It has been a while since I logged in and gave my thoughts about the condition of the United States. Its time to set the record straight.

Obama is pushing through his health care bill, convinced that he is the only one who knows what is best for the people. Little does he realize is that the American people have seen through his bombastic rhetoric and that this bill is all about the health insurance companies, not the American people. He has resorted to strong arm tactics, threats against those opposed to it and political slight of hand in order to get his way. He has forgotten that he was hired by the American people to do a job and that its a temp job at that. He has forgotten who he works for and how he was elected in the first place. By all accounts, he took less than six months to break most of his campaign promises and has ignored the will of the people. He continues to do so on a daily basis without regard for anyone.

The Catholic Church is in the midst of another sex scandal, this time right in the Vatican itself. Numerous Vatican officials have have been busted by Rome police for soliciting, recruiting and, according to news reports, operating a gay sex ring. Just how will this affect the millions of Catholics worldwide? Hopefully they’ll realize that the Catholic Church is just like any other religion, a for profit organization. In the United States they try to influence elections on both national and local levels, preaching from the pulpit just who the congregation should support. This alone is enough for them to lose their tax exempt status but politicians are afraid of making the first move. The Catholic Church is the largest in the world, only trailing Islam by a few million members, with billions of dollars in real estate. If that property was taxed, just how much money would be put into the economy? Its their way or the freeway; what kind of religion puts that kind of restraints on its members?

Millions of protesters braved adverse weather conditions nationwide to carry signs against abortion, same sex marriages, cruelty to animals, genetically altered crops, nuclear energy, trying to put a sand flea on the endangered species list or the strong arm tactics of the IRS. They protest against Columbus day, immigration, corrupt politicians, corrupt cops, legalizing marijuana, eating meat, crop circles, alien invasions, domestic spying, high credit card interest rates, all powerful banks, high unemployment and whatever else they can think of. What 99.99% of them don’t realize is that protesting never changed anything, nothing. Remember the Vietnam war and all the protests? They didn’t help end the war but did embolden the enemy and create a new breed of draft dodger.

There has been calls for a nationwide work stoppage, just don’t go to work for a day and bring the economy to a screeching halt. Ain’t gonna happen, folks. The ones it would be targeting are immune to such things simple because they’ll still collect their paycheck while you don’t. That should be a no-brainer.

Start a civil war? Well, that’s on its way as we speak, headed by state militia manned with disgruntled people just wanting to make a difference. It won’t be pretty when it happens, pitting ordinary citizens against the state and National Guard units. But will they actively engage citizen armys or hold their fire? That decision is up the individual and probably be surprising to those in command.

I have many other subjects to touch on but I’ll leave them for another day.

You know every time I pick up a newspaper or hell even go on here someone is complaining about the economy and or the national debt which is a ridicules 1.43 trillion thank you Obama. People on both sides wonder how in the hell are we ever going to pay this back. Well Warcorpse is here with the perfect solution but some of you especially conservatives might not like it. Still the economy and the debt could be fixed by legalizing three little things

1 MarijuanaFirst off I have no idea why in the hell this is illegal in the first place. I don’t smoke it myself but I don’t see why the people that do have to live in fear of enjoying something that is far less dangerous than cigarettes. Most of the people that say this should remain illegal base their opinion on  a movie called Reefer Madness showing how weed is basically like LSD something that has been proven wrong time and time again. People who smoke marijuana don’t go into violent rages or have a hallucinogenic reactions unless it’s been laced with something else. And you wouldn’t get laced shit IF IT WERE FUCKING LEGALIZED! So here’s a thought legalize something that’s less addictive and less destructive than booze and guess what you got yourself BILLIONS of dollars in new tax revenue.

Prostitution. Yes I said it legalize the worlds oldest profession and hell you might create Trillions of dollars in new tax revenue. And there’s a million GOOD reasons why it should be legal. 1 It’s MUCH safer for the girls or guys that do this job. 2 It can be regulated so that minors aren’t involved and that the risk of STD’s goes way down. 3 All the crime that goes along with it goes away and you lower the cost of running the courts that deal with bullshit cases like this. 4 It’s been legal in America far longer than it’s been criminalized. Now the reason it’s criminalized is because of some people’s morale values and religious belief. Most of these people feel the need to ram their values down other people’s throats and to make sure everyone else lives the life they want. Hey I thought this was America and if I want to go to a cat house who in the hell are you to tell me that I can’t. We have freedom of religion in this country why in the hell are other people’s morale values interfering with my life.

3 Gambling With the advent of the Internet and current opinions this is just fucking stupid that this remain illegal. Once again billions of dollars could be generated. Most states have Indian casinos anyway so there already there and guess what America hasn’t ended now has it. I’m not even going to prove my point this time go to the PPA’s website and read their material

Well there you go 3 simple things that don’t hurt anyone else. Activities that are for adults only so don’t give me the save the fucking children rant. They won’t cause the downfall of mankind and you know what if you don’t want to partake in them then DON’T. But just because you are opposed to it you don’t have the right to tell other people they can’t participate in the three activities. And guess what you would have a shitload of new revenue to pay the national debt and maybe save social security

Yes a man who was light years ahead of his time penned this opening to one of the MOST influential documents ever written in history.

Sadly, today this means nothing to the elected officials governing our once great country. No it didn’t start sliding downhill when the Novelty Obama-nation uttered the statement, “We live in the greatest country in the world; help me change it, but that non hacker sure as fuck hasn’t HELPED things out a whole lot has he?

Motherfuckers (and father fuckers for you ladies who feel left out when I say it) Are lining up to defend this shitbird with statements like “No one can expect him to deliver on all of his campaign promises”. Then WHY the FUCK was he elected by a majority vote? If it doen’t matter what they say, why aren’t we picking a President’s name out of a fucking Fez? (Yeah a turban would just be a freaking hand towel with a bunch of clumps of paper inside it wouldn’t it?)

I’m getting off track here. HEALTH CARE for ALL should be FOR all not just one for us and one for them. I’f I’m having their shit crammed down my throat then at least tell me that they are getting the same lack of condiments that I am. REGULATIONS and REFORM are what the current System needs and not a Socialist, Eastern Block replacement for it.

While we’re at it, lets think about this. Nancy Pelosi and the fucking DNC is all over this shit about Leveling out the WEALTH of the nation. Lets call this what it REALLY is. They want You and I to be in the poorest 85% of the nation so THEY can be in the RICHEST 15% (if they will allow that many people to be as “privileged” as they are for being good enough to get you fucking moronic, mouth breathing masses to vote them into office.

“From Each According to His Abilities and To Each According to His Needs” is the mantra that these fuckaholics are chanting and the Public is chewing that up like it is a NEW concept. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov brought forth REFORM via these means in a little place that used to be called Russia with these EXACT words.

The FIRST thing that these radicals who wish to infringe upon OUR Inalienable Rights do is to take away the guns of the people that they wish to enslave.

Amendment 2 - Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

This was written by men who had to shed blood to have the right to protect themselves from all enemies Foreign AND Domestic.

Hitler immediately took away every gun from the Jews and I hope you fucking idiots do remember what happened to them during his rise to power. NOW the Democrats have sought to take guns out of the hands of the people for many years and they always come back to the same thing. They SAY it is for OUR own good so that “Criminals” cannot get their hands on guns to harm us. WAKE THE FUCK UP. They are the criminals that wish to enslave YOU and make you work so that you get just enough to get by and they get MORE than they can possibly expect their grandchildren to be able to spend. if GUNS are so BAD, why are these people all Guarded by agents who have them?

AGAIN… WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! Our society is being dumbed down by the lack of a true Education System. Our Wages and Income are being attacked, we are being led like lambs to the slaughter and the apathy and brainwashing that our leaders MUST be right just because they hold that position is sickening.

We are soon going to need a Revolution to get the Government out of our wallets, schools, and privacy of our own bedrooms because the MASSES can no longer think for themselves or ask the simple questions and react to the answers that are given to them rather than just going with the flow.

I can no longer sit idly by and watch the destruction of the greatest nation in the world. Who has the guts to speak out with me?

It’s been a while since I’ve been here to spread my insights of great ponderence, but this made me take pause and write.  So, a potentially racist situation goes down that results in a man’s arrest and Barack Obama immediately comes to the defense of his friend…Yale Professor of African Studies, Henry Louis Gates in the midst of the frey.

It has been an unnecessary crap storm if you will, that Obama has backed himself into regarding this incident having not been availed of the proper facts.  I’ve heard it said that there were mostly egos involved that got out of hand.  It is more a case of ONE ego, that of Professor Gates.  As the police reports have stated, Gates became belligerent the moment the white officer (there was also a black and Hispanic officer on the scene, as well) began asking routine questions that one would ask on a B&E (breaking and entering) call (i.e. Is there anyone else in the house? May we look around?, etc.).  These are all standard procedure for a call of this nature.  However, the YALE professor felt it beneath him to be questioned in any manner regarding suspicion of any kind. The “educated” and I believe correct response would have been…”Thank you for coming to my home when called in regard to something this serious. Certainly, you may check around. I’m happy to do whatever I can to help rectify any misunderstanding by the neighbor as well as the police department. In fact, I probably should thank the neighbor for his conscientiousness, as well.”

Instead, he was most likely irritable when the officers arrived, having been absent minded enough to lock himself out of his home. That disgruntled attitude (coupled with a predisposition toward racism as an African Studies Prof.) then manifest itself in the form of indignant arrogance toward an innocent officer who was simply trying to do his job.  In order for this to be even remotely considered racial profiling, Gates would have to have been randomly stopped.  This was a B&E call, plain and simple.  When the officer asked for Gates’ ID, he went ballistic prior to complying with the officer’s request. Then the officer was satisfied and began to leave with the other officers and Gates continued to berate and malign the officer all the way to the front door with racial epithets. The officer warned him to let it go and asked him to stand down.  Gates refused and the officer took out his cuffs and warned him a last time.  Gates, was relentless and as a result was arrested.  The only reason that the charges were dropped, in my opinion, is because not only was race introduced (by Gates) but also, because he is a high profile individual. It’s bad press for the department any way you look at it and the higher ups don’t need Obama’s camp looking down at their fair city.  They had no choice, even though it would have been a simple misdemeanor.

Adding insult to injury, Obama proceeded to call the officer “stupid” without having read even so much as a newsclipping on the incident.  The educated and proper response here, in my opinion, should have been…”I have not read the police report on the incident so, I won’t speculate and will reserve my comments until such time.”  His arrogance wouldn’t let him do that.  Instead, he chose to get out ahead of the situation and make it about defense of a friend over defense of the facts.

In closing, what this said to me is that both Gates and his buddy Barack arrogantly overstated their cases.  It continues to be revealed that Obama has some pretty outspoken friends (Rev. Wright, communist party devotees, etc.).  Being outspoken is not a bad thing in and of itself, mind you.  However, the destructive words of an outspoken person who is not intent on speaking words that teach, heal or inform for the progression and edification of the whole over self…is quite dangerous.  This further indicates to me that birds of a feather flock together. These “friends” of Obama’s that continue to pop up can only cause one to think…Who is the real man beneath the spit and polished President?  Is there an outspoken radical buried someplace deep down in there who thinks that every irresponsible, harsh and divisive situation can be excused and brushed off by simply sitting down and sharing a beer together?  Great idea, until the beer starts talking…then what?  Seriously, though, Obama and other educated black men such as himself have a huge responsibility to speak intelligently to such issues as racism…not perpetuate its destructiveness themsevles by viewing every given incident from a racially-motivate point of view absent of the facts.      

That’s my take.

Benman out!

Conservative Republican, Mark Sanford, governor of South Carolina, recently told his staff he needed to clear his head and then disappeared for 7 days. Today, Sanford admitted he secretly flew to Argentina to visit a women he’d been having an extramarital affair with. During a press conference, Sanford resigned as President of the Republican Governor’s Association. Should Sanford also resign from being governor like Eliot Spitzer of New York did when he got caught cheating on his wife with a prostitute? Which is a worse offense to a marriage…Having a lengthy affair or having sex with a prostitute? Normally, I would say, “Sanford’s affair is between him and his wife, so leave them the hell alone.” But what bothers me most about Sanford is his hypocrisy. During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Sanford voted for 3 of 4 articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton citing the need for “moral legitimacy.” Now that Sanford has been caught cheating, he suddenly seems to have a lower standard for himself.

I vacationed in Argentina recently and I can tell you first hand, the women down there really know how to tango. I even photographed some of the many great dance performances I was impressed with. Since I’m not married, I’m glad I don’t need to try and keep my trip a secret.  In fact, I had such a good time, I’m tempted to snow bird down there for a few months next winter. The American dollar currently goes very far in Argentina and exchanges for almost 4 pesos to 1. For example, It was easy to get a complete steak dinner at a restaurant for 12 pesos which is only about 3 dollars in American money.  Cab rides to most places in Buenos Aires are only about $2. As far as getting by with English goes, I had no problem. Most of the people I wanted to talk to spoke enough basic English for us to communicate. If I was married, I would definitely take my wife with me. With the great exchange rate, it would be easy to spoil her with nice hotels and amazing shopping opportunities.

Getting back to politics, while Mark Sanford was being romantic with his mistress, he probably kissed his shot at winning the next republican nomination for the presidency goodbye. I don’t think anyone wants a republican version of John Edwards running around. I guess the remaining contenders are Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich. While Huckabee and Romney have many admirable qualities, I think Gingrich has the best chance of winning. Sorry to Sarah Palin fans- I’m glad she’s governor of Alaska because of her efforts to increase energy production (while the democrats aren’t doing enough to free us from Middle East oil), but even though Palin is charismatic and can do a great job delivering a speech, I think the presidency is out of her league.  Unlike Palin, Gingrich has vast depth of knowledge about complicated issues our country has to deal with and he constantly works on finding solutions.

As of this date, which republican politician would you prefer to see leading the ticket in 2012?

Are you fuckers happy yet?

The Democratic National Committee and the media Propped a lying Novelty in front of the American public and they jumped on it like it was going to help get their sheets and colored laundry brighter and more shiney than EVER before.

You, as in the American Public, are the stupidest set of fucking retards on the planet because you fall for this shit over and over again. You were promised that 5 million people that were about to lose their homes would be helped by Novelty Presidential Candidate Obama.

In MAY 464,983 foreclosures occurred out of 3.2 million possible. 19,041were modified and saved from foreclosure. That is 15% foreclosed upon and a WHPPING 6% that weren’t. One quarter of those 19,000 actually had their payments GO UP!!

Literally for every ONE dollar saved by modifications, there are One hundred and Fifty Dollars lost to foreclosure because the parameters of the modifications that the Government will allow are not condusive to the reasons that people are behind in the mortgage to begin with.

You cannot get a loan modification if:
• You have lost your job
• You owe more than 5% above what your house is worth
• You are already in default
• You have not yet missed at least one payment
• Your lender does not want to participate
• Your mortgage is not one of the half of all mortgages insured or owned by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
• The reworked mortgage payment would come to more than 31% of your income
• Your mortgage is over $759,000
• The home is not your primary residence

Sweden’s Government actually BOUGHT the mortgages of their citizens that were in distress and reworked the payments to reflect what the owner COULD pay them. The people will have to pay the government back once the economy is mended or sell the house. If they do neither then of course the government would then foreclose of course. The Democrats will NEVER entertain this type of program since it would actually SOLVE the problem without any COST to the taxpayers or throwing money at their friends. THEY would be the ones foreclosing on the houses eventually instead of being able to blame the banks and proliferate the EVIL Corporations lie.

*Hint* have you heard another word from the Obama Nation about mortgages? I doubt that you will either.

Is this the kind of Change YOU can believe in?

Jokes made by David Letterman about Sarah Palin’s recent trip to New York have caused heated responses from Palin, her husband and her supporters.

In case you didn’t watch Letterman’s “Late Show,” here are the “Top 10 Highlights of Sara Palin’s Trip To New York City.”  10. Visited New York landmarks she normally sees from Alaska.  9. Laughed at all the crazy looking foreigners entering the U.N.  8. Made moose jerky on Rachael Ray.  7. Keyed Tina Fey’s car.  6. After a wink and a nod, ended up with a kilo of crack.  5. Made a coat out of New York city rat pelts.  4. Sat in for Kelly Ripa. Regis couldn’t tell the difference.  3. Finally met one of those Jewish people Mel Gibson’s always talking about. 2. Bought makeup from Bloomingdale’s to update her slutty flight attendant look.  1. Especially enjoyed not appearing on Letterman.

Letterman also told jokes about Palin’s daughter. During his monologue, Letterman referred to Palin’s appearance at a Yankees game and joked, “There was an awkward moment in the 7th inning when Palin’s daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.”

Letterman ended up apologizing to Palin. He also invited Palin and her husband to appear on his show. Do you think an apology was necessary?

I only thought 3 of Letterman’s jokes were funny and some of them were downright lame. But what really bothers me is the hypocrisy of the criticism by conservative media. On Fox T.V. today, conservative Republican, Laura Ingraham appeared on the Bill O’Reilly show and criticized Letterman for mocking and making fun of Palin. It seems to me, it wasn’t that long ago, when Ingraham was criticized for mocking and making fun of John McCain’s daughter. Conservative comedian Dennis Miller regularly appears on the O’Reilly show where he often mocks and makes fun of Democrat, Nancy Pelosi. And O’Reilly always cheers Miller on.

I must admit, I’m not a big fan of Sarah Palin. She’s way too conservative for me. I’m not a big fan of Nancy Pelosi either. She’s way too liberal. I’m glad the percentage of us independents is getting bigger. Perhaps if we had three political parties instead of the two lousy ones which have been ruining the country, we would be better off.

As far as political humor goes, newspaper cartoonists have been making fun of politicians for hundreds of years. What’s the big deal. We’re supposed to have freedom of speech. Humor about politicians often contains valid criticism and reveals certain truths an informed public should know about.

As long as politicians in both parties get roasted, I don’t see any threat to democracy. Letterman doesn’t just make jokes about Sarah Palin. I don’t watch him very often - But I’m sure I’ve heard him make jokes about Vice President Biden and other democrats. I prefer to watch Leno and he always makes jokes about the president, no matter what party is in the White House.

In fact, Leno still makes lots of jokes about Bill Clinton’s infidelity and George Bush’s lack of intelligence. And they are usually pretty funny… Nice try Dave.

Sorry; this is a terrible thing to do. (post something without saying anything) But I don’t have time to write - have to mow my lawn before someone here shoots me

Anwways, this website (links below) is worth checking out. It’s  a wealth of information for anyone who bothers to look beyond anything.

Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the regular stupid shit that we are constantly inundated with. Any of the above links will take you out of stupid mode for a while, incase you need a break.

I’d like to *link* some of the comments he made in his “swansong” (above link) to some of my opinions about the fucked up medical industry in the usa, the piece-of-shit pharmeceudical industry ( biggest drug cartel in the world) which is really running this country (in my own ignorant, illiterate , unresearched opinion), The bastard judge in Minneapolis who, in a court ruling tookaway the rights of the parents of Daniel Hauser to chose their sons medical treatment (for his cancer - do they have insurance? I wonder…who’s paying for that ruling? and what will this ruling be a precident for?) and the dumb ass people in general who allow themselves to be lead by the nose,  questioning nothing…but, like I said, I have to mow my lawn…

This is something that all most gave me a heart attack! there is currently a bill in the house it might have been defeated already but it was to limit the amount of news that would be available on the web or the amount of news a newspaper can place on the web I BELIEVE I could be dead wrong. Or it was something close to that.

First off the law itself is totaly uncontitional it violates the first amendment and it violates the free enterprise system. If you’re a bussiness it’s your choice weather you sell items at a store or you sell them online from a warehouse. NOT THE GOVERMENTS!

Now what’s even more surprising is the number of people that support the law, I’m not sure of the age demographic but they want it passed and basically progress stopped. They claim that we have to protect the newspaper! WHY! Back before TV every paper had at least two editions a day the morning paper and the evening paper and if there was something important going on you’d have the extra editions. Do we have that anymore no we don’t why because TV made multiple editions of the paper obsolete. there used to be sitcoms on the radio and they quickly died when TV came once again progress.

Now I like the paper myself and I’ll keep getting it until I know inevitably my paper goes totally online. It’s going to happen it doesn’t take a genius to figure out which way the wind is blowing on this. I mean especially in this recession why in the hell would anyone pay 50 cents a day for something they can read online for relatively free. It’s called progress people accept it. Everything in the universe has a beginning and an end. There are no exceptions to this rule and the print newspaper is reaching its end 

PS Normally I do a little more reshearch on a subject before I flame off about it. If anyone has any more specifics about that said law please leave a comment. All I had to go on was a little thing in my Op-Ex section of the paper. I still do think that the law never even made it to a vote in the house
