A Koch And A Smile
Oct 27, 2015 2016 Election, Political
I am sure many folks have heard of the Koch brothers. They are the successful guys who use their money to support candidates they believe in and are the most hated by liberals. They are constantly attacked by the likes of Harry Reid and his ilk and made out to be demons because of who (and what) they spend their money on.
Charles and David Koch happen to support conservative candidates and causes so, to liberals, when they spend their money on these things they are evil and what is wrong in America.
The left never complains about the evil man George Soros and his money. Soros has spent millions upon millions of dollars for liberal causes and no liberal ever questions the way that money is spent or declares that Soros is what is wrong with America. George is Jewish but he pretended to be Christian and helped confiscate Jew’s property for the Nazis. He also broke the Bank of England by manipulating the currency.
He is an evil man but since he spends his money on liberal/progressive causes he is cherished among the left.
The Koch brothers, to the left, are horrible people who want to see people die so they can earn more money.
Never mind the fact that the Koch brothers employ 60,000 people and produce products that we need. I know that liberals don’t care for toilet paper (from those who say we should use one sheet to those Occupy Wall Street types who just crap where they want) but the civilized among us are happy it is available. Even liberals can’t get by the fact that Dixie cups and Brawny paper towels make life better. The funny thing is their company makes some of the parts that are used in smart phones. You know, the devices liberals take pictures with to decry capitalism…
The Koch’s produce many products that make our lives better and they employ a lot of folks who work hard, earn good money and pay taxes.
Yep, they have to be bad because they are successful.
Charles Koch recently discussed his views about being demonized in order to clear the air.
He is tired of being a villain for spending his money as he sees fit.
I don’t blame him. It is HIS money and he can spend it how he wants (and if he wants to give me a million dollars I would not be unhappy about that). I don’t care for Soros and will have a party when he finally leaves this place but he can spend his money as he wishes.
Mr. Koch’s charitable donations equal about $305,000 per day ($111 million last year). You never hear about that when he is being demonized.
The reality is America needs more people like the Kochs, who want everyone to succeed, and fewer like Soros who want to increase their wealth at the expense and misery of others.
Liberals hate the Kochs because they are the American Dream. They have succeeded and spread their wealth around while providing good paying jobs for a large number of people. They are proof that you can make it in America.
Liberals can’t have that because they want people to be slaves to the government plantation, particularly a government plantation run by liberal task masters.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Add Me To The No Regret List
May 11, 2015 Political, Religion of Peace
The Associated Press is upset that Pam Geller has no regrets that two terrorists were killed when they tried to attack an event she was part of. The event was a contest to draw MoHAMad something those ‘tolerant” Muslims don’t like.
Two guys tried to attack the event but were stopped by a good guy with a gun he knew how to use.
The liberal world is up in arms because Geller would dare to have such an event. But liberals are not the only ones. Bill O’Reilly is also blaming her. Hell, many alleged conservatives have decided to blame the victims here and those victims are the people whose First Amendment rights are being trampled upon.
Add me to the list about having no regrets that two terrorists died. If these jackasses had not shown up and started shooting they would still be alive to molest goats and spread hatred.
So as far as I am concerned there is no issue here. Geller and her group did nothing illegal and were only exercising their rights.
I would like to know why it is people will attack Geller and defend those who were “offended” so much so that they resorted to a terrorist attack but will not attack the people who walk all over the American Flag knowing this is provocative as well.
Perhaps it is because they know that those offended by the Flag walkers will not show up shooting those who demonstrate such ignorance. Sure folks show up and try to take the Flag or stop the people walking on it but they don’t show up shooting.
No one calls for the Flag walkers to stop because they might incite people.
No, they only tell people to stop when it might offend Muslims because that might lead to violence. It seems to me that the same people who tell us Islam is a religion of peace and full of tolerant people are also telling us not to upset members of that cult because they will resort to violence.
Here is an idea for the AP and others who are upset with Geller. Why not tell gays to stop holding hands and kissing in public because it might offend the Muslims? Why not tell women to cover up and stop driving because it might offend Muslims?
Or how about we live our lives in freedom and if people get upset so be it. If they resort to violence they can be dealt with, preferably like they were in Texas.
Geller did nothing wrong but the way the AP and others are acting one would think she is the reason for the attack.
What next AP? Will rape victims be blamed because they wore revealing clothes?
I side with Geller and all others who exercise their freedoms. That includes Muslims who want to PEACEFULLY object to things they do not like.
What I do not side with is blaming the victims and that is what is happening here.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

The City That Never Sleeps Hides From Snow
Jan 27, 2015 Political
Comrade Bill de Blasio, the mayor of New York City said it could be the storm of the century and told people to stay in. Don’t go out and don’t drive. If you drive, according to Governor Cuomo, you will be breaking the law and could face a $300 fine.
Chris Christie in New Jersey (a suburb of New York) closed ALL the roads because of the impending storm.
This will be historic with FEET, hear that, FEET of snow. Prepare now by getting what you need from the store and then going home and staying there.
And whatever you do DON’T drive.
Now that the storm had underwhelmed by dropping a mere pittance of snow (about 6 inches in New York) and missed areas like the Baltimore region nearly completely the aftermath shows that people are turning into wimps.
It is snow and places that have a cold winter usually get snow. Certainly people should have enough sense not to drive if the roads are bad or they do not have a vehicle capable of handling snow but to close down the city that never sleeps and to close roads across entire states is the nanny state dictating how people act.
They are turning people into wimps who can’t think for themselves and can’t decide whether or not to drive. No need, the government that decides on how much soda you can drink and bans trans fats has also dictated whether you can drive in the snow.
Doctors, nurses, EMTs, firefighters, those who care for others, police officers, all must go out. If you can’t drive then you walk if you are able or the National Guard picks up the mission essential and takes them to work. But if you are able to drive why should you have to resort to other methods?
Because the government said so. They need the streets clear so they can plow. Got it, but government is not usually an essential entity and while snow plows are essential to clearing roads many people are essential to the operation of a company or they are essential to the health care and protective services system.
We all can’t just take the day off because Comrade Mayor says to stay home.
Hey, for those who can telework or otherwise work from home then it makes sense. Unfortunately, not all jobs allow that luxury.
This is not to say that if one ventures out in a bad storm for a joy ride or non essential travel and gets stuck that there should be no consequence. They should pay to be pulled out and be fined if they hamper recovery efforts. However, they should be free to decide.
Americans should be ruggedly independent but are increasingly just dependent and that dependence is on government.
The hype by government officials is detrimental to good order. They screamed from mountain tops to stay in because of the historic storm. Now that it fizzled out people are less likely to heed warnings in the future. The mayor who cried wolf has seen to that.
People, use common sense and if you can stay in then do so. If you must travel then do so carefully and at your own risk.
But maybe there is an upside. Perhaps in a city that never sleeps people finally got some shut eye…

Freedom Means For All No Matter What We Think About It
Nov 11, 2014 General, Military
Freedom of religions and expression is for everyone no matter what others think of what is expressed…
There is an NBA player named Dion Waiters who refuses to stand for the National Anthem. He claims that as a Muslim it violates his religion. I don’t know how it could but I am not a Muslim and it is not my place to judge or interpret his religion so long as what he does in no way infringes on my rights or the rights of others.
The fact is he has a right not to stand for the National Anthem and if he chooses to exercise that right it is his business. A lot of people do not agree and have been calling him out and that is their right as well but the one thing they can’t and shouldn’t try to do is force him to comply.
This is Veteran’s Day, a day when we honor those who have served this nation. We served to protect the rights of the citizens of this great nation and that means that sometimes folks will do things within their rights that we don’t like. When they do it means veterans did their jobs and did them well.
It might not go over well that I feel this way but freedom is for everyone no matter what they choose to do or not to do so long as they don’t hurt or bother someone else. I don’t like the fact that he will not stand to pay tribute to the nation that allowed him to succeed and gave him all the opportunities in the world BUT I will die defending his right to do just that.
I think it is a dishonor to the nation when people do not stand for the National Anthem particularly when there are so many veterans who can’t stand at all BUT the reality is freedom means people get to choose things that others might not like and when they do those things without fear of punishment it affirms that our veterans have done their jobs well.
People do not have to like what this guy does (that is THEIR right) but if they are unwilling to tolerate his right to do as he wishes (in this case based on his religious beliefs) then those folks have no claim when their rights are violated.
When one of us loses our freedom we all lose our freedom…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

State Run Media In The US
Sep 25, 2014 Political
In a free country the media would publish stories that it produced and it would not take into account the feelings of the people affected (except to protect people like minors or to clear up errors in facts). This is particularly true with regard to politicians. The media are the fourth estate and a free press (now all media) ensures that public servants are held accountable.
This is only true and only works if the media are unbiased and unhampered.
Unfortunately we have a biased media and that media, at least those reporting on the president, are hampered as the White House receives the reports from the press pool and distributes them.
This is not ideal but the White House has the ability to shoot the press pool reports to a large media audience and this is a task the press pool can’t (or won’t) accomplish. All in all this would not be bad since the White House has the resources.
The rub though, is the White House reads the reports first and has, according to some reporters, demanded that the press change the reports.
This is not how a free press or free society works. The White House should not be reading these prior to release and if there are errors noted after release then the White House can release its own statement. Items found to be in error can be corrected by the media.
We have a state controlled media with regard to the White House press pool. What happens if the reporter refuses to change the report? Does the White House refuse to forward it? Does the White House hold it until it can devise a spin or until the information loses its impact?
Perhaps it is time for the press pool to devise its own distribution framework so that the White House is not involved.
This way the White House does not influence or control the media (any more than a Democrat controlled White House already does).
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.
