I don’t think were too many tears (except the ones clowns paint on their faces) when this story hit the news ticker.
Yes, some people have the guts to do what most of us only dream of doing.

Remember when the Mexicans helped the Commies split the USA down the middle in that awesome Patrick Swayze movie that became an instant 80’s classic? Reading stories like this one from IHT.com makes me wonder if that movie was not so far-fetched?
If you’re having recruiting problems, don’t bring in non-loyal foreigners just to be your mercenaries. Do these foreigners have to swear the same oath to defend our Constitution? Do they even know what the U.S. Constitution says?

I found a fascinating article today in the New York Times entitled “Big Oil Find Is Reported Deep in Gulf” that initially made me smile. It was a report about a huge oil find deep underneath the Gulf of Mexico.
Chevron, Devon Energy and Statoil ASA, the Norwegian oil giant, reported that they had found 3 billion to 15 billion barrels in several fields 175 miles offshore, 30,000 feet below the gulf’s surface, among formations of rock and salt hundreds of feet thick.
Naturally, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this will eventually just be used as another card in the deck for the oil market manipulators. Once those oil rigs go online, the oil market will be that much more “sensitive” to inclement weather in the Gulf of Mexico.
Of course it’s all puppeteering and scare tactics anyway since the oil companies have a “can’t lose” scenario. By not investing in refining and production infrastructure, they can claim lack of capacity and manipulate prices as such when anything bad happens. They also save that investment capital for themselves, and happily add it to their already record profits. How many businesses in the world can you think of that actually profit from ignoring consumers and from not reinvesting in infrastructure? Only one that I know of.

“And I say to everyone: no more. Israel will not be held hostage - not by terror gangs or by a terrorist authority or by any sovereign state… Only a nation that can protect its freedom deserves it.”
- Isreali Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
This man knows what leadership is all about. The world should take a free lesson from Israel’s playbook. Israelis may live in fear of rockets and terrorism daily, but they needn’t fear that they are led by a spineless appeaser. That is what defines the character of a nation and its leader — when they will stand together against what is wrong and take action.

This is the kind of nonsense that makes me want to stockpile firearms and just wait for the government to take down my front door with a battering ram…and I don’t even own a color laser printer.
