MY Story of stuff...

Speaking of the "story of stuff," here's some stuff to ponder. Of all the stories being passed along on the planet Earth, how many are true? How many are agenda driven? The book "the story of stuff" was intended to replace books like the Bible, The Koran and writings such as the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution. Could someone please tell me how people who fart every time they speak could pull of replacing some of the most influential writings in Human history? Had I written"the Story of Stuff" I would not have bit off more than I could chew, or try to convince the world that breathing will destroy the Planet. My "Story of stuff" would probably just give my perspective on stuff. For instance.. the "green" movement is almost the pinnacle of human hipocrisy. It the only think I find more hipocritical than "green" is the notion that the USA is still the "land of the free." It is now the land of the free handouts for those that do nothing. We also have a fundamentally transformed "justice" system. the only rule is it's "just us" that should apologize to and pay for everything any non-American citizen thinks they deserve. It is ironic that little Al Gore's rise in politics was financed through illegal strip mining permits big daddy Gore gave to his pals in the pre 1970s Tennessee political "good ol' boys" mafia. Ask Fred Thompson who as a young prosecutor brought that group down. There was not enough evidence to prosecute little Al. Ironically, as the Goracle has made billions making crap movies, writing idiotic books, propagandizing the kids in the "green Hitler youth movement" and jetsets in his Gulfstream G3 (i think) around the world trying to tell people to sacrifice their livelihoods to save the planet, the ecosystem in parts of Tennessee is just now recovering from the Goracle family's exploitation. Now the good folks in Arizona have decided that they want their State and our Nation back and most Americans agree. The idea of restoring law and order and having a society free of kidnapping and human or drug trafficking is lunacy. For that we are "teabagging" racist nazis. Speaking of bags, I hope WE THE PEOPLE keep making those incumbent lifetime politicians who made this mess pack their bags (tea or otherwise) and join the masses in the unemployment lines. Then maybe they might have a different attitude about illegals taking jobs, sucking the economy dry and making things like driving far more dangerous and standing in line at the store take far longer. Now Calderone, the mexican drug cartel leader stands before a combined IQ of .0083 on Crapitol Hill and says we have no right to close our border...while anyone crossing into the failed state formerly known as Mexico is either jailed or shot. Of course, our immigration policy is a big fat joke...just like the guy we are told is the president is an illegal alien and should be deported, and his big fat wookie wife is not exactly native either (to Earth that is). Think about it; Chewbacca Obama looks like something that should be kept at Area 51 in Roswell NM instead of the White House, right? It's no wonder Mr. Karzai the leader of Afganistan is saying he's going to join the Taliban, after all BHO is a card carryng member himself and Karzai wants to stay on "our" good side. The biggest shame of it all is the White House chefs spend more time cooking crack cocaine than cooking food. So you go right on thinking we are the "land of the free" and I will sell you a mexican glacier for a dollar (or 3 billion pesos). The real question here is "am I joking or am I serious?"

Challenge to liberals: Find a racist tea party sign!!!!

Right now, the anti-liberty crowd in DC and in the media is running a smear campaign claiming that the pro-liberty (Tea Party) movement is racist, violent, they are comparing us to Nazis, claiming that protest attendees used racial slurs against and spit on members of the "black Congressional Carcass"..I mean "Caucus," sorry, I get words confused sometimes. So, I challenge any liberal reading this to dig through all the photos of tea party protests and rallies and find me a racist sign. Find pro-neo-Nazi signage within the tea party events. I don't think you can and here's why: The Tea Party movement is not racist by nature. We, unlike the despot claiming to be President are not fascists. We unlike those in the media and the education system are not neo-bolsheviks hellbent on destroying the American way of life. So, prove me wrong. There is plenty of footage and photos from Tea Party rallies available to look through but just to make it easy, I will give you some never before seen photos from the big rally on 9/12 in DC. When I was there photographing for this blog, I put a strong emphasis on photographing signage as it shows what issues matter most to those who are protesting. So here's some photos, and if any of you find such signage from another source you can click the link to e-mail me and send me the photo along with info as to location and date of event and I will post the photo here along with an apology for what I would consider reprehensible behavior. You libs would love to prove a conservative wrong, right? Well. here's your chance. Here are some to check as I will pick at random 10 photos from 9/12 to make it easier on you so prove me wrong as I say you cant find any racist signage whatsoever....

Jack Goodman: Candidate for Congress Missouri's 7th Congressional District

Via BBCW: March 2010

[Snip]One of the challenges for Goodman as a candidate in the Seventh District race is the fact he is one of two men considered to be a politician in a year when anger is directed at the politicians. When I met Mr. Goodman for lunch today and an interview, he comes across as more of a citizen legislator than career politician.

Goodman points out he has always fought for the people of his district. He took on the House speaker over unfair zoning laws. He believes Southwest Missouri needs to look at his experience as a positive and proof he will fight for the the vision our founding fathers established in the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. …read the rest of the BBCW post here

So let’s look at Goodman on the issues…and compare them to My Positions

Life

Jack is pro-life. He strongly believes in protecting life at all stages, especially those who cannot defend themselves…  

Federal Budget

Federal spending is out of control…. Jack’s record proves he believes in and will vote for limited government and lower taxes.

Spending our way out of this current economic situation is not feasible…Jack … believes conservatives must pursue a definite course and not simply be just a little less liberal than the liberals.

Earmarks

Jack believes the federal appropriation process is terribly broken and must be reformed. Not only does the process lack the accountability and transparency the American people deserve, it promotes the vulgar spending of taxpayer money that his given Washington its lousy reputation. Jack proposes a moratorium on earmarks and will call on ALL members of congress and candidates to do the same until real reform can be implemented in the system. [sounds nice…won’t ever happen, this is all a little pie in the sky, but ideologically sound in pricinple]

Second Amendment

Jack is a strong supporter of the Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment. Jack was instrumental in helping to pass Missouri’s concealed carry law. He also wrote and sponsored Missouri’s version of the Castle Doctrine, which allows homeowners to fully protect themselves against unlawful intruders. Jack is a proud member of the NRA with an A+ rating. Jack believes there should be no further encroachment on our right to keep and bear arms.

National Security

Unfortunately, we live in a dangerous world. We cannot make friends with those who have sworn to kill us. Jack will fight to provide all necessary resources to the men and women of our armed forces who lay their lives on the line everyday to protect the American way of life against terrorists and other threats. [No real position given on the wars]

Securing the Border and Immigration

There are many good people around the world who would like to enter our country legally and follow our rules. Jack welcomes all people who want to legally, productively become a part of the greatness of America.
Those who enter the country illegally should not be rewarded for breaking the law. Jack is opposed to amnesty. He will fight for additional funding for border security and training for border patrol agents.

Energy Independence

Energy policy is a national priority. …Congress must open up domestic supplies of energy to exploration and encourage next generation coal, nuclear, wind, hydroelectric power and other energy sources if we are to reduce dependence on foreign oil. .

Healthcare

Jack believes there is a general consensus on the principles that Americans are looking for in any health care reform proposal: affordability, accessibility, choice, and quality. He strongly believes that putting individuals, families, and doctors, not the government, in control of the healthcare system is the key to success.

Education

Jack supports returning control of our children's education to those who understand their needs the best - parents and our local educators. Family Values

Seems like he talks the talk.  Curious to see what else we learn about him.

MO-7 Candidate Michael Wardell Issues Press Release

Congressional Candidate Michael Wardell running for Missouri's Seventh District Congressional Seat that Roy Blunt currently holds issued the following statement:

 

“Over the past several days, a report has surfaced that has shaken the very foundation of our District, our Liberty, and our Party and has embarrassed my fellow Conservatives. A candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives should be an example of leadership, Integrity and Character for the community regardless of party affiliation.

We Republicans have railed against the Democrats for their backroom deals, Louisiana Purchases and Nebraska buyouts, and yet one of our own who professes to be the citizen that should go to Washington D.C. believes that those rules only apply to others.

According to blogger Bungalow Bill, who writes Bungalow Bill’s Conservative Wisdom and Billy Long is Wrong, on Tuesday the 2nd of March, Mr. Long attempted to stifle free speech, and buy the bloggers silence. The two met for coffee and the rest, they say, is history. 

This is not the kind of representation we need in the 7th Congressional district, and if confirmed Mr. Long should step down from the race. If Mr. Long is able to weather this lapse in ethical behavior and make it to the general election, his opponent will charge in with bayonets fixed and firing, and the seat could be lost.  I’m not willing to accept that.”

Billy Long is Wrong

Billy Long is Wrong: With Regret: Discovering the Ugly Side of Politics on a Personal Level Below is a repost from our good friend Clay’s, the purveyor of BBCW, other website covering Billy Long.  Billy Long is a candidate in the Mo-7 race for Roy Blunt’s soon to be vacated seat. This race is shaping up to be HOTLY contested.  Billy Long has been a front runner in the race…up until this latest shenanigan (hopefully).  Billy Long is a wealthy businessman who plays the “Aw Shucks good ol’ boy” but  he appears to be as “crooked as a sidewinder”   Or  “Crooked as a Dog’s Hind Leg”…or for those of our readers not from the south that would be… “unethical”. 

Clay was feeling sort of mean spirited because of his pretty astringent coverage of Billy Long’s campaign so far, he was just about to extend an olive branch…when BLAM! all of Clay’s suspicions and suppositions turn out to be SPOT ON regarding the W.I.Q., that would be Weasel In Question, Billy Long; who has aspirations of joining all the other “ethically challenged” Weasels in the District of Criminals.

The fact is, Billy Long proved he is WRONG for the position of representing us. Billy Long is Wrong For Missouri.  Billy Long proved he is unethical.  Read the post below and you will understand why; the days where you can Bribe, Blackmail, Extort, and generally Payola your way to office are OVER if we of the Pro-Liberty Coalition have anything to say about it…

In case your were wondering I repeated Billy Long’s name several times in this post to get the Search Engines to crawl this hot breaking Billy Long News faster about how Billy Long is Wrong for Missouri, and how Billy Long is Unethical, and How Billy Long has no business in Washington. I also want to mention that if things work out I will be in Ozark tomorrow night and will hopefully be able to report how Billy Long is a Weasel, Billy Long, Billy Long, Billy Long…

With Regret: Discovering the Ugly Side of Politics on a Personal Level

When I decided to challenge Billy Long’s candidacy for Congress, I hoped that I could encourage the debate of the important issues that face our country and our lives with a focus on the preservation of our Constitution. I saw the massive amounts of money Mr. Long was collecting and feared money would be the deciding factor in this election. As someone concerned for the future of our great Republic, I hoped for better.
This is the reason I decided to challenge Mr. Long. Even if he won the primary, I knew Southwest Missouri would be better off because of the push for a real debate to bring out the best candidate. I never intended this to be a witch hunt. I have spent many hours listening to what Billy Long was saying, and I grew more concerned over his candidacy.
It should be no surprise the Web site ‘LongisWrong.com” was having an impact in the way his campaign was run and possibly the shaping of the race in August. It was my wish to bring about an issues focused campaign that looked beyond the free t-shirts and bumper stickers at the meet-and-greets and the high tech billboards along Southwest Missouri roadways with Mr. Long’s campaign colors. With lots of regret, we may never dive into this seventh district race with a push for the real issues to be addressed.
After seeking counsel through friends, family, religious leaders, and journalists, and considering all the factors that may affect the lives of many people, I have decided to come forward in hopes that my actions will return ethics to Southwest Missouri politics and possibly politics in Washington as well.
I attended the Joplin Federated Republican Women’s meeting on March 2, 2010 at Pizza by Stout. The featured speakers of the event were candidates running for Missouri’s Seventh Congressional District seat now filled by Roy Blunt. After the meeting was over, Billy Long quickly approached me and asked me if I would be willing to sit down and discuss his campaign and my views of his candidacy over a cup of coffee.
While I will leave most of the details of the conversation off the record for now, I was surprised and disgusted by what took place towards the end of our conversation. My wife had just joined us after leaving the meeting room and sat down at our table, and I continued my conversation with Mr. Long listening to him react to the Long is Wrong Web site. I had raised some Constitutional concerns in our conversation about his candidacy, and I had pointed out a few of the great American tales that drive my passion for the Constitution. Mr. Long tells me he is impressed with my knowledge and that I would make a good addition to his own campaign. He asks me to consider it. He then tells me that if I stop doing what I am doing, referring to the Long is Wrong Web site, that I could have a position in his campaign.
I cut the conversation short after this, and as we got up to leave the table, Mr. Long once again invited me over, this time using a Star Wars reference asking me to join the ‘dark side’ (sic).
It is with great sadness that I discuss this today. All I hoped for was to raise the debate in Southwest Missouri to a higher level that directed our country in the right Constitutional direction. Instead, I am having the deal with what I feel is a bribe, to get me to remove the Long is Wrong Web site. This is not what I wanted to bring about in the seventh district. In fact, I have a heavy heart even discussing this as I was exposed to the dirty truth of politics in America today on a personal level by a man who claims a vote for him is a vote to send a citizen to Washington.
I wish I had never sat down and had coffee with him. I hate the position he has put me in, and I hate how this feels inside.
