Living proof that Adam Kokesh/Ron Paul Supporters are unhinged leftists in disguise

As you all know, I have been writing and talking about Adam Kokesh, the moron who got arrested at the Jefferson Memorial for basically being a tool. I have also documented and written about the fact that the man is a anti-war, Ron Paul supporting loon, who was dishonorably discharged from the Military for his loony activities.

Well, it appears that I have hit a nerve with the anti-war, Ron Paul supporting loon crowd.

These are ALL of the comments that I have received over the last few days. Some are just stupid nonsense written by loons who are, for the most part, out of touch with reality. Some, on the other hand are just straight up vile. So, consider this your official content warning.

Just a word of note, I am presenting this, IP addresses and all. If you happen to spot your IP address in these; don’t e-mail me asking me to remove it. Because I will not. The way I see it, if you are big enough to come to my blog and leave stupid comments like these, then you should be big enough to deal with your IP being broadcast.

With that, let’s start shall we?

“I do not believe in a police state, I really do not.” – But you believe in the right of people to be arrested for peaceful assembly.  Too bad your brain is not large enough to understand the multitude of ways you contradict yourself.

Read the first amendment. It’s as simple as that. How do you define dancing? What if I walked in there and stretched and yawned? What if I stretched my arms up and took two steps to the side? What if I stretched my arms up, took two steps to the side and then did a 180 degree turn followed by a crouch and a head turn to the left, then right, and then a hip pop and a swivel of the hip? At what point did I start DANCING? I was just moving. I’ve seen dancers who use their legs in such a fashion as to walk across a street or through a door. Are they dancing? What if they’re walking with style? These are all things that our government is supposed to PROTECT, and not punish.

Our military is doing nothing but spreading the anti-American sentiment in Iraq. There’s no terrorists there. Just innocent people defending their land. There’s no weapons of  mass destruction. There’s no Bin Laden. Why the hell should we stay in an innocent country and steal their oil and blow up apartment buildings??

Yeah, I agree! Rights are only for people that I like! I don’t think people I don’t like should have any rights at all. And there’s no way anything could ever go wrong if everyone has that take on things.

You know that old saying, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. ” Well, you know who said that? A Frenchman! And I don’t like French people, so clearly that saying is stupid and it isn’t a principle we should have.

You know a group that has little sympathy with the public? People with neckbeards. So the author shouldn’t be too surprised if no one cares if he is ever beaten and thrown in prison for peaceful behavior.

It doesn’t MATTER if they did it with the INTENT of getting arrested.  They are merely dancing in a public place. Are you freaking insane?! If you think that anyone should be arrested in a public place for dancing, whether you like them or not, or whether you “know” what they’re up to, then you don’t understand the concept of freedom.  You don’t understand the reason for the bill of rights, or the basis for having a WRITTEN CONSTITUTION.  Do you not understand the idea between the concept “better 10 guilty men go free than 1 innocent man suffer injustice?”

Either you believe in these rights, or you do not, PICK ONE.

They need no permit to “protest.”  A man needs no permit to kiss his girlfriend, to dance to himself, to perform any other self-expression which is not inherently harmful.  This was not even inherently disruptive.  I don’t care who this CITIZEN is, he’s entitled to self-expression — and one of the GUARANTEES of our Constitution is that the GOVERNMENT will not take that from him.

His intent is irrelevant.  WHO he may be is also irrelevant.  At this point he is a citizen and the government arrested him (and others) without valid cause.

I served, and I opposed our continuing occupation of Iraq.  The only “asshat” is you, there is no pipe, and I don’t smoke (or resort to inane expressions such as those.)  What you don’t grasp is that the Bill of Rights isn’t just for those that you agree with, that you like, or limited by any other criteria.  It’s a guarantee, a limitation that We The People placed upon our government in the very beginning, to avoid EXACTLY this sort of thing.

Take a hike, Patrick.  What you’re endorsing is not Liberty, nor is it Constitutional.  What you’re endorsing is not ever welcome in this nation.

“The same damned leftist Adam Kokersh that opposed the Iraq War, and is a fiery leftist;”

ROFL! Please tell me this is satire. Opposing the Iraq War doesn’t make someone a leftist. Adam Kokesh is a libertarian and a former Republican congressional candidate.

“who lies about every damned thing under the sun; including his Military career.”

Any Iraq War veteran that disagrees with the Iraq War must be either lying about his service or a traitor! Care to cite any evidence? If not this is just a baseless smear and you should be ashamed.

(For the record, I did. and here too -Pat)

Now it starts getting interesting and vile:

Yeah seriously. The Jefferson Memorial  is a memorial to the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence, one of the greatest tributes to human liberty ever.

We must protect decorum in such a sanctified place. It is not dignified for people to be dancing, or in other ways acting like liberated people. The best way to pay tribute to Jefferson is for tourists bringing their children there to see police body slamming people. That teaches our children the right lesson on liberty. You are free to behave in the way that certain people like, and if you transgress, you will be violently punished.

Liberty!

I can’t speak for the others, but I did not come here looking for a fight.  I came here because your site came up my google search.  If you were some socialist retard I would not have bothered even leaving a comment.  But I was completely taken aback that someone who claimed to be conservative and believe in small government cannot see the hypocricy of not supporting the first amendment, regardless of the defendant.  It seems to demonstrate to me, that you are in fact not interested in small government, you are just interested in government that protects YOUR interests.  This would make you no different from any Democrat.  And this is the reason that instead of small government, we have the welfare state^2 (squared): welfare for poor, welfare for the churches, welfare for the corporations, and welfare for the public employees (e.g. police).

from this comments I’ll break the logic down into simple to follow steps. 1st:Gettysburg address not allowed to be read then dancing shouldn’t be allowed either… ok I’ve got it so far…. 2nd  not allowing the reading of the Address is socialist (which I’ll take from you connotation to be bad) and not american.   So from your logic you think it’s anti American to arrest people for dancing at the Jefferson memorial??

I ended up blocking that loons IP address from viewing the site, because of that; leaving me four comments like that is not going to change my mind, nor is it going to endure me to your opinion.

So, there you have it; friends and supporters of Adam Kokesh and Representative Ron Paul; now, is this the sort of people that you would want in YOUR White House?

Michelle Malkin made a book about the unhinged left a while back; I think I know what happened to them all. They took up with Ron Paul.

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable.

 

Video: Guest Voice: Jack Hunter Says “The Patriot Act Is Not Conservative”

Please note: While I have always respected our Military and always will; and I do believe in the Reagan mantra of “Peace through Strength.” I have always and will always questioned the legality the so-called Patriot Act. -Pat

Video:

Transcript Via The American Conservative:

If Americans needed another reminder of why the Democratic Party is absolutely worthless, they got it during last week’s Patriot Act extension debate when Senate Majority leader Harry Reid again behaved exactly like the Bush-era Republicans he once vigorously opposed. In 2005, Reid bragged to fellow Democrats, “We killed the Patriot Act.” Today, Reid says that anyone who opposes the Patriot Act might be responsible for the killing of Americans. Dick Cheney now hears an echo and Americans deserve congressional hearings—as to whether Harry Reid is a sociopath, mere liar, or both.

But while Democrats stand pat for Bush Republicanism, the GOP now debates the extent to which it will remain the party of Dubya. Tea Party favorites like Senators Rand Paul and Mike Lee and Congressmen Ron Paul, Justin Amash, Allen West and others, all voted against the Patriot Act. To varying degrees, each of these GOP representatives questioned the act’s effectiveness and legality. But unfortunately, most Republicans still won’t ask any questions.

The “War on Terror” that defined and preoccupied Republicans during the Bush era brought with it not only massive government growth and debt, but an unprecedented expansion of extra-constitutional state power, symbolized most famously by the Patriot Act. In the name of national security, government officials could begin wiretapping phones, hacking into email accounts, prying into business records and spying on citizens—all without a warrant and at government officials’ own discretion. Defenders say the Patriot Act did what needed to be done after 9/11. Critics say it did away with the 4th amendment.

Let us say both have a point, and that for arguments sake, both Harry Reid and Dick Cheney are correct in arguing that it is sometimes necessary to surrender our liberties for increased security. Is this still true a decade after 9/11? Will it be true two decades after 9/11? How about three? Have the actions of Osama Bin Laden and his fellow terrorists forever altered our Bill of Rights?

Allegedly, the default position for conservatives is to distrust the government and defer to the Constitution. Concerning the Patriot Act, too many conservatives blindly trust the government at the expense of the Constitution. This type of thinking mirrors the logic of the Left, in which the constitutionality of a big government program like Obamacare is considered irrelevant due to the severity of the problem at hand. The liberal healthcare ends justify the unconstitutional means. This characteristic mentality of the Left is exactly how most of the Right approaches the Patriot Act—though it is an outright rejection of what most conservatives of any generation have held most dear.

Think about it. Conservatives get upset about many things on a regular basis—ACORN corruption, NPR funding, demanding that French fries be renamed “Freedom Fries.” At any given time there is always some new and outrageous rightwing distaste of the week.

But most of these controversies are a speck on a gnat’s ass compared to the damage done to the Constitution by the Patriot Act. For genuine constitutional conservatives, something like NPR funding is undoubtedly wrong but ultimately trivial and peripheral—while the protection of the Bill of Rights is crucial and integral. If George Washington or Thomas Jefferson were alive today, are we to believe that they would be more outraged that: A. The federal government helps fund public radio. B. The federal government snoops on citizens without restraint. Those who answered A. truly don’t understand the mindset of the men who founded this country.

A Republican critic of mine once asked me during a radio broadcast “Jack, can you show me where any American has been harmed due to the Patriot Act?” I replied, “Can you show me where any American has been harmed by Wikileaks?” The caller said he couldn’t, but stated that he believed private individuals shouldn’t haven’t access to private government documents. The gentleman was basically saying that whether or not Wikileaks has hurt anyone to date is irrelevant—the whistleblower outfit shouldn’t be trusted with such power to begin with. I argue the same is true of the federal government. So did the Founding Fathers. That’s why they wrote the 4th amendment.

The entire reason we have a written charter like the Constitution is to specify the enumerated powers that define the hard parameters of our federal government. Among those powers is national defense and security. But much of what we call “defense” is anything but. Similarly, a total police state could undoubtedly provide much better security, though few Americans would desire a country so void of liberty. After all, most Americans can barely tolerate the way the federal government handles air travel these days.

When Ronald Reagan said there was nothing closer to eternal life on this earth than a government program he could have easily been describing the Patriot Act. When Barry Goldwater said that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” he could have easily been describing the minority of Republicans who now at least question the Patriot Act. When James Madison wrote, “Of all the enemies to public liberty, war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded because it comprises and develops the germ of every other,” he could have easily been describing our current state of perpetual war that now gives seemingly permanent life to the Patriot Act.

If the “War on Terror” is a perpetual war—as so many politicians readily contend—have we now permanently given up our liberties? If terrorists really do “hate us for our freedoms” is the best method of defeating them to permanently surrender our historic freedoms? And if so, who is really winning the War on Terror? Us or the terrorists?

By the very nature of their philosophy, conservatives are supposed to question their government. And given the very nature of our Constitution, this is precisely how the Founders would expect any true patriot to act.

Jack Hunter began his punditry career in the late 1990’s when a friend and popular alternative rock disc jockey agreed to let Jack air his political views during the afternoon drive on 96 Wave (96.1 WAVF) in Charleston, South Carolina.

Creating the moniker the “Southern Avenger,” which was borrowed from popular 90’s conservative talk radio host Ken “The Black Avenger” Hamblin, Jack assumed an anonymous super hero/ pro-wrestler persona, and entertained FM rock audiences with his antics and conservative political views until his departure from 96 Wave in 2007.

In 2007, Jack began working for WTMA 1250 AM talk radio in Charleston and began writing a column for the Charleston City Paper, that city’s premiere alternative weekly. Jack also began producing his popular video podcasts around this time, and today his You Tube Channel has received over two million views. Today, you can find Jack’s videos and columns as part of “TAC TV” at The American Conservative magazine (www.amconmag.com).

Jack is a frequent guest host for The Mike Church Show on Sirius/XM’s Patriot channel and is a frequent guest on “The Savage Nation” with nationally syndicated talk radio host Michael Savage. His writing has appeared at The American Spectator, Lewrockwell.com, CampaignforLiberty.com and in Young American Revolution, the official magazine of the youth activist organization Young Americans for Liberty, to which he is also a contributing editor. Jack also assisted Sen. Rand Paul with his book The Tea Party Goes to Washington, released by Center Street in February, 2011.

This is why I do not like Andrew Breitbart

Because of stuff like this here; when I first heard about all of this, I figure Breitbart had his hands in it, and I was right.

Friday evening I logged onto Twitter to find that I had about a dozen new mentions in less than an hour, which is a rare occurrence. When I checked one of the posts that I had been tagged in I saw that it was a picture that had supposedly been tweeted to me by Congressman Anthony Weiner.

The account that these tweets were sent from was familiar to me; this person had harassed me many times after the Congressman followed me on Twitter a month or so ago. Since I had dealt with this person and his cohorts before I assumed that the tweet and the picture were their latest attempts at defaming the Congressman and harassing his supporters.

Annoyed, I responded with something along the lines of “are you f***ing kidding me?” and “I’ve never seen this. You people are sick.” I blocked their accounts, made my page private, and let the matter drop, expecting them to eventually do the same.

Within about an hour, however, I realized that I had grossly underestimated the severity of the situation that I had somehow become a part of.

The last 36 hours have been the most confusing, anxiety-ridden hours of my life. I’ve watched in sheer disbelief as my name, age, location, links to any social networking site I’ve ever used, my old phone numbers and pictures have been passed along from stranger to stranger.

My friends have received phone calls from people claiming to be old friends of mine, attempting to obtain my contact information. My siblings have received tweets that are similar in nature. I began taking steps, though not quickly enough, to remove as much personal information from the Internet as possible.

Not because I “was exposed as Weiner’s mistress” or because I “was responsible for the hack,” as Gawker has suggested. I removed my information because I, believe it or not, do not enjoy being harassed or being the reason that my loved ones are targets of harassment.

via Statement from Gennette Cordova, student who was sent lewd Twitter photo from Rep. Weiner’s account.

Understandably, people are ticked about this; and rightfully so. If I were Weiner, I would be wanting to knock Andrew Breitbart’s teeth out, right about now. Which is something that should have happened long ago, in my humble opinion. (…and it can be done for the right price too! Anthony Weiner! Call me! For the right price, I can fix the problem.)   

Reactions on my side are, admittedly predictable and on the left as well.

Think Al-Qaeda is done? Think again, they’re in Yemen

In this thread here yesterday, some idiot did a drive by and claimed that Al-Qaeda did not exist. I deleted it, because it sounded so stupid. I wish now that I kept it. Anyhow, here we go:

(CNN) — Yemeni security forces abandoned a key coastal city to Islamic militants, residents of the city told CNN Sunday, while a powerful rebel tribe kept up pressure on the government in the capital.

“The militants are everywhere and we cannot leave our homes,” said a resident of the city of Zinjibar, east of Aden.

“They suddenly arrived and in large numbers. There were no clashes when they arrived on Friday night. We tried to complain to security forces but could not find them,” said the resident, who asked not to be named for security reasons.

By Saturday, “hundreds” of masked militants controlled the main streets of the city, locals said.

Abyan province, where Zinjibar is located, is a hotbed of Islamic militancy in Yemen, a country which has become a key battleground against al Qaeda.

via Islamic militants seize Yemen city, locals say – CNN.com.

I crack up at the libertarians that say, “Al-Qaeda does not exist, it is invention of the U.S. Government!” All the while smoking their dope and waving their silly Ron Paul signs. I got one thing to say about that; tell that to the people living in this city in Yemen okay? Because right now, a whole bunch of people there are scared shitless and are worrying about whether these Islamic fascists will kill them or not.

I will concede one point; President George W. Bush royally screwed up, when trying to fight this war. Bush should have directed ALL of our forces into the Afghan region and fought these bastards until the very last one dropped dead. But, he didn’t. Instead the President, then, listened to his intelligence people; who supposedly had information that Saddam had WMD’s and was giving comfort to the enemy, namely Al-Qaeda. That intelligence came from Germany and one guy named “Curveball,” and the United States and yes, Bush ate it up and off we went. As as result of that, Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and that war in general were left to fester and grow.

Now, as much as I would like to harp on the above and really lay into Bush for that mistake, I cannot. That part of history is over. We cannot continue to lay blame at a man’s feet, who is no longer in office. We cannot go back and change history, what is done, is done. I can however, point out that if Bush had fought this war properly to start with, we would most likely not be in this position now.

Now, we are at the place, that we are; Obama ordered the taking out of Osama Bin Laden; most likely with the assumption that Al-Qaeda would die off. The problem with that is this; OBL was simply a figure-head anymore. The day-to-day stuff was being carried out by others and he was widely disconnected from the “Front Lines” of the operation.  With the exception of the information carried by the carriers, OBL was just a figure-head.

I said all that above to get to this point here; anyone that believes that Al-Qaeda is not still a threat to this great Republic of ours; is a damned fool and is living in some sort of fantasy land. As someone who was almost frozen with fear on 9/11, especially when it was announced that there was plane en route to the White House. I remember that fear, and even though I am not a big fan of Nation Building and occupation; I do realize that the War on terror is a very real thing and we must not allow these bastards to gain any ground at all. As someone who watched those images on 9/11 and proceeding days and was almost driven to suicide over it. I must object to the notion that this war on terror is not winnable. Those bastards inflicted more than just physical destruction on the United States, they inflicted emotional distress on the United States as well; and for that, those fucking bastards must pay and pay dearly. Al-Qaeda and its affiliates MUST BE DESTROYED AT ALL COSTS!

Those who died on 9/11 deserve that justice and those of us, who survived the madness and the images that followed it; DEMAND IT!

If anyone reading this, thinks that because I feel this way, that I am some sort of Jewish Neo-Conservative; then by golly, when it comes to this subject and any subject related to the defense of the Republic of United States of America, I AM A DAMNED NEO-CONSERVATIVE AND ANYONE WHO LOVES THIS COUNTRY SHOULD BE TOO!

That…..is all.

Adam Kokesh attempts a flash mob at Jefferson memorial and gets his tail kicked and arrested by the D.C. Police

Call me one of the responsible ones.

Some who follows me on twitter, named “zacorbett” sent me a link to a video earlier; and being the anti-big Government person that I am, I was quite shocked at what I saw.

Here’s the video:

You say, “How Horrible!”

Well, hold the phone a minute. Let me give you some context here.

The dude that organized this “flash mob” that ended up getting a bunch of people arrested was none other than Adam Kokesh. Yeah, THAT Adam Kokesh! The same damned leftist Adam Kokersh that opposed the Iraq War, and is a fiery leftist; who lies about every damned thing under the sun; including his Military career.

Apparently, some people that he is friendly with; were arrested a while back for “Dancing” at the Jefferson Memorial in D.C. Well. ol’ leftist Kokesh did not like that one bit. So, he and friends tried a flash mob today at the Jefferson Memorial and you know what? The moronic douche-nozzles got arrested again!

Quite frankly, I hope the D.C. police puts that idiot, UNDER the damn jail and keeps him there for a very long time.

I do not believe in a police state, I really do not. But I do support our Military and I also believe in the concept of “rule of law” and I also believe that when you pull little stunts like this and you happen to get arrested and in the process you get your ass kicked by the police; then that is just too fucking bad. Sorry, Adam Kokesh, you will get no support from this blogger mostly likely no one else either. Except, maybe for the supporters of the pseudo-Conservative Ron Paul.

Sorry guys, but this idiot and his friends, got just what was coming to them….. JAIL.

For the record, I am referring to this posting here.

I was looking at that posting, when I spotting something, rather… odd.

I want to share this video, but first a few thoughts of my own…

Over the course of my blogger career here, I have written repeatedly about the Internationalist Democrats, who have sold the American Worker up the river on more than one occasion.  President Bill Clinton did it, with the signing of the NAFTA and TAFTA agreements and now President Barack Obama is doing it with exporting oil from Brazil.  The problem is, Obama wants to fight against the American oil companies and their monopoly on the prices of gas.  In the process of this, he is tossing under the bus, the most important part of his own base —- The American Worker.

Honestly, If President Obama wants to do something to lower gas prices, then maybe he should put pressure on the OPEC cartel and start demanding that they lower prices of oil, further more; President Obama should start going after the oil speculators, who drive up the cost of oil.  Again, it is another example of how Internationalist Democrats fight battles, exactly backwards of how they should be fought.  This video proves that.

To my Democratic Party friends — this is whom you elected in 2008.

Soquel Students Suspended for White Supremacy Claims
Posted: May 26, 2011 1:29 AM EDT Updated: May 26, 2011 1:40 AM EDT
By Azenith Smith – email

SOQUEL, Calif. – Students banned from a Central Coast school for wearing a white t-shirt. On Wednesday, Soquel High School suspended at least two students. The students say it’s because of allegations, they’re part of a white supremacist group.

“All the girls wore pink, all the sports guys wore tank tops,” says Soquel High Senior Mikey Donnelly. “We were all going to wear white so that was the plan. Just wear white t-shirts to identify ourselves and look back and say that was our group of friends right there.”

Soquel High Senior Mikey Donnelly wore a white t-shirt for his senior class photo Tuesday. About 10 of his friends did the same. That decision may seem harmless. But Soquel High suspended Donnelly for three days because of it.

Donnelly said the school told him people were offended and intimidated by his group, claiming they’re a white supremacist gang.

“I do think this is BS,” says Donnelly. “I’m not a white supremacist in any way shape or form. If I did say white power, I would probably say it just as much as I say black power.”

He’s not the only one upset.

“I feel disrespected,” says Soquel High Senior David Mine.

Mine also wore a white t-shirt and was also suspended. He’s missing out on finals and that could jeopardize his graduation.

“I’m Asian,” says Mine. “I don’t see how I can be a white supremacist. I’m against it completely.”

I don’t know about you; but if I were accused of something as stupid as this, if I were not a White Supremacist, I would most likely want to become one or at the very least, I would really begin to rethink my feelings about politics and multiculturalism.

But, this is what happens when political correctness gets out of control. Not to mention, what is wrong with having a “White Pride” group? Blacks have “Black pride” groups; so why the double standard? It is because liberals and some Neo-Conservatives, like to demonize we WASP’s. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) All because of the stupidity of the Southern Democrats of days gone by. We WASP’s will have to carry that guilt card, and demonetization for the rest of time. Just ask Rick Sanchez, Taki Theodoracopulos, Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul.

It is truly a sad state of affairs.

Audio: Laura Ingraham accepts Ed Schultz’s apology

This comes via Laura’s website:

I think she handled this situation with total class. Glenn Beck was right about her, she’s tough and she said so.

Admittedly, the whole Elton John music made me cringe. But, I think Ingraham was trying to lighten the mood. I say she handled this very well, because she could have been a total prick about it and insisted that Schultz be fired. Which she didn’t. For that, I believe she does deserve a little credit. Her point about Don Imus being fired and being dragged through mud is noted and Yes, I do agree with that.

In short: It is a good ending to something that could have been much uglier.

Glenn Beck on Ed Schultz’s flub and apology

Here’s Glenn Beck on Schultz’s screw up: (H/T Beck’s Site)

Update: Oh dear, I’ve done went and done the ultimate stupid move. I spelled Beck’s last name wrong in the title. Glenn BACK?!?!? Oh.my…. It’s fixed.. 🙄

Progressive Radio Host Ed Schultz jumps the shark

By now I am sure you have heard about Ed Schultz’s little outburst towards Laura Ingraham.

To review, this is what was said:

Now, personally, I believe people like Mike Malloy and Randi Rhodes have said worse stuff. But, I digress.

Here now is Schultz apologizing for his moment of stupidity:

Now, for my own personal thoughts…:

When I first watched Ed Schultz’s apology, I was not sure what to expect.  However, I watched it, with my not only eyes and ears; I watched it with something that many in this business of partisanship, do not possess any longer — I watched that video with my heart.  I can tell you without any sort of hesitation, that Ed Schultz meant every word of that apology.  He is, most likely, tonight sitting at home, a very broken man.

As someone who has said and done my share of stupid stuff on this blog, I totally feel for the man.  He was “freewheeling,” and Ad-Libbing.  He was caught up in the moment, and decided to hurl in insult at the “other side,” and thought he would use a term in politics called a “Political Whore” or someone who sells his or her soul for the sake of party.

The problem is, he used it towards a woman, and he used “slut” and he did not specify the “political” part —- well, until he already used the term.

In short, He pulled a “Don Imus.”  Oops.

There will be many on my side of the fence and on the other side of the fence that will do the pile on.  I will not be one of those people.  I have watched the apology video and I believe Ed Schultz deserves a reset, and the ability to start over.  As someone noted among these commenter’s here; he might be a Left-winger, but he is a sincere left-winger; and for that, he does deserve a bit of credit.  I also notice a great deal of cynicism over at that site as well, in the comments.  Sorry, I am just not that cynical, I suppose.  I am willing to give the man a break.  I hope that he lives up to it.

If this is not a recession, then what is?

Why can’t they just call this what it is?

The Commerce Department reports that Durable goods orders dropped 3.6% in April, some of the highlights: (H/T HotAir)

New orders for manufactured durable goods in April decreased $7.1 billion or 3.6 percent to $189.9 billion, the U.S. Census Bureau announced today.  This decrease, down two of the last three months, followed a 4.4 percent March increase.  Excluding transportation, new orders decreased 1.5 percent.  Excluding defense, new orders decreased 3.6 percent.  Transportation equipment, also down two of the last three months, had the largest decrease, $4.9 billion or 9.5 percent to $46.7 billion.

Then there is this lovely bit of news:

Inventories of manufactured durable goods in April, up sixteen consecutive months, increased $3.2 billion or 0.9 percent to $350.5 billion.  This was at the highest level since the series was first published on a NAICS basis in 1992 and followed a 1.7 percent March increase.  Transportation equipment, also up sixteen consecutive months, had the largest increase, $1.0 billion or 1.0 percent to $106.1 billion.  This was also at the highest level since the series was first published on a NAICS basis in 1992 and followed a 2.4 percent March increase.

The only thing I can say, without repeating myself; which cannot stand doing, is that Ron Paul might be crazy on Foreign Policy, but Ron Paul is absolutely right, when it comes to fiscal policy.

Here I go, repeating myself…..again!

The fact is, for the millionth time; Whenever excessive currency is injected into the money supply, that money supply becomes devalued, that is inflation. That causes the cost of everything to rise, which causes Businesses bottom line to rise, which causes them to either rid themselves of excess labor costs (read: JOBS) or not take on any new labor costs. That, in turn, causes what you see above. People buy stuff, when they have money; and right now, nobody has any money and the ones who do are hanging on to it for dear life. That is what happens when a bubble bursts and when an Economy collapses.

So, why not call it, for what it really is, a recession? It makes zero sense to continue to deceive the American people.
