Many Thanks to Tommy Sands for giving us permission to use it on the album Songs and Stories.
The earth's getting hotter with each passing year
Claim scientists, leftists and people that fear
Al Gore's propaganda and rising sea levels
The U.S. is evil and Bush is the devil
We must cut back on our fossil fuel
The money be damned this isn't a duel
The snow pack is melting the glaciers are going
The hurricane season is sure to be growing
The deserts will grow and cities will flood
Where once ran our rivers will soon be dried mud
Our driving and making the items we crave
Is driving our planet to a nice early grave
The fix is uncertain cuz we're not really sure
If taking away your SUV is a cure
Or maybe make everyone live in apartments
And eat only vege's so no more meat markets
Cows make the gas, as you surely know
That's making our temperatures on our home grow
To levels not seen since the cretaceous era
When dinosaurs roamed in the untainted air
Which gets me to thinking what could they have done
To make things much warmer and ruin their run
Of millions of years as the dominant species
I think Al Gore's line may be two tons of feces
I know that the dino's did not drive around
In cars or make asphalt to cover the ground
They didn't burn coal or oil or gas
Al Gore must be talking right out of his ass
The earth got much hotter way back in the day
Before man came along to ruin the way
That nature would balance the hot and the cold
To think we're so big is certainly bold
We're a pip, we're a dot in the history of time
But to think we're so powerful is purely sublime
If you want to know what makes it get hot
I have your clue, come and give it a shot
I'll give you three guesses to make this game fun
Here's a hint it's that big ball of gas called the sun
Claim scientists, leftists and people that fear
Al Gore's propaganda and rising sea levels
The U.S. is evil and Bush is the devil
We must cut back on our fossil fuel
The money be damned this isn't a duel
The snow pack is melting the glaciers are going

Time to roll up a new character my friend.
If you understand the title of this post, or it's first line, then you may be sad to learn, if you don't already know, that Gary Gygax has passed away.
I admit it...I am kind of a geek, but I am a specialized geek. I am an old school D&D geek, still using first edition modules and first edition versions of the AD&D DM Guide and Players Handbook, dogeared, marked up and beloved. I can probably quote most any page, like a Southern Baptist Preacher with a Bible. I still play, not as much as I wish, but that is about to change, as I am introducing my son and his vivid imagination to the game next week. For a child raised on video games and computer technology, it may be a bit of a change, but among my many geeky talents is Tale Telling, Yarn Spinning and Master Crofter of the Spoken Word, bardic arts, if you will, and it is a skill I have honed over many years of countless ren faires and SCA events. As I said....geek.
My geekiness is a pure geekinees. I read LOTR at 8, and have never seen the movie, refusing to taint the movie in my head with a second rate version from a fat wannabe directing geek. I can discuss in depth Dragonlance storylines, and in fact it was because of those books that I was tagged with my nick, which stuck. I make Tas look absolutely timid. In fact, if you hear someone call me by my given name, not only am I slow to answer, rarely using it, but you can be sure that they have known me since I was a wee bairn.
I won't spend a lot of time on maudlin prose, suffice it to say that D&D had an impact, not only on me but on many many people. Adam Rogers has said it best in this post here (click here).
So here's to you Gary.
We make our way to the tavern, calling for ales as we pass through the door, except for our erstwhile abstaining paladin, who asks for water, and we find seats by the fire, keeping an ear out for interesting conversation that may lead to adventure, or a scornful remark about our scarred up dwarvish traveling companion, hoping for a good brawl, and I am wearing my bracers of speed +2 that give me automatic initiative in any fight.
Can someone bring me a Mt. Dew?

I'm a dilettante
Haikus and bad doggerel
Spew forth like refuse
So Lorna queries
Kender complies quickly now
I should warn her here
Haikus you shall read
Images unbidden come
Disney don't sue me
Insomniac wine
Produces twisted thinking
Childhood is lost
Fear not peruser
Fiction of the mind is here
Big Bird is still pure
Elmo screams aloud
But his pleas fall on deaf ears
Bert and Ernie laugh
Floor creaks in the night
Big Bird heaves a lustful sigh
Elmo screams again
Big Bird loads his gun
Dropping ratings threaten job
Teletubbies die
Teletubbies drop
Like flies in a mist of Raid
Big Bird must reload
Soft moans in the night
Signal muppets on the prowl
Oscar looks for love
Big Birds young groupies
Defile the letter A
When the tapings done
Barney runs like hell
Big Birds on the prowl again
Looking for fresh meat
Kermit makes breakfast
Bacon and ham and sausage
Miss Piggy tastes good
Mickey and Minnie
Dance and trip the night away
XTC is king
Territory marked
He's just doing his duty
Pluto wanders on
Jiminy Cricket
Sat upon the bank singing
Until the frog ate
Mickey and Goofy
In a compromising way
The tabloids say
Buzz and Woody sit
At the gate of The Kingdom
Checking out the girls
There is nothing like
A six dollar hamburger
To piss you off good
Popcorn on Main Street
Sticks between my teeth and now
I'm thirsty for Coke
Three dollar sodas
Are made with too much syrup
Now I need water
I have been in line
Waiting for this gotdanged ride
Forever it seems
The Tiki Room song
Plays in my head forever
I will go insane
Its a small small world
Instead of tiki room song
I must kill myself
Mowgli and Snow White
Well you know how nature is
She's not so white now
The dwarves are angry
Mowgli is trying to hide
In the pirates ride
I so enjoy
The chocolate covered ants
Oops I just ate Flick
The Toon Town Trolley
The late night debauchery
You get the picture
Dopey elected
President of The U.S.
I am not joking

From a headline on Fox News;
The upside to this? (as if there is a downside....well, there is a downside, for meheecoh, but it is simply chickens coming home to roost, a taste of their own medicine, karmic retribution and a big fat Nelson Muntz "HA-HAA" with a cherry on top and a bowl of smug satisfaction on the side.)
From the Tuscon Citizen:
Don't forget about the kids they'll be towing along. To the state of Sonora I say too bad. You sure didn't worry about those conditions happening TO us when you sent your people north, so don't expect an ounce of sympathy from me or mine when they come home and do the exact same thing to you they did to us. Turn about and all that.
See? Part of the problem here (aside from the fact that meheecoh has no public welfare or medical coverage, is that meheecoh is a notoriously and historically corrupt CULTURE, which fully expects and accepts corruption in it's people and willingly pay bribes to cops, elected officials and bureaucrats to get by in life.
We, as a country, cannot change that by opening our borders and giving away the farm. The citizens of meheecoh (and I will spell it correctly when they have a majority of literate meheecan citizens) must reform their own country, and the only thing we can do until they do is secure the border and keep the ignorant people out of our country. We already have enough people that can't read that can dig ditches, thank you, we don't need more of them that can't even communicate with us.
This goes hand in hand, at the end of the day, with the islamic problem. We cannot fix islam, it is up to muslims to do that for themselves, adn until they do the only thing we can do is defend against them and kill them where need be while telling the mythical moderates to step up and fix it or join their brethren.
And that's the long and short of it....no PC...no BS....we can't fix everything, and until the folks causing the problems step up and start working on it too we can't waste precious resources tossing good money after bad hoping they'll see the light.
Comprende, Dude?
Illegals Begin Leaving Arizona as New Law Approaches
AGIA PRIETA, Mexico — For the first time, Mexican officials in Arizona admit there is hard evidence illegal immigrants are preparing to leave the state because a new employer sanctions law is making it difficult, if not impossible, for them to keep a job.
Illegal immigrants are flooding the Mexican consulate in Phoenix for documents that will allow them to return to Mexico to enroll their children in school, the consul to Arizona, Carlos Flores Vizcarra, told FOX News.
The upside to this? (as if there is a downside....well, there is a downside, for meheecoh, but it is simply chickens coming home to roost, a taste of their own medicine, karmic retribution and a big fat Nelson Muntz "HA-HAA" with a cherry on top and a bowl of smug satisfaction on the side.)
From the Tuscon Citizen:
Sonoran officials slam sanctions law in Tucson visit
A delegation of nine state legislators from Sonora was in Tucson on Tuesday to say Arizona's new employer sanctions law will have a devastating effect on the Mexican state.
At a news conference, the legislators said Sonora - Arizona's southern neighbor, made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers here return to their hometowns without jobs or money.
Don't forget about the kids they'll be towing along. To the state of Sonora I say too bad. You sure didn't worry about those conditions happening TO us when you sent your people north, so don't expect an ounce of sympathy from me or mine when they come home and do the exact same thing to you they did to us.

Comprende, Dude?
I got me some hardcore nerdcore hip hop playing in my headphones while I sit here thoroughly disgusted, discombobulated, offended, outraged, repulsed and in a low down dirty dark assed funk akin to what must run through a liberals mind 24-7 once they realize they are a hypocritical cowardly excuse of a human being for holding the views they hold.
Why?
Because I have watched, in my short politically active life (20 years) my party, the party of conservatives slide downhill, especially quickly since Sir Spend A Lot and his Knights of the Bottomless Trough got into the White House in 2000.
Now, 9-11 gave us an influx of neocons, former liberals and libertarians, who are strong on national defense and precious little else that resembles conservatism, and having stepped into our party, unwittingly colluding with a media that is decidedly unfriendly to conservatives have given us a man that has, as so many tout, "a lifetime conservative ranking of 86%" as a possible candidate for president. What so many fail to look at is if you take out his Reagan years (when conservatism was the crack of the day and everybody was hitting the pipe) and recent ratings his rating drops to 50%.
I say possible presidential candidate because I hold out hope, however faint, that Juan "Come on een senor" McCains' mother ship will return and take him home before the national convention in September. Now that my choice, Fred Thompson, has gone and endorsed Juan for president I am foot stomping mad, and disillusioned (and glad I haven't framed that pic of Fred and I and hung it in a place of honor) with all this talk of unifying the party and getting behind our nominee because he beats the hell out of the other side I must call utter bullshit and toss a flag on this play.
Hell yeah he beats the hell out of the other side, but you know what?
FUCK YOU!!!!! So does a can of spam.....and do we really want a president that equates to spam?
You bastards out there wanna watch american fucking idol with religious zeal and not pay two cents worth of attention to the people who are wanting to run this country and get all your info from news bites? Fine. You're making your bed, you can lie in it, it's just too damned bad that I will have to sleep here too.
Sure, folks are saying we can't let the left get in because they'll enact socialism that we can't ever back away from, and they'll lose the war on terrorism and choosing the lesser of two evils is better than losing the war and everything we stand for, and I understand that viewpoint, but I say we've lost what we stand for but not standing for a conservative candidate.
Funny how now that it looks as if Juan is gonna get the nod that so many people are saying well he's really is pretty conservative after all, and sure, compared to the left most anything appears "more conservative" but juan supported amnesty (a fact I won't forget nor believe him when he says he changed his stance, he's a lying politician, and I wouldn't believe him if he told me I was a short pissed off conservative blogger with a coffee addiction and a mouth like a sailor---which I very much am) he supported curtailing free speech with regards to elections, he fought against Bush's tax cuts, even though now he claims to want to make them permanent.
If, by some stretch juan wins the White House, mark my words, those tax cuts will be gone. He'll have a blue congress to work with, and he has a history of chumming up to our rivals while sticking his finger in our eye.
True conservatives have been shunted to the side, and I see too many of my idealogical brethren rushing to support juan out of fear of the left, which is understandable but appears cowardly and shortsighted to me. The next president will be a four year president.
Allow me to explain;
If McCain wins, he keeps the war going, good for us, bad for the islamists, probably good for the dems, because face it, we aren't gonna win the GWOT in the next four years, and it's going to continue to cost us big and the Dems will play to that in 2012. Juan will not pass universal healthcare, a good thing, but yet another issue the dems will beat us to death on. He also will not "fix" social security which is just one more thing the left can beat us to death on. They don't actually have any plans to fix anything either, but as anyone can see empty rhetoric and hopeful language is getting them pretty far. Add the fact that Juan WILL push amnesty and will NOT secure the border, and may get the damned thing passed and the dems have millions of new voters.
Result? Dems win in 2012.
If Obama or hillary win they pull out the troops, Al-Q declares victory over the great satan, recruitment goes up, terrorist attacks increase and shit goes to hell in a hand basket. (The good thing about this is the GOP can rightfully place all the blame on the person signing the order to cut and run) Both will probably also go right at the universal healthcare, creating huge new tax liabilities (funded from where is beyond any thinking persons ability to discover, but as I have pointed out our citizenry have ceased thinking and are simply going with "who can give me what I want to hear in the quickest soundbite and make me feel good for supporting them and feeling like a good person, never mind the fact that a close examination of my positions shows them to be hollow and unworkable, they make me feel good and that's all that matters in todays' world."
A dem White House, with all of the new programs they wish to enact, funded in part, BTW, from "obscene oil profits and windfall wall street profits" will destroy our economy, as in a global economy the folks with the money will send it to where it can do them the most good, investment wise, and when your money is being taxed to death in market one you move to market two.
So if a dem wins in November they WILL stomp on the economy, raise taxes, enlarge government and drag our military through the mud and put us in a very dangerous and precarious position, most likely costing us many more American lives in terror attacks here at home.
Result? That depends on our countrymen doesn't it? If the dems screw up the country as they are wont to do (and they WILL) AND the electorate actually realizes it and wakes up AND we find an actual conservative, not a conservative of convenience and good moods, AND we run on a platform of CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES (Strong national defense, including secure borders and no reward for law breakers, lower taxes, smaller government etc etc you know what they are) then we CAN win the White House, and keep it for years, IF WE DESERVE TO LEAD!!!!!
If we keep trying to act like democrats we get what we deserve and I don't want any part of that party.
In the meantime we support local, county, state and federal campaigns of CONSERVATIVES and tell the GOP when they call for money to KYA until they figure out that an influx of 9-11 neocons notwithstanding this is STILL the party of CONSERVATIVES and as long as they are becking moderates and traitors they may as well call the kos kids for money.
Now I know you're saying "Dude, you're nuts, we can't let the left win, it's too critical right now with iraq."
I agree with you that Iraq is critical.
But I also believe that we aren't dead yet. American Exceptionalism is still there, in the undercurrent of our national character. It is flowing through the veins of most every one of us, even many of those on the left, but it has been buried by years of peace and prosperity and I firmly believe that only in adversity do we truly shine, overcoming tremendous odds to win the day, setting once again that example of a freedom loving people who, when thrown to the ground get up with a grimace and a glare and kick the ever loving shit out of the evil that constantly knocks on the gates of the city.
Our enemies are within AND without, and only be defeating our enemies within can we have the freedom to defeat those enemies at the gates, and if the only way to defeat them is to let them have free rein to show their true colors, setting us in a position of danger, then we must do it.
Sometimes one must amputate a limb to save the body.
The only way to win this war and save the republic, I fear, is to let something fester until it shows itself and we can cut it out.
Please pass the scalpel.

A plea from Tom Burnett Sr. to the wonderful people of Somerset
(The ad copy below is running in tomorrow’s Somerset Daily American.)
My son Tom confronted a terrible moment of truth. Faced with a plot against our nation, he and the other heroes of Flight 93 fought back, and at the cost of their lives, foiled that plot to destroy the White House or the Capitol. Now it is time for the rest of us to face our moment of truth. Flight 93 has been re-hijacked, and I am requesting that if you can, you go down to the public meeting of the Memorial Project at Somerset Courthouse Saturday, sign up to comment at the end, and demand that a proper investigation be conducted.
THIS was no accident:
The Memorial Project held an open design competition in time of war, in-
viting the entire world to enter. Guess who joined in? That group of trees that sits roughly in the position of the star on an Islamic flag is the crash site. Who do YOU think is being memorialized here?
A second Islamic feature that I also protested when I served on the Stage II jury is the minaret-like Tower of Voices, formed in the shape of a crescent, with its top cut at an angle so that its crescent arms reach up into the sky.
Upturned crescents are a standard mosque adornment in many Muslim countries.
Every iota of this original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the so-called “redesign.” That is why Congressman Tancredo asked the Park Service this autumn to scrap the existing design entirely. Instead of getting rid of the giant crescent as Tancredo demanded back in 2005, architect Paul Murdoch only disguised it with a few surrounding trees.
Also remaining are those damned 44 glass blocks on the flight path. (There were forty passengers and crew and four Islamic terrorists on Flight 93.) The Memorial Project acknowledges the 40 blocks inscribed with the names of my son and the other heroes, and they acknowledge the three inscribed with the 9/11 date, but they pretend not to know about this one: the huge glass block that dedicates the entire site.
When this 44th glass block is pointed out, Project Partners say that it can’t be counted with the other blocks because it is not the same size. What? Because the capstone to the terrorist memorializing block count is magnificent, that is supposed to make it okay?
For every Islamic or terrorist memorializing feature of the crescent design, the Park Service has another equally phony excuse. Please read the exposé below of the Park Service’s fraudulent investigation, and please come to the meeting on Saturday to demand state and Congressional investigations into the Flight 93 memorial.

The crescent-topped tower
Not all of the Islamic symbolism in the Flight 93 memorial is hidden. One of the things that Tom Burnett Sr. protested from the beginning was the overtly minaret-like Tower of Voices. The Tower is formed in the shape of an extruded crescent, and even has its top but at an angle so that its crescent arms reach up into the sky, similar to the upturned crescent motif seen atop minarets all over the world:
Up tower view (left) shows the Tower of Voices to be formed in the shape of an Islamic crescent, covering about 2/3rds of a circle of arc, with a circular inner arc. The top of the tower is cut at an angle (right) so that the crescent arms reach up into the sky.
This sky-reaching crescent is a standard mosque motif, seen from the Abdul Gaffoor mosque in Singapore:
... to Your Black Muslim Bakery in Oakland:
... to the Uppsala mosque in Sweden:
There is no way that the Islamic shaped crescent atop architect Paul Murdoch's minaret-like tower is an accident, any more than THIS could possibly be an accident:
That's before you even get to the hidden stuff, like the Mecca orientation of the giant crescent; the 9/11 date placed in the exact position of the star on an Islamic crescent and star flag; or the fact that the Tower of Voices turns out to be a year round accurate Islamic prayer-time sundial:
Every particle of the original Crescent of Embrace design remains completely intact in the Bowl of Embrace redesign, which only disguised the original crescent with a few irrelevant trees.
That Islamic crescent reaching up into the sky is completely undisguised. How can anyone abide this?

I just received this breaking news alert in my email;
WHAT??
I can't believe these kids are trapped. Where are the authorities? I propose the government send in troops RIGHT NOW to save these children immediately and capture the cretins that are holding them hostage.
What kind of country are we running here when kids are held in schools like they are some kind of terrorist at Gitmo?
WASHINGTON (AP) The White House says that President Bush is expected to propose a $300 million initiative to help children trapped in struggling inner-city public schools.
WHAT??
I can't believe these kids are trapped. Where are the authorities? I propose the government send in troops RIGHT NOW to save these children immediately and capture the cretins that are holding them hostage.

I am going to go ahead at do what so many in the right hand side of the blogosphere are not doing right now and post the Larry Sinclair video where he is claiming he had homosexual sex with Barack Obama in his limo after doing coke in 1999.
Jeff Rense, a well known conspiracy theorist show host had Larry on his show recently, and you can hear the replay of the show.here.
I don't know if the allegations are true or not, and I imagine if they aren't then Mr. Sinclair will soon find himself embroiled in legal wranglings that may very well bankrupt him, if, that is he has any assets to go after.
There is some thought that this may be a hit piece from the Clinton Campaign Machine, and boyo would THAT be a bombshell of a story, and with all the things the Clintons have been involved in I wouldn't put anything past them. If it is a hit from the Clintonistas, what have they offered Mr. Sinclair, or probably more to the truth of the matter, what do they have on Mr. Sinclair that would make him open himself up to such legal ramifications like this?
Either way I am simply going to let you decide if this is an actual issue, or a smear piece by an ever more desperate campaign of criminally minded "public servants" that see a long planned return to the White House thwarted by an inexperienced Senator with a great skill at orating and a public hungry to hear the empty but promising platitudes he spews at every opportunity.
One last note; Funny how this thing came out just as South Carolina was ramping up.

With the end of Fred Thompson's campaign for President many conservatives are disheartened with this years election cycles, feeling as if they have suddenly been cast adrift in an ocean of liberal insanity, and in fact, that pretty much have been.
The list of candidates on the right are, quite simply, not conservatives, at least, not in any honest sense of the word. Oh sure, they pass the conservative sniff test on this issue or that one, but start sniffing around too much and this bunch stinks to high heaven.
I won't go into all of the gory details on this bunch, they are well known to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention, unfortunately that seems to be a small number of people these days, so if you are reading this and don't know the drawbacks of the current crop of GOP hopefuls go do some research and see why the GOP is S.O.L this year.
I am not sure if this is the doing of Bush and his merry band of over spenders, or if an influx of "Neocons" (post 9-11 conservatives) had a hand in the current direction of the party, but I do know that the media coverage, favorable of the GOP open borders champion, Juan, "Come on een senor" McCain, hasn't helped.
So what happens if McCain gets the nomination? Enough conservatives are out there refusing to vote for mccain to make a Dem victory almost a given, and if that happens the dem in office will almost certainly get some sort of amnesty passed, giving the left 20 million + new voters by the time twenty twelve rolls around, pretty much assuring the republicans won't win a majority of elections for who knows how long, unless the dem in office is such a useless twit that they screw everything up beyond recognition, which is a real possibility.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that hillary becomes our next president. Regardless of what has been said, hillary is NOT going to drag our troops home with one fell swoop of her presidential pen on opening day, no matter what her nutroot base demands, and that is because the moment she does (or obama if he gets the win) Al-Q claims a victory over the great satan, recruitment goes into over drive, terror attacks go up due to a reinvigorated jihadist movement and the GOP can rightfully say that the Dems handed us a less safe world and a defeat on the field of battle.
And if there is one thing an American won't stand for it's defeat.
So if the Dems win the White House expect them to anger their nutroot base by not surrendering as a first move in office, losing support over the course of four years. Do expect them to open the border. Do expect them to raise taxes and increase entitlement programs. Do expect them to cut down the military and not go after our enemies.
And what happens if Juan "Come on een senor" McCain gets in? Don't expect him to secure the border either. I knwo he has said he would, but so did the asshats in congress that passed a bill about building a wall....yeah that's happening huh? Just because they say they're gonna do it doesn't mean it's gonna be. I do see McCain doing good for the military and fighting the war on terror, but why lock the front door and leave the back one open?
So what if romney wins? Dunno......and as for should he win that's an entirely different question.
Bush and the majority of congress had years to do the right thing. They didn't.....they spent money like drunken sailors on leave, in copious amounts that will only be eclipsed the the Dems during the next four years if they win in November. Frankly, right now, we do not deserve to lead, if you go by Bush's record, and what else can you go on? The GOP has tossed crap at us, and stood by their current batch of spendalots, and frankly they look as if they are happy with the status quo and not looking to change the direction of the party.
Maybe, JUST MAYBE, what they really need is a kick in the ass and four years to lick their wounds. Oh six taught them nothing...they seem to believe that the threat of the Dems swamping us with even more socialist programs and amnesty is enough for us to vote for folks the likes of mccain, huck and St. Rudylicious of the Perpetual Mistress, but I am hearing in discussions I am having with conservatives across the country that the GOP needs a wake up call and we, conservatives, can fix any problem tossed at us, so let hillary have the white house because she'll screw it up so badly that she very well could lose the Dems so much support in four short years that the Republicans could get their majority back.
What'd I'd like to see is Romney.....at least with romney we are in a holding pattern, power wise, and maybe at that point we can try to rebuild the trust we have lost under Sir Spendalot, but if that is the way the cookie crumbles it will be one hell of a fight for us to do so. If anyone of those other yo-yo's get in we may have, at that point, handed the country to a big government adherent anyway, and it won't matter if the CIC had an R or a D, because at the end of the day we still get a bigger government that is more intrusive and money hungry than before.
If anyone but romney is our candidate please pull the lever for whoever the Dems put up....if we're gonna hand this country over to a big government statist, I'd rather that person has a D after their name, because if they don't then conservatism won't be dead, it will have been killed by cowardly traitors who thought it better to surrender principles in a quest to win an election than actually act like the conservatives they claimed to be.

I am going, I have decided, to back Fred for President.
He is well known to the people in this country, having starred in a long running TV series.
He is a stable family man with a well documented belief in hard work.
And I even believe the one "scandal" that surrounds his name is bogus, created by an ad agency to sell, of all things, insurance.
Folks, I am backing fred Flintstone for President.
I hope you will join me.

The guy in the picture to the left is
GOING TO JAIL!!!!!!!!
So my friend Raymond Herrera, a Minuteman and MMP National Rally Spokesman and apparently a celebrity on Spanish Language TV was at a flag rally in Rancho Cucamonga when a man circled the block a couple of times. He pulled up and used profanity and then said to Raymond, in a calm and cool voice, "I am going to have you killed. I will have you parted from this world."
Raymond called the police and reported the incident. Luckily the folks at the rally had the presence of mind to snap pics and got the license plate number.
The upshot is that Raymond got an email from the investigating officer and the man making the threat has been identified. Raymond plans on pursuing this to the fullest extent of the law. The reason I am posting this is because I hope the guy or someone that knows him sees it and can show him that HE IS GOING TO JAIL!!!!
HAHA, HEE HEE, SUP NOW BEATCH?? You threatened one of the most hard working patriots I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, and now you're gonna find out that THIS nation is a nation of laws. I am also betting this guy is an illegal alien.
More on this as it develops.
This is a response to Fred being labeled toxic; located here because apparently this user doesn’t want the lies exposed.
We’ll take these points one by one and I will show you why Fred’s positions he has taken are the correct choices for America.
Voted against women in the military having access to
abortion services.
Voted against stem cell research.
He is against reproductive rights for women and men?
Voted that hate crime legislation should not include sexual orientation.
Voted against using 10% of highway funds for women and minorities.
Voted against government support of women and minority business owners.
Voted against same sex marriages.
Voted no on prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Voted yes on amendment to prohibit flag burning.
Voted NO on 1.5 billion a year to continue the COPS program.
Voted yes on limiting death penalty appeals.
Voted yes on limiting product liability punitive damages awards.
Voted yes in restricting class action lawsuits.
He denies global warming.
Voted yes on defunding renewable and solar energy.
Voted yes on approving a nuclear waste repository.
Voted No on allowing the reimportation of drugs from Canada.
This is a patent LIE!!!!
Voted NO on allowing patients to sue HMO’s and collect punitive damages.
Another damned lie.
Voted no on including prescription drugs under Medicare.
AND YET ANOTHER DAMNED LIE!!! I am on medicare and have prescription drug coverage.
Here’s the truth;
Voted yes on killing an increase in the minimum wage.
Voted no on reducing marriage penalty instead of cutting top tax rates.
He has said he will do essentially what the current president is doing in Iraq.
Voted yes on authorizing use of force against iraq.
In short, Fred Thompson is a Conservative, and all that goes along with it. I defy you to show me one other person, that is electable, running for the nomination on the Republican ticket that outshines Fred Thompson as a conservative.
You won't be able to do it. If we, as a party, don't back a true conservative candidate, we will lose the White House in Oh Eight....bank on that my friends.....a vote for anyone but Fred Thompson is a vote for socialism.
Let Freedom Ring, Vote For Fred Thompson for President.
We’ll take these points one by one and I will show you why Fred’s positions he has taken are the correct choices for America.
Voted against women in the military having access to
abortion services.
Of course he did. First off women in the military should NOT be getting pregnant. They signed up for a set amount of time to serve, and they should honor that contract and worry about having kids after they get out.
Voted against stem cell research.
Of course he did. If stem cell research is so promising let private industry finance it and make a profit from they work. It is not the role of government to finance research that could very well be done by private industry.
He is against reproductive rights for women and men?
I don’t even know where that came from. Maybe from the fact that he believes that abortion is a states rights issue. While we are on the subject of reproductive rights for men, what about the fact that if a woman gets pregnant she can choose to keep the baby, making the man liable for his share of expenses even if he didn’t want a kid, but she cal also choose to abort that child, even if the man wants it?
Voted that hate crime legislation should not include sexual orientation.
Of course he did….hate crime laws are stupid. ALL crime is a hate crime. Ever heard of a love crime? Me neither. I have heard of crimes of passion, but what kind of love is involved when you hurt or kill the one you love?
Voted against using 10% of highway funds for women and minorities.
Of course he did. Those funds are supposed to be FOR THE HIGHWAYS!!!
Voted against government support of women and minority business owners.
Of course he did. That smacks of socialism. The governments job is not to artificially prop up business owners based on some arbitrary class designation.
Voted against same sex marriages.
Of course he did. This issue, like abortion, is a states right issue, one the federal government should not be involved in.
Voted no on prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Of course he did. Sexual orientation is a choice, and protecting a class of people who make a choice about how to live their life is wrong. We choose who to sleep with. Just like we choose whether or not to use illegal drugs.
Voted yes on amendment to prohibit flag burning.
Actually I don’t get this one….burning the flag as a political protest should be allowed…..but so should someone kicking your ass, solely as an act of counter protesting, for burning that flag.
Voted NO on 1.5 billion a year to continue the COPS program.
Of course he did. Local policing is NOT the responsibility of the federal government.
Voted yes on limiting death penalty appeals.
Of course he did. Murderers already get 20 years worth of appeals, and that is 20 years more than they gave their victims.
Voted yes on limiting product liability punitive damages awards.
Of course he did. Tort reform is desperately needed in this country. What do you think drives up the price of everything, especially healthcare? Insurance rates. Why are insurance rates going up? The high cost of lawsuits.
Voted yes in restricting class action lawsuits.
Of course he did. Again, tort reform is needed, and class action lawsuits only feed the beast.
He denies global warming.
NO, he denies MAD MADE global Warming. The alleged consensus on global warming is bogus, with a slew of actual planetary scientists disagreeing with al gore and his fellow schemers.
Voted yes on defunding renewable and solar energy.
Of course he did. It is not the federal governments place to fund an industry that should be doing its’ own R&D. Let private companies create these energy systems and profit from selling them.
Voted yes on approving a nuclear waste repository.
Of course he did. We have to put the waste somewhere. What’s funny is so many people that scream about alternative sources of energy are also the ones that deny us the use of nuclear. To let the envirowackos have their way would put us all in mud huts eating tofu and dressing in leaves.
Voted No on allowing the reimportation of drugs from Canada.
This is a patent LIE!!!!
He DID NOT. What he did vote on was S. 812, which states “The secretary of Health and Human Services would be authorized to announce regulations allowing pharmacists and wholesalers to import prescription drugs from Canada into the United States. Canadian pharmacies and wholesalers that provide drugs for importation would be required to register with Health and Human Services. Individuals would be allowed to import prescription drugs from Canada. The medication would have to be for an individual use and a supply of less than 90-days.”
Voted NO on allowing patients to sue HMO’s and collect punitive damages.
Another damned lie.
He voted to provide federal protections, such as access to specialty and emergency room care, and allow patients to sue health insurers in state and federal courts. Economic damages would not be capped, and punitive damages would be capped at $5 million.
Voted no on including prescription drugs under Medicare.
AND YET ANOTHER DAMNED LIE!!! I am on medicare and have prescription drug coverage.
Here’s the truth;
Vote to establish a prescription drug benefit program through the Medicare health insurance program. Among other provisions, Medicare would contribute at least 50% of the cost of prescription drugs and beneficiaries would pay a $250 deductible
Voted yes on killing an increase in the minimum wage.
Of course he did. The government has no right to dictate what I get paid for my job, unless they’re the ones offering the wage. If raising the minimum wage is so great for everyone, let’s raise it to $25.00 an hour and raise everyone out of poverty. You know why we don’t do that? Because then a cheeseburger would be 25 bux. If government has the right to regulate what minimum wage is, why don’t they sue Google’s founders for only paying themselves a dollar a year?
Voted no on reducing marriage penalty instead of cutting top tax rates.
Of course he did. What’s going to spur investment into the economy that creates jobs better? Letting dick and jane pay a bit less taxes or giving a cut to the people that create businesses and hire people?
He has said he will do essentially what the current president is doing in Iraq.
Of course he did. Because the current president is kicking ass and taking names and understand that running off before the job is done is called defeat. And only our enemies or a traitor calls for our defeat on the field of battle.
Voted yes on authorizing use of force against iraq.
Yeppers he sure did….so did hillary Clinton and everyone else that had the same info from that President Bush had on Iraq.
In short, Fred Thompson is a Conservative, and all that goes along with it. I defy you to show me one other person, that is electable, running for the nomination on the Republican ticket that outshines Fred Thompson as a conservative.
You won't be able to do it. If we, as a party, don't back a true conservative candidate, we will lose the White House in Oh Eight....bank on that my friends.....a vote for anyone but Fred Thompson is a vote for socialism.
Let Freedom Ring, Vote For Fred Thompson for President.
