Kicking Ass is Racist

This is the most comedic of all the Obama apologists claims. Kicking ass is a state of mind that embodies men and women of action like Mr. Beamish, The Editrix and many others who are combative no prisoners types. It in no way refers to Obama who runs from teleprompter to cocktail parties with the annoying Pepsi Knock off logo.

Obama has no leadership or charisma and appears arrogant.

Review of Arundel

This is an excellent book if you are not expecting James Mitchner or are a fan of the NY/NE Revolutionary War fad. You probably are better off with Drums Along the Mohawk and ditching the rest of Edmonds. Roberts spends alot of time on a positive portrayal of Indians and the very real prejudices they faced. It is well written, but predictable. The portrayals of Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr are likely very real.

I am reading the second book in this series. It is longer with two different main charachters, but all of the major charachters from Arundel appear in this book.

Never been better

I want to thank AOW, TMW, Warren and many others. I can honestly say I have never been happier in my life. There were some potholes, but each and every day is a pleasure. Those who I mentioned and many others were friends in every sense of the word. I didn't arrive to this happy place without many wonderful coworkers, friends and family. No man is more blessed than I am.

The truth is I am blessed with a job I love. I get to serve the American people each and every day. There are those who love the criminal cases, national security cases, but for me there is no greater joy than seeing ordinary couples starting a new life or reuniting parents with children. I can think of no job I would rather be doing. I feel honored to share tis moment and let the first official experience with the US government be a pleasant one. In Vermont people would not even know who helped them and in many cases I went above and beyond the call of duty to find the missing piece of a puzzle. In NYC the people know exactly who you are and most appreciate it.

I may have conveyed this story so those of you who read it just ignore it. A serviceman serving abroad made an error in his application. His case went around in circles for three years. He wasn't able to get his problem fixed when his file was tossed on my desk. In my typical style I explained the situation to peers at the top and crossed my fingers. I was shocked when the serviceman and his attorney were at my desk. He was on leave from combat and I explained exactly how the error occured and what we are doing to remedy it. The attorney said for the first time in three years I feel confident. The situation had some minor glitches, but top bosses got me expert help in some areas. Top management agreedto cut some red tape as the person lived in an adjacent district. The top boss said " there are times that things become top priority
and aiding servicemen in combat zones when they seek our assistance is at the top of the list."
I recieved a letter of thanks from this serviceman. I forwarded it to my top boss with a memo
thanking him for assisting me with this project.

Most people hate going to work. For me it is a pleasure and a unique challenge each and every day. Other than the time I spend with the Tranquil Sea and the beloved Sprite I can think of no greater pleasure.

A Giant Has Left the Room

A much beloved coworker will be retiring soon. He was loved by all who he came into contact with. I had the luck of living not far from him and we had read many of the same books. For my peer this was a rarity as few people had read even a handful of the books he read. He talked me into reading historical fiction. In his honor I picked up my first book in the genre and have been enjoying Arundel. I used to read this genre but some lunatic leftistst oddly complained about two peers discussing James Mitchners the Covenant and we were told to leave the book at home.

I have never seen such a large gathering of high ranking people from many agencies paying tribute. It was my honor to be amongst such a distinguished group of peers. My peer walked me through some hairy cases. Most of the time it was false alarms. Even when I stated nothing is there at times they had to look to be sure. My peer would say Beaks let me take a short look it can't hurt. There were times I did find nasty stuff and he always wanted to know how I did it and he made sure to get my technique.

There wasn't a dry eye in the house and I sat with a legendary peer who will also be retiring within three years. She is loved by her peers but hated by attorneys as she is really tough. It is funny that we are good friends but tempermentally opposites. Attorneys with bad cases love for
me to hear their cases because I will listen to their points. My style is to look at the facts and state the case needs X or Y. I will also take the extra time when needed to deal with difficult cases. If a case can not be fixed I state exactly what the problem is unless there are confidentiality issues.

In many respects my peer who retired is very similar in temperment and ability. He had the good fortune to have great mentors and he credited those who were with him.

Our agency trully lost a giant whose shoes will never be filled. I was honored to learn from him.

Anti Brittish Sentiment?????

I do agree with those who are critical of the amount of anti BP rhetoric stated by this administration. However, the Obama administration has a history of beating up foreign firms in the press notably Toyota. Then again this adminstration has spent more time blaming Rush Limbaugh and Fox news for his poll numbers than creating jobs.

There is some legitimate anger at the BP. However, the anger really belongs directed at the Obama administration for not directly intervening and getting more involved with the efforts to reduce the impact of the spill earlier. In short Obama rather than getting the USA directly involved in the efforts to seal the leak passed the buck to BP.

That being said drilling for Oil remains a dangerous activity. BP is a respectable company and an assett to the communities it serves. I proudly buy my gas at BP and will not spend a nickel at Citgo even if it were far less expensive to do so.

The discussion of BP is in no way anti UK. Moreover, folks in the USA really don't care about the UK or comment about its politics anywhere near the level that its residents obsess about events
in America to an almost cartoon like manner. One can read American blogs and see scant coverage of events in the UK other than Prince Charles and Galloway are loons. I contrast this with the ignorantii at Harry's Place who proclaim themselves experts on all things American based upon a few trips to NYC, reading the Bolshevik NYT and the Huffington Post and accounts of events in their local media.

Examples of this

1) Whole threads on the Tea Party Movement from people who have never attended a single event. Tea Party events are in fact more peaceful and less hateful than so called "Nuremberg style so called Peace Protests". Even a basic glance at the wonderful blog of the Urban Infidel shows this in seconds.

2) Lengthy Diatribes about radio talk show hosts the authors have never bothered to listened to.
Sorry, but self proclaimed media experts should at least listen to a few shows before claiming expertise. In fact Limbaugh listeners are more educated and earn more than the general public.
Mark Levin is an actual Constitutional Scholar and his show is far and away more informative than anything on MSNBC. Sean Hannity has plenty of opposing views on his show.

3) Whole threads on Books the authors have never bothered to read. One should at least attempt to read Unfit for Command before commenting on it.

There is no such animal as anti UK sentiment in the USA. There is some anti French sentiment
that has been toned down by the friendlier tone of Sarkozy. There is plenty of anti Castro and Chavez sentiment in the USA based on the policies of criminal regimes.

The folks in the UK are quite off on this one. Most Americans really could care less about what goes on in the UK. This is not hatred, it is more irrelevance and boredom.

Obama wants to find some tails to kick

This type of expression works when one is a man of action like Mr. Beamish. This is a comedy classic comming from an out of touch government who has annoyed historic allies and blamed Rush Limbaugh and Fox News while the economy has burned. This administration may be the greatest collection of incompetents ever collected in Washington.

November is payback vote anyone who sides with Obama out. What is surprising is the failure of Democrats to recognize the handwritting on the wall. As Obama crashes the Democrats fail to move away from the disaster.

Perhaps Obama can do us a favor and kick his own tail.

Good First Step

The UK apparently has enacted a law that requires spouses to have English proficiency before immigration. This is a good idea and in theory is practiced by the USA for citizenship. However, in reality this is not applied and many times people granted citizenship can not speak English.

Oddly if this were applied in the USA the usual suspects would scream racism. Yet oddly countries like Ghana, Nigeria, the Philipinnes and Israel would have little issues with this new law.

The reality of this law is that sometimes mothers of young United States Citizen children can not speak English. The other day I had to conduct an interview in French which was the persons second language because they did not speak English. This person has been in the USA since the 80's. Providing social services in other languages has not helped this person learn English. Nor has being a parent to multiple US Citizen children helped this person gain fluency.

If we had responsible governance we would start to look at this area. Americans should not hold their breath waiting for the Obama administration to do anything in the area of immigration until after 2010

The perils of reading a great book on public transportation

I am still reading the interesting Arundel by Kenneth Roberts. Around page 290 I get to what is a high point in the book only to have to start work. I picked it up after work and went to page 330
where the story picks up.

The book is a historical fiction account of Benedict Arnold's invasion of Quebec. Much of the material was covered in the book Through a Howling Wilderness reviewed on this blog a few months back.

Some important notes.

1) Most of the Revolutionary War's figures were hostile to ambivalent to Indians. The notable exceptions included General Schuyler who understood the importance of good relations with Native Americans. The Oneida and Stockbridge Indians earned their respect many times over.

2) In the case of Arnold's march through Maine one of his greatest failures was to hire Indian scouts to guide his party through the rugged terrain. More than likely most scouts would have tried to guide him through at an earlier time of the year before winter set in.

3) Gen Arnold and Daniel Morgan were brave sorts who were natural leaders. In the case of Arnold his later errors should not take away from his courage and achievements.

Sleep Break

I actually got 12 hours of badly needed rest. Burning the candle at both ends is difficult.

A Reminder to all of us except souless Commies

Times are rough but even in the bad times we need to look around us and be thankful for what we have. In many cases some of us envy the man up the block for his good fortune. Yet by the same token we are not prepared for being envied ourselves. It is quite easy to look down the block and see those who have fallen on hard times.

Some of life is timing. I look up the block and see my neighbor with a similar degree who lived the Wall Street dream for 20 years. Great wife and kids but the dream died and it has been two years since he has worked. Men like that have a hard time picking themselves off the floor and doing lesser tasks. His fate could easily have been mine. I wonder if given different timing how my life would be different.

I am going to have my first fathers day. I will be making a short speech at the wedding of the older sister of the beloved Sprite. I have a loving stable relationship without much drama with the tranquil sea. I am a respected member of my adopted community. I am frequently at the charity events and am often approached for advice on various matters. In many ways I am a late bloomer.

The story of our lives are unpredictable although the ending is never in doubt. The twists and turn and plot twists are truly amazing. I used to laugh when entertainment frequently state they
want to portray me on film. Of course I am not vain enough to warrant such treatment. For the record AOW was there when one such query was made. It has been made many times. Of course the Duck will point out that his life has already been made into a film called Reefer Madness

Life is never quite as bad or as good as it seems.

To be alive young and in a loving Family in NYC

I am looking forward to spending summer days having fun with the Tranquil Sea and the Sprite.
There is no greater pleasure than going as a family to Zoo's museums and playing video games with the Sprite. She is very sweet and has a lot of fun as I am very patient and loving.

While alive live.

A day with the Tranquil Sea

I sent the day with the Tranquil Sea and the beloved Sprite. We brought in food and went shopping
and played WII mini golf. I also got her a new dance video game that has Blondie in it. I think the game has 19 songs but she had a blast.

I am on page 200 of Arundel. Kenneth Roberts is excellent reading so if you are Mitchnered out and are looking for something in a similar mode it is well worth the effort.

The Beak Proudly Shops at BP but not Citgo

We can argue over the errors of BP at a later date. They have worked to attempt to fix this problem. They have not pointed the finger at anyone else. Most of your BP stations are run by families in your community. They sell an excellent product and employ Americans at home.

I have never and will not set foot in a Citgo station. I will not spend a nickel supporting a narco terrorist state run by a crack addict.

I am off to get my newspaper and a diet Mountain Dew at the nearby BP.

The Sea Hag Helen Thomas Speaks

The far left mindless crone Helen Thomas has proven that she is not fit for employment outside of Stormfront or Counter punch where Nazi type rhetoric is acceptable. She stated that Jews should go back to Poland and Germany where they came from. This comment shows Thomas like the Duck to be illiterate.

1) The majority of Jooooos in Israel come from Arab lands and were ethnically cleansed. Jooos settle their refugees and commies direct Arabs to spend generations in refugee camp to create a myth of an ethnicity.

2) Few Jews came from Germany and 90% of Poland's Jews were wiped out. There are plenty of Russian Jews that fled Marxist bigotry similar to her own idiocy.

3) Arabs have a lengthy history of colonial abuses and Thomas conveniently wants to start the clock after well over 1000 years of Islamo Jim Crow.

4) Is it possible to smell formaldehyde through a web image. I think she has escaped embalming yet again.

The realities of free speech in the work place for the Editrix

The realities are that although Americans are protected by the First Amendment our speech is restricted.

We may not hang a picture of any President in our office except the current one. Thus we may hang a picture of Yogi Bear but not of Abraham Lincoln. The fact that Lincoln remains dead for over 100 years and is on our currency is not considered.

Our speech is regulated to the point that anything that considered by anyone to be offensive is considered grounds for disciplinary action. In reality it is a tool of far left and in an office of 200 plus people four workers made up 90% of the complaints.

Certain actions are offensive and should be met with a suspension. Calling a short Black coworker Gary Coleman or calling an Italian coworker Tony Soprano would get people a suspension.

In the recent election I was careful never to say a single word. Even the cryptic phrase said to a coworker "talk to me on April 15" was deemed offensive by a person who illegally played pro Obama campaign messages at work.

In reality these rules are used by people with a far left agenda to harass their peers and some supervisors to bludgeon their staff. The fact that this seems insane and flies in the face of common sense is just meaningless.

The perils of a free press

I am starting to wonder if the media coverage of the rampage shootings such as VA Tech and Columbine play a significant factor. We learn all about these demented individuals and this does seem to play a part in the crime itself.

We do live in a free society and the media is unrestricted. We get the media we deserve at times
and the lack of critical coverage of Obama outside of Fox is a joke. Our country is in a recession people want to find jobs and there is a real sense that government is out of control.

I am quite amused by commies who parrot the imbecile Noam Chomsky who waxes idiotically about corporate media. Commies create media events that often end in violence like the idiotic Gaza convoys. The notion that this was organized by terrorists and Communists as a media event and that the supplies were not needed is lost.

I am reminded of an event that was rather amusing at the RNC convention in NYC years back.
A woman screamed hysterically at Republicans you killed my brother. The cameras focused on a woman who was out of control. A veteran who was anti war asked the details and it was apparent that this persons brother fell off the aircraft carrier and the aircraft carrier had nothing to do with the Iraq War.

Terrorism is a publicity stunt largely perfected by commies with Red Brigades and Pseudostinians killing people for media coverage. Of course we can't and shouldn't ban coverage of 9-11 type of atrocities. However, maybe we need to rethink article after article on the lives of criminals and terrorists.

Unfortunately, the stories do sell and that is what drives publication. The media is merely guilty in those cases of giving us what we wish to read. They do this with everything except their sacred cow politician Obama and to a lesser extent Hillary.

The First Amendment is a great thing, but it comes with a price. The media wouldn't print those stories if we as a society didn't demand them.

Maybe a larger story should be can you still name the Columbine Killers or remember the details about the VA Tech killer. The fame is fleeting and they ultimately return to irrelevancy.

Communist Double Talk with Terrorism

Our friend Duncy pretends that Communists have nothing to do with terrorism. They make these claims that Code Pinko and Ayers and the Red Army are just anachronisms.

It turns out that the organizer of the flotilla is a terrorist organization linked to Al Queda. It just so happens that commies Bill Ayers, Dorn and Evans are active in the Free Gaza movement. The pattern of law breaking and aiding terrorism continues until the present.

Has anyone asked Obama about the continuing support and fund raising for terrorism by Bill Ayers who has broken laws previously? If we had responsible governance the leaders of Code Pink would at least be answering questions about when did they know they were working with an organization affiliated with Al Queda. Ayers never does seem to be held accountable for his actions.

The reality is that when one is a commie one is never held accountable for their actions or their history in the USA.

Logic of the Duck or Bird Brained Marxist Moronics

Yeagley Is Eeeeeevil because he dares to call Obama a negro and highlight his race. However, the Duck thinks it is perfectly acceptable to label Condi Rice Aunt Jemimah. Of course the Duck feels racial epithets are perfectly fine when said by Commies.

Disgraceful coverage by the Bolshevik NYT

The New York Times of Duranty fame proves once again why it is not to be trusted as a news source. The paper did not mention the presence of foreign communists in the Gaza ship fiasco. The paper did a very poor job of discussing the actual terrorist record of Turkish organizers.

The Israelis do not and should not apologize for defending their country from a terrorist state. There is no starvation in Gaza and when the thugs in Hamas provoke a military response the same Joooo obsessed Communists go into Jooooo derangement mode.

It is time for a different ship to set sail. Americans should gather meat and fresh produce and set sail for Venezuela. The ship should be manned by foreign anticommunists and hand out leaflets about the crimes against humanity of Chavez to recipients. Unlike the folks in Gaza who can readily find high quality meat and produce Venezuelans and Cubans have acute shortages.

Of course Cubans who have tried to rescue their family members by sea have been killed. The usual suspects approve of these abuses and talk about literacy and health care. When encouraged to relocate to Cuba if it is so great the bird brained Duck makes excuses.

Perhaps some intrepid Israelis should take the next boat and deposit it off the coast of Venezuela. The Israelis should then take the passports of the Commies and let Hugo deal with them. Let the people of Venezuela where the economy is in by far and away the worst shape of the region excepting Haiti and explain why the Gazans who lack for nothing need additional aid.

Those who were inclined to be Joooooo obsessed at the drop of a hat will continue to blame Israel
as in this case. One can not reason with Communists. They belong in mental institutions or prisons where they can pretend their paradises exist and the genocides they created are somehow rationalized.

Who loves America

I want to point out that a certain person who is quite clueless is proclaiming that they love America.
In fact this person does not understand what makes America unique.

Most of the readers here love America and one does not even have to be a US citizen to love America. In order to love this nation one must embrace the ideals as expressed in our founding documents. Our nation is one of shared vision an ideals open to all who share this vision.

Now a certain individual has wrapped themselves in the flag while denigrating Black people. Sorry,but Blacks have served with honor in every aspect of American life. This should come as no surprise as they are very much a part of the American family.

There are reasons to oppose Obama. He is more egocentric and arrogant than Bill Clinton and is amazingly less competent. He has spent little time trying to create real jobs for America and ran around promoting lousy ideas. He has gotten a free pass from the media without having any idea
of how to get people back to work.

None of the above has anything to do with race. In fact criticism of Obama on racial grounds goes against the ideas expressed in our founding documents.

The American ethos embodies individual rights and respect for property rights. The Duck is also
unamerican because he is beholden to death cult statism. Theft of private property under the
verbiage of Nationalization and class warfare populism are typical of this malady. Poultry regularly sides with every enemy of America and wants the tax payer to subsidize his obnoxious
views. People like poultry frequently call themselves "citizens of the planet". I would like them to
act upon this and renounce their citizenship.

The Duck also pretends that communist Larazza is fiction. The Duck will pretend that the racist
seditious group has nothing to do with communism while its leaders hail Chavez. Sorry, but the only things communists like Duncy excel at is treason and sedition

One can not be a patriot while castigating fellow citizens on the basis of their race. This person is merely misguided. Communists, seek the destruction of America and want it replaced with statism. They are unamerican and should do all of us a favor and join Hugo permanently.

Ban the ISM and prosecute its leaders

The ISM is a group that aids and abets terrorists. The recent episode at sea is the latest example of
Communist and Anarchists violating US law. Those members of the ISM should face criminal prosecution upon their return home.

The folks in Gaza are not starving and are in better shape than the people of Cuba and Venezuela.
Of course a ship delivering fresh meat and produce with anti Communist messages would be sunk.
Cuba has killed people for trying to help people escape Communism via the sea while the Duck waxes nostalgically about their health care and repeats cliches about literacy. Everyone is free to read exactly what the Communist government says they can read.
