These people are so damned desperate, it is almost laughable:
Last summer, Democrats argued that the Tea Party movement was the astroturf creation of corporate groups. Now that the grass-roots conservative resurgence has emerged as a clear force on the right, the left is making a different case: That tea parties are simply the enemy.
Stay Classy Liberals! (yeah right....)
To that end, the Agenda Project, a new, progressive group with roots in New York’s fundraising scene and a goal of strengthening the progressive movement, has launched the “F.*.c.k. Tea project,” which is aimed, the group’s founder Erica Payne wrote in an e-mail this morning, “to dismiss the Tea Party and promote the progressive cause.”
“”We will be launching new products in the next several months to help people all over the country F*ck Tea,” Payne told POLITICO. “Products like a Glenn Beck Bowl Buddy (Beck B Scrubbin) and others are perfect holiday gifts or just a great way to say, ‘I love you and our country’ to your spouse, friend or family.”
Payne, a veteran consultant to progressive groups, is a co-founder of the Democracy Alliance, the low-profile group of liberal mega-donors who helped build the Center for American Progress and other new organizations that grew in the Bush years.
The new project, so far, features merchandise, polling statistics aimed to paint Tea Party members as ignorant, and a mocking video.
Update: Here is their little classless video. Complete with an cute little “F You” Song…. (NSFW!) (H/T to Wake Up America)
Ah yes, what a way to show class and diversity, than to market a t-shirt the basically slams, mocks and says “FUCK YOU!” to the good majority of America. WOW. šÆ š®Ā The chutzpah there is outstanding. What these mental midgets seem to forget is that Conservatives, “Right of Center’s” and classic liberals, like me; are in fact, Americans too — and when you say, “FUCK YOU!” to people like me, you alienate people — like me.
Having said that, it’s time to fight fire…..with fire:
Click the link and buy the shirt please.. (PLEASE?!??!?!?!?! š„ ) It will go towards supporting my blog. Before anyone asks, yes, that is as cheap as I can sell it.
Update #2: At least one liberal blogger, so far, is saying that this is a very stupid idea. Mark your calendars, because this is the first time that I am going to say this — KUDOS TO HIM FOR SAYING IT! šĀ š Also Kudos to Gawker as well.
But, hey, imagine a Conservative group had come up with āf*ck progressives.ā The Left would have howled like werewolves on crack. For conservatives, weāll simply just highlight these wankers, and move on with our lives.
Ha! Uh, Dude? š I tried leaving a comment at his blog, but they disappeared. Oh well, I tried. š
Update 5:Smitty objects on moral grounds… Um, Smitty? Give this a listen….(NSFW, of course…) :
Here is another example of why I distance myself from the Christian Far-Right in this Country.
A person by the name of Bryan Fischer over at a Blog named Focal Point at the American Family Association writes the following:
Permits should not be granted to build even one more mosque in the United States of America, let alone the monstrosity planned for Ground Zero. This is for one simple reason: each Islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the American government.
Each one is a potential jihadist recruitment and training center, and determined to implement the āGrand Jihadā of which Andy McCarthy has written.
Here is the strategy, in their own words, in the words of āAn Explanatory Memorandumā circulated by the Muslim Brotherhood in 1991 which outlines āthe General Strategic Goalā for the Islamic movement āin North America.ā
He proceeds to quote the following:
Read it and shudder:
Muslims āmust understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and āsabotagingā its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and Godās religion is made victorious over all other religions…It is a Muslimās destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes, and there is no escape from that destiny…ā (emphasis mine)
Here is where Mr. Fischer goes astray; he is quoting from The Muslim Brotherhood, A Muslim extremist group, who has been banned in other Muslim Countries. What he is doing here, is something that is common in Far-Right, Conservative Christian circles and that is the use of collectivism; assuming that ALL Muslims believe exactly the way that the Muslim Brotherhood believes. The question is, does the Muslim Brotherhood speak for all Muslims? The Muslim Brotherhood might believe that they do; but the question is, do they actually speak for the entire Muslim Community?Ā Some would say that Fischer is a bigot, I will not assume that, I do not know Mr. Fischerās heart. But, I will say that the attitude that this man is portraying here is the same attitude that was displayed towards the black race in the south during the Jim Crow era.
Fischer continues:
Because of this subversive ideology, Muslims cannot claim religious freedom protections under the First Amendment. They are currently using First Amendment freedoms to make plans to destroy the First Amendment altogether. There is no such thing as freedom of religion in Islam, and it is sheer and utter folly for Americans to delude themselves into thinking otherwise.
Ask the Hutaree Christian militia how much good it did them to plaster Bible verses all over their website while plotting attacks against government officials. They are currently pondering the limits of the First Amendment, as they should, from the inside of a jail cell. The First Amendment cannot be used as a cloak for subversive activity.
Again, Mr. Fischer is assuming that all Muslims agree with the Muslim Brotherhood, which again is a faulty reasoning.
Another point I would like to make here. It is a point that I am sure that Mr. Fischer most likely did not think about. The idea of the United States Government banning the new construction of Religious building is not a smart one. The reasoning is this; that whole idea can be a two-edged sword. The same United States Government that would tell Muslims that they could not build Mosques —- is the same Government that could suddenly decide that new Churches should not be built either. Do you see where I am going with this? The less that the United States Government gets involved with the Religious affairs of America, the better. We have that first amendment for a reason; and I, as a FundamentalistBaptist Christian, would prefer if it stayed that way!
This whole idea, that we have to treat Muslims different than any other religion is flawed on itās face. Yes, I know that Islamic terrorism is an issue. If and when the Government finds these people, we should arrest them. But it is the Muslim communityās job to insure that extremism is rooted out of itās ranks. Not the United States Governmentās.
If we being to allow the Government to exercise any sort of control over ANY aspect of ANY religion at all, we will be putting ourselves unto a slippery slope that we will never be able to reverse.
President George W. Bush Greeting the troops at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport earlier today
Allow me this space to write a few words…. I will be the first to say that I did not always agree with President George W. Bush on policy. But I will say this; I did always know, just right where he stood, on all policy matters. For all of his faults while he was in office; the man did one thing right and that was the decision to sacrifice his Presidency for the war on terror. President Bush knew the stakes and knew the he would most likely become a lame duck President. However, that did not bother him and he did what he had to do, to defend this great nation of ours.
Like him or not….President Bush was and still is a leader, he loved our Military and was willing to take the heat of criticism from the left, for the many deaths of our Military’s officers during the Iraqi war.
I may not have voted for him, but I do and will alwaysrespect him.
I have some advice for Senator Reid.Ā If he wants to find out how someone of Hispanic heritage can be a Republican, he can call Brian Sandoval in Nevada.Ā Reid should be able to recognize Sandoval, because heās currently beating Reidās son Rory like a drum in the polls for the gubernatorial race (via Karl in the Green Room).Ā Small wonder Rory has stopped using his dadās name in his campaign advertising.
At first, when I saw this clip, I resisted posting it. Because I was kind of worried that this might be another Sharrod moment. However, after thinking about it. This is exactly how Democrats think. I have heard the same statements made by blacks, about blacks who decide that the Democratic Party is just not for them and runs against their Conservative Christian values. They are called uncle tomās, house negroās and so forth. That is, what is called, āthe plantation mentality,ā and when you stray off of that plantation, you get scolded by the plantation boss. That is because the Democratic Party and Liberals in general, do not what you to think for yourself. The Democratic Party and the Liberals want to do your thinking for you. They want to be the ones to decide what is good for you and what is not. You do not have an personality; you are just a number and a contributor to our master plan!
That is the tragic thing about the Democratic Party. It claims to the party of the people; when in reality it is nothing but the party of the Government, for the Government, and BY the Government — and the people, of whoās tax dollars pay for this Government, has no say so in what they choose to do. āYou will do what you are told and you will like it!ā is the thought process behind these socialists. The sick and sad part is this; many hard working, middle class Americans, (Like my Parents) fall into the trap of believing what these bastards tell them. These poor people actually believe that the Democratic Party is on their side. When in all honesty, these people do not give two flips about the American people. They just care about their socialist agenda and the people are just an means to an end. Many socialists have admitted that in the past.
We need to remember this in the coming 2010 elections here in Michigan and in the coming 2012 elections as well and vote accordingly.
Michelle Malkin, whom I do not always agree with politically, but of whom I do respect, has a great write up on this as well. Check it out!
Kathleen: You swore on your precious Bible that you would uphold the interests of this state, and then when cash was waved in front of your face, you quit.
Palin: OH, you WANTED me to be your governor!Ā Iām honored! Thank you!
Kathleen: I wanted you to honor your responsibilities. That is what I wanted.Ā I wanted you to be part of the political process instead of becoming a celebrity so that you could (inaudible).Ā And if thatās the best you could do, then good for you. If thatās the best you could do.
Palin: Hereās the deal. Hereās the deal. (inaudible) Thatās what Iām out there fightinā for Americans to be able to have a Constitution protected so that we can have free speechā¦And ALSO thereā¦
Kathleen: In what way are you fighting for that?
Palin: Oh my goodness!
Kathleen: In what way?
Palin: To elect candidates who understand the Constitution, to protect our military interests so that we can keep on fightinā forĀ our constitution that will protect some of the freedoms that evidently are important to you too.
Kathleen: By using your celebrity status, certainly not by political status.
Palin Daughter: How is she a celebrity? Thatās my question.
Palin: Iām honored!Ā No, she thinks Iām a celebrity!
Palin Daughter: Thatās funny that you think she is.
Kathleen: Well, youāre certainly not representing the state of Alaska any longerā¦even thoughā¦
Palin Daughter: Sheās representing United States?
Kathleen: Yes, I know. You belong to America now, and that suits me just fine. Yeah.
Palin: What do you do here?
Kathleen: IāmĀ a teacher
Palin: Oh. (Eye roll and protracted grimace)
Palin Daughter: Oh.
Kathleen: I also have a few other jobs. Iām married to a commercial fisherman.Ā And so I fish.
Palin: Oh thatās cool.Ā So am I!Ā I married to-we probably have a lot in common!
Kathleen: Yeah. You know, I think that we do.
Palin: Hi! (waves to camera) Are we on video?
Kathleen: Too bad. Iām more of a still camera girl myself. (inaudible) I am, I amā¦I will tell you Iām very pleased to meet you.
Palin: Iām honored to meet you, I really am. And, no we both agree on the freedom of speech and the-
Kathleen: Yes we do.
Palin: you know ā the protection of that. So, um, no I and, you knowā¦ best of everything to you too and Yeah.
Kathleen: Thank you for coming over.
Palin: Well, okay. Itās nice to meet you anyway.
Kathleen was motivated by the fact Palin was using the very place where her family makes a living to fortify the Palin personality cult — pretending to do the very thing they worked so hard to sustain. Initially, Kathleen just wanted to waste a little of the camera crew’s time, since Palin wasted so much of her time purporting to represent Alaska’s interests.
She didn’t imagine Palin would be so easy to draw out.
Saturday morning, Billy Sullivan helped Kathleen tape the banner up on his place of business at the top of the boat ramp. Then here she came. Sarah.
She couldn’t just walk by. Only a few fishermen and tourists would have seen the banner, but Sarah had to stop and protest. I spoke with Kathleen. She said she wanted Palin to know how she felt, but never dreamed she’d get the chance to say to her face, “You’re not a leader, you’re a climber!” Early in the conversation, Sarah actually winked at Kathleen in what seemed to be a case of eyelid Tourette’s Syndrome.
At one point, a Palin daughter chanted, “You’re just jealous”. Kathleen told Sarah she was disappointed that she dropped her responsibility to the state to became a celebrity. Palin said incredulously, “I’m honored. No, she thinks I’m a celebrity!” Really? So the camera crew wasn’t an indicator? How many times do you have to be on magazine covers to gain celebrity status? Something about camping with Kate Plus Eight in rain slickers seems, well, a little celebrity.
Billy Sullivan caught much of the interchange on his cell phone camera. The back of her security guard’s head and Todd Palin attempted to block Billy’s view, continually rotating like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. What were they afraid of? I guess that’s what happens when you’re filming a “celebrity”. He was even told by one of the Palin daughters, “You’re an A-hole”. Charming family values.
I asked both Billy and Kathleen which Palin daughter said what. Neither knew. They don’t have televisions and aren’t interested in Palin’s personal life and dramas.
In what has become typical tragic irony, Sarah initially claimed to support Kathleen’s First Amendment Rights. But as soon as Billy Sullivan walked toward the dock, one of Palin’s entourage tore down the sign to great applause from her group.
Todd Palin approached Billy (who owns a business called Dockside Fish and buys halibut on that dock) and asked him to get out of the Discovery crew’s shot. “You just can’t get enough of her, can you?” he asked. An Alaska State Trooper told Billy he should call the Homer Police Department and report the trespassing and destruction of property.
What the Palin folks don’t seem to understand is simple; if Fred Phelps gets to hold his hateful signs up at military funerals, Billy should be able to put Kathleen’s “WORST GOVERNOR EVER” banner on his building and not have a Palin goon tear it down.
The First Amendment only matters when you say or write something someone else doesn’t like.
For someone who doesn’t hold elected office and denies being a celebrity, Sarah Palin may want to get a “Constitutional Handler”.
You know see why I did not vote for John McCain and Sarah Palin; I could not in good conscience, vote for someone like that, ever.
The LSM has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I ā wait for it ā āappear to roll my eyesā when the lady tells me sheās a teacher. Yes, itās come to this: the media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines. (Maybe thatās why Botox is all the rage ā if you canāt move your eyebrows, your āeye rollingā canāt be misinterpreted!) If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers, my father was a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister works in Special Needs classrooms, my aunt is a school nurse, my mom worked as a school secretary for much of her professional life, we all volunteer in classrooms, etc., etc., etc. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would āroll my eyesā at someone telling me that they too work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM.
…and as usual, the stupid bitch does not get why the liberals are on her ass. The reason is; because of this right here:
Freedom of Speech, not in Sarah Palin's World, only when it is friendly speech. Hey Sarah, what about that Constitution you claim to want to defend? Stupid Bitch......
Nuff Said…
Update #2: I know someone is going to mention this; so I will get it out of the way. I realize you might be reading this and noticing the Palin ads. I can do something to remove them. But, I would cut into my revenue. So, I won’t block Newsmax. You can click and vote no, and I will get paid still. š š
On the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, I watched as terrorists slammed United Flight 175 into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, 18 minutes after their accomplices on another hijacked plane hit the North Tower. My mother was on the flight. I witnessed her murder on live television. I still cannot fully comprehend those images. In that moment, I died as well. I carry a hole in my heart that will never be filled.
From the first memorial ceremonies I attended at Ground Zero, I have always been moved by the site; it means something to be close to where my mother may be buried, it brings some peace. That is why the prospect of a mosque near Ground Zero — or a church or a synagogue or any religious or nationalistic monument or symbol — troubles me.
Anyone, with any sort of common sense would agree with this; but it is quite obvious that this common sense in not found in liberal circles. This is evidenced by this idiotic tripe, written by some moronic asshole on the liberal left. Which tends to make me believe that liberals are supportive, evenĀ sympathetic to the cause of those who flew those planes into the trade center, and the pentagon. Hell, after all, did not some of the liberal left accuse George W. Bush of ordering the attacks; and basically say that the United States deserved the attacks because of “Bush-Hitler” and his capitalistic society?
Leave it to the liberal left, to collectively piss on the graves of those who died on 9/11. It is what they are about good for. That and disrespecting those who’ve died in wars.
Conservative Bloggers and Conservatives on general, have been condemned by the liberal bloggers for referring to the liberals in this Country, as Anti-American. Well, as a former “Left of Center”, who woke up and smelled the coffee about the Democratic Party and those within it; let me say this —- Yes, they are Anti-American. Anyone who would support a Muslim Mosque within 25 or more miles of where those on 9/11 died, is nothing more than traitor to America. Plain and simple; you cannot claim to support America, its ideals and its freedoms; and then at the same damned time hand a token of victory to the Muslims; by allowing them to build this sort of a building. It just is not possible.
“And we’re suppose to not think nothing of letting a Mosque to be built near ground zero. These people are really quite arrogant and cruel to us…and they have the gall to say we’re arrogant. The people who suffered because of 9/11 deserve to thought of better than this”
…Let me go on the record as saying….
That I totally and wholeheartedly agree. This is not about religious freedom, nor is it about hating Muslims or Islam. It is about protecting the memories of those who died on September 11, 2001; all 2,976 victims.
The Senate has confirmed Elena Kagan, President Barack Obamaās solicitor general, as the newest Supreme Court justice.
Kagan, the former dean of Harvard Law School, replaces retiring Justice John Paul Stevens and becomes the fourth woman to serve on the court in its 121-year history. The vote confirming Kagan, who also served in the Clinton administration, was largely along party lines, with just a handful of Republicans voting with Democrats to confirm her ā and one Democrat, Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), voting no. She is expected to join the court when it reconvenes after its summer recess
I figured that this would end up happening. This is just proof that elections matter. When you vote for a personality, without checking into his background thoroughly; this is what you get.
It’s hardly unusual to hear small-business owners gripe about licensing requirements or complain that heavy-handed regulations are driving them into the red.
So when Multnomah County shut down an enterprise last week for operating without a license, you might just sigh and say, there they go again.
Except this entrepreneur was a 7-year-old named Julie Murphy. Her business was a lemonade stand at the Last Thursday monthly art fair in Northeast Portland. The government regulation she violated? Failing to get a $120 temporary restaurant license.
Turns out that kids’ lemonade stands — those constants of summertime — are supposed to get a permit in Oregon, particularly at big events that happen to be patrolled regularly by county health inspectors.
“I understand the reason behind what they’re doing and it’s a neighborhood event, and they’re trying to generate revenue,” said Jon Kawaguchi, environmental health supervisor for the Multnomah County Health Department. “But we still need to put the public’s health first.“
I got a better idea, how about when they make a new pitcher; they give the first damned glass to Jon Kawaguchi and if he drops dead, which would be such a good thing, — they make a new pitcher. But, if not, they sell the damn Lemonade. This nothing more than big Government socialism taxing someone who actually wants to have a small business of their own. All dressed up in the disguise of “We have to look out for the people!”
Another example if why I will never, ever, vote liberal or democratic party, ever again.
Born and raised in Michigan, Mike Bouchard has been committed to improving our state. Growing up in Oakland County, he attended Birmingham Brother Rice high school. He and Pam, his wife of twenty years, are teaching the same Michigan values they learned growing up to their three kids. From police officer to small business owner to elected office, Mike has taken on many different roles in his efforts to preserve and protect our way of life.
Mike brings all his experience, knowledge and leadership to the race for Governor. He understands itās a critical time for the state, as many families face uncertain times as our economy continues to struggle. As governor, heāll be prepared on day one to start making the tough choices that will turn our state around. He knows it took a long time to get here, so there are no easy fixes or simple solutions. But we need to take the first steps in order to get us back on the road to prosperity.
Mike believes if we fix Lansing, weāll get Michigan back to work.
Heāll be able to bring his knowledge from serving as a leader in the state Senate to develop lasting solutions. He was in the Senate when our leaders worked together to deliver balanced budgets and tax cuts every year he was there. As Assistant Senate Majority Leader, he worked closely with leaders like Governor Engler and then Senate Majority Leader Posthumus. Mike placed a priority on helping families. He pushed for the Michigan Sex Offender Registry requiring sex offenders to register with local law enforcement agencies and making that information publicly available for concerned parents and neighbors. He also chaired the education committee where he worked to empower parents and students to make more decisions about their future.
Go read the rest of that. Mike’s a proven leader, that knows how to get things done. Just we need for Michigan and for jobs to be returned to this area. I supported Mike Bouchard since day one and I do truly hope that he does win this primary.
Once, the iconic figures on the political right were urbane visionaries and builders of institutions ā like William F. Buckley Jr., Irving Kristol and Father Richard John Neuhaus, all dead now. Today, far more representative is potty-mouthed Internet entrepreneur Andrew Breitbart, whose news and opinion website, Breitbart.com, is read by millions. In his most recent triumph, Breitbart got a U.S. Department of Agriculture official pushed out of her job after he released a deceptively edited video clip of her supposedly endorsing racism against white people.
What has become of conservatism? We have reached a point at which nothing could be more important than to stop and recall what brought us here, to the right, in the first place.
Buckley’s National Review, where I was the literary editor through the 1990s, remains as vital and interesting as ever. But more characteristic of conservative leadership are figures on TV, radio and the Internet who make their money by stirring fears and resentments. With its descent to baiting blacks, Mexicans and Muslims, its accommodation of conspiracy theories and an increasing nastiness and vulgarity, the conservative movement has undergone a shift toward demagoguery and hucksterism. Once the talk was of “neocons” versus “paleocons.” Now we observe the rule of the crazy-cons.
I highly suggest that you go read the rest of that. I know that this might get me pegged as some sort of a faux right winger or whatever. I have but one thing to say about that —- ask me if I honestly give two flips. The answer would be no.
A poorly educated ex-sportwriter who served half of one term of an minor state governorship is prominently featured as a — if not the — leading prospect for the GOP’s 2012 Presidential nomination.
Tom Tancredo calling President Obama āthe greatest threat to the United States today” and arguing that he be impeached. Bad public policy is not a high crime nor a misdemeanor, and the casual assertion that pursuing liberal policies–however misguided–is an impeachable offense is just nuts.
Similar nonsense from former Ford-Reagan treasury department officials Ernest Christian and Gary Robbins, who IBD column was, as Doug Marconis observed, “a wildly exaggerated attack on President Obamaās record in office.” Actually, it’s more foaming at the mouth.
As Doug also observed, “The GOP controlled Congress from 1994 to 2006: Combine neocon warfare spending with entitlements, farm subsidies, education, water projects and you end up with a GOP welfare/warfare state driving the federal spending machine.” Indeed, “when the GOP took control of Congress in 1994, and the White House in 2000, the desire to use the levers of power to create ācompassionate conservatismā won our over any semblance of fiscal conservatism. Instead of tax cuts and spending cuts, we got tax cuts along with a trillion dollar entitlement program, a massive expansion of the Federal Governmentās role in education, and two wars. Thatās not fiscal conservatism it is, as others have said, fiscal insanity.” Yet, today’s GOP still has not articulated a message of real fiscal conservatism.
Thanks to the Tea Party, the Nevada GOP has probably pissed away a historic chance to out=st Harry Reid. See also Charlie Crist in Florida, Rand Paul in Kentucky, and so on. Whatever happened to not letting perfection be the enemy of the good?
The anti-science and anti-intellectualism that pervade the movement.
Trying to pretend Afghanistan is Obama’s war.
Birthers.
Nativists.
The substitution of mouth-foaming, spittle-blasting, rabble-rousing talk radio for reasoned debate. Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, Hugh Hewitt, and even Rush Limbaugh are not exactly putting on Firing Line. Whatever happened to smart, well-read, articulate leaders like Buckley, Neuhaus, Kirk, Jack Kent, Goldwater, and, yes, even Ronald Reagan?
As someone who grew during the Ronald Reagan era and respects THAT kind of Conservatism and NOT this idiotic crap that being passed off as Conservatism today; I heartily agree with all of the above. The only thing that Mr. BainBridge missed, is the racism and bigotry towards the Arabs, that has been prevalent in the Right Wing Blogosphere as of late.
ā¦I guess we will have to win without him, wonāt we?
Which is exactly my point; pandering to racial fears of black people and Arabs just does not win elections at all. This is especially true among independents — like me.Ā I mean, I grew up in southwest Detroit (proper, not the “Whitey Tighty Suburbs….) and I find this narrative of “Them dirty socialist niggers and crazy rag heads are going to kill us, our wives and eat our children!! ELEVENTY!1!!” to be absolutely vomit provoking at times. I mean, I am not one to jump on the Al Sharpton bandwagon and wave the race flag and play that card. But, sometimes it is just unavoidable. I mean, when you have people calling Dearborn, Michigan “Dearbornstain“, then something is very wrong on the right and that “something wrong” is just straight up bigotry.
Do not misunderstand me; yes, I know black racismdoes exist, believe you me. I know it does, I have experienced it myself. I was “let go” or as they called it, “laid off” from a job, because of a black boss who had a grudge against white people. However, what I do not do and will never, ever do, is use that fact as an excuse to smear all blacks as bigoted against whites. Nor will I accuse ALL Arabs of being terrorists, which is what many blogs on the right are now doing. Because that is a liberal line of thought called collectivism; and it is a flawed mindset.
The real sick and sadistic part of this whole mess is this.Ā A little while back, the controversial Louis Farrakhan said that Jews have caused damage to blacks for years. Ā At the time, I thought that to be an outrageous statement, not to mention Anti-Semitic; now it seems that the people like Andrew Breitbart and many others on the right are trying their damnedest to prove Farrakhan right.Ā I think we as a whole, on the right, need to work on that little image very quick.Ā Because frankly at this point, we are giving people like Farrakhan and the many people on the left, that think like him; black, White, Latino, and whatever else, the talking point they need to further that āgospelā of hatred.
I feel that way then and I still do. Andrew Breitbart is Jewish, Pamela Geller is Jewish, Debbie Schlussel is too Jewish; what do these three have in common? They all are in the business of smearing Arabs, and I do mean ALL Arabs as Terrorists and are constantly writing stories on their blogs, which are filled to the brim with nuanced bigotry towards blacks and Arabs.
Until we fix that little problem; Conservatives will be where they are now —- on the sidelines.
Here is another reason why I basically decided to part ways with the Neo-Conservative, Far-Right in the Blogosphere — Which included me leaving the Conservative Hive on BlogAds.
It seems that some writer over at John Hawkings’s Right Wing News Blog, which is a strict Neo-Conservative Blog, has posted a entry rife full of lies and outright racism towards Arabs in Detroit.
First, the racism:
Just as no good deed goes unpunished, no act of evil remains unrewarded for long ā much less a whole career of evil that reached its crescendo with a denunciation of Jews so tasteless that not even the liberal establishment media could stomach it. This is why the Muslim colonists populating Dearbornistan are erecting a statue of Helen Thomas.
Did you get that? “Dearbornistan.” That is what your Far-Right in this Country is come to; outright racism and bigotry towards Arabs. Dearbornistan is a racist play on words for the city of Dearborn, Michigan. Which is populated by Arabs. The good majority of which are peace-loving Muslims and yes, some Christian Arabs as well. But, that is no matter to those on the far-right; they are ate up with bigotry and hatred towards the Arabs in this Country. Mainly because of 9/11. My question to them is this; do two wrongs make a right? I think not. Could you imagine if someone referred to an area of America, that was heavily populated by Jews in the same manner as this? The outrage would be absolutely deafening.
Not being satisfied with just being a racist bigot, this guy is also a liar as well, check out this little nugget of B.S.:
I’d be surprised if taxes aren’t making up most of the difference. No problem, Michigan is flush with cash these days.
Nowhere at all in this story, which is about Helen Thomas getting statue of her likeness in a Arab Museum; does it say a thing about Helen Thomas’s statue being paid for by U.S. Tax dollars, nowhere. But that does not stop these far-right, Neo-Conservative bigots from spreading lies like this. Because, you see, it is all about their bigoted little narrative, that ALL Arabs are terrorists, and that they are out to kill all Americans and so forth.
Do not misunderstand me here, I do not not, nor will I ever side with the socialist left in this Country. But I will be damned if I ever side with a bunch of far-right bigots either! This is the reason why I personally believe that the Republican Party is going to get it’s ASS handed to it in the primaries and in 2012. The American people, like me, just do not have any tolerance for bigotry and racism —– towards ANY race at all. This is why I voted libertarian in the 2008 election. One because I thought Sarah Palin was an idiot, and still do; two because of this sort of idiotic racist bigotry that exists in the Conservative circles. It is wrong, it should be flushed out and exposed for what it really is.
I mean, these guys are acting like the Jim Crow racist Democrats of the south prior to 1964. It is truly unreal.
Let me also say this; this sort of crap right here, is why I basically parted ways with the more Paleo-Conservative circles in the past. Because I just do not have any tolerance for this sort of nuanced bigotry and racism, and now here it is being found in the more main-stream, Neo-Conservative circles. If William F. Buckley was alive he would be fit to be tied for idiotic nonsense like this. Using 9/11 as a license to act like Klan members; it is truly unbelievable.
Aside from the “ZOMG! Eleventy!!!!” element to it. I didn’t think much of it. So, I went over and looked:
Home foreclosures are continuing at a brisk pace, according to an article by McClatchy News. Ā Many of the first foreclosures that began three years ago, when the housing bubble began to burst, were for subprime mortgages. Ā Now, however, a fresh batch of foreclosures is occurring because people have lost their jobs and can’t pay them. Ā I am now in that category. Ā I didn’t pay my July mortgage payment and probably will miss August as well. Ā I haven’t been answering the phone, which rings constantly from bill collectors.
Our savings kept us afloat for a year. Ā When it was gone, I borrowed the equity out of my life insurance. Ā That’s gone too. Ā We were hoping to ride out this recession, to survive until it was over.
This prompted a back and forth between me and Robert Stacy McCain:

Meh, No pityā¦
Maybe Rupert Murdok or one of his Zionist friends can bail him out.
Dammit, Pat, if you knew what a great guy Stogie is, you wouldnāt say useless crap like that. I was tempted to delete your comment, but Iāll leave it up, just to chastise your conscience when you see the testimonials to Stogieās valiant character.

Iām sure he is a great guy. But nobody bailed my ass out when I was over 18 grand in the hole back in 2004. I filed for chapter 7 and started over.
Iām just sayināā¦
Of course, McCain’s sock puppets came out in full force against me; which is of no surprise.
Here’s my video reply on the subject and my apologies in advance for the poor audio quality and picture:
I know some of you are going to groan aloud when I write this, well, too bad. Because I believe this is an important point to make.
I happened to be roaming around the White House’s official Flickr Stream and I came across this photo; and it really hit me hard. I know, that I do not much blog about Christianity and Religious stuff much, except to criticize that crowd, but I would be an abject fool, if I did not stop and opine about this photo.
Because I am not a partisan hack or a person who is loyal to a party, I feel the need to say this.
The President of the United States, Barack Obama was elected by the majority of America. The fate of our Nation’s future rests on his shoulders. I believe that Christians everywhere, in spite of their political convictions should keep this man in his prayers. We should be asking God to guide this man, protect him from any crazy people out that might want to hurt him and to ask the Lord to guide him to make the right decisions that will affect the future of America. That is what we should be doing.
This is not to say that there not a place for Political criticism; but rather a reminder that his job, is the hardest in the World and that a little help from the One above is always nice to have.
Evangelical Christian minister Tim LaHaye says that the policy initiatives put forth by the Obama administration are bringing the country “closer to the apocalypse.”
LaHaye issued the dire warning in an appearance this week on Mike Huckabee’s talk show on Fox News.
“Our present president doesn’t seem to get it,” LaHaye explained. “He doesn’t understand that some of the things he’s introducing that many of us call ‘raw socialism’ — it’s a different name, but it’s essentially government control and government domination of everything.”
The evangelical voice said of the political platform maintained by the Obama administration, “It’s going to work against our country and bringing us closer to the apocalypse.”
Huckabee went on to prod LaHaye a bit further on his assertion. “Are we now living in the end times, from your perspective?” asked the former Arkansas Governor and possible 2012 White House contender.
LaHaye’s response: “Very definitely, governor.”
Tim Lahaye does not know the hour of the coming of Christ, than anyone else. Further more, President Obama is not pushing us closer to the coming of Christ, no more than Bush, Clinton, Bush Sr., Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter. This is classic straight up fear-mongering.
This past Tuesday, Rep. Zach Wamp (R-TN), who is also a leading candidate for the GOP nomination for governor, joined a conference call with the right-wing National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). When the subject of extending unemployment benefits arose, Wamp complained that giving people unemployment insurance was ācreating a culture of dependence which we do not need.ā He then said that he wants āpeople out there scraping and clawing and looking for work and not just sitting back waiting.
Wamp […] said small business, the NFIB and he as governor āmust resistā¦ any more mandates to small business to help the unemployed ā that we have continued to extend on a federal level, I think, unemployment compensation so long that thereās disincentives for people to actually re-enter the workforce or go out and look for a job.
āAnd this is creating a culture of dependence which we do not need. We want people out there scraping and clawing and looking for work and not just sitting back waiting. And so weāve got to not allow any more mandates.ā
Oy. Talk about done deaf. Before anyone hollers at me about the source of this story here; please, save it. I am not some sort of partisan hack. I believe the stupidity is stupidity. No matter who is reporting it.
Some of the commentators over at HotAir are saying that T-Paw does not have the “it” factor or that he’s not Sarah Palin. To that I say, thank God he is not all of those things. I want someone that will actually will lead this Country; not some washed up broad, who thinks she is entitled to be President, because she is a woman. (Hello Hillary!) Not someone who’s thinks he is entitled to be President, because he is some sort of a Millionaire or on some sort of Mormon Mission. (Hello Mittens!)
So, to Governor Tim Pawlenty: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, In the Name of the United States of America; the greatest Country on Earth: Please, Run for President of the United States! I will Blog for you, I will work on your campaign. Anything! You name it. We need someone who will actually lead! Without the rock-star stupidity.
We need someone like Governor Tim Pawlenty, and we need him now. Please, Tim, Run.
Hundreds of Afghan civilians who worked as informants for the U.S. military have been put at risk by WikiLeaksā publication of more than 90,000 classified intelligence reports which name and in many cases locate the individuals, The Times newspaper reported Wednesday.
The article says, in spite of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assangeās claim that sensitive information had been removed from the leaked documents, that reporters scanning the reports for just a couple hours found hundreds of Afghan names mentioned as aiding the U.S.-led war effort.
One specific example cited by the paper is a report on an interview conducted by military officers of a potential Taliban defector. The militant is named, along with his father and the village in which they live.
āThe leaks certainly have put in real risk and danger the lives and integrity of many Afghans,ā a senior official at the Afghan foreign ministry told The Times on condition of anonymity. āThe U.S. is both morally and legally responsible for any harm that the leaks might cause to the individuals, particularly those who have been named. It will further limit the U.S./international access to the uncensored views of Afghans.ā
What will this mean for the war effort?Ā The US will probably have to move all of the people named in the documents and their families, which means they wonāt be able to continue in their current efforts.Ā After this exposure, weāll have a lot of trouble finding anyone else who wants to work with us on the ground in Afghanistan, which makes our efforts there a hell of a lot more complicated, and will probably result in more dead Americans as well as Afghans.
You know, I have said some pretty “Over the top” stuff on this blog; and I have taken a bit of crap for it. Well, you know what? Screw it. I just do not care. When it comes to our troops in Iraq and the Afghan Theater, any and all crap that I get from the left for sticking up for them, is absolutely worth every minute of it.Ā Having said all that; here is hoping the someone puts a nice bullet into the skull of this jerk off piece of crap. There’s no excuse for this sort of bullshit, this guy is just a morbid asshole, who seems to believe that he is on some sort of mission from God to stop the war. Well, if he’s that intent on stopping this war, then it is time for HIM to go see God. The quicker the damned better. We are in the Afghan theater; because a group of Religious throwbacks decided that they wanted a War with the United States. We gave them that war and now this communist piece of shit decides that the war should stop and is going out of his way harm our people. So, forget arresting him, forget hunting him down, save the justice system some money and put a bounty on his head and kill the god damned bastard.
There, I said it and if anyone wants to give me any shit; feel free. I’d like nothing more than for some liberal retard try an explain why they support terrorism to Adsense or anyone else that they want to try and get me pulled from.

Comment:
You just did the same thing. Ā You are speculating about what could be wrong with him and making wild accusations but offering no proof whatsoever. Ā Don’t be such a hypocrite
If he is stark raving mad, then what are you when you use the same tactics?
First:
Second of all:
This is my damn blog and I will write about what I please; and if you really do not like it. You do not have to read here. There is not any law that says you have to.
Third of all:
The Mental Case - Andrew Sullivan
I am calling Andrew Sullivan crazy, because that is what he is…. damned crazy.The man calls himself a so-called “Conservative” all the while trashing a woman who is a Conservative Christian. This was not just one posting, but a entire books worth of pure crap. The man is crazy, and anyone who is worth their salt in Conservatism knows it. He is not a Conservative; but rather a Liberal posing as a Conservative. Some say he is a British Conservative; But I think it’s more of a mental problem than anything else.
Also, Hypocrisy? Hypocrisy??!?!?!? How’s this for Hypocrisy? — All during the election, the media went over Sarah Palin, her kids, her family; everything… with a fine tooth comb. But no ONE person in the lame stream media would dare say a cross word about President Barack Obama’s snooty-nosed brat kids, at all. Hell, even Chelsea Clinton was giving rougher treatment by the media, than President Obama’s kids! That is what I call hypocrisy!
So, don’t come here and leave stupid comments about me being a damned hypocrite, because I will just delete them. You want to be a cheerleader for the mentally and yes, morally depraved pieces human excrement’s like Andrew Sullivan, fine. Start your own damned blog and do so. Because it is not going to happen here; period.
Substitute these Christians with Mexican protesters and replace the anti-Christian opinions from the Sheriff’s Deputy with anti-Mexican ones. Would you not see this clip run for the umpteenth time on MSNBC and CNN today? I repeat the sentiments of our Commander in Chief: “The police acted stupidly.
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy was caught on video erupting with personal comments while escorting a religious group away from a recent concert.
BCSO Deputy Jim Goff is a veteran of the department and years away from retirement.
The religious group was protesting outside a Rob Zombie concert on July 17th at the Pavilion. Deputies were called to escort them out. Goff was among them.
The religious group recorded the entire ordeal and put it on YouTube. It started with Goff asking the protestors to leave the property but the group was not taking the orders well.
āThis is private property, leave you can go or you can go to jail,ā Goff said.
āItās against my constitutional right, these people are free right here are fee to be out here? Why cant we,” said one protestor.
That’s when Goff got the crowd involved and asked what they wanted the group to do.
āYou guys, do you want them to stay or go,ā Goff said.
The protestors eventually started to leave as they continued preaching to the crowd and the deputies. Goff responded.
āThere is only one way to heaven and that’s through Jesus Christ the Lord,ā said a protestor.
āI am a non-believer, there is no God, there is no Jesus, there is no Satan,ā Goff said.
Through all the shouting, arguing and antagonizing the other deputies kept their cool. Goff, however, had one more questionable comment.
āYou must have a crush on me, man are you like a gay homosexual, you keep filming me,ā Goff said.
The attacks against Christians and on the first amendment in the United States of America continue under the Obama Administration. Further proof that we are truly in the last days. Remember that folks. Remember that also come 2010 and 2012 and vote accordingly.
But, of course:
Sheriff Manny Gonzales called the deputy’s comments very inappropriate.
āI watched the video and it’s an edited version. We’re going to make a request from our internal affairs unit to get a full, a full copy so we can make the right responses,ā Gonzales said.
The video is on at least three different websites including YouTube, where more than 7,000 viewers have already seen it.
Gonzales said he will not comment on if Goff will be reprimanded until they conduct a complete investigation.
The sheriff also said he did not know about the concert confrontation until News 13 called and asked about it.
In other words, he will be back to work today and nothing will happen. š”
Andrew Breitbart, as always, has the scoop on this terrible video:
In fact, itās 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 doesnāt 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 āone of his own kindā. She refers him to a white lawyer.
Sherrodās 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 groupsā racial tolerance.
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.Ā 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.
Now, check out this video that comes via Reason: (Mild Content Warning!)
Basically this whole thing boils down to this; you either are on the side of the Religious Right that says any form of Porno is morally wrong, or you side with the libertarians that believe that Obscenity, or in this case, Porn; is protected by the First Amendment.Ā Hence the clash between your Libertarian Conservatives and your Christian Religious Right, which are, for the most part, Republican.
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. š
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.
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.”
