Good Morning Campers!  Wow!  The things that have gone on this week.  Last night (Thursday) we get word that the Court of appeals has upheld Arizona’s controversial law that says they are allowed to check whether someone is in the country on some sort of legal status while stopping them for some other legitimate reason.  I think we’re going to start a pool as to whether the United States (in the persona of Mr. Obama) has the stones to take it to the next court….if there even IS a next court.  What do you guys think?

Yes, as the header proclaims, I’m on the road again this next week….Actually, as you are reading this on Saturday morning, I left yesterday.  I’m in Wisconsin for a week for another base’s training exercise where I get to help judge/teach part of the requirements for exercise completion.  Should be lots of fun.  I’ll try and send updates, either through here or through Lethal as to how it’s going.

So now, let’s say we get to it and laff!!!!

New Medicare part X.  This is a grand idea!  First of all, it will work, secondly, I won’t increase expenses near as much as a new program will, because this program is using facilities and procedures that are all ready in place.  So, here is the new plan description…

You’re a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you. So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need!
Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It’s the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

And you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you are at it.

Plus, and because you are a prisoner, you don’t have to pay any income taxes anymore.
Is this a great country or what? 

Okay campers, now it’s your turn to tear this idea apart and to submit a new program of your own makeup.

The Look!
The exact same look you get from your friends when you inform them that you plan to vote for Obama in November!

This should (and does for me) scare the shit out of us!  This is important, please watch the video!  You’ll have to go to the website to do that, but trust me when I tell you that its worth it!

I know the food thing is usually in the Leprechauns wheelhouse, but I have to share this with you.  It’s something Toni shared with us.   Toni also says: Despite the fact that I am a card carrying chocoholic even I think I’d have to draw the line at a chocolate eclair hotdog.  Thanks Toni….I’m relatively sure that we agree whole heartedly with you!

Mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a couple nice cold beers. The day was really quite beautiful, and the brew facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.

Finally I thought about an age old question:

Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the Nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.

Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, “it might be nice to have another child.”
On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, “You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts.”

I rest my case.

Case closed.

Wow! I see SOME of you really made the most of your 3 day weekends! Those are some impressive sunburns and hangovers (both alcohol  and waistline/belt) I can see lingering in a few of you.

Well time to set our sights on fall now, school is back in session (thank the gods for the peace during the day finally but damn them for the snail paced school busses that refuse to pull over and allow traffic to pass them).

I’m happy to report that Notre Dame soundly sank Navy 50 – 10. It was a heck of a game, made even more so by the extremely early time it was televised here in the States as it was played in Dublin Ireland at Aviva Stadium. It’s the second time the schools have met in Dublin. Notre Dame rolled to a 54-27 win in 1996, Lou Holtz’s final season as the Irish’s head coach. A long time ago.

The Navy–Notre Dame series has been played annually since 1914, making it the longest uninterrupted intersectional series in college football. Notre Dame holds a 71-12-1 series edge. Before Navy won a 46-44 triple-overtime thriller in 2007, Notre Dame had a 43-game winning streak that was the longest series win streak between two annual opponents in the history of Division I FBS football. Navy’s previous win came in 1963, 35-14 with future Heisman Trophy winner and NFL QB Roger Staubach at the helm.

And yes, just to be honest, I would have said I was happy if Navy had one as well. When your alma mater and your favorite college team play one another its all good regardless of what happens is my philosophy.

Well our “Fund the Blog For Another Year” Drive has come to a close with the arrival of September 1st. Our last big hurrah of a push was a success, no doubt due to my promise that if we hit the $300 mark I would refrain from bashing Obama, mentioning the political situation and even as an added incentive not throw Impish under the proverbial bus until after November 1st. That’s 2 straight months, 9 entire issues- will I go insane? Have a stroke in a fit of apoplexy? Stress induced heart attack? Be taken away to the land of padded cells & pharmaceutical mood enhancements? Guess we’re going to find out together.

I’d like to thank our last two contributors who helped up reach a grand total of $320 to keep our blog up, running and our coffee urn in the production offices full. George Soros and Barrack Obama each made $30 contributions to the cause of keeping my Leprechaun Laughs Parting Shot political indictments of the Democrats and their Liberal agenda in general silent for most to the rest of the election season. Thanks for proving just what a cheap couple of SOBs you are unless you’re paying for things with other people’s money!

NO that was NOT ‘Political’…that was PERSONAL.

And now without further ado…

 

Pleasing A Woman

A group of girlfriends went on vacation and they see a five-story hotel with a sign that reads “For Women Only.” Since they were without their boyfriends, they decide to go in.

The Doorman, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works, “We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It’s easy to decide, since each floor has signs telling you what’s inside. The only rule is, once you leave a floor, you can’t return to it.”

The women talk it over and decide to go for it. They start going up, and on the first floor the sign reads “All the men here are horrible lovers, but they are sensitive and kind.” The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor.

The sign on the Second floor reads! “All the men here are wonderful lovers, but they generally treat women badly.” This wasn’t going to do so again they head for the stairs.

The friends move up to the Third floor where the sign read “All the men here are great lovers and sensitive to the needs of women.” This was good but there were still two more floors…

So on to the Fourth floor, the sign was perfect. “All the men here have perfect builds; are sensitive and attentive to women; are perfect lovers; they are also single, rich and straight”

The women seemed pleased but they decide that they would rather see what the fifth floor has to offer before they settle for the fourth.

When they reach the Fifth floor, there is only a sign that reads:

“There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is simply no way to please a woman.”

 

 

will.i.am releases “Reach For The Stars” by beam from Mars

(CNN) — Rapper will.i.am can boast of an accomplishment that is out of this world: His latest single premiered from Mars, making it the first song to debut on another planet.

The Black Eyed Peas singer wrote the song, “Reaching for the Stars,” to mark the successful landing of NASA’s Curiosity rover on the Red Planet this month.

A far cry from his regular hip-hop tunes, it features a 40-piece orchestra set to a futuristic beat.

The song is set to transcend time and cultures, he said.

In Leprechaun Laughs # 155 for Wednesday Aug 22, 2012  we talked about how all the reasons proponents of gun control have been demonstrated to be untrue, circular in logic, unconstitutional and in fact lead to a greater risk not a less risk of being sot in public by a deranged gunman.

I showed you a clip of a lone senior citizen LAWFULLY carrying a concealed weapon thwarting a robbery where both robbers were armed with deadly weapons. I also touched on how little news exposure that story got due to our media no longer being unbiased, fair or accurate in their reporting of their heavily censored individual corporate versions of the news.

Here is another case in point which occurred all the way back in April but is just now getting National attention because of the Internet as opposed to news outlets:

Gun carrying man ends stabbing spree at Salt Lake grocery store

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) – A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith’s store.
Police say the suspect purchased a knife inside the store and then turned it into a weapon. Smith’s employee Dorothy Espinoza says, “He pulled it out and stood outside the Smiths in the foyer. And just started stabbing people and yelling you killed my people. You killed my people.”
Espinoza says, the knife wielding man seriously injured two people. “There is blood all over. One got stabbed in the stomach and got stabbed in the head and held his hands and got stabbed all over the arms.”
Then, before the suspect could find another victim – a citizen with a gun stopped the madness. “A guy pulled gun on him and told him to drop his weapon or he would shoot him. So, he dropped his weapon and the people from Smith’s grabbed him.”

By the time officers arrived the suspect had been subdued by employees and shoppers. Police had high praise for gun carrying man who ended the hysteria. Lt. Brian Purvis said, “This was a volatile situation that could have gotten worse. We can only assume from what we saw it could have gotten worse. He was definitely in the right place at the right time.”
Dozens of other shoppers, who too could have become victims, are also thankful for the gun carrying man. And many, like Danylle Julian, are still in shock from the experience. “Scary actually. Really scary. Five minutes before I walk out to my car. It could have been me.”
Police say right now they have no idea what caused the suspect to go on the dangerous rampage. (We will update as soon as we learn new information.)
So far, police have not released the names of the suspect, the victims or the man who pulled the gun.

— Don’t Get Swept Away –*

A very small female janitor (4’10”, 90 pounds) worked at an amusement park and was told to go out and sweep up the grounds.
As she was getting ready to head out to clean up, her supervisor noticed her putting rocks in her pockets. When asked what she was doing, she pointed out that it was so windy out she was afraid of getting knocked over by the wind.
‘So,’ she said, ‘now I weigh me down to sweep.’

I had in fact planned a completely different Parting Shot today. In fact writing it so I could finish this issue and set it to auto post tomorrow because I procrastinated all Labor Day weekend was at the top of my list of things to do today- right after reading my e-mails. Then I saw the send below four different time from four different people whom I THOUGHT were responsible enough web surfers to check facts (or at least spot check them) to see if what they are passing along when of an inflammatory nature has ANY basis in reality.

Mistaken sadly was I. Necessary to address this it is humm?  (DAMN IT! UNCLE YODA GET OUT OF MY HEAD!) Ahem, as I was saying…

This Parting Shot requires to additional labels and a disclaimer before we proceed I am informed by our legal and editorial departments so as not to run afoul of any promises, verbal agreements or implied contracts I may have made:

and… 

 

I’m sure many of you have seen the source material for these comments in your Inboxes of late, (in fact I KNOW you have because several of you have forwarded it to both Impish and I) I got this from SO many of you people that you can all claim responsibility for my feeling it necessary to come out in commentary defense of the truth.

Disclaimer: I would like to mention before going further that prior of authoring this piece I consulted with our legal council and asked out  Editor in Chief (a.k.a. Keeper of the Red Crayon of Deletion) Impish if these comments broke my contract with you donators regarding my no politics or dragon bashing pledge. After due deliberation it was decided that since I was not promoting one side over the other nor bashing either side but simply addressing the total lack of factuality in this e-mail that I was in fact NOT breaking my contract but was in fact busting a virulent and currently popular myth, something which it could be reasonably argued was part of our “mission statement” here at DL/LL Enterprises and possibly even my patriotic duty!

What pisses me off is this kind of crap- BLAINTANT MISREPRESENTATIOON VIA OUTRIGHT LIES makes the majority of the American voting populace misinformed because 75% of the world thinks everything that is put on the internet has to be true. We welcome debate, we welcome opposing point of view but we INSIST on accuracy and truthfulness of FACT be the basis of any such exchange.

Subject: O’s Recent Executive Orders

Now, “free” citizen, how do you feel about your government? The items below are controlled by people who can’t come up with a budget, have made a series of bad decisions on the economy, on the environment, on world affairs, giving our tax money plus what we have to borrow – to countries who are on record as wanting us dead….given by people we voted into office.

Voting the present crowd out will get rid of the most heinous,…. but not all …..the problems. Pray…and vote.

A Comprehensive List Of Obama’s Recent Executive Orders

There have been over 900 Executive Orders put forth from President Obama, all taking place in only his first term. I have compiled a choice list of ‘Emergency Powers’, (a pathway to government seizure) executive orders:

—-Look these up and read these in full for yourselves:

* Executive Order 10990
allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports.

* Executive Order 10995
allows the government to seize and control the communication media.

* Executive Order 10997
allows the government to take over all electrical power, gas, petroleum, fuels, and minerals.

* Executive Order 11000
allows the government to mobilize civilians into work brigades under government supervision.

* Executive Order 11001
allows the government to take over all health education and welfare functions.

* Executive Order 11002
designates the Postmaster General to operate a national registration of all persons.

* Executive Order 11003
allows the government to take over all airports and aircraft, including commercial aircraft.

* Executive Order 11004
allows the Housing and Finance Authority to relocate and establish new locations for populations. (Research “Agenda 21”)

* Executive Order 11005
allows the government to take over railroads, inland waterways, and public storage facilities.

* Executive Order 11049
assigns emergency preparedness function to federal departments and agencies, consolidating 21 operative Executive Orders issues over a fifteen-year period.

* Executive Order 11051
specifies the responsibility of the Office of Emergency Planning and gives authorization to put all Executive Orders into effect in times of increased international tensions and economic or financial crisis.

* Executive Order 11310
grants authority to the Department of Justice to enforce the plans set out in Executive Orders, to institute Industrial support, to establish judicial and legislative liaison, to control all aliens, to operate penal and correctional institutions, and to advise and assist the President.

* Executive Order 11921
allows the Federal Emergency Preparedness Agency to develop plans to establish control over the mechanisms of production and distribution of energy sources, wages, salaries, credit, and the flow of money in U.S. financial institutions in any undefined national emergency. It also provides that when the president declares a state of emergency,
Congress cannot review the action for six months.

This is in no way the vision that our Founders had for this country; in fact, it is quite the opposite:
The Constitution was designed to KEEP the government from taking control. It is more than clear from these executive orders that the current administration is helping to shape a government control and takeover of the key institutions in America, food,energy, transportation, work, banking, and health.These executive orders force us to submit to international regulations instead of our own Constitution (without your representative in Congress being able to have any say). It is time to demand our elected leaders start protecting America, our sovereignty, and our Constitution–––not Government control.

This is not a partisan issue!!!

Tell me, if you hadn’t read this, would you even know about it or any of these Executive Orders?

So, now you know. What are you going to do about it?

Answer: What the Founders provided you the freedom to do:

VOTE!!

Oh boy! Where to start? I guess I’d better hitch up the Dragon Honey Wagon because there is so much BS here It well might over flow a normal one!

Most of the cited Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and many were actually the Orders of President Kennedy NOT Barack Obama. MOST of these orders were all signed during the creation of and relate to the powers and authority of FEMA. Hell the majority of them are not even valid any longer having been replaced by later Executive Orders!

Executive Order 11004 has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with “Agenda 21” and was signed LONG before 1997 when “Agenda 21” came into being.

• Executive Order 11004. Assigning certain emergency preparedness functions to the Housing and Home Finance Administrator. Signed: February 16, 1962 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=58928 
• Agenda 21 is a non-binding, voluntarily implemented action plan of the United Nations with regards to sustainable development. It is a product of the UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It is an action agenda for the UN, other multilateral organizations, and individual governments around the world that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. The “21” in Agenda 21 refers to the 21st century. It has been affirmed and modified at subsequent UN conferences.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenda_21

Additionally 10990 (the first one listed) was signed by JFK and is in fact given over to “RE-ESTABLISHING THE FEDERAL SAFETY COUNCIL” [www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=58928] This is a FAR CRY from:

 FEMA Executive Order 10990: EXECUTIVE ORDER 10990 allows the government to take over all modes of transportation and control of highways and seaports  http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/fema_executive_orders.htm

BEGORRAH!  Someone needs to bloody well pry off their tinfoil hat, its either depriving their brain of blood and oxygen  or baking the bloody wee thing apparently!

First, none of those Executive Orders allows the government to suspend the Constitution.

Second, all the orders do is allow for emergency powers in the case of an emergency. 11049, for example, was utilized in the run-up to hurricane Rita to enable the government to set all lanes of I-10 to run out of Houston instead of two lanes into the city and two out. Trust me on this- I WAS HERE FOR IT!

Third,  note that well over half of the EO’s that our conspiracy cultist quotes are no longer even valid, having been superseded by other EO’s further down the list. [i.e. Presidential Executive Order 10990 has been superseded by EO 11612]

Fourth, partly as an aside and partly on point, I’d like to personally point out that this Orwellian Authoritarian Doomsday Nightmare Scenario is precisely what makes the protection of our Second Amendment and State’s Rights so vitally important!  With an armed populace this scenario becomes pretty damned near to impossible to enact, more so if the states refuse to go along with it and deny the government use of their respective National Guard troops!

While I agree there is some possible potential for misuse, given today’s citizen mindset and the level of over all anti government sentiment (to say nothing of the intense dislike and completely lack of confidence which the public holds FEMA in)  I seriously doubt that ANYONE would succeed in implementing these orders in the Orwellian Authoritarian Doomsday Nightmare Scenario this sensationalizer of misquotes & citation of erroneous sources is attempting to portray.

Further you should know that ANY Executive Order from a previous administration can be nullified with the inclusion of one simple line in a current Executive Order:

Sec. 6. Revocation.

Executive Order ##### of <pertinent date here>, is revoked.

The VERY FIRST Obama Administration Executive Order was Executive Order 13489 signed on January 21st 2009. The latest one is Executive Order 13618 signed July 6th 2012. That makes a grand total of 130 by my count, a FAR cry from the alleged 900 our anonymous author of absurdities claims. [For proof of this and a list click here]

If you see ANY Executive Orders prior to that numerical range attributed to President Obama be a patriot, demand that all debates discussions and exchanges be founded & grounded in truth and fact and cry;

“THAT’S BULLSHIT!

Lethal Leprechaun showed me the truth and busted that myth!”

 

 

Yup, that’s it.  That’s all the celebrating we’re going to do here at Dragon and Leprechaun Laffs Electronic Media, LLP.  Happy Labor Day!  and in complete and total celebration of Labor Day, I’m going to put a minimal effort into giving you my opinion and a maximum labor into making you Laff and enjoy your weekend!  So, without further ado and to get this three day weekend going….

Let’s Laugh!!!

more than four hours, you gotta call a doctor!”

I know that you have heard us talk about the makeuseof.com website.  Make Use Of has everything from funnies to tech tips to give-aways. Today’s public service announcement comes from them and concerns getting water out of your cell phone and back into the toilet, where it belongs.

 

Tip of the Day: Today’s article illustrates the damage water can do to a smartphone or tablet. If you want to clean a smartphone or tablet’s screen, skip the water and use a microfiber cloth (these are often used to clean eyeglasses.) At most, you should use a damp microfiber cloth.
How To Save A Wet Cell Phone Or Tablet

by Christian Cawley

I’ve got bad news for you. Dropping your phone in a puddle of water, bath, sink, toilet – even getting caught in a heavy shower – will leave it irreparably damaged. The same goes for tablet computers.

No more apps, games, Facebook, phonecalls or browsing. All gone.

That is, if you leave it switched on. Switching it off right away is probably the best solution, but it’s not all bad news.

In fact, there are a number of ways in which you can stop your phone or tablet computer from being left as nothing more than an expensive brick following prolonged contact with water.

The Effect of Water Damage

It is important to act fast when your phone or tablet gets wet. Water and electricity simply don’t get along, so a wet device could short out and even give you an electric shock. At best, a bit of water will condense on a hot circuit board or processor and cause damage to the screen, while water can find its way into bezels, slots, under the screen and into the battery cavity.

Now, after watching the video, here are some more, very important things to think about…

Good Morning!  Today is the last day of our yearly begging…or um…promotion for donations.  You guys have done a wonderful job, but I thought I’d give everyone one more bump just to make sure we haven’t missed someone who wanted to contribute but hasn’t gotten around to it.  This is it.  The last time you will hear from us about this until next year when the bills come due again.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do.  You are all deeply appreciated.

Lethal Leprechaun just told me to add that if we reach $300 he will go politics free AND no throwing dragons (that’s me!) under the bus until after November 1st!  So please, if nothing else, for MY sake, my poor back can’t handle being run over as often as it happens!  SAVE THE DRAGON!  Donate to Dragon Laffs!!!  Now he’s saying he even has his eye on a heavy duty, jet powered bus!  I’m scared!  Please help me!

I’ll try to make this quick this morning, I know most of you are in a hurry to get back to work so you can clear your desks and To-Do lists so you can entertain the idea of skipping out at noon on Friday to start the 3 Day weekend early.

I really like Labor Day for several reasons. It means that fall, my favorite time of year is near as well as the end of hurricane season traditionally, which regardless of your seasonal preference cannot be seen as a bad thing if you live anywhere a hurricane has ever hit. Here in Texas it also means that relief from the high heat, high humidity and high electric bills is only about  6 to 8 weeks off as well.

Unfortunately it is also the last 3 day weekend holiday and unless you have a generous employer the last extended weekend your likely to see this year due to the way the holidays fall. It also means you have just 118 days after that for Christmas shopping!

Well we best get a move on I see some of you are growing impatient and  I do have a lot to say today seeing as this will be my last blog in which I mention politics for an entire month!

Two weeks ago I made you a challenge, 2 weeks of my not haranguing the Liberals, Democrats and Obama or preaching about Politics in Leprechaun Laughs if we raised $100 to cover our costs before August 31st. I also said I would tack on a week for each additional $50 we got over the initial $100. Well Impish informed me this morning that we had slightly over $250 in the pledge fund. That means I owe you guys 5 weeks of no Liberals, Democrats and Obama or Election related material in Leprechaun Laughs. Likely as not somewhere along the line I’m going to suffer a stroke or a stress related heart attack from keeping it all in but a promise is a promise and I keep my word regardless of the cost.

Oh, one last thing…I’d like to thank two particularly generous donors who contributed between them $150 of those $250 we received. My special thanks to the Democratic National Committee and Obama’s CREEP (Committee to Re–Elect the President) for helping us overachieve our goals!

 

  

What can I say? It beats the HELL out of most of the alternatives!

 

 

The editorial staff of DL/LL Electronic Media Enterprises Ltd has decided against producing a Labor Day Issue this year.  Or to ‘speak da straight up plain’…

Impish and I are taking the opportunity for a 3 day weekend respite for all our labors on and off line to spend time with our actual flesh and blood families instead of you guys.

QUITCHERBITCHIN NOW! We’ve earned a holiday off from holiday special issues (well I have anyway) and we’re (I’m) going to have it! This one is the least significant and most appropriate for it so that’s that!

 

Nothing kills your self image nearly as fast as a mother!

Hope the colored inside the lines!

Well my Parting Shot on gun control last week generated a few reader responses . Predictably I got some from the loonies spewing their tired already shot down 500 times arguments. I got several that I could use graffiti & expletive remover on then power wash with an abrasive and still not clean up enough for publication (NOT that I would give those people any air time or the satisfaction of a reply.)

I also received two I can and do want to address here. The first was from a personal/professional acquaintance, who due to the nature of his job and his position I decline to identify. He didn’t actually SAY anything in his e-mail, he just sent me the results of the following poll. Since I know him and where he lives I also know enough to say that this comes from the same source and my “What Were You Thinking Feature” which is a group of on-line newspapers for the Northeast Corridor a.k.a. the Blue State Bastion. Keeping that fact in mind along with the fact that Democrats claim such overwhelming support for gun control I find the figures  to put it mildly interesting.

Do you think gun violence is on the rise, based on the recent movie theater shooting in Colorado and Friday’s shooting in New York City?

10% Yes. It’s out of control and calls for better gun law enforcement.

5% Yes, because it’s easy to get guns. They should be outlawed except for law enforcement.

75% No. It’s the same as it’s always been. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have them.

10% I don’t know.

There is one ting that the shootings in Colorado and NYC have made abundantly clear and painfully obvious, or at least it should be if you have half a brain….

–  mass shooters prefer gun free zones –

 

These signs are an open invitation for those bent on killing people.!

It tells them they will face no meaningful resistance and will have free reign until the police arrive and can get organized to make a response.

Signs like this need to be met with signs like these:

( OK so  maybe not the BEST sign but I do know of someone who had a bunch of these made as those Mylar near impossible to remove stickers and slapped them up prominently right next to or on the above signs when ever he encountered them. He said out of the 20 stickers he managed to get up before he was caught in the act, 11 of the signed were taken down permanently.)

Probably a better choice of signage

 

From Gailwynds331:

sadly, this needs to be sent on……terrible times we’re living through…………

This video is being sent to my family, friends, and all the people that mean so much to me.

Please watch this video. You will be glad you did.

This is a video the city of Houston put together on what to do should

you run across an active shooter, such as the guy in the movie theater.

They were just finishing it when the Colorado shootings occurred.

If you haven’t seen it……please watch. I’m sending this to everyone on my mail list….Be Safe!

 

“Run, Hide, Fight”

 

and now for an opposing view point which sadly takes about 1/2 the things I want to say about this right out of play…

“Run, Hide, Fight” Response

 

First of all let me state that despite what the gentleman above said, carrying a concealed weapon is not something I recommend for everyone, nor is owning a gun.

It takes a certain mindset to actually use a weapon on another living breathing human being. Most people do not have what it takes to perform competently under the pressure of a life and death situation with regards to using a firearm. Protection of home and family is one thing and I will freely admit that the number of people willing to pull the trigger in defense of their own family is much higher.

However out in public, the chances of that same person functioning well enough not to endanger himself or others drops significantly. Under those circumstances that weapon in your possession becomes a liability, the sense of safety and security you derive from it is false. Any person in a confrontational situation with an armed assailant is at least TWICE as likely to be targeted over a non armed person. If you are not willing to use that gun, use it first and with lethal intent, then all you’ve done is painted a huge THREAT! sign on yourself.

That’s why I in the strongest possible terms, suggest, urge and advise that you and your families watch the following 3 short instructional videos. In all sincerity, honesty and with deadly seriousness I say that doing so might just at some future time save someone’s life, most likely yours.

One of every 50 federal dollars buys food stamps

Program costs double in five years

Food stamp costs are mushrooming. More than 46 million Americans – about one in seven – rely on food stamps, the equivalent of the entire populations of Texas and New York. The program now consumes 2 percent of the federal budget, or $78 billion in fiscal 2011. That’s about the cost of the auto industry bailout.

Ask for the corporate rate. Or not.

Stifling innovation? Or paying a fair share?

The United States has the world’s highest corporate income tax rate at up to 35 percent. Japan recently lowered its corporate tax rate to 30 percent, and some US companies are moving operations to countries with lower rates such as Ireland, where the corporate tax rate is 12.5 percent. After various tax deductions and credits, the US collected $205 billion in corporate income tax in 2009 from 5.8 million corporations, down from $228 billion the year before.

Money can’t buy genius

Big school outlays don’t lead to straight A’s

We spend an average $10,995 in public dollars on each US elementary and secondary student, but other countries spend less to get better reading, math and science test scores. Japan spends $8,301 per student and South Korea spends less, at $6,723, but both outpace US academic performance. The US outlay per student is $2,826 more than the average in industrialized countries. Then again, the biggest spenders per student – Luxembourg, Norway, and Switzerland – have mixed results compared to the US.

Supersized hunger pangs, supersized waste

We fight hunger while throwing away more food

Americans wasted 33.79 million tons of food in 2010, enough to fill 91 Empire State Buildings, and a 16 percent increase from a decade ago.  The average American wastes 209 to 254 pounds of edible food each year.  Meanwhile, more than 17 million American households were considered “food insecure” in 2010, meaning it was difficult to provide enough food for everyone in the family.  46 million Americans, about one in seven people, relied on food stamps.

Who holds the note? Look in the mirror

Uncle Sam owes many things to many people

As of summer 2012, the federal government’s outstanding debt surpassed $15 trillion. Who are the nation’s creditors? The government owes the most money to — itself.  U.S. government agencies, including giant trust funds of the Social Security and Medicare systems, and the independent Federal Reserve System account for 41 percent of the federal debt, more than $2 of every $5. Nearly one-third of the national debt is owed to other countries. China is the biggest foreign creditor ($1.144 trillion), followed by Japan ($1.076 trillion), but together they own less than 15 percent of it. Mexico and Canada together are owed $90 billion.

Seductive Motion

 

 

 

The following is an excerpt from a newsletter forwarded to me by reader Paul Bader. Paul is very bad for me. He seems to excel at sending me information that pushes my buttons and makes me angry. Statistically speaking, I’d say at least 1/3 of my Parting Shots have been instigated or influenced in some form by his sends to Impish and I.

The somewhat misleading title to the e-zine article was:

AZ TEACHER EXPOSES ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IN CLASSROOMS

Tony Hill’s letter will make you cry and his letter will make you angry. You will cry as you realize this attack on American culture comes from children who should be innocent and preparing to realize a good life in the freest nation the world has produced. You will grow angry when you realize these children openly defy allegiance to America, refuse to gain the education U.S. public schools are intended to provide, and advocate an allegiance to other countries.

Tony Hill, a substitute teacher, unknowingly ignited a rhetoric bomb when he wrote a letter to Arizona State Sen. Russell Pearce, the legislator behind Arizona’s infamous SB 1070 border security enforcement bill. This letter was read on the AZ state Senate’s floor to support legislation requiring parents to prove their children are citizens of the United States before the children may enter school. After substituting at Harold W. Smith Elementary School, on March 15, 2011, Tony Hill wrote:

“During the Pledge of Allegiance I notice the vast majority of students refusing to stand and say the pledge. I asked the students why they refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance and they responded by saying, “we are Mexicans and Americans stole our land.”

The teacher’s instructions were for the students to read a few pages and answer the questions regarding Mark Twain in their history textbook and to finish their final drafts to Senator Steve Gallardo thanking him for his position on Illegal Immigration rights. Their teacher apparently had showed them a video with Senator Steve Gallardo and Lou Dobbs.

Most of the students came unprepared for class not possessing paper and pencil. I provided the students with paper and pencils only to have them wad-up the paper and throw it at each other along with their pencils.

The students’ final drafts that I read were basically the same. Most of them stated they were in the country illegally, white Americans are racist, and that they came here for a better life. I asked the class if America adopted Mexico immigration laws would Americans still be consider racist?

That question they could not answer and called me a racist for asking it. I mentioned that my wife and children are Hispanic so how could I be racist? I asked the students to stop speaking Spanish in class because it was impolite to speak a language in front of people who may not speak that language. Their response was that Americans better learn Spanish and their customs because they are taking their land back from us.

When it came to completing the Mark Twain assignment only 10 students completed it out of all my classes. Most of the students refused to open the book, tore the pages out of the book, or threw the textbooks at each other. I thought, are these the students we are trying to educate with taxpayers’ money? I have found that substitute teaching in these areas most of the Hispanic students do not want to be educated but rather [want to] be gang members and gangsters.

They hate America and are determined to reclaim this area for Mexico. If we are able to remove the illegal’s out of our schools, the class sizes would be reduced and the students who wanted to learn would have a better chance to do so and become productive citizens.”

Let me save us all time by expounding on the basic situation by saying you can read more about the situation as it evolved here:

Teachers, students speak out about substitute’s controversial letter to Arizona lawmakers

Substitute Teacher’s Letter Backed Up In Part by Exit Report; Tony Hill Gave Students “Poor” Rating for Behavior

and here:

Letter about Hispanic students in Glendale spurs controversy

I’ll give you a minute to get your temper, heart rates and blood pressure under control. Here’s a little hint; try some medicinal Bailey’s in that cuppa as an Rx from your favorite Dr of Quackery. Go ahead take your time, its ok I understand completely, Lord knows I have been a bear for the 3 days its taken me to write this because it makes me so angry.

Feeling better? Got everything under control now? Good because I’m here to tell you2 more unpleasant facts.

• Irregardless of the exact circumstances of the exact circumstances of Tony Hill’s employment, how many times he experienced it or if any of the other liberal teacher say it bunk IT’S ALL TRUE!

How do I know this? How can I say with a certainty what Tony Hill in Arizona encountered and saw when I live in Houston Texas? Do I know him? Have I met him personally? Been to an Arizona school and seen it first hand myself? To the last three question the answer is “No.”

As to the first two I can say this because I have first hand knowledge of the exact same situation not in Arizona, but right here in Texas. It occurs here every day in the Rio Grande Valley where my Mother In Law taught public school for 20 years and now is a substitute teacher across 4 school districts. The same kinds inhabit her class rooms on a daily basis and she has seen it go from an occasional one or two kids to where any Hispanic kid that actually wants to learn is the exception!

She has been slapped, spit on, had things thrown at her, her safety threatened and her classes disrupted daily by these kids. It’s SO bad that some district down there have been forced in some cases into paying a premium to get qualified substitute teachers to teach in certain problem schools! Even with that the substitutes rarely agree to teach there for more than one or two days at a time!

This wastes our teachers (a valuable resource), our tax dollars and is detrimental to the education of those  of our kids who actually WANT to learn. Parents of those kids are forced to shoulder the burden of private schooling their kids (which according the the Mexicans then makes them racist for not wanting to be with their disrespectful disruptive asses and there for the target of their harassment) IN ADDITION to paying for these adolescent agitators ‘schooling’.

Anti-American Outrage: Hispanic Students in California Ditch Classes to Protest the Wearing of US Flag on Cinco de Mayo

• Second ugly fact: Not ONLY is this just the tip of the iceberg, being indicative of a much greater problem, the kids are not actually the ones with the bad attitudes! They are getting this mindset and learning their attitude from their parents and the rest of their illegal aliens society with which the interact. They just have not learned to keep their fat mouths shut about it and so now we have a clear indication of just how big the issue actually is.

What issue Lethal? Glad you asked! It’s called ‘The Reconquista Movement’ and is a serious threat to our border states and if nothing is done soon probably the root cause of your looming next civil war. A war not of American against American but American against Illegal Mexican immigrants for most of the American Southwest and California!

                             

Apparently any Native Americans reading this can plan on having problems with La Raza & The Reconquista Movement as well. Note the large sign in the background of this next photo:

Mexican aliens seek to retake ‘stolen’ land

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2006/apr/16/20060416-122222-1672r/?page=all

DENVER — La reconquista, a radical movement calling for Mexico to “reconquer” America’s Southwest, has stepped out of the shadows at recent immigration-reform protests nationwide as marchers held signs saying, “Uncle Sam Stole Our Land!” and waved Mexico’s flag.

Even as organizers urged marchers to display U.S. flags, the theme of reclaiming “stolen” land remained strong. One popular banner read: “If you think I’m illegal because I’m a Mexican, learn the true history because I’m in my homeland.”

The revolutionary tone has surprised even longtime immigration watchers such as Ira Mehlman, the Los Angeles-based spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

“I’ve always been skeptical myself about this [reconquista], but what I’ve seen over the last few weeks leads me to believe that there’s more there than I thought,” Mr. Mehlman said.

“You’re seeing people marching with Mexican flags chanting, ‘This is our country.’ I don’t think that we can dismiss this as youthful exuberance or a bunch of hotheads,” he said.

Hispanic rights leaders insist there’s nothing to the so-called reconquista, sometimes referred to as Aztlan, the mythical ancestral homeland of the Aztecs that reportedly stretches from the border to southern Oregon and Colorado.

Nativo Lopez, president of the Mexican American Political Association in Los Angeles, one of the march organizers, was infuriated when a reporter asked him about the reconquista.

“I can’t believe you’re bothering me with questions about this. You’re not serious,” Mr. Lopez said. “I can’t believe you’re bothering with such a minuscule, fringe element that has no resonance with this populous.”

At the same time, some analysts say the seismic demographic shifts brought on by unchecked border crossings and birth rates are resulting in a de facto reconquista.

“Demographically, socially and culturally, the reconquista of the Southwest United States by Mexico is well under way,” Harvard University professor Samuel P. Huntington said in 2004.

“No other immigrant group in U.S. history has asserted or could assert a historical claim to U.S. territory. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans can and do make that claim,” he said.

A three-minute videotape made by the Immigration Watchdog Web site plays speeches by Hispanic professors and elected officials making references to Aztlan and the idea of a demographic takeover.

“We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It’s a matter of time. The explosion is in our population,” Jose Angel Gutierrez, political science professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, said on the videotape.

In an interview, Mr. Gutierrez said there was “no viable” reconquista movement. He blamed interest in the issue on closed-border groups and “right-wing blogs” such as American Patrol and L.A. Watchdog, but those Web sites are getting plenty of ammunition from groups like La Voz de Aztlan, a Whittier, Calif.-based news service that advocates a separatist state while criticizing Jews and “gringos.”

Then there’s the Mexica Movement, which wants to “reconstruct” the United States as an “indigenous” nation called Anahuac. Professor Charles Truxillo of the University of New Mexico envisions a sovereign Hispanic nation called the Republica del Norte that would encompass Northern Mexico, Baja California, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

MEChA, an acronym for the Chicano Student Movement of Aztlan, has come under fire for revolutionary language in its “El Plan de Aztlan,” a founding document that declares “the independence of our mestizo nation,” decries the “brutal gringo invasion,” and says that land “rightfully ours will be fought for and defended.”

What’s notable about MEChA is its otherwise mainstream image. Most Hispanic leaders, including Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, belonged to MEChA in high school or college. Former Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante came under fire from conservatives for refusing to renounce his membership during the 2003 gubernatorial race.

Federico Rangel, a University of Colorado graduate student and MEChA officer, said most students view Aztlan as part of their history, not as a rallying cry for revolution.

“Aztlan isn’t what people say it is, like the reconquista,” said Mr. Rangel, who carried a MEChA sign at Monday’s rally. “It’s a spiritual homeland to Chicanos.”

 

 

FACT CHECK:

In 500+ years of recorded history Mexico had dominion over Texas for exactly 15 years, roughly 0.3% of its recorded history.

By comparison Spain held sway over it for 302 years though 77 of those years were apparently contested by France

Republic of Texas- 12 years

The Confederacy- 4 years

The United States of America – 167 years

So in order of claim precedence Mexico has a snowballs shot in an Arizona summer of legal claim of any sort. The ludicrousness of these claims is right up there with Blacks demanding “compensation  & reparations” for slavery in a monkey see monkey do imitation of Jews who actually suffered the Atrocities of the Concentration Camps getting it. Do I even have to go into the fact that if they are illegal aliens then by definition this is not their homeland? How is that refusing an education thing working out now you bunch of illegal illiterate ignorant dumb asses?

At the beginning of 1846 the population of California included, with about two hundred thousand Indians, six thousand Mexicans and perhaps two hundred Americans. In 1848 California and New Mexico were ceded to the United States- BY MEXICO!

La Reconquista Manifesto (Me gusta tu)

IT COULDN’T BE ANY MORE CLEAR. Welcome to the world of Brown Supremacist Groups like MECHA, LA RAZA, BROWN BERETS, MALDEF, LULAC and the millions of illegal Latin immigrants aliens covert enemy combatants  that subscribe to and support their goal of converting nearly one third of the United States into the mirror image of the Third World SHITHOLES they left behind ON YOUR TAX DOLLAR FUNDED WELFARE, FOOD STAMPS & SOCIAL SECURITY ALONG WITH THE VOTING RIGHTS ALSO SUPPLIED TO THEM BY U.S. PRESIDENT BARRAK OBAMA COURTESY OF HIS HOPE & CHANGE!

My father watched as his friends & family died in WW II, and I watched as my family died in Vietnam. My parents watch as I went to war in Beirut, Grenada, and Kuwait- which almost killed me. None of them died for the Mexican Flag and I sure as HELL didn’t fight for it.  Everyone fought or died for the U.S. flag.

In Texas, a student raised a Mexican flag on a school flag pole; another student took it down. Guess who was expelled…the kid who took it down. Kids in high school in California were sent home this year on Cinco de Mayo because they wore T-shirts with the American flag printed on them. Enough is enough. Every American needs to stand up for America . We’ve bent over to appease the America-haters long enough. I’m taking my stand. I’m standing up because the hundreds of thousands who died fighting in wars for this country, and for the U.S. flag can’t stand up. And shame on anyone who tries to make this a racist message.

Let me make this perfectly clear!

THIS IS MY COUNTRY!

And, because I make this statement DOES NOT Mean I’m against immigration!!!

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE, IN MY COUNTRY!

Welcome to come through legally:

1. Get a sponsor!

5. Pay YOUR Taxes!
And
6. Learn the LANGUAGE like all immigrants have in the past!!!

If you don’t want to forward this for fear of offending someone, Then YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM!

When will AMERICANS STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS???

We’ve gone so far the other way… bent over backwards not to offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN CITIZEN that’s being offended!

WAKE UP America !!! BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

If You agree…. Pass this on. Vote those who believe the same come November.

If You don’t agree.. You’re free to leave along with the illegal enemy aliens you apparently love more than your own country.

You know it occurs to me that the liberals want to pull our troops out of Afghanistan and the Middle East to bring them home. It occurs to me they just might have a point!

Our country is under siege and our southern border is overrun by hostile invaders ON A DAILY BASIS! Its HIGH TIME we PROTECT and DEFEND our country’s Borders and SOVERENTY against incursion by HOSTILE FOREIGN GUERRILLAS AND INSERCTIONISTS!
