Court upholds Arizona's Law.. and Planned Parenthood stops abortions at 7 clinics
Interesting that a 2, full disclosure on all options and risks, a 24 hour waiting period, parental notification and a requirement that actual doctors perform the abortions would cause PP to stop performing them. Nothing unreasonable here but it seems they can't work under these conditions. Ghouls.

Unions Resorting to Attempting Murder?
Via Big Government, a story about a non-union business owner who had been harassed and vandalized by unions for years. Now he's been shot and the word "SCAB" was painted on his car. Gee, who uses that kind of language? Who has been getting increasingly violent in their rhetoric and actions? Could it be.... unions?

Today's Union Ugliness
Today it is not all from Wisconsin. Unions continue to show the ugliness that they are full of. Threats of violence, harassment, vandalism.. all part of the tricks of the trade for them. These people will stop at nothing to gain and retain power.
Union Tactics Against Verizon
And in New Jersey....
They need to be told not to throw poop... really.
Why do these people (and I use that term loosely at this point) need to be told by a judge not to throw feces? This is discourse? Also included in the injunction... nails, glass, spikes.... this is not how we are supposed to operate. At this point, its not just public sector unions that are the problem. This is ugly. They want a class war. I have noted on this blog before that labor unions and communists are extremely closely connected. Unions must be stopped!
Great commentary here.
Time to end collective bargaining.

Man Stops Child Abduction
Neighbor Saves Girl
We need more people like this. We know what happens when children are abducted by strangers. He saved her and her family untold amounts of pain and suffering, and most likely her life. What a brave man. We should all be so willing to step up and do the right thing. God bless you!

Really, Mental Health Profession, Really?
Can't say I'm surprised by this, with the way the world is going, but I am disturbed, disgusted, and frightened for the future of our children. It was only a matter of time before it came to this. The DSM (diagnostic manual for mental health disorders) is being revised and there is a group of mental health professionals and pedophile sympathizers that want pedophilia removed as a disorder. Really? There is nothing wrong with raping and terrorizing children? As someone who has worked in the mental health field for years, I can testify to the damage these animals do; lasting damage. I will never accept pedophilia as some normal sexual lifestyle. It is evil and those that are behind this are evil.

Abortionists and Unions-Hellish Union
A Planned Parenthood in Oregon has voted to unionize through the SEIU. Are you kidding me? Murderers and thugs joining forces.... greedy ghouls, all of them. A worker states she loves providing care to women and families. The cognitive dissonance is maddening. Abortion is not "women's health care".

10 Things I hate about....
These last few days have put me in the mood for a good rant..... so here goes. 10 things that drive me crazy....................
1. Snotty college liberal pinheads who know nothing about anything except what their professors tell them pretending they are smarter than everyone else.
2. Union-bots who can't think for themselves and just repeat talking points and call names instead of discussing or debating an issue.
3. The fact that most liberals are the MOST intolerant people on the planet... they are all about superficial tolerance, like skin color, but get out of their political worldview lockstep and see how tolerant they are.
4. The fact that these "tolerant" and "inclusive" liberals are the first people to throw out racial, ethnic, and gay slurs when someone of a "minority" group steps off the liberal plantation. I rarely hear that sort of thing from my conservative friends or even on conservative the blogs for that matter. If any trolls start making slurs or threats, they are generally dealt with harshly. Go look on Daily Kos or Huffington Post and see if the left does the same....
5. Girls who dress and act slutty, give it away to anyone,,, and then complain they can't find a good man to settle down. Young girls don't realize they have much more power if they don't put out but they all have to be on the same page.... nice girls have an awfully rough time in this society.
6. Militant atheists. Ok, if you don't want to believe in God, fine... but why do you have to be so obnoxious about it? They complain about prostelytizing, but are among the worst offenders.
7. That Ghandi quote about liking Christ but not liking Christians. Ghandi was not such a great guy if you look past the media portrayal. His non-violence went so far as to simply submit to evil. He encouraged the Brits and the Jews to willingly submit to the Nazis... yeah, he's a peach. His extreme form of nonviolence would have allowed Hitler to take over the world. I'm all for solving things peacefully but sometimes you just have to kill the bad guys.
8. People who like to generalize about Christians and constantly wait for a Christian to stumble or fail in some way, so they can go "see, those Christians are hypocrites" while ignoring the daily murder and mayhem perpetrated by muslims.
9. People who refuse to take a moral stand on anything and those who never call out the liberals and atheists out on their crap, leaving some of us to be the jerks who actually confront them. The evil of this world is made possible by the sanction good men give it. Not that we should go around fighting and arguing all the time, but seriously, sometimes someone just needs to say, "you know, that's not quite right". Sometimes if feels like that person is always me.
10. The entitlement mentality. It is why the unions and other goons here in the Badger State won't just shut up and go away. They keep trying to enforce their will on the rest of the population because they think they are entitled to something. Same with the rioters in London... they think they are entitled to take what they want and do what they want, regardless of who they hurt. Same with the punks in Milwaukee.... the list goes on and on. The entitlement mentality is what is bringing this country to its knees.
Sooo.... yeah. That's what is on my mind today. Maybe I'll feel better in the morning.

The London Riots-Before and After
I've never been to England, although I've always wanted to go. A friend of mine returned from a trip to the UK just a few days before this madness started. These photos made me incredibly sad... ..sad for the loss of life, sad for the losses to the home and business owners, sad for the loss of history in some of those buildings, but mostly sad for the loss of our souls, because that is what led to this destruction. The loss of our souls that comes from relying on the government to give us things that they forcibly take from others. The moochers vs. the producers.
Here is a link the before and after photos of some areas of London... very, very sad.

Liberal/socialist policies led to this. Remember that,

For the record, I believe Islam is not a true religion, it is a tyrannical, oppressive political ideology disguised as a religion. Do the research for yourself. It is an ugly, satanic religion founded by a pedophile who married a 6 year old and consummated that marriage when she turned 9. Disgusting. Islam allows lying, cheating, murdering, and oppressing women in the name of allah. There is no freedom in Islam, the penalty for leaving the faith is death. True freedom lies in Christianity, where there is no compulsion. God gives us a choice. We do not save ourselves by blind obedience but we are saved through faith and the love of God. Christians who do harmful or hateful things are shunned by the rest, whereas in Islam, terrorists and murderers are celebrated and held up as martyrs. They are not condemned by mainstream muslims, for the most part.
Think about how often Christians and our God are made fun of, ridiculed, criticized, and mocked in popular culture and entertainment. People do that freely because they do not fear being murdered over it. Contrast that to islam.... think about Comedy Central not showing the depiction of muhammed on South Parkout of fear, ask Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilder, Theo Van Gogh (oops, you can't, they killed him), or the cartoonists in Denmark (these are just a few examples) about the repercussions of criticizing islam. There is no comparison between Christianity and islam and anyone who tries is intellectually dishonest, lying, uninformed, or any combination of those.

Individual Mandate Unconstitutional...
Gee, ya think??? I can't believe the court was actually divided on this. Of course, I can't believe that this monstrosity passed in the first place or that they are only striking down the individual mandate, not the whole darn thing. Sigh....... The democrats and RINOs have been wiping their behinds with the Constitution for years now. I see no sign of it stopping. We are headed the way of Greece and Spain and the UK. We are witnessing what appears to be the fall of the entire western civilization and they are giving bread and circuses.. or maybe government cheese and sex scandals, food stamps and Hollywood??
It's even more maddening how many people don't see it, can't understand that this current system of spending and handouts is not "sustainable" (to use one of their favorite words) and counterproductive. We've produced generations of people who've never worked an honest day's work but are ungrateful for the freebies that they get and demand ever more from "the rich" who keep the economy moving.

The London Riots-The end result of liberalism.
Lots of people have written about this the last 4 days. This is one of the best ones I've seen; brutal in its honesty. Why can't some people understand that they are the cause of this problem, and many others. Eliminating things like civic pride, personal responsibility, respect for others, and most importantly, faith, will always lead to chaos and destruction. These kids are not lacking "self esteem", they are lacking esteem for other people and their country.

What years of liberal dogma has done

Wisconsin Has Spoken
Great commentary written by Chris from Racine. Couldn't have said it better myself. Go read it for yourself. As for me, I'll just say.. "Unions, democrats, and leftist special interests, just GO AWAY!"
Wisconsin Has Spoken
I can see 2012 from my house!
From HotAir:
Unions go 0 for 2 in Wisconsin
No, I’m not talking about last night’s tally of recall districts, which went Republican 4-2. That narrowly denied unions in Wisconsin (and let’s not kid ourselves, nationwide) the ultimate victory they needed — a change in control of the state Senate that would have produced gridlock for at least the next several months. In the end, they could only capture the Senate seat from a strong Democratic district and another from a scandal-plagued Republican, and neither one of those impressively.
And from Ann Althouse:
It was just one state senate seat that made the difference. The Republicans got it. Should they exult and make their version of the extreme statements the Democrats would be making right now if Fred Clark had managed to scramble over the top in District 14? (If only he hadn't quipped that he'd like to smack that lady around, or if her answering machine hadn't caught it, this country would be a completely different place today, now, wouldn't it?)
But the Republicans will probably go with graciousness, won't they? Why do they do that? Some attitude of restraint inherent in conservatism? Fear of Democrats chiding them about civility, coming together, and compromise? It's good not to gloat, but I just want to point out: The Democrats would have gloated. Am I wrong?

If the Democrats had won 1 more seat in yesterday's recalls, what expansive assertions would we be hearing today?
Imagine if they'd gotten their majority. What gloating and grandiose claims would gush forth? They'd be merciless. The recall elections were a referendum on Walker! A referendum on the Tea Party! A victory for Obama and for taxing the pants off the rich! Especially the Koch Brothers!It was just one state senate seat that made the difference. The Republicans got it.

Riots in Britain
Here are a few must-reads about the riots in London. RIOTS, not protests. These people are destroying their neighborhoods, their city, their country. How sad. This is the end result of years of socialist/progressive government. It never ends well. We could be facing the same thing here soon. The difference here will be 2 things: the Second Amendment and the independent American spirit. We still have some of that. Years of handouts and mollycoddling in Britain have ruined them. We are not quite as far down that path but it is where we are headed if things don't change.
As I said, MUST READS:

What the Left Wing Really Thinks of our Troops
Here is a link to Right Wings News who has a story about comments on the blog Huffington Post. Comments regarding our military. These people are truly despicable.
Here's an example:
marathon43
They got exactly what they deserved. They voluntarily traveled half-way around the world to kill people who had never done them any harm. They people they were trying to kill killed them first. That’s exactly how things should be. Let’s also remember that our troops have weapons far superior to anything possessed by the people they are trying to kill. Our troops are picking on someone who can’t fight back. That’s called bullying and cowardice. They got what bullies deserve.
They are beneath contempt and there are many other comments just like it. There are no words.
We support the troops???

Tea Party Hobbits. What's wrong with that?
So, there has been all this controversy about John McCain (frigging RINO) reading a portion of an editorial referring to Tea Party members as "hobbits' and some conservatives are upset about this. I say, let's run with it. So what if they are trying to use the word hobbit as an insult? . Why let them create the narrative. Let's turn it back on them. True fans of the series know that being a hobbit is a grand thing
Here's why: Hobbits are generally a simple, peaceful folk, who value family and community. They are self reliant. They enjoy the simple,but good things in life. They would prefer to be left alone to live their lives without interference and don't really want to interfere with others either. Nothing wrong with that so far.
Who are the ultimate heroes of the Lord of the Rings anyway? Who goes the final distance into Mordor to dispose of the ring? Who willingly takes up the cause and goes through the danger to do the right thing, despite the forces and odds being stacked against them? Despite being alone and outnumbered? Who shows more resilience and ability to resist the evil of the ring? HOBBITS! Sam and Frodo. 2 of the most unlikely heroes ever written. Out of all the characters in the books, Tea Party people probably do have more in common with hobbits than anyone else. Sure, the elves are more glamorous, and the men of Gondor more battle ready, but the hobbits get the job done and go back to their lives without a fuss.
So I say, let's embrace the whole hobbit thing and let the democrats continue to be the orcs and goblins that they've always been. We know who wins in the end. As someone has already posted out there on the web, John McCain makes an excellent Gollum.

Warning from the UK
Read this commentary. It is right on target (oops! Is that "violent rhetoric?").
Best quote: "Contrary to what the Obama Democrats claimed, the face-off in Congress did not mean that the nation’s politics were “dysfunctional”. The politics of the US were functioning precisely as the Founding Fathers intended: the legislature was acting as a check on the power of the executive."
We need to face the truth.

The elections start tomorrow and it is important to get out and vote Republican if you are in an affected district. If the democrats regain power, the unions will get their way again, And that means less money in your pocket and no accountability. Remember, Walker's budget is actually working!

Be ready to carry wheelbarrows full of money to buy a loaf of bread. Without true capital behind it, paper money means nothing! And this man ran the Federal Reserve!

Racial Violence in the Midwest
I remember reading about the racially motivated attacks in Peoria in June and being disturbed. I am absolutely haunted by what happened in Milwaukee this week. Numerous accounts of black youths attacking whites on their way out of the state fair show some very disturbing scenes, although some of the media is downplaying or completely ignoring the racial component, despite the fact that these types of attacks are becoming increasingly common. Chicago has had troubles recently as well.
What haunts me are the accounts of a 14-15 year old white boy who was severely beaten and left by the side of the road, while numerous witnesses sat in their cars. One man, an Iraq veteran, was convinced not to leave the car by his wife. Another woman raced to help the boy but was convinced to return to the car by her husband. The boy was eventually thrown into the ditch like trash. This breaks my heart. I think of my son and my nephews at that age, one who is still only 16. I think of them being beaten while bystanders do nothing. The fear and pain and wondering "why me?" How alone and terrified this boy must have been and wondering if help was going to come. I think of his mother getting the call from the hospital and it breaks my heart. What has happened to us? I understand the fear of being hurt or killed yourself that holds you back from helping and I can't say that I would do any different in that situation. It's easy to lay blame when you weren't there. And THAT is what haunts me. I'd like to think I would be different, but would I? And how could I ever face myself again, knowing I left that boy alone?

John 15:13
New International Version (NIV)
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Beautiful words, but how many of us are really willing to do that, especially for a stranger? I have seen no updates on the condition of this boy but I hope and pray that he will be ok. We need to start being honest about racial violence on both ends, not just when a minority is the victim. In this case, this young boy was the minority, was he not? I fear this is only the beginning.
Mobs at the Wisconsin State Fair
Dozens of Black Youths Attack Fair goers
Horror at the Wisconsin State Fair
There were similar incidents the 4th of July and one in May and, as I mentioned, Chicago and Peoria have had many similar attacks. I don't want a race war. I don't care what color or race anyone is. I judge on behavior.
I will leave you with 2 words: CONCEALED CARRY. OK, maybe more than 2. It has been argued that places like the fair would likely restrict guns, but much of this happened outside and people could have them in their cars. I am reconsidering a decision for a revolver for a concealed carry gun, I'm thinking a semi-auto with extra magazines is the way to go........
Beautiful words, but how many of us are really willing to do that, especially for a stranger? I have seen no updates on the condition of this boy but I hope and pray that he will be ok. We need to start being honest about racial violence on both ends, not just when a minority is the victim. In this case, this young boy was the minority, was he not? I fear this is only the beginning.

Dozens of Black Youths Attack Fair goers
Horror at the Wisconsin State Fair
There were similar incidents the 4th of July and one in May and, as I mentioned, Chicago and Peoria have had many similar attacks. I don't want a race war. I don't care what color or race anyone is. I judge on behavior.

Horrendous
31 American Troops Killed in Action
According to the AP (via the Blaze): A helicopter crash in Afghanistan’s eastern Wardak province killed 31 U.S. special operation troops and seven Afghan soldiers, the country’s president said Saturday. It was the highest number of American casualties recorded in a single incident in the decade-long war.
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace. Amen.

Once again, stay classy, unions...
I hadn't heard too much about union protests lately, thought they may have calmed down. Then I saw this video form the McIver Institue.... holy self-absorption, Batman!!! They interfered with a Special Olympics event earlier this year, now they protest outside a company that is all about hiring the developmentally disabled? One of their spokespersons said "it's about us". Seriously? They continue to show their true colors and it is ugly. They cannot regain a foothold!!
This looks powerful..
So, I've been gone for a while, maybe a little burned out on politics and bad news... but am back with some intense stuff. Here is a movie trailer for something that is causing quite a stir. Looks very intriguing.... see Big Hollywood for more.
Andrew Klavan does it again....
He's getting to be a regular here, along with Bill Whittle. Watch and learn...
