Away we go!

For those who may be wondering, we are at the top of the roller coaster and about to go down the big hill to oblivion. America is going over the cliff of fiscal collapse, there was never any intention otherwise..  Think about it people, what better way to accomplish the draconian cuts in the military and defense spending than to allow the automatic and dramatic reductions to kick in.

The fact that so many Americans believe this charade to be posturing and party line bias are insane. Both parties know damn well what is about to happen and why, as they know the end result of allowing it to happen. The democrats are driving the bus off the cliff because the republicans never had the balls to. So the republicans will put up token resistance but in the end, everyone gets what they want, including our enemies. Or perhaps? Especially our enemies. Obama told Putin not to worry, that after the election things would be handled.

Well.....they are being handled....

With hours to go, President Obama and Congress barreled toward the New Year's Day “fiscal cliff,” trading last-minute offers and narrowing the range of options Sunday, but reaching no deal.
“There’s still significant distance between the two sides,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, announced Sunday evening, though he said there was still time to reach agreement by Monday’s midnight deadline. “We intend to continue negotiations.”
Talks were so broken at one point Sunday that the top Republican negotiator, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, bypassed Mr. Reid to speak directly with Vice President Joseph R. Biden.
The blockade seemed to lift somewhat when Republicans dropped their demand to change Social Security’s cost-of-living adjustment formula, and both sides traded offers on the income level at which taxpayers will see an income-tax rate increase and debated what other incentives would be included.
“You can’t win an argument that has Social Security for seniors versus taxes for the rich. So we need to take it off the table,” Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, said in explaining why the party decided to forgo demands for entitlement reform.

General Swartzkopf dead at 78

Rest in peace general, you are the closest thing this nation has had to a true commanding general since MacArthur and George Patton.  We sure don't have any now.

Retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, who topped an illustrious military career by commanding the U.S.-led international coalition that drove Saddam Hussein's forces out of Kuwait in 1991 but kept a low public profile in controversies over the second Gulf War against Iraq, died Thursday. He was 78.
Schwarzkopf died in Tampa, Florida, where he had lived in retirement, according to a U.S. official, who was not authorized to release the information publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

They are coming for everything

The democrats, led by Diane Feinstein are coming for everything firearm related. this bill proposes to not only coe after any weapon with a magazine capacity larger than ten rounds, but it also will supposedly 'grandfather' in all existing firearms at the time the law is adopted. "Provided those weapons are registered."

Registration is the holy grail of the anti gun factions in America and globally. they realize that registration is the last major step right before confiscation. The bottom line, the government doesn't know how many weapons exist in America or who they are owned by, but that all changes if this legislation passes. And just as assuredly that the sun comes up tomorrow, once registration of weapons is the law, it will be less than five years past that date before they come to get them.

Stopping the spread of deadly assault weapons

Stay informed

In January, Senator Feinstein will introduce a bill to stop the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition feeding devises.

The Obama shell game on Benghazi

Another example of the transparency of the Obama administration?  Never mind that Hillary Clinton dodged answering any questions on the Benghazi affair, or that she remains incognito since the first of last month. Disregard the fact that her soon to be replacement John Kerry is on the senate committee that gave her a full pass on testifying.

Here again is demonstrated the criminal complicit nature occurring between this administration and the media. The Obama administration offers up scapegoats for Benghazi and the media willingly swallows the story like like the lap dogs that they are. No one even cares to verify that what they have been told is true or not. No one seems to care that they were lied to or that the American people have been lied to.

Obama speaks.....case closed. Meanwhile the Obama shell game continues and the American people sit idly by and watch and do nothing. But the worst of it is that the media continues to be allowed to be complicit in their efforts to lie and cover for this president.

Benghazi penalties are bogus

The four officials supposedly out of jobs because of their blunders in the run-up to the deadly Benghazi terror attack remain on the State Department payroll — and will all be back to work soon, The Post has learned.
The highest-ranking official caught up in the scandal, Assistant Secretary of State Eric Boswell, has not “resigned” from government service, as officials said last week. He is just switching desks. And the other three are simply on administrative leave and are expected back.
The four were made out to be sacrificial lambs in the wake of a scathing report issued last week that found that the US compound in Benghazi, Libya, was left vulnerable to attack because of “grossly inadequate” security.

State Department leaders “didn’t come clean about Benghazi and now they’re not coming clean about these staff changes,” a source close to the situation told The Post., adding, the “public would be outraged over this.”

A great presence has passed from our midst

I learned this morning that someone I hold dear and with the utmost respect, has passed from this life on Christmas Eve. Charles Durning, the award winning actor of over sixty years, but more importantly, one of the survivors and heroes of the D Day Normandy invasion of WWII.

Most people never knew that about Charles Durning. They never knew that he was a Veteran of D Day, or that he was the only survivor of his unit that day. Nor did they know or realize that this unassuming man, was awarded the Silver Star and three Purple Hearts for his service to this nation.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him twice in my life, once in 1980 when he was in Atlanta filming a movie called Sharkie's Machine and nine years later, when he returned to do a made for television production.

Always a gentleman and always so personable with anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him and talking with him. A true giant among men and one of the last of a vanishing breed in Hollywood. I truly feel a personal void with the news of his death this morning, yet I feel as if I was given a unique opportunity to briefly meet one of God's true angels incarnate in this life when I was given he opportunity to me him.

Charles Durning is walking the streets of heaven this morning, probably reminiscing with all of those that he lost through the years. I know that he is at peace now and in the loving arms of our Lord and that is truly a comfort to me and the many thousands who came to know this giant of a man while his life was shared with us here on earth.

Rest in peace Charlie, you will always be loved and remembered by those of us who knew you.  Semper Fidelis old friend........

Charles Durning, 'king of character actors,' dies

LOS ANGELES — Charles Durning, the two-time Oscar nominee who was dubbed the king of the character actors for his skill in playing everything from a Nazi colonel to the pope, died Monday in New York City. He was 89.
Durning's longtime agent and friend Judith Moss told the Associated Press that he died of natural causes at his home in the borough of Manhattan.
"I was born a character actor," Durning told USA TODAY in 1990, when he starred as Big Daddy in a Broadway revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. "I was born looking older — and I've been aging since I was a teenager."

Cliff or no cliff, the economy could collapse January 1st

 

 Obviously it wasn't a lesson learned by the Hostess Bakeries collapse under union blackmail. The unions in this country are hell bent to force American industry to either leave the country, go out of business or file for bankruptcy. What is left for jobs then? Between Obama and his union thugs, they are systematically reducing America to a third rate nothing of a country, that in a generation, won't even be a tourist attraction to the new power elite of the wold

Businesses warn of 'coast wide port shutdown' as union strike looms

As if Superstorm Sandy and the looming fiscal crisis weren't enough, a potential strike by thousands of dock workers from Boston to Houston threatens to shock the economy as early as this weekend.
Business groups and state officials in recent days have called on President Obama to intervene, and use emergency powers to "avoid a coast wide port shutdown." They warn it could cost billions, citing estimates that a 10-day port lockout in 2002 cost $1 billion a day -- and caused a major backlog in shipments.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott is the latest to enter the fray and call for White House intervention. But a port strike would affect more than the East and Gulf coasts, where all these ports are located. It could choke supply chains across the country. Groups ranging from the automobile industry to the National Retail Federation to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the Cheese Importers Association of America are warning of dire consequences.
"Failure to reach an agreement resulting in a coast wide shutdown will have serious economy-wide impacts," those and dozens of other groups wrote to Obama last week. They said "just the threat of a shutdown" has forced many businesses to enact costly "contingency plans."
At issue is a labor dispute between the International Longshoremen's Association, which represents dock workers, and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents port operators and shipping companies.
Talks between the dock workers and the shipping companies broke down Dec. 18, just weeks after a critical West Coast port complex was crippled by a strike involving a few hundred workers.
Federal mediators have since called a meeting before the end of the week, in hopes of resolving the disagreement before the Dec. 29 expiration of the dock workers' latest contract extension.

Its not about the fiscal cliff, its about blackmail

 There is no sincere desire to negotiate with this president on his spending and desire to tax America more. There never has been, the entire comedy of conversation has been one disingenuous slight of mouth after the other.

Barack Obama knows that John Boehner is a panty waste and incapable of mustering any opposition to the president's plan, even in the GOP faithful.  

Barack Obama has in as much as told John Boehner to kiss his ass, as he intends to do what he pleases and in the end if the republicans don't go along with it, he will hang all the blame on the republican party.  

And you know what? The complicit American media will let him get away with it.

How 'Cliff' Talks Hit the Wall

At one point, according to notes taken by a participant, Mr. Boehner told the president, "I put $800 billion [in tax revenue] on the table. What do I get for that?"
"You get nothing," the president said. "I get that for free."
After the election, Boehner aides tried to shape the debate by offering early concessions, including that the GOP would agree to raise new tax revenue. A speech Mr. Boehner planned to give was rewritten 18 times and included input from top Republican leaders.

Is Boehner vulnerable?

 

Is John Boehner vulnerable to lose the speaker of the house position? As a conservative republican, I certainly hope so. I have never had any use for the man. Not when he was the supposed republican counter balance to Nancy Pelosi and her nemesis and certainly not now.

Boehner lost my support before he ever received the gavel of speaker and everything he has been involved in since has demonstrated to me that he is a weak panty waste with absolutely no leadership skills and a less than functional understanding of the politics of Washington and the nation.

When he turned his back on Frank Buckles and refused to honor the last American dough boy, I said fine mr. speaker.you have shown your true colors. I don't know who will run against him, but who ever it is I support them over him.

Boehner now less popular than Pelosi

Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) now ranks as the least-liked congressional leader, with just 31 percent of voters holding a positive opinion of the Republican leader and more than half — 51 percent — saying they view the Ohio congressman unfavorably.

That's the first time in several years that Boehner has slipped below House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the Rasmussen survey. The Democratic leader held a 37 percent favorability rating in the poll.

The poll was released Friday, just hours after Boehner was unable to rally Republican support behind his "Plan B" proposal, intended to secure additional leverage in "fiscal cliff" negotiations with President Obama. And it comes just a day after President Obama's approval rating in the Gallup daily tracking poll hit 56 percent, the highest mark for the president since October 2009.

Boehner's slipping popularity likely comes from voters' wariness with Republicans as the deadline to reach a debt deal approaches.

In a Pew Research poll released earlier this month, 53 percent said they would blame the GOP if the crisis was not resolved, versus just 27 percent who said they would blame Democrats.

But Boehner has also lost favor with some conservatives after removing four Tea Party freshmen from their preferred committees for breaking with leadership on key votes. That's led to some Republicans suggesting that Boehner could be vulnerable in a vote to retain his gavel next month.

Earlier Friday, Rep. Nan Hayworth (R-N.Y.) said Friday that she has "every bit of faith" in Boehner despite having failed on the "Plan B" vote.

"He's really trying to do the best he can, under the circumstances, for the American people," Hayworth said on CNN's "Starting Point." "I have great confidence in the Speaker's ability to navigate very, very difficult waters in policy and politics."

Obama & Kerry, birds of a feather

The news today of the nomination of John Kerry as Secretary of State comes as no real surprise. It has been a known fact for weeks that Kerry would get the nod, particularly since Dusan Rice opted to withdraw from consideration.

The only real question then, is what kind of deal are the American people getting with John Kerry and the answer to that is very simple for those who know the man's history. America is getting the foremost 'winter soldier' of all time. The man who once stood before congressional subcommittees and lambasted the American military for it's involvement in Viet Nam as barbarians and murderers. That is who will now hold the number one cabinet post of this nation over foreign policy.

The man who once stood and criticized the then secretary of state Henry Kissinger and the entire Nixon white house, has now come full circle and obtained the ultimate seat of authority short of his failed bid for the presidency eight years ago.

Apparently either few remember or even fewer than those that do remember care about Kerry's checkered past. The man who testified before congress with accusations that he supposedly had witnessed concerning torture and murder has long since been revealed to be a liar and a fake when it comes to his reminiscences of war and American history. Just as the medals that he supposedly earned in Viet Na , then supposedly threw away in disgust and protest, only to reappear on a glass encased plaque in his senate office years later.

Yes, John Kerry is a chameleon and a a charlatan and a liar and a fake. Just the kind of fellow a president such as Barack Obama gravitates towards. Why? Because Obama obviously shares so many similar traits with the man.

Congratulations America, your destruction as a nation is nearing completion. Your president has chosen the heir apparent to the legacy of liberal demons from Viet Nam. The man who accused this nation and his fellow service men as being akin to Ghengis Khan. John Kerry will now control the diplomatic intercourse of America as secretary of state. Of course he will not be given full control over such matters, but rather just enough for Obama to shove his hand up his back side to work his puppet lips for him, but just the same, the chameleon Kerry is now oh so pleased. 

Yes, birds of a feather is a good analogy. 

The architect of this new America

Wow! I never saw this coming! I was so shocked by this news? I almost fainted and I almost got a concussion. (To borrow an ever popular expression of our times).

Time selects Obama as 2012 Person of the Year

Time magazine has named President Barack Obama as its 2012 Person of the Year.

"We are in the midst of historic cultural and demographic changes," Time managing editor Richard Stengel said in announcing its choice. "And Obama is both the symbol and in some ways the architect of this new America."

 So.....there you have it. The man most responsible for this nation languishing in the throes of joblessness and a ubiquitous recession that never ends. The man directly responsible for doubling the national deficit in under four years of his first term. The man most responsible for spending more money than the combined total of all of his predecessors.

He is chosen person of the year for his triumphs over common sense and reason. He is chosen for demonstrably doing more to harm this nation than our enemies have been able to accomplish since the end of WWII.

Barack Obama is "person of the Year!"

But then again, so have other great men. Men like Joseph Stalin. He was a two time winner. Then who could ever forget Adolph Hitler. Or Ayatollah Homeini. They were both winners  Of course all American presidents are two time winners since FDR's day. Of course FDR is the only three time winner. I guess there is still hope for Obama to make a tie with FDR.

She new he was dangerous and was trying to deal with it.

 
The word this morning is, that the mother of the beast Adam Lanza knew he was dangerous, was afraid of him and she was trying to have him committed. If this is true, it truly boggles the mind that she didn't take the time to lock away her weapons in the process.

Fear of being committed may have caused Connecticut gunman to snap

The gunman who slaughtered 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school may have snapped because his mother was planning to commit him to a psychiatric facility, according to a lifelong resident of the area who was familiar with the killer’s family and several of the victims’ families.
Adam Lanza, 20, targeted Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown after killing his mother early Friday because he believed she loved the school “more than she loved him,” said Joshua Flashman, 25, who grew up not far from where the shooting took place. Flashman, a U.S. Marine, is the son of a pastor at an area church where many of the victims' families worship.
“From what I've been told, Adam was aware of her petitioning the court for conservatorship and (her) plans to have him committed," Flashman told FoxNews.com. "Adam was apparently very upset about this. He thought she just wanted to send him away. From what I understand, he was really, really angry. I think this could have been it, what set him off.”

Is euthanasia the answer?

Is this a panacea for a universal problem, or merely a way for society to advance ever faster toward the day when governments literally control all life, cradle to grave. I hope nothing like this is ever allowed to prosper in America.

 Belgium looks at euthanasia for minors, Alzheimer's sufferers

Belgium is considering a significant change to its decade-old euthanasia law that would allow minors and Alzheimer's sufferers to seek permission to die.
The proposed changes to the law were submitted to parliament Tuesday by the Socialist party and are likely to be approved by other parties, although no date has yet been put forward for a parliamentary debate.
"The idea is to update the law to take better account of dramatic situations and extremely harrowing cases we must find a response to," party leader Thierry Giet said.
The draft legislation calls for "the law to be extended to minors if they are capable of discernment or affected by an incurable illness or suffering that we cannot alleviate."

The irony of Newtown is who is now seen as the criminals.

The real irony in my opinion, is that America has gone from a time where we once isolated and institutionalized the mentally diseased and the mentally non functional, to a point where the recommended answer for the results of those failures of societal responsibility, is to seek to isolate legislate and punish and institutionalize the sane, the rational and law abiding citizens of this country. The law abiding are targeted for the crimes of those who should have been removed from society long ago.

We as a nation have decided to punish the producers and the law abiding and to reward those who are socially defiant, or mentally defective and those who provide absolutely no contributions to society.  

What is wrong with America? We have our moral values, our moral judgements and our individual accountability and responsibility to ourselves and our neighbors, completely back asswards.The egalitarian principle of blame someone else personified.

The following blog by a concerned mother is very insightful as to what is wrong and why and her insight clearly demonstrates how a beast like Adam Lanza in allowed to flourish unabated until he matures as a beast and wreaks havoc on innocent children. As she clearly points out, there are more Adam Lanzas still out there.

Thinking the Unthinkable

Michael holding a butterfly

In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it’s easy to talk about guns. But it’s time to talk about mental illness.

Three days before 20 year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother, then opened fire on a classroom full of Connecticut kindergartners, my 13-year old son Michael (name changed) missed his bus because he was wearing the wrong color pants.

“I can wear these pants,” he said, his tone increasingly belligerent, the black-hole pupils of his eyes swallowing the blue irises.

“They are navy blue,” I told him. “Your school’s dress code says black or khaki pants only.”

“They told me I could wear these,” he insisted. “You’re a stupid bitch. I can wear whatever pants I want to. This is America. I have rights!”

“You can’t wear whatever pants you want to,” I said, my tone affable, reasonable. “And you definitely cannot call me a stupid bitch. You’re grounded from electronics for the rest of the day. Now get in the car, and I will take you to school.”

I live with a son who is mentally ill. I love my son. But he terrifies me.

Pogo had it right: We have seen the enemy and he is us.....

Are guns the real problem? Since the massacre in Newtown last Friday, there has been an ever increasing drum beat rising once again for gun control. Banning guns outright if given the opportunity is all that will satisfy the rabid left on the matter of guns. They have never liked anyone having guns that they can't control, as in the police and the military and once again a deranged mind has provided them the impetus to push forward with their searing agenda to see all guns banned.

The Brits did it on the heels of the Dunblane massacre and what has it done for them? Well one thing that has admittedly occurred, is that to date there hasn't been another madman attack on a school, but those quick to point that fact are just as quick to brush past the soaring gun violence all over the UK since the ban took effect in 1997. In essence, the ban did nothing to prevent gun violence and in fact increased gun violence. Because those who lawfully possessed guns are no longer capable of protecting themselves. But no one wants to talk about that.

Here's a thought. If you want to address the root cause of evil in America? Stop blaming guns and start blaming media and our school system. Or how about simply outlawing evil? That's right, media and schools are the root cause of gun violence in America, because they are the root cause of evil in America.  Every aspect of media from music to sports, to entertainment to films to comedy? It all wreaks of secular humanist debauchery and evil and it has for more than forty five years. You want to know what the problem with evil in America is? America has made evil a cottage industry. We breed it in media and social media and we cultivate it in our schools from the time our children are little. We have dolled up evil, packaged it as appealing and told our children for three generations that a little bit of sin mixed with adventure never hurt anyone. By the time the beast in Newtown went mad on Friday, he had a lifetime of experience learning how to kill and learning how to blame others for his own failures. He also had a lifetime of experience being told to apologize for all the evils in the world not of his own making. In the final analysis, it looks like he wanted to make some evil on his own and he did.

Forget the bible, forget the golden rule, forget respect for your parents, forget respect for heritage, forget respect for institutions, forget the work ethic, forget individual responsibility, forget the bill of rights and forget the ten commandments and last but not least, forget any mention of God or faith.

Replace them all with the mantra of if it feels good do it and everyone has a 'right to express themselves.'  I guess that right of expression extends to those who having become so frustrated with life and the fact that all is not 'fair' after all, that they are justified in borrowing a bit of evil from time to time to make their lives whole again. I guess some just get a little more carried away with it than others.

We have allowed the past twenty five years of technology to teach our kids how to kill with video games. We have spent the same decades teaching them that debased and vile music lyrics are cool as hell, just as long as the right color of people are reciting them. WE have roared with approval at vile and horrific films of murder and sadism and the worship of evil. right now in America, the number one most popular movie series is about vampires and death and the murdering of people to quench the wander lust of vampires! and people truly want to stand and tel me that the problem with evil in America is access to guns?

We have denied our faith and abandoned our principles to the egalitarian lies of equality, fairness and blind tolerance to all, regardless of how vile or debased, we are supposed to embrace it as a reasonable alternative.  We have allowed ourselves to believe that tolerance of all manner of debased values and belief systems supersedes our own rights to religions independent thought and reasoning.
We have laughed at decency and made a mockery pf any belief in God.

Then something like the Newtown massacre happens and we are told to ignore all that we know are the true reasons for what happened and blame the guns. I have very simple hypothetical. What happens once all the guns are banned and the next sociopath wants to kill dozens or hundreds? Do you think they may be able to find a car or a truck and drive it into and over people and children on a crowded street or at a crowded event until they have accomplished their blood lust?

It wasn't a generation ago when someone demonstrated how easy it was to poison hundreds with the Tylenol poisonings. Has that threat ever been truly resolved? Should we ban Tylenol? It is not the object that causes the death and mayhem, it is the individual and until we as a nation are prepared to address the root causes of why people periodically rise up and commit mass murder, those mass murders will continue. They will continue with whatever means is available to the individual at the time.

So go ahead and think that by banning guns, you will stop gun violence. At one point in American history, we banned alcohol. Look how that turned out. Has anyone suggested that we ban alcohol again? Has anyone taken exception to the thousands killed annually by drunk drivers and suggested that we ban alcohol and cars? No....and they won't. All of those are money making industries.

We as a people cannot legislate our way out of anything other than our own freedoms.

America's Dunblane!

 The British press has already begun the mantra. America's Dunblane! And Obama has already seized upon it.

— Shock, fury and shame at America's Dunblane— Obama: We're not doing enough, we must change

THESE are the innocents of America’s Dunblane — whose names were read out one by one by President Barack Obama as he vowed to clampdown on his nation's deadly guns culture.

Obama said he would use “whatever power” he has to prevent more shootings like Friday’s rampage by Adam Lanza happening again.
In a powerful speech last night at an evening vigil in Newtown, Connecticut, he suggested he is considering a radical move to ditch America’s historic right to bear arms in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre.
Obama said: “Are we really prepared to say that we’re powerless in the face of such carnage, that the politics are too hard?
“Are we prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?”

Visions of things to come

As this week begins, the first few days will be consumed with the funerals for the dead and the ever increasing media analysis of what went wrong and how society failed the beast who committed the horrendous crimes in Newtown Connecticut on Friday.

In some media circles the blame is already being shifted to the killer's mother. It was her obsession with guns and her beliefs that society is on the verge of collapse that spurned forth her son to commit the most unimaginable crimes. But was it really....

The clamoring  of the left and those who will seek a complete ban on all guns is already rising and the language used by the president in his address to the nations is indicative that he intends to put forth some form of restrictive gun control proposal before congress.

Much like the Dunblane school massacre in Scotland in 1996 led to enactment of gun control laws in the UK completely banning ownership of handguns, the same is looming on the horizon here in America on the heels of what happened in Newtown Connecticut. There will be a rising chorus of national voices demanding assault weapons bans and the banning of all handguns and they will all acclaim the government's right to do so for the better good and safety of all.

No one will look at the history that has followed in the UK since they passed their gun ban and confiscation laws. No one will admit that gun violence crimes and assaults with firearms have increased exponentially since the 1997 enactment of those bans in the UK. No one will admit that over half of the British police now carry firearms. In a society that always abhorred the supposed 'cowboy mentality' of American police officers who were armed, the British now secretly assume the same posture and they do so out of survival.

The bottom line, police officers in America don't carry firearms to protect citizens, they carry firearms to protect themselves. The average police response time to a report of assault or serious crime is at a minimum of six minutes. the true average response time is closer to thirteen minutes.

Therefore, as you watch and listen to the arguments that will be put forth once again, as to why you should be forced to surrender your weapons, just remember this. Rights once taken are not easily restored. History will prove that rights once taken are only restored by civil war. The German people had their right to possess arms taken by Adolph Hitler and history records the results of that error. The same as history is presently recording the results of the knee jerk reactions to the Dunblane massacre and the end result of firearms bans in the UK.

Guns don't cause crime and guns don't create sociopaths and attempting to prevent criminals and sociopaths access to weapons by denying law abiding citizens the right to keep and bear arms has repeatedly been shown to be a complete failure. It is an old but true cliches, 'guns don't kill people, people kill people'

Consider your rights and what is about to happen if we as a nation of laws allow our most important and most sacred laws and rights to be bartered away on the alter of egalitarian lies and purposeful misrepresentations.

They are getting ready to come for your guns and your rights. This president went on record before he won his first term, concerning his views of 'those who cling to their guns and their bibles.' Well, he is about to come for your guns and if he succeeds, he will soon be coming for your bibles.

It wasn't his fault

Once again, the victims aren't even buried yet and the voices are rising to claim victim status for the perpetrator and condemnation for at least one of his victims. If the thesis being represented here and elsewhere is to be considered, then the beast who killed 26 in Newtown Conn, on Friday was merely a victim of his mother's obsessions with guns.

Really? and if you believe that? Then you will also believe that the president intends to submit a balanced budget to congress and Elvis is about to make a comeback tour.

Did paranoid, gun-crazed mother trigger son's school killing spree? Friends say she believed world was on edge of collapse

he mother of the loner who massacred 26 pupils and staff at a US primary school may have played a major part in his catastrophic mental breakdown, it emerged last night.Friends and family portrayed Adam Lanza’s mother Nancy as a paranoid ‘survivalist’ who believed the world was on the verge of violent, economic collapse.
She is reported to have been struggling to hold herself together and had been stockpiling food, water and guns in the large home she shared with her 20-year-old son in Connecticut.

Was he inspired by his mother? Adam Lanza, 20, shot his teacher mother Nancy before driving to her elementary school and shooting 26 people including 20 children

Comprehending the unimaginable

Many American are hurting this morning. They are hurting because they are unable to comprehend the senseless massacre of twenty children in Newtown Conn. on Friday. Yes, six adults died in that tragedy also, but it is the children that were killed who are lingering in the minds of most Americans.

I wish people would stop trying to analyze the motivations of an evil beast. I wish the media would stop continuing to stoke and inflame the open wounds of personal tragedies so deep as to be unfathomable on any level of reasoned thinking or emotion.  I wish people would stop their incessant attempts to understand the unimaginable. There is no understanding it. Evil is not understandable, not in its purest form. 

Every time one of these incidents occurs, the so called professionals and the media personalities immediately go into their analytical mode. They want to examine the childhood of the beast. They want to interview his or her friends. They want to know what kind of home life they had. They want to know all these things and if anyone questions their motive, the immediate retort is: "we are just searching for answers."  No one ever stops to consider the possibility, if not the probability, that there are no answers.

Is it humanly possible to understand the progression and motives of a disease on a molecular level. Is it humanly possible to superimpose conscious and feelings on a disease such as cancer? Can we ever hope to understand how something so evil can function and more importantly so, do we truly want to know the answers to the unanswerable. Do we truly want to be told that it is no more complicated than evil is evil. That evil requires no explanation?

The person who committed the massacre in Newtown Conn. on Friday was evil. He was an evil so contemptible as to be devoid of humanity. Possessing an emptiness so incomplete that he apparently felt the need to attempt to fill his emptiness with the sacrifices of innocent lives on a scale that boggles the minds ability to comprehend.

I am reminded of a dialogue that passed between the Characters Wyatt Earp and Soc Holiday as it concerned what motivated the killer Johnny Ringo in the film Tombstone.

Wyatt Earp: What makes a man like Ringo, Doc? What makes him do the things he does?
Doc Holliday: A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it.
Wyatt Earp: What does he need?
Doc Holliday: Revenge.
Wyatt Earp: For what?
Doc Holliday: Bein' born.

If you want to try and get a grip on the mind of a beast like Adam Lanza, or if you are looking for an answer to what motivated Adam Lanza to kill so many and to target so many young innocent children, then look no further than the essence of evil. Adam Lanza was the essence of evil.Adam Lanza was after revenge for ever having been born.

Those like Adam Lanza have an unimaginable void in their being, much as was described in the dialogue above. They can never kill enough or inflict enough pain to fill that void and yes, they want revenge for ever having been born and to that pursuit their only answer is death and pain inflicted on others.

In the final analysis the only thing that can be done in the aftermath of a tragedy like this, is to try and provide comfort to those who have lost so much to such an unimaginable act of violence. The mothers and the fathers, the grandparents, the family friends. They all grieve and unthinkable grief this morning and they will continue to do so for the remainder of their lives.

But also try and ponder and consider the emotional trauma to those who did not know these children or their teachers. Those first responders who answered the call and within minutes were immersed so deeply into unimaginable horror that you cannot fathom how they will cope with what they saw and what they were forced to process and filter for hours after the fact. They too are forever scarred, they too are forever damaged. In the months and years that pass, many of them will decide that their pain is too much and they will leave their jobs as policemen and emergency medical technicians. They will leave their jobs or worse.

As the coming days of funerals play out and the ongoing examination of the events  are put on display, all I can think about are the lives of innocence lost. Twenty little children who will not see Christmas. Twenty little souls who did not understand and could not possibly comprehend what was happening or why.

As it concerns the beast Adam Lanza, I do not have any further time to devote to him. I have to take solace in the knowledge and belief that he is already in a place so terrifying as to easily justify his being there by all who are aware of what he did.

God allowed Adam Lanza to be born and to commit the horror that he did on Friday. the same as he allowed Judas Iscariot to be born and commit the acts that led to the death of his only son. I have to believe that in the final judgement, God will be the arbitrator of justice to those who commit the unspeakable. Just as I have to believe that these little souls that were so violently taken and destroyed, are now in the arms of angels. Born anew and enjoying the eternal presence and love of their father in heaven. 

Belafonte recommends a dictatorship for Obama

According to Harry Belafonte, the one sure way for Obama to silence his critics is to become a third world dictator and lock them up!

Really? And this man is given a public forum to spew his anti American Marxism to the applause of those like Al Sharpton and his viewers? I suppose the same question could be asked about Sharpton.

Those like Belafonte and Sharpton and Sean Penn and their creed are not Americans. They are leftist adherents to Marxism.They hold no allegiance to anything other than their Marxist hatred of this nation. Their only desire is to see America reduced to a third world spit where they see themselves and their friends are the ruling class and everyone else is just a peon to their Marxist dreams of Nirvana.

 

And in other news......

Sean Penn is in Venezuela leading prayer vigils for Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez.

A margin of doubt for the Medal of Honor

The last time I checked, awarding the Medal of Honor was not hinged upon some courtroom standard of reasonable doubt. Witnesses testify to the acts of the individual cited and the medal is awarded for cause based upon eye witness testimony.

In  this case a young Marine died saving his comrades from a grenade attack in Iraq eight years ago, yet the secretary of defense and his predecessor don't believe that what he did that day is good enough to receive the nation's highest honor. This fallen Marine was observed scooping a live grenade underneath his body to save his comrades, but that isn't good enough. Serious questions have been raised.  Questions like......which hand did he use to grab and scoop the grenade with?

Seriously? In the fog of war, one man's recollection of which hand was used differs from another? And that is cause to inject reasonable doubt and deny this medal? Other questions linger and suggest the autopsy report reflects that Sgt. Rafael Peralta suffered a mortal head wound before the incident and therefore, he couldn't have done that which others witnessed him perform? Really?  A mortally wounded Marine saved his comrades, but that couldn't have happened as it has been reported? So what the hell did the witnesses see that day? Was it a dead man that reached out and scooped up a grenade and saved his comrades? Or was Sgt. Rafael Peralta shot in the head after the act? Or did his fellow Marines simply place his body on top of a live grenade after his death for shits and giggles?

Leon Panetta and Robert Gates are both POS in my opinion. Neither of them have provided anything other than yes man stone walling for this cardboard cutout presidency of Barack Obama. Both have been responsible for the countless deaths of our service men in Afghanistan since Obama took office via their complicit issuance of absurd rules of engagement. Rules specifically aimed at furthering the liberal agenda and perception, while sacrificing our troops on the alter of political correct egalitarianism. Panetta and Gates are personally responsible because they have implemented Obama's political policies to the detriment and the death of young men and women who deserved more from their leaders than political correctness and egalitarian lies.

This young Marine deserves the honor that he earned. This medal was paid for in full in Fallujah Iraq eight years ago. It was paid for with the last full measure of love and devotion that Sgt. Rafael Peralta could offer to his friends as he was dying in a despicable place for a despicable cause.

Shame on all who have sought to deny this hero the honor and respect that he earned.

  

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta has denied the request to give Sgt. Rafael Peralta the Medal of Honor, saying there are still too many questions to accept that he knowingly scooped a grenade beneath himself to absorb its blast and save his fellow Marines.
The Pentagon informed Peralta’s family Wednesday morning of the denial, eight years after he was killed in Fallujah, Iraq, and four years after then-Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates denied an initial bid to award Peralta the military’s top honor despite eyewitness reports from his platoon that he saved their lives.
Icela Donald, Peralta’s sister, said the decision was a disappointment — compounded by the lack of a good reason. She said the family was told that one overriding factor was Mr. Panetta’s reluctance to overturn the decision of Mr. Gates.
“That right there just truly made it even worse,” she said. “It’s not that they don’t want to do the right thing, it’s that they don’t want to turn over someone else’s decision.”
A Pentagon spokesman said the Defense Department wouldn’t comment “on Medal of Honor nominations under consideration.”
Peralta has been awarded the Navy Cross, the second-highest honor a Marine can earn, but his family has not accepted it. Ms. Donald said her mother feels that if she accepted it, she would be settling.
The quest to upgrade to the Medal of Honor seemed to get a big boost last week when Navy Secretary Ray Mabus backed the move, and Peralta has had a key ally in Rep. Duncan Hunter, a California Republican who served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a Marine officer.
Peralta was under consideration for the Medal of Honor four years ago, but the Pentagon questioned the reliability of eyewitnesses, who said Peralta scooped the grenade under him but disagreed about details such as which hand he used.
The Pentagon also pointed to autopsy data that suggested he was likely dead, and probably blinded, from a friendly-fire gunshot wound to the head and thus could not have voluntarily scooped the grenade toward himself.
“There is no way to reconcile differences in forensic evidence and conflicting testimony of Marines involved,” the Pentagon report said, but it concluded that the forensic evidence created enough “margin of doubt” that the medal could not be issued.

Jesus is no myth

Those who have no knowledge of the reason for the season, are those who apparently want to celebrate the 'holiday' absent the recognition that the day deserves.   Meanwhile, the rest of us know the reason for the season and we will celebrate it by recognizing that the sharing of Christmas is about the birth of Christ and not some commercialized holiday who's sole purpose is to generate revenue for the greedy.

Just as midtown Manhattan comes alive with Christmas cheer, festive window displays and Salvation Army bell ringers trying to channel holiday generosity to the needy, an atheist group has a message for the masses teeming into Times Square: Jesus is a myth.
With a picture of Santa Claus above another image of Jesus Christ, the sign, sponsored by New Jersey-based American Atheists, urges passersby to "Keep the Merry!" and "Dump the Myth!" Attacks on Christianity from the group have become routine, and in the bustling heart of America's busiest city, most folks don't even waste a shrug on the sign. But some took notice, and did not approve.
“It’s a damn shame. It’s an insult,” said Anthony White, 41, a of Jersey City, N.J. said. “Why did they have to put that up?”
David Silverman, president of American Atheists, had an answer, though not one likely to please the faithful.

“It’s a damn shame. It’s an insult.”

- Anthony White, Jersey City man

“Most Christians are really atheists who feel trapped in their family’s religion," Silverman told FoxNews.com. "They need not be Christian to enjoy the holiday season.”

They couldn't stop Godzilla either

Does North Korea have a missile capable of striking America? Looks like the answer is maybe so. After they test fired their missile as planned yesterday and the official response was tepid at best by America and Japan, not to mention South Korea, it is looking pretty certain that they have one that will at least go a long way. .

All last week the saber rattling by America and the Japanese was "if a missile is launched, it will be shot down." So I guess we know where both America and the Japanese stand when it comes to their threats against any countries launching missiles over their territory. 

The North Korean missile flew directly over Japanese territory and not a finger was lifted to flip any switches to launch the much vaunted missile interceptor systems developed in America and in possession of the Japanese.(And reportedly on station and preparing to shoot down the Korean missile).

Nada, zip, zilch was the combined response of everyone. which means, the North Koreans will continue to carry out their launches until one day soon, they will attack South Korea, the Japanese and American assets in the region. Hells bells, they may even go after China....

North Korea defies warnings in rocket launch

North Korea has successfully launched a long-range rocket, defying international warnings.

The Unha-3 rocket, launched at 09:49 local time (00:49 GMT), appears to have followed its planned trajectory, with stages falling in expected areas.
North Korea says a satellite has been placed in orbit; the US confirmed an object had been put into space.
South Korea, the US and Japan have condemned the launch as a disguised test of long-range missile technology.
A UN resolution passed in June 2009 after North Korea's second nuclear test banned Pyongyang from ballistic missile tests.
The US called it a "highly provocative act that threatens regional security", while UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said it was a "clear violation" of the UN resolution.

Civil war threatened in Michigan

Jimmy Hoffa Jr. speaks of civil war and letting the voters decide. I think that is how the law passing right to work came to pass Mr. Hoffa, the voters of Michigan passed a proposition requesting that Michigan become a right to work state and the legislature and the governor complied. That's what democracy is about Mr. Hoffa. The problem is? You and your union no longer hold the power and sway that you once did over the mindless minions like the ones that followed your father decades ago. The Teamsters was a dirty union fifty years ago when Bobby Kennedy was coming after them and nothing has changed in the five decades since in my opinion. (Other than the Mob killed your father).

Look around! Michigan is in the worst shape of any state in the union. Astronomical unemployment and poverty that leads the nation. Compliments of labor unions and government over regulation of industries who no longer reside in the state of Michigan.

Unions ran these manufacturing jobs out of Michigan and these unions loons haven't got the sense enough to recognize that. They would rather wallow in the misery and blame offered up by a second generation Hoffa and a union that is so historically corrupt as to beggar belief, than to look around and smell the coffee. 

This is more of the Obama plan to steal away and weaken America at its base. The appetite of the left to completely consume everything of value for their insatiable desire to punish the wealthy has no bounds. Anyone who has anything above the most basic level of living is considered rich and they are coming after them on every level of taxation.

526,421 family farms threatened by new death tax

New legislation that jumps the death tax to 55 percent of estates exceeding $1 million threatens 526,421 family farms, of about 25 percent of all farms in America, according to a Senate analysis.
According to the analysis from the Senate Republican Policy Committee, chaired by Wyoming's John Barrasso:
If President Obama and Senate Democrats do not act, the federal government will begin taking more than half the value of family farm estates exceeding $1 million beginning next year. This summer, Majority Leader Harry Reid and Senate Democrats passed legislation (S.3412) on a party-line vote that allows Washington to take up to 55 percent, a huge increase over today's top rate of 35 percent, and drop the tax's exemption from $5.1 million to $1 million. The lower exemption -- combined with soaring farm real estate values -- could put more than 420,000 additional farm estates at risk from the death tax.
Farm values are largely tied up in non-liquid assets like land, buildings, and livestock. Many farm and ranch families would be forced to sell their assets to satisfy Washington Democrats' insatiable appetite for tax money. Up to 24 percent of America's farm and ranch families could be forced to hand over a large chunk of their heritage to the Internal Revenue Service when a family member dies. This would economically devastate rural communities. The President and Senate Democrats should join Republicans in rejecting this irresponsible policy.

Where have all the flowers gone......

"Where have all the flowers gone? Long time passing....Where have all the flowers gone, a long long time ago"..... 

As soon as I began reading this report this morning, that old 60's folk tune began a loop in my head. California, the land of the flower children is dying. Two generations past the great societal upheaval of peace and love and the sharing of all communally. Take the way back machine if you like and have a look back in the rear view mirror at what California use to be, then come back to the present and look at it now. Look at what it has become.

 California has in essence been bankrupt since before Swartzenegger left office and now on  the heals of Gerry Brown's tax and eat the rich proposals, those who have the money and the means are leaving the state in droves. My curiosity is just how long will it take for the rich and famous in Beverly hiulls and Brentwood 'et all' to dump their mansions and follow suit , opting for the desert southwest and other states where the burden of supporting the unwashed mass has not reached epic proportions. 

America is in trouble folks and California is the poster child for the terminal illness of egalitarianism and  socialist policies once they have reached maturity. The same thing is happening in Europe and now it is happening here in America at the state level. As each day passes more and more of the socialist in office in our state governments are realizing that they cannot sustain their consumption of the public treasury and like the good like brain dead believers that they are, their first and only answer is to raise taxes and go after the evil rich. 

Never mind the reality that once the golden geese are all plucked and consumed, we still cannot maintain the runaway train of socialist Nirvana.  

California's Population is Moving Out, Census Report Shows

About 100,000 more people moved away from California in 2011 than relocated to the Golden State, according to the latest report from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The trend can be explained, in part, in monetary terms. Even in an economic boom, the cost of living in California has increased, prompting people to move out, and, in recent years, unemployment in the state has skyrocketed.

So, where are these former Californians going?

The Census Bureau calculates that the most popular destination is Texas (58,992), a state that is luring California companies. That’s followed by Arizona (49,635), Nevada (40,114), Washington (38,421) and Oregon (34,214).

Although in smaller numbers, people are still relocating to the Golden State.

Got the munchies? Head to Colorado

Personally, I love the photo of the governor of Colorado posing with Cheetos and Goldfish.
I think that makes a statement that I am sure that the makers of those two brands will appreciate. 

  Gov. John Hickenlooper, right, poses with Ean Seeb, co-owner of Denver Relief, one of the state’s largest dispensaries, holding Cheetos and Goldfish, the two things Hickenlooper told marijuana users not to “bust out” too quickly in the wake of Amendment 64′s passage. (Photo: Denver Relief Consulting

Governor signs Amendment 64, marijuana officially legal in Colorado

Go ahead and bust out the Cheetos and Goldfish, Colorado. Marijuana is now legal in the Centennial State.
Just over a month after the citizens of Colorado voted in overwhelming favor of Amendment 64 to legalize marijuana for recreational use, Governor John Hickenlooper signed the Executive Order that makes an “official declaration of the vote.”

How black is that?

This clip of Jamie Foxx pretty well sums up his sentiments and his comedy at this point in his career. Everything seems to be all about being black. This is the same man who referred to Barack Obama as "our lord and savior" a few weeks ago after the election.

Now, everything is about "how black is that?" How cool is that. "Come see my new movie, I play a slave. I get to kill all the white people in the movie!"

I don't know how black that is? but I do know enough to realize that Jamie Foxx isn't a brand that I am interested in spending any of my money on again. But that is alright, as I am sure that there are more than enough black people to keep him rich for the rest of his life while he hustles his newly acquired diatribes against white people.

And to think, I actually really use to like this guy a lot.

The Chinese writing is on the wall

 
For those wondering what America will look like in another twenty years? Look no further than who is buying up our country at fire sale prices compliments of the mortgage crisis that the left created ten years ago and the collapse that occured five years ago.

The end result is now coming to rest and those with the money are buying up this country lock, stock and barrel.

As the U.S. housing market slowly starts to recover, foreign investment is helping it along.
According to the National Association of Realtors, non-American buyers accounted for $82 billion in home sales last year. More than $7 billion of that is by the Chinese, who are now the second largest foreign home purchasers after Canadians. They're buying high-end, multimillion-dollar homes from California to New York and paying cash.
"They're probably the top 1 percent of the Mandarin speakers that are coming from China," said Brent Chang, a Coldwell Banker realtor in Southern California. "They're really the people who have their own businesses or maybe were part of the government."
Some of these homes are specifically catered to Chinese buyers. Fox News visited a home listed at $8 million in Pasadena, Calif., that had two kitchens, the smaller one had ventilation for the cooking for aromatic or "stinky" foods like fish. It also has a lower level in-law suite and even a koi pond.
"People from China do a lot more business in their homes so they want their homes to really scream that they've made it and they're successful, " said Chang.
The Chinese like the U.S. because their money goes further. In Shanghai, $2 million might only get you a two-bedroom condo.

Own it

It looks like Barack Obama isn't the only one to own a bunch of America's debt. China has been approved to own a controlling interest in AIG which will literally control the American and global commercial aircraft industry.

Nice move mr. president. What else have you got up your sleeve, More fire sales of America to support your socialist Nirvana?

 

Chinese Group Buys 80% of AIG Plane Unit

A Chinese group agreed to buy 80.1 percent of American International Group Inc. (AIG)’s plane-leasing unit for $4.23 billion in the nation’s largest acquisition of a U.S. company.
The International Lease Finance Corp. acquirers, led by New China Trust Co. Chairman Weng Xianding, have an option to buy another 9.9 percent, New York-based AIG said today in a statement. The transaction, which values ILFC at $5.3 billion, passes China Investment Corp.’s $3 billion purchase of a stake in Blackstone Group LP (BX) in 2007 as the biggest Chinese-U.S. deal.

The Dependent Class

Sitting here looking at the news reports this morning I suddenly had an epiphany. As it concerns the purposely created and ongoing class struggle and class warfare that is being perpetrated against America by the Obama administration, there are certain nuances of class that are being ignored.

There are a number of classes that people are aware of, but I wonder, are Americans aware of the other classes. Are they aware of those classes that are never mentioned, but who must be considered as being part of the overall picture.

We are all familiar with the rich and the poor and we are told that somewhere in between lies a 'middle class' who is the majority and the backbone of this nation. But are there other classes that have never been considered as separate and distinct from what we all know and recognize? I say yes there are other classes and as a glaring example of one of those other classes, I tinder the example of the dependent class.'

The "dependent class" is that class of people who are completely dependent on some form of government subsidy in order to survive. From the news reports, we have learned that this dependent class has grown exponentially since Barack Obama took office. There are now more people on food stamps and more people filing for disability claims than in the history of this nation. That does not include the astronomical filings for unemployment or those now qualifying for medicare benefits via the Obama care act.

But are there any other classes that may have escaped our awareness?  Once again I say yes. The government class. The government class has also grown exponentially under Obama's tutelage. The government class are those people who have found their way into the multi layered onion of well paying government jobs compliments of this administration. Government jobs and agencies that didn't exist four years ago are now filling rapidly with those seeking their own form of government subsistence and the pay is on average 40% higher than similar private sector employment. (when it is available).

The IRS alone is looking to take on over 160 thousand new positions as a result of Obama care and their newly granted authority to punish Americans and businesses who fail to comply with Obama care.  Are there other classes or sub classes yet to be revealed in America? I am sure there are. There are those who were the members of ACORN and those seeking to become Obama's equivalent of the Hitler youth. These too will have special privileges above those of the commoners who inhabit that middle band of the supposed middle class.

Meanwhile, the truly poor and their ranks are increasing, as are the ranks of the liberal elite and their Vichy rich. Class upon class and layer upon layer, until one day the real producers and those truly responsible for keeping America afloat are literally inundated and swamped and our entire society collapses.

So maybe you should ask yourself.....'what class are you in and should you be worried?'

I say that if you are not in the liberal lefts graduating classes of 2008 and 2012? Reaping the benefits of the great one and all that he is doing to redistribute the wealth (and the misery)? Then you're damn right you should be worried.  You better be worried, very worried, because the end is nearing for you and yours as you know it. 

Unions?

Another example of the benefits of unions and why the dependent class clings to them.

  Photo shows a Chrysler worker drinking while on the job. (MyFoxDetroit) 
  

  
  Fired for drinking on the job, they get their jobs back. 
  
  Chrysler workers who were fired or suspended two years ago after a MyFoxDetroit investigation found them drinking and goofing off during lunch break are back on the job.

MyFoxDetroit first aired the footage of the Chrysler workers in September 2010. Video showed them in a park during the work day, drinking alcohol from bottles covered in brown paper bags and smoking what appeared to be marijuana.
With the auto giant having recently received a federal taxpayer bailout, and President Obama having visited the plant where the employees worked just months earlier, Chrysler appeared to take a zero-tolerance attitude. The company fired 13 workers, and suspended two.
But MyFoxDetroit reports that following a union-backed arbitration process, the employees were reinstated. This week, they came back to work.

Remains of soldier killed in 1966 Vietnam crash identified


Military officials announced Friday that they have identified remains of a serviceman killed in action during the Vietnam War.
Army patrols identified the soldier as Army Capt. James J. Johnstone of Baton Rouge, La., who died when his airplane crashed in 1966 in Laos. Officials said scientists used his AMEX car, military ID card and a tooth to figure out his identity.
A spokesperson for the Department of Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office (DPMO) said the remains of the other pilot on board, Maj. James L. Whited, were also identified.
Johnstone will be buried with military honors in Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2012.
"I couldn't be more excited, I'm on an adrenaline shot," daughter Shawn Johnstone, 46, told The Advocate.
Capt. James M. Johnstone was the pilot of an OV-1A Mohawk aircraft that crashed in Attapu Province, Laos, while conducting a daytime reconnaissance mission on Nov. 19, 1966.
According to The Advocate, Shawn Johnstone said she was given a 100-page book detailing the multiple investigations conducted by the military while looking for the wreckage.
After the crash, villagers took valuables from the site, including her father's American Express card, The Advocate reports. When a villager returned the card to government officials more than 40 years later, a new investigation into the crash was opened.

Detroit to file bankruptcy

Unbelievable. The city of Detroit is about to file for bankruptcy. How many other cities nation wide to follow. And didn't Obama rescue the auto industry and by default Detroit? That's what I was told. and as I recall? Obama soundly won Michigan and the city of Detroit.

So not to fear people, the great one will come to your rescue. He will pay your debts and make sure that there is a chicken in every pot, Nike jumpers on every foot and a new iphone in every pocket, and he will insure that all of the other desires of the people of Detroit are subsidized. Just you wait and see.

Looks like Detroit no longer qualifies as the image of that  'shining city on a hill.'  Detroit is broke, busted and destitute. Large portions of the city have been abandoned and it is almost time for the vultures to come pick the bones.

But never fear, egalitarian socialism under the tutelage of Barack Obama will never allow that to happen.  Watch and see.

Even as the state Treasury prepares to begin another financial review of Detroit's books, a plan is being solidified in the governor's office that would guide Michigan's largest city through what is being called a managed bankruptcy.
The working concept, still evolving, assumes that the state's financial review would find severe financial distress in Detroit, that Mayor Dave Bing and City Council would be unable to push through overdue restructuring, and that the process would culminate in appointment of an emergency financial manager under Public Act 72.

From The Detroit News:

Life is a joke to some people

Life is a joke to some people. I wonder how they feel about death. I wonder how they feel about a death that they caused via their childishness and idiocy. I wonder if anything will be done to address their actions.  I doubt it. A woman is now dead because of some shits and giggles prank by two individuals who should be fired adn run out of the broadcasting business, but that won't happen.

Sad, so sad that a person's life is ended over such oronic activity.

THE nurse who took a prank call from two Australian DJs asking about the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge has been found dead this morning.

Tragic Jacintha Saldanha, 46, is believed to have committed suicide as police are not treating the death as suspicious.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge issued a statement saying they were “deeply saddened" by the death of Jacintha, described by the hospital as an "excellent nurse" who was "well respected and popular" with colleagues.
DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian made the prank call from Down Under, impersonating Prince Charles and the Queen to get information about Kate's condition.
The duo — whose station is notorious for courting controversy — were amazed when their dodgy uppercrust British accents got them put through to Kate's ward.

Tragedy ... King Edward VII Hospital, where woman worked

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are “deeply saddened to learn of the death of Jacintha Saldanha”, St James’s Palace said today.
The Palace added: “Their Royal Highnesses were looked after so wonderfully well at all times by everybody at King Edward VII Hospital, and their thoughts and prayers are with Jacintha Saldanha’s family, friends and colleagues at this very sad time."
The King Edward VII hospital said it made the announcement of her death with “very deep sadness", adding: “We can confirm the tragic death of a member of our nursing staff, Jacintha Saldanha.
