[Yeah.  Thanks for stopping by.  Now scram, moby. - Moe Lane]

As the tragic events of September 11, 2001 unfolded, Americans across the country became fully aware of what true evil was. For the first time ever, the comfort and security of our daily lives was interrupted by the reality that we are not immune to the same violence that plagues the rest of the world. In a split second, the images on our television screen let us know that we too can resemble a war torn third world nation in an instant. We too can forever lose our once held feeling of being untouchable, and bulletproof. Let us never forget that horrifying day, or the deep rooted feelings that were unearthed by it’s coming.

In the wake of 9/11 we were left with what I view as only one decision to make, and that decision was to go to war with Islam. Our then President, George W. Bush stood before us and vowed to do everything in his power to keep us safe. He vowed to use all resources available to him to track down those who were responsible, regardless of the impact it may have on him personally. For his efforts and his resolve, I salute him, and thank him.

Every year on this date, we are reminded of that tragic day, but on the 12th of September, most allow themselves to slip back into complacency. Not me. I think about our attackers everyday, and I do not feel that we should ever go back to “normal.” I feel that we should redefine what normal means, both to us, and to our future attackers. The new normal would call for the death of anyone even wishing to do us harm, not waiting for the actual act. Our new normal would call for the total destruction of any nation or people who choose to stand by our enemies in any way. The cowardice of the so-called peaceful Muslims of the world, only lumps them all together in my view. If they are so offended by the actions of radical Islamic terrorists, then it is up to them to put a stop to their actions. If they are not willing to make that sacrifice in order to preserve the integrity of the Muslim faith, then let all of Islam meet their fate at the hands of a pissed off United States.

Political correctness does not allow us to win the wars we find ourselves in. Political correctness does not allow us to protect ourselves from further attacks, and political correctness has exposed us as the once great, but now weak nation that has become evident to all. Memorial ceremony serves only as a noble gesture to the fallen, but also serves as an awards ceremony to the world of Muslim onlookers. If ethic cleansing is the ultimate goal of Islam, then I say that we grant them that wish by wiping the worlds butt, and cleansing it completely of any evidence of a Muslim existence.

A rose on a grave is not my style. Marking an event like 9/11 as being a day to remember is not good enough for me, or any other “real” American. The bleeding heart segment of our society would rather blame our country for the cost of these attacks, thus making any financial obligation to guarantee our security a waste of resources. Putting 9/11 on a shelf and forgetting about it just like any other historical event, frees the liberal mind, as well as the American purse strings. We have once again been put in the awkward position of trying to  secure victory by playing the fool in a game of political tug of war. When seeking revenge, victory, or closure, there is no room for compassion for the enemy. Kill them all to ensure that you have not left anyone out.

He who throws the first blow sets the rules in a fight, and the blow given to us cannot be found in any rule book in existence, therefore making our battle one free of any scrutiny. Anyone not with us in our fight to save our nation should find themselves among the dead.

September 11, 2001 marks the beginning of the separation of America. From that day on we have been made aware of the different stances being taken by the citizens of our own country, and the result does nothing to build confidence in believing that we are becoming stronger with time. When the people of this country made George Bush an evil man, and boosted Barack Obama to the heavens, America was defined. We were defined as a nation in transition, going from determined, proud, and not to be messed with, to a nation of cowards who are willing to surrender all in the name of not having to lift a finger for anyone but the lazy, the radical, and the un-American. We are no longer the big man on campus. We have been, through the actions of the far left,  reduced to the nerd with tape on his glasses, who’s only purpose in life is to rise every morning only to be tripped, slammed into the lockers, and ridiculed by the rich, snotty girls in his class. His tolerance of others is admired by some, but still the driving force behind his own suicide.

If we allow ourselves to settle for the liberal identity being assigned to us, then we may as well take down the “Stars and Stripes,” replacing it with a soiled white bed-sheet gladly donated by any liberal in sight.

In the movie “Forest Gump,” Gump’s bestest Army buddy Bubba gave us multiple examples of how many ways we can prepare shrimp. Boiled shrimp, steamed shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp salad, shrimp scampi, Cajun shrimp, shrimp cocktail, etc., but the point remains, no matter how many ways you prepare shrimp, the main ingredient remains to be the shrimp itself. No matter how you choose to cook your yard-bird, it’s still chicken. All of the spice and sauce in the world cannot disguise the core ingredient of a dish, and the more spice you use, the more you are telling your dinner guest that the meat was tainted. Either that, or you are making it obvious that you are lost in the kitchen.

Obama too has a cut of meat in front of him that he isn’t quit sure how to prepare. He has already cooked it every imaginary way, only to find out that it is dry and hard to chew in the end. His once crowded dinning room table is quickly losing diners because of Obama’s inability to come up with a single edible dish. How many times can he poison people with his own brand of political E-coli and botchulism before people realize that he has rats running rampant in his kitchen. He can blame the sickness on the rodents all he wants to, but he is still the chef. It is up to him to present good food that will stay down, and prove to his diners that he is not trying to kill them all.

The health care debate has gone from heated to stagnate, and Obama has not been able to close the deal. Instead, he has lost much of his support due to his own lack of leadership, and his lack of understanding of his own policies. Fried or steamed, the product is rotten and the people ain’t buying it.

Some people feel that when they fail to relay their message to others, it is because listeners are to stupid to grasp what the speaker is trying to convey. They feel that if they only had one more chance to explain their side of the story again, people will get it this time. That is where Obama is right now. He cannot for the life of him understand why the once loyal flock is scattering and running away from his every idea. It must be because everyone is stupid, or racist, or just plain un-American. Obama is so consumed in his love of self that he refuses to admit that the American people are smarter than he is. We the people can easily read between his diseased lines, we fully understand what his intentions are, and we don’t need multiple lectures to help us understand him any further.

Those who were blinded by Obama’s lies and nonstop rhetoric can now see, and I think they will be very weary of wool hoods from now on, but that will not stop Obama from stealing valuable air-time in order to relish the sound of his own voice. It will not stop him from believing that the world is suffering from chronic stupidity, nor will it stop him from thinking it is his duty to straighten us all out. After all, most of us are not Harvard educated lawyers, so what do we know about playing God or saving the world from themselves?

Tomorrow night Obama will once again take to the stage. He has no doubt had multiple staff members working hard on a new recipe for his health care dinner party, but can he make a turd taste like a gourmet dish? I don’t think so, but I’m sure the MSM will chow down on whatever hits their plate, offering only praise and rave reviews, no matter how ill the rancid grub makes them. This would be a good time for Obama to admit defeat, turn out the lights, and get out of the kitchen, while both the house and the populace are still standing upright. Obama should take this opportunity to exercise his right to remain silent. At least old Bubba knew his subject.

As a child, I thought of everything as being absolutes, and in doing so, I felt that my world was secure. Everyday my Mother came home from work, and I was absolutely sure that she would. Every night I slept in the same bed, and I was always absolutely sure I would do the same tomorrow. Three square meals a day, sun up, sun down, and a change of seasons every few months gave me the confidence needed to believe that some things would always remain constant. Life was simple, and I only needed to live my safe daily routine to know that all was well.

Unfortunately our adult world does not provide us with any absolutes. We understand that we have to work for our three squares a day, and that we may not be here to see the sun rise tomorrow. We also understand that the absolutes of our childhood do not automatically disappear with age, but that many of them erode away because of the radical actions of a few. The weak of heart, and the shallow of mind, simply transfer the responsibility for their childhood security from the hands of their former parent or guardian, to the hands of those in our Federal Government. Taking the “out of sight, out of mind” approach to our problems does not make them simply vanish, instead it makes them multiply. Those who tell us that they know what is best for us do not do so with the intent of making our lives better, they do it to gain our confidence in their ability to take care of us. They want our eyes to be closed tightly, and they want us to stick both index fingers in our ears when they speak. They want us to let them assume the role of God, and be the daily dumping spot for our burdens. What they do not want is for anyone to question how they will solve our problems, or if they even possess the ability to do so.

In order to truly understand what a candidate may, or may not do after elected, one only needs to listen to his words, and examine his past. In the case of Barack Obama, he told us exactly what he had in store for us. The problem is, most people never heard his words. They only heard the liberal translation afterwords. They only heard the spin that took Obama’s comments from the truth column and put them into the confusion column. Anytime Obama talks you can count on him to tell you the truth, so do not allow the commentary afterword to convince you that you did not just hear what you know you did.

The single most important thing Obama ever said on the campaign trail was, “I am going to fundamentally transform America.” That is as truthful as anyone could ever ask Obama to be. In one short sentence, he fully explained his purpose, and his mission.

Everything we do in life is based on some sort of a system, and that system has a fundamental structure that makes it what it is. Parenting has fundamental procedures that guarantee a certain amount of success if followed. Every segment of our society that can be considered to be functional, is based on a set of fundamental principles. In no one place can this be better demonstrated than in the world of sports. Let’s take football for example. The fundamentals of football are, blocking tackling, ball handling, teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship. Sounds simple enough, but what if we were to fundamentally transform football. First, just for the hell of it, let’s just delete some of the fundamentals of the game. Let’s say you can no longer block or tackle. Even after taking away only two fundamentals of the game of football, we have rendered the game extinct. It is no longer football, but has now been transformed into a game more resembling soccer. There is nothing wrong with soccer, but the fact remains that a fundamentally transformed sport like football ceases to exist. At best, it becomes something that is still good but different, and at worst, the game of football is lost forever never to be played again.

When Obama said that he was going to fundamentally transform America, he meant it, but what he did not explain was to what extent. There is no explanation that Obama could give that would change the definition of his own words. Fundamental transformation is just what it implies, and once the fundamentals that make America great are transformed in any way, America ceases to exist. I don’t know why this is so hard for people to understand. The mantra of change means change. The question remains, change from The United States of America into what? Any transformation translates into the dismantling of the fundamentals that have guided us from our very beginnings. The phrase has no alternate meaning. If the greatest nation on earth is not good enough for Obama, then any fundamental transforming done by him can only make what he sees as being evil even worse. Perhaps the greatest nation on earth need only to be appreciated for what she is and has always been, and only be improved on by her citizens not her elected officials. No fundamental transformation necessary.

I would love to think that we could go through life without the worry of our country being transformed into a Communist Utopia to satisfy the radical cravings of a few. I wish life as an American could once again be a feeling of security and an absolute, but that will never be possible again until the Progressive movement in our country is halted for good. Instead of fundamentally transforming America, let’s make it perfectly clear to people what an American is, and what an American is not. That would make our Progressive enemies much easier to recognize for those who can’t already spot them a million miles away.

After a flood of disturbing information surrounding Obama’s Green Jobs Czar Van Jones, he finally decided to bail out. The timing was quite convenient I might add. Late night on a holiday weekend is the perfect time to sneak out of the back door, but Van Jones, in all of his arrogant glory, decided not to sneak out at all. He instead, resigned by way of a letter, not only saying that he was stepping down, but also throwing the blame all over the place hoping some of it would stick somewhere.

I find it very odd, but not surprising, that in spite of Obama’s strict vetting policy, someone like Jones could even make the first cut. I say not surprising, because Obama’s close friend and aide Valerie Jarrett all but admitted that they were not only aware of Jones’s background, but recruited him because of it. When I look back at all of the questions concerning Obama’s shady associations during the election that were shrugged off as being “fringe right wing paranoia,” I wonder if anyone is second guessing their original stance as an official Obama foot washer. No, that would never happen. Those on the far left would rather go spotted owl hunting with an assault rifle than ever admit to being wrong about anything.

I for one am glad than Mr.Jones is gone, but I am still concerned about the rest of Obama’s collection of card carrying fanatics who have not yet found the exit sign, or been properly vetted. If the job of taking out the trash is left up to bloggers and tea party protesters, then Obama will be able to hire replacement Czars faster than we can get rid of them. The whole Czar process needs to be deemed unconstitutional and dismantled for good.

The one problem I still have with Van Jones leaving his post is, he was allowed to quit, rather than be fired by the co-conspirator who hired him, thus allowing Jones to play the role of the victim. Had Obama fired him, he would only have himself and Obama to blame, but now he will blame the conservative “mob” for his own political suicide, throwing whole decks of race cards along the way. I just wonder how much influence Jones will have on Obama from the sidelines. He has been taken out of the spotlight, but Obama’s respect and admiration for his racist friend could still be well in tact. Obama could be having daily “beer summits” with Rev. Wright, Van Jones, or anyone else from the under the bus gang and we would never know it.
