Memorial Day
On this Memorial Day we need to reflect on the Americans who have fallen in order to protect our country and our way of life. Go out of your way to thank an active duty service member or veteran, they have stood on the line between our reletively safe lives and the anarchy of a savage world. May God bless the USA and her citizens and her citizen soldiers.

Play On Words...
Usually when looking for something on the Internet, something I am not looking for finds me, for example: A new patient dressed only in saran wrap enters the psychiatrist's office, the doctor looks up and says: "I can clearly see, you're nuts." Some days....

The American Police State
Like it or not the USA is rapidly becoming a police state to rival the old Soviet empire. With the US courts eliminating our Fourth Amendment rights, constant video taping, and police killing citizens we are looking more like one of the 'banana republics' we so like to make fun of. The 10th Circuit Court has issued over 200 'sneak and peek' search warrants, which enable law enforcement to enter your home or business, search through your belongings, and not inform you that the search ever happened, much less what they were searching for, this clearly violates the letter and spirit of the 4th Amendment. And in Indiana the courts were more blatant: Read this, from Indiana Supreme Court Justice Steven David: “A right to resist an unlawful police entry into a home is against public policy and is incompatible with modern Fourth Amendment jurisprudence. We also find that allowing resistance unnecessarily escalates the level of violence and therefore the risk of injuries to all parties involved without preventing the arrest.”
As one of the two dissenting judges wrote, the ruling “sweeps with far too broad a brush by essentially telling Indiana citizens that government agents may now enter their homes illegally – that is, without the necessity of a warrant, consent or exigent circumstances.”
And it gets worse:FEMA is preparing a list of farms and what they produce so that in 'case of emergency' they know where to come to confiscate (government jargon for stealing) the farmers crops.
Local police are regularly killing honest citizens: Detroit police shot and killed a seven-year-old girl during an early morning raid of a home on the city’s east side Sunday morning. The child, Aiyana Stanley Jones, was struck in the head and neck area while sleeping on a couch at the home on Lillibridge Street.
"Vanessa Guerena thought the gunman might be part of a home invasion -- especially because two members of her sister-in-law's family, Cynthia and Manny Orozco, were killed last year in their Tucson home, her lawyer, Chris Scileppi, said. She shouted for her husband in the next room, and he woke up and told his wife to hide in the closet with the child, Joel, 4.
SWAT officers fired at least 71 shots at suspect Jose Guerena, a former U.S. Marine, and a family struggles to put the pieces together. Guerena grabbed his assault rifle and was pointing it at the SWAT team, which was trying to serve a narcotics search warrant as part of a multi-house drug crackdown, when the team broke down the door. At first the Pima County Sheriff's Office said that Guerena fired first, but on Wednesday officials backtracked and said he had not. "The safety was on and he could not fire," according to the sheriff's statement."
DeAuntae Farrow, 12, who was shot twice by a West Memphis police officer just over a week ago was laid to rest over the weekend. The accused officer said Farrow was playing with a toy gun, which he mistook as real.
When Tony Arambula managed to corner an armed intruder in his son's bedroom he expected police to come to his aid.
Instead, a Phoenix police officer confused Arambula for the intruder and shot him six times before realizing his mistake, a moment captured on the 911 call with a simple "F**k."
Even after realizing their mistake, Arambula said he was treated roughly, being dragged out of the house and transported briefly on the hood of a police car.
Now Arambula, 35, who survived but faces a lifetime of pain, is suing the city of Phoenix and the officers who responded to his house that night.
The lawsuit, filed in Maricopa County Court, alleges that Phoenix Police Officer Brian Lilly and his on-scene supervisor, Sgt. Sean Coutts, quickly conspired to cover up the mistake, not realizing that 911 was still recording Arambula's call for help.
We the people have to know what is going on and hold the government accountable. We have to be responsible for governing ourselves, as our founders intended, or we will return to the tyranny our founders fought against. Now is the time for ballots, not bullets; for reason, not action; for preperation for when the wolves vote on what is for dinner.

Obama Tells Israel to Return to Pre-1967 War Borders
Isn't that fascinating? History repeating itself, yet again. I am reminded of Chamberlain telling Czechoslovakia that they had to surrender the Sudetenland to Hitler to insure "Peace in our Time". We saw how well that worked out. Now Obama wants Israel to surrender all lands they gained when the Arabs attacked them in the various wars since 1967. Why would a US president want to undermine Israel in such a way? Why would any national leader want to undermine a key ally of so many years? I am assuming that since Obama's speech in Texas, USA, that he would want the US to return to the borders we had with Mexico in 1846. The last two speeches of the 'President' would encourage the extremists of the middle east to intensify their attacks on Israel and would encourage the criminal cartels running Mexico to increase their illegal smuggling of drugs and people (513 illegals caught in two tractor trailer trucks bound for the US). Both situations are bad for the US and its honest citizens and this US government seems to be dead set on undermining our allies and our country. Obama, born to spread the misery.

Bad Politicians on Both Sides of Border
Get ready, Cinco de Mayo is coming and all the usual suspects will be out praising the illegals here in the USA. One thing that the USA and Mexico has in common is that both have bone headed politicians, for example, Mexican opposition senators are proposing legislation to ... fight drug cartels? No....to introduce a bill of rights for their people? No.... try to draw more industry to their impoverished nation? No.....The legislation they are proposing is to ban bullfighting.... With all the critical issues facing Mexico, these animal rights wackos are concerned with bullfighting. Sounds like some of our loopy legislation, doesn't it? Maybe they are counting on Obama to grant amnesty to all illegals in exchange for voting democrat and the entire population will go north so they can be left to love their bulls in private. Who knows, sounds like San Francisco to me. But seriously, make sure you fly the flag of the USA on May 5, 2011, here, in the USA.
