The surprise will be here Monday, right on time. I really do hope you like it. See you then.

I said several months ago that if we were going to have another terrorist attack, it would occur around two days. If they were going to release a bio-agent, it would have been around the 10th of October, to give time for it to bloom before election day. If we are going to have a chemical or nuclear attack, it will be on Halloween. That weekend is now here.

Just for the occasion, a tape has surfaced making such claims. CIA, FBI AUTHENTICATE NEW QAEDA TERROR TAPE; ABCNEWS EXECUTIVES CONSIDER POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF AIRING. Actually, ABC has already aired it Thursday night to my knowledge (I was wargaming at the time).

It makes the standard terrorist threats, but after the Madrid train bombings and their result, this one cannot be ignored. Cross your fingers and keep your emergency kit handy.

Here’s some more documentation: Another document ties Kerry to Hanoi: 3rd Vietnamese communist paper discovered in archive.

It seems that more and more evidence is coming out that describes Kerry as a traitor to the United States. It’s sad, really, that he thought he was doing the right thing. He wasn’t, of course, because he swore and oath to uphold the Constitution and he violated that oath.

It’s funny how Liberals can violate their oaths when they feel they have a “higher duty” to some ideal, usually made up to give them comfort and a reason to violate the oath. A true person is careful about the oaths they take, and adhere to them no matter the personal cost.

This article, A Plea for Democracy, calls for peace and civility should Senator Kerry win the Presidency.

I think not.

The man is a documented traitor, who gave aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war. He operated under their instructions and was instrumental in the US losing the war in Vietnam. He also received a less-than-honorable discharge from the Navy. Both of these actions disqualify him from holding the office, and I for one intend not to let up on this issue if he should be elected.

This man would refuse to react to a terrorist attack if our “allies” didn’t want us to (and they don’t). If he did react, he would treat it as a law-enforcement issue, which we have seen is a useless tactic. Terrorists who are willing to give their lives aren’t afraid of a little jail time.

Heaven help us if he should be elected.

Never take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

I found this post on LiveJournal the other night, and I wanted to share it with you.

It describes the tribulation a young person went through when he opened his keyboard without regard for the consequences.

He has deleted the original post, but evidently he offered some rather disparaging things towards President Bush and the Patriot Act. He apparently suggested/offered/asked for a violent solution to his problem to befall the President. Details are hazy.

Anyway, someone who doesn’t like this person turned him into the FBI, and this young person and his family received a visit from the Secret Service.

While the meeting was nice and it was obvious from the start that this young person was no threat, he now has an FBI file on him.

This just goes to show you that actions have consequences, and this will have life-long ramifications. Anybody that does a background check on him will likely discover the file and the reason for the file. This could lead to denial of things, like a CCW permit, or a good paying executive job.

This is a classic case of “keep your words light and sweet, you never know when you might have to eat them.”

If you read my blog, you will never find an instance where I have wished or promised anything bad befall anybody. It’s not that I am a non-violent person, push my buttons the right way and I’ll beat the crap out of you. But I know the line he crossed and I refuse to cross it. Violence is reserved for only the situations where violence is necessary, and anything that I put on this blog is not necessary for violence.

It turns out that not only did Kerry’s “380 tons” was moved before the war, it was moved by Soviet troops. Russia tied to Iraq’s missing arms.

Russian special forces troops moved many of Saddam Hussein’s weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the March 2003 U.S. military operation, The Washington Times has learned.

Hmmm. You know, we always guessed that Iraqs missing WMD’s were in Syria, this is one more piece of evidence that we were right. The question is, what do we do about it?

This certainly presents some interesting options for whoever wins on Tuesday. Do we go in and get them, do we blow them up with airstrikes, do we say, “Give them to us PLEASE?”

Russia was covering their own ass when they did this, and I can fault them for it because they should have known that they would eventually be presented with the photographic evidence of their hand in the cookie jar. That day is here.

The question is, what are we going to do about it? Vote on Tuesday to decide.

I’m going to keep pounding on this issue. Why Won’t Kerry Release Military Record?

He hasn’t (and likely never will) sign his SF 180, fully releasing his military record. Certainly the MSM will never press him on this issue, simply because they are giving him considerations that they would never give President Bush (you did read “the memo”, right?). The MSM would rather beat a dead horse of the Presidents boring military records than call for Senator Kerrys fireworks filled records.

We have already been able to surmise that he is a deserter (didn’t attend drills while in the Reserves) and received some kind of Less Than Honorable Discharge. Documents have also surfaced that he acted at the behest of the Communist North Vietnamese government while part of VVAW. Evidence has come out that his famous “war crimes” speech was written by the North Vietnamese.

This is a man that 46% of the country wants to put into office.

I have been asking those who are not voting for Kerry but voting against Bush, “What if Kerry’s worse than Bush?” I have yet to get a coherent answer.

Only in our public school system. The World Becomes Ever More Bizarre.

Item 1. A Washington State school district canceled its annual Halloween celebration because it’s disrespectful to real witches. “Witches with pointy noses and things like that are not respective symbols of the Wiccan religion and so we want to be respectful of that,” said Puyallup School District spokeswoman Karen Hansen.

You want to be respectful of Wiccans, you teach the tenets of Islam including Jihad, but you persecute Christianity like you were the Turks during the Ottoman Invasion. I guess the sense in this is that it makes no sense.

Item 2. The City of Oakland, California has stopped setting up roadblocks to check whether drivers are under the influence because of a rash of complaints from the Latino community. It seems the DUI checkpoints are trapping more than drunks. Apparently they have ensnared dozens of illegal aliens who are not licensed to drive “yet otherwise obey the law.”

I’m sorry, but people who are murderers also “yet otherwise obey the law,” so why aren’t they let loose? And the further point that the police are notifying Latinos of roadblocks is simply ludicrous.

It seems nobody wants to do anything about the illegal immigration problem. Oh, sure, you hear about “big” busts here and there, but these illegals are like a field mouse you find in your house. You take him outside to let him go and you’ll more than likely find he’s beat you back to your house. We drop these people off at the border and there back in the States the next day.

I have some ideas, but they wouldn’t be very popular, especially with the Mexicans. They would probably cause other problems as well, which is why I won’t go into details with them.

Why is common sense rare anymore?

A new document has surfaced, this one documenting that Kerry actively worked with the Communist North Vietnamese. Discovered papers:Hanoi directed Kerry

I think the starting paragraphs says it all:

The first documentary evidence that Vietnamese communists were directly steering John Kerry’s antiwar group Vietnam Veterans Against the War has been discovered in a U.S. archive, according to a researcher who spoke with WorldNetDaily.

One freshly unearthed document, captured by the U.S. from Vietnamese communists in 1971 and later translated, indicates the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese delegations to the Paris peace talks that year were used as the communications link to direct the activities of Kerry and other antiwar activists who attended.

Read it and make your own decision.

Michelle Malkin has a wonderful new piece, The Illegal Alien Swing Vote.

The right to vote is precious, the politicians preach. Our democracy hangs in the balance, the pundits screech.

Yes, but if we all value the sanctity of the voting process so highly, why is it that I’ve never once been asked to produce identification of any kind in the 16 years I’ve been a voter, from Ohio to California to Washington state to Maryland?

And why is it that we can’t protect our elections from people who have no right to vote, no right to be here, and no right to undermine our safety or sovereignty?

What we need to do is tighten up our identification card procedures and use them to positively identify the person before they vote. Linking the identification databases along with the voter rolls is a small technical hurdle considering both are already computerized.

We need to limit our voter rolls to citizens, and one citizen one vote.

While I hold the teachers up to a high standard to teach, not babysit our children, the students themselves are also largely responsible for their performance. Here’s Boortz on this:

FACE REALITY LADY .. YOUR SON MAY BE A SLACKER

I was perusing the Naples Daily News on line yesterday and came across a story about some woman whining because her son got a C in English instead of a B. His overall score was 79.8. Diane High says that the grading system is not “beneficial to our children.” She’s also afraid that the C score will affect her child’s chances of getting into honors classes when he goes to high school next year. She says “He’s an A student.”

Lady … your kid isn’t an A student. He just got a 79.8 in English in today’s generally dumbed-down schools. That’s not an A, and it wasn’t a B when I was going to school either. If I remember my days at Pensacola High I believe I had to get close to an 85 before a B showed up on my report card. Giving an unearned grade to your child would not be beneficial, as you put it. But I’ll tell you what would be beneficial. Instead of showing your child that you’ll rush to his defense when he slacks off and gets a merely average score in a subject, yank his Play Station away and lock his butt in his bedroom for a few hours of after-school hard-core studying until those grades come up.

And quit whining. If you really gave a flying damn about your kids education you wouldn’t have him in a government school in the first place.

While a lot of people don’t have a choice as to public vs. private school, that doesn’t mean the parents can’t help out and teach their children after school as well.

Ending Voter Fraud, especially in this troubling election, sounds like a good idea. But the execution leaves much to be desired.

This thought actually occurred to me the other day, but I dismissed it as unworkable and still cheatable. Short of a National ID card with biometrics and a digital thumbprint cross-referenced with everybody else’s (and even then), there is no way that an open ballot would fix the problem.

In fact, it would invite more. We have seen vandalism and shots fired at Republican HQ’s in various states. It is not a large stretch of the imagination for voter rolls of who voted for what candidate made available to these violent people to target those who don’t agree with them. This is a very bad idea.

Merely enforcing some kind of picture ID with an address, and then using mapping software to verify the addresses would solve many of the voter fraud problems we have today. It’s a simple solution to a complex problem, and the best you’re going to get without throwing the baby out with the bath water.

This is one of those ideas that sound good rather than a good, sound idea.

TechCentralStation has an interesting article on the Law of Unintended Consequences. The Media’s Shrinking Free-Speech Zone.

The Media has always had a lot of room to maneuver because of the Free Press part of the First Amendment. But with the airing of Stolen Valor, it seems that a back door has been opened.

By attacking Sinclair Broadcasting through their corporate side to get at the free speech part, a rather disturbing precedent has been set.

It shows that if you attack and threaten the corporation, you can affect the decisions they make about exercising their free speech.

The DNC, by complaining to the FEC, has in fact muzzled the free speech of Sinclair. If the precedent is set, then anybody can complain about partisan leanings in any network, and just might get away with it.

This is very bad news. I would rather have a partisan press playing politics then find a way to stifle them. Because people I do listen to (Glenn Beck, Rush, Sean, et. al.) would be next on the list. And believe me, they would be on the top of any Liberals list. To stifle anybodies voice is a bad thing.

Which is why I was against CFR from the beginning.

Dr. Laura has an excellent article on the degradation that Television has slipped into, ‘Reality’ TV is Child Abuse.

For the life of me I can’t figure out how the title “Reality Television” came into being as a description of the sick, exploitive, vulgar, humiliating, dangerous, and often cruel programming gimmicks masquerading as entertainment.

I can. It started with the talk shows like Montel, Rikki Lake, et. al. These shows where people come on and bare their souls and their problems. Some shows like Montel help those who come on and raise the awareness of the audience. But it leads to other shows, each of which push the envelope a little farther. Then you have The Jerry Springer Show and it’s Katy bar the door. I can feel my brain melting whenever I watch that show.

It is precisely these shows that give us a vicarious look into other peoples lives that intrigue us. And the more outrageous, the better.

I am ashamed to see this happening today. I believe Television is not a reflection, but a precursor to our society today. It will take years, and possibly ratings, but we can shift our culture back to a more moral time.
