I went on a short vacation to Niagara Falls with the Spousal unit and just came back in town, I will be catching up on my reading and posting a few pics from there. I saw this and figured it would make a "quickie post " until I can post more regular stuff.
THE FOLLOWING CARTOONS ARE INSPIRED BY THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY
This one by Chris Muir of DBD cartoons had the second one
before going with my standard Monday Music...actually published on Monday....for a change....Yay..go me:) I was listening to the news people on the local radio station and I heard that as part of the partial shutdown of the government, the park rangers( Man they are really getting around...From the WWII memorial, to the Vietnam memorial to Mount Rushmore...and other places.) They went to people that owned homes that they have long term leases( usually 99 years or something like that) and telling them that due to the government shutdown, they have 72 hours to vacate. even though they own the house, it is on federal land. Also they had the park services try to shut down Mount Vernon(President Washington's house) that is a private organization, but some of the access roads are on federal property.
This from Boortz:
I knew 0bama had a deep resentment toward America when he came here
in 1979 to enter Occidental College. Even so, I’m continually amazed at
how vindictive, arrogant, dishonest, narcissistic and thuggish this man
can be. Yes … I said thug. 0bama is to the presidency what Jimmy
Hoffa was to union leadership. I could never have guessed that
0bama would so brashly show his disdain for America’s veterans as he has
in the past week. The underlying psychology here is easy to understand
if you’ve studied 0bama’s upbringing and past. He was raised to
despise and resent America. His father and mother both hated this
country, as did his grandparents and most of the people who influenced
him right through college. To 0bama, America was a colonialist power
that brought oppression to his father’s African homeland. At Punahou
school in Hawaii he was taught that Hawaii was colonized by America … a
continuation of the mantra he heard throughout childhood. Now
0bama is showing his feelings toward veterans. After all, they fought
to preserve a country that he came here to destroy (just ask some of his
Occidental classmates.) So now he has a chance to show his lack of
respect for veterans … and he’s making the most of it.
Did you hear about Normandy? More American troops died in one day ..
the D-Day landings at Normandy, than in all of the Iraq war. Those who
survived that day are dying at a rate of 600 to 900 veterans a day.
Many of these men want to visit that beach – that invasion site – again,
before they die. 0bama actually ordered the beach, the cemetery and
the memorial at Normandy closed. These veterans spent their money to
get over to France to visit what they consider to be hallowed ground –
and their president, their Commander-in-Chief, had ordered the site
closed. That is vicious behavior … vicious, thuggish behavior. There’s more … more of the pettiness and vindictiveness of our wonderful Dear Ruler:
Around
the country there are people who live in their own private homes
which happened to be located on federal lands. They own these
homes on these plots of ground through contractural agreements
with the federal government. 0bama has ordered that these people
be denied access to their homes during the shutdown.
On the
state highways around the Mount Rushmore National Monument in
South Dakota you will find turnouts. These are places where
you can leave the highway and park to get a view of Mount Rushmore.
0bama has ordered the park service to close these turnoffs .. and
the orange cones went up. These are not federal roads .. they’re
state roads. But you can see Mount Rushmore, so these
turnoffs had to be closed. Until the state told them to back off.
You know what Amber alerts are,
don’t you? You can get alerts over radio, on your cell phone and
over the Internet about abducted minor children. Well …. Not
the Internet. That’s a federally operated website, so it has been
shut down. Is it possible that some abducted child will not be
found in time? Yeah .. it’s possible, but then again 0bama has
instructed that the shutdown be made to be as painful as possible.
What’s one child when it comes to 0bama’s power and agenda? But Michelle Obama "Move it" website that discusses nutrition in the schools stays open......
"Mr. Roboto" is a song written by Dennis DeYoung of the band Styx, and recorded on the Styx album Kilroy Was Here.
It was also released as a 45 RPM single in a 4:44 radio edit (available
on "Greatest Hits" released by PolyTel in Canada in 1992), with the
song "Snowblind" (from their previous album Paradise Theatre) as the B-side. In Canada, where they were generally more popular than in their native U.S., it went to #1 on the RPM national singles chart,[1] becoming their third single to top the charts in that country (following "Babe" in 1979-80 and "The Best of Times" in 1981).[citation needed] In the U.S., it reached #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.[citation needed]
The song's chorus features the line, "Dōmo arigatō, Mr. Roboto", which has become a catchphrase.
The Japanese lyrics at the beginning of the song are as follows:
どうもありがとうミスターロボット (dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto)
また会う日まで (mata au hi made)
どうもありがとうミスターロボット (dōmo arigatō misutā Robotto)
秘密を知りたい (himitsu wo shiritai)
The lyrics translate into English as follows:
Thank you very much, Mr. Robot
Until the day (we) meet again
Thank you very much, Mr. Robot
I want to know your secret
The song tells part of the story of Robert Orin Charles Kilroy (ROCK), in the rock operaKilroy Was Here. The song is performed by Kilroy (as played by keyboardist Dennis DeYoung),
a rock and roll performer who was placed in a futuristic prison for
"rock and roll misfits" by the anti-rock-and-roll group the Majority for
Musical Morality (MMM) and its founder Dr. Everett Righteous (played by
guitarist James Young). The Roboto is a model of robot
which does menial jobs in the prison. Kilroy escapes the prison by
overpowering a Roboto prison guard and hiding inside its emptied-out
metal shell. When Jonathan Chance finally meets Kilroy, at the very end
of the song, Kilroy unmasks and says, I'm Kilroy! Kilroy!, ending the song.
The robot-like catchphrase was created with a vocoder. The song heavily features the Oberheim OB-Xa and PPG Wave synthesizers. Stan Winston designed the Roboto costume and mask, which is displayed prominently on the cover of the album Kilroy Was Here. The track was released as the first single from the album at the last minute instead of "Don't Let It End" at the request of A&M Records.
The song's video, directed by Brian Gibson, depicts Jonathan Chance (played by guitarist Tommy Shaw)
walking in Rock Museum to meet Kilroy and a robot approaches. After
this, it morphs into five robots moving and dancing. Shortly thereafter,
the robots transform into the members of Styx and including a
clean-shaven Dennis DeYoung
(he shaved his trademark moustache off at the conclusion of the
Paradise Theater tour in 1982 and has remained clean-shaven to this
day). The video then alternates between the band playing the song on a
stage and scenes from the Kilroy Was Here backdrop film. Then,
the members of Styx morph back into the robots and DeYoung confronts the
robots, screaming in the ear of one of the robots before collapsing.
DeYoung awakens to see he is being experimented on and runs off. The
video cuts back to the ending of the first scene and Jonathan Chance
climbs on to the stage. Before the robot removes his mask to reveal
Kilroy, another shot of the robot with lights on is used to end the
clip.
I have seen stuff on the news where the state park people are putting up barriers to keep people lot of the open air parks, there is normally no barriers, but they are adding them during the shutdown...
That bothers me....These places are "open air" and somehow the government finds the time to "close" them and put barricades up because the petulant boy king is throwing a temper tantrum because he isn't getting his way and he and the democrats wants the " little people" to feel the pain. Now these places don't have barriers up normally....regular access and all that....but all of a sudden, there are barriers up? Wait a freaking minute...those clowns in DC work for US not the other way around. Now we also have places like "Grand Canyon and Rushmore offered to stay open through state money but the bureaucrats are saying "NO" they have their orders from "dear Leader" to make the hoi polli feel the pain because their betters in DC want to put the screws to us because they want an open checkbook to spend money we don't have so they can buy votes to stay in power. They say this is over "Obunglercare" Obunglercare is a sideshow...Dear Leader wants the debt limit raised.....again, nothing like going from 9 trillion dollars in 2008 to 18 trillion in 2013....nothing like doubling the debt...but who cares...the grandkids will pay it off.....maybe...but it don't matter as long as they stay in power they can keep hopping from turd to turd to keep their benefits and privelages while the rest of us have a decreased standard of living because the dollar is worth less and less.
The Obama administration has stopped white house tours to punish the little people so we cannot see " our house" but they have all the lobbyist and other democrat donors still have unfettered access to the Obungler white house......And nobody is screaming about this because the lamestream media is covering for that hack and his cronies in the whitehouse....now if that had been an republican whitehouse.....they would have been screaming bloody murder and demanding investigations...but since it is " their guy" they cover for him. objective news reporters...my ass. They are totally in the tank for this corrupt administration.
Of course, he’s aided and abetted by the LSM which is nothing more
than the propaganda wing of the Dimocrat Party. The so called
“journalists” are really nothing more than highly paid stenographers who
write down and then regurgitate the talking points fed to them by the
White House and the Dimocrats in Congress. All you have to do is listen
to what the Dimocrat leaders have to say. They use the same words and
they all call the Republicans the same names. “Terrorists” “Anarchists”
“Hostage takers” “Radicals” “Extremists” (So much for that “new tone”
and “civility” we were lectured about after the Giffords shooting. As
with all of the other stuff we’re lectured about by our betters, it only
applies to Republicans, Libertarians, and the Tea Party.) The members
of the LSM no longer report. They now propagandize. And then they have
the unmitigated gall to claim they have no liberal bias. Goebbels would
be proud. So would Lenin and Stalin.
And didja notice that Obeauzeau is willing to negotiate with our
enemies, the Iranians, but is not willing to negotiate with Republicans.
He and the rest of the Dimocrats are using names for Republicans that
apply more to the Iranians and al Qaeda than to Republicans. They’re
calling Republicans “terrorists”. In all of my years, I have never seen
the Dimocrat Party like this. And they have the unmitigated gall to
call conservatives “extremists”?
Where is the outrage? What is with the unmitigated gall of the President...You noticed that he only uses bad words to describe his political opponents...not the muslims that want to kill us, not to anybody else that wants to hurt us....but just his political opponents....Like he only has a spine when he is talking to the GOP..He knows that the LSM will cover for him...whereas the world media has lost its shine for him several years ago and they will report things that we in the states will not get unless we read foreign newspapers not the domestic bird cage liners or fishwrappers we get locally.
Now I don't know about other people but I am really pissed about this crap, those clowns work FOR US...We are not sheeple to provide wool and the occasional mutton to our betters in D.C and I am wondering how much longer people in the states will get to the point that they are pissed enough to tell the FEDs to screw off.
