Questions
Ben Stein asks some VERY compelling questions:
Why are there so many songs about what’s wrong with this glorious America and NO songs about Stalin’s murder of fifty million innocent people? Why are there no songs about the intentional starvation of the Ukraine and its people by the commissars, mass murder against the most beautiful people on the planet there in the Ukraine?
Why were there so many songs against the U.S. attempt to save Vietnam from Communism, and not one song — not ONE — about the mass killings by Ho Chi Minh after 1954 or about the murder of thousands of innocents when the Communists briefly held Hue in the Tet Offensive?
Why have there been no songs about Mao’s murders of tens of millions of Chinese after he seized China in 1949? Why not one song about the amazing brutality of Kim Il Sung or Kim Jong Il of North Korea, who have starved and murdered millions of the most capable people on this earth?
Read the entire column! And remember, these are the same people who still hate this country, many of them holding public office, but glorify the murderers, like Stalin, and Che.
Too Much Going On!
And just what would John Kerry know about being ‘statesman-like’?
The New York Times wants to remove your anonymity. My thought, if you want to be anonymous, don’t be an ass too! Sadly, they both seem to go hand in hand these days.
I wasn’t aware Tennessee was a state of wusses. The heck with the ‘drugs’. Public hanging works too!
Perhaps, if Wisconsin had allowed teachers to be armed, like so many wanted them to be after the last time a kid stormed a school, THIS wouldn’t have happened. Just a thought.
Would the Taliban trash have hesitated to shoot an American soldier who was in a cell, and shackled? No, didn’t think so.
Proof, once again, Congress doesn’t give a DAMN what their BOSSES say!
I find it difficult to believe that Netanyahu could be so oblivious. Land for peace has NEVER worked, and it never will.
Now THIS is a good thing.
Thems Senators sho’ do likes them sum pork!
Am I the only one who is more than sick of D’Bama’s absurdity?
Espionage has nothing to do with a ‘free press’, nor does treason, in the case of the little worm who should NEVER have been anywhere near classified info.
There is something really wrong in a society where this type of action is becoming all too common.
It was a rough night in Mississippi.
Destroying lives, one meth lab at a time.
How does a friendly snowball fight turn into rock throwing violence?
They are worse than mad dogs, and need to be put down!
What the…………???
… MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW AND SLEET POSSIBLE IN PARTS OF THE MIDSOUTH THIS MORNING…
A COUPLE BANDS OF PRECIPITATION… ONE FROM PARIS TO TUPELO… AND ANOTHER ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER WILL CONTINUE PUSHING NORTHEAST THIS MORNING. SEVERAL REPORTS OF MIXED PRECIPITATION HAVE BEEN RELAYED TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN AREAS OF HEAVIER SHOWERS. ONE REPORT FROM OSCEOLA INDICATED SOME MINOR ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOW WAS BEGINNING ON ROADWAYS. ANOTHER REPORT IN MCNAIRY COUNTY ALSO INDICATED RAIN TRANSITIONING TO SLEET AND SNOW.
BIG Food Police
There is much being said about S. 510 lately. It’s a bill of more than 40,000 words, which leads me to ask…..have they read it? Do they know what’s in it, or does it just sound good on the surface? I mean, who doesn’t want safe food? Food, in my lifetime, has always been pretty safe. (Since the average age for an American woman is around 80, let’s just say I’m pretty much PAST that middle aged mark.) Oh, sure…there have been a few incidences, but as a whole, we have the safest food in the world. You can stop at your local fruit stand, on the side of the road, and buy home grown tomatoes. You can pick up a variety of veggies from your neighbors garden, or you can grow your own, and sell them at the flea market, and always be assured you had the freedom to do so.
Now, with this bill, that assurance is no longer viable. The “Secretary” is being given a whole lot of power over what you do, and personally, I’d like to know, just when did we hand over our personal responsibility to a faceless entity in D.C.?
Do you have a veggie garden? Do you can the extra, and maybe sell it to raise money for your church? Or community center, or some such? Well, too bad! If you don’t keep detailed records of every little thing you do, then you are out of luck! That’s a no no. Do you have honey bees? Do you sell your honey locally? Ooops! Can’t do that either. Big Brother says so! If you aren’t registered, if you don’t adhere to all their regulations, if you don’t bow down to Big Government, then lets face it, you are sh*t outta luck! Perhaps that little extra money you earned by selling your extra veggies, that was being saved to put Jr through college, is gone.
If you read through this bill, you’ll find they have taken great pains to affect EVERY aspect when it comes to any sort of food. And naturally, when it comes to government, the incompetence will commence immediately. I wouldn’t count on food being ‘safer’. As a matter of fact, I’d be more inclined to believe that safety will be the LAST concern of the federal government.
Last night, the Senate voted for cloture on this bill. You know, when they decide there’s been enough debate, and no matter what the people say, they’re going to do what they damn well please. My senators? Lamar Alexander – RINO, is actually a co-sponsor, and Bob Corker – RINO, appears to be all for it. Interesting that two senators from a state that has a LOT of rural area, and many roadside veggie stands would be for such a thing, don’t you think?
Lamar Alexander – R TN – Bribe For: $190,421 – Against: $4,850
Bob Corker – R TN – Bribe For: $298,639 – Against: $8,850

*head slap* Oh, I get it now. It’s not about safety, or concern for the citizens! It’s all about the money!
