The following is the transcript of an actual radio conversation in October 1995, between a US Navy ship off the coast of England, and the British authorities.
The transcript was released by the MoD on 10/10/95.
BRITS: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to avoid a collision.
BRITS: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.
AMERICANS: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.
BRITS: Negative. I say again. You will have to divert your course.
AMERICANS: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET. THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS ACCOMPANY US.
I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT'S 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.
BRITS: This is a lighthouse. Your call.

"There can be no satisfactory solution to the problem of inadequate income that does not recognize this fundamental t***h: higher incomes can come only with greater production and greater production requires an addition to the capital supply." - Carl Snyder - Capitalism and the Creator
“[I]n the 56 years since 1939, inflation has averaged 4.4% a year. Although that sounds small, even moderate inflation adds up over time. Actually, it doesn’t add up. It multiplies up. Inflation, like interest, compounds. Net result: Since 1939, prices have increased 998%.” - David R. Henderson, Fortune, March 18, 1996, p.35

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and b****s with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.” - John Ehrlichman, former Nixon Domestic Affairs Adviser
"Thus, America, above all countries, was born in an explicitly libertarian revolution, a revolution against empire; against taxation, trade monopoly, and regulation; and against militarism and executive power. The revolution resulted in governments unprecedented in restrictions placed on their power." - Murray Rothbard, For a New Liberty
"Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins— or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer." —Saul Alinsky, Rules For Radicals
"I was born free by Nature. Why should I accept the yoke of an involuntarily assigned “citizenship,” which sweats me at law in order to finance its murder? The Constitution of a State has no inherent authority unless as a contract between man and man, and obviously can be binding only upon those then living who acknowledged it" ~ Lysander Spooner, 1882
"The only time the Second Amendment becomes necessary is when they try to take it away." - Thomas Jefferson
"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ’inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes." - General Smedley Butler, USMC, 1933

They can put the entire English language on their pathetic 'no-no list' for all I care. If a word is applicable or proper for the use I put it to, I will use it, and no-one can lift a finger to make me do otherwise. If something I say is found to be offensive or improper by some self-appointed 'language n**i', that's just too bad. I really don't give a rat's ass anymore.

"[T]axing w***e A******ns to give money to b***k A******ns for r********ns over s***ery, sounds like a pretty great idea to him."
Gee, that's nice. If there are any white s***e owners to tax, I'd say 'go for it', as long as there are some freed s***es to receive 'r********ns'. I certainly do not, and did not, own any s***es. I wasn't a s***e either. Nor do I know anyone who either was a s***e owner or was personally a s***e. If there is anyone in this entire United States who is, or was, a s***e; or who owns, or did own, s***es, I have no knowledge of them. Since I have never owned a s***e (black or otherwise), and since I never was a s***e, I do not consider myself owing or being owed on that account; therefore I would politely decline to pay anyone r********ns for a crime I did not commit, and would return any payment remitted to me as erroneous.

Really? Is that the 'real' story here? I see something much deeper and far more assiduous than a comment about alleged 'child abuse'. Let's dig into this a little bit:
"From the beginning of mankind there have been only two sexes: male and female. No child should be used to push an unnatural social agenda."
I see nothing wrong with that statement and a lot of things right with it. It is historically accurate in that there have always been precisely two sexes, not 3 or 6 or 200. With the advancement of the biological sciences, the time may come when more 'sexes' may be brought into existence but (thankfully) not just yet. It is also perfectly reasonable and morally correct in the assertion that "[n]o child should be used to push an unnatural social agenda". This child has not even come close to puberty yet and he is being 'bent' to this abominable mental illness by an adult parent who panders to these childish fantasies. I don't see some cute child playing 'dress-up' with mommy's makeup. I see a child being exploited by the adults around him in a most surreptitious and hideous way to advance an agenda that is both unnatural and evil.
In light of this, let's take a new look at the original statement:
"Right-wing activists have branded the editor of National Geographic Magazine a child abuser – because the magazine ran a cover featuring a t*********r child."
If by 'right-wing activists', it refers to people of good moral character who get a little upset when they see something like that, then yes, why not call them 'right-wing activists'. If by branding the editor of National Geographic Magazine a child abuser, these 'right-wing activists' are calling a guy who lets children be 'used to push an unnatural social agenda' a child abuser then, yes, I'll happily buy into that. Count me in among them. 'Child-abuser' seems about right to me. And finally, we come to the biggest, falsest argument in the world today; the cover featuring a 't*********r child'.
TRIGGER ALERT! The following is not meant for the tender minds of those who have not yet fully matured. If you are easily offended by common sense reactions to ridiculous assertions, go no further!
Bulls**t.
That's right. Bulls**t. There is no such thing as a 't*********r' child. A child is either a boy or a girl. Some people need a doctor to tell them which is which and if that is the case, there is one simple way to make a quick determination: Take a look at their birth certificate. If the sex of the child listed on the birth certificate is suspected of being entered erroneously, just take a quick look 'down there'. Those generally considered to be boys have the plug, those generally considered girls have the socket. Really, it is exactly that simple. Once specific g****r is confirmed (male or female, there is no in between, as some would have you believe), abuse is easily and quickly identified in boys with pink hair, mainly because their hair is PINK. They were not born like that, and they have at least one parent (usually the mother) who freely encourages such things, giving the child the impression that it is normal for a boy to dye his hair pink. It is not, by any stretch, normal, and the poor child was born to a parent with serious mental delusions (illness?). Mommy wanted a girl and mommy is damn well going to have a girl, let the abuse begin.

A rookie police officer was out for his first ride in a cruiser with an experienced partner. A call came in telling them to disperse some people who were loitering.
The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd standing on a corner.
The rookie rolled down his window and said, "Let's get off the corner people."
A few glances, but no one moved, so he barked again, "Let's get off that corner... NOW!"
Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled stares in his direction.
Proud of his first official act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"
Pretty good," chuckled the vet, "especially since this is a bus stop."

Im not saying this is pure fact. However it might explain a lot of things aside from the already gargantuan costs the obamas have put on the tax payers.
Whoa. That's highly outrageous even for the Obamas. I'd be very interested in hearing them explain it if it is true. Imagine though; being given a very expensive, better than first class, all expenses paid, weeks long trip to a very exotic, exclusive location and being paid a pretty penny just to be there. How many people would jump on that one? Be a lot easier to count how many wouldn't.
