Obama Versus The Constitution...

Even though a federal court has ruled his law completely void, he (Barack Hussein) continues to implement new regulations. The Obama Administration has not even taken the basic step asking the courts for a stay of that decision. Instead it is as if the court decision doesn’t exist or didn’t even take place.

“The problem is that the executive branch has no power to implement regulations based on voided legislation,” says Bill Wilson, president of ALG. “These actions are explicitly barred by Judge Vinson’s ruling.”
America’s leaders going beyond the legal bounds of the Constitution should be no small matter. ALG’s Wilson had hoped more states would fight against the implementation of the health care law and even sent a letter to governors involved in the Virginia and Florida lawsuits urging them to return to court and stop Obama from further advancing his law.

History has proved that more government involvement and instances of pushing beyond the limits of the Constitution result in unnecessary government spending and if it continues will very soon bury America under a mountain of debt so deep there will be no hope for recovery.

“Obama must cease and desist from all implementation of this defunct law,” ALG’s Wilson states. “To waste taxpayer money putting something into effect that has been found to be unconstitutional is a dereliction of duty.”
Past Presidents have gotten away with it, will Obama as well?

For the sake of America, the judicial branch and powers of the state need to be made equal again to Congress and the President. Otherwise these current years will go down in history as when America voided out the Constitution for the sake of a health care law.

I've seen plenty of politicians and even some sheriff's who believed themselves to be above the law, but most had the good graces to give lip service to what is inherently right or wrong. "Politician" is derived from the Latin phrase "low-life scumdog feeding off the nation's teat", and "sheriff" comes from the Old English description for "gall bladder infection". Terrible people all, yet possessing a modicum of civility and understanding of when to at least look embarrassed.

Not so with Boy Barry. Disgraced his oath, disgraced his office, and is forever attempting to disgrace America, all with a straight and haughty face.

George Will Wants To Untie Gulliver

Americans must say "an affectionate thank-you" to the last century's major social welfare programs -- then sunset them, after those Americans "currently or soon to be enrolled" in them have passed from the scene. Social Security and Medicare should be updated to conform to Americans' "increasing longevity and good health." Medicare 2.0 should respect Americans' dignity and competence by empowering them to make "their own decisions" by delivering its dollars directly to individuals and expecting them to "pay for more of their routine care like the discerning, autonomous customers we know them to be."

Americans aren't living longer' American babies are living longer.

Take my Great-Grandmother. Seven children. 4 died before their 1st birthday, the remaining three lived past 80. 80 times 3 =240. 244 divided by 7 total children = 34.85 as the average life span of her kids.

Was it that bad for everyone? Nah. More than half the babies would live to see 20. The other half perhaps not 10. Her generation had an average life span of approximately 62 years of age. The baby boomers, of which I am one, began popping out to say hiya at about the same time many of the major baby-killing diseases were themselves killed, or rendered for all intent and purpose, impotent. So my generation is living to 77 or thereabouts, and lots more are dying before 80 than my Great-Grandmother's generation, and if her memory can be believed, her grandmother's people lived into their 90's if they made it out of the teen years. Without "modern" medicines.

The moral of all this? Be careful with numbers. My only wish is for children and the elderly to be taken care of, and that does happen to mean a certain level of entitlements. Going back to the bad old days means taking less care of the helpless and I'll personally fight like hell to prevent that.

On the other hand, anyone capable of contributing to society MUST do so. We've all seen or heard of the baby machines, the Medicare frauds, the lifelong unemployed who somehow seem to be forever on the dole. Mr. Will wants to see American businesses unfettered and so do I but never at the cost of reanimating disease and injury and the attendant medical nightmares attributed to the sweat-shops of ages gone by.

Swiss Say No To National Gun Registry

Swiss voters have rejected a plan that would have greatly restricted firearms ownership.

“In Switzerland, where all able-bodied men are required to perform military duty,” the Canadian Press reported, “many choose to take their army-issued rifle home with them even after completing military service.
Gun clubs, too, remain a popular feature of village life in rural parts of the country, with children as young as 10 taking part in shooting competitions.” But a newly proposed law would have required, “military-issued firearms to be locked in secure army depots.” 

It also would have established a national gun registry and made it much harder to buy a variety of firearms.  This in a nation of 8 million people, who have an estimated 2.3 million firearms in their households, “more guns per capita than almost any other country except the U.S., Finland and Yemen.”

Just over 56 percent of Swiss voters rejected the proposal. “There was a clear division between cities where voters were more in favour of the initiative and the countryside where people were mobilised against it,” Claude Longchamp, head of research institute gfs.bern, told the Reuters news agency.

See? Even in the land of holey-cheese them city dwellin' liberals can't stand the thought of someone having the wherewithal's to defend himself. 


One school of thought* suggests that weaklings flock to big cities for protection, but its the sheep sort of protection they're after, not establishing just a larger wolfpack.


*Um, mine.

RIP Uncle Leo

Actor Len Lesser, best known for his role as Uncle Leo on 'Seinfeld,' is dead, the Associated Press reports. The veteran character actor died at home in Burbank, Calif., from cancer-related pneumonia. He was 88.

In a statement, Lesser's daughter, Michele Lesser, said, "Heaven got a great comedian and actor today. ... Thank you to all the people who helped make my father's last journey special, and surrounded with love. The doctors, nurses, and staff have been outstanding, and Dad was in phenomenal hands. His passing was peaceful, with great dignity, and surrounded by those who loved him dearly."

In addition to his widely known role on 'Seinfeld,' Lesser appeared on many other television series over the course of his 60-year career, including 'Get Smart,' 'That Girl,' 'The Munsters,' 'The Monkees,' 'thirtysomething,' 'ER' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' His most recent TV appearance was on TV drama 'Castle.'

Mr. Lesser was one hell of an actor. The Seinfeld gig surprised me because he usually played if not the heavy then someone you liked to dislike. Did his share of movies, too, and must have had a really good agent because most of his films turned out to be classics.

Outlaw Josey Wales, Kelly's Heroes, Somebody Up There Likes Me, and Papillon just to name a few.

Florida Governor Joins Two Others in Rejecting Federal High-Speed Rail Spending

Florida Gov. Rick Scott is canceling a proposed high-speed train line between Orlando and Tampa, rejecting more than $2 billion from the federal government in a move echoing decisions by Republican governors in Ohio and Wisconsin.

The debate has been a vociferous one here in the Gunshine State, but at the end of the day it boils down to understanding the simplicity of disagreeing with the democrat plan to make even more of the populous dependent upon yet another government subsidy.

There is not a rail system anywhere in the world that breaks even let alone generates a surplus, and that means higher taxes to pay for substandard  service. Substandard because, after all, the government has its grubby fingers in the till and everything the government touches is guaranteed to do two things lickety-split. Lose money at a prodigious rate and lose competence even quicker.

Ann Coulter Continues That Downward Spiral With Her Crush On Jersey's Mr. Blubber

For the second time in a week, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said this country needs N.J. Gov. Chris Christie to run for president, reports The Hill.
“I don’t care if [Chris Christie] wants to run, his country needs him, it appears,” Coulter said in a Monday interview with Fox News. “There are a few things he’s a little bit soft on… We have to run somebody and if we don’t run Chris Christie, it’s going to be Romney because Republican primary voters for some reason refuse to do any research before voting. They vote for the name of anyone they’ve ever heard before.”
During her speech at Saturday’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Coulter said President Barack Obama will be reelected for a 2012 presidency if Christie decides not to run against him.
“If we don’t run Chris Christie, Romney will be the nominee and we’ll lose,” Coulter said.
Then we lose. Chris Christie is a liberal politician who paid attention in Economics 101. Nothing more. Ann has not only taken leave of her senses, she's taken leave of me and any support I could generate for her or Mr. Orca, scant though it may be.

Knowing full well that Christie is an open-border gun-grabber shows Ann's true stripes quite well and she is officially dead to me. Does provide even more impetus to fight long and hard to prevent that fat son of a bitch from ever seeing the inside of the White House. Check that; someone has to park the cars and that about sums up his qualifications.

CBS Newswoman Attacked And Sexually Assaulted In Egypt

"...events took a horrific turn for CBS News correspondent Lara Logan on Feb. 11, the day that former president Hosni Mubarak resigned.

CBS News has issued a statement saying on that day, Logan was physically and sexually assaulted by members of the crowd when she was separated from her news crew. The photo here was taken moments before the attack began.

Logan "was covering the jubilation in Tahrir Square for a '60 Minutes' story when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration," according to the statement. "It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy."

"She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers," the statement continued.

This happens because the cult that calls itself moslem considers women to be property and done with as men please. Filthy place, filthy people, and maybe above all, criminally negligent for CBS to send a woman amongst such madmen.

Global Warming And Its Nazi Birthplace

One of the primary pioneering theorists on apocalyptic global warming is Guenther Schwab (1902-2006), an Austrian Nazi.[i]  In 1958, Schwab wrote a fictional novel built off of Goethe's (1749-1832) Faustian religious play entitled "Dance with the Devil."  While a few scientists since the late 1800's had contemplated the possibility of minor global warming coming from industrial pollution, Schwab used Goethe's dramatic approach to convert the theory into an apocalyptic crisis.  The book outlines many looming environmental emergencies, including anthropogenic global warming.  Guenther Schwab's very popular novel was an apocalyptic game changer.  By the early 1970's, it had been translated into several languages and had sold over a million copies. 

At one point in his novel, Schwab opines on the fragile relationship between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.   Assuming the planet has only about 100 years remaining, Schwab frets over the continuing rise of carbon dioxide that "will absorb and hold fast the warmth given out by the earth.  This will cause the climate to become milder and the Polar ice will begin to thaw.  As a result, there will be a rise in the level of the ocean and whole continents will be flooded."
 
Sound familiar? Sure does. You didn't REALLY believe that Al Gore, THAT Al Gore could dream this up all by his lonesome? 
Did ya?
 
Nah. The mindset that started WWII and set up concentration camp franchises throughout Europe is one of the few spawning grounds on earth from whence to initiate such unbelievable nonsense, but lets not get all giddy here. America is one of the few places from whence to GROW such tripe. 
 
Liberals love Nazi's. Nazi's hate Jews, Nazi's hate freedom. Match made in hell. Where, both Nazi's and liberals deserve to spend eternity together. 

Apple Sent CEO To Ask Chinese Factory Not To Kill So Many Workers

After nearly a dozen workers committed suicide at a contract manufacturing facility in China last year, Apple sent then-chief operating officer Tim Cook, now its acting CEO, to visit Foxconn International Holdings and press the company to improve working conditions there, Apple said in a report Monday.
Cook made the trip in June. Details of the visit were contained in the company's annual survey of contractors and suppliers.

So lemme get this straight. China is in essence still a warlord-level society where peasants are thought of in the same breath as lice. Knowing this, companies such as Apple happily do business with the yellow-peril, but every once in a while have to make the journey in order to preach to the masters about how they should be treating their slaves. 

I see. 

Hypocritical sons of bitches. Not that I despise those tree-hugging worms at Apple, but...wait a minute...I DO despise though tree-hugging worms, so they should all die of slow stomach cancers that first withers their balls off.

All Hands...Special Cutlery Corner News...All Hands...

Now I know this is going to be perhaps too exciting for most to bear, but reluctantly I'm passing the news along anyway.

On Monday, March 7, Cutlery Corner will be broadcasting on the ION Network beginning at 12:30 PM. No one on the show happened to know what day of the week March 7 was, but I looked it up so there. Todd and his cronies were braggin' on how much it was going to cost in order to present the program during the daylight hours, but they were lying as usual because all ION does during the day is broadcast one infomercial after another. So James A. Frost kicked off the AB-BLASTER for a day, whoop-dee-frickin'-do.

Thing is, most of his stupid-ass loyal followers will take this as yet another sign that Big Jim is looking out for them, but if you can't TiVo or DVR the bloody thing during the overnight hours what's the big difference in not being able to TiVo it during the day when most of the customers will be working? Us retired folk don't really care when we get to laugh at these grifters, but one thing is a stone cold guaran-frickin'-tee...

Jolly Fat Jim and Stutterin' Toddy and Alzheimer Tommy and Man-Hands Sheila will be boasting about how they broke the ION record for programming during that time slot.

I might even be tempted to place yet another order, even though I'm banned.

So circle your wagons calendars folks. Big Jee-am (Jim) has done it a-gee-an (again).

"B.H. Obama: Shameless Imperialist"

We’ve just watched Obama commit an act of imperialistic aggression against a peaceful sovereign state. Mubarak’s Egypt threatened no one. It was the great pillar of stability in the Middle East for thirty years. Its government was far more civilized than Iran, China, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and fifty other corrupt and tyrannical members of the United Nations.
Obama’s whole spiel to the Left has been that he is an anti-colonial socialist; that’s why he wrote Dreams from My Father. Obama Sr. was a big anti-colonialist. Obama has claimed (at various times) to be the new Nelson Mandela, as well as the new Abe Lincoln, and most recently, the new Ronald Reagan. 

Obama’s ego is Napoleonic. He needs to expand his power without limits. That’s the nature of malignant narcissism.
Civilized and democratic peoples suffer when Napoleonic characters take power. We can’t see the end game yet. This might or might not end in a major war or worse. But we have a riverboat gambler running the ship of state, and he loves to play with the power of “audacity.”
That was Napoleon’s motto: “L’audace, l’audace, toujours l’laudace.” Which worked fine for Napoleon’s field marshals, but not so well for all the defeated peoples of Europe and the Middle East. And in the end, Napoleon’s audacity died in the snows of the Russian winter.
With the radical Obama administration, the United States has now embarked on a perilous course. Instead of keeping the dominoes from toppling, Obama is malignantly pushing them into the arms of Islamic radicals. That kind of gamble has never before worked to the betterment of humanity.
On the contrary: It has always led to disaster before.
Whether Obama the magic trickster can now pull it off in the nuclearizing Middle East is very doubtful, and therefore very dangerous.
Israel will soon be fighting yet another war against radical islam, but this time around won't be able to rely upon the United States for help.

The Jews will (probably) win. They've got better generals and better weapon systems than their enemies, but at the end of the day logistics always trumps tactics and I flat out do not know if they've the reserves to go toe to toe with so many foes.

The one who does know is Barack Hussein. That's why there is reason to worry. The man is the most deranged egotistical maniac since Napoleon and all bets are off when it comes to figuring out what he'll want his legacy to be.

A stronger America? Not a chance. Israel handed to the arab world on a silver platter? Maybe.

There's A New Rhino In Town...

...and boy is it ugly...
Chiappa firearms of Dayton, Ohio has a different take on the venerable revolver. Square. Click the link for more, or enlarge the pics if that's all you have time for. It's okay. Really. The lower link is to a pdf file and since I despise pdf with a purple passion I'm not going in. Any firearm maker that 1) makes something so ugly, 2) needs to hide the pricing, and 3) warns you that you'll need to re-learn how to shoot is dealing with 3 too many strikes in my book. Something new to gawk at, that's all.

"Enhanced Combat Helmet" Takes A Licking And Then Some

Army officials said that recent tests of the so-called "Enhanced Combat Helmet" showed the helmets were so strong that engineers didn't have equipment powerful enough to penetrate them with simulated IED fragments.
"The test lab we sent it to couldn't calculate an [average ballistic rating] because … the test guns they had couldn't shoot fragments fast enough to penetrate the helmet," said the Army's top protective equipment buyer, Col. Bill Cole. "We don't know exactly what the [average strength] is, but it's better than we've ever seen before."
"We're going to have to build stronger test guns to figure out how good it is," he added.

Scuttlebutt has it that the new helmets will take an AK (7.62x39) round at 10' with not much more than a ding and a scratch at point of impact. About damn time too.

Florida Continuing To Fight Off Firearms Preemption Violations

Senate Bill 402, introduced by state Senator Joe Negron (R-28), was heard today, February 8 in the Senate Criminal Justice Committee.  SB 402 PASSED by a vote of 3 to 2.

SB 402 would provide penalties for government officials, local governments and agencies that willfully and knowingly violate the state firearms preemption law. There are no penalties currently in the law.

Certain liberal municipalities...can you say 'Miami' and/or 'Jacksonville'...have been trying to put together their own set of laws regarding firearms. Just like in the bad old days, liberals are doing everything in their power to create a sub-race of humanity, one beholding to the government for everything up to and including personal defense. 

The fact that negroes and hispanic peoples can go out, any day of the week, mind you, and buy a firearm appalls the liberal mindset to distraction; which is why everywhere negroes and hispanics make up a big chunk of the population...all over the country, not just in Florida...liberals are certain to enact severe penalties for their believing themselves to be free men. To liberals, you see, slavery never really ended it just learned how to hide behind laws designed to keep folks chained to the governments wishes.

Luckily for us here in Florida, the majority of us are men of good will and rush to stop the slavers who revel in the thought of capturing then chaining negroes and hispanics who've made the mistake of crossing over into a different county...with...gasp...a gun.

Telling these modern day slavers that they cannot do such dastardly deeds is one thing, but attaching severe penalties to their felonious works is another, so for some of the more egregious instances we're attempting to tack on a $4 million dollar fine for the municipality that passes then enforces such "laws".

Even in good financial times $4 million smackeroos isn't anything to laugh at, and in today's reality is a fine that would be devastating to these present day plantation overseer wannabees. 

We'll let you know how this all works out when it works out.

The above highlighted information was sent to me via an NRA emailing and I tried but couldn't find anywhere on the NRA legal site from which to generate a link so you'll just have to believe me on this one.

Teen Shooting Ruled Justifiable Homicide

Memphis, Tn - "Unfortunately, when you end up in a situation where only two people know what happened and one is dead, you're pretty much stuck with what the other says unless there's some physical evidence or other witnesses."
Tom Henderson with the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office hopes the right call was made in the death of 15 year old Cordova High School student Demario Burnett.
The person who shot Burnett has not yet been identified, but has been released from police custody.

The DA’s Office determined that the shooting was a justifiable homicide.
Last Thursday, Police responded to a shooting at Breezy Ridge Trail and found the teen collapsed on the lawn, suffering from a gunshot wound to the back. Investigators say he was participating in a robbery when it happened.
"Justifiable Homicide in Tennessee is one done in defense of self or others and in Tennessee you're authorized to use deadly force to defend yourself against deadly force," said Henderson.

When asked if a gunshot wound to the back was justifiable as self defense, Henderson responded, "There were multiple shots and determining the order of the shots in impossible. You can tell one shot is here, one shot is there, but you can't determine the order."

He ran, then turned, saw the gun, turned and ran, turned back again and still saw the gun so he turned and ran...

On and on. One does not need to take the chance that someone who is fleeing then not fleeing is going to sooner or later get the drop on you. Not saying this is what happened. Am saying that taking chances with  lowlife scum isn't the best way to remain on the green side of the grass.

Utah Woman Wrestles Burglar Over Gun

A Pleasant Grove woman defended herself and her home against an intruder Sunday afternoon.
The 46-year-old woman told police she was home alone when a man broke into her house in the 700 South block of 1150 East around 3 p.m. She armed herself with a gun and confronted the man.
The two fought, and the man was able to take the gun from her. A shot was fired during the scuffle, Capt. Michael Smith said. The woman ran, locked herself in her bedroom and armed herself with a shotgun. At least one other shot was fired, Smith said.
She called police from the bedroom, but they did not find the intruder. Smith said there is no indication the intruder was injured.

Shootist-Interruptus. Chicken-Fingers. He who hestiates, yadda yadda. If you find the need to point it, you most probably should shoot it. 
Kudos though, for her keeping a shotgun in the powder room.

Barry-The-Tarball Pic Gets Employees Fired

Lawsuits were filed against the Centers for Rehab Services by two employees who were fired over an e-mail comparing President Barack Obama to a tar ball washing ashore in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company said the e-mail was inappropriate, but the employees said they were just expressing their political views and were wrongfully fired.Team 4 investigator Paul Van Osdol reported that the e-mail in question was circulated last summer while the federal government was trying to contain the massive Gulf oil spill.

It showed an image of Obama walking along a Gulf beach with the caption, "Another tar ball washed up on the shore."


Wonder why, I do, how's a'come people weren't getting canned back when Bush was drawn and quartered on a regular basis...
