Rant for the third week of 2011

Thanks for all the nice emails. I am glad someone out there is reading this as I thought I was writing with no readers. Kind of begs the question; if you write it and no one reads it is it really a blog?

Here we go!!!

1. China’s President Hu has come for a visit this week and has been attacked by President Obama, Hillary and Harry. Be careful my liberal friends, I mean after all, our Chinese friends could have come over here to foreclose on us.

2. About one year ago, 219 house members voted for Obamacare. Today 245 voted to repeal it. And yesterday House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on MSNBC that the reason there was so much negativity towards Obamacare was because it did not go far enough – HUH? Yeah, that’s it Nancy.

3. Late last week Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that she is stopping the construction of the “Virtual Fence” on the Mexican Border. Two years ago she proclaimed the virtual fence the end all beat all in border security. So what could she have up her sleeve that will trump the virtual fence? Wait for it…….She has a plan that will address the concerns for each region of the border and provide a “new path forward” for border security; however, she had no details, None, Nothing, Nada…..Oh I feel safer already!!!!

4. More new jobs have been created in Texas than in any other state in the union in the last few years. As a matter of fact, more jobs have been created in Texas than in all the other states combined. So rather than being proud of job creation in the Lone Star State, our Democrat friends are only too eager to pounce on the fact that a majority of these are minimum wage jobs. So let me get this straight, Democrats would prefer to have people jobless and on welfare rather than being paid the minimum wage they set at $7.25 an hour.

5. How about the next time there is an opening on the Supreme Court we put an English scholar on the high court. Since everyone seems to have such a difficult time understanding the 230 year-old document, maybe having an expert in English on the court instead of having lawyers on the court would lead to an easier time understanding the true meaning. After all, nothing says a member of the Supreme Court has to be a lawyer.

Well I think that takes care of this week’s Rant. Hope you all enjoyed it and it makes you think a little. Wonder how much a used border security camera is going for on eBay?

Until next time, stay safe!!

When to Say When

Okay – the North Koreans have nukes. They have tested the missiles over and over like last 4th of July, a few weeks ago, and several other times in the last few years. All that our government has said is, “ah, there’s no worries until they get a nuclear (or is it Nucular) warhead.”

Well guess what folks, they have it and they tested it underground this last weekend – Memorial Day weekend. Get it, test the missile on the 4th of July and test the nuke on Memorial Day. Got to give it to ole Kim Jong Il, he can read an American holiday calendar.

Seriously, NO ONE has done squat on this issue since Bill Clinton was president (and yes, that did hurt to say). Well, I mean nothing significant. Now there’s been a lot of talk by Bush and letter writing by Obama, but nothing that will create any results. I think it is time for the President to stand up and DO something.

What is it he will likely do? Pressure China, no wait, we can’t do that, who would loan us the money to pay for the stimulus or the new $3.6 trillion budget. Military strike, maybe about ten years too late but what the heck. Shake our fist and rattle our chains…Ahh, the old standby.

Well this one is not above President Obama’s pay grade. Actually, nothing is above his pay grade anymore and he now has to step forward and take some action.

I’m moving into the Bunker,
Bill
