President Quiz

Yeah, I'm not surprised.




You Are Most Like Ronald Reagan



People tend to think you're a god - or that you almost ruined the country.

But even if people do disagree with you, they still fall victim to your charms!

2007 Conservative Leadership Conference

Register now for this year's North Carolina Conservative Leadership Conference!

If you're been a long time reader here at Ogre's, thank you! You might remember the live blogging from the conference from last year. It's archived (scroll down a bit), so you can read and see lots of information and pictures from the places I was during the conference. It was loads of fun and very refreshing to be around actual conservatives!

I've been invited back to live blog again this year. I truly hope to go, but my laptop was stolen a month or so ago, and I've not replaced it yet. I'm not sure if I'll be able to, because the insurance company is still thinking about it, and I'm not sure I had enough coverage to actually get enough to replace it. But I hope to live blog from there, and even if I'm not, why not head up there?

Either way I'll be going to the conference -- this might be your only chance to meet Ogre! And yes, I'll be easy to identify -- my nametag WILL say "Ogre."

We Get Comments

It seems my recent post describing the facts about the Discount-Mats web site has attracted a couple new commenters. One is someone posting as "Dale." Dale says that he is "A US Troop." He says:

My office gets a kick out of reading (well I read, they laugh) your blogs. It's amazing what the internet has done for those with little backgound knowledge and wisdom.

This is why I fight bad guys on the web everyday, so folks like you can take up vaulable IP's...until we go to IPV6.

Good luck with your crusade against the dems, muslims and others you hate. Remember they can take your guns when they pry them from your cold dead fingers (At least I think that's what your bumper sticker on your f-150 says)


Well now, as Mister Rodgers would say, "Isn't that special?"

He claims that his office laughs while reading my "blogs [sic]." Now in that comment, he's not quite clear which posts he's talking about. For now, I'm going to assume he's a normal, sane, rational person -- in which case he's laughing at the llama joke and the AR Surgeon joke. Well that's good Dale, that's why I posted them, so that people would laugh. I'm glad to have not only lightened your day, but that of your whole office. Thanks for letting me know, really!

Next, Dale says that he fights bad guys on the web so I can have an IP. I'm going to assume, then, that Dale is a member of the mysterious "Men in Black Polka-Dots" -- a sooper-seekret shadow group that uses the internet to shock "bad" people and who protect and free IP addresses for The People. Excellent. Thank you, Dale, for putting the health of your fingers and wrists on the line every day so I can have one of the precious few 4 billion IP addresses available. -- well, at least until IPv6 when, apparently, Dale won't be needed to fight the "bad guys" on the web any more.

Next, he wishes me luck in my battle against evil. Why, thank you again, Dale! I wish you luck in your daily cyberbattles against "bad guys" on the web, too. Perhaps one day we will both be successful -- you get rid of the "bad guys" on the web and I'll try to get the freedom-haters out of America. It sure would be a nice place here, wouldn't it?

Then Dale goes all loopy on me. I really don't know what he's trying to say with

Remember they can take your guns when they pry them from your cold dead fingers (At least I think that's what your bumper sticker on your f-150 says)

Dale, I don't have an F-150. Sure, I wouldn't mind having one, as they are pretty strong and reliable vehicles that can really haul a good bit of stuff around, but I just don't have a need for one now. So I'm not really sure whose F-150 you were following around while reading their bumper sticker. Dale?

Federal Judge: No Free Association

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Has anyone seen that quote above? Does it look familiar to anyone? For those educated in the government school system in the past 10 years, you might not recognize it. It's the first amendment to the US Constitution, which is supposed to be the supreme law of the land. However, it's not.

Those amendments were designed to ensure that government did not take personal rights away from individuals. They did not grant those rights, they were to protect those rights. But a federal judge in Florida disagrees.

The case was a first trial based on a new law that is a clear violation of that amendment listed above. That law made voluntary association with people that results in injury a felony. Not a misdemeanor, but a felony -- a serious crime that stays with you your entire life.

In the particular case, one person got injured. I'm sorry that Marcus Jones was injured, seriously. However, Mr. Jones voluntarily submitted to the injury. Mr. Jones voluntarily went to two other people, freely associating with them, and asked them to spank him. They did so. At no time did Mr. Jones complain, stop, or walk away. At no time did the other two persons do anything at all to illegally restrain or stop Mr. Jones from walking away. Mr. Jones FREELY and voluntarily submitted to the spanking.

But Judge Kathleen Dekker said that this simply cannot be allowed. She said that people should not be free to associate with one another in this manner. She said that the two people who did what Mr. Jones asked should be thrown in jail with murderers and rapists who violate the liberty of others. Judge Kathleen says that you do NOT have the right to associate with those that you like.

Many people in San Francisco should take heed of this ruling -- it says you are NOT free to associate with those you want to unless Judge Dekker says that it's okay. Freedom takes another hit in America. I'm not sure why we even have a Constitution any more.

Christian Nazi Detained in England

I'm sure by now you've read about the "foiled kidnapping" attempt in England. Do note in all the news coverage that absolute and total lack of two words: terrorism and Muslim.

You see, I'm sure that the people arrested in the plot to film the brutal beheading of an English citizen are Christian right-wing neo-conservative Nazis. After all, aren't they they group of people who most often behead people and film it for terroristic purposes? I'm sorry, this wasn't a terrorist act, I'm sure this was just a "politcal statement."

I understand that many of the details of this arrest are being withheld as the police continue their investigation. However, who actually believes that the people planning this terrorist act are NOT Muslims? If you actually believe that, I truly feel sorry for you because you really don't have a clue about the world today.

Folks, these are moderate Muslims. This is what they do. I don't like it. I wish it weren't true. But what good does it do to deny reality? If you're not a Muslim, they want you to convert or they will kill you, period.

Google Supports Terrorists

Anything wrong with this statement?

Muslim Chickens hatched World War III. We coined the phrase 'Muslim Chickens' to reflect the cowardly methods used by radical Muslims in their jihad against the world. We pull no punches and exercise zero political correctness. We do not recognize liberal-lefty rules here. We tell it like it is while seeking THE FINAL SOLUTION to THE MUSLIM QUESTION

Google thinks so. In fact Google disliked that position statement so much they decided they needed to censor a blog that DARED to say that -- because some terrorists muslims complained.

For those who are a little slow, I'll explain my position: Google is free (at least right now) to do business with whomever they want. But they do have to live with the responsibility of their actions (if you're a liberal, go ahead and look that word up in the dictionary). So I'm just pointing out that Google is, in fact, a liberal organization that would choose to give in to terrorists than to stand up for individual freedom of speech.

Democrats Want More

While it's going to be a bad year for freedom nationally with the Democrats in charge, I truly hope a small number of people die from their horrible decisions and putting these morons in charge of national security. But in North Carolina, things will continue to get worse as Democrats get bolder and bolder in their advances of socialism. Note the words used by Democrats this year:

They want two BILLION more "for schools." This is after raising $400 million last year with the lottery that was supposed to solve all their problems. Keep in mind, these are the educrats who OPENLY admit, when asked how much they need, "MORE." And no, the state hasn't paid off the LAST $1.8 billion they passed for schools -- heck, they haven't even SPENT all of that one yet!

"We can't do but so much with the property tax," said Fred Bartholomew, chairman of the Johnston County school board. "Impact fees, transfer fees or whatever. We need some help."

Know what that means? It means he's afraid to raise the property tax any more. Why? Because the sheep people in North Carolina might actually DO something if they realized how much they were working for the state. Instead, he wants to raise taxes somewhere else, where people won't see them. He's openly admitting that he wants more money but doesn't want any of the suckers who pay the taxes to know about it. There's a slimy politician for you.

School boosters looking for $2 billion are competing for limited money with affordable-housing advocates, land conservationists and proponents of more roads and sewer pipes.

In other words: the Democrats ARE going to raise taxes massively and ARE going to spend at least $2 billion MORE this year. The only question is which scumbag moochers will GET the money that's taken by force from those who work and produce.
"It's much fairer to raise money for schools by enacting a growth tax like the land transfer tax than through the sales tax," he said.

In other words, it's more fair to punish people who want to move than to punish people who buy things. No, slimeball, it's more fair for Democrats to stop spending money faster than they can take it from those who work and produce.

How do these bastards look at themselves in the mirror in the morning?

News Break

Hey folks. Sorry to those who come by here looking for commentary on the destruction of freedom by Democrats on a daily basis -- the horribleness of the news needs a break sometimes. Today is that day. I'll be back, exposing and illustrating how much Democrats and government employees hate freedom, just not today. I'm taking a break.

But hey, go visit Arthur's Hall and read about many firearms!

NC Legislature Spends

The non-election year session of the North Carolina General Assembly is in full swing. As you might imagine, since it's ruled by Democrats (and ALWAYS has been), they're trying to decide how much more they can get away with spending. They're going to raise taxes again, it's only a question now if they'll raise them by 1 billion or 2 billion.

So why does North Carolina need to spend billions more every year? Because Democrats are in charge. I'm sorry, but that is what Democrats do. Where Republican can mess things up, too, I guarantee that if Republicans ever got control of North Carolina, they wouldn't increase spending.

This year they claim to "need" to give welfare to furniture companies. So much for the Democrats being for "the people" and not businesses. Do people still believe that lie today? In this case, they want at least another $7 million to make furniture more expensive. However, instead of the people who actually buy the furniture paying for it, they want everyone who works in North Carolina to pay for it. Welfare for business: it's what the Democrats do.

They also want to refuse to take $40 or more million for selling land they're not using. Instead of selling the land to someone who would pay lots of money for it now AND pay tons of taxes AND generate jobs; the socialist Democrats don't want to lose control over that land. Instead, they want to make it a park. So there's another hundred million or so out the window thanks to Democrats. But don't worry, they'll just raise your taxes to make up the difference.

14-Year Old Streetbiker

Now this story is more than just a story about a really talented kid who learned to ride a streetbike in, well, ways that seem to defy physics. In addition, this fellow actually appreciates this country and wants to thank those who made it possible for him to actually have the freedom to learn such things. And no, it's not the government.

Instead, Aaron Colton wants to thank the troops. He wants to perform for wounded soldiers in Washington and in Iraq, if possible. He wants to share his talents and thank the soldiers who risk their lives to ensure that we can be free, in spite of attempts by Democrats and others who want us to surrender and become muslim.

How can he do that? He doesn't know, and neither do I. But I do know that if we spread the word, perhaps someone who DOES know will read about it and will be able to help Aaron realize his dream -- of thanking soldiers. That's what Aaron dreams about -- what do you wish for in your life?

Hizb ut-Tahrir?

This is a group of muslims who want to overthrow any non-muslim government. I think in today's world, that makes them officially "moderate" muslims -- only because they're not actively killing people at the conference. One of their current targets is the Australian government. They openly advocate the total overthrow of the Constitutional government of Australia; and a replacement of that government with a religious totalitarian society ruled by Sharia law.

Oh, and they're hosting a conference in Sydney, Australia. Isn't freedom great? The muslims are meeting in the open in a country in which they openly advocate overthrow of the government.

Gee, I wonder what would happen if they did that in the US? I bet billions of dollars of taxpayer money would be spent to protect the "rebels" from the good citizens who might actually want to NOT be overthrown by a religious law.

This will not end until people die. Perhaps lots of people. I just hope it's the radical, err... "moderate" muslims who have to die and not Australians or Americans.

Discount-Mats.com

Well, it seems that the author of Discount-Mats.com is back. Thanks to a reader, they note the Discount-Mats website has been repaired and now shows a new phone number and a new email address. Feel free to head over and contact them if you like. For details about the "company," look here and here.

On the "new" site, they have a notice:

As a company, we would like to say that it is against company policy to treat anyone disrespectfully, and we condemn any such behavior. The member who was responsible for stating their personal opinion in a disrespectful manner is no longer associated and no longer working with Discount-Mats.com

The members within our company strongly disagreed with the views and actions of this member, and once again, his personal opinion does not reflect the opinions of the company.

We, as a company, are sorry for the events that took place and we do not condone un-professional, rude behavior from any members within our company.


Interesting, no? I am still quite convinced, and will be until presented with any evidence to the contrary, that this entire "company" is one single person playing with a computer in their parent's garage. Seriously. Because of that belief, I find their repeated claims that the "employee" has been fired. I think Faisal Khetani is the only person associated with the company or the web site. But I could be wrong.

Hillary Clinton on the Constitution

Well, since algore could invent the internet and Hillary could be named after an explorer who became famous after she was born, I don't see any reason why she couldn't have written the United States Constitution, too, do you? Well, she's certainly claiming she did.

New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton blamed President Bush on Saturday for misusing authority given him by Congress to act in Iraq, but conceded "I take responsibility" for her role in allowing that to happen.

From the United States Constitution (Article II, Section 2):
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States;

So, according to Democrats, Hillary Clinton wrote Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution, giving the president power over the military.

Know what's really sad? Because so many people and Democrats were indoctrinated "educated" in the government school system, they're actually going to believe their queen.

NC Democrats Sexist

According to the Associated Press, all North Carolina Democrats are sexist. Those Democrats who voted for representatives that were female, only voted for them because they were female and not because they were Democrat, or because the people agreed with their positions.

Even worse, again, according to the Associated Press, the Democrats who were elected to the legislature are just as racist, but in the opposite direction. You see, the Democrats voted for a "leader" and they only selected their leader because he had a penis and intentionally did not select someone else who didn't have one. Again, this is according to the Associated Press.

They absolutely praised the forward-thinking and progressiveness of the voters of North Carolina for deciding who would represent them based on their lack of a penis; and yes, they derided those in the legislature who dared to vote for someone with a penis.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

I have a dream that one day in the state of North Carolina, members of the Associated Press will be able to report facts without judging a person based on the absence or presence of a penis.

I have a dream that one day in the state of New York, members of the New York Times will be able to report the facts of something that happened without viewing everything through an anti-American and liberal prism.

But yes, it's just a dream.

New Neighbor #47

Welcome again, good readers, to this week's New Neighbor. For those who haven't seen this feature before, this is a weekly post that appears each Sunday afternoon. Each week Ogre reads through some new blogs from the massive blogroll on the right side of the main page, right now the Evangelical Blogroll, and finds a new blog to highlight and introduce to you, my kind reader. This week, it's

JivinJehoshaphat


This blog is about
Life Apologetics Sports Poker How Beautiful My Wife Is Whatever

And, well, other than telling you the author is "JivinJ," I can't tell you much more about the blog itself -- there's no typical "About" tag in the corner. And yes, I am well aware that the kettle is calling the pot black. One day I might get around to putting one up...

The latest post from Friday is one that I had considered writing last week, but I ran out of time. In that post, JivinJ asks when storing of umbilical cord cells became "controversial?" I'm not sure I've heard anyone complain about that until, well, this person started storing them and the news generated a fake controversy.

He's got another post up that shows Democrats in Iowa working on redefining the English language to fit their own usage now. Apparently now in Iowa, "stem cell" means "cloning." Yes, only in Democratic Iowa are those two things synonyms.

There's also a post that helps debunk abortion lies from the pro-death group. And he does it without even mentioning the 40 million babies that have been killed in the United States since 1973.

The blog layout is rather plain and simple, but that makes it easy to read with lots of flashy things vying for your eyeballs' attention. So, on this wonderful Sunday afternoon, why not head on over and have a read. See if you like what you see. You might find a new blog to read every day.

An AR Surgeon Joke

Three Arkansas surgeons were playing golf together And discussing surgeries they had performed. One of them said, "I'm the best Surgeon in Arkansas. In my favorite case, a concert pianist lost seven fingers in an accident, I reattached them, and 8 months later he performed a private concert for the Queen of England."

The second surgeon said. "That's Nothing. A young man lost an arm and both legs in an accident. I reattached them, and 2 years later he won a gold medal in track and field events in the Olympics."

"The third surgeon said, "You guys are amateurs. Several years ago a woman was high on cocaine and marijuana and she rode a horse head-on into a train traveling 80 miles an hour. All I had left to work with was the woman's blonde hair and the horse's rear-end. I was able to put them together and now she's a senator from New York."

A Tight Skirt Joke

One day, at a bus stop there was a girl who was wearing a skintight miniskirt. When the bus arrived and it was her turn to get on, she realized that her skirt was so tight she couldn't get her foot high enough to reach to step.

Thinking it would give her enough slack to raise her leg, she reached back and unzipped her skirt a little. She still could not reach the step. Embarrassed, she reached back once again to unzip it a little more. Still, she couldn't reach the step.

So, with her skirt zipper halfway down, she reached back and unzipped her skirt all the way. Thinking that she could get on the step now, she lifted up her leg only to realize that she still couldn't reach the step.

So, seeing how embarrassed the girl was, the man standing behind her put his hands around her waist and lifted her up on to the first step of the bus. The girl turned around furiously and said, "How dare you touch my body that way, I don't even know you!"

Shocked, the man says, "Well, ma'am, after you reached around and unzipped my fly three times, I kinda figured that we were friends."

Friday Feast

Last week, with some prodding from Raven I participated in Friday Feast. So, since it's Friday, and time for lighter fare, I'll play again this week. Here's how it works:

While our questions may sometimes be related to food, the main idea here is to feed your mind by asking thought-provoking, mind-stimulating questions.

Each Friday when you visit this meme, you will find 5 enticing courses for your mind to gobble up:

Appetizer
- a quick, tasty morsel to get you started

Soup
- smooth and warm to soothe your mind

Salad
- a nutritious blend of "veggies"

Main Course
- a hearty portion that is sure to satisfy

Dessert
- light concoction for your sweet tooth


Okie dokie. Here's This week:
Appetizer
If you could take lessons to learn any musical instrument, which would you want to learn?

The Pinto Beans.

What? You've never heard the song, "Beans, beans, the musical fruit?" I'm not quite sure HOW you make music with beans, but I am willing to learn.

Soup
Have you ever mistaken a person for someone else?

Once I thought Tammi was a llama. But that's all. Oh, and I once mistook Harvey for a monkey. But no one else. And I still have to apologize to Craig the chimp for that one.
Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?

I can't tell. I was sworn to secrecy.

So I guess that makes me a 10, huh?

Oh crap, now I'm a 1.

Main Course
What's the closest you've ever been to a dangerous animal?

I've stood exactly 31 inches from large numbers of U.S. Marines.
Dessert
When was the last time you lost your patience?

I'm not sure. Last I checked it was locked up in that drawer right over there, but I haven't looked recently to see if it's moved.

Tom Tancredo for President

He's only formed an exploratory committee so far, but America needs Tom Tancredo. He may not even run because so far his goal seems to be to get the candidates talking about his issues; but America needs Tom Tancredo.

His #1 issue, which is one of the most important in America today, is immigration:

I am absolutely opposed to amnesty or guest worker program in any form. In addition to rewarding those who broke our laws, amnesties simply do not solve the problem of illegal immigration. The only realistic solution to the problem of illegal immigration is a strategy of attrition, which seeks to reduce the flow of the illegal alien population over time by cutting off the incentives for coming to and staying in America - most importantly by eliminating the jobs magnet.

No other current leader in Washington nor any other announced candidate has this position. If you are opposed to Spanish as a new national languge; if you believe American citizenship should have meaning; if you think laws are to be obeyed regarding immigration; and if you think there's a problem with terrorists slipping over the border; you need to support Tom Tancredo.

Mr. Tancredo OPPOSED "No child left behind." He's a former government (public) school teacher, so he knows exactly what teachers face and the state of the education system. He supports tax credits for EVERYONE who wants to send their children ANYWHERE for education. Imagine that, freedom of choice.

He wants to actually fix social security and allow people choices:

One component is individually-controlled, voluntary personal retirement accounts, which will augment the Social Security safety net. Any solution must, however, protect current retirees, and provide greater retirement security for future retirees.

He hates high taxes. He supports a flat tax.

This is not a Republican or Democrat -- this is the ONLY candidate so far that actually wants America to have borders. If you like America as a country, you need Tom Tancredo.
