Gonna be gone for a few days

10:27 am in Site news, Surgery by skyzot63

Found out a few minutes ago that the out patient procedure I was scheduled for Friday is suddenly an in patient procedure. Still trying to find out why. So I will be admitted Wednesday morning and released sometime next week, that depends on how mch I can piss noff the nurses. Maybe I can get released earlier. Honestly, I know all the Nurses from spending the better part of the last three years on the third floor, there is not another bunch of people that I would trust with my life, except my Army Buddies.

It is not a big thing but I guess the usual liberal, hate mongering commenter’s can hope that I die.

All I want to say to them is, “Fuck You!!!!!”

When you put the clowns in charge, don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out. (Unknown but correct)

Drug testing for welfare recipients in West Virginia proposed.

11:18 am in Politics, Tax Dollars, Unemployment, Wellfare by skyzot63

West Virginia Delegate Craig Blair has submitted HB 3007 which requires drug testing for welfare, unemployment and food stamp recipients. I say HELL YAH. a snippet:

Welcome to NotWithMyTaxDollars.com where you can learn about my proposed legislation to drug test recipients of Welfare, Unemployment and Food Assistance (formerly known as Food Stamps).

Nowhere in our state or U.S. constitutions is it mandated that financial assistance is a right.  Make no mistake, it is a privilege afforded to those in need by the taxpayers via our federal and state governments.  Also, unemployment compensation premiums are currently paid by the employer, not the employee; however that may change very soon.  We should also remember that illicit drug use is illegal.  It is a crime that has criminal penalties.

I hope it passes and the other 57 states, (per Obama) take up the practice. I had to take drug tests to work and get a paycheck, why the hell should my money from my outrageous tax dollars be handed out to druggies with no control conditions. Every time I was injured on the job, I had to go pee in a bottle. That only happened to me once. Some of my co-workers lost their jobs when they failed the test. I never did understand the mentality of using drugs or stealing a bottle of wine, (which if they had asked for it, they would have most likely been given the wine) Good grief, losing a $85 K a year job over a quick high or a twelve dollar bottle of wine.

Furthermore, encouraging just one drug addicted, welfare supported mother or father, to get clean, would save potentially thousands upon thousands of dollars.  For every child born who is inflicted with a lifelong drug abuse related disease, the taxpayer’s incurred expense could be in the hundreds of thousands and potentially millions of dollars. 

Opponents claim that this legislation will hurt the children.  Evidence clearly indicates that drug addicted parents are the ones truly inflicting the harm.  This bill actually helps to protect the children.  Someone who fails a drug test will be given two months to get clean before assistance is cut off.  Any good parent would clearly choose their children’s best interest over illegal drugs.  And, maybe financial resources or the lack there of will be a greater cessation motivator than the addiction itself.  Remember, the upfront drug testing expense is minimal compared to the backside taxpayer incurred burden.

In essence, I believe that this bill will be constitutional.  Opponents of this bill are either enablers of bad (illegal) behavior, drug abusers or the most despicable of all…have a personal financial interest/gain in the demise of a certain segment of our society. And, they’ve yet to offer a viable alternative to this legislation.

It’s time we start respecting the taxpayer and get serious about fixing this problem.

Respecting the taxpayer? What an intriguing concept, It would be great if something like that caught on in Washington DC.

 

The Real Meaning of Earth Hour

I for one will be turning every light in the house and yard ON for this hour, I may just leave them on all night. The Greenies want to control and rule our lives. I will not drink the Gorebot’s KoolAid.

The Real Meaning of Earth Hour

By Keith Lockitch (March 23, 2009)

On Saturday, March 28, cities around the world will turn off their lights to observe “Earth Hour.” Iconic landmarks from the Sydney Opera House to Manhattan’s skyscrapers will be darkened to encourage reduced energy use and signal a commitment to fighting climate change.

While a one-hour blackout will admittedly have little effect on carbon emissions, what matters, organizers say, is the event’s symbolic meaning. That’s true, but not in the way organizers intend.

We hear constantly that the debate is over on climate change–that man-made greenhouse gases are indisputably causing a planetary emergency. But there is ample scientific evidence to reject the claims of climate catastrophe. And what’s never mentioned? The fact that reducing greenhouse gases to the degree sought by climate activists would, itself, cause significant harm.

Politicians and environmentalists, including those behind Earth Hour, are not calling on people just to change a few light bulbs, they are calling for a truly massive reduction in carbon emissions–as much as 80 percent below 1990 levels. Because our energy is overwhelmingly carbon-based (fossil fuels provide more than 80 percent of world energy), and because the claims of abundant “green energy” from breezes and sunbeams are a myth–this necessarily means a massive reduction in our energy use.

People don’t have a clear view of what this would mean in practice. We, in the industrialized world, take our abundant energy for granted and don’t consider just how much we benefit from its use in every minute of every day. Driving our cars to work and school, sitting in our lighted, heated homes and offices, powering our computers and countless other labor-saving appliances, we count on the indispensable values that industrial energy makes possible: hospitals and grocery stores, factories and farms, international travel and global telecommunications. It is hard for us to project the degree of sacrifice and harm that proposed climate policies would force upon us.

This blindness to the vital importance of energy is precisely what Earth Hour exploits. It sends the comforting-but-false message: Cutting off fossil fuels would be easy and even fun! People spend the hour stargazing and holding torch-lit beach parties; restaurants offer special candle-lit dinners. Earth Hour makes the renunciation of energy seem like a big party.

We Got The Wrong Change

10:09 am in Constitution, Democrats, Friends, Gun Control, Obama, Opinion, Politics by skyzot63

From FrontPage Mag. I guess I am not alone in my skepticism of The One’s intentions regarding our enemies and allies.

The Obama Administration and Radical Islam

By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Alex Alexiev, adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute in Wash. D.C.

FP: Mr. Alexiev, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

During the last election campaign you wrote that if Barack Obama emerges victorious “the loudest cheers could come from the sworn Islamist enemies of our civilization.”

What are your views of President Obama’s policies with respect to radical Islam so far and do you still believe that the Islamists have a reason to be happy with the new administration?

Alexiev: With a caveat that it is still too early in the new administration’s tenure to form a definitive opinion, I’d have to say that the Islamists, foreign and domestic, have every reason to be happy with the direction in which the president is taking the country. This is particularly clear in the realm of foreign policy, but is also manifesting itself in domestic policy.

Dising our allies is not a good start for pres. Zero. Sucking up to our enemies is even worse.

FP: Give an example. Start with the domestic situation.

Alexiev: Well, as I said, it is still early and the administration is not yet fully staffed – especially in the second-tier staff positions – so we don’t yet know what direct role radical Islamists are likely to play, but let me give you two examples that indicate either remarkable ignorance on the part of the White House with respect to Islamism or else a sympathetic attitude that is troubling.

The first is the invitation to the head of ISNA, Ingrid Mattson, to participate in the inauguration celebration as a guest of the presidential box. Now, it is well-known that ISNA is a key player in the Muslim Brotherhood subversive networks in this country and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) terror financing trial. What must be particularly galling to our counter-terrorism officials is that Mattson and ISNA are still being coddled by the White House despite the fact that last November the HLF conspirators were found guilty on all charges and Justice refused to remove ISNA from the list of unindicted co-conspirators. Exactly what kind of message is Mr. Obama trying to send to our law enforcement?

The second case has to do with the notorious Saudi shill Charles “Chas” Freeman. He has been roundly criticized for his strident anti-Israeli and pro-Communist Chinese views and such criticisms are of course valid. But what’s much more important in my view is the fact that he has been a paid Saudi agent of influence for a long time, including publishing and promoting Islamic and anti-American propaganda in our schools. For a man who should objectively be considered a security risk to be been appointed the head of the National Intelligence Council is simply unconscionable. And yes, Freeman ultimately exited the stage, but the fact that he was appointed for the position speaks volumes.

He did his damnedest to sneak good old “Chas” into his administration. I think he did sneak enough snakes in to do a very thorough of destroying this country.

FP: Closing Guantanamo? Do you consider it a domestic or a foreign policy issue?

Alexiev: It cuts both ways really but the latest news from the administration could make it more of a domestic issue. We have just been told by Attorney General Eric Holder that the administration is now considering releasing some of these murderous thugs in America, since their own countries won’t have them, in order for Mr. Obama to keep his promises to the loony Left to close the facility next year. It is not difficult to imagine some of these cutthroats promptly reverting to jihad on American soil courtesy of the American government.

Now “Gun Grabber” Holder gets into the picture. If he as his way, we will all be disarmed and defenseless when they acquit those murderous thugs into the population.

FP: The recent foreign political initiatives of the White House?

Alexiev: It is clear that after only nine weeks in power, President Obama is embarked on a dramatic reorientation, or should I say about face, of American foreign policy in the direction of appeasement of our enemies and indifference or worse toward our friends, something we last saw under Jimmy Carter.

Take Obama’s eagerness to talk to those that don’t want to talk to us like the mullahs in Tehran, the decision to steer $900 million to Gaza, which, whatever the spin, means Hamas, and new efforts to appease Putin by reneging on our missile defense commitments to the Eastern Europeans, to name just a few examples.

In the process, the president has also reneged on key campaign promises. Let’s just take the Afghan issue for a minute. You would remember, Jamie, Obama’s tough campaign rhetoric about invading Pakistan to deny sanctuaries to the Taliban, going to the “gates of Hell” to get Osama bin Laden and winning the “good war” in Afghanistan as opposed to the bad war in Iraq.

I disagree on this one point of his, the people who voted Obama in could not care less about Osama Bin Laden, they would most likely invite him over for dinner.. They were consumed by BDS (Bush Deraignment Syndrome), hating anything that has the conservative taint has stolen their brains. Now Obama seems to be trying to outdo Carter. In my book, he has the dis-honor of being the worst president ever. I guess he wants to make it official. He can’t give away the Panama Canal, Carter did that, so I think we should keep an eye on other important things that he might give away. Like The Constitution, I don’t think he has any intension of using or following it.

 

Alex Alexiev has much more to say as he picks te rotting flesh from Obama’s worthless, skinny bones go here to read the rest. I would write more, but it is time for a nap. Getting up at three A.M. to go through news feeds is not as easy as it once was.

These are the heroes who defend us.

U.S. Seeks Expanded Power to Seize Firms

I watched the circus on Capitol Hill last week. All those congress critters taking turns bloviating about the bonuses the AIG people recieved. It is all smoke and mirrors to draw attention away from the destruction that they, along with that Idiot Moron Obama, are bringing down on this country. Now this from WAPO:

Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, March 24, 2009; Page A01

The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document.

The government at present has the authority to seize only banks.

Giving the Treasury secretary authority over a broader range of companies would mark a significant shift from the existing model of financial regulation, which relies on independent agencies that are shielded from the political process. The Treasury secretary, a member of the president’s Cabinet, would exercise the new powers in consultation with the White House, the Federal Reserve and other regulators, according to the document.

So as it is the government (Obama) can seize banks, now they (Obama) is taking the power to seize more financial firms. To top it off Turbo-Tax-Timmy is going to be in charge. This administration is never dull. They pass the bill which included the authorization for the bonuses. I got a bonus each and every one of the thirty five years that I worked for the company I retired from, I hope they don’t decide to come after them. There is some new Bullshit every day, Obama is breaking all the speed limits to take this country to third world status.

The administration’s proposal contains two pieces. First, it would empower a government agency to take on the new role of systemic risk regulator with broad oversight of any and all financial firms whose failure could disrupt the broader economy. The Federal Reserve is widely considered to be the leading candidate for this assignment. But some critics warn that this could conflict with the Fed’s other responsibilities, particularly its control over monetary policy.

The government also would assume the authority to seize such firms if they totter toward failure.

Besides seizing a company outright, the document states, the Treasury Secretary could use a range of tools to prevent its collapse, such as guaranteeing losses, buying assets or taking a partial ownership stake. Such authority also would allow the government to break contracts, such as the agreements to pay $165 million in bonuses to employees of AIG’s most troubled unit.

The Treasury secretary could act only after consulting with the president and getting a recommendation from two-thirds of the Federal Reserve Board, according to the plan.

So now they want the authority to take partial ownership of these companies. That sounds much like the auto companies. The government dictates that the car companies produce those stupid death trap “Green Cars” that no one wants to drive. Of course there are those here in California who have bought into the green (Al Gorebot) scam. I pity them if they are in an accident.

"We’re very late in doing this, but we’ve got to move quickly to try and do this because, again, it’s a necessary thing for any government to have a broader range of tools for dealing with these kinds of things, so you can protect the economy from the kind of risks posed by institutions that get to the point where they’re systemic," Geithner said last night at a forum held by the Wall Street Journal.

The powers would parallel the government’s existing authority over banks, which are exercised by banking regulatory agencies in conjunction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Geithner has cited that structure as the model for the government’s plans.

It is about time for Americans to take a look behind the curtain. We need to know who the puppet master is. Is George Soros pulling the strings? Is it Hugo Chavez? How about Putin or Amadinnerjacket? My money goes on Soros, he ges his fingers into everything related to the Democrat party. Someone is pulling the strings on this puppet that is temporarily residing, free of rent, in our HOUSE.

When you put the clowns in charge, don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out. (Unknown but correct)

Time For A Good Rant

2:39 pm in California, Conservatives, Democrats, Economy, House of Represtatives, John McCain, Jonathan Kron, Liberals, National, Opinion, Politics, Republicans, Sarah Palin, Senate by skyzot63

I am sick of the Political system we have in this country. We have Democrats and Republicans, the two major players in the political process. There is almost no difference in them these days. The Democrats have become so radically liberal as to become dangerous to the survival of this country. The party just needs to become the Liberal Party. That way they could go ahead and absorb the Communist Party,The Green Party, Atheist Party and any other fringe party since the platforms are so similar.  With that change we would all know what and who we are dealing with, after all those who call themselves “Moderate Democrats” only want to raise your tax rates by 40% instead of 90%. The overall view of the party has become the mantra of bi-partisanship, which in liberal speak for “Do it our way now sit down and shut up”

Now we get to the Republican Party, the Grand Old Party. It has become a gaggle of weak sister compromising weenies. They have thrown the Conservative values of Ronald Reagan out the window. They now want to “Cross The aisle”  and cooperate  and “Get Along”. That is why I think The Republican Party should become The Conservative Party. Sweep away all the RINOS, yepper I’m talkin’ about you Specter, Collins, Snowe and you John McCain. My patience with moderate Republican’s has grown very short. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!

The Conservative Party needs to be built around people who have the values of people like Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal and the future great Jonathan Krohn at CPAC. When a fourteen year old can get it, why the fuck can’t adults get it? In my book, the only time a conservative should cross the aisle, is to Bitch Slap a liberal for being either stupid or a liberal, they both work for me.

My days on this earth are approaching a close much sooner than I would have wished. If in the next few years it takes pitch forks and torches to take back our government, I have my pitch fork at the ready and I can make a torch in about five minutes. In my book, it is time to clean house in Washington, Sacramento and just about any other state capitol you would care to name. There are a few good Governors around, but they are Conservative before they are Republicans.

I don’t have a bucket of shit’s worth of respect for any of the politicians in power, either side of the aisle. We have needed Term Limits for a very long time. One stipulation on the term limits, let’s include all the entrenched beaurocrats also. The Government has been run by these non-elected fat cats for far too long. Clear them out, for decades they have continued their same agendas no matter who is in the White House. If you don’t believe it take a look at the State Department, the DoD, or any other department in Washington, there are people there who have been there for thirty of more years. Some of them most likely don’t even remember what job they are doing.

One of the biggest mistakes made in this country was allowing government employees to Unionize. Firemen, Police Officers, Air Traffic Controllers and all other government employees should not be allowed to go on strike. They should be well compensated for the work they do and the dangers they face. In my book school teachers are not paid enough, I’m talking about the teachers in the classroom the ones teaching our future generations. Not the fat cat administrators who sit in their big offices and set te curriculum for the classroom. They are the ones that are destroying the future of this country. They are changing history, if it is taught at all. Classroom teachers are restricted to the curriculum, it is based on the advancement tests, “teach to the tests” they are told. Our children and grandchildren are being indoctrinated in the liberal manor by the curriculum, the teachers have no choice if they want to keep their jobs. Oh wait, I forgot the TEACHER’S UNION another good reason to keep government employees from unionizing.

I think I have ranted enough today.

When you put the clowns in charge, don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out. (Unknown but correct)
