“Give Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death!”
This is what ‘national socialism’ looks like
When the Nazis began their push to gain control of government in Germany prior to WWII, their agenda was commonly referred to as ‘national socialism.’ The model was clearly fascist, yet fascism as defined by the Nazis had a definite socialistic foundation.
That model was quite simple and straightforward. Government would co-own and co-manage business along with large corporations. This government-corporate liaison forms the accepted definition of fascism–a form of government characterized by a state-corporate partnership in owning and operating business, with a centralized concentration of power in the form of a head of state who is endowed with the authority to exercise ultimate oversight.
This was the nature of Adolf Hitler’s government in Germany, the one that resulted in the suppression of human rights and the wholesale slaughter of 11 million human beings.
Barack Obama has forced the CEO of General Motors to resign.
“Oh, they’ll never do that! This is the United States of American, the greatest nation on the planet!”
Oh, really? What do you think is happening right now? The swift take over of banks, of private industry, of our LIVES! You can’t say you weren’t warned that it was coming. Many people, just like me, spoke out, over and over, yet did you listen? No, of course not. “That won’t happen here! It’s time for “hope and change”!” You got your change, alright. A country my father would never recognize, and a tyranny he and his 8 brothers fought against, has now become our legacy. Way to go asshats! You wanted change? You got it! But don’t expect me to sit back and take it! I’ll fight for my grandchildren’s future, with word, and blood, if need be. Will you?
And The Destruction Continues
Our Economic Freedom Has Been Sacrificed
Yesterday on Face the Nation, CBS’s Bob Schieffer asked President Barack Obama:
Mr. President, you’re scheduled to announce on Monday what you plan to do with the auto industry as they’re asking for more federal money. … You’ve told them they’re gonna have to cut back, present a different business plan. Our sources tell us that as far as the White House is concerned, they’re not there yet. Do they have to do more in order to get this money?
President Obama replied: “Yes. They’re not quite there yet. … We think we can have a successful U.S. auto industry. But it’s got to be one that’s realistically designed to weather this storm … And that’s gonna mean a set of sacrifices from all parties involved.” By the end of the day we had a better idea on how involved the Obama Administration was going to be in deciding who sacrificed what, learning on Sunday night that in return for more government aid, Obama had forced General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner to resign.
This adds a new and troubling dimension to Obama’s summoning of 13 chief executives of the nation’s largest financial institutions to the White House this past Friday. Asked about that meeting on Sunday, Obama replied:
I said to those folks, let me help you – help me help you. It’s very difficult for me as president to call on the American people to make sacrifices to help shore up the financial system if there’s no sense of mutual obligation and mutual help.
Translation: play ball with my government or it’s your head. The bankers got the message. The New York Times headline read: “Bankers Pledge Cooperation With Obama.”
Such is the sorry state of free enterprise in our country: the president can summon the heads of private companies to the White House and demand fealty to his public policy agenda. The common evil in all of this is the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Originally sold to the American people as an acutely targeted program to rid the financial sector of toxic mortgage assets, the Troubled Asset Relief Program quickly lost all coherence and eventually became a slush fund for White House political prerogatives.
It is far past time for the U.S. Congress to reign in an out of control executive branch and end the TARP program.
Now, why would Congress, run by the most power hungry weasels of our time, or of any time in our history, reign in their messiah? I have an idea….instead of forcing the heads of private industry to “resign”, how about Obama, and 90% of those jackasses on Capital Hill resign?
Another Needless Tragedy
This just breaks my heart as it raises my blood pressure.
Karl Ziebart died traveling to a place he loved – his church.
On Sunday, the 42-year-old Richfield man; his 9-year-old son, Luke; and a 12-year-old girl from another family were killed when the SUV in which they were riding was hit by a truck that slid across an icy road in Washington County, according to authorities and the man’s brother.
The girl’s name could not be confirmed late Sunday. All three were pronounced dead at the scene.
Ziebart’s 40-year-old wife, Denise; the Ziebarts’ two other children; and the 12-year-old girl’s 11-year-old brother suffered serious injuries and were taken to hospitals, according to the Washington County Sheriff’s Department.
Amber Ziebart, 14, and her 11-year-old brother, Zechariah, underwent surgery at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and were stable, said Karl Ziebart’s brother, Bernie.
Denise Ziebart, who was at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa, was not stable enough for surgery as of late Sunday, Bernie Ziebart said.
The condition of the other 11-year-old boy could not be confirmed.
Three men who were in the 1-ton flatbed truck were not injured. Their names had not been released by the Sheriff’s Department.
A horrible tragedy. I urge you to read the entire article to learn more about the victims. So, why is my blood pressure going up? Why am I just so freakin’ mad I could spit?
The truck’s driver and his two passengers – ages 30 and 31, both of Milwaukee – were detained on suspicion of being in the country illegally, according to the Sheriff’s Department. They are in custody at the Washington County Jail.
When, in the name of all that is holy, will people start enforcing the immigration laws? If the government would have gotten tough years ago, this family might still be intact.

Top 40 Reasons To Support Gun Control
1. Banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops need guns.
2. Washington DC’s low murder rate of 80.6 per 100,000 is due to strict gun control, and Arlington, VA’s high murder rate of 1.6 per 100,000 is due to the lack of gun control.
3. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics showing increasing murder rates after gun control are “just statistics.”
4. The Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons Ban, both of which went into effect in 1994, are responsible for the decrease in violent crime rates, which have been declining since 1991.
5. We must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time and anyone who would own a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.
6. The more helpless you are the safer you are from criminals.
7. An intruder will be incapacitated by tear gas or oven spray, but if shot with a .357 Magnum will get angry and kill you.
8. A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet.
9. When confronted by violent criminals, you should “put up no defense — give them what they want, or run” (Handgun Control Inc. Chairman Pete Shields, Guns Don’t Die – People Do, 1981, p. 125).
10. The New England Journal of Medicine is filled with expert advice about guns; just like Guns and Ammo has some excellent treatises on heart surgery.

Destroy From Within
In general, I don’t have a problem with Muslims. They are free to worship whichever god they choose….wherever they choose. I’d prefer it on the other side of the planet, or on a different planet altogether, but hey, that’s just me. Now, we have a POTUS who wants to push those who practice this religion of pieces on the American public.
“It was mostly under the radar,” Williams said. “We thought it would put (the president) in a precarious position. We didn’t know how closely he wanted to appear to be working with the Muslim American community.”
Under the radar? Well, what happened to all that transparency we heard about on the campaign trail? Were those lies too? I mean, seriously, we’ve had bills pushed through Congress, and signed into law, that NO ONE ever even read. Transparency?
In 1991, Mohamed Akram wrote a memo for the leadership of the Muslim Brotherhood that explained its work in America as “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”
Well, now. isn’t that interesting? The President of the United States is aiding in a Muslim takeover.
Human Achievement Hour
Last night, the Mr and I, along with quite a few others, celebrated Human Achievement Hour. While the moonbats of the world turned off their lights, and played on their computers, spouting how much more they care than others (I smell hypocrisy), we turned on every single light in the house, plus the numerous outdoor lights as well. I also did a load of laundry in my handy dandy washing machine, while another load dried in my handy dandy electric dryer.
More here.
How did you celebrate? Did you sit in the dark, like our ancestors, or did you celebrate man’s achievements?
This Would Be Funny….
……if it weren’t so pathetically, and disgustingly, true.
Due to the increased demand of our zeroes, they are in short supply. Please conserve your zeroes. The Federal government needs all we can get. Secretary Geithner says if we can link enough zeroes together we can end our financial crisis. There aren’t enough zeroes to form a long enough link.
Please send your extra zeroes to:

He will distribute them where needed.

Antiwar protesters can’t complain now that President Obama is here. Or can they? Their dream man is in the White House. He does YouTube diplomacy to make nice with the Middle East. He’s larger than life. He’s approved a White House kitchen garden.
So shut up already, peaceniks. Go rearrange your sock drawer or ready your begonias for Earth Day.
People Ask Why?

My old grandpa said to me son, ‘there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an a… whoopin’. I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take an a… whoopin’.

“Islamist Dickhead”
All homosexuals should be stoned to death, says Muslim preacher of hate
All homosexuals should face stoning to death, a Muslim preacher of hate declared yesterday.
Anjem Choudary, the firebrand cleric who wants to see Britain ruled by Sharia law, said such a regime was the only way to fix the country’s ills.
Under it, adulterers and homosexuals would be killed by stoning. Asked if that would include anybody – even a Cabinet minister such as Business Secretary Lord Mandelson – Choudary responded with an astonishing diatribe.
He said: ‘If a man likes another man, it can happen, but if you go on to fulfil your desire, if it is proved, then there is a punishment to follow. You don’t stone to death unless there are four eyewitnesses. It is a very stringent procedure.
‘There are some people who are attracted to donkeys but that does not mean it is right.’
‘MAKE EVERY WOMAN WEAR A BURKHA’
A MUSLIM hate preacher who demanded that all British women be forced to wear burkhas faced a storm of outrage last night.
Firebrand Anjem Choudary said he wanted every woman to be covered by a full-length cloak in his vision of Britain under Sharia law.
The lawyer, who praised the Mumbai terror attacks, also said he wanted to see the “flag of Allah” flying over Downing Street, adulterers stoned to death and drunks whipped.
Choudary, 41, sparked fury this week when he branded British soldiers “cowards” and was behind a sickening anti-war protest against troops who were arriving home from Iraq to a heroic welcome.
I know there are many who think I am all for murdering some people, but that’s far from the truth. I do not advocate for harming another human being (unless they really deserve it…I could name a few, but I’ll refrain). What I believe is that there is right and wrong. Call a sin a sin, and stop kowtowing to the sinner. Those who break God’s laws will be punished in the most severe manner….beyond anything I could ever think up.
Now, as for the women wearing burkas? I don’t bloody well think so! The Bible tells women to dress modestly, it does NOT say anything about covering up, from head to toe, in a potato sack. I’ll be the first to admit that the way some females dress these days, you’d think they would be more at home standing on a street corner, waiting for the next John. Not exactly proper apparel for a young lady with self respect. But if that is the way they want to dress, far be it from me to point out that looking trashy gives people the impression that you ARE trashy.
Nope, this asshat in GB should be run out on a rail…dumped in the middle of a desert filled with fire ants and scorpions. With him, should be every other “Islamist dickhead” that wants to force the rules of the Religion of Pieces on a civilized world.
