Year: 2010

I’m sorry folks, but this bull crap of mocking people with A.D.H.D. and using them as some sort of reference point to describe people is just unacceptable!

Here’s the video, Watch as they careless use the “A.D.H.D. voter” phrase; like it’s nothing: (H/T HotAir)

Yes, I have the disorder, Yes, I take medication for it. No, I am not off the medication; before anyone asks! ….and No, I do not have any health insurance and no, I am not eligible for SSI or any other sort of Government assistance, I checked.

I do not give a flying fark what the damn context was or is, or any of that! Here recently, I was attacked by some people for using the J-Word; well, you know? —- As someone who has suffered from A.D.H.D. my entire life and was diagnosed at age 5 with the disorder; I find this careless use of the phrase to be very highly offensive. No one, not one of you; can even remotely fathom what my personal hell has been like for the last god damned 38 years. My Math skills; horrible. Yes, because of that disorder. But yet, these asshole liberals can just toss that sort of a phrase around and nothing be said about it?!??! It’s god damned bull corn!

You would not mock someone with cancer, even today, using the term, “A Cancer on society”, is taboo.

You would not mock someone who has cerebral palsy.

You would not mock someone who has Parkinson’s. (Although it has happened and they caught hell for it too!)

So, why the hell mock MY disorder? 😡

Now, If I called Eugene Robinson by the N-Word; I would be attacked from all quarters of the Blogosphere! But, yet, he and his liberal friends can sit and mock someone with a learning disorder, like mine; and nothing is said. Strange how that works, isn’t it?

So, again, to Eugene Robinson:

KISS MY A.D.H.D. ASS! 😡

This is one of those times, when you could not pay me to work in the White House

That’s right folks, the President and his Administration are in one hell of a huge bind. If they do not do something fast; they are going to be sunk come the midterms and possibly come 2012.

Now, for the Stories….

Via the New York Times:

American businesses added more jobs in the last three months than originally estimated, but the wheels of the economic recovery are still spinning in place.
The private sector added 67,000 jobs in August, according to the Department of Labor, higher than consensus forecasts, and the government upwardly revised its numbers for June and July, suggesting that job creation was slightly stronger over the summer than originally reported.
But the continuing wind-down of the 2010 Census, as well as state and local government layoffs, led to an overall loss of 54,000 jobs in August.
With businesses adding about half the number of positions needed simply to accommodate population growth — much less dent the ranks of the jobless — the unemployment rate ticked up to 9.6 percent, from 9.5 percent.
“The overall picture is one where the labor market is still kind of treading water,” said Joshua Shapiro, chief United States economist at MFR Inc. “It’s better than sinking, but it’s certainly not surging ahead.”
Given the continuing addition of private jobs — albeit at a tepid pace — Friday’s monthly snapshot of the labor market seemed to calm fears of a double-dip recession. But the numbers are likely to do little to assuage political pressure on the Obama administration in the run-up to the midterm elections.
Speaking from the White House Rose Garden on Friday morning, Mr. Obama called the latest job report “positive news,” but said he would be unveiling “a broader package of ideas next week,” to shore up the flagging economy, although he declined to give specifics. The president once again urged Congress to pass a stalled bill that would offer tax breaks to small businesses and create a $30 billion program to encourage community banks to lend.
“There’s no quick fix for this recession,” he said. “The hard truth is that it took years to create our current economic problems, and it will take more time than any of us would like to repair the damage.”
Responding to the higher-than-expected private sector numbers and revisions, investors pushed up the major stock gauges. By early afternoon, the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index was up 1 percent. Market reaction to the jobs data was tempered somewhat by a report that said growth in the services sector had slowed in August.
The Labor Department revised its private sector number for July, raising the number of jobs added to 107,000 from the 71,000 originally reported. And private sector hiring in June, originally reported at 83,000 and lowered to 31,000, was raised again to 61,000.

This is not making Democrats happy at all… Jack Tapper Reports:

Flanked by members of his economic team – including outgoing Council of Economic Advisers Dr. Christina Romer, whose replacement has yet to be named – President Obama chose to look at the silver lining in the economic clouds of today’s jobs report – not even mentioning that August saw a net job loss of 54,000 jobs.
“In the month I took office, we were losing 750,000 jobs a month,” the president said. “This morning, new figures show the economy produced 67,000 private sector jobs in August, the eighth consecutive month of private job growth. Additionally, the numbers for July were revised upward to 107,000. Now that’s positive news, and it reflects the steps we’ve already taken to break the back of this recession.”
The net job loss for August is largely because of the layoffs of 114,000 Census temporary workers.

….and from David Corn:

Democrats are spooked by recent polls and predictions indicating the GOP may slam the Dems so badly that the D’s lose the House and possibly the Senate. The Republicans need to gain 39 seats to seize the House, and it’s not difficult these days to find nonpartisan handicappers who predict the R’s could gain 40 to 50 seats. The conventional wisdom in D.C.: A tsunami is heading toward the Democrats. A Democratic strategist toiling on the party’s House efforts refers to working on the “Titanic” (though he claims there may be some hidden life rafts). “The president keeps saying it’s a tough environment,” says a Democratic House staffer. “We know that. We want to know what he’s going to do about it.”…
“He still wants to be seen as post-partisan and bipartisan,” says a House Democratic leadership aide. “But we’re in a fight here.” Democrats expect Obama to come out swinging nonstop — bashing the R’s repeatedly and proposing economic initiatives that actually register with voters. At the same time, members of the House Democratic leadership are worried that Obama will cave and yield to GOP demands that George W. Bush’s expiring tax cuts for the wealthy be extended. “If he doesn’t do something immediately, our members will be livid,” says a House Democratic aide. “And when there’s fear of a bloodbath, it’s never too early to start the blame game.”

I just blogged about how the Democrats can fix this mess. However, knowing them like they do; they would rather let the Nation suffer and blame the Republicans for the entire mess, while living large on the taxpayers dime —- than to actually do something to fix the problem. FDR did this, to a certain extent as have many other Democrat Party Presidents; I mean, it is not like Obama is going to be affected by any of this economic downturn.

One there is very certain, the tide is turning, Democrats had the chance to actually fix things and they have failed at it miserably. The Tea Party has now crystallized into a political force to be reckoned with — even among Republicans. RINO’s are being flushed out and true-blue Conservatives are being brought to the battle. It is so bad that the liberal media is gone to terrible spinning facts, an example:

It is possible that coming at the end of the summer an uptick in people looking for work is not as positive as it appears. This is the time of year, after two hot months, when recent graduates start to actually think about their future and send out resumes. And you can image many other out of work people deciding to take off looking for a job in the summer. In August, with the summer ending, some of those people started looking again in earnest. But you would expect the big uptick in post-summer people searching for work to come in September. So the fact that it is coming early is a good sign.

Oh Yes, it is that bad on that that side of the political aisle. When you start reading that sort of idiotic spin in a liberal publication, you know that things are horrifically bad right now for the Democrats. This midterm election and possibly in the general election; will most likely go down as the worst ever failure of the Democrat Party ever. The Democratic Party roared into power in 2006 to take the keys away from the Bush Administration, then they won the General election in 2008. They then got the entire key chain of the Country —- and proceeded to drive the Country as a whole over a cliff! Because of that and because of this economic that we are in, which was, in fact, created by the Carter and Clinton Administrations; whom were, Democratic Party Administrations — we are about to see a major collapse of a party’s authority in the political realm. I have written here, time and time again; that the Democratic Party has horribly overreached…..again. This happens just about every time the Democrats get into power. To be fair and as non-partisan as I can be; Republicans have done it too — Nixon did it, Bush did it and some others. However, this administration took it to another more frightening level. Because of this; they are about to do what many call, “Paying the Piper.”

The ship is sinking and the rats are jumping. It should be very interesting to watch. 2010 looms and they have no answers.

Welcome to the meltdown. Get popcorn. Hold on tight and enjoy the show.

It is amazing what terrible economy will do to a Democrat President

Posted onSeptember 3, 2010September 3, 20101 Comment

If there is any truth to this; it can turn the most rabid Democrat into a Republican, real quick:

Administration officials have struggled to develop new economic policies and an effective message to blunt expected Republican gains in Congress and defuse complaints from Democrats that President Obama is fumbling the issue most important to voters. Following Obama’s vacation and focus on foreign policy in recent weeks, White House advisers have arranged a series of economic events for the president next week, including two trips to swing states and a news conference.
“We’ll continue to do everything we can, understanding that recovery will require persistent effort. There are no silver bullets,” senior Obama adviser David Axelrod said in an interview Thursday. “At the same time, we have to make clear our ideas and theirs, and the fact that the Washington Republicans, having helped create this recession, have attempted to block our every effort to deal with it.”
But with the unemployment rate expected to rise again in jobs numbers due out Friday, panic is setting in among many Democratic candidates who fear it is too late for Obama to convince voters that he understands the depth of the nation’s economic woes and can fix them.
[….]
Last November, Obama announced that he would turn his attention to unemployment, calling it “one of the great challenges that remains in our economy.” He declared the same intent two months later, telling House Democrats he would focus relentlessly on job creation “over the next several months.” Senior aides went on television pledging that the mantra would become “jobs, jobs, jobs.”
But other matters – health care, the BP oil spill – continually stole the limelight, creating the impression, some Democrats complain, that the president was barely focused on the economy at all.
His advisers described his attentiveness – noting, for example, that he discussed the economy with New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg (I) for 15 minutes before golfing – but got little traction.
“Obviously it’s going to be hard to get anything done before the election, but it’s really important for him to try, and to make the case to the American people that he’s trying to do something and the Republicans aren’t letting him,” said Steve Elmendorf, a Democratic strategist. “We are at the final moments here.”
Obama has another incentive to act: Tax cuts enacted during the George W. Bush administration are scheduled to expire in January, and Democrats – accused by Republicans of plotting to let them vanish – feel compelled to do something before the midterms.
Obama campaigned on a pledge to let cuts expire for the richest 2 percent of households, but some Democrats say the economy is too weak to raise anyone’s taxes right now. And they fear a backlash from small-business owners who could be hit with higher taxes.
Pairing targeted business tax breaks with an extension of middle-class tax cuts could help alleviate those problems.

This article alone, ought to be a lesson for any Democrat thinking about running for office. That raising Taxes in a recession, just does not work. Only tax breaks for the wealthy and making the business climate more healthy will help. Also cutting spending is another way to bring down inflation. This article alone, should be a text book example of why Keynesian Economics does not work in a recession, at all. If you tax businesses to death, you spur growth, if you spur growth, jobs disappear — it is a vicious cycle. Democrats have been making these same stupid mistakes for years.

Which is why we need to vote them out, come November of 2010. Especially here in Michigan, where job growth is desperately needed.

Robert Stacy McCain meets Todd Palin

Say what you want about Robert Stacy McCain, but when the man scores a exclusive, he scores an exclusive…..:

Todd Palin and Son Trigg
Half an hour later, I drive down an unpaved road past a large Miller-for-Senate campaign sign and turn into a driveway marked with multiple “No Trespassing” signs, past which no wise person would go uninvited. Here, nestled among birch trees on the shore of scenic Lake Lucille, is the home of the woman whom liberals love most to hate — and Todd, the man who got the nickname “First Dude” during his wife’s term as Alaska’s governor.
Todd opens the front door and his youngest son, two-year-old Trig, scampers across the living room to greet the guest with a “high five.” Rambunctiously energetic, Trig is the focus of his father’s attention — Todd bounces the toddler on his knee, reads him a book, and fixes him a bottle — for the next several minutes until 16-year-old Willow comes downstairs, scoops him up and carries him upstairs for sisterly babysitting.
Getting an interview with Sarah Palin is difficult. Getting an interview with Todd is next to impossible, and I would never have gotten this far if mutual friends — including Anchorage conservative talk-radio legend Eddie Burke — hadn’t vouched for my bona fides. So most of the conversation over the next two hours is off-the-record, or at least on background. To breach that agreement would be to put myself into that category of reporters whom Sarah Palin recently described to Sean Hannity as “impotent, limp and gutless.”

As of about right now, Mr. McCain is “The Man” of the Conservative Blogosphere. What an awesome thing to wake up to. 😀

Still, I am not much a of a Palin fan. But this is quite the awesome get, journalistically speaking.

Although, right now, I would venture to guess that there is a certain pony-tailed man in California who’s feeling about small at the moment.

Salon Publishes some irrefutable truths about the Republican Party’s Past

Posted onSeptember 3, 2010September 3, 20102 Comments

I hate to say it, for once, Salon.com, got it right:

For a century after the Civil War, the South was deeply and overwhelmingly Democratic, a consequence of the “humiliation” visited upon white Southerners by the Republican-initiated Reconstruction that followed the Civil War. The level of support enjoyed by Democratic candidates in the region is almost too astronomical to fathom now. In 1912, Woodrow Wilson took 42 percent of the vote nationally in a four-way presidential contest. But in South Carolina, he snared 95 percent. In Mississippi, 88 percent. While he was grabbing 60 percent nationally in 1936, Franklin Roosevelt scored 97 percent in Mississippi and nearly 99 percent in South Carolina. The region’s congressional delegation was uniformly Democratic — and, thanks to the South’s one-party status, disproportionately influential, with lifelong incumbents taking advantage of the congressional seniority system to secure the most powerful committee gavels.
For decades, they comfortably coexisted in the national Democratic Party’s other major source of support, the machine-folk of the urban North. But as civil rights became a national issue — and as the Great Migration of Southern blacks to the cities of the North and West turned civil rights into a priority for Democrats outside the South — the coalition began to splinter. When the party ratified a civil rights plank at its 1948 convention, Southern Democrats staged a walkout and lined up behind Strom Thurmond, South Carolina’s governor and (like all Southern Democrats of the time) an arch-segregationist. Running under the Dixiecrat banner, Thurmond won four Deep South states that fall.
Throughout the ’50s and early ’60s, Southern Democrats sat in political limbo. Their national brethren were inching their way toward a full-on embrace of civil rights, but the GOP wasn’t much of an alternative, not with Dwight Eisenhower endorsing integration and not with the party’s Northern-dominated congressional ranks strongly backing civil rights legislation.
1964, though, is what changed everything. In signing the Civil Rights Act, LBJ cemented the Democrats as a civil rights party. And in nominating anti-civil rights Barry Goldwater for president (instead of pro-civil rights Nelson Rockefeller) the GOP cast its future fortunes with the white electorate of the South. LBJ trounced Goldwater nationally that fall, winning more than 60 percent of the popular vote. But in the South, voters flocked to the Republican nominee, with Goldwater carrying five states in the region. Mississippi, the same state that had given FDR 97 percent of its votes 28 years earlier, now gave Goldwater 87 percent. That fall, Thurmond, now a senator, renounced his Democratic affiliation once and for all and signed up for Goldwater’s GOP. The realignment was well underway, and it had everything to do with race.

First of all, let me say this; yes, this article is true. As is the premise of the article as well. Now, seeing what I am being accused of, I will let forth another revelation. Do I think that this a good thing? No, I do not. Here is why; just like in the Democratic Party, where they have played upon the fears among the black community, that the Tea Party are bunch of “White Racist Bigots”, like they were called by some liberal idiot actress — the Republicans played that same game back in the 1950 and to a bigger extent in the 1960’s. This was the second time, that they played that idiotic game. The first time, was back in the 1930’s after the stock market crash. This mainly happened after FDR went into office and the Republicans lost a good deal of seats in the House and Senate. These people became known as the “Old Right,” or the Taft Republicans. Named for the Senator, Robert Taft. They were and are still commonly referred to as the “Taft Wing” of the Republican Party; anti-new deal, Anti-FDR, Isolationists —- all that. Yes, they are still around; some familiar names — Pat Buchanan, Ron Paul, Chuck Baldwin and many more.

I said all that to say this; as I have written before on this blog any times, politics is a sewer. There are people, in both of these parties, that would sell out a political or ideological stance; or even capitalize on a public fear, just so they can get elected. This has been happening since the founding of America and since the time that political parties were started. The Democrats did it in the past, and the Republicans have done it too. The problem is now, that the GOP wants to rewrite their own damned history, just for the purpose of political expediency. They believe that now that Obama is not doing very well in the polls and the midterms are coming; that they will be able to clear the Bush hurdle and possible take the midterms. Something that they could do very well, if they would be a bit more honest and up front about their past. Sorry folks, there is nothing wrong with a political party saying, “Hey, you know, we were wrong about all that a long time ago.”

To clearly understand all of the above; one must take the camera lens and pull back about 10 good feet and look at that only thing in it’s historical context. You have remember, that there a good number of scared white people in the south. The Klan backed segregation movement had been defeated. The Federal Government had ordered integration in the south. There were white people in Alabama, Georgia and many other states in the south, that were deathly afraid that the black populace was going to rise up and drag the white folk out of their houses, kill them, and take their possessions. Did the Republican Party capitalize on those fears. You bet they did! Did it ever happen? No. But it did get many of a Republicans voted for in the south.

Not much of it has changed; back then, they had booklets like “Red Channels.” Nowadays, we have a thing called the Blogosphere! Same game, same fears, same two parties. Just the surroundings have changed a bit. We have laptops and desktops; instead of typewriters. We have RSS feeds, instead of newspapers. We have Bill O’Reilly, Keith Olbermann and Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Ed Schultz; back then there was just Ed Murrow and McCarthy. They are still yelling at one another and getting ratings. Not much as changed at all. One side is fighting for supposed “Equality”, the other is on some sort of Messianic mission to save the world from Communism. None of it has ever changed; just the methods have changed a bit. But it is that struggle, I believe, that makes America the great nation that it is. That is the debate that sets us apart from other Countries —- Federalism vs Anti-Federalism. Conservative vs Liberal. The very right to be able to debate is unique one to this Nation.

Admittedly, in the last two years; things got a bit one sided in Government. One party was driven to the wilderness for a bit. However, in 2010, this is about to fix itself. That is the wonderful thing about America; our political balance always rights itself.

…..and we are a greater Nation for it.

Quote of the Day

Of course, much as I admired her and refreshing as I found her, Dr. Laura wasn’t perfect. A good listener and a shrewd thinker most of the time, she could get hung up on tangential matters that would sometimes get in the way of the true meat of the caller’s issue. (It sounds as though the notorious call that triggered her resignation eariler this month might have been one instance of this unfortunate tendency.) And the more she grew to embrace her Jewish identity, culminating in a conversion to Orthodoxy, the more Dr. Laura seemed to get drawn into politics, mixing in commentary regarding Israel and the so-called War on Terror, all of which tended to undermine her cred as a nonpartisan, apolitical dispenser of relationship and family advice.
But if Dr. Laura had flaws, she never in any way resembled the caricature constructed of her by her enemies: that of a mean, hateful, rapaciously-judgmental dragon lady. Much as she frequently unloaded on her callers and spoke her mind, Schlessinger as often as not sent them off with a tender word; moreover, she was a true emotional sap, often driven to tears on the air. I vividly remember one call from a young mother with an infant child who shared her tragic story of being stricken by terminal cancer; when she mourned, “I’m not going to get to see my baby walk,” Dr. Laura was so choked up she couldn’t speak, and had to go to a break.

The Obligatory Hillary Clinton 2012 video posting

Posted onSeptember 2, 2010

For what it is worth; Hillary Clinton is not behind the video. Just some fan boy, with money to burn. As I have written on this blog time and time again; the Clinton dynasty is over people. Obama handed foggy bottom’s, um, bottom to her in the 2008 primary and there is just no way in hell she is ever going to do that again, ever.

Quite honestly, I just do not see how Clinton being President would be any better. Besides, some of us have not forgotten about Waco. That is why I never, ever, want to see another damned Clinton in the White House, ever. 😡 To be clear, David Koresh was wrong, crazy, and a few other choice words. However, Clinton could have ordered restraint, and he did not. For this, the lives of 74 or so people, were wasted — for this I can never, ever forgive him.

Another Gulf Oil Rig blows up and the Blogosphere collectively loses its mind

It is another one of them moments when the political blogging world goes ape, over something that is not nearly as bad, as everyone thinks.

The AP has the story:

NEW ORLEANS – An oil platform exploded and burned off the Louisiana coast Thursday, the second such disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in less than five months. This time, the Coast Guard said there was no leak, and no one was killed.
The Coast Guard initially reported that an oil sheen a mile long and 100 feet wide had begun to spread from the site of the blast, about 200 miles west of the source of BP’s massive spill. But hours later, Coast Guard Cmdr. Cheri Ben-Iesau said crews were unable to find any spill.
The company that owns the platform, Houston-based Mariner Energy, did not know what caused the fire. Mariner Energy’s Patrick Cassidy said he considered the incident a fire, not an explosion.
“The platform is still intact and it was just a small portion of the platform that appears to be burned,” he said.
Mariner officials said there were seven active production wells on the platform, and they were shut down shortly before the fire broke out.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said the company told him the fire began in 100 barrels of light oil condensate.
The Coast Guard said Mariner Energy reported the oil sheen. In a public statement, the company said an initial flyover did not show any oil.
Photos from the scene showed at least five ships floating near the platform. Three of them were shooting great plumes of water onto the machinery. Light smoke could be seen drifting across the deep blue waters of the gulf.
By late afternoon, the fire on the platform was out.

Of course, the political carnival barkers on both sides, were in full force. You can read that round up here.

It is a lead story now over on Memeornadum.

My feelings? Eh, it happens. People get nervous. Big deal.

As you can tell, my give a crap meter is not even moving on this deal.

Tee Hee: Pakistani people are sneaking and looking at babes on my blog!

and how do I know this?

The page he was looking at? Right here.

Eh, God Bless the guy. If coming to my blog and taking in some hot babe makes the dude happy and even makes him rethink all that hardcore Islamic nonsense, I am all for it.

I did that Babe-of-the-day thing for a while, but I stopped, because there did not seem to be an interest in it. Plus, it’s hard to find good pics of chicks, with them looking all like porn shots. The problem with Babe shots is, that you tend scare off the hardcore Christian Crowd; not that I am really courting them. But they are Americans too. I try and stick to the political stuff, and the stuff that other Bloggers will not touch. But every now and again, and nice picture of a pretty woman ain’t bad.

If anyone of you have requests for babe photos; send me request via the contact me page on here. I will see if I can scarf up a photo and post it. no, I won’t post porn shots and nude shoot. Sorry, I do not do porn on here. But, a nice bikini shot I can do. Anyhow, if there’s enough interest, I’ll go back to doing that on a daily basis.

That is all…

Police State?: Man Tased repeatedly in his own home

Posted onSeptember 2, 2010September 2, 20101 Comment

The Story via the Examiner:

The Marin County Sheriff’s Office is responding to an exclusive report by San Francisco-based television station KGO-TV about sheriff’s deputies tasing a 64-year-old man who said that he would “shoot himself in the head” after he was treated by paramedics for a slip and fall injury.
Peter McFarland told KGO-TV that the statement threatening suicide was “hyperbole” after he was tired and suffering pain from his injuries. McFarland is filing a lawsuit

Marion County Sheriff’s Dept Statement:

On Monday, August 30, 2010, a representative from a local news station left a voicemail message advising the Marin County Sheriff’s Office that Mr. Peter McFarland had filed a lawsuit against the sheriff’s office related to his arrest on June 30, 2009. The Marin County Sheriff’s Office has not been served with a lawsuit with respect to the arrest of Mr. Peter McFarland on June 30, 2009, nor has it yet had an opportunity to review the allegations made to the media on August 30, 2010 by Mr. McFarland’s attorney.

The decision to resort to the use of force is never taken lightly and deputy sheriffs undergo an extensive amount of on-going training to ensure those decisions are both appropriate and fall within the guidelines established by law and department policy.
Irrespective of the totality of facts that lead to a decision to apply force in an arrest situation, the actual application of that force is often a very difficult thing to watch, as evidenced by the reaction of some to seeing the effects of the TASER deployment used during Mr. McFarland’s arrest. That reaction can all too often also be influenced by using only small, selected segments of a much lengthier video that better depicts the complexity of the event in question.
Regardless, the Marin County Sheriff’s Office is committed to as transparent a process in its arrest procedures as possible, a process that requires every TASER weapon in our inventory to contain a video / audio recording device that is automatically activated each time the weapon’s safety is removed. It is that very video system that recorded the footage recently released to the news media by Mr. McFarland.
The Sheriff’s Office takes all allegations of excessive force and/or deputy misconduct seriously and will do so in this case as well. After all the facts have been made public, we are confident the actions of our deputies will be found to have been both within the law and department policy.

Liberals to Black Conservatives at Beck Rally: Christianity is a white man religion

Posted onSeptember 2, 2010

Quote:

At Glenn Beck’s ‘Restoring Honor’ rally this past Saturday in Washington, D.C, a group of black Conservatives were approached by liberals who think they know best what African Americans should do and think.
One says “What happened to your African religion? You’re supposed to be Muslim.” Then, one of the tolerant liberals drops a word-bomb with a splash of racism, “Christianity is a white man’s religion.”
Leave it to the sheeple debating these guys who believe everything they are told as the absolute truth. For buying into political correctness in history, they sure don’t hold PC highly while claiming that Christianity is a white mans religion. Double standard much?
By the way, where was the racism from the ‘crazy right-wing fringe extremists that don’t represent a majority of America” crowd at Beck’s rally?
That’s right. There wasn’t any.

The real funny part is, if you notice in the video, the guy saying that idiotic stuff —- is white. 😯

I have to hand it to those liberals, they do have gonads. I would never, ever, in a million years; walk up to a black man, especially one that I did not know, and say something like that. That is a good way to get your ass beat. Because essentially what those white guys did; was call those black men, “House Negros.” Not a smart thing to do to someone you really do not know. I mean, it is one thing to talk smack behind a keyboard; but face to face like that, is just plain crazy. I can assure you, had that been in Detroit somewhere, those little whitey liberals, would have been in a body bag for talking that kind of smack, to some black man’s face.

In short: They be dummies. Liberal Dummies, but still dummies. 😀 (Pardon my ghetto’sh talk…)

Salon.com says, Glenn Beck is really, really scary

Now this is too good:

Salon.com:

It’s been obvious for quite some time that Glenn Beck is not your typical conservative pundit. In the early days of Beckmania, style distinguished him from his Fox News colleagues more than content. He disseminated the same talking points as Hannity, O’Reilly and Cavuto, but he did it in the appealingly histrionic style of a true paranoiac. It was somewhat like listening to Alex Jones, talk radio’s greatest conspiracy monger, if someone convinced Jones to vote Republican, gave him a radio show, and then got him very drunk.
That was then.
But Beck has put a lot of work into expanding his brand since then, to the point that it’s no longer sufficient to describe him as a mere right-wing pundit. Nor is he, as Reihan Salam suggests, some kind of pasty conservative Malcolm X. There is no analogy that can explain the totality of the Beck phenomenon, but there are dozens that can capture a single facet: a dash of Father Coughlin, a smidgen of Oprah, and even a little L. Ron Hubbard sprinkled on top.

Go read the rest of that; it is worth the read, just to see how scared of Glenn Beck that the liberals truly are. Let’s see now, Liberals attacking Glenn Beck and making him out to be someone he is not. Now, where have I heard that one before?

I believe that it would be safe to assume that Mr. Matthews no longer has the thrill up his leg.

Nuremberg Defense

Posted onSeptember 2, 2010September 2, 20104 Comments

I do not know quite where to start. One minute, I am somewhat respected blogger. The next, I am writing my defense paper. I somewhat now know how Glenn Back feels. One difference, Glenn Beck has a great deal more money than I do. It appears that my stick poking at some women has caused a bit of a negative reaction; and they have really done their homework. Hell, they did everything but post my damned social security number! They would have done that, if they knew they would not have gotten into legal trouble for it.

What am I referring? It appears that the two lovely women that I took a rather broad handed swipe at did not like it one bit. In fact, bluntly, I do believe I may have pissed those old bitties off! You can go read the laundry list of accusations against me; it is such a depressing read really. You would think that I was some sort of Neo-Nazi or at least a Klan supporter.

Now what I did I do, to deserve such scrutiny by the Semite-Baiting crowd?

I said the J-Word!

Horrors! Off with my head! Shoot him at sunrise! Hang him at dawn! How dare this fiend dare to challenge the Neo-Conservative Ring-Wing establishment!

I may as well have yelled “Whore!” at a feminist rally.

Therefore, yes, they are after me and after me good. A price must be paid I suppose, for being a smart-mouthed, opinionated, person such as me.

Now, what is my defense? Not much really, they have their facts somewhat correct. I will explain some of the stuff and even try to salvage what sort of credibility I might have left. Not that it will really make any difference to these Semite-Baiters, they have their mission and nothing I will say or even do will make any difference to them at all.

The Stormfront Account: Yes, I do have one. I have owned it for a long time. Something happened in the media one time, involved this forum. Therefore, I wanted to snoop around the site and I created the account. Now, does this mean that I agree one iota with those simpletons about race — specifically Jews and Blacks? No, it does not. As for what I may have written there — it is called engaging one’s self in conversation with them, as to figure out how they think and to borrow a phrase, what makes them tick. I am, without apology, a morbidly curious person. I am also a writer. One has to know one’s subject well, if one is going to write with authority about a subject.
Michelle Malkin: This was one of things, which I did, that I am not proud of — I can really only tell you the truth about it. Before I do, please, bear in mind that before I was a smart mouthed Conservative writer, that I was a left-leaning smart mouthed writer. Having said that, here is the damned truth about that idiotic stunt that I pulled that happened over three or more years ago. Michelle Malkin wrote something that just flat out pissed me off. It has been so damned long ago; that I have totally forgotten what it was, I know that it involved kids, and her giving out personal information about the parents of those kids. So, I thought, “huh, if she can give out personal information about people, why cannot I give HER personal information out?” and I so, I did a google search for “Michelle Malkin Address” and a website came up, which had her address, telephone numbers and cell phone numbers. I let out an evil laugh and fired off a blog posting with her information, and aerial shot of her house! That will fix her red wagon! The posting was up for all of, um, maybe an hour? A message popped into my inbox — from a good friend of hers, she had not lived in that house for 3 years! D’oh! I pulled that posting and prayed to God in Heaven that no one went to that house. Now, did I feel a bit silly? You Betcha! Do I hate Michelle Malkin? No. Her style of “Slash and Burn” Political writing is not my style. However, I would very remiss, if I did not mention that she sticks up for our Military. In fact, it was one of her stories on her blog, that about sent me into a monkey shit fit of biblical proportions. It was when some idiot anti-war sleaze ball decided that it would be cool to pour cutting oil on the Vietnam War memorial in D.C. It was the reading of that story, and a series of other events; that caused me to say, “You know, the Democrats are just not my party anymore.” I will say one thing — I was told by some friends of mine, that the reason why Michelle Malkin moved to Colorado was that someone decided to post her address on a liberal forum, I heard it was Democratic Underground. Anyhow, I had zero to do with that incident and I would like to find out whom it was that did that crap. Now, what I was told might be untrue. However, I want her and her friends to know, that I regret now doing that idiotic nonsense. At the time, I knew nothing about her or how many children she had or anything of that sort. Had I known that, I would never, ever pulled a stunt like that. I would have just ignored it and moved on.
The Michael Hendrix Incident: Once again, I made rather stupid mistake. When in the heat of the battle, you say and do things, which later you think to yourself, “What the hell did I do that for?” What happened was, I got a slight tap on the ass for some co-blogger at cold fury for saying that I happened t respect the John Birch Society. The dude called me stupid. I being the dude that was raised in the ghetto, I let the shit fly. I went for the juggler vein. In the process of that little sword fight, I ended up insulting Mike’s dead wife! First, off, at the time, I did not know what Mike’s last name even was; much less whom the person was, that was listed on the blog as being deceased. Put bluntly, I fucked up. When I did find out who she was, I did pray that God would turn the earth back about six good revolutions and let time go backward. So, that someone could scream in my ear, “THAT’S HIS FUCKING DECEASED WIFE YOU IDIOT!” —- No such luck on that one, time is still dragging on and I still feel like a damned chump about that.
My supposed Hatred of Jews, Blacks, and other Minorities: Let me answer this one like this. I am doing rather well for someone whose cousin was brutally murdered by two black Detroit police officers and a Mexican Police Officer back in the 1990’s. I make no bones about it; I hate identity Politics of ALL stripes — Including the special treatment of ANY race. If that makes me an Anti-Semite, that so be it.

Therefore, there you have it — My Nuremberg Defense. I believe that I have answered the charges leveled at me, by a group of people whose mission in life is to ruin anyone who dares challenge the Neo-Conservative right. I make no apologies for my wit, sarcasm, and ability to make heads explode, on the left or right. It is what I do. Buckley did it, Taki Theodoracopulos does it very well, Richard Spencer does it well, and I will continue to do it here. If you read this and feel that need to complain to ad companies, which exist on this blog, therefore to hang me for my so-called crimes, and disrupt my ability to buy my medicine, do please feel free. However, please, do not call yourself a Conservative — Because that, which you are doing to me, is not even remotely Conservative. What you doing, is in line with the Uber-Liberal Left, they are the intolerant ones, and they are the ones who have attacked me for daring to challenge the President in the past. You should at least be honest and align yourselves with them.

So… there, the truth, my defense, as God as my witness — I will accept whatever becomes of this nonsense and act accordingly.

BREAKING NEWS: Pastor Chuck Baldwin,2008 Constitution Party candidate for President, to resign from pastorate

From the Chuck Baldwin Live Site and Blog:

Last Sunday, August 29, 2010, was the hardest day of my life. Even when my father made me promise that I would preach his funeral (which I did–twice: once in Indiana where he lived, and again in Florida where I live and where he is buried), that was not as difficult and gut wrenching as what I had to do last Sunday. Last Sunday, I retired as the pastor of the church that my wife and I founded 35 years ago: the Crossroad Baptist Church of Pensacola, Florida.
Think of it: all of my adult life (after college) has been spent pastoring this wonderful congregation. And the people that I spoke to this past Sunday evening are, without a doubt, the finest group of people I have ever known. They are my friends. Many of them I had led to Christ, or were saved under my preaching. Some have stood with me for twenty years; some for over thirty years. My vocabulary is too limited to express the love and appreciation I have for these wonderful people! They stood by me through thick and thin. Even when God opened the door for me to run for President of the United States on the Constitution Party ticket, they stood by me. They stood by me when enemies attacked me; they stood by me when friends forsook me.
And last Sunday evening, I had to tell them that, after 35 years as their shepherd, God had led me to leave them. I can tell you, tears flowed like rivers; and I believe my family and I cried more than anyone.
[…]
Yes, I will continue to write this column; but while we are in the process of moving (maybe 6 weeks or more), they will not be written quite as often. I will attempt (with the help of a small but dedicated staff) to produce at least one column a week (instead of two). Yes, my web site, ChuckBaldwinLive.com will be maintained. And, yes, people will still be able to support us via the website during this transition.
Yes, last Sunday was the hardest day of my life, but there will be many hard and difficult days ahead for the Baldwin family. Each of us is aware of that. We are not naïve. We know we are headed for a fight; we know it won’t be easy. But we also know that freedom is worth fighting for, and if Washington, D.C., is freedom’s greatest threat (and it is), then defiant, liberty-loving states are freedom’s greatest allies. I’ve been preaching that for several years now. I guess it’s time that I started practicing it. Therefore, Montana, here we come!

I suppose I should write a little something here about Mr. Baldwin and why this is such a big story. I have not always agreed with Pastor Baldwin; in fact, I have been known to criticize him on certain issues. However, I know Mr. Baldwin’s heart. He is, like me, a Baptist and also a born again Christian. (Although, I would tend to opine that he does a much better job at the Christian bit, than I will ever do. But, I digress.) I also know what Chuck Baldwin wants to see the Conservative movement come back to the days of Ronald Reagan and get away from the idiotic Neo-Conservative stupidity that has infiltrated that party and movement in the last 10 or so years.

I do read his column every time it comes out, and even though, at times, I disagree with it’s content; I do know that it comes from someone with a good heart and from someone who shares my love for this wonderful Country of ours.

Having said all of that, I do wish Pastor Chuck Baldwin and the Baldwin family, the very best in what they are about to undertake. I too, have had to count the cost of doing what I do and I know, like Pastor Baldwin, that in the end — it will have been worth every piece of hate mail, insults and even lies made up about us.

Good Luck Pastor and May the Lord of Hosts be with you.

REALITY REPORT #59 – DOJ Defines Constitutionalists as Terrorists

The Reality Report
Restore the Republic

George Washington could not tell a lie, but Glenn Beck did

Now why does this not surprise me one bit?

During his much-ballyhooed “Restoring Honor” rally on Saturday, Glenn Beck told a whopper involving the founding father who was supposedly unable to tell a lie: George Washington.
Speechifying at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial, the controversial Fox News host highlighted the legacy of the nation’s first president to drive home his claim that encouraging honesty and integrity was a main aim of the event. Beck even told attendees that “the next George Washington” was “in this crowd. He may be 8 years old, but this is the moment. This is the moment that he dedicates his life, that he sees giants around him. And 25 years from now, he will come not to this stair, but to those stairs. And he can proclaim, ‘I have a new dream.'”
Beck also invoked Washington while describing the inspiring experience of visiting famous tourist destinations around the nation’s capital. “I have been going to Mt. Vernon,” he explained. Holding out his hands for emphasis, he declared with emotion, “I went to the National Archives, and I held the first inaugural address written in his own hand by George Washington.”
It was an eyebrow-raising revelation and certainly an original image: Beck cradling the actual words of the first president. But would the persnickety gatekeepers of the nation’s historical legacy at the National Archives allow some talk show bombthrower to put his mitts on a rare (and fragile) artifact? The answer, it turns out, is no way. Beck was not telling the truth.
Beck did receive a special VIP tour of the archives, arranged by an as-yet unidentified member of Congress. During that tour, he did get a peek inside the “legislative vault,” which isn’t open to ordinary visitors. But Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper insists that Beck didn’t lay a finger on any precious documents, much less George Washington’s inaugural address. That would be a major violation of policy. “Those kinds of treasures are only handled by specially trained archival staff,” she explains. Cooper acknowledges that someone at the archives did show the document to Beck, but that was the extent of it. Regarding Beck’s claim that he held the document, Cooper says that seeing such documents for the first time can be a very emotional experience. “I’m certain it was a figure of speech,” she says.

Before anyone says it; yes, I know that this is a liberal source. It goes on to really give Glenn Beck a good fisking. I also realize that Glenn Beck is a showman, more than anyone else. I also realize that Glenn Beck is all about creating hype and also a great deal of money.

However, it is worth mention and pointing out, that Glenn Beck should have known that if he told this sort of “whopper” as it is called in this piece; that someone somewhere would point out that he was stretching the truth a bit. You would think that someone like Glenn Beck, with all that staff and advisers; would have been smart than to allow him to let loose such little thing like that.

Before anyone tries to say it; I do like Glenn Beck. I do not watch his show every day, mainly because he does tend to repeat himself…. a whole bunch. However, I do know he does mean well and I do like what it is what he is trying to in educating those in the history of the progressive and communist movements and how they affect America.
