The Gray Ghost Series (DVD)

Via David

 

“We took our men from Texas, Kentucky, and Virginia; from the mountains and the backwoods and the plains. We put them under orders — guerrilla fighting orders, and what we lacked in numbers, we made up in speed and brains. Both Rebs and Yankee strangers, they called us ‘Mosby’s Rangers.’ Both North and South they knew our fame. Gray Ghost is what they called me; John Mosby is my name.”

Don't guess Boehner and the neo-cons had anything to do with this..........

                  Republican Rep. Boustany Defeats Landry for La. Congressional Seat

 

Both Boustany and Landry ran as conservative Republicans, with virtually the same stances on issues. However, the new district’s designs favored incumbent Boustany, known as a traditional Republican with strong ties to House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio. Landry, who was a freshman congressman, was the tea party favorite in the race.

The runoff was ordered because neither candidate mustered more than 50 percent of the vote in the November election, which was a requirement to win the race. Boustany captured 40 percent of the vote, while Landry attracted 30 percent, reports The Chicago Tribune.

Boustany raised $3 million for the general election campaign, reports the Center for Responsive Politics, almost 50 percent more than Landry, even with his backing from the tea party movement.

"Poor" Households Getting $168 in Welfare Per Day v. median household income $137.13 per day

 

It's official. Taxpayers are no longer simply helping the poor, they're subsidizing the lives of welfare recipients at a better rate than their own. The Senate Budget Committee has released a report showing households living below the poverty line and receiving welfare payments are raking in the equivalent of $168 per day in benefits which come in the form of food stamps, housing, childcare, healthcare and more. The median household income in 2011 was $50,054, totaling $137.13 per day. The worst part? Welfare payments are equivalent to making $30 per hour for 40 hours a week. The median wage for non-welfare recipients is $25 per hour but because they pay taxes, unlike welfare recipients, the wage is bumped down to $21 per hour. From the report:

For fiscal year 2011, CRS identified roughly 80 overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs that together represented the single largest budget item in 2011—more than the nation spends on Social Security, Medicare, or national defense. The total amount spent on these federal programs, when taken together with approximately $280 billion in state contributions, amounted to roughly $1 trillion. Nearly 95 percent of these costs come from four categories of spending: medical assistance, cash assistance, food assistance, and social / housing assistance. Under the President’s FY13 budget proposal, means-tested spending would increase an additional 30 percent over the next four years.

 By all means Mr. President, let's raise taxes on people already paying the majority of the taxes because clearly they aren't "paying their fair share" to subsize the lives of others already.

Communist Espionage In Government? Who Cares?

Via Billy

 

Most governments, Communist ones included, are quite concerned if it is discovered that espionage agents from an opposing power have wormed their way into their governmental agencies and are busily passing along confidential information to potential adversaries. However, it seems that quite often the attitude in the United States government has been “whatever will be will be.” So the Communists are stealing top secret information from us—so what.

It is noteworthy that before World War 2, when Roosevelt was in office, this kind of activity was going on wholesale and those who had been warmed of it did nothing. Whittaker Chambers in his informative book Witness  noted that when Roosevelt was told of Communist penetration of the State Department he just laughed. No one bothered to look into anything until the informants became numerous enough that the situation could no longer be ignored.

Are Preppers responsible for the unprepared?

Doomsday Preppers Are Socially Selfish

Last week on the website Emergency Management, there appeared a blog post written by an emergency manager named Valerie Lucus-McEwen in which she made a grave error in judgment. She called doomsday preppers “socially selfish.”

She based this startling conclusion on the National Geographic’s “The Doomsday Prepper” series and concluded that because the people featured in this show were spending their OWN time and their OWN money to stockpile their OWN resources in order to prepare their OWN families for whatever disastrous scenario they foresaw, they are selfish. Specifically, as another emergency manager phrased it, this is “a level of indulgence that is selfish and counter-productive to providing for the common good.”

“You might wonder,” wrote Ms. Lucus-McEwen, “why someone like me, who has been in the business of encouraging disaster preparedness for a very long time, is so critical of people who are doing just that. It’s because they are being socially selfish – preparing themselves and the hell with everyone else. Instead of spending time and energy making changes that would benefit the larger community, in their very narrow focus of loyalty they are more concerned about themselves. … Our job is to prepare individuals and communities and jurisdictions and regions and – ultimately – the globe for disasters, knowing we won’t always succeed.”

Little did Ms. Lucus-McEwen realize she was opening an enormous can of worms. The blog post got blitzed with comments, universally condemning her for her conclusions and asking why it was the job of ordinary preppers to “provide for the common good” at their own expense.

Why should I die for you?

Why should I die for you?
My life is it dear to me as anyone elses.
My fears also shake me, just like anyone else.
Do we not have the same dreams, the same desires?
What is it about us that people could look at us, and label us the same? 
Our loves and our hates, as different as they may be, inspire us equally in our own way. 
The end result for all of us will be the same.

(Quoted from Knuckledraggin my life away- This post illustrates how most patriots desire to react when others rights are being trampled.

Follow them at a discreet distance and when they get to where they're going, pull out your rifle, assume a good firing position and commence to shooting the motherfuckers.

Strong feeling among the patriots. Mutual aid, Mutual defense. Side by side.  A common feeling. Were tired of watching on the sidelines as one family after another gets their doors and their faces kicked in. )

But ....you chose this outcome, I did not. All those who were not only complacent but complicit. 
Perhaps you see some goal that I am  unable to see? A world where our absolute slavery is not guaranteed? You might get up and go to work every day, take your kids to the movies, have dinner with your wife, but you only do that by the grace of the higher power. Because they don't have a reason to take it away...yet.
And if that is so, why should I stand against it for your own protection?

Why should the sheepdog battle the Wolves for the life of a sheep that has willingly offered itself up as a meal?
Why should a patriot stand on the firing line against tyranny when just as many bullets will be coming at them from the back?
I wrestle frequently with my part in these issues.
Everything in me screams to stand and fight. 

But for every one of us who turns their eyes toward the light of truth, tens of thousands laugh and smile as they bathe in the riches of a dying nation. 
Kerodin asks again what should be done with such people?

Live and let live?
TPTB will let you live. As long as you play the game, do what you are told, and wash your hands in pontius' cup.
Meanwhile peoples lives are being destroyed by false charges, regulations and media puke. 
And the majority of the country is not just watching it happen, they are happily voting it in.
