Underdog Militia Report

When I first started this blog it was because I have something to say. I want to report on the news from my point of view. Specifically focusing on the Capitol region of Pennsylvania. I even started putting videos on a youtube channel and started a podcast on this blog. I plan to put a podcast up at least once a week, most likely on the weekend.

Now I do go to a regular wage slave job. I have a rule about not writing or discussing my “job” or company on the internet. However, I will say this, it is a great company, and in this economy I am glad to be there. On the other hand it does cost me money to maintain my web server and this does take up a significant amount of my spare time. Not just writing articles but, research, recording, editing, etc. (continue reading…)

I don’t know if I was the first to say it. I did a quick search on the internet and the other uses of that statement were tracked back to me. Either directly or indirectly.

Conformity is theft from posterity.

What does it mean?

I saw this article online. I wasn’t going to write an article about it until I started reading the comments.

First of all I didn’t read all the comments. However, I did read enough to get the general Idea about what people were saying.

Also, as a student of history I must point out that throughout most of recorded history teenagers had both the rights and responsibility of adults.
The idea that teenagers are children is a relatively recent phenomenon that started around the late 1890’s and really exploded in the 1950’s.

However the average idiot out there has no problem imposing the responsibility of an adult to someone as young as 12. Hence they are put on trial as adults for victimless crimes, in addition to crimes where there are a victim.

If one 14 year old is charged with a crime as an adult, then all 14 year olds should have the rights of an adult. Including the right to vote. And if you have a problem with that stop charging teenagers as adults. If someone is too young to be allow to do things that adults are allow to do because you think they are unaware of the consequences of their decisions then they should not be required to be held to the consequences of their actions in criminal court. This can included a criminal record that closes plenty of doors and ends many future career options.

Joe Musso announced that he is going to run for mayor of the city of York.

I actually agree with one of his goals: “— Promote a police chief from within the police ranks.”
I’ve always supported promotion from within. Promotion from within encourages people to do their best in expectation that they may someday earn a promotion. I’m not just writing about police departments. Too many companies are run by people with the “give the new administration, management, supervisor position to my old (college, other company) friend”.

Now it may seen ok to the HR manager who doesn’t give a shit. The message it sends to the rank and file who worked hard for years is “fuck you, I don’t give a shit about you or the company. I’m just here to line my own pockets.” It also says to the rank and file people who worked hard— “don’t bother giving 110 percent because your hard work is not going to be rewarded.”

Back to Joe Musso. Here’s the problem. Years ago when he first got on the York city council, he bought city owned property for pennies on the dollar from the city, and then he turned around and sold the property at full market value. I believe he pocketed a nice profit too. There was an article in the local newspaper about it when it happened.

I was hungry for some cheese sticks today. So I’m driving down I-83 in northern York County. I called one of the few places that make decent cheese sticks and asked for two orders of cheese sticks. When I got there about ten mins later the person at the counter handed me a little bag that contained ONE order of cheese sticks.
“WHOA! hold on,” I said, “I asked for TWO orders of cheese sticks.”

The person at the counter got the paperwork out and said, “One order of cheese sticks, I can make you another.”

At this point I’m not pleased because I called ahead so my food would be ready before I got there. I had no intention of waiting since it was a bimbo’s incompetence that messed up my order.
I handed that bad back, let the 2 liter bottle of Dr Pepper I was going to buy on the counter and said, “forget about it.”
Then I walked out the door.

Ok so I’m still hungry. Perhaps I should go to Sonic and get cheese sticks. However, the last time I went to Sonic there was a line of sheep waiting to even find a parking space. So Sonic was ruled out for now.
Then I see a Five Guys Burgers & Fries. Apparently it is one of the few places that uses fresh cut fries, although they wouldn’t show me a potato. (continue reading…)

In this report I discuss some of the Pennsylvania republican primary election results for Tuesday may 19, 2009.
I also discuss public nudity. Liberty, firearms, the economy, mercantilism, and I also have something to say about the 14th amendment.

On Tuesday May 19, 2009, the voters of York County Pennsylvania denied the incumbent District Attorney the Republican nomination.
Tom Kearney won the Republican nomination for District attorney of York County. Mr Kearney is a former assistant DA who also happened to be the last person who ran against Mr Rebert, back when Mr Rebert was first elected to the office of District attorney in 1985.

Unfortunately the republican nomination for two judges of the court of common pleas of York County went to taskmaster union endorsed candidates. Chuck Patterson (one of Rebert’s henchmen) and Harry Ness.

I’m planning on recording another Underdog Militia Report podcast at the end of the week with more detailed coverage about the election. I might also be discussing other news & events. I’m also going to tell you a story about courage and cowardice.
