2009 Worst Political Decade Ever?
I present two videos; the first by reason magazine, which is a very funny take on the past 10 years. Which comes via HotAir.com, who has a poll up with this decade versus a few other notable decades:
The second video comes via Jack Hunter, who video blogs over at the American Conservative. Here Jack lays out a very compelling case for the fact that starting with George H.W. Bush, continuing with Bill Clinton and finally with George W. Bush; the entire big government, got even bigger:
As Jack says, and yet, conservatives are now griping about Barack Obama’s big government agenda. However, it is to be said, that Jack Hunter does point out the hypocrisy of the Democrats, when it comes to the wars. They were, in fact, loudly condemning of Bush’s Wars, but now, they’re all but silent. (Except for a few… and I mean very few…)
One point that I will offer a rebuttal to, is Jack’s point that Bush touted a more peaceful Foreign Policy, when he ran back in 2000. Jack points out that this suddenly changed after 9/11. What he fails to realize is this; on September 11, 2001, the game changed. Terrorists slammed two planes into the World Trade Centers, one plane into the Pentagon, and one plane that was headed to the White House; ended up in a field in Pennsylvania. As someone who had a terrorist almost blow up a plane near my house. I can fully understand why this game changed. However, because I am not a overly partisan blogger, I will say this; I do fully realize that Iraq, in hindsight was, in fact, a mistake. I have yet for anyone at all, to convince me otherwise, that Iraq was a direct threat to our Republic. I personally believe it was because of this massive screw up of the Bush Administration, that Afghanistan is now possibly a lost cause, and why Al-Qaeda is now attacking us once again. If I were Jack and those who agree with him; I would be watching the Yemen situation very closely. Because I tend to believe that Yemen is going to become Obama’s war, especially if he does not root out that Al-Qaeda group there.
As a fiscal Conservative; I must say that I wholeheartedly agree with Jack’s assessment of the G.O.P. and Republican establishment’s hypocrisy on spending; the same very people that are bitching to high heaven about Obama’s spending, were all but silent during the eight years of George W. Bush and his reckless drunken sailor like spending, which was primarily on a war in a country that really, when you get down to it, had zero to do with 9/11. But, yet, you have Bloggers, who are pro-war, bitching about Obama’s socialist agenda and take over of health care, plus his screwing of the economy into the ground. My question is, where were these people back in Bush’s day? Oh, that’s right, partisanship —- Which is such a horrible disease.
In fact, just here the other day; I was ripped by a “so-called” Conservative blogger, because I went to his blog and left a rather nasty message about Obama, because I was quite pissed off about his handling of the attempted terrorist act here at the airport, which is less than 10 miles from my house. (I also e-mailed him and apologized for it too..) This man goes out of his way to rat me out, and offers to give my damned IP address to anyone that wants it. But yet, on that same blog, he does the rather unfunny Osama/Obama joke on his blog. He removed it, presumably after one his readers bitched at him about it, but just the same, this idiot is going to bitch at me for being a ‘so-called’ racist and he does the same thing? That is hypocrisy and I think he knows that, because it was changed, I wish I had screen capped it and posted it here. But, I didn’t. Also, one of his commenters proceeded to give out my real name and drudge up crap that happened years ago. She also went out of her way to say that I, according to her, criticized the right more than the left. Which is, of course, stupid. I have pointed out stupid stuff on the far right and I will continue to do so; as much as I criticize the left. My point that I am trying to make is this here. Just as much as I am not drinking the idiotic socialist Kool-Aid of the Democrats; I am also not drinking the idiotic Kool-Aid of the far right either, I consider myself to me a critical, or dare I say it? A free-thinker.
I will admit, that I am a supporter of the United States Military; but I will the first to admit, that I beginning to be very skeptical of the war in Afghanistan; and I will go out of my way to say that this is NOT the fault of the United States military. It never was, it is the fault of the jackasses in Washington D.C. who could not define a damned military mission, if their lives depended on it. This is nothing new, it was the same way during the Bush Administration, much worse in fact. The problem is, our lives do depend on it. Al-Qaeda is still a damned threat and what does Obama do? Gives a half-assed speech as to the fact, that the government is on it. Yeah, uh-huh, sure. You mean, like the Government has been on the hunt of Osama Bin Laden for the last damned eight years? I call B.S. people, big time.
So, to those who come here and think this is a far right, rabid Conservative Blog. Be forewarned; my criticism and skepticism of Government and politics; and those who engage in that profession, is NOT on a partisan basis. I am quite bi-partisan on my criticisms. This blog has always been that way, and always will be.
Updated: Symphony of stupid: Terrorism continues to be a threat, Politicians play blame games
I do not always agree with him on the finer points of Conservatism; but my friend Ed Morrissey scored a nice catch here. Seems that our attempted plane bomber fiend has friends:
American officials have cause to worry there may be more al Qaeda-trained young men in Yemen planning to bring down American jets.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon.
And in a tape released four days before the attempted destruction of the Detroit-bound Northwest plane, the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasted of what was planned for Americans, saying, “We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God.”
Yemen has become a principal al Qaeda training ground and the accused suicide bomber told the FBI he was trained for more than a month in Yemen, given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants, undetected by standard security screening.
This comes on the heels of another lovely piece of news, that Mr. Plane Bomber might have had some help:
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch military police are investigating the possibility that an accomplice may have helped the Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day, a spokesman said on Monday.
A U.S. couple on the flight, Kurt and Lori Haskell, told Reuters and other news agencies that they saw a tall, well-dressed man aged about 50 with the suspect Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Friday morning at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
The Haskells have claimed the man spoke for Abdulmutallab and attempted to get him aboard Northwest flight 253 without a passport.
“At this moment we have no information on whether there was another guy,” the military police spokesman said. “We are checking all clues and information we get.”
In light of all this, is this the best that the Democrats and Republicans can do in Congress? Sit and blame one another? Lame response folks, lame, lame, lame, response. Oh yes, lets play the idiotic and childish blame game on each other, while tens of millions of lives are at stake. No wonder the American people have turned against this Congress and this President; because they are too damned busy trying to blame others, instead of trying to fix the damned problem in the first place!
The elections of 2010 and 2012 cannot come fast enough; because it is quite obvious that this Congress and this President are more interested in playing politics with terrorism, just like the last President did during his tenure in office and the American people, present company included, are sick and tired of the damn political shell games. Al-Qaeda is a serious threat to the United States of America’s National Security, and we need more than just Washington D.C. Politics of blaming one another, we need action and we need it now, before some plane is blown up over my damned house in Lincoln Park, Michigan, which is about 10 miles from the Detroit Metro Airport. Having said all that, to Congress and the President and his Cabinet — Enough of the god damned political games people. I want to be secure in living this house by the airport. I do not care who is to blame for what. I just want it fixed and I wanted it fixed now, please. Thank you.
I swear, there are days, when I believe that I am blogging about schoolchildren!
Update: Al-Qaeda has taken responsibility for the attempted attack. Here is a google translated view of the page. Not the best of good enough to give you an idea.
I wonder what Lew Rockwell would say about this case?
Sad case, but, another case of the police having to use lethal force to stop someone from killing many people.
The Story via VCSTAR.COM: (H/T Dan)
Oxnard police shot and killed the 46-year-old driver of a propane truck Wednesday outside a McDonald’s restaurant after a chase in which the suspect knocked over a motorcycle officer and rammed numerous vehicles, including police cars, authorities said.
The chase began at Wooley Road and Victoria Avenue in Oxnard about 1 p.m. after the driver refused an officer’s request to pull over, Oxnard Police Department spokesman David Keith said. Police today identified him as an Oxnard resident, but declined to release his name until family could be located.
At times during the chase, police backed off, giving the driver plenty of room because he was hauling propane, a highly explosive and flammable gas.
But police resumed the chase after the driver rammed several vehicles with the truck, Keith said.
The chase ended in the parking lot of a shopping center at Ventura Road and Fifth Street next to a McDonald’s.
Keith said the driver rammed several more vehicles in the parking lot. Fearing for their safety and that of the public, police fired numerous rounds into the cab of the truck, killing the driver.
The white truck sat in the parking lot throughout the afternoon and early evening as a crowd of onlookers gathered nearby.
Dozens of police cars were parked along Ventura Road and in the parking lot as investigators interviewed witnesses and gathered evidence. A sheriff’s helicopter hovered over the scene.
Oxnard Police Department Cmdr. Tom Chronister told The Associated Press the truck driver’s boss had alerted police that his employee was driving under the influence and acting irrationally. Other drivers also called police to report the man was driving recklessly.
The driver worked for AAA Propane in Oxnard. Owner John Simpson declined to say anything about the incident on Wednesday beyond a prepared statement: “Everyone here at AAA Propane is shocked and saddened by this event. Until we learn additional information, we will be unable to make additional comments at this time.”
During the chase, a motorcycle officer was knocked to the ground.
Keith said Wednesday evening that none of the police officers sustained serious injuries. Police found no weapons in the truck, where the body remained until a coroner arrived.
Now Lew Rockwell would say, that the man shot here was the victim. Which we all know is stupid; like most of the libertarian left. I dare say, that this stupid idiot got just what was coming to him. Must have been a liberal; because no sane rational person or Conservative would do something like this. He was a liberal or a stupid person; but I digress.

The Republican Party’s Resident Dumb Ass, is also a ‘Welfare Queen”
Now, why am I not surprised? 🙄
I never could stand her, at all. She has the same voice as a shrieking harpy of a young lady, that I used to go to school with, has just about the same intelligence level as her too:
Michele Bachmann has become well known for her anti-government tea-bagger antics, protesting health care reform and every other government “handout” as socialism. What her followers probably don’t know is that Rep. Bachmann is, to use that anti-government slur, something of a welfare queen. That’s right, the anti-government insurrectionist has taken more than a quarter-million dollars in government handouts thanks to corrupt farming subsidies she has been collecting for at least a decade.
She is not the only one, Glenn Thush over at The Politico reports:
Bachmann isn’t alone in her selective socialism: EWG found that the top four districts receiving the largest ag payments are represented by conservative Republicans.
1. 3rd district of Nebraska (Rep. Adrian Smith – Republican) – $1,736,923,011 in subsidies go to 51,702 recipients.
2. 1st district of Kansas (Rep. Jerry Moran – Republican) – $1,315,979,151 in subsidies go to 75,802 recipients.
3. 4th district of Iowa (Rep. Tom Latham – Republican) – $1,288,622,912 in subsidies go to 35,696 recipients.
4. 9th district of Texas (Rep. Randy Neugebauer – Republican) – $1,227,192,312 in subsidies go to 21,290 recipients.
Please, let’s clean up our own backyards before we start pointing out the faults of the other side.

I am a simple school bus driver. Here is a conversation I heard. Last year we had an Iranian girl who loudly proclaimed, when the school was in its Patriotic Songs Celebration (“This Land Is Your Land,” etc.): “I am not an American, I am a Muslim.”
This was done on the bus so all could hear.
This is what they feel, deep down. They don’t think like us, they lie without compunction, they want us dead or out of the way, because they are not fools like the Propositional Nationalists.
They know what a country really is; it is its land and resources. As long as we are here, we’re in their way.
I am stunned at the stupidity of our leaders. Either they go to war in a place like Kosovo and learn nothing about it and why it became the way it did, or they are biding their time until full scale civil war breaks out in the USA, so martial law can be enforced and their power grows exponentially.
Personally, I think the latter will be the case.
When will Americans rise up?
Update: Oops! My bad, it was a D.C. cop, not Chicago Cop. My Apologies to the Chicago Police Dept.
Update #2: Admittedly, these people were wrong for tossing snowballs at a car, but pulling a gun? That’s a bit extreme. Also, calling a Police Officer a “Pig” is very disrespectful. But, again, pulling a gun like this was wrong.

Obama and the Democrats play politics with the Nation’s Defense
My, what the Democrats will not to pass their idiotic socialistic healthcare bill! Captain Ed over at HotAir.com alerts to the fact that Michael Goldfarb has a source up on the hill; what he is telling Michael is unbelievable:
While the Democrats appease Senator Lieberman, they still have to worry about other recalcitrant Democrats including Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson. Though Lieberman has been out front in the fight against the public option and the Medicare buy-in, Nelson was critical of both. Now that those provisions appear to have been stripped from the bill, Lieberman may get on board, but Nelson’s demand that taxpayer money not be used to fund abortion has still not been met. According to a Senate aide, the White House is now threatening to put Nebraska’s Offutt Air Force Base on the BRAC list if Nelson doesn’t fall into line.
Offutt Air Force Base employs some 10,000 military and federal employees in Southeastern Nebraska. As our source put it, this is a “naked effort by Rahm Emanuel and the White House to extort Nelson’s vote.” They are “threatening to close a base vital to national security for what?” asked the Senate staffer.
Indeed, Offutt is the headquarters for US Strategic Command, the successor to Strategic Air Command, and not by accident. STRATCOM was located in the middle of the country for strategic reasons. Its closure would be a massive blow to the economy of the state of Nebraska, but it would also be another example of this administration playing politics with our national security.
I will be straight and honest with you. During the 2008 election, I thought Michael Goldfarb’s outlandish behavior was asinine; I still do. However, this was one hell of a good catch. Goodness, what a better way to fuel the conspiracy theory idiots like Orly Taitz, who still believe that President Obama is some sort of a covert Muslim or whatever the hell it is that they think about him now.
I will say this, this story, if true, reeks of desperation. The Democrats are obviously desperate to pass this healthcare bill. Why is this? Because they know that if this bill goes down in flames, the Democrats are sunk. They already know that the 2010 elections are not going to be kind to them; the deep sixing of this bill will only make that worse. The problem is, seeing that the public option was stripped out; you have people like Markos Moulitsas saying that the bill should be killed. Either way, this is going to be a huge disaster for the Democrats. They promised change, they promised healthcare for everyone, they overreached like nothing I have ever seen before and now, they are going to pay for it dearly. Frankly, I could not be happier; you oversell yourself and promise the moon, the stars, unicorns and rainbows, and then do not deliver — then you suffer the wrath of the voters come election time.
The point to this blog entry is this; do not make promises that you cannot keep. If you do, you will pay and it is obvious to me and every other blogger out there that the Democrats made all sorts of promises to the American people, during the election of 2008 and now they cannot deliver. Because of this, they are stooping to desperate measures. Measures which will hurt our National Security, for this the Democrats will pay come 2010 and 2012.
From the Dept. of ‘Overreact Much?’
You can file this one under the tab of “politically correctness” gone horribly amuck. Seems some idiot school out in Taunton, MA suspended and ordered an 8-year-old child to undergo a psychological evaluation for drawing a picture of Jesus. Yes, that is right folks, for drawing a picture of Jesus.
Quote:
A Taunton father is outraged after his 8-year-old son was sent home from school and required to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick-figure picture of Jesus Christ on the cross.
The father said he got a call earlier this month from Maxham Elementary School informing him that his son, a second-grade student, had created a violent drawing. The image in question depicted a crucified Jesus with Xs covering his eyes to signify that he had died on the cross. The boy wrote his name above the cross.
It does make sense that the Church community is quite upset over this, Fox News Radio reports:
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League agreed, telling FOX News Radio: “We’re going to question the mental state of the child for simply drawing a picture of Christ crucified? There’s something serious going on this school.”
I am going to be totally honest with you; there have been times when I have totally disagreed with Bill Donohue and I have, in the past, thought that his tactics were a bit thuggish in nature —- This, is not one of them times. I totally agree; something or someone at this school, made a rather bone-headed judgment call.
It also appears that the city is not too happy about it either:
Castro said city residents are outraged over the story. The mayor, who is on vacation in Florida, was immediately notified once the story broke. “It’s obvious this was not handled properly by school officials,” he said.
Castro said the school district has been ordered to reimburse the family for the psychological exam as well as implement procedures to “make sure similar incidents are avoided in the future.”
The superintendent, who answers to the mayor, did not return calls for a comment.
Call it a hunch, but I do believe that this superintendent is going to be looking for a new job very soon.

Lew Rockwell Slanders the Military….Again
Lew Rockwell’s little weasel friend by the name of Laurence Vance is still at it slandering our Nation’s finest and best Military. Mr. Vance writes over at Lew’s Blog the following smear against the United States Military:
Obviously, this picture and story are supposed to counter the negative things I have said about the U.S. military. While I applaud the actions of Lt. Hickman and his fellow soldiers, I’m afraid it doesn’t counter anything. The U.S. military unjustly invaded and still occupies Iraq. This has directly and indirectly resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. It doesn’t matter how many Iraqi children are helped by the U.S. military. There is nothing these benevolent soldiers can do to make up for what the U.S. military has done to Iraq.
Mr. Vance’s inability to write a sentence with proper grammar structure aside, this is nothing more than a leftist slander against our United States Armed Forces. It is in fact true that our Armed Forces did invade the Country of Iraq. They did so BY ORDER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, GEORGE W. BUSH. In other words, these fine brave young men and women were just doing their jobs and following orders; as one is supposed to do when in the Armed Forces. Not that Laurence Vance would know anything about serving our Country, he is too busy peddling his stupid religious books, and books that slander other Presidents —like FDR. Silly books that float the conspiracy theory that FDR purposefully allowed the ships to be attacked at Pearl Harbor and other such stupidity — Which is quite typical of the idiotic libertarian left and their idiotic twins the Paleo-Conservatives.
Some of you might wonder why I am going after Lew Rockwell and Vance. I will explain this; my family served in the United States Armed Forces, my uncle pulled a tour of duty in Vietnam. Luckily, he got out there alive. My grandfather’s two brothers pulled a tour duty in Germany during World War II. When Lew Rockwell and Laurence Vance insult the United States Armed Forces, they are insulting my family, and that my friends, I take very seriously. My family who spilled blood on foreign soil, just so these two jackasses can run a blog, which is for the sole purpose of insulting our United States Military. I am for the idea of freedom of speech and I would not dare try to stop these two thugs from speaking their mind. Nevertheless, I will counter their idiotic accusations and general stupid slanders against our Armed Forces, no matter the cost and no matter how many people e-mail me and try to intimidate me into stopping. I will not stop, ever.
I am, in essence drawing the line in the sand here and saying, “This will NOT stand!” I will not allow two leftist thugs to slander our United States Armed Forces and get away with it unanswered. The American Military is treasure to America and I will not let it be slandered. Call me a “Chickenhawk,” call me whatever you want, but I will NOT allow this to happen unchallenged. Because those brave and woman out of the front lines deserve better than this and if I have to do it alone, I will.
To my readers, I ask you this, where do you stand? Are you with the United States Military or are you against it? The decision is yours.
Updated: What? Was it something I said? – Part II
Continuing from my previous posting about the hate mailing and hateful comments that I am getting, in response to my take down of the libertarian leftists who hate this Country with a passion.
From the comments section of the previous post:
“Just to let everyone know, I said my peace on this and I am not interested in debating it. Therefore, I am shutting the comments off; because I want thisposting to stand on its own.”
Evidence of an intellectual coward. But thanks for the knee slapping laughs. I’ll my points few because your “article” DESERVES to stand on its own as an example of the willingness and ease with which your average American plebe can be brainwashed. By the way, I noticed that elsewhere you insulted a correspondent for misspellings and poor grammar. You might note that “saying your piece” is the appropriate way of saying your “peace”. Also, though I am normally a fan of the semi-colon, your use of it above is unnecessary as a comma would suffice. Given that, I’m impressed that you left the apostrophe out of “its”!
You’ve surely objected to my implication of you as being less than bright, so I’ll give you a little thought puzzle rather than assume you’re incapable of figuring this out for yourself:
“How anyone can harbor such hatred for this Country and our Nation’s Military and still claim to be ANY kind of a Christian is beyond me.”
The answer to why you even ask this question can be found here:
“When I still was on the left; as little as that was, in terms of what I believed the Democratic Party to be about, I was always under the impression that Iraq was the war that was very unjustified and that Afghanistan was in fact, the good war . . .
Wow! Here’s one deep thinker: “as little as that was . . . in terms of what I believed . . . I was always under the impression”! Boy, you sure know your lefties!
And the answer to your question, “How anyone can harbor such hatred for this Country and our Nation’s Military and still claim to be ANY kind of a Christian is beyond me,” can be found in the bible. Perhaps you should read one (nice to note that via your capitalizations, you apparently place this “Country” and our “Nation’s” “Military” on equal terms with Christ. Straight from the bible belt. Move your bible from belt level to soul level and you may get somewhere”.
Oh boy! I just noticed another of your headlines, which includes the classic, unintentionally ironic no doubt, phrase: “classless assholes”. I’m inclined to include you as a daily read at this point to pass your posts around as my laugh of the day!
Doesn’t take much humor a liberal, now does it? 🙄
You have an incredibly ill-informed view of American history, if you think that Lew Rockwell and the like are anti-war because Liberals have infiltraded their ranks. Unfortunately, you are not informed enough historically to have any understanding of which facet of liberalism you are talking about.
Up until nearly World War I, Liberal was limited government. Progressivism in that day said that a government cannot dictate anything you do in your own home that does not infringe on the rights of someone else. This also went for foreign affairs, and was the reason we delayed so long entering WWI and were not abroad starting it like we would be today. In this case, you are right, this is the Liberal ideology that is where Lew Rockwell is coming from. Unfortunately, how many living sources are there of that generation who could have possibly made the switch? Someone alive at the onset of the War and able to have a direct link to the ideology would have to be about 110 years old, right?
Moving forward to the 1960’s, and where the nation as we knew it changed. This is where the nation changed, and the political ideologies unified on political lines. This is where Liberalism started to become Neoconservatism, and Liberalism. People liken this movement to the “Make Love, Not War” movement. This is true, for the Liberals. But out of that movement came a majority contentment in the nation with “spreading Democracy around the world.” This is the ideology of Clinton, both Bushes, Obama, Carter, and on down the line. The differences between Liberals and Neoconservatives lie in the issues of government’s role in abortion and gay rights more than anything, and every where else in the issues of spending and Egalitarianism are one in the same.
Clinton used the ideas of Collectivism to decide that everyone should be able to get a home loan, and look at the mess collectivism has created. Bush decided that No Child should be left behind, and look at the mess collectivism has created. Now we have Obama, who is a full-fledged facist, and look where we are heading.
Big government, big war, and the idea that we can go around the world and modernize “primitave or tribal societies” is very depressing. The ideology goes back to the 1960’s, where we started looking to the government as opposed to our church or ourselves to define what a marriage is. It goes back to the same generation where the federal government stole abortion legalization from the states where Constitutional authority lies. The education system the same, the Federal Department of Education that the Republicans used to oppose.
I was offended at first reading your post, but now I realize how dumb you truly are. You sit back and see Lew Rockwell (or someone like myself) as being closer to today’s Fascist Liberal party more than you do George Bush and the current Republican party.
And then you say to go back and look at the Constitution, which is the epidome of irony. Considering that the founders granted power to Congress to declare and fund a war, and the President the power to execute the war within the confines granted them, the point was to require that there be so much consensus in going to war that we would seldom do so. You are not a champion of limited government or Democracy, you are a champion of centralized authority and a puppet Congress that does what the King wants. You are not in favor of the founders, you are so far from the point of the founders’ Declaration of Independence from British authority that you have joined the other side.
You chastize the Obama’s of the world for being Communists or Fascists or even a Dictator, yet you defend the decisions of the Repubcican executive branches that exude those descriptors the most.
Now I realize you are just uninformed. You read articles, and you write down something on your blog that you think Sean Hannity would have you write, and yet do not realize how unintelligent Sean Hannity is.
Just because you know what is in the news, does not make you informed enough to put it in the write scope.
You are a waste of time.
Wow. So serious. But still, A leftist no doubt.
Dear Sir,
I was saddened to read your post about Rockwell. I had not planned to respond until I read your profile and noticed that we, apparently, share a common age. As such, I thought it may be instructive to engage you in letter to better understand your opinions on these important issues. You said in your post, “the libertarian movement has been infiltrated by Anti-War leftists who hate America, our Military and…” I wonder if this is truly an accurate description of the situation. Rockwell, et. al., has always been against state aggression, war being just an example of same, regardless of the “party” currently occupying the WH. I also recall that during the Clinton years, there was a strong sentiment on the right to resist pie in the sky military adventures. Church building, school construction, humanitarian with a gun nonsense…just to name a few. Are you sure that your comments reflect the important political nuances of this life and death issue? Further, how do you square your view of the situation with such “right wing” luminaries as Robert Nisbet & Russell Kirk?
I must also take issue with your description of affairs vis-a-vis Islamic extremism. To quote your post, “Not to mention the fact that on September 11, 2001, our Country was attacked by Islamic terrorists…” That just is not a helpful understanding of the problem. The US had been negotiating with the Taliban for years; even, under Clinton, encouraging same in their transition to power. The Bush administrations continued these talks, with renewed vigor, until the summer of 2001 whence these discussions broke off abruptly in Germany. Further, Islamic radicalism proper has long been nurtured, if a bit nervously, as part of our former cold war policy. Even after the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of these same Mujhe Hadeen types were apparently used by US authorities during the Kosovo boondoggle. They, as in the ‘80’s, were funneled through the Consulate in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.
I am truly exasperated by your apparent understanding of Christianity and the State. Towards the end of the second paragraph you said, “How anyone can harbor such hatred for this Country and our Nation’s Military and still claim to be ANY kind of a Christian is beyond me.” I am at a bit of a loss to understand this view point. Please define for me the word “country”. That may help me a bit.
In closing, you made a passing mention of the Iraq war and the evolution of your thought concerning same. You stated that you now unequivocally support this operation. This is an example of what we “libertarians” (I hate to use that word) find so frustrating in the popular Conservative paradigm. The Iraq war was marketed explicitly in modern liberal terms. The flag bearers of this adventure are self described “Wilsonians” who are, almost to a man, first generation descendents of the Trotsky wing of the left/Democratic party. And you call us liberal? Again, what about Nisbet and Kirk just to name a few??
I thank you for your time and hope that this engagement will allow both of us to understand how we see these important problems. Let us look at the issue square, we are both freedom loving individuals concerned, perhaps in differing ways, about the enormous problems before our country. We are facing, with some luck, a one term President and must find ways to build at least some governing consensus if we are to right this sinking ship. I don’t question your motives; I do question the breadth of the political spectrum that shapes your analysis. Have a good day.

Yeah? Well, you’re a Florida queer liberal! So there!
Update #2: I have decided that these liberals AKA libertarian leftists have nothing to say. So, I am locking down the comments to registered people only and putting in measures to make it harder for them to comment.
Updated: Why I left the libertarian ranks: Exhibit A – Hatred of the United States Military
The following picture and caption that I am about to show you, comes from the libertarian leftist blogger Lew Rockwell. I present this personal exhibit as to why I left the Paleo-Conservative/libertarian ranks in favor of the Conservative, Pro-military ranks:
Hey Marines, how about some toys for this tot in Afghanistan:
I present this as “Exhibit A”, to the fact that the libertarian movement has been infiltrated by Anti-War leftists who hate America, our Military and why they should be stripped of their citizenship and deported out of our fine Country and into another country; like say, North Korea, Venezuela or maybe even Communist China. Not to be rude about this, but it just so happens, that if that dumb kids fellow Countrymen had not giving refuge and comfort to those who would seek to destroy America — Namely Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda; the damned kid would still possibly have his damned leg. Not to mention the fact that on September 11, 2001, our Country was attacked by Islamic terrorists who did more than just destroy a leg. It killed 2,996 of our people.
However, of course, you cannot tell this to the likes of Lew Rockwell and his bastard gang of leftists who hate this damn Country; they still believe that George W. Bush ordered those planes into the trade center towers. What really troubles me, is that the author of this posting is none other than Dr. Lawrence Vance, who is supposedly a Born-Again Christian. How anyone can harbor such hatred for this Country and our Nation’s Military and still claim to be ANY kind of a Christian is beyond me.
When I still was on the left; as little as that was, in terms of what I believed the Democratic Party to be about, I was always under the impression that Iraq was the war that was very unjustified and that Afghanistan was in fact, the good war that we were fighting to kill or capture Osama Bin Laden. I heard that from the left and I believed that myself. As it turns out, that was nothing more than a damned lie and the far-left knows it. The good majority of the far left either believes that George W. Bush ordered the attacks, to win his popularity or to justify going into Iraq. The rest believe that we had it coming or deserved the attacks because of our evil capitalistic society. This picture and caption are living proof of this; which is why, I left the liberal left and stopped voting for the Democratic Party.
Just to let everyone know, I said my piece on this and I am not interested in debating it. Therefore, I am shutting the comments off; because I want this posting to stand on its own.
Update: After reading this entry again, I realize that I did leave out one important thing. My apologies for that, I do sometimes forget to include stuff pertinent to the entry at times; A.D.H.D. does that to a fellow. Yes, I am serious about having that little disability. Anyhow, the thing I forgot to include in this little shoving of the hatred of the libertarian leftists, into their faces, is the following:
There is one unifying cause that the libertarian leftists and the socialist liberal left is their inbred hatred of war and of anything military. Further more, the libertarians and liberals hate the current state of the Government, albeit for very different reasons. The libertarians hate the size of the Government and the fact that it has become too large, and too regulatory — Which is something I can identify with myself. The socialist left, however, is angry because they cannot control that large Government. The Socialist left does not mind big Government, as long as they can control it. A perfect example of this can be found here.
So, again, the reason why I lump the libertarian leftists in with the socialist is this, not because they are one in the same, they are not, even I know this. However, it is because the libertarian leftists are totally “In bed” with the anti-war socialist leftists who resent any sort of American values or capitalism or defense of the Republic. This has been proven many times with the vile acts at the Military recruiting office in Berkley California and such matters. Same goes for the Paleo-Conservatives, They too are “in bed” with the socialist left, when it comes to foreign policy. It has been that way for years and will continue to be that way. The difference between a Paleo-Conservative and a libertarian is one thing —protectionism. This is what the Democratic Party believed in, before globalists like Bill Clinton came on the scene and passed NAFTA. It should be noted, however, that the NAFTA agreement did not pass until the Republicans took back the Congress, and Clinton became an instant moderate.
Nevertheless, my feelings toward these libertarian leftists, their Paleo-Conservative counterparts, and their cousins the Anti-War socialist left remain unabated.
Wonkette Jumps the Shark
Count me as someone who is very disgusted with this sort of disgusting bile that is now being shown on Wonkette. Whoever wrote this should be fired.
It has been over a month since Teabaggers from across the nation visited Capitol Hill to tear up physical copies of legislation and sit around Nancy Pelosi’s office like schmucks, because of her plans to create another Dachau. But next Tuesday it will be the Senate’s turn! Folks’ll walk into Senate office buildings and pretend to die, because they’re pussies, and won’t die for real.
Oh, it gets better:
This should be pretty funny. Probably a good 75% of Senators will see presumably dead bodies on the ground and do what they usually do, which is try to fuck them before they go cold. Try keeping your death gag up during that, lie-mongers.
Here the screencaps before Wonkette tries to remove the offensive posting or rewrites it:
and….:
The reason why this bothers me so bad is this is the same damn group that went after me, when I lost my cool and said something on twitter that I should not have said. However, it is okay for Wonkette to write something like this? It is a double standard and it is wrong. Something should be done about it. However, because we all know that liberals can get away with such nonsense and we Conservatives cannot, nothing will be done.
I just have to wonder, what does Obama think of such rubbish and does he endorse it?
(H/T Stop the ACLU)
Updated: The biggest reason why I always moderate the comments here
For one so nothing illegal gets posted here, plus it keeps the trolls away and so no stupid liberal blogger will use what is posted in the comments section against you.
Unbelievable. 🙄
Having said all that; this is just totally unacceptable:
I am not a fan of the socialist President, and I have made that point quite clear; but that comment is over the line. Someone ought to lose their job over at HotAir.com because of it too. Michelle, Allah, Edward; that is pathetic and I am very disappointed, in all of you, that anything like that would be permitted to stand —For any period of time.
Update: I thought it necessary to update this posting with a bit more reasoning why this display of nastiness bothers me so badly. Some of you, who have read this blog for a while might well remember, that yours truly found my personal self and my blog in a load of trouble with the left for producing a rather untactful graphic. I admit it; I screwed up in a big way. I also paid for it monetarily; the ultra-liberal left went after my advertisers and complained, and as a result, I lost a few ad companies on my site. As much as it pains me to admit it, the left was totally right for doing what they did. It was a free market solution to what I did, holding the advertisers feet to the fire and made them decide to sever ties with me. No, I am not going to play that whole Liberal Fascist line in this situation. The line of offensiveness was crossed, with my graphic, as well as, with what HotAir has done here. I feel that anyone who finds that comment offensive should contact HotAir.com’s advertisers and complain; you do have that right.
As for some idiotic freedom of speech argument, that is totally non-sequitur here. There is a line between freedom of speech and offensive speech, and it was crossed. I know, I have crossed it in the past and I have paid for it dearly. HotAir.com should NOT be allowed to get off without repercussion because they are a well-known blog either. If anything, they should be the one’s that are criticized the loudest; because they are supposedly professional bloggers.
Again, I say this, not to hurt Ed or Michelle or even AllahPundit. Nevertheless, there needs to be a standard set and this is one of them. Gentle poking of the left over policy and their idiotic identity politics and many other examples of literalistic idiotic nosense is one thing, but outright racism is inexcusable. If the left goes after HotAir; they will have absolutely no one to blame — but themselves.
Another liberal tool tries to throw tomatos at Palin, hits cop instead
Stay classy liberals!
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) – A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.
Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.
Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
via Fox 9 – in Minn. Man Chucks Tomatoes at Sarah Palin at MOA.
Man, what a loser. Looks like a child molester. Well, Child Molesters… liberals, same difference. 😛 What liberals will not do to get a piece of the spot light.

Global Warming hack shows his class
I was not going to bother writing about this, because I felt it to be a bit petty. Nevertheless, it does warrant showing just how liberals act, when challenged with facts that prove that their science is truly bogus and quite politically motivated. Again, this is just more the fascist mentality that shines through, when these leftists are confronted with reality.
This video is in two parts; I will be presenting both, so that you can watch the entire thing from beginning to end.
Enjoy…
Sarah Palin has lost it and her chances of being elected
Just when you think, that Sarah Palin could not get any lower on the level of stupidity. Something like this comes along. I know many people are wondering why that I wrote the entry earlier about the far right and me; it is stuff like this here.
The Video:
The Transcript:
Humphries: Sarah Palin here on the Rusty Humphries Show. One of the questions Jason asks is would you make the birth certificate an issue if you ran?
Palin: I think the public rightly is still making it an issue. I don’t have a problem with that. I don’t know if I would have to bothered to make it an issue because I think there are enough members of the electorate that still want answers.
Humphries: Do you think it’s a fair question to be looking at?
Palin: I think it’s a fair question just like I think past associations and past voting records. All of that is fair game. You know, I’ve got to tell you too, I think our campaign, the McCain-Palin campaign didn’t do a good enough job in that area. We didn’t call out Obama and some of his associates on their records and what their beliefs were, and perhaps what their future plans were, and I don’t think that was fair to voters to not have done our job as candidates and a campaign to bring to light a lot of things that now we’re seeing manifest in the administration.
Sarah Palin’s God-awful grasp of the English Language aside, the woman has veered into territory that even I do not care to defend anymore. I am glad to see that I am not the only one that feels the way. It appears that even Theocratic Blogs like this one agree with me:
The most charitable possible reading of this interview is that Palin is saying “turn about is fair play” and if irrational questions are going to be asked about the birth of her baby, then she will ask irrational questions about the birth the president.
First, President Obama did not ask those questions and so it would not similar for the Republican nominee to ask “birther” questions of him.
Second, for a Christian two wrongs not only don’t make a right, but actually are just more wrong. There is the whole issue of, well, the Golden Rule as well.
Third, asking whether Obama is born in the United States is not a “fair question,” because there is no credible evidence he was not born in the United States. You cannot ask a fair question when your questions is based only on a desire to do damage equal to that done to you by another.
The conservative movement must reject a populism that amounts to mob rule. Our founding fathers believed in reason and hated demagoguery. The notion that it there is any fair way to questions the President’s place of birth is beyond the pale.
Birtherism is insanity and if embraced by our nominee destroy the party of Lincoln, McKinley, Roosevelt, Coolidge, and Reagan.
Palin should clarify this quote quickly, repudiate birtherism, and birtherism as a tactic, or I predict she will be finished as a serious presidential candidate. And she should be.
I agree with the above wholeheartedly. The only people that still believe that Obama is not a citizens are people like Oraly Taitz; who is, by the way, a rabid Zionist and a person who hates anything remotely Arabic; not to mention an conspiracy theorist. This was proven when MSNBC tried to send a driver for her interview with that network and she told the driver to leave, because he had an Arab sounding name.
If Sarah Palin wants to go this road, she is finished with the Republican Party, because that party has no patience for this sort of idiotic nonsense. President Barack Obama is many things, but he is not a terrorist, nor is he an illegal alien. Anyone who still believes this is a damn fool. I think Sarah Palin needs to either issue an apology or leave the political scene for good. If she does not, she will not be even remotely considered a contender for the 2012 election, which, as for as I concerned would be a very good thing. We just do not need a theocratic candidate in the White House at all.
Update: Hmmmmmmm…..
UPDATED: Suspect in WA Shooting was Pardoned by Governor Mike Huckabee Update:Huckabee’s PAC Releases Statement
Looks like Mike Huckabee’s Presidential aspirations are over.
Gabriel at Ace of Spades HQ Picks it up:
I’m sure a thousand people are digging up old news reports on Huckabee and Clemmons. And there will be a hundred stories in all the media tomorrow on Huckabs future in politics. Here’s the summary:
(1) Huckabee pardoned Clemmons because they had a mutual acquaintance, he labored at the governor's mansion under a prisoner work program, or a minister intervened on his behalf. No, I don’t actually know why he did it and Huckabee was notorious for refusing to give reasons for his pardons. These characteristics are what many of Huckabee’s pardons had in common.
(2) The possibility that Huckabee will run for president in 2012 has moved from “less than likely” (see sidebar) to “not a chance in hell.” Which, is just the way I like it. He always was just a Democrat with a Bible. His shameful campaign in Iowa ultimately gave us McCain last year. We no longer have to worry what Certain Fuckin’ Doomabee will bring us next time.
via WHOA: Suspected Police Assassin Was Pardoned by Gov. Huckabee in 2000 – By Gabriel Malor @ Ace of Spades HQ
Oh Yeah, this is huge. If this dude got off free; because of Chucklebee. He will never see the White House, ever. I have to agree with this assessment. Everything that I have seen about Huckabee says that he was and still is a RHINO. Speaking of which, did anyone watch Huckabee’s show today? Did you happen to see the segment about the music that the soldiers listen to in Iraq and Afghanistan? Talk about some hardcore uncomfortable moments! Especially considering that Mr. Huckabee is supposedly a Christian and a Baptist.

Update: Seattle Times has the story too.
Update #2: Now a huge round up on Memeornadum Robert Stacy McCain has excellent coverage on his blog and at HotAir.com’s Green Room
Update #3: HuckPac Releases a Statement: (H/T to the Seattle P.I.)
The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.
Yeah, Sure Mike pass the buck. You are done you fool, now get rid of the show and stage act and go back to being a private citizen. What an idiot, fail to take any responsibility for his actions. I would never vote for that man, ever. Lost any and all respect that I ever had for him. 😡 Which, quite frankly, was not much at all. Mike Huckabee is a fraud, a phony, plays this self-righteous Christian game; all the while having secular music on his show. So typical of the compromising Southern Baptists, of whom 90% are not even really Born-Again at all.
Living Proof that Socialist Liberals are Classless Assholes
Cindy Sheehan and her band of code pink thugs attacked a Elderly Decorated Military Vietnam War Veteran!
The Video: (H/T to Gateway Pundit)
Gateway Pundit has more on this, including the parts NOT reported by the media.
CBS 13 in California has more:
An unidentified military veteran was involved in a tense confrontation with anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and the group Code Pink at a rally at Travis Air Force Base on Saturday, November 28, 2009.CBSA Saturday rally led by anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan at Travis Air Force Base nearly ended in a brawl when a military veteran physically confronted the protesters.
Anti-war group Code Pink demonstrated at the military base Saturday morning in the first of six planned protests against unmanned military drones currently in use in overseas war zones.
Sheehan, a well-known anti-war activist whose son was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004, was leading the demonstration with a megaphone when a man dressed in a formal military uniform stepped up to her and berated her.
Videotape of the incident shows that Sheehan yelled “Get out of my face” through the megaphone at the man, who slapped the device away. Other protesters immediately joined Sheehan and traded insults with the man, and a shoving match broke out.
Military police quickly pulled the two sides apart.
What a disgrace to America!
But, that’s Obama’s America….. 🙄

Of that of a Angry Woman with a golf club in her hand…. or something like that.
Via TMZ.COM:
Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol — that should happen this afternoon. But we’re told Tiger had a conversation Friday — with a non-law enforcement type — detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.
We’re told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We’re told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV — but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.
Tiger WoodsWe’re told Woods became “distracted,” thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.
We’re also told Woods had said during the conversation Friday he had been taking prescription pain medication for an injury, which could explain why he seemed somewhat out of it at the scene.
So, that no one gets confused here….here are the players:
Tiger Wood's Wife - Erin Nordegren
and….
Rachel Uchitel - The Other Woman
😯 Man, How come I cannot have problems like that? 😛
But seriously, poor guy, I hope tiger makes a good recovery and is able to get his personal…ahem…affairs straightened out.
…and now for the politically incorrect line of the day!
Heck, I’d just invite them all over for a three way and call it even. Oh, I’m so bad! 😉 😛 😀 😆
