Environmentalists - Never thought about it that way
but it makes sense.
Environmentalists are the 1 percent
Many years ago in my fathers law office, there was a very nice female attorney. On her walls were pictures and posters and thank you stuff from various environmental groups and several anti gun groups. You know a typical Liberal "I Love Me." wall. Now this lady wasn't a member of my fathers firm, she just rented an office and paid for secretarial and switchboard services.
I walked in to the offices one day after a 16 hour shift at the housing authority, I had been awake for about 32 hours and technically "On duty" that entire time but had only just gotten off a post. I smelled rank, wearing body armor in 98 degree heat with a heat index of 112 does that to you, add in fully duty belt that with my pistol weighed about 25 pounds, combat boots and heavy uniform pants that were supposed to be fireproof after the molotov cocktail incident in the Wellston Projects, where we lost a patrol car and two guys got badly burnt by their polyester pants and shirts.
Anyway I smelled bad and probably looked worse. This lady lawyer had just moved finished moving in to her office and was setting it up. She came out of the office and almost walked into me. She looked me up and down scrutinizing my badge and told me that I didn't have any authority to be in the offices carrying a firearm. I gave her my "Are you kidding me" look and started to say something to her when my dad came out of his office then and said "good you're here." and then introduced the lady to me.
Her face turned various shades of differing colors, it sorta looked green for a second, but that might have been the light. I just shook her hand and said pleasetameetcha then went on back to my dads office to move the file cabinet he had asked me to stop by and do on my way home.
Over the next two years she was in my dad's office she saw me in uniform, in jeans, shorts and suits. Her attitude toward me changed greatly from our very first meeting. She was very expansive on how she enjoyed doing work for the Sierra Club, Handgun Control Inc (Which is what the Brady Campaign used to be called), and other assorted groups. When I asked her why the Sierra Club was against something Ducks Unlimited was doing she gave me a big spiel about how DU was only concerned with hunting the birds and the birds needed to be protected yadda yadda yadda. I tried to explain to her about the good DU does and hunters as well, she wasn't having any of it.
So, it took me awhile but I found the tax revenue numbers from the tax on firearms, ammunition, hunting and fishing licenses and the programs that money goes to. I also found, how much the Sierra Club had spent on wildlife management. It was a 7 to 1 difference. DU spending plus all that tax money from hunters, fisherman and anyone purchasing ammo generated 7 times as much money for wildlife habitat management and conservation that the Sierra Club spent. Most of SC's funds were spent on salaries, advertising, lawyers and lawsuits.
I showed her all of this information that had taken me several months to get, (This was pre-internet and WWW), her response? She moved out of my dad's offices telling him that "I" had made working there a hostile workplace.
Now this is a lawyer, if there was a "Hostile" workplace she would have acted like any other lawyer and sued.
Did she?
No.
Why?
Probably because her harping about how the Sierra Club is the best and hunters and anglers and anyone who owns a firearm are bad evil people.
She did this in front of the Secretaries, the Paralegals, the Clients of other Attorneys, many of whom were middle and lower class, blue collar people. Some of whom were my co-workers who also carried badges and pistols.
If anyone had created a hostile environment, she did.
My dad was only sad to see her go because he was in the middle of trail and couldn't take time to vet any new lawyer to rent the office she left. Even he was tired of her. And I know this may sound hokey or something, but my dad got along with almost anyone and everyone, if he didn't like you, you weren't likable to others. And he didn't really like her because of her constant complaints about all the, well I'll say it, she didn't like how most of my dad's clients were poor black people. 90% of my dad's clients were blacks trying to get a leg up and were working their butts off to try to succeed. A lot of my co-workers went to my dad, their family members went to my dad. My dad when he died had over $500,000.00 dollars outstanding invoices from clients who just couldn't pay their bills, but my dad still worked to try to help them.
But according to this lady lawyer, "I" had created a hostile environment because I brought her cold hard incontrovertible facts about how her biases were wrong.
So that article link from Borepatch I posted above? Yes, Environmentalists ARE the 1%
And they refuse to see the facts, even when you rub their noses in them.

Our Tax dollars funding partisan groups
Nothing like having the tax dollars of every American Tax Payer being used to fund Leftist Liberal organizations under the heading of Social Innovation Fund.

ABC Propangandists at it again
SHAME ON ABC! They can’t find any Americans with justifiable anti-Muslim sentiment to report on so they use actors to play redneck ‘Islamophobes’
Hey ABC how about you go to Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt Saudi Arabia and see how non-muslims are treated there.
It will fill your if it bleeds it lead quota for a year.

Amnesty - Republicans take heed
Ace has a post up that you really should read.
"Outsourcing permits companies to ship most factories overseas so that they can produce products using cheap foreign labor and then import the finished products back to America.
There are a tiny few jobs left for blue-collar workers that cannot be so exported to other countries -- jobs in which the work must be done in America, due to circumstances. Construction is the paradigmatic type of this sort of work -- you can't build a bridge intended for Vermont in China. You have to build it here.
So, there are very few manufacturing-type jobs left -- doing jobs, making jobs -- where the natural advantage of the American worker has not been undermined by outsourcing to other countries.
This whole Amnesty bid is an attempt to do an end-run around that. We can't export these jobs to other countries? Fine, then: We'll import the workers to this one."
Republicans in office would do well to read that and ask themselves how they intend to prevent it.

Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, Leftists - War on women
I challenge ALL of the stated types referenced in the title of this post to go to XBrad's place and read that post. And then tell me in the comments what the REAL War on Women is.
You sit here in the United States safe and secure, spouting off about how Men are the root of all the ills of this country, and ignore the HORRORS that are being perpetrated on women half a world away. And you are silent.
The servicemembers of our armed forces, go over there to try to STOP that. And you disparage them and call them rapists and murderers.
There is no War on Women here in the United States. If there was, thousands of YOU would be dead.
So please take your feigned outrage, remove your cranium from your anal sphincter, and instead of hindering our troops and their mission. HELP.
The War on Women, by ultimaratioregis
If after reading that you still think there is a War on Women here in the United States, you are deluded. And as such are mentally deficient and in need of psychological help. Because you are truly too mentally damaged to be allowed to handle your own affairs.

I'm sorry the only person I want controlling my thermostat, or anything about my electrical usage/footprint is ME.
If my bills is too high I makes changes. I already have, I run CF lights all throughout the house, installed ceiling fans in every room except the bathrooms, I only try to use the washer and dryer after dark. "I" made those decisions. If you try to legislate my usage to me, I will do what ever I can do and afford to SPITE you.
As my older brother has called me many a time, "I am a Natural Born Contrarian"
That means annoy me at your own peril, for I WILL find a way to get at you even if it is just something to annoy you back 10 times the amount you annoyed me. I won't do any damage or hurt anything or anyone but you WILL feel the wrath of what I fondly refer to as my wit and sense of humor.

A 93-Year-Old Prophecy Comes To Pass-from the inbox
A Brilliant Prophecy From 93 Years Ago
H.L. Mencken (born 1880 - died 1956) was a journalist, satirist,
critic, and Democrat. He wrote this editorial while working for the
Baltimore Evening Sun, which appeared in the July 26, 1920, edition:
As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be occupied by a downright fool and complete narcissistic moron.
---H.L. Mencken, The Baltimore Evening Sun, July 26, 1920
Library of Congress visitor? Hello Congressman or Senator
I mean look at the blog they're coming from....PISSED aka The Feral Irishman probably had some tasty female pics posted again. But looking at how long they stayed on my blog, once they figured out I don't post scantily clad beauties, (which literally take less than a second) they were gone. I had a whole snarky line written about someone from the library of Congress visiting my blog, when it hit me in the head.
The Library of Congress isn't just Congress's Library, it is OUR LIbrary. The library of the People, for the People.
The Library of Congress has a job to try to assemble as much of the literature of the whole world, into one place so that the knowledge can be saved and be available for EVERYONE, regardless of their Race, Religion, or Political Affiliation or lack thereof.
I mean look at this screen shot of the Library of Congress's front page.
Besides on the the Library of Congresses job of collecting information, it's second job is to be a place of Learning. Look at the screenshot again. I don't see any type of political agenda there, I see a Teaching agenda there.
From the Wikipedia page on the Library:
The Library of Congress is the research library of the United States Congress, the de facto national library of the United States of America, and the oldest federal cultural institution in the United States. Located in four buildings in Washington, D.C., as well as the Packard Campus[2] in Culpeper, Virginia, it is one of the two largest libraries in the world by shelf space and number of books, the other being The British Library
The Library of Congress has a very important roll not just in this country, but the entire world.
So I'll hold any real snarky joke in abeyance. I will leave the bit I wrote at first in though, so you can understand what I had thought at first.
Yes it's a little funny the came to my page from PISSED's, but considering their real job, it might be serious to them.
