COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Ok, You Rich Liberal A-Holes, Pony Up or Shut Up



Frankly, I can't stand Warren Buffet, Bill Gates or Stephen King and most of the liberal media types who carp about the rich not paying enough taxes, but do nothing to show us the way. If they have convictions about the government deserving more money, let them get out the checkbook and take one for the team. Actually, like most bullshit artists, they do just the opposite and go to great lengths to set up charitable foundations to protect their loot from guess who? Yes, Warren, yes Bill, write a voluntary check to the US Treasury and lead by example. Better yet, shut up.


Show us the money.

  5. Can't help it, I think it was Quirk poo-pooed the idea about wolfs and school bus stops --

    Wolves reported near Kamiah bus stop
     January 15th, 2010
     (0) comments
    By Eric Barker of the Tribune
    Hunting outfitter says three animals appeared shortly after school bus stopped and
    picked up his children
    A man who lives near Kamiah reported seeing three wolves near his children's bus stop recently.
    Mike Popp, a hunting outfitter who lives on Glenwood Road east of Kamiah, said he is worried the wolves
    are becoming too habituated to people and running out of a natural prey base. Seeing a wolf is not unusual
    for him or his family. Popp guides hunters and frequently runs across the animals. He has also had them on
    or near his property on a regular basis and has long worried about the effects on elk and moose. But seeing
    them near the bus stop was different.
    "We see wolves. Wolves kill our dogs, they chase our horses," Popp said. "It's just a given in the last five
    years but I think gosh darn it when they walk up to the bus stop like that ... the kids is what worries me."
    Popp took his children to their bus stop Monday morning and sat in his jeep while his 6- and 8-year-olds had
    a snowball fight. The bus pulled up, stopped and flashed its lights. The kids got on and the bus driver pulled
    into a driveway to turn around. When the driver backed up, the bus emitted warning beeps. After it pulled
    away, three wolves came out of the woods and walked down the road toward Popp.
    He started his jeep and drove toward the animals. They left the road and Popp followed their tracks to see
    where they had come from. He said it was clear they were sitting in the woods about 30 feet away from the
    road prior to the arrival of the bus.
    "While we were there at the bus stop and those kids were snowball-fighting I know they could hear, and they
    just sat there," he said. "They are really becoming habituated to all the sights and sounds that are out there."
    He said the sound of the kids yelling, the bus pulling up and backing up might be something they are keying
    on, and he fears their familiarity with people could lead to tragedy.
    "That is what hit home," he said. "On Glenwood Road there are over 20 kids getting on the bus every
    morning."
    He reported the incident to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and to local school officials.
    Wolves were removed from federal protection this year and Idaho has an ongoing hunting season on them.
    But the Dworshak Wolf Hunting Zone where Popp lives closed after its quota of 18 wolves was met. Even
    so, Dave Cadwallader, director of the Clearwater Region of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game at
    Lewiston, said people can shoot wolves to defend the lives of people or their animals.
    "I think it's no different than a mountain lion or a bear, if you feel threatened and in imminent danger then
    you are able to protect yourself," he said. "There just has to be some reasonable judgement and common sense.

  10. A little catharsis in the morning.
    Last story.

    Wolves kill our dogs
    And do they!

    My old realtor, guy from Boise originally, guy who lived in a tent first year here on an old farmer's land, told me about some friends from Boise that had a couple really high class hounds -thousands of dollars in those dogs. Fitted out with GPS and audio transmitters they took off after a big cat one day. They could hear them baying, finally the cougar got treed, but the baying stopped after awhile. What's up with this? Using the GPS they finally located the cougar in the tree, the hounds all torn up bloody in the snow. Wolfs got 'em. :)

    They hate dogs, among other living things. And they ran the lobos out of Idaho.

    Cute little suckers when they are young, though.

    That's all.

  11. Buffett is full of shit, a lousy judge of men's sportswear but the maestro of financial manipulation at taxpayers expense:

    Buffet leveraged the financial crisis in 2008 to make beneficial investments buffered by tax payer money, a lot of it, over $26 billion of Berkshire's money is invested in eight different financial institutions that have benefitted from the largesse in the form of TARP and FDIC's debt guarantee program.

    While he talks bullshit about his personal tax rate being too low, he has no qualms about using the money of lesser mortals further down the tax food chain, and actively encouraged the bailout by the government. When Obama wanted to levy a bank tax to recover tax-payer money, Warren demurred.

    He is a dick.

  14. Sure, it is all about the dogs and the kitties.

    Last year, In "humane" shelters alone, approximately 3-4 million cats and dogs were euthanized. They are usually buried in masse or incinerated.

    The few dogs eaten by wolves, were eaten alfresco. Perhaps you see the difference. Just as you crave elk, they crave dog, literally dog-food.

    By coincidence the European explorers Lewis and Clark also had a fondeness for eating dog and actively sought them out from the Indians.

    If he fears for the safety of his children, they should not be left alone, on the side of the road.
    Especially in rural areas, where wolves roam free.

    Since the numbers of wolves legally taken does not even approach the number of permits available, it is obvious that this is a "manufactured crisis", on the part of the Idaho government and the wackos on the "right".

    They have bag limits, and an interest in keeping the herd up in numbers. In the lottery of all that is for them, they are much better, much much better off with the tenderer mercies of the two legs.

    Besides your antlers, if you have any, might end up over some fireplace. You might attain a kind of semi-immortality this way, and people would go "ahh, what antlers."

    Then you come up with story told to you third hand about a cougar, some hounds, and a pack of wolves no one actually saw.

  32. Donald Trump, whose ego is even bigger than his poofy combover. He has stomped onto the GOP tundra, crashing through all the namby-pamby pseudo-candidates too frightened to criticize Mr. Obama for skyrocketing gas prices, trillion-dollar deficits, or even declaring war without congressional approval.

    The Donald absolutely killed at the Conservative Political Action Conference last month with non-campaign-tested verbiage like this: “I love this country, but this country is going to hell. I would run a great, great country. This country will be great again. It is not great right now. We have huge deficits, we have huge unemployment, we have huge problems. And we’re not respected. We’re not respected in the world. The world laughs at us. They won’t be laughing if I’m president.”…

    ...Mr. Trump is doing the one thing all the other candidates are terrified of: Going straight at Mr. Obama. He doesn’t believe the oft-repeated claim by the MSM that Mr. Obama is “unbeatable” in 2012. He doesn’t think Mr. Obama is the greatest orator since Cicero (you don’t see Mr. Trump with a teleprompter). And he thinks voters will understand when he lays out the complexities that America now faces.

    For those GOPers huddled and shivering in the wings, take note. Americans hate timidity - and they hate being talked down to, lied to. Fail to heed Mr. Trump, and you’ll find yourself stumping for him next fall.

    The following is a comment from dwr's post on the Idaho legislature declaring a disaster emergancy (that's right it said a 'disaster emergancy') over the wolves.

    From Luke,

    I have hunted my whole life and I have seen 1st hand what the wolves do to the elk herds. up to the year 2000 we had an awesome overwintering elk population north of warm lake. That area is a prime overwintering area. We could go any day and see 250 to 350 head of elk during the spring and not afraid of us at all....

    ...spring 2006. We saw a whopping 5 elk during a five day hike. they see movement and run like a bat out of hell.


    So not only are the wolves hard to spot, but now even the elk have wised up and are actually avoiding the hunters.

    Life is hard.

  43. ‘Easter eggs' reportedly renamed ‘spring spheres' at Seattle public school
    Thomas Lifson
    The educrats strike again, and make themselves look ridiculous again, according to a 16 year old student identified only as Jessica, who volunteered to do a project at a local elementary school, supplying plastic eggs filled with jellybeans. From MyNorthwest.com:


    "I went to the teacher to get her approval and she wanted to ask the administration to see if it was okay," Jessica explained. "She said that I could do it as long as I called this treat 'spring spheres.' I couldn't call them Easter eggs."


    Rather than question the decision, Jessica opted to "roll with it." But the third graders had other ideas.


    "When I took them out of the bag, the teacher said, 'Oh look, spring spheres' and all the kids were like 'Wow, Easter eggs.' So they knew," Jessica said.


    If this story is true, as recounted by Jessica, it takes political correctness to a new height of absurdity.

    Posted on April 2, 2011 at 5:48 PM

    LA GRANDE, Ore. (AP) — A taste for winter wheat has killed about 250 young elk in Eastern Oregon.

    The Observer newspaper in La Grande reports the elk died because they had gorged themselves on winter wheat for months, and their digestive systems cannot break it down and absorb its nutrients.

    As a result, some died from starvation despite plenty of food. Most of the others likely died from disease after they were weakened by poor nutrition and other factors that compromised their immune systems.

    Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists say elk find winter wheat especially tasty from December through February when almost all the forage available is hard and cured. Once elk discover a winter wheat field, they just keep on eating.


    Damned farmers may be worse than the wolfs. It's possible though the field had been sprayed recently with some mean herbicide cause I've never heard of such a thing before. I doubt the Oregon Fish and Game is any better than ours. Gut full of wheat = the wheat done it, they conclude.

  52. Deuce is a Call of the Wild Kinda-guy.

    I get what it means to be a lone wolf.

    I love the story of the independence of a soldier and a hunter, deadly devoted to his clan, who can eak out a living off the land, with no weapons, no shelter, in any kind of terrain and weather. A soldier and entrepreneur that needs nothing but his wits strength and endurance to survive, thrive and provide for his own. Fearless when called for and smart enough to get out of dodge when the shit hits the fan.

    I always loved this story:

    "Buck, a Saint Bernard shepherd dog, lives a comfortable life in the Santa Clara Valley with his owner, Judge Miller. One day, Manuel, the Judge's gardener's assistant, steals Buck and sells him in order to pay a gambling debt. Buck is shipped to Alaska and sold to a pair of French Canadians named Francois and Perrault, who were impressed with his physique. They train him as a sled dog, and he quickly learns how to survive the cold winter nights and the pack society by observing his teammates. He and the vicious, quarrelsome lead dog, Spitz, develop a rivalry. Buck eventually bests Spitz in a major fight, and after Spitz is defeated, the other dogs close in, killing him. Buck then becomes the leader of the team.

    Eventually, Buck is sold to a man named Charles, his wife, Mercedes, and her brother, Hal, who know nothing about sledding nor surviving in the Alaskan wilderness. They struggle to control the sled and ignore warnings not to travel during the spring melt. They first overfeed the dogs, then when their food supply starts running out, they do not feed them at all. As they journey on, they run into John Thornton, an experienced outdoorsman who notices that all of the sled dogs are in terrible shape from the ill treatment of their handlers. Thornton warns the trio against crossing the river, but they refuse to listen and order Buck to mush or move on. Exhausted, starving, and sensing the danger ahead, Buck refuses and continues to lay in the snow not moving except for breathing and blinking. After being beaten by Hal, Thornton recognizes him as a remarkable dog and is disgusted by the driver's beating of the dog. Thornton cuts him free from his traces and tells the trio he's keeping him, much to Hal's displeasure. After some argument, the trio leaves and tries to cross the river, but as Thornton warned, the ice gives way and the three fall into the river along with the neglected dogs and sled.

    As Thornton nurses Buck back to health, Buck comes to love him and grows devoted to him. Buck saves Thornton when the man falls into a river. Thornton then takes him on trips to pan for gold. During one such trip, a man makes a wager with Thornton over Buck's strength and devotion. Buck wins the bet by breaking a half-ton sled out of the frozen ground, then pulling it 100 yards by himself, winning over a thousand dollars in gold dust. Thornton and his friends return to their camp and continue their search for gold, while Buck begins exploring the wilderness around them and begins socializing with a wolf from a local pack. One night, he returns from a short hunt to find his beloved master and the others in the camp have been killed by a group of Yeehat Indians. Buck eventually kills the Indians to avenge Thornton. After realizing his old life is a thing of the past, Buck follows the wolf into the forest and answers the call of the wild.
