Once again, this blog is ignored

Posted on1 Comment

John Hawkings picks his favorite blogs.

Once again, I get ignored.

Perhaps it is because I told one of his “employees” that she was a stupid bitch that was stuck on herself. Which, in fact, is very true. Not to mention her supposed “Christianity,”  just annoyed the hell out of me. This was long before she ever went to work for Hawkings.

I also ended up leaving Hawkings Conservative Ad Hive; because of his asshole-like treatment of David Frum. (Although, I still am on the Ad Hive’s rss feed in that ad, that BlogAds created; which serves no real purpose at all…)  The man is just hateful towards those who disagree with him. I have thought about raising a royal stink with BlogAds about Hawkings being the owner of that Hive; because of his being snobbish with the Administration of the Hive. I think it shows that John Hawkings is not mature enough for that sort of a thing.

Anyway, I really do not worry about being listed on a list of popular blogs; as I really do not feel that I need the traffic, at least not from him. He used to link to me all the time; until he hired the unnamed blond bimbo. Not that it really honestly matters. I have done well here, traffic-wise without him and his rather lame army of followers.

Eh, Fark ’em. I do not care. I’ve done well without them; and will continue to do so. Without being part of the elitist click of snob Bloggers.

Video: (Via TPM)

Be Sure and watch the ENTIRE clip before you holler at me. Well, at least from where I started it, till it ends. Again, it’s not looking good for O’Donnell — at all. 🙁

The Story:


Here’s another wonderful gem from Christine O’Donnell’s past as a frequent guest on TV shows. Back in 1996, when then-Speaker Newt Gingrich’s finances were being investigated, O’Donnell complained that people were on a witch hunt to find anything to get Gingrich, instead of paying attention to serious ethics scandals — like putting Bill Clinton on trial for the supposed murder of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster.

Back in the 1990s, a favorite right-wing conspiracy theory was the accusation that the Clintons had arranged the murder of Foster, a former law partner of Hillary Clinton, in the midst of the Whitewater investigations. Multiple investigations, including the work of Clinton-hunting independent counsel Kenneth Starr, have all concluded that Foster committed suicide. However, O’Donnell was squarely in the conspiracy camp back then.

That is not the half of it. There is this here and here.

I hate to be the one to sound like a Eeyore. But the more I am hearing about this young lady; the more I am truly beginning to believe that she might just be a bit too extreme; and might just be damaged goods and may just not end up winning. I know that there those who are trying their damnedest to defend her, and man I give them props. But this just might end up being a lost damned cause.

I am not saying were should throw in the towel on her. But we should, just as Karl Rove and others have said; be real about this and not get too overly expectant of a landslide —- especially in Delaware. Like I wrote before, I am not saying she cannot do it. However, I do not think it would be unreasonable to be a bit realistic about this and expect the left to flush her out; which, as you can see, they are already doing.

It, it’s, just too bad man. I thought she might have been the golden girl. 🙁 Turns out, she is more of a ugly duckling. 🙄

UPDATE: Daniel Foster over at NRO’s “The Corner” Blog points out something rather important.

A little housekeeping note

Posted on

You might have noticed some changes around the place.

I’ve removed that Ad in the left sidebar. Because, at times, it was displaying the same ad as the one at the very top of the blog. Also, I moved the ad that was at the very top, above ever thing down above the ad for the Amazon bookstore. This is because that ad way up there, to me, was a distraction from the site. I did not like it there; but it did seem to bring some clicks.

The idea folks is this; I know there are people that come here, who hate the ads; I get that okay? I do want to make a little money on this blog. However, I do know how it feels to go to a blog or website and it be filled to the brim with ads — so much that it makes one want to close the browser in disgust. I am also going to give some of them ads in the left column some time and if they do not start making a profit; I will be canning those too. I believe in free market principles; and if an ad is not bringing any sort of a profit, I just will not sit and force my viewers to look at something that is not bringing a profit.

Anyhow, hope you like the changes.

Your Host,

-Pat

Karl Rove: Hey, I am just doing my job

Posted on6 Comments

I have to give Rove credit were credit is properly due; He is just doing this job and telling the truth about Christine O’Donnell‘s chances of winning: (H/T TPM)

Initially, I called Rove an asshole for his comments about Christine O’Donnell; however, after watching this clip, I see the man was just doing his job and as Rove and Bill O’Reilly pointed out; she does have some things that she has to explain and not in the Barack Obama style of “Oh, just go to my website, it is explained there.” kind of responses. Also, she refused to appear on Bill O’Reilly’s show. I am sorry; but that points to weakness. If she cannot face Bill O’Reilly, how can she face the battles that will face her, when she gets to congress. Bill O’Reilly does not pander, and he asks the hard questions. So, if she won’t go on his show, the maybe she has no business being in Congress. Sorry, but that is how I feel about that.

Further more, it is not lost on me, that there is a bit of that gender entitlement working here. (Proof of that, right here.) There are those that believe that Christine O’Donnell should be elected, just because she is a Conservative and happens to be a woman. However, I feel like Rush Limbaugh; let’s give her a chance and see what happens. If she loses, she loses; what did we lose, if she doesn’t get elected? We cannot do any worse, than we are doing right now.

Gender Entitlement Propaganda

This is just awful.

“We’re Women and we’re going to rule the Nation; because we’re women!” “Girl Power!”

Ugh. Enough to make me want to vomit.

Fire From The Heartland from Citizens United on Vimeo.

Progressivism is invading the Republican Party and quite frankly, it makes me sick.

Whatever happened to the days, when women stayed home, raised their children and tended to their families?

This is a form of identity politics; the female being the identity, of course. Which is, of course, something that the Democrats invented. Which reaffirms my believe that Neo-Conservatives, like the one’s shown here; are nothing more than Democrats in Republican skin.

Sad part is, they actually tricked Phyllis Schlafly into appearing in this video. I highly doubt that she is endorsing of such liberalism. If she is, I will really have rethink my support of her.

Let me be very blunt; when women begin leading a Country and a movement or political party that is supposed to be the representative of Conservative Christian values and that movement or political party is lead by women, then the Country is deep, deep spiritual peril. This is a perfect representative of that.

The Bible says, very plainly:

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (1 Timothy 2:12 KJV)

Further more, the Bible speaks of a woman’s role in society:

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. (1 Corinthians 11:9 KJV)

and…

Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. (1 Corinthians 7:3-6 KJV)

…and there you have it. The proper role of a woman in society, according to the Bible. It is not in the political arena, that is for sure.

Sarah Palin and the rest of these women might be doing good for the Republican Party. However, they are sinning against the very God, that most, if not all of them, claim to represent.

You ask, why is all this happening? It is part of, I am afraid; the apostasy that is fully upon us:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-7 KJV)

However, there is hope for us that know the truth:

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2 Timothy 3:9-17 KJV)

For what it is worth, this earth is not my home. I have a reunion meeting to attend and it will happen; one day, see here:


For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV)

That is what I and many others like me, look forward to. Politics is just something I write about; it is not who I am. This above, is who I am.

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. (Revelation 22:20 KJV)

Amen.

Quote of the Day

With friends like that in the GOP, I need no other enemies. As I recently commented on Pajamas Media TV with Stephen Kruiser, the Old Guard may be an albatross as we get into the general election, but the last thing I expected was to have the GOP throw my campaign for the sake of multi-millionaire Democrat Jane Harman. Call me naïve, but I thought the GOP was interested in gaining the House in 2010 with as many seats as possible.

Is that what you want, GOP? Then embrace “unconventional” candidates with a little bit more than slapping their picture up on the GOP website. Provide mentoring, guidance, assistance, information, and data. The GOP isn’t necessarily obligated to financially assist all candidates, but they do have a duty not to work against their own.

While I am pleased the NRSC finally came forth to assist O’Donnell, their initial rebuff the night before was typical and disgusting.

Women represent over half of the electorate. We have much more to offer the party than bringing self-funded millions of dollars or attain attention due to marriages to high-level Republican men.

Our campaign will not be deterred by the snakes in the grass within the party. Or those like Rove that pontificate on what he believes the voters want. We continue to forge ahead.

And a final note to Kevin McCarthy: A majority is one woman with chutzpah.

Patterico makes a pretty fair point, BUT!

Posted on

I hate to say it; but when the guy makes sense, the guy makes sense:

And make no mistake: voters probably handed a Senate seat to Democrats last night. Castle voters were polled and said they prefer the Democrat 2-1 over O’Donnell. It’s not impossible for her to win if the stars align just right. But wishing upon the stars works in the movies; in real life, not so much.

After O’Donnell’s victory, Sarah Palin issued a call for “unity” among Republicans. I fully support this and support candidate O’Donnell. She has deep flaws, but I’d rather see my flawed candidate in the Senate than the other side’s flawed candidate.

However, I can tell you that Palin’s “unity” directive is going to be hard to implement.

Part of the problem is the Republican establishment, which let slip the fact that they do not intend to give O’Donnell a cent to pursue her quixotic ambitions. The decision not to fund her mostly hopeless candidacy is defensible. The decision to announce that decision on election night is unforgivable.

If O’Donnell loses — I’m thinking “when” but saying “if” for the sake of our “unity” — Tea Partiers will not look for blame in the mirror. Establishment Republicans have given them a ready-made scapegoat, and they will flog it all the way to 2012.

Another part of the problem lies in the insufferable gloating of O’Donnell supporters over what was a fairly predictable primary victory. It does not foster “unity” to declare that O’Donnell beat “Mike Castle, Allahpundit, Charles Krauthammer, and Jim Geraghty.” It does not foster “unity” to label Paul Mirengoff a “loser” who needs to wear a dress for noting the obvious obstacles O’Donnell faces. If Twitter is any reflection of the mood among conservatives, I saw civil war last night. The Levin acolytes going around mimicking his name-calling behavior are hardly seeking “unity.”

With all their toldya so’s, you’d think these people had won the general election instead of handing it to the opposition.

If Sarah Palin truly seeks “unity,” at some point she is going to need to rein these people in.

Indeed, Patterico makes a good point. However, there is another side to this story; which I want to share with you all.

I was talking in private with Dan Riehl and I mentioned that I live here in the Detroit, Michigan area. Quite bluntly folks; The Democratic Party’s socialist policies; have screwed this area straight to hell.  30% Unemployment just in the city of Detroit. 30% —- that is a whole bunch of people out of work! In the proper CITY alone! Let’s not even get into the percentage of people that are unemployed here in the suburbs! Believe you me; it is a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more, than you might think! That is not even mentioning the people that are, what is referred to as underemployed — or not making enough to even making their bills. Like family members of mine, who are just barely getting by.  We need a business-friendly political climate in Washington DC, not to mention in Michigan — so that Business owners can start putting people back to work — with jobs, real jobs, where people; like those in my family with houses, and children and bills — can make a decent living again.  (…and If *I* happen to score a job too, all the better, this writing and not getting paid is getting a bit old!)

Here is my point: O’Donnell might be a little nutty; she might have been a little dishonest in the past. However, if she can win this election; and makes it to DC and can reverse course on this damned socialist nightmare that we have upon us; especially here in Michigan — then damn it, I am ALL for it!

Here is my other point: Our Nation and the state of Michigan is in a serious crisis; we need real Republican ideals to get this nation back to work. Not RINO, Democratic Party lite stupidity. That sort of crap might have worked by in the days of prosperity; but let me be the one to “wee wee” on the RINO Parade —- That party is over folks, that ship sailed long ago and it is time to get back to our principles of Conservative values. If the Republican Party and the Conservative establishment does not do this; the Republican Party will die and the Nation; as we know it now, might just die with it — and in the end, we will be handing the socialists the victory they so very much desire in the end.

Now as for O’Donnell’s supposed dishonesty… here she is defending herself against the smears: (H/T HotAir)

I think she will be alright. Everyone just needs to give her a chance. Especially the Conservative establishment.

As Always: In Politics it is Washington versus The Country

I am, of course, referring to the victory of Christine O’Donnell over Neo-Con RINO Mike Castle. Which happens to be the biggest news story today. This victory has caused the Republican Party to go into meltdown mode; and to expose people like Karl Rove as carnival barkers for the GOP establishment.  Here is Rush Limbaugh’s take on what happened last night and on Rove’s asinine behavior. Needless to say, ElRushBo is not a happy camper: (H/T The Right Scoop)

Speaking of not being a happy camper; My friend Ed Morrissey lays the smack down on the Republican establishment with one of the most harsh scathing posts that I have EVER seen out of him, since I began blogger many, many moons ago!:

My advice to the GOP would be to quit whining about losing a long-shot bid to win control of the Senate and focus on actually winning the races. In fact, the odds of winning control of the upper chamber didn’t actually decline all that much, because they were small to begin with. Just a few days ago, John Cornyn told a reporter that Democrats would keep control of the Senate through 2012, when Democrats have to defend a lot more seats than the GOP.

The better question on which to focus is in Martin’s second paragraph. What does Mike Castle’s crash and burn among Delaware Republicans say about their party organization? After all, we have heard oodles of commentary about how Delaware Republicans are moderates who might get energized by the Tea Party but supposedly aren’t looking for conservative candidates. Instead, they convinced Castle to leave a relatively safe House seat instead of looking for someone who hadn’t backed a government takeover of the energy sector in cap-and-trade (in a coal-dependent region!) and co-sponsored the DISCLOSE Act. Perhaps had the GOP establishment listened a little more carefully to Delaware Republicans, who turned out relatively heavily in this election, they wouldn’t find themselves crying in their lattes this morning.

They stuck with a liberal, establishment candidate in a cycle where liberals and establishment figures are uniquely unpopular. Had the Republican leadership been in touch with Delaware Republican voters, they might have found a more suitable candidate for the popular mood, and would not have had to deal with Christine O’Donnell and her outsider bid. They have no one to blame but themselves.

Instead of pouting, Republican leaders in Delaware and around the country need to unite around the nominee, who was chosen by the Republicans in Delaware. Had Castle won the nomination, they would have demanded unity themselves, and rightly so. If they want to continue to issue snarky, anonymous asides and in essence take their ball and go home, don’t expect the electorate to follow them into battle in the future. Rarely have I seen such childishness from the supposed leaders of a political establishment, who set the very rules and customs they now want to ignore because they just got embarrassed on a national stage.

Grow up, shut up, and get to work.

I hated to quote all of that; but I wanted to give you a good flavor of what is happening right now in the Conservative grassroots as opposed to the Republican establishment. Karl Rove shot his mouth off, and now he has over half of the Conservative world angry with him. I look for Karl Rove to most likely disappear for a while. But then again, those establishment types never really go away. They just sit and wait for the chance to pounce on something new. Just ask Dick Army; another person that I just do not like.

Now for the six thousand dollar question; do I think Christine O’Donnell can pull the election off in November? Well, as President Barack Obama said in the election of 2008 —- Hope!

I am SO happy to see this happen.

I am referring to the ass-handing that took place just now. I am referring to the victory of Christine O’Donnell over Mike Castle. I have kept silent about this; because, honestly, I did not think she could pull it off. However, she did. I could not be happier. Yes, Sarah Palin is to credited for this. Thank You Governor! 😀

I am listening to Karl Rove; he is literally spinning like a damned top. The Neo-Conservatives are worried and are in panic mode.

Message from Rick Snyder Republican Candidate for Michigan Governor

Posted on

This popped into my e-mail inbox this morning…. :


Dear Supporters,

Last night I held my 59th town hall meeting in Westland. My opponent showed up so I invited him to take part in the event. I’m happy he was able to attend; it was a good opportunity to discuss the issues important to Michigan.

This is what democracy is all about – real people asking tough questions and getting straight answers – not scripted, 30-second sound bites. I plan to keep holding these town hall meetings until Election Day to talk about my 10-Point Plan to Reinvent Michigan so voters can hear directly from me about my positive vision to create more and better jobs.

We are now only 49 days away from Election Day and need your help to add to our momentum. Please consider donating to our campaign. Your contributions go directly to spreading our positive message and bring us closer to our goal of reinventing our great state.

I am grateful for your continued support. Together we will succeed in Reinventing Michigan.

Regards,

The truth is folks, we need new ideas and much better leadership to bring back jobs here in Michigan. The Democrats have utterly failed here in the State of Michigan. I personally have been affected by this whole mess; I have been out of work since 2005. It is a depressing mess around here and it is sad to see a State and a big city, like Detroit, to go in ruins; because of the socialist stupidity of the Democrats. Not to mention the idiotic actions of globalists who sold Detroit up the river. We can turn that around; but Democrats are not going to be the ones to do that. We need a friendly business climate here, so that jobs can return to this once great State and the once great city of Detroit. Would you believe it, if I told you that Detroit’s unemployment rate is a 30%? That is just in Detroit alone. Not counting the suburbs. The truth is that Democratic Party Socialism has RUINED this great State and the city of Detroit. It is time to start over from scratch and rebuilt. Rick Snyder and the Republicans in Michigan can will do that. But they need your help; the Democrats are funded much better the Republicans here in Michigan. So, if you can… Give, help put Michigan and more importantly, Detroit, Michigan back on the map in America.

So, you know what that means:

SUPPORT RICK SNYDER FOR GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN!

Stock and Gold Advice: Gold forms Overbought Rising Wedge at Resistance

Posted on

Please note, this is a sponsored posting…

—————————-

(via The Gold and Oil Guy)

Sunday Sept 12
Precious metals soar as investors flock to gold and silver. But are they looking deep enough to truly understand the current trends at hand?

When reviewing the metals sector I like to look at it from different angles to get a solid understanding of the patterns and trend forming. I follow multiple time frames along with monitoring the gold mining stocks. Gold stocks tend to lead the price of gold bullion and when its out performing the price of gold substantially by 10% or more you should be expecting a pause or pullback in both gold stocks and gold bullion prices temporarily.

Below are a few charts showing the long and short term trends for gold.

Gold Bullion Price – Weekly Trend Chart

Gold continues to be in a strong up trend. The occasional test of support at the major moving averages can provide great long term points for adding to a position. The 50 period average is one which is tested frequently.

Looking at the weekly chart does give me a red flag for the intermediate price of gold. While the trend is clearly up I can’t help but notice the rising wedge which is a bearish pattern. During an uptrend we want to see bull flags and pennants, not a grind higher forming a narrowing range. This grind higher could unfold much similar to the price action of 2005 and 2007 instead of a correction but I am leaning more towards a sharp correction because more people are bullish on gold now then they were during the June top.

For those looking at gold as a long term investment/currency can be patient and wait for a pullback to a major moving average before adding to your position then you would lower your overall risk for this position. You will understand after reviewing the following charts.

GLD – Gold Bullion ETF – Daily Chart

(This fund moves identical to spot gold price so even though I am showing you GLD fund, the spot gold chart is doing the exact same thing.) As you can see below the price of gold is trading at resistance and becoming choppy. Buying gold at resistance does not make much sense to me. There is a very good chance gold will move lower in the coming weeks providing a better price for long term investors to add to their positions. For example, if you waited for the weekly chart to pullback to the 50 period moving average that would be like buying this GLD fund at $113, which is an 8% discount.

Gold continues to hold up within its channel but this week we could see fireworks if the price breaks below the blue support channels.

Gold:Gold Stocks Comparison – Daily Chart

This chart shows the performance of gold vs gold stocks from the Feb 2010 lows. The blue line is the performance of gold stocks while the red line shows gold’s performance. It’s obvious that when everyone is bullish on gold they buy the highly leverages gold investments in order to take full advantage of the upcoming move. This is much like reading the put/call ratio for trading the SP500 and it measures the bullishness of the precious metals sector.

When gold equities are strongly out performing gold bullion you should be thinking about raising your stops, taking partial profits and or hedging your long term position until the sector stabilizes is not trading at a premium.

Precious Metals Sector Trading Conclusion:

In short, Gold is in a strong up trend and will remain in one for a long time. Commodities have higher percentage of going parabolic. That means there’s a small chance that gold continues to move up quicker and quicker surging hundreds of dollars in a very short period of time. That being said, it’s not very likely, and from a technical point of view those buying gold now are paying a premium in my opinion.

Being a patient trader is not easy, but waiting for low risk entry points is very rewarding on many different levels when done correctly.

The feckless Far-Right Exhibit WTF for…You know

Posted on3 Comments

Whoa… Now I am all for Conservative purity and all that. But, this just goes a wee bit over the line. 😯

As much as I hate to have to link to these guys…. Via the Huffington Post:

The chairman of the Delaware Republican Party received a death threat last week over his support for Rep. Mike Castle (R-Del) over Tea Party challenger Christine O’Donnell in the state’s upcoming Senate primary, a party official confirmed to the Huffington Post.

The threat, issued in the form of an email, told chairman Tom Ross that he deserves “a bullet in the head” for backing “political ass-kissing RINO’s” [Republicans in name only].

“It is one thing to have your country screwed over by socialists, it is far worse to be backstabbed by people pretending to be your friends,” the email read. “We will either rid the GOP of pieces of shit like you, or we will start a new ‘Common Sense Conservative’ party and render you all useless.”

The threat was serious enough to compel Ross to leave his home, temporarily, and to spur an investigation from the Department of Justice said the official with the Delaware GOP (a DoJ official did not immediately return a request for comment). It also was sinister enough to alarm state party officials who are unaccustomed to not just threats of violence but even to heated political contests like the one unfolding in the state’s Republican primary.

“It is just scary what is going on right now,” the official said. “Tom is a loyal and dedicated Republican officer in Delaware… the position is unpaid and his job as party chairman is to defend and promote the candidates… It is disgusting, it is amazing and it has no place in our democracy.”

The really, really, really stupid part? THIS:

The identity of the emailer was not immediately known, though the official said that the person “wrote his name and address” on the note — providing obvious information for authorities to use.

WOW. 😯 😮 not only is this a guy right wing extremist…. he ain’t very bright either. 🙄 😆 😀 😛

I mean, I literally sat here and laughed hard about that last quoted bit there. I mean, it’s like, “I’m gonna shoot you in the head, screw your wife and eat your babies —- and I live at this address right here, now please, come and arrest me.” 😆 😀 😉

I guess it is true what they say; criminals are not the brightest bulbs in the box.

Libby Spencer should talk

Posted on

I find it amazing the things that I find when I look at liberal blogs.

Libby Spencer writes about the Tea Party Gathering:

Apparently Freedom Works staged another rally in DC this weekend. The crowd appears to be the usual mix of bussed in birthers, other assorted “ers”, gun nuts and old overweight white people. Their numbers are shrinking but they’re making up for it by hollering louder.

Libby Spencer’s picture:

Libby Spencer - Overweight old person

….and you were saying Libby?

Those who live in glasses houses, ought not throw stones.

Oh, and as for me? Yes, I am fat, and I know it. You don’t see me going around mocking people because of their weight and age. However, because Spencer is a part of that enlightened liberal sect. She is given a free pass to mock those, of whom she disagrees with politically. Which is proof of the fact that when liberals have nothing of substance to argue with; you know, like facts? They resort to this sort of school yard childish tripe. Which means, they are losing and they know it. It reeks of classic desperation by the left.

The ironic thing is, I actually tried to help this woman once, after she found herself in a tight spot. I also notice that I mistakenly thought she was from Michigan; that was a very regrettable error.  Perhaps next time, I will be a bit more careful when doing such stuff. Maybe she believes she is entitled to such idiocy — because she is a woman. 🙄

You see now, why I will not vote Democrat ever again?

Nativism, Conservatives, Bloggers, and Me

Posted on

I feel the need to address something this morning that left me in a bit of foul mood last night.  It appears that I have finally found an issue that I just cannot reconcile, that is happening among the “Go along to get along” Conservative crowd.  Robert Stacy McCain, who is, as he put it, “A Neo-Con, Paleo-Con hybrid,” attended the 9/12 rally in Washington D.C.  I really did not cover it much, because frankly, the whole Tea Party rally idea has grown rather stale with me.  This is because the so-called tea party movement was co-opted by the Republican establishment and by those who are the protectors of the warmonger class.

Nativism is a term that the leftist media puts on people like me. I personally like to be called an American.  An American who is watching the America I grew up in slip away.  I am also an American who resents those of foreign birth dictating to me, as an American, about how bad my Country is or how horrible our Government leadership is.

Once such case of this happening, was yesterday at this so-called 9/12 rally in Washington D.C.  A man by name of Tito Muñoz, also known as “Tito the Builder” who is a Colombian immigrant and supposedly a United States citizen; came to this rally as a speaker.  Muñoz came to the lectern and proceeded to assail the crowd verbally as to how bad the leadership is in Washington D.C. and how the socialist Government is destroying the foundations of which the Nation was founded upon and so on.  Here is my big problem with Mr. Tito Muñoz; I do not believe for one second that he is a United States Citizen, nor do I believe him to be here legally.

You ask why I would make such an accusation.  Because at one time, Muñoz and I were friends on facebook and after watching his postings on about how America was under attack; I took him to task on the subject of citizenship and ask him to post proof that he was a United States citizen, or at least to post his immigration papers.  Admittedly, I did mistake the man for a Mexican; I mean — it is hard to tell them apart.  However, what followed was my confirmation that Mr. Muñoz is nothing more than a petty phony, which is doing nothing more than milking the spotlight for all it is worth.  Mr. Tito Muñoz launched into a four-letter tirade against me; calling me a racist bigot, a Klansman, and a few other choice four-letter words that I shall not reprint here.  All because I requested that Mr. Muñoz prove that was a legal immigrant and a Citizen of this Country.

Besides all of the above, this is where I separate myself from the “go along to get along” Conservative crowd.  I, as a citizen of the United States of America; someone who was actually born in this Country — resent the fact that some man, of foreign born origin, coming to rally of this nature and assailing a crowd verbally by telling it, just how horrible our Country is.  Perhaps Mr. Tito Muñoz might want to remember that it was the progressives who came up with the idea, that if America did not open its borders to those who foreign birth, that our Country would somehow eventually cease to exist.  Someone might to remind Mr. Tito Muñoz that if it were not for this fact; that Mr. Muñoz would likely be picking coffee beans in his home country of Colombia to make a living; or more than likely in Muñoz’s case — would be picking coca plants.  If it were left to Conservatives, like me, Muñoz would be doing that this very day — instead of running a construction company, which was, more than likely funded by taxpayers, like me, through funding grants available to minorities; which were created by the very progressives that Mr. Muñoz rails on as horrifically evil.  Funding, by the way, that is not available to native-born Americas (or white Americans) like me.

Hate, you say.

Not Hardly.

It is called reality.

Pat Buchanan said it right.  We white Christian Americans are becoming a minority in our own damned Country.  Do you honestly believe that 50 years ago a Colombian immigrant would be lecturing white Americans on just how horribly bad our Country is?  I hardly think so. This is the result of progressives and these so-called Conservatives just accept it as normal.  My question is, since when is that normal?  Since when do Conservatives sit and allow a Colombian-born immigrant, of whom immigrant status is questionable at best — sit and lecture them on the condition of their Country?  Since when is that normal and acceptable?

Hate you call it — tell that to those in South Africa.  Because that is, what the United States is becoming — day by day, little by little.  The sick part is, the so-called Conservatives in America are aiding and abetting in that transformation.  That is what sickens me to my damn core.

UPDATED: I hate to say it: Nicholas Kristof makes a very good point

Posted on2 Comments

Rarely do I ever concede a point to a liberal. However, in this case; it is fair to do so.

This morning Nicholas Kristof writes in the New York Times, about the Mosque Controversy:

For a glimpse of how venomous and debased the discourse about Islam has become, consider a blog post in The New Republic this month. Written by Martin Peretz, the magazine’s editor in chief, it asserted: “Frankly, Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims.”

Mr. Peretz added: “I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment, which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.”

Thus a prominent American commentator, in a magazine long associated with tolerance, ponders whether Muslims should be afforded constitutional freedoms. Is it possible to imagine the same kind of casual slur tossed off about blacks or Jews? How do America’s nearly seven million American Muslims feel when their faith is denounced as barbaric?

This is one of those times that test our values, a bit like the shameful interning of Japanese-Americans during World War II, or the disgraceful refusal to accept Jewish refugees from Nazi Europe.

It would have been natural for this test to have come right after 9/11, but it was forestalled because President George W. Bush pushed back at his conservative ranks and repeatedly warned Americans not to confuse Al Qaeda with Islam.

As much as I hate to say it; Mr. Kristof is absolutely right. It should noted that Martin Peretz is, in fact Jewish and is, in fact, a rabid Zionist. In fact, Martin Peretz is known for the following comments:

Frankly, I couldn’t quite imagine any venture like [the Iraq War] in the Arab World turning out especially well. This is, you will say, my prejudice. But some prejudices are built on real facts, and history generally proves me right. Go ahead, prove me wrong. — Source

and:

But, frankly, Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims. And among those Muslims led by the Imam Rauf there is hardly one who has raised a fuss about the routine and random bloodshed that defines their brotherhood. So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges [sic] of the First Amendment which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse. — Source

Like Kristof said; could you imagine if the above were uttered about the Jews or about the black race? There would a media frenzy about it. Believe me, I know; I have been attacked by those who are of the protected class and all for speaking my mind about them and how they attack those of whom they disagree.

The fact is, that this whole Mosque situation boils down to this; Islam versus Christian Nativists and Jews, Arabs versus Americans, whites versus non-whites. Am I calling those who oppose this mosque racists? Well, my question for you is this; do you feel that burning pages of the Koran normal acceptable practice? Would you feel the same way, if some Muslim took a page out of the  Christian Bible and began burning it? How about the Tanakh, the Torah, or The ?umash, the Siddur, the Piyutim or even the Zohar?

The point I am trying to make here is this; I realize that radicalized Muslims attacked the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and Flight 93. However, when you punish an entire religion for the actions of a few, you are practicing a forum of collectivism. That is not anything remotely Conservative, nor is it anything remotely American. Being vigilant against terrorism is one thing; but being idiotic is another, this situation with this Mosque is well beyond that — on both sides.

Update: On the Other hand… these are videos from 9/11:

There are two sides to every argument; one would suppose. There is also this here.

Bush on 9/11 – The only speech that Bush gave that was worth a damn

Posted on

(H/T to Sister Toldjah)

Nine years out; this looks campy, even staged.

However, it was one of Bush’s finer moments. Possibly his only fine moment.

I did not vote for the man; and, at the time, I did not agree with his politics. Needless to say; that has all very much changed.

Whether you voted for him or not — you have to admit. President George W. Bush showed leadership on a very tragic day in America.

Which begs the question —- Could Obama do something like this?

I very much highly doubt it.

Thoughts on 9/11 – 9 Years Later

Posted on

I can tell you were I was, what I was doing, and what time it was.

I was unemployed. At the time; me and Dad were getting up early and drinking coffee together on the front porch. I had come in to get a refill, when my Mom said that a plane had went into the trade center and that another was going in the second one. That is when I came down here; and flipped on CNN.

I remember the fear that I felt, when the news guy for CNN, said there was a report; that a plane was headed to the White House. That’s when it got real for me.

I remember fear.

I remember anger.

I remember the woman, who tried running over the owner of the gas station around the corner.

I remember the thought of “Iraq?!??! WTF?!??!’

I remember the anger at Bush for 2006.

I remember starting a blog.

I remember the Midterms and realizing that I couldn’t vote for them anymore. (Democrats)

I remember the Vietnam War Memorial being hit with cutting oil.

I remember being angry

To say, that America has not been the same, is an understatement.

I will never forget.

I will never forgive.

I am an American.

I posted a video early this morning, I think you all should watch it. My 9/11 tribute from 2009 is here.

Memeorandum’s roundup of our sorry assed President’s 9/11 photo-op is here.

Video: Is this is the future of America in 5 or 10 years?

I think it’s time we got real; before we lose everything.

9/11 – Nine Years Later – May we never, ever forget

Please, watch this: (H/T The Other McCain)

“We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.” — Elie Wiesel

Consider this my official 9/11 posting. I had another that was to drop at 9:00 this morning. However, last night, after much thought. I deleted it. For many, this day, is something they’ll never get over. Bless them. Do something to remember. Pray. Do. But above all; Love.

Prayers, as always, for the families that lost on that dreadful day…. Nine Years Ago.
