CALL TO ACTION/DUTY/HONOR

As I write this, the House of REPRESENTATIVES has not voted on the health care bill. The vote is scheduled for today and there is at this minute a 50/50 chance it will pass. If the bill is passed and if the wishes of the American people are ignored, then the time for action is now.

We have always advocated non-violence and continue to take that stand. What we do advocate is a complete and total shut down of Washington to show our displeasure. It came to me last night in a dream and I have the way to complete it.

On MONDAY MAY 3, 2010, we need a MILLION or more cars to flood the Nation's Capital creating the biggest traffic jam in history. Decorate your cars, show your displeasure for the actions of this congress and starting at 5AM drive into the city. Drive around until you are stuck in the biggest traffic jam in history. Blow you horns, bring compressed air horns, open your sun roofs, put down the tops, have one big tailgate party! MAYBE then, Congress will get the message. Spend the day just wreaking havoc. The more cars, the bigger the traffic jam and the more streets are closed down. Fill your car with friends and make it a day long party celebrating shutting down the Washington DC.

If you agree, cut and paste the message above and e-mail it to everyone you know.

STUPIDITY

I took this test on the internet the other day. Yeah, I know, most of them if not all, are stupid and don't mean squat, but the test was called "What Really Bugs You?" It turns out, the test somehow or another was dead on. It said that People's Stupidity was what bugged me.

I couldn't agree more.
Like the moron pulling out of the Burger King on Route 8. A car in the right hand lane is trying to pull into the Burger King, but he can't because Mr. Nimnutz instead of using the EXIT to enter Route 8 is trying to use the ENTRANCE to get on the road. So now the poor guy who only wants to get a cheeseburger, ends up blocking traffic and becomes a road hazard just because so idiot is so stupid that he can't read is mucking up the entrance.

Then there's Big Benjamin who already has a law suite against him for, eh-hem, shall we say; "sexual indiscretions" going to a bar in a college town and having a "liaison" with a college student that has turned into possible charges being filed against him.

We have seen this time and time again. Members of congress who are still trying to shove a health care reform bill down American's throats when the American people clearly don't want it.

How about the guy who pulls a gun on a Police Officer over a parking spot?
The point is we are surrounded by stupidity. It is the dumbing down of our country. We don't excel to be better, we excel for "equal-ness." They don't keep score at soccer games or baseball games because if Little Johnny is on the loosing team, he'll feel bad and his self esteem will be damaged. Everybody makes the team and everybody plays. BS.

Back in the days of Dinosaurs, we had to "try out" for the Little League team. You didn't make it, you played with your buddies in the park and you made yourself better and then you had another "try out" the next year. Today you ride around during the summer and look at the kids playing on the ball fields during the day. Oh wait, THEY DON'T PLAY ON THE BALL FIELDS DURING THE DAY ANYMORE. You don't see kids playing "pick-up" games anymore. I guess they are too busy playing baseball on the Playstation. The sad thing is you only see the kids playing ball when they have uniforms on.

It is the same thing in our education. We throw money at the problem and then when that doesn't work, we throw more money at the problem. Teachers don't teach, they babysit. The good teachers are lost in the system. We need to have teachers pay and quite honestly, their jobs tied into some sort of merit system. Forget tenure. If you are doing the job and doing it right, you'll never have to worry about loosing your job. To be honest, I think teachers should be one of the highest paid professions, but it should be based on results.
We have lost our common sense. Common sense is you don't put your hot coffee between your legs while you are driving. Instead, because of lawsuits, we now have warning labels. Look at all of the products you have in your house. Now look at the warning labels on them. It's because of the stupid people like the ones above that they are there. Water and electricity don't mix, never have, never will. That doesn't stop some want a bee members Mensa from trying.

Common sense tells us you don't try and read the newspaper, shave, tie your tie or put on make-up while you are driving. Sad thing is if you stood along the highway on any given morning you would see all of that.

Common sense tells us that you don't try and thaw out your frozen pipes with an open flame torch, but every year some dipstick that "knows how to do it," burns his house down.

Common sense tells us you don't try and out run a train at the crossing, yet every year there are dozens of meatheads standing at the Pearly Gates saying "I thought I could make it" over and over.

We have warning stickers on coffee cups, ladders, buckets, table lamps, hair dryers, etc, etc, etc. Why? Because our world is now made up and sometimes controlled by the stupid people. They are like Al Sharpton, they're everywhere.

We have web sites that highlight the stupid people. Sites like thereifixedit.com and darwinawards.com show how stupid people can be.

The problem is stupidity isn't isolated.

We are becoming Wylie E Coyte v The Roadrunner.

UPSIDE DOWN WORLD.

From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

The Pittsburgh 9.12 Project, a grass-roots conservative group, was forced to seek a new home after complaints about a North Hills church's decision to allow them to use their meeting room.

The group, an affiliate of the movement promoted by Fox commentator Glenn Beck, had staged a series of gatherings in St. John Lutheran Church of Highland. The church's meeting room was also to have been the site of a similar conservative group, the Pittsburgh Tea Party movement, last weekend, but that session was canceled due to weather.

The decision came after a blog post on the liberal website Daily Kos criticized the church's decision to hold the gatherings and suggested that the conservative group's views on issues such as global warming were at odds with the views of the Lutheran Church.

"As a Lutheran, I was very alarmed that a church of my own denomination was hosting such [an] event. I have since come to learn that this is not the first time the church has hosted such an event," said the author of the post, identified as mph2005.

Pastor William Diehm of St. John's declined to comment on the decision. In an e-mail, McKay Sailer, a leader of the local 9.12 group, said that the Daily Kos item "was the impetus for multiple complaints and threats of lawsuits, so they decided to dissolve the relationship with us."

Mrs. Sailer insisted that the meetings, which were not sponsored by the church, did not pose any threat to principles of church-state separation.

"However, we have no recourse and we certainly do not want to bring any harm to the church," she said. "That being said, this type of bullying and restriction of free speech is business-as-usual for the uber-progressive left."

The initial Daily Kos post on the meeting prompted an extensive series of comments, some sharply condemning the church, others dismissing such concerns an overreaction.

The next meeting of the group, on Sunday, will be in a Franklin Park Borough activities building.

Did I sleep through March? Is it April 1st already? I thought I was ready the Onion and I had to look and see that it was the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette! The Daily Kos? You have gots to be kidding me? Am I on Candid Camera?

First of all, I would like to set the record straight. There is no such thing as a separation of Church and State. It was an phrase taken from a Supreme Court decision. There is NOTHING in the United States Constitution that says there is a separation of Church and State and I DEFY anyone to prove otherwise.

The 9-12 Project is made up of nine principles and 12 values. Taken directly from the 9-12 Project's website: (This writer's notes in Blue)

9 Principles, 12 Values

The 9 Principles

1. America Is Good. Yes it is.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. There's something that I am not sure a church would support.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. Thought I read something about this from a stone tablet give to a guy named Moses.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

What's the problem with that? Do I not have the right to raise my children the way I

see fit? Am I not responsible for them?

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

Justice is blind and no one is above it. There's a novel idea. How many other countries practice this?

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. Amen.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable. Yeah, like giving my money to a church that walks the walk.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

Let me get this right, it was alright for the left to protest the "Evil George Bush," but

not alright for conservatives to protest against the left's guys?

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. I Barrack

Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear, that I will faithfully execute the office of President

of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend, the Constitution of the United States. So help me God.

The 12 Values

* Honesty

* Reverence

* Hope

* Thrift

* Humility

* Charity

* Sincerity

* Moderation

* Hard Work

* Courage

* Personal Responsibility

* Gratitude

Talk about a subversive manifesto.

One question? What church would NOT agree with ANY of the principles or values listed? I checked the website of the church and I found that they sponsor and support the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. Most of the 12 values are part of the Scout oath! Does the Daily Kos think the church should get rid of those subversives?

Seriously, what church would disagree with any of what the 9-12 Project believes? Second, what are they afraid that the Daily Kos would do, sue them? BRING IT ON!

It is a private church, they are free to support who they want. I'm sure if they were giving Osama Bin Laden shelter and asylum, the Daily Kos would be cheering them, after all if the government gets a hold of him, they are going to give him an unfair trail and then kill him. I bet if they were hiding 100 illegal Mexicans in their basement, they would be hailed by the Daily Kos as "humanitarians."

What this "Pastor" needs to do is to grow a pair and stand up to these nut balls.

Again I'll ask, what church does not believe in these principles and values? The 12 principles were mostly the thoughts of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, taken straight from their writings. Talk about hanging around with a bunch of lackeys! Washington and Jefferson were obviously dangerous in their thoughts and writings are bad for this country.

I guess the Daily Kos will now turn their attention to Franklin Park Borough.

If any church doesn't believe in these principles and values, then I don't want to be a part of it.

Editor's Note:

Normally I do not seek self promotion. Whoever reads this column (and I have heard from many) I am grateful for your support. I am not looking for more readers to disappoint with my sporadic writings. I am going to step out of character and ask that you forward the link to this column to your friends. The Daily Kos and the radical left (If you read the Daily Kos, you will see that they are the radical left) have flexed their muscles against conservatism, not it is your turn. If you believe in what I have written, please pass it on to your friends for their reading.

THE UNEXPLAINABLE

There are some things in life that are unexplainable. Stonehenge, Crop Circles, the latest Quinnpiac Poll. In the poll, Arlen Specter is ahead of Republican challenger Pat Toomey 49-42.

Now, as stated over and over, two weeks in politics is a lifetime and we have nine months before the general election, but this correspondent is sitting here scratching his head trying to figure this one out. The approval rating of congress is 14%. There is a backlash against incumbents, particularly democrats and the democrats themselves are seriously worried about November. Then along comes Arlen who was neck and neck with Toomey just a month ago and now he's up!
There are some factors here that Mr. Toomey has to overcome. The biggest is name recognition. It is evident that Mr. Toomey is being hurt by the fact that people know Arlen's name.

Another factor is that leading up to an election, Arlen is know for getting earmarks and spreading the cash around in front of the cameras.

Arlen will cry to the crowds that they need him in Pennsylvania, that he brings money to the state, he takes care of the people of Pennsylvania and that he is their only hope considering the fact that Bob Casey is MIA most of the time.

But, Mr. Specter has voted for the stimulus, has voted for the health care reform pushed by the democrats and has been on the wrong side of a multitude of issues.
What will help Mr. Toomey is the fact that BHO has promised to campaign for Mr. Specter. As the democrats used to morph candidates pictures into those of George W Bush, expect the same from the Republicans as they use Jimmy Carter Jr. in their ads.

November is a long time away and this correspondent expects the polls to tilt back and forth through the summer and by November, with the democrat agenda being exposed to the light more and more and with the help of BHO himself, I am confident that Mr. Specter will be playing with his grandchildren more after the election.

General Alexander Haig 1924-2010

This correspondent has been remiss in his duties by not posting. Scout camping, meetings and such have consumed time. Hopefully this week, your humble correspondent will get back to the grindstone and do some work.

"Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the President, the Vice President and the Secretary of State in that order, and should the President decide he wants to transfer the helm to the Vice President, he will do so. He has not done that. As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending return of the Vice President and in close touch with him. If something came up, I would check with him, of course."

Hand it to Alexander Haig, he was a true "take charge" kind of guy. He put himself out there, took the heat and got things done. Alexander Haig died over the weekend, he was 85.

Funny thing about Al, he was like Howard Cosell, you either loved him or hated him. There wasn't too much middle ground. He served three Presidents, Nixon, Ford and Reagan. As Nixon's Chief of Staff, he was reportedly the one who called the three wise men, Hugh Scott, Barry Goldwater and Howard Baker, to come and give Nixon the news that he would not survive an impeachment trial. He was also the one who told Kissinger that he was afraid that Nixon was unstable and ready to crack.

Al Haig advised Ford as well, all be it for a short time before returning the military, serving as the Supreme Allied Commander. He fought in Korea and Vietnam, served as an aid to General Douglas MacArthur, was with the NSA, Joint Chiefs, NATO and at the White House. He was a highly decorated solider who was awarded among other medals, the Distinguished Service Cross, two silver stars, a bronze star and a Purple Heart. General Haig was a true patriot who served his country in very difficult times. He retired from the military as a four star General.

General Haig served Ronald Reagan by being Reagan's Secretary of State and when Reagan was shot, it was Al Haig who went before the cameras asserting that he was fully in control and the government continued to function, even if he constitutionally didn't have the power.

In 1988 he ran for President, losing the primaries and the nomination to George H.W. Bush. He later became a writer and served on several board of directors.

This correspondent could probably write another thousand words and still wouldn't capture the life of General Haig and wouldn't do him justice. General Alexander Haig played a huge and highly significant role in this country's history and will be remembered as a man who was faithful to his country, to his family and to his God.

General Haig is survived by his wife of 60 years and his three children. Burial will be in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors.

We salute General Haig and wish him God's speed as he starts his service with the Ultimate Commander in Chief.

ARE YOU NUTS OR JUST DELUSIONAL?

Former United States Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced on Tuesday that she was a candidate for the 4th Congressional District, turning what could have been a gain for Republicans, into a hellacious defeat.

Was Alan Keys not available?
Ms. Buchanan who is forever tied to the witch hunts and waste of taxpayer's money for the malicious prosecutions of Tommy Chong and Dr. Cyril Wecht, thinks that after alienating both democrats and Republicans, she has a chance to win.

Ms. Buchanan is delusional if she thinks she can convince people that she will do the work of the people if she is sent to congress. She is a political hack who quite frankly does not follow what she purports to believe. Ms. Buchanan is reported to be a member of the Federalist Society, but certainly her prosecutorial record shows the opposite.

I have speculated here previously that for the prosecution of Dr Wecht, I was willing to bet that certain members of the democratic party in Allegheny County cut a deal with the gullible Ms. Buchanan. It is possible that because Mr. Altmire is a "centrist," the democrats might throw him under the bus.

Don't count on it.
The dems will not abandon Mr. Altmire and why should they? He voted for the stimulus, he voted for and then against he health care bill and probably will get on board when Queen Nancy needs him and he holds the seat for the dems.

This correspondent is not a big fan of Mr. Altmire. His campaign against Ms. Hart was sleazy, full of lies and was not focused on the issues. Mr. Altmire rails against the "big insurance companies," of which he was a part of for many years. It appears that Mr. Altmire will say or do anything to get elected.

To his credit, Mr. Altmire has been an advocate for veterans during his term(s) in office. He has been a "centrist" and he does show up for work, (Bob Casey call your office) evidence of this is his perfect voting record. On issues that matter to this correspondent (and in turn you the reader) he has tried to stradle that line, jumping on and off on both sides trying to keep everyone happy.

An appraisal of Mr. Altmire's congressional career from GOVTRACK.US reads: "Altmire is a follower according to our statistical analysis of bills in this legislative session. Altmire tends to cosponsors the bills of other Members of Congress who do not cosponsor Altmire’s own bills."

Mr. Altmire is "milk toast" at best. In the past, if the race was between Buchanan and Altmire, we would have held our noses, picked the lessor of two evils and voted for Altmire. Now we see that half a loaf is NOT better than none and will we will not violate our principals, values and core beliefs anymore.

If Ms. Buchanan is the Republican nominee, we will go and vote (we have a perfect voting record in both the primaries and general elections since 1976) but WILL NOT cast a vote for the 4th congressional district. We may write in our favorite candidate, Mickey Mouse.

If Ms. Buchanan is the winner of the Republican primary, then the Republicans can save some money and not plan on having a victory celebration in the 4th district on election night.

An Open Letter To God

Dear God:

Boy are you awesome! Talk about having the power to move mountains. Anyone who didn't believe in you before February surely HAS to believe in you now!

When you first started the snow it was beautiful. The snow on the branches and bushes made it look like a winter wonderland, something that you see in a fine painting or postcard. Words could not describe how beautiful it was.

Three feet was unbelievable! I hadn't seen that much snow in such a long time and it is something that my 10 year old will remember for the rest of his life. When we HAD to drive through some city neighborhoods, he got a big kick seeing all the chairs used to save dug out parking spaces.

It was fun for the kids, fun to watch them romp in the snow that was up to the 10 year old's hips and up to the neck of the 3 year old. We took pictures, made snowmen, snow forts and just had a good time. Yeah I trashed two snow blowers trying to clear the driveway and sidewalk, but it was nice.

The icicles hanging from the second floor are so beautiful the way they shimmer in the sun light.

Then, to show us that you really do have a sense of humor, within three days, you sent us another foot! That was a good one. Thanks for holding off until I got the 5hp snow thrower working, I really appreciated the favor and once again, I owe you.

The kids didn't have school for a week and one of the make-up days is Good Friday, I hope you don't mind that. While it wasn't my choice, seams the secular school district didn't really care about that day.

I lay awake at night jumping up at every creak I now hear, fearing that my back porch is going to fall two stories into the yard because of all the snow that is on the roof. You know that saftey cover I put on the cement pond to keep the kids and animals safe? Well, it has a screen in the middle to allow whatever snow we get to fill the pool so that I don't have to stick a hose in it and run up my water bill. The pool is only 18' x 36', but I have enough snow on it that when it melts, it will fill an olympic size pool.

Today I tried to move around another 6 inches of snow while the kids had a two hour delay.

Here's the problem Lord, I have over four and a half feet of snow in my yard. I have only been able to clear 21" (the width of the snow thrower) of my sidewalk. My double driveway is only clear about 3/4 of the normal width because I HAVE NO WHERE TO PUT THE SNOW! As fast as I blow it off the driveway, the side walls collapse and put it back in the driveway. Add to the fact that I have about 3 inches of ice at the front of the garage door from those sweet looking icicles hanging from the gutters.

Lord, I get the fact that there is NOTHING we as humans can do to control the weather. I know that we must be responsible in the way we take care of the earth you gave us and I am trying everything in my power to shut Al Gore up. You alone are the only one who has the power and there are millions of us who already knew that and I am sure there are now millions more who now realize that.

Lord, please turn off the snow. We really have had enough. We are not like Buffalo who knows what to do with all this snow. We never set our river on fire like Cleveland did and we don't have the fruits and nuts that California, Oregon and Washington have, so please stop the snow.

I humbly ask that you hear and answer my request so that we can try and get back to normal.

If it helps, I'll gladly write another column trashing Al Gore.

Sincerely yours,

The Anti-Macyapper.
