NYT & Democrats Now Spinning on Iraq

Posted on

It is not every day that I agree with the Neo-Conservative Blogger. But today is an exception.

It seems that some idiotic liberal columnist, by the name of Thomas L. Friedman is now encouraging the Liberal Democrats to steal credit for the Iraq War.

Friedman Writes:

In the last year, though, the U.S. troop surge and the backlash from moderate Iraqi Sunnis against Al Qaeda and Iraqi Shiites against pro-Iranian extremists have brought a new measure of stability to Iraq. There is now, for the first time, a chance — still only a chance — that a reasonably stable democratizing government, though no doubt corrupt in places, can take root in the Iraqi political space.

That is the Iraq that Obama is inheriting. It is an Iraq where we have to begin drawing down our troops — because the occupation has gone on too long and because we have now committed to do so by treaty — but it is also an Iraq that has the potential to eventually tilt the Arab-Muslim world in a different direction.

I’m sure that Obama, whatever he said during the campaign, will play this smart. He has to avoid giving Iraqi leaders the feeling that Bush did — that he’ll wait forever for them to sort out their politics — while also not suggesting that he is leaving tomorrow, so they all start stockpiling weapons.

If he can pull this off, and help that decent Iraq take root, Obama and the Democrats could not only end the Iraq war but salvage something positive from it. Nothing would do more to enhance the Democratic Party’s national security credentials than that.

I am in agreement with Confederate Yankee in this one.  This would be the most underhanded thing that the Far Lefty idiot Liberals could ever do. Since 2003, the Far Left has done nothing more than persecute the Bush Administration over Iraq and done nothing more than bad mouth, Insult, and outright disrespect our Nation’s Military and now they want to take credit for a war, that they did not even even fight in??!?!

You must be fucking kidding me. I’m sorry, but that’s just outright fucking bullshit. I mean, this is the same damned newspaper the printed this:

ntyassholes

…..and they want to take credit for this war? Please.

That would be like the 1960’s hippies take credit for winning Vietnam. 🙄

Can you now see why I left the Democratic Party and will never, ever vote for anyone running in that Party again? That’s because that Party stopped the party of the “people”, like me, Moderates who did not buy into extremism of either stripe and sided with people of the communist, Anti-American far left. They have also abandoned their principles of “Property and Wealth are not entitlements to rule”, in favor of supporting a man, who’s greatest accomplishment was being born black.

Plain and Simple, Democrats or Liberals or as some like to be referred to as Progressives, which is such a fag sounding name; Hate America, Our Principles and our Military. It is a mental disorder of the highest order, and one I intend to fight on this Blog, for as long as I am able to write.

Dear Charlotte – You Are Bankrupt

By J.J. Jackson

Dear Charlotte,

Even though you are far too young yet to understand this letter, and you are rightfully more interested in seeing how much noise you can make by throwing all of our pots and pans on the floor, I wanted to let you know that I am sorry. I am sorry at what has happened to you. For you see, you are bankrupt.

I know that this will come as a shock to you once you are old enough to read these words considering that you have never held a job, earned a wage or incurred a single debt to your name. But it is true and I am sorry that I was not able to stop this from happening. Believe me, your mother and I tried and tried hard to not have you placed in such a situation. We have worked hard, paid our bills and lived within our means.

It is not because of us, your parents, that you are bankrupt however. Ask your mother when you are older about how every week I toiled at the computer and wrote numerous articles and blog postings about the misbegotten economic ideas of our nation. These are the ideas and practices which are the real reason why, before you can even think about needing to earn a wage to support yourself, you will be tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in debt to the federal government.

I am sad for you. I am sad for you because these are not burdens that someone who is not yet even two years old should be saddled with. It is not right that the people of this once great nation have stripped you of so much at such a young age and sold you, without permission or without you having committed any crime, into slavery and bound you to serve them and their greed.

A lot of citizens have mortgaged your future for their own present comfort and security. Knowing how it feels to have my own future mortgaged by these same greedy, and dare I say unrighteous, souls I understand that it will only get worse for you as you grow up. Your mother and I already have a heavy weight on our own shoulders in which thousands of our hard earned dollars are taken by the government at the behest of the greedy who did not care enough about their own future to save for their own retirement and believe they are entitled to such at our expense. We are burdened with the heavy cost of other greedy folks who believe that we should pay for their health care because of the virtue of our success while they have not cared one bit to better their own lots in life and acquire that which they desire. And then there are the myriad of other thieves that have compiled agencies of government to demand from us to pay the other debts that they could not pay themselves.

My dear Charlotte, I know it will only get worse for you because it has only gotten worse for us. Already in the past year the government has issued hundreds of billions of dollars in debt certificates, paper money with no substantive backing simply printed on a whim, to line the pockets of people that have made more bad choices in ten minutes than you will make in your lifetime and who believe that they are “too big to fail.” The government calls these debt certificates “money,” but they are nothing more than I.O.U.s which are being financed by foreign governments that will demand the interest we are promising them in return for taking on this debt. Yes, you, my dear, will be tasked to repay these “loans” and all the other spiraling costs of a government run amok beyond sound limits.

For now you will not have to worry much about this looming crisis. There is so much that is of greater importance to you at this moment and for the next few years. You will thrill in chasing the dogs around the living room as they try to escape your all encompassing love and simple desire for just a hug and a sloppy doggie kiss from them. You will be learning your ABC’s and your 123’s and discovering new words. You will be busy trying to mimic new actions you see your mother and I doing and continue trying to sweep the floor, dust the table and clumsily sop up spills with paper towels. You will soon be learning how to ride a bike and to roller-skate. You will undoubtedly revel in enjoying the thrills of the first snow each year and then the first blossoms of spring that will follow. You will eagerly anticipate Christmas morning for many years and what Saint Nicolas has brought for you as a reward for being a good little girl.

I do not write this letter to you in order to strip you of the childish joy you will be filled with over the coming years. I do not expect you to even understand the severity of the situation in which you have been placed even when you are able to read these words, probably asking how to pronounce certain new and unfamiliar ones that you will come across in doing so. I do however write this letter to you hoping that someday, when you are older and wiser and buried by the avalanche of public debt that is bearing down on you, you will find it in your heart to forgive me for not being able to stop the pending disaster which will doom you to a life of servitude to the slothful and the greedy. I hope that you will forgive me for not being able to stop the bad policies of our government that will invariably force you to have to work even harder to support not only yourself but also support all those that the bureaucracy has decided that you must, in addition to yourself, while pursuing the American Dream.

I know that you will be able to succeed in bettering yourself and taking care of yourself but I am sad and disappointed in myself that I have not been able to make it easier on you to live free and experience a greater sense of liberty than the generation before you. I hope and pray that you will not hold it against us, your parents. And I want you to know that I will continue to do everything in my power so that I will, hopefully, one day be able to tear up this letter and never have you read it.

Love eternally,

Your Father

Nice. – Spat Over Obama Sparks Beating in Florida

Posted on

The Video:

Back Story via WKMG:

An attack on a Jacksonville woman began as an argument over President-elect Barack Obama, according to police.

The incident took place Friday morning when a fight over politics turned into a physical battle, Jacksonville television station WJXT reported.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Lindsy Whitfield, 46, got worked up when his friend told him she didn’t like Obama.

Police said Whitfield slammed a picture frame on the floor of the woman’s apartment, and then picked up the shattered frame, threw it and hit her in the face.

The enraged man then began beating the victim with his fists before telling her he was going to kill her, according to a police report.

The victim told police that after Whitfield stopped hitting her he grabbed her stun gun and ran out of the apartment.

Despite patrol efforts, Whitfield could not be located by police. He is wanted on charges of simple battery, petit theft and making threats.

Hmmmmm… I wonder what color he was? Hope Change! or I keel you! 😛

Gotta love those Moonbats! 😀

Because a couple Latinos get killed, it’s Lou Dobbs Fault

Posted on

So, say the Liberal Moonbats, who want to deny that there is any illegal immigration problem.

Give me a break. Some Latino gets shot and killed and the first thing the damn liberal moonbats want to do is blame someone like Lou Dobbs.

What about Christian-Newsom Murders? Can I blame Liberal Blacks for that? It was a hate crime after all, even though the authorities covered it up and said it was not.

NYT story on the Latino murders is here.

Suspect Nabbed in Little Rock, Ark T.V. Anchor Beating Murder

Posted on

I got one thing to say about this right here…

Via NYT:

Aware that the man they were seeking in the killing of a television anchorwoman knew he was a suspect and fearful that he was already fleeing, the police provided the victim’s employer and its competitors their lead story on Wednesday’s 10 p.m. newscasts, giving the suspect’s name and picture at a news conference that the stations broadcast live.

Almost within seconds, the authorities say, tips began flooding in, and 90 minutes later the suspect, Curtis L. Vance, surrendered to officers who had surrounded a house in the city’s tough south-central neighborhood.

Mr. Vance, 28, was charged with capital murder in the death of the anchor, Anne Pressly, 26, a regular on the “Daybreak” program of KATV, the ABC affiliate here.

Ms. Pressly’s failure to answer a wake-up call early on the morning of Oct. 20 prompted her mother to drive to her home. Her mother found her in bed, bloodied and beaten almost beyond recognition. Ms. Pressly died of blunt-force trauma five days later, having never regained consciousness.

The police said Mr. Vance was a resident of Marianna, a small town in the Arkansas Delta, but had frequently been in the Little Rock metropolitan area, some 100 miles west. They said he had been arrested before for relatively minor infractions but had no history of violent crime.

At the news conference Wednesday night, the Little Rock police chief, Stuart Thomas, described the case against Mr. Vance as “very, very solid” but was silent as to a motive for the crime and details of the investigation, including exactly how Mr. Vance had become a suspect and how he had learned that he was under suspicion.

Nor did the police say who owned the residence where Mr. Vance was seized, a house five miles and a world distant from Ms. Pressly’s home.

The victim lived in a rented cottage-style house in the affluent Pulaski Heights neighborhood, the Country Club of Little Rock only three blocks from her front door. The poor section of the city where Mr. Vance was apprehended exudes a sense of menace, with crimes against people and property as common on its streets as they were essentially unheard of along the lanes that surround Ms. Pressly’s former address.

Even as Mr. Vance was being questioned early Thursday, detectives returned to Ms. Pressly’s home and searched its grounds by flashlight, neighbors said.

“I know this sounds stupid, but we never even lock our doors,” said Zoe Oakleaf, who lives with her husband and daughter across the street from Ms. Pressly’s house. “Well,” Ms. Oakleaf added after a moment, “we used to not lock our doors.”

This is truly a sad story all around. I got one thing to say about it. I hope like hell that the Police have a solid, water tight, Iron Clad case here. Because if they do not and this guy walk for any reason. They could be opening themselves up to a huge lawsuit and backlash.

(Thanks V-Dare, Who made, I felt, a rather idiotic comment about it, who cares if the words Black or White didn’t appear in the fucking article. Why didn’t you just call him a nigger and get it over with? Idiots! 🙄 )

A very excellent article by Erik Rush on the problems on Wall Street and our Economy.

Highly Recommended! 😀

Money Quote:

Remember affirmative action? It was that lovely social program that (again, ostensibly) promoted access to education and employment to minority groups, usually ethnic minorities, women and those considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. In practice, education and job opportunities wound up being made available to many who were either indolent or unqualified, as opposed to disenfranchised, resulting in inequity, a lowering of standards and bitterness on the part of qualified, industrious Americans who were passed over for these opportunities.

Man, he is ever right. God is he ever.

The Chicago House Kooky Negro gives a interview with Chicago Tribune.

Quotable Quote:

Though he hopes to talk with Obama again once he leaves office, he also said he won’t hold back in criticizing Obama’s administration.

“I’ve already told . . . Obama: On Nov. 5, I’m coming after you,” he said. “It’s not you the person . . . it’s the policies of this country. And as long as you are presiding over policies that grind God’s people into the earth, I’m coming after you.

“The minister, the prophet’s role and allegiance is to be faithful to God, not a particular government.”

Faithful to God my ass. The only thing that this idiot Negro is faithful to, is his damned ego, which happens to be a the size of Texas. Further more, the only Christianity that this moron promotes is a sick and twisted Marxist version of it.

Lowlife Jerk Steals Laptop From Blind Woman on City Bus

Posted on

The Video Via Breit Bart:

The Story: (via WCCO-TV)

Emily Zitek is always on the move. She was born blind, but it has not stopped her from doing the things she has wanted to do. In August she started her own business and her lifeline became her laptop.

“It’s kind of like my partner. It’s like my partner in the business. If there are things that I need to find right away, I know where it’s at,” explained Zitek.

But on Tuesday her partner was taken from her. She was riding a Metro Transit bus, her laptop was in her backpack tucked under her seat. When Zitek got to her stop she reached for it and realized it wasn’t there. Other passengers helped her look but came up empty handed.

“That’s when I realized it really, truly is gone,” recalled Zitek.

On Friday police produced a picture of the man they think may have taken the laptop. Zitek said that if the thief was hoping to sell it at a pawn shop he is in for a surprise. The $6,500 computer is solely for the blind and only communicates through Braille.

Zitek is hoping the picture helps. She doesn’t want sympathy, she just wants her business partner back.

It takes all kinds, and based on that picture of the supposed suspect, he was not hurting for cash. Bet he was just some asshole, who would try and hawk it for a quick buck. Hopefully, he gets caught. Of course, he’s the kind that Liberals defend and say, “We can rehabilitate him!” Hmph…. put him under the jail and let him rot. 😡

Keith Olbermann Reacts to the Palin Turkey Pardon Clip

Posted on5 Comments

Okay, First off, Keith was on vacation; hence the talk about the remote island. I’m not sure which is worse; watching Keith Olbermann doing his show or watching David Shuster trying to do Keith’s Show. I give ol’ Bathtub boy credit, at least he’s sincere. Sincerely silly, at times. But just the same, he’s real about it. Watching Shuster do Keith’s show is like watching an atheist preach a Gospel Sermon. Yeah, you know, he’s saying the words, but you know damned well, he does not believe a word that he is saying. Hee hee

Anyhow, watching Keith’s reaction to the clip, I think; was comedy gold. Like AllahPundit, I think he speaks for the Liberal left on this one. I am 100% convinced that the donation offer was snark of the Ann Coulter type. Smug

What gets me is, that he did not bother to blur the gross stuff. I mean, his show comes on at 8:00pm for crying out loud! Waiting

So, here’s the clip, gore and all; those with weak stomachs and such should not watch this; because puking on your keyboard is not a healthy thing to do. For the keyboard. Tongue Oh, and shoo the kids off, I mean, I know my audience here, they see an goat naked and they’re ready to call the EPA, FBI, CIA and anyone else that will listen. Winking

Here’s the Clip: (CONTENT and GOOBER GUTS WARNING!)

….and yes, in case your wondering, I did look away at one point during the video. I mean, a blogger can only handle so much! Sick

Once and a while Carol Platt Liebau writes a damn good entry….

Posted on

At least this time she did…

Carol Platt Liebau shares a story about how Code Pink goes to; of all places; Iran. Yeah, that’s right freakin’ IRAN.

  • The Country whos “justice” system has passed the death penalty to a woman who killed a man who wanted to rape her in self defense.
  • The Country that allows a penalty called stoning, which is usually used on women and usually for “crimes” such as adultry (it has to be noted that getting raped also counts as adultry and if the rape victim fails to produce several male witnesses who confirm her story, then she is subject to execution by stoning as well, that’s how islamic “law” deals with it.)
  • The Country that doesn’t allow free speech.
  • The Country that doesn’t allow real democracy.
  • The Country which came to be under Khomeini many years ago, doesn’t allow religious freedom (just like all the other islamic countries.)
  • The Country that has supported terrorists in the past and still supports them
  • The Country that wants to start a new Holocaust by wiping Israel off the map.

Yeah, that country.

Damned Communists.  Maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll come up missing in Iran. The World would be such a better place.

The Far Left comes to its senses about Obama

Posted on

It seems that the lights have finally come on and the Obama buzz has worn off amongst the far left.

Glenn Greenwald relays the following that was written by Digby, who Blogs at Hullabaloo.

The villagers and the right made it very clear what they required of Obama — bipartisanship, technocratic competence and center-right orthodoxy. Liberals took cultural signifiers as a sign of solidarity and didn’t ask for anything. So, we have the great symbolic victory of the first black president (and that’s not nothing, by the way) who is also a bipartisan, centrist technocrat. Surprise.

There are things to applaud about the cabinet picks — Clinton is a global superstar who, along with Barack himself, signals to the world that the US is no longer being run by incompetent, extremist, political fringe dwellers. Holder seems to be genuinely against torture and hostile to the concept of the imperial presidency. Gaithner is a smart guy who has the trust of the Big Money Boyz, which may end up being useful considering the enormous and risky economic challenges ahead. Emmanuel is someone who is not afraid to wield a knife and if we’re lucky he might just wield it from time to time against a Republican or a right wing Democrat. Napolitano seems to have a deft political touch with difficult issues like immigration which is going to be a battleground at DHS. And on and on.

None of them are liberals, but then Obama said repeatedly that he wasn’t ideological, that he cared about “what works.” I don’t know why people didn’t believe that. He’s a technocrat who wants to “solve problems” and “change politics.”  The first may actually end up producing the kind of ideological shift liberals desire simply because of the dire set of circumstances greeting the new administration. (Hooray for the new depression!) The second was always an empty fantasy — politics is just another word for human nature, and that hasn’t changed since we were dancing around the fire outside our caves.

If you want to press for a cabinet appointment at this late date who might bring some ideological ballast, I would guess that labor and energy are where the action is. It would be really helpful to have somebody from the left in the room when the wonks start dryly parceling out the compromises on the economy and climate change. But basically, we are going to be dealing with an administration whose raison d’etre is to make government “work.” That’s essentially a progressive goal and one that nobody can really argue with. But he never said he would make government “work” for a liberal agenda. Liberals just assumed that.

I could not have said it better myself. I watched as the Left; both moderate and far left, made Obama into a Messiah-like figure, who would right all of America’s wrongs. It was simply a myth. Obama is not superman, nor is he God. He is simply a man. A man who chose to try a make a difference in the political realm. I do not agree with Obama’s Political ideology; but I do admire the guy for deciding to do something to make change, instead of sitting on the sidelines and complaining; which is what a great amount of Americans do.

Another Quote from this that strikes me, as a bit odd, is this:

But Barack Obama is a centrist, establishment politician.  That is what he has been since he’s been in the Senate, and more importantly, it’s what he made clear — both explicitly and through his actions — that he intended to be as President.  Even in the primary, he paid no price whatsoever for that in terms of progressive support.  As is true for the national Democratic Party generally, he has no good reason to believe he needs to accommodate liberal objections to what he is doing.  The Joe Lieberman fiasco should have made that as conclusively clear as it gets.

That is because, that is what gets elected, Americans as a rule; tend to back away from extremists. Cynthia McKinney is a perfect example of that. Obama knew that if he was going to get elected, he had to run his campaign as a centerist and as a moderate Democrat, otherwise he would have lost.

News via the Independent Political Report, that Cynthia McKinney, in attempting to fly to Damascus, Syria; was not permitted to leave the country.

Considering this woman’s track record and very strange past. One would think that this would be one person, that the Government would want to leave the United States… Possibly for good! Because the way I see it, she wants to get all chummy with Islamic terrorists, let her live over there, with her terrorist buddies. 😡

Of course, now I’m a RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCIST for saying that. 🙄

Liberal Buffoon Joy Behar Disses Home Schooled Children

Posted on2 Comments

(H/T and Thanks to Michelle Malkin)

This Liberal piece of trash just crossed into the “You don’t got there” area with me. It seems that the liberal message is being parroted loud and clear on “The View.”

Here’s the Video, the rant towards homeschooling starts at 6:10 and comes to a head at 7:10:

You see before this Liberal idiot was a so-called “comedian”, she was, you guessed it; A Public School Teacher.

This is why I am even mentioning this; Normally, I could give two flips what these idiot women talk about every week on the view. But there’s a bit of a personal reason as to why.

I, your host, was homeschoolled for about 2 years. Before I moved out of Detroit. I was attending a Private School, run by some Baptist Christians. The teacher that was there, when I first started attending there, retired. He was replaced by an idiot who couldn’t teach his way out of a paper bag. He just was not able to handle the kids. So, I opted for the homeschooling. I was on the ACE Program.

Now, admittedly, I ended up dropping out of School when I turned 18. This was no fault of the School or the program I was on at all. It was me. I had A.D.H.D.; I still have it. That program is not for everyone, it is not geared towards those who have learning disabilities. It is geared towards kids who have zero learning disabilities.  I just could not handle the math, it was very tough, I was good till the multiplication started and after that, I was toast.

The reason why this blows up my skirt so much, is because people watch this show, every freaking day and they hear the B.S. lie of homeschooled kids are demented and they believe it, because they hear this liberal buffoon saying this crap.

Let me just say this, as someone who attended Christian Schools all his life. There are many more demented kids in Public Schools, then they are in Private or among HomeSchooled kids.

Let me give a good example, Does anyone remember this picture?:

Remember this?:

Or Maybe this:

In case you don’t know what I am referring to, this video and pictures of the Columbine High School massacre which took place on Tuesday, April 20, 1999.

The two Demented shooters:

The Shooters: Eric Harris (left) and Dylan Klebold (right)

Public school kids, demented, in fact, it is recorded the about the two:

However, on the fifth anniversary of Columbine, the FBI’s lead Columbine investigator and several psychiatrists went public with their conclusions in a news article.[27] There they argued Harris was a clinical psychopath and Klebold was depressive. They believed the plan was masterminded by Harris, who they thought had a messianic-level superiority complex and hoped to illustrate his massive superiority to the world. – Source: Wikipedia

Um, Joy Behar, what was it you were saying about demented Homeschooled kids again?

Creepy, Freaky and quite deaky!: Obama to appoint an “auto czar?”

Posted on

(H/T to Michelle)

Full Disclosure: My Dad is a retired G.M. Employee and Union member.

You know, living here in the middle of all things Liberal, being a Libertarian Conservative is a bit, well; Odd. It does have it’s advantages. I tend to be a bit more Moderate about things. However, this one here spooks me.

This one’s via US News and World Report:

The troubles of the ailing auto industry are quickly becoming a major focus for President-Elect Barack Obama’s young administration. As Congress and President Bush debate an industry bailout, sources indicate that Obama may favor creating a White House office, headed by an “auto industry czar,” to oversee reforming the troubled American auto industry.

The Detroit News reports that both “Bush and Obama are signaling they may favor appointment of an auto czar to oversee the government’s efforts to funnel emergency assistance to automakers.” Congressional leaders and members of both the outgoing and incoming administrations have all said that automakers might receive federal aid only on certain dictions, including efforts “to further improve fuel efficiency and show that they have a plan to return to profitability. Automakers could also be required to give the government preferred stock in the companies and accept government representatives as board members. As in the 1979-80 Chrysler bailout, workers may have to make wage concessions.”

The press was unable to get direct confirmation of the plan yesterday. John Podesta, the former Clinton administration official heading Obama’s transition team, told the Washington Post “When we have an announcement about that, we’ll raise it.”

While I am bit happy to see that my dad’s 31 years will not be basically flushed down the toliet, because of incompetent managers.  The word Czar being used in the relation to Business, gives me the willies.  Least I be accused to trying to channel McCarthy; I think it reaks of Communism myself.

Could not they use another word? Like Commission, or Overseer, or something? Anything but Czar. 😮

I may just be a old paranoid weirdo, but Czar conjures up images of concentration camps, Nazi’s and all that sort of stuff.
