It's ridiculous to suggest that these annoying, intrusive and offensive searches and pat-downs will stop the real terrorists. If anything it strains the system that should be looking out for the likely suspects, which of course are THOSE WHO CAN'T BE NAMED. <br /><br />And Big Sis's article was equally laughable. It had the tenor and style belonging to some one running a elementary school, sending out a letter to unruly students that were angry about recess being cut short. Meanwhile those bastions of intellect and truth to power like the LA Times and the New York Times and advising us to "<a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-security-20101117,0,4648575.story">Shut up and be scanned</a>". <br /><br />How about NO, we won't shut up, and NO you can't grope or scan us.<br /><br />How is it that suddenly the NYTs and LATs is suddenly concerned about terrorism and security? Right....<br /><br />The TSA are NOT an actual police force. I can't imagine they have much training beyond the basic functions of their job. They should have no authority to do what they are doing at all. Period. A real peace officer should be called in IF AND WHEN there is <strong>probable cause</strong> and they can do the check. Professionally, one would hope.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-2854064866529215042010-11-16T22:37:00.000-08:002010-11-16T22:56:19.492-08:00Don't Touch My Rattle<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEZZYdH_9k5fGvu015nGoZLYogTn09kAqcYazHZSG8RHOlAKGHZza5XEcEChwxwzsWESVDP_HqLHV_GlwbKpE5ROjDxWWck2o1NovcNgOmHBcZGaGwnwcoH1TPGHfohGRQZ5mxx4oEzj9/s1600/spinal_tap_airport.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEZZYdH_9k5fGvu015nGoZLYogTn09kAqcYazHZSG8RHOlAKGHZza5XEcEChwxwzsWESVDP_HqLHV_GlwbKpE5ROjDxWWck2o1NovcNgOmHBcZGaGwnwcoH1TPGHfohGRQZ5mxx4oEzj9/s320/spinal_tap_airport.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540408497715281058" /></a><br />I've been meaning to write about the new naked-scanners and the TSA pat down frenzy for several weeks however an extreme case of laziness has prevented from me from acting on this. I have to say I am more than pleased to see the objections grow to their current size and fury during the time I couldn't get around to writing about it. <br /><br />I believe that following the election at the beginning of the month everyday Americans have realized that they can in fact take control of a situation. With this new found spirit of '76 it was inevitable that the TSA would run into trouble with the scanners and the ridiculous pat down procedure. Perhaps the Tea Partiers could alter the "Don't Tread On Me" flag to say "Don't Touch My Rattle" and use it as banner. Twisted Sisters' "We're not Gonna Take it" could be the anthem.<br /><br />At what point do people just say "enough of this bullshit" and stand up? Let us see. I predict (using my amazing powers of prediction) that the TSA will be DOA in a few years. I also would be surprised to see the current shake down pat down would survive for Christmas. But then I'm an optimist!20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-17675413260154004512010-11-02T21:32:00.000-07:002010-11-02T21:48:22.320-07:00Elections & Erections<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8KVJ0GV_rrlFSOZDp_DyNuxnbwGdqBecDtUvOoKZtBKoF9Fi8hYe2Wm7pQHG3iQhzQM6dfXJYyiFimaw-gKxN-7vGcs-VcM6TZ8CpycHFOvmjXnsKufpwZp2_4l2Bn8Uh-kDzidYBjv3t/s1600/Tard.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8KVJ0GV_rrlFSOZDp_DyNuxnbwGdqBecDtUvOoKZtBKoF9Fi8hYe2Wm7pQHG3iQhzQM6dfXJYyiFimaw-gKxN-7vGcs-VcM6TZ8CpycHFOvmjXnsKufpwZp2_4l2Bn8Uh-kDzidYBjv3t/s320/Tard.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535179676543001458" /></a><br />For shame to those conservatives who hung their heads in defeat back in 2008 (or like that Green Football guy, jumped ship) because Obama won. If you truly believe that the lefts policies are doomed to fail, why despair? It was only a matter of time before the Dems screwed things up badly enough that normal folk would run the other direction. <br /><br />And oh how they've run. <br /><br />Well... I am sad to see that Boxer survived the night. I haven't seen if Reid has as well. Those two pompous twats would not be missed. But that aside it looks very good. I don't expect the Senate will be won but still with Congress in the bag, and the Senate at least close it will throw a wrench into the works of the socialist machine.<br /><br />Now it's all a matter of voting fraud for the Dems.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-67344014899128946042010-10-31T22:49:00.000-07:002010-10-31T23:11:47.239-07:00Some Thoughts on Nov 2nd<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4uNq9FJ4xYnplQ5fQ9It2dZV-p6RYYw0wQZI8frPSF3ZJqFtL2HtajLl66PuGbTR7LgvDtj7aNs7QgM5S-m1yjBArXTpKuNnR_f_Mtk5yzTSSwckrletds2chyphenhyphen1RRjQ42mWI3mBQj11op/s1600/wb_signing_frog.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 304px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4uNq9FJ4xYnplQ5fQ9It2dZV-p6RYYw0wQZI8frPSF3ZJqFtL2HtajLl66PuGbTR7LgvDtj7aNs7QgM5S-m1yjBArXTpKuNnR_f_Mtk5yzTSSwckrletds2chyphenhyphen1RRjQ42mWI3mBQj11op/s320/wb_signing_frog.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534459550004994386" /></a><br />I haven't been blogging much because I've had other items to attend to. However I thought I'd say a few things prior to the US Election. I've already predicted way back in the spring that the Dems will get their asses handed to them. However I am truly worried about election fraud and other typical leftist shenanigans. <br /><br />The John Stewart rally struck me as totally pathetic. Stewart is not funny. He's the smart ass guy at the back of the class taking the piss out of the Science teachers checked trousers, nothing more. Mr. Know it all, Mr. Sneer. He is a poor imitation of what Chevy Chase did well on Saturday Night Live decades ago. <br /><br />Colbert is another sad case. The walking talking straw man. If conservatives were of color perhaps he'd put on black face and sing negro spirituals. What he does is no different. He pretends to be a conservative, but isn't, and as a pretend conservative he can say the things that we don't really say, but all the self important progressives THINK we say. <br /><br />So 30,000 people showed up at their rally. Great.<br /><br />Cat Stevens?? I'm sorry but why exactly would you invite that old twat? I hated Cat Stevens long before he became a self-righteous Islamic mouthpiece. I hated his flaccid-dick bearded hippy strumming back in the 1970s. But that's just me. I don't understand what point inviting him makes. Are the youth of today interested in this guy? Do they even know who he is other than some crap their bra less hippy Aunt listens to? I don't know. All I know is if Stewart and Colbert were trying to out do Glenn Beck they failed.<br /><br />As for tomorrow's vote... It would be nice to think that what has been happening, slowly over the last however many years, with more and more intrusive "guidance" from our betters could be stopped at the ballot box. Let's hope it does.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-76061774390508219472010-10-05T21:32:00.000-07:002010-10-05T22:16:11.017-07:00About that "Mubai Style"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpfhNwdUARJYugeTnpwSf7GuG0YjQ-f9D1mWxhHWLuK7zVacnygqGEo40CLxdJxM99zcUJgqEyYPfmyb4BcC2iicKJYacm9Pq6VOAjW8ofH7TBpCl97eXbjH_SttgmA0mNRpGaMhWY0wJ/s1600/photo-SAS-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 269px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJpfhNwdUARJYugeTnpwSf7GuG0YjQ-f9D1mWxhHWLuK7zVacnygqGEo40CLxdJxM99zcUJgqEyYPfmyb4BcC2iicKJYacm9Pq6VOAjW8ofH7TBpCl97eXbjH_SttgmA0mNRpGaMhWY0wJ/s320/photo-SAS-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524795666875011666" /></a><br />The recent alerts about a "Mubai style" terror attack in Europe should bring home the fact that talking nicey nice to a bunch of murderous religious fanatics is not very affective. The best policy is to either lock them up forever or shoot them. The West ignored the rise of these nutters and has suffered for it. Everyone (the press) seems to have forgotten the planned Salsberg Christmas attack from 2000. The usual suspects were arrested by German police a day before they could pull it off, and the authorities only learned what the target was AFTER the arrest when they reviewed the terrorists recon videos. <br /><br />Every big attack that has occurred in the West had dry runs or lesser versions in the third world. Even the September 11th attacks were originally planned and dry runs were conducted in the Philippines. The biggest fear for the West should be that the terrorists abandon their desire for spectacular attacks and go for small arms and mayhem. Four or five guys on a roof with a mortar tube and some rifles during some big event could cause untold horror and panic. <br /><br />The difference though with Mubai and carrying an attack out in Europe or North America would be the response. There would be no video of Police hiding behind pillars while the terrorists rampage. Quite the opposite. The Europeans have had decades of terror problems and besides the usual well armed well trained special police response teams nations like Germany, France England and others have specific military units whose sole purpose is to deal with terrorists. Units like England's S.A.S. or Germany's GSG9 would not be reading any one their "rights". It is also doubtful there would be as much confusion in the response as there was in Mubai. This isn't to say the scenario wouldn't result in horror but it certainly wouldn't go on as long. Let's just hope it never happens.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-56603491543865924292010-09-28T20:41:00.000-07:002010-09-27T21:00:45.299-07:00Sesame Street for Boomers?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-59VcRSabzQrr5YWSvfoMQfpScmOd7fjBWGRKcWvXkDFu_pmrN31T_cDMgtl52BdAMh5y4ZmUGHkcVaIZW5xqTHl08DsjDhrLTcbZwAvNKIpeoO6neDlSvm9CZbbmN4Vb5BUrPKGbbUSQ/s1600/teletubbies-happypreview.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-59VcRSabzQrr5YWSvfoMQfpScmOd7fjBWGRKcWvXkDFu_pmrN31T_cDMgtl52BdAMh5y4ZmUGHkcVaIZW5xqTHl08DsjDhrLTcbZwAvNKIpeoO6neDlSvm9CZbbmN4Vb5BUrPKGbbUSQ/s320/teletubbies-happypreview.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5521807627816657074" /></a><br />I've read that it was Kate Perry's "cleavage" that was the issue with the Elmo skit being recently pulled NOT her outfit.

Even though I wasn't even American, this image, the theme and the idea seemed always around in the American media that came across the boarder. Perhaps this was partly do to the Bicentennial but I wonder why I haven't seen more of this used in the current climate. <br /><br />The "Don't Tread on Me" flag is an obvious choice for the mood of the day but I think the image of regular men throwing off the rule of Kings and claiming their own land free from tyranny is also appropriate. That is what is at stake. <br /><br />The free world is no longer "free". The West has fallen under the rule of multitude of busy-bodies and meddling do-gooders. These are the same bossy types who as Children we hated having as teachers. Talking down to us, regulating each thing we do and removing any hope for "fun". They must be voted out, and not just on the national level. How many municipalities, cities and counties have been also taken over by these zombies? All intent on making as many rules as possible for every one's own good.

Since the mid 1990s violent extremist Islam has popped up everywhere in the world. Looking to seek Islamic law through both legal and violent means a number of nations have slid into that sphere of influence. <br /><br />Now the retarded Hippies running Washington are clamping their little hands at the victory of democracy in Turkey. A change in the constitution that empowers the Islamist President to stack the courts in his favor. You can guess what will follow. <br /><br />So this is how its sits. We invade two countries to remove the evil bastards running them just to end up replacing them with people who either believe the same bullshit that the 9/11 terrorists did or who will make deals with those who do just to save their own skins. Now we've also lost Turkey, and are in the process of losing Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia to the Islamists. And let's not forget about Lebanon. What part of this should we be happy about? None of it.<br /><br />This will just keep coming at us until someone somewhere stands up and points out the obvious. Unfortunately, like Harry Potter, those with their wits intact are doomed to run around in circles trying to get the "grown ups" to speak the name of the enemy.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-22491805905070040982010-09-11T23:02:00.000-07:002010-09-12T23:35:42.649-07:009/11 Thoughts<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNA_ZqjgIVn_xdXBpZG3vIY7ITd5aQsPIZWofcmn6wK-9yVU6WlwRFL3ujR7E4U3Gk-QbP4Rcz1ZrU1pLSkiTH0NA1KxRf3823wIFybmdyiHMaAt5G61FoULPdBBDFDDnXj_BwUv5ZXqFB/s1600/mn_0_philippines_explo.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNA_ZqjgIVn_xdXBpZG3vIY7ITd5aQsPIZWofcmn6wK-9yVU6WlwRFL3ujR7E4U3Gk-QbP4Rcz1ZrU1pLSkiTH0NA1KxRf3823wIFybmdyiHMaAt5G61FoULPdBBDFDDnXj_BwUv5ZXqFB/s320/mn_0_philippines_explo.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516274600061455714" /></a><br /><br />Today of course is the day everyone remembers, as well they should. Islamic Terrorists killed over 3000 people in the name of their imaginary friend Allah. What I am still amazed by all these years later is how completely surprised people in North America were by this attack. No one in South East Asia was surprised by it and no one had any doubt "who" was behind it. The reason being was most of the world, from Africa to Asia had been under attack by Bin Laden's pals since the mid 1990s. <br /><br />On New Years Eve 2000 the Islamics set off bombs through out Metro Manila's elevated train system killing and wounding many. The entire previous year had been one terror attack after another. But who in the west cared? They were only killing Philippinos. Nothing worth the evening news unless a western tourist or expat gets killed.<br /><br />The threat of radical Islam was off the radar somehow. Even after the bombings in Africa and the USS Cole. I remember thinking while watching the news coverage of the USS Cole bombing that it was just a matter of time before they'd blow up something IN AMERICA.<br /><br />Many pundits talk about "pre-9/11 thinking" and the dangers there in. That same thinking seems to be back in effect. <br /><br />As for Koran burning, I agree that reading it makes more sense than burning it so that you know what you are really up against, however as far as those who burn it. Who cares? I don't. For the last decade I've had to hear about Islamics blowing up ancient Budhas, burning down churchs (often with people inside), killing priests, nuns, monks, teachers, local muslims who won't sign up, and so on. Never mind their endless flag burning. Why the hell should I worry about offending THEM? The ones who are jumping around protesting are the same ones who want to impose their bullshit beliefs on everyone. The same fellows who throw acid in the faces of unveiled women in Bangledesh. Or kill their daughters for some silly infranction.<br /><br />You want to burn a Koran, knock yourself out.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-5153391084887245392010-09-08T22:34:00.000-07:002010-09-08T23:01:32.015-07:00Narrow Casting<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqed4SHUa0OVcHGBWYlQoTFAm-7ghhYRvwL7cAuk8i-JJj_LwmUNj78AVlWJUajLjNYtlU1e0i0NFMLYBsCFIE_C67Km25d1TGFsrQD_hXjRbbFJWwYackk1IGlggA3Aq6jdnoXpjHHCTw/s1600/puppet.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqed4SHUa0OVcHGBWYlQoTFAm-7ghhYRvwL7cAuk8i-JJj_LwmUNj78AVlWJUajLjNYtlU1e0i0NFMLYBsCFIE_C67Km25d1TGFsrQD_hXjRbbFJWwYackk1IGlggA3Aq6jdnoXpjHHCTw/s320/puppet.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5514788503271899906" /></a><br />With much joy a new "right wing" entertainment Internet channel has arrived. It is called <a href="http://rightnetwork.com/"><strong>Rightnetwork</strong></a> and is supposedly going to be a place for conservative entertainment. While I do wish them all the best I have to admit that "Conservative Entertainment" sounds too much like "Christian Rock" for my liking. Having spent much of my life being endlessly subjected to Christian Rock by well meaning yet highly annoying family members I am all too familiar with what it is; derivative. For every successful band there will be eventually a Christian version doing a weaker version of what the original did four years prior. Thus I was getting CDs given to me (gee thanks loads) in 1996 of Christian bands that sounded like what Nirvana was doing in 1991. Except they were Christian.<br /><br />This is the danger of narrow casting. Instead of making conservative entertainment which sounds like PBS' Zoom "made by kids for kids", why not just make good entertainment and put it out there for everyone. Certainly the left stamping its tired old dogma on entertainment hasn't helped its cause. How hard could it be to compete in the free market?<br /><br />As far as entertainment goes I want to be entertained. NOT preached at. I don't care which side of the political side it comes from. <br /><br />As for Christian Rock, the only Christian Rock I ever actually enjoyed was Phil Keggy's Glass Harp. The reason being they wrote great songs and Phil Keggy is a great guitarist. Everything else I've been exposed to was never that great as usually I'd heard it done better by someone else before.<br /><br />I will keep checking out <a href="http://rightnetwork.com/">Rightnetwork</a> and see what its like. Perhaps it will entertain me.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-90008767786542401522010-09-02T22:19:00.000-07:002010-09-02T22:58:58.609-07:00Proof of God<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSRIzQWRkcmWoma6ttbCrl8RgGetalDYC37hztaEYTP1CsoRwrN_LqycP9-8nrkpOdC-TuhMuQ8PT97YfrGglEiX6Yizbhyphenhyphen7zw8nv5DTvhPqiLgyWpeoiKY90s7mnSUjenqKA_KrAhxsH2/s1600/monicastephen.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSRIzQWRkcmWoma6ttbCrl8RgGetalDYC37hztaEYTP1CsoRwrN_LqycP9-8nrkpOdC-TuhMuQ8PT97YfrGglEiX6Yizbhyphenhyphen7zw8nv5DTvhPqiLgyWpeoiKY90s7mnSUjenqKA_KrAhxsH2/s320/monicastephen.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512556634048489218" /></a><strong><em>The Proof of God is all around you Stephen</strong></em><br /><br />Super-Brainiac guy on wheels Stephen Hawking claims that he knows for sure there is NO GOD and God didn't create the universe. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11172158">Professor Stephen Hawking says no God created Universe</a><br /><br /><em>There is no place for God in theories on the creation of the Universe, the physicist and mathematician Professor Stephen Hawking has said.<br /><br />He had previously argued that belief in a creator was not incompatible with science - but in a new book The Grand Design, he concludes that the Big Bang was an inevitable consequence of the laws of physics.</em><br /><br />Well Stephen is certainly entitled to his opinion, as that is all it is. Unless he has some sort of incrediable powers that enable him to safely travel back to the formation of the cosmos, scan the area for signs of deity, then come back to the present day, how can he know for sure? And even if he did that how would be know to believe him?<br /><br />The only thing more tiring to listen to than a religious zelot badgering on about what ever they think is some supposed proponent of "reason" (aka Atheist) who badgers you endlessly about how can you be so stupid to believe in God. <br /><br />In any event I hope Stephen takes the time to thank the God he doesn't believe in for being being born when he was, were he was, so that he could have the oppertunity to accomplish all that he has.<br /><br />Remember we all get to find out the answer about God eventually.

There seems to be a debate about exactly how many but it has to be at least 400,000. Even if its only 250,000, that is STILL a lot of people. The various old tyme News outlets can ignore and ridicule all they want but it shows for what sort of numbers Beck and or Palin can muster. The Democrats should be very worried.<br /><br />Secondly, though I am unsure of the point of this whole thing, I dislike the religious overtones as I am dubious of ANY group of religious folk who'll take it upon themselves as a god given task to somehow try to convert me or impose their ideas of morality on me. You can be honorable and patriotic without bashing everyone over the head with your god stick.<br /><br />I did like the honoring of the military, which is needed especially now with a bunch of hippies running the White House. But to be honest I'm not 100 percent sure what the point of the whole thing was. <br /><br />I do think what the point SHOULD have been was liberty, freedom and free enterprise. These are the things which need to be rallied around and defended because they are the things under attack. <br /><br />However I do understand the Christians must be sick of being the one group singled out as the bad guys in every movie, forbidden to display anything concerning their holidays and so forth. The left jumps on the religious tolerance buggy when it suits them such as with the Ground Zero Mosque but otherwise they've done everything in their power to destroy the rights of Christians to do anything (including telling Beck he can't pray, which they quickly backed away from).<br /><br />Ultimately this will show, at least to each other, that those in the Tea Party movement are not a fringe group of a few. The media and Dems ignore this at their own risk.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-65420684405681281152010-08-28T03:42:00.000-07:002010-08-28T03:53:41.812-07:00President Urkel<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp70HMYCWrm5nNZwK57-KsbqWMa1m86c_QvX2OzhyphenhyphenK2sDdR9SuCOs2jRl4QZ7m9ICLF0-HcPD6hk31clbkNdePZjiDcs661iEC5i4dYhfPTFEGo0V5l4rqPMZS_czP-VpqxxDqzzk9Tai-/s1600/r1653491488.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 224px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp70HMYCWrm5nNZwK57-KsbqWMa1m86c_QvX2OzhyphenhyphenK2sDdR9SuCOs2jRl4QZ7m9ICLF0-HcPD6hk31clbkNdePZjiDcs661iEC5i4dYhfPTFEGo0V5l4rqPMZS_czP-VpqxxDqzzk9Tai-/s320/r1653491488.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5510409466381354498" /></a><br />While Putin is posing bare chested, wrestling with whales and bears, and firing all manner of weaponry in a pathetic attempt to appear taller and or more macho than he might actually be, what do we get out of the White House?

YES. Your home page. <br /><br />Facebook has taken things by storm partly due to it's friendliness to 3G gizmos that all the kids love to have. Yahoo is still trying to get people to go into their Netscape and set it to Yahoo. Because in the future having your homepage set there will mean you'll have quick access to what ever annoying redesign they come up with.<br /><br />Seriously when was the last time someone actually inquired as to what your home page was set at? 1996?

I must comment on how smug I feel at how right I was in my prediction that Obama would be the American version of Trudeau. And he is. <br /><br />And just as a note to all the commies. I don't hate Obama because he's "black" (please note that he's only 50% more black than any white guy you know), I hate Obama because he's a pompus full of shit, full of himself College commie type. Every time he opens his trap the piffle that comes out is horrifying. <br /><br />Obama sucks and the Dems will get their collect collectivist asses handed to them in November.<br /><br />Buy popcorn!20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-41066695593621712892010-04-08T23:33:00.000-07:002010-04-08T23:40:44.322-07:00Karzai Crazy?<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hvWEqwq3CrRvaQCmt21MfoYhjZJQD9ET37982">So Afghan President Karzai has threaten to quit and join the Taliban</a>. Big news. Big shock to the White House. Why is he acting so strange? Why would he do stuff to under mind NATO efforts and play right into the hands of the Taliban.<br /><br />It couldn't possibly be that the US has given a date for when its leaving. At date after which he'll be on his own, surrounded by war lords, Taliban and the business as usual Afghan way.<br /><br />I would assume that when NATO leaves they won't be taking him with them. So who can blame him. He's not in danger of being kicked out of office. He's in danger of being horribly maimed and killed.<br /><br />So why is anyone surprised at how he's acting?20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-1617703164953427842010-04-07T23:15:00.000-07:002010-04-08T23:31:30.538-07:00By using my AMAZING powers of prediction, which foretold of how Obama would completely screw up the USA in the same way Trudeau turned Canada into a pine cone republic, I have seen a vision of what is to come.<br /><br />Obama will be of course noted in history as the first black President, but he will also be noted as the President whose policies led to one of the most shocking turn around in US electoral history. I know that smarter folk than me have predicted the GOP taking back the house or what have you by using more scientific means but I am going to go out on a limb and just predict that not only will it be a victory for the Republicans it will be a massive victory. One so huge that neither the Republicans or the Democrats can possibly imagine.<br /><br />How is this possible?<br /><br />How is it IMPOSSIBLE? <br /><br />Every single thing Obama and his crew do, say or attempt seems to piss off the general populace even more. Each intrusion, and make no mistake people see these endless nanny state things exactly as what they are, drives more people into the arms of the Tea Party. <br /><br />Sucking up to the bad guys while insulting Allies is also a factor no one is paying attention. If Tom Hanks retarded remarks about fighting the Japanese could basically KILL a big HBO series that was expected to do as well as Band of Brothers that would suggest that people do pay attention. I think that Americans have noticed how the White House is acting to Israel, Britain, etc and they are not impressed.<br /><br />Obama has basically blown it and it may take some time to recover. Now if only the GOP can learn the lesson that the people don't want big government.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8452913497649495075.post-24340410194005369692010-04-06T22:54:00.000-07:002010-04-06T23:03:03.478-07:00Ukraine Gives Up on NATOTHIS is what happens when you have a President and Congress who are completely out to lunch regarding who's a friend and who's a foe.

Now the notoriously austere commander of US and Nato forces has a new target in his war on terror: ice cream and fast food.<br /><br />General Stanley McChrystal, the former commander of Special Forces in Iraq, who runs eight miles a day, eats one meal and sleeps for only four hours a night, has given orders to close the junk food concessions on Nato bases. </span><br /><br />Will this affect the Tim Hortons outlets that serve the Canadian Troops? <br /><br />I would hope not. Tim Hortons has proven to be a great supporter of the Canadian efforts in the region. It would be a shame to have that taken just because some American General thinks junk food is bad.20 Alpha 4http://www.blogger.com/profile/09280634230670257770noreply@blogger.com0
