The Axis of Idiots

This blog brought to you today by my Aunt Colleen:

******

Too bad we don't have folks on Capitol Hill willing to speak out like this. J.D. Pendry is a retired Marine Sergeant Major who writes for Random House. He is eloquent, and as taught by the Marines, he seldom beats around the bush.

'The Axis of Idiots'
Jimmy Carter, you are the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home, and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-chief.
Bill Clinton, you played ring around the Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses to the USS Cole and the First Trade Center Bombing and Our Embassy Bombings emboldened the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately, they grew bolder, until 9/11/2001.
John Kerry, dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam . Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our military of terrorizing women and children in Iraq. You called Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time, the same words you used to describe Vietnam. You're a fake. You want to run from Iraq and abandon the Iraqis to murderers just as you did to the Vietnamese. Iraq, like Vietnam, is another war that you were for, before you were against it. John Murtha, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof and said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert! Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a good pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phony and a disgrace. Run away, John.
Dick Durbin, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot , who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned Southeast Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the
Iraqis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it?
Lord help us!

See Dick run.
Ted Kennedy, for days on end you held poster-sized pictures from Abu Ghraib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqi's torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news, Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrated another beheading for you. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated, drunken fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington
Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, Russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, the Hollywood Leftist morons, et al, ad nauseam: Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied, that the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers, that we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers - the same ones that tortured and mutilated American Soldiers - cause to think that we'll run away again, and all they have to do is hang on a little longer. It is inevitable that we, the infidels, will have to defeat the Islamic jihadists. Better to do it now on their turf, than later on ours after they have gained both strength and momentum.
American news media, the New York Times particularly: Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one united with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers.
You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer.
You are America's 'AXIS OF IDIOTS.' Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist-abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies.
Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questioning why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform.
You need to run away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.
Our country has two enemies:
Those who want to destroy us from the outside and those who attempt it from within.
Semper Fi,

Carrie Prejan's remarks

Carrie Prejan Miss California

STORY LINK

Okay,

I'm sure you've all heard the flap about this by now.

She has stated she thinks she lost the contest due to her remark:

"I think marriage should be between a man and a woman."

Wether or not she lost the contest because of that isn't my point.

We have a little something in this country called,

FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

The gay rights people and the ultra libs are going absolutely bonkers over this.

Where's the "tolerance" you guys are always harping on?

All she said was,

"I believe marriage should be between a man and a woman."

She didn't say all gay people will burn in hell, she didn't say lesbians should be drawn and quartered.

That's what she believes, if you think it's wrong then fine, if not fine too.

Whatever.

But these people that preach tolerance of other peoples morals, and ideals are always the first ones to jump on somebody when they don't believe what they believe.

It is so typical of the Obama, Pelosi, Clinton bunch.

It smacks of hypocrisy.

It's a joke.

For the record, I believe as Miss runner up USA does, marriage should be between a man and a woman.

You know, if anything she would've won the thing BECAUSE of what she said.

What is more american than Miss USA standing up for what she believes in, which also happens to be a basic right as an american:

FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

I was watching her on one of the talk shows this morning with Matt Lauer, (because that's what you do when you're unemployed, lol.)

and he seemed to me to be just completeley disgusted by her remarks.

He asked her, "If you knew you would win the crown, would you change your answer?"

She said,

"No, absolutely not"

Lauer said something to the fact of,

"Really?"

Like he couldn't believe she wouldn't give up her core beliefs to win the crown.

Unbelieveable.

My hats off to you Miss runner up, stick to your guns!!

This would be rerally funny if the winner has to relinquish her crown for some reason or another and the runner up ends up getting it.

I will laugh my ass off.

*******

Support the troops!

545 people

This an excellent piece from a guy named Charlie Reese who was a journalist for some 40 plus years.

It doesn't matter if you are a 'publican or democat.

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

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget.

The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations.

The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress.

In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.

They have no legal authority.

They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing.

I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.

The politician has the power to accept or reject it.

No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault.

They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.

What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.

The president can only propose a budget.

He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.

Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi.

She is the leader of the majority party.

She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.

If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility.

I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red.

If the Army & Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can accept or reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

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

I couldn't agree more with every single thing he says. Gotta love it.

Anyway, the shoe has finally fallen for me at Sprint, my last day will be March 27th.

I didn't survive the last layoff of 8,000 people.

Ah well...pretty good 5 year run with them...I will get severance until July 31st.

VALENTINE'S DAY

(sunset at Wakiki Beach, Hawaii)

yeah, I was there

***********

YES FOLKS I'M BACK!!

After a much needed rest from the blogging world, I have returned to wow you with my undeniable wit and charm!

A lot has happened since my last entry, a new president, super bowl, the bail out package. etc etc

But, since all that seems like ancient history now, lets start with the upcoming Valentines Day.

If you've ever wondered about the origins.....well......I'm here to fill you in.

So, here we go!!!

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

THE ORIGINS OF VALENTINES DAY;

In the third century, the Roman Empire was ruled by Emperor Claudius II Gothicus. He was nicknamed Claudius the Cruel because of his harsh leadership and his tendency for getting into wars and abusing his people. In fact, he was getting into so many wars during the third century that he was having a difficult time recruiting enough soldiers.
Claudius believed that recruitment for the army was down because Roman men did not want to leave their loves or families behind, so he canceled all marriages and engagements in Rome. Thousands of couples saw their hopes of matrimony dashed by the single act of a tyrant. And no one seemed interested in standing up to the emperor.
But a simple Christian priest named Valentine did come forward and stood up for love. He began to secretly marry soldiers before they went off to war, despite the emperor's orders. In 269 AD Emperor Claudius found out about the secret ceremonies. He had Valentine thrown into prison and deemed that he would be put to death.
As Valentine was awaiting execution, he fell in love with a blind girl, who happened to be the jailers daughter. On the eve of his execution, with no writing instruments available, Valentine is said to have written her a sonnet in ink that he squeezed from violets. Legend has it that his words made the blind woman see again. It was a brief romance because the next day Valentine was clubbed to death by Roman executioners.
St. Valentine gave his life so that young couples could be bonded together in holy matrimony. They may have killed the man, but not his spirit. Even centuries after his death, the story of Valentine's self-sacrificing commitment to love was legendary in Rome. Eventually he was granted Sainthood and the Catholic Church decided to create a feast in his honor. They picked February 14 as the day of celebration because of the ancient belief that birds (particularly lovebirds, but also owls and doves) began to mate on that very day.

And there you have it.

I know it's pretty fluffy for my first blog in awhile, but let not your heart be troubled, things will get spiced up in the coming weeks!!!

A SOLDIERS SILENT NIGHT

A Soldier's Silent Night

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD, THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY;
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER, WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA, IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."

When you wake up X-mas morning, and you have presents to get, and presents to give, and a good meal at grandma's to eat......

Please pray for our brave men and women in the armed forces doing what they do, so we can do what we do.

Have a good X-mas everybody.

U. S. S. A

Welcome to the UNITED SOCIALISTS STATES of AMERICA

Well folks I have been pretty quiet to this point, I wanted to see how far this country had been brainwashed.

Let me just say...wow.

Sometimes I think the age this age of technology we have reached is not so good. If we didn't have access to news 24/7 from everything from our phones to satelite radio in the car, maybe so many people wouldn't have been brainwashed by the media about Barrack Huessein Obama.

I actually heard a lady on Sean Hannity yesterday say, (and I quote) "I thought this day would never come, I won't have to worry about putting gas in my car or my house payment ever again."

Uh......okay.

See what I mean?

Brainwashed, by another Slick Willie and the media. Pie in the sky false hopes and promises.

That's how the extreme left in this country wins.

You'd think this wolf in sheeps clothing was the second coming for goodness sake.

Do you realize he is GOING TO TAKE MONEY FROM PEOPLE who educated themselves, worked hard and reached the american dream . He wants to take THEIR money and give it to other people who don't make as much money.

Of course wether or not he can get it done is another matter, but just the simple fact he WANTS to, and thinks that is the best way to cure the ills of this country by giving people a handout is just wrong.

This is pure and simple socialism.

Can somebody name me one socialist country that is still thriving today?

There is a reason for that.

Sure, he is going to go after people that are making 250,000 a year and above.

For now.

What happens when he comes after YOUR paycheck?

Don't think it can't happen because this is exactly how it starts. A little from the rich, then when that wasn't so bad, it didn't really hurt them, we'll drop it down to people making 100,000 then 50,000....where would it end?

It wouldn't.

This a very dangerous man, folks.

So if you voted for him, when he comes after YOUR paycheck, you heard it here first.

And by the way, don't think the radical Islamists aren't absolutely licking their chops right now.

(but that's a discussion for another time)

Anyway, I'm off to Hawaii on Tuesday for a week!! Yay me!! lol.

SUPPORT THE TROOPS!!!!

(something that will be in short supply from our Socialist in Chief)

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

OUR SISTER SARAH PALIN'S ANTI-ELITIST CHARM‏

I found the following very intereting, I am liking Sarah Palin more and more.

This is an article from Ralph Peters of the New York Post:

I KNOW Sarah Palin, and so does my wife.
Neither of us ever actually met the governor of Alaska , but we grew up with her - in the small-town America despised by the leftwing elite.
One gal-pal classmate of my wife's has even traveled from New York 's Finger Lakes to Alaska to hunt moose with her husband. (Got one, too.) And no, Ms. Streisand, she isn't a redneck missing half her teeth - she's a lawyer.
The sneering elites and their mediacrat fellow travelers just don't get it: How on earth could anyone vote for someone who didn't attend an Ivy League school? And having more than 1.7 children marks any woman as a rube. (If Palin had any taste, her teenage daughter would've had a quiet abortion in a discreet facility.)
And what kind of retro-Barbie would stay happily married to her high-school sweetheart? Ugh. She even kills animals and eats them. (The meat and fish served in the upscale bistros patronized by Obama supporters appears by magic - it didn't really come from living things.)
Palin has that hick accent, too. And that busy-mom beehive 'do. Double ugh! Bet she hasn't even read Ian McEwan's latest novel and can't explain Frank Gehry's vision for a new architecture. She and her blue-collar (triple ugh!) husband don't even own a McMansion, let alone an inherited family compound on the Cape .
And she wants to be vice president?
The opinion-maker elites see Sarah Palin clearly every time they look up from another sneering article in The New Yorker: She's a country-bumpkin chumpette from a hick state with low latte availability. She's not one of them and never will be. That's the real disqualifier in this race.
Now let me tell you what those postmodern bigots with their multiple vacation homes and their disappointing trust-fund kids don't see:
Sarah Palin's one of us. She actually represents the American people. When The New York Times, CNN, the NBC basket of basket cases and all the barking blog dogs insult Palin, they're insulting us.
When they smear her, they're smearing every American who actually works for a living, who doesn't expect a handout, who doesn't have a full-time accountant to parse the family taxes, who believes in the Pledge of Allegiance and who thinks a church is more than just a tedious stop on daughter Emily's 100K wedding day.
Go ahead, faux feminists and Hollywood deep thinkers: Snicker at Sarah America's degree from the University of Idaho, but remember that most Americans didn't attend Harvard or Princeton as a legacy after daddy donated enough to buy his kid's way in.
Go ahead, campaign strategists: Mock Americans who go to church and actually pray. But you might want to run the Census numbers first.
And go right ahead: Dismiss all of us who remember how, on the first day of deer season, our high school classrooms were half empty (not a problem at Andover or Exeter ).
That rube accent of Palin's? It's a howler. But she sounds a lot more like the rest of us than a Harvard man or a Smithie ever will. Why does Sarah Palin energize all of us who don't belong to the gilded leftwing circle? Because she's us. We sat beside her in class. We hung out after school (might've even shared a backseat combat zone on prom night). And now she lives next door, raising her kids. For the first time since Ronald Reagan, our last great president, we, the people, see a chance that one of us might have a voice in governing our country.
Speaking of Reagan ( Eureka College , Illinois ), every chief executive we've had since the Gipper snapped his final salute as president has had the imprimatur of an Ivy League university. And we've gone from bad to worse:
* George Herbert Walker Bush: Yale.
* William Jefferson Clinton: Georgetown , Oxford , Yale Law.
* George W. Bush: Yale and Harvard Business School .
The first lacked the sense to finish the job in Desert Storm; the second lacked the guts to go after al Qaeda when it was just a startup - and the third, well, let's just say he disappointed our low expectations.
Now we have the Ivy League elite's "he's not only like us but he's a minority and we're so wonderful to support him" candidate, Sen. Barack Obama ( Columbia and Harvard Law).
Our country can't afford another one of these clowns. Harvard isn't the answer - Harvard's the problem.
So here's the message Palin is sending on behalf of the rest of us (the down-market masses Dems love at election time and ignore once the voting's done): The rule of the snobs is over. It's time to give one of us a chance to lead.
Sen. John McCain's one of us, too. He raised hell at Annapolis (quadruple ugh: military!), and he'll raise the right kind of hell in Washington .
McCain's so dumb he really loves his country.
Sarah Palin's dumb that way, too. How terribly unfashionable.

Hiker taking steps in fight with cancer

This is a really good story folks.

You can apply this to anything in life. It doesn't have to be cancer, or life threatening.

The experts tell us we only use about 10% of our brain, simply because we haven't figured out how to use the other 90%.

I can give you some examples, and I know this has happened to every single one of you who is reading this right now.

Lets say you are driving down the road, and you start thinking of a certain song, and bam.....the next song that comes on is the very song you were thinking of...a coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. If it's a top 40 song that they play all the time.....okay I'd give you that one......but how many times has it been a song you haven't heard in forever.

Or how about this one, you will be thinking about somebody, just for no reason whatsoever, the phone rings, and it's the person you were thinking about, I know that has happened to you.

Again, coicidence?

Maybe.

But how many times has it happened in your lifetime?

I can think of several times where I have picked the phone up to call somebody, and the person I was calling has already called me and is on the line, but I picked it up right before it rang.

I'm a firm believer that's the power of the "untapped" mind.

I know, you're probably thinkin'

"D C you have completley lost it."

Well, maybe.

(we'll see what you think next time it happens)

The power of positive thinking can be a powerful thing.

Most of you that have known me my adult life, know I have Crohns. And I have had bouts with it several times over the years. And I have had this since about the 9th grade. I was pretty sick with it in high school, but I wasn't about to let it get me down. (although I did have to quit football pretty much because of it)

Anyway, I still was able to play basketball and golf.

But it was the power of positive thinking that really helped me.

Was I dealt a "crappy" hand (pun intended, lol) sure.....but there are people who had things a whole lot worse than I did.

Like the guy in this story.

Anyway, the lord won't give you anything you can't handle....stay positive....he will help you if you help yourself.....which to me means:

POSITIVE THINKING AND ATTITUDE!!!

Massive Crack Discovered in Glacier at Top of Greenland:

Okay guys, the enviro whacko's are surely going to blame this on global warming. (which is a myth)

here's something to think about, why do you think they call it "Greenland" they call it that because once upon a time, it wasn't an ice and snow covered tundra, it actually had thriving, living vegatation. So as I have said time and time again, the planet was a whole heck of a lot warmer way back when, and we didn't burn up, the ozone layer didn't go away...etc etc.

Kirk Ferentz's tenure. I guess we have gotten them a couple times, but it's not like it used to be under Hayden Fry. Don't get me wrong, I like Ferentz and we had one hell of a run there for about 5 years starting with the Alamo Bowl vs. Texas Tech a few years back. But since then we have fallen on some less than average years.....stay tuned.

Andrew Giuliani sues Duke University, over golf team dismissal

Uh...wow.

Hey there Anthony, sounds like the team doesn't care for you a whole lot there bud.

And how noble of you to ask your dad to stay out of it, way to be a stand up guy!

Maybe....maybe you got the boot because your attitude sucks, and maybe you do too. I looked but couldn't find an average score for you listed anywhere......hmmm......wonder why that is.

Hey I know, I think I'll sue my parents because I'm not 7'0 ft tall, otherwise I'd be in the NBA.

Listen, you spoiled, little rich brat ass, punk, go cry in your golf bag somewhere. Im' sure your big daddy warbucks can get you in any school, and maybe you can go somewhere and actually MAKE a golf team.

Now, just go away please.

Africa: Activists Hail Senate Approval of Major Aids Bill:

Okay, this right here is a pile of crap.

Dubbya and I are not seeing eye to eye on this one, at all.

Crippiling floods in the midwest, (including my hometown) and we have 48 billion to send to some country that can't control themseleves?

All they do is run around and have sex with each others couisns, wives, etc etc.

And they can't figure out why every three people over there has been exposed to the HIV virus?

I don't understand this one at all.

Explain this one to me, where were we when all the innocent people were being slaughtered in the genocide that was happening over there?

Rawanda, Sudan, The Congo, millions of innocent people were just summarily slaughtered.

But hey I know, lets go ahead and send 48 billion over there to the powers that be...and how much of that will actually reach the people it's intended to help?

You know the tribal warlords will take it, and by weapons with it, plain and simple.

Sorry dubbya, you blew this one.

BATTER UP DAD!!

(Todays blog comes to us from.........my dad!

Of course he got it from, "Chicken Soup for the Soul!")

My father was an avid baseball fan.

I grew up in New York City and was able to see the greats play at the Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field and Yankee Stadium. Many a Saturday was spent with my dad cheering on our favorite team. As much as I loved the game of baseball, alas, I was born female at a time when girls watched more than they played. Whenever he could, Dad took me out to the park where the neighborhood Little League played and pitched balls for me to hit. We played together for hours, and baseball became a big part of my life.One day at the park, a woman pushing a young boy in a wheelchair stopped to watch us play. My dad was over to them in a flash to ask if the child could join our game. The woman explained that the boy was her son and that he had polio and wouldn’t be able to get out of the chair. That didn’t stop my dad. He placed the bat in the youngster’s hand, pushed him out to home plate and assisted him in holding the bat. Then he yelled out to me on the mound, “Anne, pitch one in to us.” I was nervous that I might hit the child but could see the delight in the boy’s eyes, so I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly. The ball made contact with the bat with an assist from my dad and the child screamed with joy. The ball flew over my head and headed for right field. I ran to catch up with it and, as I turned, I heard my dad singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” while he pushed the wheelchair around the bases. The mother clapped and the boy begged to be allowed to continue the game. An hour later we all left the field, very tired but very happy. The boy’s mother had tears in her eyes when she thanked my father for making it such a special day for her son. Dad smiled that wonderful grin that I loved so much and told the mother to bring the boy back next Saturday and we would play another game. Dad and I were at the field the next Saturday but the mother and son never came. I felt sad and wondered what had happened to change their mind about joining us. Dad and I played many more games of baseball but never saw the two again.Twenty years passed and my beloved father died at the tender age of fifty-nine. With my dad gone, things changed so much that the family decided to move to Long Island. I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood where I had grown up.I decided to take one last walk around the park where Dad and I had spent so many happy moments. I stopped at the baseball field where we played our Saturday games. Two Little League teams were on the field just about to start a game. I sat down to watch for awhile. I felt the sting of tears in my eyes as I watched the children play the game that I loved. I missed my dad so much.“Jeff, protect your base,” one coach yelled. I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. One coach turned and smiled and said, “The kids sure love a rooting section, Miss.” He continued, “I never thought I’d ever be a coach playing on this field. You see, I had polio as a child and was confined to a wheelchair. One day my mother pushed me to the park and a man was playing baseball with his daughter. He stopped when he saw us watching and asked my mother if I could join them in their game. He helped me to hold the bat and his daughter pitched to me. I was able to hit the ball with the man’s assistance and he ran me around the bases in my wheelchair singing the song ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game.’ I went home happier that night than I had been in years. I believe that experience gave me the desire to walk again. We moved to New Jersey the next day—that’s why my mother had taken me to the park, so I could say good-bye to my friends. I never forgot that man and his daughter or that day. I dreamed about running around the bases on my own two feet and the dream, with a lot of hard work, came true. I moved back here last year, and I’ve been coaching Little League since then. I guess I hope that some day I’ll look up in the stands and see that man and his daughter again. Who knows, I might find him on one of the fields pitching to one of his grandkids—a lot of years have come and gone. I sure would like to thank him.”As the tears ran down my face I knew that my dad had just been thanked and even more I knew every time I heard “Batter up!” my dad would be right beside me, no matter where life took me and the family. That simple act of kindness that spring day had changed a life forever, and now twenty years later the memory of that day had changed my life forever. “Batter up, Dad,” I said as I left the field, “I know you’re still playing the game we love—baseball!”

Court rejects death penalty for raping children

Oh, am I gonna have fun with this!!

You may want to go the link first, then read my response.

STORY LINK

First of all, the liberal judges arguement doesn't hold water.

The worst part about it is, BESIDES THE FACT A LITTLE KID WAS FRIGGIN' RAPED is that they have WAY over stepped their power as supreme court justices, trampling on states rights.

While it's true there is a provision in the constitution banning cruel and unusual punishment, it does not apply here.

How can it?

Did the kid have cruel and unusual punishment while being raped?

I'd have to say so.

The ever brilliant "Justice Kennedy" came up with this little gem in his majority opinion:

"The death penalty is not a proportional punishment for the rape of a child,"

Really, Justice Kennedy?

Really?

Are you sure?

But the U. S. will go ahead and invoke the death penalty for espionage or treason.

(which I do agree with)

But how is raping a little kid at least not as bad as that?

Let us move on to "Justice Kennedy's" next brilliant statement:

"The absence of any executions for rape and the small number of states that allow it demonstrate there is a national consensus against capital punishment for the crime of child rape."

Um.....no it doesn't dumb ass.

It demonstrates a bunch of liberal lawmakers making laws for the rest of us.

A few people with the most money lobby against it, and that's the way it goes.

"Justice Kennedy" ask anybody who lives in the real world what they would do if they knew someone who actually raped a little kid.

Let alone their own kid.

See folks this is the liberals trying to tell you they know what's best for you.

How about this "Justice Kennedy" lets have a national vote, since your so keen on trampling states rights anyway.....

Here's the ballot:

SHOULD THE DEATH PENALTY BE ALLOWED FOR THE CRIME OF RAPE OF MINORS

Word it anyway you want, I don't care.

I predict at least an 80 to 20 percent victory.

Maybe more.

This is ridiculous, and irresponsible.

We need to start protecting the children in this country.

I can GUARANTEE you if we passed this law, and started hanging these monsters this shit would stop.

"Justice Kennedy" anytime you would care to debate the matter, please give me a ringy dingy.

You can have the whole U S justice systems library's, or whatever you need for your sources.

I'll just need one.

The mother of a child who was raped.
