Here's one of my first posts and observations on a then potential Obama presidency in Feb 07/ I'm no prophet believe you me..... it was all common sense far too many today simply 'lack',
George Mason explained, “(T)o disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.” Noah Webster elaborated: “Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed
These people have incredible video of illegals, Armed terrorists, you name it invading the country each second of every day..
Along with a quite personal story and anecdote explaining my extreme dislike for these sorry self pitying killers
Five children and a supposed loving father who in his failures as a man decides his children would be better off dead than alive while he looks for a new job after losing his job has apparently killed all five and then himself according to these reports. And of coarse the speculation in the MSM du jour yesterday and today has been that these shootings are related to these week kneed so called Americans who go on these rampages from losing a freaking job..
I'm sure there's more to it than that that we'll hear int he coming days, yet I'm sorry but I have no compassion for these people and here's why. We all have our tragedies and crosses to bear, like for instance here's a story of a man I know who's basically been through hell and back and didn't choose the easy and even violent way out like these people have done/Names excluded
I'll be as brief as possible but thoroughness is a bad habit of mine, sorry.
What would you do if after 16 years of school including college that merged into 26 year career in printing and publishing being hired and fired from 9 different jobs along the way all coming to an end unexpectedly due to the development of Multiple Sclerosis, resulting in nearly overnight paralysis in the persons left left leg later effecting both legs, essentially rendering them to being crippled thus preventing this man from continuing employment in the field of which this person worked all his adult life in some capacity in another.
At that moment this person then lost his fiancee of 2 years along with his $100,000 a year job and the family he was ready to start after careful planning and saving, resulting in the loss of his $350,000 family home which his grandparents built in the suburbs of Chicago in 1970, was forced to file bankruptcy and move into a much smaller townhome and live and much scaled down existence and certainly less extravagant lifestyle. Then to literally living off of his retirement at 40 instead of 60 as he planned for along with his substantial life savings which were essentially depleted in 3 years time, while rebuilding his life from the ground up essentially from a wheelchair.
Yet this man didn't go to his Dr's office, or the company which he worked until becoming ill that let him go for a total BS reason although illness was the true cause for his termination. Nor did he sue the company for wrongful dismissal even with a pretty solid case, mostly because he was a white male who would get laughed out of court for discrimination unless of coarse he all of a sudden became a female or happened to be black, or both.
He also didn't head to the nearest Burger King or McDonald's even though they've fuc&*d up at least 100 plus simple orders of his over the years, nor the Social Security office trying to get disability he payed into for 25 blessed years faithfully and unquestioned for the most part. Nor did he go commit violence of any sort for that matter, even with a $5000 arsenal of weapons and ammunition available to use to start killing innocent people because he was unfairly stricken with this crippling and incurable disease who's medications would cost $2500 a month for the next 7 years to self inject every freaking day and while insured the co pays would range from $80 in 2002 to $350 a month in 2009 .
Why not go haywire and postal at the same time you're wondering perhaps?
Because this person we're speaking of is (A) a tough as nails old school, full grown man who takes full responsibility for his own life and all actions taken within and thereof, and (B) because he may be physically disabled in a way but sure isn't mentally ill, as anyone who would commit these random acts of selfish nuttiness we've described certainly MUST BE fu***d in the head without examination nor hesitation.
So I do hope by now if you read this far that you've guessed the person being described here is ME.... and I must say I'm damn proud that I took the hard and high road and I've been quite successful in rebuilding and re branding my shattered life and name. A wonderful life that hit rock bottom back in 2oo2 by no doings of my own under those nearly dire circumstances that many who suffered far less injustices go gonzo over, who would then completely surrender to evil and retribution on some deserved and some not individuals or institutions that he wrongfully believe screwed them in some way, shape or form. These things happen to everyone, it's how we all react which makes all the difference in the aftermath of tragedies
I'm no different than any other true to himself, proud and well raised American, so I basically would expect that any self respecting human being would do what I did, that being pull up the bootstraps and get back to work, staying off the pity pot along with those pain and mind numbing drugs and alcohol, as you need the sharpest mind at your disposal when fighting certain ruin financially and otherwise.
Thank God above that some stability and mild success has once again found its way back into my life, however the road has been long, redundant and painful as I've now built an adult life twice when most get away with just once being enough, and luck neither bad or good had to do with the rise nor fall or rise again, it was hard work that restored my existence.
One of my favorite quotes about life comes from Abraham Lincoln who once said ""I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have
But these cowardly morons that we've seen cause death and destruction this weekend make me absolutely sick to my stomach and angrier than you can believe or want to know, as the country I love has become filled to the brim with these pathetic "woe is me, boo hoo let me be" ingrates.
Cowards who cop out at first chance and instead of diving off the nearest bridge like most Godless, unselfish failed souls would do , they instead choose to wreak havoc upon undeserved others as revenge on "the cruel world that wronged them and ONLY them"......... that is, in their warped perception of reality and the world. When in reality it was their own, pathetic failures and shortcomings that did them in, as they looked to the Nanny State to cure their ills when falling down instead of doing what I did, and that was to double down and bust my ass twice as hard to get back to where I was and now proudly am once again and hopefully to stay for a spell...
So if you read that story its 100% true and I thank you for listening/
Now back to my Chicago Ray persona and this the latest piece of trash who decided to off his 5 children in their sad and cramped mobile home, as he obviously reached his wits end because of the loss of probably one of many jobs in likely a long string of personal failures, brought on no doubt by whom? Himself, as no one dropped these 5 little innocent and no doubt expensive little tikes on his trailer park doorstep now did they?
And my bet is that financial worries and distress are what pushed him over his ledge which once again is sad for whatever reason but not for him, these innocent children are the ones who will receive my sympathies and prayers, and as for the mother who seemingly triggered the whole implosion by leaving the home is probably a battleaxe in her own right too, but the father is the murderer, not her.
Police: 5 children, father die in murder-suicide
620WTMJ | AP News: "GRAHAM, Wash. (AP) -- A father apparently shot to death five of his children, ages 7 to 16, at their mobile home and then killed himself at a casino miles away, police said Saturday.
Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff, called it a domestic violence situation and a murder-suicide.
'We believe they all died of gunshot wounds,' Troyer said. Auburn police found the father, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in his car near the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn, about 30 miles south of Seattle. Pierce County deputies checked the mobile home, which is about 20 miles southeast of the casino, and found four of the children dead in their beds and the fifth in the bathroom.
The mother of the victims was not at home, Troyer said.
He said investigators believe the husband and wife were not estranged"Troyer said investigators believe the husband and the wife, who was not home, were not estranged.
The mother's aunt, Penny Flansburg, was at a loss to explain the crime.
"They were pleasant together," Flansburg said. "We can't even figure out why."
Flansburg identified the couple as Angela and James Harrison and the children as Maxine, Samantha, Heather, Jamie and James. The father worked as a diesel mechanic, and the mother works at Wal-Mart, Flansburg said.
Ryan Peden, a classmate of the eldest daughter, said she told him Friday night that her parents had gotten into a fight and her mother had left. The father followed the mother and tried to get her to return, said Peden, 16.
Neighbors in the Deer Run mobile home park, a neat, well-kept community nestled among towering evergreens, were shocked and weeping at the news.
"How could something like this happen?" asked Mary Ripplinger, whose kids were playmates of the slain children. "Everyone's asking: Why did he do it? It's not right."
Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor described the crime as a "horrible thing."
"This was not a tragedy. It was a rotten murder," Pastor said. "This appears to be the terrible work of the biological father. If that doesn't break your heart, I don't know what does."
Another neighbor, Dale Lund, told The Seattle Times the 7-year-old boy who was killed played at times with his grandson and the boys shared the same school bus stop and attended the same elementary school together.
He said the dead boy played in his own yard most of the time.
"They pretty much kept to themselves over there," Lund said.
Dozens of investigators were on the scene trying to reconstruct the crime and discover a motive. continued

I am an seven year Multiple Sclerosis sufferer/patient and supposedly stand to gain much personally from the lifting of President Bush's ban on the use of embryonic stem cells in order to generate more research in the field than is presently being done with the present use of Adult stem cells that he approved of doing and I am reiterating here that this like Obama's love for abortion is yet another abomination from the False Messiah.
The only advancements that have been made in stem cell research worth even talking about have been made with adult stem cells and even the man that created this field disagrees with this angle of study which can be read here and here on previous posts of mine on this subject, and is nothing more than a grab by self serving scientists wishing to fill their coffers with grants and studies with unlimited Gold Rush Tax dollars that will stream to this field.
And believe you me these scientists won't be allowed to find a cure for MS and that's because the billions of dollars are in the research and treatments not in the cure, and that's a fact coming from a crippled man who won't fall for this bullshit smoke being blown up our asses by Obama and anyone else in this field/ I've see the best Dr's in the world for this disease and they to a man agree with me.
I pay $2000 a month for an MS therapy called Copaxone, do you think they want to stop this cash cow anytime soon? If so you must believe in unicorns and the false Messiah as well.
The only advancement worldwide in MS research came right here in Chicago from Northwestern University study which I myself tried to take part in a few years ago but didn't like the Dr doing the study along with the treks downtown to participate and that advancement involves the use of one's own DNA and adult stem cells and can be further learned about at this link
The Obamination strikes again, and unlike selfish liberals like himself, I am unwilling to support the destruction of life to help myself enjoy a better life free of the perils and pain suffering with MS and again am against this bill VOCIFEROUSLY ....
Here's the video from WLS TV describing the process and procedure ::
Obama reverses eight years of Bush stem cell research ban.
Transcript. - Lynn Sweet: "WASHINGTON--President Obama often talks about false choices and one of them was the 2001 ban former President Bush placed on embryonic stem cell research. On Monday, Obama issued an executive order lifting the ban before a White House audience of scientists, religious leaders and families whose lives have been touched by diseases that may be cured through stem cell research.
Obama invoked the name of Christopher Reeve, the paralyzed actor who hoped that research would one day find a way to regenerate his injured body so he could walk again. Republicans have been split over stem cell research bans. Nancy Reagan sent out a release congratulating Obama for issuing the order.
I posted the list of White House participants in the Monday event.
'But in recent years, when it comes to stem cell research, rather than furthering discovery, our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values. In this case, I believe the two are not inconsistent. As a person of faith, I believe we are called to care for each other and work to ease human suffering. I believe we have been given the capacity and will to pursue this research - and the humanity and conscience to do so responsibly,' Obama said.
"It is a difficult and delicate balance. Many thoughtful and decent people are conflicted about, or strongly oppose, this research. I understand their concerns, and we must respect their point of view. "But after much discussion, debate and reflection, the proper course has become clear. The majority of Americans - from across the political spectrum, and of all backgrounds and beliefs - have come to a consensus that we should pursue this research. That the potential it offers is great, and with proper guidelines and strict oversight, the perils can be avoided."
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
AT SIGNING OF STEM CELL EXECUTIVE ORDER
AND SCIENTIFIC INTEGRITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM
East Room
11:47 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Please, have a seat. Thank you much. Well, I'm excited too. (Laughter.)
Today, with the executive order I am about to sign, we will bring the change that so many scientists and researchers, doctors and innovators, patients and loved ones have hoped for, and fought for, these past eight years: We will lift the ban on federal funding for promising embryonic stem cell research. (Applause.) We will also vigorously support scientists who pursue this research. (Applause.) And we will aim for America to lead the world in the discoveries it one day may yield.
At this moment, the full promise of stem cell research remains unknown, and it should not be overstated. But scientists believe these tiny cells may have the potential to help us understand, and possibly cure, some of our most devastating diseases and conditions: to regenerate a severed spinal cord and lift someone from a wheelchair; to spur insulin production and spare a child from a lifetime of needles; to treat Parkinson's, cancer, heart disease and others that affect millions of Americans and the people who love them.
But that potential will not reveal itself on its own. Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident. They result from painstaking and costly research, from years of lonely trial and error, much of which never bears fruit, and from a government willing to support that work. From life-saving vaccines, to pioneering cancer treatments, to the sequencing of the human genome -- that is the story of scientific progress in America. When government fails to make these investments, opportunities are missed. Promising avenues go unexplored. Some of our best scientists leave for other countries that will sponsor their work. And those countries may surge ahead of ours in the advances that transform our lives.
In recent years, when it comes to stem cell research, rather than furthering discovery, our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values. In this case, I believe the two are not inconsistent. As a person of faith, I believe we are called to care for each other and work to ease human suffering. I believe we have been given the capacity and will to pursue this research -- and the humanity and conscience to do so responsibly.
It's a difficult and delicate balance. And many thoughtful and decent people are conflicted about, or strongly oppose, this research. And I understand their concerns, and I believe that we must respect their point of view.
But after much discussion, debate and reflection, the proper course has become clear. The majority of Americans -- from across the political spectrum, and from all backgrounds and beliefs -- have come to a consensus that we should pursue this research; that the potential it offers is great, and with proper guidelines and strict oversight, the perils can be avoided.
That is a conclusion with which I agree. And that is why I am signing this executive order, and why I hope Congress will act on a bipartisan basis to provide further support for this research. We are joined today by many leaders who have reached across the aisle to champion this cause, and I commend all of them who are here for that work.
Ultimately, I cannot guarantee that we will find the treatments and cures we seek. No President can promise that. But I can promise that we will seek them -- actively, responsibly, and with the urgency required to make up for lost ground. Not just by opening up this new front of research today, but by supporting promising research of all kinds, including groundbreaking work to convert ordinary human cells into ones that resemble embryonic stem cells.
I can also promise that we will never undertake this research lightly. We will support it only when it is both scientifically worthy and responsibly conducted. We will develop strict guidelines, which we will rigorously enforce, because we cannot ever tolerate misuse or abuse. And we will ensure that our government never opens the door to the use of cloning for human reproduction. It is dangerous, profoundly wrong, and has no place in our society, or any society.
Now, this order is an important step in advancing the cause of science in America. But let's be clear: Promoting science isn't just about providing resources -- it's also about protecting free and open inquiry. It's about letting scientists like those who are here today do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it's inconvenient -- especially when it's inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda -- and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology. (Applause.)
By doing this, we will ensure America's continued global leadership in scientific discoveries and technological breakthroughs. And that is essential not only for our economic prosperity, but for the progress of all humanity.
And that's why today I'm also signing a Presidential Memorandum directing the head of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to develop a strategy for restoring scientific integrity to government decision-making -- (applause) -- to ensure that in this new administration, we base our public policies on the soundest science; that we appoint scientific advisors based on their credentials and experience, not their politics or ideology; and that we are open and honest with the American people about the science behind our decisions. That's how we'll harness the power of science to achieve our goals -- to preserve our environment and protect our national security; to create the jobs of the future, and live longer, healthier lives.
As we restore our commitment to science and expand funding for promising stem cell research, we owe a debt of gratitude to so many tireless advocates, some of whom are with us today, many of whom are not. Today, we honor all those whose names we don't know, who organized and raised awareness and kept on fighting -- even when it was too late for them, or for the people they love. And we honor those we know, who used their influence to help others and bring attention to this cause -- people like Christopher and Dana Reeve, who we wish could be here to see this moment.
One of Christopher's friends recalled that he hung a sign on the wall of the exercise room where he did his grueling regimen of physical therapy. And it read: "For everyone who thought I couldn't do it. For everyone who thought I shouldn't do it. For everyone who said it's impossible. See you at the finish line."
Christopher once told a reporter who was interviewing him: If you came back here 10 -- "If you came back here in 10 years, I expect that I'd walk to the door to greet you."
Now, Christopher did not get that chance. But if we pursue this research, maybe one day -- maybe not in our lifetime, or even in our children's lifetime -- but maybe one day, others like Christopher Reeves might.
There's no finish line in the work of science. The race is always with us -- the urgent work of giving substance to hope and answering those many bedside prayers, of seeking a day when words like "terminal" and "incurable" are potentially retired from our vocabulary.
Today, using every resource at our disposal, with renewed determination to lead the world in the discoveries of this new century, we rededicate ourselves to this work.
Before I sign, I want to just note the people who are on the stage with me. In addition to our outstanding Secretary of Energy, Secretary Chu; we also have Dr. Patricia Bath; we have Dr. H. Robert Horvitz; we have Dr. Janet Rowley; Dr. Harold Varmus, who's going to be the co-chair of my President's Council on Science; we've got Dr. Michael Bishop; and we also have Dr. Peter Agre. So these are an example of the outstanding scientists who we hope will guide us through this process in the years to come.
And with them standing beside me, I'd also like to invite some of my colleagues from Congress who have done just such extraordinary work to share in the limelight, because you guys are still going to have some work to do, and -- but it's because of the leadership of so many of you across partisan lines that we've been able to accomplish so much already.
So thank you very much, everybody. Let's go sign this. (Applause.)
(The executive order is signed.) (Applause.)
