The right to dissent abolished!

April 24, 2009

In a dark of the night move that would, and probably has Frank Lautenberg smiling your right to protest was abolished last Tuesday. For years I have been posting about not using terms like “law abiding citizen.” This is precisely what I saw coming. Welcome to the world of felons people!

Hat Tip to Anthony at The Liberty Sphere;

Bill Quietly Becomes Law That Forbids Opposition!

Have you ever heard of legislation in the United States of America that forbids any opposition to it?

Well, we now have it, and it is the law of the land, courtesy of the thugs in the White House and Congress.

Read all about it in my column at Columbia Conservative Examiner.

Thank-you.

Humor; it’s been a tough week after all!

Since this week has been so full of depressing things from the administration of the impostor in chiefs administration I decided to post some of the many jokes that I received. Most are from my better halfs father, a few from other friends, and a few from sources that would prefer not to be identified. Enjoy!

USMC F 18

In addition to communicating with the local Air Traffic 
    Control facility, all aircraft in the Persian Gulf AOR are required to give 
    the Iranian Air Defense Radar (military) a ten minute 'heads up' if they 
    will be transiting Iranian airspace. 

This is a common procedure 
    for commercial aircraft and involves giving them your call sign, transponder 
    code, type aircraft, and points of origin and 
    destination
    I just flew with a guy who overheard this 
    conversation on the VHF Guard (emergency) frequency 121.5 MHz while flying 
    from Europe to Dubai . It's too good not to pass 
    along:

Iranian Air Defense Radar: 'Unknown aircraft you are in Iranian airspace. Identify 
    yourself.' 

    Aircraft: 'This is a United States aircraft. I am in 
    Iraqi airspace.'

Air Defense Radar: 'You are in Iranian airspace. If you do not depart our 
    airspace we will launch interceptor aircraft!'

Aircraft: 'This is a United States Marine Corps FA-18 
    fighter. Send 'em up, I'll wait!'

    Air Defense Radar:         (no response ... 
    Total silence)

 The 
      Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting 
      unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces 
      (USRSF)

These boys will be dropped off in 
      Afghanistan and have been given only the following facts about 
      terrorists :

1. The season opened today.
2.. There is no 
      limit.
3. They taste just like chicken.
4. They don't like beer, 
      pickups, country music or Jesus.
5. They are directly responsible for 
      the death of Dale Earnhardt. 

The 
Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.

Can you say oops?

Boo boo strikes again!

April 24, 2009

Seems like an ongoing theme around here. Figure it out, wild animals, well, are wild. Go figure…

This is the time of year when wildlife are getting active. Most are birthing, and can be even more dangerous than they are most of the time. That people just drove by a pregnant woman clearly in distress really bothers me.

Ashley Swendsen, 26 years old and nearly six months pregnant, was chased into traffic by a bear as she went for a walk during her lunch hour in Colorado Springs Thursday.

A car brushed her to the ground and the driver slowed as Swendsen screamed that she was being chased by a bear.

But the driver, an older woman, sped off and the three cars behind it passed by as well, said Swendsen, reached by cell phone at the hospital.

Her physical injuries are believed to be minor, but the nervousness was still evident in her voice as she waited to see a doctor at about 4 p.m.

As the bear first appeared about 2 feet away from her on a hiking trail between the Vincent Drive Bridge and Interstate 25, she said “I thought … ‘what am I going to do?'”

She walked quickly for a few seconds before her fear overcame her and she began to run. The 4-foot-tall brown bear galloped behind her for about 20 seconds until she reached the roadway at 1005 Garlock Way.

“I started screaming for help, but nobody could hear me,” she said.

Wildlife officers soon located and killed the female bear. No cubs were found nearby. Swendsen said she was going to see its body after she was checked out at the hospital.Colorado Springs police are still looking for the hit-and-run driver, a woman likely to be in her 70s driving a black four-door Mitsubishi sedan.
