Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif), The Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives, has suggested that the sources of funding for the opposition for the Mosque at Ground Zero be looked into.

“There is no question that there is a concerted effort to make this a political issue by some,” she said in remarks posted Tuesday in a video on the San Francisco Chronicle website. “And I join those who have called for looking into how is this opposition to the mosque (is) being funded.”

Yah.

Riiiiiiight!

This from the same one who accused people who don’t like Obamacare of “carrying Swasticas”.

Sure.

Whatever you say, Madame Speaker.

Reminds me of Hillary prating about the “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.

Short answer, “Hell No!”

Long Answer, “Assange has knowingly put Afghan civilians at risk of death by totalitarian ‘tards who are directly comparable to the worst elements of the Hitler, Stalin, and Mao regimes.”

Assange is therefore, an Asshat.

And no, I do not wish to meet or debate the Asshat. I rank him right up there with Walker, whom I would cheerfully hang, in a heartbeat.

…. not a Jew from Israel!

Yes, he holds an expired Israeli passport, but he is a Palestinian Arab.

The headline screams “Israeli held in investigation of serial stabbings” from MSNBC. (Note: It would appear that the headline has changed.)

Get the whole story HERE.

Then, you might want to start asking rude questions of the “Mainstream Media”, the local PD, and the Feds, starting with “How about an accurate description of the stabber?”

Or is an accurate description “Politically Incorrect”?

I like Dodge pickup trucks. I have one with a Hemi (345 cubic inches (5.7 Liters to you Euros), rated at 390 HP. And no, of COURSE I haven’t pushed real hard on the loud pedal!).

Dodge has come out with a new marketing wrinkle aimed right at hunters – a gun-safe built into the truck bed!

See it HERE.

I can’t wait to hear PETA and Brady whining.

And why do I want one? Just so’s I can put a bumper sticker on that says “Yes. I shot Bambi. So what?”

As any vet knows, the military is chock full of tradition – some useless, some silly, some of utility and purpose even to this day.

The US Navy has it’s fair share.

Bet you didn’t know that Dick O’Kane’s cribbage board is still around, being in the temporary custody of the oldest submarine in the Pacific Fleet.

Richard “Dick” O’Kane is a legend in the US Submarine force. As XO to Dudley “Mush” Morton in USS Wahoo, he helped run up the second-ranking score of Japanese ships sunk in WW2.

As Captain of USS Tang, he guided his ship to the most ships sunk by a US Submarine in WW2, survived a Japanese POW camp, and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Today, his own personal cribbage board is held in trust by the oldest submarine of the Pacific Fleet. At this writing, this is USS Bremerton (SSN-698).

I have no idea where or when this custom originated, but I like it.

I would suggest the books “Submarine!” and “Wake of the Wahoo” for background.

OK, here’s some “lawyer speak”.

There’s a move afoot to make sure that a child born, in America, of an illegal alien, is not automatically a Citizen of the United States.

A bill introduced in April 2009 by former Georgia Rep. Nathan Deal called for the law to be changed so that “birthright citizenship” as prescribed in the 14th Amendment only applies if one of the child’s parents is a U.S. citizen or national, or a legal immigrant.

Michael Wildes, an immigration lawyer and former federal prosecutor, called the push “pie in the sky” no matter how lawmakers go about it. He said any law altering the 14th amendment would never survive a court challenge and questioned the intent.

“It’s spiteful,” he said. “These are U.S. citizens. … They’re babies that by the grace of God were born in one country instead of another.”

Mr. Wildes, I, Charles W. Gerlach, US Citizen AND taxpayer, am totally tired of paying for these illegal aliens to do a “drop and leave”. I am tired of paying for their hospital care. I’m tired of paying for the education of kids who won’t learn English because it’s “not my heritage.” I’m tired of legal slimeballs like you making excuses for illegal aliens.

What part of “Illegal Alien” don’t you understand, Mr. Lawyer?

An “Illegal Alien” is, by definition, a criminal.

“Grace of God” my aching behind. These are deliberate acts by criminals.

It’s time, and past time, to apply the law. (Story HERE)

And it’s time, and ‘way past time, for the Feds to get off their well-paid behinds and start doing their jobs.

“Spiteful”?

No.

Just feeling a little cranky that Mr. Wildes is “gaming the system” to bypass the law.

Typical lawyer.

As a general rule, I’m a “dog person”.

I like doggies. They’re always glad to see you, they come when they’re called, mostly, and even when you’ve had a really crappy day, and you’re fussin’ and fumin’ and carryin’ on with words you wouldn’t want your mother to hear, a doggie will come right up to you and say “Hi Boss! GOOOOOOD to see you!”

So what happened two days ago?

Mrs. OWW, a notorious softie, allowed a stray critter to hang out, and even fed the damned thing!

And now, we’ve been adopted!

According to the word that I got, one of our more classless neighbors tossed the cat out after their baby was born – reason not known. Anyway, Mooch decided that we were likely candidates for adoption.

I’ve avoided introducing our 3 dogs to Mooch – Bruiser would run and hide, ’cause he’s a wuss. Ralph would take one look, and ignore the interloper. Tiny would most likely say “Oh goody! Lunch!”

While AG Holder and the Prez are prating and preening in front of the media, here’s a couple of things you might want to remember.

The US Constitution is pretty specific about duties and responsibilities:

Article IV, Section 4, to “protect each [state] against Invasion; and [on request of the state government] against domestic Violence”

And….

Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 provides that “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress … engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.”

The argument can reasonably be made that Arizona (and Texas, New Mexico, and California) are, in fact, being invaded.

Given those two sections of the Constitution, I’m a little surprised that Governor Brewer hasn’t called out the Arizona National Guard.

As I’ve commented previously, in the coming court case mounted by AG Holder, if the Arizona lawyers are half-way competent, they WILL have a ball pointing out, in great and lengthy detail, the dereliction of duty of the Federal Government.

Commentary

I’ve tended to vote Republican for many years. I even voted for GW, even though he advocated amnesty for illegal aliens AND advocated and signed off on the prescription med benefit that is now costing the tax-payers a short fortune. I just couldn’t stand Al Gore or John Kerry, who are really big-time hypocrites.

As is Barack Obama. Out of his own mouth he’s a hypocrite. Not quite as bad as Al Gore, but right in there, in the running.

And it’s not a “color” or “race” thing. He’s just busy being a typical Chicago politician.

Yet, because I dare to think, and say that I don’t like the President’s policies, and I much prefer the policies espoused by the “Tea Party” movement, I must be a “racist”, or at least sympathetic to “racists”.

Horse apples.

I’m going to remind the NAACP of a little history.

In the Civil War, which party stood for Slavery?

In Reconstruction, which party did not stand for Freedom?

In the early to mid-twentieth century, which party stood for Jim Crow?

In the 1960’s which party stood against the Voting Rights Act? Give you a hint – Senator R. Byrd (D-WVa) filibustered against the Voting Rights Act.

And, in 2010, who stands for you to run your mouth however you choose? Even though you may make me cranky, you can, and should, run your mouth. I have, and will, stand up for you to run your mouth, even though you accuse me, personally, of being a racist.

NAACP, you folks are doing your damndest to repeat the history of repression.

So, I’m calling bull-dust on your miserable behinds.

Who stands for freedom?

And who stands for repression?

Here I stand, I can do no other.

Freedom!

Ran across this article whilst surfing around:

“‘Screamers is about exposing the denial of all genocide, Armenia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, the Iraqi Kurds and the current horror in Darfur. It is about making sure the same critical message George Clooney and Don Cheadle are ’screaming’ about is heard, that these atrocities ‘never happen again,’” says Garapedian.
Never happen again? Her lips to God’s ears.”

Indeed.

What is most interesting about the article is the writer’s observation that the biggest killers of all, in the Communist states, are barely touched upon at all.

And the idea of individuals keeping weapons for their own self-defense?

“It is an arresting reality that not one of the principal genocides of the twentieth century, and there have been dozens, has been inflicted on a population that was armed … We argue a connection exists between the restrictiveness of a country’s civilian weapons policy and its liability to commit genocide upon its own people,” Polsby and Kates concluded.”
