What’s Up With Kerry’s Silver Star Citations?
Henry and Erika Holzer did some investigating (the kind we wish the mainstream media would do) and found out that the Silver Star Citation that Kerry got to accompany award of same-named medal has been modified two times after the original was approved. (hey, a Silver Star is a BIG FUCKING DEAL in the military) They print all three citations and then compare and contrast the differences between the three.They don't stop there, though. They go further to explain what the differences are between them and when the changes took place. They also describe the process of amending these citations and raise some excellent questions as to how Kerry was able to pull this off plus they ask WHY he would want to do so and you end up wondering what political pull was involved here and what groundwork was being laid to get Kerry where he is today?
They conclude with a series of questions they'd like John FUCKING Kerry to answer.
A fantastic read worthy of distribution to everyone on your mailing lists.

The Texas Doctrine
I just got this from a Texan. Fortunately, he's a friend and has offered me political asylum in Texas should Kerry win. The rest of you are SOL. Please note that Texas is the only state with a legal right to secede from the Union (please refer to the Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848).We Texans love y'all, but we'll have to take action if Kerry wins president over Bush. We'll miss you too.
Texas has given all those complainers plenty of time to get used to the results. After seeing the whiners along the campaign route, the folks from Texas are considering taking matters into our their hands.
Here is our solution:
#1: Let John Kerry become President of the United States. (all 49 states).
#2: George W. Bush becomes the President of the Republic Of Texas.
So what does Texas have to do to survive as a Republic?
1. NASA is just south of Houston, Texas. (we will control the space industry).
2. We refine over 85% of the gasoline in the United States.
3. Defense Industry. (we have over 65% of it) The term "Don't mess with Texas," will take on a whole new meaning.
4. Oil - we can supply all the oil that the Republic of Texas will need for the next 300 years. Yankee states? Sorry about that.
5. Natural Gas - Again we have all we need and it's too bad about those northern states. John Kerry will figure a way to keep them warm....
6. Computer Industry - we currently lead the nation in producing computer chips and communications: Small places like Texas Instruments, Dell Computer, EDS, Raytheon, National Semiconductor, Motorola, Intel, AMD,
Atmel, Applied Materials, Ball Semiconductor, Dallas Semiconductor, Delphi, Nortel, Alcatel, Etc, Etc. The list goes on and on.
7. Health Centers - We have the largest research centers for Cancer research, the best burn centers and the top trauma units in the world and
other large health planning centers.
8. We have enough colleges to keep us going: UT Texas, A&M, Texas Tech, Rice, SMU, University of Houston, Baylor, UNT, Texas Women's University, Ivy grows better in the south anyway
9. We have a ready supply of workers. (just open the border when we need some more)
10. We have control of the paper industry, plastics, insurance, etc.
11. In case of a foreign invasion, we have the Texas National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard. We don't have an army but since everybody down here has at least six rifles and a pile of ammo, we can raise an army in 24 hours if we need it. If the situation really gets bad, we can always call Department of Public Safety and ask them to send over a couple Texas Rangers.
12. We are totally self sufficient in beef, poultry, hogs and several types of grain, fruit and vegetables and lets not forget seafood from the gulf. And everybody down here knows how to cook them so that they taste good. Don't need any food.
This just names a few of the items that will keep the Republic Of Texas in good shape. There isn't a thing out there that we need and don't have.
Now to the rest of the United States under President Kerry:
Since you won't have the refineries to get gas for your cars, only President Kerry will be able to drive around in his 9 mile per gallon SUV.
The rest of the United States will have to walk or ride bikes.
You won't have any TV as the space center in Houston will cut off your communications. You won't have any natural gas to heat your homes but since Mr.. Kerry has predicted global warming, you will not need the gas.
Signed, The People in Texas
Have a nice day!

Insanity in our schools
I first heard about this a few months ago when my niece came to visit and she told me she is prohibited from using red to mark her students' papers. I almost crapped my drawers! So now we go so far as to protect the psyche of these little misfits by prohibiting certain colors?What alternative reality do these educators come from? Listen to this reason why they use purple now instead of red:
"Purple stands out, but it doesn't look as scary as red."
OOOOOHHHH!! Red is scary!! I'm terrified!
Another barking moonbat teacher has this to say:
"Red has a negative connotation, and we want to promote self-confidence. I like purple. I use purple a lot."
Godammit maybe these kids NEED to be SCARED! The little fucks may be failing! Do these educators actually think employers are going to give a shit about their feelings when these little maroons come seeking employment? Why is it we are so hell-bent on sheltering children, anyway? It serves them worse in the real world.
It's bad enough you can't hug the little beggars and, by consequence, turn the school environment into a cold and sterile place (and kids in pre-K to 5th grade can certainly use more hugs and signs of affection. As a matter of fact they crave it)
It's bad enough teachers can't expel troublemakers from the classroom (but at the rate this politically correct crap is going students will soon be expelled if they mention Jesus Christ in a playground or if a student refuses to select certain other classmates on to their teams thereby making those students guilty of "bullying tactics" or students may find themselves expelled for saying that Little Johnny's father is a homosexual (even if it is true) but the charge on the student will be for a hate crime.)
It's getting absolutely ridiculous.
Guess what else I was told some teachers up north can't do? Write on the students' papers. Why? Because it invades their space and offends them, I guess. At first I thought my leg was being pulled. Then I read this:
"At times, she uses sticky notes rather than writing on a child's paper."
WTF,O?!?!?!?!
Hey, let's open this up to other egregious examples. The floor is yours. Have at it. Let's hear them.

The Apologists In England are At It Again
British officials APOLOGIZED IN WRITING to a bunch of sheethead prisoners for having served them pork by mistake!!!!!Not only that but they took it completely off the menu. So now ALL prisoners have to suffer for these shitbirds' beliefs.
I really do not understand what all this kowtowing and bowing and scraping to these dirtbags in prison is all about. Really. These are fucking prisoners. If they don't like what's fed them, skip a meal for a day or realize your religion is a fucked up one and start eating that pig you so crave.

The S**t List With A Side Trip
Since Hollyweirdoes insist on making public statements in matters political, I will make personal statements by banning them from my home.For you new readers, my philosophy is this: Hollyweirdoes have a right to their opinion. No doubt. But when those opinions are carried by the media, thereby amplifying the voice of these moonbats a millionfold, well, that's where I draw the line.
You see, there are too many stupid fucking people in the US who actually formulate opinions about who to vote because of what actors say. I suspect it is some sort of misplaced hero worship related to not being able to differentiate the real person from the actor they portray.
Anyways, since my opinions and knowledge of matters political are usually MUCH GREATER than these barking moonbats' and I get NO CORRESPONDING TIME from the press, the only solution I have is to boycott these sons of bitches.
My original list is here.
A later update is here.
On to the two latest shitheels: Matt Damon and Scarlet Johannsen. I will not go to any of their movies, nor rent/buy any of their videotapes or DVDs. Doing so will compromise my principles by continuing to provide additional income to these assclowns. The more money they have, the richer and more influential they become. Their perception of self-importance grows and a willing and complicit media will, in turn, provide them ever larger outlets for spouting their nonsense.
That's that. So now let's go on a little side trip now but we stay with Hollywood as a uniting theme.
The Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson finds Will Smith opening his yapper in Germany bemoaning what it's like in the US as a Black man. There are few places in the world where Will Smith is able to do what he's done in America. Now he drives a Bentley, lives VERY large, yet STILL bad mouths the white man who, for the most part, is the one who goes to his shows, attends his movies, and gave him his money.
Rev. Peterson goes on to skewer Denzel Washington, Danny Glover, Spike Lee, and others for their vast hypocrisy and willingness to use the race card to trump all arguments and attempt to show themselves as "victims" of white oppression.
Lastly on our little trip we have Helen "DEGENERATE" Degeneres about to play God (of all beings) in a remake of the huge success film in the late 70s starring George Burns.
Please, put this on your "BANNED AND NEVER WILL WATCH" list.

Darwin’s Failures?
The first time natural selection was foiled but, hey, we all make mistakes and no one can say they did this on purpose.The second time, though, they should have been left out there because now they were treading on "stupid" territory.
Hot on the heels of that is another candidate for the chlorination of the gene pool.
Why? Because she plans to do it again! Say all you want to me about "hey, you got back on the bike when you fell off, right?" or "hey, just because you have a car accident doesn't mean you sop driving, right?" but jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is just not right.

On This Day In History
August 24, 79 A.D. - Vesuvius Erupts
After centuries of dormancy, Mount Vesuvius erupts in southern Italy, devastating the prosperous Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands. The cities, buried under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud, were never rebuilt and largely forgotten in the course of history. In the 18th century, Pompeii and Herculaneum were rediscovered and excavated, providing an unprecedented archaeological record of the everyday life of an ancient civilization, startlingly preserved in sudden death.The ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum thrived near the base of Mount Vesuvius at the Bay of Naples. In the time of the early Roman Empire, 20,000 people lived in Pompeii, including merchants, manufacturers, and farmers who exploited the rich soil of the region with numerous vineyards and orchards. None suspected that the black fertile earth was the legacy of earlier eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. Herculaneum was a city of 5,000 and a favorite summer destination for rich Romans. Named for the mythic hero Hercules, Herculaneum housed opulent villas and grand Roman baths. Gambling artifacts found in Herculaneum and a brothel unearthed in Pompeii attest to the decadent nature of the cities. There were smaller resort communities in the area as well, such as the quiet little town of Stabiae. At noon on August 24, 79 A.D., this pleasure and prosperity came to an end when the peak of Mount Vesuvius exploded, propelling a 10-mile mushroom cloud of ash and pumice into the stratosphere. For the next 12 hours, volcanic ash and a hail of pumice stones up to 3 inches in diameter showered Pompeii, forcing the city's occupants to flee in terror. Some 2,000 people stayed in Pompeii, holed up in cellars or stone structures, hoping to wait out the eruption.
August 24, 1814 - British Capture And Burn Washington
During the War of 1812, British forces under General Robert Ross overwhelm American militiamen at the Battle of Bladensburg, Maryland, and march unopposed into Washington, D.C. Most congressmen and officials fled the nation's capital as soon as word came of the American defeat, but President James Madison and his wife, Dolley, escaped just before the invaders arrived. Earlier in the day, President Madison had been present at the Battle of Bladensburg and had at one point actually taken command of one of the few remaining American batteries, thus becoming the first and only president to exercise in actual battle his authority as commander in chief. The British army entered Washington in the late afternoon, and General Ross and British officers dined that night at the deserted White House. Meanwhile, the British troops, ecstatic that they had captured their enemy's capital, began setting the city aflame in revenge for the burning of Canadian government buildings by U.S. troops earlier in the war. The White House, a number of federal buildings, and several private homes were destroyed. The still uncompleted Capitol building was also set on fire, and the House of Representatives and the Library of Congress were gutted before a torrential downpour doused the flames. On August 26, General Ross, realizing his untenable hold on the capital area, ordered a withdrawal from Washington. The next day, President Madison returned to a smoking and charred Washington and vowed to rebuild the city. James Hoban, the original architect of the White House, completed reconstruction of the executive mansion in 1817.

F**K Kerry
HA!!! You thought I was going to post something about The Poodle, eh?NAH!!!
We have to liven things up so I've got this joke that I thought was hilarious.
SOME of you (you know who) will probably want to skin me for it. It's a golf joke.
Having lunch in the clubhouse this last weekend, I couldn't help but overhear one blonde woman golfer telling another, "I got injured between the first and second hole."
"That's a bitch," said her friend, "You'll never get a band-aid to stick there!"
(he runs, he fakes left, fakes right, dives for cover!)
New Democratic Platform
FLASH!!! FLASH!!! FLASH!!! FLASH!!! FLASH!!! FLASH!!! FLASH!!!Our spies have infiltrated the Dummycrap camp and have just gotten their hands on the new "10 step" platform the Dems intend to use as it regards war fighting, terrorism and related subjects.
This is quite an extraordinary coup and we expect our operatives to be hunted down for this so we've given them new identities and provided them asylum.
Here it is:
1. Stop calling war as a "war." Rename it to the "Protest Against Terror." Protests always get people's attention and let them know that what you're protesting against is wrong.
2. Use softer bullets. Metal bullets hurt the terrorists, and that makes them hate us more.
3.Candidate for President Kerry will invite Osama bin Laden to the states for a "cuddling party" with him and John Edwards at Kerry's summer estate in the Rockies.As you know, nothing makes friends faster than a good cuddle.
4. Only go to war if the French and the UN say it's okay. Everyone knows how skillful the French are at dealing with other nations, and the UN has proven time and again its efficacy in dealing with terrorists.
5. Pull the troops out of Iraq within six months, but stay the course and even send more troops. If you have to ask, it means you must be a Republican and it's too nuanced for you.
6. Gently but firmly remind the terrorists that John Kerry was in Vietnam for four months thirty-five years ago. This will guarantee terrorists won't pull anything then.
7. Ensure government owned and operated health care for all Americans, paid for with higher taxes. Terrorists won't bother to attack if they know all Americans have health care; it won't do any good then.
8. Stop eating pork and cover all the women head to toe. Don't let women go to school or vote. That will show the terrorists that we understand them and appreciate their culture.
9 Don't call them "terrorists." They feel bad enough about our bullying, abusive foreign policy as it is. Call them "armed peace demonstrators." They'll feel more... peaceful.
10. Don't send soldiers; send social workers. All the terrorists really need is love and understanding.
So Sue Me!
Looks like John O'Neill has pulled off his the gloves and thrown them down as gauntlets at the feet of John F**ing Kerry (you know, the Vietnam vet who's French-looking and called The Poodle because, like a poodle he is a rich woman's toy---yeah, that guy!) by challenging Kerry to, instead of suing publishing companies or whining to the FEC, to SUE HIM!Like a tommy gun, he goes rat-a-tat-a-tat:
"If he was actually in Cambodia on Christmas Eve in 1968, he should sue me,"
"If, in fact those other five boats on March 13th, 1969, if they all fled like he did instead of staying like he knows they did, he should sue me."
"If he didn't wound himself with a grenade, causing a rice fanny wound, and then reported it to the Navy as a water mine – if he didn't do that on March 13th he should sue me"
Wanna bet Kerry hides behind his lawyers?
Am I Drawing The Right Conclusions?
Looks like some intrepid fact checker has been able to nail down hundreds of voters who exercised their constitutional obligation to vote in quite a few elections---twice!Hey, don't get me wrong. Regardless of party affiliation, people who vote twice should have their voting rights removed for two cycles. Do it twice and sterilization becomes mandatory.
But check out this article. Read it carefully. See if you draw the same conclusions as I did.
According to the article 68% of those found to have voted twice were Dummycraps. 12% were Republicans. 22% were unknown.
Here are my conclusions:
Almost 5 (FIVE) times as many were leftists, right?
Isn't it also true that the ratio of felons who are barred from voting in my states is also about the same (if not greater?)
(on a side note: what's up with felonious behavior and Democrats, anyway?)
Here's my last conclusion: for a party that hates what Republicans stand for: capitalism, low taxes, etc. could we be experiencing more hypocritical behavior on the part of these barking moonbats because how many poor people do you know can afford to have homes in two states? I guess Orwell's concept of "all people are equal except some people are more equal than others" is alive and well in Dummycrap land.
Oh, and get this. The article lists 5 people by name as examples. Remember the ratio above? It gets scant mention throughout the piece but notice that when identifying the 5 listed voters, the author makes it a point to mention 2 were republicans, 1 was democrat and 2 were unknown. You do the math and see if it correlates with the percentages or if maybe there might be some prejudice and bias the author (or the editor) wished to display by mentioning twice as many Republicans as Democrats.
HMMMMM!?!?!?!

The Results Are In!!!!!
Yes! Ladies and Gentlemen!!! I am proud to announce that the results for the stupidest fucking voters in the US reside in.......drum roll, please...................................
Palm..........Beach..........County........FLORI-DUH!
Yep, these stupid sons of bitches are now complaining that their absentee ballots are too complicated. How complicated? Imagine the name of a candidate on the left side of a ballot; imagine, too, an arrow leading to the name. Now imagine that the line making up the arrow is broken up and in order for the machine to scan it you must complete the "line". In other words, fill in a blank that joins the two lines together. How fucking complicated can that be?
OK, maybe the supervisor of elections down there is none too swift for having come up with/approved this idea but, come on, she's a democrat! (although she recently ran as a person of "no party.")
So what more do you expect from a dummycrap? Oh, and guess what? She was the one who designed the butterfly ballot! She admits that when she's upset instead of talking to her husband she "talks to her dogs." Hell, maybe she mind melds with them and that's how she gets her ideas. OBTW, she's blond. That whole scenario is too priceless!
Back to the question, "how complicated can that be?"
Read what voters did to the ballots back in March:
A Palm Beach Post review of more than 300 absentee ballots cast in this year's March Democratic presidential primary showed that some people circle their choices, put check marks by them and wrote "yes" or "no" next to candidate names...voters have carved holes next to candidate's names

More Third World Lunacy
Just another example of why these people continue to merit the term, "3rd worlders."Mother gives birth to child with defect resulting in longer than normal spine resulting in a protruding tailbone. All of a sudden mother says she had a dream prior to the child being born of someone bringing her a monkey for good luck.
So now the girl is a "monkey girl" paraded about as a novelty while others bring the family money to look at her.
"Her physique is starting to earn a lot of money for the family," Sophal said. "Many locals are lighting incense sticks to pray to her for good luck."
Yeah, I can imagine how much she'll bring in when she's 13 and they sell her ass to profit from it.
Moonbats.

The Gun Show
My expedition to the gun show was a non-event. As I have already written Allan, I paid $12 (5 of them just to park. Now there's another bitch fest waiting to be exploited. $5 to put your car in a place where you might spend one hour. And this is Florida. NOT New York! That ranks right up there with paying those fucktards at Ticketmaster a "service" fee to give you a ticket. You look them up on the web, you look up the event, you pick your seat, you pay for the internet connection allowing you to do all this, you enter your credit card info, and THEY get $5 for the privilege of having you do all the work. Something wrong there.) But I digress.Inside I find a wealth of booths dedicated to leather goods (not holsters); Indian jewelry; cleaning products (not necessarily gun cleaning); food; beverages; WW II and other military paraphernalia; knives; swords; etc. Then there were LOTS of booths for magazines, ammo, holsters.
Lastly, some booths with actual GUNS! (GASP!)
The prices were OK, I guess but the shops were, for the most part, from the other side of the state so if I wanted to buy a gun I'd have to fill out that dumbass form, wait three days and have them ship and insure it whereupon I'd then pay the FFL fee to a local dealer to pick it up. I looked at prices for local dealers and albeit a bit higher, ended up being about the same after you factor in above fees/costs.
Unfortunately, what I wanted my local dealer did not have so I will be paying him a visit since he said he has it in his shop. At this point it'll be a toss-up between a Springfield 1911, a Ruger GP97, Glock 21 or a S&W 45. The other one looks like it will be a Ruger GP100 revolver with 2 speed loaders and 2 grips.
So, all in all, I was not too thrilled with my little trip yesterday. On the plus side, I did learn a few things so I can not be too harsh.
Stay with me today. I have a buttload of stuff to post about.

Quote Of The Day"I think the first virtue is to restrain the tongue; he approaches nearest to gods who knows how to be silent, even though he is in the right."
-- Cato the Elder (234 BC - 149 BC)
On This Day In History
August 23, 1926 - Rudolph Valentino Dies
The death of silent-screen idol Rudolph Valentino at the age of 31 sends his fans into a hysterical state of mass mourning. In his brief film career, the Italian-born actor established a reputation as the archetypal screen lover. After his death from a ruptured ulcer was announced, dozens of suicide attempts were reported, and the actress Pola Negri--Valentino's most recent lover--was said to be inconsolable. Tens of thousands of people paid tribute at his open coffin in New York City, and 100,000 mourners lined the streets outside the church where funeral services were held. Valentino's body then traveled by train to Hollywood, where he was laid to rest after another funeral.
August 23, 1939 - The Hitler-Stalin Pact Signed
On this day in 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union sign a non-aggression pact, stunning the world, given their diametrically opposed ideologies. But the dictators were, despite appearances, both playing to their own political needs. After Nazi Germany's invasion of Czechoslovakia, Britain had to decide to what extent it would intervene should Hitler continue German expansion. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, at first indifferent to Hitler's capture of the Sudetenland, the German-speaking area of Czechoslovakia, suddenly snapped to life when Poland became threatened. He made it plain that Britain would be obliged to come to the aid of Poland in the event of German invasion. But he wanted, and needed, an ally. The only power large enough to stop Hitler, and with a vested interest in doing so, was the Soviet Union. But Stalin was cool to Britain after its effort to create a political alliance with Britain and France against Germany had been rebuffed a year earlier. Plus, Poland's leaders were less than thrilled with the prospect of Russia becoming its guardian; to them, it was simply occupation by another monstrous regime.
August 23, 1989 - Wall Street Reacts To Saddam's Invasion Of Kuwait
The markets took a nosedive and the Dow lost a hefty 76.73 points just a month after it nearly broke the 3,000 point barrier. The culprit for the decline? Wall Street's increasing fears about the Persian Gulf crisis, which began in early August when the Iraqi army rolled into the oil-rich territory of its neighbor, Kuwait. Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein openly declared his intention of annexing Kuwait, prompting President George Bush to deride the invasion as an act of "naked aggression." As Bush and Hussein faced off, oil prices marched upward, in turn triggering the sell-off on Wall Street. Indeed, fears of war and escalating prices were written all over the markets: during the week of the 23rd, the Dow lost 6 percent of its total value.
