so-called “immigration reform”, their socialist leaders in the labor movement and the Democratic Party are actively working to destroy the American way of life.

Can you imagine if some redneck tried to do this to the Dems?

The main reason I got so politically active this time is because Pelosi and Reid had the nerve to call people Nazi's who were protesting. All this will do is stir people up. And most sickening of all, pretty soon no one is going to believe anyone any more when it comes to charges of racism.

*************************************

New Hampshire Democrats are engaged in a statewide search for liberal activists willing to attend so-called tea parties on Thursday and carry signs expressing racist or fringe sentiments, a Democratic source with knowledge of the effort tells NowHampshire.com.

According to the source, who sought anonymity for fear of reprisals, the Dems’ last minute scramble reflects a growing obsession among party leaders that they need to discredit the tea party movement soon or it will overwhelm them come the November election.

Former Democratic State Party Chairman Kathy Sullivan is heading up the search, the source said. Sullivan has been calling and e-mailing liberal activists trying to get them to attend tea parties in different parts of the state and hold signs denying the authenticity of President Barack Obama’s birth certificate and make racially disparaging comments to reporters.
“This is Kathy’s [Sullivan] project,” the source told NowHampshire.com. “She is absolutely obsessed with painting the tea party people as racists.”
Similar “crash the tea party” efforts are taking place throughout the country on Tax Day.

If she pulls it off, this won’t be the first time Sullivan has endeavored to manufacture a racist controversy regarding the tea party movement. Last month Sullivan and other Democratic leaders attempted to portray a “white pride” rally in Concord held by a Massachusetts-based white supremacist organization as a tea party. Sullivan was forced to retract her bogus accusation.

Nor would this maneuver be a radical departure from other stunts the party has engaged in recently. Around Easter the Democrats sent someone dressed in a bunny costume to the Republican State Committee headquarters. The stunt was widely panned, though thinly covered, and some internet wags speculated Sullivan herself was inside the suit (see below and judge for yourself.)
Sullivan has also been making herself a bit of a nuisance in Manchester. She has been attending meetings of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen to glower at Mayor Ted Gatsas.

Soviet Plans for World War III

The Apologizer-in-Chief, as many of you may know, just signed another nuclear disarmament treaty with Russia. Remember that as you read the following, noting that Putin was very much involved in these plans, and that he is the real leader of Russia even now.

God knows I feel SO much safer now that Obambi is getting rid of all our nukes.

Copied entirely from Sweetness and Light , emphasis and italics are mine (I added a comment in as well)

New Research Sheds Light on Soviet Plans for World War III
By Matthias Schulz
04/09/2010

German historians are divided over the significance of a massive Communist-era bunker in the former East Germany. Was it to be used as a command post in the event of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe? Researchers now believe Europe was closer to the nuclear abyss than was previously believed…

The secret fortress was completed in 1979. Located in the middle of a heath, the installation consisted of six separate bunkers that cannot be seen from the air, spread over an area of 75 hectares (185 acres), and built with blast-resistant steel doors and decontamination showers…
Olaf Strahlendorff, who is the director of the Kossa Military Museum, steps out of a camouflage-painted hut to greet the visitors. "Hi," he says. "This is where the Russians planned to conduct World War III." …

In the event of military hostilities, 350 officers and non-commissioned officers, along with a complete telecommunications team of 250 specialists, could have reported for duty in this prison-like stronghold, where they would have commanded an army of millions as it headed toward Western Europe…

When a number of archives were opened after the end of the Cold War, the world learned that — if push came to shove — the Soviet army was prepared to take the West by surprise with a decisive attack. Europe stood closer to the nuclear abyss than many had thought.
It’s true that Eastern Bloc military planners always worked on the basis of the assumption that an act of "aggression" would come from NATO. Nevertheless, it would have been sufficient for the Soviets to discover compelling evidence of an impending attack for the General Staff to order a pre-emptive nuclear strike…

The Kremlin anticipated the heaviest fighting in Central Europe. The region has "outstanding economic importance and particularly large reserves of people," noted the former commander-in-chief of the Warsaw Pact, Andrei Grechko.

This prompted the communist alliance to keep a massive 100 divisions (roughly 2 million troops) on standby for the "Western theater of war." On the territory of the GDR alone, the Russians had 7,000 tanks, 6,500 armored personnel carriers, 700 aircraft and 31 nuclear warhead depots.

The moment the command was issued, everything was to go extremely rapidly:

* In the north, the Polish army was to press ahead and reach the Jutland Peninsula near Denmark within six days;

* The southwestern front (reinforced by Czech units) was to march towards the southern German state of Bavaria;

* It was up to the "Central Front," supported by Soviet Guard divisions, to break across the border at Helmstedt and advance on the Ruhr region and Lorraine in France.

During the first 90 minutes, this ground assault would have been accompanied by a hail of conventional and nuclear warheads aimed at thousands of predetermined targets.
NATO facilities, airfields, communications centers, government offices, power plants and traffic junctions as far as the Rhine River would have been reduced to ashes. Currently accessible campaign maps of the Warsaw Pact have red circles above Antwerp, Amsterdam, Bremen, Cuxhaven, Emden and Munich…


Then the tanks would have rolled out. "The attacking soldiers were supposed to reach the banks of the Rhine before any of them showed symptoms of radiation sickness," ( they were going to expose their own troops to this!) says Polish historian Pawel Piotrowski. The plan was then to relieve these radiation-contaminated troops with units of the "Second Strategic Squadron." NATO officials called this the "Polish-Soviet steamroller."

Such a colossal campaign would have required a war room — a nerve center to coordinate the various armies, air and ground forces, and missile brigades. But where was it located? …
Kossa. "Its geographical location alone would have made the bunker ideal for the major strike against Western Europe," says Strahlendorff. Furthermore, NATO had never discovered the facility.

Another fact that supports this theory is that Kossa was practically jam-packed with communications electronics. The facility even had an AP 3 mainframe computer made by the East German computer manufacturer Robotron. Sophisticated video technology would have made it possible to send battle plans directly to the front…

On the other hand, they certainly didn’t intend to use the command post for very long. According to their plans, the Soviets aimed to reach the Rhine in seven days — and the Atlantic in 12 days…

We are not talking ancient history here. As the article note, this command center at Kossa was only completed in 1979.

(Indeed, Mr. Putin himself was head of the KGB branch in East Germany while these were still the standing orders of the day, if in fact, they have been subsequently changed.)

And, mind you, NATO never even knew that this vital headquarters even existed.

Just a few little details to keep in mind as we hear Mr. Obama celebrate his great nuclear disarmament treaty with the Soviets Russians.

A week late, but I loved it anyway!

I was raised in a very religious Fundamental Protestant household. I have let go of most of the dogma of the church I grew up in (I wear pants, cut my hair, play cards, and read books other than the Bible with no fear of going to hell!) but Easter never fails to move me somehow, and I was especially touched when I saw this on Gateway Pundit:






Russian Interfax reported, via Free Republic:

Fans greeted each other on Easter at a Sunday evening soccer match at Moscow Lokomotiv stadium.

At the beginning of the second half of the match thousands of fans of Dynamo team started chanting “Christ is Risen!”, an Interfax correspondent reports.

Thousands of fans of Lokomotiv teeam on the opposite side of the stadium responded by chanting “Truly He is Risen!”

The exchange took place several times.

The correspondent who has attended soccer matches for almost 50 years says it was the occurrence of this kind in the history of Russian soccer.

*********************

How sadly ironic that in Russia of all places we see a stadium full of young folks greeting each other on Easter, proclaiming en masse their joy in the Resurrection, while in the freaking UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, we have a president who mocks people for clinging to their religion.

The Polish horror

Not sure why this has shaken me so much; I am not Polish, and while any decent person would be saddened to hear of it, I keep tearing up all day thinking about it.

I think part of it is because I can so clearly remember the Lech Walesa days, and how hard they fought to throw off communism; I was still a teenager then, but old enough to start being interested in politics, and to realize what was going on outside my own little world.

The Poles seemed so feisty and defiant, had such a longing for freedom, and refused to knuckle down before the Soviets! I have never forgotten that, and have had a soft spot in my heart for the country ever since. My in laws are largely Polish, and I can tell you they most certainly know how to have a good time. My MIL and FIL are in their 80s, and they go polka dancing several times a week. (Honesty compels me to admit that my MIL is actually French Canadian, not Polish; French Canadians are no slouches in the partying department either.)

Anyway, someone at Hillbuzz posted the Polish Embassy phone number, and I gave them a call. I got a most gracious lady, who seemed genuinely touched by all the calls they are receiving. We both choked up a little.

So here's the number; I think they would love to hear from you! I pressed 8 for the Ambassador's extension:

(202) 234 3800


It sickened me when Obambi took away that Defense Shield to suck up to the Russians, though I gave him the benefit of the doubt at the time. Poland lost an even bigger shield yesterday...their President was everything I wish ours was; a staunch supporter of freedom, a believer in independence, and a man who loved America.

God bless Poland now, and especially til we get rid of the Marxist-in-Chief.

I have nothin' against Oprah, and even admire much

of what she as done and the good she has accomplished around the world, but seriously???

Another fucking terrorist trying to bring down a plane

Can't wait to hear what President Asshat has to say, let alone for the comments of whatever it is that is passing for the head of DHS these days.

Another candidate we all need to get behind

The kinfolk down in Broward have been telling me about Lt Colonel West for awhile; one of my cousins volunteers for his campaign. (Come on out and say hello, Dacia, don't be a-skeert of the Yankee, she's real nice!)



****************************************************
H/T Atlas SHrugs and Weasel Zippers!

Atlas Shrugs - George Bennett of the Palm Beach Post asked Lt Colonel Allen West (rousing applause) how he would respond to the smear, trash and chicanery from the Head coward of the Broward Democ-rat Party, Mitch Caesar. [His comments found HERE -ed]
[Here is West's response -ed]:

Yes George, here is my response. The history of the Democratic party is steeped in intimidation. It was the Democratic Party that started the KKK to enforce Jim Crow segregation laws. It was the Democratic party that instituted lynching and other means of violence to preclude blacks from enjoying the Constitutional rights the Republican party established in the 13-15th Amendments and the early Civil Rights Legislation during the Reconstruction Era through the 1960s.

It is the Democratic party which today promotes the intimidation tactics of ACORN, SEIU, Code Pink, Anarchist groups, and the New Black Panther Party. Mitch Ceasar is typical of liberal Democrats in seeking to create a smoking mirror when nothing exists. Caesar is a true representative of the politics of hypocrisy that infests the Democrat party.

The liberals of Broward County are evidencing their fear of the American people, and our campaign, and OUR voices will not be silenced.

If Nancy Pelosi's puppet Congressman Ron Klein will not face his constituents, then yes, he should remain in his gated community home.....and not continue with the charade of being a Representative of the people of Congressional District 22. This is not stoking any violent fringe, it is simply stating the fact that Congressman Ron Klein is a liberal Democrat coward. And Mitch Caesar lives in a world of delusion...perhaps he should focus on the culture of corruption that is the Broward Democrat Party, not this Congressional race.

George, tell Mitch to stop playing these petulant, immature games of petty character assassination politics, another Democrat trait, trying to fight for a weak Congressman. Let Klein stand on his own, I am. And yes, the clock is ticking, because on 2 November Ron Klein will indeed be former Congressman Ron Klein.

George, feel free to print this entire response as it is going out all across the blog world.
Steadfast and Loyal, LTC(R) Allen B West.....Candidate, US Congress Florida District 22

Watch out, Scott Brown, there's a new man in Mass

Common Sense Conservatism is on the rise in the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (Hope to God I spelled that right, not that what's-her-name bothered.)

This fine gentleman has all the answers, he is one of our nations' great warriors (Army since he was 18! ) and is the perfect antidote to the arrogant, ignorant, pathetic, Communist loving, Saul Alinsky teaching, capitalism-destroying Community Agitator who is currently disgracing the Oval Office at the moment.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Mr. Keith Johnson, and his awesome platform:

********************************************************************

Keith Johnson Candidate for President 2020
Today at 10:29am
Ladies and Gentleman,

I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the 2020 presidential election. Below is an outline of my agenda.

- Affirmative Action will be eliminated. AA was originally started as an attempt to advertise job postings in inner cities and to minorities. It was never intended to be a credential. The color of your skin is simply that - just a color. Equal opportunity stays, affirmative action is gone.

- United Negro College Fund will be eliminated. Join the armed forces like every white guy that can't pay for college.

- Any college or university that funds groups solely based on race, gender, political affiliation, or sexual preference will have all funding pulled. To fund our differences is to promote our differences.

- Military service requirement is mandatory for a minimum of three years. If you are unfit for military duty by reasons of insanity or mental incapacity, you will be institutionalized accordingly. If you are unfit physically, we'll fix that.

- Prison riots will no longer be stopped. In fact, they'll be encouraged. Oh, and I am moving all the guards to just outside the walls. See you at the fence at the end of your sentance and good luck.

- Persons who knowingly posses a sexually transmitted disease that have unprotected sex with another individual without acknolweding herpeghonasyphillaids will be charged with assault and battery, and in the case of AIDS, will be charged with attempted murder.

- Gang memebrs will be issued weapons and receive marksmanship training to better enable them to kill themselves, and I will give them the entire state of Vermont, which continues to serve no purpose.

- You do indeed have the freedom of speech and I will protect that, however, I will also put you on an airplane and send you to sovereign US soil in some God forsaken shit hole and let you speak there. Good luck.

- If you're old enough to die for your country you cannot consume alcohol unless you are actually WILLING to die for your country. For those posessing a DODAC or (CAC) your drinking age is 17. For those who do not know what that is, you're drinking age is 21 still.

- You cannot begin to test for your license until you are 18.

- You can retest for your license when you are 65, and every year thereafter.

- Military, Police, Fire and EMT's will no longer pay taxes, however, you will all still be required to pass a minimum physical fitness annually. If you fail, you're fired and you owe back taxes.

- The Mexican border will be mined and covered by indirect fire. Good luck.

- Ted Kennedy's body will be exhumed and placed on trial for murder. Vicki Kennedy will serve the sentance.

- Frivelous lawsuits will carry the automatic loss reciprocation penalty meaning if you sue McDonalds for hot coffee and lose, you are liable for the amount of damages you were seeking.

- Condoms will be available in dispensers in every high school for free, and the good shit, too. I am talking ribbed, studded, lamb skin, flavored, glow in the dark, etc. Everything. Morning after pills and birth control will also be available. There, I just saved $400 million in arguing fees and unwanted pregnancies. Conversation over...oh, and abortion stays legal but you get one and that's it. Go in for a second and your uterus and a tits get removed.

- Teachers must take every test they give and receive 100%. If they fail to do this, they're fired.

- The new speed limit is infinity. And it is allowed in the left lane only. If you cannot drive infinity, move over.

- Unemployment benefits will be cut from 79 weeks to 8 weeks. Go find a job, they're out there.

- Medical care is no longer free, it is going back to the way it was. Go get a better job. We have the best doctors in the world for a reason. Once that incetive is gone, well......

- All crime is hate crime. Nobody ever committed a crime by saying, "Jeez, you seem like such a lovely person. If it isn't too much of a bother, may I steal your car, wallet, etc?"

- Texas laws! You have the inherint right to self defense. Any person entering your property can be shot and killed if you follow the following rules of engagement; Step 1, shout in a loud manner "Get off my fucking property," Step 2, begin shooting.

- No government money, state or federal, will be given to any institution promoting religion of any sort. You think your God is that cool, you better pray for fucking electricity then. See how he does.

- If you purchase waterfront property, and you get water damage, no insurance money.

- The court system will change. If you are the family member of a victim, you will do the sentancing as you see fit. The judge will determine whether or not the defendant is guilty.

- You can test for a legal impairment level. A .08 feels very different to me at 210 pounds than it does to a high school cheerleader. Of course if this were my high school, most of those cheerleaders were pushing 210, too.

- Welfare and public money (unemployment etc) comes with public service. Your ass will show up a few hours a day and pick up trash on the side of the highway or clean bed pans at a hospital. Wash a police car or a fire truck, earn your keep.

- I will propose a new nuclear weapon disposal system. It starts in Afghanistan. This "civilization" has made no progress in 2000 years. What's the point?

- I am undoing all of our apolgies over the last 5 months. This means you France.

- Any "ally" of ours selling weapons to our enemies will be dealt with as an enemy of ours. This means you France.

- The elctoral college is gone. Pure votes only.

- Congress gets the same time off as our military, 2.5 days a month. That's it. And no more private transportation, get on a fucking Blue Bird bus.

- Everybody who is an American Citizen will continue to have the right to vote, however, you must pass the American Citizenship test. Thinking back to the sound bite from the last election, "This is great. I helped him out now he's going to help me out. I won't have to pay for my house, my car, my gas." Obviously this person, is indeed, toooooo stupid to vote. Yes, these people do exist.

- People who burn the flag in protest, are subject to having their house burned in protest. I mean after all, it's just a symbol of where you live, right?

- Love this country and all its' faults for better or worse, or get out. Remove your hat during the anthem. Thank your soldiers, airmen, marines and sailors. Thank their families and friends. Observe Memorial day, 4th of July, and Veteran's day with more than a cook out. These are the things that make you American. Because when I am elected, for every Mexican that sneaks in, I sneak one of you disrecpectful fucks out in my new exchange program. Thank you and I appreciate your vote.
