Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

Now where was I?

For sure I've not been blogging. I injured my back last week and having real difficulty typing on a computer. Getting better, but it'll be the weekend before I babble, I mean blog, again.

Speaking of idiotic politicians

Also on OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web (last item),

Ken Corley, mayor of Brazoria, Texas, "wants offensive use of the 'n-word' to be punishable by a fine of up to $500 in his town," reports the Houston Chronicle:

"It's not a particular problem in Brazoria," Corley said, "but it's a national problem." Corley said he got the idea while watching two black ministers talking on television about how offensive that word is. "I just think it would be great if this little town of Brazoria, with 2,800 people, leads the way in fighting against this offensive language," said Corley.

The report adds that "at least one legal expert said Monday that such an ordinance may not stand up in court." What would we do without at least one legal expert? And the mayor also says, in the Chronicle's words, that "the ordinance would allow the word to be used as a friendly greeting." With friends like these . . .

So this genius of a mayor thinks you can tell the difference between an offensive use of a word and a friendly use. Enforcing this would be a legal nightmare. But what does the mayor care...I’m sure he’s talented enough to ‘discriminate’ how the ‘n-word’ is used. You can trust him.

You know, a politician is one of very few professions that don’t require any particular talents. Just certain age and residency limitations.

So it’s obvious that any dumbf**k can be mayor in his town. And of course I mean that in the friendliest use.

Why I voted for Katherine Harris?

Answer: Senator Bill Nelson (D, FL). The D is for …, well nevermind.

Through the OpinionJournal’s Best of the Web post (first item) on that treasonous Senate committee vote:

“Schumer, it should be noted, voted for the Iraq war in October 2002. So did five of the 12 Foreign Relations Committee members who backed the resolution yesterday: Joe Biden (D., Del.), Chris Dodd (D., Conn.), John Kerry (D., Mass.), Bill Nelson (D., Fla.) and Chuck Hagel (R., Neb.).


Yes, I’ve known that it was right to vote for every Republican I could. I knew Nelson would remain a Democrat long after he forgot to be a patriot. Look for him to do even more to harm to our nation over the next six years.

(But I’ve moved on!)

Religion of Peace, My Ass! (Part 15)

This through Antimedia. There is no moderate 'Religion of Peace' my friends.

Only terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.

But perhaps I overstate.

Been visiting

my Mother for a few days. That's why I've been posting even less than usual. Will be back as soon as I catch up on my work. For some reason, you can take days off, but the work doesn't. Odd, isn't it?
