More big Government.

So San Francisco has successfully banned toys in happy meals. Why? Kids are overweight. Yep, and McDonald's happy meals are the problem.

Wait, wait I know what you are thinking, 6 year olds can't drive to McDonald's. They can't get jobs to to earn the money to buy happy meals so what's going on.

The answer, MORE BIG GOVERNMENT.

Oh no kids are overweight, blame McDonald's. No how about we blame the parents. I remember being little going to McDonald's as a treat and I also remember having to get milk with our meals. Was that forced upon me from the Government. Nope, but my Mom didn't allow us to have pop.

I know what your thinking a parent being responsible, that can't be. But its true. In our house you drank milk or water, you played outside all year round, you didn't play video games till your fingers bled, and you didn't sit in your room and watch tv (in fact you didn't have a tv to watch).

Did this need to be regulated by the Government? Nope. Does it need to be now? Nope.

Here's the thing, parents take kids to. McDonald's because its fast and easy. Do they know the nutrional values before buying happy meals? Most likely. Are parents going to stop going to McDonald's because little Timmy can't get a hotwheel car? No.

I am not a parent but what I do know is there is a two letter word that can be used to stop kids from doing things you don't want them to do. The word is NO. I am pretty sure kids aren't at home jonesing for McDonald's like its crack. And they don't force parents to go there.

Its your life, let people do what they want. The Government is not your Mommy. Nor should they be.

YOU'RE FIRED! F the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Juan Williams analyst for NPR and long time regular guest was fired from the TAXPAYER FUNDED news organization NPR for comments made on Bill O'Reilly, so what did he say:

"Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on the plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous."

And how did NPR respond to these comments?

"His remarks on The O'Reilly Factor this past Monday were inconsistent with our editorial standards and practices, and undermined his credibility as a news analyst with NPR,"

REALLY?!?!?! NPR editorial standards, calling people TEABAGGERS.  LOL!

And here is some more ridiculous statements from NPR.

Newbusters - Double Standards and Newsbusters - Juan Williams

Let me tell you something, I do not agree with Juan Williams often, in fact I rarely agree with his views, but should he be fired for stating his opinion?  Nope.  He feels like many Americans, in fact I will tell you I am terrified to fly because of 9/11, and I have the same reaction.  Just like if I was to be raped, I would be terrified by all men, and it is not a rational fear.  The odds of me being raped again would be slim, but I would always have that thought with me. 

Am I a bigot because of this?  Am I insensitive?  No I am scared and I am human.  Just like Juan Williams.  This hypocrisy has to stop.  Political Correctness has gone way to far, we can no longer speak how we feel for fear that we might lose a job, or be considered racist, or a bigot. 

I guess the First Amendment only applies to liberals, yet again.



 

Tale of Two Rallies

This weekend the liberals held their Rally to pull the nation together.  So I decided to compare the two rallies the (ONR and the RHR).

Restoring Honor Rally

Date: August 28, 2010

Mission: The mission of the rally is to recognize our First Amendment rights and honor the service members who fight to protect those freedoms.

Attendance: 500,000+

Paid Attendees: ZERO
Cost of Clean up: ZERO DOLLARS

One Nation Rally

Date: October 2, 2010

Mission:  To bring the nation together, to advance social issues.

Attendance: 100,000 Estimated.

Paid Attendees:  It brought together a variety of left leaning groups fighting for these themes, as well as LGBT rights, comprehensive immigration reform, peace, civil rights, environmental protection, and worker’s rights.

Cost of Clean up: 200,000 Taxpayer dollars

Now that isn't what I care about this is....

The liberals TRASHED the WWII memorial

Conservatives cleaned up their own trash.  

CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE COMPARISON OF RALLY

A watched pot never boils, but it does cry racism....

The Tea Party is racist, the Tea Party is racist, the Tea Party is racist.  Sick of this yet?  Your not alone.


This week the great minds at Think Progress, Media Matters, New Left Media, and with sponsorship with the NAACP put out a new website called teapartytracker.org it's mission is to...


MONITORS RACISM AND OTHER FORMS OF EXTREMISM WITHIN THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT. WE CALL ON THE TEA PARTY TO REMOVE EXTREMISTS WITHIN THEIR RANKS AND JOIN IN CIVIL DIALOGUE WITH ALL AMERICANS.


The site features a blog, real time news (twitter), and photo gallery.


Here is what bothers me about this, the left is again trying to stir the pot.  Trying to find the racists in a grassroots organization.  The Tea Party does not condone racism and does not encourage racism.  You are grouping a few nuts together to destroy a movement, because of fear.


The left is so concerned with the Tea Party Movement they do not understand that if they just do what the American People want, read the bills, vote with the majority and listen to the people.  They don't need to worry about the Tea Party.  


So let's do exactly what the left does, show a few nuts within their movement.


The Crazy Left


Now I could say like the NAACP and Think Progress do that the WHOLE entire leftist movement is CRAZY because of these pictures.  I mean the proof is right here staring you in the face.  And though I do not agree with the actions of the left or there point of view, I also have enough common sense to know that the all of the left is NOT as ignorant as the people in this video gallery.  


Every group has extremists, and every group has racists, and morons, but that does not mean the the group as a whole agrees with the individual.  And not every group can separate from what one individual does.   


This site www.teapartytracker.org is why racism exists within America, those who cry racism, are usually the ones whom hold racism.

Why is the MSM trying to glorify a terrorist?

As you probably have heard on many of the outlets of the MSM that the NYC attempted car bomber's life unraveled due to the economic recession. they wonder what led this man to terrorism? He had the American dream.

What led this man to terrorism? Islam. The MSM talks about Islam like it is a peaceful religion, when the Koran teaches nothing but hate towards people of a different religion and women.

And to get back to the terrorists life unraveling, first off he had a great job, was married, and bought a house for 273,000.

Stay with me here though okay, this is hard for the MSM to get so, oh who am kidding.

One, the job our attempted bomber had, he quit.

Two, the house our attempted bomber had, he stopped paying on.

Stop glorifying this idiot, he is nothing but scum, he didn't lose his house to Foreclosure he lost his house because he CHOSE to lose his house.

You know I do feel bad for people that legitimately lost their house due to the economic recession, but on the flip side there is people that knew what they were doing, they knew that they could not afford their mortgages and still signed that dotted line. The MSM has to stop telling everyone that everyone was a victim and everyone deserves a house and a car and 3 tv's. Contrary to belief no one owes you anything. And to give sympathy to a terrorist makes me sick.

He chose to try and kill Americans no one forced him to drastically change his life, to forfeit the American dream. No one forces you to do anything, we have the ability to chose the life we wish to lead, how far we go is up to us. The only person stopping you from succeeding is you.

The real question is why do we still call Islam a peaceful religion.

Ronald in chains, RIOT police for the elderly, and of course at some point you've made enough money

On MSNBC Wednesday morning Monica Novotny, interviewed Meme Roth.  Who is Meme Roth?  She is an anti-obesity activist in California.  What were they discussing?  A new law in Santa Clara County that bans the distribution of toys in kids meals at fast food restaurants.  The law claims that these fast food marketers use the toys as a device to lure children in and to coerce them to eat more junk food.


Really?  Kids would be eating vegetables and healthier if Ronald McDonald and his evil clown face didn't hand out toys with happy meals?  


Give me break.  And then instead of asking important questions or debating the other side Monica Novotny says: I think this is a big fight that you're taking on because these fast food chains have big endorsement deals with movie companies whenever there's a big film being released. These are big promotions and they've got big financial incentive to keep these. So I wonder if there's not a way to do it so that, I'm afraid you're going to lose the battle and I don't want to lose the battle, if you know what I'm saying.


Yeah your saying your leftist agenda is exactly what we need!  Parents should not be responsible for what they buy for their kids, that should be up to the Government and is the responsible for the people.  Not the other way around.  Are you kidding me?  


Shouldn't the parents be responsible with their child's well being. Or hey why is this even an issue, what makes the government or you the police of what people eat. Or kids are obese today, it's not because or public schooling system sucks so much that kids have to play to play or when budget cuts are needed they cut gym. Or better yet, should the parents be telling their kids to go outside and play instead of sitting them in front of the tv? This is a joke and I hope McDonald's and others fight this.

At a tea party rally in Florida where Obama happened to be speaking, Obama called in police in full riot gear, WHY?  Watch the video.

Obama to Wall Street





Hey Obama is 5.5 million dollars a year enough?  Because that is how much you made last year.  At no point has anyone made too much money.  This is Capitalism.  Not Communism.

Say no to amnesty

If the Obama administration gets their way they will grant amnesty. On their "pathway to citizenship." Even though 60% of the American people favor immigration reform of that of Arizona's new bill (Rasmussen Reports).

And how would amnesty affect you? 40% to 60% of illegal immigrants do not have a high school diploma and most of them have low paying jobs, and according to The Heritage Foundation illegal immigrants cost $3 to $4 dollars for every dollar they would pay in taxes.

In some cases illegal immigrants would qualify for benefits such as, welfare, food stamps, medicaid and certain tax-credits you don't have to pay a Federal Income Tax to qualify for.

According to FOX news people earning under $15,000 would have paid an estimated $1.27 over five years. The same average for those making $30,000 to $50,000k would be $48. The bill would have cost Americans bringing home $100,000 to $200,000 an average of $365 over five years, or $73 a year.

The costs alone are too much to bear on the American tax payer in an already struggling economy.

Oh the lies the MSM tells

The Christian Science monitor claims that there are only 67,000 Tea Party Members nationwide.

While Newsweek claims some lady threw a coffee party, on a whim and 200,000 people showed.

Let's think about this for a minute and look at some facts.  Let's just go with how many people like each movement on Facebook. (keep in mind also the MSM discussed the "coffee" party and they had 166,000 members on Facebook in days.  While the MSM never gives the Tea Party attention).

COFFEE PARTY - 206,727, 1,627, 41 total members of top three "like" pages on Facebook
=208,401

TEA PARTY -  185,065, 1,065, 67,090 total members of the top three like pages on Facebook
=253,220

But if you go state by state and look at the figures the number for the "coffee" party the numbers drop considerably compared to the Tea Parties.

MICHIGAN COFFEE PARTY 1,627
MICHIGAN TEA PARTY- oh yeah that's right we don't have links to sites on the corporate Facebook page like the "coffee" party.

And if you look at the numerous pictures of the rallies...oh wait there is none.

But I can tell you that 3000+ showed up in Clinton twp. when the tea party express was here and only 44 showed up for the "coffee" party when they held a rally in Troy.  And 1 million Tea Partiers Marched on Washington 9/12.

You be the judge.

Around the week in a few short stories

GM PAYS BACK AUTO BAILOUT?
Well not really, GM was able to repay the money by drawing down on a line of credit that it had from TARP!  In other words, GM took funds still available to it through TARP and used those funds to repay the loan it received from the government.  Of course, it now owes $4.7 billion on its line of credit with TARP, but, that doesn't make for good news, so it wasn't reported.


ARIZONA PASSES IMMIGRATION BILL
In a controversial move and fed up with waiting for the federal government to step in and help Arizona passed sweeping legislation.  The measure creates a new state misdemeanor crime of willful failure to complete or carry an alien registration document. It would allow officers to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they're legally in the country.


DETROIT POLICE: STRIP CLUB EMPLOYED 14 YEAR OLD
The manager of a Detroit strip club was charged after authorities learned a 14-year-old girl was employed as a topless dancer, making several hundred dollars a night, authorities said Friday.  The 31-year-old manager of the All Star topless bar was arraigned Friday on a charge of child sexually abusive activity. Andrew Hutson was arrested Wednesday night at the club on Eight Mile Road. The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, is believed to have danced at the club several nights each week, making about $350 per night, Police Chief Warren Evans said at a news conference across the street from the establishment.

Obama hates gays... Seriously.

Earlier this week A group of Gay Rights Protesters chained themselves to the White House fence.  The small demonstration consisted of 6 military veterans who handcuffed themselves to the fence.  They group was protesting the "don't ask, don't tell policy that Obama promised to repeal months ago.  The don't ask, don't tell policy bans gays from openly serving in the military.

When reporters tried to cover the event police stepped in and declared the park to be closed, backing up reporters and citizens to Lafayette Park.

The closure lasted 15-20 minutes and police changed their minds about "closing" the park and let the reporters and public back in just as they were getting arrested.

No where could I find this on the MSM and I ask, if this was still Bush's Administration would the coverage be different?  I think we all know the answer to this one.

WHAT WAS SHOWN ON THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED

Debbie Does Government Agencies too.

Instead of the S E C (the securities and exchange commission) doing their job, policing the financial system, they were downloading hours of porn on Government issued computers throughout the worst collapse of the economy in 70 years.
The SEC's inspector general conducted 33 probes of employees looking at explicit images in the past five years, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press.

The memo says 31 of those probes occurred in the 2 1/2 years since the financial system teetered and nearly crashed.

Not only does this violate Government wide ethics rules but it was all done on... You guessed the American taxpayers expense.

The report comes just days after the
S E C charged Goldman Sachs with fraud and days before the Senate tries to overhaul the financial system.

The memo was written by SEC Inspector General David Kotz in response to a request from Republican Sen. Charles Grassley. It summarizes past inspector general probes and reports some shocking findings:

-- A senior attorney at the SEC's Washington headquarters spent up to eight hours a day looking at and downloading pornography. When he ran out of hard drive space, he burned the files to CDs or DVDs, which he kept in boxes around his office. He agreed to resign, an earlier watchdog report said.

-- An accountant was blocked more than 16,000 times in a month from visiting websites classified as "Sex" or "Pornography." Yet he still managed to amass a collection of "very graphic" material on his hard drive by using Google images to bypass the SEC's internal filter, according to an earlier report from the inspector general. The accountant refused to testify in his defense, and received a 14-day suspension.

-- Seventeen of the employees were "at a senior level," earning salaries of up to $222,418.

-- The number of cases jumped from two in 2007 to 16 in 2008. The cracks in the financial system emerged in mid-2007 and spread into full-blown panic by the fall of 2008.

Another Government Agency that fails to protect the markets and the American people.

I'm a socialist

This week former ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis told a young Democratic Socialist group that they should "do everything they can to build their organization and the times we are living in are worse then the Jim Crow era."

She then went on to say "Any of these groups that says, "I'm young, I'm Democratic, and I'm a socialist," is okay with me. You know that's no light thing to do -- to actually say, I'm a socialist."

But wait there's more "They are coming. And they are coming after you. And they are going to be brutal and oppressive. They've already shown it. ... This is not rhetoric or hyperbole -- this is real. ... This tea party so-called movement -- a bowel-movement in my estimation -- and this blatant uncovering and ripping off the mask of racism..."

Here is why this is such a big deal or as Joe Biden would say "a big f**king deal.". One, although ACORN "disbanded" when they were caught on video helping "clients" cover up a prostitution ring. Unfortunately they never actually disbanded and to make matters worse Congress who took away there federal funding months ago just reinstated it.

Two, like I just said they receive federal funding and they received huge amounts of money in Obama's "stimulus" bill. Why should my tax money go to this socialist group?

Three, they covered up or at least tried to cover up voter fraud.

The problem I have is that Obama is very close to this group I mean he practically started his career there. And to top it off the only reason they were included in the stimulus is because Obama had to give them a kickback for helping him get elected.

So our taxpayer money will still go to ACORN and we still will fund liars and the only way to change it is to vote them out in November.

An Inconvenient Dupe

Another country (New Zealand) is now looking into whether or not to show a warning before showing Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth" in schools.

In 2007 a British judge ruled that the movie contained so much false information that it had to be disclosed to students before being shown.

The petition in New Zealand signed by 250 people argues that students should not be exposed to political indoctrination and asks Parliament to insert into the Education Act provisions similar to those in the British act.

In order for the film to be shown [in England], the Government must first amend their Guidance Notes to Teachers to make clear that 1.) The Film is a political work and promotes only one side of the argument. 2.) If teachers present the Film without making this plain they may be in breach of section 406 of the Education Act 1996 and guilty of political indoctrination. 3.) Eleven inaccuracies have to be specifically drawn to the attention of school children. [Newsbusters]

Instead of informing children or these things why just not show the movie? It has been proven to be inaccurate and with the recent scandal of climategate. And to add to that only 18% of American people think global climate change is real.

Al Gore invented Global Climate Change just like he invented the internet.

Speak Softly and Carry a BIG stick

In the 1900's Theodore Roosevelt said, "speak softly and carry a big stick, you will go far."  And in 2010 Kenyetta Wilbourn does just that.  Wilbourn is Principle of one of Detroit's worst performing high schools and to protect herself she uses an aluminium baseball bat.  In 2007 Wilbourn started carrying the bat as an assistant principle when a violent fight broke out. Rather than rushing in head first, she grabbed the bat her 9-year-old son had left in her office and worked her way through a crowd that was beating a young man, who eventually died.


"There was chaos everywhere," Wilbourn told the WJR this morning.  "My first thought when responding to a 'code red' was to grab my bat. And I found while the bat didn't save the life, it saved me, and I've carried it ever since."


And while it may seem that a principle carrying a baseball bat is out of line, Wilborn maintains that she only  carries the bat for self-defense and as of yet no parents have complained.  


And just to be clear Wilbourn does not carry the bat at all times only when she is patrolling halls and is outside on campus.  


Although the schools academics are declining I would like to commend this lady for not worrying about political correctness.  She feels threatened and instead of someone explaining to her family that she was killed, she is taking steps herself to protect and defend not only herself but her students as well.  


"What we try to provide for the students is what some of them may not have at home, and that's the feeling of belonging to a village and family," she said.

"If you intend to do anything that might disrupt the process, then you don't belong in the village, and there must be some place else your parent might want to take you, because you won't survive or last at Denby;" Wibourn.

Deutsch incorrectly labels IRS bomber a Republican

MSNBC's Donny Deutsch kicked off a week long segment this week, "America the Angry.". In the segment he hinted that certain people in this country could incite an Oklahoma City style attack.

He then goes on to mention Joe Stack, the moron that flew a plane into an IRS building. Here is the direct quote, "I don't know. Whether he was Republican or Democrat I am assuming he was probably a Republican."

Are you serious? This is wrong on so many levels the first being that you are a journalist. You don't assume anything especially on air in front of an audience. Second, who cares what party this guy belonged to. This guy was a straight up wacko. But let's play MSNBC's game let's assume this guy was a Republican and take a look at the facts.

1. Joe Stack in his manifesto argued against capitalism (Sounds like Democrat to me).
2. He hated Bush and ranted against the war in Iraq (Sounds like a democrat to me).
3. He quoted the Communist Manifesto (sounds like a Democrat to me).

Now when you actually look at the facts you can obviously tell he was a Democrat. But that is not the point. The point is MSNBC and it's counter parts are the ones inciting violence. Saying everything has racial undertones. The only good thing is MSNBC only has 3 viewers.

Mr. Clinton What Happened?

This week former President Clinton announced that Congress should be careful in what they say because of the rise in Right Wing Extremism.  Then Mr. Clinton went on to say  "it should not be forgotten what drove the Oklahoma bombers. They took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government and that public servants do not protect our freedoms but abuse them."


So now you are linking the OC bombing to the Tea Partiers?  What are you trying to say Mr. Clinton?  Needless to say that today was very uneventful.  No bombings, no hate rallies, No one getting all crazy because of what Tim McVeigh, a Domestic Terrorist, decided to to that fateful day 15 years ago.  


The Tea Partiers are not hateful, we do not want to destroy the Government, we do not want to blow up buildings, or kill people. 


Mr. President I think you need to apologize for your remarks you should also apologize for your lousy presidency. 


Check out the article here Political Rhetoric.

Are you Serious?

During the April 11, TPE in Clinton Township my Uncle Bob, Cousin Keith, Dad and I were interviewed by an independent blogger named Matt Lane.  He has his own blog (which can be found here) Politifeed and you can also become a fan of his Facebook page Politifeed Fan Page.

Now he interviewed us for a good 5-10 minutes, I will be fair and say that he did ask some good questions however, he claims to be unbiased, but as I am about to show you he is not.

Here is the video...
Clinton Township TPE

You can see us at the 1:15 mark and we got 10 seconds in this video.  And the only line that he used was from my Uncle Bob saying "no we are not upset, we are pissed."  Here is my question to Mr. Lane.  You claim to be an unbiased journalist but this video clearly shows you being biased.  You cut from the video what you Choose to show.  Show everything we said to you Mr. Lane.  We made good valid points and because they did not fit your point of view you decided to cut it out.

I told you from the beginning that I knew that you were a lib.  I watched you operate the whole time.  You want to be unbiased show the whole video.  I look at your Facebook fan page and all you talk about is liberal issues you do not have a fair and balanced point of view.

Don't come back either and say that I don't either, because I will tell you I don't.  I try to look at things from a liberal point of view but I can't stomach the nonsense.

I told you I would come to your site, I told you that you were a liberal.  You did an excellent editing job I just wish your blog followers knew how biased you really are.

Videos that you should take a look at

I stumbled upon these videos today these are taped by an independent blogger and they and his other writings can be found here TheBlogProf .
