AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 14:23:50 -0600

HOW DARE YOU MR PRESIDENT?

Yes - I'm talking to you. That's still legal in this country for now. HOW DARE YOU? How dare you put one single American life at risk in a war you have no intention of winning? How dare you say in one sentence that it is in our "vital national interest" and in the very next sentence say but we are coming home in 18 months?

You've already told us you have a problem with the word "victory" and so now you are paying lip service to being a war time leader and you are using American lives for your personal politics. I repeat...

How dare you?

Maybe you've heard of one of this nation's greatest ever generals - General Douglas MacArthur - who famously said "In war there is no substitute for victory." Perhaps you feel you know better than him when it comes to military matters? Clearly you think you know better than the very general YOU YOURSELF appointed because you failed to deliver to him what he told you he needed.

But it is MacArthur I keep coming back to who also said "It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it." Did you ever attend a history class Mr President? Did they teach you these famous and oh so true comments by one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived?

His words should be permanently engraved on the walls of the Oval Office as you decide the fate of our brave men and women who go off to fight for freedom under a Commander in Chief who apparently has no idea what the mission is.

What is the mission Mr President? What is of "vital national interest" that will not be there in 18 months? Do you really believe that the Taliban will be defeated and the terrorist garbage who I refuse to give a name to, be driven from the land or better still, DEAD, when you can't even come up with the troop numbers YOUR GENERAL has begged and pleaded for?

And what happens if in 18 months time (hmmm...there might be a Presidential election underway here at that time, obviously that had NO BEARING whatsoever on your decision) if the Taliban are still there and if the terrorists are still there as well? Will you change your mind or will that be determined by how well you are doing in the polls?

It was perhaps the very worst speech you have ever given. Speaking as a writer it was so clear that there were sections of the speech where the teleprompter told you to "pause for applause" but there was no applause. Just uncomfortable silence.

There were numerous people falling asleep - ASLEEP - because they clearly didn't believe a word you were saying. They were in the presence of the President of the United States - in fact our first ever "rock star" President - and they were falling asleep!

Chris Matthews from your 'State run MSNBC' described your visit to West Point as entering the "enemy camp". Has any President in the history of this great nation been described in that way? When people who get "tingles" running down their legs when they think about you, to describe your visit in that fashion, it is perhaps time for you to wake up and understand the significance of the home you share with your family right now at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

"Vital national interest". Really Mr President? You were asked for 60,000. You were told 40,000 minimum and you gave 30,000 to support this "vital national interest". I am ashamed today. I am ashamed that we have a President who is either so dumb - which by the way I do not believe - or so self absorbed (which I do believe) that he is willing to place American lives on the line for (a) something he doesn't believe in and (b) so he can't be accused in some forthcoming election of being unable to make a decision.

Disgraceful! You clearly don't want victory in Afghanistan and so you MUST do the right thing.

BRING THEM HOME!

I still have hope that you will see the light. I have hope that you understand that this nation was born under the grace of God. I still have hope that you understand that this is still - despite your best efforts - the greatest nation in the history of the planet. I still have hope that you understand there is NO WAR WE CANNOT WIN if the will to win it exists.

If you see that light and understand what office you hold and want to crush the last breath out of every single Taliban and terrorist in Afghanistan, then send 60,000 with a seek and destroy mission. Better still - a seek and turn them into dust mission. Our brave men and women could well be home in 18 months if you chose that route.

SHAPE UP OR SHIP OUT MR PRESIDENT

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 07:39:24 -0600

With the attrocious speech by the President last night, this seems particularly relevant. Do we want to win in Afghanistan? If you answer that question with a "yes" then send in the troops. If you even have to try and define "victory" then get out. If we do not know our mission, then it is not worth the life of a single American.

I am grateful to a very good friend of mine for forwarding this e-mail to me. I saw it about two weeks ago, but at that time I was unable to confirm whether or not it is authentic. I even tried to find the author in Hawaii and have him on our Thanksgiving Show on 540 WFLA.

And then just today I received it on e-mail again. This time when I checked it I was able to come up with the following. The author was featured in Fore 'n Aft Magazine and its publisher confirmed that Harold Estes is both real and wrote the letter. He in fact dictated it to a secretary, but personally signed it.

It speaks for itself and needs no further additions from me apart from to thank Mr Estes for his incredible service to our nation.

Dear President Obama,

My name is Harold Estes, approaching 95 on December 13 of this year. People meeting me for the first time don't believe my age because I remain wrinkle free and pretty much mentally alert. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1934 and served proudly before, during and after WW II retiring as a Master Chief Bos'n Mate. Now I live in a "rest home" located on the western end of Pearl Harbor , allowing me to keep alive the memories of 23 years of service to my country.

One of the benefits of my age, perhaps the only one, is to speak my mind, blunt and direct even to the head man. So here goes. I am amazed, angry and determined not to see my country die before I do, but you seem hell bent not to grant me that wish. I can't figure out what country you are the president of.You fly around the world telling our friends and enemies despicable lies like:

"We're no longer a Christian nation"
"America is arrogant"
Your wife even announced to the world. . .
"America is mean-spirited."

Please tell her to try preaching that nonsense to 23 generations of our war dead buried all over the globe who died for no other reason than to free a whole lot of strangers from tyranny and hopelessness.)

I'd say shame on the both of you, but I don't think you like America, nor do I see an ounce of gratefulness in anything you do, for the obvious gifts this country has given you. To be without shame or gratefulness is a dangerous thing for a man sitting in the White House.

After 9/11 you said: "America hasn't lived up to her ideals." Which ones did you mean? Was it the notion of personal liberty that 11,000 farmers and shopkeepers died for to win independence from the British? Or maybe the ideal that no man should be a slave to another man, that 500,000 men died for in the Civil War? I hope you didn't mean the ideal 470,000 fathers, brothers, husbands, and a lot of fellas I knew personally died for in WWII, because we felt real strongly about not letting any nation push us around, because we stand for freedom.

I don't think you mean the ideal that says equality is better than discrimination. You know the one that a whole lot of white people understood when they helped to get you elected. Take a little advice from a very old geezer, young man. Shape up and start acting like an American. If you don't, I'll do what I can to see you get shipped out of that fancy rental on Pennsylvania Avenue .

You were elected to lead not to bow, apologize and kiss the hands of murderers and corrupt leaders who still treat their people like slaves. And just who do you think you are telling the American people not to jump to conclusions and condemn that Muslim major who killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded dozens more.

You mean you don't want us to do what you did when that white cop used force to subdue that black college professor in Massachusetts , who was putting up a fight? You don't mind offending the police calling them stupid but you don't want us to offend Muslim fanatics by calling them what they are, terrorists.

One more thing. I realize you never served in the military and never had to defend your country with your life, but you're the Commander-in-Chief now, son. Do your job. When your battle-hardened field General asks you for 40,000 more troops to complete the mission, give them to him. But if you're not in this fight to win, then get out.

The life of one American soldier is not worth the best political strategy you're thinking of. You could be our greatest president because you face the greatest challenge ever presented to any president. You're not going to restore American greatness by bringing back our bloated economy. That's not our greatest threat. Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now.

And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle.

Sincerely,
Harold B. Estes

Cute Christmas Trees ......

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:51:38 -0600

A very worthwhile thing.

Via International Financing Solutions :

Christmas Crafts by Kristin

Some of you on AR may have seen my previous blogs about my sister Kristin. For those who have not, Kristin was born with Cerebral Palsy. Every day she wakes up and has to deal with her mental and physical disabilities, yet every day she is always happy and smiling. In many ways she has the mind of a child but in other ways she is just as bright as any other 39 year old lady. Kristin is also one of the funniest people I know. She is always coming off with some new saying or phrase. Her most recent one she is "Chow baby"..... instead of saying "good bye".

Kristin keeps herself busy doing a variety of crafts. She makes pot holders, shaws, and decorates Christmas Trees with shells which mom & I collect off our beaches. All of these items she sells to family and friends ..... Heck, even if I need a couple pot holders, I need to pay for them!!!! Kristin cuts NO slack, nor does she extend any credit.

To the right are a couple pictures of the Christmas Trees she decorates. These trees are roughly 19 inches tall and are extremely adorable. No animal were killed to make these trees as all the shells were "empty" when collected off the beach. (FYI ... it is illegal to keep or collect live shells off our beaches).

She really enjoys doing the crafts and gets a big excitement when something sells.

If you would be interested in purchasing one of Kristin's trees, please send me an email ...
sallen11867@aol.com

She also has potholders for sale....

Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season.

CLIMATE HOAX - TEMP DATA DUMPED

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:03:50 -0600

On Friday of last week, I was hosting BHL on 540 WFLA and my guest was one of the world's leading authorities on the planet's climate - Lord Christopher Monckton - who apart from anything else, is the former Science Adviser to Margaret Thatcher's government.

You can listen to that interview by CLICKING HERE.

One of the things we kept returning to was the now proven hoax of the whole Global Warming fiasco - a problem that could easily lead to the biggest tax bill in the planet's history in the form of Cap and Trade, and perhaps more importantly, the president going over to Copenhagen and signing a treaty that would cede United States sovereignty to an unelected world government body.

A whistle blower released more than 1,000 e-mails and more than 70 documents which prove that the data on temperature has been manipulated to prove a lie - that the planet is warming. The reality is that the planet is cooling.

And now today we find that the same scientists who wrote the 70 plus documents and exchanged the 1,000 plus e-mails, destroyed the very source data they say proved their point - making it impossible for anyone to check their so-called work.

The UK's Sunday Times reported the following: SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA's Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals - stored on paper and magnetic tape - were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.

Look at this again - "The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted . . ." Adjusted? really?

The only truly shocking thing left is that despite the lies; despite the proof of manipulation; despite the fact that those who wish to literally take over the world have been caught with their hands in the cookie jar; despite all of that, the mainstream media continues to ignore what I really think is perhaps the biggest story of the 21st century so far and the President still intends to go to Copenhagen and sign away our freedom.

I was a journalist in various places around the world for a very long time. I am simply left wondering where the journalists are right now? CNN thought the most important story over the weekend after Tiger Woods, was the bad spelling on the menus at the gate crashed White House State Dinner!

Give me a break!!!!!

AMAZING TWO DAYS ON THE RADIO

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:07:21 -0600

Well folks, I just finished my most recent two day shift, hosting breakfast on 540 WFLA between 6-9am weekdays right here in Orlando.

On Thanksgiving itself, I was able to thank a real live American hero for his service - my friend Spanky Gibson. I was also able to educate those willing to listen, about the invention - and total failure of socialism - by the Pilgrims in 1622. By the way, they also invented the hugely successful free market!

Today was - if anything - even better. Apart from talking about gate crashing State Dinners at the White House and Black Friday, we spent a lot of time on the now proven global warming hoax with Lord Christopher Monckton.

But more impotrantly than that, the President is just two weeks away from signing a treaty that will cede US Soverignty to a non elected World Government.

I even got the joy of throwing off a left winger, who, when faced with the facts, simply responded with "you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong". Those of you who know me also know that I welcome the debate. But I'm not going to waste time on someone who clearly doesn't have two brain cells to rub together.

If you missed the shows, they are available on podcast at the following URL. Just download each hour from 11/26 and 11/27.

PALIN CLOSES GAP ON OBAMA

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:33:30 -0600

The LA Times is worried! Don't lose any sleep over that, but know it to be true! They've taken a look at the numbers and they don't like what they are seeing. Sarah Palin has silently closed the gap on the President in an imaginary 2012 election. Some polls even have her ahead!

But, this is the LA Times and so obviously it couldn't resist the urge to unleash the attack dogs again. Read this! "Not that it matters politically because obviously she's a female Republican dunce and he's obviously a male Democratic genius".

Now I have to remind you that I was a journalist in the UK. These days I get paid for my opinion and you read my opinion here, but back in the good old newspaper days, NO POLITICIAN knew my politics. The first lesson in the first class in journalism school used to be the Fox News mantra - "fair and balanced". I have no idea what they are teaching in our universities these days that would allow a comment like the one I just reprinted from the LA Times to appear in print. If one of my reporters had done that when I was editing three newspapers, I would have fired them.

Anyway - sidebar over and back to the main story here.

And the main story for me is quite simple. The left simply doesn't understand Sarah Palin or the way she resonates with the people. They have done everything they can think of to destroy this woman and indeed her family, and yet here we are on a nationwide book tour with people standing in line for more than 24 hours just to get 30 seconds with her while she signs the book.

How can this be? The leftist elite tells us she's an idiot. They make fun of her. They try oh so hard to prove she has a bad marriage. That she's a bad mom; that she was a terrible Governor; that she broke the law and on and on and on and on. And yet, the people love her. The left has NO RESPECT for the people, because of course the people are incredibly dumb. The leftist elite knows best what's good for you. You can't possibly know better than them. So how can the dumb American people simply not get it after everything the left has done to take Palin down?

It's real simple - SHE'S ONE OF US!

Not only that, but she communicates with us on an equal footing. She NEVER talks down to us. NEVER assumes she knows better than us. And NEVER tries to find a way around the CONSTITUTION. Wake up lefties! We're coming to take our country back. It starts in less than a year. Tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...tock...

I got side tracked again. The LA Times! They even reported today that the President's numbers are down to 48% while Palin's are up to 47%. It's also early enough in his Presidency for the Times to report the following without having an effect on his chances in 2012. "Although presidential incumbency has hardly kept Obama chained to the Oval Office, he and Joe Biden now own the U.S. economy, where their much-vaunted $787 billion economic stimulus package has so far stimulated unemployment to grow from 8% to more than 10%."

Amazing!

Having said that, the Times is also clearly concerned about the 2010 elections and shot across the President's bow today in an extremely direct way. "Historically, the White House party loses about 17 House seats in a normal midterm election cycle. That wouldn't change control of the House.

George W. Bush's GOP actually gained seats in 2002. Democrat Bill Clinton's first midterm election was a political Katrina, producing the Contract with America and so-called Republican revolution that saw the GOP take control of both houses of Congress after years of minority status.

Much of that turnaround was attributed to Clinton having run in 1992 as a centrist and then immediately pushed a more liberal agenda involving something called healthcare reform.
But that couldn't possibly happen again because of the popularity of Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi whose current favorable poll ratings are -- let's see here -- OMG, only about half of Palin's."

I repeat.....

Wake up lefties! We're coming to take our country back. It starts in less than a year. Tick...tock...tick...tock...tick...tock...

Share your Thanksgiving with the military!

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 09:34:34 -0600

I've said it before - Thanksging is two words! There is still time to share your Thanksgiving with members of our military who are far from home.

You see at this time of year there are thousands of men and women who serve in our armed services who are hundreds of miles from home and only have what the military are able to dish up.

I did think about this last year too and I called a Vet I know and asked how I could help. And the answer is really simple.

So if you are interested, call the First Sergeant of your nearest military base and let them know that you have two spare seats at your Thanksgiving table available for any serving military. Really that's it. The First Sergeant will find the right two and set the whole thing up.

This is truly a great way to remember that Thanksgiving is indeed two words. This will certainly help you fulfill the giving part and you will find it extremely rewarding. Oh and it works at Christmas too!!

Certainly you might find it a little awkward for a couple of minutes, but once the ice is broken it is indeed extremely rewarding. There is still time to set this up and so I urge you to contact the First Sergeant of your nearest base today.

Welcome to our future...

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:38:36 -0600

"Simon Conway - the human time machine. We're headed to a place I've already lived through!" If you've listened to me on the air a few times, then you will probably have heard me say that. But what I'm about to tell you, I have not lived through. It does however, come from a place which tends to be a future predictor of what is coming here.

Just like here, the UK has an Environmental Agency. Just like here, the agency is completely out of step with the beliefs and the will of the people.

Right now just two in five of the UK population believe that global warming is caused by human activity.

Despite that, the serious proposal on the table right now is that everyone in the UK should have an annual carbon RATION. If you overspend on it, then you will be fined. If you underspend on it, then you can sell your unused carbon to someone who uses more!

Everyone would be issued with a unique number - "I am not a number - I am a MAN" (if you can tell me where that comes from you win the prize of being really hip!) - and you would have to give your number (the Nazis did something with numbers too - I forget right now) when you were buying stuff that contributes to your carbon footprint. Now of course, this is Government so although it may start off as gas and airline tickets, you know they will see the tax potential and eventually include candy because of course candy takes energy to make and therefore increases your footprint! ARRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Somebody shoot me now!!

The proposal further suggests that just like with your bank account, you are going to be sent a monthly statement (errr...did anyone figure out that takes trees and stamps and gas to deliver?) to "help people keep track of what they are using" according the the UK Telegraph. And here's the kicker. If your account hits zero, then you have to pay to get more credits.

But perhaps the most scary and Orwellian stuff is this. And of course, there has to be a bad guy right? Listen to this OFFICIAL Government quote.

A spokesman for the Agency said the following: "A lot of people who cycle will get money back. It will probably only be bankers and those with extravagant lifestyles who would lose out."

The scheme is part of - wait for it - Britain's "Green New Deal" - again, I am not joking.

It does have it's critics of course. One of those evil Bankers weighed in with the following. She is an economist with the Arbuthnot Banking Group and she told the UK Daily Mail: "This is all about control of the individual and you begin to wonder whether this is what the green agenda has always been about. It is Orwellian. This will be an enormous tax on business."

Blatant Politics - a group in danger

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:41:31 -0600

For the past six months Blatant Politics has consistently ranked in the top 25 of groups on Active Rain (there are around 6,000 groups). It has done so because it has been fairly moderated - and moderated in such a way as to promote lively debate. Part of the reason has been the fairness of features here. There are many moderators of this group, but I can only speak for me. I have featured blogs written from all political perspectives. That's what made this group different. It wasn't right or left.

There is however a new element here which seems to want to destroy this group. A blog was posted yesterday which lead directly to an account suspension. The response from this new element was to feature the offending blog which broke just about every single AR guideline.

THIS IS NOT OUR BACK YARD - IT belongs to AR. And make no mistake - AR can take down this group in a heartbeat. After what I've seen here in the last 24 hours I wouldn't blame them for a second if they chose to do that right now.

Jay Allen is fully aware of my feelings on the matter and is rightly concerned that the number of subscriptions has dropped dramatically in the last 24 hours. Things like featuring a half a sentence does not help.

Blogs which add NOTHING to the conversation - they are not even political! - are also detrimental to the overall health of the group. Those blogs do not even belong in this group. You know who you are - TAKE THEM DOWN or I'll do it for you.

As for me - it's real simple. If I personally don't see a change here in the next 24 hours then I will be gone too. Then you can happily turn it into something that attacks individuals or heaps unopposed praise on the messiah. Knock yourselves out.

Meeting heroes

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:08:17 -0600

Imagine you are 22 years old. You're still a kid really in so many ways. And then your country sends you off to a foreign land to fight for the freedom of those people and the people "back home". Imagine then that you are caught up in a fire fight and then get shot in the head.

Well you see I was at an event last Friday and Saturday. At the same hotel there was also a military banquet. I ended up with sore hands thanking everyone I met for their service to our great nation.

Late in the evening, I stepped outside for some air and there was this young man. He looked extremely young, but was in fact 25. That says more about me than it does about him! He was a sergeant in the Army and was in full dress uniform.

We got to chatting when I noticed an almost perfectly round - about the size of a nickel - circle of baldness towards the back of his head. I asked him if his buddies had played a shaving prank on him. "no", he said. "I was shot in the head" as he proceeded to show me the entry wound on the left side of his temple. The exit wound was the patch of baldness.

He told me he had undergone brain surgery and then I noticed the purple heart bar on his uniform standing proudly at the top of a whole host of other medals.

In some respects he is a lucky guy. He is perfectly normal with no impairment of his functions following his brain surgery. He has in fact been back to combat since his recovery and would go again.

He told me a lot of things in the hour we spent together. He told me about military members of other countries and how they joke with each other all the time "our Army is better than your army". And he also told me how all that stops and how they all come together and respect the traditions of either the religion or the country involved during what they call "angel flights". These are the flights that bring the bodies of our dead heroes back home.

We also talked about Fort Hood. I could see how angry he was about that. I asked him what made him the most angry about it and he said "the excuses". Take note apologists!

It was perhaps one of the most amazing hours of my life. I was honored to be in the presence of this young man and I hope he and I stay in touch. I was also struck by the sense of THIS is exactly the kind of person we want on the wall. Each generation produces more of them and the sacrifice they have all made for our freedom should never go without comment.

HAVE THE KLEENEX READY!

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:01:12 -0600

I can barely contain myself. Barely hold back the tears. You see after those poor Acorn people lost funding - millions of Dollars in funding - someone decided that Congress had breached the Constitution!

Yesterday the Community Organisers - made famous on all kinds of levels - filed suit against the Federal Government. It claimed that the revealing "prostitute" videos where a young couple posing as a Hooker and her pimp were offered all kinds of illegal advice on how to obtain housing and a loan - was used by Congress to "convict" the group and therefore take away its funding.

Anyone need a Kleenex yet? No? Me neither.

Thursday's lawsuit claims that Congress violated the right to due process enshrined in the Fifth Amendment -- declaring the group guilty of a crime and punishing its members without completing an investigation within the Department of Justice or the IRS. "It's not the job of Congress to be the judge, jury, and executioner," said Jules Lobel, an attorney representing the Center for Constitutional Rights. That from Fox News.

So now I guess more Federal tax Dollars will be spent on this group - this time fighting them over OUR money.

We all of course hope that the Federal Government puts up a strong defense. It's just hard to sleep knowing that Acorn is feeling the pinch. Maybe I should send them something? Some "change" perhaps? Maybe that will lead to "hope" for them?

MORE MISTAKES REVEALED ON HASAN INVESTIGATION

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 09:16:46 -0600

As each day passes we learn more about the mistakes made in the investigation of the alleged Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan. I have already removed his rank as I think it is an insult to those who have served us with honor.

It now appears that as early as 2007, red flags were being waved in our faces - and once again (as mentioned in this blog a few days ago) - the "PC mentality" that exists in all branches of our military, seems to have been in the way of someone - ANYONE - doing the right thing with this man.

Back in 2007 Hasan did a powerpoint presentation. According to the Washington Post, this is not what was supposed to happen. It was supposed to be a presentation on a medical topic during his senior year as a psychiatric resident at Walter Reed Medical Center.

Instead, he was put in front of senior military personnel with a 50 slide presentation, and "warned" the officers of "adverse events" if Muslim members of our military were not allowed to be excused war service in the theatres of Iraq and Afghanistan. He wanted them to be classed as "conscientious objectors".

That should have been enough frankly, but there is of course a lot more.

Fox News today on the switch of presentations: Instead, Hasan lectured his supervisors and two dozen mental health staff members on Islam, homicide bombings and threats the military could encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting against other Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. A source who attended the presentation told the paper, "It was really strange. The senior doctors looked really upset."

And this quote from the Post article should have sent shivers down everyone's spine. "It's getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims."

Look at this - morally justify - INCREDIBLE!!

In a slide entitled "Comments", Hasan's last bullet point is truly chilling: "We love death more then [sic] you love life!"

Fox News again: A classmate of Hasan, meanwhile, told FoxNews.com that the warning signs were all there - the justification of homicide bombings; spewing anti-American hatred; efforts to reach out to Al Qaeda - but that the military treated Hasan with kid gloves, even after giving him a poor performance review.

In my mind, the classmate doesn't get a pass either. He should have reported his colleague.

Lt. Col. Val Finnell, Hasan's classmate at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Md., recalled one time when his classmates were giving presentations in an environmental health class on topics like soil and water contamination. "When it was Hasan's turn, he said, he got up in front of the class and began to speak about his chosen topic, "Is the War on Terror a war on Islam?" Finnell says he raised his hand. "I asked the professor, "What does this topic have to do with environmental health? When he was challenged on his views, Hasan became visibly upset. He became sweaty, he was emotional." - Fox News again.

I understand he was a student. I understand he is in the military, but frankly with what was at stake, he should have kept on shouting until somebody listened - especially when you consider the next comments.

Finnell recalled Hasan telling his classmates and professors, "I'm a Muslim first and I hold the Shariah, the Islamic Law, before the United States Constitution."

Take that in again...

"I'm a Muslim first and I hold the Shariah, the Islamic Law, before the United States Constitution."

It is hard for us to believe that someone who has said those words is allowed to continue to be in the service.

Investigations continue. We know that the Administration doesn't want this to be classed as terrorism. We all know what it was.

SPEAK WITHOUT FEAR!

QUESTION WITH BOLDNESS!

STAND UP AMERICA!

TERRORIST LINKS GROW FOR FORT HOOD SHOOTER

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 08:17:13 -0600

As each day passes, more evidence emerges that the terrible Fort Hood shooting could have been stopped. The serious Sunday Telegraph from London is reporting that Nidal Malik Hasan, , worshipped at the same mosque as two of the 9/11 terrorists.

According to the newspaper, Hasan attended services at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Va., in 2001 at the same time as Sept. 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour. Funeral services for Hasan's mother also was held at that mosque.

The FBI is anxiously waiting for Hassan to wake up so they can establish whether or not he knew them.

Meanwhile, it is now being said that US intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Army Major Hasan was attempting to make contact with people associated with al Qaeda. Two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.

And if all of that isn't enough, ABC News has this: Investigators want to know if Hasan maintained contact with a radical mosque leader from Virginia, Anwar al Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen and runs a web site that promotes jihad around the world against the U.S.

In a blog posting early Monday titled "Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing," Awlaki calls Hassan a "hero" and a "man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people."

And now Congress has asked CIA Director Leon Panetta and the Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair to preserve all intelligence files that the agency has on Hassan.

As each day passes it seems that we knew one heck of a lot about Hassan - and did nothing. Now the families of those allegedly shot by him, will have HUGE questions as to why he was allowed access to our brave men and women.

And frankly, not just the families. We should ALL be asking these very serious questions. While the left scrambles to try and convince us that this man was in fact a victim, those of us with our eyes open, are seeing this this was indeed a terrorist attack.

What we call it doesn't matter. What it was most certainly does matter.

It brings us back to the usual questions. Who knew? What did they know? How is it even possible that this could happen on the largest military installation in the world?

Those questions and more need to be answered.

Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with the families of the victims.

Who voted for the Pelosi Bill...

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 07:23:15 -0600

Voting yes were 219 Democrats and 1 Republican.

Voting no were 39 Democrats and 176 Republicans.

X denotes those not voting.

Terrorists kill 12, wound 31 at Texas base

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:07:37 -0600

ENOUGH!!

I've had enough of it. Major Malik Nadal Hasan (according to ABC) opened fire on unarmed soldiers today. If anyone tries to say this was some lone nutjob I'm going to get really mad.

When are we going to do what we need to do? We went more than eight years without a terrorist attack on US soil and now this. The reason? Oh its so simple. We are slowly surrendering and they see an opportunity.

We are the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! DO NOT MESS WITH US! When did we lose THAT message? And what hope that we can get it back with the lilly livered occupants of the White house and Congress right now?

I am sick. I have shed tears today.

I am REALLY angry - and frankly NONE of us should take it anymore.

USA Number One

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:15:31 -0600

Kevin is one of my favorite bloggers. This s one of the best.

Via Kevin Robinson Custom Home Builder (Crownline Home Builders):

Meb is my hero. Did you see him point to his jersey? Proud of it. No. Damn proud of it. No. He pointed to it more than once to get the crowd going. We were cheering for the man in our house. We already knew how he did, but we could not control our jubiliation. He even crossed himself more than once. The man is a Christian. He was so proud to represent America. It was good to see a person who came here from another country, became an American citizen, and repped for us, instead of some guy from some other country come here, use us, and then go win for his other country.

Meb is the real deal. Comes here and wants to become an American. Sure, he is real good at what he does. But, he wants to do what he is good at for America. He becomes a citizen and does it for us. He is even proud of his country. Hell Yeah!

Do you know any libs that like to tell you how the rest of the world hates us? We all know these types. They listen to some mainstream government controlled media, and they get brainwashed into thinking that everyone, everywhere hates us. Yeah right. These are the same people who like to tell us all how we should work to better our country, mostly by paying huge taxes, that they sure as hell are not going to. The same poets, who frequent coffee houses, and like to explain, while wearing their cardigans and sounding quite intellectual, that all of us NASCAR spectators, are nothing but a bunch of hillbillies. They, the elite, even though we can run circles around them in any kind of brain game, except name that newspaper columnist, simply have no clue. They listen to Pearl Jam and Green Day tell us how bad our country is. How every single person from every country in the world hates us. Victims of the public school system I guess. Maybe they should listen to Brooks and Dunn sing "Only in America".

Who the heck would want to be an American? Meb Keflizighi. I love the guy.

THE INSANITY OF CONGRESS (not covered under Government health care)

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:45:20 -0600

It's 1,990 pages long. It weighs in at more than 19 pounds. It has 400,000 words and it is costed out at more than $2.4m A WORD! And even if you can convince your Representative to actually read it, they have NO CHANCE of actually understanding it as you can see from this example:

"(a) Outpatient Hospitals - (1) In General - Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended - (A) in the first sentence - (i) by inserting "(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)" after "1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting "(but not below 0)" after "reduced"; and (B) in the second sentence, by inserting "and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II)".

And in my continuing efforts to help you, that garbage is all about "incorporating productivity improvements into market basket updates that do not already incorporate such improvements" - I hope that was helpful.

But the thing you MUST remember is that Nancy Pelosi apparently has the votes to get it through the House. ONLY YOU have the power to stop it.

So having looked at a number of political websites last night and this morning I am able to garner the following.

1. You can't find the word "doctor" in there apart from paragraphs dealing with qualifications.

2. The so-called "death panel" measure is still there.

3. Public funding of abortion still survives.

This has to be a combined effort of various news organisations because as I said, it weighs in at 19 pounds and it stands more than nine inches tall. Fox News found this: Among the industries targeted in the bill are medical device makers - one of the few that failed to cut an early behind-the-scenes deal with Obama and Democrats to help pay for an overhaul. The House added $20 billion in taxes on sales of medical devices like artificial hips and heart stents to the legislation Democratic leaders unveiled Thursday.

The Bill also includes dramatic cuts in pay for doctors - something that we really can't understand the true effects of until you actually sit down and talk to a doctor! Recently when filling in on 540 WFLA, I had Orlando Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr Steven Weber on the show. Dr Weber is not politically active; does not represent any group and frankly before he appeared as a guest, I really didn't know what he thought. BUT he made it very clear that he would find it extremely difficult "to keep the lights on" in his practise which employs some 150 medical professionals.

Meanwhile, Breitbart garnered Republican reaction: "Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., head of the Republican Study Committee, issued a statement saying Democrats had produced a "government takeover that will limit choice, competition and innovation in health care while increasing costs and decreasing quality." He said the measure would kill jobs, raise taxes and inflict cuts on a program of private Medicare that provides benefits to millions of seniors. "

Democrats are trying to say the Bill hasn't changed much, but that is clearly not true. There's an eight page document listing all the changes. Line after line after line. Or perhaps lie after lie after lie!

I have said it before - both in these pages and on the air - health care needs some reform. It does NOT need a Government take over! I grew up with Government run health care. I genuinely believe my own dad, who died seven years ago last week (10/29) (still miss you Dad), was a victim of socialized medicine.

You know what needs to be done and so I'm not going to remind you. Suffice to say that it is EXTREMELY important.

We'll leave the last word to a Texan. They have a way of bringing things into focus. Republican Rep. Joe Barton said this: "The bill is about four reams of paper that add up to the American public getting reamed."

Government tries to take down US Marine

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:51:19 -0500

This is Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani. For more than 20 years, the Colonel has had your back. He's had your back three different times in Iraq including the second battle of Fallujah; once in the first Persian Gulf War and has also served in Panama.

It has been said by his superiors that Col Chessani has unlimited potential and value to the Marine Corps. That he has demonstrated moral courage and that he is a superb leader.

And now on December 1, 2009 he is facing a Military Board of Inquiry (BOI) to figure out if he is guilty of misconduct and should be demoted in rank. All this because of the "Haditha Massacre" - a "massacre" that quite literally never happened.

The question must be asked. Why is the Government going after this fine Marine Officer? Someone who represents the very best America has to offer? And why are they doing it on a trumped up charge? What is the purpose of trying to destroy this truly great American hero?

Let's take a step back first. Almost four years ago to the day (November 19, 2005) a Marine convoy was moving through Haditha in Iraq - a terrorist stronghold. A roadside bomb exploded and the convoy took casualties. One United States Marine dead and two more seriously injured when the bomb went off under a Humvee. Gunfire directed at the Marines started immediately from the ambushing insurgents who were holed up in nearby civilian-occupied home.

The officer at the scene ordered four Marines - at great risk to themselves - to storm those homes from where the terrorists were firing. What happened next was a house-by-house, room-by-room battle in which nine terrorists were killed. There were also 15 civilian casualties who might have been shot by the Marines or the terrorists or a combination of the two. Obviously the death of civilians is always terrible - but not as common an occurrence as some people might think.

The bottom line here is that the colonel IMMEDIATELY reported those 15 deaths to his superiors. In fact the Pentagon had his battlefront report within 24 hours. NOT A SINGLE superior officer - including generals - thought it unusual. NOT ONE OF THEM suggested an investigation. In fact those officers went so far as to commend Lt Col Chessani for a job well done.

Then along came Time Magazine. MASSACRE they screamed. John Murtha jumped on the bandwagon accusing the Marines of cold blooded murder - even saying there was no firefight! He said the Marines were stressed from being in country for too long.

The Liberals went nuts. Our brave military were torturers; murderers; rapists - and of course, responsible for the "Massacre at Haditha" - that has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

The largest investigation in the history of the NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Services) .........

Take that in again!!! - The largest investigation in the history of the NCIS including 65 full time agents went on a year-long, multi-million Dollar digging trip - targeting the Colonel and his four enlisted men.

The Government has LOST at every stage of the criminal process. The four marines have been cleared. At one point they were charging Lt Col Chessani criminally. The Government's case? He did not file the proper paperwork. Had he been convicted he would have faced two and a half years in prison!!

One of the military judges who heard testimony in the case, had the following to say about the Government's evidence and pursuit of this national hero.

"To believe the government version of facts is to disregard clear and convincing evidence to the contrary and sets a dangerous precedent that, in my opinion, may encourage others to bear false witness against Marines as a tactic to erode public support of the Marine Corps and mission in Iraq. Even more dangerous is the potential that a Marine may hesitate at the critical moment when facing the enemy..." - Military Judge, LtCol Paul Ware, USMC

So now he faces this BOI. There are no rules of evidence as we understand them. No cross examination; no subpoena of witnesses. The Government merely has to prove misconduct by a preponderance of the evidence - not beyond a reasonable doubt. The Board could demote him or force him to retire. He could lose his retirement and health benefits for himself and his family.

And at the end of the day, the Government is charging him with failing to report a criminal incident which EVERYONE now understands DID NOT TAKE PLACE!

On Monday of this week Brian Rooney - one of the owners of the Pitsburg Steelers and a Marine Reserve Major himself - was my guest while I was filling in on 540 WFLA. It's a fascinating interview and you can here it BY CLICKING HERE - the top of Hour Two on 10/26/09.

Brian is one of the attorneys representing this Marine through the non-profit Thomas More Law Center. They are doing it for free. They will examine thousands of pages of reports; personally interview witnesses and travel the 2,000 miles to the BOI in California - an event that is expected to last for weeks.

Please check out their website and see if you can help. They are all that is standing between this Marine and Governmental crucifixion! - http://www.thomasmore.org/

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!

Make sure Lt Col Chessani understands just how much we Patriots get it!

HONESTY FROM A GLOBAL WARMING NUT

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:00:09 -0500

The thing about those who keep telling us in real "Flash Gordon" style, that we only have a month and a half to save the planet, is that they are - at best - economical with the truth.

You see if you REALLY believe that we are destroying the planet (just so we are clear, I do not!), then getting behind the wheel of a Prius or buying carbon offsets from your own company while you move swiftly around the world in a private jet, is truly not the problem.

The problem is MUCH more basic than that... if you are a true believer that is.

The problem is in fact a four letter word...

MEAT!

You see if we are destroying Planet earth, then by FAR the biggest culprits are in fact cows. Look at this from The Times of London:

Direct emissions of methane from cows and pigs is a significant source of greenhouse gases. Methane is 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas.

WOW! - 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide??

So the first question you need to ask the person screaming at you for driving around in your SUV is if they want to discuss the whole thing over a burger somewhere... because if they do, then they are a FAR bigger problem to the atmosphere - in all kinds of ways! - than you and your SUV.

In an interview with The Times, Lord Stern of Brentford said: "Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better."

Stern is one of the worlds' leading authorities on Global Warming. And it really does come down to this. If you are serious that we are destroying the planet then two things need to happen.

1. Turn veggie. If I catch you so much as sniffing at a well grilled burger or steak while a guest at my home, we are going to have a problem.

2. When exactly should the whole cow and pig genocide thing start? Oh and of course, how exactly are we going to do that? Hunt them from helicopters? Round them up as usual and send them to the slaughter house, but burn all the meat? (hang 0n - carbon dioxide - we better bury them in a land fill!).

I do have some words of praise for this Lord. He is being honest. If you accept the premise that global warming is produced by the gasses we pump into the atmosphere, then surely we need to take on this huge producer of those gasses?

Oh and one final thing - Stern - who I did say was honest - eats MEAT!!! He said so in the Times!!

Something to think about. . .

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 21:38:08 -0500

This is really disturbing. Please understand that I am not suggesting you base your decision on whether or not to have a flu shot, but certainly it is something I'm sure no one gave any thought to.

Remembering our fallen heroes

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 08:35:57 -0500

"At approximately 0622 on Sunday, 23 Oct. 1983, the Battalion Landing Team headquarters building in the Marine Amphibious Unit compound at Beirut International Airport was destroyed by a terrorist bomb. The catastrophic attack took the lives of 241 Marines, sailors and soldiers and wounded more than 100 others." - So started the Department of Defense Commission Report on the event which started the terrorist war against the United States - and make no mistake, we are in a war.

All that has changed since the cowards sprung their murderous surprise on sleeping Marines is apparently our desire to win this war. I'm not sure that the lack of desire exists in the people, but it most certainly appears to be present in our leaders.

But perhaps today and tomorrow are not the days when we should be concentrating on that. Today and tomorrow we should remember how we felt back in 1983. Those of you not old enough to remember will not understand the level of shock than ran through this country and the rest of the world. This was the 9-11 of the 20th century.

A few days after the attack, President Ronald Reagan addressed the nation. He ended his comments as follows: "They were not afraid to stand up for their country or, no matter how difficult and slow the journey might be, to give to others that last, best hope of a better future. We cannot and will not dishonor them now and the sacrifices they've made by failing to remain as faithful to the cause of freedom and the pursuit of peace as they have been. I will not ask you to pray for the dead, because they're safe in God's loving arms and beyond need of our prayers. I would like to ask you all - wherever you may be in this blessed land - to pray for these wounded young men and to pray for the bereaved families of those who gave their lives for our freedom.

And then in 1985, President Reagan said this: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." My most prized possession is a framed Stars and Stripes flown in my honor at Camp Fellujah in Iraq. This honor was given to me by Master Sergeant of Marines, William "Spanky" Gibson. It is the first thing you see when you walk into my home. Oh Spanky is the first ever serving member of any branch of our military to serve in a combat zone having had an above the knee amputation. He is a volunteer. Somehow he chose to honor me.

We patriots will never forget the sacrifices that are made in our name and in the name of freedom every day.

Today and tomorrow we honor all who have sacrificed in the name of our freedom. Here are the names - courtesy of The White House Commission on Remembrance

Three million pink slips sent to Congress!

Simon Conway (Picket Fence Realty) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 07:19:13 -0500

As I write this at 8am on Tuesday 20 October, 2009, some THREE MILLION pink slips have been sent to members of Congress individually addressed, personalized with senders name and address and delivered to all members of Congress by Fed Ex.

Three million after just THREE WEEKS since the campaign started.

The idea was conceived by Janet Porter of Faith2Action and a WND weekly columnist. "They didn't listen to the Tea Parties and the Town Halls; maybe they'll start listening when they're tripping over boxes of Pink Slips and stacking them from floor to ceiling!" she said

"We need to erect a firewall of pink slips before they vote to take our freedoms, our free enterprise, and our very lives with socialized medicine.".

Of course with 2010 approaching, members of the House in particular are looking towards the election - as usual the top priority! This innovative campaign will hopefully have the effect of reminding exactly who they work for!

If you want to be a part of it, just follow the links provided. It is actually a cheap way of sending a very powerful message due to the economies of scale - and Fed Ex WILL deliver.

More from Janet Porter: "There is a revolution brewing across this country," she said. "People are angry about losing their country and they are ready for action. This campaign is just the latest evidence."

Send your pink slips to Congress now

Hey You!

More great stuff from one of my favorite bloggers...

Via Kevin Robinson Custom Home Builder (Crownline Home Builders):

Yeah you! I am talking to you! What are you going to do about this mess? Got any ideas?

Damn dude, for something like a year, all I heard from you was how the current guy was not doing the job right, and how your competitor would not be able to do the job. You talked like you were the guy. You had this whole thing figured out and were going to fix the problem.

Man, you are no different than a bad used car salesman. Promise that the thing will run right and if it does not, merely bring it back. When we try to bring it back, you are not there anymore. You lied.

Remember all of those jobs you were going to create? It was no big deal for a smart educated man like yourself. Lately it seems like you just talk about hopefully paying the unemployed a few more bucks. No new jobs so far. All talk.

Have you seen all of the business closing up lately? Probably not. you are too damn busy keeping a bunch of elitist Europeans digging you. Good for you, bad for us. Man, listen up.

Here in our country there are people who needs jobs. Lots of them. When you were the outsider trying to get the job, you were all answers. All kinds of new jobs. Where are they? Throwing money around as if we have it. Government printing out money and IOU's like it is Monopoly money. Like it is a game. It ain't no game.

The value of our dollar is a worldwide joke. Our businesses are closing and our citizens are out of work. Everything that you are doing is further eroding our dollar. In case you don't know, as our dollar gets to be worth less, our country gets to be worth less. Economics man. High finance. This aint community organizing anymore. This is the bigs man. See, as a leader you are supposed to actually do something to solve the problem. Stop going around like some movie star, collecting awards and presenting Olympic proposals. None of that will get jobs for our people. Big talk = no action. To anyone who is paying attention, you are looking like a guy who is hell bent on not solving the problem. You sure do appear to be working on destroying our great country and turning us into a 3rd world country. Talk is cheap, but actions speak volumes, and your actions ain't good for America.

Mr. President, you need to start supporting capitalism. It works. Stop making government bigger. I know that you have some pie in the sky, childhood dream that socialism works, but it does not. Dude, I was a kid once and thought utopia sounded great, but then I grew up and saw that it is nothing but a fantasy. Everyone liked the whole "steal from the rich, give to the poor" thing as kids, but once they start working, see that it is for suckers.

Here is a primer for you. Unemployed equals less spending. Less spending equals less employment. Less employment means less jobs. Do you see. Vicious circle. Oh, and by the way, it also means less tax revenue. I should not even have to explain this to you.

I respect the office that you hold, and for that reason I will address you as President. But, I am now very sure that you are not qualified for this job. You fabricated your resume, and are in over your head. Please step aside while we still have a country for you to pretend to lead.

And now for something REALLY spooky!

You will most certainly not have heard yet, that at the end of October - on Halloween to be exact - Federal funding of Acorn returns.

You see the vote in Congress to defund the organisation actually only achieved that for one month. Congress is trying to put one over on you.

YOU MUST CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES!

I know how time consuming it is. I know how frustrating it is when you actually get through to some assistant who couldn't care less what you say, but I also know how effective it is. These people do not get the calls many people think they get. You cannot leave it up to someone else to write the letter, send the e-mail or pick up the phone.

YOU HAVE TO STAND UP AMERICA!

It was actually Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann - serving the 6th District of Minnesota - who revealed the ticking clock for Acorn. Remember - this is YOUR money they are spending. Call them! Make them understand who they work for. Do not allow Acorn to get refunded on your watch. And do it today. Then do it again tomorrow and the next day. And then do it all again starting on Monday.
