So It's Not Really Bankruptcy?

When you file for bankruptcy, you don't get money from the government. At least my parents didn't when they had to a number of years ago. If you're getting $8 billion in our tax dollars, it's not bankruptcy. It's just another bailout. And if they're getting our money, shouldn't WE be the owners of these companies instead of the government?

As part of the deal, Chrysler is signing a partnership with the Italian company Fiat. The government will be an investor in the revamped Chrysler and will help choose its new directors, but the Obama administration does not plan to help manage the company.

Doesn't plan to help manage the company? What the hell does he think choosing the directors of the company is? Dear God, can't you make 2012 get here any sooner so we can vote him out of office?

This Week's Post Was Suggested & Written By Mary Ann

Sgt. Kenneth G. Ross
24 years old from Tucson, Arizona
7th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment
September 25, 2005


"He believed in serving his country," said Ross' father, David C. Ross. Gary Anderson, Ross' best friend and an Army infantry veteran who served nine months in Afghanistan and 11 months in Iraq during his active duty stint, was a classmate of Ross at Marana's Mountain View High School. "You know, I heard this news of Ken and I broke down and cried hysterically," said Anderson, now a firefighter for the Ak-Chin Indian Community in Maricopa. "He loved everyone; everyone who came in contact with him loved him. He'd always help everyone out that he could."

A 1999 graduate of Mountain View, Ross played drums in the marching band and orchestra, his father said. Ross enlisted in the Army right after graduation. "He just wanted to take part in history," Anderson said.

At the time of his death, he was a helicopter mechanic — acting as a door gunner on his last mission, his father said. SSgt. Ross was killed when his helicopter went down southwest of Deh Chopan, Afghanistan. Also killed in the crash were Sgt. Shawn A. Graham, Warrent Officer Adrian B. Stump, Sgt. Tane T. Baum, Chief Warrent Officer 2 John M. Flynn and Sgt. Patrick D. Stewart.

Along with his father, SSgt. Ross is survived by his mother, Mary Ross, 57, and his sister, Stephanie Ross, 30. "I know his last thoughts were for everybody else and not for himself," Anderson said. "I know he wanted to make sure everybody was safe and would go home."

Hillary In Iraq

So our new Secretary Of State traveled to Iraq for her first official trip. Did she meet with the servicemen and women while there? Remember what happened last time.

Buy A Ford

Not only because they're better than GM, but because they seem to be able to stay afloat without the government's bailout money. And they're doing it by being smart. Don't spend more than you can afford. Weird concept, I know. But this does make one wonder something. Why hasn't the government forced auto manufactures to take federal bailout money, whether the need it or not, like they did the banks? You'd think they'd want to control them as well.

Did She Or Didn't She?

I think NanPel is trying to cover her ass. The Obama administration wants to go after these horrible, horrible people who approved "torture" so now she knew nothing about it.

I Thought "Torture" Didn't Work

Not so says National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair.

The Obama administration's top intelligence official privately told employees last week that "high value information" was obtained in interrogations that included harsh techniques approved by former President George W. Bush.

"A deeper understanding of the al-Qaida network" resulted

Then we have this from CNS. If you want real torture, look back to the Battan Death March and what happened there. Waterboarding is not torture. The three people who were waterboared weren't injured. They weren't starved of food or water. And they didn't die. And I don't care what John McCain says, I don't care what Obama or Bush or you or anyone else says. I do not believe it is torture and I want it, and any other tactic short of death, used anytime it is deemed necessary to save innocent lives. Because I would rather this country lose it's morality, as Obama claims, than for innocent people to be hurt or killed. And for Obama to leave the door open for people who protect us to be prosecuted shows he cares more about pubic perception and the views of the hard Left than doing what's right.

Let Kids Just Be Kids

1 out of 3 children between 6-11 fear an Earth apocalypse is coming because of global warming. They're inundated with propaganda 24/7, is it any wonder they're scared? Honestly, can an epidemic of pediatric ulcers be far behind? Just let them be kids for the love of God. They're going to have enough to worry about when they're older. Like paying for Obama's economic plan. Now that's something to worry about.

Holocaust Remembrance Day

21,000,000. That's the estimated cost of the Nazi's campaign. Think about that number. Twenty one million Jews, Soviets, disabled, Poles, Gays, Romani, Freemasons and Jehovah's Witnesses gone. Twenty one million men, women and children dead. That's more than the populations of Oklahoma, Kansans, Arkansas, Missouri and Louisiana combined. That's five entire states just gone. And these people didn't just die. They were subject to the most horrific, abominable treatment known to mankind administered by the most evil, abhorrent monsters the world has ever seen. It's a hard read, but it should be read. Some of the pictures are very graphic. And, sadly, stuff like this is still going on all over the world. You'd think we would have learned from history.

What's Happend To Janeane Garofalo?

She use to be funny and I really liked her in Mystery Men and Copland, but lately she's become of the most hateful and intolerant people on the planet.

Let's be very honest about what this is about. This is not about bashing Democrats. It's not about taxes. They have no idea what the Boston Tea party was about. They don't know their history at all. It's about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up and is nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks. There is no way around that."

Really? I don't hate Obama nor am I against him being president because he's black. Those of you who went to any of these protests. Did you see any racism there? Anyone holding a sign or chanting anything? Garofalo has become a pathetic excuse of a human.

Their synapses are misfiring. ... It is a neurological problem we are dealing with

Perhaps she should look at herself when saying that because she's gone off the deep end. And is it any surprise what show she said this on?

Bite Him On The Ass

God, you know this is going to come around one day and bite him on the ass when Chavez becomes a full fledged dictator like it did Rumsfeld. Which he's well on his way to becoming. Does he not think about what he's doing? First, well I say first but it actually just another in a long list of screw ups, it was Mexico and laying the blame on us for their ills and now this. When I first heard about this I actually thought he had fist bumped him.

"Yo, what's up dog?"
"Nothing, nothing. Just busy throwing people in prison for speaking their minds and calling for your demise."
"I heard that. Hit me up on Twitter @MoronPresident."
"You got it."

Brown University Won't Celebrate Columbus Day

Sort of. And speaking as a 1/2 Cherokee, I'm all in favor of doing away with this day. Christopher Columbus having his own day is like celebrating the captain of the first slave ship to leave Africa. He doesn't deserve his own day. Because of his "heroic" actions, sailing off into a world that was thought flat, a mass genocide was perpetrated against the native people. And I take umbrage to what Limbaugh had to say about this. Ask an Indian what he thinks about Columbus Day. Chances are he's not going to be in favor of it, and I doubt he has a skull full of mush. I support Brown in this, but still taking the day off with pay is the height of hypocrisy.

Doing this post almost made me want to go off on Mount Rushmore. That half of my blood really get fired up on things like this. But one rant at a time.

Wise Sage Of The Day

"To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father’s has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association—the guarantee to every one of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it."

21 years old from Kenai, Alaska
425th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division
December 31, 2006


Alan R. Blohm enlisted in the Army in 2004 because "He wanted to serve the country," his brother Jeremy said. "His grandfather had been in the Army, and it's just something he wanted to do."

Blohm graduated in 2004 from Bay City Western High School, where he was a 250-pound defensive player for the football team. Blohm's size prompted coach Jim Eurick to nickname him "Biggins Blohm," his brother recalled. "I know he paid the ultimate sacrifice with his life," Mark Boileau, Blohm's former school Principal, said. "We know Alan will be in a better place because of the sacrifice he made, because of his love for our country."

PFC. Blohm died of wounds suffered when an IED detonated near his unit while on combat patrol in Baghdad Besides his brother, he leaves behind his parents and a younger sister.

Happy Tax Day

I wonder how many media outlets will be covering these protests today? Beside FNC that is. Hannity, Beck, Cavuto and Van Susteren will all be doing their shows live from parties around the country. They're set to be the largest media ignored protests in the country. Oh, I'm sure they'll be some outlets begrudgingly talking about them but there won't be nearly as much coverage as war protests got just a few years ago. Except, you know, places like HuffPo who will looking for that one moron who says something stupid and then make it seem like everyone there agrees.

At least some in the Department Of Homeland Security think so anyway. I was going to do my own post about this but Pink Elephant Pundit has done a better post than I could have.

Fake Photo Op For Obama In Iraq

God, what a looser president we have. On Obama's recent trip to Iraq, the above photo was released that shows how much the men and women of the U.S. military love the man. They're cheering, they're smiling, they're hugging him and they all have their cameras out. Their identical cameras. What? That's all because it was staged. Before his visit, troops were interrogated to see who had voted for Obama and who didn't. Those who did were placed in front of media cameras and given identical digital cameras so that when the Commander-In-Chief arrived it would make for an amazing picture. Obama's like that nerd in high school. The one that wants people to like him, so he throws a party in his basement while his parents serve chips and dip to the five or six kids that actually showed up. He thinks it's going to help him become part of cool kids clique, but they're still laughing at him on Monday.

Cybersecurity Act

Thoughts?

I don't know enough about these two bills, but it does seem that they give the president broad powers without really defining what those powers entail. And anytime you start getting the government involved in anything you should be wary.

A Tale Of Two Protests

Many of us know about the nationwide Tax Day Tea Parties taking place on April 15. Now some on the Left are also planning their own protests on April 11. But I'm with Michelle Malkin on this one. Chances are the 4/11 demonstrations, no matter how big or small they are, will probably get more coverage by media outlets than the better organized 4/15 Tea Parties. That's just a guess, but it's most likely not far off.

Cpl. Aaron L. Seal
23 years old from Elkhart, Indiana
6th Engineer Support Battalion, 4th Marine Logistics Group, Marine Forces Reserve
October 1, 2006


With sleet gushing from gunmetal gray clouds, some 30 Marines standing in three trim lines saluted the U.S. flag that four of their brethren used to christen a new pole.

A large engraved stone set at the base of the 38-foot pole explained the occasion: "In memory of Corporal Aaron L. Seal. Who gave his life for our country. 1982-2006."

The Marines from Engineer Company B joined several dozen community residents and well-wishers at a ceremony Wednesday honoring Seal, the 23-year-old Elkhart reservist who died last fall in Iraq. Seal's family also attended the 20-minute tribute at Elkhart Community Schools' administration building adjacent to Memorial High School -- the fallen Marine's alma mater.

It's Still A War On Terror

Israel gets it right while others get it so very wrong. We're still in the most dangerous fight of our lives, despite what the Obama administration thinks, and they're making it harder to fight it. Wrong man at the wrong time.

Power Grab

If Obama's recent power grab was only temporary, like many of his supporters are claiming, why then is his administration refusing to take some of the TARP money back from banks who want to pay it back?

In the early morning hours of July 13, 2008, Soldiers from Chosen Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment were not thinking about medals as they fought off roughly 200 insurgents attacking their vehicle patrol base in Afghanistan.

No Soldier in combat does.

The Army, however, takes pause afterward to honor those who distinguish themselves in battle and recognizes them before their peers.
