Hey, someone tell RIAA that this is 2007 (almost 2008).  These folks have become Stalinist tyrants in their pursuit of American citizens. Now, please don’t forget that the Congress of the United States, the President, and the entire American Federal Bureaucracy are complicit in the oppression of the American people that is perpetrated by RIAA.

The bottom line is that the RIAA members have failed to adapt to the information age. Representing archaic record labels and artists that fail to create enough quality material to warrant the purchase of a CD.  Besides, wake up dudes, people are “out” of CDs and “into” mp3s. These control freaks are so far out of control, they want to make us criminals if we purchase a CD and rip it to our computer. The message the American people continue to send RIAA is “Screw you!”  If the recording industry cannot adapt and manage to be profitable in the modern era, they should shut down. Neither the Federal Government nor the RIAA should be allowed to FORCE us to patronize and subsidize an industry that is no longer feasible.

The Dallas News has awarded “hero” status to the millions of illegal alien criminal residents that are devastating both our culture and our country (read the article HERE).  Malkin has a great piece on it HERE.

The illegal alien problem is still very close to the #1 issue on the minds of voters, yet, we have not one candidate that offers firm, swift, and effective action to the people who are destroying the United States of America.

Let me make one thing clear: the  Constitution of the United States of America applies only to American citizens.  Those who are in the USA illegally are criminals. They have no rights except to be forcibly returned to their country of origin.

I will NOT vote for any politician who is not steadfastly committed to resolving this problem.

I’m sick of folks like GW Bush talking about spreading democracy around the world.  I have news for all of you: democracy is not what we need here in the USA and it’s not what’s needed anywhere else.

The United States of America is supposed to be a Constitutional Republic. Under our Constitution, the rights of the minority are vigorously protected. In a democracy, the majority rules.  For example, in a democracy, if the majority of the people don’t like Bruce, they can vote to have him imprisoned or even killed.  In the Republic, I have Constitutional rights that are protected by the government.  Sure, everyone can dislike Bruce, but they can’t put me in jail because I am Bruce.  The majority cannot vote to confiscate all my property.  The majority cannot persecute me just because of my religion.

So, we don’t really want voters around the world voting to slaughter entire ethnic groups.  We don’t want majority voters destroying minority religious and political factions.  We don’t want the whim of any majority anywhere deciding to kill, ostracize, or otherwise persecuting anyone under their “Democratic” decisions.

For all you ignorant people out there, STOP SUPPORTING DEMOCRACY!  We should support Constitutional Republics that protect and respect the rights of all citizens.

RedState has plenty of trash talk about Mike Huckabee, the Republican phenom who has transformed the 2008 primary season.  This time they’re focusing in on Huckabee’s misstatement about illegal aliens from Pakistan. Read the article HERE.

So what exactly is going on over at RedState?  I think it’s sour grapes.  They came out so strongly for Fred Thompson that they are wallowing in humiliation over Thompson’s “dud” candidacy.  So, Thompson has been a major disappointment.  Rather than throwing their tantrums against Huckabee, RedState should acknowledge Thompson’s problems. He’s no Reagan. He’s not exciting. He’s not a fighter. He’s a loser.  He’s a dud.

Huckabee?  I think he is a genuine person. I think he’s got the truth on his side. I think he’s a man guided by principle.  I think he’s outside the “machine.”  He’s beaten the Clintons twice in Arkansas and I think he’d make a great president.

WKHK in New York City featured a weekly concert special on Saturday nights called “The Silver Eagle Special.” I never was a faithful listener to the feature, but I suppose it was in 1978 when they featured The Oak Ridge Boys in concert. They sang all those great songs such as “Dig a Little Deeper in the Well,” “Crin’ Again,” “Elvira,” “Trying to Love Two Women,” “Y’all Come Back Saloon,” and more. I recorded that concert to cassette tape and listened to it over and over again.

Even after the tape had vanished from my possession, I went on to purchase every Oak Ridge Boys LP. Including Y’All Come Back Saloon, Room Service, 1979’s “The Oak Ridge Boys Have Arrived,” and “Greatest Hits,” Together, the 1980 “Greatest Hits” LP, Fancy Free, The Very Best, Bobby Sue, American Made, Deliver, Greatest Hits 2, Step on Out, and Seasons.  I remember hearing “I Guess it Never Hurts to Hurt Sometimes” in Fort Benning’s 1st ITB’s PX.

As for being the greatest music group in the history of the entire universe, the case has long been closed: The Oak Ridge Boys are it! I don’t hear very much about The Oak Ridge Boys anymore. I guess they’re still around. I’ve even read that they released a couple all “Gospel” CD’s in recent years. I don’t really know if they get much air time on country radio, but I suspect they don’t.

What I like about The Definitive Collection is that it has all those great songs from decades ago that you just can’t find on any of the download sites. Songs like “Cryin’ Again,” “Dream On,” “Love Song,” and “Fancy Free” are classics that should be on every man’s playlist and they’re all together on this one CD. Forget about 10 songs: this CD includes 24 of the songs that have defined the Oak Ridge Boys as the phenoms that they are.

Now on the down side, they CD includes the song “Thank God for Kids,” which is one of the Oaks’ songs that I have always hated. Also on the down side, I would like to have heard some others of their great songs such as “Let me see you dance,” “Somewhere in the Night,” and “Holding on to you.” Actually, I agree with those critics who think that this album should have included two CD’s.

So, while Oak Ridge Boys fans have some reasons fo be disappointed with The Definitive Collection, there’s far more to love than to hate. If you have the chance to get this CD, GET IT!

Michelle Malkin seems to continue with the ignorant belief that the American Federal Government is good. ABC did us a favor by exposing the secret nerve center from which the Government keeps tabs on thousands of civilians.

The Federal Government is out of control. It operates with no regard for the Constitution of the United States of America. Stories like this one need to be told over and over again until Americans who can still think begin to understand the evil our government intends against us (under the guise of national security of course).

Any of you see Joel Osteen on Fox News Sunday?  Well, I did, just accidentally.  I’ve heard his name a lot so now I get to see and hear this guy first hand.  What do YOU think of him?

I think Osteen is a fraud and a sleaze ball.  He refuses to stand for any principle or doctrine of the Bible. He commends Mormons such as Harry Reid (D, Nevada) and Mitt Romney as Christians, even though Mormonism is clearly built on fraud.

According to what Osteen told Chris Wallace, he wants to throw a big net so everyone can get the message that God is good and wants to help them.  Therefore, he avoids any statements concerning sodomy, abortion, and anything else that might turn somebody off from contributing to Osteen’s massive kingdom.

I know enough about Joel Osteen now to understand that he’s just another “ditto” of a sleazy, money & power hungry fraudster: the type of people who have given religion a bad name for decades.

 Thanks to our Traitor-in-Chief, not only are we faced with the complete dissolution of the USA,  but now he and his Demofascist cronies are going to ban light bulbs.

From the article:

In addition to raising auto fuel efficiency standards 40 percent, an energy bill passed by Congress yesterday bans the incandescent light bulb by 2014.

Folks, we live in a truly (and nearly completely) insane world.

 We’ll find out whether Huckabee is serious about eliminating illegals.  From the article:

“The founder of the Minuteman Project says his endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is a conditional one – based on a tough understanding of the former governor’s “Secure America Plan” to oust all illegal aliens, or put them behind bars.”

Read the article HERE.

Folks, if this is true, I will not be able to support Mike Huckabee.  In fact, I will not support ANY candidate who is not strongly in favor of securing our borders and for building the wall between USA and Mexico.

Fred Thompson Campaign Apologies

Posted on December 13th, 2007
By Sean Hackbarth in Taxes, Cuba, Immigration

From Karen Hanretty, Deputy Communications Director:

In light of Mike Huckabee’s heartfelt apology to Mitt Romney for making reference to Romney’s religion in the New York Times Magazine, we at the Thompson Campaign would like to offer Huckabee our own heartfelt apologies for some references we’ve made about his record as Governor of Arkansas.

We apologize for pointing out that as Governor of Arkansas, Huckabee offered in-state tuition to illegal immigrants. That’s something he’d probably just as soon no one talk about.

A recent Washington Post-ABC News Iowa poll of Iowans likely to vote in the Republican caucus stated illegal immigration as their top issue of concern, tied with the war in Iraq.

We apologize for pointing out that in 2002 Huckabee wrote Pres. Bush a letter asking him to lift the Cuban embargo. It’s easy to see how Huckabee might have missed the finer points of a 40-year embargo. While he obviously knew enough about the embargo to ask that it be lifted, Huckabee clearly didn’t know enough to ask that it not be lifted. So for that, we’re sorry.

In 2002, Governor Huckabee strongly advocated lifting the embargo against Cuba saying it “harm[s] our own agricultural and business interests,” “has not helped the people of Cuba” and has “provided Castro with a convenient excuse for his own failed system of government.” (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 3/29/02)

We apologize for referencing that 47% tax increase Huckabee imposed on Arkansas taxpayers when he was governor. That must be really awkward for him, now that he’s running in a GOP primary election. We notice he never points it out to voters.

Average Arkansan’s tax burden increased by over 47% between 1997 and 2005 (or $933 per person). (Arkansas Democrat Gazette, 10/9/07)

We apologize for telling reporters that a BA in Biblical Studies from Ouachita Baptist University doesn’t, in fact, make Huckabee more qualified to fight the war on terror than say…Fred Thompson.

In an interview with CBNNews in November, Huckabee said “…I truly understand the nature of the war that we are in with Islamo fascism. These are people that want to kill us. … And I don’t know if anybody fully understands that. I’m the only guy on that stage with a theology degree.”
