Google and NSA

There is a lot of unnecessary bile about Google getting security help from the National Security Agency. Well, unnecessary unless you believe in vampires, staged moon landings, “Bill Gates will give you a million bucks if you forward this email” or that nuclear fusion is highly sensitive to temperature, and massive stars have higher temperature cores so that they can support the greater mass of the star, all leading to the high luminosity.

Feh! SOME people.

Beck’s Lie

I’ve been a fan of Glenn Beck’s for about two years – before he moved to Fox News. I liked his over-the-top fusillades against liberals and their damaging policies. Most impressive to me was his research. The depth and accuracy of his exploration into law, history and culture was something this former intelligence analyst really appreciated.

No more.

On his February 2nd show, in making a point about America’s growing dependency on China, Beck said something that infuriated me. Being challenged on philosophy is one thing, but using a lie to stoke that challenge is something I can’t tolerate.

Unsweet Tea

When the “Tea Party” movement began last year, it was refreshing and exciting to see citizens rise to challenge the lords of government.

Fed up with taxes, unabated government spending and increasing intrusions into their lives, the electorate got mad as hell and weren’t gonna take it any more. Protests sprang up across the country in groups small and some massively large. In September of last year, hundreds of thousands – maybe even a couple of million – stormed the gates in Washington in a loud and visible blast of outrage.

Absolutely Lost in Debate & Supstance…

Clueless to the Real Issues!

Obama is just talk-talk-talk. Talk about everything but the issues facing our county. Now Let see if we can understand at least one issue. I received this in my email. It is both funny and very true.

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.

IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.

IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET SHOT.

IF YOU CROSS THE SAUDI ARABIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE JAILED.

IF YOU CROSS THE CHINESE BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU MAY NEVER BE HEARD FROM AGAIN.

IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.

IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

IF YOU CROSS THE U.S. BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET

A JOB,
A DRIVERS LICENSE,
SOCIAL SECURITY CARD,
WELFARE,
FOOD STAMPS,
CREDIT CARDS,
SUBSIDIZED RENT OR A LOAN TO BUY A HOUSE,
FREE EDUCATION,

A LOBBYIST IN WASHINGTON,
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS PRINTED IN YOUR LANGUAGE,
THE RIGHT TO CARRY YOUR COUNTRY’S FLAG WHILE YOU PROTEST THAT YOU DON’T GET ENOUGH RESPECT,
AND, IN MANY INSTANCES, YOU CAN VOTE.

What those who are born here work many years to attain!
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION (this is our taxes at work)

Spy Exclusive: Sanford On The State of The Union Address

After listening to President Obama’s State of the Union address, I wanted to get the opinion of someone who understood both the fiscal and political ramifications of his plans.

I thought of South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford. Gov. Sanford – a renowned fiscal conservative – famously challenged the introduction of federal stimulus funds in the state last year on financial rather than political merits. The Governor graciously consented to a few questions about the President’s speech.

Iran: Two Men, Two Lessons

Presidents Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Barack Obama may each learn a lesson from one another this week.

With reports that the Iranian opposition is planning nation-wide protests in ten days and Ahmadinejad responding by saying he “will deliver a harsh blow to ‘global arrogance’” on the same day, internal tensions haven’t been this high since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. But this time, it’s more than Iran that could suffer the (literal) fallout.

Fed Threats

Of all places, Daily Kos actually has a good post on more scare tactics to keep the Fed status quo going. We have already heard that any audit of the Fed or any threat to its independence will cause everything to go to hell. Now if the Senate doesn’t re-confirm Time’s “Man of the Year”, then everything will go to hell. The moment the Senate doesn’t confirm him everything depicted in the movie “2012″ will be unleashed and we will all be doomed.

The Chosen One continues to Campaign!

The Chosen One Leads Again!

Once again, Obama is Campaigning to win votes in Ohio! Today, Air Force One takes the Left Wing Messiah to Ohio to campaign for Job Creation. But, he takes no new jobs with him…

With just over 10% Unemployment, the Ohio folks must find this visit strange. He will promise them jobs, he will remind them that HE has saved their jobs, and He will bless them with even saving more jobs in the future. But…will he create any jobs before their eyes….What magic rabbit will dazzle Ohio now?

Or has Ohio finally seen the light:    One if by land, Two if by sea, Three if by air…….

Clouding Transparency

Wes Wolfe’s post “Haley late on disclosures” is one of those examples of the good ol’ boys of South Carolina politics working so very hard to diminish valid competition.

Well, how about that? Rep. Nikki Haley, dubbed, “Ms. Transparency,” can’t come up with her disclosure report by the deadline. You’d think that a person who’s practically gotten “transparency” tattooed on her forehead would have her finances in line to the point that she could go live with her contributors and expenses by Sunday night/Monday morning. Apparently, it doesn’t look that way.

Compromise or Threats?

The One shall Lead the Progressive Bullies

The Far Left, or for those who are attempting to change our cultural language, Progressives, are not interested in any political compromise. Whatever made anyone think that someone from the Far Left (Progressives) wants to sit down and discuss any form of compromise or fair negotiation, let alone cooperation.  Hell, They can’t even get along with each other. What on earth makes anyone think they can negotiate or bargain though any type of reasonable agreement? These folks would rather pretend some phony astonishment at the presentation and then use the press to vilify and malign anyone who does not think like they do.

And they use threats against those who would express their political thought publicly. Oh yes, I write locally for my local newspaper and even that can be dicey at times. They’ll spit on you in public and email you veiled threats. They will stand on the perimeter, using a tempered posture while they stare hard at you. Oh, they clearly want you to feel their presence. These people want to bully you into shutting your mouth, curtailing any idea of Free Speech. That is why the Second Amendment in our Bill of Rights scares them so much.

It is the Second Amendment that protects the First Amendment, not only for the written word, but the individual’s spoken word. Yet, what is worse, is having to deal with those carefully written intimidations that cause you to wonder if your family is included.

And these poor far left cracked sillies are willing to blame one for just about anything! I have been accused of blaming the Democrats for low crop yield. I have even been condemned for blaming the Democrats for the Viking’s losses this season. Yes, I thought you’d like that one.

Of course, there is the usual expected attack on my ability to use my manhood and that I should use toilet paper to wipe my mouth every time I speak my mind.

So, what do these threats really mean?

Ask 22-year-old Kwame Dancy, who was killed after receiving a twitter threat: “Stop XXXXX retweetin XXXXX before I make it to where u can’t wlk through my block…” My most recent threat was sent via email: “Good luck tomorrow and good luck walking”.   So, what is the difference here.     Well, I am still living while Kwame Dancy is gone.

Overblown ego, bravado, and hate did in Dancy I suppose. My threats to my person and family are strictly from the political genre. But the threats are indeed similar with the local police unable to do anything, unless the threat is specific in its words.

Just writing “Good luck tomorrow and good luck walking” and “before I make it to where you can’t wlk through my block” are not specific enough to use in a court of law to deal with the individual making the threat.     The police can’t even talk to the guy making the threat. Now, if something like assault or murder should follow such words (like in Dancy’s case), then and only then the intent of hazard transforms for the police and court.

The man arrested in Dancy’s murder is now being charged with Internet Threat, —after the event.   So much for protection and prevention of major crime?

So, we are now left wondering if the creepy similarities in threatening language should be taken somewhat seriously.    Well, it was on this end, however the police were quick to note that though they personally perceived it threatening, their hands were tied by law and the judges. Judges want the language specific, like legislative law, or no bench warrant can be issued. With no warrant, any police visit can be viewed in court later as harassment. Again, it sounds like we are protecting the rights of the veiled villain as opposed to the approximate victim these threats go too?

What is worse is that one name was used in an email threat. However, no one can be found with that name within a three hour drive. The rest are unknown. Email technology at its best or worst depending which side of the threat you stand on. Even with friends looking into the threat, good friends in high places mind you, nothing can be done about the email threats so far received or to the individuals who may have sent them.

More or less, this conservative is on his own for his own protection.   I have chosen to stand by my Second Amendment Rights and to utilize them to the best of my own abilities.    I have taken my State’s Right to Carry Law Course and fulfilled its obligations and requirements.   Now, they can threaten all they want. I am prepared to defend home and castle, family and person. I am also prepared to meet any physical assault.

Take that you Far Left Progressive Bullies, and chew on it real hard.

Racing In Heels

A poll published on Real Clear Politics last month put the top three Republican gubernatorial prospects as State Attorney General Henry McMaster and Lt. Governor Andre Bauer (both at 22%) and State Representative Nikki Haley (13%).

The poll is only moderately revealing, especially so far in advance of the June primary, but, still, there are grains of sooth for which I will serve as the sayer.

First, the big name NOT on the list is Congressman Gresham “Deep Pockets” Barrett who came in 4th with 9%. The fact that Haley has surpassed Barrett is remarkable. In this case, having done so with five months to go before the primary suggests she is a far more formidable candidate than initially anticipated.

Men Only?

I’ve heard it again. “A woman can’t be elected governor of South Carolina.”

I wrote about this stupid notion last year. It’s astounding (1) that people believe this and (2) they think there is reason to believe it.

The reason why people believe a woman can’t win the Palmetto Governor’s Office is because a few backward thinking, 18th century neanderthals don’t want no woman tellin’ them what to do. Womens ain’t s’pose ta be da boss over mens.

Too late. When HAVEN’T they been da boss over mens?

Wrestling With The Truth

“Once the trust goes out of a relationship, it’s really no fun lying to them anymore. ‘Norm’ from Cheers TV series

Lying and politics are not strangers, but despite what NORM! thinks, our “leadership” still seem to get a kick out of lying to us even though our trust in them is pretty much non-existent.

Repeating History

But the Russians could never keep long-term control of areas they seized — a problem the coalition has become painfully familiar with. In a 1986 memo that could mostly have been written today, the Soviet army’s chief of staff stated gloomily: “After seven years in Afghanistan there is not one square kilometre left untouched by the boot of a Soviet soldier. But as soon as they leave the place, the enemy returns and restores it all the way it used to be. We have lost this war.”

Transparency Lies Get Noticed!

Incredible! CNN’s Jack Cafferty hammers Obama and Pelosi over transparency.

Perhaps some people in the “mainstream media” can’t look at themselves in the mirror anymore…

Stepford Candidate to Step Out?

South Carolina State Senator Larry Grooms’ gubernatorial campaign has been fraught with problems pretty much from the beginning. The issues haven’t been so much on credentials – Grooms is a business friendly conservative – but with organization.

I’ve labeled Grooms “The Stepford Candidate” for being a tool of the Richard Quinn Consulting group as a means to hurt the campaign of the only other conservative in the race, State Rep. Nikki Haley.

On November 8, I wrote that Grooms’ campaign manager, Quinn associate Chris Sullivan had been dropped from the campaign and that Grooms’ organization had contacted a New Jersey consulting firm to run the campaign.

I was recently handed – literally – documents from someone in Maryland that not only confirm the above, but provided some details.

Are You Happy NOW?

Well, you got what you wanted. YOU… the geniuses who voted for Barack Obama.

Hope. Change. “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

And with it, we ALL got lies, a charlatan president, an inept administration, a buffoon for a vice president, a socialist entourage in the executive branch, tax cheats in the Cabinet, thieves and traitors in Congress…

No Shame!

Administration officials faulted the National Security Agency for not calling attention to intercepted communications from Yemen during the late summer and fall referring to a “Nigerian” being readied for an al-Qaeda attack, as well as what some intelligence officials said were direct conversations there between Abdulmutallab, whose name was unknown at the time, and radical American Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi. Washington Post

The President of the United States has no shame. He also has no idea how intelligence works. This seriously flawed “Commander-in-Chief” looks for anyone to blame rather than showing leadership.

Terrorism And The Pointing Man

President Obama has developed a penchant for blaming others for, well, just about anything that doesn’t go well. Every time something goes wrong (a pretty frequent occurrence), it’s always someone else at fault. Either that, or he makes snap judgments without having the full story, usually in an effort to either deflect responsibility or make someone of the opposition look bad.
