***LANGUAGE WARNING***
Hollywood jackass Jim Carrey thinks we need to know or that we care what his opinion is about guns and gun owners. He made a little song and video for us. I'll describe it for you: Blah, blah...2nd Amendment and those that support or recognize it are bad...blah, blah. Hee Haw...blah...Charlton Heston didn't go to heaven because the angels couldn't pry that gun from his cold, dead hands...blah, blah..."with your cold, dead, aim you try to prove your dick is bigger"..."you're a big, big man with a little bitty gland so ya need somethin' bigger to fill your hand"...blah, blah.....blah.....what an asshole.
Jim, how many armed guards protect you when you go out? How many armed guards do you employ? How many times have you glorified guns in your movies? You are just another in a long line of worthless Hollywood hypocrites. I'm so sick and tired of you and others like you feeling it is your duty to lecture the rest of us. Shut the fuck up. Go make your stupid little movies and keep including the exact same "jokes" and tired mannerisms that have been in all of your little shows and keep your sickening opinions to yourself. Nobody asked you for your opinion. Nobody cares about your opinion. Go plunge your face and make those same stupid faces that you used to practice in front of your mirror before anyone even knew your name. Keep doing that stuff. That's what you're paid to do. As for your opinions, take all of them and stick them up your ass. Nobody cares what you think!
"First Amendment ALL GOOD!
Second Amendment ALL BAD!"
Signed,
Jim Carrey
(Simpleton)
Gandhi, John Lennon, Abe Lincoln were all killed by gunfire. Ha ha. Cute joke including them in your little video, Jim.
Jim, GUNS are what made it possible for you to be a condescending, rude jackass who can disseminate his disturbed opinion freely.
If the country didn't get to see such fine images as these, how would we survive?
What kind of a fine mind does it take to come up with this? Jim Carrey as "Charlton Heston" using his gun as an extension of his penis. Wow. What about women that use guns? How does Jim's "penis logic" apply to us? Our usage of guns and support of the 2nd Amendment is an extension of what, Jimmy?
Jim Carrey as "Charlton Heston" attempting to masturbate his "gun".
Yes, I'd say Jim has more than just the one mental problem.
Right back at you, you douchebag.
Jim, it's got to be a bit surreal when you begin defining yourself via your own 20-year-old, not-in-demand movies:
Jim, if there's ever another revolution in this country, I know which side you'll be on...and that makes me happy.

Last night while in one of the closed (aka, inaccessible unless you are a member) Facebook groups of which I am a member, I participated in a discussion about whether or not it is Conservatives or Liberals who are actually "winning" online and about the supposed "censorship of Conservatives" by Facebook. I, a Conservative, contend that Facebook does NOT censor the posts of Conservatives. Below is the long reply I had to the mild insinuation by another member (who tolerates me well and shall remain unnamed here by me) that Facebook may be censoring Conservatives. (By the way, I had to post it as two separate comments because there is an 8,000-character limit on ALL Facebook comments.) It's now 3:20AM, I have to work in 4 hours, and I'm not going to edit the entire comment I just left on Facebook for purposes of posting it here on my blog. I'm posting it here essentially as I posted it just minutes ago posted it on Facebook.
Comment I left on Facebook regarding Facebook's purported "censorship of Conservatives":
As far as the "security scares".....UGH!
I'm going to be frank & hold nothing back here (this will be loooooooooong):
I'm SOOOOOOO SICK & TIRED of hearing this crap from conservatives!!! It's been going on for the past FOUR YEARS!!! Will it only STOP when an "republican" is in the damned white house again???
There are ALGORITHMS & "Anti-SPAM" technology that ALL of these damned companies (Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) use for implementing ALL of their "security measures". The fact that there are a SIGNIFICANT number of people in the conservative movement that ACTUALLY BELIEVE that Facebook, with their BILLION USERS, is actually MONITORING the posts of a FEW (relative to the BILLION users on Facebook) is downright embarrassing and disappointing.
IF you really want to know WHY so many conservative posts get flagged, it's because THE LIBERALS ARE FLAGGING THEM!!! Which is ONE OF THE REASONS I KEEP SAYING THAT WE'RE LOSING THE ONLINE BATTLE.
In the algorithms that these companies use, once a post has been flagged enough times (by the a$$holes on the left that DETEST an opposing point of view & believe that THEY are the ONLY ONES that should be able to express their opinions freely) it is "reported" or "marked as spam" (for lack of a better way to explain it - think of my explanation here as a "remedial" understanding/explanation of how this stuff works) and from that point on, once a post (a link) has been "flagged" or "marked", ANYTIME someone posts it (doesn't matter WHO posts it, they can be "restricted" for sharing SPAM by Facebook (or Twitter, or YouTube, or wherever)!
IT IS NOT THE CONTENT of the post. It is the DETECTION SOFTWARE/ALGORITHM THAT FACEBOOK and OTHERS are using that is the problem!!! (And, with them constantly being accused of censoring us, what the hell motivation do they really have to be "good actors" and FIX THE DAMNED PROBLEM??? Yes, that's a piss-poor excuse for them to NOT fix it. NO, I'm NOT making excuses for them. But, if YOU ran this company & were CONSTANTLY being accused of things you weren't doing, how motivated would YOU be to FIX it? I wouldn't be AT ALL.)
The long & the short of it is this: Liberals don't have to be TOLD to "report" something. Liberals don't have to be told HOW to report something. They see something with which they disagree and THEY REPORT IT!!! That's why there are so many MORE conservative postings that get brought to the attention of Facebook due to all the repeated reporting/flagging...for which those conservatives who then share those posts get punished. The same thing happens on YouTube. (I've not seen it personally on Twitter, but I'll bet my LIFE that the EXACT SAME THING happens there...and on every other social networking site that is in existence.) You just wait until the liberals inundate that new Tea Party site...they're going to have one hell of a time figuring out how to handle those jerks.
============
I've not been to the new Tea Party social networking site because I want to wait until they get all of their "bugs" worked out before I join it - it's still in its "beta" version - I want to wait a bit yet to join - maybe posts CAN'T be "flagged" or "reported" over there - which will be a HUGE mistake if that's the case - all kinds of libs POSING as conservatives (to make conservatives look bad) will inundate that site and post all kinds of awful racist, sexist, anti-woman, (you know the drill) stuff...it would be an absolute NIGHTMARE to deal with withOUT some sort of an algorithm that helps the site in removing that kind of disgusting content......because, even with their 50,000 members, NO ONE has the TIME to PHYSICALLY "monitor" everything that is posted! (Which is WHY algorithms are used!)
The new TP site was just posted on TheBlaze today: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/31/conservatives-launch-new-social-network-to-escape-facebook-censorship/ I'll promise you, liberals are going to FLOCK to it. It's going to go through some growing pains over the next few months...never mind the fact that Facebook will most likely SUE THEM for COPYING their premise/look/feel/functions. Yep. I'm waiting to join so that I don't waste yet more time on another "social networking" site as I did with FreedomTorch...what a joke that place turned out to be. Last time I was there (I don't even know it it still exists) it was over-run with birthers and people who bought into nearly every single conspiracy that exists. I HATE CONSPIRACIES, so I quit using it. There are ACTUAL THINGS that BO &/or his administration &/or Congress do on a daily basis that I don't WASTE MY TIME on conspiracies!!! And, I HATE seeing when others do!!! It's SUCH a WASTE!!!
============
If more conservatives would ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND HOW this stuff works online, they wouldn't be on the receiving end of all the "censorship", they'd be dishing it out (ie, reporting the left for their posts with which we disagree). OH, and one more thing...conservatives will have to become vindictive, evil, hateful, self-absorbed, whiny little bitches - in other words, they'd have to begin to ACT like liberals in order to begin "dishing it out" on Facebook & elsewhere. Trying to teach conservatives anything or lead conservatives ANYWHERE is like herding cats...so, good luck with that. I know this from the experience I gained in working with THIS GROUP.....WE QUESTION EVERYTHING. (Can't "teach" us...we have too many questions.) We FIND OUR OWN WAY to where we want to go. (Can't "lead" us...we already know how to get there.) Overall, it's a futile game trying to "organize" independent-thinking people. "Organizing" works VERY WELL with those on the left.....they don't have NEAR the questions that we do & they WANT SOMEONE TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO! I think some of them actually LIVE for it - they WANT "Big Brother" showing them the way. We don't trust like that - it's not in our DNA - we know to question everything - we don't want someone telling us what to do - we'll figure it out for ourselves - we "doubt" those that say they have all the answers - we don't like someone who thinks they DO have all the answers; WE actually mock them; the left ANOINTS them.
I've come to all these conclusions based on the experiences that I'VE had online...both on Facebook & on YouTube. I've probably posted more on Facebook over the past 4 years than 95% of conservatives that are ON Facebook. (My personal posting record was 138 posts on the day of the Obamacare vote - yes, I went back & counted them!) Just for the record - I've NEVER been prohibited from making my postings on Facebook. The ONLY time I've ever had ANY kind of "restriction" from posting on Facebook was when I was doing postings for our Earthquake group - I'd been posting the SAME LINK over & over & over & over again on a FEW pages I hadn't "liked" PRIOR to my posting those links on ALL those pages (probably 10-15 pages or so). I got a "warning to slow down" - I "slowed down" (stopped for the night) & then resumed posting after a couple of days - AND, WHEN I RESUMED POSTING, I "LIKED" all the pages I wanted to post on PRIOR to posting on them - I NEVER saw that warning again. Others say they did. I didn't. At that time several other members in our group were doing more posting on Facebook pages than I.
I HAVE seen that "warning" when going around to all the GROUPS I'm in - after I'd complete a blog post I'd go to 10- 15 different GROUPS (not PAGES) on Facebook and post the same LINK & comment in EVERY GROUP.....sometimes I'd have to fill-out that "captcha" thingy - BECAUSE OF THE LINK I WAS POSTING. Didn't matter that it was a link to MY blog or a link to a video on MY YouTube channel (all videos on YouTube have the same kind of url - there is ZERO specificity as to WHICH YouTube CHANNEL a url comes from. Every video has this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" followed by the video ID which is made-up of a series of numbers & letters. If that same video is embedded on a website, that url looks like this: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=" again, followed by the video ID. There is NO WAY of telling WHAT YouTube channel posted ANY particular video - until you actually VISIT the link. So, there was NO "CENSORSHIP" (warning) of my postings by Facebook for THE CONTENT of what I was posting. I received the "warning" and had to fill out the "captcha" because of the repetitive posting of SAME LINK (whether it was from my blog OR from my YouTube channel).
But, no one had time to "report" or "flag" my postings because they were freshly-created links! Then WHY did I see the "captcha"? BECAUSE OF THE ALGORITHMS UTILIZED BY FACEBOOK - in my particular case, posting freshly-created urls, it was the ANTI-SPAM technology that Facebook utilizes. It had ZERO to do with my CONTENT!!! (They couldn't TELL what the CONTENT was of the links I was posting to my YouTube videos.) And, again, I was prevented ONE TIME (because I stopped posting ON MY OWN after seeing the "warning" because I didn't WANT to be blocked from posting by fb) out of the thousands & thousands of times I've posted on Facebook (because I was posting the same link over & over & over on pages I had not "liked" BEFORE I posted on them).
Bah. I'm done for tonight/this AM. If you have questions, ask. I gotta go to bed.
Facebook isn't censoring conservatives. Period.
Liberals are WINNING by REPORTING conservatives TO Facebook. Exclamation point. ;)
Organizing Conservatives? Herding cats MAY be easier.

A school board in Montpelier, Ohio has exhibited so much common sense over the past few days that Obama may have to issue an executive order just to deal with them. What did they do? They are allowing their 4 custodians (only) to carry handguns in their school.
I think arming school personnel is such a good idea - I've actually been thinking about this for months. If I had my way, any staff member of every school in the country could be armed. (And, if they don't pass the background check what are they doing working in our schools?) I don't want anyone to be forced to carry a gun - I just want those who work in schools who would be willing to protect the innocent to be allowed to do so. (I actually have an accompanying idea that would require the "lockdown" of the gun - on the person - of all that carry guns in schools to make them inaccessible to everyone but the carrier. I'm not ready to share that idea just yet...I may never be. If/when I am, I'll post it here.)
Until guns appear with multiple, properly-trained adults at random locations within schools, your children are sitting ducks in their government-approved "gun free zones". No matter HOW the politicians decide to infringe upon the 2nd Amendment in the coming days, criminals will ALWAYS have guns.
Even if NO ONE in a school is willing to carry a gun to protect the innocent there is still, at the very least, the possibility that these killers that live among us won't know which schools have armed personnel in them...which is more than we have now. That information should NEVER be broadcast...or available for "public consumption" following a Freedom Of Information Law (FOIL) request...as lib-rot site Gawker and The Journal News have recently broadcast lists of registered handgun owners following FOIL requests in the state of New York.
EVERY school in the country should have MULTIPLE mounted signs that state something similar to this:
Having only one uniformed, armed person in every school as the NRA and the Obama administration(Sen. Barbara Boxer suggested this idea to Obama's gun-blood-hound VP Biden - but, since Biden doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground, who besides Obama cares what Biden reports to him in a few days?) is such a stupid idea to me that it is a blatant waste of time to even discuss it...but, here goes (if I must):
One person with one gun in each school is such a pathetic waste because everyone in that school will know where the ONE gun is at most times. If an attacker is a student of that school, he'll know where and when to enter the building and begin the murdering. If one of the kids that attends that school wants to shoot it up, they'll know where the officer is...and who the officer is, even if the officer is not wearing a uniform.
If the officer is at the opposite end of the school from where a killer begins their killing, what good will that one officer be able to do? Unknown numbers of innocent victims could be murdered before that one person with that one gun could take out the murderer.
If an officer can't make it to work on a particular day (due to snow - please note that the supposed existence of ONE armed officer in this school did NOT deter this would-be killer), or is scheduled to not work or is sick on a particular day, again, your kids are still sitting ducks.
If Muslim savages (aka, "terrorists") take over a school here (remember 9/11 - they've attacked the U.S. before - they will again), as they did in Beslan, Russia, one armed officer will be of zero use. MANY armed personnel within a school may also be of zero use in a "Beslan-style" attack. Still, several or many guns have a better chance of having an effect on a group of terrorists than ONE gun does. Right now, with zero guns in schools to protect your kids, they stand zero chance. Almost 1 out of 4 hostages at the Beslan school were killed...more than 350 dead out of about 1200 hostages.
IF the officer IS wearing a uniform, that's who will be shot first. Then, again, there are "no guns" in your school...except of course for whichever guns the killer has most-likely illegally-obtained to carry out his massacre of innocents...even though the president and/or Congress told him not to.
There are many other reasons...I listed 5 above. Add your own below.
Of course, as soon as more guns appear in the hands of the good-guys in our schools, and the rate at which these idiotic school massacres occur declines, crazy people, who are hopped-up on God-only-knows which psychotropic medications, will simply attack all you "gun free" people in all other "gun free zones" in malls, restaurants, movie theaters, etc. Happy shopping.
One last note: If you think a "good guy with a gun" is not the solution to a "bad guy with a gun" who is attacking you and/or your children, by all means, DO NOT CALL THE POLICE if you are ever attacked!

LoHud.com, the website of The Journal News (TJN) that published an interactive map which includes the names and addresses of law-abiding handgun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties in the state of New York, ironically, is now ultra-worried with the "rights" of people who COMMENT on their website and on their Facebook page. The Journal News doesn't care so much about the right of a citizen to LEGALLY DEFEND themselves from bodily injury at the hand of a criminal (as long as you use a handgun to defend yourself, that is - knives, samurai swords, golf clubs, hammers, crossbows, forks, machetes, & banjos are apparently A-OK). BUT NOW The Journal News is going to be extra-vigilant in making sure you do as THEY wish online, too. They're going to make it "safe" for those who are currently "afraid" to comment to feel as though they can do so. And, they're going to block you from commenting if you don't behave. The Journal News has listed their TOS for you to peruse prior to posting your comments. (I found NOTHING on their website stating that they would publish your email, IP address, operating system, browser type, and a map to your house if you fail to abide by their rules...if you post nasty/stupid/ignorant/waste-of-time comments on this blog I, however, WILL do so.) ;)
Below you'll find a portion of the statement posted on LoHud's website and Facebook page earlier today (emphasis mine):
A note about comments and our Terms of Service
We have received an enormous and intense response since publication of the Westchester/Rockland gun permit holders map on LoHud.com. Many of the comments have contributed to an important community discussion. Many, however, have violated LoHud.com’s Terms of Service and Community Rules. We want to hear from all voices and all perspectives, but the tenor of the commentary on LoHud.com and on our Facebook page, located at facebook.com/lohud, has kept many of our users from joining the conversation. To that end, we remind our users that, per our Terms of Service, “We ... reserve the right to terminate the use of any username or account, or to deny access to the Site or any features of the Site, to anyone who violates these Terms of Service or who, in our sole judgment, interferes with the ability of others to enjoy our website or infringes the rights of others.”
(If you wish to read the remainder of the statement posted by The Journal News, go HERE or see the first picture below.)
While it is NOT a violation of someone's first amendment right to block them from posting a comment or to delete their comments from any online forum, it IS just a tad bit ironic coming from TJN since TJN has taken such a holier-than-thou attitude when dealing with what could create LIFE or DEATH situations for some of those they "outed" with their silly map stunt (police officers, crime/domestic abuse/stalking victims). The fact that TJN is now so seemingly concerned with the "tenor of the commentary" on their sites is downright laughable. While TJN has been dealing with some "real" threats this week...
1. "Police probe suspicious envelope received by The Journal News"
2. "Suspicious powder sent to Journal News, 2nd time in a week",
3. "Bomb squad responds to suspicious package at Journal News editor's home"...as a result of their little map stunt, one would think that TJN would be more concerned with letting people have their say online...as opposed to making it necessary for people to begin sending in their comments via snail mail. Just a thought.
Yes, I was born on the 4th of July. (Clarification for liberals:) No, I wasn't literally born with a gun in my hand. I have lived with them and shot them all my life. I will continue to live with them and shoot them for the rest of my life. My right to do so was granted to me by a power higher than any mortal, Progressive "god".
I have NO doubt that it was written in stone long ago what will be done by the Progressives in this country regarding "guns" long before that troglodyte in the White House was re-elected. Why must they continue with the dog and pony show? Why are they even pretending to have a "commission" that will "investigate" what can be done about the (non-existent) "gun problem" in the United States? Wait, I know the answer to that: To appease those that have lived the past several years (and most of their lives) with their heads crammed up their own butts - aka, more than 1/2 of the population of this country - and to appease those who continue to make the fatal mistake of getting their information from the antique media in this country.
"Forgive them for they know not what they do"... Those that mock us for paying attention. Those that mock us for actually giving a damn about our country. Those that call us names or call us stupid merely because we approach life from a different point of view than their own...not because we have nothing in common, but because they don't like how we THINK about the world or don't like how we SAY what we THINK about the world. Those that would rather shut down this blog than allow me to have my say. These bastards don't come close to understanding the meaning of freedom. Maybe that's because they've never truly known it. But, if they have never truly known it, have any of us? I don't think anyone alive today in the United States has ever truly known freedom. However, I know that MANY of us understand what it means when government grows; it means we lose more freedom - that which we have left. It means we lose the OPPORTUNITY of having or keeping the few freedoms to which we currently still cling.
Any TIME you spend out of your day appeasing ANY government entity in ANY manner equals a LOSS of freedom for YOU. The fact that some of you INSIST on turning over control of parts of your life to a government entity is such a foreign concept to independent thinkers that we lack the ability (and the desire) to understand WHY you choose to do so.
Progressives whine to Conservatives, "tell me one loss of freedom that you've suffered under Obama"? There really is no rational response a Conservative can have to this level of dipshittery from these ignorants that mock and belittle others without cause simply for the sheer sport of it. The simple fact that they have to ask what freedoms have been lost proves that their ignorance is limitless. These are the bastards in this country that DESERVE to lose their freedoms...ALL OF THEM. Instead, because the radical left is in control of the executive branch of our system of government right now, the exact OPPOSITE of what SHOULD happen WILL happen. GOOD people who care about their country, their neighbors, their community, the future of their families and friends, the WORLD, these good people will be the ones to suffer the loss of more freedoms at the hand of yet another power-hungry, "I'm smarter than you; you're too stupid to know what's best for you" progressive pile of dog snack named "Barack Obama". He is going to TRY to take your guns. At a MINIMUM he is going to try to make acquiring guns and/or ammunition so UNappealing to you that you just won't bother...you'll have to dedicate so much of your TIME and TREASURE (Liberal translation: MONEY) to acquiring a gun that many people will no longer bother...because they'd prefer to continue living under the delusion that they'd much rather keep their "freedom" and not waste anymore of their TIME appeasing a government they either did or did not assist in putting into place.
Here, then, is my “madder-than-hell-and-I’m-not-going-to-take-it-anymore” program for ending gun ignorance in America:
• Reinforce the Second Amendment, the part about "the people" anyway. It’s too well written, simple, and it is impossible for gun-haters to absorb into their sick, demented skulls. It offers an absolute right to gun ownership for THE PEOPLE, as well as putting it in the context of the need for a “well-regulated militia.” We shall make our militia bring their own guns to battles. Every citizen of the United States shall be required to own and be able to properly use a firearm of some kind. And surely the Founders envisioned advancements in weaponry when they guaranteed gun rights. Owning a gun is an absolute privilege, as well as a right.
• Declare the NRA the new "4th Estate" and strongly encourage membership and participation for all citizens. Hey! The media gave up their right to be called "the 4th Estate" long ago, and the media has led to the deaths of more of us than the NRA ever could. (I would also raze all of the headquarters of all media organizations, clear the rubble and salt the earth, but that’s optional.) Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles mandatory. If some people refused to take up their guns, that “prying the guns from their cold, dead hands” thing works for me.
• Then I would tie Dianne Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi, our esteemed Progressive leaders, to the back of a Ford pickup truck and drag them around a parking lot until they saw the light on gun control.
You know what I say to you, Barack? Suck it! (H/T Kathy Griffin) Do all you'd like to "control" guns, all you'll accomplish is putting more innocent people in harm's way. But, I guess because you're so smart, you already know that, don't you? I know you do. Why, that is your specific intent. You're about to make yourself feel a whole lot more "equal" aren't you, Barack? Leveling out the playing field for ALL in the world is your ultimate goal. Of course, in order to accomplish that goal, you know it is necessary to take the United States down a few pegs, right? Right. Can't stand a winner, can you, Barry? (Because, for a winner to exist, a loser must also be present.) Too bad you're too cocky and self-involved to comprehend what a weaker United States of America really MEANS for the rest of the world. The United States of America, as well as the rest of the world, will be suffering ramifications of your re-election for decades to come. One more time: SUCK IT, BARRY!

A hysterical caller named "Karen" from Totenville in Staten Island, NY called into NY1's "The Call" talkshow:
"These savages are robbing people at gunpoint..."
"People are just savages. You'd think this would unite people and ppl would come together and help one another and everybody is just behaving like an animal."
Why on earth would people in New York City rely on each other? After all, they've got big brother to "help" them, right? That seems to be working well, as always. Keep voting for bigger government, New Yorkers...keep shafting yourselves and not recognizing it. No, seriously, it's working out well for you.

I needed a break from politics so for the past few days I've been playing with something a little different...football. I've wondered for years how long it would take to watch an entire football game without all of the breaks between plays, waiting for referees to figure out penalties, time-outs, TV time-outs, official reviews, injuries, commercials, etc. In fact, I can no longer tolerate watching a live football game since I've had a DVR. On my DVR I can watch an entire football game in about 40-minutes. There is almost always a 30-second break between plays (unless one of the teams is running a "hurry-up offense", then there is about a 20-second break) and each play lasts for approximately 6 or 8 seconds. When a flag is thrown, there is almost always a 45 or 60-second delay. And, I'm sure you know how many commercials are shown during an average game. They are absolutely unbearable.
I do have some idea of what it's like to play football (more than many girls, I suppose). I've had the wind knocked out of me several times when, as a kid, I'd play backyard football with my brother and his friends - I think they thought it was funny to watch me struggling to breathe. The fact that I'm a girl didn't bother them. They still knocked the crap out of me...and, they enjoyed it. If I didn't "enjoy" it, I didn't have to play. I wanted to play, therefore, I'd usually play until I wound up getting hurt and only stopped after I wound up bawling from getting hit too hard too many times (even though I wore a complete JCPenny's football uniform that belonged to my brother - helmet, shoulder pads, pants with all the pads). Poor baby. The guys had accomplished their mission - they no longer had to play football "with a girl". That still didn't stop me from joining their next game. :)
Being a female that has never played organized football, I've also wondered why football players seem to get so worn out playing football. They go like hell for about 6 or 8 seconds, get a 30-35-second break between plays and go like hell again for about 6 or 8 seconds...sometimes only 3 times in a row...and, sometimes for about 10 or 12 plays in a row. Big whoop. Why do they get so tired? I didn't find the answer to that question in the making of the video below, but I did find out how long it takes to play a whole game.
OK, so to find out how long it really takes to play/watch an entire football game, I decided to look on YouTube to see if there were any full-length football games that I could download and edit. Sure enough, there are TONS of them on YouTube. But, I didn't want to edit just any game. I wanted to edit a game that I would enjoy watching. I tried to find a full-length Husker championship game that was of decent quality (that would remain decent quality after I downloaded and converted the video for use in Movie Maker) but I couldn't find any.
What I did find was the next best thing for a Husker fan...a game in which a relative unknown, underdog, "Cinderella team" beats Oklahoma...in overtime...in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. What a sweet game it was. I actually remember watching this game between Boise St. and Oklahoma live. And, I always will.
I edited the entire game (which took me about 2-3 hours), included only the plays, the referee announcing penalties, the announcement of time-outs, and I think I included 3 replays. The full-length game, as downloaded from YouTube (which didn't include any commercials) was almost exactly 3 hours long. If watched in its entirety as it aired it would have probably taken about 4 hours to watch this whole game. After editing, each quarter lasts between 5-7 minutes. The first 4 quarters last 26 minutes. The entire edited game including the OVERTIME lasts 28 minutes. The entire length of my video below is 31:34 because I included 3 minutes and 24-seconds of post-game stuff at the end of the game. (As a Husker fan I couldn't justify cutting-out the post-game celebration.) teehee
So, it really only takes 26 minutes to actually WATCH an entire football game. And you sit there in front of your TV for 3 or 4 hours watching this stuff. If you don't have one, get a DVR.
Here it is, it all of its edited glory.

So, did he or didn't he? Did President Obama refer to the terrorist attacks in Libya AS an "act of terror" or not? Sort of. As is almost always the case with everything that comes out of President Obama's mouth, once again SEMANTICS is at play. (If you missed the discussion about Libya from last night's debate, the entire exchange is posted in a video at the end of this post.)
During the exchange between Governor Romney and President Obama, Romney stated that Obama did NOT refer to the attacks as "terrorism" for 14 days. Obama told Romney to "check the transcript" of his initial remarks about the attacks. I did. (You can click on this link to see it in its entirety for yourself on the White House website.)
I'm going to highlight (in bold) a few words from the transcript of Obama's September 12th statement:
What DID Obama say in his statement to the country on September 12th? He said:
Yesterday, four of these extraordinary Americans were killed in an attack on our diplomatic post in Benghazi.
-SNIP-
The United States condemns in the strongest terms this outrageous and shocking attack.
-SNIP-
And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people.
-SNIP-
And then last night, we learned the news of this attack in Benghazi.
-SNIP-
No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character, or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for.
OK. So he DID say the words "acts of terror" and he DID refer to this as an "attack".
Where the problem lies for Obama is in the fact that he was saying all of these things IN THE CONTEXT that this was a "protest" carried out by people who were reacting to that stupid YouTube video. Which, we all know now, was a LIE.
Below is the PROOF that what I just said about "context" is true.
In paragraph #4 out of the 13-paragraph transcript, Obama said the following:
Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
Obama was saying that the PROTESTERS OF THE VIDEO were responsible for these "acts of terror". There is no other possible explanation for his inclusion of his comments about "faith" in his initial statement. If he was simply calling this an act of terrorism, he wouldn't have had any NEED to bring up "religious beliefs" of ANYONE involved. Because we all know he sure as hell isn't going to utter the words "Islamic extremists" (also known as "terrorists").
Obama LIED in the debate. The fact that he used the words "act of terror" in his statement does not absolve him of the fact that he was NOT calling this an act of terrorism. He was referring to the protesters, and the protesters ONLY, in reference to "acts of terror". He was NOT referring to al Qaeda or any other terrorist group. He was NOT admitting that this was "simply" a terrorist attack. He was saying that this "act of terror" was a RESULT of the protests over the video. These are two very different and extremely important things to note. Obama lied about Libya tonight...again.
I strongly condemn the outrageous attack on our diplomatic facility in Benghazi, which took the lives of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.
-SNIP- While the United States rejects efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, we must all unequivocally oppose the kind of senseless violence that took the lives of these public servants.
AGAIN, he makes reference TO THE VIDEO by bringing up "religious beliefs".
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said basically the same thing on September 11th:
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation.
One thing to note in the video below, notice how QUICKLY Obama agrees to move on from the subject of Libya. Throughout the rest of the debate he couldn't say ENOUGH about every other topic and kept interrupting Romney and Candy Crowley (the moderator) so that he could have his say...except on this subject.

2008 Republican Vice-Presidential candidate Governor Sarah Palin has done a series of interviews over the past couple of days to discuss the Vice-Presidential debate between VP Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan.
Below you will find all 5 interviews. Because Sarah has an exclusive contract with FOX News, meaning she can't do interviews with other networks, all interviews are with FOX News, FOX Business, and FOX Radio.

The United States of America, via the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has been conducting experiments on human subjects.
As an American, I find this to be the most egregious behavior yet to come out of the Obama administration.
(I'm too angry right now to say more now. I may or may not post more of my thoughts here or on my YouTube channel later.)

An Eco-Fascist Gassing Experiment with Diesel Fumes at the EPA
By Mark Musser
It has been recently revealed that the EPA has far surpassed the dark humor of blowing up kids and people on film that global warming scare-mongers promoted a few years back. In real life, the EPA has been conducting human experiments on people by piping diesel fumes from a running truck mixed with air into their lungs at a North Carolina university. The agency has ginned up yet another green crusade -- the lethal dangers of diesel fumes. They even had a gas chamber set up to accommodate the environmental research project that shockingly recalls the death camps in Poland.
Not surprisingly, the EPA is now in the process of being sued for conducting dangerous experiments on human guinea pigs. The courts will decide whether or not serious laws and practices were violated, including the international Nuremberg Code that was set up after sixteen Nazi doctors were executed for medical terrorism. After the barbaric fallout of Nazi Germany, where many people were treated like experimental animals, the Nuremberg Code was designed to be an international governing set of principles to regulate the practice of human experimentation. The whiff of the Jewish holocaust is therefore unmistakable.
----SNIP----
While no one died in the EPA's gas chambers, the agency is increasingly acting like proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. Under the guise of acting on behalf of everyone's health, the EPA has crossed a pathological line where people have been potentially treated like experimental animals under questionable methods that conjure up the horrors of the holocaust. More telling is the EPA subjected human beings to a concoction of diesel fumes that it already said was lethal. If the EPA were truly concerned about human health, they would not have performed such experiments on more than forty people in the first place.

The tree of disgust, corruption, cover-up, theft, and deception of the American people carried out by the Obama administration has yet to be tapped, however, I never imagined something as disgusting as this. What's next from them? People have been killed (Fast & Furious) and people have died (Libya) as a DIRECT result of the actions of the Obama administration, but the people in these experiments have to live with the effects of these tests for the remainder of their days. Personally, I'd prefer a quick-end as opposed to a life of suffering at the hands of my very own government.
Mainstream media isn't covering this story. Nor will they. If you don't share this post (or one of the links from American Thinker OR FrontPageMag) this story is dead after you read it. It is up to YOU to spread this story. If you don't spread this information, don't complain to me if this is the last you hear of it. I did my part.
