Pervert Pastor

Well, we’ve caught yet another pervert in sheep’s clothing. This time, (and yet again), it’s a pastor of a church that has been ‘flirting with the flock’, so-to-speak. In this instance the preacher actually managed to ‘increase his flock’ and has been paying child support for a while. It amazes me that the members of these churches are not getting fed up with these repeated ’sins’ committed by their so-called leaders. Here’s the story on the latest pervert from the Mobile Press-Register…

Pastor Charged with Sex Crimes
Thursday, November 29, 2007

Staff Reporters

The pastor of a small Washington County (Alabama) Baptist Church was arrested and charged with second-degree rape and second-degree sodomy in connection with a nearly 10-year-old incident involving a 15-year-old girl, authorities said.

The Rev. Leonard Frazier, 55, of Stonewall Baptist Church near Chatom, was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail on Tuesday on the basis of a grand jury indictment. He was released on bail totaling $15,000, according to jail records.

A phone call made to Frazier’s home in Mount Vernon on Tuesday evening resulted in no comment. No one answered the telephone at the church Wednesday.

The alleged victim is now in her mid-20s, said Steve Giardini, the Mobile County assistant district attorney who prosecutes child-abuse cases.

“It took a number of years for her to come forward,” he said.

There is no statute of limitations in Alabama involving sex crimes against children.

State law holds that second-degree rape happens when someone 16 years old or older engages in sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex who is less than 16 years old and more than 12 years old, provided that the offender is two years older than the victim.

Giardini said he was unsure if the woman has ever been a member of Stonewall Baptist Church. She is not a blood relative to Frazier but did know him through her family, the prosecutor said.

As with any case, Giardini said, anyone with information about allegations against Frazier should come forward.

“At this time, I’m not aware of any other complaints,” Giardini said.

Court records show that Frazier was involved in a paternity battle in 2000. A Malcolm, Ala., woman filed suit against Frazier and another man.

Blood tests connected Frazier to the child, and he was ordered to pay monthly child support until 2004, the records show.

Marriage records show that Frazier married Berthia Jo Boxley in 1980.

Jail records list Frazier’s address as the 19000 block of Pine Grove Church Road, Mount Vernon, in northern Mobile County. In October, however, Frazier and his wife bought a home in Saraland, according to mortgage records.

On Tuesday, two members of the Chatom community expressed shock about the news of Frazier’s arrest.

“I find him to be a righteous man, and his life has always been lined up with the word,” said Roscoe Gatson, chairman of the deacons’ board at Stonewall.

Gatson said the church, which has fewer than 100 members, is in the Jordan community.

Cleophus Stephens, a Chatom city councilman and chairman of the deacons’ board at Lilly Grove Baptist Church in Chatom, said Frazier is well-liked.

“He is a nice person, and he lives in Mount Vernon,” Stephens said. “I don’t know about his life in the community, but people around the church really like him.” (Goes to show what they know, doesn’t it? ~Bull)

Hopefully this pervert will get to sped some ‘quality time’ with other of his ilk in our local jail and the fine Alabama State Prison System.

The Bull keeps getting asked why I post these stories, often before the court case is settled. Simple. I post these stories because they never make it to the press unless the case is nearly air-tight and because I want Society to be aware of these monsters. Both who they are and where they are.

Fore-warned is fore-armed.

Bull, out.

‘Slick Willie’ endorsing ‘Hitlery’. No Surprise.

‘Slick Willie‘ spoke out in ‘Hitlery’s‘ favor yesterday. Here’s a bit of what that aging hippie-sex freak had to say about his ~~dominatrix~~ er, wife. (Quotes are from Fox News Online.)

Speaking for more than an hour, Clinton discussed his wife’s agenda and experience in exhaustive terms, sprinkling the remarks with asides about his presidency and his activities on the world stage since he left office in January 2001.

“I think she has proven in all these debates, and especially the last one, that she is the strongest, most reliable person that we could elect,” the former president told more than 400 potential voters at a YMCA gym.

“Proven“? All that the woman has proven is that she can, and will, say or do anything to gain power over as much of the world as possible – starting with projecting her long established Socialist agenda on America. Lies, bribes, false charges – who knows what else. Hasn’t anyone noticed how she magically lost the hyphenated last name when she thought that she could capitalize on the name ‘Clinton’? So much for standing on principles. I guess it went the way of straight answers.

In three eastern Iowa stops, Clinton made a personal appeal for voters to back his wife. He said his opinion should matter because “I know what it takes to be president” and “because of the life I’ve lived since I left office.”

He seemed to suggest that the nation needs a return to 1990s sensibilities.

What the hell does that mean, Willie? “I know what it takes to be president because of the life I’ve lived since I left office.” It is The Bull’s best guess that Willie is forced into using his post-White House life as a gauge since he spent the majority of those eight years in the panties of interns or dodging thrown White House dinnerware. Right here, folks, is a shining example of how a Clinton can speak much without saying anything.

1990’s sensibilities? Letting anyone and everyone get the upper hand on America, opening our borders to any piece of shyte that wants to walk across, encouraging terrorist, refusing to take action against those that would harm us, lying through his teeth to America at every opportunity, scandal-of-the-day news coverage… The list of atrocities is far too long to list. No thanks, asshole.

“Here’s why I think that she is the person to bring us the right kind of change that we need. First of all, what kind of change do we need? We need to get American back to the future. We need to get America back to the solutions business.”

He said his wife has the experience to be president, noting among other things her work as Arkansas’ first lady on behalf of school standards, her travels as the nation’s first lady to 82 countries and her victory as a Senate candidate in several GOP counties in New York.

Left off his list of Sen. Clinton’s experiences: her stewardship of the Clinton administration health care plan that failed in the 1990s.

“You need somebody who is strong, competent, has a good vision and never forgets what it’s like to be you,” Clinton said.

Bill is right about that last line. He just failed to finish the statement. It is true that Hillary never forgets what it is like to be an average American. And she loathes the memory. Being American has never been a ‘good’ thing to Hillary, hence her rabid desire to derail the Constitution if possible and destroy our way of life.

He pulled a pledge card out of his pocket, held it up to the crowd and asked people to caucus on his wife’s behalf Jan. 3.”The reason I want you to sign one of these cards is because I know her,” he said. “I hope you make her the next president because she would be a great president and you would never, ever regret it.”

Bill, I regret your presidency and Hillary was only the ‘First Lady’. (Actually she was much further down on Bill’s list but you know what I mean…) I can guarantee that not only The Bull, but all of America would come to regret the day that Hillary should take the oath of office.

I’d have to find the kid that printed the white-on-black bumper sticker that I kept on my car during the entire Clinton administration to make me another. It never once failed to get cheers every time it was read. It simply said:

“Kevorkian for White House Physician”

Bull, out.

A Birthday Gift for Lady Beth

Yep. I’m early. Which, of course, is much better than being late when it comes to birthday gifts. Lady Beth’s birthday isn’t until next month.

Anyhoo, I thought you’d like to see her gift…

This is a Giant White Knee tarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata). She hasn’t named this one yet…

whiteknee-2

Now this is just a juvenile tarantula. This species can grow to a whopping 8.5 inches (21.6cm)! Something like this beauty named ‘Bojangles‘.

Happy Birthday, my Love!

Bull, out!

Simply Rugged: Working Leather for Real People

Disabled or not, The Bull makes an effort to keep busy, mentally if nothing else. Having six kids tends to eat up ‘down time’ fairly quickly as well. Nevertheless, I’ve been horribly remiss in not getting this post out sooner. One advantage to the delay is that I can now write this review with a couple of month’s worth of daily wear and the experiences that brings.

Sometime back, about a year or so ago, I finally acquired the revolver that I’ve wanted since I first heard Ruger was planning the project. A Ruger New Vaquero. There is something almost magical about a working single-action revolver, especially one chambered in the grand old cartridge herself, the .45 Colt. Since getting my hands on this firearm I’ve come to appreciate it more each day. So much so that I desired to make it my everyday carry piece. Single-action or not, if you can’t get the job done with this one then you need a 12 gauge shotgun at the bare minimum!

The problem was getting a holster that would allow for secure carry and still be ‘concealable’ under normal clothes. This last bit is made even more of an issue by the size and shape of the weapon and the fact that since I live on the Gulf Coast my clothing is thin and light the year around. In the nearly five years I’ve lived here I’ve had perhaps five days that I’ve worn long pants of any type.

Holsters I have, including a ‘Tombstone Speed Rig’ shoulder holster from El Paso Saddlery that I had to pull teeth to get, and a most excellent half-flap from Our Bandit Leather Crafters as seen in this post. Neither of these, nor the nylon holster they replaced, are exactly what I’d call ‘concealable’.

Fortunately for The Bull, while reading through the various forums on the web for us ‘gun nuts’, I had ran across the name Rob Leahy and his Alaskan enterprise, Simply Rugged Holsters. Every single word I found written about Rob pegged him as one really stand-up guy and his workmanship as first rate. So, after saving my pennies for a spell I fired off an email asking Rob to quote me a price on one of his ‘Sourdough Pancake’ holsters for my wee hog leg. The response from Alaska was quick, the cost was far better than reasonable, and after a couple more emails working out the color and details, payment was made and I sat back to wait out the thirty day turn-around. That kind of time frame wasn’t bad at all considering I had waited until darn-near hunting season to place my order! In the meantime I requested a few photos from Rob so I could see how things look in his workshop way up there in America’s Final Frontier for a future article on the craftsmen in the shooting sports. The emails began to arrive soon after, some containing nerve-tingling remarks concerning my order like:

Checked with my night shift production manager, Your holster is still on the side of a cow in a feedlot in Missouriâ€¦

Well, I suppose having a sense of humor helps make Life more worth living…

Turns out that the thirty day estimate was off a bit. My much-anticipated package arrived with a week to spare! I was literally shaking as I whipped out the old Case knife and gently sliced the tape open, eager to see what artistry the Leahy’s had wrought for me. One of my final request at the time of order – along with the cross-draw option – was to have leather with a range mark or two. You know, to add a little character…

I reached in and pulled out the first paper-wrapped item I felt. A handwritten note on the wrapping said “With scars, as requested“. I unwrapped it, and there it was – my Sourdough Pancake – complete with range marks. And a couple of quarter-sized holes in the backside!

For a second I just sat there in my chair, wrapper in one hand and the holster in the other. My son, Jake, said something along the lines of “Seems well made, and you did say you wanted scars…“. I stared at him. Then he said the magic words: “Looks like an awfully big box for that one holster, Dad.” Yes, it was a rather large box! I dove back inside and sure enough, another firm item was in there wrapped in the same white paper. This on had a note on it as well. It said, “Thought you’d like this better”. I tore off the wrapper and there was indeed a work of art! Joy of joys! Not just the ‘Sourdough Pancake’ holster I’d hoped for, but this one also sported Simply Rugged’s ‘Inside-Out Straps’ that would allow the holster to ride inside the waistband for even better concealment! Seems that Rob Leahy’s humor knows no bounds.

Now that the shock had worn off I settled in with my Ruger and both holsters to check out the workmanship, fit, and finish. Both the holed and scarred version and the clean top grade version show superior stitching and fine, even dye work. The fit on my New Vaquero was better than excellent. I even gave it a test by first unloading the weapon, placing it in the holster, turning the entire unit upside down, and then giving it a firm ‘bounce’ – over a thick cushion. I repeated the test in the second version. The revolver was retained both times! Given time on the belt I expected that fit to get even better.

There are no words to state just how happy I am with the leather Rob sent South to me. It is now mid-November and I’ve worn one or the other of these holsters every single day since they arrived on September 25. The vast majority of the wear has gone to the holster with the ‘Inside-Out straps simply because I am out and about town fairly often. To date not one person – not even the local constabulary – have noticed the big single-action .45 Colt riding comfortably under my shirt. Not even when it is just a tee shirt. That, Dear Readers, is concealment! (And for the record, The Bull does have and maintain an active pistol permit that allows for concealed carry.) I should note that the revolver is indeed held just a securely as I had thought it would be, even without any retention straps, and is still very accessible. The color, (a rich oxblood), is even and has never bled – not even on white clothing in the oppressive heat of Mobile, AL in late Summer. Note in the attached photos that outside of a few scratches on the black snaps there is no wear to the leather or finish what-so-ever. The holster places the stocks right where I need them for a quick draw either from the strong side or from cross-draw. I’ve only had need to draw once, on a Pit Bull making a charge on me in my own yard. The Ruger just seemed to materialize in my hand without thought. The dog, thinking better of her charge or having seen a gun before, left for home at warp speed and no shots were fired.

Rob is simply a genius. He has given us single action guys a means of carrying our preferred handguns comfortably, variably, securely, and with style. All for an extremely reasonable price. The Simply Rugged line is not limited to single action lovers, either! Rob can whip up a holster for you to fit anything from a small “snubby” all the way up to one of the huge ‘X-Frame’ monsters from Smith & Wesson. Also manufactured is a wide range of products from belts to ammo carriers along with several models of holsters other than the ‘Sourdough’ mentioned here. There is even a belt buckle The Bull finds very interesting.A quick check of the website this morning shows that they are now offering sharkskin as an option and may soon expand into other leathers as well.

If you are in the market for fine leather, do yourself a favor and contact Rob and the folks up at Simply Rugged. Do it soon. I can promise you that it will be the best money ever spent and the product will come from real American craftsmen building with real American Pride. Also, be sure to check back here often as The Bull will soon bring you a look inside the workings of the Alaskan workshop of Rob Leahy. You can contact Rob at:

Gettin’ Frosty!

A comment to another post caught my eye. So much so that I thought it deserves a post of it’s own. The comment was made by a Dear Reader named Lisa. She happily included in her comment a piece written by Frosty Wooldridge written in October titled:

WHAT IF 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS VACATED AMERICA?

Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column titled, â€œMexican visitorâ€™s lamentâ€??â€“ 10/25/07.

She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting Denver last week. Hernandez said,â€??They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothesâ€¦what happens to your countryâ€™s economy if 20 million people go away?â€?? Thatâ€™s a good question â€??? it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!

* In California, if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico, it would leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems, bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner, safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English became the dominate language again.
* In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and grand-kids â€??? would move back â€œhome,â€?? mostly to Mexico. That would save Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
* Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death, accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
* Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado. Denverâ€™s four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
* In Florida, 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to America, the rule of law and English.
* In Chicago, Illinois, 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools, prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.

If 20 million illegal aliens returned â€œhome,â€?? the US economy would return to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldnâ€™t be working off the books. That would result in an additional $401 billion in IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.

No more push â€˜1â€² for Spanish or â€˜2â€² for English. No more confusion in American schools that now must content with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and free breakfasts and lunches.

We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than $1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In cities like L.A., 20,000 members of the â€œ18th Street Gangâ€?? would vanish from our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No more foreign rapists and child molesters!

Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and gridlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by illegal aliens!

Over $80 billion annually wouldnâ€™t return to their home countries by cash transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further drains Americaâ€™s economy â€??? which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.

At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us $109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California, Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans wouldnâ€™t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our countryâ€???brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.

Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid locking our cities. It would also put the â€œprogressivesâ€?? on the horns of a dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our greenhouse gases.

Over one million of Mexicoâ€™s poorest citizens now live inside and along our border from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California in what the New York Times called, â€œcoloniasâ€?? or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases, drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York Times reported them to be Americaâ€™s new â€œThird Worldâ€?? inside our own country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20 million residents of those colonials. (Iâ€™ve seen them personally in Texas and Arizona; itâ€™s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico.

We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make a better life in Mexico. We invite a million people into our country legally more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing lawlessness at every level in our nation.

Itâ€™s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our way of life.

The Bull couldn’t have said it better himself! Many thanks to Lisa, and mega-kudos to Frosty!

Bull, out!

Attack of the Dildo!

There are more jokes out there about Alabama than I can count. Some are funny, but most are simply insulting. There is one joke out there that is actually true…

The State of Alabama outlawed “sex toys”.

Yes, in 1998 the sale of sex toys was banned in Alabama. (That date is correct. Not ‘1898′, but actually ‘1998′. Frightening, isn’t it?) Possessing the items remains legal as does the possession of condoms and virility drugs. The purchase of sex toys for “bona fide medical or other purposes” is also allowed, although you still have to go out of state to buy them. Frankly, The Bull would love to hear the explanation of a silicone penis’s “bona fide medical purpose”…

Lawsuits against this stupidity went all the way to the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. The lower courts had all thrown out the idiocy as un-Constitutional. However, the robed ~~felons~~ figures in Atlanta said in 2004 that there is no Constitutional right to sexual privacy. (My guess is that the Founding Fathers all considered that idea to be a ‘given’.) The ‘law’ still stands, though the Court did say, pretty much flat-out, that the law was “silly”. Another suit against the law made its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year, those clowns declined to hear the case.

Enter one Loretta Nall, former gubernatorial candidate and Internet blogger. Ms. Nall has organized a “Sex Toys for Troy King” drive, encouraging folks to send sex toys to Attorney General Troy King’s office in Montgomery, AL.

The Bull loves this idea! I’ve got no use for Ms. Nall’s drug policy, but on this point we’re eye-to-eye.

The Attorney General had this to say, (through a spokesman, of course): “We have 105 members of the House and 35 members of the Senate. I would suggest (Nall) buy 140 items and send them to the (members of the) Legislature.”

I love this idea as well!

On Tuesday Ms. Nall said that prosecuting store owners is both a violation of privacy and a waste of time. “It’s absolutely outrageous an attorney general would squander our tax dollars and barge into our bedrooms and tell us what we can and cannot do in Alabama,” she said. “We have real crime in Alabama.”

In Jefferson County a local judge declined to close a sex toys store in north Alabama’s town of Hoover, (I’ll leave this joke opening alone…), earlier this month, saying the law’s vagueness on what constitutes “adults-only enterprises” means the city can’t close the shop.

Brian Lyman, writing for the Mobile Press-Register, reports the following:

The attorney general has not made a decision on whether to push for the change to the language, Bence said. King will soon start meeting with law enforcement officials to determine his legislative agenda, and Bence said strengthening anti-obscenity language in the law will be on the agenda if a majority of police say they want it.

The initial 1998 lawsuit was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, two store owners and four women who said they needed the devices for medical purposes. Store owners have said they would invoke the law’s medical exception to continue selling the items. Nall, however, said it shouldn’t come to that.

“Maybe next time you’ll have to show a note from the doctor that you have to buy that,” she said. “I think it’s ridiculous to have to give a reason to purchase something like that if we’re over 18 years old.”

You have a fine point there, Ms. Nall! The Bull agrees completely, (even though I hate to be on the same side as the ACLU). With all of the real crime in this State, hell – in this Country, you would think that the State could find better uses for its limited resources than coming between adults and their harmless toys. If you agree and wish to join Free Americans in making a point, send the sex toy of your choice to Alabama’s Attorney General at:

Office of the Attorney General
Alabama State House
11 South Union Street, Third Floor
Montgomery, AL 36130

One final note:
According to Ms. Nall, the attorney general’s office should be receiving an inflatable pig via the mail by the end of this week.

Bull, out!

Arizona Pervert Being Protected by KNUV

From Fox News…

An Arizona Spanish-language radio station is blasting a local police department for what it says is racial profiling: describing the suspect in a series of child rapes as “Hispanic.”

Police are offering $25,000 for any information leading to an arrest in the case of the “Chandler Rapist,” who began assaulting victims in Chandler, Ariz., in June 2006.

The suspect is described as Hispanic, 28 to 40 years old, short with a muscular build, dark hair and hazel or brown eyes.

Phoenix news talk radio station, KNUV 1190 AM, has complained to the police department about the description, claiming that “Hispanic” refers to an ethnicity, not a race.

“Hispanic could be white, it could be black, it could be dark-skinned complexion,” said Mayra Nieves, vice president of programming. “We Hispanics see it that way.”

Doesn’t it just figure?

A guy is out there, known as the ‘Chandler Rapist’. He’s attacking children right and left. The police need help in catching this bit of scum, but rather than help, KNUV 1190 AM decides they’d rather protect the perverted bastard by refusing to post the monster’s description because it has the word ‘Hispanic’ included.

Well, The Bull doesn’t take to kindly to that and told the radio perverts, (and they are no better than the scum committing the rapes), so. Here’s my comment to KNUV 1190 AM. Go let them know how you feel by visiting their link.

I should have known…

It figures that you guys would be supporting a bit of scum on the streets raping children. I’m sure it doesn’t matter to you what race or nationality of kids that are raped just so long as you can get your “poor pitiful me” message across by refusing to help police.

With any luck your license to broadcast will be pulled!

Go get ‘em, y’all!

Bull, out!

Happy Birthday to My First-Born!

The Bull is both sad and happy today.

My first born daughter has a birthday today and is turning twenty-one years old. Where does time go, Dear Readers? Just yesterday it seems I held her in one hand, and today she is a student in one the best Nursing programs in the Country, (paying her own way), and planning her future out in the world.

Oh! I’m getting OLD!

Let me tell you a little about Clancy.
She’s a beautiful young woman. She was blessed with a singing voice few can equal, artistic abilities all envy, and has recently found a true talent for poetry. All of this along with an outstanding record as a student from her first day in Kindergarten up to this very day. Then there is a work ethic that keeps her working at a job that would have had The Bull ready to stomp a mud hole in someone and then charge out the door. She is there, on time, everyday – and often there on her scheduled days off as well.

Right when you think there are no more hours in her day, Clancy always makes time for her younger siblings and her friends and family. Seems that her talents are only surpassed by her heart. By the Gods, she is a daughter to make any father proud!

And I am very proud of my Eldest Daughter.

So proud in fact that I, The Bull, will give to my daughter the following poem, (since she has become such an accomplished and recognized poet), for her birthday…

Roses are Red,
Violets are blue,
One more year,
an’ you’ll be Twenty-Two!

Well, it appears that the poetry gene did not fall from my side of the Family…

At any rate, all my Love and many wishes for a Grand and Happy 21st Birthday to my beloved Daughter, Clancy.

Bull, out.

Fair Winds and a Following Sea to the USS Mobile Bay!

I’m in a Navy mood tonight so, The Bull wishes ‘Fair Winds and a Following Sea’ to the brave crew of the cruiser USS Mobile Bay, (CG-53)!

May the Gods smile upon the waters and speed you to Victory!

Many Thanks for a job well done.

Bull, out!

Is Our Navy Being Sunk By The Gov’t?

It seems, as I read the press releases, that our very own Government is sinking our beloved Navy – our first line of defense – right here at home in the shipyards.

Oh, it isn’t all the Government’s fault. The contractors won’t even attempt to keep cost down to a reasonable level, and the American public never lays down the law when it comes to graft in Congress or wasteful spending.

However, the major blame falls squarely on the Government and the idiots that we have running he show – in both political parties!

Let’s talk about the freshly killed Littoral Combat Ship Program, flight ‘0′. Over a billion, (yes, BILLION), dollars spent and what do we, the tax payers, have to show for it? We’ve got two hulls. One, (a mono-hull design), is named ‘Freedom’ and she has a steel hull with an aluminum superstructure. The second is a trimaran hull design named ‘Independence’ and is made entirely out of aluminum, from the keel up.

A fire damaging the ‘Freedom’ during outfitting of the vessel. The Freedom, which was about 80% completed, sustained significant damage. She’s damaged goods and has yet to be completely outfitted or assigned.

‘Independence’ is still not even that far along.

Meanwhile, the ‘Powers-That-Be’ in the Pentagon have tinkered and changed the plans so much and so often that the contractors are left scratching their heads and hitting buttons on the pricing calculators. As of 1 November 2007 ‘Stop Work’ orders are issued on LCS-3 and the planned LCS-4.

Well, we’ve got two. But two what?

The LCS program was flawed from the start. These ships will, if ever completed, be able to turn a fair speed and travel into extremely shallow water – but only to run and hide. They certainly will not be able to fight! Heck, the US Navy brass themselves say that the Littoral Combat Ships compare unfavorably to many similarly sized vessels of countries such as Sweden’s ultra-stealthy Visby Class, the new Franco-Italian FREMM Class, Israel’s Sa’ar 5 Eilat Class, or even Britain’s much older Type 23/Duke Class.

Quoting from the Defense Department Daily:

LCS ships will carry a very light armament set for a major naval vessel: one 57-mm Mk 110 naval gun system; RIM-116 SeaRAM short range defensive missiles; up to 4Ã—15-missile launchers for light short-range NETFIRES missiles, each with striking power equal to a 155mm shell; 30mm cannons that would replace NetFires launchers 1-for-1 if installed; 12.7mm machine guns; plus any missiles or 70mm rockets carried by its accompanying helicopters (up to 2 H-60 slots or up to 4 MQ-8B Fire Scout UAV slots). Present LCS designs don’t even carry torpedo tubes, or vertical-launch systems (VLS) that could accommodate present and future attack and/or defensive missiles.

Even the corvette-sized Danish Flyvefisken Class, whose swappable modules helped pave the way for the LCS idea, has a Mk 48 vertical launch system and can carry Harpoon anti-ship missiles and/or longer-range air defense missiles.

Frigates, huh? With no torpedos?

All that can really be said for these things is that they can deliver two SH-60 helicopters each rather quickly – provided they actually have the helicopters!

So, these ‘do nothing well’ ships are costing us around $450,000,000.00 each. Add $80,000,000.00 times three for each ship to cover the multi-mission modules, plus the cost of two choppers each. And they are only ‘good’ in shallow water and big river fights – supposedly.

What will that do to future surface Navy plans for upgraded destroyers, (DD (X)), and the much-needed cruisers, (CG (X))?

The hell if The Bull knows! Here is what Vice-Admiral Mustin (ret.) and Vice-Admiral Katz (ret.) said in a 2003 USNI Proceedings article:

“Because the Navy has invested heavily in land-attack capabilities such as the Advanced Gun System and land-attack missiles in DD (X), there is no requirement for [the Littoral Combat Ship] to have this capability. Similarly, LCS does not require an antiair capability beyond self-defense because DD (X) and CG (X) will provide area air defense. Thus, if either DD (X) or CG (X) does not occur in the numbers required and on time, the Navy will face two options: leave LCS as is, and accept the risk inherent in employment of this ship in a threat environment beyond what it can handle (which is what it did with the FFG-7); or “grow” LCS to give it the necessary capabilities that originally were intended to reside off board in DD (X) and CG (X). Neither option is acceptable.”

I don’t know about you, Dear Reader, but it sounds to me like we need some new minds in that funny-shaped building up there because they apparently have their collective heads too far up their collective asses to see the light any more.

Meanwhile the Chinese continue to build their navy and will soon eclipse ours. Then there goes the Pacific. Let’s not forget ol’ Putin over in Russia either! The Atlantic could again become contested waters at the drop of a hat.

Then where will we be? Think about it.

Bull, out.

SCUM: November 2007 Update

It is that time again. Time for The Bull to post an update of the scum bag sex offenders still breathing our air near â€˜The Pastureâ€™.

Right off I’d like to challenge my fellow bloggers to go to the Family Watchdog web site and find the listing of any or all offenders living in their neighborhoods and list those scum, complete with pictures, on their blogs. The more bloggers that are doing this, the more pressure we can put on these bastards. That makes every child that much safer. It takes only one post every couple of months to get the job done.

It was a good Summer. The Bull managed to personally verify all of the addresses of the scum in my last update plus some 80-odd other sex offenders living in nearby zip codes. I also have managed to start other Good Citizens to watching the monsters that live in their neighborhoods. Action has begun to escalate as we push my ‘Locate, Educate, and Move ‘Em Out’ Program in this area. As concerned and committed parents we are dedicated to moving these child-hunting scumbags out of our neighborhoods at least, (and out of the gene pool if possible).

NOTE: Our greatest achievement is that the number of registered sex offenders living within a twenty minute walk of the Pasture has been reduced from a high of thirteen (13) to today’s low of seven (7). There was eight, but one was recently nabbed in a police action here in Mobile, (see my post here). I wonder how that happened…
My neighborhood is just that much safer, and it shows what dedicated action on the part of Families can do!

Now, on with the update!

We have to start with Karen Ann Baldwin, DOB: 10/14/1963. Convicted of Sodomy 1st four (4) counts. This bitch committed this horrid act upon a six year old little girl. See? Monsters are sometimes ~~women~~ female. No real woman would do such a thing!

~*~

Next is Dustin Wayne James, DOB: 7/21/1985. This ‘thing’ was also convicted of Sodomy 1st – also four (4) counts! Further details were withheld on the ADPS website. As of this posting I’m still looking for the truth of his offenses. Alabama law defines sodomy to include “deviate sexual intercourse with another person by forcible compulsion“. No telling the horrors this bastard inflicted.

~*~

Thomas Earl Dickens - SCUM
First off is Thomas Earl Dickens, DOB: 08/29/1959. This scum was convicted of several counts of Sexual Abuse in the 1st Degree. Why the Registry withholds the details of some of these perverts is beyond me…

~*~

Then we have Francisco “Frank” Olguin Mejia, DOB: 07/28/1950. “Frank” here was convicted of many counts of Indecency with a Child & Sexual Abuse in the 1st Degree. (& should have been shot. Maybe in the future…)

~*~

Meet Dennis Glen Thomason, DOB: 07/08/1957. He’s another one caught with materials in violation of the Alabama Child Pornography Act. We must demand more severe punishment of this offense and demand punishment of those that make and distribute child porn as well.

~*~

We have here one Jeremy Gene Woodham, DOB: 02/10/1973. Mr. Woodham here sodomized a 3 yr. old baby girl! Instead of the death he deserved, he served time only for Sexual Abuse in the 1st Degree. Sick bastard. Death is too good for him!

~*~

James Howard Naylor - SCUM
Here is our only NEW addition. James Howard Naylor, DOB: 11/01/1967. This scummy piece of shyte, (that likes to think he’s tough), was convicted of multiple counts of Enticing a Child for Immoral Purposes. My guess is that he is yet another internet pedophile. Caught, thankfully, before he could act, he still needs to go away for life.

~*~

Friends, check those registries! Check them regularly and often. The Alabama Registry is found at this link. Then call your local Sheriff and make sure the info on the site is up-to-date. Another good idea is to scout the addresses and see if the people living at the address are indeed the people listed on the registry. If they are, and if they are in your neighborhood, don’t go and get yourself arrested for something stupid like attacking them. Print out the registry page with their photo on it, make many copies, and post them everywhere possible in the neighborhood. Every utility pole should be covered. Place signs along the road. Go door-to-door with handouts. Make sure everyone knows who they are and what they did.

Buy a gun and learn how to properly and safely use and store it. Ask your trainer about quality ammunition for protection. Here in Alabama, and an increasing number of states, we law abiding citizens have the right to protect ourselves, our children and our property by what ever means or force required. Use that law to your advantage! Tolerate no pedophile or other sex offender to survive entering your ‘castle’ with the intent to do harm!

Get a dog, too. Preferably a big dog that tends to “nanny” children. I recommend Great Danes (we have two), but Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, and Bouvier des Flandres will do quite nicely. Our Great Danes have proven themselves as absolutely remarkable child protection dogs. The Bull figures that all he’ll find of some pedophile meeting my dogs will be a few tatters of bloody clothing and rather large and greasy piles of dog crap in the back yard. Suits me right down to the ground! When not watching the kids the Danes simply sleep.

You put your kids in car seats and buckle them in, don’t you? If you would take the time to do that to protect your children from car accidents, would you not take the time to protect them from the predators walking our streets? The simple fact that there are so many of these creatures living among us proves that our Government – at every level – can not, or will not, protect us and our children. Police are useless until after the damage is done.

It is up to you – the parent. Are you ready?

Bull, out.

Thoughts on the ‘Dog’ from the ‘Bull’…

The Bull been following the news frenzy over comments made by Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman, (A&E’s ‘Bounty Hunter’), concerning his son’s troubled black girlfriend.

I have now listened to both the long and the short versions. I have to admit, the tapes bothered me on several levels. The first level was that I had to go to the National Enquirer’s web site to hear the tapes! Another problem I have is, indeed, Dog’s use of the ‘N’ word. Frankly, I don’t like the word. The only time my dear old Dad ever used his hand against me was for the use of that word when I was just a wee lad. With one swing of his massively muscled arm he rolled my miserable ass across the lawn – and rightfully so. It is a term that is offensive to me, and to Society on the whole. My children know that should ever that word fall from their lips in my presence that they can expect exactly the same treatment I got all those years ago. Despite my personal feelings we must come to terms with the facts surrounding the word ‘nigger’.

A sad fact is that it is a word that it is a term has been in our language so long now that to suddenly say that no one can use it anymore simply won’t work. Especially when the very people that raise such an uproar when it is used use it themselves, often as a term of endearment! The Bull lives about as far South as one can go, in Mobile, AL. I can not leave the house without hearing the ‘N’ word being used. From the white population? No, (and this troubles me most), it comes from the black population when speaking of other blacks. I’m sorry folks, but such double standards just don’t work! Either the word is off limits to everyone or it is fair game for everyone. Therefore I say to the black population of America: “Make up your minds! We can either all use it, or none of us can use it.” (…and to be clear, I’d rather it be ‘none of us’.)

Now, as for Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman the man. Duane is a man with many rough edges and stranger ideas than even The Bull on appropriate attire. Here is a guy brought up hard by a harder man who went ‘bad’ at a young age. He paid his debt to Society, turned his life around, and made his life into a great success as a bounty hunter. Some folks balk at the idea of bounty hunters, yet without them our judicial system would simply collapse under the weight of bond-jumpers. The police know this and while they may not necessarily always like the hunters they tolerate them. Chapman has also been honored by the State Legislature and Governor of Hawaii for his contributions in the War on Drugs. On the whole, Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman has taken the broken pieces of his Life and made a monument to the idea of Second Chances. That certainly doesn’t make him perfect, but to quote someone from America’s favorite Faith, “Let him who is without sin cast the first stone“. If you think you fit this category please contact The Bull. I’ve always wanted to meet a ‘perfect’ human. Yes, he said ‘nigger’ – several times. How many times have you said that word, Dear Reader? Be honest! Even if you have not said it public, how many times in life have you uttered it in private? How many times have you thought it? Do not for a moment consider this post an apology on the behalf of Dog. He was wrong in what he said! Yet, I ask you, was what he said – in a private conversation – worth the losses he and his entire family will suffer? The Bull thinks not!

Finally, concerning Dog’s son, Tucker. Simply put, the boy is a traitorous pig. A scumbag that sold out his own father, step-mother, and all of his siblings for cash. There are damned few things lower on the totem pole of Human Existence than someone like Tucker Chapman. From listening to the tapes it is obvious that Dog was dealing with a son who’s girlfriend of seven months was determined to cause as much discontent within the Chapman household as possible until and unless Tucker was brought into the business so he, (and she), could share in whatever fame and fortune was made by Dog’s celebrity. After threats made against Beth Chapman, (Dog’s wife), by said girlfriend, Tucker was told – in no uncertain terms – that she was not welcome in or around the rest of the Family and neither was Tucker as long as he kept this girl in his life. The Bull supports Dog in that decision! Should one of my children so upset my household or had a ‘friend’ threatened my wife, that child would have to face the same commandment from dear ol’ Dad. This ‘girlfriend’ knew very well, (according to Dog’s own words in the tape), the language used in the Chapman household and had threatened to wear a wire to catch the ‘N’ word being used. My guess is this was her plan all along: Get in on the cash or bring down Dog and his family. Sick. Tucker, you should be ashamed!

A&E has suspended production of ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’ series pending investigations. The Bull hopes that they will immediately restart production of what is apparently a hit show. To do otherwise over what is, in fact, an internal family squabble would be simply wrong. Let A&E know what you think by visiting this page and sending you comments. You will find the ‘Contact Us’ link at the bottom of the page. The Bull ask only one thing: Be fair minded in your thoughts and comments.

For now,
Bull, out.

How to Distract a Muslim

Fox said…

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia â€??? Malaysia’s Muslim men are suffering sleepless nights and cannot pray properly because their thoughts are distracted by a growing number of women who wear sexy clothes in public, a prominent cleric said.

And we can’t have the women distracting the Muslim men from their perverted thoughts of young boys, now can we?

Has anyone else noticed how much like Bill Clinton the Muslim males really are? The penetration of a female is sex, but the sodomizing of boys and oral sex is not really sex, and therefore tolerated. Oh, Islam makes a huge show of condemning homosexuality yet they practice it daily, (a fact, not an accusation). They also make big talk about pornography, yet the majority of websites visited by Muslim males are pornographic in nature.

Let’s quit waffling and speak the Truth about Islam. Until they began to police themselves they must be treated as “the enemy”. All of them, all of the time.
