From my Inbox: Environmental group and NYT cohorts?

From the inbox:

This story has yet to be fully exposed.  Please let me know if there is any other information you may need for a blog post!

In a memo recently cited by E&E news, communications firm Clean Energy Work (which can be found at www.scribd.com/doc/34382420/Clean-Energy-Works-Memo) outlines the possible method of using the New York Times as a centerpiece of a “tactical campaign” to reframe proposed tax increases on American consumers as “The Big Oil Welfare Tax”.

This is a left wing campaign strategy to use the New York Times as a tool to push a liberal agenda that would increase taxes on energy companies and consumers.

An actual article in the New York Times (“As Oil Industry Fights a Tax, It Reaps Billions From Subsidies”) seems to be one example of this strategy in action.  The article is riddled with inaccuracies and misrepresentations that are easily spotted by anyone with a basic understanding or background in tax policy.

Andrew Langer at the Institute for Liberty has responded to this misinformation in a point by point post at http://www.instituteforliberty.org/index.php?src=blog&category=Blog&submenu=media (original NYT article and CEW memo are also at this page)

Something worth looking at.

Believe it when I see it: Obama to Target CRA

WaPo Reports:

Responding to the collapse in home prices and the huge number of foreclosures, the Obama administration is pursuing an overhaul of government policy that could diverge from the emphasis on homeownership embraced by former administrations.

“In previous eras, we haven’t seen people question whether homeownership was the right decision. It was just assumed that’s where you want to go,” said Raphael Bostic, a senior official in the Department of Housing and Urban Development. “You’re not going to hear us say that.”

Bostic, who has published leading scholarship on homeownership, added that owning a home has a lot of value, but “what we’ve seen in the last four years is that there really is an underside to homeownership.”

The administration’s narrower view of who should own a home and what the government should to do to support them could have major implications for the economy as well as borrowers. Broadly, the administration may wind down some government backing for home loans, but increase the focus on affordable rentals.

The shift in approach could mean higher down payments and interest rates on loans, more barriers to lower-income people buying houses, and fewer homeowners overall, government officials said. But it could also pave the way for a more stable housing market, one with fewer taxpayer dollars on the line and less of a risk that homeowners will not be able to pay their mortgages. And it could spell changes throughout the financial markets, as investors choose new places to put their money if the government withdraws some incentives for investing in the U.S. mortgage market.

I don’t buy it. But, it could happen.

Ed Morrissey, who is one of the more honest right-wing bloggers out there, says:

Will the White House go through with it?  It’s one thing to leak this to the Post.  It’s another thing entirely to follow through with the necessary rulemaking and legislative effort needed to succeed in it.  The Post notes that La Raza, one of the groups that gains material benefit from participating in government programs for these home-ownership efforts, is already unhappy with the idea.  At a time when Obama’s approval ratings are sinking towards Bush levels, this could alienate his ideological base and leave him utterly abandoned in 2012.

Let’s hope Obama commits to this reform.  If he does, it will easily be the most significant economic reform of his tenure, and would represent a significant retreat from the government interventions and social engineering that have ruined the American economy, and could set the stage for even further constraints on federal power.  That would show actual leadership and strength.

Pardon me if I sound about as jaded as an atheist on Easter Sunday; but it would make no sense for President Obama to do this. As it was the Democrats that created this whole mess in the first place. Social engineering is what they do; so, I will not break out the pom poms just yet. I will believe it, when the speculation of the real estate market ends. I will believe when they stop trading mortgages on the stock market. I will believe it when the sub-prime mortgages are gone. I will believe it, when Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac are gone for good.

Until then, I remain unconvinced.

Ousted USDA Official: I am not sure I even want my job back

Can you blame her? (via Today on NBC)

I mean, seriously. To me, this was nothing more than a high tech lynching. If I were a black person and I was in the White House or even remotely close to it in a Governmental position. I would be looking for another job really fast. Because who is to say that BreitBart is not holding onto something else that might damage someone? Of course, that is what the far right wants, they want those “Dirty Niggers” out of the White House and out of the Government. Because of how it is poisoning the White House or whatever stupidity those people happen to believe.

Left Wing Stupidity: Left Wing Journalists want Fox News shut down by Government

Just to show you that I have not gone totally “around the bend”, so to speak. This struck me as just incredibly stupid:

This comes Via Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller:

The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.

“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” Davies, a Brit, frequently argued the United States needed stricter libel laws.

“I agree,” said Michael Scherer of Time Magazine. Roger “Ailes understands that his job is to build a tribal identity, not a news organization. You can’t hurt Fox by saying it gets it wrong, if Ailes just uses the criticism to deepen the tribal identity.”

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “Do you really want the political parties/white house picking which media operations are news operations and which are a less respectable hybrid of news and political advocacy?”

But Zasloff stuck to his position. “I think that they are doing that anyway; they leak to whom they want to for political purposes,” he wrote. “If this means that some White House reporters don’t get a press pass for the press secretary’s daily briefing and that this means that they actually have to, you know, do some reporting and analysis instead of repeating press releases, then I’ll take that risk.”

Scherer seemed alarmed. “So we would have press briefings in which only media organizations that are deemed by the briefer to be acceptable are invited to attend?”

John Judis, a senior editor at the New Republic, came down on Zasloff’s side, the side of censorship. “Pre-Fox,” he wrote, “I’d say Scherer’s questions made sense as a question of principle. Now it is only tactical.

What you have just read above; is why I sided against the liberal left. Because Liberals believe in freedom of speech; as long as it matches up with their political ideologies. Conservatives, for all their faults, do embrace true freedom of speech. Liberals, I am afraid, do not. This is a perfect example of that. The very idea of the FCC pulling Fox News’s broadcast license, because of their political stance, is absolutely asinine. Not to mention it smacks of communism and yes, even Nazi fascism.

For what it is worth and as horrible as it sounds; Nazi Germany and Communist Russia BOTH did control their press and even had a Government-controlled press. This sounds like what these guys want, a controlled press that only exposes their ideals. That is a true definition of fascism; government control over every aspect of people’s lives —- including the privately owned press.

Updated: Why was this man murdered?

Why was this man killed?

Who did it and Why?

Those are questions that I would like to know….

From KnoxNews.com:

The Victim: Jim Miller - Monroe County Election Commission Chairman

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. — Investigators are tight lipped, rumors are flying and a community is in shock by the discovery Saturday of a body that is widely believed to be Monroe County Election Commission Chairman Jim Miller, stuffed in the trunk of a burning car.

Late Monday afternoon, it was announced that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation had become the lead agency of the four agencies investigating the case.

“It is Jim’s car, and Jim is missing,” said his longtime attorney and personal friend, John Cleveland, who is the city attorney for Sweetwater, Tenn. “But everybody would be pleased … to find out that we are wrong (and it is not him).”

Cleveland issued a statement Monday on behalf of Miller’s family that clearly indicates they believe he is the victim. Miller was last seen at the county’s Election Commission office around 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. He was working that day because of early voting, said County Election Administrator James R. Brown.

“He’d made a call to his wife and was going home, but he never made it home,” Brown said. “This has got people talking in the county. It’s got people wondering.

Now why would I even remotely care about this? This is why:

Miller, 60, was a lifelong Sweetwater resident and very active in community affairs and the Republican Party, say people who knew him.

[…]

Besides his Election Commission post, Miller was 1st District chairman of the county’s Republican Party. He was president of Jim Miller Excavating Co.

Could it be that this man discovered some election fraud in Tennessee or knew about some; and maybe was planning to go public with it, and the Democrats in Tennessee ordered him killed? Is it wrong to ask such questions? After all, President Obama did say, “Get in their faces!” I mean, we already know about the Republican who got shoved and punched by a union goon at a nurses union rally; who is to say that the Democratic National Committee or the Democratic Party in Tennessee did not order this man killed? Something stinks and I think some sort of new media investigation is needed.I would head down there myself; but I do not have the funds to check it out, and I really do not have any reliable transportation.

Let me say this; if this was a hit on a Republican election official, and anyone outside of the State level was involved with this, it could have horrible ramifications for the Democratic Party in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Let me also say this; I normally as a rule do not engage in this sort of speculation, but this one reeks of a plot to murder the political opposition. I just hope that I am wrong and this was an random act of violence towards an old man. However, it does warrant media investigation. However, we all know that the Liberal media will not get involved in this; because it does not fit their narrative.

Update: So far. Not one blogger has replied to my e-mail or even linked. Needless to say, I am not happy with the Conservative Blogosphere right now. 😡

Update #2: From the comments section:

This, most likely, is a family related murder not political. BtW, no identification has been made yet. This guy and his brothers have been in a 10 plus year war over a dairy farm with numerous appeals. miller v miller Appeals Court Ruling PDF I am from this area and people down here don’t get killed for politics. They get killed over probate and death gifts of estates. :twisted: This area is so republican that most people won’t even admit to being a Reagan democrat. :oops: Either way, it is sad.

Update #3: From the comments:

I wanted to update this story. In a surprising turn of events, the Sheriff Deputy who drove by and saw the car burning has been suspended with pay and declared a suspect in the arson and murder. Captain Kenny Hope of the Monroe County Sheriff Department even admitted that he was the only suspect and was questioned by the TBI (Tennessee version of the FBI.)

Captain Kenny Hope was hired in 2006, after Democrat Bill Blevins was elected as the first democratic sheriff and first democratic county-wide office holder in decades. His win was based not because of a political platform but perceived abuse and alleged illegal actions by the proceeding sheriff and disgraced Rep. General Session Judge Edwin Harris (Resigned over drug crimes) and Rep. Judge Hagler (Resigned after tapes were discovered containing sexual fantasies and who was suspected of killing a priest in Chattanooga in a weird sex case.)

Earlier in 2010 Captain Hope and the Mr. Miller was in a conflict during a traffic stop and arrest. The case is so convulsed that the DA and Judge recused themselves and the case was transferred out of County.

Sure enough, here are the links to the story here. Looks like there might just be some corruption on the local level after all.

UPDATED: Black Racism in the Obama Administration: Exhibit A – Shirley Sherrod Sherrod resigns – Update: Video didn’t tell full story.

This is a unbelievable Video:

Andrew Breitbart, as always, has the scoop on this terrible video:

In fact, it’s worse. The media that provided the left a platform to accuse the Tea Party, all the while refusing to air any exculpatory evidence. Again, the mainstream media inserts itself as the number one weapon in the progressive weapons stash. Political correctness, as the Duke Lacrosse case exemplified, trumps all in PC America and her afflicted media.

But the new media will not be silenced. It will not allow for the main stream media to propagate hateful and hurtful lies in order to save the Democratic Party from the toxic choices it has made over the past few years. And by bringing up race, and demanding a zero tolerance of racism, the left, and the NAACP in particular, has opened itself up for scrutiny.

We are in possession of a video from in which Shirley Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaks at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia. In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.

In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.

Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.

via » Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism–2010 – Big Government.

Unbelievable…… This woman uses the fact that white people mistreated blacks many, many, many years ago, as an excuse to discriminate against a white man in the twenty-first century. As I told you all before, Black Racism is not a myth, it does exist and it is justified by the liberal media in America. Now, some of you might say, “Well, this has existed for many years.” Sure, it has; but it was mainly confined to the local level, like say in Detroit and many metropolitan cities. This is on the national level and it should not be tolerated at all.  Shirley Sherrod should be terminated from her job immediately. She has demonstrated in this video, that she is totally incapable of being fair and just in her ability to help ALL people; and not just those of color.

This, I am afraid, is what people like Senator Barry Goldwater feared, when he refused to sign the Civil Rights act of 1964. Not only that, but you also notice too, that no Liberals have spoken out against this? That is because the Democratic Party; which is basically now controlled by the Obama Administration supports and now sanctions this sort of activity.

Remember this sort of nonsense come the 2010 and 2012 elections and vote accordingly. Racism is wrong; no matter if it is White against Black or Black against White — It is still wrong and should not be allowed, much less tolerated in a public office or from a public official.

Update: Looks like there is more to this story!

Washington Post finally discovers that Government is too big

You mean they are just now figuring this out?:

The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

These are some of the findings of a two-year investigation by The Washington Post that discovered what amounts to an alternative geography of the United States, a Top Secret America hidden from public view and lacking in thorough oversight. After nine years of unprecedented spending and growth, the result is that the system put in place to keep the United States safe is so massive that its effectiveness is impossible to determine.

The investigation’s other findings include:

* Some 1,271 government organizations and 1,931 private companies work on programs related to counterterrorism, homeland security and intelligence in about 10,000 locations across the United States.

* An estimated 854,000 people, nearly 1.5 times as many people as live in Washington, D.C., hold top-secret security clearances.

* In Washington and the surrounding area, 33 building complexes for top-secret intelligence work are under construction or have been built since September 2001. Together they occupy the equivalent of almost three Pentagons or 22 U.S. Capitol buildings – about 17 million square feet of space.

* Many security and intelligence agencies do the same work, creating redundancy and waste. For example, 51 federal organizations and military commands, operating in 15 U.S. cities, track the flow of money to and from terrorist networks.

* Analysts who make sense of documents and conversations obtained by foreign and domestic spying share their judgment by publishing 50,000 intelligence reports each year – a volume so large that many are routinely ignored.

These are not academic issues; lack of focus, not lack of resources, was at the heart of the Fort Hood shooting that left 13 dead, as well as the Christmas Day bomb attempt thwarted not by the thousands of analysts employed to find lone terrorists but by an alert airline passenger who saw smoke coming from his seatmate.

They are also issues that greatly concern some of the people in charge of the nation’s security.

“There has been so much growth since 9/11 that getting your arms around that – not just for the DNI [Director of National Intelligence], but for any individual, for the director of the CIA, for the secretary of defense – is a challenge,” Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said in an interview with The Post last week.

What gets me is this; these guys are just now bringing this story out. How come they did not do it sooner? You want to know why? It is because WaPo is suffering; their publication numbers are down, because they have been being the Democratic Party’s publication arm and now they are suffering. So, they figure they would take on big Government. Nice. But is not ironic that the same people that basically did the “Hosanna” song for President Barack Obama, a big Government Advocate; and now they are suddenly worried about the aspect of a “big, scary, secret Government?” The irony is not lost on this Blogger.

Good: Jihad enabling lawyer gets 10 years

For once, it seems that the justice system is doing it’s job; for a change.

Lynne Stewart - Terrorist Enabling Swine

NEW YORK — A 70-year-old civil rights lawyer was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison in a terrorism case by a judge who boosted her original sentence by nearly eight years after concluding she lied to a jury and lacked remorse.

“I’m somewhat stunned,” Lynne Stewart told U.S. District Judge John G. Koeltl after he announced the sentence for her conviction for letting a jailed Egyptian sheik communicate with his radical followers despite restrictions in place to prevent it.

The sentence, nearly four times longer than the two-year, four-month sentence she originally received in 2006, left Stewart sobbing in her prison uniform after Koeltl described his reasons for increasing the prison time significantly.

An appeals court had ordered a new sentencing, saying the terrorism component of the case needed to be considered, along with whether she committed perjury at her trial. The court said it had “serious doubts” whether her original sentence was reasonable.

The judge said public comments Stewart made after her first sentencing showed him that the “original sentence was not sufficient.”

He said she showed “a lack of remorse for conduct that was both illegal and potentially lethal.”

via The Associated Press: NY lawyer gets 10-year term in terrorism case.

The bottom line is this; this woman decided to side with those intent on committing terrorism in the name of Islam. She allowed her personal politics to interfere with her job; and for that she is going to prison. This is a good thing and it is my hope that she does her entire sentence. Terrorism is an evil thing and those who aid it should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

The most sane thing I have read about the DOJ Black Panther Case yet

It comes from none other than Rick Moran over at Right Wing NutHouse:

I don’t for a minute believe Holder and Obama are racists. I believe they are politically correct jackasses who sought to bestow a political gift on a favored constituency. For those – including Boehlert – who believe that this issue was small potatoes, perhaps they might explain the furious activity surrounding it from both the White House and the Department of Justice. This timeline of White House involvement and NAACP lobbying on behalf of the Panthers pretty much destroys the idea that there was a legitimate reason to drop the civil suit. It was politics, pure and simple. And having spent the 2008 campaign rightly railing against the politicization of the Bush justice department, Obama and Holder could hardly be expected to admit to doing the same.

This doesn’t excuse Limbaugh or Beck from making their jaw dropping claims about Obama sticking it to white people or that the president is trying to foment a race war. But are those comments ignorant, stupid, irrational, and paranoid? Or are they racist?

You simply can’t automatically identify political speech you disagree with as racist like Boehlert does in his ridiculously exaggerated screed. Of course it’s bonkers to believe that Obama wants a race war, or that he’s out for payback against whites for slavery. But why is that necessarily a racist comment? What makes it racist, specifically? If it were racist based on the fact that it’s nutty and dead wrong, that encompasses a lot of territory. And ascribing racist attitudes based solely on the fact that the president is black just doesn’t cut it unless you want to drastically demean and lower the bar for what constitutes racism in political speech. Using that formula, all opposition speech against the president should be dismissed as racist – an outcome no doubt devoutly wished for by Obama partisans but nonsense on its face.

Go read the rest… It is very good.

Video: Zo on Examining Black Loyalty to Democrats

I know, I said that I was not going to carry this guy’s video anymore. But I think he more than made up for that little silly remark with this video…

Updated: Honestly, What do they expect?

It seems that Communist owned and controlled Blog, Think Progress is full of crap, as usual…  posted a video showing some of the more undesirable elements of the Tea Party Movement Update: Turns out, most of the stuff in this video is straight up bogus… But my point below still stands:

Quite honestly, I must ask, what in the hell do these people expect? When a black President, of whom country of birth is questionable at best; is elected and proceeds to push all sorts of idiotic legislation unto an American people, who quite frankly, do not want it. What do these idiotic fools expect?  I mean, you can only push people, especially white people, like myself so far; and then they are going to react. Then you have the NAACP coming out and calling them all racists, because they disagree with the President’s policies? I mean, what do they expect?

I mean, if anything, the Progressives in this Country had better be happy that the majority of the White Conservatives in this Country still have faith in the ballot box. Because the alternative to that, is not something that I want to even remotely expound upon — much less think about. Because quite frankly, Americans; not just white Americans, are angry and when Americans get angry, things happen. I just hope that the happening, happens at the ballot box come November of 2010 and hopefully 2012 as well; and nowhere else.

Further more, considering all of the ugliness of the 2000 elections and during the 2004 elections; not to mention during the height of the Iraq War. I find it absolutely laughable that the progressives are now acting as the moral guide in this Country. Not to mention the calling of anyone who opposes the President and happens to be black, being called an “Uncle Tom” and “Not black enough” and so on. It is truly revolting to watch the left’s hypocrisy when it comes to this issue. I mean, look at Senator Robert Byrd, he lead the biggest filibuster of the civil rights act! But yet, the progressives and the Democrats want to be the ones to lecture the American people on race and civil rights. It is truly funny.

The Bottom Line is this: While the stuff in the video above is horrible. It is not what the Tea Party, as a whole stands for. Anyone that say that; is of a collectivist mindset and is most likely a liberal. Further more, how the Democratic Party and the Progressive movement, considering their history; cannot be the one to be a moral guide in this Country, when it comes to race and other issues at all.

Update: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm… Looks like Confederate Yankee has, once again, caught Liberals being dishonest….. SHOCKA! 😉 Thank GOD for Scheduled posts! 😀

Update #2: Think Progress getting caught now tries to private the video… Heh… good luck, you’re already busted.

Update #3: Right Klick flushes out more of the B.S. that Think Progress is known for — LIES.

Liberal Idiot Talker Bill Press: Obama’s poll numbers are falling because of “Spoiled Americans”

Un-Farking-Believable!

This comes via The Radio Equalizer:

My friend and excellent blogger Mitch Berg over at Shot in the Dark, lays the smack down on Bill Press:

Bill Press:  Get a grip.

You think Ronald Reagan got carried to success on the shoulders of the entire American people right after his election; the media certainly sniped at him nonstep (then as now).

And yet he succeeded (not that you can tell that to people like Bill Press).

Competence helps.

Amen and Amen. The only person to blame for Obama’s piss poor poll numbers is his own damned self. I mean, the man outright LIED about Abortion not being in the Healthcare bill! What the hell does President Bambi Teleprompter expect? This is just a classic case of denial and spin by the left to deflect blame away from the fact that Barack Obama’s popularity is just not what it was, when he was elected. Plain and simple. The man did not deliver on anything, The Economy and Jobs, his handling of domestic terror threats, his handling of the oil spill; everything. The man just is not a leader, he is an intellectual and people want leadership; plain and simple.

Update: Once again, Ed Morrissey is spot on:

We’re spoiled? If Bill Press’ argument holds water, then who spoiled us? If the answer is George W. Bush, then perhaps that means that liberals will shortly revise their estimations of his presidency as the last Golden Age … right?

[…]

It comes as no shock to hear a liberal talk about the American public as “children” who need scolding. (It also doesn’t come as a shock to see that Bill Press doesn’t check the data on jobs before declaring that Obama has rescued them.) That’s the entire mindset of liberalism — that the masses can’t make their own decisions and need a cadre of elites to do it for them.

[…]

Expect to see more of the “ungovernable” argument as Obama continues to flop. We’ll hear it as an excuse for ever-increasing executive authority; we’ve already seen public paeans to authoritarian regimes by liberals like Thomas Friedman and Woody Allen, and we’ll likely see a lot more if the Republicans take control of the House in the fall.

I have to admit; I have not always agreed with Ed in the past, but he is spot farking on right here. That is the real sad part. Liberalism; back in the days of classic liberalism, was all about personal freedom and choice, before the big Government socialists took the liberal movement over. Now, it is all about nanny-state’ism and big Government; and when the American people reject that or reject the policies and performance of those big Government types, the elitists among the nanny state crowd accuse the common man of being spoiled and ungovernable. This is what always kills the Democratic Party’s chances of being reelected. They overreach and when they fail in that overreach; The Liberal Democrats will scowl and deride those who criticize them or reject their style of Government. This is one of the flaws of Big Government and socialism; it is made up of an elite class of overlords, that look down upon the common man and try to think for them; when those people reject their thinking, they scorn them. It has been that way for years and that is why Republicans always come to rescue and allow people to think for themselves.

Surprise: Obama Administration Approves First Tax-Payer Funded Abortions

Remember when President Obama said this?:

Just another liberal lie…. How do I know this?

Because Lifenews.com, reports:

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — The Obama administration has officially approved the first instance of taxpayer funded abortions under the new national government-run health care program. This is the kind of abortion funding the pro-life movement warned about when Congress considered the bill.

The Obama Administration will give Pennsylvania $160 million to set up a new “high-risk” insurance program under a provision of the federal health care legislation enacted in March.

It has quietly approved a plan submitted by an appointee of pro-abortion Governor Edward Rendell under which the new program will cover any abortion that is legal in Pennsylvania.

The high-risk pool program is one of the new programs created by the sweeping health care legislation, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, President Obama signed into law on March 23. The law authorizes $5 billion in federal funds for the program, which will cover as many as 400,000 people when it is implemented nationwide.

But of course, Liberals never tell the truth; they tell you what you want to hear. Then, when they think no one is paying attention; they do things like this.

I wonder if Stupac is proud of himself now?

Obama’s Poll Numbers Continue to drop

This is not too surprising considering his handling of the economy and the Oil Spill, and so on…:

Washington Post Reports:

Public confidence in President Obama has hit a new low, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. Four months before midterm elections that will define the second half of his term, nearly six in 10 voters say they lack faith in the president to make the right decisions for the country, and a clear majority once again disapproves of how he is dealing with the economy.

Regard for Obama is still higher than it is for members of Congress, but the gap has narrowed. About seven in 10 registered voters say they lack confidence in Democratic lawmakers and a similar proportion say so of Republican lawmakers.

Overall, more than a third of voters polled — 36 percent — say they have no confidence or only some confidence in the president, congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans. Among independents, this disillusionment is higher still. About two-thirds of all voters say they are dissatisfied with or angry about the way the federal government is working.

Such broad negative sentiments have spurred a potent anti-incumbent mood. Just 26 percent of registered voters say they are inclined to support their representative in the House this fall; 62 percent are inclined to look for someone new.

The reason for this is because of the Democrats blatant tone deafness regarding the economy and jobs. Instead they pursued and passed a health care bill, that NOBODY wanted. Meanwhile, people like me, sit without a job. Of course, because I am not a vet or a minority. I will sit at the back of the jobs lines for a long time to come.

Malik Shabazz proves to everyone that Black Nationalists and Supremacists are dangerous

This comes via HotAir.com’s resident Candy-Assed, Nancy Boy who’s back from his weeks vacation. 😉

A few words about this guy before I embed the video. I consider these idiots to be just as dangerous, if not worse; than say White Nationalists and White Supremacists. That is because their modus operandi is not, contrary to what they might tell you; any sort of racial purity or advancement for the black race. Their modus operandi is just straight up hate and violence towards white people. Because in their minds, the violence is justified against white people, because of the fact that white people did, in fact, bring black criminals from Africa to be slaves in America. To these people, that justifies any killings or other sort of violence committed by them.

Put another way, if reactionary politics is coffee; these guys are the grounds themselves.

Another thing I will say; Geraldo deserves at least a little credit for not going nuclear on this idiot and chasing him out his studio. I watched this clip at about 5:30 or so this morning; and I will tell you, I was close to throwing stuff at the T.V. quite a few times. I think Geraldo also deserves credit for pointing out the fact that these guys are nothing more than holdovers from the angry 1960’s and that America has quite evolved from that era and for pointing out the fact that their brand of hate is a ticket to nowhere.

Exit Question: What is the different between what First Lady Michelle Obama said and what Malik Shabazz said?

First Lady Michelle Obama: America Still Unequal

This comes BreitBart.TV with a H/T to Riehl World View:

Yeah, she is going to keep fighting alright; fighting for the handouts to the lazy ass idiots who would rather get a handout, instead of getting a job and being a productive part of society. Her and her socialist twit hubby, would rather give handouts to their people; than get America back to work.

Also, she makes reference to “Her people”, yeah, the people who were brought to America as damned criminals. Criminals who were freed by a Republican named Abraham Lincoln — against the wishes of the people of the South. A freeing that also destroyed the economy of the South. A people who in 1964, by an unconstitutional act of Congress, were integrated in the south; again, against the will and wishes of the southern people.

…But yet, they are still not free. 🙄

Someone needs to tell Mrs. Bambi Bitch Teleprompter to get over it and that the slaves were freed and her people are free to roam the south as they wish.

Surprise: Voter Fraud involving felons in Al Franken election in MN

Considering this little accusation here; should this be any sort of a shock to anyone?:

The six-month election recount that turned former “Saturday Night Live” comedian Al Franken into a U.S. senator may have been decided by convicted felons who voted illegally in Minnesota’s Twin Cities.

That’s the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group, which found that at least 341 convicted felons in largely Democratic Minneapolis-St. Paul voted illegally in the 2008 Senate race between Franken, a Democrat, and his Republican opponent, then-incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.

The final recount vote in the race, determined six months after Election Day, showed Franken beat Coleman by 312 votes — fewer votes than the number of felons whose illegal ballots were counted, according to Minnesota Majority’s newly released study, which matched publicly available conviction lists with voting records.

Furthermore, the report charges that efforts to get state and federal authorities to act on its findings have been “stonewalled.”

Democrats: Bringing you socialism, one way….or another. 🙄

Updated: Movie: We will not be silenced

This movie made by Gigi Gaston documents the voter fraud that took place during the election primaries in 2008.

The accusations in this video, if proven, could prove to be deadly for the Obama Administration. It is my personal hope, that if the Republicans take back both houses of Congress in 2010; that a full investigation is started by the Senate. Now, I highly doubt that this would happen; but I can hope.

What you are about to watch will most likely shock you.

We will not be silenced 2008’s official website.

Update: Ed Morrissey, as always, brings some perspective:

The allegations appear to be entirely confined to caucus states, which is one of the reasons I’m skeptical. Caucuses are bare-knuckled brawls where the parties make the rules and the campaigns routinely and viciously fight over them. I have no trouble believing that Team Obama played hardball and cut as many corners as they could without getting caught. What I have trouble believing is that Hillary Clinton wasn’t doing the exact same thing in these states. After all, Hillary was hardly a babe in the woods. The Clinton Machine had been fighting these battles since Obama was in high school. Now we’re suddenly to believe that they were manning the Good Ship Lollipop in 2008 and were shocked, shocked to find that caucuses aren’t played by Marquess de Queensbury rules?

This is one of the reasons that I believe primaries are usually a better way to select nominees, especially for higher offices. They’re not impervious to fraud and abuse, but it’s a more level ground, and the stakes for committing malfeasance are at least somewhat higher than in caucuses.

Liberal Racist Quote of the Day

Eventually, there were enough Indians in Edison to change the culture. At which point my townsfolk started calling the new Edisonians “dot heads.” One kid I knew in high school drove down an Indian-dense street yelling for its residents to “go home to India.” In retrospect, I question just how good our schools were if “dot heads” was the best racist insult we could come up with for a group of people whose gods have multiple arms and an elephant nose.

Humor You say?

Um, Please, cue the music:

Surprise: Unions Violating Disclosure Rules

(H/T Wizbang)

Warner Todd Huston over at Right Wing News takes a long hard look at the corruption in the unions and politics:

Of course unions have no fear of the federal government. No one there cares if unions act criminally or not. After all, these pols are getting millions in donations from these same unions that are lying on their disclosure forms. Apparently getting campaign contributions is far more important than holding these unions to the law.

But we need to remember one other thing that often gets lost in the mix when we are talking law breaking unions. The reason they have to disclose these lobbying activities in the first place is because government has gotten too big. If government was not involving itself in every aspect of our lives, lobbying would be far less necessary for unions, business or advocacy groups.

All these billions of dollars pumped into lobbying Congress is far more a fault of Congress taking on more than it legitimately belongs taking on than it is the fault of corrupt lobbyists, unions or no.

Cut out government and lobbyists go away. Cut out lobbyists and few disclosure reports will even be necessary.

But all that aside, we see how the federal government turns a blind eye to the corruption, lies and criminal neglect of disclosure rules perpetrated by their bag men in Big Labor. Even George W. Bush’s administration failed to hold unions to account and the Bushies were harder on Big Labor than any president in decades.

Some words of wisdom from Ronald Reagan

This comes from Blogs for Victory:

….and considering this recent poll; Ronald Reagan was a very smart man…. 😀

Black Racism is not a myth

First of all, I ask that you go read Michael Malkin’s latest column on black racism. It is a most excellent article. I’ll wait.

Okay, back now? Good. Now all the players that she talked about, are here in some videos that I will be posting.

First off, here is the current leadership of the New Black Panther Party:

As you will see, the apple does not fall far from the tree:

These two cats are the original masters at black racial hatred towards Whites and Jews:

First Louis Farrakhan:

Next Khalid Muhammad (deceased):

So, as you see, the current line up of the New Black Panther Party does not fall far from the tree.

The sick and sad part is; that the Democratic Party are the enablers, the ones who coddle and promote these hate-mongering bastards.

At the risk of sounding like a racist myself; is it fair to speculate whether all blacks feel this way, as explained in the videos above, towards the white race? I am not making a statement, I am asking a question. Because quite frankly, judging from the reaction by the black members of both of these studio audiences; I am afraid that the answer would be yes. I would hope that I am wrong.

The real sick and sad part is; that our current President sat in a Church in Chicago and listened to a Pastor who believes these same very things. It is a scary thing to think about. Sorry, but I do not buy the liberal spin, that he was not there. President Obama was there and he knows it. He just chose not to follow the teachings.

I think every America ought to watch these videos before voting in November, ask yourself, do you want a Government of this sort? It is a question that every American should be asking themselves.

Sarah Palin needs help with her legal bills

I received this via e-mail:


Dear Pat,

Time is running out.

Since the first frivolous ethics charges were filed against Sarah Palin two years ago, legal bills for the Palin family have mounted into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Last year, friends of the family set up the Alaska Fund Trust to help pay legal fees. They used the words “official legal fund” so that supporters would know it was the fund trusted by the Palins.
But now — because Governor Palin used the word “official” —  an independent counsel decided that Sarah Palin “violated” the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act when she served as governor of the state.
Funds donated to the Alaska Fund Trust were immediately frozen until the legal challenge was sorted out.
Governor Palin has now agreed to send the money back to the donors. This means that not a single dollar of the trust fund went to pay the Governor’s massive legal fees.
On June 24, 2010 a new legal defense fund — The Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund — was created to pay these urgent legal bills.
We set up the new fund to cover the Palin’s legal bills for past, present, and future attacks.
The fund has been set up by friends and trusted advisors of Governor Palin.
Let’s help Governor Palin with this incredible burden that no citizen should have to bear and  free her to speak out on behalf of conservatives all across this great country.
Will you help us relieve Governor Palin of this burden?

Pat, as a supporter of Governor Palin, help us with the legal fees stemming from those frivolous charges against Governor Palin.

Yours truly,

Tim Crawford

Trustee

The Sarah Palin Legal Defense Fund

Now, I will tell you this; I was never really a huge Palin fan. But I thought the gal got a raw deal with the liberal media and from idiots that put this Lady through the mill. I am asking those who actually read this blog to help Palin out. Further more, because of hateful bastards like these twits here, I am asking that you double your support for Palin.

The main reason why I even wanted to get involved with this; is this fact right here:

They called it the Alaska Fund Trust, the “official legal fund” for Governor Palin.

In fact, they added the words “official legal fund” so that supporters would know it was not just approved by the family, but that it complied with disclosure requirements, had professional management, created limits on who could donate and how much could be donated, and a variety of other restrictions that made it a very conservative and limited trust.

Further, the word “official” was used to distinguish the Alaska Fund Trust from other legal defense funds that were starting to pop up and no one knew if these would comply with disclosure laws, lobbyist restrictions, etc.

But now – because she used the word “official” – an independent counsel decided that the Trust “violated” the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act and now requires the Trust to send back every single donation raised by the defense fund while she was governor.

The left-wing media wants you to think Gov. Palin is an “ethics violator.” But they ignore the actual findings that Gov. Palin acted in good faith and relied on a team of expert trust lawyers to set it up.

They ignore that Gov. Palin stated one overriding principle: if the trust fund could be lawfully set up, she would support it. That is hardly the action of a person bent on skirting the law, contrary to the hysterical commentaries. But they ignore the truth and prefer to propagate lies about Sarah Palin.

They DON’T want you to know:

  • The National Democratic Committee used its Alaska chapter, the Alaska Democratic Party (ADP), to create a website with one stated goal: “Keep Sarah Palin Out of Public Office.” To this day, the Democrats use this website to publicly seek donations for funding bogus “legal challenges involving issues related to Sarah Palin.”
  • The ADP’s “Keep Sarah Palin Out of Public Office” campaign used our own legal system to sponsor more than two dozen ethics complaints against Governor Palin. Out of the 27 complaints, 26 were dismissed!
  • The so-called “independent counsel” who started this investigation was an attorney from President Barack Obama’s law firm.

The money in the Alaska Fund Trust has been frozen and bills gone unpaid.

You see the part up there, that I put in bold, underlined and colored red? That, my friends, is the reason why I even bothered to post this here. This crusade against Sarah Palin is nothing more than a 21 century lynching against a Conservative Christian Woman.  Admittedly, John McCain’s campaign did do some stuff wrong; at least I feel anyway… — but the bulk of blame goes towards the Democrats, who relentlessly hounded this woman to death and still continues to do so.

Which is just one, in a litany of reasons why I will never vote for anyone representing the Democratic Party, ever again.

Now, I ask you; as a Christian, as someone who believes that the Republican Party does, in fact, embrace the Tea Party values and does want to see a strong, secure America. * I ask you to help Sarah Palin pay down these legal bills, so that she can be free to enjoy the rest of her political and personal career, as she sees fit. Please, do not allow these liberal bastards to bring someone like Palin down or allow them to win the battle. Fight back, with the best weapon possible — your pocketbook. I know times are hard; In fact, I am going through tough times myself. But, all donations, no matter how big or how small will help her out.

Thanks for reading. 🙂
