Another Dead Cat On The Line
Print ViewDead cat on the line - Something suspicious or 'fishy' is going on...
Where's PETA? The Obama administration is massacring "proverbial" cats at a rate that can only be described as an abomination (Obamanation?). This administration will one day be looked upon with the same disdain currently reserved for the likes of William "Boss" Tweed and the corruption of Tammany Hall. In fact, Obama and his Chicago thugs are starting to make Tammany Hall look like the work of amateurs! The latest outrage from the "Corruptocrat in Chief" stems from the blatantly illegal firing of the AmeriCorps Inspector General. Yet another scandal is brewing that has the putrid odor of...a dead cat on the line.
Dead Cat On The Line
Print ViewThere's a dead cat on the line. I was first acquainted with this old adage in the early 90's while living in Augusta, Georgia. Apparently it is an old expression referring to the likelihood that something, somewhere is wrong. Very wrong. I thought about this expression after Chrysler (soon followed by General Motors) announced they would be closing down many of their dealerships. Since these are "franchise" operations that do not represent significant, if any, expenses for the company, but instead represent streams of revenue, it seemed mighty strange that they would have a desire to close any of them. To the contrary, they should be encouraging as many of these businesses as possible to stay open since they represent the public face of the company during this economic downturn that has created such a malaise for the auto industry. Instead of putting the best face they can to the public, they have curiously chosen to do exactly the opposite and essentially lower their public profile. There certainly seems to be a dead cat on the line...and there is.

The Politics Of Science
Print ViewScientists, not unlike journalists, are arrogant people. No, its not because they are, as some would have you believe, smarter than the rest of us. It really has more to do with their perceptions of their reputations. Science, we are repeatedly told, is concerned with facts and data and therefore it is supposedly immune to the sort of criticism leveled at the likes of politicians and clergymen. Unfortunately, scientists are, in fact, human and therefore susceptible to the same biases and temptations that befall the rest of us. Is it then shocking to find out that scientists would cast their "precious" reputations before swine and bias their research in favor of a particularly desired outcome, especially if by doing so they would gain both fame and the financing needed to continue their pursuits? Of course not.

DER ANGRIFF
If
imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then somewhere (hell,
perchance?) Joseph Goebbels is basking in celebration. Certainly the
infamous propaganda minister for The Third Reich has to be proud of the
Obama administration's bold use of his tried and true tactics of mass
deception. Coordinated and "manufactured" stories and pseudo-events
pour through the media daily, all in deliberate lockstep with the
"Community Organizer In Chief's" agenda to remake Amerika into a
socialist/fascist state more susceptible to deception and, ultimately,
control. Consider these headlines which appeared in newspapers across
the country on April 7th and 8th, 2009:

HOMOSEXUALS AND HUGUENOTS
Well,
it has happened again. In spite of the fact that the overwhelming
majority of citizens throughout the country disapprove of the
legalization of homosexual marriage, those who know better have forced
it upon us by judicial fiat. This time it was in Iowa, the veritable
heart of America, where homosexuals were rescued from the oppression of
unsanctioned marriages. Couple this with the Obama administration's
desire to declare homosexuals to be a superior and protected class of
citizens through new and expanded hate crimes legislation, and you have
the makings of a disaster the likes of which we have seen before. Yes,
we have seen this before. You see, our homosexual friends are guilty of
behaving like...Christians! I bet you weren't expecting that, huh? Read
on that you may understand that being "right" always comes with a
price...

WHEN PARASITES STRIKE...AGAIN!
You
can't make this stuff up. Even as the American taxpayer is being
awakened from his slumber of tolerance for the outrage that is the
Obama agenda, the "Parasite in Chief's" faithful supporters insist on
demanding their "right" to the fruits of other's labor. The John Galt
and "Tea Party" phenomena that are sweeping across America is sadly, if
unsurprisingly, not being reported by the mainstream media who seem to
think only the rage of the "entitlement" class is newsworthy. Yet what
the media fail to perceive is the amount of anger that these so called
"civil disobedience" demonstrations provoke in the Americans whose work
and assets must be taxed in order to satiate the appetite of ACORN and
their socially engineered parasites. Read for yourself and watch your
anger rise as well...
When Parasites Strike
Print View"I swear by my life and my love of it that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." -Ayn Rand
The lawlessness that accompanied the campaign that brought Barack Obama to the White House is now escalating as the country's parasites, emboldened and empowered with taxpayer money, continue their campaign to steal the fruits of other's labor. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has put an emphasis on the "now" part of their name by adding violence, vandalism and outright robbery to their ever-growing list of attributes. Meanwhile our esteemed President has decided that the American taxpayer, fresh from being extorted out of 787 billion dollars by his diabolical economic stimulus package, must also pay another 75 billion in protection money to rescue the "victims" of housing foreclosures, lest the ACORN mobs be unleashed nationwide. Welcome to the new "remade" thug America...

September 11, 2008: American Putsch?
Print ViewWith the recession, and President Obama's subsequent stimulus debacle, dominating the media, recent revelations about the true origins of the financial crisis have been (deliberately?) ignored. Contrary to popular perception, the recession and the crisis in the financial markets are two separate and distinct events even though the effects of one affects the other. If you will recall, in September we were led to believe that a financial disaster was imminent. The President, at the urging of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, insisted that drastic action had to be taken immediately or the financial markets would collapse. The stock market plunged and trillions of dollars in value just evaporated. Therefore congress, in a rush, passed the 700 billion dollar bank bailout known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP). Although most of us "informed" citizens are aware of the long term root causes of the financial collapse (the Community Reinvestment Act and the toxic assets it spawned) this in and of itself would not have presented its effects as an emergency of such dire proportions. These assets had been fermenting for decades awaiting a flame to ignite them. Now the revelations are coming forth...

FOR THE LOVE OF HATE: The Prosecution of Geert Wilders
"And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." [John 8:32].
There
is a belief that permeates our legal system. It is the idea that the
truth is an absolute defense in all things. Well, it turns out this old
judicial truth may not be true after all. "The times they are a
changin," and not for the better! The greatest test Western
Civilization will face is happening now in the Netherlands as the truth
is actually on trial. The mere fact that this trial is happening is a
great victory for all those who oppose freedom, let alone what the
consequences will be for the outcome...
The Land Of Misfit Loins

THE LAND OF MISFIT LOINS
It
is becoming increasingly clear that a certain, extremely vocal, portion
of the public defines freedom and equality entirely on how much
"tolerance" they can extort from the general public for their
lascivious desire to promote the unrestricted exhibition and
exploitation of their's, and other's, loins in and out of the public
sphere. It is the classic example of mistaking immorality for freedom,
and in their belligerent ignorance they see modesty, piety and bigotry
as essentially the same. Our failure to endorse their increasingly
ludicrous demands for approval of their "lifestyles" often leads to a
display of some of the most pathetic adolescent behavior imaginable. In
fact such behavior was unimaginable just a generation ago. When it
comes to boorish behavior, nobody, and I mean NOBODY, tops the
advocates for the homosexual agenda in this country.
