Bright young men of disheveled appearance, often with sunken glowing eyes, can be seen sitting at computer consoles, their arms tensed and waiting to fire their fingers, already poised to strike, at the buttons and keys on which their attention seems to be riveted as a gambler's on the rolling dice. When not so transfixed they often sit at tables strewn with computer printouts over which they pore like possessed students of a cabalistic text. They work until they nearly drop, twenty, thirty hours at a time. Their food, if they arrange it, is brought to them: coffee, Cokes, sandwiches.  If possible they sleep on cots near the printouts. Their rumpled clothes, their unwashed and unshaven faces, and their uncombed hair all testify that they are oblivious to their bodies and to the world in which they move. These are computer bums, compulsive programmers...

As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn't as easy to get programs right as we had thought. Debugging had to be discovered.

"I'm 63 and I'm Tired"

by Robert D. Hall


I'm 63.  Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked hard since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired.


I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it.


I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money.


I'm tired of being told how  bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood Entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers.  In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of  Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China  the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela .


I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because  they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls;  of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery";  of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Al lah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to.


I'm tired of being told  that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of U.S. Senators from Illinois.


I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government.


I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but thinks that Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of  presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News?  Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.


I'm tired of being told  that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and mandrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. 

I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.


I'm tired of being told  that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do.  Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off?  I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I #@*# sure think druggies chose to  take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.


I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next?  Calling drug dealers, "Undocumented Pharmacists"?  And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion.  I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record  and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military.... Those are the citizens we need.


I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims, who tortured and beheadedDaniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.


I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need  bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the " Illinois  Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.


I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.


Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.


I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination or big-whatever for their problems.


Yes, I'm real tired.  But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.


Robert  David Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.

You still don't know what you're dealing with.

The Vast Right Wing Blogosphere is all atwitter about the recent court decision declaring Obamacare unConstitutional.  While it's nice that we've finally found a Federal Justice with some sort of comprehension of that founding document, it means not one damn thing when you're dealing with the mentality of this administration.  Pass all the laws, render all the decisions, submit all the complaints you want--they don't care.

Seriously. 

They.  Don't.  Care

This administration literally has the collective mentality of the street thug:  They're going to do whatever they want, regardless of legality or morality, until they are physically stopped.  No, I'm not suggesting anyone do anything violent.  I'm saying that until Obama and his associates are clapped in handcuffs and marched off to jail, they will simply ignore any and all rulings, orders, laws, protests, etc. as regards their actions.  They think they're above the law.  The will of the American people and the limits of the Constitution are irrelevant in their eyes.

That's the mentality we're dealing with, and I honestly think that the only peaceful way to return us to the rule of law will be some serious impeachment proceedings.  Not a slap on the wrist, but real charges.  We threw Nixon out on his ass for far, far less than what these people are doing to us.  Why are we permitting this blatant contempt to continue?

We either stand up to this administration's attempted coup and return to the rule of law, or just admit that America is dead.  When the President can de facto declare himself a king, without resistance, then liberty is no more. 

What say you?

5 Life lessons

I borrowed these from NFO http://oldnfo.blogspot.com/   It is a very good lesson, I make a point to abide by these when possible.

 

Five Lessons...

Five lessons about the way we treat people...

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady.

During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions until I read

The last one:

"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely, " said the professor.. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant.. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say "hello.."

I've never forgotten that lesson.. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride.

Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab.

She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached..

It read:

"Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along..

Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's' bedside just before he passed away... God Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those w

ho serve.

In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him.

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Twenty-five cents," replied the waitress.

The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it.

"Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired.

By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing impatient..

"Twenty cents," she brusquely replied.

The little boy again counted his coins.

"I'll have the plain ice cream," he said.

The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels Dimes, I meant Dimes... and five pennies.

You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.. Many loudly blamed the

King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the

person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...

Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a

hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who

was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only

chance of recovery appeared to be a blood

transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had

miraculously survived the same disease and had

developed the antibodies needed to combat the

illness. The doctor explained the situation to her

little brother, and asked the little boy if he would

be willing to give his blood to his sister.

I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a

deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save

her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed

next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing

the color returning to her cheek. Then his face

grew pale and his smile faded.

He looked up at the doctor and asked with a

trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away"?

Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the

doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his

sister all of his blood in order to save her.

We can ALL learn from these... Nuff said...

Liberal to english translation........

I know many liberals and have asked them all the same question, “You detested that Bush spent so much money and raised our national debt, yet Obama is quadrupling this debt and has, in fact amassed more deficit spending than all other Presidents combined. Does this bother you?” Every single time the answer has been, “No, it doesn’t bother me because he is spending money on things that need to be done.” To which I state something along the lines of, “You mean like A $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film, or $600 million to buy hybrid vehicles for federal employees, or $160 million for “paid volunteers” at the Corporation for National and Community Service, or lastly, how about $850 million for Amtrak.” This is usually where the conversation either turns ugly or ends, because when confronted with the truth, the average liberal cannot deal with it. It is hard to call these things investments when they are what they are – government waste and misuse of our tax dollars.
The liberals have been so successful the last few years because of a number of reasons. The liberal media is in their back pocket for one, and have been a very useful tool of the liberal. The liberal media has even adopted the language of the liberal. For example, it’s not raising taxes, it’s “investing.” It’s not abortion, it’s “choice.” They’re not illegal aliens, they are “undocumented immigrants.” For you see, to make their far left agenda more palatable to the average American, they have to – because it is so radical.
So I have compiled a partial list of liberal to English translation. It is in no particular order and of course only a partial list because it is constantly being changed and updated.
“The constitution is a living, breathing document.”= A fundamentally flawed document (Spoken by Obama in a radio interview in a 2001 Chicago Public Radio interview) that changes with political expediency
“Investments”= Tax Hike
“Deficit Reduction” = Also means tax hike
“Religious right” = Christians who are conservative
“Bipartisanship”= Arlen Specter
“Intolerance”= Opposed to liberal agenda
“Propaganda”= Conservative point of view
“Assault Weapons” = Virtually any firearm
“Cut”= Reduction in the rate of growth
“Pandering”= What Republicans do when supporting something liberals don’t like, usually applies to the NRA or religious right
“Profiteering”= Not losing money
“Managed competition” = Government takeover
“Overheated economy” = Prosperity
“Fully fund” = Blank check
“Diversity” = Multiple groups that adhere to the liberal agenda
“Special interest groups” = Non-liberal groups
“Fundamentalist”= Conservative
“Greed”= Profit motive
“Multiculturalism”= When placed in context to other countries, it means that America is to blame for all that is wrong in the world and that the USA is only one country among many, NOT the leading nation in the world
“Choice”= Abortion – not to be confused with the choice of personal liberty, that is not allowed under the liberal system
“Oversight”= Government
“Working Americans” = Only lower and middle class Americans
“Conduct a review” = Strategic delay
“Insurgents”= Terrorists
“Rigid Ideologue” = A conservative that stands up for his beliefs
“Compromise”= Only comes about when people agree with liberal agenda
“Affirmative Action” = Racial Preferences
“Lies”= “Policy Differences”
“Patriotism”= Paying more and more taxes is often equated with being a patriot
“Racism”= Open criticism of the Obama administration
“Closed-minded”= Does not agree with liberal agenda
“Right wing extremist” = The GOP
“Social responsibility” = Redistribution of wealth
“Corporate welfare” = Gross revenue minus taxes
“Corporate subsidy” = See ‘corporate welfare’
“Deserving poor” = People who vote for liberals
“Tax the rich” = Increase taxes on anyone making $250,000 a year or higher, $200,000 or, er, I mean $150,000 a year – *sigh* this number keeps getting lower
“Freedom Fighters” = Terrorists, Somalia Pirates, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, etc…
“Decriminalization”= Legalization
“Regulate” = Ban, as in the moratorium on deep water drilling in the Gulf of Mexico

Explaining Obama's budget proposal

I am back to my political articles

An educated populace is best defence against a tyrannical government

Boeing 747-8 testing

A break from my political postings, I am an Aviation buff and the 747 is my favorite airplane, I can't wait for the passenger version to arrive.

It is 3:00 AM....and the phonecall comes in.

I borrowed this from GOC,http://www.grouchyoldcripple.com/  a favored bookmark of mine

Who knew how prescient that campaign commercial would be? Here it is 3:00 AM and Jug Hussein Ears is voting "present". He doesn't know what to do and neither do the rest of the Keystone Kops like Thunder Rodent Thighs and Plugs Biden. Maybe Plugs can find some Reagan speech to plagiarize.
Jimmah Carter weighed in and said that it's time for Mubarak to go. Yeah. That's just what we need. The second most incompetent president in history advising the most incompetent president in history on Middle East affairs.
Well, GOC, what would you do?
The first thing I would do is destroy all of the secret documents in the American Embassy in Cairo. The second thing I would do is evacuate the Embassy and bring everyone home. The last thing we need is another hostage situation. After that, I don't really know what to do. I'm not paid to make these kinds of decisions like TRT and Obungler. I do know that they'll screw the pooch and by pooch, I'm not talking about TRT or Blackie O.
What I think will happen is Obungler will grovel to whomever winds up in power. That's what he does best. To him, the only enemies are Republicans. Islamic tyrants? He bows to them.
What I'm afraid of is the Muslim Brotherhood taking control of Egypt. That would be a disaster. We'd have another Iran on our hands.
Another thing I'm afraid of is the Suez Canal getting shut down. That would disrupt the oil supply. Look for oil prices to skyrocket. Look for the Dimocrats to continue banning drilling in ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico. Can you say $5 per gallon gas? Drill baby, drill! is looking a lot better. It's time to abolish all of the stupid drilling bans that the environazi's (AKA Dimocrats) have instituted. It's time for a sane energy policy, not unicorn piss and not all of this green energy poof PFM! bullshit! 80% renewable energy by 2035? I'll have some of what he's smoking please.
It's 3:00 AM. The phone is ringing and Obummer is letting it go to voicemail. Gotta get up at 8:00 AM for a 9:00 AM tee time.

Understanding the Muslim Riots

 Reprinted from http://www.barnhardt.biz/

 

As with anything that has to do with muslims, the situation is complex and extremely ugly. A week ago today, if you had asked anyone with any knowledge of the muslim world what the two most stable countries were, you would get the same answers across the board: Jordan and Egypt. Today, Egypt has been overthrown and the rioters are massing in Jordan. Simply amazing.  

The Obama regime is going to try to paint the now deposed Hosni Mubarak as the bad guy dictator, and the rioters as freedom-loving students. Mubarak has been a dictator in Egypt, mainly concerned with his own wealth and power. He is NOT a muslim theocrat. He has been relatively pro-western, has maintained stability, has not gone on TV twice per week promising to wipe Israel off the map, and has kept the Suez Canal wide open. When dealing with muslims, there is never a "good choice". There is only a "least bad" choice. Mubarak has been the "least bad" choice for 30 years in Egypt.
 
The "students" who are rioting are NOT the same as the students who protested in Iran in June of 2009. The young people of Iran are some of the most sophistocated, least islamic, pro-western, forward thinking people in the muslim world. They were genuinely trying to get rid of the insane, pedophile Ayatollahs and their nutcase puppet, I'mADinnerJacket. The young Iranians truly wanted freedom and democracy. And if you recall, Obama said NOT A WORD while they were being slaughtered in the streets. The "students" in Egypt are completely different. They are similar to the "students" in Iran 32 years ago who deposed the Shah (who like Mubarak was the "least bad" choice) and installed the muslim totalitarian Ayatollahs. That's what the "students" in Egypt are trying to do. They are deposing Mubarak and will "vote" into power the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the huge parent organization of Al Qaeda, Hizbullah, Hamas, AQAP and all the rest. And we now find out that the Obama regime has been supporting this behind the scenes. The MB is also VERY active here in North America. CAIR is a front for the MB, as is the Muslim Students Association and the Holy Land Foundation.
 
The Muslim Brotherhood has a long history of allying with Marxist organizations. Read the Wikipedia article on the Muslim Brotherhood, and you will see that they worked VERY closely with Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s and early 40s. I'm telling you, Marxism and islam are cut from the same cloth.
 
I see this as a possible beginning of a new muslim caliphate. This all has the potential to engulf the entire muslim world and dissolve and coalesce these nations into one entity. This is what muslims and the MB have been preaching all along. Their goal has always been a unified caliphate, marching in unison against Israel, The U.S., and Europe. Their goal is to impose Sharia Law everywhere, and submit the whole world to islamic rule. Well, except for China, of course. Because they know that China would kick their @$$es if they tried it. So . . . China, not so much. But Israel? The Americas? Europe? Oh, yes. We will be easy pickings.
 
The key area to watch next week will be Jordan. If the Jordanian government falls it will be a HUGE psychological victory for the MB. It will embolden and encourage them to go ahead and make a move on the crown jewel: Saudi Arabia. The MB HATES the Saudi royal family with a fiery passion. They always have. The Saudi royal family are a bunch of inbred hypocrites. While the Saudis impose strict islamic law on the people of Saudi Arabia, they themselves live in nauseating western decadence, totally exempt from any compliance to islamic law. Within the compounds of the Saudi royal family, beautiful women dress in mini-skirted business suits with high heels, exposed hair and full make-up. The men in the Saudi royal family globe trot, living in casinos, strip clubs and gay bars. Just a few months ago a Saudi "prince" killed his male sex slave (who he presented as his valet) in London. This hypocrisy is not lost on the people of the mid-east. The Saudi royals know this, and have managed to stave off overthrow by throwing billions upon billions of dollars at the muslim hard-liners. The Saudi royal family has built most of the super-strict wahabbist schools in the world today, and is also the money behind almost every mosque in Europe and North America. The MB hates them, but so long as the money has kept flowing, they have tolerated them.
 
What the MB now sees is that the situation will never be more favorable for them to make their move. The U.S. is caught - LITERALLY - without a President. Not only that, but the Marxist usurper Obama is actually SYMPATHETIC to them and will not interfere. The world sees the weakness and paralysis of the Obama regime, and I also suspect sees that they have only a two-year window left to capitalize on the situation. Don't think that these people aren't watching the birth certificate situation too. Don't think that they aren't watching the bills being introduced in the state legislatures of Arizona and Georgia. They know that an Obama re-election can not be assumed. They have to move now.
 
IF this spreads to Saudi Arabia, the world will change forever. I'm not sure if you remember this from a few months ago, but Obama snuck through a "recess announcement" of the largest arms sale in the history of the world - to Saudi Arabia. He did this right as Congress was leaving to go home for the final month of campaigning before the election so as to bypass congressional oversight and approval of the deal. What he did was essentially set Saudi Arabia up with a fully-functional, state-of-the-art, turn-key Air Force. Fighter jets. Attack helos. Satellite guided missiles. I think the package deal was over $60 billion. If Saudi Arabia falls, that Air Force will fall into the hands of the MB, which is Al Qaeda, which is the new muslim caliphate. They will be fully armed with our own technology.
 
Israel will not stand a chance. Yes, Israel has nukes, but the muslims have said openly for years that they would be willing to sacrifice tens of millions in order to exterminate the 6 million Jews in Israel. Because they are so heavily outnumbered, and because the muslims have no respect for life and even crave death, any action Israel took with its nuclear arsenal would be - and this is hard to write - merely a symbolic delaying action. And if there is ANYTHING we can be sure of regarding the Obama regime it is that they will never, ever come to the aid of Israel. That is the one thing they have made CRYSTAL clear.
 
If Israel falls, a fully armed, unified, extremely emboldened muslim army would almost certainly move on Europe, which we all know is completely broke and utterly demoralized and spiritually broken by self-loathing. It wouldn't take much. Those people wouldn't even put up a fight.
 
I find myself wondering if Obama and Michelle have ambitions for themselves should a new caliphate arise. In all seriousness, I could totally see them installing themselves as figureheads in the mid-east or the Horn of Africa somewhere, with Obama "returning to his muslim heritage", living in the lap of luxury as tin-pot dictators while the people around them starve and die. Oh yeah. I can TOTALLY see that.
 
In conclusion, I want to put this on record. There is ONE reason why all of this is happening. There is ONE event that has triggered a chain of events that may plunge the entire world into war and destabilization that could go on for years, if not decades, if not centuries. That ONE event is the election of the Marxist-islamist usurper, Barack Barry Soetoro Obama. The election of 2008 will be known and discussed as a seminal event in human history thousands of years from now. Little Barry needed to be the big man. Little Barry needed fame. Well, you got it, you son of a bitch.

Will Egypt be to Obama as Iran was to Carter?

I also lifted this from AWDhttp://angrywhitedude.com/    I give credit where credit is due, these are great posting and I will shamelessly cut and paste.

Listening to the news of Egypt, American liberals are giddy about the possibility of Egyptian dictator Hosne Mubarak being overthrown. Never have I heard liberals talk so much about democracy! In fact, I never hear liberals talk of democracy. Which can only mean one thing concerning Egypt. Since libtards want Mubarak out, hardcore Muslim mullahs will be in charge of Egypt within a few months! Democracy in Egypt? Yeah, right!
Obama seems to be doing his part to throw Mubarak under the bus. News reports are starting to surface that the United States has aided the protesters and their leaders. The rebel leader is none other than Mohamed el Baradei, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former UN Nuclear Watchdog chief who never met a Muslim thug he didn’t like. Didn’t anyone find it scary that the guy who was in charge of controlling nuclear proliferation was a Muslim? Iran’s nukes were developed right under el Baradei’s nose. Why am I not surprised?
Egypt is a Muslim country. Muslims kill Christians on a weekly basis there. A thug dictator is needed from keeping the greater evil of Islamic mullahs from taking control. Mubarak has a heavy hand but in no way is a danger to the rest of the world as Iran.
The idiot Jimmy Carter didn’t like that the Shah of Iran imprisoned wacko radical Islamists so he withdrew support for the Shah. Just as Obama is doing with Mubarak. This opened the door for the evil Ayatollah Khomeini and his mad mullahs to take control of Iran, turn the clocks back a few centuries for their citizens while developing nuclear weapons. It’s a problem we’ve lived with since the lowly Carter stunk up the White House. Think the same won’t happen in Egypt? Guess again!
This is the problem with liberals. They are basically stupid. They will overthrow the devil they know who poses no threat to us to dance with the devil that will kill us! Radical muslims all over the world are watching Egypt. After Tunisia and Egypt, more are going to be emboldened to overthrow the thugs who keep the mullahs locked up in other middle east countries. The entire region could be soon under the control of Muslim madmen mullahs.
This is a very dangerous time to have an amateur president with a very soft spot for Islam in his cold, dark heart. If Islamic mullahs take over Egypt, they can soon expect shipments of nukes from their friends in Iran. This is not good news for Israel. Things could get real messy in a real hurry and I think we know what side our commander in chief is on!

Barack Obama and the U.S. government have called for a “peaceful transition” in Egypt, in response to massive protests, riots and escalating anarchy. But I wonder if President Obama is taking notes? I wonder if he realizes just how close America is to facing a similar crisis that could result in riots, revolt in the streets, and economic paralysis. I wonder if President Obama would act much different than President Mubarak in Egypt. So far, small signs hint that Obama might turn out to be just as intolerant to dissent as Mubarak.
Think it couldn’t happen here? Think again. Let’s review the economic crisis that America faces at this very moment. Just in the days since Obama’s State of the Union speech there have been numerous signs that the U.S. faces an economic Armageddon. Dark storm clouds are fast approaching:

• The U.S. budget deficit is far more than even economic experts imagined.
• Unemployment is up yet again — far more than the experts projected.
• Social Security shortfalls are bigger and have happened sooner than any expert predicted — a decade sooner.
• Fourth Quarter GDP was lower than projected — and even the figure released was merely the result of the Fed printing fake money 24 hours a day, to create false consumer confidence, to prop up a U.S. economy that is falling off a cliff.
• The foreclosure crisis is deepening beyond what any expert imagined. As a result, real estate prices are falling even further, thereby threatening not only consumer spending, but the very survival of major banks.
• Inflation is skyrocketing on the two things that matter most — food and energy prices. One more disaster — perhaps the fall of Egypt, leading to an oil crisis — could lead to a hyperinflation that could turn America into a combination of Zimbabwe and the Weimar Republic.
• We already face economic Armageddon on a state and local level. U.S. cities, counties and states are teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. Their grave financial condition is the result of massive unsustainable spending and debt, caused in large part by irresponsible public employee salaries, pensions and health benefits. The worst part of this crisis is that the stimulus money is gone and the federal government is bankrupt, unable to bail itself out, let alone the cities, counties and states.
• There are early signs of revolt and anarchy here in America — with a record number of policemen shot and killed during a two-week period in January.
• The Middle East threatens to turn into a powder keg that could lead not to democracy, but to radical Islamic control of many Arab countries. This grave new threat to America, American interests, and the survival of our ally Israel, would lead to more military spending and a potential oil crisis that could engulf and overwhelm the U.S. economy. In our current vulnerable economic state this tragedy could set off a worldwide economic panic.
• Japan’s credit rating was downgraded on what most economists agree is a disastrous slide toward oblivion. Japan’s debt is so huge it can never be repaid. As one famous economist describes the crisis they are facing: “Japan is a bug in search of a windshield.” Japan’s impending implosion could also trigger a worldwide economic panic.
• Spain just announced unemployment of over 20%. Not only does this news threaten the survival of the EU, it also drives a stake through Obama’s strategy for saving the U.S. economy by creating green jobs. Spain proves there is no market for green jobs.

I shamelessly lifted this from AWD (http://angrywhitedude.com/    After I posted my own comments on Egypt

The whole idea is a mirage created by leftist progressive politicians desperately grasping for straws.
Can you imagine that all of this toxic news has occurred in only the few days since Obama’s State of the Union?
Our economy, our country, and global conditions are deteriorating faster than any expert imagined. The threats we face are unprecedented. Although they are running the presses 24/7, our Fed can’t print money fast enough to keep up with deteriorating conditions.
Our “real” U.S. unemployment may in fact be close to 20%. Among youth and minorities unemployment may be well over 30%. For the first time in modern history, there are few jobs for millions of new college graduates, while they each face education debt of $100,000 or more. There are seemingly no jobs at all for minority youth without college educations. All at the same time that prices are exploding for basic essentials. Sound familiar? Those are the exact same incendiary ingredients that led to revolt, revolution, and anarchy in Egypt.
So how will President Obama react to massive protests, riots, and revolt in the USA? Will he choose to shut down the Internet? He criticizes Mubarak, yet Obama is already asking Congress for the authority to do just that (without judicial review). Will Obama cut off access to Facebook and Twitter? Will he try to shut down talk radio and FOX News? Obama and his Democratic allies have already suggested doing that (before a true crisis) with “The Fairness Act.” Will Obama attempt to ban guns? He has already come out strongly in support of gun control or bans on numerous occasions before he was even elected President. Will Obama call in the military to contain the riots of unemployed, hungry, angry youth here in America’s biggest cities? Will he allow free speech — even if massive protests call for Obama to step down?
Is Obama taking notes in Egypt? He had better. Because Egypt’s crisis could eventually be coming to a city near you.

Egypt

 I am going to switch gears from my many postings on gun control and switch to an event that is happening on the international stage.  Egypt.   Egypt has been an American Ally since the mid 80's   We have had quite a few military exercises like Bright Star and other exercises and until recently they have been a staunch ally acting like a stabilizing influence in that area.  Egypt supported us and supplied troops during the first Gulf war, I remember seeing Egyptian troops at some of our supply dumps getting POL(Petrol-oil-lubricants ) and other gear while we were there getting supplied also.  They have a large well trained Army with a lot of western equipment and training. 
      Now we have massive riots in Egypt with people demanding Mubarak to step aside.  The Muslim brotherhood is believed to piggybacking on the peoples desire to change( the fact that 10,000 criminals and radicals have been freed supports the assertion that the brotherhood is using this to beef up their ranks and also gain some legitimacy with the people.  There have been other protest in the Sudan, Jordon and In Lebanon,  I believe that the brotherhood and their buddies in the other Islamic radical groups are taking advantage of the weakness shown by our president in this matter.  Obama is showing that again  he has no interest in international matters and is perfectly willing to sell out another ally in the middle east.  he already shows that he is willing to throw Israel to the wolves since he considers them occupiers of Palestine.  Which goes to his base belief  system that is formed by his dad.  Obama had stated in his first book that he will stand with the Muslims.   This shows that again America cannot be trusted to back an ally in time of need.  Elections have consequence as 2008 again demonstrates.   America had elected an empty shirt, full of fluff and catchy slogans, but no substance.    Israel is faced with a dilemma since they withdrew from the Sinai in the early 80's.  that is what they took in the 1967 war, it gave them a buffer against Egypt, a hostile power at that time.  This proved important since this was proven in 1973 yom kippur war when Israel was attacked by both Syria and Egypt.  Israel sent most of their force to the golan heights to stop Syria while the reserves were called up.  The resulting battles were some of the most brutal of the region. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War

      The resulting war allowed Egypt to have peace with honor and Anwar Sadat sighed a peace treaty with Israel in 1977 at Camp David with Jimmy Carter brokering.   Egypt has honored the treaty since, but if an Islamic sharia based government forms like Iran, this will be a nightmare for the Israeli's. to deal with since they don't have the buffer zone of the Sinai.  Israel will have to seal with both Syria and Egypt along with Hezbollah throwing rockets across from Lebanon.
      The next few weeks and months will be very interesting and dangerous for Israel as well for the stability of the middle east with Iran flexing its muscles through its proxy armies.
