All Your Info Are Belong To Us

Don't go to CARS.gov.

This application provides access to the DoT CARS system. When logged on to the CARS system, your computer is considered a Federal computer system and is the property of the U.S. Government.

Really? Because my computer, all the data and files on it, are NOT property of the U.S. Government. But I'm sure this just much ado about nothing. Making mountains out of molehills and whatever other cliche we can think of. Let's all go back to denying what the government is doing. It's much simpler that way.

Let's Talk

Can someone tell me the point of what our ignorant press has dubbed "Beer Summit"? It's supposed to bring these two guys together and work something out, or something. What is there to work out? A cop arrested a man. That's it. It was Obama who made it about race when he stuck his nose in where it didn't belong. And it's Obama who, by doing this publicity stunt, is trying to keep it about race. Sgt. Crowley isn't a racist. He didn't arrest Prof. Gates because he was black. But Obama when right to racism when he had to give his two cents. Tells us a lot about where his mindset and his thinking is. The only thing that needs to be worked out is Obama making a public apology to Sgt. Crowley and the Cambridge Police Department.

Lack Of Posts

I'm sure some of you have noticed the lack of posts lately. While there are a lot of things going on around this country, and the world, to talk about I just haven't felt the desire to do so. Am I losing my passion for blogging? Not really. Maybe it's that I'm just pissed off at where this country is going I just can't do it. It actually makes me almost physically sick when I think about it. I don't know. It's also that my connections has been crap for almost a year now and some news sites just will not load, so it's hard to get a story when you can't read it. No need to worry though. RWRM won't be going anywhere. It's just a slow spell.

This Week's Hero Was Suggested By Deb

SSgt. Darrell "Shifty" Power
86 years old from Dickerson County, Virginia
E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division
June 17, 2009


The world lost one of it's true heroes a couple of weeks ago. Darrell "Shifty" Powers passed away on June 17 of cancer. "Shifty" was part of the famed E Co/2/506 of the 101st Airborne Division. Easy Company. The Band Of Brothers.

"I loved everything about my daddy," said Margo Johnson, daughter of SSgt. Powers. "He never bragged about what he did in the war. And for a lot of years, he never even talked much about what he did – unless someone asked him about it. But he truly was a hero to me. Just like he'd been to the people who know him as a soldier in a [mini-series]."

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.

Paranoia

My mom thinks her neighbors are criminals. She was out on her porch this morning and was watching them and thought she recognized them from the paper. A local bar/strip club was raided some time back for prostitution and she now thinks the owners of that bar live next door to her. I looked but I can't find a story with their picture so I don't know. But when they first moved in, she thought they were setting up a meth house because the windows were boarded up. I think that thought has since left.

By the way, this bar is nasty. I mean "catch a disease just by walking in" nasty. And they have a website in which they feature a dancer, who happens to advertise on Craigslist. And she's not exactly the kind of woman to want to watch strip.

UPDATE
It's not him. I finally found his mugshot, and it's not her neighbor. But the dancer, it turns out, was also the prostitute and his wife. Ewwwww. Day time soaps ain't got nothing on this town.

Is It 1984 Yet?

"We will stand up in this election to bring about the change that won't just win an election, but will transform America" You're doing a damn good job of that. I hardly recognize this country anymore. We have an economy that's in the tank, we have healthscare, cap and tax, smart grid, government motors, we have a secretary of the treasury that doesn't pay his taxes, a Congress that can't be bothered to read a massive bill before they pass it, we have Obama lackeys, aka czars, who believe in eugenics, forced abortions, population control, human rights for animals, FDR's Second Bill of Rights and the "fairness" doctrine for the internet, we have a government with more power than it's had since maybe FDR and a thousand other things we should be worried about. So a Surgeon General that's overweight is at the bottom of that barrel.

The Words Of Teddy Roosevelt

The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit must now give way to the advocate of human welfare, who rightly maintains that every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.

We grudge no man a fortune in civil life if it is honorably obtained and well used. It is not even enough that it should have been gained without doing damage to the community. We should permit it to be gained only so long as the gaining represents benefit to the community. This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.

And he's a hero to some Republicans, why?

Wednesday Hero

Assoluta Tranquillita did a post a few days ago and after last week's Wednesday Hero felt it would be good to profile Sgt. 1st Class Gabe of the 178th Military Police Detachment, 20th Military Police Battalion, 89th Military Police Brigade. Is it wrong to be jealous of a dog? Be sure to read the Defend America article linked to in the post.

Science Of The Progressives

We’re going to put science in its right place. Is this the first step in that? And this guy isn't accountable to anyone. Not Congress. Not us. He answers only to Obama.

That's One Small Step For Man....

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon -- We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win, and the others, too.

40 years ago, man accomplished one of his most amazing achievements. He launched three human beings into space, landed them on another celestial body, had them walk on it and then he brought them back to Earth. In the list of human accomplishments, the moon landing has to be in the top five. It shows just what we can do when we set our minds to it. And in the 40 years since, how far we have fallen. We went from doing things because they were hard to prove that nothing is impossible to demanding the easy way out. Demanding bailout and government takeovers. And goals? We've set them so low so as to make sure they're easy to obtain. Blood, sweat and tears? No, no, no. Grab a video camera and post some ignorant thing you did online to become an instant "celebrity". Cat playing keyboard. Fat guy lip syncing with headphones. Chocolate rain. That's the goal we set for ourselves today.

I Can't Wait For Government Run Health Care

It all makes perfect sense to me now. It's so simple. I am looking forward to this because the way we're ding it know is the old way. This is the future.

I wonder if Obamacare will be run like Social Security? Because if it is, then it's going to be a massive success.

Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Rodriguez & Jacko
35 years old from Weidman, Michigan
K-9 unit of the 527th Military Police Company, 709th Military Police Battalion, 18th MP Brigade
September 2, 2008


"I asked Greg if anything ever happened to him where he'd prefer to be buried," Sgt. Rodriguez's wife, Laura, told the Morning Sun of Mount Pleasant, "and he told me Arlington, as he wanted to be among the best and the brave."

"Rod," as he was known to his Army buddies, was a Red Wings fan who loved to hassle fans of other hockey teams he met during his military career, said Laura. "Greg loved to push everyone's buttons and get people going with his rare, unique sense of sarcasm," she said. At the same time, her husband, a military police dog handler whose dog, Jacko, survived the fatal ambush, was "a very committed, loyal individual and could be counted on whenever needed."

Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Rodriguez died of wounds suffered in Ana Kalay, Afghanistan, when his mounted patrol came under small-arms fire.

"My brother liked to be the law," said Lisa Dombrowski. "He liked justice. If it wasn't right, he made it right."

He is survived by his sister, wife and three children.

Christmas In July

A little more than six months away. I love Christmas. And now that we're in 100+ degree weather, I want it here ASAP. I need to start planning my layout design. It usually goes through several incarnations before I find the one I like. But it's going to be hard to top last year. That was, I feel, my best one. In fact, I'm thinking about going with it again and maybe making it my permanent design. Not sure.

Glenn Beck's Common Sense

If you haven't picked this book up yet, do so. Everyone should read it. I know Beck wants people to pass it on when they're done with it, and I would do that, but that would mean giving one of you my address and then you'd start stalking me and I'd have to call the cops and get a restraining order that you'd just ignore and we'd end up on a cliff somewhere with you trying to kill me because couldn't have me. It's just too much of a hassle. Just pay the eight or so bucks for your own copy.

Apparently, Cohen's Only Funny When Making Fun Of Middle Americans

Some people just don't like "Bruno". I have to admit, I've never seen "Borat" and I don't plan on seeing "Bruno". Sasha Baron Cohen isn't funny. At all. Ever. I tried to watch "Ali G" but it was ignorant. I do like what John Nolte said at the end of the piece about actually being brave in his next film. But I don't think we'll be seeing anything like those ideas any time soon.

Government To Redesign Recovery.gov

I know what you're thinking. "So what?" Well, the actual redesigning isn't the issue. It's how much it will cost. Dude, I could redesign the website for like, $20. But since it would be taxpayer money, I'll do it for free. You know, so long as it was basic HTML.

Cpl. Reynold Armand
21 years old from Rochester, New York
2nd Assault Amphibian Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force
August 7, 2007


Reynold Armand didn’t want to wait until he turned 18 to join the Marines. He persuaded his adoptive mother to sign papers allowing him to sign up a year early.

"I'm very proud of him," said his father, Carl Armand. "When he was home, he gave no sign of being afraid." Armand didn’t speak much about his experiences in Iraq, according to family members, saying only that most Iraqi civilians he encountered were very nice.

"We used to send him a lot of candy," said his mother, Alma Armand. "He would pass it out."

Manny Rodriguez, 21, of Rochester met Armand five years ago at New Day Church in Rochester, where both young men were members of the youth group. "He was such an amazing all-around person. He was so easy and comfortable to be around. He liked people for who they are."

No definitive report could be found on how Cpl. Armand died. Some report that he was killed when shot and others report that he was killed by an IED that exploded near his vehicle in Balad, Iraq.

Fighting For Our Rights On This Day Of Independence

233 years ago the citizens of this, then, upstart nation were fighting for their independence and their rights. How screwed up is it that today we're having to once again fight for those rights from a government bent on taking them away. Wake up, and stand up people. Remember what exactly it is this day is all about. It's not about grilling burgers and hot dogs. It's not about popping fireworks. It's not about spending the weekend at the lake. It's not about watching a marathon of your favorite tv show or getting the best deal on a car or microwave. It's about taking a stand and not letting our lives be controlled.

God Damned Government

They have to be stopped. I can't think straight. I think I'm having a damned stroke I'm so pissed. $1,000/year. Please, someone, anyone, put an end to this crap.

Obama vs. Change

The Honduran people see their leaders systematically taking away their constitutional rights and they don't like it. Gee, where else is that happening? So they stage a coup and overthrow and oust President/mini-Dictator Zeleya. Obama is outraged. He doesn't like it. So it got me to thinking, where would Obama stand on the American Revolution had he been alive at the time? Would we have Benedict Obama instead of Arnold today?

Force Protection Team


Members of the force protection team at Camp Eggars, Afghanistan, assess damage resulting from an explosion near the gate. A vehicle-born improvised explosive device exploded near the German Embassy and a U.S. base. Eliminating threats such as the VBIED is the focus of Army's 3rd Counter-IED Conference that was scheduled July 28-30.
