Kin ya tell me

Where any of this is wrong?

’cause I fear that it isn’t.

What happened to the republic that I was taught about in school?

Yeah, I know that it has been slowly eroding, chiseled away bit by bit by the liberals and the “Progressives”. Probably has been that way since well before I was born.

But the country in which I was raised, which I came to believe so strongly for, which allowed me to take pride in the title “U.S. Citizen” has, in not so many years, disappeared. Roadblocks for hard working people, disincentives for folks to make money (and, generally not coincidentally, jobs for others).  Fewer and fewer taxpaying citizens, more illegal immigrants and a whole lot more folks leeching off the rest of society….encouraged to do so by the same government which forcibly takes from the productive and gives to the non productive.

Now this. The outlandish ruling by the Supreme Court. That (once highly held, but no longer) bastion of “Right” and constitutionality. A ruling which gives great power to the federal (and eventually state and local) government. A ruling which upholds their power to coerce you to purchase goods and services and penalize you with a “tax” when you choose not to.

I would never advocate violence against those Justices. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they should see some. They have turned traitor to their oaths. They have perverted their office. They have damaged the Constitution which they swore to uphold.

I truly know not what to do. Where to turn. Where to go. The liberals and Progressives appear to have won.  What choice the US or Europe? Without the laws and rules and limits placed on government by the Constitution, what separates this country from all the rest?

Even if we legislatively get rid of the mismash called “Obamacare” the precedent is set. It will be used against the productive and free citizens of this country again. The Supreme Court ruling will stand forever and another chunk of the greatness of this country, chipped away, leaving the foundation damaged and the rest tottering will be the legacy.

I fear for my country, I fear for the countrymen who made this country the greatest and most productive in the world. I fear for the productive citizens who work hard today, but, like me, see no future. See no hope. See nowhere else to go. Nowhere to run to, to escape to. Nowhere to get away from those who would tear down rather than build up, who would take from those who do and give to those who don’t. Who would damage their country in doing so.

Sometimes I wish that our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers would have shot each socialist as they entered the country and burned the bodies in a great big pile weekly, instead of leaving us to deal with the festering pestilence that they have spread across this country.

Thoughts

Tue Supremes wimped out. They should have either upheld it, or invalidated it. This half assed shit is for the birds

One the one hand, they weakened the arguments for the power of the commerce clause.

On the other hand, they said that Congress can tax you for anything, essentially.

So now they can tax you if you don’t buy a product or service.

I am not unexpectedly, disappointed. Greatly.

I do have one question though. WIll this tax apply to everyone: poor, black, white, wealthy, male, Hispanic, Asian, straight, female, gay, etc? Or will there be exemptions for certain groups? Will we all be equal under the law? (yeah, I know….stop laughing).

It would seem to me that these Justices lack any significant amount of intestinal fortitude. They don’t have the guts to make a real decision.

And that sucks….’cause they are (supposed to be) the final word regarding laws and constitutionality. And they wimped out here…yet again.

And, again, the power now going to the IRS via taxation is going to be huge. The powers they will have over your life is going to grow. 

The only good thing about this is that Romney (spit) will have something to use as a slogan (repeal, repeal, repeal) and message that he can use over and over and over. And this will give him a rallying point around which his supporters and others can agree. So we end up with a slightly less bad president. A slightly less liberal weenie.

How to make shit smell tasty….

and other types of spin.

Done here with a great deal of flair and style.

If I hadn’t heard of Fast and Furious and learned the details before reading THIS, then I’d have to think that it was ok.

ETA: It occurred to me that IF the limitations and obstacles hobbling the agents are actually that big of a deal, then the fact that they continued shows, at best, incompetence (and, at worst, malfeasance).

I mean, if you can’t do something because of those pesky laws, or because the rest of the justice system won’t cooperate, then why continue, knowing the results will be bad? Knowing that you will be facilitating the movement of illegal firearms beyond the borders? Not to mention the fact that thy failed to inform, much less cooperate with, the relevant Mexican authorities.

I got two words for you

Bring

It.

Go here for an explanation.

“General” TACO:

You won’t like the ending.

At all.

Guaranteed.

And at the end of the kerfluffle, yes, all black people’s problems will, indeed, be solved.

But not in the way you think.

Talk is cheap.

And you are as disgusting as those KKK assholes.

But, when you think yer ready, Bring It.

‘Cause there’s a lot more folks on the other side who are ready right now, than you think.

Yer shit might work in a “blue” city, maybe. But everywhere else, you’ll lose. Badly.

You really don’t wanna start nuthin’.

All your posing and mean looks and tough talk might impress those poor inner city youths. But it ain’t gonna mean shit to the rest of the country.

Like I said, you really won’t like how it ends. Few whites want a real race war. But you can, if you try hard enough, find one. And you’d better be prepared for the damage your race will take. It won’t be pretty on either side, but you’ll take the lions share of the damage. And you’ll bring shit down on a bunch of good people, white and black, who don’t deserve it.

And you’ll still lose. And so will your “people”. Badly.

TSA at their best

Hours of watching hundreds people pass through a metal detector and never once did a light flash or a sound emerge. Yet he had no clue that the metal detector was not plugged in.

And the TSA “had no choice” but to further inconvenience people by making planes return to the gates so the passengers could be rescreened, and forcing everyone in the terminal to pass again through the metal detectors.

Now, I am no expert on terrorism, nor on hijacking….But if I were so  inclined, and the nice (arabic surnamed) TSA agent had allowed me to pass through the non working security device, What makes you think that I would carry my weapon back through the security line again rather than secrete it in the “secure area” or in the plane before returning to the security for rescreening?

And I wonder what sort of disciplinary action isn’t being applied to the (apparently oblivious) pizza delivery reject TSA agent?

Remember, Security Theater, nothing more
