ISRAEL MUST DESTROY HAMAS

Israel has unleashed its fiercest attacks on Hamas in decades. Nothing short of completely taking down the entire terrorist group will solve the Palestinian question. Hamas will never agree to a meaningful peace. Any cease fire will only be used to rebuild and re-arm.
 
Again we hear cries from the UN and Europe and some in the US for Israel to halt their attacks. Isreal gave in to pressure in Lebanon when they should have destroyed Hezbollah. Today there is a report Israel may agree to a new cease fire. This would be a terrible mistake. These butchers from the 7th century only understand violence and power.They do not respect negotiation, it is a sign of weakness. Until the world grasps this fact there will be no end to the Global war on terror of which Hamas is only a small part.
 
Instead of calling for more cease fires. we and the rest of the world should support Israel in their action. Unfortunately this will not happen. Isreal WILL be pressured to end their attack before complete victory which will allow Hamas to regroup and claim victory.
 
I detest violence, BUT the quickest way to bring real peace to this barbaric part of the world is to defeat and control the entire region. Until the Muslim world stops humiliating themselves by throwing shoes and firing old and inacurate rockets and are forced to finally join the 21st Century there can be no peace.
 
This week there have been demonstrations in Europe against Israel. Why are there never protests against the barbarism of the Muslim World? Why does not NOW and Code Pink and other Woman's groups take to the streets in support of poor Muslim woman who are treated like dogs by so called "men" who think they are tough by beating their wives and hiding their terror headquarters behind women and children. Where are the protests over the lack of Religious freedom, and freedom of assembly and the Press and the Right for Woman to an education and a job?
 
Why are Liberals in Europe and the U.S always on the wrong side? They protest Israel's actions and remain silent about the depravity of the real enemy. Why do they not understand that in any country where the barbarians gain control it will be the Liberals who are the first to be tortured then slaughtered.
 
Maybe I am in the minority, but I applaud Israel and her strength in the face of horrific adversity. My wish for the New Year is that she finally defeats all those who swear to destroy her, including Iran. Until that complete victory over this evil there can be no peace.   
 
Israel MUST destroy Hamas while she can!

...AND THE LORD, FINDING DISPLEASURE WITH THEM ALL, RAINED DOWN...SHOES UPON THEM!

Apparently in the Arab world which is so easily insulted, one of the worst insults is to have shoes thrown at you.Some fool in Iraq, a so-called Journalist (he doesn't work for MsNBC Does he?) used his new found freedom of speech, won for him by guess who? YES! George Bush! to make a statement by throwing his shoes at the President.
 
I suppose as Americans we should be highly insulted. Bush as President is  the symbol of our Country, so by tossing his shoes at Bush he was insulting us all as well. I don't feel insulted.I think its a hoot that these people get all worked up into a lather over shoes! No wonder their culture is stuck in the 7th century.
 
In the Arab nations revenge is very important. Since we have been insulted by them this can not be allowed to stand, either in shoes or bare feet!.
 
Here is my plan: America, Isreal and the Brits gather up all the raunchy, smelly, dirty shoes from our garbage dumps and load them on the largest transport planes we have. We fly as high as possible over the Arab nations and fill the air with... SHOES! This is Doable! The Isrealies will help simply because they can. The Brits will join us because it will be jolly good fun! Think of it! from the ground it will look as if the sky opened and shoes fell from Heaven. Every one looking up at them, and getting hit by them will feel they have been insulted. Since the shoes will appear to fall from Heaven they will of course believe God has found such disfavor with them, even with all the enslavement, butchery, homocide bombings, beheadings and torture they have done in his name.They will not be able to comprehend how God could insult them this way. It will shatter every thing they believe.Their entire culture and religious institutions will collapse over night! They will have been....SHOED from above!!!!
 
The war on terror will be won!

UAW PRESIDENT HAS THE GALL TO BLAME THE GOP! BUSH WILL USE TARP FUNDS!

Just when you think you have heard everything, Liberals find ways to raise the bar in unmitigated arrogance and gall. Today the President of the UAW blamed the GOP for the failure of their bailout bill to save their carcasses.
 
The GOP is responsible for not bailing out greedy Union execs only worried about their own positions. Who brought the Auto industry to the point of bankruptcy? Who has caused the loss of tens of thousands of AMERICAN manufacturing jobs already ? The GOP? NO! The UAW. Who refused to bring wages and benefits in line with their competitors who make a PROFIT building cars here in America? The UAW! Who caused the collapse of last night's agreement? The UAW!
 
Let me get this straight. The Auto execs and especially the UAW leadership over the years crippled their own companies with slip shod cars no one wanted at costs that drove Americans to foreign cars. Now, when faced with total collapse, the same American taxpayer must be forced to bailout an Industry that just doesn't get it. Their own gluttony, greed, political power hungry policies have caused their plight and WE, the taxpayers are supposed to support them? We are supposed to allow them to continue to rape an industry already on the brink? WE must pay them to keep their Union jobs? to support their UAW bosses? What the hell is going on here? What is so hard about the concept of becoming COMPETATIVE? If you price yourself out of the market too bad! 
 
I understand the ramifications of a total loss of the Auto Industry, but that is not goint to happen. Bankruptcy would force them to renegotiate debt and union contracts - to become leaner and more competative. That is the heart of this situation, the Unions do not want to be in a position of agreeing to terms that would compensate their members at levels already enjoyed by NON-UNION AMERICAN auto workers. What need would there then be for the Union? EXACTLY! NONE! ZIP! Good riddance!!
 
Our nation has lost the garment industry, the electronics Industry, most of the auto industry and on and on due to greedy UNIONS! NOT the GOP! If any political party is to blame it is the Democrat Party which has been in bed with Union bosses for decades content to see industry after industry fall victim to unreasonable union contracts as long as the unions kept filling their campaign coffers.
 
Unfortunately, George Bush, in an effort to salvadge what is left of his Administration, will use TARP funds to circumvent the Senate. What a shame! Once again a Republican will toss out capitalist principals - Conservative principals, for political expediency.
 
If there are no spelled out condidions that Industry costs MUST be brought in line with their competition then we will only be wasting more money. Gauranteed in 6 months they will be back hat in hand begging for more, and having thrown away 15 BILLION Dollars, Congress will feel obligated to give it to them in hopes they will stay alive. We are already In the mortgage and Finance Industry, soon the Auto Industry. Where and when does it stop? We all must make it clear to our so called Representatives...NO MAS!!!!! If you are part of the problem your butt is outta there come 2010 or 2012!

DEMOCRATS AND THE CULTURE OF CORRUPTION

WELL ,WELL!! MY OH MY!!! mmm mmmmmm! Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich frog marched out of his Chicago home accused by the Feds of a Coruption crime spree culminating in an attempt to sell Barack Obama's Senate Seat to the highest bidder.
 
This week Ahn "Joseph" Cao, a Republican in Lousiana defeated Bill "Cold Cash" Jefferson for a Congressional seat. Jefferson is the Democrat with $90,000 in FBI marked cash in his freezer soon to be tried on corruption charges. NY Gov Elliot Spitzer forced to resign in a sex scandle. Charles Rangle under investigation,Al "Where's the TV Camera" Sharpton fighting Chuckie Schmuckie Schumer and Jessee Jackson for TV time to cash in on any issue they think will bring them publicity.
 
For years all we heard from Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Harry Reid was that the Republicans had created a Culture of Corruption. President-Elect Obama comes out of the Mother of all Cultures of Corruption - Chicago Politics. Daly, Blagojevich, Rezko, Rev, Wright,Father Phlager. Louis Farrakhan ,Bill Ayers, Dan Rostankowski, are just a few of the Sons of Machine Politics that spawned the meteoric rise of one Barak Obama.
 
It is utterly amazing how someone who we are told is nothing short of a political genious, someone who will change the whole world, can associate with these charactors, can grow up politically inside the infamous Chicago Political Machine and know so little about what is going on around him. Once again Obama has taken to the airwaves to deny any knowledge of Political matters which in Chicago are the rule not the exception., He is either astonishingly naive or a fool! He gets special treatment for a home loan helped by his friend Rezko and claims no knowledge of his activities that got him convicted. He spends 20 years - TWO DECADES under the wing of The Rev Wright yet knew nothing of what Wright professes and stands for. Bill Ayers?? Why, he was only 8 when the mad bomber of DC was running amuck. He was just a neighbor, hardly knew the guy except to endorse his book and serve on boards with him, and who hosted fundraisers for him. Phlager? he is a Priest who does nothing but good for the down trodden of Chicago, Same with the racist and anti-semite Farrakahn.
 
Along comes the Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich . The FBI was shocked at the depth of his corruption, he even tried to shake down a children's Hospital for a donation! One of Obama's closest advisors, David Axelrod claimed Obama discussed who would succeed him as Senator with the Gov, yet now Obama says that never happened, he hardly knew the Governor of his state! Never discussed his Senate seat with him! Did he? didn't he? As Liberals said over and over about Repiblicans, it is the nature of the charges that is important, not neccessarily wether they are true or not. That is why there must be Congressional investigations! Prosecutor Fitzgerald should be named Special Porsecutor and given broad powers to investigate not only Gov Blago but the whole corrupt, tangled web of Chicago politics. I would think Obama, who promised the most transparent administration, would be happy to have Fitzgerald investigate the political cesspool he knows nothing about!
 
Certainly, Barack Obama does not want to begin his Administration with even a hint of a cloud over him, Certainly he would want he and all his cronies - that is associates, to be cleared of any taint of this Democratic Culture of Corruption. That is why I am calling for a full and complete investigation into the Democratic Machine in Illinois. The charge of my President being profoundly naive or a fool or worse - a liar - needs to be cleared up now. What did he know and when did he know it needs to be answered. Great leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid I am sure will be anxious to rid their Party of this Culture of Corruption once and for all. I am sure we will see Pelosi calling for Congressional investigations any day now! I am waiting...... patiently...

WHAT DEM LEADERS REALLY THINK ABOUT AVERAGE AMERICANS

We all knew that while Democrats profess to be the party of the people. the party who is for the common man, the reality is they only care about people as victims. Their real love is POWER. Their real concern is their own pomposity. Last week we got confirmation of their true feelings from "dingy" Harry Reid, who, while discussing the new Visitors Center opening, described how the poor legislators had to suffer from the stench of visitors troding through the old center.
 
Just who were these malodorous visitors? Have you ever been to the Capitol Building? If so than they are YOU! You were an offense to the senses of your ELECTED OFFICIALS! It should not be surprising but it never fails to amaze me the arogance and contempt to which Democrats hold average Americans. If you are not from the eleitist North East ,from Boston or Connecticut, or from LA or San Francisco, then you stink! You exist only to vote like sheep for those enlightened ones like Reid, Nancy "Stretch" Pelosi, Bawney Fwank, Osama Obama, Teddy "Hic" Kennedy, et al.
 
It was bad enought to find out from The Messiah, Obama The Great, that average Americans cling  to our guns and Religion out of fear and or stupidity, but now we find out we stink as well. We can not possibly survive in the job market place without Union bosses and Dems telling us how to do our jobs and how much our labor is worth. 
 
When Americans exercise our RIGHTS and vote down bad policy like Proposition 8 in California, or oppose amnesty for illegal aliens, or demand we drill our own oil on our shores we do not know what we are doing. We are fools, ignorant, stupid.
 
If we didn't stink up the Capitol building and weren't so stupid we would realize Al "Gas Bag" Gore is RIGHT that all Global warming is man made and there is no need at all for further discussion - Case Closed!
 
If we didn't stink we would see how fair the "Fairness Doctrine" really is. We would understand that secret ballots for Union elections is a terrible idea, that what REAL AMERICAN would vote against joining a union?
 
If we didn't stink up the joint we would not insist the UAW renegotiate bloated outdated and uncompetative contracts before we bail out THEM and the Auto execs. How can we be so stupid? Why don't we listen to Obama and our Dear Democrat leadership who truly know what is good for us all?
 
Whatever stench wafted through the Capitol building came not form the Citizens but from our so called Leaders. From speech after speech by blowhards, Gas Bags, and egomaniacs in love with the sound of THEIR own voices who can not stand the screechy, shrill, off key voices of the lowly American People who put them there. They look down their long pointed noses at US, yet they are the ones who ruined our economy, who caused the mortgage meltdown and the failure of manufacturing.They are the ones who tax and spend us out of every economic recovery.
 
The democrat leadership are not the only ones offended by average folk. Their lackeys, the Main Stream Media also loath anyone not in the Beltway or on the Left Coast. That is why there is no outcry over Reid's crass remarks. They find nothing wrong with what he said!!
 
We should all appologize to our elected Democrat leaders for offending their senses. Perhaps we should all send them clothes pins to protect their snouts from our offensive essence even as they line up at the slop trough to feed on dollars provided by - US! Think of how angry the tree huggers will be by all the trees felled to replace the clothes pins we flood D.C with!
 
2010 is not that far away. Let us all work to truly air out the Capitol by replacing the real source of the offensive odor - and let us start with Reid, Fwank, Pelosi, Dodd and the rest of the gas bags.

MUMBAI AND BAILOUTS AND PIRATES, OH MY!!!!!!

Seems like all hell has broken out in the 4th quarter of 2008. The Third quarter had us in the midst of what seemed like the longest Presidential Election in History. It wouldn't end. We were having the Conventions, and the Price of Oil had hit $147.00/barrel and everyone was calling for Off Shore Oil drilling. Nancy Pelosi closed out Congress for a five week vacation and Republicans stayed behind to demonstrate for more drilling. Sarah Palin was named VP choice for McCain..then  WHAM! BANG!! POW! We were hit with the mortgage melt down crisis. Banks and financial institutions were in a caravan to DC with their hands out for MONEY! LOTS of MONEY! It ended up $700 BILLION DOLLARS worth! Here is what I want to know: Why do we the tax payers have to give banks "loans" at 3 Percent while they charge us 18 percent and higher for credit cards????? Who is bailing US out? Bring back the usuary laws! Lower OUR interest rates in exchange for these handouts of our money! Someone - ANYONE start looking  out for US for a change!
 
Two months earlier Congressman Bawney Fwank and Sen. Chris "Odd" Dodd declared Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to be sound. Now they want oversight of the bailout bucks! If that wasn't enough, the Auto makers announced they needed at least $25 BILLION or they would go under. No bankruptcy, just hand over the dough. No restructuring, no renegotiating outrageous union contracts, NOOOOO!! The bucks, just the bucks, they cried as they flew into Washington in their corporate jets. If that weren't enough, now states like California and Pennsylvania are looking for bailouts.
 
Not only were we facing the worse economic crisis in 70 years but so was the rest of the world. As we are still reeling from this crisis, Piracy of all things has come back into prominence. PIRACY!! in 2008! and we do not seem capable of doing anything about it.
 
Into this mix, Barack Obama gets elected President of The United States. Almost immediately we hear from the FBI that there is possibility for a terrorist attack on NYC rail and or subway system during this Holiday Season. Just to bring this threat home we have the massacre in Mumbai India ending with the torture and murder of 6 Jews. The Perps??? Take a guess! Islamic militants with ties to Pakistan. India and Pakistan both have Atomic bombs. Speaking of THE BOMB we now hear Iran will have their A-Bomb within the year if not sooner! I would rather see North Korea with The Bomb. Iran can NOT be allowed to produce Atomic weapons. What will Obama do? Does he have the will - the GUTS to do what he must?  What will Isreal do? What does he do about Pakistan and the terrorist holed up there thumbing their noses at us - preparing to attack us again if given the chance?
 
If it seems like the world is going to hell in a hand basket you are right. We have pots boiling over all over the place. Is Obama up to all these crises? Are they above his pay scale? Will he be able to make final decisions othere than voting present? After all, he has no record, no history. I guess we will find out soon enough. His cabinet choices bode well. There are no far left nut job bomb throwers or pacifists among them. Will they be able to counter the far left pull on Obama? I hope so for America's sake.
 
We are in the midst of a very important period in our Nation's history. Since we are still in it we cannot truly know the full dimensions of the gravity and importance. As we begin to celebrate the Christmas Season - the birth of our Savior, let us all pray that God will be with us and our leaders in this time of crisis. Let HIS will be done, not ours. However we can not just sit back and watch things rush by us and consume us. Americans are doers! We will survive and prosper again!

While it has been quite here, the rest of the world is still a mess. Mumbai massacre shows how vulnerable we still are. The Feds have issued a warning for New York area transist system during this Holiday season. More on this in a future Post. The hands are still outstretched looking for bailouts!. I have a big question, Why do we taxpayers have to bailout Huge banks with 3 % loans while WE have to pay THEM 18% and higher on credit cards??? Where is OUR relief??? Bring back the usuary laws!!!!!!
 
So Obama has begged...I mean convinced Hillary to join his team as Secy of State. Didn't he say during the primary campaign her only experience was sipping tea with foreign leaders??? Didn't he say she had NO DIPLOMATIC experience??? Then again neither does he.
 
I am going to cut this short.. We in Tampa Bay area have a Tornado Watch up till 5PM today and already getting high winds!! We are supposed to get svere T-Storms this afternoon and evening. I will try and get on in between storms and visit all your blogs and catch up!
