Creditable Sources - Child's Lunch Confiscated
Well here’s a case in point. Winston comments rather emotionally today on the confiscation of a 4-year old’s lunch at school. Concurrently I get the chain email on the same subject from my conservative connection, which instantly throws up a red flag.
The email links to a website http://www.frc.org/washingtonupdate/failure-to-lunch-school-quits-parents-cold-turkey that rants about a food inspector seizing the kid’s lunch and replacing it with chicken nuggets. The email indicates that this happened in North Carolina but doesn’t get any more specific than that. However, the linked website mentions West Hoke Elementary School and when you google that, you get a link to the following website http://www.fayobserver.com/articles/2012/02/16/1157653?sac=fo.local .
This is the fayobserver.com newspaper website and it reports on the incident a bit more objectively. Seems an agent from the Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Child Development and Early Education was at the school and inspected the students’ lunches. The inspector determined that the little girl’s lunch did not meet the standards but denies taking the lunch (other reports are that the kid brought the lunch home uneaten and that is how the parent got wind of the deal). The kid ate a lunch provided to her for free by the school – there was no billing the parent. Now I can easily see where a 4-year old might pick chicken nuggets over a turkey and cheese sandwich. I can also see where a 4-year old could misunderstand what happened to her. What is easier, at least for me, is to check things like this out online before passing on the rumor with added indignation and emotional charge.
BTW, I tend to get wrapped up in my responses and fail to take on my LION persona every time I send in a post, but I think you know it is me. And don’t think that I am a progressive – I just don’t like to see manipulation in action, whether it comes from the left or the right.

FACTS AND OPINIONS
Let's face it, progressive liberals simply don't want other people to have "opinions". They only want people to repeat talking points and bumper sticker slogans, and to simply assume that information provided by the government and the left wing media are the only credible sources of information. To think that .gov and .edu sites don't contain any manipulated data (or admission of data) is niave enough on its own, especially considering how many progressive liberals are employed who work at these places. Furthermore, assuming that there actually are "independent, objective sources", it would seem impossible that these people wouldn't hold any opinions themselves or ever have those opinions influence their work in some way, shape, or form, whether being concious of it or not.
The reference to Alan Colmes is quite telling, and shows a great example of liberal media bias, by using typical liberal tactics to drown out their opponents. The left is full of such people who fail to give any consideration to valid arguments that oppose their own, even when there are clear facts to disprove them in many cases. Furthermore, facts alone don't always make an argument credible on themselves, without the understanding of "why" certain facts are being presented in the first place while others are being omitted, or even understanding the underlying motives behind using them. Quite often, a debate or argument goes much deeper than simply facts alone as a basis for it. Oftentimes, the facts don't represent "other areas of importance" that may be critical in the grand scheme of things overall. Common sense and logic are also other things to consider, sometimes despite what "the facts" are. Sometimes reading or presenting facts is nothing more than reading headlines. Without further understanding through various opinions, facts alone can often be misleading. Some facts are undeniable, while others can be subject to interpretation. As far as your responses being tainted by the works others, if they aren't strong enough to hold up to debate, then perhaps they are simply wrong to begin with.

While We're On the Subject of School Lunches
This link to a USA Today article is quite interesting. According to this newspaper, children in select Pueblo, Colorado schools are given free breakfasts without regard to income. This is done to achieve “President Obama's campaign pledge to end childhood hunger by 2015”, and to remove any stigma that accepting the free food might generate. This is a school district where 72% of the children qualify on the basis of income! The other 18% get fed free so the others’ self-esteem won’t be damaged.
http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2010-09-14-1Aschoolbreakfast14_CV_N.htm
This article was published in September of 2010. The content of the Pueblo City School District web site seems to confirm the story http://www.pueblocityschools.us/modules/cms/pages.phtml?pageid=23860
because there is a list of schools prefaced by the statement “Children attending one of the below listed schools will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge”.
I realize that we are a long way from Pueblo, but this attitude that the “poor” are entitled to eat exists through-out the country. I was asked to contribute food items to be distributed to “needy” families in Fulton one Thanksgiving. We were encouraged to donate microwave-ready items rather than fresh vegetables or ingredients for a Thanksgiving meal since the recipients would be unlikely to cook them and the food would be thrown out. How absurd is that? I’m reminded of the immigrant family in the Syracuse area that was given a frozen turkey for their holiday meal. They were dumbfounded as to how to cook it and ended up boiling it.
Prof Tom, asked the question “How are we to deal with the growing poverty in this country?” My first reaction was “What poverty?” I seriously doubt that any child goes to bed hungry unless he or she is a victim of neglect. I don’t see many kids running around with symptoms of starvation; on the contrary, most kids appear to be morbidly obese. Poverty is a fluid concept. As Charles J. Sykes says, “We’re a nation of haves and have-less, not have-nots”.

Public Parking
When I get on the Pall-Times' weather cam, I see a motor home parked over at the Cahill/Coleman property location. I didn't pay any attention at first, thinking someone in the area had visitors. Since at least last October, it has never moved. Is this lot public parking for fishermen and walkers? If not, a charge to park there, say $100 a month, would be money in the city's coffers, would it not?

That is probably one of the heroes. Do not say anything or next thing you know the mayor will be giving him a special hero award. Now would probably be a good time to ask our new mayor if he is going to do anything about the city webcam. Surely they could find a thousand bucks somewhere, like from all that money we make off the ambulance service, to replace the camera on city hall. Actually the old one might not be broken. The biggest problem with it was anyone could see all the drunks tearing up downtown four nights a week. Randi didn't like that. You know if no one sees the problem then the problem doesn't really exist.
Peace Contra Republicans
I try to stay away from the Democrat-Republican squabble over how to best serve the top 1 percent. Both parties are plutocratic and corporate to the core.
But a few things just have to be said about the Republican Party and its supporters. The Republican Party in the United States is a disgusting political formation. Republican politicians at the national level serve the exclusive interests of the richest fraction of one percent of the population. In a democratic society, instead of a society ruled by wealth, the Republican political agenda would get less than one percent of the vote.
Now that assumes an educated population. Jefferson and other classic democratic theorists wrote of the necessity of actively engaged and well-informed citizens. We don't have that in the United States. We have lunatics like Doc Bill foaming at the mouth regurgitating right-wing, corporate media and really believing it to be "the truth." Half the people in this country are as dumb as Doc Bill or dumber. Masses of stupid white people and a whole s***load of corporate money and media control are how Republicans buy American "elections." The median income in Oswego is about $28,000/year. Republicans shouldn't run this place yo. People who work in the Republican Party, make careers through connections with Republicans, articulate right-wing views that serve the richest fraction of one percent while hurting friends and relatives, and go through the despicable life-motion of being and identifying as a Republican should really rethink their lives starting today. Republicans are responsible more than any other human group for the climate disaster that is coming regardless of what Doc Bill posts in his lunatic world of climate change denial. Republicans are responsible more than any other human group for war, for selling weapons that fuel other wars, for selling weapons to keep the world militarized and on the brink of war, for building and perfecting nuclear terror weapons thereby encouraging other regimes to develop nucear weapons, and for making sure that fewer and fewer Americans benefit from that glorious global arrangement called Pax Americana. F*** the Republican Party! F*** Republicans! And F*** the ownership class of the United States of
America! I am the American people and I will have my vengeance!

That 28,000 figure is really skewed. If you factored in all the people who are drawing a pension from one public sector job while working at a second public sector job and all of those public employees who are running private businesses from their public places of employment then you would probably be looking at a figure around 22K - 24K. In Oswego County probably 80% of the public sector jobs are
controlled by the Republicans. When they retire from one public job they get another one. The only way they get out of the system is when they die and then the job goes to one of their relatives. These greedy S.O.Bs are living in the lap of luxury and excess while other poor bastards are praying for the weather to change so they can make a couple bucks shoveling snow. Living in Oswego county and not belonging to the Republican machine is as close to white slavery as you will ever get.
New Mayor?
I take for granted, our new Mayor must be related to the old mayor no-balls! What was the count, at the common council last night? PER: Mc Grath? Yes, I know I could attend those meetings, but why? I gave them up a few yrs back when we TRIED to fight city hall! I feel so sorry for the Sr.'s in St. Lukes apt. They not only got woke up last night with the NOISE from WATER ST, now they will have AMPLFIED music from McGraths. Our City is seeing a lot of NEW buildings being turned into very nice apartments, because "PEOPLE" want to live downtown! These people that can afford these very nice places, are NOT the ones that will be ATTENDING McGraths ALLEY! These people are WORKING People! Hard working people! They are not out in the BARS during the week! They try to SLEEP for work the next day! Come on Oswego, WAKE UP!

That is where you are wrong. This is not a sleeping or enjoying ones own property kind of city. Rather it is about partying, public urination, drugs, alcohol, gambling, public corruption, child molesting, rape, murder, burglary, fraud, extortion etc. In Oswego life liberty and the pursuit of happiness means the right to do all the above at the expense of those few who actually obey the law. As for our new mayor yes I believe you are correct in assuming he is a member of the camel toe club.
Figured it Out
Miles moved downtown to be closer to the Sting and the Club House to do work under the table. He's done this for years even for the land lords. Really kept it quiet when he was living at Hamilton Homes. Unreported income. Now I see he is walking maybe he got a DWI for riding his bike.

RE: Credible Sources
We are not so different when it comes down to basics. I have no idea who is sending you racial things about Obama but they certainly aren't from any of the Conservative sources I have used or to which I refer. Obama's race is not part of the equation for us though race is an integral part of everything progressives do and say. I have posted about this obsession of theirs often from Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger early in the century to the democrat led KKK from its beginning in 1865 too its latest incarnation, the black codes and legalized segregation and the rest. Late last year someone posted a veritable history of the Republican fight for civil rights against the democrats here. I suggest you check the archives if you missed it.
The vast majority of progressives never read anything that opposes their views and beliefs. They stick with what I call the ObamaMedia as strongly as any religious fanatic to his beliefs. They never see the outright manipulation of the news that happens right before they eyes and ears. Long ago I realized that I had more in common with the lone Republican/Conservative on a panel with 3 or more democrat/liberal/progressive stooges. I agreed more with the few words that lone individual could get in than everything all the rest had to say. That is one of the things that got me doing my own research which eventually changed me from a mushy moderate to a staunch Conservative.
Today's progressives hate Fox News seeing it as nothing more than a tool for Republicans. However, they cannot see the lock-step reporting that occurs on the other networks as if they are all reading from the same script. Now we find out that Media Matters seems to have a giant hand in what happens at NBC and the White House and that little George Stephanopolis has been and always will democrat operative posing as a neutral journalist. He was never the latter as anyone who can think for himself realized from the beginning. Just look at how he presented himself and the questions he used in the one debate. Similar antagonism can bee seen in the actions of many other "reporters" when they interview Republican/Conservatives if you bother to look and think. Never would these people ask the same type of questions in the same attacking manner of democrat/progressives.
There were a couple of progressives on here who tried to convince us that the ObamaMedia is really all Conservative. It is laughable when you have paid attention for as long as I have but too many never think for themselves and believe such crap. Like the poor, deluded soul who finds my referring to George Soros as an anti-capitalist humorous. He obviously knows nothing of Soros. Sure, Soros is a multi-billionaire who made all his money as a result of capitalism. However, that only makes one wonder why he supports all those socialist causes. He is a major contributor to Media Matters and many other progressives organizations that want nothing to do with what America stands for. Soros got his but he'll be damned if anyone else will be allowed to get theirs. The is basically how the American tax system works too! The rich lawmakers set it up so the rest of us have the hardest time possible making out fortunes. Anyway, I have to assume that Soros believes that with his resources he will be able to control any of the socialists who eventually take over America and every place else.
Socialism has failed every time it has been tried. Capitalism made America great and provided the greatest benefits for the greatest number of people in the world. Read the article in the link below and learn the truth of how capitalism has been man's best friend. Read also how Soros, though the facade of his "Center for American Progress" has been pushing the AGW fraud undoubtedly in the hope of making more billions by being on the right side of any decisions that are made. Soros has his hands in many pies and seldom loses money. He is literally a man who has destroyed countries with his tactics. He manipulated markets and money to his benefit. He hates individualism and freedom for anyone but himself and he loathes the notion that any group of people or country will be able to freely engage in commerce without him getting a part of it.

County jail expansion
The Pal Times article by aaron indicated the county will pursue an expansion of cell space. In a country that fell in love with Ronald Reagan's Tough on Crime siren song, we already have jailed 1 out of 32 citizens. States are closing prison's because federal cutbacks make the numbers unsustainable. There exists in this country an unholy alliance of law enforcement officers, the media and politicians which ever greater restrictions on citizen conduct. These laws are sold through fear mongering and the sympathy generated by tragic examples generally involving children. In truth we have a prison industry in America that seeks to sustain itself.

Syracuse Basketball Team - Ranked #2
The Best Story of the Year:
The pastor asked if anyone in the congregation would like to express praise for answered prayers. Suzie Smith stood and walked to the podium. She said, "I have a praise. Two months ago, my husband, Tom, had a terrible bicycle wreck and his scrotum was completely crushed.
The pain was excruciating and the doctors didn't know if they could help him." You could hear a muffled gasp from the men in the congregation as they imagine the pain that poor Tom must have experienced. "Tom was unable to hold me or the children," she went on, "and every move caused him terrible pain."
We prayed as the doctors performed a delicate operation, and it turned out they were able to piece together the crushed remnants of Tom's scrotum, and wrap wire around it to hold it in place." Again, the men in the congregation cringed and squirmed uncomfortably as they imagined the horrible surgery performed on Tom.
"Now," she announced in a quivering voice, "thank the Lord, Tom is out of the hospital and the doctors say that with time, his scrotum should recover completely." All the men sighed with unified relief. The pastor rose and tentatively asked if anyone else had something to say.
A man stood up and walked slowly to the podium.
He said, "I'm Tom Smith ."
The entire congregation held its breath.
"I just want to tell my wife the word is "sternum."

Obama’s Chief of Staff Lies, Lies, Lies about the Budget
As usual this progressive lies in an effort to deceive the people who don't but should know better. Jack Lew was on the Sunday shows telling everybody that it is the Republicans who are holding up the budget in the Senate. He said that it takes 60 votes to pass the budget and since there are only 51 democrats they cannot do it without Republicans coming on board. However the reality is that it only takes 50 votes to pass the budget. Now, even you simple minded progressives can easily tell that 51 is greater than 50 so there is no excuse for Harry Reid and his do nothing democrats. Of course, reality is non existent for progressives so these facts do not matter. It is still the Republicans' fault that there is no budget.

Creditable Sources (Doc Bill)
I guess the long and the short of it is that I object to the use of the term “follow this link to learn the truth”. The links lead to arguments for or against a particular position and some arguments are quite compelling – the ones you provided today, for example. However, they are opinions and should be presented as such unless they are founded in fact that can be verified by independent, objective sources. I would consider a website with an .edu or .gov extension as more reliable than one with a .com or .org extension. At the same time, I think that blogs are more likely to present opinion than fact.
To be honest with you, I have skipped over a good many of your posts and your links because early on because the links led to little more than right wing rhetoric. Today, you provided a link to an essay by Rich Kozlovich. In his discussion, Koslovich referred to a tactic of progressives, specifically used by Alan Colmes in which he “wouldn’t stop talking, he interrupted, he talked over everyone, he subtly changed the subject and spewed out logical fallacies by the minute”. I have seen this myself and perhaps the worst offender is Diane Rehm on NPR. Whenever a caller is making a good point that contradicts her preconceived notion, the telephone connection suddenly has a problem or it’s “Oh my! Look at the time”. On the other hand, conservatives seem to misquote, distort, misrepresent or embellish in order to further their agenda. I receive what seems like a daily barrage of emails that deplore Obama for his race, question his qualification for the presidency, question his academic credentials, and for the most part these emails are false or misleading. Unfortunately, my response to your ideas is often tainted by the works of others. A kind of “profiling” I guess.
As I have said before, there is plenty not to like about the Democrats. Let me throw out an example. Remember the “Cash for Clunkers” program? How logical was it to give taxpayer money away to people who traded in their functioning used cars for new ones and then to crush the trade ins? Was this an ecological or economic move or was it payback to the United Auto Workers? How about the stimulus money? Did it create any sustained jobs or did they all dissipate when the Federal funds ran out? How about the many “green energy” initiatives? Are they designed to solve our energy problems and dependence on foreign oil or are they designed to benefit campaign contributors? Why do we worry ourselves sick over Obama’s parents’ citizenships while the Democratic wheels grind away funneling money to special interests and promoting general dependence on government?

Whatever your vendetta, you have ranted about it for a long time now, can’t you move on to a different subject? What is with the ‘MOM’ crap? You know, if you can’t change something you have to let it go. It is what it is. If you have a real and serious tale to tell, with specific names, dates, or something that is a waste of the New York SUNY System resources, or refer to fraud or corruption, put it in detail and sent it to the New York State Department of the Attorney General. In fact that site will direct you to the State Comptroller’s office for what seems to be (does anyone really know?) your particular issue. Here, I will help you out: (you can even do this anonymously).

"Frequent Flyers"
I read where a couple of vagrants – oops, homeless men – in a California city were transported to a local hospital , one of them 710 times and the other 653 times, in 2011 alone. Do the math and you see that was almost twice a day! The cost to the services is valued in excess of $500,000. The ambulance company (ambulance service is privatized there) is afraid of law suits if they fail to make the runs. Seems to me, they should be transported to the city jail and held there for their own welfare. This is but one face of free medical services. It’s like going to the Ponderosa and eating ten plates of food because it is “all you can eat”. Want to know why health care costs so much, Prof Tom?

1812 + Quilts + Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway
International Cultural Heritage Showcase March 17-18
Great Lakes Seaway Trail, NY and PA – On March 17 and 18 the New York State 1812 Heritage Community of Sackets Harbor, NY, will recreate its claim on history with a unique showcase event - the Great Lakes Seaway Trail National Scenic Byway War of 1812 Bicentennial Quilt Show.
The event includes an exhibit of 1812 period-true quilts newly-made made by individuals, quilting guilds, historical societies, and reenactors from 18 US states and from Canada. Three historic sites and living history interpreters and quilters in period dress will lend an historic ambiance to the event.
The former Union Hotel, a three-story limestone structure built in 1817-18 and now the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Discovery Center; the Sackett Mansion built in 1801; and the Samuel F. Hooker House Arts Center, c.1808, will open 10am to 5pm each day with displays of “cot-to-coffin-sized” quilts.
“The “cot-to-coffin-sized” quilts - made to cover a sleeping or deceased soldier - promise a most unique and dramatic display, along with the interpreters in period costume lending to the 1812 authentic atmosphere throughout our 1812 Heritage Community,” says Show Manager Lynette Lundy-Beck.
Lundy-Beck is a project manager with Seaway Trail, Inc., the not-for-profit organization promoting quilting as a cultural heritage travel theme along with other theme-based (natural history and birding, architecture, agriculture, water recreation, geocaching. . .) tourism opportunities along the 518 miles of St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes shoreline in New York and Pennsylvania.
The show guidelines for size, fabrics – linsey-woolsey, silk, and fancy cottons, etc., colors, quilt patterns, and embellishments such as broderie perse (Persian embroidery) were developed by Seaway Trail, Inc. in concert with American quilt historian Barbara Brackman of Lawrence, Kansas.
1812 and English Regency period living history interpreters lending atmosphere in the exhibit buildings and on the village streets will include “President James Madison,” and members of Forsyth’s Rifles with the Fort La Presentation Association of Ogdensburg, NY; MacKay’s Militia from Genesee Country Village and Museum, Mumford, NY; and the Sackets Harbor Battlefield Alliance.
Quilters have been invited to also attend in period dress.1812 period reenactor Ted Schofield will exhibit his early 19th century reproduction sewing implements.
The event’s youngest quiltmaker is a 12-year-old girl from Himrod, NY.
The living history ladies of Upper Canada Village researched and designed a pictorial quilt with embroidery and appliqué depicting soldiers, Natives, moose, and a sailing ship bordered by a traditional Irish Chain pattern.
DeAnne Rosen of Lawrence, Kansas, has dedicated her quilt to her two great-great-great grandfathers and two great-great-great uncles who fought in the war. Her floral work is based on quilts she saw in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England.
A special memorial exhibit of quilts will pay tribute to the late Seaway Trail, Inc. President and CEO Teresa Mitchell, who developed the concept for the Seaway Trail scenic byway and for quilting as a cultural heritage travel theme along that byway.
The event also features quilting demonstrations and vendors.
The $5 show admission benefits the Seaway Trail Foundation. The show is co-sponsored by Orleans County Tourism and the 22-mile Country Barn Quilt Trail loop off the Great Lakes Seaway Trail to barns painted with quilt block patterns.

First, thank you for your service to this country.
I guess the whole point of this is that you have a problem with some, if not all, of my sources. You certainly took the long way around the barn as The Duke used to say. I have to assume you were absent when I explained all of that. I will not go into details now, you can look it up in the archives if you are interested. In short I use those article which contain facts, data and information that support my understanding and opinions which have been shaped by my education and life experience. I also refer to the opinions of others which coincide with mine. I do not take the time to explain the difference between facts, data, information and opinions and leave that up to the reader to figure out. I do know that progressives are largely incapable of telling the difference between and among these things and usually end up saying that opinions are lies. An opinion is a personal interpretation of all the facts, data and information. It is not and cannot be a lie though it can be so disconnected from the facts, data and information that it has nothing to do with reality. Then it takes on the characteristics of a religious belief.
Your statement about "credible research" has me wondering what you mean. Do you find those items to which I link that oppose AGW to be questionable? Do you find those items to which I link that show the failures of socialized medicine to be questionable? Do you find one, two or more errors in the items to which I link and therefore dismiss the whole item? Do you expect me to only use, ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Media Matters, Huff and Stuff Post, the NYT, the Washington Post and other supposed news sources which I lump under the heading of the ObamaMedia?
We recently have been told that Media Matters, heavily funded by anti-American and anti-capitalist George Soros, controls NBC and have significant influence with the White House. As far as I am concerned, these ObamaMedia sources ceased any connection to real journalism in 2008 with their blind, fanatical support for Obama without knowing anything about him. Remember, they dumped a hoard of reporters into Alaska to get the dirt on Sarah Palin and yet did not have even one real journalist investigate Obama. There is still a great void in Obama's background especially concerning his academic credentials.
I have linked to items in all of those sources when they have random acts of journalism but as I have said so often one has to investigate both sides of the issues and you only get one side from them. Therefore most of my sources will be from those right of center people and organizations that progressives love to hate. Regardless of the source I use I expect the reader to think about what is presented and eventually add things up as no one item or source contains everything one needs to know. That is how one arrives at the truth. The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth cannot be contained in one and only one article and therefore arriving at the truth is a journey. Pieces of that truth, sometimes only one or two and sometimes many can be found in all of my sources. That is why I always advise all to read, watch and/or listen and learn the truth. The truth can even be found in the opinions of others if one is persistent enough but that is where progressives fall down. They cannot add all these pieces of the truth together and come to the realization that they have been and are being misled.
The article below explores the possibility that leftists do have higher IQ's than we on the right. It obviously takes far more mental gymnastics for leftists to twist all their insane ideas to conform to reality. Those of us on the right do not go through these mental shenanigans as we believe in right and wrong. For us one plus one is always two but for the left it is whatever you want it to be. The left ignores that reality and comes up with creative math which allows any answer to be the correct one. They do the same with creative English, creative history, creative legislation, and on and on.

Why Liberals Cling to Socialist Principles In Spite Of Evidence Against Socialism
Here is an article that explains the progressive persistence in trying to do that which always fails. This is part nine of a ten part series. After finishing my previous post regarding academic credentials I thought that it would fit in here very nicely.
At the end of this part there are links to the previous parts and I would highly recommend everyone read part 8 which explains how the left hope to control everybody and everything. I have previously posted part 5 about socialism's fundamental flaw and I will revisit this series when it is complete. For now, read this part and learn the truth.

Oh, for crying out loud,
tax the rich and distribute the wealth! Have you ever been on the docks of San Diego to look at all the yachts birthed, tied up and unused?? It would make you sick. The very rich, many with a yacht in every harbor, simply don't have time to use them all! So there they sit, like buoyant trophies in the sun. The very rich won't miss the taxes, believe me. They've long since come to the point of no return: Having so much money they can't keep track of it all--jewel ry in vaults, vacations calendared decades into the future, mansions on every continent, pants they'll never wear, cars they'll never drive. Tax the rich, you FOOLS!

Muslims demanding revolution, Shariah law
I believe Hitler one said something to the effect that wherever a German soldier has stepped no other shall place his foot. Remembering that muslims were very closely associated with the Nazis we find them desirous of regaining their maximum expansion, at least at first.
Muslims once circled the Mediterranean and controlled much of North Africa and Southern Europe from Spain to the Balkans to India and they want it back. Though that is their primary objective they are making inroads around the world. Once they solidify their hold on their old stomping grounds, by stomping everyone there into submission, they'll increase their efforts to islamicize the world. Non-muslims can stay as long as they pay their special tax, obey all muslims and wear special identifying clothing in addition to whatever the muslim slave masters decide.

re: PROFESSOR TOM'S CONFUSION
Feeling a need to constantly "remind people" how intellectually superior one is with daily submissions is quite different than reminding people of your academic credentials on a daily basis. I can't help it if I happen to have a lot of various opinions (as well as facts) and a desire to present them. However, your constant "reminder" that you are "a Professor" would seem to indicate that YOU are the one who feels a need to constantly "remind people" that you are intellectually superior, not me.

Academic Credentials
I would be happy to share my academic credentials with you, Doc Bill. I was awarded an Associate of Arts degree from Auburn Community College, the predecessor to Cayuga Community College, in 1962. In the spring of 1963, I transferred to SUCO in their liberal arts program. At the end of the spring 1964 semester, I was academically disqualified, having spent a great deal of time at Buckland Hall in the pursuit of “wine, women and song, easy on the song”. As you may be aware, in 1964 there was a military draft and, having lost my college deferment, I enlisted in the USAF. As the Syracuse University TV ads say, “life got in the way” and I spent 25 years in the military, retiring as a CMSgt (E-9). I returned to SUNY-Oswego and, in 2005, I was awarded a bachelors of arts degree.
I make no excuses for my educational background – I flunked out because of my lack of maturity and direction and because, in those days, you either cut the mustard or you were out. Interestingly, in my latter academic experience, I noticed half way through the semester that the professor was conducting mini-conferences with select members of the class. I later learned that those students were being offered extra work to bring their grades up to passing. In the 1960s, that would never have happened.
Therefore, I suppose, equally important in evaluating educational background is the time frame in which it occurred.
I did learn, way back in my freshman year, that to be creditable, an opinion or assertion should be researched and sourced. I was somewhat amazed to read your interpretation of creditable research and I am interested to know what institution of higher learning operates by those rules. As you suspect, I would value a degree from Harvard, Cornell, MIT, or Stanford a bit higher than I would a degree awarded by the University of Phoenix.
Over the years, I have also learned that many of the more successful and wise people I have encountered did not benefit from formal education. At the same time, I discovered that many well educated people have little or no practical or common sense. It totally amazes me that people will deny that capitalism is innate to human nature in the face of compelling evidence that it is. Even the participants of the “occupy” movement are exhibiting capitalistic tendencies in that they are pursuing maximum benefit with minimal personal exertion – the very trait that they claim to deplore.

re: Oswego's Faux Noise Ordinance
Well said Mr. Harrington. I appreciated your service on the Council and I value your opinions and observations regarding local politics. A couple of days ago, someone was bemoaning the quality of the candidates for the Republican nomination for President. The question was implied “why doesn’t a better person step forward”? I would ask you, would you seek election to the City Council again and subject yourself to the constant belittling and name-calling, to the frustration of trying to move the City forward in the face of special interests who are plenty happy to pillage and deplete the community for personal gain? Everybody that reads your post and agrees with it needs to bend the ear of their representative on the Council and of the mayor.

What's happening with the infamous Reid case?
Probably still sweeping info under the concrete floor. Seems like the teachers, super, board and police play "Ring Around the Rosey" all the time, never breaking their chain. Maybe this time they will all fall down as they should. Politics, politics, politics. This town smells of politics. I am sure nothing drastic will come out of this, another negative situation that Reid has put himself in. I get a kick out of the news reports that say "He has been suspended from coaching but retains his teaching position......wrong. He should be totally GONE. Maybe they will ask for his retirement papers. One can only hope.

First you scare ‘em, then you snare ‘em – how the UEA treats 13 and 14 year olds
Get to them while they're young and impressionable. This is how every tyrant has indoctrinated the young to his cause and taken control. Of course, those of us with much better intentions do the same thing but there is a difference. When the tyrants indoctrinate the young they do not give them the opportunity to think and reason for themselves with all of the available information. The tyrant limits what the young are told and distorts everything to meet his goals. We free thinkers provide the young with all of the information from both sides and allow them to arrive at their own conclusions based upon then information and facts.

If the officials don't worry about the property owners that live in the area near all the noise is then why keep building new condo's.These people are putting a lot of money into improving these old buildings, who in the hell will want to pay the rent that is being charged,and have to live with noise half the night. All so what about the people that live in that area that have jobs. The hell with them also they can go to work with no sleep.Our officials only have to worry about the Club House and The Sting.

Riding The Bus
As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was
too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus.
Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smile to the bus driver, she reached behind her to
unzip her skirt a little, thinking that this would give her enough slack to raise her leg.
She tried to take the step, only to discover that she still couldn't.
So, a little more embarrassed, she once again reached behind her to unzip her skirt a
little more, and for the second time attempted the step.
Once again, much to her chagrin, she could not raise her leg. With a smile to the driver, she
again reached behind to unzip a little more and again was unable to take the step.
About this time, a large Texan who was standing behind her, picked her up easily by
the waist and placed her gently on the step of the bus.
She went ballistic and turned to the would be good Samaritan and yelled, "How dare
you touch my body! I don't even know who you are!"
The Texan smiled and drawled, "Well ma'am, normally I would agree with you, but after you unzipped my fly three
times, I kinda figured we was friends."

redneck valentine cards
Kudzu is green,
My dog’s name is Blue
And I’m so lucky,
To have a sweet thang like you.
Your hair is like cornsilk,
A-flappin’ in the breeze.
Softer than Blue’s,
And without all them fleas.
You move like the bass,
Which excite me in May.
You ain’t got no scales,
But I luv you anyway.
You have all your teeth,
For which I am proud;
I hold my head high,
When we’re in a crowd.
Still them fellers at work,
They all want to know,
What I did to deserve,
Such a purty, young doe.
Like a good roll of duck tape,
Yo’re there fer yore man,
To patch up life’s troubles,
And stick ‘em in the can.
Yo’re as strong as a four-wheeler,
Racin’ through the mud,
Yet fragile as that sanger,
Named Naomi Judd.
When you hold me real tight,
Like a padded gunrack,
My life is complete;
Ain’t nuttin’ I lack.
Yore complexion, it’s perfection,
Like the best vinyl sidin’.
Despite all the years,
Yore age keeps on hidin’.
And when you get old,
Like a ’57 Chevy,
Won’t put you on blocks,
And let grass grow up heavy.
Me ‘n’ you’s like a Moon Pie,
With a RC cold drank,
We go together,
Like a skunk goes with stank.
Some men, they buy chocolate
For Valentine’s Day;
They git it at Wal-mart,
It’s romantic that way.
Some men they buy diamonds
From a flea market booth.
“Diamonds are forever,”
They explain, suave and couth.
But, I got you a gift,
Without taste nor odor,
Better than diamonds…
It’s a new trollin’ motor!

Today's Quote February 13/12
“I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me
and I didn't have the heart to let him down...”

Oswego’s Faux Noise Ordinance
To:
The mayor, city council and citizens of Oswego.
Even as watered down as it was, by Alderperson Cosemento, the noise ordinance enacted by the 2006-2007 city council was better than what we had before, or so it seemed.
In the short time since its inception there have been more exceptions and variances than you could shake a stick at. But then Oswego is a city of many ordinances and laws with never ending exceptions and variances, which are supposedly held in check by complaint driven enforcement. In short they do not mean spit unless someone makes a complaint and in many cases that must be a written and signed complaint.
If we had a dollar for every time someone like Robert and Elizabeth McGrath came to the council citing their spotless record of no complaints or telling us they should get what they want because they are going to create jobs ( barmaids working under the table) then we might very well be able to eliminate property and water taxes altogether. The McGraths are classifying their entertainment and I use that term loosely, as amplified acoustic music and louder amplified music. I can tell you from first hand experience it is all loud and it is all amplified and they do not abide by their agreed times. When they first got a variance it was until 10:00 P.M., which they stretched out until 10:30 and 11:00. Last year I do not know what their time limits were but every night it went on until 1:00 or 1:30 in the morning. As I recall the McGrath’s original request was for one night a week that turned into two and now they want to blast the city four nights a week.
According to the Pall Times article McGrath said he “does not have time to wait for the formation and decision-making process of a government committee.” This was clearly evidenced in 2010-2011 when he was caught building a three-story house where he had gotten a permit for a two-car garage and then tried to lie his way out of it. Any mayor with a set of balls would have fired him then.
There is no need to crank the volume any higher than can be heard within McGrath’s space, which is roughly 33’ X 33’. The sole purpose for the loud and excessive noise created by outdoor and some indoor entertainment in this city is to broadcast their presence over a wide area and hopefully attract people from other parts of town.
No…. I was not notified of the McGraths request and my house is approximately 100’ away from this place. I am opposed to any music on Wednesday and Thursday nights period. Just as I am opposed to any music on Fridays and Saturdays, which can be heard any further than 50 feet from his or any other premises. I intended to oppose this in 2011 because it had gotten way out of control but I was never notified or consulted by the absentee alderwoman and before I realized it was a done deal.
Miles Becker, a local resident who lives in the neighborhood near Spencer’s Ali, said he has no complaints about McGrath’s tavern or The Sting on West Third and Bridge streets. (Pall Times online)
I have known Miles Becker for many years. He is a troubled soul and a fellow Viet Nam Vet. I was very surprised to find out he had moved into my neighborhood. I thought he was still living several blocks away at 85 West bridge St. Had I known he was a new neighbor I would have baked him a cake.
According to the Pall Times, alderman Myers said, “he was not sure if the neighbors were aware” of the McGraths request. However that did not stop his voting to send the request to the council.
Alderman Todd believes “There’s a definitive difference between downtown and some of the residential areas,” Therefore we can assume he believes there is not a difference between downtown and all residential areas. Obviously some residential areas are more important to him than others. Alderman Todd also thinks “no one is going to want to live downtown”.
Hello Alderman Todd!!!! Take off your beer goggles once and a while and you will see the for sale signs all over the city. Oswego has gotten to the point where people do not want to or cannot afford to live anywhere anymore.
Aldermen Walker and Kaplewicz, reminded everyone of the conversations during committee meetings last year about standardizing the entertainment times for requested variances. Yet as is all to often the case in this city when the constituents stop complaining the council and the mayor stop listening and nothing is ever done.
Police Chief Tory DeCaire said. “It doesn’t give them exclusive right to make as much noise as they want to. If we, in our determination when we respond there, deem it to be unreasonable, we have enforcement on that subsection as well.”
While I and many other residents would applaud the difference the chief and his captains have made in the way our police force is run and our city is protected, I would point out that there is a significant flaw in a system where enforcement comes down to the determination or discretion of individual officers especially when they are expected to enforce laws and codes, which in this city seem to change with the weather. As a case in point I would refer to a Sunday night last October when I was awakened at 12:00 midnight by floodlights accompanied by the sounds of power saws and hammering. Despite my protests to the responding officer and references to our so called noise ordinance the perpetrators were allowed to continue because the business where this occurred was open all day long and this was probably the only time when they could do any work. Yes I called the chief the next day. He made no excuses looked into the matter and it was resolved to my satisfaction. However as Alderman Enwright said, “The damage is (was) done,”
This should be the quote of the day but it is just too stupid.
"To make an example of him because we need to make an example is unfair,” Gillen said. “We’ve (granted this variance for him) in the past.”
No, you bleeding heart liberal *******..... in the past he had permission for only two nights a week and he did not keep to the times of those agreed variances. How in the hell you come up with guaranteeing the destruction of the quality of life in my neighborhood as making an example of someone is truly mind-boggling. Why don’t you pull your head out of you’re a$$, and get a haircut. If you do not have what it takes to be a mayor at least try and look the part.
Wednesday through Saturday from 9:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M. I have non-stopped drunk busses loading and unloading in front of my house. “Weather permitting” I can sometimes enjoy my backyard only five days a week and now the McGraths and certain city leaders want to cut that to three days. Well just like Mr. McGrath and his wife I don’t have time to wait for some committee, neither do I. My advice to anyone contemplating voting to further destroy my quality of life and devalue my property would be to think very carefully and ask your self this question.
DO I WANT TO BE THE NEXT RANDY BATEMAN?
Instead of appeasing the bar owners and slumlords I challenge alderman Todd, the mayor and other councilors to do something constructive for a change. All of you have talked about utilizing our water resources at one time or another. Yet we have little or no access to it. Between the Port Authority, Marinas, the raging river and steam station there is hardly any place within the city limits where you can take a kid swimming or fishing, let them dangle their feet in the water or throw stones. Senior citizens, and the disabled not to mention disabled veterans have to pay $100.00 per season to launch a boat at a launch site that is maintained by their tax dollars.
I challenge the mayor and this council to reopen Sheldon’s beach and to work out an agreement with the Port that would clean up and allow the city to manage the area behind Fort Ontario from big rock to the east end of the old Fitzgibbons property and to provide senior and disabled city residents reduced or free access to the boat launch sites, which they paid for.
The City of Fulton has a tried and proven program of housing rehabilitation. They are actively working to clean up their neighborhoods.
I challenge the mayor and this council to adopt a similar program and begin to fulfill the years of empty promises to clean up our neighborhoods.
This city is a hodge-podge of metered, un metered, and broken metered properties. A retired widow living on a fixed income is charged the same rate as a family of eight. It is time everyone paid their fair share. It is time every home and business had a water meter.
I challenge this mayor and this council to phase in a system where all properties are using water meters and that those meters are routinely monitored and kept working properly. This would also reduce waste as well as the cost associated with water and sewage processing. If all the little cities and villages around us can do it why can’t we?
These are three simple things, which will go a long way towards improving this city. The first two require little or no intestinal fortitude. The third only requires a moderate amount. All of them require leadership.
Fulton, Scriba, Oswego Town, and Minetto have the quality of leaders and citizens who can get things done and improve their communities.
I am betting that Oswego does not.
I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG.

Profound Tom
Well, Profound Tom exhibits his profound ignorance once again. I did not say nor imply that I have 10 advanced degrees. That is old PT misreading my statement as he misreads everything else, putting in his own distorted interpretations. He does the same thing with his belief that using "Curriculum Vitae" is a British thing. It just happens to be Latin nothing more, nothing less. Old PT does seem to be anti-British though as he constantly rants about my using British news articles to demonstrate the failure of socialized medicine and other progressives crap such as multiculturalism. Too bad that old PT refuses to learn from the mistakes of others. We all know that he is most likely beyond help and will defend his progressive failures to the bitter end.
As to the originator of this issue, he is still on his hunt to find something in my education that he can discredit. I have no doubt that if I have not attended Harvard, Yale or some other progressively dominated educational institution that my education is worthless as far as he is concerned. Yet he still has not astounded us with his educational background just as Obama hasn't provided us with his. What I have given you will have to suffice. It should be sufficient to demonstrate that I have a very varied education which originally was heavily scientific. Add to that my varied work history and I have covered quite a bit of ground. But, as I said, none of that matters to this guy or any other progressive. All they are doing is attacking me because they cannot attack the truth that I lead them to.
It is standard operating procedure for progressives to attack the qualifications of their opponents when they cannot make headway on the issues. So, since they cannot dispute my truths they attack me thereby hoping to distract everyone from the real issues. It is always the same old story with these progressives.

This conspiracy to violate the rights of law abiding gun owners is a separate crime in itself and demonstrates the progressive willingness to do anything to achieve their agenda goals.

WAS IT ACCOMMODATION OR RECOIL?
The Friday Night Pundits on WCNY had another take on the contraception mandate turned “accommodation” and they may have something. They wonder if perhaps the intent of the first action wasn’t intended to stir up the Far Right and bolster Rick Santorum over Mitt Romney, since Barack Obama would far rather face Santorum in November. At the same time, they were betting on women’s rights proponents to outnumber those that would be upset with the edict. The pundits, and I, don’t think the Obama administration foresaw the furor that the tactic would stir up with the Catholic Church - a furor may not have been placated by the “accommodation”.

Hypocrites
Have you thought it odd that all these priests, cardinals, and such have gotten on the national news overnight when this contraceptive issue was announced? It took decades for these same people to admit that they were aware of and transferring the perverted Roman Catholic priests from parish to parish when they were raping and abusing young children.
These same Roman Catholic officials are aware that their followers are not having sex to procreate. The majority of their faithful uses some type of contraceptive. There aren't but a few of their followers who are financially and emotionally able to have and raise 7-11 children successfully!
These hypocrites aren't allowed to get married or date, but another of their teachings is against self-gratification. Doesn't the Church still preach that these holy men are only men.
Bunch of hypocrites. I've got to agree with you on this one, RINO. The fewer unwanted children that are born into squalor and, especially, neglect, the better.

A wife comes home late at night and quietly opens the door to her bedroom.
From under the blanket she sees four legs instead of two.
She reaches for a baseball bat and starts hitting the blanket as hard as she can.
Once she's done, she goes to the kitchen to have a drink.
As she enters, she sees her husband there, reading a magazine.

A Fundamental Difference
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot
accept money from you , I'm doing community service this week.' The florist
was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a
'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his bill,
the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing
community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank
you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his
bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you. I'm doing
community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the
shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen
Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the
citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.

Me and the Piecenik?
If anybody is confused to think that I have any sympathy whatsoever with the POS, or Prof Tom, Barack Obama and particularly with unions, you got it wrong. I consider myself to be a “moderate” that leans just a tad to the right, which would put me on the same side of the divide that Doc Bill is on.
What I don’t like is having people try to blow smoke up my a** by distorting facts, citing irrelevant examples and portraying opinion as fact in an effort to stir me up in opposition to things that many times don’t even exist. Unlike a lot of people, I try to research this stuff a little before I get all “het up”. It really isn’t that hard to use Google. But you have to be careful what sites you put stock in – generally if it is a .edu or .gov site it is reliable. There is plenty to not like about the Democrats and their front man, Obama, so why manufacture crap about citizenship, death squads, health care rationing, etc.?
I’m reading a pretty good book right now. It is titled “A Nation of Moochers” by Charles J. Sykes. Sykes points out that Americans at all levels are addicted to getting something for nothing, and Doc Bill, in his latest post, makes a good case that is the same way in Europe. In fact, it looks to me like the whole thing may have started there and found its way here. (Funny how some people immigrate to escape things and end up bringing it with them). If we want to see what the ideals of Prof Tom and the POS will lead to, spend some time looking at what is going on in Europe where they’ve been fooling with socialism for a while.
Sykes contends that sooner or later the folks that work hard, play by the rules and provide support to those that don’t will figure out that they are being played for suckers. What then, brown cow?

Students Needed for Aquatic Invasive Species Resource & Watercraft Inspection Program
Oswego, NY – College and graduate students are needed for New York Sea Grant’s new aquatic invasive species (AIS) resource and watercraft inspection education program.
Up to six students will be paid to help educate boaters and the general public about how to slow and prevent the spread of unwanted aquatic species, primarily in Jefferson and Oswego counties.
The work venues for the program include the Salmon River and Little Salmon River, Oneida Lake, Oswego harbor, North Pond, and Henderson Harbor.
The watercraft inspection part of the program is a voluntary educational service for recreational boaters interested in learning how they can prevent the transfer of AIS between bodies of water.
“The Aquatic Invasive Species Resource Educators and Watercraft Inspectors will provide the public with how-to information, answers to their questions about the local ecosystems, and hands-on opportunities to learn how to remove invasive species from their various styles of watercraft,” says program manager and New York Sea Grant Coastal Community Development Specialist Mary Penney.
The educators will engage boaters one-on-one and conduct public outreach programs. They will also develop articles and fact sheets that translate the science of aquatic invasive species and clean recreational activities into easily understood terms for people of all ages.
The positions pay $12.5/hour for 35 hours/week from May 22 into September 2012. Penney is recruiting applicants with a minimum of two years combined education and experience in environmental education, natural resources management, biology, environmental studies or a related field. Desirable candidates will have strong interpersonal and writing skills, a willingness to work weekends and holidays, and enthusiasm for protecting the Great Lakes ecosystem.
Students are encouraged to speak to faculty about whether the position may meet internship requirements. Penney notes, “Working as a resource educator is excellent training for students interested in careers in environmental law enforcement, natural resource management including forestry, and teaching.”
Interviews begin March 6, 2012 and will continue until all the positions are filled. Interested applicants may send or email a cover letter and resume to Mary Penney, New York Sea Grant, SUNY Oswego, Oswego, NY 13126, mp357@cornell.edu.
The Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Resource Educators and Watercraft Inspectors Program is made possible by federal Great Lakes Restoration Funding and is a cooperative effort of New York Sea Grant with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Finger Lakes-Lake Ontario Watershed Protection Alliance, Oswego County Soil & Water Conservation District, and St Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management.
New York Sea Grant is a statewide network of integrated research, education, and extension services promoting the coastal economic vitality, environmental sustainability and citizen awareness about the State's marine and Great Lakes resources. One of 32 university-based programs under the NOAA’s National Sea Grant College Program, NYSG is a cooperative program of the State University of New York and Cornell University. # # #

January U.S. Temperature trend/decade: – 11.8 F COOLER in 100 years
The current temperature trend for January over the pat decades show nearly a 12 degree F DROP for the past century. Yes, the decrease in the average January temperature during he past decade was -1.18 degrees. Projecting that out over the past century in the way the AGWers do it you come up with my first sentence.
This is in spite of a reduction of reporting stations. From 1990-1993 roughly 63% of all reporting stations were dropped, many of them in cold areas. We now have about as many reporting stations as we did in 1890! In addition to that approximately one third of all reporting stations in the world are in the US.

Judicial Watch sues Energy Dept. for documents related to $529M Fisker loan
First lat me say that I realize that few, if any, in the government give a damn about the loss of $115 billion in overpayments. Also, we know that this is only what has been found and reported. Never forget that much more has probably been found and not reported and that the biggest piece of this pie is the amount nobody yet knows about.
Second, as to my curriculum vitae - I have provided information on my education an experience through the years so I surmise that you are a newbie here. Simply, I have a number of advanced degrees in the sciences having studied Astronomy, Meteorology, Geology, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and even Archeology and Paleontology. In addition to and because of that I have had to take many advanced math courses. Beyond that I have degrees related to business, in Administration and Labor Relations, where I have several decades of experience. Finally, I am a history buff and have studied US and world history most of my life.
Now, I have no doubt that none of that means anything to you. You only asked the question to draw me into some useless debate about these issues or simply used the typical progressive challenge to an opponents qualifications as a put down. In a typical debate with a progressive about, say the military, they demand to know if the Conservative ever served. If not then the Conservative has no right to debate the issue even though the progressive has no service record either. It is the progressive's holier than thou attitude and superior contempt that trumps anyone else's opinions.
So then, what are your qualifications to debate these issues? How many years of studying Meteorology have you so your AGW arguments make scientific sense? Go ahead and make up anything you wish. The truth of your lack of education in any of these matters will show itself in your simplistic and progressively dominated words. I answered your question, answer mine!

Progressive Contempt for the Constitution
Melinda Hennenberger is as dumb as they come. This moron should not be reporter for any major organization as she has no clue. This dummy thinks that the Founding Fathers made a mistake when they guaranteed the freedom of religion. More likely the mistake the Founding Fathers made was their acknowledgement of the freedom of the press especially without making sure that imbeciles weren't acting as reporters.
Of course, for progressives the Constitution is an impediment to their agenda and so they hate and despise it and want to push it aside at every opportunity. They always ignore it and push their agenda in spite of clear language prohibiting their agenda items. If they could they would simply throw the Constitution in the waste basket. That is pretty much what Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg did when she recently trashed the Constitution. for a Supreme Court Justice to say what she did should be grounds for impeachment.

NEVER CHEAT ON A Saskatchewan WOMAN!
A country wife came home just in time to find her husband in bed with another woman. With super-human strength, borne of fury, and cutting firewood, lifting sacks of feed, and bales of hay, she dragged him down the stairs, out the back door, and into the barn.
She put his manhood in a vice and then secured it tightly and removed the handle. Next she picked up an old carpenter's saw.
The banged-up-cheater was terrified and hollered, "Stop! Stop! You're not gonna cut it off with that rusty saw, are you?"
The wife, with a gleam of revenge in her eye, put the saw in her husband's hand and said ......

PEACE IS A NAZI SYMPATHIZER
Now there 'ya go again Peace, coming unglued right before our very eyes for all to see. Now that you've given me something to respond to, let's see what happens this time around.
To begin with, telling you to "shut up" seemed like an appropriate response considering your "death rants" and desire to "simply eliminate (certain people) by any means necessary", so if anyone is portraying "a Nazi" it would appear to be you! I suppose concentration camps and furnace ovens wouldn't be out of the question either considering your anger and hostility towards the elite, or maybe germ warfare, or government death panels? What flag do you fly Peace?..Let me guess....perhaps the one that looks like an American flag, but with green and white stripes and a "peace" symbol where the stars should be? Or is it the Nazi flag?
Fact of the matter is, (Peace), that unlike slavery, people are paid wages for the work they do and are basically free to quit their job at anytime by choice for the most part. Comparing the two is a very weak argument at best. People aren't being "forced into jobs by employers", they are being "forced into jobs out of personal need" in order to survive. In most cases, they don't have a choice, it's either work for a living or become a low life scumbag who either feeds off the system or becomes a common criminal. If we all did that, I think it would be a pretty lawless and unproductive society, and not a very nice place for the kids to grow up in.
Now, what have jobs produced since the Industrial Revolution? How about: 1) Increasing lifespan through technology in medical advancements? 2) Providing opportunity to travel and commute further in an hour than you could in a week on horseback? 3) How about being able to see in the dark without burning candles, or being able to be warm without chopping down a tree for firewood? What about the ability to communicate without having to rely on two soup cans and a ball of string? How about, being able to explore the bottom of the ocean or that thing up in the sky with George Washington's face on it? Gee, I'll bet I could think of millions of things that could be considered an improvement, unless you think "camping out" like an OWS protester is something we should all be doing on a regular basis. And with all that trash being left behind, and violence in the streets, I would hardly consider that lifestyle something that would lead to long term human survival.

JEFF GORDON'S PIT CREW
Jeff Gordon announced today he has fired his entire pit crew. This
announcement followed Gordon's decision to take advantage of Newt
Gingrich's scheme to employ Harlem youngsters. The decision to hire
them was brought about by a recent documentary on how unemployed
youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6
seconds without proper equipment, whereas Gordon's existing crew could
only do it in 8 seconds with thousands of dollars' worth of high tech
equipment.
It was thought to be an excellent and bold move by Gordon's management
team, as many races are won or lost in the pits.
However, Gordon got more than he bargained for. At the crew's first
practice session, not only was the inexperienced crew able to change
all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 9 seconds they had changed
the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale
Earnhardt Jr. for 10 cases of Bud, a bag of weed, and some photos of
Jeff Gordon's wife in the shower.

They keep bailing Greece out of their immediate financial messes but nothing is being done or even suggested that will bring about a real fix to the situation. The entitlement mentality of the Greeks themselves is a major part of the problem. They have been living the socialist dream, actually it is a nightmare, of the government giving them everything for so long that they refuse to give any of it up even though the government is broke. Even with infusions of money, mostly from Germany, the problems continue to exist and now they are looking to the IMF. The IMF is largely funded by the US so they will be tapping the American taxpayer to keep the socialist dream state running until that infusion is used up. As Margaret Thatcher once said, socialism is great until you run out of other peoples' money. Greece has run out of their own money and quickly using up everyone else's money. At some point in the near future the whole shebang will collapse under its debt.
Besides Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland are in the worst shape though I believe Ireland is taking positive steps, finally. France and other countries aren't doing very well and may soon be nearing bankruptcy themselves because there will be no one to bail them out after all the others squander their bailouts. I understand that even the Chinese aren't in very good shape because they have for decades played loose with their currency. Add to that the fact we owe them trillions which we will not be able to pay back for many decades to come and their economic outlook isn't that great either.
We are facing this economic catastrophe because we have all played fast and loose with our currency and have spent with abandon, not acknowledging the reality of that spending. I blame both Republicans and democrats but the latter get the greater blame as they have significantly out spent the Republicans, especially Obama. The democrats have also been the major pushers of the mortgage bomb that finally blew the hell out of our economy four years ago. Though they do everything they can to shift the blame to the banks and Wall Street, who are not completely innocent either, it is still the democrats who pushed and continuously backed the Sub-Prime Mortgage fiasco that resulted in so many foreclosures, devastating the lives to those they said they were helping. As usual, a democrat/progressive program has failed and failed disastrously and those who were the primary cause of it all act as if they were innocent victims of the big bad capitalist system.
Socialized medicine in the EU and elsewhere is also suffering from the failure of their socialist programs in general. This is especially true in the UK where many suffer because of the bureaucratic failures always associated with such top heavy bureaucracies. As I have said many times, those suffering most are the elderly and the young. I have provided links to many articles proving all sides of this and here is another. A 2 year old cancer victim written off by the NHS has been given a reprieve by coming to the US for medical treatment. Read that article in the link below and learn the truth of yet another NHS failure and a US medical system success. Time and time again victims of these socialized medical systems come here for the treatments they cannot get at home in a timely manner if at all. America still has the best health care in the world!
As far as your low-information class references go I believe your whole post is evidence that you are part of that low-information class. It is progressives who significantly restrict the information they receive to those organizations I lump into the ObamaMedia. Those in the ObamaMedia are driven by the progressive agenda and do everything they can to maximize that agenda and minimize any facts, data or other information and opposition which they find counterproductive to that agenda. Again, this is nothing more than the old progressive transference/projection going on here. You are projecting onto me your own restrictions to getting all of the facts. I, for one, am certainly not low-information as I explore far more news sources in one day than you or your progressives comrades do in a month, at best.
Oh, and as far as being a redneck I proudly accept that title. Of course, you have no idea of where that title comes from. It originated back in the mid 20's after the massacre of Blair Mountain. I proudly support unions fighting for their rights, especially against the combined muscle of a corrupt government backing corrupt businesses. However, now the shoe is on the other foot and it is the corrupt government of Obama backing corrupt unions and making war against the average worker and the taxpayers. One corrupt combination is as bad for the country and the people as the other. I oppose both!

GLUED MEAT- A Must See
There is a 30 second short ad before the
actual video clip (5:50)
Now along with not eating seafood from Asia
or other countries ... we have to
watch for GLUED meat! Be sure to watch this; you will be shocked. I sure was.
The next time that you are at the grocery store go to the pre-packaged
meat coolers and look closely at the list of the
countries on the label of any of the packaged meats (which is a mandatory FDA
law) that shows where that meat came from
Buy only meat that came from US or Canada.
Well, you can bet that if they are doing it in Australia, they're doing it here.
In fact, it wouldn't surprise me to learn the technology was developed here.
This video is shocking & everyone should be aware of what they

The real question is why some stupid person is walking on the breakwall on a cold, icy February day in the first place. Not too long ago, a couple of dumb kids from the college had to be rescued from closer to the steam station. When will people learn that the breakwall is a dangerous place to be even in the summer time. You screw up and someone else has to risk their lives to save you. The guy should be billed for rescue services. It's just a good thing for everyone that the water was fairly smooth at the time. O yeah! it was good rescue practice for all units.

RON PAUL
Aside from his ideas being quite a bit off the page, Ron Paul looks so feeble to me that I wonder if he will survive until 2016. I would say that his vice-presidential selection would be a far more important factor in considering to vote for him. Speaking of vice-presidents, did you ever wonder if the presidential candidate doesn’t use that selection as a kind of “insurance”? After all, who would want to do harm to John McCain if they knew the office would pass to Sarah Palin or to Barack Obama, knowing that Joe Biden would ascend?

Re: Winston, Blood and Venom
Well Winston, you care enough to respond so at least one person cares. Two if you include Mr. Blood and Venom. Typical Nazi tactics with the shut the f*** up command ... you can try to burn books and kill ideas but we are too numerous and too intelligent to be silenced into submission by serial flag-wavers who worship the Corporate State.
As far as "jobs" go, it is not the act of a man to rent himself on the open market to some hierarchical, tyrannical corporate institution ... it is the act of a slave. What have American "jobs" produced since the Industrial Revolution? 1) The impending destruction of the only environment in the known universe capable of sustaining human and all other sorts of life. (Yippee America!!!) 2) An American war machine that outspends the rest of the world combined on weapons and killing (USA! USA!) 3) A population falling fast into corporate serfdom while small numbers of oligarchs (the top 1 percent) take more and more for themselves (a class of people, like the French aristocracy, that Americans should simply eliminate by any means necessary).
I mean you can't have peace until the corporate elite responsible for environmental destruction, war, inequality and injustice is wiped away. Like Jefferson said about the Tree of Liberty. This country needs a massive social revolution to save the planet, to save the American people themselves from increasing servitude and disempowerment, and to make the world peaceful. People with jobs are a bunch of pussies who sell out to get a little comfort while the system they prop up destroys the planet, enriches the oligarchs, and destroys the prospects for long-term human survival including the children and grandchildren they claim to "love." Like Joe Pesci said in Casino, "If ya had any heart at all you'd be out stealing for a living." Quit your f***ing jobs! Shut the machine down! Save the children! Dig it!

You’d think that the master politician that he is would have been smart enough not to kick up dust when he didn’t have to. So has he lost his marbles? Or is he betting on winning over the women’s vote by championing birth control, having determined that the Church has become a paper tiger.

ham sandwich
A priest and a rabbi were sitting next to each other on an airplane.
After a while, the priest turned to the rabbi and asked, "Is it still a requirement of your faith that you not eat pork?'
The rabbi responded, "Yes, that is still one of our laws."
The priest then asked, "Have you ever eaten pork?"
To which the rabbi replied, "Yes, on one occasion I did succumb to temptation and tasted a ham sandwich."
The priest nodded in understanding and went on with his reading..
A while later, the rabbi spoke up and asked the priest, "Father, is it still a requirement of your church that
you remain celibate?"
The priest replied, "Yes, that is still very much a part of our faith."
The rabbi then asked him, "Father, have you ever fallen to the temptations of the flesh?"
The priest replied, "Yes, rabbi, on one occasion I was weak and broke my Faith."
The rabbi nodded understandingly and remained silent, thinking, for about five Minutes.
Finally, the rabbi said, "Beats the shit out of a ham sandwich, doesn't it?"

Warning to Diabetics
If you have diabetes you'll want to avoid eating at the Global Buffet unless you enjoy going into insulin shock.If you're a borderline diabetic eating there will give you full-blown diabetes in short order. The reason? Sugar seems to be the main ingredient in 90% of their items.How many of you have ever eaten Crab Rangoon with more sugar in one than you'd find in a piece of cheesecake? or shrimp in a white sauce that tastes like canned vanilla pudding? There is more sugar in their entrees than in their desserts.
Is the high sugar content supposed to make you eat less? The average size of the diners at this establishment would preclude the notion that being health conscious is a factor for most of them. In fact some people of a certain size prefer the sugar. If you're addicted to sugar and ice cream ain't cuttin' it no more then may I suggest

RE: Doonesbury
For satire and humor to be funny, particularly political satire and humor there has to be an element of truth to it. The greater that truth the funnier the satire. Unfortunately for this progressive his attempt doesn't have the least bit of humor because there isn't any connection between the cartoon and me to have the most miniscule bit of truth in it. I am not selling anything nor have I ventured into the debate of whether or not Obama is truly a muslim. The closest I ever came to this issue was simply to relate the facts that while living in Indonesia he attended muslim services and was educated in that religion for however long he lived there.
However, I can see by many of his actions though that he is anti-Catholic at the minimum. Though Obama talks highly about tolerance for religious views his health care laws are definitely not religion friendly. Under ObamaCare the view of Catholics that contraception and abortion are mortal sins is irrelevant and Catholic hospitals, Catholic doctors, Catholic nurses must provide contraceptive prescriptions and abortions regardless of their faith. Churches and religious organizations must provide health care insurance or benefits to their employees regardless of the fact that such involvement is a direct violation of their religious values. ObamaCare will also force Catholic hospitals, doctors and nurses to perform abortions which is therefore requiring them to commit murder. The only other choice would be for all those Catholic hospitals to close and all those Catholic medical personnel to leave their professions. I believe that is unconstitutional.
Now, personally I have no problem with contraception but I do believe that abortion is murder. The only exception to this would be to save the life or health of the woman. This is self-defense and we all have the right to defend our lives even if that requires the taking of another life.The pro-choicers refuse to acknowledge the human nature of the unborn child referring to it as nothing more than fetal material. To them the human fetus is a non person, just as blacks were in the south before the Civil War and Jews in Nazi Germany
I wonder just how far ObamaCare would go if there were significant health benefits found in pork. Would Obama and his bureaucrats require muslims and Jews to eat pork? I have no doubt that they would require it of Jews but never of muslims because the muslims would naturally resort to violence and put Obama and his regime on their death lists. Christians are being attacked politically and physically more and more both here and abroad. The fate of Christians in muslims countries is in question as they are being killed in greater numbers by muslims who have no tolerance for any religion but their own.
You utterly failed with this extraordinarily poor attempt at humor. I have no doubt that you concocted some fanciful connections in your twisted and delusional mind in this instance but that is expected from such twisted and delusional progressives.

The Jan/Feb issue of The Saturday Evening Post has a very informative and factual article about Social Security. It includes a time line and a discussion about how it all came to be. Very interesting read, especially for those of us old pharts who draw benefits. It does not portray the situation to be as bleak as people with political agendas seem want us to think. Seems like politicians use Social Security as a way to manipulate us and push our hot buttons, whether we are young or old. To read the article go to saturdayeveningpost.com and click on the ”Current Issue” picture on the right hand side of the page. Then scroll down to see links to old articles. The one on Social Security will not be available until Feb. 20th. BTW, this magazine has a lot of interesting and pertinent articles for those of us in our “Golden Age”.

Trawl Workshop an Award-Winning International Exchange
Oswego, NY -- The US Geological Survey (USGS) has just awarded New York Sea Grant and Fisheries Specialist David B. MacNeill a USGS Great Lakes Science Center Certificate of Appreciation for a November 2011 trawling workshop. The November workshop attracted 35 American and Canadian researchers and research vessel personnel representing all five Great Lakes.
In November 2011 New York Sea Grant (NYSG) and the US Geological Survey collaborated to bring acclaimed expertise in marine trawl design to Central New York. MacNeill co-organized the workshop with USGS Research Fishery Biologist Dr. Maureen Walsh.
USGS Lake Ontario Biological Station Director Dr. Brian F. Lantry said, “This workshop was the best and most useful I have ever attended. The numerous emails USGS has received attest to participants feeling the same. This type of work makes a realistic, practical contribution to science.”
Collecting fish samples with large underwater nets (trawls) provides essential information for understanding food webs and managing fisheries resources.
The three-day intensive workshop at the Cornell University Biological Field Station on Oneida Lake was an unprecedented opportunity for a marine-Great Lakes exchange with Dr. Paul Winger and his internationally-respected fishing gear and marine trawl evaluation team of George Legge, Philip Walsh and Tara Perry from the Memorial University of Newfoundland’s (MUN) Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Resources.
The world’s largest flume tank at MUN simulates real-world conditions. A week’s worth of testing trawl models there can save months of work on the water with full-size nets.
“We were pleased to share what we know about fishing gear design and how to increase both trawl and fuel efficiencies, reduce ecological impacts, and obtain the quality of data needed for fisheries science and development,” Dr. Winger said.
The workshop included numerous hands-on trawl exhibits and classroom time on design configurations, hydrodynamics, fish behavior impact on catch efficiency, environmental variability, and new opportunities for evaluating trawl designs for use in the Great Lakes.
Workshop participant Gary Czypinski, US Fish & Wildlife Service in Ashland, Wisconsin, said, “Trawling is a very good tool for early detection of new invasive species. I came hoping to gain an edge for catching Asian carp which are very successful in evading a bottom trawl.”
Spring-fall trawls have been cooperatively conducted by U.S. federal and state and Canadian provincial agencies on Lake Ontario since the 1970s.
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Research Biologist Mike Connerton of the NYSDEC Seth Green fisheries research vessel at Cape Vincent, NY, said, “The mussels in Lake Ontario have forced us to change the gear we use. Understanding net performance and the latest technology for evaluating our gears will help us obtain the best data possible.”
New York Sea Grant Director Jim Ammerman noted, “This important workshop is a product of the National Sea Grant office support for the Lake Ontario team of the Great Lakes Regional Research Network.”
New York Sea Grant Associate Director Dr. Kathy Bunting-Howarth commented, “This workshop is a fine example of what Extension is all about -- transferring knowledge and empowering people to use science to its best result.”
A Great Lakes Regional Research Network grant to NYSG funded the trawl design workshop. #

Brown Seeks Vote by Californians on Raising Income, Sales Taxes
Californians never seem to learn. The state is going down the drain. People and businesses are leaving in droves and the politicians want to increase taxes to cover their decades of massive, excessive spending. They do not want to cut anything and they think that stealing more money from the people is the answer. The problem is that even if they manage to get the revenue increases they claim the new taxes will bring in that new money will be spent on some hair brained new econazi policy and not to reduce the massive debt the state has.
The same has been true of the federal government. Even when revenue to the treasury was doubled by the Reagan tax cuts the spend thrifts in the democrat controlled Congress never cut spending as they had pledged but greatly increased it thus wiping out any positive outcomes of the increased revenue. This is always the case with those addicted to spending other peoples' money. Obama and his regime want to increase taxes claiming they want to balance the budget but it will never happen as the increased revenue will be used to fund some new progressives entitlement that will further increase the national debt.
Read the article in the link below and learn the truth of the idiocy happening in California. Let us hope that we can prevent this lunacy from happening to the rest of us on the federal level. The reality for California is that if thy pass these increased taxes more people and businesses will leave and they will have gained nothing and lost even more.

The Religion of Peace at it again
The insane ones in Iran are at it again saying want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews. They justify this by claiming the right to a preemptive strike because Israel is considering its own preemptive strike because of all the violent rhetoric coming from Iran in the first place.
I suppose that this logic will allow Israel to consider a preemptive strike to preempt the preemptive strike of Iran which is intended to preempt the preemptive strike that Israel is considering because of all the violent, hate filled rhetoric coming the the Iranian idiots in the first place!
Apparently it doesn't occur to these evil bastards in Iran that they are causing the whole problem because of their visceral hatred for Israel and their Nazi like desire to kill every Jew on the face of the Earth. Oh, and after they kill all the Jews they'll kill all the Christians, then the Buddhists, then the Hindus, then the Sikhs, and on and on and on. Eventually they will get to all of you progressive atheists too.

Global Warming And Cooling
There is no denying the melting of Artic glaciers. Anyone who watches PBS knows that Climatologists and Anthropologists regularly find new clues as to what caused or did not cause the ice age, the disappearance of the dinosaurs, changes in sea level and periods of global warming and cooling. Considering the last two freakish winters we have experienced with the jet stream hugging the Artic circle you might consider that the planet was making its own adjustments. Record snowfalls in Alaska may well begin rebuilding the melting Glaciers. If this kind of thinking holds any weight then one might wonder just how far the pendulum would swing in the warming direction before it peaked and started swinging back to cold. I for one am hoping the serious cooling doesn’t start for at least twenty years. By then I will have adjusted to a constant 57 degrees and won't really care.

We Are Now Able To Harvest Electricity From Cockroaches
This appears to be a great source of electricity and it doesn't even hurt the roaches which will get the nuts from PETA on board. I wonder though how many roaches you'll have to have in your house to run everything? Will the benefits of roach power be greater than the danger from the diseases the little vermin carry? What regulations will PETA demand on the care and feeding and work hours for the roaches? Will PETA demand roach rights?

Elected and Appointed School Officials
Coach Reid
I would like to ask Everyone here to help save the career of a good coach in the face of political weakness in the Oswego school district. The administration has lost the backbone required of leaders. If any one complains on most any topic they bend to criticism. I sent an earlier article to this website and I want to add to it. I'm the parent with 3 boys. I would have loved to see Oswego competitive with the Syracuse program and seen a win over FM or West Genny. it's a lot to ask when our population is smaller and the talent pool reflects that. But Oswego has had good years and we have come close on rare occasion.
There is a strong tendency in this district to award playing time to the politically favored and this also works against competitive play. Reid is is a fair coach and he can develop competitive teams. I is unbelievable that ONE complaining parent can can wreck such havoc. One ANNOYMOUS parent. I for one would like to know who this parent is. Even more I would like to know why the administration would yield to ONE parent.
I have a quote for you and it pains me no end to quote it because it is associated with Daniel Moynihan. He used it but he was not the author, so I guess it is OK after all. It most appropriate for you , my man.

Mr. Reid
Mr. Reid should have been fired years ago. He is the reason that tenure should be denied to teachers. He is a bully and a brute. He doesn't teach life lessons, he crushes their spirit. He gives good teachers a bad reputation. It is about time the school board did something about him. I know when I tried to have something done about him, the principal and the school board couldn't be bothered. Maybe now they will see him for the bully he is.

Social Security
Have you noticed, your Social Security check is now referred to as a "federal benefit payment"? Our government gets away with way too much in all areas of our lives, while they live lavishly on their grossly overpaid incomes!
Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only $30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500.
If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours and your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the government pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working, you'd have $892,919.98.
If you took out only 3% per year, you'd receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years (until you're 95 if you retire at age 65) and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit!
If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month.
The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madoff every had. Entitlement my ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!! Just because they borrowed the money from the fund - which was promised never to happen - and never paid it back, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout!
Congressional benefits - - free healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my social security retirement entitlements?
We're "broke" and can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless. In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile and Turkey. And now Pakistan - home of bin Laden. Literally, billions of dollars!!!!!
Our retired senior living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$'s and Tons of Food to foreign countries!
They call Social Security and Medicare an Entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when it's time for us to collect, the government is running out of money.
Why did the government borrow from it in the first place? Imagine if the "government" gave "US" the same support they give to other countries.

RE: The Economy
Well, it looks as if Profound Tom is back in his fantasy universe where everything is going his way except for what those Wascally Wepublicans aren't doing. Good old boy PT ignores that fact that the do nothing part of Congress is the democrat controlled Senate which has failed to do anything about the dozens of bills that the Republicans have passed and sent to them. many of those bills deal with measures to improve he economy and increase jobs by getting the government out of the way. And they still have no intention of passing a budget. Is that anyway to run a household or a company much less a country? HELL NO!
Then there is the fantasy of Obama's creating millions of jobs. He no doubt relies on the latest drop in unemployment but remember that there are fewer jobs to be filled and that reduces the denominator in the fraction thus increasing the quotient and not resulting in more people working. Remember also that the raw numbers still tell us that there are fewer people working now than before and that is not an improvement no matter how you try to spin it.
We have to assume that these are all green jobs as those are them ones highest on his agenda. It is too bad that few if any of those jobs have actually materialized and those that have cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars EACH. Any other jobs that have materialized as a result of Obama's extreme spending have also cost far more than they are worth and most of those are short term to boot!
So, at best the economy stagnates while Obama gives away hundreds of millions of dollars to friends and supporters who have invested in these failing "green" companies. When those companies go broke, and many have, his buddies get paid back first and if thee is anything left then the lowly taxpayer may get something. Of course, such an arrangement is in violation of law but when did the law mean anything to Obama and his democrat progressive horde.

Record 1.2 Million People Fall Out Of Labor Force In One Month
Here is another article showing that any claim by Profound Tom or his progressive comrades of the jobs market improving is a fraud. Read the article in the link below and learn the truth of what is happening.
Now, I have no doubt that you progressives will claim that republicans have done the same or similar things to make the unemployment numbers look better and you are correct. However, that means nothing to me as I condemn them for doing it too. The real unemployment numbers are far higher than anyone in government wants to admit. The real, actual numbers are out there if you want to know the truth. I have provided them in the past and nothing much has changed about what they do not tell us. They play games by not counting those who have given up and fudging the rest.
Unemployment for teenagers is especially high and even worse for certain groups within that category. Much of that can be blamed on the rising minimum wage which acts more to keep the young and inexperienced out of the work force. The last time the minimum wage was raised I provided links which predicted that youth unemployment would rise and it has with nearly half of them in some categories being unemployed.

Today's Quote February 5/12
“I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear;
knowing what must be done does away with fear.”
Rosa Parks
The fact that the wealthy conservative donors pledged $100 million for the 2012 elections shows how intent they are on trying to get Obama out of office -- and previews how intense, and likely nasty, the general election will be.
There are limits on how much an individual can give to a political candidate. Therefore, much of the money pledged at the recent gathering will likely go to super PACs or nonprofits that can spend and accept unlimited amounts of funds. GOP primary voters have already gotten a glimpse of how the political system looks with super PACs around: If the super rich have a extra 100 mil to spend on politics their tax rate isn't high enough.

Regarding the Phil Reed " investigation" by people who have too much time on their hands and not enough common sense or backbone to silence people who do not understand sports, I have a few words.
As a parent who has had three boys in the Oswego School District sports programs and in other community based teams, including both soccer and lacrosse, we know Mr. Reed's style of coaching from his coaching of our kids. He cares about the sport and wants the kids to be the best that they can be. He wants them to win. He wants them to demonstrate good sportsmanship. He is passionate about the sport. He realizes that if students are dedicated and work they can achieve on almost any level.
Sure he yells but let a good coach do what he does best. If you think he is too intense for your children get them into badminton. However, they will miss good life lessons.

WHEN THE RICH PAY THEIR "FAIR SHARE"?
Do you really think that if the tax laws get modified so that the rich pay their “fair share” that the average person’s tax burden would go down? What will happen is there will be thousands more public employees, certainly more teachers (because “education is the key to prosperity”), and the hudders will have more to spend on beer, cigarettes, tattoos and crack. And don’t forget the stimuli for union campaign contributors.

Okay listen up you are becoming as boring as Doc Bill....I work at the campus and it is what it is. Marta S. knows no more about running human resources than she did when she worked for the city. Under her rule, every non english speaking person in this city got a job at the college well before "qualified" people did (and yes Marta that means learning English!!!) and I am sick of these people who speak little to no english always referring to "their" country....What the hell is America to them? Just a place to pop a squat and send our dollars elsewhere. Now, on to Mary D. She knows no more about running a grounds crew than I do which is little to none. She has made a mockery out of that department PERIOD. And her monkey ass Charlie H. well, to use your term he is an ass puppet. On the news the other night he looked like a bloated ass in that uniform. Just like at the 4th of July parade when he was riding on the tank and all of a sudden his fatass son pops out of the tank - talk about a Jackass in the Box!!!!!!! And as far as Ron R. goes he is just plain friggin USELESS. He needs some serious reprimands for his attitude, language & behavior. Enough said about that monkey. Now anyone who works on campus knows that Mike I. should have been fired but his day is coming. When this lawsuit is said and done heads are going to roll. Perhaps thats why Marta put her house up for sale!!!!!!!!!!!! So now I say let it go "Mom" will get hers trust me. She will be working with her husband at the landscaping business.

First of all three of these posts are from the same ones who brought you the ass puppets ( brainstormed the idea at Price Chopper drinking their free coffee haha), How you ask? First off it is now university police not security, they changed yrs ago. Secondly students do not just spark up a conversation with someone in maintenance, grounds or custodial. I work there I know this for a fact. They only talk to you (employees) if needed to. Third this would have been a topic on here yrs ago, since this man has been at the campus a few yrs ago.

???????????THE RINO???????????
I wonder if you realize that you are accusing me of doing exactly what everyone should always be doing when they encounter new information? It is very apparent that you do not understand how education works. Very simply, one is exposed to lots and lots of facts, even more explanations of those facts by supposed experts and even some amateurs, then one is expected to digest all of that information and reach conclusions. I have gone through this process hundreds of times with issues that I find are extraordinarily important. And, of course I use information that supports my conclusions. Do you expect me to use information that contradicts my conclusions? Everyone does that and I assume you do too! Quite honestly, this is a very ignorant statement on your part or an attempt to deceive others into thinking that I am as robotized as obamatons are and therefore must be avoided at all costs.
Unfortunately far too many people they never get to the digestion or thinking part of the process. They accept without question what those whom they hold in high esteem tell them. Their blind faith in these people belies the reality that they refuse to see. This is why they completely dismiss the conspiracy by certain scientists and politicians to convince the world that the Earth is getting hotter because of human activity. Even the release of thousands of emails from the conspirators is insufficient proof for these true believers.
This is the same situation we have with ObamaCare. To the true believers our health care system is the worst in the world and those in Canada, the UK and elsewhere are the best and better than that they are FREE! The old saying, "There is no such thing as a free lunch" has no meaning to the true believers. The true believers completely reject any possibility that ObamaCare will not be everything that has been promised and more. Everybody will have all the health care they need effectively, efficiently and timely and FREE or at minimal cost. The true believers never consider what the gives and takes will be under this system. Quite simply the country cannot afford to give everyone every possible medical procedure. Estimates vary but I believe that it is fair to say that the total uncovered debt the government already owes exceeds $100,000,000,000,000.00, that is 100 trillion dollars!
This is not including the current national debt which already exceed $15 trillion. It does include all of the promised payments for all who are eligible for Social Security, Medicare including the drug portion, Medicaid, Veteran Benefits, and the pensions of government workers. It is not possible to cover the medical expenses of 330,000,000+ people without drastic increases in taxes or drastic reductions in coverage. Something has to give somewhere which is what I have been trying to get through the thick skulls of progressives by providing examples from those countries where these things are already in effect. We see time and time again where health care is falling apart and/or where individuals are shunted aside for this or that reason and do not get needed health care in a timely fashion if at all. Time and time again those who suffer the most are the elderly because they do not meet the bureaucratic bean counters calculations and requirements of worthiness. It all comes down to a cost benefit calculation and if they do not think you're worth it you get left behind.
So, in the latest post which I believe you are referring to there is the probability that ObamaCare will result in significant delays for certain procedures or referrals. This is what happens in Canada, the UK and elsewhere and it is profound stupidity to assume that it will not happen here because Obama and his minions say it won't. To paraphrase you in your latest post, either you and your progressive comrades are incapable of telling the difference between reality and fantasy (or truth and opinion) or you intentionally trying to deceive people, including yourself.
Have you read the entire ObamaCare bill? Are you basing your defense and acceptance of ObamaCare on the descriptions and explanations provided by the website you refer to? On the first page of that site we find that we can read the entire law ourselves, read about the "key features" of the bill, read about the "time line" of the bill, read about the bill might affect us, or read about the bill will be implemented. These are the five sections in which the whole website is divided. If you are basing your entire argument on what you have read in the last four sections then you are reading the opinions of those who are pushing ObamaCare and have a vested interest in getting it accepted by everybody.
I have not read it but having read similar types of material I can tell you that they emphasize what they believe are the most positive elements of the bill and de-emphasize or ignore what they fear are things that most people will adamantly object to. I rather doubt that you have read every word on every page of the bill and even if you have I rather doubt that you understand the legalese they use in legislation. Furthermore, not everything that will affect the people is written in the bill.
As I understand the entire legislative process the only thing that the Congress passes is a framework. It is left to bureaucrats to interpret that framework and devise the regulations, that is the laws, that will be used to implement the bill. I personally find this unconstitutional because what amounts to the law was never passed by Congress but by faceless, unelected bureaucrats. Back in December I related a item I had heard about neurosurgery. I specified that I had heard about it but was taken to task about it. I believe it was A.A.P. who said he could not find anything about the claim in the legislation and I have to assume he was doing nothing more than reviewing those four sections in the website you listed.
To remind everyone of this issue, I said I head a surgeon stated that under ObamaCare persons over the age of 70 will not be given much more than comfort care for any strokes or other neurological problems. I have no doubt that those words are not in the legislation or any of the explanations provided in any government report. However, unless the bureaucrats themselves created this possibility out of whole cloth themselves, there must be language, vague though it may be, that alludes to dealing with those over various ages. Therefore, when they establish the guidelines and distribute them to physicians these specifics are there even though they did not exist in the original legislation in the same, direct form. Unfortunately I did not hear who this surgeon was nor which section of the legislation he said this regulation emanated from so I cannot confirm it. However, I was very clear that this was the case when I posted the comment so it is something that should be considered for the future and we need to pay strict attention to all of the manifestations of the bill as they are produced by those unelected bureaucrats. If and when I get the particulars you can be sure that I wil post them here.
The real difference between Profound Tom and I is that I have come to my conclusions after years of study of both sides. Remember, I was a left leaning moderate years ago but had many questions about things that I have since realized were flat out wrong from the left. Of course, I use only those things which support my conclusions and opinions. You do the same thing whether you realize it or not or want to admit it or not. that is how one provides proof of his conclusions and opinions, by providing like conclusions and opinions of experts.
On the other hand, people like Profound Tom, and maybe you too, have not gone through this process and are completely led by all the smooth talk and massive promises of the progressive elite. They never question anything those elites say as that is a sacrilege and heresy and they are extraordinarily afraid of being called out on such things. All these people can do is parrot the talking points and slogans the progressives spew and when that doesn't work or they run out of them they personally attack those with whom they are debating. Those who truly explore everything and evaluate all of it are constantly adjusting to new information that they encounter. That is how one grows from a robotized progressives into a free thinking Conservative.
Getting back to climate with which I started this post, we see in the link below what happens to information after it has be adjusted to fit the preconceived conclusions of those pushing AGW. Many of the recently release Climategate II emails reveal the fudging done by supposed scientists to minimise cooling and emphasize warming. Read the article in the link below and learn the truth. A nice long post to annoy my critics too!

Doc, you are guilty of the exact thing you accuse Prof Tom of. By your own admission, you form your opinions and then find websites which support your position. Then you try to pawn them off as “links to the truth”. Your problem is that you think “the truth is where you find it” and if you can’t find what you want, you go on until you do. It appears to me that you have difficulty differentiating truth from opinion, or worse yet, you are intentionally trying to deceive people.
I have in the recent past given you a link to the Affordable Health Care Act which you know as “Obamacare”. If you would take the time to read over what is included in “Obamacare” and then debate the benefits or weaknesses of its provisions, your credibility would be much improved. In case you missed it the first time, here is the link to the Affordable Health Care Act:

Just like your arguments about the meaning of “natural born citizen”, you have latched on to an interpretation that serves your purposes and ignore the facts. What is your next revelation, the 3.8% sales tax on real estate transactions?

Don't worry about being $4 trillion in debt. When the Bush Tax Cuts for the rich expire on December 31st 2012, we will be getting $1 trillion a year in extra revenues.
As far as Romney is concerned, time will tell if he get's elected. I'm still confident Newt wil sabotage his chances!

"Suck it up"
Funny how now we are supposed to show respect and courtesy for the students, how the college runs exclusively for them, and so on.
Well, the community has been "sucking it up" for years putting up with the shenanigans and baloney the students have been dishing out. Ever lived near, or been in a frat house, or almost any student off campus apartment? Ever seen the conditions they leave the dorm rooms in at the end of the year?
When they stop pissing on the street, having drunk bacchanals, being disrespectful, and start understanding that we are not all here for their convenience. Maybe then, and only then, will respect for them be forthcoming.
I suspect this maintenance guy has had a belly full of them, or maybe he is just a jerk. But anybody so sensitive they tear up over a verbal insult is a pussy and / or a wimp. A perfect example of how the students do not live in the real world. A short verbal insult may be a big thing to the liberals on campus, but in the real world it is no worse than a cloudy day.

Happy Days are Here Again? Raw Jobs Numbers Tell Very Different Story
So, the unemployment rate dropped to 8.3%? That must mean that there were more people working in January than in December, right? WRONG! There were some 132,900,000 people working in December while there are only about 130,400,000 people working in January. What happened to the 2,500,000 people who are not now working? They were seasonally adjusted out of the employment marked.
The government plays with the numbers to get the best statistic they can. The reality is that there are fewer and fewer jobs out there to be had. At this rate it won't be long before we are back to full employment with every job filled. Unfortunately that will mean that there are millions and millions who will not be able to find work because it doesn't exist.

What was motivation for Fast and Furious?
Very simply the Obama administration needed to put "real numbers" to their lies about the drug cartels getting all their guns in the US. So,the created this unconstitutional and extraordinarily illegal scheme to allow guns they knew were illegally purchased, forcing the gun stores to sell them, into Mexico so they would be found at crime scenes. Then they could cry and wring their hands at all the devastation and lives lost by the "American" guns. But, they stuck to their discredited claim that 90% of the guns recovered in Mexico came from the US.
It is interesting to note that there are hundreds of millions of fully automatic AK 47's and other similar type weapons openly available from China, North Korea and many other places at astonishingly reasonable prices. Fully automatic AK 47's can be had for as little as $50.00 US. So, why would they spend $500.00 US for a semi-automatic one in the US? They wouldn't.
Read the article in the link below and learn the truth about this fraud by the Obama crime syndicate. Especially noteworthy is the last section with further explains the ready availability of weapons on the world-wide arms market.

I hope you don’t believe that they will flock to the Obama camp because I don’t think that that is in the cards.

“Single-payer” Health Care Requires Evermore Patient Patients
If Profound Tom has half a brain he would still be dumber than a gnat! The truth is where you find it but according to you and your progressive comrades there is no truth outside of the ObamaMedia. Fine, stay ignorant if you wish. Eventually reality will bite you on the butt and you will be bewildered as to what happened.
I was taught long ago to learn from my mistakes and do my best to never make the same mistake twice. But better than that I was strictly admonished that it is best to learn from the mistake of others. That way you avoid making the mistake in the first place yourself. That is a far superior way of learning than the first but even the first is far better than never learning from mistakes at all which is the MO of progressives. They insanely do the same things over and over again telling us that it will be better this time if we only spend more money and lose more freedom in the process. And the robotized obamatons such as Profound Tom go along with it every time.
Obama and his health care Gestapo lauded the Canadian health care system. However, when you need anything that they classify as "elective" in Canada you can wait a long time. Now, you may be thinking that elective medical procedures are things like a face lift or stuff like that but you'd be largely wrong. Basically, in Canada is everything that is not an emergency is elective. So, you have to wait for MRI's, CT scans, Oncology (cancer) services, Cardiovascular, Orthopedic, Urological, Gynecological, etc.. This is why a Premier came here for heart surgery. The waits can be long.
"Specialist physicians surveyed across 12 specialties and 10 Canadian provinces report a total waiting time of 19.0 weeks between a referral from a general practitioner and elective treatment in 2011-the longest total wait time recorded since the Fraser Institute began measuring wait times in 1993."
Read the article in the link below and learn the truth about this lousy record in the vaunted Canadian health care system.Waiting 19 weeks for an MRI to see if you have a brain tumor can literally be a killer! Oh, and this isn't from a UK, Australian or even a Canadian paper. It is from a California institute.

re: WALL STREET, CORPORATIONS, AND WARMONGERS
Wall street. corporations, and warmongers are the government? Silly me...and here I thought it was the EPA, the IRS, and the OWS protesters.
Apparently Peace thinks that America could survive reverting back to the 18th century while the rest of the world continues to have a manufacturing base, control of the monetary system, and a desire to attack us. Fortunately for us, the very entities he despises prevents such things from happening. Since his dream will never become a reality on a worldwide basis, I can only wonder how America or weaker countries could possibly defend themselves against others if there were no manufactures to produce everything that is necessary for defense, let alone supply the various products necessary for our own daily survival. As China, Iran, N. Korea, and a host of other Muslim countries continue to produce or acquire nuclear weapons, we're simply expected to stop producing anything and sit idly by as they take over the rest of the world and become more powerful. Peace apparently seems to think that Iran and other Middle eastern countries actually give a damn about green energy and liberal ideology, (women's rights, free speech, etc.) or that China, Cuba, and N. Korea hold values more in line with his fantasy worldview.
As I see it, the real warmongers are the OWS crowd of flag burning anarchists and unemployed drug users, while public service unions act and benefit as both corporations and Wall Street investors at the expense of people who are not in them, lobbying for their own special interests just like the corporations he condemns, right along with the environmentalists. As for the unemployed and others who reap the benefits of entitlement programs who pay the least in taxes, the continuing greed and desire of these people for higher taxes on others through the redistribution of wealth isn't much different than owning increasing value in shares of Americas stock. Their "stock" goes up whenever taxes are raised, providing them with more benefits in one form or another. The only difference is, that instead of watching the stock report on T.V. everyday, they are watching reality T.V. with a bag of cheese puffs, smoking pot, and drinking beer.

Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney has won the Florida primary and in doing so has destroyed his chances of winning the Presidential election. Mitt won by airing 12,732 negative ads against his opponents, mainly Newt Gringrich. He spent $18.75 million to do this.
In going negative, Mitt has lost the support of the Independent voters, the one group that will decide the election. His support among Independents has gone from 45% to 21%.
So, in the end, Newt won! He knew he couldn't beat Mitt's money machine, so he made it possible for Mitt to lose as well!
Newt will continue to inflict punishment on Mitt all the way to the convention.

Economic differences between socialism and communism
In a Socialist economy, the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy. On the other hand, in a communist society, there is no centralized government - there is a collective ownership of property and the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
For a Capitalist society to transition, the first step is Socialism. From a capitalist system, it is easier to achieve the Socialist ideal where production is distributed according to people's deeds (quantity and quality of work done). For Communism (to distribute production according to needs), it is necessary to first have production so high that there is enough for everyone's needs. In an ideal Communist society, people work not because they have to but because they want to and out of a sense of responsibility.
Political differences between socialists and communists
Socialism rejects a class-based society. But socialists believe that it is possible to make the transition from capitalism to socialism without a basic change in the character of the state. They hold this view because they do not think of the capitalist state as essentially an institution for the dictatorship of the capitalist class, but rather as a perfectly good piece of machinery which can be used in the interest of whichever class gets command of it. No need, then, for the working class in power to smash the old capitalist state apparatus and set up its own—the march to socialism can be made step by step within the framework of the democratic forms of the capitalist state. On the other hand, Communists believe that as soon as the working class and its allies are in a position to do so they must make a basic change in the character of the state; they must replace capitalist dictatorship over the working class with workers’ dictatorship over the capitalist class as the first step in the process by which the existence of capitalists as a class (but not as individuals) is ended and a classless society is eventually ushered in.

On 3/26/11 there was a comment that the free market system nearly brought down the world economy in 2008. I beg to differ! There are many who, through the propaganda spread by the left wing main stream media, believe that the present economic woes of the US and world are to be blamed on the Republicans and Capitalists. The problem started with the collapse of the mortgage industry which was brought on by our government sticking its nose into the free market system. As Republicans in congress were warning of the dangers of the subprime mortgage loans that were being made in 2008 and earlier, Barney Frank stood before the House and insisted that it was"WORTH THE RISK" to get more minorities into their own homes ----- whether or not they were credit worthy! Too many today want to blame the banks, forgetting that it was the government who twisted the arms of the banks to make these risky loans under the threat of hefty penalties if they did not comply. They forget that Obama himself, working for ACORN, sued Citibank over this very issue and Citibank caved in due to laws that had been put in place by an over-reaching Federal Government. And besides, the banks were safe as the risk was really being put on Fanny and Freddie -----THE TAX PAYERS! The banks, left to their own business wisdom would never have engaged in such shaky practices. It was the fault of the Democratic left wing Socialists, playing up to their base and trying to garner support, who believed that they should "spread the wealth". Obama has often said that he inherited this economy from Bush but Bush was not running Congress ----- it was being run by the Democrat majority.
Then the Morons in this country voted in the very people who caused the economic crash in the first place. There will always be the rich and the poor because there will always be the industrious and the slackers. Socialism/Communism always fails. Look at the Plymouth Plantation in 1620. They nearly died from starvation under communism and only prospered when they shifted to "every man for himself". The Soviet Union collapsed because their economic engine had the constant drag of apathy caused by hopelessness ----- lack of opportunity to prosper. They could not compete with our economic engine ------ capitalism. Look at what is happening to the economies of Europe ------ they're imploding ------ too much consumption and not enough production.
To all of you social, communist left leaning fools haven't you seen enough to know that the left leaning politcians along with their media base are duping you into a false Utopia and once in we too will be in the same predicaments as that of Russia. Smarten up and save this great country from those fools making BIGGER fools of you. the phantom!

RE: The RINO
Thank you for realizing that I was debating an issue. Granted, I was debating only the one side, that is what if Obama is not eligible, because there is nothing really to debt on the other side. I prefaced my comments, which represented my opinion of the potential outcomes, by using the conditional word "IF." My resulting opinions were derived from my education, understandings and experiences.
It is very sad that so many cannot understand the differences between debating an issue based upon specific, established conditions and randomly arguing about something based upon what one thinks or wishes to be so. This is the basic "If A, Then B" conditional case in logic. That is the standard which I used in this case by establishing the "IFs" first and then stating my conclusions based upon my education, understandings and experiences. If my "IFs" are faulty or not the case then of course my conclusions will not stand up. Therefore, one must first disprove my "IFs" to argue against my "THENS."
I agree that we will have to agree to disagree on the finer points of the "IFs" for now as they will be argued in court. As I understand there was a case in 1875 that dealt with the "natural born citizen" criteria and I will supply more information on that at a later date. If memory serves me correctly there are some other cases too that can shed light on what the original meaning of this term is. However, we cannot allow anyone to define it by today's standards, the living constitution model, as that will definitely change the meaning of the term. There are sufficient resources to research what the common understanding and definition of this term was in the late 18th century for the courts to make a determination. Whatever the outcome, one side or the other will not be happy at the very least and maybe both. Time will tell.
As a final thought on this issue there are 6 other states challenging Obama's eligibility to be on the ballot. Since it is the states that actually run the elections it is up to them to verify the eligibility of all on the ballot. Read the article in the link below and learn the truth about what states are still in the process of doing just that.
Also, in the Georgia case, I understand that the lawyers for Obama have provided a copy of his long form birth certificate as released last Spring. I also understand that under the law the plaintiffs in this case now have the legal right to scrutinize the original certificate in Hawaii. This may have been a tactical error on their part, Obama's lawyers, in their attempt to kill the case and may it backfire on Obama. Time will tell.

Where Did The Jobs Go?
Randy Wolken, President, MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, responded to a Post Standard editorial about Kodak and Apple in an online article discussing manufacturing in America. In it, he stated “Unlike Kodak, which chose to invest, grow and support manufacturing in America, Apple primarily chose to develop its products in America and sell to Americans, but invest in manufacturing elsewhere, primarily China. Therefore, Apple’s production model has primarily benefited China, where over 700,000 jobs were created. Although that economic model has produced handsome profits for the company and its shareholders, it has not been nearly the winner for American workers”.
Seems ironic that Apple, the darling of the liberal establishment, outsources its manufacturing to China when, according to Wolkken, the human resources to manufacture iPhones and iPads exists right here in the USA. Remember this the next time you pick up your technology gadget.

You are Correct, Doc
I was going to say “You are right, Doc” but that is a given. I have confused your arguments and assertions with those of another correspondent. I cannot find that you have portrayed Obama’s citizenship or lack thereof as a foregone conclusion as many of your fellow conservatives have. At this point, however, I think we have reached an impasse in that we do not agree on the definition of the term “natural born citizen” nor do we agree as to whether the Constitution is a “living” document (as opposed, I guess to being a “dead” document). In my view, the courts seek to apply the provisions of the Constitution or any other law to current situations by interpreting its meaning and intentions. There are other definitions upon which we don’t seem to agree – “natural born citizen” and “native born citizen” being two examples. The definitions that I have found indicate that a “Natural born citizen” is “one who is a citizen by no act of law”, in other words, one who is not a “naturalized citizen”. A “native born citizen” refers to a person who is born to US citizens outside the borders of the country. A “native born citizen” is in fact also a “natural born citizen” by definition . I did not find in my search for clues as to what the founding fathers might have meant by the terms did not indicate that they were concerned with the citizenship of a person’s parents. Seems to me that the attempt of the so called “birthers” to challenge Obama’s right to hold the office of President is a blatant example of twisting the law to fit the desired conclusion. In any event, I think we have beat this horse to death and we are not going to come to any agreement
whatsoever. BTW, I have to agree with Prof Tom’s latest pronouncement – Obama is going to be re-elected handily. It was an election for the Republicans to lose and they are going to do it. I hear a lot of rhetoric about which GOP candidate is more “electable” and it is obvious that, just like here in our Congressional District” neither faction is going to concede and unite behind whoever is nominated. Short sighted? Stubborn? All symptoms of conservatism. The RINO

Only the great one and his party administrators will make those changes. Those who farm the land will continue to and their offspring will be demanded to continue unless they hold a better position such as in the field of sports. This is to show the world our strength as the old days of Russia, Cuba and our other brother countries. Doctors and nurses will also be the best the world has ever seen and they too will be awarded a lifestyle destined by the great one according to their better positions in the society.
You will no longer be expected to pay taxes as that will be already done with the position the great one positions us with. There will be no more unions as the party will be our union and the only one necessary to maintain our new views on law and order. You will be assigned a position and a substantial pay according to your register in our party, along with this the home and vehicle will also be in line with your position. You will be told when to start work and when you will stop, the breaks allowed and the proper clothing allowed for your position. This all for the good of the party and the great one we have made our "Leader for life" will be the sole provider and designer of this great move forward.
A word of wisdom, be sure you do not upset or say any unkind statements in reference to our great leader or you may be banished along with your entire family from this Utopia or your fate could be even worse according to the infraction you created. There will be no dissention of any kind allowed as the party has no room for any distractions in the building of the greatest Socialist Party this world will ever see......Thank you Comrade

People hate the government. Why? Because Wall Street, corporations and warmongers are the government. Simple.

Drip, Drip, Drip: Yet Another Green Energy Stimulus Recipient Hits the Skids (the third this week!)
Yes, a triple header! Three green companies that benefited from taxpayer money had bitten the dust. When you invest your own money into something you make every effort to be assured that it is a wise investment by thoroughly investigating the company. However, when investing the money of others far too many are very willing to take chances since they do not stand to lose personally.
This is what has happened with the taxpayers' money invested by the Obama regime in these green companies. All Obama considered was the fact that it was a green company which promised to eliminate the need of fossil fuels. For the most part they did not investigate the financial conditions of these companies and even when that had been done the Obama regime ignored the bad information and forged ahead anyway.
Read the article in the link below and learn the truth of this latest Obama failure and waste of our money.

How I woke up to the untruths of Barack Obama
During his State of the Union address Obama complained about the banks giving out mortgages to those who could not afford them. Yet he never mentioned that in 1995, as a Chicago politician he fought for an amendment to the Community Reinvestment Act which FORCED banks to give these loans. Not only that, but Obama left out that in 2005, while President Bush and Senator McCain tried to rein in these bad loans, Obama vigorously fought against cutting back on these loans. I have no doubt that Obama agreed with Barney Frank that Fannie and Freddie were just fine that that there was no problem at all possible even into the foreseeable future.
Read the article in the link below and learn the truth as learned by this reported across the big pond. He has awakened to the fraud and hypocrite that Obama is as we Conservatives have been saying since he announced his candidacy.

Discover Clean & Safe Sailboat will be at 2012 Central NY Boat Show
Syracuse, NY -- The Boating Information Center in the Horticulture Building at the Central New York Boat Show February 15-19 is the spot to learn all you need to know about boating safely, legally, and in an environmentally-friendly way on NY waters.
The Center will host the 2012 Discover Clean and Safe Boating educational vessel — a 17-foot Com-Pac Sun Cat sailboat built by Hutchins Company of Clearwater, Florida, and provided by The Sailboat Shop in Skaneateles, NY.
The Sailboat Shop owner and past president of the Boating Industries Association of Upstate New York John Jablonski says, “I am pleased to provide a boat for use with this educational campaign. It is a great way to educate boaters of all interests and ages about how to enjoy New York’s fabulous water resources in a way that is safe, legal and keeps our waters clean.”
The made-in-New-York 12-foot aluminum canoe provided for last year’s show by Marathon Boat Group has been dubbed the E/V Ontario and will also be at the display.
Morgan Recreational Supply and Taylor Made Products have equipped the sailboat and canoe with the gear required and recommended for clean and safe boating on NY waters.
A representative of the new-in-2012 New York Sea Grant Aquatic Invasive Species Resource Educators and Watercraft Inspectors Program will be at the Boating Information Center to help boaters identify ways they can voluntarily help slow or prevent the spread of invasive species.
Stop Aquatic Hitchhikers information will also be available at the Boating Info Center made possible by New York Sea Grant, Boating Industries Association of Upstate New York, Syracuse Sail & Power Squadron, New York State Canal System, New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation, US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and US Department of Homeland Security.
Boating Industries Association of Upstate NY President Fran D’Agata of Fremac Marine in Bridgeport, says, “The Boating Information Center and the Discover Clean and Safe Boat are great attractions and excellent resources for both new and experienced boaters to learn how to boat responsibly, and the Boating Industries Association is very excited to be partnered with everyone involved in the project once again this year.”
In 2011, the BoatUS Foundation for Boating Safety and Clean Water awarded New York Sea Grant Coastal Recreation and Tourism Specialist Dave White and the Discover Clean & Safe Boating campaign a commendation. The campaign is collaboration by NYSG, the Boating Industries Association of Upstate New York, and other marine trade organizations, marine manufacturers, event organizers, and media.

ALWAYS ASK, NEVER ASSUME!!
His request approved, the CNN News photographer
quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport
to charter a flight.
He was told a twin-engine plane
would be waiting for him at the airport.
Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane
warming up outside a hanger.
He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut,
and shouted, 'Let's go'.
The pilot taxied out, swung the plane
into the wind and took off.
Once in the air, the photographer instructed
the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make
low passes so I can take pictures
of the fires on the hillsides.'
'Why?' asked the pilot.
'Because I'm a photographer for CNN'
he responded, 'and I need to get
some close up shots.'
The pilot was strangely silent for a moment,
finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me,
is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'
