Freak out Friday Video --- I'll Have a Bottle of anything and a glazed donut to go!

"I'll Have a Bottle of anything and a glazed donut to go!" 

Remember that from back in '86?  When MTV played music.  It was a time when David Lee Roth's ego could get no bigger.  The video, well, is audacious and  politically incorrect.  But fun nevertheless even though this video may seem a bit homoerotic by todays standards due too Way Too Much big hair, spandex, excessive pelvic thrusting, guitar humping, ass twerking (circa 1986), and giant microphone thrusting & fapping.

Best part......  The opening .  Enjoy!

Peace Officer vs. Law Enforcement

Peace Officer vs. Law Enforcement

 

I have been mulling around the idea, from a philosophical viewpoint  that during my lifetime I may have seen the transition of the "application of Law and Order " change fundamentally much in the same way I was part of the transition from the analog to the digital world.  Specifically the mindset 

and mission of our cops, sheriffs deputies and their leadership.  In the past a cop would describe  him or herself as a "Peace Officer" Or an "Officer of the peace".  Today the most common self described response would be "Law Enforcement Officer".   "So what?", one might say, "What's the difference?"  Well there is a big difference, difference in mindset and philosophy.

 

Lets compare the words Peace and Enforcement, but first lets examine their context and just what it means.  The context for the purposes of this discussion would be the very common term "Law and Order".  We have seen the TV series by the same name and you can fill up your DVR in a single day with the reruns..... ( But have we ever really considered what the phrase "Law and Order" means? 

 

Well as for Law, that is pretty self evident.  Law is basically the written code by our (representative) government that we consent to live by to help maintain  a civilized society.  As for order, just what does that mean? Order? What is order? Whose order?  Hmmmm.

 

Now before I go on, let me just preempt some future bickering by stating this:  It does not matter if a person is a Baptist preacher, Buddhist Monk, Militant Atheist with a "Fish with Feet" emblem on the back of the Saab, or anything in between.  It doesn't matter, Order in this case comes from Nature/God.  It just happens.  It is.  Call it Natural Order or Gods Order.  That's what it is and means in this context. And anywhere else for that matter. I like the term natural order myself,  well.... just because.  Don't read too much into it.  The two terms are interchangeable, outcomes are the same. ( I checked with the FSM, Capt. Picard and Thumbs Up Jesus they all agree too! )

 

So I would say that the term "Law and Order" could be described as The Law applied within the context of the natural order of things.  For example, the misapplication of the law would not be in natural order.  Law and order demands wise discretion with full recognition of our natural rights.  Also Law and Order demands that the law itself be in accordance with the natural order; an unjust or immoral Law can not be combined with the Natural order.  The two can not exist together.

 

So just what was a Peace Officer?  What was his job?  Who was he?  First let me say, simply stated that Peace can be easily described as  "The Presence of Justice"  or as described above,  "Law and

Order". The Peace Officer charged with the duty to  maintain "'Law and Order". He was local and lived in the same neighborhood he worked.  He would stop by your house and ask if you knew your tractor was out in the field to check if it broke down or if the local kids had taken it joyriding.  He would walk a beat in the city and give a quick check of door knobs of the local business and run off troublemakers. (most likely with a "loving" wack of a night stick to the first one who mouthed off)  He had discretion. He would pour out your beer and take you home to your parents if caught drinking underage. He talked to you and your neighbors...You knew his name.....Anyone remember? 

 

So lets look at Law Enforcement.  What does it mean? Well it means exactly that, Enforcement of the Law.  Does it recognize the natural order?  No.  It implies blind enforcement with no discretion. Strict adherence with policy and rules. BTW: Do you know the name of your local "Law Enforcement Officer?  I dare say no.  As opposed to the above scenario, the same kid that gets

caught drinking (or a joint) today, gets the cuffs, a record, and blown chances at going to a good college, a military career, and the ability to get a security clearance.  The Officer doesn't know the kid, could care less about him or his parents and has little to no discretion on what to do in the matter.  He could loose his job if he doesn't follow procedure.  Natural Order is not found in these actions nor is it cared about. Lets look at the uniforms and equipment.  One would be hard pressed to tell the difference between a Marine in full kit in Fallujah and the Local PD in Tactical Gear if it wasn't for the color and patches. 

 

The lack of natural order quickly degrades into insanity.  It turns into a hardened mindset.  The Law Enforcement Community becomes more distant from the population it is sworn to protect.  Its mission is lost, and the entire population becomes a potential enemy. The lack of Natural Order becomes a way of thinking and acting.   Example;  if the natural order is to protect lives, then a highly visible State Trooper at the top of the hill would be an effective way keep people from speeding down the grade.  The Trooper hiding in the bushes at the bottom of the hill is not protecting one life, or maintaining order, but he is enforcing the law (not to mention making money for the state). A small difference in location but a huge difference in intent. (Why) How many times do we read about a wrong door kicked down or a dog shot when Law Enforcement goes to the wrong address?  (don't know the neighborhood you have jurisdiction over?)

 

There is even bleed over into other agency's now.  A recent news story cited that EPA agents showed up to do a common inspection at a mine, fully armed in tactical gear, detained employees at gunpoint and acted like "Jack booted thugs" (my term).  HELL!, Anything more than a clipboard, pen, and camera is overkill for a SWPPP inspection.

 

So what is the answer?  Well the mindset has to be restored.  We need to recognize the natural order

of things.  For example our rights stem from the natural order. If all laws were wiped off the books today the natural order would still exist.

 

Blind "Law enforcement is a slippery slope to a very dark place, such as marching Gypsy's, Homosexuals, and Jews into poison gas chambers or playing the lottery for the hunger games. Hell that was a function of State Law Enforcement and legal, by law anyways.

 

In short we need a lot more Mayberry and a lot less Fallujah. 

 

(God bless our Pease Officers out there, present and retired, and elsewhere)

 

If things keep going the way they are I'm  going to need a Soma Holliday.

 

Update: Great advice from comments via Salamander and a side note.

"Do this. Get you know your local police officers. Get to know your Sherriff deputies that patrol your neighborhood. As for now, they ARE STILL defenders of your communities. See to it they uphold their Oath to protect you AND your constitutionally granted *affirmed rights. Make it hard for them to let go of your community, should the influence ever come knocking.
Fun Stuff, Salamander"

*BruHa's note: 

I had to make a small but important editorial change to the comment.  It seems that the pervasive debasing of our language, and Orwellian new speak our media puts out can and does influence the best of us.  This is an example.  Salamander and I have had very long discussions regarding philosophy religion and rights.  I know that he knows that rights are not granted by any one, any document or any other worldly means.  We both know that rights are natural, we are born with them. (God given)  Second paragraph, Declaration of Independence..... 

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--"

But the language slips in almost sublimely.  The language of the totalitarian state, the language of progressive agenda; a language that is designed to destroy not only the individual, but to destroy the very idea of the individual.

And he did say "And if pea-brained Vogons "

During the evening I got to thinking that the presidents speech patterns are about as enjoyable as Vogon poetry. ( FYI If not a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams's novels/ movie radio play tv etc.  Vogons are described as mindlessly bureaucratic, aggressive, slug like creatures having "as much sex appeal as a road accident" and the
writers of "the third worst poetry in the universe". They are employed as the galactic  government's bureaucrats.)

Long story short, I came across this from Bill Whittle--The reptile :  https://www.billwhittle.com/commentary/reptile talking about Alan Grayson ( aka Big Giant Level 2 Douchebag )  Now this is not the bent I was looking for but oh do I have to share.  FYI: I was heading on a tare about Obama speak and wanted to cross check to see if it is really plagiarized Vogon poetry.  (In my head  saw President Vogon  reading "You can Keep your healthcare insurance" and "The IRS Loves You...Really It does." as thinking Americans commit suicide rather than continuing to listen)  And then.... Internetz distractions happen.....

So jump to Bill Whittle's  article..He has such a wonderful mix of wit, political/philosophical insight mixed with absolute truth that it is hard to imagine how someone could say it better.

Tasty snips:

"Yes, infamous reptile Alan Grayson called the Tea Party – you know, those people calling for the end to the ruinous spending that allows people with the IQ of a carrot to buy votes from others by enslaving them to a life of government dependency, which will last until the world economic collapse brought about by this out-of-control, filthy addiction -- Grayson called the Tea Party the equivalent of the KKK – repeatedly – and it’s just another in a long line of attempts by these Progressive mudskippers to demonize their political opponents in the face of the flaming wreckage that their economic and political policies always bring about"

"Hey! Grayson, you lizard-blooded, jackbooted goon! We’ve tried to reason with the likes of you, but you’re like a dog trying to learn brain surgery by watching it on TV – after a while you realize it just ain’t gonna happen. So I’ll give it to you in terms you can understand, because we’ve seen your kind before: that feral, sneering bombast; that unspeakably dense, pre-human gaze, looking at the Monolith in fear and hatred has been with us for as long as there have been sand fleas, ticks and venereal disease."

And the best of all...

  "And if pea-brained Vogons like Alan Grayson smashes enough things with his little iron mallet then they think no one will notice or remember."

Original story by Bill Whittle -- The reptile :  https://www.billwhittle.com/commentary/reptile

That said, and now that I think about it, I prefer Vogon Poetry over this administrations mutterings.  At least the Vogons actually think their poetry is actually good.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,

Thy micturitions are to me,

As plurdled gabbleblotchits,

On a lurgid bee,

That mordiously hath bitled out,

Its earted jurtles,

Into a rancid festering confectious inner-sphincter. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]

Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,

Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,

And living glupules frart and slipulate,

Like jowling meated liverslime,

Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turling dromes,

And hooptiously drangle me,

With crinkly bindlewurdles,

Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,

See if I don't.

Chuck Norris?

Why Chicago thug politics dont work or another reason why the Obama administration has failed.

  By any rational measure the Obama administration has failed; and I would dare say miserably so.  The facts speak for themselves and I really don't think it is needed to list them out one by one, the failures are self evident. What has really interested me is not just why from a policy/mechanical standpoint, but why from a philosophical- systems point of view? 

 

Well there are many facets to this question being, financial, social, military, pure political, and how to execute power;  just to name a few.  However what each element has in common is how it is executed or how it is done.  Otherwise stated, the operational philosophy of the administration.  So what is the operational philosophy of the administration?  It is by no means passive or lawful. It rewards friends, punishes enemies and intimidates the rest.  Loyalty and strict obedience is of paramount importance if one is to maintain favor within the administration.  Payment must be received in the form of political donations and public support). This sounds like, and has been described as, a lot like an "Crime Family" or "Chicago thug politics".....  I fully agree.

 

This is not to say that a crime family or Chicago thug politics is not efficient or effective method to execute political will, it is or it would not exist.  It is a real efficient way to wield power, influence people and business, and make take money however, in order for it to work it has to be conducted within the confines of a lawful society.  The gangster needs the stable and lawful environment to function. (The gangster gets to break the law while no one else can.)  The crime family can not be everywhere, police everything, and have total control.  It needs the lawful environment because it parasitically feeds off of it.

Chicago thug politics only work in Chicago because Chicago is within the confines of an otherwise lawful state.  If the lawful state did not exist or somehow vanished the Thug Society would devolve into a lawless state run by warlords not unlike Somalia.

 

Now lets quickly upscale to the Obama administration.  The "Crime Family" is now in charge of it all.  It can and does anything it wants.  It spies on it's citizens, breaks law and blatantly disregards the constitution, prints money willy-nilly, makes friends with the evil and alienates long time allies.  Favors are granted to the loyal, perceived foes are punished, and the innocent intimidated.  But at what cost.

 

The cost is the integrity of the United States.  Their is no state for the "City".  The gangster has found itself responsible and accountable for the fire department public works, maintain the bridges, the court system and handling real disputes countries world wide.  Micro-managing does not work.  Flashy promises are hollow.  Real results are expected and needed.  What results is it all starts to fall apart as we are seeing today. Just look at some headlines just grabbed seconds ago....

 

REPORT: NSA Recorded 124 Billion Phone Calls -- in One Month!
Germany, France unite in anger...
Berlin: Please Explain...

US-Saudi Crackup Reaches Dramatic Tipping Point...
Obama 'Credibility Melting'...

CENSUS: 49% of Americans Receive Gov't Benefits...

I could go on but you can peek at The Drudge Report

So how do we avoid the inevitable gang war?  We take every lawful measure to elect these thugs out and remain un-intimidated.

Mental note:  When an individual becomes lawless he becomes a criminal.  When the government becomes lawless it becomes tyranny.

Words mean things.....

  The other night while responding and debating with a good friend, (whom had probably recently rolled one way too fat that evening ),  about words their meanings and such, I responded to him with the following:



Most Likely da best Hip Hop wardrobe Fail ever!



"  A word is very much something real and objective. It is the agreed meaning of an idea, fact or object....the collective attributes of the said thing. If you disagree with the definition, then you are the one violating the agreed contract; you do not get to change the attributes of the definition to keep a word!!! If the word desired (attributes that are represented) does not exist it is up to you to create and use a new word or add a new definition that can be agreed on. One  has no right to destroy words(definitions) of the past. Words of the past mean what they mean at the time of being stated (the agreed definition of the time)... To change the meaning is to destroy the thought, be it agreeable, contrary, or indifferent."

 

  This got me to thinking on how the progressive non-critical thinking left continually twists language to fit their ideas.  Ethnicity becomes race, free speech becomes terrorism, and a failed web architecture, design and implementation becomes a glitch.  So why do they do this?  Hmmmm?  I say it is to intentionally mislead us. It is meant to invoke an emotional response from the recipient favorable to the speaker with little or no intellectual effort on the part of the speaker/author.  It is meant to get one to come to a conclusion they might not have otherwise if they had the true and  correct information.  So when I hear the "political bastardazations" of words I take it as an admittance of the speakers failure of the idea or thought. 

 

 Words mean things.....and more importantly how words are used reveals intent, character and integrity.

 

Been Way Too Long!

Hey all!
 It has been way too long in posting here at the BruHa, almost two years in fact, and what a strange couple of years it has been for me personally.  But all is well personally though it has been a strange and very rewarding ride.  Nuff said about the personal stuff... I'm going to saddle up and start blogging again; with the serious, not so serious, maybe include some personal projects and tips, stuff I find funny, and of course you can look forward to the bad grammar, misspellings, excessive use of commas, and general randomization/bastardadation of the English language. Of course I will continue to promote rational debate regarding the virtues of individual liberty, the perils of progressivism, and expose the horrors of the police state. 

So---- Stay on the bomb run, boys! I'm gonna get them doors open if it harelips ever'body on Bear Creek!

Delivery Notice Attempt Notice SCAM

Yesterday I came home and found a Post-It note on my door telling me to call 1-877-235-3331.  Took a closer look and realized that it was a mass-produced item with no handwriting.  Some quick research on the internetz proved that this is a marketing scam by an alarm/security company and that they are tricking people into calling.  As far as I'm concerned this is definitely deceptive and most likely could be considered fraud.  Bottom line is that I am pissed. Just putting this out there in case someone else comes across this crap.  And you know what?  I wouldn't feel bad if random people from around the country called and told them what they think.  (It is a toll free call and I can call all day long from skype) Also their fax number is (904) XXX-XXXX Just saying.......  Someone might want to send a love letter.

Just some notes to help if someone is searching for what this is.  The note has printed on it: Delivery Notice Attempt Notice from GE Authorized dealer  GE Home Technologies. SAC Delivery notice.  Must call between  4:30pm and 8:30pm to schedule delivery.

Think I will fax this to them....

UPDATE (10/25/11)  Just after posting the above I took a loooong break from posting and I never really thought much of it again. Boy was I surprised ant the amount of traffic and the quality of the comments. First I want to thank everyone who has visited and commented.  The comments are pure gold, especially the ones that support this sleazy practice.  Please continue to comment and if there are new variations in the post-its send on a photo and I will post it here.  Also share this info on your favorite social media site and help your friends and neighbors be informed and stop this fraudulent advertising practice.  Nothing stops an advertising gimmick quicker than it not working.  

BTW:  Traffic to this post has been incredible and the GE logo is no longer used.  I say that is a win for the informed consumer.

Don't Itch On Me.

Its been a long time since i put something up on The BruHa, and quite frankly Ive been way too busy and unmotivated and disgusted with the state of the world to come up with anything new.  However a dear friend of mine, Captain Dave Champion Goat Wrangler and part time cow whisperer, used the team "Flea Party" in reference to the Wall Street Protesters.  Well I about shot my beverage out of my nose and decided they needed a flag that symbolizes their political movement.  So in less time than it takes a hipster to score pot in Zuccotti Park I put together this Flag.  Copy and paste freely if you like.  (If someone makes a flag send one on me please)

Update: Dave "The Amazing Bowel" has informed me that Ann Coulter is the originator of the term "Flea Party" and does not want the credit.

Linkomatic to relavant story

More of the same.....

The clue wagon is still empty.....  Today via e-mail I was asked to contact Jimmy......  no last name....  no contact info.......   Do I assume that this is in regard to a person named James that I have been working with.  You bet.  Does it turn out that it is a guy that I met only once before.  You bet.   WTF!  I am about to go out of my mind.  Did you know that people might call a person named James, Jimmy, Jim or even just "J"!  Did a google search Jimmy turns up 413,000,000 results.  Guess that should have narrowed it down from the 1,880,000,000 results that James gives up.  Does anyone know or care on how to communicate?  BTW Jim gives up 776,000,000 search results.  Add that up with the 6,920,000,000 results J gets you and one has 9,989,000,000 results.  Glad I picked the right one.

A continuing story.....

  It was a mostly normal day, smoky and humid, kind of like the arm pit of a vagabond on a June afternoon that had been bathing in liquid smoke , but just not as pleasant. I start and back my the van out of my driveway.  I pray to be broad sided; that would end my misery.  It would all end with a big multicolored fizz would that would erupt inside the van at the moment of collision, choking me, in a race to the death with the blunt trauma that shattered my bones and spleen.  Glorious!  They won’t be able to tell the snack meat apart from me, except for maybe the taste. I squint, back out  and…….. nothing.  I am on the road and alive.  Oh well. 

The trip is pleasant but short.  Unlike other trips this one just teases with only 12 miles of serenity.  Much better to have a trip of nearly 200 miles.  You get to think on those and burn much more gas.  I arrive at the shop.   Awwww shit here we go again…...

I get out of the van to load it.  It’s loaded but damn it once again the most important piece of cargo is missing from the manifest…….  It reads Clue one ea. Qty:___ (On backorder)    I get to go out without a clue once again.

UBL Burial at sea....

My daydream........

UBL's Burial at sea.... I can just see the ceremony. H-60 zipping along at 150 nmph, 50 off the deck', the formation lights off. Only the soft glow from the instruments lighting the bird. A pork chop sandwich is stuffed into the now mostly empty brain cavity of UBL and ...the words "Rot In Hell" are softly spoken into his lifeless ear by a cigar chomping Chief in sweaty web gear,....UBL's limp corpse is pushed into the darkness by the heel of a dusty boot..... No sound is heard over the choppers roar,........ and nothing is seen as he disappears into the black but a quick and faint photoluminescent splash aft of the birds flightpath, .....Pilot log book reads "Waste disposal" with the Lat & Long never recorded.

81 year old man sticks it to the bad guys.

Jacksonville burglar gets hit 'upside the head’ by 81-year-old victim’s frying and sticks him with a pitchfork too!

Hope they find the perp with a frothy sucking chest wound begging to be treated.

Glad your OK and thanks for your service Bobby,  Its appreciated!

Story    Video

Things just didn't pan out for whoever invaded 81-year-old Bobby Smith's Jacksonville home Saturday afternoon.

In fact, you might say the robber got the point - literally - after the Korean War Navy veteran was through with him.

Smith and his caregiver used a pan full of fried potatoes and a pitchfork to drive the attacker away. A compact man with a close-trimmed gray haircut, Smith said he wasn't scared.
"I was angry; I was upset; and I was as mad as all outdoors," Smith said Wednesday. "If I'd had my gun, like I normally would have, I would have shot him because he was in my home. I don't like people hurting my family or my home."

Smith was working in the garden of his longtime home on Phoenix Avenue about 11 a.m. when his 65-year-old caretaker, Luvina Sones, ran out and said someone was in the house. Smith walked into the kitchen and found a man next to the stove with a plastic bag with Smith's "JEA money" and the couple's ID cards in one hand, a gun in the other.

The man told Smith to "gimme what you got" before shoving him to the ground and taking his wallet, according to the police report. That didn't stop Smith, who said he "went back after him." He grabbed the nearest weapon, while Sones grabbed for something else to give him.

"I grabbed the frying pan and hit him upside the head. I knocked his teeth out ... and he went to the floor," Smith said. "There was a pitchfork about six feet away. ... I stuck him."

Hit in the head and stuck in the side, the intruder ran, "bleeding on the way out." He left his white baseball cap behind.
Police searched the area, and the K-9 dog ultimately returned with a gift.

"The cop brought the K-9 back to the porch, and the dog had the wallet in his mouth," Smith said. "He bowed. The dog bowed."

One neighbor told officers he saw the man earlier walking shirtless through another backyard, grabbing a brown shirt off a clothesline and putting it on as he headed toward Smith's home.

Smith said an officer told him he'd never seen anyone fight someone with "a pitchfork and a pan of potatoes."

Sexy Cookies

I saw these in the south west, most had the name Angel, Juan or Diego on them just above the Thong Icing. Must be a regional thing. In NYC you can get the same cookies, but they are a bit bigger and say Hector. Now depending on your tastes you can get the lighter shaded sugar cookies. These are very popular in the trailer parks of the south and the decorations above the Icing include, butterflies, tribal art and misspelled/ random Chinese phrases and taste just a little bit ….well…. Trashy.
