...to change a light bulb - A Joke

Q- How many obamanites does it take to change a light bulb?

A- Hundreds of thousands of them, each one a lying politician, an unnecessary bureaucrat or an over paid member of the government employees union, who’s primary purpose is to fill out a dozen government forms, in triplicate, in order to pass the task of changing the light bulb on to the next person in the chain, thus costing the American taxpaying citizens millions of their hard earned dollars and insuring that the light bulb will never be changed until B.O. and his Social(ist) Democrat cohorts can pass a new law that mandates that every American replaces all of his or her own perfectly good, very dependable and relatively cheap incandescent light bulbs with those twisty, comparatively expensive CFLs (compact fluorescent lamps), that produce a harsh light, have an all too common tendency to over heat and catch on fire, and require special disposal procedures in order to prevent the mercury and other toxic substances in them from getting into the environment and poisoning us all.

Okay... So maybe it isn't very funny. Call it "Black Comedy" or "Dark Humor". You know what I mean. One of those things that that rather than making you say "That's funny", it makes you say "There's something funny about that". After all, there really isn't anything amusing about what B.O. and the rest of this "Blame America first" administration has been doing to this great nation is funny.

This is what is wrong with too many Republican politicians

This video of Tom Colburn seems to be an example of exactly what is wrong with most Republican politicians.




It appears that Mr. Coburn want to be seen as a nice guy. The problem with that is that in political battles, nice guys finish last.

He acts as though he is just trying to be "honest" about what the opposition is saying and doing. Thus, like a lawyer trying to get his client off on a technicality, he defends what the bill "says", without following up with a description of the clear and undeniable consequence of the bill "says". The problem is that by doing so, he present only a half truth, and a half truth is a whole lie. The whole truth is that any American who absolutely refuses to abide by every dotted “i” and every crossed “t” within the obamacare bill, especially the mandate to buy health insurance, will end up going to jail unless they back down.

Mr. Colburn states that that it is not the intent of the mandate to put Americans in jail. Well it is not the intent of laws against murder to put people in jail either. The intent of those laws is to discourage people from murdering other people. But these laws also give the judicial system the authority and power to punish those who commit murder; by at least separating them from the rest of society by putting them in jail.

So in that sense, it can “honestly” be said that it is not the intent of the mandate to put Americans in jail for freely choosing to not buy health insurance. However the bill does give the government the authority and power to punish those who do not buy insurance with fines, and to use the IRS to enforce those fines. And can anyone honestly say or believe that the IRS will not toss otherwise law abiding Americans into jail if they do not cooperate with the efforts of the IRS to enforce these fines?

Colburn also says, and this part really peeves me off, that Nancy ("Are you serious?") Pelosi is a nice person, and asks “how many of ya’ll have met her?” Well in response to that is that I never met Hitler either, but I know that he was not a good person. And despite the fact that I have read that in his private life, Adolf Hitler was an amiable person who loved children, that did not make him any less of an evil person. And just because Nancy P may or may not have an amiable personality does not make her a nice person.

He went on to say that “Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they’re not a good person.” Well in that he is correct. But it is not the fact that Nancy P disagrees with the majority of the American people that makes her evil.

It is the fact that she belittles, maligns and defames “We the People” who dare to have the unmitigated gall to stand in opposition to her agenda that makes her evil.

It is the fact that she eschews everything that our founding fathers believed in and established that makes her evil.

It is the fact that she has not only ignored the constitution, she has torn it to shreds, pissed on its tattered pieces and buried it in the pig excrement of socialism that makes her evil.

It is the fact that her clear intent is to reform and remake this nation into a clone of Europe that makes her evil.

It is her threats, arm twisting, bribery and other vile acts undertaken to insure that she and her cohorts can shove obamacare, cap and trade, and similar detrimental legislation down our throats that makes her evil.

It is her hatred of the producers and job creators and her love of those who feed at the national teat, consuming the fruits of other peoples risk taking and hard work, while giving nothing in return, that make her evil.

It is her efforts to take the "Blessings of Liberty" and Freedom away from “We the People” that makes her evil.

It is her objective to endow the government with absolute authority and power over the lives and livelihood of “We the People of the United States” of America that makes her evil.


Mr. Coburn’s closing statement was: “Having been on that side of the receiving end… I think members who agree with us philosophically ought to do everything to not demonize our opponents, but to win on the issues. In the long run we gain credibility and we gain respect when we do that. And we win, we win (unintelligible).”


I agree that we need to win on the issues. And I do not think we need to demonize our opponents. However, I do not see the likes of Nancy Pelosi as our opponents. She and her ilk are our in fact, by their own rhetoric have made it clear that they are enemies to Freedom, to Liberty, to Justice, and to the hard working people of the United States of America. And as such, they are fair game for demonization because their goal is to foist a demonic repression upon us.

Mr. Colburn either needs to grow a pair and stop worrying about not looking like a nice guy, and stop trying to reach across the isle when it is so clear that doing so means to compromise our founding principles, and to surrender our Freedom and Liberty… Or he needs to get the hell out of the way, and allow someone who is actually ready, willing and able to fight the domestic enemies of America, of her Constitution and of her citizens, do the job.

Another Bit of Bill Whittle Profundity

Greetings all,

I know I haven't posted anything here since before the beginning of the year, and for that I apologize. I hope to correct the situation and do better . In the mean time, if you haven't already seen or read this commentary by Bill Whittle of PJTV, you really need to do so…

Thank you for the prayers

I just wanted to let everyone know that our young Navy man got home safe. Not in the way he had originally planned, but safe none the less.

I may have more to say on that later, but for now I just want to thatnk everyone that took a few moments out of their day to say a pryer for our son's safe arrival,

MERRY CHRISTMAS all.

Prayer Request

My wife Susan and I would like to ask everyone to take a moment here and there throughout your day to say a small prayer for our son. He will be driving home, on leave from the Navy, to spend Christmas here with his family. His plan is to leave out early this afternoon, with the intent of arriving home around noon tomorrow. With the snow and all, conditions are less than ideal.

Please keep our young Navy man in your prayers, so that he can arrive safely.

Thank you all, and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Even Robots Love Christmas

Back when I was a young boy I saw a movie titled "Tobor the Great". It is not the greatest robot movie ever made, but it is the one that caused me to fall in love with robots. I had seen other movie robots, but I had never seen a robot that looked as cool as Tobor. Typically movie robots tended to look like waterheaters with arms and legs. I am sure that someone is going to want to ask me "What about Robbie from "The Forbidden Planet". Well I did not see Robbie until a couple of years later. HI ad seen Robbie first, he might well have had the same effect on me that Tobor did.

Anyway, because of Tobor, I did fall in love with robots and have been fascinated by then ever since. I have designed and built several small robots and robot related circuits, and written a few articles and how-to's as well over the years. I have also collected a few toy robots, and a large number of the DVDs that I own have robots in them.

The reason I have bored you with all of this is so that you might have at least a small idea of why on Earth I would want to share the following video with you.

Ray Stevens' Response to Obamacare

I found the video below on Bungalow Bill’s Blog this morning. Apparently he found it on The Right Stuff.

All I can say is that I am very grateful to both of them for two reasons.

1) I really enjoy Rat Stevens’ amusing way of getting to the point.
2) Ray hits the nail squarely on the head with this one. Especially when he says the we are “being royally defecated upon”.
