Iran Needs to Learn a Lesson
Mar 29, 2007 Uncategorized
The Iranians are playing a dangerous game with the rest of the world and it might bite them in their six. The Iranians have taken British sailors and Marines hostage and they did so by trespassing into Iraqi waters. I know there are disputes about this but the British have shown conclusive evidence and there are Iraqi witnesses who say the Brits were in the correct waters when they were abducted. This is nothing new for Ahmadinejad as he was one of the people who held Americans hostage during Carter’s reign of mendacity.
I proposed the solution from the get go but the leaders of the free nations lacked the testicular fortitude to do what I suggested. They should have targeted every major population center in Iran and told them that in six hours they would be wiped out. Screw the UN and the rest of the world because you can not trust any of them for help. The British went to the UN to get help and were blocked by the damned Russians who are obviously in bed with the Iranians. I think Britain should put in a proposal to block Russian trade with Iran because the damned Russians are selling the Iranian terrorists their nuclear materials. In any event, the UN is worthless and 15 British warriors sit in captivity.
The Iranians are liars as are most Muslim leaders who will say anything in order to advance their cause. They are forcing the British hostages to admit they were in Iranian water even though they were not and they made the female write a letter claiming that she and her mates were wrong. The British are not happy with this and it is going to get real ugly real fast if Iran does not stop playing games.
As for me, I am up for issuing an ultimatum giving Iran a deadline and then obliterating them if they do not listen. The UN and Russia can take an aeronautical intercourse at a revolving pastry if they do not like it. Britain is tired of playing games with that half ape Ahmadinejad and his pig screwing buddies. Issue the death threat and carry it out. Screw anyone who condemns and people will leave us and Britain the hell alone. Eliminate Iran and all her people. We must wipe them off the map.

NOW’s Demands Present Some Problems
Mar 29, 2007 Uncategorized
The National Organization of Women is making a few demands that should have long reaching repercussions with regard to how federal money is doled out. NOW has filed a suit contending that the Promoting Responsible Fatherhood Initiative violates Title IX because it is a program that pays money for education to men. NOW says that this is sex discrimination and needs to stop. I guess they have a point and this kind of thing needs to stop all over so as soon as possible the government needs to end this discrimination as well as a few others.
The Women’s, Infant, and Children (WIC) program is a federal program that provides money to low income women so they can eat and can feed their children. The mission of WIC is:
WIC provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children who are found to be at nutritional risk. WIC
This is obviously a discriminatory program and it needs to either stop or it needs to include low income men who fathered children to apply and receive money to eat. Men need to be nutritionally sound too.
Another program that needs to cease is one that deals with sexual discrimination as well as racial discrimination and that is the minority business program. Federal agencies are required to contract with minority and woman owned businesses before they can contract with other businesses. The supply system is set up to buy from women and minority owned businesses first. This is discrimination and should not be allowed to continue. Men who own businesses should have the same access to government contract that women and minorities do. The entire set aside program is contained in 13 CFR 124.
NOW can demand that they be given equality in the case of the Fatherhood Initiative but only so long as we eliminate these other discriminatory wastes of taxpayer money.

Is Edwards Exploiting Wife’s Illness?
Mar 28, 2007 Uncategorized
I stated from the beginning that I believed that John Edwards was not out exploiting his wife’s illness and I am sure, regardless of what kind of ambulance chaser he is, that he would rather have his wife healthy than hold any office, including that of the president. I know there are skeptics out there who feel that he is using her illness to score points off the sympathy. I feel that people are skeptical because he is continuing with his run for the White House even though his wife is basically terminally ill and will eventually die from her disease. I could be wrong but I heard she had stage IV cancer and that is pretty well along. In any event, I continue to keep her in my prayers.
I think the Edwards decided to keep going and the decision was made jointly. Ms. Edwards is pretty political herself and she weighed in and decided that regardless of her plight, America needs her husband as president. I don’t agree with that but I understand the sentiment. Also, this was the most appropriate decision. He said he would keep running. If things get worse later he can drop out then. If he drops out now, he can’t go back so the decision was appropriate from a tactical standpoint. Regardless of what people think, this was a right decision for them. I have known a number of people who have had cancer and some hear the news, and head back to work and set up appointments to decide on a course of action. Others get cancer and fall apart, unable to take decisions. It is a very individual thing. Ms. Edwards seems like the kind of person who would not let this tear her into pieces. I might be wrong but she seems like a strong person.
I started my hospital career working on an oncology floor and I have taken care of hundreds (if not thousands) of cancer patients. I have sat with many while they died and prayed with others as they heard good news. I remember an elderly man who found out that he “had the cancer” and he was beside himself. He was fumbling and had a hard time accepting his situation. That was how he handled the news. I treated another patient, a beautiful lady in her 40’s who had terminal breast cancer. She was going to die and yet she came in on schedule and got chemotherapy. This is a process that is unpleasant and makes the patient ill. Yet she kept coming in and she was always in good spirits. I remember working with her when her teen aged daughter showed up with her prom date so mom could see and take pictures. When they left she and I had a conversation and I asked her why she was going through the chemotherapy and spending her time in the hospital when she could be spending it at home, especially on nights like this. I told her that I was curious and admired her strength. She told me that her daughter graduated in May and “I promised her I would be there.” Her sole motivation was the promise to see her daughter graduate. She made it to that day and died fewer than two months later but she fulfilled her goal. She made it to that thing she decided she wanted to live for. I think Ms. Edwards has that same kind of make up.
While I am discussing cancer, Tony Snow found out that his has spread to his liver. He too, has vowed to fight the disease. He, like Edwards, is a fighter and will give it all he has. I have read many items about these two and every Conservative site that I have been to has nothing but well wishes for Ms. Edwards and Mr. Snow. That is not the case on some other sites. There is a jackass out there (I will not link to him) who has made a T shirt that has a picture of Snow and it says something like I lost my colon but I haven’t lost my asshole. It is some vile thing like this and the site owner justifies this by citing the nastiness of others (like Limbaugh toward M J Fox). I read at the site where he wrote just because you have cancer does not mean you are nice and then explains that his mother died of cancer so I guess we are to infer she was not nice. Any way, I think it is vile but this is America and one day when this idiot is dying of cancer maybe they can make a shirt about him. Can you imagine if Bill Clinton was dying of AIDS and someone had a T Shirt that said Bill Clinton got an Anal Injected Death Sentence? The left and probably this idiot, would come unglued.
I will not resort to those kinds of games. I can call names and berate people for their politics but I wish nothing but the best for any American who is sick, regardless of party affiliation. I refuse to become what the left accuses us of and what they really are.
Please keep Tony Snow and Elizabeth Edwards in your prayers. And please say a prayer for those whose lives are so pathetic that they attack those who are ill.

Was it a No Bid Contract?
Mar 28, 2007 Uncategorized
House Democrats are putting the final touches on a contract with a private law firm that they will use to investigate the perfectly legal firing of eight federal prosecutors. This is nothing more than a ruse and a political game that will cost tax payers $225,000. Well, that is what the contract is for but we all know that there will be over runs and it will end up costing much more. That is the way the government does things, especially those in Congress who do not have to follow proper contracting procedures.
Basically, the Democrats have their panties in a wad because George Bush’s administration was not as careful about politically motivated firings as was the Clinton administration. You see, there were eight prosecutors that Bush’s people wanted gone so that is how many they got rid of. The claim is that it was for political reasons related to investigations and that might well be but I do not think there is an exception for that under the description of “at will” employees. Clinton did the same thing but he was smarter, or more politically savvy about it. He needed to fire one prosecutor who was investigating and getting ready to drop the bomb on Clinton supporter and friend, Dan Rostenkowski. Dan was a bad Congressman who Clinton needed to protect but if he had fired one prosecutor it would have been suspicious so Clinton fired the whole lot. This only put off the inevitable as Rostenkowski was found guilty of mail fraud. However, Clinton pardoned him. Bush is under investigation because he did not get rid of all 93 prosecutors. Of course if he had, the donks would be complaining about that as well.
I want to know if this law firm that has been contracted had to put in a bid. Did Congress put out a Request for Proposal (RFP) and did they solicit bids from a number of firms? Did they then look at the proposals and determine which law firm would best represent the needs of the investigation while being fiscally responsible with taxpayer money? Odds are, this was a no bid award and that is the same thing these weak spined Democrats cry about all the time. I am willing to bet they did not follow the same process they deride Bush for not following whenever Halliburton gets a no-bid contract. I do not believe that Congress needs these lawyers and this law firm. It is a gross waste of tax payer money and it will produce no results. I am also very skeptical and believe that this law firm or the one it will subcontract has ties to someone in Congress. This sounds like a pay off to a friend or family member.
My predictions are:
- This will cost a hell of a lot more than $225,000.
- We will find someone with a connection to the law firm.
- Nothing will be solved by this and it will be a waste of money.
- Some Democrat will get caught in corruption (with regard to this) and it will be ignored by the Democrats and their sock puppets in the media.
- If this is no-bid and discovered as such, Democrats will rationalize in order to justify doing that which they claim is evil and a pay off when done by a Republican.

Google Stupidity and See if Rosie Comes Up
Mar 27, 2007 Uncategorized
As many of you know, the Iranians have taken 15 British warriors hostage. This should be no surprise since the Iranian president was involved in taking Americans hostage during the Carter presidency. In any event, the British were in Iraqi waters. The British, Americans, French, and Iraqis all attest to this as does a fisherman who witnessed the incident. The Iranians have seized these war fighters ILLEGALLY. Rosie O’Donnell was on her show, The Dog Kennel View and she implied that this was a Gulf of Tonkin type incident to allow us to attack Iran:
But interesting with the British sailors, there were 15 British sailors and Marines who apparently went into Iranian waters and they were seized by the Iranians. And I have one thing to say: Gulf of Tonkin, Google it. Okay. News Busters
For those who do not know, the Gulf of Tonkin incident was an incident where it was alleged that North Vietnamese had been aggressive to US warships and that incident, under the control of a Democrat, drew us into the Vietnam war. This is stupid because the Gulf of Tonkin issue involved items that might not have happened. President Johnson could not confirm that the North Vietnamese had been aggressive. In this incident we can clearly see that the Iranians have become the aggressor. They enteres Iraqi waters and abducted the British soldiers. Rosie, it might be hard for you to understand, but this is not make believe. They were captured and your utterance that they had gone into Iranian waters as if that were a fact shows that you have no concept of what is going on and will side with anyone before you will side with your country or our allies.
So folks, before you pay attention to this blow hard, read the news and look at the facts. The Gulf of Tonkin might have been contrived to get us into war but in this case, the Iranians really did show aggression. The British were where they belonged and the Iranians violated Iraqi territorial waters and took them hostage. We know from their history that the Iranians (especially their President) will invade a sovereign territory to abduct people. They invaded our embassy and took Americans hostage. That was an act of aggression and an act of war and if Jimmy Carter had had any balls he would have made dust out of them and we would not have these issues today.
Ever notice that every time we get stung by the bad guys we get stung by people who a Democrat placated? Carter gave us this mess and Clinton gave us 9/11. Leave it to Rosie to miss that with her anti American anti-Britain attitude. Maybe the terrorists will abduct her and cut her head off. Na, they don’t touch pork…
