Izvestia or informative representative of the people?

It still amazes me to how much the American Press loves BHO, its like they feel the need to defend the President against all sorts of American dissent. I saw this article about a football player who stated an opinion regarding the Pres'. Notice how the writer inserts sublte yet obvious disdain for the athlete for oposing, in any way, his dear leader....

Mr. Harrison isn't going to Washington; Steeler spurns Obama
By Chris Chase

On Thursday, President Obama will welcome the Pittsburgh Steelers to the White House to honor the team for its recent Super Bowl victory. But, just like in 2006 when the Steelers had a post-title meeting with George W. Bush, defensive MVP (and Super Bowl hero) James Harrison won't be in attendance. But he has a good reason:

"This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won."
Usually, when a sentence begins with "as far as I'm concerned," it ends with an opinion, not an incontrovertible fact. Harrison's comment is akin to saying, "As far as I'm concerned, George Washington was the first president."

Of course the Cards would have received the White House invite if they had won. Winners get to go meet the president, losers don't. They also get the trophy, the parade and those hats that say "Super Bowl champs". I don't think James Harrison(notes) turned down any of those things, which makes his refusal to go to the White House a tad hypocritical.

When Harrison won the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year award, he didn't decline and say, "As far as he was concerned, they would've given this award to someone else if they had had a better defensive season." And when he scored that touchdown in the Super Bowl after returning an interception 100 yards, I'm pretty sure Harrison didn't tell the ref to take the points of the board because, as far as he was concerned, if Larry Fitzgerald(notes) had caught him, he wouldn't have scored.

As far as I'm concerned, James Harrison is sort of a fool. If he doesn't want to go to the White House, fine. (Although I can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want to meet the President of the United States.) But don't make a lame excuse in an attempt to justify your decision. Leave that for NFL refeeres.

Thanks, Fanhouse

A letter from the other side

Dear pawn,

It’s not about your fleeting money nor is it anything to do with the control of your vulnerable physical existences.  Even the most bold of you fall short of the mark of understanding what “life” is all about.  You indeed have sinned.  I used your institutions to further my ambitions.  I care not about your pitiful sexual endeavors or about your aimless quest to find “love” except for which furthers my plot.  Once you think you are in a “loving relationship” you are prepared to be corrupted seeing as how you can’t look beyond your ironclad narcissism.  Your mind becomes malleable and more suitable for invasion.  You seek to allocate provision to ensure your continued existence, not knowing, or caring, that the procedure you use is precisely what weakens your defense and capability to perceive the truth.  Your best guesses were still not close to my ultimate goal; the centralization of your ruling classes, what you call shadow governments were of no real importance, they only carried out my plans and they will eventually be destroyed as well.  I always chuckle when I consider the fact that your creator forewarned you in detail about me yet you failed to heed that warning, in fact the truth has been close to you your whole life; yet you being the weak contemptible, waste of creation you are; you deliberately ignored it in order to pursue fleeting accommodations to give you comfort in your sorry excuse for lives.  Why you were chosen is beyond me, I guess he just had a bleeding heart for wreckage.  Either way you will parish in time.  No, I have no concern for anything you have including your life.  My desires rest in something more, something not susceptible to entropy…..  

Best Wishes,

Not Real

Our President is a Dictator

dic⋅ta⋅tor 

–noun
1. a person exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession.

Its official our new US president is a dictator. Time and time again BHO and his capos have circumvented the constitution thereby making it invalid. The constitution was after all primarily a rule set put in place to control elected officials. If the elected officials decide that they no longer have to adhere to it then the only governance they have to follow is their own will and interests. Factor in the natural character flaws inherent in every human being and you've got yourself a brand spanking new dictator. In a massively bold action President Obama fired a private CEO! He then, for comic relief I think, issued a guarantee on warranties of GM and Chrysler vehicles on live television. My president personally backed my car warranty? In a related scene; last week congresswoman Michelle Bachmann asked treasury secretary Tim Geithner and Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, under what provision in the constitution, were they acting in accordance with. After several attempts at double talk and after repeating the simple question a few times the two men eventually cited the necessity of the Congress or something like that. Of course they didn't have constitutional basis for anything they are doing. This is so startling to me because the precedent has been set and states that public officials can do what ever they want as long as they deem it the best interest of the people. They can commandeer private entities, brake laws, create policy based on fake science, invalidate contracts, create czars (czars? I thought we rejected czars) bypass state governments, bully private citizens, create quasi-federal companies and all other things strictly prohibited by the constitution. Our president is a modern day dictator according to definition and his actions.

Workers of America Unite? (Labor Unions)

I don't pretend to know the plight of every man in the country.  I have difficulties figuring out my own dilemmas.  That's being said I don't know the trials or concerns that would drive people to join unions but I certainly can understand them.   I grew up in Metro-Detroit and 3 of my uncles worked at the big car production plants.  I know that they were involved with the UAW and such.  I remember that they stated concerns for their employment and basically praised the union.  That is pretty much the attitude for most of the Detroit area laborers.  These days I have a expanded point of view on the issue.  I have had an opportunity to work for a company and work closely with the owner and I see the stuff high level personnel have to deal with.  I've also done some souls searching and came to the conclusion that unions are not for me.  Why?... because it is a stab in the back!  Due to the current recession people have come to realize just how much of a privilege a job is.  I mean when you get that interview for employment and the you get the job, that employer has just done you a favor.  He has provided you with an opportunity to have some kind of standard of life, some kind of income.  Now you decide its not enough for whatever reason and you decide to form a union.  In doing so you have just told that employer that he owes you something more.  You have just joined in on federal and state actions to legislate your success.  The way I see it, the employee should be happy he has a job!  Not taking legal action to ensure you have the things you want from that employer who did you that favor so long ago.  Its equivalent to a child filling suits against his parents to get the law to allow them to stay up a couple extra hours.  Its ludicrous!   I have heard many of the arguments from the side of unions, here are 2:

1) "employees just want to have a say in their industry"

Now you always have a say under the constitution of the United States, but your say does not have to be adhered by employers.  Always remeber you were done a favor and you are employed "At-Will" that means you and the employer must both agree if you are to continue work there.

2) "executives have contracts, Rush Limbaugh has a $100 million dollar contract, why shouldn't the labor have contracts?"

Not to crush feelings but realistically you just aren' that important.  The truth is that those executives have rationing devices in the form of something that the company is willing to pay for and is usually not easily replaced.  A guy who puts attaches a door to a frame 8 hours a day is expendable, you can find one anytime anywhere.  Now finding someone to run a multi-billion dollar company is not an easy task so when you find one, you are willing to deal with his demands and his lawyers that are trying to maximize his compensation.   Additionally, companies don't have to accept the contracts of the high level executives they can always say "no thanks".  With Unions, they have the law saying "I don't care if you don't want them you must sign!"  That is TYRANNY!!!  Forcing someone into signing a contract is on the level of various dictators and mob bosses that we have all seen and know the history of.  Rush gets a $100 mil because he generates far more than that for his industry.  A assembly line man does not do anything that no-one else can do.  If they leave the company won't go under.  They won't loose tens of millions of dollars so they are NOT as important as the higher level execs.  I have also heard people say that unions help in the event of a down cycle in retaining employment.  I heard a major union rep say on the radio last night that, "when things are good the labor doesn't get the bonuses but in a down cycle they are the first to get pay cuts or layed off"......DUH!!!  Why would I fire myself or reduce my paycheck.  I created this empire.  I am the reason me and others (my employees) have a standard of life, I am important to this organization.  Now of course all workers are important in a way, but not in the bottom line kind of way.  If you want to be one of "those guys" you have to increase your skills, education and experience.  These are all things that the individual person controls.  

Some say, "well you dont know the history....unions gave us the 8 hour work day.... minimum wage...the weekend...etc"  That's true but who would sacrifice liberty to control their lives and businesses just to secure a government mandated 2 day weekend.  I'd argue that in true capitalism, some form of weekend, wage, reasonable working hours etc, would of emerged on its own as people who all wanted these things continued to quit working for the guys who make you work 7 days a week for minor duckets.  Eventually that guy would say "Hmmm.. no one wants to work here, thus I can't generate a profit.... maybe I should see what it is they want to work here"  Then that guy would sit down with some potential employees and they would come to an agreement, BUT it wouldn't be mandatory and enforced by Big Government.  If the employee decided to renege on anything he promised then laborers would just quit again.

The deal is if you don't like that conditions that your employer provides.... QUIT!  go elsewhere, move around.  Don't attempt to infringe on your employers liberty by massing courts and lawyers against them.  No-one made you start working there and no one is making you stay.  Its whats called liberty.  Freedom to make it and freedom to fail.

Why can't I love my country? (rambling)

When I was a young child I was told that America was the greatest and not to ever let anyone tell me otherwise. Today I am told that the very principles that the country I so loved, was founded on is now "un american" and "fascist".

Well I still love my country. I love the amber waves of grain and the purple mountains majesty. I mean I've spent some good QT in our beautiful country and I love everything about it and I cant imagine not having it. I mean this is not to say that other countries are bad but I like mine. I know the history well but even still this place is great.

Yet, I am left to feel as though I am some kind of conformist or moron because I appreciate the military, no... I love the military. I think they are GREAT!! I was once a troop. I get teary eyed whenever I watch WE WERE SOLDIERS or SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. My wife is currently a troop, they give us a standard of life in more ways than one. I love traditional Americans of every flavor. I mean I have met what would be called red-necks and boaters and every other kind of racial indentifier and they all are great too. I like celebrating Christmas and I like lighting fireworks on the fourty of July. I like having guns to shoot recreationally and to protect my family with. At one point I had a gun with which I used to protect this country with. I'm not going to shoot a random guy with it no more than I am going to stab a random guy with my kitchen knife. Yet I am told that the government must restrict usage of firearms to prevent crime. Sigh.... Okay well I also like the idea that the government should stay out of matters that involve private sectors. I mean I know how the govn't blows money and how they operate and I wouldn't put my life savings in one of their ventures. I like the idea that they should stay small and stick to what they do best which is proctecting life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness and not to providing those. Its not that I would mind it so much if they even had the slightest idea of how to do it but they dont. What they do know how to do is put an enemy country in it's place and make them not want it with us anymore. If I had the option I would still choose our government to handle security issues versus a private company handling that issue.

Why am I now an outsider?.... Why am I a traitor or brainwashed?

Its not perfect but its the BEST we can concieve (by we I mean people)

I'm done!

CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER PROTECTION ACTSponsored by Taxpayer Revolution

The Initiative’s Laws Will:

REQUIRE issuance of the official "CALIFORNIA BIRTH CERTIFICATE” for births to ONLY citizens and legal permanent residents. Birth to Foreign Parent document issued to all others.

STOP 18 years of WELFARE payments to illegal aliens for their U.S. born children.

ALLOW only CITIZENS AND PERMANENT LEGAL RESIDENTS eligibility for all public benefits including non-emergency and pre-natal care.

ALLOWS Homeland Security to review approved applications for federal benefits that illegal aliens are permitted to receive due to a U.S. born child. (Please see the initiative summary.)

An article in the Sacramento Bee on September 10, 2007 by Washington correspondent David Whitney summed up automatic citizenship: "Although Congress has never passed a law saying so, no president has ever ordered it, and no court has ever ruled on the issue, each of these babies automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when it takes its first breath." This is a taxpayer injustice.
Our citizen’s movement will launch the national debate we need to bring an END to "birth tourism" and AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP in the United States of America. The movement will uphold the recorded words and real intent of the authors of our Constitution. To the authors and the states which passed the 14th Amendment "subject to the jurisdiction" is to mean that citizens are born to parents who are "NOT subjects of a foreign power."The goal to stop automatic citizenship is critical toward reducing the crime problem. A major reason deported criminal illegal aliens return immediately to the United States after deportation is because they have left behind children born here. Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security, reported there are two million criminal illegal aliens.
There will never be "BORDER SECURITY" without ending automatic citizenship. Birth tourism is stealing billions from the United States taxpayers.

$1 trillion+ pork-u-lous-bill, whats next?

Well the bill passed the house. (sigh) Next is the senate. The vocal minority has had too much influence on our country. I mean the likes of Jessica Alba, Sean Penn and other individuals have somehow become the voice of the nation. This can no longer work because these celebs and non-celeb vocal minorities have no idea what the average citizen thinks because they are too busy bloviating on issues they dont understand. We have to fight back its getting close to the wire. By wire I mean point of no return, end all. Find you Senators and Congressmen: http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ and blow thier phones, fax machines, ears and anything else they use to communicate up!

Califorina where I live is on the brink of destruction! Outrageous taxes, witheld income taxes returns, layoffs, increasingly dangerous national security threat directly to the south (Mexico). All the while they are restricting gun laws, so you literally can't fight back if it goes over that cliff.

I know the sentiment is the same everywhere. We gotta fight this tyranny and force our elected officials to fight to the bitter end or die trying!

I ove this coutry but these fantasy land idealists are destroying it from the inside out and we must hold them acoountable.

Dems are actually trying to get Rush off the air!

This is amazing and exuberates the feel of state control and supremacy. Move over Kim Jong Il!

The notion that government officials would actually lauch a campaign against a private citizen is beyond precedence. Whats next... really what is next?

http://www.dccc.org/page/petition/rush

I'm not in love with Limbaugh but seriously if you remove him make SURE you take the likes of Keith Olbermann with him!

Why I have difficulties supporting the dems..

Seems they dont support human life.

PELOSI SAYS BIRTH CONTROL WILL HELP ECONOMYSun Jan 25 2009 22:13:43 ETSpeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi boldly defended a move to add birth control funding to the new economic "stimulus" package, claiming "contraception will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government." Pelosi, the mother of 5 children and 6 grandchildren, who once said, "Nothing in my life will ever, ever compare to being a mom," seemed to imply babies are somehow a burden on the treasury. The revelation came during an exchange Sunday morning on ABC's THIS WEEK.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?

PELOSI: Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So no apologies for that?

PELOSI: No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy. Developing...

Maraget Sanger also had this view on human life. As an ardent supporter of eugenics and "racial hygiene" philosphy adopted by great guys like Adolph Hitler, she also pretty much founded Planned Parenhood with an intent to limit sub standard persons from ever being born. Today it seems like some dems (primarily the popular ones, pelosi, reid etc) have taken a parallel view on life. This is the reason why I dont support democrats (among others) Of course this is just my opinion.

Anyone Shocked?

Canada Man Charged With Polygamy to Use Gay Marriage Defense
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - AP

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The lawyer for a British Columbia man charged with having 20 wives says he'll use the same-sex marriage law as a defense.
The lawyer, Blair Suffredine, says gays can marry in Canada, so why can't a man have more than one wife. The lawyer says standards have changed.
He's representing 52-year-old Winson Blackmore, leader of a polygamous group in Bountiful, in southeastern British Columbia.
He appeared in court briefly yesterday in Creston and the case was continued to Feb. 18.
Another man from a rival polygamous group in Bountiful, James Oler, also appeared in court, charged with marrying two women. Oler is a follower of Warren Jeffs and a bishop in the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month.

So I guess the plan to bribe Christian-America hating Islam Facists is a no go?

I stumbled upon this article and could only respond with an internal chuckle. I mean this Judeo-Christian vs. Islam issue is so much bigger than money and politics soon I think people with understand. I honestly cant understand what goes on in Obama's head but of course I'm no expert.

Iran Rejects Obama's 'Carrot and Stick' Proposal
Thursday, December 11, 2008
AP

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Monday rejected a proposal by President-elect Barack Obama that a combination of economic incentives and tighter sanctions might persuade the Iranian government to change its behavior.
Obama said in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" that aired Sunday that the international community could develop a set of incentives that would persuade Iran to alter its nuclear program. The U.S. and many of its allies suspect that Iran wants to develop weapons through its nuclear program, but Tehran says it is focused on power generation.
"You know, in terms of carrots, I think that we can provide economic incentives that would be helpful to a country that, despite being a net oil producer, is under enormous strain, huge inflation, a lot of unemployment problems there," said Obama.
But Iran has rejected past offers of economic incentives by the international community in exchange for scaling back its nuclear activities, a sentiment echoed Monday by Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi.
"The carrot-and-stick policy has no benefit," Qashqavi told reporters during his weekly press briefing. "It is unacceptable and failed."
Qashqavi reiterated Iran's refusal to suspend enrichment Monday and said the U.S. must recognize Iran's "nuclear right" before the country would dispel concerns about its program.
Obama also said that the U.S. should ratchet up direct diplomacy as a way to induce Iran to alter course on its nuclear program and cease support for militant groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.
The Iranian government has expressed interest in more direct talks with the U.S. but has consistently refused to alter its nuclear program as a precondition.

Instant Disdain

It amazes me how some individuals call others bigoted yet they in fact attack anyone with a different point of view. Here is an example of a clash I recently had.

Here was the accompanying text in his video:
Some pictures I took and put to what I believe to be appropriate music of protest march last nightLast night (11-07-2008) we closed down two miles of market street during the evening rush hour with our protest march against the passing of proposition-8, it passed due to lies and misinformation funded mainly by the Mormon church headquartered in Utah.I believe in the separation of church and state, and more so I believe the Mormon Church (headquartered in Utah) needs to stay out of California politics.I believe any person that supports a law saying they are better and more deserving then my self or any other people, are BIGGOTS, and the ones that use GOD to hide there BIGGOTRY are the very worst type of cowards.I believe when there time comes to try to get in to there heaven, they may have some explaining to do as to there life long policy of hate toward gods children.Hell will gladly take them, Im sure of that fact.Michael.

So I left a comment on his page and then his reply was:

phenom65 (ME)
I guess I just dont understand. If I disagree with an issue and am presented with an opportunity by means of a ballot to voice my disagreeances, why should I be called a biggot? I mean I dont see people on the other side of the prop 8 issues as biggoted, they just want their laws and communities to relfect thier beliefs. To me thats all voters did. I dont feel the need to call anyone names or belittle them especially if they want me to eventually come over to their side and support them.

MBD********
People that say to the world they are better then me and deserve things I gan not have because there religious bigotry has brain washed them into this discriminatory way of thinking are Bigots, as are you.You will never be on our side, the way we will do this is the younger un brain washed people coming into voting age that believe all people are equal.

The sad part is that I truly tried to gain an understanding from this individual.
i guess he wants to brainwash the "younger un brainwashed people" Sometimes I wonder who the real bigots are. - TFE
