No wonder the AP has went to dogs…

Posted on

Via TPM:

Karl Rove exchanged e-mails about Pat Tillman with Associated Press reporter Ron Fournier, under the subject line “H-E-R-O.” In response to Mr. Fournier’s e-mail, Mr. Rove asked, “How does our country continue to produce men and women like this,” to which Mr. Fournier replied, “The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight.

To his defense:

“I was an AP political reporter at the time of the 2004 e-mail exchange, and was interacting with a source, a top aide to the president, in the The Carpetbagger Report, Gawker, Obsidian Wings, AMERICAblog News, The Jed Report and The Politico course of following an important and compelling story. I regret the breezy nature of the correspondence.”

Yeah, sure he does. 🙄

Living proof that Big Government is out of control Government!

Posted on

(H/T to The Next Right)

Want to see a perfect example of an out of control Government?

Then head on over to Salon.com and read a harrowing tale of a Pilot, who recently flew on a plane.

Unbelievable.

John Henke rightly says:

Many years ago, the Right actively told the story of just how harmful government really was to society. But then Republicans took control of government and we basically stopped telling that story. As a result – and even thought government is far larger – the public and the media pay far less attention to the costs and consequences government; instead, they are clamoring for even bigger government.

He is so right, until this Nation wakes up and realizes the Big Government is NOT solution, we will be in much trouble. It will be up to the Republican Party to to get back to it’s morals of small and limited Government and limited spending. The Globalist agenda and big Government agenda of this President has totally ruined that party. Hopefully people like me, John Henke and many others can bring the Conservatives back to senses and make the realize that the more that gets done, without the Governments help, the better.

Newsbusters Hyperventalites because Chris Matthew……told the truth, for a change!

Posted on

This is too funny, The Republican Conservatives are ticked off, because Chris Matthews told the truth about them, for a change.

On Monday’s “Hardball” Chris Matthews was so upset about the New Yorker’s cover, depicting Barack Obama in a turban and Michelle Obama toting an AK-47, because he feared “the right will be using that as t-shirt material within the next couple of weeks.” –Matthews Worries ‘Right’ Will Turn New Yorker Cover into T-Shirt | NewsBusters.org.

What’s the matter Geoffrey, the truth a little hard to handle? Quite frankly, with all the e-mails floating around, that were started by the Republican Operatives, I’m surpised you haven’t seen one.

Me thnks that Mr. Dickens neens to take off the rose colored glasses.

Townhall.com’s Carol Platt Liebau asks….

Posted on

This:

Could someone point to me someone — anyone — of any stature in the Republican Party or the conservative movement who has shopped the idea that Barack is a Muslim (it was, of course, Hillary Clinton who said he was a Christian “as far as [she] know[s]”)? Or a terrorist who’s hand-in-glove with Osama bin Laden?

Yeah, Sure, I will. How about 90% of your damn base? Someone seriously needs to get this woman some glasses, because, it’s quite obvious she’s quite the vision impaired person.

I am not a Obama fan, not by a long shot. But this right here, is why the Republican Party is going to get thier asses handed to them on a platter come November, and quite honestly, no one is more deserving of that.

It just seems to me, that the Republican Party has been taken over by a disease and that is a bad case of inherit stupidity. 🙄

Yeah, I know, she said Stature, but you know, it doesn’t matter WHOM it’s coming from, it’s very damn point that it’s even coming.

Update: Before anyone says, “Hey, what about you?” Let me say this, okay? 90% of what I say in here, in relation to Obama being a Muslim or terrorist or anything else, is said in jest. I know that he is not a terrorist. Duh, I’m not that stupid. My biggest gripe with the Republicans, is their operatives who DO spread these rumors as fact. Obviously Carol does not see the e-mails that float around. 🙄

Man, talk about a dumb bitch who needs to wake up and smell the coffee… wow! 😮 😯

On the Offshore Ban Lift

Posted on

Yes, I have have heard about lifting the Ban of offshore drilling.

The good news is, it will help, in the long run. The bad news is, it will not help anytime soon.

Of course, I’d be willing to bet that the Dems will obstruct this. What needs to happen is, the Enron Loophole needs to be closed, like yesterday. Between the two, prices would come down.

Other than that, I don’t see a quick solution.

Obama: 9/11, WTC Attacks, Radical Islam is the USA’s Fault…

Posted on

Are we sure that this man isn’t a closet Muslim? In this quote, he basically says that 9/11 was our fault.

Quote:

ZAKARIA: But how do you view the problem within Islam? As somebody who saw it in Indonesia … the largest Muslim country in the world?

OBAMA: Well, it was interesting. When I lived in Indonesia — this would be ’67, ’68, late ’60s, early ’70s — Indonesia was never the same culture as the Arab Middle East. The brand of Islam was always different.

But around the world, there was no — there was not the sense that Islam was inherently opposed to the West, or inherently opposed to modern life, or inherently opposed to universal traditions like rule of law.

And now in Indonesia, you see some of those extremist elements. And what’s interesting is, you can see some correlation between the economic crash during the Asian financial crisis, where about a third of Indonesia’s GDP was wiped out, and the acceleration of these Islamic extremist forces.

It isn’t to say that there is a direct correlation, but what is absolutely true is that there has been a shift in Islam that I believe is connected to the failures of governments and the failures of the West to work with many of these countries, in order to make sure that opportunities are there, that there’s bottom-up economic growth. – Source: CNN exclusive: Obama on foreign policy – CNN.com

I don’t know about you, but that sounds like a terrorism apologist to me. I think all he needs is a turban and a Koran and he would look like Osama Bin Laden’s brother. Wait. Isn’t that what he…..never mind. 😮 😯

Yes, that was me….

Posted on2 Comments

Yes, that was me, that you heard on the Downsize D.C. Radio Show. Which is on the Genesis Radio Network.

I was giving Jim my views on what’s happening with the United States and Iran. Which I do not believe we are going to war with.

After all, according to the Washington Times and Times of London, we could very well be pulling our forces out of Iraq.

Personally, like I said on Jim’s show. The people of the United States of America are tired of this war, period. This is why the President’s approval ratings are through the floor, this is why the congress approval rating is very low as well.

Personally, as I said on Jim’s show, I personally believe that we are NOT going to go directly to war with Iran. I believe that we are going to first use negotiations, via third party talks. Then, if that does not work. We will pursue Military via proxy though Israel.

So, again, I very highly doubt that the US would be foolish enough to pursue military action directly, with Iran. Because for one, George W. Bush does not want to drop two wars into the lap of an incoming President, because he wants to be the Republican hero. Not the President who drops a war to the next President.

Remember, we tried to be the hero’s in the middle east and it failed, and the situation in Iraq is just now starting to come around in Iraq. We’re not going to make that mistake twice, at least not with Bush in the White House.

….and that’s my take on it.

Republicans just need to stop, period.

Posted on

More specifically the Neo-Con’s just need to stop, period.

Here’s the deal, it’s 4:38 A.M. The A/C in the damned house is busted, I’m hot as hell, it’s too freaking hot to sleep and I got a bottle of somewhat cold tap water, an article that I happened to come across, which was written by a damned Neo-Conservative that is basically a feeble hardy attempt at mocking someone on the far left.

There’s only one big problem with the article written by the dude, who posted it on the Far Lefty website, Well, really, it’s a community Blog site. I may be a Conservative, but even I know the difference between a damned website and a Blog. O’Reilly, I am not.

The problem is, the article is just about right on the money. There’s a couple of spots, where he meanders off into personal opinion, that is to be expected, it is a liberal site, after all. But the facts he presents, I have read on various MSM sites on the internet, both domestic and foreign.

The A/C repair people will be out on Monday, I, on the other hand, am in need of dire repairs. 😉 😛 😀

I think the biggest problem in Politics at the moment is that both sides, Republican and Democrat, Conservative and Liberal are running around with their fingers crammed their ears and are hollering at the top of their lungs, “LALALALALALALALA!” Instead of really listening to what the other side says, they’re more interested in insulting them, even when what they’re saying is actually true. Instead of trying to talk to one another, they’re talking AT one another.

Until we can get past that, and stop accusing one another of being fascists and Anti-American, and come to some sort of a agreement, that makes everyone happy, on all sides of the fence. We will be stuck in the funk that we’re in now.

Just an opinion, do with it, what you wish.

It has been said, that there’s a song, that sums up every thought, every feeling, and every idea. This one here, is what I’m trying to convey in this post:

Hopefully, You will understand.

Ron Paul Revolution took place today….

Posted on5 Comments

Jonn Lilyea over at This ain’t hell has pictures and the Story. Although, I will confess, I am not happy about the way it was written. I understand fully where those people are coming from. Ron Paul stands for the old Paleo-Conservativism of the Ronald Reagan era. It is truly a pity that his ideals were rejected by a Zionist, Neo-Conservative, war-mongering Republican Party.

I commend the people that braved the heat, high gas prices and Washington D.C. In general to come out and march on Washington D.C. I assure them all, even though I wasn’t there in the flesh, I was there in Spirit.

More Coverage available over at Little Green Footballs and BLACKFIVE, although it’s mainly to mock the people. That’s the Republican Party of today though.

Barack Obama, Pussy in Chief?

Posted on1 Comment

It seems that way….

Quote:

A coalition of military groups is planning a nationally televised town-hall-style meeting with the presidential candidates near Fort Hood, Tex., the largest active-duty military installation in the country. But so far, only Senator John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, has agreed to attend.

CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.

Senator Barack Obama of Illinois, the presumptive Democratic nominee, has not agreed to participate.

“Senator Obama strongly supports America’s veterans and military families and has worked hard on their behalf in the Senate,” said Phillip Carter, director of Mr. Obama’s veterans effort and an Iraq war veteran. “While we unfortunately had a previously scheduled commitment on the date proposed, Senator Obama looks forward to continuing the dialogue he’s been having throughout the country with veterans on how we can better serve our men and women in uniform as they serve us.”– Obama Won’t Commit to Event at Military Base – NYTimes.com

The way I see it, If B. Hussein Obama does not have to guts to appear before a crowd of Military men. He’s nothing more than a cowardly communist sissy liberal. He claims that he does not want to use the Military to make a cheap political point. I got news for you, Barry’s whole fucking campaign has been one BIG fucking political point!

Just further proof that without teleprompter, he nothing more than a empty suit, sleazeball, NEGRO Chicago Politician. (yeah, that’s right, I called him what he IS, a NEGRO!)

Tony Snow – Rest in Peace

Posted on

8x10_tony_snow_fix

Robert Anthony Snow

Born: June 1, 1955 Died: July 12, 2008

Sad News to wake up to this morning. I admit it, I did the jaw drop thing myself this morning. When I read former press secretary Tony Snow had passed.

You can say many things about the Bush Administration, you can bad mouth many of the players. But you cannot bad mouth Tony. He was just a nice guy. Who was tossed into one of worst jobs in the White House, and the really funny thing is, he loved doing it.

Tony was 53 and had three children. My thoughts and Prayers are with Jill, Robbie, Kendall, Kristi

There are many nice things being said about Tony. If you follow the link above, you’ll see the good things. Unfortunately, some of the left are using this as a time to insult a dead man. God be their judges. I won’t directly link to any of that screed.

The President made a statement:

Laura and I are deeply saddened by the death of our dear friend, Tony Snow. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Jill, and their children, Kendall, Robbie, and Kristi. The Snow family has lost a beloved husband and father. And America has lost a devoted public servant and a man of character.

Tony was one of our Nation’s finest writers and commentators. He earned a loyal following with incisive radio and television broadcasts. He was a gifted speechwriter who served in my father’s Administration. And I was thrilled when he agreed to return to the White House to serve as my Press Secretary. It was a joy to watch Tony at the podium each day. He brought wit, grace, and a great love of country to his work. His colleagues will cherish memories of his energetic personality and relentless good humor.

All of us here at the White House will miss Tony, as will the millions of Americans he inspired with his brave struggle against cancer. One of the things that sustained Tony Snow was his faith – and Laura and I join people across our country in praying that this good man has now found comfort in the arms of his Creator.

Rest in Peace, Tony. You’ve earned it. Save me a place at the table and around that throne of Grace. See you there!

Newsweek Polls: Obama’s lead sinks….

Posted on

(H/T to Capt. Ed.)

It seems that the glow of Obama, amongst the Independents, has grown quite dim.

Via NewsWeek:

A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama’s glow may be fading. In the latest NEWSWEEK Poll, the Illinois senator leads Republican nominee John McCain by just 3 percentage points, 44 percent to 41 percent. The statistical dead heat is a marked change from last month’s NEWSWEEK Poll, where Obama led McCain by 15 points, 51 percent to 36 percent.

Obama’s rapid drop comes at a strategically challenging moment for the Democratic candidate. Having vanquished Hillary Clinton in early June, Obama quickly went about repositioning himself for a general-election audience–an unpleasant task for any nominee emerging from the pander-heavy primary contests and particularly for a candidate who’d slogged through a vigorous primary challenge in most every contest from January until June. Obama’s reversal on FISA legislation, his support of faith-based initiatives and his decision to opt out of the campaign public-financing system left him open to charges he was a flip-flopper. In the new poll, 53 percent of voters (and 50 percent of former Hillary Clinton supporters) believe that Obama has changed his position on key issues in order to gain political advantage.

More seriously, some Obama supporters worry that the spectacle of their candidate eagerly embracing his old rival, Hillary Clinton, and traveling the country courting big donors at lavish fund-raisers, may have done lasting damage to his image as an arbiter of a new kind of politics. This is a major concern since Obama’s outsider credentials, have, in the past, played a large part in his appeal to moderate, swing voters. In the new poll, McCain leads Obama among independents 41 percent to 34 percent, with 25 percent favoring neither candidate. In June’s NEWSWEEK Poll, Obama bested McCain among independent voters, 48 percent to 36 percent.

I know what caused all of this. Some say it was his “Lurch” to the center. I disagree. I believe it was caused by his enormous pander to the far left during the primary. He went to the front of the pack, because he told his base, that he intended to end the war in Iraq, “I don’t care what those generals say!”, is essentially what he told people. Barry essentially did in the primary, what the members of congress did in 2006. Lied like dogs, then got elected and proceeded to do absolutely NONE of the things that they promised their base that they would do. Which is, I think, Politics 101 anymore. 😀

But seeing that conditions in Iraq have improved and he also wanted to attract people, like me; who tend to hang around the center, on some issues, (Not all!) like getting out of Iraq in a responsible manner. What happened was, Obama tried, but failed miserably to subtly change his message.

Why did Obama fail? Well, because you have people like Ariana Huffington who can sniff out a right winger a mile away, that’s why! 😆 After all, she was married to one. 😀 Also, you have Conservative, Libertarian and Constitutionalist Bloggers, like myself, who take some sort of a perverse joy out of pointing out every little screw up, flip flop and outright lie which Obama tells, that happens to cross the media and a few, that the media either give him a pass on or they completely miss.

Between the two, ol’ Barry just can’t catch a break. 😛

Interestingly enough, I really do believe that majority of the Nation, except for the part of the country that reads, and own Blogs, like myself, and maybe the Political junkies, will hardly notice any of this stuff come November, they will think, “Republican = Bush” and pull the lever for a Democrat, and as much as I hate to say it. Obama will win, because what can John McCain say, to counter Obama’s message of hope and change? Not a damn thing.

Best thing that ol’ Juan McSame can come up with is that idiot phrase of “That’s not change we can believe in” and a silly laugh that made him sound like a mental patient, and making Political Ads that basically give the finger to the Anti-Illegal Immigration crowd. Which, by the way, is about 75% of his base.

The bottom line is: Obama took a dip, but I don’t expect it to affect him much in the long run.

Weekly Donation Appeal……

Posted on

Hi Gang,

Here’s the part of being a full time Blogger, that I absolutely hate.

Asking for money….. 🙄

Yes, I do this full time. As I mentioned previously in another entry, I am a full time, freelance writer and Blogger. I write for a living, it is what I enjoy.

I won’t get into all the reasons why I do not have a day job. But I do enjoy this and I’d like to get paid to do it.

Please Give. Even if it’s $5 or $10 every little helps. For the record, I haven’t gotten any more than around $200.00 from here.

You say you cannot give? Well, there’s something that you can do, click my ads. I’ve just added a new Ad Service, one that pays, and pay decent, it’s a pay per display service and it’s already generating revenue. It’s not a $100 a minute, but it’s a little income. Some pay per click, some pay me when you buy something. (Please Note: I don’t get paid when you click on GunsAmerica’s Banner, that’s there for information and for a service…

Also, take a look at the banners under “My Friends” and “More of my Friends” sections, these are causes that feel matter, please, click on them and show your support.

Again, I don’t consider this begging, I only do it once a week! 😉

Also, I, again, would like to THANK EVERYONE who answered the call for help, when I was still over on Blogger. I also thank the young man, who came to my rescue with a awesome offer of hosting for an excellent deal. Which I could not have beaten, had I tried. I also thank Chris Muir of Day by Day for bringing my situation to the attention of his readers, you’re awesome Chris!

Anyhow, enough of the ass kissing. 😉 😛 😆 😀

Thanks for reading and thanks for the continued readership.

A News Article that Goerge W. Bush and Staff need to read..

Posted on

This is serious Business and Bush had better read this. This here is why we cannot afford to go to war with Iran.

The Story: OPEC warns against military conflict with Iran (via International Herald Tribune)

The head of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries warned Thursday that oil prices would see an “unlimited” increase in the case of a military conflict involving Iran, because the group’s members would be unable to make up the lost production.

“We really cannot replace Iran’s production – it’s not feasible to replace it,” Abdalla Salem El-Badri, the OPEC secretary general, said during an interview.

Iran, the second-largest producing country in OPEC, after Saudi Arabia, produces about 4 million barrels of oil a day out of the daily worldwide production of close to 87 million barrels. The country has been locked in a lengthy dispute with Western countries over its nuclear ambitions.

In recent weeks, the price of oil has risen higher on speculation that Israel could be preparing to attack Iranian nuclear facilities. The saber-rattling intensified this week with missile tests by Iran. That has further shaken oil markets because of concerns that any conflict with Iran could disrupt oil shipments from the Gulf region.

“The prices would go unlimited,” Badri said during the interview, referring to the effect of a military conflict. “I can’t give you a number.”

I highly recommend that everyone, of all political stripes go read this article. This is why we cannot go to war with Iran. Not because of our Military, but rather because it would kill us, even worse than it is now, at the gas pump.

We just cannot afford, I cannot afford, the Nation cannot afford another war with another country.

Like this: (H/T to Matthew Yglesias)

I mean, how idiotic:

“Amigo! Amigo!” Mr. Bush called out cheerily in Spanish when he spotted the Italian prime minister. “How you doing, Silvio? Good to see you!” Later, the president wondered about his former Russian counterpart, Vladimir V. Putin. “Did Putin come to see you since I saw you?” he asked Mr. Berlusconi. (He had not.)

🙄 and they wonder why we’re not liked in other parts of the world.

Uh Oh….. Jesse Done stepped in it!

Posted on1 Comment

D’oh!

Jesse Jackson just went in stepped into the doo doo…

He basically said he thought Obama was cutting his own (part of the male reproductive organ) off. By giving talks about morals. Yeah, He’d know, considering he had an affair and fathered a child, out of wedlock.

The Video:

Jesse Jackson issued this Statement:

“For any harm or hurt that this hot mic private conversation may have caused, I apologize,” Jackson said in a statement issued to CNN. “My support for Senator Obama’s campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal. I cherish this redemptive and historical moment.”

“My appeal was for the moral content of his message to not only deal with the personal and moral responsibility of black males, but to deal with the collective moral responsibility of government and the public policy which would be a corrective action for the lack of good choices that often led to their irresponsibility,” Jackson also said.

“That was the context of my private conversation and it does not reflect any disparagement on my part for the historic event in which we are involved or my pride in Senator Barack Obama, who is leading it, whom I have supported by crisscrossing this nation in every level of media and audience from the beginning in absolute terms.”

Uh-huh, you’re just sorry you got caught.

His own son is quite perturbed:

I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Reverend Jackson’s reckless statements about Senator Barack Obama. His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee — and I believe the next president of the United States — contradict his inspiring and courageous career. Instead of tearing others down, Barack Obama wants to build the country up and bring people together so that we can move forward, together — as one nation. The remarks like those uttered on Fox by Revered Jackson do not advance the campaign’s cause of building a more perfect Union. Revered Jackson is my dad and I’ll always love him. He should know how hard that I’ve worked for the last year and a half as a national co-chair of Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. So, I thoroughly reject and repudiate his ugly rhetoric. He should keep hope alive and any personal attacks and insults to himself. – Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)

Wow…Just Wow…. The jokes just keep writing themselves.

But like Malkin said, It’s always we meanie Conservatives that make the horrible statements about Barry.

One of the benefits of being around a long time is that you get to know a lot about certain things. I’m 80 years old and I’ve been an oilman for almost 60 years. I’ve drilled more dry holes and also found more oil than just about anyone in the industry. With all my experience, I’ve never been as worried about our energy security as I am now. Like many of us, I ignored what was happening. Now our country faces what I believe is the most serious situation since World War II.

In fact, here’s the video from the Pickens website:

An excellent plan, also, let’s close that Enron Loophole as well. That would really help as well. I think that if we would stop making this issue a Political wedge and more of a matter of personal importance, we could get much more done.

T. Boone Picken’s Website is here.

Let’s just hope the Democrats and Republicans take this issue seriously and not like a Political Wedge.

Iran tests thier missiles again… Obama and McCain React

Posted on

(H/T Hot Air)

Via Reuters:

Iran test-fired nine missiles on Wednesday and warned the United States and Israel it was ready to retaliate for any attack over its disputed nuclear projects.

Washington, which says Iran seeks atomic bombs, told Tehran to halt further tests. Iran, the world’s fourth largest oil producer, says its nuclear program is only for electricity.

Iran’s missile tests rattled oil markets, helping crude prices to rebound about $2 a barrel after recent falls.

Speculation that Israel could bomb Iran has mounted since a big Israeli air drill last month. U.S. leaders have not ruled out military options if diplomacy fails to end the nuclear row.

Revolutionary Guards air force commander Hossein Salami said in televised comments that thousands of missiles were ready to be fired at “pre-determined targets.” Missiles were shown soaring from desert launchpads, leaving long vapor trails.

“We warn the enemies who intend to threaten us with military exercises and empty psychological operations that our hand will always be on the trigger and our missiles will always be ready to launch,” he said, according to ISNA news agency.

And Obama’s Response?

Video:

His typical stammering response of we have to appease them.

McCain’s Response?:

Iran’s most recent missile tests demonstrate again the dangers it poses to its neighbors and to the wider region, especially Israel. Ballistic missile testing coupled with Iran’s continued refusal to cease its nuclear activities should unite the international community in efforts to counter Iran’s dangerous ambitions. Iran’s missile tests also demonstrate the need for effective missile defense now and in the future, and this includes missile defense in Europe as is planned with the Czech Republic and Poland. Working with our European and regional allies is the best way to meet the threat posed by Iran, not unilateral concessions that undermine multilateral diplomacy.

Who would you want to vote for? A commie liberal who wants to make nice with Iranians who want to see Israel wiped off the map or someone who will defend Israel till the death, like John McCain?

This is just further proof, that B. Hussein Obama is not ready to lead on day one. Period, End of story, bring another shoe shine boy around to try and run for President, cause this one ain’t even ready.

John McCain Said WHAT?!?!?

Posted on

Ol’ Juan McSame just keeps stepping in it… up to his ears, no less.

From the Washington Post’s “The Trail”:

Sen. John McCain hasn’t had good luck joking about Iran. But he tried it again Tuesday.

Responding to a question about a survey that shows increased exports to
Iran, mainly from cigarettes, McCain said, “Maybe thats a way of killing them.”

He quickly caught himself, saying “I meant that as a joke” as his wife, Cindy, poked him in the back.

Oh Yeah, that’s real nice way to appeal to the centrists who are sizing you up against Obama, you knucklehead.

Michelle Malkin hyperventilates a bit:

I can hear it coming already: faux outrage, MSM feeding frenzy, Worst Person in the World designation, and a 24-hour cycle of cable TV teeth-gnashing over McCain’s off-handed joke about cigarette exports to Iran.

Nope, not this week, Michelle. Keith’s on vacation. At best, Rachel Maddow, who’s subbing for Olbermann this week, will make it a part of the show. Keith’s subs usually do not usually perform the Worst Person in the World bits. Honestly? I think this will be a blip on the radar, really, the left is still frothing at the mouth over Obama’s lurch to the center, and the right, his “supposed” flip flops, or as he calls them, the things that were his positions all along and nobody was paying attention. 😀

But I will say this, McCain really, really, really, needs to work on his humor. between this and that silly “That’s not change you can believe in” along with that laugh, that made him sound like a mental patient. Along that terrible green background. Yeeesh… No wonder he got a new bunch of people to help him out, the previous staff was making him look like an idiot.

……But then again, we are talking about Juan McCain.

I get discriminated against by Google…

Posted on

As Michelle Malkin found out a little while back, some advertisers do not offer advertising to Conservatives.

That’s right people, Google actually denied me advertising on their “Google Affiliate Network” advertising system. 

What happened is, a little while back, I received an e-mail from Google Adsense, letting me know that Google was retiring it’s referral ads program. For an alternative, the e-mail told me that I could sign up for DoubleClick Performics, which I found out, after that I went over to the signup page, that this company had been bought out, by, of course, Google. So, I thought, “Well, I’m already a member of Google Adsense, I’ll just join up here.”. No such luck. I was denied.

An excellent way of controlling their advertising, however, it is total discrimination against me. Because my Blog is a Conservative Blog, I am being denied.

Here’s the e-mail that I received:

I supposed if I had a blog, that advocated the mindless and wholesale killing of unborn babies, or a Blog that advocated the unproven science of Global Warming, or if I had a website that advocated the promiscuous sex of 14 year old girls. That I would be accepted with no problem at all. However, because my website is against all these things, my site is considered a unacceptable website to Google.

I am seriously considering removing ALL of Google’s ads here. I have to think about it. But I intend to let the world know about this.

Not smart Jonah, Not smart at all…

I’m not a politically correct person, not by a long shot.

But I think that this article here, is about is close as one can come to basically saying that, “Obama is just a stupid liberal n****r”, without actually saying it. Attempting to equate a requirement for service, in return for college funding to slavery is not, I repeat, NOT a smart thing to do, seeing the whole climate of this election.

I mean, not agreeing with someones political policy is one thing, but this is another. I have to wonder, would Goldberg have brought up Slavery, if Obama was a White Man?

….and here I thought the Republicans were the party of Anti-Slavery and Anti-Racism.
