You all want to talk about a lousy deal for the American people well I got one for ya right now and both of these rotten ideas are coming courtesy of our “Commander in Grief” Barack Hussein Obama. Part one of the deal is accept the terrorists from Gitmo into your states and part two is accept the release of all criminal illegal aliens back into your communities.
I have to tell you frankly that this deal SUCKS for the American people. It is bad for us because not only are we going to import 241 of the most dangerous animals who have declared war on our nation, but we are going to put thousands more dangerous criminals back on the streets and into our neighborhoods where they can terrorize American citizens.
It is apparently not going to be so easy for Barack Obama to bring the terrorists here to the US though. It seems that most states and their residents are not to thrilled about the possibility of them coming to their states and are taking steps legally through state constitutional amendments and law making to deny them entry into their states should Obama attempt to place these vermin where they are not wanted.
It is also apparent that most states that have to deal with criminal illegal aliens on a major basis are not going to stop arresting criminal illegal’s when they commit crimes. It will be harder on them to hold them in jail or prison financially, but it appears that the arrests and convictions won’t stop for now even if Obama does cut of the aid for imprisoning criminal illegal aliens, which is what he is proposing to do.
Like everything else that Obama wants to do he is attempting to make himself popular with the world and in the court of world opinion. The reason for this is that he believes like any good socialist that he is smarter than everyone else and that he alone knows what is best for all Americans and that is to please the rest of the world. It doesn’t matter that they need us more than we need them, Barack is a good global socialist and that is the way he wants it.
Remember this my friends we need to fight these policies and the way we do that is to tell those we elected to represent us that they either oppose these idiotic policies or they will be out of a job when their next election comes around. Remember folks they and our government work for us the American tax payer and not the other way around. Unfortunately for us until they are taught this lesson harshly they will not believe we have the intestinal fortitude to carry out the threat of them losing their jobs.
That is all I have to say for today but I will be back again tomorrow when we will discuss ACORN. I hope you all have a marvelous day my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
There are a lot of subjects that I can close out the week with like Obama cutting 17 billion dollars out of his budget by going line by line, which aint much less than 1%. Or I could talk about Obama giving the UAW (United Auto Workers Union) The Chrysler Company, which is no big surprise. Or I can talk some more about the closing of Gitmo, which is exactly what I am going to do.
If my timing is still right President Obama only has about 7 months left out of the 12 months he designated at the start of his administration to close down the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility and relocate 241 of the worlds most rabid terrorist animals. As of this post there has still been no executive decision as to where this scum will be going either.
In February of this year congressman John Shadegg introduced a bill (H.R. 1238) known as the “Keep Terrorists out of America Act”. The bill has the support of the house Republican leadership and it would keep all of the Gitmo detainees from ever stepping foot on US soil. I think the senate Republican leadership should get behind this bill to and pass it in its original language. Many states are looking at passing legislation that would bar this scum from coming to their states also.
Now I personally think that we should send them back to the countries that they came from thereby placing the burden of their presence on the nations that have spawned them. Unfortunately for them that would be a death sentence for the majority of these radical Islamists, which sounds good to me. There appears to be a few countries that would be willing to take the detainees but most of these nations have a strong Islamic radical presence and they would probably go right back to the battlefield once inside one of these nations.
As a result of all of this though I believe that ultimately the Obama administration and his personality cult in both houses of congress, are going to attempt to strong arm states into taking detainees inside their borders, which tramples these states constitutional rights to govern their own residents within their own borders. Of course we all know by now that Obama and company don’t care about anyone’s rights, because they only care about their power to force the American people into submitting to their wills.
Like I said originally I think we should send them all back to where they came from. However if that is not an option we should bring them all here turn them loose up in the Big Empty of Montana and have ourselves a terrorist hunting season that does not end until all 241 of these creatures are hunted down, killed, stuffed, and mounted by any tax payer that blows their brains out. I don’t know about anyone else but it sounds not only like a good idea but fun to.
That is all I have to rant about for today my friends, but I will be back next week with more Simple Man Politics just for you. I hope you all have a fantastic Friday and a fun filled weekend, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Today in Simple Man Politics we are going to discuss “The Future of Journalism”, which is unsurprisingly the title of the Senator John Kerry (D) commerce subcommittee hearing held this very day. Make no mistake my friends the future of journalism is definitely an issue both politically and economically. This hearings subtopic was about the survival of the newspaper industry, which is becoming an endangered species.
For me personally I have a lot of great memories of sitting down at my dining room table to have my first cup of morning coffee, my first morning cigarette and my newspaper. It was a ritual for me as I’m sure it was for most of you a ritual to read the morning paper. I liked to read the front page, the sports page, and the most important page of all the comics.
To be honest though that tradition is the past and the industry helped to put itself there by not thinking ahead to their future and their appetite for the almighty dollar. Along the way the newspaper industry also ceased to be about keeping the public truthfully informed by keeping an eye on those in power for us.
Another unfortunate condition that may be contributing to heir demise is the political agenda and bias that most publications present nowadays. These are the things that the newspaper industry is responsible for doing to themselves.
There are other contributing factors to the failing health of the newspaper industry as well. First there is the 24 hour news cycle created by cable news outlets like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC. Another dangerous news outlet to the health of the newspaper is the internet, where you can find out anything you want on any subject with the typing of a keyword in a Google search and a click of the mouse on the search button.
One of the things that the committee discussed was the quality of good journalism, which some contributed to the newspaper industry. It seems to me however that in light of the newspaper industry and its assured demise that a lack of quality journalism might have helped to contribute to their loss of readership and shrinking subscriptions.
The newspapers argue that it is the internet and cable TV that are doing them in and I agree, because there is quality journalism in both outlets and I am living proof of that. Most of the good unbiased journalists who have written for the newspaper industry in the past now use the internet as a forum to get the word out. Alas though just like the newspaper industry bias has found its way into the cable and internet as well.
Another subject that this committee hearing addressed was how to keep the newspaper industry afloat financially. There was discussion of giving the industry tax exempt status. Another topic was charging for online content. The only phrase that was not uttered today was bailout but I am sure that that topic won’t be too far behind in future hearings particularly since we are bailing everybody else out.
That is all for today folks so have an awesome day and I will be back tomorrow CIAO4NOW!!!!!
You know I have been doing a lot of thinking about how big Hollywood stars and the entertainment industry attempt to shape the direction of our nation in all aspects. They try to influence everyone into seeing things their way on everything from ecology, energy, and economy to healthcare and defense. Now-a-days they seem to support every wacko activist group that come down the pike to.
However I have to wonder how some of these actors of today would stack up to the ones I grew up with. I mean sure some the entertainers we watch today are very good at their work and with the technology that Hollywood has at its disposal they can make these folks look even better than they are, but what exactly do these performers do for our nation other than entertain us.
Let’s take a look at the actors and entertainers I grew up with and see what they have done for our great nation then we will compare them to the crop of today’s performers and see how they measure up okay what do you say? I don’t know about you but I am a little bit curious now.
In researching this blog I found fifteen star actors from my childhood that I am very sure will prove themselves to be US Patriots in every sense of the word. After this we will compare them to fifteen of todays star actors and see how well the new guys measure up. Are ya ready to see because I am?
1) Jimmy Stewart served as a bomber pilot in the US Air Force during World War II and ultimately retired a Brigadier General after his service in the reserves post WW II
2) Clark Gable served as a Major in the US Air Force during WW II aboard B-17 bombers.
3) Charlton Heston served in the US Army Air Corps during WW II
4) Charles Bronson served in the US Army Air Corps during WW II
5) Eddie Albert served in the US Navy during WW II and won the Bronze Star for aiding Marines on the island of Tarawa in November of 1943
6) Ernest Borgnine served in the US Navy as a Gunners Mate during WW II
7) James Doohan served in the US Army and was at Normandy on D-Day
8) Charles Durning served with the US Army Rangers at Normandy where he won the Silver Star and a Purple Heart
9) George C, Scott served in the US Marine Corps during WW II
10) Brian Keith served in the US Marine Corps during WW II as a tailgunner
11) Lee Marvin served in the US Marine Corps during WW II
12) John Russel served in the US Marine Corps during WW II where he received a battlefield commission while on Guadalcanal
13) Robert Ryan served in the US Marine Corps during WW II with the O.S.S. in Yugoslavia
14) Tyrone Powers served in the US Marine Corps during WW II as a pilot in the South Pacific more specifically during the Iwo Jima and Okinawa campaigns
15) Audie Murphy served in the US Army during WW II enlisting as a Private but by the time he left the Army he had received a battlefield commission and went on to become the most decorated serviceman of WW II receiving the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross however his other commendations are to numerous to list here
Now let’s take a look at todays star actors and what they have done in the service of their nation.
1) Colin Farrell served no where
2) Jamie Foxx served no where
3) Samuel L, Jackson served no where
4) Denzel Washington served no where
5) Kiefer Sutherland served no where
6) Alec Baldwin served no where
7) Martin Sheen served no where
8) Charles Sheen served no where
9) Emilio Estevez served no where
10) Lou Diamond Phillips served no where
11) Hugh Laurie served no where
12) Anthony LaPaglia served no where
13) David Caruso served no where
14) Russel Crowe served no where
15) Clive Owen served no where
I see a very big difference between the stars that made Hollywood great and the stars that make up Hollywood now. While todays stars may be very good at playing cops, soldiers, doctors, or fire fighters it appears that when they are compared to the stars of just 20 or 30 years ago that while they new guys played the parts the old guard lived the parts.
All you seem to hear from these FNGs is how lousy the US is today. They say we are responsible for everything from Global Warming to the unrest of nations everywhere from Africa to the Middle East. Some of these same people that we enjoy on TV or in the movies have even gone so far as to say they hate the United States and if that is the case then why are they here. I say to them all don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you.
I think the actors I grew up with would be very ashamed of what Hollywood and its representatives have turned Hollywood into and the way these adult adolescent crybaby spoiled brats say about this nation, These FNG’s would not have the good life like they have here anywhere else. I am sure none of the guys I grew up watching would ever utter such hateful things after all they are the ones that paid in blood and sometimes with their lives in order to find their successes.
That’s my rant for today and I hope you all enjoy it. I will be back again tomorrow have a wonderful day CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Hello ya’ll and welcome to the Tuesday installment of Simple Man Politics. As a rule I normally write about political policy issues or politicians. However today I’m going to do something different, something out there on the edge, I’m going to push the envelope, and you guys know what I mean. Todays targets are some in the media or supposed comedians and all of them think they are smarter than us.
Bill Maher:
Bill Maher is my first target for today and deservedly so. Bill Maher is a man who is known for his often vicious political satire and as such he often savages any political topic or figure particularly if it is against the politically conservative side. Since Barack Obama has been elected into office we have not heard even one derisive comment about the President while he attempted to commit wholesale character assassination on former President George W, Bush.
This comes as no surprise to me though considering his known political affiliations. The two most notable of these affiliations being PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) where he sits on the board, and The Reason Project where he serves as an advisory board member. Bill Maher is a vocal supporter of gay marriage and an out spoken critic of religion.
Janeane Garofalo:
What can I say about this woman that could possibly put her in a good light? The obvious answer is not a damn thing unfortunately. There was a time when I really liked her comedy she was a great stand up comedian. In recent years she has become politically active way to the left, which now makes her a target of those who are conservatives or are on the right. Janeane Garofalo and Bill Maher have a lot in common the only difference being is that Maher is vicious and Garafalo is just stupid. Janeane Garofalo is a known left wing political activist and former co host with The Weenie Al Franken of Air America Radios failed radio talk show The Majority Report.
This darling of the entertainment industry is a devout atheist and has participated in a radio interview held by Free Thought Radio, which is run by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. She has participated in the Code Pink anti war march in Washington D.C. Her latest foray into political commentary led her to group all the Tea Party protesters as racists against Obama. I find this to be odd considering there were a good many protesters who were Democrats as well. As for Garafalo I think this dimwit would be hard pressed to explain the original Boston Tea Party.
Drive by Media:
This blog would not be complete without giving the Drive by Media, CNN, and MSNBC its due attention. The liberal left wing bias of the Drive by Media and those within CNN and MSNBC has been incredibly obvious especially over the eight years that George W, Bush sat in the Oval Office and right through the last national election that put Barack Obama in the same office.
You could see it in the eyes of the news anchors at CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and MSNBC they could smell McCain’s blood and were salivating at the chance to get their share of the conservative carcass. Commentators like Chris Matthews, Ken Olberman, and Dan Rather were having orgasms on the air in anticipation of ultimately electing Barack Obama as the next US president.
You know after having read, watched, and listened to most of those people out there that are supporters of Barack Obama I have learned a couple of things that I wasn’t really ready to believe. I learned that most of them were themselves racists against their own race. I learned that those we trust to bring us unbiased political news were not reporting that news they were trying to create the news as they saw it. I learned that none of these people were really any smarter than us.
I also learned that the one common thread that linked all of these people was hate. They hate anyone who does not believe as they do and they want to threaten and intimidate their opposition into silence. Basically they hate the American dream and do not believe that it belongs to anyone who dares question them. Their belief is that they and they alone are the chosen keepers of the American dream.
That is all I have for you guys today but I will be back again tomorrow. I hope you all have a terrific day CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Well here we are once again discussing the issue of our valiant men and women who wear the uniform and how they will get the medical care necessary to treat the injuries they received in battle. Apparently President Obama (Commander in Grief) still doesn’t understand why military personnel can’t purchase their own insurance to pay for injuries sustained during their service to our nation.
Even after Obama backed off from the issue earlier in the year he is still surprised with the amount of opposition to his proposal. “Look it’s an all volunteer force” said Obama. Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn’t compute”. Obama went on to say “I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country”.
Obama went even further in saying “I wasn’t asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in history, I’d have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation’s deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans”.
It so totally amazed me when I first read these quotes sent to me in an email and I was even more amazed when I checked the quotes out myself and found them to be true. I just could not believe that the man who is supposed to be the Commander in Chief of our armed forces would want to deny these American warriors the care they deserve for serving our nation. They get so little pay for the burdens that they bear that the last thing they should have to worry about is getting medical services for injuries sustained on our behalf.
However I probably shouldn’t be so surprised considering everything else that Obama expects the American people to sacrifice for the good or bad of his Presidential legacy, and I’m willing to bet it will be a bad legacy. It seems we will have to sacrifice life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness before this guy will even be a little satisfied. Not only does he want to kill the American dream, but he doesn’t even care if those defending these rights die from lack of necessary medical services.
This man has no love in his heart at all for the American people, but I am not surprised about that because I personally don’t believe that he is an American at heart. I think he is what is name portrays him to be a radical Muslim whose agenda is to drag our country down to their standard of living. Not only that but he wants to have our laws interpreted by the use of international law, and turn over our sovereignty to someone like the United Nations, which makes Obama a global socialist.
I guess those who voted for Obama are getting just what they wanted and making us suffer along with them for their ignorance and idiocy in voting this sham and con artist into the White House and make no mistake we will definitely pay the price for that and look on that day as a day that will go down in infamy. To steal another line from one of my favorite characters “Stupid is as stupid does”. You got that one right Forrest Gump.
I will be back again tomorrow my friends and I hope you all have a marvelous day, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Well I was going to write some about the Republican Party effort to reinvent themselves and their intention to appeal to more independent, conservative democrat, and moderate Republican voters. However in recent hours leading up to the drafting of this blog post there has been an important piece of news out of the US Supreme Court. It appears that US Supreme Court Justice David Souter is due to retire from the bench in June after completing the courts business for the summer.
The information about Souter’s retirement has come to the public by means of a source inside the Supreme Court who asked to remain anonymous because the source was not authorized to speak for Justice Souter. As of yesterday evening Justice Souter had not released any statements either confirming or denying his potential retirement. It should be known though that for sometime Justice Souter has longed to return to New Hampshire and a life outside of Washington D.C.
There were many people who actually thought that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg would be the first to go especially after her fight with pancreatic cancer and the chemo that she undergoes regularly. However she has consistently stated that she plans to serve on the bench in the US Supreme Court until well into her 80’s. Justice Souter however is just 69 years of age with 19 years on the bench.
While this will be Obamas first Supreme Court appointment if Justice Souter does indeed retire it will not give the Obama administration any distinct advantage in the high court either politically or ideologically since Justice Souter is known to be one of three liberal justices that currently sit on the Supreme Court. What this means is that Obama would be replacing a sitting liberal justice with a justice of like mind.
Obamas advantage in getting his Supreme Court justice nominee confirmed is his party’s absolute power in the lower house of congress and his near filibuster proof majority in the upper house of the Senate. However there are still enough of Obamas detractors on the hill to make this potential appointment both painful and time consuming before there is a confirmed justice appointment to the Supreme Court. So what ever the outcome the status quo will remain unchanged at least for now.
That is all I have for you guys today but I will be back again next week. I hope you all have a superb weekend and CIAO4NOW!!!!!
