Thought Police May Be One Step Closer To Reality

It looks like the term “thought police” just might take on a whole new and real meaning. This depends on what happens in the U.S. Senate after receiving House bill H.R. 1955: Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. This act (now S-1959 — Senate version) is now being considered by Senate committees and, if passed by the Senate and signed by the president, will become law. Common sense would indicate that something this vague and dangerous would not make it out of committee, but considering that the House passed it on October 23 with 404 ayes, 6 nays, and 22 present/not voting, I’m not holding my breath.

The New Crime of Thinking

Open letter to Mike Duncan,The GOP & RNC

From: Joe's Crabby Shack...

(Warning: This post may contain language not usually heard outside a U.S. Navy/Biker/Welder/trucker bar containing my Aunt Nancy.)

To: Mike Duncan, president Republican National Committee
RE: GOP presidential candidates.



Dear Republican Party;

F*** you, Republican Party.

I’m done.

I like to think I’m a forgiving kind of guy, but I’ve had it with the GOP. For years, they’ve known that they can trot whatever asshat they want out there and we, the gunowners, will vote for them.

So, this year they just keep the shit train a rollin’ and give us the commie (Mitt), the Democrat (Rudy), the religious nutbag (Huck) and a candidate who thinks the Bill of Rights is a helpful suggestion but little else (McCain).

I’m not counting Paul because you Republicans don’t want anything to do with him.

The GOP figures it has the gun vote locked up, because look at the alternative… Obama, Hilary, and Edwards.

Guess what, Mr. GOP? Screw you. I’m going third party.

Frankly, I think all Freedom Fiends should, too.

Lest you think this is a Ron Paul stump speech, let me be very clear:

I don’t give a rat’s ass which third party you vote for… just don’t vote mainstream.

Before you waste your time and bandwidth preaching to me about wasting my vote, consider this…

How is voting for McCain, Huck, Mitt, Rudy, Obama, Hilary, or Edwards NOT WASTING MY VOTE?

If any of them are elected (almost assuredly) then I. Am. Screwed. As are you, if you have even the slightest affinity for firearms.

So, let’s spend our votes for a cause.

Don’t stay home, go vote third party.

Vote Paul or Green or Libertarian or Reform or Scientologist… I don’t care.

By voting third party maybe, just maybe, the asshats in power of the Republican party will see that the gun vote is no longer theirs do with as they please. Maybe, just maybe, come 2010 the rat bastards will give us some decent freaking candidates.

God, I feel like the ex-girlfriend that just figured out her ex- only tries to get back together with her long enough to get laid. She keeps taking him back, putting out, then finds him in shower nailing her roommate Cindy.

Enough. I’ve had it.

Tell you what, GOP.

If you decide you want the gun vote back, then get us an honest to God pro-Second Amendment candidate. Give him or her the support you never gave Thompson.

If you prove you really, really care about me and want to stick with me, I might… just might… let you back into my panties.

Until then…. F*** off.

THE LETTER

US District Judge: It's Unfair That Illegals Can't Vote!

Moonbattery has this to say:

U.S. District Judge Stephen Robinson has discarded the concept of "one man, one vote" in Port Chester, New York. According to Robinson, counting votes equally "prevents Hispanic voters from participating equally in the political process in the Village." This is because many of the Hispanics in Port Chester don't vote, since they are not American citizens but rather illegal aliens.


BTW- Illegal supporter, Robinson, was appointed by GW Bush. Imagine that.

Kalifornia is at it AGAIN! - Ticket Motorists on Their Own Property

"Meter maids in Escondido, California will soon be ticketing motorists who park on their own property. The city yesterday gave preliminary approval to an ordinance that authorizes both meter maids and police to ticket any vehicle stopped on private property with two wheels touching a surface that is not approved by the city for parking purposes."

"Lawn parking became an issue after the city council announced its intention to ban overnight parking on city streets, leaving some motorists with no place to leave their automobile. The move could generate as much as $200,000 in parking tickets in addition to revenue from parking permits."

"...the city can immediately collect $40 from "around the clock" ticketing efforts."

"The ordinance also makes a third violation a misdemeanor crime"

Hey Virginia, Scumbag Albo is at it AGAIN!

This is a TRAFFIC LAWYER scumbag who somehow got elected to the Virginia Legislature. Now that he's there, he's been busy writing traffic laws designed to bring himself more business.

WHAT A SCUM BAG!

"Remember the traffic lawyer/legislator who introduced a law imposing a $1050 'abuser fee' on people who drive more than 10 over? He’s at it again."

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated- GOOD RIDDANCE!

All over the news today is the story of Bhutto being assinated. If you read these articles it would seem that this is bad news. It's not, it's actually good news!

Benazir Bhutto was a far left socialist and (as most socialist are) was corrupt as they came. Her fight for democracy was actually a smoke-screen for pushing Pakistan to communism.

She (and her husband) were corrupt as they came. She stole BILLIONS of dollars from Pakistan. She had to flee Pakistan to escape corruption charges. Now, these accusations could be written off as political attacks except that Switzerland acknowledges (and convicted her of) money laundering through Swiss banks AND Poland admits:

"...that Benazir and her husband got $2 million in kickbacks for the purchase of 8,000 tractors in a 1997 deal. These were illegal commissions paid by the tractor company in return for agreeing to their contract."

There's much more evil to this woman than this but you won't see it mentioned in the "BOO HOO" fest that the media outlets are having.

Born Again Redneck has a good post on her.

The world is a better place without her.

8 Questions About Traffic Tickets That Politicians Never Answer

The police and the courts should be funded from general tax revenue, not from the proceeds of exploited citizens.

Why is it that those in power aren’t asking questions like these:

1. How can the courts be viewed as fair and unbiased when much of their operating income is generated from the fines paid by traffic ticket defendants, isn’t there a fairly obvious conflict of interest here?
2. Where’s the ethical justification for the police to issue hundreds or thousands of tickets to motorists who are driving safely and rationally, but in excess of an arguably dangerous and illegal speed limit?
3. What moral objective is being served by charging ticket recipients more money to prevent “points” being applied to their driving record?
4. What is the logic behind fining a driver $300 for running a red light when a police officer issues a ticket, but only $75 when a camera generates the ticket — is the driver getting a break because it’s a lot cheaper for the camera to take a picture then for the cop to write the ticket?
5. Are we really building a better society by heaping fine upon fine and then suspending licenses because the fines aren’t paid?
6. Does it improve the system’s chances of collecting its fines by taking away the defendants ability to find and hold a job?
7. What police officer wants to be thought of as a bagman for the local government, or have his job dictated by how much money he can raise from motorists?
8. What honest judge wants to work in a court system financially dependent on finding defendants guilty?


The classic image of government-endorsed corruption is the “highwayman” with badge and gun extracting money from a compromised traveler with no hope or relief in sight. In the past these scenes were depicted in the wastelands of Mexico, or in the old “Iron Curtain” countries before the Berlin Wall met its deserved end.

How A Red Light Camera Ticket Can Damage Your Credit Without You Knowing It

Bob needed a score of 700 or higher to get the loan, and had it until ACS, a Dallas based company reported an unpaid collection of $100. “My initial reaction was, ‘What could it be?’” asked Bob. “Who is ACS? I don’t have a single dollar owed to a credit card,” he continued. ACS, Affiliated Computer Services, is the private company the City of Dallas hired to run its red light camera program.

As it turns out, several of the cars used by Bob’s company were in his name. Someone driving one of them got a red light ticket in the spring. He didn’t know about the ticket until the collection showed up on his credit report. He still doesn’t know who was behind the wheel. “Was it an employee that had a ticket in the car that thought they could pay it and didn’t want to tell me about it? I don’t know,” said Bob.

According to Fox 4 News, in the first 11 months of Dallas’s red light camera program, ACS and the city reported 11,073 unpaid citations to credit bureaus.

Police DO Have Ticket Quotas...

Here's 8 articles from around the US proving that we have Law Enforcement For Profit.

If You Didn’t Believe Ticket Quotas Existed Before, You Will Now

As If We Didn't Already Know, The Democrats Are TRAITORS!

This Ottoman/Armenian genocide resolution (championed by Nancy Pelosi) proves (once again) that the democrats are traitors to the US. If we look at the situation, it becomes pretty clear...

1) The killings took place about 100 years ago.
2) The killings were done by the ottoman empire (not by Turkey).

If it is SO IMPORTANT for this matter to be made part of our public record, WHY HASN'T THE DEMOCRATS DONE THIS DURING THE PAST 100 YEARS OR SO!?!?!

The only answer as to why they are pushing this resolution now is that THEY ARE TRYING TO ALIENATE TURKEY! Why alienate Turkey? - because:

1) Turkey has been allowing us a route to supply our troops in Iraq.
2) Turkey has been abstaining from fighting the Kurds in Iraq.

This resolution will piss-off Turkey and they will cut off our supply route which will hurt our efforts in Iraq. Thereby hurting our troops and helping the enemy.

And... there is a very good possibility that if we alienate Turkey, they will start fighting the Kurds in Iraq and cause us more troubles.

There is absolutely no good reason for the democrats to pass a resolution condeming the Ottomans and only negative reasons.

PROOF (yet again) that liberals are stupid, evil or both.

Buy Cigarettes In A Neighboring State, Become A Felon (And Lose Your Rights)!

"The Tennessee Department of Revenue said Friday that it will begin conducting surveillance of state-line tobacco retailers in other states, looking for Tennesseans who are buying cigarettes there to avoid taxes.

Tennessee residents may legally possess no more than two cartons of cigarettes without the state tax stamp."

"Possession of more than two cartons but less than 25 cartons is a misdemeanor. Possession of more than 25 cartons of untaxed cigarettes is a Class E felony.

Contraband cigarettes, and any vehicle in which they are transported, are subject to seizure, Farr said."

I'm glad they don't do this with brunswick stew. I buy cases of that stuff when I go home...

Worst injured soldier ever to survive is awarded less than RAF typist with a sore thumb

Ben Parkinson volunteered to serve his country on the Afghan front line - and paid a terrible price.

The young paratrooper suffered a total of 37 terrible injuries when he was blown up by a landmine.

He lost both his legs and sustained grievous damage to his spine, skull, pelvis, hands, spleen and ribcage, leaving him in a coma for months.

Incredibly, 23-year-old Ben is still alive almost a year later - according to his doctors the most badly-injured soldier ever to survive.

Yet as recompense for his ruined life, Ben has been offered only £152,150 - little more than half the maximum award for maimed military personnel and less than a third of the £484,000 doled out to an RAF typist who claimed she had suffered repetitive strain injury to her thumb.


Way to go Britian!

Red Light Camera Corruption, AGAIN!

“My truck crossed the stop line when the light turned red. He (the hearing officer) told me that the stop line is a lateral line parallel to the curb, which is 10 feet farther out (than) where it actually starts,” Hillis says.

For red light cameras, the violation line is an imaginary one – so imaginary that it's missing from the Texas driver's handbook.

Government Wants A 20,000% Raise In Cigar Tax!

The Senate Finance Committee is currently considering a bill that would result in a huge increase in the federal tax on cigars. Currently, the federal tax on cigars is at $0.05. The proposed bill could increase that to as much as $10.00, a 20,000% increase.

The bill is seeking to add $35 billion in funds to the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which helps uninsured children get the healthcare they need. The Senate Plan is to fund the increase in children's healthcare funds by increasing taxes on tobacco products.

TRANSLATION: The bill is seeking to add $35 billion in funds to the general fund, which helps politicians get elected by buying votes and paying off friends they need. The Senate Plan is to fund the increase in general funds by increasing taxes on tobacco products.
