Controversial anti-Muslim MP banned from the UK because of public order fears . (COWARDS)
Sure ... keep this guy OUT of the UK but it’s okay to keep IN known illegals and would be terrorists and plane hijackers, and especially if they belong to the ROP.
What freekin twaddle this govt. speaks. COWARDLY SCHMUCKS!
Fears of public disorder. What does that tell you folks?
What it says to me is that this govt. can’t control or refuses to control the real trouble makers here. It tells me they fear a community that for the time being, is still a minority , but one that can’t be controlled.
Mr. Wilders has threatened nobody with death. But as usual, I see the muzzies are acting their usual uncivilized selves by threatening him.
And wanna bet the film they’re soooooo upset about has more then likely NOT been seen by the majority of those who are, “offended.”
But that’s right London, keep Mr. Wilders out while you harbor your real and most dangerous enemy.
last post for the day for me ... Xanax and a wine to calm down and go to bed with a book, and hope when I wake tomorrow there will still be an England. Hey ... you never know. Really you don’t.
Go to bed one night and wake up next day, take the morning paper in and open it to see the headlines, and suddenly find that the left here has decided to give away the rest of their country to the muzzies. By that evening we have Sharia law for all. Wife will have to go out and buy a burka.
If I allow her out.
I think I’ve just planted tonight’s nightmare!
stay tuned.
Controversial anti-Muslim MP banned from the UK because of public order fears
A controversial right-wing Dutch politician and controversial anti-Islam campaigner has been banned from entering Britain.

Controversial anti-Muslim MP banned from the UK because of public order fearsGeert Wilders had been refused entry to the United Kingdom to broadcast his controversial anti-Muslim film Fitna in the House of Lords.
Mr Wilders said he had been told that in the interests of public order he will not be allowed to come to Britain.
He responded to the decision in fighting mood, telling reporters that he still intended to travel to London.
He said: “I shall probably go to Britain anyway on Thursday. Let us see if they put me in chains on arrival. It is an unbelievable decision made by a group of cowards.”
Mr Wilders is under 24-hour police protection because of his anti-Muslim stance.
He has been receiving death threats from Muslim groups outside Holland since the anti-Koran film appeared on the internet earlier this year.
The film features verses from the Koran alongside images of the terrorist attacks in the US on 11 September 2001, Madrid in March 2004 and London in July 2005.
The film equates Islam’s holy text with violence and ends with a call to Muslims to remove ‘hate-preaching’ verses from the Koran.
It provoked protests in Muslim-majority countries including Indonesia and Pakistan.
Last night, Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen said he had called British foreign secretary David Miliband to protest against the decision.
He said: “It is disgraceful that a Dutch parliamentarian should be refused entrance to an EU country.”
A spokesman for the Lords said that the invitation to show his film remained open.
Home Office sources confirmed Mr Wilders had been refused entry to the UK.
A Home Office spokesman told The Daily Telegraph: “The Government opposes extremism in all its forms.
“It will stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.
(SCUSE ME ARSE-OLE. THEY’RE ALREADY LIVING HERE CAUSE YOU WON’T DEPORT EM!)“That was the driving force behind tighter rules on exclusions for unacceptable behaviour that the Home Secretary announced on in October last year.”

Permalink • Socialized Medicine added to other socialist stimuli
Republican Senators are questioning whether President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill contains the right mix of tax breaks and cash infusions to jump-start the economy.
Tragically, no one from either party is objecting to the health provisions slipped in without discussion. These provisions reflect the handiwork of Tom Daschle, until recently the nominee to head the Health and Human Services Department.
Senators should read these provisions and vote against them because they are dangerous to your health. (Page numbers refer to H.R. 1 EH, pdf version).
The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.
But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”
Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far.
Hospitals and doctors that are not “meaningful users” of the new system will face penalties. “Meaningful user” isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose “more stringent measures of meaningful use over time” (511, 518, 540-541)
What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the “tough” decisions elected politicians won’t make.
Go read the rest. This is the REAL change you’ve been waiting for. Everyone over 50, get on the carousel. No soylent green for you. “Welcome to the monkey house. I’m your suicide parlor hostess Heather; fly die me!”
Daschle says health-care reform “will not be pain free.” Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt. Medicare now pays for treatments deemed safe and effective. The stimulus bill would change that and apply a cost- effectiveness standard set by the Federal Council (464).

Permalink • The upside of the downside
Don’t you believe it until you see it. Until you stop hearing “for English, press 1” on the phone menus. Otherwise it’s BS. But for now, CNN wants to point out that it could be happening. And probably wants you to feel sorry for them too. Not me. Not one iota.
Hey Obama! Want real stimulus? Hire 2 million unemployed verified American Citizens at $20/hr as Border Patrol Deputies, and start rounding up the illegals. And throw them out. No anchor babies, no nada. And it sure as hell can be done, and quickly too. Fill up the trains and drive them to the border. Empty. Repeat. 10 million illegals could be deported inside 3 months. Then all the jobs that they were doing are now available for unemployed Americans to do. Those that aren’t now guarding the border that is. Market forces will very quickly set a fair wage point for the jobs that they had been doing. And if that causes some businesses to collapse ... well tough shit. Any business plan that requires a labor force paid below market to survive is a failed plan. Get 20 million illegals out of the US and we suddenly have 0% unemployment. And our health care costs just dropped 25%. Secure the borders and the drug trade dries up right quick too.
2 million people working at $20/hour is $1.6 billion per week. $83.2 billion per year. Call it a 4 year contract, and you’ve spent $333.8 billion, rebuilt the lower middle class, and provided more than 10 million jobs for the working poor.
Mass starvation in Mexico? Not my country’s problem.
Meanwhile, back at CNN:
Bad economy forcing immigrants to reconsider U.S.
Pedro Pablo slowly folds up his American flag blanket and stuffs it in his duffel bag. With it goes his American dream.
“I left my family and lost four years with them. I will ask them to forgive me,” he said.
Pablo is an illegal immigrant from Guatemala who came to the United States to support his wife and five sons back home. When he arrived, construction jobs were plentiful. Over the last year, he says, he’s worked three days.
He recently boarded a bus with a one-way ticket home, paid for by the Guatemalan consulate in Los Angeles. “I thought I could get ahead here. I regret coming.”
Across the United States, tens of thousands of immigrants—those here legally and illegally—are facing a similar dilemma: Do they continue to search for jobs in a struggling U.S. economy or return home to an even bleaker economic situation?
Hey, it’s them or us. Period. And they’re breaking the law being here, and they’ve been draining the system dry for decades. Are you ready to face the real reality of global depression? It should be obvious. Poor people are going to die. All over the world. By the millions. Those who can live off the land will survive. Those who are living off of the government will die. Period. That’s an ugly thing to face, but it’s the truth. We’re the country having fewer and fewer children to make ends meet. Pedro has 5 kids already. Probably 7 by the time he gets home.

At first, I was going to pass this UK based article over. It bothered me, as usual and for the usual reasons.
Idiot self hating Brits denigrating a proud past, as though there isn’t anything valid about their past. Self hating whites maybe but I can’t help but believe that many are simply jumping on a pc bandwagon. Lucky for those jerks I can’t get my way, because if I could, I’d have em all shot.
They are just too stupid to live and breathe valuable oxygen. And they take up valuable space as well.
I have to calm down and remind myself again that after all, this isn’t my country.
But they piss me off big time anyway. These jerks don’t even know their own history. They are a waste and really should be eliminated for the betterment of the university and the country.
OK so, I was going to pass on this article as stated. BUT ...
And this shows you guys how important comments are because Chris posted a comment on another subject yesterday, and what he said made me go back to re-examine this.
Here’s what Chris had to say on this headline story. The subject was;
Taliban stronghold destroyed by British and Afghan forces after 10 day battle.
and Chris posted ....
“How about we try to second guess the british press version of this?? :- “upright citizens brutally murdered by empire and government mercenry forces whilst peacfully educating local backward tribes in fine etiquette”
Name of commenter:
Chris Edwards
Which made me return to the article here because darned if it isn’t the very same off the wall lunacy that Chris parodied. That is the correct word I hope.
Row over Cambridge University’s ‘insensitive and offensive’ British Empire ball
By Tamara Cohen
Last updated at 3:49 PM on 09th February 2009Cambridge University has been accused of advocating slavery and racism yesterday by hosting a glamorous ball to celebrate the excesses of the British Empire.
Emmanuel college is hosting the ‘Empire’ ball in honour of ‘the Victorian commonwealth and all of its decadences’ priced at £136 per head.
But there was outrage from anti-racist groups as students were urged to ‘Party like it’s 1899’ - the year the Boer War started and concentration camps were used for the first time.Posters promoting the event read: ‘Once, there was an empire that governed over a quarter of the world’s population, covered about the same proportion of the earth’s land, and dominated nearly all of her oceans.
‘They say that the sun never set on the British Empire - but at the Empire ball, you’ll be wishing it never rises.‘Travel with us to the Indian Raj, an emerging Australia and the West Indies. We invite you to experience the Pax Britannica and party like it’s 1899.’
Campaigners branded the theme ‘offensive’ and accused the organisers of being ‘white and upper class’.
A row has already broken out among students at the college - known to its members as ‘Emma’ - on the social networking site Facebook.The Empire ball, which takes place on June 14, is the end-of-year event for the college and most students are expected to attend.
But dozens expressed concerns about the theme on the Facebook group ‘Emma against the Empire’ which is demanding the theme is dropped.
Students expressed disgust that in 1899, Britain had begun a three-year war against the Boer tribe in what is now South Africa.The conflict is seen as a dark chapter in imperial history, which saw the mass rounding up of local people in squalid camps which were to inspire Hitler’s death camps.
Britain’s empire, which once covered a quarter of the world, is also accused of perpetuating slavery and exploitation in Asia and Africa.
A spokesman for the anti-facist magazine Searchlight said: ‘These students are the people who are going to help lead the country one day - they should have more sense.‘Colonialism is associated with repression and exploitation and slavery. We are not thin-skinned but you have to draw the line somewhere. For a leading university like Cambridge it is amazing how ignorant some people can be. ‘
The group’s creator, student Joanna Beaufoy, wrote: ‘The British Empire oversaw countless atrocities, assumed an immense sense of cultural superiority which has sustained to this day, and destabalised dozens of developing governments.
‘We don’t think that it should be associated with a big party, despite the apparent ‘decadences’ of the regime. 1930s Berlin was also rather decadent.’Another Cambridge student, Laurence Doering, said: ‘The current theme implies a celebration of an unacceptable regime. Beyond that, however, it also nurtures the myth of white, upper-class, old-wealth Cambridge.
‘Throwing a party in the name of ‘Empire’ will damage the College’s reputation indefinitely and stop people, who have the potential to be here, from applying to Cambridge. The theme is divisive and unnecessarily provocative.’
Cambridge college balls take place in the confusing-named ‘May’ week, which usually starts on the second Thursday of June following the end of exams.Tickets for the ball, which cost £106 for the night or £136 for the dining tickets, include nine hours of live entertainment, international cuisine and unlimited alcohol from ‘all over the colonies and the Great British Isles.’
Arranged by committee of students, college balls can command up to £180 per ticket. They take months to organise and often include well-known headline acts, fairground rides and lavish refreshments, with tight security employed to throw out any ‘ball-crashers’.
Last night, the Empire ball presidents Richard Hilton and Jenny Unwin, issued a statement defending the theme.
They said: ‘The commitee considered the implications of the theme thoroughly and ensured that we had the support of the college in making our decision.‘We appreciate that any historical theme will inevitably have positive and negative connotations, but we are neither advocating nor condoning any point of view associated with the late Victiorian period.
‘We firmly believe our theme can be handled with the sensitivity and maturity that it demands and that it will make for an elegant backdrop to year’s ball.’
A University spokesman would not comment, saying the ball was a matter for the students.
Meanwhile, over at the TELEGRAPH they ran this editorial and it was well said, even if they didn’t call for the death penalty.
Having a ball with history
Last Updated: 7:29PM GMT 09 Feb 2009
The May ball organised by the junior body of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, is to have the theme of the British Empire. For £106 a ticket, ballgoers are invited to “party like it’s 1899”, as Prince might have sung had he been born a century earlier. In response, self-styled anti-fascists have denounced the theme as “offensive” and redolent of “slavery”.
Clearly the ball has pinpointed an area of ignorance. The British Empire fought slavery, and its children throve. In 1899, Ranjitsinhji, who had developed his cricketing skills at Cambridge, became captain of Sussex and the first player to score 3,000 runs in a season. Queen Victoria had meanwhile confided her private affairs to Abdul Karim, the “Munshi”, a low-born but trusted clerk. A little more of the spirit of the Empire now would broaden the minds of all involved.
Telegraph view: We need a little more of the spirit of Empire.
You could fill several books with the outstanding contributions to civilization made by those early Brits. For whatever flaws they may have had,
and being human it goes without saying they had to be flawed, unlike the self styled critics of the ball of course, but contribute they did by gosh.
In literature, in science, in medicine and in fact they often did more then simply contribute. They led.
I hate the idea that those people can so easily be judged by fools who know nothing.
Alright I’ll shut up. There ought to be enough Brits around here somewhere who can defend their past without leaving it to a Yank.
Hey wait. belay my last. Your past does NOT need defending!

I read something like this and usually ask, what next? But not this time. This time I wanna ask,
W H Y ?
OH RIGHT. I FORGOT. IT’S FOR THE KIDS AND FOR DIVERSITY.
A police force is asking young schoolchildren to write an essay offering their thoughts on homosexuality and transsexuality.
By Nick Britten
Last Updated: 5:34PM GMT 10 Feb 2009
Kent Police, which recently shot up the ranks as one of the most ”
gayoddball-friendly employers in Britain”, said it was organising the essay competition to increase awareness about diversity.The force, which is taking part in the annual month-long celebration of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, is inviting under 14s to write the essay entitled “All different, same respect”.
Pupils will be asked what the slogan of the LGBT’s history month “means to them”.
Winners of the essay prize will be awarded a £25 book token and a Kent police shield.
The essay writing competition also has a 15 to 17 category and an 18-plus section.
There is also a category for Kent Police staff.
Ann Widdecombe, Conservative MP for Maidstone and the Weald, said: “I would have thought the police had other things to worry about, like catching burglars.
“Why don’t they get kids to write an essay on combating crime. It strikes me as an extraordinary waste of police resources.”
A spokesman for the Campaign Against Political Correctness said she felt “police can get a bit obsessed about this sort of thing.”
She said: “It’s all part of a bigger picture and we wouldn’t say anything if there was just, for instance, one event a month.
“But a whole lot together is a bit much. You have to ask, what effective good does this sort of thing actually do?”
Matthew Elliott, Chief Executive at the TaxPayers Alliance said: “While this initiative is no doubt well-intentioned, the job of the police is to fight crime, not run essay competitions or organise dances with a politically correct agenda.
“It is a question of spending priorities, and all available resources should be put into frontline policing.”
Kent County Council is backing the celebration and is putting on an exhibition at county hall along with a seminar to explain the history of the LGBT movement, a quiz and dinner dance.
A Kent Police spokesman said: “We are holding a series of events throughout February including an essay writing competition which has four categories. It’s not just for kids, it is for adults as well.”
The force has been recognised as one of the most
gayqueer-friendly employers in Britain, according to the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index 2009, which researches attitudes towards sexuality. This year it ranked fourth, up 22 places from last year.

Pardon me folks and maybe it’s just my generation or the fact that I’m male and really do LOVE women.
I don’t get it. What the heck is it with folks who decide for others just what offensive is.
If there are any ladies here and I’m out of line, please tell me why.
I think this ad is cute. It’s the bee’s knees and all that. Where’s the insult? And why should one group speak for ALL women.
The ladies who are well paid to appear in this ad don’t feel demeaned I’m certain.
I suppose there are a few who do take exception to the ad, who do feel insulted by it. So don’t watch it and don’t fly this airline.
I kinda doubt (and this may be out of line) that the women who find insult in this ad, aren’t fit enough or good looking enough or young enough to be one of the people portrayed in the ad. Long winded way of saying sour grapes.
I’ll go further and say honestly that I only wish more flight crews were ALL female and ALL of them ALWAYS looked this good.
Believe it or not, there was a time in the early days when the stews really did ALL look great. But on some flights I’ve taken, with 2004 being the last, the uniforms didn’t look like much and some of the ladies looked like my grandma. Yes, I realize that’s very shallow of me. Sorry about that but I really do think it’s just our nature (male) to want stews to all look like a young Ann Margaret. Or Linda Carter.
Well, that’s my take on it.
What’s yours?
Virgin Atlantic accused of sexism over anniversary advert
Virgin Atlantic’s anniversary TV ad campaign, featuring crowds lusting after female cabin crew, has prompted complaints to the advertising watchdog that it is sexist and insulting to women.
Last Updated: 4:15PM GMT 10 Feb 2009
The 90-second commercial, set to Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic Relax, features a glamorous red-suited cabin crew and pilot walking through a airport for Virgin Atlantic’s first flight in 1984.
As the pilot and entourage walk through the airport crowds of people, mostly men, ogle the array of glamourous air hostesses. One man inadvertently squirts hamburger filling over himself while watching the procession.
At the end of the ad, which runs with the line “Still red hot”, two men are seen mesmerised by the pilot and his crew.
“I need to change my job,” remarks one of the men. “I need to change my ticket,” says the other.
But despite receiving 29 complaints the Advertising Standards Authority said the adverts has received 29 complaints that the £6m ad campaign, which also includes press advertising, is sexist.
The ASA said: “The general crux of the complaints was that the ad was offensive because it was sexist and presented a stereotypical view of gender roles.”
“We considered that most viewers would understand that the ad presented exaggerated stereotypical views of the early 1980s and played upon perceived attitudes of that time in a humorous way.”
The complainants argue that the all-female crew members are being promoted as the main reason for choosing the airline, and that this is insulting to all women, especially those working in the aviation industry.
Virgin is no stranger to accusations of discrimination against flight attendants.
In 2005 a tribunal in Queensland ruled that Virgin Blue, which operates in Australia, had discriminated against eight female flight attendants from rival Ansett, aged 35 to 55, who were not hired “because they weren’t young or attractive enough”.
A spokesman for Virgin Atlantic said: “The ASA has rightly dismissed these complaints, which probably come from competitors jealous of our fantastic cabin and flight crew.
“Our advert has been brilliantly received worldwide and reinforces why so many people want to work for Virgin Atlantic.”

19 days into his presidency, Barack Obama is already being written off as a disappointment.
They’re two of a kind - Barack and ‘my friend Tony’
Peter McKay
Daily MailA mere 19 days into his presidency, Barack Obama is already being written off as a disappointment.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair met President Obama in Washington last weekAs he flies off around America today to win public support for his $800 billion banks rescue plan, the chairman of the rival Republican National Committee — Michael Steele, who also happens to be black — says of Obama and his crew: ‘You have to wonder if all that power has gone to their heads.’ Meaning Obama’s head. They say all political life ends in failure. But not this soon, surely.
James Delingpole’s book, Obamaland, suggesting the new President is another Tony Blair, became a reality when Barack greeted ‘my friend Tony’ in Washington last week.
Both are masters of mesmerising, political language, skilled at feeding people’s dreams.
Yes, Obama is closing the Guantanamo Bay torture camp, but he’ll continue with the CIA’s ‘rendition’ flights. Meaning the U.S. will outsource its torture to countries even less scrupulous.
He will remove U.S. troops from Iraq, but put more of them into Afghanistan. He’ll push the ‘reset’ button on relations with Russia. How long before he reaches for the ‘default’ button, returning America to a full-on Cold War setting?
Wish these guys would knock off the torture camp thing. It always makes me wish something bad would happen to someone close to them thru terror and info urgently needed to save them, see where they come down on the issue of torture then.
Needless rant I guess, but I did find the blurb interesting anyway.

Now I do realize there are some who think this sort of thing is a total waste of time not to mention money and effort.
However, since the money isn’t yours and neither is the time and the only effort you make is getting outta bed .... you might wanna skip this post.
This is awesome!
Spectacular images from within the unopened casket of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian mummy have been revealed using a hi-tech hospital scanner.
Last Updated: 11:48PM GMT 08 Feb 2009
Experts do not want to disturb the casket, which has remained sealed. Photo: PA
The elaborately decorated coffin contains the wrapped remains of Meresamun, a woman believed to have been a singer-priestess at a temple in Thebes in 800 BC.
Experts do not want to disturb the casket, which has remained sealed since Meresamun was laid to rest almost 1,000 years before the birth of Christ.
But now cutting edge X-ray technology has allowed scientists to peer through the coffin and obtain astonishing 3D images of the mummy, still wrapped in her linen bandages.
A state-of-the-art computed tomography CT scanner was used to peel away the layers and reveal Meresamun’s skeleton.
The mummy’s remaining internal organs can be seen, as well as what appear to be stones placed in her eye sockets.
Egyptologist Dr Emily Teeter, from the University of Chicago’s Oriental Institute Museum, where a new exhibition featuring the mummy and CT images opens tomorrow, said: “It is so exciting to be able to see this. The mummy is still in the coffin. It is like having X-ray eyes to see the relationship between the coffin, the wrappings and amount of linen used.”
Meresamun’s identity is unclear. Her name, shown in an inscription on the casket, means “She Lives for Amun” (an Egyptian god).
According to the inscription she served as a “Singer in the Interior of the Temple of Amun”, one of a number of priestess-musicians who performed during rituals dedicated to the god.
Meresamun was one of the higher ranking “interior” singers, some of whom served members of the Egyptian ruling family.
The scans suggest she was about five foot five inches tall and aged in her late 20s or early 30s when she died.
She was an attractive woman with wide-set eyes, a symmetrical face, prominent cheekbones and a long neck.
The cause of Meresamun’s death is unknown, and all the more mysterious since she appears to have been in exceptionally good health. The state of her bones shows she enjoyed a nutritious diet and active lifestyle.
Although she bore no signs of dental disease, her teeth were worn down by the grit in Egyptian bread, which was made from stone-ground flour.
Early analysis suggests she had not given birth to any children.
The sealed casket was bought in Egypt in 1920 by James Henry Breasted, founder of the Oriental Institute.
The coffin, made from cartonnage - a type of papier mache composed of layers of fabric, glue and plaster - is colourfully painted with pictures of gods and symbols and hieroglyphics relating to life after death.
Earlier attempts to carry out scans of the casket in 1989 and 1991 produced disappointing fuzzy images.
The new images were obtained using a Philips Brilliance iCT scanner, one of the most advanced available. The machine scanned 100 cross-section slices of the mummy per second, generating 30 billion individual measurements and producing 1,000 times more raw data than was collected in 1991.
US radiologist Professor Michael Vannier, who led the scanner team, said: “The iCT scanner allows us to perform detailed analysis of very complex anatomy within seconds.
“The pictures of the mummy are breathtaking, we could see subtle things - wear patterns on the teeth, a clear view of the embalming incision, precise indications of her age - that were not apparent before.”

Kitchen prose and gutter rhymes
Apologies to Ian Anderson, but for some reason this poem by H. P. Lovecraft keeps coming to mind under the B. Hussein Administration…
Come hither, my lads, with your tankards of ale,
And drink to the present before it shall fail;
Pile each on your platter a mountain of beef,
For `tis eating and drinking that bring us relief:
So fill up your glass,
For life will soon pass;
When you’re dead ye’ll ne’er drink to your king or your lass!
Anacreon had a red nose, so they say;
But what’s a red nose if ye’re happy and gay?
Gad split me! I’d rather be red whilst I’m here,
Than white as a lily and dead half a year!
So Betty, my miss,
Come give me kiss;
In hell there’s no innkeeper’s daughter like this!
Young Harry, propp’d up just as straight as he’s able,
Will soon lose his wig and slip under the table,
But fill up your goblets and pass `em around
Better under the table than under the ground!
So revel and chaff
As ye thirstily quaff:
Under six feet of dirt `tis less easy to laugh!
The fiend strike me blue! l’m scarce able to walk,
And damn me if I can stand upright or talk!
Here, landlord, bid Betty to summon a chair;
l’ll try home for a while, for my wife is not there!
So lend me a hand;
I’m not able to stand,
But I’m gay whilst I linger on top of the land!
Remember, back in HPL’s day ‘gay’ meant ‘happy’. It didn’t have the deadly life-choice meaning it has now.
Meanwhile, it’s ‘Eat, Drink, and Spend...’

Permalink • Our national pigeon problem
Don R. Melquist over at The American Thinker has written a really interesting analogy piece titled Pigeons, Rats, and Democrats. (not to be confused with the Rats, Bats, and Vats series by Eric Flint) Go ahead and read the whole piece. I’ll just give the gist of it with this quote:
In the large cities of the world, pigeons live off handouts and scraps. The birds that compete for food in the country don’t live in the city for a variety of reasons. They build nests in trees and grasslands. Pigeons don’t really use nests. They put together a few sticks and nest on window and freeway ledges. Hawks, foxes, and other predators do not exist in cities so the pigeons thrive there. Pigeons are freeloading, parasitic, disease ridden, and disease spreading useless creatures that do very well in large metropolitan areas and can’t survive on their own without protection and free food.
Now, substitute ‘Democrat’ for ‘pigeon’ in the above quote and you have the point of his article.
This is in reference to the last line:
I really do dislike pigeons, but I have finally found a use for them: comparing them to Democrats or Democrats to pigeons. Pigeons are actually of more use since you can eat them.
So, here are some Demo...er...pigeon recipes.

On this and other conservative sites you’ve read posts pointing out that the putative stimulus package is a bad thing, and so must not be enacted. I’m here to recommend it be enacted, because it is bad and will cause harm instead of good.
Now why would I do such a thing?
That’s simple, because we haven’t learned a thing from previous socialist experiments. We haven’t learned because those experiments happened to other people in other places. They haven’t, to make this simple, happened to us. It is only by approving the stimulus package and trying full bore socialism that we will prove to ourselves, and the rest of the world, that pure socialism does not work. After all, if Americans can’t get socialism to work, nobody can.
We enact the stimulus package, go socialist, the economy collapses, things get real bad, and the world as a whole gets an object lesson in what happens when America ends up in the sewage. That’s going to impress people. If Americans can’t get it to work, people who can get anything to work, what chance does anybody else have? If that don’t get the message through, then Humanity is a lost cause and God needs to start all over again with a new Big Bang.
So support the stimulus package and socialism, so we’ll really learn just how crappy they both are, and why.

That’s why it’s called a “collection”
This entire bullshit avalanche was kicked off because one of our
Buckle your seat belts and get out your barf bags, here we go again ...
FRANKLIN—Behind a shroud of tall, tangled brush at the front of his four-acre property, former Vineland police officer Brian Hinkel allegedly hid a massive cache of guns and ammunition—an arsenal state police said is the largest they’ve ever seen.
Watch the code words flow from the holier-than-thou leftist pens ...
He also built an underground bunker on his Rosemont Avenue property, complete with an access ladder and carpeting, police said.
State police said Thursday they don’t know why Hinkel, 49, amassed such a huge collection of weaponry, a live grenade—which state police detonated at the scene—about 500,000 rounds of ammunition, gunpowder and military items. And he has not been charged with illegally possessing any items in the arsenal, although police were checking to see if the 259 weapons they seized were properly registered.
Why? Hey stupid, it’s called a collection. And the grenade? What grenade? The one you blew up, with the assistance of your own explosives? Prove it was real. Prove it was live. And no, no charges on having 259 guns ... because ONE firearms ID card is all you need. So who is this guy, some neo-revolutionary? Some straw purchase felon equipping all the street gangs in the state with guns? Some hell-bent anarchist? No. He’s a retired cop, who lives by himself on his little farm at the end of a dirt road, and gets by buying and selling farm equipment.
Hinkel was charged in an earlier alleged assault on state troopers when they went to his home Monday to question him in connection with two recent burglaries at a farm in Upper Pittsgrove, said Sgt. Stephen Jones, a state police spokesman. Hinkel was charged with aggravated assault on police. He was released from the Gloucester County Jail on $10,000 bail. Hinkel was staying with friends or relatives Thursday, Jones said, and could not be reached for comment. Jones said Hinkel has retained a lawyer, but did not identify the attorney.
For his sake I hope he has hired Evan Nappen, who is our most famous gun rights lawyer. He writes books on that subject. Man knows his stuff but good.
Jones said state police received information that items stolen from separate burglaries over the past two weeks at a farm on Friendship Road in Upper Pittsgrove might have ended up on Hinkel’s property.
When police went there to question Hinkel, he asked to go inside to get a jacket and, when he did, he allegedly grabbed a loaded handgun off the kitchen table. Troopers had to wrestle the gun away from Hinkel, Jones said.
None of the stolen items were recovered on Hinkel’s property, although some of them have been found at other locations in Vineland, Jones said. Hinkel has not been charged in connection with the burglaries.
So the Statey’s “information” was nothing more than some rube saying, “duh, there’s a lot of farmy stuff at Hinkel’s place. Maybe some of it is stolen.” And they swing into action!! Of course, none of the stuff turns out to be stolen after all ... but that doesn’t matter at all, does it? No such thing as False Suspicion I guess. And the “wrestle” part? Dollars to donuts this is the standard cop lie/CYA-cuz-we-fucked-up routine, repeated for the 3 millionth time. Sure, because an EX-COP is going to freak out over going down to cop-land to talk with some other cops. Riiiight. And pull a gun on them. Riiiight. No. I bet what happened was that he was carrying. In his own home. Which is entirely legal for anyone to do, but here in NJ we have a special aspect to the law that allows retired police officers, just like this guy Hinkel, the nearly exclusive right to carry. A special law that gives these special people special rights. Because they’re better than you an me. But the stateys saw the gun when he put on his coat, and tackled him on the spot. In his own home or on his front steps. Permit? We don’t waste time asking for no stinkeen permit. We just bust your ass and then make up a story.
Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get back to fear mongering. Wake up the idiots, pass out the pens ...
While they were at Hinkel’s home, state police noticed weapons throughout the house, and executed a search warrant there on Tuesday morning. While executing the warrant, police found hundreds of weapons stored inside two enclosed trailers on the property. State police removed the cache from the property Thursday morning using a box truck, and were still on the scene later in the day.
“This is the largest collection of weapons most of us have ever seen,” Jones said at the scene, as television news helicopters hovered overhead. “Some of the bullets, my people aren’t even familiar with.”
So they got a warrant to be nosy? Is that it? Because they saw some guns around the guy’s house - which is fully legal, since no children live there - and away they go on their rampage! And that was an immediate warrant, not one with actual cause, one that might have been warranted (sorry) if the property in question was indeed stolen. No, this is another case of out of control goonsquads, pretending to act in the public good. Had they waited just a couple of hours, long enough to find out that the farm stuff was legit, or to even check that the ex-cop had permits (which is 10000% guaranteed that he did), they never would have been granted that warrant. But hey, it’s Vineland, which is about as rural as it gets in NJ, and this was probably the first Big Case they’d seen in years, so Let’s Go!! Hut hut hut hut!
“some of the bullets, my people aren’t even familiar with” Oh, it is to laugh. Most cops don’t know jack shit about guns. Not jack shit. They might be able to recognize a .38spl cartridge, and tell it from a 9mm Luger cartridge. But please. Pointing out how large and varied an ammunition collection is because cops don’t know the rounds? It. Is. To. Laugh.
So let’s get back to the fear. Time to paint this guy as a dangerous loner, a time bomb that could have gone off at any second, if not for the brave and selfless actions of Our Brave Boys
Neighbor Antoinette Ragone said she’s lived across the street from Hinkel for about three years, but had no idea he was allegedly housing enough firepower to outfit an army.
“I never really spoke to him,” she said Thursday morning. “It was a hi-bye relationship. I’m shocked and upset.”
Ok, that’s it for the small town farm report newspaper. Knuckleheads don’t really know the script. Let’s send the story to the pros in the big city.
Ex-Vineland cop jailed on new weapons charges
Atlantic City - A former Vineland police officer surrendered to police Wednesday and faces new criminal charges related to a 259-weapon arsenal he kept in his home.
Brian Hinkel, 60, of Franklin Township, Gloucester County, faces five new charges of possession of assault weapons, and one new charge each of possession of high-capacity ammunition and destructive devices - in his case, a functional grenade, according to police.
Police jailed him on $250,000 cash bail that he must pay in full to gain release while he awaits trial.
Ok, now we’re cooking with ass gas. “Assault weapons” is a crock term, and you know that. But they are entirely legal in NJ if you follow the rules. Grandfathering, “fundamentally non-identical” etc. You can even get new ones if you do it right. But I’m ROFLMAO over “possession of high-capacity ammunition”. WTF is that? Do Joe Reporter mean ”standard high capacity magazines”? What a dumbshit. Oh, and grenade again. The one that doesn’t exist any more. And Hinkel remains in jail, on FULL bail, which is unheard of even for murders and rapists. The man is a full blown terrorist!!!!1111!! Quick, call the airlines and reroute the flights, this guy is gonna start shooting down airplanes!!!!1111!!!!1
State Police arrested Hinkel and searched his Rosemont Avenue home last week after a robbery investigation in Upper Pittsgrove Township, Salem County, led them there.
That means the false information that resulted in the stateys verifying that all of his equipment was not stolen merchandise? That lead? Gee, that was forthright of you to say it in that way. Not.
Police said Hinkel fled State Police Detective Mike Peterson and assaulted him by slamming a door on him and reaching for a loaded gun.
Closing your door is an assault? And if the door was closed, how do you know he was reaching for a gun? How do you know it was loaded? Inquiring minds wonder where yours is, and if you can breathe in there.
From that incident, investigators obtained a search warrant after Peterson said he saw the gun. Police searched the home for three days and found 259 guns, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and an improvised bunker on Hinkel’s property.
So, a false lead leads to false pretenses, which gets the cops a search warrant. And let’s throw in the fear term “improvised bunker”. It’s called secure storage moron. But I guess that’s a crime too?
Why, didn’t he have the right kind of building permit?
Hinkel’s arrest has drawn widespread attention, and the case has been bumped up to the state Attorney General’s Office for prosecution. Anti-gun violence groups have criticized Hinkel, who took a disability retirement from the Vineland Police Department in 1986 after 13 years on the force.
Time to pull out the “big guns”. Let’s investigate further maybe, and claim the disability is false? Which it probably is. But that’s cops. They ALL seem to retire on disability. Usually a back injury, which is impossible to disprove. I wonder if disability gets you a bigger pension? But that’s neither here nor there. But kick the case up to State, because the AG wants to share the spotlight. And bring in the looney left, so they can spout their usual drivel.
Bryan Miller, executive director of Ceasefire NJ, said: ”Hinkel deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and, if convicted, sentenced to a long term. After all, as a former cop, he knew the law and apparently chose to actively violate it. And, by possessing such an arsenal he may have put his neighbors and others at risk. Imagine the potential harm such an arsenal represents, if it were stolen and ended up in the hands of criminals or domestic terrorists.”
“Apparently” chose to “actively” violate it. Cover your ass much Cryan Bryan? But let’s throw the book at him anyway. And it’s an “arsenal” of course. Putting the neighbors at risk. Really? How? Tell me that please. “Imagine” the “potential” harm. “domestic terrorists”!!!! Give this drooler a tissue. I think he came all down his leg. Ewww.
Several newspapers have published Hinkel’s picture. Many have published pictures of his house. Some have even published a map, so the protesters will know exactly where the guy lives. This kind of makes me wonder, who is leading who? Does our press learn it’s trade from Hugo Chavez and his Jew baiting? Or is it the other way around?
That’s not it for the story though. Why stop at just one day’s coverage? Now let’s move on to the “unanswered questions” part. Unanswered, probably because they’re also unasked.
Questions surround Franklin Twp. man’s gun collection
Walking with his auburn-colored retriever around the trailers and piles of clutter that dot his land on Rosemont Avenue in Franklin Township, a subdued Hinkle said he did not want to talk. As a whirring helicopter passed overhead, the former Vineland, N.J., police officer cast his eyes skyward with suspicion.
“Maybe I’m going to get hit again,” said Hinkle, shaking his head. “Unbelievable.”
Until this week, Hinkle, 59, lived in relative anonymity. Neighbors saw him as a kindly recluse, and neither they nor his former employers have provided any clues as to why Hinkle may have amassed such a large cache of weapons.
Another iteration of the crazy-loner-with-guns angle. Add in the “piles of clutter” to imply he’s white trash. Journalists sure do seem to work off of a script, don’t they? I covered the “why” part already. It’s called a right. That’s something that the rest of the country gets to do whenever they want and as often as they want, without question. In NJ, you need permission, and you know that getting that permission is part of the legal Pay To Play corrupt monkeyshines that go on here.
On Monday, Hinkle was arrested on charges of aggravated assault after allegedly drawing a gun on two New Jersey state police troopers. The officers had been questioning Hinkle about his connection to a man who is wanted for burglary.
So now State Trooper Peterson has become TWO officers. Who got drawn on. From the other side of a closed door. After they were assaulted by having it closed on them. :eye roll: But come on already, let’s ratchet up that public fear!
The arrest led to the officers’ discovery of Hinkle’s firearms, a stockpile that authorities have said is the largest they have seen in private hands. Hinkle had everything from World War II-era firearms to rifles and modern handguns, police said. He also had a live grenade, gunpowder, and a canister of tear gas, they said.
By the time they finished searching Hinkle’s property on Thursday, officers had seized 259 guns and nearly a half-million rounds of ammunition. Some of the weapons were stored in a homemade bunker Hinkle had fashioned out of an old septic tank.
Gun noobs crack me up. WWII firearms aren’t modern? Hey stupid, guns made in 1899 are modern. Granted that semi-automatic pistol design has come a long way since 1899. That particular branch of modern firearms development reached it’s apex ... in 1911. Geez Louise. And gunpowder is not illegal, neither the black or smokeless variety. I can’t say that about the tear gas. This is NJ after all. But the guy is an ex-cop. Don’t they have a special law as well that lets ex-cops have tear gas? And tasers? And evil switchblade knives? Why the hell not? If you’re going to write laws that make them Superior Citizens, why stop halfway? Back on track please Drew ... Ok ... “bunker” again. With the obvious Hitler association of course. And a “half-million rounds” of ammo, which works out to a little over 40 boxes per weapon. A good stash ratio. I’d only call it large because this guy had a decent sized collection. That’s right my foreign readership! Mr. Hinkle is not really an exception. Tens of thousands of us own just as many firearms or more. Not me. I’m just a little wiener, minding my own business. Nothing to see here, move along. I am not the droids you are looking for.
Hinkle has not been charged with illegally possessing any of the weapons found in his house. State Police Sgt. Steve Jones said that may change, depending on the outcome of the investigation.
So far, he said, police have determined that the grenade, gunpowder, tear gas and a few other items are illegal.
Well you determined wrong dimwit. The gunpowder is not illegal. At all. And what’s this “a few other items” bullshit? You’re doing your oinking pig best to destroy an honest man’s life over bullshit, so why not tell us? Did he have an illegal hatpin? Were his kitchen knives illegally sharp? Did you find the old bearskin rug baby photo of his son? Child pornography!!!!
Hinkle never spoke about guns or weapons, [encroaching suburban neighbor] Murray said. Occasionally, she heard a few shots coming from the direction of Hinkle’s land.
“But that’s not unusual in this area,” she said. “We have a lot of hunters around here. I never thought twice about it.”
One of the only hints of discontent Murray ever noticed in Hinkle was that he was opposed to higher taxes, and seemed to resent government interference in his life. “He would say things like, he doesn’t want to be told how to live,” she said.
Horry Clap! Horrors!! Shudders!!! The guy sounds exactly like ... an American!!! But in the People’s Socialist Republik of New Jersey, that’s discontent! Oh pleez, massa gob’mint, takes all a my moneys and tells me whatta do. I can’ts be figgering dat out nohow, dues it for me!! Discontent my ass. Sounds like patriotism to me. Commie bitch.
But wait, there’s more! YOU KNOW WHAT COMES NEXT. Like Spring follows Winter, like peanut butter and jelly, OF COURSE this next bit had to follow. There are rules to be followed!
Corzine calls for tougher gun laws
Gov. Corzine called yesterday for tougher gun laws at the state and national levels, citing the recent discovery of 259 firearms at a man’s Gloucester County home as a reason to bring back a federal ban on assault weapons. Corzine also called on the state Senate to give final legislative approval to a plan to limit New Jersey handgun buyers to one purchase every 30 days - putting public pressure on lawmakers to pass a bill that appears stalled.“There is no reason why anyone needs more than one gun a month,” Corzine said. “It is time for the Senate to take this bill up and pass it.”
The Assembly has approved the measure. [but it has been tabled indefinitely - Drew]
Corzine made the calls for tougher laws before a roomful of gun-control advocates who had gathered as he signed a law increasing the penalties for illegally possessing machine guns or assault weapons in New Jersey.
He said a federal assault-weapons ban was needed to complement New Jersey’s restrictions. A national ban “in theory” would have blocked Brian Hinkel from amassing such a large arsenal at his Franklin Township home, Corzine said.
“Seat belts” Corzine is an idiot. He should be bitch slapped with an anchor chain for that “nobody needs more than one month” remark. It ain’t about needs ya fascist. And your theory is a crock. 259 guns, some antiques, takes a long time to collect. Decades. Who wants to bet that some of these guns weren’t Hinkel’s dad’s? WWII souvenirs? Family heirlooms? Not me. Your theory only holds a small amount of water IF your idiotic law was in place 25 years ago. One month less than that, actually. [No, I’m wrong. Because it only applies to future purchases. So he’s full of shit, totally.] And even under that law, Hinkel could still inherit many guns at one time, so you’re grasping at really thin straws.
And let’s not even go there with the machine gun thing. Actual automatic weapons have been regulated out the ass by the federal government for over 70 years, along with major penalties for illegal possession. And NJ also has long had it’s own additional major penalties for illegal possession of them. And just about ZERO actual automatic weapons have been used in crimes anywhere, much less in NJ. Plus, criminals don’t care about the laws to begin with. So you’re just flapping your gums and signing a do-nothing law that will likely never even be used, all to make it look like you and your corrupt cronies in Trenton are “tough on crime” and “doing something about it”. What a galactic jerk off.
Hinkel, whose 259 weapons were discovered in late January, faces numerous criminal charges, including five counts of possession of an assault rifle.
Bryan Miller, executive director of Ceasefire NJ, said that even though New Jersey bans assault weapons, they can be bought in other states and brought here illegally. A national ban would prevent buyers from obtaining assault weapons anywhere, he said.
“They’re made to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible, and as such they have no use in a society,” Miller said.
Same asshole, different fart. Cryin Bryan yet again, and yet again he plays the fear card while at the same time ignoring the actual existing law. I have a friend who bought an “assault rifle” 2 years ago. Brand new. Right here in NJ. Oh wait, it’s not really one, because it doesn’t have a bayonet lug on the barrel. And the lower uses a bigger assembly pin than the “pre-ban” model. So his gun is legit. Well, as long as a newspaper reporter or cryin Bryan doesn’t see it. Then it will become an eviil scary black rifle.
Hinkel, 59, came to widespread attention after police found a store of firearms at his home. It was discovered after state troopers arrived to question him about his ties to a suspect in a recent burglary. Police are still investigating how and where Hinkel, a former Vineland police officer with no criminal record, obtained all of the weapons.
Oh God, this shit never stops, does it? It. Never. Stops. “how and where”. Get real. How? With money. Where? Anywhere in the state he wanted to, as often as he wanted too, as long as he had his little piece of colored paper. Because that’s all a NJ Firearms ID card really is. It doesn’t even have your picture on it, it’s not even laminated. It’s just a scrap of paper that a 5 year old could run off on a mimeograph machine in 2 seconds. So much for “gun security”.
Is there no breath of fresh air here? Even one little whiff of common sense? Yes, at last there is. Three in fact.
Andrew Arulanandam, a spokesman for the National Rifle Association, said Corzine should focus on existing regulations, noting that anyone in New Jersey who possesses an assault weapon is already breaking the law.
“The reason gun control laws and especially laws like this don’t work is that criminals by definition don’t obey the law,” Arulanandam said. “If Gov. Corzine was serious about combatting crime, he would put the focus on prosecuting criminals who violate existing gun laws.”
Evan Nappen, an Eatontown, N.J., lawyer whose practice focuses on firearms law, said the definition of “assault weapon” is often based on technical factors that do not relate to how dangerous a gun is.
“This is just another show for the public that will have no effect on crime,” he said.
Within the state, Senate Majority Leader Stephen Sweeney (D., Gloucester), one of the opponents of the one-handgun-per-month bill, said New Jersey has enough laws.
Horry Clap, you could knock me over with a feather after that last statement. A leading NJ Democrat who says we have enough gun laws. Swoon! There might be one thin weak ray of hope left after all. But don’t bet on it.
