I  thought I was your only Kitten....;)

...also hmmmmmm....an ad for pet driver license, really????? Sounds a little Liberal to me.

New Rant about Tea Partiers

Is it just me, or does the Tea Party people think that they own the country? Last time I checked, they didn't. They don't even coordinate. I am sure they don't think things through.

Ben Stein said that the Tea Party guys are way off base for demanding deeper cuts. I agree with Ben Stein. If we were to cut off spending the way some of the Tea Partiers envision, we would be putting too many people out of work. People who would vote against the Tea Party candidates. People who would have loads of time on their hands to vote down a Tea Party candidate.

Look down to see the comments. Over half of them think it is easy to cut. What they don't realize, most of the budget is on entitlements like social security, pensions, medicare, medicaid, welfare and the like. Direct payments to people.

This pie chart shows just what the budget spends. Now, if we do cut out a good portion of this by slashing everything, there better be a full two years before a new election. Otherwise there is going to be a huge group of people pissed off. Most of them will vote TEA partiers out in a second.

Right now, we have the elected Democrats in a precarious position. They have made too many changes. They have been too restrictive towards all businesses except their select few. They have been arrogant and unresponsive. And they have threatened the businesses who haven't left with more regs and taxes.

This has demoralized their base and destroyed most of the good will they have accumulated over the years. Now, we have the Tea Partiers and the recipients of government largess. If the recipients of government largess get in their minds that voting against Tea Party Candidates keeps their goodies coming (and so far they haven't), they will make sure that the ones that promise the goodies stay in charge.

The Tea Partiers still don't have a chance in hell if the people who usually stay at home and don't vote but get most of the money decide that it is time to flex their muscle. The bad economy and the poor employment rate and the stupid things said by the Democrats have combined to create the notion that the Democrats shouldn't be running this country. That can change overnight.

The Tea Party is the largest winner so far, but in truth it has been long PR campaign. Forcing the US to default is not too bright just a year and four months out. It give the Democrats time and room to portray the Tea Party People as loons. A fantastic beautiful uprising will have been wasted because these people can't restrain themselves.

Concealed Carry Laws

Concealed Carry Laws usually involve the applicant supplicating the state for the permission to carry a hidden fire arm. It is promoted as a safety thing, a data record of people who could possibly be carrying a gun for the cops. It is so that cops won't hassle people who feel it is necessary for them to carry a concealed weapon. A taxi driver for instance.

It usually involves onerous responsibilities for the supplicant to carry out while in order to keep a hidden gun. One is announcing to any cop who approaches that he is armed. Dumb question, Doesn't that fly in the face of common sense. A person goes through expensive training and effort to obtain a permit. He or she then allows personal information on to a data base accessible to any cop (assuming the cop can read) on the fly with the computers that permeate our culture now. Why does this person need to tell the cop then? Safety says the general public. Safety for who? Safety for the Cop. He is supposed to know this, he has it available. Ah, maybe he really doesn't know. Why then the coolio database and the rigamarole of training courses if the cops aren't going to access it? Kinda stupid hunh? Also kinda stupid for the cop to not assume that the person he is stopping doesn't have a gun. The cop is paid for risking his life. No one held a gun to his head or threatened legal action if he didn't take the job on the police force. Also, I haven't heard that there is a draft for police men. So, why the overblown concern for the safety of an officer?

I understand that the cop is in a tough situation. He is being asked to blindly stop people when he sees something that is amiss. But is he really that blind? Something is amiss. Out of the ordinary. Car tags out of date, a woman standing outside a car late at night, a car with a driver matching the description of a bank robber. Surely a cop doesn't stop a car simply to stop a car. So the cop isn't that blind. I do think the cops sometimes are willfully ignorant, but that is something for a later date.

As it stands right now, if a cop stops a CCW person, and the person doesn't immediately tell the cop he or she has a gun, then the cop has the right to arrest this person and take him to jail. This is assuming the cop has given the person a chance to announce to all and sundry the fact that he is carrying a concealed weapon. A fact that the person had wished kept silent, for what else the need to have a concealed weapon.

How soon is immediate? Two nano-seconds? Three? Five? Or is it in seconds? Minutes? Hours? At first possible chance? Kind of gray area there.

What happens if he forgets, the cop doesn't see the gun and nothing was found to be out of order? Then he informs the cop that he has a ccw permit. Can the cop arrest him then? Should the cop arrest him? Nothing else was found amiss. It is a technical violation of a questionable statute.

I also have a problem with the asking of a state the permission to carry a weapon. Concealed or not.

Consider the 2nd amendment of the United States Constitution. 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.

At no point in this amendment is there an exception about weapons concealed or not. To be a little fair, it was assumed back then that the stupid man was the one who didn't carry a gun.

The demand that people apply for a concealed carry weapons permit is a liberal nostrom usually with some sort of skid in it that makes the permittee work overtime in getting it. The skid is to stop people from getting and bearing guns. Or make it normal for a person to "ask the state" permission for a right they already have. It then makes it easier intellectually for the state to demand they give up their guns.

Just how much control do the liberals have?

Here is a dumb thought. I am beginning to wonder just how much control do liberals have in this world?

As more and more people are getting promoted, more and more companies are giving to the DNC why is that?

Companies are supposed to be against big Government, are supposed to be for less regulation. You would think that they would naturally be giving to the party that most recognize that. I think that it is because of the education the majority of people get.

I say that when a company starts losing money is when it has more liberals running it than conservatives.

All my life, I have been told repeatedly that an college education is the ticket to a good job etc. etc. etc. Yet, I have never ever seen it. I know that I dropped out of college because I was required to be enrolled in courses that I didn't want. They are called requirements. I can see a requirement for calculus for engineering, but I didn't see the requirement for Chinese culture is needed.

It is called rounding out your education, but is it really needed? Exposure to foreign cultures? Our country, until just recently, has been the envy of the world. I can understand needing exposure to foreign cultures if you are going to move there to run a company, but I don't understand the need if you aren't.

Potential Dictator!?

There is a three pronged approach that Obama is taking.

First: Cap and Trade ---> Attack on Capitalism. If successful, it creates a permanent unemployed class.

Second: Healthcare ---> Attack on Liberty. If successful, it controls the citizens of this country.

Third: Creation of an Army Answerable only to Obama ---> If successful, it gives Obama personal power to take care of people who won't obey.

I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory, but bear with me.

Cap and Trade has passed in the House. It is now stalled in the senate. Hopefully it won't pass.

Healthcare is stalled completely, but it hasn't died yet. It looks like Obama is going to try to appeal to the american people on Wednesday.

The Army has most of it's Czars in place. All that is needed is a creation of the rank and file. Here Obama has the Serve Act. It creates 250,000 volunteer army.

I believe that Obama has the potential to be Dictator in my lifetime.

This is not a theory.

The silver lining in the clouds over the United States is that we have a history of personal liberty and a hatred of dictators, whether they are kings, emperors or dictators.

We are a resilient bunch. We solve our problems prior to the government getting involved. Indeed, we prefer that the government not ever to get involved.

Why I haven't been posting.

I married Karen Rhena Potter on April 10 this year.

This is really the first time I have returned to this blog.

Most of my time has been spent getting used to married life. It is unexpectedly easy in some ways and hard in others.

If anyone wants to post here, be my guest.

Slighty Depressing Thought

Thought crimes, Hate speech, Fairness doctrine.

Most people don't fully understand the ramifications of these concepts.

Here are some ideas that may help.

Thought crime. How can it be proved?

Hate speech, Who can know what is in one's heart?

Fairness Doctrine, why stifle any speech?

Red State

I know I know, I go on about them, but...........Still, Lately they have gotten better. Hopefully it will continue. I am holding out hope for them.

I noticed something very interesting About REDSTATE and Big Hollywood

Red State Does not allow people who are not of the same Ideological bent to post. The only ones allowed are people who don't "upset" the stodgy ones.

What I mean is that they allow some people to post, but a simple perusal of who actually post are not allowed to say or do anything that could possibly be interesting for any length of time.

It is a vanity blog for Erick Erickson, Moe Lane, E. Pluribus Unum etc......

I perused that site for some time, and now I don't go to it, partly because they blocked my primary browser which I am changing and because they are only going over things I have already seen.

I mean Fark.com is a better site and that site is more interesting and informative than Red State ever could be.

I don't know whether I will go back there to post. I go back to see them flounder all over the place and that they still slam our best chance for a comeback. Jindal and Palin.

I just went through Rush's Stack of stuff.

Evidently he feels that Red State is not that important. Hehehehe. Wow. I nailed it. I think that I fell into a bloggers stop off and .......................Really isn't that important. Only to themselves.

I have been trying to find instances in current news et al and whoa. Nothing from Red State.

Could it be that it is just a big vanity blog? Could it be just vanity, and nothing else?

What exactly has Red State done for the country. BreitBart.tv does more in one day.

No wonder Alfonzo has started to post on BreitBart's Big Hollywood. No one of importance reads RedState.

I think they have done me a huge favor for kicking me out. Hehehehe.

Finally something Interesting and New on RedState

It is an article that compares the preceding election and actions to the election and actions of the Nazi Movement in Germany.

It seems that this author, nickname, achance, has got it exactly right. What does bother me is that none of the "more" Important people, Moe Lane, and Erik Erickson are recommending it.

Seems that they aren't on the band wagon. But then again, I am not happy with Red State anyway.

Achance's Article is "Gleichschaltung, a German word We should Understand"

It is very clean and well thought out. The only defect is one of omission. Inadvertant, but important. The have been no facists right wing regimes. They all start from the left.

And Communists don't learn from their mistakes. If they did, we would not have communists.

The State of the Union

Well, it is coming up to the State of the Union Address. Will Obama say this? Or will he say that?

You can bet your bottom dollar that he will be on the side of losers, ne'erdowells, whiners and racists. He will state in unequivocable terms that too many people have not participated in the American Dream and it is the patriotic duty for those better off to help their fellow man. His losers, ne'erdowells, whiners and racists.


You can also bet that the propaganda arm of the country, I.E. MainStreamMedia, will fully support anything he burps out. (I wanted to say it came from another orifice, but decorum is the operative word here today.)

What is it with those guys? MSM has been in the tank for Obama since last year and still hasn't come out of Obama's second orifice for sounds. Oh well, I guess they are thinking that since they are there it serves as a anal exam for the rest of us.

Every time I have to listen to him, I turn him off. Well, he will bring the Democrat party down to the has been level.

This is the GLORY OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY doncha know?

A socialist with a chip on his shoulder. A jerkwad who spends too much time at tiddlywinks and thinks it is a conspiracy of white people when he loses.

At some point, the ones who backed him will drop him like a hot rock. It will happen when he decides to tax the ones who back him.

Witness Spielberg. Especially after he decided not to back Israel.

I just came from RedState.

I am intrigued that RedState has now gone the way of the depressed and depressing. All is lost, the hunker down mentality is very prevalent now.

Geez, don't these guys know how to win a war? It is a war with the Liberals and the Conservatives fighting it out. From the majority of their way of thinking is that we allow this to happen with out fighting back.

These people are the type to hide behind a Maginot line and never ever think thaty they are going to come after them.

Hiding is more suitable for them. Bunch a french cowards.

Obama bumper stickers.

I wonder how long it will take before they get removed quietly by the people who put them on?



I think by this summer, there won't be a bumper sticker to be found that has Obama's name on it. I think that more and more there is a growing realization that Obama has lied. I know he has, but it is just now dawning on people that maybe they made a big mistake with voting him in.



I didn't vote him in. Fellow Americans did. Now, we have an idiot who has decided to grab as much of the country he can. Very few people will be willing to put up with this.

A thought about Red State

Well, I got eighty sixed from Red State. This is something I didn't expect, but I should have.

Seems, I attacked a sacred cow. MOE LANE.

Wow. Who knew?

I am wondering what exactly is what I said, since all I did was take into exception his boring and oh so esoteric "Red Hot" post about history.

The reason they erased me was because some took exception to my anger at his stupid post.

One of the reasons why I got angry is because his mightiness wont stoop to read someone else's post, let alone comment on one funny post.

My initial post was ridiculing a new tax on flushing.

Some people would think it is hilarious. I think it is.

It involves unintended consequences.

But of course a regular would never understand my point.

A regular did post, but he didn't get the joke.

That is what I was angry about. I mean if Moe Lane couldn't get the Joke and wouldn't stoop to look at it, well what good is the RedState site?

I admit I was a little angry. Hell , I was very angry.

I was in mid stream when I was blocked.

But a friend explained to me what had happened and now, especially now with the possiblity of silencing people by edict from the ONE, isn't it appropriate the people most responsible for the death of Capitalism and the Free Economy is RedState to block me?

Oh wow, Can't someone? Especially from RedState, Get THE JOKE?

The Red State Crew spend more time on silencing opposing views than the chicks from the View itself.

My posts weren't polite. My posts were accurate though. And Moe Lane has changed some of what he does post.

Maybe I am effective. I don't know.
