Perhaps one of the funniest things I’ve read in quite a while in Politics….

Posted on4 Comments

Now this is funny. Here’s an e-mail that Ben Smith received from a Republican Consultant working a Mid-western state focus group.

It’s a good thing I was not drinking anything, else I would have been asking Ben Smith for a replacement laptop.

Quote:

Reagan Dems and Independents. Call them blue-collar plus. Slightly more Target than Walmart.

Yes, the spot worked. Yes, they believed the charges against Obama. Yes, they actually think he’s too liberal, consorts with bad people and WON’T BE A GOOD PRESIDENT…but they STILL don’t give a f***. They said right out, “He won’t do anything better than McCain” but they’re STILL voting for Obama.

The two most unreal moments of my professional life of watching focus groups:

54 year-old white male, voted Kerry ’04, Bush ’00, Dole ’96, hunter, NASCAR fan…hard for Obama said: “I’m gonna hate him the minute I vote for him. He’s gonna be a bad president. But I won’t ever vote for another god-damn Republican. I want the government to take over all of Wall Street and bankers and the car companies and Wal-Mart run this county like we used to when Reagan was President.”

The next was a woman, late 50s, Democrat but strongly pro-life. Loved B. and H. Clinton, loved Bush in 2000. “Well, I don’t know much about this terrorist group Barack used to be in with that Weather guy but I’m sick of paying for health insurance at work and that’s why I’m supporting Barack.”

I felt like I was taking crazy pills.  I sat on the other side of the glass and realized…this really is the Apocalypse. The Seventh Seal is broken and its time for eight years of pure, delicious crazy..

Rolling on the floorLaughing *Snort* That’s just too funny. I’m sorry. I can’t help it. It’s too funny. Rolling on the floorLaughingHee hee

*wiping eyes* Oh man…. *cough* I guess the the only thing I can say is, Reap what you sow.

The Obligatory Obama is ahead in the polls and McCain’s attacks posting.

Posted on6 Comments

First off about the Polls. It’s obvious, the economy is literally driving McCain’s campaign into the ditch. The attack ads obviously did not help, but more than anything, it is the economy, the Republican Party is just on the bad side of things. There’s no way around that or no way of spinning it at all. When the economy tanks the American people look to the opposing party to bring change. Which is what happened in 1980 with Reagan and after the stock market crash and subsequent depression in 1929, with FDR. This time the Republican Party is the Political Party that is one on the wrong side of the situation.

While I might not agree with some of Obama’s positions, I think sometimes, that Obama might just bring some jobs back to this area. I know that I could benefit from that. Obviously, Bob Barr is not going to be elected, even I understand that. While I am not going to come out as a flag waving Obama-bot. I will be the first to concede that change is needed in America and at the moment, Obama represents that. I don’t think the change will come at the speed that many are believing, but it will come, sooner or later.

As for the McCain attack ads and how it is affecting him in the polls; the issue is not what the ads said, it was how they were framed and presented to the American people. The entire problem was that John McCain was saying “Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers, Bill Ayers” and Black America and some the more uneducated on the far right, that believe everything that crosses their mailbox were hearing “He’s a black terrorist! He’s a black terrorist! He’s a black terrorist!” Needless to say this has not helped John McCain’s campaign at all. Not only that, but the picking of Sarah Palin was, as far as this writer is concerned, a tragic mistake. I say this because what McCain was trying to do, was appeal to his base. The problem is, you cannot win an election by appealing just to your base. But rather appealing to the Independent Voters or what are called “The swing voters.” They decide the election in the end, not the base of either party.

Obama on the other hand has appealed to Democrats and Independents as well, and also Conservatives as well; Chris Buckley is a prime example. I mean, Chris Buckley?!?! The son of the infamous staunch Conservative icon, William F. Buckley? Obviously, something is wrong with McCain’s campaign for Buckley to give McCain the cold shoulder. John McCain’s own brother blasted McCain’s campaign for not handling him properly.

Obama on the other hand has handled a very steady campaign, at times, in this writers opinion, playing certain “Cards” to their advantage, as they did with Hillary; much to the same effect as McCain’s campaign. This is just called good politics and good campaigning, and most shockingly it has worked.

So, the bottom line is this; John McCain while he might be great person of courage and valor, his campaign has been the Republican equivalent of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. To beat someone like Obama, you must be good, damned good, and sorry to say, but McCain just is not that; Good.

Democratic Party Family Values at work!

Posted on

This is just too rich to pass up…

Via Fox News:

A married congressman who faces accusations that he had an affair with a former aide and paid her to keep quiet about it also was having an affair with a second woman around the same time, a person close to his campaign told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Details of the second affair came hours after Democratic U.S. Rep. Tim Mahoney held a news conference to address a story, first reported by ABC News, that he had been involved with the former aide. Mahoney acknowledged he had caused "embarrassment and heartache" to his family but denied doing anything illegal.

Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 while promising to return morals and family values to Washington in the aftermath of the resignation of former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Foley stepped down when it was revealed he sent lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Foley was later cleared of criminal wrongdoing by state and federal authorities.

Mahoney’s seat was already considered to be one of the more competitive House races, and he has been facing a tough challenge in a district that traditionally leans slightly Republican. He faces former Army officer Tom Rooney, a lawyer whose family owns the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Mahoney himself did not directly address the first purported tryst during a news conference earlier in the day, but instead issued a statement taking "full responsibility for my actions and the pain I have caused my wife Terry and my daughter Bailey."

"No marriage is perfect," Mahoney said, "but our private life is our private life."

The real kicker is this here:

Mahoney, 52, won his seat in 2006 while promising to return morals and family values to Washington in the aftermath of the resignation of former Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Foley. Foley stepped down when it was revealed he sent lurid Internet messages to male teenage pages who had worked on Capitol Hill. Foley was later cleared of criminal wrongdoing by state and federal authorities.

*snort* Those are some real nice family values there sir! Hee hee Two affairs? Wow! Surprise I mean, I can understand the one, but two? Oy. That’s just beyond stupid. Doh

Something tells me this guy is not going to be in office for very long at all.

But then again, that’s the Democrats for you. Tongue

Exit Question: One of Obama’s friends? Oh, right, that’s RAAAAACIST! Rolling Eyes

When stuff like this Supposedly happens, that there’s never any video to back it up?

The boisterous crowd, estimated at around 4,500, interrupted her speech several times with chants of, "Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!"

There were no incendiary outbursts from the crowd about Mr. Obama during Mrs. Palin’s speech, as there have been during other recent McCain-Palin rallies.

However, someone did shout out, "Kill him!" during Republican congressional candidate Chris Hackett’s remarks before Mrs. Palin took the stage.

The outburst came during a round of booing from the crowd after Mr. Hackett said Mr. Obama should come to Pennsylvania and learn what the state’s values are. – Via The Times Tribune 

I’ll believe that someone really said “Kill Him” when the video surfaces. Like I blogged about before, sometimes, the media lies about this sort of thing.

I’ll believe this, when the video of it happening surfaces.

About Chris Buckley’s endorsement

Posted on

Believe it or not. I totally understand why he endorsed Obama.

I while back here, I wrote that I felt that Obama would not bring anymore expansion to the Government, because it was already very large. It seems that Chris Buckley gets that and believe it or not, I believe that is a good thing.

Quoting Buckley:

My point, simply, is that William F. Buckley held to rigorous standards, and if those were met by members of the other side rather than by his own camp, he said as much. My father was also unpredictable, which tends to keep things fresh and lively and on-their-feet. He came out for legalization of drugs once he decided that the war on drugs was largely counterproductive. Hardly a conservative position. Finally, and hardly least, he was fun. God, he was fun. He liked to mix it up.

So, I have been effectively fatwahed (is that how you spell it?) by the conservative movement, and the magazine that my father founded must now distance itself from me. But then, conservatives have always had a bit of trouble with the concept of diversity. The GOP likes to say it’s a big-tent. Looks more like a yurt to me.

While I regret this development, I am not in mourning, for I no longer have any clear idea what, exactly, the modern conservative movement stands for. Eight years of “conservative” government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case.

So, to paraphrase a real conservative, Ronald Reagan: I haven’t left the Republican Party. It left me.

Thanks, anyway, for the memories, and here’s to happier days and with any luck, a bit less fresh hell.

The reason why I say that it is a good thing is because of this; it is becoming more and more obvious to more and more Conservatives, inside and outside of the realm of the G.O.P. that the Grand Old Party has a horrid image problem to Liberals and Conservatives alike. The party basically elected someone based upon pedigree, rather than based upon actual merits.

That person went on to allow his administration to trample on the Constitution, and do all of the things that Chris listed above, plus quite a few that he did not, or was not willing to mention. I would list them all, but this Blog entry would be 50 pages long.

So, while I might not agree on his actual assessment of Obama, simply because he is an advocate of the expansion of that big Government that Conservatives and Libertarians, like me, simply do not agree with, nor believe in. I do believe that someone, like Chris, finally speaking up and saying, “This Party is not the party of my Father”, is a rather awesome step in the right direction. That very feeling is the same feeling that caused David Nolan on December 11, 1971 to form what is now called the Libertarian Party.

It is my hope and yes, possibly even a prayer; that more people within the party will wake up from the stupor that is known as Bush’ism or more accurately Neo-Conservatism. This will be about the only way that the Republican Party can mop up the mess and move on to another era in Conservatism. They must, as collective whole organization; say, without any hesitation or discord, “Never Again.”

More Liberal Hypocrisy… Liberal Democrat Backer puts McCain in a KKK Suit, chasing Obama!

Posted on4 Comments

This right here was exactly what my original “Enough!” posting was about. The left’s use of race in this election, and man is it ever sickening.

This via the StarGazette.com:

Ron Havens has a reputation for provocative Halloween displays that reflect his strong political views.

But even Havens was pretty sure his latest effort was over the top. That didn’t stop him from setting it up in plain sight anyway.

Havens, who lives on Schuyler County Route 15 (Ridge Road) just south of Odessa, this week set up a Halloween display featuring mannequins that  look like Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and Republican rival John McCain.

But the Obama figure looks like he is running, and the McCain likeness is dressed in the hooded robe of the Ku Klux Klan and is carrying a baseball bat.

Havens is quick to point out he is a liberal and a big supporter of Obama, and that the scene is meant to provoke thought about the way he believes Obama has been unfairly treated by the McCain campaign.

"I figured it would be equally offensive to everyone. It’s just for shock value," Havens said. "McCain has been rabble-rousing, calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim. The McCain campaign has gotten so ugly. That’s what the message is. I can see how people could take this the wrong way. I’m not advocating anything. It’s sarcasm."

The display is in Havens’ front lawn, only a few yards from the highway.

Two years ago, Havens set up a display with a Wizard of Oz theme, with President Bush as the Scarecrow, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as Dorothy, Vice President Dick Cheney as the Tin Man and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld representing the Cowardly Lion.

During the 2004 presidential race between Bush and Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, Bush took on the persona of Dracula in Havens’ front lawn, while Kerry appeared as Frankenstein’s monster, complete with neck bolts.

Georgia Verdier, president of the Elmira-Corning Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said she was concerned about the injection of race into the presidential campaign when someone called her to complain about the scene.

After viewing a photograph of Havens’ display, Verdier said it seems innocuous enough, but she’s still concerned it may send the wrong message.

"It looks friendly but I am concerned not so much about this display, but in general about the fear and hate that have entered the campaign," Verdier said. "This display appears friendly to me. But that’s my take. A young lady passed by and had other feelings. We need to be concerned about that. I think we all need to be careful about what messages we send. The message we send is not always the message received."

Havens said he has no plans to take the display down at this time.

I find it so very ironic that the left can do something like this, and it just fine. But when someone like me, posts a ironic Blog entry that basically says, “Hey the left wants to paint us as racist, let’s give them what they want!”. I get threats and Liberals calling the Secret Service on me. How Ironic.

Like someone said who commented on my posting about the original posting that I made, I cannot wait till this damn election is finally over, because quite frankly, I am sick of the race war and the race baiting and imagery like this. Anyone that thinks that the RIGHT is stoking the flames of racism in this damn election, has got their fucking head up their collective ass.

The right is NOT stocking the racism in this election, it’s the damn left and they’re getting a fucking free pass and yes, I am pissed off about it and yes, I think it is a bunch of BULLSHIT! Angry

This is one of Obama’s supporters people, remember that.

So much for that “Kill Him!” Narrative!

Posted on6 Comments

It seems that the narrative about someone yelling out “Kill Him!” about Obama at a Palin rally.

Patterico as always is on the story:

Everyone in the country seems to think someone yelled “Kill him!” at a McCain/Palin rally, about Barack Obama. It’s just not true.

The “Kill him!” phrase was originally reported by the Washingon Post — and it was clearly yelled about William Ayers and not Barack Obama.

I quoted the relevant language in this post:

“And, according to the New York Times, he [referring to Ayers — P] was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, ‘launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,’” [Palin] continued.

“Boooo!” the crowd repeated.

“Kill him!” proposed one man in the audience.

That is unambiguously a call to kill Ayers, not Obama. As TNR writer Michael Crowley said in a comment to this post of his (h/t L.N. Smithee):

I took “kill him” to mean Ayers–not Obama. It’s just a far, far likelier explanation given the context. That’s still an ugly thing to shout–but on the other hand Ayers probably would have gotten the death penalty had his bombs actually taken a life. If I thought people were actually yelling that about Obama I would feel very differently.

Indeed. [UPDATE: Dana Milbank, who originally reported this, agreed. According to a Politico blog entry: “Milbank said that his impression was that the man meant Ayers, not Obama.” Thanks to “no one you know.”]

So, when the left claims that people are yelling at Palin rallies to kill Obama. You can safely know that it is nothing more than a well manufactured lie. A lie manufactured by a Media that is in the tank for Obama.

Surprising? No. Shocking, Not hardly. Thanks for the Karl Rove and his group of Neo-Conservative idiots, we are going have Liberalism shoved down our throats for the next 4 to 8 years. If we’re not destroyed by a terrorist attack before then.

I knew that Ohio was a battleground State…. But this?

Posted on

This rather humorous story comes via Ohio.com: (Hat Tip to Twitter)

Poll workers from opposing sides in the presidential race apparently clashed in a physical altercation Friday at a Cuyahoga Falls nursing home when one accused the other of improperly marking a ballot.

George Manos, the 75-year-old Republican, told police that Edith Walker, the 73-year-old Democrat, jumped on his back and struck him in the head three to four times with her fists. Manos said two other elections workers had to pull Walker off his back, according to a report filed with Cuyahoga Falls police.

Manos said it happened after he accused Walker of ballot tampering, and he wants to prosecute.

The incident, which occurred about noon at Gardens of Western Reserve nursing home, is being investigated by both the police and the Summit County elections board. The board probe could lead to a closer examination of the other votes with which Walker was involved.

The alleged assault piqued the interest of
Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign — as the voter in question reportedly wanted to vote for McCain but her ballot was initially marked for Sen. Barack Obama.

”This is a troubling report that emphasizes the importance of having a transparent and open process in every voting place in Ohio,” said Paul Lindsay, a spokesman for McCain’s campaign.

I guess this is what they mean by fighting for the vote in the election! Hee hee 

I guess this would be a good time to make a mental note to be sure and wear protective gear on November 4’th. Nah, who I am kidding? Obama’s got it lined up here. So, I don’t think I will have a problem. (I hope! Worried)

This can’t be good…

Stanley Kurtz over at National Review has up a pretty damning piece on Obama and his ties to Wright and extremist Afrocentrists.

The quote:

Given the precedent of his earlier responses on Ayers and Wright, Obama might be inclined to deny personal knowledge of the educational philosophy he was so generously funding. Such a denial would not be convincing. For one thing, we have evidence that in 1995, the same year Obama assumed control of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, he publicly rejected “the unrealistic politics of integrationist assimilation,” a stance that clearly resonates with both Wright and Carruthers. (See “No Liberation.”)

And as noted, Wright had invited Carruthers, Hilliard, and like-minded thinkers to address his Trinity congregants. Wright likes to tick off his connections to these prominent Afrocentrists in sermons, and Obama would surely have heard of them. Reading over SSAVC’s Annenberg proposals, Obama could hardly be ignorant of what they were about. And if by some chance Obama overlooked Hilliard’s or Carruthers’s names, SSAVC’s proposals are filled with references to “rites of passage” and “Ptahhotep,” dead giveaways for the anti-American and separatist ideological concoction favored by SSAVC.

We know that Obama did read the proposals. Annenberg documents show him commenting on proposal quality. And especially after 1995, when concerns over self-dealing and conflicts of interest forced the Ayers-headed “Collaborative” to distance itself from monetary issues, all funding decisions fell to Obama and the board. Significantly, there was dissent within the board. One business leader and experienced grant-smith characterized the quality of most Annenberg proposals as “awful.” (See “The Chicago Annenberg Challenge: The First Three Years,” p. 19.) Yet Obama and his very small and divided board kept the money flowing to ideologically extremist groups like the South Shore African Village Collaborative, instead of organizations focused on traditional educational achievement.

This is pretty disturbing for a man who wants to be President. I just do not buy Obama’s line of, “I didn’t hear Wright’s sermons”. This goes much farther and might give Obama more trouble.

Why in the hell does John McCain do stupid stuff like this? Rolling EyesSigh

Seen at the Jed Report:

I’m a Conservative Libertarian and I know this is not true. At worst, Obama’s supporters have boo’ed McCain. I’ve never seen or heard any of them call him a Traitor or a terrorist. That’s just simply wrong and McCain projecting. The bad part is, Dana Bash didn’t call him on it.

A sobering quote…

Posted on4 Comments

Electing Obama might be worse then we thought. Nailbiting

Quoting Steven Green at Vodkapundit:

If (when?) Obama is elected, by my estimation there’s an at least even chance that the newly-reconstructed FCC will reverse course and attempt to apply the New Fairness Doctrine to blogs.

[…]

Libertarians/Conservatives like “Jay” and myself underestimate liberals/progressives — and what we’re guilty of is projection. But when we’re drunk and honest, we have to admit: We’re effing pikers. To restate more plainly: We don’t want power, and don’t know how to wield it. We’re pikers.

Progressives have no such qualms. Given power, they’ll take more and they’ll exercise it ruthlessly. Look at the Democrats in Congress these last two years. In not even 24 months, they’ve sunk to depths it took the Republican Congress six or more years to sink to. Their unpopularity levels are even worse than the Republicans’ in 2006. And what will happen in November? The Democrats will win seats — because they know how to wield their power to deliver the goods to please their corrupt, greedy, grabby, needy base.

And don’t you forget it. And I can prove it.

Run my pet theory past your favorite progressive. If they’re less than honest, they’ll deny it. If they’re honest, they’ll answer you with a smug little smirk — smuggier and smirkier even than my best smug smirk — so smug and so smirky that it will make you want to punch them with a cinder block.

Try it. I dare you. And once you’ve seen the results, you’ll understand: When it comes to real power, we’re the pikers and they’re the masters…

…and their time is coming.

Prepare to fight.

P.S. For my hipster Libertarian friends out there, you need to get this through your thick skulls. Republicans, given the kind of power the Democrats are about to accrue, would maybe take away your right to get a completely totally naked chick to grind on your lap in a publicly licensed bar. The Democrats will do their damnedest to take away your right to speak. There’s the First Amendment, and then there’s the First Amendment. Be careful what you wish for.

This is quite scary on many levels. Because if Obama gets elected, the thought police, which is in effect to an extent now, will really be in effect, if Obama gets elected.

….and at this point, it is looking like John McCain does not have a prayer, according to the polls.

A Political Byline Special Presentation: Crawford

Posted on

My friend Ryan sent me this. Normally I do not post things that other people send to me. But in light of recent events that landed in the crosshairs of the left and landed me on Gawker.com. I am publishing this Movie to show those, who might want to kill me or at worse call me names, that I am not some sort of Bush loving, flag waving freak, who thinks anyone that disagrees with me is inherently evil.

This movie is about the town that President George W. Bush basically used as a prop for his Presidential Campaign. You will see a town, that got swept up into the fury of support for George W. Bush and a town flourish because of it. You’ll see a town that became ground zero for an Anti-War and Pro-War movement that almost drove it apart. Finally, you will see a town, that lives in almost ruin, and is possibly divided, all because of the political ambitions and a warped political ideology of President, who is now leaving that town and moving somewhere else.

This movie shows something, something interesting, something frightening, something that only affirms my beliefs that I could never, ever, be a Republican. It shows us that people that fail to think for themselves and allow themselves to be blinded by a flawed Political Ideology are truly shallow and quite frankly, scary people. Further more, it shows how those who mix their Religious beliefs and their Politics are very dangerous people.

Have said all that, I present to you…… Crawford

McCain’s latest under the Bus….. Bill Kristol?!?!?!

Posted on

Now this is quite the shock! Surprise

Bill Kristol offers McCain some advice for his campaign:

It’s time for John McCain to fire his campaign.

He has nothing to lose. His campaign is totally overmatched by Obama’s. The Obama team is well organized, flush with resources, and the candidate and the campaign are in sync. The McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional. Its combination of strategic incoherence and operational incompetence has become toxic. If the race continues over the next three weeks to be a conventional one, McCain is doomed.

He may be anyway. Bush is unpopular. The media is hostile. The financial meltdown has made things tougher. Maybe the situation is hopeless — and if it is, then nothing McCain or his campaign does matters.

But I’m not convinced by such claims of inevitability. McCain isn’t Bush. The media isn’t all-powerful. And the economic crisis still presents an opportunity to show leadership.

The 2008 campaign is now about something very big — both our future prosperity and our national security. Yet the McCain campaign has become smaller.

What McCain needs to do is junk the whole thing and start over. Shut down the rapid responses, end the frantic e-mails, bench the spinning surrogates, stop putting up new TV and Internet ads every minute. In fact, pull all the ads — they’re doing no good anyway. Use that money for televised town halls and half-hour addresses in prime time.

And let McCain go back to what he’s been good at in the past — running as a cheerful, open and accessible candidate. Palin should follow suit. The two of them are attractive and competent politicians. They’re happy warriors and good campaigners. Set them free.

….and McCain promptly tosses Bill Kristol under the bus:

Well, you know Bill is entitled to his perspective. And I used to work for Bill. And I can tell you personally sometimes he’s brilliant and sometimes he’s not. And this is one where it’s the latter category. You know, I think unfortunately he has bought into the Obama campaign’s party line.

The Video:

Must.not.make.wisecrack.about.blonde.bimbo. Must.resist!

Someone, please! Stop the spinning or I’m going to puke! SickHypnotizedSilly

Seriously, If John McCain keeps this up, he is not going to have a base, for long. You just cannot cross your base like this, for very long and win an election.

Then again, he is like, what? 10 points behind? So, perhaps at this point, maybe he doesn’t care.

About the picture that I created.

Posted on3 Comments

For it is worth. Not that it matters at this point.

The images used to create the picture that I made are all available on the internet. I simply googled “Noose” on google images and took a picture of Obama and joined the two using Irfanview, and added the Words “The fucking solution”.

I made that photo a while ago, because of the race baiting on the left that was happening a while back.  I never intended to post it to the Blog, ever. But I did because I wanted to mock the baiting of the left that was happening, after reading Michelle Malkin’s posting.

Update: Well….Well…Well…. Look what we have here… This comes via WJNO’s News Junkie Blog:

offensivepalin

Now are all you angry Liberals going to send death threats to this person too? (The person that posted it on Reddit, not the Radio Station.)

Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberalism.

Update 2: Seeing there are some of you Liberals, who still don’t seem to get it. Here is another example, that proves the point I was trying to make. Please, CLICK HERE and take a look. Again, you look at that and you tell me which is worse and who is stoking the race hatred in this race. Are you going to send this man death threats too? I doubt it.

Update 3: …and for what it’s worth at this point, not one person from the secret service, government, or anyone has showed up here at all. I did pull it, after all. But the main reason is, because if they arrest me, they’re going to have to arrest all the people that do stuff like this here. So, please stop with the hateful comments, I delete them all anyhow. The fact is, that the left is just as guilty of same thing that I attempted to do, albeit in a untasteful manner. So, please, spare me with your lectures, I know, I should not have went where I did.

Posted on

Oh Lovely. Rolling Eyes 

First they enable Al “I must save the planet!” Gore. Now they enable Mr. “9/11 was our own fault” Paul Krugman. Seems those Nobel people will give those awards to just anyone anymore.

Via the NYT’s Economix:

Paul Krugman, a professor at Princeton University and an Op-Ed columnist for The New York Times, was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science on Monday.

“It’s been an extremely weird day, but weird in a positive way,” Mr. Krugman said in an interview on his way to a meeting for the Group of Thirty, an international body from the public and private sectors that discusses international economics.

Mr. Krugman received the award for his work on international trade and economic geography. In particular, the prize committee lauded his work for “having shown the effects of economies of scale on trade patterns and on the location of economic activity.” He has developed models that explain observed patterns of trade between countries, as well as what goods are produced where and why. Traditional trade theory assumes that countries are different and will exchange different kinds of goods with each other; Mr. Krugman’s theories have explained why worldwide trade is dominated by a few countries that are similar to each other, and why some countries might import the same kinds of goods that it exports.

Yeah, so, he’s a good economist. Big deal. I’m sure there are some good Conservative Economists out there. But you do not see Nobel lining up and give them awards, do you? No.

As far as I am concerned the Nobel people are just enabling the Marxist Liberal doctrines being taught by the man in his column every week.

For those upset that I am not approving their comments. I suggest you read my comment policy page.

I just do not approve comments that are insulting to me. I do read them, but I am not giving a place for people to insult me. Sorry, this is my blog and I do control the content here.

I also have been known to post the IP addresses of those who continue to troll here and then block them from commenting.

That is all..

From the Dept of “Oh, The Irony of it all!” – Bailout Managers may be buying own troubled securities

Posted on

Now this is real cute here!

This via the AP:

The government’s plan to make sure private managers of a $700 billion bailout plan are free of conflicts of interest is weak, according to some critics, and allows too much room for abuse.

The Treasury Department is in the process of hiring financial experts to run the giant, taxpayer-financed fund, created by the legislation that President Bush signed on Oct. 3.

The law allows the department to offer contracts that are not governed by federal procurement regulations, but requires it to draw up conflict-of-interest guidelines.

Interim guidelines released last week require applicants to disclose “any actual or potential conflicts of interest” that may come into play. Applicants must submit a plan to show how they will “avoid, mitigate or neutralize” such conflicts.

While Treasury employees will oversee the plan, there does not appear to be anything in the rules that requires the government to make sure the applicants are being truthful.

“It basically says that these companies are responsible for disclosing their own conflicts of interest,” said Laura Peterson, a senior policy analyst for Taxpayers for Common Sense, a private watchdog group. “And they are then responsible for coming up with a plan to fix them. Nowhere in there does it say Treasury will also be doing due diligence.”

Treasury can waive the conflict-of-interest provision.

I highly suggest that you read the rest of that article. Because if this reads like I think it does. The Government is going to allow the very people that caused this whole Wall Street mess to buy these troubled mortgages back and basically make a profit off of them.

Irony, thy name is Washington D.C.

If you came looking for the “Enough!” posting

Posted on43 Comments

Well, it is gone. I’ll tell you why. The point of the posting was being lost and the post itself and graphic was becoming the story. Which I never wanted to happen.

The point is, I made the far left have a knee jerk reaction. I also gave them something to talk about.

Again, as I stated in the actual posting itself, I never, ever wished any harm come to Obama, at all. I was simply making a point and doing exactly what the left is doing to Sarah Palin.

That is all, nothing more to see, move along…

Update: Well….Well…Well…. Look what we have here… This comes via WJNO’s News Junkie Blog:

offensivepalin

Now are all you angry Liberals going to send death threats to this person too? (The person that posted it on Reddit, not the Radio Station.)

Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberalism.

Update 2: Seeing there are some of you Liberals, who still don’t seem to get it. Here is another example, that proves the point I was trying to make. Please, CLICK HERE and take a look. Again, you look at that and you tell me which is worse and who is stoking the race hatred in this race. Are you going to send this man death threats too? I doubt it.

Update 3: …and for what it’s worth at this point, not one person from the secret service, government, or anyone has showed up here at all. I did pull it, after all. But the main reason is, because if they arrest me, they’re going to have to arrest all the people that do stuff like this here. So, please stop with the hateful comments, I delete them all anyhow. The fact is, that the left is just as guilty of same thing that I attempted to do, albeit in a untasteful manner. So, please, spare me with your lectures, I know, I should not have went where I did. But you liberals have done the same stuff.

New RNC Ad – “Guilt by participation”

Posted on3 Comments

Finally the RNC gets it right…

via the Politico:

I have to say that this one was much better done, without all the “Obama’s a terrorist” stupidity. It simply points out that Obama put his career before the country. Which I believe is true.

Of course, you can expect the right to really flip out about this one. As well, you can expect some of fringe right to misunderstand this to mean the Obama is a Muslim terrorist.

But wouldn’t be about a bitch if this here is true and the media covered it up?
