The only “green” in a job this Old Seadog is concerned with is the money I make. Green is a myth. I hunted for a very long time when the kids were still at home. It put meat on the table. I was far more “green” than this idiot has ever been. Those licensing, deer tag and bird stamp fees ensured proper management of the wild game population. I have been a “green” conservationist since I was 7 and went into the field with my Dad. He taught me more about conservation than that “gentleman” ever knew existed.
And he should take his sorry ass out to the dryland farm country in the Dakotas and Montana. He would see how well those farmers and ranchers so things. It might give him pause to think but probably not. It wouldn’t fit in with his radical viewpoints since these people really work.
I use cleanable filters in my heating and air conditioning, not because of the environmental factor, but because of cost effectiveness. I rotate and clean on the first of every month. If I were using disposable filters after being in this house for ten years, it adds up.
And for shear giggles, I would love to lock him upa ta the position of attention and and give him a verbal going over that would probably have him crapping in his drawers.

I found the Van Jones clip to be very troubling on multiple levels.

If you put aside the “expletive deleted” nature and who the “expletive deleted” was target toward, the most troubling part becomes clearer.

First, the woman asked the question as to why the “party now out of power” in Congress was able when “in power” to pass legislation with less than the majority the current “party in power” enjoys, while the “party in power” can’t seem to do the same thing. The response .. BS .. or as Barack Obama would call it .. a distraction. Obviously, this question was not supposed to be asked.

Second, the cynicism this man has for the environmental movement is unbelievable. “Green Jobs” aren’t a viable economic product of reordered priorities based on good environmental principles, but rather a political opportunity. His appointment as “Green Jobs” czar shows that “Green Jobs” and probably the whole “cap-and-trade” legislation has virtually nothing to do with the environment, but rather is a source of funds to be squandered for patronage. Every environmentalist should be aghast.

ah… so “remaking America” is not enough for the eunuch in chief? He must now resort to “remaking history”???

@j.biros: The “DJ Sammy – Heaven Remix” video is one of the most heart-wrenching I have ever seen. This is what 9/11 continues to be like for all those who lost loved ones that day.

@jill: The “9-11 phone call” video is horrific. This is what the victims of those terrorist attacks faced that day.

May all of those innocent victims rest in peace, and may the Holy Spirit lend comfort to all those left behind until they are reunited again someday in Heaven.

This is Kevin Cosgrove. He was the Vice President of Aon Corporation and was 46 years old. He was on the 105th floor of the South Tower, when he saw the attacks of the North Tower. He made a phone call to his wife, telling her that he was okay and that he was on his way down. Right after he got off the phone, the South Tower was attacked. This tape goes from when the 911 phone call was first made to the collapse of the South Tower. Kevin Cosgrove’s body was found a week after the attacks, and was buried in St. Patrick’s Cemetery in Huntington, NY.

Just a little short story about post-9/11. Several weeks after the attacks, we went ahead with our vacation plans in Vegas. While we were there, at the casino gift shop, was a rack of t-shirts with a picture of the towers collapsing, and the inscription below:
September 11, 2001 – I will never forget

I decided that on Sept 11 of every year, I would wear that t-shirt. The next year on Sept 11, I wore it to work and my boss told me it was not appropriate apparel for work. I commented that I would NOT change my clothes, because as soon as we forgot Sept 11, we were in for another terrorist attack. I guess I made my point, because ever since then whether it be work, gardening, play, athletic game, or whatever, I wear that shirt. The point I am trying to make is that if we EVER forget the tragedy of that day, we are in for another attack of some kind.
Don’t mean to bore anyone, but I for one will never forget. To forget is to act like the lives lost were not important and the pain and suffering of their loved ones are of no consequence. To me they were. To others, maybe not. That is their burden to take before the Lord.

And there are still those a**holes who say it was an inside job. If by inside they mean helped by people who are now in the Mr. Looking for my Balls administration, then maybe it was. They seem to be hell bent on destrying our country from the inside, maybe that was their start. Does anybody with a brain bigger than a pissant believe it was an inside job? Not me. Not anybody that uses common sense to live by.

As always, I will say a prayer for the 2,996 lost on the 11th of September. It occured on my 47th birthday. They haven’t been the same since and it is one I will never forget.
Should the “Green the Block” kids show up at my house……well it could be a “Bad day at Black Rock” for them. That will occur when they meet up with Wichita’s and Sedgwick County’s finest.
And I may just make them render honors to the Colors that I fly all the time, just before I have them hauled off to the county jail for trespassing. A little time in a crowded cell can be a wonderful attitude adjustment tool.
Should the above mentioned scum get ugly, I can give as good as I get. Stripped to the waist and go.
