Twisted thinking. They want you to be a sheep and then sue them rather than defend your property and make them obey the Constitution. “It’s all for YOUR safety, don’t you know.” Reminds me of being in Russia and having a KGB Spook go with you every where, “For your protection.”

Successful Capitalism:
1. Makes a profit
2. Creates jobs
3. Has loyal employees
4. A side benefit is investing in the storm riddled South. These people won’t be needing handouts for the next 5 years.Hyundai, Alabama state to make investment announcement
(Reuters) – South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co and the state of Alabama will announce on Monday an investment at Hyundai’s Alabama plant near Montgomery, the company said on Sunday.
The Alabama plant makes two of the hottest selling cars in the U.S. market, the midsize sedan Sonata and the small sedan Elantra. Its assembly lines operate as much as 20 hours per day during weekdays and on some Saturdays to meet high demand.
While more vehicle production is not to be announced on Monday, a second Hyundai U.S. assembly plant could still follow at some point .
Sources told Reuters that Hyundai in recent months has spoken at least informally with at least three U.S. states including Alabama about plans for a second plant in the southeast of the United States.
Officials in South Carolina and Mississippi expressed interest in luring the Korean automaker to place new production in those states, the sources added.
The company owns about 1,750 acres at its Alabama site, and its current assembly plant takes up less than a third of that land.
One source told Reuters that any new plant would produce a subcompact car, the size of the Hyundai Accent which is now imported to the United States.
Hyundai opened its Alabama plant in 2005. It was followed by dozens of Korean auto parts suppliers that also have production plants in Alabama to serve the Hyundai factory.
Alabama is a “right to work” state, which helps companies there fend off efforts to unionize workers. The United Auto Workers, which represent production workers at the three major U.S. automakers, has not been successful in convincing Hyundai workers to unionize the Alabama plant, which has about 2,600 workers.
Mississippi and South Carolina are also right to work states.

And the talking points for 2012 Democrats will be:
CNN Anchor: Are Conservatives Angry About Common’s White House Appearance Because He’s Black?
NBC’s Chris Matthews confronted Presidential candidate Ron Paul of racism on Friday, now this. Sure looks like NBC is doing its best to send a message to the GOP candidates for 2012: Criticize Obama at the risk of being labeled “racist”.
Bill Maher: ‘Republicans Say They Love Herman Cain So They’re Not Racist – Right’
David Gregory Accuses Gingrich of Racism

Obama courted Hispanics last week , offering citizenship to anyone who will register, pay their back taxes and learn English. The president and the crowd share an unbreakable bond.
They all bought their birth certificates in MacArthur Park in Los Angeles.

A blonde takes her car to the garage. She tells the mechanic it keeps dying at the stop lights.
After he works on it for a few minutes, it’s idling smoothly.“What’s the story?”
“Just crap in the carburetor”
“How often do I have to do that?”

Well, Newt cashed in early by supporting individual mandates in Obamacare. I’m wondering if Romney hired him to take that position to provide some cover for Romneycare. How about finding a real conservative in there somewhere, GOP? Or even a half-axxed conservative……

Remember that this is from the guy who had trouble filling out his own tax return.
Social Security does not operate on borrowed money.
It does not contribute to the deficit.By law Social Security cannot use borrowed money. It is supported by three sources:
payroll contributions from employers and employees;
interest earned on Social Security’s U.S. Treasury bond assets;
income taxes on the Social Security benefits paid by those with higher incomes.
Last week the Social Security trustees released their Annual Trustees Report for 2011 and it showed a $69.3 billion surplus for this year. Surpluses are projected for the next 25 years.

My help did not come in again today – more illness issues. I am so strapped for time, and Hubby is wissed off now that he found out his job didn’t get scheduled. Of course, I think he’s toned it down some now that he’s checked his notes and found out he probably didn’t tell us to schedule the job…
But now he’s breathing down my neck and I’m having to do two jobs AND schedule around hauling Handsome Son’s handsome butt to work later…and my usual run to check mail and (hopefully) the bank…and I’m hoping like heck I don’t have to go pick up any parts…
It’s time like this that the Lamaze breathing I learned for childbirth comes in handy.

#18 GEEZER:
interest earned on Social Security’s U.S. Treasury bond assets;
These bonds are issued to Social Security ONLY. I do not know if, in fact, they actually bear interest and if they do, that liability is added to the national deficit/debt. The Social Security “trust fund” is contained in the paper on which those bonds are printed; the value is about what the scrap value of that paper is.
Social Security is the worlds biggest Ponzi scheme followed by the union pensions followed by the state/local govt pensions. The only way to make a retirement plan work is for the INDIVIDUAL to own and control it 100%; any other way will result in thievery, embezzlement, underfunding, or simply your basic rat-wissing. -

Doood and Boney
No disagreement here. I just stated what the law says. If I had to depend on SS for my retirement, I’d be one of those trying to decide between seafood or beef for supper. (Cat food or dog food).
SS is still financed the same way, but in 1968 LBJ unlocked the lock box and created a “unified budget” (every function of the federal government is included in a single budget)
In 1990 the Trust Funds were again “off-budget.” This means that they are shown as a separate account in the federal budget.
The whimpering and whining is because they have to show where the SS money goes and they can’t do smoke and mirrors with it.And yes, they do earn interest, presently 2.6%

I have prayed about this. Here are the results:
I will pray wherever, whenever, on whatever subject or for whomever I choose.
I will do it both publicly and privately. It may be in the back yard, my car, at a restaraunt before I eat, on a street corner, or even on Facebook.
I will forgive whomever I choose, for whatever reason I feel appropriate, and will do it the instant the need becomes apparent to me. I will feel no shame or sorrow for doing so. It is my obligation as a Christian.
For those offended by the above, both in the past or in the future, I say this:
Its not about you. Its about me, my Spiritual Journey, and my relationship with Christ.
For those of who who have rebuked me for my prayers and forgiveness in the past, or may do so in the future:
I thank you for the opportunity it has given me to re-examine and re-affirm my Faith. I thank God for putting you in my life to do so.
I forgive you any malice you may have had in doing so. You may not require it, but I cannot see into your heart and note your reasons, just as you cannot look into mine to judge my sincerity, so I will do it “just in case” its appropriate. If you did intend malice, please accept this in the spirit in which it was given. -
Sarge,

Hypocrite.You decide that we are “sick” not in the physical sense don’t ya know. We have grieviously hurt you. Yet you do not have the courage to tell me just what i did to cause you this great pain. You insult me and others, pull bible verses out of context trying to justify your garbage, call me a liar. Oh but that is okay you have forgiven me.
So here is what i am willing to do Serge’ to put this feud to bed, this is not fair to the other hamsters, you have my email address use it. I am not letting this go.

I try to be honest and honorable in all things I do. I put the truth of my feelings out there fore everyone to examine and comment on. Folks will agree or disagree with some of what I say or beleive, some more than others. That is thier right and privelege.
It is the ones who play the “If you disagree with me on one thing, I’m going to treat you as if you disagree with me and everhyone else on everything” game. They do me, themselves, and those here in this forum a disservice when they do so. They prevent true honest, open, and respectful debate.
I do regret and hereby ackjnowledge the times in the past where I have treated debate with you in a harsh manner. I will plead my passion and seriousness as an excuse, but it was not altogether right or repsctful.
I will try to do better.

This is getting real old, Sarge. You seem to be doing a lot of forgiving of people you feel have wronged you and not a bit of asking for forgiveness of those you’ve wronged. Let me know when you crawl down off that cross and can have a legitimate discussion without being offended. And for the record, I don’t feel you’ve wronged me. I’m a big boy and can take it.

Yesterday, as I was sitting on that cold, cold, dunking booth seat, waiting to be dropped into that warm, nasty water birthing all sorts of bacterial contagion, I was able to share what was written on my t-shirt with passersby, which garnered a few giggles…
…it comes from that series of “God” billboards that have been around for a while now…….my t-shirt said: “Don’t make me come down there! – God”
Unfortunately, there were a few who did. Or fortunately, since it meant money for the church.

A young cowboy from Montana goes off to college.Half way through the semester, having foolishly squandered all his money …. he calls home.
“Dad,” he says, “You won’t believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Missoula that will teach our dog, Ol’ Blue how to talk!”
“That’s amazing,” his Dad says. “How do I get Ol’ Blue in that program?”
“Just send him down here with $1,000” the young cowboy says “and I’ll get him in the course.”
So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.
About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home.
“So how’s Ol’ Blue doing son?” his father asks.
“Awesome, Dad, he’s talking up a storm,” he says, “but you just won’t believe this — they’ve had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!”
“Read!?” says his father, “No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?”
“Just send $2,500, I’ll get him in the class.”
The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem.
At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk, nor read.
So he shoots the dog.
When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited.
“Where’s Ol’ Blue? I just can’t wait to see him read something and talk!”
“Dad,” the boy says, “I have some grim news. Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home, Ol’ Blue was in the living room, kicked back in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal, like he usually does”.
“Then Ol’ Blue turned to me and asked, “So, is your daddy still messing around with that little redhead who lives down the street?”
The father went white and exclaimed, “I hope you shot that son of a b!tch before he talks to your Mother!”
“I sure did, Dad!”
“That’s my boy!”
The kid went on to law school, and now serves in Washington D.C. as a Congressman.

A young cowboy from Montana goes off to college.Half way through the semester, having foolishly squandered all his money …. he calls home.
“Dad,” he says, “You won’t believe what modern education is developing! They actually have a program here in Missoula that will teach our dog, Ol’ Blue how to talk!”
“That’s amazing,” his Dad says. “How do I get Ol’ Blue in that program?”
“Just send him down here with $1,000” the young cowboy says “and I’ll get him in the course.”
So, his father sends the dog and $1,000.
About two-thirds of the way through the semester, the money again runs out. The boy calls home.
“So how’s Ol’ Blue doing son?” his father asks.
“Awesome, Dad, he’s talking up a storm,” he says, “but you just won’t believe this — they’ve had such good results they have started to teach the animals how to read!”
“Read!?” says his father, “No kidding! How do we get Blue in that program?”

Chainsaw found near headless body in NE Houston -
Mharper –
I went under about ten times. I truly expected more, but as the booth operator and I discussed, I was up late in the day, and the booth was not on the main thoroughfare. By that time, most of the anticipated customers had either left or were engrossed in their own activities.
It was actually cold up there on the seat. By the time I got up there, a tree was casting shade across the booth and when the breeze kicked up, wet clothes made it a little miserable. It was warmer in the water, nasty as it was. I told some bystanders I had my choice of hypothermia or contagion. I actually chose contagion for a while, and had to scramble onto my perch when a customer showed up.
It wasn’t so bad, as long as I was ready to close every possible orifice when the softballs were thrown at me. The price for the laity was $2 for three chances, for clergy it was$5. If you wanted to bypass the pitching part of the dunking, for $10 you could go and push the paddle by hand. Fr. Ben and Deacon Jim were able to pull in quite a bit of cash. One man paid $20 to push Fr. Ben down twice.
PS: I had run into one of our pillars of the church earlier in the day, and I was trying to drum up business for the booth since business was slow. “Hey ‘Joe’,” I said, “Fr. Ben is in the dunking booth and nobody has the balls to go after him!” Joe laughed and said he’d head on over.

I forgive you any malice you may have had in doing so. You may not require it, but I cannot see into your heart and note your reasons, just as you cannot look into mine to judge my sincerity, so I will do it “just in case” its appropriate. If you did intend malice, please accept this in the spirit in which it was given.
“I ask for your forgiveness for any malice I have imparted towards you. This was not my intent…”
Start off in that manner, Sarge. I think it’ll go better. (And, of course, be sincere about it). The manner in which you phrased your intent to pray for others and to forgive others comes across as a self-righteous judgement against others.
A good model for prayer, and based upon teaches of the Savior and men of God, is to ask the Lord to forgive your own sins and to pray for the well being of others. Also, like Squawk and Hamous, I’m very confused as to how they so deply offended you. Use Squawk’s emil invite. i really so hope you and him resolve this quarrel.

To Mitt Romney, big government is good for business
I ran across that article earlier from Hot Air and thought I’d share it since it did seem to describe Mitt Romney’s mindset on how to govern. I still encourage folks to read it but I read another article on Human Events called, Gov. Rick Perry’s Business-Friendly Texas Thriving. after reading that piece I saw a bit of an irony. From the first article I read,
Romney didn’t compete for business through lower taxes and regulation: He tried to entice them to the state with special subsidies. In 2005, Romney lured Spherics, a pharmaceutical company, away from Rhode Island by offering a $2.5 million direct loan from the state’s “Emerging Technology Fund.” That same year, he signed a bill creating the Massachusetts Film Office that was empowered to hand out special tax credits to studios filming movies in the Bay State.
This, according to the article’s author, Timothy P. Carney, was an example of Mitt Romney governing in a business-friendly, “big government sort of way”.
In the second article,
The deals that Perry announced during the week of the Californians’ visit were possible due to a program called the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF), which allots money to help companies relocate or expand in the state in order to generate new jobs. According to the governor’s office, the fund has become “one of the state’s most competitive tools to recruit and bolster business.”
The largest of the three deals was the announcement by eBay that it would invest $5.1 million to expand its Austin office, creating more than 1,000 jobs, after the TEF program allocated $2.8 million for the project. The other deals were announcements by 3M and TD Ameritrade that they were expanding their existing facilities in Angleton and Fort Worth.
The TEF program is credited for generating more than 58,000 jobs and $14.7 billion in capital investments in the state since 2003, when Perry pushed for its inception, while the state has spent $433 million to attract and bolster the private investments.
That was, according to the article’s author, Kenneth Hanner, an example of how Rick Perry governs in a business-friendly, small government “sort of way”.
So here we have two articles about two different governors (one a former governor) who both use what seems like a very similar program to lure business into their respective state and one is an example of big government whereas the other is an example of small government.
Heh.

Shirley Serrod is back working for the USDA. Patterico adds the following:
In the past few months, I have interviewed a number of people who know Mrs. Sherrod directly – farmers, attorneys and other people who have worked for or with her. I’m not planning to do a “definitive portrait” of her and I’d be crazy if I thought I could end all the controversy once and for all.
What I do believe I can do is to untangle some of the myths and inaccuracies that have come up in the story of Mrs. Sherrod. I’m not interesting in jumping to conclusions; I’m interested in uncovering facts. I’m going to lay out details about Mrs. Sherrod and the controversy about her forced resignation, especially as it relates to the Pigford settlement, in a clear, linear format. You won’t be getting sound bites. In many cases, I’ll be posting links or video clips that you should investigate yourself. I think you’ll find that much of the Sherrod story is much more complex than the media narrative that’s sprung up around her.
I think you’ll also see that much of the story about Mrs. Sherrod has served to further the cover-up of the Pigford scandal. As you’ll see, there’s evidence that Mrs. Sherrod has been told about the fraud in Pigford by a number of people. I’ve found no indication that she’s done anything about it. I find the fact that she’s now working with the USDA on ‘outreach’ to be ominous and bad news for the legitimate black farmers who were wronged in the Pigford settlement.
Sounds good.

2 Women Slapped With Hate Crime Charges in Brutal McDonald’s Beatdown
I’m curious as to why this is a “hate crime” because the victim was transgender? What i saw on the video when I thought the victim was a woman seemed plenty hateful to me. In other words, the actions of the perpetrators were just as hateful when I thought the victim was a woman as when I learned that the victim was actually a transgender male.
