Nanny Calls Summit on Texting While Driving

"The Obama administration will convene a summit of experts to figure out what to do about the problem of texting while driving."

Experts? Teen-aged girls? Seriously, who is an expert on this? This kind of crap drives me insane!

The follows right in line w/ increasing taxes on tobacco, sodas, fast food, output of atmospheric gases, transportation(oil and gasoline), heating and cooling (coal). Nanny Barry wants to legislate your personal activity to control your life and dictate your activities to meet their ideological goals. Before inauguration day some pundits conjectured that Barry wanted to be loved, be a great President and get a second term. I say they are wrong; that was Billy Jeff Clinton, the glory hound. Barry is an ideologue. He wants to "transform" the country - his words, not mine.


That is why, I believe, he and Rahm and Nancy and Reid and all the other Reds in DC are rushing everything to the floor for votes. The transparency they so loudly boasted was coming under Democrat rule died before it ever saw the light of day. Not one piece of proposed legislation has been posted online for the 48 or 72 hours of review they claimed it would be. Barry and his ilk want to hurry and push through as much transformational legislation that we will have a very tough time overturning legislatively - if ever. They also know that if they get the unions more power and money they are almost ensured re-election in perpetuity. They can do this through EFCA, immigration "reform" (read: amnesty for illegals), government giveaways, control (manipulation) of the census.


They see money as power and they want both. They'll tax you into oblivion, then give you your money back as they see fit - only for doing the things they want you to do. Make no mistake, taxes are going up on everyone - indirect taxes you'll pay in the form of higher prices and income taxes. Have a great day!

Random Thoughts on the World's Craziness

Sotomayor Wrong Again

This New Haven, CT firefighters case is ridiculous. These firefighters studied their asses off and passed a test that was created by specialty firm, hired by the city, then tested and validated to be an effective and accurate tool to determine who were the best of the bunch and who would make the best candidates for promotions. Why the hell did the city then penalize them for playing by the rules that they set? To avoid a "potential" lawsuit from civil rights groups. So they screwed one group of people to "help" another? Sounds like Barry redistributing the wealth.

Why didnt' the city stand up for itself when they were right? Unless they didn't want to be right, or they were plagued by "white guilt" like so many in government are. It is absolutely ridiculous.

I don't want people in critical positions in my own company who only got where there are through the help of a numbers game instead of on their own skill and merits. Not to mention jobs where lives can be at stake, such as police, firefighters, auto mechanics, pilots, construction workers, Supreme Court Justices....

Sotomayor is a self-admitted product of the affirmative action system. She claimed her test scores coming out of college were not the best, but she still got into a top law school. She said in the early 1990's that she is "...a product of affirmative action" and her "test scores were not comparable to my colleagues at Princeton and Yale." And now we find out this isn't the first time she's been on the side of the "oppressed." In the 1980's she helped hispanic police officers challenge a promotions exam in NYC while part of a Puerto Rican legal advocacy organization. Shocking!

Past colleagues and lawyers who have argued cases in front of her speak negatively of her professional demeanor and approach to cases, her opinions are described as short, weak, and poorly thought out. She has been accused of showing blatant disrespect to and belittling of lawyers. Her opinions lead to more centralized power with the Fed and less power for the states- exactly opposite of what the country needs now.

But alas, she will still get in because the Dems are blind to right and wrong, and the Repubs are weak and won't stand up for principle and the best for the nation. It won't change the make up of the court - Souter was no conservative or centrist. It is the next 1, 2 or 3 that Barry may get to appoint that will screw the country for decades.

Story of the day - good for this homeowner, bad for the burglar. Ouch!

Barry waits over a week to say anything about the Iran uprising against dictators, but rushes to the teleprompter to speak out against the Honduras gov and military removing their President when he tried to grab power through unconstitutional additional terms in office. He is on the same side as Castro, Ortega and Chavez. Is anyone surprised by this?

Holy cow, I hope this isn't true, but you can put the pieces together and decide. What about this one? Pamela Gellar over at Atlas Shrugs is no nonsense. She puts it all out there to read and see.

All for now. I can't read anymore tonight. Sleep tight.

Extremists?

Looking over the DHO report on the looming danger of "right-wing extremism" in America, I thought it wise to do some self-examination.

The first thing about this report that really hacks me off is the VERY FIRST line of the "Key Findings" section: "The DHS....has no specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits..." The report then states that the economic downturn and the election of Obama "present unique drivers....."

Then the report attacks returning military personnel as a danger, citing the 1995 OKC bombing by McVeigh. Dispicable.

After reading the report, I think I may someone they are warning me about. Let's analyze...

Conservative political views - yes.
3rd Party support - not yet.
Constitutional principles - of course.
Support state's rights - yep.
Out of control Federal Gov and overspending - even a doubt?
Gun owner - right again.
Favor control of our borders against illegal immigration - always.
Mililtary vet - no, but I certainly support them.

We know can put a few puzzle pieces together. The new Administration doesn't want to call the radical Muslim terrorists terrorists, they won't use the phrase global war on terror, they want to get snuggly with Castro, Chavez, Putin and talk to Kim of N. Korea and Ahmadine-jihad of Iran. But, if you love your country, and the basic principles it was founded on, and want to see it grow strong and secure again, the US government needs to watch you. I'm sure they were watching all the tea party protesters last week. Don't these folks look dangerous?

Oh, OK, I get it. The backtracking by Janet Napolitano after this report has been laughable. How this woman got this job, when she couldn't even control her state's border, is a disgrace and she needs to go. She knew about the report and what it said and she supported it. Now she's suggested that terrorists have been coming across the nothern border from Canada as well....and more backtracking and correcting.

Do we really have 4 more years of this?
