Ideology vs Faith – The War on Christmas

The war on Christmas is now in full swing…again.

Godless vermin at the “Freedom From Religion” gateway to hell, located in Madison Wisconsin, are at it…again.

Somehow, they manage to find one, unnamed, source to file a complaint in any town where there is some sort of Christmas tradition.

Alsip Illinois, for 40 years, had erected a cross atop their water tower. It has, over the years, become a tradition and nobody complained…

Up to now…

Suddenly, an UNNAMED source has filed a complaint to the Freedom FROM Religion weasels and THEY, claiming that they try always to fight their war through education or legislation…NOT litigation…

Filed a lawsuit.

Alsip, like many towns, is not raking in the money and rather than get involved in a lengthy and expensive lawsuit, will NOT put their cross on the water tower this year.

You see, the municipality owns the water tower and these freaks in Madison are citing the separation of church and state clause which simply does not exist in the constitution.

Here is what the Constitution DOES say about religion:

Weekend Edition: The Emperor and the Pharaoh

So much for the Arab Spring.

Those of us who are, by liberal/socialists definition, blind to reality, saw it coming.

With apologies to the Bard…

Now is the winter of their discontent made glorious summer by this sun of Cairo.

Has Hillary Clinton been made a fool of again? I rather doubt it. Hillary Clinton’s most trusted and consistently visible adviser is Huma Abedin. The two are joined at the hip. Abedin is, to put it bluntly, the Muslim Brotherhood’s “diplomatic” arm or OUR State Department.

A boil on the buttocks of diplomacy between the United States and our allies.

Abedin’s ties to the Muslim Brotherhood go much deeper than ideology. They are familiar ties and deeply rooted.

It is inconceivable to me that Abedin knew nothing of the planned power grab by Egypt’s Morsi and therefore, inconceivable that Clinton didn’t know.

We knew this would happen years ago.

Our Emperor, Obama, gave the Muslim Brotherhood the VIP treatment when he started his World Condemnation of America Tour back in 2009. Obama spoke in Cairo, the Brotherhood sat up front and, at the end of the speech, in Arabic, Obama said he was one of them.

With Cairo’s Tahrir Square filled with angry protesters, our Emperor said that Mubarak had to go.

Then, said the Emperor, the Muslim Brotherhood deserved a seat at the table in the formation of a NEW Egyptian government.

The Muslim Brotherhood claimed they would NOT seek the presidency…

I Was GOBSMACKED!!!

It was back in 1998.

We were in Lincoln Nebraska and I was in radio doing 2 live shows a day.

Our morning show was a free-wheeling top 40 show and great fun to be a part of.

It was the day after Thanksgiving and, as always, we got the show off with a newscast, some music and settled in.

That’s when my on-air partner, Jerry Balletta asked the seemingly simple question.

He look at me and at Kala and Liz, our co-hosts and asked:

“How was everybody’s Thanksgiving?”

We never talked before the show and never discussed topics or ideas. We always wanted things to be fresh. Spontaneous. No rehearsals, nothing planned in advance.

So, it was a simple question. Almost rhetorical. “How was everybody’s Thanksgiving?”

A Patriot’s First Thanksgiving

As We prepare for Thanksgiving, the travel, family, friends and a feast, too many individual traditions are there to mention. Some may volunteer to serve those who through circumstances are homeless while others may take time to visit retirement communities.

Some will remember our troops in various ways and I hope we all take a moment to thank them for all they do to maintain our freedoms.

There will be laughter, prayers, football, food and stories told tomorrow.

Some will, no doubt, speak of the first Thanksgiving, the Pilgrims, the Indians, their hardships and how they came together.

I would, this year, like to take you back to a Thanksgiving long ago which most never think of on this holiday.

Before Thanksgiving WAS an official holiday it was still celebrated. Perhaps now as we celebrate it today but, indeed it did hold meaning.

The Thanksgiving of which I hope you will remember is that of 1776.

A newly declared independent nation was at war.

Thanksgiving was no longer thought of as a Puritan or holiday of religion although the thanking of God was a certain factor. In 1776, it was a holiday for Patriots.

Traveling to the home of relatives was generally not done unless of course, those relatives lived in your community. Distance was one thing and naturally, by carriage or horseback, such travel would have been quite time consuming.

Nobody Died From the Use of White Out

Good grief.

Now Congress is going to hold hearings, being people in and question them regarding talking points.

Congress?

WRONGRESS!!!

Rather than try and find out who changed the talking points that went from Petraeus to who-knows-who and back to Petraeus where, apparently he didn’t recognize his own memo…

How about we try to learn what actually LED to the need for those talking points to begin with before we delve into “Who put the bomp In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp???”

Instead of going full on to discover who used white out and removed “Terrorists” to be replaced with “”grumpy film critics” why aren’t we going balls to the walls to find out the following???

Why were all the requests for added security in Benghazi denied and who exactly denied those requests?

Why was security DOWNSIZED in Benghazi and who made THAT call???

Why, after 234 terrorist attacks in Libya over 16 months, 48 in Benghazi, 2 on our Consulate, 2 attempts on the life of the British Ambassador and both the British and the Red Cross pulling OUT of Benghazi was it deemed unnecessary, despite the repeated pleas for more security even by Ambassador Stevens himself, to ramp up security as the anniversary of 9-11 approached???

Who exactly was watching in real time, on 9-11-12, in the State Dept. and in the White House and possible in the Pentagon as the attacks took place???

WHO ISSUED THE ORDERS TO STAND DOWN???

Weekend Edition: Israel’s Defensible Position

As rockets fly, launched from Gaza into Israel, at Tel Aviv, at Jerusalem and elsewhere, the near future seems clear and I will Stand With Israel.

Israel will soon be at full on war with Hamas.

I don’t quite know where to start.

Perhaps with Egypt.

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood president is condemning Israel for their offensive.

Offensive?

Yes, for that is exactly how those bent on the destruction of Israel view Israel defending itself. An offensive.

Rockets, hundreds and hundreds of them, launched by Hama from Gaza and raining death and destruction from the shy in Israel has drawn the response OF Israel and for putting up a defense, for firing into Gaza as a response, Islamists deem Israel as being on the offensive.

It’s Absurd Squared.

Israel has every right to defend itself and its people against such deadly aggression and frankly, their ability to contain themselves to the extent they have is astounding to me.

Israel is also being condemned by the corrupt United Nations. This, naturally, comes as no surprise.

Also joining the anti-Israel chorus, and disgustingly so, are Obama’s voters. This too should come as no surprise as Obama’s foreign policy, as we have outlined on countless occasions, is designed to embolden our enemies and the enemies of our allies. Namely, Israel.

Yesterday, Kim Kardashian tweeted support FOR Israel and immediately, her throngs of liberal/socialist tweeps descended upon her like a pack of wolves. They wished HER dead. Wished the destruction of Israel and leveled at her, vile names and comments.

Within 5 minutes, the woman famous for being famous removed her tweet, having no intestinal fortitude for standing with Israel.

Such is the life of the rich and vapid.

The Redneck Guide to Survivin’ the Opocalypse

Well, we’re dun fer after the Obama Zombies stole the election. The next few years are gonna get real tough. Are you prepared for the upcoming Opocalypse?

Rednecks tend to keep prepared for disasters of all kinds – floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and thievin’ politicians! So this ain’t nuthin new to us – but there are still some good folks out there who can’t see the inevitable: things are goin’ to hell in a handbasket!

For the city-slicker types, I recommend watching some good movies like Zombieland. There are many lessons to be learned on survival.

  • Ya need weapons and an arsenal to keep you and yours safe. A few crossbows won’t hurt neither – they is quiet and not easily detected, drawing a little less fuss from yer neighbors.
  • Stockpile Twinkies! Now that Hostess is fed up with ObamaCare and unions, they are closing down their bakeries. And let’s face, Twinkies only have a suggested shelf life. Any redneck will tell you that don’t go bad!
  • Git into shape! Cardio is the key according to the movie. It don’t hurt none to keep strong for choppin’ wood neither (or anything else that needs choppin’) – or hauling water from the creek – or carrying yer kin outta danger!
  • Git you a fishin’ pole and learn how to fish and catch crawdads! You may have to provide yer own food fer a spell, and you best know how cuz you ain’t gonna have time to figger it out if yer hungry for some vittles.
  • Grow a garden and learn to preserve food. Wal-Mart might seem like an endless supply of vittles, Mountain Dew, and pork rinds – but once the power goes, it’ll be emptied out in no time!

Now, pay attention here…This next batch o’ stuff’s ‘portant…

Papa John’s and the Whiny Weasels of Socialism

A word of warning to the Whiny Weasels of Socialism.

Be careful what you vote for…You may just get it and WHEN you get exactly that for which you voted…DON’T START WHINING ABOUT IT!!!

9 days ago, socialists voted for the Emperor and now, they’re starting to realize the fruits of their labors.

Layoffs.

Lots of them.

Socialists now want to boycott Papa John’s and Applebees because they are cutting work hours of their employees. They say such a move is…Un-American.

Really?

Socialists think something is Un-American???
Let me explain this in a way that anyone with a working brain cell can understand it.

Let’s use Papa John’s as our example.

Here is a company which started when somebody decided there was a better way to make pizza. Fresh instead of frozen ingredients, a great sauce a great crust and a great price.

A classic AMERICAN idea.

It grew because people who like pizza liked the complete Papa John’s recipe.

It grew and grew. People wanted to own their OWN Papa Johns and franchises were sold.

Very American.

After the expenses, ingredients, building and real estate costs, insurance, equipment, EMPLOYEES, taxes etc…The typical franchisee had…HAD a profit margin of around 10%.

Now, because of increased regulations, hikes in the minimum wage, rising insurance costs and the clamping down on business loans, higher costs due to rising gas prices for delivery of goods and delivery of pizzas…Over the last 4 years…The average franchisee NOW has a profit margin of…2%.

Along comes Obamacare.

Hello??? Benghazi? Treason?? FOCUS!!!

During WWII, WE called it “Chaff”…The Brits called it “Window” and the German Luftwaffe referred to it as “Duppel.”

What was it?

It was pieces of aluminum dropped from aircraft to confuse radar.

Today’s military uses flares to confuse missiles fired at our aircraft and ECM to confuse radar.

It all adds up to one thing.

Shiny objects.

Shiny objects are distractions and meant to keep our eyes OFF the real story and this administration wants us to chase the shiny objects.

The REAL story is Benghazi.

David Petraeus…Shiny object.

Paula Broadwell…Shinier object.

The You Tube video…Former shiny object now dull

The election…Shiny object.

Hurricane Sandy…Shiny object.

Now we have NEW shiny objects…

General John Allen and Jill Kelley!!!

Jill Kelley is some sort of government social liaison who knows the Petraeus family and had something to do with alerting the FBI to the relationship between David Petraeus and Paula Broadwell.

NOW we learn that there are between 20,000 and 30,000 “inappropriate” emails floating out there between…

Jill Kelley and…General John Allen who leads our military in Afghanistan!!!

It’s sexy.

It’s salacious.

It’s intriguing.

It involves espionage, the head of the CIA, an FBI investigation, suppressed knowledge of those at the highest levels of government including Holder and Obama, a link to a General in command of forces at war…emails…careers…

Ummmm…The REAL story…

Weekend Edition: Petraeus – A 4 Star Scapegoat

General David Petraeus, head of the CIA, resigned last week.

His resignation was sudden and it was…

Convenient.

Just days AFTER the election and just days BEFORE he was scheduled to testify before congress regarding the terrorist attack in Benghazi…General David Petraeus resigns.

Why?

Because of an extramarital affair? An affair uncovered by the FBI due to emails sent between Petraeus and his biographer with whom he was involved?

Those emails were sent, back and forth from Petraeus to Paula Broadwell, the “other” woman on his personal Gmail account. NOT his official CIA email which would lead one to believe that anyone attempting to hack his email would have ended up seeing ONLY personal messages and NOTHING to do with the closely held secrets the head of the CIA would be privy to.

Naturally, an affair opens someone such as Petraeus to blackmail but, that’s ONLY if someone such as Petraeus wants to keep the affair a deep dark secret and is willing to do ANYTHING to maintain that secrecy.

Petraeus, obviously, was NOT about to do that. In fact, by revealing the affair and “walking” away from his distinguished career, he proves he’s not willing to protect his private life over the security of the nation or the people he directs.

It seems that the FBI investigation uncovered this affair MONTHS ago. And if there was some concern over his ability to keep state secrets this all would have come to an end…MONTHS ago.

Also, by law, if the FBI comes to the knowledge of something that rises to the level of a threat to national security, they must inform the white house and the Senate Intelligence Committee immediately.

They did NOT.

Supposedly, James Clapper, the National Intelligence Director didn’t know anything about this until election day. Obama supposedly didn’t know about it until election day and…Diane Feinstein, head of the Senate Intell Committee didn’t find out until it hit the press last week!!!

So…Why NOW?
