Tell Government to BUTT OUT of the Internet

Some websites will go dark today in protest of SOPA.

SOPA is a bill working its way through Congress which could lead to censorship of the internet regardless of its original intent.

The intent is to put a stop to piracy of content. Movies, music, entertainment in general has been a prime target for online piracy. Foreign countries have, for years, been grabbing this stuff and selling it overseas thus robbing American artists and industries of profits.

I think we can all agree that those products should be protected-  but SOPA, according to its critics, goes way too far.

The problem is in the language of the bill. “Search Engines” is a VERY broad term and one that is prominent in the SOPA bill.

We could go into great and confusing detail over the legal language and the possible meanings of it – and other sites have done that – but there is something much more basic which should be said.

With this bill, SOPA, and it’s somewhat less intrusive Senate Bill, PIPA, the internet would become, either in small or large part, regulated by Congress.

That should not be allowed to happen.

The EPA is Fining Companies for WHAT???

I WAS going to save this for this week’s Friday Fume but, I’ve been doing a slow BURN on it all day. THIS has got to stop.

SERIOUSLY…This is absolute liberal idiocy in action.

The EPA…Yeah, that BASTION of greenie weenies… is now nuttier than a squirrel turd.

YES…I SAID TURD…and I meant it.

The EPA is levying fines against oil companies that have FAILED to include a certain additive to their fuels.

That additive is called…cellulosic biofuel.

There isn’t an oil company or fuel maker who HAS included the stuff.

BECAUSE IT DOESN’T EXIST!!!!!

That right friends…there IS no cellulosic biofuel.

It’s SUPPOSED to be made from wood chips and left over plant parts which are inedible like corn cobs and lima beans the latter of which I have never been able to keep down.

What Obama DOESN’T Want You to Know About “Hopey Changey”

Can we give it a rest? Can we just give it a rest?

I’m talking about the nonsense put forth by so many reports that Obama has now kicked off his 2012 campaign. Every day, after an Obama speech, someone claims that Obama has kicked off his campaign.

Bull.

Obama kicked off his 2012 campaign the day he took office back in 2009 so can we please give the “He just kicked off his campaign” stuff a rest?

That’s one of the biggest problems with this administration…That they have never, for a single minute, been OUT of campaign mode. Rather than seeing to the business of the country, rather than seeing to the business of the people, Obama has spent his entire term engaged in the business of Obama.

Hey liberals…How’s that hopey changey crap working out for you?

The Federal Government and King George

This article is an exploration on many of the charges listed in the Declaration of Independence against King George and how they apply to the Federal Government.  I had been thinking of this for quite some time, as had many others before me apparently.  There are a few decent articles written on this subject on the internet, from which I have gained some inspiration.  I purposefully tried to eliminate the idea that our current “President” has committed the same offenses and rather decided that the behemoth of our Federal Government is at fault.

The reason it is at fault can be summed up in the Declaration of Independence.  The condition of American society with regard to the power the Federal Government has on all of us shows “that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”  This is just as true today as it was over 200 years ago.  It is not just the fault of the President, but of the government as a whole.  The checks and balances system is broken, and few have the moral compass to keep the nation pointed in the right direction even if it means they will not see another term.  We have become accustomed to Federal involvement in our daily lives.  Whereas the Constitution used to provide the guidepost to which all politicians used to face, it is now carved up, interpreted and reinterpreted to justify any and all actions against liberty.

With that, I give you the following charges against King George, and the actions of the Federal Government that mirror the justification of those charges (not inclusive of all charges, just the ones I could justify):

Friday Fume

So, friends…We’ve reached the end of another week.

I am reaching the conclusion that liberals, each and every day, make a list of things to do. On one side of the list is common sense approaches to the issues of the day. One the other, how to approach said issues in the most moronic way possible.

In order to exhibit such consistently idiotic behavior, pre-planning MUST be necessary.

I can assure you of two things:

The moronic approach is on the left side of the list and…

Today is Friday so…I’m fuming!

Okay…REALLY???

With the “Occupy Anything Except a Shower” crowd dwindling…mostly due to cold weather and arrests…reportedly, there is ONE liberal FOOL who is still VERY much at it but one has to wonder…WHY???

Steinar Skramstad is a 32-year-old IDIOT who has made his mission, and his ALONE to…

OCCUPY ANTARCTICA!!!

This…PENGUIN’S ARSE…is holding his protest outside HIS PARENTS’ HOUSE.

Another Liberal Mecca, Another Disaster

Yesterday, in the Friday Fume, I went off on the SEIU for forcing unionization on the Michigan parents of 2 children in their 30’s who deal with cerebral palsy. The SEIU is taking union dues from their children’s Medicaid checks and calling those parents “Home Care Givers” and forcing them into the union. It’s thuggery at best and downright theft at worst.

It’s shameful any way you care to look at it.

This apparently isn’t the only problem stemming from greed raising its ugly head in Michigan – and guess what folks, it ain’t the greedy Republicans at the bottom of the Michigan barrel.

Let’s take a hard look at Wayne County, Michigan, shall we.

In Wayne County, Democratic county executive, Bob Ficano has been spending money like a drunken navy. Lots of money. Continue reading

In What America do YOU Believe?

Has the fool on the hill finally seen the light? Has Obama started to come around to OUR side? It certainly seems like it if you listen to the words he is now employing on his latest campaign swing.

“If you get sick, you’re on your own. If you can’t afford college, you’re on your own. If you don’t like that some corporation is polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you’re on your own.”

Sounds a lot like…Self Reliance to me.

Here’s the code.

Obama = Big Government.

On your own = Self Reliance

Are You Prepared?

Ok folks, round two from the Shadow Patriot!

I am here to talk some seriousness now.  I am going to talk preparedness.  No, not the kind where you ring your house in sandbags, dig a moat and import alligators, though if you DO do that, please send me a photo!  I am not talking about the post -apocalyptic zombie preparedness either, but if you go to those lengths you are DEFINITELY prepared.  No, I am talking about preparing at least enough to weather the storm that may be coming.

What storm am I talking about?  Well, any storm.  And not just a really bad rainstorm either.  I am talking about a storm of economic proportions.  And I am not even convinced that it will get that bad, but I fear it will.  And to protect against an economic storm, I am doing a few things.

***Note:  Any products mentioned in this article are strictly for example.  I am not endorsing any particular website or business.  I am also not affiliated with those businesses.

Obama, Solyndra and the Spastic Monkey Approach to Lying

As the Solyndra scandal hit the news a couple of weeks ago, the Obama administration obviously knew that they were in trouble. With Obama’s polling figures sinking already, the economy in the tank, the first downgrade in our nation’s history having just been handed down, unemployment still high and for the first time in decades, a month in which not a single new job had been created, Obama could not afford a hit like Solyndra.

Obama, his administration and liberals in general have, once again, resorted to a worn out strategy.

Blame Bush.

Government + Liberal + Program = Failure

Liberals LOVE to harp on and on endlessly about the separation of church and state – but when the church is THEIR brand of religion, separation be DAMNED and FULL STEAM AHEAD!

Liberals bow to the altar of global warming and believe their messiah can walk on Brita filtered water without leaving a carbon footprint. What’s more, they want us ALL to become obedient little green disciples and worship the great and mighty Oz Gore.

Liberals have for years been attempting to bully nonbelievers into the green jobs crowd and have, at least to some extent, been weirdly successful. We can no longer buy good old regular light bulbs. Thanks to the greenie weenies, we have to buy…CFL bulbs. GREAT JOB liberals. Break one and you have to call the HAZMAT team and what if you toss one into a land fill? They’re full of mercury and they are all made in China!
