Thank you, coffee!

Well, thanks to my great friend, the Blessed, Holy Caffeine Tree, I survived a day and a half of dialup over third world county telco lines *shudder*. Oh! The horror of it all!

*heh*

Thanks, coffee.

(Yeh, the pic’s low-rez, in nothing but the light coming in the kitchen window. But it’s of my “coffee shrine” and my second-favorite coffeemaker to date. Fav died and not enough parts available… *sigh* If you’re interested remind me to tell ya how I can emulate a French press with this coffeemaker. :-))

How to Conquer America

Still short shrift day–limited bloggage due to ISP/connectivity, but ain’t it fun falling back on old Blogger habits? Ya know, write the html in a plain text editor and then—real quick, it’s working right now!—pasting it into an “edit post” window and hope for the best… *heh*

A post by The Median Sib—also here— dovetailed with a link found at Chaos Manor Musings (Mail). The Media Sib outlines four strategic “high ground” areas the enemies of Western Civilization must take and hold to wage their battle of conquest on America. She’s right.

Bullet points from Median Sib’s post (do go read the whole thing, would you?):

So you set out to conquer the United States in four simple steps.

  1. Place your people in the schools…
  2. Get the mainstream media in your pocket…
  3. Become involved in the political system…
  4. Infiltrate the entertainment industry…

The link at Jerry Pournelle’s site is to a discussion on (of all things) The Practical Machinist discussion board (again, do yourself and your children and grandchildren the favor and read the whole thing!). It details a speech made by former governor of Colorado, Richard Lamm. Here are the bullet points:

To destroy America…

Still “Line dancing with the squirrels”/Open Post

Weeeell, apparently tornado damage was more extensive—at least where my ISP is concerned—and I’m told they “expect some word about progress (getting broadband access back) by noon Tuesday”…

Meanwhile, this wonky (backup) dialup has dropped twice while I’ve been trying to get this posted. Squirrels still line dancing in the wires here in America’s Third World Countyâ„¢ no doubt.

This IS an open post. Link to this post and track back. If I can, later I have a coupla posts to get up, but it’s hair-pullin’ time trying to get just this post up (and I cannot afford that :-)).

I think it’s time for a bounty…

This week’s Guard the Border blogburst post if from an eye-witness account of an illegal alien “demonstration” in Chicago. I think these things are great and should be encouraged. I also think the U.S. government ought to put a bounty of $5,000 per illegal payable to citizens who turn illegals in for deportation.

I think the two things would work very nicely together, don’t you? Now, on to Freedom Folks’ account of the mob of illegals in Chicago…


by The Freedom Folks
Illegal Aliens March On Chicago

“Si, se puede!” was the cry of the crowd in Chicago today — “Yes, we can!” Thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens and their supporters gathered in Union Park, then marched down Jackson Street to The Loop. Jamming the plaza, as well as the surrounding streets and sidewalks, they rallied to cheer on those who had come to speak.

They demanded legalization for all immigrants. They patted each other on the back for working hard and having dreams. They lauded politicians who devote themselves to representing “the people,” which evidently, in their minds, includes “the people” who have come here illegally and don’t get to vote. They demanded justice. They jeered HR4437, the House bill passed last December that would make coming here illegally a criminal offense, rather than a civil one, that calls for a fence on the border, and that would penalize anyone who hires and/or helps someone to come or stay here illegally.

Mayor Daley even got up to add his support, which made no sense:

“Don’t let anyone tell you you’re an immigrant,” he shouted. “We’re all immigrants!”

???

“Si, se puede!” Yes we can WHAT, one wonders?

Yes we can…make demands of the government, even though we’re here illegally? Yes we can…break your laws then demand to not only not be penalized, but to be rewarded for it? Yes we can…take taxpayer-funded services like education and healthcare, and in exchange we’ll drive down wages and refuse to assimilate? Yes we can…shout loud enough about our civil rights that the politicians will forget that civil rights are, by definition, for citizens?

Squirrels Line Dancing *sigh*/Open Post

Big storm(s) in and around third world county last night. The worst of it was several counties away, north and south, though, which explains why my broadband access is out today. Lovely Daughter’s car suffered hail damage (it was her night to be parked on the street–shared garage). Just the driver’s side window gone, though.

Reduced to extremely slow and hinky dialup (either squirrels are line dancing on the local telco’s chewing-gum-and-baling-wire “infrastructure” *cough* or some baling wire is about to give out down the line…

Link to this post and track back. If I can, later I have a coupla posts to get up, but it’s taken an hour on this connection just to get this far. *sigh*

Pardon my French

(from O.Fr. pissier “urinate”)

Damned supercilious, holier-than-thou, busybodies are starting to royally piss me off. First they came for our booze. When THAT worked out so very well, they decided no one was doing right by “the poor.” Now that The Great Society has proven to be such a rousing success*cough* the damned supercilious, holier-than-thou, busybodies have set their sights on punishing hard work.

What is wrong with these idiots? Not content with fostering the ascendency of the Mafia, ruining generations of (primarily) black families with their poverty plantations—and, oh, BTW also denying smokers the reasonable freedom to imbibe in a legal substance, while taxing their use of that substance all out of proportion to its harmful effects—they have now decided that hard work is evil and should be controlled by placing a greater tax burden on those who, uhm, work hard.

WTF?!?

Would someone tell these Academia Nuts that it’s the hard-working, productive citizens that support their ability to sit on their hinky white asses and write stupid “reports”? Yeh, yeh, I know that “Joel B. Slemrod Ph.D.” wrote the report, but the no doubt white-as-snow ‘U-M Office of Tax Policy Research” office issued the damned thing.

Oh, and note the typical Academia Nut arrogance: Slemrod apparently wrote the press release—in a third person voice—quoting himself throughout as though he had been interviewed by a third party. It’s how these things are done, you know.

Jackass.

My Epitaph

Thanks to Boudicca for spurring me to let my family know what to put on my “grave marker”—a stick-on label saying,

In this mason jar are the cremains of The Black Knight of America’s Third World Countyâ„¢

“‘Tis but a scratch.”

(Oh, btw, maybe my family would play at least the Black Knight scene from “Search for the Holy Grail” at a wake or something, in my remembrance, as it were… invincible.mp3)

It’s done.

Whoever visited from “sugartown-162.camtel.net (216.84.141.65)”, you were my 50,000th “unique visitor” (excluding, as far as possible search engine crawlers and myself) since I started keeping track around the end of March 2005.

Thanks. Now I can stop checking Statcounter daily, as I have for the past several days. 50,000 “unique pairs of eyeballs” (insofar as the technology available to me can determine) isn’t all that much, I know, and, given the best info I have, translates to somewhere between seven and eight times as many “hits” in that time frame. Still not a huge number.

But, it’s certainly more than I would have expected, given the often iconoclastic, irascible, and sometimes downright weird nature of this blog. (Did I say weird? But one contrast will suffice: what other blog do you know that would feature not only Mohammed in a pink dress but regular rails against every damn politician to pollute the air with their existance, appeals to read Chesterton and Wodehouse and a recipe for mock haggis? I rest my case.)

So, back to my regular schedule of “everything AND the kitchen sink” and about this time next year, I’ll start wondering how many folks have actually dropped by.

Thanks for all the fish.

Screwed up courts: anarcho-tyranny

Hold this lil thought in the back of your mind. There’s an application just waiting to happen a little later…

“And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell … ” —Mark 9:47

Via Stop the ACLU and WorldNet Daily, a little outrage over a recent California Supreme Court decision that ruled that forcing sex offenders who had been convicted of having oral sex with kids need no longer be registered as sex offenders.

“Look for William Jefferson Clinton to move to California soon. One of his favorite sexual activities is being given a wink and a nod by that state’s highest court.”¹

Yeh, well, at least Bill waited until the girl was of age… chronologically, at least (though that hardly excuses his behavior).

Both Kevin McCullough (WND) and Jay (STACLU) would prefer to eliminate the “registered sex offenders” program for pedophiles entirely—by substituting public execution. Jay’s a little stronger, advocating public humiliation preceding the execution. I think maybe the “offending member” should be cut off (or “plucked out”) as a part of that humiliation process, myself.* (Of course, that’d create no guarantee that the slime would “enter the kingdom of heaven” even absent the offending body part[s].)

But no. The same faux liberal swamp that spent much venom on the Catholic church (very rightly, IMO) over a few pedophile priests, gave rise to this sort of abhorrent idiocy giving pedophile predators a free ride on their crime. Heck, recall that it’s the same faux liberal swamp that supports the ACLU’s defense of NAMBLA efforts to propagandize, brainwash and recruit boy toys.

One thing no one can ever accuse the fever swamp of faux liberalism today of is rational behavior or any consistency apart from a consistent, unceasing effort to continue making American society into the worst imaginable replica of a degenerate and savage land.

Thanks, California Supremes (believe it or not, I unintentionally typed “Caligula Supremes” initially-some unconscious truth emerging) for showing America what vile and immoral creatures liberal judges can be. Yet another reason for the American people to distrust and disrespect the courts.

And, remember the fate of Soddom and Gomorrah.

*Oh, and before someone starts whining in comments about “cruel and unusual punishment,” let me be very clear: I Don’t Care. The crueler it is, the better, pour encourager les autres, as it were…
