Obamabebeballs – Somalians are not pirates, they’re thieves, murderers, scumbags….
Thieves, Robbers, Murderers…Not pirates – Obamabebeballs.
It’s far to glamorous to call these scumbags, who prey on innocent travelers, pirates.
This is not the 16th or 17th century, these Somalians are not Captain Kidd, and we have the facilities and technology to know where they are and who they are and to destroy them. It’s not as if the ka ka hole that is Somalia has any claim to sovereignty, they don’t have any effective government, so why isn’t the U.S. taking action? What would Teddy Roosevelt do? And short of us putting a few missiles up their backsides, why hasn’t the U.N. taken action? After all, these murderers are preying on boats and ships from many nations. Why, exactly, for the 10,000th time, I ask, are we spending billions of dollars supporting a group, the U.N., who does nothing but steal 95% of our money destined for their Swiss bank accounts before giving 5% of it to starving children. Haiti should have given us a clue. There, the pirates, as usual, are in the government.
FROM THE PEA PATCH (Economics for imbeciles…like me)
Okay, it’s the Federal Reserve, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, the House and Senate Finance Committees, the Mint, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation…and on and on and on. So, you think our economic system is a little complicated? It’s only because we’ve allowed it to become so…the fact is, it’s very basic, and if we understand those basics, maybe we can straighten out the mess we’ve allowed it to become.
It’s time we went back to basics.
From the Heavens
Echoing from the heavens I continue to hear:
“I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people (our 10th Amendment). To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible to any definition.” –Thomas Jefferson
Ventura – Central California at It’s Best!
San Buenaventura and the Haunts of Perry Mason
One might wonder what Erle Stanley Gardner, destined to become the world’s best-selling mystery writer, saw in the place in 1921-a burgeoning village struggling to take advantage of an oil boom that marked and marred and desecrated much of Central and Southern California. What Gardner saw was the remnants of a village that, pre-oil-boom, had been gracefully growing to a small town: but suddenly, due to gooey hydrocarbons, became an excellent blossoming economy in which to establish a law practice.
The Power of Republic
There is no question in my mind that the founding fathers were brilliant. How else could they have foreseen the balance of power to bestow on a newly formed government; a government which respected both the individual vote, the democratic aspect, and the difference between urban and rural visions of what a country should be, the republic. For all its flaws, and there are many, our Congress reflects the opinions and attitudes and prejudices of both the most wealthy landed gentry and the poorest common laborer in a more equitable manner than any system there-to-fore. A democracy, where in one man, one vote, rules the day; a republic, where in each state elects only two senators, no matter its population, and one congressman for a given population. Two houses; one who enjoys two senators from a state as small, in population, as Wyoming (just over a half million people) and two senators from a state as large as California, with over 70 times the population. There is the power of a republic.
