Entirely self-explanatory.

This is what your country, this administration and “journalism” has come to.

Will we attempt to instigate our own “wave of change” in November?

How much more will it take to convince you to get on board?

Granted, there are divisions in the TEA Party.

What the Leftists and Progressives and Demorats don’t know, however, is this:

There is no one “central” TEA Party administration. It is much more and — in truth — much less than that. It is more a conglomeration of ideas than a central organization or a person or a series of persons. Those who say only “they” represent any portion of the TEA Party are lying.

TEA Parties are amorphous and ever-changing. With one exception: their beliefs in Conservatism. Not REPUBLICAN conservatism, but actual Conservatism with a capital “C.”

And to you Republican asshats who keep calling me daily from DC, though I’ve put my personal and private telephone numbers on the federal Do Not Call Registry — calling from (202) 870-5170 or 5173 — you’re about to receive a rather loud surprise tomorrow when I answer the phone. Woe be to the person who calls. It won’t be pretty and I won’t be civil.

NO money to the GOP. NO money to the RNCC and to anything associated with Michael Steele. Money ONLY to your LOCAL True Conservatives — no matter their party of affiliation!

One thing you must understand if you’re a Conservative:

The Leftists and Progressives and Demorats are doing their level-best to DEFINE YOU on THEIR terms. They want to portray us ALL as racists and two-toed sloths.

If we stand aside, as many of the Republicans are — then we simply acquiesce and get what we deserve. Those who cower in fear are doomed to their own purgatory.

However, if we REFUSE to be defined and verbally fight back — taking the lead in terms of Talking Points — then we gain the upper hand. We CANNOT AFFORD to let others define Conservatives as they see fit. We cannot subsume; we cannot become “background.”

Scott Brown, as an excellent first example — he of the “pickup truck”– should never be elected again. Those who voted for that asshat got snookered. He lied. Never again. Never AGAIN. He betrayed your vote.

Because here is what happens at the end of the day:

The Demorats all get together with the RINOs and hotfoot it over to the local DC watering holes and laugh it up, backslapping and expensive call drinks all around. As long as THEY have THEIRS — you, The American Taxpayer, can go straight to HELL.

Conservatives, I say to you: BEWARE the Republican. Pick and choose your votes carefully come November.

Do not become assumptive, do not become arrogant, do not think that the future is written in stone. The Demorats are pushing like never before in the history of this nation.

November is NOT a “given.” It IS a “given,” however, that Conservatism WILL LOSE if you do little or nothing. There is no GREATER single-vote illiterate motivator than the promise of Free Cheese. And the Demorats want their voters dependent and stupid.

If the Demorats win, it is a “given” that you will never recognize your country again.

My wife and I spent the last three nights in the Santa Cruz & Capitola area, which is adjacent Monterey Bay. You can see that Santa Cruz (click on map to expand) is in the upper portion of the map, with Monterey and Pacific Grove in the lower portion of the bay. You can also see that Monterey Bay borders a rather deep ocean canyon which drops off precipitously.
This is the Capitola Wharf, at the end of which is a seafood restaurant called the Wharf House, where we had dinner Monday night.
The area is replete with kayak rentals. There is a three mile radius limit for paddling. Three miles is a really, really long way if you’re in a kayak. These people are in the midst of one of the famous Monterey Bay kelp beds.
This is the Stockton Bridge in the town of Capitola-By-The-Sea. In the area, because of the wages, Capitola PD is where one wanted to work when looking for local law enforcement employment. This is the Soquel River running under the bridge and towards the sea.
Entrance to the wharf.
If there’s a will, there’s a way.
Small boat fishing. The ocean was very calm.
Boats anchored south of the Capitola Wharf.
Today is now a “driving back” day. As you read this I’ll be heading north, once again, on Highway 1 back towards work. Heavy sigh. Please click on the photographs for full expansion and detail. Take care, dearest readers. Back to the chug tomorrow.

Hold onto your hats, here’s a tough one to believe:

Your glorious and benevolent federal government may have been responsible for the deletion of, at minimum, tens of thousands of private sector jobs when it steamrollered over GM and Chrysler.

The Treasury Department failed to consider the economic fallout when it told General Motors and Chrysler to quickly shutter many dealerships as part of government-led bankruptcies, a federal watchdog found.

“Oh no,” you must be saying, “my Leftist Federal Government couldn’t possibly be responsible for this!” you cry. “Mr Obama swears he only creates jobs — he doesn’t delete jobs!”

A report released Sunday (07/18/10) by the special inspector general for the government’s bailout program raised questions about whether the Obama administration’s auto task force considered the job losses from the closings while pressuring the companies to reduce costs.

Treasury didn’t show why the cuts were “either necessary for the sake of the companies’ economic survival or prudent for the sake of the nation’s economic recovery,” said the audit by Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the $787 billion stimulus program known as TARP.

Hold it right there! Is it even remotely being intimated that the Obama Federal Government may have not known what it was doing in its omnipotence? That it may — gulp! — have even been acting in a rash, uneducated and ignorant fashion?

Treasury made a series of decisions that may have substantially contributed to the accelerated shuttering of thousands of small businesses,” investigators said.

Those decisions resulted in “potentially adding tens of thousands of workers to the already lengthy unemployment rolls – all based on a theory and without sufficient consideration of the decisions’ broader economic impact,” the report said.

So there you have it, dearest readers.

In one stroke of a pen, Mr Obama in his lofty, pompous, and conceited way forcibly wrested control of two major American car manufacturers and, in the process, managed to eliminate TENS OF THOUSANDS of small business jobs — local dealerships and their employees — thereby HIMSELF contributing to the RISING unemployment lines.

Go try to find this story. At NBC, CBS, NBC or any of the other governmental sphincter-licking media outlets.

Good luck with that.

People, you just try to do without cops.

You’re about to be at that point:

Off duty Chicago police officer shot and killed

I’m about to retire, ladies and gentlemen.

Let me make this plain and simple: once I retire, all of you citizens can go straight to hell. I am so fucking tired of babysitting and hand-holding alleged adults.

I have my cabin two counties and 90+ miles away from so-called “civilization.”

I saw this shit coming as far away as 1993. Which is when I moved from Sacramento,
