Quotes of the Day

"Most of our country's serious problems can be laid at the feet of Congress and the White House and not at capitalism. Take the financial crisis. One-third of the $15 trillion of mortgages in existence in 2008 are owned, or securitized by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae, the Federal Housing and the Veterans Administration. Banks didn't mind making risky loans and Wall Street buyers didn't mind buying these repackaged loans because they assumed that they would be guaranteed by the federal government: read bailout by taxpayers. Under a capitalist system, financial institutions would not have been intimidated or encouraged into making risky loans and neither would they have been bailed out if they did so. Social Security, Medicare and its coverage of prescription drugs have an unfunded liability that exceeds $100 trillion. When those roosters come home to roost, they will make the financial meltdown we've been though look like child's play. Not withstanding all of the demagoguery, it is capitalism not socialism that made us a great country and it's socialism that will be our undoing." -- Walter Williams


"I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country." --President Andrew Jackson

A Speech for the Century

The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech before the U.N. yesterday that may stand in the annals of oratory as one of the best ever delivered. The simple truth was all that was delivered, that, and the simple charge for the U.N. to live up to it's own charter.

I hope along with Mr. Netanyahu that Winston Churchill was incorrect when he talked of the "confirmed unteachability of mankind" and the "want of foresight, the unwillingness to act when action will be simple and effective, the lack of clear thinking, the confusion of counsel until emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong.”

Surely we have progressed in the intervening 6 decades ? I would like to think so, even in the face of the incontrovertible evidence present all around us that we really haven't progressed as far as we should have hoped. It seems it's an all too human trait to not confront Evil until it has gained enough power to affect us on a global scale in terms of the consequences.

Red Skelton Pledge

I had heard this explanation of the Pledge when it was first aired on Mr. Skeltons show when I was a boy.
Someone in my Second Amendment group sent it as an attachment to the group, and I found that it moved me even more today than when I was a boy. Please listen and if you would, send it on to your friends, we need this reminder more than we ever have before.

AN ITALIAN BOY'S CONFESSION

'Bless me Father, for I have sinned.

I have been with a loose girl'.

The priest asks, 'Is that you, little Joey Pagano ?'

'Yes, Father, it is.'


'And who was the girl you were with?'


'I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation'.


"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later
so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'


'I cannot say.'


'Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?'


'I'll never tell.'


'Was it Nina Capelli?'


'I'm sorry, but I cannot name her.'


'Was it Cathy Piriano?'


'My lips are sealed.'


'Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?'


'Please, Father, I cannot tell you.'


The priest sighs in frustration.

'You're very tight lipped, and I admire that.
But you've sinned and have to atone.
You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months.
Now you go and behave yourself.'


Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,

'What'd you get?'



'Four months vacation and five good leads.'

Quote of the Day

"An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself... A murderer is less to fear." --Marcus Tullius Cicero

My new GMC truck !!!


I bought a new GMC Sierra and returned to the dealer yesterday because I
couldn't get the radio to work.
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.


'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio.The radio replied, 'Ricky or
Willie?' 'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again' came from the
speakers.

Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant ' Georgia On My Mind'
replaced Willie Nelson.

I drove away happy, and for the next few days, every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,' I'd get beautiful
classical music, and if I said, 'Beatles,' I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, some guys ran a red light and nearly creamed my new truck, but I swerved in
time to avoid them. I yelled, 'Ass Holes! '

There was a short pitch on National Health Care by Obama, immediately followed by the Iranian
National Anthem, sung by Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand, backed up by Michael Moore and The Dixie
Chicks, with John Kerry on guitar, Al Gore on drums, Dan Rather on harmonica, Nancy Pelosi on
tambourine, Harry Reid on spoons, Bill Clinton on sax and Ted Kennedy On Scotch.

Damn, I LOVE this truck!

And then the fight started!

My wife sat down on the settee next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?'

I said, 'Dust.'

And then the fight started...
******************************************


My wife and I were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to have sex?"

"No," she answered.

I then said, "Is that your final answer?"

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, "Yes."

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And then the fight started....
******************************************


Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."

My loving wife of 5 years replied, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started...
******************************************


I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car. You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, "I AM NOT HAPPY!!!"

So, I looked down at him and said, "Well, then which one are you?"

And then the fight started.....
*****************************************


My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary. She said, 'I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds.'

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started...
******************************************


When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her some place expensive... so, I took her to a petrol station.

And then the fight started...
******************************************


After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's License to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.'

And then the fight started...
******************************************


My wife and I were sitting at a table at my school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, 'Do you know her?'

'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'

'My God!' says my wife, 'who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'

And then the fight started...
******************************************


I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some reason took my order first. "I'll have the steak, medium rare, please."

He said, "Aren't you worried about the mad cow?""

Nah, she can order for herself."

And then the fight started...
******************************************


A woman was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to her husband, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly.. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'

The husband replied, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect.'

And then the fight started!

National POW/MIA Recognition Day

Photobucket

Today I rode my 16th Mission with the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders. The mission was to stand a flag line in honor of the 1,741 men and women still on the POW/MIA list from the Vietnam War.

This day was first recognized on July 18, 1979. National POW-MIA Recognition Day legislation was introduced yearly until 1996 when it was deemed by Congress that legislation designating special commemorative days would no longer be considered by Congress. The President now signs a proclamation every year.

The National League of Families proposed that the third Friday in September be the designated date in the future, due to the fact that that date is no associated with any particular war, so that former POW's -MIA's, KIA's and veterans of ALL wars can be remembered and honored for their sacrifices.

I really felt honored to be able to participate in this solemn ceremony. The ships bell of the U.S.S. Indianapolis was rung five times for each of the Armed Services as a wreath was laid to honor that Service's lost/missing members. That bell rang loud and proud, and there was more than one tearful eye in the crowd.
When the Black Hawk (GO ARMY!) flyover flew over the assembled dignitaries to signal the conclusion of the ceremony, it couldn't help but make one one feel proud to have been a part of the proceedings, in however small a way.

I intend to participate every year in this mission, until every last one of our Men and Women are accounted for.
I hope you will join us.

R.I.P. ACORN

Finally, Congress might be actually be responding to corruption in a political organization.

Take note of the 75 that voted to keep to "business as usual" and remember them in the next election..

WTF?

Teh WON wants to negotiate with a fanatic like this?!?

When even the Old Grey Lady prints the truth about such a wacko as Ahmadinejad, when they are generally apologists for dictators of every stripe, you KNOW you're on the fringe when you seriously try to negotiate with such extremists.

Seems that in his Hopey-Changetude world, Obambi is willing to risk our allies to appease the rabid dog heading up Iran.

Let's see...appeasing enemies inimical to our way of life by exposing our allies to nuclear blackmail...yep, really fine strategic thinking there!
It's like throwing your brother in front of an attacking hungry bear in the hope that he'll be satisfied with that meal and not come after you...

9-11 Remembered

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Today is the 8Th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in our Nations life. It should be a day to remember those that died and those heroes that risked their lives in the aftermath of the single most heinous crime yet committed in the 21St Century. Mr. Obama, in a blatantly obvious way, wants to re-brand the day into a "National Day of Service"....of course isn't that the focus of all public events for a Socialist ? I have no problem with having a National Day of Service..say on 9/12, or 9/10. I just object taking what should be a day of memorials and mourning to one of "what can YOU do for the State today?" We can celebrate service to our fellow Citizens on any day, but is just isn't appropriate on this day of all days, 9/11; that Mr. Obama would try to refocus attention to his own agenda is a sign of his overweening hubris, and the contempt he feels for the average American citizen.

Just as the hue and cry went up after Dec. 7, 1941; we should NEVER. FORGET what happened on that sunny morning in September 11, 2001, in New York at the Twin Towers,

Photobucket

in Washington at the Pentagon,

Photobucket

and, most especially, in a farmer's field in Pennsylvania.

Photobucket

Fly your flags, say a prayer for the fallen, remind your neighbors and teach your children what happened on this date, but most of all:


NEVER FORGET

From tiny ACORNS grow huge corruption

And THESE are the people that Obama wants to conduct the National Census, and voter registration, not to mention millions of dollars in administering housing for the poor ?!?

The women in these videos are engaging in at least SEVEN felony crimes, among them are tax evasion, promoting prostitution, conspiracy to promote prostitution, conspiracy to commit human trafficking, conspiracy to commit those felonies, and tax fraud and tax evasion.

And that's leaving out the possible campaign fraud that was discussed.
These videos definitely provide some small insight into just what type of organization ACORN really is. As was noted at the end of the second video, ACORN has already received over $53,000,000. for it's activities, and if everything goes as Obama proposes, that's chickenfeed compared to the BILLIONS of dollars to be given for various activities in the future.

That is YOUR tax money we're talking about here America...are you going to just let it happen? If you don't speak up NOW, you will deserve the skinning that you are about to get by these thugs.

Oh Yeah...


A U.S. Marine squad was marching north of Fallujah when they came upon an Iraqi terrorist, badly injured and unconscious. On the opposite side of the road was an American Marine in a similar but less serious state. The Marine was conscious and alert and as first aid was given to both men, the squad leader asked the injured Marine what had happened.


The Marine reported, "I was heavily armed and moving north along the highway here, and coming south was a heavily armed insurgent. We saw each other and both took cover in the ditches along the road. I yelled to him that Saddam Hussein was a miserable, lowlife scum bag who got what he deserved, and he yelled back that Ted Kennedy is a fat, good-for-nothing, left wing liberal drunk who doesn't know how to drive. So I said that Osama Bin Laden dresses and acts like a frigid, mean-spirited lesbian! He retaliated by yelling, "Oh yeah? Well, so does Nancy Pelosi!"


"And, there we were, in the middle of the road, shaking hands, when a truck hit us."
