“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

A Rant Related to Independence Day, The Film.

For the last few years I have noticed an increasingly attack towards the film Independence Day, specifically the way the aliens are beaten with a computer virus.   The most recent comment that set me off is this one where some critic labeled the aliens as lame, by the way to take a page from Glenn's "book" imagine the commenter wearing a tweed jacket and with a pipe in their mouth, "Large-scale alien invasions are often thwarted by the smallest things. In "War of the Worlds," it was germs. In "Signs," it was water. But lamest of all were the invaders in "ID4," who were beaten by spyware. Don't aliens know not to open email attachments from an unfamiliar senders? If you're going to take over a planet, make sure your Norton Anti-Virus is up to date." Please note that my response is written in what is called "in universe," where I will be treating the events as real for the sake of argument.

Malcolm X's Words.

I wanted to post this, in response to something I just saw on Geraldo, it's from a 1965 conversation with Gordon Parks with Malcolm X, just two days before he was assassinated, he said this:

"Listening to leaders like Nasser, Ben Bella, and Nkrumah awakened me to the dangers of racism. I realized racism isn't just a black and white problem. It's brought bloodbaths to about every nation on earth at one time or another."

"Brother, remember the time that white college girl came into the restaurant — the one who wanted to help the Black Muslims and the whites get together — and I told her there wasn't a ghost of a chance and she went away crying? Well, I've lived to regret that incident. In many parts of the African continent I saw white students helping black people. Something like this kills a lot of argument. I did many things as a Black Muslim that I'm sorry for now. I was a zombie then — like all Black Muslims — I was hypnotized, pointed in a certain direction and told to march. Well, I guess a man's entitled to make a fool of himself if he's ready to pay the cost. It cost me 12 years.

"That was a bad scene, brother. The sickness and madness of those days — I'm glad to be free of them."

The Post Office, A Fine Example of Government Run Business.

The Post Office, A Fine Example of Government Run Business.

So Tuesday July 6th the Federal Postal Service has announced it's asking for 2-cent rate increase to fight is financial crisis, as of 2009 the Federal Postal Service was three+ billion dollars in the red for that year and is still losing money. So their idea is to increase prices in a down economy, that is just about as brilliant as when customers were complaining about the long lines and wait times the Federal Postal Service removed all their clocks from the pick up areas, if the continue to complain will the next take their customers time pieces and any thing that could tell time? That would be really brilliant.

The Democrat Graveyard Vote.

With the new charges that the Obama Administration doesn't want to clean out the Voter rolls I made this quick image, by the way the graveyard used is an actual graveyard near Chicago, Illinois. Fitting I think.

Solomon.

P.S. I actually thought about using an image from the "Night of the Living Dead" of the zombies, With the tag line "The democrat graveyard voters heading to the polling place, after having a meal of tofu brains, after all they are vegan PETA zombies." with one quoting "People are animals like rats, so we can't eat people brains."

The Fourth of July Weekend.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Fourth of July Weekend, I spent most of mine doing yard work, cut the grass with a 25+ year old, gas guzzling, push mower to do my part for Global Warming ;)

As to more important things, I thought I would mention the Jay Walking that people have been talking about, I have to say that's not news for someone how was in High-school when Bill Clinton was president and re-elected most of my peers thought he was cool, although my best friend liked Ross Perot. Also I have always liked Jay Leno and I don't know if any of you might remember it, but in one of his old Jay Walking's when he was in D.C. He was in front of the Lincoln Memorial and asked some one who was a teacher who that Memorial was for her response "You tell me." A wonderful example of why our government education is so bad.

I also want to post something on the revelations on the dropping of the charges on the New Black Panthers, it's just a political cartoon but it sums up the results.

Also I will post something about the postal rate increase in a few hours. I will also have something later on who I finally realize who Bill O'Reilly is reminding me of lately, hint it's a cartoon character.

The Prayer of the First Continental Congress in 1774. + More

This is the Full Official Prayer from the First Continental Congress, I thought it would be perfect considering the times,

America and Our Rights: Guns Part II.

I originally wrote this back on May 5th, but the recent Supreme Court ruling on the Second Amendment I decided to post it here with some additions.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg of NYC has made comments recently (May 4-5th 2010) complaining about guns coming from other states to NYC, saying “ Let me close by saying: this is not about the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers did not write the Second Amendment to empower people who wanted to terrorize a free state; they wrote it to protect people who could defend ‘the security of a free state.’ Today, the security of our free state is being tested by terrorists." “I urge you to take common sense steps to strengthen law enforcement – including closing the terror gap – and to protect the American people from more attacks.”
