And why aren't westerners allowed to take religious articles, like bibles, into the middle eastern muslim nations? And our women soldiers must keep their heads covered in the streets?
If our bibles were burned at a mosque, would we be as outraged? Or would we remember our Constitution - the freedom to worship or not?
All I know is that we aren't radical.
WYOO in Panama City Beach, Fl had an interview on Burnie's show this a.m. with a local Muslim physician. It may be posted later, or even tomorrow.

OBAMA SWIMS IN THE GULF - OR MAYBE NOT...
http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/obama-swims-in-gulf-%E2%80%94-or-maybe-not/comment-page-1/#comment-11413
I am proud of Panama City Beach. Only the fawning politicians, begging for tourism income, turned out. The route wasn't lined with flags or supporters. We had one patriot standing out there with his "Don't Tread on Me" flag. He was disappointed. I say he shouldn't be. We felt the whole thing a giant irritation. We should have been wearing black armbands in honor of the death of our country at his hands.
They didn't eat local seafood. Chicken nuggets, fish tacos, guacamole and a burger was on the lunch menu. Maybe they were afraid?
Shouldn't they have gone to Pensacola or points west on the coast?
We are tired of the Obama's. We here were seriously underwhelmed at the visit.

OBAMA FAMILY TO VISIT PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL
http://www.alternet.org/rss/breaking_news/262254/obama_family_taking__solidarity_vacation_to_gulf_coast/
Yet another vacation. Pure bullshit pudding.
I hope it rains. It has rained every day for what seems like months.
What an inconvenience to our people here - except the ones prostituting themselves over business opportunities, and orgasms of joy when they get a photo. Big deal. They aren't saving our economy - and they should be taking the circus to Louisiana and Mississippi where help is really needed.
I am underwhelmed.
Taxpayers are going to pay for the extra local security.

COPS KILL 87 YO WOMAN AFTER WEILDING PELLET GUN
http://blogs.alternet.org/speakeasy/2010/07/13/87-year-old-woman-killed-by-police-after-weilding-pellet-gun/
Tragically, this is becoming more and more common.
Fire your police departments and your sheriff.
There are two articles from the Panama City News Herald on Sheriff McKeithen today - two deputies slammed a young man carrying a sign and a flag to protest Michele Obama - he's in jail for resisting arrest without violence. First Amendment GONE!
Apparently the paper is pursuing the story further. She was not on the beach, and he was alone.
http://www.newsherald.com/articles/bay-85319-set-arrive.html
And McKeithen has hired correctional officers and deputies with tarnished pasts. That story appears in the PCNH as well, today.

COREXIT IS KILLING THE GULF OF MEXICO
http://www.infowars.com/corexit-is-killing-the-gulf-2/
In a post yesterday, I gave you the information on Dispersit, but this safer dispersant won't be used because BP has interests in NALCO. There is profiteering going on here and the Gulf and its people are the helpless pawns, as the oil moves into Bay County, FL, and no one wants to hear the truth.

Matt James, 17, dies in Panama City Beach, FL on Spring Break
http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20100403/SPT030101/304030009/Police+investigating+death+of+Notre+Dame+recruit+Matt+James
He is the second to die in a balcony fall this year, caused by drinking.
Matt had a wonderful future ahead of him.
In another entry here, I asked parents and children primed for Spring Break in Panama City and elsewhere, to be very careful.
My heart goes out to the parents of these children who come here for fun, and end up hurt or dead.
This is the price to pay for sending unchaperoned children who think they can handle alcohol and drugs and violence on spring break.
Bottom line - they are still children. And they can't.
I hope that Bay County, Florida will promote this area as a family resort. True, the stores that sell alcohol may suffer, but so what?
Our beaches are beautiful. We have loads of empty rooms and condos. We have excellent restaurants and are multifaceted - you have the beach, and you have the creek system with kayaks and canoes aplenty.

BEWARE SPRING BREAK AT PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL
http://www.newsherald.com/news/spring-81956-break-substation.html
Spring break here means only a few things:
That law enforcement is waiting to entrap your children, parents, you and your friends because it means they make a lot of money and so do the bailbondsmen and attorneys.
You will know or hear of someone taking a fatal or nearly fatal dive off a balcony. It might even be you. If you survive, your life will be forever changed.
You will have unprotected sex with quite possibly, more than one partner you don't know and those you do.
You will probably arrive home with an STD.
You will give someone an STD.
You will be blind drunk most of the time.
You will take chances with strangers.
You will be given alcohol by an older breaker.
You will be hungover and throw up...a lot.
You will wake up with strangers and not know where you are.
You will do things that will shame your family and you when the truth comes out.
You will be charged exorbitant prices for cheap vacation souvenirs.
You will probably be arrested.
You will be exposed to drugs of all kinds.
You will relieve yourselves on public streets because you are too drunk to care.
You will be enticed by falling beer prices.
You will trash a hotel room(s).
You may become an alcoholic or a drug addict on this trip.
You will not remember all of your trip.
You will risk rape or worse. There's always that chance.
Panama City and Panama City Beach will take a lot of your money.
If you are smart, you will stay away.
I cannot believe that Panama City and Panama City Beach encourage the orgy that is spring break. They do it to line the coffers of the city, the police and legal professionals. You are meat with money.
As a resident, I would like to see the return of families for spring break. I hate that you are being exploited by being persuaded by your peers and our TDC to come here.

NSA Panama City, FL tests readiness for a breach
http://www.newsherald.com/news/base-81377-scenario-worst.html
Read this article. The Naval Support Activity Panama City tested its response to an emergency hostage situation, during the Joint Forces Response Drill.
The training drill included the coordination of Bay County Sheriff;s Office, the US Coast Guard, .
Did anyone ever throw into this effort the brick labeled POSSE COMMITATUS?

Spring Break is nearly over..
And most of us survived it once again.
Spring Break is all about money. Your kids, credit cards in hand, are being exploited by tourist development councils all over the country. But I don't know about other towns. I just know about Panama City Beach, FL. That is the place I don't usually visit because of distance, but certainly NEVER during Spring Break. It's only about a 20 mile drive over a bridge.
Your children this year were among the craziest of drivers, driving US Highway 231, the road most of them from the southeast and northeast use. Driving this normally treacherous road, they zigged and zagged with youthful abandon, and watching them weave was heart stopping. We cringed to watch them hoping they would not harm us. Two vehicles following closely nearly sideswiped me as I was entering a left turn lane at a light. No sheriff or FHP in sight. I wasn't supposed to die that day is all I can say.
The Tourist Development Council spent millions of dollars on advertising via internet, newspapers, school newspapers, and stations like MTV (who was here this year), luring your children to come here to grow up fast in an alcoholic haze. As long as they spend their (your) dollars here within the county, it's all fine and dandy.
While here, your sons and daughters will begin drinking upon opening their eyes in the morning, because if your little angels are underage, there is sure to be an older upper classman enabling and providing for them. They will drive while drunk. They will get pregnant and may not even know who they were with because they were unconscious from alcohol or drugs. Experimentation is part of the fun. They will end up in hospitals because they were drunk, drugged or both and climb on balconies and hotel roofs and take nosedives to the cement below. If they are fortunate, they will escape with serious injuries. While driving drunk, they will hit pedestrians and kill or injure them. They will be so shitfaced drunk they will defecate, urinate and vomit wherever they must. This year over a thousand trashcans were used because the amount of trash was so tremendous and the numbers had to be increased.
They will trash hotel and motel rooms. They will get into drunken brawls. They will get STDs from unprotected sex. They will end up in jail for drunk and disorderly and add your money to the tills of law enforcement and the legal system.
They will have accidents in their vehicles or someone else's. I hope you are spared their death.
They will have accidents because they were in a party mood and not paying attention and that will kill others. Several lives were lost this year because of hit/runs.
Your virtuous sons and daughters will come home deflowered in more than one way. And maybe they will come home drug addicts. Spring Break is about experimentation. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Sound familiar? It's just more intense now.
I hope this one post goes viral. I pray that you have the wisdom and the strength to say "no" to your children when they desperately want to join their friends on Spring Break anywhere in the world.
They are out of control, on purpose. It's not just sowing wild oats, which they will do anyway - but the concept of young people being persuaded to come to these spring break oases, is just about the money they will spend. No one here gives a hoot for your kid's safety. Certainly not
the people in charge of publicity.
We have condos and motel/hotel rooms staying empty because of the economy. The condos were overbuilt; the hospitality industry needs bodies to fill rooms. Your credit cards in the hands of your young adult children binge drinking cases and kegs of beer for a week or two mean the world to "us". If your children were hedgehogs with credit cards, they would be just as important to us too.
Panama City Beach has beautiful beaches, which you cannot see for the condos and hotel complexes. True - our water is beautiful and warm (well, maybe not this year), and the sand is fine, white and soft. But do you think your children would be interested in coming to Spring Break if this happened to be a dry county? A dry city?
Get real.
I wish the TDC would begin advertising heavily for families. Panama City Beach and surrounding areas are deep south. By that I mean that we haven't gone Miami, though there are some here who would drive us to that transformation.
We used to be called the Redneck Riviera. PCB is a short drive for the tri-staters to enjoy the sun and the Gulf of Mexico. The mom and pop motels have disappeared and replaced by condos which replaced the sand dunes; a crime against nature which makes it dangerous during hurricanes because the protection of the dunes is gone. You can barely see the water between the canyon walls of condos. That being said, there is plenty of opportunity to bring the family together here, to enjoy the sun, the Gulf and touristy things to do.
But don't let your kids loose in unfamiliar territory. They are a danger to themselves and to us.
They have lost their inhibitions. They are NOT going to behave like ladies or gentlemen. They are going to an orgy of thousands and they want to get to their destination as fast as possible so they can join it.
As a parent of a man who participated locally in spring break because of a part-time job, I can tell you that it's dangerous here for your kids. If you must send them off to spring break, why don't you take a vacation, too and come with them, or at the very least, keep the car keys. Maybe you can be the designated driver! Or maybe you could insist that they earn their own money for the trip. It's so expensive, they may not be able to save that much.
They'll hate you.
I'd rather have my kids hate me for a long time than to come here to the orgy on the beach.
