I realize that while I am very likely the last human being...on the entire planet to do so...this past weekend I watched the movie Avatar. It’s not that I didn’t want to see it…..it’s more that I never got around to it, and now I know why. I’m pretty sure that it was my “inner-conservative voice” speaking to me….saying “Don’t watch this movie….because it will only piss you off”…..And, as usual, my “inner-conservative voice” was correct.
Now before you take off your shoe and come after me for speaking against the highest grossing movie in the history of the world….allow me to explain. But before I explain....I have to admit that the CGI was spectacular (that would be the Computer Generated Imagery…not the Clinton Global Initiative).....but honestly, that’s where any good stuff kind of ended for me. I am not usually one to “read” hidden agendas into movies. I can usually watch a movie…and take it for what it is supposed to be…..entertainment. But with Avatar…I couldn’t do it. The liberal agenda in this movie was about as subtle as a Jeremiah Wright speech at a Louis Farrakhan rally…..Allow me to elaborate…
First of all, let’s look at the main characters……
You have the Greedy Evil Corporate Guy…...This is the guy who wanted to take a natural resource…called “unobtainium” (no kidding….that was the name of the valuable natural resource) away from the inhabitants of Pandora (called “Na’vi”)...at ANY cost. His evil capitalistic agenda was obviously ONLY about the money....and if that meant killing everyone who lived on Pandora, in order to get it.....then so be it. It was that mindset of...if they won’t give it to us willingly...then we will send in the military to take it. (The only thing missing at this point in the movie, was the mention of Haliburton)
Then there was the Heartless Military Leader…..He of course, was conspiring with the Greedy Evil Corporate Guy….to steal the “unobtainium” from the Na’vi. Heartless Military Leader even made the statement “We will fight terror with terror”…..AND....“Our only security lies in preemptive attack” (The only thing missing during his statement was possibly a “Mission Accomplished” banner hanging behind him). Although I have never served in the military…..I was extremely insulted at this movie's portrayal those in the military….as nothing more than mindless killing machines.
Of course no good liberal movie would complete without a wide array of blatant “tree huggers”. This movie….being a good liberal movie….had more than its share….so we will just refer to this group of characters as the Blatant Tree Huggers. The Blatant Tree Huggers were primarily scientists, who although they were hired by the Greedy Evil Corporate Guy, to “win the hearts and minds of the natives” (again, I did NOT make that up)….they were more concerned about the forest and the sprits that lived in the trees…..than the evil intentions of their employer. (and I say “good for them…who needs those evil capitalists anyway?”)….Here are some lovely quotes from the Blatant Tree Huggers…..”You need to wake up, Parker…..The wealth of this world isn't in the ground….it's all around us….The Na'vi know that, and they're fighting to defend it….If you want to share this world with them, YOU need to understand THEM.” While that certainly brought tears to my eyes….this next one caused me to weep uncontrollably. This is a human speaking to a Na’vi……”See the world we come from….there's no green there. They've killed their mother, and they're going to do the same thing here.” (As that was being said, I was waiting for the guy to pull a picture out of his wallet of Al Gore standing on a melting iceberg….with a baby polar bear in one hand…..and his “second chakra” in the other)
If you are thinking to yourself…..”Well that certainly seems to have all of the elements of a good movie”…..then let me say…..”You really need to get out more often”…..But let me also say….”Wait....There’s more !!!"
While a really good liberal movie would unashamedly bash Christianity…..this one did not. However as a saving grace (no pun intended….ok maybe a little pun intended)….it did lean heavily toward Pantheistic Theology. (A belief system where there is not an actual “God”….rather a system where God and nature are “one”) While Pantheistic Theology is not quite as distanced from Christianity as Paganism….it suffices for Avatar. After all, does it get any better than people holding hands, chanting and praying in the forest…..to the sprits of their ancestors who now live in the “tree of souls”?....I think not.
As I watched this movie….I kept thinking “Why was this movie, the highest grossing movie of all time?”. Then it hit me that the same people who absolutely loved and adored this movie….were probably the same people who loved and adored....and voted for and elected...Barack Obama, as the President of the United States…..And why not?…..After all, the movie Avatar……and Barack Obama’s qualifications to be President….are both based on the same thing….pure fantasy. Then Again….That’s Just Me

Of Amphibians And Anchor Babies……………….
An “Anchor Baby” is defined as a child who is born in the United States to a parent/parents who is/are here illegally…..thereby making that child a “legal citizen” based solely on the geographic location of the birth.
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was adopted July 9th, 1868…….Section 1 of that amendment reads as follows:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”
While many people today have twisted the meaning of this amendment in order to apply it to immigration issues…..nothing could be farther from the truth (well, except that Barack Obama really cares about the people of the United States….but that’s another day’s topic). This amendment was originally adopted as a post-Civil War Reconstruction Amendment. One of the major clauses of this amendment provides a broad definition of citizenship that overruled the decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857)……which held that blacks could not be citizens of the United States. THAT was the purpose of this amendment…..it was NOT to be used as justification for ILLEGAL immigration. In fact, when this amendment was ratified in 1868……the United States did not limit immigration. With that in mind….how can we paint with such a WIDE brush as to use it today to include people who are here ILLEGALLY? Doesn’t “intent” of a law mean anything today?
On more than one occasion….the SCOTUS has ruled that the geographic location (within the United States) of the birth of a child…….does not determine the child’s citizenship…..rather, that it is the status of the parents, that is crucial in determining the citizenship of the child. The court has stated that in order for a child to qualify for citizenship….the parents must owe “direct and immediate allegiance” to the United States….and be “completely subject” to it’s jurisdiction. (which is kind of hard to do if you broke several laws to get here and THUS….you’re here ILLEGALLY) In other words….for a child to be a citizen…..the parents must be citizens. (See the 1884 “Elk v.Wilkins” case….. the 1889 “Wong Kim Ark” Supreme Court ruling…..and “The Citizens Act of 1924” [codified in 8USCSß1401])
Right about now someone is saying (in a VERY high-pitched and annoying voice)….”Yeah, but you’re not an attorney”……..To which I would say….”Yeah you’re right….I sell used cars…and that puts me several categories above attorneys in the ‘dirt-ball’ rankings”……So let’s set aside all of the legal “mumbo-jumbo” and use common sense……..
In spite of the fact that the 14th amendment was NOT put in place with regard to ILLEGAL immigration OR "Anchor Babies" (or amphibians either, for that matter)......there still are a lot of people who support ILLEGAL immigration and the “Anchor Baby” concept……Of course these are usually the same people who chain themselves to a tree in order to protest a construction project….out of concern that the “16-toed-Argentinian-wartless-tree-frog” might become extinct. They want people to look at them admiringly….sigh….and say….”oh...look at them….they really care about helpless animals and babies….aren’t they great?” Many of them make the argument that the baby ...in this ILLEGAL immigration scenario....cant help what the parent has done….so why should the baby be penalized…..after all….it's just a baby. Of course a LOT of these same people are pro-abortion…..so that kind of destroys the whole “loving the babies” argument. (Maybe they just love ILLEGAL babies) Either way, it’s extremely two-faced (maybe even three-faced) to support people breaking our laws in order to get into the country, make a stand to save amphibians…….and then support the killing of babies through abortion….all because you say abortion is the “mother’s choice”……(and I guess THAT baby deserved to be penalized….right?)
This next paragraph is for anyone who still supports the concept of “Anchor Babies”…….Let me make sure I have the details correct….You are saying that it’s ok for a woman to break the laws of the U.S. by sneaking into the country ILLEGALLY……then once she’s here, all she has to do is plop out a baby…..and THAT in and of itself makes the baby a citizen of the United States….and now she and the baby are entitled to hospital care and a lifetime of welfare and health care at the expense of the taxpayers of the United States…..did I get that right? If you said yes….then consider this…..If that same woman broke into your house….(you know knocked out a window and crawled into your living room)….and had that SAME baby…..would you be ok with personally supporting she and her baby for the next 20 years or so?.....If not…..then my opinion is that you should just shut up….and stop volunteering MY tax dollars to do just that. Then Again….That’s Just Me

Innocent Until Proven Guilty…..Stupid Until Proven Otherwise……..
Charlie Rangel……......Just the mention of his name is probably enough for me to have lost 8 or 9 readers……so to the other 3 of you who are still reading, let me say "Thank you". Charlie’s been making a lot of news recently….particularly since multiple charges of ethics violations have been brought against him by his fellow congress-people. (Which could possibly be the ultimate example of “pots calling a kettle black”) Most of the charges against Charlie, primarily deal with personal finance disclosures and paying taxes.....and if Charlie was just another run-of-the-mill crooked Congressman, that in and of itself, would be bad enough......but that's not the case....because he is the former chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. (Just in case you were wondering what this committee does, I looked it up, so you wouldn't have to) The following paragraph is from their web site http://waysandmeans.house.gov/ ....and it details one of the specific responsibilities of that committee……
“(1) Federal revenue measures generally.--The Committee on Ways and Means has the responsibility for raising the revenue required to finance the Federal Government. This includes individual and corporate income taxes, excise taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes.”
That means that Charlie Rangel was the chairman of a committee, whose primary responsibility was that of writing tax laws.…….Specifically laws applicable to “individual and corporate income taxes”. Now…one would think that if you are on the committee that is in charge of tax issues….that you would probably want to make sure that YOUR taxes were done in a correct manner…..right? Well, not if you’re Charlie Rangel. The “ethics violations” that have been brought against him are related, in part, to taxes that he didn’t pay, and assets that he didn't disclose. Of course in his defense, Charlie has said that he “made some mistakes”. Ok Charlie….I’ll bite….what were the "mistakes"?
Well first of all, there was that villa in the Dominican Republic…..you know the one that’s just like the one YOU own there……well, except on his….he “forgot” to report $75,000 in rental income. (that's easy enough to do….). It also seems that the interest charges on the loan, that was used to purchase the villa…..were waived. (which again, I have creditors calling me ALL the time, asking if they can waive interest charges on loans that I have….so that’s no big deal either). In addition to those minor details, it seems that Charlie also “forgot” to disclose somewhere between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in assets….much of which was in his checking account. (AGAIN….before you cast any stones….you ALL know that you have mis-figured your checkbook…..maybe not to the tune of a million dollars…..but certain 7 or 8 hundred thousand dollars.) It seems that in addition to those teensie little mistakes.....Charlie had previously stated that his net worth was only around a million dollars…..and then after these new details were discovered…..it’s STILL only around 2 million dollars…..so my question is "what’s the big deal?" Of course some of those nasty Republicans are also complaining because of a few letters that Charlie sent out on his official Congressional letter head. All he was trying to do was to raise 30 million dollars in contributions to build the Charles B. Rangel School of Public Service at C.C.N.Y……(it was for the children....and again….we’ve ALL been there, done that whole "mailing letters out on our Congressional letter head" thing)
These are not the only ethics violations that Charlie has been charged with…..the list goes on and on. In fact….back in September of 2008, Roll Call newspaper said the following…..“The inconsistent reports are among myriad errors, discrepancies and unexplained entries on Rangel’s personal disclosure forms over the past eight years that make it almost impossible to get a clear picture of the Ways and Means chairman’s financial dealings.”
My question is this: Is Charlie Rangel that stupid….or does he just think that the American people are that stupid?.....After all, he helped to write some of those laws that he "allegedly" broke. How can you help write specific laws....and then claim ignorance of those laws? (simple answer…you can’t) There is no excuse for this type of behavior. Plain and simple….he should go to prison. One thing for sure, if it were you or me….we would already have our toothbrush packed and be headed off to a 5 to 10 year vacation as a guest of the federal government.....and he should be no different. Actually, let me rephrase that….since he helped to write the laws…..he should get at least double the punishment. STILL....with all that said…….based on the laws of our great country....Charlie Rangel is innocent until proven guilty.
Right about now someone is saying……”Well David, you have certainly enlightened me on the role of the House Ways and Means Committee……and I certainly understand the charges against Mr Rangel….and the whole “innocent until proven guilty” part of your title……but what about the rest of it?”......Oh yeah…I almost forgot….there was that whole “Stupid Until Proven Otherwise” thing.
Last night…August 12th, 2010….there was a birthday party/campaign fundraiser held for Charlie in the Grand Ballroom of the Plaza Hotel…..Now this was not just any birthday party/campaign fundraiser (like the ones you and I have)….NO......this was a sold out event to which those in attendance paid between $250 - $2500, just for the opportunity to wish Charlie a happy birthday.....And then there are those loyal constituents in Charlie’s district, who will probably vote for him in the next election……because they all know (just like you and me) that these charges against Charlie have only been brought up….because he is black. (I actually heard a woman say that in an interview).....
So...to ALL of the people at the birthday party last night…..and to all of those who will probably vote for this idiot, in spite of the evidence that he is a crook (sorry....alleged crook)…….let me read you YOUR rights….”You are hereby notified that you are Stupid Until Proven Otherwise”….Then Again….That’s Just Me

Your Intolerance Will No Longer Be Tolerated………….
Dictionary.com defines tolerance as “a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry”.
We seem to be living in a world where the popular “buzz word” is tolerance. We as Americans (more specifically Americans of the LEGAL variety) are instructed by everyone from Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi to Felipe Calderon….that we should be more tolerant of people coming into America illegally….because after all, they are just trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. We shouldn’t care that this “better life”….(for people who broke the law in order to get here…and who are continuing to break our laws by staying here)…..is costing the people of the United States…..according to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform….as much as $113 billion dollars a year…..
These liberal “champions of tolerance” are basically saying to anyone who opposes ILLEGAL immigration….…”Why don’t you stop being such a hater, and just be more tolerant”….and….“Where are your Christian principles….after all, what would Jesus do?” Keep in mind that while it’s perfectly fine for them to bring up Christianity and the name of Jesus while defending their stand on being pro-ILLEGAL immigration…..don’t YOU bring up the fact that you are a Christian….and don’t you mention the name of Jesus under ANY circumstance….because that of course will not be tolerated. For some reason…they seem to think that because they have proclaimed themselves as the tolerance police….that it’s perfectly fine for them to label those of us who speak out against ILLEGAL immigration as being intolerant racists. More and more it seems that in an ultra-tolerant, politically-correct society…where we don’t put labels on people who are just “different”…..the average citizen has no right to their own opinion….and a person who has an opinion that differs from the liberal point of view……can automatically be labeled as an intolerant racist, hate-monger.….and of course….they will no longer be tolerated. Don’t believe me? Look at the way that the LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed in the media…….You would think that everyone who drives their Grizwald-mobile into Arizona on vacation….is greeted at the state line by thousands of hillbillies in white hoods….holding nooses and burning crosses. The LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed as a bunch of racists, who are intolerant of those who are just “different”….And the whiney-baby liberals (led by the Obama administration) have made it clear….by filing a lawsuit against the State of Arizona….that the type of intolerance as laid out in Arizona’s SB1069 will simply not be tolerated. To recap…..if you are living in the United States legally…..and you disagree with ILLEGAL immigration on the grounds that it is ILLEGAL….your intolerance will no longer be tolerated.
If you’re still with me….then you’re probably a completely intolerant, right-wing, conservative, Christian racist……so why not continue with me to New York City. Here we see that a group of Muslims want to build a mosque just a few blocks away from the site of the World Trade Center attacks. Of course we know that the men who hijacked those planes and then intentionally crashed them into the World Trade Center on 9/11, killing over 2600 people……were all Irish-Catholics…..So what’s the problem with building a mosque? Those who support this reprehensible project would say….”Since Islam is a ‘religion of peace’…..why can’t you Christians find some peace and civility as well?” Those same people will argue that America is a nation of tolerance and that we have freedom of religion….and they would be correct. Well they would be correct…..unless it’s a Christian standing up for what THEY believe. Then you are just an ignorant, intolerant Muslim-hating Christian….. and we all know that will not be tolerated. Supporters of this mosque would have you believe that the location is just a coincidence…..that it just HAPPENED to be 3 blocks away from the attacks of 9/11 by a bunch of radical Islamic terrorists…..and that the scheduled dedication of that mosque….on the 10th anniversary of 9/11…..is merely a coincidence as well. (I actually heard a representative from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) make that statement in an interview on WFLA radio in Tampa, Florida). In other words….its ok to kill thousands of innocent people and then rub the citizens of New York City’s nose in it by building this mosque…..but it’s NOT ok for them to not be ok with it. (yeah....read that last sentence a few times.....it will make sense) The people of New York have to be tolerant of this shameful behavior by Muslims…..but their opposition will not be tolerated. Did I get that right?
Right about now some is saying (in a very annoying, high-pitched, whiney voice)….”Can’t we all just get along?”……and normally I would say "Sure". This time, I’m just not sure if we can. If you’re wondering if I am angry….(then obviously you aren’t paying attention)…..but to answer your query…”YES I AM”. I am tired of the media and the liberals of this country assuming that they have the market cornered on tolerance. (If you are in that group….first of all, you probably aren’t reading this….but just in case there are some stragglers….please lean forward and read these next few sentences very carefully)….You do NOT own rights to tolerance. You do NOT get to choose who has to be tolerant and who does not. You do NOT get to decide that my disapproval with things that are obviously wrong…makes me intolerant. You do NOT get to be intolerant of Christianity and the moral values that go along with it….while at the same time labeling me as intolerant of those whose way of life goes against my Christian principles. In short…..to quote 4-year-olds everywhere….”You’re not the boss of me”....with those wise words having been spoken.....let me make something perfectly clear…..As of right now....I will no longer tolerate your intolerance. Then Again….That’s Just Me

Look at the way that the LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed in the media…….You would think that everyone who drives their Grizwald-mobile into Arizona on vacation….is greeted at the state line by thousands of hillbillies in white hoods….holding nooses and burning crosses. The LEGAL citizens of Arizona are being portrayed as a bunch of racists, who are intolerant of those who are just “different”….And the whiney-baby liberals (led by the Obama administration) have made it clear….by filing a lawsuit against the State of Arizona….that the type of intolerance as laid out in Arizona’s SB1069 will simply not be tolerated. To recap…..if you are living in the United States legally…..and you disagree with ILLEGAL immigration on the grounds that it is ILLEGAL….your intolerance will no longer be tolerated.
If you’re still with me….then you’re probably a completely intolerant, right-wing, conservative, Christian racist……so why not continue with me to New York City. Here we see that a group of Muslims want to build a mosque just a few blocks away from the site of the World Trade Center attacks. Of course we know that the men who hijacked those planes and then intentionally crashed them into the World Trade Center on 9/11, killing over 2600 people……were all Irish-Catholics…..So what’s the problem with building a mosque? Those who support this reprehensible project would say….”Since Islam is a ‘religion of peace’…..why can’t you Christians find some peace and civility as well?” Those same people will argue that America is a nation of tolerance and that we have freedom of religion….and they would be correct. Well they would be correct…..unless it’s a Christian standing up for what THEY believe. Then you are just an ignorant, intolerant Muslim-hating Christian….. and we all know that will not be tolerated. Supporters of this mosque would have you believe that the location is just a coincidence…..that it just HAPPENED to be 3 blocks away from the attacks of 9/11 by a bunch of radical Islamic terrorists…..and that the scheduled dedication of that mosque….on the 10th anniversary of 9/11…..is merely a coincidence as well. (I actually heard a representative from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) make that statement in an interview on WFLA radio in Tampa, Florida). In other words….its ok to kill thousands of innocent people and then rub the citizens of New York City’s nose in it by building this mosque…..but it’s NOT ok for them to not be ok with it. (yeah....read that last sentence a few times.....it will make sense) The people of New York have to be tolerant of this shameful behavior by Muslims…..but their opposition will not be tolerated. Did I get that right?
Right about now some is saying (in a very annoying, high-pitched, whiney voice)….”Can’t we all just get along?”……and normally I would say "Sure". This time, I’m just not sure if we can. If you’re wondering if I am angry….(then obviously you aren’t paying attention)…..but to answer your query…”YES I AM”. I am tired of the media and the liberals of this country assuming that they have the market cornered on tolerance. (If you are in that group….first of all, you probably aren’t reading this….but just in case there are some stragglers….please lean forward and read these next few sentences very carefully)….You do NOT own rights to tolerance. You do NOT get to choose who has to be tolerant and who does not. You do NOT get to decide that my disapproval with things that are obviously wrong…makes me intolerant. You do NOT get to be intolerant of Christianity and the moral values that go along with it….while at the same time labeling me as intolerant of those whose way of life goes against my Christian principles. In short…..to quote 4-year-olds everywhere….”You’re not the boss of me”....with those wise words having been spoken.....let me make something perfectly clear…..As of right now....I will no longer tolerate your intolerance. Then Again….That’s Just Me
