Don’t Call Me “Ma’am”

Posted on 15/01/2014 by Grumpa Joe

This letter has been around before. I found it to be great the first time, and this time I find it extraordinarily great. I wish I could express myself as proficiently as did Jim Hill in his letter to Senator Barbara Boxer.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

  The letter below sent to Sen. Barbara Boxer from an Alaskan Airlines pilot.  Many of us witnessed the arrogance of Barbara Boxer on
 June 18, 2009   as she admonished Brigadier General Michael Walsh because he addressed her as “ma’am” and not “Senator” before a Senate hearing.
    This letter is from a National Guard aviator Captain Jim Hill.  I wonder what he would have said if he were really
angry. Long fly Alaska Airlines!!!!!

Babs:
     You were so right on when you scolded the General on TV for using the term, “ma’am,” instead of “Senator”.  After all, in the military, “ma’am” is
a term of respect when addressing a female of superior rank or position. The General was totally wrong.  You are not a person of superior rank or position.
You are a member of one of the world’s most corrupt organizations, the U.S. Senate, equaled only by the U.S. House of Representatives.
     Congress is a cesspool of liars, thieves, inside traders, traitors drunks (one who killed a staffer, yet is still revered), criminals, and other low-level swine who, as individuals (not all, but many), will do anything to enhance their lives, fortunes and power, all at the expense of the People of the United States and its Constitution, in order to be continually re-elected.  Many Democrats even want American troops killed by releasing photographs.  How many of you could honestly say, “We pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor”  None?  One? Two?
    Your reaction to the General shows several things.  First is your abysmal ignorance of all things military. Your treatment of the General shows you to be an elitist of the worst kind.  When the General  entered the military (as most of us who served) he wrote the government a blank check, offering his life to protect your corpulent derriere, now safely and comfortably ensconced in a 20 thousand dollar leather chair, paid for by the General’s taxes. You repaid him for this by humiliating him in front of millions.
     Second is your puerile character, lack of sophistication, and arrogance, which borders on the hubristic. This display of brattish behavior shows you to be a virago, termagant, harridan, nag, scold or shrew, unfit for your position, regardless of the support of the unwashed, uneducated masses who have made   California into the laughing stock of the nation.
    What I am writing, are the same thoughts countless millions of Americans have toward Congress, but who lack the energy, ability or time to convey them.  Regardless of their thoughts, most realize that politicians are pretty much the same, and will vote for the one who will bring home the most bacon, even if they do consider how corrupt that person is. Lord Acton (1834 – 1902) so aptly charged, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
    Unbeknownst to you and your colleagues, “Mr. Power” has had his way with all of you, and we are all the worse for it.
    Finally, Senator, I, too, have a title.  It is “Right Wing Extremist Potential Terrorist Threat.”  It is not of my choosing, but was given to me by your Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, and you were offended by “ma’am”?
 Have a fine day.  Cheers!
Jim Hill
16808 – 103rd Avenue Court East
South Hill,   WA    98374
If you care about the way our Country is heading, please circulate this to remind every voter that the “cesspools” MUST be pumped out when we go to
the polls in November, 2014

People With A Mind Can Discern For Themselves

My favorite columnist Thomas Sowell has posted an excellent essay titled “Who Shut Down The Government?” 

Sowell  doesn’t really answer the question directly, but he does lay out the facts about what Congress can and cannot do. Most people with a mind will be able to discern for themselves what the answer is. I tried to re-blog the essay here but could not, and I didn’t want to steal it with a cut and paste so I have to ask you to click on the link and read the article.

http://townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/2013/10/04/who-shut-down-the-government-n1716292/page/full

Sowell rightly points out that the Democrat complaint that Congress should pass a “clean” bill somehow implies that Congress is putting something dirty in front of the Senate. Americans complain that Congress is not doing its job. Congress has very low poll ratings. I support that Congress is doing its job per the Constitutional mandate. The mis-interpretation comes from the Constitutional Lecturer-in-Chief himself.

What scares the hell out of me is how stupidly people buy into the lies being told to convince the them of the wonders of the Affordable Care Act.

Ley me know what you think. Who is responsible?

An Irrational, but Rational Argument

Posted on 19/06/2013 by Grumpa Joe

During today’s headline review one in particular caught me square between the eyes; “Boston Bomber Memorialized as Gun Victim by Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Movement.” What? I thought we were only crying over poor little school kids killed by crazies? Since when do we memorialize a radical Islamic terrorist shot and killed  by a very legitimate officer of the law in a state where guns are forbidden. Had this same terrorist been shot in Arizona or Texas, he would have been by a citizen.

What I am about to say will no doubt raise the hairs of all police officers in the  country, let “We the People” keep our guns, but disarm the police. The best facts I could dig up from the notoriously incorrect internet is that in year 2012, police officers  nation-wide shot and killed 587 perps in the line of duty. Had we denied police the right to carry a gun, we would have saved 587 people from an ugly death. Think of all the good those people might have done for society. Compare that to losing twenty-six kids to the bullets of a crazy person. Yes, those twenty-six little angels could have grown up to become the greatest and best people on the face of the earth, but a crazy person chose to memorialize his suicide by killing them. I can argue the same for the 587 killed by police in the line of duty. How will we know if one of the 587 might have straightened out to become the country’s next president?

This analogy is preposterous and far-fetched to make a point, i.e. we can argue senseless deaths until we are blue in the face, and never stop innocent people from being killed by bullets. (Remember all the perps killed by the cops were innocent until proven guilty). Here is a question to consider? If we take away every gun from Americans, will we do the same to the police?  Remember, if we disarm the cops we have to take away the second concealed weapon he carries, and the third he might have in his car too, or else who knows what might happen in the dead of night.

Here are some more ways to look at the argument.

In 2011, there were  32,163 reported gun related deaths caused by “We the People.” In that same year the cops killed 587 with bullets. When I compared the ratio of deaths by the total police officers to the total number of officers employed, the police won. There are 683,396 police employed in the US over a population of 313,900,000 souls. Death by a cop’s gun comes to .08% where deaths by “We the People” is .01%. What this tells me is that we are eight times more likely to die by the gun of a police officer than by the gun of another citizen crazy or not.

A few days ago, our Senate narrowly defeated a bill to pass the United Nations Treaty to ban guns which Obama will purportedly sign. The Progressives hell-bent on destroying the sovereignty of the United States by handing over our Second Amendment to the virtuous United Nations lost by a mere four votes. Thank God there were a few Democrat Senators who still love the country. My own Senator Durbin from Illinois voted for the gun ban treaty. In my eyes he is a traitor. In my eyes, Obama will commit an impeachable offense by signing that treaty, it also makes him a traitor. All that treaty will do is to make America more vulnerable to those trying to destroy us. The treaty violates the Second Amendment . The President took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, which he will violate by signing the treaty. Of course, he realizes he is making a political argument against those opposed to the violation. He knew the treaty would never pass through Congress.

Here are my proposals:

Keep the Constitution

Keep the Bill of Rights, but add one more to:

1. limit the total number  terms a Senator  and Congressman can serve,

2. delegate “We the People” to approve all raises and fringe benefits awarded to the Congress,

3. impose upon all Leaders, including the President, the same health care and pensions as “We the People”,

4. includes Leaders to live under the same laws as “We the People,”

5. hold all Leaders financially, morally, and ethically responsible for laws they passed for the duration of their life,

6. limit the total wealth a Leader can accumulate while serving to that equal to his salary by the number of years he serves.

7. limit Congressional staff to whatever the home State or District appropriates

8. define the term “natural born citizen,” and require proof of same by those running for office

Lose Obama

Lose the Progressives.

CAN I HAVE AN AMEN?

You Promised Me!

Posted on 28/02/2013 by Grumpa Joe

Evidently the President believes two things:

1.) The Sequester invented by Obama and signed into law by him supersedes the Mayan Calendar

2.) The Pope’s retirement shifts the papal privilege to speak infallibly to him.

President Obama’s refusal to follow the Constitution which deliberately set up three equal branches of government had him flying around the country at the mere cost of 175,000 dollars per hour to convince us, the American sheeple, that he didn’t invent the sequester and that if we don’t get him out of this jam it is  the end of the liberal give aways. The truth is the Sequester cuts are so small that the government spills that much liquor and food at the White House parties every month.

The President should have vetoed the bill, instead he signed it into law. The fact that Congress chooses not to write a new law to drop the Sequester is within their the power, and they are  renouncing the President’s feverish and greedy money grab. In this case, doing nothing is exactly the right thing to do. As Obama has told us repeatedly, “elections have consequences” he is learning that stupid moves by a president also have consequences. Long live the Sequester.

I’m getting on my knees to say my act of contrition tonight since the Sequester goes into effect at midnight, and America will end because Obama spoke infallibly when he said that.

More Weapons Added To The Gun Ban

Posted on 03/02/2013 by Grumpa Joe
Obama Uses an Assault Weapon With A Massive Capacity

Obama Uses an Assault Weapon With A Massive Capacity

A source close to Grumpa Joe’s Place has leaked information about the new gun control law introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein, D-(CA)  A friend of a friend has informed GJP that Congress added a new list of weapons to the already impressive list of rifles and pistols in the current proposal. The new weapons are as dangerous, if not more so, than those already slated for the trashing. Justification for adding the extra weapons is that they are available without background checks and in most cases are free. Some are single shot adaptable to high-capacity, but some come as high-capacity. These weapons in the hands of any user become very effective. Parents, teachers, police must keep up vigilance  for anyone carrying the following:

1. Pea shooters. Often they are a straw from a Big Gulp or any other soft drink. Some clever kids have modified shooters with a hopper magazine for rapid fire shooting.  A shooter’s lung capacity  is the only limit to the pea shooter’s killing power. Swimmers and trumpet players are especially capable of unloading a magazine filled with peas in less than a minute.

2. Blow guns. Formal blow guns imported from the jungle and loaded with poison darts are easily smuggled past melt detectors and are extremely dangerous.

3. Slingshots. A simple slingshot made from a Y-shaped branch and some inner tube rubber and then loaded with a marble, stone, or ball bearing is also lethal. Remember David slew Goliath using a sling loaded with a stone.

4. Spit Balls. A paper or plastic straw with a piece of chewed paper can become a nasty weapon. This one falls into the class of pea shooters except that ammunition is more readily available and undetected by any sensor.

5. Old Fashion Daisy B-B guns. The B-B gun also has a high-capacity magazine limited in fire power only by the users agility to pump the gun after each shot.

6. Pellet Guns.  A more modern version of the B-B gun uses a larger projectile and CO2 for power. Once considered a toy for young boys the pellet gun is effective on varmints like squirrels, rabbits, inner city rodents, and government officials gone wild with power. These guns can also injure or kill humans if aimed expertly.

7. Bows and Arrows. Used by Indians in rapid fire against Union Soldiers while riding bareback. Another lethal weapon. If you are not sure of this one, read “Custer’s Last Stand.”

8. Cross bows and arrows. Another modern version of the bow when fitted with a high-capacity quiver can shoot arrows rapidly.

9. Bubble Guns. An air-rifle armed with a soapy solution of lethal poison can project a stream of rapid fire bubbles and create mayhem in crowds. Only the size of the bottle screwed on the nozzle limits the capacity.

10. Nerf Guns. Most of these guns come equipped with high-capacity clips for rapid fire of soft cushy foam bullets. Reporters and liberal-progressive journalists are the only ones who can register to own a Nerf gun. Reporters can use the gun to shoot softball questions requiring the intellect of a first grader to answer at the president or any democrat in Congress.

Ammunition for these weapons is already under stress. Black eyed peas are in shortage causing Southern ethnic groups who love Black Eyed Peas and Ham hocks to run the shelves of their local supermarkets. Store owners have placed a three can limit on buyers.

Soy beans are also in big demand as ammunition for the pea shooter. The price of soy beans on the open market has jumped from $14.86 to $46.00. Reports show similar trends in the B-B and pellet markets. MacDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s have all changed their policy to dispense free straws. The new policy requires a $5 deposit for a straw which they refund when the user returns the straw.

CNN-Reporter Piers Morgan a non-citizen alien has hailed that banning these weapons is a stroke of genius which will ultimately end all crime world-wide and reform the radical Islāmic extremists into peaceful loving creatures of the sixth century.

MSN-Reporter Chris Matthews reports that the tingle in his leg increased to orgasmic proportions when he heard the news.

FOX News-Shawn Hannity proclaims that banning these weapons will have absolutely no impact on reducing school shootings, or violent gun related crimes. Instead he reports it as another grab of personal liberty by the progressive crazies in the Administration.

EIB Network-Rush Limbaugh lost his cool and used a profanity to describe the author of the bill. He concluded that it is the Progressive way to impose their will upon a populace incapable of taking care of themselves.

Almighty Black P Stone Nation from Chicago streets-Leader Jeff Fort laughs at the new law and challenges anyone who wants to buy a gun to come on down to the Engelwood neighborhood near the corner of 63rd and Halstead. “We have anything you want. Our inside track with Fast and Furious gives us access to a fine choice of weapons, and we ask no questions, just bring cash. We also carry a wide array of plastic soda straws if that is you favor. There is no limit on ammunition, our connection with HLS assures a steady stream of product.”
