PiggPower!

I present the following news stories:

British banks are banning piggy banks because they may offend some Muslims. Halifax and NatWest banks have led the move to scrap the time-honoured symbol of saving from being given to children or used in their advertising, the Daily Express/Daily Star group reports here.

Politicians in British West Midlands banned the display of toy pigs and other pig-related items in municipal offices as a result of a single complaint from a Muslim. Among the banned items were piggy banks, novelty pig calendars and a tissue box featuring Winnie the Pooh and Piglet

Police in central England seized a collection of porcelain pigs from a house's window sill after Muslims complained that they were offensive.

In Orlando, Florida, a Christian employee of a business owned by a Muslim was fired for eating a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.

Some British schools have also removed or restricted the following 'anti-Muslim' children's books... The Three Little Pigs, Charlottes Web, Babe:The Sheep-pig, Cars and Trucks and Things That Go, Olivia Saves the Circus, Animal Farm."

Well, Dear Reader, you know the Your Humble Correspondent of the Truth can't give this kind of behaviour a pass, right? This blatant "pig-ism" cannot go unpunished!

So, here's a tribute to all my friends of the " religion of peace".

p.s. Lest you think I am anti-Muslim, .....you're right! I am!

Islamofascism is the biggest threat we face today.

Be a good American....insult a Muslim today!

It's Time For Something New

I wish I were rich.

If I were, I would start a new political party immediately. We need one.

Because the Democrats and Republicans have lost their way. I no longer have faith in either party. The Republicans are Democrat-lite and do not represent my interests or ideas.

So without further adieu, here are my ideas for a new political party;

* It would be called the Common Sense Party and it's platform would reflect that...common sense solutions for the problems of Government.

* First order of business? Term Limits for Congress. Instead of perpetually running for office, they might actually get something done for a change. This was never meant to be a career.

(see Strom Thurmond)

* A return to the Federalist system. The Federal Government would be responsible for national defense, interstate infrastructure and foreign relations and not much else. State law should take precedent in entitlement programs (very few), and laws governing our behaviour now administered by the Feds.

* A percentage, say 10%, of all taxes levied should go towards military defense. This way, liberals would not be able to decimate our military unless they are willing to cut taxes. (This would be in addition to regular healthy funding of the military)

* Hand in hand with that, compulsory enlistment in the military or in a civilian corp of engineers, for all Americans at age 18 for a period of two years. Although at first blush this looks a bit "communistic", I believe this would imbue a sense of patriotism and national spirit as well as ensure a well staffed military. Another benefit? It's harder to commit crimes against someone who may have served with you or a family member ( I expect to get some flack for this idea!)

* Tax reform. Either a national sales tax or a flat tax for income. Taxes should be no more than a religious tithe - 10%. If Jesus can get by on 10%, then by God, so can Uncle Sam.

*A 6 month long review of all spending programs currently in place. Unless it directly contributes to the national "good of the people", it should be cut. If the University of Bumwad wants to spend $11 million on a study of the mating habits of cold-water salamanders, let the alumni pony up the money, not me or you.

* Charity for the poor (now known as Welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, etc., etc. ) should be short term and once in a lifetime. If you use it for 6 months, that's it. No more. Period.

Sorry scumbags, the free ride is over.

* Abolish Social Security now. Take all money in it now (if there is any) and distribute it to all participants as they have contributed. Let people invest for retirement as they see fit. If they decide not to save anything for retirement, then they will be poor. Their choice, their consequence. See, common sense, right?

* Foreign policy: Let's not be everyones buddy nor everyones protector. We should protect that which is of national interest, but let's not go to war to secure the mining rights for one or two companies. That being said, when we as a country decide that our national interests demand aggression towards another country, let us never be a nation of poll takers. If it is a just cause, we should approach it like someone attacked our mother or sister...namely, fight like there is no tomorrow (think WWII) and don't stop until the enemy is vanquished. Then....take his land.

What happened to this concept? Did we relinquish Texas and California after defeating Mexico? No.

Did we give up the Philippines and Cuba when we defeated the Spanish? Yeah, we did. Bad move.

* Immigration: Do you take your front door off the hinges and just let anybody roaming the area enter your house? Of course not. You invite people or occasionally people ask to come over and you agree

Why should we as a country be any different? Close the door America. And use the peephole.

* End MultiCulturalism forever. No nation has survived that exists as a divided culture. We do not need to be inclusive of all ethnicities and cultures. We have a melting pot, not a salad bar.

* Live by the Constitution as written. No more amendments. No more interpretation of it as a living document. It says what it means and means what it says.

The Founding Fathers were smarter than we will ever know and they wrote the Constitution for the ages, not just for the short term.

They knew that less government is better government. They knew that men will always try to subvert it to their own nefarious ways and they built in protections for that. We of succeeding generations have tweaked it to our own short sighted purposes and have damned near destroyed it.

Well, I'm sure I will come up with more ideas for my fledgling party. I would like to know what you, Dear Reader, would like to see in our platform. Comment here or email me and I will add those ideas to these here. Hell, who knows, maybe someone with funding will see this and we can start to change the country we love.

Patriotically Yours,

An Open Invitation To Black People

On Wednesday, the new Attorney General Eric Holder, the nation's first black AG, said the United States was a "nation of cowards" on matters of race. He suggested that while the nation's workplaces were mostly integrated, on the week-ends we "self-segregate". He stated that we were cowards because we refused to discuss the thorny matters of race with each other and with people of different races than us.

"If we're going to ever make progress, we're going to have to have the guts, we have to have the determination, to be honest with each other. It also means we have to be able to accept criticism where that is justified," Holder told reporters after the speech.

In the speech, Holder urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for honest discussion of racial matters, including issues of health care, education and economic disparities.

Even when people mix at the workplace or afterwork social events, Holder argued, many Americans in their free time are still segregated inside what he called "race-protected cocoons."
"Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad," said Holder

Well, Mr. Holder, in the spirit of bipartisanship, I would like to extend an open invitation to any and all black people to come to my house this week-end for a barbeque.

But first, there are a few things we gotta get straight:

* First, be careful what you call me. Although in the past I have been OK with White, and Caucasian, and Euro-American, you just never know what mood I'm in today. I guess you could just call me a fellow American and we both would be happy, huh?

* In accordance with the current government policies, those of you with really dark skin will be fed first. Those of you with lighter skin will have to wait and take what food is left. Because skin color is a great way to determine who gets what and when.

* Don't be surprised when our son shows up looking like a homeless gangster. Pay no attention to the fact that he's rifling through your cars and purses while you're not looking. He just needs drug money for him and his baby momma.

I tell ya...he's our pride and joy! He's just misunderstood. In fact, he's so resourceful, I think you ought to give him a job with your company.

Of course our other son is a hard working young man with a college degree. We don't like to talk about him.

*Most of all though, remember this: No matter how well we get along this week-end, if you and I ever disagree, I will know in my heart it's because I'm white. It has nothing to do with the fact that sometimes my behaviour is atrocious. You never really liked me in the first place.

p.s. I'm not a coward Mr. Holder. I am ready, willing and able to discuss ALL matters of race with anyone, anytime. I will not shy away from any topic, including personal accountability. Although I'm not sure you and your ilk will like what I have to say.

" I'm Just A Bill....

...sitting here on Capitol Hill. And I could change the way your world works and how you live your life and how your money is spent. But most of you know nothing about me."
Any of you Dear Readers who lived grew up in the 70's know very well the Schoolhouse Rock cartoon I am referencing.
(Those of you too old or young to recognize it, I will include it at the bottom of this post.)
*DISCLAIMER*: I am guilty as hell of not being involved in civics for 40 plus years and only recently have seen the absolute necessity of doing so.

Having said that, I cannot stress enough how important it is, especially with the current administration, to stay involved and find out as much as possible about the bills being proposed in Congress.

AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!! Back in the day, the only way you could find out about the goings on in Washington was to read the newspaper or watch TV. Well, we know that the Mainstream Media is NOT going to give us the truth but luckily we now have the Internet and everything you ever wanted to know is literally a few mouse clicks away.

A great site that I found is http://www.opencongress.org/

This site lists all bills proposed and being considered in the House and it lets you track the progress of the bill, tell you who sponsored it and gives the full text of the bill.

People, please, please....make it a habit, make it a part of your daily ritual to go to this site or another like it and find out what the loons in Washington are up to. Then email, write or call your Representatives and Senators and let then know how you feel. Believe me, the one constant in Washington among Congressmen is a sense of self-preservation.

I will give you an example of how enlightening this website is. Did you know that on Jan. 6th, 2009 Rep. Jose Serrano (D - NY) proposed H.J.Res 5 which seeks to repeal the 22nd amendment to the Constitution, the amendment that limits Presidential terms to two?

In other words, Obama could be President for Life if this passes. Did you hear ONE WORD about this in the Mainstream Media? Nope. And you never will.

Also, H.R. 45, Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 which would institute a Federal firearms license that would require, among other things, a thumbprint, a photo, and a mental health report to own a firearm!!

I'm not sure what sage said "Knowledge is Power" but never have these words been more true or more important.

Democracy depends on a well informed populace and we are contributing to our own downfall if we don't get involved in our Government.

THEY DO NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART.

Let's return to a government .." Of the People, By the People, For the People " before it's too late.

A Penguin Named Simon

First of all, I hope everyone received the email that this blog will now be at www.warpigg.com. It will take a few days to show up there so please be patient.


Now, the following Video on YouTube was made by a very special Dear Reader, Aaron, at his college to use as a promotional device for the College TV Station.
It consists of a Penguin named Simon riding a decrepit old scooter around campus, evidently just waving to people and at one point Simon seems to launch a parachute.
After watching it, I not only had to pick myself up off the floor, but I re-remembered a lesson first learned in 3rd grade....namely, liquid can and will shoot out your nose when confronted with hilarity.
Watch and enjoy!

A Drunken Follow-Up Call to Hollywood

I broke up with Hollywood some time ago (see Dec. 19 post). And just like with an ex-girlfriend, a few months later you realize more stuff about them that pissed you off and even though the relationship is over, you drunkenly feel compelled to call at 3:00 a.m. and just let that little slut know what you really think of her.

Well, Hollywood, you continue to give me reason to call. The latest reason? Ashley Judd.

Man, I used to think this one one of Hollywood's hottest women. She had it going on. Nice rack, pretty face and being kind of a country girl, I just assumed she had good ol' hometown values like me.

Silly Rabbit. She's just another Leftie Loon like all of Hollywood.

Ms. Judd came out yesterday with a blistering attack against Sarah Palin for supporting aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska. Citing its cruelty to the wolf, she paints the Governor of the Great State of Alaska as some maniacal killer, flying through the air in her 'copter, grinning and spraying bullets, screaming "Die wolf, die!"

Well, according to the Alaska Fish and Game Department, aerial wolf control is a necessary means to protect moose and caribou populations, and it takes place in a whopping 9% of the state, and then only when natural means of thinning the wolf population have failed.

But Lefty Loons never let facts get in their way of a Good Cause. You see, a Good Cause is as important and common in Hollywood as a good glass of Chardonnay. These dim-witted twits have to have a cause de jour or all they would be left with is their own meaningless existence.

Well Hollywood, it's really over this time. I don't need you anymore. And just like an ex-girlfriend, the longer you are without them, the more you realize how much you didn't need them in the first place. And just like my imagination and hand lotion make a suitable substitute, so do my imagination and a good book.

I don't need you anymore.....bitch!

Oh yeah, one more thing Hollywood, I found a new girl.

She's hot, with a nice rack, pretty face and good ol' hometown values....and she flies through the air in her 'copter, grinning maniacally, spraying bullets, screaming " Die, wolf, die!"

Now that's a real woman.
