Tea Party Express- Denver 11/03

A cool night and a patriotic crowd showed up in downtown Denver last night when the tea party express bus backed it's way out of a busy street. My estimate ranged at 250-400 people, with a small liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd trying to cause fights and anarchy to downplay the event. The bus pulled in around sunset, snow still on the ground from our October storm, and a partially veiled moon peeked out behind some clouds. The bus got stuck in traffic and showed up late, but during that time people riled the crowd up with their signs and the chant of USA and FREEDOM! The crowd ranged from the very young of 4 all the way to men and women in their 80's, of all backgrounds and walks of life. As the tea party started, music was played, spirits were high, despite the cold, (global warming didn't show up), and a patriotic sense filled the atmosphere. A wide range of interesting speakers and songs followed. One of the most interesting part was when the liberal pro-nationalized health care crowd tried to storm our tea party. They could not get beyond the folks in the back, where I was close to, and so they resorted to interrupting our speaker, (Deborah Johns, vice chairman of PAC), and trying to pick fights. These liberals were uninformed and ignorant, yet were most likely paid off by the look of their signs, which were not home made, and were met by Americans who knew the facts of the current Piglosi bill. You could see they were scared by the looks in their eyes, not by violence, but the general feeling of the populace that has been growing of late. No doubt the libs wanted violence to break out as to downplay and condemn the entire event, but we took up the chant of USA, and after some arguments, they retreated and ran. After this whole ordeal Joe the Plumber gave a great speech, and others continued on. They are on their way to DC and on Thursday will have another tea party. All in all, the tea parties show the general feelings held by the country, and these upcoming elections are proof of that.

Let's take back America. It's not just conservatives that are riled. Independents are feeling betrayed, republicans are confused, the democrats are fighting their own party wars, and those that are indifferent and apathetic are seeing this administrations continuing failures. We need to continue flooding the offices of our representatives with phone calls, mail, and protests. We need to continue battling the liberals who see their power failing with facts and knowledge of the current bills and situations that surround us and our fellow countrymen abroad. The uninformed are being surprised that information that we provide is contradictory of what MSNBC or CNN says, and we can prove our statements, such as how much tax increases will result from the Piglosi bill. Lets not stop now.


I did not have a camera at this one, but I found these two sites you can check out. Both contain pictures and reflections on the event. http://thefreedomimages.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/tea-party-express-comes-to-denver/

10 things to do when the greenies come to town

After hearing about what Climate Chief Lord Stern said and finding the article on Crawfish's Swamp, I was thinking about what to do when a climate change/global warming conference is in your area...

1. Bring a Grill and invite your friends. Make sure somebody has a gas guzzling vehicle.

2. Run out of lighter fluid? Use something green and put that near the coals. Maybe the box from Al Gore's movie. I would also use Al Gore's movie for target practice.

3. Create a BIG sign that shows the average temperatures over the last 10 years... How could they be falling?!!!

4. Bring pictures of how the UN has "helped" the poor African Countries develop by demanding green energy or none.

5. Create pamphlets of Al Gores Scientific credentials (that'd be pretty small), and a pamphlet of a scientists opposing Globull warming and compare.

6. Smoke a nice Cuban Cigar next to a green crowd.

7. Ask Greenies why they are racist towards nuclear power?

8. Demand action be taken against our Sun for causing heat.

9. Petition for a bill to drop a Giant Ice cube the size of Rhode Island into the North Hemisphere to counteract the effects of Globull warming and to "save" the Polar Bear population.

10. Ask if Al Gore is an escaped mental patient.

funny article

I found this article dated back in 2003 while looking around the net. This article rips on 22 reasons about the bible that drive the left crazy.


  1. Moses parted the Red Sea without first performing an environmental impact study.
  2. Jesus gave a Sermon on the Mount where he talked of giving to the poor, and spoke out against greed, and all without charging attendees $300 per ticket. (Barbra Streisand only).
  3. The term "The Three Wise Men" is insensitive to the intellectually challenged. That should be changed to the "Trio of educationally advantaged amateur astronomers."
  4. Instead of gold, frankincense and myrrh, they should have brought hummus, incense and a representative from Child Protective Services.
  5. The Virgin Mary didn't first meet with consultants from Planned Parenthood.
  6. Ten plagues and still not a single person thought of nationalizing health care?
  7. Adam didn't ask Eve for verbal as well as written consent before touching her.
  8. Of course Cain killed Abel. He was obviously suffering either from bipolar disorder, low blood sugar, emotional abuse as a child, or societal neglect.
  9. "The trials of Job" were nothing. Try getting a job with nothing but a masters degree in Norwegian Art History – that's a test!
  10. Too bad Greenpeace didn't have their own ark so they could have rammed Noah's Ark. You just know that, after the flood, Noah sold those animals to the circus.
  11. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah could have easily been prevented if they would have passed hate-crime legislation sooner.
  12. Jesus is one of the greatest teachers in history, but isn't a member of the National Education Association. In other words, God uses scab labor.
  13. David slew Goliath simply because he was unfortunate enough to have been stricken with gigantism.
  14. "The Last Supper" didn't offer an option for people on gluten-free diets, and the fat content on the food was not labeled.
  15. The part about Jonah and the whale becoming entangled in tuna nets is conveniently passed over in the Old Testament.
  16. God should have spent the seventh day not resting, but rather going around putting warning stickers on all potentially dangerous, really pointy things.
  17. What's the big deal about Nebuchadnezzar spending seven years ingesting grass? Heck, Woody Harrelson's done it longer than that.
  18. The Bible mentions nothing about obtaining the necessary permits to build the Tower of Babel.
  19. People lived to be hundreds of years old without prescription-drug coverage? I don't think so.
  20. Jesus turned water into wine, which was not very mindful of those who happened to be teetering on the brink of plunging down the stairs of their 12-step program.
  21. Of all the wealth possessed by King Solomon, the amount he donated to environmental causes: $0.

And the thing about the Bible that drives the left the most crazy? People can find salvation without their assistance.

Some differences between liberals and Conservatives

Conservatives believe in freedom, responsibility, and self reliance.

Liberals believe in government restrictions and collectives.

Conservatives believe in right and wrong.

Liberals feel nothing is wrong, unless a conservative believes something is.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he simply doesn't go to church

The non-believing liberals demand that the church be censored due to hate speech.

If a conservative does not like a talk show host, they simply switch the station.

If a liberal does not like a talk show host, they demand the station be shut down or censored.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, we weigh decisions on how to oppose and/or defeat it.

If a liberal sees an enemy they do their best to appease them.

A conservative will thank a soldier for their service.

A liberal will scoff at them.

If a conservative does not like guns they simply do not buy them.

If a liberal doesn't like guns they make sure no one else can have them.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, they simply won't eat meat.

If a liberal is a vegetarian, they'll want to ban meat products altogether.

If a conservative sees a US flag, their heart fills with pride.

If a liberal sees the US flag, their heart fills with shame.

Conservatives see illegal immigrants as lawbreakers due to their inability or lack thereof to gain green cards or US citizenship.

Liberals see illegal immigrants as potential democratic voters and sob story cases.

Conservatives don't want to know what goes on in your bedroom.

Liberals support those who do for votes.

Conservatives realize how dangerous repeat offenders are and know most cannot be reasoned with.

Liberal compassion results in repeat offenders and worse offenses.

Conservatives will look at both sides of the scientific equation before taking a stance, such as Global Warming.

Liberals will blindly believe anybody with a D in front of their name and never takes an oppositions viewpoint, except out of context.

Conservatives will track down a saying or stance to make sure that the person said it.

Liberals simply make one up.

Conservatives learn from history and use that information to make sure mistakes aren't recreated.

Liberals create their own history and recreate mistakes made.

Conservative policies encourage new inventions to better the human condition through our economic society.

Liberal policies kill motivation and risky financial investments taken by small businesses or companies.

Conservatives debate using facts and will admit when their wrong.

Liberals debate through insulting, emotional sob stories, and I've only heard one liberal admit they were wrong.

Conservative protests are peaceful, yet powerful, and the areas remain clean.

Liberal protests end in arrests, looting, massive deployment of police departments with riot gear and the area is trashed.

Conservatives know many more people are conservative, even if they do not know.

Liberals believe the conservative movement is dying, though conservatives outnumber liberals.



I believe I've merely touched on the differences. Add your own if you have any.

Winning and Losing

Looks like Global Warming has decided to take a vacation.


I'd thought I'd weigh in my opinion on winning and losing. Very important lessons that everybody should learn early, regardless of how they feel about it. Take the NFL for instance. There's taunting, cheap hits, excessive celebrations, and even personal vendettas, but in the end, they shake hands, players from both sides pray together, and possibly settle personal differences the game may have brought. There are, of course, the extremely childish players, but taken aside they are usually focused on by the media. I believe kids should learn the lessons of losing and winning at an early age. I remember t-ball at the young age of 4. Score was kept and even at that tender age lessons were learned as I progressed through little league. If we got creamed we analyzed our mistakes, misfortunes, and built off of that. If we won, we celebrated, but after shaking hands with our opponents, and continued on. Whether you like sports or not, these lessons can help you progress in many areas of life. Each day we experience wins and losses, and depending on how we take it, and how we carry ourselves in these situations, can really affect the outcome of you and those around you. Take Obama, for instance. He won the presidency and look how he has responded. It makes you wonder how he really was in high school basketball. I also played HS basketball, and there would be no way I'd act like he currently is. Now lets take some of the republicans. They lost, and some have taken it very badly, while others have rebounded and are using that loss to reevaluate themselves. I've even learned from all the sports I have participated in and still participate in. Being turned down for a job, rebounding, and try again. It's like a wide receiver missing a wide open catch, he doesn't give up, he tries again. Now if you voted for Obama and still approve of him, are you really showing your classy "winner" selves with the, "you are losers"," you lost" ,"dying away," and other insults? You think we are taking the loss by disapproving all of Obama and his administrations' policies? NO! We disapprove of the massive enlargement of government, the political science known as global warming, the attacks on concerned citizens, the lack of concern of Islamic Extremists, the lack of truth and partisanship shown by the media, and the anti-American thought and immoral ways of living being taught to our youth. No, we are not losers. We are seeing this administration and it's supporters deny the very words Obama took when he was sworn in. You really think you're winners? The winners are the patriots who have fought for this country with blood, deed, and the love of freedom.Winners very own signatures reside on the constitution. Winners deny the hatred and envy of America shown by the rest of the world. The winners are the immigrants who flee from persecution from their former government or a war, become citizens, and work in freedom and peace. Winners are those who show belief in our system, and always look for ways of improving while staying on top.

Obama's dream of a socialist America is a loser. He's taping the other teams and using their plays. If Obama wants to watch ESPN and turn his losing streak around , he better start listening to the crowd in the stadium, the American people.

America bashing continues

So, Obama's UN speech continued to bash America and Israel as well. Apparently the last 9 months Obama has created a new America worth talking to, working with, and something to be proud of...... His terrorist, America hating - nutbag leaders agreed wholeheartedly. Notice how he subtly blames the previous administration without mentioning Bush's name. But apparently our pre-messiah days we "were" the most evil, corrupt, greedy, racist nation in the world where we evil conservatives with Bush at the helm kept the "enlightened" ones down.

Isn't it funny that every time liberals talk about the previous administration, they think we've backed up Bush's every policy wholeheartedly when in fact we made sure we'd voice our stance if we disagreed. Liberals follow Obama so blindly they'd nuke themselves if asked. They follow St. Gore and his message without listening to any opposition or facts. Most probably follow Darwin and believe they've evolved from us "lower" species. They've thrown God out of the public circle,  as in Europe, and willingly adopted their feel good ethics. Why is freedom never celebrated by liberals? Why are our freedoms the envy of the entire world?

Obama also said that we've stopped torturing captured enemies during his "reign." The liberal double standard shines so bright we would not need the sun for daytime. They call water boarding torture yet seem to call it training for our soldiers. I'm sorry libs, it's either torture or it's not. It can't be both. Obama also said Gitmo is closed. Hmmm, I think it still remains.

The liberal wet dream that is disarmament and friendliness exceeds stupidity. If we disarm, close Gitmo, call for negotiations, terrorists cells will realize that we have a president who refuses reality and sympathizes with American haters, increasing motivation to put into action plans to annihilate western culture and people. Something about Neville Chamberlain and the Nazi's come to mind..... Like I said, their wet dream about being nice to people like that need some history lessons. (Not the liberal history where evil capitalism is destroying the world).

Liberals. Do you realize that you are supporting a president who has rebuked what every citizen before us has fought for, gave heart and soul for, and died for? The president that you voted for puts more emphasis on attacking his own citizens while ignoring the pleas and cries for help across the world. The president you voted for has either forgotten, or simply despises the help America gives needy countries with food drops, missionaries, schools or infrastructure, funding, and potential job opportunities. The president hates the very thing that made him rich. Can you say hypocrite?

Why, if America is so evil, is the US dollar taken almost everywhere? Why, if America is so evil, do more immigrants flock here in greater numbers than anywhere else in the world? Why, if America is so evil, do countries ask for our help? Why, if America is so evil, do you even live here?

A new life

Well, this week has been truly life changing. The Good news first. My wife is pregnant! We've been married for over a month now, I'm 24 and she's 25, and have been blessed to meet one another. Now the bad news. I can't flight instruct anymore due to lack of students, plus  the economy in it's horrible state, and my wife and I had to move into my mother-in-laws house, with my wife's two older siblings - (ages 28-30). My wife is currently working  30-40 hours a week. Now begins the long haul for bringing a special gift into our lives. Due to financial stresses we are most likely forced to apply for Medicaid. I have been actively looking for a job, but due to so many folks outside of work, experience is the key to being hired. I'm one year out of college and am overlooked for that detail. In fact, if it wasn't for this recession, I was told I would have been hired months ago at the company I really wanted to work for. I have figured out that if I'm not hired I may go back to school to become an Air Traffic Controller. Now with all this in mind, my government, our so called leaders, are spending our money into oblivion and calling me an extremist for being worried.  Not only do I have my wife and I to think about, but my first child is growing in my wife and he/she should be given the best life we can give him/her.

Anyway, I am very excited to have this child. I pray that when my children grow up they'll have a better economic standing than we do, as well as politicians who actually listen to the people. This will be an interesting few years. Any advice or suggestions from you would be a blessing.

Something different

I have not been blogging for a year yet and would like a change of pace here. This isn't about politics, economics, or religion. This is about Football. I grew up a huge football fan, both of college and NFL. I grew up playing 8-man football, ( I lived in a very small town in Iowa), played intramural in college and taught at the YMCA flag football to ages 3-14. If you were wondering, I'm a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan and since moving to Denver have become a Broncos fan, whose season looks dismal. So, I'd thought I'd make some predictions and would love to see your thoughts if you viewed any of the games from Thursday to today.

AFC

Watching the games and knowing this is just the first season, many new players and jitters, and very excited fan bases, the first games proved interesting. Titans showed they could hang with the former superbowl champs, and I believe they'll put together a playoff team, going further than last year's surprising loss. Steelers will no doubt make the playoffs and take the North, in my opinion. The Jets showed their worth without Favre, but I think they'll fall behind the Patriots in the East. Even though my Broncos won I see San Diego taking charge of the west. Sorry to you Bengals fans, we got very lucky! The South will be taken back by Tennessee and Indianapolis in a close second.

NFC

The East: I believe Philadelphia will make up for last year and take control of that division with the Giants nipping at their heels. I think Dallas will be a close third. Green Bay surprised me with a strong defense but will be trailing Minnesota. My surprise was seeing a talented Atlanta team taking the South with a very close record to New Orleans. The West won't be very strong this year, but I see Seattle having the best record.


Let me know how you saw the first week and what you think.

This is ACORN






I found out that the girl who pretended to be a prostitute is a 20 year old aspiring journalist. Why aren't there more like her on the major news networks? She paid to do this undercover story herself, her friend helped her playing a politician, and she even showed her face on FOX!! She will be attacked by ACORN employees and others who would probably say that this is a smear campaign, lies, etc. etc. And Acorn has the eligibility to receive billions of our tax dollars?! How long will this story take to reach the major news networks?? This is the type of organization Obama has associated with and still approves.....

The Obama Cartoon





And Another Cartoon










Suppose that every day, ten men go out for dinner and the bill for all comes to $100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:


The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing like they do now with the present income tax structure.


The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59 of the bill.
So that is what the ten men decide to do.


The ten men ate dinner in the restaurant every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. “Since you all are such good customers I am going to reduce the cost of your daily meal by $20”. Dinner for the 10 men now costs just $80...


The group still wanted to pay the bill the same way that they paid their taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still eat for free. But what about the other six men -- the Paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everybody would get his “Fair Share”?


They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to eat their meal…
So, the restaurant owner suggested it would be fair to reduce each mans bill roughly the same amount; and proceeded to work out the amounts each man would pay.


The fifth, like the first four now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth man now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings)
The seventh man now paid $5 instead of $7 (28% savings)
The eight man now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings)
The ninth man now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings)
The tenth man now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings)


Each of the six was better off then before. And the first four continued to eat for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings…


“I only got a dollar out of the $20,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man “but he got $10”…
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a dollar, too. Its unfair that he got ten times more than me!?”
“That’s true”, shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison. “We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploit’s the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth man and beat him up…


The next night the Tenth man did not show up for dinner, so the Nine sat down and ate without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half the bill!


And that Boys & Girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start eating overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier…





Here is an Article worth reading. Very funny. Courtesy of the Onion.
