This Should Scare the Hell Out of You
January 21st, 2009
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who chairs the panel, pressed Jackson on whether she would back measures to start regulating carbon dioxide, such as a finding that CO2 emissions endanger public health and welfare and a waiver allowing California and other states to impose their own regulations on greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles. Boxer’s staff even prepared a “Report on the Tools Available Under the Clean Air Act to Immediately Reduce Global Warming Pollution” outlining how Jackson could do so.
The scary part of this paragraph are these words “a finding that CO2 emissions endanger public health and welfare”.
They are talking about labeling carbon dioxide as a pollutant. This is the end game for the global warming lunatics. Our government could actually label what we exhale in every breathe as a poisonous pollutant that must be controlled. This would put it up there with things like chlorofluorocarbons and mercury.
Such a finding would give the EPA free reign to regulate everything in our economy without congressional approval. Not that congressional approval is all that important, in the Democrat controlled legislature now-a-days. If they do this, this recession will look like a tea party, and the Kyoto protocol will seem like a wishful dream.

Obama’s Executive Orders
January 21st, 2009
All of the new President’s executive orders will be published here.
One of the first he will likely create will rescind President Bush’s order which made it illegal for federal aid money to be given to foreign abortion operations. President Obama wants to make sure that all of us taxpayers get to spend some of our hard-earned cash on murdering foreign babies.
It isn’t enough to fund abortion, which many of us are totally against, here in States. We need to export this culture of death and destruction to all foreign lands, so every citizen get’s to have a hand in the fun of infanticide.
The moral depravity of such abortion lovers as Obama, is something that I will never understand. It is not enough for the procedure simply to be legal. They just have to do everything they can to make certain, that everyone that could possibly want to kill their child, has the opportunity to do so. We have welfare abortions in this country, and I am sick of being forced to contribute to a practice that goes against everything I stand for.

Texas Has Stepped Up
January 21st, 2009
In the post about the little girl that was killed by the dog, I said that laws need to be strengthened to punish dog owners who are neglectful, when their dog maims or kills someone.
I did not know this, but Texas has just such a law, and it has been used for the first time to send two people to prison.
Tanner Monk, 7, was mauled to death by four dogs owned by Crystal Watson and her fiance, Jack Smith.
The couple, now free on an appeals bond, are the first sent to prison under “Lillian’s law,” named for Lillian Stiles, who also was killed by a pack of dogs.
The legislation is an effort to reduce the incidence of maulings by locking up the owners.
They were never agressive; never seen them agressive,” Watson said. “Never bit no one.”
That doesn’t matter.
Watson and Smith’s four four pit bulls savagely attacked Tanner Monk last May near his home outside Breckenridge.
By the time medics reached the little boy, there was nothing they could do for him. He was already dead.
The scene was so gruesome that even seasoned emergency responders broke down and cried.
“Oh, it was terrible,” said Stephens County Deputy Caleb Hodges. “Something you can’t even imagine unless you’ve seen the pictures.”
Hodges said responding lawmen had to shoot two of the dogs to protect themselves; the other two were captured and euthanized.
Crystal Watson said she didn’t think twice about how her dogs were kept. “We lived out in the country. Everyone’s dog ran loose — not just ours,” she said.
But under Lillian’s law, if dogs get off their property and make an “unprovoked” attack, owners now face up to 20 years in prison.
Steve Bristow prosecuted the Tanner Monk case, and summed it up in four short sentences: “They had dogs. They didn’t secure them. They caused a death. They went to prison.”
Good. It is a tough lesson to learn, but you have to be responsible for your dogs, especially if you have large breeds that are more than capable of doing significant damage. In this case, these people, had a pack of pit bulls they allowed to roam the area. Stupid, and tragic.

Dark Days Ahead
January 20th, 2009
This does not come easy. I have been trying to construct this post for weeks now, and finally it must be done today. It is more a stream of consciousness than anything, so please read it as that. We are in for Dark Days ahead folks. For all true freedom loving Americans, today will be remembered as not a day of hope and change, but a day that represents the beginning of more governmental tyranny, and less freedom. The day we took a step back from the boldness of self determination, and real personal responsibility.
In a few hours President Obama will be a reality. He will bring his big government sycophants back into power in the executive branch in our government, and they will proceed to regulate us into oblivion, all the time promising it is for our own good.
I have been struggling with something over the last month or so, and it has to be shared now. Currently my reading time is taken up with the voluminous Atlas Shrugged. The book is a novel that illustrates the philosophy of Ayn Rand. Her ideas are collectively known as objectivism. While there is much I agree with her on, there is a whole lot that I don’t.
Rand believed that altruism was evil. She thought that no man had a responsibility to help another, nor should he wish to. For her, producing something worthwhile was the most important thing a man could do, so she idolized successful entrepreneurs. A man’s worth, should be judged by his financial worth. Ayn believed that no man should be subjected to the whims of another man or any God. The free market, and money where her symbols to worship.
As a Christian I have struggled reconciling these thing with my beliefs. Jesus said we are our brother’s keeper, as Obama repeated countless times on the campaign trail. He urges us all to serve each other, and no doubt plans to force us to do so. Many people apparently buy into his ideas, and are actually taking some kind of weird cult-like oath to serve him.
This is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen. Here is some background.
So how does this tie into Rand’s ideas, my own ideals, and the future of our country?
First, I disagree with Rand completely as to self sacrifice being evil. Wishing to help your fellow man is not evil. There is great reward to be realized for being of service to other human beings. Self sacrifice to help another is truly a wonderful thing, that all of us should partake in, if we are inclined to do so. My God tells me this is so, as does my mind and heart. We should not be overly calloused individuals purely out for our own self interests. Giving someone a hand up is a worthy and noble thing. This is one of my ideals, and is part of my morality.
Ayn was correct however, with regard to government (or otherwise) forced altruism. No man should be forced to give away what he has created himself by another man. That is simply tyrannical theft. It, does not jive with my morality, and my idea of what freedom and liberty mean. The government DOES become evil when it forces a man to sacrifice himself for another, when he is not involved in the choice to do so. It is a cynical self defeating cancer, which does nothing more than hurt everyone involved ultimately.
When Obama calls on us to sacrifice and be of service to others, he is talking about forced sacrifice. We are to sacrifice ourselves for people we don’t even know of, and for policies that we are against. We are to sacrifice ourselves to grow the already overly intrusive government into an irreversible, all knowing, nanny state. We will be told how to act, and what we can and cannot do, and many of us will do so smiling in self deluded egalitarian glee the whole way.
I heard a professor on the radio this morning claim that Obama will lead us into the vision of the country’s founders, and the framers of our Constitutional Republic. Nothing could be further from the truth. The man had the nerve to say that we will become more democratic, and this is what the founders would want.
Obviously the man is either not as well educated as he believes himself to be, or he is intentionally misconstruing the principles on which this country was founded. We do not live in a mob democracy. Our freedoms are not to be fooled with by the whims of the majority. Our financial well-being will never be best served by fascist ownership of industry, nor will markets bloom under the thumb of unqualified beaurocrats.
This topic is too big to tackle in one post, and I don’t have time to flesh out my thoughts well. As I said this is a stream of my consciousness. Someday soon, I want to discuss all of this in a more constructed manner, until then this must be sufficient.
I will not bow down to any man, nor sacrifice myself, without my own will being involved. While I believe in helping others, it is wrong to force me to do so.
My freedom is dear to me, and I WILL fight to preserve it for myself and my children.
The Republic must survive, and be protected from the clutches of those that would destroy it from within, if real free men are to exist on the planet.
So, as you watch the coronation of our new President today, pray that he is not made into our benevolent king sometime in the not so far away future.

Tom, You Are a Hell of an Actor, but…
January 19th, 2009
Please leave our marriages alone Mr. Hanks.
Last week while at his polygamist show’s premiere party Tom Hanks had the following to say:
The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen.
Wow Tom, bigot much? As an evangelical Christian I have serious problems with Mormon theology, but, I am not going to sit here and make some weird claims about crazy Mormons doing weird stuff in Utah, and then link it to the entire church. Honestly, this statement doesn’t really make any sense at all. Is he saying a lot of Mormons support gay marriage, or a lot of them don’t? He is obviously blaming Prop 8’s passing on them, even though the population of California approved the measure for the second time.
There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here’s what happens now.
Here we go. Be prepared to see this a lot now. Now that the left is again in power, it is going to be OK to question ones Americanism on all kinds of subjects. Forget the fact that they have been wailing and gnashing their teeth about one or two conservatives saying they were un-American for actually, actively cheering for America’s defeat in Iraq. Never mind all that. It will be correct, when they question ones patriotism for not wanting to give your “fair share” to the poor for example.
Yes, get ready to here that un-American label parroted nonstop for the next four years. Any time someone supports traditional American values, they will be subjugated as racist homophobes, that are un-American. Maybe we can make it illegal, and really teach them a lesson, by jailing those that disagree with us! Beyond all the moaning about our rights being eroded during the Bush administration, the left of this country will do everything they can to shut up voices like mine in the coming years.
A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who’s responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwards. So let’s have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.
A little light can be shed. The people responsible for preserving marriage in the state of California, once again, are her citizens. It wasn’t some vast right wing fundie conspiracy Mr. Hanks. The people rejected the ill advised idea of so-called gay marriage once again. They have done so in every single state that the issue has been put to vote.
There is no discrimination here. Everyone is able to marry a person of the opposite sex in every state of the Union. The Constitution is not fallible. It does not need to be corrected by itself, or anyone else. It is not a living document.
The judicial tyranny perpetrated by your likeminded sycophants in robes may well be extended now that Barack Obama will be in charge. This is what you are really talking about here anyway. An oligarchy of leftist judges may indeed turn our country further down that dark road you call progress. I promise you however, that there are many of us, who will fight with all that we have to prevent them from doing so. We will also fight to undo any damage they do in the future.

Please Go Away
January 16th, 2009
Charlie Rangel, please pay your taxes, and go away you silly, disingenuous, moron.
Rangel, among the worst congressmen we have, is introducing his stupid “Draft Rich Whiteys” bill again. Even though the facts show that minorities are in fact not overrepresented in the military, he insists on pulling this out year after year, to waste our time and money.
At the same time, he has been caught evading taxes, and getting sweetheart tax-supported deals on real estate. This guy is so typical of the douche bag politicos we have running our country. Please, just go away, and take a few hundred of your fellow travelers with you.

This Would Cause Riots Here
January 12th, 2009
The latest nanny state move for England is targeting people’s large plasma TVs. The sets are set to be banned apparently.
They have already banned 100W light bulbs. This is the kind of lunacy we have to look forward to most likely in the new administration. The English are already reaching out to Obama to institute some of their other asinine policies here.
Just try taking away American’s beloved televisions and see what happens.

For the Record
December 8th, 2008
There is something that must be mentioned here, as it has not been before. This is probably the most divisive issue there is, and not much else can turn people into raging lunatics faster than a discussion of the topic. The topic of this post is abortion, and why my wife and myself are against it. This may put me in the fundamentalist nut camp, that so many deride now, if so, so be it. If opposing gay marriage, and abortion puts me in the fundie camp, that is fine. While I understand the libertarian-leaning person’s position on this, I reject it completely.
The issue has never been brought up on my blog here, and was mentioned briefly at my old one a couple of times. First, let’s look at my motivation for being pro life, or anti-abortion if you will. My primary motivation is my belief that life begins at conception. This comes from my religion, like many people. My holy book tells me that God knew me while I was in my mother’s womb. This is enough reason for me to oppose the barbarity of abortion. It is not my only reason by any means however.
Children are a miracle. They are totally innocent creatures when they are born. This is not a reference to whether or not I believe in original sin. That can be left for a different discussion. My point here is that they can not make decisions for themselves, or know the difference between right and wrong. Babies can not defend themselves. They rely on their parent(s) or other caretakers to do everything for them. This is the way they are designed. Their weak state prevents them from arguing for or against their birth. They have no choice in the matter.
The innocent and defenseless have always been defended by good, free, men. It is our duty to protect those that can not protect themselves. Part of that duty is to fight for the rights of the unborn. Those that are pro-abortion claim that it is a women’s right to choose. No one has the right to choose to murder someone else. You can’t take your kids into the backyard and slaughter them simply because you want to and feel you have a right to do so. Likewise, the millions of unborn babies that are slaughtered in this nation’s abortion clinics, should not be allowed to die at the whims of another human being.
I realize fully that this position may alienate some, and I apologize for your being offended if that is the case. It is not my intent to hurt anyone’s feelings, or to irritate my few appreciated readers. There will however never be an apology for my feelings on this matter. Roe v. Wade should be overturned, and abortion should be outlawed in all fifty states. An obvious exception to this would be to allow it, if the mother’s life is at risk. Please notice that I did not say the mothers health. The pro-abortion crowd likes to parrot about the mother’s health as a reason to allow anything. Pregnancy is a health risk. The partial birth abortion ban, would have been worthless, had a health clause been included. Protection for the mother’s life was included. This is an important distinction that is often distorted. The multitude of procedures that are performed in abortion clinics incur huge health risks to the women these butchers perform them on.
My libertarian friends will argue that this position represents undo force, to be enforced by the government, on the citizenry. I agree with this argument on many subjects. Abortion is not among them. Aborting a pregnancy is no different than murdering a child to me, so clearly government regulation is warranted. The government deems murder to be illegal, and I have not found a libertarian yet that thinks that it should be otherwise.
At an earlier point in my life, I claimed to be “pro choice”. My view on the subject was similar to Barack Obama’s. Unwanted children were viewed as a punishment to people that didn’t want them. This view changed with maturity like a lot of my political views.
Raising a baby girl has cemented my opposition. I look into her eyes every day, and see the awe-inspiring wonder of the universe. This is life. This is what it is all about. My soul connects with this child, and the thought that her mother could have chosen to kill her haunts me. Every one of these wonderful children deserve to be given a fighting chance. The thought that my precious little angel could have been murdered by someone purporting to be a doctor is horrifying. I love this little girl more than anyone next to my wife. She isn’t mine, but she may as well be. This little bundle of joy has taught me what it means to be responsible for another human beings every needs. She humbles me on a daily basis, and I thank God for her every day.
There are those that see abortion as worthy population control. They argue that unwanted children will become a weightsome burden on society. If one dismisses the fact that there are thousands and thousands of couples waiting to adopt newborn children, then this theory might make sense in a very macabre, and disturbing way. This line of thought illustrates a depraved indifference to human rights. Civilized societies don’t kill people simply because we don’t want them around. We don’t slaughter the mentally ill, or lock up handicapped folks and allow them to starve to death.
Having stated my opinion on this matter, there will be occasional posts involving the fight for the rights of the unborn. This is not going to become an abortion blog by any means, but I felt it best to issue a warning to any who read this blog. You are more than welcome to post your views on this issue, as long as you do so in an appropriate manner.
If you are a pro choice person, please consider re-evaluating your position on this matter. Our nation is missing millions of people that could have been many of our best and brightest. We will never recover them. This American Holocaust needs to end.
