My favorite television commercial:
I'm partial to pigs, you know. Photos from another of my web sites below the fold. As you enter the gate and walk on the flagstones leading to my front porch, you'll first notice a big planter. Every spring, I buy some annuals to fill the planter, which is at least years old and make of solid concrete. Talk about heavy! My aunt wanted to take the planter with her when she moved from this house, but the management at her apartment building said that it was too much weight for the balcony:
On the northeast side of the above antique planter sits a rain gauge. Isn't he a cute little fellow?
Mo and Osama:
Look who welcomes you at the entrance to my house!
I have more pig decor inside my house, in every room. Sorry, no photos of the interior swine yet available.
You just might enjoy THIS. Crank up the volume and enjoy.
Below the fold, a bit more information as to why I so LOVE classic cars.
My father, born ninety-nine years ago today, was a master mechanic. He was good at plying his trade that Mercedes representatives from Germany once came to our house to consult him about a faulty transmission.
I spent a lot of time as a child in Dad's working garage, complete with a pit. Nothing like the aroma of varsol! It smells like home.
Then, as an adult, I turned around and married a mechanic, one who loved to frequent car shows, as do I.
Due to out-of-town company, hauling Mr. AOW to post-stroke neuro physical therapy, and work obligations, I've been on the web very little for over a week or even had time to read the daily newspaper. But I simply must make mention of the following from the Washington Post on May 24, 2010, pointing out that BHO will not be at Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day this year to place a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:
...On Monday, Obama will make remarks at the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, south of Chicago - missing the usual tradition of presidents speaking at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day....
I'm thoroughly disgusted with BHO as commander-in-chief in the above willful act of his disrepecting our military, especially as my young cousin will shortly be shipping out, to put his life on the line.
BHO reaches out to the Islamic world, but refuses to attend Arlington Cemetery on Memorial Day? What kind of American President is THAT? Especially when we are at war!
I've never said the following before about any President of the United States, but I will say it now: I will not call the present occupant of the Oval Office my President.
I don't usually cite Michael Savage, but I will this time:
Bill Clinton's Ideological Mistake (With Not-To-Be-Missed Addendum)
Did anyone else catch this fundamental error, an error running completely contrary to our Founding principles?
Excerpt from "Bill you are confusing an administration with America":
Former President Bill Clinton warned of a slippery slope from angry anti-government rhetoric to violence like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, saying "the words we use really do matter."
The two-term Democratic president insisted he wasn't trying to restrict free speech, but in remarks Friday he said incendiary language can be taken the wrong way by some Americans. He drew parallels to words demonizing the government before Oklahoma City.
...[T]he people are the nation, NOT the government....If the government takes steps in law that a substantial portion of the nation feels damages the core purpose of the nation..., then troubles ensue.
...[T]his is just another DESPERATE, DESPERATE attempt to marginalize the people....
Equating in any sense the Tea Parties with Timothy McVeigh is so far over the top as to beggar belief. In essence, Bill Clinton is telling the Tea Partiers, "Shut up! Don't dissent because dissension is dangerous and leads to terrorism. Submit to the will of the government."
America has never stood for the principle that dissent is dangerous in and of itself. If it were, we wouldn't have opposing candidates on our ballots.
With all that screeching, let's be sure that Hillary Clinton's words are clear:
I'm sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.
This morning, I stumbled to the coffee pot, waited for the coffee to brew (seemed like forever), and turned on my local morning news, only to be "greeted" by a tirade by Michael Moore, promoting his new film Capitalism: A Love Story.
No, I haven't seen the film, nor do I plan to, but I might watch it when the DVD comes to NetFlix. Know thy enemy. ---------- I admit that I wasn't fully awake when regaled by Michael Moore. But what he said did sound as if he's fomenting revolution. Will anyone hold him accountable if he's doing so?
Just minutes after the Los Angeles premiere screening of Michael Moore's "Capitalism, A Love Story" ended, the filmmaker posted this message to his Twitter feed: "The packed house gets up to grab their torches and pitchforks..."
The article next states that Moore was just kidding, but goes on later to state the following:
His latest movie tries to tap into populist outrage from the left, at a time when that anger has been channeled much more visibly by the right. The outrage that we have seen, the town halls and the tea parties and the birthers, have been over the fear of big government, not that there won't be a safety net. "They are very good at it," he told me, adding that conservatives' ability to "own the bailout" is for "entirely different reasons from me." It is also one of the reasons he was so anxious to get his movie out.
[...]
Moore's most compelling "get" also acts as a rallying point to counter the right's ability to stir populist emotion. It is footage, long thought lost until Moore's production staff found it, of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944 presenting what he called the "Second Bill of Rights," guaranteeing economic security via jobs with a living wage, medical care and a home. Roosevelt said: "Unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world." It's a well-timed, stirring moment, and as "Capitalism" is released Moore no doubt will be one of the message's most formidable champions.
Below is the YouTube audio excerpt from FDR's Fireside Chat of January 11, 1944:
Until BHO took office, FDR was the reddest President America has ever had. No wonder that Michael Moore is taking his talking points from that source! Furthermore, Moore apparently doesn't hesitate to advocate violence to achieve both publicity for his new film and his goal of changing America into Amerika.
Most of us on the right sneer at Michael Moore and his blatant propaganda. Young people in high school and college, however, drink up the ideology he promotes, sucking down the Kool-aid in huge gulps.
Note to readers and family: Updates on Mr. AOW's progress are HERE.
So, who should be making the reparations for slavery, if indeed any reparations should be made at all? It seems to me that calls for reparations have been shouted out in the wrong direction. After all, Islam institutionalized slavery, and Saudi has big bucks.
Note: WC and I also interviewed IQ al Rassooli about this topic on the July 31, 2009 edition of The Gathering Storm Radio Show. You can listen to that show HERE.
I wonder how BHO feels about his being an abid, by dint of his African ancestry. Indeed, if he had lived in a different era, he might well have been swept up in a Moslem slave-trading wave and castrated. Makes his bow to the Saudi king all the more ironic, don't you think?
Listen carefully (hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance):
Tell me your observations in the comments section. Do you notice something disturbing? If not, see the information from the post at Infidel Bloggers Alliance below the fold.
Note that at the beginning he speaks of the rights to life and liberty. He goes on to list the other basic rights from our in the Bill of Rights including "free speech, free press, free worship." What he doesn't mention is the right of private property, with good reason. He then goes on to assert "that we have accepted a second bill of rights." These so called "rights" are economic in nature. Roosevelt also had the audacity to explicitly state that the "normalcy" of the 1920s, i.e. liberty, was the cause of fascism. Of course, Roosevelt spent his time in office stealing from some in order to provide these "rights" to others. These so-called rights include, but are not limited to:
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
This form of legalized theft under the guise of providing "rights" is now the main function of American government at all levels. Now the nation is reaping the fruits of becoming a giant "robbers' den," just as Rome did.
And now you know how BHO got elected and why he is often compared to FDR.
Is it even possible now to educate the American electorate now as to what the meaning of "rights" is? After all, several generations have embraced FDR's "new Bill of Rights."
The Muslim population HYPOCRITICALLY accuses the West of 'Islamophobia'.
Isn't it natural that we should be terrified of Muhammadan Islam?
The entire series of audios is HERE. Also see In The Name Of Allah, which offers articles on topics related to the history of Islam, including this excellent introduction to Islam. Excerpt from near the end of "Introduction to Islam":
Politicians and theologians keep repeating the mantra that Islam is a religion of 'peace', when the history of Muhammadan Islam is written with the blood of conquests and subjugation of tens of millions of nations in at least twenty-five countries spanning three continents - Asia, Africa and Europe - stretching from India and China in the east to the Atlantic in the west. The subject peoples of these lands - who had their own religions and beliefs - did not voluntarily become 'Muslims' through dialogue and spiritual enlightenment.
