Do We Care?

So we have big Al Gore trying in the news, do we really care?
Now Al Gore is getting on President Obama for opting against tougher air pollution standards.
Just shut up Al!

Guess he is trying to make noise before he goes into hibernation for the winter. BTW, Al we are experiencing an unusually cool spell - I know it's global warming, NOT!

Now Gore blasts Obama over pollution regs

Jobless Rate Climbs & The Experts are "EXPECTANTLY" Ignorant!

The jobless rate continues to climb and the "experts" continue to be surprised by the UNEXPECTED findings. Who are these idiots? A six year old would know what to expect and would certainly understand years of using the world UNEXPECTED was fooling knowing!
U.S. employers added 18,000 workers in June, the fewest in nine months, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly climbed, indicating a struggling labor market.

Selfish non-Caring Attitudes

...are everywhere!
You are on vacation, a criminal breaks into a spree resulting in innocent people dying- Some died to protect you, I might add. So what is the first thing you think about?

The families of those dead, Thanks for those who put their life on the line for you, Thank God we are okay, or Pray for God to help those hurt - OH NO, NO, NO, you think "our world didn't got our way and we want something for it!".

Not sure what is more tragic, the deaths involved in this or the display of what appears to be the new national priority "me first and always"!

May GOD help us....and those suffered loss and tragedy this holiday weekend in Memphis!

An Idea...

...police your own before you tell us how to live our lives!

Those who seek to run our lives
Barack Obama tells us we are greedy and selfish, Nancy Pelosi compares some of us to Nazis, Dick Durbin compared our soldiers to the Soviets who ran the gulags. Still others call us racist if we disagree with them. Any time you turn on the TV you can find some politician lecturing us and wagging his finger in our faces, telling us how we should live our lives.

Memphis' Ties Record High Set in 1977

Memphis' Sunday temperature ties record high set in 1977 » The Commercial Appeal

If you believe the heat is due to "man-made climate change" and in no way is related to cycles in the weather - Please tell me what was going on in 1977...come on give it a shot!
When the thermometer hit 99 degrees at 1:53 p.m. at Memphis International Airport, it tied a record set in 1977.
How about fifty-eight years ago...you know when not every family even had a car, and if they did they had one...
On Wednesday, the high is expected to reach 97, which would tie the record set in 1953
Come on, I want to hear it - The Global Warming fanatics can tell me how and when we (human beings) will destroy the world, but they cannot explain why there are still record highs over 100 years old, nor can they accurately tell me what the weather is going to do tomorrow!

Bring It On

In the article linked below the author suggest:
climate-change deniers to have their opinions forcibly tattooed on their bodies.
First, I say try it... then after thinking about it, how about a trade? I may be willing to proudly display "denier", if the author (or you should the shoe fit) will proudly display IDIOT on their forehead, or maybe MINDLESS FOLLOWER, maybe FEAR MONGER...

Give Me a Break

Doomsday predictions are a laughing matter for those who believe, it is the arrogance man to think we know or have any control over "the end of times" - AND I am referring/including the doomsday global warming fanatics in the laughing matter.
Doomsday predictions no laughing matter for some - USATODAY.com
A doctor is quoted
"We actually like to see people failing and being belittled in public," Dutton says
Though the comment is unfortunately all to true, how does this apply to planning, preparing, changing your life based on something a MAN has told you... This isn't the poor guy accidentally busting a ketchup bag on himself, or a victim of a practical joke...idiots that change everything on a doomsday prediction, living as they are cheering for it. Why else would you plan for the end...and the only plan to have is the gift salvation, by the way!

Do You ONLY Want State Approved Media and Information?

So Washington has a problem with misinformation on the internet - One of the best liars in politics is who they send out to advocate an agency to police it -
Bill Clinton doesn’t like all the misinformation and rumors floating on the Internet
So who is going to police them?

No, politicians can't be trusted, which has been proven many times and one of the reasons the internet has grown so quickly - Well lying politics and lying "main stream media", another bunch unworthy of trust!

No, I prefer to take my chances deciding who I should believe and who I shouldn't - I DO NOT need/want "state approved media/information"!

Flooding

Well today is the day, or at least it is supposed to be the day the river hits it's highest levels...

We pray for the city and all those directly affected. Luckily our business location, though mentioned in the food zone, should be safe.
The main Memphis airport was not threatened, nor was FedEx, which has a sorting hub at the airport that handles up to 2 million packages per day.

Don't Apply to Him

Obama proves he really believes he is above the constitution! I have always thought "squaring away" our courts and local government representatives should be the priority - Our president has jumped to the front, got to go ASAP (2012).

Some excerpts:
he would not abide by the section of the law defunding the establishment of so-called "czars."
