Interesting Items 12/01 -
Howdy all, a few Interesting Items for your information. Enjoy -
In this issue:
1. Economy
2. Rock Creek
3. FOCA
4. Franken
5. Mumbai
6. Obama
7. Cystic Fibrosis
8. Mormons
1. Economy. Last week, the serial bailouts of failing financial institutions
ratcheted up yet another notch, with the total of loan guarantees now over $8
trillion. Folks, there isn’t that much money available to the feds, and should
they print it, we are set up for a period of hyperinflation not seen since the
end of Jim my Carter’s infestation of the WH in 1980. To date, there has been
nothing done to work the underlying problems associated with the economic
crash. The Community Investment Act still exists and is still being used by
ACORN to give mortgages to people that cannot pay them back. Sarbanes-Oxley is
still in place, complete with the ridiculous mark to market accounting rules
that has triggered the serial failures of Wall Street, investment, bank and
most recently insurance firms. Capitol gains and corporate income taxes remain
high, and are expected to increase in the very near future, hardly the recipe
for financial
improvement. This problem is government caused. If the government simply got
out of the way, it would right itself in short order, which is why the
Obamaoids are not talking about any of the above. In the words of Rahm Emanuel,
why waste a serious crisis, as it is a vehicle to shove through new policies
that the public would otherwise never tolerate.
2. Rock Creek. The Rock Creek mine near Nome suspended its operations last
week, putting 150 locals out of work. The mine had been fighting the greens
for years, and had unsuccessfully been able to navigate the death of 1,000 cuts
imposed by environmental regulators at the state and federal levels. They got
precious little help from the local government at Nome . This is yet another
example of the costs imposed by environmental rules and regulations and the job
killing nature of both. It is getting so that small commercial resource based
operations simply do not have the funds available to support the regulatory
burden. The mine closing also represents an opportunity for the Palin
administration to step up and get the state into the position where it supports
environmentally responsible businesses.
Editors note: Hope Alex doesn't mind. FYI Rock Creek is a gold mine. Rich Martin

3. FOCA. One of the crown jewels of the pro-aborts is the so-called Freedom
of Choice Act (Orwell would have been proud of this name), which nationalizes
every single anti-abortion rule, regulation and law nationwide. The
legislation would eliminate the ability of physicians to opt out of performing
abortions based on religious grounds. The Catholic Church operates a number of
medical facilities nationwide and is threatening to shut them all down rather
than having their doctors perform medical procedures that they are religiously
inclined not to perform. Now, I think that this law can be opposed using the
very foundation that the pro-aborts have used to construct their little house
of cards – that of the right of privacy. For, if the government must respect
our rights of privacy as the foundation of gay rights and abortion, that right
of privacy must also kick in when we make the choice not to do something. If
the courts find one way for
the pro-death and gay rights crowd, and another way for the pro-life and
traditional marriage people, they undermine all their unconstitutional social
engineering. FOCA? Bring it on.
4. Franken. It appears that Al Franken and his democrat election thieves have
been unsuccessful in stealing a US Senate seat in Minnesota . With the final
vote tallies complete, Franken sits about 282 votes less than Norm Coleman.
Franken is expected to start working his way through rejected absentee ballots,
getting court permission to hunt down individuals, bring them before the court,
and have them testify about mistakes made in the ballots. He and Harry Reid
(D, NV) also have a nuclear option, where they can get Franken seated as the
elected representative based on allegations of electoral misconduct by
Minnesota election officials. Don’t put it past the new democrat majority in
the senate to pull this stunt, as it has been done before by democrats in the
House. Of course, if Franken and Reid do this, Franken will not be welcome in
Minnesota .
5. Mumbai. Members of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage (Islam) staged yet
another one of their little outreach efforts last week in Mumbai , India . At
least 10 terrorists, all well trained and armed with light automatic weapons
and hand grenades shot up a train station, killed the top cops at the initial
engagement, and took control of two luxury hotels that catered to westerners.
They spent the next three days torturing and killing over 300 people, with the
western and Israeli guests getting the worst of the action. As of this
writing, there are thought to be at least five of the little vermin still on
the loose. The terrorists posed as Malaysian students and were all nice,
young, photogenic Muslim men. After the initial engagement at the station,
local cops and military quit shooting back for an extended period. The hotels
apparently did not have emergency plans in place nor did they have armed
guards. The entire affair was
exacerbated by India ’s draconian gun control laws, which turns the local
citizenry into sitting ducks when these vermin show up. They are thought to
have been trained in Pakistan by the ISI, which is part of the Pakistani
government that has been infiltrated and is very friendly to Islamists. As of
this writing, passions for a military strike into Pakistan are building in
India . We will hope they can keep the lid on. Remember this event over the
next few years when the democrats in congress start proposing new taxes on
ammunition, new controls on gun shows, new limits on gun ownership and
transportability, or repeal of concealed carry laws between the many states.
Expect much more information out as the enormity of this barbaric event becomes
widely known. And never, ever forget that this is what we are fighting. If it
can happen in Mumbai, it can also happen in any American city or state with
strong gun control laws in place.
6. Obama. Now for all you black helicopter fans (note to all: military
helicopters are mostly black / dark green, as that is the color of the
anti-infrared paint), the latest and greatest on the Obama birth certificate
caper. Last summer, several Hillary supporters filed lawsuits demanding Obama
produce his birth certificate on the grounds that he was born in Kenya and not
a US citizen. Obama fed into this a bit by having his records sealed in Hawaii
in October. AJ Strata of the Strata Sphere investigated in September and is
convinced that it is all hooey. The lead lawsuit by Phil Berg was dismissed
out of hand in Philadelphia . However, last week SCOTUS Justice Souter issued
a writ of certiorari ordering Obama to produce the actual birth certificate by
December 1. The goal of the Hillary supporters is to get Obama designated as
ineligible to be president and remove him before the Electors meet in the
various state capitols on Dec 15. I
don’t know why Souter stepped in on all of this at this time. Whatever
happens, it will be fun to watch, the perceived coverup will be moderately
damaging to Obama himself, and it will give the tinfoil hat crowd something to
do for the next four years.
7. Cystic Fibrosis. I originally thought this one was yet another California
story. Fortunately, it comes out of Carelton University in Ottawa, where the
local student association voted to drop a Cystic Fibrosis charity out of the
list of recipients of an annual university fundraiser. The grounds for this
decision was that in the opinion of the young skulls full of mush the disease
primarily hits white men and is therefore not sufficiently inclusive for them
to support a charity any more. No word yet on whether they have also dropped
the sickle cell anemia or HIV / AIDS charities. Hot Air, Weds.
8. Mormons. The State of California declared religious war against the Mormon
Church last week for having the temerity to support traditional marriage. The
California Fair Political Practices Commission took up a single complaint by a
gay rights group calling itself Californians Against Hate accusing the church
of failing to report the value of work it did to support Proposition 8.
California is quickly becoming a politically correct Star Chamber not unlike
the Canadian Human Rights Tribunals which have become vehicles for hate groups
like Muslims and gay rights fascists to shut up all opposition. We will see
how far California travels down this slippery slope. We will also see how far
the gay rights narcissists go in their attempt to bully, threaten, coerce, and
beat up all that oppose their self-serving view of the perfect world. As I
have said before, the laws of physics also apply to the political world, and
for every action, there will
be an equal and opposite reaction. If the gay rights crowd, backed by the
full power of the bureaucracy of the State of California and their cheerleaders
in the democrat p art y, decide to go after an entire church for a political
position, there will be a significant and unpleasant reaction. And it will be
most well deserved. The Mormons are not going to take this sitting down and
are now ramping up to fight the assault. I ran across one blog site called Sue
California for violating the civil rights of Californians that did not support
gay marriages. The lawyers are going to make a gosh-awful lot of money off
this one. Here’s the URL: http://suecalifornia.blogspot.com/ AP, Mon.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better
than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not
your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your
chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our
countrymen."
- Samuel Adams, speech at the Philadelphia
State House, August 1, 1776.

With ACORN, La Raza, and Ohio Dem officials sitting on 20,000 suspect voter
registrations and other Dept heads releasing Joe the Plumber's confidential
information, this has been an incredibly, uncreditable election.
Hope you didn't waste your time and gas to stand in line at one of their
polling places hoping the electoral system isn't a fraud.
