Blue collar auto workers who vote Democrat

Don't forget..."blue collar". That's code word for, "these people work really really hard and they deserve more money than they make for the company..."


Why does everyone glorify this section of the American workforce? Do they magically work harder than everyone else just because they are a "Detroit auto worker" on the assembly line? The auto workers union is part of the reason Detroit went broke in the first place. Now we have these "hard working" blue Democrats who got bailed out on yours and my tax dollars voicing their adamant allegiance to Barack Obama for saving their jobs. Of course, it doesn't matter that their jobs were saved by taking money from the rest of us.

All the while we have the media and everyone else touting this untouchable group of Americans. Portrayed as the epitome of American hard work, innovation, and everything great about America. Now it is Barack Obama's top political arguing point this election season.

I don't see Detroit autoworkers as untouchable. In fact, I see it the other way. They should be criticized. They and their union milk the taxpayer and their very company dry. Then, my god, what should we do?? Oh, let's take money from other Americans (who make less and do more work) to save our company that makes products no one wants. Now they get $7000 bonuses before GM has even paid back the bailout money. This is insanity. And they have the gall to criticize Republicans like Romney for opposing the bailout? These people are by no means untouchable.

The media constantly puts forth this red, white, and blue image of the 3rd and 4th generation Detroit autoworker (also 3rd and 4th generation Democrat) who is the epitome of hard work and success in America. More like the epitome of laziness. These FACTORY WORKERS make more money than cops, firefighters, paramedics, and teachers--(speaking of other untouchable groups...) But, somehow, some way, they are also poverty stricken, struggling to feed the family every day. Living "paycheck to paycheck". This isn't the case, but more the image the media has created.

If you are a Detroit auto worker reading this I could care less if this offends you. There are millions of other workers out there who do much harder and demanding jobs and make less than half what you make. And I am sick of this iconization of various groups in this country and their placement in the "free from criticism zone."

The "struggling" Detroit autoworker. The "hard working" illegal immigrant. The "courageous" anti-war protester. The "persecuted" Muslim. The "generous" celebrity. The "honest" daytime cable talk show host.

There is no untouchable group of people in this country except for ONE: The "murdered" unborn baby. But they aren't actually people are they? 

Recent shooting in Ohio highlights important social issues of our time.

Parents of teen accused of shootings faced charges

The recent tragedy in Chardon, Ohio paints an all too familiar picture. Three students are now dead after high schooler TJ Lane opened fire on fellow students in the high school cafeteria on Monday.

One quote I would like to highlight from the above article.

The father, Thomas Lane Jr., was known to county authorities because of a series of arrests for abusing women in his life, court records show. It's not clear how much contact the father and son had.

This boy came from a broken home. In some ways worse than having no father at all, he grew up with a violent father. And a violent mother adds more icing to the cake.

The bottom line is that the family is and has been deteriorating in this country for quite some time and those who speak up in support of the family are ridiculed in the public square. You don't have to be a Christian or even a person of any faith to understand that a child raised in a broken home will end up with problems.

But between 1995 and 1997, the boy's father and mother, Sara A. Nolan, were each charged with domestic violence against each other.


The father was later charged with assaulting a police officer and served time in prison after trying to suffocate another woman he married several years after his son was born, according to court records.


He held the woman's head under running water and bashed it into a wall, leaving a dent in the drywall, court records show.

TJ Lane was born into a home more dangerous than just a fatherless home. He was born into a home where the (supposed to be) most influential role model in his life was a violent abuser of women. Is it any wonder why the boy who killed his fellow students this week turned out this way?


-On March 21st, 2005 Jeffrey Weise shot and killed 9 people and then shot himself at Red Lake Senior High School in Minnesota. He grew up without his father, to an alcoholic and abusive mother.

-On March 5th, 2001 Charles Andrew Williams shot and killed 2 students at Santana High School in California. He grew up without any contact with his mother.

-On September 29th, 2006 Eric Hainstock entered Weston High School with a revolver and a shotgun and killed school principal John Klang. He grew up with an abusive father and no contact with his mother.

-On February 5th, 1981 Luke Woodham beat his mother to death with a baseball bat before killing 2 more people and injuring 7 with a high powered rifle at Pearl High School in Pearl, Mississippi. He grew up in a verbally abusive home and his father left and never returned when he was 8.

The statistics confirm the correlation between broken homes and violence.


Of course, with all acts of violence there are other factors to take into consideration. Some school shooters are influenced in other ways aside from environment and upbringing, as in the case of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. In such cases where family issues are seemingly non existent other things are shockingly consistent. Most are described as "loners". Most are the victims of bullying. And interestingly enough, most are avid fans of hard rock music. In some cases, Satanic cultism plays a role.

Music lyrics, cult influence, and bullying can all play a role here. But no factor is more important than the home. The upbringing of a child is the seed from which the rest of influences stem. And, not surprisingly, in the vast amount of cases, the high school shooter is the same sad story. The product of a broken home.

To ignore these facts of life is an abomination on our part as a nation and as a society. To paint those who bring these truths to the forefront of the debate as radicals is an even worse absurdity. To let the red herring of "gun control" or the regulation of violent images dominate this issue is a travesty. It all begins in the home and that's where people should start.

The United States is an empire?

So says the left and more and more on the center right.

This is news to me. As far as I know, the United States has not forcefully annexed any new territory since the Spanish American War over 100 years ago, and even some of those territories were later granted independence.

In fact, if you take a look at history, you'll find that the "American empire" is one of the most unique stories in thousands of years of human history.

We are the first empire to invade foreign territory and not conscript the native population or force them into servitude. 

We are the first empire to invade a foreign territory and facilitate the rebuilding of that territory after the conflict.

We are the first empire to invade a foreign territory, and actually help that territory form a new sovereign government. 

We are the first empire to invade a foreign territory and not seize the natural resources that territory has to offer. On the flip side, we are the first empire who refuses to seize natural resources on our own territory.

We are also the first empire to invade a foreign territory with military force while putting an emphasis on the sensitivities and culture of the native population. 

We are the first empire to apologize to the conquered population when our soldiers are killed. 

No other superpower in world history has acted in such restraint as the American "empire". As it stands today, if American leaders had truly wanted an empire throughout history, we might very well have way more than fifty states. South Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, the Philippines, Cuba, Kuwait, the Pacific islands, and virtually any other land mass we desired would be under American control, along with accompanying populations and resources. But they aren't.

Iraq was all about oil some say. Perhaps that was some of it. But why are the Iraqis in sole possession of those oil fields now? What kind of empire are we? We invade Iraq and don't even seize the oil fields for our own benefit. I didn't see gas prices drop and I still haven't. Such an argument was made during a somewhat heated political debate I had with a short, fat, bald French Canadian man and his wife while I was on vacation last month in Costa Rica. In short, they believed 9/11 was an inside job, Bush was the devil, America is becoming an evil "empire", Jews are controlling the world, the Iraq War was all for oil, and Ron Paul is the new savior of America who is "speaking out against the Zionists." (somehow that didn't surprise me.) I asked them how they could explain Islamic terrorist attacks in Brazil, Russia, China, Sweden, Thailand, Spain, and other nations. Of course, no coherent argument was given and most of their "facts" were fabricated conspiracy theory Jew-hate. I also made the above point. If we are an empire, we are doing a pretty awful job of it.

In the early 1800's, The Napoleonic Empire claimed the lives of an estimated 6.5 million people, accounting to 15% of the conquered peoples, including unspeakable atrocities in French Haiti against slaves using sulfur gas.

The Nazi Empire (1933-1945) conquered vast amounts of territory, subjugated them under Nazi rule, and used every available indigenous resource to their advantage. Millions of conquered people were systematically eliminated.

The Ottoman Empire (1299-1923) owned numerous vassal states in the Balkans, imposing strict tribute fees upon the conquered people. Genocide was carried out against Armenians. Bulgarians were raped, beheaded, and burned alive by Ottoman troops. Greek boys were forcibly converted to Islam and made to serve in the armed forces, and Greek girls were forced into prostitution.

The Roman Empire lasted from 27 BC to AD 476. Roman armies invaded territories all across Europe by force and native people were forced into slavery. Some notable actions by Romans included instituting gladiators as entertainment, butchering native Spaniards under flag of truce, reducing the population of Carthage from 500,000 to 50,000 and selling the remaining survivors into slavery, 100,000 Christians tortured and executed, thousands of refugees massacred at Seleucia, among others.

The Mongol Empire, established by Ghenis Khan (1206-1368) was perhaps one of the most vast, far reaching, and brutal empires to ever exist.

In fact, every empire in human history has shown the same thing over thousands of years of recorded history. Military conquest. Subjugation and murder of native people. Seizure of territory, resources and economy. 


Is the United States really an empire? If we are, someone ought to teach our leaders some world history.

Think Sharia Law hasn't invaded America? Think again.

Penn Judge: Muslims Allowed to Attack People for Insulting Mohammad

Judge Mark Martin, an Iraq war veteran and a convert to Islam, threw the case out in what appears to be an invocation of Sharia law.


The incident occurred at the Mechanicsburg, Pa., Halloween parade where Ernie Perce, an atheist activist, marched as a zombie Muhammad. Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim, attacked Perce, and he was arrested by police.


Judge Martin threw the case out on the grounds that Elbayomy was obligated to attack Perce because of his culture and religion. Judge Martin stated that the First Amendment of the Constitution does not permit people to provoke other people. He also called Perce, the plaintiff in the case, a "doofus." In effect, Perce was the perpetrator of the assault, in Judge Martin's view, and Elbayomy the innocent. The Sharia law that the Muslim attacker followed trumped the First Amendment.

UNM student protesters interrupt speech on Israel, get "attacked" by old folks listening.

Protest erupts at UNM lecture Thursday

Nonie Darwish, former Muslim, and outspoken human rights activist was giving a speech at the Univerity of New Mexico regarding the Arab Spring when these ignorant pieces of liberal fecal matter stood up in an anti-Semetic, anti-Israeli, and pro-Islam outburst.

Some old people in the crowd reacted more than appropriately and promptly made them look like the whimpering, cowering, children that they are.

Good for this old man who did the right thing!



LOL! I find this absolutely hilarious. It is the same old story. Radical leftist youth brainwashed by academia "protesting" somewhere to make their voices heard! Wow! "Let's show them!" They protest in the streets. They protest in the universities. They are so proud of themselves for being an "activist", for trying to bring "change", for "uniting" the youth. They make a big spectacle in public, disturb the peace, disturb a public speaker and then expect everyone around them to sit back with a nice cup of coffee and nod their heads in enlightened approval. Then, when someone fights back and pushes them around for instigating the disturbance, whether it be police or this brave old man, they start to whimper, cry, and scream like little babies. "Rape!" "You can't touch me!" "How dare you!" "You're ASSAULTING me!" "Waaaaaaaa!" "I'm gonna call my daddy!" This behavior is so typical. You can see it on any college campus. These protesting Bolshevik wannabes expect everyone to bow down to their cause wherever they are. It is always great to see someone put an end to their idiocy and throw them around a bit with a piping hot cup of STFU.

Here is another video I thought I would share. The beginning of this video is of the protesters BEFORE the old folks lay into them. You can hear screaming, hollering, and yelling from all of them. You can also hear the femmie voice of one of the femmie liberal male protesters saying, "Islam is a religion of peace! Israel is a violent nation!"

Ever notice how the most radical of leftists are always in bed with Islam? They hate religion. They hate Christianity. They fight for women's rights and homosexual rights and then they side with the Muslims? I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

For your viewing enjoyment...

On Q'uran burning, Muslims, and Obama apologies

A mere blog post doesn't convey the utter hatred and loathing I have for this President and his pandering to our enemies.

Let's talk about Afghanistan for a bit. This is a hopeless, barren country not worth a single drop of American blood anymore. This place is a brown skid mark even on the Islamic world where there is nothing produced, where people don't work, and where seventh century Islamic ideology rules all. Today we saw hundreds, if not thousands, of furious Muslims protesting the burning of their Q'uran on a US base. Not a word was said about the desecration of these Q'urans by Muslim prisoners who used them to pass notes. Instead, their fury is directed at the Americans for disposing of the, um--already desecrated Q'urans. Now they are flying Taliban flags. Now they are calling on all Americans to be killed. Now they are killing Americans. These are the people we have been fighting for for so long. These are the people our soldiers have given their lives for. These are the people we have built bridges, schools, and roads for. Well I have one thing to say....SCREW THEM! If we cannot even distinguish between the Taliban and everyone else in that godforsaken place, then it is time we get out of there. They can rot for eternity and suffer at the hands of the Taliban for all I care. I am sick of seeing our troops killed for these people.

So what does our Commander in Chief do in response to this? He apologizes to THEM. He apologizes to the people chanting "Death to America" and the people who are killing our troops. Now, I have to sit back and ask myself, is a person even as despicable as Barack Hussein Obama that weak and indifferent that he actually stands up and apologizes for OUR actions in the thick of this? I can't fathom it. Is there some secret advantage given for this extended olive branch to the Muslims who already hate us? Do people like Obama, Sec Def Leon Panetta, and other top brass in the Pentagon really believe we can build bridges with these people? I don't understand it. I just don't. And I don't understand why someone, even a flimsy Democrat, can't even just stand up and voice a politically incorrect defense of the United States and US troops, free of any political double talk. JUST ONCE. Where are the men in charge of this country? And it isn't just Barack Obama. Look at the Republican field. Aside from a few mentions from Rick Santorum here and there, and maybe one or two by Gingrich, I don't see anyone standing up and saying, "These MUSLIM people are evil. They need to be annihilated." They side step this issue of Islamic terrorism in the perfect way their profession of politics allows. Sure, they say "terrorists are bad, America good" in a safe way. Someone needs to get pissed off, stand up and say it like it is, without being afraid of what the already angry Muslims will think of us. Someone needs to stand up and say "Who was it that murdered our people on 9/11? MUSLIMS. Who was it that murdered hundreds of innocent schoolchildren in Beslan? MUSLIMS. Who was it that slaughtered British commuters in London? MUSLIMS. Who was it that blew up the train in Madrid? MUSLIMS. Who was it that bombed the airport in Moscow? MUSLIMS. Who was it that massacred innocent people in Mumbai? MUSLIMS. Who was it that butchered millions of people across North Africa, Persia, India, Iberia, Palestine, and China in bloody conquest throughout the ages? MUSLIMS. Who was it that attempted to invade the European continent in 732 and 1683? MUSLIMS."


No one will ever say the obvious but everyone knows it. It is plastered all over TV screens worldwide every day. We see the violent actions of Muslims murdering innocent people every single day, whether it is in Thailand, the Philippines, Chechnya, or Afghanistan. We see the merciless persecution of Christians all over the globe by Muslims but no one says a damned word. Do you have any idea the kind of absolute atrocities that are being committed by Muslims against Christians in Nigeria? Or Pakistan? Or Egypt? Instances of violence on innocent people by Muslims is as frequent as the call to prayer five times a day. And, counter to what some people like Ron Paul may say, they can be found in places with absolutely no connection to the United States or Israel. Like Sweden. Brazil. Russia. China. Thailand. India. Norway. South Africa. And yes Ron Paul, Switzerland. Are these the result of blowback? Care to reassess the non interventionist viewpoint?

I would like to say on a personal note, I have seen Islamic terror in the face...literally. I have looked terrorists in the eyes. I have physically touched radical Islamic terrorists who killed people. I have heard terrorists scream "Allahu Akbar!" and have heard the chilling sound of the Islamic call to prayer. And it surely isn't "one of the prettiest sounds on earth" as a certain Barack Obama would have you believe. No, Islamic terror is real and it has spread all over the globe like no far reaching empire in the history of the world has done. My personal experiences with known radical Islamic killers, including Al Qeada operatives, gives me more insight into this issue than I had ever expected and I challenge any other conservative or liberal who is a non interventionist and thinks Islam isn't a threat to debate me on this issue if they so desire.

This recent reaction to the disposal of Q'urans, both by the "moderate" Muslims of Afghanistan and by our very own President bring this issue of Islamic relations to the forefront of the national debate yet again. The choice is there before you for the umpteenth time. To continue ignoring the signs, turning the other cheek, and defending Islam is a dangerous endeavour and an ignorant one. And the apology by Obama today is absolutely no different than the continuing defense of Islam by Ron Paul and his following. Barack Obama's apology to Hamid Karzai and the outraged Afghans is an exact microcosm of Ron Paul's views on foreign policy.

Photos from my Costa Rica trip

I have been meaning to share a few of these from my experience in Costa Rica a few weeks ago so here they are.

I had an amazing time down there and got to see a part of the world I never thought I would see. I saw much of the country, good and bad sides, most that most Western tourists don't see when they visit Costa Rica. It is a beautiful country and a unique country and I can't wait to go back. Pura Vida!

Belligerent passenger on Continental flight yells "Allah is Great!"; tackled by men on board

Chivalry isn't dead just yet in America.

Passengers aboard a Continental Airlines flight bound for Houston Tuesday sprang into action to help a flight attendant having trouble with an unruly passenger. Twenty minutes after the plane departed Portland, pilots returned to the city where the FBI was waiting.

Passengers said the unruly man was a problem from the beginning. After boarding Flight 1113, the man became upset because he was not seated next to his friend.

Then after the flight took off, he ignored the “No Smoking” sign and tried to light an electronic cigarette.

A flight attendant asked the passenger to turn off the cigarette, but he refused. The Middle Eastern man started screaming at the smaller woman.

“He was screaming, ‘Allah is great, Allah is great,’” said Nancy Haywood, passenger. “And it kind of worries you when that happens, but believe me, there were enough men to hold him down.”
And they did. Men on the plane jumped up and ran to assist the flight attendant.

“Every guy that was in my area was ready to go,” said Mark Foster, passenger. “It was not even a thought. You can tell buckles were off and people were already leaning toward the aisles.”

The men subdued the unruly passenger while the flight attendant ran to the back and retrieved plastic handcuffs and ankle cuffs.

“It almost made me cry to see the way everybody responded because the gentlemen that could help got up and helped the stewardess; she was just a little bitty thing,” said Jeanna Wisher. “What happened should have happened, everybody got up and did a part that needed to do it.”

UPDATE:
The man who repeatedly yelled “Allah is great” as he was removed yesterday from a plane that was forced to make an emergency landing due to his unruly behavior is a 19-year-old Saudi Arabian who was arrested Sunday night after he led Oregon police on a drunken car chase that saw him ram two cop cars and attempt to run over pedestrians, The Smoking Gun has learned.

According to investigators, Yazeed Mohammed Abunayyan was smoking an electronic cigarette on a Continental Airlines flight traveling from Portland to Houston. When a flight attendant directed Abunayyan to stop smoking (or relinquish the device), he refused and began “yelling profanities and swinging his fist at the flight attendant,” according to an indictment filed this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Portland.

Abunayyan, pictured in the mug shot at right, also hit or attempted to hit other passengers and was “speaking or singing about Usama bin Laden and his hatred of women,” the indictment charges. Abunayyan, who reportedly has been in the U.S. visiting relatives, was charged with a felony count of interfering with flight crew members.

We are voting for a president! Not a Pope! Beware of Rick Santorum...

4) All public schools will drop current curriculum and replace it with mandatory Bible verse reading! (your children will be forced to convert too )
5) Constitution will be summarily abolished and replaced with ten commandments!
6) all forms of birth control will be banned! offense for using will be punishable by ducking stool or stocks
7) Mitt Romney will be banished to San Francisco with other heathen Mormons and sinners.

9) mandatory for every American home to have a picture of Santorum and Jesus side by side. (any other photos of public figures illegal)
10) Women will no longer have the right under the law to destroy their unborn children! all babies forced to be born!
11) Students in elementray school will be prohibited from learning how to use condoms and instead taught abstinence and given christian purity rings!!
12) all reference to the words "Satan", "cocaine", and "Obama" will be illegal
13) Mandatory watching of original Leave it to Beaver and Andy Griffith every Tuesday night

i will think of more later. Don't vote for Santorum!!!!!!

NBA player Martell Webster's bonehead play

It always amazes me when I see a professional athlete do something absolutely stupid during the course of the game. These are people whose play games for a living. It is their job. They get paid extravagant amounts of money and yet they somehow don't know how to play the game they play for a living. Take Martell Webster of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Down 3 points with 4.9 seconds left Webster steals the ball and instead of attempting a 3 point shot to tie the game and send it to overtime, he drives to the hoop for a dunk, which apparently he didn't know was only worth 2 points.



The look on teammate Brad Miller's face at 0:26 in the video says everything.

For your information, Martell Webster's salary is $5,256,000 for the 2012 season. To play basketball. And he can't even remember how far down his team is, something most junior high basketball players know. Pitiful.

No more diplomacy in Afghanistan.

Things like this really tick me off.

Afghans vent fury over Koran burning, U.S. apologizes

I have been a staunch supporter of our efforts there since the beginning. But I have slowly come to the realization that our diplomatic mission there is a misguided and sure to fail approach.

We should have one single objective. Killing the Taliban. We shouldn't be doing anything else there. Zero. Nada. Zilch. No building schools. No building roads. No foreign aid for infrastructure. Because this is how they repay our generosity.

Protesters started to gather after Afghan laborers found charred remains of copies of the Koran as they collected rubbish from Bagram airbase, the provincial governor's office said in a statement.


As many as 2,000 Afghans massed outside several gates to the base, the main center for NATO-led forces just north of the capital Kabul, chanting anti-foreigner slogans and throwing stones, said Reuters reporters at the scene.


Both Afghan President Hamid Karzai and the Taliban in Afghanistan condemned the incident, both of them saying the values of Islam had been "degraded."

This is how the poor, helpless people of Afghanistan repay our efforts and blood in making their dunghole of a country a better place. Pathetic. Maybe we should leave their country to get ravaged by the Taliban again. Hamid Karzai and his amateur Afghan National Army made up of incompetent Gomer Pyles can fight the Taliban alone.

We need to redefine our mission in Afghanistan or get out altogether. I am sick of this namby pamby "win the hearts and minds" mission. I have went through this military training before in pre-deployment. It is a failed approach. You cannot, I repeat, you cannot effectively win the hearts and minds of a people so grossly misaligned, culturally and ideologically. I am a firm believer that their are no bridges to be built between America and the Muslim world. Bridges free from a suicide bomb that is.

The restricted Rules of Engagement, political correctness, and diplomatic mission in Afghanistan are making us lose this war. I am in full support of staying there and continuing to slaughter the Taliban wherever they are as long as we make that the sole focus, and not trying to win over the people, which have just proven here, that they don't deserve our respect or one measly cent in foreign aid.

USA Today reports...

The military official with knowledge of the incident said it appeared that the Qurans and other Islamic readings were being used to fuel extremism, and that detainees at Parwan Detention Facility were writing on the documents to exchange extremist messages.
He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident.

"Die, die, foreigners!" the demonstrators shouted. Some fired rifles into the air. Others threw rocks at the gate of the base and set tires ablaze.

This, this is how these things repay the lives of our fallen soldiers, who fight so they don't have to live under Taliban rule!  It is time to leave Afghanistan to rot like the garbage can it is!
