Obama's speach (or Would You Like Fries With That?)
What you read below is a transcript, typed as it was spoken. So it isn't as fluid a read as one might hope. It helps if you know how Genn Beck speaks. If you don't shame on you because his show is one of the most balanced I've heard in a long time.

Glenn Beck: Obama's Speech
Audio Available:
August 29, 2008 - 13:15 ET
GLENN: Let's go ahead and, shall we play Cut 1 and just roll through it? Cut 1.
OBAMA: Let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I'm President.
GLENN: There you go. Now see, listen to the crowd.
OBAMA: Means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it.
[ Cheers and Applause ]
GLENN: Okay, stop for a second. I want you to know the man is for cap and trade. So is John McCain, for cap and trade. Are you for cap and trade? It is the largest tax scam on the planet. I want you to know who the leaders of cap and trade were. Who were the what, what group wanted cap and trade, what group did more to pressure congress to move into cap and trade than anybody else? It was Enron. Enron. Cap and trade is a giant scam the likes of Enron. They want cap and trade because they know the big companies will profit on it. The little companies, the common person, the person that is trying just to start their own business, you will be crushed by cap and trade. And both John McCain and Barack Obama are for it and it is the biggest special interest scam on the planet. So don't talk to me about special interests, how you're going to chase them out of Washington, and it's not going to be written for them. It's going to be written for the little guy. Cap and trade will crush the little guy. Go ahead.
OBAMA: Unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America.
GLENN: Okay, stop just a second. What he's talking about, and this should run a chill down your spine, especially if you've read anything on the books that I've been telling you about on Woodrow Wilson. When he talks about these, when he says I'm going to stop giving tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas, John McCain is not suggesting that we give tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas. He's saying, I'm going to give tax breaks to all companies. Why? Please think through this logically with me for a second. Why would you want to give a corporation tax breaks? Because we have the highest corporate tax rate in the world. I have said this if I've said it once, I've said it in a million times. I'm tired of companies that look at this country as a market. We're not a market. Do you know why these television stations don't wear a flag lapel pin, why these TV networks don't do it? Because they're global networks. America is a market. Why doesn't CNN refer to us and them? Instead it's the United States. Because we're a market. They have a global reach.
Now, if you keep jacking up the cost to do business and you look, and your company is a global company and you just can't root your company here. You can put it in Jakarta, you can put it in England, you can put it some place elsewhere you're not getting raped by the government. You're going to because you have a responsibility to the shareholders, who also only care about money. And remember, before you throw the shareholders down the stairs, Barack Obama, I'm guessing you're a shareholder. I'm guessing your grandmother is a shareholder. Because if she has a 401(k), if she has a retirement account, it is invested in these companies. Most of them, the big ones, are global in nature. So when you give a tax cut to companies, you are giving them the incentive to stay in America and not go away.
By the way, again if you've read any of the books that I've been telling you about on Woodrow Wilson, the scariest thing about Barack Obama that he didn't say last night on this subject, I'm going to can you play back what he said? He said, "I am going to do." "I'm not going to give the tax breaks to the companies that ship jobs overseas." What I am going to do is what?
OBAMA: Start giving that to companies that create good jobs right here in America.
GLENN: Okay, stop. These are patriotic companies this is, I believe the actual official term that he labels them is patriot tax breaks, patriot companies. Really? Can you imagine if I would say that Boeing was a patriot company? McDonnell Douglas was a patriot company because they were making missile defense systems, because they were helping us build planes that were flying over Afghanistan, that's a patriot company, so I'm going to give that patriot company... the left would never accept it. The left says, don't tell me I'm patriotic and the other guy isn't. And we'll get to that at the end of his speech. They say it over and over and over again, "Don't tell me what patriotism is." But Barack Obama is about to relabel the tax code, so you know exactly, through what you are charged, what you are fined and how you can get relief. He's about to tell you exactly how patriotic you are, through the tax code, with an actual label of patriotism.
All right. Roll it.
OBAMA: I'll eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and startups that will create the higher wage, high tech jobs of tomorrow.
GLENN: Okay. He said he's going to eliminate the capital gains tax for small businesses. Is he really now? So in other words, the capital gains tax, if I invest, I can get that. However, he wants to raise the capital gains tax and double the capital gains tax for everybody else. Again, take out the take out the game that he's playing here of, "I want to cut the capital gains tax for the small business." Grandma gets a capital gains tax if she has a 401(k). Grandma gets one. You get one. If you have a retirement fund, you will pay a capital gains tax. It is one of the leading, one of the leading incentives on reinvestment is the capital gains tax being low. He wants to jack it up for really anybody I think now except for small businesses. I'd like to know how he defines small businesses. Roll it again.
OBAMA: I will listen now. I will cut taxes, cut taxes for 95% of all working families.
GLENN: Stop. I want to cut taxes for and he says listen now. So he's saying it's important. And boy, is it ever. I will cut taxes for 95% of all working families. Great. Seeing that, 50% of America doesn't pay taxes and 49% of America gets more money back. What he's really saying is I'm going to sock it to the top 5%.
Now remember, he's going to tell you that everybody pays taxes, because I've already heard him say it. When confronted with the bottom 50% of this country, pays no tax, the bottom 50%. So that means the upper 50% pays all of the taxes. Are you telling me just imagine, imagine your workplace and just say that your workplace is all of America. Are you telling me that in this country, your workplace with all the people who work there, that half of the people in your business, in your workplace, half should carry the load for the other half? Are you telling me that half of this country, 1/2 of the United States of America should carry the load for the just think about your day. Think about all the people that you see. Think about all the people that you encounter all day. Think about the people because he'll tell you, you know there are people that are struggling, there are people that are struggling, they are struggling to make ends meet, and that is true. But it is also true that you do pull yourself up by the bootstraps. So he will have you focus on those, you know, that farmworker. "There's that farmworker that I met, Sally Muckenfutch and boy, she... Sally Muckenfutch's husband was run over by a plow and his one Clydesdale that had emphysema." And he will tell you that story.
I want you to reframe this in your own head, please. 50% of America does not pay taxes. Think about that in your everyday life. You think about, you can look at that person who is handing you fast food tonight. On your way home or your way to lunch, you look at that person and you think, they don't pay taxes. You know what, because they're struggling. Do you also follow that up with, "I know why they're struggling." "I said a chocolate shake!" "What? I gave you onion rings." There's a reason some of these people are struggling, because they don't give a flying crap. Why don't they give a flying crap? Because somebody like Obama will run in and save the day for them. You don't have to work. You don't have to do it right. You don't have to struggle. You don't have to get the fries and the onion rings and the milkshake right. And you are going to you are destined to lead that life of misery for the rest of your life because no one has ever said to you you're fired. We expect a higher quality here. You're fired. And when they are fired, they don't care because they'll get it from the government. They will be able to find some victim support group that caused them to have all of these problems so 50% can carry the other 50% on their back. And by the way, the top 1% carries most of the top 50%. The top 5% carries almost all of the top 50%. You want to talk about a country of fairness, that ain't it. You want to talk about a country of hope, that ain't it. You want to talk about a country that used to understand you know what? You know what? We're going to bust our ass, and I'm going to get out of poverty. I'm going to make something of myself. A country that would understand Barack Obama's story in context. Look at this man. He came from nothing. He went to Harvard. His wife went to Princeton. God bless America they could do it and he would stand on the stage and say I could do it and you could do it, too, and you could do it without anybody's help. That's America.

Bill of NON Rights
NEW AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights.
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair, sniff the gas chamber, swing from the gallows, or take it in the vein!!
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!

Lesser of Two Evils
Thankfully for me I live in a fairly gun friendly state. However once I got my CCL a few years ago I, of course, became noticeably more aware of the No Weapons signs on local business' doors. Now as a rule, if at all possible, I just avoid these stores. However being that I live in a small town occasionally this just isn't feasible. So once I found out that your first offense for carrying a weapon where it is prohibited is a misdemeanor with a $300 fine I decided to basically ignore the posted sign and carry anyway. With the exception of government buildings. I'm rebellious, not stupid.
My friend was appalled at this until I pointed out that the business owners would never know and that if for some reason they DID find out it would be in the unlikely event that I felt pressed to defend a life (mine or someone else's.) So I guess I've just decided that being able to protect my self regardless of some corporation's political views is more important to me than a misdemeanor charge and a few hundred bucks. I think my life, and those of my family, is worth $300 don't you?

Abortion
Yeah, I'm going there.
Saw this bumper sticker and thought "Damn that makes no sense." Obviously the person is Pro Choice. Fine. Whatever. But least get one thing straight- sperm are NOT viable life. They are POTENTIAL life. A sperm all on it's very own will not create a human being. It needs help. Like a uterus and an egg and a portal to the outside world. You know- a WOMAN. Some guy getting his rocks off to the current Bunny of the Month isn't killing a viable life. Get that key word? VI-A-BLE As in it doesn't include any of the other necessary components to eventually become a living breathing human. A fertilized, implanted egg that is past the point of two pink lines and the "Oh shit what am I going to do now!" is a VIABLE life. Most likely, given 9 months, it WILL turn into a small creature with 10 toes and fingers.
I am Pro Life. In my world, excluding cases of rape and/or incest, if you choose to drop your drawers, you deal with the consequences. Anyone who goes into a sexual relationship thinking "Oh well if I get knocked up I always have out out," is never EV. ER. going to learn a damn thing. Don't preach to me about 16 year old girls. I have no sympathy. First of all I was sexually active in high school and I used NO LESS than 2 forms of birth control. And now a days they give them out FOR FREE. Second of all I have 2 friends who have been waiting for AGES to adopt from an agency with 40,000 couples nation wide who are also waiting. So don't tell me adoption isn't an option because I will call bullshit.
There is NO excuse for getting knocked up provided you willingly consented to have sex. There are a bajillion types of birth control available that your local friendly health department worker will throw at you with reckless abandon in order to prevent you from reproducing.
So seriously Mr. Pro Choice advocate, take your absurd claim that your some how miracle sperm can produce human life all on it own and shove it up your ass. Just sayin'.
Saw this bumper sticker and thought "Damn that makes no sense." Obviously the person is Pro Choice. Fine. Whatever. But least get one thing straight- sperm are NOT viable life. They are POTENTIAL life. A sperm all on it's very own will not create a human being. It needs help. Like a uterus and an egg and a portal to the outside world. You know- a WOMAN. Some guy getting his rocks off to the current Bunny of the Month isn't killing a viable life. Get that key word? VI-A-BLE As in it doesn't include any of the other necessary components to eventually become a living breathing human. A fertilized, implanted egg that is past the point of two pink lines and the "Oh shit what am I going to do now!" is a VIABLE life. Most likely, given 9 months, it WILL turn into a small creature with 10 toes and fingers.

Do what now?
I got this info from a Friends of Fred Thomson email and I'm floored. A Republican is supporting government mandated health care? Seriously? Have they done no research? Hell they're close enough to Canada, just ask them how great it is. And to penalize those with out health care? What if someone is wealthy enough to pay out of pocket? Should they be fined too?
And on top of that to cover all abortions? A government health care plan is paying for abortions. Tax payers money is helping to fund abortions. Unfuckingbelievable.
Here's a link to the video mentioned in the email and a link to the state's website where is tells those lucky residents of MA to register or face the hammer of doom. I bet Jay is having a field day with this.....
Oh and here's the text of the actual email-
"Mitt Romney says his government-mandated health care plan is one of his most important accomplishments as governor. But what does his plan really accomplish, and is this the kind of health care plan YOU would want to be forced to pay for?
Today, November 15th, Massachusetts residents who fail to register with the government and show proof of health care coverage will be slapped with a tax penalty for this year!
For individuals, the amount will be on average $219 this year and they will receive a punitive fine as much as $2,000 over the next year.1
Small business owner? It's even worse; you'll be fined $295 per employee who isn't enrolled in Romney's government-mandated health care plan!2
So what sort of services does Romney's health care p lan provide?
Per the state website:
$50 co-pay for abortions
While court mandate requires Massachusetts to cover "medically necessary" abortions in state-subsidized health plans4, Mitt Romney's plan covers ALL abortions - no restrictions.
After it passed, Romney vetoed dental care for Medicaid recipients from his health plan, but did nothing to prevent coverage of abortion on demand for a mere $50.
Romney has tried to distance himself from his Hillarycare-type plan, but you can watch the video where he takes full credit. There's nothing conservative about Mitt Romney's health care plan. It's a government subsidized health care plan that requires citizens to register with the state, slaps working people with tax penalties, and provides $50 abortions on demand."

Hodgepodge
Lord ya'll, this week has kicked my ass. I work with hundreds of men and about a dozen women and all the testoterone in that building just kills me sometimes. Yes, I am a female. Yes, I'm out working your ass. That doesn't make me a suck up, it makes you lazy. Asshole.
Second, I'm starting a new blog. I'll be having my IUD removed tuesday and we'll be on our way to gettin me knocked up. However I more to talk about than my uterus so I'm not going to make this blog about that. Add me to your Bloglines, your favorites, write the address on your forhead, whatever.
Also, I'm throwing my support, for what it's worth, behind Fred Thompson. I'd met 3 of the major candidates prior to meeting Fred and I wasn't nearly as impressed. As it is I now have a Support Fred widget to your left there. Use it would ya? I like my guns and I'd like to keep them with out having to kill anyone.
And finally my last acquisition- a Nightforce scope for my .223. It a 5.5-22x56 and it rocks. So much so my husband took my damn rifle this morning. I'll post pics tomorrow or Monday for those of you that are into that sort of thing.

Cause we's okies
I never watch our local news. Never. It's all half assed reporting and puff pieces with whatever 30 second clip of actual news they've chosen for the day. Unfortunately one of the biggest news pieces lately has been Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to the US (who decided to let the bastard in anyway? if restaurants have the right to refuse service shouldn't the United States have the same right?)and the speeches he gave while here. Now, one would assume that if you *knew* you were going to have to read something off a teleprompter that may be somewhat outside your realm of commonly used words that you might fit in some time to work on the proper enunciation. Well, you know what "ass"uming does.
So with out much, if any, practice these idiot "reporters" (I use that term loosely) attempt to pronounce Ahmadinejad's name. Live. On air. It ends up sounding something like this-
"Iranian President MyMOOD Akmar....Amaginina.....Ak-MAD-din-E-Gad is set to visit the United States this week."
*sigh*
Now I know that the two dozen people who watch our local news probably couldn't even tell you who OUR president is. So I'm sure they don't know who Iran's president is. But for God's sake if you're going to call yourself a reporter you could at least get on Wikipedia and study the pronunciation.
So I gave them a shot. Now I'm back to Fox, Glen Beck, and Hannity. Sorry i strayed boys, guess I just needed a reminder.
I not even going to go into how Mahmoud got all pissy* because someone asked him a difficult question and actually expected him to answer it. Big wuss. Will someone press the big red button and get this over with already?
*Can someone explain to me why blogger's spell check won't recognize "pissy" as a word but gives me a not so pleasant word for the female anatomy as the first suggestion for replacement?

Now things are gonna get intersting
Seems Fred Thompson has announced his candidacy. I've been waiting for this. The other Republican candidates are taking jabs at him for announcing his intent on Leno, for skipping last nights debate, and for waiting so long to run. Seems thou doth protest too much. The man has been ranked in the top of GOP candidates for months and he wasn't even running. The funny thing is that in response he mentioned that it's harder to get on Leno than it is to get in a Republican debate. Touche.

Chavez, poster boy for control freak
Turns out old Hugo just can't stand not having absolute control over everyfreakinthing so he's decided he must play God and "fairly distribute the sunrise." I. Shit. You. Not. Apparantly fair distribution of the sun falls into the duties of a dictator. I'm assuming he also enjoys the privledge of distributing jobs, wealth, and food. But Lord knows giving the poor kids more light to do their chores makes him such a "nice guy." Forget the fact it's partly his fault they're poor to begin with. Asshole. Socialists scare me.

I met Mitt Romney!
And I'm totally geeky excited about it. He held a town hall meeting this afternoon in our student union and he really does rock. He's funny. He flat out told everyone one of the things we should be instilling in our kids is to actually get married before you get knocked up. He's supportive of the 2nd Amendment the way it should be supported. He thinks the illegal's that are already here should get there ass to the back of the line (screw amnesty) but supports everyone who comes here legally. When we asked him questions he actually answered the question that was asked with out having to run around the building twice trying to avoid it. Every question that was asked was answered in a straightforward, no bullshit, like it or not way. I gotta respect that. Now I'm not saying I've given up on old Fred but at this point, after hearing several of the candidates speak in person, Mitt is at the top of my list. Plus he quoted Reagan ("I'm not saying Democrats are ignorant. it's just that everything they think they know is wrong.")AND he told the guy trying to get himt o leave that he wasn't done talking yet and that whatever he had planned would have to wait. He stuck around an hour more than was planned to answer all of the qustions we had. I like him. And I like the plans he's got and the fact that his sense of humor rocks. He didn't come off canned like the others I've seen have. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot about him. Of course at this point "Anyone but Hillary" is becoming my motto.

TANSTAAFL
Ok I got tagged by Babs to carry on this meme. I'm supposed to write something giving an example of the phrase, "There Ain't No Such Thing as a Free Lunch" in action. And tag five other people.
Here's what I'm going with-
The increase in minimum wage. Why is every one so freaking excited about this? Oh yes, because they haven't thought it through.The House voted to increase the minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 and hour over the next two years. To those making $5.15 an hour that sounds great. And extra two plus bucks an hour Woo-Hoo!
Wrong. Here's what going to happen Mr. and Mrs. Minimum Wage... The small businesses are going to raise their prices in order to compensate for the extra income they're paying out. Which means your cost of living is at the very least going to remain the same if not even increase. Instead of paying .98 for that can of green beans on your $5 and hour income you'll be paying over a dollar on your new and improved income. Not to mention that new nifty tax bracket the good old government put you in. You know, the bracket that means they can take more money out in taxes every week? Because they'll raise your income sure as shit but they certainly aren't going to change the brackets to give themselves less money.
And in two years when the final raise is given, those of you working for Small Business, who are really the only people still paying $5.15 an hour, are going to find yourselves totally unemployed. Because no matter how much they raise their prices to compensate for the income increase many of them are still going to find themselves in a crunch. And they're going to have to sink or swim. When your faced with the proposition of drowning, getting rid of dead weight is your first choice. So now, not only will the prices of goods have increased, suddenly, you find your self with no job at all. And you can bet your bippy that the welfare checks aren't going to increase with the minimum wage.
So Mr. Minimum Wage Earner, before you get all excited over the idea that the this new Democratic government is so wonderful that they've decided to give you more money remember that shit travels downhill. Like Reagan himself joked "I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

Balls of Steel
I heart the British guy who decided to say the hell with political correctness and went on a rant about Islam. He says everything in this short clip that many of us have been thinking for years. I'll admit to at least one jaw dropping moment (when he says he doesn't want to be murdered by some "carpet chewing, book burning muppet, with shit for brains" I'll admit to thinking "Damn that's asking for it don't ya think?") but for the most part the fellow is spot on.
He's right when he says that the Muslims bitching about being "respected" has started a downhill slide of other groups demanding the same. I am civil until given a reason not to be. But respect implies that there is something to be admired. I'm not going to respect you just because your DNA happens to read human, instead of say, squirrel.
Free speech is used to justify all kinds of bullshit. Porn for instance. Pornography is NOT free speech. It is commerce. If those naked women stopped making Hef and Larry piles of dough they'd drop them before you could say Viagra. I have a feeling when our men and women were fighting the Nazi's to protect our citizens from the oppression that so many were subjected to under Hitler's reign, that they weren't exactly thinking that would apply to suicide bombers and women taking offensive parts of equine up the ass.
Besides the First Amendment only protects you from being prosecuted by Congress and the judicial branches of government for expressing your opinion on religion, assembling peaceable and so on and so forth. No where in the Amendment does it say that I, a young southern woman with conservative values, has to listen to you rant and rave about virgins and pork. The First Amendment doesn't require that I "respect" any damn thing you say. By law I cannot harm you (though I think the occasional slap upside the head would do many people good. Me included on occasion) and I cannot "slander" you. But I do NOT have to respect you or admire you.
Anyone who tells me, in the face of everything that has and is happening, that Islam is a "peaceful" religion is going to overload my bullshit meter. Every religion has it's extremists and b/c of the way our media works they always get more air time. But Jerry Falwell, in all his judgemental days, never ONCE encouraged anyone to blow up the homosexuals he spoke so ill of. Billy Graham hasn't ever killed a liquor store owner just b/c he doesn't drink. Rev Jackson hasn't ever stolen a plane to fly into Obama's house for not being "black enough." They've all said some pretty ignorant, close minded things but they have never encouraged anyone to harm those they held in disdain for what ever reason. As a result, though I may not agree with them, I respect their right to express their opinions. I do not now, nor will I ever respect a group who insists that the only way to get to heaven is to kill. Mr. Brit With Steel Balls is correct, that doesn't make you religious, it makes you insane. They make pills for that.

For the love of Pete
Glenn Beck had my favorite home state Senator Jim Inhofe on the show today to discuss his proposal to make English the official language. The proposal is currently opposed by every Democratic Senator. He needs 10 Democrats to pass the bill.
I'm personally conflicted about the proposal. I would hate for it to affect the languages of the many Native American tribes in my state, but then again they aren't the ones bitching about it. I know it would save the state of California a ton of money what with only having to print signs in one language.But I also think that we're doing our children a disservice by not insisting that they become bilingual like most of Europe is. It makes you more marketable professionally and makes travelling easier. But I can also see the numerous benefits and I think they outweigh any cons I may conceive.
Aside from all that I'd like to award the Stupidest Thing I've Heard Today to Senator Dick Durbin. He said (and I quote) 'bloods of illegal immigrants would be on your hands because'---get out your duct tape---'we would have to take down the no swimming signs (that are in Spanish) along the border' thus, more illegals will drown.'
I shit you not.
First of all (and this is going to piss someone off) isn't that one way to help the immigration influx? Second of all, what's stopping the Mexican government from posting their own damn signs? Why is it suddenly OUR responsibility to save other country's citizens from being dumbass's? We can't keep people like Inas and Paris Hilton from becoming victim's of social Darwinism, now we're trying to take on the rest of the world's bottom rung? Yeah, seems like good solid government logic.
I'm also thisclose to steaming about the fact that they can't seem to stop focusing on what to do with the illegals we have here instead of stopping the flow from the border. You cannot deal with those already here until you stop them from coming in the first place. I'm borrowing an example I heard from the aforementioned Mr Beck (though I'm not quoting him exactly)- Imagine your upstairs bathtub is overflowing. I mean dripping through the ceiling full. Your going to have to redo the flooring, the drapes, the walls. Now would the smart thing to do be to call the interior decorator to come and asses the damage and talk about what color paint to use or to GO TURN OFF THE DAMN WATER? You cannot deal with the water damage until you stop it from flowing.
So everyone needs to (and I mean right the hell now) go and write/call/email/visit your Senator and ask them to please support Sen. Inhofe's proposal. It isn't a fix but it's a damn good start.

Democratic Debate
I see 8 people on that stage. I swear I do. Unfortunately it seems that only 3 of them have obtained the ability to speak. Mrs. Bill Clinton, Obama, and The Breck Girl (Edwards for you non Rush listeners) seem to be the rather dim stars of the Democrat's show.
One of there favorite question to ask it seems (as they've asked not only the Republicans but the Democrats as well) is "If elected how would you use Bill Clinton in your presidency?" Um do wha'?
First of all I can only assume that taking him out and shooting him isn't an option. Barring that, I would think that Ol' Bill himself might want a say in what he does. Since he seems so eager to hang on to the spotlight I'm guessing something that gets him out among the people is what's he'd want. Especially young, eager, power hungry people. (that's as far as I'm going with the Lewinsky innuendo's)
The other thing I noticed in watching the debate is that all 8 of the candidates seem to be running against Bush. I'm not sure if anyone has told them this, but Bush won't be their opponent. It no longer matters what an awful job he may or may not have done. What matters is the up and coming GOP candidates (BTW, Draft Fred ). All I here is "this administration" this and "this administration" that. Guess what ya'll? This administration is gettin' the boot come January 09'. Not to mention that they keep tossing W's approval rating around like it means something. It's at around 37% right now. Have any of the Senators up on that stage bothered to learn that the Senate's approval rating is around *29%*. Yeah, the American people hate Bush. But they REALLY hate you. That must make ya feel all warm and fuzzy right?
I made it through most of the debate and then realized my toenails needed painting and that took precedence. I TiVo'd the last half hour and when I think my senses can handle another load of bullshit I'll give it my best to finish it out.
