Our Love Song

This is our special love song. We had broken up and had just gotten back together ... after nearly a year of me trying to correct a big time mistake. Al Hibbler was the first version that we heard and became aware of the English lyrics. Even though we will never forget Al Hibbler's version, we have come to like the Il Divo version ... the most beautiful version ever of our love song.

Il Divo: Senza Catene (Without Chains) Italian lyrics

Non ho più catene ma solo piangerò
Lontano da te.
Non ho più catene perché so che
Il tuo amor è sol per me

E so che un dì ti rivedrò,
Ti stringerò ancor!

Guardo il ciel e so dove sei cosa fai
E dovunque andrai sentirai

I sospiri miei che per te, sol per te,
Parlano d'amor, del mio amor.

Non ho più catene ma solo piange
Il cuor lontano da te.
Non ho più catene perché so che
Il tuo amor è sol per me

E so che un dì ti rivedrò,
Ti stringerò ancor!

Il Divo's Senza Catene  ... Without Chains ... Italian lyrics translated:

I have chains no more

but I will only cry if I am far from you

and I know that someday I will see you again

and I will hold you again

I look to the sky and I know

where you are, what you do

and wherever you will go,

you will hear my sighs

they are only for you and

they talk about my love

I have chains no more because

I know that your love is only for me

and I know that someday I will see you again

and I will hold you again

Original Unchained Melody lyrics in English:

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow to the sea,
to the sea
to the open arms of the sea
lonely rivers sigh 'wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
Godspeed your love to me

We still hold hands at every possible opportunity when, together, we hear it.

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made. Our times are in his hand who saith, ‘A whole I planned, youth shows but half; Trust God: See all, nor be afraid.'    ~Robert Browning           

Olympian's Gold Medal Forfeited

It seems that American downhill skier and gold medalist had her medal taken and awarded to ... of all competitors ... the heretofore fourth place downhill skier. 

The IOC has just today announced that it has taken back the gold medal previously awarded to American skier Lindsey Vonn and gave it to POTUS, Barack Obama.

Olumpic officials said Obama deserved the medal more than Vonn because no one has ever gone downhill faster than the President.

There was only a tiny mention in the liberal American news media and it was deeply buried in amongst other items. After all it reflected somewhat negatively on the Democrats ... sort of one of those left handed things ... if you get my drift. It got more play in the foreign media.

The Thimking Dog

A dog with more brains than the POTUS and most of the current administration. At least the dog is more loyal to the his/her people who care than the latter is to the people who put him in position.

The Plan and PC Balance

A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men.

B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.

C. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.

D. In three generations, there will be no Democrats.

Political Correctness demands balance and objectivity ... except when stated by the liberal left ... such as shown in example posted. (Biblical Revelations 5:1-8 paraphrased)

4 Horsemen of the Republican Policy:

A. Aggression

B. Cynicism

C. Greed

D. Intolerance

Now everybody can be happy.

Personal Assault ... Addendum to 9/16 Post

In retrospect I have come to realize just how stupid I was to act on my own with regard to being assaulted a week ago. The woman, who was in a violent rage, could have easily been under the influence of "meth" or "crack" or some similar type of mind altering drug. She was so completely out of control in her wild rage that she was literally jumping up and down while screaming racial invectives (at me) as people tried to restrain her.

While under the very apparent influence of some chemical substance, she could have attacked me with a knife or some other weapon and then it would been too wet to plow. I could have been in seriously deep doo doo.

Wife has reminded me on more than one occasion that the epitaph on my tombstone probably should be, "He had the right-of-way."

I know that I have learned a very important lesson, thanks to the altercation that could have been much worse. I have been "preached at" enough about the potential dangers of taking things into one's own hands. Report to some LEO or rent-a-cop and let them handle the situation. Just suck it in and never, ever make any attempt on one's own to confront. One never knows what can result from a confrontation. Too many people have died as a result for doing what I did to instigate such unexpected actions.

At least it's not to late for me to learn. C'est la vie.

Lincoln Warned Us and We Have Yet to Listen

Following is from Lincoln's  address to the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield in 1838:

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte (Bonaparte) for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point, then, is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

We still haven't absorbed a single word of Abe's warning. Not even POTUS Obama and his entire administration who pay only lip service to and a phony professed admiration of Lincoln.

Negro Violence ... Personal Assault

Tuesday, 9/14/2010, I was visiting arguably the largest medical clinic in the southeastern part of the state. I drove onto a two lane drive and had to pull into left lane in get past a large SUV that was parked ... repeat parked ... in the right driving lane. Traffic was heavy and I finally was able drive around SUV to drop Wife off at the entrance. Then I moved on to a huge parking lot ... found a space and walked back to the clinic.

As I passed the large SUV that was blocking traffic big time, I tapped on the driver's window. Glass rolls down and I ... none too tactfully ... told the driver ... whom I had woken from a nap ... that she was blocking traffic and was not in a parking zone. She responded in explosive anger. No, that's a gross understatement. She, spewing pure nigger (Yes, she was just that!) invectives, jumped out of the driver's seat, cursing all the time, and slammed the door against me and threw me off balance. All the time she was raising unmitigated, unholy hell. In defense I pushed the door back into her before she was completely out of the vehicle. I did not physically touch her.

In case you haven't picked up on it yet, I am a  Southern male Caucasian. I make absolutely no apologies for the words I have chosen to use in this post. I can recognize impolite language. Negro, Caucasian, etc., are perfectly correct even though they are no longer in technical use due to political correctness. Here I used rude terms intentionally to make my point and still offer no apologies. It's my prerogative.

This young nigger woman driver physically attacked me like an enraged wild baboon while I was still a bit unbalanced and pushed me around the front of her vehicle and into a rough stucco wall ... hard enough that my my scapula hit the wall. As I pushed away from the wall my right forearm was scraped and I was bleeding like a stuck pig. About that time another (larger) Negro woman, whom I assumed was the person that the driver was waiting for, walked up and grabbed the driver from behind and tried to restrain her. All the time she (driver) was screaming invectives at me. Wild baboon woman appeared to be high on methamphetamine, crack cocaine or some such narcotic. I decided the best action I could take was to exit altercation scene. All the while the young nigger woman was screaming and fighting those trying to restrain her. By the time I was walking away from her I was told by witnesses that about a half dozen people ... all Negro, by the way ... were trying to restrain her as she continued to scream and fight like an enraged wild baboon from hell.

No clinic security was anywhere in sight. Finally a rent-a-cop appeared (after I was inside the building) and wanted to know my name. I asked if he were a policeman. He said, "No." I said, "I will NOT give you my name, only because you will give it to my attacker." I continued to the front desk to confirm my appointment and headed on to the the designated area. Rent-a-cop ... same race as wild baboon woman ... apparently got my name and destination location from the receptionist. I returned to rent-a-cop's booth and showed what wild baboon woman had done to me in the assault and he ignored me. There was absolutely no objectivity demonstrated on his part. He was NOT a witness to the altercation because he was nowhere around. He was fixated on wild baboon woman's raging rampage because I had "wounded her car" (her exact words) by tapping on her window with my car key.

She, the wild baboon woman, apparently insisted that rent-a-cop call city police. After several minutes in the upstairs office waiting area, two policemen appeared in the elevator lobby area and rent-a-cop pointed me out to them so Wife told me. I didn't see the policemen and Wife said, "They've come after you." I asked her, "What do you mean?" She said, "The policemen. They're right outside the glass door." One of the two young policemen came to me and politely whispered to me, "Please come outside (into the elevator lobby area) so we can have a word in private."

He proceeded to get my version of the altercation and his partner took rent-a-cop outside hearing range into an adjacent corridor. (It seemed rent-a-cop wanted to hear every word of our conversation.) Apparently satisfied with information I furnished, he gave me his business card with an incident number and told me I could go to police headquarters if I wanted to file charges. He said he gave the other party (wild baboon woman) the same options. I said I was indifferent to filing charges against her regardless of her attack. I have a sneaking suspicion that wild baboon woman WILL file charges and I probably will have no choice but to make an unnecessary three hour round trip.

As I have said elsewhere, c’est la vie.

Negroes and Violence. Why?

First of all, with regard to my use of the perfectly correct and respectable word -- Negro. It is of, pertaining to, or characteristic of the peoples traditionally classified as the Negro (Negroid) race. The designation, along with Caucasian, has fallen out of technical use due to the relentlessly odious and obsequious nature of political correctness. Until recently I was not aware that white people purportedly hate the word "Caucasian."  This happens to be the only opinion that I have read on the subject. Damn! I have come to dispise political correctness with a vengeance!

Negroes comprise a racial group with roots in Sub-Saharan Africa. Now they are a near majority in the American southeast and larger cities in the USA, e.g., Atlanta, Birmingham, Jackson (MS), New Orleans, Chicago, Washington DC, and arguably to a lesser extent, NYC, Los Angeles, et cetera. Negro crimes and violence run rampant in all these areas.

Now they are spreading to the rural south. In a nearby area a Caucasian woman was subbing to help a friend in a in a small check-cashing office directly across from a large chicken processing facility which employs mostly Negroes. The woman was just leaving the office when young Negroes forced her back into the little building and brutally beat her to death for the cash he carried. After more than a year three suspects were arrested. Trial date is yet to be set. Local news did not report whether they were employed by "Chicken Auschwitz" or were simply opportunists familiar with the operation's schedule.

One has only to read parts of research texts with regard to both cultural and social anthropology to understand that they are different from other races, especially Caucasian. Father figures tend to be weak to nonexistent in so many Negro families. Consider the numbers of single mothers, many with several offspring, each fathered by a different man.

There is ignorance, i.e., lack of education. No doubt poverty and the public dole (welfare) are a contributing factor to violent crime in Negro communities. After Katrina hit New Orleans (especially the Lower 9th Ward) people were doing not much of anything to help themselves. Generations had lived on government handouts and were just waiting and raising unholy hell because “uncle” didn’t move fast enough with their expected and demanded entitlements. New Orleans' brainless wonder of a mayor at the time, also a Negro, failed miserably to called into action hundreds of big yellow school buses that could have been used to evacuate several thousand of his own kind. Instead he let the just allowed them sit idle and until flood waters made them useless.

There are exceptions within the Negro community. Believe me. When there are exceptions they are, for the most part, outstandingly exceptional exceptions. Some, by virtue of their own efforts, and others with sponsors, have vastly improved their lives and even extended their their success to others of their own. Just two examples that come to mind are Anna Mae Bullock from Nutbush, TN and Oprah Winfrey from Kosciusko, MS. By the way, if you have no clue who Anna Mae Bullock is, just Google the name. She’s quite famous. Check out Jessye Norman, a true dramatic soprano, is one of the highest paid performers in classical music ... still singing. There is also Leontyne Price, America's spinto soprano, the first Negro woman to achieve an international reputation in opera ... now retired from the opera stage.

There are others who claim to help their own, but that is their line of basic bullshit. They make public appearances on the pretext of helping their own. Two notably infamous examples are the sycophantic parasites Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, They call themselves “reverends” which is simply ludicrous. Tawana Brawley of Wappinger, NY was a trumped up case where Al Sharpton (in 1987) brought attention to an alleged Negro rape victim by six Caucasian men. The controversial and overly publicized accusations were later deemed to be fraudulent by a jury of twelve.


They made their publicized appearances in New Orleans (post Katrina) and Jena, LA, allegedly in support of the ”Jena 6.” The much publicized appearances by those Scheißeköpfe (a vulgar  made-up word that is exchewed by native Germans) are only two examples of their grandstanding for personal gain. The contributions of Bullock and Winfrey stand out in stark contrast.

The evening news (?) broadcasts by the alphabet TV channels in Jackson, MS are repetitious to the extreme with their coverage of local crime by Negroes, young and old. The same applies to Memphis. Less often are reports of violent crimes committed by Caucasians. When a race in in the majority, that's where the most crime will logically originate.


Several years ago I read somewhere that families of Jews and Chinese had the lowest rate of juvenile delinquency. The low rate was attributed to strong father figures within both cultures. On the other end of the spectrum were Negroes with the absence of father figures in their lives.

Many crimes are Negro-on-Negro, but the number of violent crimes committed by Negroes on Caucasians are on the rise.

If one even bothers to read this rambling tirade and violently (no pun intended) disagree, remember this: Good, bad or indifferent ... these are my own opinions based on observations and perceptions. 

John Quale's Prince Poppycock

It seems that Quale has apparently lost out on one of his big dreams.  I have to agree, to an extent, with vituperative judge Piers Morgan. However Morgan did not have to be such a shameless arschloch about it. Poppycock was so dramatic, even in all his varied costume acts, that he had begun to get a bit tiresome. However, he could possibly do well on a Vegas stage. C'est la vie.

Huge Payoff for Kagan

A pain in the butt for us.

  Both appear to be suffering from

IBS ... Irritable Bowel Syndrome

aka spastic colon

As Solicitor General, Elana Kagan was POTUS Obama’s chief defense lawyer for cases in which petitions were filed with the USSC against him with regard to proof of his being … or not being ... a natural born citizen of the USA. She defended him well. As a result she got a huge payback when he appointed her to the USSC bench.

Someone checked out snopes.com with negative results being their only findings. Snopes stated that the allegations were false and there were no such dockets. Makes one wonder whether Snopes is operating under the influence. Either than or Snopes is covering for whatever reasons. Also makes one doubt the veracity of many of Snopes past and future findings.

A further Google search for Supreme Court and Obama-Kagan came up with the following examples of USSC docket files, thus proving Snopes was not forthcoming with their search results. One will probably need to copy and paste in the address bar to open the links. Seems not to have the "click-on" convenience capability.

Prince Popycock

My daughter put me onto this one. Normally I'm not a fan of AGT. This guy, Prince Poppycock, a stage character created by American singer, songwriter, and performer John Andrew Quale, is entertainment personified. This is the audition video that provides some background on Quale.

John Andrew Quale as Prince Poppycock

I think his next appearance on AGT is scheduled for Tuesday the 14th on NBC. I plan to watch that show segment just to see how he fares. Above video is from his original audition.

The trail head begins here if you want to see more YouTube videos of  this performer.

Radical Islamic Muslims’ Insulting Insensitivity Toward Americans

Right now absolutely no sensitivity is being demonstrated by Islamic Muslims to the citizens of the United States and especially those in NYC who view, and rightly so, that the building of a mosque and so-called cultural center in the neighborhood is insulting. They and their high profile idiotic American supporters are all fools. To name three ... Obama, Bloomberg, and Trump, who, under the guise of diversity and political correctness and their own naïveté, desire to do a screw job on the sensitivities of 9/11 survivors. There are other radical wing nuts who side with them. They have no shame.

O-Torii Gate
Miyajima, Japan

Another example of one group’s disregard for sensitivities of the natives took place on southern Honshu Island. I have forgotten the name of the foreign organization, but they built a shrine of sorts on the slopes of a Honshu mountainside. If one has ever visited Miyajima Island, that insulting shrine can be viewed through the famous O-Torii (sounds like o-tory-e) Gate in the water separating Miyajima and Honshu. The “shrine” on Honshu is dead centered through the “gunsights” of the O-torii Gate. The foreigners had no compunction with regard to insulting the Japanese. At least there were no senseless murders in the name of some radical religious fanatics.

On another hand the Catholic church backed off on plans to establish a Carmelite convent on the periphery of Auschwitz. It took about nine years of negotiations before the conflict was resolved in favor of the Jews.

In my not so humble opinion the Islamic Muslims don’t give one f*****g damn about anything but sticking it to the Americans. The same goes for the and Washington-New York “suits” who only think about themselves with regard to their own glorified ideas of diversity and misguided political correctness.

For those Muslims who believe in the infallibility of the Koran, aka Quran, or Qur'an; they believe a holy war waged on behalf of Islam is a religious duty. All infidels (nonbelievers) are targets in this war. Some are out-of-the-closet radicals while the others are still in the closet until the clarion call is sounded.

War Games

Been around the horn but still mildly entertaining.

The Sheepdogs by Russ Vaughn

Interesting poem with photo stills found on BLACKFIVE that is included on my list of military blog favorites. Credit is given here for a timely post by Uncle Jimbo. A reader will get a double hit of "...  we dogs of war" due to both the embed and separate credit links. I would like to believe that one will not object too strongly.

Black Glass Ceiling Broken

Now this man could well be Obama's worst nightmare. He seems to have intelligence ... in fact about 110% more than BHO. He has business experience and acumen ... a thousand percent more than our dumb ass POTUS.

Herman Cain seems to have it all and could be a worthy opponent in 2012.

No Joke

An Israeli doctor stated, "In Israel the medicine is so advanced that we can remove one man's testicles; we put them into another man, and in 6 weeks he is looking for work."



The German doctor comments, "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the brain out of a person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks he is looking for work."



A Russian doctor followed with, "That's nothing. In Russia we take out half of the heart from a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for work."



The U.S. Doctor responds immediately: "Come on, esteemed colleagues, you are way behind us. About a year and a half  ago in the USA  we grabbed a person with no brains, no heart, and no balls. We made him President of the United States. Now the whole country is looking for work"

Buchanan to Obama

By  Patrick J.  Buchanan

Barack says we need to have a  conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation.. White America needs to be heard from,  not just lectured to.... This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its  convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are  these: 

First, America has  been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and  reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever  known.. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an  American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans.  Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans,  legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.  Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks. 

We hear the  grievances. Where is the gratitude?

Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona?  And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America?  Is it really white America's  fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?

Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?

Is Barack aware  that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse,  that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first  three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al  about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.

Preceeding was taken in toto from mail attributed to Mr. Buchanan.

Putin, the Cowardly Lion

Here is another post of interest from La Russophobe.  See Putin's Internet Crackdown from which I lifted another statement from the whole.

Putin is a coward who fears the printed word in any form just as his Soviet ancestors did. He knows he is a failure, and that if he were exposed he would lose power.

Apparently KGB philosophy is so ingrained in his psychological structure that he can neither reform himself nor does he desire to do so.

Government Paternalism

Suggest you read The Blogosphere vs Vladimir Putin (La Russophobe) from which the following was lifted.

Russians are beginning to give up the flawed belief, grounded in decades of Soviet paternalism, that the government should solve their problems. Now, they are taking charge of their own affairs.

When will we, citizens of the USA, ever learn that we have met the enemy and it is us?

Il Divo Singing "Amazing Grace"

This rendition at Pula, Croatia is pure magic.

These four guys have been around for a while and 

theirs must be the most dramatic version of 

the old hymn, "Amazing Grace."
