They are gonna bail on things if Obama doesn’t keep the status quo as to Israel and the Islamic states that threaten them.

I’d bail, were I them, because Obama is gonna hang them out to dry anyway….

More HERE.

I guess it comes down to “either you fix it, or we will”.

My guess is that Mr. Obama won’t step up. So the state of Irael will do what is best for the state of Israel.

Bet that the rest of the islamic states just stand there and watch, as they are effectively powerless to stop it.

They will cry and moan, and scream about the innocent people killed and the violation of airspace and all that, but in the end, they will respect Israel as a worthy adversary, rather than a pushover like the US under Mr. Obama.

Of course, we all know that the Iranians are only enriching uranium for peaceful purposes. We can trust ’em….sure we can……they haven’t ever broken promises before.

SO the money that the taxpayers gave to Chrysler does not get paid back…..EVER. We the people get fucked and the unions and the fatcats get kissed. We’d have done better to burn the money….

NICE. Where can I get a deal like that???? Read the article….notice that the entire amount of money spent on the Big 3 could have purchased all of their competitors…..

Theft on a grand enough scale and it isn’t theft apparently.

Interesting comments on Cap and Trade…

“Think back to 1905.

The Wright brothers had just made history. Coal and wood heated homes. Few had telephones or electricity. AC units were handheld fans. Ice blocks cooled ice boxes. New York City collected 900,000 tons of vehicle emissions – horse manure – annually, and dumped it into local rivers. Lung and intestinal diseases were rampant. Life expectancy was 47.

Today, President Obama wants to prevent “runaway global warming,” by slashing US carbon dioxide emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. According to Oak Ridge National Laboratory data, this reduction would return the United States to emission levels last seen in those halcyon days of 1905!”

And:

“In 1862 the Civil War was raging. Nine of ten Americans were farmers (versus 2% today). The industrial revolution was in its infancy. Malaria halted construction on the Washington, DC aqueduct. Typhus and cholera killed thousands more every year. Life expectancy was 40 – half of what affordable hydrocarbon, hydroelectric and nuclear power helped make it today. “

I betcha that the “elite” will not reduce their lifestyle to accommodate a reduced carbon footprint….A la AlGore’s huge energy gobbling mansion and houseboat…and private jets to all those lectures he gives….

But the rest of us……?

I bet that there is a population reduction thought in there somewhere too….

If the cap and trade reduction thing is gonna work, it’s gotta be global (not that I think it’s needed, but that’s another discussion for another time…) The US’s per capita and per acre emissions are lower that India and China….No matter what we do, they dwarf our emissions.

So what exactly is he trying to accomplish? Just more tax revenue???

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye and see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. — Frank Herbert, Dune

Look: this might be something…..it might not. Either you are prepared for this, or you aren’t. You cannot really prep in a week, and to be honest, if you aren’t prepped, then you don’t have the correct mindset yet, and you cannot get that overnight, nor can you prep overnight….

So either you are prepped, in which case you have no reason to worry, or you aren’t prepped, in which case you can’t do much to fix it quickly, so why worry….

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration……”

Stuff like THIS is why a 9-11 type event will happen again. Because we have a white house staffed by vapid, live in the “now” thinking people, we can be assured that there will be another event. It appears that the Obama white house is still in 9-10 mode, not 9-11 mode. If the events of 9-11 are that far removed 8 years later, what makes any of us think that they can remember that there are terrorists out there that hate the US, or even countries that hate the US?

I mean, really…. to fly a plane at low altitude over the New York metro area for a photo op? Never thinking that it might remind people of 9-11-01? If they can’t think that far, or have forgotten 9-11, then really, can they think of past attacks and still remember why the country needs to be alert for people like those that attacked us in the past? Perhaps they can;t think of anyone that wishes harm to the US, because for the past several years there has been no attacks on the US, so there must be no threat…..

Assholes…… I bet the people of New York are glad that they voted for Mr. Obama right now…..

Airplanes at low altitude…. New York…..Whoda thunk that people might still remember???

ETA: I wonder how many carbon credits we must purchase to offset a few hours of 747 time that this ill conceived “photo op” required….

Jennifer has some thoughts about all the hububaloo about the fact that the FBI was taking pictures of the Tea Party events.

Like her, I really don’t give a shit if they have my face at the Tea Parties or anywhere else. I exercised my 1st amendment rights, broke no law, and I do not gear the government. If they choose to disappear me Take Me Away, kicking and screaming and biting, etc, they might find it hard and somewhat unhealthy (lead poisoning and all that)…They can, if they wish, do so. But will they bother?

But I really don’t worry about it. If they think I am dangerous enough to be put on a list for watching, then a: I have won, they fear me…. and b: The watchers will get awfully bored.

But that remains to be seen. I actually think that this is a scare tactic to discourage people form attending the NEXT Tea Party. But I doubt that many will be scared (or care) enough to refrain from attending.

But Pres. Obama doesn’t want to admit it . He’d rather only give you the nice safe sanitized politically correct version. He’d rather not admit that with some people, reason doesn’t work. Without the “advanced interrogation techniques” there would have been at least one, and more than likely several additional attacks on the US and it’s citizens.

But to admit that would show all of his attacks on GWB and the rest of his administration to be hollow and under false pretenses..

But the truth comes out eventually.

Today is Patriots Day. “When Colonel Smith moved into the countryside to collect these arms and munitions gathered by the patriot militia, hostilities erupted at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Soon afterward, militia contingents from places throughout New England took up positions outside Boston, putting the city under siege”.

Also the end of the “midnight ride of Paul Revere”. He and others helped the revolution by delivering timely warnings to the “rebels” in order that the English could not confiscate the armory and weapons at Lexington and Concord, thereby making sure that the local citizens had at least as much firepower as the English army. By doing so, they made sure that the good citizens remained citizens instead of subjects. Paul was arrested by the British and detained, and his horse confiscated.

Having the powder and shot, as well as additional weapons, made sure that the English could not enslave the colonists, and led to the revolutionary war, and eventually the country that we call the USA. We can debate many things, but we all must accept that this is indeed a Very Special Day. In my (not so terribly) humble opinion, today should rank as highly as July 4th. Today was the beginning of the new country as much as July 4th. Moreso, perhaps. For had those brave and courageous souls not rebelled, and rather taken the easy and safe path, the country might not exist, and we might never have gotten the wonderful constitution that makes this country so great. Today is the day we should celebrate! Today was the beginning of our country’s greatness. Today, in 1775, was the acts of rebellion and bravery that started our country.

Of course, today also marks a day of murder of our citizens by the government, and a day where the rest of us stood by and watched. Today is the day that the BATF killed 76 men, women, and children because of their religious beliefs. Today is the day where the rest of the country let that happen with no consequences. Today should be a day of shame where those of us who were alive at that time and able to shoulder arms failed those folks at Waco, TX. We failed them because we allowed their murderers to remain free, and never demanded an accounting for their actions.
We should remember this day with shame because of that. Today is a day we should hang our heads in shame, for we did not demonstrate in modern times the spirit and fortitude of our country’s founders.

Today is both a day of wonder and pride, and a day of shame. Today should be remembered and held sacred moreso than any other national secular holiday.

Let us remember it for all of those, and decide that the first shall happen again if needed, and the second shall never again happen, on this or any other date no matter what the cost. For if we allow such actions again, we allow the slow death of our country and our national pride, and begin down the path to darkness.
