Monday Barbarian Open Comments

We are becoming a nation of four-year-old mentalities, with no impulse control and with the thinnest veneer of self-control, driven by our personal desires and damning those in our way of getting what we want. And heaven help those who we perceive are treading on our low self-esteem!
Of course the greatest current example is the Occupy movement, many of whom are young skulls full of mush, all set to fix the broken world. These young souls don’t really know what they want, except free tuition and other goodies. Then there are the hangers-on, looking for a party, a feeling of being part of some great cause (without realizing what they’re fighting for), or just wanting to be part of history. Then there are the anarchists, who just want to disobey everyone and break everything. And mixed in the crowd are the socialists, communists, and Marxists, who just don’t want anyone to have more than anyone else them. And above them all, the puppet masters, pulling their strings. You can find documentation on these groups at the Big sites – BigGovernment, BigJournalism – as well as other conservative and news sites.
What?! No free food?!
Even grandma isn’t safe around the Occupy goons.
Then there are the other symptoms of our decline in civility and reasonableness:
Why didn’t he just call the front desk and ask for more?
A baby’s life for a coat?? I’m sure there are thrift shops where one can be had, cheap.
Our coach got fired – let’s trash the campus!
What? You don’t think like I do? Let me take my frustration out on your ride.
You must be the proper color to use racial slurs.
Calling someone a body part may be hazardous to your health.
Gettin’ a freak on with some vegetables – to heck with the diners, I just want to feel goooooooooooood!
And McDonald’s is becoming a dangerous place:
Don’t take too long placing your order, or you may be beaten unconscious.
If a customer doesn’t like the way you look at her money, she may jump the counter and try to slap the crap outta you. But she better watch out, too.

And I don’t know what’s worse – the fact that this girl was beaten, the management did nothing to help her, or that someone stood there and recorded this event and then uploaded it to the internet. Wrong on so, so many levels.
The common thread running through all of these stories is the callous disregard for the safety and well-being of others, and the wanton destruction of private property, all for the reason that someone didn’t agree with a political view or someone got in someone else’s way.
Have we become such an entitlement attitude society that we believe we should have whatever we want, whenever we want? Or that our precious little egos should never be challenged? Are we to expect that our lives will have no struggles? Have we lost the ability to persevere? As parents, are we not teaching our children patience, negotiation skills, acceptance of life on life’s terms? Is our society just a big group of impulse driven, ultra-sensitive crybabies?
I am sad for what I see as our future. I see these stories all the time, and I hope and pray that these stories are not the norm, but the exception.

    Of course, this could backfire, admitting that your brownies are spiked. Maybe it was merely an attempt to make someone sweat.

    In my observations, I have determined it to have started with LBJ’s Great Society, and no, this is not a “blame Bush” kind of statement. I was fully growed up and in the Marines and notices a definite downhill slide at that point.

    Bringing sexy back to the ball! Justin Timberlake parties with elated U.S. Marines as promised
    By Anita Bennett

    Justin Timberlake is a man of his word. The superstar made good on his promise after accepting a YouTube invitation to attend the Marine Corps Ball on Saturday night in Richmond, Virginia.

    The singer-turned-actor fulfilled his promise and arrived on the arm of U.S. Marine Cpl. Kelsey de Santis, who asked him to be her date in a YouTube video.

    Timberlake looked dapper in a black suit, white shirt and a snazzy bow tie as he made a grand entrance into the Greater Richmond Convention Center.

    BTW, I figured out why Herman Cain’s “sex scandal” is the main focus of the media.

    They’re can’t demonize Romney because his religion bans him from drinking and if you want another woman you just marry her.

    Good morning Hamsters. Mugly start at 67 at 6 and no breeze until after Sunrise. Definitely more moisture in the air as the next front approaches. I think maybe if we give the GPS coorindates to the weather gods we might get some rain on our dirt this time around.

    Last Friday’s 33 low started another blast of Fall color and leaves flying. The silver maple is almost bare, bur oaks are losing yellowish leaves with every gust, red oaks are finally showing some yellow patches. I think we need some hard freezes for them to actually turn red. The fountain has to be cleared of leaves several times a day now.

    Happiness is hearing/seeing or hearing about Newt pounding Scott Pelley at the debate Saturday night. Did not watch it, and I wonder how many folks could continue to see it after CBS stopped transmitting it at 9 and shuffled it off to streaming on the net. Why does the RNC or whoever arranges these clown shows not stop agreeing to play the fool for these lefty networks and their pseudo-journalists with skulls full of mush and propaganda? Let’s have more of real debates as that held in The Woodlands hosted by Texas TP Patriots.

    Oh, and Scott Pelley does smirk most annoyingly; I see him sign off the CBS evening news just as we tune in Channel 11 at 6, after I’ve watched Fox News Channel at 5. 🙂

    What we are witnessing in the OWS and related events is the result of our failed, union driven educational system. The government took the place of Daddy as the breadwinner for the family, God was evicted from the classroom, and legal infanticide finished off any hopes of respect for human life. Now the effort is underway to suggest that government is the grantor of human rights rather than our creator, and once that transition is complete, thugocracy rule will be the order of the day. I’m sure that Obama will send me to the cracker factory as soon and his death panels are seated, but I do have remorse about what I’m leaving behind for the kids.

    I noticed where OBH made a statement from Hawaii that it was necessary that the super committee ” must set aside their differences and do the right thing.” (Read: “raise taxes”)

    Two things came to mind:
    necessary :

    Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human liberty; it is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. — William Pitt

    and the Super Committee:

    Murphy’s Law corollary: Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

    1 loaf of bread 1 pint of milk
    1 single serving cereal

    Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.

    For a lot of people, ugly is only skin deep, like beauty. I did come across one co-worker, however, for which your maxim is true. She was seriously fugly on the outside, had a bad attitude, shifted her work onto her teammate, griped about everything, made life difficult for everyone she came across, and just in general made life miserable.

    Dang, was I glad when she quit. That was one nasty woman lady person bipedal mammal.

    NOTE: I was attending a bible study at an Episcopal church, because I met the priest at Shoney’s one day and we just clicked. He invited me, and I accepted. I was the token white at this Bible study, which was interesting (especially around OJ Simpson trial time – I just kept my mouth shut), but we had a really good time cracking open the Word and talking about life. I shared my difficulties with the aforementioned bipedal organism, and he and I went to dinner after Bible study to talk. He took my hands and prayed about the problem, giving it – and her – to God. Then he looked at me and said “Now you can quit worrying about it. God’ll take care of it.” That was the first time that anyone had shown me to do this, and I was skeptical.

    The bipedalist quit the very next week. Revelation!

    Yesterday I took my son Headcrusher to the gun show in Conroe. I had the day planned out to do the show and then around 5:30 pick up the bosses wife from IAH. The young man lives with his mom real close to IAH and I live “not close” in Glorious Copperfield. Everything is going smoothly and then I get the call that her plane does not get in until 8pm. Headcrusher and I are speaking about how the day seldom goes as planned, I asked him if he knew the fastest way to make God laugh. He said no and I gave him the answer . . .”Tell HIM what your plans are”. Then Headcrusher makes me one proud pappa, he said “Dad, we are Bonecrushers, we don’t complain – we adapt”. Yes, high fives are definitely in order!

    Shame on you!

    A couple weeks ago in my RCIA class, the topic was the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. People who want to come into the Church later in life often have “marriage issues” that must be resolved before they can receive any of the sacraments. These usually have to do with prior marriages where a civil divorce has been gotten, but the marriage is still valid in the eyes of the Church. There are lots and lots of special cases and other considerations that enter into the final annulment decision.

    We had been discussion the value of prayer and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in a marriage earlier in the evening. I made the comment that if you’re willing to trust and listen, the Holy Spirit will guide you.

    Later on, we were discussing the circumstances in the life of one of the class members. It was fairly complicated, dealing with multiple prior marriages, a combination of civil and religious ceremonies, etc. The facilitator for the evening got over his head quickly and was just about to say “You’ll need to talk to the pastor about this one” when the Deacon in our parish who is the primary contact for marriage issue resolution stuck his head in the door. This NEVER happens. One of the other team members elbowed me and gave me a look like “I don’t believe this.” I just had to shrug my shoulders and grin.

    This was years ago, as I was beginning my real spiritual journey. I don’t remember any of my CCE teachers, priests, parents, friends, et al, ever suggesting this to me before. I just had never been exposed to the idea of actually sitting down, praying it to God, and letting go.

    Being a bit of a control freak in my personal life, this was a new idea. I’ve had to use it a lot since then, especially over the past few years. It’s given me some serenity, to just let go and let God take over.

    #28 Pyro: Is the exemption that O gave to mooooooooooooooooooooslimes (they didn’t have to pay but were still eligible to receive benefits) still on the books? If yes that is a pretty clear violation of the equal protection clause (14th amendment?). Further, one could argue that it establishes islam as a state religion as the financial burden that all non-moooooooooooslimes have to pay could easily be considered a jizyah tax.

Further, one could argue that it establishes islam as a state religion as the financial burden that all non-moooooooooooslimes have to pay could easily be considered a jizyah tax.

    Those feature reports, which have become popular on NBC’s evening newscast — and which may be added to NBC’s new prime-time newsmagazine program, “Rock Center With Brian Williams” — spotlight people who are making volunteer commitments to improve the lives of others in their community.

    Mr. Capus said Ms. Clinton had said to him, “That’s the kind of thing, if this were to happen, that I would really like to do.” He added, “It’s not about Chelsea Clinton saying, ‘Here I am; I want to be a TV star.’

    That has to be the tallest, free standing, pile of fresh, steaming, stinking poo I have ever seen. It is all about Chelsea wanting to be a star, what other possible credentials could she have to do the job, other than having famous parents? Does she have any accomplishments what-so-ever? She is a Paris Hilton wannabe.

    Re Chelsea Clinton, I clicked on Drudge’s link to the announcement, featuring a big smile on the kiddo’s face, and all I could think was, she sure needs to have her teeth cleaned and whitened before her first air date.

    I’m sorry, every time I see Chelsea, I think of Webb Hubbell. And although Chelsea’s improved over time, I don’t see either one of them as beauty pageant material. I just hope Chelsea’s got a better hold on her hormones and urges than either her momma or daddy, and stays out of trouble.

    Bless their hearts.

    Tedtam, I just read a story posted on Drudge today that is yet another illustration of customer’s infantile behavior at a McDonald’s. No rational adult would flip out like this.

    One good reason to stay in school is so you don’t end up having to work at McDonalds in a neighborhood with customers like this, and all the other wackjobs we’ve seen this year.

    I see a young couple are suing an airline for $100,000 because they saw some cockroaches on the plane. For “emotional distress”. Weenies.

    We went to dinner this weekend with some Cajun friends, they had been at a wedding in Kalifornia and were passing through town. While they were there something was said about the mountains and someone asked them if there were mountains in Louisiana, he said (think Cajun accent here), No we can’t stack mud that high.

    I thought it was funny anyway.

    If Joseph Goebbels were alive today he’d be a student in a classroom on propaganda taught by the Tingly-legged Spitter and all the rest of the Obumma disciples.

    One day the Spitter would be teaching and then the next day George Yousteppedinwhatsapalous would be teaching.

    Then Brian ‘bow down before him love and adore him’ Williams would teach and then each one of the MSNBC nut-jobs would fill in on subsequent days.

    And on and on it would go because there are so many liars and propagandists in the SSMedia these days they could have a different teacher every day of the year until the end of the world.

    Federal safety regulators are investigating problems with the automatic shift levers on several GM cars. The probe was prompted by seven crashes thought to be connected to the faulty shift levers.

    GM’s Latest Problem: 7 Crashes Linked to Faulty Wiring

    Just to jolt the memory:

    DETROIT — Toyota on Monday agreed to pay two more fines, totaling $32.4 million, for failing to swiftly recall millions of defective vehicles, the Transportation Department said.

    The fines are the maximum allowed by law and are in addition to the $16.4 million Toyota paid earlier this year in a related matter. The sum of the fines, $48.8 million, amounts to about $30 for each vehicle Toyota has sold this year in the United States.

    Toyota to Pay $32.4 Million in Fines Related to Two Recalls

    If GM’s at fault for not recalling their vehicles on time, will the government crackdown on them? (I know you and I would pay the bill even if they did but fair is fair…somehow)

    #28 Pyro: Now that the SCOTUS will hear the obamacare act, dya think that Kagan will recuse herself seeing as how she advocated for the act prior to becoming a justice? Ifn the shoe was on the other foot and it was a conservative agenda item being brought before the court and the newest justice advocated in favor of it prior to being appointed by a conservative president – dya think the libs would be demanding that the justice in question recuse themself?

    This is an obvious conflict and all reasonable people should insist that Kagan recuse herself. This is one of those cases where the Rs need to show some spine.
