A startling and sobering reminder

It comes from a Magazine’s Blog that I keep in my RSS feeds.

I keep Chronicles Magazine’s Blog in iGoogle, because I like to read traditional Conservative writings. These writings are a welcome alternative to the Neo-Conservative blather that comes from some of the more popular Conservative blogs out there. Although, I will be the first to admit, many Conservative Blogs now are really getting back to their true Conservative roots, now that Obama is in the White House. Some of the blogs, admittedly attack Obama just for the sake of attacking a Democrat, some however, like Lew Rockwell and others like him, attack Obama for legit reasons.

Having said all the above, here’s an entry by Clyde N. Wilson, which makes a very valid and quite sobering point; which only reinforces my feeling that big Government is just not good Government.

Clyde Writes in an entry titled, “It can’t be repeated too often”:

Ruby Ridge.  Your President George H.W. Bush sent a foreign assassin to murder (from hiding) an American woman standing in the door of her own home holding her baby.

Waco.  Your President Clinton sent a military expedition to incinerate children who were unfortunate enough to be in company of adults who had offended the federal police apparatus.

9/11.  Your federal government, with a $30 billion intelligence budget, could not prevent a bunch of  unarmed felaheen (who should not even have been in the country to begin with) from killing over 3,000 people in our economic capital and destroying part of the military headquarters of our vaunted global empire.

Iraq.  Your President Bush Minor lied to justify a failed war of agression.  He sent the forces into an unnecessary war with inadequate equipment, despite a multibillion-dollar “defense” budget, and without a viable plan.

Many American citizens, probably in the thousands, have been murdered and otherwise victimised by illegal aliens because of your presidents’ deliberate decision not to enforce the laws, in order to put the interests of foreign politicians and domestic rich people over the welfare of citizens.

The Supreme Court and the federal bench for more than a half-century now have been dominated by evil people, unscrupulous petty tyrants, who have subverted the Constitution and laws, protected criminals from punishment, interfered in countless matters that are none of their business, overturned solemn decisions of the majority, and placed unjust burdens upon the people.

Nobody has ever been reprimanded (as far as I know), much less fired or punished for the above.

Not only is Clyde right on about this; there are two points can be taken away from the quote above.  That truth is this:

  1. We never really punish our political leaders, some would say because the President is merely a puppet, being controlled by the bank cartels.
  2. Big centralized Government has never been, nor will it ever be, a good thing; it is bound to make screw ups, some small, and some, as presented above, quite large.

The Economist on Coulters sliding book sales

The Economist writes about Ann Coulter’s sinking book sales:

It’s a cultural sea change! Well, alright—it’s a steep decline in the fortunes of one conservative pundit, and one of the reasons for it may be the proliferation of other, angrier, or more specific conservative pundits such as Bernard Goldberg (media-bashing), Michael Savage (xenophobia), and John Ziegler (worship of Sarah Palin). A decade ago, Ms Coulter was the family doctor who made house calls. Now the kids are grown up and they need to see specialists for their needs.

via Colder and Coulter | Democracy in America | Economist.com.

I think also it’s just the plain fact that Coulter’s shtick has worn thin. I mean, getting on TV and dressing like a two dollar whore; all the while promoting Conservative ideas, has just worn thin with many people. Except for maybe her hardcore fans, which, every time she creates another stir, become less and less.

Do not misunderstand me here, Coulter is a pretty woman and quite smart. She would so much prettier, if she covered up and actually used that Cornell Degree brain of hers, for something besides a hat rack and hair holder.

Americans are beginning to see the light on Obama

This could be a good sign….:

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama’s high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that the opposite is most likely true. The American people are coming to express increasingly significant doubts about his initiatives, and most likely support a different agenda and different policies from those that the Obama administration has advanced.

Polling data show that Mr. Obama’s approval rating is dropping and is below where George W. Bush was in an analogous period in 2001. Rasmussen Reports data shows that Mr. Obama’s net presidential approval rating — which is calculated by subtracting the number who strongly disapprove from the number who strongly approve — is just six, his lowest rating to date.

[Obama’s Poll Numbers Are Falling to Earth] M.E. Cohen

Overall, Rasmussen Reports shows a 56%-43% approval, with a third strongly disapproving of the president’s performance. This is a substantial degree of polarization so early in the administration. Mr. Obama has lost virtually all of his Republican support and a good part of his Independent support, and the trend is decidedly negative.

A detailed examination of presidential popularity after 50 days on the job similarly demonstrates a substantial drop in presidential approval relative to other elected presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries. The reason for this decline most likely has to do with doubts about the administration’s policies and their impact on peoples’ lives.

I predict that this is only going to get worse, as Americans see that the “Magic Moonbat” is not the Savior of the world, like everyone seems to believe that he is.

Things are finally beginning to look up. 😀

An Interesting Movie

I post this because I believe that it is interesting. Alex Jones has always struck me as a kook. Someone amongst the “Tin Foil Hat” crowd. However, it is something interesting to watch.

Enjoy…

What do you think? Do you think that there is any truth to this?

RedState Update on “Who Leads The Republican Party?”

I still think these guys are quite funny.

The reaction to Steele and McCain is funny. Sometimes, humor can be cruelHee hee

But they didn’t mention Sanford. Who’s really taking the heat for his comments about the Stimulus Package. I hate to say it, he was right, I also liked his response to Clyburn’s stupidity.

Content Warning: They say the MF’er word twice

On Britney’s Video

I noticed over on HotAir that AllahPundit is tweaking Britney’s New Video for the song, “If U seek Amy”. Which goes a long way to try and make a rather silly play on words to supposedly convey a message.

First up, the said video:

AllahPundit didn’t get this, neither did the people at MTV either; even the Liberal LA Times did not get it! Man, wow.. does a basement dweller like me have to explain to these brain-dead idiots what the video was doing? Good Grief.

Okay, here’s the official Political Byline explanation to the Video. The two bookended clips at the beginning should have given it away. If you move the video to the 2:10 mark. Mute the sound. Watch her come out of the house with the pie in hand. What is the first thing that comes to your mind. Wholesome? Traditional? Family Values? Fox News? Conservative? Republican? Hello?!?!

The video was nothing more, than a tweaking the nose of the Conservative Media which had this silly head exploding reaction to the songs meaning. Especially those over at Fox News, of whom berated her over the song. Which I sort of thought was quite hypocritical, because of the “B roll” Footage of half naked women that Bill O’ Just loves to roll when he gets a scandal involving sex or women.

The Fox News Clip in question:

For the record, I am not much of a Britney Spears fan or anything. Hell, I am 36 years old ya’ll. Brit-Brit’s music is a little out of my age range. Hee hee

Which leads me to my second point. None of this sort of stuff is new, rock (or in Brit’s case, Pop) musicians have been pushing the envelope for years. Take for example, Black Sabbath; especially during the Ozzy era, back in the 1970’s, lyrics some those songs really got many a Fundamentalist Christian’s heart to racing.

Some examples:

Lyrics:

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

What is this that stands before me?
Figure in black which points at me
Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I’m the chosen one
Oh nooo!

Big black shape with eyes of fire
Telling people their desire
Satan’s sitting there, he’s smiling
Watches those flames get higher and higher
Oh no, no, please God help me!

Is it the end, my friend?
Satan’s coming ’round the bend
People running ’cause they’re scared
The people better go and beware!
No, no, please, no!

Lyrics:

N.I.B. (Which By the way, stood for Nativity In Black, but was shortened due to negative feedback from the Record label!)

By Black Sabbath

Oh yeah!

Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me, my love, and I’ll show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me ’till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I’m going to feel
I’m going to feel
I’m going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me ’till the end of time
Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way I’m going to feel
I’m going to feel
I’m going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is Lucifer, please take my hand

So, the way I see, as an older guy. This is nothing new, at all. I mean, there are some grown men running around that have families, that used to listen to this music above, some own businesses too. So, that whole argument that Brit-Brit is going to cause the social decline in this country is, quite frankly, silly. Truth is, it has been on the decline for years, and I highly doubt this song is going to speed it up or slow it down any. Neither is Fox News.

Although, I must confess the “Ho Ho Hee Hee Ha Ha” in the song was quite funny. Hee hee

Steele-Gate further explored

I have been reading the blog entries on the new Michael Steele Meme, that is now burning up the internet.

This issue has been the very reason, that I have flatly refused to join the Republican Party. Michael Steele was essentially mouthing the Libertarian position on abortion. Which is a woman has the right to do with her body, what she pleases. Which is what I feel. For the record, I believe abortion is murder; however, I find it quite ironic that those who preach and fight for limited Government, insist that the Government control of what a woman does with her body. The Religious Argument is that, ultimately; God is the creator of all Babies/Humans/Life. Which is fine, that argument works within the confines of a Church or Religious setting.  The problem is, that argument does NOT work outside of this setting and those who defend this mindset are borderline fascists, who want to force THEIR belief system down the throats of those who are not necessarily in agreement that there is even a God, at all.

Again, Abortion is a MORAL issue, it should never, ever, ever be a legislative issue. America was settled and founded as a Republic, not as a Theocracy; as what many of these “Pro-Lifers” want American to be.  That Republic paid a homage to the “God”, albeit a rather lame homage, but still it was there. It was never intended to signal that America was a Theocracy, ever.

Abortion, I feel, should have never been legalized in the first place; however, it was. We do not live in a utopain society, laws passed by the SCOTUS are a reflection of Society in General; and we must, as Americans respect those laws, least we fall into the trap of becoming an intolerant or Nazi state.

This issue is a perfect, clear cut, example of why Politics and Religion or Religious views should never, ever be mixed.

FBI Raids Obama’s Chief Technology Officer

Oh this is nice…. Christmas comes early for the Republicans?

Via The Politico:

Federal agents this morning are searching the office Washington, D.C.’s Chief Technology Officer.

The search of the office at 1 Judiciary Square is part of “an ongoing investigation,” said a spokeswoman for the FBI’s D.C. Field Office, Lindsay Gotwin, said.

She said two men, Yusuf Acar and Sushil Bansal, had been arrested.

Acar is an information security officer who was also, according to online requests for proposals, responsible for contracting. Bansal is listed on the city’s procurement website as the CEO of the Advanced Integrated Technologies Corporation, which was awarded two technology contracts last year worth a total of $350,000.

The Washington Post and WTOP Radio report that the men are being held on bribery charges.

The outgoing Chief Technology Officer, Vivek Kundra, was appointed last week Chief Information Officer by the Obama administration. His last day at the city government office was March 4, a spokeswoman for D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty, Leslie Kershaw, said. He was appointed to the Washington post in 2007, and held it when Bansal’s contract was awarded.

“We know the FBI is over there but that’s all we know,” said a staffer in the D.C. CTO’s office, Mario Field, who was working from a separate location. Another source familiar with the raid said the FBI had sent all staffers other than senior executives home for the day. WTOP reported that agents are searching the 9th and 10th floors of the building.

A White House spokesman had no immediate comment.

More of that Chicago style politics coming to Washington D.C. 🙄

The American people got what they paid for; Well, I should say what the Arab countries paid for. Ever see Obama’s FEC records from the 2008 election? It is stunning.  Not to mention that fact that Obama’s campaign did not have any sort of verification in place to make sure names matched the credit card numbers.  Hell, for all we know Al-Qaeda elected our President!

Bristol Palin Continued

You know, I have to laugh at these Neo-Conservative Apologists over at NRO’s “The Corner”, who want to gloss over the moral failing of the daughter of the worst Vice-President pick that the Republican Party ever made.

Some lady named Lisa Schiffren over there writes:

For all of the high-minded discussion of marriage policy on these pages and elsewhere, to me it looks very late. That train left a while ago. Even Corner readers, who will discuss choosing life vs. abortion, with endless passion, do not get so worked up about marriage. Which is why all I have to say is, “poor girl.”

Uh, Lisa? How about saying something along the lines of this; So much for those so-called moral values that Bristol’s Mom supposedly promotes, not to mention that entire party. How ironic that the Republican Party, the party that almost breaks it’s back to promote morality, almost to the point of attempting to legislate it; picks a woman, who’s daughter cannot even keep herself until marriage!

Does anyone else, besides me, see the irony here? 😮

Quote of the Day

Frum‘s attack on Limbaugh should surprise no one at NR. Frum has a long history of seeking to advance himself by smearing others, from his 1991 American Spectator cover story attacking Pat Buchanan as an antisemite to his 2003 National Review cover story denouncing Buchanan, Tom Fleming, and Sam Francis as “unpatriotic” for opposing a war that turned out to be as disastrous for America as they predicted it would be. If National Review is sincerely repentent over having provided journalistic cover to Frum for years, it might, in the spirit of Lent, announce that it regrets publishing Frum’s 2003 attack and apologize to the “unpatriotic conservatives.” But I’m not holding my breath.


You Potty Mouth!

swearing I know, I’ve really been screwing that up as of late. Instead of trying to find a G-Rated alternative; I have been letting it fly here as of late. My apologies, to you the reader, and to those who come in via the Pro-Life aggregator and over at Freedom’s Phoenix. Good grief. 🙄 Those poor people must think I’m border line Psycho or something. SillyHypnotized One minute ripping on David Wilkerson for being a kooky Pentecostal and the next minute swearing like a sailorLoserDoh

I say all this, because I’m just looking at the blog, the “Evangelical Alliance” ad network link, and then I see my Wilkerson post and then my f-bomb laden posts. Oy. Not a good way to represent my faith. Worried I sorry. Worried

I just know some Christian came through here and wanted to advertise and clicked the link to my Blog and saw the swearing and went “Eeeeeek!” Surprise and closed the window and passed on advertising here, I just know it. I can’t say that I blame them, this is supposed to be a Conservative Blog, and it is, politically; socially, I like to look at it is more of an libertarian-minded blog. I will be the first to concede that I am not active in Church at the moment. I am, sorry to say, still smarting from the big time screwing over that I got at the hands of a rather dishonest, and hypocritical pastor. (A Baptist Pastor, no less!) That screwing over happened in 2006, you’d think that I would have gotten over it by now. I have; sort of. I no longer have the desire to go over to the Church and bash his brains in with a baseball bat. But I am not about to go over there and act like nothing happened. I might be a Christian, but I am not a gullible idiot! Not talking

Anyhow, I will try and watch my mouth, I have to remember there are people actually reading this stupid Blog now and I am not writing letters to myself anymore. I sometimes forget that. Of course, if anyone had complained, I would have most likely told them to go *BLEEP!* themselves. WhistlingHee heeDay dreaming

From the “Who gives two shits?!?!?” stack: Bristol Palin breaks it off with Levi Johnston

Oh Brother, If I want traffic, I have to report this stuff, here goes……

Via People.com:

Bristol Palin and her fiancé Levi Johnston have broken up, two sources tell PEOPLE.

The split happened "a few weeks ago," according to a source close to the couple, but it’s unclear what precipitated it. "It was a mutual thing," adds the source.

Bristol, the 18-year-old daughter of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, spoke with FOX News in February and told Greta Van Susteren that she and Levi – who are parents to 2-month-old son, Tripp – expected to get married after they completed high school.

"It kind of just happened," says the source, referring to the split. "I thought they would stick it out. But I think they can work together to raise Tripp."

"I’m not sure what caused [them to break up] – it’s common knowledge," says another source who knows the family.

Despite the breakup, Levi still sees the couple’s son. Levi’s dad, Keith Johnston, told PEOPLE recently that his son is a devoted and "proud father."

Normally, I wouldn’t give two shits about stuff like this, but this right here bothered me:

Mercede told Star: "Bristol’s just crazy. That’s the nicest way I can put it. She and Levi actually broke up a while ago!"

Apparently, Levi is also far from being a hands-on dad. Said Mercede: "Levi tries to visit Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible for him. She tells him he can’t take the baby to our house because she doesn’t want him around ‘white trash.’ She treats him so badly!"

Hmmmph, Bristol did not think that when she had her fucking legs in the air and was letting Levi ream her 17 year old vagina out.

Typical rich white bitch… Frustrated Turns out Levi was nothing more than a fucking sperm donor. So, much for family values. This will be good fodder for anyone who wants to run against Sarah Palin, if she runs in 2012, which at this point, would be extremely stupid.

…and to think, we almost put that Alaskan freak show in the White House. Whew

The Obligatory Bat Shit Crazy Seymour Hersh posting

Mr. Seymour “Bat Shit Crazy” Hersh is back at it again, this time pandering to the Alex Jones tin foil hat crowd:

Investigative reporter Seymour Hersh dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he told an audience at the University of Minnesota that the military was running an "executive assassination ring" throughout the Bush years which reported directly to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The remark came out seemingly inadvertently when Hersh was asked by the moderator of a public discussion of "America’s Constitutional Crisis" whether abuses of executive power, like those which occurred under Richard Nixon, continue to this day.

Hersh replied, "After 9/11, I haven’t written about this yet, but the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it. They haven’t been called on it yet."

Hersh then went on to describe a second area of extra-legal operations: the Joint Special Operations Command. "It is a special wing of our special operations community that is set up independently," he explained. "They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. … Congress has no oversight of it."

"It’s an executive assassination ring essentially, and it’s been going on and on and on," Hersh stated. "Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries, not talking to the ambassador or the CIA station chief, and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us.

Seriously. This dude needs to lay off the fucking bong water and the Kool-Aid. I’ve got ten bucks that says he will either on Keith Olbermann’s show tomorrow or Keith will do another one of his “Head Exploding” special comments as to why President Obama should prosecute the Bush Administration and Bush himself, because of this revelation.  

I am possibly one of the biggest Bush Administration critics out there, I found much of what Bush did in Iraq to quite stupid, I thought the War in Iraq was inherently wrong. But I do not even buy this line of bullshit. Nice try Hershy! But I am not even buying this stupid line of bat shit craziness! Whenever you recover from talking out of your rather large ass, I might start taking you serious again, until this, enjoy the tin foil hat crown, because believe me, that is where you fucking belong.

On Douthat

Yes, I’ve heard about it. I really do not have anything negative to say about him going to the NYT. Douthat on the other hand, I found to be a bit snobbish. I once sent him an e-mail and never got a response. I suppose that Mr. Douthat, a beltway type; has no time for us amateur basement dwellers. Which is pretty fucking ironic, because that is how this whole blogging thing got started, by a bunch of basement dwellers who decided to start writing about politics; Liberal, Conservative, and yes even Libertarian…. and decided to make our own damned community.

I agree with the fact that Douthat will most likely will do better than David Brooks, and believe that is not saying much at all. Brooks was about a fucking idiot. He was a perfect example of the idiotic mumbling that comes out of the Neo-Conservative circles anymore. Which is why the Harlem globetrotter is in the White House now. 

Anyhow, I hope he does well and gets his facts straight, because God-knows the Republican Party needs a image makeover right now.

The Obligatory “Obama’s Staff is staff is sinking him” Posting

Somehow, I knew this was coming…

Via Salon:

Free Barack!

Yes, free the president from his flacks, fixers and goons — his posse of smirky smart alecks and provincial rubes, who were shrewd enough to beat the slow, pompous Clintons in the mano-a-mano primaries but who seem like dazed lost lambs in the brave new world of federal legislation and global statesmanship.

Heads should be rolling at the White House for the embarrassing series of flubs that have overshadowed President Obama’s first seven weeks in office and given the scattered, demoralized Republicans a huge boost toward regrouping and resurrection. (Michelle, please use those fabulous toned arms to butt some heads!)

First it was that chaotic pig rut of a stimulus package, which let House Democrats throw a thousand crazy kitchen sinks into what should have been a focused blueprint for economic recovery. Then it was the stunt of unnerving Wall Street by sending out a shrill duo of slick geeks (Timothy Geithner and Peter Orszag) as the administration’s weirdly adolescent spokesmen on economics. Who could ever have confidence in that sorry pair?

And then there was the fiasco of the ham-handed White House reception for British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, which was evidently lacking the most basic elements of ceremony and protocol. Don’t they read the “Iliad” anymore in the Ivy League? Check that out for the all-important ritual of gift giving, which has cemented alliances around the world for 5,000 years.

President Obama — in whom I still have great hope and confidence — has been ill-served by his advisors and staff. Yes, they have all been blindsided and overwhelmed by the crushing demands of the presidency. But I continue to believe in citizen presidents, who must learn by doing, even in a perilous age of terrorism. Though every novice administration makes blunders and bloopers, its modus operandi should not be a conspiratorial reflex cynicism.

Camille goes on cite the pork stimulus bill, Rush Limbaugh, the Gordon Brown snub, and a bunch of other stuff.  Camille does make a good point; however, I find myself straining to muster any pity for these people. They knew what they were getting when they voted for Obama. They were well aware of his inexperience, his lack of real administrative experience.  Further more, Camille and her follow liberals knew that Obama and this Liberal congress knew that Obama and Nancy Pelosi were big Government socialists. So, why the complaining? I really just don’t get that at all.

I believe this article, in itself, is living proof of what Conservatives have known about Democrats and Liberals for ages, that they, when given the reins; always overreach. They get into power and get excited about having all that raw power and proceed to stumble. It happened during the Carter Administration, During the Johnson Administration, and on and on…

From this point out, two things will happen. Obama will either grab his Administration by the horns and start running a tighter ship, or he will let his Administration run wild and will go down as the biggest buffoon President outside of George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. I am tending towards the latter myself.

Either way, it is going to be an interesting four years, to say the least.

An Interesting Video

Okay, I’d like some feedback on this video here. (H/T to this guy)

Not sure what to think…. Opinions Please.

The only part I really disagreed with is, the part about a Republican style of Government. I do not believe that it was referring to the modern day Republican Party, But rather was referring to a Republic style of Government and not the actual party itself.  This would be in contrast to British Monarchy or a, dare I say it?  A Socialist Democracy. 😀

Again, feedback, Please, comment!

Tragedy In Alabama

I had heard something about this on Fox News… But here it is:

Via the Charlotte Observer:

A gunman went on a shooting spree in two neighboring south Alabama towns Tuesday, killing nine people before he shot himself at a metals plant, authorities said. Police are investigating at least four separate shootings, all believed to be done by one gunman, whose name was not released, the Alabama Department of Safety said in a statement.

The shootings began late in the afternoon in Samson. The shooter killed five people in one home and one each in two other homes.

The gunman also shot at a state trooper’s car, striking the vehicle seven times and wounding the trooper with broken glass.

He then killed someone at a Samson supply store and another person at a service station, the safety department said.

Police pursued him to Reliable Metal Products just north of Geneva, about a dozen miles southeast of Samson, where he fired an estimated 30 rounds. One of the bullets hit Geneva Police Chief Frankie Lindsey, who was saved by his bullet proof vest, the safety department said.

The statement says the gunman then went in the plant and shot himself. His name was not released.

The gunman had worked at Reliable Metal, said state Rep. Warren Beck, a Republican whose district includes Geneva.

“My secretary heard gunfire everywhere,” he said. “This is one of the most tragic events ever in Geneva County.”

Of course, your liberals will use this as excuse to have a stupid so-called assault weapons ban.

Truly a Sad story. 🙁 Say a prayer for those in this town tonight.

The Obligatory Charles Freeman withdrawal from appointment posting

I think that this is a good thing, for a number of reasons.

Charles Freeman, the Obama administration’s choice to head the National Intelligence Council, has withdrawn from consideration after facing strong opposition from Senate Republicans.

Freeman is the latest in a string of Obama administration appointees and nominees to withdraw in the past few weeks.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) told The Hill that Freeman has withdrawn his nomination and that Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair agreed to accept the decision. Blair released a statement late Tuesday announcing Freeman’s decision.

The withdrawal came hours after Freeman agreed to testify before the Senate intelligence panel on Thursday to answer questions raised in recent days. All seven Republicans on the panel had sent a letter to Blair raising concerns about Freeman’s experience and objectivity.

Earlier on Tuesday Feinstein told The HIll she was keeping an open mind on Freeman’s appointment.

“I’ve talked to director Blair about it. Director Blair feels this is not a policy job, that he’s well qualified for what he wants him to do,” Feinstein said. “I feel presidents should have their choice if possible of appointments. I’ve read Mr. Freeman characterized in a number of different of ways. We’d like an opportunity to talk with him and get our own fix on these views. How strongly their held, whether in fact there is bias.”

The reason why I say this, is because of this little quote right here: (H/T HotAir.com)

MR. FREEMAN: On the question of U.S. strikes on targets on Iran or elsewhere, I simply want to register what I think is an obvious point; namely that what 9/11 showed is that if we bomb people, they bomb back.

Ed Morrisey provides that perfect reply to this, that I agree with 100%:

Uh, what?  Starting in 1993, al-Qaeda conducted a series of attacks on American targets, including the World Trade Center, Khobar Towers, two American embassies in Africa, and the USS Cole.  We didn’t attempt to bomb them until 1998, when we missed them entirely, thanks to a collapse in operational security.  We didn’t bomb the Saudis or Yemenis at any point, the two nationalities to which Osama bin Laden can lay claim, or Egypt, where Ayman al-Zawahiri was born.

The point is here that this guy was obviously among the anti-Zionist crowd, like these guys here.

Let me be absolutely clear, I am not a huge fan of the Evangelical Zionist crowd; whom are famous for thier doctrinal error and unholy alliances with unbelievers and unsaved, but to have someone who obviously was trying to blame Israel and America for the 9/11 attacks, was not very smart move by the Obama Administration.

So, in this case, yeah, I believe this was a good thing for this clown to remove his name for consideration. Maybe he will get a job with the American Free Press crowd, God knows, that is where he belongs. 🙄

….and before any Conspiracy theory meatballs come in here and try and chide me, feel free, with a push of one button, I can ban your stinking IP address and you won’t even be able to view this blog. So, bring it on boys, I wanna weed out the idiots. 😡

Why I totally reject the so-called “Warning” from David Wilkerson

I noticed here as of lately that on WorldNetDaily, that David Wilkerson has issued a so-called “Warning” and advice to Christians everywhere about some so-called horrific event that is going to take place.

I want it to be known publicly, that I feel that David Wilkerson has had nothing more than an overactive imagination. Which is about all Pentecostals ever have.

I say this, because David Wilkerson is nothing more than a Pentecostal Christian, he is one of the many deluded Christians that possess the flawed belief system, that God is still speaking today, that healing was promised in the atonement, that “Speaking in tongues” is a legit belief system; despite that the fact that the Bible proves that very wrong.

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a former Pentecostal, who came out of that silly bunch of nonsense, after 21 years, of watching that movement steadily veer towards liberal Christianity. I am now a Fundamentalist Christian, my doctrine is of the Baptist nature.

There are a bunch of articles that bring out the nonsensical beliefs that Pentecostals Teach, I highly recommend them to read:

More stuff to read about these sort of Christians and their evangelical counterparts:

Hope this helps, Remember everything that the God himself has said and everything that Jesus has ever said, is contained in those 66 book, of that thing we call the Bible. Everything else is a well funded and orchestrated FRAUD!

By the way, I am a King James Bible believer, here are some articles that back up, what I believe:

Some books to read about the false doctrine of Pentecostalism:


The “so-called’ Collapse of Evangelical Christianity.

I have my doubts about this:

We are on the verge – within 10 years – of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity. This breakdown will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world and it will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment in the West.

Within two generations, evangelicalism will be a house deserted of half its occupants. (Between 25 and 35 percent of Americans today are Evangelicals.) In the “Protestant” 20th century, Evangelicals flourished. But they will soon be living in a very secular and religiously antagonistic 21st century.

This collapse will herald the arrival of an anti-Christian chapter of the post-Christian West. Intolerance of Christianity will rise to levels many of us have not believed possible in our lifetimes, and public policy will become hostile toward evangelical Christianity, seeing it as the opponent of the common good.

Millions of Evangelicals will quit. Thousands of ministries will end. Christian media will be reduced, if not eliminated. Many Christian schools will go into rapid decline. I’m convinced the grace and mission of God will reach to the ends of the earth. But the end of evangelicalism as we know it is close.

All this written by a news service which was started by a group of kooks, calling themselves “Christians”. Christian Science is a cult, Started by Mary Baker Eddy. It has been discarded by mainline Christianity for years.

So, in the opinion of this Fundamental Baptist. Take this with a gain of salt.
