McCain Again?!?

        Well, with the election fast approaching, I knew TCY would have plenty to say.  Besides football, I think politics is his favorite thing to yell at people about.  I have seen him get all worked up over 3 things.  1. Football.  2. Politics.  3. Stupidity.
    TCY says. . .

            The upcoming election is less than one month away and there are still states arguing about who can vote and what ID must be provided to vote.  I really must say I don't get the argument on providing a picture ID. Those against this are saying that requiring a picture ID is RAAAAAAAACIST.  They say the poor can't afford a picture ID, or that not everyone drives.  The states that require a picture ID has offered FREE ID's to those that need them.  If the poor and the minorities can't produce picture IDs, how do they buy liquor and cigarettes?

Go to the poorest, most run down neighborhood and there will be a liquor store and no shortage of customers. So why is there such a problem when it comes to voting?

            This really isn't the biggest problem this country has when it comes to voting. It was originally arranged by our founders that only property owners could vote. The more you think about this, the wiser you find this decision was. Tell me how is it fair for a person that does not own property to vote for a property tax hike?  We have all heard the person on the street interviews of potential voters who cannot even tell you who is running for office.  Just last week I heard one where the interviewer asks this woman if she thought that McCain would have a better chance of winning this time. The women went on to say all the reasons why McCain would stand no better chance this time as he did last time, except she had no clue that he was not running this time.

            We have to take a test to exercise any number of our rights; driving test. test to pass on to the next grade, entry level test for employment. However on such a critical decision as issue is for  voting in our next leader, there is no need to check on the intellectual integrity of the the voter.  They can and often are MORONS.  This is how we end up with Morons in office such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and of course Barrack Obama!!! This is by the way, the number one reason that our school systems are always dumbing down the electorate. Dumb Ass Grads make Dumb Ass Voters = Democrat Majorities.

Smarten up this year and fight back

TCY

     So, with that being said, I still don't understand why they are saying that make us produce a picture ID is racist.  Are they saying that there is a race that doesn't get an ID?  Are they singling out one race? No, they just want proof that you are who you are.  And I do agree, all though it is profiling that all poor people drink and smoke but profiles exist because they are partly based on truth.  Someone won't go vote because they don't have a picture ID but they sure as hell can get a fifth of Jack and a pack of Camel's.  

      Since that lady wants to bring back a candidate that lost from a previous election, why not just go all out?  Let's bring back Clinton and Perot?  How many people would actually know the difference.  Hell, let's throw in JFK and see how well our school systems are really working.  At least that lady was talking about a live candidate.  

Ronald Post - Too Fat to Execute???

HaHa, Can't Kill Me, I'm too Fat, Now Get Me a Cheeseburger Pussy!!!

            Yep, you read that correctly.  There is a dude in our country that has been in prison for 30 years and is sentenced to death January, 2013 but due to his weight, it most likely won’t happen.  They say his fatness is preventing them from finding a vein to insert the needle.He can't exercise because his health prevents him. 

Let’s start this uplifting post with TCY’s opinion.

            In the news today a convicted killer in Ohio is due to be executed and  has his lawyers filling an injunction stating that he is too fat to be executed. Ronald Post was convicted of killing a hotel clerk in 1983. The lawyers are saying that his weight would cause problems during the injections leading to torture and slow death. Violating his 8^th amendment rights. 

            Now for the good part, HE has been in prison for 30 freakin years! Where were his lawyers worrying about his 8^th amendment rights for the past 30 yrs? How do you get to weigh 480lbs on prison food?  Seems to me that if the Ohio prison system allowed a prisoner to get that FAT!! That would lead to a slow and tortured death. Plus where is the accountability to the tax payer? How much does it cost to feed the behemoth?

Bottom line, if the needle won’t kill him fast enough, a bullet will damn it! FIRE!!!!

Here is a link to an article on this too fat to execute prisoner.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/17/ronald-post-too-obese-to-execute_n_1891472.html

                Ok, so we can’t execute this guy with a needle.  We definitely couldn’t hang him, because they are afraid it would pop his head off and we don’t want that to happen to a man we are trying to execute.  They don’t have stoning anymore.  We can’t electrocute him because he is too big to fit in the chair.  So, there are a few options that I can think of.  1.) Firing Squad.  No matter how big he is, a bullet in the head will take care of the problem.  It is legal in 4 states! Yep, I googled it, but too bad it is not legal in Ohio.   2.) Poison. A large enough dosage would put him to sleep all nice nice and he would never wake up.  I'm sure we could find a prison guard to accidentally put it in one of his many meals for the day  3.) Electrocution.  Up the voltage!  People die instantaneously all the time by touching live wires.  Don’t put him on old sparky, just connect the wires directly to his arms and hit the switch.  But yes, that seems a little too inhumane, it’s not like this dude is a convicted murderer right?  4.) How about they just put him in a hospital bed, yes they can find one big enough for him to lay comfortably but can’t find something to hold him while they fry him? Anyway, get him in a hospital bed and start the morphine drip! Maybe the morphine contraption will be made in Mexico or China and it malfunctions.  That’s all I’m saying.

He's Back!!!

He's BACK!!!

     

     Yes, it is true.  The Crankee Yankee has returned after a long hiatus.  But don’t worry; he is back with a vengeance!  With these attacks going on, I agree with TCY that something needs to be done, and even agree to give terrorists a taste of their own medicine, but not exactly the way he suggests.  First, if you don’t know what’s going on, over in Africa, here is a link to get you refreshed.

Here’s another link for what’s going on in Cairo.

The Crankee says. . .

9/11, the U.S.  suffered yet another attack from Muslims.  There is no need to call them extremist because that would be redundant. Don’t stand there and tell me that it is a small group of extremist that performed this attack on sovereign U.S.  land (the embassy), when the TV is showing hundreds of people protesting against America.

This is happening all over the world.  Why our government doesn’t understand that there is a holy war going on is beyond believe. The fact that the U.S. chooses not to participate in a holy war doesn’t make the fact that there has been one waging against us.

Fellow Americans, The Crankee, as always, has the answer that makes this go away. We have to fight on their terms. This is what they understand, this is what they respect. So here it is…..

                You want terrorism to rule the day, here’s how we play. The day after the attack on our embassy I would have targeted every elementary school house in that country for a missile attack to take place at 11:00am.  Extreme? You bet it is. This is however how we need to fight if we want to win this. Killing men who strap bombs to their own chest makes martyrs.  Killing the innocent makes mourners.  It has to hurt. There has to be such a big penalty for killing Americans that no one would dare think to try it ever again.

                A man might be willing to die for a cause; few are willing to kill their children for the same cause. Besides they are only teaching the kids to become the next generation of terrorist, so bombing schools makes good sense.  It kills off the next generation of weird beards.

Time to get mad

The Crankee Yankee

                As I do believe in retaliation, bombing innocent children is not the right way to go.  Let’s just say, President Obama grows a big ol’ pair of nutz and pushes the red button to launch every missle we have over there and disintegrates every little American hating kid.  I think that would just divide our country up and start another civil war here.  I think your idea of fighting fire with fire is right on the mark, but just not at the kids directly.  I understand that the enemy wants to and has killed Americans, then it's time to do what we do best and Kick Their Ass.  Just not the children directly.  I personally am all for dropping our vast supply of Nukes.  It ended the war with Japan pretty fucking quickly.  But what do I know.  I’m just a guy who gets the Crankee’s rants out to the general public.
