JUST SOME POSTS

What part of "ILLEGAL" do people not understand? I believe in immigration, I believe in civil rights. I do NOT believe that anyone here ILLEGALLY is entitled to anything other than a trip home. The argument is not one of immigration; it is one of ILLEGAL immigration. Anyone here ILLEGALLY HAS NO RIGHTS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION!! They have the basic right of being treated humanely, as they are being sent back to where they came from. I honestly cannot even understand the argument. I will repeat my line: Calling the people here illegally an immigration problem is like calling bank robbery a withdrawal problem! If you run a boarding house and someone comes in and takes a room without an application, without any ID or proof of income, and without paying you for it; do you call the police to get them out of your house, or do you offer them amnesty? I really would like someone to present me with a compelling, cogent, relevant argument as to why this is even being discussed, oth...

Don't worry. At least four of our U.S. Senators are working for us. What are they working on you ask? The economy and unemployment? The growing deficit or burgeoning budget expenditures? How about support and/or concern for our forces fighting on multiple fronts? No, no, no. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo; Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska; and Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn. have all signed a letter they sent to Facebook questioning the new privacy policies. I don't know about you, but I feel better about my government already. (I know that is in the Constitution somewhere!?! I just can't find it??)

You want to know how to entertain a crowd? You want to know how to keep an audience on the edge of their seats? I just watched a video that sums it up... 1. You take a three year old child. 2. Put them in a flashy outfit. 3. Then they go thirty or forty feet in the air. 4. You put them on a high wire. 5. Make sure the high wire goes over a tiger pit. Now that my friends, is entertainment. I mean you got your kid appeal. You got your flashy outfit. You got your high wire fun, AND you got your pit of tigers. What more could you want? This was done in China. I guess thousands of years of culture have eliminated child labor laws?!?             FYI, the kid fell off the wire. The safety harness caught the child. Safety harness you ask?? Of course, you don't think safety was of paramount importance? btw, don't worry... no animals were harmed in the making of this video. in case you think this is a figment of my i...

This is a headline from Popular Science on-line: In Safety Study, Sheep on Meth Are Shocked With Tasers Man, I should have followed up with my science career! Or maybe have been a methamphetamine sheep farmer. Should have stayed in the FFA.

This is a reprint of a post I did back in November of 2007. With the political landscape of today it is even more relevant. I am reading The Columbia History of the World right now (maybe that explains the lack of whimsy - 1100 pages plus written in textbook form) I am reading now about the Roman empire/republic. I came to a passage that almost shocked me with it's relevance to my thoughts of today. Here it is: (and I quote giving all rights to the book) Rome ceded more easily to the demand for citizenship because her supply of citizen soldiers had continued to dwindle, and her mob of citizens without property, to grow. Of the attempts to reverse these changes the most famous were those of the Gracchi brothers in 133 and 123. Relyng on bourgeouis support, they advocated extension of citizenship to the allies, resettlement of small farmers on public land (hitherto rented to senators at minimal rates) resumption of colonization, and provision of grain at less than market rates to...
