Nancy and the Left

The Left is all in a tizzy because Bush, while over in Israel, dared to call the Left what they are…a bunch of pansies.  Their big beef is that he did it on foreign soil.  Well, that sure didn’t stop Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter or Nancy Pelosi from doing the exact same thing but you won’t hear the media or the Left bring up ANYTHING when they do.  In fact, when people did bring it up at the time, they were criticized for “negative attacks”.  What a bunch of crap.  It is just SO hypocritical what is going on here.  Hell, Jimmy Carter practically gets in bed and spoons up to Terrorists while Al Gore constantly rips apart the entire US population yet, we here NOTHING about that. It’s only when Bush does it. 

Speaking of hypocrites, Mark Elrod is whining about this over on his blog again.  Although, to be fair,  Elrod is still singing the praises of what a great President Jimmy Carter was so, really, who can take him seriously (except himself, of course). 

The best thing Bush said was this:

“As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American Senator declared, ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’”

That is EXACTLY what the Left says and does.  They always talk about “we just need to talk then peace will come” crap.  Hey! I am all for peace talks but, many times, those just don’t work.  The Liberals today are just like Neville Chamberlain with his “peace for our time” BS. (is Elrod related to Chamberlain?  They both look quite similar and have the same wimpy beliefs…hmmmmmm).   For an example, all you have to do is look at Bill Clinton.  The US was attacked again and again during his administration yet, the only thing he did was lob some missiles over and destroy an aspirin factory to distract people while he was dealing with getting a Monica from Monica.  

It takes people like Ronald Reagan who called the USSR “an evil empire” and didn’t back down from it.  He didn’t apologize for it.  I hope Bush doesn’t apologize for this because it’s true! 

I would call for a moratorium on the hypocrites of the left but…I think I already did a year ago! 

Let me call your Sweetie…

Can you believe this crap?  Who gives a flying fling that he called some reporter “Sweetie”?  You know, I may not like his politics but come on!!! Give me a break!!!  This is what the Liberal politically correct crowd has brought us.  20 years ago, this would not even be an issue but today, he has to apologize for it.  It’s garbage and it stinks. 

Once again, let’s get a moratorium on being politically correct.  I miss being able to use some words!

 

Flip Flops

No, we’re not talking about Vietnam War Vet John Kerry here.  This is about the idiots who wear flip flops to work.  Well, let me re-phrase that.  How about the idiots who wear flip flops to work when their office policy forbids it?  Yeah, that’s better. 

What is it with people who don’t care to abide by their companies dress code?  You know, there is a reason why they are not allowed…THEY ARE TOO DAMN LOUD!!!  You are sitting there, trying to work and you have to hear “SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP” as someone walks by your desk.  What’s worse, is when you look up and see it’s some dude.  How gay can you be to wear jeans and flip flops to work as a guy?  Either that or ya gotta be some left over hippie liberal college professor. 

The worst is when you have to endure not only the “SLAP SLAP SLAP” but also the “POP POP POP” of someone also smacking their gum at work.

Calling for a moratorium on flip flops at the office…regardless if it is “Casual Friday” or not!

 

Questions Unanswered

As the latest Obamamania surge sweeps across the county, George Will has written an excellent article on questions that Obama really needs to answer.  Of course, he won’t.  Of course, the steady stream of Obamagasms will continue, unabated.  In fact, I think our old friend Mark Elrod has at least four or five a week.  I wonder how he would answer some of these excellent questions Will asks.  One in particular that I like is:

• ExxonMobil’s 2007 profit of $40.6 billion annoys you. Do you know that its profit, relative to its revenue, was smaller than Microsoft’s and many other corporations’? And that reducing ExxonMobil’s profits will injure people who participate in mutual funds, index funds and pension funds that own 52 percent of the company?

or

• You say, “The insurance companies, the drug companies, they’re not going to give up their profits easily when it comes to health care.” Why should they? Who will profit from making those industries unprofitable? When pharmaceutical companies have given up their profits, who will fund pharmaceutical innovations, without which there will be much preventable suffering and death? What other industries should “give up their profits”?

We need a moratorium on politicians and their followers who, like Ross Perot, speak a lot but actually say very little. 

Eating at your desk

I used to be guilty of this.  For years I would just eat my lunch at my desk and not think a thing of it.  That was when I didn’t have someone sitting right across for me.  For years I had great desks.  Well, over the past few months, since I moved to another part of the office, I now understand how annoying this can be. 

The smells.  The smacking.  The gulping.  The talking with their mouth full.  It’s disgusting.  Actually, I should really separate the two.  First of all, someone comes back with their lunch (either nuked in the microwave or a quick stop at good burger) and soon the smell is wafting over to my side.  If I have not had lunch or, maybe, not going to have lunch, just that smell is horrible to deal with.  Now, if I have had lunch or, worse, if what they are eating is nasty (such as egg salad), I don’t want to smell that.  Any sort of smell has no place at a desk where I am crunching numbers and trying to work.  That’s why we have a break room!

Secondly, eat with your mouth closed!!!  I have this co-worker who sits across from me.  They cannot eat lunch without smacking their lips, gulping their drink, occasionally burping (yeah..you heard right) and laughing when they have a load in their mouth. 

Anyone else have this problem (those of you in offices)? 

Let’s get a moratorium on the “I’m just too busy to leave my desk for 15 minutes while I eat even though I am getting no work done anyway since I am eating but I still don’t want to walk to the break room” kind of people. 

 

 

 

Old Lesbians

 

Ok, site plug.  I came across this site and just had to blog about it.  Men who look like old lesbians.  LOL.

Voter ID

The Supreme Court today gave a huge boost to cutting down on voter fraud.  I applaud their decision.  What I found so amusing was this quote from Ken Falk, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana.  He was very upset with the decision.  When the case was first taken up by the high court, Falk was quoted as saying “There’s no right more important than the right to vote”

Really?  The “right” to vote?  Kenny, can you please direct me to that part of our great Constitution that actually gives a right to vote?

Again, can we get a moratorium on these “right to vote” people?

Forced Charity

Our old buddy at Harding University gave me the idea for this post.  It’s something I have brought up before and something that truly needs a moratorium.  That being forced charity.  We are forced to give up our hard earned money every day to “help” others.  That help may entail things you don’t agree with.  Doesn’t matter.  You are forced to give.  By whom you ask?  You friendly neighborhood Govco.  Every day they take tax dollars from you and give it to others.  The noted Economist Walter E. Williams illustrates it well:

“If I take $20 from you by force and help somebody downtown who is sleeping on a grate, if I do this privately, I go to jail and most Americans agree that I should go to jail. But when an agent of Congress comes up and takes your $20 and helps somebody downtown, they applaud that. Both acts are taking what belongs to one American and giving it to another American to whom it does not belong.”

Now, let me make it perfectly clear, I am ALL for charity.  I am all for helping others.  Privately.  Now, of course, there are many out there, most notably Liberals, who believe that any sort of assistance or help should come from Govco which means YOUR taxes.  They will say things such as “The Government can do it best.” or “Private citizens or organizations cannot do it all.”  Really?  Gee…is that why private giving far exceeds what Govco gives?  Is that why US citizens give more to charity than citizens of any other country? 

Let’s look at an example.  Remember the tsunami from 2004?  Private charities and individuals gave three times as much as the US Govco to help those in need.  Yet, what do you hear?  You heard how the US didn’t give enough.  You hear every day how we are greedy and stingy and don’t care.  You hear from people like Obama and Hillary how Govco can do it better.    Please!  Get off your high horse. 

Now, what does this have to do with our psudo-intellectual teacher Mark Elrod?  Here is a quote from his latest blog:

“It seems to me that if America were in fact the Christian nation we claim to be that there would be no need for government welfare or foreign aid.”

I beleive I have already made my point that there IS no need for Govco welfare or foreign aid.  We, as private citizens and private charities already do far more than Govco could every hope to do.  We do it with our own money and, more importantly, do it with other things such as time, compassion and organization.  Let’s see, Govco…compassion….organization….yeah, those words go together as well as Microsoft Works or French Deodorant.  In the time it takes you to fill out the forms (in triplicate) to get any sort of assistance from Govco, a private charity will already have you taken care of.  In fact, we, as a nation, would probably give much, much more if we were not taxed so much.  If we didn’t have our paychecks garnished so heavily by Uncle Sam.  If we had more to give, we would give even more.

We are, contrary to what Mr. Elrod states, a giving nation.  Do we all give?  Nope.  Do we give enough?  Nope.  Should we be forced to give?  Never. 

 

Attention Hounds

We all know one.  You usually work with one.  The attention hounds.  They have to always be throwing out the “Hi!  How are you?” to the boss, even though he is across the room.  Now, don’t confuse these people with “Brown Nosers”.  There is a difference.  These people simply want attention from anyone or anything.  All day long it’s “Like me…please…like me!!!!”

Let’s get a moratorium on these people. 

Humans and Nature

I was watching this show on TV…Beach Patrol or something like that where drunks get busted by the Police.  Yeah, I know but there was nothing else on!  Anyway, they found a wounded seal that had a huge shark bite however, per the law, they could not do anything because the law forbids “interfering with nature.”  Yellowstone park has a similar restriction so, as in one show I caught, if there is a baby bison that falls through the ice and cannot get back up, you are not to try to help it all.  You must let nature take it’s course.

Um…excuse me but…aren’t WE a part of nature?  Isn’t man as much a part of this world as the deer and the antelope?  What..are they saying that man actually doesn’t belong here on earth?  What a bunch of crap!

Now, I love to backpack and I do understand not leaving liter and such however, some of the signs you see even on the trails talk about leaving it as if man has not touched it.  Hey!  We did.  We are.  We are part of nature, sorry to say to all you extreme wackjobs out there.  There are some people who even pack out their waste and I ain’t talking about a candy wrapper.  When will these people learn that Man was here first?

Calling for a moratorium on the Earth First crowd.  You know…Earth first and the human species second?
