“Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.” ~ Mark Twain

It was an impossible task trying to choose which quote I would use to open this post, so you must suffer through both.

“So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.” ~ George Orwell

“Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom.” ~ Clifford Stoll

During the current Congress (113th), Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) intends to present legislation that is intended to permit “the federal government [to] monitor radio, television and Internet speech for ‘hate,’ or material allegedly determined to be advocating or encouraging ‘violent acts…’” (examiner.com, 29 April 2014) This proposed bill is entitled the “Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014”.

Okay, so let’s take an educated guess as to what Harry Greed, the Ego in Chief, Senator Markey or any other defender of the oppressed masses might consider hate speech or words/material that would encourage people to go out and commit violent acts. My list would contain:

  • Anything the Tea Party writes, broadcasts or utters at rallies;
  • Anything Fox News broadcasts;
  • Any reports posted by Breitbart.com, The Daily Caller or other publications with a right-leaning editorial policy;
  • My blog;
  • The pages I “like” on Facebook (but Fuckerberg is already taking care of them by making their online lives miserable);
  • If we use the DHS model of Domestic Terrorism we would have to include Military Veterans, Christian Organizations, Constitutional Originalists, yada, yada, yada…;
  • Anything said by Cliven Bundy, his family, friends and supporters;
  • Anyone who believes that legal immigration is fine and illegally entering our country for whatever reason is not (sorry, Jeb, but I’m not buying the “love” thing);
  • Anyone who disagrees with Barry, or believes he and Eric Holder need to resign;
  • Anyone who sees that it is obvious that Harry Greed’s retirement is way overdue and he is just a doddering old fool;
  • Anyone who knows what this country was, sees the damage that has been done by the current Administration and chokes up during the “Star Spangled Banner” not due to pride, but a sense of loss felt deeply in our souls – then expresses their opinion in public.

Here is my list of people and things that might incite others to commit violent acts or who engage in hate speech with permission of His Majesty, The Anointed One:

  • Al Sharpton;
  • Barack Obama;
  • Al Sharpton;
  • Jesse Jackson;
  • Moochele Obama
  • Signs advertising “Gun Free Zones”;
  • Gun Control Advocates;
  • ELF;
  • Occupy Wall Street;
  • Al Sharpton;
  • Harry Greed;
  • Congressman Grayson (D-FL);
  • BLM;
  • And, just in case you missed it – Al Sharpton.

Markey’s proposal does not spell out the punishment that should be meted out to those who engage in such egregious activities, but I am pretty sure it will have something to do with losing your “communication privileges” either for a specified time or for life.

According to any articles I have read, he only has the support of 1% of those in the Senate, but this does not mean that Barry, with pen and phone in hand, wouldn’t push this through via Executive Order and hand control of it to the NSA. Although, Senator Markey had indicated at one point that a new Bureau should be created to do the monitoring. Yeah, right. Because we can really afford that! However, this kind of thought control is very appealing to Barry and I would not put it past him to institute the Barack Hussein Obama Bureau of Shut Up and Do as I Say.

The “Hate Crime Reporting Act of 2014” will be given life – just like Shelley’s Frankenstein. Of that I am certain. The question is when and how.

Just Wild About Harry?

business harry

Looks like Senator Harry Reid will need to go to yoga classes.  He’s going to have to learn the “Bend over, put your head between your legs and KISS YOUR ASS GOOD-BYE!” position pretty damned quick.

Even though the Anointed One accepted Harry’s apology (purely for the sake of party unity, I’m sure), I don’t think the voters in Nevada will be so kind.  In their book Game Change Unabridged, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin reported the following:

Reid “was wowed by Obama’s oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama — a ‘light-skinned’ African American ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one,’ as he said privately.

Isn’t it funny how Obama’s typical “rush to judgment” tendencies were on vacation when that little faux pax by Reid was made public, but he instantly came to the conclusion that Cambridge Police “acted stupidly”.  Seems to me that Harry Reid’s comments were racist, period.  No investigation necessary.  Talk about “acting stupidly”.

Even my “favorite” little Liberal, Janeane Garofalo, has been remarkably quiet.  I fully expected to see her plastered all over the news crying foul against Harry.  After all, she has an uncanny ability to sniff out racism in places it doesn’t exist.  Here’s a no brainer, sweetie.  What?  No snarky Harry Reid jokes?

Racial remarks seem to be running rampant in the Democrat’s upper echelon.  According to Heilemann and Halperin, the ever-entertaining former President Hillary’s Husband is guilty:

[A]s Hillary bungled Caroline, Bill’s handling of Ted was even worse. The day after Iowa, he phoned Kennedy and pressed for an endorsement, making the case for his wife. But Bill then went on, belittling Obama in a manner that deeply offended Kennedy. Recounting the conversation later to a friend, Teddy fumed that Clinton had said, A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.

Hmmm, Billy.  Would he have been doing that from above or below the desk? 😉

Since Teddy is dead (oh, and by the way, so is Michael Jackson…in case you hadn’t heard…yup…still dead…), there is really no way to confirm whether or not these comments were actually made.  I tend to believe it, though, since they were spot-on about Harry.

I know my Liberal friends (and family) will be quick to point out that this book also contains stories about Cindy McCain,  Sarah Palin and others in the Republican party.  I can’t wait to read those myself.  However, my focus is on the two-faced attitude in Washington today.  The Dems have ripped Michael Steele for being an “Uncle Tom”, called Tea Party Protestors “redneck racists”, and taken every opportunity to attack any anti-Anointed One comment as racially motivated.  You see, we can’t just disagree with Obama because his policies are ridiculous.  There has to be some sort of ulterior motive.  We can’t possibly oppose his ideology and want an intellectual debate about the issues.  We must have a racial agenda (and white sheets hanging in our closets, if you listen to Janeane).

Two-faced party-line politics such as this do qualify as one of the Anointed One’s “teachable moments”.  I have learned that, more than ever before, we need to vote them all (Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike) out of office and start with a clean slate.

2009 “Bite Me” Awards

Welcome to the Inaugural Bite Me Awards show.  The Bite Me was conceived in my warped little mind by a majority of my alternate personalities during a marathon game of Beer Pong.  Obviously, I lost.  The award reflects my views on the major events that occurred during 2009.   So, if you don’t agree with my selection of Bite Me recipients, BITE ME 😉

  • The first Bite Me goes to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.   She hemmed and hawed when asked if she had reviewed both the Terror Watch List and No-Fly List.  Well, of course she didn’t have time to perform this “minor” task.  Secretary Napolitano was too busy compiling a list of her own.  This one included returning Veterans, members of certain religious organizations, members of the VFW and American Legion, members of the NRA and people affiliated with several grass-roots organizations throughout the United States.  It is entitled the “Domestic Terror Watch list”.  Janet – BITE ME!!!
  • Speaker Nancy Pelosi – Poor thing.  She is obviously operating under the delusion that she is the be-all to end all in the world of…well, in the World PERIOD.  Speaker Pelosi gets a special Bite Me for equating Tea Party protestors to the hateful, anti-gay murderer of Harvey Milk in the 1970’s.
  • Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has earned an award for this enlightened statement made in reference to the special deals given to certain Senators in order to pass the Health Care Reform bill – “I don’t know if there is a senator that doesn’t have something in this bill that was important to them.  And if they don’t have something in it important to them, then it doesn’t speak well of them.”  Really?  I think this ignorance deserves a very special award for going above and beyond the normal degree of elitist bullshit – the coveted “Constitution?  We don’t need no stinkin’ Constitution!” Award.

Harry, Harry, Harry…read Article I, Section 8, ¶1.  It appears to me that Congress is in clear violation of Constitutional Law.  Just to make it easy on you, I will quote the referenced section:

“The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises SHALL BE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES:…”

In other words, darlin’, by making some states exempt from paying certain taxes, etc., you have created an atmosphere of inequity and, thus, are in violation of the law as set forth in the Constitution on September 17, 1787.  (Not to mention that little Tenth Amendment thingy.)  Hey, but what do I know?  I’m just a girl.

  • Attorney General Eric Holder gets a Big Apple style “YO!  Bite Me!”  for transferring the terror trials from military to civilian jurisdiction; a) placing undue burdens on the economies of both New York City and the nation as a whole; b) putting NYC residents, 9/11 Victims’ Families, first responders and, again, the entire country through the emotional turmoil of watching scum like KSM and his buddies spew their hatred in open court; and c) giving terrorists the opportunity to learn even more about our security methods and interrogation techniques.  I believe that you and your boss should be held personally liable if it is proven that any future attacks against American Citizens on American Soil were made possible as a direct result of knowledge obtained by terrorists via court transcripts from these trials once they have taken place.
  • A “Mini Bite Me” goes to both NYC Police Commissioner Ray Kelly (whom I used to have a great respect for) and NYC Mayor Bloomberg for thinking the trials are a good idea.
  • No Bite Me Awards show would be complete without a Redneck, Racist, Gun Owning, Sea Kitten Hatin’, Tea Party Astro-Turfer Bite Me for my favorite Diva of Dementia – Janeane Garofalo!  Unfortunately, Ms. Garofalo could not be here to accept her award in person as she is currently undergoing treatment for depression after learning that both Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin made the New York Times Bestseller List.  We have arranged for a can of Dolphin-safe Tuna to accept this award on her behalf.  (Well, at least there’s a chance the Tuna might say something funny.)

Well, folks, we have come to the part of the evening you have all been waiting for.  In a moment we will award the most prestigious prize to the individual most deserving of our love and respect…according to Him, anyway.  This year’s recipient has had a lifetime of n0n-achievement that has spanned the globe – from the Menteng region of Jakarta to the State of Hawaii he has avoided, evaded, organized, lectured, campaigned and fundraised his way into the highest office in the land. Some of you know him as Barry, Bam, The One or Rock.  Here he is, folks…President Barack Hussein (Soetoro?) Obama II!!!!!!!  Excuse me…What?…Really?  Okay, okay…

Sorry, folks.  It seems the Anointed One will not be here tonight.  As with other important events, he has chosen to play golf instead of accepting responsibility.  Never fear!  We have done well without him so far.  I’m sure we can do without him now and in the future.

I will now present the Bite My Tattooed Ass Award to He Who Walks on Water in absentia.  Barack was chosen for this honor in part because of moments such as:

  • The Beer Summit debacle – His comments 6 days after this incident were classic:
    • “I don’t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts,…” (He should have shut up at that point, but NO!) “…what role race played in that [Gates case].  But I think it is fair to say, number one, any of us would be pretty angry; number two, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, number three, what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.  That’s just a fact.”  (Jeepers, Wally.  Seems like the Beav was just a tad out of control there, huh?)
    • Apology Tours I, II and (who could forget Copenhagen) III.  Not to mention the pre-election, “I’m running for leader of the World” Campaign Apology-in-Advance Tour.
    • How ‘bout those heart-wrenching “get me some ICY HOT™ my back hurts” moments when our beloved President bowed before (oops, meant to say “ inspected the shoes of”) two foreign leaders.
    • Last, but certainly not least, the “Do I Really have to interrupt my freakin’ golf game for THIS!?!?” comments made during his oh-so-greatly-deserved vacation in Hawaii in which the Anointed One referred to the Underwear Bomber (gotta love the warm, fuzzy nick names the press gives to terrorists bent on the destruction of our society) as an “isolated extremist”.  Hmmm…that’s funny.  Nidal Hasan was also an “isolated extremist”.  But, didn’t they both communicate with the same Imam?  Gee, babe, they don’t seem so isolated to me.  I’m just sayin’…

That concludes our awards show this evening.  Thank you all for taking the time to be here with me to celebrate the accomplishments of all of our honorees.

I would like to wish each and every one of you (even Ben 🙂 ) a wonderful, safe and Happy New Year’s Eve.  My heart is with our brave men and women serving our nation overseas and at home.

Sunday “Funnies”?

When is enough too much?  I think I’ve reached that point this morning.

  1. If you thought the “Battle Hymn of the Obamanation” crossed the line, click on this link – http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/25/new-jersey-school-district-stranger-national-spotlight/. Just make sure you have some Excedrin™ handy.
  2. Obama has shelved General McChrystal’s request for more troops in Afghanistan.  Excuse me?  My nephew is in Afghanistan.  Barack, you appointed the General to advise you on matters such as troop strength, enemy activities, etc.   Why?  So you can listen to your political homies and hang our troops out to dry.  As a family member of one of those troops, if I ever hear you make another speech about how proud you are of the men and women serving our country in combat, I think I’ll puke.  Don’t even open your mouth because you are so full of shit your breath stinks!  (I apologize for the language, but I am extremely angry about this.)
  3. Ahmadinejad fired more test missiles yesterday.  Is the need for a defensive missile shield becoming clear to you now?  Some things can’t be resolved over a burger and a beer, darlin’.
  4. Please, please, PLEASE stop campaigning!  Have you ever noticed that the only other political figures who constantly feel the need to “rally” their citizens the way you do are the psychotic dictators?  It is embarrassing.  Shut up and start listening to the People.  My Gramma used to say “You learn much more when your mouth is closed.
  5. When is the next Tea Party in Colorado?  I’m there!!!

A Day in the Life of Rip van Winkel

I am really, really, really confused.  I took a nap yesterday and when I woke up I was in the “Socialist States of America”!  WTF?!?!

  • The Democrats don’t see a need for publishing the Revised, Revised, Revised Health Care Reform bill.  Did I hear that correctly?  Even 72 hours prior to a vote?  Doesn’t matter which side of this issue you are on.  You have to admit that this is fundamentally wrong.
  • AARP – oh, boy…I just came across their September 2009 issue of AARP Bulletin. The main story entitled “The Hype, The Lies, THE FACTS cites FactCheck.org and a Harvard (you know, the Alma Mater of Barack Obama) Professor as two of their primary sources of “THE FACTS”.  Just to give you an idea of the bent of this article, here are some excerpts:
    • “…Could the rumor mongering affect the outcome?  Recent violent interruptions at lawmakers’ town hall meetings suggest it might…”

    Violent interruptions?  Oh, yeah…the tear gas, dogs, police batons…I remember that.  NOT!!!!!!

    • “…Q. Will the government take over health care so we end up with socialized medicine?  No.  Neither the president nor the congressional committees have suggested anything remotely resembling government takeover of health care…”

    Okay, okay…here’s the really funny part.

    • “…Obama has specifically rejected the idea of a ‘single payer’ system, like Canada’s, in which the government insures all citizens…”

    Oh Goddess!  That’s rich!

    • “…Q. Will the government ration care?  No.  But the specter of ‘rationing’ is the battle cry of reform opponents…”

    What AARP fails to mention is that, although it may not be the intent of this Administration to ration care, the cost of a program as large as this may force their hand.  We may not see it in our lifetime, but our children may be faced with it down the road.

  • Why is AARP permitted to issue an article such as this (filled with opinion and interpretation, as well as some facts), yet Humana has been told to shut up?  Isn’t AARP in effect an insurance company?  They advertise AARP Health Care Options with a disclaimer that they are not the insurer.  However, they are paid a fee by United HealthCare Insurance Company for the use of their trademark and other services.  Same difference as far as I am concerned.  When will they be told to shut up?
  • I want to know why it is sooo important to pass some form of Health Care Reform Bill prior to the Columbus Day recess.  What is Congress afraid of?  Oooh, Oooh!!!  Pick me!  Pick me!  I know the answer!  Because their sorry butts will most likely be out of office come 2010!!!!! They want their names on this piece of crap so their grandchildren know who screwed up America.

What I Learned from Barack Hussein Obama

After watching some of the Obama-thon on MSM channels, this is what I learned from him:

1.  The dictionary is open to interpretation.  Definitions are subjective.  Take the word “tax”, for instance.  Merriam-Webster online defines the word as:

  • Main Entry: 2tax
  • Function: noun
  • Usage: often attributive
  • Date: 14th century

1 a : a charge usually of money imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes b : a sum levied on members of an organization to defray expenses
2 : a heavy demand

Obama has redefined the word to suit his own agenda.  What a freakin’ surprise.  So, the money we will be forced to pay to cover his health care plan (that the majority of us don’t want) is not actually a tax.  Not sure what it is, but it is definitely not a tax.

2.  Acorn no longer interests him.  Hmmm.  Wasn’t even aware of the controversy until very recently?  Isn’t that reassuring.  One of the main reasons he got elected was his “support” from Acorn.  Oh, and all of the Federal funds they have been receiving over the years is news to him as well?  Really?  Gee, Barack, much of this funding was approved when you were a Senator.  You know, those few months between being a Community Organizer and a Presidential candidate?

3.  Our National Security is screwed.  Side note to the CIA agents who had the testicular fortitude to face down the bastards responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 innocent people – I will be forever grateful that you did whatever you had to in order to extract vital information from the scum at Gitmo.   You should be considered heroes, not criminals.  I am sorry that the Government has suffered collective early-onset Alzheimer’s and cannot remember what we went through as a Nation on and after 9/11.  I do.  Thank you.

4.  Our National Security is screwed – Part Deux (figured I better practice my French cuz we are slowly becoming sooo much like them).  Missile defense systems are there for, well, DEFENSE.  You know, kinda like those helmets and knee pads your girls wear when riding their bicycles, Barack.  Preventive measures.  I will repeat a statement I have made several times in the past.  We have psychotic dictators “running with scissors” throughout the world.  This is not the time to eliminate a defensive shield.

5.  It is much easier to turn a deaf ear to those who are legitimately concerned about the future of our Nation than it is to talk to them in a reasonable, adult manner.  It is much simpler to make light of those concerns and belittle someone for having an opposing point-of-view.  It is less stressful to step over the wounded party than it is to stop and heal their wounds.

Mr. Obama, I do not agree with you.  I do not like the way you deal with the issues that concern us both individually and as a Nation.  This does not make me a stupid person.  What you need to realize is that you are OUR President.  Not only for Liberals or Acorn or Democrats – ALL OF US.  And, when you dismiss the thoughts and concerns of a large part of this Nation, you show disrespect to the ENTIRE NATION.

Me, ANGRY?!?! Nah…

They're watching you...

They're watching you...

Since I will more than likely be reported to the new “Disinformation Czar” (not her official title), I may as well go balls to the wall and VOICE MY OPINION AS IS MY RIGHT UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  I am not inciting a riot.  I am not calling fellow Citizens to commit treasonous acts against our government.  I am, however, going to make comparisons that I feel are frightening.

Our government allows racist, ignorant people like Jeannine Garafalo to spew hate and “disinformation” on public television, but I have heard nothing from Barbara Boxer about the expensive shirt Garafalo was wearing when she spoke.

Our government has made blanket accusations against American Citizens without giving anyone the opportunity to affirm or deny those accusations simply because we disagree with their Health Care proposal.  I’m sorry, but don’t you think that an “Organized Mob” would at least have the sense to print professional signs and wear T-shirts identifying the cause they represent.  Hmmm, like ACORN does?!?!

In 1935 Germany, a radical nut-job began his “Social Reforms” in much the same way as the government is doing today in The United States of America.  To his credit (hear me out before you yell) he did get the country out of a severe recession.  But at what cost?  FREEDOM.

In our very own country we put United States Citizens in concentration camps (oh, I’m sorry, Interment Facilities) because they “had Asian features”.  Barbara Boxer is singling out people as part of an organized, nation-wide mob because they are “well-dressed”.  She said this with a straight face.  Uhm, Babs, how much did you pay for the dye job and hair cut?  How ’bout the outfit you were wearing?  The clips I saw of the Evil Protesters looked like an ad for WalMart to me!  Gee, I didn’t know I was one of the “fashion elite”!  Look out you poor, innocent Liberals…I’m wearin’ my Wranglers and a Dale, Jr. T-shirt today!  I might be dangerous!

America, this is wrong.  We were able to fight the proposal to restrict free speech on radio and television.  Our voices were heard when Barack stuck his nose in the Cambridge Police v Professor Gates issue.  Don’t let this “1984” Truth Police tactic shut you up.  Keep talking.  Keep writing.  And, most important of all, keep remembering that The Constitution is still the only thing we can and will be governed by.

A Rose by Any Other Name…

“A couple of gun-toting redneck racists promoted violence in New York City last evening…”  Not really, but that is what Jeannine Garafolo and other closed-minded people would have loved to be able to report.  I’m sure she will find a way to scew things in her favor.  Like, maybe someone sprained their ankle stepping off a curb incorrectly – well it has to be that he/she was pushed!!!  Or, paper cuts happened because protesters were holding up signs from non-recycled posterboard.  Heathens!

From the news clips that I saw, it was a peaceful protest.  Is it just too much for the Uber-Liberal Garafalo to admit that, maybe…just maybe, people from other ideological mindsets are really not booger-eating morons?!?!  (Sorry, couldn’t resist)  Oh, wait, I get it…If the Anti-Tax protesters had climbed trees and pee’d in diapers for 30 days then that would be okay.  It’s the whole “assembling without violence or Depends” thing that she can’t get her head around.

No matter what she (and others like her) wish to call it, those people who gathered in NYC last night had every right to be there.  A peaceful protest by any other name…
