Dennis Miller rips Harry Reid a new one

Here's another rant by my man Dennis Miller, who proceeds to eviserate Senator Harry Reid and his cowardly leadership. Enjoy.

Memorial Day Weekend

This weekend is the unofficial beginning of summer.  This weekend is also the weekend that we all need to take a moment and reflect upon all those that have fought in all the wars and conflicts this country has found itself involved in.  We should take a moment and thank those soldiers who have given the ultimate, their lives to ensure that our way, the American way, the cause of freedom, and the pursuit of liberty was preserved and cherished.  If you come upon a veteran or soldier this weekend, please take a moment and thank them for all that they have done and/or will do for us and the cause of freedom.  Many people on this planet do not enjoy the freedoms that we do.  Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend.

Everyday the America John Edwards' lives in looks better and better

Everyday I wake up I begin my arduous quest to achieve the level of prosperity that will allow to live in the America that Mr. Edwards lives in.

Let's take a look at the story of the $500 million Treasure recently found, and previously commented on here, off the coast England.  The story seems benign in nature at first.  A couple of treasure hunters possibly strike it rich by stumbling upon the find of a lifetime.  Come to find out that the company that found this treasure has a well known investor in its stable.  None other an Mr. two Americas himself, John Edwards.  It seems that Mr. Edwards is one of the major investors in Fortress Investments, a private equity and hedge fund manager.  Fortress Investments is a large shareholder in OMR, Odyssey Marine Recovery, via the fund Drawbridge Global Macro which owns a 9.9% stake in OMR.  You can read the story here. 

As I stated earlier, I think that Mr. Edwards success and wealth are great, what I find annoying and dishonest is his hypocrisy.  The man is constantly talking about how unfair the Republicans and their ways are to the common American and how he understands the common American's pain.  This man does not understand your plight nor does he want to.  This man gets $400 haircuts, lives in a multi-million dollar home that has no trespassing signs posted all around the property, and he is worth millions and millions of dollars.  Now do you really believe that he understands or cares about your plight or your problems?  I don't think so. 

This is the same man who charged a California state college $55,000 to come address its students.  Read the story here.  The topic Mr. Edwards spoke about was the great moral issue facing this country, poverty.  Do you think that Mr. Edwards provided those in attendance any useful kennels of information on how he became the wealthy American he is today?  I don't think so.  The problem I have with Mr. Edwards and his democratic ilk, is that they preach one thing to the populous of how the government can solve all your problems and the like.  But, if you watch these folks carefully, you will come to see that they themselves do not actually believe what they say.  They know that hard work and persistence along with some good or great connections are the things that will help you change your station in life.  So, as you go about your busy days and weeks, remember that Mr. Edwards and his democratic rivals are constantly plotting and scheming on how to make that next million, and not on how to solve your issue with paying the monthly utility bill. 

A nice rant by Dennis Miller

Here is a great rant by Dennis Miller concerning the Iraq War and all some other salient points relevant to that particular topic. I like Dennis Miller and I think he hits the nail on the head here.

Immediate Citizenship and Annexation Act of 2028

Let's spring forward to the year 2028, I am now in my sixties and the United States of America finds itself in a familiar pickle that comes about as often has the cicadas.  This cycle appears approximately every 20 years or so.  The last time the illegal immigration problem was an issue the citizens looked to their esteemed leaders in the US Congress and to the President for guidance, because the idea of the people to send these law breakers back from whence they came was to harsh and would shock the system.  Back then in 2007, the Congress and the President decided that the best way to deal with these law breakers and their ilk was to give them amnesty.  Prior to that time, I can reflect back on the year 1986 when the problem seemed to first rear it's ugly head.  The Congress and the President at that time, again decided in their great wisdom that the best way to deal with these law breakers and their ilk was to reward them with amnesty and threaten harsh consequences if happened again.

In 1986, the problem concerned about 3 million illegal immigrants.  Back in 2007, the problem increased to about 12 million illegal immigrants.  Today in 2028, the problem has blossomed into about 48 million illegal immigrants, and this time they know that you can't just send them back.  They are now truly a force to be reckoned with.  Instead of demanding citizenship, they want the whole southwest part of the United States.  I am sitting here watching this drama or tragedy play itself out and both laughing and crying at the same time.  I am watching a country that my ancestors fought and died for, and that I love with all my heart and soul being ripped and torn into pieces, because our leaders in the past failed to lead or act in a appropriate and necessary manner.  The heroes of yesterday's fight to stop amnesty and the rewarding of illegal behavior are nowhere to be found.

This time the illegals are setting the agenda and outlining how this process is going to play out.  I remember back in 2007, reading a little read story about how the plan our esteemed leaders of the time, developed allowed the radical organizations that supported those illegal immigrants final veto power and a tremendous amount of input into the new legislation that was being drafted at that time.  I and most of the people I knew back then didn't believe that our esteemed leaders would or could be that stupid to allow the law breakers to write or contribute to how their would be dealt with.  Now I realize that we, the legal US citizens were the fools and the illegals were the smart ones.

I have told my children and their children that they had better learn to speak several different languages, because the days of English being spoken in most places in this country have past.  Good Luck.  The next time this problem comes around the country itself will be at stake.
