According to legal brief filed by the victim’s attorneys, Morrissey shouted, “I’m going to kill you. I’m going to beat your head in,” before beating the victim and “smash[ing] his head into the corner of a brick wall.”How is it that a disbarred criminal with a history of violence comes to be in possession of any firearm? According to the story he borrowed the rifle. More importantly, since his being in possession of the gun is all ready illegal, why haven't the authorities arrested him?

Truth Comes Out
Remember that story that came out last week? The one with the lawmaker holding the AK-47 in the Virginia State House, begging them to outlaw all those big scary guns. As it turns out, Mr. Joseph Morrissey need to be told to get his thumb off the trigger (a basic safety skill, mastered by 12 year old boys in hunters safety class). It seems Mr. Morrissey used to be a lawyer. He's not now, because he lost his law license. He lost that license for a number of reasons, helping out rapists who had extra cash to spread around, circumventing the law as a prosecutor to illegally arrest people, and being a violent criminal himself.

MLK Day 2013
I remember in speech class they told me to start out a talk with a joke, so here goes:
Did you hear the one about the Pollack the Jew and the Nigger?
If you did, did you have the courage to speak out against it?
Today is Martin Luther King Day. A day named for a man who gave a famous speech about having a dream. That "dream" was for a society in which race was a non-consideration in all maters of political, social, economic and personal liberty. You can watch the 18 minute speech HERE on You Tube. It's worth seeing if you haven't before.
MLK had a great point. That point proclaimed the most resounding truths of the American Ideal. All men are created equal and endowed by their Creator to certain inalienable rights... In MLK's day those "rights" were limited in some cases and in some places in this country because of race. MLK sought to do away with a race based society. He wanted equal treatment for blacks. In his words:
In 1964, white America passed the greatest step forward in civil rights legislation since William Wilberforce convinced the English Parliament to abolish the slave trade. For the next 44 years American blacks enjoyed preferential treatment in admission to schools of higher learning. They were given rapid promotion in the military over their white counter parts. Backs enjoyed an increasing role in politics and they were voted into office in increasing numbers. Public and private sector employers hired and promoted blacks not based on ability, but on color. This was done with the best intentions. The reasoning was that blacks as a group had been on the "outside" of America for so long, that they needed a bit of a boost to make up for past discrimination.
MLK had a protegee, a young race hustler named Jesse Jackson. Jesse, the bastard turned baptist, (his father was Noah Louis Robinson) had a daughter who had a friend, named Michelle Robinson. This young black women was able to take advantage of the new race based system, and her connections and gain access to elite schools, like Princeton and Harvard Law. Latter she would use those connections to gain access to highly paid make work jobs, for friends of the Reverend who seems to have never pastored a church, but who can be counted on to turn out the vote. Michelle married a half black bastard of British citizenship from Kenya Africa. Then after they both lost their law licenses due to ethics violations, he managed to get into the White house.
To be fair, most of the dirt on Obama, including the fact that he is ineligible for the office he holds, didn't come to be widely known (thanks to the MSM) until after the 2008 election. By that time he was in office. What did he do in office:
1. In acted a plan to destroy health care in America
2. Destroyed America's credit rating
3. Record public debt
4. Record unemployment
5. Unconstitutional wars
6. Massive corruption and public money funneled to his pals
7. Worst economy since Hoover
8. Ran guns to Mexican drug cartels
9. Made butt sex America's new civil rights cause
10. Spent millions to keep America from learning anything about him
11. Vacationer in Chief
12. Worked on his golf game
13. Empowered radical Islam
14. Record black unemployment
15. Refuses to address the "flash mob"
16. Higher taxes
17. Less hope for wage earners and more welfare for everyone else
This MLK day we celebrate that dream of Dr. King. We also will see a man sworn in to the most powerful elected office in the world. He's not in that office because of qualifications, or promises for the future. He's not in there because he did a good job the first time he was entrusted with the job. Most importantly he's not in there because of the content of his character. He's now the president solely because of the color of his skin.

In MLK's day those "rights" were limited in some cases and in some places in this country because of race. MLK sought to do away with a race based society. He wanted equal treatment for blacks. In his words:
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check -- a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.The impact of the speech wasn't that it energized American blacks, which it did. The greatest impact was that it motivated white Americans to join ranks and end segregation as official policy. White America came to believe in equality of men who wanted to be judged based on their character. MLK gave his speech on Aug 28, 1963. Then things began to change in America.
In 1964, white America passed the greatest step forward in civil rights legislation since William Wilberforce convinced the English Parliament to abolish the slave trade. For the next 44 years American blacks enjoyed preferential treatment in admission to schools of higher learning. They were given rapid promotion in the military over their white counter parts.

It's a fool's game to take anything Obama says at face value. There is always a catch. For his second inaugural, he publicly congratulates himself for banning lobbyists from sponsoring the events. Of course, no such prohibition exists on the companies who hire the lobbyists. The companies who are trying to influence the government are welcome to participate, even if their hired guns are not. The corporations who are the biggest donors to the inauguration have spent $160 million lobbying government since Obama first took office.That's right not a single positive accomplishment to show after four years in office. The last president to ALMOST do this badly was Jimmy Carter. After four years of Carter, backs turned out for Reagan. With this kind of record who would vote for Obama again? People of color. Blacks and Mexicans love voting for Obama. The reason they give, isn't policy accomplishments. It's Obama phones and cash for clunkers and most importantly, "he's a brother". This block of voters who only care about color and welfare benefits is so crucial to the Democratic party that they are pushing to get all the illegals, legal, or at least voting.
This MLK day we celebrate that dream of Dr. King. We also will see a man sworn in to the most powerful elected office in the world. He's not in that office because of qualifications, or promises for the future. He's not in there because he did a good job the first time he was entrusted with the job. Most importantly he's not in there because of the content of his character. He's now the president solely because of the color of his skin.
Punch Lines?
Sometimes the lawer jokes just write themselves:
An Eagan lawyer is suspended indefinitely after having an affair with a client whom he represented in a divorce, then billing her for time they spent having sex.I'd love to know if the exhusband had to pay her legal bills from the divorce.

Mackey Whimps Out
John Mackey hits a homerun and then takes it back so he can bunt.
It's true Obama is America's great uniter. He brings together three of the 20th century's political philosophies like no one else ever has. Lets not fool ourselves. What Obama believes in that is not Fascism is National Socialism and what is not National Socialism is Marxism. Perhaps you believe that Obummer care is more akin to one of his other two political philosophies, if so I can live with that.
Whole Foods Market CEO John Mackey said he regrets describing President Obama's healthcare law as "more like fascism" in a recent interview. "The term fascism today stirs up too much negative emotion with its horrific associations in the 20th century … I think for now I will simply call [the Obama law] government-controlled healthcare."John perhaps you forgot the definition of "Fascism". Sundry tid bits form Wikipedia include:
Fascism (pron.: /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism.[1][2] Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that seeks the mass mobilization of the national community through discipline, indoctrination, and physical training Fascism utilizes a vanguard party to initiate a revolution to organize the nation upon fascist principles.[5] Fascism views direct action including political violence and war, as a means to achieve national rejuvenation, spirit and vitality.[3]
Fascism advocates a state-controlled and regulated mixed economyDear John,

Can You Picture the Debt?
In case you've never tried to visualize the national debt. This is worth the 2 min to watch and send on to your friends.
Think It'll Happen???
If the news is too good to be true....
It sounds good. It gets a handful of conservative lawmakers out of a little hot water with the people who understand that the game is up. That’s about all it will do. I don’t think anything meaningful will come of it. I hope I’m wrong. What say you?
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said the House would vote next week on a three-month extension of borrowing authority.“If the Senate or House fails to pass a budget in that time, members of Congress will not be paid by the American people for failing to do their job. No budget, no pay,” Cantor said.Now here is a common sense budgeting idea I can get behind. The basic proposal is to bail out the lawmakers one last time and give them 90 days to put together a budget that cuts spending. Ideally that would produce a balanced budget this year, although no one is actually pledging to do that. If they don't no pay for the politicians. So what are the odds of it happening? None. Nada. Zilch
