Leave Jay Leno alone!

I am not sure who’s anal orifice John Nolte had his head stuck in, when he wrote this piece; but I took great issue with it.

You want to be edgy in the entertainment business today? Be polite and keep the politics as across the board as possible. Walk on stage with the “edgy” goal of wanting to entertain and take away from their daily frustrations as many people as possible.

Jay Leno’s the new edgy, the new ballsy…

And that lapel flag makes him a downright iconoclast.

I didn’t see his show, but I’m pulling for him because all the right people are not.

via Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » If Jay Leno Wants Better Reviews He Can Start By Removing the Lapel Flag.

I am not sure what John Nolte’s problem is; but his criticism of Jay Leno is totally unfounded and quite stupid, if you ask me.

It just so happens that Jay Leno has not been very outward about his politics at all. I would never call Leno a committed leftist at all. In fact, the man does tend to have Conservative leanings. I believe Jay Leno to be one of those types, who are “Middle of the Road”, when comes to matters of the political sort.  He is admittedly a supporter of the working, middle class, man in this country. Something that I do not find to be offensive at all.

In fact, I thought giving a free show to the unemployed in the Detroit Area; where I live here to be a noble gesture on his part.  I think anyone who would find that to be offensive would be either out for bloodsport or just being some sort of partisan hack. So, while I feel that Nolte was correct about his observation of Letterman. I found his criticism of Leno totally out of line and even possibly out of touch.

As for the Flag Pin criticism; let me clue you in on something. Jay Leno started with nothing, he was an absolute nobody; He started at the bottom and worked his way up. He caught a lucky break and became an extremely successful comedian. That my friends is the American dream, you could not do something like that in say North Korea, or Venezuela or maybe even Russia. —- My point is this folks; Jay Leno is the perfect example of someone living the American Dream. If he wants to wear an American flag lapel pin. I say, by all mean, let him and even praise him for it. Jay Leno is example of what Hard Work, committed endurance and possibly even a little luck will get you. If you want to be successful, you can be, you just have to work at it.

Having said all that; let’s leave “The Chin” alone. He’s earned his wings and he did it the hard way. Let us not criticize someone for loving this Country. In this day of Leftest Presidents apologizing for this Country; let us condemn someone for quietly, if not subtly praising this Country and it’s many freedoms.

Updated: So this is what happens when you put in a Black President? Two Teens Charged

Video:

The Story:

A Belleville West High School student was beaten aboard a bus on the way to school Monday, and a police spokesman said the beating could be racially motivated.

The 17-year-old victim was white and the teen assailants were black. Police released a video of the beating, which shows the victim being punched repeatedly while other students on the bus gather to watch, some cheering. It doesn’t appear that the victim did anything to provoke an attack and tried only to defend himself. Police said it all unfolded in a five-minute span.

The victim was trying to find a seat and was told by two students he could not sit next to them, police said.

As he walked to the seat, someone shouted, “Beat his ass.”

When he did sit down, one teen tried to push him out of his seat then began grabbing the victim’s neck and punching him in the face.

With each punch, some in the crowd chanted, “Boom, boom, boom.”

The victim eventually returned to his seat, but another student began taunting him a few minutes later. The victim was then struck in the face.

It was unclear what, if anything, the bus driver did to stop the attack. At one point, before the second attack, a man shouts, “Sit down guys.”

Students intervened to help the victim both times.

“In my estimation, it’s racially motivated,” said Capt. Don Sax of the Belleville Police Department. He said one reason he had formed this opinion was that many of the students, most of whom were black, yelled their support for the beating.

“There was absolutely no justification for the beating either time,” Sax said.

Of course, when Obama’s people got to him and told him he had better change his story; the police backed off:

A Belleville police spokesman now says an incident where a white student was beaten by teen black assailants on a bus “may not be racially motivated.”

“It was premature on my part,” said Belleville Police Capt. Don Sax. “It was my personal and emotional comment after only seeing the video briefly.”

Sax said police interviewed the 17-year-old Belleville West High student. However, he said he was unaware of what the student told police.

Some of the students on the bus yesterday during the incident cheered the beating, the video shows.

Sax said a formal statement would be made available later today.

“After having reviewed the video, it doesn’t strike me nearly as racially motivated,” Sax said.

The about-face came this morning as the story made national headlines. Although, Sax said it was purely his review of the video that changed his mind.

Belleville has had a long history of racial turmoil, with a past that includes police harassment of black motorists, cross burnings and discrimination in city hiring.

The divide began a century ago, in 1903, when a black man was lynched by a mob of 5,000 people in the town square, set on fire and dismembered.

Yeah, Uh-huh, I wonder what Obama threatened you with, your job? Of course it was racially motivated! It is almost ALWAYS racially motivated whenever a black kid beats up a white kid, ALWAYS! Amazing, these black kids will get a slap on the hand and will get some detention or something to that effect; if they’re lucky.  Meanwhile, Our prisons are filled to overflowing with White people, who just “Beat Up” a black man.

Amazing. 🙄

Update: Two Teens were charged under the juvenile code today with felony counts of aggravated battery.  It was not the hate crime charge that I was hoping for; but I will take this. Hopefully these thugs learn their lesson. It’s too bad though that they were not tried as adults and had hate crimes on their records too. But, this is a half victory for white people everywhere. It should be a message to the black community that you cannot beat up white people with impunity .

Marc Garlasco Suspended

A little follow up on the Nazi collector, who just happens to be a military analyst for Human Rights Watch.

The New York Times reports:

A leading human rights group has suspended its senior military analyst following revelations that he is an avid collector of Nazi memorabilia.

The group, Human Rights Watch, had initially thrown its full support behind the analyst, Marc Garlasco, when the news of his hobby came out last week. On Monday night, the group shifted course and suspended him with pay, “pending an investigation,” said Carroll Bogert, the group’s associate director.

“We have questions about whether we have learned everything we need to know,” she said.

The suspension comes at a time of heightened tension between, on one side, the new Israeli government and its allies on the right, and the other side, human rights organizations that have been critical of Israel. In recent months, the government has pledged an aggressive approach toward the groups to discredit what they argue is bias and error.

Injected suddenly into that heated conflict, word of Mr. Garlasco’s interest seemed startling to many. The disclosure ricocheted across the Internet: Mr. Garlasco, an American, was not only a collector, he has written a book, more than 400 pages long, about Nazi-era medals. His hobby, inspired he said by a German grandfather conscripted into Hitler’s army, was revealed on a pro-Israel blog, Mere Rhetoric Mere Rhetoric, which quoted his enthusiastic postings on collector sites under the pseudonym “Flak88” — including, “That is so cool! The leather SS jacket makes my blood go cold it is so COOL!”

It was a Rorschach moment in the conflict between Israel and its critics. The revelations were, depending on who is talking, either incontrovertible proof of bias or an irrelevant smear.

…and what this guys response?

Ms. Bogert called the attacks on Mr. Garlasco and her group “a distraction from the real issue, which is the Israeli government’s behavior.”

Oh, Yes! It is Israel’s fault that your Military analyst is some Nazi Memorabilia collecting whack job?  What a fucking stupid ass idiot!

The tool goes on to say:

Mr. Garlasco declined to be interviewed. But on Friday he posted an essay with the Huffington Post in which he called the Nazis “the worst war criminals of all time,” explaining that he was simply a “military geek” whose interest grew out of his own family’s history.

“I’ve never hidden my hobby, because there’s nothing shameful in it, however weird it might seem to those who aren’t fascinated by military history,” he wrote. “Precisely because it’s so obvious that the Nazis were evil, I never realized that other people, including friends and colleagues, might wonder why I care about these things.”

Oh Sure, who confronted, play dumb! What a fucking tool. 🙄

Yaron Ezrahi, a professor of political science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, said he did not believe that Mr. Garlasco’s interest in memorabilia could support allegations of “premeditated bias.” He said, however, that Human Rights Watch’s credibility might have been wounded because Mr. Garlasco’s hobby “has armed the right-wing fanatics” who “work day and night to demonize any individual or organization that raises questions about the military practices of Israel when they end up even with unintended civilian casualties.”

And that is one thing that seems to especially trouble Ms. Cobban, who said in an interview that the controversy played into the hands of the government and its helpers in the fight.

“They have been given this deus ex machina gift,” she said, “about the discovery of Garlasco and his out-of-hours hobby.”

Well, Ya think? What the fuck else would Jewish people and Israelis think about some asshole liberal human rights organization, who’s military analyst is some sort of fucking Nazi freak? If I were the prime minister or whatever the fuck Israel calls their political leader over there, I would want this ignorant asshole run out on a fucking rail!

If my Christian readers of this blog will please excuse me. I feel the overwhelming need to vent my spleen, please cover your eyes. It is late and I find myself in one of those “Andrew Dice Clay” frame of minds. —- Now can someone please answer me this one fucking simple question? Just why the fuck would someone, who most likely went to the 12’th grade, and went to College and got some sort of nice degree; then ended up getting some sort of cushy job like this, only the fuck himself squarely in the asshole, because some stupid fucking squirrel-humping stupid assed hobby like this?!?!?!  Anyone?!??! I mean, seriously people; What the fuck is wrong with people’s fucking heads?

I mean, I am sitting here, a high school fucking drop out, I have A.D.H.D., unless God decides to suddenly heal me of this disability, I do not have a snowball’s chance in the devil’s hell of ever getting a job like this; and EVEN I KNOW that collecting shit like Nazi memorabilia, is not only stupid, but  borderline mental patient material! On top of this, this jerk off has a fucking classy assed job of making sure that Israel is not breaking human rights laws. I mean, is this fucking mental midget serious? Holy.fucking.hell!!!!!! 😯

I swear; If I could bottle up common sense and sell it as a carbonated soda, I would be a fucking Millionaire. As for this Douche-nozzle, he needs a fucking keg. I mean, Nazi collector, being a human rights watcher for Israel. What the fuck?!

No matter how you slice it, this just ain’t good, at all.

This is bad, real bad.

Via the U.K’s Daily Mail:

You may wish to know this because, if ever you had an irrational desire to charter one, now would be the time. This time last year, an Aframax tanker capable of carrying 80,000 tons of cargo would cost £31,000 a day ($50,000). Now it is about £3,400 ($5,500)


This is why the chilliest financial winds anywhere in the City of London are to be found blowing through its 400-plus shipping brokers.


shipsatseaBetween them, they manage about half of the world’s chartering business. The bonuses are long gone. The last to feel the tail of the economic whiplash, they – and their insurers and lawyers – await a wave of redundancies and business failures in the next six months. Commerce is contracting, fleets rust away – yet new ship-builds ordered years ago are still coming on stream.


Just 12 months ago these financiers and brokers were enjoying fat bonuses as they traded cargo space. But nobody wants the space any more, and those that still need to ship goods across the world are demanding vast reductions in price.

Do not tell these men and women about green shoots of recovery. As Briton Tim Huxley, one of Asia’s leading ship brokers, says, if the world is really pulling itself out of recession, then all these idle ships should be back on the move.

‘This is the time of year when everyone is doing all the Christmas stuff,’ he points out.

‘A couple of years ago those ships would have been steaming back and forth, going at full speed. But now you’ve got something like 12 per cent of the world’s container ships doing nothing.’

Aframaxes are oil bearers. But the slump is industry-wide. The cost of sending a 40ft steel container of merchandise from China to the UK has fallen from £850 plus fuel charges last shipsatsea2year to £180 this year. The cost of chartering an entire bulk freighter suitable for carrying raw materials has plunged even further, from close to £185,000 ($300,000) last summer to an incredible £6,100 ($10,000) earlier this year.

Business for bulk carriers has picked up slightly in recent months, largely because of China’s rediscovered appetite for raw materials such as iron ore, says Huxley. But this is a small part of international trade, and the prospects for the container ships remain bleak.

Some experts believe the ratio of container ships sitting idle could rise to 25 per cent within two years in an extraordinary downturn that shipping giant Maersk has called a ‘crisis of historic dimensions’. Last month the company reported its first half-year loss in its 105-year history.

Martin Stopford, managing director of Clarksons, London’s biggest ship broker, says container shipping has been hit particularly hard: ‘In 2006 and 2007 trade was growing at 11 per cent. In 2008 it slowed down by 4.7 per cent. This year we think it might go down by as much as eight per cent. If it costs £7,000 a day to put the ship to sea and if you only get £6,000 a day, than you have got a decision to make.

No matter what your politics is; this is truly bad. Living proof that were are in a globalist economy, and when America hurts; the World hurts too. Of course, the American Presidential Administration that caused all this, is long gone. The Clinton Administration.  If the Clinton Administration had not used it’s housing commissioner to pressure Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to produce those high risk, Adjustable rate Mortgages; which ended up being traded as credit swaps on the market; none of this would have ever happened. But it did, and the balloon economy was created, and the World went with it. When the Balloon popped; the rest of the world came down with it.

It is truly sad thing to behold. But there were warnings and they went unheeded. So, now we have this. There are no easy solutions. But it will rebound, it just takes time.

Predictably, Dan blames Obama. Sorry Dan, that is just plain dumb; Much of this was caused by Clinton and his stupid housing policy. It predates Bush and Obama. So, let’s get off the stupid? Okay? 🙄

Two Movies on Liberty

First up is The Most Incredible Challenge from 1965.

Synopsis: This film, narrated by Luis Van Rooten and directed by Robert Braverman, was produced by the Radio Liberty (RL) Committee, the parent organization of Radio Liberty, to publicize RL in the United States. The film features RLs production center in Munich, its news-gathering operations around the world, and its transmitter facilities in Germany, Spain, and Taiwan.

For the Licensed Amateur Radio operators that happen to read this blog; who also happen to be fans of old “Boat Anchors” as they are called, see if you spot the old Rockwell-Collins and other such gear in this piece. The place to see it really good, is at the 18:14 mark. Some really nice gear there from Amateur Radio’s greatest era. 😀

The Second is “This Is Radio Free Europe” from 1964:

Synopsis: This film, narrated by Polish broadcaster Andrzej Kzeczenowicz, gives an overview of Radio Free Europes news-gathering and audience research, its production center in Munich, and its transmission operations in Germany and Portugal. Produced by the Free Europe (RFE) Committee, the parent organization of Radio Free Europe, the film helped publicize RFE in the United States. It thus includes solicitations for contributions to the RFE Fund, successor to the Crusade for Freedom, which helped finance RFE.

Folks, I simply offer these videos with this question: Were these station employees, the political bloggers of that era? Are we now the voices of liberty? I like to think that we are the newspaper writers; the ones encouraging the dissent and the debate. Is Russia of old, just a future picture of America? Those are the questions that we must ask ourselves come 2010.

Remember my follow Americas, dissent is not, not has it ever been unpatriotic. The socialist left calls us racists, tea-baggers, rich people with attitudes; we know the truth and we will not stand by idly and allow a socialist oligarchy defeat us or the Nation and the principles in which it was founded upon.  We must fight, not with guns or weapons; this is a battle of ideas and information. The Media, except for perhaps Fox News, is basically carrying water for the establishment. We are the new fifth estate or even possibly the sixth Estate; if there was such a thing. Being in this position of the minority; we must get our collective act together. We need to, as Bloggers and Conservatives, try to stay away from the stupid and the petty. We need to distinguish ourselves from the Alex Jones Conspiracy theory crowd and stick to the mainstream news and offer a counter-view to the main stream media’s view.

I leave you with this Bible verse:

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.  (2 Timothy 4:1-5 King James Version)

and this timeless quote from The Lord Jesus Christ himself:

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.  (John 9:1-5 KJV)

Why would we as Christians, as Conservatives want to be any different?

In Liberty,

-Pat

Blogger Fight Club

Looks like there’s a huge blog war erupting between two Bloggers.

Go here to read.

Get popcorn and plenty of Soda, this one’s gonna get real interesting.

I will just never understand why bloggers, who worked their tails off to become the huge stars that they are; turn right around and do themselves in like that. It just does not make any sense.

Ah well, at least I’m not in the line of fire. 😉

Lies, Damned Lies and more Lies

I notice in the Blogosphere today that the Liberals are accusing Conservatives of lying about the turn out in Washington D.C.

How ironic that the Socialists are crying foul about lying; seeing that their own dear leader is quite the liar himself.

Let’s review, shall we?

My that’s quite a bit of lying.

I think his nose should be growing…

Remember this little whopper of a big lie?

…and the Kool-Aid Drinkers bought it; hook, line and sinker.

So, perhaps…. Joe Wilson; was right?

Of course, the bill was changed, after Joe Wilson called the President on it. But still, are not these other lies legit? I think they are.

Exit Question: If a Republican lied like this man has, would not he be held to a higher scrutiny? But because he is a black liberal, he skates for free? Isn’t that the honest truth?

Late Night at the PB Pub Presents: Eric Burdon and the Animals

Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, shape or form intend this posting to be considered to be any sort of disrespect towards our Nation’s Military. Those guys are out there on the battlefield so that people, like Eric Burdon; can be free to express his opinions and write songs like this one.  Having said all that; I do wish this to be considered a political commentary towards our Nation’s leaders, former and current; on sending our Nation’s finest into wars that cannot be won. I also intend it to be a commentary on unjustified war. I make zero apologies for this.

This here makes what I do totally worth it.

First off, let me just say thanks to everyone who has been coming over via twitter today and from Digg and Reddit and also Stumbleupon.

I received this via e-mail… spelling and grammar errors are all original.. This is from reader Elizabeth:

Patric my dear,

I rather like your blog and I am happy know that there is place to go when I feel all around is to much and wish to find people with same believing and mind.
I come to the stage that I do not even listen any more to people at all who belives Obama or talking for..
…I just want to hear people who is opposing him… and futher more I am praying gor the day to come when I wake up and i read in  the papers;  Obama resign from his posision as  a president…!!!

I tried to reply back to her, but it bounced. So, I will post it here:

Thank you Ma’am. I work hard everyday to keep my readers informed and somewhat happy. I try to avoid talking points and bluster. I try to challenge socialism with honesty and integrity. I sometimes get angry. But usually I am level-headed.

Thank you writing.

I meant every word of that. It’s those little e-mails like that; that make every aggravation with running this blog, every stressful thing, that I have had to endure; and believe me there have been quite a few —- worth every minute of my time. When I started over on December 30, 2007 at 4:44 P.M.; I knew that, at the time that I was not happy with the Democratic Party. But at the time, I had zero clue that my politics was going to go as far to the right as it has. I must admit, Obama’s nomination and election helped much of that.

Now I very highly doubt that we will see Obama resign as President; barring something huge dropping and him having to resign to avoid impeachment. But I believe that we Conservative bloggers will be the legitimate catalyst for the loyal opposition. I believe that all of us, not just me; are doing the Lord’s work and we’re fighting for America. Which I will continue to do, as long as I am able to write. We may not all agree 100% on everything. But, we all agree that Obama’s policies are hurting America.

It is not about the money and it sure as heck, is not about the fame. At least not with me. Believe you me, I would like nothing more, than to slip back into anonymity and just do nothing. But how could I? This Nation has been too good to me over the years, to just sit and do nothing. I love my Country and I just cannot sit on the sidelines and watch a socialist President destroy the very foundations of which this country was founded upon.

I may be a small part. But I am a part… and for that, I am very glad. 🙂

Former Leftest turned FBI informant exposes ACORN for what it really is

This is quite the interesting read.

The Money part:

In the following weeks, I was made aware of the fact that ACORN had reopened its New Orleans office (several months after the storm). Various groups from around the city informed me that Acorn was upset with us because we were in “their” community and had not sought approval from ACORN to operate there. I was told that ACORN said that we were “privileged white people who had come to a Black community as saviors and we refused to work with local Black leadership.”

The more I pondered the matter, the more I realized what was happening. As usual in marginalized and impoverished communities, a small group of radical self-proclaimed leaders was insisting that all local aid and relief came through them—even if they were AWOL for several months. Though the majority of residents either hadn’t heard of ACORN or simply disagreed with their politics- ACORN insisted that they were THE Black leaders. This was upsetting to me. Sure, the local pastor we worked most closely with was Black; but that didn’t matter to ACORN. It was as if Pastor Johnson didn’t count because he didn’t evoke the name of Elijah Mohammed or Malcolm X. It was as if Pastor Johnson didn’t count because he didn’t submit to ACORN’s mandate that ACORN was the sole leadership of Black New Orleanians.

As then director of Common Ground Relief’s 9th Ward project, I was warned by many that ACORN would ruin me politically if I didn’t submit to their leadership. I believed in what I was doing and how I was doing it. I refused to submit. The political fallout was almost unbearable. I just kept my eyes on meeting the needs of the community. When confronted by adherents to ACORN’s brand of race analysis, I pointed out that ACORN was not there immediately after the storm, so I could not have sought their leadership even if I had wanted to.

Over the following years, that particular style of political attack was prominent in New Orleans. Anytime that ACORN was displeased, the other party was deemed a racist. If the other party disagreed with the label or with ACORN’s agenda- they were met with “of course you feel that way. You are a racist.” Though it is clearly woefully inaccurate and unethical to use such an accusation as a political attack and as a means of shutting down philosophical debate and discourse, some at ACORN didn’t let that stop them. I refused to submit to it. I believed in listening to the majority of the community, who were desperate for our help, and not only to the self-proclaimed leaders. I paid a dear price for it.

Wow…. Just wow… No wonder the census bureau cut these people loose.   My question is this here. Why in the heck were these chuckle-heads involved with the Government, in the first place? I mean, who was the brain-dead fool, who decided that the US Government should be involved with them?

Many questions arise here; and I will bet you that none of them will be answered, until President Obama is safely out of office and living back in Kenya Chicago.

and, there’s this very cool video that comes via JammieWearingFool:

The only objection I have to this video is this. At the part where it says, “New Boss, same as the old boss”; I would have a picture of George W. Bush, and then faded in a Picture of Obama and not Karl Marx. Because whether we want to admit it or not. Obama is just continuing the policies of Bush. The stuff that he promised to change. He has not. He is doing the same stuff.

Anyhow, it was a great protest. Even if I did sleep through most of it. 😳 😀

Update: ….and of course, Think Progress goes out of their way to find “offensive” signs and of course blame the Republicans for it. Nuance.

Update #2: Liberals accuse Michelle Malkin of faking a photo and of course, she schools the idiot bastards….again.

AllahPundit and Me

If you have come looking for that Angry rant by me; about AllahPundit….. I pulled it.

It seems that HotAir.com has a software glitch in a plug-in that causes trackbacks to disappear.

At least that is AllahPundit’s story.

Let’s just say that when it comes to trust right now; AllahPundit is Hitler and I am Neville Chamberlain.

Oh, Yeah, and by the way. AllahPundit wrote some powerful stuff about 9/11. Maybe this time, my trackback will not disappear. If I am lucky.

Updated:Anti-abortion activist shot dead in front of School – Obama and Liberals Silent Confirmed Motive was political

Waiting for the breakneck coverage from the Liberal Media on this. I will not hold my breath; least I turn blue and die.

State police at the Corunna post have confirmed a well-known anti-abortion activist was shot multiple times and killed this morning in front of Owosso High School.

The victim’s identity has not yet been released but the shooting occurred around 7:30 a.m., after most students were off the buses and safely inside the building, said Owosso schools transportation supervisor Jayne Campbell.

State police also confirmed that a suspect was taken into custody about 8:15 a.m. at the suspect’s home.

Owosso High School secretary Wendy Smith said the students remain in lockdown this morning and confirmed that no students were involved and all are safe with classes going on as normal. The shooting did not occur on school property, Smith said.

Meanwhile, police have completely ringed with police tape a section of North Street in front of the school.

A black car can be seen parked at the corner of North and Whitehaven streets, where a portable oxygen tank is lying in a front yard next to a large sign bearing the image of a baby and the word “Life.”

via Anti-abortion activist shot in front of Owosso High School – MLive.com.

For what it is worth; the man was 63 years old. I am glad that the suspect was caught; also there was another murder, that took place that was carried about by the same suspect. I believe it would be a bit premature to speculate whether the murder was related to his advocacy or not. So, I will speculate on this. But I will say that, if this had been an abortion doctor; it would have been front page news. I am even suprised that Fox News is not even covering it. They are too busy playing 9/11 footage over and over and over.

Update: As I suspected and as it was already reported, but now confirmed in the media. The suspect was angry with this man’s opposition to Abortion: (A HUGE H/T to HotAir.com!)

Via USA TODAY:

A 33-year-old Michigan man has been charged with murder in the shootings this morning of an anti-abortion protester outside a high school and the owner of a gravel company found dead in his office.

Harlan Drake of Owosso, near Lansing, was arraigned on two counts of first-degree murder and other gun-related crimes. Prosecutors said Drake also had planned to kill a third, unidentified person.

Longtime anti-abortion activist James Pouillon, 63, was shot multiple times from a passing car about 7:20 a.m. ET. He was protesting across the street from Owosso High School as students were arriving for classes. Witnesses, including students, provided the gunman’s license plate.

About the same time Mike Fuoss, 61, was found dead in his office at Fuoss Gravel in Owosso Township.

Drake was arrested at home about an hour later. Police said he stated he had also shot Fuoss.

“The indication is that he had ill will … a grudge against these three individuals,” said Shiawassee County Prosecutor Randy Colbry. “The defendant was offended by the manner of Mr. Pouillon’s message.”

Still waiting for that Statement from Obama condemning this murder. Still waiting for the outrage amongst the Liberals and the wall to wall coverage of the Liberal MSM. I won’t hold my breath; least I turn blue and die. 😡


Joe Wilson Redux

I figured that this would happen. But it appears that Congressman Joe Wilson is getting the “Joe The Plumber” treatment from the Liberal Media. I figured that this would happen; seeing that he dared to challenge the great fuhrer. So, now, Obama orders a blitzkrieg against the Congressman. But it did get the bill changed; which is good thing.

Hopefully, Joe Wilson can survive the onslaught from the Liberal Fascists.

Again, as I wrote before; What he did was disrespectful. But, I believe that the President is not a king and he should be challenged, if it is thought that he is lying.

Republican Congressman Joe Wilson Heckles the President

Now this is new; I have never heard of this happening ever on the Senate floor.

The Video: (H/T The Hill)

The Story via The Hill:

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) apologized Wednesday night for heckling President Barack Obama as a liar during the president’s speech to a joint session of Congress.

Wilson shouted to the president “you lie” after Obama said illegal immigrants would not benefit from health insurance coverage from the reform bill. Obama glared disgustedly in the direction the remark came from, as did Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Vice President Joe Biden.

The problem is; he was lying.

Of course, John McCain showed his true colors as a RINO:

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Democratic leaders immediately called on Wilson to apologize, and he did so in a statement that said he’d let his emotions get the better of him.

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the president’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill,” Wilson said.

“While I disagree with the president’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable.  I extend sincere apologies to the president for this lack of civility.”

House Democratic Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.) called Wilson’s outburst “embarrassing,” while McCain said it was “totally disrespectful” and that there was “no place for it in that setting or any other.”

McCain said Wilson “should apologize for it immediately.”

Good ol’ Johnny McCain, always in lockstep with the Democrats. What more can be expect from someone who lied about his damn Vietnam experiences?

Of course, ol’ Shoeshine boy James Clyburn, has got to get his dig in:

Clyburn said South Carolina was already suffering because of Gov. Mark Sanford. “Now we got one of out Congresspeople to drive our reputation to a new low.”

Sanford has endured calls for his resignation after admitting to an affair.

Why is this all happening? Here’s why:

The incident was reminiscent of the town halls across the country that came to define Obama and the Democratic Party’s problems with healthcare during a tough August recess. Democratic senators and House members, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) were frequently heckled by constituents during the town halls, and the rowdiest events became staples of cable news.

Well, Golly gee… Let’s see, the President of the United States wants to essentially destroy one third of our economy; and he wonders why people, like Joe Wilson are angry?

But still there is a bit of historical context here:

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said he has never witnessed such a scene in 35 years of watching presidential addresses.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Leahy said. “I talked to a number of my Republican friends on the way out who were mortified and angry that someone would do that.

“I’ve been in situations with presidents with whom I absolutely disagreed with,” said Leahy, who had a memorable exchange in 2004 on the Senate floor with Vice President Dick Cheney. After criticizing the vice president about his ties to Halliburton, Cheney used an obsenity with Leahy.

Still, Leahy said he hadn’t seen anything like a lawmaker calling the president a liar during an address to Congress.

“But nobody — nobody — ever has done anything like that,” he said. “He is the head of government for our country.”

He does have a point. It is a respect thing. Barack Obama is the President of the United States and some respect is due. Even if he is wrong.

The Politico has reported that Joe Wilson has called Rham Emmanuel and apologized. His Statement:

“This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill. While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility.”

Which was the best thing for him to do. As the Democrats could and very much would try and censure the man. Just like they did Joe McCarthy who was working to prevent people like Barack Obama from ever getting to the White House in the first place.

Another startling report comes from Protein Wisdom, there are people; blacks mostly, that are threatening to kill Joe Wilson on Twitter.  This is totally disgusting and this should be investigated by the F.B.I. —- I also received several reports that Joe Wilson’s office in D.C. or somewhere was firebombed or was going to be. I hope that this is not the case. One twitter that I read said something involving Joe Wilson’s kids. Folks, that is just not funny, at all. If you have a beef with the man, fine. But leave the family out of it.

AllahPundit quips:

Update: When do Obama and Reid apologize for their month of jackassery?

Good question. When do Democrats apologize for their actions and disrespect of our Military? Good luck with that! 🙄

Now this here is the epitome of STUPID!

…and the real kicker is he’s a Republican. 🙄

The Juicy quotes:

Freshmen legislators arriving in Sacramento receive advice from veteran politicians about the intricacies of working in California’s capital. One of those tips is to remember that microphones broadcasting legislative debates can also capture embarrassing, career-ending personal admissions if a politician isn’t careful. Michael D. Duvall, Orange County’s 72nd Assembly District representative, must have forgotten the warning.

In July–two days after Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and Republican leader Sam Blakeslee put Duvall on the Rules Committee that oversees member ethics–the second-term, conservative, Republican assemblyman sat in a public hearing and vividly described lewd details about his trysts with a female lobbyist whose clients had business before another committee on which Duvall sits.

Partial Transcript of the video:

“She wears little eye-patch underwear,” said Duvall, who is married with two children. “So, the other day she came here with her underwear, Thursday. And so, we had made love Wednesday–a lot! And so she’ll, she’s all, ‘I am going up and down the stairs, and you’re dripping out of me!’ So messy!” …

“So, I am getting into spanking her. Yeah, I like it. I like spanking her. She goes, ‘I know you like spanking me.’ I said, ‘Yeah! Because you’re such a bad girl!’” …

But Duvall wasn’t content to just share one adulterous tale at the July 8 committee hearing. He referenced a second, simultaneous affair with another woman. He seemed amused that he was cheating on both his wife and a mistress.

“Oh, yeah, Sher, Shar, Shar,” Duvall said. “Oh, she is hot! I talked to her yesterday. She goes, ‘So are we finished?’ I go, ‘No, we’re not finished.’ I go, ‘You know about the other one [Barsuglia], but she doesn’t know about you!’”

Ed Morrissey who’s usually not as crass as I; sums it up like this:

Good Lord.

I could not agree more. I mean, it is one thing to be doing the wild willy wonka with two different women, besides your wife. But to brag about it…. in front a live mike no less! The man has resigned, thankfully. This is in California, by the way, strange folk out that way.

….and for my favorite part of all.

Spanking. Heh… Yeah, there is going to be spanking alright. His wife spanking his ass in a court of law; when she sues him for divorce. After that is over with, the only sex this idiot will be getting is when he is spanking his monkey!

The Jokes write themselves…. 🙄

Now, watch, every damned pervert on the internet is going to be coming to my blog looking for spanking pics and movies… Wonderful. 🙄 Hey, Maybe it will do something for my traffic. (!)  😀 😮

Living Proof Liberals are classless assholes

….and boy is this one a humdinger too. Hold on to your hats. Because this one is totally off the rails.

Liberal Talk Show host Mike Malloy says that he believes that the Station Fire out in California, which was intentionally set, was set by right wingers. Unbelievable.

Here’s the Video: (H/T to Gateway Pundit) Note he even mentions Jim Hoft in the video and accuses someone who “works” for him of setting the fires! Time to lawyer up Jim!

Full Transcript: (H/T to the Radio Equalizer)

MIKE MALLOY (1:40): The incident commander, at the so-called Station Fire, the one that’s burned 150,000 acres, and is responsible for the deaths of two firefighters; the incident commander, Mike Dietrich, says this is an act of domestic terrorism.

Now, who is known for committing acts of terrorism in the United States? The last big one was Timothy McVeigh, who took the lives of 168 people, I think this is exactly what the report from Department of Homeland Security four to five months ago was warning against.

That these insane people, the neo-fascists on the right, the Republicans who have flipped out, the ones who are terrified that the President of the United States is going to address schoolchildren, the ones who are convinced that in an attempt to reign in health care costs to make it a little easier and more competitive is acting in the spirit of Adolf Hitler; the ones who carry guns; these crazy SOBs are the ones responsible, in my opinion, for the fire.

I would not be surprised to find out that someone had the copy of the protocols of the Elders of Zion in their back pocket; or a book of racist information about those damn Negroes in the other back pocket; or somebody who used to be a Klansman; or an NRA board member perhaps, yeah, that would make sense, wouldn’t it; or somebody who works for (US Senator) Jim Inhofe out in Oklahoma, or one of the tea baggers, or one of the birthers, or one of the deathers, or a whole group of them decided hey, it’s a perfect opportunity man, it is California, let’s go get all the fruits and nuts out there – let’s set a big ass fire.

I am pretty convinced that this act of domestic terrorism, that’s what it’s called by the station fire commander, Mike Dietrich, he said any act against the wild is domestic terrorism. Now who usually commits these acts of domestic terrorism? Bill Ayers? No! Some goddamn hippie? No!

Usually, it’s a crazed right-winger that has been pushed beyond the limit of their little tiny lemur brains by people like Glenn Beck, or Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity or crazy-eyes Michelle Malkin, they are the ones that push people that committ acts of terror!

ED SCHULTZ FILL-IN HOST (01:37): Are the Republicans so mentally ill that another Oklahoma City bombing is looming?

HOST (02:31): I’m scared now for my country, I am. People have gone so far off the rails that something very, very scary, I feel it coming and I’m trying to deny my feelings but I gotta share it with you right here on the Ed Schultz show.

HOST: He was so hateful of the federal government and I blame Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, the whole bunch of those guys who whipped up such hysteria about the government, the government (!!), that a couple of wackos took matters into their own hands, got violent and blew things up, and I feel the hysteria building now.

Unbelievable. Truly classless and utterly asinine. To accuse those, of whom you disagree with of murder? That is over the top and totally uncalled for. Mike Malloy should be fired from his job immediately.

Anyone that has Mike Malloy’s home address and telephone number, please contact me here on the blog, use the contact me button and do it via private e-mail. I will post his home address and telephone numbers with an shot of his house for all to see. Way I see it, you say stupid stuff like this; you forfeit your right to privacy.

Mike Malloy, you got this one coming, asshole. 😡
