"Right back atcha, bitch!" says Israel, today. It's about time they start flexing some muscle to the media of the degree that the U.S. has the tendency to do. Israel quietly has the nuclear capability to not only wipe Iran off the map, but probably most of Europe and Russia as well if they had to.

Why the rest of the Middle East doesn't respect this is beyond me. It's pretty simple really. When it comes down to conflict in that region, don't f*** with Israel. There isn't another country in the world that has more intelligence and warcraft backing from the United States of America than they do.

Keep standing up for yourself, Holy Land. We're right behind you.

Jerusalem Post 'Iran can also be wiped off the map'

No Freaking Way.

Breaking news here, folks. I wonder if they put up another frequently inane FOX News Alert for this one. C'mon, FNC- you're better than this...

It's Because He's A Friggin' Looney!

Mission Impossible: III is not having the debut analysts expected. Could it be because moviegoers like myself are tired of the ludicrous media fanfare and aren't interested in futher supporting such a psycho idiot? Time will tell.

Head 'Em Up, Move 'Em Out

So... whenever a topic of interest comes up in the online forum community/message boards I belong to, members like to post an image of something in relation to it off Google Image Search for an added comic effect. Somebody starts talking about Hondas that have been hot-rodded with only stickers and a wing on the roof, and inevitably an image of a large box of Uncle Bens Wild Rice shows up 3 posts later.



So how insensitive would it be to post the image above (and furthermore you may falsely extrapolate it to the point I think the subjects at hand are weeds that need to be killed), when I chuckle as I read the linked article at the end of this post suggesting a round-up of illegal immigrants at these rallies next Monday? I don't subscribe to off-topic forums any longer as they killed far too much of the time I had my sophomore year of college that I realized better things to do. But I would have posted that image right after a cowboy lasso image likely posted right above it by some other student in Idaho. It becomes a game sometimes, but I digress.

Since I suppose that's the root (no pun intended) of this post, I've always thought that these staged rallies were the absolute perfect opportunity for federal and local law enforcement to come in and efficiently perform a sweeping dragnet. Think about it. All the illegal aliens are congregated in one spot, and they even let you know when and where they're all going to be at least a week in advance... by publishing it on the Internet! Even to the point that just in case you miss tens of thousands of people seizing traffic and disrupting economic commerce in the streets for the rest of us citizens trying to go about our normal days, they will even organize to all wear white t-shirts. Just how easy can it get? It's unfortunate Al-Qaeda doesn't make it this simple for the Dept. of Homeland Security. As they struggle to make it here, earning sub-minimum wage pay, I wonder how organizers expect this 'May Day' walkout to effect the economy (their objective) as if illegal immigrants are responsible for 31% of annual retail earnings or something. They expect the DJIA to tank two hundred points or something? Hurricane Katrina couldn't even really rock the system- what makes them think a few hundred thousand illegal immigrants with ten bucks in their pocket are going to ruin our economy when they 'disappear' for a day?

Yet of course, the only reason a dragnet as described hasn't been done is because the system here is too nice and panders too much to human rights special interest groups and fears backlash. And one of those interest groups backing a policy of amnesty is my own Roman Catholic Church... still not sure how to react to that one. But President Bush is also a member of that school of thought. Should I turn into a Protestant Democrat? Whoops! No, they're even more gung-ho about amnesty. WTF is going on here? The answer is: lots of fear over political correctness, against common sense and the way things ought to be. And not enough people coming out and telling it otherwise, like myself (I'd like to think, anyway), who usually have a "screw political correctness" mindset. That's what.

My answer? A 180-day (that's six months) notification given to get out of the United States before forced deportation is enforced by the DHS. That way, you can still escape back to your home country ASAP, and plenty of time at that, before being labeled as a criminal trespasser and arrested. Just because America is nice like that- it's tradition. Returning to your home country within this timeframe would also grant you 're-hire' status, if you will, to go home and earn citizenship the right way so you can come back legally. It would be nice if the Feds made that process more efficient and timely too, so perhaps a legal return to the U.S. could even come all within the same year.

Insensitive? Perhaps. But seeing as I'm not one who broke into this country and is trying to take advantage of the system to get something for nothing at others' expense, I could care less.

Throw 'Em Back

FLASHBACK:
This post was lifted from my now un-political personal weblog and may be dated.

And now for something completely disturbing... peace activists who were kidnapped in Iraq, taken hostage by insurgents, then rescued by Coalition forces whom saved their lives from likely beheadings, rape and torture. I'd be pretty happy toward my rescuers. But what was these stupid hippies' response?

"We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq. The occupation must end."

Welcome Aboard, Commie Scumbags

This weblog was created by force from a personal weblog. Basically, I decided there were too many feathers being ruffled with politics amongst the primarily personal news bits on my website (example: "my trip to Alabama last week was great, I had the oil changed in my SUV and my terrier mix just had puppies... but the f*cking illegal aliens have gotta go"), so I decided to seperate my personal and political lives online. My personal website just received a fresh revision, and it will now run clean as a whistle without stirring the political pot. For those musings, this place was created. Right now, I (Capitalist Pig) run it as a sole proprietor, but I've got a couple other folks I might bring on eventually to make things even more interesting.

What do you need to know about me thus far? I'm less than 50 years old, but older than 25. I proudly live in the United States of America. I have a business school education, but I'm not a doctor. I pay my taxes on time. I agree with President Bush 92% of the time. I am a devout Christian and usually side with Republicans. I am taller than you and my car is faster than yours. But big as my ego can get some times, I can still be a fallible schmuck. So I openly welcome comments of just about any nature to set me straight, or perhaps even give praise. You can post at will, but I reserve veto power if they're too over the top. I may be a fan of Democracy, but where immaturity thrives, silencing communism is enforced.

I can't promise how active this thing is going to be until it gets going, but if it's anything like the nasty comments I have been left on a regular basis back on my personal weblog, we shouldn't have a problem getting the ball rolling here. So sit back, buckle up, read the whole post before taking anything too seriously, and hang on. And blogroll us whenever you deem it worthy.

Let's roll.
