Looking back, it is hard to believe that we have lived as long as we have. My Mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs, and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we did not seem to get food poisoning. My Mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes too, but I cannot remember getting E-coli.


As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. Our baby cribs, toys, and rooms were painted with bright colored lead based paint. We often chewed on the crib, ingesting the paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors, or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. We played dodge ball and sometimes the ball would really hurt. We played with toy guns, cowboys and Indians, army, cops and robbers, and used our fingers to simulate guns when the toy ones or my BB gun was not available. We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank sugar soda,but we were never overweight; we were always outside playing.  Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who did not had to learn to deal with disappointment. Some students were not as smart as others or did not work hard so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. That generation produced some of the greatest risk-takers and problem solvers. We had the freedom, failure, success, and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.  Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring), the term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.  We all took gym, not PE... and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I cannot recall any injuries but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now. Flunking gym was not an option... even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym. Every year, someone taught the whole school a lesson by running in the halls with leather soles on linoleum tile and hitting the wet spot. How much better off would we be today if we only knew we could have sued the school system. 

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and the pledge and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention for out the next two weeks. We must have had horribly damaged psyches. I cannot understand it. Schools did not offer 14 year olds an abortion or condoms (we wouldn't have known what either was anyway) but they did give us a couple of baby aspirin and cough syrup if we started getting the sniffles. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything. I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.

 

I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, PlayStation, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital cable stations. I must be repressing that memory as I try to rationalize through the denial of the dangers could have befallen us as we trekked off each day about a mile down the road to some guy's vacant 20, built forts out of branches and pieces of plywood, made trails, and fought over who got to be the Lone Ranger. What was that property owner thinking, letting us play on that lot? He should have been locked up for not putting up a fence around the property, complete with a self-closing gate and an infrared intruder alarm. Oh yeah... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed! We played king of the hill on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome and then we got our butt spanked. Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat. We did not act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked (physical abuse) here too ... and then we got butt spanked again when we got home. Mom invited the door to door salesman inside for coffee, kids choked down the dust from the gravel driveway while playing with Tonka trucks (remember why Tonka trucks were made tough... it wasn't so that they could take the rough Berber in the family room), and Dad drove a car with leaded gas. Our music had to be left inside when we went out to play and I am sure that I nearly exhausted my imagination a couple of times when we went on two week vacations. I should probably sue the folks now for the danger they put us in when we all slept in campgrounds in the family tent. Summers were
spent behind the push lawnmower and I did not even know that mowers came with motors until I was 13 and we got one without an automatic blade-stop or an auto-drive. How sick were my parents? Of course, my parents were not the only psychos. I recall Donny Reynolds from next-door coming over and doing his tricks on the front stoop just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house? Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck. To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that we needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills, that we did not even notice that the entire country was not taking Prozac!

 

How did we survive? Lucky HUH?

Big Kahuna sure agrees with this Do You?

 

 

 

France, the country possessing the greatest parade army in the world and a track record, where war is concerned, of more defeats than a CAT HAS LIVES, are, (NO surprise), objecting to our plans to attack Iraq and have gone on record they will not join us in this effort. However, you may rest assured the moment we appear to be winning they will jump in, they wouldn't want to be absent at the winners table! French military history consists of counting the number of times they have lost wars, then surrendered and cried out for help, to pull their chestnuts out of the fire!  Guess from whom?  (Usually, from we stupid, arrogant Americans.)  However, when called on for a little assistance, for those of you who have forgotten, they refused to allow our planes to over fly their country to go and bomb Libya. This resulted in the death on one of our pilots. I do think they forgot to say they regretted their refusal.

They aren't without some redeeming qualities.  What are they you ask? The French have always made superb wine and are great cooks, along with an arrogance that knows no bounds! This I can say with some authority having been to France many times, with lots of exposure to Paris - the city they always retreat to. They're the only country I know of that has a stack of surrender documents signed by more countries than most people can name! I sure hope that our President, Mr. Bush, accords them the respect they deserve, and that is by ignoring them. Remembering, the next time they call for help of any kind, (and just as sure as the good Lord made the night and day they will!) we should turn a deaf ear to one of the world’s great losers. We might begin by ceasing to refer to them as allies and friends.     

 

 

Just yesterday I saw her on the senate floor, speaking against the high salaries of company CEO's. . . Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator, now comes under this fancy "Congressional Retirement and Staffing Plan," which means that even if she never gets reelected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies. If Bill outlives her, he then inherits HER salary until HE dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary until he dies. If Hillary outlives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies. Guess who pays for that? WE DO!

It's common knowledge that in order for her to establish NY residency, they purchased a million dollar-plus house in upscale Chappaqua, New York. Makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense. Here is where it becomes interesting. Their mortgage payments hover at around $10,000 per month. BUT, an extra residence HAD to be built within the acreage to house the Secret Service agents. The Clinton's charge the Federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of that extra residence, which is just about equal to their mortgage payment. This means that we, the taxpayers, are paying the Clinton's salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security, as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff - and this is all perfectly legal!

When she runs for President, will you vote for her, so they can get yet another president's salary for life?  How many people can YOU send this to? Talk about getting a good screwing without even one kiss! We taxpayers are setting a record!!! Big Kahuna

 

 

A Little Humor –

 

Most doctors agree that politicians are the easiest to operate on.  There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine, and the head and ass are interchangeable.

 

 

When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at its intended victim during a holdup in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder: He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.

An American teenager was in the hospital yesterday recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit. VERITAS! bk

Hi all! I am well aware that many of you don't like to get involved, but perhaps when you read the attached you will be moved to do something. This sort of stuff leaves no room for any of us to be apathetic toward scum like J. Jackson who have only one interest other than themselves, and that is getting as deep into our pockets as they can. Help me by passing this on to your mailing list. It will be a help in itself if folks are made aware. Thanks in advance for your help. Big Kahuna.

I'm only a taxpayer but is it unfair to say that "in politics the SCUM always rises to he top" IMHO the Clintons lead the list of those who deserve the name SCUM!!! I also find it strange (no I don't) that the so called main stream media to the best of my knowledge didn't say a word about clinton (name doesn't deserve a capital letter!  Big Kahuna

Dear Abby,
My husband is a lying cheat. He tells me he loves me, but he has cheated our entire marriage. He is a good provider and has many friends and supporters. They know he is a lying cheat, but they just ignore the issue. He is a hard worker but many of his coworkers are leery of him.  Every time he gets caught, he denies it all. Then he admits that he was wrong and begs me to forgive him. This has been going on for so long, everyone in town knows he is a lying cheat. To top it off, he ignores me just because I am a lesbian. Abby, I just don't know what to do.

Signed, Frustrated

Dear Frustrated:
You should dump him. Now that you are finally a New York Senator, you don't need him anymore.

(I think there may be more truth here than we care to know? BK)

 

 

Don’t know who wrote this, just wish I did! BK

 

I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies. 

 

Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason; that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts!

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens.  Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.

I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that's not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics.

I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!

I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should have to speak English!. My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect
ours.

I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.

I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed.

 

I know what the definition of lying is.

 

I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

 

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document and open to their interpretations.

I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television, and that doesn't stop you from watching them.

I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.

I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.

 

It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little asses when necessary and say "NO".

I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And please stay home until that new lip ring heals, I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me fries!

I am sick of "Political Correctness" and of all the suck ups that go along with it. I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa, so how can they be "African-Americans"?  Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a
European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.

And if you don't like my point of view, it's okay! This is the USA!

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!! Bk

 

 

ANOTHER GOOD REASON FOR NOT BUYING THEIR CARS!

 

ISSUE:  Conservatives have endured name-calling for many years. Liberals like Ted Turner, Jesse Jackson, Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton have called us a lot of things.

Well, now we're being called "myopic" -- that is, "short-sighted" -- which wouldn't be so bad, except that it's coming from a large corporation that *ought* to be on our side:
DaimlerChrysler.

In fact, the DaimlerChrysler executive made the slur in the same breath as he was praising Jesse Jackson!

It was at one of Jackson's "corporate shakedowns" last week that Frank Fountain, senior vice president for government affairs at Daimler Chrysler, told CNSNews.com: "Most of
[Jackson's] critics are conservatives; they have a rather myopic view of the world."

Fountain, at the time, was taking part in Jackson's annual "Wall Street Project" in New York City. DaimlerChrysler, as a "gold sponsor" of the project, had contributed money
to Jackson "in the six figures," Fountain said.

Conservative groups like The National Center for Public Policy Research (nationalcenter.org) have demanded an apology, because conservatives often espouse positions beneficial to automakers. "Conservatives have been active in recent weeks defending the right of consumers to drive SUVs; working to open ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge) to oil drilling; working to end the double-taxation of corporate profits and working for legal reform -- all positions that are good for America, but which happen to benefit Daimler Chrysler," said Amy Ridenour, president of the NCPPR.

"DaimlerChrysler makes large contributions to organizations that oppose all of these positions. That sounds myopic to me," said Ridenour.

ACTION ITEM:  Fountain was not only speaking for himself -- he was speaking for the company that employs him and contributes to Jesse Jackson. "When a company goes out of its way to insult all conservatives," Ridenour noted, "it goes too far."

DaimlerChrysler HAS gone too far; it is not okay to defame an entire group of people based on preconceived biases, and conservatives across the country need to speak out against them with one voice. We've had it with prominent people who believe conservatives are the one group of people it is okay to denigrate. Go to our site below now to send a FREE, pre-written editable message to Frank Fountain at DaimlerChrysler, demanding an apology for his insult to conservatives:

When we the taxpayers stop feeding, clothing and educating the needy, you may rest assured they will turn on us!! Big Kahuna

 

 

Good news for those who wish to bring America, as we know it, down! It has often been said that as a country we will be destroyed from within. Well this governor is the prime example of those who are removing the bricks of our foundation one by one. Old man that I am, it strikes me curious. Will she and her ilk be happier when we are the United States of Mexico? Is it unfair to ask who will give us aid, or help the oppressed when that comes about? Or will we just be another addition to those nations unable to help themselves? Looking for handouts. Compliments to Vincente Fox - he has a goal and has found many gullible cretins to help him achieve it. God help America with so many trying to undermind her!!!!                                    

 

 

The 2000 census taken by the government revealed that there were 8.7 million illegal aliens now (at this moment) living in this country, (they can count them, but can't find them to deport), which is far more than has been disclosed before. Services for these CRIMINALS cost we the taxpayer about 68 Billion a year! It's called our taxes! As if this isn't enough to feel like a "sucker" then pay attention to this folks. There are (at this
moment) 4,000,000 foreigners who now collect SSI benefits from the SS Administration without having to work one day in America. To cap this off it is reported immigrants get Medicaid, 60% more often than Native Americans.  Now here is the one that will effect all our grandchildren. The US census projections indicate that at this present course, in less than 50 years our population will nearly double. At that point non-Hispanic whites will account for only half of all residents. So, fellow taxpayers, English will then be relegated to the position of SECOND language. What a legacy to leave to our grand and great grandchildren. Veritas!  

 

 

Does anyone realize or care how much harm is done to our economy by the actions of our BIG brother government.  These actions, which always seems to increase the price of goods without doing the same for its value! Items whose real price is so inflated by the cost of government plans that we the consumer buy less. Contrary to what the bureaucrats
tell us (the sheeple) about how much we receive for our money. Things like police protection, firemen, schools and other misc. services that we PAY well for with all OUR taxes! Never is any mention made of the plethora of other fool-hardy expenditures, not to even allude to the fraud, and pandering (money squandered) for votes. Should I speak of those foreigners, (Americans in name only) who vote as a monolith, in support of those our leaders, who may further entrench themselves at the public trough! It is the largess of we the taxpayer (those of us who pay taxes) who work to earn money, and have it taken away by those who produce or contribute nothing except more, and more regulations that impede progress. We have to be a great country to survive all of the chicanery that emanates from lotus land on the Potomac! BK

 

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me how much more must we give to our "friend"?  Or better yet when is enough enough?!  However with the power of IPAC in this country, there is no doubt but that they will get it!! Yet there is doubt that the money can be found to take care of those here who are out of work. Many through no fault of their own!

This thought might merit passing on. I wonder if all of my cyber buds are happy with the way things are in our country today? Is the economy making you happy? Is the unemployment rate got you giggly, or on the verge of tears?  If you are, then why not visit the showroom of your nearest foreign car dealer and buy another foreign vehicle? Maybe you can drive the country into even deeper economic problems.  However for those of you who don't remember, we helped rebuild Japan's economy by buying their vehicles. Is there any reason to believe that we cannot help rebuild America's economy by buying American- made vehicles?  It's time to put our money where our home is. Buy American! The country’s economy we save will be ours!! Just a Thought. Big Kahuna

 

 

Thanks but no thanks. Personally I can't think of any occasion that I would have more disdain for. To spend an evening with people who are indulging in a quintessential ego trip, that those pedantic, over glorified folks seem to relish, would be a real waste of time and money!

(Refers to this:)

Come to Washington, D.C.!

Have you ever wanted to get a chance to meet the nation's top political leaders? Now, you can hobnob with more than 150 elected officials, pundits, celebrities, and leaders of the conservative movement who are speaking at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), sponsored by the American Conservative Union Foundation.

As the premier annual event of the conservative movement, CPAC is the only place you can see, hear and meet people like Vice President Dick Cheney, Lt. Col. Oliver North, Ambassador Alan Keyes, Sean Hannity of the Fox News Channel, Rep. Bob Barr, Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily.com, Rep. J.C. Watts, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre, Chuck Colson of Prison Fellowship, columnist Michelle Malkin, House Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay, columnist Ann Coulter, RNC Chairman Marc Racicot, Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum, Rep. Henry Hyde, CNN's Robert Novak, Clinton prosecutor Ken Starr, Steve Moore of Club for Growth, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform, Ward Connerly of the American Civil Rights Institute, Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry of National Review, Sen. Norm Coleman, author David Horowitz, activist Linda Chavez, and MANY MORE!

What's more, the price of CPAC can't be beat! You can hear all these speakers for as little as $90! Even better, if you're a high school or college student with a valid school ID, you can attend CPAC for just $10!

CPAC isn't just an amazing conference featuring the nation's leading conservative speakers; it's also a GREAT chance to network! Where else could you get a chance to meet more than 4,000 conservative activists from across the nation? You'll even get to meet the folks from ConservativeAlerts.com that send you this power-packed email -- who could ask for more?

 

 

One of the Kahuna’s better ideas?

 

When flying insist on a plane with both a bathroom and a chapel. Bk

 

 

I for one ascribe many of our problems both foreign and domestic to the many foreign entanglements we have our selves committed to. We are disliked not as a people particularly, but for the interfering of our government in their politics and our troops that are occupying in over eighty countries in the world! 

It is very simple. In my opinion they hate the USA for supporting their enemy, (dare I say it), Israel by financial and military means and at this moment they are asking for 12 Billion more aid. There will be no stopping this attitude held by so many, as long as those wielding power in our government continue to kow tow to IPAC and it's thinking of Israel first. There is no way this hostility toward us will stop as long as we persist in this course of action alienates so many around the world. I along with many others feel that the way to resolve this is to begin bringing home all our troops to guard our own borders, and protect America. I do think the time is long past for us to take Israel, among others, off the teat. I would include bringing home the troops from Germany. Hasn't it been over fifty years since the war? Germany and many others should be able to carry its own weight by now, DON'T YOU THINK?

It might not be politically correct these days to quote our founding father, George Washington, but he did warn us of foreign entanglements.  However today we seem to have a total disregard for those words of wisdom! I wonder if things could be any worse, if some of these thoughts were put in effect?

 

 

PLEASE add your voice to mine and get behind this. Thanks. BK

Well here is one I'm sure you will join me in trying to stop. There is no end to the gall of people like Breaux and Landrieu and the rest of the scum bags when it comes to screwing us taxpayers!!!! Please make your voce heard! PLEASE

 

January 8, 2003

The new 108th Congress opened for business yesterday and it took
less than one day for the new Congress to show us it is business
as usual in Washington.  The business is spending your money.

Fox News reported two days ago that the U.S. Senate will quietly
spend your money sometime this week to let former Majority Leader
Trent Lott keep his chauffeur and car "to soften the blow" to
Mr. Lott, since he is no longer Senate majority leader.

According to the Fox News report, "There is no known precedent
for a Senate leader of either party who resigned his post in a
similar manner retaining his taxpayer-subsidized car and driver."

You can read the brief Fox News article by clicking
http://foxnews.com/story/0,2933,74770,00.html

Granted, the $100,000 or so that it will cost yearly to provide
Senator Lott with a chauffeur and car is only a drop in the ocean
of federal spending.  Yet it is this kind of sneaky and callous
behavior by the so-called "most deliberative body in the world"
that makes the average taxpayer sea sick.

This afternoon, I called the offices of my two U.S. senators and
was told this Fox News story is accurate.  I then expressed my
objection to this insulting misuse of taxpayers' money.  Please do
the same.

You can send an E-mail message to your two U.S. senators by clicking

Clubbing the Bible!
A pair of students at Monarch High School in Louisville, Colo., are suing because the school refuses to let them start a club that would "teach students biblical principles that will help them in life," the Rocky Mountain News reports. School officials cite "a policy limiting clubs to subjects related to the curriculum." Superintendent George Garcia says a religious club would "intrude into [the] area of personal and spiritual importance reserved for the family."

Sounds reasonable enough. But wait. Doesn't Monarch High have a "Gay/Straight Alliance"? Why yes, but that, Garcia says, is "a product of our health education."

 

 

Talk about American stupidity! If I must be forgiven then please do - this PISSES me OFF COMPLETELY!! When does it stop? Pandering for the votes of the Hispanics whether they are here legally or not. What is the hold Vincente Fox has over our givernment? You would think things like letting Trent Lott keep his limo and driver, so he can handle the shock of his stepping down better would be enough. However this, as grandma use to say, tears the rag off the bush!!!! We the American people are really eligible for the jackasses of the year if we don't start raising plenty hell about these TRAVESTYS!!

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our ground troops in Afghanistan and wherever else they may be.

 

 

Thanks on behalf of Trent Lott, the taxpayers are great, and generous!

As I sit pondering the records I, we as a couple, must keep to prepare to pay our taxes, I wonder why so many of we citizens must work so hard and devote so much time doing this annual ritual! The politically incorrect question that is paramount and continues to plague me is why is it that my government has so much to say, in what I am allowed to keep of my OWN money? I along with many others that face this question year after
year, feel that we should have the right to ask is, how much of "OUR MONEY" should we allow the government to spend on their plethora of social redistribution programs, here and abroad? The politicians in lotus land on the Potomac (Washington DC) seem to whole heartily subscribe to the theory that to get themselves permanently ensconced at the public trough, the taking from the haves and giving to the have nots, is the best way to accomplish this (at no cost to themselves). They seem to be firm believers in that old saying " he who robs Peter to pay Paul, always gets Paul’s vote. With so many Pauls in our country with their hands in the inverted position, this philosophy seems to work
extremely well.

 

 

Here is a hell of a thought to ponder!

 

Where we the people set no effective limits on the state or federal government , all property and whatever we feel we own, is ultimately their property. We keep only what the they allow us to keep. Think about it!  :-o(   

 

 

The liberal way!  Divide and conquer.

 

Planting the seed of hate and attempting to perpetuate the falsehood that all Republicans are racists, is the mission, or so it seems, that the liberal press has dedicated themselves .They are aided an abetted by their news reader colleagues in the broadcast media. Had President Bush stood by Sen. Lott, he would have indeed aided those dispensers of fallacious information by condoning Lott's stupid remarks. So as of this moment most of the "race hustlers" in this country (we all know who they are) still haven't accepted an apology from Lott, so it's obvious at least to me, President Bush was both prudent and wise to do what was right.

The disingenuous tone, of the liberal journalist and those in the broadcast media was easy to spot, because the comments were couched in emotion, rather than truth and logic. Liberals respond only to the emotional side of things. Whereas conservatives respond to truth and logic. This is something that the Jacksons, Sharptons, Pelosi and Schumer, and last but not least Maxine Watters, along with her clone, Shelia Jackson Lee of Texas, and the Kennedy and Hillary cabal, are not even remotely familiar with. We have to be a strong country to survive the likes of these masters of duplicity and deceit.

 

 

Humor –

 

I'll never forget that horrible evening I took my grandmother to the emergency room. And after an hour of pacing the doctor said, "Sir, your grandmother is on an artificial life support system. Although her brain is dead, her heart is still beating."
I said, "Oh my God, we've never had a Democrat in the family before."

 

 

I know that I am of a generation whose values and sense of patriotism may be a little out dated. However, having said that, why are the print and electronic media being allowed to telegraph every move our troops, both air and ground, make in preparing for the coming war? What ever happened to the WW2 system of keeping your mouth shut? Is the media too benighted to understand all these reports go directly to the enemy! You know and I hope most reading this, understand they are the people who will be killing our sons and daughters. Would it hurt to start remembering the saying "LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS" and "The enemy is listening" ?

 

 

I for one feel that to allow ourselves to be blackmailed by a country that cannot feed its people is a serious mistake. Even Kipling had some thoughts on this type situation. Read his Dane Geld and see if yhere are those of you who see the wisdom in it as it pertains to our dealings with N.Korea. I might also add don't forget Neville Chamberlin 1939

Dane-Geld
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say: --
"We invaded you last night -- we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane.
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: --
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay ANY one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Proud to submit this. BK

They Keep Driving Dixie Down
by Steven Greenhut

I've been thinking a lot about that song lately, given the drubbing the South has been taking in the media. (Not just the national media, but in the Southern newspapers as well. Self-hating Southerners, I suppose.) I keep wondering why no one, besides LewRockwell.com and a few others, will stand up for the South against this latest reconstruction of history.

Why aren't more people outraged when Democratic congressman and Presidential candidate Dick Gephardt, D-Missouri, said "the Confederate flag no longer has a place flying anytime, anywhere in our great nation"? What right does he have to tell South Carolina what flag to hoist on the statehouse grounds, or to tell me what to fly in my own
yard?

If Americans had any courage, rebel flags would pop up everywhere just to spite him.

Why aren't more people outraged that the Democrats are going to drag a good Southern judge's name through the mud, based mainly on the fact that he is a Republican from Mississippi? Instead of defending the judge's record, the new Senate Majority Leader - a Tennesseean, no less - told National Public Radio that Judge Charles Pickering really is a friend of minorities. Why didn't he say that the judge is a friend of all Americans' liberties, no matter their race or ethnic heritage?

Groveling gets one nowhere in the mean world of Washington politics. Back to that great song, lush with atmosphere. I love the version by The Band, but Joan Baez did a credible job too. But one shouldn't be too willing to admit a fondness for such lyrics these days:

Virgil Caine is my name and I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65 we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell, it's a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing?"

The song touches on the noble Confederate cause, yet to admit that the South embodies some of the most honorable traditions in American history is akin to saying that one believes in lynching and wants to restore slavery.

It's nonsense, of course. But those who want to destroy the reputation of an entire region smell blood now that they drove Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott down from his post. Lott, of course, said some generous things about a 100-year-old colleague, praising Strom Thurmond's presidential run on the Dixiecrat ticket. I've been to many going away parties, where speakers say overly effusive things that aren't meant to be thought about too closely. But in the world of Washington gotcha, the Democrats scored a big victory.
Despite the ambush, Lott and the Republicans could have turned the problem into an opportunity to inform and enlighten the public. Rather than deplore segregation while explaining that the States Rights Party's platform was remarkably close to the platform of America's founders, Lott became a born-again supporter of affirmative action, and was cast aside by most everyone, Democrat and Republican. Conservatives, especially those cheeky young neocons who run the publications that represent the pitiful remnants of a once great movement, were the worst distorters of the truth.  Their goals are not based on principle, but on partisan maneuvering. How can the GOP refashion itself into a hip, new party that appeals to minorities, with baggage such as this? That was their motivating thought, even though no one in their right mind believes that black Americans will in our lifetime abandon their commitment to Democratic socialism in favor of Republican national socialism.

I'm not interested in being hip, if hip means abandoning the limited-government principles that are supposed to be the bedrock of the Republican Party. I'm more concerned about salvaging a few scraps of Christian civilization than being an acceptable guest at cool parties.  If defending the truth means a temporary setback in one's long-term political strategy, so be it.  But it keeps getting worse. In California, a candidate for the state Republican chairmanship, Bill Back, has been savaged for having in 1999 distributed an article by William Lind asking "What if the South Had Won the Civil War." One cannot even ask a serious historical question, or distribute an article that asks such a question, or argue that Reconstruction destroyed race relations in the South, without being drubbed into silence. (Whatever happened to free academic debate? Oh
yeah, it exists, but only for those on the left side of the political spectrum, such as when a black Vanderbilt professor argued recently in a Nashville newspaper that Confederate soldiers should have been executed like dogs.)

"The thoughts behind it [the Lind article] have no place in modern America," thundered Jim Brulte, the California GOP's principle-less Senate Republican leader. Now, we're not even allowed to think incorrect thoughts.

Is this still America?

Secretary of State Colin Powell argued that there was nothing of any value coming out of the States Rights Party platform, which - as one writer noted on this Web site - means that Powell either hasn't read the platform or doesn't believe in the US Constitution.

Why does the South evoke so much hatred?  It's not the region's racial past. I grew up in the supposedly enlightened North, where segregation was even more rife. I lived in a 95-percent white county that bordered on heavily black Philadelphia.  There was no integration, other than the nasty, government-mandated kind - such as when the feds plopped a hideous, crime-ridden high-rise housing project in the midst of settled South Philly Italian neighborhoods.

In my travels, I've found less respect for blacks by white people up North, than by white people toward their black neighbors down South.  When I lived in the South, most of the blacks I knew had a respect for their region, and were far less willing than northern liberals to denigrate all things Southern and often had a sense of humor about racial issues.

Here's the answer. Modern-day liberals, and the Cold War liberals who claim the mantle of the conservative movement, understand that the idea of the South - the South that stood up to northern aggressors, to Reconstruction-era dictators, and to federal authorities in the civil rights era - still resonates among those Americans who want to stand up to centralized government.  They know that honoring rather than running down the South (and Christendom, for that matter) can ignite resistance to their political goals. That's what this really is about.

If the South stands only for racial hatred, why is a Romanian friend of mine here in Southern California, who spent much of his life living under a communist tyranny, and who has never been to the South, so eager to fly the stars and bars from his car's antenna?
I grew up as far, psychologically, as one could get from the Deep South.  Yet I remember kids often sporting the rebel flag on T-shirts and on car bumpers. My Dad, despite his hopelessly left-wing politics, insisted until his dying day that the Southern cause was a righteous one. It was a view he freely expressed, even I suspect in the New Jersey public school classroom where he taught social studies. My family was more Seinfeld than Gone with the Wind, yet I learned to have a healthy respect for my neighbors below the Mason and Dixon line.

When I moved for a short time to middle Tennessee in my late 20s, I was disappointed by the degree to which the region embraced the national culture. The ideas that are destroying America are destroying the South also. But there was something special about the place nonetheless. There was the warmth and friendliness of the people, and the independent, conservative, and Christian attitudes that hung on. I got tired of the small town ethic, with its limited career opportunities and frightfully slow pace of life. Still, I remember the South with fondness, and wonder where the Southerners are now to defend their homes, their history, their sense of honor.

Maybe they can't get their voices heard in a media dominated by liberals and neoconservatives, the two sides most eager to portray the South as a dark and mystical place where everyone harbors a secret desire to lynch his black neighbors. Whatever the case, it's a sad commentary on our society. Even sadder still that one cannot defend the South in polite company. It's a good thing I have no plans for public office.

To the President

 

My Dear Mr. President,

 

Speaking as one of the many who are so proud to be called a  supporter of yours and what you stand for. May I take the liberty and say that Tom Daschle and the Democrat leaders in the Senate who are sabotaging your tax cuts and economic agenda along with spending restraint, need to be brought to heel. Maybe Rush Limbaugh’s idea of getting your leaders in the congress to speak with Mr. Daschle - pointing out to him, (that it will be dead on arrival) for any and all things being pushed by Daschle's wife, as she lobbies for her clients before the congress controlled by we (thank God!) Republicans. I suspect that Mr. Daschle would have an attitude adjustment in a hurry!

This would be called hardball, sort of the type Daschle and his cabal play. As for me and my friends - staunch Republicans all. We think you, Mr. President, are doing a magnificent job. If there are any faults to be found, (it might be called a fault?) you are too nice to Tom Daschle and the Senate Democrats. Please make Ari Fleisher refrain from saying that the Senate is holding up your appointments and say it as it is. It's Daschle and that liberal cabal that are doing all the obstructing. At your next State of The Union Address, this should be made abundantly clear to all Americans. I for one don't believe Daschle and his ilk could stand the heat this would bring about.

 

May the good Lord continue to bless America and you and your family.

With deep respect,

BK  

 

 

Here is one you all should join me in voicing you opinion.  PLEASE DO!!
IT costs nothing to help put a stop to this. Thanks.

http://www.conservativealerts.com/011303.htm

 

 

I have written WILL you?

 

ISSUE:  Since they haven't been able to get amnesty for illegal aliens (yet), the Mexican government is trying a new tactic: give them Mexican I.D. cards, and get the U.S. toaccept those cards as "proper identification" in order to receive social services and related privileges usually reserved for legal citizens.

And now, ultra-liberal U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has endorsed a pilot program allowing a federal building in San Francisco to accept the Matricula Consular (identification cards issued by the Mexican Consulate) as a legitimate form of identification for visitors.

That's right: I.D. cards for illegal immigrants.

According to recent newspaper accounts, Rep. Pelosi supports a plan to make the Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco a much more unsafe facility by allowing illegal aliens entrance to the building after showing an identity card provided by a foreign government. These cards are being distributed by Mexican Consular officials throughout the United States in the hope that cities and states will accept them as proper I.D. One man arrested in California was carrying three cards with different names.

The Phillip Burton Federal Building in San Francisco is the first of its type in the country to accept Mexican Consulate identification cards. The building began accepting the cards
on Wednesday, January 8, 2003, as part of a four-month trial program, which will mainly serve illegal immigrants who are ineligible for U.S. identification.

What happens if the "trial program" is "successful"? You got  it -- this program will be forcibly instituted in government buildings throughout the United States, giving supporters of amnesty for illegal immigrants more firepower to push their agenda through.

This MUST be stopped.

ACTION ITEM:  U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, is outraged, and for good reason.  "It is extremely disconcerting to see agents of a foreign country actively trying to lobby
American elected officials to aid and abet lawbreakers, but it is even more infuriating when cities and members of Congress become co-conspirators," said Tancredo.

According to the Washington Times, "cardholders are widely recognized to be in the United States illegally" because they otherwise would be able to obtain state-issued cards, such as driver's licenses. "Even New York State and New York City, believe it or not, have decided to not accept the Matricula Consular cards because of the dangerous situation that puts people in," Rep. Tancredo said.

We need to make sure this doesn't spread and lead to a successful push for "amnesty" for illegal immigrants. Legislation is being prepared by Rep. Tancredo right now that
will put a STOP to Rep. Pelosi's liberal nonsense -- and conservatives across the nation need to demand that Congress pass that legislation IMMEDIATELY! Go to our site below to send a personalized Western Union "Hotline" mailgram to all of your Congressmen -- your Representative and both Senators -- for just $21 (which is less than HALF what it would cost you to send three mailgrams yourself!):

 http://www.campaigncontribution.com/alerts/idcard2/

 

 

I wrote the following letter to all my reps. In Washington.


Vincente Fox will be scoring another inroad, with the help of Ms. Nancy Pelosi. if we allow the accepting of  foreign ID cards. This is something that she has already set in motion at the Federal building in San Francisco. This will encourage illegal immigrants to continue to break the law and create an unsafe atmosphere in the United States. There is no one in the United States of America that needs a foreign-issued ID card other than someone who is here illegally or someone here who is a felon (we have enough of those who are native born).It is simply NOT the responsibility of our government to accept a foreign government's card.

Cards are issued by foreign governments through their consular offices to cardholders that are widely recognized to be in the United States illegally, because they otherwise would be able to obtain state-issued cards, such as driver's licenses. Some of these cards, such as the Matricula Consular card from Mexico, can be obtained simply by printing
out a blank Mexican birth certificate from the Internet and filling in some information. There are reports that one man arrested in California was carrying three cards with different names. Is there anything Ms. Pelosi won't do to pander for votes? Including selling out our security?

This travesty MUST be stopped. Please support legislation that would STOP federal facilities from accepting foreign-issued identification cards as valid identification in order to enter the building.

Thank you.

 

 

There is no one in this world who can say we Americans are not a generous people. For example our magnanimous and inane government immigration Policy, which from where I sit, encourages all foreigners to exploit every loophole (and there is a plethora of them) to get in. The most heinous of these in my humble opinion is allowing pregnant women to sneak across our border so their babies will be American citizens! This also opens the door for their families, to our more than chivalrous welfare system. Then they add insult to injury. They do this by having mastered the system of bringing in elderly relatives, who are then able to take advantage of our Social Security system, this turns America into the most deluxe and grand retirement plan the third world has ever seen. There use to be a slang term for what we allow to be done to us. It's called "SUCKERS."

Do you agree?  

 

 

With all this on their minds how in hell can they devote any time to the people’s business??  Or does it matter? Bk

On spending your money...

Our January 8th update told you about Fox News' report of the U.S. Senate's plan to quietly let Republican Senator Trent Lott keep his chauffeur and car "to soften the blow" to Mr. Lott, since he is no longer Senate majority leader (even though Senator Lott's Washington home is only five blocks from the Capitol building). http://www.thelibertycommittee.org/update01.08.03.htm

In an act of true bipartisan cooperation, the U.S. Senate also plans to let Democrat Senator Robert Byrd, who is no longer the president pro tempore or chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, keep his chauffeur and car, according to the January 8, 2003 edition of "Roll Call."

Ed Henry of "Roll Call" reports, "While insiders tell HOH [Heard on the Hill] that Lott may get the title of 'Majority Leader Emeritus' to help cushion the blow of his fall from grace, Byrd has had some difficulty of his own relinquishing the President Pro Tem and Appropriations Committee chairman posts - and all of the perks that came with those jobs.  Insiders described Byrd as being practically holed up in his Capitol office space over the holiday break, refusing to give up his rooms to Senator Ted Stevens (R-Alaska)
without a remarkable array of handouts."  Senator Stevens has replaced Senator Byrd as chairman of the Committee on Appropriations and president pro tempore.

The remarkable array of handouts for Senator Byrd includes the new title of "President Pro Tem Emeritus," new office space and continued use of a chauffeur-driven car.  Henry also reports that Senator Byrd "is also pushing hard for an allotment of funds for extra committee staff."

Makes you wonder if the Republicans will ever learn to play hardball like the Dem's? What did the Republicans win? Frist is giving in just like Lott. What the Dem's want they get. BUSINESS AS USUAL!!!! bk

 

CONGRESS IN SESSION (Sort of)

 

THE SENATE

As of Wednesday, January 15th, every committee in the Senate was still run by Democrat chairmen.  Senator Lieberman (D-CT) still held the gravel as chairman of the Committee on Government Affairs and Senator Inhofe (R-OK) still had not taken over from Senator Jeffords (D-VT) at the Environment and Public Works Committee. Was there a Democrat coup in the Senate? Sort of. The Senate Democrats were refusing to vote on an "organization plan" under the new Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Despite losing the election in November the Democrats are demanding that they receive equal committee funding to the Republicans. This was despite the fact that the tradition has always been for the winning party to have 2/3 of committee funding.

 

On Wednesday evening an agreement was finally reached by Majority Leader Frist and chief Democrat obstructionist, Senator Tom Daschle. Under the plan the Democrats will receive 40% of the funding and office space instead of the traditional 33%. Also, two important committees will be evenly split rather than having a Republican majority. The committees in question are Intelligence and Ethics. The committees will have Republican chairmen.

 

Senator Frist is in a hurry to move forward with the conservative agenda, including a partial-birth abortion ban and I believe this is why he made the deal. It was far better than allowing the Senate to be shut down by the Democrats while they insisted on having 49% of committee funds. Although some social conservative groups were at first skeptical of Frist on abortion, his statements on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, January 12th brought him cheers from pro-lifers and the anger of the Hillary Clinton crowd. Below is his answer to a question on abortion by Tim Russert:

 

MR. RUSSERT: Abortion—what will happen with abortion in this session?

SEN. FRIST: Well, I don't know exactly what will happen. We are just beginning sort of all the planning in terms of what particular bills. I think things like partial-birth abortion—and I can tell you as a physician who has been in the operating room for thousands of days and hundreds of thousands of hours, the whole concept of partial-birth abortion offends the sensibilities of me as a physician. It's a rogue procedure. It's not in the medical textbooks. Something like that where we've got not consensus but broad, broad support among the American people, I can see that coming very, very quickly.

MR. RUSSERT: Let me turn to Iraq. Are we on the cusp of war? ... Please note that as soon as Frist came out strongly against abortion Russert changed the subject.

THE HOUSE

Not much going on here either. Social conservative groups, including representatives of the Religious Freedom Coalition, were to meet with congressional leaders on Thursday, January 15th. Late on Wednesday we were notified that the House was adjourning early this week.

 

THE WHITE HOUSE

The horror of legal abortion began in the United States on January 23,  1973. Since then, more than 42,000,000 Americans have died at the hands of abortion doctors. Under President Ronald Reagan the public funding of abortions was stopped, and this saved many lives.  However, Bill Clinton overturned much of what Reagan had done. President Bush has done much to undo the damage done to the pro-life movement during the Clinton Administration. For the second year in a row President George W. Bush has issued a proclamation declaring the anniversary of the Row V. Wade case as National Sanctity of Life Day.

 

In his proclamation President Bush cites his signing of the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act as an important contribution to efforts to care for human life. Prior to the passage of the law, if a child was born alive during an abortion procedure he was placed aside in a steel pan and allowed to die. In one infamous case it took many hours for the child to die. To see the full text of the proclamation click here.

 

MEANWHILE: All six Democrat candidates for president have agreed to appear at a pro-abortion event on the anniversary of Roe V. Wade put on by NARAL  (the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights League). They include Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), Sen. John Kerry (D-MA), Rep. Richard Gephardt (D-MO), Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT), Rev. Al Sharpton and professed Orthodox Jew, Senator Joe Lieberman (D- CT). One Orthodox rabbi said of Lieberman, "He is not an Orthodox Jew; he is an orthodox liberal."

 

ALSO: Have you seen the abortion map of the United States showing how many people are missing from America because of abortion? God hates this murder of the unborn. Some say America will be punished, but this is not quite true. America is being punished now-- by recession, unemployment and illegal immigration. Those 42,000,000 murdered babies represent 21,000,000 houses that will never be built and 21,000,000 beds that will never be slept in. There would be no room nor would there be a reason for illegal immigrants to come to the United States for jobs because those millions of Americans who have been murdered by abortion would be employed in those jobs.

 

Abortion has harmed America spiritually and economically. If America becomes a Spanish speaking nation the true reason will have been the abortions that opened up the jobs for illegal aliens. Think about the damage that has been done to our faith, our nation and our culture in the name of abortion on demand.

 

THE MIDDLE EAST

The Religious Freedom Coalition and Congresswoman Jo Ann Davis have been front page news around the world. The story broke this week that Congresswoman Davis had written a letter to the Israeli Ambassador on behalf of the Religious Freedom Coalition asking for help in saving the lives of two Palestinian Christian brothers. The brothers, Nasser and Saeed Salame, are under a death sentence from the Palestinian Authority. Their crime? They were Muslims who converted to Christ and then led their families to the Lord.

 

Saeed was held in a hole dug in the ground for seven months by Yassar Arafat’s "police" hoping this would return him to his Islamic roots. When it didn't he was sent home with the understanding that a member of FATAH would track him down and kill him outside of the police station. (Saeed was a member of FATAH as a youth. He renounced the violence of the organization when he became a Christian. This was yet another reason for his death sentence.) He escaped to Israel, as did his brother Nasser. Both brothers have received temporary status in Israel because they are under the threat of death, but the permits are expiring. Congresswoman Davis asked the Ambassador to help extend those permits to asylum status so the brothers could bring their families to Israel until another nation would accept them.

 

The 14-year-old nephew of the brothers was murdered at school on November 14th. He was detained after school by a teacher. An 18-year-old student then stabbed him to death in front of the teacher. The police were not called; the family was merely told to come and pick up the body. We believe the teenager was murdered in hopes Nasser and Saeed would come to the funeral where they could be murdered. Officially the Palestinian Authority says they are condemned for being Israeli collaborators. In reality they have been condemned to death for converting other Muslims to Christ.

 

Read the front page story about our efforts to save the brothers at Worldnetdaily. The Israeli and other foreign press have reported the story but the liberal press in America has ignored it. Why?

 

We continue to seek families in the United States who will sponsor legal immigration of Palestinian Christians who have been persecuted by Yassar Arafat and his Islamic gangs. If you are in a position to sponsor the families of these brothers or others please call my office at 1-202-543-0300 in Washington, DC.

 

Had the 14-year-old, Abdullah Rauf, been in a Christian school in the West Bank he would still be alive. His family did not have the money to place him in a private Christian school. The RFC supports several Christian schools in the West Bank. If you would like to contribute to our work in the West Bank please contribute online.

 

You can also help by telling others about the situation of persecuted Christians under Islamic rule. Please forward this e-mail to your friends. If this Legislative Update has been forwarded to you and you would like to sign up, you can do so at our Internet site. Also, you can purchase our latest documentary, Holy Land Terror: Islamic Persecution of Christians for just $20.00 postage paid at our online store. This documentary has actual scenes from Palestinian TV and Palestinian schools run by Yassar Arafat.  Please order a copy and show it to your Sunday School Class.

Our Great President 

       
Whether you do or do not like George W. Bush as our President, this message reveals some interesting plateau's he has reached.  First, an observation. Have you noticed a difference in the salute given by our military men and women as President Bush walks by?  Most folks would not notice anything, but those of us who have served in the military see it right away.  Next time pay attention when President Bush leaves his helicopter or Air Force One.

The honor guards salute and face him as he disembarks, then turn their faces towards him as he passes by.  They continue to salute his back as he walks away. This kind of salute has not been seen in many years, though it is a customary courtesy to the Commander-in-Chief.  You see, soldiers aren't required to turn and face the President as they salute. They are only required to salute.

Why is such respect afforded to President Bush? 

The following incident from Major General Van Antwerp may give us an insight. Gen. Antwerp is president of the Officers' Christian Fellowship.  He lost nearly all his staff when the Pentagon was attacked September 11th His executive officer LTC Brian Birdwell was badly burned and in the hospital when President Bush visited him.  Our President spent time and prayed with Brian. As he was getting ready to leave, he went to the foot of Brian's bed and saluted.  The injured soldier returned the salute out of respect
to his President .... a Soldiers' President....and Mine!!  Bk

 

In this time of war and danger, I am so grateful to have a President whom the soldiers
salute -- fully.Big Kahuna

 

 

My God you won't believe this! Please read and react by joining me in trying to put a stop to this stupid travesty, SEND THE LETTER. You might be interested in the way the Kahuna did a little editing.......

As Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) puts it, "dark clouds are gathering over our already dangerously fragile Social Security system."

In December, the press reported on a terribly inane looming deal between the United States and the government of Mexico, which would make hundreds of thousands of Mexican citizens eligible for U.S. Social Security benefits. Worse still, thousands of foreigners who would qualify for U.S. Social Security benefits actually came to the United States and worked here illegally. What collection of cretins gave birth to this travesty in the making? 

Social Security should be limited to United States citizens and nationals who have paid into the system. It should not be a global giveaway. The "Social Security Preservation Act" would ensure that all money in the Social Security trust fund is spent solely on Social Security.

As Congress continues to demonstrate an inability to control spending that threatens the Social Security trust fund, the need for this legislation has never been greater. Please support Rep. Ron Paul's "Social Security Preservation Act" this session of Congress. We will all be watching for your actions on this legislation. Thank you. BK

The Washington Post (19 December 2002) reports:
"Saddam's point of view is, you fight with everything you've got." One [Pentagon] official said. "He might use it right away, but he'll certainly use it when he thinks he's about to fall.
"In preparation for such attacks,” the officials said, “Iraq has most likely shifted some of its stores of anthrax, botulism, ricin and mustard gas nearer to forces that would employ them."

 

BK says, "Many reports say that he will surround his troops with women and children .In that case I pray that our troops have the fortitude to do what must be done. We have the stuff, but do we have the will to use it? Then SURVIVE"

It's called WAR!!  Big Kahuna

 

 

Well the shuttle is off again this time with a pilot from the Israel air force. It's good to have friends(?) on board. It will make it easier for him than it was for Jonathan Pollard, or does anyone remember him? We will never learn. This just points up how powerful those whose hearts and minds are in their desired homeland are!  

 

 

 

 

Lets turn our thoughts for a moment to our border with Mexico. God knows someone should!  The Republicans seem to have no real desire to stem the tide of illegal immigrants sneaking in droves across  our border with Mexico, because their buds in big business need and insist on the cheap labor these illegal immigrants provide. The Democrats by the same token have no room to crow with innocence. They have their axe to grind! They don't want to interfere with the illegal immigrants and encourage it, because these immigrants legal or illegal constitute a potential voting bloc for anyone believed to be a Democrat. Never lose sight of the fact it is always the Democrats who call for amnesty and pander to those illegal immigrants already established here. The only ox that gets gored here is we the taxpaying public!! Maybe you agree?

 

 

Wish it weren’t true!

 

Our Government - All three branches are controlled by lawyers, who, by their actions,  could not make a living as lawyers, but are well trained to ignore the Constitution.

 

 

1974, private U.S. citizens were allowed to buy and own gold for the first time in more than 40 years. For this we should all be grateful? However what the public wasn't told
was that we would have to purchase the gold from all the coin dealers (guess who controls that as they control the diamond market) at a markup that would gag a maggot!!! Another one of the things we can be grateful to FDR for. If there are those of you with doubt,  PLEASE attempt to buy gold coins from OUR MINT, (I HAVE), that we as taxpayers pay to have minted by the US mint? They can only be bought from dealers
around the country. (I am not referring to gold jewelry). However, I am grateful that our government is as good to us plebeians as they are!!!  

 

 

For those of you who have no idea of how truly wonderful life in this country was before all this PC garbage, then listen up! Sit down with some of your older relatives, grandparents for starters. From them you can expect the truth (no revision) about the way it was. You better hurry because we older folks are disappearing faster than you would
suspect or than we like! I think a great example is WW2 those who gave so much to defend this country at that time are becoming very scarce. So is the truth about that time. Check it out.

 

 

A Kahuna Chuckle

 

There was this little boy about 12 years old walking down the sidewalk dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him. He came up to the doorstep of a house of ill repute and knocked on the door. When the Madam answered it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted. He said, "I want to have sex with one of the women inside. I have the
money to buy it, and I'm not leaving until I get it."

The Madam figured, why not, so she told him to come in. Once in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked. He asked, "Do any of the girls have any diseases?"

Of course the Madam said no.

He said, "I heard all the men talking about having to get shots after making love with Amber. THAT'S the girl I want."

Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it, the Madam told him to go to the first room on the right. He headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him. Ten minutes later he came back, still dragging the frog, paid the Madam,
and headed out the door.  The Madam stopped him and asked, "Why did you pick the only girl in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others?"

He said, "Well, if you must know, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant to eat, leaving me at home with a baby-sitter. After they leave, my baby-sitter will have sex with me because she just happens to be very fond of cute little boys. She will then get the disease that I just caught. When Mom and Dad get back, Dad will take the baby-sitter home. On the way, he'll jump the baby-sitter's bones, and he'll catch the disease. Then when Dad gets home from the baby-sitter's, he and Mom will go to bed and have sex, and Mom will catch it. In the morning when Dad goes to work, the Milkman will deliver the milk, have a quickie with Mom and catch the disease, and HE'S the
son-of-a-bitch who ran over my FROG!!!"

The Kahuna had always thought that the state of Mass. had it's claim to the sleeze factor hall of fame via the Kennedy family. Read this and see how wrong I was. The Kennedys only rate a spot in line!

1811, Sen. Timothy Pickering, a Federalist from Massachusetts, became the first senator to be censured after being accused of violating congressional law by publicly revealing secret documents communicated by the president to the Senate.

 

 

Bill Clinton's Draft Records from the Freedom of Information Act files show he was a Pardoned Federal Felon.
Here are the facts:

* Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 8, 1964, accepting all contractual
conditions of registering for the draft.
Given Selective Service Number 3 26 46 228.

* Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.

* Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.

* Bill Clinton dishonors order to report and is not inducted into the military.

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States Army Reserves
on August 7,1969 under authority of Col. E.  Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.

* Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at the University of Arkansas ROTC,
September 1969.

* Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969, as enlistment with Army Reserves
is revoked by Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2)(a) 'registrant who has failed to report...remain liable for induction'.

* Bill Clinton's birth date lottery number is 311, drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has already been ordered to report for induction, is INELIGIBLE!

* Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive from justice under Public Law
90-40.

* Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General (1976), while a fugitive from justice.

* Bill Clinton receives pardon on January 21, 1977 from Carter.

* Bill Clinton FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON ever to serve as President.

All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests, public laws, and various books that have been published, and have not been refuted by Clinton.  This just goes to reaffirm how truly wonderful America is. It also proves (to me at least) "that in government the scum always rises to the top"!!

 

 

My country, how proud I am to be an American! Having said that. I am soooo disappointed at my perception that today most of American society encourages dependency and passivity. Which has led to a democracy that does not vote,a government that passes more and more laws, but a people that has become more and more lawless. As if that weren't enough our culture seems to be evolving into one that neither thinks or feels, except what it is told or tricked into thinking and feeling! Think about it.

 

 

I have been under the impression that a huge amount of money is being sent to almost every other country by the United States, to aid their economic development and welfare. Am I wrong?  In this time of our economic problems, I have often wondered what would
happen if we merely stopped sending money to all those other countries?  For sure they wouldn't or couldn't like us less! It seems to me we would be better off if we stopped doing so, and used that money to try and solve our problems here at home, God knows we have an abundance of those!  Do you suppose that we could get the other countries to assist us instead? Don't hold your breath.

 

 

What an announcement! the postal service is printing a stamp to honor American Muslims (none of which my friends will purchase, if offered to us at the post office)! Is it any wonder that the Kahuna sits and wonders at all we do, to satisfy and pander to so many, that in the final analysis hate most of what we believe in. There seems to be no
secret about the fact, that today in most Islamic controlled countries, there is no joy. We Christians are operating under some sort of threat and extreme danger, for practicing our faith with our fellow Christians. Muslims who chooses to accept Christianity must also fear for their lives!. While we here in the United States are inundated with a barrage of fallacious propaganda. All telling us what a peaceful religion the Islamic faith, as practiced by those in our midst is. Except that all over the globe they seem to be trying to exterminate us! Now as the Islamic faith sweeps through our country, we as a people must come to grips with one indisputable truth! "Everyone on this planet does not love us!” We must be ever cognizant of this and stay informed. The time is long past for the Christian churches to issue a clarion call that its people wake up and rally to the support of the Christians being murdered, tortured and generally punished for their belief in our Lord Jesus Christ! There must be an   awareness that we are not liked now so what have we to lose by being strong and declaring ourselves? History being the best guide for man, has NEVER respected the weak. At least not that the Kahuna is aware of.

 

 

Those of you who have read this before, will just have to bear up. It is a must for those whose palms are in the inverted position, along with those who think the world and this country owe them everything!! It will do you all well, if you pass it along to all those
you know. Trust me. Big Kahuna

The following was written by Lewis Napper.

"We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other
liberal, bed-wetters.

We hold these truths to be self-evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill of No Rights.

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone - not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc., but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.  Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You don't have the right to demand that our children risk their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny hat.

ARTICLE IX: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want all of you to have one, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE X: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to pursue happiness - which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

 

 

Our world, like it or not, is one where violent crime and diseases brought on by a lack of moral fiber and a sexually permissiveness lifestyle are rampant almost epidemic. Family is no longer the center for a value system being taught. Mental illness seems to have increased, even the school yard isn't safe any longer. Does Sodom and Gomorrah strike a chord? Citizens have been led to believe that hedonism should be our only goal. The great pursuit, live for today and grab anything and everything while you can! Who can or would deny these are great goals for putting together a Godless society! 

When thinking of children we Christians, must come to believe it is imperative that we must stop the liberals so that this coming year isn't referred to as the Godless year! If we allow liberals to nominate Judges and law MAKING courts, then allowing the butchering of the unborn, is what the coming year will be like. These liberals, no matter how you view it, are trying to be the determining factor, as to whether or not the unborn live or die! I for one am most grateful that the Kennedy's, Hillary and the likes of Patty Murray are not the final word any longer. We have a decent God-fearing President George Bush, who will be nominating and my party confirming, our future conservative judges and justices. This will be, so long as we, the people, keep them in the drivers seat and continue to feel that doing away with the unborn is completely unacceptable policy! With help from God and fellow conservatives, we will find that there is nothing wrong with a little hedonism, but it must not include the murder of the unborn as we go that way!!!

 

I want you all to know that I do my very best each day, often as I may, along with the Big Kahuna, to communicate in a very straightforward, and clear manner the things that catch our eye and should be of particular interest to all my friends. As we celebrate the passing of 2002 and bring in 2003, know that we are always trying to pursue the truth as we find it. We will to the best of our abilities cull out all of the fallacious and misleading info that is out there, to detour us from those truths. We must never lose sight of a very important fact, our government and those in authority do not always adhere to Veritas. To the very best of my ability we will!!!!! Amo Veritas, &  Big Kahuna

 

I agree with Rep. Nethercutt, that to have a senator suggest that Osama bin Laden is a good guy and the U.S. hasn't done anything to help people is shocking, bizarre and uninformed; I have to wonder what country you've been living in since September 11th.
Uniformed utterances like those that follow, give great weight to that old saying, ("One should always have brain in gear before opening mouth") that seem most applicable to the remarks attributed to you.  Osama bin Laden didn't build roads, schools and day cares. He ran terrorist camps in Afghanistan that trained the killers who carried out the 9/11 attacks on America. It's the American people who lead the world in helping people of impoverished countries, not murderers like bin Laden.

You sent the message to those students that the United States somehow deserved or brought on the September 11 terrorist attacks. It is absolutely outrageous and despicable to imply that the American government should learn a lesson from the madman who murdered thousands of American citizens.  The only one who should learn a lesson here is YOU. If you have any honor or respect for those Americans in the military, who have given their lives for this country and those who lost their lives on 9/11, you should resign from the U.S. Senate IMMEDIATELY. However believing you to be a dedicated solipsist that surely won't take place.

 

This from Orwell’s 1984-"Whoever controls men's vision of the future controls the present; to legitimize this vision, he must also control the past.”
You may bet your collective bippys this is exactly what is done today. Under the heading of dumbing down revisionism!!! Think about it!

 

Have you ever wondered why the liberal media is so against the flag?  This fear that minorities and the proponents of political correctness, along with their sycophantic followers have, is rooted in a deep seated hatred of southerners, the south, and all others of us who hate tyranny and political correctness, wherever it may rear it's ugly head. To these people the flag, as long as it's around, remains a symbol of resistance and perhaps down the road defeat of all that PC garbage, we as a country are being subjected to. So it would seem that those who proudly fly that flag are indulging in remembering a past - not of a divided nation and people that we seem to be today, but a future free of all the PC
nonsense that we must tolerate today. Our todays are so filled with the fear of doing or saying the wrong thing that many of us think of ourselves as walking around on eggshells! This has been brought on for the most part through intimidation and the panacea of all social ills sensitivity and tolerance. Those ever wanting minorities, whose interest lay in the preservation of politically correct tyranny, quake in their boots every time they see the flag. At this juncture, may I, your neighbor to the west, give thanks and high praise to you good people of the great state of Mississippi. This for the outstanding victory brought about when two thirds of the voters, despite threats, bullying, and intimidation came forward and voted to keep their flag flying. I am proud to say this should be an inspiration to us all. Then Roy Barnes in good old Georgia turned out to be as tough to move as the rock of Gibraltar and just as solid! United we stand firm, divided we we will splinter and fall by the wayside. Let it be said once and for all this isn't about
restoring slavery or taking away anyone’s rights. It is about NO more of the rights of the majority, being given up to please a most voracious vocal minority with an appetite for everything we have without the effort it took to get it!  "VERITAS"

 

Didn't have too much love for Lott, but this does mean that the liberal left and the blacks have chalked up another score for their side. Talk about being empowered to preach their garbage and poison, this is it! May the good Lord bless Sen. Frist cause they will be coming after him, if for no other reason than he's from the south!!!

First, let me make the point, that so many people seem to forget. Maybe it's because our country has become soooo politically correct they are programmed to leaving God out of our lives? Don't want to break anyone’s heart but these are indisputable facts. Listen please! Christmas is NOT about gifts. Christmas is NOT about decorating your house to impress your neighbors and others. Christmas is NOT about parties though there is nothing wrong with parties. Christmas is the day each year that we set aside to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is HIS birthday. I am very sure that most of the people who read these words, in some way celebrate their own birthday. So have fun, have a good time but most of all be aware of what it's all about. We are celebrating the birthday of Jesus our Lord! Be sure and come it's one party we are all invited to.

 

 

The Kahuna couldn't resist this comment. Security procedures have become incredibly ludicrous and petty. I feel.  I have to taken off my shoes more times than when I visit my favorite Podiatrist!!  I admit it seems to make everyone feel safer the key (seems to)! This trip I never felt more like a Middle eastern terrorist, than coming from San Antonio to New Orleans. Sure plays hell with ones self-esteem! However if you like studying people the security people are a trip in themselves!!!

 

 

"Self-Humiliation Declined"
There's a strange thing going on at airports these days. It's called treating everybody like a criminal. And don't try to object, either, because then you'll be treated like even more of a criminal. That's what happened to Adrienne Bundy. She objected to being searched and apparently was belligerent about it. "Belligerent" is a code word for "upset," as in "upset about having one's constitutional rights violated."

As you may know, over the past year women in particular have lodged many complaints about abusive searches under the new airport security regime.  See, brassieres often have a little metal in them.  Anyway, Ms. Bundy objected and Ms. Bundy was arrested. Now, the worst they should have done to her was prohibit her from going on the plane.  All she did was refuse to be searched, after all. Nobody claims she slapped around a security guard.  But they did give her a way out, sort of. The judge would dismiss the charge of "aggravated disorderly conduct" if Bundy would appear at the airport and wear a sign for two hours -- a sign saying, "I am appearing here because I refused to comply with airport security."

At first it seemed she would agree to that ritual humiliation, to escape a possibly worse
punishment. But Bundy has changed her mind, and refused to do that too.  Looks like the case will go to trial.  All I can say is, good for her that she refused to submit herself to
such sick and obnoxious treatment. And good for the rest of us too.  This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

The Kahuna doesn't indulge in making many wishes. Having said that  I wish I had written this piece. Nothing I have seen or read covers this matter in a more succinct or comprehensive manner and much Veritas. Big Kahuna

From the Annals of "It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Political Correctness": Christian students in a Reno, Nevada, high school were prohibited from giving candy canes bearing the message "Jesus Loves You" -- as school administrators objected to the "specific content message" as likely to cause "offense" to some other students.

 

 

Just a word of background on the Daily Mirror newspaper, which is published in England. It is a notorious left-wing daily and is usually very anti-American. In other words, the Daily Mirror is much like most of the U. S. media.  It's kinda hard to believe that they published this editorial. Wouldn't it be nice, just once, to have the NY Times, CNN, or Peter Jennings express an editorial like Tony Parsons of the Daily Mirror does in what follows:
The author is Tony Parsons. It follows:

September 11, 2002 ONE year ago, the world witnessed a unique kind of broadcasting - the mass murder of thousands, live on television. As a lesson in the pitiless cruelty of the human race, September 11 was up there with Pol Pot's mountain of skulls in Cambodia, or the skeletal bodies stacked like garbage in the Nazi concentration camps. An unspeakable act so cruel, so calculated and so utterly merciless that surely the world could agree on one thing - nobody deserves this fate.  Surely there could be consensus: the victims were truly innocent, the perpetrators truly evil. But to the world's eternal shame, 9/11 is increasingly seen as America's comeuppance. Incredibly, anti-Americanism has increased over the last year.

There has always been a simmering resentment to the USA in this country - too loud, too rich, too full of themselves and so much happier than Europeans - but it has become an epidemic. And it seems incredible to me. More than that, it turns my stomach. America is this country's greatest friend and our staunchest ally. We are bonded to the US by culture, language and blood. A little over half a century ago, around half a million Americans died for our freedoms, as well as their own. Have we forgotten so soon? And exactly a year ago, thousands of ordinary men, women and children – not just Americans, but from dozens of countries - were butchered by a small group of religious fanatics. Are we so quick to betray them?

What touched the heart about those who died in the twin towers and on the planes was that we recognized them. Young fathers and mothers, somebody's son and somebody's daughter, husbands and wives. And children. Some unborn. And these people brought it on themselves? And their nation is to blame for their meticulously planned slaughter?
These days you don't have to be some dust-encrusted nut job in Kabul or Karachi or Finsbury Park to see America as the Great Satan. The anti-American alliance is made up of self-loathing liberals who blame the Americans for every ill in the Third World, and conservatives suffering from power-envy, bitter that the world's only superpower can do what it likes without having to ask permission.  The truth is that America has behaved with enormous restraint since September 11. Remember, remember.

Remember the gut-wrenching tapes of weeping men phoning their wives to say, "I love you," before they were burned alive. Remember those people leaping to their deaths from the top of burning skyscrapers. Remember the hundreds of firemen buried alive. Remember the smiling face of that beautiful little girl who was on one of the planes with her mum.  Remember, remember - and realize that America has never retaliated for 9/11 in anything like the way it could have. 

So a few al-Qaeda tourists got locked without a trial in Camp X-ray? Pass the Kleenex.
So some Afghan wedding receptions were shot up after they merrily fired their semiautomatics in a sky full of American planes? A shame, but maybe next time they should stick to confetti. AMERICA could have turned a large chunk of the world into a parking lot.  That it didn't is a sign of strength. American voices are already being raised against attacking Iraq - that's what a democracy is for. How many in the Islamic world will have a minute's silence for the slaughtered innocents of 9/11? How many Islamic leaders will have the guts to say that the mass murder of 9/11 was an abomination?

When the news of 9/11 broke on the West Bank, those freedom-loving Palestinians were dancing in the street. America watched all of that - and didn't push the button. We should thank the stars that America is the most powerful nation in the world. I still find it incredible that 9/11 did not provoke all-out war. Not a "war on terrorism." A real war.
The fundamentalist dudes are talking about "opening the gates of hell," if America attacks Iraq. Well, America could have opened the gates of hell like you wouldn't believe. The US is the most militarily powerful nation that ever strode the face of the earth. The campaign in Afghanistan may have been less than perfect and the planned war on Iraq
may be misconceived.  But don't blame America for not bringing peace and light to these
wretched countries. How many democracies are there in the Middle East, or in the Muslim world? You can count them on the fingers of one hand - assuming you haven't had any chopped off for minor shoplifting. 

I love America, yet America is hated. I guess that makes me Bush's poodle. But I would rather be a dog in New York City than a Prince in Riyadh. Above all, America is hated because it is what every country wants to be - rich, free, strong, open, optimistic. Not ground down by the past, or religion, or some caste system.  America is the best friend this country ever had and we should start remembering that.

Or do you really think the USA is the root of all evil? Tell it to the loved ones of the men and women who leaped to their death from the burning towers. Tell it to the nursing mothers whose husbands died on one of the hijacked planes, or were ripped apart in a collapsing skyscraper. And tell it to the hundreds of young widows whose husbands
worked for the New York Fire Department. To our shame, George Bush gets a worse press than Saddam Hussein.  Once we were told that Saddam gassed the Kurds, tortured his own people and set up rape-camps in Kuwait. Now we are told he likes Quality Street. Save me the orange centre, oh mighty one!

Remember, remember, September 11. One of the greatest atrocities in human history was committed against America.  No, do more than remember. Never forget.

What a joy to bring this piece to everyone’s attention. It doesn't happen often.

I am now on the brink of being ashamed of being white.  Why would the Kahuna say such a terrible thing? Well after seeing part of the program on BET the other night - a channel that has never appealed to me – and listening to Trent Lott criticized the society he was born into, (I think there is only about 8 or ten years difference in our ages) which means I was born into that era also, I for damn sure don't think we were all that
wrong and wicked.  It was the time and that's the way it was. Then we were treated to him groveling while pandering to the blacks in the audience.  This made me ashamed to have the same pigment of the skin, and that blacks might think we whites are all as gutless as he, made me sick to my stomach. That show left me with no doubt in my mind that if he stays as leader he will owe his political existence to the blacks. We and our
Republican party will have a leader (if he stays) that will spend the rest of his time caressing the (I'm being polite) posteriors of first the black caucus, and the likes of J. Jackson, Al Sharpton, and all the grand members of the NAACP, who will expect him to produce for them. Since he went on record that he is in favor of affirmative action, and anything else that will give his new masters the edge, we whites especially southerners, are going to be in for a rough ride. There is only one thing that is important to folks like me and that is that all have an equal opportunity based on merit NOT THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN!! I for one am not inclined to go along with Trent saving his derriere by giving away to minorities, (code for blacks), that he feels all of a sudden, have been so
wronged, by what took place over a hundred fifty years ago. I will agree that slavery in the south was wrong, however, was it OK in the north? Now to get away from that for a moment. Is there anyone that thinks he was strong leader in handling the left in the Senate? No he gave in more than he resisted, and never, never learned to play the type hardball that Biden and Daschel played! So to hell with all the other fallacious reasons being bandied about.  He was with the winning side and played like a loser!! So let him take the seat the good people of Mississippi elected him to. If he can't handle the comedown then, LET HIM GO! SHOW HIM THE DOOR!!!

My prayer for you today is that God's peace will be with you this day.  That the fear, the concern will wash away and be replaced by His perfect peace. Never forget that He loves you, cares about you, and is with you always. Stock markets will rise and fall. Money will be made and lost. However JESUS, is the one constant that we can ALWAYS count on. HE WILL NEVER FAIL, AND HIS WORD IS THE ONE THING IN THIS WORLD THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE!!! Veritas Veritas! BK

Here is a thought that has just occurred to me. Wonder how many share it?
We Americans will go around the world to fight for democratic principles, but find it too much trouble to go to the polls and vote the bums out.?????

 

 

I have been saying for years (and laughed at often) that the only way to get at (or to if you prefer) all the money that we the people have stashed in this country, ie; saftey deposit boxes and tin cans, and in the mattress, (God forbid!) will be to either repudiate the present bills, or change the green to something else which will at some point be the only acceptable currency. I may not be here to see the next step, which in my humble opinion will be to call in all the present paper by a fixed date. Is there anyone reading this who remembers the $500 & $1000 bills or when we could have gold? Then will come the directive or government edict, that the green currency you have must then be exchanged for the new colored money. It's at that point that BIG BROTHER will want to know
where we got all the money and it will have to be taxed!! Laugh now if you will just remember that you heard it from the Kahuna a believer in VERITAS!! Below is the associated press report that made me remember and THINK!!                            

 

From the AP: Dateline Washington! COLOR IS COMING, and government money makers are hoping for a warmer reception for the changes. The new $20, with its public unveiling set for the spring, is supposed to be in circulation as early as next fall.
Jackson is first in line for a makeover. After the new $20 makes its debut, the new $50 (Ulysses S. Grant) and the $100s (Benjamin Franklin) will follow in within 18 months.
In the works is a five-year effort, costing up to $53 million, to educate people about the changes. An important goal is to help distinguish between genuine greenbacks and bogus bills.

"If we learned anything from the issuance of the $20 in 1998, it is that things that we get used to here, because we see it and work on it, when it is first in the hands of the public it is seen as dramatic," said Thomas Ferguson, director of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. "Suddenly, we are asking them to accept something else."  Portrait engraver Thomas Hipschen, who is working on the current redesign, remembers spending countless hours during the last makeover meticulously cutting into steel by hand the portraits of Jackson, Franklin and Grant for the new bills.  Relieved at first when the work was done, he then worried about the public reaction to the changes.

"You worry about what the press is going to do," he said.  "I have an old clipping file about all the horrible things they said about the portraits that I engraved. Some fun things, too."  Everyone is a critic. 

 

"Well, you are not going to please everybody. This is a situation where everybody is going to weigh in on it," Hipschen said.  "You really have to have a thick skin, I think. But I don't really take it to heart that much. When my artist friends come back and say, 'What were you thinking?' - that kind of hurts to the quick. But the general population, they are going to get on the bandwagon, one way or the other, and I'm just going to have to live with it."

TECHNICAL CHALLENGES
To give the new bills color, the bureau has had to buy five printing presses, to operate in Washington and at a bureau facility in Fort Worth, Texas. To run the new presses, Ferguson said, some existing workers are getting trained, and a few new people have been hired. The Fort Worth plant is being expanded, providing room for the new presses and space for public tours, he said.  Advertisement.
 
Adding color to the notes is a challenge.  "It is new, and anything that is new provides another opportunity to do well - or not," Ferguson said. "There can be color variations that we wouldn't get with a single color ink, like when we use black or green. So there are additional inspection requirements."

Green and black ink is now used on neutral-colored paper.  With the makeover, color tints will be added in the neutral areas of the note. Ferguson would not say which colors will be used, but said they will vary by denomination.  Money makers want the new notes to have an American look and feel, and not be confused with, for instance, the colorful euro, the paper currency of the European Union. 

 

"When we look at something as fundamentally revolutionary as adding color, going from a currency system that has been monochromatic certainly for all of our lives, our parents' lives, ... we want to do it in a responsible way that recognizes that tradition," Ferguson said. "So that when people around the world see that first new U.S. $20, they will know it as a U.S. $20."

'CONTINUUM OF DESIGN'
Recent changes in paper money design have been driven by the desire to thwart high-tech counterfeiters. Over the years, counterfeiters have graduated from offset printing to increasingly sophisticated color copiers, computer scanners, color ink jet printers and publishing-grade software, all readily available.  Some anti-counterfeiting features included in the last redesign will be retained, the bureau said. They include watermarks that are visible when held up to a light; embedded security threads that glow a color when exposed to an ultraviolet light; and minute images, visible with a magnifying glass, known as microprinting.  The new notes may sport more distinct color-shifting ink.  In the last redesign, color-shifting ink that looks green when viewed straight on but black at an angle was used in a spot on some notes. 

Even after the greenbacks' last makeover, which started with a revamped Franklin on the $100 in 1996 and ended with new $5s and $10s in 2000, some collectors still complained that U.S. currency is boring.  Ferguson has a different take.  "Our notes now, in the highest sense of the word, are utilitarian," he said. "U.S. currency is a continuum of design, versus a revolution of design."

Under the redesign, the size of the notes will not change and the same faces will appear on the same bills. But the portraits and buildings may be presented differently.  Hipschen said if he were king for a day, he would put Duke Ellington on one of the bills, would replace all the portraits with different American figures and would make notes longer as they increase in denomination.

"We could have gone where no man had gone before," he
joked. (bk says "Some Joke" :-o( !

 

 

Why Do I Agree With This?

 

"It is worth noting that the people today who so vehemently wish to sweep religion from all public spaces and institutions are also the same people who consistently oppose freedom. They want only one God – the state, which of course they intend to run." --Charley Reese

 

 

Would love to hear what you cyber buds think of this. Then we may share thoughts.LMK  bk

How can I?
One day a while back, a man, his heart heavy with grief, was walking in the woods. As he thought about his life this day, he knew many things were not right.  He thought about those who had lied about him back when he had a job.  His thoughts turned to those who had stolen his things and cheated him.  He remembered family that had passed on. His mind turned to the illness he had that no one could cure. His very soul was filled with anger, resentment and frustration. Standing there this day, searching for answers he could not find, knowing all else had failed him, he knelt at the base of an old oak tree to seek the one he knew would always be there, and with tears in his eyes, he prayed:
"Lord- You have done wonderful things for me in this life. You have told me to do many things for you, and I happily obeyed. Today, you have told me to forgive. I am sad, Lord, because I cannot. I don't know how. It is not fair Lord. I didn't deserve these wrongs that were done against me and I shouldn't have to forgive. As perfect as your way is Lord, this one thing I cannot do, for I don't know how to forgive. My anger is so deep Lord, I fear I may not hear you, but I pray that you teach me to do this one thing I cannot do - Teach me To Forgive."

As he knelt there in the quiet shade of that old oak tree, he felt something fall onto his shoulder. He opened his eyes. Out of the corner of one eye, he saw something red on his shirt. He could not turn to see what it was because, where the oak tree had been was a large square piece of wood in the ground. He raised his head and saw two feet held to the wood with a large spike through them. He raised his head more, and tears came to his
eyes as he saw Jesus hanging on a cross. He saw spikes in His hands, a gash in His side, a torn and battered body, deep thorns sunk into His head.  Finally he saw the suffering and pain on His precious face. As their eyes met, the man's tears turned to sobbing, and Jesus began to speak.

 
”Have you ever told a lie, He asked?  The man answered – “Yes Lord.”

 

“Have you ever been given too much change and kept it?”

 
The man answered, “Yes Lord.” And the man sobbed more and more.

 

“Have you ever taken something from work that wasn't yours?” Jesus asked.

 

And the man answered, “Yes Lord.”

 

“Have you ever sworn, using my Father's name in vain?”


The man, crying now, answered “Yes Lord.”

 

As Jesus asked many more times, "Have you ever?” The man's crying became uncontrollable, for he could only answer “Yes Lord.”

 
Then Jesus turned His head from one side to the other, and the man felt something fall on his other shoulder. He looked and saw that it was the blood of Jesus. When he looked back up, his eyes met those of Jesus, and there was a look of love the man had never seen or known before. Jesus said, I didn't deserve this either, but I forgive you. It may be hard to see how you're going to get through something, but when you look back in life, you realize how true this statement is. Read the first line slowly and let it sink in. This is simple, and important.

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it. Lord I love You and I need You. Come into my heart, Today. For without You I can do nothing. VERITAS VERITAS! And to you all, have a good day!!! ßk

 

 

The landmark Civil Rights legislation of 1964, as historians have noted, could not have passed without lopsided support by Republicans.  Twenty-one Senate Democrats voted (NO) against the bill, but only six Republicans voted nay(NO). Having said that, it's too bad that many of today’s very vocal and usually uninformed blacks aren't more aware of
this fact. It might be most apropos to really give close scrutiny to their leaders. I hold no brief for Lott, and feel that for the good of the party and the majority he should step down. However so many of his critics, seem to have as much, or more things to apologize for than he.

Far too many of Lott's severest critics fail the "clean hands" test!  Most who take the time to use a dictionary will find this DEF: of a racist 1. A belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent
superiority of a particular race.  Does Sen. Lott's statement fit this definition? NO! Many of us here in the South voted for Sen. Thurmond in 1948 and feel if the rest of the country had followed suit we wouldn't have had many of our current problems  all these years.
Among those who claim that his was a racist statement and that he Lott, should resign, and again I agree, but not for the same reasons. Check the pedigree of some of his detractors.

 

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People as racist and segregated group, you will find anywhere!

Jesse Jackson - The reverend? who fathers illegitimate children and who is being sued by
a black group on charges that he uses his influence to intimidate companies to donate money to further the cause of blacks, but instead puts it to personal use, after all his mistress should live well!


Al Sharpton – Another reverend whose claim to fame was his defense of a young black girl's false story about being kidnapped and raped by a gang of white men and left in a garbage bag! All proven to be lies!

 

The Black Caucus - The name says it all. They are the NAACP of the House of Representatives, home of the likes of Maxine Watters rabble rouser of the first water, she and many of her ilk like S. Jackson Lee of Texas, who is always ready to help in destroying the character of any white conservative.

 

Now we come to  Al Gore - The former vice president and world class prevaricator, who didn't even win his home state of Tennessee during the 2000 election. He is just indulging in wishful thinking with 2004 in mind. Keep wishing Al.

Trent Lott has done a lot for the state of Mississippi and for the country. Let's not let an off-the-cuff statement at a roast, be the silver bullet that does him in. It's that he has out lived his usefulness, by becoming the ad hoc target of the minority. I am baffled by the demands of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP who wish to see Trent Lott kow tow to them, by resigning as Senate majority leader. There never seemed to be the same outrage at Sen. KKK Bird of Virginia.                    

The definition of a segregationist is "one who wants to be separate from others." When will the Republicans realize there will be no end to those that the liberals and most assuredly the blacks find time to try and destroy. Will the Republicans come up with a strong replacement, one who will be able to play hardball as well as they? If Trent will do the right thing and move over they may be able too!  Big Kahuna,

 

 

When you think you have heard everything. Along comes this bit of brilliance!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103, REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the
Marine Barracks in Lebanon, REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military Barracks in Saudi Arabia, REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American
Embassies in Africa, REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE.
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11/01.
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM
attacks.

NOW the United States Postal Service REMEMBERS and HONORS the EID MUSLIM
holiday season with a commemorative first class holiday postage stamp. I strongly urge you to REMEMBER to adamantly and vocally BOYCOTT this stamp when purchasing your holiday stamps at the post office. To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors. I also strongly urge you to pass this along to every Patriotic AMERICAN you know, whether by email or otherwise. This is something we should all get behind. Thanks Big Kahuna

 

 

 

I have just become better informed about a man, (Thanks Pat) that is the center of the most hateful character destroying frenzy, I have seen in a long time. Lott for his attempt at praise, and Strom for being a man who made mistakes, but while doing so has served his country well and true!  I must say to the black caucus, you and your most vocal
sycophantic and nescient, mouths like M. Watters, S. J. Lee, J. Jackson Jr., J. Jackson Sr. Al Sharpton and more than I can mention here, as I pass on this large dose of “VERITAS". I still feel that Lott should go, not to kow tow, to blacks but because of the soft and inept way he has handled (has no idea of how to play their kind of results oriented hardball) the liberal Democrats in the Senate. Having said this I must strongly concur with Lott in his effort (perhaps his was lousy syntax) when trying to praise an old man, who has served his country proudly, more than the many bottom feeders that are so vocal, with very little to crow about. They who have no real records of their own except as world class rabble rousers. They follow the rule of" when you have no record to be proud of, then destroy if you can the man or woman that does have such a record". I also find (not surprising) that the mainstream press has no time to mention the record of this old gentleman as he approaches the sunset of his life. May I add I am not the biggest fan of Pat Buchanan but in this piece he did a noble job of bringing out facts that should not go unsaid!  Please read Pat’s piece that I have added below, you may agree with me in my feeling. I truly hope so. BK

What stinks about Washington
Posted: December 13, 2002
1:00 a.m. Eastern
By Patrick J. Buchanan
© 2002 Creators Syndicate, Inc.  

He was an ancient among the boys of the Greatest Generation. Thirty-nine years old, a sitting judge at the time of Pearl Harbor, he resigned from the bench and volunteered for the 82nd Airborne, the bravest of the brave.

On D-Day, he crash-landed in a glider in France, hours before the Higgins boats hit the beach, and helped liberate Ste. Mere-Eglise. Days later, he was photographed driving a military vehicle that had lately been the property of the Third Reich. Decorated for wounds and valor, he was with the Army unit that liberated Buchenwald.

He was Lt. Col. J. Strom Thurmond. As governor of South Carolina in 1948, he was the nominee of the States Rights Party, the Dixiecrats who bolted Truman's Democratic party over civil rights. "Strom," as America would come to know him, carried only four states.

Elected to the Senate as a Democrat, he became the nation's most famous segregationist. For 23 hours, he filibustered the 1957 Civil Rights Act and stood with Barry Goldwater to vote "no" on the Civil Rights Act of 1964, bolted the party again and was crucial in leading the South into the Nixon camp at the Miami convention.  But as segregation died in Dixie, Strom adjusted. He courted black voters, hired black staffers, urged the nomination of black judges.  Last week, the grand old man was feted at a 100th birthday party at which the new majority leader, Trent Lott of Mississippi, declared: "I want to say this about my state. When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over these years, either."

The words were said in gracious tribute. But the malicious saw opportunity. Tom Edsall of the Washington Post dug up 54-year-old Thurmond quotes ("All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches"), then phoned around to elicit the "outrage" he had sought to incite. As ever, the left and a few neoconservatives were delighted to contribute.

"Oh, God," wailed William Kristol, whose old man, Irving, has not yet apologized for having been a Trotskyite two decades after Lenin and Trotsky began the extermination of Russian Christians.  David Frum, cashiered White House speechwriter, Jonah Goldberg of National Review and Andrew Sullivan piled on, parading their moral credentials by kicking Lott when he was down.

Al Gore, whose father voted with Strom to kill the Civil Rights Act of 1964, called Lott's tribute a "racist statement" and said he must resign. "It is not a small thing for one of the half-dozen most prominent political leaders in America to say that our problems are
caused by integration and that we should have a segregationist candidate. ... That is divisive, and it is divisive along racial lines."


No, Al, it is you, with this malicious twisting of what Lott said and meant, who are mining the rich vein of racist politics. For keeping the races polarized and black folks believing Republicans want re-segregation, or worse, is how you "energize the base." In 2000, Gore suggested at a black church that what Bush meant by strict construction of the Constitution was to go back to when "some people were considered three-fifths of a human being."

Smelling blood, Jesse Jackson called for Lott's ouster. Lott, he said, "is an unrepentant Confederate who cannot speak for all Americans." But Trent Lott can surely speak for Mississippi. Who ever elected Rev. Jesse to speak for anybody? 

 

"Lott's statement is the kind of callous, calculated, hateful bigotry that has no place in the halls of Congress. His remarks are dangerously divisive," said Kweisi Mfume of the NAACP, doing his best to deepen that division. Put Mfume's comment alongside Lott's and decide for yourself which manifests "hateful bigotry."

When Democratic leader Tom Daschle suggested that Lott meant no harm, Black Caucus Rep. Maxine Waters landed on him with both feet. A scorched Daschle hurriedly saw the light. Lott's words, he said, "were offensive to those who believe in freedom and equality."

Trying to stem the tide of venom coming his way, Lott offered an apology: "A poor choice of words conveyed to some the impression that I embraced the discarded politics of the past. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I apologize to anyone who was offended by my statement."


But the bleating of sheep only excites the gathering wolves, and the clamor grows for a full grovel, or resignation. What we are witnessing is the lynching of a good man who made a bad choice of words in a birthday tribute to an old man whose sins are no more scarlet than those of the rest of us. It stinks to heaven, but it is what passes for morality in Washington.

 

 

There is in every true woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity; but which kindles up, and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.  -- Washington Irving
ßk "wish I had said this"

 

 

All one has to do is look at Trent Lott's voting record to know he is no
racist. However as Majority Leader the Senate under him, has been a pond
where the Democrat fish swim as they will.It's  because of his inability
to play hardball,along with a gullibility that seems to have no bounds.
The Democrats have controlled the Senate for the most part. Even as the
minority by working together, they have gotten away with whatever they
really desire.!
He also (at least to me) doesn't have the "visceral fire" to really take
on Daschle,Kennedy and their ilk! However lest we forget the Republican
side is plagued with a number of "Republicrats"  who march to the beat
of their own drummer,refusing to stick together. Perhaps with a stronger
leader this will change. Hopefully to the dismay of the minority party.

 

 

This is a sample of how we should all become brothers? I DON'T THINK SO!!! bk

The next parade held in Washington, Trent Lott should give Jeffers and Chaffee special recognition. He should have them handle shovels behind the ELEPHANTS!  This could be the Republican reward for their actions.

 

 

When you have done a job that has satisfied your soul, and in your heart is pleasing to God. You and those, you are trying to reach, need to look no further. That job is good. ßk

 

 

Why is it that the Kahuna only has visions of the unpaid taxes involved in this sort of thing? They send this kind of money home and are on the dole here. There is no doubt that we the people are generous. Or are we FOOLS?

If that collection of nations, most of whom (from where I sit) cannot support themselves without the United States, then pray tell me why do we need the approval of such nations? In recent years I have often wondered why do we need a United Nations? In this game of global football we always seem to have the ball and are expected to run with it. We always seem to bear the most of the burden, both in money and lives! This has the effect on me to wonder, is the UN a relative force?

If we the United States were to act alone in stopping Iraq, it seems the UN must go along with us, if only to prove that it has worth. Having said this I do wish the UN were out of New York, and the USA out of the UN. - if for no other reason than to remove that cabal of US haters out of our country. Big Kahuna    

 

 

"I'm opposed to those tax cuts," the retired college professor declared, "because they benefit the rich. The rich get much more money back than ordinary taxpayers like you and me and that's not fair."

"But the rich pay more in the first place," I argued, "so it stands to reason that they'd get more money back."

I could tell that my friend was unimpressed by this meager argument.  Even college professors are a prisoner of the myth that the "rich" somehow get a free ride in America. Nothing could be further from the truth.  Let's put tax cuts in terms even my "learned" friend can understand.

Suppose that every day10 men go to a restaurant for dinner. The bill for all ten comes to $100. If it was paid the way we pay our taxes, the first four men would pay nothing; the fifth would pay $1; the sixth would pay $3; the seventh $7;the eighth $12; the ninth $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

The 10 men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until the owner threw them a curve. Since you are all such good customers, he said, I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20.  Now dinner for the 10 only costs $80. The first four are unaffected.  They still eat for free. Can you figure out how to divvy up the $20 savings among the remaining six so that everyone gets his fair share?

The men realize that $20 divided by 6 is $3.33, but if they subtract that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would end up being paid to eat their meal.
The restaurant owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so now the fifth man paid nothing, the sixth pitched in $2, the seventh paid $5, the eighth paid $9, the ninth paid $12, leaving the tenth man with a bill of $52 instead of $59.

Outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. "I only got a dollar out the $20," complained the sixth man, pointing to the tenth, "and he got $7!"

 

"Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man.  "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got seven times more than me!"

 

"That's true," shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $7 back when I got only $2? The wealthy get all the breaks!"

 

"Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor."

 

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night he didn't show up for dinner, so the nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They were $52 short!

And that, boys, girls and college instructors, is how America's tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up at the table any more. There are lots of good restaurants in Switzerland and the Caribbean!  :-o)bk

 

 

I read of a man who stood to speak
At the funeral of a friend
He referred to the dates on her tombstone
From the beginning...to the end.
 He noted that first came her date of birth

And spoke the following date with tears,
But he said what mattered most of all
Was the dash between those years.
(1934-1998)
 For that dash represents all the time
That she spent alive on earth...
And now only those who loved her
Know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own;
The cars...the house...the cash,
What matters is how we live and love
And how we spend our dash.
So think about this long and hard...
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left,

That can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
To consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand
The way other people feel.
 And be less quick to anger,
And show appreciation more
And love the people in our lives
Like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect,
And more often wear a smile..
Remembering that this special dash  

May last only a little while.
So, when your eulogy's being read
With your life's actions to rehash...
Would you be proud of the things they say;

About how you spent your dash?

 

 

Dear Civilians,
We know that the current state of affairs in our great nation have many civilians up in arms and excited to join the military.  For those of you who can't join, you can still lend a hand.  Here are a few of the areas we would like your assistance with:

1) The next time you see an adult talking during the playing of the National Anthem.....kick their ass.
2) When you witness firsthand someone burning the American Flag in protest...kick their ass.
3) Regardless of the rank they held while they served, pay the highest amount of respect to all veterans.  If you see anyone doing otherwise, quietly pull them aside and explain how these Veterans fought for the very freedom they bask in every second. Enlighten them on the many sacrifices these Veterans made to make this Nation great.  Then hold them down while the Veteran kicks their ass.
4) If you are not in the military, DO NOT pretend that you are.  Wearing battle dress uniforms (BDU's), telling others that you used to be "Special Forces," and collecting GI Joe memorabilia might have been okay if you were still seven, but now it will only get your ass kicked. (Veterans are exempt from this rule).
5) If you witness someone calling an enlisted Marine "Sir," stand back.....the Marine will kick their ass.
6) Next time you come across an Air Force member, do not ask them "Do you fly a jet?" Not everyone in the Air Force is a pilot.  Such ignorance deserves an ass kicking. (children are exempt).
7) Next time Old Glory prances by during a parade, get on your damn feet and pay homage to her by placing your hand over your heart and quietly thank the military member or veteran lucky enough to be carrying her...of course, failure to do either of those will earn you a severe ass kicking.
9) What Jane Fonda did during the Vietnam War makes her the enemy.  The proper word to describe her is "traitor."  Hate her or else (asses will be kicked).
10) Don't try to discuss politics with a military member or a veteran.  We are all Americans and we all bleed the same regardless of our party affiliation. Our Chain of Command includes our Commander in Chief...the President. (for those who didn't know him by the other name).  We have no inside track on what happens inside those big
important buildings where all those "representatives" meet.  All we knew is that if and when that flag went up that we were ready to go wherever and do whatever it took to totally kick anybody's ass!
12) Bin Laden and the Taliban are not communists, so stop saying "Let's go kill those Commie's!!!"  And stop asking us where he is!!!!  Crystal balls are not standard issue in the military.  That reminds me ... if you see anyone calling those damn psychic phone numbers; let me know, so I can go kick their ass.
13) Last but not least, whether or not you become a member of the military, support our troops and their families.  Every Thanksgiving and Christmas that you enjoy with family and friends please remember that there are, literally, thousands of troops overseas wishing they could be with their families.  Thank God for our military and the sacrifices they make every day.  Without them, our country would get its ass kicked.

It has been a year since the fall of the Taliban, and in that year, nothing has been done to really protect this country from within. My perception says to me, there has been no attempt to check closely into the activities of American Muslims, who for my money, don't seem choked up over the activities of their brothers overseas. We checked on those whose sympathies were not with us during WW 2. WHY not now? Are we going to allow the PC garbage of our country today, to take us down the path to destruction? Why do I have such a visceral feeling that we better give more thought to changing the hearts and minds of those American Muslims, many of whom I am certain are indifferent to whether
this country survives or not. It would be sheer hell to be in a full scale war in Iraq and have what could be a large cadre of enemies to fight right here in our country. We must do more to insure that the home front is safe from subversion! Sounds a lot like WW2 talk doesn't it?

Why can't we demand more of a commitment from those Muslims here – after all they came here to become one of us, didn't they? I for one feel very strongly that there is no mind changing taking place within the minds of those who are deeply devoted to that faith, which from a historical standpoint is anything but a peace loving faith. We must think of America first or there will be no way to win this war. Never lose sight of the fact that in the lands where our Americans, of Muslim descent come from, it's a fact of life, that their news outlets seem to devote their ink to  "DEATH to Christians and Jews". We must begin (NOW) to ask for more of a commitment of all Muslims here, if we can't get that, then we must bid them a fond adieu. Post Haste! .................

There are times when we look in the mirror, it's a distasteful sight indeed. No matter who the creator of is, there is too much truth to be ignored. Also don't blame the mirror, it only reflects what is there!  Hell just last night on the news, they speak of a group that is offended by the word Christmas for this time of he year. Does anyone remember the
Roman Empire? Big Kahuna

 

 

Sometime back I was raising hell about the lady in Mich. who was put in jail for saying to her mother why can't those spics learn to speak English. Well it's been some time since we (many 0f us took up this cause. Today I have just received a letter telling me that she had been vindicated. Surprise! We English speaking citizens may now say, “Why don't
those Hispanics learn to speak English?” without it being construed as an ethnic slur. Mrs. Barton has won her case even though it has cost her and her husband $12 thousand to fight the case. Didn't cost the Sp's nothing!!  AINT America grand.

Miscegenation, which is promoted or so it seems every time I look at TV or pick up something to read. That is the formula that is most used to water down we Euro Centric people. Try and remember those things that are fast disappearing in our society. Customs, Pride, Language, and last but not least Christian beliefs. Haven't you noticed the latest from the anti crowd? The word “Christmas” is found to be offensive to them! The assault
is on! Resist or you will wake up and find yourself feeling like "Rip Van Winkle" 

 

 

Be strong enough to face the world each day.
Be weak enough to know you cannot do everything.
Be generous to those who need your help.
Be frugal with what you need yourself.
Be wise enough to know that you do not know everything.
Be foolish enough to believe in miracles.
Be willing to share your joys.
Be willing to share the sorrows of others.
Be a leader when you see a path others have missed.
Be a follower when you are shrouded in the midst of uncertainty.
Be the first to congratulate an opponent who succeeds.
Be the last to criticize a colleague who fails.
Be sure where your next step will fall,
so that you will not stumble.
Be sure of your final destination,
in case you are going the wrong way.
Be loving to those who love you.
Be loving to those who do not love you,
and they may change.
Above all,
BE YOURSELF!

 

 

 

With the December 7th runoff just ahead of us, and having just seen the debate between Mary and Susan, these thoughts occurs to me, with some merit I believe. The Black voters would do well to remove themselves from the Democratic   demagogic mantra that for years has led them down the primrose path. The democrats' basic problem being they are devoid of any new ideas! That presents no real problem however, as long as they enjoy
those large voting blocks of Blacks, unions and the liberal left. However when the Blacks finally realize they suffer (as a group) consequences of liberal policies in failing schools, violent crime and a vast number of social ills that are keeping them from making the sort of progress they hope for. This could be conducive to better relations between Whites and Blacks. Being taken for granted is a terrible thing?

THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES             By Paul Harvey -
Conveniently Forgotten Facts
Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named...Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.  Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him. When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbo took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25miles north of New Haven, Conn. Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers.

In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard, and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College. Isn't that something? As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head, and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! ONLY IN AMERICA!! EricaHuggins was the lady who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr.Rackley's torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board. How in the world do you think these killers got off so easy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr.LanLee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean. He isn't a member of a California School Board. He is now head of the US Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton. O.K., so who was the other Panther defender? Is this other
notable Panther defender now a school board member? Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No, neither! The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is now known as The "smartest woman in the world." She is none other than the Democratic senator from the State of New York----our former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton. And now, as Paul Harvey said; You know "the rest of the story".

 

PASS THIS ON! This deserves the widest possible press. Also remember it, if and when she runs for President, bk says" You may bet the farm she will.” This piece does give credence to that old saying,"in politics the scum always rises to the top!”

 

 

Atlanta radio host Neal Boortz reports (sixth item) on another campus dustup, this one at Chicago's St. Xavier University. It seems that Robert Kurpiel, an Air Force Academy cadet, sent an inoffensive e-mail seeking help in making college students around the country aware of the annual Academy Assembly, which discusses "very important issues dealing with politics." One Peter Kirstein, a professor of history at SXU, received a copy of the message and went ballistic, sending the cadet the following reply:

You are a disgrace to this country and I am furious you would even think I would support you and your aggressive baby killing tactics of collateral damage. Help you recruit. Who, top guns to reign death and destruction upon nonwhite peoples throughout the world? Are you serious sir? Resign your commission and serve your country with honour.  No war, no air force cowards who bomb countries with AAA, without possibility of retaliation. You are worse than the snipers. You are imperialists who are turning the whole damn world against us. September 11 can be blamed in part for what you and your cohorts have done to Palestinians, the VC, the Serbs, a retreating army at Basra.  You are unworthy of my support.

 

Kirstein, whose university Web site includes a virtual shrine to Karl Marx, ended up issuing a halfhearted apology: "As one who believes in non-violence and the avoidance of conflict, I could have been more circumspect and creative in my communication with [Kurpiel]," he writes.

 

 

My Dear Mr. President Bush,

 

With the deepest respect I submit the words of the Hon. Ron Paul for your consideration. Knowing full well that the best interest of our country is always of the utmost importance to you. We pray every day that the good Lord will protect and guide you.

 

Sincerely,

"Today's American soldiers (your sons and daughters) are the veterans of the future, and they should never be sent to war without clear objectives that serve definite American national security interests.  They should NEVER fight at the behest of the United Nations or any other international agency. They should never serve under a UN flag, nor answer to a UN commander. They deserve to know that they fight for the American people and the Constitution, and that the decision to send them into battle was made by THEIR OWN CONGRESS rather than by UN bureaucrats who don’t care about them. Only by using American troops judiciously and in service of the Constitution can we avoid the kind of endless military entanglements we witnessed in Korea and Vietnam. We honor our veterans by ensuring that their service to the nation is never in vain." --Ron Paul

 

 

IMHO we are fast getting to the point where the word God will join those other non PC words like (don't mean to shock the young who have never heard these words) queer, blind, deaf, crippled, nigger, spic, bum, crazy and retarded and last but not least it appears as if the swearing an oath on the Bible is surely going to be offensive to some jackass before long. Talk about taking a country’s values and heritage apart stone by stone. I hope the PC crowd leaves me a little something recognizable before I go to my reward.

Judge orders 10 Commandments monument removed http://www.jewishworldreview.com |  

(UPI) -- A federal judge in Montgomery, Alabama ruled Monday that a 2 1/2-ton granite Ten Commandments monument must be removed from the lobby of the city's judicial building. The monument was installed by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore. U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson ruled that the monument violates the Establishment of Religion Clause of the First Amendment and the principle of the separation of church and state.
"Based on the evidence presented during a weeklong trial and for the reasons that follow, this court holds that the evidence is overwhelming and the law is clear that the Chief Justice violated the Establishment Clause," Thompson ruled.
He gave the state 30 days to remove the monument and said Moore would foot the bill. Moore has said he would appeal the decision. 

 

 Thompson said his decision did not cover all instances of public display of the Ten Commandments and should not be construed that way. "But, in announcing this holding today, the court believes it is important to clarify at the outset that the court does not hold that it is improper in all instances to display the Ten Commandments in government buildings; nor does the court hold that the Ten Commandments are not important, if not one of the most important, sources of American law," Thompson wrote.  He also said the separation of state and religion has benefited religions over the years.


Thompson wrote: "... the First Amendment gave 'preferred treatment' to religion, and, in particular, to Christianity, by assuring that there would be no governmental interference with, including even 'endorsement' of, it. In other words, as indeed history has shown, Christianity flourishes best when it is left alone by government."

The lawsuit was filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the American Civil Liberties Union, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and several Montgomery attorneys who say they fear discrimination because they do not share Moore's religious beliefs.

Herb Titus of Coral Ridge Ministries, representing Moore, had argued that the lawsuit was part of an effort to "censor God." Moore, a Baptist, is the same judge who put a wooden plaque he carved with the Ten Commandments on the wall of his courtroom after he was elected as a circuit judge in rural Etowah County in 1994.

He became chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 2000, and on Aug. 1, 2001, he wheeled in the washing machine-sized monument during the middle of the night without consulting fellow justices. Moore kept the display in his Etowah County courtroom, even after a circuit judge ruled the display was unconstitutional. He appealed the decision to the Alabama Supreme Court, which dismissed the ruling on technical grounds.

GOD HELP AMERICA SURVIVE THIS LUNACY!!

 

 

I could be wrong but it's Pelosi who is the Faux Pas! W/Hillary a close runner up!      PELOSI'S FAUX PAS
Nancy Pelosi, the femme-façade of the Democrat Party, is predictably all over the television. Even Hillary Clinton has noticed. As the New York Daily News reported, the junior senator from New York was waiting for a press conference to start when she saw Pelosi on a TV monitor. "Nancy cut her hair, didn't she? It's shorter," Clinton said.
Pelosi's been appearing on every show imaginable, taking a cue from Monica Lewinsky's old lawyer. The new minority leader has been trying her darnedest to sound like a centrist rather than the far-left San Francisco liberal she really is. But when her stint on the "Today" show was wrapping up, Pelosi told NBC's Matt Lauer, "Thank you, Charlie."
The Left Coast Report says, no matter what she claims, if Pelosi's a centrist, then Matt Lauer is Prince Charles.  Submitted with pleasure by Big Kahuna

 

 

One time there was a young teenage girl that was about to finish her year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat and her father was a rather staunch Republican. One day she was challenging her father on  his beliefs and his opposition to programs like welfare. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school. She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party and often went sleepless because all of the studying. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of all her studying.  He then asked how her friend Mary, that was attending the same college, was doing. She replied that she was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied. Was very popular on campus and was at parties all the time. She often wouldn't show up for classes because she was hung over.

 
He then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend that only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.

She fired back and said "that wouldn't be fair, I worked really hard for mine and my friend has done nothing". After a moment of silence, she replied, "I guess I will never vote Democrat again".

 

 

IMHO, everyone on this planet needs to read this. This was sent by a 78 yr. old former nun. The thoughts are pure and we all understand the point....
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

There are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some native Americans, need to understand. First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try not to offend you in any way. This idea of America being a multicultural
community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity.  As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language, and our own lifestyle. This culture, called the "American Way" has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.
Our forefathers fought, bled, and died at places such as Bunker Hill, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam...

We speak English, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society - learn our language!"
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some off-the-wall, Christian, Right Wing, political slogan - it is our national motto. It is engraved in stone in the House of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed on our currency. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation and this is clearly documented throughout our history. If it is appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the halls of our highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.  God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every patriotic song, and in our founding documents. We honor His birth, death, and resurrection as holidays, and we turn to Him in prayer in times of crisis. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture and we are proud to have Him.

We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably defended our freedoms. We celebrate Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Flag Day. We have parades, picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag.  As an American, I have the right to wave my flag, sing my national anthem, quote my national motto, and cite my pledge whenever and wherever I choose. If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we are proud of it. We are happy with our culture and have no desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things where you came from. Like it or not, this is our country, our land, and our lifestyle. Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express his opinion about our government, culture, or society, and we will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great American freedom:

THE RIGHT TO LEAVE!

Another thing: To those who do complain about the usage of words like 'God' and 'American' and speaking the language of our great nation, TRY GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY AND SPEAK AGAINST WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE.  YOU WILL MORE THAN LIKELY END UP JAILED OR EVEN KILLED.


In America, you take your right to complain for granted. The more patriotism that is removed from where our children are taught, the less our children will learn about what it is to be an American and our nation's spirit will slowly be killed. Keep patriotism alive!

If you agree, pass this onto other Americans!!
It is time to take a stand!!
God Bless America and our Military and Veterans!!!

 

 

 

 

Foreign Aid
For a few billion dollars you might expect to be able to bribe some small third world country into cleaning up its act, to defend the property rights of its citizens, to provide a stable currency, and to establish a non-interventionist economic and foreign policy. With little Switzerlands and industrial revolutions developing around the globe, the U.S. could provide the examples that would establish a classical liberal world order within one generation with less than 1% of the federal budget.


Alas, Americans are united in their opposition to foreign aid-and with good reason! Foreign aid, military aid, debt relief, economic development assistance, and even disaster assistance money-all with "strings attached" to ensure proper behavior-are associated with "fraud, waste, and abuse."

U.S. aid designed to bring about peace in the Middle East is an ideological seedbed of hatred, war, and terrorism. The big players in foreign aid, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, are more likely to bring about economic meltdown and social calamity than economic stability.

Ludwig von Mises pointed out (Planning for Freedom) that foreign aid doesn't create friends in foreign lands, it creates ideological enemies who wish to do us harm:
The United States, they think, is aiding them because its people have a bad conscience. They themselves pocket this bribe but their sympathies go to the socialist system. The American subsidies make it possible for their governments to conceal partially the disastrous effects of the various socialist measures they have adopted. Mises is here referring to our "friends" in Europe, but the same could be applied to the Middle East, Africa, the Western Hemisphere, and Asia, with the only possible exception being countries like Vietnam and Australia who receive limited or no foreign aid from the United States or the international organizations that we control. The fraud and failure of foreign aid is now so obvious that it has ended up in the pages of the American Economic Review! Economists Alberto Alesina and Beatrice Weder ask the simple question, "Do Corrupt Governments Receive Less Foreign Aid?" in the September 2002 issue. Using a host of international economic statistics and several surveys of government corruption, they find that there is no evidence that nations and multinational institutions direct their foreign aid to less corrupt governments and away from more corrupt governments. They state their conclusion quite emphatically: 
There is no evidence that less corrupt governments receive more foreign aid. Our vast exploration of the data never uncovered any even weak evidence of a negative effect of corruption on received foreign aid. The same result applies to debt relief programs, an additional form of aid.

Scandinavian countries and Australia do seem to avoid highly corrupt regimes, but the US actually seems to favor highly corrupt governments and democracies over dictatorships (this would seem to suggest some correlation between democracy and corruption, but one that the authors do not address).
The authors write that "We do not intend to claim that the United States favors more corrupt government on purpose." This rather bold academic disclaimer seems to call for a translation: "We do claim that the United States favors more corrupt governments on purpose, but we can't say that in the AER."

The authors also tentatively conclude that foreign aid, over time, increases government corruption in beneficiary nations. In complete contrast to our naïve classical liberal model of foreign aid, government-to-government "gifts" actually make government worse over time in terms of both government corruption and economic growth and creates what the authors call a "voracity effect" in recipient countries.

The authors' brief review of the academic literature on foreign aid and corruption finds the following:
Foreign aid is used largely for "wasteful public corruption."
Aid money is counterproductive for good public policies.
Foreign aid money is given for "strategic" reasons, not real needs.
Debt relief is not effective.
Corruption has a negative impact on economic growth What goes unsurveyed, unstudied, and unsaid in the article is the ultimate corruption of foreign aid:

Our government gives away the taxpayers' money and it ends up in the pockets of the domestic "friends" of our politicians; the multinational corporations, the military arms and munitions manufacturers, big contractors and construction companies, and dirty dealers of every sort. The fact that some of the largess ends up in the pockets of foreign politicians is not surprising, but what is important here is that it identifies the real purpose of foreign aid, and it isn't a classical liberal , humanitarian, altruistic, or even strategic purpose. The primary purpose is to extend the semi-secret shakedown of the American taxpayer.

Most copies of the American Economic Review are never opened and read. There is good reason for this and it is something for which we should be thankful.

 

 

The following in my opinion are good examples of what the democratic liberals like Mary Landrieu are for. If you feel as I do then you will have to turn her OUT!

When will our people wake up and face the truth about that grand illusion that government programs are free? This has to rank as one of the most fallacious and pernicious frauds ever put over on the American people. Creating dependency on the government, cradled in benevolence, is the road to disaster. Never lose sight of the fact that when the government checks come easy the recipients lose all desire to do any hustling on their own behalf. The moral fiber of these folks, in many cases, is so corrupted that they will resort to lying and deception and voting for any and all liberals to get a share of those "free for nothing checks". Social security is one thing, but quite different are the handouts at taxpayer expense to snare votes. Never has the approach of robbing Peter to give to Paul, made the snaring of the votes from the hands in the inverted position group so easy. Big Kahuna

I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise, The power of the powerful,
The ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, The leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and The sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size. His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
Never forsake me,
Never mislead me,
Never forget me,
Never overlook me, and
Ever cancel my appointment in His appointment book! When I fall, He
lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody, everywhere, Every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful.
I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world. So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this... He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side, and That means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

 

 

You might remember this earlier commentary by the Kahuna on the Witchata Massacre –

What the hell has to happen for it to be really construed as a hate crime? If these two Black animals didn't hate, then what was their motivation? Surely they didn't even with a black victimhood mentality think there was a lot of loot to be had among these young whites. I for one find the national media so preoccupied with the embracing of black derriers in this country that to tell the truth about what animals these two are along with so many of their kind. It's just not possible! However we whites (don't include the Kahuna) are not without fault. We as a group, are so preoccupied with making a living and enjoying the good life, we have allowed ourselves to become so intimidated by the blacks both out of fear and the knowledge that our government will jump in on their side to grind us down with calling us racists, bigots and whatever helps the liberals pander to that voting block. We better very soon come to the realization that the blacks in this country have no love or use for the white man any more than they have in Africa. There are many who would like to see us disappear. That would present a real problem for them in the long run, who would carry them? I look forward to the state of Kansas doing the right thing after all this heinous crime happened in 2000. The time is now to deprive those two animals of the oxygen they consume. Before I close I am reminded of something that that maven of rabble rousers said not too long ago. I paraphrase Jessee Jackson said "on a dark night when waking alone an hears footsteps behind him he is glad he is in a white neighborhood.” We whites just don't go walking at night period. There are too many predatory blacks out there! Can you guess the Kahuna is mad as hell?  Those of you who feel as I do remember you have a voice write the newspapers create a stink. I may be repeating myself again but if it was your children would you do nothing?

Here are his comments about the recent decision –

The only thing that will really make me happy is, if those two animals are deprived of their oxygen supply "POST HASTE". Just the thought of these two being kept alive at our expense might make the bleeding hearts happy, but makes me sick. I pushed long and hard for this to be called to the attention of the public. However as of this moment the mainstream press (wouldn't want to incur the enmity of all the deprived blacks!)
continues to ignore a crime of this magnitude. This liberal standard used by the press is enough to gag a maggot!!!!    

 

 

Playing Hardball Or Accommodating Liberals?

 

Chester "Trent" Lott the most accommodating friend of the liberal left, won a new term as Senate Republican Leader. Perhaps, and it is justifiable to hope that he will change his approach for which he is renowned, that of grinding down those Senators on the right to the applause of those leftist that he seems to enjoy pandering to. They in reality have no regard for much of what he or the conservatives stand for. Trent Lott has rarely followed through on tough conservative legislation, leading many of us to wonder if he lacks the chutzpah to take on the likes of Daschle and his cabal. They only play hardball, a game it seems Trent is totally unfamiliar with, or is it possible he is in reality a Republicrat? The people of Mississippi should ask for an answer.

 

 

 

Good News From The Gilder Letter

 

Republican control of Congress means the mandatory increase in tax rates in 2010 will be tossed out--the Bush tax cuts will be permanent. It means the end of double taxes on dividends. It means health care and energy legislation. And it means the end of the judicial hostage situation in the Congress. The biggest of these is the dividend tax cut.
Eliminating either the corporate tax or the investor tax would lower the after tax cost of capital by 1.5-2%, adding as much as 30% to the Intrinsic Value of the stock market. The resulting stock price increases for dividend paying companies would induce a dramatic change in corporate dividend policy.

All this is great news for investors. Stock prices are 21% below Intrinsic Value today. Profits and Intrinsic Value are growing at about 7% per year. Dividend yields are just under 2%. If prices recover back to Intrinsic Value over the next two years--a very conservative assumption--investors will earn 2 years of dividends, two years of profit growth, plus the 21% under valuation over the period for a total return of 39%. If dividend taxes are reduced you can add another 30-40% on top of that. I meet fatigued investors every day who ask me if they should sell their stock portfolios and go to cash. That would be a tragedy. There is only one thing you have to get right this year. STAY
INVESTED!

Who says there isn't some light at the end of the tunnel. This is the sort of news that warms my heart and my pocketbook!!!

 

 

They Work For Themselves and Their Supreme Vanity!

 

Have you readers of the Wave ever given any thought, to how great it would be, to be in the position of doing a lousy job, most of the time, with impunity? Then have the privilege of raising your own salary, and those you purportedly work for (have no say), can go to hell! Then you must become one of the princes and princesses of the Congress or Senate of the United States.  It's no small wonder they fight to the death to stay at that cornucopia of perks and privilege. All it really takes is for the proletariat to keep their shoulders to the wheel, do no thinking and their mouths shut! If you have any doubt read

Do-Nothing Congress? Says Who?
"The Senate (with no shame) has used one of the first votes of its lame-duck session to accept a pay raise for the fourth consecutive year," the Associated Press reports. "With the 3.1 percent pay raise, senators and representatives will make $154,700 next year instead of the $150,000 earned this year. Lawmakers' salaries have gone up $18,000
since the end of 1999."

 

 

Being Drugged Can Be A Good Thing

 

I had a "drug" problem when I was a young person. I was "drug" to church on Sunday morning. I was "drug" to church on Sunday night, and I was "drug" to church on Wednesday night. I was "drug" to Sunday School; I was "drug" to vacation Bible school and "drug" to the family altar to pray. I was also "drug" to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, brought home a bad report card or did not speak with respect.

Those "drugs" are still in my veins, and they affect my behavior in nearly everything I do and say and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin. If more children had this "drug" problem, America would certainly be a better place. Anonymous!

Never, Never, But Never Forget These Things!

 

After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000; President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed five U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S.embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors; Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept his promise, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be alive today.

 

Also in the 1967 war in the Middle East 36 American Sailors were killed during the attack on the USS Liberty, an unarmed vessel in international waters. However there were no promises made by anyone about that!

AN INTERESTING QUESTION:
This question was raised on a Philly radio call-in show:
Without casting stones, it is a legitimate question. There are two men, both extremely wealthy. One develops relatively cheap software and gives billions of dollars to charity.
The other sponsors terrorism. That being the case, why is it that the Clinton Administration spent more money chasing down Bill Gates over the past eight years than Osama bin Laden?
~~~~
THINK ABOUT IT!
It is a strange turn of events. Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir. Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir yet to be written. This from two people who have
spent the past 8 years being unable to recall anything about past events while under oath!

The Liberal Harridan Speaks

 

The Kahuna wonders when you read the following. Is there anyone around that remembers Munich and Mr. Chamberlin? I wish there were! I'm getting too old to learn a new language!?


Journalist Helen Thomas Condemns Bush Administration
By Sarah H. Wright
News Office
Article Dated 11/12/2002
                            ~~~~
Veteran journalist Helen Thomas brought the grit and whir of a White House press conference to Bartos Theater on Monday evening, speaking with passion about the media's role in a democracy whose leaders seem eager for war.

Actually, the 82-year-old former United Press International reporter didn't just speak: she surged into her topic, giving everyone present an immediate sense of the grumpy wit and fierce precision that gave her reporting on American presidents Kennedy through Bush II such a competitive and lasting edge.


"I censored myself for 50 years when I was a reporter," said Thomas, who is now a columnist for Hearst News Service. "Now I wake up and ask myself, 'Who do I hate today?'"

 

Her short list of answers seems not to vary from war, President Bush, timid office-holders, a muffled press and cowed citizens, pretty much in that order. Angered by what she views as the Bush administration's "bullying drumbeat," Thomas referred early and often to her own hatred of war, quoting from poets and politicians to bear down on President Bush and his colleagues.

Winston Churchill, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Louis Brandeis, George Santayana, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King Jr. all made appearances in Thomas' sweeping portrayal of what she sees as the administration's betrayal of both the character and will of the American people and the principles of democracy.

"I have never covered a president who actually wanted to go to war. Bush's policy of pre-emptive war is immoral - such a policy would legitimize Pearl Harbor. It's as if they learned none of the lessons from Vietnam," she said to enthusiastic applause.
Thomas ignored the clapping just as she once ignored the camera flashes and shouting matches of the Washington press corps. "Where is the outrage?" she demanded. "Where is Congress? They're supine! Bush has held only six press conferences, the only forum in our society where a president can be questioned. I'm on the phone to [press secretary] Ari Fleischer every day, asking will he ever hold another one? The international world is wondering what happened to America's great heart and soul."


Like any star, Thomas, who resigned from UPI in 2000, appreciated her audience's thirst to get the insider's view of our national leaders, and she gave generously, in snapshots, though the Reagan and both Bush regimes were cast in darker hues. "Great presidents have great goals for mankind. During my years of covering the White House, Kennedy was the most inspired; Johnson rammed through voting rights and public housing; Nixon will be remembered for his trip to China and for his resignation; Ford for helping us recover from Nixon; and Carter for making human rights the centerpiece of foreign policy," Thomas said in an even, respectful tone. She just sighed over Clinton, who "tarnished the Oval Office."

Thomas' mood became visibly more somber at the mention of Ronald Reagan's military buildup and at the name Bush. Again and again, Thomas warned the MIT audience, "It's bombs away for Iraq and on our civil liberties if Bush and his cronies get their way. Dissent is patriotic!"

After her talk, Thomas participated in a panel discussion with Mac Vicar Faculty Fellows David Thorburn, professor of literature, and Charles Stewart III, professor of political science. Philip S. Khoury, dean of the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, introduced the speakers. "Helen Thomas offered a very powerful indictment of the current behavior of the Bush presidency in her comments on the incoherence and
inconsistency of Bush's policies and the danger to civil liberties of Bush's rhetoric," said Thorburn. He compared the lack of public awareness of an antiwar movement in 1965
and 1966 with the wide public debate about Iraq going on today. "An aroused citizenry can instruct the government," he said. Stewart also focused on the current public debate about Iraq, declaring that it may be a "hopeful sign. The polls say Americans don't want to talk about Iraq - they want to talk about the economy, about education. But the press has continued to point out the important thing. Everyone knows there's been a dance between the President and Congress over Iraq."


Thomas didn't let the press off the hook, though. "Everybody learned the lessons of Vietnam, including the Pentagon. In Vietnam, correspondents could go anywhere - just hop on a helicopter and report on the war. Now we don't have that access. It's total secrecy. The media overlords should be complaining about this. I do not absolve the press. We've rolled over and played dead, too," she said. 


Asked to advise young journalists, Thomas pounced. "Remind the politicians you interview that you pay them, that they are public servants. Remember every question is legitimate. And don't give up. There's always a leak. There's always someone who's trying to save the country," she said.


The talk was sponsored by the MIT Communications Forum

 

The Kahuna still wondering -"does anyone still around remember Munich and Mr. Chamberlin"?

Schadenfreude – Author Unknown

 

Know what brings the biggest smile to my face after the Nov. 5 evisceration of the Clinton Party? It's not that picture of a devastated Tom Daschle captioned with his comment that "This is the worst day I've had."  It's not the comeuppance so richly deserved by the loud-mouthed jerks who disgraced the Wellstone funeral service in Minnesota, costing Mondale the election. It's not that hordes of high-paid Democrat staffers on Capitol Hill are now out of a job and won't be able to find another, because all the K Street lobbying firms won't hire them. It's not all the newspaper headlines proclaiming the Republican Tsunami, and all the photos of a beaming Trent Lott, or Norm Coleman, or even that great shot of GW giving a thumbs-up.

Nope, the biggest smile of all comes with thinking of how bitterly miserable Barbra Streisand must be right now.

Normally, the emotion of what the Germans call Schadenfreude, malicious glee, should be assiduously avoided. Laughing at other people's unhappiness is almost always not a healthy or decent thing to do. But note the "almost" qualifier. There are, very occasionally, exceptions. This is one of them. President Bush has handled the gigantic
GOP victory with his typical class and graciousness. His comportment has been the antithesis of gloating, and has given the strictest instructions to all those at the White House to behave the same. He continues to live up to the moral ideal Americans have for political leadership.

But for you and me, ordinary Americans driven around the bend by America-hating liberals, we should be granted moral permission to gloat just this once. We should be allowed to admit that we are ecstatically happy that Barbra Streisand and Alex Baldwin and Woody Harrelson and Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange and Robert Altman together with all the other Hollywood clowns "embarrassed to be from the United States," as Jessica Lange puts it, are moaning threnodies of grief, dirges of gloom, wails of lament - in short, they're Singin' the Blues.


Permit us just this once to feel joy in their misery. I admit it. It feels absolutely great to know that pro-abortionist Kate Michelman is freaking out that the Senate will soon pass a ban on partial-birth murder, that eco-fascists are tearing their hair out over Bush's
allowing oil to be drilled out of ANWR, that Judas Jim Jeffords is reduced to a powerless minority schmuck on Capitol Hill, that House Democrats are about to follow Nancy Pelosi like lemmings over a left-wing cliff. There's so much to feel great about. But most gratifying of all is the utter anguish of that epitome of moral pretentiousness, the Hollywood Left. Of course, it's pleasing to know that same anguish is being experienced by Bill & Hillary, by the editors of the New York Times, by Rather-Jennings-Brokaw, and by hordes of Ivy League university professors.

The most satisfying Schadenfreude, however, is with Streisand. So let yourself go. Feel free to gloat. The president and his people can't. But you and I can. Just this once.

The Poem – Wish I’d written this – Author Unknown

 

I cross ocean, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say, "You come no more,
We send cash right to your door."
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, American dummy.
Write to friends in motherland,

Tell them 'come as fast as you can.'
They come in turbans and Ford trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks.
They come here, we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!
Fourteen families, they moving in,
But neighbor's patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house, and then I say,
Find more aliens for house to rent."
And in the yard I put a tent
Send for family they just trash,
But they, too, draw the welfare cash!
Everything is very good,
And soon we own the neighborhood.
We have hobby -- it's called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get free! We got no bills!
American crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think America darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.
If they no like us, they can scram,
Got lots of room in Pakistan.

 

 

This isn't funny. It did touch my heart and made me think about how many less fortunate people there are in this world. If you've never seen this, it will thrill your heart; if you have seen it click it off, if you can, I couldn't. It's beautiful and the prayer at the end is something we all need to do to God for the benefit of each other.

The Big Wheel
In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and just 75 cents in my pocket. Their father was gone. The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two. Their Dad had never been much more than a presence they feared. Whenever they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble to hide under their beds. He did manage to leave $15 a week to buy groceries. Now that he had decided to leave, there would be no more beatings, but no food either. If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it. I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best homemade dress. I loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove off to find a job.

The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small town. No luck. The kids stayed crammed into the car and tried to be quiet while I tried to convince whomever would listen that I was willing to learn or do anything. I had to have a job. Still no luck.

The last place we went to, just a few miles out of town, was an old Root Beer Barrel drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop. It was called the Big Wheel. An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out of the window from time to time at all those kids. She needed someone on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. She paid 65 cents an hour and I could start that night. I raced home and called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. I bargained with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night. She could arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep. This seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.

 

That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers we all thanked God for finding Mommy a job. And so I started at the Big Wheel. When I got home in the mornings I woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip money--fully half of what I averaged every night. As the weeks went by, heating bills added a strain to my meager wage. The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons and began to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and again
every morning before I could go home.

One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, no nothing, just those beautiful brand new tires. Had angels taken up residence in Indiana? I wondered. I made a deal with the owner of the local service station. In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up
his office. I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than it did for him to do the tires.

I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough. Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for the kids. I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting some old toys. Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry too. I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boys pants and soon they
would be too far gone to repair.

On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in the Big Wheel. These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper named Joe. A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine. The regulars all just sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then left to get home before the sun came up.  When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning I hurried to the car. I was hoping the kids wouldn't wake up before! I managed to get home and get the presents from the basement and place
them under the tree. (We had cut down a small cedar tree by the side of the road down by the dump.) It was still dark and I couldn't see much, but there appeared to be some dark shadows in the car-or was that just a trick of the night? Something certainly looked different, but it was hard to tell what. When I reached the car I peered warily into one of the side windows.

Then my jaw dropped in amazement. My old battered Chevy was filled full to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes. I quickly opened the driver's side door, scrambled inside and kneeled in the front facing the back seat. Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. Inside was whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. Then I peeked inside some of the other boxes:

There was candy and nuts and bananas and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned vegetables and potatoes. There was pudding and Jell-O and cookies, pie filling and flour. There was a whole bag of cleaning items. And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll.

As I drove back through empty streets as the sun slowly rose on the most amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. And I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious morning.

Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all hung out at the Big Wheel truck stop.


THE POWER OF PRAYER
When you read this, say a prayer. This prayer will do. That's all you have to do. There is
nothing attached. This is powerful. Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards. Let's continue praying for one another.

 

Father, I ask you to bless my friends reading this right now. Lord, show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace & mercy. Where there is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, & strength as they learn submission to Your leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your
courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise up leaders, and friends to support, and encourage them. Give each of them discernment to recognize the demonic forces around them, and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.
I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.
Amen.
Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend it will bless you both. Passing this on to one not considered a friend is something I know Christ would do.

Freddie Mac Press Release

 

Would it be safe to say this is pandering for home front safety? We are going to engage in war with these people, so we better protect our derriere at home! My God what next? People come here, don't like our laws so we the jackass states of America change the laws to suit whomever is displeased. Am I wrong in thinking that the following poem

Dane-Geld

Rudyard Kipling

 
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say: --
"We invaded you last night -- we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane.
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: --
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --
"We never pay ANY one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"

 

 

It’s All In Your Values – From Nancy Pelosi’s Hometown

 

Writing on the San Francisco Chronicle's SFGate.com Web site, "conservative activist" Adam Sparks notes that San Francisco is spending $13,500 on today's Veterans Day parade. That's less than it spends on the parades for the Brazilian holiday Carnival ($113,000), the Juneteenth Festival ($22,000) and even Samoan Flag Day ($15,000).
Memorial Day gets only $5,500, which at least is more than the Dyke March's $4,800.
No more to be said!! Bk

 

 

 

 

I for one will fly my flag proudly on November 11th.Veterans Day is a celebration to honor America's military personnel for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good. Never forget they are our sons and daughters. It shouldn't just be a day of sales in the stores. Without the sacrifice made by so many in the past we could be speaking a different language today. I am not referring to the influx of immigrants in our country. We could have lost God forbid our wars with Germany and Japan, if not for the supreme sacrifice of so many brave military people. Remember and be proud. Big Kahuna

Dear Conservative,

The times, they are a-changin'.

Republicans now control the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Finally, a conservative agenda can be advanced... and enacted.

But what should be done first? What should the legislative priorities be for the new Congress? Homeland Security? Judicial nominees? Partial-birth abortion? Tax cuts? Social Security? Or something else?

We elected them. Now let's let them know what we think!

ConservativeAlerts.com has established the "Official GOP Survey" where you can voice YOUR opinion on the most important issues that need to be addressed. The results of this survey will be delivered directly to President Bush, as well as Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and Speaker of the House Denny Hastert.

We need EVERYONE to complete this survey -- Make your voice heard LOUD and CLEAR! Click Below:

Well we the people have scored a homerun. Now the Republicans have the ball and must run with it. Hopefully they may have learned a little (perhaps a lot) about how to be winners?) Don't cave to Democratic whinnying and crying about fair play. We are now in the drivers seat so DRIVE! This stunning, almost earth shaking midterm victory puts us face to face not only with the prospect of governing successfully, but of taking advantage of this obvious public approval of our ideas. We received no help from the liberal left, quite to the contrary they put into play every lie, scheme, and machiavellian plot they could conjure to bring discredit and shame on our candidates. Well it was all to no avail. Their main modus operandi will now be to con and hustle our leaders into thinking they wish to cooperate with us. My first reaction is to think "Etu Brutus" or if you will, remember Troy! "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts". Does all this mean we cannot turn our back on the Democrats? You are damn right that's exactly what I mean! Big Kahuna

I like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires.

I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squirting out babies.  Guns DO NOT make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. 

I believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! 

I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. 

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers.

The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.  Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America and see what happens. Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.

When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the law of statistics.
I know what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal business. I would be "FIRED."
I believe that if you are selling me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room,YOU MUST DO IT IN ENGLISH! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen you should have to speak ENGLISH!.
My father and grandfather shouldn't have to die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.
I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I feel much safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed.

I know what the definition of lying is.
I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.

We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our Constitution is a living document and open to their interpretations.
I don't hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television, and that doesn't stop you from watching them.
I believe a self-righteous liberal or conservative with a cause is more dangerous than a Hell's Angel with an attitude.
I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help you.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid and smack their little ass' when necessary and say "NO.”

I am sick of "Political Correctness" and of all the suck ups that go along with it.

I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa, so how can they be "African-Americans"?  Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else.AMEN!

Some thoughts for Black Americans –

 

The easiest way to justify their existence, and keeping the racial pot boiling, your Black leaders have hung their collective hats on the idea of removing Confederate Monuments and eradicating the Battle flag wherever found. We are told that these symbols must go, but funny thing is, these monuments and flags have been around since the War for Southern independence ended and no one ever complained until recently.  Frankly, you can attempt to remove every monument, every flag, and change the name of every street and bridge bearing a Confederate hero's name, and at the end of it all the hearts of the people will be the same. If you perceive a shortcoming amongst your brethren, perhaps their hearts are the place to start. You seem to see me as the enemy because in me you see the KKK, and whatever other 'White evil' you can conjure up.  In all honesty, you are safer in a room or on the street with rebel flag-waving Southern Patriots than you are in a room with 10 other Black men you find hanging around! (The rev? Jesse said something similar to this once in his walking down the street analogy). To make any sort of progress in race relations, it is imperative that we understand where the problems DON'T lie, as well as where they do. We Southerners in general are not the source of your problems. Look to those demagogues that are keeping our country and you Blacks in a constant state of agitation.  Now, in this year 2002, it is time to shed the chains of slavery once again. The culture of victimology inculcated in you folks, has kept you quietly in your place, that those (liberal Democrats) who purport to champion your cause may extract their gain from your sweat and toil. In the meantime, the seeds of revenge and retribution are nurtured by those same charlatans who seek to mire your emotions in ungodly thought. It would be better to keep your collective eyes on our God!  May this give all food for thought! .... Amo Veritas

 

 

Vote Democrat if - You believe the government should have the power to force an employer to pay their employees more than they are worth. (minimum wage)
Vote Democrat if - You believe that it is unfair to the poor that the top 50% of wage earners in this country pay 96% of the income taxes. 
Vote Democrat if - You believe that pouring millions of our tax dollars into the Federal Dept. of Education will benefit local schools.
Vote Democrat if - You believe all our problems would be solved if everybody worked for local, state or federal government unions.
Vote Democrat if - You believe undocumented workers( illegal aliens) should be allowed to vote in this country.
Vote Democrat if - You believe your health care provider should be controlled and rationed by government.
Vote Democrat if - You believe that Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, Mary Landreau and Barbara Streisand are more intelligent than the rest of us.
Vote Democrat if - You believe that Jimmy Carter successfully negotiated lasting peace agreements with N. Korea and between Israel and the Palestinians.
Vote Democrat if - You believe the only thing Bill Clinton did wrong was have sex with a woman less than half his age while he was married.
Vote Democrat if - You believe the U.S. Supreme Court stole the presidential election for the Republicans, but it is perfectly okay for New Jersey to violate it's own election law in order to insure a Democrat senate victory (Torricelli/Lautenberg)
Vote Democrat if - You believe the government should be responsible for looking after your elderly parents, the health care and education of your children and to provide you income during your retirement.
And last but not least -
Vote Democrat if - You believe it is proper for the government to take 15% of your income for Social Security, all your working life, but if you die too soon your family gets practically nothing in return ($270 death benefit....NOT ME!!!

 

 

Think less of me if you will.However I'm 150% in accord with these views. IMHO the sooner Ameica and Americans realize we are being taken, not for our values but for our largess!! Then our country will be on the road to what we once were. A nation of many people (majority legal) with the same goals LANGUAGE and values. Our government (the people in charge) has let us down. My oinion and I'm stuck with it. Big Kahuna

Worth repeating –  The Ant an the Grasshopper

 

Great deal to be learned here, if you think about it!!
CLASSIC VERSION:.............. The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

MODERN VERSION:………. The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving. CBS, NBC and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering   grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing "It's Not Easy Being Green." Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing "We shall overcome".Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.  Al Gore exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".  Finally,the EOC drafts the "Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act," retroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. The ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in just happens to be the ant's old house. It crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once peaceful neighborhood.

 

MORAL OF THE STORY: VOTE REPUBLICAN !!!

 

 

"When politicians promise to give you something, just remember that the only money they have is what they take from the people. If you want someone to pick your pockets and then give you a handout, there are plenty of politicians around who will do that for you. In fact, a lot of politicians have been around a long time just by using such tactics.
Above all, never assume that political phrases actually mean what they say or imply. Rent control does not control rents, gun control does not control guns, and the Indian Child Welfare Act disregards the welfare of Indian children with unbelievable callousness." --Thomas Sowell

Mexico's President Vicente Fox joined France and Russia Saturday in opposition to President Bush's zero-tolerance against Iraq. No one was surprised. Any guy who drinks the water in Mexico every day can't be that worried about biological weapons..

Amo's thoughts on this: With Mr. Fox so dedicated to overrunning our country with his rabble, it's a wonder he has the time to consider what Iraq is up to. Now France on the other hand to the best of my knowledge has no parades coming up, so they have all the time in the world for his sort of stuff!!! Think about it. Amo Veritas

 

 

The outcome of the upcoming elections in Louisiana and nationwide, will be critical to the direction we as a country take for several years to come and how each of our lives will be impacted. What I find so bothersome is the lack of anything constructive being replaced by a plethora of negative, mud slinging and misleading ads. I for one have the view and I hope it's shared by others, don't want any of the hopefuls representing me and making decisions about my future, if they haven't been listening to what we the people want. This may be an assumption on my part that they work for us. I am fast becoming an advocate of ''none of the above'' being on the ballot. The outcome of this being if all the candidates' egos were totally deflated, they could finally get the message and begin thinking in terms of service not self! They are applying for the job of representing us, the ones who pay the freight. It scares me to think that in their minds that is a "Non Sequitur"

 

 

Let's look at the following distribution of taxes paid by various wage earners in the US, as reported by the IRS, for the tax year 2000 (the latest year for which the figures are available):
The top 1% paid 37.4% of all federal income taxes;
The top 5% paid 56.7%.....
The top 10% paid 67.3%.....
The top 25% paid 84.0%.....
The top 50% paid 96.1%.....
That means that 50% of the country paid less than 4% of all incomes taxes. The proportion of taxes paid by the top half increases with each year, and will continue to do so, (unless you use your voice and raise hell).  It has been pointed out, we will soon be in the situation where 50% of the voters pay no income tax, yet CAN VOTE  for higher taxes to be paid by the top half. Where do you fit in? Or do you think it's a
"NON SEQUITOR" Amo

 

 

Today, those who were big defenders of business, find themselves advocating in favor of government regulation and intrusion into the free enterprise system. This they know is the antithesis of growth, which has produced profits for so many of us. However there will always be losers in the economy. Until recently, U.S. investors were the winners. Now with this downslide the whiners and cry-babies are coming out of the woodwork! The average investors in corporations don't give a tinkers damn about the ethics of the companies as long as they make a profit. Maybe these investors who have been enjoying profits, should be hauled off in handcuffs for being guilty of being greedy, unethical capitalists, while some are losing money! I do feel that if a moral lesson is to be gleaned from this, it should be, don't pass judgment. Unless of course your actions can handle close scrutiny! Better yet endeavor to be a winner! Big Kahuna

 

 

What a tragedy that a black man (the press would have preferred a white radical) and his equally misguided accomplice took it upon themselves to kill so many innocent people. However, not to worry, the main-stream press has begun to swing into action and find many ways to excuse these heinous crimes. We must all realize that a bad childhood, failing in school, along with a bad marriage, plus of course he had a gun! (All of
this will have an adverse effect on any man). It was one of those real deadly rifles, the kind that trained SNIPERS USE ( Those of even moderate intelligence know the weapon can't do the deed alone!). It takes a trained marksmen, maybe a little demented to put that weapon into the wasting people mode. Now lets get to the way the leftist disarm America crowd takes up handling a tragedy of this magnitude. To do so we must always be cognizant of the innate liberal character and mind set, that will invariably lead them to turn a heinous crime into political capital. The fact is this is the well established modus operandi of the liberal left! Don't forget how tragedy was put to their benefit in Missouri. Think Jean Monahan. Now we already have the sniper and his miscreant side kick prompting the gun control idiots screaming for gun control! (code for disarm the American people). They will never acknowledge that it's the idiot pulling the trigger that brings about killing!!  Maybe this view is wrong. Let me know if you think so.

As Usual, Great Stuff, Kahuna!

 

Hi all!  It wasn't too long ago that I tried to cover some of this.  However I think Rush has done a better job! It would do all well to digest this and give it a lot of thought....
###############VERITAS########### 

 

“I think the vast differences in (SO DOES THE KAHUNA) compensation between the victims of the September 11th casualty, and those who die serving the country in uniform, are profound. No one is really talking about it either because you just don't criticize anything having to do with September 11th. Well, I just can't let the numbers pass by because it says something really disturbing about the entitlement mentality of this country.
  

If you lost a family member in the September 11th attack, you're going to get an average of $1,185,000. The range is a minimum guarantee of $250,000, all the way up to $4.7 million. If you are a surviving family member of an American soldier killed in action, the first check you get is a $6,000 direct death benefit, half of which is taxable. Next, you get
$1,750 for burial costs. If you are the surviving spouse, you get $833 a month until you remarry. And there's a payment of $211 per month for each child under 18. When the child hits 18, those payments come to a screeching halt. Keep in mind that some of the people that are getting an average of $1.185 million up to $4.7 million are complaining that it's not enough. We also learned over the weekend that some of the victims from the Oklahoma City bombing have started an organization asking for the same deal that the September 11th families are getting.

In addition to that, some of the families of those bombed in the embassies are now asking for compensation as well. You see where this is going, don't you? Folks, this is part and parcel of over fifty years of entitlement politics in this country. It's just really sad!!!!!!

"Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."-Adlai E. Stevenson, Jr.

Every time when a pay raise comes up for the military they usually receive next to nothing of a raise. Now the green machine is in combat in the Middle East while their families have to survive on food stamps and live in low rent housing.  However our own U.S. Congress just voted themselves a raise, and many of you don't know that they only have to be in Congress one-time to receive a pension that is more than $15,000 per
month and most are now equal to be millionaires plus. They also do not receive Social Security on retirement because they didn't have to pay into the system. If some of the military people stay in for 20 years and get out as an E-7 you may receive a pension of $1,000 per month, and the very people who placed you in harms way receive a pension of $15,000 per month. I would like to see our elected officials pick up a weapon and join ranks before they start cutting out benefits and lowering pay for our sons and daughters who are now fighting. When do we finally do something about this ??"

If this doesn't seem fair to you, it is time to send this to as many people as you can.  IF THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANGRY AS HELL, WHAT WILL IT TAKE???

When you think nothing could make you angry again this bit of news comes along.  Hello Lewiston goodbye Atlanta!  This is the cry of 2000 Somalis who found the attitude of the Atlanta blacks too hostile to them and their children. This was unacceptable to the Somalis (same folks who dragged the bodies of American service men through the dirt not so long ago). They then sent out groups to find a better more accommodating place to live. Guess who paid for their trips?  Guess where the lucky city is? It's Lewiston, Maine,a city where the welfare payments are higher and benefits abound. Well the Mayor  (Mr. L.T. Raymond) has already gone on record that the welfare rolls have risen along with rising rents and cost to the schools. Well the Somalis who are quick learners have already contacted the Feds to make sure they aren't VICTIMS. This word is fast
becoming a black code word for those who don't measure up! The dream city that the good people of Lewiston have built to go on forever won't if the Feds and the Somalis have their way!!

 

This is a travesty even if it's happening to a liberal section of our country that has always
thought what we in the south put up with has been deserved. Maybe they should present their case to their Republicrat senator, Olympia Snow. The people of Lewiston have their work cut out for them at this election time because the democrats don't want to offend this new cadre of voters. This could happen to any of our cities God forbid!!

 

 

This info just appeared in the Federalist!!
** Muhammad is in the custody of the State of Maryland. In May of this year, that state's Governor, Parris Glendening, halted all state executions claiming that the state's prisons have a disproportionate share of black folks in them -- implying that black folks are unfairly targeted by law enforcement. (He did not mention that the majority of law enforcement officers in the urban centers where blacks are "targeted" happen to be black.) Of course, the appeasing moratorium was issued in the interest of recruiting black voters for Glendening's protégé, Lieutenant Governor Kathy Kennedy Townsend -- who is making an appearance on next month's ballot as the Demo candidate to fill Glendening's shoes. That means Muhammad, who happens to be black, is now under the protection of the Glendening/Townsend moratorium. Surely Little Kathy's Republican opponent will ask if she plans on lifting that moratorium -- and the sooner the better! BK says "don't bet a lot of money that she will".

 

 

In the House, just when you thought immigration policies couldn't get any worse, "illegal alien John Lee Malvo...arrested by the INS and released on his own recognizance".  Rep. Jerrold Nadler (BK says, "A paragon of liberal stupidity) (D-NY) announced that his Permanent Partners Immigration Act (H.R. 690) got its 100th cosponsor. This legislation, introduced on Valentine's Day, is an attempt to afford an immigrant homosexual “partner" of a U.S. citizen the same rights as an immigrant who marries a U.S. citizen. "The legislation is just common sense," says Nadler. "That's why it has reached the triple digit mark in co-sponsorship, and bipartisan co-sponsorship, at that." ("Bipartisan"?
Make that 97 Demos, one "independent" and two RINOs.)

If you feel as if you want to throw up - do!!!

 

 

With all due respect to you ladies, no offense meant or implied!

From the "Department of Military Correctness," the Defense Department's Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services is back -- smaller, as promised (now 13 members, compared with 22 previously). But retired Marine Lt. Gen. Carole Mutter, the highest-ranking female officer in Marine Corps history, will chair the group, and that has some national security analysts worried the new incarnation of DACOWITS may not be all that different from the old board, which was dominated by feminist cant. Elaine Donnelly of the Center for Military Readiness noted that Gen. Mutter also serves on the
national advisory council of the Alliance for National Defense, a private group whose president, retired Army Brig. Gen. Pat Foote, is pushing for more military women in ground combat roles. Also on the alliance council is Sara Lister -- whom you may recall as the former Army assistant secretary who once derided the Marines as "extremist."
Gen. Mutter denied being an advocate of women in military combat, although she said she believes the policy "will continue to evolve."

If you don't understand the Democrat's version of tax cuts (and you are not alone), this will explain it for you:

50,000 people go to a baseball game, but the game was rained out. A refund was then due. The team was about to mail refunds when the Congressional Democrats stopped them and suggested that they send out refund amounts based on the Democrat National Committee's interpretation of fairness.  After all, if the refunds were made based on the price each person paid for the tickets most of the money would go to the wealthiest ticket
holders. That would be unconscionable.

The DNC plan says:

People in the $10 seats will get back $15, because they have less money to spend. Call it an "Earned" Income Ticket Credit. Persons "earn" it by demonstrating little ambition, few skills and poor work habits, thus keeping them at entry-level wages.

People in the $15 seats will get back $15, because that's only fair.  People in the $25 seats will get back $1, because they already make a lot of money and don't need a refund. If they can afford a $25 ticket, then they must not be paying enough taxes.

People in the $50 luxury seats will have to pay another $50, because they have way too much to spend.

The people driving by the stadium who couldn't afford to watch the game will get $10 each, even though they didn't pay anything in, because they need the most help.

Now do you understand?
If not contact Representative Richard Gephart or Senator Tom Daschle for assistance.
Always willing to explain things. Soooo much truth in jest. Big Kahuna

No need to wonder why our world is gong NUTS! Remember the lady whose coffee spilled in her lap? Now we have these!

January 2000: Kathleen Robertson of Austin Texas was awarded $780,000.00 by a jury of her peers after breaking her ankle tripping over a toddler who was running amuck inside a furniture store. The owners of the store were understandably surprised at the verdict, considering the misbehaving tyke was Ms. Robertson's son.

June 1998: A 19-year-old Carl Truman of Los Angeles won $74,000.00 and medical expenses when his neighbor ran his hand over with a Honda Accord. Mr. Truman apparently didn't notice someone was at the wheel of the car whose hubcap he was trying to steal.

October 1998: A Terrence Dickson of Bristol Pennsylvania was exiting a house he finished robbing by way of the garage. He was not able to get the garage door to go up, the automatic door opener was malfunctioning. He couldn't re-enter the house because the door connecting the house and garage locked when he pulled it shut. The family was on vacation, so Mr. Dickson found himself locked in the garage for eight days. He subsisted on a case of Pepsi he found, and a large bag of dry dog food. This upset Mr. Dickson, so he sued the homeowner's insurance claiming the situation caused him undue mental anguish. The jury agreed to the tune of half a million dollars and change.

October 1999: Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas was awarded $14,500.00 and medical expenses after being bitten on the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on a chain in its owner's fenced-in yard, as was Mr. Williams. The award was less than sought after because the jury felt the dog may have been provoked by Mr. Williams who, at the time, was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

May 2000: A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber Carson of Lancaster Pennsylvania $113,500.00 after she slipped on a spilled soft drink and broke her coccyx. The beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson threw it at her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

December 1997: Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware successfully sued the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying to sneak through the window in the lady's room to avoid paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000.00 and dental expenses.

DEMOCRAT
You have two cows.
Your neighbor has none.
You feel guilty for being successful.
You vote people into office that put a tax on your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money, buy a cow and give it to your neighbor.  You feel righteous.  Barbara Streisand sings for you.

You have two cows.
The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.

Your neighbor has none.  So?

The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours the milk down the drain.

AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one.  You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and are reducing expenses. Your stock goes up.

You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch.  Life is good.

FLORIDA CORPORATION
You have a black cow and a brown cow.
Everyone votes for the best looking one. Some of the people who like the brown one best, vote for the black one. Some people vote for both. Some people vote for neither.  Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which is the best-looking one.

NEW YORK CORPORATION
You have fifteen million cows.
You have to choose which one will be the leader of the herd, so you pick some fat cow from Arkansas !!!

Attention all black folks: If you want to talk about a plantation mentality, this is it! What was that has-been calypso singer/political activist thinking when he delivered his insulting remarks to the most highly respected black man in the country, a man who through his, ability and dedicated service has achieved the highest governmental office of any African-American in United States history? Not satisfied with his attack on Powell, he turned on National Security Advisor Condeleeza Rice, calling her a modern day Prissy, the simple-minded slave from Gone With The Wind. If he is the AD HOC spokesman for blacks, then it seems that all that matters, is that blacks who achieve are all uncle Toms and the white man’s tool. With this in mind is it any wonder that so many blacks are content to follow this line of thinking and just amount to nothing? I find it ever difficult to understand this line of thinking. The reality of this is do nothing and be nothing that makes you a grand person to your people.(blacks that is).On the other hand work hard amount to something have a position in society and you are branded an Uncle Tom or an Oreo. What does it take to reach this sort of Mentality? Talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't! It's called,  “can't win.” - Big Kahuna

 

 

During this election period I am becoming so totally satiated with the demagoguery, that spews from the liberal left. Their mission is to inflame the blacks and Hispanics against our society today. You can cut the animosity that is harbored against we whites just by studying these folks when you come in contact. Now my problem is that we aren't a
perfect nation however in a world full of places where people are starving and being butchered by corrupt leaders, (Africa seems to lead that parade). Why if it's fair to inquire, aren't these blacks who have nothing to do,but whine, going back to where they claim they have their roots. Instead they devote so much time whining and raising hell about supposed mistreatment. I have read many times and in many sources that the poorest of our blacks live better than 95% of those in other countries, mainly Africa. The liberal left knows how to play up to their weakness, just promise them everything, but deliver, NOTHING but rhetoric. I also watch the Hispanics in this country, who by
the way are literally dying to get here (check reports from the border) moaning and groaning about the way they are treated here. These members of Mr.V. Fox's legions would do well if they are soooo unhappy with OUR COUNTRY to consider going back from whence they came. There is a distinct possibility that with a lot of work and effort they could bring their countries up from borderline third world status that they are
enjoying. After all they seem to display no desire to assimilate into our culture, only to group together in their own enclaves and bring us as a society down to the level they are running away from! Xenophobic I'm not! just against all who come here( and those already  among us) to partake of the largess of productive citizens. To become one of us
requires only that they come here legally and have desire, faith in yourself and HARD WORK! I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears!! Big Kahuna

http://www.opinionjournal.com/columnists/tbray/?id=110002502

 

 

The Kahuna has arrived at the following conclusion about how to assimilate and be a good citizen in America:
Once you are here legally and have decided to amount to something try this.  Develop an infrangible always present loyalty to duty, country and a constant devotion to truth. Also a clear conscience and hard work will overcome every discouragement and surely lead the way to usefulness and high achievement. I am afraid these thoughts will have a tendency to eliminate all the whiners and those with their hands in the inverted position! VERITAS. Big Kahuna

 

 

The Constitution says:

 

Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.  The Kahuna's question for the day: Why and how did Jane Fonda keep from being charged with treason (the whole world was witness)??? For that matter considering the things that William Jefferson Clinton did in connection with China he too seemed to fit the criteria. Just thinking. Big Kahuna   

 

 

There is no shadow of doubt in my mind that we the people have to put a stop to this sort of thing. There is only one way to defeat the liberal agenda. We must learn to play to win. Sad as it may be we will have to emulate the democrats to do it! When is enough, ENOUGH!! Big Kahuna

It's not his singing that bothers me. However he does strike me as the quintessential example of an old saying "a little education is a dangerous thing". He has saved me money, however. I won't be giving to ANY black charities in the future! I wouldn't want to put them in the position of being beholden to a white bigot? Don't want to ruin anyone's day but in your wildest dreams think of what it will be like when they as a group are in the majority? There may be many of you out there who concur with me.

The Soufflé Doctrine
By MAUREEN DOWD
WASHINGTON - The Boy Emperor picked up the morning paper and, stunned, dropped his Juicy Juice box with the little straw attached.  "Oh, man," he wailed. "North Korea's got nukes. Sheriff Musharraf was helping them. Al Qaeda's blowing stuff up again. The Pentagon's speculating that the sniper might really be Qaeda decoy teams trying to
distract the law while they plan a bio-blitzkrieg or a dirty bomb attack on the capital. Tenet's broken out in hives about the next 9/11. Powell spends all his time kissing up to the Frenchies. Saddam's ranting about a river of American blood. Jebbie's in a world of hurt.  The economy's cratering. At least Karl says our war strategy will open up a can of
Election Day whoop on Congressional Democrats.  "This is not the way my new doctrine was supposed to work. We are supposed to decide who we pre-empt and when we pre-empt them. The speechwriters called it an Axis of Evil, but it was really just a Spoke
of Evil. Condi and Rummy said once we finished off Saddam, nobody would mess with America again. But everything's gotten fuzzier than fuzzy math. Some people are actually talking about my doctrine leading to World War III!!! Karl says that would be bad."

The Boy Emperor was starting to feel bamboozled by his war tutors. He needed a fresh perspective. There was a guy on TV with a round face and deep voice running around Provence, London and Berlin, where he suggested Schröder resign. He was pre-eminent on pre-emption. The Boy summoned him to explain the Bush doctrine. "Do I know you?" he asked his visitor. 

 

"I am the chairman of your Defense Policy Board," an amused Richard Perle replied. "I am an adviser to Rumsfeld, a friend of Wolfowitz's and a thorn in Powell's medals. Je suis un gourmand, Monsieur le President.  I have always dreamed of opening a chain of fast-food soufflé shops based on a machine that would automatically separate eggs, beat the yolks and combine them with hot milk and sugar, add the desired flavorings, whip the whites until stiff, fold them into the mixture and bake in individual pots without human intervention. Then conveyor belts would bring the glass-enclosed ovens to the table and patrons would get to see their meals rise. I've never found investors smart enough to realize the dazzling ingenuity of the Perle Soufflé Doctrine.

Meanwhile, I'm killing time trying to get your foreign policy to rise.  I'm known as the Prince of Darkness."

 

"Why?"

"I persuaded Reagan to ignore the weak-kneed, striped-pants set at the State Department and buy every weapon in sight until the Evil Empire was scared stiffer than a perfectly executed meringue."

"But why are we going after a lunatic in Iraq for planning to make a bomb and not a lunatic in North Korea who already has bombs?" the Boy asked.

"At the end of the day," Perle replied, his voice dripping with patience for his student, "Iraq is an easy kill."

"But if North Korea can deter us by brandishing a nuclear weapon," the Boy pressed, "why can't we deter Saddam by brandishing a nuclear weapon?"

"You must puncture the soufflé before it rises," Perle instructed.

"Why are we mad at North Korea for flouting its international agreements when we flout our international agreements?" the Boy wondered.

"You cannot make sublime crêpes suzette without a fire," Perle lectured.

"Didn't you insist that Saddam and Al Qaeda were linked?" the Boy persisted.

"We made that up," Perle shrugged. "You have to be imaginative, as Audrey Hepburn was in `Sabrina´ when she offered to make Bogie a soufflé out of saltines and eggs. As the Baron told Sabrina: `A woman happily in love, she burns the soufflé. A woman unhappily in love, she forgets to turn on the oven!´ "

"Huh?" the Boy said. "Tony and Colin told me to stop talking about `regime change´ and instead say, `War is a last resort,´ and stop talking about a `pre-emptive strike´ and instead say, `War is not imminent.´ "

"They're sissies," Perle said, his lip curling with an epicene disdain.  "You cannot deliver the sashimi unless you use the blade."

The Boy Emperor was more befuddled than ever.  "Get me Condi!" he yelled. "And a peanut butter and jelly sandwich."

Following, are the Kahuna’s comments in the form of an open letter to our president.
     

My Dear Mr. President,

 

Knowing that you are aware of the latest of her pieces, spewing her liberal venom about you our President. I must say it only serves once again to show how she bends over backward to embrace the democratic mantra. None of us have forgotten how during two terms with that national disgrace, she worked overtime dispensing her paeans about Bill Clinton! She seems to delight in being a certified horses posterior with her constant attacks on you Mr. President and anything conservative.   However in comparison to that feckless, craven, prevaricating draft dodging narcissistic Bill Clinton, you Mr. President are a  breath of fresh air and the man of honor, that our country needs at this moment in time. Dowd, who is runner up as the doyen of the liberal press, should find better things to devote her time to. Mr. Bush is her President also and she is one harridan who better learn to live with it. My God I'm glad to be a conservative Republican.

..............................................................................................................................
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, after a hard day's work at City Hall recently, came to a dead halt in traffic on the Dan Ryan Expressway, and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing's moving at all."  He noticed a State Trooper walking back and forth between the lines of cars, so he rolled down his window and asked, "Officer, I'm Mayor Richard M. Daley. What's the problem? What's holding everything up?"

The trooper replied, "It's the Reverend Jackson. He's so depressed about the thought of everyone knowing about his extramarital affair and his illegitimate child, that he's stopped his car in the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway and is threatening to douse himself with gasoline and set himself on fire. He says the country and his congregation are blaming him for his infidelity and doesn't know if he can live with the shame and embarrassment. The people in the halted cars along the expressway are taking up a collection for him."

"Oh, really," replied Mayor "How much have they collected for Jesse so far?"

"About 300 gallons," said the trooper, "but they're still siphoning."

 

 

France –

 

Here is a country who's main claim to fame is having the greatest parade army in the world. Then they have the dubious honor of having their chestnuts pulled out of the fire by America more times than they care to admit. Their veto at the UN is only an outward indication of a very jealous and envious nation trying to have their moment in the sun. They will first have to remove themselves from our shadow!

MERCY FOR KILLERS!

"I am that little boy Ricky. I saw them killing my parents. I saw them"

Richard Dean Pueschel told the court. Reginald and Jerry Mahaffey were convicted of killing both his parents and attempting to kill eleven year old Ricky.  They were sentenced to death, but Governor Ryan may commute their sentences, as well as more than a hundred other killers.

They were all tried. They were all convicted.  A jury decided, based on the laws of  Illinois and the severity of the crimes, that they should die. They went through the appeals process.  The appeals failed.  And now, they face the ultimate justice: the death penalty.

Wrong.  Illinois Governor George Ryan is going to commute all the sentences on his way out of office. That's right - every killer, no matter how brutal or sadistic, is going to be shown mercy. One man, the governor, who knows next to nothing about the individual cases and crimes committed, will commute all the sentences from death to life.

Clemency used to be reserved for special cases; one or two cases that, for whatever reason,  the governor overturns the jury's verdict. But Governor Ryan has decided to use the clemency process to circumvent the death penalty laws, laws which he swore he would uphold when he took office.

It may be Ryan's mercy, but you're going to pay for it. Of course, some of the 142 death row inmates will probably escape, and maybe kill or rape again, as they've done before.  But even if they stay in prison and serve out their life sentences, you'll still pay. It costs something like $60,000 per year to incarcerate an inmate, more than most American
workers make in a year. But that's because, in the modern way of thinking, a murderer is worth more than honest worker. And taxpayers, not the death penalty foes, pay the tab.

Americans can no longer tell the difference between movies and real life, so when a movie star like Tom Hanks makes an anti-death penalty movie like The Green Mile, people think innocents are being executed by the score.  But TV is not real life, and in most cases there is no serious doubt as to guilt when someone is sentenced to death.  Of
course, movie stars like Tom Hanks, who can afford bodyguards and security, don't have to worry too much about real life; they're insulated.  But in the real world it's much more likely that people like OJ ruthlessly stab others to death, and walk free, than that innocent
people face a death sentence.

Now that Mr. Ryan is commuting all death sentences, the next bleeding heart governor can reduce the sentences; or better yet, just release the prisoners.  After all, everyone, even those who rape and kill, deserves a second, or a third, or a fourth chance, right?

Cigarette makers are held responsible for smoker deaths; gun makers are held responsible for shooting deaths; fast food restaurants are held responsible for people getting fat; but real murderers? They're not responsible for anything.

The good may die young, but, in this insane world, the bad never die.

The Synagogue of Satan

by Edgar J. Steele

October 16, 2002

I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
     ---Revelation 2:9

My original intent for this list was gradually to develop the thesis of a book I am working on, publishing bits and pieces of it in column form as I went along.  "The Unified Conspiracy Theory" is the book's working title, but I am seriously considering a change to "The Synagogue of Satan." This, due to the disproportionate representation among the NWO'ers by jews who aren't really jews (you see, only sepharidic Jews can lay claim to the name and they are but a small - about 10% - minority of all those who go by the
label).

I planned to work from commonly-recognized conspiracy theories, such as the fomenting of World Wars I and II and the JFK assassination, through some considerably more obscure events (obscure as to causation only), to an indictment of the current ruling class of the world.

Problem is, I have run out of time.  It appears that we are on the verge of some very big doings.  Doesn't matter, because the book could never be published, anyway.  And, if published, would quickly join the slender pantheon of books that literally have been banned in America.

Because of the impending war on Iraq, I have decided it is time to pull out the stops and really pin the tail on the jew.  I started that 8 days ago, with It's the Jews, Stupid!!!  I added In Defense of Terrorism 2 days ago.  Both were pretty solid indictments of zionism in particular and jews in general.

The man behind the curtain does not like having the spotlight fall upon his wizened little hook-nosed self. 

It isn't enough that they own all the media outlets and can more than shout down those of us who are telling others about them.  They have to shut us down completely.

Thus, in the past 48 hours, my main ISP has deactivated my service twice for "spamming," though I don't even have email service through it.  My domain hoster has threatened to shut down my web sites.  A large number of ISPs have blacklisted my domain.  So much for free speech on the Internet.

Funny thing is that jews are not even the ultimate boogeymen, simply the most visible aspects of the NWO empire.  Wonder what will happen when I start saying "Rothschild," "Carnegie," "Rockefeller" and so on.

This morning, I got up to find over 700 unread emails awaiting, via my secondary ISP, virtually all of them spam.  Some of them were from me!  Some were failure returns to an email address that I have never used for outgoing mail.  No, I didn't send them. 

No, I don't have a virus (they cured me of penny ante firewall and virus protection some time ago).

I also received a couple of interesting emailed threats from some jews I hadn't heard from in quite a while (including one who threatened me and my family three years ago for daring to represent the Aryan Nations in that bullshit lawsuit brought by Dees and company).

They hijacked my domain name, were forging headers and spamming a select list of several hundred people, many with Arabic names, most of whom I had never heard.

It occurred to me that this represented some zionist's enemies list, so I added all the addressees to this list.  Welcome to you - herein you find kindred spirits, if for no other reason than we seem to possess an enemy in common.  For the time being, anyway, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Thanks to the phantom jew spammers for bringing us together!  If you want off, just click on "unsubscribe" down below.

I probably will be scrambling for new ISPs to provide service and/or host my domains.  These reports might become a bit spotty, rather than the once-weekly pattern into which I have fallen.  This is the price for telling the truth these days.  So much for the internet being the last bastion of free speech.

Oh, I got hate mail, too...in droves.  But, I'm used to that.  It is simply amazing how vulgar, even pornographic, jews can be when they are feeling self righteous.  And morally relativistic (the end justifies any means).

I got tons of support mail, too, which provides my solace in storms such as this.  I was particularly gratified to see new subscribers signing on, right and left.  There are now just shy of 10,000 list members, so I am starting to get some serious exposure for the message about the NWO now unfolding from the heart of America.

There is an awakening taking place in America just now, with lots of people sitting still and listening to the message about Israel and zionism.  Will it be enough?  Will it be in time?  I don't know. 

I can't answer all the email, even in a token fashion.  Know, however, that I read it all and that it buoys me up.  Thank you.

By the way, the weekend bomb blast in Bali is beginning to look more and more like it was what is known as a "micronuke."  Pictures are starting to seep through the government censors' fingers, pictures showing a mushroom cloud and a huge crater that could never have been dug with anything else.  Some have smuggled out soil samples for testing, to confirm reports of high radiation in the area.  If you think Arabs have this cutting-edge technology, about which most have not yet even heard, then you need a
serious information adjustment.

Regarding the stock market, can you say, "sell into the rallies?"  This may be the last one you will see at this level.

Those who live in large cities really should be earnest about packing a "bugout" kit and keeping it in the trunk.  Fill up at the halfway mark.  Pretend it's Y2K all over again.

What was it that Chinese dude said about "interesting times?"

Feedback to the Kahuna from Josh –

 

You always amaze me. What ever gave you the Idea that English was the language of the U. S. of A. I have, for years begged my so called representatives in both houses of congress to pass a law, declaring English the native tongue.  Years ago this could have been done, but now it can never be done. This country has no official language.  A person in this country, legal or illegal can require our officials to find an interpreter if they want to know what they are saying, or writing. On the other hand if you own a business in this country of a given size, you will be required to hire personnel that speak the languages in your area.

It will get worse. We are for the present a free country. Soon we will be a state in a world community of people that hate us for being successful. This world government has been being pushed by our Democratic Party for many years.  I see no way it can be stopped. There is "now" a world court that can take you prisoner for any thing they want, with no
justification. The U. S. Government can have no say so about you, or what treatment you are receiving.

When world agents come into this country to grab you. Our law enforcement can do nothing.  That is why I believe in the 2nd Amendment, and am well armed.

I hope I have not ruined your day.

 

Nope.  Just reinforced a truism, Josh – and very eloquently I might add!  Deb V

I thought this might have value for you parents :-o) I felt this way about my daughters!
...............................................................
Rule One: If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up.
Rule Two: You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.
Rule Three: I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and
open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes to big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.
Rule Four: I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a "Barrier method" of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.
Rule Five: It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: early."
Rule Six: I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry.
Rule Seven: As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car?
Rule Eight: The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter:
- Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool.
- Places where there is darkness.
- Places where there is dancing, holding hands, or happiness.
- Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to introduce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat.
- Movies with a strong romantic or sexual theme are to be avoided;
movies which features chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.
Rule Nine: Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me. 
Rule Ten: Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveways you
should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine....
VERITAS

 

 

I am GOD. Today I will be handling all of your problems.  Please remember that I do not need your help.  If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (Something For God To Do) box.
All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.  Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.  If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair.  There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.  Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.  Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.  Should your car break down, leaving you miles away
from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.  Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.  Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose?  Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.  Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse.
You could be one of them!

 

 

From the JWR –

 

From the Mouth of a Funny Man – Jackie Mason -

 

Doing nothing ought to be a crime. The conventional wisdom, which on visiting days can probably be verified by polling the involuntary guests (a.k.a. inmates) of our better penal institutions, is that you had to have done something -- anything --to be considered to have committed a crime. Walking down the cells blocks one would be hard put to find someone behind bars for not committing a burglary, or not stabbing a person. However, in terms of the number of people that are in one way or another injured, some of the worst crimes imaginable are committed by people not doing something -- and some of the worst offenders are people who you would never think of as criminals. Their crimes run the gamut from relatively mild ones, those committed against the body politic, to the crime of murder.

Senator Robert Torricelli, the Tony Soprano of the U.S. Senate, because of a remarkable combination of fund-raising abilities, chutzpah, and the Senate's high level of tolerance for the illegal conduct of its members, managed to dodge the repeated efforts of law enforcement to give him a forced retirement as a guest of the U.S. Department of Prisons. When it came time for him to face the New Jersey electorate he was opposed by a
political unknown, Doug Forrester. Forrester campaigned unmercifully against Torricelli on the one issue that sat on the road to Torricelli's re-election like a 300-pound gorilla: Torricelli's lawless behavior.
 
Torricelli slavishly followed former President Clinton's "They never convicted me of anything and I didn't do anything but I apologize anyway or not doing anything because people may have thought I did what I didn't do anyway it all depends on what the word 'do' means" approach to these sorts of problems. Unfortunately, while this worked for Clinton, it was not working for Torricelli, who was falling as much as thirteen points behind in the pre-election polls.  To make matters worse, Torricelli was unable to block a federal judge from releasing a pre-sentencing report stating that David Chang, the person who is now in jail for his illegal gifts to Torricelli, including an $8,100 Rolex watch, made accusations that were "credible in most respects." If all this were not bad enough, a 38-minute, commercial-free TV interview with Chang was broadcast in New Jersey. Torricelli, in order to avoid further humiliation and, in his view, to prevent the Garden State from falling into the GOP column, resigned from the campaign. The only difficulty for the Democrats was a New Jersey law requiring, quite sensibly, that any substitution of candidates be made at least 51 days before election -- a deadline missed by a two-week
margin. The New Jersey Supreme Court, in a decision defying both law and logic, found that the law did not say what it clearly said, and allowed mega-rich former senator Frank Lautenberg to become the Democratic nominee.

The court's reasoning was that to hold otherwise would deny the New Jersey voters a choice of a Democratic candidate. The court ignored the reality that any voter who chose to vote for any Democrat could simply write in the Democrat's name on the ballot. Of more importance is the fact that the Democratic Party did in fact choose a candidate. It was the party's choice to wait until it was clear that its candidate could not win -- and unfortunately that realization and decision came about within the proscribed period-- and only then was his candidacy withdrawn. The United States Supreme Court refused to hear any appeal of the New Jersey court's decision, and by this refusal allowed the lower
court's decision to remain unaffected.

The illogic and mischief of this decision is obvious. A campaigning candidate may spend all his time and treasure hammering away at an issue which, because of the other candidate's actions or positions, have been placed at core-center of the campaign. When the electorate is finally convinced of the accuracy of the accusations, the weakened candidate is withdrawn, and another substituted, leaving the remaining candidate
exhausted of funds and having to start all over again.

But why stop at substituting candidates only once? Why not keep doing it until a winner turns up? The United States Supreme Court, by choosing to do nothing, allowed a miscarriage of justice and certainly provided a precedent for this sort of thing to occur in the future with second, third and fourth choice candidates warming up in the ball pen like
replacement pitchers.  No less a revered personage that President Franklin Roosevelt, by his careful non-action, allowed mass murder to take place.


The steamship Saint Louis arrived in Havana harbor from Hamburg with 937 passengers who had fled from the jack boots of Hitler's storm troopers as they marched and murdered across Europe. Roosevelt refused the refugees admission to the U.S., sending the boat back to Europe with a sure and certain fate awaiting the passengers of ultimately ending up in waiting gas chambers .

Historian Michael Beschloss in his just-published book, The Conquerors, reveals that Churchill, in the hope of impeding the Nazi death camp murders of Jews, wanted to mount an air strike against the camps and their adjacent rail facilities.  "He [Churchill] told his Foreign secretary Anthony Eden, that Hitler's war against Jews was 'probably the greatest and most horrible crime ever committed in the whole history of the world,' adding: 'Get everything out of the Air Force you can, and invoke me, if necessary.' In July, 1944 Churchill was told that U.S. bomber pilots could do the job best ..."

Roosevelt refused to do anything and millions of Jews were destroyed in the ovens. Interestingly, Roosevelt who, to this day is revered by most Jews, had less then a love for Jews. The book reveals:

"After World War II began, FDR had privately said to Morgenthau [Henry Morgenthau was Treasury Secretary, a Jew, and a Hudson Valley friend of Roosevelt] and a Catholic appointee, Leo Crowley, 'You know this is a Protestant country, and the Catholics and Jews are here under sufferance.' He bluntly told them it was 'up to you' to 'go along with
anything I want.'"

President Bush had the choice to do nothing about Iraq. This would have been the most comfortable course for him. Perhaps the Iraqis would do nothing with their weapons of mass destruction until after his administration was over. And if they acted before that time, he could have sat back and said "I told you so" and, in the meantime, let
Americans and the rest of the world bathe in the sunlight of false security. He chose not to do this. So perhaps history is a fine teacher -- at least to those who heed its lessons.

Republic Washington Bureau
Oct. 18, 2002 12:00 AM
WASHINGTON - Arizona's Sen. John McCain, busy preparing this week to guest-host Saturday Night Live while conducting his nationwide book tour and making other TV appearances, did not show up for a vote on a $355 billion defense spending bill.  The bill, which passed 93-1, contained one of the largest defense spending hikes in decades and was one of just two bills the Senate took up Wednesday. It also is only the second of 13 annual spending bills Congress has managed to pass this year.  Though he did not vote on the defense bill, McCain, a member of the Senate's Armed Services Committee, inserted a statement into the official Congressional Record criticizing the bill's "wasteful spending" on items added by members of Congress.
"Over $7.4 billion in unrequested defense programs have been added," McCain complains in his official statement. "The American taxpayers expect more of us, as do our brave servicemen and women who are, without question, fighting this war on global terrorism on our behalf."

Not everyone was impressed.  "Flying around the country on a book tour and rehearsing for Saturday Night Live -which, when I last looked, was not exactly Meet the Press -
but then not showing up to vote in the Senate, suggests that you are not taking your official duties seriously," said Bill Allison, a spokesman for the Washington-based Center for Public Integrity, a nonpartisan government watchdog group.

McCain did vote Wednesday on the other bill taken up by the Senate, an election-reform measure that passed 92-2.  The senator did not offer an explanation through his aides Thursday as to why he did not vote on the defense bill for fiscal 2003, which began
Oct. 1.  McCain's spokeswoman, Rebecca Hanks, said only that she was unaware he
had missed the defense bill vote. But Hanks offered that his schedule was "incredibly insane." He has not only been rehearsing for Saturday Night Live, but is on a nationwide tour to promote his new book, Worth the Fighting For.

On Wednesday morning, McCain's schedule had him in New York on the Don Imus radio show. He then flew to Washington to attend a ceremony where President Bush signed the Iraqi war resolution into law. Bush began his remarks at that ceremony at 11:17 a.m.  Afterward, McCain showed up for the election-reform bill vote, listed on
Senate records as taking place at 12:07 p.m.  But he then missed the vote on the defense bill at 2:32 p.m.  At some point in the afternoon, McCain returned to New York for Saturday Night Live rehearsals. By 9 p.m., he was appearing on MSNBC's Hardball
with Chris Matthews.

One member of the show's staff said McCain showed up about 8:30 p.m. "They (members of Congress) are supposed to be doing the people's business," Allison said. "It should not be too much to ask a member of Congress who criticizes a bill to show up to vote against it. For him to make remarks and make an issue of something, and then not bother to show up to vote on it, how are his (Senate) colleagues to take him seriously?"

McCain's missed vote comes just weeks after The Arizona Republic reported he had been among the Senate's leaders in voting absenteeism in recent years. His aides responded that he had missed many of those votes while on the presidential campaign trail and when he was dealing with surgeries related to skin cancer.

We all have them! However not letting my disdain for this senator cloud my judgment, I think that at best it was a stupid thing to do! However I do firmly believe that the senator
has as his first priority - Himself. Amo Veritas

More Good Stuff!

 

I have just finished getting very angry at the phone card company, who wouldn't proceed with the business at hand, until I declared that I wanted the instructions in English. Have I missed something or is English still the mother tongue of our nation? It now occurs to me that if I were Hispanic it would be very embarrassing and annoying to me that most American companies take it for granted that people like me can't or won't speak or understand English. It seems fairly obvious that there are no telephone request for German, French, Italian or many other languages. Even the slowest among us would see that there is no assumption that those nationalities are unable to communicate in English. If I were Hispanic, I wonder what would depress me more - the fact that my fellow citizens feel the necessity to condescend to us Hispanics, or we as a group seem to prefer it that way?  When my mother came to New Orleans in the 20's she spoke only French. She, however, was forced to learn English, which was a prerequisite to assimilating into the American life style. NOT learning English was NEVER an option! All these immigrants had a desire to come here to be Americans - or was it only to reap the benefits of our largess and become good democratic voters. This doesn't require them to understand or speak our language!

This representative Republic that we refer to as a democracy, is being eroded into a system that many, thank God, are beginning to notice. That system is one run by lawyers and unelected, sit their derrières on the bench for life liberal judges, who are making law - not administering it.  They have when they can, thrown out the rule of law and now rule by litigation. This isn't what our founding fathers had in mind. They wanted to be free of a King who though unelected ruled by decree for life! I would hazard a guess that Gen. Washington and so many of our founders are turning over in their graves by this turn of events. We the people must stop being so damn complacent or we will not have our
constitutional heritage much longer. We must do everything in our power to preserve all that we hold holy in this grand ole Republic. Anything less than this would constitute a grave moral travesty, as we watch the greatest bastion of freedom the world has ever known disappear. Wake up America - it's not to late to save this grand old Republic even though the enemy is within and outside our gates! What say you?

 

PROOF that we have lost our collective minds. bk 

$28 BILLION FOR SMOKER!

Californian Betty Bullock - that's her real name, we're not making this up - may become one of the richest people on earth.   Did she inherit a vast fortune? No.  Did she invent an incredible new technology? No.  Did she win the world's biggest lottery? No.  Betty has smoked her way to fabulous wealth.

Betty Bullock is making her fortune the American way - by a lawsuit claiming ignorance and punishing a major corporation.  Betty, now 64 years old, claims, despite almost omnipresent evidence, that she didn't know that smoking could cause the lung cancer that is now killing her.

But the big money didn't result from the jury's efforts to compensate her for suffering - the compensatory damages were a relatively modest $850,000.  The jury - and it must have been quite a collection of sages - decided that they needed to add a little on top to make sure the big, bad, cigarette manufacturer was punished for its sins - and awarded
Bullock punitive damages of $28 billion.

$28 Billion dollars. Not $28 million, which would be absurd enough. Not a class action. $28 billion for one person - more than the gross national product of many small countries.  How long would it take an average American to earn $28 billion dollars? Over 933 THOUSAND years! A mind boggling, inconceivable amount.

(For those Outraged readers without a law degree: compensatory damages are given to, as the name implies, compensate the plaintiff for losses or suffering.  If the jury does not feel that the compensatory damages are adequate to persuade the guilty party to desist from such actions in the future, they may, in some cases, award additional punitive damages.

Although the plaintiff has been made whole by the compensatory damages, they also receive the punitive damages, as a sort of legal bonus.  Some legal authorities believe that punitive damages should never be more than 3 or 4 times the amount of the compensatory damages - in this case they were 33,000 times greater.  Liability cases such as this are almost always instigated by lawyers working on contingency fees ranging from 25-40% of the total award.)

Want to eradicate an industry? No need to go to the trouble of lobbying Congress and passing a law. Find a few trial lawyers - they'll be glad to help - and some jurors from the seemingly limitless number of fools in America.  Asbestos litigation has already made millions for lawyers and ruined companies like Johns Manville.  People who choose to smoke now pay more for cigarettes in order to fund legal fees and settlements to smokers.  If you like to drink, or eat fattening foods, or smoke cigars, or engage in any other activity which could be considered harmful - and what can't? - you'll soon be paying much more for your pleasure in order to fund the lavish lifestyles of trial lawyers and their plaintiff accomplices.

Of course, outrageous jury awards are just one of the many examples of lost reason. Abandoned and impoverished children in South American cities are killed by police because the children are a nuisance. Terrorists kill and maim innocent people in the name of God. Housing prices rise to the stratosphere, as stock prices fall and layoffs mount.

Last week, the man who in my opinion is a national disgrace, Bill Clinton, traveled to Blackpool, England, to attend Tony Blair's annual Labor Party conference. This master of perfidy and prevarication who has no regard for the unwritten rule that ex Presidents should be seen and not heard (at least overseas) ran his motor mouth by bashing President
Bush, and extolling his own tenure in office. He also went on at great length to praise that nest of anti America hating, have nothing, do nothing nations at the UN. by expressing his faith in them.(One world government is so very much alive with the Clintons)! This political miscreant tried to rewrite history, with an audacity that is mind bending. This man of no principle didn't fool all the Brits. The Oct. 3 London Times editorial said: "America once had founding fathers. It now has shameless sons." I along with many others find it extremely difficult to picture this feckless, craven liar of the first water, Bill
Clinton getting his greatest wish. That of being the first husband, and that is what he and that political demagogue wife have in mind. Stay awake, America! The enemy isn't at the gate they're in our midst. This unprincipled rogue tried to repackage himself as a statesman, what a stretch! His stint in the oval office was more like a page out of
Dogpatch, USA, with 'Lil' Abner and Daisy Mae. If Daisy Mae gets her fondest wish it will be "De ja Veu" for America ! If you sleep folks you could wake up from a very very bad dream. Big Kahuna

Why is it so difficult for people even those with limited intelligence to fathom that "IMHO", McDermott and Bonior two rogue congressmen at best are no different from Jane Fonda (subjective thought) and her infamous trip to Vietnam. She should have been shot for what she did and the same goes for McDermott and Bonior. For those to young to recall and those with   impaired memories I will attempt to refresh your memory. Jane flew to Hanoi, in North Vietnam and made speeches criticizing our military and in support of the North Vietnamese (she even dressed in a North Vietnamese military uniform). As a result her statements in support of the Viet Cong and condemnation of our military, many of our POW's were tortured and killed.

While McD and Bonior the feckless pair  were "fact-finding" and praising Saddam, our planes were being fired at in the "no-fly zone" by that paragon of truth Saddam who now ranks as their new found friend. What do you think would have happened if one of our planes had been shot down and the pilot captured? Don't dwell on that thought. I for one have never found it a productive approach to ask the perpetrator to show you evidence that he is in violation of any law including U.N. resolutions? Anyone who thinks their behavior is covered under the free-speech provision of the Constitution should get a copy and read it. Aiding and abetting an enemy is not a constitutionally protected act of free
speech. Of course in the PC world of America today it may have been inserted while we slept. There is an old saying that comes to mind:

"When a rat wins the rat race he is still a rat" Veritas!

 

 

Say it couldn't happen here. Not in our country! Well, we the people better wake up, big brother is alive and well. If we don't raise enough hell he (big brother) will have us sorted and catalogued! This will make George Orwell’s 1984 look like Ned in the first reader! Where is the

For those of you who are or will soon be eligible to join AARP, here's a glimpse of things to come...(TRY AND SING IT!)

There are recent rumors that Julie Andrews did a concert for AARP. MS.
Andrews sang a favorite from the Sound of Music, "Favorite Things."
There were a few changes to the words, to fit in with the AARP theme.
Here are the new words to this tune:
..............................................................................................................................
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.


Cadillac’s and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.


When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.


Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.


Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinin,
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.


When the joints ache, when the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.


I hope your lives are great and you are doing wonderful things.

The Kahuna loves you all.ßk

 

 

The D.C. Metropolitan area has been hit by a tragic flurry of gun violence," Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday.

This is a most astute obversation - emanating from one of the leading anti gun nuts in America today. Am I the only person that perceives the absence of any blame directed toward that miserable low life bit of excrement that is doing the shooting? I have done a fair amount of reading and cannot find one case of any type of gun coming down the street or hiding, killing people by itself! The anti gun people are going all out with this. Leading me to think it has very little to do with the victims. It does have a hell of a lot to do with their continuing effort to disarm the American people. Is my perception wrong
or are there any out there that concur with me? I have only one heartfelt wish and that is the SOB isn't captured alive, because the bleeding heart liberals will succeed in keeping him alive - of course at the taxpayers expense. Big Kahuna,River Ridge,La.

 

 

 

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pees in the flintlock of your musket."
10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
12. Have a plan.
13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
16. Don't drop your guard.
17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)
19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
22. Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.
23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with the number "4". ........................

Remember when it's over the Kahuna wants to see you!

 

 

Bill O’Reilly

 

I feel that for the most part what is said here is very close to the truth. However when was the vote taken and where were the American people, when it was decided that we had adopted Israel on a permanent basis. When this country was young I haven't read of anyone coming to our aid. There should be a statue of limitations on the help we give to have them around. Other countries that can't carry their weight, history has shown they just fade away. Is it out of the question that if Israel is so important, why isn't some of the load (and it's heavy) carried by other countries? Five billion a year if what we are told is correct is a heavy load to carry forever.   hmmmmmmmmmm? Of course this view won't meet with the approval of IPAC. Their first and foremost interest is Israel not the USA! Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.

 

 

God knows we must not do anything to offend the thin-skinned blacks at your school! They can and do almost with impunity many things that offend white people. Most of whom are helping to pay the freight in our society today!!! Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.

This short statement by John Le Boutillier that is to be found in the Federalist today IMHO only touches the tip of the iceberg!!!

"Crimes are only 'hate crimes' if the victims are liberal victims: minorities or homosexuals.

What a farce this whole discussion is! Liberals have so divided this country! We will never be the 'one nation' Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of until we truly ignore 'the color of one's skin' or their personal beliefs or practices. Liberals need to treat everyone -- and every criminal and every victim -- by the same standards. That is the only way the law -- and justice -- can work." –John LeBoutillier

 

BK says" On close examination this is a utopian dream, the law as administered today
is a farce!!!! I will cite just one big miscarriage. The Kansas massacre of those four young white young people by two black animals almost two years ago and they are to be tried (maybe) this year. Hate crimes and the law that applies to it is simply stupid! When you kill anyone is it with love in your heart? The miscreants know the law and use it against society to beat the punishment."

 

You all out there might like to offer other instances, if so please do. Those who doubt what I say please let me hear from you also. Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.    

 

 

 

The Kahuna wishes to say that the first thing those of us in this area must do is be really politically incorrect and thank the good Lord for bringing us safely through this storm!!

 

Now a few more thoughts on that meeting in Africa - The guilt trip that the have not nations tried to hang on us, was to be expected. It seems as if we Americans must really "apologize" for living in nice houses, and eating well and enjoying the fruits of our labors. We most certainly do spend a lot of money on health care and enjoying life. It might be well at this point to also say we haven't been on anyone’s dole!!  When was the
last time any of these whining countries ever offered so much as a note of sympathy when we were in trouble? The UN to the contrary, our great nation hasn't acquired any of our blessings at the expense of any third world countries. We in the west in particular America, are not responsible for the disappearance of the rain forest or so many of the problems connected with the global environment. Because we live so well comes, as
the result of hard work and good ole American ingenuity! While busy blaming the west, which to those indulging in another victims pity party, means the USA. Most of those at that conclave drinking fine wine and eating good food, really were preoccupied with a much more important agenda. What they could do to increase the handouts from those over privileged western nations, mainly America!!  It might do well for those in the third world to get up off their collective derrières and start helping themselves. A great first step would be to rid themselves of those corrupt leaders who specialize in lining their own pockets at the expense of their own people. Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.

 

 

The storm is gone so on with the business at hand. For those of you who are too blind to see or admit, the demagogic Democrats are on a political treadmill with a plethora of accomplishments to hector about. Forget the past years when they gave us the oral peccadilloes with that intern, and our Clinton "quid pro quo" with China. Then you have such paragons as Traficant in jail, Torricelli (he should be), Shelia Jackson Lee, who
seemingly suffers from lack of self esteem <G> (Texas can really be proud of her) Maxine Watters (the mouth) and last but not least, let’s block anything the President does, Dashle, who suffers from a ME first then the country "MAYBE" mind set. Is it any wonder that the American people, slow as they are to recognize chicanery and lies, are now beginning to become aware of the game plan of the democrat party demagogues. They will denigrate, obfuscate and indulge in the most fallacious statements about anything the President says. With one paramount goal - retain power and stay entrenched at the public trough. The country be damned! If it emanates from Mr. Bush it must be lousy!  After all he is a rich Republican.

Is Congress authorizing funds for the U.S. Department of State or the
U.N. Department of Global Governance?

The House will vote this afternoon (ET) on whether or not to spend
$8.6 billion for the operations of the U.S. Department of State and
related agencies in fiscal year 2003.  We urge a "NO" vote.

Here's where your money will be going:

1.  $244 million to the United Nations for so-called "back dues" to the U.N.
plus $78 million in U.S. "dues" that have accumulated since last year.
(The $244 million is the third installment of the three-year, $926 million
"back dues" to the U.N.)

2.  $726 million for international "peacekeeping" activities.

3.  $820 million for general migration and refugee assistance; $60 million
earmarked for transporting, resettling and absorbing refugees in Israel.

4.  $891 million for assessed expenses to international organizations in
fiscal year 2003;  UNESCO being one of these U.N. international
organizations.

It also.

1.  Raises the U.S. share of U.N. so-called "peacekeeping" expenses
from 25% to slightly over 27% for two years.

2.  Expresses the sense of Congress that the president should rejoin
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

In a surprise move, the House is now scheduled to vote on this massive
expenditure of taxpayers' money this afternoon!  Urge your representative
to vote "NO."  If rejected, this bill would be sent back to a conference
committee where we can continue our pressure to remove these enormous
sums of money to finance the United Nations Department of Global Governance.

This is short notice - but that's how they play the game.  They hope we won't
have time to get this information to you.

Urge your representative to vote no.  Go to

'So Help Me God' Stricken from Police Oath

(CNSNews.com) - Police recruits in Honolulu will no longer say, "So help me God," when they take the oath required of all new police officers. Wire reports say the group Hawaii Citizens for the Separation of State and Church pressured the police department to omit the word "God" on constitutional grounds - the "separation of church and state" argument. In fact, the U.S. Constitution says nothing about the separation of church and state. It just says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." Some have interpreted the sentence as a blanket ban on uttering the word God on government property. Wire reports said the Hawaii "Separation" group is now going after the Honolulu fire department, pressuring it to remove the word "God" from a firefighter's prayer printed in a department safety guide.

Don’t Lose Your Sense Of Humor – and Pray!!

 

We're about to enter the peak of the hurricane season. Any day now, you're going to turn on the TV and see a weather person pointing to some radar blob out in the Gulf of Mexico and making two basic meteorological points:
(1) There is no need to panic.
(2) We could all be killed.

Yes, hurricane season is an exciting time to be in Louisiana. If you're new to the area, you're probably wondering what you need to do to prepare for the possibility that we'll get hit by "the big one.''  Based on our experiences, we recommend that you follow this simple three-step hurricane preparedness plan:
STEP 1.Buy enough food and bottled water to last your family for at least three days.
STEP 2. Put these supplies into your car.

STEP 3. Drive to Nebraska and remain there until Halloween.

Unfortunately, statistics show that most people will not follow this sensible plan. Most people will foolishly stay here in Louisiana.  We'll start with one of the most important hurricane preparedness items:
HOMEOWNERS' INSURANCE:
If you own a home, you must have hurricane insurance. Fortunately, this insurance is cheap and easy to get, as long as your home meets two basic requirements:
(1) It is reasonably well-built, and
(2) It is located in Nebraska.

Unfortunately, if your home is located in South Louisiana, or any other area that might actually be hit by a hurricane, most insurance companies would prefer not to sell you hurricane insurance, because then they might be required to pay YOU money, and that is certainly not why they got into the insurance business in the first place. So you'll have to
scrounge around for an insurance company, which will charge you an annual premium roughly equal to the replacement value of your house. At any moment, this company can
drop you like used dental floss. Since Hurricane George, I have had an estimated 27 different home-insurance companies. This week, I'm covered by the Bob and Big Stan Insurance Company, under a policy which states that, in addition to my premium, Bob and Big Stan are entitled, on demand, to my kidneys.
SHUTTERS:
Your house should have hurricane shutters on all the windows, all the doors, and -- if it's a major hurricane -- all the toilets. There are several types of shutters, with advantages and disadvantages:
Plywood shutters: The advantage is that, because you make them yourself, they're cheap.
The disadvantage is that, because you make them yourself, they will fall off.
Sheet-metal shutters: The advantage is that these work well, once you get them all up. The disadvantage is that once you get them all up, your hands will be useless bleeding stumps, and it will be December.
Roll-down shutters: The advantages are that they're very easy to use, and will definitely
protect your house. The disadvantage is that you will have to sell your house to pay for them.
"Hurricane-proof'' windows: These are the newest wrinkle in hurricane protection: They look like ordinary windows, but they can withstand hurricane winds! You can be sure of this, because the salesman says so. He lives in Nebraska.
"Hurricane Proofing Your Property: As the hurricane approaches, check your yard for movable objects like barbecue grills, planters, patio furniture, visiting relatives, etc..
You should, as a precaution, throw these items into your swimming pool (if you don't have a swimming pool, you should have one built immediately). Otherwise, the hurricane winds will turn these objects into deadly missiles.
EVACUATION ROUTE: If you live in a low-lying area, you should have an evacuation
route planned out. (To determine whether you live in a low-lying area, look at your driver's license; if it says ``Louisiana,´´ you live in a low-lying area.) The purpose of having an evacuation route is to avoid being trapped in your home when a major storm hits. Instead, you will be trapped in a gigantic traffic jam several miles from your home, along with two hundred thousand other evacuees. So, as a bonus, you will not be lonely.
HURRICANE SUPPLIES: If you don't evacuate, you will need a mess of supplies. Do not buy them now! Louisiana tradition requires that you wait until the last possible
minute, then go to the supermarket and get into vicious fights with strangers over who gets the last can of SPAM.
In addition to food and water, you will need the following supplies:

23 flashlights
At least $167 worth of batteries that turn out, when the power goes off, to be the wrong size for the flashlights.
Bleach. (No, I don't know what the bleach is for. NOBODY knows what the bleach is for, but it's traditional, so GET some!)

A 55-gallon drum of underarm deodorant.
A big knife that you can strap to your leg. (This will be useless in a hurricane, but it looks cool.)
A large quantity of raw chicken, to placate the alligators. (Ask anybody who went through Camille; after the hurricane, there WILL be irate alligators.)
$35,000 in cash or diamonds so that, after the hurricane passes, you can buy
a generator from a man with no discernible teeth.

Of course these are just basic precautions. As the hurricane draws near, it is vitally important that you keep abreast of the situation by turning on your television and watching TV reporters in rain slickers stand right next to the ocean and tell you over and over how vitally
important it is for everybody to stay away from the ocean. And if all else fails put your head between your legs and kiss your derriere goodbye!!!!!!
Good luck, and remember: It's great living in Paradise!

An old farmer had owned a large farm for several years. He had a large pond in the back forty, had it fixed up nice; picnic tables, horseshoe courts, basketball court, etc. The pond was fixed for swimming when it was built.

One evening the old farmer decided to go down to the pond, as he hadn't been there for a while, and look it over. As he neared the pond, he heard voices shouting and laughing with glee. As he came closer he saw it was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping (naked for you young folks) in his pond. He made the women aware of his presence and they all went to the deep end of the pond.

One of the women shouted to him, "We're not coming out until you leave!"
The old man replied, "I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim or make you get out of the pond, I only came to feed my alligators."

Old age &treachery will triumph over youth &skill every time!

 

 

The Real Wichita Horror – Media Induced Passivity

 

What the hell has to happen for it to be really construed as a hate crime? If these two Black animals didn't hate. then what was their motivation? Surely they didn't even with a black victimhood mentality think there was a lot of loot to be had among these young whites. I for one find the national media so preoccupied with the embracing of black
derriers in this country that to tell the truth about what animals these two are along with so many of their kind. It's just not possible! However we whites (don't include the Kahuna) are not without fault. We as a group, are so preoccupied with making a living and enjoying the good life, we have allowed ourselves to become so intimidated by the blacks both out of fear and the knowledge that our government will jump in on their side to grind us down  with calling us racists, bigots and whatever helps the liberals pander to that voting block. We better very soon come to the realization that the blacks in this country have no love or use for the white man any more than they have in Africa. There are many who would like to see us disappear. That would present a real problem for
them in the long run, who would carry them? I look forward to the state of Kansas doing the right thing after all this heinous crime happened in 2000. The time is now to deprive those two animals of the oxygen they consume. Before I close I am reminded of something that that maven of rabble rousers said not too long ago. I paraphrase Jesse Jackson said "on a dark night when waking alone an hears footsteps behind him he is
glad he is in a white neighborhood. We whites just don't go walking at night period. There are too many predatory blacks out there! Can you guess the Kahuna is mad as hell?  Those of you who feel as I do remember you have a voice write the newspapers create a stink. I may be repeating myself again but if it was your children would you do nothing?

News: Colo. Economy is dependent on immigrants – Sierratimes

 

AIN'T LIFE TOUGH? I can readily understand the problem that such a liberal area has created for itself. I do wonder however what is wrong with the good citizens of Colo. are they all working that they must depend on lawbreakers and people they for the most part can't communicate with, to do the work that is needed? Maybe these fine liberal folks are setting the stage for another state that Mr. Fox's legions will take over. Believe me this is no attempt to be facetious check California! If we American citizens wish to keep our country and language intact then we will have to do many of the distasteful jobs!
Our government doesn't seem to have any desire to stop the lawbreakers (sorry folks that is what they are) so we must help ourselves!! Of course there is always the changing of lifestyle and language. It of course could be a little worse they could have the problem that we here in the deep south face every day. Think about it!

Teens Suing –

 

Hi friends! After reading this article, the Kahuna is forced to tell the story of his weakness (FOOD). I had gained a lot of weight through my own fault (not many admit to that) and did something that will be regarded by many as unheard of and stupid. I decide to help myself. I joined weight watchers by paying their fee. Foolish of me perhaps but it didn't occur to me to sue anyone for what was the result of my own weakness for good
food, none of it fast! I am happy to report that after 13 weeks the Kahuna is 23 pounds lighter, and with the help of my wife I am now a person with new-found self control. WOW!  Imagine that in our society today. I'm also happy that there is at least one blood sucking ambulance chaser that won't make a dime from what wasn't anyone’s but my fault. There is a great deal of satisfaction to be had from helping one's self.

OUCH!!  Boy do we need more of this here!!

 

Gun-toting Granny!
Shoots off rapers' testicles

 The crooks were surprised this nice lady did not turn in all weapons when gun control was declared in Australia.... were they surprised!!!

 MELBOURNE, Australia -- Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down - - and shot off their testicles. The old lady spent a week hunting those men down -- and when she found them, she took revenge on them in her own special way,- said
Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: 'Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God.'

Cops say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and his testicles when outraged Ava opened fire with a 9-mm pistol in the hotel room where he and former prison cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, were holed up. The wrinkled avenger also blew Thomas' testicles to kingdom come, but doctors managed to save his mangled penis, police said. The one guy, Thomas, didn't lose his manhood, but the doctor I talked to said he won't be using it the way he used to, Detective Delp told reporters. Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they're just happy to be alive after what they've been through.

The Rambo Granny swung into action after her granddaughter Debbie was carjacked and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding creeps in a section of town bordering on skid row. "When I saw the look on my Debbie's face that night in the hospital, I decided I was going to go out and get those bastards myself 'cause I figured the Law would go easy
on them, "recalled the retired library worker. "And I wasn't scared of them, either - because I've got me a gun and I've been shootin' all my life. And I wasn't dumb enough to turn it in when the law changed about owning one."

So, using a police artist's sketch of the suspects and Debbie's description of the sicko's, tough-as-nails Ava spent seven days prowling the wino-infested neighborhood where the crime took place till she spotted the ill-fated rapists entering their flophouse hotel. I know it was them the minute I saw 'em, but I shot a picture of 'em anyway and took it back to Debbie and she said sure as hell, it was them, the oldster recalled. So I went back to that hotel and found their room and knocked on the door -- and the minute the big one, Furth, opened the door, I shot 'em right square between the legs, right where it would really hurt 'em most, you know. Then I went in and shot the other one as he backed up pleading to me to spare him. Then I went down to the police station and turned myself in. Now, baffled lawmen are trying to figure out exactly how to deal with the vigilante granny. What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it is difficult to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison, Det. Delp said, especially when 3 million people in the city want
to nominate her for sainthood and a medal.

THE LADY HAS THE KAHUNAS VOTE!!

 

 

HEY! Why are we expecting these blacks and Hispanics to learn to speak our language or do math? NO NEED! In the coming Amerika everyone will be equally STUPID!

Few Support Confederate Museum –

 

These articles are a total anathema to me and many other southerners. Haven't the blacks erased enough of the white heritage in New Orleans? Will they only be satisfied when there are no whites around? At that point I wonder who will carry the tax load for what was once a great city. I say this as a lover of history Black or White. They the blacks, are working as hard as they can to remove all traces of white history, when they are finished they will have the sort of success story they have produced in Africa!<G> There were more whites fighting in the American revolution should all reference to that be removed also? One thing for certain they do subscribe to that Harvard Professor and his desire to have the white race disappear. Lord help this great nation when that happens.

Previously -

In case you haven’t seen this before -

 

This most certainly drove the anti gun people nuts. Please pass it along; it is very moving. IMHO

Guess our national leaders didn't expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton, Colorado, was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. What he said to our national leaders during this special session of Congress was painfully truthful. They were not prepared for what he was to say, nor was it received well. It
needs to be heard by every parent, every teacher, every politician, every sociologist, every psychologist, and every so-called expert! These courageous words spoken by Darrell Scott are powerful, penetrating, and deeply personal. There is no doubt that God sent this man as a voice crying in the wilderness. The following is a portion of the transcript:
"Since the dawn of creation there has been both good & evil in the hearts of men and women. We all contain the seeds of kindness or the seeds of violence. The death of my wonderful daughter, Rachel Joy Scott, and the deaths of that heroic teacher, and the other eleven children who died must not be in vain. Their blood cries out for answers. The first recorded act of violence was when Cain slew his brother Abel out in the field. The villain was not the club he used. Neither was it the NCA, the National Club Association. The true killer was Cain, and the reason for the murder could only be found in Cain's heart.

In the days that followed the Columbine tragedy, I was amazed at how quickly fingers began to be pointed at groups such as the NRA. I am not a member of the NRA. I am not a hunter. I do not even own a gun. I am not here to represent or defend the NRA - because I don't believe that they are responsible for my daughter's death. Therefore I do not believe that they need to be defended. If I believed they had anything to do with Rachel's murder I would be their strongest opponent.


I am here today to declare that Columbine was not just a tragedy-it was a spiritual event that should be forcing us to look at where the real blame lies! Much of the blame lies here in this room. Much of the blame lies behind the pointing fingers of the accusers themselves. I wrote a poem just four nights ago that expresses my feelings best. This was
written way before I knew I would be speaking here today:

Your laws ignore our deepest needs,

Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage,

You've outlawed simple prayer.

Now gunshots fill our classrooms,

And precious children die.

You seek for answers everywhere,

And ask the question "Why?"

You regulate restrictive laws,

Through legislative creed.

And yet you fail to understand,

That God is what we need!

Men and women are three-part beings. We all consist of body, soul, and spirit. When we refuse to acknowledge a third part of our make-up, we create a void that allows evil, prejudice, and hatred to rush in and reek havoc. Spiritual presences were present within our educational systems for most of our nation's history. Many of our major colleges began as theological seminaries. This is a historical fact. What has happened to us as a nation? We have refused to honor God, and in so doing, we open the doors to hatred and violence. And when something as terrible as Columbine's tragedy occurs -- politicians immediately look for a scapegoat such as the NRA. They immediately seek to pass more
restrictive laws that contribute to erode away our personal and private liberties. We do not need more restrictive laws. "Eric and Dylan would not have been stopped by metal detectors. No amount of gun laws can stop someone who spends months planning this type of massacre. The real villain lies within our own hearts. Political posturing and restrictive legislation are not the answers. The young people of our nation hold the key. There is a spiritual awakening taking place that will not be squelched! We do not need more religion. We do not need more gaudy television evangelists spewing out verbal religious garbage. We do not need more million dollar church buildings built while people with basic needs are being ignored. We do need a change of heart and a humble
acknowledgment that this nation was founded on the principle of simple trust in God!

As my son Craig lay under that table in the school library and saw his two friends murdered before his very eyes-He did not hesitate to pray in school. I defy any law or politician to deny him that right! I challenge every young person in America, and around the world, to realize that on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School prayer was brought back to our schools.  Do not let the many prayers offered by those students be in vain. Dare to move into the new millennium with a sacred disregard for legislation
that violates your God-given right to communicate with Him. To those of you who would point your finger at the NRA - I give to you a sincere challenge. Dare to examine your own heart before casting the first stone!

My daughter's death will not be in vain! The young people of this country will not allow that to happen!”


Do what the media did not - - let the nation hear this man's speech.  Please send this out to everyone you can!!!

 

 

Well the way I normally think is being shook up! I very rarely agree with anything that emanates from the WSJ, however this time hopefully not to my discredit I concur almost 100%.I have written before about the fact we TALK toooo much. In WW2 this would have been called treason. Why not now, all this talk and posturing will in the end result in the added loss of life of our young men and women, just as if we had sent the war plans to Bagdad. There is an old saying "Either s__t or get off the pot!!" This it what needs to be done NOW! When you have read the attached you might agree with the Kahuna.If not feel free to correct me.

Looks like the next step will be for our law enforcement people to just direct the traffic down there! They must however never attempt to enforce any of our silly laws or they risk having this happen again! However this will not give license to citizens to do this sort of thing without facing severe penalties. Are we still a sovereign nation? If the answer is yes

They way I see it,along with many others. More Americans have been killed by militant Islamics than any other enemy since the Vietnam War. Why do most of our people seem to have such short memories? How many remember or gave a damn that In 1979 a militant Islamic mob took over the U.S. embassy in Tehran, the Iranian capital, and held 52 Americans hostage for the next 444 days and from all reports it wasn't like club med! Our failed rescue attempt (ill planned from all reports that the main stream press reluctantly reported.) Those brave men of the rescue team suffered eight fatalities, they were the first to have the dubious honor of being Islam's soon to be many American casualties. (Carter just sat lusting!) Does it only effect our people if these travesties happen on our soil?

Now for those of you who suffer from short attention and memory span here are a few others! 

17 dead at the U.S. embassy in Beirut.  241 dead at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
5 dead at the U.S. embassy in Kuwait.  The president of the American Univ. of Beirut killed.  18 dead near a U.S. airbase in Spain.  1984: 16 dead at the U.S. embassy in
Beirut (again). 2 dead on a plane hijacked to Tehran. 1985: 1 on a plane hijacked to Beirut.

After a let-up, the attacks then restarted:
1995 and 1996,5 and 19 dead in Saudi Arabia.
224 dead at the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
The 17 dead on the USS Cole in Yemen in Oct. 2000. Then that day that will also live in infamy September 11,2002............. We as a country have been for some time under the feckless and craven liberals made an art form of turning the other cheek. Now with Mr. Bush at the helm let’s stop telling Saddam what we're going to do, NOW it's time we just kick ass! Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.

 

 

When you think of all the weak sister, craven, whining, candle burning people in this country, most of whom, to my way of thinking are liberals, they who neither think about our country first, or care to stand with the President when he, is giving us something to be proud of for the first time in years.  Now think of how great it would be if the following
letter were to be sent to some if not all of the bleeding hearts, those in congress included! Here is the letter that should be sent but I'm afraid never will. Wish I knew who authored it so we could all give him or her a cheer....................................................

A person wrote a letter to the White House complaining about the treatment of a captive taken during the Afghanistan war. Here is the reply!!

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C.

Dear Concerned Citizen:
Thank you for your recent letter roundly criticizing our treatment of the Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees currently being held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.  My administration takes these matters seriously, and your opinion was heard loud and clear here in Washington.

You'll be pleased to learn that, thanks to the concerns of citizens like you, we are creating a new division of the Terrorist Retraining Program, to be called the "Liberals accept Responsibility for Killers" program, or LARK for short.  In accordance with the guidelines of this new program, we have decided to place one terrorist under your personal care. Your personal detainee has been selected and scheduled for transportation under heavily armed guard to your residence next Monday. Ali Mohammed Ahmed bin Mahmud (you can just call him Ahmed) is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of admonishment. It will likely be necessary for you to hire some assistant caretakers. We will conduct weekly inspections to ensure that your standards of care for Ahmed are commensurate with those you so strongly recommended in your letter.

Ahmed's meal requirements are simple, but we strongly suggest serving meals that do not require utensils, particularly knives and forks. Also, these should be "one-handed" foods; Ahmed will not eat with his left hand since he uses it to wipe himself after purging his bowels (which he will do in your yard) - but look on the bright side.. no increase in the
toilet paper bill.

He generally bathes quarterly with the change of seasons, assuming that it rains, and he washes his clothes simultaneously. This should help with your water bill. Also, your new friend has a really bad case of body lice that hasn't been completely remedied. Please heed the large orange notice attached to your detainee's cage:
"Does not play well with others." Although Ahmed is sociopath and extremely violent, we hope that your sensitivity to what you described as his "attitudinal problem" will help him overcome these character flaws.  Perhaps you are correct in describing these problems as mere cultural differences.

He will bite you, given the chance, but his rabies test came back negative so not to worry.
We understand that you plan to offer counseling and home schooling.  Your adopted terrorist is extremely proficient in hand-to-hand combat and can extinguish human life with such simple items as a pencil or nail clippers. We do not suggest that you ask him to demonstrate these skills at your next yoga group.

He is also expert at making a wide variety of explosive devices from common household products, so you may wish to keep those items locked up, unless (in your opinion) this might offend him.  Ahmed will not wish to interact with your wife or daughters (except
sexually) since he views females as a subhuman form of property. However, he will
be eager to assist with the education of your sons; have available for their use several copies of the Q'uran.

Oh - and rest assured he absolutely loves animals, especially cats and dogs. He prefers them roasted, but raw is fine, too, if they aren't more than 2 or 3 days dead.

Thanks again for your letter. We truly appreciate it when folks like you, who know so much, keep us informed of the proper way to do our job. We think this watching over each other's shoulder is such a good way for people to interact that we will be sending a team of federal officials with expertise in your line of work to your place of business soon, just to help you do your job better.  Don't be concerned that they have the power to close your business, seize your property, and arrest you for any violation of the 4,850,206
laws, codes, regulations and rules that apply to your profession. They're really there just to make sure you're doing everything the proper way. That is what you wanted, right?

Well, thank you for this opportunity to interact with such a valued member of the citizenry. You take good care of Ahmed - and remember...we'll be watching.

Cordially,
Your Buddy, Dubbya

 

 

This information via a great piece by        Valerie Richardson!
She reports that Rep. Tom Tancredo is sparking a debate over immigration policy, but why? This country is supposed to be a nation of laws, but when a law such as deporting an illegal Hispanic gets between the liberal democrats and other bleeding hearts, their contention is we should ignore it. The truth is except for the pandering to the Hispanic vote, people the demo's really don't give a damn about, except that more than likely they vote with the democrats. The law should be upheld! One thing about the followers of Fox's brigade they never give up. Mr. Tancredo, in my opinion, shared by many others deserves plaudits not criticsm. Why bother writing laws if their enforcement only depends on who's ox is being gored. We keep this up and Mr. Fox won't have to fight another battle like the one they lost at San Jancinto. They will get this country by
default.

Here is the piece that I refer to ....Hope most of you agree with my view?

Lawmaker feels heat for deportation effort
Valerie Richardson
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Published 9/19/2002
DENVER - Rep. Tom Tancredo sparked a debate over immigration policy when he pushed federal officials to deport an 18-year-old honors student who illegally came to America with his family six years ago.

Jesus Apodaca, a Mexican-born student who lives in Aurora, Colo., was featured on the front page of the Denver Post in a story exploring whether state universities in Colorado should give in-state tuition breaks to illegal immigrants, as California and some other states do.

The Post story portrayed Mr. Apodaca sympathetically. But Mr. Tancredo, a Colorado Republican, contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Services and pushed them to begin deportation proceedings against the Apodaca family.

Democrats have seized on the episode to portray Mr. Tancredo as heartless, and some Colorado Republicans - eager to court the state's growing Hispanic population - are quietly backing away from his stance.  But Mr. Tancredo is standing firm, and some Coloradoans are strongly supporting him.

"It shows how out of whack our policy is when illegal immigrants feel they can go on the cover of the biggest newspaper in Colorado and not draw the attention of the INS," said Jon Caldara, president of a libertarian think tank, the Independence Institute, in Golden, Colo.

Mr. Tancredo says granting privileges to illegal immigrants is unfair to those who come to America legally.  

"It's not this family; they seem like nice people. That's not the issue at all," said Mr. Tancredo. "The issue is: What do we tell all these thousands of immigrants who are here legally and who are sweating it out to do it the right way?  The Apodacas may be seeking only to improve their lives,” said Mr. Tancredo, but they send the wrong message to legal immigrants.  "These people are telling everyone else who's doing it right that they're suckers," he said.

The INS, meanwhile, says it has received calls supporting the Apodacas. Democrats are also defending the family.  "Jesus Apodaca is the perfect example of a kid who was
brought to this country while very young, but succeeded spectacularly in his efforts to get an education," said Rep. Diana DeGette, Colorado Democrat. "In these days of very tight budgets and huge national security demands, the [INS] should focus on keeping terrorists and drug dealers out of our country, not trying to kick out honor roll students."

Among Colorado Republicans, Gov. Bill Owens agreed that "our laws should be respected and enforced," but some in the GOP have hinted that Mr. Tancredo should have stayed out of the Apodaca matter.

Colorado, like most states, requires illegal immigrants to pay full tuition at state universities, even if they have lived in Colorado for many years. But four other states - California, Texas, New York and Utah - recently changed their laws to allow illegals to
pay the lower, in-state tuition rate.  Hoping to win support for a similar move in Colorado, the office of the Mexican consul in Denver peddled the story of young Jesus
Apodaca to local reporters. The Denver Post featured Mr. Apodaca on its front page last month, telling how he had been admitted to the University of Colorado, but couldn't afford the tuition.  Since he had attended Colorado public schools from the time he was 12, when his family crossed into this country via the Arizona desert, Mr. Apodaca argued that he should receive the lower tuition rate offered to state residents.

After Mr. Tancredo saw the Post article, he called the INS to see if they planned to start deportation proceedings. They didn't. But after some prodding by Mr. Tancredo, INS officials agreed to send the family a warning letter.  Press accounts of Mr. Tancredo's efforts then sparked a public reaction - in an election year when the Colorado GOP has begun an outreach program to Hispanics, who make up 18 percent of the state
population.

"In the middle of an election campaign, when the governor is actively reaching out to the Latino community, [Republicans] are much more interested in expanding the tent than solidifying the base," said Denver pollster Floyd Ciruli.

But Mr. Tancredo is not backing down - as seen by his response to criticism by an official of the Mexican consulate in Denver.  "How can the Mexican consul be so brazen about telling people to take our laws and shove them?" asked Mr. Tancredo. "If my son showed up illegally at the University of Mexico and asked them for in-state tuition, not only would they refuse, they'd throw him in a detention center. They take illegal immigration seriously there."

Why have law? BK

PLEASE send this on to all you know who can read and haven't lost the ability to get mad as hell. I refuse to let this vanish from the public eye. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who feels these two animals deserve to continue breathing. I'm sure you will be grateful to God that they weren't your kids!!!!!!! Big Kahuna,River Ridge,La.

US and Israeli interests. Why has this become the accepted way of speaking of the problems in the middle east? Why does America the most powerful nation on earth, a commonly accepted fact, have to be always joined at the hip with the most hated nation (another accepted fact) in the middle east?

are the heirs of America's immigrant tradition, we have been tempted to lose sight of the commonsense truth that we have the right to maintain and enforce the distinction between those who are citizens and those who are not. We have the right to scrutinize more carefully the access and activities of non-citizens, and to bar from our ports of entry or expel any non-citizens who we believe are involved with or abet the terrorist threat. With fairness, but without apology, we must implement a regime that secures the borders and gateways of the nation." --Alan Keyes

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.  Eventually Michael the archangel found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired of God, "Where have you been?" God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds. "Look Michael, look what I've made." Archangel Michael look puzzled and said, "What is it?" "It's a planet" replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused. God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth. "For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor, the Middle East over there will be a hot spot and the Antarctica in the South will be very cold. Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over there is a continent of black people. "God continued pointing to different countries. "This one will be extremely hot and arid, while this one will be very cold and covered in ice." The Archangel impressed by God's work, then pointed to a large area (from VA to TX to FL and back) and asked, "What's that one?"

 

"Ah," said God, "That's the SOUTH, the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams, and an exquisite coastline. The people from there are going to be modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they're going to be found traveling the world. They'll be extremely sociable, hardworking, and high-achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as diplomats and carriers of peace. A truly great
people." Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be BALANCE."

 

God replied wisely, " 'Wait until you see the loudmouth, obnoxious people I'm putting north of them." "AMEN"  VERITAS!!!

IF I KNEW If I knew it would be the last time

That I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say "I love you," And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do?"  But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day,  That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear Take time to say "I'm sorry," "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.

Hey Big Kahuna what say you to this?  The Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union is raising hell over what they refer to as unfair treatment of ( I suspect mainly illegal) Immigrant workers, mostly in tourism, hospitality and travel-related jobs, who have been terminated, and subjected to unfair treatment, so says one of the big shot union officials who happens to be the Hispanic VP of the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union.  More than 80,000 union members, (a majority of them illegal immigrants) who if the truth is known the union doesn't give a damn about except that they represent such a large group of DUES paying future Democratic voters and future
colonist in the hoped for take over of most of the west by Hispanics!  Never forget the President of Mexico Mr. Fox feels we stole most of that territory from them!

This story doesn't end here. There were found to be a plethora of other immigrants working without proper documents. Horrors! how could this be? Well it came about because some bureaucrat finally got off his derriere and scrutinized what seemed to be fake or forged Social Security cards. Isn't this considered a felony if we citizens were to
indulge in this? punished by jail, and in their case deportation. I'm not sorry if this offends the bleeding heart liberals and the pity party candle burners out there, but we the people better become aware and quickly that these people who have no intention of becoming citizens or assimilating into our society have one far reaching goal. To take back what they feel was stolen from them at the Alamo. THINK ABOUT IT!
Amo Veritas River Ridge,La.

 

Having just written to the Kahuna about this sort of thing, here is another example of the EUNUCHS in the INS service ( may I be so bold as to ask what service?) not serving the best interest of we citizens. My God don't our laws count any more? or is building a larger voting bloc the paramount thing these days?       Amo Veritas,River Ridge,La.

 

 

O God, Our Help in Ages Past Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home. Under the shadow of Thy throne Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. Our God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guard while troubles last, And our eternal home. AMEN.

Talk about erudite? jackasses! This has helped to get my blood pressure up. I may be over simplifying. However the thought occurs to me that abolishing those dens of liberal socialism, Harvard leading the pack would be the best thing to do. Marxist like the writer of this piece, should find a home in one of those countries, that have found what he
advocates failed miserably. I welcome anyone who feels that my views are out of line to give me your thoughts. Had to voice this before I am abolished. Big Kahuna

Why is the Kahuna plagued by this sort of thought? Is it the lack of courtesy and what use to be called word of honor between people of good will? Maybe, but with a disdain for drifting into things political and trying as I may to fathom all of this, there seems to be one paramount thing that is constantly coming to mind. Our liberal leaders? In Washington with their promise them everything but give as little as possible, so as to control that do nothing but expect everything crowd, that through their voting habits perpetuates those bottom feeding liberals at the public trough. There are so many in our country that have been programmed to say and think that the government is the panacea for all problems and will take care of all our ills. How different from my day when we quickly realized problem solving had to be done by ourselves. We didn't have the time or the inclination for pity parties. Now the productive among us are becoming confused and very angry about the entitlement mentality created within the last generation. If you are here, no feeling of xenophobia, it doesn't seem to matter if you are legal or illegal you are welcome to that seemingly unending largess of the taxpayers brought on by that massive immigration of the past two decades. Hispanics have all but made their fondest dream of Aztlan a reality. The blacks in this country are never satisfied, they always espouse the virtues of Africa, but I fail to see any mass exodus in that direction. I think most of America would breathe a sigh of relief if the African American community were to give the bums rush to demagogues. I just name a couple, J. Jackson and Al Sharpton, that most of us see as having their own interest at heart and not the people they purport to love and represent. Perhaps they should read what Booker T. Washington had to say on the subject. I take the liberty of quoting him:

 

"Think about it: We went into slavery pagans; we came out Christians. We went into
slavery pieces of property; we came out American citizens. We went into slavery with chains clanking about our wrists; we came out with American ballots in our hands. ... When we rid ourselves of prejudice, or racial feeling, and look the facts in the face, we must acknowledge, notwithstanding the cruelty and moral wrong of slavery, we are in a
stronger and more hopeful position, materially, intellectually, morally, and religiously, than is true of an equal number of black people in any other portion of the globe."

 

My America may not return, however we could bring her back if we all started pulling together instead of this Balkanizing approach we are fast going to. Having a common language would be a start! Just some thoughts bordering on ranting. Big Kahuna

 

 

Talk about a group with real class – this appeared in The Federalist

 

From the "Jesse Jackson 'I have a Scheme' " Files, Jackson hired Chicago Demo Rep. Mel Reynolds onto the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition payroll. You will recall Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute pardons spree. Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is
more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sexual relations with an underage campaign volunteer. Amazing coincidences: An ex-congressman, who had sex with a subordinate, won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate, and then got hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate. And these are only the ones that surfaced. And just what is Reynolds's new job? Youth counselor. Sounds like he will fit right in. ßk says" This group could destroy the word value just by uttering it!" Makes you wonder if the word shame ever occurs to them! Big Kahuna, River Ridge, La.

While the world watched those special folks who were selected to attend that put a stop to hunger and famine summit in Africa, the delegates went about their appointed task of solving the problems of the worlds poor and starving in what use to be referred to as the dark continent. The way that Africa is handling it's affairs it could very well deserve to be
called that again. One of the main topics under discussion was the growing problem of rampant famine, much of it brought on by leaders who for whatever reason do not or will not see that their people get the food   that is sent by caring nations and their people. Now what better way for these caring delegates to discuss hunger and famine then by consuming large quantities of steak, lobster, chicken, caviar and of course washing it all down with champagne and bottled water, (no one in their right mind would drink tap water in most of Africa.) This is one of the things that they want the America taxpayer to (give) them  more money for so they can build water purification plants. The money will be fine.  It's we the people they have such disdain for. Hells fire there is even one Harvard professor who thinks the white race should be abolished! One thing for certain if the delegates come up with ideas that have merit (hopefully not costing the American taxpayer too much) there are enough poor people right there in South Africa where the
meeting is being held to really get started! Frankly the game being played here amounts to lets get Uncle Sugar and any other nations gullible enough to start supporting and carrying the African blacks. Sort of an international welfare system much like what we have in America. These are countries that are taking farm land rightfully owned by African whites and giving it to blacks who don't know how to work it to feed themselves. However, in countries where so many of the leaders are stuffing their pockets with aid money and anything else they can steal from the people and no one seems to care. This whole thing about poverty is in my humble opinion a scheme to continue getting into the pockets of the more affluent nations pockets.I also feel that this is another brainchild of that hate America group the United Nations. With that thought in mind and not lacking altruism, I think NOT one more penny of American taxpayer aid should be dumped into countries that from where I sit won't get off their duffs and help themselves. The good lord Jesus said it best "God helps those who help themselves.” If you think the Kahuna feels that this African meeting was a very large Pity Party you are right. What a tome this turned out to be.

Afterthought - I wonder if any of the delegates offered to share any of that abundant larder with the people outside the meeting place? Big Kahuna, River Ridge,La.

 

 

A man has spent many days crossing the desert without water. His camel dies of thirst. He's crawling through the sands, certain that he has breathed his last, when all of a sudden he sees an object sticking out of the sand several yards ahead of him. He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the sand, and discovers what looks to be an old brief case.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie. He is wearing a IRS ID badge and dull gray suit. There's a calculator in his pocket. He has a pencil tucked behind one ear.

 

"Well, kid," says the genie. "You know how it works. You have three wishes."

"I'm not falling for this." Says the man. "I'm not going to trust an IRS auditor."

 

"What do you have to lose? You've got no transportation, and it looks like you're a goner anyway!"

The man thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie is right.  "OK, I wish I were in a lush oasis with plentiful food and drink."
***POOF***
The man finds himself in the most beautiful oasis he has ever seen.  And he is surrounded with jugs of wine and platters of delicacies.

"OK, kid, what's your second wish."

 

"My second wish is that I were rich beyond my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
The man finds himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and precious gems.

"OK, kid, you have just one more wish. Better make it a good one!"

 

After thinking for a few minutes, the man says "I wish that no matter where I go beautiful women will want and need me."
**POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.

Know the Breed, Know the Dog
by Edgar J. Steele
September 7, 2002
Know the breed, know the dog
---Russian proverb---

By now, most of us have heard of the allegedly-white Harvard professor who wants to abolish the white race. His outlandish statements made news from coast to coast this past week. You can see the Washington Times article on Noel Ignatiev, founder of a journal called Race Traitor and a fellow at Harvard's W.E.B. DuBois Institute, a leading black-studies department, for yourself at http://www.washtimes.com/national/20020904-4292682.htm.  Mr. Ignatiev pledges to "keep bashing the dead white males, and the live ones, and the females, too, until the social construct known as 'the white race' is destroyed - not 'deconstructed' but destroyed."

Ignatiev, a Marxist activist who earned a doctorate at Harvard, maintains a web site at http://www.racetraitor.org , the motto of which is: "Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity."  It will come as little surprise to most readers of this column to learn that Ignatiev is one of the Chosen, born of jewish Russian immigrants.  I have often reported how the white race is under an ever-increasing assault from those who pretend to be members of it, yet are invariably identifiable as being jewish. The fellow who sued to remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance is one, for example, though he takes pains to pretend otherwise.

In almost every case where there is a lawsuit against things Christian, whether in public places or of a seasonal nature, you will find plaintiffs that are jewish, often lawyers representing themselves, and many of the professional participants in the courtroom to be Chosen, as well.  The original founders of most militant black organizations were jewish.
Until recently, the head of the NAACP was always one of the Chosen. The advancement of diversity has always been at the expense of white Americans. We now are far enough along that particular path to see that it can end only in chaos, of course.

The American criminal culture has always been jewish run, though the jewish-controlled media has done its best to lay that off on Sicilians. Meyer Lansky, Legs Diamond, Bugsy Siegel, Al Capone...jews, every single one of them. Italian mafia? Just the cover story.

Finally, the term "Russian Mafia" is gaining weight, by virtue of the flood of Russians into America following the fall of the Soviet Union.  What that term obscures, however, is the racial backbone of the Russian Mafia...jewish, of course.

Since jews are predominantly atheistic (yes, it is a racial term, Virginia, and even Israel is home to a majority atheist population), it is easy for them to pass themselves off as disaffected Christians or, at minimum, whites solely interested in "fairness, equality and
diversity." 

Make no mistake about this: Whites of european extraction are under attack throughout the world and, particularly, in America today. This is genocide, pure and simple, albeit stealth warfare at its best.

Mr. Ignatiev is to be respected for his honesty, if nothing else, though it would be nice if he would come clean about the ultimate reason for his battle cry: to maintain and strengthen jewish hegemony in America and spread it, via the New World Order, to the rest of the globe.

Many feel at odds with today's events, as though we were meant for another time and another place. Yes, we had a time. Ours was about 1890, so near as I can tell. That was a wonderful era between the Civil War and WWI. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers knew it well. It grew out of, and because of, great tribulation.  Our fathers failed to listen to the lessons put forth by their fathers. We are awakening enough to regret our fathers' failings. Our children and grandchildren will pay the price. Their children will reap the
harvest of what we sow today.

When it gets bad enough, and things seem quickly to be coming to a head, then many like ourselves will take up arms alongside our children and set things right again. Likely, we will be fighting off the invaders who will have just lain waste to our cities.  I pray that our government will not continue much farther down the path it has chosen, else it must inevitably become our mortal enemy, even before it brings down upon us the cataclysm that now seems so likely.

Meanwhile, we must do our best to awaken others. That is our task for now. To be awake early is to be cursed with the duty to awaken the others. That is why we have been given this insight. Take joy from this task. Aside from family, it is the only joy available until we cross over the troubles that lie ahead.  God willing, there will be another time for us beyond those troubles.  But, in a very real sense, this IS our time and our place. America's
founding fathers lived and died in far more distress than you and I currently experience. So few of them made it through to the good times, yet look at the difference they made. And we honor their memory, as ours will be honored, provided we do our duty.

Now it is our turn to make a difference. Though things will get worse - much worse - before they get better, we have no choice but to stay the course that destiny has thrust upon us.  We cannot, we must not, shrink from the task at hand. We all have one
talent which shines above others. We must use whatever we have been granted in life to help make that difference.  We, all of us, every single one of us, have a role to play in these times. For now, we awaken the others and we prepare. In time, we will have other duties.

Time and events make leaders; it does not happen in reverse. When the time is right, our leaders will emerge. They are already here among us.  Every place I look, I see men brimming with potential. Many feel frustrated, knowing what is coming while, all around, people seem unaware. Do not despair at the pace, because it is necessary - necessary for events to unfold further before we can awaken all the others. Current events are what give us the means to awaken them.

Yes, it is more than one man or, even, many men can do. But, together, we can and will all rise to this task, just as our race has done so many times in its illustrious history. Nobody will save you. But, together, we can save one another. We can ensure a future for our children and theirs.

History is littered with the debris of those who would not speak up. I, for one, refuse to be counted among their ranks. Join me in this great undertaking. Our time is now.
Together, we can make a New America. Together, we can do anything.

After reading this the Kahuna wonders if I am wrong to wonder why these people stay here? Maybe I'm too benighted to understand. Though I hope there are more of you who agree with me. The silent majority must not remain silent any longer! You have a voice - use it!!
..............................................................................................................................
By Steve Sexton
The "Star Spangled Banner" is too patriotic, divisive and political, so organizers of UC Berkeley's day-long tribute to the victims and heroes of 9-11 are excluding it. "God Bless America" is doubly excluded. Not only is it patriotic, but it also mentions God, something else that is taboo next Wednesday.

The Sept. 11 Day of Remembrance, sponsored by the Chancellor's office, the student body government and the Graduate Assembly, will also feature student leaders distributing white ribbons, instead of the red, white and blue ones they had originally planned.

"We thought that may be just too political, too patriotic," said Hazel Wong, chief organizer for the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC). "We didn't want anything too centered on nationalism-anything that is 'Go U.S.A.'"

Wong said the event organizers are "trying to steer away" from anything political, and that, she said, includes singing the National Anthem and displaying the red, white, and blue. She said they don't want politics disrupting mourning and grieving.

"To hold a Sept. 11 memorial service devoid of patriotism is counterintuitive," said Mark Engberg, a UC Berkeley freshman. "Holding a service without patriotism is like holding a presidential debate without mentioning politics. It doesn't work."

Jessica Quindel, president of the Graduate Assembly, a key player in the planning, said the day's events are about more than just grieving. She said the day is, in fact, about politics. And it's not just about Sept. 11, but also the aftermath, including President Bush's response to the terrorist attacks. "We are trying to stay away from supporting Bush," Quindel said.  "We don't want to isolate people on this campus who disagree with the reaction to Sept. 11."

Quindel, a self avowed hater of the American Flag, the federal government, and the "Star Spangled Banner," said she is still patriotic. "It depends on your definition of patriotism. Everyone has a different definition," she said. Patriotic songs may exclude and offend people, Quindel said, "because there are so many people who don't agree with the songs."

 

"God Bless America" is "very exclusive" because it mentions God, she said.

 

Though plans call for four university music and song groups to perform at an evening
vigil, not a single patriotic song will be sung, at the behest of organizers.  Instead, songs of remembrance will be offered up.

Also, to prevent the exclusion of those who don't believe in the American Flag, there will be no tribute to the flag. "The flag has become a symbol of U.S. aggression towards other countries. It seems hostile," Quindel said.

Quindel will be one of two people selecting speakers for short speeches by students during a noontime event on Memorial Glade. Students must pre-register indicating the topic of the comments they wish to make-classifying them into categories of mourning, religious and political.


That system doesn't wash with Robb McFadden, director of the California College Republicans. "If Quindel and her Marxist comrades are selecting the speakers, I think there are serious violations of fundamental fairness," he said. "How can we expect freedom of speech to be filtered through such a radical political ideologue?"

Scheduled speakers at the Memorial Glade assembly include Chancellor Robert Berdahl, ASUC President Jesse Gabriel, and Quindel. They will likely speak, according to Wong, about peace.

Those who aren't selected to speak by Quindel and her undergraduate counterpart, Gabriel, will have an opportunity to speak at an open microphone assembly in the evening. But if last year's open microphone assembly on the night the attacks occurred is any guide, there will likely not be an opportunity for patriotic speech Wednesday. At last Sept. 11's vigil, members of the Berkeley College Republicans were shouted down
while speaking of patriotism.

The primary planner for Chancellor Berdahl, Colleen Rovetti, director of university events and ceremonies, said she did not know avoiding patriotism was an overriding objective of the student planners. She echoed remarks by other organizers stressing their intent to make the event a memorial and not a protest.  Gabriel said organizers aim to "separate political beliefs from mourning."

"Singing 'God Bless America' may prompt people to shout it down," he said.

Similar fears of aggression toward the flag prompted Berkeley's fire chief to order American flags removed from fire trucks. City leaders worried protesters would attack the flag and comprise firefighters' ability to do their job. After national outcry, the flags were returned to the fire trucks.  Members of the Berkeley College Republicans attended the student senate meeting last night to urge their elected leaders to alter the plans for the
Sept. 11 memorial to include patriotic themes.

"If we leave patriotism and religion out of this event, we'd be reducing the memorial to a bunch of anti-American whining, said Republican ASUC Senator Paul LaFata. “Patriotism has a place on this campus, and by excluding it, the ASUC has done exactly what they wanted to avoid. They have offended students."

The Republicans were countered by those supporting the decision of the event organizers. The decision's proponents argued that patriotism leads to nationalism. They also said patriotism would exclude students who are not American citizens.  Quindel said it would be inappropriate for the university to endorse patriotic themes, and urged students to express their views at the open microphone sessions.
