We are looking for concerned Americans in new Hampshire to join in an initiative being launched that has been coined “Truth-Boating” Hillary-
If you would take the time to read the http://www.hillcap.org site’s links to the public record intended to expose the outrageous federal election frauds and obstructions of three federal investigations into those frauds Hillary directed to win her Senate seat in 2000, you will see what the Hillary controlled media has been withholding from the American voters- and we will begin a campaign in New Hampshire to educate the voters about the latest and most outrageous violations of law Hillary has been engaging in.
Please review the sites cited above and contact us-
alos please link to our sites- hillcap.org, peterfpaul.com,www.ejfa.org
I have added peterfpaul.com, and hillcap.org to my blogroll, as well as contacting hillcap.org. I would like to help out in any way that I can.
Hi, I do not have a blog, but I stumbled upon yours the other day. My family and I live in New Jersey, but we have always thought that we might “escape” some day to a more conservative state with a lower cost of living. A friend of ours remarked that he had heard good things about New Hampshire, so my hubby asked me to do some research online…which is how I discovered your blog. From what I’ve read there so far, it seems to be that NH was once a great place to live, but recently has taken a turn for the worse. Still, it does not appear to have sunk to the level of socialist insanity we have here in NJ! You seem to share basically the same political views as us, so we would value your honest opinion regarding the situation there in NH. Would it be a good move? How is the quality of life, not just the cost? I would appreciate hearing from you, and perhaps corresponding. Thank you!
Donna (and Tom) Gallagher
Hi Donna, I love New Hampshire. I have always thought it was a great state and still do. I “escaped” form Ma. while I was a teenager before I even was interested in politics, and I follow Ma. politics closely also. We are in no ways even close to being in the realm of Ma. when it comes to politics.
I believe the quality of life is very good. I live in a small town (population wise, area wise its pretty large) in Southern New Hampshire, just a few miles over the Mass. border. It appears to me that the more North you go, the more conservative the state gets. The towns bordering on Mass. tend to have ex-Mass residents looking to escape taxes, but still liberal leaning.
I believe there are more job opportunities in the southern part of the state, but that is just my belief. I work in Mass., as many New Hampshire residents do.
The north country is beautiful as is the lakes region.
As far as Manchester goes, there seems to have been a recent increase in crime there. I don’t know if you are interested in living in a larger city or in the countryside, but Salem is a larger city that doesn’t seem to have a lot of crime, however it is very busy, and commercial.
All in all I think New Hampshire is the greatest state in this region. We are still independent thinking in nature. And have relatively little government intrusion into what I call Nanny state policies. Although there have been recent new regulations on smoking and such.
If you or your husband like to hunt or fish there are many spots to go. The outdoors is beautiful in the countryside.
We do tend to go back and forth between Democrat and Republican governors, and we have had a definate shift to the left since last November. I believe we may go further left in the next election before we turn back towards the center. I am in no ways an expert, just an observer.
I may( just maybe) sometimes go slightly overboard in my call to New Hampshire voters, I just want to change direction before we get too out of control.
Let me know if there is anything in particular you would like to know, I am afraid this response may have just wandered all over the place.
PS, don’t hesatate to come up here, we can use all the conservatives we can get.

Hey, I’m Kyle, and I post at the Vigilant Freedom Blog. We’re working to create a list of conservative bloggers from targeted states (including NH) as part of an upcoming support the troops campaign alongside groups like Gathering of Eagles, and Vets for Freedom. If you’d like to include your blog you can email me at Kyle@vigilantfreedom.com
For more information you can check out our post at

Thanks,
Kyle
Here is the timeline and the info you need to be able to understand Hillary’s biggest campaign finance fraud in history. I have been working with Peter Paul for 2 1/2 years, and the evidence I have seen is compelling. With the help of THE BLOG ARMADA, we will be able to break the blockade of the mainstream media protecting their darling.

Just look at this article and you will see the truth about Hillary.

Dear ,
Love your site. Would you consider placing a link to my new website on yours? I’ve created a new conservative political humor website. In return I would find a place of honor for a link to your site on mine. To check it out, go to:
http://www.dickdoper.com/
Site description: A box of conservative political humor mixed with a couple of gallons of rant, and a sprinkling of editorial commentary topped off by a big can of literary whoop-ass for liberals. Oh, and we got pictures, too.
I really don’t have a ranking yet, as I’ve only been on the Net for a few weeks. So I’m hoping you’ll evaluate my site based on content and not ranking.
I’m a graphic artist by profession, web site designer and closet writer by hobby (no, I don’t write about closets).
Thanks for your consideration and potential support.
Have a nice day and God Bless America.

Roe Buy,
Your link has been added.
We have taken the liberty of adding a link to your site to our blog:
http://www.louforcongress.com
It can be found under the posting: “Some Reference Sources”
We are starting early in the hope of inspiring a grassroots effort to urge Hazleton, Pa. mayor Lou Barletta for Congress next year.
If you could make mention of our effort on your site, and/or add a link back to us, perhaps we can start to get people who have the courage to face this crisis head on elected to national office.
Regards

mpinkeyes,
I stumbled upon your site while trying to find the whole New Hampshire 9/5/7 debate on video. Anyway, I can tell you are an intelligent guy and while reading your “about me” link I see that your two boys are young. I also have young children (15,10, & 9) so the invasion of Iraq is a very important issue for me. While reading your “about me” link I was pleasantly surprised to find that you and I seem to agree on every point you have listed without exception. So this brings me to my point…I too like the fact that Duncan Hunter has pushed successfully for border control and also to limit the Federal Government on where the money comes from to fund the NAFTA superhighway (which will surely change the face of the United States as we know it), but I’m not sure how you can not be a Ron Paul supporter? (yes, that is what I am) Dr. Paul seems to stand for everything you stated you do. I’d love to have a friendly open exchange of thoughts about this with you…
Please feel free to Email me. Who knows, maybe I’ll convert you, or you might convert me…lol
Hi Jan, I just have a hard time getting past his comments about 9/11 in the first debate, they really bothered me. I agree with the of things he says about our constitution. He seems to be a true constitutionist, but I don’t believe I can vote for him. Please feel free to try and change my mind. I am going away this weekend so I won’t be able to respond to any comments until Monday.
Hey,
I’ve added you to my forum’s link page at:
http://www.arguewitheveryone.com/links.htm
If you’d consider the site for your blogroll I’d appreciate it.
Thanks
It is done kneukm03
I was looking around Google and ran across your website. Very impressive! I have recently built a website called NationalPlatforms.com that provides a single source for someone to see where all the 2008 presidential candidates stand on the issues. The information comes directly from the campaigns themselves and completely unbiased.
I believe your audience would find my site very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read this email and I’d love to hear back from you.

Great blog! Sadly, I think the conservative New Hampshirite may be an endangered species… Keep up the good work though!
Thanks, I think we will go through one more liberal dominated election here, and then I think the tide will turn. I just hope it isn’t too late at that point.
I would like to invite you to join http://www.politicstopsites.com/
I know that I am the new kid on the block trying to get started. We have a few ideas
for something a bit different once things are moving. Any help greatly appreciated.
Richard
Hello,
I am relatively new to the blog universe and reached
your great site via “Little Miss Chatterbox” (Conservatism
with a heart). I must say that I am very impressed. I do some
freelance writing for a local weekly paper and debate my
very liberal brother on key issues in a bi-weekly column.
Your site will be a great resource in our upcoming battles.
Thank you for all you do.
Gordon Cooper
Gordon, thanks for the very kind words. Please feel free to use anything you find here that you think is helpful. The goal here is to spread the conservative word. I would love to read some of your writings if you could possible email them to me, I may use them in a post if you don’t mind.
After realizing that the majority of the people of America depend on the one-sided news source of their choice, I have decided that it’s my duty to inform the people. Thank you for making your page since it defends America and its ideals. I would greatly appreciate it if you would check out my blog, theowlofamerica. I have just started it so in the next couple of weeks I will be establishing the site. Again, thank you for informing the American people on the issues they need to know about.
Doomeister, thanks. I will check out your blog, we need to stand together snd continue to get the word out there.
Like to leave my link. Of course I have already put you link on my website in return. I like your website.
Thanks Bumper(ol retired Cop and US AIr Force Vet)

I am a 10th grade student at Winchester High School. I went to McCall Middle School for three years, with Evander French as my principal. I think you are completely out of line by saying Mr. French is “lying his ass off”. Anyone who knows Evander French knows that he is there being a principal at the Middle School because he really and truly wants to do the best things for his students. When I wanted to start a fundraiser to help the ASPCA help the animals from Hurricane Katrina, he was backing me up and encouraging me. If he suggests a field trip to see “Miracle on 34th Street”, then he is doing it for his students. And if he contradicted himself when writing to the parents of his students (and correct me if I’m wrong, but what buisiness is it of yours to be reading letters that a principal sends out to the parents of his students if you don’t have a child in the school?), then that was because he was trying to figure out a tactful way to tell the parents and students who were excited about the field trip that it was canceled. Winchester has a very competitive school system, even in the middle school, so if the administrators think that it is a treat for them to go see a movie, then who are you to object? So, why don’t you focus on the events that directly affect you instead of picking apart the rare administrators who are there in the school systems to help and benefit the children.
Nina,
First, this comment should have been posted under the article you are responding to. This section if for comments on my blog in general. Comments on particular posts belong with those posts, this will allow other people to see your comment and respond either positively or negatively to your comment. This helps to promote discussion. Please leave future comments on posts in the proper location or they will be deleted.
Second, I found the email content online, so that means a parent released it to somebody, that somebody posted it on the internet which then puts it in the public realm. You would do well to remember this when posting on facebook or my space. Anything you post there can and will be used against you.
Third, it is my buisness because the future of our country is at stake. I know you won’t fully grasp why I am saying that but someday maybe you will. By going to public school you are being indoctrinated into socialism and you don’t even realize it. Considering you are being taught to celebrate diversity you should start questioning why all displays of Christianity are being slowly but surely supressed. Does this sound like celebrating diversity? This political correct mindset you are being taught will be the downfall of this country.
You are being taught that you are entitled to thigs from the government to which you are not, people need to work to get what they want, it is not up to the government to give it to them.
Saying that the principal was thinking of a tactful way to tell the parents is just another term for spinning it to the parents, which is another term for lying to the parents.
These are some of the issues that we face as a country, we will be beaten from within if we follow the politically correct path. The PC path is the path to destuction. So when I see issues that I feel are important to the country I write about them. When people are so afraid of offending people that they can’t even say Merry Christmas we have a problem. Political correctness is nothing but an attack on free speech. Political correctness is intelectual fascism.
So yes, this issue does directly affect me and I will fight it until the end.
PS, don’t use the benefit the children argument, that is a time honored tradition of liberals to hide behind the children.
I hope you keep reading here, perhaps you will educate yourself in a way that is purposely lacking in the school system.
Hi!
I love your blog! I ran across it b/c we both have a recent article about Rudy posted in the 2008 Presidential Candidates ezine on Zimbo.
I’m adding you to my list of “Favorite Fighters of The Good Fight” which is my personal blog roll listed on my site.
Will you please add me to yours in return and let me know when you do?
For anyone else out there reading this, if you are another great fighter out there for the deadly cure to the disease of liberalism, please feel to add me as well. If you contact me through my site to let me know I will add you as well.
Keep fighting the good fight my friends and God bless you and yours.

Thanks Holly. Your blog looks great, keep up the good work. I have added you to my blogroll.
I looked at the posting by Shirley regarding military deaths since 1980 and the #s listed on the link Govt. site are different. Any explanation for this?
Thanks so much for adding me and you keep up the good work too!
I will add you to my favorites in technorati too.
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and God bless you and yours!

Here is a copy of a Letter to the Editor that I managed to get printed in this past Sunday’s edition of Wilkes-Barre Citizen’s Voice. Feel free to use it if you can.
Carl
Editor:
Congressman Paul Kanjorski’s recent claims that he has been in the fight against illegal immigration much longer than Hazleton mayor Lou Barletta prompted me to examine his voting record on this as well as some other issues. And some of what I discovered is quite interesting. The following are just a few examples of his votes on the following House Resolutions:
Bill Number: HR 5970
-Continues to allow tax deductions for qualified tuition and related expenses by amending the date to 2007 (Sec. 201)
Have kids in college? Like being able to deduct tuition costs from your federal income tax?
Paul voted NO
Bill Number: HR 4890
Sought to give the President the power of the line item veto.
Paul voted NO (Can you say Pork Barrel Spending?)
Bill Number: HR 4579 A bill to cut taxes for married couples, farmers, students, and others, and to set aside a portion of the budget surplus for Social Security.
I’ll be honest. Anything that takes less of my paycheck in taxes is ok with me. Paul voted NO
Bill Number: HR 2436 A bill to adopt a substitute amendment that establishes a federal criminal offense for an individual whose assault on a pregnant woman interrupts or terminates the pregnancy.
Seems reasonable to me. Assault a pregnant woman, do some serious jail time.
Paul voted NO
Bill Number: HR 3722 A bill that would require hospitals to provide information on undocumented immigrants seeking emergency medical care.
Seems simple. Illegal alien goes to the hospital for free medical care, and unless the hospital provides the Department of Homeland Security with citizenship and employment records, the hospital doesn’t receive reimbursement from the federal government. Would also have sought to make the employer of the illegal alien responsible for paying the bill.
Paul voted NO
Bill Number: HR 4844 A bill that requires voters to provide a government-issued photo identification cards in order to vote.
You know, like a drivers license. It’s hard to be an illegal alien voter without one.
Paul voted NO
Now to be fair I must point out that Mr. Kanjorski did vote in favor of tightening border security, increasing the number of Border Control agents, and a few other items related to illegal immigration.
However, it is one thing to raise your hand and vote “me too” on a bill that you know will make you look good to the folks back home, and quite another to take a serious stand on an issue.
Perhaps why that is talk of Lou Barletta running against him has him trying to do damage control. Maybe he has visited the http://www.louforcongress.com website.
But I can’t help but think that Mr. Kanjorski has been a member of Congress for 23 years, and NOW he is going to hop on board this issue?
Congressman, to use an old cliché, I’d ask you to put your money where your mouth is, but the last time you did that, you gave 10 million of our tax dollars to your nephews.
Carl Andrews
Dear sir
I stumbled accross your site via the search engine and I must say,based on the content so, far I agree in large part with you on may key issues. I do have some critique to give, in large because it is my social responsibility to do so. this is largely about balance and the merits of both parties both have redeeming features but both are fataly flawed. So if it is ageeable to you I would like to cover a few items and also state where I stand. First I would like to state my feelings and beliefs, I am, in many ways a deeply conservative patriot. I also am a student of history and for the last 30 years saturated my reading in early American history,as well as world history in general, I am alarmed at the tools BOTH parties are using in the battle for political control, as they fly in the face of Christian or even just basic democratic(not the party)ideology, and what I believe our founding fathers intended. As all parties are now using the following.. SPIN,.. FRAMING ISSUES,…(which I have seen mislead well intentioned people more times than I can count and is another form of dishonesty) POLARIZATION… (another way to keep logical debate on the merits of both parties from happening)(while mitigating the extremes we have seen) I cannot be a reasonable man and come to any other conclusion than that both parties have it wrong and have seperated myself from the Republican party and the Democratic party as I believe both to be fronts for a nests of thieves and corruption they seem to be pandering to greedy corporate donors to finance the election, then they in turn are beholden to the rich only and do not represent the american people in large part. They seems to either want to mismanage our economy or steal my freedoms bit by bit,or strip the soverieghnty of the United States. What is an American to do in the face of the failure of our beloved two party system,where are the checks and balances? Extremism seems to be the name of the game whether one is Liberal or one is Conservative. I look only to God for my guidance as the sight of both parties clawing at each other all day is enough to want to just put earplugs in and leave the room. but that is not the answer I know. My final word for now is for BOTH parties PLEASE no more political correctness,for my kids, and attacks on my right to bear arms, stop denigrating my Anglo-Saxon heritage in favor of any culturebut mine. Stop producing shortsided trade agreemants like NAFTA CAFTA and go back to the model our founding fathers used you would be suprised how much wisdom there is in that old writing and SO much is at stake…. God Bless America.
I am a Viet Era Vet and my father was a combat wounded vet of WW2. 100% disabled in a B17 in combat over Germany..
Bush is a betrayal of everything we ever believed in and proof positive that our nation could become fascist just like Germany did..
When lies and half truths are mixed with fear and false appeals to patriotism to support a fake war on a country that never threatened us and imprisonment, torture and law breaking are condoned by the public in the name of security, then loss of freedom is soon to follow.
Between 1789 and 1900, the U.S. Federal Government spent approximately $16 billion.
Since 2001, the U.S. Federal Government has spent approximately $16 trillion.
What happened to the noble ideal of a limited federal government?
What are your thoughts on Ron Paul?
In my humble opinion, he is the only candidate I can trust to return our nation back to its citizens.
I only hope your blog doesn’t encourage more people to move to NH. Flatlander s need to know that the Conservatives in NH are more in line with Libritarians than the social conservatives elsewhere in the country. I think most New Hampshirites believe that religion is a private matter, not to be discussed in public anymore than their sex life.
I believe that your views on homosexual marriage are homophobic. It’s a legal agreement between two consenting adults. and in. Marriage in a church is a different matter all together if they don’t want to perform services for gay couples then don’t.
Good luck with your blog- stay above the personal attacks.
Hello General Sir,
I recently found your blog from someone else’s link, and immediately enjoyed your writing. Please keep up the good work.
Judging by your photograph you’ve reached the pinnacle of your career, and as a young Marine corporal I am just beginning mine. Thankfully, I am home this holiday for the first time in a long time, but because of this a sad loneliness has overcome me that I think men of our calling can only understand. I would gladly leave my opportunity to be home this Christmas with my family to go back to the sands of Iraq, just so long as my younger Marines could come home to be with their families. I guess that’s the kind of thinking that comes with leadership.
I just wanted to wish you a very merry Christmas. These are, unfortunately, interesting times that we live in. I hope that one day our nation is able to breathe a sigh of relief from the terrible threat it is only beginning to face.
Semper Fidelis.

Just found you site. 35 year old gun owning, bow hunting, flag waving jingoistic Rochester, NH Male. I enjoy your vies and site. Good job.
Thanks Patriot, feel free to tell all your friends about this site, I don’t have many New Hampshire reidents coming here. We can use ll we can get.
I was looking around on your site today (since Hillary is stumping through New Hampshire at the moment) and I thought you may be interested in a site I just finished building.
A buddy and I run a humor blog, and one of the things we like to do is build satire websites on the side. Our latest one is a farce of Hillary Clinton’s “The Hillary I Know” website, which I’m sure you’ve heard of. You can check ours out at http://www.TheHillaryTheyKnow.com. We’ll be shooting a couple more videos today and posting them tonight. We’ll also be taking submissions from anybody who wants to shoot one – the funniest vids will be featured on the site.
We’re going public with the site this weekend, and I thought I’d start talking to bloggers like you first. If you think our site is funny and interesting, I’d really appreciate it if you could mention it to your readers. And if you have any comments or ideas on anything you’d like to see improved, feel free to let me know.
Thanks for your time,
Nate
Hi I like some of the comments on your blog, I would likwe to know if you could look at my youtube.com/steponme2008 page perhaps put my animations on your site. I am trying to bring to life a entertainment co. in NH and boston area, email me up, thanks
I am trying to rally the conservative troops to go over and NOT FLAME but comment on a posting I commented on and need to have other voices heard,,, yes I went behind “enemy” lines as I often do… go on oover and read it and help out if you can…
http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2008/01/16/the-myths-behind-iraq%e2%80%99s-civil-war-by-jennifer/
Good evening! A loyal reader sent a quote over from your post on NH fiscal messes and I wanted to do a Trackback on it…possible without having to create an ID?
Good stuff!
Like most, this web site publishes false information. There was no communist flag at Mr. Obama’s hq. Already been disproven.
To the owner of this site: If you decided to become what you are after 9-11, then sir you like this site are a phoney, and a coward. If you believe these so called conservatives, you are stupid as well.
This is an open society, and with this freedom bad things are bound to happen.
Maybe you would like more of our freedom taken away because you so damn scared, I bet the founding fathers are spinning.
There has not been a true conservative since Ike. Oh, and what did he warn us against? MIC. Which, you seem to love.
Things are really bad for you folks when “Stan” Coulter, and Rush ‘Oxy” Limbaugh are now trying to destroy Mr. McCain.
The Democratic landslide is ensured because of it.
First, I did not decide to become what I am, people evolve over time. It was not a conscious decision.
Second, it is not WHAT i have become, it is WHO I have beocme, by saying “what” you make it sound like I turned into some kind of monster. And judging by your comments, perhaps you do see me as a monster.
Third, I don’t understand the phoney label you give me. Is it because I have not always felt the way I do now? If it is, then are men not allowed to change?
Fourth, I go online and post my feelings to anyone who is willing to read every night, and my readership is growing, it is not always easy to post how I feel , but I do. I see no cowardice in that. You however come here and insult me, and that is fine, but you leave no link back to your blog, I find that to be displaying cowardice. If you don’t have a blog and just enjoy the hit and run mentality knowing nobody can ever go to your blog and debate with you, that is cowardly.
Fifth, I know the Democrats are going to run away with the election, and I will help them by not voting for McCain, I have already made peace with that.
Sixth, as for being stupid, you may have a point there. I have never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the deck.
Hello. I am writing to ask for your help with a survey which is part of my dissertation project. I was wondering if you would be willing to post a link to the survey on your blog? Your help would be greatly appreciated, and I think you and your readers would be ideal candidates for the survey.
The survey is about people’s reactions to the presidential candidates in the upcoming election
If you are willing to help, please post the following information:
***
The purpose of this survey is to examine how people think and feel about the political issues, parties, and candidates in the upcoming election. In the survey, you will be asked a series of questions about two political candidates, John McCain and Hillary Clinton. We are very interested in how individuals that find information on the web think about politics, and your participation would be greatly appreciated. In total, the survey should take about 15 minutes to complete. The survey is completely anonymous and you can skip any questions you do not wish to answer.
Click here to take the survey:

Hi. I enjoyed reading your post about the Boy Scouts versus the Cambridge Election Commission, and I thought you might like to know about a brand new blog published under deep cover behind enemy lines in the Peoples Republic. It’s called the Cambridge Patriots Committee, and the URL is
http://patriots02139.wordpress.com/
I’ve already placed your site on my blog roll, and I would be thrilled if you could add our site to yours. Thanks!
From your About page, it looks like we have several things in common. I used to vote reflexively for “Democrat” and thought not a whole lot about politics in between elections. I don’t think I knew any Republicans, although it’s quite possible that some of my friends were “closet” GOP members.
The murderous attacks of September 11th, 2001 were a major wake-up call for me. One of the first things I did was to put a flag on my car. Not knowing any better, I was shocked by the negative reactions I received from Cambridge residents. Just about everywhere else in the USA, including most other towns & cities in Massachusetts, the Stars & Stripes were a call for unity, mourning, and determination. In Cambridge, however, sight of the American flag brought out the ugliest side of the Left: An attempt to place the blame on America for what was done to us by Saudi Arabian savages, and expressions of contempt for ordinary Americans whose patriotism was re-awakened.
I felt like Rip Van Winkle, who wakes up one day and finds that everyone around him has changed. In an effort to get my bearings, I began to read books like The Road to Serfdom, Witness, We Were Soldiers Once, The Federalist Papers, Up From Liberalism, Conscience of a Conservative. I also began to find lots of kindred spirits in the Blogosphere: Belmont Club, Front Page Magazine, Eject Eject Eject, Little Green Footballs. By the time of the next election, I was a registered Republican. I am now a member of the Cambridge Republican Committee, and I am committed to making Massachusetts a 2-party state again by the time my son is old enough to vote!
I have added your link to my blogroll. Keep up the fight. By the way, you really are behind enemy lines down there. It must be tough!
I am quite surprised that no one has discussed the egregious racial slur implied by Hillary Clinton’s recent campaign. Perhaps due to my background defending the civil rights of all Americans, I am sensitized to the techniques used by whites in many venues to put down candidates of color in ways that do not overtly seem to be racist.
Looking at the question Hillary posed in the “3:00 a.m. question, I was immediately struck by the unspoken “profiling” obvious in this ad. Why 3:00 a.m.? Not enough experience to make a wise decision without time to consider the problem and contact advisors and pundits?
No. The subtext of this strange question is that black males may not be at home and able to answer the phone with a cogent response. In what Hillary & Billary purport to be a straight-forward question, the Clintons are clearly back-stabbing Obama by playing on a negative perception of black males in toto.
Will this machination be recognized for what it is; namely a bold-faced or at least a subliminal play to the thinly veiled racism that still runs rampant in the United States?
If this is indeed a clue to Clinton’s ability to pull white rabbits out of hats, I hope that she is called to task for her manipulative campaign tactics. Should Obama play the race card on this issue? Probably not, due to his overall campaign marked by dignity and profundity. I do hope, however, that the press or a well-respected statesman will reveal and challenge Hillary’s dissembling tactics.
Obama is real and knows, along with millions of other rational and change-hungry Americans, what “is” “is” and what “is” “ain’t”!
You are the type of person who is tearing this country apart. You should be ashamed of yourself for attacking people who do not have the exact same ideas as you.
I have sat back for the last seven years and watched what I believe in being attacked day after day. I started fighting back last year and now I am the one who is attacking people who don’t believe what I believe?

I stumbled across your blog and noticed your uniform, so I decided to read your about me section. Besides drinking beer, toting a gun and driving a pickup, there is no difference between your views and mine. There is definitely no difference between your views and those of my family and friends, however most of them are black and constantly vote Democrat. I think perhaps if conservativism was portrayed as it really was as opposed to the media portrayal as an exclusive club of rich, old, fat men, many blacks would realize how conservative they really were. I don’t understand the democratic stronghold. Do you realize when the clintons visit churches like the church of god in christ, they are visiting not only one of the largest black church organizations. However, they are visiting a church that advocates abstinence, they are anti-abortion, anti secular music, etc. They are probably more conservative than the southern baptist. Yet the democrats are always pandering.
Very nice website. BTW, what color is your pickup?;-)
Added you to my blogroll.
Best, Jim
Thanks Jim, my pickup is forest green. I will be adding you to my blogroll also.
You are a fucking scumbag baby killer.
JJ, thanks for stopping by. Please explain to me why I am a fucking scumbag baby killer. I am pro life, and think abortion is deplorable, so it can’t be that. Unless you are too stupid to realize that some of my posts on abortions have sarcasm in them.
Am I a fucking scumbag baby killer because I am a supporter of the war and you are trying to relive the Vietnam war era where people like you reffered to our soldiers as baby killers?
Please come back and explain your brilliantly crafted and remarkably ignorant comment.
btw, I added you to my blogroll a while back. Your blog is one of the few conservative blogs I’ve seen that tends to be more respectful and moderated. I’m sure there must be more, I’m still looking. Anyway, I like that you include information from which you based your opinion with your posts. I don’t always agree but you make lots of good points.
I’m against the war in Iraq because its premise was false and misleading. I am against extremists in whatever form they may appear: Christian, Muslim, or any other flavor. I don’t think they should be tolerated. I’ve been thinking for years about where I stand on interventionist vs. isolationist policy. So that influences how I feel about war. I think religion is one of the biggest problems facing us because it influences our culture and politics in the US just like in Islamic countries. Here in Canada I’ve never heard any politician even mention God. I spent most of my life in the South and in church (sunday, wednesday, friday) until I went to university and had a more rigid, conservative, non-secular upbringing than most people did (I can recite chapters of the Bible!). For that reason, I am uneasy about politics and religion mixing based on what I’ve experienced.
I am cheered to see the comment from ms.day above. It’s spot on. Many blacks ARE conservative.
Do you think the Bill of Rights were intentionally subverted by the false flag attack on America? 9-11 gave rise to sweeping legislative and regulatory reforms that curtailed our civil liberties. Paul Wolfowitz wrote in the 90′s that America must experience a “New Pearl Harbor” to accept massive defense spending increases. I am interested in your opinion.
Thanks You Don’t Say, I will be adding you to my blogroll as well. We don’t agree on many issues, but we do agree on some. I would argue that it isn’t only conservative blogs that aren’t always respectful, I have seen liberal blogs that are just as disrespectful. Just read the comment two up from your’s. I haven’t figured out whether this is a conservative who has misunderstood my position on abortion, or whether he is a liberal calling me a baby killer because I support the war. Either way, he wasn’t repsectful.
you’re right. It’s not just conservative blogs with out of control commentators. I don’t read comments on many blogs anymore because the remarks are just scary. I was reading a WaPo article this evening and just got fed up. It seems the anonymity of the internet causes people to forget manners and brings out the nasty side of most people.
I admire the fact that you don’t stoop to the level of people who leave rude remarks on your site. People don’t have to agree with you but the least they could be is courteous and respectful.
You are one stupid 41 year old middle Assman.
That wasn’t nice Zana, please elaborate. Use little words so I can understand.
You don’t say, you just inspired me to stay above the fracus. I was about to lay into Zana and then I saw how you mentioned that I don’t stoop to their level, so I didn’t.

Polar Cities a Haven in Warming World?
By Andrew C. Revkin
With or without climate calamity, an urbanizing Arctic is coming.
I noticed that you listed the US Military deaths during 4 years of the Clinton Administration. Do you have any statistics for the 8 years he held office?
Thanks,
You should write for Liberalati.com!
I think it’s funny that you use a quote from a deceitful, psychopathic, treasonous caveman Jack Nicholson character on your web page. It really captures the spirit of the right wing nicely.
Col. Jessup got screwed.
That Jack Nicholson character comment certainly DOES describe the spirit of the right wing, perfectly! And I’m proud of it!
Thanks MrPinkeyes, I just discovered this site and I love it. Your sentiments are mine as well.
Thanks Laurie B.
Isn’t it sad how a man can be called treasonous for defending the country? If that is the spirit of the left I am glad I am not part of it.
Pink Eyes; I happened upon this site while researching blog sites. I am planning on starting one soon (blog). You are one scary buckaroo. The masthead of flags, firefighters,freedom bells etc. I am curious as to why you claim to have been a Democrat and switched after 911? Why would you switch to the party that allowed it to happen. You right wing screwballs have such a sadly convoluted way of thinking. Too much beer perhaps.
I am happy to find your blog. I have been apaulled by the discussion of limiting the speed of boats that are otherwise being operated safely on NH lakes. Unsafe operators who are the ones who threaten others can already be cited for a variety of reasons without a speed limit. Whatever happened to “Live Free or Die”?
In New York City they have outlawed: guns, transfats, driving without a seat belt, smoking in most places, and they tried to prevent people from driving into the center of the city unless they paid a large fee. They are on the march to tell everyone what it good for them.
I thought NH was where anyone could do his or her thing as long as they don’t harm others. If you let them restrict some people’s liberty today, they may be after your liberty tomorrow. We have to stick up for everyone’s liberty in order to protect our own.
Keep up the good work!!
Wow – someone who I agree with almost entirely! I don’t consider myself Republican anymore – independent, who leans libertarian, although I strongly disagree with their foreign policy. I find it interesting that you consider yourself conservative – I don’t really consider myself conservative – maybe so on fiscal policy – a little less on social issues.
Thanks for your comments-
DK
Hi Mr PinkEyes,
found your site through search on Maxine Waters. What a clown, but at least she’s willing to be honest about what she is .. socialist.
My first presidential vote was also the best president in the 20th century RWR. ( who also happened to follow the worst pres EVER )
Read quite a few of the entries here and am ( like D. Gallagher ) about to leave NJ. The taxes here are a disgrace and socialist ( or Robin Hood ), but instead of NH our destination is South Carolina
That said, the main reason for the post was the inane comment about “extremists”. A christian extremist…. love your enemy? Do unto others as you would have done to you? But, I guess the worst would have to be, Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul.
The person has no tolerance for love? Guess it’s just tolerance for the tolerant ( people with which they agree)?
Thanks Don.
DK, I consider myself conservative on fiscal issues, and like you a little more moderate on social issues. The Libertarian party does have some aspects to it that I don’t like although I do like the very limited government aspect of it.
GJ, you make a good point, at least she was honest. Even if she didn’t mean to be.
You make me go, “hmmm” more often than not, but I like what you are doing.
Keep it up.

Why George Bush is Insane – By Harold Pinter
(The article is taken from an address given by Harold Pinter on receiving an honorary degree at the University of Turin © Harold Pinter 2002)
Earlier this year I had a major operation for cancer. The operation and its after-effects were something of a nightmare. I felt I was a man unable to swim bobbing about under water in a deep dark endless ocean. But I did not drown and I am very glad to be alive. However, I found that to emerge from a personal nightmare was to enter an infinitely more pervasive public nightmare – the nightmare of American hysteria, ignorance, arrogance, stupidity and belligerence; the most powerful nation the world has ever known effectively waging war against the rest of the world. “If you are not with us you are against us” President Bush has said. He has also said “We will not allow the world’s worst weapons to remain in the hands of the world’s worst leaders”. Quite right. Look in the mirror chum. That’s you.
The US is at this moment developing advanced systems of “weapons of mass destruction” and it prepared to use them where it sees fit. It has more of them than the rest of the world put together. It has walked away from international agreements on biological and chemical weapons, refusing to allow inspection of its own factories. The hypocrisy behind its public declarations and its own actions is almost a joke.
The United States believes that the three thousand deaths in New York are the only deaths that count, the only deaths that matter. They are American deaths. Other deaths are unreal, abstract, of no consequence.
The three thousand deaths in Afghanistan are never referred to.
The hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children dead through US and British sanctions which have deprived them of essential medicines are never referred to.
The effect of depleted uranium, used by America in the Gulf War, is never referred to. Radiation levels in Iraq are appallingly high. Babies are born with no brain, no eyes, no genitals. Where they do have ears, mouths or rectums, all that issues from these orifices is blood.
The two hundred thousand deaths in East Timor in 1975 brought about by the Indonesian government but inspired and supported by the United States are never referred to.
The half a million deaths in Guatemala, Chile, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Uruguay, Argentina and Haiti, in actions supported and subsidised by the United States are never referred to.
The millions of deaths in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are no longer referred to.
The desperate plight of the Palestinian people, the central factor in world unrest, is hardly referred to.
But what a misjudgment of the present and what a misreading of history this is.
People do not forget. They do not forget the death of their fellows, they do not forget torture and mutilation, they do not forget injustice, they do not forget oppression, they do not forget the terrorism of mighty powers. They not only don’t forget. They strike back.
The atrocity in New York was predictable and inevitable. It was an act of retaliation against constant and systematic manifestations of state terrorism on the part of the United States over many years, in all parts of the world.
In Britain the public is now being warned to be “vigilant” in preparation for potential terrorist acts. The language is in itself preposterous.
How will – or can – public vigilance be embodied? Wearing a scarf over your mouth to keep out poison gas? However, terrorist attacks are quite likely, the inevitable result of our Prime Minister’s contemptible and shameful subservience to the United States. Apparently a terrorist poison gas attack on the London Underground system was recently prevented. But such an act may indeed take place. Thousands of school children travel on the London Underground every day. If there is a poison gas attack from which they die, the responsibility will rest entirely on the shoulders of our Prime Minister. Needless to say, the Prime Minister does not travel on the underground himself.
The planned war against Iraq is in fact a plan for premeditated murder of thousands of civilians in order, apparently, to rescue them from their dictator.
The United States and Britain are pursuing a course which can lead only to an escalation of violence throughout the world and finally to catastrophe.
It is obvious, however, that the United States is bursting at the seams to attack Iraq. I believe that it will do this – not just to take control of Iraqi oil – but because the US administration is now a bloodthirsty wild animal. Bombs are its only vocabulary. Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.
Unless Europe finds the solidarity, intelligence, courage and will to challenge and resist US power Europe itself will deserve Alexander Herzen’s definition (as quoted in the Guardian newspaper in London recently) “We are not the doctors. We are the disease”.

I was brought up to love and respect The United States Constitution by my Father. I thought most Americans felt the same way I did. Until I saw a blog on checkpoints and posted believes, and why I believe it. I stated that I was strongly opposed to illegal immigration but was opposed to checkpoints because of the fourth Amendment I also gave alternative enforcement ideas that would work better for law Enforcement like license plate readers. I pasted copy of Fourth Amendment with copy of Supreme Court Decision saying they found checkpoints to be a violation of the Fourth Amendment but they felt “The Danger of drunk driving” out weighed the violation of The Fourth Amendment I stated that I knew driving was a privilege and not a right but it was the detention with out probable cause I disagreed with because James Madison said the loss of freedoms would be gradual and posted James Madison’s letter and Quote Those who would give up ESSENTIAL LIBERTY to purchase a little TEMPORARY SAFETY, deserve neither LIBERTY nor SAFETY Ben Franklin and posted. People where calling me a Communist a Liberal, ACLU and so I was shocked. I am not soft on crime and believe in harsh punishments and protection of our borders without losing American Freedoms

I hope you will consider blogging on this.
Hey Mr. Pink Eyes,
Since I know you get to see my email address, I’m requesting a bit of email correspondence.
I’ve done a ton of research and I thought you would like even more ammunition for your blog. I’m not going to post it here but send it over to you so you can digest it all then comment as you wish.
Email me if you would like the information. I think you are on the right track but missing a key detail in it all. It will all click shortly though.
Email sent, I am very curious to see what I am missing!
IS THIS TRUE.. WE’RE GETTING EMAILS ABOUT THIS… TRIED TO SEND IT TO MR. OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN HEADQUARTERS. MANY WOULD LIKE ANSWERS ON THIS…
have felt for some time now that Obama is the one person that ‘Frightens Me’.
I believe the Bible has warned us that ‘A man will come from the East that will be charismatic in nature and have proposed solutions for all our problems and his rhetoric will attract many supporters!’
When will our pathetic Nation quit turning their back on God and understand that this man is ‘A Muslim’….First, Last and always….and we are AT WAR with the Muslim Nation, whether our bleeding-heart, secular, Liberal friends believe it or not.
This man fits every description from the Bible of the ‘Anti-Christ’!
I’m just glad to know that there are others that are frightened by this man!
Who is Barack Obama?
Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.
If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts…this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States…better heed this and pray about it and share it.
Snopes.com confirms this is factual. Check for yourself.
Who is Barack Obama?
Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii , to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel , Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita , Kansas
Obama’s parents met at the University of Hawaii . When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia . When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim . He is quick to point out that, ‘He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school.’
Obama’s political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.
Obama’s introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son’s education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States , Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.
Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Do you want someone like this as your PRESIDENT?
Let us all remain alert concerning Obama’s expected presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level – through the President of the United States , one of their own!
The Bible says ‘He will come from among you!’
Everyone of you people is a raving loon. Haven’t any of you been monitoring the stock market lately? Do any of you know how long it takes to develop an oil field? Also, the muslims don’t have to do anything, they just have to sit back and wait for the United States to bankrupt itself through out-of-control spending, graft, corruption and stupidity. The Bible says “he will come among you? He’s here already and his last name is Bush. The original definition of “Conservative” meant to conserve the nation’s weath, while “Liberal” meant to dole out funds with a liberal hand. What could be more “liberal” than sending 12 billion dollars in one hundred dollar bills to Iraq and then having it be stolen and completely unaccounted for. Also, this is America where a man’s home is supposed to be his castle, but right now there is a giant land grab going on which is corporatizing private home-owners property through foreclosures. How do I know all of this information? I Watch the news on Fox and CNN and CNBC. Do you people know how many points the stock market has lost lately? This country is literally hemoraging money. Please wake up out of your state induced stupor and look at the world as it really is. Watch CNBC. Thanks
Summary Declaration of the Start
of the Next Global Climate Change
After an exhaustive review of a substantial body of climate research, and in conjunction with the obvious and compelling new evidence that exists, it is time that the world community acknowledges that the Earth has begun its next climate change. In an opinion echoed by many scientists around the world, the Space and Science Research Center (SSRC), today declares that the world’s climate warming of past decades has now come to an end. A new climate era has already started that is bringing predominantly colder global temperatures for many years into the future. In some years this new climate will create dangerously cold weather with significant ill-effects world wide. Global warming is over – a new cold climate has begun.

This is in response to the search of a new car battery. That may be possible but not in the near future. However there is a simple modification that will make car batteries last 90% longer and this concept can be implemented into vehicles that Americans love to purchase. I would like to sell this oversight. If interested please do not hesitate to contact me; info@mauricelively.com
Hi Mr, Pink. I am involved with the website hypocrisy.com and I would love to discuss your site with you. It’s a great site and I have some ideas I’d like to share with you in person. Please email me from the address I left in this comment.

I am sorry about using the feedback form but I didn’t see anywhere else to contact you.
Can this be so??? Remembering helps!
A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40.
2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics , athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
4. During the 1980′s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
8. In 1988 , Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists between the of 17 and 40.
12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by– you guessed it– Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people…
Absolutely No Profiling!
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss,but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
And Now: For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet — The Presidency of the United states of America
A Muslim Male Extremist Between the age of 17 and 40!

Mr. Obama,
I read in the Saturday, 7/12/08 St. Petersburg Times, that you are courting the people of faith.
There is no way you can stand for my values while you support abortion on demand and same-sex marriages.
God never intended for us to kill our babies and our families. Documentation is available demonstrating that the best children come from committed parents, male and female, in a dedicated family setting.
My vote will always be for the one who supports life, from conception to death.
Thank you.
Hey there, I came across your blog and I think you might be interested in a project I’m working on – basically I want to get the candidates on record on their stance on the misnamed Employee Free Choice Act (which is actually a big union power grab), and they’re pretty reluctant to be asked about it. Hilarity ensues.
If you want to check it out, here are the links:

Pinko-
Why didn’t you publish my comment regarding Joe Kenney’s Bingo Bill? You profess your support for a candidate on this bog but would rather not discuss his legislative achievements? What a republican thing to do. Keep up the good work!
Deciders,
I am glad you came back, I delete very few comments but I deleted your comment for three reasons.
One: the comment was totally unrelated to the post that it was left under, this or a post about Joe Kenney is where the comment should have been left.
Two: I searched his website and could find nothing about his Bingo bill, please send me anything that you have on it and I will read it and respond.
Three: you called me pinko, a term used to describe communists.
Right Wing Wiz Kid,
I have added your site to my blogroll.
My apologies, Pinky.
Here is the link to Kenney’s page where the Bingo Bill is referenced…http://www.draftkenney.com/about.html
It’s under the category “Bills Sponsored”. Incredibly, I can find no mention of this important legislation. I’m hoping that as a New Hampshirite, you have access to articles relating to the bill.
Thanks,
Bunny
No problem.
I looked at the page that you gave me and all that I was able to come up with is the fact that the bill would have lowered the age of seniors and increase the prizes, I have done a serch on the internet and have not been able to come up with any more than that. I will keep looking though. I honestly hadn’t heard anything about this bill until you asked me. It mustn’t have gotten in the news too much here or I like to think that I would have seen it.
Obama will CHANGE USA into USSA
Cosmo-
I must ask…did you just “come up” with that one yourself? It seems so helplessly unoriginal.
interesting site I agree that the nation is in need of quality leadership but its sad that so many paople have become like baseball fans .To explain I am a New York Yankee fan and our enemy is the Red sox. Its a battle ,with take no prisioners its them or us! The democrats and republicans seem to have the same behavior. For a sport its fun , but when it comes to our nation and the importance of getting things done it s not. I support McCain but I don’t have to hate Obama to so so. he is a bright man and has many good qualites ,but his batting average is not what we need now. On the other hand president Bush has fought a good fight at times he has struck out, but he has also got key hits when we needed him too. those folks that hate him are blinded by the baseball fan mentality {hes the enemy} . No one is perfect no one bats 1000 , One other issue the religious fans they too have been hurting us as well . If one belives in this god or that or if in none at all ,it doesn’t matter . what does matter is that those that claim to be religious act the way theri gods have,not taking on the its them or us thing. the name god is form the german it simply means GOOD> to me good is when you act with kindness and compassion ,if you do that then your actions will give you the right battingaverage to get into the first team both in this life and the life to come.
Curious George,
“he has also got key hits when we needed him too”
Please provide examples of these “hits”. I’m curious as to what you think they are. Thanks.
Obama, you are not listening to what your endorsing at the end of radio (for sure) ads of yours. like: What does McCain not knowing how many houses he owns have to do with not been tuned into the middleclass??????
In about an hour I could tell you how many I own.
Also you need to stop the theatrics and quit acting like your preacher. We need change, sure, and you are always yelling. Calm yourself down and tell us what YOUR going to do. You yell we need this we need that but what are YOU going to do. I know more what Mc is going to do in 3 days than I know what YOUR going to do in your whole campaign! You need to get real….M
Mike-
Based on your writing style, I highly doubt it would take you an hour to tell us how many houses you own.
What does YOUR first sentence even mean? Perhaps you should get one of your parents to help you write YOUR blog comments.

Mr. Pink Eyes,
I do like your site, however I must say that I don’t agree with much of anything politically that you do. I too am a beer drinking, pickup truck owning, gun owning, construction worker from the great state of Virginia. I love my country, my dogs and my wife and two boys. My wife’s family has been here for 400 years. No kidding. We hate the carpet baggers who came into our state and ruined the economy. they build giant homes that will soon be the next slums in America. And we hate people who don’t have the common desency to say hi to you on the street.
I just don’t understand why issues like abortion, gay rights, and immigration are so difficult.
On abortion, if you don’t want one or think it’s wrong don’t have one, end of story. Get government out of the question. Don’t call it a states right or a federal right. At the end of the day people will have abortions that want to have abortions. They shouldn’t have to hide in the street corner and do it with a hanger, we are a better country than that.
On gay rights, I don’t want my sons to be gay, I don’t want my friends to be gay, I don’t even want my TV news anchors to be gay, but guess what. It’s a free country here. If you want to be gay and live with your boyfriend I could care less if you want to be married. God bless you and don’t think I’m gonna ask you over to dinner ’cause I’m not.
On immigration and the wall. I have a man who works for me from El Salvador. He thinks the wall is hilarious, ” In El Salvador we have airplanes.” he said. ” do you know what air planes are in America? They can actually fly over any wall ever built.” To think we will “solve” the immigration situation with a wall is as short sided as Bill Clinton thinking we won’t notice if he slips into the back room for a little nookie while in the oval office. There are some very hard working illeagals here who actually do contribute a huge amount to the nations economy. Likewise there are some bad ones who should be sent home yesterday. There are some very hard working Americans who are struggling now, but work is work,man. If we can’t compete with the mexicans now what makes us think we can compete with them in the future. Pull up those boots boys and go to work. the construction industry needs you badly. We are tired of learning spanish to talk to our work force but you know what they are working harder right now than we are so get over it and stop pretending that our government should send them all home or build a wall to keep them out. It ain’t gonna work
Would love to hear from you.
Elong.
Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed reading your site and have added it to my blogroll . if for no other reason it’s a good place to quickly access the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. I like that. Since I just found it today, I’ll have to come back more and do some more reading. I also like what you’ve done with “Digg 3″. And I particularly like this feedback page.

Thanks Earl, I look forward to seeing you around here. I am off to add you to my blogroll right now.
Hey Mr. Pink Eyes,
My name is Adam Shepard and I wrote a book called Scratch Beginnings. I’ve been featured on The Today Show, CNN, Fox News, NPR, Christian Science Monitor, The New York Post…blah, blah, blah.
Scratch Beginnings is my rebuttal to Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich, a well-crafted yet flawed study of the American Dream. What I did was start with $25 and the clothes on my back in a randomly chosen city out of a hat to see if, in one year, I could have $2500, a car, and a furnished apartment.
Although, I gotta tell ya, it isn’t all as though it appears on the cover. You can read the intro at http://www.scratchbeginnings.com.
My book is being published on Oct. 14th by HarperCollins, and I’d be happy (and honored) if you’d like to do a review on your blog. It’s a very inspirational topic, sure, but even more of a controversial one that has been receiving a wide variety of praise and criticism from people all over.
I have about 20 copies of the original self-published version sitting next to me, and I’ll send you a copy if you’d like.
Cheers!
Adam

Hi;
I would love to be on your blog roll, but more than that, I’d like for you to read my Open Letter to John McCain, http://www.doublebarreledopinions.com/136.htm and help me my emailing it to as many people as you can.
Thank you,
Recoil
W ow….pretty neat stuff. I agree with you on all points. I’m a 49 y.o., university educated, American of Mexican desent. I currently live and work in Ghana, West Africa, however there is nothing like the US. I’ve had conservative values my entire life.
Most people here think that Obama is the greatest. It’s sad that they really don’t know his voting history nor his liberal thinking.
Hi, great site. I found it on a list of political forums, except there don’t seem to be any political discussion forums on your site. My question is this: I’m from Canada, and I have always had a romanticized idea that if I ever move to the States, it would be to New Hampshire. That probably comes from having once read “The World According To Garp”. Thing, is I’ve never been to New Hampshire, so my idea of NH may not fit with reality. I’m saying that, on account of what you wrote here:
“I am a beer drinking, pickup truck driving, gun owning, New Hampshirite, and damn proud of it.”
So I guess my question would be, are all New Hampshirites stupid backward rednecks like you? Or did you just move to NH from a trailer park in Alabama, or something? Thanks for your opinion, chief.
First let me say thank you for the compliment. This is just my personal blog so no, there are no forums here. This would be the place to leave a comment such as you did.
Second, no, I moved from Massachusetts which has a socialist government such as you are used to, The problem with New Hampshire now is that too many people are moving here from Massachusetts and Vermont to rid themselves of overbearing government (as you enjoy in Canada) but are bringing their politics with them.
If you want to move to New Hampshire I would suggest southern New Hampshire, that is where most of your socialist buddies would be located (that is also where I am located), the rednecks that you refer to would be mostly in the North country.
Oh, and since when does having a drink or two and also practicing my second amendment right make me stupid and backwards. I would argue that someone such as yourself who would have no regard for the constitution as stupud and backwards.
Thanks again, please come back.
I’ve never understood why some of the most jingoistic, and dangerously patriotic Americans, are anti-government. I would think the two go hand-in-hand. Particularly when, the jingoists consider you “unAmerican” for going against the president in a time of war. And it looks like if it weren’t for your “overbearing government” bailing out the financial sector to the tune of $700 billion recently, your country would be competing with Zimbabwe for bananas right now.
Beer-swilling, gun-loving, chest-thumping, yee-hawing “patriotic” Americans just make Canadians, and the rest of the civilized world, nervous. With good reason, I would argue. With McCain and Palin talking about bombing Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and whoever else that gets on the wrong side of their massive egos, what we’re worried about is on the pretext of “patriotism” and “love of country”, one of these days you war-loving, “victory-craving” yahoos are going to get us ALL killed. After all, I’m only a few hundred miles away from you, or NYC. Piss off some more arabs, and my worry is this time, they’re going to unleash a disaster that we Canucks won’t just be viewing on our tv sets, but will actually be affected by.
It’s not that Americans are stupid, that bothers me. Because if anything, it’s entertaining to watch Americans constantly try to out-stupid themselves (ie. the Fox channel). It’s that they’re -dangerously stupid- that worries me. 9/11 happens and what’s the reaction? Go to war in Iraq. Even though it isn’t even a country that attacked the US, but an organized group of people who come from and operate from many middle east countries. The ultimate act of stupidity however, was following the stupidest leader in the history of the free world, when he said Iraq, not Afghanistan where Bin Laden was thought to be, was going to be the country’s new enemy for the 9/11 attacks (and using the flimsiest excuse for war ever given). Even I could tell at the time he gave the declaration of “war”, that Bush was totally lying about his reasons for invading. Yet very nearly your entire congress (with the mindless support of much of the country it seems), put whatever brains they may have had on hold, and for purely political / emotional (as opposed to smart or logical) reasons, voted to declare and fund a preemptive war on Iraq, without giving a shit about the UN or Bin Laden, said to be the mastermind of the attacks. It did nothing to secure your country, and only helped to bankrupt it. Meanwhile, Bin Laden must be laughing his arab ass off at “the stupid American pigs”, on his CNN feed. You are just as likely, if not more, to be attacked by terrorists today as 10 years ago. Your country hasn’t figured out yet that it will NEVER be able to stop all terrorist attacks. Which is why the best you can do is make nice with the rest of the world, even if it means kissing ass with the middle east, and stop being jingoistic dicks and provoking them. Especially now that they’re going “nukular”.
Look, I don’t pretend I’m going to convince any American who thinks its his birthright to have as many guns as keeps him happy otherwise, any more than I would convince Yosemite Sam to turn his in. Or what the image of a beer-swilling, pickup driving, gun-toting, McCain supporting American railing against “socialists” says to the world about being “stupid and backward”. So I take back calling you stupid / backward for those reasons. I’ll try to be more reasonable and simply say that anyone who votes for McCain and Palin are “stupid and backward”. After all, here’s a pair who have lied about nearly everything they have ever said about themselves (or their opponent, for that matter). Including being “mavericks”, and being all for working-class “Joe Six Packs” and “Hockey Moms”. Never mind the “social” issues, they will take your money and gladly hand every penny of it to corporate America, to screw you over in the end (literally). Just as Bush has done. (It could be said, Palin is Bush with a bush). America is already the laughingstock of the world, after having elected Dubya twice over. I can’t imagine what would happen after another 4 or 8 years of this. I like the country, overall, as far as visiting is concerned. But as for living in America, the ugly political character of Americans just scare the hell out of me. Hell, I’ve never figured out why “liberal” is a bad word, and how the idea of unity and helping each other out is only a desirable quality when a hurricane hits.
I can take all of the names that you called me, but to call me a McCain supporter is where I have to draw the line. In my sidebar you will see the three candidates that I support in the upcoming election, notice that McCain is not there.
I do not like McCain and I do not support him.
To Paul Glasser,
In case you haven’t noticed America is not a monolithic voting bloc. We all aspire to our own beliefs. So on behalf of the the many people in the good old U. S. of A. that do not support many of the irritating truths that you rant on about I would just like to say we may be in agreement. I can’t speak for the uninformed dolts that think Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 I wouldn’t follow Bush across a one way street. I hate war. I served in the Vietnam war so I know what war begets. I can’t speak for the ignorant people calling Barack Obama an Arab and a terrorist. You would think that these dub asses would have to know that only a natural born American citizen can hold the office of president. I guess all I am saying is don’t judge all Americans by the massive amount of ignorance being observed, I guess it must be a natural resource in this country. After all over 36,000,000 primary voters did voice some of your concerns during the democrats primary race. And finally Go Sabres
Regards,
Joseph
Good Morning Mr Pink Eyes,
I am the Proud Mother of Spc Michael L Gonzalez killed in Iraq on 8/28/2008, fighting for the safety of the children there because the parents are weak. and need our help. As our own children lose their lack of respect for themselves right here in our very own proud to be American country. I laughed when I read your “about me” because I agree with most of it. Why should the goverments spend money to make laws. When God gave parents that job to raise them and love them teach them to respect their elders. I think it is called Social Science thats the start. Why do we have to keep up with the Jones? My father was a smart man he said he only things you need to do in life are die and pay taxes. I have so much to say and I am working on getting it all out. God has put the right people in my life. My husband says I cannot change the world but at least I can try to help one child at a time. My eyes, ears and heart is open. I will not rest until the day I die helping protect the children of the United States, in Honor and Memory of my son Spc. Michael L Gonzalez.. My hero, God Bless America.
Sincerly
Ida D Gonzalez Proud to be a Mother..
Hello Mr. Pink Eyes.
Re: this blog. Well done. Very enjoyable. Like the Great Ronaldo Magnus, your personal philosphies are simple, discrete and conservative.
Re: President 2008. Perhaps it will be Obama, which would not be good. Perhaps McCain, which would be better. But one thing for sure: the mainstream media has undeniably committed journalistic malpractice and THEY MUST PAY A HUGE PRICE.
Mr Pink Eyes,
I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE E-MAIL ME TODAY IF YOU CAN ITS REALLY IMPORTANT I ONLY HAVE TWO WEEKS TO TURN THINGS AROUND..
I love your views and I have shared it will everyone I know..
thank you
I found your blog quite by accident, but I will be returning frequently. I appreciate your honesty, and agree with your viewpoints. You state them clearly and succinctly. It’s been difficult to stay informed lately, with the media openly in Obama’s pocket. I have never been so uneasy about the possible direction of our country. I could have easily become disillusioned years ago; in my very first election I voted for Richard Nixon in 1971 (having just turned 18 in Sept. before the election). But I realize that it is the common sense of conservative citizens that don’t give up who help to balance our moral compass. Thanks for the time and effort you obviously put into your site. It’s reassuring to know people like you are out there!
Ida, I tried to go to your facebook address that you linked to in your name, but it didn’t work. Please let me know what you want me to do and I will let you know if I can help.
I am very sorry about your loss, I hope that you can take some comfort that your son died for a noble and just cause. I can’t even begin to image what you are going through.
Donna, thanks for the very kind words. That has to be the forst time that I have ever been called succinct.
There are many good blogs out there that still keep our message alive, it is missing from the mainstream media, so it is important for us to stay upbeat and active. I honestly believe that Obama is going to win the election and then it will be more important that ever to not become disillusioned, and to keep fighting.
Dear Mr. Pink Eye,
I am contacting you on behalf of Jeff Beatty, Tom McClintock, Steve Stivers, and Marion Thorpe. I am writing because this campaign respects your impressive website which showcases your immense talent.
Blogs are underutilized in politics. This campaign is interested in developing a strong relationship with blogs across the nation, yours included. Please contact upon receiving this e-mail, as I would like future communication.
Sincerely,

Thank you Mr Pink Eye, it is really hard but I have GOD to carry me thru this and he is doing a great job, of course I have a husband Pedro that loves me and a son Troy that is 15 and angry. so am I. As with everyone we do not know which knucklehead to pick its such a bad campaign smear. I have really no respect for either on of them, because shame on them they forgot to tell one of their many supporters to send the Gonzalez Family a sympathy card. Michael wanted John McCain and I have decided that if he is good enough for Michael then he is good enough for me. So I am voting for John McCain in the honor and memory of Spc Michael L Gonzalez, killed in Iraq on 8/28/2008 for peace. If your proud to be American then get out to vote, if your not registered then you better get on your knees and pray to your GOD that the right one gets in, because this country is going to hell..
Thanks Mr Pinkeyes

Dickhead
I say we write you in on the ballot. Cheers!
Your election day post is right on. Although, I do have great respect for John McCain as a former POW and man of conviction – who actually keeps his word. I do believe better days are ahead.
Mr Pink Eyes,
Today I pray that the right Commander in Cheif has been choosen for this country, but you know as an American citizen we need to hold them accountable for all of their actions. That is our right. At this time of corruption in this country we need to stand up and help the needy in our own towns. Protect our loved ones. Protect our children.
BTW You really need to put the newer post to the top its a real PITA scrolling down to the bottom to see new post.
Have a great day…
Proud Mother of Spc Michael L Gonzalez and Troy B Gonzalez
hey, need help.
my wife was watching fox news this morning and megyn kelly was talking about people celebrating in front of the white house w/ a communist flag? currently we are unable to find ANY info about this?
is it possible this could be a cover up? seems way too far fetched…
please respond…
mark
I heard about this on the radio also. I will be looking into it later to see what I can find.
great blog. Just started mine today after the election fiasco. come on over any time and comment. I’m really enjoying yours (boy do we have a lot in common)
Mark, the video is now up on my site, the flag was there.
Lincoln, I would love to check out your blog but you didn’t leave a link. If you read this please leave a link.
Sorry…I’m new at this..

Manage recession do not hive off people
Let us say u r a corporate/organisation and going to retrench people today or in immediate future.
Here is a way to save job/life of many people
1.Assume u r going to hive off 100 employees today which u think willl result in to cost saving for the organisation of certain amount.
2. Call all the 100 person tell them the truth and offer them 50% salary cut and 50% variable annual performance bonus if they are ready to change their KRA and ready to commit more revenue then currnet one.
3. In such case retain 50 best employees out retrenchment of 100 choosen.One can apply various tools even in retaining the 50 like their past history, past achievement track record, behaviour,ability to deliver in crisis. One can set a revised KRA/goals for such excersize.
4. I think such approach can save life of many plus both organisation and employees will go for better performance,better revenue and will innovate a lot. I think this is a win win situation rather then mass job cuts to cut cost.
I would like the decision makers to comment and will be happy atleast those who implement the above can post their comment rather then they cut jobs.
There are even something for those who have lost job recently. They in their CV/Bio-data can indicate that they are ready to work for 50% of their earlier pay package(last package drawn by them) and ready to get balance 50% by variable pay as performance bonus. Those who have been performance oriented and likes challance will certainly be successful during this recession period. and your chances of getting a new job is much higher then others.
What a concept hari64. here is my idea for the recession. Help take care of your own town, in my town there are 8,000 people and if everyone donated a dollar a month that could help alot of people, as long as those people are trying to help themselves. Don’t be afraid to go to goverment agencies. Why because if we werent in a recession they wouldnt have jobs. I have already helped my town the Spotswood Shop Rite has $1,300 dollars to donate to the CUP our food bank in Spotswood, plus tons of food. They have also made the first saturday of every month a food collection for the CUP, in the honor of my son Spc Michael L Gonzalez. for as long as Shop Rite is here in town. All I did was ask and let them know that there are food banks right here in my hometown of Spotswood 47 years and proud to be a resident.
God Bless America
Proudest Mother of Spc Michael L Gonzalez and Troy B Gonzalez
Are you there Mr PinkEyes?? You can use my e-mail to contact me I do not know why you cant get to my facebook. I am on a mission and I may need your help. I am English, Dutch and Hungarian and I have been treated badly.. My mother taught me to be a strong woman and that there is good and bad in everything..and my father taught me that politicians lie like the rug on the floor. Smart people neither on of them were college educated. Its all about COMMON SENSE…. I am madder then hell Mr Pinkeyes..
Очень даже любопытно. Особенно третье.
Mr Pinkeyes,
Today is 3 months Michael is gone from earth. I made a tribute to him.
http://WWW.Tagged.com/mommagonzo
Thanks
I wrote a tribute poem for all soldiers that have offered themselves for others.
http://rhymes-reason.blogspot.com/2008/03/poets-lament.html
Very well said.
What a great page in honor of your son, it must be so hard. Your son was a great man, and I am grateful beyond words at his sacrifice, and yours.
А интересно, если текст у вас копировать, ссылку куда лучше ставить прямо на эту страницу блога или же на главную страницу.
Интересный пост, спасибо. Интересует только вопрос – будет ли продолжение?
Mr Pinkeyes,
Do you know anyone that can translate chinese? The last post I googled and came up with an interesting site. Did you ever do that? I know you are because your a cigar smoking damn proud to be American Citizen
I love you for that.. Oh wait until you see Momma Gonzo in action, my husband says I cannot change the world but I am gonna to do everything and anything I can until the day I die..
nice website….the font size is easily readable….
u can check out this website too http://obama-biography.info
Thanks to you and others, we CONSERVATIVES are FEED UP. I know I am. I read your site everyday. I started http://www.Palinspired.com as I was inspired by Ronald Reagan, JC Watts and Sarah Palin. Keep up the good work!
ps. Do you Twitter? there is a new #TCOT group for conservatives.
You said:
“I don’t care if someone is a homosexual, but I don’t believe in homosexual marriage. I believe marriage was a religious institution therefore if it contradicts religious beliefs it should not be legal.”
You are EXACTLY right. Marriage is a religious institution. And what YOU believe and what anyone else believes is not the same. Therefore, if my religion believes in marriage between a man and man, then who are you to say that it shouldn’t be?
The REAL issue is government overstepping it’s boundaries and defining marriage for religion. Each religion must define what marriage is for it. The government has no place defining religious institutions.
I don’t “like” gay marriage, but I must respect their beliefs as people in the country. That is what America was founded for.
I don’t believe in the welfare state, I believe if you eliminate welfare it would force people who don’t want to work for a living to go to work. This in turn would make less jobs available for the illegal immigrants and they would have to go home.
OK, IDEALISTICALLY, THIS IS A GREAT IDEA, HOWEVER, REALITY IS THAT DURING “NORMAL” TIMES WHEN REPUBLICANS WEREN’T DESTROYING THE FREEWORLD, UNEMPLOYMENT HOVERED AROUND 4%. AND THE OPEN JOBS WERE MOST FOR EDUCATED PEOPLE IN MEDICAL FIELD OR HIGHLY TRAINED POSITIONS THAT REQUIRED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF FORMAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING. THEREFORE, THE TYPE OF WORKS THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT WOULD HAVE NEVER APPLIED FOR AND THE PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY FOR WELFARE COULDN’T GET HIRED FOR.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS THAT WELFARE IS A SYSTEM THAT NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO NEED IT.
MAYBE IF THE REPUBLICANS WOULD GET OUT OF BED WITH BIG BUSINESS THEN THE GOVERNMENT WOULD RAISE MINIMUM WAGE TO A LEVEL WHERE IF YOU WORKED 50 HOURS A WEEK YOU COULD ACTUALLY AFFORD A HOUSE AND FOOD.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO MAKE IT ON $6.25 AN HOUR WITH TWO KIDS?
I am tough on illegal immigration, I support a fence, and militarizing the border if neccessary. I believe illegal aliens should be deported when arrested. And I believe companies who hire them should face criminal action also.
I AGREE WITH THIS. NO DISAGREEMENT THERE. I SEE NO POINT IN LETTING ILLEAGAL IMMIGRANTS GO WHEN THEY ARE CAUGHT.
I am a hawk on national defense and the military.
I’M NOT SURE EXCATLY WHAT THIS MEANS, BUT IT SOUNDS SARA PALINESQUE. I’M ASSUMING THAT YOU SUPPORT BOMBING BROWN PEOPLE FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CAN COME UP WITH.
I don’t believe government should make laws to protect people from their own stupidity. In other words the Nanny State. I don’t believe the government has the right to regulate smoking in private buisnesses, seatbelts in cars, transfats, and the like.
YEA, AND WHILE YOUR AT IT, THE GOVERNMENT SHOULDN’T HAVE BRANCHES LIKE THE FDA EITHER. AND WHO NEEDS BUILDING CODES OR SANITATION REQUIREMENTS EITHER? IN FACT, LETS JUST DO AWAY WITH PUBLIC EDUCATION ALL TOGETHER. WHY PROSECUTE A MOTHER FOR HER STUPIDITY FOR NOT SENDING HER CHILD TO SCHOOL… OR STRAPPING HIM INTO A PROPER CHILD SEAT IN THE CAR? WE SHOULDN’T HAVE REGULATION ON COOKING REQUIREMENTS FOR RESTURANTS OR LABLES FOR FOOD. WHY SHOULD PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE CONSUMING. LET THEM GUESS.
I don’t believe in high taxes for social programs.
YEA, BECAUSE IT MAKES MORE SENSE FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SPEND $50K A YEAR ON A PRISONER THAN TO SPEND $35K ONE TIME FOR AN EDUCATION SO THAT SAME INDIVIDUAL CAN BECOME A DECENT TAX PAYING CITIZEN.
ITS CALLED INVESTING IN YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
I RESPECT YOUR “BELIEFS” BUT HONESTLY, YOU PEOPLE NEED TO STOP WITH ALL THE LIES ABOUT COMMUNIST FLAGS AND SOCIALISM AND TERROIST. IS THAT HONESTLY THE BEST YOU CAN COME UP WITH?
OBAMA IS GOING TO BE AN EXCELLENT PRESIDENT. AND LIKE HE SAID AT HIS ACCEPTANCE SPEECH… HE’S GOING TO BE YOUR PRESIDENT TOO. SO AS FAR AS IM CONCERED, WE CAN ONLY GO UP FROM HERE. BUSH AND HIS COMRADES HAVE DESTROYED THIS COUNTRY IN SO MANY WAYS. HOW CAN YOU GUYS BE SO UPSET ABOUT OBAMA WINNING THIS ELECTION WHEN THIS COUNTRY IS IN A WORSE CONDITION THAN WHEN BUSH TOOK OFFICE 8 YEARS AGO. ITS LIKE YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR ALLIANCES IN FRONT OF YOUR ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
I AM A BLACK MAN AND TRUST ME, THE BLACK COMMUNITY WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER SUPPORTED BARACK OBAMA IF WE SENSED THAT HE WAS NOT THE MAN HE HAS PORTRAYED HIMSELF TO BE. WE DID NOT SUPPORT JESSE JACKSON, WE DID NOT SUPPORT AL SHARPTON, OR ANY OTHER BLACK’S THAT HAVE RAN FOR PRESIDENT. WE SUPPORTED OBAMA BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT HE WILL BE A GREAT LEADER FOR THIS COUNTRY. I DON’T CARE ABOUT RACE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ISSUE ONE BIT.
WAS I PROUD? OF COURSE I WAS. I AM NOT GOING TO LIE AND NOT SAY THAT I WAS PROUD THAT A BLACK MAN WON, BUT HE WON BECAUSE HE WAS THE BEST CANDIDATE, PERIOD POINT BLANK. I WAS PROUD THAT AMERICA IS A COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND ACCOMPLISH WHAT HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED. I AM PROUD BECAUSE I CAN TELL MY SON AND DAUGHTER THAT THERE IS NOTHING HOLDING THEM BACK. MY GRANDMOTHER COULD NOT TELL MY MOTHER THAT. MY MOTHER COULD NOT EVEN ATTEND THE SAME COLLEGE THAT I GRADUATED FROM (THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA). AND THAT’S WHY I AM PROUD. FOR THE CHANGE THAT HAS COME OVER THIS COUNRTY SINCE 1964 WHEN BLACKS WERE ALLOWED THE RIGHT TO VOTE AND WHEN SEGEGATION WAS ABOLISHED. NOVEMBER 4, 2008 WILL BE A REMINDER OF HOW THOSE WALL HAVE BEEN DESTROYED AND HOW FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL BE AFFECTED. THATS WHY I WAS PROUD AND THATS WHY I CRIED.
I respect your “beleifs” also, but I am highly insulted that you can take my statement about being a hawk on national defence and use it to say that I want to bomb brown people for whatever reason I can come up with. That is ignorant and just a plain falsehood. I support military action against any country that poses a threat to the USA. It really isn’t that hard to understand. For you to make such a racist statement is deplorable.
Hello Mr Pink Eyes,
On a lighter note I got my Christmas present today.
http://ebs.gmnews.com/news/2008/1224/front_page/003.html
This is a link to my local paper. Merry Christmas to you and your family Mr Pink Eyes
Momma Gonzo
Good morning! I would like to trade blog addresses with you also. I just added you a few moments ago. I’m a die hard conservitive, fed up with our govt. the way she is today and tend to agree with Jefferson about overthrowing it every 200 years to keep it in “we the peoples” control! I’ve had your site in my fav places for some time. I just lately decided to get my blog up and running, so you are way beyond where I’m at. I’d like to join up also, is it the place right under your pic on the home page? Thanks for being all that you are, and having such an effective site!
Lakotalady
Hi Pam, thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your blog, I will be adding you to my blogroll right now.
Good morning,
How’s it going up there? I hope the weather shapes up for you soon.
I very much enjoy your blog, we seem to have similar beliefs and opinions, though I do tend to get carried away and wax extreme where you keep a pretty level keel. I respect that and often use your site to level me back out. Whereas I am a well educated and often well spoken man, I am quite passionate and opinionated and can come across as ignorant and arrogant. I also use your site, as well as Pro Patria, to help me express myself better to others without coming across as a wacko.
On that note, what do you think about Blago appointing the one man that the obama supportes would most like to see in the Senate? I think it’s a hoot. I do not support Blago, even though I think that a man is still innocent until actually proven guilty, but I have to say “Way to go Blago!” Ref: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081231/ap_on_go_co/illinois_governor_senate
Why is it not racism for B. Rush to say that since Burris is black, then the Dems back off from their stance of rejecting any appointee from Blago.

Hi Mr. Pink Eyes – I appreciate the blogging you’ve done about the Messiah – President Elect Obama, and also the stink of corruption that continues to surround many around him.
Some good news to report – so far over 16,000 people have signed a petition demanding Rahm Emmanuel refuse his selection to serve as Obama’s Chief of Staff in light of his involvement in the Obama Senate seat corruption scandal.
The petition text (and list of those 16,000+ signatures) can be found here: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ResignEmmanuel/
We’re going to be doing a TV ad campaign around the time of the innaguration to point out that Obama promsed “Change We Can Believe In” but has so far instead brought us a Commerce Secretary nominee (Bill Richardson) who had to recuse himself because of a corruption probe, and a Chief of Staff designee and administration in general that lied about the talks that took place with Blagojevich surrounding Obama’s successor in the Senate.
Do you notice that NOT ONCE was ANY consideration as to who would best represent THE PEOPLE but instead was all about who would be most politically ideal for Blagojevich or Obama!?!
Thanks Joe, I have signed the petition. It sounds like you are doing some fime work yourself. Good luck with the commercial, I “hope” to see in on television soon.
I was fired after 23 years of service from IRS in Fresno, Ca. on August 22, 2009 for taxes owed for year 2004. The reason was that I did not report $2,904 of income and $390 of withholding from a 1099. This resulted in a tax owing of $485. The 1099 was attached to my return with another 1099 that was for more money and was subject to the self employment tax. The SE schedule was attached and the SE tax was put on my return along with the income from the 1099.It was an HONEST MISTAKE and was not intentional.
Well the IRS Director did not see it that way and therefore I am receiving $124 a week on unemployment. I was off for two years with a hip injury, back injury, torn kneecap, tendons torn in my wrist from a fall at work (IRS) in August 30, 2006. I returned to work on April 28, 2009 using a wheeled -seat walker and splints on both wrist with a limitation of typing 15 minutes per hour only. I had knee surgery and have to have injections every six months for life, my hip is still injured and my wrist still needs surgery. I stopped using my walker so that I would appear normal to apply for jobs and took off the splints. I walk slowly so that I do not fall because I now limp. Why does Timothy Geither get to have this job as the HEAD OF IRS when he owed taxes of over $48,000 and I was fired for owing $485? Can President Obama or the committee that is approving his appointment answer this for me. Really FAIR IS FAIR. HE should lose his appointment per TITLE 5 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 752, STATES “because in order to promote the efficiency of the service according to Title 5 Code of Federal Regulations. Part 752. , Section 1203(b) (9) of the Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998(RRA98), his conduct violates a provision of other laws, rules, or regulations, including Section 2635.809 of the Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Standards of Conduct which states that employees shall satisfy in GOOD FAITH their obligations as citizens, including all just financial obligations, especially those such as Federal, State, Local taxes that are imposed by law. This is what IRS states when they fire employees if they owe taxes, so WHY doesn’t this apply to the HEAD OF IRS
Therese in Fresno, Ca
Wouldn’t it be great if all of the former IRS employees who were fired for owing taxes wrote to Obama and asked for their jobs back ,do you think Obama would forgive all of us for an HONEST MISTAKE and re-employee us. That would lower the unemployment rate in many states and he would look good,be a hero and ullfill part of his promises to create jobs. No that would be to easy.
Thanks for including the article titled ’650 Scientists Question Man-Made Global Warming’…. at a global warming conference no less! Another 17,200 scientists signed a petition where they believe the current available data does not support global warming as anything but a natural cycle.
It appears the fear mongering was a fund raising ploy and a means to increase fees, taxes and control the unruly masses.
I expect someone will come up with a creative way to blame us for the ice now thickening in Canada and slowdown in solar activity.
I want Obama to fail, too. I am a Democrat and been politically active for over 40 years. This guy is a big hoax. They’ll probably regret electing him. Don’t you worry too much. He will not turn out to be what you think he is… he has surprises waiting for Liberals and Conservatives.
Hi there. I’m a conservative humorist with a web site called The Endive. It’s in the spirit of The Onion, but with a conservative spin. I’m trying to build a grassroots following from the best conservative bloggers out there before I take it to the national stage. Please take a look at it when you get a chance (it’s work safe) and give me a call or e-mail. The url is http://www.theendive.com.

I recently moved my blog to WordPress and I was wondering if you could change your blogroll link to point to it. The address is the same except you replace blogspot with wordpress. I would type it out but it seems like I trigger a spam filter when I do.
No problem Terrant, I am doing it right now.
Mr Pink Eyes, I expect to be spending A LOT of time at your fine blog. Please check out mine when you get a chance. I think we have a great deal in common, including state of residence. I live up in the Great North Woods. I’ll be putting you on the blogroll in a few moments. Again, a very nice place you have here.
Joe
Thanks Joe, I am adding you right now. I look forward to reading your blog.
I am in the south, about 20 minutes over the Ma. border. We are being infiltrated down here!
Mr Pink Eyes. I think Ma. Gov. Deval Patrick should be allowed to pick your new senator. He’s already dictating tax policy. Boston Globe
This is obscene. I am starting a post on it right now! Thanks for the link.
A must read, to understand the origin of some of the changes we are enduring, is Global Governance by Henry Lamb. I just finished it and it appears we must move very quickly if we’re to save the USA.
I am going to have to check that one out. Thanks.
From one Granite State (former) resident to another, love the blog. I’ve added you to my “Blogs of Note” section on my own site, The Children Of The Revolution. Stop in and check it out some time. Keep up the good work.
Kudos to the mighty granite state and 4 legislators who are leading the way by presenting HCR 6 to affirm States Rights based on Jeffersonian principles. This is why and how we are still America. Several other states are following suit.
Thanks Ben, as luck would have it I just changed my URL, the old link should still be redirected here though. I will be adding you blog to my blogroll and I will be stopping by.
Hi Catherine, it sure is good to see that New Hampshire is fighting back. I hope all works out well on this issue. Time will tell.
I understand that several other states are considering a States rights resolution as well. It’s up to us to hold the thought and keep it alive by spreading the word. I found it at http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2009/HCR0006.html
America is still a land with options and we must use free speech while we can.
Personally, I think you have a great blog, and I appreciate your opinions and the fact you’re willing to let folks know about them. Congrats on taking the plunge with the new domain name – I think it’ll serve your site a lot better. I’d be quite honored if you’d consider adding my own humble site, http://wellsy.wordpress.com, to your blogroll. In any case, keep up the great work and fighting the good fight.
Thanks for all of the kind words Wellsy. I won’t stop fighting the good fight. I will be adding your blog to my blogroll and I will be stopping by. Thanks again.
Hey Pinkeyes, I saw on the news this morning that NH is looking at a 1 drink per hour/4 drinks max per sitting law… What the hell is going on over there? I’ve seen some silly nanny state crap lately, but I think that may be the silliest one yet. Any insight from you on this?
That is the first I have heard about this, I will look into it. If I find anything I will post it as soon as possible. You’ve got me all riled up now!
You were right Ryan, I found it. I will have a post on this when I get a chance. Now I am not just riled up, I am outraged!
Pretty crazy, huh? I figureed it was pretty bad when it made our local morning news here. Even they shook their heads over the nature of such a thing – which is pretty telling when it comes from the local news media!
It’s insane! I can’t believe that I missed this one. The story is up now.
hello- i just wanted to know if there was any possible chance i could get Mr. Pink Eyes last name to use for an english paper. i’d like to use his article from June 19, 2008. i’m doing a paper on handing out condoms in high schools, and i have to get a “for” and an “against” opinion article. and i found Mr. Pink Eyes’ “piece” on this( well, sort of?!) really interesting. if not, it’s cool! i’ll just use “Mr. Pink Eyes” as the “author. thanks for ur time!
Hi Naomi, thanks for using my post for your paper.
My name is Steve but I can’t give out my last name. I hope that you will understand.
Hi, Steve! I’m Roger.
I just tuned-in to your blog. Blogs are new to me — finding my way about how things work, the etiquette, etc.
I read your profile, Who Is Mr Pink Eyes, and I’m impressed. I’m a conservative libertarian. I think we libertarians and you conservatives have a lot more in common now than we ever did before, and we should associate and communicate more.
I agree with most of what you said you believe in, with reservations only in so far as might well exist between you and another conservative, that is, as far as the differences that exist between any two individuals, even of the same self-described label.
I wish you and your blog well, in all respects. I expect to tune in from time to time.
Thanks Roger, I think that you are right, conservatives and libertarians do have quite a bit in common, even moreso now. I do consider myself libertarian at heart, I think that conservative libertarian is a good description.
I look forward to seeing you around.
This page has errors: says “400 MILLION” in a couple places where it should be “400 BILLION”…..
http://americaswatchtower.com/2009/02/26/democrats-pass-400-million-spending-bill-with-8000-earmarks/
Keep posting the good stuff!!
Thanks!
You are right, I apologize. I guess I still can’t wrap my arms around now much money is being spent. I am going to fix that right now. Thank you for pointing it out and thank you for the kind words.
Great site Mr Pink Eyes. I’m new to WordPress but please to find you and your focused statement of what you believe.
I really appreciate your Constitution page. I am a professor of history and political science, sometimes a voice in the wilderness. I am adding a similar page about the Constitution but without the text. I am going to link readers to your page for the full text.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the kind words and for the link.
protest taxes on April 15th at the “tax day tea party” at Concord, Manchester and perhaps other locations, check out the discussion at
http://taxdayteaparty.com/teaparty/new-hampshire/
and email your friends!
I like the new look, Mr. Pinkeyes! It’s a great page.
I’ve been away for awhile, too amused at the stupidity of government and too outraged to say anything for fear of frothing at the mouth.
Thanks Mustang. The new look is about two weeks old while the new header image is less than a week old. The old header image didn’t match the color scheme. Without trying to sound as arrogant as Obama, I love this new look also. I am very happy with it. Thanks for the input. I understand what you are talking about when you say that you are too outraged. Sometimes it does a person good to step away for a while.
I continue to enjoy your stuff Mr. Pink Eyes. My latest entry might interest you. I did a bunch of research about FDR supporters who left him and the current Obama crew. Here’s the link if you’re interested.

Thanks, I will check it out when I have a chance.
I absolutely love your website. Thank you for creating it. I have attempted to get into the blogging world but have been atrocious at keeping it up, fresh and original, so I am turning to other places to post comments and questions. I wanted to pose a question to you for your, or anyone else’s, perspective. It’s clear to me that Obama is systematically dismantling our economy and sneaking in executive orders and bills for Senate rubber stamping that will bring he and the Democrats to complete and permanent control of the country in every way. And we’ve lost all hope of Republicans standing up for and fighting for conservative principles if Michael Steele is any example of that party’s leadership, which makes me REALLY worried about the races in 2010, which I see as the milestone that will dictate whether there’s any hope for this country. I love the blogs and I love the internet community of conservative writings and thinking, but how does this come together in a way that enables us to stop this madness? I try my best to boil issues down to bare bones for those people I meet that aren’t completely Obama-ized (I feel they are beyond hope), but how do we as a collective group get through to those people that “are too busy” to really dig into these issues and understand them. At a minimum I try to get these people to sign up for the Morning Bell from The Heritage Foundation. My thought is that if they really knew what was going on under the covers here, they’d get fired up. I just have to believe that. Any perspectives would be appreciated. I have four kids under 5, I am worried sick about their future, and I am struggling with how I can make a difference for them beyond ranting on my pathetic blog. Thanks, in advance, for responding with your perspectives.
Thanks,
I think that by the time 2010 rolls around that many people will have seen what this guy is really about. I do think that the election in 2010 will go our way, maybe I am just an opitmist.
I am not sure how we can coordinate the message, I too have reservations about Michael Steele, or at least the start that he got off to. I just hope that the bloggers are able to attract enough people and we are able to get the message out there. I think as Obama continues down this path more and more people will turn to the internet to see what the reaction is.
did that you idiot
they only show up if you want them to
go put your pistol in your hand
try to be a human and do yourself a favor
when days are bleak and you have no food OR shelter
don’t look up the people that have
everything that you do not
which is courage, honesty and strength.
You are preying on the weak you mothafucka.
That is why you would not let my ideas go through
FUCK YOU JAMES JONES REINCARNATE
Leave these people alone
let them have a life and faith
LET THEM LIVE you soul stealing MOTHERFUCKER
Always treading on the weak you fool
Go back to the place that God has assigned you. Wrapped in chains and in in the most UNGODLY place that any angel OR human would want to spend eternity.
BET this won’t be on here either
What are you talking about?
Denise, I understand how you feel, especially with young children. The senate just passed HR 1388 which is Obama’s youth corps (deceptively called the “give” act) Buried in the law is a consideration to make the volunteerism mandatory. A massive wilderness bill was also just passed which will lock up more of our resources (or give them to China?) Another bill moving quickly through the house will make it difficult to have home gardens or livestock without government intervention. The billions for education I suspect will mandate some form of indoctrination that will go well beyond being forced to watch ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. Europe is aghast at our reckless and frantic spending. The US wage earners are wringing their hands while the deadbeats gleefully have their hands out.
Acorn appears to be Obama’s mini mob with bus loads being dispatched to intimidate those who publicly question the messiah. They have become part of the census for a reason. This is clearly an administration with questionable intent for our country.
The 9-12 project is a start. The now have a membership of around 250,000 very concerned citizens. My small contribution is to get on every news comment section (esp Alaska where they are trying to destroy Palin) to counter the propaganda of the thousands of left wing paid bloggers. Your local paper is a start.
Your ranting is more important than you think . Your kids future is at stake here. I’m glad mine are now old enough to run for their lives.
Another good thing is to support states rights in the 34 states who have introduced legislation and those who are considering it. It’s possible that the Obama administration is looking for a loophole to stop states rights so time is of the essence. I sincerely hope accepting the stimulus funds didn’t have any clause taking away states rights. If not, states have a chance to stand up to this oppressive and destructive government.
We had a state’s rights bill in New Hampshire but it was defeated.
It doesn’t appear “me” has anything of any value to contribute. While debate is a good thing, I’m not sure it’s helpful coming from someone who appears to be criminally insane (or from Acorn?) He may be just one of those love struck lemmings who wants a free ride. I’m grateful we were spared “me’s” ideas and hope we will be spared any more.
You are a great American, Mister Pink Eyes. I like what you’re doing, so take my advice, and don’t stop. Is there any chance that you network on Facebook? Peace.
Thank you David, I won’t stop. I am actually javing fun doing this. I do have a Facebook page but I haven’t done anything with it. Someday I will probably get it going properly.
This looks to me like a hostile take over of our beloved country by power hungry spend-o-holics. I don’t know why New Hampshire lost its way and its marbles , to let the spend and waste liberals brainwash every one into believing a direction against theor freedom and common sense.
This euphoric drunken stupor congress is in, wasting today by using up tomorrow, is frightening.
I think the voting public has gone soft and is mesmerized with some sort of solidarity against rationality and effort, in the hopes that a victory can be achieved over actually earning their value by effort in exchange for Utopian idealism on the back of political leverage .
America used to be based on a work effort that your value was yours to create and maintained with your value to society. That is being erased daily by an all out effort by organized groups that want more of the pie than they put in, and the method of political extortion to create value has become all too common.
This is what the democrats and other socialists bring to our fair land, this is to be feared as they have the public sympathy. How did Germany fall for Hitler? Look around you…there is a glassy eyed numbness that permeates the land and corruption and lies is having its day.
Steve
I am giving some serious thought abput moving to your state. I have been in vermont for 5 years and can’t deal with it any more.
The question is your state has been voting increasingly Democratic, is it going to go the way of the rest of New England or do I look to move to South Carolina?
George
May I answer that.
Don’t run but do find a place to stand and fight!
The Communists dressed in liberal overcoats are everywhere and destructive forces have stained the fabric of America all around us. If we do not fight and stand for America, or New Hampshire or anywhere else, we have accepted the defeat that socialists all around this country have been programing our youth to accept.
Every one in America has got to draw a line in the sand, and especially the voting booth and start thinking of their country and not their party. Incumbents must go and fresh new people have got to be backed. Every aspect of our way of life is threatened by budget over reaching and social engineering promoted from childish desires to be insured protection by the government.
As it stands America is facing a temporary financial set back that is being fostered into a permanent generational debt and enslavement toward Washington ideals not the American individual. We are heading toward a time of political extortion where value of the individual is being transgressed to enhance the ideals of one group. This is not our founding principles nor the ones that have made us greater ideal to promote until now. What we do at this moment on, will define our future and our children’s freedom or servitude to the state.
People have got to stay awake on this.
Power given over to the government to insure self preservation is always abused.
We as a nation will survive as a free people only if we fight for people who will limit government power not enhance it.
The liberals are no longer the consciensious objectors to stagnating ideas and principles,
they are the established power and using it like an ax to take away our heritage, our liberties and our children’s chances to be free with mounting debt and stifling, servitude to the overlords style social engineering.
Where ever you go you will need to make a stand. NH welcomes principled people, at least I do.
Hello George,
I’m not “the” Steve, but can give you some insight. As a 23 year resident of Massachusetts, but now a South Carolinian, I can tell you that it is a better way of life here.
Ronald wrote “Don’t run but do find a place to stand and fight”, but I don’t look at it as running, rather fighting from a different, much more pleasant location.
South Carolina has an interesting mix of moderates on both sides of the fence. Contrary to what the liberal extremists will paint as a state full of right wing extremists, it is not — in fact, that is a complete fabrication. The people here believe in individual rights and freedoms. They are also more socialistic on some fronts than any liberal will ever admit. The moderate conservatives and moderate democrats here are very generous and giving people, who will do whatever they can to help their neighbors. They don’t ask for a person’s political ideology before extending a helping hand — they just help.
Another thing that surprised me was that the amount of racism and bigotry here is far less than in New England. The liberals “say” they want diversity, but they only tolerate it if said diversity adheres to their political views. Blacks and Hispanics in Massachusetts were treated terribly if they voiced any non-liberal political views.
Unfortunately, there is a very vocal minority of extreme left wing liberals who are here to cause as much disruption as possible. They appear to be very well financed, but I am not sure where the money comes from. They antagonize and do their best to divide people against each other. It is not subtle in any way. They use intimidation and violence same as the unions do if some member speaks against a union directive (a strike, etc). These are hardcore liberal extremists, and in my opinion they are funded by sources outside America. I have no proof, but I met a couple of them. They don’t work, but they post to various blog sites, craigslist, etc., incessantly. Their hateful drivel is clearly intended to divide people against each other. I know some folks will say I’m paranoid, but I am observant and patient, and believe beyond any doubt that it is happening. The DHS report of left wing extremists using “cyber space” as their next battleground is on target. It is already happening.
Anyway, if you are seriously considering a move, you should plan a vacation to South Carolina. The “upstate” is a beautiful and friendly location. The people are very nice, and the scenery, albeit quite different from the quaint charm and beauty of the mountain villages of Vermont, is beautiful nonetheless. Within a short distance the mountains of western North Carolina are majestic, to say the least. The climate is mild, utility costs are significantly lower, food costs are lower, and housing is dramatically lower cost (hence associated property taxes are much lower).
If you have children, you will find the public education system here is not as good as in Vermont — but it depends on what town you are in to a large degree. There are ample private schools here, to make up for the difference. While Vermont is in the top 10, South Carolina hovers around #26 most years, clearly “average”. However, the statistic is somewhat misleading because of the way the urban areas are handled (very sub-par, unfortunately). They, as in many states, have been overrun by liberals who believe if you throw enough money at a problem, the solution will magically occur. The small towns in South Carolina are far better than the cities of the state. That same fact is reflected in crime rates, where the high crime rate of the cities makes the state rate appear higher than it really should be. The small towns do not have those problems.
South Carolina is not perfect. I don’t know of any state that is. But I have lived in the states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Iowa, Texas, New Mexico, Massachusetts, North Carolina and South Carolina, and I have traveled all 50 states. South Carolina is as good as any, in my opinion, and the people here are second to none.
Good luck with your decision, no matter where you land. America is still a great nation, and with some teamwork we can bounce back to the pinnacle of greatness of yesteryear.
I just stumbled on the site while looking up some of Obama’s policies, and its refreshing to see that some people do call it like it is based on facts and common sense. I like your take all the issues you address and agree with a lot of it. Im a Mass resident, so I really cant get two words in when talking about politics, as mostly everyone I know is a very liberal. As a mid to low income worker, Ive worked had for everything I have. From Obamas venture into the free market, to the administration calling our soldiers, our protector, threats to our country, its all very disturbing. Keep calling it like it is and thanks for the read.
Thank you, I hope to see you around here more in the future.
I’ll make my stand in Texas! But I still stand with you all.

Mr Pink Eyes —
I posted earlier in response to your “it’s time to take back the government”, not realizing that your intention was to return it to The People, not the Republicans — now that makes much more sense! And I apologize for posting on your blog without doing my homework first.
I don’t agree with some of your positions — e.g. seat-belts (here I’m pro-life) or Roe v. Wade (here I’m pro-freedom (ain’t life ironic?) — but I like your easy manner, honesty, humor, and courtesy — yes, even to those crass and totally unhelpful hit-and-runners.
Frankly — if I’m understanding your positions correctly — I’m not sure how realistic it is at this point to go back to a hands-off, anti-federalist, sink-or-swim America, as intertwined as the states and central government are at this point, and as dependent as so many people are on ‘hand-outs’. I fear that far too many would sink like a stone and end up in shanty towns on the edges of our cities, like in Brazil ! But, then again, maybe not — babied people definitely become more helpless (vide ‘Big Babies’ by Brit author Michael Bywater) , so maybe the reverse is true too. And SOME ‘bold experiment’ that would be, eh!
Good luck with your mission, although I suspect that your best bet might be to get New Hampshire to secede from the Union, and build your perfect society there. And who knows, I might even come join you if Obama turns out to be a pied piper leading us all to our doom…… But you’ll have very sensibly built your own protective wall by then!
Sorry, no blog or website. Insufficient time, ego or stuff worth sharing.
Live fat-free or die
Pete
Thanks Pete,
It is hard being an anti-federalist constitutionalist but that is kind of where I find myself. The goal of states rights is not realistic as you said, so then I would prefer constitutionalism, as a meand to limited government. The anti-federalist founders were afraid that what is happening today is what would happen. And I don’t just mean with Obama, it has been a gradual process.
I can be pretty crass myself once in a while.
As for New Hampshire, we recently had a bill to reafirm state sovereignity under Jeffersonian principles in the state houe. It was beaten down handily.
Don’t you understand? Pelosi has to go to allow the “right” socialist to be in that seat when the time comes for what inevitably will happen. Steny will be next in line. If the left didn’t get Nancy out of the line of succession by this particular issue, it would have been something else. It all has to happen before Obama’s huge popularity goes down much further because they want to hold him up as a great leader when they blame it all on the conservatives.
Remind you of anything? Any time in history? Anyone?
Awesome blog! Your principles are straightforward and founded in solid conservative values, which I appreciate. I’m the administrator and creator of a blog written by a group of 18 & under conservatives, and let me just say – it’s a comfort that people like you are still the backbone of our community.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for the kind words. It is so reassuring to see that there are still young conservatives out there. You are going to be the backbone of this country moving forward.
MP, I’m wondering, after reading an old entry of yours on leaving the Republican Party, where you ended up. It was my first blog of yours I’ve read and I loved it. I read through your “about me” section and we are very much the same in our views. As someone who is disgusted with the Republicans, I’m wondering where you wound up.
Todd
Thanks Todd, I am still in the Republican party, I never made it to the town hall to undeclare. I am still disgruntled with the party, the two parties are becoming too alike. But where else can I go? I find myself leaning more and more towards libertarianism but that party seems to go too far for its own good. Do you have any ideas?
I think the power in washington corrupts all who go there so the parties are shapping themselves to attract that corruption, which makes them two sides of the same coin.
I believe the first victory has to be at the state and local level and grasp the conscience of americans before they lose their country to the socialist endoctrination that is upon us.
Who voted for open borders, who voted for illegals to have a free pass on financial responsibility, who votes for devaluating those that toil to be given away as a political favor to some group that has gained the ear of washington, and who in their right mind has voted to cost their kids their earned value by allowing washington to bail out the rich investors and companies so Congress could hide behind its charade and keep the laws in place it secured to make its friends wealthy??
What American has turned away from defending his children by not defending his country over some lame social advantage over another mans rightfully earnedvalue. Never do I hear the voice of reason as these cowards weilding power over others tear up families and destroy the value of the toiling masses to enslave a country to a political will chosen by those in power and not by the people.
The clowd of socialism is taking away the value of the silent majority as we speak and the hope of beating back this mind set needs to be address with your children and at the local level. Each town has got to be heard, and every state has to be won back by voices being heard. Maybe not a call to arms but certainly a call to speak out.
There are too many educators speaking the praises of Socialism and lying about capatalism with no challenge in public. We must become that challenge if we are to win our country back. Otherwise prepare for political coercion to be the rule of law, and silence to be a necesary skill .
MP,
I agree with you, both parties are looking a whole lot alike. My father has always told me that a poltician, no matter the party, has only one job once they get elected: get re-elected, and the people be damned.
I honestly think a new political party needs to either be formed, or re-shaped around conservative priniciples, values, and freedom. Not one that sneaks in drug legalization, or other pet projects, but a party that doesn’t want enough planks to make a deck out of the Atlantic Ocean. We need a party that believes in the Constitution, the military, national security, freedom, liberty, and all the things that America once stood for.
That is so true, they are constantly running for re-election. There is another party that is just being formed called the American Conservative Party that looks interesting, but it is in its infancy and is not yet in every state. It may be viable some day.
The age-old pesky U.S.-Mexico border problem has taxed the resources of both countries, led to long lists of injustices, and appears to be heading only for worse troubles in the future. Guess what? The border problem can never be solved. Why? Because the border IS the problem! It’s time for a paradigm change.
Never fear, a satisfying, comprehensive solution is within reach: the Megamerge Dissolution Solution. Simply dissolve the border along with the failed Mexican government, and megamerge the two countries under U.S. law, with mass free 2-way migration eventually equalizing the development and opportunities permanently, with justice and without racism.
To read details, click the url above.
RE: Megamerge Dissolution Solution (Winslow)
Sounds like the same old Union of North America all over again. It is a foolish proposition. The wealthy would hoard the “new” riches, while the middle class of America would inherit the cost of 100 million Mexicans who would expect/want free health care, welfare and immunity from prosecution for crimes. For generations they have existed where the accepted way of life is to bribe public officials to get what one needs/wants. That would not change — at least not in the immediate future. We have enough trouble with corrupt politicians without adding fuel to the fire.
And you claim “the border IS the problem”, but that is an absurd and unthought premise. The world is full of boarders, including all the state-state boarders within America. The boarder is NOT the problem — PEOPLE are the problem. Lack of resolve in defending the boarder is the problem. Giving illegal aliens a false promise is the problem. Why should they be granted all that they are granted when millions from other nations are not? It is unfair, and is the result of corrupt politicians seeking advantage.
America has established procedures for immigrating into our nation. Millions of people legally follow[ed] those procedures. Now, because a bunch of bleeding-heart corrupt and self-serving politicians decide, in their infinite wisdom, that we should simply open the door for the southern boarder, we have a great burden that we can ill-afford.
Your proposition is unfounded, and is foolish. It would harm the average American citizen beyond repair.
If Mexicans want “our” way of life (which they don’t really — else they would work to learn English and assimilate; but most do NOT) — they should rise up and change their OWN government. It’s what people do when things are not just.
All I ask is that you read the article before commenting.
Hear, hear Steve. Well said. I, for one along with millions of others, am tired of the errosion of this once great country and the principles upon which it was built. I have great hopes for the American Conservative Party but am afraid that that route will be too slow and tedious which will cause it’s ultimate failure.
If we do not take immediate and drastic measures to restore our system, then I am certain that we will see the next civil war.
As for Mexico, their complacency and lack of ambition or desire to take back their country is their reward and speaks the the character of the people in general. And that is not the character that will benefit us as a Nation. It is not unjust to preserve our border but quite the contrary. It is the solemn duty of our government to preserve our borders and our national sovereignty, as well as our state sovereignty. To dissolve the border with Mexico would be a grave injustice to the American people that have worked to build this country, those that serve to protect us and to the Mexican people as well. Sometimes,quite often actually, tough love is all that has a lasting effect. It is not love to continue enabling the lazy and the dissident to leach off of society, it is far better, far more just, to allow them to suffer until they actually take an active role in providing for themselves. There is a difference between charity and total support. Charity helps those in need to better their lives and become self sufficient. Total support enslaves and oppresses self sufficiency. No culture has ever befitted from another providing for them to the point of dependency, they only become more dependent upon the first and eventually slaves, in reality if not in name. You are not free if you have to depend upon another to provide for you, nor are you free if you allow the government to force you to provide for someone who simply will not provide for themselves. And on that note, charity is freely given not forcibly taken, ie tax.
If the French could reclaim their country from tyrants, then why can’t the Mexicans?
That is the problem with the American Conservative Party, it is in its infancy, it would take years and years of hard work to even gain anything. We don’t really have that much time.
How is it that there are still people who believe a border is causing the distress.
People that do not respect borders do not respect other people, removing the border would not suddenly change that.
How is it that people of knowledge always assume that the enforcer of safety, concern tolerance and constitutional protection is always in the wrong and some sudden shift in human nature and its devious practices will suddenly wash away when those defenders lower their guard???
Life has borders of respect, morality and concern. When those borders are not enforced, supported or maintained then nothing keeps out the aggressor. Do not mistaken immigration violation as an act of casual dis-concern. It takes an aggressor to break laws and to hide from their responsibilities. No person of concern for their children’s safety would ever acknowledge that the path of a border less society is a safer one.
The people who keep promoting no borders are the same ones stealing other’s value to gain their position of higher morality at the sacrifice of the innocents that get consumed in the wake of illegal immigration and the lawlessness it is spawned from.
I for one am not willing to trade my values so some liberal can feel good about some non committal type politics so that words and excuses can be laid upon the public for the ineptitude of the next failed impotent idea that come along.
It takes a backbone to preserve liberty.
It takes respect and a willingness to address that with concrete ideas and methodology to maintain it. If we can’t get INS off their fat butts they should be eliminated and the borders should be made physical in every way including at the airports.
If America can’t stand for itself it will be mired down by the politics of corruption until it fails.
Let me just interject a premise. The government in its currents state is in opposition to all ten Commandments. So with calculated good reason they are not going to enforce any thing that resembles a border, a respect of them or desire to create an environment that doesn’t put them in the seat of judgment of all things.
The philosophy laid down by the Bible does enlighten one to the awareness men have had of tyrannical leadership and its aims. We are being oppressed with a methodical demise of our true freedoms and liberties that our forefathers annunciated so well at the hand of a government bent on deceiving and stealing all that isn’t theirs to take, because they themselves don’t believe they were endowed by God.
Their actions have been totally to obscure your independence and to steal power from the masses. We are in trouble. No political party is there, in present form to deflect the onslaught that has begun with an American College system sustained rhetoric and desire to subjugate the minions under intellectual supremacy by a said group.
Our government is completely off on a tangent of self proclaimed defiance of our once sacred defense of Gods true gift of self independence and respect of each others liberties and freedom. They are on a path of consolidation of power over the people and taking away the constitutional protection with every move they make now.
The people must act or we will become a country based totally on political coercion and deception, like the countries we have apposed in our short 250+ year existence.
All your comments are a gas, but they betray a failure to read my groundbreaking article, wherein I already answered all your objections in advance, or you would have known that. So if you won’t read mine, I won’t read yours. If you’re the representatives of current American Conservativism, it’s sick

Ms. Winslow,
Why do you always assume that comments posted here were done so without reading the drivel posted at your blog?
I read your “Dissolution Solution”, and then I read it again. Trust me: you’re no genius.
I thought about the content; but at every turn I could not help but believe it is rubbish. You come across as being on a MAJOR ego trip, promoting your self-proclaimed Excellency title more than the so-called “solution”, which in fact is absurd.
You seem to believe that people should give you credit for something, and that if they disagree, then it means they didn’t really read your drivel.
You claim “The border IS the problem”, which is itself like a statement straight out of the Twilight Zone. I’ve listened to Alzheimer’s patients that made more sense than you. You’re the person who says “They just want to help us.” about the aliens who carry the book “How to Serve Man”, and deny that it’s really a cookbook even while they are feasting on those around you.
After reading your article, I decided that in fact your name is fake — used as encouragement for illegal aliens…. Win Slow. Because that’s exactly what they are doing. They are working in a concerted effort to tear down this great nation, not to be a part of building it into a greater and stronger nation. They burn our flag, or fly it upside-down under their own, claiming that “Aztlán” is theirs to take back. They have extraordinarily large numbers of children, to effect a long-term plan to wear us down. They cheat our system — they use false identification, identity theft, insurance fraud, welfare fraud, and all manner of criminal behavior to get their way.
Now, quite obviously not all of “them” do those things. But my exaggeration is no more of a stretch than your fantasy about “The border IS the problem.”
Why do you want to slap the face of every legitimate immigrant who worked hard, and in many cases risked their very life, to come to America to BE an American? Millions of immigrants from all over the world have come here and worked to succeed. They study and they become contributing members of our society. Better we should parter with France, or Germany or Japan or India, or any of a vast number of other countries, than partner with Mexico simply because it is geographically convenient. Mexicans have had the same opportunities that Americans had for the past 400 years — what have they done with those opportunities? Their nation is a disgrace among the nations of the world, with but a mere handful being worse. To advocate a partnership with such a nation is blatantly anti-American, in my opinion. It would be akin to asking Sweden to partner with Somalia. The incompatibility is virtually infinite. A partnership of such kind would break down both partners, rather than build a strong team.
You assert that people who speak against ILLEGAL ALIENS are xenophobic — a pathetic slur. I see no great effort to impede the legal immigration of Hispanic people — it is the ILLEGAL immigration that people are opposed to; and rightly so. If we had the same flood of illegal aliens from any other country coming here and abusing our systems and perpetrating the percentage of crime that the illegal aliens from points south do, the outcry against them would be equal. For you and your ilk to cry “xenophobic” is a worn out diversionary tactic. Everybody with any sense at all knows it to be a falsehood.
Think about this:
Americans openly accept peoples from virtually every nation on the planet. Hispanic people are NOT any less welcome. For you to profess that they are less welcome is an insult to honest hard-working Hispanic people. It is the same strategy as changing the term “illegal alien” to “undocumented citizen”, which is now the phrase of choice in so many “sanctuary” cities across the nation (which, by the way, are suffering greatly as a direct result of the influx of illegal aliens who are criminals).
Your writings reek of Agenda.
You claim to be a “historyscoper”, but it seems to me you have a great deal to learn about people.
Have read, full of assumptions not reality, and very much self bloating.
Everything is worthy of debate and nothing should ever be taken as so genius that it not be rejected on its mere premise that it discounts what it calls prejudices, which just may be natural human justifiable defenses of the risks involved.
Good people do not ask others to carry the burden of histories flaws and invent a solution based on the assumption that all the past was wrong and that some new way of thinking will suddenly cure all ills. That is blindness in nature and born of naiveté`or worse arrogance.
I grew up in a mixed city.
Your assumptions of us being unable to read points to the very flaw of your genius.
The fall of California can certainly be blamed on greedy politicians, special interests and taxpayer support of illegal immigrants. But it’s all a moot point as Canada and Russian have tried to alert us to the big picture…the one the MSM tries desperately to hide.
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/11753
So you finally read it, after all those previous posts where you
It’s
If you really think my
obviously didn’t? Well, great, and twice too, congrats, I wished
I could find more people like you. You even figured out that
Winslow is win plus slow. Guess what, that’s the opposite of
lose plus fast, so the handwriting is on the wall, isn’t it?
also in slow, like in real hard to get out
name is fake, that gives you away, since you coulda followed
the links on the Web site to my bio. on MySpace, complete with
recent photo, proving I’m a gringo too.
Let’s examine your article, which I read 12 times
My assertion that the border is the problem is like the To Serve
Man episode of the Twilight Zone starring Richard Kiel? Is that
so because you said so, or because you saw it as a kid and can’t
get over the nightmares? Then you must think that after millions
of gringos move south, they will end up on Mexicans’ plates, maybe
as tasty menudo. Sorry, I think your mind is in lala land, not mine.
The U.S. has 50 states now, and it’s filled with all kinds of peoples,
but it’s under U.S. law, meaning that they can’t just walk into your
house and move in, but must buy it or rent it first, and can’t live
by stealing unless they want to face the law. As a practical matter,
Mexicans end up living with other Mexicans, while gringos live
with gringos, with some interface areas. All a megmerge will
do is end the *!?* border, but retain U.S. law, which is the part
you can’t seem to grasp. All that will end besides the border is the
corrupt Mexican government, the real problem, like I said, if
you read it twice maybe you need to read it thrice. But it will
cause a totally new phenomenon, gringo migration to the south,
which I think you still don’t get.
Let me quote you:
“Because that’s exactly what they are doing. They are working in a concerted effort to tear down this great nation, not to be a part of building it into a greater and stronger nation. They burn our flag, or fly it upside-down under their own, claiming that “Aztlán” is theirs to take back. They have extraordinarily large numbers of children, to effect a long-term plan to wear us down. They cheat our system — they use false identification, identity theft, insurance fraud, welfare fraud, and all manner of criminal behavior to get their way.”
And again:
“Mexicans have had the same opportunities that Americans had for the past 400 years — what have they done with those opportunities? Their nation is a disgrace among the nations of the world, with but a mere handful being worse. To advocate a partnership with such a nation is blatantly anti-American, in my opinion. It would be akin to asking Sweden to partner with Somalia. The incompatibility is virtually infinite. A partnership of such kind would break down both partners, rather than build a strong team.”
You point to a number of bad Mexicans, and try to characterize them
all from that small sample. That’s called the fallacy of composition,
Google it. Actually, most Mexicans are good people, that’s what
my article you said you read twice says, and I stand by it. They’re
an okay people, if you’re not a white racist, that is. True, there’s a
dire lack of Mexican elite scientists etc., but there have been some
good ones, so I’m sure it’s just a cultural thing which can be fixed.
Racism is the only real thing standing in the way of the Megamerge
Dissolution Solution, including Mexican racism, man that
red-white-green flag must really get to you, it represents centuries
of successful conquests of weaker nations, I see how quick you are
to see the mote in your neighbor’s eye when you have a beam in
your own, what TZ episode was that? I never claimed I can implement
the solution, I admitted I’m not a politician just an independent
thinker, I’m only publishing it and trying to get at least a million
people to read it to throw it into the public arena for a proper
consideration, hoping to get real politicians interested and to
keep it from being distorted. Sorry, but your lame objections will
be long forgotten by then. My idea is pure, a result of tons of thinking,
and if it’s not perfect then I’m open to real ideas to make it better, not
lame verbal torpedoes that smell like turds.
Partner? Where do I use that term? Megamerging Mexico with
the U.S. is not in the same league with “partnering” with some
country, I’m sure you mean a white one, preferably blonde too,
with a Swedish bikini team. I don’t want to partner with Mexico,
I want to dissolve their country, along with its flag, which anybody
can continue to use for clothing or cake icing if they like the color
scheme, it doesn’t mean anything to me. They’re not only our
next-door neighbors, with a 2K mile common border, and are
languishing in 3rd world poverty while we’re supposedly the
world’s #1, but the border with Mexico is more like a tourniquet
on a leg, which tightening only can lead to gangrene, and I don’t
blame them for doing everything in their power to sneak past it
and try to have a life in our country, where they can hope to
be accepted as at least as good as everybody else, despite that
“illegal” baloney, talk about a victimless crime, I do illegal
things all the time, like jaywalk, why don’t they, er, forget it.
A government has a limit to its power, and its treatment
of Mexican immigrants is over the limit.
What is your answer to my prediction that one day the poverty
and grudges will build up until the cruddy Mexican government
is overthrown by an outright Mexican Castro, who just wants to
destroy us? A war, yipee, you get to man a tank and kill all the
Mexicans you want? Sorry, but Fidel already proved that if he allies
with our main enemies Russia and/or China he can neutralize us,
because the world has been shrinking and the good ole days of
splendid isolation and the Monroe Doctrine are kaput. With the
MDD it never has to reach that point. But first racism has to be
gotten past, and no more grudges given. Why are you so eager to
keep the border going anyway? Maybe I should update my
article to compare this attitude with Apartheid, it reeks of it,
you’re the one who brought up Africans and Swedes in the
same breath.
I knew you’d mention Aztlan AKA Reconquista. Well, if so,
more power to them, Aesop lives. The U.S. virtually stole half
their country once, and without it, the runt country that’s left
was totally unable to prosper economically, which would be
true even if it were all gringos, which I tried to explain in detail
in my article, because of the lack of good agricultural land or
river transport system. You bring up Japan. Yes, they can’t
feed themselves either without imports, maybe you’re getting
warmer, now look more east and there’s Big Red, itching to
partner the hard way, via military conquest if/when they can
afford all the ships, plans and tanks, which is yet another
reason that the MDD is vital to create a real ocean-bound border
that is more defensible on a world level. As a historyscoper,
I realize the historical importance of it, sorry.
Again, you mention how them pesky cockroach Mexicans are
making you sweat by obeying God’s own orders in the Bible
(or should we take it out of the discussion?) to be fruitful and
multiply. Sorry, that’s their right. Who’s stopping gringos from
having ten kids per family? I guess you skipped over the part
twice where I said that after millions of gringos move south,
and build new cities, they are liable to breed like rabbits, and
might outnumber Hispanics. Or is that full of rabbit pellets?
I base it on history, right here in the U.S., where the great
migration to the Am. West caused just such a white rabbit
pop. explosion a century ago. Yes I am just extrapolating,
sorry, I must not be a genius like you, but a 9-foot Kanamit
peddling my “agenda” of a cookbook while the transport
spaceships are queuing at the spaceport, nobody likes
climbing a ladder, that’s why there’s a conveyor belt.
You like to descend to turd throwing and call my great article
that got you so worked up “rubbish”. Well, names don’t hurt
me, but examples can. Here’s a quote from you:
“Americans openly accept peoples from virtually every nation on the planet. Hispanic people are NOT any less welcome. For you to profess that they are less welcome is an insult to honest hard-working Hispanic people. It is the same strategy as changing the term “illegal alien” to “undocumented citizen”, which is now the phrase of choice in so many “sanctuary” cities across the nation (which, by the way, are suffering greatly as a direct result of the influx of illegal aliens who are criminals).”
Is that what they call circular reasoning, or am I so famished
from lack of gringo pot pie that my pea brain is missing some
cylinders? Americans like you openly accept them, but after
they get here they are illegal aliens, and not entitled to sanctuary?
Google 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act to see how the very idea of
illegal aliens started as anti-Asian racism, I just called to say
I love you. So now you claim we openly accept them, but at the
same time to even partner with them is blatantly anti-American,
that’s how welcome they are, duh, what do you think I have
stamped on my forehead, the word dumbass? Or did you slip
and actually start thinking a little, letting my solution get to
you? Oh, sorry, you left a back door open and said virtually
every nation, that must exclude them, because you also said
Hispanic and not Mexican, how low of you. And another back
door, the word illegal, I see, I see, they jaywalked. But but but,
what are you gonna DO about their uncomfortably close border
that precludes them from having to come over on a ship or plane
where you can set up border police to check their papers first,
and quietly tell them they aren’t welcome in legalese while
putting them on the next ship or plane out? They’re like rats,
coming in by the millions, nights must be hard for you worrying
about all them jaywalking tickets not being paid. Voila, you
won your own argument that you’re not a racist and my cool
groundbreaking supergenius article is rubbish, if black is white
and white black, that is, do I look like an Indian hoping to get
a box of trinkets for my birthright?
Sorry, but I don’t have time to argue with you anymore
Nothing personal. To push it over I
unless you can find a real substantive problem with my
proposal, or add to it with some practical suggestions
about getting it launched into public consciousness, I
gotta work to get more people to read it so they can get
worked up too
gotta convince all Amerians, left, right, and center of
bird, it’s not about politics, it’s about our nation’s destiny.
I know having to think hurts, but your brain grows that
way, good luck trying to catch up with moi. Here’s another
little prediction: your grandchildren will be living south
of the defunct border, calling you a dinosaur dumbass,
and me a genius

Author of “The Megamerge Dissolution Solution to the U.S.-Mexico Border Problem” (c)
Dear Ms. Winslow,
I’m not sure what you’re smoking, but you should flush it, and try to clear your head.
>> ..So you finally read it, after all those previous posts where you obviously didn’t..
“ALL” those previous posts? Golly…. all ONE of them?!?
You are obviously confused, possibly suffering from a fragile ego as well.
>> ..If you really think my name is fake..
Get real. Are you really that dense??
>> ..gringos.. ..gringos.. ..gringos..
You seem to have some fixation. What’s the deal?
>> ..You point to a number of bad Mexicans, and try to characterize them all from that small sample..
Are you intoxicated? Stoned?? Otherwise brain-dead???
I qualified my remarks with the subsequent text:
Now, quite obviously not all of “them” do those things. But my exaggeration is no more of a stretch than your fantasy about “The border IS the problem.”
I conclude, Ms Genius, that your IQ is double your age in years, at best.
>> ..most Mexicans are good people..
Have you taken the time to evaluate over 50 million of them? If not, how can you possibly know that “most” of them are good people.
I’m being picky, of course. In fact, I believe most of them are good people as well. That does not cause any urge to meld our nations into one, however.
>> ..They’re an okay people..
SO? I’m sure that is true of most peoples of the planet. It still does not make me feel like we should suddenly partner with them. And yes, though you did not use the word “partner”, that’s exactly what it would have to be. The existing cultural differences are vast, and they are not likely to change; nor are we.
>> ..there’s a dire lack of Mexican elite scientists..
You can omit the word “elite.” There is a distinct lack of Mexicans in most fields of professional capacity. I have no idea why, but I know it to be true. In the technology sectors, they are virtually nil. In a landscape dominated by Asians and Caucasians, there is a strong contingent of people from various African nations, and many Arab nations as well. Hispanics are almost never encountered. Why is that?
With the abundance of natural resources that exist in Mexico, it is not logical that their society has been left behind by the vast majority of the planet. Perhaps it is the result of some combination of the heat, the thin air, and the abundance of Blue agave, Peyote and Salvia divinorum.
>> ..Racism is the only real thing standing in the way of the Megamerge Dissolution Solution..
What racism? In this nation, racism is small compared to many places. Peoples of the world are readily accepted and welcomed here. Our campuses are more cosmopolitan than anywhere else, as are our professional fields. To fall back and blame racism is absurd!
>> ..that red-white-green flag must really get to you..
Any flag, regardless of color or origin, that is raised above our own on American soil, while at the same time ours is often burned, makes me angry. It makes me want to enter into armed conflict, because in essence they are declaring war upon our homeland. The sovereignty of this nation should not be taken lightly, and anybody who believes they can indiscriminately challenge us with no consequences is in for a bitter disappointment. MEXICANS do that; more every year. I for one shall never tolerate such behavior.
>> ..it represents centuries of successful conquests..
Ha! More like, it represents centuries of brutality and lack of respect for human rights. It represents the vile corruption that blossomed under it. Those “conquests” you refer to were never for the greater good of anybody other than the perpetrators of said brutal violence.
>> ..My idea is pure, a result of tons of thinking..
It is possible Adolf said similar words about the Third Reich.
>> ..I’m sure you mean a white one, preferably blonde too..
You are as judgmental as you are arrogant. I’m black, moron.
>> ..I want to dissolve their country, along with its flag..
Gee…. such a lofty goal.
>> ..languishing in 3rd world poverty..
That’s is not our fault, nor is it our responsibility to throw infinite resources at them in an effort to change their conditions. We have thrown hundreds of billions of dollars at them already, all for naught.
After what they did back in ’38, we should have come down on them like a ton of bricks long, long ago….
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expropiaci%C3%B3n_petrolera
>> ..despite that “illegal” baloney, talk about a victimless crime..
Victimless????? Sorry Ms. Win-SLOW, but you’re either full of crap, or the most naive person on the planet. On second thought, scratch that…. your AGENDA is showing through.
And what part of ILLEGAL don’t you understand??
>> ..What is your answer to my prediction..
The answer IS…. You’re full of crap. That’s my final answer.
>> ..With the MDD it never has to reach that point..
You really ARE full of crap! And make up your mind…. is it “MDD” or “MDS”?
So, suppose we do the merge. Then our new southern border will only have moved geographically. What makes you think it will be any different? Oh, wait…. you didn’t THINK. You and your ilk will be proposing a new MDS for every border issue from now till eternity.
>> ..A government has a limit to its power, and its treatment of Mexican immigrants is over the limit..
How so? Why should the Mexicans be granted special privilege over the peoples of other nations? You entire thesis is so far out in left field!!
Have you ever noticed that LEGAL Mexicans are treated fairly? Your use of the term “Mexican immigrant” is a LIE, and you know it is a lie. To be an immigrant, one must follow defined immigration procedures. The people we are talking about are not Mexican immigrants, they are ILLEGAL ALIENS, WHO BROKE OUR LAWS TO GET HERE. The legal immigrants are fine — no problem. But YOUR VIEW is twisted and distorted, as you appear to believe that simply because you don’t agree with a law, that it is acceptable to break it. Where exactly do you draw the line, and what gives you the right to decide which laws are “good” and which are not?
You are arrogant and egocentric.
>> ..the runt country that’s left was totally unable to prosper..
You lose credibility with every drivel you spew. How dare you call Mexico a “runt” nation? Your arrogance is showing again! So is your ignorance. Why, oh why, could they not prosper? Mexico as it exists has a fabulous wealth of natural resources. Their standard of living should be among the best in the world.
>> ..which would be true even if it were all gringos..
You do make me laugh!! Sorry, Ms Winslow…. your credibility score has dropped to zero.
>> ..be fruitful and multiply. Sorry, that’s their right..
I don’t have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is that my TAX DOLLARS are helping pay for each of those children. If they would be self sufficient, there would be no problem. But they are not.
If they are allowed to have an unlimited number of children who are to be supported by tax dollars, then I should be allowed to bill the IRS to pay my mortgage; to buy me a new computer whenever I want one; to pay for my food and gasoline and clothing as well. It’s not really so different.
They are cheating the system, and they get away with it because of people like you.
>> ..after millions of gringos move south..
Would never happen.
>> ..the great migration to the Am. West..
Your comparison is flawed. Not even close.
>> ..call my great article..
Oh, please. You’re so full of yourself it’s almost unbelievable!
>> ..Americans like you openly accept them, but after they get here they are illegal aliens..
That’s a load of crap, and you know it. Nobody I know has any issues with LEGAL immigrants for any reason pertaining to their immigration status or to their race. What they have a problem with is ILLEGAL ALIENS. Are you really so dense that you don’t get it???
>> ..to even partner with them is blatantly anti-American..
YES! Maybe you are beginning to see the light!!! It is anti-American because they are unwilling partners. It is anti-American because they bring no tangible value to the table, hence the partnership would be entirely one-sided, hence detrimental to America. Get it?!?
>> ..They’re like rats, coming in by the millions..
That’s stretching it a little. But only a little.
Your arguments are so juvenile. You try to pin it all on racism — though you know it is not so. Which means, you are a liar.
If we had a flood of white Canadians illegally entering America and defrauding our system to the degree that Mexican illegal aliens do, the opposition to them would be at least as strong as it is to the illegal Mexicans. The fact that they are from Mexico has NOTHING to do with it (moron). The fact that their skin is a different color has NOTHING to do with it (MORON!). The problem is their criminal actions (of many), and the complete lack of their community speaking out against said criminals.
Your agenda is showing!
>> ..my cool groundbreaking supergenius article is rubbish..
Finally! ….we are in agreement about something.
>> ..me a genius..
Sorry to burst your bubble, but I’ve known seashells with more intellectual capacity than you. To call you stupid would be an insult to stupid people.
The border is NOT the problem.
Your article IS rubbish. It is nothing more than self-serving drivel, which I’m sure you read and re-read time and time again to gratify your ever-expanding ego.
Have a good evening Ms Win Slow.
I was hoping to find that there would be more Tea Parties later this year. July was a thought. I didn’t attend the past Tea Parties but I would drag my old butt out for the next one near me, Concord or Manchester. The only way our Government is going to listen is to keep up the pressure and keep doing Tea Parties.
Mr. Pink Eyes,
Good website. I was looking for some facts on Obama’s Illinois votes concerning abortion, and your site was listed. I checked it out and I was pleasantly surprised. You tell it like it is which I appreciate. I checked out a number of old writings of yours, and I found the one about the city of San Diego threatening the couple for having Bible study in their home. I live in San Diego County, so I know about the case. You were right on when you said, “San Diego can go fuck itself”.. You might also want to know that like the governor of your state, the city of San Diego’s Mayor also campaigned against gay marriage, or some other gay issue, but then when he got in office and actually had to vote on the thing, he flipflopped. Frankly, Gay activism is a problem that needs a tougher response. For the sake of analogy, can you imagine if a bunch of guys followed your wife into a public restroom (or a daughter if you had one)? You would probably wonder what the hell they were doing and would be right behind them ready for a little chat or something. Well, what business do gays have using the same restrooms as heterosexuals? Should people with a same-sex orientation be allowed to intrude on heterosexuals who are simply taking care of their personal bodily functions? Homosexuals are what they are, unnatural, abnormal, and, in my view, without any legitimate right even to use public restroom facilities. It is not my doing. People who have a sexual attraction to each other are kept separated for somethings like using a restroom or in places for changing cloths like at gyms etc. It is a good separation. What would the lockeroom be like with girls and boys together? “Sport” would take on a whole new meaning. I would be willing to bet that Obama will eventually be as strongly in favor of the homosexual agenda as he is for abortion. He is very shallow, to say the least, and homos are a constituent that democrats cannot afford to lose.
Take care. Keep up the good work.

Dear Mr. Pinkeyes,
If you wish, please advertise the NH Tea Party Coalition.
If you want you can grab the icon from our website, the little square yellow one with the snake down on the right.
It doesn’t take up too much space.
Thanks.
Wow, I’ve got to say that I love this blog. I’m really identifying with your views. I’m a moderate to right-of-center conservative who has never been much more than an armchair grumbler about politics. I’m looking to get more involved and restore conservatism to its former glory.
Thanks DJ! This was my way of becoming a little more involved. I got so sick and tired of hearing what I believed in attacked for so long that I started this blog as a means to fight back. It at least allows me to vent.
Hey, I’m with ya!

Dear Democratic Party of America.
You will notice that I said Democratic Party of America, NOT Mexico, Not Iraq, Not Israel, Not Europe but of America.
The Democratic Politicians seems to forget that we Americans Vote you in to office, in to Power and we do this because you promise us Americans that you will protect us and look after us. We pay you Wages, you Medical Insurance and your very lucrative Retirement Fund. So why do you Democrats always look after others, rather than us Americans?
For example why do you have us Americans paying Billions of Dollars to support Illegal Immigrants?
As a Christian Country we do not want Democratic President Obama killing approximately 300,000 babies a year through abortion!
Why do you have us Americans paying Foreign Aid?
Why does Hillary Clinton want to spend $125 Billion Dollars to rebuild Iraq?
Why must we have special legislation so you Democrats DO NOT support Illegal Immigrants?
Why did so many Democrats vote AGAINST English being the official language of America?
Why did The Democrats begin to TAX Social Security, that was NEVER to be taxed?
How did Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman and Vietnam Veteran, John Murtha feel about Obama wanting to charge our Veterans for military related injuries? Obama we have $400 Billion Dollars to give welfare to illegal immigrants but not help our Heroes?
How come so many Democrats DO NOT PAY their taxes?
Illegal Immigrants are ILLEGAL AND BREAKING OUR LAWS AND DESERVE NOTHING! Is it for the Latino vote, so you get elected and can stay in power and fulfill you own agendas rather than what is BEST for The American People?
For years you Democrats have had us Americans pay extra taxes so you can give welfare to minorities and get the Black vote, no one cared back then, but now we care. You have BETRAYED us working Americans and it must stop NOW!
The Blacks now have a Black President and Attorney General plus many other powerful politicians, therefore, Affirmative Action must stop.
Regarding the Obama and Democratic Health Care Plan, is Obama, The Senate and The Congress going to have the same Health Care Insurance as the rest of us Americans?
As an American Citizen I feel that I must inform you that American is in a very BAD frame of mind because THE CHANGE that we are getting is NOT THE CHANGE we were promised. I am telling you Democrats to stop taxing us to death so you can give our hard earned money away. If Obama, Biden, Pelosi and Reid want to be Santa Claus, use you own money, not ours.
Look what Madams Boxer and Feinstein, both Democrats have done to the State of California, they have allowed the illegal immigrants to ruin it.
As a last plea, kindly stop betraying us Americans and start keeping your political promises to better America and look after our well being!
Sincerely,
Tony Caputo
The Patriot from Florida
What’s it going to take for Americans to wake up and really see what’s going on right under our noses? Are people that blind?
Mr “Patriot from Florida”,
Maybe you should consider proof-reading what you write – what a mess it is. It detracts from what you are trying to say.
Aside from your spelling and grammatical errors, you appear to believe that politicians will “do the right thing.”
Trust me on this: they will NOT.
Your comments are all directed toward democrats; but the truth is that our entire political system is corrupt.
You wrote “For example why do you have us Americans paying Billions of Dollars to support Illegal Immigrants?”
Illegal immigrants have strong support, with deep pockets. Some of their supporters are simply bleeding-heart types; others are trying to divide us – a good way to bring America down. Regardless of their agenda, those who donate money (vast sums of money) to politicians on behalf of illegal aliens are buying their way into political power. If we citizens against illegal aliens would give more money, we would win the battle. It really is as simple as that. In our current state of corrupt politics, money talks, and apathy walks, getting burned in the process.
You wrote “As a Christian Country we do not want Democratic President Obama killing approximately 300,000 babies a year through abortion!”
Don’t you know that the democratic party, which no longer is “democrats” but rather is mostly liberal left-wing extremists, has been waging a war on Christianity for many years? They are chipping away, little by little. They have virtually won all the inner cities, where the bulk of the population lives, and are working on many aspects of eradicating Christianity on a national level. They don’t want any mention of God in schools. They don’t want any public Christmas displays. No more “Ten Commandments” in public buildings. In fact, they don’t want religion – period. They want a world of atheists.
Regardless of those things, you are falling into a trap that the enemies of America WANT all of us to fall in to. They want to divide us with bitter hate. They want extreme left, and extreme right, and no middle ground. Because middle ground is how America became the greatest and most powerful nation ever.
You can not justly blame all things on the democrats, same as left-wing extremists can not justly blame all things on republicans. Both sides try to do that; and try and try. It is unrealistic. The problems we face are because of corruption, more than any other single thing. It is good to have ideas from various political views. Both major parties were founded and carried forth on many good basic ideas. Somehow, we have lost that. When was the last time a politician tried to campaign based on merit instead of mud-slinging? They blame “the other guy” for everything. In all fairness to Obama, he ran a less dirty campaign than most politicians ever do these days. Unfortunately, he does not control those around him, and the extremists (on both sides) continued to try to paint their opponents as the devil.
Americans need to end the corruption, and to end the hate, and to end the fear of “the other side”, and we need to focus on what is good for AMERICA and for the people of America. If we do not, then our enemies shall be victorious.
Steve, you make some good points. We need to re-invent American politics and stop the divisive and petty methods that are resorted to now.
I do understand Tony’s frustration. He could have thought it out a bit more. It so hard these days to know who’s actually got our best interests in mind as average Americans. There are so many special interest groups and other groups in the shadows that are working to their own agenda’s.
America needs a leader who can unite us. I don’t see that in Obama. I didn’t see that in Bush. Reaching across the aisle to work together needs to be more than just a photo op and a smile.
I disagree; we as Americans do not need a leader to unite us. We simply need a leader that we put in place that will follow us and not attack our constitution at will.
Americans need to take back their country and begin remembering who they are.
Americans need to grow up and take their politicians to task every time they attack free enterprise, liberty and even religious beliefs. We have temporarily forgotten who we are because of our simple trust that politicians wouldn’t betray our forefathers and the constitution just to get themselves rich and yet…that is what they do.
I’m not looking for salvation from a leader….I am looking for him to get out of our way and keep from imposing Marxist/socialist chains upon our very heritage specifically to strengthen political allegiances against American historic doctrine and beliefs.
We as a nation are being duped by following an image and not rusting our own eyes and ears. Treachury is disguised as help by propogandists looking to entrench themselves securely as our overlords; we have asked for it, by asking for them to save us.

Can you please delete the comments responding to mine above? A disgruntled poster from my forum is trying to publicize personal details about me here.
I have deleted them.
Steve,
Thank you for your hard work. I would identify myself in the same tone, except change the state to Texas.
Maybe this will help. I have created a new website that allows users to create FREE petitions and / or surveys. Any new user will be given free access to all the sites functions. (ignore the tokens function we will remove).
Anyone wishing to create a petition, sign a petition, etc can do so. Just go there and login: it is http://www.gababit.com.
Thanks for your time and efforts.
Nice blog you have here. Keep up the fight. Thought you might be intersted in this article about PETA:
http://thehipposass.blogspot.com/2009/08/shining-light-on-evil-fishing.html
Excuse the spelling mistakes…not enough coffee this morning!
No problem. You should see some of my posts before I use spellcheck!
Thank you.
Oh that was a hoot! Those PETA folks would just crack me up if they weren’t so dangerous. Wackos like that are laying the ground work for destroying so many of our freedoms.
Thank you so much for posting the Constitution!
I am sure it was alot of work and it is very much appreciated.
Wish I would have been passionate about it in my younger days but I sure am applying it now!
Now, how do we use it to get rid of criminals running our country?!
Thank you for coming by. I also feel bad that I wasn’t passionate about the consititution in my younger days. Perhaps it isn’t until we grow older that we are able to put things into the proper perspective.
I wish I had a better answer to your question but I guess we have to wait until the 2010 election. Until then I will keep trying to expose these people for who they really are.
This is in regard to the 2 million people who protested Presiden Obama’s speech on health care:
It would be nice if one of those 2 million could come up with a better plan to fix our health care problems! It also costs us a lot of money when so many people can’t get insurance and clog our ERs, and minor issues become serious illnesses, as when a child can’t get a penicillin shot for a strept throat he can get serious heart and kidney disease.
Republicans have been trying to submit proposals to the healthcare debate but they have all been shot down without debate. There are better ideas out there, tort reform and allowing competition between states but this administration wants no part of it because it will not lead to government control.
Under government healthcare my 77 year old mother would have likely been denied treatment for an aggressive cancer she had recently. Because she had a good insurance policy she was able to get complete treatment and her lymphoma was cured. No pain pills to run out the clock. She is returning to her active life.
Since when has a child been denied a peniciillan shot? Under government healthcare the wait times for treatment (if available) are greatly increased. Healthcare must be rationed. The incoming president of Canadian healthcare describes their own government system as “sick” and “imploding”. The Canadians are looking at privitization and competition to improve their system.
There are many more than 2 million who object to government healthcare. The tea party rally was more about government corruption, irresponsible spending of our tax dollars into bankruptcy and disregard of the constitution. Over 80% of Americans are happy with their current insurance though most agree the current system needs tweaking and streamlining.
There are alternatives to government healthcare but they are muted by the media. Look them up.
Importing cheaper drugs from Canada is no longer an option after Obama cut a deal with big pharma in exchange for $150,000,000 in advertising for Obamacare. It seems true that suggestions that don’t ultimately promote government control are rejected.
Thank you, Brother, for being out there and doing your duty as an American to help fight the Leftists.
Hey man I like your site and was looking to link with my new blogs. If you want to check them out and get back to me at my email address I’d appreciate it. Thank You.
Wow! Where have the original, libertarian-leaning Democrats from Jefferson to Cleveland gone? All that seems to be left are Marxists who want to bring America back into the Old World fold, where poverty and tyranny are the custom. Read THE CHANGING FACE OF DEMOCRATS from Amazon.com or http://www.claysamerica.com and find out.
Dear Mr. Pink Eyes:
You have the Constitution on your site, now make room for the Declaration of Independence. There would be no Constitution without “The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America”. It is because of that declaration that we celebrate the 4th of July each year. But, as expressed by the Declaration, and by many today, the “political bands” have come apart. Your site, and many others, reflect that sentiment. Stroking aside, anyone who reads your material surely can see that you have a “decent respect to the opinions of mankind,” and, there is an “equal station” that you ask your fellow bloggers to regard if they wish to link up with you. The individual independence that we Americans feel is rightfully ours (especially from an overbearing government) is not from the Constitution, it’s from the Declaration of Independence. The signers of the Declaration described that independent power as being based on the “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” ten years before the Constitution was written! The Constitution followed-up on the Declaration’s submission to the still higher law and order. Thank God.
G.F.
Putting aside the jab that I think you were taking at me with your line about the political bands and my blog, I will first thank you for the compliment about my decent respect and equal station. Secondly, I agree with you about the Declaration, at one time I did have it on my blog but when I changed to the current theme my pages did not display as I would have liked so I deleted it in the interest of asthetics. I found out that the problem was that I was using an outdated version of IE and I intend to put the Declaration, and a couple of other founding documents,on my blog but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Hopefully your reminder will prompt me to get the Declaration back onto my site in the very near future.
Actually, as described in http://www.claysamerica.com, you should go all the way back to our real Founders, the Pilgrims, and the constitution they brought with them and lived by, the Geneva Bible and then trace 150 years of life in America to a time when Jefferson described America in the Declaration of Independence and those ideas reflected in the 1787 Northwest Ordnance and the Bill of Rights. For the 19th century, Jefferson and his Democrat Party, libertarians all, tried to keep America on its founding mission, which was disrupted by Hamilton, then Clay, Lincoln to Teddy Roosevelt, as well as the 20th century Democrats who preferred Rousseau and Marx to Jefferson, as they do today, all cited in THE CHANGING FACE OF DEMOCRATS on Amazon.
Dear Mr. Pink Eyes,
I wasn’t taking a jab with the “political bands” comment. It was a comment on the general political condition in our country today and which words are from the Declaration, “When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…”. I tend to think the US has some serious divisions politically. The conservative blogs and talk shows reflect that. I do not think the ultimate dissolution of the country is on the radar screen yet, but we have some irreconcilable differences on certain moral issues particularly, i.e. abortion, homosexuality, and they are not going away. The current economic situation and the impending debt for future generations also makes for a bleak outlook on the politics of our nation. But that’s for another Day! Anyway, I am glad to hear that the Declaration of Independence is only caught up in the day to day business of managing a website. It sounds like I can look forward to seeing it in the future. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the forum.
My apologies for the misunderstanding. Thank you for clearing it up, and thank you for the compliment.
Hello,
I enjoy your site and thought you might like to check out my newest truth serum interview.

Mr. Pink Eyes,
Can you give Zoe Brain (Transgendered Profiling article) my e-mail address? You have my permission if she asks for it.
I will email it to Zoe shortly.
I have sent your email adress to Zoe.
I just saw that you got the Declaration of Independence up. Very good. Well done.
I finally got around to doing a little clean up work on the blog. I have been meaning to get that back up for a while. I also put up Federalist #10, you may be interested in that.
Thank you for posting the Declaration of Independence.
I have tweeted this web site on twitter for the Patriots.
Your hard work is appreciated.
You are welcome. However, you being a two blue star mother I want to thank you and your family for their service.
Noted and appreciated however, most of us have at one time or another had a family member in some war since we became a nation.
We are a nation in distress. I believe we will all be in for the fight of our very lives, freedom, soon.
Have a good week.
Thanks for the e-mail to Zoe.
I read the Federalist Papers several years ago. I’ll be checking out #10 again, soon.
No problem. I read the Federalist papers a while ago also, I want to re-read them again.
The Coming Civil War
America is much divided on whether individual or community interests are most important. One side says people’s interests are harmonious with their neighbors in community. It’s a simple premise and the base of the American political system, as expressed by the 19th century Democrats (see THE CHANGING FACE OF DEMOCRATS on Amazon books and http://www.claysamerica.com). Men labor, exchange, learn, band together, act, and react upon one another, and in this way, there can result from their free and intelligent activity, order, harmony, progress, prosperity and all things that are good and better. Just observing the free market and the prosperity of America proves this premise.
Communities are made up of men and women, and each in America is a free agent. As free agents, they can choose. Since they can choose, they can be mistaken. Since they can be mistaken, they can suffer. Many make mistakes and suffer; as they start from ignorance, and in their ignorance they see before them an infinite number of unknown roads, all of which, except one, lead to mistakes. Mistakes breed suffering. Suffering falls upon the person who was mistaken and requires personal responsibility. Their actions, coupled with the intelligence that has been given them to see the connection between cause and effect, will bring them back, by their suffering, to a path of truth.
Many, on the other side, believe men’s interests, left to their own devices, will never combine harmoniously. They believe those interests, allowed to develop freely, lead mankind to injustice, inequality and poverty, simply because of the ugly and sinful nature of men. Therefore, they must oppose that simple premise. They must destroy American society as it is now because it grew from the sinful nature of man. They want to try another way. They believe the interests of community are more important than are the interests of the individual, the long established world governing principle of the few elite ruling the many. We just elected a President and political party that claim this position.
Individual freedom advocates do not deny mistakes exist; but recognize their purpose in community. If wrong-thinking is to fulfill its purpose, community must not encroach artificially upon individual responsibility. This is the tendency of most of our governing institutions, like parents and those offering remedies for the mistakes that afflict us. Under the philanthropic pretext of giving us a helping hand, the individual’s sense of responsibility fades. The freedom of the individual to make mistakes is not respected.
Trying to force all Americans into a system of slavery, where government is the master, may cause a new civil war to erupt. Our tradition, based upon the first premise, has proven better than any system ever devised on this planet. If we look at the rest of the world, where eighty percent are starving and struggling to stay alive, America looks bright and wholesome. Many Americans may prefer to fight than capitulate to Obama and the modern Democrats serving the collective interests.
I have enjoyed looking through your writing—love the reference to Fed. 10. I am a former public high school social studies teacher and tried time and again to challenge students’ notions that our gov’t is and should be a “democracy”. Sadly, I won’t be headed back to teaching–at least in part because of forced unionism and colleagues who did not do their jobs yet were paid better than I was because they had more time served so to speak.
Anyway, many of your thoughts resonate with me. Keep up the commentary! Thank you!
Thank you Kara for the kind words, I appreciate them. We could use more people like you teaching our children, it is sad that they drive people like you away.
Just wondering if you wouldn’t mind deleting my comment or removing my last name. It just dawned on me that I should have used a nickname.
Thanks,
Kara (former teacher)
Its done.
Hello Mr. Pink Eyes.
I commend your pro-life, anti-abortion stance. Here is my stance on the issue.
Abortion is unconstitutional for the following reason. First, since the federal Constitution is silent about abortion, the 10th A. automatically makes abortion a state power issue. So although corrupt justices found abortion rights in the 9th A. and used the 14th A. to apply abortion rights to the states, the reason that the Court got abortion wrong is the following.
Given that the Article V majority can amend the Constitution at its pleasure, there is no need for the USSC to arbitrarily find any right in the Constitution. In other words, the states are the only entities that can “find” rights in the Constitution via enumeration by constitutional amendment. This is evidenced by the ratification of the BoR by the states.
In fact, John Bingham, the main author of Sec. 1 of the 14th A., had clarified before the HoR that the 14th A. applies only enumerated privileges and immunities to the states. See for yourself.
“Mr. Speaker, this House may safely follow the example of the makers of the Constitution and the builders of the Republic, by passing laws for enforcing all the privileges and immunities of the United States as guaranteed by the amendment Constitution and expressly enumerated in the Constitution.” –John Bingham, Congressional Globe (1871) http://tinyurl.com/y3ne4n
So the states would have had to amend the Constitution to protect abortion rights prior to the Court’s deciding of Roe v. Wade, in my opinion, in order for the Court to be able to apply such a right to the states via the 14th Amendment.
Also, note that while the the USSC wrongly ignored state sovereignty when it decided Roe v. Wade, the Court refused to examine the Terri Schiavo case, citing the Founder’s division of federal and state government powers. So the mixed-up Court is unthinkingly practicing double-standards where state sovereignty is concerned, IMO.
But the main reason, in my opinion, that the USSC has gotten away with legalizing abortion is this. US citizens have not been teaching the Constitution and its history to their children for many generations. So as a consequence of widespread ignorance of the Constitution and its history, citizens are impotent to stop corrupt justices from walking all over their freedoms, including the right to life.
I agree with everything that you said. While I think that abortion is wrong, I also think that this should be a states rights issue. THE Supreme Court had no business hearing Roe vv Wade, that is my biggest bone of contention.
Great point about our children not being taught the constitution, there is an ignorance of the constitution in the younger people today because they have not been taught it and those people are now of the voting age.
I just found you blog site through a friend on facebook. I have just added it to my list of other blog sites I visit regularly. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Thank you!
I’m still wondering if anyone knows where Obama got all that money for his presidential campaign run…! Shall we never know who’s really managing the puppets?
By the way, I stumbled on you accidentally too while reading about guns/ammunitions and such and am so happy to read of someone with similar political views to my own. I’m a real minority in Southern California.
Thank you!
Thank you.
Obama raised an extraordinary amount of money and we will never know where it came from. One thing is for certain, there is no way the American people donated that much money themselves.
Regarding foreign donations (there were plenty)

Christmas Revolution
Two thousand years ago, the world faced the Christmas Revolution at the birth of Jesus. It had to be a revolution because Old World governments began a serious and brutal counter revolution against the revolutionary teachings of Christ. Christians were taught they each had interests and aspirations that were special and unique. They were beyond the rule of an elite few. This revolution was dangerous to established order and was a potential new world order in itself. It took root 1620 years after it began in the Middle East with a small band of Pilgrims settling in Massachusetts. It spread across North America. It proved itself successful. The individual interests and freedom to pursue them proved harmonious and prosperous within communities established by a free people who ruled themselves. It is still a major world revolution, however, and is in danger of being defeated within America, by an elite few who believe community interests are more important than are individual interests. The Christmas Revolution is the object of ridicule and legal blockades in many areas of America today, because it still preaches that individual freedom is the best answer to the problems facing the world, not the dictatorships of elite still infecting the rest of the world and the modern American Democrat Party.

We thought this would give good material to discuss and find out the truth of all times it has been broadcast on our US airwaves. Sadly, RACISM is alive and well on our shores of America, en Espanol. We could not believe our eyes/ears watching this on Spanish TV, so got it taped and translate/subtitled for Mainstream USA to notice what slides by on our own foreign-language media. WARNING: The jokes are offensive to most all races, except perhaps whatever you call Mexicans. Immigrants to this country get this catered to them, which is very shameful.

Obama’s White House Behind “Perpetuity” Clauses in Nazi Health Bill
December 29, 2009 (LPAC)—President Obama and his top aides were directly involved in drafting the clauses in the Senate health bill which attempt to prohibit any future Congress from ever altering the Nazi “T-4″ cost-cutting policies emitting from the Independent Medicare Advisory Board.
As EIR’s investigations have revealed, the secret clauses were inserted into the Senate bill during secret negotiations that took place behind closed doors in Harry Reid’s office between October 14 (the day after the Senate Finance Committee approved its version of the health bill), and October 26, when it was announced that negotiations had concluded. The Reid bill was filed in the Senate on November 19, at the point where Reid was certain he was close to having 60 voters to overcome a Republican filibuster.
On October 13, the Senate Democratic website announced that “senior White House officials” would be joining Senators Dodd, Baucus, and Reid in an effort to merge the bills coming out of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee headed by Chris Dodd, and the Senate Finance Committee headed by Max Baucus. The next day, it was reported that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, OMB Director Peter Orszag, Health “czar” Nancy-Ann DeParle, and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius were seated at the conference table in Reid’s office along with the three Senators.
On Sunday, Oct. 18, the Washington Post ran a story entitled “Small Group Now Leads Closed Negotiations on Health-Care Bill,” noting that despite Obama’s campaign promises to conduct negotiations on health-care reform legislation in an open, transparent manner—even televised on C-SPAN—three Senators and top White House officials were meeting behind closed doors to hammer out the final Senate bill. The Post noted that the White House team was being led by Rahm Emanuel, and it said that the tie-breaking votes would be cast by Reid and by Emanuel, the latter acting on Obama’s behalf.
According to various accounts, this group met continuously up until Oct. 26. The Reid bill was first made public on Nov. 19, with many Senators, Democrats included, complaining that they were in the dark over the revised bill.
While the news media and commentators fixated on the so-called “public option,” buried in the Reid bill was one of the most sinister provisions ever written into Congressional legislation: clauses asserting that the provisions concerning IMAB and its Nazi policies could never be changed by a future Senate or House of Representatives.
Exemplary is a clause, part of Section 3403 creating the IMAB, that reads: “It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment, or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection.” (Subsection (d)(3)(C)). Immediately preceding this, are two clauses stating that “It shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, or amendment” that would repeal or change the IMAB legislation or an IMAB recommendation unless it meets the genocidal, cost-cutting criteria specified earlier in the bill. And any waiver of this requires a three-fifths vote of the full Senate. Who stuck this in?
As EIR’s investigation has shown, these “perpetuity” clauses were not in the IMAB section as voted out of the Senate Finance Committee, although most of the language in the IMAB section in Reid’s bill was taken, often word-for-word, from the Baucus bill. The fingerprints of Obama, Emanual and Orszag are all over this unconstitutional, fascist provision. From the outset, Obama was promoting an expanded version of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), what Obama called “MedPAC on steroids,” as a means of slashing medical costs, or “bending the cost curve” as he repeatedly put it. Obama suggested this be modeled on the BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) Commission, whose recommendations cannot be altered, only voted up or down by a joint resolution of Congress.
In June, Orszag himself drafted legislation to create an Independent Medicare Advisory Commission (IMAC). On July 17, he sent his draft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, along with a cover letter stating that either his version, or the approach being put forward by Sen. Rockefeller to expand MedPAC and make it an independent agency empowered to “improve efficiency and performance throughout the Medicare system,” would be acceptable. A senior Congressional source later told EIR that Emanuel and Orszag were hammering top House leaders and insisting that the IMAC issue was the only non-negotiable issue in the entire health bill, as far as the White House was concerned.
Going into the Reid secret negotiations, the Senate HELP bill had no IMAC/IMAB provision, (nor did the House bill), and the Baucus bill had an IMAB section which was said to have closely followed the White House’s demands. But obviously it was still not enough for Emanuel, Orszag & Co. What emerged from the secret conclave in Reid’s office, is a moral and constitutional affront to our Republic and the American people.
Briefed on the EIR investigation-to-date, Lyndon LaRouche observed that the “in perpetuity” language conformed to “what I’ve observed in Rahm Emanuel’s method of speaking. Only an impassioned illiterate would insert such an obvious British formula. It read more like a text that was dictated, than something composed. The illiteracy of the text suggested that Rahm Emanuel played a decisive role. I came to that conclusion, based on profile, even before the evidence was assembled.” LaRouche denounced the Senate formula as “worse than Hitler. Hitler only sought a dictatorship for life.”

Tell me about The Family on C Street in Washington, DC. What do they represent and how do they avoid taxes and using tax payers money for their objectives in foreign countries? Why does FOX news shows avoid discussion of this group? Tell me why.
Hey Steve,
Love your site. I’m a fellow patriot up here in Boston and I’m proud to say that I was part of the “2nd shot heard around the world”. My brothers and I made calls, sent emails, gathered up all the people we knew and spread the word across the state that a vote for Scott Brown was a vote for liberty and we WON!!! In the days/weeks leading up to it, it felt like an impending battle……… not too different from Lexington and Concord.
Anyway, I’m going to share your blog with my new Political action group or as I like to call them…….the new colonial rebels.
God Bless America

Thanks for the compliment and more importantly, thank you for the work you and your family did to elect Scott Brown! Being in New Hampshire and listening to Boston talk radio I agree with you about the feeling this race had. It did feel like a battle, and it sure was exciting! Hopefully more victories will follow! Colonial rebels, I like that.
You are an illiterate buffoon, who knows nothing about punctuation, and you obviously pine for an actor mouthing the lies of the Cult of Intelligence: A Menshavik/Facsist Reagan-style of bombast, born of the days when Howard Hughes reigned. You forget, there are 62 million People to chip at, with your incoherent blather. So quit while you can, before your dim future as a writer(?) fades to black…
Thanks for stopping by! I hope that you continue to stop by and offer your commentary. I am not illiterate, but I do admit that I am not the greatest when it comes to punctuation. As I am not striving to be a writer and I do not intend to have a future as a writer, punctuation is secondary to the message.
Do you care to comment on the issues or are you just more comfortable throwing insults around?
Have you seen this yet?

Comments?
I did. I don’t have anything good to say about the man, so I will just ask a question. What are the chances that a Republican can pick up his seat?
That’s a hard call. The district is historically overwhelmingly Democrat but I can’t believe that there are many Obama fans there right now. I guess now is the best chance we are likely to get.
I agree, this is the best chance we will ever get. This is a heavily Democrat area and if a Republican ever were to win this seat it would be a real sign of how far Obama has fallen in such a short amount of time.
I object to your using the COEXIST symbols for your entrapment into your political site. Your political site has a place for these people, but it hardly is representative of peace and coexistence and love;the true base of all religion and the essence of the COEXIST movement. Really!!
Hello,
From reading your blog, I think you might be alarmed by yet another ethics violation perpetrated by House Ways and Means Chairman Charlie Rangel. First it was real estate and other hidden investments, now its trips. Check out this video:

Subject: VERY QUIETLY OBAMA’S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE SUPREME COURT
AP- WASHINGTON D.C. – In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information”
has Released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry
Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship.
This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama’s legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, “Obama Eligibility Questioned,” leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama’s first official visit to the U.K. In a related matter, under growing pressure from several groups, Justice Antonin Scalia announced that the Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear arguments concerning Obama’s legal eligibility to serve as President in a case brought by Leo Donofrio of New Jersey . This lawsuit claims Obama’s dual citizenship disqualified him from serving as president. Donofrio’s case is just one of 18 suits brought by citizens demanding proof of Obama’s citizenship or qualification to serve as president.
Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation has released the results of their investigation of Obama’s campaign spending. This study estimates that Obama has spent upwards of $950,000 in campaign funds in the past year with eleven law firms in 12 states for legal resources to block disclosure of any of his personal records. Mr. Kreep indicated that the investigation is still ongoing but that the final report will be provided to the U.S. attorney general, Eric Holder. Mr. Holder has refused to comment on the matter.
LET OTHER FOLKS KNOW THIS NEWS, THE MEDIA WON’T !
Subject: RE: Issue of Passport?
While I’ve little interest in getting in the middle of the Obama birth issue, Paul Hollrah over at FSM did so yesterday and believes the issue can be resolved by Obama
answering one simple question: What passport did he use when he was shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi ?
So how did a young man who arrived in New York in early June 1981, without the price of a hotel room in his pocket, suddenly come up with the price of a round-the-world trip just a month later?
And once he was on a plane, shuttling between New York , Jakarta , and Karachi , what passport was he offering when he passed through Customs and Immigration?
The American people not only deserve to have answers to these questions, they must have answers. It makes the debate over Obama’s citizenship a rather short and
simple one.
Q: Did he travel to Pakistan in 1981, at age 20?
A : Yes, by his own admission.
Q: What passport did he travel under?
A: There are only three possibilities.
1) He traveled with a U.S. Passport,
2) He traveled with a British passport, or
3) He traveled with an Indonesia passport.
Q: Is it possible that Obama traveled with a U.S.
Passport in 1981?
A: No. It is not possible. Pakistan was on the U.S. State Department’s “no travel” list in 1981.
Conclusion: When Obama went to Pakistan in 1981 he was traveling either with a British passport or an Indonesian passport.
If he were traveling with a British passport that would provide proof that he was born in Kenya on August 4, 1961, not in Hawaii as he claims. And if he were traveling
with an Indonesian passport that would tend to prove that he relinquished whatever previous citizenship he held, British or American, prior to being adopted by his Indonesian step-father in 1967.
Whatever the truth of the matter, the American people need to know how he managed to become a “natural born” American citizen between 1981 and 2008.
Given the destructive nature of his plans for America, as illustrated by his speech before Congress and the disastrous spending plan he has presented to Congress, the
sooner we learn the truth of all this, the better.
If you Don’t care that Your President is not a natural born Citizen and in Violation of the Constitution, then Delete this and go into your cocoon.
If you do care then Forward this!
I did hear that there was one challenge to Obama’s citizenship that was moving forward. This must be the one, other than that I do not know more about it. It will be interesting to see if this really does move forward and if anything comes from it.
He has traveled over seas since being president – he is an American – he must be an American to be president. In order for an American to travel over seas he needs a passport from America. In order to get a passport he needs a birth certificate. He had this as well – don’t you people read the laws before you make up this crap?? – amazing
An interesting article titled ‘Barack Obama, Former CIA Agent’ has many footnotes to back up the claims. Definitely worth a read.

Hello,
I wanted to share with you a great series of events we have taking place in America’s First Military Sanctuary Community, Fayetteville NC. It’s called 31 Days of Glory, the community feels one day in May isn’t enough time to thank soldiers, vets and their families so they’ve dedicated the entire month to doing so. For more information please visit the website 31DaysOfGlory.com. I’ve also attached a press release below for additional information.
Thanks,
Melissa

New York Times Bestselling Author Dana Canedy Kicks Off 31 Days of Glory in Fayetteville/Cumberland County on May 1
The annual month-long military celebration expands to include special events such as a coin ceremony for Children of Fallen Soldiers
Fayetteville, NC – March 26, 2010 – The series of events opens with A Journal for Jordan author Ms. Canedy giving a motivational speech, signing copies of the book, and visiting and connecting with civilians and soldiers and their families at two locations, Fascinate-U Children’s Museum and Fort Bragg’s North Post PX. The book is filled with life lessons that Canedy’s husband, Army First Sergeant Charles Monroe King, wanted to instill in his son in the event he did not return from war. The Pulitzer-Prize winning editor will share her heart-wrenching story with those who truly understand what it’s like to lose a loved one.
31 Days of Glory will honor children of fallen soldiers at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum (ASOM) during a special ceremony where Mayor Anthony Chavonne will present each child with a special coin recognizing them for their courage. Also during the event, winners of the museum’s month-long exhibit, Celebrating & Honoring Military Heroes, will be announced. The display features art from children of military families in Cumberland County Schools.
“Our community is committed to watching over those who watch over us and 31 Days of Glory is just another way for us to honor and recognize the military for bravely protecting our everyday freedoms,” says John Meroski, president and CEO of the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
With various patriotic and military attractions and events taking place throughout the month, 31 Days of Glory offers lively and fun activities for all ages. Please visit http://www.31daysofglory.com for a listing of all events, such as:
Hugh’s Crate, a memorial display honoring Lt. Hugh William Wellons, who was killed in Vietnam in 1966. The exhibit features personal effects he left for his family, and will be shown all month at the Museum of the Cape Fear Historical Complex.
Visit the Cameo Art House Theatre each Saturday in May for the Military Film Festival featuring such films as Paths of Glory, Dr. Strangelove, The Great Dictator, and Hurt Locker.
Join the Fayetteville Downtown Alliance at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum on Saturday, May 15 for the dedication ceremony of its annual Field of Honor. Here, hundreds of American flags will be placed on the museum’s parade grounds and will remain until June 29.
Visitors can take a hands-on approach to honoring soldiers by making a Blue Star Banner at the Fascinate-U Children’s Museum on Saturday, May 8. The banners are traditionally placed in windows of homes of active duty service members during times of war.
31 Days of Glory reflects the collaboration of 20 community organizations dedicated to supporting the military. Recognized by Peter Greenberg in Newsmax magazine as one of America’s most patriotic communities and by TIME magazine as America’s most pro-military town, Fayetteville/Cumberland County is the ideal place to honor and memorialize those who have put their lives on the line to protect our everyday freedoms.
About the FACVB:
The Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is a private, not-for-profit organization responsible for positioning Fayetteville/Cumberland County as a destination for conventions, sporting events and individual travel. For additional information, visit http://www.visitfayettevillenc.com or call 1-800-255-8217. Fayetteville/Cumberland County is the America’s first military sanctuary.

In 2001 George Bush passed a tax cut to the tune of 1.35 trillion dollars. These are federal taxes. The Alternative minimum tax cut was given to those making over $175,000 a year – (not many people and not the average worker). Estate tax – I own one home, I can handle that; but for millionaires owning 4-5 homes – they get a tax break? Gift tax – leaving me millions? – are you getting millions from someone? – No – that is another tax cut for them – where is the avg guys tax break??? The oil companys received 13 billion in tax breaks over this period of time – - I am not an oil man – did not help me – how about you?? Big business thrived over this period and we sent American jobs overseas so that businesses could get more tax breaks. I did get a check for about $250 dollars for stimulus – - I guess that helped?? Why do we want these tax breaks again???
To “concerned about tax cuts” : The problem is that no one (except the powers that be) have ever seen his passport. Or his original BC or Columbia school records etc.
Apparently he doesn’t think that anyone has ever been able to steal a Social Security number either.
“I believe marriage is a religious institution therefore if it contradicts religious beliefs it should not be legal.”
If marriage is a religious institution, why doyou support any government participation or endorsement in the institution? How do you square your position with the first amendment? Why do you force non-religious heterosexual couples to have their legal unions be part of a “religious institution?” How about those whose religions endorse polygamous marriage – why do you legislate against that? Why don’t you promote civil unions for all, and leave marriage for the church?
Hi Steve!
I am in the process of setting up a Bloggers Row for next week’s TEA Party in Manchester (Victory Park) and I would like to invite you and America’s Watchtower to join me and have a presence at the event – interested? I would have preferred to send email, but couldn’t easily see your email address so I’m hoping you’ll get the message this way.
Table and chair would be supplied, along with power – and hopefully we can all get some WiFi goodness from the nearby Library. Set up commences at 3:30pm with the actual speakers starting at around 5:30pm.
Kindest Regards,

Thanks Skip, this sounds great. I will send you an email shortly.
I absolutely adore that you’re pen name, or whatever you would rather call it, is Mr. Pink Eyes. If I saw you in a forum, hell, I would think you were liberal (the smoking in your photo doesn’t help). BUT, then I came to your blog, obviously, and found out… You were far from.
In reading your about me, I was actually extremely disappointed I just couldn’t comment there. It’s a bit of pain to go back and forth to make sure I get everything out here that I wanted to say there. Anywho, straight to the point it is.
I understand that you do not believe in homosexuals engaging in marriage. I don’t understand your reasoning though. You say marriage is a religious institution? Well, sorry, but it’s not. That is why when you get married, you have to go through someone who is ordained lawfully. P.S. It’s also separation of Church and State.
I thought the three points you brought up of ways you believe the government should only spend your money. I just wish you expanded on that last one! Should there be a salary cap? How are the salaries decided? Just how much are you willing to pay through taxes?
Although I don’t agree with a lot of what you’re saying, you’ll be seeing me around a bit!
Thanks for stopping by.
I was using the pen name Mr Pink Eyes up until a couple of weeks ago, up until that point all of my posts were written under Mr Pink Eyes. I now post under my real name, but I haven’t had a chance to update my “about me” page.
I find it interesting that you think the picture of me smoking makes me seem like I would be a liberal. I use that picture of me wearing an ACU patrol cap and either a pipe or a cigar depending on the picture because I thought that it would kind of “tweek” some liberals. It’s the liberals who have banned smoking in many privately owned public places and it is the liberals who are always raising the tobacco tax. Smokers have been under attack for years by the left, that picture was supposed to be a way of throwing it back in their face a little bit.
I think that marriage was initially a religious institution but that the law provides certain benefits with it, and if civil unions give gay couples the same benefits as married couples, I think that is an acceptable alternative. Having said that, my state of New Hampshire has gay marriage, and to tell you the truth this issue is way down on the list for me. We are facing much bigger problems in this country than gay marriage.
The House of Representatives votes on their salaries, there really isn’t anything that we can do about that. But the whole notion of “public service” has gone out the window. The founders did not intend for politics to be a full time job, nor did they expect it to pay all of the bills. That is why congress is not in session full time, the founders and early politicians had to go home to their work in order to pay the bills. Over the years we have lost that and I don’t think that we will ever get it back.
Thanks again for stopping by, I apologize for my delay in responding but I was on vacation. I look forward to seeing you around.
I thought having pink eyes would have been sort of Satanic.
I am worried that Americans have decided that dancing with the devil is a risk worth taking. What I mean by that is many have become dependent on government for jobs and careers and can’t even understand that the economy will only survive with jobs and careers outside government dependencies.
Every latest Democrat candidate in NH has sworn some sort of allegiance to Obama and still think debt creation is a convenience, or better said a risk worth taking. I don’t. I don’t think Americans have read much history and are hoping some how this time socialists will be better trusted than history has proved.
I am terrified at the entrenched naivete that makes up what seems like the well educated who trust more power, more debt and more burden being levied on average citizens with a government mandating near Fascist dictatorship like regulations and access to everyone’s personal records.
I remember back when Republicans were considered big brother and every liberal progressive cried bloody murder when ever the republicans suggested monitoring Americans, but when the socialists/communist/progressive not just suggest it but implement it all the sheep just head to the slaughter pleased that the got their way no matter how detrimental it has damaged our future and our children’s future.
I never thought I would live to see the day a successful brainwashing campaign dummied American’s to the same stupor that Europeans arrived at decades ago, when they chose to dance with the devil. But then again if you refuse to wean yourself off big brother you have chosen what big brother offers…servitude to their master….debt.
The thing that scares me the most is the fact that our children are being indoctrinated into the mindset that the government is the answer to all the problems. They are not being taught what the true role of our government is supposed to be.
Yes, the key to Marxism and socializing people is to demolish their desire to succeed, so you demoralize them with the burden of adult relationships and choices early in their lives; pregnancy and drugs, make them guinea pigs for poor nutrition, abolish competition and remove history from the curriculum so you can indoctrinate to a weakened audience that you give no tools to succeed with. Once the children are forced to grow up without a youthful foundation they are easily to suppress and manipulated by emotions that have never been properly matured.
I call it setting up failure.
Our country is accepting defeat to these lackluster enslavor’s of the will by not resisting the take over of the school system, the workplace and the government with the basics of contempt toward human individual success and will to advance beyond others. Freedom and liberty are not sustainable with a me, me, me attitude and a take from the public treasury to support corrupting forces.
I was reading your “About Me” page and just though I’d let you know. Neither of your quotes are from Thomas Jefferson. The first, “That government is best which governs the least” is actually from Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience. The second, “A government that is big enough to give you everything you want is also big enough to take everything you have.” is from Gerald Ford’s Presidential address to a joint session of Congress (12 August 1974).
Just though I’d let you know.
I encourage you to step outside yourself and your rhetoric for a moment.. I encourage you to move to another country with “less government” and see how much you like the wonderful lack of schools and soccer teams for your sons. I encourage you to befriend a gay individual and tell them to their face, instead of to your blog, that they are not as equal as you, and do not deserve the same things as you. But most of all, I encourage you to put down your FU cigar for a second and research the quotes that so accurately describe you on your about me page. Cause both are wrong and they make you seem even more ridiculous.
Thanks for stopping by, I apologize for not being on the same side of the issues as you. Maybe you will return and try to convince me that I am wrong.
U.S. NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 27 May 2010 at 03:50:08 AM GMT is:
$13,000,891,989,461.71
http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
The estimated population of the United States is 308,448,251
so each citizen’s share of this debt is $42,149.34.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$4.11 billion per day since September 28, 2007!
Concerned? Then tell Congress and the White House!
That’s only one consequence of a growing government.
I accept your apology for not being on the same side of the issues as me. I’ll assume it is sincere.
Also, had the administration immediately seized control of the oil spill operations, let’s not pretend that you wouldn’t be crying and screaming about socialism and the government takeover of a private corporation. I’ll leave you alone now sir, I have to go find my birth certificate. I know it’s around here somewhere.
That is really, really weird a condescending accepting of an apology with an added, let me put some words in your mouth finish so I can still judge you as inferior….what is the point?
It’s the same everywhere progressives dump their load.
I do find it entertaining how easy it is to get under the skin of many people on the left. All it takes is an “FU” cigar and an ACU coat. I love it!
You and your f’n cigar…what kind are they?
I gave up cigars but still love the smell of a good one. Occasionally I’ll hit the smoke shop and get a few.
I’m on Paul Hodes site wrestling with a liberal who has yet to address the topic and has called me names, mention the flat earth and every bit of nonsense but discussing the facts… Joseph Goebbels would be proud of her.
I really never though americans would become as ignorant as their European counterparts in only a few generations but communism has been hard at work for over 60 years trying to change America and they are at the threshold now.
I like the Macanudo Hyde Park Maduro. That is the “FU” cigar featured in the picture. Not that I smoke that often,I haven’t tried many different kinds, but I do like the taste and smell of that one.
I agree with you, it is hard to believe that over the years we have let communism slide closer to reality in America under the guise of liberalism, but we have. I will be checking out you site, thanks for stopping by!
I’m a fan of Macanudo madura also, I’ll have to check out the Hyde Park for my occasional smoke and a cognac.
Besides being in deep dung, I’m worried no legal action is going to stop this if something doesn’t start before the economic adjustments wreak havoc to our nations moral. I’ve never seen such pessimism and such blindness toward the future before and such an acceptance that its the way it is.
Steve, An escapee from Massachusetts who now lives in Florida forwarded your blog to me. My brother who lives in South Carolina is also an escapee from Massachusetts. Neither would return to their home state. When my mother was terminally ill in Massachusetts we returned from Saudi Arabia to care for her. We commuted from our home in California to North Central Massachusetts and searched for a place to settle. Rather than maintaining two homes we sold the California home and moved into the home in Massachusetts we had bought for my parents. From the frying pan into the fire.
We were both avid skiers and the Massachusetts home is only three miles from the largest ski area in the state which offered great discount season passes. So we have remained and support those who want to make a change to the bluest of the “blue states”. We continue to think that we should have settled in New Hampshire but one of your correspondents is correct in saying that many escape Massachusetts to avoid taxes and demand more state services. They are beginning to “screw up” a great conservative state.
Your “About Me” segment echoes many of my sentiments. It may be time to reconsider relocating to New Hampshire. We would have to give up the struggle here but I am beginning to think that Massachusetts is a lost cause.
We have seen socialism up close when we were behind the “Iron Curtain” and also in my many extended visits and travels to Europe for 31 years from 1960 to 1991. If permitted I would like to add some comments and observations about Hagel, Marx and Lenin to enlighten the liberal readers of your blog.
Thanks fos stopping by Roger! If you ever decide to relocate up here, we will welcome you with open arms, we need more people like you up here! Yes New Hampshire has seen an influx of political refugees come up here from Massachusetts only to repeat the errors of their ways once they get here, hopefully we are going to turn it around in November.
Feel free to leave those comments, it will be great to get a perspective from someone who has seen communism up close. If you would prefer, you can email me those comments and I will put them in a post so more people will see them. Giving you full credit, of course!
Dear Steve,
I just have a quick question for you but couldn’t find an email so had to resort to this. I am a progressive blogger. Please email me back at barbaraobrien@maacenter.org when you get a chance. Thanks.

That deafening silence of leading green or ecology organizations such as Greenpeace, Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club and others may well be tied to a money trail that leads right back to the oil industry, notably to BP. Leading environmental organizations have gotten significant financial payoffs in recent years from BP in order that the oil company could remake itself with an “environment-friendly face,” as in “beyond petroleum” the company’s new branding.
The Nature Conservancy, described as “the world’s most powerful environmental group,” [10] has awarded BP a seat on its International Leadership Council after the oil company gave the organization more than $10 million in recent years. [11]
Until recently, the Conservancy and other environmental groups worked with BP in a coalition that lobbied Congress on climate-change issues. An employee of BP Exploration serves as an unpaid Conservancy trustee in Alaska. In addition, according to a recent report published by the Washington Post, Conservation International, another environmental group, has accepted $2 million in donations from BP and worked with the company on a number of projects, including one examining oil-extraction methods. From 2000 to 2006, John Browne, then BP’s chief executive, sat on the CI board.
Further, The Environmental Defense Fund, another influential ecologist organization, joined with BP, Shell and other major corporations to form a Partnership for Climate Action, to promote ‘market-based mechanisms’ (sic) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental non-profit groups that have accepted donations from or joined in projects with BP include Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club and Audubon. That could explain why the political outcry to date for decisive action in the Gulf has been so muted. [12]
Of course those organizations are not going to be the ones to solve this catastrophe. The central point at this point is who is prepared to put the urgently demanded federal and international scientific resources into solving this crisis. Further actions of the likes of that from the Obama White House to date or from BP can only lead to the conclusion that some very powerful people want this debacle to continue. The next weeks will be critical to that assessment.

Didn’t want to deflect a blog post with this – this particular morning, I’m a little surprised to learn that Florida captured that fool sho shot and killed the two police officers in Tampa because they’d fouond out about an outstanding warrant.
I really thought he’d be shot trying to escape.
It’s a really high mark for their professionalism and integrity, but it’s disappointing to realize the no matter what, it’s at least ten years before this clown pays the price for what he did – if he pays at all.
By the way – I thought that a lawyer’s job, in a criminal case, was to advocate for his client and ensure a fair trial. Now, in the canons, from what I understand, it’s to get the client off. Look at this scumbag vandersloot, who appears hellbent on avoiding trial in Peru at all costs, and has made it very clear he intends to exploit the Western-style justice system to escape justice.
Anyway, enjoy a glorious Independence Day! (I hate it when I hear references to the “Fourth of July” – when was the last time you made plans for December 25th Dinner?)
