Comedian In Chief

Our glorious leader has been self-appointed to the office of Comedian In Chief.

As Comedian In Chief, his job will be to make stupid jokes, call those who enforce his laws stupid and trick our country into thinking that: "We have to spend money to keep from going bankrupt."

Don't believe me? Watch this.



So, he admits he is biased in favor of the professor, states that he doesn't know the details of the case and yet he still slams the police officer.

He never said anything like that about "Reverend" Wright, who was videotaped spewing racist filth.

I think that the situation is very reminiscent of this comedy sketch.
Caution; some questionable content follows.



But I find the president in the second video infinitely funnier.

Live Free Or Die Hard Vs. Taken

Just FYI (For Ya'll's Information) I will be including a few spoilers throughout this post, so consider yourself warned.

Die Hard and Taken both have similar story lines, both of them concern dad's and their attempts to get their daughter's hearts. Both films have the daughters kidnapped and the valiant fathers coming to the rescue.

In Live Free or Die Hard, Thomas Gabriel, a former NSA programmer turned evil hacker reeks havoc on America, by attacking the transportation grid and stock market.

The main character, John McClane (played by Bruce Willis), is an experienced cop from NYC. He's asked to pick up Matthew Farrell, a hacker wanted by the FBI for possible involvement with Gabriel.

McClane arrives at Farrell's house just in time to thwart an attack by Gabriel's hitmen, he and Farrell then travel the country trying to undo the damage Gabriel's attack has caused.
McClane's daughter is captured in the process and McClane and Ferrell set off to save her.


In Taken, Liam Neeson plays Bryan Mills, a former CIA agent who has quit the agency, in an attempt to better his relationship with his daughter and ex-wife.

His daughter asks to be allowed to travel to Paris with a friend, which Mills reluctantly allows.
Shortly after his daughter lands in Paris, she is kidnapped by "human traffickers".
Mills utilizes some of his friends still in the CIA to find the names of her abductors, then he travels to Europe with a vengeance.


Before I start ranting about these films, I have decided to give list of pros and cons so that you will better understand the position I take.

Live Free or Die Hard:

Pros,

Great character growth.
Really good fight scenes.
Good writing.
Good acting.

Cons,

The language was terrible.
Some immodesty and one (though very short)"scene".
Some of the action slipped into the unbelievable.

Taken:

Pros,

Good fight scenes here too.
The Dad is shown as being much wiser than his Daughter thought.
Purity is rewarded and licentiousness is punished.

Cons,

Lots of immodesty.
The writing stunk.
The acting was even worse.
Almost no character growth.


I was extremely disappointed with Taken, Liam Neeson seemed to be overly concerned with putting on an American accent, as a result his acting skills were not up to par.

The writing for the character of his daughter was really bad, for instance, in the beginning of the movie Liam Neeson's character gives her a karaoke machine, she gives him a hug and says "thanks Dad". At the end of the movie, after Neeson's character has taken a bullet for her and saved her, she gives him a hug and says "thanks Dad" and then rides off with her mom and step Dad. Almost like Neeson's efforts were not a big deal.

The feel of the movie was like a very poorly made Independent film.
It may sound like I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I cannot go into detail without giving alot of the film away, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one.

When I watched Die Hard I started with no expectations and was surprised by a really good movie.
Matthew Farrell's character growth is great, he starts off in the beginning as a slightly effeminate hacker, in the end he's gunning down criminals alongside McClane.

In my opinion, Live Free or Die Hard wins, hands down.

Happy Birthday Liv!

"By the margin, willow veil'd,
Slide the heavy barges trail'd
By slow horses; and unhail'd
The shallop flitteth silken-sail'd
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early,
In among the bearded barley
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly;
Down to tower'd Camelot;
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers, 'Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott.'"

I'd like to wish my loverly sister, Olivia Taylor Powers, a Happy 16th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Sis, may the Lord bless you in the coming years and may you live to see Freedom, Order and Peace restored to our country.

Rehoboth Farm

A good view of our potato bed.




This is our second try at growing millet and it's been doing quite well.




The social outcast of our chicken flock, we like to call him the"Lone Free Ranger".




All of our previous hives have swarmed, taking to many workers with them which caused the rest of the hive to die off.
So we're very thankfull that this current colony has done very well over the past three years.




We expect to have plenty of corn before to long.




A overview of our garden (please forgive the glare).

Who's The Terrorist Now?

We hear daily reports of lawlessness abroad, of hostages taken, of property stolen, of innocents killed. The modern day media loves to broadcast every depressing tidbit of information they come across, with one exception.

When the current Government becomes the kidnapper and the thief, the media makes excuses for them.
The Government has imprisoned a teenager without due process, please check out this post by my good friend Son3, I'm in total agreement with him.

What's the excuse for this?

Something like "Oh, if they didn't kidnap that guy, innocent Americans might die!"
Yet, waterboarding fanatic Muslim's is terrible, even though we've extracted info that may have saved thousands of lives.

Personally, I have not really decided if I'm for or against waterboarding*, I just use the previous example to defend my point, that most of the media outlets win the "Sycophant of the year award".
But to return to the subject of this post.

The Government can now do no wrong in the people's eyes.
This is because the Government is viewed as perfect by the media, (the ones who tell the people what to believe). And why shouldn't they be viewed thus? They're both Socialistic.

Today, while checking my emails, I ran across this news story, which is the cause of my rant.

The Government is using Eminent Domain to usurp the rights of property owners, so they will own the property where Flight 93 went down.
They say they want to own the land to build a memorial, but let's not forget what happened the first time they said this.

The brave Americans on Flight 93 left their own memorial, one engraved in the minds of those who remember the aftermath of the terrible day.

"Down with fascism."

If those who died then could speak to us today, I'm sure they would say something like that.
They died fighting Islamo-Fascism, but today the Government is using their own poisonous concoction "to honor them".

Maybe it's just me, but if I had died in such a manner, I would rather be quickly forgotten than have a memorial, on land tyranically snatched from it's true owners, dedicated to me.

As the wise Dr. Ron Paul said;
“When fascism comes, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.”

Let's Roll,
