Re: The (Ig)noble "Peace" (Sur)prize.........

Sorry to be the last (and late) to post a thought or
two about the debacle of last Friday, but I've got
to say something about the travesty of the awarding
of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I rather imagine that Nobel, himself, is trying to
return to ask those who are misusing his name and
intentions. It's difficult to think that the inventor of
dynamite, among other explosives, expected to
have such an earth-shaking event that dishonors
his name.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Maybe we don't
want to know, as so much has been written and said
about the political and economical implications of
choosing who they did.
WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING? Who knows, but
they caused hallucinations and dumbstruckness in
the most of the civilized world.
IS THIS A JOKE? When I first heard the announcement,
I was literally shocked. I'm thinking as many others,
"This can't be true." "On what basis?" "Where is there
'peace' today because of him?"
IF THE AWARD IS INTENDED TO HONOR ONE
WHO TALKS A LOT AND DOES VERY LITTLE, then
I understand. If anything, the words of the awardee
are causing strife and fear that hadn't existed before
his speeches and apologies for America! Peace? Huh.
THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HAS LOST ITS
PRESTIGE AND LUSTER! Pity those who will
follow in getting this now-questionable honor! How
can this man possibly measure up to those great
men and women who have, indeed, succeeded in
the cause and quest for world peace?
In "Washington Insider" by Ronald Kessler, found
at http://www.neswmax.com/, numerous sources are
quoted, not the least of which is Peggy Noonan in
a Wall Street Journal piece: "This is an award for
not being George Bush." THINK ABOUT IT!
All of the bashing that "Barry" and his comrades
have done about the former President, and they
have yet to get dust on their shoes for anything
near George W.'s accomplishments!
Mr. Bush toppled Sadam Hussein, who had killed
300,000 people, tortured numerous thousands,
and dominated 50 million in his country.
Hussein had electric prods attached to genitals,
gave acid baths, drilled holes in ankles and skulls,
put naked people into refrigerators for days,
cut off tongues and ears, and forced Iraqi men to
watch forced rapes of their wives and sisters.
THAT ALONE QUALIFIES GEORGE W. FOR
RECOGNITION!!
Add to this the fact that Afghan women can now
attend school, don't have to be accompanied in
public by a man, and are allowed to hold jobs,
and Mr. Bush is a "shoe-in"!!
THERE'S MORE! Because of the $15 BILLION
sent to Africa to fight AIDS, deaths are down
dramatically, and Bush's approval rating in that
continent is at 80 percent or higher!
WHAT IS "BARRY'S" APPROVAL RATE ANYWHERE?
Because of President George W. Bush's quick and
determined action, the world, especially the U.S.A. is
safer than before 9/11! YOU'D BETTER BE
THANKFUL THAT WE ARE STILL FREE AND
SAFER!
Were there other candidates more qualified than
"Barry"? YES! Dozens of them. WHAT WAS THE
COMMITTEE THINKING/ WHAT ARE THEY
SMOKING?
I'm anxious to hear the "acceptance speech" - it's
got to be a doosy (sic)!
P.S. - I didn't hear - did "Barry" fly over to talk
to the committee before they made their choice?
HA-HA! "Tambourines and elephants, grazing
in the grass, take a ride on a flying spoon......".

we pause for this message..........

For those of you who are my loyal readers,
I apologize for not "getting all over the
Nobel Peace Prize issue" before this, but I
have a good reason - I spent the weekend
at a youth retreat as one of the staff. You
can be sure that when I got the news at
work Friday morning that I was angry,
befuddled, and more than anxious to address
"the incident", knowing that I had to wait.
To the specialists tomorrow morning for the
results of the CT Scan of two weeks ago, then
to the lab (again) for more blood work, then
to work in the PM.
TUESDAY MORNING I WILL BE POSTING
MY ACCUMULATED THOUGHTS, MANY
OF THEM WRITTEN DOWN OVER THE
WEEKEND. I promise.
Jack Savin has some excellent things to say
about the matter at "TheDailyFishOnline".
He speaks fancier than I do - I'm just plain.
Huh? You'll see when you read him.
A lot more is being said at "Breitbart TV".com.
Check it out.
And there's always FoxNews and the other
"Right" websites. I'll post a list of them soon.
And...............of course, both conservs and libs
are talking, laughing, and scratching their heads
until they're bloody over the debacle!
Watch for Part Three of the current series to
be available on Wednesday. Thanks, Bill.

How To Convert A Liberal - Part Two

It's come to my attention that some who read
my comments and suggestions in Part One may
think that I offered up a "5-course meal", which
may be way too much for one sitting.
Actually, my intent was to give you appropriate
material that you can use at your discretion, and
any combination of "thinking" or "talking" points
when engaging a Liberal in conversation.
FIRST, let me behoove you to obtain a copy of
The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution,
and the ensuing Bill Of Rights and additional amend-
ments. (These are easily gotten by just typing in
their titles on your web browser and printing them
out from any of a number of sources.)
SECOND, read them over carefully, as I'm doing,
highlighting those special portions that will add fuel
to our fire, or give more ammo during our presen-
tations.
THIRD, be passionate but calm during your debates
or "calling out" processes. There's no need to be
argumentative, overly emotional, or to resort to
name-calling, there'll be enough of that from the
"other side". Besides, people "in/on the Right" don't
have to press their point(s) - the truth will prevail!
FOURTH, accusations and innuendoes are not
necessary, as the truth and facts will accuse alone.
FIFTH, offer quotes from those great men who
wrote and signed our country's establishment docu-
ments, hopefully some from their biographies or
other papers or speeches that they authored.
SIXTH, determine to ascertain their religious
background, philosophy, and lifestyle. Much can
be learned by knowing a person's religion or lack of,
especially the conscientiousness of their decisions.
SEVENTH, ask them what they hope to leave for
their children's and grandchildren's future, as far
as the United States of America, that is, if any-
thing is left for them to enjoy.
TELL YOUR LIBERAL FRIENDS THAT IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT THEM, IT'S ABOUT
ALL OF US!
Sorry to be brief, especially since I have enough
material for at least two more postings, but my
schedule has limited my creativity and availability.
Parts Three and Four next week. God bless your
efforts, and God bless America!

How To Convert A Liberal - Part One

I thought it rather bemusing that my dictionary,
the "American Heritage Dictionary - College Edition",
published by Houghton Mifflin Company, describes
a politically "conservative" person as "one who
favors traditional views and values" (such as our
nation's historical character), while a "liberal" is
said to be "one who promotes governmental power
for 'social progress' and civil liberties."
Now I agree that I'm not "the sharpest tack in the
pack", but there are a lot of inferences in that
latter statement, and a lot more definition to
fully describe what a modern-day "Liberal" really is.
Preferring to defer a more intricate description,
allow me please to simply offer some steps and
points of discussion that may more clearly
define what/who is a "Liberal", and how/why
they need to be "converted" in their thinking.
l. Ask them to tell you what the founding
documents of our country say.
2. Relate particular portions of The Declaration
Of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill Of
Rights and the ensuing Amendments to their
peculiar style of governing or politicking.
3. Explain to them, if they'll listen, how important
it is NOT to equivocate, prevaricate, & fabricate -
these are morally wrong! Remember the
Kennedy era's "mental reservations" theory?
4. Tell them that citizens want to make their own
decisions, not have government officials, whether
elected or appointed, to speak for them or tell
them what they must do!
5. Explain to them that selfishness and covetousness
is SIN!
6. Ask them how much they've read about our
Founding Fathers, and ask them to do so - SOON!
7. Ask them how they would fit in with the originators
of our nation and its documents.
8. Request a list of criterions that they follow in
determining what bills or laws should be written
and implemented. I'd really like to hear that
conversation, that is, if they will respond honestly.
9. While there has been some discussion as to
whether we are a "democracy" or a "republic",
both are forms of representative governments
that allow the voice of the populace to be the
rule or law of the land, not the ideas of the few
who ominously use their power and position to
do otherwise.
10. Ask a liberal just what their political philosophy
is, if they can describe it. You'll be surprised and
shocked.
11. Ask liberal policymakers who they are indebted
to, or are "in bed with", and if they don't have a
conscience that tells them that paybacks and
acting for political or financial gain are WRONG!
12. Encourage them to be open to an exchange of
ideas from their constituency, not just what they
think is the proper course of action.
13. Remind them that our country must be put
FIRST - IT'S NOT WRONG TO DO SO! - as it's
necessary that we remain strong to continue to be
a "beacon of hope" and "big brother" to other
peoples and nations who are struggling for survival
and identity.
14. NO ONE, whether conservative, liberal, or
otherwise, has the right to "police" peoples' minds
or thoughts; dictate peoples' words unless incendiary
or defamatory; tell upright citizens that they cannot
or may not defend their lives and property!
15. Liberals, based on their record, have a reputation
of being selfish, self-centered, and egotistical, all to
the point of not allowing guilt or sorrow or remorse
to be a part of their agendas or personas.
IN OTHER WORDS - TELL YOUR LIBERAL
FRIENDS THAT THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT THEM!!
IT'S ABOUT ALL OF US!!

Suggestions/Requests For Additional "Czars"

Someone in our government ("Hi!", Barry), seems to
think that he needs help doing his job, to the point
that he has illegally and unconstitutionally appointed
"czars" to do his dirty work, to act as his militia.
I've always been taught that czars are dictator-
like people who run peoples' lives. Who's paying
these people, with what funds, to whom are they
accountable, and just exactly what do they do to
help our country be better?
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?
Departing from my normal attempts at serious
commentary, suggestiveness, and derisiveness,
here are 32 (!) additional ideas for "czars" that
doubles the number of current such persons, and
may actually make living in the U.S.A. happier!!
l. Snack Food czar - to mandate that everyone
gets their fair share of Twinkies, HoHos, etc.
2. Cowboy Channel czar - to order a TV channel
dedicated to showing only "good quality" Westerns!
3. Racing czar - in charge of developing or using
current freeways exclusively for speeders.
4. NASCAR czar - their cars need to be more fuel
efficient, quieter, and more crash-proof.
5. Pro Sports czar - developing a league of just those
players who have committed crimes.
6. College Sports czar - to establish a more equitable
way to decide the football champion.
7. Green Lawn czar - (Van Jones need not apply)
mandating greening and mowing of lawns.
8. Floral czar - requiring that everyone have a
minimum number of flowers in their yards.
9. Weather czar - finding a way to improve the
temps year 'round, and basing forecasters' pay
on their accuracy, etc.
10. Travel czar - arranging for everyone to get
to visit a site of their choice every five years.
11. Wealth czar - oh, wait, we already have one
of these in the White House, no? NO! An
earnings "ceiling" and "basement" for all?!?
12. Pizza czar - having automatic pizza delivery
to every household once a week, and shutting
down the "bad pizza" makers.
13. Noise czar - setting a decibel limit on all car
stereo systems and neighborhood parties!
14. Sleep czar - having biological clocks reset
in those who don't get sufficient rest. Huh?
15. Reading czar - requiring that all citizens,
including "naturalized" persons, have at least
a 6th-grade reading proficiency, and that we
read at least one book a month!
16. Work czar - not letting anyone get "freebies"
without finding community service to perform.
17. Bloggers czar - teaching everyone who wants
to how to express their opinions to a vast audience.
18. Media czar - mandating that the liberal media,
especially ABC, CBS, and NBC give fair and unbiased
reports.
19. Sex czar - offering government-funded aids and
assistance to those who are under-loved.
20. Teeth czar - giving dental and orthodontic care
to everyone in need, and eliminating "bad smiles"!
21. Smile czar - fining those who refuse to smile at
least once an hour.
22. Bathing/Body Odor czar - placing foul-smelling
persons into specially-plumbed cells for showers.
23. Tattoo czar - requiring only "tasteful" tattoos
to be exposed - ugly ones placed only on butts!
24. Language czar - setting up night schools for
those who can't speak without foul language.
25. English czar - teaching our national language
to "visitors", and not requiring any others.
26. Clothes czar - advertising "acceptable" styles
clothing, intended to cover body parts.
27. Career czar - issuing brooms, shovels, sickles,
scythes, and needed materials to the "untrained"
and "unused" work force.
28. Death czar - devising inexpensive ways to lay
our loved ones to rest without depleting the
families' bank accounts or inheritances.
29. Postal czar - developing reusable stamps
or huskier postal workers, along with cheaper
vehicles and machinery to operate.
30. Immigration czar - putting electric fences and
land mines along our border to eliminate the
influx of unwanted persons.
31. Religion czar - deporting all those who believe
that their religion is "the only one", and requiring
the removal of any creeds that discriminate by
wishing the deaths of "other" faiths.
32. Chocolate czar - (wife, Cindy's suggestion) -
"good quality" chocolate mailed or delivered
at least once a week to all women.
WELL, there you have it, a departure from my
norm, to say the least, and mostly humorous (you
decide for yourself which may be "serious") ideas
to help alleviate the current tension in our nation,
and to create more "happiness for all"!! Ha-Ha?

Barry, Get Out Of the Kitchen Before It Gets "Hotter"!

Barry, may I call you Barry? After all, that is
one of the names you've gone by, isn't it? There
are many other names you're being called
these days, but I won't bother to mention them
here or now. Sound familiar?
Barry, you've really gotten yourself into it this
time, haven't you? It's not like editing the
"law review" or sitting in the Illinois Senate, is
it? You've dug quite a hole for yourself, not
bothering to pay attention or be in the U.S.
Senate long enough to know what national
and international politics and policies are all
about, haven't you?
Sorry. Shame. Just who was it that influenced
you into thinking that you were qualified to fill
the highest position in our land? Soros? William
Ayers? Ghadafi? Malcolm X? Frank? Farrakhan?
Wright? Blagojevich? Strange bedfellows all.
Just what do you owe them? What is it that
they'd like you to do? Just what you're doing?
What "vested interest" do each one of them
have in you succeeding and "US" failing?
We'd really like to know.
Now look what you've done. The whole country
is up in arms over your insistence that we
accept your socialistic healthcare reform plan.
Tsk, Tsk! How dumb do you really think we are?
Then, you claim now to have "saved" or developed
1 million jobs with your stimulus plan and our
money? Really? Where? Why isn't the GAO or
the Chamber of Commerce or any other agency
verifying your assertions? I have yet to talk
to anyone whose life is better or who has a
new job because of your actions. Hmmmmm.
Then you said you were saving the financial
industry by "bailouts", all the while curtailing
abuses, particularly those of the executives.
Guess what? They didn't stop. Huh!?
Demeaning our country's values held dear
since our inception, trying to place your
brand of "religious philosophy" into our
lifelong values, ethics, and beliefs.
Decrying our nation's "failures" and weaknesses
to peoples and leaders of other tribes and
governments. What's that about? Not that we
feel that we're sinless or anything like that, but
we have taken the welfare of the world to
heart, and have given and given to help others
who were in need from famine, drought, civil
insurrection, natural disasters, blights and
plagues, and attacks from the outside of their
borders. WHERE have we failed?
And what about those 32 "czars" that you
appointed - UNCONSTITUTIONALLY AND
UNCONSCIONABLY - who's paying them?
How much? Why? Methinks it because you
cannot do your job, or because you want to
continue "jaunting" and vacationing around the
globe with our money! And the NYC "date"?
Your latest "disapproval rating" is 55% or more!
Guess what? We know what you're up to,
and we don't like it. We'd really like for you
to face the truth, confess your inabilities and
insufficiencies and inefficiencies, and RESIGN!
Seriously, there's no shame in resigning - in fact,
it would be the sane and manly thing to do!
Seriously, while there is a new hue and cry afoot
to have you impeached, it would just be better
that you accept reality and STEP DOWN!
NO OTHER PRESIDENT has ever caused so
much furor, divisiveness, dissent, distress,
worry, concern, fear, and unsettledness!
NO OTHER PRESIDENT has ever had the
mainstream of our citizens mobilize into the
flood of disagreement and dissatisfaction that
you have done.
NO OTHER PRESIDENT has faced the daunting
task of leading the greatest nation on earth,
the leader of the free world, with the lack of
awareness and conscience and abilities that you
have done!
NO OTHER PRESIDENT has come close to
totally reversing the established cores of our
character.
NO OTHER PRESIDENT has taken undue
advantage of his position and propagated the
antitheses of our founding fathers' intentions.
How can you continue? Save yourself from
having the most ignominious tenure in the
White House by gracefully and graciously
BOWING OUT!
You'll gain respect and gratitude from all of us
if you'll just admit that you cannot properly
handle the job, and SUBMIT YOUR RESIGNATION!
Are you man enough to do so?
Are you sane enough to do so?
Are you conscientious enough to do so?
Are you humble enough to do so?
I PRAY THAT YOU ARE.
SAVE YOURSELF AND US!
The ever-increasing discontent and upset
that is present in the populace can only
continue if you insist on having your way!
AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE ANGRY!!
Be a sport and quit - imagine the release
of pressure and stress that you and your
family will enjoy! THINK OF OTHERS!
Novel concept, hey?
FROM FELLOW PATRIOTS TO YOU,
BARRY - "THANKS, BUT NO THANKS!"

Who Is Eric Holder, And Why Is He Jeopardizing America's Security?

I'M ANGRY! You, too? It's no wonder, what
with "czars" and questionable appointments by
the administration that threaten our nation's
greatness and SECURITY!!
Who is Eric Holder, and why does he think he has
any authority or right to even think about "investigating"
the actions of the CIA and the recent Bush administration's
handling of post-9/11 actions?
First of all, despite his educational background and
various positions in and out of government, Holder
has a questionable history of involvements and
decisions.
FOR EXAMPLE: (1) his involvement with Bill
Clinton's pardon of fugitive and Democratic contributor
Marc Rich; (2) his recommendation of clemency to
the members of the Boricua Popular Army who had
stolen MILLION$ of dollars in the 1983 Wells Fargo
robbery, despite their refusal to disclose the location
of Victor Manuel Gerena, their leader, who was on
the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted List", or the whereabouts
of the loot; (3) he joined with Janet Reno in opposing
the overturn of the Washington, D.C. ban on handguns
in the 2008 "D.C. vs. Heller" case; (4) he favors the
closing of Guantanamo Bay and the "dispersion" (my
word) of its inmates; (5) he has criticized waterboarding
as "torture"; (6) he called America a "nation of cowards"
about racial issues (2/18/09); and (7) memos from
the recent Bush administration that okayed "enhanced
interrogation techniques" he is responsible for
releasing! IS THAT NOT ENOUGH?
Now, with all the pompousity and arrogance of the
administration for whom he works, HE PROPOSES
TO "CRIMINALIZE" THOSE PATRIOTS WHO
WENT INTO IMMEDIATE ACTION AFTER THE
TERRORIST ATTACKS OF 9/11, AND WHO SAVED
OUR GREAT NATION FROM FURTHER MURDEROUS
PLOTS AND DESTRUCTION!!
What does Holder hope to accomplish or prove?
Is this a political move to demonize the former leaders
of our government and to make the current people in
power seem "lily-white"?
Does Holder/Obama hava a vendetta against those
who are trying to hold them in check with their
numerous attempts to "power grab"?
Is this a form of intimidation that is intended to
keep true and concerned Americans, especially
members of the media and the law-enforcement
agencies of our Federal Government fearful of
"crossing" the current "movement"?
Does he not care that names, techniques, and
invaluable information will be compromised to the
BENEFIT OF OUR ENEMIES?
Is Holder's sense of patriotism and national pride
lacking to the point that he intends to make
CRIMINALS OF THOSE WHO HAVE SAVED HIS
AND OUR NECKS?
Does he not see that by compromising the intelligence
community that we will lose, not only the expert and
dedicated personnel currently "covering our behinds",
but that future enlistees may hesitate putting
themselves "in harm's way" by becoming subject to
his and others' scrutiny and condemnation?!
MR. HOLDER - BACK OFF! CONSIDER THE
SHORT AND LONG TERM RAMIFICATIONS OF
YOUR PROPOSED ACTIONS!
What was done was in the best and long-term
interests of our nation's life and longevity - we do
a disservice to those who have given their lives
on both foreign and home soils to protect our
freedoms and existence if we demean those who
have worked so diligently to protect us.
