The Ground Zero Mosque

Prudently Jealous — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 15:02:54 +0000

A mosque at the site where nearly 3,000 innocent people were murdered on 11 September, 2001. I have been thinking about this ever since I first heard about it last week. How do I feel about this? At first I was outraged. Really angry. What I didn’t expect was that as the day wore on and I thought more and more about the religious freedoms we hold so dear, I began to soften. I began thinking they have every right to have a mosque. They have every right to open their mosque right there where so many perished at the hands of that very religion. Yes, I thought; they have a right. THEN I READ THIS ARTICLE. This is NOTHING but a sign of conquest to the zealots who praise the deeds carried out that fateful day. This is not about religious freedom, but about the twisted notion of religious domination. I am pissed again. I hope the idea of designating it a historic landmark works and stops the opening of this place of hateship.

Just So You Know…

Just so you all know; posting by PJ will be slow for the next few weeks or so. Last week a trip to Arizona (the Land of Enlightenment)put me out of touch. In the coming weeks I will be in my busy season with work. Not much free time. By the end of June I should be back to a normal schedule. Keep checking back though, or get the FEED for new posts as OMB may be able to put some things together, though I know work has him busy right now as well…I will write whenever possible or circumstances demand it! ~pj

Congressman Tom McClintock to Mexico President Calderon

Prudently Jealous — Fri, 21 May 2010 16:28:10 +0000

Well this will be the video of the day I am sure. Republican Congressman Tom McClintock of California responded to the President of Mexico who yesterday lectured our congress on how to un-enforce OUR laws. Congressman McClintock speaks the truth and shames the left in their ovation of a totally inappropriate speech by a foreign dignitary.
Good for you Tom McClintock! We need more like you!

A.G. Holder and Arizona’s Enforcement Law

Prudently Jealous — Fri, 14 May 2010 04:09:48 +0000

So we have now found out that Attorney General Eric Holder has not read the new Arizona law. Well, well how typical. Right after the bill was signed late last month Holder was all about how it was going to be challenged in the courts and there were a number of options under consideration.
Here he is, THE Attorney General of the United States. He has not read the bill, but has offered his opinion on it freelysee here and here.
I am not the Attorney General of the United States, but I have read the new Arizona Law. I read it as soon as I could find it because it was important.
I would like to know one thing: DOES ANYONE IN WASHINGTON DC KNOW HOW TO READ???

You’re a Grand Old Flag

Prudently Jealous — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:12:04 +0000

…you’re the emblem of the land I LOVE! The home of the free and the brave!…”

You’ve got to love that line! But I am diverted.

A Bloomberg story this morning reports the sale of a Jasper Johns painting of the American flag for $28.6 million at auction!
The painting came from the estate of the late Michael Chrichton who originally obtained the painting directly from his long time freind artist Jasper Johns.

Wow. Where do you hang that?

I don’t see the problem.

Thomas Paine on Amnesty and the Rule of Law

Prudently Jealous — Tue, 11 May 2010 17:01:58 +0000

I saw this at Moonbattery. It is worth the 5 minutes it takes for him to explain the so-called “complex issue” of illegal aliens.

A message to every country in the world”…overcome us with numbers and our pandering politicians will see you as future voters to cement their power base…” etc. Exactly.

Where are Nancy’s Tears Now?

Prudently Jealous — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:08:32 +0000

Everybody remembers the disgusting display of the absolute worst acting ever by Nancy Pelosi:

So much emotion! OMG she is frightened of the rhetoric!

Quick! Someone get Nancy a hanky! She must be crying now that there have been actual acts of violence!
Oh wait. Those aren’t tea partiers.

What is Coming

Prudently Jealous — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:30:18 +0000

The American Thinker today has an article posted by Vasko Kohlmayer entitled ” The Dollar’s Inevitable Demise”. In pointing out the facts of the size of our current debt($13 trillion) and the size of our current entitlement liabilities ($104 trillion) for a total of $117,000,000,000,000 and our current economy ($14 trillion) Kohlmer puts it to us this way;

“There is only one conclusion that reasonably can be drawn on the basis of these figures: The American federal government is simply not in the position to make good on its obligations.”

Read the article.

California Cities Want to Boycott?

Prudently Jealous — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:43:42 +0000

Arizona’s new law Senate Bill 1070 was signed into law this week by AZ Governor Jan Brewer. May Day protests are planned across the country. Now comes the fun part. California, particularly the cities of San Francisco, and San Diego are calling for boycotts of Arizona. Does no one see this as ironic? California a state which is coming apart at the seams financially, wants to boycott? I have to laugh! I haven’t found the numbers on California’s budget as it applies to illegal aliens. However there is a lot of information to be found at FAIR. I don’t think it actually takes an accounting degree to figure out that when you have a large population which does not contribute to the income tax base and yet requires services, you will come up short. This may or may not be the biggest drain on California’s budget, but the fact is, it doesn’t help. If the number is even five billion a year, isn’t that too much for a state in financial crisis?
So Arizona has passed an enforcement law. Arizona is trying to protect it’s citizens not only from crime (which by definition an ILLEGAL ALIEN brings with him) but also from the fiscal impact of services, incarceration, education etc. which comes along with illegal immigration. So California, how about you just shut up. After all, it will be the rest of the country that bails you out when you can no longer function independently. I, as part of the rest of the country don’t appreciate it. When you get your act together then maybe the rest of the country will give you an ear. As for me, I am heading to Arizona in two weeks. I’ll probably spend some of my money there, and on the way home I will not pass through California. ***And by the way Mexico, you can shove your warnings about people being mistreated by our police. If you care so much about your people, maybe you should clean up your own mess so your people would want to stay in their own country! And that goes to all countries who want to protest how the U.S. handles illegal immigration!
