Steve's barking at the wussifcation of the United States

I know I'm missing something, but why is the United States turning into Wuss nation.
Every time I turn on one of those cable news station I keep hearing the the Chicken Little's and the Henny Pennies, screaming the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Public Employees are bankrupting the government.
We can't keep borrowing, the Chinese aren't going to lend us anymore. Were going to have hyper inflation.
We can't have terrorist trials in NYC. The terrorist will try to attack NYC if we do. NYC will become a prime target.
Lets go to the last statement first. NYC is a prime target, that's right NYC is a prime target. The terrorist are trying at his very moment trying to think up ways to attack New York. If we were to have trials in New York there suddenly going to get smarter. I keep hearing and reading from the media that it will cost 200million dollars to have the trial in New York and it will bring hardship on the business' that make up downtown. It's like breaking up the streets doesn't hurt the downtown business district. If we can't have a trial with giving a 95% chance that nothing will happen and that the 200 million dollar price tag will only add 2% better protection. My understanding there have been terrorist trials in London, they had Hussein's trial in Baghdad,
but New York can't have Trial.
Let me try to understand to People's Republic Of China's to wanting to help finance the United State's. That must be because they don't want to buy dollars from exporters of there manufactured goods and replacing them with the Chinese currency. Maybe they want to close those factories and bring on civil unrest.
What are the Chinese going to with the extra dollars, let them just sit there.
Now we come to those pontificators who claim that civil servants are the ruination  of  government budgets.
These pundits who make upwards of high 6 to 7  or 8 figures wanting he civil servant unions to take pay cuts to help a minute portion of government budgets to be closed.
They complain civil servant pensions even though these pensions should be payed for before the member retires.
But  if something isn't done life as we know it will be over.

Steve's barking at the tea party or Alice and wonderland

This week there happens to be a grass root movement called the tea party that is holding a convention. There is nothing wrong with a new political movement, with the exception that it might be financed by the Republican party and it's media arm Fox News. I'm not saying that's the case because in reality I have no proof, the other so called media outfits don't know how to ask the right questions.
Getting back to the people who are attending this gathering. They seem to anti-government anti-tax. They want to compare themselves to the Massachusetts rebels that complained about no taxation without representation when in reality they come closer to those who started the whiskey rebellion with the exception that those who rebelled against the whiskey tax had a legitimate grievance with the government were those who like to call themselves tea par-tiers should call themselves the selfish pr##ks party because the only thing they seem to represent no tax and no health care for the masses.
Now if they were around in the beginning of this country they would be surprised how the founding fathers would have looked down at there political movement. Don't forget the father of our country sent troops to put down this rebellion despite the fact no one had been killed by these put upon citizens.
Every political movement like to call themselves patriotic even the ones that believe that they should leave the union.
I have only one thing to say to these tea par-tiers about my country love it or leave it.
For those who just happen to be reading this blog sorry for the run on sentences.

Steve's barking at the United States losing to terrorist

I'm stating unequivocally that were losing to terrorist.
Are the terrorist killing any Americans in the United States? No
Has there been a successful terrorist Act in the United States since 9/11? No
Then how can I say that were losing to terrorist. Simple, were so afraid of even having a trial in New York City for the mastermind of this terrorist act. People were outraged and scared to death that AL Qada would try to attack New York. I got news for these clowns there trying to attack this city and this country everyday. The mayor saying that it would cost 200 million dollars to have the trial here. What would it have cost to have the Olympics here. Business are going to lose business because of the protection that going to be needed around the court house.Maybe we there shouldn't be any hi profile trials in New York. Let the terrorist win by taking away what made this country great.
Lets through up our hands like Israel does at the hands of terrorist, oh that right doesn't give in to terrorist yet they have more to be frightened about.

Were frightened of everything, we place blame for not stopping the Christmas bomber though he did no harm. I've commented on that in a previous blog.
Bin Laden is enjoying our running around lie chicken littles He boasting about it.
The terrorist are winning, we are behaving like frightened rabbits.

Steve's barking News coverage of Haiti earthquake

I know it's not right to make fun of a catastrophe but if there was another television reporter the island of Hispaniola would have tip over ad fell into the sea.
I wounder to myself did these glamour pusses have to rough it or did they get gourmet food and the best tents and bedding that money could by.
I hope and pray that they left their generators behind for that may actually be beneficial to the island. Yes i realize that e should be well informed about this tragedy but I can't help but wounder if the news organization can make it through why can't supplies make it through?
Do we really need a weather man to tell us what's going on in Haiti?
At least Dr Gupta was of CNN was of great service even though some professor of Journalism from DePaul University complained that reports lose there opjectivity if they are part of the story ( as though he never heard of Fox News, and forgetting all the yellow journalism that this country had since the presidency of George the father of his country Washington.).
I've seen on the TV commentators asking the question why is the relief gong to the populace forgetting that the country was so devastated and that it wasn't a easy to distribute supplies before the earthquake, oh I forgot how easy it was for them to air lift the on air glamour people in.

Steve's Barking at Iran all the way home

Gee what should we do about Iran now that they will have the bomb. You know the big one. The one that could bring about a nuclear winter.
Now judging from history why Iran is challenging the world generally means that the Iran is in trouble. Now some of those dumb pundits say we should help the dissidents. Well that might just be what the the doctor ordered for the rulers of Iran, and there is a good chance that it would hurt the dissidence more then help them. Now how is that possible, after all that what rulers have been saying, hoping that will have the populous behind them.
The same is true if we were to attack Iran, what usually happens, the population rally around the government. Now I'm not saying that we should turn a blinds eye on Iran, I'm not quite sure what should be done, the best I can think of is silent sabotage of Iran's nuclear program and it's military. This of cause will be very hard after all it's not the 50s anymore.

Steve's Barking;Putting our head in th sand about terrorism

Oh No Mister Bill; it that time again to start worrying about terrorist again.
Another terrorist took to the air trying to blow up another airplane. Now it doesn't matter that this guy almost burnt his leg off and that was the biggest excitement that this country has had in a long time. (Perhaps the exploding device isn't very good. Perhaps the device doesn't work when wet, or just isn't powerful enough, well what ever.) Now we got the whole country worried about what should have been done and what the next thing we should to prevent this from happening again. why didn't one agency tell anther and after all didn't the father of this mad bomber warn the Us embassy about his son. Why wasn't he placed on the no fly list. Perhaps it was just plane laziness. We talk about full body scans, and paying our airport security people more money. No amount of money is going to change the boredom of doing a monotonous job day in and day out. People really think that full body scanners will really work, when the real problem is laziness and boredom.

Steve's barking death tax vs Ghoul income

This is terrible. Our government might not extend the elimination of the estate tax. Now Snidely Whiplash known as Uncle Sam hasn't yet extended the pay no taxes on estates over 3.5 million dollars. This tax is better known as the death tax. The US government is going to tax those who have died. Isn't it bad enough that we are taxed to death when we are alive. We will be taxed again when we go to the after life. (Those of us who are fortune enough to have 3.5 mil).

There are those of us American who think that those who are fortunate enough to sing oh daddy 's dead ya ho daddy's dead an I'm going to be stinking rich ya ho daddy dead. Well these young ins should pay there fair share of income they derived from the death of another.

Now which of these statements are correct, If any? Let the people decide.
We Currently pay no estate tax in 2010, if congress does nothing it will go to 55% in 2011.
