Remember '08?
Nashville is going through what Cedar Rapids went through,
Was it only two years ago??
Nashville Flood 2010: The Disaster You May Not Have Heard About
A great American city is currently buried under a sea of water, but you may not know much about it given all the attention media have given to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the failed car bomb attempt in New York's Times Square.
The rain totals are almost unimaginable as is the flooding.
Damage estimates at this point have already surpassed a billion dollars, and are likely to go higher.
My Hometown Paducah Ky is about 25 miles or so downstream of where the Cumberland joins the Ohio
Flooding there seems to be pretty much out in the country due to Barkley Dam
Flooding below Barkley Dam and Interstate 24 (background) is extensive. Barge companies are adjusting their routes, and the U.S. Coast Guard ordered recreational vessels off the Ohio and Cumberland rivers and Kentucky and Barkley lakes. The unprecedented ban is expected to continue until at least Monday. Violators could face a fine up to $32,500.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — The U.S. Coast Guard is warning that some rural parts of Kentucky are about to be inundated by the worst flooding in 200 years
Day Of Reckoning
Listen to this Video while you read the following
This song speaks to me in a special way.
If it does not do the same to to you,
Then I am happy for you.
Not because it means you are unfeeling, callous or indifferent,
But because it means you are fortunate.
If you have ever looked into eyes that are two slits out of the Pits of Hell,
It changes you.
If you have had that happen more than once
And even more, have that within you that which resonates with that pain from your own personal experience, though it originates from a totally different cause.
It Marks you,
And anywhere anytime you can see those marks in someone else.
I have looked into the Soul of the American Electorate and seen the Marks there.
For too long the Political Class has beaten us down, slapped us around, cheated, robbed and lied to us.
Some of us have bought into the lies, that, this is just the way things are.
That it is somehow our fault and what we deserve.
When a few have stood up to claim that what has been happening is wrong and against what this Nation was founded to Stand for,
We are called extremist, fringe, racist, xenophobes, clinging to our guns and thumping our Bibles.
They ridicule and defame us and then to add insult to injury, when we respond, decry the lack of civility in public discourse and put the blame on us.
In other words they use all the tricks and tools that someone who thinks they are Masters use to keep Slaves in their proper place,
But we are NOT Slaves, we are Free men and Women in the first Society in the History of the Human Race that stands for the Rights of the Individual rather than an Autocratic Elite.
They do not like us to remember that,
To us has been given Three Things that stand as a Beacon of Light to the World
The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
It is time to take back our Heritage from those who have betrayed it.
To paraphrase the song above with some slight alteration of it's words
Let Freedom Ring,
Let the Eagle Scream
Let the whole world know that
November 2cd
Will be a Day of Reckoning
Let the Weak be Strong
For the Right's been Wronged
Roll The Stone Away,
Let the Guilty pay,
It's Independence Day
I declare the 2cd American Revolution and it is for the same reason
that the 1st was declared, Read the Declaration of Independence and
see for yourselves if what sparked it, is not upon us now,
There may be those now as back then who do not want any trouble of or '
confrontation. Who are content to let others make their decisions for
them and be taken care of.
For them I repeat the words of Samuel Adams to those of that opinion in
his day.
If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude than the
animated contest of freedom, go
from us in peace. We ask not your
counsels or arms. Crouch down and
lick the hands which feed you. May
your chains sit lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you
were our countrymen!”

The Next Generation Will Vote Republican
You can forget about The Health Care Take Over
You can forget about Cap and Trade, about Illegal Aliens and Voter Fraud
While these are Vital and Important Issues, there ARE some things which are
Sacred.
A county supervisor in California wants to ban Happy Meal toys and other similar treats that are given away with children's fast food meals.
This same county in Silcon Valley issued a law in 2008 that required chain restaurants to include a calorie count on their menus, which was later adopted by the state of California. And trends that start in California often spread to the rest of the nation.
Ken Yeager, the Santa Clara County Supervisor, is presenting a law at Tuesday's county board meeting to ban toys given away with unhealthy food. He believes the toys are used to encourage children to eat fatty, sugary, high-calorie meals that can lead to childhood obesity.
Yes when you start attacking Happy Meals and Ronald McDonald
You are going TOO FAR!!!!
And here I thought the Progressives were after the Young Vote.

When Mountains Move
They say if you can apply enough force, you can move mountains.
I have given some thought to this, as I come from People who really don't like being "moved" by outside forces that much.
I am Ani Yun Wiwa (Of the Total of All Real People)
My Great Aunt Ruby (who was a Medicine Woman) said to me when I was a boy, "Danny you just look White, NEVER forget that you are Really CHEROKEE."
If you know the History of my Ancestors you realize we REALLY don't like being moved. If you don't, you can see why Here.
That's my Mother's side, mostly from Cherokee, Welsh and Irish Stock,
My Father's People come from the Mountains of Pennsylvania, Platt Deutch, Pennsylvania Dutch and Scots.
So I am descended from a rather stiff necked stubborn stock.
Which makes me by nature Conservative.
It is not that my People cannot accept change its just that we think what is good enough for the North American Continental Plate is good enough for us.
A sedate Plate Tech tonic shift of say, 5 to 10 centimeters a year give one time to consider the direction and implications.
So it was with my own particular cultural matrix I listened to Iowa's National Committeeman expounding on some actions by our Party Leadership at the 2cd District Convention last Saturday.
You can find some information on that subject on the Iowa Independent website in
Iowa’s Scheffler supports GOP ‘purity test’
Iowa Christian Alliance President and Republican National Committee member Steve Scheffler is among 10 co-sponsors of a resolution being circulated that aims to impose a conservative litmus test on potential GOP candidates.
The resolution, dubbed a “purity test” by the media, became public Monday. It lists 10 positions Republican candidates should support to demonstrate that they “espouse conservative principles and public policies” that are in opposition to “Obama’s socialist agenda.” Any Republican candidate who breaks with the guidelines of the resolution on three or more of these issues would be penalized by being denied party funds or the party endorsement.
Mr Scheffler mentioned the New York Politician Dierdre Scozzafava as an example. What he failed to mention was that it was the Voters who rejected her and the Party Leadership there which chose her.
Also not mentioned was the peculiar case of Senator Arlen Specter who did not seem to have much of a problem with the Republican Party LEADERSHIP, but was quick to jump ship when it became apparent that the Voters were probably going to reject him in the next Primary.
It is for those reasons along with my Native Conservative Nature that I feel that any "Litmus Test" needs to be left in the hands of the Party Membership and not entrusted to the Party Leadership, who have been sorely failing in that area.
The only Litmus Test I can in good conscience support is that rendered by the VOTERS in a PRIMARY.
Most of us are Adults and WE can decide for OURSELVES who we want to represent US.
The Party Leadership does not seem to have a good track record in this area anyway.
To go back to what I started this with I think it is true, if you apply enough force you CAN move mountains,
I also think the Political Class in this country HAS applied that force, but perhaps unwittingly, and the Mountains of the Poltical Desires of the Body Plolitic ARE on the move.
There are two other truths, if the Mountians Move, you had best be going in the same direction as they are or get out of their way.
IMO Mr Scheffler has not taken these truths to heart and feels that he can LEAD us in the direction HE chooses.

Tax Slavery Day
This just in
By overwhelming majority, the people who responded to my inquiry about where to hold the April 15th tax slavery protest have voted to take our protest to the state run silent media. so with that said, we will be holding out lunch hour protest at the corner of green square park and the KCRG/Gazette building, 11:30 am 12:30 pm. on Thursday April 15th 2010.
Bring your signs, your voice and your outrage.
Let the state run media outlets know that we will no longer tolerate their poor "reporting" and slanted headlines made to cover up an unpopular President, Governor and legislature.
headlines like this pretty much sums up the fine job our Iowa media outlets are doing.
I know a lot of people are working, but if we wait until late in the day, we have no chance of getting any media exposure.
See you there and as always, spelling and grammar mistakes are mine !

Now some may think this is Hyperbole, for them I present the following to mull over
Whenever there is talk of Tax Cuts the Left gets hysterical about what the Republicans are "giving" to the Rich.
Set aside for the moment that average hardworking American Families will also get tax buts.
Consider the concept of a Tax Cut as GIVING someone money.
Let me put it in simpler terms. Say in the form of a Word Problem such as we might have worked in Grade School
If John sticks a gun in Richard's face and has him empty the $100 dollars Richard has in his wallet into John's hands but does NOT (because he did not know about it) have him hand over the $200 Richard has stuck down in his boot.
How much money did John GIVE to Richard???
Now MY answer is NOTHING, not ONE RED CENT was given to Richard by John.
The Progressive Left would do this calculation differently.
Just think 100 years or so during the rise of Unionism, Socialism and Marxism, the Left spoke fervently about the Right of the Workers to the Proceeds of their Labor.
But it is now the 21st Century and the Progressive Left has a New Paradigm.
The Proceeds of YOUR Labor is now the Common Property of Mankind and anything that the Collective leaves to you is the GIFT of the Benevolent State,
If you disagree with those concepts join your fellows on April 15 and exercise your Right to
peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
And if anyone should have the gall to tell you that what you are doing just shows how Racist you are?
Just look confused and say, "But Marxism is not a Race."

HIDDEN IN THE BILL!
Unbelievable - Harry Reid Hidden deep in the Health Care Bill this passage.
They never stop, they will keep trying to shove this down our throats until they get it through... pass on to everyone...
The impudent tyranny of Sen. Harry Reid
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is proving once again... the maxim that darkness hates the light. ... See More
Buried in his massive amendment to the Senate version of Obama care is Reid's anti-democratic poison pill designed to prevent any future Congress from repealing the central feature of this monstrous legislation!
Beginning on page 1,000 of the measure, Section 3403 reads in part: ". it shall not be in order in the Senate or the House of Representatives to consider any bill, resolution, amendment or conference report that would repeal or otherwise change this subsection."
In other words, if President Barack Obama signs this measure into law, no future Senate or House will be able to change a single word of Section 3403, regardless whether future Americans or their representatives in Congress wish otherwise!!
Note that the subsection at issue here concerns the regulatory power of the Independent Me dicare Advisory Board (IMAB) to "reduce the per capita rate of growth in Me dicare spending."
That is precisely the kind of open ended grant of regulatory power that effectively establishes the IMAB as the ultimate arbiter of the cost, quality and quantity of health care to be made available to the American people. And Reid wants the decisions of this group of unelected federal bureaucrats to be untouchable for all time.
No wonder the majority leader tossed aside assurances that senators and the public would have at least 72 hours to study the text of the final Senate version of Obama care before the critical vote on cloture. And no wonder Reid was so desperate to rush his amendment through the Senate, even scheduling the key tally on it at 1 a.m., while America slept.
True to form, Reid wanted to keep his Section 3403 poison pill secret for as long as possible, just as he negotiated his bribes for the votes of Senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Bernie Sanders of Vermont behind closed doors.
The final Orwellian touch in this subversion of democratic procedure is found in the ruling of the Reid controlled Senate Parliamentarian that the anti repeal provision is not a change in Senate rules, but rather of Senate "procedures." Why is that significant?
Because for 200 years, changes in the Senate's standing rules have required approval by two thirds of those voting, or 67 votes rather than the 60 Reid's amendment received.
Reid has flouted two centuries of standing Senate rules
to pass a measure in the dead of night that no senator has read, and part of which can never be changed. If this is not tyranny, then what is?
DON'T SIT BY AND LET THIS HAPPEN IN THE DARK!!! FORWARD TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST!
Pelosi: we have to pass the health care bill so that you can find out what is in it

Slaughtering the Constitution
It would appear that the House is really uneasy about actually voting on Obamacare again so they are just going to PRETEND that they voted to pass a bill.
This tactic is called the Slaughter Rule and I think that is what it does to the Constituion.
Nancy Pelosi explains to the American Public why it is so important to do this.

The Turtle And The Scorpion
As the story is told, the river was rising in Flood.
A scorpion and a turtle were trapped on an island.
The turtle decided to try to swim to the shore.
The scorpion asked the turtle to let him ride on his back.
"No way" replied the turtle, "you will sting me."
"That would be insane." answered the scorpion, "We would both die then."
Seeing the logic, the turtle let the scorpion on his back.
When they were halfway to safety the scorpion stung the turtle.
"Why did you do that?" the turtle cried as he sank below the waves.
"It is my nature." the scorpion called back,
"It is what scorpions do, you KNEW that when you let me on your back!"
I thought about this story, when I heard that Christopher Reed had been told that his Social Conservative credentials were lacking and that a substantial PAC of Social Conservatives would be putting forth their own candidate for Iowas Second Congressional District.
One of the first thoughts that popped into my mind was.
This will help Miller-Meeks.
That was reinforced when I saw this Poll on a Website.
Now all Polls can be subjective.
What makes this one interesting is that it is on a website run by a Social Conservative.
The same person, I am informed who broke the news to Mr Reed that he was lacking as a Social Conservative, and who was seen recently gathering signatures for the Petition of the new candidate.
The second thing that popped into my mind was:
In what Universe is Christopher Reed not completely and without any reservations whatsoever NOT committed to the Cause of Social Conservatism??
Look at the Poll.
A few things are crystal clear.
This new event is not going to hurt Miller-Meeks.
The arrival of a second Social Conservative Candidate, from the SAME locale, Marion, cannot accomplish anything but split the ranks of Social Conservatives.
Call me an untrusting paranoid, but I, to paraphrase Shakespeare,
Smell something Rotten in the State of Iowa.
