"The reason the U.S. left (yes, this includes many Republicans) worships Islam and aligns themselves with them is because they share parallel ideologies. 

 

The left, if allowed to do so, will reduce the entire middle class to proletariat status with exactly the same rights that Castro has afforded the common man in Cuba, NONE. 

 

To the leftist elite, the common man is no more than a farm animal to be used by the state and killed if he fails to toe the state line or is of no use to the collective. 

 

Given the hundreds of millions of working class people murdered by the left's Socialist ancestors, you'd think that people would realize that Socialist dictators like Barack Obama are simply a bad idea. 

 

Those like Boehner and McConnel who offer blind unquestioning support to Obama are every bit as evil as Obama."

1984 Is So Here

This seems impossible, but it is on "The Atlantic" website....unless it's a pretty neat hoax.

Apparently, it is now a CRIME to unlock your smartphone (the one you bought....your property), so that you can use it with any carrier you want.

Now, does that seem a bit draconian?

Ya think?

Has this been updated? Revised? Revoked?

How is this possible?

UPDATE:  Another Source.

Un-Fucking-believable.

I just made it under the wire - NOT A FELON! Yipee!

I bought my smartphone through T-Mobile, the worst of all possible carriers. I worked with them from the beginning to actually get signal to my house. When it proved impossible, the "grace period" for cancelling my contract had barely passed, and they refused to let me out of it without demanding a termination fee. 

THE FACT THAT I ONLY WANTED TO CANCEL BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE DESIGNATED IN THE CONTRACT TO WHICH THEY ALSO WERE A PARTY....didn't matter to them. They had me on timing, regardless of the fact that they had never fulfilled their part of the contract: TO PROVIDE ME WITH SERVICE at my residence.

They also refused to give me the unlock code for the smartphone I had, which was tied to their network.

So. T-Mobile could not provide service. Yet, would not allow me to cancel the contract without penalties, and insisted on making my smartphone useless to me.

They're REAL ASSHOLES.

Happily, I purchased my phone before the effective date of this freedom-crushing law, and was able to purchase an unlock code from a third party and now have a functioning smartphone on another network, that actually provides service. 

AT&T. They should get credit for good service and good signal. Even as T-Mobile should be cast into the sea and forgotten by history.

Except as an example of how NOT to run a company.

So, anyway, given my experience...this fucked up law would have made my VERY EXPENSIVE phone nothing more than a doorstop. Would have forced me to buy another VERY EXPENSIVE phone in order to get the service I originally contracted for with T-Mobile...but never got.

So the government is now in league with T-Mobile to fuck the next sucker out of service, signal, termination fee, and phone.

Nice.

Goodbye, sweet America.

How did is come to this?

SECOND UPDATE:

Isn't there an opportunity here? Start a company that sells unlocked phones directly to consumers...with the guarantee that they can take them anywhere, to any carrier, to any network at any time.

I like it. If you make it happen before I do, great. More competition, the lower the prices go.

Let's get on that!

Bedtime Stories

As a child, I loved the simple stories of heroes and villains.

When I grew up, I found that life was rarely that cut & dried. Shades of grey do exist in the adult's world, and it's rarely as exhilarating as those precious bedtimes when the hero boldly vanquished the unequivocal monster.

But...wonder of wonders, it appears that in our lifetime we are to be treated to fantasy become reality.

It's getting harder to deny anymore...even as my adult, grownup brain wants to disdain the idea—actual evil seems to be afoot in the world, and its guise is becoming ever more clear.

See if you agree.

"Contained within his secularism is a totalitarian seed, which will grow and grow until nothing is a 'private' matter. As the hapless executives at the Komen Foundation recently learned--after committing the thought crime of withholding private donations from abortionists--no one is free to leave Obama's Animal Farm."

Welcome to My Home Town

As much as it saddens me that San Francisco has become the model, it's important to see the model for what it is....something actually worse that merely socialist nanny-statism.

"San Francisco: America's homegrown anarchic totalitarianism"

"...there is nothing benign about American Leftism, and that it is even more dangerous than the nanny state some people seem willing to accept as the price of living in the modern world.  Because American leftists are as committed to elevating the rights of the criminals, the crazies and the perverts as they are to taxing, quashing and directing the middle and working classes, we can anticipate the worst of all possible worlds:  an America in which ordinary people live under totalitarian control and socialist taxation, while the worst elements in every society are allowed to run rampant.

Keep this in mind as you head to the polling place in 2010."

Excuse me if I suggest that you don't just "head to the polls" in November. Get involved today to make sure we get good people...and head off this looming disaster.

Why do I keep hearing in my head the Jefferson Airplane tune (or were they the "Starship" by then?):

Britain Doesn't Have a Chance

Boobery is rampant in the UK....where "sustainable development commissioner" Professor Tim Lang has decided that the government should decide what and how much people should eat, determine what food is permissible to make and sell, and what foods will simply no longer be available to people who want it.

Because he's decided what's better for others....and, of course, the planet.

Who are these reeking ghouls that feed off the misery of their victims; who are never so happy as when they are forcing deprivation and misery on others?

I tried to pick out a exemplar paragraph, but the entire thing is so egregious, so fascist, so blithely unaware of the complete totalitarianism being proposed, and so little understanding of nutrition...that it was just too hard to single out a bit.

Just read the whole thing and see what we can expect to hear from our own Marxist Vampires soon.

We're So Screwed!

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) has agreed to relent on his demand for Senate clerks to read aloud the 2,074-page bill and allow the chamber to take a critical test vote, said the aide. Reading the bill on the Senate floor was estimated to take as many as 30 hours or longer, raising the possibility of the Senate staying in session into next week.

This is why Republicans cannot be counted on.

Awwwww.....everybody wants to go home for the week, so let's not make it uncomfortable for them to pass a bill that will destroy America.

Such a thoughtful guy.

Love your priorities.

If we - the opposition - including Republicans - don't start using a scorched earth strategy, the Marxists are going to take over this country. Why does the "collegiate country club" mentality keep rearing its pale, gormless face among the people charged with defending our country from the Barbarians in the White House and Congress?

Is it conceivable that they "unaware of the caliber of disaster" that will befall the United States if this "Health Care" (Government-Takeover-by-Marxist-Oligarchy) goes through?

They will control food, technology, guns, travel, energy, business, entertainment, leisure, hobbies, sports.....through HEALTH CARE.

Oh....they won't BAN anything - That would be Unconstitutional!

They'll just require you to pay exorbitant premiums for legally required—under threat of imprisonment—health care insurance if you own certain things, do certain things, use certain things, eat certain things,

Welcome to their brave new World!

Are you going to give up your guns so your sick child can be covered by Medical Insurance? Are you going to refuse to buy government mandated insurance for your stay at home, home-schooling wife....so that she is without the "government required—under threat of imprisonment"—medical insurance?

This is what the Democrats have wrought. This is what the Democrat/Progressive Fascists want. Total control over your life...by whatever means necessary.

And they're doing a pretty damn good job of getting it.

And Republicans are too polite to keep people in D.C. for a few extra days.

Wow....killer tactics on our side there.

"Police say his hands were tied behind his back and his body was riddled with bullets."

"There is no indication that his death is connected to the coup that brought his uncle to power at the end of June."

Government Bans a Game

Did you know your tax dollars funded their efforts?

Robert Bowie Johnson, Jr. tells the story

In 1980, as young businessmen frustrated with government rules and taxes, my partner and I produced and marketed a board game called "Public Assistance: Why Bother Working for a Living?" We intended the game as a parody of government liberalism, with a special focus on the able-bodied loaferism, welfare fraud, and social chaos its domestic policies promote. Threatened by the game's popularity, embarrassed liberals successfully implemented a nationwide government plan to "remove the game from the marketplace."

And this seems important too, the author, Mr. Johnson, is a West Point graduate and an airborne ranger infantry veteran of Viet Nam.

What a dastardly fellow. A threat to the American Order....

He is the author of "The Parthenon Code: Mankind's History in Marble" and "Noah in Ancient Greek Art." His Web sites are welfaregame.com and solvinglight.com

I'm so glad the Liberal Fascists are around to "protect" us from the likes of him.

The Leftist BBC Finally Admits: NO Global Warming

What Happened to Global Warming?

Right there on the front page of "Science and Environment" of the BBC web page. While our gummint morons are working hard to pass "Cap & Trade" to destroy our economy and quality of life in the name of a "emergency" that doesn't exist.

But that of course, is their M.O. If there isn't a "crisis", invent one, and then snatch as much power as possible...on their march to Fascism.

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.

But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

And our climate models did not forecast it, even though man-made carbon dioxide, the gas thought to be responsible for warming our planet, has continued to rise.

So what on Earth is going on?

Climate change sceptics, who passionately and consistently argue that man's influence on our climate is overstated, say they saw it coming.

Well. Duh.

Gummint "protects" Consumers...Again

Star Parker busts the "defenders" as the "oppressors".

Before they're done, nothing at all will be left - especially for "the poor" whom they so love to exploit to increase their own political power.

The most important product in our country is freedom and, unfortunately, it’s this product that President Obama and House financial services chairman Rep. Barney Frank, D-MA, find most defective.

Neighbor in Trouble for Watching Kids

Okay, what Liberal wants to step up and tell me we live in a free country? Who wants to pretend this is acceptable on any level? Who dares to suggest that the Imperial State is not suffocating our Liberty? Who still agrees we ought to let it grow even more like Øbama and his Vampires, Løøters and Zømbies want?

Who still thinks a great big government that will "take care of us" is a good idea?

IRVING TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Each day before the school bus comes to pick up the neighborhood's children, Lisa Snyder did a favor for three of her fellow moms, welcoming their children into her home for about an hour before they left for school.

Regulators who oversee child care, however, don't see it as charity. Days after the start of the new school year, Snyder received a letter from the Michigan Department of Human Services warning her that if she continued, she'd be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers.

That's so bad I can hardly take it in....but it gets worse. The governor instantly requested the Director of "Human SERVICES" (one of those Progressive/State/Orwellian names that means the opposite of what it says..."Services" meaning "Control") to intervene.

And the Director, Mr. Ahmed, being the compassionate and reasonable State Apparatchik that he is, agreed thusly:

On Tuesday, agency Director Ismael Ahmed said good neighbors should be allowed to help each other ensure their children are safe.

Should be ALLOWED???

How nice for us and lucky for Lisa Snyder that the STATE is willing to give its PERMISSION for us to watch our neighbors' kids.

I'm sure she's grateful for its kind benevolence. I know I am.

It's hard to believe, but apparently, the Democrats' Senate Cap and Trade bill is worse than the House's.

Leaders of a Major Party are working hard to destroy American enterprise, economy and prosperity and by extension, American freedom. And lecturing us as they do it.

The Liberal members of the "greatest deliberative body" in the world are behaving like community organizers, grabbing power and money at the expense of the people they are supposed to be "helping".

The "mind" of a Borg Drone

This is instructive. This is the sort of mindset that is befouling our nation.

It was actually written on this blog. By a swaggerer strutting with pretensions to wisdom. I can't imagine a more perfectly or baldly stated Progressive agenda.

Please note especially his reference to "make-believe ancient Freedoms"

"...who wants to regulate a modern electronic, global network according to the notions of Eighteenth Century white men?

Who not in la-la land of make believe, ancient Freedoms, wants to regulate a modern industrial or post industrial society according to the non-existent notions of centuries old men about realities not even imaginable in their time?"

He simply can't wrap his mind around the idea that we don't want government to regulate society....according to anyone's "notions" ancient or modern.

A Borg Drone cannot imagine a creature who doesn't want the Collective to regulate everything.

Welcome to Progressivism.

Why so "Liberal"?

This is lovely:

We keep letting the totalitarian define the words.

Stop calling the totalitarians “liberals”.

Today’s totalitarians in America are a complex mix of ideological leftovers of history (anti-Western racism, populism, marxism in its poor soviet interpretation which is even more miserable than “true” marxism, Third-World-ism of the post-WW II times, jacobinism, dirigisme of the Lenin- Stalin -Mao style, thuggery of the Pol-Pot style, unionism of the Twenties, trendy leftism of the “caviar-left” of Western Europe, elitism, intellectualism with nihilistic roots)…and probably more…

ALL, but not “liberals”.
