If you need any further proof how much Obama hates America, here you go.
This is what I said earlier today in my post remembering this epic day in United States history.
"It will be interesting to see how Obama pays homage to those who lost their lives on December 7th, 1941 in comparison."
He did remember Pearl Harbor on his Facebook page but with a picture celebrating you guessed it, himself.
Here is the link as I just cannot post anything with his picture on here currently. PatriotUSA

December 7, 1941: Pearl Harbor 72 years ago. Never forget!
This is a re-post from three years ago and I have added some thoughts and reflections.
In 2010, this country was two years into Obama's first term. So many people were fooled, deluded and caught up in the big change that the United States had finally elected a Black man to the highest office in the land and the most powerful position in the world.
What do we have in 2013? A manufactured liar, cheat and avowed Marxist. One who is slathering and drooling over the death of the communist Nelson Mandela from South Africa. Obama ordered all flags be flown at half mast to 'honor' the Che' Guevara of Africa. Did Obama order the flags lowered when the Iron Lady of England, Margaret Thatcher passed away? No he did not. Obama barely recognized her passing and he snubbed England and did not send anyone of importance from the United States to
her funeral. Yet Obama and the world will drool and grovel over the finally dead Marxist Mandela, for days. It will be interesting to see how Obama pays homage to those who lost their lives on December 7th, 1941 in comparison.
Fast forward to today, three years later and this once fine Republic is on it's way to becoming 'Detroit', from left to right coast. Obama has been purging the U.S. military of the best commanders. Defense spending and programs have been slashes, jobs lost, not replaced, our enemies watered and fed on our own abundance, arrogance, and ignorance. The blood of patriots shed in the lands of our so called allies and the wholesale wrecking of what we used to know as America. We are burdened by ever increasing taxes hidden in almost every government program and regulations that are strangling small, mid size and even large corporations. So much so the most of the job growth is in government jobs.
Keep with me here as this is not going where you think I may be taking this post.
With all that we are facing here at home and abroad, it is easy to become downcast, defeated and start whining what good will result if I try to say, do anything or try to effectively change what is going on? Too many people are taking this line of thought and they are collectively giving up, just coping, accepting that this is just the new normal. If this is the road that you have chosen or are turning to, stop right here and please check out. Go out the way you came in but do leave the light on for others who interested in stepping out and trying to stem the blood loss before our Republic literally bleeds to death from the loss of American freedom blood.
What made me decide to run this post again? Laziness, too much pain and being beaten down time after time, losing too battles and winning very few of them? None of the above faithful readers, none of the above. Here is why I chose this post: AMERICAN EXCEPTIIONALISM and resiliency as exemplified by those who decided that a Japanese sucker punch in our American face was not be tolerated and would be defeated at any and all cost. We as individuals, FREE countrymen and women admitted we got punched and smacked hard from what happened on December 7th, 1941 but we refused to be beaten down or back by Japan and the Axis powers. The average become warriors, kings and queens to defeat tyranny. Bill Whittle summed it perfectly for me and maybe he does for you too:
"There are only shards lying before us, waiting for us to gather the will to reforge and wield them. It’s a decision, not a doom or a destiny, and we have to make it every day.
I don’t know if we can stop the destruction of everything we love in this world. I don’t know that we can destroy this all-seeing eye that seems to watch us all now, day and night, in this once-free land. I don’t know if all of my efforts will amount to anything at all, in the end, and I don’t know if yours will either. I only know that every day I will make a decision to do everything I can to make sure my land, my realm, my America does not fall into darkness today. " Read Bill Whittle's Shards here. You cannot help but come away stronger and with a light in your eye that NO ONE will be able to take away nor defeat unless you and I let them win.
This is what the men and women who survived Pearl Harbor did. They picked up the shards that remained and reforged the United States into a country which refused to be defeated by Japan and Nazi Germany. This is already a very rough road we are on. It will get rougher, it may get violent and if it does get violent, much American blood will be spilled, at home and abroad.
While Obama and the world's statists, humanists, far left Marxists pine over the dead communist, re-write history to make Mandel bigger than he ever was in life, I chose to honor December 7th, 1941, and the United States. I chose to honor those who lost their lives and those who served. Thank you to all who served in World War Two up to today, December 7th, 2013. Without you and your sacrifices, I would not be free to type these very words. PatriotUSA

Poverty With A View-Oregon is littered with traps-Updated
Updated!
Comment from a reader via email: Thank you for telling it like it is...
Welcome to Poverty With A View
Where great jobs are scarce but taxes and government overreach, are high.
****************
Look at that beautiful picture at the top of the post. Can you see all the evil traps it is littered with? If you look long enough I bet you will see some unicorns and look, there is Barack Obama riding one. Yes, it is true! And I have a 'Coors tree' on our deck that produces full cans of Coors year round. Well, not full cans BUT I do have have a Coors tree on our deck. A Picture of the elusive Coors tree will be at the end of the post. I promise!
Please read the wonderful guest opinion against trapping from one of my 'favorite' progressive regressive limousine liberals from Poverty With A View land, Bill Bodden. Mr. Bodden hates everything that a liberal should hate. He hates anything that resembles conservative values, morals and ethics. Mr. Bodden rails against his own kind yet he does not even see this as he is against classical liberalism that some of the Founding Fathers believed in. You will see what I mean and Mr. Bodden has been shared here before. I just cannot recall when. My response will be after Mr. Bodden's letter.
There you have it and according to Mr. Bodden, trapping is for sport, recreational and like other 'traditions', it must be banished because it is embarrassing. I do not think trapping is as embarrassing as the Obama regime is or the liberal progressive stupidity that governs Oregon or maybe abortions. Do I need to mention Cover Oregon again and that the program director resigned in disgrace after fleecing the taxpayers for millions of dollars? The site still does not work to this day. This gets a pass from the likes of Bodden. Oregon is not littered with traps, not even close. It is littered, overrun with liberals, far left regressive, oppressive collectivists like him. It is especially foul in on the left side of the Cascades in the Willamette Valley, Portland, Eugene, Salem, Medford. All of the them, havens for the denizens of the left. They are over on this side of the Cascades as well as evidenced by Mr. Bodden. I left out where he lives.
We cannot forget the children either now can we? Mr. Bodden tries to convince us that the poor children have been robbed of the joys of childhood by all those nasty traps that are littering the landscape of Oregon. Really? Our children can no longer "enjoy the great joys of childhood included running free across an open meadow, hiding behind trees in a wooded area, picking fruit from a bush and running along a river’s bank — areas trappers frequently use in Oregon. No more of these delights for the children we care about."
What a crock! I see children all the time doing these great joys of childhood in these areas NOT frequently used by the vast majority of trappers. I know a few trappers and they are extremley careful where and how they place their traps. I have also known some government trappers, Mr. Bodden and do you want to ban them as well? What will you say to the rancher, farmer, rural residents who have had their livestock butchered by wolves, coyotes, bears, cougars? Their beloved pets snatched off the deck or porch of their homes. Let me take this a little farther, Mr. Bodden. What about the children? What about when predators attack our children? This has already happened elsewhere. Should we tell the parents to just bang pots and pans or sit in drum circles and sing old hippie protest songs to protect our children?
One of the worst hypocrisies is how tragic it is to me that people like Bodden are so concerned about the children. Where is Mr. Bodden on the topic of ABORTION? How does he feel about all the babies that are murdered in the womb in the name of freedom of choice and being so progressive, modern, the wholesale murder of how many generations of aborted babies? How many future Presidents, warriors, statesmen and women have been butchered, torn to pieces and sucked out into a bucket? He is so concerned about little Susie or Billy stepping on a trap like children stepping on mines in Afghanistan yet he is all right with aborting babies and our taxes supporting federally sanctioned murder.
There is no logic to Bill Bodden's arguments against trapping, none. In my opinion and it is just that, he suffers from cognitive dissonance. What are the chances of a child being aborted or a child stepping on a trap? Look it up and you know which is more likely to happen. How about we ask Planned Parenthood?
Mr. Bodden, we are not being held hostage by a few hundred trappers. I would have say if anything, the people of this state are being held hostage by the likes of liberals like you. It is the oppressive regressive liberal voters who are actually concentrated in the big cities of western Oregon and the Willamette valley. Take those away and the state overall is oh no, conservative and votes conservative.
About those traps found in a local park and dog getting hurt? Very stupid to place traps there and very sad for the dog. How do we know some environazi or someone from trapfree Oregon did not place those traps in that local park? Such people spiked trees and loggers died from hitting those spikes. Do you condone such actions Mr. Bodden? I worked as a logger, cut into a few spiked trees and was nearly killed, twice. Such radicals are Eco-terrorists, Mr. Bodden. What would you say to that?
The fact that you, Mr.Bodden went out into the outdoors and never gave it thought about stepping on a trap is ridiculous. Do you watch for Rattlesnakles? I have ran a trap line in the far distant past and never encountered a single one other than the ones we had set. I have hiked, hunt for game and vermin, fished all over the west, in remote wilderness and populated areas and never encountered one trap. Maybe there were some, maybe there were none. I have found the remains of livestock, pets ravaged by predators. I have helped ranchers control coyotes when the population got out of hand. I have encountered a fair number of Rattlesnakes, scorpions, poisonous critters but not one single trap. I have encountered far more ignorant people in the wilderness or populated areas who did not think anything bad could happen to them. Yes, a child, adult, pet, horse may very rarely step on a trap and I agree, this is a terrible thing. It is also a terrible event when a badger lunges out of it's burrow and attacks your horse, your cattle dog or you. Trapping is tightly controlled in Oregon and for many it is extra income or they trap troublesome predators. Cougars come to mind as we can not hunt them with dogs and now they are a problem in some areas. You, Mr. Bodden want us to think we live in a war zone littered with a minefield of traps? Under the newest rules and regulations, any area that has traps has to marked and signed by the owner(s) of the traps. It is also illegal to disturb or vandalize someone' s traps. Do you think all trappers are stupid, ignorant rednecks or hicks? This is what your letter implies. I would call being taxed and regulated to death by progressive regressive liberals more 'nefarious' than the trappers, Mr. Bodden.
Trapping is not pretty nor is it violence free. Abortion, no matter how the procedure is completed, is bloody and violent. The circle of life and death is usually quite violent. Predators kill prey every day. You think a cougar eating a deer while it is still alive is pretty Mr. Bodden? A wolf ripping out the throat of of a calf or lamb and leaving it uneaten, killing it for sport is pretty because it is just nature? Or you think the predator is in the right because they were there first and it is the rancher, farmer who is evil for being where they are?
You want to enjoy the outdoors and our country? Then please ignore the ravings of a moron like Mr. Bodden and vote out of office those that support the far left views of Mr. Bodden. Traitors like Obama, Kitzhaber, Merkley, Wyden, DeFazio, and other liberal red diaper babies who want to tax and regulate us to death, ban any and all guns, make us slaves worse than we are now.
Here is that Coors Tree I mentioned at the top of the post.
As always, I remain your obedient and most humble servant. PatriotUSA

Letter: Time to banish trapping for ‘sport’
Published Dec 5, 2013
In a Nov. 19 editorial, The Bulletin
reminded its readers of a famous slogan originated by former Gov. Tom
McCall: “Come visit us again and again. ... But for heaven’s sake, don’t
come here to live.”
The evening before, KTVZ gave potential visitors a
reason to think twice about visiting Oregon when it reported that two
animal traps had been found in a popular local park and that one of them
had injured a dog. This happened in a community noted for its fondness
for dogs, also making it an ominous warning for local residents.
But it is not this particular incident that should
cause us to warn visitors about the hazards of visiting Oregon, seeking
to enjoy its renowned outdoors. This is not the first time a dog has
been the victim of a trap in Oregon nor, unfortunately, will it be the
last. The tragic story of the dog, Kieri, on a visit to the Metolius
River, is told at http://kieri.org.
A few months before Kieri suffered the injuries that
eventually led to her being euthanized, I was walking a trail along the
Metolius riverbank not far from the Wizard Falls Hatchery where she was
trapped. To get a better angle on some scenes I was photographing, I
occasionally stepped off the narrow trail, glancing only at the ground
to find secure footing. The thought that I could have stepped on a trap
and suffered severe injuries to an ankle never occurred to me. No more.
So what if you don’t have a dog? How about a horse
that could be caught in a trap? I know one equestrian who no longer
takes her dogs along on a ride fearing for their safety. Think about
that. Do you have children? What happened to many dogs in Oregon could
happen to your kids.
When many of us were children, some of the great
joys of childhood included running free across an open meadow, hiding
behind trees in a wooded area, picking fruit from a bush and running
along a river’s bank — areas trappers frequently use in Oregon. No more
of these delights for the children we care about. For those of us aware
of how Oregon’s public lands are littered with traps, we are like people
in a former war zone, fearful of stepping on a landmine. Though none
may exist in our area, we never know, and we judiciously consider the
possibility of a trap being in our chosen path and the consequences of
our or a loved one becoming a victim. You want to enjoy the outdoors
without fear of traps? Stick to asphalt paths or maybe remote wilderness
areas.
One of the great ironies of trapping in Oregon is
that there are only a few hundred trappers practicing this barbaric
“sport.” But they hold hostage all of the people who know they risk
injury from hidden traps where they would want to go for recreation and
endanger many others who are not aware of these hazards.
The tally of intended victims is horrendous.
Estimates put annual totals over 20,000 animals. But wait, as they say
on television commercials. There is another estimate of a similar number
of unintended victims that includes, on too many occasions, members of
endangered species.
Trappers defend their nefarious pastime with the
argument that it’s a tradition and part of our heritage. There are many
other “traditions” we have rightfully abandoned, and it is time to
banish trapping for “sport” along with these other embarrassments.
As in other states with trapping problems, concerned
citizens in Oregon are working to eliminate trapping for “sport” on
public lands. There is more information on this at
www.trapfreeoregon.com.

About that cool spell-now we are talking cold
So about our cool spell...getting almost downright cold here. It is already down to -4 and last night we had -5 or-6. Maybe set a record in the next few days.
The latest from the NWS/NOAA. Maybe I will be able to go ice fishing later this winter. Been a long time since I went ice fishing. We never had cushy digs like in this picture.
Of course, I just sold my car and am on the hunt for a Jeep or Dodge 4x4. I will have to venture to gag, Bend to look at some decent rigs. At least I will be sure they start in cold weather and all works as it should. Should have a bit of snow thrown in the mix just for fun.

The latest from the NWS/NOAA. Maybe I will be able to go ice fishing later this winter. Been a long time since I went ice fishing. We never had cushy digs like in this picture.
Of course, I just sold my car and am on the hunt for a Jeep or Dodge 4x4. I will have to venture to gag, Bend to look at some decent rigs. At least I will be sure they start in cold weather and all works as it should. Should have a bit of snow thrown in the mix just for fun.

A very dark day-Cry and Howl to shut down
A very dark day for me as I just read this from Cry and Howl.
I’m thinking it’s about time to shut Cry and Howl down. I’m tired of the total b.s.
My comment that I left for the owner of Cry and Howl:
"Steve, Understand but very unhappy. It is a something I understand. I have to take frequent breaks and have other contributors. May The Lord bless you and yours and keep you all safe. I will have one of my VERY rare Cuban ceegars in your honor. It is 5 degrees out and we are headed for -5 or colder tonight and I go outside to smoke. In your honor my friend, in your honor. Hope you will return at some point. Sigh………"
It is very hard work to run a blog and I am BLESSED to have a great watchdog named Bill Smith over at my site. I am blessed to have people like BC who takes on building a site like this to give me another platform to speak out against tyranny. I am blessed to have other contributors here on The 'Corner to pick up the slack when I feel like roadkill from too many orthopedic and spinal procedures and life has run me over. The loss of Cry and Howl is a big one for me and it should be for everyone else too. Every flame that goes out right now is one flame out too many. Steve is an excellent person and did his site on his own. I get it, I understand. I pray you recover and rest well and PLEASE come back soon. PatriotUSA

Hussam Ayloush's Tribute to Siraj Wahhaj
Gary Fouse

Siraj Wahhaj Hussam Ayloush
"One of the most prominent and respected religious leaders in America"
-Hussam Ayloush, November 16, 2013 in Riverside referring to New York imam Siraj Wahhaj
On November 16, the director of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) for Southern California, Hussam Ayloush, spoke before the Universalist Unitarian Church in Riverside, California on the on-going crisis in Syria. During the question and answer session, he was asked by a member of the audience (me) about the fact that the previous week during the annual CAIR conference in Anaheim, one of the featured speakers was Imam Siraj Wahhaj from New York. Wahhaj has referred to the US on video tape as a "garbage can", has repeatedly called for an Islamic takeover of the US, and was a character witness for the so-called "Blind Sheikh", Omar Abdel Rahman, currently serving a life sentence for his involvement in a plot to blow up New York City.
In his response to the questioner (me), Ayloush called Wahhaj, "one of the most prominent and respected religious leaders in America" and accused the questioner (me) of being a bigoted Islamophobe. The exchange can be viewed here at the 2:50 mark of the 4th video.
Here is what the questioner was referring to. First, the statement of Wahhaj that America is a garbage can.
As stated by the questioner in Riverside, Wahhaj testified as a character witness for Abdel Rahman at his trial. The transcript can be viewed here.(Hat tip Investigative Project on Terrorism)
Not only did Wahhaj testify as a character witness for Abdel Rahman, he himself was listed as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in the case (number 158). (Hat tip Peter Lance.com)
And if you are looking for quotes of Wahhaj advocating an Islamic takeover of America, you don't have far to look (Hat tip Clarion Project).
http://www.clarionproject.org/analysis/popular-muslim-iman-working-towards-sharia-america
“Islam is better than democracy. Allah will cause his deen [Islam as a complete way of life], Islam to prevail over every kind of system, and you know what? It will happen.”
"If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. If we were united and strong, we’d elect our own emir and give allegiance to him. Take my word, if eight million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”
“We don’t need to arm the people with 9mms and Uzis. You need to arm them with righteousness first. And once you arm them with righteousness first, then you can arm them.”
This, Ladies and Gentleman, is Siraj Wahhaj, the man whom CAIR's Hussam Ayloush described in Riverside on November 20 as, "one of the most prominent and respected religious leaders in the US."
No doubt.
Feeling the pain and about that cool weather...heh
Have a very nasty case of permagrump going on. Back issues are causing me horrible, breakthrough pain and just do not have much relief in sight. At least I have a distraction of sorts with this 'cool weather' that is settling in. The transplants here are really whining and sniveling. Babies.
Posting will be erratic at best from me. I have emails to answer and I am surprised Nick has not harassed me about the one I owe him.
Everyone seems to hate this weather except me but then I touched in the head as they say, oh well. I think I will go and clean all my guns. Thanks Andrea, for the fine music.
Here is the latest update from NOAA/NWS.
When the NWS is calling for zero or below here, it is always colder by a few degrees. That -5 to -15 mentioned below? Very real where we are might get even colder. Nothing like wood heat! PatriotUSA

DOWN OVER THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST. THE MAIN AREAS OF CONCERN
FOR SNOW RIGHT NOW LOOK TO BE AROUND THE CENTRAL OREGON AREA TO THE
SOUTHERN BLUE MOUNTAINS. TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY COLD...SO SNOW

SYSTEM...BUT OTHER CONCERNS WILL BE THE NORTHERLY GRADIENT FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY. WITH WINDS PICKING UP FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AND VERY
COLD MORNING LOW TEMPERATURES...WIDESPREAD WIND CHILLS BELOW ZERO

It is December and and we are overdue for a good, cold winter here in the land of Poverty With A View. The weather for the rest of this week and quite possibly through early next week is pretty cold. Long range models, which are dicey at best, are showing one, possibly two storms at the end of this week and weekend. When NOAA/NWS call for single digits here,, we always drop below zero at night and with a bit of a breeze, WIND CHILL! Not as cold as our neighbors to the north. We have enough firewood and teenage slave labor to split the wood that needs splitting to keep our EPA banned wood stove nice and hot. Not much snow as this system is too dry but that may be changing as the week progresses. Just enough to make the roads very slick and people drive like idiots here, for the most part.
Time for walk, a very slow and careful walk with AJ. He loves this weather. PatriotUSA

Fracking - the world is concerned...
Parts of the world anyway it seems. Note - Americans, not government, attempting to resolve our dependency on foreign oil.
From Stars and Stripes - Rise of 'Saudi America' will alter globe -- and perhaps US military strategy
For the past 40 years, U.S. presidents have launched distant wars, allied with autocratic sheikhs and dispatched naval fleets to protect sea lanes, all for the imperative of keeping foreign oil spigots flowing.
That imperative has now subsided. Rather suddenly, the center of gravity of global energy production has swung toward the Americas as shale oil and gas fields in North Dakota and Texas hum with activity. America is moving to the fore as the world's largest producer of petroleum and natural gas.
That change will reorder the globe in ways large and small.
U.S. experts say it will prolong the United States' position as the predominant global superpower. Arab nations that shook the world with the 1973 oil embargo almost certainly will be weakened. Russia will find its power ebb as European nations find alternate suppliers for natural gas. New energy technologies will reorder the scales of global winners and losers.
"There are not many times in history where you can see the balance of power shift," said David L. Goldwyn, founder of Goldwyn Global Strategies, an energy intelligence consultancy in Washington. "We are going to see that." Continue here..

The intelligentsia of Hollywood are also concerned...
