...and this time, it's whole damned thing!!!

The full text of the decision from Federal Judge Roger Vinson is not available yet, but according to reporters who've seen the decision, he's ruled the entire Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. The ruling favors of the 26 state attorney generals challenging the law. The judge ruled the individual mandate that requires all Americans to purchase health insurance invalid and, according to the decision, "because the individual mandate is unconstitutional and not severable, the entire Act must be declared void."

This ruling is even more significant than last month's ruling against Obamacare in Federal Court in Richmond, Virgina. This time, half of the entire country was represented in this suit, and also, the whole law has been found unconstitutional!!! Ultimately, the Supreme Court will likely have the final word on this piece of crap legislation, but so far, chances of it being relegated to the dust bin of history are looking very good!!!

***Keep paying, folks! It ain't over yet!***

Why are we still dependant on foreign oil?

With oil futures prepared to exceed $100 per barrel because of political upheaval in Egypt, why is it that the Obama administration and his bureaucrat brown-shirts in the EPA are continuing to stand on the necks of domestic oil producers here in the United States? Sharp rises in cost at the gas pump in an economy already gripped with inflation is a recipe for disaster. Seriously folks, WTF are we doing, still depending on foreign sources of oil? Why are we continuing to line the pockets of nations who are not friendly to us in order to buy THEIR resources? None of this makes any sense. If shit REALLY hits the fan in Egypt and the Suez Canal oil shipments are disrupted, how long will it be before the United States uses military intervention to correct that problem? I thought the leftists in this country (now in control of the federal government) were dead-set against spilling blood for oil.

Like it or not, in order to secure our country's economic future and pay off our MASSIVE debt, we need to have abundant, inexpensive energy to increase our GDP. At present, oil and coal are our most abundant natural resource for producing energy. Alternative energy sources are not able to meet that demand, sufficiently. Since global warming is proving to be nothing but a crock of shit, there are only two other reasons I can think of for developing alternative sources of energy: First, to improve air quality in urban areas, and secondly, because we are still unsure of how much oil and coal we'll have left. Alternative energy technology is making advancements, but not nearly fast enough for it to be cost effective. In the mean time, we NEED to have less restricted access to our own carbon based fuels to produce cheap energy. That would go a long way toward reducing inflation and boosting our economic output.

And for those of you who were starting to doubt the existence of a merciful, righteous and just God...

Keith Olbermann -- Fired By MSNBC
1/21/2011 8:45 PM PST by TMZ Staff

Keith Olbermann was fired by MSNBC sources tell TMZ, and we're told it had everything to do with Comcast's acquisition of NBC.

Sources connected with the network tell us ... Comcast honchos did not like Keith's defiance and the way he played in the sandbox.

Our sources say Keith has around two years left on his contract, and he'll be paid his salary -- around $7 million a year.

We don't know if Comcast will let Keith make a deal with another network as part of an exit agreement, but it's a good bet he'll be benched for a minimum of 6 months, and probably longer.

Good riddance, but I have to wonder, with their chief asshat no longer present to make Liberals look even more ignorant and bat-shit insane than they already are, one would think that the station's ratings might finally start going up. I mean, since MSNBC gets the best ratings of all Liberal MSM news outlets, where, oh where will all the modern Marxist revolutionaries go now for their daily dose of leftist vitriol?

Moral of the story: Don't Be Out Foxed

Now, you all who know me, know that I'm a proud member of PETA (People who Eat Tasty Animals), but I must admit, there's something both inherently comical and educational about the outcome of this particular story...

Fox shoots man
– Thu Jan 13, 2:50 pm ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) – A wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun as the pair scuffled after the man tried to finish the animal off with the butt of the rifle, media said Thursday.

The unnamed hunter, who had approached the fox after wounding it from a distance, was in hospital with a leg wound, while the fox made its escape, media said, citing prosecutors from the Grodno region.

"The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw," one prosecutor was quoted as saying...

*snip*

FWIW, this story leads me to draw parallels between the wounded fox and what we need to do en mass, as constitutionally protected citizens of the United States of America, in order to survive the current circumstance which has been thrust upon us, in that, unless we get up and fight back against the aggression demonstrated by those who would enslave us - i.e. politicians attempting to make the case for more restrictive gun legislation following the Tuscon massacre - we might, just as well, expect to be as livestock led to slaughter.

Gun-Control Opportunists

One of the tragedies of tragedies is that some politicians just can't resist the urge to use them for political gain. The Tucson shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords first inspired liberals to score points against the tea party and is now inspiring a new round of political calls for gun control.

Within days of the Arizona tragedy, New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy renewed her call for a ban on high-capacity clips and said she'll reintroduce legislation. She's been joined by fellow New York Rep. Peter King, one of the only outspoken Republicans on gun control, who said he wants a new law that would make it a crime to knowingly carry firearms within 1,000 feet of high-ranking officials (which conveniently includes congressmen.) In the Senate, New Jersey Democrat Frank Lautenberg intends to pursue parallel legislation to Ms. McCarthy's on clips that carry more than 10 rounds of ammunition. And New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has piped up, again, in favor of expanding the sort of burdensome restrictions his city places on the Second Amendment to the nation as a whole.

*snip*

While this is NOT BY ANY MEANS a call to arms for violent overthrow of the government, THIS IS a call to self defense and the preservation of our liberties. As human beings and United States citizens, we have a God given right speak out critically against our tyrannical government as it states in the 1st amendment of our U.S. Constitution, to be secure in our persons, houses, papers, and effects as outlined in the 4th Amendment, and excercise the means by which to secure these liberties as provided for us in the 2nd Amendment. With the present rapid decline in freedom across the world and the possibility of our country being controlled by progressives and socialists for the next six years, how much longer do you think we have before we too find ourselves completely enslaved at gunpoint by a totalitarian kleptocracy.

Political Opportunism Gone Insane

First off, I don't want to spend much time on this issue as it is quickly becoming clear to most people that the far left are once again circling the wagons in an attempt to blame conservative politics for yet ANOTHER mass murder committed by one of their own. SSDD. To think that twenty years ago, this very tactic would have likely been quite successful. Within a week after the shooting, liberal propaganda, disseminated by lap-dogs in print and television media would have hypnotized the entire world into believing that Rush Limbaugh and his big fat mouth were chiefly responsible for inciting such horrible violence against a newly re-elected Democrat Congresswoman.

Today, we live in a very different world. With help from the internet, the rise in popularity of talk radio, and FOX News, people no longer are restricted to getting information from leftist college professors, leftist newspapers and periodicals, and leftist television and radio broadcast media. More importantly, the internet enables us to do our own research on past events, quotations, and public records. Because of this powerful resource, we are able to cross-check various claims made by educators, journalists and politicians, and verify their truthfulness or the lack there of.

I find it extremely unfortunate that so many, determined to protect their political ideology, would steep so low as to take a horrible event such as the Tuscon massacre and attempt to use it for their political advantage. It's bad enough that this should be a time for mourning and a time for allowing investigators to collect evidence and properly establish modus operandi; but when journalists, pundits and politicians on the far left waste no time laying blame at the feet of those engaged in CIVIL political discourse while solid, overwhelming evidence is emerging and showing that, in fact, the gunman's political leanings are much more closely in line with that of the far left, it only goes to show how spiteful and arrogant the left has truly become.

First order of business...

Let's play a nice game of...

*rollover fun*

WACK-A-MOLE!!!

...and you thought the Mafia were crooks?

This video, posted by my Conservative Facebook friend, Ryan D. Hatch, lays out an explanation of the Federal Reserve Bank, its function, its history, and its relentless strangle-hold on individual freedom in the most straight-forward and easy to understand terms possible. This is NOT right wing propaganda, but Factual Economic History 101. Every child should be taught this material in school and know it as a requirement for graduation.

Religion of Peace Strikes Again...

Anyone who claims that the Global War On Terror (GWOT) - renamed to 'overseas contingency operations' shortly after Obama took office in 2009 - is not a religious war, has their head buried so far up their ass that they are unable to see the road ahead of us which we have been forced to drive on, unable to effectively prosecute this conflict, and therefore, unable to protect this country, its people or its freedoms. End of discussion.

New Year -> New Beginnings

Even though 2010 was an economic disaster for many of us - myself included, I must admit, as a whole, 2010 turned out to be a better year than 2009. Allow me to explain... First and foremost, I saw my countrymen rise up in defiance of radical leftist progressivism, retake a significant number of local government seats of power, retake the U.S. House of Representatives and made huge advances in balancing the power in the U.S. Senate. Hopefully in two tears, this momentum will continue and put our country on a much more solid footing, allowing the return of constitutional government.

On a more personal level, I was finally able to quit smoking after 30 years! I tried to quit by way of the nicotine patches, but after 3 days, I realized that I was able to do it without them and fought through it the rest of the way with regular chewing gum to satisfy my oral fixation. Bottom line is that it worked for me and I am happy to say that I'm free at last! Thank you God for the strength and will-power I needed to escape that bondage.

Even though I consider myself free from that addiction, I was only able to do so by treating my recovery in much the same way an alcoholic stays off the sauce. There really is little difference in the actual addiction. After 7 months, I still occasionally think about cigarettes, but as time goes by, I am able to work through those moments of weakness. I must admit that on three occasions since, I have "lit up." Although they were definitely moments of weakness, I would hardly compare it to falling off the wagon. Once was with my wife, once was with an old friend who was in town from Florida, and more recently, New Years Eve. On New Years Eve, in celebration of the holiday, I smoked a cigarillo (small cigar) dipped in rum. It was a nice indulgence and I was able to leave it at that. After the fact, I am happy to report, that I have no desire to return to that life of bondage.

Looking ahead, I sort-of made it a New Years resolution to start loosing weight and get back into shape. While I don't expect to return to the shape I was in 1988, I do want to be able to fit into some of my old clothes and have more energy to play with my kids. If my efforts begin to produce positive results, perhaps I will be able to go all the way. Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, I don't want to be part of the statistic used to measure the number of people who give up on their New Years resolutions after a couple of weeks. As mentioned before, with God's help, all things are possible.

In closing, I just want to wish all of you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
