Obama’s New Energy Policy: A Lesson in Stealth Socialism

New article at Pajamas Media - well worth the reading.

H/t the author - Confederate Yankee

Radio N9ETJ is on the air

Well, I will be when I get my Morse speed back, anyway. Got the vertical erected, and ran a cable out to it yesterday - so now I can listen and practice my receiving again.

Email to John Boehner

Sent this:

Do you really think cutting a few measly billion from a multi-trillion deficit is going to do more than waste our time?

We are spending 44% more than we take in now. How about cutting the budget by 50% and then look into keeping it below projected tax income?

Planned Parenthood is not a critical service. Paying servicemen is. ObamaCare is definitely not required.

Figure out how to get us out from under Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and all the other insane "entitlements" now in place.

Stop wasting our time. Shut the federal government down, so people can see how useless 99% of it really is.

+++++++++++++++++++

Feels good, anyway.

Another missive to Kohl

Useless, as usual, but I did it:

Senator Kohl,

End the budget deadlock. Cut federal spending by at least 50%.

Start with Social Security, that Ponzi scheme foisted on us by FDR and ever since meddled with by you guys.

End Medicare and Medicaid.

End ObamaCare.

Do this NOW.

NOW.

This is an order from your bosses.

Cut spending by 50% NOW.

Note - Salaries of servicemen are NOT negotiable. Cut defense expenses by bringing our guys home and ending our involvement in Mr. Obama's illegal wars.

Effects of a government shutdown

are evidently not all that visible, unless you visit a park. As an FFL holder, I have to do NICS background checks on prospective gun buyers.

Just got this from the FBI:

The NICS will be operating with a limited staff if a furlough takes place.  The staff will be handling all incoming calls and working NICS transactions in the event of a furlough.

So, Brady checks are apparently "essential governmental functions".

The Memory Hole is alive and well

and working at Associated Press. Only problem is - Big Brother isn't omnipresent yet.

Instapundit caught 'em at it.

Osama made a callous remark to a questioner - sort of a Marie Antoinette thing. Screen shot from that website:






Jesse Jackson shows his true colors

Here:

Money quote:

“You have those who believe in states’ rights and those who believe in a more perfect union,” he said. “States’ right are anti-civil rights, anti-workers’ right to bargain, anti-social justice, pro-rich and significantly insensitive to poor people — that was the great divide 150 years ago and it’s the great divide today in the ideological sense.”

A "more perfect union" evidently means a very powerful federal government that dictates to the several states, and violates the Constitution at every turn. Something like what we have right now - and are working hard to undo.

States' rights are what the Constitution is all about. That's why the Tenth Amendment is there.

Progressives?

Why do Luddites and people who want to return us to the peace and safety of the cold, dark cave, keep calling themselves "progressives"?

I always thought "progressives" were people who wanted "progress" - not retreat from the real world. Sort of like "liberals" were for "liberty" and "gay people" were happy much of the time.

Stupid me.

Prosser wins! (?)

Somehow, several whole towns and cities were omitted from the official vote count, and now Judge Prosser looks to have won by "a few thousand votes".

Too bad for Kloppenburg that she decided to do the imprudent thing and announce victory with such a small advantage. 204 votes out of over a million is too thin to crow about until after the recount. Now, she looks just like so many other lefty-liberal douche bags who make statements that make then look dumb.

It ain't over until the official count is finished, and 7500 votes is still a very small margin with around 1.5 million votes cast, so still finger-crossing time.

Geolocation

Many programs and products have "geolocation" capability. This sends out your location whenever you surf or email, or make a phone call.

If you don't want anyone tracking you, check this out. How to Disable Geolocation

Voter fraud?

Mequon destroying ballots? Probably, because Prosser led Kloppenburg 72% - 28%.

Kloppenburg's 200-vote "win" might just evaporate right there.

How many more instances will we see?

Interesting times.

Supreme Court race

As of 5:30 AM, it's too close to call. Prosser leads by about one thousand votes.

Considering that Joanne Kloppenburg was a lawyer nobody had heard of (unless you were a farmer run afoul of the Wisconsin DNR), this demonstrates how much out-of-state liberal money and effort was poured in to try and reverse the last general election through judicial activism. All the usual suspect counties (liberal, Demonrat, and union) had huge majorities for the left-liberal puppet, while the rest (sane) counties in the state had comfortable numbers for Prosser.

Tooth-grinding time.

Update 9:00 AM - Prosser is ahead by about 600 votes. Since we still don't have a means of checking if a "voter" is really eligible - or who he/she claims to be -  I've got to wonder how many illegals voted, how many dead voted, etc.
