Is it just me?
I had a dream last night. In this dream, I woke up for work like a do every morning but this day was different than the others. As I got in my car and proceeded to make my way to the high way, I noticed that there was no other traffic, no parked cars no lights on in any other houses. The city was abandoned. There were no signs of life anywhere…I was the last person on Earth! At first, this gave me an uneasy feeling but as I pressed on, coursing through the vacant streets, I began to enjoy my new found loneliness on the city streets! But then, just as I headed for a nice open stretch of high way, some freaking asshole pulled right out in front of me and I had to drive 35 mph for the rest of my dream! So goes the saying, “If I were the last person on Earth, some asshole would still pull out in front of me!”
It’s true and never seems to fail! It’s not that I am even in a hurry or anything, it’s just the fact that these simple humans can’t bear to wait 5 seconds for a car to pass…oh no, they just have to pull out first and be in front. Even though they fully intend on driving 15 miles below the posted speed limit. People, if you want to drive like a dumb ass…please let the normal people go first! The other day, some douche bag in a ugly ass SUV painted some color that no one in their right mind would even consider buying, pulled out in front of me and proceeded to drive between 30 and 50 mph the whole way to work. Notice I said BETWEEN 30 and 50? That’s because he would speed up then slow down…constantly! Then it gets even better! He would cross the yellow line every time a car was coming in the opposite direction! I really thought I had a front row seat for a disastrous crash that was going to happen at any second! Somehow, this guy made it to the high way without a major head on crash luckily he turned the opposite direction from where i was heading. As we parted ways, he car behind me decides that he has had enough and passes me on the 4 lane highway. He had all 4 cylinders screaming out a horrible exhaust note that was amplified by the 5 inch diameter exhaust pipe that he had cleverly hung from the back of his Honda. Hat on backwards, teeth gritted together, crouched over the wheel like he was driving a crotch rocket…he managed to just barely pass me before whipping the car back into my lane forcing me to tap my brakes! Obviously, I have had enough of this joker and pulled into the hammer lane and proceeded to introduce him to 200 hp from a real 4 cylinder engine! I proudly single finger saluted him as I cruised on by, but I doubt he even saw it as he was fumbling with his stereo or something.
Hey you Jagoff!!
Point is, what the fuck is wrong with people? These are only two examples of some of the shit I see daily. A few years ago, I had a guy cut me off at a red light. He apparently got tired of waiting and decided to come up the shoulder and make the same right turn that I was about to do after I yielded to traffic turning from the opposite lane. Well, he speeds around me, almost t-bones a car from the opposite lane. I fall in behind him and express my displeasure of his dick move with a nice serving of high beams. As we approach a speed of40 mph, he decides a brake check is in order and all but stops right in the middle of the road! Not a good idea as he was driving a small import of some type and I was right on his bumper in a 7000 pound 1984 Suburban! If I wasn’t already expecting this dumb ass to brake check me, I would have probably drove right over him killing everyone inside the car! I seriously get the feeling that these dick bag drivers actually think they are good drivers! They have no idea that they are in the wrong. That is what is really scary. We are sharing the world with scores of dip shits that don’t deserve to pilot a vehicle over the open roads. They are the probably the same people that abuse animals and look at kiddie porn on the internet! Only a sick mutha fucker would look at an oncoming car and feel the urge to pull right out in front of it!
Oh, and while I am on a fucking rant…what is the big deal with using turn signals? It’s a simple, little lever on the side of your steering column! All you have to do is lift it up or press down on it to indicate which direction you would like to turn! It’s not like donating a fucking kidney or something! You don’t have to buy the guy behind you dinner or anything! It’s just a simple fucking courtesy! Oh…courtesy. That’s what this is all about. Most people on the roads have no courtesy in their entire piece of shit bodies. “Fuck the other guy!” That is what goes through their minds as they disobey one traffic law after another just to get a leg up on the other driver. Hey, I can appreciate that you are in a hurry or whatever, but you don’t have to drive like an asshole! My internet nickname is Rocketfoot so I’m sure you can imagine that I like to engage in some spirited driving at times. I have even been known to partake in a red light brawl from time to time. But I drive safely and I am courteous to other drivers. If you are cruising down the road, I am going to wait until you pass before I pull the fuck out! If I do decided to catch up and pass you on a safe stretch, I’d appreciate if you don’t take it personally and try and speed up as I go by! And
Put the shit down and DRIVE!
the next time you are trying to text on your cell phone, eat a Big Mac or finger banging your old lady through her pretty pink panties while behind the wheel, just remember that you are probably the asshole I am talking about that is swerving all over the road, speeding up, slowing down, not using your blinkers and generally just driving like a fucking retard! Do yourself (and all the rest of us normal drivers) a big favor and pull over. Get out of your car and throw your keys as far as you can! You do not deserve to drive a vehicle. Driving is a privilege, not a right so I’d rather see you ride a bicycle rather than pilot a 3000 pound gasoline powered projectile. You are the reason that our insurance is out of this world and you are also the number one reason that innocent people are killed or injured at the hands of stupid drivers all over the world. And by the way, the next time you drive like a dick and then try to confront me for being pissed off about it…just remember that I always have a loaded .45 caliber handgun within reach! Maybe if we were allowed to shoot stupid fucking people in this country, just maybe everyone would be a little more courteous to each other! Drive LIKE A MOFO…I’ll be watching! And I know it’s not just me!
Zombies…What is all the hype about?
Unless you live under a rock, you have probably noticed the uprising in zombie related occurrences lately. No, I’m not talking about the actual dead rising from their graves and feeding on human flesh or even the hordes of Obama Zombies that still think he is doing a good job…I’m talking about the zombie mythology going mainstream. In addition to the usual zombie mentions around Halloween, there has been a lot more popularity this year. Respected ammunition manufacturer, Hornady, has released it’s new Zombie Max Ammo line with unprecedented zombie take down power. Guns & Ammo Magazine has started the Zombie Nation blog where they are posting important information about zombies to help you survive the impending zombie apocalypse. Even mainstream mail order catalog companies like Brownell’s have started websites selling zombie hunting and survival merchandise!
Zombie Max Ammo
To go even further, there have been several shows on the TV about Zombies. The most notable was on the History Channel just before Halloween. It was called ‘Zombies: A Living History’ and it was actually a pretty good documentary on the history of Zombies, both in real life and in mythology. The 2 hour show also went on to describe how an actual zombie apocalypse could happen and how close we are to it actually happening! Science may have already invented viruses that can bring on zombie like symptoms. The show also mentioned several natural viruses that can be considered zombie like plagues if they ever came to infect humans. Some of these natural born killers are Mad Cow Disease and the infectious Prion Disease. Both viruses could start a chain reaction of zombie like behavior if ever released into the human population!
Scary stuff. Many consider a zombie outbreak to be unthinkable, but the notoriety has even been discussed in the highest levels of our government, including a new promotion by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta. The CDC came up with a program to help bring situational awareness and survival to Americans by capitalizing on this new uprising in zombie popularity. The CDC states what most zombie websites and forums have been saying for years…if you are prepared for the zombie apocalypse, you will be prepared for any type of survival situation. Natural disasters, civil up rise, economic collapse…nothing is worse that the undead walking the earth looking for a fresh meal at your expense! You can read more about Zombie Preparedness 101 on the CDC’s official blog here: CDC Blog
With all this zombie popularity, there is also a lot of haters that are going to be hating! I’ve seen a lot of folks criticize the above mentioned sources for their playing into the zombie mythology. Some say that they are wasting money and resources on these promotions and others say that they are lowering their standards by advertising products with a comic book approach. Personally, I say BULLSHIT! One of the best ways to advertise a product or to promote your word is to use popular fads. Although the zombie mythology has been around since the late 60′s this current popularity spike is a fad. It has been building ever since 9/11 2001. Half of all zombie related movies and books have been produced since the attacks on 9/11. That really says a lot about why people embrace the zombie mythology. It is a way of expressing fear and outrage against a fictional enemy. With current events getting more and more discouraging, fighting hordes of the undead actually seems appealing. I have nothing but admiration for these companies stepping up and embracing zombie popularity, even if it is to make money. Hey, this society is based on companies selling shit to us! So, quit complaining and get out there and buy something!
Several years ago, I started something that is bigger than I even knew when I created the a simple logo for the Pennsylvania Zombie Response Team! In the
Pennsylvania Zombie Response Team
past several years, the logo spawned into a forum called PAZRT.com that now has well over 1,000 members. The forum also hosts a Facebook group of the same name that has over 10,000 fans! That’s pretty impressive for a local website focused on the zombie mythology. Why, you ask? I think it is because Pennsylvania is ground zero for the entire zombie genre. George Romero started everything with a little low budget film shot in Western PA called Night of the Living Dead. That was released in 1968 and zombie popularity has been growing ever since. PA has been refereed to the front lines in the battle against the undead. So it is only natural that PAZRT.com has become so popular and I am certain that it will continue to grow in popularity. We currently have members from all over Pennsylvania as well as National and International chapters. I’m willing to bet that Mr. Romero himself is a member of the either the forum or the Facebook page!
My advice to all those that find this new found zombie popularity ridiculous or stupid? Get down of your high horse and live a little! Zombies are here to stay and if everything goes right, they will continue to be just mythology. If things go south and the government releases zombie toxins into the water supply by accident (or on purpose…) then we will have a common ground to ban together and help protect the human race LIKE A MOFO!
When Squirrels Attack!
I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous!
Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second, and more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport. The reactions and accurate decision making abilities needed have been likened to the reactions of fighter pilots! The consequences of bad decisions or poor situational awareness are pretty much the same for both groups too.
Occasionally, as a rider I have caught myself starting to make bad or late decisions while riding. In flight training, my instructors called this being “behind the power curve”. It is a mark of experience that when this begins to happen, the rider recognizes the situation, and more importantly, does something about it. A short break, a meal, or even a gas stop can set things right again as it gives the brain a chance to catch up.
Good, accurate, and timely decisions are essential when riding a motorcycle…at least if you want to remain among the living. In short, the brain needs to keep up with the machine.
I had been banging around the roads of east Texas and as I headed back into Dallas, found myself in very heavy, high-speed traffic on the freeways. Normally, this is not a problem, I commute in these conditions daily, but suddenly I was nearly run down by a cage that decided it needed my lane more than I did. This is not normally a big deal either, as it happens around here often, but usually I can accurately predict which drivers are not paying attention and avoid them before we are even close. This one I missed seeing until it was nearly too late, and as I took evasive action I nearly broadsided another car that I was not even aware was there!
Two bad decisions and insufficient situational awareness…all within seconds. I was behind the power curve. Time to get off the freeway.
I hit the next exit, and as I was in an area I knew pretty well, headed through a few big residential neighborhoods as a new route home. As I turned onto the nearly empty streets I opened the visor on my full-face helmet to help get some air. I figured some slow riding through the quiet surface streets would give me time to relax, think, and regain that “edge” so frequently required when riding.
Little did I suspect…
As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car. I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it—it was that close.
I hate to run over animals…and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact.
Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels can take care of themselves!
Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing the oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, “Banzai!” or maybe, “Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!” as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest.
Cute little purveyor of death and destruction!
Instantly he set upon me. If I did not know better I would have sworn he brought twenty of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage!
Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves puttering maybe 25mph down a quiet residential street…and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing.
I grabbed for him with my left hand and managed to snag his tail. With all my strength I flung the evil rodent off the left of the bike, almost running into the right curb as I recoiled from the throw.
That should have done it. The matter should have ended right there. It really should have. The squirrel could have sailed into one of the pristinely kept yards and gone on about his business, and I could have headed home. No one would have been the wiser.
But this was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary pissed-off squirrel.
This was an evil attack squirrel of death!
Somehow he caught my gloved finger with one of his little hands, and with the force of the throw swung around and with a resounding thump and an amazing impact he landed square on my back and resumed his rather anti-social and extremely distracting activities. He also managed to take my left glove with him!
The situation was not improved. Not improved at all. His attacks were continuing, and now I could not reach him.
I was startled to say the least. The combination of the force of the throw, only having one hand (the throttle hand) on the handlebars, and my jerking back unfortunately put a healthy twist through my right hand and into the throttle. A healthy twist on the throttle of a Valkyrie can only have one result. Torque. This is what the Valkyrie is made for, and she is very, very good at it.
The engine roared as the front wheel left the pavement. The squirrel screamed in anger. The Valkyrie screamed in ecstasy. I screamed in…well…I just plain screamed.
Now picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a slightly squirrel torn t-shirt, and only one leather glove roaring at maybe 70mph and rapidly accelerating down a quiet residential street…on one wheel and with a demonic squirrel on his back. The man and the squirrel are both screaming bloody murder.
With the sudden acceleration I was forced to put my other hand back on the handlebars and try to get control of the bike. This was leaving the mutant squirrel to his own devices, but I really did not want to crash into somebody’s tree, house, or parked car. Also, I had not yet figured out how to release the throttle…my brain was just simply overloaded. I did manage to mash the back brake, but it had little affect against the massive power of the big cruiser.
About this time the squirrel decided that I was not paying sufficient attention to this very serious battle (maybe he is a Scottish attack squirrel of death), and he came around my neck and got IN my full-face helmet with me. As the faceplate closed partway and he began hissing in my face I am quite sure my screaming changed tone and intensity. It seemed to have little affect on the squirrel however.
The rpm’s on The Dragon maxed out (I was not concerned about shifting at the moment) and her front end started to drop.
Now picture the large man on the huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a very ragged torn t-shirt, and wearing one leather glove, roaring at probably 80mph, still on one wheel, with a large puffy squirrel’s tail sticking out his mostly closed full-face helmet. By now the screams are probably getting a little hoarse.
Finally I got the upper hand…I managed to grab his tail again, pulled him out of my helmet, and slung him to the left as hard as I could. This time it worked…sort-of. Spectacularly sort-of, so to speak.
Picture the scene. You are a cop. You and your partner have pulled off on a quiet residential street and parked with your windows down to do some paperwork.
Suddenly a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a torn t-shirt flapping in the breeze, and wearing one leather glove, moving at probably 80mph on one wheel, and screaming bloody murder roars by and with all his strength throws a live squirrel grenade directly into your police car.
I heard screams. They weren’t mine…
I managed to get the big motorcycle under directional control and dropped the front wheel to the ground. I then used maximum braking and skidded to a stop in a cloud of tire smoke at the stop sign at a busy cross street.
I would have returned to fess up (and to get my glove back). I really would have. Really. But for two things. First, the cops did not seem interested or the slightest bit concerned about me at the moment. One of them was on his back in the front yard of the house they had been parked in front of and was rapidly crabbing backwards away from the patrol car. The other was standing in the street and was training a riot shotgun on the police cruiser.
So the cops were not interested in me. They often insist to “let the professionals handle it” anyway. That was one thing. The other? Well, I swear I could see the squirrel, standing in the back window of the patrol car among shredded and flying pieces of foam and upholstery, and shaking his little fist at me. I think he was shooting me the finger…
That is one dangerous squirrel. And now he has a patrol car…
I took a deep breath, turned on my turn-signal, made an easy right turn, and sedately left the neighborhood.
As for my easy and slow drive home? Screw it. Faced with a choice of 80mph cars and inattentive drivers, or the evil, demonic, attack squirrel of death…I’ll take my chances with the freeway. Every time.
And I’ll buy myself a new pair of gloves.
Living for the Apocalypse
After watching TLC’s one hour special called “Living for the Apocalypse,” I got to thinking about why we are so easy to accept that the apocalypse is coming. maybe not the biblical end of the world, fire and brimstone type of apocalypse, but I think everyone you ask believes that some sort of life changing event is on the horizon. Sure, some of the people portrayed in the TLC special are a bit eccentric, but there are probably millions of other people out there that are preparing for survival at different levels. Some may be securing their assets and financial portfolios while others are stocking up a little extra on water and canned goods. Still others may be buying guns and ammo for the impending days of doom.
So, why are people so ready to accept the end of days? I have a theory that many people are frustrated with life and secretly yearn for a change. They are sick of the day to day grind. Get up, go to work, go to bed…start all over the next day. Reminds me of Bill Murray’s old movie “Groundhog Day.” In some sadistic way, they are ready for a big change! Even if it means millions of people may be affected by the event. Maybe millions will even die. It doesn’t matter…life will have changed for ever! Things will be different from there on out. Some people might even be thrusted from a mundane life of a commoner into a post apocalyptic world that embraces them as a hero, zombie killer, freedom fighter or maybe even a new leader. Don’t laugh, the sub conscious fantasy world can have a huge draw on the way you think and behave.
With all the events of late…hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes and economic problems, it doesn’t take much to allow your imagination to conjure up some of the many different apocalyptic scenarios! Many folks react by preparing for the worst. For example, how many of your Grandparents were pack rats? Tons of canned goods in the fruit cellar? Toilet paper stashed in the basement? Did they ever throw anything useful away? This mentality probably came from the days of the Great Depression. They had to live with what they had and didn’t depend on anyone to hand them money or bailouts like the government does today. No sir…Americans in the early 1930′s were a different breed of independent survivors! People today are soft and too dependent on the government. They will be the first ones to fold when life as we know it changes. 
Peple have asked me if I think the end is coming. Many people still think of the end as a catastrophic event that will wipe out all life as we know it and the world will cease to exist. Personally, I don’t think that will happen until the sun runs out of fuel and decides to go super nova. At that point, the world will end. But until then, I do believe that we have many events and cycles to endure and over come. Sure, they will change life as we know it and many may not survive…but the human race will survive. Right up until the sun goes out with a world shattering bang. We may be facing civil unrest, war, natural disaster or maybe even a new ice age that historically happens every 100,000 years or so! (We are over due, by the way!) What ever happens, humans will survive. So I do agree with preparation. If you are lucky enough to survive an initial event, then you will need supplies and planning to continue your stay on this Earth. Guns and ammo will definitely help protect your assets from those who did not plan on surviving or they could even be part of your plan for finding and taking your share of what is left.
What ever your ideas and goals are…it all starts with a little planning and preparation. You don’t have to be an eccentric wacko to institute a survival plan. You just have to have a desire to protect and provide for your family no matter what life throws at you. We can’t change the path that we are heading in but we can give ourselves better odds of surviving LIKE A MOFO!
Automatic Wage Witholding to Help Reduce National Debt
Well, if you are one of those sheeple sitting out there in la-la land wishing for a way to have the government automatically take a percentage of your paycheck as a donation to help pay down the national debt…your dream may soon come true! That’s right, It seems that several wacko congressman have nothing better to do than dream up this crap and introduce it to the floor. I present to you HR2411…“Reduce America’s Debt Now Act of 2011.” Oh yeah! You just can’t make this shit up! The US Government is so broke since Obama started printing money like Milton Bradley, it has to now ask for you to voluntarily donate to the cause! But wait, maybe that’s not so bad…tax deductions, right?? Wrong…donations are non tax deductible and your job will be responsible for covering the cost of with holding the money, filing the paper work, sending the payments etc. We all know how our employers like to cover the cost of things!
Our money is currently not worth the paper it is printed on!
I have heard that congress is also ringing their hands for the chance to charge us a ‘per mile’ tax on our cars and trucks! Won’t that be nice! We already pay taxes out the ass on every gallon of gas, not to mention every time the vehicle is sold or transferred. What ever happened to no taxation without representation? I don’t think any of us voted for these assholes so that they could tax the hell out of us in return! Folks, this government is out of control and we are spiraling into the same situation that Greece is in right now. Some experts have estimated that we are one year behind Greece in economic turmoil. Wide spread depression, food shortages, fuel shortages, rioting…we have some fun times to look forward to!
I don’t know about you, but next year is election year and if we are stupid enough to vote BHO back into office, (and by we…I mean YOU cause I know I ain’t voting for the lying bastard!) well my friends, this country will get what it deserves LIKE A MOFO!
Lines Are Being Drawn in the Sand
The neighborhood is about to get ugly!
We have been hearing in the news lately that Iran is getting close to having nuclear weapons. They claim that they are entitled to peaceful nuclear technology, but who refines uranium to weapon grade specifications for peaceful uses? I ain’t buying it and apparently neither is Saudi Arabia. Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador to Washington, warned senior Nato military officials that the existence of nuclear weapons in Iran would lead to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to progress with plans to obtain their own nuclear weapons. Now, I don’t know about you but this seems like two kids on the block squaring off with brass knuckles! If these two countries both have access to nukes…I do think we will see nuclear war in our life times!
Lines have been drawn in the sand!
Iran is unstable and Saudi will not be pushed around. It’s a recipe for disaster! I’m definitely not one for meddling with other country’s affairs but this is bad news. As an ally of Saudi, we would certainly be involved in the melee, maybe not in warfare but surely in the political sabre rattling. The entire world would be involved in the aftermath of nuclear war in the Middle East. Depending on the scale of battle, we could face nuclear fallout and nuclear winter all around the globe.
In the grand scheme of things, maybe we should sit back and let them bomb each other back to the stone age! They have been battling over there for over two thousand years and there is no end in sight. Maybe this could be the end of the Middle East conflict for ever? Maybe the superpowers should join in and unload all our ordnance into the Middle East theater and make it one big glass parking lot! The radiation would die down after 100 years and Disney could put up a new theme park! Personally, I think 2000 years of civil unrest has stunted these third world shit hole’s growth. Most of them are still in the stone age! The only modern advancements are AK47′s and RPG’s. Many people in these god forsaken countries still live in mud huts, eat scrub grass and wipe their asses with their hands. Not to mention all the nervous goats in the village! Humanity and compassion aside, a giant tsunami could wipe out the entire Middle East and it really wouldn’t be much of a loss!
Maybe this is why Obama is pulling our troops out finally? Fear of nuclear war in the region? Or maybe it is just a political stunt to try and get re-elected? Although, with gas prices dropping and Obama paint pictures of rainbows and unicorns everywhere, I can almost guarantee that it is a political stunt. It would make too much sense to pull our troops out of harms way LIKE A MOFO!
Preparing for TEOTWAWKI
Funny title but serious article. Many of my readers know that TEOTWAWKI stands for The End Of The World As We Know It. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the sun will explode and all life will instantaneously cease to exist (not that that isn’t possible) but rather that life as we know it may change forever. There are many events that could bring on a change like this…natural disasters, civil unrest, economic collapse, wide spread terror attacks, pandemic disease…the possibilities are endless. Although any one of these devastating events would change how we live our lives, none of them would completely end the world. Life would still go on and survivors would have to learn to adapt. This may include learning to get by without computers, internet, cell phones and electronic coffee makers! People may have to grow or kill their own food instead of relying on grocery stores. Groups of survivors may have to cling together to survive a new, harsh world. I know this seems completely far fetched but in reality, these scenarios are 100% more likely to happen compared to complete annihilation.
What will you do when the shelves are bare?
One of the most important things that you can do is prepare for the worst. I know, no one wants to be that crazy stock piling hoarder down the street, but even preparing casually (under the radar) is better than doing nothing at all. In this day and age, it is acceptable to prepare and it’s even encouraged by by government entities such ad the CDC and Homeland Security. So, as a little precursor to disaster, I decided to do a little research on the top 100 things that you may want to acquire before a life changing apocalyptic event might occur. Many of the items on the following list will disappear very quickly after a TEOTWAWKI event making them next to impossible to obtain.

Many people started thinking about survival preparations around the time of Y2K. Although Y2K never came to light, it very well could have happened and it’s ramifications could have plunged the world into a whole different outlook. As a matter of fact, some Americans have already encountered survival situations after tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. Your early preparations will even help in these kind of local disaster events.
Hopefully, TEOTWAWKI will never happen but at least you know that a little preparation could help you and your family survive at least another day longer LIKE A MOFO!
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide
Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide!
The Invisible Killer
Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.
Dihydrogen monoxide:
- is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
- contributes to the “greenhouse effect.”
- may cause severe burns.
- contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
- accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
- may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
- has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportions!
Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently Louisiana.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:
- as an industrial solvent and coolant.
- in nuclear power plants.
- in the production of styrofoam.
- as a fire retardant.
- in many forms of cruel animal research.
- in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
- as an additive in certain “junk-foods” and other food products.
Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!
The Horror Must Be Stopped!
The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its “importance to the economic health of
Yep, common, everyday water.
this nation.” In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.
In case you didn’t realize what this article is about, Dihydrogen monoxide is a less common name for water. Yep, good ‘ole H2O! This just goes to show how something can get all blown out of proportion LIKE A MOFO!
Sunday Hunting in PA
On June 9th, a meeting was held at Seven Springs Resort to debate the possibility of removing the ban on Sunday hunting in Pennsylvania. Currently, PA is one of only eleven states that ban Sunday hunting. Ohio was the last state to overturn the ban in 2002. It doesn’t seem like a big issue, but both sides of the debate are very passionate. Many sportsmen and hunting associations support the issue stating that the extra day would help the sport of hunting by opening it up to more people and allowing parents that work six days a week to spend more time in the woods with their kids. It would also boost the economy by creating more license sales as well as all the other incidentals that go along with a day out in the field. For example, a new hunter would buy some hunting gear, blaze orange vest and hat, boots…maybe a new gun and ammo. On the way to the hunt, he may stop for breakfast and possible dinner after a day in the field. As you can see, just one hunter can create a lot of extra revenue for local businesses.
Hunting is a tradition passed down from father to son.
Opponents of Sunday hunting are mostly farmers, land owners and hikers. They claim that Sunday is the one and only day that is bullet free. They want the Sunday ban to remain in effect so they can enjoy a day of peace and quiet. That’s fine and dandy, but I have a few problems with these opponents! First of all, why is it always a small group of loud mouths that want to impose silly regulations and restrictions on the majority? Secondly, farmers and land owners are allowed to post their property to prevent hunting. Hikers and campers have many weekends that are hunting free to enjoy the outdoors. Most hunting seasons only last for 2 weeks and they are spaced throughout the calendar. There are also many areas that are off limits to hunters that they can enjoy anytime. Farmers also seem to be double sided on this issue. Many complain about deer and other animals destroying their crops due to large numbers but then they oppose the Sunday hunting even though it may help to thin the herds out and protect their land and crops.
I am one of those people that would benefit from Sunday hunting. I work six days a week and I have very little time to take my boys hunting. I would love to see Sundays opened up for people like me. Hunting is an American tradition and something that I would like to introduce my kids. Without Sundays being open, I would have to short my paycheck by taking un-necessary days off or use vacation days. Others that live from pay check to pay check may not even have those options. I also think that the sport of hunting needs new participants in order to held wildlife management. I’m sure anyone in PA or many of the other Northeastern States have noticed an increase in dear vs. vehicle accidents. As the herds grow, the deer expand their Territory until it overlaps with ours causing millions of dollars in damage as well as many deaths. By regulating the deer population, the death and destruction will decrease and the deer herds can continue at a more healthy level.
In conclusion, I think that the whiny minority needs to quit bitching and start supporting American Freedom and tradition. Our country was built on the foundations of hard work, tradition and providing for yourself and your family. Hunting is a big part of our American Heritage and once again, there is a small group that want’s to restrict that. Hunting is also a tradition that is handed down from father to son (and daughters, too) but if silly blue laws like the Sunday ban aren’t repealed, this tradition may become endangered. Hopefully, the Seven Springs committee will do the right thing and introduce the bill to the state senate in order to get the Sunday hunting ban lifted LIKE A MOFO!
White House vs. Congress
Lines are being drawn in the sand between the White House and Congress over the war in Libya. According to the War Powers Act, the President has 60 days
Is Obama above the law?
to take military action against another country without the approval of congress. This Sunday marks 90 days that Obama has been at war with Libya with no congressional support. By all rights, he should be tried and impeached for ignoring the US Constitution. That’s exactly what a group of bipartisan congressmen are seeking with a lawsuit filed against the Obama administration yesterday. The White House countered with a 32 page report claiming that the war in Libya is not a war and we are only involved in a support role for NATO. Here is a link to a CNN article with more info:
White House defends to Congress the U.S. military mission in Libya
The War Powers Resolution was put in place to help prevent this exact kind of situation. It was designed to curb an out of control presidential administration! Think about it…we elect a man with little to no military experience and give him control of the mast advanced fighting force in the world! There has to be some restrictions to this power. Most presidents seek the approval of congress as well as the chiefs of staff, but it seems that Obama is a loose cannon and wants to bully the rest of the world into his form of socialism/democracy. Well, the United States is not the world police and we don’t need to get involved in every 3rd world pissing match! Especially when our own homeland is in the middle of an economic disaster. The last thing tax payers need to spend money on is bombs for Libya, Yemen or any other shit hole country in the Middle East! I think many of these scrimmages are designed to protect our oil field interests in other lands even though we have enough oil in our own country to last many lifetimes, although that makes more sense than the thinly veiled excuse of spreading democracy around the world.
Another war over oil!
I’m not against flexing our super power muscles but I do feel that our resources and money would be better spent on securing our national borders and rebuilding our economy. Obama is an arrogant leader and has no respect for the rules and laws of this land. He blatantly sends our troops into harms way with no agenda and no plan to prevail. This is the real reason he needs stopped. The shoulder shrugging attitude offered to congress just cements his persona as an out of control president. He now believes that he is above the law. In his mind, he is the greatest leader in the free world and he wants to prove it to all his global peers. What’s next? Will he declare martial law in order to stop elections in 2012? Attacks on protests and rallies. Civilian prison camps for everyone who disagrees with his policies. Anything is possible and it can happen if offenses like this go unchecked. That is why the Founding Fathers instituted the system of checks and balances in the first place. They had the insight that absolute power corrupts even back then.
This is quite a scary chapter in our country’s history and I feel that many strange days are ahead. Could we be closer to a second revolution than anyone dares to think? The Obama Administration is the only faction that knows the answer to that. Watch this story closely because how the White House handles this law suit will determine the next chapter in American history. It can only go one of two ways…Kingdom of Obama: land of the oppressed subservients or The United States of America: land of the free and home of the brave! I don’t know about you, but I’m routing for the latter LIKE A MOFO!
Castle Doctrine Bill Passes PA Senate Committee
Yesterday was a big day for Pennsylvania citizens and another small victory for legal gun owners! A Pennsylvania Senate Committee passed the NRA supported Castle Doctrine known as HB 40 with a 13 – 1 vote. Introduced by state Representative Scott Perry (R-92), HB 40 would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. If enacted into law, it would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used.
Another victory for PA Residents!
Currently, the law in Pennsylvania requires you to retreat from a threatening situation when ever possible. That’s right…even in your own house, you have no right to defend yourself unless it is a last desperate option. Even then, you will be subject to a flurry of civil and criminal lawsuits from any number of factions. Completely unacceptable! HB 40 will give PA Residents the legal power to defend your home and your family that they deserve. It also protects your right to defend yourself outside the home and in your vehicle. It’s a shame that we need a law like this because it is just common sense that you should be allowed to defend yourself but in this day and age, it’s also good to have written law behind you in all cases of self defense.
It’s not over yet…the bill will now be considered by the PA State Senate as early as today! Once HB 40 passes the Senate vote, I hope we can all count on Gov. Corbett to do the right thing and sign it into Pennsylvania Law! So for now, we need to call our Senators and tell them that we want them to support HB 40 LIKE A MOFO!
Mexican Drug Gangs and US Weapons
Report: Many weapons used by Mexican drug gangs originate in U.S. This is one headline that I am getting sick of seeing! The Mexican Government is blaming our relaxed gun laws for allowing military grade weapons to cross the border and fall into the hands of Mexican Drug Cartels. Even though we know this is bullshit, the left wing radicals in Congress are eating this up! To them, it is just another chance to attack our gun rights, and believe me, they are giving it both barrels! (Pun intended)
Captured Cartel guns of US Government Origin
First of all, let us recall Project Gunwalker. Entities of the US Government, including the ATF, were providing military type weapons to straw buyers who would then walk them over the border and sell them to Mexican Drug Gangs. The cover-up has been in overdrive ever since but that hasn’t stopped the antigun nuts from pushing their agenda on the rest of the unsuspecting American public. Once again, it is easy for the Mexicans and gun grabbers to claim full auto weapons are readily available in the US but they are not! The only full autos going to Mexico were coming from the US Government. How about instead of restricting my rights to own guns, we get rid of the cancerous infection that has lain siege to Washington DC!
Mexico has no one to blame except themselves and the US Government for their current situation. Themselves for allowing these cartels to get so powerful in the first place and for not doing anything to suppress them and the US Government for supplying the means to the cartels. I’m sure it’s also because the illegal drug business is a big financial supporter of the Mexican Government and it’s starting to look like it’s a supporter of the US government also! So many cynics in the Washington cry about drug trafficking but they fail to realize that their colleagues and even their own government departments may be involved with these lowlifes and thus allowing drugs and drug money to come into this country. It’s a freaking disgrace and every person in America should be pissed!
It is unacceptable for our rights to even be challenged over these bogus allegations. Especially since we know that our own government is guilty of the crime! How can we allow such double standards? “Hey, lets send guns to Mexico, get money and drugs and blame gun rights while we’re at it!” What a great idea…A-Holes! What ever happened to a little thing called treason? Back in the day, those convicted of treason were hanged in a public execution. Today, we allow them to hold public offices!
I guarantee you that this isn’t over yet. There will be new gun laws proposed including another assault weapon ban and more of our rights will be threatened. Remember folks, you may not care about guns or gun laws, but the 2nd Amendment is what protects all the other Amendments LIKE A MOFO!
Zero Tolerance for Elected Officials
I’m sure you have all heard about the latest congressional scandal that has turned the house floor into a three ring circus. Weinergate! Apparently, Democratic
Weiner bashed for inappropriate tweeting and lying
Representative Tony Weiner gets all horned up and tweets naked photos of himself to some Twitter hotties and gets caught. Instead of being a man and admitting that he participated in the extra curricular activity, he decides to play dumb, deny it and downright lie about it. This isn’t the first time elected officials have lied about their colorful antics and I’m sure it won’t be the last! Another memorable instance was former commander and chief, Bill Clinton and his infamous statement that “he did not have sex with that woman!” Again, no one really cares if he was banging a White House intern but when he gets caught and decides to lie about it…that’s where the problem really starts.
Here’s the thing…if a person lies about something, chances are that they are guilty of lying on a regular basis which is not a good characteristic to have when you are serving as an elected public official. I know I don’t want some lying, two faced sleaze bag representing me. I don’t really care if they are playing hide the Salomi with the secretary after hours, but lying to cover it up? No way! That’s where it should stop. If any elected official is caught lying, stealing, embezzling, using drugs or any other number of dishonest deeds, he or she should be immediately dismissed from their position. No excuses…no exceptions! Zero Tolerance! Rep. Weiner should be forced to resign or impeached immediately for his actions. He has made it clear that he has no intentions on resigning, but there shouldn’t be a choice at all! Maybe we need to hire Jeff Probst to extinguish his torch! “Weiner, the tribe has spoken! Time for you to go!” Oh, and take your buddy Barrack with you!
"That was one good cigar!" ~Bill Clinton
Corruption has been the norm in office for so long that most of the politicians today would probably be gone if zero tolerance were instituted…right up to and including the President! Just look at the zero tolerance policies deployed in most school districts across the country. If a student is caught with drugs or weapons, they are expelled. No excuses and no exceptions. Sometimes I disagree with certain zero tolerance rulings but if it’s good for the goose, it must be good for the gander! Government leaders need to be held accountable for their actions just as our children are! It’s not rocket science, people…it’s just common sense! Maybe a policy like this would help clean up the corruption in government and help get rid of the seemingly endless supply of human douche bags currently in office.
Weiner, Clinton, Edwards, Ted Kennedy…the list just goes on and on like a bad dream. It’s time we set some standards for the people that we elect to represent and lead us. It’s also time to clean up and take out the trash! Just look at this Congressional rap sheet from a few years ago…
29 members of Congress have been accused of spousal abuse,
7 have been arrested for fraud,
19 have been accused of writing bad checks,
117 have bankrupted at least two businesses,
3 have been arrested for assault,
71 have credit reports so bad they can’t qualify for a credit card,
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges,
8 have been arrested for shoplifting,
21 are current defendants in lawsuits,
and in 1998 alone, 84 were stopped for drunk driving, but released after they claimed Congressional immunity. (from Capitol Hill Blue)
Just remember, you and I pay for these people’s wages! I certainly don’t have a warm and fuzzy feeling after paying my taxes LIKE A MOFO! How about you?
FDA Admitts that Chicken Meat Contains Cancer Causing Arsenic
The Food and Drug Administration has acknowledged that some chicken meat sold in the US may contain small levels of arsenic, a known cancer causing
FDA: Chicken Meat May Contain Arsenic
toxin. Even worse, the arsenic has been added to chicken feed on purpose! Apparently, arsenic is used in chicken feed to kill harmful parasites in the feed. The FDA has been sweeping this issue under the carpet for years by claiming that the arsenic levels are insignificant to harm humans and that most of the arsenic is expelled from the chicken as excrement. In this latest report, the FDA still claims that the levels are not high enough to harm humans but arsenic manufacturer, Pfizer, has announced that it will stop selling the toxin to feed producers. You can read more in the article linked here.
The shame in this news is that even though the arsenic levels are low, they can be totally avoidable. Think about it…there may be a little arsenic in the chicken, some pesticides on your vegetables and maybe a little saccharin in your diet cola. Each item in your dinner may contain small amounts of these toxins, each well below dangerous levels…but when combined in an entire meal, the levels could become elevated to above acceptable limits! There should not be ‘acceptable’ limits! If something is dangerous or life threatening to humans, it just shouldn’t be used in our foods! We have the technology and knowledge to create safe ingredients for our foods. There is no excuse for secretly adding dangerous toxins to the menu! It’s one thing to avoid foods that make you fat or unhealthy like McDonald’s or Little Debbie Snack Cakes, but it’s really bad when stuff is added to our foods that can make us sick and we don’t even know about!
I don’t know about you guys, but I have been noticing more and more health problems in this country. Cancer is running rampant as well as Diabetes and other deadly diseases. It’s really no wonder when you read about shit like this! It seems that a lot of our problems are man made. Plus, the pharmaceutical industry is big enough that they don’t want these ailments to vanish. If there wasn’t sickness to treat, medicines wouldn’t be needed. Drug companies can’t have that! So I think that some of these diseases are manufactured to keep them in business. We found cures for the black plague and small pocks but we can cure cancer or HIV? I don’t think so…again, drug companies make too much money from fighting cancer, they will never allow a cure to be found despite the millions and millions of dollars raised each year to do so. You can ask why the FDA and other government agencies don’t do anything about this? Well, for every dollar the giant drug companies make, the government takes in a percentage in taxes! It’s just one viscous circle of life and folks…life has a 100% mortality rate!
Oh, and don’t think your safe by not eating chicken…for years, chicken litter has been mixed in with cow feed as a nutrient so all that arsenic that was pooped out by the chickens got ingested by the cows and probably wound up in your hamburgers and steaks! Nothing is safe anymore and it seems that everything we eat or drink has some kind of risk. There are reports almost every day on what the latest killer ingredient is and that list is growing exponentially! Not to mention the list of foods and drinks that are just plain bad for us! Maybe it’s just better eat, drink and be merry LIKE A MOFO!
Muslims Urged to Buy Full Auto Weapons
Adam Gadahn - Ex-American al-Qadea Spokesman
American al-Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn, or shall we say ex-American, released a statement recently that urges American Muslims to go to gun shows and purchase fully automatic weapons in preparation for shooting attacks. Mr. Gadahn is the son of a couple California hippie’s that fell into the whole uneducated anti American crowd and like the rest of his kind, it really shows. As most gun show attendee’s know, full auto guns are not readily available to the average American. Gadahn claims that these full auto weapons are obtainable without ID or any type of background check. Folks, I have been to many gun shows and I have never seen a full auto rifle available without a background check. As a matter of fact, you have to fill out a barrage of paperwork, signed by a local or county sheriff and filed with the ATF. The waiting period is somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-6 months just to be approved. On top of all that, there is a $200 federal tax stamp required per gun and you usually have to pay the seller, who must be a federally licensed class III NFA firearms dealer, in advance. There are not many full auto’s available under $10,000 each! Plus, part of the heavy restrictions of full auto ownership outlined in the GCA of 1986 (Gun Control Act) reads like this: Civilians are not allowed to possess fully automatic weapons unless they were manufactured prior to 1986. The weapons manufactured before 1986 are “Grandfathered” meaning they can still be LEGALLY transferred thru a licensed/bonded Class III NFA Weapons Dealer.NO fully automatic weapons made after 1986 are legal for civilians to own or possess.
So, as you can see, Mr. Gadahn is pretty much full of shit! Full auto guns are not easy to obtain and are not readily available to help unleash jihad on unsuspecting infidels! As a matter of fact, in order to legally purchase one, you must jump through a series of daunting hoops and be somewhat wealthy. Personally, I think this new statement from al-Qaeda is designed to work with the American public’s existing fear of full auto guns. In reality, full auto gun fire is surprisingly less accurate in battle. It is mainly used as suppressive fire to cover troop movements. The high rate of fire and recoil causes the barrel to rise during full auto firing thus making the gun very inaccurate. Better results are obtained from semi auto fire which is one bullet per pull of the trigger. I’ve often said that I would rather face a Muslim with a full auto AK than a marksman with a single shot .22! The marksman will win every time!
Ok, we know that it will be next to impossible for al-Qaeda to obtain full auto rifles. As I mentioned, this latest statement is designed to play on the antigunner’s fear of full auto weapons. It is designed to create an even bigger difference in the American peoples views of gun ownership. al-Qaeda is hoping that all the people on the fence with gun ownership will side with the antigunners and demand more gun restrictions and more gun grabs from legal gun owners. I can hear those light bulbs going off in your heads! YES! al-Qadea is trying to disarm us from within! Makes sense…disarm the people and it will be easier to carry out attacks on domestic targets, plus the main goal of terrorism is to create conflict and disruption in our way of life! As easy as it is to laugh off Gadahn’s comments and threats, this is possibly one of the most dangerous attacks on us yet. Not only will the ensuing debates split the country even more, it could take away more guns that could be used to thwart insurgent attacks on our own soil. It almost seems that al-Qaeda is aligned with Bloomberg, Daily, Biden and all the other gun grabbing. left wing nut cases. As you can imagine, when your enemies have the same agenda as your leaders, nothing good can come of it!
From my cold, dead hands!
The next step from left wing America will be to ban military style guns such as the semi auto AR15′s and AK-47′s. They will claim that Muslims can legally purchase these rifles or convert regular semi auto sporting rifles to full auto which again is not an easy task and has very little benefit to be gained. In all reality, the semi auto versions are more dangerous in the hands of a terrorist whack job to begin with. But that still does not justify an all out ban on this type of rifle. What can work is the background check system that is already in place along with some common sense! If you’re a gun shop owner or gun show vendor and some nervous, sweaty dude named Abdul wants to buy an AK from you…tell him to take a hike! Just like the company in Florida that though it was a good idea to train the 9/11 hijackers to fly commercial jets! What were the thinking? Sure, it is racial profiling, but it isn’t the Irish, Chinese or Californian’s that we are worried about! It’s the Muslim Arabs that we have beef with. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, we started to round up all the Japanese-Americans and put them in detainee camps until the threat could be assessed. By god, the same thing should be done with the Muslims! I know it sounds harsh and racial but come on guys…we are at war with these freaking people! We don’t need to be all touch feely with them! Let’s take our country back! Support the right to bear arms and tell the Radical Muslims to get the fuck out LIKE A MOFO!
Lavish Lawmaker Spending In Face Of Looming Budget Cuts
School Budget Cuts Bad News for PA
With looming budget cuts and financial turmoil dividing Harrisburg, PA, I was surprised to find a report from a local TV station exposing lavish spending from not just one but a whole list of Pennsylvania lawmakers! One of the biggest budget cuts in the state is affecting our education system with hundreds of Pennsylvania teachers getting their pink slips at the end of the school year. Schools all over the state are cutting back on student functions and extra curricular activities for next year. However, the budget crunch hasn’t ended the frivolous spending that goes on by our elected officials! Take a look at this article from WTAE in Pittsburgh:
Team 4 Uncovers Lavish Lawmaker Spending In Face Of Looming Budget Cuts
Lets break this article down into snippets…
PITTSBURGH — As school districts lay off teachers and cut programs because of budget cuts in Harrisburg, Team 4 has been digging into lawmakers’ spending.Team 4 investigative reporter Jim Parsons found a lot of questionable spending, including an Allegheny County lawmaker who authorized a $10,000 party, a senator who had a pair of $50 meals just a few miles from his Pittsburgh home and another legislator who took a $900 limo ride from Harrisburg to Philadelphia and then back again on the same day.All of those expenses were funded by taxpayers, Parsons reported.Team 4 got the spending records from the House and Senate Leadership Fund, the official term for what some refer to as the call the state legislature’s slush fund. The fund is $180 million that lawmakers can spend any way they want. Like the $50 meals Sen. Wayne Fontana of Pittsburgh ate with his Harrisburg staff at McCormick and Schmick’s. The restaurant is not in Harrisburg, but on Pittsburgh’s South Side.WOW! This is the kind of spending that we need to cut back in the state capitol! I don’t know what is more troubling, out of control spending or the attitude from the lawmakers when they are asked to account for it:
“Why are taxpayers buying you lunch in Pittsburgh?” Parsons asked Fontana. “I assume it’s a meeting we had in Pittsburgh. I can’t remember what the
Senator Wayne Fontana
There you have it! Nothing pisses me off more when elected official are interviewed and they evade, elude or refuse to talk to reporters! We elected this pricks and now they don’t want us to know what is going on behind closed doors at the state capitol! It is seriously time to clean up our government system and get rid of the dead wood. There are too many career politicians that are in the business of government just to line their pockets for retirement and live like a king doing it! Let’s read on:
House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody of Oakmont hired Premier Catering last December to bring in lunch for 500 people.The menu included crab fondue, turkey au jus with Dutch stuffing and mashed potatoes and apple
Catered Lunch Spread, Anyone? We paid for it!
That’s the attitude of an aristocracy, that’s not the attitude of public servants! Hot Diggity Dog! Mr. Potts, you nailed it right on the head! This is exactly what I am talking about! We elect these representatives and all of the sudden, they become better than us peasants! They feel that they deserve to live high on the hog. The fact is that they work for us! We pay them with our hard earned tax dollars. They should be required to answer our questions and do as we say! Something needs to change and it needs to change now! We can not sacrifice the education of our children while these pompous assholes run a muck while in control. As hundreds if not thousands of Pennsylvania teachers lose there jobs, don’t just sit back and say “Oh well.” Get on the phone and call your state representative and tell them you want this shit cut out! Tell them to pack a lunch LIKE A MOFO and save thousands of dollars that can help get our education system back on track!
Going Green Makes Me See Red
A common site these days..."Go Green" Logo
Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve probably noticed the new trend of becoming Green. Green as in Earth friendly. Electric cars, recycled paper products, biodegradable plastic…companies are tripping over each other in efforts to come up with the next big thing in Green! Well, some of makes me cringe! Sure, I think we need to cut back refuse and handle waste more effectively, but it seems that a lot of these new ‘Green’ products sacrifice quality for the sake of being labeled Earth friendly! For example, lets look at light bulbs!
The 1st light bulb was built by Humphry Davy (an Englishman) in 1809. Thomas Alva Edison improved the invention and based his improvements on a
Centennial Light in Livermore, CA will be celebrating it's 110th year on June 18th, 2011!
patent he purchased from inventors Henry Woodward & Matthew Evans who patented their bulb in 1875. There is even a light bulb in Livermore, CA that has been burning since 1901. I can’t even get a modern light bulb to last more than 2 months in my porch light! Why? Because modern bulbs are built with green technology in an attempt to make them use less energy. This not only affects the longevity of the product but also cuts the quality of light output. Many incandescent bulbs today are dim and yellow in color. I often think this is also a ploy to force consumers to purchase the newer compact fluorescent lamps or CFL’s. They promise brighter light output, longer life and huge energy savings for the planet!
Well, guess what! I tried them in every room in my house at a substantial cost increase over regular incandescent bulbs and I did not notice any difference in my electric bill. The bulbs did not last any longer than the incandescents and I found that disposal of old CFL’s is difficult. CFL’s contain a small amount of Mercury that can be hazardous to humans and pets if broken int he home or exposed to landfills and water supplies. Hmmm…interesting! CFL’s are supposed to be good for the Earth but are actually more dangerous than regular bulbs! Kind of ironic, I’d say! Did you know that there are even different CFL’s for different applications? I learned the hard way with one I had installed in a sideways mounted light socket. After several weeks, we smelled something hot in the basement and tracked it down to the CFL that was still lit but smoldering from it’s base where the glass tubing started. I would say without a doubt tht it would have caused a fire if we hadn’t found it quickly. Sylvania claimed that the bulb was made for upright lighting fixtures and was not recommended for inverted fixture applications. Caveat emptor!
So stuff like this really boils my blood. Many companies are just trying to ride the wave of going green in order to cash in on the latest rage. Maybe going green with recycled paper and biodegradable bottles isn’t such a bad thing, but when these new fangled green products can burn your house down or poison your family, maybe we need to rethink the whole idea. There are definately some things that we can do to help preserve the planet and it’s inhabitants but I still insist that under 300 years of industrialized mankind cannot destroy billions of years of planetary existence! The Earth is resilient too, if we were to all disappear one day, there would be little evidence of our existence after a short period of time. The Earth will always reclaim what is hers. We are just guests on this big blue planet. I know one thing, I better never see a product made from recycled toilet paper! I’ll be done with that LIKE A MOFO!
LAPD Seeks Tighter Regulations on Toy Guns
This is a tough topic…kids and guns. Specifically toy guns! I can say that I have no problems with kids playing with toy guns. I think it helps promote
No excuses for responsible safety training
creative play and broadens the imagination but I also think that kids should be taught proper gun handling in a playful way. There’s no way you can tell a kid not to point a toy gun at his playmates when playing Cowboys and Indians or War. But a parent can have little discussions about not touching real guns without a parent and keeping your finger off the trigger. Little pointers often help reinforce training.
The meat and potatoes of this article comes from an article I just read in the LA Times:
LAPD seeks tighter regulations on toy gunsHere is a small blurb from the article:
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck is proposing that the city require BB-gun replicas of actual firearms to be brightly colored so that police officers don’t mistake them for real weapons.The proposal, which the Los Angeles Police Commission will consider Tuesday, comes after two shootings involving officers and people with replica weapons, including one in which a teenager was wounded. Under the new rule, all such toys sold in Los Angeles would have the “entire exterior surface of the device white, bright red, bright orange, bright yellow, bright green, bright blue, bright pink or bright purple.”What kid would want to play war with a bright orange or yellow gun? The entire element of realistic action play is lost when you are pointing a bright colored gun at your arc nemesis! Now, I certainly don’t want to see kids get shot by cops that think they have real weapons, but there is another point to be made. Kids need to have responsible parents and responsible parents teach their kids right from wrong. It is wrong to point a toy gun at a police officer. Period. If kids learn that at an early age, there shouldn’t be any problems! My kids were taught that you should not point toy guns at anyone unless you are playing war and pointing it at your friends on the other team. Contrary to popular belief, kids can be taught! The problem comes from parents that are too lazy to teach their kids or from parents that are not responsible enough to be parents in the first place.
Another facet of this story is the popular Airsoft class of toy guns. They are made to look and function like real guns except that they shoot spring/air propelled plastic B-B’s. These guns are very popular with teens and even adults that engage in Airsoft battles. These battles closely mimic real battles and bright colored guns would not be conductive to game play. These guns are also popular with collectors in states that aren’t allowed to own certain kinds of guns. Again, a collector won’t want a brightly colored plastic replica gun! I am glad to see that the LAPD wants to color the guns and not just ban them from existence. That is a step in the right direction but any concessions in gun laws result in more concessions at a later date!
The LA Times article also mentions a line of realistic B-B guns available to the public. These rifles and pistols use spring/air or CO2 gas to propel metal B-B’s or pellets at high speeds. I don’t consider B-B guns to be toys and they shouldn’t be lumped into this discussion. B-B guns can be dangerous to intended and unintended victims. If someone pulls a B-B pistol on a cop, they very well could kill or injure him. Again, proper training can prevent kids form ever getting into this situation. I also feel that the B-B guns shouldn’t have to be molested into bright happy colors because they do serve a purpose as great training aids for shooters. They should be considered to be real guns and all gun rules should apply when they are being handled.
Teach Gun Safety
It all goes back to the parents. Good parents know what their kids are doing and should watch for signs of toy gun misuse. Good parents also know when to promote their kids to the next level of gun training. From toy guns to B-B guns and to that first .22 rifle. Proper gun handling is taught at all stages. Proper behavior should also be taught at all ages! Don’t punish all the other people in the country that use toy guns properly and safely everyday just because some inner city kids with poor excuses for parents did the wrong thing and got hurt or killed. Toy guns are one of the tools that good parents use to help teach their kids about safe gun handling. The rights of many should never be sacrificed by the stupidity of few. So get out there and shoot LIKE A MOFO…often and safely!
Pharmaceutical Television Advertising
Cialis (Boner Medicine)
Is it just me or is anyone else sick of all the pharmaceutical ads on the TV lately? You can’t even sit and enjoy the misery and destruction on the evening news without seeing 3 different pharmaceutical ads during each commercial break. Viagra, Cialis, Boniva, Lunesta, Celebrex, Vesicare…the list goes on and on like a meth head’s rap sheet. I find it annoying as well as unjustified. Why do these huge pharmaceutical companies need to advertise to the general public? Wouldn’t it be better to advertise to the doctor’s since most of these drugs are prescription only? It’s not like I can go down to the local CVS and grab a box of Viagra when the mood is feeling right!
I understand that advertising prescription drugs to the general public helps to educate us as to what medications are available out there but it also has to hurt the medical profession by creating a large section of hypochondriacs that now go to their doctors convinced that they have high cholesterol or restless leg syndrome! Sure, that could bring a problem to light that needs addressed but it can also be easy to misdiagnose some of these ailments causing you to start taking unneeded medications risking health concerns and interactions with other meds that you are already taking. Have you listened to the disclaimers at the end of each commercial? “This medication may cause nose bleed, high blood pressure, low sex drive, dry skin, diarrhea or vaginal discharge. Do not use if you are pregnant, nursing, allergic to chocolate or have a history of anal sex. Some test subjects have had heart attacks and died while using this drug but it is unsure if it caused the deaths.” Just an example that I paraphrased, but damn, seems like some of the risks may out weigh
Drug Ads on TV...Just Say NO!
the benefits!
I seriously think that the drug companies should advertise to the doctors and health care professionals and they should be the ones that tell us what we need to heal our health issues. Plus, I am really sick of seeing this crap advertised on TV! It’s pretty bad when your 7 year old kid thinks he needs to go to the ER because he has had an erection lasting over 4 hours. “Where did you hear that?” “The TV told me, Daddy!” Well, as impressionable as kids are, you can bet adults do go to the doctor requesting prescriptions for shit that they don’t even need! If one doctor won’t prescribe it, there are hundreds of others that might! There you go, good business for the drug companies but a bad deal for the consumers who are getting duped into paying for medications that they probably don’t need, not to mention the possible heath risks associated with some of these meds. Does the FDA even have time to thoroughly test all the new pharmaceuticals coming out lately? Recalls and discontinuing meds due to health risks seem to be fairly common these days too! I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be the guinea pig that they test on! I just want to live my life LIKE A MOFO…with as little medication as I need and even less jammed down my throat from TV advertisements!
Embedding YouTube Videos May Soon Be a Felony
Yes, you read the title correctly! According to Senate Bill 978, prosecutors will be able to go after websites, blogs and forums for posting embedded Youtube videos that have been deemed copyright infringement by the powers that be. This means that someone like me can post an embedded Youtube video using the embedded sharing code that Youtube provides. Then somewhere along the line, somebody decided that said video is a violation of some copyright law and then the computer police come after me for posting the offensive video! Folks, this is a direct attack on our freedoms disguised as another feel good law to control the people. I guarantee that this law has other implications that can land your ass in jail for similar offenses!
Right now, if a copyright law is found to be infringed…Youtube removes the video and the end user sees the dreaded black box that says the video has been
Youtube Criminal
removed. Fine. No harm done, and everyone is happy! Except for Uncle Sam! He didn’t get to make any money on the deal so now we need a new law! I’m sure this is all part of Obama’s attack on the 1st Amendment! If he could shut down all the conservative talk radio stations, TV shows and bloggers out there in cyberspace, he would be as happy as a pig in mud. If enacted, this bill would virtuously eliminate the alternate media and make everyone think twice about posting a link of video online. A simple post could land you 5 years in prison and unknown amount of fines! After all, why would the government care about people’s copyrights being infringed? They are more concerned with controlling the information stream. Here is a link to an article with more information:
http://www.infowars.com/embedding-youtube-videos-may-soon-be-a-felony/
I don’t know how man times I can stress that we are under attack from within our very own borders! Senate Bill 978 is just another example of how our freedom is being stripped away one piece at a time! Policies are already in place to protect content owners and this is nothing more than another bullshit law designed to oppress the people! Who votes for these representatives anyway? Just like that loud mouth Weiner Asshole! I see he just announced that he lied about his tweeting adventures but doesn’t plan on resigning…well that’s good because YOUR FIRED! Call your local Senators up and tell them to vote this bill down LIKE A MOFO!
Bigfoot. Fact or Fiction?
Some of you made have heard of the latest Bigfoot evidence that surfaced on May 24th, 2011. While filming her friends on a hiking trip in Spokane, WA, a girl inadvertently captured Bigfoot trudging through the woods with her iPhone! So there we have it! Finally, video evidence of the mythological creature that has been eluding both novice and expert Bigfoot hunters for decades, right? Ummm, not so fast there skippy! As with all irrefutable video evidence, a flurry of experts came out of the woodwork to cry HOAX! As the debate continues, I’m not sure if I am sold either. Here is the video…
The video looks good, but almost too good! That is part of the problem with it’s authenticity. However, some of the critics really make me laugh. “No, that’s not Bigfoot…the gate is all wrong! His head is too big. Legs are too short.” Have you ever seen a Bigfoot? How the hell do you now what it is supposed to look like? And then they all want to check the credibility of the witness. Like redneck #1 is more creditable than redneck #2. However, I digress…it’s really no wonder that there is so much doubt and disbelief abound when these videos surface, the amount of proven and/or admitted hoaxes far out weighs the number of unexplainable footage. For some reason, people seem to think they can pull one over on the world with fake evidence! They just don’t realize that their technology is probably not as good as the expert’s technology is!
As I said, I am on the fence with this video. While researching the video, some references were made to another video claiming that is was hoaxed, but I did not find the video mentioned. You can be the judge! This article is focusing on the phenomena of hoaxers and hoaxing. What makes people try to pull
Alien Body Hoax
hoaxes? I think it is the attention and the promise of 15 seconds of fame. Maybe they want to test their skills against the established experts with the slim chance of pulling off a good one! They might even be a little crazy! It’s probably a combination of all of these things that make hoaxers do what they do! Some hoaxes are good and some are so bad that they make you laugh! Two recent examples…the 3 foot alien body found in Siberia and the Bigfoot body found and put on ice in a big cooler. Both were pretty obvious fakes but they both managed to attract a lot of media attention. My theory stands…the hoaxers got the attention that they were looking for! Although, there is a price to pay for your moment of fame. Everyone that remembers your hoax will remember you as a crazy attention whore that was out looking for fame. Why would someone put their social life on the rocks for this kind of attention? That is the part that blows my mind. Not to mention that some hoaxes may be criminal acts and punishable by law.
I’ve read stories about the Kecksburg, PA UFO siting that happened many years ago. There were a number of witnesses and most of them still stick to their stories to this day even though many have been labeled as non stable nut cases. In this case, I think something did indeed happen. It may have not been an alien crash site, but something happened in Kecksburg and the government covered it up. Same thing in Roswell, NV. Many people witnessed an event and have been labeled as wacko’s for their public accounts. I do believe something happened in Roswell. Not sure what, but something happened. Just the fact that the government denies the existence of Area 51 is enough reason to discredit most of what they have to say about these incidents!
Would the real Bigfoot please stand up?
Personally, I do believe that there are Bigfoot’s out there. I also believe that there are UFO’s, ghosts and probably even a Loch Ness Monster. The world is a big place and there is still a lot of areas that we haven’t explored. The possibility that there are “things” out there that we haven’t captured or killed is very large. One day, we may have the evidence that we need to believe but only if the experts don’t want to not believe so much that they over look the truth. Real encounters may already be getting filed in the hoax folder because so many people are crying wolf. One day, when real evidence is at hand, we all may be so desensitized that we will dismiss it as another hoax.
All in all, hoaxes can be enlightening and entertaining but they really are a big nuisance. I can’t even imagine the amount of money and resources that have been invested in researching and disproving all the hoaxes over the years. Not just Bigfoot, but all the mysteries of the world. The truth is out there and when we are ready to know it will all become visible. But until then, if you are thinking about pulling a hoax in order to become popular or famous…think again. Maybe you should focus your skills on something more constructive in order to acheive fame and wealth…check out this video and some of the related videos and enjoy. For the real researchers out there, keep those cameras rolling LIKE A MOFO!
Weather Apocalypse?
How many of you have seen the movie, “The Day After Tomorrow” which came out in 2004? Good movie! Interesting story line and cool special effects. It
"The Day After Tomorrow" -2004 Release
was about a Paleoclimatologist, named Jack Hall, who stumbled onto the cause of a sudden climatic change that triggered a new ice age that quickly affects the entire northern hemisphere. The movie goes on to show examples of what a sudden climate change could do on a global scale. It started with a series of freak, powerful tornadoes that ravaged Los Angels, basket ball sized hail that destroys entire cities, floods in New York City, deep freeze in Scotland and England…and the list of weather related catastrophe goes on! It was a good, entertaining movie and a lot of people took it for just that. Not many people believe that the climate change could have such a sudden effect on our world as the movie portrayed. This may be true, but don’t forget…Hollywood only had 124 minutes to tell the story!
In real life, a drastic climate change could take years or even centuries. But the effects can be seen immediately. Such as an increase in deadly tornadic activity, severe flooding, wild temperature changes and active hurricane seasons. Now, I’m not much of a believer in premonitions and such, but has anyone stopped to compare the similarities of “The Day After Tomorrow” to what is happening with our weather today? I think you know where I’m heading now! Sometimes art does imitate life and this may be one such case! Now don’t get me wrong…global warming is bullshit! Man could not have even come close to destroying a planet within 100 years of industrialization…I just don’t buy that. However, the planet has it’s own agenda and it doesn’t care if we are here or not. Every 100,000 years or so, there seems to be evidence of climate change and some form of ice age. The last estimated ice age or glacial period was 110,000 years ago. I’m no mathematician or scientist but to me, that means we are over due!
Global warming is mainly just a ploy devised by politicians with an agenda designed to please the tree hugging factions around the world. After all, if everyone is afraid of man made global climate change…anything can be rammed down our throats! Tree huggers get what they want, politicians get paid with money and more votes and we get a constant list of things that we can’t do anymore! The fact is that it is a natural cycle of the Earth that is affecting our weather. There is nothing we can do about it. We are just guests on this rock and we have to live by it’s rules. The tree huggers just like to make it their business to to take credit for the weather apocalypse!
Tornado
Unlike the movie…the climate change will not have such sudden affects on our lives. There will be deadly tornadoes as we have seen recently in the Mid West Outbreak, Joplin and Springfield. There will be an increase in destructive hurricanes this season as reports have already indicated. Global temperatures may rise a few degrees and I’m sure there will be more flooding across the United States and other countries. But there won’t be sudden sub zero deep freezes or 100 foot snow falls. Not yet anyway. We will have time to adapt to the changing weather and we will survive as a species. The big difference between us and early mankind is that we have technology to help us survive. Early man had fur loin cloths and animal hide tents to live in. Not good for surviving the elements! We have the ability to build structures that can withstand tornadoes, hurricanes and arctic cold. We can also grow food indoors and we have tools to predict what is coming in advance. In my opinion, that gives us better than average odds for survival in comparison to our prehistoric ancestors!
So, go out this weekend and rent “The Day After Tomorrow” and enjoy the show. Implement ways to protect yourself and your family from immediate weather danger such as building a storm shelter or packing a bug out kit to take with you to higher ground. Tell congress to go pound sand over global warming! Climate change is natural and unstoppable so don’t force us to pay the price for it! We want cars with V8 engines because electric cars suck LIKE A MOFO!
World War III
My generation grew up fearing war with Russia or any of the other many communist factions that had Russia pulling the puppet strings. Movies like Red Dawn and Rambo helped bring the possibility of World War III to our front doorsteps. But after the Soviets restructured their country and took a somewhat less aggressive role in the World Superpower game, we started to feel safe and secure. After all, what other country besides the USSR could take on the United States of America? Well, what about China? Yes, China! I’ve often told my friends and family that China was the country that we have to watch out for. Not only are we dependent on them financially, but with over 1.3 billion people and well equipped nuclear military, they could over run the USA’s measly 300 million population in no time or they could push the button and microwave us to a crisp. If they decided to attack, we could never defend ourselves without resorting to nuclear war and mutually assured destruction.
“OK, so yeah…the Chinese out number us and have a strong army and lots of nukes, but why would they ever attack us? They know we are their bread and butter!” Correct,
China-Pakistan Relationship
but, and there is always a but, China is real good friends with Pakistan. and as you know…the United States is not such good friends with Pakistan at the momment! As a matter of fact, Obama seems like he is doing everything he can to piss Pakistan off even more. They are already mad about the secret mission we pulled off in their territory that resulted in the elimination of bin Laden. This is fine with me and most of America, but the Pakistani’s don’t appreciate the gloating and blatant arrogance of our leaders over the incident. “Oh well…screw them! We’re the United Fucking States of America, right! What are they gonna do about it?” Again, I agree! Even though Pakistan is a blossoming nuclear power, they are not much of a threat to the mainland USA. However, their good pals over in the People’s Republic of China may have a different perspective of this whole situation.
As Obama and his band of merry men plan an inevitable attack on Pakistan, China has already warned than any attack will be perceived as an act of aggression against Beijing. In plain terms, this is bad. Real Bad. World War III bad! Here is a really interesting article to back up my allegations: US, Pakistan Near Open War; Chinese Ultimatum Warns Washington Against Attack. China has asked the US to honor Pakistan’s sovereignty in the aftermath of the Bin Laden operation. This blunt warning represents the first known strategic ultimatum received by the United States in half a century, going back to Soviet warnings during the Berlin crisis of 1958-1961, and indicates the grave danger of general war growing out of the US-Pakistan confrontation.
Mushrooms are good on pizza but not Pittsburgh!
According to other comments in the article linked above, Obama has already approved sneak attacks on Pakistan’s Nuclear capabilities. If China is planning on baking up what they say and Obama is really as stupid as we all think…then we may be in for a bump ride folks! Does “Duck and Cover” ring a bell? We are putting the fate of the country and the world in the hands of Obama. I didn’t vote for him, but I’m sure no one voted for him to make the United States a cop to the world. The US needs to start staying out of other country’s business and start worrying about our own business! Apologize to Pakistan for the bin Laden operation, thank them for understanding our position and get the fuck out of the area! Hell, lets get the fuck out of the middle east all together while we at it! We have no obligation to spread democracy and freedom to these 3rd world shit heads that don’t want it anyway! I totally support our troops and all their efforts but I am tired of them being put in harms way just to play police to the rest of the ungrateful world.
So there you have it. We are probably as close to World War III as we have ever been, the outcome is in the hands of an incompetent, bull headed president and the mainstream media has buried the entire story and decided that Oprah’s retirement is a more important news story! I don’t mind picking a fight LIKE A MOFO, but not one that could lead to global thermonuclear war!
Drug Screening for Welfare Recipients
Maybe there is some home hope for this country after all! I just read a wonderful article on CNN that made my morning! “Florida governor signs welfare drug-screen measure”
Here is a blurb from the article:
(CNN) Saying it is “unfair for Florida taxpayers to subsidize drug addiction,” Gov. Rick Scott on Tuesday signed legislation requiring adults applying for
Florida Gov. Rick Scott
This is something I’ve been talking about for a while now and I am excited to see it come to be! For years now, it is common practice for prospective employee’s to pass a drug screening test as well as random monthly tests for for people holding a commercial driver’s license or CDL. Many other work places have mandatory random drug screening as well. So why is it fair that welfare recipients can get a paycheck from Uncle Sam without any form of drug screening? As a tax payer, I don’t mind helping single parents or families that truly need it but when some crack addicted baby mama keeps popping out kids from 5 different fathers just to keep the checks coming, I call bullshit! It isn’t the kid’s fault that their mama is a crack ho, so there is a provision for them to get the help even if their parent fails the test.
OK, so we all agree that this is a great idea, right!? Wrong…More from CNN’s article:
(CNN) Shortly after the bill was signed, five Democrats from the state’s congressional delegation issued a joint statement attacking the legislation, one calling it “downright unconstitutional.” “Governor Scott’s new drug testing law is not only an affront to families in need and detrimental to our nation’s ongoing economic recovery, it is downright unconstitutional,” said Rep. Alcee Hastings. “If Governor Scott wants to drug test recipients of TANF benefits, where does he draw the line? Are families receiving Medicaid, state emergency relief, or educational grants and loans next?” Rep. Corrine Brown said the tests “represent an extreme and illegal invasion of personal privacy.”"Indeed, investigating people when there is probable cause to suspect they are abusing drugs is one thing,” Brown said in the joint statement. “But these tests amount to strip searching our state’s most vulnerable residents merely because they rely on the government for financial support during these difficult economic times.” Joining in the statement denouncing the measure were Democratic Reps. Kathy Castor, Ted Deutch and Frederica Wilson.Hmmm…imagine that! The Democrats don’t like Gov. Scott’s new bill! What the hell is wrong with these people! The government is pissing away billions of dollars in welfare to people who don’t deserve it! No surprise that the Democrats and left wing liberals are all for frivolous spending! Just look at some of the pork Obama spread around with his infamous bail out spending. Absolutely disgusting and every citizen should be up in arms! Republicans may not have all the answers and granted, some are just as bad as the Dem’s but at least they want to cut back spending, get people off of government aid and get this country back into the black! If meth addicts and crack whores don’t like it, I guess it is time for them to move to California or one of the other socialist states that want to support and nourish America’s bottom feeders! Personally, I’d like to congratulate Gov. Scott and the people of Florida for doing the right thing and I hope that many more states soon follow suite! To the scum bags upset by this new bill…get a freaking job, get off the meth and be a responsible citizen!
Well, every President want's his picture on some form of money!
Maybe we should take this even further…drug screening for driver license applicants, medicare recipients and high risk loans. Require regular piss tests for paroled and released convicts for their lifetime! If we can’t keep drugs out of this country, lets make people accountable for using them! And to the Democrats…if you ain’t part of the solution then you’re part of the problem! It’s time to turn up the heat on these people LIKE A MOFO!
