This blog is no longer active as of October 31, 2011
I happened to be looking through my logs and spotted this:
Now, sir, I do not know what you are looking for; but I hope you find it. Meanwhile, you might want to look at this:
I hope that will answer all of your questions.
Normally anymore, I do not comment about what is written on other blogs. Mainly because I do not like to get involved in blog wars; because sometimes the outcome is worse than the offense itself. Believe me, I know all about what happens when stuff gets out of hand during blog wars. 🙄
Anyhow, I thought this was a bit….much: (Via someone whom I will never link to directly every again)
I think the thing that pisses me off the most about the birtherism and the coverage is that no one will come out and state that what is obviously motivating this crap is racism. Period. End of story.
If Obama was white, we wouldn’t be politely rebutting lunatics questioning his birth certificate for four fucking years. But because he is black, we can spend tens of thousands of hours listening to drooling idiots wonder whether or not he is a real Murrikan.
It’s really that simple.
Really John? bad thing is; this miserable excuse for an American, used to be a Republican. Glad he left, and wish he would take fucking Megan McCain with him.
Race-Baiting is such a tragic thing; but that is what liberals do, when they are losing the argument.
What is even more eye-popping, is this comment over there:
They would say “Get that Nigger out of the White House” if they could get away with it.
Now if that were said or even remotely alluded to, over at a Conservative blog, like Michelle Malkin’s or over at HotAir; the liberal Blogosphere would be all over it. But, because John Cole is one of the enlightened liberals now, it is perfectly fine.
I guess Dan was right about this guy:
Balloon Juice? Give me a break. Don’t look now, John, but I think the balloon exploded and the juice is running from your lips. Here’s hoping you enjoyed, it c***s*****.
All I did was half-jokingly call you a name you earned. Congratualtions, obviously, it was well deserved.
Indeed. Calling people, like myself; who simply want to see the long form Birth Certificate racists is about the damned stupidest thing I have ever heard. Not to mention using the N-Word like that; but what more is one to expect of the party of Stephen A. Douglas? How ironic is it, that the very party that championed slavery and segregation, is now the same party that wishes to make us into a third world Country. All the while, race-baiting and spewing racist bile in the process. It is like watching a train wreck. You feel guilty for watching, but you really do not want to miss it.
First, go read — I will wait.
Are you finished? Good.
What is my point? This:
This right here above, is why I have my comments section on lock down. Not only do I require people to register, but I also moderate all comments — meaning, I personally read every comment; because of stuff like this right here. Uncontrolled discussion on blogs leads to things being said, like what Charles Johnson quoted.
However, I do wholeheartedly reject the accusation or at least the inferring that all Conservative blogs have become a swamp of hate against Muslims and or Arabs. Furthermore, I reject the inferring that all Conservatives/Classic Liberals/Republicans and Christians hate all Muslims and Arabs. That is collectivism, and it is crap; and I think Johnson is smart enough to know this, I think he is backhanding the blogs mentioned due to his dispute with the persons mentioned.
Having said of that, I do truly believe that there is a minority of persons in the Republican/Conservative/Classic Liberal crowd — who are frankly, bigoted towards Muslims and ultimately Arabs. Unlike some of the empty-headed idiots on the left, I am not going to make the asinine inferring that they are this way by design. What I will do is tell you the truth; what has caused this small but very vocal minority to become this way, is because of the attacks on American soil on September 11, 2001.
President George W. Bush, much to his credit did make the much vital distinction between the war on Terrorism and the war on Islam or Muslims or even Arabs. Not everyone within the conservative circles agreed with him and still does not agree with that mindset to this day; and now that President George W. Bush is out of the picture that vocal minority is becoming louder and much more accepted. I do not like myself; because it just makes the rest of us look bad.
This of course, is what the C.I.A. calls “Blowback.” It is the unintended consequences of actions taken by the United States Government. Most people think of “Blowback” as the angering of the Arab people to cause them to take up arms and commit terrorism against the United States of America – and in fact, it is just that. However, that is just the one side of “Blowback.” The other, more tragic and sinister side of “blowback” is the incitement of racial hatred towards Arabs and the religious hatred towards Muslims in General — including those here in the United States of America.
This reason, along with the laundry list of reasons; is why people like myself, Jack Hunter, Ron Paul, Rand Paul and an ever-growing list of Conservatives and Republicans are beginning to question the role of the United States Government involvement on foreign entanglements in foreign lands.
Of course, anyone with a good knowledge of the history of the United States of America and of American politics can tell you, that this is nothing new at all. In the 1940’s President Franklin Roosevelt, badly wanting to enter into the conflict against the Empire of Japan and against Germany, ordered a blockade of oil from South America that was headed to Japan. This act by the President plunged Japan into desperation caused Japan to fly across the Atlantic and attack America’s interests in the Republic of Hawaii. At the time however, Americans were not made aware of the fact that President Roosevelt had done this, as it was kept quiet by the Government. However, there were people who did know about it. Winston Churchill was one of those people, and in fact, Churchill warned FDR that doing such things would cause some sort of backlash from the Japanese and, as history shows, he was correct. The sick and sad part is; to this very day, there are people who still believe that the Empire of Japan attacked the United States for no reason at all.
How this ties into the modern-day events is this; back in 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States Government set up internment camps throughout the United States for the Japanese people. It is very widely believed that the decision to do this, by the United States Government was brought on by or at the very least fueled Anti-Japanese sentiment in this Country for years, even after the war. Sadly, there are Conservatives, of whom I will not name; that actually advocated the interment of Muslims and Arab Americans — after the attacks on 9/11. Thankfully, the Bush Administration did not listen to the foolish ranting of the people who wrote those books.
My point is the following: Conservatives who believe that foreign policy interventionism is wrong, need to take a stand against the internationalist Democrats and the Neo-Conservative foreign policy interventionists and take control of the Republican Party and possibly the Democratic Party away from these warmongers. Because as long as the United States continues to wage war against Nations that have never really attacked it, this sort of hatred and bigotry will continue. It is simply the doctrine of “Cause and Effect.” Nothing ever happens for any reason at all. It is tragically sad, that the United States and its political parties and their legions of sheep followers, have not figured that simple kernel of truth out.
You say, “What about protecting the Republic?” I do not have a problem with that. However, there is a Grand Canyon difference in protecting the Republic and protecting the empire of America; and wise is the person who knows the difference between the two. Declaring unconstitutional wars and military actions against Nations who have not attacked us; is not defending or protecting the Republic; but rather defending the empire of America and playing useful idiot to foreign lands. I hope that someday, the grassroots of both of these parties will wrestle control away from these people. However, if one is to base his hopes on the Republican Party — their recent actions — make that hope, nothing more than a pipe-dream.
Read the story over at Ian Dennis Miller’s Blog.
What a damned joke; no wonder dead-wood media is dying! 🙄
The reason I am not very well liked in the Conservative Blogosphere, is because I dare to write stuff like this. I am sorry, but if this below is what the Far-Right in America is all about; then consider me to be a bit more moderate. Sorry, but this is just wrong, on many levels:
The First Amendment was written by the Founders to protect the free exercise of Christianity. They were making no effort to give special protections to Islam. Quite the contrary. We actually at the time were dealing with our first encounters with jihad in the form of the Barbary Pirates, which is why Jefferson bought a copy of the Koran. He was told by the Bey of Tripoli that Islam requires Muslims to rob, kill and pillage infidel Christians wherever they find them. Jefferson naturally found that hard to believe, so he bought a copy of the Koran to read it for himself. Sure enough, it’s right in there, in the 109 verses of the Koran that call for violence against the infidels. Islam has no fundamental First Amendment claims, for the simple reason that it was not written to protect the religion of Islam. Islam is entitled only to the religious liberty we extend to it out of courtesy. While there certainly ought to be a presumption of religious liberty for non-Christian religious traditions in America, the Founders were not writing a suicide pact when they wrote the First Amendment. Our government has no obligation to allow a treasonous ideology to receive special protections in America, but this is exactly what the Democrats are trying to do right now with Islam.
via Bryan Fischer: Islam and the First Amendment: privileges but not rights – RIGHTLYCONCERNED.COM.
What you are seeing above; is nothing more than racial and religious bigotry. What if you took out the words Islam and Muslims; and put in the words Jews or Catholics —– or even the word Negros? There would be a massive outcry of Biblical proportions. But because it is some so-called “Christian” speaking of Muslims, it is perfectly fine. 🙄 Wait, What? As I have said before; religious and racial bigotry are wrong; no matter whom is doing it and/or whom the victims are — whether it be black, Jew, latino and whatever else. Whenever we try to pit one against another; whether by class, race, or even Religion — we undermine the very basis for what this Country was founded upon.
If that was not bad enough; we have this pony-tailed idiot here, trying to smear ALL Republicans or Conservatives as agreeing with the guy:
Charles Foster Johnson, doing what he does best... Spouting Bullcrap!
Alright Johnson, I am not letting you get away with this one. How dare you smear me!?!?! It just so happens that I voted libertarian in the 2008 election and for the very first time; since I have been eligible to vote, I actually voted Republican in the 2010 elections. (Much to the chagrin of my Democratic Party voting parents….) I want it to be publicly known; that I DO NOT AGREE at all, with this man’s opinion about Islam or Muslims. I personally believe that the first amendment applies to ALL, not just some; but everyone. Indeed, I have expressed reservations about Radical Islam. However, I disagree with the assertion that ALL Muslims are terrorists. That is nothing more than bigotry. I think Charles Johnson knows better than this; however, I believe he is trying to appeal to his reading audience. It is too bad too, because when you do this, you lose whatever credibility you ever had.
Now, let me be clear; I do agree with the fact that some people in the Republican Party do cater to this guy; and it is quite sad. However to imply or out right say that everyone who votes Republican agrees with these extremist views — is quite idiotic.
I think Charles Johnson needs to rethink collectivist stance a bit. Because it is making him look an an utter buffoon.

No matter where you sit on the political fence; this is quite interesting.
They don’t call her super woman for nothing! 😀
Ya know, I am all for Bloggers exercising the right to control comments. BUT!
This strikes me as awfully lame of those guys.

UPDATE: Farley wrote a new post to say thanks for the link. I’m not going to link to it though, because I’m not going to link to them again. I hope they note all the traffic they are getting from here, because they’re not getting any more. Of course, they will continue with their dumb attacks on me. But they’ve cut off the man who defends me from them, so I’ve got to cut them off too.
Um, Ann? You could send the traffic to me. I mean, I am an unemployed person and I could use the extra revenue. You know, seeing jobs around this area here are a bit sparse and all. Seeing that I do use the revenue from this blog to buy my medicine, because I don’t have any health insurance and really don’t like having to ask the folks for any money. Certainly a Conservative like her, who believes in self-reliance and such could understand that.
But… I don’t think that I am entitled to it or anything. It just would be nice. 😀
Once again, Neo-Conservative political correctness has struck over at HotAir.com.
Ed Morrissey, who is usually a pretty reasonable person; posts this blog posting, where Bill Maher basically insults Sarah Palin. I don’t dare directly link there anymore; because I just do not need the troubles.
Now everyone knows, I am not a Sarah Palin fan. I never have been. Well, I said as much, in politically incorrect terms, of course in this comment thread over there. I also mentioned the fact, that Bill Maher, who is Jewish by birth; is an asshole. Everyone knows this. I also mentioned Allen Grayson, who is also Jewish and an Asshole, not to mention mentally challenged.
Anyhow, I said as much over there and the “ban hammer” was swung, and I am not allowed to comment.
But what got me the most was this comment by Mr. Morrissey:
This right here, is just straight up B.S.
…..of course the little leftist coward, once contacted by a Conservative Media outlet, tries to back peddle.
Now, keep in mind; I do not claim to be a “Law Expert,” not by a long shot; but this right here, sounds like a terrorist threat to me. Here’s his outing of himself; go read.
Here’s his picture:
Jim Shankman is the grinning Homo on the left. (How Ironic!)
If I were Shankman; I would be seriously looking over my shoulder, because I happen to believe that there is a thing called consequences of action. You write something stupid like that; you reap the consequences of your stupid actions.
As I told Dan on his blog — I did some digging here; via some tools of mine and the name Jim Shankman turns up nil in Madison, Wisconsin. Whoever this dude is; he should be tossed in jail for making threats via the internet. Much has changed over the past 20 or so years. Threatening someone over the ‘net, is as bad actually doing something to someone personally now.
I also read, that he is unemployed. Big surprise there. 🙄 He can count on staying unemployed; because the first time some employer looks this guy up on Google, this will come up. Especially on my blog. Thank the Lord for SEO plug-ins for WordPress. 😀 Don’t misunderstand me; I am not exactly gainfully employed either; but I do not go around protesting and threatening Conservative Bloggers either! If I had the guys address; I would be posting it here. As someone’s who’s been outed before. I have no problem outing this idiot. Unlike me, he actually deserves it.
Now this is a shock, well, sort of and sort of not.

Two Charged in Tea Party Election Fraud: MyFoxDETROIT.com
The Story via Fox 2 Detroit:
PONTIAC, Mich. (WJBK) – Two former leaders of the Oakland County Democratic Party are facing a total of nine felonies for allegedly forging election paperwork to get fake Tea Party candidates on November’s ballot.
“It is not a partisan statement, and we need to make that very clear,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper.
Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations Director Jason Bauer face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.
“Some of the people didn’t even know they were on the ballot till they began receiving delinquency notices of filings that were required as a candidate,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
The sheriff says 23 statewide races had questionable Tea Party candidates on the ballot and the investigation may go beyond Oakland County.
“It was learned that a scheme was developed by a party leader in Lansing to place on the ballot people pretending to be Tea Party activists and that this was going to be a statewide effort,” Bouchard said.
John Tramontana, a spokesperson for the state Democratic Party, told FOX 2 that this was not a state party issue and it’s not our place to comment.
“What we have here is illegal. It’s forgery. It’s fraud. It’s perjury. It’s those things. Then you cross a different line,” said Bouchard.
It’s not illegal to be a non-serious candidate. That’s not what’s being alleged here. What is being alleged is that the people that were on the ballot were phony candidates and that they got there by fraudulent means. That’s the crime.
InstaPundit, Gateway Pundit and Moe Lane all note, that both of these idiots were liberal bloggers from the Detroit area.
The only thing, as a former left of center blogger, that I can truly say about this one is; this is what happens when you get sucked into the mentality that the Democratic Party is above the law. This is what happened when President Obama was elected. The Democrats and the left in general decided that they could anything they wanted; and the right would not able to stop them. There is only one little problem with that; and that is there is that little pesky thing called rule of law and election laws, and it seems these little crap weasels got caught. Serves ’em right for being that damned stupid to try and pull a fast one.
I hate to be the one to say this; but I believe this is only the beginning of things that are going to come to light here in the new few years. Not only here in the Michigan regional area; but all over the United States. I believe that there are going to be all kinds of these little cases, where Democrats happen to think they can get away with stuff like this. Because it “happens to be their year,” and investigators come along and find the violations and they get nailed. Remember President Obama has stepped on a good number of toes here in the last election. Believe me when it tell you; that stuff always comes back to haunt you. Somewhere, someone is going to find themselves in a tight spot with the law, someday — and when they do, they are going to sing like a canary and that is when this whole grand scheme of getting a black man elected to the White House is going to come unraveled and when it does; it ain’t going to be pretty friends — not at all.
It is just a shame that this little crime had to happen in my State. We have a enough problems here; without two jackasses making us all look crooked here. 😡
There is nothing like a nice blog fight….and for once, I am not involved! 😀 😛 😉 😆 😯
You can read it here, here, here, here, and here.

I mean, McCain may as well have said, that the only good place for Sarah Palin and women in general; are on their knees and on their backs! He would most likely gotten the same reaction too! 🙄 Jeez.
I might critize the Neo-Con right, and yes, that does include the Zionist crowd. But even I won’t go there on Feminism; at least not very loudly! Because I have found in my blogging experience, that talking and criticizing that subject; is like stepping on a landmine. It will always blow up in your face and it always ends up being messy as hell.
I feel about Feminism, like I do about the Homo crowd; if those chicks wanna do the bloody tampon dance; by all means, let ’em do it. As long as they don’t get any on me. Let ’em be. I always say. You will have less headaches, and obviously piss less people off.
……and if there is anyone that knows all about having the world pissed at you; it’s me. Trust me. I know. 😯
Well, good ol’ Reddit won’t have me to kick around anymore….
They’ve officially decided to enforce their very selective rules and ban me from submitting links there.
Thanks Reddit for forcing me now to have to mooch off my folks to be able to get my medication for A.D.H.D.!
The traffic helped me in that aspect; and now, I do not have that any longer.
I realize that Reddit is not obligated to carry my links; they are a private entity, not the Government.
I will still be able to use facebook and twitter for promotion.
If someone happens to click on reddit from the “Share This” button, at the end of each posting, so be it. But I will not be doing it anymore.
Eh, them are the breaks, I guess.
This is a bit of a heads up; it appears that Russian hackers are on the prowl again. They are basically targeting Conservative blogs here in America. Michelle Malkin announced that she had be hacked.
This info is for those who run self-hosting blogs, if you are on WordPress.com or Blogger.com or yes, even at Typepad; you have zero to worry about. However, if you are self hosed or run WordPress at your own domain; you need to add the following to your .HTACCESS file.

We Conservatives should expect an uptick in hacking attempts on Conservative Blogs as time progresses here and Obama’s agenda falls apart. Expect to see progressive hackers to try and bring down Conservative blogs. To avoid charges; they will employ hackers from third world Countries and countries; like Russia, to do their bidding.
Another thing to remember; if you are running WordPress on your own Server; YOU MUST KEEP THE SOFTWARE UPDATED AT ALL TIMES! Otherwise, you are basically a moving open target! If you access the back end of your blog; which you should, at least once a week — and you see a notice to upgrade, DO IT! Don’t just look at the damned notice. Quickest way is this:
1. Disable ALL Plug-ins
2. Hit upgrade button
3. Turn on all plug ins and look for errors.
If you see errors and you know how to fix ’em, then do so, if you don’t, either get rid of the plug in, which is now doable via WordPress back end; or look for a newer plug in via WordPress’s plug in repository. Really, losing an few year’s worth of work, is NOT worth a silly plug in that is outdated and not being supported any longer.
I also recommend this plug in for wordpress, that limits logins to your site. There is also a plugin that will do a security scan on your blog as well. I use it and I think you should too. I also recommend that you read this here, on how to “harden” WordPress. against attacks.
Folks, it’s all about being smart about this sort of stuff. We can out wit the hackers, we just have to know how.
I like these guys; but when they resort to lies, I most expose them.
Ron Paul gave an interview with the News Real Blog, which is owned by the Neo-Conservative goon David Horowitz; who also, by the way, was a former far-leftist. Some would argue that he still is. Anyhow, It appears that this blog wanted to do a follow up.
Here is what Ron Paul really said about Israel:
NRB: David Horowitz and others have been critical of the effect that your foreign policy would have upon Israel… How would you describe a libertarian vision for alliance that could support democracies where people want to determine their own course while under threat by external forces?
Ron Paul: We’ve been involved a long time, since World War II, especially since we’ve inherited or developed our empire. We strongly supported all the dictators that surround Israel, and sometimes we buy peace and pay for it. But it’s unstable. And that instability has always been a threat to Israel. Now, when it’s coming apart, and our financial system’s coming apart, Israel is in worse shape than ever because of our so-called protection.
I believe in non-intervention. I believe we should treat all other countries alike, and that we should be friends. Israel is very, very powerful. If we weren’t in there, they could do what they want to protect themselves, and they wouldn’t have to ask us permission, and we would never have to be dragged in if something happens over there. I think they’d be much better off, and that would be a constitutional position.
NRB: Is there a point where the existence of Israel being under threat would compel even a libertarian to take action to protect her?
Paul: First off, they’re under threat because we’re there. We’re a greater threat to them, and our polices, because they have assumed that we’ll [intervene] if they don’t do the right things for themselves.
I don’t know of anybody who can militarily threaten them. They have 300 nuclear weapons. Nobody’s gonna touch them. This notion that we have to support them over the Palestinians – we shouldn’t favor one over the other. It’s a very different problem over there. If you’re a Palestinian-American, you might not like [America’s position on Israel]. I’m not saying you should support the Palestinian side or the Israeli side. I’m saying let them work it out.
…and what does HotAir.com put in their headlines as what Ron Paul said? This:
Ron Paul: We shouldn’t favor Israel over the Palestinians
Thus proving what I have believed about Neo-Conservatives since I have been blogging. That nothing matters to them, as long as the agenda of defending Israel to the death is followed —– even telling the truth. Ron Paul simply said, “Treat them all the same.” The way that headline was written, one would think Paul was anti-Israel or even Anti-Semitic. To be fair, I disagree with this part here myself:
I believe in non-intervention. I believe we should treat all other countries alike, and that we should be friends. Israel is very, very powerful. If we weren’t in there, they could do what they want to protect themselves, and they wouldn’t have to ask us permission, and we would never have to be dragged in if something happens over there. I think they’d be much better off, and that would be a constitutional position.
The problem here is, there are more Arab nations and Israel is one small Country. If all these Arabs Nations were to decide to gang up on Israel; the results would disastrous. Now that, would not be a good thing to any normal, sane, rational person. That is, unless you are some sort of White Nationalist or Jew-Hater — and a good amount of Ron Paul followers are Jew-Haters, Conspiracy Kooks and just plain old weirdos. I personally, if Ron Paul were running, would not vote for him. Ron Paul is not going to run to actually win the election; he is running to spread his message. Some of Ron Paul’s biggest supporters admitted that to me. Plus, I do not agree with Paul’s strict isolationism.
My point here is this; I can understand someone not agreeing with Ron Paul’s policy stance; but when you resort to writing bogus headlines to make someone look like someone that they are not, you lose any sort of credibility. I also will say that HotAir is not the only blog to do this; it happens everywhere in the right wing Blogosphere. I try and shy away from that. Link baiting is a easy cheap way of getting hits. But the harder way is to write good content; I try to stay with the latter.
Good ol’ AllahPundit writing about this rather funny story here; says this:
The good news: There’s now a major RINO vacancy in primetime. Dude, this could be my moment.
via Bad news: Kathleen Parker leaving “Parker/Spitzer” « Hot Air.
Yeah, the guy who’s got, what? Like 13 fatwas against him for the stuff he wrote on that old blog of his?
I could see that now…. “Hi, I am AllahPundit, your half homo, candy assed RINO, Alpha-Male and I’d like to tell you sweet little lies for an hour.” 😉
Yeah, that would work. 🙄
jeez…
Geez, First Glenn Beck, now this guy.
Good ol’ Glenn Reynolds, supposedly a law professor in Tennessee; although conversely, he does more blogging, than teaching, if you ask me. Uses this horrible story of a woman, who was found dead in a office cubical to make a cheap political point.
UNLIKE WISCONSIN, AT LEAST SHE SHOWED UP FOR WORK: L.A. County Employee Dead in Cubicle a Day Before Being Noticed.
Classy, real classy…. Is it any wonder that I try and put as many miles between these idiots and myself?
Pathetic, Absolutely damned pathetic. 😡
Anyone who would think something as assinine as that, would be actually funny; is either one of two things:
1. Morally depraved
2. An asshole.
I’ll let you decide which one Glenn Reynolds is.
….and they wonder why I will not come to CPAC and the rest of their little clique meetings.
Seeing this is the biggest story out there:
“60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by thugs yelling, “Jew! Jew!” as she covered the chaotic fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo’s main square Friday, CBS and sources said yesterday.
The TV crew with Logan, who is also the network’s chief foreign correspondent, had its cameras rolling moments before she was dragged off — and caught her on tape looking tense and trying to head away from a crowd of men behind her in Tahrir Square.
“Logan was covering the jubilation . . . when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration,” CBS said in a statement. “It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy.
“In the crush of the mob, [Logan] was separated from her crew. She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.
“She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning,” the network added. “She is currently in the hospital recovering.”
A network source told The Post that her attackers were screaming, “Jew! Jew!” during the assault. And the day before, Logan had told Esquire.com that Egyptian soldiers hassling her and her crew had accused them of “being Israeli spies.” Logan is not Jewish.
I guess I am supposed to feel sorry for her. Sorry, nope, I just cannot muster the pity for her. You lie with dogs, you get fleas. Just that damned simple.
This is what happens when liberals make alliances with the Muslim Brotherhood.
Further more, this is what happens when the United States props up dictators. It is called blowback, it is a CIA term. There will be more of it, trust me.

In this space, before I post this video; I usually post a disclaimer, because usually, I do not agree with some of the content and ideas presented in this Video report. However, this week, I am going to forgo the disclaimer. Because a good ninety percent of what is presented here, I absolutely agree with and besides, nothing gives me more joy, than to watch freedom-loving Americans making Neo-Conservative fascists look like the damn fools that they are. Yes, it warms the cackles of my stone cold heart to see those who wish to sell our freedoms out to the altar of “Security” made to look like buffoons.
Very well done gents, very, very, well done. 😀
Having said all that —- here is the synopsis and Video….
Synopsis: In this special CPAC expanded edition of the Reality Report, we go face to face with Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Newt Gingrich and present the highlights (and lowlights)! ; Gary Franchi runs into former Saturday Night Live star, Victoria Jackson, and interviews CPAC Chair David Keene about the Defender of the Constitution Award. Gary also meets with Jesse Benton, Ron Paul’s Communications Director, to give you the inside scoop on the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign. Jeff Frazee from Young Americans for Liberty joins the show to tell us how he got turned on to Ron Paul’s message. We meet with Congresswoman Nan Hayworth from New York’s 19th district to ask her about her vote for the Patriot Act. We also ask Ron Paul supporters what it is about his message that inspires them. We also take you to the Jordan Page after party for the release of his new album titled “Liberty”. Angie returns to deliver the headlines with a special report on the Young Americans for Freedom and Truth Squad.TV’s confrontation. We’ll read your email, review last week’s poll results and brand a new enemy of the state.

Gutless C*cksucker?!?!?!?
Wow… 😮
Go read that…. and they call me harsh on here? HA! 🙄
He might as well have lost Walter Cronkite!
The Thrill is Gone for Sully!
But the core challenge of this time is not the cost of discretionary spending. Obama knows this; everyone knows this. The crisis is the cost of future entitlements and defense, about which Obama proposes nothing. Yes, there’s some blather. But Obama will not risk in any way any vulnerability on taxes to his right or entitlement spending to his left. He convened a deficit commission in order to throw it in the trash. If I were Alan Simpson or Erskine Bowles, I’d feel duped. And they were duped. All of us who took Obama’s pitch as fiscally responsible were duped.
The cynical political calculation is obvious and it is well put by Yglesias and Sprung. If Obama backs Bowles-Simpson, the GOP will savage him for the tax hikes, while also scaring the wits out of the elderly on Medicare. The Democratic left – just look at HuffPo today – will have a cow. Indeed, if Obama backs anything, the GOP will automatically oppose him. He has to wait for a bipartisan agreement which he can then gently push ahead. But that’s exactly why we are in this situation today. Because no president has had the balls to deal with it, and George W. Bush made it all insanely worse. Sprung says the proposal on corporate taxes is a trial balloon

I will not really get into all this; all I know is, we are in a crap load of debt, which is more then out entire Gross Domestic Product. Now, like some Right-Wing blogs, I am not going to sit here, like a chump and tell you it is all the Democrats fault. The truth is both parties are guilty of this nonsense of spending money we do not have; and now both parties are acting like total buffoons, instead actually trying to get it down. Which is not totally surprising.
However, I do find it mildly amusing that the same blogger, who was essentially Barack Obama’s poodle dog during the 2008 election cycle is now the first blogger to come out swinging against him. Which proves my theory entirely of the fact that liberals, which is what Sully is, not a Conservative; are just not much loyal to the one’s that they elect. My opinion? Sure, that is what I do here. However, based upon what I have been seeing in the left wing media in this day and age; my opinion not that very far off.
Having said all of that….. CUE THE MUSIC! HIT IT B.B.!

I was looking through my logs. I have much interesting visitors around here.
You should be able to look at it.
You are not supposed to link to me, remember?
Your boyfriend and Michelle Malkin fan boy told you not to. Remember?
Just sayin’ 🙄
…or did you finally cure yourself of being a fucking yellow bellied coward? Like the rest of your asshole Neo-Con friends…
No, I haven’t forgotten about it and yes, I am still pissed off about it.
Idiot Charles Johnson clone. Your traffic is not wanted here; so, quit linking to me. 😡
Friends like that, I can live without.
I know it is a liberal Blog; but you know what? It’s a blog and when one goes down, I believe the Blogosphere suffers.
Sort of a shock to me; I used to read this blog quite a bit.
Anyhow, here’s the sad news:
I have some sad news. After nearly four years in operation, today will be the final day Open Left publishes new content.
The site will not disappear, and all published content will remain online, but after today we will cease producing new content.
As the people who founded the site, myself included, moved on to other projects, we have gradually run out of money to maintain operations. It is a difficult decision, but we kept going for as long as we could.
I am, and always will be proud of the work we did here. I am, and will always be grateful to everyone who supported, visited, and participated in the site.
No matter what, the inside-outside fight we engaged for progressive change at Open Left will continue in other venues, even though this blog is about to close. The movement is much bigger than one blog.
Farewell posts will run throughout the day. Thank you, so much, to everyone.
Centrist Blog Donklephant is not buying it:
Wait…what?
Open Left is run on Soap Blox, which is a blogging platform and hosting service. The blog platform appears to be free and the most expensive hosting costs $40 a month. Sure, there are add ons, but Open Left doesn’t get a ton of traffic. They say they’re going to keep the website up, so it’ll cost $480 at the most every year. If you add in extra storage and overages every month, maybe it costs $1,000 a year…maybe.
So the idea that it was too costly to maintain the site is hard to swallow. Why didn’t they just throw a fundraiser? Think they could get 100 people to pitch in $10…or more? This is, after all, some of the same readers who rocketed Howard Dean from obscurity to the national stage because he was able to raise a ton of money online.
Bottom line…if they really cared about their readers they’d simply tell them that they can’t pay their writers anymore so content contributions will go down. And that’s assuming they paid their writers in the first place. Many political blogs simply invite people to blog and pay them zip. The platform, readership and communication is enough compensation. Also, I’ve been frank with all of you about content dropping in the down years between elections…and our hosting costs more than what they were paying. Do you see us going away?
Just saying…Chris Bowers and crew could easily keep that site up and post to it when they want to. But they’re not making any money. That’s the reason they’re quitting. Not very “open” if you ask me.
Ben Smith over at politico opines:
There’s been a bit written recently on the death of blogs, and while there will — I hope — remain space for some, there’s little doubt that the online world of politics is no longer limited to this form.
And here’s another harbinger of the shift: Open Left, founded in 2007 campaign by bloggers who often challenged Obama from his left, including Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller, announced today that it’s shutting down.
“No matter what, the inside-outside fight we engaged for progressive change at Open Left will continue in other venues, even though this blog is about to close. The movement is much bigger than one blog,” Bowers writes.
Some of the older blogs on right and left are still thriving, while others — like TPM and the Hot Air bloggers — have worked to turn themselves into broader news platforms. But the form now feels a little quaint.
I will not be your typical partisan — um, pardon the french — asshole and say, “Ha ha! progressive writing is not popular!” No, I will not do that. The truth is, that this economy just sucks wet socks. Because of this, start-ups are feeling the heat. The reason why I feel it, every time a blog goes down is this. I believe in a full rage of political discussion — whether I agree with it….or not. Open left has been around for a very long time. I remember reading it back, when I was still rooting for the other side. That is, before it became rooted in stupidity.
As a Christian; I say to Chris Bowers; I wish you the best.
Hopefully, my readers will understand, that I take no pleasure in, nor do I get any joy about knowing that someone that I disagree with has had to throw the towel in on something that they enjoy.
Update: It seems that they do not feel the same way about me:
Shortly after Kerry’s loss in 2004, at MyDD, Chris wrote “Conservatism is our enemy” which I think is the first time I ever encountered a direct ideological assault on conservatism itself. Along with Phil Agre’s rightly famous essay on the subject, it began me on a road and mission to better understanding this beast. Everything I have learned to date from then continues to bolster Chris’ original thesis. Conservativism is still the primary enemy of progress, justice, fairness and widespread happiness for humanity. It remains a destructive and corrosive force on the institutions of democracy and the single biggest obstacle to world peace.
To which I say the following:
Eh, God Bless ’em. The awesome thing about America is the fact that everyone can have an opinion about Politics and other such subjects, without being worried about someone getting their head peeled. (So to speak…) Not that I agree with that at all. But there was a time, when I felt the same way. Although, I was not quite as vocal about it. Nor did I put my feelings in such terms. Rigid ideologies of that sort get nothing done. Nor are either of the major political ideologies perfect either.
So, again, I say, eh…. God Bless ’em. 😀
Just a short message to the two social conservatives fighting it out with the others at hotair.com.
Come here; you are more than welcomed at my blog. I agree with you guys, 100%!
Here’s an example of how I feel about that subject.
Again, as long as you keep it civil, you are more than welcomed here.

In this issue of the reality report: The Egyptian Revolution triggered a government shutdown of the web. Could it happen here? Is the internet kill switch back on the congressional table? If the Feds shut down the web in the United States how could “We the People” get around the internet blackout? Gary Franchi reveals what tools you need to bypass a Government sponsored internet blockade. In this edition, Ron Paul explains the how the Federal Reserve works outside of congress’ constitutional framework. We also look at Senator Chuck Schumer failing miserably while explaining the three branches of government. Beautiful words are uttered from the lips of the Florida attorney general about Obamacare. President and founder of Freedom Law School, Peymon Montehedeh, gives us the details on this years’ Freedom Conference, and we announce a new action taking place in March. We’ll take a dip into the mailbag, deliver the results of last week’s poll, a viewer brands a new Enemy of the State… and Nina returns to deliver the Headlines from the new Reality Report News Room.
Poor widdle Ed. Actually had to do a little work on the weekend. Poor baby. Way I see it; if Ed cannot handle the responsibility of being a professional blogger; maybe he needs to find another line of work. Always the victim, that is how he plays the game, I guess.
Another thing that really gets me; is that I said what I did and I got banned. But yet, there has been other unsavory things said about Jews on that blog before; so much to the point where an “Hot Air Affiliate” even quit. But yet, I get canned. Double standards much guys? Just sayin’.
I guess that is to be expected; when you have a so-called Conservative Blog, which is written by two people, who’s conservative credentials are less than….Conservative. I mean you have one guy, who is basically living on the Government dole, because of his blind wife, who’s had a transplant of some sort; and yeah, I know, he blames the Insurance company or the Government in some sort of stupid backward defense. I’ve seen those comments. But I do not buy it at all. If you are a Conservative and your living on the Government dole; you are a damned hypocrite. I do not care who you are or what you do for a living.
Then there is this anonymous coward; who is nothing more than a damned Democrat posing as a “Independent.” Ever see Allahpundit post about Hillary? or even some of the liberal commentators at Fox News? I have had some pretty personal information about that guy for a long time. I have sat on it, because AllahPundit is a great blogger and most of the time; barring the times when he likes to slam Ron Paul — I have actually agree with the majority of what he writes there. Not always, but most of the time. I’ve been tempted to release what I know to someone, so that they can out him. However, I really have no malice towards the guy; so I won’t do that.
So, why did I do what I did? Because I could really; and to prove the double standards at HotAir. It has been like that for ages and as along as it is owned and published by people of this sort. It will continue.
For what it is worth, I will leave HotAir up there in the “blogroll” listing. As it is a great place to go for breaking political stuff. It’s just not the place in the world to comment.
