45% Likely To Purchase Alternative Fuel Car During Next Decade

Count me in the 55%.
When alternative power sources make economic selection logical, I will switch.
If the President gets re-elected and finds himself in the position of not having to even show he gives a shit about American citizens, he could unilaterally decide that he is going to outlaw all petroleum exploration, harvesting and sales. It's what his minions want so don't think it's too farcical.

73% Say Being a Father is Most Important Role for Men in Today’s World

You see such a high number here, yet every day you hear about men who walk away.
How a person could do that I will never understand.

Agenda 21 and Obama’s Rural Council?

In an article forwarded to me by a neighbor, a discussion about restricting of property rights.
No doubt this has been a function of local governments via zoning laws.
The manner in which the Federal government wishes to integrate global UN policies is alarming.

Mohammad Abdollahi Plans to Harbor Illegal Aliens

Piss of the wrong policeman and maybe you will be picking up trash on the side of the road Mo Ab.

An activist proudly moves to my home states so that he can subvert the will of a impressive majority, and the commitment properly elected legislative body.
Why, basically because he's an anarchist asshole.
I am tired of this bullshit, the DREAM ACTIVISTS don't want to obey the rules of society, in stead using the rules of society to waste public resources and compell approval of illegal activity.

Update On President's Day

Sent to by a coworker.
I was eating lunch on the 20th of February with my 10-year-old granddaughter and I asked her, "What day is tomorrow?"
She said "It's President's Day!"
She is a smart kid.
I asked "What does President's Day mean?"
I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln ... etc.
She replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment."
You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose.

65% Say Those Who Hire Illegal Immigrants Bigger Problem Than Immigrants Themselves

The numbers are pretty staggering and judging by the high percentage, crosses common parties boundaries. In the state of Georgia HB 87 flew through the house only to stall in the senate. Aggressive fax campaigns and phone calls to the senators and lt-gov Casey Cagle pushed through what they were clearly tempted to bury. Business, primarily from lower state agricultural concerns want to keep using the cheap labor. After passage through both houses, the bill languished on the Governor's desk for a couple of weeks, no doubt he was hearing the resistance from the business community. Again pressure prevailed upon these men to do what they campaigned to do.
This poll is also very interesting highlighting the disparity between mainstream and political class voter groups. Generally considered as more politically involved, the political class, might be better described as bureaucrats and liberal-progressives, both groups posture themselves as superior to the mainstream and deserving of special preferences and exemptions in legislation.
I really enjoyed this poll, please follow the link for more information.

God Save The Queen

My wife really likes the English Royals. She got up with her sisters at 4:00 am to watch some damnable wedding. I would not get up at 4:00 am for my own wedding.
This pitiful message, because of the economic meltdown this foundation has selected me purely on the basis of having an email address.

Dear beloved,

PLEASE ENDEAVOR TO USE IT FOR THE CHARITY. I am Susan George. I am married to Dr.Johnson George American contractor based here in Ghana. My late husband worked in West Africa for nine years before he died in a car accident attack that left me disfigure that I cant be able to hear nor walk, I have been in pains in a local poorly equipped hospital in Ghana.We were married for seven years.

When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $5.5Million in a bank vault.
Presently, this money is still under the safe keeping of the vault, recently my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next 4 months due to pains and poor medication.

I have decided to donate this fund to church, organization or a sincere individual that will utilize this money regarding to my instructions. I want the fund to be used for orphanages and widows also for the treatment of Aids and reduction of poverty in Africa ,Asia, South America.

I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. As soon as I receive your response I will give you the contact of the Attorney that will help you secure the legal approval and document to transfer the Will to you in order to enable you receive the funds legitimately as my appointed beneficiary.

Remain blessed.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs.Susan George
