A policeman is a composite of what all men are I guess, a mingling of saint and sinner, dust and diety. Culled statistics wave the banners over stinkers, underscore instances of dishonesty and brutality because they are news. What that really means is that they are exceptional, they are unusual, they are not commonplace. Buried under the froth are the facts and the fact is less that one-half of one percent misfit that uniform and that is a better percentage than what you’d find among clergymen.

My absentee ballot for next months special election has arrived in the mail and I have made it abundantly clear that I intend to vote NO on all propositions. Now, please understand, I have no aversion to paying my fair share of taxes. I know taxes are needed to pay for the services we expect. Police, fire, schools, etc.

I just dont want the taxes that I DO pay to be spent by lawmakers taking junkets around the world all in the name of doing the states business when I know good and well those junkets are for monkey business. (How do I know? Im a recovering news reporter!)

I dont want the taxes that I DO pay to be used to continue the salaries of termed out lawmakers by appointing them to cockamamie boards and commissions that only meet once a month, twice a month or once a year.yet pay six figure salaries for doing nothing. The governor has recommended getting rid of boards and commissions thatre duplicative of effort but democrat lawmakers object. (They want those board seats to be available when they get termed out or fail to win reelection.)

In 2004, a 275 member task force recommended eliminating 20 boards and commissions and eliminating 220 board and commission directors and their staffs. How much tax money could be saved? The head of Californias Labor and Workforce Development Agency, Victoria Bradshaw says It could be upwards of several hundred MILLIONS as well as BILLIONS going out in future fiscal years. But Democrat lawmakers object.

I dont want the taxes that I DO pay to be used by lawmakers to hire their wives, husbands, aunts, uncles (and girlfriends and other lovers) and refer to them as consultants on the states payrolls. I dont want the taxes that I DO pay to be used to secretly payoff victims who have filed sexual harassment lawsuits against lawmakers they work for.

So you see? There ARE cuts to be made which could solve this states fiscal crisis but lawmakers would rather take more money out of YOUR pocket to pay for their frivolity. They would rather threaten to cut police, sheriffs, highway patrol, fire protection, and education if we fail to agree to continue being ripped off. Thats what proposition 1A thru 1F is all about.

Leadership begins at the top. The necessary cuts should START at the top, but so far the leadership in Sacramento has been guilty of dereliction of duty. They would rather cut services for senior citizens, the blind, disabled, school kids –then threaten the rest of us if we fail to vote in favor of 1A thru 1F. According to the Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters, if the propositions fail, lawmakers will have few options beyond wholesale spending cuts in EDUCATION, HEALTH AND WELFARE SERVICES, and even PRISONS..to close the gap.

Few options? The governor knows better. The democrats controlling our state legislature know better—AND I KNOW BETTER!

Before I fill out my ballot, Ill wait to see if there is anyone in our state legislature with the guts to go public and admit THE CUTS SHOULD and WILL START AT THE TOP. When I see that happening, then and only then will I vote in favor of the propositions. Until then, its NO on 1A thru 1F.

Meet your friendly local Taliban. They are the new landlords of an area just outside Kabul called the Buner District (60 miles from the capital). These highly motivated maniacs plan on ruling Pakistan and their arsenal of nuclear warheads some day and they also plan on taking back Afghanistan. However, India might have other ideas, they are still rather upset over the Mumbai attack by Islamic radicals from Pakistan and probably wouldn’t be pleased if the Taliban were their new neighbors. We’ve been restraining India…one wonders why?

Meanwhile, the U.S. called on Pakistan’s military to fight the Taliban forces who have taken over territory near the capital, as alarmed U.S. officials considered whether an Islamist-backed rival of Pakistan’s president would defend the country more effectively from extremist forces.

Miss California was setup when she was asked a volatile political question during the Miss USA pageant by a judge who was openly gay.

The judge who goes by the name Perez Hilton (real name Mario Lavandeira), asked the contestant Carrie Prejean if every state should follow Vermont in legalizing same sex marriage. She said because of her Christian beliefs she could only support a marriage between a man and a women. WRONG ANSWER! Hilton was trying to force her to say she supported gay marriage and when she took exception she scored a ZERO. Later on he said she should have kept her politics to herself!

I just completed a Homeland Security course titled, Weapons of Mass Destructions, there’s a title that should grab you, eh? I’m sure we’ll be hearing those 4 words said a lot more in the near future too. Obviously I can’t discuss the details of the course, but I can give you some non-restricted info. public access info., that might shake you up, but its very enlightening.

Some of our classmates were involved in a risk assessment called HPAC, which stands for Hazard Prediction and Assessment Capability. HPAC was originally developed to predict the effects of certain hazardous materials (WMD’S) that could be released into the air then calculate the corresponding impacts on civilian and military.

It is highly debatable whether waterboarding constitutes torture. Navy Seals, Army Special Forces, and many other military people undergo waterboarding routinely as part of their training. Yes, it feels like you are drowning, but you really are not. Nobody ever drowned or suffered injury. It’s a bluff.

Now the word is out, and we could not use the bluff again even if it was allowed by the rules. The Islamic terrorists took a solemn religious oath to resist interrogation all the way up to the point of imminent death.

However, once death seemed imminent, their religious beliefs allowed them to cooperate without offense to Allah. That is why the interrogation methods worked.

They thought they were about to drown, so they could give up their evil plans. Now, of course, all the Al Qaida training camps are instructing these maniacs that the Ameicans were only bluffing.

This article was meant to dovetail with the article “Torture in Perspective”, but from the view of just your every day kind of citizen.

If we should be tough on terrorists, then how tough should that be? Should we put panty hose on their head and take pictures to embarass them? Maybe punching them moderately in the stomach would be ok? Just how far should we go to get cooperation from them? President Obama says no to water boarding and threatens to investigate those responsible. He says, we need to stop the rough treatment of terrorists and that means no force of any kind. I can’t help but think, of all the issues before the President this one should rank near the bottom of his priorities. And discussing secret interrogation tactics in public, what good can that do? I think the USA was far safer when our soldiers obtained information from terrorists under a policy of “Don’t ask – don’t tell”. We got results and nobody except our enemies was worse off for our rough efforts.

Who here does not know that maniacal Islamic terrorists are sworn to do their absolute worst to us?

They have proven this time and again and everyone should know by now terrorists, make that Islamic terrorists, will use any means available to hurt us, be it nuclear, biological, chemical, aircraft, kidnappings, beheadings, etc., Maximum destruction and panic is their objective and they have only one rule, do whatever it takes to destroy Americans.

Hungry? Snack on a handful of walnuts. It turns out walnuts provide a woman’s body with the essential omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and phytosterols that reduce the risk of breast cancer, according to researchers from Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia. Out here in walnut land we’ve got all kinds of varieties, Howards, Chandlers, Hartley, Tulare’s and more. These are the world’s best walnuts because they are raised in premium loam soil near the Sacramento river and the climate is just right. The end product is a rich meaty

A certain Obama supporter keeps asking those who disagree with him, to give reasons some of us disagree with Obama’s budget. We are challenged to show him anything in Obamas budget we may specifically oppose. Then the individual makes a statement like this, Can you say with certainty it is something that he could control but chooses not to? Many budget items cannot be adjusted by the president.

First off, his assumption that Obama is stuck and has no choice but to do what the budget calls for? That is a really strange statement to make, after all it is President Obama’s budget. He never had to write it, he never had to send it to Congress, and he never had to sign it.

A former associate of George Soros, at his Open Societies Institute, has been chosen as a high level advisor to Michele Flournoy, Undersecretary of Defense:

Soros Invades Pentagon, by Rowen Scarborough – Human Events

** It is in the person of Rosa Brooks, far-left former Los Angeles Times columnist. She was once counsel to billionaire Soros’ Open Societies Institute, whose funding arm bankrolls a number of hard-left pressure groups, such as MoveOn.org. MoveOn.org, of course, is the Washington outfit that smeared Gen. David Petraeus as a betrayer of his country, and depicted Bush in a Web ad as Adolph Hitler. *** The title means Brooks will have the constant ear of the Defense Department’s policy chief as Flournoy weighs in on the budget, troop deployments, secret missions and weapons buying. In the Pentagon bureaucratic elevator, every major decision flows through Flournoy’s shop on its way to the defense secretary. *** One Gates staffer told Human Events that Brooks is an “extremist.” The source emphasized she was Flournoy’s appointment, not Gates’. “Gates did not hire her,” the official said. **
