Why does the Liberal media continue to lie about the Bill Sparkman death?

Posted on

You know, there is something to be said about darn good journalism. Once again; Robert Stacy McCain does, what the Main Stream Corporate Media will not do. Report the story accurately.

An Excerpt from the story in The American Spectator: (H/T The Other McCain)

“He knocked on the wrong door,” was the way one resident described what most locals familiar with the case consider the most likely scenario for Sparkman’s killing. As the Newseek story notes, eastern Kentucky is known as a haven of marijuana growers. The weed growers plant their crops in Daniel Boone National Forest, which sprawls across the mountainous region and encompasses half of Clay County.

What would be proven if we knew (as we do not) that Sparkman was engaged in Census work at the time of his disappearance — most likely Sept. 9, three days before his body was discovered in the Hoskins family cemetery some 30 miles east of his home — and “knocked on the wrong door”?

If the fatal door he knocked on was at the home of a marijuana grower or a drug dealer (methamphetamine and other drugs are also problems in the region), who killed him after mistaking Sparkman’s federal identification as evidence that the stranger was a narcotics agent, is that an “anti-government” or “anti-Census” motive? Or is it merely a criminal seeking to prevent detection of his crimes — the kind of killing that happens with unfortunate frequency in America all the time?

That, however, is strictly a hypothetical scenario. The haste of some journalists and bloggers to attribute Sparkman’s mysterious death to a particular motive — to give it a political meaning — based on speculation and assumptions, is irresponsible in the extreme. . . . – Read the Rest, Please.

I like to tease Robert Stacy McCain quite a bit; it is because I happen to like the old chap. But, in reality I know damn well, that Mr. McCain is one of those rare reporters; who tells the truth, puts his political beliefs aside and tells the straight story. It is a great pity, that some of his equals among the liberally financed media, are not able to do the same thing. It is pretty bad; when someone like me or anyone else in America, has to go to a Conservative Blog or a Conservative-owned and financed magazine to get to the straight truth about a story.

My question to you is this; what does it say about the status of the American media, when you go to sites like Newsweek and you happen to read stories like the one about Bill Sparkman, which are outright fabrications of the truth?  The answer is quite and painfully obvious; that the Socialist Liberal-funded Media, in it’s desire to please the new Black President of the United States of America; has, in fact, sacrificed its integrity at the alter of the Socialist, Anti-Conservative agenda.  Bill O’Reilly has said this for years; and nobody believed him; now it is getting harder and harder to ignore or even to dismiss that fact. In fact, I used to laugh at Bill for even making that accusation. However, it is now becoming more and more apparent to this writer, that the liberal-funded media is not interested in reporting the fact,  but is more interested in further the agenda of the far, far left and possibly even the agenda of the White House itself.

What does this mean for Blogs, Conservative websites and Blogs? It means that the rest of America; who are not committed leftists, are going to start reading these sites to see anything, that is even remotely critical of the President or to see any true accurate reporting. I believe it is sad too; because there was a time, when one could actually get decent reporting out of the Corporate funded media. Honestly, if it were not for Rupert Murdoch; I believe much of the honest and critical reporting of President Barack Obama would be limited to Blogs and small Conservative media outlets. Honestly? There was a time, when I used to grind my teeth and curse the fact that Rupert Murdoch even existed; but now, quite frankly, I am eternally grateful for the man and his media outlet. Further more, I am eternally grateful for those, who stick their necks out and choose to do battle with the Socialists, who dominate the media circus. There are many of them; and they know who they are and how much I am grateful for them.

My friends, it is going to be long painful four to eight years in America; we must choose now, if we stand and fight or if we decided to shrink away and allow our freedoms to be taken from us.  There will be personal risks involved and the rewards will be minimal, but if we are to save this might Republic from those who want to see it destroyed, we are going to have to count the cost and work. Who of among you will join us?

The harvest is vast, but the laborers are few.

When I see Michelle Malkin and Lew Rockwell’s Blog writing the same funny stuff. I really have to wonder. 😮

Michelle Writes:

Some of my best memories are sitting on my dad’s lap, cheering on Olga and Nadia, Carl Lewis, and others for their brilliance and perfection.”

Um. Ew. Oof.

Mrs. Obama was 20 years old when Lewis first competed in the Olympics in 1984.

Senior White House adviser and Chicago slumlord overseer Valerie Jarrett promised earlier this week that “there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the room” after FLOTUS spoke.

She probably wasn’t expecting tears of…laughter.

Karen De Coster at Lew Rockwell’s Blog Writes:

A reader, Sal, pointed out that she said (starting at about the 1:00 point) some of her best memories were “sitting on her father’s lap, cheering on Olga, Nadia, and Carl Lewis…..” Her speechwriter needs to do much better. Carl Lewis first competed in the Olympics in 1984 when Michelle was twenty years old. She was bouncing on her father’s lap? Nadia Comaneci competed in 1976, when Michelle was twelve, and Olga Korbut in 1972, when Michelle was eight years old.

Heh… Well, I thought it was funny! Hmmm, Maybe there’s hope that the Libertarian and Republican Party rift can be healed after all! 😀 😉

…..well, a guy can dream, can’t he? 😛

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a Jew?

Posted on1 Comment

Oh, now this is just rich….

A photograph of the Iranian president holding up his identity card during elections in March 2008 clearly shows his family has Jewish roots.

A close-up of the document reveals he was previously known as Sabourjian – a Jewish name meaning cloth weaver.

The short note scrawled on the card suggests his family changed its name to Ahmadinejad when they converted to embrace Islam after his birth.

The Sabourjians traditionally hail from Aradan, Mr Ahmadinejad’s birthplace, and the name derives from “weaver of the Sabour”, the name for the Jewish Tallit shawl in Persia. The name is even on the list of reserved names for Iranian Jews compiled by Iran’s Ministry of the Interior.

via Mahmoud Ahmadinejad revealed to have Jewish past – Telegraph.

Now that is something; the reason why the experts believe that he is basically crazy is this:

Experts last night suggested Mr Ahmadinejad’s track record for hate-filled attacks on Jews could be an overcompensation to hide his past.

Ali Nourizadeh, of the Centre for Arab and Iranian Studies, said: “This aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad’s background explains a lot about him.

“Every family that converts into a different religion takes a new identity by condemning their old faith.

“By making anti-Israeli statements he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections. He feels vulnerable in a radical Shia society.

Kind of reminds me of another Jew, who slaughtered a few of his own; to cover for his own past. Adolf Hitler. Although, there are those that claim that is untrue. It would not surprise me one iota.

Does this change my opinion of the man? No. I still think that he is a horrible human being. But it does explain as to why he is a horrible human being.

Huzzah! Good News from the War zone!

Sweet!

Pakistan’s paramilitary forces say they have killed 27 militants, including two important commanders, in on ongoing operation in the northwestern Khyber tribal region.

A statement from the Frontier Corps said the troops also destroyed two militant hideouts in Friday’s operations. An explosives-laden vehicle and 18 other vehicles also were destroyed.

It was not possible to independently confirm the statements. Access to Khyber is restricted.

Under pressure from the U.S., Pakistan launched the operation weeks ago after insurgents stepped up attacks on trucks carrying supplies to American and NATO forces fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan.

It is always good to know that our troops are making gains. Huzzah! 😀

That’s right folks. I am stepping into the cross hairs! *gulp*

Anyhow, I am going on with this lady here:

Angie Coiro

Angie Coiro

Angie’s Website and Angie’s Page over at Green 96 FM’s website

Anyhow, I am going to be on Angie’s show towards the end; talking about the human impact of the Saturn closure. I guess Angie was impressed with what I wrote.  The Show airs from 6:00 to 8:00pm California time. (that’s 9:00 till 11:00 EST)

I can tell you this; this will NOT be a Conservative vs Liberal screaming match or a debate. Just a chat between two people; albeit two people from very different political positions and an personal perspective on a rather big story here in the Michigan area.

As you can most likely guess; I am nervous, this is my first radio interview. But I promise, I will be civil and try to just stick to the subject; without all the normal nonsense that we “gun toting crazy right wingers” are known for. 😉  😛

Wish me luck, Please. I need it. 😮

Just a parting thought: My first farking radio interview and it’s by a socialist liberal!?!?! Good Lord. Hannity? O’Reilly? None of ya’ll got no love for me? Come on ya’ll!! Yer killing me here! 🙄

Update: Well, that went well, no fighting and I thought I answered the questions as best I could. 😀

Breaking News: Chicago eliminated from the 2016 Olympics, In the First Round!

Posted on

Oh, this is too good. Mr. President Entitlement and his white hating wife went to Olympics; to basically demand that the Olympics come to Chicago.

…..and they were denied.

The Story via New York Times who is feeling is Heart-Ache:

The Olympics were awarded to a South American city for the first time, when the International Olympic Committee voted Rio de Janeiro as the host of the 2016 Games on Friday.

Rio de Janeiro was voted the winner over Madrid in the final round of voting, the I.O.C. having already delivered the an unexpectedly early knockout blow to Chicago, which was eliminated in the first round. Tokyo was ousted in the second.

I.O.C. president Jacques Rogge made the announcement the send crowds in Rio de Janeiro into celebration.

Tens of thousands of people began partying early in Rio on the Copacabana beach. Musicians played samba music from a main stage flanked by large screens, as people danced, held towering cones of cotton candy, and showed off the national colors of Brazil by donning yellow and green wigs or skimpy yellow and green bikinis. A big beach ball bounced around the crowd, marked with the words: “It’s Rio’s time.”

The scene had been entirely different in Chicago, where throngs in Daley Plaza gasped in disappointment when Rogge announced Chicago had been eliminated. It was a surprisingly early exit, especially because of President Barack Obama’s whirlwind trip to boost the bid of his adopted city. Mr. Obama was the first American president to make an in-person appeal for a bid city and first lady Michelle Obama had also come earlier this week to lobby I.O.C. members for votes.

Chicago’s bid leaders had worked for nearly four years and spent close to $50 million to bring the Summer Olympics to the United States for the first time in 20 years. Chicago had been considered among Olympic insiders as a favorite to win the Games, along with Rio.

Instead, the I.O.C. delivered a crushing blow to American hopes for the second straight time. New York’s bid was eliminated in the second round of voting for the 2012 Olympics.

United States Olympic Committee leaders appeared stunned by the news and had no comment as they left the voting hall. Mr. Obama was flying back to Washington at the time of the vote.

The In God We trust Blog reports that Glenn Beck predicted that it would not go to Chicago. Which really is not much of a surprise.

This video is just too freakin’ funny. One of CNN’s black Anchors has a breakdown because his black President got told no: (H/T AllahPundit)

Speaking of funny…. David Axlerod blames the G.O.P. Politics for Chicago getting passed over:

Top White House adviser David Axelrod says "politics" played a key role in the International Olympic Committee’s decision to reject President Obama’s appeal in support of Chicago’s bid to host the 2016 Olympics.

In an interview moments ago on CNN, Axelrod said, "I don’t view this as a repudiation of the president or the first lady. I think that there are politics everywhere, and there were politics inside that room." Axelrod said that a former head of the IOC was leading Madrid’s effort for the games, and others involved in other Olympic bids also had connections with the IOC. "As with any process like this, there are all kinds of crosscurrents in the room, there are relationships," Axelrod said.

Asked for details, Axelrod said, "I’m not suggesting anything nefarious…I’m not suggesting anything untoward happened. There are politics around every process, and there were here as well…There were relationships that paid off for some of the other cities."

Can you say, Heart-Ache???? The Bottom line is, you try and exploit; sometimes you get burned!

Here’s Axlerod crying in his… um, Beer:

Boo Freakin’ Hoo. I guess the "One" isn’t as all powerful as they thought. 😛

Michael Moore says Union For Thee, but not for me!

Posted on1 Comment

I’ve already written about this idiot once this week. But here we go again!

Michael Moore, champion of the working class, used non-union stagehands to film “Capitalism: A Love Story.” The porcine provocateur is promoting his anti-Wall Street jeremiad by giving free tickets to unions, but the American Federation of Teachers has turned them down because Moore didn’t hire any members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. “Michael Moore and one of our sister unions, IATSE, are in discussions about concerns the union has,” the AFT told ABC News. “The AFT has decided against accepting tickets until those issues are resolved.” Moore’s agent, Ari Emanuel, seems to blame the IATSE for treating documentarians as “second-class filmmakers.” “This is a Writers Guild, Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild film, as all Michael’s films are,” Emanuel said. “He is a proud, dues-paying member of all three of these unions.”

via Michael Moore used non-unionized stagehands on documentary ‘Capitalism: A Love Story’.

How typical. The socialist Democrats like the use the Unions as their useful idiots. This is living proof.

Why Ron Paul is not President

Posted on

First the Video:

First, AllahPundit, Who was in New York the day of the September 11’th attacks:

1. Who are the mysterious “neocons” who forced poor Barack Obama to disclose the secret Qom site, which Paul would have you believe he didn’t want to do even though he’s been preparing to do it for months? Or have I misunderstood and he’s actually suggesting that Obama’s been duped and that there’s no secret Qom site at all, even though other western intel services have been keeping tabs on it for years? Give us the names of this nefarious Jewish — sorry, I mean “neocon” — cabal, please.

2. According to The Only Man Who Can Save America, Iran actually disclosed the existence of the Qom site to the IAEA before Obama disclosed it, ergo it’s not actually a secret. True. What he doesn’t mention: They only disclosed it a week ago, in the vaguest possible terms, after having kept it a secret for at least three years, and only because they realized that the west knew about it and was about to blow their cover. Nuance, Ron Paul style.

3. An excellent point: He notes that U.S. intel apparently knew about the secret Qom site even before the infamous 2007 NIE declaring that Iran had halted its weapons program was released. Not so excellent: The conclusion he draws from this, apparently, is that the Qom site is nothing to worry about rather than the much more likely conclusion that evidence of Iranian weaponization was withheld from the NIE in a politicized bid to deny Bush any reason to take military action against Iran. Oh, also? No mention here that classified portions of that very same NIE declared that Iran had an estimated 10 to 15 secret nuclear sites. How come, Doctor?

4. “What does the law say?” wonders our hero, declaring Iran innocent of any international violations. In fact, IAEA chief Mohammed ElBaradei acknowledged just this morning that Iran had broken the law. (In Paul’s semi-defense, this clip was recorded three days ago.)

5. He asserts that the IAEA has never found Iran’s nuclear program to be at fault, which (a) overlooks point 4 above and (b) ignores the fact that the IAEA has been credibly accused by western intel agencies — and not just America’s — of suppressing evidence that incriminates Iran in order to avoid military conflict. In fact, ElBaradei himself is an Iranian stooge of such longstanding that we’ve been writing about it since practically day one of Hot Air. The fact that even he’s been forced to get tough-ish is all the proof you need that Tehran’s in flagrant violation of its international commitments.

I know that there are some, who read this blog, who possibly remember when I actually used to defend this feckless old goat. This stopped when I realized that Dr. Paul is nothing more than an nuanced Israel hating Jew basher. Between him and Pat Buchanan; I believe there are not two more perfect examples of what happened to the Republican Party AFTER the death of President Lincoln. For a historical context I will explain. After World War 1, a group of people; which at the time, was a large group, became what is now known as the “Taft” wing of the Republican Party.  They were opposed to every aspect of the Administration of FDR; including the efforts to bring America out of the great depression; after the great stock market crash of 1929. After the rise of people like William Buckley Jr. and Irving Kristol; this group become less and less influential within the Republican Party. Thus creating the great gulf that is between the two camps.

I will be the first to admit; that when it comes to fiscal policy; I am somewhat in agree with Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul. I believe that Keynesian Economics is the worst model of economics out there; and that Austrian Economics, along with the taming of the Federal Reserve, at the very least would be a very good idea. I believe a full return to the gold standard would be a wise idea. However, I have heard the arguments for and against that idea, and I see the validity in both sides.

However, there is one thing that I cannot and will not attempt to defend and that is the sometimes outright and sometimes nuanced racism and antisemitism that flows through the ranks of the Paleo-Conservative circles. I mean, if it were left to people like Ron Paul and yes too; Pat Buchanan, the Jewish race would have been eliminated for the “Greater Good” of America and Hitler would have remained an ally of America. America after the attack of Peal Harbor would have seen as fit punishment for America’s dabbling into the affairs of other Governments. Do not laugh; I have read this sort of tripe on “Paleo-Conservative” websites.

While Ron Paul’s Fiscal polices might be a noble idea; albeit quite unrealistic in these days of globalism. His tolerance and promotion of antisemitism and nuanced racism are totally intolerable and are the reason why Ron Paul or any of the other “Players” in the Paleo-Conservative world are not in the White House; nor will they ever be.

Someone tries to extort David Letterman out of 2 million

Posted on

Karma?

Update: Video Added: (H/T AllahPundit)

In an uncharacteristically personal revelation for David Letterman, the host took to his “Late Show” stage Thursday to admit that he was the victim of an extortion attempt — and acknowledge that he has had sexual relations with more than one staff member.

Online media reports named the man in the alleged extortion case as Robert Halderman, a producer for CBS.

David Letterman - Douche Nozzle hypocrite extraordinaire

In a statement, Eye confirmed that it “was made aware of an ongoing police investigation involving David Letterman and an employee at ’48 Hours,’ who was subsequently arrested earlier today on charges of attempted grand larceny in the first degree. CBS is cooperating fully with the authorities and the employee has been suspended pending the results of the investigation. Mr. Letterman addressed the issue during the show’s broadcast this evening, and we believe his comments speak for themselves.”

On the show, Letterman sat down behind his desk and asked his audience whether they wanted to hear a story — and the crowd enthusiastically cheered, not knowing what they were about to hear.

According to the host first received a package three weeks ago from someone who claimed to have information about alleged sexual relations he has had with female employees of the “Late Show.”

“I get to looking through it and there’s a letter in the package and it says, ‘I know that you do some terrible, terrible things. And I can prove that you do these terrible things.’ Sure enough, contained in the package was stuff to prove that I do terrible things,” Letterman said on Thursday’s edition of CBS’ “Late Show.”

The host said the alleged extortion suspect claimed he planned to write both a movie screenplay and a book based on what he knew — that Letterman had engaged in sex with staffers.

“He’s going to take all the terrible stuff he knows about my life — and according to this packet, there seems to be a lot of terrible stuff he knows about — and he’s going to put it into a movie unless I give him some money,” he said. “That’s a little hinky. I just want to reiterate how terrifying this moment is. Because there’s something very insidious about, is he standing down there, is he hiding under the car, am I going to get a tap on the shoulder?”

Letterman said the individual threatened to go public with the allegations unless Letterman paid the person $2 million.

The host, under advisement of his attorney, met with the man on three different occasions. According to Letterman, the suspect even made it clear he knew what he was doing was illegal.

Letterman told his audience that he then contacted the Manhattan District Attorney’s Special Prosecution Bureau.

“I had to tell them how I was disturbed by this I was worried for myself, I was worried for my family, I felt menaced by this, and I had to tell them all of the creepy things that I have done that were going to be exposed,” he said.

At that point in the story, the audience laughed nervously. “Now why is that funny?” Letterman asked.

The meeting with the D.A. led to a sting operation, in which Letterman met with the individual and handed the person a fake $2 million check. That person was arrested on Thursday.

“This morning, I did something I’ve never done in my life,” Letterman said. “I had to go downtown and testify before a grand jury.”

As part of the testimony, Letterman admitted that he had engaged in sexual relationships with staff members.

“My response to that is, yes I have. Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would,” Letterman said. “Especially for the women. But that’s a decision for them to make if they want to come public and talk about the relationships.

Letterman called the series of events “a very bizarre experience.”

“I feel like I need to protect these people — I need to certainly protect my family,” he said.

I am just going to say this; because it seems that none of the other Conservative blogs have the farking balls to say it. This jerk bastard had it coming. I mean, basically this idiot and the socialist idiots over at Saturday Night Live were the one’s who smeared John McCain and essentially ruined John McCain’s chances of ever becoming President. This guy, in cahoots with MSNBC basically railroaded John McCain and Yes, too; Sarah Palin’s Presidential campaign.

This too; is a quite revealing look at the underbelly of the Hollywood/Liberal elitist entertainment industry. I mean, isn’t it the Hollywood Liberal Elitists, who want to maintain that they are the moral compass for the rest of America; all the while deriding we Conservatives and we Christians as vile hypocrites and evil capitalists?  The irony here is as thick as pea soup.

I am sorry; but unlike some weak-kneed Conservatives; I have zero pity for this bastard and I am sorry that this guy was not successful in exposing this jerk for what he really was.

The Obligatory Michael Moore Anti-Capitalist Video Posting

Posted on1 Comment

Yeah, I know, you all are looking for this. I looked at the logs. Okay, Okay here it is! 😛

Here’s the straight dope on Michael Moore’s anti-capitalist fortune via CNSNEWS:

According to Fortune Magazine, Moore’s films have grossed over $300 million worldwide. His highest grossing film was “Fahrenheit 9/11,” which critiques the Bush administration’s handling of the war in Iraq and earned over $200 million worldwide.

Moore reportedly was paid $21 million by Disney for producing, directing and creating the film.

Moore also earned 50 percent of the profits of his 2007 film “Sicko,” totaling $25 million plus DVD sales, according to Vanity Fair.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Moore would receive all of the profits made from DVD sales of “Sicko,” sales of which have been estimated at over $17 million.

Now this is the part of his little story; that I will say he partly right and partly embellishing the truth:

“You know, I had to pretty much beg, borrow and steal,” he said. “The system is not set up to help somebody from the working class make a movie like this and get the truth out there.”

Okay, I will give him a half a point here. At the time his first movie was produced. It was tough to get loans from the banks to get the production equipment to make movies. The problem is, Michael Moore; as usual, is withholding the truth a bit.

Here are the facts:

After dropping out of the University of Michigan-Flint (where he wrote for the student newspaper The Michigan Times) and working for a day at the General Motors plant,[17] at 22 he founded the alternative weekly magazine The Flint Voice, which soon changed its name to The Michigan Voice as it expanded to cover the entire state. In 1986, when Moore became the editor of Mother Jones, a liberal political magazine, he moved to California and The Michigan Voice was shut down.

After four months at Mother Jones, Moore was fired. Matt Labash claims this was for refusing to print an article by Paul Berman that was critical of the Sandinista human rights record in Nicaragua.[18] Moore refused to run the article believing it to be inaccurate. “The article was flatly wrong and the worst kind of patronizing bullshit. You would scarcely know from it that the United States had been at war with Nicaragua for the last five years”.[19] Berman described Moore as a “very ideological guy and not a very well-educated guy” when asked about the incident.[20] Moore believes that Mother Jones fired him because of the publisher’s refusal to allow him to cover a story on the GM plant closings in his hometown of Flint, Michigan. He responded by putting laid-off GM worker Ben Hamper (who was also writing for the same magazine at the time) on the magazine’s cover, leading to his termination. Moore sued for wrongful dismissal, and settled out of court for $58,000, providing him with seed money for his first film, Roger & Me. – Source Wikipedia

So much for total honesty. 🙄

Now for the baldfaced lie:

“Look, you know, I mean, I make documentary films,” said Moore. “So, clearly, I’m not loaded in the way you described. But I do well, obviously because my films do well.”

“So, that means I have an extra responsibility to make sure I spend my time trying to make things better for the people that don’t have what I have, right? I mean, everybody should do that,” he said.

Moore saying that he is not loaded; but does well —— is like me saying that I am not fat, but rather slightly chubby.

Cue the Music!

The ‘Hey, that’s a pretty new gun!’ posting of the month

Posted on

I’m a bit overdue.

I had an interesting morning today. I went down to pick up a few new arrivals and saw a blue gun case, instantly tagging it as a Sig. So I thought to myself, “Why are we getting our third 556 in the past three weeks?” I opened the box and realized…this isn’t a 556, this is an AR! I ran up to the offices grabbed the Rifleman crew who assured me I wasn’t going insane. The Sig 516 is the new AR. Here’s a picture for you, but don’t tell anyone because it doesn’t exist.

Since we’re talking about a new gun, here’s what you need to know:

1. It’s piston operated and has an adjustable gas regulator similar to the Ruger 556.

2. It has an ambidextrous safety.

3. Comes with Yankee Hill folding rear and front sights.

4. It’s an AR.

via This is my Job: The SIG 516.

Ain’t it purdy? 😉

I must admit; that is a bit much for fire power for me personally. I’d be happy with a .357 glock or something of that nature. I mean, I want self defense; not start a war! 😛 😆

Anyhow, she is pretty. 😀

Does President Obama want to impose a VAT tax?

Posted on2 Comments

Great, that is all we need. 🙄

(H/T to Reason)

Does President Obama have a secret plan to raise taxes on middle-class Americans — and,well, pretty much everybody else — with a European-style, value-added tax? Actually, it’s not such a big secret. Connect the dots:

1) The joint statement from the just-concluded G20 Summit in Pittsburgh called for balanced global growth — which means Americans must spend less and save more and reduce its budget deficit.

2) That same weekend, John Podesta, co-chairman of Obama’s presidential transition team and an outside White House adviser, tells a Bloomberg reporter that a value-added tax is “more plausible today” than ever, adding that “there’s going to have to be revenue in this budget.” A VAT is a kind of consumption tax.

3) Yesterday, the Center for American Progress, the liberal think tank with close White House ties, holds a conference on the rising national debt. While speaker after speaker — Paul Krugman, Roger Altman, CAP President Podesta (again), Laura Tyson — admits entitlement spending must be reduced, they also agree that taxes must be raised. Altman suggests $400 billion in new tax revenue is needed almost immediately to calm financial market fears, and a VAT would be a great way of doing it. That’s $400 billion a year, by the way, not over ten years.

4) Also, yesterday was the first meeting of President Obama’s tax reform panel led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. In a two-part interview with Charlie Rose airing yesterday and today, Volcker says that if Washington can’t get spending under control, either a VAT or a carbon tax would be effective revenue raisers. “Those are two big ones,” he says.

5) As they used to say in the Soviet Union, “It’s no coincidence.” This is also the conclusion of one Washington insider with ties to the White House economic team: “Does this all add up to a trial balloon? Of course, it’s a trial balloon. And I expect the administration will propose major tax reform, including a VAT.”

via James Pethokoukis – Obama’s not-so-secret plan to raise taxes

Terrific. First Obama wants to shove healthcare down our throats and then he wants to tax the living hell out of us; to pay for it. Fantastic. 🙄

Somewhere, John McCain is smiling. Because he warned America, that if they elected Obama to be President; that this would be the result. Did America listen? Of course not. Because of mean ol’ Bush; people wanted change. While I can understand the desire for change. But did America want this sort of change? Of course not. However, elections have consequences; and this is one of them.

Realistically however, I doubt that the White House would be able to get something of this nature. It just does not seem feasible. The reason being that Congress knows that they are on borrowed time.  The midterms are coming; and I highly doubt that anyone in Congress would be that crazy to try and pass anything of this nature. Heck, there already is great infighting over the “Public Option” in that healthcare bill. So, this would even lead to more that.

So, while it would not hurt to be vigil for something of this nature. I highly doubt that the Democrats are going to attempt to do something this hair-brained.

Sometimes you read some of the funniest stuff on Blogs:

She’s not a bitter, angry man-hater, though. As she said, she just likes more feminine-type personalities. Which was kind of weird, in that she seemed to like me a lot. But we don’t want to contemplate that sort of complex geometric distortion in the gaydar bounce-back pattern, do we?

No, we don’t. I’m a happily married father of six, and anyone who suggests that this is some sort of overcompensation should be warned that my Samoan attorney is notoriously sensitive about potentially libelous defamation. It’s OK for me to call myself a “neo-Confederate lesbian” — that’s just self-referential humor — but woe unto any Little Green Loser who doesn’t get the joke.

I remember reading somewhere once, that Mr. McCain was a really nice guy —- except for that little gay twang to his voice. Now I totally understand why. 😆

Happily married father of six. Ha! That’s what he wants us to believe. 😛 😉

End of the line for G.M. Saturn

Posted on1 Comment

Truly a sad story:

General Motors Co. will shut down Saturn now that a deal with former race car driver and auto dealer magnate Roger Penske has collapsed, marking the end of a brand that was supposed to revolutionize the way small cars were built and sold in America.

The deal with Penske was supposed to be finalized Wednesday. But the unexpected end came when his company, Penske Automotive Group Inc., was unable to find a manufacturer to supply vehicles for the brand’s dealerships. GM had agreed to keep building Saturn models like the Aura, Outlook and Vue through at least 2011, but after that, Saturn would have to come up with its own products.

Penske’s tentative deal buy Saturn was announced in early June.

“This is very disappointing news and comes after months of hard work by hundreds of dedicated employees and Saturn retailers who tried to make the new Saturn a reality,” GM CEO Fritz Henderson said. He said Saturn and its dealership network will be phased out.

I remember when G.M. introduced this line of vehicles back in 1990. My parents almost bought one of those ugly cars; I personally could not stand them. I thought they were just plain ugly. I see that they have improved the look of them; quite a bit. But, more importantly, I remember thinking if G.M. ever hit hard times that these cars would be the first to go. Tragically, it turns out that I was correct.  My father also had the chance to go to Spring Hill, TN to the plant down there. Luckily instead, my Dad chose to go to the Detroit/Hamtramck assembly plant instead. I feel for all of those people who went down there; to make a better life for themselves and now they find themselves out of work. Some Conservatives may want to mock this; I am not one of them. I do not believe in mocking anyone’s misfortune.

Some Conservative bloggers would use this opportunity to bash the unions and the Democrats and Obama for their politics and policies; I am just not going to do it. There is a time and a place for that; and quite frankly, this just is not one of them. As a Son of an autoworker; I know the feeling of Dad being laid off, not knowing if he was going to be working again or not. I have been there. So, I am just not going to politicize this at all. I will leave that the other heartless bloggers, who get their kicks on trashing those who actually work for a living; unlike some of the bloggers who trash them. I could name names, but I think you know who I mean.

My Prayers are with the people of Spring Hill, Tennessee and the people working for Saturn. May God be with them, during this extremely difficult time.

Guest Voice: A TIMELINE OF 20TH CENTURY APOSTASY by David Cloud

Posted on

September 30, 2009 (David Cloud, Fundamental Baptist Information Service, P.O. Box 610368, Port Huron, MI 48061, 866-295-4143, fbns@wayoflife.org; for instructions about subscribing and unsubscribing or changing addresses, see the information paragraph at the end of the article) –

The following is excerpted from the book The Modern Bible Version Hall of Shame, which is available from Way of Life Literature in both book and ebook formats. (292 pages)

Having looked at the late 18th and the 19th centuries and seen the apostasy that swept into Christian churches in the same era that produced modern textual criticism, we will now show a timeline of 20th century apostasy to document what has happened within Christianity at large as the modern critical texts and modern English versions have become dominant. We will begin at the very end of the 19th century after the publication of the English Revised Version and the Westcott-Hort Greek New Testament and move through the 20th. We will see that the unbelief that had begun as a stream in the late 18th century and had become a river in the 19th century became “a veritable ocean of unbelief” in the 20th. Like ivy, the modernism that had slept in the late 18th century and crept in the 19th, leapt in the 20th.

1900 — As a predecessor of the Pentecostal movement, John Alexander Dowie proclaimed that he was “Elijah the Restorer” who was to precede the Lord’s coming and that he was the first apostle of the renewed end time church. Dowie established Zion City north of Chicago, “where doctors, drugs, and devils were not allowed.” His own daughter died of serious burns when he refused medical assistance.
1901 — The modern tongues movement was launched when on New Year’s day Agnes Ozman, a student at Charles Parham’s Bethel Bible School in Topeka, Kansas, allegedly began to speak in a language she had never learned.

1904 — Sigmund Freud published his Psychopathology of Everyday Life, launching the movement of psychoanalysis that has brought such untold moral, spiritual, and psychological injury to modern society and that has permeated Christianity since the latter half of the century.

1906 — The strange and unscriptural “Azusa Street Revival,” with its gibberish “tongues,” false promise of healing, and women preachers, began in Los Angeles, inaugurating the Pentecostal movement.

——— Albert Schweitzer published The Quest for the Historical Jesus, claiming that Jesus was not the supernatural Messiah, the eternal Son of God, but a mere man who, thinking that the destruction of the world was imminent, attempted to usher it in by his death.

1907 — Walter Rauschenbusch published Christianity and the Social Crisis, popularizing the unscriptural Social Gospel. Other influential names in the Social Gospel movement were Washington Gladden and Charles Sheldon, author of In His Footsteps.

Updated: Why do Conservatives do stupid stuff like this??? Article pulled

Posted on2 Comments

Can anyone tell me?

Go read. Update #2: Newsmax has pulled the article. Good on them for doing this; as there is no place for this sort of talk amongst sane folks in the public discourse.

Good Lord. 🙄

Update: My Buddy Ed Morrissey; who’s much more dignified writer than me, (But don’t tell him I said that!) writes:

Newsmax actually ran this as a column, not a blog post.  It’s a lunatic fantasy straight out of Greek theater.  In those days, when mediocre tragedians wrote plots so complicated that they couldn’t resolve them through character interaction, the Deus ex machina (loosely, the Flying God Machine) would deposit a new actor portraying one of the Greek pantheon onto the stage to sort out the mess.  Perry fantasizes about a military takeover that would be the world’s most powerful Deus ex machina, mainly out of political laziness.

[….]

The alternative, non-violent solution is the one we’ve been using for 220 years: elections.  We have another coming in 2010.  If the American people get fed up with the direction of this government, then we will change it in the midterms.  We do not need our military to rescue us from ourselves, thank you very much.

One might excuse this kind of nihilism if it came from a college freshman who had no sense of his own nation’s history, but this comes from a man who served two White House administrations.  There is simply no excuse for this hankering for a banana republic in America from someone who should know much, much better.

To this I will simply add this. If anyone and I do mean anyone believes that any sort of a coup would be “Bloodless”, they are kidding themselves and are living in some sort of fantasy world. The secret service is just not going to stand idly by and allow the Military to overthrow the President.  They are sworn to protect the President; to the death and believe me, they will do it.

I will also say this; anyone that writes this sort of crap; should be fired from their job. I mean, it is one thing to be some sort of Far-right wing Blogger. But to be a writer at a magazine, like Newsmax and to write something like this; is just inexcusable. Shame on Newsmax for allowing this sort of nonsense into their publication. Rupert needs to take stock here and get rid of the garbage on his staff at Newsmax. Because quite frankly, it is starting to make the rest of us sane Conservatives look bad. 😡

The Obligatory ‘Why aren’t Christians like superheros and taking America over’ Posting

Posted on

I have been putting this posting off for a while; mainly because I am a Christian myself and Because I was not sure where I wanted to go with it. But, I think this will suffice.

WorldNetDaily Laments in a article:

The commonly referenced “God gap” between Republicans and Democrats is disappearing.

Polls released before the 2008 election demonstrated America’s Christian voters are no longer synonymous with the political right: a George Barna survey showed born-again Christians evenly split between John McCain and Barack Obama, and a Public Religion Research study found that even among white Evangelicals, touchstone issues like abortion and same-sex marriage weren’t in their top five voting considerations.

If Christian voters share common morals and values, how is it that their voting patterns and priorities aren’t more unified?

According to a new study, the answer is that Christians don’t share a common worldview, their morals and values sprayed across the spectrum by differing views in a handful of key areas.

The 2009 Religious Activists Surveys – conducted by Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron in partnership

with Public Religion Research – focused on religious activists working on both “conservative” and “progressive” causes, and found that while the majority of both types called themselves Christian, they are driven apart by disagreements over social responsibility, biblical authority and the role of government.

The statistics reflect that Christians who differ in defining these key areas also differ in political and moral conviction.

One of the most troubling part of this article was this:

090926activistsstudybible

That last one is what bothers me and stands out as the reason why. 36% of Conservative activists do NOT consider the Bible to be the Literal word of God.  I know why that is; it is because Pastor’s themselves do not believe that; because Christian Colleges are not teaching that the Bible is the LITERAL Word of God anymore. Not only this, Pastors are not being Pastors anymore and are not Preaching the Word of God; but rather are preaching a “User friendly” version of Jesus Christ and trying to make him in to one’s “Homie” and making him a type of a God that “Winks at” sin. Further more, Holiness and separation from the World are not Preached any either.

I also believe it has to do with Bible Versions. I am a King James Bible advocate. I believe that the Church’s departure from the King James Bible; along with many other compromises have caused this.

This is confirmed in this article from The Christian Post:

A minister who preaches on the authority and infallibility of Scripture is often accused of being arrogant, said one pastor. Such criticism, however, is withheld from someone who sits on a stool in a cardigan and chats with the congregation, telling personal stories.

Criticizing the latter form, Doug Wilson, pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, made the case for the preacher who declares “thus saith the Lord.”

“A minister should ascend into the pulpit in order to declare what would have been true had he never been born. He is there to preach what was written in the Word before all ages and is utterly disconnected from his personal dreams, hopes and aspirations,” Wilson said at the Desiring God Ministries’ national conference in Minneapolis on Saturday. “A minister is not up there to develop a relationship with everybody individually.”

Ministers are not supposed to be extemporaneous actors trying to figure out their lines from everything other than the Bible, he noted. They may maintain that their scripts are better, their plot lines are grittier or that their shows make more money, but a minister’s script is Scripture, Wilson stressed.

“He is there to declare something that is outside of his control. What God has revealed to us in the Bible is the message. That’s the script.”

Wilson, who describes himself as a biblical absolutist, gave a nearly 60-minute talk on Calvin, the Bible and the Western world during the three-day conference themed “With Calvin in the Theater of God.”

The Moscow pastor, who also helped to establish the Confederation of Reformed Evangelical Churches, sees ongoing battles today on the infallibility and inerrancy of the Word of God. But believers, he said, are neglecting the battle over the place of the Bible.

“Conservative evangelicals believe the Bible has no mistakes in it … but who today believes as Calvin did? Who treats the Bible as Calvin did?”

Now, I will give a bit of disclosure here; I totally disagree with this man’s Calvinist doctrine. But he does have a very valid point about Pastor’s today. Pastors have become more like motivational speakers; instead of preachers of the Word of God. They have become more like Priests, and not the kind of Pastors that you had in the 1940’s and 1950’s whop spoke out loudly against the sins of mankind. Instead they are interested in a “feel good” user friendly, type of Christianity; like that promoted by Rick Warren.

Now, I will admit; I have serious issues with the “Evangelical” and “Fundamentalist” Churches. I basically have been involved in both and I have seen the Good, Bad, and the Ugly of both. Hence the reason why I do not attend Church any longer. Do not misunderstand me; I believe the Gospel and I am a Christian, I have been for 26 years. But I feel that in this day of apostasy, that it is impossible to find a Church that is truly preaching the Word of God or to find a Pastor that does not insert himself into that preaching. Further more, I happen to know that most Pastors do not live what they preach. There are those that do. But the good majority do not.

Movie: The Cream Farewell Concert – 1968

Posted on

Seeing that I am not interesting in writing about the Healthcare debacle or whether some child molesting Jew is brought to justice or not; or interested in blogging about how some whack jobs are praying to President Obama or not.

I figure I will post a video. This is Robert Stigwood’s Movie, that was released in 1977. It is a Movie about the Farewell concert of the rock group Cream. This is one of my favorite groups.

Enjoy.

Andy Williams tells it like it is

Posted on

I have to admit; I like ol’ Andy Williams:

Williams, a lifelong Republican whose hits include Moon River and Music To Watch Girls By, told the Radio Times he thought Mr Obama wanted to turn the US into a “socialist country”.

Andy Willaims

The 81-year-old was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

“I was very close to Bobby and he asked me to be a delegate for him when he ran for president,” he said.

“He knew about me being a Republican, but just laughed and said, ‘Sign yourself in as a Democrat and then change back afterwards’. Sadly, I never got to do that.

“I was very close to Teddy Kennedy, too, and his death recently brought it all back. What a tragedy. Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president.”

But Williams had a less favourable opinion of the current president.

“Don’t like him at all,” he said, “I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist.

“Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail

via Andy Williams accuses Barack Obama of following Marxist theory – Telegraph.

I give Andy Williams credit; He has been around many a Democrat in his day; and he knows a damn Saul Alinsky socialist type, when he sees one. At this point in Andy’s career, he can say what he wishes and will not suffer for it. Saying this, however, will not endure him to the Hollywood crowd and he will most likely face scorn for it. But I give the man credit; Andy Williams sees what Obama is all about, and I think that is a good thing. Now if we could just get the rest of America to see what Andy and I see; then we would be getting somewhere.

Andy Williams is not the only Hollywood Conservative out there; there are many, in fact; there were a group of them in Hollywood. They were meeting and calling themselves the “Friends of Abe”. The list of Conservative Hollywood Stars is astounding; It includes: Mel Gibson, Tom Selleck, James Woods, Patricia Heaton, Andy Garcia, Gary Sinise, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Chuck Norris, LL Cool J, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, Dennis Miller, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, Catherine Bell, Danny Aiello, James Earl Jones, Ron Silver, Kelsey Grammer, Morgan Brittany, Ben Stein, Pat Boone, Kathy Ireland, Rick Schroeder and Bo Derek.

So, to say that Andy is alone is a fallacy. There are Hollywood actors that still love America. It is a pity that there is not more of them. I believe persecuting Hollywood stars for their political views is akin to McCarthyism. It should be outlawed and those who do it brought before Congress and forced to held accountable for their actions.  To blacklist someone for their political views is treasonous; it was when Senator McCarthy did it and it still is now.

May God Bless these Hollywood actors who dare to stand for something, that is morally right.

A must read for all Conservatives and, Yes, Blacks too!

Posted on

I read this article, and the first thing I thought was, “I wish there were about couple hundred more of him!”

The rules set by the Left are extremely clear. Racist images of black conservatives and negative images of Bush are fair game. Even a play about murdering President Bush was called “harmless art”. Meanwhile, all unflattering images of Obama are racist, and constitute dangerous, potentially violent hate speech.

New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called Congressman Joe Wilson a racist for saying, “You lie” to president Obama. Using her psychic powers, Dowd said Wilson was really saying in his mind, “You lie, BOY!” And yet, liberal commentator Julianne Malveaux, saying she hopes black conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife “feeds him a lot of fatty foods so he will die early from heart disease like many black men”, was not considered racist. I am a black conservative singer, songwriter, entertainer and columnist. Liberals have posted comments all over YouTube and C-SPAN freely using and calling me the “N” word. Because they are libs and I am an uppity, off the liberal plantation, run-away black, all tactics to restore me to my owners are acceptable.

Here is another example of the Left setting the rules. “Take Back America!” is now on their list of racist terms we protesters are not allowed to use. Again using their psychic powers, the Left claims the protesters are really saying, “Because the president is black, lets take America back”! This is totally absurd. “Take Back America” refers to the hijacking of our freedoms, liberty and culture by an out of control administration.

via American Thinker: Stop Allowing The Left To Set The Rules.

Lloyd Marcus is throwing down the gauntlet and letting the Liberals know, that they’re on notice. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone read this one. WOW! 😮

Let me be clear, This is NOT cool at all Poll Yanked, Secret Service Investigating

Posted on

(H/T Allen Colmes)

Some idiot tool has put up on facebook; a poll asking if the President should be killed or not.

If you have a facebook account; head on over and click on the “report” button.

If course, Colmes and the people over that the blog linked are trying to blame everyone on the right for the actions of this idiot. This of course, is collectivism and quite stupid.

I do hope, however, that the idiot that did this, is reported the secret service and ends up spending quality time in prison.

Update: AP Reports:

WASHINGTON—The U.S. Secret Service is investigating an online survey that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated, officials said Monday.

“We’re working with the U.S. Secret Service, but they’ll need to provide any details of their investigation,” Schnitt said.

Because the application was disabled, the responses to the nonscientific polls are not available.

“The third-party application that enabled an individual user to create the offensive poll was brought to our attention this morning,” said Barry Schnitt, Facebook’s spokesman for policy.

The question was not created by Facebook, but by an independent person using an add-on application that has been suspended from the site.

The poll asked respondents “Should Obama be killed?” The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.

The poll, posted Saturday on Facebook, was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence. But, like any threat against the president, Secret Service agents are taking no chances.

“We are aware of it and we will take the appropriate investigative steps,” said Darrin Blackford, a Secret Service spokesman. “We take of these things seriously.”

Good. I hope that they catch this idiot and put him UNDER the damn jail. Anyone that does something like this; does not deserve to be free! It is one thing to dislike the President’s policies. But to wish death on someone; is just fucking wrong. Good on facebook for their cooperation and the Secret Service for their prompt action!
