Sarah Palin

Does anyone know if Sarah Palin owns a dog? Or if she's had any dog related political stances?

I'm impressed with not only her as the Republican VP, but with John McCain for choosing her... and here's why...

Palin: Proven…

1. Integrity
2. Accomplishment
3. Poise
4. Resume
5. Conservative
6. Faith & Values: I'm pretty impressed with her choices regarding her child with Down Syndrome.
7. Son in Iraq
8. A normal family
9. Courage & Moxie
10. Hunter & Gun Rights Advocate (You have to assume if she's a hunter, she's used dogs to hunt).


I have serious problems with Obama

1. Integrity problems all over the place, including his deal with Rezko, his racist background, his Chicago political machine connections, his associations with radicals including a terrorist… Who do you know who has friends and associates like this? This is all recent and ongoing, not something that happened 20 years ago in his youth.
2. No accomplishment. Here is a super talented guy who has never done anything with his talents except run for office. He's approximately the same age as Palin, yet he has no claim to doing anything important. He makes a lot of promises of what he’s going to do, but he’s never done anything. He claims he can bring everyone together… but has that happened, even in his own party?
3. Poise: he’s thin skinned; when questioned, note how defensive he is
4. Resume: besides getting a college education, what has he done?
5. Socialist. I wouldn’t want government run health care, for example. The health care you receive in the military, for example, is government run health care. Here’s an example of how it works (same in Canada, France, etc.): A MARTIAL arts champion whose life was "destroyed" by multiple sclerosis has been refused benefits - because she can still talk. Tae Kwon Do silver medallist Kirsten McLaughlin, 33, requires round-the-clock care from husband Alan, 34. But she has been denied disability living allowance as the authorities claim she only needs "comfort and assistance" and can still "communicate".
6. Faith & Values? Some kind of wacky Christian; how can he not be a racist, black liberation wacko? His history says he is, regardless of what he says. This is a church that embraces Louis Farrakhan!
7. Kids too young to be held responsible for anything… however, O allowed them to be indoctrinated into a wacko socialist / racist environment and did a lot of time in that wacko church. If he rejects that teaching, then why would he put his own kids in that environment?
8. He seems to have a good family, and his personal family looks appealing. If it wasn't for all this baggage, you'd want to be his friend and get to know his wife.
9. Courage & Moxie: he’s got lots of moxie, but where has he taken a courageous stand in his entire life and done something about it? Except for opposing the war in Iraq, which really didn't require any courage, where has he ever done anything of significance that shows anything more than personal ambition?
10. Animal Rights supporter. He has never repudiated his comments about supporting animal rights.

Democrat Convention

I tried to watch some of the Democrat Convention tonight... but after that gas bag, Edward Kennedy... and the rest of the droning speakers went on and on... it reminded me of a high school graduation where there are a bunch of meaningless speeches and horrible music and poetry, and we are all expected to sit there and pretend we are having a good time. I am now so bored... I'm bored being bored, and figured it was time to talk about something interesting instead...

A Phoenix man was sentenced to 23 1/2 years in prison for ordering his dog to attack a police officer. He was also convicted of two counts of aggravated assault, theft of means of transportation, and resisting arrest.

I'm not sure how I feel about this sentence. Is the crime worthy of jail time? Yes. You don't get to attack or kill a police officer... the guy is just doing his job. Unless there is a lot more to this story, such as a history of this guy committing other serious crimes, I am betting the sentence is overturned and reduced, however.

I Support Law Enforcement... But, This Is Something Different...

The San Marcos police chief has reprimanded an officer who drew brickbats from around the nation for delaying two college students as they tried to rush their dying dog to a veterinarian this month. Officer Paul Stephens, who said, “It's just a dog,” as he held the pair beside Interstate 35, received an oral reprimand and counseling, Police Chief Howard Williams said Tuesday. “We sustained the complaint that was filed,” Williams said. “We made him watch the tape with his supervisor and he was counseled on how to improve his performance.”

Well... isn't that special? "Counseled on how to improve his performance." We all know how wrong this is. We all know this jerk should have been fired. We all know that the cops shouldn't protect these types, because it undermines public confidence and support for the good cops. We all know that this guy could have been a hero instead of a "zero" if he'd rushed this couple to the vet to try and save this dog. What public good did this serve? What good did this do this community and police force to not toss this guy out of the force? Was this really a "reprimand", or does it instead smack of corruption in that police organization?

All I can say is... GRRRRR!!!

Wackos Abound...

Militant animal rights groups are using children to push their agenda of a meatless, petless society, a seminar on the growth of the animal rights movement was told this morning.

Want to know why I write about dog haters, enviro-wackos, animal rights nuts, breed banning collectivists, and so on? Because these people are real. They are happening. They threaten normal people with violence and a totalitarianism as bad as Communism and Nazism.

Do Your Job!

Leflore County Humane Society's president says Greenwood should adopt a tough ordinance restricting pit bulls and Rottweilers to prevent their migration into the city limits.

This is so WRONG in so many ways, where do I start?

This is not the type of person I'd want running my local humane society. They are supposed to be animal welfare advocates. If the dogs end up in shelters, they are supposed to find them homes. They are supposed to be animal advocates. They are supposed to find ways of educating the public about responsible animal care...

Not banning dogs.
