A little housekeeping note

You might have noticed some changes around the place.

I’ve removed that Ad in the left sidebar. Because, at times, it was displaying the same ad as the one at the very top of the blog. Also, I moved the ad that was at the very top, above ever thing down above the ad for the Amazon bookstore. This is because that ad way up there, to me, was a distraction from the site. I did not like it there; but it did seem to bring some clicks.

The idea folks is this; I know there are people that come here, who hate the ads; I get that okay? I do want to make a little money on this blog. However, I do know how it feels to go to a blog or website and it be filled to the brim with ads — so much that it makes one want to close the browser in disgust. I am also going to give some of them ads in the left column some time and if they do not start making a profit; I will be canning those too. I believe in free market principles; and if an ad is not bringing any sort of a profit, I just will not sit and force my viewers to look at something that is not bringing a profit.

Anyhow, hope you like the changes.

Your Host,

-Pat

Taking a Break

I will be taking the next day and the weekend off. I just need a break folks.

There will be a posting going up on September 11 that I wrote today.

I just need to get away from politics for a little bit.

If anything big breaks, I will come back and write about it. But otherwise, I’ll be away for a bit.

I hope you all understand. 🙂

Until I return, check out The Other McCain, Memeorandum and HotAir for your political fix.

An Apology

It appears that Alan Simpson and I have something in common.  We have the tendency to open our mouths before engaging what little brains we have left.

It appears that I have committed a major sin.  I shot my rather large mouth off; I was trying to defend someone, who calls herself a moderate Conservative.  However, in all reality is nothing more than a liberal Conservative; in the process of doing such, I, when I originally posted the entry, used some terms and wordage that is not consider decent and acceptable language in all quarters.  I, as always, was strictly, “shooting from the hip” as they call it.  Unfortunately, I ended up shooting myself in the damned foot instead; I am good at that sort of a thing.  I did clean up the post, to avoid problems; but as they say, the internet is forever.  I however did post a defense of my actions.  However, I really did not address the fact that I really should not have went there.  Which I did, and I do now regret that very highly.

Therefore, to my faithful readers, if you are even still there; to the two women of whom I did firmly insult and to the owner of said blog, I offer my most humble apologies.  Sometimes in the heat of the battle, we say and do things, that looking back on — we really just should not do.

As a Christian, I do not claim to be a perfect mortal, simply forgiven by God — Daily.

I will be sending a link of this posting to all parties involved.  I hope that they can find the place to forgive an old fool like me.

Nuremberg Defense

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

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

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

I said the J-Word!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Memeorandum drops me again

Good old Memeorandum removed me from the list of blogs to scan again.

It’s my own damned fault too. 🙄

I’ve been staying up a bit late and not been getting up early.

Anyhow, I’m cutting out the late nights. I got to make this project work and sleeping half the day away is not going to get it done.

Wowzers! 😯

Thanks to all the faithful and the new people!

End of Week Tip Jar Rattle

Figured I would get this done early, so I would not forget to do it.

I know times are very tough. But I could use the help. It is not about money with me. But I am among the many unemployed in this Country. Michigan has been hit especially hard around here; I realize that, and if you cannot help, I totally understand that. Just pray that the Lord will provide me some sort of an income.

However, if you happen to really enjoy what I write about here and you would like to help out. Click the Tip Jar below and give what you can… It goes for a good cause. Supports me, pays the hosting bill. (Yes, contrary to what you might have heard, I do pay a hosting bill here, it’s not much, but it is a bill.) It might actually buy me a car, if I ever got enough. Yes, I do need a car. I could use many things. But I shall not dwell on it.

Thanks for any kind of help that you can give!

-Patrick
Head Fatso in Charge


This will post remain sticky until Monday.

Fatty this

There are times when I utter detest being a blogger and being connected to this hyper-social media world of Facebook, Twitter and all of the other idiotic nonsense needed to promote my writing prose and my ability to expound on politics and such.  Because one can do something simple and small and before one knows it, it is amplified to the point of being a huge controversy.  In other words, social media has the uncanny ability to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Another reason why I have grown to detest this entire social media experience is that it has forced us to become very dependent upon it.  If you think I am wrong about that, just allow Twitter, Facebook or any of the other popular social media sites to go down due to a technical glitch.  The way most of the users of these services act when they go down; one would have thought that someone poisoned the Nation’s food supply or something.  I am not pointing the finger at others and absolving myself of blame — not at all.  I am one of the guilty parties!  Dependence on electronic devices and mediums scares the living pants off me.  When I was growing up, computers were seen as a novelty; now they are an integral part of our lives.  Social media has taken that dependency to another more frightening level.  No, I am not ready to dig out my bunker just yet.  However, the level dependency on social media makes me wonder if there ever was large disaster that hit the United States, and everything was knocked out; power, internet — everything.  What would we all do? I mean no twitter, no facebook, and no internet.  It is truly enough to make someone scream!  (Not to mention, just a wee bit paranoid…)

OK.  I wrote all that fancy sounding literary willy-nilly up there to get to a point. A young man by the name of Andy Baio wrote a very nice script for that is used in Firefox, which is an open source web browser — which works quite well by the way.  Anyhow, the script suddenly stopped working.  Which naturally produced one of those, “ZOMG! HALP! IT DON’T WORK! ELEVENTY!!1!”—- sort of moments with me.  Here again, this is more of that dependence on electronic gizmos, and internet.  The script takes a site called “Memeornadum”, which is a site that scans news sites and also scans blogs for reactions to those news stories — and colors the blog reactions according to, supposedly, their political leanings — Red for Conservative and Blue for liberal. Now, does my life depend on this little script?  No.  Will my existence as a normal breathing human being cease if this script is not updated?  No.  However, it is God-awfully nice to have!  It is very nice to be able to glance at Memeornadum, and see a story and see which side is reacting to which story and how they are reacting.  Without having to think, “Okay, this guy is a liberal, and this guy is a Conservative…”  The script does all that for you. Again, more of that dependence and brain drain that I keep hearing about.

As for my defense as to why I jumped on Andy Baio.  I have but one defense.  One, I am a hard ass okay?  I did not serve in the military; I was just too damned dumb.  I dropped out in the 11’th grade.  I have A.D.H.D.; my math skills are, frankly, shitty.  I did however; enroll in the school of hard knocks or as I like to call it; the school hard knocks and bloody knuckles.  Two, I am a political blogger and often times; I make the stupid mistake of looking at everything through the prism of damned politics. It is a personal flaw of mine.

I just assumed, when I did not see an updated script by Andy Baio, within a day; that he might have thought, “That guy is a right winger, I am not helping him.”  Yes, I jumped the gun.  Yes, I was wrong.  There, are you narcissistic bastards happy now?  Happy to see a man, who is just struggling to get by with about twenty bucks in his damned back account, fall to his knees, and lick the damned curb?  Is that what you fucking want from me? Please, you all are not worth all of that.  I am man enough to admit when I screw up, but I will be damned if I will ever kiss anyone’s ass.  I have not kissed anyone’s ass in the 38 years, that I have been on this planet, and I am not about to start now.

Furthermore, to address the comments made on twitter about me being a “Fatty.”  First, how fucking 8’th grade playground-like can you guys be?  I mean, seriously. I have but one reply, which I did say on twitter — Come say that crap to my face.  I can guarantee you this; you would not walk away, maybe on a stretcher, when I was done kicking your ass.  That is the “threats” referred to by Andy Baio.  To be clear, Andy never called me “Fatty” or anything else.  So, this is not directed at him, at all.  It is directed at the “keyboard commandos,” who talk a good game of bullshit behind a keyboard. However, face to face, they do not have much to say.

Therefore, there it is — my side of the damned story — the first and last thing that I ever want to say about the said subject.  I am turning off the comments and pingbacks on this posting.  Because frankly, I have better things to do than respond to stupidity like this.

More Stupidity from the Moderation Que

Here’s what I have to deal with, pretty much on a daily basis around here:

It appears I hit a nerve with the liberals, again… It is my job, I wear a badge. 😀

Comment:
<i>And this is because, when you kick your husband out, you’ve got to have Big Brother government to be your provider. . . .”</i>

This insane statement is not a “fact.”

This is funny too: <i>you could not make <b>no better decision</b> to protect you and your Family’s future.</i>

P.S.: English, not German. We English-users don’t just randomly capitalize words (“Family”) because we think they’re important.

Typical Liberal nonsense, when you cannot argue facts, you stoop to insults.

As a said before:

….as are most, if not all, liberals.

If you have come looking for the Scott Roeder, Tiller Murder posting

Basically, I deleted it.

Here’s why: I’ve been noticing that there have been people linking to that story. The people who have been doing this have their own agendas. Some of which, I am not interested in being a part of. So, I killed the posting.

Normally, as a rule, I do not delete my postings, unless I fear problems. But, in this case, I felt the need to make an exception.

Dr. Tiller’s murder was a tragic thing, and I do not want to be accused to encouraging someone to do it again to another doctor.

Yes, Dr. Killer was a baby killer, but Dr. Tiller’s Murderer was also a killer. Two wrongs, do not make a right.

That is all.

As of today: I am no longer an “Right of Center” Blogger

This decision is not one that I just made flippantly. It is one that has been coming for a long time; ever since the election actually or shortly afterward.

This is not to say that I am siding again with the Democrats, oh hell no. 🙄  But I am basically divorcing myself from what I really never was in the first place. As you know, if you read the “About Me” section and the “About this Blog” section on here; that I am, and really always was an independent. I was just an Independent, who sided with the right, when it came to Obama and the Democratic Party.

However, here in the last few weeks, it seems that the Republican Party and the Conservative Blogosphere has become entrenched in some very blatant stupidity. Like the stupid “Sword Fight” with the NAACP over racism; meanwhile stories like the Republican murdered in Tennessee are all but ignored.  I am for the preservation of American values and American Jobs, but what I am not for, is stupid partisan nonsense which has been coming from the Conservative Blogosphere as of late.

There is much more that I could write about this; but I really think you all know what I mean. I mean, the right Blogosphere has all but imposed a blackout on my blog; because some dirt-bag decided that I was not a “True Conservative”; whatever that is…. Anyhow, I guess because I did not suck up to Michelle Malkin and posted one of her old addresses, because she decided to stalk a family, who’s child was badly injured in an auto accident — that makes me a fake Conservative. Pfft, As if. 🙄 Her true Conservatism was exposed as a fraud to many, when she offloaded HotAir, because it was supposedly a “bad investment”, which sums up her entire “Conservatism” —– a money-making deception. For what it is worth; I was not the person who exposed where she lived in Maryland, which made her have to move to Colorado. Even I am not that big of an asshole. Malkin has kids and I’d never do a thing to hurt a kid. I posted that old address, BEFORE I even knew she had any kids. The rumor that was told to me, is that the idiots over at Democratic Underground were a part of that little stunt. But, I cannot confirm that, so take it for what it is worth.

Anyhow, I made some changes. I removed the blogrolls, I removed my blog from the Ad-Hives on BlogAds. I’ll keep the BlogAds Advertisements on there. But, I don’t plan on pimping myself out to anything on the right or the left anymore. I will continue to blog about crap that pisses me off in the World of politics; but don’t expect me to accept any stupid narratives anymore. I will say what I damned well feel about stuff and if anyone does not like it. They can go screw themselves. I just really do not give two craps anymore about this idiotic nonsense.

Will I continue blogging? Yes. I do not plan on going anywhere. I am just very pissed off at what I thought were my friends on the right. Truthfully, I was nothing more than a useful idiot to those bastards.

Anyhow, I am off to take a much needed nap. I may also take a few weeks off from blogging. Because at this point; this shit ain’t fun anymore. 🙁

See ya

-Pat

A short note of thanks

To Doug over at American Power for the link love from His Blog and Right Wing News.

My warmest welcome to the readers of these blogs.

The story is this; Doug was not on BlogAds and I got him an invite to join it. Doug and I don’t agree on everything. But he is a decent person. So, as someone who’s gotten my share of breaks in the Conservative Blogosphere; I thought I would help him out.

So, to the readers of both of these fine Blogs. I simply will tell you this. I might not be the perfect image of what some of you might consider a “Perfect Conservative”; but I am definitely not what I was, politically, about ten or so years ago or even maybe back in 2006, when I first started into blogging. Also, I will say this; I am not a partisan blogger, I do not and will not ever, carry water for a political party. I will always speak the truth, as to what I feel about a subject.  I will tell you what I feel, even if it means that I may just chase some readers off. I would rather you know how I feel and you decide that this blog is not for you; than for me to hold back or even lie; just for the sake of your readership and you maybe clicking my ads. Being true to one’s self is more important than any sort of profit to be made on a blog.

Again, welcome to my little humble abode, read the comment rules, and please feel free to speak back to me. 😀

To Doug I say: Merci, bedankt, tak, dankie, falënderim, hvala, and so on….

Technical Issues

Just letting everyone know that the software that my blog uses released an milestone upgrade… and naturally I made a bonehead move during the upgrade.

I am chasing bugs and trying to figure out which plug-in, is not sitting straight and flying right with WordPress 3.0.

The joys of owning your OWN blog and being a one man operation. 🙄

That is all.
