Our UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador on Iraq
... And I always thought this chick was an ass-kicker. She just sealed the deal on this one. Good work, babe."My visit left me even more deeply convinced that we not only have a moral obligation to help displaced Iraqi families, but also a serious, long-term, national security interest in ending this crisis."
-and-
"What we cannot afford, in my view, is to squander the progress that has been made."

How the Mighty have Fallen
Why didn’t Hillary go for B. Hussein Obama’s throat in Tuesday night’s debate?
Something is very odd with the Clinton campaign strategy.
She’s acting like a beached whale, or someone paid to throw the game.
This all certainly makes one wonder…. about the “C’ word. Not Jane Fonda’s “C “ word but……….. Shhhhhhh………. CONSPIRACY.
The anointed twosome are not anointed any more.
They are really losing big time.
Is Bill Clinton really going to let this slip through his fingers????
Or is this a setup for something, a conspiracy?
Wait, maybe, just maybe he’s kicking his fat assed thick thighed Marxist bitch out on the street once and for all. To fade away like a beached whale that keeps crawling away from the ocean to die. Maybe he’s just had it. He’s done with her. Maybe Bill the boy wonder is going o cut his losses and move on. In the best of all worlds… maybe that would be the case.
By the way ladies, I love women. I have voted for them and will again. Just not for a stupid lying Marxist bitch! If she had any brains she would have kicked her shallow cowardly husband out on his ass back at Yale, or at least in Arkansas.
So let’s see if this is a conspiracy theory. But just who is conspiring?

The Age-Old Intoxicating Perfumes
"I'll do whatever he says to do," actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."
Wow Barrack Hussein, at least it’s a girl this time!!!
I wonder if she had the Chris Matthews twinge in her leg?
I bet there is more going on then just a twinge.
This campaign is being run like an ancient sex cult with a touch of messianic furor. This titillation of the masses that have no meaning in their lives is nothing more than the bread and circus charade of the ancient Romans. You can bet the fluids exuding from Halle Berry’s body are the age-old intoxicating perfumes that always lead to tyranny!

Duh?!
If B. Hussein Obama is offended at being called a "Muslim," then maybe he shouldn't be one. Easy peasy.
Although, he is acting like "Muslim" is a bad word. ...but I thought they were our misunderstood friends? O.o

liberalism and related lechery
Taken from Amanda Carpenter's latest:
"Obama, who supports comprehensive immigration reform and drivers licenses for illegal aliens, said in the debate he also thought there should be lower immigration application fees because “it’s discriminatory” for immigrant families to “hire a lawyer” and “pay thousands in fees” to receive legal status. Obama added he thought Congress should immediately pass the DREAM Act to give in-state tuition to illegal aliens."
Taken from my head:
It must be a result of my inferior intellect, a result of not having attended an ivy league school. I just don't understand why someone would want to give our (God-given, americafukkkyeah) rights and priviledges away (you know, the one's bestowed upon you when you're born on this side, the RIGHT SIDE, of the Rio Grande). Rights given away to criminals, to the skill-less, to the cess ridden masses who give this country the finger. They are leaching off of your wallet.
An obscenely large percentage of my legitimate income (the rest is mostly through smuggling and whores) is taken from me, AT GUN POINT, every Friday. Anyone who reads this, can reread that last statement verbatim, save for the parenthetical (unless they too are also into smuggling and whoredom), and it will relate. That is, it will relate if you're one of the dying breed; the English-speaking, hard-working, law-abiding members of society.
I WORK 40+ HOURS/WEEK AND CAN'T AFFORD GRAD SCHOOL, BUT WE'RE GOING TO GIVE FREE IMMIGRATION LAWYERS TO WETBACKS?

Should Obama (the christ of all Rock Stars) really be running or should Fred Ralista?
I am as usual waiting to hear from the legend, Fred Ralista, to check in. There should be an update between he and I on Intel this weekend. William Blake is on special assignment. In the mean time I’m sure at least in one sense, Fred is rather amused, over the women that are swooning and fainting while they listen to Obama speak in sentences filled with multiple-choice possibilities.
The utterly silly superficial subjectively projected rock star persona has become all pervasive in every corner of life, and if you don’t have it you don’t get noticed. It’s a necessary pose to be considered important, and a pose it always is. The word poseur is synonymous with rock star. Which seems to then be synonymous with presidential candidate. The election of the president has become a top 40 song or a People magazine layout.
Bill Clinton tried to push superficialities to be a rock star, but not like Obama. Obama is the christ of all rock stars.
Even with how utterly superficial these women are that are falling for the christ of all rock stars, I wouldn’t blame them if they fell for Fred Ralista. People in the know are sure as the earth is round, that if Fred was running for president, there would be many many more women fainting and this would have started at the first sightings of Fred, not all these months after the campaign started.
Not after the whores in the media kicked in and told you who to faint over.
Ladies, Fred is the real thing and you are missing it. Didn’t your mothers tell you to save your selves?

Us Knuckle-Draggers
"The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true, given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed, and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence, 2/3's of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.
So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What are we so unhappy about?''
Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?
Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?
Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time, and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?
Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?
Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?
I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough.
Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provides services to help all, and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.
Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.
Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.
This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers.
How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?
Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.
Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has a great disdain for its citizens . They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have , and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.
I know, I know. What about the President who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The President who has a measly 31 percent approval rating? Is this the same President who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11? The President that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?
The Commander-In Chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?
Think about it ...are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.
Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go.
They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable' ' discharge after a few days in the brig.
So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds, it leads; and they specialize in bad news . Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about "how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way"...Insane!
Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad.
We are among the most blessed people on Earth, and should thank God several times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative.
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

The Legendary Ralista is so right on but I just have to ask,
Is Chris Matthews coming out of the closet? Is he? I am so titillated with Chris's comments.
“Matthews: Obama Speech Caused 'Thrill Going Up My Leg'”
Well, and then Chris says….
“He speaks about America in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with the feeling we have about our country. And that is an objective assessment.”
Wow. I am just speechless, in an objective manner of course.
He use to try to slobber all over Bill Clinton now he gets “that feeling in his leg” over Obama.
Does Matthews have any type of life? Maybe his psychosexual reactions to men in the Democratic Party give him purpose?
Do people actually listen to this guy?
By the way Chris or anybody, what is Obama actually talking about?

The writer’s strike is over in Hollywood!
Now there seems to be a frenzy to start production of stalled TV dramas and sit-coms.
Does anyone care?
In all of my travels since the strike started last November, I’ve yet to hear of a complaint. In fact I’ve heard the opposite… “It’s refreshing that at least part of the entertainment industry was silenced for awhile” and “Talk about mind-numbing pollution, Hollywood is the worst!”
For my part I went on strike over ten years ago by terminating my television.
It’s amazing what a human can accomplish with that thing gone.

there's no crying in baseball, but there are a-holes who vote.
Anyone who cries over a politician needs to be curb stomped, twice, you know for good measure? Politicians come and go, Bunky. One can almost.. ALMOST comprehend voting for a politician on racial grounds, that is, "he's black, so I'll vote for him." [insert the definition of racism -HERE-] HOWEVER, you cry because you think he is a messiah, get over yourself, he's got nothing (well, nothing but dark skin).

From The Secret Life of Fred Ralista (2)
Well well wouldn’t you know it? Out of the blue Fred was suddenly touching base with me this weekend. Actually it was late Saturday night. It was a surprise phone call on our secure line. As always he was incognito and on the road, except there was a female laughing and giggling as he was wise cracking with me (Ahem ……of course there was).
But quickly the air cleared and there was quiet.
I think Fred must have pulled himself out of his secure vehicle, because all the giggling had stopped.
Some new and interesting Intel was forthcoming. His conversation was mostly in code. What is important about this phone call for now is that we will actually meet sometime in February face to face and discuss how to disclose this latest Intel.
Then as quickly as the call came Fred was gone to continue working through the dead of night!

Berkeley to Marines: You're 'not welcome in our city'
Out on Shattuck Avenue, it appears the protesters have no plans to leave anytime soon. "We are the civilian population; we control the military," Adams said. "We the people have to take back our control of the military."
Looks like Berkeley is on their own come invasion time.

To be truthful there is not much to go on here. Fred is hard to pin down. He does have a social security card. Well, actually several. But as far as GPS goes he stays out of sight.
As a pirate and war profiteer no one really knows where he lives.
However, people in the know observe he’s quite the ladies’ man, in the same vein as James Bond. But as I said no one knows where he lives.
He has a lot to say but rarely speaks. He fights on in the dead of the night.
I like you have to wait for his next rare appearance.

The Trying of My Soul Part 1
This may seem odd to you at first, but when men, women, media and all manner of institutions change the meaning of words, a rift in the fabric of our society appears. A certain estrangement occurs. Sides are picked. Then an irrational anger grows from this rift. Words that once had meaning now ferment ideas without a real foundation. There are many words that this happening to. But let’s take two, conservative and liberal.
Does anyone actually take the time to define these two words? Does anyone reflect on how these words shape and fit into their lives?
I don’t think we do. Instead we always seem to explain them with examples that destroy their meaning. We demonize people instead of debate with substance. We feel good and smug in our own false self-righteousness. We never have to actually explain our stance.
Does anyone actually see a difference between men and woman politically or otherwise that call themselves either a conservative or a liberal?
Why do we let this rift, this fissure in our fabric cause a watering down of individual liberty and freedom? Is it for our own insecure needs and wants? Or maybe it’s our lack of taking responsibility for ourselves? Is it from a certain ignorance or laziness? Maybe this all comes from a gross lack of self-reflection in our postmodern information age.
It’s hard to be free isn’t it? As my friend Mr. Paine has said, “ Society is produced by our wants and government by our wickedness.”
Is anyone looking around to see what our society and government look like?

As seen here.
A 37-year-old American businesswoman and married mother of three is seeking justice after she was thrown in jail by Saudi Arabia's religious police for sitting with a male colleague at a Starbucks coffee shop in Riyadh.
“If I want to make a difference I have to stick around. If I leave they win. I can't just surrender to the terrorist acts of these people.”

THINGS Never Change
Things never change. Tyranny is still tyranny. Whether it is camouflaged as liberalism or compassionate conservatism. The war against liberty is on full display and as always is trying to the soul. This election cycle is no different from most others in these modern or postmodern times.
I have many questions about this. Here are some of them.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT AMERICANS THAT THEY THINK THAT THEIR CANDIATE IS THE MESSIAH? WHAT CAUSES THIS RELIGIOUS FERVOR FOR A MERE MORTAL? Is it because we have nothing to believe in? So, we create a god in our own image? A god that tells everyone what they want to hear. A god that sugar coats tyranny with another label. Or, “we have to give up some of our freedom for the greater good” In the end this little tyrannical god always shackles our wealth and our spirit.
What ever happened to self-reliance? What happened to the tea party?
Which reminds me of this quote from my friend Thomas Paine. It comes from a pamphlet he published titled, The Crisis
“These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
—Published on 23 December 1776
The most important issue for this year and any year is freedom. Freedom and liberty for the individual.
This election cycle makes me think that there are too many people that are afraid to keep fighting for freedom. That it is so easy and so cheap. It seems to have lost value. At least that ‘s how many of us are acting.
I have many questions about this. Here are some of them.

Or, “we have to give up some of our freedom for the greater good” In the end this little tyrannical god always shackles our wealth and our spirit.
What ever happened to self-reliance? What happened to the tea party?
Which reminds me of this quote from my friend Thomas Paine. It comes from a pamphlet he published titled, The Crisis
“These are the times that try men's souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

The most important issue for this year and any year is freedom. Freedom and liberty for the individual.
This election cycle makes me think that there are too many people that are afraid to keep fighting for freedom. That it is so easy and so cheap. It seems to have lost value. At least that ‘s how many of us are acting.
