Hi Patrick,

Yes. Please do.

I wanted to say something else if I may. I too was a liberal. However, on
9/11/01, I had an epiphany which changed me to a Freedom loving
conservative.

Our son was two months old, and I stood in my living room and looked at my
husband in horror
as the news reported the flights that were hijacked and used to kill
thousands of Americans.

My husband was scheduled on the 8:00am American Airlines Flight 11, which
was scheduled from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, to
Los Angeles International Airport. The only difference was that his flight
was on 9/13/01 instead of 9/11/01.

I realize today that my dear little boy might never have know his father.
Amazing the difference a day or two can make in your life.

Cheers,

janet

Janet, Thank you so very much for your e-mail. It is little stuff like this, that makes every little snide comment that I have to delete, every nasty e-mail that I have to deal with, every blogger who has written bad stuff about me; worth it. I like you Janet, was someone who was a Democrat voter, that changed my views after starting this Blogging adventure. I have said this before, and I believe some of my readers might not believe this, but it is the truth. This blogging stuff have NEVER, EVER, EVER been about the money, ever. If it was, I would have QUIT DOING THIS LONG AGO! Now if I happen to make a little money in the process, fine and dandy, but, my motivation is NOT money! This blog is simply my virtual protest against what I consider to be wrong and that is the big Government socialism of the far left. This here is what keeps me going, not lust for money, not pride. This, in the words of the Republican, Martin Luther King Jr.:

God Bless You All and Happy New Year! See you in 2010!!!! 😀

Update: I think I will update this, before any idiot socialist, Democratic Party, serial whiner gets wind of this and accuses me of anything stupid, like they are so known for. First off all, Martin Luther King was a registered Republican; that comes directly from his niece. Second of all, if you remove the subject of Whites and blacks, and put in Socialists versus those who love our Freedoms. (Not just Republicans…. Democrats too!) The video fits. Third of all; Martin Luther King was fighting SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS, who thought that Blacks were inferior to White people! Which I know and everyone else, who isn’t some sort of idiot, brain-dead, White Nationalist — is stupid.

I fight the good fight of faith. I cannot serve in the Military, they won’t take me, I am too old, plus, Physically I am not in good shape, so… I fight here. In the Internet realm. Pushing back against the socialist machine… It is the fight for my life. I know that I fight for the rights of others, for freedom, and for the Republic!

God Bless You All and Happy New Year! See you in 2010!!!!

From our supposed Allies on the war on terror, in Australia

Lol. So you didn’t print my comment? What a prissy little wimp you are.

If you’re such a big, tough anti-jihadi warrior, why don’t you join the Army? Or better still, borrow some money from your mom, fly to Pakistan, catch a bus to Afghanistan and go after them yourself?

I thought not, chickenshit. Why did you shave off the beard? It was a perfect cocksucker’s doormat.

That’s from Australia. One of our supposed Allies on the war on terror.  As if. 🙄

Rocket Launcher Found In Apartment, and the Government does nothing about it

If this does not make your blood boil nothing will:

HOUSTON — Police went to a southwest Houston apartment to break up a disturbance but ended up finding something else, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.

rocket launcher

A woman called police on Monday and said a man was forcing his way into her apartment in the 5300 block of Elm Street.

When officers went inside, they found something that made them concerned enough to call the bomb squad.

They found an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher. It can shoot a missile nearly 1,000 feet through buildings and tanks.

“It gives infantrymen the advantage with an ultra-light weapon that can stop vehicles, armored vehicles as well as main battle tanks and fortifications,” said Oscar Saldivar of Top Brass Military and Tactical on the North Freeway.

That type of rocket launcher has been used in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The renter of the apartment didn’t want to talk to KPRC Local 2.

“This is my house,” the woman said. ” Get away from here. I don’t want to talk to nobody.”

You want to know why this totally pisses me off? I will tell you why. Have these idiots noticed that there was an attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Eve? Further more, there is another reason; it is called political correctness. Had this been a white man, just fresh out of the United States Military, the Government would have been all over this one. But because it was some turban-wearing fuck, who most likely was a Jihadist; he gets off with just local charge of Breaking and Entering. Oh yes, we would not want to offend CAIR, now would we?

I will tell you all this; if there is another major terrorists attack in this Country, it will be because of the inane stupidity of the Government officals on all levels; City, State and Federal. The Democrats will not be able to pin it on Bush anymore; this is their baby now. They will have no one to blame —– but themselves.

Quote of the Day

“Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” –James Madison, Federalist No. 46

More Ron Paul Stupidity

AllahPundit Explains the Stupid:

I’ve already written about how his isolationist garbage leads inexorably to nonsense like this, so let me just add two points. First, and most obviously, there is no U.S. occupation of Yemen or Nigeria. The only way the airline plot is a reaction to U.S. “occupation” is if you accept the jihadist premise that there are no Arab/Muslim nation-states but rather only one Islamic caliphate waiting to be born. Only in that way does the U.S. occupation of Iraq warrant a reprisal from, say, a Pakistani or Yemeni. And yet, needless to say, if Britain was attacked tomorrow and Obama pledged U.S. forces to assist in the reprisal, Paul would be the first guy to scream that we should scrupulously observe national boundaries and not go fighting another country’s battles for it.

Second, as usual, his facts are wrong. He uncritically accepts Abdulmutallab’s assertion that the bomb plot was retaliation for the U.S. airstrike on jihadi camps in Yemen. Not so: As Jake Tapper explained yesterday, this turd had already been mobilized and had even bought his Northwest ticket before we struck. Purely and simply, America’s Greatest Patriot is parroting propaganda cooked up by jihadist pieces of shit because it happens to fit his insane foreign policy agenda. Support him and his disciples at your peril.

Amen and Amen. I have written on this blog time and time again; that Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy is rooted in 1940’s Pre-World War II mentality, only to be blasted by Pro-Ron Paul nuts who sometimes like to come here and poke at me for having the audacity to insult their fearless leader. This is why Ron Paul is not, nor will he ever be President. When I do say this, the best these Ron Paul bots can do; is to call me a “Neo-Con”, which in the language of the Ron Paul followers means Jew. Which is pretty funny, considering the parents are both people that were born and raised in southern states — which is a nice way of saying, they’re both Hillbillies. So, I am as much as a Jew, as say, Barack Obama?

In fact, I do not consider Ron Paul to be a true-blue Republican or even a Conservative. I consider him to be an old school, crypto-Leftist — heck, half of his supports who write over at the American Conservative, also write at places like The Nation associates website, and “The Week” which are both far leftist organizations and publications.

Anyhow, this should prove it, that Ron Paul has no place in modern day politics, at all. Period. End of Discussion. Heck, there are now even videos connecting Ron Paul to the… gulp… illuminati.

Please note: An earlier version of this entry had a link to a “Rick Roll” youtube video in the last paragraph. I cut and pasted the wrong link. I have now linked to the right video. Ooopsie.

Update:The Idiocy of the TSA – Subpoenas dropped!

They are now targeting Bloggers.

Via AP:

WASHINGTON – As the government reviews how an alleged terrorist was able to bring a bomb onto a U.S.-bound plane and try to blow it up on Christmas Day, the Transportation Security Administration is going after bloggers who wrote about a directive to increase security after the incident.

TSA special agents served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott, demanding that they reveal who leaked the security directive to them. The government says the directive was not supposed to be disclosed to the public.

Frischling said he met with two TSA special agents Tuesday night at his Connecticut home for about three hours and again on Wednesday morning when he was forced to hand over his lap top computer. Frischling said the agents threatened to interfere with his contract to write a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines if he didn’t cooperate and provide the name of the person who leaked the memo.

“It literally showed up in my box,” Frischling told The Associated Press. “I do not know who it came from.” He said he provided the agents a signed statement to that effect.

In a Dec. 29 posting on his blog, Elliott said he had told the TSA agents at his house that he would call his lawyer and get back to them. Elliott said late Wednesday he could not comment until the legal issues had been resolved.

The TSA declined to say how many people were subpoenaed.

Nothing says Government incompetence better than targeting a bloggers who leak a document making the TSA look like a bunch of fools. I also notice that the Socialist Democrats are not happy about it either. I do not know why, as it is they who elected and instituted this large Government mess that we now have, they should be pleased that the Government is doing its imperialistic job. The way I see it, you vote for big Government, then don’t gripe when that big Government overreaches.

Update: Reader Jeff passes on the info that the subpoenas have been dropped!

Um, folks, I am no fan of President Obama. But this sort of crap right here; will never, ever be approved here. So, do not even bother writing garbage like that on my blog. Sure, I would like to see his original, just as much as anyone else. But that brither crap has taken a life of its own and one that I really do not want to be involved in. So, please. If you are one of these sort of knuckle-heads. Leave your comments elsewhere. As you can imagine; I did add this lady to the idiot filter as well.

Limbaugh Hospitalized, possibly in serious condition

This is not good. (H/T Instapundit)

Video:

Story:

Conservative radio talk host Rush Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital on Wednesday afternoon with chest pains, sources told KITV.

Paramedics responded to the call at 2:41 p.m. at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.

Limbaugh suffered from chest pains, sources said. Paramedics treated him and took him to Queen’s Medical Center in serious condition.

via Sources: Limbaugh Hospitalized In Honolulu – Politics News Story – KITV Honolulu.

Even as this news broke, I wandered over to a few sites and already, the hate is sprouting. Unbelievable.

Thoughts and Prayers are with Rush, His Wife and the Limbaugh family tonight. Hang in there Rusty, we need you like never before.

I will update, as I learn more.
