While there are many who think that we are being boiled slowly (see the parable about the frog if you are unsure what I am talking about) THIS is a sure way to turn up the heat fast enough to get the attention of those who have so far been complacent enough to allow the rest of the socialization plans happen (GM, Dodge, Tarp, The “Bailout”, and, or course, the Health Care Plan.. 

Screw with my retirement account/IRA?Bad Idea….. Social Security is a failure, and so far, is paying LESS than 3% on monies taken at gunpoint by the government contributed to the accounts by the workers.

You wanna start a revolution? Turn up the hat so that the frog notices? This is one of the best ways that I can think of. And it worked so well in Argentina, to. That once vibrant economy is in the shitter now, all thanks to policies which the DNC and their president, Mr. Unicorn, he of HopenChange  wish to follow exactly.

Methinks that I would be better to take the penalty, withdraw my IRA’s, and invest them as other types of accounts and pay the tax penalty.As the federal government has failed to do anything well in my lifetime, I do not trust them at all to handle my retirement account , much less provide me with a decent return. And, of course, there is the question.of what happens to the monies when/if I die? Who gets the cash then?

While this rumor has been around for 2+ years, it won’t die, and is gaining traction. And with socialists in the government, and in a majority in congress who must be aware of the fact that their majority will end in November 2010,…What have they to lose by pushing this agenda as well? Anything to further the socialist cause.

Methinks that this will finally blow the top off the socialist agenda and cause people to wake up enough t say “Stop”. I only hope that is is not too late to engage the brakes…

Seems that the wind blew down one of my neighbors trees. Which is not a big deal, except that my barn cushioned the fall of said tree.

Hard to tell how much damage, but the roof now leaks and I can see broken wood.

At least no one was hurt. (Except the insurance companies).

SRSLY….. Then things got WIERD

WTF? Puppies…Escaping on a bulldozer? From Hells Angels? WTF? OVER?

Interesting points HERE.

and a loss to the Democrats who would squelch opposing viewpoints.

Sometimes I think Nancy Pelosi should be shot for her blatant violation of her oath.

Other times, just beaten severely.

At least SOME of our legislators seem to have some sense, and some integrity.

And eventually, the dairy farmers…..

See, it’s not about clean air or water, it’s about control. 

I would wager that there are other things which have a significantly greater impact on our water than the occasional large amount of spilled milk. Will the good enforcers from the EPA begin with the stormwater runoff from parking lots (which contains a significant amount of crankcase oil from cars that leak? Cities and towns flow large amounts of oil from roads and parking lots through their storm drains each and every time it rains. This all ends up in a river, stream, or lake. How about the salt in northern climates? Tons of salt wash into the storm drains, and eventually into the rivers and streams.

It is easier to go after farmers, small ones, than it is to go after big cities and such.
But the reach of the EPA is becoming too great for their grasp. The backlash will be significant. The EPA is full of folks who thing that mankind is the major pollutant. And at some point, they must be reigned in. Perhaps that time is now?

I wasn’t going to post anything today (on the theory that it is best to be silent,and thought of as a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt), but then I came across this:

Linoge has a good point. Click the link, follow his links.

In effect, the US has lost control over a portion of its territory. ANd the powers that be do not seem to care. Perhaps we citizens should?

I mean, we could carpool or something. Spend a week…..Get some range time….

you know. That sort of thing.

Seems that NOAA is trying to discredit one of their main critics.

Apparently they don’t like him because he is refuting their institutional mindset.

The measuring stations are the reason for the increase in measured temperature, not the actual climate.

Is toast.
