Richard Spencer Offers up a bit of tapered response to Bill Kristol’s Column. Which is a bit more calmer than the “Off with his head!” response by some of the Libertarian Bloggers that I read. đ
Although, I will be first to admit that the title of Richard’s Blog entry almost made me spit my coffee all over my laptop. đ
This is too funny…
J. J. Jackson has a very hilarious questionare that Obama would possibly use for Obama’s White House Dog.
1. Did you donate to my campaign? If so, please list the fictitious name you used to make a donation so that I can determine if it was significant enough to warrant your consideration. Only cash donations count. Sorry, but I cannot consider simply working for my campaign or voice support because, well, we see what happened when I promised a position to Hillary based on her support. Now I have a staff that is starting to look like the Clinton Administration!
2. Have you ever sniffed the butt of a terrorist or a terroristâs dog?
3. If you answered âyesâ or âmaybeâ or âIâm not really certain, could you define âterroristâ?â to the previous question, please provide a detailed account of the incident in question and include a convincing explanation that we could present to the press to explain why the of sniffing the butt in question is not a pertinent issue and should be ignored.
4. Have you ever bitten a liberal? If so, please document the incident fully so that we can see if you are intolerant of liberal ideas or whether this liberal really did deserve to be bitten. Although we highly doubt the later, because liberals are so well intentioned and peace loving that such a claim would be completely unfounded, I will give you an opportunity to prove your innocence in the matter.
5. Have you ever bitten a conservative? If so, please document the incident fully as biting this conservative because he or she was an evil, anti-poor, racist. Biting multiple conservatives would be an even bigger boost to your chances so please make sure to recount all such incidents.
6. Which do you prefer, listening to Rush Limbaugh or Air America?
7. Would you prefer Air America more if we mandated that they hire more canine hosts to discuss dog related issues and the oppression Lupine-Americans suffer at the hands of their human oppressors?
8. Have you ever peed on an undocumented worker?
9. Do you contain any Pit Bull blood in your genetic makeup? If so, please fill out form 7843-C completing addendums N, R, S, U and Z and also authorization form A-1 so that we may perform a mental screening to determine your tendency towards violence.
10. Has any member of your family ever been a German Sheppard?
11. Qualified applicants will be at least 25% of each of the following: Portuguese Water Hound, Shitz-zu, Chihuahua, giraffe, Australian Sheppard, Cornish hen, English Terrier, Daschund, African elephant, Black Labrador Retriever, Indian Elephant, Woolly Mammoth, Poodle, Woozle, Tigger, and Pooh Bear Please verify all claims as to your lineage although validity of documentation will not be checked so forgeries are ok.
12. Do you have only a Certificate of Live Birth or can you fully document your birth in the United States with an actual Vault Copy of your papers? Do not worry, absence of the latter will not be held against you.
13. Have you or any member of your family ever lived in a household where any human being was at any time registered with or donated to the Republican Party? If so, please document all the abuse these evil people visited upon you and list their address. You know ⌠just for record keeping purposes.
14. What religion do you practice? Please be aware that preferential treatment will be given to practitioners of Canine Liberation Theology although you will be required to verify that at no time were you ever actually present during any of your Pastorâs vicious and anti-American rants.
15. Have you ever uttered a racial slur such as, âwooooof,â âwoooff,â âwoof yelp,â or âbark bark woofâ at any time?
16. Please list all other dogs which you consider your friends. Completely document their breeds so that we can determine if your circle of friends (aka your pack) is significantly diverse.
17. If you were left in a room alone with Condoleezza Rice, would you bite her a) because she is a tool of the Republican Party, b) betrayed her gender by serving an evil Republican during his presidency while Republicans were constantly trying to return women to a status of âbarefoot and pregnant in the kitchen,â c) a traitor to her race, or d) all of the above?
18. If given the opportunity, would you plant bombs at a police station and attempt to maim and kill law enforcement officers and civilians for the just cause of canine liberation?
19. Explain in not less than 5,000 words why the people of Iraq were not worthy of being helped, how much you were against helping them from the very beginning and how you were the only dog that held such a stance.
20. If asked, what parts of the Constitution would you chose to ignore?
21. Would you be open to the concept of a Canine Defense Force in which all dogs in the United States would volunteer for mandatory service of at least 50 hours a month growling at conservatives to intimidate them?
22. What are your opinions on the following potential sources of energy: oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, biofuel and hydro. No, seriously, because I have no clue what the heck to do come January 20th, 2009. You have no idea what it is like with all these environmental nutcases pulling me in every direction possible. Hey, would you be open to being my Energy Czar by any chance?
23. Describe how evil you think corporations are. The more evil you think they are, the better.
24. I am currently seeking ideas about how to keep Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson off my back for the next four years. Give me your best estimate at how much money I should have Congress earmark for them to keep them quiet.
25. And one final question. Are you hypoallergenic? See, my one daughter is allergic to dogs so you have to be hypoallergenic so as not to cause her any discomfort while allowing me to look like I can relate to the common man and pet owner. Sorry, but my wife made me ask.
I wrote about it Yesterday. I’m already sick of hearing about it. đ
If you want to go read that Soap Opera. Click here, as for me and this Blog. I’ve got better things to write about, than some man made scandal. When the justice Dept annouces that they are going to implicate Obama. I’ll write more about it. Otherwise, it’s simply specualtion and gossip. Something I just do not want to be a part of.
It seems that there is a grassroots effort to get a boycott Alabama, in response to the Alabama Senator Richard Shelby’s attempted stonewalling of the bridge loans to the Big Three. Well, it’s big two now, Ford will not be needing the help.
Anyhow, here is a e-mail written by my Mother, who is a spouse of a retired General Motors worker.
Senator Shelby,
I doubt that you read the emails sent to your office but perhaps it will be read by someone who will show you the many emails you are sure to receive, and will point out to you just how wrong you are. There are a lot of derogatory comments that could be made but I prefer to try to point out a few facts that you evidently have not wanted to know. My husband and my father are both General Motors retirees and I know firsthand from where I speak.
Perhaps you think the auto workers are wealthy, making that mysterious $75 an hour that has been bandied about in the media. Unfortunately that is very far from the truth. They have never made that much, even including benefits, and most of them live from paycheck to paycheck trying to make ends meet like most middle class people. If the auto companies go bankrupt as you desire, not only will the auto workers lose their jobs, but also jobs directly and indirectly connected, such as suppliers, stores and restaurants located near the plants and of course it will trickle down to the cities who will lose the tax revenues these plants produce. We are not only talking about Detroit and Michigan but every state that has a plant or plants belonging to the Big 3.
It’s odd to me that you think that two companies that have been in business for over 100 years and one that is over 83 years old do not know what they are doing. If this is true how do you explain the fact that they sell over 50% of the cars purchased in the world and have won many, many multiple awards over the years for their cars? Do you perhaps think that people are just too stupid or uneducated to realize they are buying an inferior product? And the award givers are too dumb to realize they are giving an award to a poorly built, not very innovative dinosaur? Maybe you need to voice that opinion in your next media interview. I’m sure people would be interested to hear it.
You need to come out of your office and meet with the GM, Ford and Chrysler workers themselves. Could you really look them in the face, knowing they have families to support and bills to pay and tell them you think they should join the ranks of the unemployed? Do you think it is their fault that the economy has taken such a downturn because of mismanagement on Wall Street, the banks and yes, the government?
The auto companies and the union are trying their best to jump through all the hoops the Congress is throwing at them, as ridiculous as some of them are. To let them go under will cause a depression like this nation has not seen in many years. I hope you think long and hard about that.
By the way, I fully support the boycott of your state.
Y’all see where I get the writing skills from? I was told that I could post that, as long as I did not sign her name.
Anyhow, if you’d like to join the grassroots effort boycott Alabama. Please go to the Official Boycott Alabama Page.

Transcript: (via Charleston City Paper)
Amongst the many conversations from many quarters about who might lead the Republican Party, I keep hearing one name time and time again â Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. As with Sarah Palin, I intended to keep an open mind about any possibilities in the hopes that a post – Bush presidency, post – McCain campaign GOP might produce leaders who learned the right lessons the last eight years, and yet it seems those singing Jindalâs praises the most are the same Republicans who still defend the indefensible Bush and who campaigned the hardest for the unconservative McCain.
So whatâs so special about Jindal? While heâs conservative on gun rights, illegal immigration and social issues, none of this really sets Jindal apart from other Republican leaders. What does set the Louisiana governor apart is that he is a racial minority, and is even being called by some the âRepublican Obama,â due to his youth and Indian ancestry. The neoconservatives have been keen on Jindal as well, which is never a good sign, and as with Joe Lieberman and now Hillary Clinton, neocons will support any candidate they see as sufficiently interventionist on foreign policy and who is comfortable with wartime government expansion. And sure enough, Jindal remains a steadfast supporter of the war in Iraq, probably wouldnât mind invading Iran or sending troops to Georgia, and as a congressman he voted both to make the Patriot Act permanent and for the REAL ID act, an Orwellian scheme so intrusive that it was overwhelmingly opposed by South Carolina Republicans. Well, except Lindsey Graham.
So is a candidate who combines multicultural appeal and Bush Republicanism a winning recipe for the GOP? In playing minority identity politics, the Republican Party will have proven itself no better than voters who pulled the lever for Obama simply because he was black. And in embracing another neoconservative, the Republican Party could further alienate voters who pulled the lever for Obama simply because he wasnât Bush or a reasonable facsimile.
There is a better path. Instead of rallying behind a governor who really would amount to nothing more than an affirmative action hire, how about a governor whose limited government record would make even Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan blush? South Carolinaâs Mark Sanford has long made plenty of enemies amongst Republicans by refusing to deliver politics as usual, and has been getting a lot of press as of late for much the same reason. As many Republicans join Democrats in pressing for more bailouts and begging for money, Sanford continues to chastise his own party for spending the money, will not take money for his own state and refuses to put further in debt, his own country. Unlike many Republicans, Sanford recognizes the failures of the last eight years, even recently dismissing Bushâs big government âcompassionate conservatismâ as a âdisaster.â When asked what the Republican Party should stand for, Sanford repeatedly harkens back to the conservative bedrock principles of limited government and fiscal responsibility. âOur niche is maximizing individual libertyâ said Sanford of his Republican Party. And the governorâs libertarian approach is undoubtedly what led him to oppose, unlike Jindal, the implementation of the REAL ID Act.
The two roads that lie before the Republican Party are not the âmore conservative vs. more moderateâ choice that so many pundits seem obsessed with. For Beltway talking heads, when Republicans win they should become more moderate to stay in power and when they lose they must become more moderate to win elections. They always want âmore moderate.â And theyâre always wrong.
Obama won the election because he appealed to voters across political, party, generational and racial lines. The only Republican running for president this year who had a similar appeal to such a broad section of voters, and particularly the young voters who energized Obamaâs campaign and were invisible in McCainâs, was Texas Congressman Ron Paul. The difference is whereas Obama appealed to so many based mostly on his race and charm, the white, uncharismatic and not-particularly eloquent Paul attracted a diverse base who were in love with his ideas.
As a matter of practical politics, the libertarian, small government conservatism of a Paul or Sanford promises to be a more winning strategy than the authoritarian, big government Republicanism of a Bush or Jindal. Reagan was not off-base when he once said âthe very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism.â And the GOP would do well to champion leaders who actually consider the massive costs of more wars, bigger government and less liberty, instead of another round of Republicans whose enthusiasm for more wars, bigger government and less liberty is always worth any cost.
Obama says had no contact with Blagojevich. Uhm…. Well, Sounds like that is not 100% correct.
‘Da Video:
When your a President-Elect, it is a good idea for the left hand to know what the right hand is doing. đ
(HatTip: AP @ HotAir.com)
Seems the Democrat Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is in trouble with the FBI.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday on federal charges that accuse him of trying to benefit from his ability to appoint President-elect Barack Obama’s replacement in the U.S. Senate.
A 76-page FBI affidavit says the 51-year-old Democrat was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.
The affidavit contends Blagojevich discussed getting a substantial salary for himself at a non-profit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions. It also says Blagojevich talked about getting his wife placed on corporate boards where she might get $150,000 a year in director’s fees.
The affidavit also quotes Blagojevich as saying “I want to make money” in one conversation.
John Harris, the governor’s chief of staff, was also charged, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Now, because I don’t like to pile on, let me simply say this. Corruption is wrong, Democrats AND Republicans have done it. Recently Ted Stevens was indicted on corruption charges. As well as Democrat congressman William Jefferson. So, there’s equal amounts on both sides of the aisle.
Let’s hope this slimeball gets what’s coming to him.
Would not it be funny if this guy talked and said that Obama ordered it to happen? Would not it be neat of the Electoral College voted to not to seat Obama as President, because of the corruption charges?
A Man can dream. đ

Seems that the people that defaulted on their mortgages, have defaulted again, even after all this aid that has been tossed around. So reports Reuters:
Recent data suggests that many borrowers who received help with mortgage modifications earlier this year tended to re-default on their payments, a top U.S. banking regulator said on Monday.
“The results, I confess, were somewhat surprising, and not in a good way,” said John Dugan, head of the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, in prepared remarks for a U.S. housing forum.
“Put simply, it shows that over half of mortgage modifications seemed not to be working after six months,” he said.
Dugan said based on data collected from some of the biggest U.S. institutions, like Bank of America, Citibank and JPMorgan Chase, home foreclosure starts fell 2.6 percent in the three months ended in September.
However, data which is to be issued by the OCC and the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) next week could throw cold water on a push by some U.S. policymakers for loan modifications as the key remedy for the ailing U.S. financial and economic crisis.
Dugan said recent data showed that after three months, nearly 36 percent of borrowers who received restructured mortgages in the first quarter re-defaulted.
The rate of re-default jumped to about 53 percent after six months and 58 percent after eight months, Dugan said, without providing an explanation for the trend.
Regulators speaking at an OTS-housing forum did not provide any explanations for the causes behind the data.
“We don’t know the answers yet, but these are the types of questions that we have begun asking our servicers in detail,” Dugan said.
Sheila Bair, chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, who has been pushing for fast and systematic loan modifications, said regulators need to examine re-default data more closely.
“I think it’s very important to look at this data carefully and know what it says and what it doesn’t say,” Bair said.
Dugan said the third-quarter report will show many of the same disturbing trends as other recent mortgage reports, as credit quality continued to decline across the board and delinquencies rose for subprime, alt-A and prime mortgages.
He said the report will also show that the greatest delinquencies were in prime mortgages.
I can tell you exactly what the answer is. You do not hand out mortgages to people that you know damned well that they cannot pay for them. That is the answer! This is why the Country, The Big Three and Wall Street are in the mess that they are in now, in the first place. Because fucking Bill Clinton and his team of morons decided to FORCE lending companies to gives loans to HIGH RISK persons, and they’re called that for a reason, they’re known not to pay their bills!
High Risk is called High Risk for a reason! Duh! Man, I could have told them that and I am a High School Drop out with A.D.H.D. đ
“Clue needed on Asle 5, Clue needed on Asle 5 Please.”
(Thanks Q & O)
So says a report from The Politico:
Liberals are growing increasingly nervous â and some just flat-out angry â that President-elect Barack Obama seems to be stiffing them on Cabinet jobs and policy choices.
Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. Heâs hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And heâs stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left.
Now some are shedding a reluctance to puncture the liberal euphoria at being rid of President George W. Bush to say, in effect, that the new boss looks like the old boss.
I’ve blogged about this before, Obama; once the inevitable was about to happen and he was about to be elected, choose to run a more moderate campaign. Now that he is elected, is choosing to run his campaign as a centrist or a pragmatist. Well, this has some on the far left, a bit upset.
Which prompted an former Obama staffer to fire off a article about it:
This is not a time for the left wing of our Party to draw conclusions about the Cabinet and White House appointments that President-Elect Obama is making. Some believe the appointments generally aren’t progressive enough. Having worked with former Senator Obama for the last two years, I can tell you, that isn’t the way he thinks and it’s not likely the way he will lead. The problems I mentioned above and the many I didn’t, suggest that our president surround himself with the most qualified people to address these challenges. After all, he was elected to be the president of all the people – not just those on the left.
Well, the far left is having none of that:
People on the left are not looking at Obama’s appointments with a jaundiced eye because they think he needs to apply some liberal orthodoxy litmus test. They have legitimate concerns that people like Geitner, Summers and other Rubin acolytes created this mess, and it’s reasonable to ask why they’re being appointed to get us out of it. While some of us want to give Obama a chance to fulfill the promises he campaigned on and work with the staff of his choice in order to do so, we’d have to be a bunch of intellectually dishonest kool-aid swilling freaks to pretend his economics team didn’t have some troublesome baggage.
[…]
And after the past eight years, it’s a bit much to stomach someone saying “just shut up and trust me, because I know better.”
There is a lot of speculation right now about what will happen with the 13 million member email list the Obama campaign built, and there is some talk of Hildebrand running an organization that manages it.
I wonder how long those membership numbers will hold up when any criticism of Obama is greeted with patronizing lectures and sneering condescension for its liberals?
I think the biggest problem is that the far left thought that Obama was going to serve their purposes. The problem with that is, The President of the United States serves everyone, not just the far Liberal left. He also serves the people that did not vote for him.
The problem with this issue is this. The Democratic Party, lead by those of the far left attempted to make Barack Obama into a Messianic figure, who would be perfect, who would serve their proposes and further the progressive agenda. Turns out, they were quite frightfully wrong. It is nothing new, the Democrats have been overreaching and dong this sort of stuff for years. It is, quite frankly, nothing new at all.
(Hat Tip to Q&O for guidance and Memeorandum for Lead)
Seems so….
This comes from a site called Abolish the Federal Reserve:
Today, I received an email saying this idea âlies outside the scope of the Ideas for Change in America project, which is focused on identifying solutions that we believe can, through a grassroots lobbying effort, receive serious consideration from the Obama administration and/or Congress.â
Let’s hope like hell that this is not the norm.

Update: After a few requests, me forgetting and being reminded, again. I want to be sure and point out that change.org was an still is a PRIVATE website. change.gov was the OFFICIAL Obama transition team site, which now redirects to the White House website. Change.org was a private venture, and still is. Thanks to reader Tony Spears for pointing this out. I totally forgot to update this before. Ooops!

AP has the Details.
If you have a problem with what I just wrote. I encourage you to take a look at the ISLAM section of my Bookstore. Especially this title HERE. Perhaps you should also check out the section on 9/11. Maybe you’ll have a dfferent view after you buy some books telling of the horrible carnage and death that took place that fateful day. Yet, we have bastard Liberals, like “The One” who want to try and talk with these monsters. Perhaps it is because he’s one of them.
So, Bush, you’re already the lame duck, you know where most of the money came from anyhow. Why not just authorize a missile strike and wipe out all of ISLAM in one great swoop? A missile attack, and the President’s outlawing the Pratice of Islam in this Country, would be the ultimate act of justice to all of those who died on September 11, 2001.
First off, let me just say that I agree with the premise of this article.  However, the way it was written and tone of the article, comes off sounding very high brow and elitist sounding.  I am, of course, referring to the article written by NYT guest columnist Timothy Egan, who’s filling in for Moreen Dowd.   I was going to quote some of that here. But I think I’ll just let you click the link on his name there and let you go read what was written. Here is my take on what was written:
While some of what was said was actually factually correct, Joe was not a licensed Journeyman Plumber in Ohio. He was, in fact, an apprentice. He never intended to buy the shop he worked for, because it was not even for sale. Â The information about the supposed tax violations, even if all that is true. How this information was gained, is what burns me. How is it, that the Liberals who have been whining and crying about the FISA Bill, are all too eager to dig up information about someone who happened to challenge Barack Obama on one of his polices.
In fact, I will make a direct accusation on this Blog. I believe, personally, that Barack Hussein Obama personally asked that political operatives within the Democratic Party, working in Governmental positions in Ohio to dig up information on “Joe The Plumber” in order to discredit him. I realize that this can never be proven, because nobody within the Democratic Party is going to go against “The One”.
So, the next time, some idiotic Liberal tries to tell you about Nixon and how evil he was, just tell them, Barack Obama did basically the same thing. Only difference is, he did not get caught.

May God help this Country if we ever forget what happened on that dreadful and awful day. Let us always reflect on it and remember how the madness of Communism can lead to this. The Liberals should learn from this, but sadly they have embraced that terrible madness, in the form of Modern Day Liberalism, that is basically Communism-lite.
After the attack, A Brave President Addressed the Congress and The Nation:
That Speech, “The Day of Infamy” Speech:
War was declared:
and unlike today… We didn’t have spineless Liberals who do not love America. We had REAL Democrats who saw the Challenge and fought like blood hell and Won.

If this does not make you emotional or even a little dewy eyed. You don’t have a damn soul.
Story via WXII TV:
PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. — A woman and 2-year-old daughter welcomed home a sergeant Thursday night who had been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Kensley Penney said she promises this year she has been a good girl. She said she does just what grandma asks and kisses her special doll with her father’s picture every night.
“When we go to bed, we say prayers and ask Jesus to keep him safe,” Kensley’s grandmother, Patty Childress, said.
Kensley is hoping these good deeds will be enough for Santa Claus to give her the two special requests she has this Christmas.
“I asked her if she wanted a new doll or a stroller, and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ and then a week later she said, ‘I want a blue truck and my daddy,'” Childress said.
Her father, Sgt. Scottie Penney, has been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Penney’s wife, April, said it’s been hard for her, but that it’s been especially tough on Kensley.
Scottie Penney’s family worked very hard to keep him in his daughter’s life, even though he was thousands of miles away from home.
“There are pictures all over the house, and like I said, she has our daddy doll,” Childress said. “When she can, she gets on the Web cam with him and makes funny faces. She knows who daddy is.”
In fact, Kensley sleeps cuddled up with her father every night. His picture is on a special doll that her family said she takes everywhere.
Thursday night, Penney walked into Pine Hills Church in Pilot Mountain to surprise his daughter.
The moment was caught on camera.
Kensley waited patiently in her grandmother’s arms to tell Santa Claus her special Christmas wish Thursday night.
“I want my daddy,” Kensley told Santa.
Kensley even practiced a song for Santa Claus, hoping it will help get her wish granted.
Kensley’s constant singing must have paid off, because the Pine Hills Church Santa delivered her Christmas wish right in time for the holidays.
“It was pretty nice,” Scottie Penney said. “We have been planning this for some time. I had mixed emotions about how (Kensley) would react.”
The rest of the room burst out in tears when Kensley and her father reunited.
Scottie Penney said it was also a surprise for him and his wife to see the community supporting them.
“It was very emotional,” he said. “I didn’t see anyone who had a dry eye. It was so great to see the love and support of our community and people who care.”
You see, it is because of stuff like this right here. Is why I am a Libertarian Conservative Blogger, this is why I decided that the Democratic Party was not that Party that loves America, Respects it’s Military. I mean, you need look no further than Michelle Malkin’s Blog to see that.
….and while I am on it. These are the people that voted for that idiotic Communist NEGRO into the White House, them are HIS people.
God Bless that little Blondie bundle of Joy. Especially on Christmas Day. đ
(H/T AllahPundit)
An Excellent Video:
Now, towards of the end of this. He gets off into the weeds about the Unions. I’ll give him a pass on it. Because some of the stuff he says, I kind agree with. But he went overboard with the “They should gotten out from under them years ago…” I disgree with that crap. But the rest of the video is right on point.
Of course, if I was a real butt hole, I could say if it weren’t for the Democrats, his black ass would not have half the freedom that he has now. But to counter that, If it were not for Abe Lincoln, he would be still in chains. So, it evens out. đ
Still I wish there were more black people, like Zo here who believed this way. But unfortunately most of them got sucked into that stupid socialist identity politics crap. Thanks to tools like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
Good show Zo, as always man. đ
I really do not like having to give this idiot anymore of my bandwidth than needed… But… I will.
His NYT piece he says he isn’t a terrorist.
But according to U.S. law 22 USC 2656f(d)f(2) (there are others as well) He is. (Thanks to Eric)
the term âterrorismâ means premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against non-combatant targets by subnational groups or clandestine agents
It is the usual Liberal line of spin and denial. Mixed in with the usual hippie horse hockey of the Anti-War Communist Left.
Go read, if you’ve got a strong stomach. But if your laptop display and or Computer monitor gets broken, don’t come crying to me. đ

They’re scapegoating the Job Losses in this country on…Get ready for it.
On a downturn in illegal immigration.
Yes, that is correct, go read it.
Guys, I’m from this Country. I was born here. I grew up in Southwest Detroit, Michigan. I’ve lived in the ‘burbs now since 1989. I entered the work force in 1991. I have not had a full time, good paying, long term job, since 2005. I’m White, I’m here legally and I’m an Natural Born American Citizen.
Where do I fit into that equation?
đ
Scapegoating is the most stupid thing we can do. For as long as I can remember, It was the blacks fault that nobody could find work. Now it’s the Illegals. It’s the easy way out and it is stupid as hell.
Let’s get real people. The downturn is because of the Republican AND Democratic Party Stupidity. Period. End of fucking discussion.
NEXT!
Oh yes he did.
A white social studies teacher attempted to enliven a seventh-grade discussion of slavery by binding the hands and feet of two black girls, prompting outrage from one girlâs mother and the local chapter of the NAACP. After the mother complained to Haverstraw Middle School, the superintendent said he was having âconversations with our staff on how to deliver effective lessons.â
âIf a student was upset, then it was a bad idea,â said Superintendent Brian Monahan of the North Rockland School District in New York Cityâs northern suburbs.
The teacher apologized to the mother who complained and her 13-year-old daughter during a meeting Thursday that also included a representative of the local NAACP. But the mother, Christine Shand of Haverstraw, said Friday she thinks the teacher should be removed from the class.
âI think the teacher should have gotten some discipline,â Shand said. âI know if that was me, I would be uncomfortable going back to that class. Why should my daughter have to switch?â
Monahan refused to say what, if any, measures were taken against the teacher, Eileen Bernstein, who was still working on Friday. The school district said she was not available for comment.
âWe encourage our teachers to deliver the curriculum in a variety of ways, to go beyond just reading the textbook,â the superintendent said. âWe donât want to discourage creativity. But this obviously went wrong because the student was upset.â
Uhm…. These people ought not to be allowed near cars. Much less teach.
This deserves a big, fat, honkin’….:
Replying to this Bunch of Drivel:
As I discussed with economic guru Brian Wesbury on tonight’s show, the GOP should demand a real concession as part of a quick deal to get Detroit cash. I think the price from the Dems should be a cut in the corporate tax rate for MI- and OH-headquartered businesses to Ireland’s 12.5%. As Wesbury said, it would spark a huge economic revival in the Wolverine and Buckeye states –just huge. And the teaching moment would be huge as well.
Detroit is going to get the money now or in February. So get something worth having, House and Senate GOP.
Uh, Hugh? Has anyone bothered to inform you that you all are in the minority in Congress? I mean, you all had your chance in 2003 till 2006 to stop the economic crisis and you sat around and did nothing. You ought to hope that “The One” does not force the desolving of the G.O.P. and outlaws Conservatism in General.
Somehow, I highly doubt at Tax decrease would even help. We’re in a recession, in case you didn’t know. Of course, being the wealthy radio star and all, I would not expect you to know this.
Unlike some, I happen to think that it is an excellent video.
Here it is:
How anyone can say that the U.A.W. put the big three where they are now, is beyond me. They did not design the shit cars that the big three were building. Anyone who says that the U.A.W. is to blame is; 1. Anti-Union and 2. An ASSHOLE in my book.
All this argument is for nought , because Congress has agreed to float the big three with some money.
Glad to see that the people in congress in Washington D.C. have finally, decided that we, the people here in the Motor City are people too. It just never ceases to amaze me, that the people on capital hill will float 8.5 trillion to the various Banks and ask for nothing in return, but you let G.M., Ford and Chrysler ask for help and it turns into a fucking circus. It just does not make sense and it speaks to the attitude towards the working class in this country of those on Capital Hill. The only Conservative that I have any remote respect for, Patrick J. Buchanan; has been the only one speaking out in thier defense, the rest are assholes. Period, Plain and simple.
Oh, yes! Let’s bail out Wall St., but to hell with Main Street! đ
Morons, Assholes, and self righteous pigs. All of them! đĄ
Not to continually link to her Blog. But Michelle Malkin reports that some jackass twerps stole a bunch of blankets that were supposed to be going to some of our Military overseas. This wasn’t just random punk kids, there were fucking commie liberals, who hate our Military.
Anyhow, they could use the help.
Go read more about at Michelle’s Blog.
Michelle Malkin reports that some of those idiotic Communist Code Pink idiots are fighting mad (What else is new?) over a nuke-free zone law.
Strange crowd indeed.
Here’s the e-mail that Michelle Got:
Code Pinkâs very upset about it and forwarded it around. The key bit is that the Berkeley Public Library wants a waiver to get around the Berkeley Nuclear Free Zone laws (because they canât do business with 3M otherwise).
Itâs amusing in its own wayâŚ
Hi Berkeley People!
Who would ever have believed that this law that has been on the City of Berkeley books for 22 years in our town is now in jeopardy! Not only that but it[‘]s because of our beloved Berkeley Public Library! This is a situation that would make Kafka, himself, shudder!
The present dilemma starts with the Radio Frequency Identification Dâs (RFID)-these are the chips now in all library books to track them AND you when you carry said book. They were purchased from the company, âCheckpointâ who then turned the (expired) contract over to 3M.
Since 3M is a manufacturer of munitions and depleted uranium with connections to Honeywell and Boeing, it is against the law for Berkeley to do business with them because of the Nuclear Free Status Law.
Thatâs why the library is requesting Berkeley to institute a 2 year waiver to rescind our Nuclear Free Status.
This waiver, which is now before the Berk. Peace & Justice Commission of the Berkeley City Council, could allow nuclear material to be transported through our town. In Berkeley we also have an important reputation as a peace city-this obviously would be in tatters.
The library doesnât want to go to a bar-code system; itâs easier for them to keep the status quo even though the cost is $70,000/year to maintain this invasive of privacy system that also requires the waiver of the above mentioned law.
The Nuclear Free Law is more relevant now than ever!
PLEASE call/write your council person to take action on this matter. The Peace & Justice Comm has tabled the issue until its next meting in Jan. as no decision could be made at the Dec 1 meeting.
I believe the next meeting will be on Jan 5th. 2009.
A strange bunch, they are.
Nothing more humorous, than bunch of Dyke Commies with nothing to do. đ
Obama’s friends, Remember that. đŽ
Oh Man, this is too funny!
Obama’s Speechwriter got busted…..on Facebook!
On Left Obama Speech Writer Jon Favreau
Question No. 58 in the transition team vetting document for the Obama White House asks that applicants: “Please provide the URL address of any websites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity (e.g. Facebook, My Space, etc.)”
Question No. 63 asks that applicants “please provide any other information … that could … be a possible source of embarrassment to you, your family, or the President-Elect.”
For a while there this afternoon, President-elect Barack Obama’s immensely talented chief speechwriter, 27-year-old Jon Favreau, might have been pondering how to address that question.
That’s when some interesting photos of a recent party he attended — including one where he’s dancing with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of secretary of state-designate Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, and another where he’s placed his hand on the cardboard former first lady’s chest while a friend is offering her lips a beer — popped up on Facebook for about two hours. The photos were quickly taken down — along with every other photo Favreau had of himself on the popular social networking site, save for one profile headshot.
Asked about the photos, Favreau, who was recently appointed director of speechwriting for the White House, declined comment. A transition official said that Favreau had “reached out to Senator Clinton to offer an apology.”
Favreau is not the first campaign aide whose online presence has proved awkward. Last March, John McCain aide Soren Dayton forwarded an anti-Obama YouTube video to his private Twitter feed linking Obama with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, leading to his suspension from the campaign. And in 2007, two bloggers hired by former North Carolina senator John Edwards stepped down after blog posts they had written before he hired them became a subject of controversy.
Favreau’s case seems unlikely to be so dire; Clinton senior adviser Philippe Reines cast the photos as evidence of increased bonhomie between the formerly rival camps.
“Senator Clinton is pleased to learn of Jon’s obvious interest in the State Department, and is currently reviewing his application,” he said in an e-mail.
ROFLMAO! đ I bet they are reviewing his application! đ HA!
Yes They can! Yes they did! and… Yes, they got caught! đ
Never, never, never, post stuff on facebook that you do not want coming back to hunt you!
