Sign the Petition to Give Obama's Nobel Peace Prize to Putin

Putin kept us out of a war in Syria, has called for defending the Christians in Syria, and opposes the terrorist rebels in Syria.  Obama wants us to go to war in Syria, has done absolutely nothing to defend oppressed Christians in the Middle East and North Africa, and has supported Islamist rebels not only in Syria, but in Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt.  Which one really deserves the Nobel Peace Prize?  My vote is for Vladimir Putin.

Vote here.

Comment on Obergruppenfuhrer Sebelius' Plan to Violate Your Health Care Records Privacy Rights

David Codrea has asked for concerned citizens to comment on Obergruppenfuhrer Sebelius' proposed HHS rule for changes to HIPAA, which would allow access to mental health records as part of a background check for firearms purchases.

Of course, I am opposed to such a violation of citizens rights.  My comment is as follows:

How Orwellian.  This is the same government that does not vet its presidential candidates, prohibits requiring identification to vote, and does everything it can to prohibit states and employers from ensuring that only US citizens are eligible for legal employment. 

It must be tough promulgating such a new rule.  While it may not have the support of gun owners such as myself, who are not likely to be communists, er...  democrats, don't you think you are risking alienating the mentally ill, who usually are democrats.  Cases in point:  Christopher Dorner and Jared Loughner.  I realize that Christopher Dorner is dead, but when did that ever stop a democrat from voting.  I mean, Kathleen Sebelius' career would not have even got off the ground without the dead, mentally ill, and fictional people voting.

OF COURSE I AM OPPOSED TO THIS NEW INFRINGEMENT UPON THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF AMERICANS.

IF YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT "GUN VIOLENCE", THEN DISARM GOVERNMENT JACKBOOTED THUGS WEARING BLACK PAJAMAS ON THEIR FANTASY RAIDS.  THEY MUST BE MENTALLY ILL TO THINK THAT A BLACK PAJAMA RAID IS REQUIRED TO SERVE A SEARCH WARRANT AT A CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (FLYING J CORP) IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

I WOULD GIVE YOU MORE OF MY TWO CENTS, BUT I NEED EVERY PENNY I CAN GET TO PAY FOR THAT OTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL OBAMINATION, OBAMACARE.

Yes, my comment is a bit extreme.  Someone once said, "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice."  I agree.

Open Letter to McDonald's

Since McDonald's has chosen not to have email contact available, I am posting an open letter to them.

To McDonald's:

After reading about the savage beating of a customer in your Rosedale, Maryland restaurant, seeing the video, and your response I have decided that I will not set foot in your restaurants for the foreseeable future.

The actions (or rather non-actions, aside from the recording of the incident by your wannabe gangsta employee) leads me to conclude that your restaurants are not safe and are staffed by uncaring neanderthals.

Your response should have been to take responsibility and to immediately fire every employee involved.  You did neither.

Until I see McDonald's apologize to the woman who was assaulted, pay her medical bills and damages for her injuries, fire every single employee who was on duty at the time of the incident, and institute new employee training to combat racism by its minority employees against non-minorities, McDonald's will not see one penny in business from me or my family.



For those who have not heard about the incident in which a white woman was viciously attacked in a Baltimore area McDonald's by two black females, was left to fend for herself by black employees, and the incident video recorded by a black employee, see story and video here.  McDonald's response is here.

Protest Hu Jintao's Visit: Buy American

Chinese President Hu Jintao is being treated to a state dinner by our Impostor-in-Chief, Barry Soetoro.  I guess Hu should have a nice dinner while ol' Barry grovels for more Chinese investment in our government Ponzi scheme.  We ordinary Americans can protest by taking the time to boycott Chinese goods and buy American.  Not many things are actually made in this country anymore, but I have come up with a list of ten suggestions for preppers:

Ten ways that preppers can still buy American:

1)  A firearm made by Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Kel-Tec, Marlin, Mossberg, or Remington.  I'm sure that there are other domestic makers.  Just pick one.

2)  A box of ammo made by Winchester, Federal, Remington, Speer, or CCI.

3)  A knife made by Case or Bear & Sons.  Or a set for your kitchen made by Rada.  Ontario, Ka-Bar, Buck, and Gerber qualify if the knife was actually made in the USA.

4)  A holster made by El Paso Saddlery or Don Hume.

5)  A Coleman dual-fuel lantern or stove.

6)  Freeze-dried and dehydrated canned fruits, vegetables, meats, and other foods from beprepared.com and honeyvillegrain.com.

7)  Food-grade five gallon storage buckets from usplastic.com  (the last time I ordered, the buckets and lids were both made in USA).

8)  Cast iron dutch ovens and other cookware by Lodge Manufacturing.

9)  Extra propane tanks by Worthington and Manchester, and fuel cans by Blitz and Wedco.

10)  A bottle of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, or other American distilled libation.

Have fun!

Mail a Dirty TSA Exam Glove

I just thought of an interesting idea to get the attention of legislators and executives of the major airlines as a protest against TSA (team sexual assault?) screening procedures.

Remember when citizens were pissed off at the government and mailed tea bags to them?  I had an alternate idea to mail a bag of cheap pork rinds to my legislators.  A little more expensive than a tea bag, at $1.00 per bag of pork rinds plus $1.38 postage.

How about mailing a dirty blue exam glove to each of our federal legislators and to the board members of each major airline?  By dirty I mean having had contact with dirt or dust sufficient to appear used.  I would not suggest dipping the glove in urine, animal feces, or any other dangerous substance.  The blue nitrile gloves are fairly inexpensive and available at Harbor Freight Tools and other home improvement, hardware, and auto parts stores.  I have a box of them in the garage for when I paint things or work on the cars.

Of course, to make the message more effective it might help to write "TSA" on the glove with a sharpie and enclose/attach an "instruction card" reading something like:  "Official TSA exam glove for Senator (blank).  Please bring with you to the TSA security station at the airport for use in your security screening process."   I don't believe in sending anything anonymously through the mail, so I would also enclose a letter explaining the purpose of the dirty exam glove.  I could be something as simple as:  "Dear Senator:  I urge you to defund the Transportation Security Administration for its heavy-handed, unsanitary, pornographic, and unnecessary assault on American citizens at the gates of America's airports."

If thousands of citizens sent a dirty blue exam glove to his federal legislators and to the executives of the major airlines, could those symbolic acts drum up even more attention against TSA?  Maybe inspire airlines to put pressure on legislators to defund TSA?  Maybe even inspire my lazy, corrupt senators to push for defunding TSA? 

For those of you taking the time to read this:  Is this an idea that could get traction?  How about improvements or some kind of standardization (such as blue glove, instruction card, suggested language for the letter)?   Is anyone with a high traffic site interested in putting this idea out there? 

Please leave a comment if you have any thoughts about this idea.
