( note: ILLEGAL - here without papers )&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;It's a good question - it deserves an honest answer. Over 80% of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America ?&lt;br /&gt;The answers I found may surprise you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  California , if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to  Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupt hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominant language again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  Colorado , 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids - would move back 'home', mostly to  Mexico . That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 billion) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs.&lt;br /&gt;It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of  Denver alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colorado  would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop-out/flunk-out rate because of thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in  Colorado. Denver 's 4% unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  Florida , 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America , the rule of law, and English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  Chicago , Illinois , 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home' --&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If 20 million illegal aliens returned 'home', the U.S. Economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn't be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 Billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local, state and city coffers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No more push '1' for Spanish or '2' for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our over-crowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In cities like L.A. , 20,000 members of the ' 18th Street  Gang' would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;br /&gt;America 's economy is drained. Taxpayers are harmed. Employers get rich. Over $80 billion annually wouldn't return to the aliens' home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains America 's economy - which currently suffers an&lt;br /&gt;$8.7 trillion debt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California , Georgia and  Florida  would still be operating instead of being bankrupt out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans wouldn't suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the 'progressives' on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over one million of Mexico 's poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from  Brownsville , Texas  to  San Diego , California  in what the New York Times called, 'colonias' or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and  Calcutta  where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, elec tricity, roads or any kind of sanitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The New York Times reported them to be America 's new ' Third World ' inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonias.&lt;br /&gt;(I've seen them personally in  Texas and  Arizona ; it's sickening beyond anything you can imagine.)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to  Mexico.  We should invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico . We already invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation. It's time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting Statistics! &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Here are 14 reasons illegal aliens should vacate America , and I hope they are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. $14 billion to $22 billion dollars are spent each year on welfare to illegal aliens. &lt;br /&gt;( that's Billion with a 'B' ) - http://tinyurl.com/zob77&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. $2.2 billion dollars are spent each year on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens. - http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. $7.5 billion dollars are spent each year on Medicaid for illegal aliens.  http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/fiscalexec.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. $12 billion dollars are spent each year on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they still cannot speak a word of English!  http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. $27 billion dollars are spent each year for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies. - http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0604/01/ldt.01.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. $3 Million Dollars 'PER DAY' is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.

Maybe this is why our American Muslims are so quiet and&lt;br /&gt;not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a good Muslim be a good American? This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Theologically - no . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Religiously - no. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scripturally - no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Geographically - no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns in prayer five times a day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Socially - no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politically - no. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , the great Satan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domestically - no. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intellectually - no. . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Philosophically - no. . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot coexist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spiritually - no. . . Because when we declare 'one nation under God,' the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, after much study and deliberation....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. - - - They obviously cannot be both 'good' Muslims and good Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call it what you wish it's still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand .. .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Barack Hussein Obama, a Muslim, wants to be our President? You have GOT to be kidding! Wake up America !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama even says if he wins the election, he will be sworn in on the Quran---not a Bible!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Footnote: He was sworn in on the Quran for his current office and he refuses to pledge allegiance to the United States or put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played! The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. Hello! Having a Muslim president would seem to fit the bill! Will you trust this man with our national secrets?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE MARINES WANT THIS TO ROLL ALL OVER THE U.S.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-7131556134107519086?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/7131556134107519086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=7131556134107519086' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/7131556134107519086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/7131556134107519086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2008/10/can-muslims-be-good-americans.html' title='CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS?'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-6427837969293101522</id><published>2008-09-24T08:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-24T08:13:53.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Brand new push in Congress to prevent Shariah invasion</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=76026"&gt;New article on WorldnetDaily, By Drew Zahn&lt;/a&gt;.  “Tancredo introduced HR 6975, the Jihad Prevention Act, last week.

We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful people who changed the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the world.  These are the people we burned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a translation of an article from a Spanish newspaper.

HERE'S WHY!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you noticed how the Citgo signs have disappeared in the past 7-8&lt;br /&gt;months? Very clever move by Chavez.

So, I sat down and reflected on that, and I am sending my "Thank you" for what you have done, specifically:  &lt;br /&gt; 1. Thank you for introducing us to Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, Dolly Kyle Browning, Kathleen Willey, and Juanita Broderick. Did I leave anyone out?&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 2. Thank you for teaching my 8 year old about oral sex. I had really planned to wait until he was a little older to discuss it with him, but now he knows more about it than I did as a senior in college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   3. Thank you for showing us that sexual harassment in the work place (especially the White House) and on the job is OK, and all you have to know is what the meaning of "it" is. It really is great to know that certain sexual acts are not sex, and one person may have sex while the other one does NOT have sex. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 4. Thank you for reintroducing the concept of impeachment to a new generation and demonstrating that the ridiculous plot of the movie "Wag the Dog" could be plausible after all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   5. Thanks for making Jimmy Carter look competent, Gerald Ford look graceful, Richard Nixon look honest, Lyndon Johnson look truthful, and John Kennedy look moral.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 6. Thank you for the 73 House and Senate witnesses who have pled the 5th Amendment and 17 witnesses who have fled the country to avoid testifying about Democratic campaign fund raising.&lt;br /&gt;   7. Thank you, for the 19 charges, 8 convictions, and 4 imprisonment's from the Whitewater "mess" and the 55 criminal charges and 32 criminal convictions (so far) in the other "Clinton" scandals.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt; 8. Thanks also for reducing our military by half, "gutting" much of our foreign policy, and flying all over the world on "vacations" carefully disguised as necessary trips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   9 Thank you, also, for "finding" millions of dollars (I really didn't need it in the first place, and I can't think of a more deserving group of recipients for my hard-earned tax dollars) for all of your globe-trotting. I understand you, the family and your cronies have logged in more time aboard Air Force One than any other administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   10. Now that you've left the White House, thanks for the 140 pardons of convicted felons and indicted felons-in-exile. We will love to have them rejoin society. (Not to mention the scores you pardoned while Governor of Arkansas)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   11. Thanks also for removing the White House silverware. I'm sure that Laura Bush didn't like the pattern anyway. Also, enjoy the housewarming gifts you've received from your "friends."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  12. Thanks to you and your staff in the West Wing of the White House for vandalizing and destroying government property on the way out. I also appreciate removing all of that excess weight (China, silverware, linen, towels, ash trays, soap, pens, magnetic compass, flight manuals, etc.) out of Air Force 1. The weight savings means burning less fuel, thus less tax dollars spent on jet fuel. Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   13. Please ensure that Hillary enjoys the $8 million dollar advance for her "tell-all" book and you, Bill, the $10 million advance for your memoirs. Who says crime doesn't pay!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. The last and most important point - thank you for forcing Israel to let Mohammed Atta go free. Terrorist pilot Mohammed Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called "political prisoners". However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands. The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, "insisted" that all prisoners be released. Thus Mohammed Atta was freed and eventually thanked the US by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified. It was censored in the US from all later reports.

He started climbing.  After an hour of hard climbing, he  arrived at a landing where an old man in white robes with a long  flowing beard was sitting, surrounded by ledgers. 'Excuse me sir' he  said 'are you Mohammed?' '   No' replied the old man, 'I am St  Peter, Mohammed is further up the stairs'.  'But this is  wonderful news' screamed the bomber, 'Mohammed is higher than St Peter!  I can hardly believe it'.

Standing on the landing was a serene looking man with long  hair and a long white beard.  'Excuse me sir' he said 'are  you Mohammed?'

'Oh yes please' replied the bomber 'I am most thirsty, thank you'.

In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred&lt;br /&gt;by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by:&lt;br /&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old  American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair&lt;br /&gt;by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by: Muslim male extremists mostly between n the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the&lt;br /&gt;passengers.  Thousands of people were killed by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by: Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Ald reds and other dunder headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on people wake up!!!  Keep this going.

Oregon law, however, does permit their law enforcement officers to exchange information with federal authorities to verify the immigration status of an individual arrested for criminal offenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you live in one of these cities it is your duty as an American citizen to have the mayor recalled and get these laws changed.

The sad&lt;br /&gt;thing about it, you can see it coming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.  &lt;br /&gt;How Long Do We Have?  &lt;br /&gt;About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." &lt;br /&gt; "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that &lt;br /&gt;voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury." &lt;br /&gt; "From that moment on, the majority always vote for the &lt;br /&gt;candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." &lt;br /&gt; "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: &lt;br /&gt;  1. from bondage to spiritual faith; &lt;br /&gt;  2. from spiritual faith to great courage; &lt;br /&gt;  3. from courage to liberty;  &lt;br /&gt;  4. from liberty to abundance; &lt;br /&gt;  5. from abundance to complacency; &lt;br /&gt;  6. from complacency to apathy;&lt;br /&gt;  7. from apathy to dependence;  &lt;br /&gt;  8. From dependence back into bondage" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election: &lt;br /&gt;  Number of States won by:&lt;br /&gt; Gore: 19&lt;br /&gt; Bush: 29 &lt;br /&gt;  Square miles of land won by: &lt;br /&gt; Gore: 580,000&lt;br /&gt; Bush: 2,427,000 &lt;br /&gt;  Population of counties won by:  &lt;br /&gt;Gore: 127 million &lt;br /&gt; Bush: 143 million  &lt;br /&gt;  Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: &lt;br /&gt; Gore: 13.2&lt;br /&gt; Bush: 2.1 &lt;br /&gt; Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..." &lt;br /&gt;Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. &lt;br /&gt;If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. &lt;br /&gt; Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can we do?  Since I do not advocate removing elelcted officials outside the election process, I think we are left with only a few options.  There is the idea floating around that there - the idea of going after easier targets - those who support the law makers who are helping the illegals.  They are the ACLU, La Raza, etc.  This group is a much easier target.  They live amoung us and can be eliminated without making the headlines.  Can you imagine what this country would be like if every lawyer who worked for the ACLU was sudden pushed under a bus (for example)?  Of is those criminals who advocate amnesty like LaRaza just "disapeared".  Without their support system in place, bucket heads like Ted Kennedy, etc. wouldn't have an audience.  All of those anti christiank, anti American thugs would be silenced forever.  Well - it's a good start.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-6508169521156128477?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/6508169521156128477/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=6508169521156128477' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/6508169521156128477'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/6508169521156128477'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2007/03/what-can-we-do.html' title='What can we do?'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-5959674633483824452</id><published>2007-03-02T16:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-03-02T16:04:48.555-08:00</updated><title type='text'>History Lesson</title><content type='html'>Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/ gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two most important events in all of history were the invention of  beer and the invention of the wheel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals; and 2. Conservatives. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of  agriculture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's how villages were formed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girliemen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting  to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish, but like their beef  well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers; corporate executives, athletes, Marines, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here ends today's lesson in world history.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-5959674633483824452?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/5959674633483824452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=5959674633483824452' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/5959674633483824452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/5959674633483824452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2007/03/history-lesson.html' title='History Lesson'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-5139781961240466485</id><published>2007-02-21T08:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-21T08:12:10.223-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome to the Republican Party</title><content type='html'>A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so &lt;br /&gt;Many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, &lt;br /&gt;And was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, &lt;br /&gt;A feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had &lt;br /&gt;Participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that &lt;br /&gt;Her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he &lt;br /&gt;Thought should be his. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes &lt;br /&gt;On the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The &lt;br /&gt;Self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors &lt;br /&gt;Had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by &lt;br /&gt;Aski ng how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather &lt;br /&gt;Haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to &lt;br /&gt;Maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was &lt;br /&gt;Constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other &lt;br /&gt;People she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't &lt;br /&gt;Really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her father listened and then asked, "How is you friend Audrey doing?" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, &lt;br /&gt;She never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on &lt;br /&gt;Campus, college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, &lt;br /&gt;And lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too &lt;br /&gt;Hung over." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's &lt;br /&gt;Office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and g ive it to your friend who &lt;br /&gt;Only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that &lt;br /&gt;Would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired &lt;br /&gt;Back, "That wouldn't be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! &lt;br /&gt;I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to &lt;br /&gt;Nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the &lt;br /&gt;Republican Party.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-5139781961240466485?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/5139781961240466485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=5139781961240466485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/5139781961240466485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/5139781961240466485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2007/02/welcome-to-republican-party.html' title='Welcome to the Republican Party'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-117035823841371507</id><published>2007-02-01T11:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-01T11:30:38.426-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Hillary Voters IQ</title><content type='html'>BARTENDER&lt;br /&gt;A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat&lt;br /&gt;down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a&lt;br /&gt;robot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robot clicked to attention and asked, "Sir, what&lt;br /&gt;will you have?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man thought a moment then replied? "A martini&lt;br /&gt;please."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the&lt;br /&gt;best martini the man had ever had.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robot then asked, "Sir, what is your IQ?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man answered "oh, about 164."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robot then proceeded to discuss the 'theory of&lt;br /&gt;relativity', 'inter-stellar space travel', 'the&lt;br /&gt;latest medical breakthroughs, etc . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The man was most impressed. He left the bar but&lt;br /&gt;thought he would try a different tactic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He returned and took a seat. Again the robot clicked&lt;br /&gt;and asked what he would have?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A Martini please." Again it was superb?&lt;br /&gt;The robot again asked "what is your IQ sir?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time the man answered, "Oh about 100".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the&lt;br /&gt;latest basketball scores, and what to expect the&lt;br /&gt;Redskins to do that weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The guy had to try it one more time. So he left,&lt;br /&gt;returned and took a stool . . .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again a martini, and again the question, "What is&lt;br /&gt;your IQ?"??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time the man drawled out "Uh . . . 'bout 50".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly&lt;br /&gt;asked ,&lt;br /&gt;"A-R-e . . . Y-O-U . . P-e-O-p-l-e . . . R-e-a-l-l-y&lt;br /&gt;.. .

Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effects are apparent in many countries; improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement, the next&lt;br /&gt;of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sir Winston Churchill&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-116964311301724755?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/116964311301724755/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=116964311301724755' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/116964311301724755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/116964311301724755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2007/01/truth-about-islam.html' title='The Truth About Islam'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-116926800035020988</id><published>2007-01-19T20:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-19T20:40:00.363-08:00</updated><title type='text'>We Need A Fence!</title><content type='html'>From the Desk of:&lt;br /&gt;Steve Elliott, President&lt;br /&gt;Grassfire.org&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1/19/2007&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Associated Press is reporting that President Bush is&lt;br /&gt;open to the possibility of a pardon for border agents,&lt;br /&gt;saying "there's a process for pardons."

A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves  generous gifts from the public treasury.  From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years.  During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. From bondage to spiritual faith; &lt;br /&gt;2. From spiritual faith to great courage; &lt;br /&gt;3. From courage to liberty; &lt;br /&gt;4. From liberty to abundance; &lt;br /&gt;5. From abundance to complacency; &lt;br /&gt;6. From complacency to apathy; &lt;br /&gt;7. From apathy to dependence; &lt;br /&gt;8. From dependence back into bondage" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Population of counties won by: Gore: 127 million; Bush: 143 million &lt;br /&gt;Square miles of land won by: Gore: 580,000; Bush: 2,427,000 &lt;br /&gt;States won by: Gore: 19; Bush: 29 &lt;br /&gt;Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore: 13.2; Bush: 2.1 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professor Olson adds:  "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote, then goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-116088245707833500?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/116088245707833500/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=116088245707833500' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/116088245707833500'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/116088245707833500'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2006/10/skerrynation.html' title='sKerryNation'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-116076987801321774</id><published>2006-10-13T13:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-13T13:04:38.026-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The following has been posted without permission:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may sound trite to some, but the upcoming Congressional elections are very important. Like many of you, I am not entirely pleased with the results of this Congress. But remember this: much of this disappointment is the result of obstructionism by Democrats in Congress.&lt;br /&gt;There’s a reason Democrats want to talk about scandals. First, they have no ideas. None. Second, they want to depress Republican morale to suppress our conservative base at the polls. Whatever you do, PLEASE COME OUT AND VOTE. Don’t fall for the bunk that somehow putting Democrats in office will make things better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By her own admission, Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will begin her new “rule” over us with a job-killing increase to the minimum wage. Then she will launch us on months of debilitating “investigations” into every aspect of the Bush Administration which will do nothing but add to the bickering in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If that’s not bad enough, she says she wants to “allow the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices for Medicare patients.” That may be fine, but her real agenda will be to put us back on the path toward government-run “Hillary care” that Americans rejected in 1993 and still don’t want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She claims that she wants the Federal Government to adopt a “pay as you go” policy, meaning no middle class tax relief. But she seems to forget that just this week the government announced a huge decrease in the projected deficit, which is a result of the very tax cuts she despises. She has flatly said that the Bush-era tax cuts would have to be rolled back for those above “a certain level.” You can bet she is planning to hit working couples hard with her “certain level” plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She says she wants to “broaden the types of stem cell research allowed with federal funds,” another indication that she and liberals in Congress want to broaden their anti-life agenda.&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, the Democrat “cut and run” plans in the War on Terror are almost certain to occur if we put them in power. As a career military officer, I hope you will agree with me that the last thing we need in Congress is a majority led by the likes of Democrats Nancy Pelosi and John Murtha. Our soldiers in the field deserve better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you see that victories by the Democrats will be a disaster for America’s security and our economy. It will set us back years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what can you do? First, Vote. Don’t stay away. Second, contact your local Republican committee and get involved. Work the polls. Make calls. Help with rallies or literature drops. And if you can, send a check to the candidate of your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must not be discouraged or stay home on November 7th. That is simply not an option. If you come out, we will win on Election Day and confound the liberal media who has already “pronounced” the Democrats as winners. If we get our team out to vote, we will prove the left-wing press wrong. Please get out and vote. Get involved. Don’t permit liberals to reverse the good things that we have seen in recent years. Has it been perfect? By no means. But we can’t permit things to backslide with a liberal take-over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Roll up your sleeves and let’s get busy. I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L.

At the risk of being considered an insensitive racist, I see "Black Leadership" as the oxymoron of all oxymorons. From Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the Black Caucus and the various minority organizations and syndicated columnists, the playing of race card has been their sole contribution. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Race Baiting as New Orleans Sinks &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a black thing &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Tom Adkins &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The black mayor of New Orleans, a perpetually corrupt, crime ridden and impoverished city 20 feet below sea level, surrounded by an ocean, a lake and the Mississippi River, tepidly suggests his citizens evacuate as a giant hurricane approaches. For those with no means to leave, he does nothing. The white President of the United States begs him to evacuate for four days. A hundred thousand mostly black residents choose to stay. The massive storm promptly becomes the deadliest catastrophe in American history, flooding the city, killing thousands. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, over 10,000 rescue workers, mostly white, leave comfortable homes, jobs and families; stream in from all across America four days in advance. But when the storm turns at the last minute, rescuers become victims. Over 9,000 square miles and 200 miles of coastline over 4 states become devastated. Communication is cut off. All utilities are ruined. Thousands of roadways are laid to waste. Nearly every vehicle is swept away, including trucks, planes and boats. New Orleans becomes virtually impassable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Undaunted, the white rescue workers use whatever means available to help save the poor black residents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are greeted by gunfire. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thousands of remarkably well-armed black people took over the city, wantonly raping, pillaging and murdering. They carjack rescue convoys, shoot at rescuers, levee repairmen, and even helicopters performing rescue missions. The operation is halted dead in its tracks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for this, white people are being labeled racist. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It didn't take long for the parade of race-whore vermin to rampage across the television screen, accusing white Americans of racial lollygagging. Rev. Calvin Butts declared, "I think a lot of it has to do with race and class."  Jesse Jackson bluntly accused President Bush of racism. NBC's live telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina features rapper &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kanye West declaring, "George Bush doesn't care about black people." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor Ray Nagin, who could have prevented much of the tragedy by merely ordering an evacuation two days earlier and deploying his 1,000 school bus fleet, began publicly swearing at everyone else but himself, particularly for not providing instant security. Really! Can you imagine if George Bush had clairvoyantly placed 20,000 soldiers in New Orleans the day the storm hit? Every white person in America knows Nagin, the &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congressional Black Caucus, Rev. Jackson, the NAACP, and every black Race hustler (but I repeat myself) in America would have shrieked "Racism!!!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not sure? Kanye West already screamed ". They've given them permission to go down and shoot us!" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a century-long modus operandi for every black liberal politician: Blame Whitey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for years, white America surrendered the race card trump, placating racial rabble-rousers with over 10 trillion dollars of social programs.  Not enough. They created racial preference laws. Not enough. They laid every guilt trip possible on white people. Not enough. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, not this time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See, Whitey wised up. We know black people cause modern Black America's great plagues. Newt Gingrich doesn't run around knocking up 14-year-old black girls. Black men do. Ronald Reagan didn't gang bang and murder in the hood. Black men do. Rush Limbaugh doesn't coax black people into government servitude. Black liberals do. And certainly, William F. Buckley never advised black people to speak English like Jar Jar Binks. Black people do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in New Orleans, George W. Bush didn't ignore evacuation warnings, abandon poor black people trying to leave, loot the city and shoot rescuers.  Black people did. Black people caused and could have prevented this entire tragedy, and when white people tried to help, black people literally tried to kill them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is a fact. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Black America, turn down the volume knob and listen carefully. Hear that? It's the sound of White America heaving a sigh of indifference. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To be certain, this isn't an indictment of all black people, though it's certainly a wake-up slap to a large black majority who listen to these cretins. It is, however, a direct accusation against liberal race prostitutes who dominate popular black leadership, create misery and mayhem in the black community for self-aggrandizing personal power, and then detestably blame White America, insisting we don't understand the plight of black people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing White America doesn't understand is why black leaders sell their fellow black brethren down the river, sometimes literally, and why black people keep buying the ticket. This week provided a disgusting example. After creating their own tragedy, black people across America had a magnificent opportunity to convert adversity into compassionate national unity.

I think one of the most notable things in the email is his/her comments on the victim mentality of the people he has met on his watch.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Van Cleave, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to express my thanks for what you and your organization have &lt;br /&gt;done to make Virginia safer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems to me that each call I respond to ends in the victim asking &lt;br /&gt;for my co-workers and I to "increase patrols in the area." It doesn't &lt;br /&gt;take a lot of imagination to translate that request into what they &lt;br /&gt;are really asking for: personal armed bodyguards. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our manpower is limited, and we obviously cannot increase patrols &lt;br /&gt;everywhere, so who can we turn to when additional protection is need &lt;br /&gt;for the community? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The community itself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Self-protection has become far too rare and an enormous amount of &lt;br /&gt;victims simply allow themselves to be victimized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What people need to learn is that criminals will always be criminals. &lt;br /&gt;We, as a race, have dealt with them since the beginning of time and &lt;br /&gt;it does not appear to be a battle that we will win anytime soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victims, however, do not have to be victims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[name withheld] &lt;br /&gt;Police Officer &lt;br /&gt;Chesapeake Police Department&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-111625721648619392?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/111625721648619392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=111625721648619392' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/111625721648619392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/111625721648619392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2005/05/victims-do-not-have-to-be-victims.html' title='Victims . . . . do not have to be victims.'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-111047339029938870</id><published>2005-03-10T11:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-03-10T08:49:50.303-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Michael and Me</title><content type='html'>I was sitting in a sushi bar in Santa Monica last summer eating sushi and watching BMX bike competition with about 10 other folks.  I was suddenly overwhelmed by an odor that reminded me of a dead animal.  The smell was accompanied by a very loud bawling sound demanding to "change the channel".   I turned to look and saw Michael Moore.  I knew he was fat but this guy was bending the scales at 400lbs.  He hadn't even sat down to order a meal and already had food crumbs in his beard.  Once he got his triple order of sushi he proceeded to stuff two pieces in his mouth at the same time.  He had soy sauce dripping from his mouth and beard and talked with his mouth full.  He washed this down with large gulps from cheap beer and made a disgusting mess on the bar.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime I was scooting my bar stool away to avoid the awful smell.  One of the great things about eating sushi is the wasabi paste.  It's very spicy and the effect is has on the olfactory senses add to the experience.  However Moore stench over powered even the wasabi and the last couple of bites I couldn't taste at all.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was insulting and rude to the restaurant workers and especially to the Hispanics.  For someone so liberal he's a total hypocrite with his politics.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only stayed for a few minutes to finish my meal but I was there long enough to hear him brag about "Dropping 6 figures on a house" for a family member.  I know he's wealthy from the "movies" he's made, but people with real money don't talk about it, especially to strangers.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-111047339029938870?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/111047339029938870/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=111047339029938870' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/111047339029938870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/111047339029938870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2005/03/michael-and-me.html' title='Michael and Me'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-110874807692825831</id><published>2005-02-18T09:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-02-18T09:34:36.933-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Five Simple Rules</title><content type='html'>If you're thinking of changing jobs or looking for work just remember these 5 simple rules:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. If you have to pay money for it, it's not a job, it's a scam.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If it requires that one person tells their friends, who tell their friends, etc.  It's not a job, it's a pyramid scheme (also a scam). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. If someone wants to sell you "an opportunity" or a copy of their "money making system", it's a scam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. If you get a lengthy email that reads like a unibomber manifesto filled with testimonies from everyone under the sun at how much money they made just by "following these simple steps to wealth", it's a scam.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5.

One prof in particular spent most of class time telling us how great Marxism was and compared Marx to Jesus saying, “nobody really understood him.”  Give me a break.  If that idiot prof had ever read the Bible he would have never made those remarks.  Jesus never worried about people understanding him.  Either you got it because you listened and cared, or you didn’t get it because you were too wrapped up in the world and yourself.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ward Churchill is also a good example of why our colleges need a good cleansing.

Kennedy is a 72 year-old boy who &lt;br /&gt;never held a real (private sector) job. He entered the United States &lt;br /&gt;Senate in 1962 at age 30 (based on his record of being born a Kennedy), &lt;br /&gt;and remained there for the past 42 years. The expression limousine &lt;br /&gt;liberal was coined with Ted Kennedy in mind. He's never had to worry &lt;br /&gt;about meeting a payroll, keeping a job, paying a mortgage, balancing a &lt;br /&gt;household budget, educating his kids or saving for his retirement. His &lt;br /&gt;idea of helping ordinary Americans is raising their taxes, increasing &lt;br /&gt;the size and scope of government and forcing weird social experiments &lt;br /&gt;on us. His political career seems to be dedicated to making sure that &lt;br /&gt;no one in the middle class will ever be able to achieve the prosperity &lt;br /&gt;of the Kennedy clan. ... Still Kennedy and his allies are convinced &lt;br /&gt;that they have an intuitive understanding of the common man, a psychic &lt;br /&gt;connection to him (the political equivalent of a Vulcan mind-meld), &lt;br /&gt;which allows them to act as his champions even while the average &lt;br /&gt;American repeatedly disavows them. If you hold power long enough in a &lt;br /&gt;one-party state -- North Korea, Cuba, Massachusetts -- you can believe &lt;br /&gt;anything." --Don Feder &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is also amazing is that the democrats still listen to this fathead.  How much longer will they allow this bloated whale to embarrass them?  The republicans got rid of Packwood.  When will the democrats get rid of Kennedy?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-110719269729308103?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/110719269729308103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=110719269729308103' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110719269729308103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110719269729308103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2005/01/life-of-ted-kennedy.html' title='The life of Ted Kennedy'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-110573736607782583</id><published>2005-01-14T13:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-01-14T13:16:06.076-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Traffic Court</title><content type='html'>Traffic Court Judges are to the judicial system as drag queens are to the entertainment industry.

You know, the one &lt;br /&gt;that begins with a 'C.' Since at least 9 out of 10 taxpayers are &lt;br /&gt;Christians, they foot the bill for a public education system on &lt;br /&gt;a search-and-destroy mission against even the mildest expressions &lt;br /&gt;of their holidays. America was founded by Christians and based on &lt;br /&gt;Judeo-Christian values. The signers of the Declaration of Independence &lt;br /&gt;and drafters of the Constitution all were Christians -- not Buddhists, &lt;br /&gt;or Wiccans or Zoroastrians. Were it not for Protestant Christianity, we &lt;br /&gt;wouldn't have limited government, separation of powers, a Bill of Rights &lt;br /&gt;or religious tolerance. In short, without Christians, the United States &lt;br /&gt;of America would not exist. Even in an age when traditional religion is &lt;br /&gt;driven underground, our currency still says 'One nation under God' -- &lt;br /&gt;not one nation under Allah or Shiva. On January 22nd, like all of his &lt;br /&gt;predecessors, George W. Bush will take the oath of office on a Bible &lt;br /&gt;that tells the story of the Nativity." --Don Feder &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am amazed at how tolerant we Christians are of the so-called tolerant left in this country.  I say enough of this kind of tolerance.  It's time to cut down the ACLU, really.  Search and destroy them where they grow.  Erase them from our lives forever.  I heard a guy on the radio call in to suggest we all join them and then vote them into non-existence.  If that is all it takes then let's not waste any time and do it quickly, but if it means something more drastic, well, praise God and pass the ammunition.  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-110296250856466476?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/110296250856466476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=110296250856466476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110296250856466476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110296250856466476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2004/12/one-nation-under-god-really.html' title='One Nation Under God, really.

Humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic&lt;br /&gt;hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains in the summer &amp;&lt;br /&gt;would go to the beach &amp; live on fish &amp; lobster in winter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 2 most important events in all of history were the invention of beer&lt;br /&gt;&amp; the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the&lt;br /&gt;Beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization &amp; together were&lt;br /&gt;the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into 2 distinct subgroups:&lt;br /&gt;Liberals &amp; Conservatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once beer was discovered it required grain &amp; that was the beginning of&lt;br /&gt;agriculture.  Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented&lt;br /&gt;yet, so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for&lt;br /&gt;them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how&lt;br /&gt;villages were formed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some men spent their days tracking &amp; killing animals to B-B-Q at night&lt;br /&gt;while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known&lt;br /&gt;as "The Conservative movement."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other men who were weaker &amp; less skilled at hunting learned to live off&lt;br /&gt;the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's &amp; doing the&lt;br /&gt;sewing, fetching &amp; hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal&lt;br /&gt;movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women.&lt;br /&gt;The rest became known as 'girleymen.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats,&lt;br /&gt;the invention of group therapy &amp; group hugs &amp; the concept of Democratic&lt;br /&gt;voting to decide how to divide the meat &amp; beer that conservatives&lt;br /&gt;provided.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most&lt;br /&gt;powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by&lt;br /&gt;the jackass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer&lt;br /&gt;white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their&lt;br /&gt;beef well done. Sushi, tofu, &amp; French food are standard liberal fare.&lt;br /&gt;Another interesting revolutionary side note: most of their women have&lt;br /&gt;higher testosterone levels than their men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in&lt;br /&gt;Hollywood &amp; group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the&lt;br /&gt;designated hitter rule because it wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also&lt;br /&gt;bat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservatives drink domestic beer. They eat red meat &amp; still provide for&lt;br /&gt;their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys,&lt;br /&gt;lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police&lt;br /&gt;officers, corporate executives, soldiers, athletes &amp; generally anyone who&lt;br /&gt;works productively outside government. Conservatives who own&lt;br /&gt;companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers &amp;&lt;br /&gt;decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are&lt;br /&gt;more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals&lt;br /&gt;remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America.&lt;br /&gt;They crept in after the Wild West was tame &amp; created a business of trying&lt;br /&gt;to get MORE for nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here ends today's lesson in world history.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-110239822959376024?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/110239822959376024/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=110239822959376024' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110239822959376024'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110239822959376024'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2004/12/lesson-for-day-human-history.html' title='Lesson for the day -- Human History:'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-110235676004309686</id><published>2004-12-06T10:11:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-12-06T10:12:40.043-08:00</updated><title type='text'>From Debbie O'Hara</title><content type='html'>"Children learn in school what they need to know to 'function' in a socialist society, but are not literate enough to gain the knowledge they would need to escape it.

I would like to draw your attention to these two parragraphs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"On Iraq, the three said that, in retrospect, they should have more aggressively questioned the Bush administration's grounds for invading Iraq in the spring of 2003.&lt;br /&gt;"Simply stated, we let down the American people on weapons of mass destruction, and I sincerely regret that," Westin said."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a good example of how bias the networks are. What they are saying is if they had been more aggressive in their reporting in Iraq (aggressive meaning putting a negative spin on things) then the election would have turned out the to reflect the exit polls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-110063096065373849?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/feeds/110063096065373849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9024600&amp;postID=110063096065373849' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110063096065373849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/110063096065373849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2004/11/major-network-news-chiefs-review.html' title='Major network news chiefs review election, look to future'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024600.post-109967913688069889</id><published>2004-11-05T13:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2004-11-05T10:29:24.683-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cronkite Diary</title><content type='html'>Just my feelings about what Walter Cronkite said about Karl Rove and the recent OBL tape.

Bush was the best man to vote for. For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W got more votes than Ronald Reagan did in 88. Gee, I think Michael Moore is eating a baguette of D'oh this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the nation needs to re-think why they voted for a man (Kerry) who is a self proclaimed Socialist, who governs as a Marxist and received the endorsement of the American Communist Party, and the Islamic Fascists (al Qaeda).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9024600-109967710225669043?l=skerrynation.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/109967710225669043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9024600/posts/default/109967710225669043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://skerrynation.blogspot.com/2004/11/purpose-of-this-blog.html' title='The purpose of this blog.'/><author><name>dmazanec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13220446084235634323</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry></feed>
