Liar. Murderer. Thief. Selfish Steriotypical American Female youth. Free from jail.
I'm not surprised, not at all. I'm not surprised a young woman can accidentally kill her daughter in this country, with chemicals, while trying to shut the girl up, so she herself could socialise and "Party" with friends. This is a perfect example of the wonderful values of the spoiled rotten selfish completely uneducated youth of our society abroad.
Our society created Kaycee. Her parents created Kaycee. And there's thousands of other parents just like hers across the nation. Additionally there's millions of selfish spoiled-rotten young women just like her across the nation, that under the same circumstances, in the same environment, would have done EXACTLY the same thing. I've personally met many of these selfish spoiled people. Kaycee is just a normal American girl.
Maybe the Chinese had it right a few years ago, in that, ALL children should be taken from the parents and raised by the state. At least NONE of them would be spoiled the way so many are here.
Of course that would never fly here in the United States.
But I MUST say to all the parents of children in America, If you don't explicitly teach conservatism to the youth using Much Punishment, the loss of morals becomes incrementally more and more with each passing generation, until, lying, stealing and murder are simply, OK.
One other thing..... The justice system, to all you picketers.... Get a good enough lawyer and you can create a shadow of a doubt in the jury. You can't try her twice. Sorry. As imperfect as the system is, it's the best one out there. You should be glad we don't have a court system like that of Iran's.

Dysfunctional Government Running Perfectly
They call it Dysfunctional, the Government that is. News agencies around the country are poking fun in disdain about congress's inability to pass a bill between the two houses, especially one the president is willing to himself pass into law.
Additionally, a great many people around the nation, citizens, equally disappointed in congress to come to agreement on what exact extra bargaining chips are acceptable in coming to terms with raising the Debt ceiling.
The majority of the blame is seemingly pointed toward the Republicans, who cumulatively are standing stern, and not budging on the issue of raising taxes to assist long term debt reduction. Considering the President is the single most listened to voice of Government, his words, pointing a finger at the Republican party, are the shifting bias in opinions at large.
But really, the impasse in bill making is EXACTLY what our for fathers wanted and designed into our system of Government! There IS NO FAULT !!!
Think about it, the House of Representative's holds elections every two years. This keeps the body of individuals freshly updated and in-sync with the times. The Senate on the other hand, only changes one third of it's body every two years, both changing with the times but also retaining part of it's opinion with it's non exchanging members, at least for another two or four years beyond that first change.
What was the point in designing a Government with such an odd rate of exchange of Government elected officials? I mean, why not just change out everybody every two or four years?
The answer is simple. The founding fathers wanted to both prolong existing rule, but also to allow change, and in designing the system they did, allowed for both. The system actually CREATES disagreement and impasse by its very nature, at least for the immediate term. If the people of the nation see something wrong with Government, something Terribly wrong, something like President Obama's Fourteen TRILLION Dollar Debt, they can vote in the mid-term election to Purposely Create an Impasse, to put a stop to whatever madness is at hand. And This is EXACTLY what happened.
The People have spoken. The majority of people demand an immediate stop to spending. They voted in a Majority of Republicans into the House of Representatives last November. Now, that body, that mass of representation is having it's way to Voice the opinion and Choice of the Majority of the people. And further, the Tea Party, a group by it's very nature represents Limited Government and Limited Taxes, was a Majority of the Majority vote. The People have pretty much spelled it out for President Obama and his Democrat cronies, No More Spending and No More Taxes!
I ask you this Mr. President, (and you the reader of course), if the majority of people of this nation presently favor No New Taxes and Immediate and Long Term Deficit Cutting, WHO IS REALLY CREATING THE IMPASSE ??? Why YOU OF COURSE Mr. PRESIDENT! You and your not so convincing argument that Congress must come to a bi-partisan agreement, IS the cause of the impasse. If you you would simply see that the people have spoken, and then actually side with the people that have spoken, YOU would be saying to your Democratic party, "Let's pass this Cut Cap and Balance bill proposed by the Republicans.
But you won't. You are not siding with the majority of voters in this nation by doing what you're doing. I hate to see what the voters do to you in the next Presidential election for not siding with them now!
In conclusion; Kudos to the Founding Fathers of this great nation for devising such a brilliant system of checks and balances, which Purposely creates Impasse, and in so doing, puts a stop to Government absurdity.
Oh Founding Fathers; your system is working perfectly as we have a dysfunctional disabled Government once again!
God Bless America

Raise your Fists to Raising the Debt !
The Big Budget debate is at hand once again. Will America survive the latest rendition of Government damage control and future planning? Things are NOT looking good.
On one side, the Democrats; We can do this budget thing, we’ll cut some spending, raise some taxes on the wealthy, we’re done, we’re good, we’re cool.
The opposition, the Republicans; You’re not raising the taxes. You don’t have the votes, sorry. The people put us in control of the house last mid-term election to fix things, and the fixing’s starting here.
The Democratic ring leader, President Obama; Congress MUST come to a resolution, or we will have problems.
For the first time, I agree with the president… We’re going to have problems alright.
The Democrats are so sure that they’re right, they’re not offering a different plan.
The Republicans are so sure they’re right, they’re not changing their plan.
The President is doing nothing but trying to save face. The next Presidential election is when?
So who’s right?
I have to mention a few things here before we draw any conclusions. For one, raising the taxes on the rich, will do one thing, make the rich pay more, which in turn, will leave them less money to invest, which will of course in one way or another, limit company growth and investment around the nation, which will undoubtedly make less new jobs available in the future.
I mean really, a business, a corporation, needs to produce a new product, and they need a hundred thousand to buy equipment, hire people, train people, tool machines, get inventory, market new products.
But wait… Sorry, the government took that extra hundred thousand in taxes, they needed to fix the budget. Can’t expand. No new product. No new jobs.
That’s one for the republicans.
Ok, hold on. What’s this I’m hearing about closing a loop hole on corporate jets to raise money? That can’t be bad. Can it?
Argument… Boss man can’t fly to Chicago to meet the parts makers for the new product he’s planning for his business, and take him to Dallas to meet the assembly managers and discuss terms in limited minutes they have together because US Airways doesn’t accommodate group meetings on Airplanes of 7 or more people.
Sale is lost. Assembly falls through. Business investment of 30 thousand is thrown away. Business is hurt.
Closing this corporate jet loophole, like any other increase of business tax, WILL hamper growth. You CAN NOT increase taxes in times of BAD, like now, not if you want more jobs down the immediate road.
OK, OK, so maybe the Democrats can remove increases in Business taxes in their plan, by leaving loopholes as they are.
But what about those damn millionaires? Surely THEY can afford to pay a little more. Right?
Let me make point number 2.
Did you know that the top 2 percent of earners/ taxpayers in this country Already pay a little more that 50 percent of the Federal Government’s TOTAL INCOME !!!!!
2 Percent pays 50% !!!!! And the Democrats want to ask them for MORE ??? That’s TOTALLY NOT FAIR !!!!! They’re paying MORE than their fair share Already!!!!!
The Democrats have NO right to ask them for more. NONE.
Besides, what would be Anybody’s incentive to build million and billion dollar corporations, if they couldn’t make a few million in the process of employing hundreds or thousands of people?? There wouldn’t be any incentive. We would have NO corporations, and NO jobs Anywhere!!!
We would be like those starving poor people in third world nations.
I say, make it worth their while. Leave them their golden nugget at the top of their corporate ladder.
But MORE importantly, this Government was formed on the premise of FREE ENTERPRISE. This means the government should have NO limiting affect on ANY business, Including Taxes!!!! Well, maybe they can pay a little in taxes.
This is why the founding fathers formed the notion in writing, of a limited Government. They had foreseen prosperity through business freedom. AND IT WORKED! We’re the richest nation in the World, and the world knows it. Don’t change the game plan NOW! Especially NOT to a heaver tax which is a “proven to fail” Socialist Agenda!
Yet, here we are, thanks to President Obama’s UNFATHOMABLE 14 TRILLION Dollar Debt, to be jammed between a rock and a hard place. Pass the budget or we’ll go into default.
Nay I Say!
How DARE you demand we increase the spending ceiling? How DARE you propose we Increase Taxes to pay for the monetary issue at hand, when WE told you NOT to spend this much money in the FIRST PLACE?????
Any by the way, when former President Bush left office the national Debt was 6 Trillion. President Reagan originally broke the one trillion dollar mark. Bush Senior got to two T‘s. Mr. Clinton balanced his budget by cutting out intelligence spending which allowed 9-11 to happen, but even he left office with more than a trillion in debt More than when he started, bringing the National debt to over 4 trillion. Bush Jr, well the bank bail out didn’t help, he left the nation with 6 Trillion.
But President Obama, or should I say his more appropriate slang name, BAM, as the debt volume goes, along with his Democrat constituents, brought the National Debt from 6 Trillion when he entered office, all the way up to 14 Trillion US Dollars, IN JUST 3 DAMN YEARS!!!!!
FOURTEEN TRILLION !!! GOOD GOD!!!
The Gross domestic product of the Entire nation, the richest nation in the world, is only 30 Trillion. We’re indebted almost HALF of every dollar spent in the Entire Country in a Whole Year! This is CRAZY!
Do you know what happens when the Chinese demand we return some of their US investment and we can‘t scrape up the cash?
Can you say World War III ?
Don’t deny it for even a second. This Debt is DANGEROUS!
The Republicans Are right. The Debt is WAY TOO DAMN HIGH ! And there’s only one way to fix this Mess. NO MORE SPENDING.
But Kudos to the Republican party one further for coming up with a Genius plan. Give the increase we need to succeed right now IF it is matched by equal spending cuts, and NO NEW TAXES !
Did I say Genius?
I can’t believe this hasn’t been enacted already.
Instead, the Democrats are trying to turn the table and make the Republicans look bad by saying:
“Give us the tax increases or we might not be able to pay entitlements, like all the old folks who receive Social Security or Medicare payments”
This is an Evil way to harp on the emotions of the elderly and young abroad, and, what a Twisted Crooked way to spin this story around to meet your socialistic agenda!
They don’t really have to cut Social Security at all. How about they cut the 5 Billion in aid to Pakistan? Or perhaps Cut out Afghanistan and Iraqi wars already? Bring those troops home!
One thing further.
President Obama is further trying to give the Republican party a black eye, by pointing out that the Republicans are not wavering on their Ideological stance of allowing negotiations in terms, and in so doing, denying any chance of coming to a common ground in this heated debate.
I just want to remind the reader, think back, a mere two years ago, when the Democrats had control of the house. Led by the Wicked Witch of the West herself, Nancy Polocy, the Democrats proceeded to LOCK OUT the Republican negotiators from ANY proceedings, by holding closed Democrat party meetings, and secret voting, to force their Democratic Spending Increases without ANY rebuttal from Republican conservation. None.
How Dare they!
I personally recall being Infuriated that I was at that moment experiencing “Taxation without Representation”, the VERY cause of the U.S. Revolutionary War 200 plus years ago, between the angered American Settlers and the Foreign King.
You CAN’T lock out conservation.
You CAN’T increases taxes like you did in the past without repercussion.
You can’t play Dirty Ball, and not expect Dirt to be kicked in your face.
And Last but Not Least, you CAN NOT INCREASE TAXES, the Bill won’t pass, because you DON’T have the Votes necessary to Pass the House!
So There.
God Bless America !

10/12/2010 First Guantanamo Detainee On Trial in US Courtroom
So it finally arrived. The First Guantanamo Detainee went on trial today in a New York Court. Ahmed Khalfan, a Tanzanian man accused of co-conspiring and participating in terrorist activities against the United States, sat as his lawyer made is opening arguments before a jury .
After all this time, since former President Bush duped congress into signing the Patriot Act, which suspended Habeas Corpus for terrorists, your very right for a fair and expedient trial, and since all these detainees have been sitting almost endlessly in that Federal prison so many miles outside the US Boarder, the first prisoner in a long line of prisoners who will all get their chance for trial, has finally been given his day in court. Hooray for Justice! Right?
Wrong !
Americans have once again been given the slight of hand by President Obama and his democratic party. You ask, what could be so bad about bringing a terrorist to justice? What could be so bad about beginning the end of the prison in Guantanamo Bay that is infamous worldwide as being the prison where the USA practices torture on inmates? What could be so bad about cleaning up the political mess left by former President Bush.
While President Obama held the the front page of every newspaper across the country back in February 2010 with his plan to try the Guantanamo prisoners in public courts, people all over the country, all over the world, had their attention diverted from the important facts. Mayors and governors across the country were making public statements about President Obama's plan, claiming how the trials should not be held in their own local cities. "Not Here" and "Not Here either" were words being tossed. Elsewhere, one local politician even made the statement "Our city would be good for these trials" Up and down, yes and No, Not here, not there, maybe somewhere.
And while the Obama proposition for trying accused terrorists in civilian courts had the whole country in an uproar, hopping from one foot to another, EVERYONE was overlooking the MOST IMPORTANT FACT. If the Guantanamo prisoners were tried in civilian courts, they stood a MUCH better chance of getting found not guilty of the accused crimes and having their trials dismissed.
Ever get that nautious feeling from bad news?
It's true, Military courts are MUCH TOUGHER to win a battle, when within. They have a completely different protocol between the prosecution, defense and the Judge. The defense does not have as many opportunities to convince the court of it's innocence. Also, there are Far Fewer lawyers available that have been trained in this military protocol, and therefor, a less suitable and less charismatic lawyer would have been chosen to defend the accused party, due to the unavailability of lawyers. And MOST IMPORTANTLY, there is NEVER a bleeding heart Jury to be hand picked and then swayed. Instead, Military officers and Judges fill the role of the Jury. A prisoner on trial usually does NOT Stand a Chance in a Military Tribunal.
Do you think President Obama knew these facts about Military Courts BEFORE he decided to change where the Guantanamo prisoners would be tried? Remember, President Obama is a Lawyer himself. YES, He knew for sure.
President Obama HAD TO KNOW, indubitably, that these prisoners stood a much better chance of getting away with their crimes if they WERE made to stand trial in civilian courts.
... they stood A MUCH BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING AWAY with their crimes.
So then really, the Question IS; Why would the president RISK giving these war criminals a better chance at getting away with their crimes? Why would he risk the lives of more American citizens if these prisoners were to get set free and commit new terror acts? Why would he WASTE the millions and billions of US dollars, spent on our war machine, that as an end result, captured these prisoners for trial, where if they were freed, the war would be pointless? Why ? Why ? Why?
WHY?
As a citizen, I am OUTRAGED this was even allowed to be Suggested, let alone actually put into motion? If it were up to me, I would have this President Impeached solely on this travesty of the law! Who gave the president this authorization? YES, he is Commander in Chief of the armed forces, But, is he Commander in Chief of the Military courts? Is this a grey area for politics and legalities? A loophole in the law that gives a President of this country, the ability to circumvent the criminal process without ruining his reputation directly with a Presidential Pardon?
Well, getting back to the Why.... There are only two reasons I can think of, the President, any President would do such a thing, to place at risk ALL that which we have fought for. And this is just my opinion....
The first reason; to get around the Bush Patriot Act. Was this even an obstacle?
The second reason, and take a breath; Because he wanted to prisoners to be freed.
If you can think other reasons why President Obama may have made this decision to try these prisoners in civilian courts, Please share them in the comments section. I bet there aren't so many plausable reasons, maybe even none, more plausable.

Proposal S 3804; a Plan to Block YOUR Internet
That's right. HERE, in the USA. Proposal S 3804, Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act. Heard of it yet? If some of the politicians now in Washington get their way with this bill, you WILL hear of it, when it's TOO LATE.
Imagine, you want to go to YouTube to check out a family movie that your brother or cousin posted there of the kids perhaps, or something else benign. You click the link in your favorites list, and from nowhere, WHAM. ERROR 404 PAGE NOT FOUND... "What?" you ask yourself. "How can YouTube be down?" But it will be, for the third time that month maybe, because some Crybaby special interest group or Mega giant Corporation with boocoo DOLLAR$$ called the Justice department AGAIN, and they in turn Blacklist YouTube AGAIN, and again and again.
Maybe it'll be down a day, a week, a month. Perhaps it will have to wait 37 days for an Appeal hearing in a Federal court room where a Federal Judge places a temporary restraining order on the Justice Department's decision, this one decision, this one time around. Maybe not next time.
Your Internet provider will have NO Choice but to adhere to this Justice Department Ruling. It will be the LAW. Time Warner, Cox Cable, Verizon, Southern Bell... Whomever YOU pay for Internet right now, will have NO CHOICE but to ban the website. SORRY. Someone complained somewhere.
And maybe it won't just be YouTube or Face Book or Twitter or something else fun or informative next time around. Perhaps it will be your Banking website or some News Website you use at work, a Blog site like this one, perhaps a critical health service. It will all be at the whim of the Justice Department. All they'll need is one crybaby interest group with a halfway legitimate claim, and BOOM, GONE. Sorry, no website this week. Sorry, you'll live in the DARK AGES, under the Iron Curtain of a dictatorship. Because really, that's Exactly what this is; a Dictatorship.
We all can see the original intent of this proposed law, the spirit of the law, is to help those with intellectual rights for some sort of media, a Record Company with songs being illegally transferred through Napster or Lime Wire, or maybe an online book publisher with downloads for a Nook or Kindle Reader being illegally traded, or some other published work. It sounds Just. It means well. It's supposed to help.
But how much are you willing to bet the Government will screw it up YET AGAIN. Sites will be blocked, wrongfully blocked due to some loophole in the legislation, and instead of fixing it correctly, the government will apply patch after patch of new legislation to plug the loopholes, now only to create NEW loopholes, let alone a set of legalities, so convoluted, you'll need a special government issued publishers license and a ten year legal degree just to start a website or print an add online.
Can our Government handle this new set of rules if they become Law? Hmmm, let's step back a moment. Did they destroy Social Security? How old do you have to be to retire? How's the new health Care working out? Have your rates gone up yet?
The Internet as you know it will be GONE. And any hope of getting it back will also be GONE. It will eventually be classified like a gateway drug.... "Well, things are better now in the USA since free publishing has been classified illegal, we don't want it back, our children will be hurt by the content."
Should I call the WAAAAMBULANCE now?
And who's supporting this bill anyway? Or should I say, which politicians are getting kickbacks from Big Business to support this bill? Did I hear campaign contribution?

These exact politicians are juggling your RIGHTS as an American citizen. Don't think just because it looks all pretty on paper before it's law that it will stay nice and pretty. It WILL rear it's ugly head, AND....... It WILL affect you in a bad way once law, COUNT ON IT.
Unfortunately, there is not yet any way to effectively BOYCOTT the corporations listed there, YET. But YES, they deserve it. And the suggestion box is open.
And pass this info along. Tell your friends, your family, just what Congress is planning to do.
In fact, sign the online petition: (I did)

And VOTE this November. A Mid-Term Election is AS IMPORTANT as the Presidential Election. Get these CREEPS out of office!

10/5/10 First Entry
Why. At this point, Why ? SO much has happened in the past eons where I've so strongly desired to voice my opinion; but why dig up dirt now? Join politics? pointless. The system was designed to be too big for any single man to move ( and correct ), and is therefor rendered almost unrepairable in it's present state. Is the system to be deemed a total loss, the action of an insurance adjuster condemning a broken piece of machinery? Hopefully not.
With the advent of the Internet, people can be set free from wrongful politics. Education and the sharing of information has always been the answer for correcting the future concerning many aspects of life. Unfortunately, with the voice of copious volumes of peoples with bad opinions flooding and drowning the truth that lies out there, mass misinformation can do just as much harm if not more, than the affect of truth towards good.
Therefore, to counterbalance the shift toward the vast unintelligent and credulous opinions abroad, I stand here, to add weight to the side of truth, justice and righteousness, and of course, to enlighten and share my opinion, my deep deep resentment toward the actions of humanity.
