The President of Smack

So, the POTUS goes to the border, surrounds himself with a bunch of hangers on and makes a "speech" about how effective the borders are. Well, it was actually an early campaign speech aimed at the enemy, well, his enemy, Republicans. 

I'll tell you what the President is really good at: talking smack. Against conservatives or republicans or capitalists. He is not so good at talking smack against Americas known enemies, say, Al Qaeda. 

In his border speech Obama declared that “The Border Patrol has 20,000 agents, more than twice as many as there were in 2004 . . .They wanted a fence. Well, the fence is now basically complete.” 

Interesting. Very nice for B.O. to take credit for 2005 - 2008, when a certain Republican President  put into affect. By the way, how did the then young Senator vote or stand on that issue? Talking smack has little to do with truth, it has to do with making your opponent look bad while glorifying yourself.

Next, the POTUS went on to say, “Maybe they’ll need a moat,” he said, generating laughter from a crowd of more than 1,000. “Maybe they want alligators in the moat.”

Wow, such thoughtful, intellectual dialog.  Again, talking smack is all about taking verbal pot shots at your opponent. It's about the humiliation of your opponent. 

As the time nears for the President to run for re-election, brace yourself for heavy doses of political smack from the liberal agenda aimed at ridiculing conservatives, blaming "the rich" and inciting racial and class wars. 

No Tax Tuesday: Tired of Taxes 5 10 11 Edition

Happy No Tax Tuesday! My original No Tax Tuesday post centered around the idea that citizens need a break from the burden of taxation for at least one day if not monthly. As inflation causes the price of everything in my life to rise, from food to fuel, Happy Meals to Health Care, I can not afford to pay higher taxes just so the idiots who represent me at every level of government do not have to make the tough decisions and cuts where truly needed. I am tired of taxes! 

Think about this: if you live in California the Governor is asking you to vote to lower your standard of living while not requiring him to make the tough cuts he said he would make. More taxes would not result in a better run government, just more government to collect the taxes! I am tired of taxes!


President Obama bragged while campaigning for President that if he was President he would lower the price of gasoline! I believe it is a bit higher, now. He could lower or remove the federal tax on gasoline ($0.18 a gallon). Didn't he appoint a task force or some other time wasting useless group of leaches?  Another pile from the President. I am tired of taxes!


We pay taxes to fund the impotent yet misguiding Department of Education. Has it ever helped? I am tired of taxes!


Do you hear me? Do you agree with me? Are you tired of taxes?

Who's next? or How should we deal with other terrorists?

I am, like most Americans, satisfied with the knowledge that Osama Bin Laden is dead. I think it  was the right thing to do. I am concerned with the future policies that the current administration might follow in regards to dealing with know terrorists and enemies of the United States of America. Since the current administration has difficulties delineating the differences between the rights of a US citizen and those of an enemy, I worry about our countries ability to deal with terrorists who are currently plotting attacks on America. 

Since Bin Laden was not the only member of Al Quaeda who else might need our "attention" and how should we deal with them? Personally, I like the less we know method. Since the terrorists seek, for the most part, to terrorize in secret, I believe we should deal with them covertly. I like the idea of dealing with terrorist by terrorizing them. I think they should fear opening their very front door, back door, windows, or even their pantry. But, I think we should leave no trace. Why? Because I think our enemies should fear not only a massive onslaught of troops -  shock and awe - but also an unseen, untraceable bullet between the eyes.

The world should know, America is an awesome ally but and awful enemy.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!
A special I love you to my wife and to my mom!

Welcome to the 5 6 11 Edition of 
Flush 'em Friday!


This week nominees are:

• Snooty food servers at chain restaurants. 
• People who wear crocs 
• Anyone wishing to appease radical terrorist groups
• Terrorist groups
• Pakistan for housing and sheltering Osama Bin Laden and then attacking like they didn't know
• The Obama administrations spin-doctors for doctoring the account of the snatch and kill operation (which I approve) of Osama Bin Laden. Just state the facts; we went in, snatched and shot his skinny asterisk and his carcass out of Pakistan. Justice served. Next!

• J.H. & J. J.
• Jerry Brown for being Jerry Brown

Who would you like to Flush this fine Friday?

Spike the Football Mr. President

I guess the President is worried about how Muslims or others around the world might perceive the United States of America if he showed the pictures of a dead, shot in the head, Osama Bin Laden. Too late. Who cares. And what is it we want or enemies and allies to think about us?

Going in, snatching OBL from his very well built palace/hideout/compound sent a pretty clear message. Somehow, someday, we will get you and get the justice we desire. Talk all you want. One day we'll get you and your family. 

Here's the deal: The radical Muslim world, much of the world that does not believe in freedom hates America simply because we exist. All they need to know is that if they mess with the US they and their family with them will pay the price. There is no reasoning with people who hate. 


Theodore Roosevelt said, "Walk softly and carry a big stick." The USA is a wonderful ally but an fearful enemy. No cave, no crevice is small enough to hide in.  That's all they need to know.


So, Mr. President, spike the ball!

No Tax Tuesday: Things I Should Not Pay Taxes On 5 3 11 Edition

Image via Wikipedia

Happy No Tax Tuesday one and all! This fine post Bin Laden Tuesday I would like to rant a bit about things I should not pay taxes on. Yes, we should pay taxes, but, taxes like the government should be minimal. And of course by I, I mean we. 

#1. I should not have to pay taxes on food of any kind, because food is a necessity. 


#2. I should not have to pay taxes on clothes, because clothes are a necessity. And every women out there, whether conservative or liberal, knows that each outfit needs matching shoes.


#3. I should not have to pay taxes on household utilities, because they are a necessity. 


#4. I should not have to pay taxes on the internet. Let one place be a haven from the sticky hands of government. The internet is everywhere but nowhere, everyones yet no ones. 


#5. I should not have to pay taxes on books for education. Mostly because they are so bloody expensive as it is. 


#6. I should not have to pay taxes on any money I get back from my tax return because I already paid taxes on it when it was collected as a tax in the first place. That's just the government double dipping on my money. 


So, there you have it, my rant for today. What about you? What don't you think you should have to pay taxes on?
