Voices on Recording May Not Have Been From Iranian Speedboats (Via ABC NEWS.COM

Just two days after the U.S. Navy released the eerie video of Iranian speedboats swarming around American warships, which featured a chilling threat in English, the Navy is saying that the voice on the tape could have come from the shore or from another ship

The near-clash occurred over the weekend in the Strait of Hormuz. On the U.S.-released recording, a voice can be heard saying to the Americans, "I am coming to you. You will explode after a few minutes."

The Navy never said specifically where the voices came from, but many were left with the impression they had come from the speedboats because of the way the Navy footage was edited.

Today, the spokesperson for the U.S. admiral in charge of the Fifth Fleet clarified to ABC News that the threat may have come from the Iranian boats, or it may have come from somewhere else.

We’re saying that we cannot make a direct connection to the boats there," said the spokesperson. "It could have come from the shore, from another ship passing by. However, it happened in the middle of all the very unusual activity, so as we assess the information and situation, we still put it in the total aggregate of what happened Sunday morning. I guess we’re not saying that it absolutely came from the boats, but we’re not saying it absolutely didn’t."

I must confess, I had my doubts about the voice recording myself. But I was nowhere near this Moonbat here:

If a bully stands outside your house with rocks and a baseball bat and you’ve seen them break your next door neighbours windows with rocks and the previous owner of the house had their windows broken by the same bully throwing rocks, would you let them throw rocks at your windows or would you confront them? Who is threatening who in this scenario? FDR provoked Japan into attacking the fleet at Pearl Harbour so that international bankers and arms manufacturers could get their hands on US money through war loans and the interest repayments as profit from WWII. The Gulf of Tonkin Incident (which I notice no warmongers have mentioned) was fabricated by the same aforementioned international bankers & arms manufacturers as the pretext for more profits in an unnecessary & unwinnable war in Vietnam. The same agents provocateurs armed Saddam Hussien to the teeth then invited him to retake Kuwait into the pre-WWI borders of Iraq as a pretext for GWI. GWII (The Invasion) was already in the pipeline along with the forced removal of the Taliban/AlQuaida (both of which were created by the CIA incidentally) and 9/11 was the excuse for that. Iran was a peaceful nation ruled by Mosadek who was ousted by the CIA and then ruled tyranically by the Shah (MI6 & CIA stooge), The Iranians then bravely took their destiny & freedom into their own hands & got rid of him, for which the CIA/international bankers/MI6/arms manufacturers never forgave them… Iran has a LOT of oil. BTW the wiretaps 6 months before 9/11 were to find out if anyone had found out about the plans to REALLY fly planes into the WTC, the Pentagon and Congress, not just the cover excersizes. Martial Law would have been implemented had the Military obayed orders to allow Flight 93 to continue on it’s diabolical mission. They shot it down and the world was saved from the prospect of God only knows!

To Shuck and Jive

Posted on

Ouch! This will come to bite Hillary in the behind.

And Cuomo Too (Updated)

”It’s not a TV crazed race. Frankly you can’t buy your way into it,” Cuomo said. “You can’t shuck and jive at a press conference,” he added. “All those moves you can make with the press don’t work when you’re in someone’s living room.”

Sounds like someone’s got a problem with black people.

In cause you’re wondering  This is what "shuck and jive" means:

"To shuck and jive" originally referred to the intentionally misleading words and actions that African-Americans would employ in order to deceive racist Euro-Americans in power, both during the period of slavery and afterwards. The expression was documented as being in wide usage in the 1920s, but may have originated much earlier.

"Shucking and jiving" was a tactic of both survival and resistance. A slave, for instance, could say eagerly, "Oh, yes, Master," and have no real intention to obey. Or an African-American man could pretend to be working hard at a task he was ordered to do, but might put up this pretense only when under observation. Both would be instances of "doin’ the old shuck ‘n jive."

Something tells me this is going to get bigger before the day is out.

Others Agree.

Editorial: No, It is not a fake

It could never be said that I could be accused of being a water carrier or a cheerleader for this current Presidential Administration.  I am about as close to being a water carrier for the Republican Party as Madalyn Murray O’Hair was a missionary to Christianity.  However, I find myself being greatly offended by those, who actually call themselves American citizens, you know, those on the more Liberal side of the political fence, who claim that they support our troops?

Yesterday, I was looking at my usual source for news stories that are hot in the Blogging world, and I happen to come across a story that basically accuses our Military of lying about producing a video that shows our Military being taunted by Iran’s revolutionary guard.  Frankly, the very idea that our Military personnel would risk their careers to produce fraudulent material for the purpose of political gain is laughable to those of us who live in the real world.  I really do believe that Mr. Hooman Majd should really look into getting a job working for Alex Jones; it could only help his rather flimsy resume.

Not to mention with a last name like that, it is quite obvious which side he has taken in this war on terror that does exist in this country, despite the attempt by the far left to pretend that it does not even exist.  While I am more progressive minded conservative, I find myself increasingly disappointed by the lunatic fringe mentality of the Liberals in this country.  The reason for this, is it makes us more “Middle of the Road” type people look stupid, I mean, I am as disappointed in this President as anyone, but my gosh, has the factual reasoning of the American people as whole collectively gone out the window?

I can hear the screams of the far left, “But look what Bush has done!” and I understand where they are coming from, Yes, our President was wrong, his intelligence people were totally wrong, they have admitted this, time and time again.  However, to sit and accuse the United States Military of aiding and abetting the President in some sort of political scheme is borderline treason, in my humble opinion.

Barack Hussein Obama, Johnny Reid Edwards, and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton all say that they want to bring change in this Country.  Let me be the first to suggest to these people that the first thing they need to do, is to speak to the far left lunatic fringe within the Democrat Party and tell them to stop dragging our Military into their collective political bitch with the Government.  I can understand the complaints that they have with the politics in Washington D.C., but for the sake of Almighty God, leave our men and women in uniform the hell out of it, please.

Breaking News: Gov. Bill Richardson to Drop out of Race

Gov. Bill Richardson to drop out of Race says AP (Via Townhall.com

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ended his campaign for the presidency Wednesday after twin fourth-place finishes that showed his impressive credentials could not compete with his rivals’ star power.

Richardson planned to announce the decision Thursday, according to two people close to the governor with knowledge of the decision. They spoke on a condition of anonymity in advance of the governor’s announcement.

The Richardson campaign would not comment on the governor’s decision, reached after a meeting with his top advisers Wednesday in New Mexico.

I hate to see it, I hate to see this guy go. I believe he was one of the more qualified persons for the job. But he was shut out due to his lack to star power.

I wish Gov. Richardson all the best in future endeavors.

Update: Richardson’s Camp Deny’s the report

Editorial: Yes, There is a black man running for President

Editorial: Yes, There is a black man running for President

              I had thought about writing an editorial for this web site for a while, however, I was worried that my feelings within my writings would be misconstrued as liberal or I would simply be misunderstood as a troublemaker or something to that effect.  I ask one to not make this fatal mistake, when it comes to reading this, as it comes from a concerned person.

             The reason for my sudden need to write is the fact there is something quite ugly that is creeping into this election race, something that is rising it’s ugly head, something that should have been eliminated from the discourse of the America language.  That is the thing we call racism.

             While it is not blatant and outward, like it was in 1960’s, it is subtle and cunning, and frankly, it is wrong.  This week I had a electronic mail message that was delivered to my computer’s mailbox, in this message was a link to a story from the Conservative owned news magazine Newsmax.  The story essentially accused Senator Obama’s spiritual adviser or what we common people call Pastors, of being a white hating racist bigot. 

             Whether this story is true or not, is of no interest to me whatsoever.  If Senator Obama’s Pastor wants to believe that the United States of America is a racist nation, so be it.  If Senator Obama’s Pastor wants to believe that there are pink elephants under his bed, it is fine with me.  The fact that Obama’s Pastor holds to a particular set of beliefs does not reflect on Senator Obama at all.  I find it highly disturbing that a Magazine such as Newsmax, which is a Conservative owned magazine, which upholds and promotes the principles guaranteed by the first amendment of the United States Constitution would make an attack on a man’s Pastor for having an opinion and expressing it in his Church.  I ask you obtusely, since when did it become against the law to have an opinion and be able to express that opinion?  Has the United States of America become so consumed by the poison of political correctness that it has become a federal crime in the court of properness to have a set of particular beliefs?

             You see, I know all about the intolerance within political camps, I used to have a Blog, which resided on a domain address.  During the course of owning a Blog on said domain address, I allowed myself to become involved in a “sniping match” with another Blogger, during this I made an off the cuff comment which went well beyond the limits of good taste.  As a result, my Blog was hacked and the entire contents and settings erased.  I suspect that a group of so-called “Conservatives” had something to do with it, although, I have other names for them, none of which I can repeat here.  However, I did apologize many times over for the comment, however this was not good enough for these people, and this was the result.

            What troubles me is that this Presidential race has become about the one thing that the founder fathers of this Nation did not intend for it to become.  That is Religion.  Another is the fact that so many Conservatives are intent on believing and are bent on spreading is the lie of Senator Obama being a Muslim plant. While he might be black, tall, and skinny and have enormously large ears, I seriously doubt that he is a secret agent from Mecca, bent on subverting and converting us all to Islam.  He is no more this, that I am an undercover agent for the Fundamentalist Christian movement to subvert all Evangelicals to my way of believing the Bible.  

             This is not to say that Conservatives should not challenge Senator Obama.  He is a bona fide Liberal; He is someone who subscribes to the socialist mindset, he is someone that believes that bigger Government is better Government, He is someone that believes that it is okay to kill innocent babies for the sake of avoiding responsibility.  He is someone that believes that we should negotiate with terrorists that want to destroy America and everything that our flag stands for.  We as Conservatives and the Presidential Candidates who represent those ideologies should challenge him on his principles and his principles alone.  We should not be attacking him on his skin color; his religious affiliation or anything else related to this mans personal life.  But rather challenging his political ideologies and raising the question as to whether his political views and ideologies are what is right for this country in a time of war.   

             I believe that it is about time that the Conservative movement is released from the shackles of the forefathers of the movement and realize that the African-American race is not going to hurt us and is not out to destroy the Anglo Saxon race.  I believe that the Conservative movement as a whole needs to adapt to the ideals expressed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963, in which men; Jews, Gentiles, Protestants, and Catholics would be judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin. 

             I believe that until this truly happens, the Conservative movement and the Republican Party will be seen by those who truly do not understand, as a movement that is backward in thinking, practice, and ideology.  My friend this is something that we cannot allow to happen if Conservatism is to survive in the decades to come. 

Thank you for reading.

Hillary Rodham Clinton pulled off a big New Hampshire win Tuesday night with strong support from Democratic partisans and women, setting the stage for a protracted fight for the nomination over the next month and possibly beyond.

If she wins the nomination. I guess I’ll hold my nose and vote.

I gotta add her damn banner now… Rolling Eyes

Clinton fights tears: "It’s not easy" – Ben Smith’s Blog – Politico.com

Exhausted and facing the prospect of losing the second test of her primary campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton fought back tears as her voice broke at the close of a sedate event in a Portsmouth coffee shop.

She expressed the sheer difficulty of heading out to the trail each day — "It’s not easy," she said — and suggested she faced "pretty difficult odds.

Little liberal lady crying ’cause she’s losing. Nice try, no sympathy here. Old guard crying cause they’re not going to get back in the White House.

I hate to say it, but this crap here, is totally disgusting. 

Go here to read it, If you can do it, without getting sick.

I mean, really guys, don’t you think that’s just hitting a little below the belt?

I mean, first it was his middle name, then it was the lies about him being a Muslim plant, now it’s outright racist tinged low-brow humor. 

I hate to say it, but I will, and I am very white, thank you very much. The same simple-minded mentality that produced these so-called "funny" pictures is the same mentality that provoked this famous speech from January 14, 1963. an excerpt:

Today I have stood, where once Jefferson Davis stood, and took an oath to my people. It is very appropriate then that from this Cradle of the Confederacy, this very Heart of the Great Anglo-Saxon Southland, that today we sound the drum for freedom as have our generations of forebears before us done, time and time again through history. Let us rise to the call of freedom-loving blood that is in us and send our answer to the tyranny that clanks its chains upon the South. In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny . . . and I say . . . segregation today . . . segregation tomorrow . . . segregation forever. – 1963 Inaugural Address of Governor George C. Wallace

We can do be better people, we’ve come a long way since that time, let’s try acting like it for a change.

This sort of nonsense should not be tolerated, at all and the blogger who posted it, should be shamed publicly.

Can we have a little sanity here, Please?

I seen this and meant to comment earlier. Sorry for the delay.

Why I Believe Bush Must Go By George McGovern (via WaPo)

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.

After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach President Richard M. Nixon for his misconduct during the campaign. I thought that my joining the impeachment effort would be seen as an expression of personal vengeance toward the president who had defeated me.

Today I have made a different choice.

I’ve read the reactions, on the left it’s approval and of the right it is, as expected, total rejection.

Here is a little voice of common sense, from a right of center Moderate. (that would be me! Big Grin)

President George W. Bush is only going to be in office for the remainder of this year. I think, unless some Republicans have a major change of heart. Congress is NOT going to be able to pass a resolution demanding articles of impeachment for the President. They just do not have the votes. The only way that anyone is going to be able to get the President and his staff Prosecuted for crimes committed while in office is to pressure the NEXT President to remove his executive privilege, this would never happen, as it has never happened before and it would be political suicide for anyone to attempt anything of this nature.

Honestly, at this point, I think a impeachment trial would be absolutely pointless and, quite frankly, a waste of time and tax payers money.

As much as I dislike this President, as much as I know of how he bungled the lead up to the war and the response after Saddam fell. As much as I know, that is all true, I’m afraid there it little anyone can do. I mean there are limits on what can be done to him, due to our constitution.

I mean, all this rhetoric sounds good and all. But in reality, it’s all nothing more than, just that, talk and empty rhetoric.

My Take on the Debates

Posted on

On the Republican Side. I really did not see a clear "winner". I think that the barbs back and forth were totally uncalled for. I mean, They are supposed to be debating issues, not name calling and mud slinging. Although the off the cuff comments by McCain to Romney were great. Although, Huckabee needs to just leave Romney alone. I mean, Romney has him beat money-wise like 10 to 1, he could bury him, if he wanted to.

The Republicans really need to thin that herd out. There’s just too many of them.

Ron Paul is an total idiot, he needs to go to the Libertarian Party. I mean, he’s coming off looking like the resident psycho of the group. He hasn’t got a snowball’s chance in Hades, so, why continue? It just makes the party look bad.

Fred Thompson came off as totally unmotivated, I think he’ll be out by this coming Tuesday.

On the Democratic side, the barbs between Hillary and Edwards and Obama and Edwards looked totally staged.

As far as a "winner" on the Democratic side, I think Edwards and Obama looked good. They did hold the "Change" banner up and defended it well, Hillary started out well, but ended up looking like a "screaming meme" at the end. It was all about her bragging about how much experience she has. I think people will pick up on that come time for the vote.

Richardson is a nice man, too nice for this race, I look for him to drop out, come this vote, he’s already laid off staffers.

And there you have it, the official of center guy’s take on the Debates.

We made it what it is.

But your Republicans and your Conservative greedy company owners who wanted to build products cheaper, sold us out. By sending products overseas.

and of course, you will say, “But the Democrats are the one’s who passed nafta!” True, They did.

But your rich Republican business owners WERE ALREADY sending jobs overseas and they pressured congress to pass nafta with their powerful lobbies.

Fox’s Bill O’Reilly in confrontation with Obama staffer at rally.

Fox News host Bill O’Reilly got into a confrontation with an Obama aide after O’Reilly started screaming at him as he tried to get Barack Obama’s attention following a rally here. O’Reilly eventually did chat briefly with Obama and asked him to be a guest on his show

I must confess. I would have loved to see the secret service slamming Bill O’s idiot noggin’ on the ground.

I think he should have been arrested. He was breaking the rules, he was not where he was supposed to be. You notice he didn’t challenge the secret service.

Of course, BillO spins it to his advantage. But it’s of course, Bullshit. Something he’s known for.

What more can you expect from a guy who sexually harasses his employees?

Why they Booed.

Posted on

I was reading over on Time’s Blog about Hillary getting Boo’ed by the crowd.

Why did they boo? I know why.

Because people want change in this country. Hillary simply does not represent that, period.

She simply represents an extension of the Clinton dynasty. Plain and Simple. 

What cracks me up is the Republicans lamenting because they won’t have her to kick around during the general election. They can’t kick around Obama, least they be accused of being racist bigots. It is quite funny.

Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa

Posted on

 Wow! What a race!

Huckabee and Obama win in Iowa Via Politico:

Mike Huckabee won a convincing victory among Republicans Thursday night, while Democrat Barack Obama posted a narrow and historic win over Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards as Iowans rendered the first  true judgments of the 2008 presidential cycle.

Huckabee was declared the winner at 9 p.m. Eastern time, easily besting Mitt Romney – a storyline that was unthinkable just weeks ago. With 41 percent of precincts reporting, Huckabee led Romney by a 31 to 23 percent margin.

Obama was called the winner just before 9:30 p.m.

Truly this is a political election of change. People are tired of the status quo, and people have voted with change. Huckabee represents that change on the Right and Obama on the Left.

I look for this to be a very interesting race. I look forward to following it.

Of course, Romney remains optimistic:

"Congratulations for the first round to Mike," Romney said on Fox News just before 9 p.m. Romney said that despite the disappointing results, he still felt that he would ultimately "be the one with the nomination”

Translation: Congrads, But I’m still going to win! Hee hee

I have seen on MSNBC and I have read that turn out was doubled this time. Where there were like 80 people in a district in 2004. There were hundreds this time. This is good, it seems that the American people are interested in this Election. This is such a good thing.

I just look forward to the spin that Hillary and the other candidates that didn’t do so well, spin this to their advantage. 

Liberal Blogs Readership down and Conservative Blogs Readership up.

Posted on

I have a Opinion as to why this is.

Bloggasm: Readership of major liberal blogs declined in 2007 while conservative blog readership increased

It has long been understood that the largest liberal blogs have generally produced more web traffic than the largest conservative blogs. But I have noticed a general trend over the past few months that I didn’t want to write about until the end of the year. After surveying the traffic stats of many major political blogs, I found that web traffic for several major liberal blogs either declined sharply or stayed the same while major conservative blogs saw a sharp increase in traffic.

The very plain and simple reason that this is, is because people are tired of Propaganda.  Some progressive minded people do not want us to just pull out of Iraq and leave that country in total tatters. Some of us, believe that there is a real war on terror and that it is not a figment of our imagination.  While I am not a fan of Faux Noise, aka Fox News and their Republican Neo-Conservative Propaganda. I am also not a fan of DailyKos and their far lefty loon nonsense either.

People want facts, and not political agendas. Period. Plain and Simple.

New Iowa Poll: Obama pulls past Hillary Clinton

Posted on

New poll numbers…….

New Iowa Poll: Obama widens lead over Clinton

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has widened his lead in Iowa over Hillary Clinton and John Edwards heading into Thursday’s nominating caucuses, according to The Des Moines Register’s final Iowa Poll before the 2008 nominating contests.

Obama’s rise is the result in part of a dramatic influx of first-time caucus-goers, including a sizable bloc of political independents. Both groups prefer the Illinois senator in what has been a very competitive campaign.

With Obama at 32% and Hillary at 25%, it is quite obvious, people want change and Obama offers that.  Hillary is just a continuation of Bill Clinton. I believe people see that.

I’m not too concerned about his Religion. I could care less. This race is not about Religion, It is not about skin color, it is not about Islam vs Christianity. It is about who is the person that can lead this Country, who can steer this Country away from the idiot nonsense that the Bush Administration has created. It is about electing a President that can protect the American people, not with lies and fear mongering, like Rudy Giuliani. But rather with honesty and integrity.  Something that has not been in the White House, or in Washington D.C. entirely for the last 6 years.

Let us hope that the caucus-goers choose the right person.
