Slavery-It's No Game

Over on Belchspeak I found out about a supposed new game. It's called Slavery-The Game



Most people tend to think its a fake, but the video posted under the name of JavelinReds has already gone viral. Naturally, it is controversial. But this is certainly understandable. The institution of slavery itself is no joke.

American slavery might well be, sadly, the most successful enterprise ever undertaken by the Democratic Party. And it is ongoing to this day. Democrats continued the institution by way of Jim Crow laws in the American South, well past the time it was legally abolished. The Democrats used segregation and other brutal tactics-for example, their terrorist, militant wing known as the Ku Klux Klan-to keep African Americans under subjugation for close to a century after the Civil War. When that sorry episode ran its course, they hijacked the nascent Civil Rights Movement, whereupon the little sharecroppers shacks were replaced by subsidized housing, welfare, food stamps, gun control laws, street gangs, and hard drugs. Oh, and of course, the promise of single parent families as ever increasing numbers of black males were shuffled off to prison. And then of course, abortion, which serves to keep the numbers of African Americans low, and manageable.

Today we see the long-term results of the Great Society. And under Barak Hussein Obama, the first bi-racial President that we know of, the black unemployment rate is double the national average. On the other hand, that is no surprise. While touted as the first African American President, Barak Obama is not truly African American by descent. He is half white, and half black of African immigrant descent, so in a way yes technically he is an "African American". But in reality, he is descended from a man whose white mother's ancestors owned slaves, and from a man who's Kenyan ancestors very possibly sold them. His only other connections to the hardships of being a black American is tenuous at best. He supposedly was passed up by a taxi cab on a number of occasions, and assumed without proof it was because he was black. He also had a white girlfriend, and she broke up with him for unspecified reasons.

Otherwise, his life is in no way typical of the black experience. How could it be? Obama is, it can't be stated too often, not descended from any past slave in America. On top of that, he was given every opportunity to advance and excel, and there is more than a little reason to believe that he was cut a lot of slack in regards to his scholastic performance. Of course, he had many backers among the university intelligentsia, just another episode in a long line of Marxist mentors.

And now he is President of the United States, and having had no experience of ever really facing any kind of credible, substantial opposition, without ever having been thoroughly vetted, after years of being propped up, idolized, and propagandized by the political and social elites and the media, the little straw boss that is Barak Hussein Obama is unable to cope with true criticism, opposition, and defeat.

But its more than his lack of experience at these matters which is the problem here. The real problem is, Barak Hussein Obama is not his own man. He is not the master of his ship. He is still down in the lower deck of the slave ship, bound by invisible chains. Those chains are not physical bonds, of course, they are mental and emotional ones imposed throughout his lifetime by the leftist hacks who have used him like a trained seal.

Its sad that the first "African-American" President had to be a Democrat. It was an iron-clad guarantee that he would be, and in fact is, no more than a highly polished and refined House Negro at best, and at worse, the Democratic Party's White House Lawn Jockey.

Slavery-The Game might well be a fake. But Slavery-The Institution is still alive and well.

If A Bear Shits In The Woods-Hell You Might Know The Guy


When the US Fish and Wildlife Service isn't busy protecting foreign jobs at the expense of non-unionized American jobs, they can be found in almost any part of the country, doing due diligence to protect hapless wild animals from the malicious encroachment into their territories by predatory human beings.

Sometimes, unfortunately, since they can't be everywhere at once (for now), bad things happen. And when it does, it falls on their shoulders to try to make matters right in the pursuit of justice for our furry cousins.

Take the recent case in Idaho, where a man saw a female grizzly and two of her cubs on his property. Fearing for the safety of his children, and his livestock, the man killed the bear (it is also being reported by some that he also killed the cubs), at which point he immediately called Fish And Wildlife-who promptly arrested him and are in the process of potentially preparing charges against him.

His neighbors in Boundary County have been overwhelmingly supportive of the man, helping to raise money for his defense. So heavily attended was his arraignment in Couer D'Elene they had to move the hearing to a larger courtroom. If convicted, he could spend a year in prison and have to pay as much as a fifty thousand dollar fine.

All because he didn't want his children to end up like the following two hikers. Understandable. Imagine the image of this happening to one of your children in front of your eyes, seared into your brain.


Or hey, how's about this?


Now suppose this happens to you and you lose a loved one to a bear in this manner. How are you going to vote in the next election, Democrat or Republican? Yes, it is a political issue, and will remain so for as long as the Democrat Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the radical environmental movement. I've posted previously on how this crew has run roughshod over Kentucky law, making it illegal to hunt bear only outside of one day out of the year (a time of year when you're highly unlikely to find any bears, seeing as how they hibernate during the winter), and further limiting the type of weapon that can be used. You know, just to make it fair to the bear. And make no mistake, you can't kill a bear in Kentucky either, even if it gets on your property. Hell, even if it tries to break into your house. That wouldn't be fair either, I guess.

If you ended up like this victim of an Alaskan polar bear, would you think it was fair?


Poor guy, I guess he shouldn't have run. He should have played dead. Or no, that's for grizzlies. For black bears you shout and make noise. For polar bears, I don't know, but I do know you don't run, any bear will outrun you. Carry bear pepper spray if out camping or hiking. That should really piss them off. If you're in your house, well, don't set out the trash. Just keep it piled up inside until garbage day. Above all, don't panic. After all, when a raging, hungry, or overprotective animal weighing anywhere from 400 to 800 pounds or more comes charging at you with the speed of a locomotive,roaring and snarling as he prepares to eat you alive, you have to stay calm.

And remember, like all other vicious wild animals, the Democrats need bears. Not just because of the money they rake in from the environmental movement, which is almost unarguably the main reason. They also need them to thin out the population of deers, elk, moose, etc., that so many red state folks like to cravenly hunt for food and sport. Otherwise, this hunting thing might catch on with more and more people who would willingly take up the slack caused by a diminishing of the bear population. To say nothing of the fact that a dearth of bears, wolves, cougars, etc., might result in cheaper meat due to relief from the burden and expense of having to protect livestock from predators, as well as the expense of when they fall prey to the beasts.

But more importantly perhaps, it will serve to keep humans out of those areas that need to remain pristine, untouched by human hands, except of course those tree-hugger freaks that know how to do it right.

And the fact that much of this would kill the tourism industry, to places like Yellowstone? Reduction in tourism dollars to red states is gravy to a Democrat. If the bears don't get you, a Democrat will. Luckily, there were enough witnesses to the Yellowstone mauling, in addition to surviving victims, to convince Fish And Wildlife to hunt and trap the offending bear, a mother who was teaching her cubs to hunt humans. See, Fish And Wildlife are looking out for our constitutional rights. They understand that a bear has no more right to hunt humans than a human has a right to hunt bear. On the other hand, if she had just mauled the guy to death without witnesses, they would have assumed she was just acting out of concern for her cubs and left her, and them, alone. Another lesson to take from all this. Don't go hiking alone. If it comes down to your word against the bears, the bears will get the benefit of the doubt every time.

So get with the program, and remember, if you ever come face to face with a bear-be calm, relaxed, don't run, and if he attacks, just go limp. If you have a gun, don't shoot. Remember, firearms are illegal in federal areas. Try to talk with Mr. Bear. Maybe if you sing to him? If he ends up picking you up in those big powerful jaws, just hang in there. He might just be trying to play with you, or give you a stern warning. Hopefully you won't end up like this idiot.

But if you do, console yourself with the fact that we are all just another part of the food chain. Try not to concentrate on the fact that the last evidence of your existence on earth might well be in the form of bear shit. And if it happens to your children, your wife, girlfriend, parents-what of it? After all, what are they? In reality, we are all just atoms, molecules, dust in the wind.

Besides, we can always pray for the day we will be reunited with our loved ones in a better, brighter, happier world.

As long as you don't do it in public, that is.

Obama's Bullshit Bingo

Debbie at Right Truth presents this far safer alternative to the old standby, the drinking game. Cos let's face it, taking a shot of Jack for every line of bullshit Obama spews out of his mouth tonight could probably leave you dead from alcohol poisoning.


(Click to enlarge)

UPDATE-Zilla, she of The Resistance, has informed me that the "lecture" by our gasbag President will actually be tomorrow night, which means I'll probably be watching the far less predictable (and definitely less boring) NFL opener.

Damn, now come to find out the speech isn't tonight, it's next Thursday night, September 8th. The GOP debate is Wednesday night, September 7th. Now hopefully this will be the last correction.

Your Government In All Its Tyrannical Glory

UPDATE-Gibson says this brilliant move by our wonderful agents of the Fish And Wildlife Service will likely cost their company an estimated two or three million dollars. The company should know, as this is not the first time they've bee raided. The last time was over wood from Madagascar. Evidently, as pointed out to me by my favorite Wonder Woman at Right Truth, its not the wood they're protecting, its international labor laws, in these cases of India and Madagascar.

Still, something else has come to light. While Gibson is being harassed, Martin Guitars, which uses the same kind of woods from the same regions, gets a pass. I guess it helps if your company executives are big Democrat contributors, and it sure as hell don't hurt that Martin is a union shop. Guess who is not a union shop. That would be Gibson.

(End of Update)

Here they fucking go, brave and tireless agents of-The Fish And Wildlife Service. Note that those aren't rods and reel they're checking up on. It's guitars at a Gibson guitar factory. What's going on here?


According to the Wall Street Journal, they are checking to make sure none of the guitar parts are made out of protected wood from species of trees deemed to be endangered. Don't worry, it gets worse. Much worse.

According to Right Truth, you might lose your guitar even if you purchased it decades ago, or even if its a family heirloom from generations past. That's why you should make sure you have the proper paperwork that would prove that every single part-not just the guitar itself, but every single part-was made before the law went into effect.

John Thomas, a law professor at Quinnipiac University and a blues and ragtime guitarist, says "there's a lot of anxiety, and it's well justified." Once upon a time, he would have taken one of his vintage guitars on his travels. Now, "I don't go out of the country with a wooden guitar." [snip]

It's not enough to know that the body of your old guitar is made of spruce and maple: What's the bridge made of? If it's ebony, do you have the paperwork to show when and where that wood was harvested and when and where it was made into a bridge? Is the nut holding the strings at the guitar's headstock bone, or could it be ivory? "Even if you have no knowledge—despite Herculean efforts to obtain it—that some piece of your guitar, no matter how small, was obtained illegally, you lose your guitar forever," Prof. Thomas has written. "Oh, and you'll be fined $250 for that false (or missing) information in your Lacey Act Import Declaration."


A commenter at Right Truth pointed out that Gibson is not a unionized company, therefore this might at least in part be an effort of the Obama Administration to come down on behalf of its union lackeys.

But perhaps an even more pertinent point might be-I thought we were operating under a deficit. Is this kind of shit the reason the nation was held hostage by Democrats during the budget negotiations? So asshole cunts like this would have the money to operate at a further detriment to American business, and the overall economy?

Throw all these cocksuckers in chains as far as I'm concerned. Tarring and feathering just wouldn't be good enough for these fucking jackals all the way up and down the food chain, including Obama and the Congressional Democrats.

I Devil He's Devil Hey

It seems like I posted this before, but I'm not sure. Even if I did, its so damn cool its worth a repeat anyway. Here we have two videos of the same song, by the same group. But oh, how very different they are. For the first one, let's harken back to an earlier time. A time of joy and innocence. Or was it so innocent? Listen carefully to the lyrics and music of the Beatles Obladi Oblada, from The Beatles (White Album).



Yep, good wholesome innocent fun. Until you listen to the song in REVERSE that is. It's not until then that you realize the nonsensical phrase "Obladi" is actually an anagram for-DIABLO. In other words, the Devil.

So what all will we hear in this wholesome, innocent song played in reverse?



Well, so there you have it. Whether this is an intentional case of backward masking, or a matter of subconsciously induced reversed speech in the person of Paul MacCartney (the lead singer and composer of the tune)some of the lyrics heard seem to clearly match the words displayed on the screen. A few parts aren't as clear and might be open to other interpretations.

One thing though is very clear. This might be the first and only case where a song played in reverse is actually better than when played as originally intended. I think its hilarious, actually.

A Crazy Democrat, Socialist Bitch Shows Her True Colors

UPDATE-When I first saw this video, I didn't realize at first it was from 2009, so its not exactly what you would call "recent". But it still serves nicely as a reference point to help put Maxine Waters and her antics in perspective.

I don't even know where to begin with this cunt. She's had one hell of a last couple of weeks or so, that's for sure. During a recent appearance before her constituents she asked them to unleash us on Obama, referring to members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other black elected leaders. She is evidently frustrated that Obama's policies seem to be hurting black communities and suggests this is because he hasn't been progressive enough. Not too long after this, she went on an anti-Tea Party rant, saying that as far as she's concerned the Tea Party can go to hell. She followed this up with a promise that she would help send them there, a remark which if uttered in a similar fashion by a conservative against a Democrat would have been taken as a death threat.

She has also taken umbrage at Florida Republican Representative Allen West for his recent remarks in which he referred to the Democratic Party's hold over black voters as akin to a plantation, inferring that Waters and other members of the CBC acted as what amounted to straw bosses. Which is, in fact, what they are.

And now this. The bitch actually had the temerity to announce on the floor of the House that if the oil companies couldn't or wouldn't keep prices down, she as a liberal would be pushing for the government to take over the oil companies and "run things". Unbelievable, but here it is.



My only question is, why hasn't this ugly fucking piece of shit been arrested? She should have been dragged out of the House Chambers then and there. At the very least she should be censured, but let's face it, that's not going to happen. Its just as well, as that would amount to a slap on the wrist compared to what this whore should face, which is a charge of treason. She and a hell of a lot of others, including that fucking tool Obama, should be hanging in the breeze over our nation's capitol as I type these words.

Jihadist Threatens Letterman-"Cut The Tongue Of This Lowly Jew"

David Letterman is learning the hard way that making jokes about a fourteen year old politician's daughter being raped by a baseball player in public is one thing. Making fun of Islamic terrorists-well that's quite a different matter. For making jokes about Bin Laden, and the recent death by drone strike of one of his top lieutenants, Letterman was subjected to the following screed on a jihadist website-

“Is there not amongst you a Sayyid Nosair al-Masri (may Allah release him) to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever. Just as Sayyid (may Allah release him) did with the Jew Kahane [referring to Masri, who was convicted of the 1990 killing of Meir Kahane, the founder of the Jewish Defense League]

We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck. O Allah, amen.”


The punchline-Letterman is a Presbyterian. But hey, that fact shouldn't prevent a good old fashioned Muslim fundamentalist from doubling down with a healthy dose of anti-Semitism.

Of course, this will be a hiccup in the grand scheme of things. The Left will continue with their insistence that all of us exercise tolerance towards a group that wants to kill us just for not being them. But if a Christian or a conservative had reacted to Letterman's sexually explicit joke about Willow Palin by saying something like "somebody ought to castrate that leftist piece of shit", hell would have been raised for weeks and the person who made the remark might have even faced a fine, and possibly jail time. On top of that, every person who was a part of that person's peer group would have been deemed a potential right-wing extremist and a national security threat.

So actually, not only do I NOT give a shit about Letterman's predicament, I also don't give a fucking rats ass if somebody actually follows through on it. I'm not a famous person, and if some Muslim piece of shit killed me, or any of you, do you think Letterman would give a fucking shit? Hell no, and neither would anyone else in the fucking leftist progressive "mainstream" media. I would be damn lucky if they even reported my murder in passing. So fuck all of them. It's about time some of them slept in the bed they're trying to make for all of us.

Just for grins, here's a Top Ten List of some of the fine folks who have experienced the consequences of insulting the Religion Of Peace Submission.

Union Thugs Try To Murder Toledo Businessman


The man's name is John King, and he was recently shot in the arm by a man he caught vandalizing his car. This was not the first time that King, who owns an electrician business which is a non-union shop, has been targeted by the electrician's union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Which, judging by their name, is probably a bunch of communist cocksuckers.

Courtesy of Labor Union Reports-

Unfortunately, being a non-union electrical company, King has always been on the radar of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). In fact, in 2006, he won a significant case against the IBEW at the US Court of Appeals, after the union had improperly promised his electricians jobs on union sites if they voted the union into King’s company.

Since he’s been in business, in addition to the legal battles and verbal abuse, King’s company has been vandalized and threatened on numerous occasions.


“Back then, it was nothing to have to regularly buy a new set of tires.” King said during a telephone interview on Tuesday. “The ice pick was the weapon of choice.”

Until Wednesday, the worst of the union attacks on King and his business came in the mid-eighties during the UAW strike at AP Parts. During a lull during the lengthy strike, King’s business was picketed by more than 50 IBEW picketers. This was at a time when he only had eight or nine employees. One of his employees, whose car was trashed by the union picketers, was also beaten up by IBEW thugs.


Note one very important point. If the IBEW had not attempted to bribe King's employees, they would have been well within their rights, legally speaking, to force their union on King's business, and he would have been legally obligated to have to go through them in dealing with his employees.

And people wonder why all the jobs are leaving America. In between the taxes, regulations, and the unions, one has to wonder why there are any jobs remaining here. It takes a real masochist to start a business in the US. I wouldn't put up with it if I had ten billion dollars. I'd keep it all locked away and drawing interest. Shoot that, motherfuckers.

It's high time the unions were busted up, and their leaders jailed, tried, and imprisoned on Rico charges, along with their Democratic Party ass-lickers.

Or, failing that-be prepared. This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it damn sure won't be the last time. Nor is it necessarily a requirement that you be a boss, or a non-union worker to earn their ire. All you have to do is show up on the roles in some vicinities as a registered Republican. Especially if you support a politician known for his or her staunch anti-union views and record. Don't be shy about it. Advertise it liberally. We all believe in transparency, right?

That makes it that much more likely one of these worthless bastards will accost you on the street, or possibly try to force their way into your home. A good silent alarm is all you need, and of course one other thing.

Just remember-aim for the head.

Redneck And Proud Of It

Ryan, Dylan, and Lee Grace Dougherty, known through the media as The Dougherty Gang, were captured in Colorado after a high speed chase that ended with the Dougherty's crashing their vehicle. Lee Grace is reported to have exited the vehicle and fired on the officers, who returned fire, wounding the 29 year old former stripper in the leg. One of her brothers was quickly apprehended, the other one being captured after a brief chase on foot.

And here all this time I thought they might have been on their way to Kentucky. I had been on the lookout for them. You know, I wanted to do my "civic duty" and all. With this in mind, I have spent hours carefully "studying" Lee Grace's photo stream on Flickr, which includes the following photo, among many others.


The problem started when one of the brothers, Ryan, was put on ten years probation for sexual battery of an eleven year old girl, whom he was charged with sending explicit text messages. He had a previous criminal record for burglary, and other charges. Lee Grace herself had a long record, mainly for assault, including once of a police officer. The other brother, Dylan, didn't have much of a record, just one charge for possession of marijuana. It was Ryan's problems that set the group off. They loaded up their weapons and headed to the hills of Colorado. In between, they robbed a bank and engaged in a chase and shoot out with police which took them from Georgia to Tennessee, where the trio of siblings eluded their pursuers. Their mother made an impassioned plea for them to turn themselves in, but it wasn't until they were spotted purchasing outdoors equipment at a sporting goods store in Colorado that the law had any idea where they were. It had previously been presumed they were hiding out in Tennessee.

Now they're gone to prison, for a long, long time, this trio of hellcat rednecks who were determined to live free or die if necessary.

Film at eleven. And another doubtless soon to come to a theater near you.

Getting To Know Herman Cain

UPDATE-I wanted to include this video Stacy McCain (The Other McCain) recorded and uploaded, of a Herman Cain appearance in Denison Iowa. In it, Cain reacts to Obama's lame attempt earlier today (in conjunction with his Press Secretary, David Axelrod, John Kerry, and other Democrats) to blame the Tea Party for the US credit downgrade by Standard & Poor's.

Be sure and watch the video and see Herman explain exactly why Obama and the Democrats excuses just ain't gonna fly.



(End Of Update)

The Other McCain, a long-time supporter of Herman Cain, turns us on to this video from the Herman Cain campaign, one of the best one minute ads you'll see anywhere.



Unfortunately, Cain did a flip-flop on his previous comments about appointing a Muslim to the White House, during a recent meeting with Muslim leaders. This might have been due to bad advice. A good rule of thumb when you hire professional political consultants is to ask them their advice on everything under the sun, and take copious notes. That way, you'll know what not to do.

Having said that, there is always a chance that his meeting and subsequent statement might have been a way of keeping this issue from being a distraction, a means for the liberal mainstream media to detract from his campaign. If so, while understandable I would have used a different approach.

In the meantime, one can still take comfort in the fact that Cain has arguably the strongest conservative stance on national security, and on immigration, of any of the current candidates.

Michelle Bachmann On Our Credit Downgrade

Michelle Bachmann brings it home, just how serious the downgrade of the USA's credit rating really is, the first time its happened since we achieved our AAA rating in 1917. Barak Obama refused to reign in his spending plans, refused to accede to the four trillion dollars in cuts the S&P warned him he would have to do to maintain our credit rating. It's not like he was blindsided. He had fair warning, well in advance. It was the Tea Party who tried, desperately, to get him to agree to the S&P request.

Now thanks to the stubbornness and arrogance of Obama and the Democrats in Congress, they have accomplished what even the Great Depression could not. They have said, in effect, fuck our credit rating, fuck our economy, and fuck the American people. After all, how could they ever manage to pay off their union lackeys and other special interest thieves by actually governing in a responsible manner?

I disagree with Bachmann on one small detail in the following video. Asking Timothy Geitner to resign would do little to reassure the markets as long as the clueless idiot who now occupies the oval office maintains that position.

Our Credit Now Officially Sucks

Shouldn't Democrats be embarrassed at the fact that Standard and Poors has downgraded our bond rating from AAA to AA+? After all, they did so due to Democrats stubborn refusal to cut four trillion dollars from the debt, as they clearly warned them they should.

Now President Barak Obama, on bringing the country to the brink of default on its obligations, has further increased our debt, and due to his policies, his recklessness and stubbornness, has caused at least one credit agency to lower our bond rating because, well, thanks to the first African American President, our credit is no longer considered worthy of AAA status.

You can't make this shit up. Nor can you talk about it in polite circles. But I was never known to be polite. I just make this point in the way of making a prediction.

Obama has over the last few days been laying the groundwork toward blaming everybody but himself for this. He is blaming the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, economic uncertainty in Europe, hell if he thought it would fly he'd blame Charlie Sheen.

But of course it wouldn't fly, and neither will his finger-pointing at any of his other targets, including previous President George W. Bush. So you know what will happen next, right? When nothing else works, fall back on that old standard cliche' that has gotten tried and true results since the nineteen sixties, whether it was a valid charge or not.

Standard And Poor's has downgraded our bonds during the tenure of the first black President of the United States of America, who also happens to be, in practice at least, the most liberal President in the history of the country. There can be only one explanation, and I guarantee you will hear it before long. Wait for it-

STANDARD AND POOR'S IS A RAAAAACIST COMPANY!!

Cold Cuts

Cuts to the FDA and USDA, which have been far too long coming, are now being blamed for a recent outbreak of Salmonella in processed food. Specifically lambasting the GOP Congress is Rep. Rose DeLauro of Connecticut, who contends the GOP driven budget cuts will put the nations food safety at risk. The offender in the latest incident is Cargill who produces the ground turkey meat that turned out to be the source of the problem, prompting one of the biggest recalls in the history of processed food. Several people were sickened, and one person died.

DeLauro, the senior Democrat on the Appropriations Committee Health sub-panel, charges that cuts to the Departments were the reasons it took so long to track the source of the outbreak.

A number of points, aside from the fact that the FDA doesn't regulate meat or poultry to begin with. One, no laws have been changed. You still can not legally cut corners and endanger the public health in the pursuit of profit. Two, its not like there was never any outbreaks before the recent budget cuts. There have been several, and it took some time to trace them back to their origins. One fairly recent case that occurred before any cuts went on for weeks. In one or two cases, the origin was never completely verified. There have been problems with tomatoes, with lettuce, with green onions. The latter case almost caused the Mexican restaurant Chi-Chi's to go out of business. That was the problem that was never fully resolved. The problem with the lettuce was blamed, perhaps unfairly, on immigrant labor from Mexico. It too was never fully resolved. But it went away. These things come and go.

And let's face it, the vast majority of cases can probably be traced back to unsanitary conditions in the private home where the cooking occurred, or perhaps the food wasn't cooked thoroughly enough. So what are we going to do about that? Hire a staff of FDA agents in every community to make spot checks of homes in certain neighborhoods to make sure sanitary conditions are being adhered to? Put enough Democrats back in office and that is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Bottom line-we can't afford the shit anymore. Not only do we not have the money, we can't afford to fund the adversarial relationship of big government to business. It causes businesses to not be able to expand or be competitive with larger rivals, for one thing. For another thing, it reduces the prospect of hiring new employees, and even increases the likelihood of further layoffs. Which of course means it becomes even harder to maintain proper conditions. It has caused some businesses to even fold, go out of business, go bankrupt. And, in every case, it causes the cost of these intrusive, combative regulations to be passed on to we, the consumers of America. We pay for it twice. We pay for it out of our taxes. Then we pay for it a second time at the counter.

And for what? One purpose it serves is to create more government workers to pay dues into the coffers of government employees unions, much of which is, of course, funneled back to the coffers of various Democrat politicians like Rose DeLauro.

Another thing it does is actually create a climate more conducive to Big Business than to small and mid-sized business. It is rare when a food giant like Cargill is cited for these kinds of instances. It is usually small operations such as Estrella Family Creamery which bear the brunt of burdensome regulations. Cargill can survive and adapt. If it has to pay a substantial fine, that's a minor annoyance. Smaller businesses have to struggle to survive. And that's just the point.

Democrat politicians, and for that matter many Republicans, hate small business. After all, at their competitive best they are harmful to the profit margins of the big companies that Democrats especially depend on to fill their tax quotas, or to provide make work for their constituents, or their favored unions.

But most importantly, it is small business and their advocates in Congress and the states that hinder their efforts at establishing a regulatory, tax-and-spend regime aimed at putting us all under the thumb of government. A totalitarian government based not on the rule of law, but the law of rules.

This Day In History

Thanks to Always On Watch for the cool graphic commemorating Obama's birthday and for pointing out it happens to fall on the same day-August 4th-that Lizzie Borden allegedly murdered her parents with an ax.

Of course, there is at least a chance Lizzie was innocent of the crime.

Palin Fires A Salvo At The Romneylan

Score one for the Federalist Nation. Mitt kept his cloaking device operational, waiting until the eleventh hour before announcing his opposition to the bi-partisan budget debt ceiling agreement, his finger still wet from the spit and cold from the crisp northern air. See, this is what Democrats typically do. During the primaries they play to their base, and then in the general election they try to pivot towards the center, staying just far enough to the left to legitimately claim they are a "new kind of Democrat". Republicans are no different, only they usually make their way leftward to the center right.

Palin denounced this tactic last night on Hannity, while simultaneously applauding Michelle Bachmann's determined and principled stand against the agreement.

So is she finally ready to make her announcement? Is she running? She wouldn't go any further than to say she was seriously mulling it over. Its worth noting though that Sean Hannity all but declared his belief that she was going to run, to which she responded with-a smile, nothing more.

If its going to happen, it will probably be around Labor Day when she declares, which is the traditional day for such announcements. It's starting to look like good strategy, if true.

Those Peaceful, Fun-Loving Norwegian Laborites And Their Innocent Summer Camps

You already know this isn't going to be good, right? Well come to find out that "Summer Camp" in Norway wasn't so pure and innocent after all. It was a pro-Palestinian propaganda camp that spewed anti-Israeli rhetoric on a daily basis. But it was more even than that. They were teaching these "kids" how to advocate on behalf of the Palestinian cause. For example, they supported the recent flotilla efforts to breach the Israeli blockade of ships. They taught that the Palestinians should have the "right of return" to Israel and that the wall should be torn down.

Bear in mind, this wasn't some NGO acting as a private non-profit agency. This was an entity that was sponsored by the Norwegian Labour Party, which come to find out is the ruling party of what is possibly the most anti-Semitic government in Europe. And that is fucking saying something.

But then again, pictures speak louder than words.


The jackass standing in the foreground of the picture is Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store. I don't know when this picture was taken, whether on the day of the "tragedy" or some other day, so I am unfortunately unable to report whether this jackass got his just desserts. But on the day that he was there he made the following statement in an address to all these joyous, rosy cheeked children-

The Palestinians “must have their own state, the occupation must end, the wall must be demolished and it must happen now"

Oh but it wasn't all study and work. What fun would that be? There were also games for the children. For example-


This little innocent children's game is called "Break The Israeli Blockade". My look how much fun these charming little horrors are having.

Do I seem harsh, even more so than usual? Too bad. The Labour Party in response to the murders, while understandably commenting that Brevik's rampage was unjustified, made the statement that the Palestinian's constant attacks against Israelis was justified due to Israeli policies-

"Ma’ariv asked Sevje whether in the wake of Breivik’s terrorist attack Norwegians would be more sympathetic to the victimization of innocent Israelis by Palestinian terrorists.

Sevje said no, and explained, “We Norwegians view the occupation as the reason for terror against Israel. Many Norwegians still see the occupation as the reason for attacks against Israel. Whoever thinks this way, will not change his mind as a result of the attack in Oslo."

The author of the article notes:

"So in the mind of the illiberal Norwegians [the Labour Party], terrorism is justified if the ideology behind it is considered justified.


And, by the way, some in the labour Party have even questioned whether Brevik was acting on behalf of Mossad.

So no, I'm not being harsh. For one thing, this is a widespread problem in Norway, and in other European countries, and it is probably going to be an ever growing problem here in the states. Only the immigrant of choice here is probably going to be Somalis, already a growing population. The UN recently issued a statement to the effect that fundamentalist Islam is responsible for the country's problems. That the UN would issue such an uncharacteristic statement is bizarre on the face of it, and its probably code for a request for the industrialized nations, including the US, to take in Somali refugees. If so, that is going to be a big problem.

As for Brevik, he was not the disease. He was just a symptom, a reaction to a growing cancer that is killing his country, and will eat away at the vitality of any nation in which it spreads. Including our own.
