While I am not referring to the Mad-Hatters tea party here, at the rate things are going lately it might as well be...feel free to insert your own choices of politicians & business leaders at the table...Having said that the Tea Party movement is picking up speed...regardless of if you are a fan or foe you may want to consider some quotes below...
"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. Whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."
"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."
"Delay is preferable to error."
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty".
"History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is".
These quotes belong to one Thomas Jefferson. He wrote them over 200 years ago. They sound like they were spoken yesterday. Is Thomas Jefferson the Great-Grandfather of the Tea Party movement? Would you call him a loon, a racist, a Nazi? It is our job to question government & for our government to properly inform us. Yes, there are matters of National Security that should be kept secret. However laws of the land should not be in 2,700 page bills that nobody can understand!!! Our officials are elected, not born into it. None of them are "The One" they are one of many. If they are not doing their job we can fire them. Regardless of your party affiliation keep that in mind this November. There are plenty on both sides of the aisle that need to go.

You Do Not Telegraph Your Punches!!!
I guess it's safe to say that back in the day when young Barry was going from country to country & school to school Mr. Keep It Cool never got into a physical altercation. Knowing kids can be tough on new kids & kids that are different how he managed this kinda makes me wonder. The truth of the matter is Barry didn't learn some lessons in the schoolyard that he should have. Now, for the record my Father taught me how to defend myself...but to think with my head & talk my way out of situations. If that failed then defend oneself & others. I've been pretty good at talking people down & breaking up fights. However, sometimes I had no choice & had to fight. Why...because not everybody thinks the same ways or were raised the same way. Some people just have a mean streak or were raised by morons. You learn this & how to deal with it. One of the lessons you learn early on regardless if you are taught a martial art, the "sweet science" (boxing) or wrestling...is YOU DO NOT TELEGRAPH YOUR PUNCHES! If you paid attention you actually learned not just how to do this, but as importantly how to read others. See where their eyes were looking, how they were positioned, etc...You didn't get int a fight & say...by the way I have a great right cross or a glass jaw.
Barry didn't learn this. That's why he made his announcement about how if we are hit by a non-nuke attack we will not hit back with nukes. In all fairness I agree in practice with not using nukes at all. They are a total disaster. The damage they cause can last for decades & longer affecting the generation hit & many next to come. Then there is the incredible amount of environmental damage they do. On top of that, the damage from radiation can be carried by wind & spread. Not a good option. However, there is no reason to let our "non-friends" know that. Why...because you do not telegraph your punches!!! Better they think you just might. I"m sure the Left Wing Media & fellow travellers just loved this. However, does Barry really think Dear Leader, Putin, The Mullahs of Iran, Chavez, Osama think oh wow this guy is a guy we can work with! Not that Idiot Cowboy who called us Enemies! Who said we had to choose sides! No, this guy, he gets us...we can work with him to finally achieve world peace & freedom for all men & women! Really, is this what you think? For a guy who is supposed to be so damn smart...the truth is from everything he says & does...I'm not going to argue that he's book smart & has the gift of gab...but when it comes to street smarts he seems pretty damn stupid! Barry...you don't telegraph your punches!!!

Rock & fn'Roll Lives!!!
Music Review Time...Kudo's to Slash for putting out the first really good Rock album in a too long time. There is a fair amount of new good music coming out(but way too much garbage)...but a great Rock album was lacking...until now that is. Slash's new album is awesome & one of those albums where every song is really good. This was soooo needed. When I was at my brothers house recently my 5yr going on 6(or is that 16...or 60) niece was dancing around singing Brittney & Lady Gaga songs...I thought I was going to pull my own head off! I played her some stuff on my ITouch (Candyman by Christina A wasn't as good an idea as I thought once I keyed in on lines like "makes my Cherry Pop" but she liked the Andrews Sisters like video & the song...I need to be more careful)...some Beatles & the like & luckily she liked that stuff. Now while this album's targeted audience isn't exactly my niece & nephew at least its good to know that some real new rock is coming out & hopefully they will start hearing stuff like this vs. overproduced Pop & Hip-Hop(please notice I said overproduced..there is some good POP & Hip-Hop...just too much crap) in the future...
Slash did a great job of gathering talent for the lead vocals...Ozzie Osbourne, Fergie, David Grohl, Adam Levine, Iggy Pop, Chris Connell etc...my favorites were
Beautiful Dangerous - Fergie needs to start singing Rock
Crucify The Dead
Nothing to Say
By the Sword
Doctor Alibi
Buy the CD or download it & remember "it's only Rock & Roll but I like it..I like it...yes I do!!!"

From Moscow With Murder...
Last week suicide bombers blew themselves up on two different subways in Moscow taking 40 innocent civilians with them as well as wounding 90 others. More troubling is the fact that the bombers were women. Known as the Brides of Allah or as the Russian newspapers call them the Black Widows, they gained notoriety in their participation in the the Moscow theater hostage crisis (which was a total disaster). Men doing this is sick enough as is...but recruiting women to do this s even more disgusting. Do they get promised 72 virgins as well?!? Female readers...how many of you think having 72 virgins to service you throughout eternity would be something you would actually want? Eternity with 72 clueless, horny idiots not knowing what the hell they are doing forever? Yeah...I'm guessing many of you are planning on signing up now.
On top of this what are they hoping to achieve? Putin rose to power by going after the Chechen's & not willing to give an inch. How does killing innocent civilians who may side with the Chechen's right to their own country help? People who could vote for reforms to help them(then again...this is Russia...they get to vote...not sure how much good it does). Don't they realize that Putin is only going to send vicious Special Forces troops into their cities & villagers to slaughter them to send a message back? He could care less about the loss of life on either side. Just his own power base. This is the guy who during the opening night of the Olympics(where we are supposed to gather to show unity) rolled his tanks into the Republic of Georgia! A KGB thug who is now a Billionaire & runs their gas & oil companies & controls the newspapers. He's not an American present concerned about what the papers write, this is a guy who suppresses the news & when a Journalist writes something he doesn't like has them killed in cold blood on the street.
The combination of the Chechen's using the fringe element fanatical Muslims to launch these attacks to try to achieve their goals & a Russian Czar who is more then happy to use full lethal force is a disaster caught in an endless loop of violence with no apparent end. For the record...I did a little research & the issues between the Chechen's & Mother Russia go back over 300 years...and we thought we had trouble here. Just remember our internal issues aside, it is our tolerance & desire to integrate various cultures that make America the shining beacon that it still is & has always been.

A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing...

The Chinese have an ancient proverb (actually, they have many) "A picture says a thousand words". Well I guess it's safe to say that the totally candid unsolicited picture of Obama holding a book by Mitt Romney (he had Dick Morris's latest book as well in his shopping cart) shows proof that Obama is not an Ultra Left Winger much less a Socialist like many claim. He is actually a Right Wing creation of his real mentor....Karl Rove! His voting record being the most Liberal on record was a mere ploy as well as the photo op & photo shopped pics of him with Reverend Wright, unreformed terrorist Bill Ayers, etc... You say this is crazy talk...really..then lets look at a few hard documented facts...
He ran on ending the wars & closing Gitmo...
- Are we still in Iraq? Yes.
- Are we still in Afghanistan? Yes & he ordered a surge of 30,000 troops!
- Have we closed Gitmo? No
- Are we still using Drones? Not only is Big O using Predator drones...he is using them far more often then W...and W thought they were a mission on COD Modern Warfare 2 & used to play all night with Rove...& Obama is still using them more!
- Are we still using rendition? Yes
He ran on fixing the Economy...
- He purchased a bunch of car companies
- He purchased a bunch of Investment Banks
- He took over the Health Care Industry
What Liberal Democrat buys businesses? They put our money into unprofitable Gov't ennablement programs, they don't buy businesses to make profits!
He ran on Health Care reform
- Public Option? No
- Abortions funded? No
- Left wing of Democratic Party happy? No
- Michael Moore happy(the other leg, breast, & wing of the party)? No
He ran on fixing the World that W Broke
- Good relation with the UK? No
- Good relations with Israel? No
- Better relations with Iran? No
- Better relations with N.Korea? No (but great photo op for Billy C)
- Appointed Americas darling Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State....Hugo Chavez refers to her as Blondaleeza!!!
Does the saying keep your friends close & your enemies closer come to mind to any of you?!? Of course this is why he is pissing off the Brits & Israeli's...it's to bring our real enemies in...(no not Islamic fanatics...our real enemies...the...Visitors!!!)
Facts are facts...feel free to dispute them...but you may just want to check them out first. Plus, why else would someone as intelligent as Obama pick someone like Biden as his Veep...unless to draw distraction & cover...
I will leave you with another ancient Chinese proverb(or is it curse?) "May you live in interesting times"...
