We WERE Exceptional…50 Years Ago Today…

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

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

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?

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?

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

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.

The TRUTH Shall Set Us Free

The great and mighty, all knowing above the law and beyond religion Emperor needs a “Truth Team.” Dear Leader and his minions have announced 3 websites where his version of the truth can be spread. To understand how this works, one must first define the liberal/socialist “truth.”

Truth (trooth) Noun

1)      A lie told often enough. 2) A lie told loudly, often over the top of someone elses vocalizations. 3) A lie spread by means of like-thinking media outlets. 4) Disinformation believed by those with access to facts to be grossly incorrect. 5) Whatever the Liberal/Socialist Emperor says it is.

The Emperor’s “AttackWatch.com was the first of the 3 to be brought online. That site is dedicated to a “big brother” sort of approach. On “AttackWatch.com” the Emperor’s supporters can turn in their neighbors, various websites, billboards, media reports, advertisements and the like which dare to utter, publish, print or broadcast anything against the Emperor’s ideology or, gasp, against the Emperor himself.

“AttackWatch.com” has been in effect for several months and has been constantly bombarded by conservatives turning themselves in. The National Patriot did just that on the very first day “Attack Watch” went live.

“Keeping GOP Honest.com” is the second of the 3 sites which provides a means by which liberal/socialists can provide damaging information, fact or rumor or just flat out myth, regarding the Emperor’s rivals.

The Emperor’s Latest Decree

When you’re the Emperor, everything either is, or is not, what you say it is or isn’t. You and you alone get to decide what laws will and won’t be defended. You get to ignore court subpoenas. YOU get to decide when Congress is or isn’t in session. The Constitution is something which YOU can ignore and religious organizations with THEIR doctrines and beliefs?

Well, YOU, as the Emperor, get to decide that such things are submissive to YOUR reign.

Why on Earth would the military be any different?

The Emperor was able to declare the end of hostilities in Iraq after all. NOT that hostilities were ACTUALLY over but, the Emperor, upon his coronation, DID promise the serfs that HE would bring those troops home.

Many believe the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq was purely a political move.

Nope.

It was OVER and WE WON the peace SO SAYETH THE EMPEROR SO LET IT BE KNOWN AS TRUE. Never mind the increase in violence, IED bombings and the pesky fact that Iranian agitators are stepping up THEIR attacks in Iraq.

The Emperor said we secured the peace and hostilities had ended.

Now, with “Talks” in the offing with the TALIBAN in Afghanistan, the Emperor looking to release 5 Taliban terror masterminds from Gitmo AS A SHOW OF GOOD FAITH, and the continued killing and wounding of our troops in that theater…

Friday Fume

It never ends does it? Day in and day out, week by week, liberal/socialists just keep doing what they do and adding fuel to the fire.

It’s not like I have to go looking for this stuff either. The problem is editing it down.

I could go on and on, but for the sake of what’s left of MY sanity and YOURS, I just save it all for the end of the week.

Patriots…It’s Friday

And I’m fuming.

Somewhere, in a home which uses 20 times the annual amount of energy as the average home, Al Gore is sobbing.

A REPORT JUST CAME OUT THAT SAYS THE HIGH GLACIERS OF THE HIMALAYAS ARE NOT MELTING!!!

They were supposed to be ALL GONE by the year 2035.

THE U.N. (United Nincompoops) CLIMATE SCIENTISTS TOLD US THOSE GLACIERS WERE GONNA MELT AWAY AND THE OCEANS WERE GONNA SWALLOW US ALL…errrr…wait, what? They’re NOT melting? Yeah but some of the lower glaciers HAVE melted and WE’RE ALL DOOMED…DOOMED I TELL YA DOOOOOMED!!!

Huh? The oceans have only risen HOW much? ½ an inch…from 2003 to 2010?

RUN…RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!

Right now, SNAILS are outrunning the tsunami.

Here’s the down and dirty on global warming climate change or whatever we’re calling it this week:

IT’S THE SUN that causes it…whatever IT is and MONEY that causes “scientists” to tell us that WE’RE causing it!!!

Good grief.

Fuming.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!

L.A. County rectal thermometer receptacles have issued NEW and MORE RELAXED rules for beach goers.

THE ALL OUT BAN ON FOOTBALL AND FRISBEE TOSSING HAVE BEEN…ALMOST LIFTED!!!

Now, you can toss a football OR Frisbee, with the PERMISSION OF THE LIFEGUARD!!!!

Of course, if you engages in non-permissioned tossing, your 1st offense results in a $100 fine. The 2nd offense will cost ya $200 and a 3RD OFFENSE IN A GIVEN YEAR WILL SUCK $500 OUT OF YOUR WALLET!!!

It seems the REAL criminals on the beach however ARE THE KIDS WITH PLASTIC SHOVELS AND PAILS!!!

THE NEW ORDINANCE FROM THE WALKING ORIFICES STATES THAT UNLESS YOU ARE A TV OR FILM CREW, AND YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED PERMISSION…IT IS ILLEGAL TO DIG A HOLE ON THE SAND MORE THAN 18 INCHES DEEP!!!

Really?

So….The  Bay Watch Babes are gonna be running in slow motion to the nearest tot with a bucket and MEASURE THE DEPTH OF THE DEATH TRAP?????

I GUESS THEY HAVE all THEIR LITTLE PROBLEMS solved IN L.A. now so they can FINALLY turn their attention to the SCOURGE OF HAVING FUN AT THE BEACH!!!

Maybe once they get the Frisbee throwers and hole diggers under control, THEY CAN START CRACKING DOWN ON BEACH BLANKETS SAND BEING SMUGGLED OUT IN BODY CREVASSES!!!!!

I’m fuming.

Hmmmm…apparently, Californians take their lack of common sense with them when they travel.

Last weekend, two women from the Republic of California were KIDNAPPED while taking a tour in EGYPT by a pair of Bedouins CARRYING GUNS!!!

Their captors drove them around for a few hours trying to gain leverage to get some family members released for Egyptian prisons before they let them go.

THE WOMEN SAID THEIR KIDNAPPERS WERE KIND, GRACIOUS, GAVE THEM DRIED FRUIT AND…TREATED THEM LIKE FAMILY!!!

Ummm…ladies…THEY KIDNAPPED YOU IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY WHERE THEY DON’T REALLY LIKE AMERICANS!!!

Look, I don’t know about YOU but…I’M wondering exactly what THEIR FAMILIES ARE LIKE!!!

“They reassured us, they are just continuing our tour in the mountains,” one of the women claimed, “I said, ‘Yes, what a beautiful scene.’”

One of the women, a devout Christian, said she began talking to the men about God and faith while their Egyptian tour guide, WHO WENT ALONG WITH THEM…TRANSLATED!!!

Oh, well, that explains why they let them go…

THEY MUST HAVE KIDNAPPED A COUPLE OF JEHOVAH’S WITNESSES!!!!!!

Right now, there are 2 guys wearing bed sheets, and table clothes for hats, sitting in the shade of a camel next to their Kalashnikov rifles…heads in their hands thinking…DAMN THAT WAS ANNOYING!!!

And somewhere in California are two absolute IDIOTS telling people at the retirement home… “WE’RE ORGANIZING A BOAT TRIP TO SOMALIA…WHO WANTS TO COME ALONG???”

FUMING!!

Finally, last week, Emperor Obama proved he’s ABOVE THE LAW by not having even his ATTORNEY show up in court to offer a single IOTA of evidence and he STILL WON THE GEORGIA CASE but…

NOW HE THINKS HE’S ABOVE…GOD!!!

Yep…THE ALMIGHTY OBAMA is now insisting that religious entities like CHURCHES, HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS…PROVIDE ABORTION, BIRTH CONTROL AND STERILIZATION INSURANCE THROUGH OBAMACARE!!!

Oh…never mind that pesky Constitution which provides FREEDOM OF RELIGION…OBAMA KNOWS BETTER THAN GOD!!!

I don’t know if anybody but me has noticed but…Catholics, just judging by the size of their families…DON’T REALLY HOLD WITH CONTRACEPTION!!!

It’s a basic tenant of their religious practices.

Try to put up a manger scene in a park and LIBERALS come all unhinged.

Try to put a 10 Commandments display in a courthouse…OH HELL NO according to liberals.

FORCE RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE SOMETHING DIRECTLY AGAINST THEIR VERY BELIEFS???

No problem…perfectly acceptable to THE ALL KNOWING, ALL SEEING, LIBERAL DEITY!!!

IF THIS PUTZ HAD IT HIS WAY…EVERY OTHER BEAD ON A ROSARY WOULD BE A MORNING AFTER PILL!!!!

This is all part of a 2,000-plus-page bill WE HAD TO PASS BEFORE WE COULD FIND OUT WHAT’S IN IT, and the more we find out what’s IN it…THE MORE IT SUCKS!!!

Next month, Obamacare goes to the United States Supreme Court.

MAKES ONE WONDER IF THE ALMIGHTY OBAMA WILL EVEN HAVE AN ATTORNEY SHOW UP, DOESN’T IT???

This guy has handed out 1,231 WAIVERS TO COMPANIES GETTING THEM OUT OF THE OBAMACARE MANDATES!!!

MOST OF THOSE WENT TO FRIENDS OF THE OVAL OFFICE DEITY!!!

But a religious entity…asking for a waiver…NOPE…AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN…NO WAY…NO HOW!!!

WHAT IN THE HELL COUNTRY ARE WE LIVING IN????

So…maybe you’re not Catholic and you’re wondering why this is so important. Well, I’ll tell you why.

UNDER SOCIALISM, THE GOVERNMENT TAKES CONTROL OF THE MEDICAL FIELD, REDISTRIBUTES “WEALTH,” CONTROLS EDUCATION AND RELIGION IS CONSIDERED THE “OPIUM OF THE MASSES!!!”

AS SUCH, RELIGION IS EITHER STRICTLY CONTROLLED OR BANNED ALTOGETHER!!!

This LIBERAL/SOCIALIST WHO HAS PLACED HIMSELF ABOVE THE LAW, ABOVE THE CONSTITUTION AND NOW…ABOVE RELIGION is NOT going to stop with CATHOLICS!!!

GIVE HIM AN INCH AND HE WON’T STOP UNTIL REFORMED DRUIDS ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO PRAY IN FRONT OF SHRUBS!!!!!

While we’re still allowed to do so…WE NEED TO PRAY THAT THE SUPREME COURT WILL FIND THE INDIVIDUAL MANDATE IN OBAMACARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!!!

Oh yes my friends, it’s Friday and…

I AM FUMING!!!!!
