I am amazed every time I hear people say, or even better...call me on the phone at home, asking for or demanding money to support our police. I usually have a quip about taxes paid and the role of cops has changed from when I was a kid. This doesn't sate the whiner. "What about when you need the cops and they aren't there?"...my response is, "I know where to find them." HUH?
You see, I know where to find the cops. They aren't at the donut shop, that's an old cliche' that doesn't apply anymore. If I need a cop, I look for the one dressed in the Turkey costume trapping people not stopping for pedestrians in a crosswalk. I look for the Mission Impossible teams set up at intersections looking to see if someone is driving with both hands on the wheel, seatbelt on, and no phone near his/her hand. You see, we have such an abundance of cops and money in this town, we can afford to put cops on bicycles pedalling around the city looking for gumchewers and litterbugs. But if your home alarm goes off, don't call the cops! Call someone you know to go to your house and be a third party verification witness in order to call the cops and verify that investigating is still needed. You see, the cops don't investigate alarms, it's almost beneath them to fight crime, that is left for some do-gooder with a spandex fetish and a utility belt.
Really, Rev, that is what you are ranting about today? Well, yes. I'm being asked to fork over more money to support babysitting efforts? I am saying no. I don't need a babysitter. "But some people do."...fine, let them pay for it. Let's have a seperate license plates (with a special tax on it) for people who want to be babysat by Metro. If those people are talking on the phone, ticket them. If my license plate isn't the one with the icon (maybe a blue wheelchair? or an old person with an oxygen tank and cigarette?) then the babysitting law doesn't apply. Then, when a crumbly (that's what old people are called) wants to renew their license, they either pass a strict test, or they get a "special" plate that requires more money and a badged babysitter looking out for them. What could be simpler?
How about making idiots responsible? Too tough a concept? naw, what we do is make anyone in violation of stupidity to join a club (meaning we tattoo "moron" on them) and all these inane laws designed to save us from ourselves apply to them. It could work. We could even sterilize them to make sure they don't have tard-kids that we eventually have to make laws to protect from themselves? Or...we could let Darwin do his thing, and if stupid hurts...let it hurt. I'm fairly confident that pain is the best detractor of stupid activity, and in sheilding its effects, we extend the learning curve to allow more stupid to be spread around us...causing us to think that outlawing otherwise harmless behavior is our only measure to stave off the stupidity gene. It isn't...and we can't afford it...so stop calling me unless you hear my alarm, and I need to verify before Metro will investigate.

Blame game?
Bastiat raises a point in his "The Law" which i cannot stress enough. We, as a country, have given the government control of banking, allowed a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a mandate to educate our kids, and control of our health...so is it fair to demand accountability? If the private marketplace is held accountable, we have recourse...i dont like fat free salad dressings, i choose the real thing...but when the federal government controls anything, we cannot go anywhere to avoid it. That, regardless of all the hyperbole, is the definition of a marxist or socialist state. So when the federal government is an abject failure...we still have poverty, we arm the cartels bringing drugs into our country, our kids are morons...yes they are...and now we have to submit to the whims of a government who is willing to have thousands of gestapo...i mean IRS agents enforcing obamacare...when do we play the blame game? How about november, this year. Whoever wins the royal throne in washington can get my support by doing one thing. Give me liberty, let me be responsible for whether i do a drug. Let me worry about how hard i must work to make ends meet. Allow me to choose what school to give money to, and let banks fight it out for my savings dollars. The federal government has taken my liberty, my choices, and my responsibilities....and they have failed to accomplish their goals...so HELL YES i blame them. I want my inalienable rights back, and i'm getting tired of asking nicely. Oh, and Debbie wuzzaman Schultz, you ain't seen a lack of civility yet. Keep spinning your yard of BS, and at your doorstep will be the responsibility for the lack of civility. With power comes responsibility, and you have too much of the former, and none of the latter.

Learn the Hard Way...
As a conservative, I've been called just about everything you can call someone who believes in self reliance, responsibility, and liberty. I've been a "grinch", a "jerk", an "unsympathetic prick"; I was even once called a "miserly bastard". I've been labeled "lucky", "fortunate", "from a good family" and "undeserving" of what I have. Every insult hurled at me has bounced off of a hide that is pretty thick due to my father's advice growing up. He said to me, "you can ask for handouts, take charity, or even steal from others, but know that the only thing you have done is make it easier for the next time you fail at something to just give up and ask for more help, or steal something else until you get caught...and that makes you a bad citizen." HUGE words that to this day keep me motivated to get ahead. The real depth of his words are that he equates charity and welfare with stealing. How is it not, if the welfare comes from compulsary taxes. Greece is in the middle of an ordeal that will see thousands of people kicked off the dole when the money dries up; stories of kids being dropped off at orphanages, or street corners. And then...we get this:
Greece adds PEDOPHILIA, KLEPTOMANIA and EXHIBITIONISM to their list of DISABILITIES that get state aid. WTF. "John, yeah it's Pete...I can't come to work anymore, I need to get my state aid so I can stay home...what's that? Oh, I like having sex with kids...so I can't come to work." ARE YOU KIDDING? Let that country go down the drain, it's disgusting that their budget problems STILL aren't sinking in...don't they know that they're broke...wait a minute.
Here we are in the USA, budget problems, wars, corruption, crony capitalism, gun running to drug cartels...and we (Notice I don't say 'obama') WE are allowing the Repubicans and Democrats in Congress to lie to us, steal from us, and tell us at the end of the day that we need to raise taxes in order to survive or pay social security. How do they have the nerve to say this, use racial lines to divide us, then actually call our homes and ask for donations to help them get reelected 12 months from now?
If you aren't awakened by this, then you deserve what comes to you. Vote for Romney, or Obama, or Obomney...I don't care if you do...but when you cry about high cost of health care and no doctors who want to be in the business of socialized gov't run medical field...I will be the stingey niggardly bastard you thought I was, because you were stupid enough to believe that any president can actually control the country. You can pass prohibition, we'll get around it. You can mandate 100 mpg for all cars, we'll get around it. You can outlaw our light bulbs, we'll get around it. We are resilient, we are flush with cash, and we will hide it, just like Anne Frank.
You, the American, you allowed the Tea Party to become a punchline, then had it drop into obscurity when the likes of Santorum and Romney can claim they are in the fold. Nobody in the media challenging Romney on his past...because he's electable? Ask Perot if Bush was electable...then when I, along with countless tin foil hat wearers put that idiot Obama back in the white house to show the country that we will not eat the slop you serve us, you can get irate with us, say "Anyone but Obama", but then shoot down every one of them until we get to the "Establishment darling"...no way, I may have a tin foil hat on, but it isn't a dunce hat. You vote for Romney, I have to live with myself.
So what is the issue? I say it is leadership. The "leaders" of the republican party are Boener, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, and countless others that should have been dismissed from the party to make way for real leadership, but since the Republican party has a single file system for letting members run for office, I assume we'll see Santorum, Huntsman, Bachman et al in four years...and whoever lasts the longest against Mitt will be next in line. This is your choice, this is your freedom. You should be scared to death that the next major movement in this country isn't Occupy, it's Abandon. How many producers are going to agree to live as the target to the growing "needy" who call themselves the "99%"? Here is an excerpt from my new favorite book, The Law, by Frederic Bastiat...you NEED to read this, it is 90 pages or so.
"The Basis for Stable Government,
"Law is justice. In this proposition we represent to ourselves a simple immovable Government. I defy anyone to tell me whence the thought of a revolution, an insurrection, or a simple disturbance could arise against a public force confined to the repression of INJUSTICE. Under such a system, there would be more well-being, and this well-being would be more equally distributed; and as to the sufferings inseparable from humanity, no one would think of accusing the Government of them, for it would be as innocent of them as it is of the variations of the temperature. Have the people ever been known to rise against the court of appeals, or assail the justices of the peace, for the sake of claiming the rate of wages, gratuitous credit, instruments of labor, the advantages of the tariff, or the social workshop? They know perfectly well that these combinations are beyond the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace, and they would soon learn that they are not within the jurisdictions of the law. But if the law were to be made upon the principles of fraternity, if it were to be proclaimed that from it proceed all benefits and all evils, then it is responsible for every individual grievance and for every social inequality- then you open the door to an endless succession of complaints, irritations, troubles and revolutions."
yeah...that's from a French guy in 1848 French Revolution times, when France was heading toward Socialism. 160 years later, and we haven't learned...but the Greeks are learning the hard way. Our gov't was set up to be always in check...tell me, who is checking the authority of the Executive? Congress has no testicles...and they represent us. So we will...eventually, learn the hard way too.

Wait...that's the guy...
Last week I blogged about a bunch of Republican candidates, and what I thought was their problem...but I left one out. I had NO idea it would lead to him being 9 votes from the Republican frontrunner as the conservative alternative to Romney. Do you know WHY I didn't think he'd be the Republican frontrunner as the conservative alternative to Romney???????? Because he isn't conservative. I know what you're gonna say, "He's a ultra religious guy with Republican written all over him." Well, that is true. He's a Republican for the EXACT reasons I can't be one. I'll break it down...
Rick Santorum is a sanctimonious self-righteous knowitall that actually said that he believes consentual sex between two adult males leads to beastiality and pedophilia. That if a man puts his penis inside the butt of another man enough times, he will try it with a dog, or even a child. Now Rick never specified if the man would want to have sex with a boy child or just any child...and I don't think he mentioned the age of the dog (not sure if the sex of the dog matters either?) but we can assume that any and all earthquakes and hurricanes are because of the gays too.
Rick Santorum is a self-righteous knowitall that actually said that his signature issues are gays, abortion and family values. This is because Rick Santorum is a self-righteous...ok, you get the point...why is Rick Santorum more interested in what people do with their personal lives than what is going on with the corruption in Washington? Do you remember the vegetative wife on life support named Terri Schiavo? How can you forget the name, there were news stories, congressional hearings, a court case...I mean, my god, if that were my wife or mother...and some asshole wanted to sue to keep her hooked up to a machine when she has no ability to live without it...to die a horribly prolonged death without any control over your own life or loved ones last wishes...well Rick Santorum is the self righteous knowitall that started that Federal Horseshit circus. By the way, never thanked you for that waste of taxpayer TIME and money. Stay out of my life...that's what Democrats are always trying to do to us.
Rick Santorum ... is opposed to contraception. So he doesn't wear a rubber. His wife was pregnant with his 7? 8th? baby, and it was stillborn premature, about 20 weeks. Rick and his wife brought that gift from god home to meet the rest of the family. I would never make fun of this man's loss, until he turned the loss into an opportunity to push his god-shit to a bunch of kids...you brought my prematurely born-dead brother home...so I could see it? WTF is wrong with them. I'm insensitive, fine, but he's just creapy.
Rick Santorum...owned property in Pit., but rented it out, so he wasn't really living the district he was running for...but his kids, at the time, were all enrolled in Pit...well, it was an online university...and they were living in Virginia...but there's a connection there. OK, my problem with this, is OBAMA does this kind of stuff. Stop skirting around clear rules.
Rick Santorum was a lawyer who argued against steroid regulations in Professional Wrestling. Douche.
Rick Santorum is obsessed with Iran. Wait till Iran hears the stories of OUR wacko religious dictator...errrr president.
Rick Santorum loves earmarks as a way for congress to assign Federal funds. As a conservative, we don't think the Federal government should have our money to begin with...remember the founding principles of the Republican party? Small gov't, local control...nothing? Ringing a bell here? Hello? Is this thing on? Stop raising the debt ceiling. Asshole.
This is not the antiromney. He is just another beaurocrat who thinks he knows better than we do for our lives.
