Random Thoughts

A random thought from an addled mind:

Terrorist Released from Guantanamo

Source Document Center: Obama Releases
First Terrorist From Guantanamo Prison

On February 23, 2009, the Obama Administration released its first unlawful enemy combatant
back into society as former Guantanamo Bay detainee Binyam Mohamed landed in Great
Britain
on Monday morning. This disastrous move comes just three days before the 16th anniversary of the first bombing of the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993—a terrorist attack that killed six people and wounded 1,000 others. When the news broke, ABC News reported that members of the group Military Families United made thousands of calls to the White House to express their outrage and opposition to the release. According to Military Families United: Mohamed was captured in Pakistan in April, 2002, and has admitted to training at various Al-Qaeda training camps, where he specialized in firearms and explosives. He is accused of plotting a series of attacks on the United States with Jose Padilla and Khalid Sheik
Mohammed.
According to a British news source, Mohamed will only be required to live
at an agreed address and to check in regularly with police.” Read Mohamed’s unclassified “Combatant Status Review Board”

By releasing this man from custody, it appears that President Obama is more interested in
pleasing the ACLU than keeping Americans safe.

Mass civil liberties rallies planned for UK...

Civil liberties campaigners meet:
Lawyers, judges, politicians, human rights supporters, anti-surveillance activists and members of the Countryside Alliance are gathering at several UK cities on Saturday to discuss their concerns about the alleged erosion of civil liberties.
The Convention on Modern Liberty is being held in London, Belfast, Bristol, Cardiff, Cambridge, Glasgow and Manchester.
They will hear from a roster of speakers that will include Liberty director Shami Chakrabarti, journalist Henry Porter, barrister Helena Kennedy and Tory MP David Davis. American journalist Jamie Malanowski, writing in The First Post, called for the UK to have its own Bill of Rights.
He added: "It's time to summon up the shades of such great British reformers as William Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists. It's time to realise that Britain needs to make real something it already thinks is right."Full article: Shrivelled liberties, the fightback starts here

TEA PARTY

Some of you are liberal,
some are conservative
and some are rational (like me!),
but certainly we can all agree that Washington has gone insane!

This insane deficit spending and anti-capitalistic rescuing must stop!

Reflections on PresBo's Speach

From the prepaired text of his speach the other night, there are a few items that need to be brought to everyone's attention.

How many times the following words were used:

Freedom
Independance
Government


The answer:

Freedom: 1
Independance: 0
Government: 7

7 times the leader of the Free World said Government.

Why?

We are free because of private Enterprise, and Independant thought, not because of Government.

PresBo believes that this Country is great because of Government.

When did this become acceptable to the American people?

Or do they even know or care?

A metaphor for change...

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House.
One is from Chicago, another from Tennessee , and the third is from Minnesota.
All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The Minnesota contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring,
then works some figures with a pencil.
"Well," he says, "
I figure the job will run about $900:
$400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.
"The Tennessee contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says,
"I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Chicago contractor doesn't measure or figure,
but leans over to the White House official and whispers, "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, says,
"You didn't even measure like the other guys!
How did you come up with such a high figure?"
The Chicago contractor whispers back,
"$1000 for me, $1000 for you,
and we hire the guy from Tennessee to fix the fence."
"Done," replies the government official!
___And that, my friends, is how the new stimulus plan will work.

Happy rainbows & unicorns!

MSNBC "OH GOD" Comment

Someone at MSNBC forgot to turn the microphone off before Gov. Jindal gives his Republican responce to Obama's speach before Congress.


Gotta Love the Liberal News Networks, and their lack of common sense.

Plan to Destroy the GOP

From Scott Wheeler

Let me tell you the real reason Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid pushed through the biggest spending bill in history — without proper debate, without Republican input, and without any public scrutiny at all.
Simply, they are trying to turn the United States into a one-party country and to put the Republican Party out of business once and for all.
The massive appropriation called a stimulus — some $787 billion of your money — is really a political war chest for the Democrats.
They want to change the face of American politics forever, and they want to use your taxpayer money to do it.

Big Lie No. 1: The Emergency
They told us that the country is in such a dire situation that it was an emergency.
That was Big Lie No. 1: The bill was not an emergency measure.
This was a ruse. They falsely claimed it was an emergency bill to cut off all debate.
The lie about the urgency was made clear when President Obama, rather than immediately signing the bill, went on vacation to celebrate Valentine's Day with his wife in Chicago. [Amazingly he had been in Washington less than a month before he took his first vacation!]
In fact, Obama took almost four days to sign this “urgent” bill.
Big Lie No. 2: Immediate Stimulus
And then there is Big Lie No. 2: The bill offered immediate help to our ailing economy.
The truth: The bill does not offer significant, immediate stimulus.
Most of the stimulus money won't even be spent this year, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office!
And the CBO has warned that the bill actually will hurt long-term economic growth.
Infrastructure programs, including items such as $8 billion for a high-speed train between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, will take a decade or longer to complete — if environmentalists ever let the project begin.
Republican traitor Arlen Specter, who backed the stimulus bill, got more than $6 billion in the bill for “medical research” — another lulu that has nothing to do with immediate economic stimulus.
Big Lie No. 3: Bipartisan Support
Then there is Big Lie No. 3: This bill was a bipartisan effort to save the economy.
It was anything but.
Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham said bluntly: “If this is going to be bipartisanship, the country's screwed."
Indeed, every Republican in the House voted against the bill, along with six courageous Democratic congressmen.
In the Senate, almost every Republican opposed the bill except three liberals: Sens. Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter.
Obama promised he would change the “old politics” of Washington. Instead, he is playing hardball partisan Democratic politics of the Chicago type.
He has used the weakening economy as his Reichstag fire event to get to pass an incredible amount of money so he could funnel huge amounts of pork and political payoffs to his Democratic cronies and allies.
And now, he is even talking about a second stimulus program! Why not? Congress just passed his first bill without even reading it! What a joke . . .
Help us expose Obama's Big Lies — Donate to Our Campaign — Go Here Now.
The Real Purpose: Abolish the GOP
I have no doubt what the real purpose of the stimulus bill was.
Simply, it was to lay the ground work of the remaking of America's political system into a one-party system.
Yes, a one-party socialist state that destroyed countries like Mexico.
We have seen what one-party rule has done to cities like Cleveland, Detroit, other cities — and corrupt Chicago.
The media will never tell you this, but that's the real agenda behind the Obama stimulus bill.
This is why so little of the stimulus is spent now, but spread out over several years.
This means Obama and Democrats will have hundreds of billions to disburse to their supporters, creating a new party cadre that will help them win re-election in 2010 and 2012.
Don't believe me?
Well, we all know the fraud perpetrated by groups like ACORN to register Democratic voters.
In the run-up to the 2009 election, millions of new “voters” were registered – and it clearly helped elect Obama – and gave the Democrats big majorities in the House and Senate.
Their game plan for 2008 worked. Now they want to use public funds — our tax dollars — to pay for more of their political activities.
For example, the final stimulus bill gives $3 billion to groups like ACORN.
Consider that, in 2008, Obama claimed that he raised $750 million for his campaign. Compared with that amount, ACORN's $3 billion is staggering.
No doubt, these billions will help ACORN in its political work of “community organizing” — a euphemism for Democratic activitism.

ACORN at it again

This video is crazy. The mentality of the people in this world and their belief to intitlement because of race or economic issues.

This video is an interview with an Acorn Representative.
The Reporter says that people are not paying their bills and that is why they are forclosing the houses. The ACORN lady says they are paying their bills, and this is just racist.



Bertha Lewis: Housing is a right.
Stuart Varney: It is not a right.
Bertha Lewis: Yes it is.
Stuart Varney: I've read the Bill of Rights, I've read the Constitution, no where does it say that housing is a right.
Bertha Lewis: Yes it is.
Stuart Varney: Can you show me? Which page? Which line?
Bertha Lewis: Well we have the right to the pursuit of happiness.
Stuart Varney: You have a right to a house? Where does it say that?
Bertha Lewis: If you're a hard working American and you pay your taxes and you do the right thing you do have a right to protect your home.

Reality Check

Reality Check


Hey Sean Penn,

Really, come on and give me a break. Why should I be ashamed because I oppose Gay Marriage? For those who missed it, (and I was one of them) at the Oscars on Sunday night, the great Sean Penn mentioned that those people out there who appose Gay Marriage should be ashamed of themselves. Tell me, why should I be ashamed to have an apposing viewpoint. Is that not what makes this country great, to have people who agree and disagree on certain topics. Maybe that was okay in the past, but today, if you appose a viewpoint of the Leftist Socialists, then you are to be chastised and ridiculed. Political Correctness has been like a virus slowly affecting the world over the past twenty years, and now it has become the norm. Personally, I have many Gay friends; to me they are normal people, with a different sexual preference. Do I have to avoid them because I do not swing the way they do? No. I do not support Gay Marriage, but I do support Gay Unions. Marriage is defined as a union between a man and a woman. This is how it should stay. However, a Union between two people for the purpose of last wills and testaments and tax breaks…why not.

Naturally, I have received bad glances from Conservatives because of my support for Union, and my negative support for a Constitutional Amendment to ban Gay Marriage. Well, I am a Constitutionalist, not a Republican. I believe that Government has no right to decide positively or negatively to this or any other issue. This should be left up to the States and the people. As we saw with Prop 8 in California, the people in mass said no. Who are the largest groups of voters in California…Democrats? Who supports and Rams down the throat of everyone the idea of support for Gay Marriage…Democrats. So, what is being said here? The new President has a stance on this issue also. He also apposes Gay Marriage. He is a Democrat. Should Obama be ashamed? Should all the Democrats in California be ashamed? Sean Penn meant to be insulting the groups that are actively against Gay Marriage. Church groups and Conservatives. What about the Democrats Sean?

For once, I wish that the Hollywood crowd would actually award a movie for the acting, not its political messages. If it is anti Republican, and pro Democrat, then it will win. Instead, the people in charge of handing out the awards should have watched “Frost/Nixon” and see Frank Langella performance, and see that without a doubt that he should have won Best Actor. Instead, a politically motivated idea won the award. The Oscars only got one thing right this year. That was the Best Supporting Actor Award to the Late Heath Ledger for his fabulous performance as Joker in the “Dark Knight.”

Its time for a reality check Hollywood.

A TAX POEM

At first I thought this was funny then I realized the awful truth of it.
A TAX POEM
Tax his land and tax his bed.
Tax the table at which he's fed.
Tax his tractor - Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes are now the rule.
Tax his work and tax his pay.
He works for peanuts anyway!
Tax his cow and tax his goat.
Tax his pants and tax his coat.
Tax his ties and tax his shirt.
Tax his work and tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco - Tax his drink.
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his cigars - tax his beers.
If he cries then tax his tears.
Tax his car - Tax his gas.
Find other ways to tax his ass.
Tax all he has then let him know
You won't be done ‘til he has no dough.
When he screams and hollers
then tax some more,
Tax him ‘til he's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin - Tax his grave.
Tax the sod in which he's laid.
Put these words upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to doom.'
When he's gone, do not relax.
Its time to use the inheritance tax.

From: The Boss
To: My Valued Employees
Date: Today
Re: The Future

Good morning everyone!

There have been some rumblings around the office about the future of this company and, more specifically, about your jobs. As you know the economy has changed for the worse and it presents many challenges. However, the good news is this: the economy doesn't pose a threat to your job! What does threaten your job, however, is the changing political landscape in this country. Let me share with you some little tidbits which might help you decide what is in your best interests. While it is easy to spew rhetoric that pits employers against employees, that is a waste of time. The truth is you and I have to work together to get our product out the door and new orders in. You already know your side of this arrangement but you have to understand that for every business owner there is a ‘Back Story.’ This back story is often neglected and overshadowed by what you see and hear.

Sure, you’ve seen my Mercedes parked outside and you've been to my house for Christmas parties and barbecue’s. It’s a big house and the decorator my wife hired was very good. I'm sure that all these flashy icons of luxury conjure up some idealized thoughts about my life, but what you don't see is the ‘Back Story.’I started this company 28 years ago. At that time I lived in a 300 square foot studio apartment for three years. My entire apartment living room was converted into an office so I could put 100% of my effort into building a company which would, by the way, eventually provide you with a job.

My diet consisted of Ramen noodles because every dollar I spent went back into this company. I drove a rusty Toyota Corolla with a defective transmission that two of you will remember. I didn't have time to date. Often times I stayed home on weekends while my friends went out drinking and partying. In fact I was married to my business. Hard work, discipline, and sacrifice describe my early years exactly.Meanwhile, my friends got jobs. They worked 40 hours a week and made $50K a year and spent every dime they earned and borrowed as much as they could. They drove flashy cars and lived in expensive homes and wore fancy designer clothes. Instead of hitting the Nordstrom's for the latest hot fashion item I was trolling through the discount and thrift stores extracting any clothing that didn't look like it was birthed in the 70's. My friends refinanced their mortgages and lived a life of luxury. I did not. I put my time and my money and my life into a business with an understanding that some day I would be able to actually afford those luxuries my friends were running up credit card debt for.Still today, while some of you arrive at the office at exactly 9:00am and manage to mentally check in at about noon and then rush out the door at 5:00pm sharp, I don't. I’m here to unlock the door in the morning and I’m the guy that turns out the lights after the cleaning crew finishes at 8:00pm. There is no "off" button for me. When you leave the office on Friday you are done and you can have a weekend all to yourself. I do not have that freedom. I eat and breathe this company every minute of the day. There is no rest - there is no weekend - there is no happy hour. Every day this business is attached to my hip like a one-year-old special-needs child. You only see the fruits of the garden: the nice house, the Mercedes and the vacations, but you never realize the Back Story and the sacrifices I've made. Yes - business ownership has is benefits but the price I've paid is steep and not without wounds.

Now the economy is falling apart and the guy who made all the right decisions and saved his money (that would be me), is being forced to bail-out all the people who didn't. The people that overspent their paychecks suddenly feel entitled to the same luxuries that I’ve earned and sacrificed three decades of my life for.Unfortunately for all of you the cost of running this business (and subsequently, of employing you), is starting to eclipse the threshold of marginal benefit to me, and let me tell you why:I am being taxed to death and the government still thinks I don't pay enough! I have State taxes. Federal taxes. Property taxes. Sales and use taxes. Payroll taxes. Workers compensation taxes. Unemployment taxes. Taxes on taxes. I have to hire a tax man to manage all these taxes and then guess what? I have to pay taxes for employing him. Government mandates and regulations and all the accounting that goes with it now occupies more of my time that the business itself. On Oct 15th of this year I wrote a check to the US Treasury for $288,000 for quarterly taxes.

You know what my "Stimulus" check was? Zero. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Zip. The question I have is who do you think is stimulating the economy? Me, the guy who has provided 14 people good paying jobs and serves over 2,200,000 people a year with a flourishing business, or the single mother sitting at home pregnant with her fourth child waiting for her next welfare check? Obviously, the government feels the latter is the economic engine of this country.

The fact is that if I deducted (Read: Stole) 50% of your paycheck you'd quit! You wouldn't work here and why should you? That would be nuts. Who wants to get rewarded for only 50% of their hard work? Well, I agree! But that's why your job is in jeopardy.Here is a fact some of you don't understand - to stimulate the economy you need to stimulate what drives the economy. What drives the economy? It’s very simple: middle-class Americans buying goods and services from companies that employ other middle-class Americans. That is where the vast majority of wealth is generated and held. All the money owned by the very rich wouldn’t come close to the amount owned by the middle class.

Had our government suddenly told me that I didn't need to pay taxes, guess what I would have done? Instead of forking over that $288,000 to the black-hole that is Washington , I would have spent it! I would have hired more employees who could have served even more customers and that would have generated substantial economic growth. My employees would have shared in that tax cut in the form of promotions and higher salaries! But you can forget that now.When you have a comatose man on the verge of death you don't defibrillate and shock his thumb thinking that will bring him back to life, do you? You defibrillate his heart! Business is at the heart of America and always has been. To restart it, you must stimulate it not kill it. Apparently the power brokers in Washington believe the poor of America are the essential drivers of the American economic engine. Nothing could be further from the truth and this is the type of change you do not want. So where am I going with all this?It's quite simple.

If any new taxes are levied on me or my company then my reaction will be swift and simple: I will fire all of you. You can then plead with the government to pay for your mortgage, your SUV and your child's future. Frankly, it won’t be my problem any more. I will close this company down, move to another country and retire. You see I'm done. I'm done with a country that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed and with it will go my citizenship. Why in the world should I stay? Is it patriotic to wait for the politicians and their myrmidons to take all the money I‘ve worked 28 years for? That would be insane!So if you lose your job it won't be at the hands of the economy; it will be at the hands of a political hurricane that has swept through this country, steamrolled the Constitution, and will have changed its landscape forever. If that happens, you can find me sitting on a beach somewhere south of here. I will be retired and having fun and I will have no employees to worry about.Good luck with that!

Signed,

The Boss

OKC officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle
By McClatchy-Tribune Information Services
Published: February 19, 2009

An Oklahoma City police officer wrongly pulled over a man last week and confiscated an anti-President Barack Obama sign the man had on his vehicle.
The officer misinterpreted the sign as threatening, said Capt. Steve McCool, of the Oklahoma City Police Department, and took the sign, which read "Abort Obama, not the unborn."
Chip Harrison said he was driving to work when a police car followed him for several miles and then signaled for him to pull over.
''I pulled over, knowing I hadn't done anything wrong," Harrison said in a recent phone interview.
When the officer asked Harrison if he knew why he had been pulled over, Harrison said he did not.
''They said, 'It's because of the sign in your window,'" Harrison said.
''It's not meant to be a threat, it's a statement about abortion," Harrison said.
He said he disagrees with the president's position on abortion.
''I asked the officer, 'Do you know what abort means?'" Harrison said. "He said, 'Yeah, it means to kill.' I said, 'No, it means to remove or terminate.'"
Harrison said his sign was to be interpreted as saying something like: Remove Obama from office, not unborn babies from the womb.
The officers confiscated Harrison's sign and gave him a slip of paper that stated he was part of an investigation.
Harrison said he later received a call from a person who said he was a lieutenant supervisor for the Internal Investigations Department and wanted to know his location and return his sign to him.
According to Harrison, the supervisor said the Secret Service had been contacted on the matter and had told them the sign was not a threat to the president.
Harrison was asked if he would like to file a complaint. He said he was not sure but would take the paperwork, just in case.
But his run-in with the law wasn't over yet.
''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said.
After talking to his attorney, Harrison went home where he met the Secret Service.
''When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."
Harrison said he invited the Secret Service agents into the house and they were "very cordial."
''We walked through the house and my wife and 2-year-old were in the house," Harrison said.
He said they interviewed him for about 30 minutes and then left, not finding any evidence Harrison was a threat to the president.
''I'm still in contact with a lawyer right now," Harrison said. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
Harrison said he feels his First Amendment rights were violated.
McCool said the officer who pulled over Harrison misinterpreted the sign.
''We had an officer that his interpretation of the sign was different than what was meant," McCool said. "You've got an officer who had a different thought on what the word 'abort' meant."
McCool said the sign basically meant Obama should be impeached and it was not a threat.
'(The officer) shouldn't have taken the sign," McCool said. "That was (Harrison's) First Amendment right to voice his concern."
McCool said although the sign should not have been confiscated, the situation was made right in the end.
''We always try to do the right thing and in the end we believe we did the right thing by returning the sign," McCool said

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN
By
Neal Boortz

The Dow at a 10-year low.
A tax cheat running the IRS
Another tax cheat as the Chief of Staff
A trillion-dollar plus federal deficit
Over one-half of voters relieved of any federal tax liability
Government mandated limits on executive compensation
Three failed attempts and still no Commerce Secretary
Tom Daschle rides his free limo into the sunset - after paying taxes he evaded.
The White House performance czar turns out to be a tax cheat also
Lobbyists hired to work for the Obama Administration
The census gets politicized
Double government spending in one year
The word "freedom" fades into obscurity
Increasing home loan mortgage rates across the board
Millions of Americans made dependent on government
Moving unionization-by-intimidation forward
Welfare checks become "tax cuts."
Illegal aliens free to work on taxpayer-funded "stimulus" projects
Welfare reform reversed, states ordered to increase welfare roles
Move to silence critical talk radio shows
Selling Senate seats
Obama books in religious sections of book stores
More government workers, not private sector jobs
A government bureaucracy to intrude on doctor/patient relationships
Stage set for medical services rationing
Annual welfare checks for middle income

नो what would I do to stimulate our economy? Well .. here would be some of my first steps:
Say something positive about the power of the free market system
Call for immediate passage of the FairTax
Lower the top tax rate to 20% while waiting for the FairTax to pass
Immediately eliminate capital gains taxes
Declare a tax amnesty to allow all American funds invested abroad to come to work in our economy with no tax consequences
