It is 4:00am and I cannot sleep. I went to bed earlier, I was just wiped out; ate a big meal and got the old heavy eye thing going on; happens to me all the time. On a bit of no-so-pleasant note: I woke up at 2:30 feeling like I had half of my supper coming up into my throat. It was nasty! A good bottle of water and I am much better now.
On a good note, this might help me out a bit, and I say might, because my sleeping habits as of late, have been totally jacked up. Anyhow, I am up early and in a bit of a mood to write. Yesterday was just not good. I had a bit of headache, and I just was not in the mood for politics, much less anything else. I get like that, this whole thing gets to be a bit mundane at times; and I just have to push it away for a few days.
Blogger Happenings
As you can most likely tell; No, I did not go to BlogCon that is being held up in Washington D.C. For one, I am not a big fan of Dick Army; furthermore, I am not a big fan of the “Beltway” or the “Beltway Crowd.” I will be the first to admit to you, that there were some bloggers there, that I am just not a big fan of, at all. One in particular is a GOP operative, although, he likes to deny this, at all time. This same moronic jackass; outright accused me of being a racist bigot on his blog; and then not long after that, made a rather unfunny “Osama Obama” reference on his own blog. He promptly removed it, when I and several other bloggers complained about it. Robert Stacy McCain has a video of the jackass, if you really can stomach looking at the hypocritical asshole. Personally, I would not want to be in the same room with that asshole.
There is another blogger up there, who I am not a big fan of; she is referenced in that link. I never liked her. She publishes like 10 million photos of herself on that blog of hers. I mean, I have heard of being narcissistic and all — but good grief. One would assume that if she actually had something to be narcissistic about; I would understand that. However, she seems to be lacking in that area. I mean, if you like looking at pictures of fatty beached whales, more power to you, I suppose. (Yes, I can do Ann Coulter snark too. I tend a bit harsher about it than Ann does though.)
I also see that despite not having a car; Robert Stacy McCain found a way up to the BlogCon event, despite the fact that the harpies who put on that event refused to invite him. I think I know why. You see, a while back, I laid the smack down on two far-right wing zealots, who felt the need to attack Megan McCain. Well, in the process of doing this, I went a bit overboard. I did apologize, which was not good enough for the Semite-Baiting, Identity Politics trafficking crowd. Having said that, these traffickers engage in what could be called McCarthy or Nazi-style tactics of intimidating other bloggers into not linking to me. So far, Robert Stacy McCain has not given in to their demands that I am banished from the Conservative movement and be put on terminal ignore. However, the lack of invite from the BlogCon group was somewhat obvious to me, as to why that happened. These people have some serious power and influence in the Blogosphere. If you do not cave to their demands, they will destroy you. They have gotten to a few bloggers that I actually do speak with; the not answering of e-mails was obvious that I was on blackout in the Blogosphere.
None of this really matters to me one lousy iota. I did not get into this game to have to kiss up to anyone. The original reason I began blogging was that I was angry with George W. Bush and the blatant incompetent handling of the Iraq War back in 2006. Yes, I started in this game; as angry “Left of Center,” although I will admit that the far left totally turned me off. As time when on, and as I continued to blog; I found myself disagreeing with more and more of the far left and even the not so far left as well; especially when it came to the Military. It was during this time also, that my blog was hacked. I did start this blog, shortly afterward. Finally, during the primary, I just decided that enough was enough; and during the general election, I voted Libertarian.
I will be very honest with you all. I am not am not a Republican; I will most likely never be. I find the majority of the people that hang in those circles to be arrogant people, especially the beltway crowd. I have little or nothing in common with them. Robert Stacy McCain is a very rare exception to that rule. I find their attitudes towards blacks to be disgusting. I saw a perfect example of that on the O’Reilly Factor on Fox News last night. The completely condescending attitude towards the representative for the NAACP was vomit provoking at best. Bill O’Reilly and that shrieking harpy Laura Ingraham both said that the NAACP has double standard, when it comes to race. Newsflash Mr. O’Reilly and Miss Ingraham —- Just in case you forgot white people in America and yes, in England as well, used blacks as slaves! I think that might just give them the right to be a bit biased against white people. I dislike identity politics just as much as the next person does. However, that display on Fox News last night burned my ass. I say this, not as some white person of grew up in the rich, white, Suburbs; but as someone who grew up in southwest Detroit. I also say this as someone who grew up in a middle class family as well —- someone who grew up around whites, blacks, Latinos, and every other sort of race.
This is why I feel a bit uncomfortable being associated with the whole “Angry Rich White Crowd.” I do not fit that damned mold at all. I might be a white person; but I am nowhere near being “rich” or even having a lot of money. Neither am I angry with Obama for being a black President. I do not agree with all of his polices; but the disagreement with me, has never been about racism. Sadly, it is with the majority of those on the far right. Oh, they nuance it to death, and dodge and spin it. However, it is there; I see the postings on Facebook and it sickens me to my core.
On the Koran burning
I think that the idiot who was planning on this; is not a Christian; at least not in sense that I believe Christians to be. I also believe that Fred Phelps and his cult ought be rounded up and jailed. I am all for freedom of speech; but when your speech or actions incites people to commit acts of violence towards our Military, I believe that is where your freedom ends.
On “Don’t ask, Don’t tell”
I believe that this overruling is a good thing. I believe someone sexual preference is no one’s business. I fear Muslims in the Military more than I would homosexuals. I do not believe that Homosexuals would want to kill fellow Military personnel; which is more than I can say for the Muslims at this point.
On Palin’s Endorsement on O’Donnell
I do not much care for Palin; however, this might have been a good move. The Republican Party needs to get the crooks, phonies, and warmongers out of that party. If Sarah Palin can help do that, I am all for it. Of course, some who believe that Sarah Palin is a part of that warmongering class.
