Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 7/12 We Know Times Are Tough, But The President Asks For Patience As He Travels The Globe

You know, if he *really* wanted to teach history, that news segment that showed him visiting the former slave holding area would have pointed out that the slaves held there were captured not by white men, but by Arabs and Africans who held them to sell to others. The white man didn't cruise by, land on some beach and chase the soon to be slaves around and snag them. They BOUGHT them from others of their own kind. Reparations? Sure, Barry. Make sure those in Ghana pay you all well. And make darn sure that YOUR own lineage doesn't include the sellers, or you're out a bucketful. As to slavery of other races, it's well documented that somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty five thousand WHITE sailors were taken captive along the African coast when their ships became stranded. Reparations? Pony up, Barry Boy. You can make my check payable directly to me. Forty acres, a government mule, and you out of my life would be even better than cash.

mpg8, I think I would begrudge it even under the best of national financial circumstances. A trip abroad now and again with the resulting huge sums spent on extra security for his family as well as himself? Sure. This constant globe trotting, creating a bigger "carbon footprint" in a single day than most of our entire families will create in their entire lifetimes, telling the American people "that we might not get to drive the cars we want, or eat as much food as we want, etc., etc." all the while murmuring "let them eat cake." The current resident of the White House plain sickens me with his hypocrisy, his deceit, his arrogance.... this is a list that could go on for days. I find his wife and cronies no better in any regard. I surely would like to be able to afford to spend $24,000.00 in order to take my oh so deserving wife out for a date... but as dear as she is to me, I'd be rolled in poo and dipped in peanuts before I'd take YOUR money to do so. Of course, the reported $24,000.00 was only the TIP of that iceberg, as we all know that the costs of extra security, traffic jams from blocked streets, etc., etc., ad nauseum were MUCH higher than that. Hypocrisy. I'd say that nail was most soundly pounded by you square on the head.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 6/22: Rasmussen Poll Shows Obama's Numbers Are Down

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:53:32 +0000

Yep. From what I just heard, down to his pre-post first one hundred day Obasm from the fawning press. From day one, he committed to a steady decline, dropping thirteen percentage points in just three short months. The "major networks" go to work, and those numbers come back up to entry level numbers after day one hundred. He's right back where he was before the Obasm began now, and I don't think that his handling of Korea or Iran or any of his domestic issues are going to allow him to go anywhere but down. Mark it down, a new wave (tsunami rather than his usual "just flood them" wave of "Blame W." is coming. So far, it's his only known defense. Just wait until he gets his way on health care, and the elderly folks see how their lives hold about as much import to him as the life of an unborn baby, and I predict not only a crash in numbers, but perhaps even lower approval ratings than W. himself had.

I not only thing that Gerald Walpin should still be working, I think he should be given direct supervisory capacity over Obama himself. As to Robert Gibbs - PLEASE don't fire him. There are some days I would get no laugh at all if it weren't for him bumbling around trying to find his own arse with both hands!

If I could march with you, I would, mslisaintexas. Unfortunately, three heart attacks, congestive heart failure and cardiac asthma has made a walk to the mailbox a long hike. I can really appreciate BillHiggin's post. I had my first heart attack on Thursday afternoon at 4:30. Good Friday was a holiday, and on Monday, I was back at my post. Total missed time: thirty minutes. Next I managed to break my elbow while working, got it x-rayed, they said bad sprain, put it in a sling and don't use it for a few weeks. No way I could do my job that way, so I just went back to my regularly scheduled lifting and pushing and shoving. They called back the next week and told my supervisor that I was not to be using that arm, as they had misread the x-ray and it was indeed broken. It took me two years of climbing up and down the back steps to my deck carrying a five gallon bucket full of water to be able to straighten that arm out again. My second heart attack was a doozie. There was nothing they could do for me at our regional hospital, and called in the Life Lift not expecting me to be alive when it got there. After surgery and recovery and finally regaining some reasonable semblence of conciousness five days later, I remarked to the cardiologist that it felt as if my heart had kept stopping while enroute to the major hospital an hour and a half away. His reply was that it had indeed stopped beating. Eight times. I spent the first two weeks dragging myself out to polish my motorcycles while sitting beside them leaned up against them, napping, waking, polishing, napping. Then two more weeks of what was supposed to be a twelve week rehab program. That was enough of that, and I just HAD to get back to work. The third heart attack occurred in my doctor's office - who by this time was absolutely FURIOUS at me for not taking disability. It was at this point I knew beyond doubt that I really had no choice in the matter. In the two years I was going through all of this, I spent a total of 27 weeks out of 24 months in the hospital. There was no way in fairness to the company I worked for for me to continue this, and sooner or later they would have either had to address it or toss some dirt over me. The above is just to say I loved my work. I wanted nothing more than to work until they literally carried me out. However, the pain from a massive coronary is something that has a way of making you want it to not happen again. Do I feel ashamed of taking SSDI? Yes. Even though I paid in from the time I was sixteen on, and even though I paid in at near maximum contributory levels for most of my later working life, I hate it. So I really can relate to Bill's plight. I also recently woke up to why they have been lumping SSDI and SS retirement benefits under the "entitlement" umbrella. While they are NOT "entitlements" like welfare, food stamps and Medicaid, by placing them in that catagory they open the door to means testing (own a home? Too bad. Own a car? Too bad). They want to create yet another class who feels beholden to them.

You've just hit on one of the biggest statements from The Anointed One that I've heard him make. (And brother, I've heard him make plenty). Imagine if you will, an army recruited by Acorn. The same Black Panther types who so glibly stood outside a Philadelphia voting precent brandishing deadly weapons and shouting racial slurs and intimidating voters. All with the full understanding there was no price to be paid for this kind of activity. Now imagine an army of that sort armed and equipped "as well as or better than" our own military. Our biggest hope is that they show all the discipline most thugs are known for and mistakenly hold their weapons like Black and Decker drills while forgetting what it's like to be "reached out and touched" from six hundred yards away.

ALL my collection consists of "one shot, job done, move on" firearms. As for ammo, if they can't stem the flow of illegal narcotics, or illegal aliens, or illegal anything that anyone might want to buy, they aren't likely to stem the flow of "illegal" ammo. As to gunpowder, a fifty five gallon drum of cow manure left with the lid off and a spigot on the bottom will net you saltpeter, finding a mound of sulphur near a railroad yard isn't too difficult, and willow trees to make charcoal out of aren't all that rare. With these in hand, the old smokepole will do an admirable one shot job. You just have to pick out your targets alone and then take THEIR Government issued ammo. Not saying it's coming to that. Definitely not saying I ever *want* it to come to that, but it is what it is.

Most simple plan? Have everyone in the US buy a *real* made in the USA truck, attach cattle slats to the bed, rent a cow from a rancher, run a tube up it's moo-hole and into the gas tank. Burn the methane, convert it to something less hazardous than the old batteries from the Priuses, and solve all the problems at one fell swoop. Puts Americans back to work building trucks, removes our dependance of foreign oil, gives ranchers a steady income so that milk subsidies can end, and gives otherwise underpriviledged cows a chance to see the world. Makes more sense than most of the bull feathers I see flying around from the left.

Just a minor revision to your history lesson. I've stuck hogs with a nice Arkansas Toothpick for the bbq, shot many a steer between the eyes and snacked on the still quivering, delicious, blood running meat while I was *still* skinning it, and once was even enticed into a SW MS boar hunt which consisted of cornering a wild hog (yep, tusks and all), wading into the brush and sticking him on his own grounds. (Dang I missed my .44 right about then). HOWEVER, while Sam Adams Boston Lager is my favorite beer, I will confess to liking that there lime beer too. And like my beef, I prefer my fish raw. In a pinch, I *can* use the chopsticks to kill with. lmao. Funny stuff there, Don.

We saw how long it took them to fry Timothy McVeigh. I have no problem with that, after what he did to the Murrah Building and all the innocent children and grown ups in that building. Who cares to take odds that THIS domestic terrorist doesn't get the needle in *nearly* the same time frame as McVeigh?

Recall the riots after the King verdict? I really hope all those good, decent, hardworking Korean shopkeepers remembered to restock their ammo supply. Seems they were the only ones left alone, and I'm willing to bet that should Kalifornia do as you suggested, they'd be pressed into militia mode once again.

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 02:27:06 +0000

What gets next to me is the fact that the we heard over and over and over again about how "this man was NOT a Muslim" during the election? Guess what, suckers. HE says he is. And worse, he states that while the US is not a Christian Nation, it is one of the world's largest Muslim nations. Ohhhh reaaaaallly? The only place that's true in in the US prison system. And that's only if you count "fastest growing" as "largest". Last I checked, the US prison system does not qualify as a "country". I reckon when all your buddies are either there or belong there, though, one might understand how the Bong hitter *thinks* of it as a country.

Glenn Beck - The 912 Project : 5/31 The President's Weekly Address Defends Sotomayor

Of course he defends her. He nominated her precisely because he *wants* to bypass the system of checks and balances that our Founding Fathers so wisely set up. An activist SC = Totalitarianism. No Legislative branch - we don't NEED a stinkin' Legislative branch. All those CongressCritters just gum up the works and slow down the imposition of The New Messiah's agenda. It's perfectly clear that no matter what honors the woman attained in college or during her career, that if she can't read the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and recognize that document's recognition of an *inalienable* right, she missed a class or two. Furthermore, if the plain words there aren't enough to convince her of the FF intent, then their writings are available to anyone with an internet connection or a library pass. That alone shoots her down in my eyes. Throw in the sexist, racist remarks and she should be Borked so hard that she never lands again. But alas, this seems to be the way our elected and appointed officials think they are *supposed* to conduct themselves these days. (sarcasm mode: on) After all, what is more inferior than a white man? (sarcasm mode: off) And if there happened to be a small group of people taking a test, and unfortunately not one black man passed it - why - it simply MUST have been a test that discriminated against black candidates. Or perhaps there just weren't any black candidates *qualified* who took that particular test at that particular time? I know that should I ever need to call the fire department for an emergency, my FIRST concern is going to be the color of the responder's skins... nevermind qualifications. Who wants to save their family or their home if it means some less qualified respondent wouldn't show up in full Captain's livery? And folks, it ain't just national. It's rotting us from the top down. This is OUR village idiot. Look close. He (or his mentally challenged twin) is coming to your city too. http://www.wjtv.com/jtv/news/local/article/a_coun...

Well, sure she's a nut. In the first place, there *ain't* no Roman Catholic priestesses. In fact, there are *no* priestesses of *any* denomination who are following to the letter the teachings of the New Testament. At best, she's a "pick and choose" Bible reader right there. As to the Secret Service, the only two Service members I've ever personally known take their job quite seriously, whether they like the person they are assigned to protect or not. Otherwise, Hillary would be mugged on a daily basis by anyone wanting to take a punch at her. I certainly can't fault them for doing what they do so well. After all, how many people are willing to step in front of a bullet intended for someone they may personally find repugnant?

I personally have an aversion to cockroaches. Can't say that I fear them, as when I see them if I can't slap them with a shoe, I will use the palm of my hand in a pinch. I also have aversions to lots of things without fear being a factor. For instance, I am averse to perversions that were prevalent at the fall of all too many formerly great civilizations (Roman, Greek, etc.)

Sandy, I can assure you that I know *how* to fish. We raised catfish for family food and sale when I was a kid. I also know how to skin a buck and all the other things Hank Jr. sang about. I've raised corn, peas, beans, okra, greens, watermelons, tomatoes, squash and a few things you may not have ever heard of. I've picked my own poke salad, the wild plums and muscadines that my mother used for jams. I've killed and dressed and butchered the steers we raised for our family's table every year. I've stuck and dunked hogs in scalding water and slapped hair and pulled. None of these things are of much help if you are physically unable to do them anymore. I don't know about the heartland, but here in the muggy South, a lady named Katrina came calling. Two days out of heart surgery, she left us in pretty sad shape. Not only had I "darkened" the door of the church I attended, I "darkened" the Sunday School class I taught, I "darkened" the youth group I taught on Weds. nights. I "darkened" the collection plate with my tithe every week. My son worked non-stop around the clock in the church's family center to help care for those who were hit harder than we were. We were lucky enough to have power for a few hours after the hurricane had passed, and thought we were going to get lucky. So, I piled into the car and had my wife drive me down to that church (where they had no power for hot water or privacy for anyone to take a shower) and led a caravan of them back to my house so they could at least feel clean again. I walked right past people who obviously, as you said, had not darkened the door of a church in years. I at least strongly suspected so anyway, as they were standing outside the house of God smoking, cursing the lack of AC and drinking hot beer. Long story a bit shorter - in a few days, my power too went off. I was left with no AC, a bad heart, and a wound that needed attention to cleanliness. I hesitantly asked my son when he left to go work the center to see if he could get a bag of ice to help just a *bit* with the staggering heat. He was told "Sorry. We have to have all the ice we can keep here." My wife worked with our Sunday School Director - who also happened to be the Director of Food Services where they worked. When he was in the hospital for several weeks and near to death himself a couple of years before, my wife and I cooked and fed his wife while she sat vigil outside the CCU. When she, in desperation asked HIM for help getting some ice, she was told that he "just couldn't do that." It certainly didn't help when she saw him taking ice from the kitchen home every afternoon. We got by, yes. We DID get help from some out of state friends and guardian angels who sent (unsolicited) money with which to purchase a small generator. It allowed us to run the freezer long enough to freeze ice and then to hook it up to a small window unit to get one room somewhere below the hundred degree mark (something most post-op heart patients could appreciate). As to waiting on my community or church to help, I learned a sad, sad lesson during that time. People I had thought of for years as "family" weren't. Take that tale to long term lengths, and you'd best be prepared to take the old Eskimo tradition and put it to use. Believe me, if I could have found an ice floe to go sit on and peacefully freeze to death (being past my point of usefulness) I would have gladly done so.

My only problem with this line of thought is "what of the thousands of dollars that retirement age approaching people have had taken from them forcibly by the Federal government in FICA taxes and supposedly held in "trust" for them over the past thirty or forty years?" Should these people be thrown overboard? Should their "investments" be confiscated and poured down the rat hole? Social Security were premiums paid in by workers over a lifetime of work for government sponsored "insurance". SS somehow picked up the moniker "entitlement" along the way. Welfare, SSI, medicaid, etc are "entitlement" programs. They pay out money to parties who never paid premiums. As to relying on community charity, I wouldn't count on that if I were you. Not on a long term basis. Lord help you if you become physically disabled before retirement age...you are screwed unless you have personal private long term disability insurance which you paid for out of your own pocket. Had it not been for the decision to pay those premiums for over 25 years, my family and I would have sunk after the third heart attack and the onset of congestive heart failure. I know that surviving for two years while the Social Security bureaucrats sat around with their fingers up their collective as.....well, you know... would have meant complete and total devastation for my family. It's rather difficult to scrounge for your food when you are too sick to go to the work that you loved for thirty years.
