When Hypocrisy Rules

From Fox News comes this story...talk about hypocrisy.

House Republicans blocked Democrats on Thursday from requiring oil and gas companies to drill on the millions of acres of government land and water on which they already own federal leases.

Seeking to counter a push by congressional Republicans to lift a long-standing drilling ban on most offshore U.S. waters, Democratic leaders maintained the industry should first go after oil and natural gas in areas where they hold leases.

HOWEVER... they did do this...

Separately, lawmakers moved to help local mass transit systems cope with a rush of new ridership as people turn to public transit in response to high gasoline prices.

The House voted 322-98 to authorize $1.7 billion over the next two years to lower fares and expand operations as more riders flock to public transit. The transit measure, which must still be considered by the Senate, marks the first time federal money would be used to support local mass transit operating costs.

However, mass transit has been supported every year. So, despite their clamoring, the repubs once again turned on americans.

I kind of understand why they would not vote for a bill requiring companies to drill in areas they are not doing so, mainly because probably the oil companies know that these are low quality areas and thus leaves these scrags till last, but then to turn around and spend tax dollars on mass transit that only a very very small percentage of people use in this country!?!?!

Once again, they turn to socialism and forcing small states to pay for the massive population center's problems.

Do yo need any more proof?

From Fox News:

Saudi marriage officiant Dr. Ahmad al-Mu’bi told Lebanese television viewers last week that it’s permissible for girls as young as 1 to marry — as long as sex is postponed.

Al-Mu’bi’s remarkable comments also included an explanation that “there is no minimal age for entering marriage.”

“You can have a marriage contract even with a 1-year-old girl, not to mention a girl of 9, 7 or 8,” he said. “But is the girl ready for sex or not?” What is the appropriate age for sex for the first time? This varies according to environment and tradition,” al-Mu’bi said.

'Nuff said.

People are Animals

I am a HUGE fan of Arena Football and have attended a few games. But I have noticed a very disturbing trend growing of late that is just pissing me off to no end.

Arena football has turned animal. and I am not talking about the players. When players land near the sides, the people in the stands will lean out as far as they can and WRESTLE the ball out of the player's hands.

This has to be stopped.

There needs to be flags on the home town's team for that. This is just beastial.

This is something that we as true Americans can get behind. Lets see that we do it. Take a gander at what and WHO is involved with this amazing event. Down near the bottom you can read of some of the organizations that are providing some of their own products for free.

Six more days ’til the From the Frontlines web-a-thon

By Michelle Malkin • June 20, 2008 12:37 PM

Just six more days ’til the awesome event I told you about over Memorial Day weekend. “From the Frontlines” is a joint project of Melanie Morgan’s Move America Forward, UStream.TV, and Hot Air. On June 26, from 4pm Eastern/1pm Pacific to 12midnight Eastern/9pm Pacific, Melanie and I will be anchoring a livestreamed, 8-hour fund-raising “web-a-thon” to send the largest number of care packages to our troops overseas in U.S. history. We’ve got a star-studded line-up participating in this effort to support our military, including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Laura Ingraham, Dr Laura Schlessinger, Ollie North, Monica Crowley, Ann Coulter, Nancy Reagan, actor Kelsey Grammer, and Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik. You’ll be able to tune it at Hot Air and on UStream, embed the broadcast on your own blogs, and even catch some of the show on your radio dial if you’re lucky to be in the listening area of a radio station partner.

You can purchase care packages right now, right here, in advance of the web-a-thon. Buy early and often! MAF has raised over $200,000 in advance of the telethon. Our goal is $500,000.

The tireless Melanie Morgan got the ball rolling a few months ago during an e-mail exchange we were having about the untapped synergies between radio, grass-roots conservative activism, and the Internet. I introduced her to Brad Hunstable at UStream and things took off like a rocket. The MAF team has amazing organizational skills and boundless energy; UStream’s staff has also gone above and beyond in making the program happen. I’m honored to play a small part in this unprecedented event and can’t wait for you to join us for an unforgettable day. Mark your calendars, tell your friends, and be sure to tune in.

Catherine Moy of MAF has more:

Thousands of Americans have already sponsored packages through MAF’s website and a giant database of names and addresses of U.S. troops in Iraq & Afghanistan is being built—so that the packages can reach our military men and women in time for the 4th of July holiday. MAF would like all families with loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan to send addresses and names to ensure all troops benefit from the overwhelming support of a grateful nation, Morgan said.

Local businesses have stepped up for the cause. Sacramento-based coffee roaster, Cornerstone Coffee, is a principal supplier of the coffee included in the care packages. And the old Travelodge hotel on 11th & H donated offices used for preparing the care packages prior to shipping. The Travelodge has been refurbished into the new work/loft office complex known as “Retrolodge.”

The Fairfield-based Jelly Belly Co., which makes the gourmet Jelly Belly beans made famous by President Ronald Reagan, has donated 100,000 bags of their gourmet jelly beans that will be included in the care packages to assist in the effort.

“This effort has stuck a nerve with people from across the nation and here in Sacramento,” Morgan said. “I am personally ecstatic about the love the American people have for our troops.”

Democrats No Longer Hiding From Label

The Democrats have for years tried to hide from the labels of Liberal and socialist. They have claimed that they were "Progressive". Only stupid people actually believed that clap-trap. Everywhere else that the label "progressive" is used, the people are either communist or socialist. I mean, come on, there was a Socialist sect within the Democrat Congress and a great majority of them belonged to it. And I suspect a few Republicans as well.

But now, it would seem, that the Democrats are no longer hiding their true ideologies. They now feel open to freely express their true opinions and desires for "change" now that the Obamassiah is President.

From Rusty comest his bit of news:

What could possibly be worse than turning the American oil industry into a U.S. government monopoly? Turning the worldwide uranium enrichment industry into a U.N. monopoly. California Democratic Congresswoman urges just that.

Is that like allowing Iran to build nukes? Or allowing Congress to manage our southern border? Or allowing celebrities to pretend to give expert testimony in order to dictate national policy?

Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) standards are obsolete, and the growth in the sheer number of nuclear facilities world-wide has made it difficult for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to achieve its mission[, said Rep. Jane Harmon].

schaw, they are being built everywhere but here in the US. Thanks to people like Rep. Jane Harmon. Spankyou very much!!!

Michelle Malkin puts the point succinctly:

Okay…so we, um, let the UN make all the world’s enriched uranium and ration it. How long until the U.N. manages to turn “Atoms for Peace” into “Oil For Food II”?

More importantly, I don’t hear anything in there that would actually discourage a country like Iran or North Korea from enriching uranium, other than making them pinky swear to the IAEA that they won’t do it–

These people really think that more government controlling handouts is the answer to everything. They already want to take over American oil and gas companies like Chavez did in Venenzuela. Talk about a complete shafting of the constitution. But then, then socialism never cared about rules, people, or following laws. Not like democrats have been very pro-America of late either (Obama, Obama's wife, Murtha, Pelosi, Reid, etc).

Washington Building Border Fence... sorta

From WND comes this amazing tale of hypocrisy on the part of our own government with regard to our national security. Can our administration be more concerned with the security of an enemy of Israel than with our own? Or Israel's?

Washington was finally getting serious about building a border fence. I told you some $23 million had been allocated for engineering teams to focus on smuggling tunnels and building a sturdier, impregnable border barrier. The resources of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had been directed to help with the project.

That was the good news.

The bad news was the border fence is not between the U.S. and Mexico. It is the fence separating the Hamas-cidal maniacs in the Gaza Strip from their Arab neighbors in Egypt.

You will often hear from those opposing the building of a U.S.-Mexico border fence that it won't work – it won't really stop or be a deterrent to those determined to cross over into the U.S. The detractors often cite tunneling as one option.

Well, guess what? The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has figured that out – at least so far as the tunnels being dug under the fence between Gaza and Egypt. The U.S. is teaching the Egyptian troops how to use advanced technological equipment to find and destroy the tunnels, including instruments that measure ground fluctuations and signal that a tunnel is being dug.

Haven't officials in Washington been telling the American people for the last two years that building border fences is a waste of time and money? Don't they claim that fences really don't keep undesirables out? Don't they tell us fences are inhumane and oppressive? Didn't they say you can't build a fence high enough to keep out bad guys?

So why is it that a border fence separating Arabs in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula from Arabs in Gaza is a good thing? And why does it work?

Didn't Washington also tell Israelis they shouldn't build a fence to protect their civilian population from Arab terrorists on the West Bank? Why, I must ask, was it morally wrong for the Israelis to build a fence to protect their citizens from Arab terrorists, but it's the right thing for Egypt to do? In fact, it's so right for Egypt, American taxpayers have been volunteered to pick up the tab!

So Egypt has been forced to build fences and walls to keep the infiltration to a minimum. It's funny how you don't hear many complaints about this wall.

You sure hear them every time an American insists one should be erected along the U.S. southern border. You certainly heard them during Israel's construction of its own security barrier separating itself from the future Palestinian state next door.

And no one claims this wall won't work. In fact, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is determined to make it work and is spending U.S. taxpayer dollars to ensure it does.

Why are we paying\subsidizing the construction of a border wall between two enemies of the US and Israel? Why are we saying that this wall is ok to build, but ours and Israel's is not. Why is $23 million being spent on a wall half-way across the world when our own wall is so full of holes and is only a fraction of the way built. Oh the hypocrisy of it all.

Who Knew ....

the movie "Chicken Run" was a Zionist propaganda piece with subtle messages with...

allusions to the Holocaust, to concentration camps, and to the concept of awaiting a hero or a savior. It portrays efforts to escape a predetermined fate – the death of all those who lived in that camp, who are depicted as chickens. Eventually, a kind of Noah's Ark is built – in this case, it is a flying ship – which is used for their escape.

And then hilarity ensued as did during the days of the Holocaust I'm sure. Zionist infiltration of Disney and Dreamworks??? Too insane and funny to not have been spoken by these nutbags.

Is it Islam, or just Islamic countries, that produce these idiot people?
