Freedom?

Filed under: Demonrats , Kender @ 3:15 pm

You have your freedom says Uncle Sam
to do as you are told
From where to drive to where to park
and how you can grow old
We regulate the food you eat
how you can live and die
And go to school and congregate,
the waters and the sky
We have the best in mind for you
we know what’s best in life
The huddled masses have no clue
so let us end your strife
We’ll hand out things like free health care,
education and job training
We’ll even give out umber-ella’s
for days that it is raining
We know the things we legislate
aren’t in the constitution
But all our plans to keep you well
will soon come to fruition
When BHO is sitting in
the Not so White House Chair
He’ll mandate things that take away
those pesky little layers
Of freedom that you still possess
to do things as you please
And we will own your unwashed ass
from birth to death you see
We hate to do it that’s for sure
it’s lot of work for us
To ride in limo’s telling you
to just go ride the bus
But you must listen to our rules
our laws and edicts too
Our regulations and the drivel
that we always spew
We know what’s best so just shut up
and go with our big plan
To give you everything you need
from our abundant land
The taxes that you pay today
will feed you on the morrow
You’ll feel a great relief you see
and not one bit of sorrow
Freedom’s over rated now
so do us all a favor
Quit complaining that we steal
the fruits of all your labor
If we don’t take away the cash
you work so hard to get
How can we take care of all
the hordes of lazy shits
That vote for us and sit around
collecting welfare money
We think your stingy attitude
is not one damned bit funny
So vote for us at election time
we know just where it’s at
We are freedoms worst nightmare
we are the democrats

Put Up or Shut Up–The Plan to Destroy the Democratic Socialists

Filed under: Communist, Socialist & Nazi , Demonrats , General , Kender @ 12:34 am

I was going to call this post “Put Up Or Shut Up, The Master Plan to Utterly Destroy the Democratic Socialists and Rake Hillary and Her Ilk into the Dustbin of History” but that was simply too long of a title.

Like most men I do a little contemplating each and every day, usually while sitting in traffic or on the can. Men think best when they are either under pressure or sitting alone, and I have never known a man to get a good idea while a woman was around unless that idea involved said woman becoming nude at the earliest possible moment, but that is a post for another day.

So today sitting in traffic I came up with an idea so brilliant in its’ simplicity, so utterly daring, so astoundingly forward thinking that if we can pull it off we will be considered, in the history books under Ideas that Saved the Republic, second only to the Greatest Generation that saved the world from Jewless Fascism…..or maybe the third greatest if you count the lads that fought the civil war….nono…fourth greatest (can’t forget about the Revolution can we?) so we would, if we do this, be the fourth greatest generation of American Patriots ever.

Now before I get into this plan I must say it is going to take serious sacrifice. It is going to take ignoring principles and doing something you never thought you would be doing, but I am convinced that radical times take radical measures, and this plan, once it is unveiled in all its’ glory, will save the republic and destroy democratic socialism. When I outline step two you are gonna wanna quit reading, but you must soldier on to step three, for that is where the plan gets brilliant.

Ready?

OK.

Step One: Start hiding assets. Liquidate and hide all assets as soon as possible. The reason for this will become apparent in step three.

Step Two: Vote for Hillary. DON’T STOP READING.

Step Three: The day after Hillary’s inauguration get yourself fired, or if you have to just quit.

Step Four: The next day go apply for welfare and/or unemployment. The reason for hiding your assets is that the government only wants to take care of you once you can’t take care of yourself, so you are gonna have to at least appear poor.

The Democratic Socialists say they can take care of us from cradle to grave, so I say let’s call them on it. Let’s refuse to work and let them worry about where all that money is gonna come from to take care of us. The upshot is once us conservatives aren’t working we can spend all of our time protesting the government and demanding that they give us that free health care, housing and food that they seem to think are rights and not rewards for a life well lived.

Sure, the economy will crash, the government will fall into chaos and things will get really bad, but once this happens the platform of cradle to grave care that the Democratic Socialists tout will be shown as the dead end nation killing system that it is and we can vote in some real conservatives, get back to work and fix the country, thereby permanently ridding ourselves of the scourge of socialism that is set to ruin this once great republic.

Vote for Hillary. It may be our only chance.

Monster.com and other Job Boards are stealing your personal identification

With so many millions who are out-of-work and signing up on job boards, I believe it’s downright disgusting criminal behavior how these companies steal identities of those who are unemployed … below is just part of the story — the link will tell you more…

Cyber crooks are targeting a wave of new attacks at people searching for jobs online, security experts warn. Oddly enough, the criminals behind this scam appear to be just as interested in hiring you as they are in hijacking your PC.

Over the course of the past few weeks, virus writers have set their sights on users of job search giant Monster.com and at least one other jobs site with tainted online advertisements designed to install malicious software on the visitors’ machines, according to SecureWorks, an Atlanta-based security and research firm.

SecureWorks says that since May, more than 40,000 people have had their personal information stolen — including Social Security numbers, bank account data and job site credentials — thanks to a Trojan horse program that was planted in several advertisements running on the jobs sites. Some of these ads required a visitor to actually click on them before the Trojan could do its dirty work, while in other cases the Trojan appeared to swing into action as soon as the page hosting the ad was served, researchers found.

SecureWorks researcher Don Jackson said the Trojan was developed using a toolkit sold in black market forums under the name “icepack.” The toolkit is similar to the Mpack toolkit that surfaced earlier this year. It generates Trojans that probe for the absence of several software security updates holes that then permit the program to deliver its viral payload. Among the many weapons in its arsenal are exploits for recently patched security vulnerabilities in Apple’s QuickTime and Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. It also includes exploits for multiple Web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera.

SecureWorks classifies the Trojan as a variant of the Prg Trojan, a fast-evolving piece of malware that appears to have been developed in tandem by different criminal groups. Secure Science Corp., the San Diego company that first spotted the Prg Trojan in late 2006, has a very detailed analysis (PDF) of the way it operates and some theories about its creators.

Anti-virus maker Symantec Corp. has been monitoring the attacks, which the company attributes to a Trojan its software recognizes as “Infostealer.Monstres.” According to Symantec, the malware steals sensitive data posted by victims to Monster.com and then relays that information to a Web site controlled by the attackers. The Trojan also directs a victim’s PC to blast out junk e-mail.

Symantec’s advisory doesn’t say what that spam looks like, but SecureWorks’s Jackson said the junk e-mails are typical work-at-home scams that include the Trojan as an attachment.

Part of the reason employment forums are being targeted may be that job search sites have truly massive numbers of visitors each day. But there appears to be another angle in play here: The scammers really are trying to recruit new employees.

Work-at-home scams propagated through e-mail are almost always recruitment schemes run by organized criminal groups. The groups typically troll job boards and forums looking for potential “mules,” people who agree — sometimes unknowingly — to launder stolen funds or reship commercial goods on behalf of fraudsters.

22nd Annual Muslim Day Parade

Filed under: General , Raven , Terrorism and Islam @ 9:01 am

This is just wrong.

On September 9, 2007, a pre-9/11 celebration of sorts will be taking place in New York City, as Islamists from across the Tri-State area will congregate there for the 22nd Annual Muslim Day Parade. If past parades are any indication, law enforcement will need to be on high alert, as the participants have been amongst the most radical in the nation. Will the city allow this denigration of a very somber day to take place, or will it remember its many victims of terrorism and shut it down?

The parade is being run by the Muslim Foundation of America (MFA), an organization located in the Astoria section of Queens that was founded in 1983, around the time of the first annual parade. In actuality, both the MFA and the parade appear to be the same entity with different names, as the MFA’s website, since it was first created in October of 2003, has been devoted almost entirely to discussing the parade.

Thousands are expected to attend this year’s event. In the past, the number of parade-goers has varied. While some participants may be coming out to experience a day of fun with their fellow religionists, others have an alternative agenda.

A pre 9-11 CELEBRATION? Hmm. One of the most somber days in American history has been hijacked by those who are responsible for the attacks of this day in 2001.

The Grand Marshal for the 2006 parade was Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam who is known for his fiery speeches, including those that have been considered threatening to the United States. In February of 1995, Wahhaj was named – along with such people as Osama bin Laden and bin Laden’s mentor, Abdullah Azzam – as a potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Another Grand Marshal of a past parade was Muzzamil Siddiqi, the former President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a mosque umbrella organization that was recently named a co-conspirator to the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. Siddiqi, like Wahhaj, has also verbally threatened the United States, stating in October of 2000, “America has to learn. If you remain on the side of injustice, the wrath of G-d will come.” There are pictures of Siddiqi speaking at the parade, on the MFA site.

Does this surprise anyone? All these Muslim groups who aspire to share the wonders of their religion, one of peace, are full of our enemies who aspire to attack us again. These Islamafreakoids preach hate and inspire their young to become martyrs for the cause.

On the MFA website, in addition to the parade photo gallery, there is also a section titled, “USEFUL LINKS.” Four out of the five links listed (complete with their logos) are national organizations which have been found to be part of the violent Muslim Brotherhood overseas. They include the aforementioned ICNA and ISNA, as well as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA). CAIR was created by the American propaganda wing of Hamas, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), in 1994, and the MSA was the first organization created by the Brotherhood within the United States, in 1963.

Along with the parade, the MFA will be holding an essay contest for children and young adults. The themes for the different age groups vary. For those age 9 – 13 it is ‘Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the best Role Model,’ for ages 14 – 18 it’s ‘The Man is the Best Creation of Allah (SWT),’ and for ages 19 – 23 it’s ‘The Purpose of my Life.’

Uugh. And will New Yorkers allow this?

Shamsi Ali, a member of the parade’s Board of Trustees, runs a children’s madrassa – the Jamaica Muslim Center in Queens – where boys sit all day, Monday through Friday, and memorize the Quran by rote. One of his students and possible participant in the essay contest, a 13 year old named Sameer Uddin, explained to The New York Times his reasons for staying enrolled in Ali’s class. Bringing up disturbing illusions to thoughts of future martyrdom, Sameer stated, “I want to take my parents to heaven.”

Good ole American values here at work huh?

The organizers of the parade state that one of their objectives is “to demonstrate and clarify Islamic values and traditions.”

And they’re doing just this. Islamic values of death, terror, and taking over the free world via these activities.

The fact that this parade is taking place so close to Ground Zero is an insult to the memory of the 3,000 people who perished there six years before. The event should be taken as a threat to public safety and, therefore, it is incumbent on the city of New York to not only watch all of those involved, but to work to shut down the event completely, along with the sponsoring organizations.

If you are concerned about this parade taking place in New York City two days prior to the anniversary of 9/11 – if you are concerned this parade is taking place at all – contact the Mayor’s office.

September 11th is not the day for Muslims to be out and about marching in any way, shape or form. To call this a celebration speaks to what the true meaning of this day is for Muslims. It’s criminal that these people get away with this.

It’s All Just a Name, Right?

This is absurd.
And dangerous thinking on the part of a Roman Catholic Bishop.

A proposal by a Roman Catholic bishop in the Netherlands that people of all faiths refer to God as “Allah” is not sitting well with the Catholic community.

Tiny Muskens, an outgoing bishop who is retiring in a few weeks from the southern diocese of Breda, said God doesn’t care what he is called.

“Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn’t we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? … What does God care what we call him? It is our problem,” Muskens told Dutch television.

“I’m sure his intentions are good but his theology needs a little fine-tuning,” said Father Jonathan Morris, a Roman Catholic priest based in Rome. Morris, a news analyst for FOX News Channel, also called the idea impractical.

“Words and names mean things,” Morris said. “Referring to God as Allah means something.”

In the civilized world where peoples are free, names and titles don’t mean too much. But in the world of Islam, names are everything. Allah is not my God. He was a pedophile. A drunk. A man who abused women. A freak. I will never bow to him; I will spit upon his BOOK and all mosques and anything else ISLAM. His followers have caused much of this world’s wars and destruction. ALLAH is no GOD. This Bishop is pandering. Like the Brits and food during Ramadan. Like the Brits and special hospitals for Muslims. Like all the silly and special laws given to this religion of Peace…it’s cowarding down to them.

I won’t be a coward.

Disclaimer: I am a Catholic, but I don’t actively practice my religion. I have never even read the Bible.

    Obama Derangement Syndrome

    Filed under: Demonrats , Obama , Raven @ 4:50 pm

    What is up with Elizabeth Edwards? Has she gone mad? I think so…and I think she should keep on doing what’s she is doing because it will ruin her husbands chances of getting elected. Hmm…MAYBE that is WHY she’s doing these things???


    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

    NEW YORK — Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic candidate John Edwards, lambastes his rival Barack Obama as “holier than thou” on the Iraq war and accuses Hillary Rodham Clinton of failing to show leadership on health care and Iraq.

    As her husband trails Clinton and Obama in national polls, Elizabeth Edwards has been an outspoken critic of his opponents. Last month, she said her husband would be a better champion for women as president than Clinton and more recently said, “We can’t make John black, we can’t make him a woman. Those things get you a lot of press, worth a certain amount of fundraising dollars.”

    In an interview published in the August issue of The Progressive magazine, Elizabeth Edwards complained about Obama, who opposed the war when he was a state legislator in Illinois and later as a Senate candidate but has since voted for funds for the military.

    She’s attacking Obama, Hillary, and everyone else.

    “And honestly, the other candidates?” Elizabeth Edwards asked. “Obama gives a speech that’s likely to be extraordinarily popular in his home district, and then comes to the Senate and votes for funding … So you are going to get people behaving in a holier-than-thou way. But John stood up when he was in the Senate for exactly the thing he’s asking these people to stand up for now.”

    OOh, she’s a swinging that bat, hard!

    On health care, Edwards said Obama’s plan for universal coverage was inadequate because it left 15 million uninsured. Obama has said his plan would become universal over time, after his proposed reforms reduce the cost of insurance enough so people can afford to buy it.

    She also criticized Clinton for not producing a health care plan and for questioning whether there was sufficient “political will” to enact universal care.

    Uh…so what is John Boy’s Plan?? I don’t recall it being any better or really any different than anyone else’s…

    Edwards even suggested Obama’s signature theme — a plea for hope and political unity — had been lifted from her husband’s 2004 presidential campaign.

    “You listen to the language of what people say, particularly Obama, who seems to be using a lot of John’s 2004 language,” Edwards said, noting that Obama’s media adviser, David Axelrod, worked for Edwards that year.

    Do we get the sense of some Obama Derangement Syndrome happening here? I think so. Like I said it’s all good. Let the Lemoncrats implode upon one another. They offer nothing new or different or fresh. It’s the same OLD SAME old. So progressive they are. (More like passive- aggressive perhaps?)

    The sight of food will upset Muslim workers

    Only in Great Britain. For now.

    DOCTORS and health workers have been banned from eating lunch at their desks - in case it offends their Muslim colleagues.

    Health chiefs believe the sight of food will upset Muslim workers when they are celebrating the religious festival Ramadan.

    The lunch trolley is also to be wheeled out of bounds as the 30-day fast begins next month.

    Hmm…Why pander to the Muslims?

    But staff and politicians branded the move political correctness gone mad and warned that it was a step too far.

    Bill Aitken, the Scottish Conservative justice spokesman, said: “This advice, well-meaning as it may be, is total nonsense.

    “It is the sort of thing that can stir up resentment rather than result in good relations.”

    Yep…exactly. And more than that: What’s next? Forbidden meals in entire buildings where a Muslim might be working??– due to the scent of cooking food? Will they not allow people to eat pork chops or bacon?

    The new guidance comes in the wake of the failed terror attacks on Glasgow and the death of suspect Kafeel Ahmed, 27.

    Health chiefs in Lothian and Glasgow will give all employees time off to pray and to celebrate Eid, which marks the end of Ramadan.

    Will they give the other employees, the doctors and nurses, time off to leave the premises to buy meals?

    But Greater Glasgow and Clyde as well as Lothian NHS boards also issued the advice, warning workers not to take working lunches, and said all vending machines should be removed from areas where Muslims work.

    One senior consultant said: “What next? Are we going to have advice on how to deal with Catholics during Lent?
    “This kind of thing does more harm than good.”

    The guidance, which was sent round many organisations, was produced by Glasgow consultancy Meem, which advises on Muslim issues and counts the Scottish Parliament among its clients.

    Taking away vending machines? No. They’re pandering to low now. Muslims have no more special rights than any one else of any other faith. This giving IN will do nothing to fend off future acts of terrorism. Knowing this, if I were employed at a hospital that made these policy changes, I would not only eat at my desk, I would stand outside the nearest door barbecuing pork ribs and chops and would give them away to all my peers. Every single day of Ramadan. Offending to the Muslims? Tough shit. They offend me when they attack and blow up my fellow citizens.

    A Serious Sin?

    Filed under: GOP And RINOs , General , News , Raven @ 5:19 am

    Uh oh…the Left is going to play up this.

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, whose telephone number was disclosed by the so-called “D.C. Madam” accused of running a prostitution ring, says he is sorry for a “serious sin” and that he has already made peace with his wife.

    “This was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible,” Vitter said Monday in a printed statement. “Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there - with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way.”

    Why do all these polecats seem to think, if they claim they’ve turned to God after doing these things, all will be ok and good? I think it’s the standard phrase and excuse these days…do something bad, or illegal, and go to church, or rehab, and all is well.

    And, his name is the only one in the Madam’s book worthy of any attention?

    Sheehan: The Woman needs Help.

    The Sheepdogg vs. Cruella DeVille?

    CRAWFORD, Texas — Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to seek House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks.

    Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That’s when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting next week from the group’s war protest site near Bush’s Crawford ranch.

    Hmm. Does Cindy Sheepdogg realize that, if she wins Pelosi’s seat (which is a FAR CHANCE if any) she would not be Madam Speaker? She would be a junior member of the club, and most certainly would have to earn the respect of her colleagues. Cindy doesn’t have a chance. She’s lost all of the little amount of credibility she ever had.

    I feel bad for the Sheep. She’s a crazy woman who needs help, and lots of it. She used the death of her son to gain attention; the left used Cindy as a mouthpiece for their agenda. She wrongly believes that the left will continue to support here now. Cindy has made the mistake of challenging one of the status quo-career gals. She will be abandoned and ignored. In all this, who remembers her son Casey? I guarantee you all it’s not Cindy; it’s not the left. Casey’s family- siblings and his father, remember him and are forever embarrassed by his mothers antics. It’s a shame.

    Live Earth? Yawnings and Doldrums

    Filed under: Environmentalism , General , Raven , moonbat hysteria @ 12:26 pm

    So Live Earth went live over the weekend. How did it go?

    The Live Earth concert promoted by former Vice President Al Gore received plenty of media coverage and hype, but most Americans tuned out. Just 22% said they followed news stories about the concert Somewhat or Very Closely. Seventy-five percent (75%) did not follow coverage of the event.

    Doesn’t surprise me at all.

    By way of comparison, eight-in-ten voters routinely said they were following news coverage of the recent Senate debate over immigration. Fifty-four percent (54%) said they followed news coverage of the President’s decision to commute Scooter Libby’s sentence.

    Some things are more important to Americans.

    Skepticism about the participants may have been a factor in creating this low level of interest. Most Americans (52%) believe the performers take part in such events because it is good for their image. Only 24% say the celebrities really believe in the cause while another 24% are not sure. One rock star who apparently shared that view is Matt Bellamy of the band Muse. Earlier in the week, he jokingly referred to Live Earth as “private jets for climate change.”

    No duh. The performers were bland to put it nicely…boring, dull, yawn-evoking dorks who can’t seem to find their own voice without being attached to some political stand. Never mind that people view these baffoons as being spoiled brats who don’t live what they preach.

    Only 34% believe that events like Live Earth actually help the cause they are intended to serve. Forty-one percent (41%) disagree. Those figures include 10% who believe the events are Very Helpful and 20% who say they are Not at All Helfpul. Adding to the skepticism, an earlier survey found that just 24% of Americans consider Al Gore an expert on Global Warming.

    AlBore is NOT an expert. He’s a blow hard. And his association with Global Warming spews more jokes than anything else. After the jokes, people realize he’s just a politician. With an agenda.

    It wasn’t just Americans who were bored and unimpressed with Live Earth either.

    Organisers of the global music concert - punctuated by swearing from presenters and performers - had predicted massive viewing figures.

    But BBC’s live afternoon television coverage attracted an average British audience of just 900,000.

    In the evening, when coverage switched from BBC2 to BBC1, the figure rose to just 2.7 million.

    And the peak audience, which came when Madonna sang at Wembley, was a dismal 4.5 million. Three times as many viewers saw the Princess Diana tribute on the same channel six days before.

    Two years ago, Live 8 drew a peak television audience of 9.6million while Live Aid notched 10million in 1985.

    The BBC blamed the poor figures on Saturday’s good weather and said its Wimbledon tennis coverage had drawn away afternoon viewers.

    Critics said however that the public had simply snubbed what they saw as a hypocritical event.

    Exactly. (Did I mention, too, that it’s BORING??)

    More about the low attendance at many of the Live Earth events.

    I don’t think we need pussyfoot around when talking about terrorism…

    Filed under: Europe and the frogs , General , News , Raven @ 9:26 am

    Not all members of Britain’s Parliament agree with dropping the use of the words, Muslim and War on Terror:

    In responding to Smith’s words, Tory backbencher Philip Davies wondered, “What purpose is served by this? I don’t think we need pussyfoot around when talking about terrorism.” As one reader asked on the Daily Express’ Web site, “Well, if they aren’t Muslims, what the hell are they? They sure aren’t Methodists or Quakers.”

    It is true that not all Muslims are terrorists, nor should all be under suspicion. It’s also true that, save for the occasional convert, most terrorists have been young Muslim males of Middle Eastern or Asian descent. To some, this is profiling. In police work, it’s called a description of the suspects.

    Now, we read this news of a new threat here in America:

    PHILADELPHIA — Two doctors accused of plotting last weekend’s failed terror bombings in London and Glasgow inquired about coming to the United States to continue their medical studies, the FBI confirmed Friday.

    FBI spokeswoman Nancy O’Dowd confirmed a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer that the pair took preliminary steps to apply for graduate medical programs in the U.S.

    This is the first suggestion that any of the suspected Islamic terrorists in Britain wanted to come to the United States.

    One of the doctors was identified as Mohammed Jamil Asha, 26, a neurologist from Jordan who was arrested in a car on the M6 Highway near Manchester, England, with his wife and 1 1/2-year-old son after the failed attacks.

    The Inquirer could not determine the identity of the second doctor.

    SO if we don’t profile, or even consider the nation these student doctors are coming from, how can we defend against a potential attack? Is watching and tracking young men of middle eastern decent SUCH a bad thing? I don’t think so. This War on Terror is not something we can describe as anything else; we can’t be politically correct about it. Too much is at stake. Britain can go soft and she will pay the price, but America is stronger than that.
