YOU SEE? WE TOLD YOU SO.

Isn't it funny how all the Lefties kept saying "give Obama a chance" as he constantly fucked up everything he touched? Now here he is with a great opportunity to walk the walk by making his first priority the huge disaster resulting from the explosion of a British Petroleum deep-water oil drilling unit in the Gulf of Mexico and the resulting well blowout resulting in a lot of oil creating troubled waters. He could hve jumped up and led. Instead, where has he been?

Hosting the President of Mexico and giving him a platform from which to scold and insult this nation.

Talking with some sports guy about a basketball player

AND HAVING A FUND-RAISING DINNER AND SCHMOOZE-FEST WITH OF ALL THINGS A PACK OF BILLIONAIRES FROM GETTY OIL!

It boggles the mind. Haven't we told you this jug-eared fuckhead is a nincompoop?

In other news, we haven't posted here for a while, we are working on our novel, "The Peterson Investigation". We would love to give some exerpts from the draft, but we cannot seem to transfer it to here from my Microsoft Word document. We will try to be more active, but the book is a priority. "President" Obama will destroy his own self in due time.

WHAT'S SIOP, DOC?

THE "SINGLE INTEGRATED OPERATIONAL PLAN" is America's blueprint for waging nuclear warfare if - and God forbid - it becomes necessary. Data comprising the latest intelligence estimates of world tension, upheaval, known and estimated nuke cpbilities of various nations, etc; are reviewed by "president" Obama and the Joint Chiefs and thed fed into a supercomputer which then wages virtual nuclear war using several scenarios and spits out casualty estimates for each possibility. It was highly secret until yesterday.

Yesterday, "president" Obama issued a directive stating that the United States would NOT use nukes in self defense in a multitude of scenarios wherein their use would formerly have been justified.

This is right up on the line of treason. Obama has just revealed a big part of the SIOP.

Let me be very clear here and also very careful not to advocate treason myself.

Barack Hussein Obama should be immediately be arrested for treason. He should then be tried, and convicted in a competent Court of Law for treason. And then he should be sentenced to and put to death in the manner prescribed by law. For treason.

Now I know there is but a snowball's chance in hell of this happening, and I m not advocating extra-legal means nor the overthrow of the government. But I am by God saying that Obama is a criminal. Right this red-hot minute, we still have the ballot. If it was not evident before, then unless you are blind it is eviodent now, and it stinks to high Heaven.

THE CASE FOR CHRISTIANITY: WHY BELIEVE?

IN DISCUSSIONS OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS, I HAVE ASKED VARIOUS FOLKS WHY THEY BELIEVE AS THEY DO. I HAVE HEARD ANSWERS SUCH AS "BECAUSE I PREFER TO BELIEVE IN A GOD WHO IS KIND" OR "BECAUSE (INSERT NAME OF RELIGION) PROMOTES (INSERT IDEAL OR IDEALS). I SCARCE EVER HEAR SOMEONE GIVE THE ONLY VALID REASON FOR BELIEVING ANYTHING, Which is "because it is true".

Now, Christianity consists of the belief that Jesus of Nazareth is Jehovah God; that He became a human being born of a virgin and the Holy Spirit; that He lived and died as the perfect Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world; and that he was raised from the dead on the third day, and lives forever and will soon return.

So the question must be "why do I believe this is true?"

Since today is Easter, I think it a fine time to answer that. The linchpin of Christian belief being that of the Resurrectiion. Without the Resurrection the rest is mostly just twaddle and adages. With it, you have the Truth. To arrive at the Truth, you must have evidence. Here it is.

EXHIBIT A: JESUS TOLD EVERYONE HE WOULD DIE AND RISE FROM THE DEAD. This was as well known in that day as Barack Obama's election is in ours. People were looking for this event.
EXHIBIT B: JESUS'S ENEMIES PLOTTED TO KEEP THE RESURRECTION FROM HAPPENING. They did this by sealing the tomb and posting a guard of Roman soldiers on it, in case Jesus' disciples tried to steal the body and point to the empty tomb. What chance would a collection of unarmed fishermen, townspeople and women have against Roman Legionnaires?
EXHIBIT C: IF JESUS'S ENEMIES WANTED TO DISCREDIT HIM - WHICH THEY VEHEMENTLY DID - ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO WAS PRODUCE HIS CORPSE AFTER THE THIRD DAY. They could not, because He had risen.
EXHIBIT D: JESUS SHOWED HIMSELF ALIVE AFTER HIS DEATH. The evidence for this is in the next Exhibit:
EXHIBIT E: ("E" stands, of course, for "Easter"). Jesus's Disciples went far and wide telling everyone of having seen, first hand, His Resurrected Self. This did not sit well with those who hated the new religion, Notable among these was the Roman Emperor Nero. Nero offered St. Peter and St. Paul a choice: Either renounce their belief that Jesus had risen from the dead; and in that case go free as wealthy men; or else maintain that they had seen Jesus alive after the Crucifixion, in which case they would die horribly by torture. Now if you had been confronted on a lie and given the choice of sticking to the lie and dying slowly and painfully OR publicly admitting that you had been putting everyone on, well, if you say you would die under torture for a frivolous con game, you are either lying or you are nuts. Peter and Paul were not the only ones, either.

So that is why I believe in Christianity. The evidence that it is true is absolutely irrefuteable.

A QUESTION ABOUT PASSOVER FOR OUR JEWISH BRETHEREN

Being Christian, we worship a Jew as Lord Jehovah God. And we believe that hatred of the Jewish people is hatred of Jesus Himself. We are reallly chagrined at so-called "Christians" who call Jews "Christ-killers"; as it was a Roman judge who gave the sentence and Roman soldiers that carried it out. So this post is not meant in an offensive way.

What we would like to know is this: The whole point of matzoh is that the Hebrews ate unleavened bread because there was no time to let the dough rise; seeing as how they were going to have to get the hell out of Egypt fast, before Pharoah changed his mind. We rather doubt that they spent a week scrubbing down the house to make sure there was no yeast around, they just roasted that lamb fast and slapped that dough down on the oven. Let alone have a Rabbi supervise the harvesting of the wheat and the milling.

Oh, we are sure that the cleaning rituals bring family and community together, and that is a good thing. But it seems to run contrary to the commandment given to the Hebrew slaves to hurry the heck up. Wouldn't it be just as according to Moses to just mix the dough and immediately bake it?

We understand most of the origins of Kosher laws. For instance, no cheeseburgers. This stems from the Commandment "thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk". To make absolutely certain that the milk or cheese used in a meat/dairy dish did not come from the meat animal's mother, you use separate sets of crockery and dishes. But it seems to us a long way between "don't wait for the bread to rise" and "make absolutely certain there is no yeast within five miles of you".

We are not asking you to cease and desist, far from it. According to our St. Paul "Unto them (the Jews) were entrusted the Oracles of God".

Just curious. You may respond in "comments".

ESSAY: The Rise and (inpending) Fall of the Gun Control Movement in the United States of America.

Recent events regarding the open carrying of firearms in public have erupted into a national news story regarding a chain of coffee houses which has decided to allow the carry of firearms when and where allowed in public by the laws of the jurisdiction in which a particular establishment is located. Those who would like to see handguns in particular and all firearms in general banned from private posession are accordingly infuriated.



I grew up in the American Midwest, being born in 1953, What follows are my observations only. While I am not going to cite a bunch of "studies" and include footnotes, I think one does not need to consult a thermometer to determine that one needs a jacket. And indeed much of the anti-firearms argument is based not on fact, but rather on emotion. What follows here is an attempt to show, first; how these emotions came to the forefront, and second; how it came to be that issues are decided as much or more by feelings rather than fact.





Blather and myth about taming the "Wild West" by banning handguns aside, the first major incursion on Second Amendment rights in this country was during Prohibition when, before the government finally figured out that Prohibition itself was to blame for drive-by maachine gunnings, decided to blame the Thompson submachinegun , which at the time could be purchased at a general store along with a bag of fertilizer and a hoe. Yes, make something illegal and the criminals will be stymied. (It didn't work, of course). But right up until Lee Harvey Oswald asassinated JFK, you could send a check to Sears and a couple weeks later have the U.S. Postal Service deliver the rifle, pistol, revolver, or shotgun of your choice right to your door. In 1964 a Federal law was passed, and has since been expanded upon, which changed the way in which firearms were obtained. In 1934 this law would never have had a chance of passage. What prepped the American psyche to accept the Gun Control Act of 1964? The basic answer is three words: World War Two.



The Second World War was - compared to the First World War, which was largely a European conflict - a truly global conflagration replete with unspeakable horrors. It was hard-fought against truly fanatic and evil enemies, and ended with two uses of a new and terrible weapon: the nuclear bomb. Over four hundred thousand Americans lost their lives in that struggle. In terms of percentage of population, it would be as if we spent today four years in a conflict that cost two million American lives.



The end of that war was greeted with jubilation; and the United States of America was suddenly a world power. To commemorate this, an American journalist and writer made a production called "On a Note of Triumph" chronicling the epic struggle and victory. He closed the production with a poem called "PRAYER"; which here I will cite in its entirety (THIS WORK IS COPYRIGHTED AND USED NOT FOR PROFIT OR GAIN):

PRAYER

(Copyright Norman Corwin)

OH LORD GOD OF TRAJECTORY AND BLAST,

Whose Sword has laid open the Serpent so that it withers in the sun for the Just to see;

Sheath now thy swift avenging blade writ with the Names of Nations,

And assist in the preparation of the Ploughshare.

LORD GOD OF FRESH BREAD AND TRANQUIL MORNINGS;

Who walks among the circuits of Heaven with the Worthy,

Serve notice to the fallen young men

That tokens of orange juice and a whole egg appear now before the hungry children;

That night once again falls cooling upon the earth as quietly as when it leaves Your Hand;

That Freedom has withstood the tyrant like a Malta in a hostile sea,

And that surely the Soul of Man is like a Sevastopol which goes down hard and springs up quickly from ruin.

LORD GOD OF THE TOPCOAT AND THE LIVING WAGE;

Who furred the fox against the time of winter

And stored provender of bees in the brightest places of summer;

Do bring sweet influences to bear upon the assembly line'

Accept the smoke of the milltown among the accredited clouds of the sky;

Fend from the wind with a house and a hedge him who You made in Your Image;

And permit him to pick of the tree and the flock

That he may eat today without fear of tomorrow

And clothe himself with dignity in December.

LORD GOD OF TEST TUBE AND BLUEPRINT;

Who joined the molecules of dust and shook them until their name was Adam;

Who taught worms and stars how they could live together;

Appear now in the parliaments of conquerors and give instruction to their schemes,

Measure out new liberties so that none shall suffer for his father's color or the credo of his choice;

Post proofs that Brotherhood is not so wild a dream as those who prosper by postponing it pretend;

Sit at the treaty table and convoy the hopes of the little people through expected straits,

And press into the final seal a sign that Peace will come for longer than posterities can see ahead;

That Man unto his fellow Man shall be a friend forever.

And Amen, say I even today. That poem neatly and eloquently encapsulated the feelings of the American people. Enough bad, enough violence, let's try - with God's help - to do good and not evil. Bread and sunrises trump trajectory and blast every time. And prosper we did, and the largest increase in births this nation has ever known - the "Baby Boom" - gave us a larger, younger population than any other industrialized country on Earth. I am one of those kids, all grown up now.





Our parents wanted a better life for us, one in which we would not have to worry about war nor be in danger of poverty. Noble motives, those; but their execution led to a generation with a large percentage of spoiled brats.





Many families, the adults sick of war and killing, would not allow firearms in the home. Surely, the reasoning went, with our new prosperous society we could train and pay professional police officers to protect us and our property. Surely, if science could construct a horror such as the nuclear bomb; then science could develop means of never again having to use violence. Those who bought into this flawed reasoning were the first "anti-gun" people; and their motives - although not their reasoning - were good. There were, however, those whose motives were not so good.



Almost immediately after World War II began the "Cold War" between the "Communist Bloc" and the Western allies. The basic Communist plan was to weaken the United States from within, to make her citizens soft and reliant on their government, and thus less likely to treasure their freedoms. The dark plotters of World Communism were not the only folks to use this strategy, though. Politicians saw that getting the electorate "free" goodies and "taking care" of them could translate into mega-votes. And it was quickly noted that - as in Prohibition - pointing out an inanimate object and villifying it was easier than actually going after the "root causes". So instead of encouraging community involvement (who had time for that?) the drumbeat grew to get rid of firearms.

A populace whose members were weary of war and viloence proved amenable to some local bans, but nationally extreme abrogation of the Second Amendment was not all that popular. Meanwhile the Communists were frustrated at our stymieing of their efforts to conquer Korea and other places. They knew that, as Mao Tse-Tung said, "Political power grows from the barrel of a gun". And American guns stood between them and world conquest. Consequently the goal of the American left became to instill a revulsion toward firearms in the populace. But there was not a sufficient catalyst to get the ball rolling until November 22nd 1963.

The assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald, who used a mail-order Mannlicher-Carcano bolt action rifle for the deed, resulted in the Gun Control Act of 1964. The killings of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King spurred further calls for legislation and restrictions. The result of these restrictions was an increase in crime in major cities, which responded by enacting local gun bans. In the case of Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C; these bans were absolute or nearly so as regarded handguns for common citizens. And the result was that citizens were turned into unarmed prey for criminals who - rather famously - do not care a fig for the law.

However, by the 1980s people began to wise up. They were sick and tired of being unarmed victims, and several states passed "shall issue" requirements for concealed carry permits. The leftist media screamed that blood would run in the streets, but quite the opposite happened. Also, persons in states such as Virginia and Vermont where a citizen could carry openly almost anywhere with no permit required did so increasingly. The most copious flow of innocent blood was in those places where the strictest bans remained in effect. This was blamed on the easy availability of firearms in the states that had no such restrictions. To call this argument specious is to call the Pacific Ocean "damp".

Today more and more states and jurisdictions are recognizing the "bear" part of "to keep and bear arms". We presently have as "president" an avowed "anti" who still signed into law a bill authorizing carry of firearms in National Parks (where authorized by the laws of the host State). Predictably, the Leftist media has been screaming about an incipient "bloodbath". It hasn't happened and it won't; except maybe a trail rapist might wind up getting penetrated himself - by his victim's Ladysmith revolver.

The hokum and twaddle the anti-gun movement uses to foist their views off on the public has been exposed, and continues to be. Bread and sunrises are indeed preferable. But sometimes, God forbid, but sometimes what one needs (if one wants to live) are trajectory and blast.

THIS IS NOT OVER BY A LONG SHOT

WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SO-CALLED "OBAMACARE" BILL, (Which was originally sent to the Senate by the House as a bill for tax credits for homeowners in order to enable the IRS as an enforcemant agency) this Congress and this "Administration" have crossed the line.

Perhaps the most egregious sin in this dog's breakfast of abuses is the "individual mandate" requiring all Americans to buy health insurance, or else. The justification for this is the "Interstate Commerce Clause" and a Supreme court ruling that insurance is "Interstate Commerce" and so - by the DemonRatz' lights - they may "regulate" it by FORCING PEOPLE TO BUY IT.

THIS IS NAKED ABUSE OF POWER AND LEGISLATIVE FRAUD.

Virginia is poised to file a lawsuit against this as soon as "President" Obama signs it.

Enjoy that champagne you toasted with last night, Ratz. This isn't over, and it will not be until this bill is dead and you are out of office. Assholes.

THIS MAY EXPLAIN HIOW WE WOUND UP WITH OBAMA, PPELOSI AND REID

THIS MORNING WE EXPERIENCED SOME TROUBLE WITH TH TAXICAB, So we decided to get on the net and do a few things.

It crossed our mind that it might be amusing to googlle "poop a doop". So we did. 105,000 hits came up. Really. For "poop a doop".

One guy even has a blog called "Poop There It Is" wherein he discusses the color and consistency of his - well, you know; as well as the food combinagtions tht produced those characteristics. Believe us, there are some things we don't want to know.

Cripes. No wonder we are in trouble.
