More Idiocy

Christmas trees ‘make non-Christians feel excluded’
Christmas trees should be removed from public places to avoid making non-Christians feel “excluded”, scientists have suggested.

Un-freaking-incredible. What baloney, bull, shinola.

UPDATEx3: Freedom to Communicate At Risk?

Posted on December 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

Otherwise referred to as “Net Neutrality.” Tell me, what is wrong with the internet now?
I mean, other than those areas that one could restrict (if you felt necesssary AND if you would purchase software to protect your kids from) ………

Well, tomorrow the FCC will attempt to regulate the internet. I suspect they didn’t care to read the letter from the U.S. Senate.

UPDATE: Here’s how the FCC decision to implement this “net neutrality” may cost us. Yeah, this definitely needs to be challenged in court. This administration’s goal is clearly intended to drain us of most, if not all, of our discretionary income.

UPDATEx2: Another look at additional problems with this forthcoming regulation and its side-effects by the Washington Post.
Here’s one paragraph that explains the intrusiveness:

Discouragingly, the FCC is intervening to regulate the Internet because it wants to, not because it needs to. Preserving the openness and freedom of the Internet is non-negotiable; it is a bedrock principle shared by all in the Internet economy. No government action is necessary to preserve it. Acting only on speculative concerns about network operators and contrary to a decade of industry practice, the FCC is moving forward aggressively without real evidence of systemic competitive harms to cure, markets to fix or consumers to help.

UPDATEx3: Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) explained on Hannity and her website how the FCC Internet Grab will be put right by the incoming GOP.
It can’t happen soon enough. What’s more, she did an excellent job in explaining the consequences of the FCC’s actions.

And an opinion at the Denver Post:

UPDATEx2: Idiocy Knows No Bounds

Posted on December 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

DHS Head Jammit Napolitano now claims a burning need to battle climate change as a security issue.

Who told her to jump out of the frying pan? Or, into it? What does temperature have to do with Homeland Security?
I mean, other than raising the heat under our collars????

Hint: Try collaring the bad guys and illegal aliens, Jammit.

UPDATE: What a load of crapola. I call BULL.

UPDATEx2: Apparently, Jammit just doesn’t get it. Her job that is. Here’s why – the family of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry slammed DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano during the funeral of their son who was murdered while protecting the Arizona border, Tuesday evening Dec. 14, 2010. And Jammit’s response? Utterly despicable.

All Your Food Are Belong To Us

Posted on December 20, 2010 | Leave a comment

Thanks to the Senate, passing SB 510 late night last night (Sunday).
(Can we kick them out now, instead of having to wait until January??)

They did this, after objecting to the fact he Senate passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act on Nov. 30 by a vote of 73-25. But the bill was later invalidated by a technical objection because it was a revenue-raising measure that did not originate in the House — Senate staff had failed to substitute the food safety language into a House-originated bill.

(Imagine that. I don’t recall they had an objection when they passed that tax bill – before sending it to the House. Will wonders never cease.)

Impact on small family farms, and the 10 biggest lies about this SB 510.

Here is the Bill itself – for your reading pleasure.

Oh, and these, too:
S. 384 & H.R. 3077 & H.R. 2749 I

$1.1T Spending Bill Oinking Its Way to the Floor

Posted on December 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

Tomorrow. Wednesday. The Ides of December.

This is the funding for the monstrosity known as Obamacare. It is ladeen with Pork, aka earmarks (as I heard on the Sean Hannity raadio show this day around 4 to 5pm). I agree with Don Surber’s post about Boehner’s call to the POTUS to veto it.

Crank up the phone lines, folks, this is the flip the Congress is giving us for Christmas because of our rising interest and activism in our Republic Government.

It is no coincidence that this is coming on the heels of Federal Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling about individuals having to purchase insurance (when the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution does not, and never did, claim regulating commerce extends beyond the state level).

Congress wants to send us a message? Well, pick up the phone and send them one also.

Other sites on this issue:
Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit

Hot Air shows an update that indicates the earmark count is now near 6,500 earmarks in all totaling $8.3 billion in all, at least.
When the POTUS first bragged about Congress passing the Healthcare (Obamacare) bill, he expressed happiness that they “included no earmarks.” Okay, POTUS, now is the time to express your dissatisfaction by breaking out the veto pen from its mothball status.

From Michelle Malkin’s article:
One commenter, who picked a page at random (877), found that the bill has designated $350 million to create a new “San Francisco Bay Restoration Program.” Others have noted that $413,000 have been appropriated for peanut research in the deep South and nearly $250,000 for virus free wine grapes in Washington State…

Remember this?

A Disappointment of Representation

Posted on December 14, 2010 | Leave a comment

Can’t say I am thrilled about Rep. Steny Hoyer winning re-election.
Now, even moreso after reading this –

Hoyer: Opponents’ Tactics ‘Poisonous to Our Future’

Video at the link.

At least he’s up for re-election again in two years …….

Is This What the Left Wants Of Us?

Posted on December 10, 2010 | Leave a comment

Frankly, it might be. Question is, how do we avoid falling into such a trap? Can we keep from sniping at each other and truly focus on the real problems in a controlled, professional manner? We need to.

Frank Luntz Focus Group Erupts Over Obama’s ‘Hostage’ Comment (Video)

My point, don’t let “just words” from an official (POTUS or otherwise) drive you to a point of no return in anger. It simply gives them the edge. And if you want to win the argument, keep a cool head.

Employees that are union members, get ready for losing your right to a secret ballot. This could be heading your way, as it has for others already.

UPDATEx2: What The Dickens Is Wrong With This Guy?

Posted on December 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

I refer to Al Not-so-Sharpton. A supposed preacher from what I have heard.

Apparently he has a major beef about Rush Limbaugh and wants him off the air so bad that he, and whoever follows him, wants to harangue the FCC until he gets his way.

Well. So much for turning the other cheek or forgiving someone for they know not what they do. (Psst, Al, are you Christian? At all?)

If thine ear offend thee, Al, turn off the radio. Over the top? It’s radio. Not a crowded movie theater and Mr. Limbaugh isn’t shouting FIRE.

UPDATE: HOTAIRPUNDIT has a video (somewhat old) but it underscores the hypocrisy of the reverend. Pity. He can’t escape this one. Nope.

UPDATEx2: Again? Or, still? Sheesh, Al. Learn something already.
