Friday Fume

Posted on by

Thank GOD I have a pressure valve.

All week long, every week, the pressure builds but, at the END of the week, the safety measure kicks in.

Liberals just keep doing what liberals do and I just keep tracking their idiotic efforts. Before you know it…It’s Friday and I start…

Fuming.

From the…”JUST HOW SURPRISED SHOULD YOU BE” department, we find ourselves in Ehrhardt, South Carolina. It seems, ever year about this time, on the outskirts of Ehrhardt…near Broxton Bridge Plantation…there is a pigeon shoot.

Broxton Bridge Plantation IS privately owned and the 2nd Amendment DOES give folks the right to own guns and pigeon hunting is NOT illegal so…anyway…

SOME GROUP OF LIBERAL PIGEON HUGGERS shows up to PROTEST and they call themselves…SHowing Animals Respect and Kindness…

Yep…

SHARK…okay…here’s where it gets…well, you’ll see…

Give Iran Exactly What They’re Asking For

Posted on by

It’s time to connect the dots in regard to Iran – and since Obama refuses to do it, we will.

Obama’s podium puppet, Jay Carney stated that, “There is time and space for diplomacy to work, for the effective sanctions to result in a change of Iranian behavior, an agreement by Iran to live up to its obligations, to engage in negotiations to resolve this matter peacefully.”

Bull.

Someone needs to explain to this Alice in Wonderland administration that we have no diplomatic relations with Iran. In fact, we haven’t had diplomatic relations with Iran since 1980 and we have had a trade embargo against them since 1995.

Really? There is time and space for diplomacy to work? We’re talking about Iran here. The only way diplomacy works is if both parties involved have an interest in diplomacy; and guess what? Iran doesn’t.

Iran decided diplomacy with the United States was finished in 1979 as they took 52 Members of our Embassy in Tehran hostage and held them for 444 days – and here’s a little something else the great pretender needs to get a grip on…Those hostages were NOT released via diplomacy or because their behavior changed as a result of sanctions.

The Price of Gas is Causing Heartburn

Posted on by

Let’s talk about the price of gas, shall we? I mean, why not? Everybody ELSE is.

It’s going up.

There are many reasons for this.

Circumstances in the Middle East, Iran embargoing oil to Europe and England have oil speculators…speculating and whenever they do THAT…The price of a barrel goes UP. The prospect of war between Israel and Iran is also fueling higher oil prices.

The price ALWAYS goes up in the summer month because of the differing blends mandated by the EPA. Those blends can also vary from state to state but in FEBRUARY??? Gas prices have NEVER been this high in FEBRUARY which means, by the time it’s time for the summer blends, the price will go even HIGHER.

Of course, as the price of gas climbs, so too will the prices of everything else.

Socks? Price is gonna go up. Food? Up, up, up. Auto parts? Yep…Up. You name it and the price is going to rise because of gas prices. Everything you buy has to get from where it’s made to where you buy it and if the cost of transporting your Chinese manufactured socks is going up, so is the price of the socks.

There is a great deal of focus, right now, on the nixed Keystone XL Pipeline.

Israeli Action vs Obama’s Inaction

Posted on by

Not since Jimmy Carter was in office has an American administration so lacked the political will to engage either our enemies or the enemies of our allies.

With the clock ticking between Israel and Iran, Obama seems much more inclined to try and stop any Israeli action than to force Iran into compliance.

Yes, Obama is enacting sanctions – but sanctions don’t work against such an ideology as Iran’s. If sanctions, even strict sanctions, have any effect at all, it isn’t noticeable for years; and rarely, if ever, even after years of implementation, do sanctions have the desired effect.

Anyone who believe sanctions will keep Iran from developing nuclear weapons would also be apt to believe in rainbow farting unicorns.

In reality, the sanctions pave the way for Iran to “claim” a desire to talk at which point they will make ransom demands for halting their nuclear weapons program while continuing their nuclear weapons program.

National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon, just ended several days of talks IN Israel. Along with Netanyahu, Donilon also had talks with Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Chief of the General Staff Benny Gantz, and National Security Adviser Gen. Yaakov Amidror.

With Iran ramping up THEIR efforts to develop nuclear weapons and with their near non-stop calls for Israel to be eliminated, sanctions in play against Iran, Iran stating they will cease oil shipments to France, Iranian agents trying to kill Israel diplomats in various countries, Iran’s threats to bring THEIR form of terror attacks to OUR nation, a plot regarding the Iranian assassination of Saudi diplomats on OUR soil uncovered last year…

We WERE Exceptional…50 Years Ago Today…

Posted on by

American Exceptionalism is exactly what it sounds like – or, at least, it used to be.

American. Exceptional. It is, or was, the act of being American and doing exceptional things. It seems odd, that on Presidents’ Day, when we should be celebrating those Presidents who exemplified the very spirit of American Exceptionalism, we instead can be directly reminded of it’s decline.

It’s the date. Today’s date. February 20th, 2012, which directly calls into question the exceptionalism which used to be ours but sadly, is now in steep decline.

Why IS today’s date SO important to this discussion?

50 years ago today, American Exceptionalism was on full display. We did something THAT day we can’t do today and it was a matter of technology, bravery, spirit and sheer force of will.

The bravery is still there, spirit too. What we are sorely lacking today is the will and the technology.

Desperate Obama Goes to War on Religion

Posted on by

Mention a war on Christmas or a war on religion to a liberal and they will dismiss you. They’ll laugh and call you names. Liberals will tell you that you’re crazy and other things too.

They will. You know it, I know it and THEY know it.

Here’s something else we all know too.

There’s a war against religion being waged in this country and leading that war, are liberals and this administration.

Every Christmas, we go through it. No manger scenes in parks, no Christmas carols in schools or post offices. Christmas trees and Christmas programs become “Winter” trees and programs.

The war on Christmas is just a skirmish and one which was meant to start the process.

Now, liberals are starting to feel the pressure. They’re getting desperate. Their grip on power is starting to erode.

We know that and they know it too.

The midterm election of 2010 was a warning shot over their bow. It scared them. They thought THEY had it in the bag and THEY got a shellacking. They weren’t ready for it. They never saw it coming.

Now, as we head into the 2012 election, they, the liberal/socialists and their leader, Obama, are feeling the pressure and they’re ramping up the war. Way up.

Remember when Obamacare had to be passed to find out what was in it?

Turns out, one of the things in it was a mandate that religious organizations purchase Obamacare with coverage for abortions, contraception, morning-after pills and sterilizations.

Friday FUME

Posted on by

Oh my goodness…it can’t be Friday already can it?

Yep…and just like we do every Friday, we ‘re about to look back at the week that was.

Friends…Patriots…

It’s FRIDAY and…

I’m fuming!!

2 weeks ago, right here in the FUME, I told you about the FDA and how they have labeled DIAMOND WALNUTS as DRUGS!!!

Well…

Now the FDA has some MORE news for you…

YOUR OWN BODY IS A DRUG AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REGULATE IT!!!

“Stem cells, like other medical products that are intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease, generally require FDA approval before they can be marketed. At this time, there are no licensed stem cell treatments.”

Court documents have been filed BY THE FDA which state:

1)      Stem cells are drugs and therefore fall within their jurisdiction.

2)      The clinic is engaging in interstate commerce and is therefore subject to FDA regulation because any part of the machine or procedure that originates outside Colorado becomes interstate commerce once it enters the state. Moreover, interstate commerce is substantially affected because individuals traveling to Colorado to have the Regenexx procedure would depress the market for out-of-state drugs that are approved by FDA.”

This is all because of a clinic in Colorado that does stem cell treatments to ease joint pain.

THE FDA COULDN’T BRING THEMSELVES TO STOP AT WALNUTS NOW THEY HAVE TO TRY AND REGULATE…YOU!!! IT’S INSANE!!!!!

Senator’s Aid Goes After Blogger Stacy Swimp?

Posted on by

We All know that liberals running for office in 2012 will do anything to advance their cause. They’re desperate and attacking their opponents with anything, is going to be par for the course.

A week or so ago, an ad by Senatorial Candidate Pete Hoekstra was deemed “Racist” by liberals because it featured an Asian actress, speaking in somewhat broken English, regarding our national debt and Stabenow’s reckless spending.

Naturally, liberals called it “racist” as they had no way of combating the ad with facts, merit or by pointing out any Obama policy which could prove it false.

To that end, conservative blogger and activist, Stacy M. Swimp, penned an article calling out liberals for once again, playing the race card where it doesn’t apply. He was right to do so.

Apparently, Swimp hit a nerve.

So…You Want More Media Coverage of Military Deaths?

Posted on by

After yesterday’s article, “Of Soldiers and Celebrities” and watching continued complaining in social media outlets regarding the over coverage of Whitney Houston vs the lack of coverage regarding our fallen military heroes, I went to Facebook and posed a question.

“With all the anger being exhibited over the coverage of Whitney Houston’s death vs the losses suffered by our military…How do YOU think the media SHOULD cover those who wear the uniform and lose their lives?”

The responses were interesting, eye opening and varied.

“My personal feelings are there should be a list compiled daily of the previous day’s casualties and deaths and published with headlines in a font so big you’d have to be blind to miss it.”

“Daily continued emergency updates every time a soldier falls. Just like amber alerts breaking into regular schedules and let America know when a soldier is gone. Followed by the pledge of allegiance. Explaining the cause and injuries of each incident. Not a quick comment on the news .”

“Tell us once, and don’t cram it down our throats. If Whitney had NOT been a famous singer, NO ONE would have given a care except for her family. I for one am SICK of the Whitney coverage. The ONLY person that has said something that matters in her death, was Piers Morgan when he asked about why her “so-called friends” that night didn’t stop her from drinking. Pierce is ABSOLUTELY CORRECT…… If you are someone with a drug and alcohol problem, you have to remove yourself from those things. Starting to party in L.A. one week before the Grammy’s was trouble waiting to happen. And I for one, don’t care about it anymore. It’s done, it’s over….. MOVE ON! She was just another druggie, and if it wasn’t for her fame NO ONE WOULD CARE !!”

I can understand and appreciate the call for more coverage of our fallen heroes. ANY coverage would be more than exists now – but to those who are calling for it, and angry over the lack of it, a warning should be issued:

Of Soldiers and Celebrities

Posted on by

Over the last several days, since the death of Whitney Houston, I have noticed a rather disturbing trend in social media.

Many conservatives, and among them my friends, have been posting photos and names of soldiers who have recently died and scolding those who have posted thoughts regarding Whitney Houston.

Really?

I get it, to a point. I do.

A celebrity dies vs soldiers who die. I get it.

Unexpected death? Tragic end? I get it.

There is a difference and it’s not about giving one more credit than the other.

Houston’s death was expected. Unfortunately it WAS expected and people have speculated for nearly a decade, that her end, due to a lifestyle which laid waste to common sense, was near. Houston had messed up her life, and like so many other celebrities, she had people around her who simply didn’t care enough to stop her, or try to stop her.

Yes, she made her decisions and in so doing, she lost the voice, the looks and the talent God gave her.

I get it.

I felt exactly that way when Amy Winehouse died last year. It was her fault and she could well have done something to keep it from happening.

What I didn’t do then and won’t do now, is compare her demise with those who have lost their lives protecting our country, our freedoms and our way of life.

No.
