Remember This Night..
Posted by: | CommentsFor it is the eve of what may very well be the 2nd American Revoloution..
If the democrats pass this incredibly irrational piece of shit know as the health care bill, it should be the lighting of the proverbial fuse that results in an amazing sequence of events. There are turning points and hinges in history, this is without a doubt a profound one.
I for one plan on losing some people that heretofore I considered “friends.” I will be asking people who they voted for, and if they supported this nightmare. If they answer Obama and/or Yes. That’s it, its FUCK YOU ASSHOLE and Good bye. I am getting a very strong sense of what it must have felt like to live in the south just prior to the start of the war for southern independence..
Folks, this is the time when all honest men and women need to stand up and start judging. Forget all that bullshit about thou shalt not judge! If you don’t judge your neighbors and your elected representatives on this, then shame on you! You will be part of the sinking of this formerly great county damn it!
It is Time to use the N-Word
Posted by: | CommentsAfter the United States Senate passed its version of nationalized healthcare, Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky warned Democrats that they would catch an earful from constituents. Several neighbors have already sent scorching emails to Senators Feingold and Kohl and Representative Ron Kind.
The correspondences berated these Wisconsin representatives for their yes vote on several fronts ranging from the havoc government run health care will bring to medical care, the cost, and the Constitutionality of it all. These arguments were well vocalized at town hall meetings during the congressional summer recess and tea party rallies. Even recent opinion polls have reflected distaste for government-run healthcare by a vast majority of respondents. Despite all of this, the Democrats turned their backs and voted aye.
No reason exists to believe that votes will be switched before the final conference bill comes to the respective floors of Congress just because representatives receive an additional load of outraged public sentiment. It is obvious the Senators and House members who support the legislation do not care about opinions, economic logic, or the Constitution they swore to uphold and defends (to be fair, the Republicans have not shown any adherence to the Constitution either).
Some believe the wrath of 2010 elections will bring a dramatic realignment in Congress and the possibility that health care legislation in part or whole will be rescinded; unfortunately, the numbers damper such wishful thinking. Republicans plus any moderate Democrats will need to control two-thirds of the seats in both houses of Congress in order to override a certain Presidential veto. The odds of this happening are about the same as an individual hitting Powerball.
But not all is lost and the country does not need to blindly follow the path of Washington D.C. Letters need to be written and emails sent to state representatives urging one of two actions. Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 states,
all Duties, Imports, and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States
The special treatment exempting Nebraska from future Medicare tax increases in order to garner the vote of Senator Ben Nelson is one of the more egregious usurpations of the Constitution ever witnessed. The state of Wisconsin and the other 48 states must bear the costs of federal law for the Cornhusker state. Our elected officials in Madison should not stand idle while the citizens of Wisconsin shoulder the burden for the special exemption of another state. For me and my neighbors, emails need to bombard the in boxes of Kitty Rhoades in the State Assembly and Shelia Harsdorf in the Senate demanding that they protect the people of Wisconsin from this legislation. The state legislature needs to file suit with the US Supreme Court and ask that the healthcare bill with its Nebraska exemption be declared unconstitutional. Read More→
John Mackey – An American Hero?
Posted by: | CommentsI think so.. As much as I detest the Christian News Channel, aka FoxNews (btw, I detest CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC more) they do occasionally have some excellent guest appearances. One such appearance recently was John Mackey. Oh, the scum bags tag on this one is in reference to some of the members of the audience, and a couple of the clips of protesters, and, especially, the final segment where Stossel brings in another guy (didn’t get his name but is clearly an unapologetic socialist)..

The Post Turtle
Posted by: | Comments
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who’s hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our president.
The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, Obama is a ‘Post Turtle”.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.
The old rancher said, ‘When youre driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.
The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor’s face so he continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, and he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with’
Can you tell the difference?

Hudson Tea Party set for April 15th
Posted by: | CommentsKudos to my neighbors Stan & Mary Wekkin for organizing a Tea Party rally in North Hudson next Wednesday. The rally is set to take place at Mudds & Sudds from 4-6 p.m.
“This is our opportunity to remind the government that they work for us; we pay their salaries.” said Stan Wekkin
“Many of us have learned the hard way that debt catches up to you. When will our elected officials understand that?” asked Mary Wekkin
All area residents are invited to participate. The Wekkins have stated that this is a non-partisan event and if you are inclined to bring a sign please respect their wishes and make the sign non-partisan reflecting your feelings about taxes, spending and debt.
Future Tea Party rallies are being scheduled for Independence Day, Labor Day and Election Day.
Where Is The Outrage!
Posted by: | CommentsThis is INCREDIBLE stuff on its face, even more incredible is the fact that there is no national outrage over this! Where are the people’s representatives? Call your congressman, call your Senator, Call you freekin mother! All you pin heads who were screaming about AIG executives getting bonus money after bailout funds were distributed need to wake up! That whole menagerie was just that – smoke and mirrors.
You want a real reason to be outraged – this is it!
Napolitano:
I was at a dinner last night (3/31/09) in Washington, D.C.. sitting next to me was a banker who was the Chair and CEO of one of the ten largest banking holding companies in the United States. They have $250 billion in assets, no bad debt of which they are aware, did not engage in credit default swaps, they have no sub-prime mortgages, and they dont need any government assistance.He informed me that the FDIC and The Treasury came to him and said if you dont issue a special class of stock just for us, which we can borrow, we will audit you publicly it will cost you millions in employee time and bad publicity and in lost business. Thats your choice.
Isnt that extortion?
This successful banker begged the federal government to let him run his bank. Begged his board of directors to let him tell the FDIC to go take a hike.
The board caved, they issued a special class of stock, Hank Paulson bought the special class of stock (2% of the company’s stock). That was September
Come March (knock, knock) Sheila Bair (FDIC head) comes knocking: we own 2% of your stock, and heres how you are going to structure your corporation
So, A, if this story is true, and I have no reason to believe it is not true, this is extortion. Which is, B, a crime, and C, we have a 2% share owner of non-voting stock now trying to control management.
Stossel: Is this the banker that gives out copies of Atlas Shrugged ? The charity that does that?
Napolitano: Yes.
Napolitano: John, you would have been very comfortable at this dinner party…
Stossel: Yes, I would have.

Posted by: | CommentsThe above video was created last summer (June 2008) before Obama took office. It highlights a new law requiring that insurance companies ignore a person’s genetic risk factors in the sale of health insurance.
Mr. Bowden, an attorney, writes about legal issues for the Ayn Rand Institute in Irvine, California
To see the upshot of this, in the context of the here and now, one only need consider national healthcare. For a preview of coming attractions, check out this pdf..health-care-ma-usa-wsj-20090327.
Opening Doors, a research paper written by a local 14 year-old
Posted by: | CommentsWhen James Thompson, a University of Wisconsin scientist, successfully isolated and cultivated stems cells obtained from human embryos in 1998, the science community had reached new heights. The drive for new medical discoveries and breakthroughs in the world has always been significant. This new discovery opened doors to worlds of opportunity. In the excitement many people did not realize the consequences of using the embryos for research. In the process of creating new cures for diseases the human embryos are destroyed. George W. Bush once said at a gathering, Each of these children was adopted while still an embryo, and has been blessed with the chance to grow up in a loving family. These boys and girls are not spare parts. They remind us of what is lost when embryos are destroyed in the name of research. They remind us that we all began as a small collection of cells. And they remind us that in our zeal for new treatments and cures, America must never abandon our fundamental morals (Parks 36, 37). He said this while facing a crowd of families whose children had developed from embryos stored in fertilization houses. The world cannot throw those morals away and must remember how sacred human life is. The field of human embryonic stem cell research has great potential, but it arouses conflicts that are unethical and immoral making alternative options more sensible. Read More→
