Burning down the house

October 20, 2008

Hat tip to Earl 1911 for posting this at the NRA Members site.

This video relating to facts in the CRA scandal was removed by Warner and Youtube, as I understand. Luckily, it was saved before that time, and was re-posted again by someone who gives a damn about America. .

It was taken out apparently because It told truths about Osama-Bin-Obama and his corrupt friends, and how they related to and benefitted from the financial scandal.
This video is entitled “Burning Down The House.”
Each of you could do America a favor. Spread this URL to everyone you know, and please encourage your friends to do the same.
Thanx, and Semper Fi.

Elbow sweat

October 20, 2008

Politics, like everything else in life take time and work if you are going to do them correctly. My good friend and fellow Blogger Texas Fred has launched an exploratory website. Please take the time to visit there, and leave comments.

Yes, I am well aware of the political shenanigans being waged against Sarah Palin. Here is my take on it, and yes I will be blunt:

That idiot needed to be fired, if not prosecuted criminally. Whether there were also personal problems is of no consequence. Alaska is a right to work state; in other words you cannot be forced to work where you don’t want to work, it’s that pesky thirteenth amendment having to do with slavery. It also works the other way around though; you cannot force an employer to have you work for them when they don’t want you there. Especially when there are damned good reasons for that. So, enough of taking pot shots at a decent woman that has accomplished much in her life.

These two agree? Tell me it isn’t so!

October 20, 2008

I opened up my hotmail account today, and sure enough the NRA newsletter was there as I expected it to be. Can you imagine the shock that sent shivers through my entire body though when I learned that two daimetricly, well almost, (the NRA isn’t Gun Owners of America after all) groups actually agreed on one thing..?

In a rare occurrence, NRA and the Brady Campaign (formerly Handgun Control, Incorporated) agree on something.

Four years ago, the Brady Campaign endorsed an anti-gun senator by the name of John Kerry for President, and NRA thought that decision made sense—for an anti-gun group.

This week, in a testament to his anti-gun record, Barack Obama also received a presidential endorsement from the Brady Campaign.

So, once again, the Brady Campaign and NRA are in total agreement—Barack Obama is, by far, the most anti-gun presidential nominee in history and he certainly deserves the endorsement of one of the most outspoken anti-gun organizations in the country.

The above schizophrenia did not last long though, thank God. What followed is more alligned to the form that I am used too! Same source as above…

Notable quotations to think about

October 20, 2008

Just a few notable quotations to think about during these oh so stressful election times…

“Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.” —Milton Friedman

“Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.” —Ayn Rand

“Government cannot make man richer, but it can make him poorer.” —Ludwig von Mises

“The state is the great fiction by which everybody seeks to live at the expense of everybody else.” —Frederic Bastiat

“We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” —Thomas Jefferson

“How odd that all those boring lessons from our grandparents turn out to be true in the globalized, hip 21st century: Save your money. Don’t borrow what you can’t pay back. Look first at a man’s character, not his degrees. And if a promised return on an investment seems too good to be true, it probably is.” —Victor Davis Hanson

The Futures Market, and Politics

October 20, 2008

It would appear that the “futures market” is yet again entering the political field. This is not at all an uncommon thing to see. After all, we like our leaders to be experienced in what they do. Hence the hue and cry about a candidate that has so little actual leadership experience.

What follows is from the Patriot Post and was written by Thomas Sowell

“Apparently there is something about Sarah Palin that causes some people to think of her as either the best of candidates or the worst of candidates. She draws enthusiastic crowds and provokes visceral hostility in the media. The issue that is raised most often is her relative lack of experience and the fact that she would be ‘a heartbeat away from the presidency’ if Senator John McCain were elected. But Barack Obama has even less experience—none in an executive capacity—and his would itself be the heartbeat of the presidency if he were elected. Sarah Palin’s record is on the record, while whole years of Barack Obama’s life are engulfed in fog, and he has had to explain away one after another of the astounding and vile people he has not merely ‘associated’ with but has had political alliances with, and to whom he has directed the taxpayers’ money and other money. Sarah Palin has had executive experience—and the White House is the executive branch of government. We don’t have to judge her by her rhetoric because she has a record. We don’t know what Barack Obama will actually do because he has actually done very little for which he was personally accountable… Sarah Palin is the one real outsider among the four candidates for the presidency and vice-presidency on the Republican and Democratic tickets. Her whole career has been spent outside the Washington Beltway. More than that, her whole life has been outside the realm familiar to the intelligentsia of the media. She didn’t go to the big-name colleges and imbibe the heady atmosphere that leaves so many feeling that they are special folks. She doesn’t talk the way they talk or think the way they think. … Whatever the shortcomings of John McCain and Sarah Palin, they are people whose values are the values of this nation, whose loyalty and dedication to this country’s fundamental institutions are beyond question because they have not spent decades working with people who hate America.” —Thomas Sowell

They are still there Mister President…

October 20, 2008

A spokesman for the Taliban claimed responsibility for the death of a Christian aid worker in Kabul on Monday, and the militant group said it had attacked the woman because she was spreading her religion.

The woman, a British citizen, worked with handicapped Afghans and was killed in the western part of Kabul as she was walking to work around 8 a.m., the police said. Najib Samsoor, a district police chief, originally said the woman was from South Africa, but the British government later said she was British.

The gunmen, who were on a motorbike, shot the woman in the body and leg with a pistol, said Zemeri Bashary, an Interior Ministry spokesman. Officials did not release her name.

Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the slaying, saying the woman was killed because she was spreading Christianity. The group’s leaders had “issued a decree to kill this woman,” the spokesman said. “This morning our people killed her in Kabul.”

Calls to the woman’s organization Serving Emergency Relief and Vocational Enterprises, or Serve, were not answered Monday. The group calls itself a Christian charity registered in Britain.
