Something To Think About

As I watch the country and its society change it makes me think that none of these changes seem to be leading us down a righteous path…….and the next election will NOT make it any better.

There is so much that leads me to that conclusion……….the loss of rights is only one of them………growing dangerous nationalism is another…….and the list grows…..but instead of listing each incident I found a better way to make the point……….

May be now is the best time to start thinking about your next vote…….the country is in trouble and you are concerned about some do nothing and his worthless mouth…..the country needs you to start paying attention.

Suicide By Stupid

I’m back!  Do not pay the ransom….I escaped!

Speaking of uber-nationalists…………I read an article yesterday that made me chuckle….

The death of a Ukrainian far-right activist in a shoot-out last week came at his own hands, the country’s interior ministry says: Sashko Bily, as he is known, accidentally shot himself twice while police tried to arrest him. The first shot just grazed him, but the second was fatal, officials say following an investigation. Police had been trying to push Bily, whose real name is Oleksandr Muzychko, to the ground as they attempted to handcuff him. They acted according to the law, the investigation found. Members of his group, the Right Sector, previously warned they’d get revenge for his death; they haven’t commented on the official findings, the BBC notes.

Okay let me see if I have it right….during a fire fight with cops this tool accidentally shot himself….not once but twice, right?

Kinda reminds me of a famous suicide or accidental death of a guy in New York who was standing on a street corner peeling an apple with a knife and he slipped and fell onto his knife…..32 times…..in the back.

Papers! Give Me Your Papers!

Daily Agitator

It is a sunny day at the park and your are approach by uniformed police and they demand your papers….NO!  This is NOT a scene from a movie about occupied Europe during the Second World War….nope…this is in your own backyard……….

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Friday neared a deadline to act on the nation’s toughest legislation against illegal immigration.The sweeping measure would make it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It would also require local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal.

Other provisions of the bill allow lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws, and make it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them.

I realize that immigration is a touchy subject for many on the Right and that they are trying to find an answer to the problem….but this is NOT an answer!  Why?  Say you were born in East LA, most likely you will be of Hispanic descent, and you do not drive or have a passport……got all that?  When your papers are demanded by the authorities how do you prove your citizenship?  Birth certificate?  Those are just as easy to forge as SSN……so then how do you prove your status?

Is illegal immigration the problem they would have us believe?  IMO, no it is not!  Why do I say that with all the evidence to the contrary?  There is a strong construction industry in my area plus it is a strong right to work state, but there are NEVER any of the unemployed locals waiting outside Home Depot for day work…..so the BS of them taking American jobs is not valid, at least where I live……

Of course, they, meaning the authorities, use the drug wars in the border regions as a reason for such actions….how about this….if you eliminate the middle man then the drug wars would virtually cease…yes, that means legalization of drugs….not only the elimination of some of the crimes but it would generate much needed revenue…..(this is a post for another day)

Is The Media Hypocritical?–Part Two

I recently ask this question and of course, got NO replies but –YES–they are hypocritical!  Why?

Months ago, a preacher of Obama’s made some inflammatory statements that are still being used in the media, at least by some, but there have been some statements made by some close to Palin that seem to be off limits.  Like?

This is an exerpt from Levi Johnston’s myspace page.

On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, “I’m a f – – -in’ redneck” who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.

“But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- – – and just f – – -in’ chillin’ I guess.”

“Ya f – – – with me I’ll kick [your] ass,” he added.

He also claims to be “in a relationship,” but states, “I don’t want kids.”

Thank God no one on Obama’s team ever said these things or he would be left ofn the curb by the party.

Next there is the all quiet Alaskan Independence Party, of which Palin’s husband is a member and Palin has made some speeches to in the past.

The founder of the Alaska Independence Party — a group that has been courted over the years by Sarah Palin, and one her husband was a member of for roughly seven years — once professed his “hatred for the American government” and cursed the American flag as a “damn flag.”

The AIP founder, Joe Vogler, made the comments in 1991, in an interview that’s now housed at the Oral History Program in the Rasmuson Library at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government,” Vogler said in the interview, in which he talked extensively about his desire for Alaskan secession, the key goal of the AIP.

“And I won’t be buried under their damn flag,” Vogler continued in the interview, which also touched on his disappointment with the American judicial system. “I’ll be buried in Dawson. And when Alaska is an independent nation they can bring my bones home.”

At another point, Volger advocated renouncing allegiance to the United States. In the course of denouncing Federal regulation over land, he said:

“And then you get mad. And you say, the hell with them. And you renounce allegiance, and you pledge your efforts, your effects, your honor, your life to Alaska.”

And the Rev. Wright said what?

If the media is fair and balanced then I am a Republican….beleive me there is NO WAY IN HELL that is a possibility.  Did anyone see the movie “Idiocracy”?  Watch it, there is your future as long as you let the media do your thinking for you.
