The F***ing Bird Feeder

Happy 234th Birthday Marines

As some of you are aware my son in-law is a GySgt in the Marine Corp. Currently on his way home from another tour of duty, this time in Afghanistan. He is a member of the world famous Vipers. Unfortunately the crash that occurred on October 25 between two Helos that cost the lives of four of our finest also were member of the Viper family. It is with great pleasure that I wish all Marines a happy birthday and send out a special thank you to my son in-law and my daughter for all that they do.

1775: Founding of the Marine Corps

A LEGACY IS BORN

During the American Revolution, many important political discussions took place in the inns and taverns of Philadelphia, including the founding of the Marine Corps.

A committee of the Continental Congress met at Tun Tavern to draft a resolution calling for two battalions of Marines able to fight for independence at sea and on shore.

The resolution was approved on November 10, 1775, officially forming the Continental Marines.

As the first order of business, Samuel Nicholas became Commandant of the newly formed Marines. Tun Tavern’s owner and popular patriot, Robert Mullan, became his first captain and recruiter. They began gathering support and were ready for action by early 1776.

Each year, the Marine Corps marks November 10th with a celebration of the brave spirit which compelled these men and thousands since to defend our country as United States Marines.

Juxtaposition Commander in Chief #43 & #44

I had just finished blogging about a Texas patriot Anita Ross when I came upon this revelation. George and Babara Bush secretly visit Ft Hood, via Fox News here, while Obama heads to camp David via Fox News here.

Thank God For Bloggers!

Since the presidential campaign started two years ago I became aware of blogs. I started this one. If you don't look to good blogs, and I have some my favorites linked here on the right side bar, then you will not be fully informed. Newsworthy news will travel incredibly fast in the blogosphere. This story is one that is making the rounds right now, as it should.

Shame on the White House and it's staff! It took the tenacity of one outraged women to get the flags at our nations capitol lowered to half mast in honor of the men and women slaughtered at the hand of a Muslim extremest at Ft Hood. Thank you Mrs. Ross, I wonder who Anita Ross might be related to.....? Read the whole story here.

Army recommends 'birther' for promotion

Although this article is not written in a good light for the 1st LT Easterling, I found it very telling about the now widespread knowledge once only known to a "fringe" group called "birthers". A group that I have been a proud member of since the start of this blog.

From the Examiner.com Boston

In a stunning display of latent disrespect for President Barack Obama and a complete disregard for the good order and discipline of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Army has recommended "birther", 1LT Scott Easterling for promotion. In February of this year, the Tennessee native joined forces with "birther" attorney Orly Taitz and wrote a widely-reported letter calling President Obama a "usurper" and "impostor" because he did not believe the President was a natural-born citizen. At the time, many believed that 1LT Easterling had jeopardized his career and possibly his freedom for violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) which clearly prohibits publicly insulting the integrity of the President of the United States; instead he got an "administrative reprimand", also known as a slap on the wrist.

Sesame Street's Big Bird With a Big Question..

I certainly didn't see the episode but apparently this is real. Big Bird asked Michelle Obama "Maybe you’re here to finally show us your husband’s United States birth certificate", Michelle's says no, and then Big Bird say's "That's because you can't!" I need to investigate this further but watch the video. It starts slow but it is worth it.

Apparently this is a parody made to be funny. So laughing at the fact that one can usurp the office of the President is now OK?

The DC Rally From The Ground

Like most of the people I know taking the time to travel anywhere can be a monumental task. Taking the time to travel to DC to march in protest of our government takes even more of an effort, especially in terms of a financial effort. In these times of economic downturn, mass unemployment, and rising taxes, it is very hard to muster the necessary time and funds to make a trip like millions did this past Saturday, September 12, 2009. I am not going to point out in detail the mis-representation of the numbers of people that attended by various media outlets because it is a moot point. My wife and I were there and we along with the other two million people know how many people were there. And those two million people will tell their friends and relatives, about another 6-8 million people, just how many people were there. So you in the MSM can keep reporting to the couch potatoes of this country. We don't need or want those people in our cause anyway.

I would like to start by describing the people we saw, meet, and conversed with. From our first encounter with people at the hotel on Friday evening to the time we left on Saturday afternoon there was an obvious commonality. We are ordinary people of many stripes and political origins, but all held the same theme in describing the reason for making this trek to DC, and many came from as far away as Hawaii and Alaska. It is my understanding that every state was represented buy at least one person. An incredible circumstance. We all have reached a point where We The People have had enough.

We stayed at the Courtyard about 2 miles from the starting point. We decided to walk there so at 8:00am we started our journey. It was an interesting walk. We were asked by a guy for some money so he could buy breakfast. He was wearing new sneakers, jeans, a printed sweat shirt, iPod, and did not smell and looked clean. I said "ask the guy in the white house" and kept on moving. There are quit a few homeless in the area but he was not one of them.

My camera was broken and so I was only able to get few shots using my cheap cell phone. The march started about 2 hours early as the capitol police were concerned as the back up for the march started to roll back to the white house. So at about 9:30am they started to march down Pennsylvania Avenue. That is my wife Janet's cheek. As you can see the people that were there just all sorts of normal folk. The walk to the capitol was approximately 2 miles. We chanted all kinds of stuff like "U S A U S A" "Can you hear us now" & "Throw the bums out" and more. We sang the Battle Hymn and the Star Spangled Banner. Upon arrival at the steps of the capitol they, the capitol police, were directing everyone to the north lawn. We stayed at the entrance to sit on a ledge adjacent to the stairs to rest. Our backs and legs were sore and sitting on the ground was not an option. The stage was set at the top of the north lawn. They made an announcement that we could not gather at the mall across the street until both the north and south lawns were full. It was clear to me that they had relegated these two areas for the rally. It didn't take long for those two areas to fill up as the people just kept coming. When we left at 2PM people were still coming in! The mall was just a sea of people. The police blockades had been pushed further back as the crowd grew. To the west we were shoulder to shoulder all the way to 3rd St SW. We walked out to get a bite along Independence Ave by 4th St. at about noon. The walk back past the mall and reflecting pool and out to 1st St SW took over an hour!

The signs were just incredible. There were no two signs, except a few pre-printed commercially made ones, that were the same. There were of course the "Where's The Birth Certificate" signs and few clever acronyms for ACORN.

Part of the march went by this building that was labeled NEWSHISTORY and when I looked up and realized what the inscription was on the front of this building for all to see just a few steps from the Capitol Pub was the 1st amendment to the Constitution.
So many thoughts raced through my mind when I saw that, one of which is "our representatives have to see this everyday!!" I was swept over with anger and sadness at the same time.
This parting shot was taken from Constitution Way as we were leaving. That is the north edge of the crowd.



Some random shots...





Update: Amy Beth, on the right, emailed this picture of Orly Taitz with me in the back ground in the red shirt...Thank You Amy! I did introduce myself and shook her hand and asked God to bless her.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll

Mark this day in your mental calender of events. As you look at this chart and do notice the trend you have to ask how long can he sustain these ever increasing dis-approval rating. On Thursday he announced he would speak on Tuesday the 8th to children in schools all across the country. By Friday, the very next day, the outcry was just astounding and today there are hundreds of school districts that have decided not to carry the speech.

Tuesday is also the day when a judge will rule on a motion for discovery in a highly publicized eligibility case, Keyes et all V Obama, Soetoro at all brought by Dr. Orly Taitz in Federal court in Santa Anna CA. Fox News announced that they will be in the courthouse covering the case.

Fox News along with Glen Beck will be covering and promoting the September 12 march on Washington DC by people not happy with this administration and have great concern for the very existence of this country, or at least in a form that we have fought for over the years. Yours truly will be attending.

WARNING-Does the White House Have a Secret Plan to Collect Your Personal Internet Info ?

I read this story at Atlas Shrugs and from where Pamela got it from here YID With LID, and wasn't too alarmed until I went back to Atlas Shrugs and she had an update. She received a warning of a certificate to be installed and curiously clicked on "View Certificate" and below is what she got. This is most disturbing. Click on the image to read what the purpose of the certificate is for.



Couple that with this Glen Beck video of a few weeks ago.




And the official spokes person Gibb is speechless about how people all of sudden are receiving unsolicited emails.



Now you can see if you already have one of these certificates installed on your computer.

IE users go to "Tools" "Internet Options" "Content" and then choose "Intermediate Certification Authorities"

FireFox users go to "Tools" "Options" "Advanced" and then choose "View Certificates"

Update: WND is also covering the story and has a view of the "Cookies" the whitehouse.gov are also installing.

It would be nice if you find one to report back here with a comment.
