For over a year I have been warning the Republican National Convention they are headed for a disaster, but than again who am I? Just some small time blogger who has no reason to be taken seriously. I mean really who am I. I am not some rich bastard who bought his button. I am not some national columnist who has a forum, hell I am not even a local columnist. I am just a nobody.

Well you know what now we are hearing more and more Republican and Conservative columnist and talk show hosts saying what I have been saying all along. Sean Hannity is probably the biggest mouth of the RNC and he still wants to say that the RNC is the party of fiscal responsibility, and all the other cliches. B**lsh*t!!! The RNC has spent our money recklessly! They are involved in all kinds of scandals and morally reprehensible behavior. In other words the line between the RNC and the DNC is almost non-existant.

In USA TODAY for example they wrote and article entitled “Republicans fear public has lost confidence” in the article they quote Rep. Tom Cole from Oklahoma:

From www.usatoday.com:

Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who runs the committee tasked with helping elect Republicans to Congress, said Tuesday’s defeat in Mississippi — after losing GOP seats in other special elections in Illinois and Louisiana — was evidence that “a large section of the American people doesn’t have confidence in the Republican Party.”

The story gets worse. In the Washington Post there is an article entitled “Agitated? Irritable? Hostile? Aggressive? Impulsive? Restless?” columnist Dana Milbank talks about the reaction from various Republican House members after the House Republican breakfast:

From www.washingtonpost.com:

Leaving the weekly House Republican breakfast meeting yesterday in the basement of the Capitol, the congressmen wore grim faces. “How’s it going in there?” a reporter asked.

“Hard to tell,” said Rep. Phil English (R-Pa.), brushing past.

“I’m running late,” said Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio).

Among the few to emerge smiling was Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia; he’s retiring from Congress and just presented his colleagues with a memo about the many Republican ailments. Reporters asked Davis to diagnose his party.

“Well, this is the floor,” Davis said, stomping on the concrete beneath him. “And we’re underneath the floor.” Without strong medicine, he said, Republicans will lose 25 seats in November. “We’re the airplane flying into the mountain.”

Davis disappeared, and Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), the man in charge of the House Republicans’ campaign effort, appeared. He looked to be a candidate for mood elevation as he described the meeting he just left. “People are concerned, and legitimately so,” he said. “Clearly we’ve got problems that are deep and serious in terms of how we’re going to do in the fall elections.”

Still yet is the real canary in the coal mine. Trust me the canary is almost dead. CNN Politics highlights the plan Republicans are going to propose to try and make things better in an article entitled “House GOP unveils ‘change’ agenda for fall.” In this article we find the following statements made in the agenda statement provided to CNN:

“Today’s families face challenges that yesterday’s laws don’t address. Sixty percent of mothers with children under are 6 are now working outside the home. The majority of families have not one parent working but both parents working.”

The agenda goes on to argue that laws need to be changed to provide American families with “more freedom in their jobs; greater health care and retirement security; safer communities; access to quality, affordable education; and the ability for future generations to compete in the global economy.”

WHAT??? The problem is that we got away from the laws originally provided for by our founding fathers. They never intended for the government to be our nanny, to be our Savior or to be involved in every aspect of our lives. Sadly because they have done all of this we have both parents having to work to make ends meet. We have to pay a large part of almost any monies we receive to the Federal monster. We have to appease the money hungry whores in Congress and we have allowed corporations to run our government.

As I wrote when I started this post out I have documented the slow and steady decline of both political parties and the RNC in particular. In all these articles I have repeatedly warned the RNC and DNC:

Why My Politics Are Changing, Or Are They???
Why Are RNC Frontrunners Afraid Of YouTube?
5 Reasons Mel Martinez Is Bad For The RNC
RNC, What The Hell Are You Doing?>
Tired of Republican and Democrat? A Case for a Third Party
Why Are We Just Taking It?
Is A Revolution Coming?
Wake Up Democrats and Republicans!
Stand Up America
The Politicans Won’t Listen!!
RNC, What The Hell Are You Doing?

And many, many more

Lets take a stand America. Quite listening when you are told by Limbaugh or Hannity or any other talking head that any vote made by a Republican not for McCain is a half vote or a wasted vote. It is neither. If you choose to right in a candidate maybe it will wake the RNC up and make them realize that we will not be puppets and pawns in this little game of theirs. The two party system is a miserable failure and this current race goes to show this. Vote you conscience, vote for the candidate of your choice. Jump off the RNC bandwagon until they decide to listen to the nobodies of this world. Maybe then they will see the error of their ways and return back to a party of responsibility that can be trusted to carry out the will of the founders.

Over 160 homes have been destroyed by a wildfire that continues to burn in Brevard County on Central Florida’s East Coast. The fires have spread until there are over 108 separate fires currently burning over 3800 acres.

The fires in The Palm Bay area are for the most part under control, the big one in Malabar is still raging on. Authorities suspect arson.

Gov. Charlie Crist toured the area where he has declared a state of emergency. Federal officials Tuesday authorized funding to reimburse the state’s firefighting costs in Brevard County.

We at the Tampa Pirate hope they catch the arsonist, and pray for the people who are affected and the firefighters risking their lives.

Intepol has caught another sick, twisted pedophile Wayne Nelson Corliss. Corliss has been on the wanted list after having sex with three underage boys in Thailand six years ago.

Here is the part that all parents should pay attention to. The 58-year-old Corliss works as a small-time actor and painting faces at children’s parties and used to dress up as Santa Claus on the side. WTF is wrong with guys like Corliss? It should make every parent sickened, but sadly most parents are either too stupid or too oblivious to even care.

I do have to wonder if John Stossel believes the relationships he had with the three underage boys would be considered just another Romeo/Juliet relationship? Hmm who knows. He surly didn’t care when he talked about how backwards ass we are in America because we don’t believe in lowering age of consent to 9 as in Yemen. How progressive…

I hope Corliss is sent to prison for the maximum sentence and he doesn’t see the light of day for a long, long time. Who knows maybe the elves will come save him…

I am blown away at the response we received about the Petition to Disney. I have submitted my fist set of signatures and want to submit the rest by the end of next month. If you know someone who is interested in being a part of something big, please get them to sign the petition.

Thanks to all who have signed so far.

Since 1962 Burma has been run my a military junta that has allowed its citizens to suffer. They are a perfect example of unchecked, forced Socialism. In 2007 a report came out that showed just how badly the humanitarian crisis in the country had become. Here are some of the low points of the report:

While 40 percent of Burma’s annual spending goes to the military, only 3 percent goes to health care.

The researchers found that the widespread distribution of counterfeit antimalarial drugs, coupled with the rise of drug-resistant malaria and tuberculosis, pose a major health threat to the Burmese people, especially those living in border areas where health care is scarce, if available at all.

Burma has one of the world’s highest tuberculosis rates and is home to more than half of Asia’s malaria deaths. Those most vulnerable to disease epidemics there are ethnic and religious minorities, displaced farmers, commercial sex workers and intravenous drug users.

Drug trafficking has also played a major role in the spread of HIV/AIDS among intravenous drug users and commercial sex workers. In addition, aggressive campaigns by the Burmese government and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime to eradicate poppy cultivation and heroin production have led to the displacement of tens of thousands of families who have no alternative source of livelihood. Many have relocated to the Thailand border, where communicable diseases are thriving. Meanwhile, methamphetamine production in Burma’s border regions is rising.

With this rosy humanitarian picture lets look at the newest crisis Cyclone Nargis. Cyclone Nargis tore through the Irrawaddy river delta region, and it appears the death toll could reach 100,000 with millions more in crisis. With that type of disaster you would think the junta would allow for humanitarian help. Well sadly they aren’t. Many countries including the US and France have planes, ships and disaster teams waiting at the border for permission to enter the country, still the junta won’t let them come in.

According to the VOA President Bush sent this message to the junta:

“Let the United States come to help you, help the people. Our hearts go out to the people of Burma. We want to help them deal with this terrible disaster.”

We hope and pray the junta will do the right thing and save their people before its too late.

As many are aware I am part of some anti-pedophile groups that help stop the lies and propaganda that is spread by many online pedophiles and pedophile activists. They belong to sites with names like Boychat or Girlchat and in those sites they discuss some of the most offensive subjects I can imagine. One posting was from a pedo that said he had trouble going to the bathroom in family restrooms because he gets turned on fantasizing about raping a baby on the folding changing tables. WOW! How could anyone think such a terrible thought and even get turned on by it?

To listen to them though there is nothing wrong with them having these thoughts as long as they don’t act on them so they should be left alone. The problem is that these are the guys that need the most help. They are the ones that have so far separated themselves from reality, they see babies and children as sex objects and not tiny humans who need to be protected and cared for.

Now there is a group of pedophiles and activist who are trying to sue anti-pedo activist in a class action suit. The funny thing is that they can’t get an attorney to take the case, but they will try none the less. I am named in the lawsuit which is even funnier. I look forward to have my day looking Jan Kruska, ZMan aka Michael James Gregg, Dylan Thomas and many other pedophile and pedo-activists in the face and being able to present my evidence against them. You see of the activists they hate I am the quiet one that watches them wherever they may be. They think they are safe behind proxies and using anonymous accounts, sadly they are mistaken. I look forward to watching many of them being hauled off to jail for associating with other convicted felons and pedophiles against the terms of many of their supervision/parole/probation.

If any sane person doubts what I am saying lets take Jan Kruska for an example. She is a convicted child molester and an activist for pedophile and registered sex offender rights. She portrays herself as just another of the innocent victims of the system, but here is the reality. She was 22 or 23 when she molested a 15 year old boy under her care. Jan insists she is not a pedophile and doesn’t believe in helping further pedophile causes, but here are the facts. She one of the proponents of the 2007 No More Victims Act first proposed by Dylan Thomas of Boycat fame. Yet here is a recent post by Dylan Thomas concerning pedophiles receiving help from mental heath professionals. So is Thomas and Kruska really trying to protect children? I will let you decide.

When John Stossel did his farce of a 20/20 report entitled “Age Of Consent” he portrayed Kruska and others like her as poor innocent victims, while portraying the people trying to stop them and their lies as bullies. He and his staff did not do any worthwhile research. Instead they did shoddy reporting and now pedophiles all over the net are using his show as ammunition that the public will soon accept them as just another alternative lifestyle.

We have to stand up now and unite as parents and protectors of children and expose the lies and propaganda for what it is. We must stop this spreading cancer before it ravages the whole body.

Here are some sites from some great anti’s who will never shy away from a fight. They are tough and fight in the trenches everyday to try and keep all of our children safe from the monster who want to steal their innocence.

Well have you heard enough yet about going “Green”? I think that for now on the Tampa Pirate will be going “Green”. I will no longer pollute the environment with the truth, I will instead whine and wring my hands about global warming, no wait is it global cooling, oh thats right now it’s called “Climate Change.”
I love it. Because the sheeple climbed on board the idiot train and began cramming global warming down our throats, and acting all holier than thou. Now that the theories are being debunked, for them to admit that they chicken littled would be an embarrassment. It is easier to just reword their nonsense by calling what is happening “Climate Change.” Please make up your minds.

Please get your crap straight before you all end up screwing up the Earth completely. The earth has been around millions of years longer than us, and I am sure she knows how to take care of herself. If she gets too hot, she makes it cloudy and drops the temperatures. If she gets too cold she warms the earth by taking clouds away.

There are some other brilliant bloggers out there who speak the truth. Here is a short list:

You know what just occurred to me?  Moms have super powers.  Allow me explain.  A few days ago my little one came bursting in through the front door sobbing.   I went from person sitting on the sofa relaxing, into “mom me” at the speed of mom.    Mom me is quite different from regular me.  Mom me says things like ‘You’re gonna poke your eye out with that thing’ and ‘No’.  No, as a matter of fact is a word that mom me is quite adept at using.  Probably from all the years of practice during each of my children’s toddler years.  Mom me firmly believes in having a no at the ready in every circumstance whereas regular me would never dream of being so negative.  The speed of mom is the ability that moms have to, in this case, assess just by glancing that the sobbing was born out of injured feelings rather than injured body.  It also comes in very handy during those moments when disaster seems inevitable but the speed of mom kicks in and allows mom to move across a room in one step and remove the vase she was sure was out of reach but now teeters on the edge of the shelf, because clearly the height of that shelf was no match against her two year old’s ability to stretch his or her arms beyond any natural point she could ever have imagined.  There’s a few others, but those are the ones that come to mind at this moment.   So, after assessing that my little one did not need medical attention, I asked what the matter was, which was exactly the prompt she was waiting for so that she could proceed in telling me exactly what had happened.  She made her way to the sofa, collapsed into it with more drama than even Scarlett O’Hara could have mustered and exclaimed “I hate Anthony!  He’s mean mom!…Just MEAN!”  Anthony is her big brother who loves her very much, but truth be told…he is mean.  Oh, has concern for her.  He totally protects her and will even, on his way out the door inform me that ’he’s just gonna go check on Kaitlyn for me…okay mom?’.  Understanding that another prompt was required, I futher implored “What did he do?”  And THAT was the last prompt needed for the next several minutes.  Through much 8 year old angst, it was revealed to me that the pedal on her bike had broken and Anthony wouldn’t even help me mom.  He just yelled at me and told me it was my own fault when it WASN’T my fault, it was Sara’s fault because SHE’S the one that dropped the bike to the ground and broke it and he didn’t even help me mom!  As the rant and the sobbing subsided, I put my arm around her and in my best consolatory voice told her I was very sorry that had happened to her and asked if there was anything I could do to help her.  To which came her immediate response through a renewed round of sobs ”Can we SELL him?!?!?” 

Thank goodness my mom ability to contain myself kicked in and permitted me to respond.  “Well, I don’t know that we’d get a whole lot for him at this point…maybe we could hang onto him a little bit longer?”  She rubbed her eyes satisfied that there was still hope and went back outside to play. 

And that’s all for now.  Ciao!  Hasta la pasta baby!

It is tragic to see the current list of candidates running for office. They do not represent us, they represent their special interests. The current flap over remarks made by Obama at a private fundraiser shows just how ridiculously out of touch all the candidates are. Here is part of what he said:

“You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them, and it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,”

Of course Clinton and McCain jumped on him by calling him elitist and out of touch. LOL. That is the pot calling the kettle black, no pun intended. Obama was partially correct, the American middle class is getting bitter, but the reason is because of corporate and government corruption that threatens to destroy our country as we know it.

All three candidates think the government can fix the problems with our economy. It seems that 90% of the American people think so too. Because 90% of my fellow American are apparently brainwashed and blinded by ignorance they either don’t care or think that the government can help them. Well here is the truth. The government, corporate America and the Federal Reserve all are responsible for getting us into this economic mess. Translated, the rich have been getting richer at the expense of the American middle class. Clinton, McCain and Obama, as well as 95% of all Washington politicians and 100% of the media, fall into the rich class.

They want us to live in fear. Fear of terrorism, fear of disease, fear of death and fear of just living as Americans. The politicians and the media want us to be dependent on them. If we are to survive we must get back to the idea that we control the government, not the rich. The ruling class in this country needs to be ended. We have to start standing up for each other and our nation again. Protect the innocent and punish the guilty. We have to take back our government soon or we will lose it forever and never get it back.

Tampa’s Back Door Ways has a great article about the candidates entitled The Big Picture. Check it out HERE.

Al Gore and his Sheep have convinced so many people about the myths of climate change it is very hard to even discuss other concepts. If you are like me and more than 90% of climate scientist who believe that the current warming is in fact just another Earth cycle here is a simple way to show simple people that Al Gore was wrong about something else.

Al Gore alleges that if the polar ice caps melt the seas will rise and destroy all our coastal cities and blah, blah, blah. Here are some facts that get omitted:

We know that all the water in all its forms is the only water that ever has been or ever will be on this Earth. Whether it be rain, ice, snow, humidity, oceans, river, etc. the amount of water is about the same.

The polar ice caps sit in water and displace by weight water equivalent to the amount of liquid water. If they melt, the amount of water in the oceans doesn’t change, just the state the water is in. (Still don’t believe me? Take a glass of water and add ice cubes. When the ice melts look at the glass. SURPRISE!!! The water level is the same as it was before the ice melted.)
