Godwin’s law revisited

In our previous immigration discussion, Godwin’s Law was invoked. Was I merely being hysterical with my Nazi analogy? Here’s an interesting look at what some prominent right-wing websites are saying about expelling immigrants: Not only will it work, but one can easily estimate how long it would take. If it took the Germans less than […]

Automotive Future…..

Does anyone think that the automotive manufacturers are going to offer any viable alternatives to the dinosaur-powered models on the market now?….. I don’t see anything that would make any major impact coming out in the near future….. I’m still seeing ads for big V-8’s and large SUV’s from all the manufacturers….. Granted, I’m a […]

Like the FBI….and the CIA…Dig it

I don’t believe I have ever witnessed a regime that will influence the (mis) direction of our country as much as this one. GW has appointed not one, but two supreme court justices, which greatly influences our civil rights, moral fiber and laws. He appointed the successor to Greenspan, which greatly impacts the financial direction […]

Immigrants or Illegal Aliens?……

I see the news media, in their infinite intelligence, are now calling all the illegal aliens we have immigrants!….. I think everyone on the blog knows my feelings about this subject from my previous posts – Border Patrol Officers and I don’t want to live in Mexico …… I was just wondering if anyone else […]

When Will They Ever Learn?

U.S. military and Bush Administration civilian officials confirmed, U.S. forces have invaded Syria and engaged in combat with Syrian forces. An unknown number of Syrians are acknowledged to have been killed; the number of Americans – if any – who have died so far has not yet been revealed by the U.S. sources, who, by […]

Sound familiar?

By David Ruppe N E W Y O R K, May 1, 2001 In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible […]

Coincidence or Stranger than Fiction?

Just ran across this tidbit of info. Me thinks we’re all bozos on this bus. Either that or have entered the Twilight Zone? Anyone believe in fate? Superstitions? Occult? Black Magic? Abra Cadabra? I Dream of Jeannie? Supernatural? The Holocaust? Do you believe in Magic? Lovin’ Spoonful? I could go on, but I’ll spare you […]

How Many Laws?…..

These people we call “Law-Makers”, i.e., Senators and Representatives, just what do they do with their time and why are they on the tax-payers payroll?….. I mean, the United States has had a constitution for over 200 years now…. Have you ever thought of how many laws you could write in 200 years!?…. I’m surprised […]

April One Petition….

I hereby propose that we make “April Fool’s Day” a National holiday….. You can celebrate the “Fools” that are in political office, or the “Fools” that put them there….. I know this will cause problems with our current system of placing almost all of our National holidays on Mondays, but we could do away with […]

TERRORISM

I found this cool t-shirt in Santa Fe last week. I’m not an Apache, but a card-carrying Choctaw. Still, I sort of identify with these four “dudes”. My people signed the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek and shuffled off to OK. I guess Mississippi wasn’t worth fighting for. And as for the date, Columbus wasn’t […]

The Seperation of Business and State

An Idea brought up in the last post “The Price of Tea…” Some of you have said that if we shift the current power base from the Rep’s to the Dem’s etc.. Rather than take that subject thread another direction. I would like to hear from you about how we could possibly separate big business […]

Why I’m Not Rich……..

Here’s the question: Why aren’t all the smart people rich? The Answer: The basic problem with the free enterprise system is that it often rewards the wrong people with the money…… As economist Walter Bagehot pointed out,“At particular times a great deal of stupid people have a great deal of stupid money.” I’m really poor…. […]

Inane Drivel Post #1

If Bush were a “Rock Star”, would he: A. Play guitar B. Play air guitar C. Be an off-key back-up singer D. Dress like Michael Jackson E. Be Michael Jackson F. All of the above (except A)

Church and State

I Quote: Amendment # 1 of the Constitution of the United States of America “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ” That means that the state shall not establish an state sponsored religion, they shall respect ALL RELIGIONS and make them all feel welcome in […]

An Award and observation…..

I hereby award J.J. the nickel-plated copper star award with the Presidential Seal imprint for having the most (so far) comments (24) on individual post entitled The Next Prez – a political quagmire of simplicity……… As an appropriate ending comment to that post, which will undoubtedly start a new onslaught of comments, I submit this […]
