ACORN illegal voter registration and fraud? ACORN, which stands for: Association of Community Organizations, has been accused of voter registration fraud all across this country. This group can be said to be engaged in corrupt shake-downs. However they get a pass on this from the news media and the government. Had an Italian engaged in these same practices, they would be charged under the RICO Act, (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act), and called the Mafia or Cosa Nostra. Where this organization has engaged in voter registrations same people registered multiple times. The line up of the Texas football team, the Dallas Cowboys were registered to vote in Las Vegas, Nevada. One town had more people registered to vote than had voting age people in the population. It has been reported that Senator Barack Obama while a community organizer worked for this organization. Basically if Senator Obama wins this election by a razor thin majority it could be said the election was won by Democratic Party voter fraud perpetrated by ACORN on their behalf. The only way to have a clean election to erase any appearance of voter fraud, the next president needs to win by a large majority.

Canadian Bear bites Aussie As reported in the Australian newspaper, The Daily Telegraph, an Australian tourist named Will Pelling went on holiday (vacation) in the Canadian Rockies, British Columbia, is a picturesque town named Whistler. While walking the streets in this town one evening Aussie Mr. Pelling came upon a bear freely roaming the streets. Mr. Pelling did what most would do, he froze! The bear walked up to him and bit his leg and walked about its business leaving Mr. Pelling behind. The bite was minor and no hospital visit required. However Mr. Pelling did what any responsible person would do, he reported the incident to local authorities. They in turn went after the bear, located it, and killed the bear. This caused the local loonies, far left liberals to prove once again that liberalism is a mental disorder. Mr. Pelling was criticized by locals, websites, and the local newspapers. To these loonies the bears life was more important than that of a humans life. When wild animals performed as this bear did in civilization, they need to be put down to avoid another such incident which could result in lose of limb or a death of a human. None of this matters to those suffering from the mental disorder know as liberalism.

Green Sahara proof of the man-made global warming hoax In the African country of Niger, the Sahara Desert, a team from the University of Chicago searching for the remains of dinosaurs when they came across the remains of about 200 human graves, and remains of animals, large fish, and crocodiles Supposedly from a group of people called the Kiffan from about 8,000 to 10,000 years ago. Which means at one time this desert region was lush with humans, animals and vegetation before the earth warmed and converted the area to a desert. Did the Kiffan people drive SUVs and engage in heavy industry which caused Al Gores man-made global warming hoax? Or did the earth warm up without any help from humans and just followed the natural cyclical earths path of warming and cooling? Further proof man-made global warming is a hoax, unless one can prove President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were driving SUVs in the region 10,000 years ago to kill off the vegetation for oil?

2008 Presidential Elections the abortion issue This election is one of the most important in the United States of America (USA) since the election of 1860, when Abraham Lincoln was elected President. In 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled there was a womans right to an abortion constitutionally protected, that was a move by activist judges hallucinating a non-existence right in that document. Which clearly defined the difference between activist judges and strict constructionist judges? Strict constructionist judges read the constitution as written and as intended by the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and discussed in the Federalist Papers. Senator Barack Obama believes there is a womans right to an abortion clearly stated in the constitution, and will appoint justices with the same belief. Senator John McCain believes no such right exists in the constitution and will appoint justices with the same belief. In actuality the legality of abortion constitutional does no lie with the federal government, but with the 50 individual states. The Tenth Amendment to the constitution reads: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Meaning the responsibility belongs to the states since abortion is no where mentioned. During this next Presidential cycle there could be 3 to 4openings on the Supreme Court. Meaning the issue of abortion could finally be decided, thus making this election a decision between life and death. Another import aspect of this election is, do you want this nation to be socialist? Then vote for Senator Obama. Do you want to enhance our capitalism? Then vote for Senator McCain. Most import of all, please make sure you do vote.

Their type of demonstrations and theater should be embraced by all of us. The tragedy in North Korea should concern all decent people on this planet. Here is a nation sandwiched by two economic wonders and yet their people are subject to starvation in The Hermit Kingdom (North Korea). The famine of the 1990s is poised to repeat itself. This misery suffered upon these people is the result of communism and despotism. The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, better known was North Korea is oppressed by a lunatic named, Kim Jong-Il from Pyongyang.

Congress rejects bailout bill a Pelosi failure or success? On Monday, September 29th, 2008, the United States of America (USA) Congress, the House of Representatives, led by the majority Democratic Party, Speaker of the House Representative Nancy Pelosi (San Francisco, California) rejected the 700 billion dollar bailout bill. The news media is trying to lay blame for this on the Republican Party. However the Democrats control the Congress. Which means had the Democrats wanted this legislation to pass, they could have easily passed it as they are in the majority. However the news media is once again telling lies to the American public to cover for their overlords in the Democratic Party. The Democrats said they wanted an equal number of Republicans to support this bill as Democrats so the blame could be shared equally. If this bill was good for America why did the Democrats want Republicans to share in the blame? Also Mrs. Pelosi gave permission to those Democrats in heavily contest re-election campaigns they did not have to vote for this bill. That means Mrs. Pelosi knew this bill was not want the American public wanted. It also means Mrs. Pelosi did not want this bill to be passed. Then just before the vote was to take place, Speaker of the House, the Democratic Party partisan Nancy Pelosi gave a speech in the House re-rating the Republicans for the current financial situation. The Republicans sitting on the fence were then pushed over to the nay side by her speech. Also during the vote when Republicans realized 40 percent of Democrats were not voting for this, then why should they? This legislation was doomed from the beginning, Mrs. Pelosi knew it, and she try to maneuver to lay the blame on the Republicans. To Mrs. Pelosi the failure of our economy was secondary to the blame game wining the upcoming elections. Mrs. Pelosi put the Democratic Party before the United States of America, with the news media goose-stepping behind her. Over one trillion dollars were lost and the stock market plunged over 600 points after the failure of the vote. Then what did the House of Representatives do? They took two days off for a holiday. If this issue was so important for Congress to decide, then why did they take two days off? The beauty here is those who voted against this bill, both Democrats and Republicans listened to the constituents back in their home districts. 80% of Americans did not like this bill. Americans did not embrace the socialism of this bill as they have faith in capitalism and the market place. Those business who made the bad business decision by writing questionable mortgage, need to assume the responsibility themselves and not use the federal government as a net. What is sad is the Democrats caused this in the President Carter and President Clinton (both Democrats) years. It was their administrations which forced the lending institutions to write bad loans. President Bush tried at least twelve times during the past eight years to get Congress to correct his situation, and the Democrats told him to get lost. Even when the Republicans were in control of the Congress the bums let the Democrats still run the joint.

Senate lifts the ban on oil drilling, an election year hoax Well the bums in the United Sates Congress, the Senate voted 78 to 12, to lift the ban on off shore oil drilling in the Spending Bill. This was an election year hoax perpetrated by the majority party the Democrats, following by their willing dupes in the Republican Party. The ban was lifted for the Pacific and Atlantic coast. However leaving in place the ban on off shore drilling in the eastern part of the Gulf of Mexico, off the state of Florida. So while the USA oil firms are prohibited from drilling in this oil rich area, the Cubans are allowing the Communist Chinese to drill for this oil. Perhaps the Democrats in Congress did not want to deprive the Communist of their oil. Lifting the ban on offshore drilling will only benefit the trail lawyers and not the average American trying to fill up the gas tank. The oil leases should be issued around the year 2011. Then the oil companies can drill once they overcome the obstacle of the legions of law suits to be filed by the trail lawyers on behalf of the environmentalist, anti-capitalist, greedy state politicians, and your everyday run of the mill nut. Meaning this ban will only benefit the trail lawyers as they stand to make millions on these law suits. The bums in the Senate could have passed legislation bundling all these lawsuits into one, but they did not. Because by doing so, it would have deprived their paid supporters in the trail lawyer associations. The Democrats knew lifting this ban as they did would not result in any oil drilling, but only serve to pull a hoax on the America people to make us think they heard our voices. What a joke! The only voices they hear are the special interest such as the far-left environmentalist and the trail lawyers. It is time to vote the bums out of Congress, all of them!

Presidential Debates, important or theater? The first 2008 presidential debate was held in Mississippi, Friday, September 26th, 2008. The debates in current day America (United States of America) are rather insignificant. Their sole purpose is to provide headlines for the news media the next day in their game of gotcha. These debates also provide fodder for the talking heads on the Sunday morning talk shows and late night comedians. As for substance they are void of it. Most voters already know whom they vote for with or without these worthless debates. At one time the debates were moderated by the League of Women Voters (LWV). However somehow the LWV were muscled out of the debates and replaced by the bias news media. These debates try to take on the importance of the Lincoln Douglas debates in 1858, but fail. They look for the well deliver one liners of the Ronald Reagan debates, however providing another failure. Those who claim they will decide whom they will vote for based on the debates are only putting on a façade as to try to lend legitimacy to their claim they are rational and deep thinkers concerning the election. However this is an important election for all voting age Americans. Please make sure to vote if you are eligible to vote.

The Bailout continued The Democrats in Congress have been refusing to lift the ban on drilling for oil in the United States of America, thus causing billions of dollars to leave America and go to governments hostile to the United States (USA). A few weeks ago the idiots in Congress gave their okay to allow oil exploration and drilling offshore, 50 miles out. Talk about stupid! The oil companies have explored the waters under 50 miles, and the Democrats in Congress knew this. This was just a worthless election years stunt by the bums in Congress. Then earlier this week the Democrats in Congress let the ban on all offshore drilling expire. Meaning the oil companies could drill one, three, or twelve miles off our coast. Another election year stunt by the Democratic bums in Congress. Because the oil companies are aware that after the election if Senator Barack Obama wins the election and/or the Democrats regain control of Congress, they will reestablish those bans as the elections would have been over. So the oil companies do now want to spend any money till after the election. Also as we continue to put food in our gas tanks the cost of food will continue to rise hurting our economy further. It is time for the revolution! Sharpen your pitch forks (metaphorically) and march on Washington, DC via the ballot box. We need to vote every incumbent out of office. It the next bunch behaves like this bunch of bums, and then we vote them out also. No need for a violent revolution when we have the ballot box to attack them with. God save our country!

The Bailout and the USA economy President George Bush in his speech on the economy and the bail out did not outline who the bums are that are responsible for this mess. Democrat President Jimmy Carter during his term in office (1976 1980) pressured the lending institutions to write mortgage loans to people who under normal circumstance would not qualify due to lack of income or a tarnished credit history. Then when the Clintons (Clintonistas) occupied The White House (1992 2000), their administration and Democratic Congress (during the early part of the Clinton reign) pressured and ordered lending institutions to accelerate this practice to put more low income people into home ownership. More bad mortgages were written as a result of this liberal social experiment. Then that Fannie May and Mack became a patronage dumping ground for Democratic Party loyalist. These two quasi government entities began to buy up all these bad mortgages, thus increasing the assets. Which as a result increased assets ballooned their bonuses into the millions if not hundreds of millions. Who in turned donated large amounts of money to the Democratic Party and Democratic candidates. During the past eight years President Bush went to Congress around twelve times to correct this mess and each time Congress told him to get lost. Now we are asked to bail out this mess with 700 billon dollars. It is anti-capitalist, but it is necessary to save our economy that two Democratic Party Presidents have caused along with the bums in Congress. New York State Senator Charles Schumer had a good idea: only give 350 billion to the bail out. Then when the government spends that, go back to Congress for the second half after explaining what was done with the first half. Liberalism is a mental disorder and Democrats are afflicted. To bad Sea Shepherd could not have been tied into this mess. Oh darn!

China tainted food continues Japanese Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Seiichi Ota submitted his resignation to Japans Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda, because of contaminated rice found in rice balls. The rice was imported from China, the nation known for its exports of tainted food. The Chinese are not immune to tainted food. Here to for, it was thought the commies in China reserved the tainted food for export only. A scandal has rocked China over tainted milk produced and sold in China resulting in the deaths of some babies in China. According to a European Commission: -Half of all dangerous goods seized in Europe in 2007 came from China. -Last year China found two companies guilty of intentionally exporting contaminated pet food. -US authorities last year gave warning that monkfish imported from China may be puffer fish, containing a potentially deadly toxin. -In 2005 Sudan 1, a carcinogenic food coloring, was found in Chinese branches of KFC. -In January a survey found almost two thirds of Chinese people were worried about food safety. Also, China was caught exporting dried apples preserved in a cancer causing substance in 2007. Early in 2008 the bums in the United States Congress passed limited legislation requiring as of October 1st, 2008, the following foods must be labeled as to their country of origin: beef, veal, lamb, pork, chicken, goat, wild and farm-raised fish and shellfish, perishable fruit and vegetables, peanuts, pecans, ginseng and macadamia nuts. This law does not go far enough, however it is a first step for a Congress who has no regard for the safety of the U.S. consumer, and total loyalty to the importers who line their worthless pockets.

Russell Brand, Euro-Trash? You decide Recently there was another awards event by the perverts in the American entertainment industry. At the event was a person from the United Kingdom, Russell Brand. In an attempt to please the people in the audience, he insulted and degraded our American president, President Bush. Here is this non-citizen, a foreigner, fortunate enough to be allowed in invest the USA upon his arrival, had no problem showing disrespect to the very nation that allowed him to slither within our borders. This thing is so typical of those in Europe who are Euro-trash. They find it amusing to bash our president for their enjoyment. This is equivalent to siblings in a family poking fun at one another. Which is fine because it is within the family. However let the family next door join in poking fun at the sibling, then the family unites and finds fault with the rudeness of that family next door.

In t he commercial it is mentioned Senator McCain does not know how to use the Internet or send an email. The blogosphere went buzzing with criticism concerning the insensitivity of this commercial by the Obama campaign. Then on September 14th, 2008 The Boston Globe issued an article in an attempt to provide cover for the Obama Campaign. This article written by Bryan Bender of The Boston Globe, writes in part, ..including stories several years ago in the Boston Globe and Slate.com that indicated injuries McCain sustained when he was a prisoner of war in Vietnam prevent him from using a keyboard. The key word in the article was indicated. That Boston Globe article written several years ago, appeared in The Boston Globe on March 4th, 2000, written by Mary Leonard. Here is in part what Ms. Leonard wrote in that article, McCains severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes. Did you read anything in the above 2000 article which gave the impression of indicated? This is an example of the news media providing cover for the insensitivity in the Obama Campaign and the stupidly of The Boston Globe. Both candidates have a YouTube channel.

Jon Voight blacklisted by the Stalinist in Hollywood On July 28th, 2008, the newspaper The Washington Times published a column titled, My Concerns for America, written by Oscar award winning actor Jon Voight. In this column Mr. Voight expressed concerns about Senator Barack Obama being the Democratic Partys nomine for president of these here United States of America. He continues to write about the Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called movement of the Vietnam War era. The column outlines the weakness of Senator Obama, and the questionable character and patriotism of the people Mr. Obama has decide to associate with. In essence the column of a condemnation of Senator Obamas ideology. This column infuriate they pervert thespians in Hollywood as it ran counter to their Stalinist ideology. Back in the 1950s there was a Senator from Wisconsin, Senator Joseph McCarthy who headed hearings to root out and expose the Communist who infiltrated Hollywood. As a result of his hearings many thespians were black listed and unable to get work in the movie industry. Some years later Hollywood expressed its indignation over such a list and said actors of all political views should be permitted to work in perverted Hollywood. So now that the left leaning Communist thespians are now in control of Hollywood, and there is no Senator Joe McCarthy in our spineless, worthless Congress, they are now black listing conservative, patriotic Americans such as Jon Voight. The bum pervert thespians want to be free to express impose their far left politics on the rest of the nation and offer a perverted view of American society to the rest of the world. However refuse to allow alternate views and opinions. As a result Mr. Jon Voight is being ostracized and shunned by the perverts in Hollywood. This hypocrisy is so typical of liberalism which is a mental disorder. Tags: Jon Voight Obama Democrats Oscar Academy Awards Stalinist commentary analysis news |

Earth First, last in rationality In the woods of the state of North Carolina members of an extreme environmental group gathered to mourn the death of a fallen tree. Their behavior illustrates the mental disorder known as liberalism. Where is this emotion when a carrot is uprooted to feed the face of careless human? These mourners are an excellent example that the United States of America is too affluent. Too affluent to where some people can concern themselves emotionally over the downing of a tree. Many people in the USA and around the world concern themselves with their daily existence, while these children of the uber rich lament the harvesting of a crop, a tree. If liberals ever employed rationality to their thinking, liberalism would be eradicated.

Japanese pride and patriotism Many people in Japan have expressed concern over the lack of pride and patriotism in their nation. This video is about urging people in Japan to show their patriotism. Many people throughout the world express patriotism for their nation, even that Olympian from Somalia. People in Japan sent messages stating patriotism is frowned upon as it is associated with far right and far leftist groups. It is not taught in the schools as indicated from these good people who sent the messages. Also stated if one shows pride, they are reprimanded and associated with one of those fringe groups. That is a shocking and confusing. Understandably some of it has its roots to trying to make sure the militarism of the last century does not resurface, but enough is enough. That militarism was only about 50 years long of a blemish Japanese history out of a history of over five centuries. Almost all nations have blemishes in their history if not longer; yet take pride in their nation. Look at the USA, slavery for about 83 years, blacks treated as 2nd and 3rd class citizens for about 100 years, treaties broken and land stolen from Native Americans for about 100 years. Yet many Americans are all extremely patriotic of their nation, including blacks and Native Americans. So why do the people of Japan have to deprive themselves of this same pride? Japan is a tiny country, limited land, almost no natural resources, and your nation was devastated 60 years ago, and with all that, you have the number two economy in the world! Wow, that in itself deserves pride, because that was accomplished by the people, not by a wealth of natural resources or enormous land mass. The futures of the USA and Japan seem to be linked in prosperity and friendship. Now why not both nations exhibit a healthy pride of their homelands equal to the others?

9/11 jumpers disturbing while Afghan civilian deaths are not On the day of September 11th, 2001 America saw the raw footage of the horror taking place in lower Manhattan, the World Trade Center, as it was being aired live. Since that day the American news media has refused to show video of 9/11 their excuse being the videos are too disturbing. However on the television shows we constantly are being shown cadavers on the cold steel slabs in the coroner's office. In most cases the bodies mutilated or in various stages of an autopsy. Sure the scenes are staged, however we know how good Hollywood is in making the "staged" look all too scary real. On September 8th, 2008, the NBC evening news with script reader Brian Williams was discussing a recent event in Afghanistan. NATO and/or American troops are being accused of accidently bombing innocent civilians. NBC and Brian Williams had no objection to air the footage of those deaths. Brian did issue a warning stating the video about to be shown of Afghan civilian deaths is disturbing. It is okay to show disturbing video when allegedly American soldiers kill civilians. However when the terrorist intentionally murder Americans the American news media refuses to air video incriminating to the terrorist. The news media in America call themselves "the 4th estate." When in actuality they are "fifth columnist," out to destroy the nation of their birth, the United States of America (USA). Face it folks, the news media in the United States has been infiltrated and taken over by America-haters. NBC's role is to make Americans hate America, while CNN's role is to make the rest of the world hate America.

Yankee go home, or damn Yankee go home! The day after the end of the 2008 Republican Party National Convention, The Dallas Morning News published an article titled, "Winners and Losers." Basically the article was about what that newspaper felt were the pluses and minuses of the Republican convention. One of the "losers," or minuses was concerning the Texas delegation. This delegation was noticeable by their haberdashery selection. They all wore the same style, same color cowboy hats. Here is what The Dallas Morning News wrote: The unquestioned champion of overused metaphors was "Republican hats" and "American hats." And then, of course, Texans had to have theirs bigger and better than everyone else's. Enough already." How is it a newspaper in Texas does not like what is a Texan icon and historical and current attire for Texans? If the truth be known the person who wrote that article is a "damn Yankee." See, people around the world call all Americans, "Yankees." While in the United States that term is reserved for those Americans originated from the Northeast of the United States (USA). The term originated as a name for Connecticut businessmen who were considered frugal in their business dealings, which also happens to be part of the "New England" region of the United States. During The War Between the States, The Civil War, the term "Yankee" came to be used in reference to all people in the Union, the North. However a "damn Yankee," is one who moves from the Northeast to the South, and does not go back to the North. Willing to bet the author of the criticism in that article of Texans was one of them dar "damn Yankees."
