Reflections From a Murky Pond

The ever stupid House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, avowed enemy of all things American, said this week that thanks to Obamacare, musicians and other creative types could quit their jobs and focus on developing their talents because the American taxpayers would be forced to fund their federally mandated health insurance coverage.

Quit Your Job. Americans Will Be Forced To Pay For You!?!

Someone should really open up Pelosi’s skull and see if there is, in fact, a brain within it, and if so, what sort of pathology has affected it. Is it senile dementia, delusional schizophrenia, tertiary syphilis, or just advanced Liberalism? There has to be something wrong with her mind given the unending stream of inanity that she mouths.

Pelosi is a depraved and a parasite much akin to a liver fluke or a guinea worm and, much like her spiritual and intellectual kin, needs to be purged or excised from the body of America.

Oh Yes! Let is do our utmost to create a generation of parasites and force the dwindling number of hard-working Americans who love their country and spirit it embodied to be their hosts. That’s just what this country needs to get it back on its feet.

The extent to which Liberals such as Nancy Pelosi actively discourage the very productivity that is the life’s blood of their beloved and ever expanding entitlement programs, is staggering and astounding. It’s also self-destructive since parasites fail if and when they kill they their hosts.

If America is going to survive as a nation and a culture it is likely going to require surgery to rid itself of its current crop of parasites and diseases in vaguely human form. If we move quickly, we will only need the lancet; dawdling will result in the need for a currettement.

This has become an old story in Israel, but one that many of the Israel and America hating, anti-Semite Left seem to love to keep pushing into the headlines. A bunch of Arabs, normally publicly identifying as Palestinians, build houses either where building is not allowed or without first getting the proper permits and the government’s response is to drive the squatters out and demolish the illegally constructed houses.

I would ask if these Liberals would raise this most current case as they have so stridently raised others in the past, but this instance of Arab’s having the homes destroyed by the government is sufficiently – and to the Liberals very significantly – different. It was the terrorists of Hamas doing it to their own people in Rafah this time.

I’m sure that the “government” of Gaza, Hamas’ demolishing such illegally built homes will sit both differently and more comfortably with the Left since they much prefer Hamas to the Jews.

As reported on Monday, May 16, 2010 by Associated Press:

RAFAH, Gaza Strip – Hamas police wielding clubs beat and pushed residents out of dozens of homes in the southern Gaza town of Rafah on Sunday before knocking the buildings down with bulldozers, residents said.Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers said the homes were built illegally on government land. Newly homeless residents were furious over Palestinians on bulldozers razing Palestinian homes.

For years, Palestinians have criticized Israel for destroying houses, mostly because they were built without permits issued by the military. Now, Rafah residents complained, their own government, run by the Islamic militant Hamas that seized power in Gaza in July 2007, has done the same.

“They promised reform and change — instead they’ve destroyed our homes,” shouted Miasar Gan, a 54-year-old woman. Gan said she and her husband had nowhere else to go. “I found my mattress, and that’s where I’ll be sitting,” she said, standing next to the concrete chunks — all that was left of her house.

Her neighbor, Nazira Abu Jara, 56, said policewomen wearing face veils typical of conservative Muslim women beat her with clubs until she fled her house with her husband and two children. “Neighbors help us get by with charity. We can’t afford to build again,” Abu Jara said.

Others picked through rubble to retrieve dusty clothing and mangled furniture.

Residents said between 30 and 40 homes were torn down, ranging from concrete structures to tin shacks. They did not know how many people were affected. Hamas officials did not allow reporters into the area until the demolition was over.

Residents said more demolitions in the area were expected Monday.

No. Don’t expect the Liberals in America to mention it at all. Certainly don’t expect the MSM to run the story since none of them have or will. That would be like expecting them to breath word of the conditions endured by the Palestinians who’ve been confined for literally generations to refugee camps in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.

Even more importantly, don’t expect Obama’s regime to mention, much less condemn, this incident of home destruction.  Doing so wouldn’t further the White House’s apparent political agenda in the Mid-East which does not seem to be one that includes Israel as a sovereign nation.

In the wake of Arizona’s Governor, Jan Brewer taking the much needed defensive measure of signing SB 1070 into law the bulk of America now knows that Arizona has a critical and lethal problem with illegal immigration and illegal aliens; the Liberals and their minority tenants have made sure of that with their vitriol, their hate, and their protests which predictably devolve into race riots. What most people still do not know is how filthy of a problem these illegal immigrants are.

The Trail of Filth – What Illegal Aliens Leave In Their Wake

Estimates on the number of illegal immigrants who sneak into America from Mexico across Arizona’s border vary wildly. A conservative-to-moderate range would be 100,000 – 250,000 illegals enter the US through Arizona’s southern border per year. Each and every one of these invaders wreaks environmental damage upon our lands during its treks.

Extrapolating from San Diego State University’s study of the environmental damage cause by illegal passing through the Cleveland National Forest, in eastern San Diego County, California we can quantify this damage in the following ways based upon the estimate of 100K – 250K illegal immigrants per annum:

• Illegal immigrants blaze 48 – 72 miles of new trails
• Illegal immigrants disturb 16 – 24 acres of wildness habitat
• Illegal immigrants leave 5.5 – 8.25 tons of trash
• Illegal immigrants light 1,100 – 1,650 illegal campfires
• Illegal immigrants burn 420 – 630 acres of land by starting wildfires

That’s a significantly horrendous level of ecological damage and would normally have the Liberals outraged at the perpetrators, especially since the more arid regions of the planet have more delicate biospheres and a very vulnerable to such depredations. It’s not one, however, that is going to receive much attention unless the Liberals, always and often laudably at the forefront of environmental causes, get involved.

Unfortunately for Americans and the ecosystems of southern Arizona – frankly the ecosystems of our border states et al – the Liberals, by and large but presumably with a few exceptions, are not outraged at foreigners – especially non-Whites – who commit environmental crimes.  Those sorts of polluters do not seem to bother the Liberals.

The Liberals, whenever vaguely possible,  instead prefer to either turn an blind eye to the problem or make excuses for the non-White invaders and attempt, as always, to shift both blame and responsibility to Americans, primarily White Americans.

So we are left with a mess. Arizona has a dangerous and filthy problem – illegal immigrants, and the best source of action and awareness against the problem, the Liberals,  has conflicting priorities based upon racial politics.

The Obama regime is, once again, expanding its power at the expense of the personal liberty of each and every American citizen. They are of course doing this for our own good – or so they will continue to claim just as all titularly beneficent tyrants do, often even as the People place a well-earned noose around their necks.

The latest excess of Obama’s nanny state is his regime’s burgeoning war on what Americans are allowed to eat and drink – specifically how much salt we’re allowed to have ready access to.

Naturally Obama’s and his Liberals’ pet media stayed largely silent on this latest intrusion into Americans’ personal lives by the regime, which is why, almost a month after the announcement, I finally found out about it. A few outlets, mostly print, did report on it though.

As reported on April 20, 2010 by the Washington Post:

The Food and Drug Administration is planning an unprecedented effort to gradually reduce the salt consumed each day by Americans, saying that less sodium in everything from soup to nuts would prevent thousands of deaths from hypertension and heart disease. The initiative, to be launched this year, would eventually lead to the first legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products.
This Story

The government intends to work with the food industry and health experts to reduce sodium gradually over a period of years to adjust the American palate to a less salty diet, according to FDA sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the initiative had not been formally announced.

Officials have not determined the salt limits. In a complicated undertaking, the FDA would analyze the salt in spaghetti sauces, breads and thousands of other products that make up the $600 billion food and beverage market, sources said. Working with food manufacturers, the government would set limits for salt in these categories, designed to gradually ratchet down sodium consumption. The changes would be calibrated so that consumers barely notice the modification.

The legal limits would be open to public comment, but administration officials do not think they need additional authority from Congress.

“This is a 10-year program,” one source said. “This is not rolling off a log. We’re talking about a comprehensive phase-down of a widely used ingredient. We’re talking about embedded tastes in a whole generation of people.”

The FDA, which regulates most processed foods, would be joined in the effort by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees meat and poultry.

Currently, manufacturers can use as much salt as they like in products because under federal standards, it falls into the category deemed “generally recognized as safe.” Foodmakers are merely required to report the amount on nutrition labels.

But for the past 30 years, health officials have grown increasingly alarmed as salt intake has increased with the explosion in processed foods and restaurant meals. Most adults consume about twice the government’s daily recommended limit, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Until now, the government has pushed the food industry to voluntarily reduce salt and tried to educate consumers about the dangers of excessive sodium. But in a study to be released Wednesday, an expert panel convened by the Institute of Medicine concludes that those measures have failed. The panel will recommend that the government take action, according to sources familiar with the findings.

Although the specifics of the government’s plans have not been made public, the food industry has been bracing for a federal initiative.

The facts of this report have also been independently confirmed on April 21, 2010 by the Los Angeles Times.

Such an action by Obama’s “Food Police” is in no way surprising. After lying, cheating, bribing, and bludgeoning their way into inflicting Obamacare unto a largely unwilling citizenry it became in the federal government’s interest to regulate and strictly control any and all actions that the formerly free citizens of our country might take which would affect their overall health index. The federal government’s doing so became, instantly upon Obamacare’s passage into law, an economic requirement.

Oh yes! You and I need not even bother being our brothers’ keeper; Big Brother will be the keeper of us all and ensure that we remain healthy and appropriately fed – if we let them do so.

To paraphrase from Charlton Heston’s character, George Taylor in Planet of the Apes, “Take your stinking paws off my food, you damn dirty apes!”

The question before the American people is whether or not we have the conviction and the will to do whatever is necessary to put a stop to them.

Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down.

President Obama’s nominee to replace retiring SCOTUS Justice John Paul Stevens is, as was somewhat expected, Elena Kagan who currently serves under Obama as his Solicitor General.

No Experience, No Clue – Yep, Obama’s Mini-Me

She’s a lot like Obama himself. She’s Harvard educated, has deep ties to the Chicago machine, has no experience in anything similar to the job she’s about to undertake, and has left very little in the way of a paper trail throughout her life.

We’ve all seen how well Obama has done. Hey! What could go wrong with his Mini-Me as SCOTUS Judge for the next 30 years or so?
