Yust in case you forgot

12 years ago, the USS COLE was attacked in Yemen.

You’d think that some of the folks supposed to be looking out for the interests of the US and the security thereof would maybe remember who did the attacking…and what part of the world such things happen in (and where the perpetrators come from). But they don’t. Apparently all that eduction means nothing, as there are some (supposedly) really smart people being paid big bucks to make the decisions as to how to protect things on certain dates in certain parts of the world. But they sure make some stupid decisions about that stuff

USS Cole (DDG 67) underway

Not so much:

Total temperature rise in the last 15 years?

Exactly ZERO.

Not that you’ll hear about it on the MainStream Media.

And now the denials begin:

1. You can’t use 15 years as a basis to predict anything…(except that they always have).

B. There are more factors than just temperature (what we “deniers” have said all along!

And others yet to be heard…

 Is Global Warming Climate Change real? Maybe. Maybe not.

But we have wasted spent an awful lot of money (and enriched a great number of connected people in the process) to Do Something subsidize a renewable energy infrastructure that is ineffective for about the last 5 years or so….To what real effect?  

We have given an awful lot of money to, and subsidized the salaries of a significant number of “researchers” to prove….what?

We have strangled businesses and damaged our economy to make exactly what change in the environment? 

We have paid for a large number of “elites” to jet about the world in 1/3 full airplanes and spew How Many? tons of carbon from their private jets as they flock to exotic locations to “discuss” the “issues” in a party atmosphere group setting (rather than use video conferencing or other methods to save all that carbon and wasted energy) and accomplish exactly what?

Someday our descendants will look back and laugh at us for allowing this to happen. 

One day soon:

We are gonna have to think about things in this stark reality:

The weapons are different today than they were in the 16 and 1700’s. The song was written in 1980. But the reference is old. Very old.
 They had it in them then, do you have it in you today?  ‘Cause likely, soon, the time will come when yer gonna have to decide if it is in you or not.
And that is gonna determine your future. Serf or Citizen? They are eroding your rights and freedoms by stealth and incrementalism….. What are you gonna do when they become open and quick about it? When they come for your freedom and the tools by which you ensure it?
Think now, Decide now. Find your line now. 
While you can………While you have the time to do so.
Before you must.


Damned straight

You should show this to every cop you know. Good cops especially.

I have a chip on my shoulder for the cop who thinks that his job is to project power or to keep the citizens under control. Who think that rather than gently and peacefully taking control of a situation in a polite and respectful manner where possible rather than shooting or striking people who may or may not be involved in a situation is the best tactic.

I respect the cops who act like they are dealing with people, Who act as if they had a job to do, and who treat those they deal with respectfully and do their job by treating people as citizens rather than serfs. I know many, and consider some of them friends.

Riots if Obama loses?

One of the largest differences between the Republican leaning conservative voting block and the DNC leaning liberal voting block is the method by which they express their anger and disappointment.

Lets face it, If the conservative bunch chose to riot and rampage, the destruction and death toll would be huge.

But we don’t. We retrench and wait for the next opportunity. We don’t destroy our community and that of others. We don’t riot and loot. We just wait for the next opening to change things.

Not so with the folks who are liberal and organized by the DNC and their minions.

They’ll riot at the drop of a hat. Many of them will have nothing to lose, it’s not like you’ll lose your job if you don’t show because you are in jail if you are on welfare or receiving other “entitlements”. Nor are that groups rules for behavior the same as conservatives.

So what happens when Obama loses (if he does, if Mitt can keep from screwing up the momentum he currently has)?

Some say riots in the streets. Maybe race riots.

If I lived in a large city with a significant “entitlement” population, I’d be cautious. I’d stock some extra food and water. Maybe make plans to park my automobiles in a safer and more secure place than on the street. Perhaps make plans to be elsewhere shortly after the election.

Mobs are cruel. Mobs are uncaring. Mobs can turn at any moment from “mostly peaceful” protest to terribly violent riots.

I’d be prepared for that, if I lived in a city that was largely “Blue” and had a significant portion of the population fed and clothed and housed via government payments.

Luckily, I don’t live in an area like that. If you do, I’d consider making plans.

So a man walks into a bank.

May I help you? says the teller

“You bet yer sweet ass you can”, the man replies.” I wanna open an account in this fucking bank, sweetie”.

“I don’t have to deal with language like that, sir”, she says.

“Well, then, sweet cheeks, go get your manager!” he replies.

She leaves her station, gets the manager, explains the issue, and he comes over.

“How can I help you sir?” He asks, somewhat stiffly.

“Look, I just won 98 million bucks in the lottery, and I need to open a fucking bank account”, says the man.

“Oh, and was this stupid bitch not helping you?” says the manager….
