Irreverent, crass, vulgar and hilarious.
Please, if you are offended by occasional foul language, this is not for you. But some of you will find this political flash animation funny, because it contains truths that most people don't want to talk about. I don’t remember where I came across this first, but I traveled back to see it again.

President's Day 2006

I have been working on this article for sometime, and hoped to have it ready for President’s Day, but didn’t quite get it completed. This is not complete, I will edit this in the upcoming days to make it what I envision. Still I believe you can grasp the emotion behind this article.
FDR reviewing Fleet in San Francisco Bay

*****************************
I admit I know very little about the USS Iowa debate going on in San Francisco, California, but I know enough to have this opinion.

San Francisco is a city with an undisputed rich history as a naval town.

In naval circles, ships are referred to by the endearing term, Lady.
When you see a magnificent ship like the USS Ronald Reagan.


You too might exclaim, “What a Lady”.

The
Lady USS Iowa, deserves a home in some peaceful coastal town* where tourists could visit without having to see the ugly side of freedom.

Lately San Francisco has been acting like a bad step child. The town and area is rife with naval lure and history. The active military personal alone spend tens of millions of dollars in San Francisco each year. It is the US Navy personal (retired or active duty), that spends the most money in and around the Bay area.

I’ll be blunt, this is an American city, and it had a wonderful history of naval activity long before the gays moved to North Beach and started taking over the city. It is one of the most beautiful cities in America, with some of the ugliest people.

You want to see the ugly side of freedom?
There would be no better place to see the ugly side of freedom than San Francisco, California.
Here is a sample of the ugly side of freedom.

YES, OUR MARVELOUS,
NAVY, ARMY,
AIR FORCE, COAST GUARD AND ALL OF OUR MARINES
WORK HARD TO PROTECT THESE *******'S!!!
NO I'M NOT CURSING THEM, I
JUST CAN'T EXPLAIN THESE PEOPLE.
PICTURES FROM AN ANTI-WAR RALLY IN SAN FRANCISCO.







San Francisco does not deserve to host the USS Iowa, and a Military Museum. And if the Navy gives USS Iowa to that city, I would never step foot in that city to visit it. Here is the link to an interview on Fox News Hannity & Colmes with the Councilman who threw a wrench in the Iowa in San Francisco Offer.
If the naval museum should be located in San Francisco, here are a few examples of the citizens you might run into while riding the cable cars to the Bay. Iran looks at SF
I have to give credit where credit is due, and lately more and more Democrats are seeing the peril this nation is in, and are saying enough of this treasonous behavior while our beloved nation is at war for its very existence.
Upon hearing about the opposition to moving the USS Iowa to a dry dock berth on the bay of San Francisco, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-CA. said, "This isn't the San Francisco that I've known and loved and grew up in and was born in." after the San Francisco city supervisors voted to block her efforts to bring the USS Iowa to Fisherman's Wharf. The USS Iowa would have been a major money making tourist attraction for San Francisco.
Even though the World War II battleship has been out of commission for years, and really quite harmless, the thought of that big bad WAR ship had the supervisors shaking in their sandals. No guns in San Francisco, no matter how big or small, how loaded or unloaded. Come on guys, if Sen. Feinstein wants the ship here just how bad could it be?

The Cartoon Wars

Cartoons are for laughter, right? Do you remember any of the Saturday morning cartoons of your youth? I do, even though it has been 50 years since I sat with the family and watched cartoons on a Saturday morning, I remember them. These things stick with you; I still can picture Elmer Fudd with his shotgun, hunting Bugs. “What’s up Doc?”

Compare Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd or Mighty Mouse to these recent cartoons that millions of children in Iran are watching every Friday morning.

If you really and truly want to know why the young boys of Islam are willing to become bombs…..follow one of these links, you will see for yourself. I don’t need to comment about these cartoons, just watch the cartoons.

Ex-Presidents

What's with the ex-presidents?? Not all of them, just C & C. The ones who leave the office only to start bashing the President that America elects to replace them??? Jimmy (couldn't win an election for dog catcher now) Carter is a disgrace to America, and placed some of the most disgraceful judges on benches of justice. If there was justice, Jimmy would be struck dumb. Yes, yes, I know he is dumb, but I was talking about him losing his ability to talk. His droaning voice becomes animated only when he critizing my nation. His speech is banal and irritating. I consider him one of Americas worst Presidents. You'll lose any debate about this, I remember, I lived in America when he ran the show.
And then there is Bill (not too fond of America) Clinton who has been bashing the Man America chose to replace him on a regular basis. Yes, the moment he leaves this nations borders, Clinton puts on that 'Them, not me' mask, and the Euroslugs and Muslims eat his garbage up. If Clinton is speaking overseas somewhere? I'll guarantee you that his speech will contain criticism of America, and some of the speech, down right vicous lies.
Oh those ex-presidents, the ones living large at taxpayers expense???
"But" you say, "they are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to give speeches in France, Egypt and the Gaza Strip".
Think now, it is very expensive to protect our ex-presidents. Just to protect Clinton&Carter on their Bash America trips overseas, costs the taxpayers a bundle of money. Secret Service men and women, pretrip scouting, emergency equipment, security people and security hardware is expensive.
Maybe someone could use the freedom of information act to find out exactly what it costs the taxpayers to protect C & C while they travel overseas to bash America.

And, someone should check the water in the White House, There must be two water sources there, one for Democrats and one for Republicans. The two ex-presidents clinton and carter have not had a good word to say about George W. in 5 years, and have spoken very few good words about America. Can you say ungrateful ********
I have never heard a Republican ex-President act or speak foolishly. I will bet you a dime to a donut when George W. leaves the white house in Jan. of 2009, there will be no need to count the silverware, and he will never speak badly of the nation he led or the President that replaces him. He will be a gentleman. Carter? Clinton?



They prove how unworthy they were of the presidency by what they are saying now.

It's a disgrace, and will help keep Democrats out of the oval office in the future.


A letter to Howard Dean

Although I am not fond of any USofA Senators, here is a letter of one of my state’s Senators, Pat Roberts, that I found interesting. The Senate has been the body of the legislature that has killed, stalled or filibusted much of the fine legislative actions of the House. I have never been able to understand how someone can go to Washington D.C. as my senator, and forget what the people back in Kansas want from our government. It isn't pork, it is a fiscally sound government. Well that is not going to happen. But that is a subject for future articles.

I read this letter, and for a moment thought......

Perhaps this is a sign of the turning of the tide, when Republicans stand up and act like winners? NOT

I would only add a few thoughts directed at Senator Roberts. Senator, the voters of Kansas voted for you to be different than the Democrats. That requires you to stand up and fight, or we will all suffer. I hope this is a first tiny step in that direction.

The following is copied directly from Sen. Roberts website.

Chairman Roberts Reacts to DNC Chairman Howard Dean’s Egregious Comments on Terrorist Surveillance

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, today sent the following letter to Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean:


“I was recently apprised of your assessment of the President’s terrorist surveillance program – an “early warning” capability to intercept the international communications of al Qaeda terrorists to and from persons within the United States. With respect to this important program, you stated, “President Bush’s secret program to spy on the American people reminds Americans of the abuse of power during the dark days of President Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew.” As Chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, I find your statements to be irrational and irresponsible.
“Any suggestion that a program designed to track the movement, locations, plans, or intentions of our enemy – particularly those that have infiltrated our borders – is equivalent to abusive domestic surveillance of the past is ludicrous. When Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson approved the electronic surveillance of Martin Luther King, those Presidents were targeting American citizens based on activities protected by the First Amendment. When President Richard Nixon used warrantless wiretaps, they were not directed at enemies that had attacked the United States and killed thousands of Americans.
“I believe Americans understand that the careful and targeted program authorized by President Bush has no relation to the abuses of the past. Indeed, its closest antecedent is the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt to Attorney General Robert H. Jackson on the eve of World War II. With war looming and reports of lurking enemy saboteurs, President Roosevelt ordered the use of domestic electronic surveillance to target “persons suspected of subversive activities.” As President Roosevelt noted, “It is too late to do anything about it after sabotage, assassinations and ‘fifth column’ activities are completed.” Significantly, President Roosevelt’s direction was issued despite a statute (Section 605 of the Communications Act of 1934) and Supreme Court precedent (United States v. Nardone, 302 U.S. 379 (1937)) that prohibited such wiretapping.
“When President Bush exercised his constitutional authority and responsibility as Commander-in-Chief to target international communications between potential terrorists within this country and al Qaeda members overseas, he recognized, just like President Roosevelt, that after a terrorist attack occurs “(It is too late.” Our nation had been attacked on September 11, 2001, by foreign enemies. We were, and are still, at war with an enemy that Congress identified in an Authorization for Use of Military Force (Pub. L. No. 107-40 (Sept. 18, 2001)). Much of the war against al Qaeda is being fought overseas – Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq. But the war against terrorism is not confined to foreign lands. The war against terrorism is being fought every day in our own backyard. America is a battlefield.
“In peacetime and especially when our nation is at war, our leaders, including the chairmen of our political parties, should be more careful and better informed before they criticize the intelligence programs that protect our nation. Vibrant debate is important in our free society, but that debate should be serious and rational, especially where national security is concerned. Too many are looking at national security issues through partisan lenses. I have seen it on the Intelligence Committee for the past three years. Our nation, and the men and women of the military, law enforcement, and the intelligence community, deserve better.”

Coretta Scott King



The widow of American civil rights legend, Martin Luther King Junior, has died in her sleep at the age of 78, her family announced on Tuesday.

"Her daughter went in to wake her up and she was not able to and so she quietly slipped away. Her spirit will remain with us just as her husband's has," Andrew Young, a family friend and former civil rights activist said.

Ms Scott King died at 0700 GMT of a heart attack at a holistic clinic in Rosarito, Mexico, said institution director Humberto Simanti.

She had also been fighting ovarian cancer and last year suffered a heart attack and stroke.

Her body was being taken to Atlanta, Georgia for burial.

Highlights of this peaceful woman's life......

Born April 27, 1927 in segregated Alabama, Ms Scott King grew up on her parents' farm.

Her father, Obediah Scott, was the first black man in the area to own a truck and then launched a truck-farming business, which drew opposition from white neighbours.

Her mother, Bernice, frustrated that buses took only white children to school, rented a bus to transport black children to classes.

In 1945, after graduating from high school, Ms Scott King followed her older sister to College, where she earned a degree in music and elementary education.

Her sister was the college's first full-time black student.

Ms Scott King went on to study at the New England Conservatory of Music in 1951, where she met her future husband.

The promising singer married Martin Luther King Jr in 1953 immediately supporting his equal rights campaign, often speaking in the Nobel Peace prize laureate's place when he was unable to attend an engagement.

She was with him in 1963 when he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington.

Four days after his assassination in 1968, Ms Scott King led an equal rights march by 50,000 people through the streets of the Tennessee city.

In the following years, while raising four children, she campaigned fiercely to keep alive her husband's husband's message of non-violent change.
