Yeah, I know…… “Free”.

My guess is that your tax dollars are at work here…… and it’s quite probably ‘stimulus’ money.

My guess is they would fall under the 'General Welfare' clause

Fuller’s famous homily:

How little the human genome has evolved . . . .

But then, how else to explain the enduring primitivism of the barbaric cult of islam?

Logic in the mind of a liberal is like a snowflake in the desert: lost, alone and soon destroyed by a hostile environment.

The 9/11 was an inside job statement. Hmm. Has anyone gone back to see how many sets of the various tower building plans were obtained how far prior to 9/11 and by whom?
Especially the structural, mechanical, and foundation plans.
Plus the construction materials list.
Track the paper flow and all the fake beards.

9/11 being an inside job if aiding and abetting foreign nationals in the commission of a crime or a terrorist attack were included.

Open thread?

swami7774 (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 10:05AM EST (link)

I was told this is the correct forum to proffer new topics.
Jeff Perry is running for MA-10(currently mis-represented by Bill Delahunt). He’s got a great chance of picking off this seat in November but has to get by next month’s primary first.
Give him a look(and maybe a shekel or two).

Yup, Open thread is perfect for a post like that (nt)

Some WTC facts:

renny (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 10:21AM EST (link)

If the facia, what you saw as those looming grids from after shots at the site, had been attached every two feet instead of every three feet, the buildings might have stood another 45 min.-hr. The facings were not more concentrated because architects and builders were always very conscious of the towers’ weight.

All the elevators and stairwells were centered in the towers, so that when the planes struck and fires started, the tower centers were open enough to act as chimney flues—more realistically, blast furnaces–accelerating the fires and temperatures and stopping evacuations. Only one tower, I think North, had an isolated stairway along an outside wall, but few people knew of it or used it.

The NYFD, carrying up to 80 pounds of equipment, charged as high as the 79th floor in the South Tower before being given evacuation orders, which most never heard because communications didn’t work well inside the buildings.

The structures were designed to implode so that their 1/4-mile height did not fall over and take out blocks of downtown NYC. No one knew if the plan would really work, but it did.

9/11 bears the marks of amateurish planning, which was here a good thing. For maximum damage, the towers should have been struck around 11 am and close to their bases. The two structures usually had up to 50,000 people in each at full capacity. 1000s were saved who were late to work or were not scheduled to start until 10 am or after.

Of those who had been in the buildings in 1993, most evacuated immediately and successfully survived. People who had not experienced the earlier attack or listened to an anomalous announcement after the South Tower was hit that all was well and they should ignore any disruption did not survive as well and those on floors above the plane struck were virtually walled off by fire and destruction.

The worst of gov’t involvement is that the planes out of Boston were missing for nearly an hour on anyone’s radar, and altho’ jets were scrambled out of CT, they were always far behind the commercial carriers. The question of whether or not they would shoot down civilian airlines out of the air over the Hudson remains moot.

Most of the above comes from a huge cover article in the NYT in 2002, one of the now slimey news rags best.

Another WTC fact.

gekster (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 10:40AM EST (link)

Because of envirmentalists, asbestose as a steel coating wasn’t used after the first 40 floors.

from:
http://www.asbestos.com/world-trade-center/asbestos.php

“There was also some controversy that the lack of asbestos used in the World Trade Center contributed to the fast collapse of the buildings. It was stated, in a New York Times article, that non-asbestos fireproofing used to construct the World Trade Center would have been less effective than products that contained asbestos, which ultimately shortened the time that the people had to escape.”

Enviroes hard at work protecting you.

They say Republicans are for the rich, Democrats are for the poor.
If they need more voters,
then they have to make more of who they are for.

I was amazed at the time that the death toll

Flagstaff (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 1:49PM EST (link)

was under 4,000. I was guessing 40,000 would be the final total.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal. If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

The terrorists didn't hit the towers

renny (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 3:51PM EST (link)

before they were full and higher than maximum deaths would require. They were, after, not real pilots or engineers, Thank heavens for those small favors.

Nobody in professional services in NYC shows up before 10am

JSobieski (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 3:59PM EST (link)

unless there is a specific reason for doing so. Thus, far more legal secretaries and administrative assistants died than did lawyers or bankers.

My rules of the road for primary season.
Rule #1: Vote for YOUR first choice in the primaries
Rule #2: Vote for the R in the general.
Rule #3: Don’t let anyone convince you to violate Rule #1 or Rule #2
Rule #4: When in a center-right argument, reaffirm Rules #1-#3–it will help us all to get along better.
Rule #5: If you are using the language of the left, you probably aren’t furthering conservativism
Rule #6: The priority is issues first, candidates second, and supporters third. Nobody is bigger than the issues. Conversely, if you spend your time focusing on supporters, you are wasting everyone’s time.

STOP THE MADNESS!

A reduction in the rate of spending increases is NOT a cut!
In-state tuition for illegals is NOT amnesty!
Requiring someone to pay their medical bills is NOT an individual mandate!
Reducing tax rates is NOT a tax increase!

Bell CA. a cautionary tale

SteveLA (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 2:47PM EST (link)

There’s a big story going on out here in Bell CA. over the salary payed to the City manager of Bell. LA Times is all over it, but the long and short is that the Democrats running Bell have been paying the City Manager $1.5 Million dollars a year in wages and fringe benefits to one individual. There is more news coming out that others in Bell were also making big buck salaries for running various departments and such in this city of ~60,000. Bell is one of those cities in the LA basin that is mostly Hispanic and is absolutely 100 percent Democrat run, you won’t know that Democrats are in charge in Bell from LA Times coverage.

The good, if you use the word good in this story, is the noise now being made by State level politicians about making data about what all cities are paying city managers and others available on line, or at least making cities making the data more accessible.

The cautionary tale part come in when you consider how little attention the voters in Bell were paying attention to what their city council was up to. There’s probably a lesson there, if you don’t pay attention to what the local level government is up to, you’re likely to get robbed big time of your tax dollars.

Chicago, for instance, has a very long tradition of the politicians’ wives working for various “interested parties.

Look for the various “housewives of Bell” to get jobs as needed…

SteveLA (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 4:04PM EST (link)

CA and LA in particular is pretty funny about tearing apart the sort of Chicago RICO stuff. MSM types out here are like dogs, they are equal opportunity urination on leg types if there is a story, too much competition not too.

Besides, Bell is very much a lower working class town and the stink is on them now. If there is anything that will save the rats in Bell it’s the minority racial card with the town being something like 90 percent Hispanic, and lots and lots of illegals.

A shout out to Hoo-Hah Mac.

Mac, I thought about you yesterday. We miss seeing you around.

Godspeed to you and your troop.

You are in our prayers.

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics.

iPhone Update?

rabidf16 (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 3:05PM EST (link)

I love the RedState iPhone App. I use it multiple times daily.
I find it missing one thing that I think would be a relatively easy fix… display the author of each post somewhere. Is there a reason it doesn’t? It shows the title, the date. Seems like it would be easy to add a field that displayed the author’s user name in the same way.
Unless everyone would follow Moe’s template and sign their posts. :-)
Erik? What the latest on the iPhone App?

Push it up!

I thought we had that

rabidf16 (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 3:26PM EST (link)

It does do it for the commenters, but not the author. The only way you can tell who wrote the original post is if they sign it (Moe) or someone mentions the name of the poster in a comment (as happens often with Erik) or, if you’re a long time reader like me, you just know some of the regular’s style.

Push it up!

Dang

Guess I’ll put it in the queue to add that. Fortunately that’s something we can change without actually deploying a new app version, but just a change on our side.

KUDOS to RedState

fpete13527 (Diary) Sunday, August 8th at 5:12PM EST (link)

Tomorrow is the beginning of the early primary vote in Tampa Florida. Since I am in the Republican Executive Committee, my vote will count. Great job RedState in promoting the importance of this involvement and participation.

I have a feeling Florida will go in the right direction and that Charlie and his supporters are going to go by the wayside. The Obama/Crist/RINO/progressive disease in Florida started to turn pandemic. However, powerful anti-biotics and anti-virals have been injected into Florida and they are beginning to wipe out the infections.

My sense is that Florida will go the right way, even though it has been choked hard by Charlie and his cronies’ sewage. I am a stand that Florida will be the red state that it needs to be and not an Obama socialist/welfare/RINO state.

Yesterday I got a really great dose of my favorite movie star….John Wayne. After two or three of those movies, especially McCilntock, I have been rejuvenated with energy. Starting with the primary vote tomorrow, We the People…. are Coming…..2010 and (to quote from Erick’s/Tombstone’s speech) “hell is coming with me.”

Great job RedState.
