Our President Dearest, the one who now has our kiddies in school singing of him “and all are equal in his sight”, yes, just like the Sunday School hymn to Jesus, and has tried hard and often to scare us into buying his Bailout and Health plans, must be starting to get a little nervous.

The million-plus march in Washington D.C. that got almost no coverage, (compared to the massive coverage of Jesse Jacksons so-called “million man march” of blacks that got maybe 10,000 people), the Tea Parties and all the heavily attended and often raucaus Town Hall meetings that are still going on, have to have gotten his attention.

The latest indication of that is a Secret Service investigation of what they’re calling a threat to the president. This supposed threat is a poll posted on Facebook last Saturday with the question “”Should Obama be killed?” The four possible answers: Yes; Maybe; If he cuts my healthcare; and No. It’s since been taken down.

While the poll is defintely on the edge, it still doesn’t go over it. It’s against the law to threaten the president, but this is no more a threat than a poll asking if he should be subjected to the sound of a thousand screaming nuns. For one, only the people who answered “yes” to this could be considered to be making a threat. The person asking the question can’t. For two, everyone involved, the one who posted this and those who responded, are all anonymous. So where is the actual threat? A lot of people in this country and abroad would be very happy to see Obama out of the picture by any means, just as a lot would give their lives to protect him. That doesn’t make anyone a threat for giving their opinion in an anonymous poll.

Laws that prohibit Freedom of Speech go too far. I’m all for prosecuting to the grave any fool who screams “FIRE” in a crowded theater, when there is none, or similar acts likely to cause great harm or death. I think threatening to kill anyone should be a crime. But that means a public or recorded and proven declaration by a known person, not some “do you think we should?” poll on the Internet. There’s an obvious difference, and while that poll is certainly an insult to Obama, it hardly comes close to being an actual threat to his well-being.

What we have is the current administration doing it’s level best to strike more fear into the hearts of Americans. He wants our children to sing paens to him as if he were Jesus, he wants to be adored like one of those insane dictators of yore, and We Are Warned, speaking out against him may bring down his wrath upon us. Wow. What have we done?

Cairo, Egypt, is the largest Arab Islamic city. It’s garbage collection service has been maintained for over 50 years by a sect of Christian Copts known as the Zabaleen. They’re tolerated as Christians in the midst of all those Muslims not just because they maintain this service but because of the manner in which they do it.

Pigs.
Pigs eat the garbage and Muslims are forbidden from even touching a pig. Not so the Copts, so the way this works is, they collect the garbage put out by the streets, separate the edible organic stuff from the non-organic, recycle and sell the non-organic and feed the edible garbage to the pigs.

This is the waste collection service of the largest of all Arab cities, and it came into being back in the Bronze Age. Utterly primitive.

Then along came Swine Flu and the Egyptian government, to prevent the spread of swine flu, which is spread by people, not pigs, ignored all the protests from doctors all over the world and slaughtered all the pigs in Egypt!

Now the streets of Cairo are piled high with rotting, reeking garbage. Naturally, it’s infested with billions of flies, which, as any fool knows, spread disease. So now the citizens of Cairo can look forward to outbreaks of a variety of pestilences far beyond any problems the swine flu would have given them. They’re trying to replace the pigs with goats, which are ok for Muslims to touch, but the goats just aren’t making it, as you see below.

No city can survive without waste disposal. People keep generating garbage and it has to go somewhere that they don’t live, or the city becomes totally uninhabitable. Meanwhile the Copts, who ate the pigs as part of their diet, have no pig meat and no income from selling the recyclables, and are probably either starving to death or looking for a new home. This gets rid of a whole bunch of unwanted Christians and that makes the Muslims happy. I hope they can keep smiling as their garbage-filled streets run out of room to walk in and they start throwing it in each others back yards at night.

Maybe they’ll want to start exporting their garbage to foreign dumps. Exporting garbage is normal practice for Arab Muslims anyway, look at the trash they’ve dumped on the West now, with their terrorists and anti-West preachers in 1000′s of mosques.

Egypt is such a poor nation and Cairo a poor city that the possibility of them buying a fleet of garbage trucks and hiring workers to collect it, and creating a landfill for it, and so on, is nil. They really have only one choice, which is to buy a new bunch of pigs for the Copts, which is a lot cheaper than all those trucks and workers, and they’d better hurry while they still have the Copts.

How fitting is it that the foundation of the most populous city of the most populous Arab Muslim state of all, rests on pigs?

These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars
And the choosers

And its hard to love,
There’s so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above
Say its much too late
So maybe we should all be
Praying for time.

Anger, hatred, greed, shame, these are normal human emotions. So are love, adoration, gratitude, humility. Usually I express my anger, mostly, in this blog because it’s an angry world and there’s plenty of people doing things that anger.

Once in awhile, however, I take a break from the political and social corruption and criminality and just step back and look at this beautiful world. You might want to do the same, yourself, from time to time, just to keep your sanity and stay at least kind of centered, because to stay wrapped up in the doings of humanity 24/7 will take you to places no one should go.

If you put aside the doings of your fellow man, pretend that you’re actually not a member of the human race, oh, pretend you’re a bird maybe, and just look at the Earth from non-striving eyes, it looks amazing. That blue sky, the white of the caps and green of the forests and jungles, the tans of the deserts and mountains. The Earth is truly one in a million. How lucky to have consciousness as a thinking being and be on such a paradise of a planet.

It’s Saturday evening in my part of this planet, which is slowly rolling away toward the East, giving the illusion of our Sun dropping into the Western sea. I know that on Monday most of you will be going back to work, your break over, to immerse yourselves once again in the seethe of humanity. Take just a few minutes to set yourselves free, first. Free of yourselves, free of your attachments, free of being a human, and look at this wonderful world we live on and see if that doesn’t clarify and expand your understanding of the value of what you suffer and strive for.

If you do this well, you’ll remember that the reason you’re doing all that striving and suffering is to achieve happiness. That’s why you’re doing it. Remember?

So are you happy in what you’re doing? If no, then do you think that if you keep doing it you will be happy? Are you sure?

Set yourself free, for just a few minutes, and you may find a whole new way to be.

The whole point of being alive is to be happy and enjoy being alive. Not to suffer, but to find the light.

The only real fault I’ve found with growing old is that those of us who’ve found a few simple truths want to pass them on to those who we know will never pay the slightest attention because they’re too busy chasing their dreams in spite of the hardship that chase is costing them and those around them.

ACORN is suing the producers of the movies exposing their corruption, for exposing their corruption. Man, you can’t get any lower than that.

“Claiming the pair violated state law by recording their conversations without permission of the employees involved”, “Although we do not condone what our former employees did, no matter how entrapped they were, (talk about total bullshit) we are also committed to our 500,000 members that we will hold the defendants civilly and criminally responsible for their violations of Maryland laws and for the damages inflicted upon ACORN’s reputation,” said Bertha Lewis, the organization’s chief organizer.

Excuse me? They damaged their own reputation. That Bertha Lewis ought to be shot, or at least tarred and feathered, tied to a train rail and dragged out of town by mules. At least 11 states are already investigating ACORN for alleged voter registration fraud stemming from the 2008 election, and now we have 5 different ACORN offices all assisting in the promotion of sex slavery of underage girls, on tape.

Even Rep. Barney Frank, that fat, Leftard, disgusting, loudmouthed faggot whom I detest, has spoken out against ACORN and said their funding should be cut off. He finally got something right, as he also said “I do not believe that ACORN’s response has been adequate for an organization that has received public funding.”

That’s putting it pretty mildly for Barney the Loudmouth, but I’ll take what I can get from the corrupt Liberal Left. What a sorry mess our government has become.

In the news, the town of Bedford, New York is repeating the rejection of visiting insane person Moammar Ghadafi, aka Daffy Kadaffi, dictator of Libya and eager kissy kissy welcomer of the Lockerbie bomber who was released from prison over an oil deal and sent back to Libya. Daffy’s enthusiastic, party-time welcome of this guy has pissed off a lot of Americans, particularly those who lost family members when their airplane was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotlant, by Daffys buddy. Now Daffy is having a tough time finding a town that will allow him to pitch that big tent he likes to set up. I think that’s a small price to pay. Is there some reason this nutjob can’t rent a hotel room like everyone else?

Back in 1980 in Southern Rhodesia (brief history here) the British handed control of what was a British colony back to the native population, who renamed it Zimbabwe and proceeded to loot most of the white-owned businesses.
There was a lot of shooting and in the end the Zimbabwean economy nearly collapsed because not one of the natives had a clue about how to organize a dog fight, let alone run a hot dog stand.

-Today in Zimbabwe, the whites are being kicked off their farms in a “land distribution”, their homes looted and burned, and the land is being given to blacks who don’t know how to farm. The result is that their steadily sliding economy is now the poorest and worst on Earth, and the remaining white people, most of whom were born there just like everyone else, have to leave the country of their birth.

Show me an African nation that can prosper without European guidance and I’ll show you a new video game.

Not in the news: Obama telling Attorney General Eric Holder to vigorously prosecute ACORN for being a criminal organization, for promoting crime, for massive fraud violations and on and on;

Obama NOT telling Holder to STOP vigorously prosecuting members of the CIA in spite of the fact that doing so will greatly compromise our anti-terrorism efforts and will greatly aid Al Qaeda and the Taliban;

Any sign of the Far Left gaining back a shred of sanity.

Whenn 1000′s of Zelayas followers surrounded the Brazilian embassy to protect Zelaya, 100′s of Honduran soldiers dispursed them and then surrounded the embassy themselves. The embassy has now had its lights, water and phone lines cut off after deposed President Manuel Zelaya took refuge there. The Brazilians appealed to our embassy there, who pledged Tuesday to do whatever it can to help Brazil’s embassy after Barack Obama gave his approval.

“Our embassy in Tegucigalpa is in contact with their counterparts in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa and we’re discussing what kind of assistance that we can provide to help them during this crisis,” said State Department spokesman Ian Kelly.

“It’s a very sensitive situation there on the ground, and I don’t want to get into the details of what kind of assistance we’re discussing.”

Well, since I doubt the Honduran soldiers are allowing anyone past them including our feckless diplomats, the assistance would amount to passing on cell phone messages from the Brazilians and making ugly threats to the Hondurans.

This really pisses me off and embarasses me as an American. We’re supposed to be the ones holding up the light of Freedom for the rest of the world, The Guardians of Liberty and all that. Instead we have a president who’s doing all he can to not only destroy our freedoms, but those of any other country that he can, too. It is illegal in my country to advocate any sort of violence against the president. But by God, I can dream.

The previous article continues…….

The ousted former president of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya, has returned to Honduras, apparently by sneaking into the country, and is now hiding out in the Brazilian embassy, courtesy of Brazilian president “Lula” da Silva, and planning renewed disruptions by his minority group of followers.

The BBC, ever the Socialist yellow rag, in their interview with Zelaya, repeatedly refers to his lawful and rightful removal as a “coup”. It’s really something how all the Socialists are going to bat for this wanna-be dictator, including our Socialist scumsucking bitch of a president, Obama. At least Lula and Chavez are honest about their ambitions. Our guy just keeps lying his ass off.

I have a coup for you. Declare everyone in the Brazilian Embassy to be Persona non grata, break diplomatic ties with Brazil, and after everyone in there except Zelaya has gone back to Brazil, go in and kill the son of a bitch and secretly take his stinking corpse out and bury it in the jungle. Then invite the Brazilians back in again. If they do come back, they’ll think twice before ever pulling that Sanctuary crap again.

Zelaya is back in Honduras for only one thing. To try to take over the country. He wants to be dictator of Honduras and he thinks he still has a chance if enough of his followers can cause enough damage, disruption and death.

Just kill the bastard and be done with it.

The older we get, the spacier we get, or at least one out of every seven of us. That’s the current rate of Alzheimers, or dementia, for those who reach the age of 71. “The number of people with dementia globally is estimated to nearly double every 20 years, according to a report released Monday for World Alzheimer’s Day.”

“Much of the growth will be fueled by longer life spans and population growth, especially in developing nations.”

The rest of the increase is pretty much due to obesity and lack of exercise. If you want to stay sharp and not turn into some wandering, diapered Moon-child in your old age, the article advises the following: take vitamins A, C, and E, which are antioxidants that prevent cell damage and are believed to slow down diseases of aging.

“Fish oil and phosphatidylserine supplements may also help. Aging brains show signs of inflammation, and fish oil has anti-inflammatory properties, said Gary Small, director of the UCLA Center on Aging.” He also recommends eating curry at least once a week, noting that “Some studies in Singapore show that those who ate curry once a week had better memory scores”.

Taking a few vitamins and adding just one food product to your diet only once a week is a small thing that could keep you from becoming a babbling idiot reeking of piss. Now when you look at it that way, doesn’t it seem worth it?

Keeping your weight down and getting exercise, whether it’s working out or simply a morning walk, matters a lot too. You can’t expect a sharp brain in a flabby body. Exercising your brain is just as important, by maintaining an interest in things, putting out the mental effort to figure out your bank balance, things like that, that invigorate the old brain cells, will all keep your mind young and healthy.

People are living longer all over the world, and a lot of us are going loony in the process. Loony, by the way, comes from the name Luna, the name of our moon. You don’t have to become Lost In Space simply because you live a long time. You can prevent it.

The Peter Principle states that employees tend to rise to their level of incompetence. For instance, a teacher who is competent at teaching the 3rd grade may be utterly lost teaching at a Middle School level, and on being promoted to teach at that level, is too incompetent to ever rise any further to teaching a higher grade.

The real test of Obama’s decision to reverse the Bush policy in Eastern Europe of a long-range missile defense shield is not whether it was a good decision or not. Chances are, it was the most expedient move considering its potential usefulness as opposed to cost and actual feasability. In truth, the planned long-range missle defense system has yet to be built and tested and it may never have actually worked. It would also have cost unknown billions of dollars to create.

No. The real test of this is its execution. Not only were the two host countries, Poland and Czechoslovakia, not even notified in advance of this decision and allowed to prepare for it, a diplomatic blunder and insult of colossal proportion, but Obama’s decision was announced on the 70th anniversary of the invasion of Poland by the Nazis!

How’s that for incompetence? This incredible faux pas is the result of both Obama’s inexperience coupled with his elevation of competent people to incompetent advisory positions. If he had competent advisors, THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM to first notify the Poles and Czechs and discuss it with them, and to NOT announce this decision on Polands worst day of infamy.

Obama and his inadequate crew of Left-Wing radicals, Communists, Socialists and terrorist advisors are doing more to wreck this country through their incompetence than through their abilities. The headline of the above linked article is: “East European Officials: U.S. Betrayed Us”, and one quote: “An editorial in Hospodarske Novine, a respected pro-business Czech newspaper, said: “an ally we rely on has betrayed us, and exchanged us for its own, better relations with Russia, of which we are rightly afraid.” ”

The Poles are no happier.

Obama needs to hand out some very attractive alternatives to the missile shield to these allies, while we still do have them as allies. The whole point of that proposed missile shield, that the Russians hated so much, was that in fact it was designed to protect Poland and the Czechs from Russian nukes, not Iranian, and took away the power of Russia to bully and threaten them. Now we need to find some other way of keeping the Russians off their backs.

Let’s not forget that those two nations were overrun by Russia and forced into a very much hated Soviet Union, not to mention the murders of many 1000′s of Poles by Russians.

So let’s hope that Obama rises to the occasion and does something appropriate to neutralize the damage he’s now done to two very valuable Eastern Europe allies.

The United Nations was founded in 1945 (Wikipedia) after World War II to replace the League of Nations, to stop wars between countries, and to provide a platform for dialogue. It contains multiple subsidiary organizations to carry out its missions. It currently has 192 member states.

Another idealistic idea gone bad, much like Communism and Socialism. The UN started on a high note of idealism born of desperation. World War II was even more devastating than the World War which had preceeded it by only 21 years and that the world was still recovering and rebulding from. Consider that WWI ended in 1918 and WWII began on (as generally held) September 1, 1939, with the German invasion of Poland and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by most of the countries in the British Empire and Commonwealth, and by France.

As many as 78 million people died in WWII and the destruction and material loss was immense beyond belief. Nations ceased to exist and new ones were born. It was unimaginable in scope.

So the United Nations was the worlds Great Hope, that through it all nations would come together to the meeting table and work out their disagreements peacefully, and that we would thus put an end to war, forever. This eternal peace ended in June, 1950 when war broke out between North and South Korea and we jumped right into the middle of it. Various other wars have gone on ever since.

Judging from that, you might think that the UN was a total failure. You would be correct. Today it’s nothing more than a mouthpiece for Islamists. Russia’s Soviet Union no longer dominates it, having collapsed, and the Russians have little further use for it as a vehicle for attacking the U.S., now that Communism has flopped so badly over there. Likewise the Chinese want little part of it and our government has consistently used it to shove our own agendas down everyone else’s throats.

All that idealism went to pieces in very short order as most of the nation members quickly felll to infighting and backstabbing each other for political advantage.

A phony self-proclaimed Christian who was actually a Muslim, one Kofi Annon, became Sec.-General in 1997 to 2007 and completed the corruption of an organization that should have already been disbanded years before. There was the Oil-for-Food scandal of 2003, for instance. Oil For Food was established in 1996 to allow Iraq to sell oil on the world market in exchange for food, medicine, and other humanitarian supplies for Iraqi citizens. Instead, the oil money was being used in large part to fill the bank account of Kofi Annans son, Kojo.

Since then, under the guise of speaking for all members of the UN, the Islamists there are claiming that Israel committed war crimes in the last Gaza fracas and should be prosecuted, just as they did over the battles in Lebanon. These same UN spokespeople have been constantly hassling the Sri Lankan government over its war against the Islamist terrorist Tamil Tigers, and now that they finally won the war in spite of the efforts of Kofi Annan and now Ban-Ki Moon, the UN is pressuring Sri Lanka to let 10,000 Tamils still in camps free without sifting through them for the remaining Tamil Tiger radicals among them. Naturally, the Sri Lankans say NO, but these are good examples of the uses that the United Nations is being put to today under the pretense of being a neutral mediator.

I find it interesting that our new president, Barack Hussein Obama, disregarding a law forbidding State Department officials from attending United Nations meetings led by representatives of nations considered to be sponsors of terrorism, has sent State Department officials to the board meetings of the United Nations’ Development Program and Population Fund in late spring and this month. The bodies are presided over by Iran, which is on our State Department’s terror list, along with Cuba, Sudan and Syria.

Barack Obama will host a special meeting for African heads of state when they attend the UN General Assembly in New York next week.

Obama, who will make his first visit to the UN as US president, will take part on September 22 in a climate change summit and address the 64th UN General Assembly session the same day.

He will preside over a UN Security Council meeting on nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament on September 24. It will be the first time a US president will preside over the council because the US coincidentally holds the rotating presidency in September.

Obama is giving power to a corrupt assembly dominated by Islamists. Why am I not surprised?

Not long ago, our president, whom I don’t shy away from calling every name in the book, called a police officer “stupid” for arresting a black man, when he knew nothing of the circumstances of the arrest.

Just recently, he called a black singer of hiphop music a jackass. At least this time he was correct. It does help to know what you’re talking about if you’re going to hand out insults.

His attack on the white cop was clearly racist, considering he leaped to the conclusion that a white cop arresting a black college professor who specialized in the subject of white profiling of black people, had to be in the wrong.

His attack on the black singer was blurted and easily as rude as Joe Wilsons “You lie”. Both were correct. The singer is a jackass, and Obama did lie. But that’s not the point.

The point is that, when you deal out disrespect to the public, you get it back. Obama has repeatedly, consistently lied, changed his story, said one thing and then done another, and displayed racism he claimed not to have while handing out undeserved insults.

Even after the white cop and “You lied” incident, he hasn’t taken the message from that. If you want people to talk to you with respect as the President of the United States of America, you have to display respect for others. Blurting out defamatory remarks aimed at relatively unimportant people shows us all just how lilttle respect he actually has for people.

He’s an egomaniac. Otherwise, considering the weight of his office, he’d have the sense to keep his mouth shut about us common people. But no. He thinks that his opinion is the only opinion that matters, which is why he reveals it so freely.

You can disagree, but I just don’t think that our president, whoever that is, should ever become involved in our little squabbles and disagreements, but should butt out, stay aloof and deal with the running of our nation. Neither should the various incivilities between celebrities ever be of any concern to the person who is in charge of the vast responsiblities of the presidency.

That Obama has shown himself incapable of this tells me he feels like a god, entitled to micro-manage each and every one of our lives, and that should worry you.

“THE AIM of U.S. policy in Honduras should be to reinforce the principles of democracy and the rule of law and to thwart those — including ousted president Manuel Zelaya and his mentor, Hugo Chávez — who are seeking to subvert them. At stake is not just the future of Honduras, a tiny Central American country, but the survival of threatened liberal institutions across Latin America.”

That’s exactly right. Can anyone explain, then, why Hussein Obama, our piece of shit president, has just done the following?

TEGUCIGALPA,
Honduras (AP) — “Honduran officials said Saturday that the United States had taken away the diplomatic and tourist visas of 17 interim government officials and the acting president.
Interim President Roberto Micheletti said that his United States diplomatic and tourist visas had been revoked in response to the June 28 coup in which President Manuel Zelaya was forced into exile.”

I can explain, easily. Obama is a Socialist who wants to gain total control over the United States, as a dictator. This is why he takes the side of dictators like Hugo Chavez.

He’s not the first president we ever had who backed banana republic dictators. That’s almost a tradition with our presidents. The difference is that before, it was done to control the countries while our corporations looted their natural resources. This time there’s no profit motive, he’s pushing a Socialist agenda, which is the takeover of Central America by Socialist dictators, whom he then expects to be his allies.

Honduras itself is a poor country with very little to offer outside of coffee and banana exports and pretty views. The problem with Honduras is that it stands out in its defiance of the Mighty United States. Honduras is in the way of Obamas goal. What Obama has just done is the ultimate insult to an existing democratic government. He has declared the President of Honduras to be persona non grata, because that man is sticking to his guns and not knuckling under to him. Zelaya was ousted by the highest court of Honduras and it was done in complete accordance with their constitution and their laws, and Obama is embarassing the Hell out of me with this stuff.

I’m GLAD Joe Wilson yelled “You lie” at the stinking son of a bitch, president or not. Obama deserves no respect at all, and by the way, Joe Wilson has so far received over a million dollars in donations for doing that. Looks like a lot of Americans agree with him.

This is like when that jackass called the white cop stupid for arresting a black racist, ranting, screaming and totally out of control college professor. Barack Obama is a disgrace to the presidency and our nation, and if we had a Republican and Independent majority in congress, he’d would be impeached in a hot minute.

Tiny little Honduras is a true Democracy with a courageous government and a president who says he won’t bow to pressure from Obama and his thugs. I’m for you, Sir. Please don’t let yourself, your people, and many here in the U.S. down.

Today is Saturday, the day when yard sale signs sprout on lawns and telephone poles all over America, and never have there ever before been so many. It’s a sign of the times when you see people loading up their front lawns with stuff to sell that they used to give away to thrift stores, battered womens shelters and the like.

Well, charity begins at home, and a few dollars from selling off the old baby clothes or Grandma’s McCoy pottery planters will help pay the power bill or put a little more food on the table. Of course, it is a problem when everyone is selling. Who’s buying?

That’s where you separate the neighborhood Haves from the Have Nots. Those actually buying at the yard sales are of three types, those who still have a job and an income and are bargain hunting to stretch their paychecks, those who don’t but need some basics and can’t afford the store prices, and the vain, who take their yard sale money from last Saturday to run around this Saturday in their better clothes and show off a false appearance of wealth to their neighbors. I suppose, too, I should include those who are just simply addicted to shopping.

I ran an antique business and did well during the Bush Sr. Depression, and it damn sure WAS a depression regardless of his insisting that it was *merely* a recession. Anyway, where I got nearly all my inventory was from yard sales. When times get bad and all the hockey sticks and old sweaters have been rummaged through and No Sale, then out comes the good stuff. We all have to eat, and those dandy old antiques that serve no purpose other than to be decorative finally get dragged out to the front lawn and sold.

One thing I must say, we are innovative when it comes to making a living. Most of us, anyway. I did notice, as did we all, that the number of homeless people soared dramatically during the Bush Depression, and has done so again during the current political/economic debacle, but bad times are also the times when new businesses spring up that become the next great corporations.

If you’re one of those who sails the yards on weekends, for whatever reason, keep an eye out. There’s only so much good old stuff, and when that’s gone and the junk starts showing up again, along with the freshly canned peaches and tomatoes and the home-made gadgets, I hope you’ve found a good niche to be in because that means times have gotten challenging for America once again. Right now it’s still not so bad, even with all the unemployment. Where we go from here is up to that passel of selfish schemers we installed in Washington, and I wouldn’t put any eggs in that basket.

On September 11, 2001, that morning, 19 members of Usama bin Ladens Al-Qaeda terrorists crashed two highjacked airliners into the World Trade Center, killing a total of 2993 people including themselves and all the people on both airplanes.

All of the highjackers were Muslims, and 17 of the 19 were from Saudi Arabia.

Today, let’s remember that Saudi Arabia, the nation we protect, by treaty, from outside attack, is our worst enemy. Let’s remember that Saudi Arabia is using the wealth we give them in exchange for their oil to attack and subvert our nation, through the building here in our country of mosques that they preach Hate America from, Muslim schools, madrassas, that they teach Muslim childen to Hate America at, and that they are actively aiding the immigration into our country of more of their hateful kind. Islam is inherently evil, and Saudi Arabia’s Wahabbist Islam is the worst.

Today, let’s NOT FORGET that Saudi Islamists are using their oil revenues to shove Islam down our throats and the throats of every person in Europe by any means possible including the worst kinds of violence and murder.

Today, let’s NOT FORGET that the single greatest enemy of modern civilization is Islam. It was not bin Laden who assauted our nation. It was Islam. Bin Laden is merely one of the generals. Islam is the army. The Muslims will keep attacking and attacking and attacking until we either fall under their swords or rise up and attack back with greater vigor, and crush them as they want to crush us.

If we forget that this date is the date SAUDI ARABIAN WAHABBIST MUSLIMS declared WAR ON AMERICA, then shame on us. This is no different than when the Japanese launched their sneak attack on Pearl Harbor and killed 2350 people. We knew who our enemy was then and we know who it is now. Our government would have us believe it’s Iraq, or Afghanistan, or Pakistan. No. It’s Islam, and it’s the Saudi Wahabbist form of Islam, which is pure evil.

When we remember this date, 9 / 11 / 2001, we need to remember why we’re doing so. We’re doing it because we were attacked by Saudi Arabia, and we’re still being attacked by Saudi Arabia, most foul nation of insane practitioners of the most evil form of Islam on the planet.

If you’re thinking of taking a pass on getting flu shots this year, and notice the plurality of the word “shots”, you might want to think again.

There will be at least two varieties of influenza going around and both are, of course, contagious. The H1N1 virus that we’ve all come to know and love as Swine Flu has proven itself to be plenty contagious. It’s also somewhat mild compared to many flu epidemics of the past, in its effects, killing only a very small number of people.

But here’s the thing: If you catch one form of the flu, you will very likely also catch the other form. Besidest the fact that a double-dose of flu is going to be fatal for an awful lot of people, the massive epidemic that’s expected from this coming flu season will be another devastating blow to our economy.

If 25% or more those still employed have to take sick leaves of a week or two, or possibly more, that will add up to many billions of unearned dollars that will not be spent in the markets of our nation. It will increase an already heavy personal debt load suffered now by most Americans, who will fall behind on paying their bills.

The 1918 flu “pandemic” sickened 28% of all Americans, an estimated 675,000 Americans died, and it killed somewhere between 20 million and 40 million people worldwide at a time when the population of Earth was about one-fifth of what it is now, with little travel between mostly pretty isolated communities and nations. Today it would take out at least a billion people, and remember, this was only one type of avian flu, not two mutations striking at once.

Where flu kills most people is by causing the rapid onset of pneumonia, which is why flu usually kills mostly the very young and the old. In the 1918 epidemic, that flu variety was so nasty that people would very often die of lung infections within hours of showing the first signs of illness, and people between 20 and 40 years old were the most likely victims.

You may not die if you should get infected with both types, but getting pneumonia is still very likely. There is a pneumonia vaccine that is readily available at any clinic, it’s a lifetime shot, although there are boosters for it for those over 65, which they should get. The pneumonia vaccine will probably do more to save your life than the flu shots will, because it will protect you even when you come down with a really bad cold. It will aways be there for you. Get it.

While I’m openly for the radical reduction in the human population of our poor, beat-up Earth, the Liberal morons I rant about don’t read this blog anyway, just you survivor types, and you’re the ones who need to be here.

So get your shots and batten down the hatches. Hey, good investment possiblity – the coffin industry. Stocks are bound to go up.

I read the text of Obama’s speech and there are a few things I would change. Overall, though, it’s reasonably innocuous. He gets into his personal history in a way I’m uncomfortable with, as it’s too personal. While he appears to be simply trying to put himself and his audience on the same level, it comes across to me as simply too unpresidential. Presidents can’t be chummy and maintain the proper respect for the office, not that the last few have done any better at it.

Only a small part of his speech is openly Liberal Left, and most of that is in this part: “You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free.”

What does he mean by “More fair”? By taxing the weathy who mostly worked hard for it and giving it to those who didn’t earn it. That’s Obama’s “more fair”, and we all know it. As for “More free”, we’ll be a lot more free if he’ll stop expanding government control over us and start shrinking it back again.

The “more fair and more free” line is objectionable. The rest of it is intended to both inspire students to achieve, and inspire them to like Barack Obama. No worse or better than any other politician would do.

The other part is that it is a bit Orwellian. “Workers Unite” sort of stuff, toned down but still there. Jack Kennedy did speeches on being patriotic and keeping physically fit, Obama is soft on the patriotism part and heavy on the Be A Good Worker For The State approach. He’s no JFK.

A lot of schools nationwide are still opting not to show his speech, and part of this is because some are in predominately white, right-of-center areas, and part of it is because he’s scared a lot of people with his socialism and radical cabinet appointees and czars.

His popularity is dropping fairly fast and I expect this speech is part of a design to give it a boost again. That’s standard political stuff. My problem is with Obama himself. I think he’s a disaster for my country and I’d just as soon he never said another word for the rest of his term.

But the speech isn’t nearly as Lefty as I was expecting. I guess it won’t do any harm and may even help some kids get it more together.

If you want to read it, here’s the full speech text, that’s supposed to be the same as when he gives it tomorrow:

OBAMA: Hello, everyone — how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through 12th grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.

I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.

I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday — at 4:30 in the morning.

Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, “This is no picnic for me either, buster.”

So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.

Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility.

I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.

I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.

I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.

But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.

And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.

Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.

Maybe you could be a good writer — maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper — but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor — maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine — but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a senator or a Supreme Court justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.

And no matter what you want to do with your life — I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.

And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.

You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that — if you quit on school — you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.

Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.

I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in.

So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.

But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our first lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.

Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.

But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life — what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home — that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying.

Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.

That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.

Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.

I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer — hundreds of extra hours — to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he’s headed to college this fall.

And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.

Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same. That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education — and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.

Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.

I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.

That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you — you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.

No one’s born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work. You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust — a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor — and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you — don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best. It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.

So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?

Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down — don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

Hurrah, hurrah! Van Jones, outspoken radical Communist, black nationalist and white hater, has been pressured into resigning as Obama’s “Green Jobs” czar.

This is more than just one nasty appointee gone. This opens the door to forcing Obama to get rid of more of his radical friends, and has inspired those not so left of center to start demanding that Congress oversee any future appointments.

Meanwhile, the Constitutionality of those appointments is now being brought into question. Van Jones is such a garishly visible example of the worst of all possible people to be chosen by Obama for high positions, that now all of his “czars” are getting much more closely scrutinized. This also heavily exposes Obama’s Socialist, radical leftist agenda, and while we public cattle won’t be brought into the conversation, you can bet a lot of Congresspeople are buzzing about it now. He’s so far left that he’s got to be scaring a lot of them, if for no other reason than they’re starting to fear for their jobs come re-election time.

About his pending speech to the school kiddies on Tuesday… Other Presidents have addressed the kids in the past, over the radio and on TV, and even Abe Lincoln said right out to teach the kids patriotism while they’re young, indoctrinate them while they’re impressionable.

My point is that no one ever objected to this before. Not ever. Now, suddenly, Americans all over the place are alarmed, and angry at Obama for doing this, and a whole lot of them will be keeping their kids home on Tuesday. This, more than anything else, says that the tide has really turned against that man. When Americans want to protect their children from hearing the president speak, my God, think what that says.

Obama only won the presidency by 3.5% of the vote, which is a very slim margin and especially when you consider that he outspent McCain about ten to one and had most of the mainstream media behind him. If he were actually as popular as the Liberals have been trying to make him sound, he would have won by over 10%.

It looks like the love affair is finally over. This is a true case of the groom finally realizing his bride is just a pig wearing lipstick, and today has turned out to be a pretty fine Sunday, gloomy skies, rain, and all.

I keep waiting, but it never happens. What I’m waiting for is for some TV news anchor to throw off his or her obvious restraints and TELL IT LIKE IT GODDAM HELL IS!!! How obvious does it have to get that those people are on leashes by their bosses? Bill O’Reilly of FOX Cable News goes out of his way to make it obvious, by sidestepping things so blatantly that you’d have to be an idiot not to see that he was being suppressed in telling us the whole truth.

Glen Beck on Fox is a lot more forward but even when he’s revealing some truly terrible shit, he couches it as “These are merely questions I’m asking that you have to find the answers to. I don’t KNOW that Obama is a radical Socialist racist pig son of a bitch, I’m merely asking if YOU think he is…” that sort of thing. No, that’s not an actual quote, that’s just my wishful thinking.

I occasionally tune in to other news media, such as CNN. Today CNN is hosting a review of the glorious life of Michael Jackson, sexual pervert and insane muthafucka. Honoring him, and replete with pictures of his hideously altered face, gruesomely transformed by too many greedy plastic surgeons into an actual cartoon image of his sister. Yeah, he was a very popular entertainer who loved drugs and little boys and he’s fuckin’ DEAD, now for God’s sakes MOVE ON!

Tripe. We get tripe for news. We don’t get important shit, we get pig guts, empty intestines, no meat. Who gives you the meat? We bloggers do! Reminds me of that great song by Jackson Browne: “You just want meat, you don’t want me, You asshole you”. I wish everyone did want the meat of what’s happening in the world, but they don’t. If they did, you wouldn’t keep seeing this disgusting Michael Jackson shit being constantly replayed, because the stations wouldn’t run it if no one would watch it. It’s popular, though. The portion of the bloated, obese, French-fry pig-stuffing faced greasy-mouthed, necks-wider-than-their-fucking-heads American stupid, unthinking voting worthless trash people who like this shit enough to keep its ratings up, makes me want to rip off their heads and puke down their necks.

That’s what I get for trying to catch the news on a Saturday evening. That shit isn’t news.

Anger keeps me going better than calm acceptance ever could. If any of you ever read any of the Freak Brothers comic books of around 1969, this longhaired, dope smoking character, Freewheelin’ Franklin, had a saying: “Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope”. Any fool knows that dope won’t get you through anything except perhaps an operation, but the idea is the same, only in reverse. Rather than stone out on what’s going on in the world like the aforementioned Bloated, obese, French-fry etcetera, I’d personally rather look right at it and stay alarmed and pissed off.

This is the problem. The Press is being dumbed down by their employers so’s not to piss off anyone and upset their ratings, and the public is too dazed to give a shit. The end result is that THE FUCKING SKY IS TRULY FALLING, AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW IT’S ETA UNTIL IT LANDS RIGHT ON YOUR HEAD!!!

Any of you staying on top of Dec. 21, 2012? I’ve been doing some research on that date and the more I learn, the more of a wowser it looks like. You who read my ravings know that I don’t go in much for conspiracy stuff or spiritual woo-woo and all. I like my science leather-bound. Well, kids, it seems that something weird can happen when this alignment occurs, that is, when the axis of our Solar System is dropping from one side of our galaxy to the other. That’s right, our galaxy is very thin and our solar system cycles up and down through the edge. On that particular date, a gamma ray emission of great strength is known to sometimes burst out from the galactic center, and our position at that time, if it happens, will suck, to put it simply. Gamma rays kill stuff by the planetful.

So Hey, be of good cheer and think good thoughts. Maybe, if it happens, it will kill off all those fat, stupid fucks first. The bigger you are, the more you absorb. Gotta love it.
