Old Duffer Jokes

Oh dem Golden Years!!!

Joke # 1
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems.  He went to the doctor and got a set of hearing aids that allowed him to hear 100%.
He went back to the doctor a month later for a check-up.  The doctor said, “Your hearing is perfect.  Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”
The gentleman replied, “Oh I haven’t told my family yet.  I just sit around and listen to the conversations.  I’ve changed my will three times!”

Joke # 2
An elderly couple were both having trouble remembering things.  Their doctor told them to start writing things down to help them remember.
Later that night while watching TV, the old man gets up and asks, “Want anything while I’m in the kitchen?”  His wife replies, “Will you get me a bowl of ice cream?”
“Sure.”
“I’d like some strawberries on it too. – Maybe you should write it down so you won’t forget.”
“Well I can remember that.  You want some ice cream with strawberries.”
She adds another after thought.  “I’d also like whipped cream.  I’m certain you will forget that, so write it down.”
Irritated, he says, “I don’t need to write it down, I can remember it!  Ice cream with strawberries and whipped cream – I got it!!  Good grief!!!” 
He toddles off to the kitchen and about 15 minutes later he returns and hands his wife a plate of bacon and eggs.
She stares at the plate for a moment – looks up at him and says, “Wheres my toast?”

Joke #5
Morris, an 82 year-old man, went to the doctor to get a physical.  A few days later the doctor saw him walking down the street with a gorgeous young woman on his arm.  A couple of days later, the doctor spoke Morris and said, “You’re really doing great, aren’t you?”
Morris replied, “Just doing what you said Doc – ‘Get a hot mama and be cheerful’, just like you said.”
The doctor said, “I didn’t say that.  I said, ‘You’ve got a heart murmur, be careful!”

Monkeys Anyone??

Once upon a time, Oh not so long ago, a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers knew there were many,  many monkeys around, so they went out into the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands of monkeys at $10 each,  and as the monkey supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts.   The man then  announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers, and they started catching monkeys again and selling them to the man.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people stopped monkey catching and started going back to their farms. The man increased the offer to $25 each, and as the supply of monkeys had became very scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each!  However, the man said that he had to go to the city on business, therefore his assistant would buy the monkeys as his agent.  After the man left,  the assistant said to the villagers:

“Look at all these monkeys in this big cage that the man has already collected.  I will sell  these monkeys to you at $35 each, and when the man returns from the city, you can easily sell them to him for $50 each.”

The villagers sold everything they owned and rounded up all their savings with which they bought all the monkeys for a mere 700 billion dollars (American).

The man never returned and his assistant disappeared too with all the money.  The villagers looked and looked and only saw thousands and thousands of their new bought (now hungry) monkeys.

You now  have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUT plan really works!!!!

Enjoy your monkeys folks!!!

“Global Warming” and “Mania”

The Etymology of the word Mania is as follows:

c.1400, “mental derangement characterized by excitement and delusion,” from L.L. mania “insanity, madness,” from Gk. mania “madness,” related to mainesthai “to rage, go mad,” mantis “seer,” menos “passion, spirit,” all from PIE *men- “to think, to have one’s mind aroused, rage, be furious” (see mind (n.)). Sense of “fad, craze” is 1689, from Fr. manie. Used since 1500s (in imitation of Gk.) as the second element in compounds expressing particular types of madness (cf. nymphomania, 1775; kleptomania, 1830; megalomania, 1890).

The nonsense and fear mongering currently underway under the name “global warming” is plainly ridiculous.  While all kinds of “authorities” including and especially political proclaim that if you don’t give them free reign over your property and liberties then YOU will have caused destruction of planet Earth by “global warming”.  While much hoopla is made in the media in support of this and how everybody (meaning Americans) have to lower their lifestyles to 1400 AD to “save the planet, one notices when do these people quote actual numbers?

Carbon Dioxide is now the enemy of the planet.  An evil gas causing green house effects.  Of course plants require carbon dioxide to live.  Eliminate carbon dioxide 100% and we all starve to death for lack of tofu  and vege-ies while suffocating from lack of oxygen, since plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen needed by mankind (and also by our precious Spotted Owls).  Shocking as it may seem Spotted Owls would die without oxygen !!  Gaea  forbid!!

(Note: Gaea  is the ancient Greek  goddess of the Earth, who bore and married Uranus and became the Mother of the Titans and the Cyclopes.  Gaea is the joyous image around which the popular mandatory public school occasion called Earth Day is celebrated ).

Naturally, we don’t use “Heaven forbid” in popular speech anymore since this would be mingling corrupt religion with True Science which is often done by radical religious right wing Christian extremists toting handguns.

Now it is interesting that one can in fact find out the percentage of Carbon Dioxide there is in the atmosphere.  A percentage number never quoted by “global warming” promoters to my knowledge.

Below is the cover of a US Military Technical Manual  TM 1-325 entitled “Aerostatics”.

 

 

Below is the Title Page and Table of contents of the manual.  Note the publishing date of October 1, 1940.

 

Below is page 6 of this manual.

 

 

Note from page 6 that “aerostatics…deals with floatation of lighter-than-air aircraft by the buoyancy arising from the differences in weight between the air and inflating gas used….”.  To be able to compute the buoyancy you must first know the “…weight of air…” i.e. the weight of the atmosphere around the Earth.  The weight of the “…air…” varies with air temperature, humidity and height above sea level.  For initial computations one uses “…..mean sea level under average conditions, excluding water vapor….”.

Then is given the numbers in percent of significant gases in the Earths atmosphere under the conditions specified.  In October 1, 1940 Nitrogen composed 78% of the Earths’ atmosphere under the conditions specified.  Now observe Carbon Dioxide.  In October 1, 1940 Carbon Diode composed 0.03% of the Earths’ atmosphere under the conditions specified.  That is 3 hundredths of  1%.

No mention has been made of this number in the hype speeches on “global warming” or the pseudo-News media.  Consider now World War 2.  Thousands of ships at sea all burning either diesel fuel or coal.  No global warming seems to have suddenly struck the planet.  Cities bombed into burning rubble without planet disruptiuon.  Thousands upon thousands of aircraft flying burning high test gasoline.  Dropping bombs to cause burning of forests, grass lands and jungles.  Dresden Germany burnt to a crisp.  40% of Tokyo destroyed in a giant firestorm.  The US B29 bomber had 4 engines.  Each engine had 24 pistons. All burnt high test aviation gasoline (about 145 octane).    The US alone made 1000 plane B29 raids on German cities.  No global warming appearing.  All nations launching bombers and making bombing raids.  Millions of rounds of artillery shells fired all burning smokeless gunpowder along with probably billions of small arms fired burning the same.  No global warming.  Battleships firing 16 inch guns, cruisers firing 8 inch guns, destroyers firing 3 inch guns.  Flamethrowers used against suicide fighters in caves, buildings and other spots.  Factories spewing out Carbon Dioxide in welding production.  Coal fired plants burning  coal to provide war production to the factories each of whom tries to operate 24 hours a day.  All the above happening all at once (for the US) over 4 years.  No “global warming” catastrophe over the globe.

Note that if Carbon Dioxide increased in the atmosphere all weather balloons would need less Helium gas to lift their loads since the density of the atmosphere would have increased with the Carbon Dioxide.  Powered aircraft would have new lift capacity flying in the increased density air and smaller wings could be used in their design.  No pilots seem to have said that their aircraft now flew “differently with mnore lift” even with the modern “massive increases of Carbon Dioxide” (given without a percentage number) the “end of the world” predictors are screaming about.

And now we operate some coal plants and the world is dying (or trying to) with “global warming”.   We must eliminate automobiles.  Electricity in American homes may be evil.

Suppose the entire Earth atmosphere has a doubling of Carbon Dioxide gas and it then becomes 6 hundredths of 1% of the atmosphere.  It is a very unstable system where 6 hundredths of 1% can cause destruction on the entire system.  Earth would have been destroyed just from large volcanic eruptions.

In 1883, on a small island in Indonesia, between Java and Sumatra a volcano erupted.  It is considered the greatest explosion in the recorded history of man.  The volcano essentially turned to powdery dust and went into the upper atmosphere.  The sound of the explosion traveled around the entire planet.  The dust masked the suns rays from reaching the earths surface.  1884 was the year of “no spring”.  In the Midwest of the US it simply snowed for more than a year.  People froze to death or starved.  Oddly enough, “global warming” seems not to have occurred. 

The next time your hear about “global warming” ask the hyping speaker what is the current percentage of Carbon Dioxide under “…..mean sea level under average conditions, excluding water vapor….”.  Compare the number (I’ve never had any of them give me one) to 3 Hundredths  of 1 % of October 1, 1940.  Gosh, them poor helpless Spotted Owls!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Bill Ayers, Obama’s…well whatever

Dis is a postin bout Bill Ayers who is in de news taday Friday, 11/14/2008.  He is now out talkin bout Obama n de “radicals” dat tried ta link him to Obama durin de election campaign.

Bill Ayers told ABC News’ “Good Morning America”:    ”…. accused his critics on Friday of trying to ‘exploit the politics of fear’ by encouraging others to dig into their relationship. 

The co-founder of the Weather Underground, which carried out bombings at the Pentagon and the Capitol, also defended his violent past, repeating a line he has said before: ’I don’t think we did enough.’ ”

Ayers is quoted in de News:    “Ayers and Obama served on a Chicago school reform group and a foundation board, and Ayers hosted a meet-and-greet for Obama more than a decade ago.”

“But Ayers says in a new afterword to his memoir that he and Obama were neighbors and ‘family friends.’ 

Ayers’ reflections appear in a new paperback release of his 2001 memoir, “Fugitive Days.” The Associated Press obtained a copy of the new afterword Thursday. 

‘In 2008 there was a lot of chatter on the blogosphere about my relationship with Barack Obama: we had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fundraiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign,’Ayers writes.”

“Ayers lives a few blocks from Obama on Chicago’s South Side with his wife, former fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn. 

Ayers writes that Obama’s enemies saw their connections as a chance to ‘deepen a dishonest narrative about him.’

‘That he is somehow un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism,’ Ayers writes. ”

So dats all frum tadays News sources.  He ain’t “….un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism. ” cuz he said so.  Read bout dis guy below.

Ah remember him sayin dat aftah de Communist Revolution dat bout 20 million Americans couldnt be “re-educated” n would need ta be liquidated.  Aparrently dat ain’t bein “radical” dese days.

 

De stuff bout Bill Ayers below is copied from de Internet site

http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2169

 

“Born in 1944, Bill Ayers, along with his wife Bernardine Dohrn, was a 1960s leader of the homegrown terrorist group Weatherman, a Communist-driven splinter faction of Students for a Democratic Society. Characterizing Weatherman as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.”

Today Ayers is a professor of education and a Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois. He has also authored a series of books about parenting and educating children, including: A Kind and Just Parent; To Become a Teacher; City Kids; City Teachers; To Teach; The Good Preschool Teacher; Zero Tolerance: Resisting the Drive for Punishment in Our Schools; and Teaching Towards Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom. 

In his 2001 screed, Fugitive Days, Ayers recounts his life as a Sixties radical, his tenure as a Weatherman lieutenant, his terrorist campaign across America, and his enduring hatred for for the United States. “What a country,” Ayers said in 2001. “It makes me want to puke.”

Ayers was an active participant in Weatherman’s 1969 “Days of Rage” riots in Chicago, where nearly 300 members of the organization employed guerrilla-style tactics to viciously attack police officers and civilians alike, and to destroy massive amounts of property via vandalism and arson; their objective was to further spread their anti-war, anti-American message. Reminiscing on those riots, Ayers says pridefully: ”We’d … proven that it was possible – we didn’t all die, we were still there.”

A substantial portion of Ayers’ book Fugitive Days discusses the author’s penchant for building and deploying explosives. Ayers boasts that he “participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.” Of the day he bombed the Pentagon, Ayers says, “Everything was absolutely ideal. … The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.”

On another occasion, Ayers stated: ”There’s something about a good bomb … Night after night, day after day, each majestic scene I witnessed was so terrible and so unexpected that no city would ever again stand innocently fixed in my mind. Big buildings and wide streets, cement and steel were no longer permanent. They, too, were fragile and destructible. A torch, a bomb, a strong enough wind, and they, too, would come undone or get knocked down.”

All told, Ayers and Weatherman were responsible for 30 bombings aimed at destroying the defense and security infrastructures of the U.S.  “I don’t regret setting bombs, said Ayers in 2001, ”I feel we didn’t do enough.”

In 1970, Ayers’ then-girlfriend Diana Oughton, along with Weatherman members Terry Robbins and Ted Gold, were killed when a bomb they were constructing exploded unexpectedly. That bomb had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plan been successfully executed. Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, “tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.”

After the death of his girlfriend, Ayers and his current wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spent the 1970s as fugitives running from the FBI.

In 1974 Ayers co-authored –along with Dohrn, Jeff Jones, and Celia Sojourn — a book titled Prairie Fire. This book contained the following statements:

• “We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men … deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against U.S. imperialism.”
• “Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside.”
• “The only path to the final defeat of imperialism and the building of socialism is revolutionary war.”
• “Revolutionary war will be complicated and protracted. It includes mass struggle and clandestine struggle, peaceful and violent, political and economic, cultural and military, where all forms are developed in harmony with the armed struggle.”
• “Without mass struggle there can be no revolution. 
  Without armed struggle there can be no victory.”
• “We need a revolutionary communist party in order to lead the struggle, give coherence and direction to the fight, seize power and build the new society.”
• “Our job is to tap the discontent seething in many sectors of the population, to find allies everywhere people are hungry or angry, to mobilize poor and working people against imperialism.”
• “Socialism is the total opposite of capitalism/imperialism. It is the rejection of empire and white supremacy. Socialism is the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie, the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and the eradication of the social system based on profit.”

In 1980 Ayers and Dohrn surrendered to law-enforcement authorities, but all charges against them were later dropped due to an “improper surveillance” technicality — government authorities had failed to get a warrant for some of their surveillance. Ayers’ comment on his life, as reported by Peter Collier and David Horowitz in their authoritative chapter on Weatherman in Destructive Generation, was this: “Guilty as sin, free as a bird, America is a great country.”  

Notwithstanding his violent past, Ayers today does not describe himself as a terrorist. “Terrorists destroy randomly,” he reasons, “while our actions bore … the precise stamp of a cut diamond. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate.” 

In Fugitive Days, Ayers reflects on whether or not he might use bombs against the U.S. in the future. ”I can’t imagine entirely dismissing the possibility,” he writes.

In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate.

In 1995 Ayers — whose stated educational objective is to “teach against oppression” as embodied in “America’s history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation” — founded a “school reform organization” called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC). He appointed Obama as the group’s first chairman.

When National Review Online writer Stanley Kurtz in 2008 reviewed the CAC archives at the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois, he found that Ayers had been one of five members of a working group that assembled the initial CAC board which hired Obama.

“Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit,” Kurtz wrote. “No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval.” According to Kurtz, the CAC archives show that Obama and Ayers worked as a team to advance the foundation’s agenda – with Obama responsible for fiscal matters while Ayers focused on shaping educational policy. The archived documents further reveal that Ayers served as an ex-officio member of the board that Obama chaired through CAC’s first year; that Ayers served with Obama on the CAC governance committee; and that Ayers worked with Obama to write CAC’s bylaws.

A September 2008 WorldNetDaily report offers still more details: “Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Obama. Ayers also spoke for the Chicago School Reform Collaborative before Obama’s board, while Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the collaborative … According to the documents, the CAC granted money to far-leftist causes, such as the radical Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, which …has done work on behalf of Obama’s presidential campaign.”

WorldNetDaily reports further that “while Obama chaired the board of the CAC, more than $600,000 was granted to an organization founded by Ayers and run by Mike Klonsky, a former top communist activist. Klonsky was leader of the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party, which was effectively recognized by China as the all-but-official U.S. Maoist party.”

In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the latter left the Woods board in December 2002. Ayers went on to become Woods’ Chairman of the Board. In 2002 the Woods Fund made a grant to Northwestern University Law School’s Children and Family Justice Center, where Ayers’ wife, Bernardine Dohrn, was employed.

At a 2007 reunion of former members of the Weather Underground and Students for a Democratic Society, Ayers painted a verbal portrait of life in the United States which included the following passages:

• “This is a time not only of great stress and oppression and authoritarianism, and a kind of rising incipient American form of fascism, and what the government counts on, what the powerful count on, is that we will stay quiet. It’s the idea that we can tolerate these intolerable things without screaming, without somehow coming out, joining up and coming out and saying something. It’s what they count on in terms of keeping things under control.”
• “Empire resurrected and unapologetic, war without end, an undefined enemy that’s supposed to be a rallying point for a new kind of energized jingoistic patriotism, unprecedented and unapologetic military expansion, white supremacy changing its form, but essentially intact, attacks on women and girls, violent attacks, growing surveillance in every sphere of our lives, on and on and on, the targeting of gay and lesbian people as a kind of a scapegoating gesture to keep our minds off of what’s really happening.”

And here is how Ayers characterized himself and the longtime radical comrades to whom he was speaking:

“Even though we think of ourselves as political, we weren’t politicians. We were people who had a moral vision of what was possible. And when we talk, for example, about health care, about peace, we’re talking a language of ethics, not a language of instrumentalism or opportunism, or what we might get. So we have to speak in a language that’s large and generous and encompassing. And then we have to act.”

Dorhn and Ayers have two children, whom they named Malik (the Muslim name of Malcolm X) and Zayd. Zayd’s namesake is Zayd Shakur, a Black Panther killed while driving the radical JoAnne Chesimard (a.k.a. Assata Shakur) to a hideout — the resulting traffic stop shootout ended in the murder of a New Jersey State Trooper. The former Weather Underground terrorists also raised Chesa Boudin because his natural parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were serving lengthy prison sentences for their roles in the Brinks murders, a joint Weatherman and Black Liberation Army operation in which two police officers and an armed guard were killed. Unlike Ayers, Dohrn actually spent time in prison as a result of their terrorist activities — a contempt citation for refusing to honor a grand jury subpoena in the Brinks investigation.”

 

 

Wonderful Willie, Dat is how we gonna gits our Socialism.  Don’t ya love “bailouts” ta gives ya de Golden Calf a prosperity?  Ain’t Socialism says de News.

 

Nationalizing n “The Bailout”

Ah listens ta whut is bein said on de News bout Obama n “bailouts”.  Stuff de Federal Guv’mint ain’t doin is “bailouts”, its Nationalizing industries.  Course de big Bank “bailouts” has de Federal Guv’mint buyin Prefered Bonds in dese banks which bonds has no votin power a who runs de show.  Dat leaves all de Executives n Ceo’s n bank officers in der jobs whut botched de bank managin in de furst place.  Dat caused de need fo doin de “bailout” in de furst place.  Dese fellas says dey gonna git it right now wid taxpayer billions since dey now knows how NOT ta do de managin n bustin de bank usin private bank funds.  Betcha ya believes em on dat one.  Congress sho did.  De bums runnin everythin needin taxpayer “bailouts” is all stayin whur dey is sos dey kin “try again” n hopefully make a profit wid out bustin de Federal Treasury….. maybe.  Aftah all, unlimited funds is available by Federal Taxation right?  Addin up whuts already been plundered frum de Federal Treasury wid out inny mo “bailouts” is dat de current total is 2 Trillion dollahs.  Course dat means sellin some country or countries in de world 2 Trillion dollahs a Guv’mint bonds ta do de “bailouts”.  Ain’t no country or suckers gonna buy em so’s dey is just addin zero’s electronicly wid computers ta checks mailed to de “bailed out boys”.  Easy dat way.  Course dats 2 Trillion dollahs added to de money in circulation.  Not printin just computer tack-ons.  Real simple ta do n cheap to.  No printin, no ink spent, no “po woodland trees” killed ta make de money paper.  Environmentalists loves dis easy method.  Guess whut….. ah kinda figures dats called inflation a de currency.  Cheapen up de dollah.  Basicly inflation robs dem dat saved dollahs a de purchasin power a de dollahs dey saved.  Destroys savin dollahs since its a sucker play.  Inflation ain’t just gonna raise taxes ta payback de amount, its gonna rob folks a der savins.  Dats why Guv’mints loves it.  Yer wages goes up cuz ya gits mo worthless dollahs n ya gits in de past.  Prosperity wid numbers.  Look at all de mo ya earnin says de Guv’mint.  Lots a added zeros to de currency needed ta buy a ham sandwich too.

Now de first folks dat spends inflation currency gits de best buys cuz de inflated supply don’t make prices go up right immediate.  Takes a while fo folks ta kitch on.  So dis now mo worthless paper gits a good buy at de ol buyin price whin de price wuz lower.  Gonna be costin huge amounts a paper dollahs once de whole batch a 2 Trillion mo worthless currency gits circulatin.  Usually de Guv’mints wut inflates makes de profit frum savins robbin.  Dey usually inflates n den spends furst.

De big Bank “bailout” is now reported to a gone to only 9 big Banks in de US.  All a de money not just sum a it.  Dese big Banks does 55 % a de bankin business n gits 100% a de “bailout” bucks.  De other 45% a de banks gits nuthin.  Since it wuz promised dat dis “bailout” a de banks gonna make prosperity flow like  milk n honey agin, guess lettin 45% a de bank industry fail ain’t gonna hurt de big time new prosperity none.  Just de 9 Big Boy Banks gonna buy up all de little banks wid taxpayer bucks.  Prosperity is heah ta stay wid 9 banks workin fine.  Dats de promise. 

Ah gots me a 1 Dollah paper silver cirtificate dat promises ta pay ta de  bearer 1 dollah in silver on demand.  Ain’t no time limit on dat promise nether.  Its just a lie is all.  Guv’mint repudiated de pledge a doin it.  Bet we gits even mo prosperous if just 1 bank gits ta doin 100% a de American bankin business.  Let de other 8 big banks fail wid no “bailout” funds.  Only give ta J. P. Morgan n Trust taxpapayer “bailout” bucks whin all de 9 Big Banks discovah dat dey just paid too large salaries n pensions n golden parachutes ta de same old crooks dat done it befo.  Make em happy.  Let J. P. Morgan run de prosperity n be done wid it.

Now a course all de “bailout” bucks to un-crunch de credit wut is currently crunched is only fixin old problems.  New ones is poppin up daily.  De American automobile makers fo example.  2 Trillion a “bailouts” just ain’t enuff ta un-crunch things fo dem.  Now my question is  “Whut is an American car maker” inny how?  Chrisler autos has de engines made in Mexico, de transmissions made in Germany n de car bodies made in Canada.  Dis is called an American car cuz de Detroit autoworkers tightens de lug nuts.  Toyota ain’t a American car maker cuz de factories is heah in America, n de workers is Americans, but sum a de money profits goes ta Japan.  Just ain’t fair doin dat.  Ain’t no American company at all.  Gotta save de American auto industry (whut evah dat is) wid hundreds a billions a dollahs a Taxpayer bucks.  Yes Suh, dats de new way a doin business in America.  Everybody on welfare includin de biggest companies wid American labels on em.  Little bit a dat welfare gonna trickle down to ya, ya know.  Dis is de trickle down on ya welfare system now.  Got ta be incorporated wid friends in Washington ta gits de big bucks tho.

Ah think if yo is smart ya gonna git some garden seeds dat reproduce mo seeds.  No hybrid type plants.  Ya all gonna need em whin de buck goes ta bein used only fo heatin de tin can ta cook dem vegetables wid.

Sir William Blackstone (originally pronounced Blexstun) (10 July 1723 – 14 February 1780) was an English jurist and professor who produced the historical and analytic treatise “Commentaries on the Laws of England”, first published in four volumes over 1765–1769. It had an extraordinary success, reportedly bringing the author £14,000, and still remains an important source on classical views of the common law and its principles.

As ah has spoken of somethings which have ta do wid law, and as American Law can be traced thru English Law, it is most instructive ta read de first compiled and organized book on English Law published just befo de American Revolution, Sir William Blackstone’s Commentaries on de Laws of England.  It wuz furst sold only by subscription.  Ya had ta signup n pay fo de books befo dey wuz printed.  Dat way de printer is sho a makin a profit.  He didn’t originally figure gonna print much a dese things.  He only printed when de moneys is sufficient fo doin so.  Dere is 4 volumes to Blackstones original.  Each came out by subscription so de whole set got printed frum 1765 ta 1769 for de last volume.  One book at a time bein subscribed.  Whuts interestin is de 1^st edition wuz printed in England, but Americans ordered mo a dem dan de folks in England do.  Made Americans mo knowledgeable bout English Law den de folks in England is.  Dats why Americans squawked so loud bout de King violatin de Law, dey knows mo den a lotta folks in England whut oughta bout de Laws a England.  Led to de American Revolution.  (By de way, in England it’s called De American Insurrection).  Lotta stuff in Blackstone ain’t applicable to American Law since it’s got a lot to do wid de rights a de Crown.  All such gits pitched wid de Colonies bein successful wid de “Insurrection”.  If ya wins it’s a Revolution.  If ya looses it’s an Insurrection.  Book I is really good.  Foundations a Law n basic stuff. Fo example:

The RIGHTS OF PERSONS; BOOK I; Chapter 1.

“….they are, reciprocally, the rights as well as duties of each other. Allegiance is the right of the magistrate, and protection the right of the people.”

 

Ah mentioned dis earlier in another posting on dis Blog.  Duties n rights is reciprocal.  Abortin babies on pregnant womans whim as a Law, means de abortion survivors wut wasn’t protected frum it by Civil Guv’mints has dere duty a allegiance to de Civil Guv’mint wut promotes it  severed.  No protection a life no duty a allegiance.

Now de problem wid Obama is mighty clear.  Dis fella is pledged ta do stuff dat destroys duties n rights.  Ain’t no power given in de Constitution ta do dat.

Ah mention in another Blog bout “gun control” (which it ain’t, its mo den dat) n it bein a reduction to de classic definition a slavery.  Some folks argues dat “well de Police is heah to protect ya.  Ya don’t need no guns”.  Folks, dat ain’t true.  De Police is NOT in existence ta protect ya.  Reason is pretty clear, when de country wuz founded dere wuzn’t no such thing as Police.  Furst idea n creation of a Police force comes bout in England in de 1830’s.  Fella by de name a Robert Peal promotes n gits de furst Police force goin in London.  Police is called dere “Bobbies” aftah Peals furst name “Robert” as a consequence.  Robert Peal gits knighted fo dis idea by Queen Victoria n becomes “Sir Robert Peal”.

Furst Police force in de USA is in New York City, bout 1852 ah think, tho could be wrong on de exact date.  Lotta Irish immigrants signs up ta be Policemen cuz dey is comin (legally mind ya) into de USA ta escape de Great Irish Potatoe Blight dat causes famine at de time in Ireland.  Now de idea a de Police isn’t ta protect ya, it is to aid ya in protectin yo self, which by law ya gots de right ta do.  Protect Life n Limb, yo Liberties n yo Property.  Police is part a de Guv’mint helpin ta keep dem things protected.  Perfect idea in keepin wid de duties a Guv’mint.

Since de Guv’mint ain’t promising ta protect ya frum crime wid Police, but just aid ya in protectin yo self, why dere is no legal obligation aginst de Guv’mint if ya is de victim of a crime.  Ya can’t sue de local Guv’mint fo “failure to protect” if ya is a crime victim.  Dey gots no duty ta do dat, only help ya protect yo self.  Any city dat says de Police is dere to protect ya n puts dat in writin would be bankrupt in a year wid “failure to protect” law case winnins.  Even wid de Police think a all de crimes dat committed in a city.  Imagine a law suit fo each crime done in a city.  Dey be broke real quick if de crime victim kin prove he is a crime victim n de Guv’mint  has a duty thru Police ta protect ya.  Jury find fo de victim every time if Guv’mint has a duty to protect by law.  Ain’t no such Law n de Guv’mint is off de hook as a consequence n ain’t goin broke hirin 50 trillion lawyers ta defend against all dem Lawsuits.

Next time folks says dat ya don’t need weapons fo defendin yo Life n Limbs, yo Liberties n yo Property tell em dis stuff above.  Mighty obvious once ya knows bout it.

Illegal Aliens n Willies Solution ta Stop Em

Illegal Aliens

Big subject n not much bein done.  Folks comin inter de country by droves, by passin de entrance stations on de border.  Illegal entry.  Getting forged n phony ID.  Big business in supplyin dat.  Identity theft cause a it.  Stealin a American folks personal ID.

 Ah had mine stolen.  Lost my drivers license, social security card, voters registration card, personal check book, drug prescription,  car insurance card, etc.  Burglary a my car at night 25 feet from my bedroom in front a my rural home.  Other stuff stolen too, but de ID is all saleable.

How come de Federal Guv’mint can’t control de southern border wid Mexico?  Because dey don’t want to.  Lotta folks makin money off de illegals.  Drug trafficin ta start wid.  Voter fraud cuz ya gots lots a folks who nobody knows who dey are.  Increased hospital care n emergency care required.  Increased police force n mo crime since lotta dese folks don’t bring a dime wide em.  Importation of a personal belief in lawlessness since dats whut it takes ta git here dat way.  De main motivation bein ta earn money.  Lots a ways ta do dat, legal n illegal.

Now if de U.S. Guvmint employees aftah years a demonstratin dere incompetence n can’t control de border den ah figures maybe we oughta hire folks dats gots proven experience a being good border guards in knowin just how ta do it.  Lotta former East German border guards available.  Maybe spent dere whole life guardin de East German border.  Nobody illegally gittin in n nobody gittin out either.  Dey gots experience workin it both ways n nobody ever said dey lets droves a folks meander round cross de East German border.  Lots a dese gots a stigma on em now dat East Germany is gone  n merged wid West Germany.  Pay em a good  premium n bring em over heah n we gonna have de top notch border guards a de world right dere on de US/Mexico line.  Might even gits em ta come wid dere old East German Uniforms.  Won’t have ta supply dere Guard clothes dat way.  Big savins dere.

Now de US Guv’mint payin ta chank link fence off bout 2000 miles a border.  Ain’t too swift a thought.  We gotta git a known good border blocker.  Ah kinda figures maybe we could buy de plans from Germany a de East/West border fencing method dey used.  Already showed it ain’t experimental n worked real good.  Just buyin architecture plans minds ya.  Course der might be some experienced East German construction workers available dat knows how ta build de thing right.  No molly-coddlin make shift ne’er-do-well fencing heah.  Proven good stuff.

De Berlin wall been torn down too.  Probably tucked away in a German warehouse sumplace.  (Germans never throw innything away).  Could just buy dat one n ship him over heah n set him up.  Real good wall too.  Might be missin a few parts but dats wut we buys Red Chinese epoxy fo.  Fixin things like dat.  Fillup de chink holes wid epoxy n set him up good n solid.  Reverse engineer mo war ta build from dat good one.  Maybe build 2000 miles a Berlin wall wid East German border guards n towers all along it.

Now we could also gits some South Koreans.  Dey is good at guardin borders.  Lotsa practice keepin North Korean Army outa downtown Soul.  Betcha dey would sign up ta help guard de US/Mexico border.  Say frum  New Mexico n Texas part.  East Germans gits de tuff part, Arizona n California border.  Dey knows how ta handle tuff stuff like dat.  Our guys kin watch n learn frum dese pro’s too.

Couse since we gonna buy all de fencing n wall materials frum Red China like everythin else bein sold heah, why ah figures we just adds on a few extras.  Landmines.  Red Chinese landmines is de best buy in de world.  $2.50 US each.  Dey lasts 20 years n are called “silent sentries” since dey works 24 hours a day doin it.  Not bad fo a border guard, $2.50 US fo 20 years 24 hours a day guardin.  Even de worlds po nations uses Red Chinese landmines on der borders.  We bein behind in de “border landmine race”.  Shucks $5 million US gits us 2.5 million land mines.  Wid de elongated Berlin wall, landmines n East German border guards on towers all cross de Arizona n California border wid Mexico, ain’t gonna be a live Heala Monster make it cross wid out checkin in at a entry station.

Dats my take on de Illegal Alien problem innyhow.

Slavery n Obama

A few comments on slavery heah.

Ovah 3,000 years there has been an obvious mark a slavery in all different cultures n pagan religions.

What’s de great mark a slavery?  Well de great mark is dat slaves cannot own a weapon accordin to de Law a de place.  A citizen or legitimate member a de society could own a weapon.  In ancient (and even more modrin) pagan cultures, if a slave gits in possession of a weapon den standard practice was to kill him on de spot.  Slave wid hands on a weapon generally perceived as startin (or gittin ready to start) a slave uprisin.  Christian societies required dat a slave be arrested n tried but not summarly killed as in pagan  societies.

 

Now generally de symbol a freein a slave is to publicly have authorized authority present him wid a weapon or a symbol a one.  Dis showin dat since he now legally has a weapon a his own, n dat he is a now a free man.  Dis was shown in a recent movie  called “The Gladiator”.  Head a the group trainin de Roman slaves ta be gladiators shows de trainee slaves dat de Roman Emperor presented him wid a wooden sword wid his name on it.  He show de sword to de trainees n tells em if dey does good in the arena dey might be given der freedom if dey lives thru it.

 

De converse a dis wuz dat if legally a man loses his right ta own a weapon by a public declaration or public removal frum him, den he is bein reduced to almost a slave.  Won’t be long befo he is one too.  A man widout de right to own a weapon can’t defend his liberty by dat very fact.  Somebody come along who can own a weapon can grab him up n sell him into slavery.  If he tries ta defend his liberty by pickin up a weapon de de gabbin up party could usually kill him right der in pagan cultures.  Wid out de right ta own a weapon yo liberty is gone real quick n ya ends up in slavery wid somebody makin a profit who sells ya inter it.

 

Dis is wheah ah is mighty worried about President Elect Obama.  He pledged ta implement “gun control” if elected.  Now since de President ain’t got no legally authority under de Constitution to do dat why ah wonders how he gonna git it done.  But “gun control” is no mo den de ancient practice a publicly denyin folks ta ownin a weapon.  Dat is a reduction to almost slavery n soon gonna be de real thing.  Wid out dat ya can’t defend yo liberty, much less yo life n property.  3,000 years a history showed dat one.

 

Wut did William Blackstone say bout dis?

Sir William Blackstone (1723-1780) 4 Volumes – 1st edition

The RIGHTS OF PERSONS; BOOK I; Chapter 1.

“THE fifth and last auxiliary right of the subject, that I shall at present mention, is that of having arms for their defence, suitable to their condition and degree, and such as are allowed by law. Which is also declared by the same statute 1 W. & M. ft. 2. c. 2. and is indeed a public allowance, under due restrictions, of the natural right of resistance and self-preservation, when the sanctions of society and laws are found insufficient to restrain the violence of oppression.

 

IN these several articles consist the rights, or, as they are frequently termed, the liberties of Englishmen : liberties more generally talked of, than thoroughly understood ; and yet highly necessary to be perfectly known and considered by every man of rank or property, lest his ignorance of the points whereon it is founded should hurry him into faction and licentiousness on the one hand, or a pusillanimous indifference and criminal submission on the other. And we have seen that these rights consist, primarily, in the free enjoyment of personal security, of personal liberty, and of private property. So long as these remain inviolate, the subject is perfectly free ; for every species of compulsive tyranny and oppression must act in opposition to one or other of these rights, having no other object upon which it can possibly be employed. To preserve these from violation, it is necessary that the constitution of parliaments be supported in its’ full vigor ; and limits certainly known, be set to the royal prerogative. And, lastly, to vindicate these rights, when actually violated or attacked, the subjects of England are entitled, in the first place, to the regular administration and free course of justice in the courts of law ; next to the right of petitioning the king and parliament for redress of grievances ; and lastly to the right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defence. And all these rights and liberties it is our birthright to enjoy entire ; unless where the laws of our country have laid them under necessary restraints. Restraints in themselves so gentle and moderate,  will appear upon farther enquiry, that no man of sense or probity would wish to see them slackened. For all of us have it in our choice to do everything that a good man would desire to do ; and are restrained from nothing, but what would be pernicious either to ourselves or our fellow citizens.”

Dats de way English law wuz in 1760’s.  Americans wuz just Englishmen livin outside England n in North America.  All de rights a Englishmen applied in America to dese colonial Englishmen.  Dat is de cause a de American Revolution in de nut shell.  De King (George III) stompin on de rights a Englishmen in America but not stompin on em in England.  Many Englishmen in England supported de Colonies since dey figures if de King do it to Englishmen in America (3000 miles from England) den de next place gonna be in de streets a London.

Remember dis;  “….the right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defence. And all these rights and liberties it is our birthright to enjoy entire.”   

Whut rights n liberties?  “…..the free enjoyment of personal security, of personal liberty, and of private property. So long as these remain inviolate, the subject is perfectly free ….”

Dats why we gots de 2^nd amendment to de Constitution.  Cuz dey didn’t have dis stuff in de Constitution.  As originally written it was faulty n needed amendin.

U.S. Constitution; Amendment II (adopted 1791)

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Who’s in de militia?  Every citizen a de country dats who.  De organized militia is now called de National Guard (each State havin one). De un-organzed militia is everybody else.  Every citizen is in de militia n kin be armed to

Reduction ta slavery by de so called “gun control” methods Obama is talkin bout implimentin ‘pears ta be an infringement on de Amendment II n violates it grossly.

“…to vindicate these rights, when actually violated or attacked, the subjects of England are entitled,…… to the right of having and using arms for self-preservation and defence.”  Just a longer way a sayin “…..the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. “  Simply to protect yo liberties even against a tyrannical Guv’mint.

Obama’s Change

With apologies to Lord Tennyson; I just couldn’t resist writing this

 

Obama’s Change

The Command is Forward !

Charge forward and onward !

Charge forward this Nation !

Into their valley of Death,

Into their valley of Hell,

Went this Nation so well,

Mad mania commanded Nation.

 

Were any dismayed?

Who then would turn away?

Was forward not a blunder?

The Nation not to reason why,

The Nation not to make reply,

The Nation but to do & die,

Mad mania commanded Nation.

 

All the World did wonder,

All the World saw blunder,

A commanded Nation ripped asunder,

There in its’ valley of Death,

There in its’ valley of Hell,

Reeling  shattered & sundered,

Strode not back the Nation.

 

Out from the mouth of Hell,

Came only the remnant few,

Out from the jaws of Death,

Came all that’s left of them,

Out from Commanded disaster,

Out came the last of them,

The remnant only of a Nation.
