To Mosque, or not to Mosque. That is the question

To Mosque, or not to Mosque. That is the question



Right now, as I write this; the Iranian President is ordering his minions to dig hundreds of graves. These graves are for Americans. (IF we attack his country.)

Why would the Iranian President FEAR that “we” would attack “his” country..??

Maybe the president of Iran is worried because he is about to fire up Iran’s FIRST nuclear power plant, against the wishes of many in the world, so the Iranian president has ordered the digging of graves for dead Americans.

Talk about “busy work.” Talk about a government wasting money on bogus jobs that really DO nothing.

In America, we were angry that President Obama spent 20 million bucks putting up signs along the highway. Signs that talked about all the jobs that were created by the “stimulus.”

In Iran, they are building graves for no one.

Maybe they could plant some pretty flowers in all those holes in the ground?

Why is the Iranian President doing this, now?

I could see this happening during the “evil” cowboy presidency of BUSH. However, Bush hasn’t been president for almost two years. President Obama, to my knowledge, has done every thing that he can to reach out to Muslims and Iran, yet they turn around and do this..??



This could be a “teachable moment” for President Obama and the left...

Some people “hate” for no other reason than the fact that they just “hate” YOU.

So, the question is no longer: “what can we do to stop ‘them’ from hating us?” We have answered that question- “There is nothing, nothing that we can do to stop them from hating us.”

So the question becomes: What are “WE” going to do about “THEM?”

I hate using terms like “we” and “them.”

I hate using those terms because there is so many of “us”, (and there is a hell of a lot of “them.”)

We are all different. Why would anyone lump all of “us” into one category?

But the Iranian President did.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad didn’t say that he would fill those empty graves with DEAD Republicans. No, he is going to fill those graves with “Americans.” He doesn’t seem to care if you are a democrat or a republican.

Will Iran fill those empty graves with Christians or Jews only? No. The graves are being built for all Americans, regardless if you believe in God or not.

The only way to save yourself is to convert to Islam. (Or, at least, do whatever the Iranian President wants.)

Beyond the question of: “What will we do about them,” begs the question: “Why do we give “them” so much power?”

You may have guessed by now, my editorial for today is on “power” and “tolerance.”



Every so often, a political issue comes up that is truly only an Americans issue. This issue wouldn’t happen in many other nations because we enjoy great freedom. But with freedom comes tolerance, because I may not like your freedom. (Or what you choose to do with your freedom.)



It is an American issue that causes Americans to become even more Americanized, by assuming that they are more American then their American counterparts, because only a non-American who doesn’t have the Americanization, would think like that.

Totally un-American. (You catch my drift..??)

So a group of Muslims want to build a Mosque at the 9/11 ground zero site. They want this Mosque to be opened on 9/11/11. (Which would be the ten year anniversary of THE DAY that members of radical Islam flew planes into the World Trade Towers and killed thousands of Americans.)

This Mosque would not be on the “actual” site of the attack on America, it is 2 blocks away. Yet, that is only 600 feet away from ground zero, which is sacred ground, which should only be used for high priced office buildings and financial trading business.

Hell, you will not even be able to SEE this Mosque from ground zero. Oh YES YOU CAN, if you are standing in the right place.

This isn’t an evil Mosque, it is a place of tolerance where all people can visit and enjoy. Oh yea, then why is opening day on the anniversary of 9/11, and why can’t we discover where the money to build this Mosque is coming from?

On and on rages the debate about the ground zero Mosque.

Is America tolerant enough to allow this type of freedom..??

Hold on now, you are way ahead of this editorial, and missing an important question...

Does America allow an “anything goes” type of freedom..??

The answer is no.

Are you “FREE” enough to sit on your porch and yell, scream, drink beer, and pass gas.

YES, (aaahhh, that is until a neighbor complains and calls the police.) Then, you will have to shut your pie hole.



Try putting a fence around your property.

To put a fence around your property, you MUST get a city / county permit. In most states, to issue the permit, you must have the permission of all neighbors who could be affected by this fence, (your fence could block my view, etc.) If one person objects to the building of this fence, your project could be halted, even though the fence would be on YOUR property.

That was just a stupid little fence, we have millions of Americans who object to this Mosque being placed so close to ground zero, and we can’t stop it. But we could stop the building of a fence..?? This logic doesn’t make sense, does it.



Maybe we should try a little experiment in “tolerance.” Maybe we should open a female strip club near ground zero. But this will not be just any strip club with naked female dancers, this strip club will be a religion. As a religion, some “members” of THIS church will attend to worship the female body. It will be nonprofit, and not pay taxes to the city or state, and it will help the poor with it’s profits. Since it will be located within the financial district of New York City, we will call it: “Frisky Business.”

The Church of “Frisky Business.”



Or maybe Fox News’ “Red Eye” TV show host- Greg Gutfeld is on to something by raising money to build a Muslim Gay Bar next to the ground zero Mosque? Let’s see how tolerant the Muslims are. (Considering that Gay Muslims are killed by other Muslims in many of their home countries.)

Would Republican Mayor Bloomberg and his minions in City Council be so tolerant of Gutfeld’s Muslim Gay Bar, or my “Church of Frisky Business” opening at ground zero..??

Probably not.

But, herein lies the problem.

Mayor Bloomberg, City Council, and local community groups HAVE given their blessings on this Mosque’s construction.

Local government- that was our “fail-safe.”

Local politicians could have stopped this Mosque from being built for a dozen different reasons, and that might have been the end of it. Yet, Bloomberg and others have chosen to make a political statement out of a tragedy.

And what is the political statement that they are trying to make..??

That America is SO tolerant, we will allow a religion to build a HUGE religious monument at ground zero, we do not care where the money is coming from, (because we are so tolerant) and we do not mind that the Mosque will be opened on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the very day that other members of THE SAME RELIGION destroyed NYC.

So I have to ask my friends on the Right; “Do we truly have tolerance in America.?”

And folks on the Left, I must ask; “Why do you give Muslims so much power?” Muslims do not have that much power, YOU ARE GIVING THAT POWER TO THEM. Why?

You do not give Christians that much power. You do not give any other religion the power that you give to Muslims. Why? Do you fear Muslims? Do you feel sorry for them?

Maybe you do not see things clearly because there is a curtain hiding your view? Let me remove that curtain so you can see better.

Let’s say that a few Catholic Priests were molesting children. Would you be angry at the actual Priests who did the molesting? Or would you condemn the Catholic Religion in general for hiding the affair, moving Priests around from church to church, and not doing enough to stop it?

(Aaahh, you are starting to see, because the curtain is coming free.)

Would you be angry at Muslims, in general, because they are NOT doing enough to stop the radicals within their own religion from killing innocent people and blowing shit up? Would you be angry at Muslims who do not report radicals in their Mosque, or neighborhood?

Yes, the curtain is free, and now you see.

You are giving a group of people MORE power, than you would give anyone else.



OK, just because I am a conservative, it doesn’t mean that I will take it easy on my conservative friends. (This is where I get kicked out of the “conservative club”- again.)

Tolerance

Let’s say a White guy, who is very critical of the FIRST Black President, decided to hold a BIG rally on the VERY day that Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I have a dream” speech. What if this White guy, (who has been very critical of the first Black President) decided to hold that BIG rally at almost the very SAME spot as Martin Luther King Jr gave his famous speech, would that be OK..??

Should that day be held strictly for the memory of Martin Luther King Jr?

Being a conservative, and having listened to Glenn Beck, I know that Beck will treat this day with the utmost respect. This isn’t a “White against Black” rally. It isn’t a Left against Right rally. It is a “right against wrong” rally and Beck has the support of some of MLK Jr’s relatives.



But some people do not see it that way.

Some people see this as a racist White guy, who hates the first Black President, having a “Klan” rally at the sight of MLK’s famous speech.

You and I know that isn’t true, but out of respect, should Glenn Beck have picked a different day for his 8/28 project..??

Should Muslims pick a different spot to build a Mosque instead of ground zero..??

These are tough questions to answer in a free country.

Legally, both have every right to do what they are doing.

Out of respect for all people, each should probably have changed their projects a little.

The ONLY way you can have tolerance is if both sides have equal respect for each other. If one side has no respect for others, any tolerance will be short lived.

I do not believe that Muslim leaders have respect for America and our ways. Placing a Mosque this close to ground zero furthers my belief that they do not respect us.

Without mutual respect, our tolerance will only go so far.

I am totally against placing this Mosque near ground zero. I show no tolerance to someone who doesn’t respect me.

I am not alone.

60% of Americans do not like this location for a Mosque. (This would include democrats like Howard Dean and Harry Reid.) New York City construction workers are vowing to stop any construction, if this Mosque is to be built here.



In a perfect world, NYC would have been manned by good politicians who would have given this Mosque more thought before giving it the green light. That is why local elections are so important. Bloomberg is a republican, which means that voting for a person who has an “R” next to their name will not guaranty great conservative public service. (Many progressives are finding this out too, when democrat Press Secretary Gibbs told many on the left that they should have a urine test, for speaking out against Obama’s choices.)



Also in a perfect world, even if this Mosque gets built, it will sit mostly empty.

It will sit empty because American Muslims will not like what it stands for. Moderate Muslims will see the symbolism of this Mosque, and out of respect for those who died on that day, they will not patronize this Mosque and it will fail. The Mosque will close, or be sold.

This would be a even bigger symbol, and send an even more powerful message, than stopping the construction of the Mosque in the first place.

The fact that America was tolerant enough to allow this Mosque to be built near ground zero, yet the Mosque closed in several years because people had respect for each other, and didn’t like what the Mosque stood for, and they didn’t go there.

The care and feeding of a cracker baby

The care and feeding of a cracker baby



The other day, I was heading through a shopping center and I noticed a White man with a White woman and they had a Black child. They looked like a happy family and were looking through the toy section, when the Black child said: “Dad, can we get this for the swimming pool”, he was pointing to some kind of floating pool toy.

This scene didn’t cause me to take a second look because I see this type of family pairing all the time. Hell, Hollywood even made a movie about this situation called: “The Blind Side.”

However, this particular day, I happened to see two more families at the shopping center; each family had a White mother and a White father, a few White children, and one or two Black children.

This lead me to think, (in the bizarre way that I view the world)...

I do not believe that I have EVER seen a Black man and a Black woman with a White child..??



Now, I am not talking about an interracial couple, where Black and a White people pair up and have babies. No, I am talking about a pure Black man and Black woman adopting a White child. I do not believe that I have ever seen that. (I am sure that it has happened, but I have never witnessed it.)

So, to test this theory out, I went through sections of Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and guess what...

I did not see a Black family with any White children.

Enter into my story, The New Black Panther “foot soldier”- King Samir Shabazz.



King Samir doesn’t seem to like White people. (Or little White cracker babies.)



King Samir, of The New Black Panther Party, (I think I liked the “Old Black Panther party” better), King Samir said that Black people have to stop begging White people for freedom. King Samir said that you may have to: “Kill some crackers, and kill their babies too.”

Who would want to kill little cracker babies..??

When I first heard King Samir, I had to laugh. “Who the hell dresses like that today and uses the word: Cracker..??”

I mean really, it is like this guy was asleep (or on crack) for the past 40 years, woke up in the same clothes, and started talking about killing cracker babies.



(Kind of like that Austin Powers movie where comedian Mike Myers awakes from a 40 year sleep, to walk around a modern world saying things like: “Groovy baby, do I make you horney?”) The only difference here is that King Samir isn’t looking to “shag” some chick, he wants to kill little cracker babies.

So, I got to thinking, (as I usually do) that I have never seen a Black family with little White cracker babies. And King Samir wants to KILL cracker babies...

Is it possible that people like King Samir do not know how to CARE for a little White cracker baby..??

Could that be the reason..??

Well, we can easily solve that, with...

The Angry Republic’s guide to the proper care and feeding of a White Cracker Baby



(One) White cracker babies do NOT, from birth, know how to dance.

You cannot just throw a White cracker baby into the funk. (They may break a hip.) Do not start this little cracker on Jay-Z or 50 Cent, do it slowly with some Lady Gaga, or Britney. (NOTE- you can feed the cracker baby Lady Gaga’s music through headphones, so none of your neighbors think that YOU listen to the GAGA.)



(Two) Cracker babies are not “street smart”.

Cracker babies are more apt to have lunch money taken from them. Cracker babies will not be able to eat, they will get skinny like Lindsay Lohan, and die. Try hiding the lunch money on the cracker baby, then tell the cracker where the money is, later on.



(Three) food

Cracker babies eat about the same things as any other baby would. However, cracker babies can gravitate towards expensive food items like- veal. Just smack that little cracker on the head and say: “Get away from there, fool.”

(Four) Whiteness

Because of their- Whiteness; cracker babies can over-compensate for that “Whiteness” by trying to talk VERY Black. (Example- Eminem).

If your little cracker baby starts talking excessively “Black”, just slap that little cracker in the head and say: “Shut up, fool.”



The benefits of having a cracker baby.

Beyond the obvious fun of watching a little White cracker baby trying to dance, pick up women, or survive in the neighborhood without getting his ass beat up every single day; having a White cracker baby can be beneficial.

College- Getting that little cracker into college should be a breeze- that cracker can take advantage of special minority programs, or the United Negro College...

Oh, wait, that cracker is White. OK, forget about college.

Maybe that cracker will excel in sports. (Or maybe not.)

OK, maybe there is no special benefit in having a cracker baby. However, why would a Black man want to kill cracker babies?



I know that I have said this a dozen times but, I really thought that the election of Barack Obama would put all of this racism behind us.



President Obama could bring this country together, if he wanted to, with several good speeches and some positive action.



I wonder why he hasn’t done it..??

It is Ladies Night- I am NOT sure what makes this thing stands up

It is Ladies Night- I am NOT sure what makes this thing stands up



All across America, women are winning primary elections.

Which begs the questions...

Are Americans REALLY mad at democrats as a whole, or republicans in general?

Are Americans mad at White people, or Black people?

What if Americans are just plain mad at men..??

After all, we are just a collection of “angry men” looking for some “ass to kick.”



There seems to be an energy surrounding the American woman this election, an energy that I have not seen before. A confidence, of something bigger.



Women are taking over.

Women are able to speak out like never before.

Take Helen Thomas, for example...

(It was like it was yesterday) The picture is burned into my brain: President Obama was sitting there with his plate full of cupcakes, his arm was swung firmly around Helen Thomas; Ms. Thomas was giddy like a school girl. (A 89 year old school girl.)



But those were the “old days”, when women had to take a back-seat to men.

Today, Helen Thomas is able to say anything. Why, she is even able to tell a race of people to “go back to where they came from.”



I have always had a respect for elders. I believe that “LIFE” is the best teacher. When you reach the age of 80 years old, you should be able to say whatever the hell you want to say; just for the fact that you have survived- life.

But, that doesn’t mean that we have to listen to you. (And, we will not have to listen to Helen Thomas anymore because she is being dropped from- everything.)

Sure, it was fun for democrats to watch Helen Thomas badger republicans presidents, and to see her giggle while being photographed with democrat President’s Carter, Clinton, and Obama. But, at some point you had to think- “Gee, she isn’t being very objective, is she..??”

I have never understood racism. How can a person resent the State of Israel, and want Jews to “go back to where they came from”, yet claim that I, (a White conservative) am a racist because I do not care for President Obama’s political direction..??

Helen Thomas, are you going to go back to where you came from..?? Are you going to give your land back to a Native American..??

For right or for wrong, a collection of world nations (including America) believed that the Jewish people deserved a state of their own, after the World Wars. They picked the region of Jerusalem.

To pick out the Palestinians as the rightful “owners” of Jerusalem is insane and bias to the tenth power. Why not give Jerusalem back to the Italians? The Roman Empire ruled that region at one time. Or why not give Jerusalem back to the Jews because they ruled that land before the Romans?

I have said this dozens of times, and it cannot be said enough: No race of people currently live where they originally lived tens of thousands of years ago. We all wondered from somewhere else. (Yes, I am including the Native Americans and the Palestinians.) With that said, no race of people has the moral superiority to say that another group of people should “go back to where they came from.” We all came from somewhere else and took land from someone or something else, (either through war or barter.)

Hey, Helen Thomas has the right to say this stuff, however; with free speech comes the responsibility of dealing with a backlash from the things that you have said. Helen Thomas and Dan Rather are finding this out. After a lifetime of being famous as “reporters”, they will spend their remaining days on earth in some-what exclusion, with no one asking: “what do you think about this big news story”, or “what is your opinion on that?”

As Helen Thomas’ star falls, women in politics are rising up around the country this election season.

So I wanted to share a story that women will appreciate, (men will too.)

Some of you probably know, (because I have said before) that my girlfriend works with “troubled kids.” Meaning- some the kids have problems, however- mostly they come from parents who have never grown up. (The parents want to guzzle booze, down tons of drugs, and live like they are still single; which creates the “troubled kids”.)

One of my girlfriends kids is an 11 year old boy and it was time for his class to have SEX education.

(SEX education..?? At 11 years old..??)

The class was divided into male and female groups and they were brought into separate rooms. The kids were nervous and lined up like they were heading for a boot camp. My girlfriend did not attend the class because her client was a male, and they wanted no females in the male class.

After the sex class, my girlfriend’s kid looked puzzled and he had a bag filled with under arm deodorant and a sex book.

Now I have to ask women out there in “blog land”...

If you were at a nightclub, would you be attracted to a man who was carrying a plastic bag filled with under arm deodorant and a sex book..??

OK- forget that, back to the story.

My girlfriend’s kid looked confused, so my girlfriend asked: “How did it go in there?”

The 11 year old boy said: “Well, there are some things that I am confused about, but I was afraid to ask because the other boys might make fun of me.” My girlfriend, not wanting to get involved in a “sex” conversation with an 11 year old boy, said: “Well, maybe you and your father can talk about this stuff.”

However, the kid trusts my girlfriend and he blurted out: “I do not understand the vagina, but I think that I will let the girls deal with that.”

My girlfriend was trying not to laugh and was caught off-guard by his second question: “Also, I am not sure what makes it stand up?”

My girlfriend was trying to stay away from this 11 year old boy’s sexual education, but she wasn’t clear about what the kid was saying, so she asked: “What stands up?”

The boy replied: “The penis, I do not understand what makes the penis stand up?”

Stunned, my girlfriend said: “Oh, aahh; well this is another question that you and your father can talk about.”

To which, the boy proclaimed: “I bet it has something to do with the hair. Guys have hair down there, you know.”

OK, I can testify in a court of law, under oath, that this 11 year old boy was NOT thinking about SEX, before this class took place.

Like other 11 year old boys, he was thinking about pure things, like: “Death Rays that could kill alien bug creatures on the evil planet Nebulon”, or about how fast he could make a riding mower go before it flips over?



Or, what would the movie “Bambi” look like if Director: James Cameran (Avatar) directed it?



11 year old kids were thinking about stuff like this before the SEX education class.

Now he, and other 11 year olds, are thinking about penis and vaginas.

Are we reaching a little too far here..??

I understand the importance of an education, but teaching 11 years olds about sex..??

Because of pier pressure, most of these kids were afraid to ask questions, so most of them are confused in what the teachers were trying to say. “They are MORE screwed up than before..!!”

Wouldn’t it be better to take kids away from BIG groups, council them without other kids around, and gauge where their “sex education” stands? You could correct misinformation without pushing a kid further into “sex” than you have to.

I mean, how many of these kids are now curious about seeing an actual penis or vagina, when before this sex education class- they were never thinking about such things?

This whole situation makes me feel uneasy.

So, all these women who are winning these primary elections this year will have BIG problems to solve:

They will have to secure the economy

They will have to deal with the Israeli and Palestinian problem

They will have to deal with the US and Mexico border

They will have to deal with the BP oil spill

And, there is an 11 year old boy in Pennsylvania, who was thinking about football until his group sexual education class; now he wants to know what makes it “stand up?”

Are you women in politics ready for this..??

(I hope you women are because I am taking off and going fishing.)

Did you plug the hole, Daddy- The fall of an American President

Did you plug the hole, Daddy- The fall of an American President



It wasn’t that long ago that everything looked GREAT and wonderful at the White House.



(That happened to be the week that President Bush had left the White House and President Obama hadn’t moved in yet.) The White House was filled with people cleaning and fixing the place up. You know, the White House was filled with average people getting things done.

While looking at this week’s news headlines, I realized that I was witnessing the death of something.

The political death of an American president.



I hate to see the office of the president taking such a hard hit. (I know that you probably think I am joking here, being that I am a conservative, but I really do hate to see it.) When a president falls, it can taint a generation of Americans into losing respect for their government.

We need to look no further back in time then President Nixon for proof of this.

Nixon came into office with “a plan” to end the war in Vietnam. Americans saw Nixon signing into law OSHA and the EPA. Nixon open the door to conversations with China, a country that we knew little about and had great suspicions about. Gee, aren’t we glad that Nixon “opened that door to China..??” China received our jobs, and we get cheap plastic consumers products. (Chinese products like a rubber chicken that screams when you squeeze it.)



Yet, all was NOT right with the “world of Nixon.” The war in Vietnam was NOT winding down, and in fact: was being expanded. Young Americans became worried that their government could be spying on them: IE- John Lennon, Abby Hoffman, etc.

And, if you add a little scandal called: “Watergate”, you have just created a generation of Americans who will never trust their government again.

I am not trying to say that President Obama is becoming “Nixon-like” with the way that current events are unfolding. However, you cannot deny that when Arianna Huffington, Chris Matthews, Bill Maher, Peggy Noonan, James Carville, Rep Alan Grayson, Jon Stewart, (I could go on listing former Obama supporters who are now speaking out, but why?) when people like these folks begin to speak out against President Obama’s actions, (or inactions), something has gone terribly wrong.

http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/29/noonan-where-is-the-competence/

http://hotair.com/archives/2010/05/29/rush-is-right-says-chris-matthews/

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/sunday-roundup_b_593433.html

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2010/05/29/maher_obama_not_acting_like_a_real_black_president.html

Losing support from people who used to get tingles running up their legs when Obama spoke is bad enough. But when you add a little scandal like “Sestak-gate” into the mix, history could be repeating itself again.

Offering a job to Sestak to get out of the Pennsylvania Senate race against Arlen Sepcter will never amount to a crime like the Watergate break-in. (Or even listed as a crime.)

However, the cover up of this whole event could become Obama’s Watergate.

And now we have this latest Israeli / Palestinian conflict...

Does it seem to you that the Obama administration jumped quickly in condemning Israel before really looking at all the facts?

With this blockade of the Gaza Strip by Israel being challenged by Palestinian activists, I am seeing a totally different picture here. All countries have placed blockades at one time or another. America placed a blockade on Cuba to stop Russian missiles from coming into Cuba.

A blockade means nothing if you do not enforce it. Which, is what Israel did here.

To me, there is no gray area here. However, I am bias with this topic. I have always thought that radical Islam is on a highway to hell. Why would anyone join them, or defend radical members of Islam?



From here on out, the road forward for President Obama is not very easy.



If you are a liberal, I have to ask: what was it that changed your mind about President Obama?

Barack’s claim to close Gitmo and end both wars, yet we are building up the war in Afghanistan and now (maybe) entering Pakistan.

The fact that we have one of the largest environmental disasters in our lifetime (the BP oil spill) and President Obama seems “uninterested” in it.

President Obama promised a “change” in Washington. Yet, you see just as many back-room deals, dirty politics, and cronyism as before.

You thought Obama might fight for the “little guy”, yet the rich keep getting richer (and are receiving government bail-outs), while your life gets tougher.

Maybe it was a little of everything that changed your mind about President Obama.



A friend of mind, who we will call: a moderate; (she believed that we needed to go after terrorists, so she voted for Bush over Kerry in 2004. Yet, she felt that Bush handled hurricane Katrina badly and caused the financial crisis so she voted for “change” with Obama in 2008. Yet, she now has second thoughts about Obama...) My moderate friend asked me a question the other day:

“..Doesn’t it seem like Obama isn’t really interested in a second term as president? It is like his goal was to BE president, but beyond that, he doesn’t really seem to care..??”

Hearing my friend’s question, I quickly dismissed it; (after all, I run a political blog site. I study politics and history. I’m the pro at this stuff. She watches a couple of hours of cable news each week, what does she know..??)

So I corrected her:

“..President Obama has one of the biggest egos of any person we have ever had as president, of course he wants to keep winning. Just look at his face whenever someone confronts him. The expression on his face is telling: “How dare you question me..” is the look I see from Obama..”

I continued: “..The problem is, Obama lacks experience. He doesn’t know what to do. Obama has never run anything in his life. He is a great speaker, but it has always been “other people” running things while Obama was out “talking” about it. Today, people want answers and Obama doesn’t have those answers. He doesn’t know what to do about the economy, jobs, the wars, the BP oil spill..”

Hearing this, my friend look down at the floor and responded: “..Well, Obama seems like an intelligent man. He just doesn’t seem to care about winning a second term..”

Her response caused me to rethink my position. Could I be wrong..??

Did HELL freeze over..??



Then, I realized something that we both had forgotten:

Barack Obama has never finished- anything.

(Think about that for a minute.) LOOK AT HIS LIFE. Barack Obama never sticks with anything, very long.

Sure, Obama did complete his education. Most of us do complete our education. It is only a small minority of people who “drop- out” of school, college, etc.

Beyond schooling, Obama seems to get bored with whatever it is that he is doing. He looks to move on to the next goal. Obama was a lawyer for a while, but he got tired of that. So he went into community organization and he lectured at college, but that wasn’t good enough. Obama wrote a couple of books, but today he shows no interest in writing. Then he moved into State politics but left that to run for the US Senate. Which, he got bored with and ran for president.

Today, it almost seems like Obama is bored with this whole “president” stuff

Maybe my friend is correct..??

Maybe Obama is bored with being president and he is searching for his next “job.”

What would be the next goal for a man like Obama..??

President of the United Nations? No, that would be a step down, in my opinion.

Ruler of the world..?? Not likely. Obama is not “loved” in other parts of the world and some people are throwing shoes at his picture.



Maybe Obama could be “Master of the Universe.”

Hey, the universe is a big place, that would be a really BIG goal. No one has ever been “Master of the Universe” before.

However, I hear that some aliens still favor President Bush.

The Supreme Court was lacking a vagina

The Supreme Court was lacking a vagina





With the summer weather arriving, I have been away from the blogs for some time. The last time I wrote anything was for Earth Day, (and I cheated by using sections of my old material.) After being stuck indoors for much of 4 months during the winter, it is great to get out and do some stuff.

But, we have bad weather hitting the area this week, so here I am; back inside the house.

So much has happened since my last blog: The BP oil spill, the Times Square bomber, the new Arizona law, the floods near Nashville; and I did not know that you cannot wear red, white, and blue during Cinco de Mayo. I had never heard that before. I know that women are not supposed to wear white before Easter, but I had never heard anything about a new rule of not wearing the American colors during Cinco de Mayo.

But that is progress. Being progressive means that things change so FAST that you do not even know that the rules have change, until you are arrested for breaking that new rule.

But take heart my friends, we are all in this together because we are all- Americans. (Well, except if you are from Italy, or Germany, or some Asian country. You poor bastards will have to follow the laws of the land, or end up in jail. However, if you are of Hispanic descent; you don’t have to worry about our silly little laws, do as you please.)

Yet, there is news that should make everyone happy...



President Obama has picked a new Supreme Court nominee to replace a tired old White guy. Obama picked the current US Solicitor General- Elena Kagan.

You ask- what are Elena Kagan’s qualifications for being America’s TOP judge:

Kagan has been a judge for many years? (No, she has never tried a case.)

Kagan has been a lawyer for many years? (No, she has never tried a case.)

Kagan has walked into a room filled with REAL judges and handed them information about current legal cases? (Yes, that is her current job.)

Kagan went to college? (Yes, a whole bunch of colleges, BIG colleges that have $$$ signs in their names.)

Kagan did work with TOP judge Thurgood Marshall, who called Kagan- “Shorty.” (Not to be confused with “Shawty”- which means- “good looking girl.”) However, the word “Shorty” could also mean- “good looking girl.”



However, this was the 1970's and Thurgood Marshall probably meant that she was not tall.



One of Kagan’s main qualifiers to be a Supreme Court Justice is that she personally knows Barack Obama. Which is bonus if you want to be America’s TOP judge and you have never been a judge before, or even tried a case.

But by far, the main reason Kagan will be our next TOP judge is because the Supreme Court has it’s quota of testicles.

Now, when I was a young man, we were taught to not look at a persons skin color or gender, when judging a person. You should judge a person by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin (or gender.)

Today, we pick a Supreme Court nominee like you would pick a puppy. First you look at their color, then you pick them up, flip them over on their backs, and look between their legs.

I have no problem in nominating another woman to the Supreme Court, have at it. But shouldn’t this person be the BEST person for the job, regardless of what is between their legs, or the color of their skin?

Soon, you could hear a knock at your door from a friendly Census worker. Most of the 635,000 Census workers are great people, they are your friends and neighbors. However, a few Census workers are evil. A woman in Indiana was raped by a census worker, and a family in Texas was held hostage for 4 hours by 3 guys who said that they worked for the census. The ordeal ended with one family member being killed by the 3 “so-called” census workers.

The Obama administration has come up with a way to make this census visit safer:

All Census workers will be wearing a blue badge: (which would be impossible for a crook to copy.)

All official Census workers will have a black bag with the words: “US Census Worker” written in white ink on the front. (Again, impossible for a crook to duplicate, because bad people do not have the technology to copy this.)

All US Census Workers will carry “papers” on them. So you can ask the Census Worker for “their papers.” NOTE- if the Census Worker looks Hispanic, you might not want to ask them for “their papers”. (It’s a sore spot right now with Hispanics, liberals, and progressives.)

And, all official US Census Workers will only ask these questions:

Question 1- How many people live here? (1) (2) (3) (50) (not sure, what day is it?) (No one)

Question 2- What is the color of your skin: (White), (off-White), (Lilly White), (Dark), (Hispanic)- NOTE- if you are Hispanic you do not have to answer this question. You do not have to be counted like the rest of us. And you can tell the census worker to go away, if you like.

Question 3- Why is President Obama so great? (Answers) Because he went to college, Because he can speak in full sentences, Because of his audacity; (Audacity- Obama’s ability to let OTHER PEOPLE take huge risks, while he talks about it).

Question 4- what color is your underwear.



Question 5- List 3 reasons why you WILL vote for Barack Obama again.

If a person shows up at your door and they DO NOT have a black bag, a blue badge, and they ask any other questions than the ones listed above, be cautious.

GOOD NEWS- the government has passed the “Cash for Cockers” program. Similar to the “cash for clunkers” program for trading in old cars, “cash for cockers” allows you to bring in an old cocker spaniel dog that eats too much food and is gassy, and trade that dog in for a new puppy. (Unless “cash for cockers” has some kind of pornographic meaning that I am not aware of..??)

Oh..wait.. I have that wrong. It is- “cash for caulkers.” The US government has set aside 6 billion dollars so you can go out and buy a $4 dollar tube of caulking and put it around your windows. ($6 billion dollars worth of caulking, about the same amount of money that we bitched, pissed, and moaned about because we are sending that amount to help save the country of Greece.)

However, the 6 billion dollars is not just for caulking, (which would make 3m, GE, and other BIG companies very happy) “cash for caulkers” also allows you to take your perfectly good water heater and toss it out to the curb and buy another NEW water heater. (Maybe we should box up our old water heaters and send them to Greece. We could kill 2 birds with one stone.)

Speaking of killing birds...



The BP oil spill is- what it is: a tragedy. No one wants to see birds covered in oil, struggling to survive. Seems to me, we need to fix what went wrong here, but the pundits are blaming each other.

Progressives blame BP and the oil industry in general. (They do not blame themselves for using oil based products, nor are they willing to conserve oil based products on their own, using their own “free” will. They want the government to FORCE restrictions on all of us, like some S & M bondage type thing.)



Republicans blame a slow response by the Obama Administration. (Yet, republicans still say that they want less government involvement in our lives and business.)

Hey, I can understand the “blame game”, I really can. Republicans are pissed because the liberals blamed a slow response by President Bush to Hurricane Katrina and the amount of destruction there, so why not blame President Obama for this?

I can also understand why environmentalists and progressive would take advantage of this situation and claim that the BP oil spill is PROOF that we need Cap and Trade laws, no off-shore drilling, Green jobs, etc.

However, playing the blame game is for political purpose. It is taking a tragedy and using it for political gain. But that will not fix the problem.

What really went wrong...

You mean to tell me that an oil rig only has one or two ways to shut down the flow of oil in an emergency..?? You got to be freaking kidding me..??

I mean, I am no mechanical engineer, but come on..??

Let me put this into perspective...

A restaurant electric french fryer has about 4 ways to shut it down in an emergency. If the food deep fryer blows up or catches fire, you could shut it down at the power switch, OR- run to the electrical panel box and shut the breaker off, OR- the fryer has a mechanical switch that will shut itself off if the fryer get too hot, OR- hanging above the fryer is a fire suppression system that will spray a fire retardant unto the fryer if it gets too hot.

That is a stupid french fry cooker in a restaurant, and it has 4 ways to shut it down for safety. Yet, an oil rig only has 1 or 2 ways to shut down the flow of oil..??



Seriously, the Obama Administration needs to get on this right now. All future oil rigs, (and if possible: all existing rigs) should have a type of “flow restrictor / high volume shut off” on them. If the flow of oil becomes too great, the flow restrictor shuts down the pipe and must be reset by robotic sub. This “flow restrictor / high volume shut off” MUST be mechanical, it cannot rely on electricity. (Because, if the oil rig blows up, you will lose electricity.)

We have to fix what went wrong instead of blaming each other.

Our economy is based on oil. Like it or not, for better or worse; oil is the “engine” that drives our progress. From the cars that we drive, to the oil that is used to make the plastic parts in our computers; oil is everywhere.

The Angry Republic has always been an advocate for America to break away from relying on foreign oil supplies. To us, it has always been a matter of national security. It is dangerous to rely on others for your basic needs.

If becoming energy independent means adding windmills and solar panels to the American power system, so be it. But we are realistic enough to understand that you cannot replace oil, as the American engine, over night. Until a new source is found that delivers the power and the low cost that oil provides, we must utilize the oil that we have in America.



Today, that means building a safer oil rig, while exploring bio- fuels, wind mills, and solar panels.

SHOCKER- MSNBC reports- POLL, most Americans support oil drilling and the Arizona law. (The “shocker” part is the fact that MSNBC reported this.)

Hey, I just saw a documentary that claimed that the Moon has enough hydrogen to solve all of our energy problems. One shuttle- load of the Moon’s hydrogen could power New York City for one year.

Oh crap, that’s right...

We decided to drop the US shuttle program and scrap going back to the moon.

Oh well, you will have to excuse me. I need to cash in on the 6 billion dollar “cash for caulkers” program.

I need to find a good salesperson to sell me my caulk.

I think I will use the same method that we use to pick a Supreme Court Justice: I will first look at their skin color; then I will put the salesperson on their back and look between their legs.
