Illiterate Boob Among Those Who Want to Stifle Free Speech

Well, actually Nazi Pelosi and her chief minion and all their ilk are all less than articulate in their sputtering tirades against the American People exercising their rights “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” But Steny Hoyer takes the cake with,

“I do believe that there is expressions throughout the country being made that are unusually harsh.”

Parse that again. “[T]here is expressions”? Why, the guy’s so rattled by the 09-12-09 peaceful assembly “to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” that he can’t even utter a verb in the correct form. Idiot. Maroon. Ignoranimous. The Honorable Baboon Hoyer needs a reality check. I can think of almost NO expression harsh enough for someone like him and Nazi Pelosi and their ilk who never met a First Amendment right they didn’t hate when exercised by anyone who happens to disagree with them.

To Pelosi, Hoyer and all their partners-in-crime: STFU and listen. Instead of being slaves to your own bigoted ambition, LISTEN:

For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear. For a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat; for an odious woman when she is married, and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. — Proverbs 30:21-23.

Or, as Rudyard Kipling put it when addressing the first of those banes,

Three things make earth unquiet
And four she cannot brook
The godly Agur counted them
And put them in a book —
Those Four Tremendous Curses
With which mankind is cursed;
But a Servant when He Reigneth
Old Agur entered first.
An Handmaid that is Mistress
We need not call upon.
A Fool when he is full of Meat
Will fall asleep anon.
An Odious Woman Married
May bear a babe and mend;
But a Servant when He Reigneth
Is Confusion to the end.

His feet are swift to tumult,
His hands are slow to toil,
His ears are deaf to reason,
His lips are loud in broil.
He knows no use for power
Except to show his might.
He gives no heed to judgment
Unless it prove him right.

Because he served a master
Before his Kingship came,
And hid in all disaster
Behind his master’s name,
So, when his Folly opens
The unnecessary hells,
A Servant when He Reigneth
Throws the blame on some one else.

His vows are lightly spoken,
His faith is hard to bind,
His trust is easy boken,
He fears his fellow-kind.
The nearest mob will move him
To break the pledge he gave —
Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth
Is more than ever slave!

Rudyard Kipling

So, to all congresscritters, The 0! and those who sit on benches and pontficate their farts into law, STFU and BE servants, not little potentates.

ACORN-Funded Prostitution Zones–Tag One Near You!

*heh* I’d like to have a stencil for this in my hands, some days… no, really.

acorn-funded-prostitution-zone-1

And on the wall of Obama “Hope” poster artist Shepard Fairey’s studio:

acorn-funded-prostitution-zone-02

Now, I wonder when The 0!’s White Cafe-au-lait House is gonna be tagged? 😉

(Although, rightly, anyone taggin g The 0!’s White Cafe-au-lait House should change the stencil to read, “Pimping for ACORN since 1995”)

Dealing With Terrorists

Thinking on the current administration’s apparent views on terrorism and terrorists, I’m reminded of a contrary POV “Ding Chavez”–a character in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six–articulated about getting inside a terrorist’s mind,

“…the best thing about the inside of a terrorist’s mind was a 185-grain 10mm hollow-point bullet entering at high speed.”

Or, as a bumper sticker I saw not recently said, “Marine Sniper: You Can Run, You Just Die Tired.”

THAT’S how one properly deals with terrorists. Patting them on the head and saying, “Oh, you bad boy, you! We’ll just have to find some way of cominucating with you, dear,” isn’t the way to deal with terrorists.

A Sidebar on the Constitution

While The 0! and his minions on both side of the Uniparty aisle continue their assault on the Constitution, I thought I might reveal choices for my Top Five Worst Presidents of All Time:

In order, from worst down, my top five are The 0!, Dhimmi Kahtah, Franklin Roosevelt, James Buchanan and… the president that resulted from Buchanan’s waffling and mishandling of the 10th Amendment issues before him, (dis)Honest Abe Lincoln.

Yes, you read me right. apart from the “winners-writing-history” aspects of Mr. Lincoln’s War” and all the Lincoln hagiography, there’s a ton of evidence that Lincoln’s quest for centralizing power in the federal government (a stated goal of his) was the first real success in bringing down the Founders’ views of a limited federal government with strictly enumerated powers, for the first time setting the U.S. firmly on the road toward the “feddle gummint” we have today. In fact, it’s popular among libtard Academia Nut Fruitcake scholars to celebrate Lincoln for his “rewriting” of the Constitution to enhance federal power in ways the Founders specifically eschewed. And it’s why folks who are aware of the damage done to the Founders’ Constitution sometimes quietly whisper, “The Constitution died at Appomattox,” though they are wrong of course; it didn’t die there. It was only dealt a mortal wound.

Can the Constitution be ressurected by a new generation of patriots influenced by The Founders’ wisdom? Maybe. But from what I saw and heard of the 9-12 rally, it doesn’t seem likely, because few there (or speaking, at least) seemed to have any clues as to the constitutionality–or lack thereof–of the issues that they addressed.

Remembering the Constitution

You know, that document that is supposedly the basis for all the “feddle gummint’s” meddling nowadays? The one that enumerates specific, limited powers for the Federal government of the States? The one largely ignored or twisted by our wonderful *spit* congresscritters, the judiciary and executive branches?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

My recommendation would be to, on this day, the “birthday” of the Constitution, take some time out to simply READ it. Don’t pay any atention to dumbasses, liars and charlatans who say it’s written in archaic language that’s hard to understand (it isn’t, for anyone who’s moderately literate). That’s worse than the lame excuse the Medieval church gave for keeping common folk from reading the Bible, “It’s in Latin and you’re illiterate anyway, so just let us experts interpret it for you.” *feh* Academia Nut Fruitcakes, Mass MEdia Podpeople, politicians *spit* and the like would prefer you remain ignorant of its provisions so you’ll be unable to see when (every day) the establishment elite trample its protections for our liberties. Politicians especially don’t want you to really know what the Constitution says, because when you do it will lay bare the fact that approaching 100% (there are a very few holdouts) of congresscritters *spit* are in daily breach of their oaths of office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

Of course almost all congresscritters are in breach of their oaths; they ARE the primary enemies of the Constitution! Witness all the talk from BOTH sides of the Uniparty aisle about federal “reform” (takeover) of health care. Hint: there is NO enumerated power in the Constitution that would allow such a thing.

Read the Constitution for yourself and see: it’s true. The Federal government has no such power, legitimately, but that is not going to stop Congress from acting illegaly in this case any more than it has stopped Congress from enacting other laws it has no legitimate power to enact. Note in the Christian Science Monitor article linked above that,

Ironically, consumers today cannot freely buy health insurance from across state lines. If there’s any legitimate application of the “commerce” clause, it would be to overturn such restrictions. But the framers never gave Congress the general power to regulate industry.

Wow! He’s Pretty Fit for an Old Guy!

Sen Roland Burris (D-State of Corruption) runs away from questions about his support for ACORN:

Beholden to The 0-! and corrupt Illinois politics, Roland Burris darned near breaks into a flat out run to get away from an inconvenient question. Chickenshit.

Mass MEdia Podperson Charlie Gibson Clueless About ACORN Scandels: Dog Bites Man *yawn*

Well, this is certainly not news at all at all: Charlie Gibson claims to be completely in the dark about the recent ACORN exposés:

No news there. Unless the Hivemind wants it exposed (or twisted or lied about), events in the real world are not news to Mass MEdia Podpeople like Gibson.

Meanwhile, though Charlie Gibson has no shame being exposed as a fake journalist, Jon Daily isn’t so sanguine:

Continuing the Saga of ISP Woes

You can tell by the title whether you want to read on or not.

Another hour on the phone (most just to get to a level 2 tech), because *drum roll with brass flourish*–Ta-Da! Cable ISP is acting flaky again. When it’s good? Well, when it’s good, it’s very, very good, but sporadically, pfzzt! it’s gone. Middle of a page load (or beginning or end), middle (or beginning or end): connection dies.

Two-and-a-half months of this kinda crap. Now, I didn’t complain when there was an 8.75 hour outage because some doofus cut soem fiber by digging where he shouldn’t have. Idiots just do things like that, and since it wasn’t an ISP idiot (as I verified) and I know how hard it can be to locate such improper digs and repair fiber while it’s coming down gully-washers (as it was yesterday), I had no complaint.

But thius intermittent service issue has been ongoing for 2.5 months now, and every service tech who’s come out has verified that the problem’s on the ISP end, not my end.

But. When it works, an 8+mbs download speed with a 700kbs upload speed beats my other “high speed” option, DSL.

Monthly charges for the ONLY DSL available from my location (from a lil mom n pop, 2-exchange POTS “service”):

DSL (128 kbps) w/o [Third World County] Long Distance* $ 55.00 per month with no contract
DSL (256 kbps) w/o [Third World County] Long Distance* $ 60.00 per month with no contract
DSL (512 kbps) w/o [Third World County] Long Distance* $ 67.50 per month with no contract
DSL (1 Meg) w/o [Third World County] Long Distance* $130.00 per month with no contract
DSL (1.5 Meg) w/o [Third World County] Long Distance* $180.00 per month with no contract
Static IP address $ 10.00 per month

*Installation Fee of $50.00 applies

With a one-year contract, those prices drop all the way down to $37.50, $43, $50, $80, & $130.

Notice that the fastest potential download “speed” is only about 18% of my usual (when actually connected) download “speed” and the maximum upload “speed” (not listed here) is about 10% of my normal (when actually connected) upload speed. The kicker? When I used to have dialup with the POTS service (again, the only place to get it w/o long distance charges at the time), I had frequent disconnects caused by the POTS lines/telco ISP, and folks I know locally who use ’em for DSL have similar experiences with the (almost non-existant) “technical” expertise exhibited by those implementing the telco’s DSL servicve, so the connection woes I’m experiencing with my curent ISP and what I can in that regard expect were I to get DSL are pretty much a wash.

Oh, my costs with cable internet plus TV service? About what the 1mbs DSL service is alone, in fact, less.

Still, my tightwad’s heart says I’m not getting such a great deal unless I actually get what I pay for. Several days (or maybe just two) in a row of decent service, followed by a week of cutting in and out? Not what I pay for.

*sigh*

Oh. Well. Have to reorder my day AGAIN to be here “between 8:00 and Noon” tomorrow so the tech can come and tell me what they’ve told me over and over and over again… and someday, when I’m old and gray(er) and my beard’s reached my knees, someone will drop by to holler in my then-deaf ears, “It’s all fixed now.”

I hope.
