IRONY ALERT "I want to know whose a... to kiss"

With permission by my Facebook friend, writer and cartoonist, John Richards.

Who can forget Obama’s classic line “I want to know whose ass to kick” while oil was pouring into the gulf last June. Well here we are in January with gas prices shooting up and no end in sight, crude prices rising over 30 percent in the last four months while the world is awash in oil, and… silence. Maybe I missed it. Has Obama asked again “whose ass do I kick”? I didn’t think so.

So what has Obama done to secure our energy supply? Well he’s banned drilling in the offshore waters of our country and we now have less domestically produced oil and those oil rigs have moved on to friendlier countries. But at least we won’t have leaks in the gulf anymore… what’s that?... Russians and Cuban’s are drilling there instead!... then who does he kick when they have a leak? And then he closed off huge tracts of Alaskan land to drilling in order to save the Polar bears (without oil rig workers what are the Polar bears going to eat?) And just last week he had his EPA rescind an already approved permit for a new coal mine, but only after the mine owners had already made the investment to harvest the coal (keep this up and in ten years kids won’t even know what a “coal miner’s daughter” is). That’s sure to scare off any new mine development and help us achieve energy independence.

So what’s his energy plan? Well it’s green energy of course! And why do they call it “green” energy in the first place. Because it’ll cost all of us a lot more green. But Obama said he’s going to make us the green energy leaders… what’s that?... China is the leader in green energy equipment… and they’re smart enough to make the machinery but not use it… they just sell it to us so they have more oil for their own country and economy… that’s pretty smart. Too bad Obama didn’t think of that one! By the way, don’t you wish you had a gallon of gas for every time a Democratic governor said they were going to make their state the leader in green energy production.

Does green energy have a future? Maybe, but it’s way in the future. This is the United States of America. It’s not part of the American psyche to pay a lot more and get a lot less. To prove their point, the “global warming”, “climate change”, or whatever they call themselves this week fear mongers have found their true champion in Barack Obama. Finally they have a president who, if they can’t make their green energy more cost effective than carbon fuels and nuclear power, is more than happy to artificially inflate prices to make their economic case all while bringing our gross domestic product down to say that of… well… Kenya for example.

I’d like to stay and talk about how Obama and Company are trying to enact “cap and trade” through executive fiat but I want to be first in line at the gas station when they start rationing.

DOES OBAMA HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE?

Some people claim this video is repeatedly pulled off the net.  Obviously whoever does this is aware that his could be damaging.

LETTER TO THE (UN-AMERICAN) NANCY PELOSI

The author of this letter had to get it off his chest.  There are so many of us that can relate to his feeling, that's why I posted it here. 

Dear Ms. Pelosi:

I write to you out of utter disdain! You are as despicable and un-American as the traitor Jane Fonda.

I am a soon to be 65 year-old who has voted in every state and local election since 1966. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats alike. I have worked on campaigns for both Republicans and Democrats, white and black. I served the country that I love in Vietnam , as my son did in the Middle East . I was awarded two bronze stars. I have been involved in politics since age 6 when my father was campaign manager for a truly great American Congressman, Charles Raper Jonas, who worked for his constituents and his country, and was to be admired, unlike you.

You obviously haven’t read the Constitution recently, if ever, the Federalist Papers, or even David McCullough’s book on John Adams. You ought to take the time while riding around in your government provided luxury executive jet to do just that. You represent Socialistic and even Marxist principals that our founding fathers tried to avoid when setting out the capitalistic republican form of government represented by our Constitution.

I find it interesting that you and your husband are multi-millionaires with much of your fortune being made as a result of your “public service”. You have controlled legislation that has enhanced your husband’s investments both on and off shore. At the same time you redistributed the wealth of others. Our system of a free market economy is being destroyed by the likes of you, Harry Reid, and now our President. You ride around in a Gulfstream airplane at the tax payer’s expense while criticizing the presidents of companies who produced something for the economy. You add nothing to the economy of the United States ; you only subtract therefrom.

I would like to suggest that you return to the city of fruitcakes and nuts and eat your husband’s canned tuna and pineapple produced by illegal immigrants and by workers who have been excluded from the protection that 90% of the legal workers in the United States have.

I await your defeat in the next election with glee.

Don’t ever use the term “un-American” again for protesters who love this country and are exercising their rights upon which this country was founded. By the way, while I served in the Army, I was spit on by the same type of lunatics who support you and who you probably supported in the 60’s and 70’s. You are an embarrassment to all of us who served so that you would have the protected right of free speech to call us un-American. But at the same time, I have the right to write you to notify you that I consider you to be un-American, as do the majority of the people of this formerly great country. You are a true disgrace to most of the people who served this country by offering themselves for public service in the United States Congress.

I feel certain your aides will not share this letter with you, but I intend to share it with many.

WHERE ARE 9 TRILLION OF OUR TAXPAYER MONEY?

9 TRILLION Dollars Missing from Federal Reserve,Fed Inspector General Can't Explain

Rep. Alan Grayson asks the Federal Reserve Inspector General about the trillions of dollars lent or spent by the Federal Reserve and where it went, and the trillions of off balance sheet obligations. Inspector General Elizabeth Coleman responds that the IG does not know and is not tracking where this money is.bloomberg.com

 The following video testimony first appeared in February, 2010 -- it is still pertinent today in light of recent Federal Reserve disclosures.

T'WAS THE MONTH BEFORE CHRISTMAS - A PROGRESSIVE'S WISH

'T was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
Hoping to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS ,
not Happy Holiday!
Please, all Christians join together and
wish everyone you meet
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

TSA = THOUSANDS STANDING AROUND

I'm already dreading the end of my vacation, knowing I will either be groped again or go through the see me naked scanner.  This will be the 6th time in a two months period. I had a full knee replacement that consists of titanium and plastic, and it goes off guaranteed when  I first go through the initial scanner. They ask me "Knee replacement?", apparently a very common occurrence. Still, I get moved to the side to be send to the "groper" or full body scanner. I carry a card from the surgeon, which doesn't help a bit.

There are always extra agents standing around, just waiting for a sucker like me to come through so they can justify their job. This entire security operation seems so inefficient.  I keep wondering why they won't even consider trying out the Israeli system. Another thought came to mind about people like me that have implants, prosthetics etc.  Let us go through a one-time thorough inspection and then provide us with a government certified security card that lets us pass through without the extra searches.  This alone would speed up the lines and make us look more efficient.

Being politically correct and profiling is an issue that needs to be resolved soon.  I sense the American people are becoming more and more agitated with this process.  How did the underwear bomber ever get on the plane last Christmas?  It seems no profiling was done then.

There is more to this as well.  Rand Paul made a good point when he wondered if the TSA agent is homosexual or not.  Today I read an article that stated most agents do not change their rubber gloves after each passenger. Various types of viruses and infectious diseases can now be transmitted through this process.  Doctors have and do change their gloves after each patient, so should the agents.

A fellow blogger made a good point by sending a letter to our respective representatives, asking them to stop this insanity and spend their efforts on a better system.

IN HONOR OF VETERAN'S DAY - Why I quit... Desert Storm vet explains decision to leave Air Force after 22 years

I never expected to write this letter, but my Mom e-mailed me to get information about my career for a writeup on Veterans Day, and as this is the first such holiday in 22 years when I will not be on active duty, I felt compelled to let you know why I decided to quit.


Quit is a strong word, I know. Everyone I’ve talked to has repeated that I’ve had a marvelous career and that I’ve retired with honor. Maybe that’s true on paper; I guess that it’s reflected by the record. But that’s not how I feel. I feel like I’ve quit. And because I’m not a quitter, I feel I have to explain why — not that anyone is asking, but because perhaps they don’t know to ask.

Briefly, my career had been a representation of the promise of this country. Starting out on the lowest rung of the rank ladder as an F-4G Wild Weasel crew chief, continuing on F-16s and the F-117A Stealth fighter in Desert Storm, then a small part of Desert Fox as a nuclear Maintenance Officer and finally a pilot that took part in numerous deployments in Southern Watch, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. I finished up an awesome year on the ground in Iraq, and was selected to receive a coveted “Definitely Promote,” assuring me of promotion to lieutenant colonel. They don’t pass out many of those. My dreams were right in front of me. All I had to do was grab them. And then I retired. Why?

Atlas Shrugged.
I had chosen, freely, to place my life between those that would do harm to the U.S. and those whom I would protect: her citizens. I had always believed in the best of America and the people of her lands; that despite occasional missteps there was a general “rightness” to our way. I lived that belief for 22 years, leading and following warriors into combat. I’m certainly no war hero; my brothers in arms have seen far more combat, more intense and personal than I. But I have become acquainted with death in a way that I hope you never do. My last tour, on the ground in Iraq was where my heart started to be hardened towards you, the electorate, and culminated in this letter, written two days before our elections. And here’s why.

OBAMA'S FUTURE - KING OF THE WORLD?

Received the following article from a fellow patriot who worked on a campaign in S. Florida.  He's sharing his thoughts on Obama's future which was a subject that had never occured to me.  Is it possible?  Why not, they gave him the Noble Peace Prize.

"The 2010 election not only is history, it made history. The biggest "change" in the house in the last 70 years. But this has not had any effect, noticeable at least, with President Obama. In his typical switch hitting manner, he called on the Republicans to sit down with him to solve the country's problems. Yet, shortly after, he talked with MoveOn.org and told them, "We are going to continue to take all the time it takes and all the effort it takes to get out country back on track."


Does he not get the message given to him on Nov. 2nd? He does but it doesn't give him much cause for alarm. He has no concern for he re-election in 2012. He has two lmore years to demolish, still further, the country. He knows he's committing political suicide by remaining a left wing zealot. He knows the fear rising within the elected ranks of Congressional Democrats who will break ranks with The Party in order to stay in office. But BHO doesn't care.

Obama has his sights on a position he considers elevated above that of U.S. President. He will be the next Secretary General of the United Nations. Presently, the term is a five year one, with one term extension. Pan Ki-Moon the present SG, was selected on January 1, 2007. My guess is that BHO will see to it that the confusing selection process will be changed in order for him to move up to this grand position.

He would be king of the world. The Muslim countries would claim him as their "native son." The rest of the Third World would jump for joy. "A finger in the eye to America," they would proclaim. Flying around the world in his desired role as "citizen of the world," he would live in Switzerland, France or wherever he wished. Michelle would shop in the finest European emporiums and order kobe beef in the most elite restaurants, with fresh greens, of course. She was never really proud of her country in the first place and Barack's stated embarrassment with this country's past indicates a happier life away from the greed and intolerance of this land."
