Who wants to fly anymore?

This whole airplane security thing is getting out of hand.

You know, sometimes events have unintended consequences.  What I'm referring too is the fact that I just read on the news that some airlines are now not allowing passengers to get up and move around the cabin during the one hour prior to landing.

Is that bullshit or what?

It sure is.

What are they going to do next?  Put everybody in straight jackets in order to prevent 'a bomber' from doing something bad?  I mean.....it's getting more and more ridiculous everytime somebody does something bad.

I wonder what would happen if a terrorist somehow used a roll of toilet paper to pass a terrorist note?  I guess the airlines would stop putting toilet paper on planes.

Anyway, my point about unintended consequences is that the security situation on airplanes might get so ridiculous that people simply find some other way to travel. There are such things as trains and buses you know.

And personally, I've always felt that lighter-than-air(LTA) flight had a lot of unrealized potential.  Just the idea of floating quietly (i.e. reasonably quietly.....compared to airplane engines) through the sky as the world passes below.......that always sounded great to me.

You know, LTA travel was very popular back before the disasters of the Hindenburg, the Shenandoah and Akron (Google it).  However, there were maybe three major problems that caused it's demise.

• A few of the ships crashed because of weather.
• A few of them blew up and burned because of flammability problems with the hydrogen.
• A few of them cracked up because of stress caused by weather.

Well, I think things have changed.

• We're better at predicting weather now.
• There's more helium around now.......or, as I've always felt, we might be able to find some process to actually generate it artificially.
• Our engineering is better now.

The fact is that LTA flight is already practical notwithstanding a few minor issues. It's just the 'public perception' based on media hype and old facts that keep it from coming back.  Several companies already have made, or have plans, for thoroughly operable types of craft.  I wrote about one of them last year (it's here somewhere).

Or what about 'mag-lev trains....i.e. those trains that float along the track on a magnetic field generated somehow by electricity?

All I know is that airline travel is already a super pain-in-the-ass with this airport screening stuff.  Now it's going to get even worse.  People are going to start looking for alternatives.

Remember a place called Carthage?

I suspect that most of my readers remember at least the basics of a place in the Mediterranean called Carthage.  Actually it was a country and a city.  And at one time it was as powerful as Rome.  In fact, they fought two long wars.  The first one was a stand-ff (I think) but Rome clearly won the second one.

Point is, Carthage was very big, very powerful, very rich and no doubt they thought they would endure forever.  But that's not reality, usually, is it?

Now....remember a city called Detroit?

Whereas Carthage was defeated from without, Detroit has fallen from the heights to the depths largely because of liberal left political and social policies.  Did you know that unemployment in Detroit right now is around 50%?

Yeah.....according to this article in World Net Daily.

Fact is, most Americans want the best for every other American.  I know I sure do.  But it seems to me that 'we' haven't been allowed to run our country and our lives within the parameters of our own values but rather our country has become one big failed experiment for the liberal left and RINO(Republican In Name Only) right.

My prediction is that there will be another American Revolution.  To what extent it's peaceful or otherwise remains to be seen.  But there's no doubt that in a country as big as we are, there's sufficient number of Americans who yearn for an America of principal and true justice again and who most assuredly have a limit beyond which they will not allow their country to be prostituted like it is now.

Seriously........Detroit?  50% unemployment?  That ought not to have happened!!

This is what 'real change' looks like!

Yeah, since uhhhh, Mr. Deceiver-in-Chief has been in charge.

Our government stealing another life

This video is almost enough to make a person cry.  It's another case of our government stealing somebody's life.

Here you'll see a case of a young lady, beautiful, previously in perfect health, with a bright future, cheerleader type.......who simply because she was innocent enough to believe all the crap our government tells us about 'public health safety', she'll probably be handicapped the rest of her life.

She took the flu shot.....the regular flu shot I believe it was.  And as a result of it, now she can hardly talk, she can't walk forward.....and there's probably a few other problems I didn't read about too.

And the flu shot did it.

Yeah.....some innocent health worker gave her that vaccination.  Under the guise of a 'public service'.  Wouldn't it be nie to know who actually did that?  I'll be they'd have a hard time sleeping at night if they knew what happened to this girl because of it.

And this is all about one thing.  Money for the big, thieving, lieing bastard, pharmaceutical companies. 

I think it's criminal.  Yet we live in a society today where somebody can get in more trouble for killing an endangered species cockroach than doing what's been done to this poor, unfortunate young female human being.

Do we need 'real change'? 

You damn right we do!

The newest government health care bill is even worse

I got one of my regular email newsletters from Human Events today.  In it I found some more astounding, although true to character, news about the latest antics of Pelosi and her bunch.

Botten line is that after the American public resounding rejected their first government run health care plan, her and her bunch of congressional crooks have simply come up the essentially the same thing....only worse......and 1000 pages longer.

Bottem line is.....they still don't get it.  They still think that 'we the people' can be ignored.  They still think we're just sheep to be herded around and fleeced periodically.

I suspect that the majority of you are seeing the same info about this that I am.  I mean.......sometimes I wonder what reality those ass-holes in congress are living in.  No matter what we say or do, they just act as if we don't even exist.

Folks, if this isn't a great case for 'term limits', I don't know what is.  But I'll guarantee you one thing.  Our country needs a new generation of socio-political activists.  We've underestimated the depths of the evil that can lurk in the heart of man.  And in this case, I'm referring to the hearts of the majority of our politicians (mostly Democrats).

We need to start putting some chairs through windows and sending those people back to Washington covered with tomatoe paste and banana peels.

Click through here and I'll post as much of the email that I got as I can:

Energy.......things are looking up again.

According to this article, the energy crises is a thing of the past.  The phrase 'cooking with gas' was never more appropriate.  Especiallly in Texas and Pennsylvania.

The article informs us that new technology makes previously unexploitable gas reserves now reachable and extractable.  It's an interesting article and it implies that everything energy related (which is just about everything) will start to prosper again.

How do we treat our old people?

For reasons that I won't go into here, I didn't really have a good relationship with my mother.  Or perhaps I should more precisely say that it wasn't a relationship with very good communication.  She had a lot fo good qualities but she also had some emotional issues that effected her all her life.

Having said that, I can still say that I do respect old people.  Over here in Korea you see even more obviously how respect for old people bolsters a society and comminities.

We used to respect old people in the US too, right.  Remember the old days?  Grandma and grandpa out 'west', grandma and grandpa in the Bronx, grandma and grandpa during the Depression?

And then came.......the AARP.

I'm old enough to join it although I've never considered it.  Nevertheless, I always sorta thought they were a legitimate organization.  Until today.

You're aware of some of the issues involved in this current health care debate, right?  As Rush Limbaugh has often said, "......follow the money."  That's always a factor in these modern times isn't it?

Well, according to what I just read in a news email from Newt Gingrich, the AARP is 'in bed' with the Obama administration and is involved in their brand of despotic, corrupt, self-centered politics.

The issue involves some current legislation effecting the relative competitivness of AARP 'sold' medical supplement plans vs. similar plans from private insurance companies.  The bottem line of it is that if this new, proposed regulation takes effect the AARP stands to profit  quiet nicely at the expense of it's members.  The very people it's supposed to be serving.

Yeah.......it's just another case of 'big' organizations tending to be corrupt.  AARP and the Federal government are both big.  And they're both corrupt.  We should do all we can to take care of our older people and insure that they are treated fairly rather than being considered just another group to be 'screwed over' by some big interest group, like AARP, claiming to represent their interests.

Here's the email:

Mr.Prez........mind your own damn business!

That's right, Mr. Deceiver-in-Chief, why don't you do your own job and leave parenting to the parents.  I noticed a couple of days ago that you plan on addressing the 'nation's children...'.

Well, they don't need to hear from you.  They need their parents.  If you'll do your part in making this a country where parents have the time and money to raise kids correctly, they parents will take care of the kids just fine and America will be great again.

I notice in this article that lots of parents feel the same way I do.  They're not as stupid as you and your liberal Democrat friends think they are.  They can see through your thinly veiled efforts to 'recruit' the nation's kids into your worthless 'real change' cult.

Anybody who knows anything about life, and history, knows that the nations future is in the hands (and heads) of it's kids.  And they know that you can change a nation's future by changing the kids.  And they can see that that's the kind of 'real change' you want.

For a President that doesn't even have the balls or the respect for the American people and the country's institutions to provide simple, irrefutable proof that he's actually legally entitled to be President of the USA, you gotta lot of nerve making this grab for the minds of the nation's children.

Of course, knowing how you look at things.....i.e. that you are the holy, incarnate embodiment of 'the nation', it's understandable that you feel entitled to try to recruit some cute little acolytes to carry on the tradition and make your claim on the throne more permanent.

I got news for you though.  You're not the god-President.

But really........just do your own job.  Let kids be kids. 

How'bout reducing taxes, how'bout making government smaller and not bigger, how 'bout stopping the illegal immigration that's killing our country from the inside out,  how'bout making English the official language of our country, how'bout bringing our troops back home and letting those other ungrateful countries earn their own democratic institutions, how'bout abolishing or sharply reducing the capital gains taxes so American industry can start growing again, how'bout eliminating inheritance taxes so families can accumulate some real wealth, how'bout doing something concrete to give America true energy independance, how'bout getting both 'the Fed' and the UN out of our lives.......

How 'bout doing your frigging job? 

You got no business addressing America's kids.  That's the worst thing they could do if they ever want to be successful.  They got no business paying one nickle's worth of attention to you.  That's the dumbest thing they could do if they ever want to amount to anything of substance.

Mr. Deceiver-in-Chief........just mind your own business.

Does this video make you as sick as it does me?

Look at this video I found referenced on Drudge Report.  When you see these Democrat members of the committee sucking up to her and bullshitting like they're doing, does it make you as sick as it does me?

Why didn't somebody just nominate Dr.Suess or Snow White or Helen Keller?

Screw the Fed!!

Me and a lot of other Americans are sick and tired of having our lives meddled in and, in fact fucked up, by an organization that's not subject to any transparency or accountability to our nation's laws.  I'm talking about the Federal Reserve.  You'll remember that I've posted numerous videos here about that foul bunch of 3 piece suit hooligans.

Most objective observers and commentators agree that the Federal Reserve has not only not been good for America but has instead been an impediment to free market capitalism and it's potential benefits for America and Americans.  So why is it still there?

The Federal Reserve is still there because it's still 'politics as usual' in our nation's butt-hole.....er, uh.....our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.  More specifically the Fed still survives because of corrupt politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, et.al.

But the times they are a'changing.  The revolutionary spirit that birthed America isn't dead yet.  Ron Paul's amendment to audit the Fed is gathering steam and has not only lots of grass-roots support throughout all segments of America but also good support amongst Congress. 

Were it not for the stonewalling efforts of useless clumps of psuedo public servants like like Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank, who are holding up this vitally important legislation with normally unobserved Congressional procedural rules, regulations and loopholes, Congressman's Paul's legislation to audit the Fed would very probably be on it's way to becoming law as we speak.

What can we do about it?  Here's some ideas:

And here's the page URL that video came from....it's called "Break The Matrix".
