Have you heard of DiHydrogen-MonOxide (DHMO)? According to the website http://www.dhmo.org/facts.html#FACTS it is "a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol."
It is something to be concerned about because "The U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful." In its gaseous form it can cause serious skin damage including blisters and complete tissue destruction. It is used in industry as a solvent and even a cutting material. Nuclear power plants discard immeasurable amounts of DHMO every year with very little federal oversight.
This stuff is being slowly introduced into our schools and homes by government sanctioned entities. Sadly, it can even be found mixed in with Kool-Aid. It can be really bad stuff and I think we should ban it completely. There are several groups passing around petitions to do just that. If you want to help, you can do so by visiting http://www.dhmo.org/ and reading about DHMO and how to stop the widespread usage of a dangerous chemical.
For those of you who are still with me, thank you for learning about the kool-aid before chugging it. DHMO is the scientific name for H2O, that is, water. Yes this is an elaborate hoax that is designed to show how gullible people are and how easy it is to tap an emotional response to cause them to do something that is actually self destructive. The information on DHMO.ORG has been passed around campuses around the country and like good little soldiers the students jumped to sign petitions to rid the world of the evils of ... water.
All of the information is factual but facts can easily be manipulated to create emotions that lead to self destructive behaviour. In other words, the facts are the sugar in the Kool-Aid and perspective is the poison.
Last night in his address, Bobama sweetened up the Kool-Aid with a river of facts that flowed in the direction of socialism. He fed us the cherry flavored Kool-Aid through his "beer flavored tits" (see my archived posting under that name) and many Americans sucked it in as if it were the blood of Christ himself.
He promised to force auto manufacturers to stop building cars for profit and start offering cars we need at prices we can afford, much like Hitler's Volkswagen. He will put us to work building roads and bridges, like Hitlers Autobahn. He declared that we could become independent from foreign oil by creating new sources of energy within our own borders, just like Hitlers synthetic oil company, Ersatz Gasoline. He would streamline and federalize our education system to make it more efficient in much the same way that Hitler suggested on page 420 of Mein Kampf. He would help support unions and build the middle class to be even greater than the heavily unionized Socialist German Workers Party of the late thirties (while Hitler ruled). He would encourage young people to take part in a nationally funded community program, maybe he'll call it Hitler-Jugend (Hitler youth). Last but not least, he said that he would work towards building greater national pride and fortifying our military, you know... just like you know who.
Seriously, when Hitler took his own life his ideals bounced out of his head and across Europe and landed in Hawaii....or Africa, where ever Bobama was born. I'm not saying he wants to put anyone in an oven (except maybe Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity and Hillary) but he sure is calling all of the same plays. But then, old Adolf didn't come up with this crap either. He was influenced by Karl Marx and Jean-Jacques Rousseau Author of the Socialist Contract. Like them, Hitler and Bobama only wanted the best for the their country and knew that the only way for that to happen is if they forced it on them. We know that freedom leaves as much room for failure as it does success. Some people just do not have what it takes to succeed so they rely on elected officials to take from those who do.
You see, socialism means that everyone is safe from risk. It is the practice of giving up freedom for security and we know what the old saying about that is. The idea is that if there is a mountain to climb then someone is bound to get hurt or killed trying to climb it. To protect us from that risk the government must prevent us from going up it. If they simply prohibit climbing it then some enterprising young stud will go up anyway. If you try to hide the mountain then someone will eventually find it. So the government is left only with the option of destroying this mountain at a major cost to the people but on their behalf. That is what we are facing.
By spending un-backed money on the leveling of the playing field under the guise of "protecting the people" the government has devalued the dollar so much that there will be no mountain left to climb. Alas, we are all safe from ourselves and now the only thing we have to fear is... everything. We have put our security in the hands of the same bureaucracy that was in control of New Orleans up until bush stepped in. An eternity of liberal control and they were completely ill prepared for an event that was predicted by practically everyone who had ever visited the city below the sea. New York, a state under Democratic control since its founding and whose policies most closely mirror those of our new leaders, was the first state in the country to show two consecutive quarters of negative growth (the accepted definition of recession). Detroit, the state that has grabbed its ankles for unions for decades, is at the forefront of job loss and moral decay. I can go all night but you get the point.
Capitalism, on the other hand, is self regulating. That is assuming a strong federalist government is securely in place. The place in a federalist/Capitalist society is to provide national security, to promote an environment for fair interstate commerce and to enforce contractual agreements. Simply put, to supply an army, to make sure a Texas dollar is worth the same as a New York dollar and to make sure people do what they promise. Not to set a minimum or maximum wage for a worker but to make sure that the worker gets what he agrees to work for. If a company wants to pay 10 cents an hour and a worker is willing to work for it then let him. If the people don't like a business for its practices then they can punish them by not supporting them. By doing so they have proven that there is a market for better practices and someone will fill that void. Yes, the economy will go up and down but people will learn to prepare for the hard times and it will become easier and easier to survive it.
As for those who haven't what it takes to survive, that's the beauty of the free market. We all know that people who aren't financially saddled by taxes are more likely to be charitable. This is what I call "free market morality". Those who are in need must learn to deserve and not just expect. While socialism rewards criminals and clergy equally the moral market demands that you put forth some effort to prove yourself worthy. The lack of moral capital that was planted by the "New Deal" has grown exponentially having been fed and watered by liberal policies. Prior to that, crime was significantly lower and charity was equally higher. This is part of the raw truth that proves that liberal/socialism does not work. It is also evidence that, although Bobamas address sounded hopeful and promising last night, it is just more poison in the Kool-Aid.
If you doubt or disagree with anything I have said then I beg you to prove me wrong. I have 10,000 years of documented history on my side, what have you got?

The "Ban-Wagon" (HR45)
OK, lets see.. yep.. looks like we need to jump on the "Ban-Wagon". We need to start pushing legislation to keep detailed records on anyone who tries to buy whipped cream, baseball bats, ropes, cars, sharp objects, personal electronics and of coarse guns. We also need to regulate the possession of fists and best friends for good measure. These are all official causes of death of teenagers during the famed 2007-2008 school year in Chicago.
I understand that guns were reported to be used in twenty teen deaths in Chicago during that year (although some of those were suicides) but did you know that 11 students were killed by their personal listening devices? Well, it was really the cars that they couldn't hear coming while they clinched their Ipods trying to squeeze more volume from those tiny ear plugs but officially the electronics were blamed.
An additional seven students were beaten, strangled and stabbed to death. One more was pummeled by a baseball bat. Oh and we can't forget the two that died doing whippits. The number one cause of death that year (for teens) was the mighty automobile and all but a few of those were accidental. Then there was the kid whose best friend jokingly shoved him into the path of an oncoming motor vehicle, it's all fun and eyes till someone loses the game. All of this information was provided by Chicago news articles but they were all separated, except for the gun crimes. They were presented in a neat little package to describe the epidemic of gun violence as a reason to do away with guns in whole.
So, lets go down the path. We actually come up with a way to remove guns from everyone but cops. I know, I know, lets just take the red pill and imagine that it could really happen. So gangs would start using knives again like they did in the fifties. So now we'd have to learn to cut our steaks with a spoon so that our wise leaders can remove the threat of knives from the collective. Well, now we'd go back to clubs and sticks like our ancestors and the super nanny that controls our safety will have to ban us from contact with trees. I know it sounds ridiculous but we're talking about a group of elitists who think that it is not the robber who is at fault, it is the guy with all those nice things that is responsible for crime. They believe that women should dress down to prevent rape and that the gun and the SUV are the criminals and that the people who kill with them are the victims.
I sincerely believe that if Blair Holt and the other passengers on that bus were allowed to carry a gun then that thug would not have gotten a single shot off. For that matter, the thug would not have had the courage to run in shooting in the first place, after all, he did run away like a coward once he did his damage.
If you're lost, let me start at the beginning. Blair Holt was a Chicago teen who bravely threw himself in front of a bullet to protect others on a bus when a well known juvenile gang member ran on the bus shooting aimlessly in what was called "a gang related incident". This brazen young son of a cop died of his injuries and became the twentieth gun related death of that school year in the most corrupt city in America.
His father and other community activists, including Bobama, were quick to turn the event into a crusade against guns. So much so that a search of the case brings up nearly a quarter million references to gun control and only one story about the details of the crime. Even that story is laced with gun control propaganda.
So now with the liberal landslide there has been a predictable onslaught of gun control legislation getting passed around through the halls of congress and one has reached Bill status. It is called the Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 (Introduced in House) AKA hr45. You can find it in the Library of Congress by going to http://www.loc.gov/index.html and searching hr45
THIS IS THE IMPORTANT STUFF!
In a nutshell, it creates federal control over ALL sales of handguns, semi automatics or guns with detachable magazines excluding antiques. Every American will have to submit a $25 fee to pay for a criminal and medical background check. We will be required to pass a test and provide a photo and finger prints along with other identification and wait for the most inefficient bureaucracy in the world to approve every single gun sale that takes place in the entire country. Last year over 1.6 million new handguns were sold (according to the BATF) and around half a million new semi-auto rifles hit the market. Add to that all of the used weapons that changed hands. Imagine the waiting list for federal approval.
This means that you must have a license to sell your gun and you can only sell it to a licensed dealer. No civilian to civilian sales will be allowed. At that point the government will collect a wealth of knowledge about you and your weapon and law enforcement will have total and instant access to your information. You will be required to reapply for ownership of your weapon every five years and if you forget, it's a federal offence. So five years from now the overwhelming amount of reapplications will add to the normal amount of new applications and the bureaucratic quagmire will increase exponentially.
Nothing in this bill defines the requirements for sale that the government will impose. It is feasible that they will consider your credit rating in the decision. Within the government your credit rating is your number one factor when determining a security clearance. Even in the free market many companies consider your risk of criminal activity higher if your credit score is low and they reject you under the guise of "loss prevention".
The medical portion leaves a lot open for the governing entity to deny you a firearm and to simply deem you "un-fit" with no explanation at all. I for one am very worried about hr45 and will be blowing up my Representatives phone and bending his ear about this. I beg of you to do the same.
Remember; Guns don't kill people.... Husbands who come home early kill people. The rest of us just need them to "protect the Constitution of the United States from its enemies, foreign and domestic."

Welcome to the "vast right wing conspir..."
So she says to me, "They should make me head of the home owners association" and goes on to point out that she would be more fair. I asked "so you like the idea of an association telling you what your home should be like?". Her reply was baffling, I wanted to beat my head against the air bag cover in frustration. She thinks that it's not fair for you to have to live next to an old, grumpy pack rat with a primered beater on blocks and rusted appliance carcasses scattered about his yard. At the same time, she hates that we need permission to plant flowers in our front yard so what we need is a more fair ruler, like her.
This is the woman I love, a good woman whose father left Haiti to fight as an American soldier and married the kindest, most caring and giving woman that ever walked the face of the earth. They are all devout, god fearing, christian conservative and incredibly respectable people who would never vote for a maggot infested, drug eating, baby killing, left wing socialist. How did this happen, I mean, she wouldn't hear a word about what her statement would lead to.
It was a disturbing epiphany to say the least but what shakes me is that there are many on our side who feel exactly the same. This is the mentality that has brought us here today, to a time and place where free men and women are arguing over the amount of control our socialist leaders should exhort over us rather than stomping them out like a smoldering cigarette at the edge of a sun dried Forrest. Through indoctrination, the evil do-gooders have taught us that the value of the collective is hinged on the presentation of the individual and that morals and standards are subject to the whim of those who are deemed "better qualified" to make those decisions.
I guess what I'm getting to is that the people who stand on those ideas, like socialism and fairness through equality, are not our enemies. It is merely their ideas with which we must wage war. It is a battle over thoughts that must be fought with better thoughts, reason which must be fought with greater reason and a battle against the faulted, but common, sense that must be fought with uncommon sense. It is not time for guns and bombs, it is time to teach and share.
Thomas Jefferson told us that knowledge is the glue that keeps free men together and that ignorance will drive us apart. Our culture has replaced Sunday school with movie screens and American history with art or cultural awareness (both of which were ideas launched by Hitler). We have been raised to believe that for everything to be fair, everything must be equal and that it is not right to allow one to succeed because it causes another to fail. Movies have shown us that companies are evil and that greed is oppressive. This is the nonsense that is dissolving our freedom.
Let me quickly explain. Equal is almost never fair because nobody starts from scratch. A true liberal once told me that everyone should have to turn in everything when they die and that everyone should have to start with the same amount, parents would not be allowed to help their kids get ahead. I pointed out that the cream would rise to the top and she said that they should be forced to share with the less successful. Yes, that would definitely be equal but a far cry from fair. Secondly, let us define greed. It has become synonymous with evil but why? If I have amassed enough wealth to avoid working for the rest of my life would I be greedy to continue working so that my children and grandchildren could have the same luxury? Is it greedy to provide goods and service that free people are willing to meet your price to obtain? Who gets to determine when you should be no longer allowed to provide said product and what does that mean to those who desire it? Who is greedy, the Oil executive that rakes in millions for overseeing his giant company, the roughnecks that demand high wages for their hard work or maybe the consumers that refuse to stop using the product and continue paying the price? Perhaps it's the politicians who tax all of those people as well as the product to help buy votes from those who refuse to offer a product but insist that they deserve their share. In a free market there can be no greed but in socialism greed is solely owned by the righteous leader!
With that, I would like to thank you for enduring my babble and blah blah. For now my posts are more rationalizations than ammunition but once I've recovered from the tremendous pain of surgery I will have much more time for research and I will start tossing thought grenades out for you to forward to all of your mislead friends and neighbors. If you are with me and don't want to go through the trouble of becoming a follower please let me know by sending me a "hooah" by email at flounders70@aol.com , I will not reply or use your address for anything unless you ask me to. I, like you, just want to know that I'm not alone.
