[1984] We are lost our privacy when the sheep kept saying, “I don’t have anything to hide”. Because of that, so many legal precedents have been set that it’s impossible to go back. Once you lose a right it’s gone forever. Welcome to the brave new world you never thought would happen because you didn’t do a thing to stop it.

The Navy plans to cancel Blue Angels shows booked next month in Vidalia and three other cities. And there is a good chance dozens more air shows across the U.S. could get the ax as well.

The Blue Angels are scheduled to fly here on March

[“Free Cats”] Some people change pets because they are redecorating, & the old pet doesn’t quite fit into the new color motif. No emotional attachment, I assume. Quite sad.

[“Free Cats”] What, another irresponsible spinster cat owner wants to get rid of her cats? She will probably do what most people do with their unwanted cats. Load then into the car, drive 20 miles away and then drop them off on the side of the road. More targets for the IKC. Hope the hag doesn’t put them in a burlap bag and then drown them.

Spring is my favorite time of the year.  It’s so easy to set all the clocks, watches and appliances ahead one hour as opposed to backing them up in the fall. Ugh!

I’ve been online looking for a .38 special single action cowboy revolver and the only thing I’ve been able to find are non working replicas and some 1-2 thousand dollar guns. Don’t they make a $500 model?

Anyone know about  the new “board walk” that extends out into the Gulf side of Summerland? It is near the MM24 sign and required clearing a bunch of buttonwood and mangroves.

[Cats] It’s so sad that people put the welfare of domestic cats before that of our native birds and other wildlife. Illegal cat colonies, no matter what pet organization endorses them are detrimental to the environment. Personally, I would like the cats for stone crab trap bait. Please stop feeding cat colonies. 

History of the Flagler railroad bridges in the Keys. Question. Are the spandrel arches for shallow water and the tall piers and steel spans are for deeper water? 

Jersey Boys aren’t too hot either!

[“Free Cats”] I have a cat that I don’t care for. But I would never get rid of her. I took her as a kitten, and she is my responsibility for the rest of her life. 

Now the same guy is whining because he says Obamas dog has expenses that Im sure help feed someones family and also helps businesses. Yep, when the right does it the gates of heaven open wide. When our President does the same thing hes a commie that wasnt even born in this country. Thanks again for the right going another 180º and supporting my point.

[“Gun Nuts — I’m more afraid of the anti-government Tea Party than I am of terrorists. The Tea Party already have the guns here and are eager to use them. It guns are ever used against us they will be in the hands of the Right.”]

Every time I go to the sporting good store, local gun store or make an occasional gun show, conservatives would seem to be in the extreme minority of those buying guns and ammo. Your opinion on gun owners seems about as knowledgeable as people’s opinions of Texans and on VP Biden’s advice that all you need is a double barrel shotgun and to shoot both shells through the door at as “suspected” intruder or in the air. Really? I actually saw a married couple buying the wife a double barreled shotgun this weekend and I started chuckling. Score one for Biden.

Clearly the reason why sequester didn’t scare any politicians is because it didn’t include cuts to their salaries.

[ObamaCare] 30 hour week rule causes reduction in near full time for more part time workers, severely skews unemployment data. Link

Maybe if the Obamas skip one of their fancy vacations at taxpayers expense, the White House could be re-opened for visitors. What a cheap shot – shutting down the White House to visitors! Why am I not surprised?

FTR is the perfect example of why Republicans are losing. In our little pond, FTR thinks he’s the big fish, swallowing anything or anyone who disagrees with him. He is the angry old fart that spends hours taking down our President. The only single thing he writes about is reducing spending–a one trick pony. He doesn’t suggest anything to create a bigger tent for the party. Has he ever suggested anything to put the party in a better position? No, he simply argues from an old angry white man’s perspective, a losing proposition for the party. FTR hurts the party more than he helps. Heads up FTR. It ain’t about Obama; it’s about 2016.

I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That “all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people.” To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition.  ~Thomas Jefferson, Opinion against the constitutionality of a National Bank (1791)

FROM THE RIGHT

Deer Friends, I owe each and every one of you an apology. I didn’t realize just how hurtful these humble posting were to some. I especially apologize to my critics. I acknowledge that my postings are very critical of Mr. Obama and of Democrat governance in general. I can understand that reading sharp criticism nearly every day must be painful. I completely understand how important it must be for some of you folks to read something, anything, positive about Mr. Obama and his governance. So, as a token of my chagrin I offer the following good news.

It has just been reported that Mr. Obama’s decision to not leave any American forces in Iraq has proved to be a huge success. Violence is now absent in Iraq, the Shia and the Sunni have been reconciled, there are no bombings; Christians are welcomed with open arms. Iraq has rid their nation and their government of the Muslim Brotherhood. As in the rest of the Mideast, in Iraq, in the lands formerly ruled by Muslim fundamentalists, and throughout the Mideast  women have gained completely equal rights with men. The Burka and Sharia Law have disappeared. They have been banned. Bikinis and thongs are the norm on mid-east beaches and so is rock and roll.

Iran and North Korea have been convinced by Mr. Obama that their pursuit of nukes is damaging to their nations, an insane waste of money that could be  used to feed their nation. Each has dismantled their nuke facilities and has delivered it all to the US. In North Korea, Dictator Kim Jong Un completely dismantled his military and nuke apparatus. Then he resigned. The nation has now modeled its new government on the America’s Representative/Democratic form of government.Truly free elections have been held, and a new president, Um Lung Dung, the North Korean version of a liberal, has been elected for term limited four year term.

Great News! Thanks to Mr. Obama, Israel and Hamas have forsworn violence. Mr. Obama has led them to a mindset wherein they have been able to resolve their differences and live together in peace. They have bonded.

Thanks to Mr. Kerry and Mr. Obama’s quiet diplomacy, China has abandoned its aggressive posture in the China Sea. The Chinese government has mothballed each and every one of its ships of war. Further, China has forgiven our debt to them and we are now seeing that they no longer are flooding our markets with substandard goods. Even Russia has embraced the USA; they have destroyed their entire military inventory and have focused on making ballet popular worldwide.

In Iran, the Muslim oligarchy has resigned. Thanks to a recent referendum, the nation has forsworn Sharia law as the law of the land. Women now have equal rights, all can vote, and you can buy a Rob Roy in any bar in the land (but none are as good as Springer’s). They have had their first truly democratic election and a reform party swept the ballot. They have elected an Iranian American graduate of Ithaca College as their president. He will be term limited to 2 four year terms.

It’s astonishing, but thanks to Obama, the new Iran model of governance is sweeping the Mid-East. Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, Libya, Syria, and every other nation and territory formerly ruled by Muslim fanaticism has rejected it and each is now a practicing democracy. Thanks to that, the AQI and all of its clones have withered and died. Muslim fundamentalist terrorism is dead. All nations have expressed great respect and fondness for America and especially Mr. Obama.

America no longer subsidizes the UN; each and every nation is paying their fair share. America has regained its standing as being the leader of the world. All nations have expressed great respect and fondness for America and Mr. Obama.

On the home front, gas now costs about $1.80 a gallon, just what it was when Obama took office. Thanks to the Obama’s administration wise governance, unemployment has dropped to 4.6%, exactly what it was when the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007. Even better, the unemployment rate for blacks is also 4.6%. As recently as February 2013, the unemployment rate for all was 7.7% but the rate for blacks was 80% higher at 13.8%. That’s great news for our nation, and we have Team Obama to thank. The number of Americans on welfare and food stamps has been cut to an irreducible minimum. Prosperity is sweeping all Americans. As promised, Mr. Obama has proved to be our first post racial president.

Team Obama’s aggressive austerity and thrift in governance has reduced our national debt and deficit to zero. We are now running a surplus for the first time since Clinton, when the Republicans controlled Congress. Part of the economic boon is as a result to the new tax rules put in place by Mr. Obama. No longer are the well off and the well-connected able to weasel out of paying their fair share of taxes. The Obama genius of championing a national sales tax has launched an economic renaissance.

So there you have it Deer Friends, all good news. Certainly Obama supporters everywhere will take great pride and comfort in all the good news. That’s nice. The fact that it’s all massive lies should trouble no one. The Obama administration and Democrat governance could not exist absent the liberal appetite for lies and cofabulaion.

2) I sure hope that you read yesterday’s Miami Herald front page. The lead was a huge headline that shrieked. “DEEP TROUBLE! A lot of coastal property could be under water sooner than you think.” The article featured a front page map that outlined where the most damage would be done IF our sea level rose precipitously. The thrust of the article was doom and gloom, imminent chaos because of looming low land flooding. It was carefully crafted to make you think that sea level rise is an clear and present threat, and chaos will surely ensue. If you haven’t read it, I urge you to do so.

When you do, you will find buried at the tail end of the article, on page 19a, an information “box”. If you take the trouble to wade through all that is buried in the fine print of the box, you will find that the article is based on a NOAA publication which states that it has: “high confidence of a rise of between 8 INCHES and 6.6 feet by 2100.” Holey Moley, that is a huge margin of error.

It is so large that it is nonsense. It’s just like saying that it will either snow on BPK tomorrow, or it won’t. Therefore Monroe County must buy a fleet of snow plows.

We know for certain that sea level has been rising at a rate of about 8 inches per year for the last 10K years. That rate of rise was unchanged during the 20th century. We know that in the 1700’s observers noted that coastal forests were slowly being flooded by sea level rise. We know that the media is hard wired to sell the theory that sea level rise is precipitated by mans impact on our world. And yet, we know that there is no demonstrable difference between the annual rate of sea level rise for the past 10k years and the rate of sea level rise over the last 100 years. Go figure.
