“Gun Death” Train

“Progressives” love trains. people in Europe use them, they’re good for the environment (so long as they’re always running a max capacity) and they’re fiscally irresponsible. They are also dangerous!

According to Fort Worth Fire department spokesman Tim Hardeman, the male victim may have went onto the tracks just as the train approached.

“The individual was seen walking toward the tracks and appeared to lay down on the tracks and by that time the train was unable to stop and struck the individual,” Hardeman said. “He [the conductor] did hit his brakes but again by the time he realized that there was gonna be a problem it was too late for him to stop.”

There is indication that others used a shortcut in the area to cross the rails.

You know, the places with the most trains have the most “Train Death”! BAN TRAINS!

Larry Really is OK!

Awesome! For those not in the know Comedian Larry Miller recently took a nasty spill and suffered a head injury and had to put both his podcast and road show on indefinite hiatus. His crew has been keeping his podcast current by giving updates and posting encore performances.

Still head injuries are crazy things, and I wondered how good he REALLY was doing.

Well they have another encore up, but this time the intro is by Larry himself!

He still has it, and now I can rest easier! Get better soon Larry!

Protecting the Rights of the Dispicable

Anybody who is concerned about individual Liberty knows that it isn’t about protecting the rights of the best of us. Nobody wants to take down your youtube videos of kittens, or censor the latest superhero blockbuster. Really the first amendment protects hate groups like the KKK and people claiming to be fake SEALs.

The Supreme Court on Thursday struck down a federal law making it a crime to lie about receiving the Medal of Honor and other prized military awards, with justices branding the false claim “contemptible” but nonetheless protected by the First Amendment.

The court voted 6-3 in favor of Xavier Alvarez, a former local elected official in California who falsely said he was a decorated war veteran and had pleaded guilty to violating the 2006 law, known as the Stolen Valor Act. The law, enacted when the U.S. was at war in Afghanistan and Iraq, was aimed at people making phony claims of heroism in battle.

The ruling, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, ordered that the conviction be thrown out.

Let’s be fair. To claim you have received high military honors is both despicable, and a slap in the face to those who rightfully earned those awards.

But we have the first Amendment, and that protects our right to be despicable…as well as those of us calling out those who are such runny turds of society.

The solution to abuses of rights is MORE rights, never rights. This is a good ruling!

Comforting

This is VERY comforting:

There are a lot of cool things you can do with $1,000, but scientists at an Austin, Texas college have come across one that is often overlooked: for less than a grand, how’d you like to hijack a US government drone?

A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by the US Department of Homeland Security.

After being challenged by his lab, the DHS dared Humphreys’ crew to hack into their drone and take command. Much to their chagrin, they did exactly that.

They did it, and they did it for cheap. While I see nothing wrong with petty hackers crashing the horrible domestic drones that are currently enacting Big Brother’s wishes in US Airspace, into large bodies of water, or landing them in private airfields where they can be scrapped for beer money, what do you think is stopping the people in central Asia that have payloads of hellfire missiles?

Yeah, that part really makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Florida Seeking to End Voter Fraud

Good to read this:

A judge on Wednesday rejected a request by federal authorities to block Florida’s contentious move to remove potentially ineligible voters from its rolls.

The decision could prompt some counties to revive efforts to identify registered voters who are not U.S. citizens. Many counties had suspended the effort after hearing about conflicting legal opinions.

U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle ruled there was nothing in federal voting laws that prevent the state from identifying ineligible voters even if it is close to the upcoming Aug. 14 election.

That’s good news to hear when all I hear is this bullshit.

BOSTON (State House News Service) – Arguing enhanced efforts to ensure the identity of voters could disenfranchise some people, House Democrats on Thursday agreed to a further study of the issue, disappointing Republican lawmakers who believe their proposal will root out voter fraud…Opponents of requiring voters to show identification argued it is a way to disenfranchise lower-income, minority voters who might not be able to show identification easily. They argued there is no need for identification because there have not been any cases of voter fraud in the state that would require changes.

Well there wouldn’t be any charges because the illegal voters are voting for Democrats that control this state. Duhh! I mean this is the exact crap that ACORN was doing…and you know what side they pull for.

Of course here I need to flash my ID constantly from anything from buying a beer to buying a box of ammo. But its illegal to for me to identify myself positivity at my polling place. That’s bullshit!

More on Racism

This trifecta is really great, in a hair-pulling way:

Ignoring racism won’t make it go away? Well given that the group saying this is targeting “Whites”, I’d like to point out some past racism that we don’t really recognize anymore.

Jews
Italians
Germans
Irish
Polish
Catholics
Gypsies

The list could go on and on. But let’s face it, in American race-politics all of these groups are recognized as “White”, but in the past they were as heavily discriminated against in America as blacks in the deep south. Hell, we list the Third Reich as the pinnacle of racist hate…did they execute ANYBODY that wouldn’t be considered “White” under today’s race politics?

But we moved on. Hell even if you go by clearly defined traits, why is it that East and Central Asians aren’t horribly oppressed minorities? In American race-politics if you’re Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, or Cambodian et al, you’re treated the same as if you were white, even if your skin is the same color as a Black or Hispanic person.

Sorry guys, your skin color has NOTHING to do with your current predicament. Sure there are a handful of hardcore racists in America…but there are people who hate the Jews, the Catholics, and anything they can label as “Chinamen”….but they carry ZERO weight, and their own bigotry limits their own social influence.

Americans as a whole don’t give a shit what you look like, they just care about how good a person you are. Unless they are the kind of racists that pitch this stuff…you see this is GOOD racism, I guess, and they must push it further, because they are filled with hate.
