Yeah, lets have that conversation:

I’ll let MR. Williams start.

Feel free to rebut in comments. 

My Grandfather always said that Welfare would destroy the black people. THis was in the late 70’s and early 80’s.

He was right, as far as I can see.

Via 

And if that makes me a “raciss”. then so be it. Decent people of any race won’t care. If yer a lowlife, then it doesn’t matter what color you are.

If you are a decent person, it won’t either. 

An ass kicking of epic proportions

Would be the result of this betrayal.

Seriously. You’d never be able to run fast enough or far enough.

And you’d be looking over your shoulder forever, until I found my dog.

Maybe even after that.

A betrayal of this magnitude is…..unthinkable.

I’d like to know names, just so I could kick the betrayer of I ever saw him/her.

There is a special place in hell for folks that would do this.

Pass this on. Maybe it’ll help. 

4.1 MILLION $

of our (the taxpayers money).

For 4 days in a cell with no food or water.

I don’t doubt that he was left, handcuffed, for 4 days with no food nor water.

I don’t doubt that he suffered.

I don’t doubt that he deserves some settlement.

But why should WE, the taxpayers pay? And that excessive amount?

4.1 Million dollars. I think it is high. But I also think that it should come from the people responsible, not we the taxpayers.

I didn’t keep him there…nor did you.

If we are to ay such exorbitant settlements, then our employees, those DEA agents and staff, should be charged.

With attempted murder.
Tried and, when found guilty (if there is enough proof for the settlement, then there should be enough proof to convict them),  sentenced to life.

Their jobs and pensions stripped and applied to the settlement.

And anyone who was in their supervisiry chain should be fired and barred from working a federal job again.

Instead, it is we, the taxpayers,  who foot the bill for the settlement.

I don’t know the fate of the agents and staff. But whatever their punishment, it isn’t enough.

A momentary lapse of Season

Christ. It was 51 degrees (f) last night and the night before. Not quite a new record low, but close. But the lowest daily high temperature on record…

In July.

The end of July.

Where are the Glowbal Warmening Climate Change folks?…THey should be crying about Global COOLING.

Oh, yeah, if it it cooler than average for a day or two, it is weather….If it is warmer than normal for even a day, it is mankind induced climate change leading to Thermageddon!!!!.

IT did make for a pleasant weekend working outside.

A reading

Thought for the day:

From “The Velveteen Rabbit”

“What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by
side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. “Does
it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”

“Real
isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse. “It’s a thing that
happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just
to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.”

“Does it hurt?” asked the Rabbit.

“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. “When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”

“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”

“It
doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse. “You become. It takes
a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break
easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved
off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very
shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real
you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

“I
suppose you are real?” said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not
said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin
Horse only smiled.

“The Boy’s Uncle made me Real,” he said. “That
was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can’t become
unreal again. It lasts for always.”

–Margery Williams

You’ll either understand, or not. 

IF this were you or me, we’d be in jail.

But, being cops, they are excused from wrongdoing.

Police in Fort Worth, Texas, are blaming “poor lighting” after two officers went to the wrong home in search of a possible burglar and ended up shooting a 72-year-old man dead in his garage.

Why?

They should be charged with manslaughter, at a minimum. Second degree murder seems even more appropriate.

But the police (and the union) will defend them. They were just “doing their Job” and they needed to “make sure that they went home safe”.

Here’s how they’ll get the leaders

of the “Opposition”

First they’ll get your passwords without you knowing.

Then they’ll send illegal material to you and open it using your email password. Or, using your email and password, send something containing an illegal item

If the attachments contained, say,espionage items, government secrets or child porn, you are screwed. Especially if they “originated” from your email.

And you don’t have any idea that they are doing it until the authorities kick down your door and arrest you. Yes, I am sure they will have a warrant this time. After all, the proof is right there in your email, and internet history, isn’t it?

But the behavior of the “Justice” Department under Eric Holder would not leave such actions unthinkable, now would they?

Think I am crazy? Maybe I am.  But I’ve been called that before. I could actually be crazy….But I think I am not.
 
Best thing to do is upgrade your passwords to include both upper and lower case letters and a special symbol, such as !,@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,) etc.

But if the NSA works at it, they are gonna break your password.

You can, if using Gmail, have them send a secondary login (text)to your phone, but I don’t know if this would help against the NSA.

Yeah, I am paranoid (and maybe crazy), but then again, I was paranoid when  I said that the NSA was watching your cell phone and reading your email a few years ago….Wasn’t I?

Watch your back. and your email.

Hard to argue with:

I’ve been pussyfooting around the race issue for a while.

Never could come up with the words to say what I wanted to say.

And, while there are issues with racism and racial bias in this country, there seems to me to be a disconnect…..

This says it well. Read it. Tell me where he is wrong.

There are many advantages for black people, if they are willing to take them. Hiring preferences, scholarship preferences, grants and other incentives that just simply don’t exist for the rest of us.

Of course, one of the big barriers to such incentives and advantages is that you cant’t be a criminal. Can’t have a criminal record. Can’t be a drug user. Gotta behave and be a decent person. Might even help if you didn’t speak with such an accent that most people cannot understand you.

If that is bias, or racism, then I just don’t see how to help.

If your whole lifestyle is based on being a criminal, taking whatever you can get today, and never having a thought for the future….Then you cannot ever elevate yourself in this society. At least not the one which I live in, and which many complain that they are restricted from.

Again: Read this. Pass it on. Tell me where the author is mistaken.

You should read this.

All of this.

all the links

watch all the videos.

think.

As goes Detroit, (with a Democratic Government) so shall go the country with the sme type of government.

(and yes, I expect that we will have at least another 4 years after Obama, as the RNC can’t seem to get it’s head out of it’s ass….)

You got palns for when your neighborhood looks like Detroit? We are heading that way.

Holder on SYG

So Eric Holder thinks that we should cower in fear and run at any threat.

Never defend yourself or your property.

He would perhaps best be served by going to another place, like, perhaps, England, where the people are sheep and evil rules the night and much of the day. Where criminals heve no fear and where decent people are not allowed to defend themselves.

I don’t want to live in a place like that….A place where I have to run from bullies and threats. Where retreat is the order of the day.

When the police retreat, the perhaps I will consider it.

When Holders bodyguards stop carrying firearms, and he runs away from every threat (when possible) then I’ll consider following Holders advice.
