It has been a long while since I've posted on here. Got depressed about Obama's re-election in 2014. Spent a few years at one job and then moved on to another one. It is now January 2018 and Trump was elected as president, with alot of reluctant votes. But, he has been a very excellent president so far. He is very pro-America and is doing much to undo the regulations and scams that Obama and the liberals in DC have enacted onto America.<br />
<br />
My new job stinks. Not sure how long I'll be able to stay here. I'll be posting more now that I'm getting back in to the groove.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-76796874725071780142012-01-29T17:35:00.002-06:002012-01-29T17:46:11.896-06:00Which Republican To Vote For In 2012Seriously. Anyone voting for Chancellor Obama in 2012 is anti-American and only wants socialism and the destruction of the American dream.<br /><br />So, who to vote for in the Republican Party.<br /><br />Ron Paul? Only if you hate Israel, believe in segregation, racism, international isolation and radical tin-foil hat conspiracy theories. So, no.<br /><br />Newt Gingrich? Only if you want another Republican who does believe that the government has a place in American lives implementing policies much like FDR and Wilson enacted. However, he does believe that people's lives depend on their own personal responsibilities.<br /><br />Mitt Romney? Only if you really want a progressive RINO and believe that the role of government is to take care of everyone's needs. Vote for him only if you care about looks and electability and not principles.<br /><br />Rick Santorum? This is our only conservative hope. He is the only one who understands the non-differences between ObamaCare and RomneyCare. He understands the economic destruction that awaits us if we do not fix our budget mess.<br /><br />After listening to Mitch Daniels on the Republican Party's rebuttal speech to Chancellor Obama's State of the Unions speech, I wish he was running this year. He is so far the only one that had the audacity to call Obama a liar and a utter failure.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-47115676358584782202012-01-24T19:58:00.003-06:002012-01-24T20:08:30.144-06:00OH COME ON!! Time To Get Liberals Out Of WarIt is high time that we get liberals, let alone politics, out of the management of our wars. When politics start making decisions, our soldiers die unnecessarily. There is no place that our soldiers should have to second guess their fire-no-fire decisions in fear of POLITICAL repercussions. When our soldiers are on the battlefield and are trying to kill our enemies, they should not be held back on the basis of placating some political figure. <br /><br />Especially when that political figure is a foreign politician.<br /><br />Prepare to get your blood boiling. This is a travesty of justice my friends. <br /><blockquote>Joshua Waddell, a first lieutenant in the U.S. Marines, appeared on his way to a stellar career as an American military officer. The son of a retired Navy SEAL commander, Waddell had won a Bronze Star during his first tour of duty in Afghanistan and had returned for a second.<br /><br />Then he made a decision in combat that military experts say has severely jeopardized his future in the corps.<br /><br />On Nov. 1, Waddell, a 25-year-old executive officer with 3rd Battallion, 7th Marine Corps Regiment, was monitoring a surveillance camera in Sangin, Afghanistan, when he spotted a man who had been identified as a bomb maker working with area insurgents. Two days earlier, a sergeant from India Company had lost both legs and a hand when a bomb detonated in their area of operation. The man spotted on the camera was believed to be responsible.<br /><br />After receiving permission from his battalion commanders, Waddell ordered Marine snipers to open fire on the man, and he was hit. A group of Afghans rushed to the man, put him on a tractor and attempted to flee. Waddell ordered the snipers to hit the engine block of the tractor, disabling it so the man believed to be a bomb maker would not escape. The tractor was hit but no civilians were injured.</blockquote>If the story was to stop there, he would probably be awarded another medal. He received authority to take out a bomb-maker and to make sure he DIED. The bomb-maker was being rescued by people who put themselves in to the battlefield. They decided to put their lives on the line to try and save our enemy. Remember the mantra, "if you are not with us, then you are against us"? Or how about, "If you protect our enemies, you will be our enemy"? (I paraphrase, but that is the gist of the Bush administration's war plan). Yet......<br /><blockquote>Then, about three weeks later, the civilians who helped remove the wounded man from the area were found to be teenagers.<br /><br />As a result, Waddell was demoted from executive officer, and the battalion commander, Lt. Col. Seth Folsom, determined he had violated rules of engagement that governed when Marines could fire, and at whom. Folsom said Wadell "is not recommended for promotion" and "in violation of [combat rules] during an engagement." The report stated that "noncombatant local nationals" were in the area of direct fire and that "the engagement resulted in a damaged local national vehicle."</blockquote>And yet, his higher ranking superiors are throwing their hands up in helpless wonder. BULL CRAP. If you believe a member of your battalion, a soldier under your command, is being shafted, YOU HAVE TO GO TO WAR FOR YOUR FELLOW GRUNT. <br /><br />If our military command can not even stand up and defend this decorated soldier, then we have some generals to replace.

Megaupload, a file-hosting service that allows users to upload files to their own accounts and then share links to those files with others, has been raided like they were mass murderers. Their assets and hardware were seized across the globe and arrested like master criminals. <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/21/us-internet-piracy-megaupload-idUSTRE80K07Q20120121">Even the news article</a> makes it seem as if making money by selling bandwidth and storage was illegal.<br /><blockquote>New Zealand police on Saturday revealed bizarre details of the arrest of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">suspected kingpin of an Internet</span> copyright theft case against<span style="font-weight: bold;"> the James Bond-like backdrop of a country mansion hideaway with electronic locks, a safe room and a pink Cadillac</span>.</blockquote>See, he's a real crazy scumbag isn't he. A veritable KINGPIN living in an obviously crazy life that we all know makes him a suspect. I mean, who owns a Pink Cadillac but a Master Kingpin of the Internet?<br /><br />Me wonders how the media would portray Howard Hughes today?<br /><blockquote>The group was <span style="font-weight: bold;">accused of engaging in a scheme</span> that took more than $500 million away from copyright holders and generated over $175 million in proceeds from subscriptions and advertising.</blockquote>I'm sorry: "a scheme" ?!?! It was an obvious and overt business arrangement that provided a service to internet users across the globe who wanted to connect with people and share information. People freely and willingly of their own accord subscribed to their service and paid to advertise on their site. How was this an underhanded scheme to bilk copyright holders? <br /><blockquote>A police official said<span style="font-weight: bold;"> dozens of officers, backed by helicopters, forced their way into the mansion,</span> nestled in lush, rolling farmland, after Dotcom refused them entry,<span style="font-weight: bold;"> a scene more reminiscent of a high-octane spy drama than the usual policeman's lot in rural New Zealand</span>.<br /><br />"<span style="font-weight: bold;">Despite our staff clearly identifying themselves, Mr Dotcom retreated into the house and activated a number of electronic-locking mechanisms</span>," said Detective Inspector Grant Wormald from the Organised and Financial Crime Agency New Zealand.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Officers broke the locks</span> and Dotcom barricaded himself into a safe room which <span style="font-weight: bold;">officers had to cut their way through to gain access</span>.<br /><br />"Once they gained entry into this room, they found Mr Dotcom near a firearm which had the appearance of a shortened shotgun," he said. "<span style="font-weight: bold;">It was definitely not as simple as knocking at the front door."</span></blockquote>I would say not. At least in America, one does not have to allow policemen entry in to your home. And if they break in, you are allowed to defend yourself. He felt he was being attacked and retreated to a safe room. The officers broke in to his home like criminals themselves. If this was all on the up-and-up, then how come there is no mention of an arrest warrant?<br /><br />And we see here again, that the USA's FBI is directing law enforcement in other countries. This makes no sense. Anyway, again, we see here an attempt to paint this man as a crazy loon that must be arrested for the good of society. And the tar and feathering gets worse<br /><blockquote>The house where Dotcom was arrested was one of the largest and most expensive in the country, worth around NZ$30 million.<br /><br />Dotcom leased the property after being blocked from buying it last year by the government after failing to meet a "good character" test for migrants, although he was granted residency in 2010.<br /><br />Dotcom has previous convictions for insider trading and embezzlement from his time in Germany and Thailand, according immigration authorities, leading some opposition politicians to question why he was allowed to settle in the first place.<br /></blockquote>See, he's just a very bad character that sneaked in to the country in an underhanded fashion and stole this property because he wasn't allowed to lease it. And to prove he's fishy, we paint him as a criminal in other countries. He's very scary.<br /><blockquote>The FBI said Dotcom <span style="font-weight: bold;">personally made $42 million</span> from Megaupload in 2010 alone.<br /><br />One video on <span style="font-weight: bold;">YouTube shows him racing a Mercedes</span> in the Gumball 3000 road rally and talking about bribing a Moroccan official.<br /><br />Another clip shows a 2011 New Year's Eve<span style="font-weight: bold;"> fireworks display</span> over Auckland organized and paid for by Dotcom<span style="font-weight: bold;"> to celebrate his family being granted residency</span>. The display was reported <span style="font-weight: bold;">to have cost $500,000</span>.</blockquote>See, he isn't like normal people at all. He has to be stopped. He must be punished for his outlandish lifestyle that puts other people at risk of feeling like poor losers. No matter what, he must be thrown in jail, no matter what it takes!!! I mean, who dares earn money and spends it on himself. How ridiculously selfish of this master criminal Kingpin.<br /><blockquote>U.S. Justice Department officials have said that the estimate of $500 million in economic harm to copyright holders cited in a U.S. indictment was at the low end.<br /><br />The allegations included copyright infringement as well as conspiracy to commit copyright infringement, conspiracy to commit money laundering and conspiracy to commit racketeering. Two of the offences carry a maximum penalty of 20 years.<br /><br />The companies charged, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Megaupload Ltd and Vestor Ltd, were both registered in Hong Kong</span> and owned either in large part or solely by Dotcom.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some 100 officers raided four premises in Hong Kong</span> on Friday including luxury hotel rooms, seizing computer equipment and freezing HK$330 million ($42.5 million) in financial assets, according to Hong Kong Customs.</blockquote>One wonders how the FBI even has standing in this case when the servers and the service is not US owned or located on US soil? Again, the scary part in all of this is how the US government, through its media mouthpieces like Reuters, can dictate its tyranny over internet usage in other countries.<br /><br />Let me ask you this question. If I went to an estate sale, and as a part of the sale or a direct buy, I got my hands on a large number of books. Now, I can't possibly read them all so I decide to share them with my book-loving friends. I pass them out to my friends and when they are done with them, I share them with other friends and family. Anyone can come to me and request to read the book. Have you ever shared a movie with a coworker?<br /><br />Now, most people see no problem with this. I mean, come on, it is only a book. But that is actually breaking copyright law. You may say, wait, what Megaupload did was different. They were sharing massive amounts of digital media to people who didn't buy the media. No, they were not. <br /><br />First, there is no difference between a digital book and a real paper book. Second, they were not actively sharing stolen media. Third, they were providing a service to allow subscribers to store their media. And some shared those books with friends and people they trusted. Some, shared them with anyone who asked for them. Fourth, these books are only shared when asked for. They are not actively sharing that digital information in an open-door fashion like courts have said was the illegal nature of Napster and torrent programs.<br /><br />Are cops now going to arrest Pawn Shops for selling equipment and books? How about second-hand books stores? What about consignment shops that sell clothes? Isn't their an artistic license and "ownership" that comes with creating a clothing line and hand tools? Do we not see people arrested for selling knock-offs? Then why is it not illegal to share or sell your clothes, books and tools?<br /><blockquote>Users could upload material to the company's sites which then would create a link that could be distributed. <span style="font-weight: bold;">The sites, which included video, music and pornography</span>, did not provide search capabilities but rather relied on others to publish the links, the U.S. indictment said.</blockquote>No, they did not include video, music or pornography. Like you said in the sentence before, the sites only had links to your files on your accounts that were held in non-US countries. And, if the site does not actively push those links, then how are they responsible for a scheme to bilk copyright holders in America?<br /><br />Obviously, they are the Kingpins of the Internetz.<br /><br />Does this mean that now Amazon will be raided by hundreds of cops and their masterminds thrown in jail? Do they not offer a storage and sharing solution as well? How about sites that only store the files temporarily allowing users to send large files to friends across the globe? What if you are a search engine that produces results that have such links? Is Google and Ask.com now violating copyright for pushing that link to the users of their service?The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-11726325373541005012012-01-11T20:17:00.002-06:002012-01-11T20:27:19.403-06:00Rep Darrell Issa - What Are You Thinking?!?!Sometimes, lunacy, idiocy, hypocrisy, and power even infects the most logical and sound amongst us. I can only pray that Rep Darrell Issa signed this without knowing what he was signing. Otherwise, <a href="http://the-scientist.com/2012/01/09/anti-open-access-rises-again/">it makes absolutely no sense</a>.<br /><blockquote>US Representatives Darrel Issa (R-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) introduced a bill into the House of Representatives in mid-December that would roll back the National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy, which mandates that any published research that was funded by the federal science agency be submitted to the publically accessible digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication in journals. <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.3699:">The bill, H.R. 3699</a>, would also make it illegal for other federal agencies to adopt similar open-access policies.</blockquote>In case you are wondering, who might be behind this effort....<br /><blockquote>The legislation, referred to as the Research Works Act, is being applauded by the Association of American Publishers, a book publishing industry trade organization that claims the NIH policy and others like it undercut the scientific publishing business</blockquote>Yep. Because the book publishers depend on the money from government privacy, seclusion and ingrained protectionism, they refuse to allow our government to produce content online.<br /><br />Hello people. We are in a paper-less society. Remember? Oh.... and if I recall correctly, we are in the digital age. Time to give up on publishing. Especially using books that no one wants to buy.<br /><br />Rep Issa, I pray that this is a late-night drinking mistake. I'm not sure why else you are teaming up with a Socialist Democrat on an anti-openness and anti-transparency bill. Didn't the secretive and lying Obama administration teach you anything? Didn't the hidden agenda behind Climategate reveal to you what must be kept open? Keeping anything secret, let alone information created through tax payer funding, allows corruption and lies to foster and flourish.<br /><br />But then, shouldn't you know that already?The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-55136425885056623432012-01-09T21:15:00.003-06:002012-01-09T21:25:55.382-06:00Fools Play When Reason Goes AwayWhat happens when you get a supposed disgruntled union guy who was let go by his money-hungry union?<br /><br />You get a <a href="http://www.politickerny.com/2012/01/09/meet-randy-johnson-the-fired-bain-factory-employee-bird-dogging-mitt-romney/">DNC supported hack</a> with a blatantly biased illogical story who can't wait to harass RNC candidates he blindly sees as responsible.<br /><blockquote>As reporters and Mitt Romney supporters filed outside the gymnasium where the former Massachusetts governor had led a raucous rally ahead of the primary here Tuesday, Randy Johnson, a stooped and bearded man in late middle age, stood silently to the side and watched. Nearby, an operative with the Democratic National Committee directed reporters to him, where one by one, Mr. Johnson told them his story.<br /><br />The DNC, he says, pays for his flights and for a hotel room, and he needled the DNC operative following him around for making him pay for tolls and buy lunch as they travelled around New Hampshire.</blockquote>So, what is this guy's story? What is his gripe against Romney?<br /><blockquote>The 57-year-old described how he worked at a factory making office supplies owned by Smith Corona, which facing bankruptcy, sold his plant to another company, Ampad, that has recently been acquired by Bain Capital. Ampad promptly fired all of the workers at the plant, and then re-hired most of them. Since they were a union shop, and over half of the employees had been re-hired, the new owners were forced to recognize the union. They tried to renegotiate the contract, but the union eventually decided to go on strike, so Ampad shuttered the once-profitable factory.</blockquote>Can you see the truth there? He was a member of a union that caused the business to lose money to the point it was going bankrupt. Another company came in to save the day. In thinking of slimming down and saving the company, they fired everyone. Then realizing that they had fired union people, they hired most of them back and tried to renegotiate the contract. The union refused to come to an agreement. That led to the closure of the plant. The union forced these two owners to close the plant because they refuse to come to terms how harmful their demands are.<br /><br />And what is worse? HE HAS ANOTHER UNION JOB!!!<br /><blockquote>Mr. Johnson said he has been to five Romney events so far this year, and has spoken at union halls and on talk radio “to anyone who will listen.”<br /><br />He had to relocate from Indiana to Pittsburgh and is taken leave from a job at the steelworker’s union there.</blockquote>This guy, is a member of another union in another state and the union is allowing him leave, with pay, to go harass a political candidate... and also get reimbursed by a major political party. <br /><br />Odd, huh?The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-53939946436769835222012-01-07T12:25:00.003-06:002012-01-07T12:37:46.848-06:00What Are You Doing To Our Country?<p id="yui_3_2_0_13_132596000044940">This is Michigan.

John McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee.<br />Look for a big bump in the polls. Not.</blockquote>I think if I was trying to impress the Republican party that I was not a RINO like they fear and that I was their answer to fix this nation's image and spending problems, I would not want the king of RINOs giving me his resounding endorsement.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Sen <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/01/2-days-after-iowa-caucus-mccain-says-gop-should-wrap-things-up-settle-quickly-on-romney/">McCain considers these caucuses and debates to be pesky</a>.<br /><blockquote>Just two days after the first votes in the race to pick a Republican presidential nominee, Sen.

Well, Mitt Romney came out with an 8 vote lead over Rick Santorum. New Gingrich came in third.<br /><br />Did you vote for Santorum? Why? Because he is a social conservative? I'm going to show you that that isn't what you think it means. In fact, Rick Santorum is a Socialist Republican. He is more RINO than RINO.<br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/01/rick-santorum-attacks-ronald-reagan-at-town-hall-meeting/">Santorum attacks President Ronald Reagan</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> for increasing retirement age for Social Security.</span><br /><br />Santorum faults Reagan for increasing the Social Security retirement age.

(Jim has the video on his site)<br /><blockquote>Horrible. An Afghan 15 year-old child bride describes being locked and tortured by her husband and in-laws.<br /><br />Sahar Gul told officials: “<span style="font-weight: bold;">My mother-in-law pulled out my nails.</span>”<br /><br />The BBC reported:<br /><br /> A video given to the BBC shows the extent of the injuries suffered by a 15 year-old Afghan child bride who was locked up and tortured by her husband.<br /><br /> The girl was left starving after being detained by him and his family for several months.<br /><br /> The case came to light this week when police rescued the teenager, Sahar Gul, who had <span style="font-weight: bold;">been locked up in the basement of her in-laws’ house</span>.<br /><br /> Police say that <span style="font-weight: bold;">she had had her nails and clumps of hair pulled out.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> In addition they say she had chunks of flesh cut out with pliers</span>.</blockquote>Can you guess how she was rescued from this evil P.O.S.?<br /><blockquote>Sahar Gul <span style="font-weight: bold;">was married off to a 30-year-old man</span> around seven months ago, when <span style="font-weight: bold;">she was just 14 years old</span>. Her parents contacted police after not being able to see her for several months.</blockquote>Yep. She was sold to a 30-year old pedophile by her parents. Said pedophile and family then proceeded to torture and mutilate her. I will assume (based on history) that she failed to "perform marital relations" as prescribed by the pedophilic-Sharia law.<br /><br />When her loving parents failed to hear from their most valuable property, they called the cops.<br /><br />Her parents should be locked up as well!!!<br /><br />Another reason why we should be seeking to utterly destroy this fallacy of a culture. We should not be seeking to come to peace accord with them. Doing so is a travesty of all the American blood that has been shed on that desert.<br /><br />More from <a href="http://www.news.com.au/world/afghan-child-bride-sahar-gul-tells-of-torture-by-mother-in-law/story-e6frfkyi-1226234045597">News.Com.Au</a>:<br /><blockquote>Three women including the girls's mother in-law were arrested over the case but her husband fled.<br /><br />The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission logged 1026 cases of violence against women in the second quarter of 2011 compared with 2700 cases for the whole of 2010.<br /><br />An Oxfam report in October said 87 per cent of Afghan women reported having experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence or forced marriage.</blockquote>News.Com.Au says that she was sold by HER BROTHER:<br /><blockquote>Her brother had sold her to her husband about seven months ago for $US5000 ($4898).</blockquote>Again, the problems from a violent male-dominated culture. Why didn't the parent's have a say-so in this. I bet they did. I bet they told the brother to sell their daughter and kept the money. That is what they do.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-47007172019886988222011-12-31T18:08:00.003-06:002011-12-31T19:13:50.988-06:008 Things Republicans Must Do In 2012 And On To Save This Nation - And The PartyRecently, I wrote <a href="http://captain-fish.blogspot.com/2011/12/sometimes-truth-needs-to-be-said.html">how NMP Mr Obama views America</a>, its citizens, their freedoms, and America's heritage.<br /><br />In Dr Wolf's (Washington Times) piece, he points out - rather correctly in my opinion - that Obama views America as stupid, untrustworthy and in dire need of massive governmental control in order to save it from itself. What Dr Wolf does not cite is that this is the predominant view of the Democrat party (holy hell people.. it is not.. "democratic" party. those are two different things). Even many Republican party members tie their horse to this Big Socialism\Statism hitching post. They love the power and the money. They love the power the money gives them. They love the power they get when people ask them for money. Socialism strokes egos of the powerful. For those who are not dead and dying under its yoke.<br /><br />It is a very powerful lure. Satan always has been. The power to control people's lives has corrupted people from time immemorial. It has been the downfall of almost every person. Kids learn it when they are young. The power to pick people to be on their team. The power to "pick first". The power to tell on someone or to keep a dirty secret. Unfortunately for Socialists, their sins are plainly evident for everyone to see. Unfortunately for Americans, the Socialist Democrats have a better PR machine than Satan.<br /><br />America has increasingly suffered under the ever increasing yoke of governmental control, influence and outright tyranny. Yet, half of this nation, thanks to government-provided education, thinks that Socialism is just fine - when enacted properly, of course. And if it were not for those pesky Republicans getting in the way, Socialism could be enacted like it should be and we could all live in the Garden of Eden once more.<br /><br />But what the gullible, ignorant, uneducated sycophants fail to realize is that the Socialists' plans are working as designed. These dolts (perfect example can be found at OWS protests) are blaming others for their problems like they want you to. They are demanding someone else pay higher taxes so that they can be given stuff for free. They are demanding that taxes on corporations be near deathblow limits in order to fund immoral social programs for a minority few. <br /><br />Sorry to inform you folks, but that plan has been coming in to fruition for decades and has nearly come to fruition under the greatest Socialist of all time - NMP Mr Obama. He puts Stalin and Mussolini to shame in his ability to control people's daily lives, to the amount of money he forcibly transfers around, and to how many freedoms have been taken away.<br /><br />For the Republicans to remain relevant in 2012 and beyond, there are only just a few things that they MUST do. This also includes what they must promise to do in order to regain control over the 3 branches of our formerly-representative government. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1) Repeal ObamaCare.</span> This is the worst piece of Socialist travesty since the order to inter Japanese\German-Americans. Its trampling upon freedom of choice is a blasphemy to all our soldiers died for.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2) Change our tax code.</span> Our tax code is the most repressive, regressive, progressive in the world. I use progressive not in the forward moving sense, but in the anti-American sense. We need to create either a flat or relatively flat tax system and one that is business friendly. We should not be out-taxed by killer Socialist nations like France.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3) End all Subsidy and Social programs funded by federal tax dollars.</span> It is not just common sense but now our only means for economic survival. Our government should not be in the business of funding social programs or businesses over another.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4) Reverse the last 10-20 years of federal regulations.</span> This doesn't mean stop their funding source. This means repeal. We must repeal many of the burdensome anti-business regulations that stifles entrepreneurship and business expansion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5) Close shop on thousands of federal offices.</span> Starting with the EPA, the Depts of Energy and Education, start closing down their doors and fire them. They have no purpose but to kill individualism, growth, business and the American economy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6) Open up every single national energy source and type.</span> In order to grow our economy and save the lower and middle class, we must have affordable energy, products and food. We can not have an expanding economy when we shut down our energy supplies. Open up all sites for competitive bid after businesses agree to donating to "superfund" fund based upon the revenue generated from the sale of the resource.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">7) Start selling unused federal lands.</span> This includes some unpopular "protected" lands and industrialized properties. Give most of the land back to the states.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8) Open up federal lands to build gas refineries and nuclear power reactors.</span> 'nuff said.<br /><br />Failure to accomplish these tasks, or even attempt them, will mean the death of the Republican party as President Reagan once knew it. Failure to work to save our nation and its economy will mean the death of America.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-79876112635072709212011-12-31T17:58:00.002-06:002011-12-31T18:03:46.179-06:00Sometimes, The Truth Needs To Be Said (unfortunately not said enough nowadays)From a story in the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/28/in-obama-he-trusts/">Washington Times</a> from Dr. Milton R. Wolf, comes the hard truth about NMP Barack Hussein Obama. First, a clear and distinct description of Mr Obama:<br /><blockquote>As recently as this month, the food-stamp president of 13 million unemployed Americans declared himself the fourth-most-accomplished president in the history of the United States, eclipsing, in his own mind, President Reagan and even our nation’s father, George Washington. That in only three years. Barack the Magnificent won’t allow trivialities like $15 trillion debts or historic national credit downgrades dissuade him.<br /><br />Mr. Obama may care deeply for America, but he believes in only one thing: Barack Obama. And you are not Barack Obama.<br /><br />The sum total of Mr. Obama’s political philosophy, the unifying theme of his presidency, amounts to this: You cannot be trusted to live as a free American.<br /><br />That he trusted only himself to allocate taxpayers’ money in the first place - even if he had had the capacity to do so brilliantly - is evidence of a much larger offense: This president distrusts his subjects.</blockquote>Dr Wolf also dissects the unconstitutional and socialist ObamaCare:<br /><blockquote>Obamacare is a modern-day monument to government arrogance. So untrustworthy are Americans that they cannot be allowed to decide for themselves whether to purchase health insurance or, if so, how much. Likewise, physicians are too untrustworthy to provide you with care without first consulting the government’s “best practices” guidelines. Obamacare would solve both.</blockquote>He goes on to say...<br /><blockquote>For statists like Mr. Obama, no matter how bloated our government has become, America is forever just one legislative act away from utopia, if only those untrustworthy Americans would just get in line. The man who ran on hope has instead embraced a tragic pessimism that views all free Americans with disdain as either incompetent rubes in need of his salvation or unrighteous villains in need of his rules. Either way, Mr. Obama embraces a command-and-control government and rejects American freedom.</blockquote>Well said sir.

Out Of AmericaFrom <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/12/un-flies-flag-at-half-mast-in-honor-of-kim-jong-il/">Jim over at The Gateway Pundit</a> comes word that the UN flew their UN flag at half-mast on 12/28/2011 to honor North Korea's funeral of one of their most brutal dictators.<br /><blockquote>The flag of the United Nations flew at half-mast Wednesday at the world’s body headquarters in New York and its Geneva offices to mark the funeral for late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il. (AFP)<br /><br />The United Nations flew its flag at half-mast in honor of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il today. The <a href="http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/world/12467713/un-flags-at-half-mast-to-mark-kim-s-funeral/">AFP</a> reported, via <a href="http://www.lucianne.com/thread/?artnum=657624">Lucianne</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote>The flag of the United Nations flew at half-mast Wednesday at the world’s body headquarters in New York and its Geneva offices to mark the funeral for late North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il.<br /><br />Choi Soung-ah, a spokeswoman for UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, said it was customary practice for the UN flag to be lowered to half-mast upon the deaths of leaders of UN member states.</blockquote></blockquote><br />Once again, the UN shows that they are not a human-rights seeking organization. What they do show is that the USA should kick them out and then get out of the UN.

They posted the flag to honor their nephew, a soldier deployed to Afghanistan.<br /><br />Winkler said she received a telephone call alerting her that state highway workers had taken down the flag and the flag pole, tossing both into the back of a dump truck.<br /><br />“They told us it was against the law to erect a flag on the traffic circle,” Winkler said. “They told my husband that whoever put up the flag could be arrested for trespassing.”</blockquote>And, what did the state of Maryland say about all this?<br /><blockquote>State highway workers also told her that people had complained about Old Glory.<br /><br />David Buck, a spokesman for the state high department, told the Baltimore Sun that there is also a safety issue.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">“They don’t have traffic control out there, and they don’t have (road work) vests on,” he told the newspaper.</span><br /><br />As for now – there’s no indication if the state of Maryland will reverse their decision – or if the Winkler family will get back their flag.<br /><br />She said state workers have refused to return the Stars and Stripes.</blockquote>So, because the family did not have a police escort to control traffic and did not wear safety vests while they were putting up their flag memorial (years ago), then the memorial is nothing more than trash. A safety hazard. A THING that must be removed and thrown in to the trash heap.<br /><br />Remember people, it is very important who you vote for. Even in your local elections.<br /><br />While the state is correct in removing the memorial as it is on public property and they did not have a permit for its installation, most people forgive memorials. How often do you see crosses or flowers with flags placed along state roads where some loved-one had died?<br /><br />The best way to fix this is to ask the local township if there is a spot where this family, with community support, can erect an ad-hoc memorial to the town's fallen.<br /><br />[Update] The website <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/road-crew-tosses-american-flag-in-dump-truck-sparks-rally/">The Blaze has pics </a>of the intersection and the support rally following the utter desecration of the US flag.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-87213255132729706062011-12-28T01:49:00.002-06:002011-12-28T02:04:51.569-06:00Fixing Inner City Economies Through InterwebzFrom Tim Slagle over at Big Hollywood comes word that Obama has found the secret to inner city poverty and crime.<br /><blockquote>According to a <a href="http://p.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/dec/1/online-soap-opera-cleans-up-with-stimulus-broadban/?page=1">recent article</a>, $1.5 million of federal stimulus money went to produce Internet videos. The money was earmarked to get inner city residents online by creating programming that would appeal to them. Of that, $230,000 went to producer Robert Townsend, and $700,000 to other vendors to produce “<a href="http://pic.tv/singlemom/">Diary of a Single Mom</a>,” an online soap opera about a growing up in poverty.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> This is just a part of a $28 million Commerce Department grant which created One Economy, a project intended to wire the inner cities to the Internet</span>.</blockquote>Yes.. because the internet is exactly what the inner cities need to get out of poverty.<br /><br />The best place for them to be, to get economically free,,, is sitting on a computer all day watching tax-payer funded videos about life in the inner city.<br /><br />As Tm states:<br /><blockquote>The idea that there is nothing on the Internet that appeals to people in the inner city is ridiculous. It’s based on a faulty premise that somehow inner-city people are different than others; that TV dramas about fabulously rich people, attractive lawyers, and doctors who never get messy are only appealing to white suburbanites; that people living in poverty want to see a story about living in poverty. If this were true, comic books wouldn’t be about superheroes; they would all be about pimply fat boys with thick glasses who get beat up on the way to school.</blockquote>But, hey, at least they created thousands of youtube hits from their $28 million. That has to account for something.

And, we've already seen what the presidential office can do to this nation when a man of ego runs it.<br /><br />For a place in history, Pres Obama had definitely placed himself in the top tier - of failures.<br /><a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2011/10/obama-surges-to-another-new-record-third-straight-year-with-trillion-dollar-deficit/">He has tripled the deficit</a>:<br /><a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2010/08/its-official-barack-obama-is-worst-jobs-president-since-great-depression/">Unemployment greatest in any time</a>:<br />Obama attacked Pres Bush for failures, but <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnnyshop/6196456311/sizes/o/in/photostream/">then doubles down the failure</a>.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-23341625204464836532011-11-29T20:37:00.003-06:002011-11-29T20:39:42.983-06:00Flash From The Past<a href="http://captain-fish.blogspot.com/2009/10/boehner-to-obama-pass-gop-bill-to.html">Back in October 2009</a>, I posted about how Rep Boehner could create jobs if he really wanted to. I'll repost my suggestions once again 2 years later. Take note, none of these have been done and we are still in an economic crisis.<br /><br /><blockquote>Rep Boehner, if you really want to create jobs, then put in these changes.<br /><br /> * Place a one year freeze on Capital Gains taxes.<br /> * Provide a one year moratorium on small-business and self-employment taxes.<br /> * In addition to providing tax breaks for employees, reduce the taxes on employers. Reduce the top tax rate of 28, 33 and 35% down to 25%. Allow employers to keep more of their money so that they can AFFORD to employ more people.<br /> * Eliminate or drastically reduce minimum wage requirement. Allow more young people to find employment - they have a 52% unemployment now.<br /> * Implement a permanent 50% cut on corporate taxes. The US is the highest anywhere.<br /> * Mandate that any pork spending be done one bill at a time.<br /> * Mandate that any bill or spending measure can not have an amendment attached that is not related to the primary bill or spending measure.<br /> * Make it illegal to give federal money to private companies (ie. subsidies, stimulus).<br /> * Pass new laws making it unconstitutional, let alone illegal, for the federal government to take over and operate a private industry. (something tells me this is already illegal but no one wants to take a stand for some reason)<br /> * Stop funding Arts and Science unless it is related to our national security.<br /><br />With these options, you can really kick-start this economy. More so than providing federal funds to help stock vending machines. But, you have to have the guts to do what is right, not just what is expedient.</blockquote>The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-59420775776918298152011-11-29T20:21:00.003-06:002011-11-29T20:32:15.414-06:00Time For A ChangeI'm sorry, but its been a long while since I've posted. I've had another blog I posted on during the past year or so. And, I've also just lost my heart.<br /><br />I've not really had the heart to post much this past year. <br /><br />I've seen this country vote for more Socialism and elect a highly Socialist president. I've seen Congress go more Socialist and grab up more personal and state's rights. I've almost lost all hope for this country and its people.<br /><br />We have people killing other people over consumerism crap. We have politicians selling their souls in order to retain power. We have governments selling out their citizens in order to increase its hold over personal liberties.<br /><br />I've had barely enough energy to care any more as I see this country on a suicide slide.<br /><br />But, if this coming election turns, I may be around more. But, if we elect another RINO and refuse to undo all the past horrible and illegal bills that have passed, my pessimism will be justified.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-7356255355076066222010-08-19T20:37:00.001-06:002010-08-19T20:37:56.277-06:00It's Time To Face Truth Of Tolerance<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qg_iDPRud_c&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Qg_iDPRud_c&rel=0&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xd0d0d0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4743916726628126605.post-40961170300161750192009-10-14T19:11:00.002-06:002009-10-14T19:42:35.067-06:00Boehner to Obama: Pass GOP Bill To Create Jobs<span class="middlecopy"><span class="middlecopy"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: arial;">House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) sent up a <a href="http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=149780">notice </a>to President Obama asking him<br /><blockquote>...to “review” House Republican proposals to help small businesses, the real engine of our economic growth, create jobs.</blockquote> </span></span></span><span class="middlecopy"><span class="middlecopy"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: arial;">Seriously? You want Obama to review a bill to "create" actual jobs? I'm sorry, but Obama is not about creating jobs. <a href="http://snappedshot.com/archives/4091-Obama-You-Dont-Need-No-Stinkin-Job.html">He does his best to destroy and eliminate jobs</a>. So far, over 4 million this year alone.<br /><br />But Rep Boehner, you are still playing politics with people's lives here. If you want to impress your base, the Republicans of the Americas, then put some meat in that bill. Things like this ...<br /><blockquote>• Allow small businesses to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their income.<br /><br />• Let small businesses join together to purchase health insurance for their workers the way large businesses and labor unions do.<br /><br />• Enact genuine legal reform and policies that incentivize wellness to reduce health care costs for small businesses.<br /><br />• Lower taxes for all taxpayers by reducing the current 15 percent rate to 10 percent and reducing the current 10 percent rate to 5 percent. This will provide an immediate increase in income to every taxpaying family in America and free up capital to help small businesses hire more workers.<br /><br />• Expand health savings accounts (HSAs) to provide additional flexibility to small businesses in providing health care to their employees. </blockquote>... really do nothing to create jobs. <br /><br />Rep Boehner, if you really want to create jobs, then put in these changes.<br /><br /></span></span></span><ul><li>Place a one year freeze on Capital Gains taxes.</li><li>Provide a one year moratorium on small-business and self-employment taxes.</li><li>In addition to providing tax breaks for employees, reduce the taxes on employers.

And, we were gifted with those spanish version of traditional NFL commercials as well. We were even blessed to have the game announcers trying their hand at spanish live on air.<br /><br />All this is not pretty.<br /><br />I know this was in "celebration" of Mexican Heritage Week, or something like that. But... come on. Football is an AMERICAN icon. Are there any football teams in Mexico? Are there any left in Spain?<br /><br />NO!<br /><br />This is AMERICA. Quit screwing with our culture.<br /><br />Hey, those of you upset right now about what I am complaining about, think about this. How about we have a week celebrating White American Culture week. Would you be OK with that?<br /><br />[Update:] My bad... (its worse)... It is Hispanic Heritage MONTH!!

The Coal Industry.<br /><br />Therefore, the coal industry is helping terrorists.<br /><br />Simple, huh?<br /><blockquote>Afghanistan is now 11 years into a drought with no end in sight. Scientists say it fits the pattern long predicted for global warming,</blockquote>Coal usage leads to drought. Drought is proof of global warming. Stop using coal and you will end drought and save the world from terrorism.The Captainhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046085552465709154noreply@blogger.com0
