Great President - as defined by Obama
Well, he's blown his chance to be a great one-term President, and it's bloody unlikely he'll have a chance to be a mediocre - or any other kind of - two-term President. So where does that leave him? Maybe Barry and Rahm Emmanuel can work up a stand-up comedy act. They can call it the Second City Sleazebags.
Is 'global warming' getting a chilly reception?
Anyone who challenges the global warming claims is usually met with claims of nothing short of blasphemy, normally.
It seems we're seeing increasing evidence that the global warming scientists who make these claims of global doom are being somewhat disingenuous and not telling us, "...the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." Much like athletes who claim they didn't use performance enhancing drugs, we're finding more about how much we've been mislead.
Stolen e-mails show the university Calimatic Research Unit attempted to prevent requests for scientific data and other information. Their scientists have admitted that the rate of glacial melt in the Himalayas have been grossly exagerated, according to a A.P. story. I am mortified!
Always follow the money trail and see who stands to make money if mandates are passed. Remember, these folks receive grants from those who stand to make LOTS of money. They are likely to be disinclined to give those grants to scientists who don't support their agenda.
Much like the Tiger Woods scandal, I believe we're going to find more dirt as we turn over the rocks.

Is there a knick in the Obama Teflon?
Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo, chairman of the Armed Services Committee wasn't bashful about expressing his take on President Obama's performance.
Skelton had the following to say:
"Somewhere along the line, the White House lost it's way. Instead of focusing on solutions to help America's families wade through the wreckage of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s, Washington has wasted valuable time wrestling with partisan politics in a effort to rush through drastic reforms that do not directly address our most immediate needs."

What about all those mortgages that were going to be saved?
How are those promises of millions of mortgages in jeopardy of being foreclosed on being saved?
Well, according to a watchdog group's report, the promise of millions of mortgages being re-negotiated is, in actuality only about 66,000. So, where has all the money gone to? Never mind, Obama wants us to just "trust" him.
And now we're being told Obama's new jobs plan will likely cost $billions. Who wouldn't be in favor of the giving him even more of our hard-earned money to "create jobs" -- even if they are in districts that don't exist? After all, we've seen how well it's worked so far, no? And even if no jobs are really created he can still blame it on Bush; that's been their m.o. so far. I see no sign of it changing anytime in the near future.

Fiscal responsibility, as defined by Obama
Apparently the administration defines fiscal responsibility as boasting you've cut spending by $15 billion and then spending $1.35 trillion that we don't have. He says American families have to do it all the time. Absolutely, I can remember doing that many times.
Obama also is reportedly seeking a partial three-year spending freeze.
Isn't this the same President who chastised President Bush for doing the same thing, claiming that he was taking a hatchet to something that required a scalpel?
Not to worry; rumor has it there are plans for another so-called stimulus package. Things that make you go, hummmmmn? We're going to cut spending by $15 billion but increase spending by $1.35 trillion. We haven't spent the last stimulus money but we're going to request more of it -- possibly for more jobs in those districts that don't exist.
I keep hoping that anytime now someone is going to come up to the American public and tell us that all of this bad joke didn't really happen; that we were just 'punked'.
Update: 02/01/2010
More fiscal responsibility from the anointed one:
After the President made claims last week of fiscal responsibility from his administration he sent Congress a $3.8 Trillion (with a 'T') budget. Is there anything that comes out of this President's mouth that is the truth?

Highest number of jobs lost in one day
In a time when we're bombarded with claims from the administration that millions of jobs have been "saved" or created how do you explain the fact that yesterday set a record for the most jobs lost in one day -- 54,500? Remember, that's in one day.
Here's a reality check: We've lost almost 4 million jobs since this President took office and I'm bored of hearing him constantly blame everything from this mess to acid reflux on his predecessor.
Oh, and how exactly do you prove you saved a job?
Not to worry; I'm certain it will be blamed on George Bush, even though Obama has been in office for a year. This President refuses to accept blame for his policies.

It's not just a river in Egypt
This should dispel any doubts that you may have had as to whether this administration is in denial. The following is a quote from an AP story today:
AP
"The White House is evaluating whether to take a breather on health care or try to push for passing legislation, but is not convinced Massachusetts voters were trying to block health insurance reform by voting last week to send Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Sunday."
Need I say more? Of course I will; what was I thinking?
I'd ask how stupid can they be but it's apparent they're goal-oriented and all we have to do is give them something to shoot for.

Ooops, I've done it again!
No it isn't Brittney Spears singing.
It appears a U.N. Climate Change expert has found more errors in the claims of environmental hysteria.
The Indian head of the U.N climate change panel claimed the Himalayan mountains would be void of glaciers by the year 2035. It seems he was about 315 years off in his Nobel-winning report. It would appear that this isn't the only fallacy in his report. Despite all of the inaccuracies that the global warming alarmists and the media love to parrot as fact, Pachauri claims the false data in the report was an accident and he has no intention of resigning.
This is just one more of a series of revelations about just how far off the rantings of the global-warming crowd is. Will this stop them from continuing to repeat this false data as fact? Not likely. As a matter of fact, I'd lay odds against it. I see that happening about as quickly as I see Sarah Brady and the anti-gun crowd admitting that the report by Prof. Kellerman, claiming that you're "43 times as likely to kill a family member if you own a firearm" report is a farce; despite Kellerman himself admitting the report is flawed because it only defines "defensive use of a firearm" if you actually kill you assailant.
Before I get hate mail from anyone, I'm not advocating that we trash the planet. I live here, too. So do my grand kids. You can't make a bunch of dramatic policy changes (many of which are being steared by foreign countries that really don't like us very much or people who stand to make a LOT of money from this).
Oh well, their mind is made up; don't confuse them with the facts.

Obama wins another one for the GOP
The results are just in and Scott Brown has dealt a stunning defeat to the Democrats in Massacusetts, thanks to the help of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Dems who have had the audacity (to borrow a term from President Obama) to try to ignore the will of the people.
The people have asked for transparency, which Obama promised when he was campaigning and has yet to provide. We said we wanted less government intrusion, in stark contrast to Obama taking over car companies, banks and health care. The Dems have made sweetheart deals to certain politicians in order to try to cram this monstrosity of a bill down our throats.
It is my understanding that Michael Steele of the RNC has suggested that they use part of the RNC's PAC money to send Obama to stump for Democrats in other key races. That's in stark contrast to the Dems who reportedly are sending the President on vacation again till the mid term races are over and even into the 2012 elections. It seems Barack has somewhat of a reverse 'Midas touch'. Everything he touches turns to something quite different than gold. It seems to be a guaranteed defeat for anyone he stumps for. Let's hope he shows up for his own re-election in 2012; it should make things easier for the Republicans to take back the White House.
On the plus side Brown has made a number of positive promises in his acceptance speech. Let's hope he follows through on them and it sends a clear message to the Republicans who made a lot of promises and failed to follow through.
As a final thought one has to wonder if the Democrats will actually choose Obama to carry the torch for them in 2012, as is customary. The Kool Aid drinkers have to be choking on their own Kool Aid and wondering how to spin this as not being a referendum. You know Harry Reid isn't a happy camper; he knows that he's about to join the ranks of the unemployed and the Narcissistic Obama should be realizing by now that the nation is tired of him trying to run the country like it's Chicago. Sleezy politics have been exposed by the man who promised something quite different and the chickens are coming home to roost.

Looking for an alternative to anti-gun AARP?
The following is a reply to my query to American Seniors Association. I consider them to be a much better alternative to AARP. AARP, as you know supports restrictive gun laws and Obama's health care bill. As a matter of fact, they seem to support just about everything that I don't support.

They sent me back a reply stating that they had an obligation to protect the welfare of their members and that was why they gave money to organization of that nature. I wrote back, asking them to explain, logically how they were looking after the welfare of their members wasting the member's money on feel-good legislation.
I'll get to the point: What is the policy of American Seniors Association regarding the private ownership of firearms by law-abiding Americans? I can tell you that I'm already impressed by your refusal to support liberal candidates like AARP does.

Is Obama black enough?
I admit it; I don't understand the consensus from many who describe Barack Obama as 'America's first black President'. His mother was white. Moreover, why would this matter?
Apparently, it does matter to some voters. Despite Obama's popularity being the lowest of any President in history and an historic (speaking of historic) unemployment rate, home foreclosures at a staggering rate and an administration that has no qualms about making promises and breaking them. He and his ilk also have no problem saying they are representing the people, despite the polls showing that the majority are opposed the Obama's health care bill.
It is no shock that blacks have traditionally bought into the claim that Democrats represent blacks more than Republicans. Based on what? The common thread that follows the poorest cities in the nation is they are all ran by Democrats. It has been this way for years. I hasten to remind the reader of the definition of insanity: "Doing the same thing over and over the same way and expecting a different result".
When you ask Obama supporters what, exactly he has done to make the nation better you will often find yourself trying to defend yourself from claims of racism. I personally don't have a problem with us having a black President. There are many blacks who I would vote for in a heartbeat -- not because they are or are not black, but because I agree with their policies.
Two things: 1. My problem with Obama is his policies; not the hue of his skin.
2. Isn't Obama half white?
It appears some of the Teflon is beginning to wear off the President. Still, many blacks continue to defend Obama even if they can't tell you exactly why in any substantive terms.
The administration seems willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the much-hated health care bill is passed. This seems to be a make or break issue for the President. He has a series of failures and his stumping for fellow liberal Democrats hasn't exactly provided guaranteed stellar results. As a matter of fact, it looks to me to be about 0 for 3.
Despite the attempt to lock Republicans out of the health care negotiations and the back room deals given to New Orelans and Nebraska, Dems continue to look into the news cameras and claim the Republicans have been invited to the negotiations but walked away and the negotiations have been the most open in history. Huh?? But who are you going to believe -- the folks who have been caught lying over and over to us or your lying eyes and ears?

NRA board member to run for AZ governor
The Arizona Daily Star has reported that a virtual political unknown is running against current governor Jan Brewer.
He may be an unknown in the political community but certainly not to the gun community.
Owen Buz Mills, owner of the Arizona firearms training center, Gunsite is also on the NRA Board of directors. Mills has thrown nearly $2.1 million of his own booty to run and should prove to be a formidable challenger.
This could prove to be an interesting race.

Fraud within the U.N.? Say it ain't so.
U.N. Aid Agency’s main accomplishment seems to be fraud. Who knew??
According to a Fox News story by George Russell the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) squandered more than $330 million on little known U.N. agency known as UNOPS – United Nations Office for Project Services. Don’t you just love all these acronyms and fancy titles? The money was supposed to be used to carry out development aid projects in Afghanistan, according to Russell. What followed was the typical U.N. chicanery we’ve come to expect from them.
USAID decided to look the other way, rather than address a growing mountain of evidence that pointed to fraud within the organization. It appears that every effort was made to facilitate hiding the fraud and loopholes were created to that end.
The findings didn’t even become public until the report came out on Nov. 19 to the U.S. Senate Subcommittee. The report was originally commissioned by GAO and then hidden for another month, according to Russell.
It wasn’t made public until Dec. 17, just prior to the Christmas break.
Of course Obama will claim this money is needed in order to support the efforts in Afghanistan.
Because new UNOPS rules were changed to give only limited access to Executive Board members no criminal charges are expected. UNOPS members operate under U.N. diplomatic immunity.
And these clowns wonder why we don’t trust them. Imagine that. Not to worry though or in the words of Sean Hannity, “Let not your heart be troubled.” GAO officials have quietly and politely suggested that Hillary Clinton work with them in “continued management reforms”. It could work. I could win the lottery, too.

The blog is Fear and Loading. Catchy title.
I highly recommend visiting Guy's blog often. He has a take-no-prisoners approach to his writing. Even Chuck Norris is afraid of Guy.

AZ lawmaker wants to allow guns on campus
If AZ Senator Jack Harper, R-Surprise, has his way, faculty members will get the chance to carry a concealed firearm on campus.
Harper says the bill would only apply to faculty members at first, rationalizing that his decision to narrow it to faculty members at first is purely political. The long-time Senator says it's best to start with a bill that you think you can get passed and then negotiate from there.
Administrators, clerical staff and even the University President would be excluded from being allowed to legally carry a concealed firearm.
Naturally, we have the usual list of suspects who claim it isn't a good idea to allow firearms on campus. They would include Northern Arizona University spokesman Lisa Nelson. Nelson makes the cliche statement of, "NAU continues to believe that a weapons-free campus constitutes a living and learning environment for a university." Pleeeeeeeeeeease, Lisa. Do you really think someone intent on committing carnage on the university is going to care about your Utopian thoughts of doves flying overhead and candy man dreams? Perhaps you believe the presence of a firearm is going to suddenly turn people into raving lunatics. Maybe your mind works in that manner. The rest of us have a normal-functioning brain.
Pima Community College Chancellor Roy Flores doesn't babble to Nelson's degree, but doesn't fair much better.
UofA spokesman Paul Allvin questions what would happen if "...someone bent on violence were to try to get that weapon [from a faculty member carrying a concealed firearm]."
Well, Pauly, we already know what happens when no one but the bad guy has a weapon, don't we. Maybe we should try it our way and see if it could possibly be any worse than being like a fish in a barrel.

More hypocricy from the anti-gun side
North Carolina State Senator R.C. Soles has never been bashful about making his views clear on private ownership of firearms -- It seems he doesn't believe that you should have one. He does believe that he should have one, though.
When two individuals reportedly broke into his home he allegedly shot one of them. The victim received non-life-threatening injuries.
Soles has always made it clear that he doesn't believe that you and I should have a firearm to defend ourselves, but had no problem using one in defense of himself. He's not looking at charges against him.
There are a number of his ilk who claim we shouldn't be permitted to have firearms to defend ourselves but always seem to have one for themselves. What hypocrites!
When two individuals reportedly broke into his home he allegedly shot one of them. The victim received non-life-threatening injuries.

Once again, the inmates are running the show
Once again, the most overturned appeals court in the land, the 9th circuit has removed any doubt that they are whacked!
In a 2-1 ruling the 9th circuit has deemed that felons in Washington should be allowed to vote.
The ruling was based on what the court deemed to be a disparity in the number of blacks in prison.
Absolutely amazing! Hey, I have an idea; if you are a "person of color" and you want to commit a crime, you'll have to check to see how many blacks are already in prison. If there is a disparity then you'll just have to wait till next fiscal before committing a crime.
Am I the only one who finds this incredibly insane?? There is a disparity of blacks in the NBA and the NFL, too. Should we replace some very talented athletes who have earned a place on the team with a white person who may be less talented in the name of equality?

New York City-Funded Guide Teaches How to Shoot Heroin Safely
Is New York City smoking crack??
The AP story says New York city's Department of health has antied up $32,000 of tax payer money to supply heroin addicts 70,000 pamphlets on how to "prepare drugs carefully and care for veins to avoid infection."
Can you say, natural selection? If you're a heroin addict and you die because you didn't "prepare drugs carefully and care for your veins to avoid infection" and you die -- too bad.
Pardon me if I don't have a proclivity to be PC.

Just dial 911.
The anti-gun crowd is fond of telling us that we don't need a firearm -- that's what the police are for. Just dial 911.
The following was reported in an AP story. 911 wouldn't have helped -- a firearm would possibly made a difference. Couldn't have been any worse.
AP
"MILFORD, N.H. — One of the men charged with killing a woman in her bed told police his only regret was that he didn't also succeed in killing her 11-year-old daughter, who was sleeping in the same room, according to police documents released Tuesday."

"Transperancy"? We don't need no stinking transperancy.
When Obama was campaigning against Hillary Clinton he promised transperancy. He assured us that we would see everything on CSpan so we could all see what was going on for ourselves.
Well folks, it appears he was a crap salesman with a mouth full of samples.
Now, the head of CSpan is calling the President on it. White House spokeman, Robert Gibbs would only say that there has been plenty of transperancy and Nancy Pelosi says there has never been such openess. Huh? This President and his ilk have done nothing but backroom deals, smoke and mirrors and shell games.
How about all of the non-existent jobs that were reportedly created in districts and zip codes that don't exist!
You can fool some of the people some of the time, but this administration is convinced that it can fool all of us all of the time. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."

Shot across the bow
I read the news, watch television and listen to those around me. I generally have some comment on what I observe and I'm not known to be bashful about commenting.
I comment on everything from those who would try to disarm law-abiding Americans to idiots who use their infant child as a shield against being tasered to NYC printing pamphlets, teaching heroine users how to "safely" use needles for their heroine habit. And that's just today. Ergo: the title of my blog. But that's just me.
You don't have to agree with me to post, but you do have to be able to offer some logic for your views.
Have you observed something in the news or witnessed first hand and would like to throw it into the stew? Here's your chance. Bon appetite.
