Court Strikes Down Seattle Gun Ban

Some times the courts, at least from my point of view, get the decisions right.
In this case, as in many cities across the country, municipalities under the preise of protecting the public, make laws that clearly interfere with constitutional intent.

Judge: Seattle gun ban is illegal KOMO News - Breaking News, Sports, Traffic and Weather - Seattle, Washington Local & Regional

Now the folks in DC need to be thrown in jail, they loose in the Supreme Court, and turn around and defy the ruling by adjusting the statute, thereby restarting the process. For this defiance of the rule of law, for the defilement on the Constitution, Congress should defund the city.

Is The Party Over?

Not yet, but this group is far from being close to popular.  Reminds me of the satirical song "There's a party in my pants and we want you all to come".

This website promotes the anti-tea party.  On the first page there are the pictures of three conservative activists, giving their phone numbers and suggesting they end their support of the Tea Party movement.

These men the site targets are:

• Randy Hultgren: Who sponsored a health care bill, that includes in quotes "will kill people". It is possible that such words were used, I am going to find the bill and study before rendering opinion.  I would ask, is this one of the health care proposals that the dimocrats keep claiming have not been offered as alternative to Obamacare? 
• Arie Friedman: Who advocates eliminating Meidcaid and has the audacity to doubt the "proven science of global warming".  Hey jackass, GLOBAL WARMING is not proven, it is based on fraudulent data manipulation.  The reason you cling to this notion is that it fits the progressive self-loathing deconstructionist teachings of your priozed government education  The same education, I might add, that provided no understanding scientific peer review and the lack thereof.
• David McAloon: Who is pro-life and pro-gun.  These are described as dangerous ideas, last time I checked, gun ownership is protected by the second ammendment.  And the pro-life stance, well it's his right to disagree with current law, as long as he acts lawfully.

The mission statment of the website is.....

To prevent the Tea Party's dangerous ideas from gaining legislative traction.

The objective of this group is....

Our Strategy is simple. This movement is a fad. Some of their ideas include the belief that programs like Social Security and Medicare are socialistic and should never have been created in the first place and that President Obama is a Socialist. Other ideas include undermining the legitimacy of the federal government in favor of a radical rightwing form of state’s rights. We need to prevent their dangerous ideas from gaining a legislative foothold. So our strategy is to spread the truth about their dangerous ideas and prevent their policies from taking root in America.

Let's see. The movement is a fad. The party may be a fad or even short lived, but the causes for the are fear of bourgening debt, and fear of the construction of an institutionalized dependent majority.  Depencies on government redistribution of wealth will eventually create enough drag on the productive capacity of the country so as to reduce the mean standard of living for the whole.  The main populace my not understand my weak description, but they all understand the problem intutively.  You can't spend more than you make without eventually paying the difference.  Unsupported governemnt growth cannot be factored away by inflation or increasing the money supply.

Social Security and Medicare are socialist policies, that is a fact. It is also a fact that these programs have helped many people over many decades.  The current complaint now is not so much that they exist, but their growth being unrestrained.  As and aside, I don't mean inflationary growth, I mean growth of scope.  The missions statements of those programs have long been forgotten.

Undermining federal dominance in favor over states rights is definitely an objective of tea baggers.  This is because citizens recognize that state goverments are better tied to citizens by their proximity and more appropriately respond to local pressure.  The balance between state and federal goes back to the framing of the Constitution, in arguments between Hamilton and Jefferson.  Hamilton's efforts were somewhat thwarted by Jefferson, thus the development of the Federalist Papers which explain the authors intents and fears.  This issue includes the Whiskey Rebellion, and the Civil War.  Since the Civil War, the Federal position has slowly gained dominance, the coup de grace being Roosevelt's New Deal in which many Constitutional barriers were ignored for the creation of progressive programs. This fight is not dangerous, but it is unending, and frankly, the progressives are winning.  This is an effort to keep the loser down.

Visit the site, try to figure out a way to make their life unpleasant, that is exactly what they are suggesting by targeting patriotic citizens.

Doctors and Unemployed

Four doctors at a conference are bragging about their homelands…

 

The Israeli doctor said: "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

 

The German doctor said: "That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks. "

 

The Russian doctor said:  "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them  both looking for work in two weeks."

  

The Kentucky doctor said:    "You guys are way behind. We recently took a man with no brains out of Illinois and put him in the White House and within SIX MONTHS, half the COUNTRY is looking for Work.

Saudi Arabia Rejects Pakistani Diplomat

DGJ sent me the link to this story.  Only Monty Python did it better.

Here in the United States, would we first have crisis counselors to help the children harmed by hearing the name, then there would be a panel constructed to study moniker for its true benefit to society.

Why didn't some person in the Paki State Department, or whatever they call it, have enough knowledge of the Arabic language, to know that this was going to be offensive to the people the diplomat would have to interact with. It's no wonder the people are always squatting with their asses touching the dirt.

Saudi Arabia rejects Pakistani diplomat because his name means “huge penis” in Arabic

Palin Uses Her Hand

Big deal.  GOPUSA has a fun article today covering the clamor about the Sarah Palin writing notes on here hand.  Within Bobby Eberle quotes some mainstream media sycophants, notable her by Chris Mathews..

Can a palm reader be president? What do we think of kids in school who write stuff on their hands to get through a test? What do we think of a would-be political leader who does it to look like she's speaking without notes? What do we think of Sarah Palin this weekend answering pre-screened questions from a like-minded audience in Nashville, a tea party convention, and still having to put a cheat sheet on her palm to answer what she calls the basics of her beliefs? How can someone presume to be auditioning for president when they can't even answer questions they know are coming?

For Chris I have marked and photographed my own palm.

There no doubt this commentary is the byproduct of anxiousness over the criticism the President receives for being tethered to a teleprompter. Any hint of similar activity must receive comments of equal derogatory depth. I do not care if the President uses a teleprompter, frankly I don't care if what he says is planned or a spur of the moment. It is all crap.

This voter is trying to keep his eyes on the actions, so far I see liberal-progressive-socialist dogma, centralizing power for the intellectual elite, and dictating terms to a lower caste public. This so far is true in the health care debate, handling of terrorist policies, handling of foreign policies and recession correction.
So to condense, I will deflect the words of any man who, talks both down and at me.

Chris Mathews, you are a blow hard.  Sarah Palin has a list of reminders on her hand, this is used to give a speech that the audience enjoyed and could respond emotionally to. The President you cheer for uses a teleprompter so exclusively that any chance for adaptative behavior or acceptance of feedback is removed.

Murtha

I have been out of the house for a long weekend in Florida, took the bride horseback riding on the beach.

The news told me that Representative Murtha passed, my first thought is that I hope this man suffered.
For that I am embarrassed.
Looking at the links on my page to site that I enjoy reading, it seems that other had more honesty in expressing their anger.

In 2005 Murtha acheived stardom in the democratic party by publically denouncing then President Bush's war plans.  In  this loftly esteem he was portrayed as a military expert because of his record as a Vietnam veteran.  What he was was an edge to the knife that the liberals were searching for.
To give him credit Jack Murtha was the first Vietnam veteran to be elected to Congress.  While we are giving credit, he was was also unabashadly proud of his title "The King of Pork", in his long service this representative bought home the goods.  He was also touched in the FBI's ABSCAM investigation, having been recorded on tape discussing transactions with undercover agents posing as potential sources of payola. The man was probably dirty but it could not be proven.

I am sorry for his family and friends, nobody deserves loss like that.
I am happy for the country, nobody deserves selfishness like that.
By nobody, I mean us.

Sword attack at Georgia Tech

When you send your child to college, this is not one of the things I imagined that he would have to avoid. After sending the kid an email linking to an amazing Michelle Obama figurine offer, I suppose now he doesn't have the time to be on-line shopping.  He needs to be at the pawn shop buying a pistol.

Bring a sword to school, you are expelled, Tech has a "No Tolerance" policy.

The attacker already had his PhD, what hey hell did he have to be upset about?
Usually the anger is the reversed.

Doll

DGJ sent me a link to this site suggesting that I might want to get one.
What a smart ass.

Thinking forward, I think Ms. Obama could hardly wait for a commemorative stamp, then she would have the whole country licking her back side.

Statuesque, stylish, and completely full of herself!

Obama Screws With Reid's Re-Election

In the cycle Harry Reid will have to defend his Senate seat against Republicans and democrats.
At risk, he is, enough by his own moronic actions. 
Fellow democrats, like Chucky Schumer, are spreading money around to party candidates in order to position themselves for becoming the replacement Senate Majority Leader.
Now the President is pissing off the citizens of Nevada by disparaging their primary industry...

"You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage," Obama said. "You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college. You prioritize. You make tough choices."

The following story reports that the President has offered an explaination which contradicts the above statement. The serving as not so much an apology , but an "that's not what I meant to say".....

Obama responds to ire over 2nd anti-Vegas remark -- GOPUSA

I don't really care so much about the President's intent; he probably did not mean to disparage the people of Nevada.  He was just talking about money and the prioritization of its use.  Which make me wonder, if President Obama is so knowledgeable about how to spend money, why does he endorse a budget that promotes spending repeats past bad programs? And another thing, if there were billions to be saved in the Medicaid and Medicare programs when the healthcare bill was presented, now that that bill is stalled, why aren't these stupendous savings in the new budget.  I tell you why, because its all bull shit. 
I've gotten off course, getting back to topic.
The words were delivered with probably no more bad intent than those the President uses for Republicans.  But these words will undermine Reid in his home state to a depth that should make it impossible for him to get re-elected.  Considering the cut throat mentality of Rahm Emanual, was the intent to dethrone Harry Reid?
I don't know, a weak Harry Reid is far better for Republicans than an omnipotent Charles Schumer.
