Si vis pacem parabellum If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong We can thank public education for American gullibility... When did individualism and self reliance come to depend on the government? "A Liberal is a person who will give away everything he doesn't own." Capital punishment means never having to say, "You again?" Liberals Use Guilt As Moral Weapon Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.

'Dam' (this is too 'damn' funny)
'Dam'/Damn !?
| This is a good one!! Look at the 2 pictures. Then scroll down to the actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries regarding a pond and a beaver's 'dam' on his property. It was sent by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality, State of Pennsylvania . This man's response is brilliantly worded, but read The State's letter before you get to his response letter . . . . (Note: it may seem rather long, but is well worth the read! ) This is an actual letter from the State of Pennsylvania to Mr. DeVries: SUBJECT: DEQ ... File No.97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec 20; Lycoming County Dear Mr. DeVries: It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: 'Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.' A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity.. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated. The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations.. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2013. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action.. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative and Water Management Division. Here is the actual response sent back by Mr DeVries : Re: DEQ File No.. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Lycoming County Dear Mr Price, Your certified letter dated 11/17/12 has been handed to me. I am the legal landowner but not 'the Contractor' at 2088 Dagget Lane , Trout Run, Pennsylvania . A couple of beavers are in the process of constructing and maintaining two wood "'debris' dams" across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of nature’s building materials 'debris.' I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic. These are the beavers/contractors you are seeking. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a 'dam permit' prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers, or (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver 'dam permits' that have been issued. (Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated.) I have several dam concerns. My first dam concern is, aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation -- so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the 'dams' failed during a recent rain event, causing flooding, is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling them dam names. If you want the 'dammed' stream restored to a 'dam free-flow condition' please contact the beavers -- but if you are going to arrest them, they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter, they being unable to read English. In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized 'dams' as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more dam rights than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams). So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2013? The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice by then and there will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them. In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention to a real environmental quality, health, problem in the area - it is the bears! Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver 'dam', watch your dam step! The bears are not careful where they dump! Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam office. Thank you, Sincerely Ryan DeVries & The Dam Beavers. |
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
The 10 PLANKS stated in the Communist Manifesto and some of their American counterparts are...
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of land to public purposes.
Americans do these with actions such as the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management (Zoning laws are the first step to government property ownership)
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Americans know this as misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
Americans call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
Americans call it government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process. Asset forfeiture laws are used by DEA, IRS, ATF etc...).
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly.
Americans call it the Federal Reserve which is a privately-owned credit/debt system allowed by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) another privately-owned corporation. The Federal Reserve Banks issue Fiat Paper Money and practice economically destructive fractional reserve banking.
6. Centralization of the means of communications and transportation in the hands of the State.
Americans call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
Americans call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture… Thus read "controlled or subsidized" rather than "owned"… This is easily seen in these as well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liability of all to labor. Establishment of industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
Americans call it Minimum Wage and slave labor like dealing with our Most Favored Nation trade partner; i.e. Communist China. We see it in practice via the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries, gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country, by a more equitable distribution of population over the country.
Americans call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136. These provide for forced relocations and forced sterilization programs, like in China.
10. Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production.
Americans are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, but are actually "government force-tax-funded schools " Even private schools are government regulated. The purpose is to train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . These are used so that all children can be indoctrinated and inculcated with the government propaganda, like "majority rules", and "pay your fair share". WHERE are the words "fair share" in the Constitution, Bill of Rights or the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26)?? NO WHERE is "fair share" even suggested !! The philosophical concept of "fair share" comes from the Communist maxim, "From each according to their ability, to each according to their need! This concept is pure socialism. ... America was made the greatest society by its private initiative WORK ETHIC ... Teaching ourselves and others how to "fish" to be self sufficient and produce plenty of EXTRA commodities to if so desired could be shared with others who might be "needy"... Americans have always voluntarily been the MOST generous and charitable society on the planet.

On Secession and Obamacare
On Secession and Obamacare
The secession phenomenon has swept America. Progressives, responsible for fundamentally transforming American principles that have prevailed for over two centuries, are calling supporters crybabies. Conservatives are divided. Some patriots want to recapture America. Others want to recreate it. In reality, the movement has virtually no chance of succeeding. It’s merely an expression of discontent.
As for our progressive friends, their goals are different from ours so there is simply no way to reason with them. As such, let’s focus on the conservative divide. Instead of the schism, I suggest cooperation. Rick Perry, Governor of Texas (the only state that really has a chance of secession), has rejected the idea. There is no shame in maintaining American pride. After all, we, as conservatives, believe this is the best country in the world. But we believe so because of its founding principles: one nation under God; the freedom to pursue happiness; and the value of hard work. These values still exist in America, but only among a minority of us. So, we are faced with a very human decision: fight or flight.
Let’s face it, what little respect the rest of the world had for us is dwindling. But that’s not because conservatives are being babies, it is because most of the world is accustomed to being taken care of. They accept government dependence. So while they laugh at us, the joke is on them. The point of this, however, is to say that we can leave America, but we’re not going to find what we want elsewhere. So do we really want to abandon what we have?
On the other hand, others of us see the writing on the wall: massive layoffs; increased government dependence; a loss of states’ rights in favor or federal control. Oh, and we have another four years of Obama, and at least another two of a Democrat controlled Senate. The real question is how much more damage can the country handle before it is irredeemable? The next six months will likely provide us with an answer. If the progressives are able to pass their agenda, it will likely be too late for America. So we, as conservatives, have a job. Right now, we are the minority. We need to move across the aisle and salvage what we can of the left. Not all democrats are progressives. Not all democrats want the country to slip into socialism. Some are actually very close to us but for a few social issues. If we can convince them of the true reality of progressivism, we may still have a chance. If not, then we crybabies may just have to band together and leave.
On another note…the effects of Obamacare
I would like to applaud all of the boycotters of Applebee’s, Denny’s, Papa John’s, etc. for making a bad situation worse. First of all, Papa John’s warned us months ago of what would happen if Obamacare came to fruition. It’s not a surprise. Companies do not exist for fun. They exist to make money. Money allows them to provide for their families. It also allows them to pay taxes that provide for other peoples’ families.
Regardless of how you feel about these corporations, you have to accept the fact that a decrease in cash flow will inevitably be passed down. It’s not only huge corporations that are cutting hours and announcing layoffs, all companies that are subject to the requirements of Obamacare are facing the same decision, and when it comes to providing for their families or keeping extra workers around, decision makers will virtually always choose the former.
Getting back to the point of all this, Obamacare is causing a decrease in revenue for companies. A decrease in revenue for companies translates into a decrease in employees. Boycotting these companies is not going to solve the problem, it’s just going to further result in a decrease in revenue. On top of that, boycotting places like Applebee’s means that servers whose hours are being cut will have fewer tables to serve and therefore fewer tips. The boycott is not honorable. It is simply compounding a bad situation.
