Want a Plate of This?

Well, I am not the King of England, nor the King of Texas.
So my prediction of a Muslim being behind the next terrorist attack must have some correlation with something else besides my magical ability to predict the future.


Either way in Texas you will soon be able to get a new license plate...of the Gadsden Flag.

I would like to think it is in honor of the brilliant writing that I post here, but I think it may have more to do with the idea that people don't like a big government telling them to purchase insurance or face a fine and other recent ideas presented by the congressional swine that feed at the government trough.

Maybe we should feed them a plate of this?

Don't Hold Your Breath.

Okay, so we are not at war with Islam. There I said it, now I am politically correct.

The only thing I don't understand is that last month I predicted to my friends that the next terror attempt or attack directed towards the United States or her citizens will be from someone who is Muslim. Lo and behold, Somali teenager tries to blow up a holiday family party.

What I don't understand is I keep predicting the lottery numbers being 1,2,3,4,5 and it never happens.

So, either I am not magically able to predict the future or we are at war with Islam.

Let's check and see...

Tomorrow I will be crowned the king of England.

I am Sure They Will Leave an I.O.U.

In Ireland the government is going to be taking over the banking system in order to rescue a crippled economy…

Does anyone really think a politician having their hands in the cookie jar is a good idea?

We know what they do when they find out they can rob the Social Security accounts to pay for their pet projects, what is going to happen when they find out they can rob from your account?

Think about it.

Latest security threat, The Printed Word.

A headline today is “Homeland Security is banning toner and ink cartridges from U.S. bound passenger aircraft.”

As a former juvenile delinquent I have to question what sort of idiot is in charge at the Department of Homeland Security. Seriously, they banned water bottles because of liquid explosives now they are banning toner cartridges because of solid/power explosives.

Shouldn’t they be working to solve the actual problem that is the root cause?

What are they going to do, ban the next medium that Al Qaeda decides to use? A common terror tactic is belt bombs, are they going to ban belts?

What about vest bombs? Although the sweater vest should be banned for multiple reasons, I don’t think this would be a rational conclusion.

Radical Islamic Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki said all Americans are the enemy, clerics don't need to issue any special fatwas or religious rulings allowing them to be killed.

I think a good solution should be courts that address cases like this. People who actively persuade individuals to kill others should be tried absentee; however, they can show up to defend themselves in a fair trial. Any person advocating the death of innocent people should also be eligible for the death penalty.

Our problem isn’t the toner cartridges, it isn’t devout nut-job followers, it isn’t even sweater vests; it is the radicals that encourage the terrorist killings. Islamic or otherwise, as long as we allow them to plan, execute and then plan more attacks, we are at risk.

It is as if we are trying to win a football game by having the entire team follow the ball around rather than stopping the play before it gets started. We need to get the quarterback.

We aren’t fighting a war against printers, we are fighting against homicidal maniacs. Maybe I should print off this letter and send it to Homeland Security…

No, they wouldn’t get it…

on so many levels.

Founding Fathers Friday

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
~ Thomas Jefferson (Declaration of Independence)

I thought this quote was very fitting for this week.

Did You Vote?

Okay, let's see a show of hands.
Who Voted and who sat this one out?
If you voted:
Great you can hope your taxes will go down and your representative in Congress will listen to you. Or you can show them the door in the next election.

If you didn't vote.
Shut your mouth and don't complain. The price to complain was voting, if you didn't pay, you lost your turn to talk until next time.

Speech is free, but you still have to pay for it.

On another topic, I have heard Obama say that if you want to drive the car you should select "D"
Although, I think he misses the point.

You see he is not driving, we are, and when we vote we are selecting the destination.

R takes us down the Roadway
D takes us in the Ditch

Memory Loss?

President Obama said said if Republicans seize power in Congress, "they will want to dictate the terms"



Funny, I wonder if he recalls his words on January 29th, 2009

President Obama listened to Republican gripes about his stimulus package during a meeting with congressional leaders Friday morning - but he also left no doubt about who's in charge of these negotiations. "I won,"Obama noted matter-of-factly, according to sources familiar with the conversation."

Quoted From Politico.com

Obama blamed much of his trouble on President Bush, he was an ungracious winner, and now he sounds like he will be a poor sport. If this guy worked with me and had these qualities, I wouldn't want to work with him.

I encourage you to vote today.

The Best Exercise, Your Rights!

I met an ignorant person the other day, at a rainy outdoor Halloween party for children. He looked at my National Rifle Association (NRA) Life Member hat and said that my “Costume” was pretty scary. He seemed a little shocked when my response was that it wasn’t a costume, it was my hat.

I walk through the stores in Seattle, a predominantly liberal city, and on the rare occasions that I wear my NRA hat I get some unusual reactions.

I see women take a second look and with a wild look in their eyes hoping for some escape route. I observe the turned up nose of men who look as though they have just seen a dead rat suddenly appear on their dinner plate.

Maybe one day I will mount the courage to ask them what the problem seems to be. Do they have a problem with someone who supports and defends the Constitution?

I am sure that they will say something to the effect that NRA supporters and gun owners are the reason that people get killed in gang violence; although, funny enough, I have never seen a gang-banger at the range or with an NRA hat.

I wonder if the people I see in the store are afraid of people with ACLU shirts yelling “fire” in a crowded theater.

It takes no courage to support gun bans, it takes courage to stand up and say “I will defend myself from those who seek to do me harm! I will exercise my Second Amendment rights.”

Go Out and Exercise.
