Pathetic Prop 19

The poster boy for why pot should not be legalized in California. I would say probably about 99 percent of Cali's urban population smokes pot. And anyone over 50 has smoked pot or is now smoking pot. And probably about 80 percent of those folks have tried harder drugs at some time in their lives. Why do I say this? Because you would have to be high and or wealthy from selling drugs to elect the brain trust they have running their local and state governments. Even their beloved poser and chief BO went on to cocaine.

This prop currently before the voters has been created by the local bought and paid for drug cartel controlled politicos. The cartels know that pot is the entrance drug for most to their most profitable harder drugs. Legalizing pot would encourage those afraid of the popo to buy pot and lead users to the harder drugs they sell. Taxes....we don't pay no stinking taxes. The Calis are being conned into thinking this would allow them to dig themselves out of their fiscal nightmare through taxing the stuff. Think again my high friend. That ain't going to happen. If anything your taxes will go higher to support increased law enforcement to handle the increase in crime,traffic accidents etc.

Heres some sites with the facts on pot.

As I have asked my twitter pals if you wouldn't want a surgeon on booze operating on you, or a mechanic with one to many beer working on your brakes why would you want a pot head either? Doesn't make good sense.

I grew up in Florida where buying pot was as easy as getting a gal of milk. 99 percent of my crew smoked pot, 100 percent went on to harder drugs. It ruined their lives in one form or another. It is an entrance drug to a world of addictions. Drug use is 99 percent the cause of all violent crimes in the state of Florida. Is this what you really want? Look at the results of the pot heads running DC. Vote No on legalizing poison. Vote no on Prop 19. Nough Said.

10/2 Ed Union Socialist Rally

What if they paid people to attend a rally and nobody came. This was the case yesterday at the Ed Rally. This aerial taken at the peak of the rally because the front audience group at the Lincoln memorial was still full. By 2:30PM many had lost interest and left I presume to take avantage of the free trip to tour DC. By the end of the show at 4:40PM when they brought in the funk with Grover Cleveland dressed in military and camo garb (poor taste) the people had all but left. The crowds were a mix of every trade union known in the US,various Marxist socialist groups,Dem party activist groups, and a few DC unemployed. Not a racially mixed group as well. The bulk of those attending were African American. The few caucasians in the group were primarily on the stage as organizers,radio talk hosts and union leaders. A sprinkling of racist Hispanics showed up from La Raza to promote their agenda of harboring law breaking illegals and ethnically cleansing America of Europeans and African Americans. Ironic yes?

SEIU as other unions were well represented.

My favorite picture of a thousand words is the aftermath photos. These folks only leave devastation in their wake.

The organizers of this Dog and Pony show dug up a native american descent former comic writer from the Rozanne Show to represent native americans. And they killed two minorities at once with an asia gay man that went over like a lead balloon wth the primarily african american audience. (Homosexuality still very taboo in the African American and Hispanic communities.)

When you compare the aerial of the Ed Rally at the top of this article with the Restoring America rally above this paragraph there is an obvious observation that can be made. Even if they pay people to follow the left they will not follow for long. The real patriot, the real citizen of America will show up to fight for freedom anytime,anyplace and the far left had better be prepared to live in a free country or catch a flight to Cuba.

Over all the rally seemed to be nothing more than a union rally and a disorganized one at that for a group of seasoned community organizers. It was a pathetic display of despiration of elitist thugs sucking off the tit of hard working Americans knowing their gravey train is about to end. I hope this event served as an education for the public and the liberal press that they shouldn't hook their wagon to this disfunctional bloodsucking star.

Tru that..

Not Media Covered 911 Rally

As usual Atlas Shrugs is always on top of what the Media does not want you to know. During all the 911 activities there was a rally going on. Click on this link to get the 411. Thanks Ms Pamela for staying on top of things and getting the truth out.

Never Forget

Four years ago the daughter of police officer Moira Smith who was killed on 9-11, Patricia Smith, held the hand of her father James Smith on stage during the reading of names of victims of 9-11 during ceremonies at Ground Zero September 11, 2006 in New York City. The day marked the fifth anniversary of the hijacked plane attacks that killed almost 3,000 people in New York City, Washington and Pennsylvania.



There are people in the media who have asked if Americans will ever "Get Over This." Like the victims of Pearl Harbor I can honestly say no, no America will never "Get Over This" because it's not just about the heartlessness of this attack , but the real loss to Americans of their mothers,fathers,sons and daughters,best friends,relatives and especially that real sense of safety we always felt we had here in this country. On September 11th all Americans will mourn and never forget who and what died that day. And on that day every year we will resolve to NEVER let that happen again especially when we see the faces of those left behind like Patricia Smith. Believe that.

The Ten Cannots by Rev. William J. H. Boetcker 1916

Often attributed to Abraham Lincoln probably because it was included in a leaflet printed in 1942 by a conservative political organization called the Committee for Constitutional Government with quotes from Lincoln these words still stand today. Look up Boetcker a very interesting person in his own right.

How Different Are We?

I wanted to share we you all a personal experience while visiting DC for the first time in my life. I was on a business trip with a co worker who I count as a good friend and kindred spirit. He had worked for 4 days to get us a flight out of town during a multiple hurricane weather jag. When we finally arrived in DC we had just two days of the 5 day training we were booked for and it was a bummer. I was determined to honor his hard work by getting us at least one sight seeing tour of DC.

I knew from my tour book they had night tours and we had one free night. It ended up being a trial to get on the bus but we made it and it ended up being one great tour and I reccommend anyone to take a night tour. It is much more meaningful.

The thing I want to share with you is about the time we spent at the Lincoln Memorial. In my family Lincoln is akin to Moses is to the Jews. We have an old newspaper somewhere saved by my family from the time of Lincoln's murder and death. I was in ah of the monument. The other person revered in our household is Dr. King. I immediately made my way for where I knew he stood. I remember the speech on TV. I was 4 years old and it is one of the few memories of my early childhood I remember. I remember the grownups being very serious and hushing us as they watched this man speak hanging on his every word.

There was a large group of children looking for the spot Dr. King stood and having trouble. It was pitch black that evening on the platform and you couldn't see your hand let alone the engraved stone marking the spot. I could hear by the voices the children were of all nationalities. I pulled out my flashlight and shown the light on the stone and motioned for the kids to come over and together we all looked at the stone.I told them what I could remember and then what I remembered when Dr. King lost his life for the cause of Civil Rights. I remember my dad and me singing together the old folk tune Anybody Here." We all looked out to the distant lit Washington memorial and the reflecting pond and wondered what it must have been like to stand up there speaking or be out there listening in the audience. I turned my light out and I thought in this complete darkness we all look the same.

Education Reform that Works

In my hometown education is a huge issue. Low graduation rates amongst our public school students are a huge concern along with the increased needs of mainstreaming and immigration of non english speaking students. We are a no left behind state with strict yearly state testing of all students, smaller class size initiatives, strict school voucher programs, quality subsidized school lunch programs, large home school and church school programs as well as state support home school support initiatives, neighboorhood schools, charter schools,fundamental schools and public school choice programs. And yet, in the public school area we still have schools that receive an F and we are constantly told the school budgets are cut to the max and they need more teachers and that some schools will be closed.

The recent reports on homeschools has begged the question why are public schools having so much trouble? Homeschoolers out perform their peers by 40 percent and rank in the 86th percentile in every subject. The public school student performs on average in the 50th percentile. And yet, the average cost per home schooled student was $546 every year, as opposed to the average $5,325 spent annually on each child in the public school system.

Race made no difference in the the achievement of homeschoolers. All did equally well. However race did make a huge difference in the public schools persons of color ranking lower than their white counterparts.

Government oversight or no oversight made no difference in the success of the homeschooler. College educated or no college education parent teachers produced students with the same high success rates.

And most significant of all, more homeschoolers go on to higher education and achieving productive positions in their communities than public school students.

Obviously homeschoolers must be doing something right.

We know that the teacher's unions are chiefly about saving their jobs. That is their primary goal as it should be as a union. This has spawned the triple thick administrator rosters,higher teacher salaries that exceed the average state income levels,smaller class sizes,mainstreaming,tenure,lower teaching standards,fights against school testing and evaluation of academic achievement. This is not about the students but jobs.

Job number one should be our students. Job number one should be about how do we most effectively teach our children. Home schoolers seem to be the most successful. If you have a good working model duplicate it. That is how we do it in the business world. Copy their model, their curriculum, etc. In our area people want more fundamental public schools. The old guard is coming up with excuses why they can't do it even those these schools are rated A every time. Some folks running for office are for fundamental schools. Who do you think will be elected? The backers of fundamentals or those that back the teacher's unions?

I think real education reform is on the way. Our children will not be enslaved on the government dole. Our children won't be as dumb as we have been. They will not be lambs led to the slaughter anymore. Make November be the thunder to remember.
