Eagles: +1, Sheehan Moonbats: 0

I just got back from the Sheehan "protest" in Charlotte -- according to Sheehan's "spokesperson", Cindy was literally scared away by the Gathering of Eagles (and maybe Keith Larson's pickup softball game) -- she told us that "Cindy's not coming because the situation here is too tense."

Nicely done, Gathering of Eagles!

Pictures to come tomorrow.

How to Win a Fight With a Liberal is the ultimate survival guide for political arguments

My Conservative Identity:

You are an Anti-government Gunslinger, also known as a libertarian conservative. You believe in smaller government, states’ rights, gun rights, and that, as Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”

Bary Bonds & Home Runs

I know it's still difficult to actually HIT a baseball, much less hit home runs, but I still can't argue with this very clear image:

Emperor Shot in CO

The Emperor was shot yesterday in CO. I'm not quite sure what he was emperor of, but clearly it was a short rein. What's interesting, as always, is the Democrat and government response to the lunacy.

So the facts are that a man entered the capital building with a gun. The current security measures in place ensured that not a single person was injured in any way, shape, or form, except for the mental midget who tried to "take over the government." To me, that sounds like success. That sounds like a security system that works absolutely excellent. I mean, if the governor had been shot, or if people had been taken hostage and injured, or a bomb went off -- that would be a failure. But NO ONE in the capital got hurt. As of right now, everything is exactly like it was the day before yesterday. Therefore, by all dictates of logic, the system worked perfectly.

Therefore, Democrats and government being what they are, they must solve the problem. Yes, I'm well aware that there is NO PROBLEM. The system worked exactly as it should have. But that's not how Democrats and government see it. Instead, they see an opportunity to increase government. They want "more security." They want more insulation from the peons -- they want metal detectors (because apparently they actually believe a metal detector would have stopped this lunatic).

Once again government proves that they simply have zero grip on reality and do not want anything to do with The People.

Identifying Olympic Runner

I'm looking for some help from you, the good reader! There's an Olympic runner and I simply cannot remember his name. I can remember the story, but his name absolutely eludes me at the moment. Various Yahoo and Google searches haven't helped, so I'm hoping someone who reads this might be able to remember this fellow's name.

He was an Olympic runner. I think he was from England. He was running in a qualifying heat in a recent Olympics. It was a sprint, not long-distance. Partway through the race, he pulled up with a bad leg injury. After stopping, he wanted to finish the race. He was clearly in great pain, but he limped along, wanting to finish running the race. Eventually, the pain was too great, but he continued to move forward. Finally, someone stepped out of the crowd and helped him to the finish line. But for the life of me, I cannot remember his name. Does anyone know who I'm talking about?

Sheehan in Charlotte

Oh my. Lions and Tigers and Bears. Retired lunatic Cindy Look-At-Me Sheehan will be "demonstrating" in Charlotte today. I wonder if any "supporters" will show up. Probably, because there's a lot of liberals and socialists in Charlotte who despise freedom and suffer greatly from Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Unfortunately, some of us actually work for our money, instead of living off the backs of others, so I'll be unable to attend her "rally for impeachment" this afternoon. There is a SECOND "rally" scheduled for 5pm. If it's not raining (and with a forecast heat index of 107 today, it likely will be), I'll see if I can stop by and snap some pictures. This could be fun, so be sure and check back tomorrow here -- if I can get some shots, they'll be posted here!

Cows, Constitution, and Commandments

Got this passed along to me in email. Just think about it, would ya?

Three Things to Ponder:
1. Cows
2. The Constitution
3. The Ten Commandments

Cows
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that our government can track a single cow born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she sleeps in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

The Constitution
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.


The Ten Commandments
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:
You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal", "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery", and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians. It creates a hostile work environment.

Gary Sheffield on Race

Gary Sheffield says that Joe Torre (Yankees manager) is a racist. Well, actually he says that Torre is NOT a racist, but he judges people by their skin color. But he's not racist. I think someone needs to buy Gary either a dictionary or a muzzle -- or both.

This, however, is the lunacy brought about by today's PC world. You see, any word can mean anything you want it to -- otherwise someone might be offended. And if you're black, you can say anything about anyone without any consequences -- unless you complain about black people (like Bill Cosby).

I think Sheffield is just being very, very petty and is mad that the Yankees traded him last year. I think Torre is really taking the high road and refusing to even comment on the entire interview. Know who the real racist is? Gary Sheffield. Stop whining, Mr. Sheffield. You're being paid a LOT of money TO PLAY A DAMN GAME. Shut and and play.

I'm getting ready to go to a tennis game. I am going to take 3 balls with me to play tennis. I look in a box and find there are 5 balls there -- three are green and two are black. I select all 3 green balls and do not even consider taking the black balls with me to my game. Does that make me racist? According to Sheffield (and way too many others), I treat blacks and white differently and am or am not a racist because of my selections. What a moron.

The two black balls were bowling balls.

Education Needs Cash

What a shocker. The Charlotte Observer strongly supports throwing enormous piles of federal cash (taken from working taxpayers) at the government education system (which has nothing to do with educating people). This time it's called the "Graduation Promise Act" -- and costs $2.5 billion. Like everything else associated with government education, it has absolutely no value and will help no one except bureaucrats.

This one claims to help "reduce dramatically the number of high school dropouts." If they really want to increase the graduation rate, just start printing diplomas for anyone who reaches the age of 18. Seriously. Then they can claim much higher graduation rates and everyone will be happy -- and it would cost a LOT less.

These socialists and bureaucrats who literally want nothing but more money taken from those who work are playing on your emotions. After all, don't you WANT to help the poor and underprivileged? If you don't support this, you're heartless! Of course, this is in direct opposition to the fact that some people simply are not capable of learning enough to be considered educated. But don't worry, government can solve that problem, too -- with just a little more money.

What are they crying about and trying to get you to support massive new taxation?

More class time, immediate intervention and targeted help for each student who fails or falls behind, intensive focus on language and math, plus more challenging and inviting learning environments make a difference for struggling students.

And the most ironic thing about this?
Most of these strategies are already a part of N.C. Gov. Mike Easley's New Schools Project that aims to help transform conventional high schools into ones that are relevant and effective.

In other words, North Carolina is already doing this -- but we still need BILLIONS more in taxes to pay for it -- and the results from doing this now in North Carolina? A 68% graduation rate.

But gee, if we'd just spend a few billion more, all the problems would be solved.

Actually, if the entire government system of schools and "education" -- from age 3 to graduate schools -- would shut down overnight, EVERYONE would be SUBSTANTIALLY better off. Well, everyone except the government bureaucrat employees who live off other people's hard work.

Stop Liberal Censorship

A few semi-Republicans (McCain is still registered Republican?) have gathered together to oppose the liberal morons, err, Democrats who want to force the so-called "fairness doctrine" onto talk radio. Now I don't listen to a lot of talk radio, but I'm quite sure that if they succeed in shutting up opposition on talk radio that they'll very quickly come after the blogs next.

So join with me in supporting the petition to support Republican efforts to stop Democrat censorship of things they don't like, would you?

NC Tax Increases

Well, Democrats have run the state for decades, so I guess no one should be surprised they're trying hard again to punish working people by raising more taxes. Two big ones that are under consideration now are the tax on moving and a 100% increase on new car taxes. Both will be relatively hidden because you won't see them unless you look for them.

Freedomworks is a group that's trying to get people to contact the NC Legislature to oppose these taxes. I'm not sure there's much purpose -- the Democrats who are currently in the Legislature drew their own lines for their districts -- NONE are threatened with any challengers for the next election year -- the districts are rigged so they literally cannot lose (until they get tired of the job).

But hey, why not head on over and contact them anyway. They might be surprised to know that someone actually cares about something.

Spaghetti Ice Cream?

Now I'm not one to scoff at ice cream. I like ice cream. Maybe not in the middle of winter, but I can indeed eat some ice cream. And I happen to like desserts. But this is just too much:

Spaghetti Ice Cream? Sheesh.

Stupid Government

It's almost beyond comment. Certainly it's utterly beyond belief. The concept that a mayor would decide that he has the power to tell everyone in his town that they're not allowed to use a grill after 8:00pm is just insane. That's right, grill a hamburger at 8:01 and it's to jail for you.

Now I realize that the "recreational fire" ban was lifted within a day by sane people on the town council. But still -- does the idea that one person has that sort of power not scare you? How much power have we actually given to government? This was just a mayor of a small town -- but how much power does government really have today? If the president had ordered that, would there be anything you could do (apart from just ignoring it)?

Seriously. Think about this one. Government today, in America, clearly has the power to do literally anything it wants -- AND YOU CANNOT STOP IT. And people wonder why I so strongly support the second amendment...

"Evolution" proves Theory of Evolution Wrong - Again

Heh. Scientists are crowing over "new proof" of evolution -- which once again proves that evolution isn't what Darwin's theory claims.

In the article, scientists point out that a butterfly developed a gene to resist a parasite in less than one year -- 10 generations. They're claiming that evolution occurred in a "flash" instead of over billions of years. But what they're not noticing is that the evolution occurred so that the butterflies could remain the same. In other words, these new, evolved butterflies are not bigger, better, strong, or indeed even different -- they're the same butterfly. They didn't evolve to change. They didn't evolve into another species. They didn't evolve into humans -- they evolved to stay the same.

That's evolution -- species adapting to survive. It's not evolution into something different. It's not a dog changing into a monkey. This is NOT what Darwin's theory teaches -- Darwin claimed that species evolved into other species -- and there's simply no evidence of that happening.

NC Legislature Encourages Voter Fraud

Would you like to vote in North Carolina? The Democrat-controlled North Carolina Legislature would like you to. Not a resident of North Carolina? That's okay, come vote anyway. Not an American citizen? That's fine too, just come and vote. According to Democrats and other socialist organizations, the more people who vote in North Carolina, the better -- no matter who they are.

You see, in many states, they require you to register to vote before the election -- a slight attempt to ensure you actually live in the state. That will no longer be the case in North Carolina. Instead, if you, the person reading this blog right now, want to vote in North Carolina elections, here's all you have to do:

Within a few weeks of the election (any day, really, in the 2-1/2 weeks leading up to an election -- whatever's convenient for you), get a copy of a bank statement. Try not to use a local bank (to you) -- but any BankAmerica or other nationwide bank will do. Use Google maps (or the Yellow Pages) to locate an address in the county in which you'd like to vote. If you want to vote in more than one county, feel free to obtain more than one address. Print out a label with your name (actually, any name will do, they're not going to check or anything) and the address in North Carolina. Place that label on your bank statement. Then show up at the local "early voting" location in North Carolina with that bank statement, and vote away.

Seriously.

If you're a traveling Democrat who wants to cast a dozen or so votes for your presidential candidate, just print up a bunch of labels with different addresses and drive your way across North Carolina, stopping to vote along the way. You can use the same name or different names, no one will ever know. And no, they won't ask for ANY other identification at the polling place, so there's literally almost NO way that anyone will find out that you did this. It might be illegal, but again, unless you admit you did it, they simply cannot tell (and really don't care, apparently).

Welcome to the Democrat's idea of free and fair elections in North Carolina.

NJ Toy Guns

Once again, a politician illustrates that he is a stupid moron. Sorry, I don't like to call names, but still, Sen. Nicholas Scutari is a stupid moron. Well, more likely he just hates guns and freedom, so he's working hard to destroy them, but in doing so he looks like a stupid moron.

This is yet another stupid Senator that's trying to do something to demonize guns. This time he's trying to ban the sale of toy guns to minors. Yes, adults should be able to buy toy guns because they will be responsible with the molded plastic -- but children, with their billions of dollars of disposable cash, should not be permitted to have plastic things because they might, well, he's not really clear what the kids would do with a plastic toy gun, but whatever it is, Sen. Nicholas Scutari doesn't want them to be doing that.

The bill is quite incomplete. You see, if Sen. Nicholas Scutari wants to stop kids from using toy guns, he's going to have to do more. He's going to have to ban adults giving toy guns to children. You see what Sen. Nicholas Scutari apparently doesn't know is that the vast majority of toys that children have are obtained as GIFTS from parents and others who work for a living (unlike Mr. Scutari). Perhaps he can license kids who want plastic guns, but only if they pass a test.

But even if the bill stops adults from buying those evil pieces of molded plastic, that's not going to be enough. I've often driven home from work and seen children using sticks as toy guns. This bill, if it's really going to stop kids from playing with toy guns, is going to have to ban sticks that are shaped like guns. Perhaps Mr. Scutari can arrange a new government department that can spend their time checking all sticks that fall on the ground for "gun-shapes." Then they can take the "gun-shaped" sticks and put them in a chipper before the children can get their hands on them.

Oh, but that's not quite enough yet. You see the other day I was in a mall and I saw two kids pointing their index fingers at one another and making shooting sounds. If Mr. Scutari wants to really make this bill effective -- if he REALLY wants to stop kids from playing with guns, as is his clear intent -- then we need to start removing children's index fingers and thumbs. I wonder if Mr. Scutari will support a new government program to surgically remove all children's thumbs and index fingers at birth to absolutely ensure that they don't "play with guns."

Sen. Nicholas Scutari is a stupid moron. Only a moron would suggest that "banning" a toy would have any effect on anyone.

The Constitution and the Iraq War

Now I know that in reality the United States Constitution is nothing but an old, dirty piece of paper that was written by slave owning white people. However, the scumbags dirtballs slimy bastards Senators who serve in Congress did swear they would uphold the document when they took office. And now they're trying to tell President Bush that they're going to order a withdrawal from Iraq. That should have exactly as much effect as me telling Jesse Jackson to pull down his pants and moon Chicago from the top of Soldier Field. The Senate can ask all they want, but they don't have ANY power under the Constitution to do any such thing. What CAN they do?

Section 8 - Powers of Congress
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;

To establish Post Offices and Post Roads;

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;

To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;

To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;

To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;

To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;

To provide and maintain a Navy;

To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.


Now, did you see anything in there about giving orders to the President or the military? It's not there. Why? Oh, there's another section of the Constitution:
Section 2 - Civilian Power over Military, Cabinet, Pardon Power, Appointments

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; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.


Oh yeah, there it is.

The President, if we actually followed the Constitution, is the ONLY person with the power to give orders to the military. The Senate, again, IF we followed the Constitution, has NO such power. If I were president, I'd remind them.

If the Senate honestly wants to end the war and they want to follow the Constitution (neither of which I think they want to do), they have ONE option and only ONE option available to them. They can defund the military -- ALL of it.

It's all crap, it's all politics from the billionaire boys club. Miserable S.O.B.s, the lot of them.

Stoning in Iran

Imagine being wrapped in a sheet by a mob. Then you get dropped, feet first, into a hole that's a few feet deep -- deep enough to reach your waist. Then the hole gets filled in and the dirt gets packed so that you cannot move your lower body. As you look up, you can see dozens, if not hundreds of people in a circle around you -- including friends and relatives. Suddenly they start yelling, "Allah Akbar" and the stones start flying. Small rocks and large rocks pelt your head, chest, and back. You can feebly attempt to block them with your arms as they strike you, but for each one you block, ten others hit you. Quickly you cannot see because of the blood from wounds on your head pours into your eyes. You can hear ribs crack as the stones hit them. Your ears ring as stones strike them. Your fingers break. You can only hope that a stone will soon hit you in the head and will knock you unconscious. Your legs and feet are trapped, so your natural instincts to flee are stopped as another stone tears at your flesh. If you're lucky, you will pass from consciousness before an eye is struck and torn from it's socket. Even with your mouth closed, rocks smash into your cheeks and face, breaking off teeth, tearing your tongue. As the darkness of death finally takes your soul, the stones continue flying, smashing into your body, crushing your skull as the blood pours from your body all over the ground.

And what did you do to deserve this barbaric treatment? Perhaps you slept with a woman not your wife -- or maybe just said, "Allah is not god."

This IS Islam. This IS Iran. You can try and claim Islam is a religion of peace, but you are simply wrong. Islam is violence, plain and simple. And Iran -- nearly nuclear Iran -- is the current world leader of this violent religion.

And what is the world's reaction to a country that supports, condones, and carries out such procedures as a "matter of law?" Nothing. And the Democrats honestly think that we can simply "talk" to this sort of people.

Racist Facts in Charlotte

Are facts racist? According to the NAACP, they are. Yet again, the racist liberals who run the NAACP are complaining that someone has mentioned facts. And yes, of course, they are demanding an apology. Fortunately, one does not seem to be forthcoming. More and more these lunatics that run the NAACP are being seen for their idiocy.

This time there's primarily two facts that the NAACP doesn't like. First is that more than 60% of Charlotte's gang members are black -- and the majority of victims of gang violence are also black. The second fact that offends the NAACP is that 85% of the people observed committing crimes during July 4th celebrations in Charlotte were black.

Know what's offensive to me? That so many people are joining gangs and comitting crimes. However, the NAACP clearly has no problem with the gangs or with the crimes. They are only complaining because someone pointed out that the majority of people committing the crime happen to be black. We're told today that we're supposed to "celebrate" our differences and point out different cultures. Know what? ANY culture that shows they have a tendency to commit crimes and join gangs stinks. Yes, that is offensive. I'm offended. But not because those who are committing crimes happen to have a certain skin color -- but because the culture of that sort of person is celebrated instead of condemned.

I think the NAACP needs to take more lessons from Bill Cosby...
