A Word on the Myanmar disaster, and why I pulled my entry on it….

Posted on

Folks, I’m just going to be honest with you. I should have never posted that. When I first read of the cyclone in Myanmar, I believe the death toll was at 500. It wasn’t until news came of the enormous death toll, and when I happened to see the pictures and video from the region, that I decided to just pull it.

Why? I’ll tell you why, While I am a person of great political convictions and person of obtuse personal opinion, I am also a Christian and I am a person of compassion, and the last thing I want to be, as to be pegged as some sort of heartless tool.

So, to those who read this Blog and think that I am some sort of an a-hole. Please know that I am not that sort of a person. Never was, and never will be.

Let me state publicly, while I am not a big fan of our money going to places that do not support our American values, in the case, a natural disaster, it is justified.

My thoughts and Prayers are with people in Myanmar this morning.

Off to bed…

Good night for now…

Newt Gingrich to G.O.P. Change direction or get your butt handed to you in November

Posted on

(via and H/T to Hotair.com)

Seen at Newt Gingrich’s Site:

The Republican loss in the special election for
Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District last Saturday should be a
sharp wake up call for Republicans: Either Congressional Republicans
are going to chart a bold course of real change or they are going to
suffer decisive losses this November.

The facts are clear and compelling.

Saturday’s
loss was in a district that President Bush carried by 19 percentage
points in 2004 and that the Republicans have held since 1975.

This
defeat follows on the loss of Speaker Hastert’s seat in Illinois. That
seat had been held by a Republican for 76 years with the single
exception of the 1974 Watergate election when the Democrats held it for
one term. That same seat had been carried by President Bush 55-44% in
2004. –Read the Rest

Will they listen? Doubtful. The G.O.P. seems to have a mind of it’s own. The Nation is swinging Liberal, thanks to the Idiot Neo-Con’s who fooled the village idiot in the White House to pursue a Neo-Con agenda and to take the Nation into a unnecessary war, and now the World and most of America, hates conservatives and Republicans.

They will pay for that costly mistake for 4 or 8 years.

Bush’s Neo-Con Empire begins to crumble…

The WSJ Reports:

Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided the Office of Special
Counsel here, seizing computers and documents belonging to the agency
chief Scott Bloch and staff.

More than a dozen FBI agents served grand jury subpoenas shortly
after 10 a.m., shutting down the agency’s computer network and
searching its offices, as well as Mr. Bloch’s home. Employees said the
searches appeared focused on alleged obstruction of justice by Mr.
Bloch during the course of an 2006 inquiry into his conduct in office.

The independent agency, created by Congress in the wake of the
Watergate scandal, is charged with protecting federal employees and
deciding whether their complaints merit full-scale investigation — a
first line of defense against fraud and mismanagement in government. It
also enforces a ban on U.S. employees engaging in partisan political
activity.

It was all just a matter of time. There’s a ton of Opinion on this one. I believe that this is just the beginning. Wait till a liberal takes the White House and the indictments start coming down. It will be an interesting thing to watch….and Blog about..

Even though I am a Conservative Minded Libertarian/Constitutionalist, I still cannot stand this current Presidential Administration or the Republican Party as a whole, and yes, that includes Faux Noise. So, having said that, here’s the "Worst Person in the World" from last night…:

Bronze: The Idiot host at Fox and Friends and His Kid, (Steve What’s his name….)

Silver: William Kristol for being the Neo-Conservative idiot that he is… (simply put….)

Michelle Obama Responsible for the Rev. Wright Scandal?

Posted on

Someone thinks so…..

Is Michelle Obama responsible for the Jeremiah Wright fiasco? – By Christopher Hitchens – Slate Magazine

What can it be that has kept Obama in Wright’s pews, and at Wright’s mercy, for so long and at such a heavy cost to his aspirations? Even if he pulls off a mathematical nomination victory, he has completely lost the first, fine, careless rapture of a post-racial and post-resentment political movement and mired us again in all the old rubbish that predates Dr. King. What a sad thing to behold. And how come? I think we can exclude any covert sympathy on Obama’s part for Wright’s views or style—he has proved time and again that he is not like that, and even his own little nods to “Minister” Farrakhan can probably be excused as a silly form of Chicago South Side political etiquette. All right, then, how is it that the loathsome Wright married him, baptized his children, and received donations from him? Could it possibly have anything, I wonder, to do with Mrs. Obama?

This obvious question is now becoming inescapable, and there is an inexcusable unwillingness among reporters to be the one to ask it. (One can picture Obama looking pained and sensitive and saying, “Keep my wife out of it,” or words to that effect, as Clinton tried to do in 1992 when Jerry Brown and Ralph Nader quite correctly inquired about his spouse’s influence.) If there is a reason why the potential nominee has been keeping what he himself now admits to be very bad company—and if the rest of his character seems to make this improbable—then either he is hiding something and/or it is legitimate to ask him about his partner.

I direct your attention to Mrs. Obama’s 1985 thesis at Princeton University. Its title (rather limited in scope, given the author and the campus) is “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community.” To describe it as hard to read would be a mistake; the thesis cannot be “read” at all, in the strict sense of the verb. This is because it wasn’t written in any known language. Anyway, at quite an early stage in the text, Michelle Obama announces that she’s much influenced by the definition of black “separationism” offered by Stokely Carmichael and Charles Hamilton in their 1967 screed Black Power: The Politics of Liberation in America. I remember poor Stokely Carmichael quite well. After a hideous series of political and personal fiascos, he fled to Africa, renamed himself Kwame Toure after two of West Africa’s most repellently failed dictators, and then came briefly back to the United States before electing to die in exile. I last saw him as the warm-up speaker for Louis Farrakhan in Madison Square Garden in 1985, on the evening when Farrakhan made himself famous by warning Jews, “You can’t say ‘Never Again’ to God, because when he puts you in the ovens, you’re there forever.” I have the distinct feeling that the Obama campaign can’t go on much longer without an answer to the question: “Are we getting two for one?” And don’t be giving me any grief about asking this. Black Americans used to think that the Clinton twosome was their best friend, too. This time we should find out before it’s too late to ask.

Wow….. All I can say is…. Wow… Looks like she’s the Liberation Theology person and poor Barack just went for the ride. Nice choice in wife, Barry, Marry a Marxist, smooth move, and he wants to be President?

If this takes off, you can bet this will hurt his campaign…

Local News: Freman Hendrix calls for Detroit’s mayor to resign…

Add another one to the list….

WWJ Newsradio 950 – Exclusive: Hendrix Calls for Kilpatrick Resignation, Considers Mayoral Run

Former Detroit mayoral candidate Freman Hendrix is calling on Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to resign.

In a one-on-one interview with WWJ’s citybeat reporter Vickie Thomas Sunday night, Hendrix said it was time for Kilpatrick to step down and let the city more forward. “This scandal has been looming for…going on four months, five months, and you guys have been calling me for months trying to get a comment from me and I do not want to appear as some political vulture perched on a tree hoping for this guy’s demise.”

“At some point you really have to put the welfare of the city, of the taxpayers, of the people who live here first, and I think if he’s honest about doing that, I don’t think there’s any other conclusion he can come to than to step aside,” Hendrix added.

He spoke at his third annual Friends, Family, and Volunteers dinner, which included hundreds of attendees, including former Deputy Police Chief Gary Brown, who won part of the controversial $8.4 million whistleblower lawsuit that is tied to the ongoing mayoral text message scandal. “As you can see from this event, Detroiters are just starving for some leadership, leadership that’s honest, with integrity,” Brown said.

Hendrix also said he is considering another run for mayor, but stopped just short of making an official announcement, saying “Tonight, I’m not prepared to make that statement because it’s just not time yet.” He lost a close contest to Kilpatrick in 2005, following three years in the private sector. Before that, Hendrix served as Chief of Staff and Deputy Mayor under Mayor Dennis Archer.

His website still lists events from his 2005 campaign.

Yeah, Like that will happen… Don’t hold your breath, you might turn blue and die. Detroit’s Mayor won’t resign, unless he’s convicted and sentenced to prison.

So Much for that idea….

So much for that….

Iran: No talks until U.S. stops Iraq attacks – (Via CNN.com)

An Iranian official says the government wants the United States to stop its “savage attacks” in Iraq before its envoys hold more talks with U.S. and Iraqi officials, Iran’s Fars News Agency reported.

A U.S. soldier secures the site where a bomb targeted a motorcade carrying Iraq’s first lady in Baghdad on Sunday.

“Under the current circumstances and given the U.S. widespread attacks against Iraqi people in different cities, Iran does not feel these negotiations are necessary,” an unnamed official told Fars.

The official — described as a senior member of Iran’s negotiating team — delivered the remarks as U.S. and Iraqi troops have been fighting Shiite militants in Baghdad and in Basra. The Bush administration says many of these fighters have backing from Iranian agents.

Iran and the United States held three meetings in Baghdad last year to discuss improving security in Iraq. Two meetings were at the ambassadorial level and one was at the expert level. Iraqi officials hosted the meetings.

So much for the Democrat’s idea of trying to talk to terrorists. See there? You can’t talk to savages! Idiot democrats, wanna play footsie with terrorists. Nuke ’em all, I say!

Jaun McSame has his own interesting friends….

Interesting….Indeed…

McCain finds his own radical friend — (via chicagotribune.com)

Can a presidential candidate justify a long and friendly relationship with someone who, back in the 1970s, extolled violence and committed crimes in the name of a radical ideology—and who has never shown remorse or admitted error? When the candidate in question is Barack Obama, John McCain says no. But when the candidate in question is John McCain, he’s not so sure.

Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: “I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people.”

What McCain didn’t mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers—in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.

But wait there’s more….

Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an
old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud
of your family,” he gushed. “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on
your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and
adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation
great.”

Which principles would those be? The ones that told
Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National
Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made
him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn’t disrupt the
1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan
the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?

Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American
history—and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said
he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as
“a prisoner of war.”

All this may sound like ancient history.
But it’s from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a
member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy’s penchant for extreme
solutions has not abated.

In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas,
he gave some advice to his listeners: “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms,
resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing
bulletproof vests. . . . Kill the sons of bitches.”

He later
backed off, saying he meant merely that people should defend themselves
if federal agents came with guns blazing. But his amended guidance was
not exactly conciliatory: Liddy also said he should have recommended
shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn’t enough to
inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets “Bill” and
“Hillary” when he practiced shooting.

Charming fellow, I’m sure. Wow, and here I thought some of friends, that I hung around with were a little strange.

The Republican spin and denial on this ought to be quite interesting…

Update: heh… just as a suspected, Surber Spins it…:

Question: What’s the latest pathetic attempt by a liberal to try to rationalize Obama’s ties to whack jobs?

Answer: Steve Chapman of the Chicago Tribune tried to equate G. Gordon Libby with Bill Ayers. Two problems: 1. Liddy did time in prison. 2. Libby did not blow anyone up. But other than the doing the time for the crime and not killing anyone, two peas in a pod. Oh for the days when Mike Royko zinged Chicago’s pols.

Yeah, but it still makes the guy a nut. Plus, no one was convicted of blowing anyone up. Nice try though.

Here it is….:

After 2 faint, Clinton cracks joke about making ’em swoon (via AP)

Former President Bill Clinton is cracking wise about his ability to make people faint, telling voters in North Carolina he didn’t think he still had it in him.

Clinton was campaigning Sunday for his wife’s presidential bid on a hot and sunny day in western North Carolina. The state’s primary is Tuesday.

After one person fell during an event in Lenoir, Clinton joked: “Somebody faints at nearly every one of these things now. At my age, I didn’t think I could make anybody faint anymore.”

A young girl walked away from an earlier event in Marion after fainting. Emergency workers brought the elderly man in Lenoir water and ice and used campaign signs to fan him. The man was alert as emergency workers took him away on a stretcher.

Ah Yes, Billy Jeff, Stay classy man… stay classy…

Hillary’s knowledge of Guns… Ha! What knowledge?!?!?

Posted on

Now this here, is funny.

The Story: Clinton mailing’s gun gaffe- From Ben Smith’s Blog Via Politico.com

Sen. Hillary Clinton’s mailing attacking Sen. Barack Obama’s record on guns appears to include a striking visual gaffe: The image of the gun pictured on the face of the mailing is reversed, making it a nonexistent left-handed model of the Mauser 66 rifle.

To make matters worse, a prominent gun dealer said, it’s an expensive German gun with customized features that make it clearly European.

“The gun in the photo does not exist,” said Val Forgett III, president of Navy Arms in Martinsburg, W.Va. Forgett’s company was Mauser’s agent in the United States when the gun was released, and it sold Mauser guns here again in the 1990s. “The bolt is facing to the left side of the receiver, making it a left-handed bolt action rifle, indicating whoever constructed and approved the mailer did not recognize the image has been reversed.”

Forgett said the error would be obvious to sportsmen.

“I find it laughable on its face,” he said. “It’s like a picture of Babe Ruth hitting right-handed.”

D’oh! Poor Hillary… Just trying to work that Right Winger crowds. Good luck with that!

Hillary to go Nuke on Obama? Not Likely.

This should be quite interesting….

Via HufPo: Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option To Overtake Delegate Lead

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has a secret weapon to build its delegate count, but her top strategists say privately that any attempt to deploy it would require a sharp (and by no means inevitable) shift in the political climate within Democratic circles by the end of this month.

With at least 50 percent of the Democratic Party’s 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee committed to Clinton, her backers could — when the committee meets at the end of this month — try to ram through a decision to seat the disputed 210-member Florida and 156-member Michigan delegations. Such a decision would give Clinton an estimated 55 or more delegates than Obama, according to Clinton campaign operatives. The Obama campaign has declined to give an estimate.

Okay here’s why I very highly doubt that this will happen. Because if Clinton does this, it will create such a hostile environment with the Democrat Party. Plus, I highly doubt that Clinton has the clout within the party any longer to do such a thing.

So, while it’s a nice Idea, I highly doubt that it will work.

Hillary Clinton doesn’t listen to the Economists…

Posted on

Via Robert Reich’s Blog:

When asked this morning by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos if she could name a single economist who backs her call for a gas tax holiday this summer, HRC said "I’m not going to put my lot in with economists.”

I know several of the economists who have been advising Senator Clinton, so I phoned them right after I heard this. I reached two of them. One hadn’t heard her remark and said he couldn’t believe she’d say it. The other had heard it and shrugged it off as “politics as usual.”

That’s the problem: Politics as usual.

first_lady_hilary_clinton_wincing_i Of course, that is Hillary’s problem, she represents the Democrat establishment. You know, the establishment, that authorized a Military style raid on a religious compound in Waco, Texas on February 28, 1993, which ended in the fiery deaths of 76 people, including 21 children and two pregnant women on April 13 of that same year.   

It simply amazes me, how the media has developed the total amnesia to the fact that Hillary’s husband was the one, who signed off of that massive slaughter of humanity.

Of course people say, "How can you say anything about that? she’s not Bill Clinton!". As far as I am concerned, Birds of a feather, flock together.

 

billary She’s just as evil, and just as liberal and quite frankly, just as stupid.

 

The quicker she is eliminated from this race, and the quicker that this race for the White House continues, the better. This Nation has had to suffer the tragic legacy of Bush/Clinton/Bush, don’t you think that it is about time for a change of path, instead of the same old politics?

Here’s a video the sums it all up:

I could not have put it better myself.
