Strippers

This Mosque debate has brought out the idiots
Instead of standing up for the dead, instead of standing up for America, people still choose to grab bits and pieces of what is left of our Constitution and use it in defense of killers.

A site that I frequent had a post today proclaiming that the site at ground zero could not be that great because nearby there were " titty bars " within walking distance.
OH MY GOD ! THE STRIPPERS ARE GONNA GET US !
WHERE ARE THEY GONNA HIDE THE BOMBS !
Let me tell you something, if he is afraid of the strippers attacking, he has other issues other than terrorism.



He also made us aware that there was a Mcdonalds close the the site as well.
What, are they gonna do, throw french fries at us ?
Come on, is this the best you have ?
This has nothing to do with the fact of the strippers, or fast food in proximity of Ground Zero.
It has everything to do with allowing a Muslim Imam, that would not denounce Hamas, that said that the United States was to blame for 9/11, that will not allow us to know where the funding for this building is coming from, that preaches a religion that teaches any other person that does not follow their religion should be killed, that has radical followers,
It has everything to do with slapping America in the face, and letting them know that the Muslim world is coming to take over.
Let me say right here and now, there are more people that do not want this, and there are more people that still feel pride when we look at the flag.
We still feel pain when we see clips from the 9/11 incident, and we know what we have to do come November, and beyond.
This is our Country, we speak English, we follow the American law, and by no means do we need someone to tell us how to act from another country.


I have said it before, and I will continue to say it, America first

If you don't like it, then just leave.

Giving Up The Candy

This trickle down stuff hurts more and more everyday. We all know the high oil prices affect everything, and we all know that the transport cost of products are passed on to the consumers. At my house, we have cut out a few " luxuries " to help us stay within our budget. Things like eating out, McDonald's for lunch, and ordering pizza. It seems now, one of our little pleasure's will be put on that list. The Hersey Co. announced Friday that due to the rising cost of commodities, they will be raising their prices by 11%. This is the second price increase this year.

I did a little investigating on my own today, and bought a Kit Kat bar at a convenience store. It was $0.98 cents plus tax which came to $1.03. This was a regular size bar that sold for $0.69 cents a little over a year ago


After we left the convenience store, we made a stop at the Wall-Mart. While the wife was grabbing a few things, I went to the 10 items or less line and bought some M&Ms. they rung up at $1.09 plus tax which came to $1.14. I remember buying some M&Ms not long ago, same size, same bag, for less than a dollar




The Reese's cups in the same store, same line, was sold to me for $1.14 also. I have done the math, and $0.69 cents to $1.09 does not work up to 11%. I know, 30 or 40 cents is no big deal, but if the little things in life can make a 40% or 50% jump in price without us knowing, What's next? I guess I'll have to buy a bag of the little snack size bars and ration them between my sons and myself. And just for the record, The candy machines that line the exit of the store that had the $0.25 cent gum ball's, all of them were $0.50 cents now. I give up. No more candy for me
