Too Busy...

A United States Marine was taking some college courses between assignments. He had completed 20 missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.

One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, "GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform... I'll give you exactly 15 min."

The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, "Here I am GOD, I'm still waiting."

It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, "What in the world is the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

The Marine calmly replied, "GOD was too busy today protecting America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me."

The classroom erupted in cheers!

They've Done It Again

While most Republicans attempted to get Congress to actually FUND the unemployment extensions (there's plenty of money left in the stimulus bill), our moronic senators Snowe and Collins both broke with the party and voted with the Democrats - again!

I don't mind them voting with the Democrats when there is good reason. But this was NOT a good reason - thanks to them, another $36 BILLION has been dumped onto our children and grandchildren to pay, when it could have easily been avoided.

It would have been SO easy to just take that amount from unspent stimulus funds, in which case ALL republicans would have been in favor. But Snowe and Collins again undermined efforts to reign in the wild spending, and in fact contributed to the wild deficit spending spree.

Had Snowe and Collins held fast to PRINCIPLES (something neither of them seems to comprehend), the Democrats would have been forced to fund the extension, and thereby protect our kids and grandkids. But no, Snowe and Collins do not care about future generations, apparently.

And do you realize that unemployment benefits have now been extended for 2.5 years? Frankly, if anyone remains jobless for two and a half years, they simply aren't looking.

Neither my wife nor my "fresh-out-of-school" daughter have any working history for their resume, yet both got jobs the first week they went job hunting. So do not try to BS anyone by saying there just isn't any work to be had.

Here's an example - I know a person who has been out of work for almost 18 months. When the Republicans caused a lapse in his free money, he was upset because "I now gotta go look for work, and it interferes with my fishing." In other words, as long as the free money comes in, many unemployed persons simply will not even look for work.

But whether or not benefits should be extended is not the issue at hand. The issue is that Maine's idiot senators just screwed our children and grandchildren again, to the tune of $36 billion just so they could be buddies with the liberals.

Frankly, both senators need to start being honest and run as the democrats they really are, because they certainly are not republicans. They are frauds - democrats running as republicans.

Olympia Snowe - Hurting Maine Again

Olympis Snowe has said she will vote for the "financial reform" bill. But as anyone with any sense of finance or economics understand, not only will it not "reform" anything, it will hurt us all - a lot!

This bill, if passed into law, will increase the cost of doing business, banking and in effect, touch every part of our lives. Whenever the cost of business goes up, those costs get passed onto the consumer - all of us "little people." It is WE who will pay, not the bankers, not the businesses, not Wall Street. Everything flows downhill - fact of life.

But of course, Olympia Snowe does not understand that, nor does she care. All she cares about is her own career. And for that very reason, the people of Maine should put an end to that career the next time her term is up. A chimpanzee could do the job better than she and Collins can.

You may not know this, but both of Maine's Senators make Maine a laughing stock. People all over the country keep wondering what kind of idiots would keep putting clowns like Snowe and Collins in office.

Meanwhile, Snowe once again will do her level best to screw the people of Maine, just as she always has.

Timelines

I was going through a bunch of material gathered after 9/11. And I noticed that many, many liberals blamed Bush for 9/11, stating he should have somehow seen it coming and stopped it. Note that Bush had been in office for just 9 months.

Obama has been in office for 18 months, and the economy is Bush's fault, the 10% unemployment rate is Bush's fault, the stock market is Bush's fault, immigration is Bush's fault, and even the oil spill is Bush & Cheney's fault.

So, why is it that Bush is responsible for things after being office 9 months - and even after being OUT of office for a year and a half - but Obama is not responsible for ANYTHING after 18 months?

I'm just askin'...

Can The Loons Get Any Loonier?

A California congressman is investigating a government proposal to upgrade immigration detention centers to include unmonitored phone lines, dance and cooking lessons, continental breakfasts, freedom from lockdown and other amenities.

The upgrades were detailed in an e-mail between CCA, a contractor that runs the facility, and ICE officials. The e-mail was obtained by the Houston Chronicle, which outlined the following additional changes:

Self-serve fresh vegetable and beverage bars.
Arts and crafts lessons and movie nights.
Eliminating lockdowns and lights-out for low-risk detainees.
Allowing visitors to stay as long as they like in a 12-hour period.
Providing a unit manger so detainees have someone to report problems to other than the guard.
Allowing low-risk detainees to wear their own clothing or other non-penal attire.
Providing e-mail access and Internet-based free phone service.

"The federal government doesn't provide that for our seniors who have worked legally all their lives, why should we do that for people who have violated our sovereignty?" U.S. Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Calif., said.

ICE spokeswoman Gillian Brigham stated that "any of the reforms will not include additional taxpayer funding."

Considering the government has NO money other than that which they collect from taxes, that is literally impossible, and therefore an outright lie.

You, the reader, may or may not be a liberal, but no one can justify this sort of thing. As a life-long "born here" American, I do not get treated this well by the government. And while the detention centers may not be prisons, they ARE "holding cells" for suspects. If illegals can get this in their detention centers, why are not American lawbreakers, being held on suspicion, gettiung the same?

This is absurd and outrageous. To give arts and dance lessons, a salad bar and Bingo nights to people who violated our laws is the ultimate in liberal lunacy.

I Am An American

I Am the Liberal-Progressives Worst Nightmare.
I am an American. I believe in God.
I ride Harley Davidson Motorcycles and believe in American products.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything. Get over it! I
believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor.
I know wrestling is fake and I don't waste my time watching or arguing about it.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.
I believe if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA .We like it the way it is!
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.
I want to know which church is it exactly where the Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches, where he gets his money, and why he is always part of the problem and not the solution. Can I get an AMEN on that one?
I also think the cops have the right to pull you over if you're breaking the law, regardless of what color you are.
And, no, I don't mind having my face shown on my drivers license.
And I'm proud that 'God' is written on my money. I think if you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, or that Arizona is a border state or that Guam will not tip over if you send more troops, I don't want you in government or deciding who should be running the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years. Either get informed or stay away from the voting booth.
I dislike those people standing in the intersections trying to sell me stuff or trying to guilt me into making 'donations' to their cause. Get a Job and do your part!
I believe that it doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents - one good man and one good woman.
I believe 'illegal' is illegal no matter what the lawyers and liberals think.
I believe that the American flag should be the only one flown in AMERICA! If you must fly another, the American flag should be flown ABOVE it.

If this makes me a BAD American, then yes, I'm a BAD American and proud of it.

These People Are CRAZY!

(June 23) -- "The Mexican government has thrust itself into the legal battle against Arizona's controversial immigration law, joining U.S. advocacy groups in federal court to argue that the measure is unconstitutional and violates the basic rights of Mexican citizens.

"Lawyers for Mexico filed a brief supporting a lawsuit brought by the ACLU, the National Immigration Law Center and others against the Arizona law

"Mexico has a duty to protect its citizens and ensure that ethnicity is not used as criteria for discriminatory acts," the court document states. Mexico argues that the Arizona law threatens "the human and civil rights of its citizens when they are present in Arizona."

Now that's what I call unbelievably arrogant. What part of "illegal" do these Mexican morons not understand? Mexicans do NOT have any right to even be IN this country unless they enter legally. And if they enter legally, they need not fear the Arizona law.

If they enter illegally, they have BROKEN THE LAW. And when you break the law, just about the only right you have is the "right to remain silent".

Moreover, the Arizona law specifically states, in four different places, that ethnicity may NOT play any role in enforcing the law. These Mexican idiots and these anti-American advocacy groups like the ACLU are intentionally coloring the issue with non-truths in order top create fear. They KNOW it will not result in racial profiling, but they say it will, anyway.

I would suggest to the Mexicans to stay OUT of American legal issues, particularly when the law-breakers are Mexican. And I would suggest to the advocacy groups that if they cannot be honest, to just shut the Hell up. If you have to lie, obfuscate the truth or spin the issues in order to push your agenda, then your agenda is WRONG!

The ONLY thing the Mexican government should be doing is telling their people to NOT break American law, and to help control their own side of the border. After all, if they do not want their citizens to be accosted in the U.S., simply keep them OUT of the U.S. That solves the problem for both sides.

As a side note, people who illegally enter Mexico are subject to two years in prison. They should consider themselves fortunate that our laws do not mimic theirs.
