The Feckless Far-Right: Exhibit F for Foot-in-Mouth

Posted on4 Comments

I am not going to be like the left and call Dr. Laura a racist. I do not know that to be a fact. However, I will say that she has a good knack for putting her foot in her mouth. It appears that Dr. Laura was trying to make a point; and in the process of making that point, used some language that is not acceptable in this “Politically Correct” World we live in today.

Via the Left’s Resident Carnival Barker:

Transcript:

SCHLESSINGER: Jade, welcome to the program.

CALLER: Hi, Dr. Laura.

SCHLESSINGER: Hi.

CALLER: I’m having an issue with my husband where I’m starting to grow very resentful of him. I’m black, and he’s white. We’ve been around some of his friends and family members who start making racist comments as if I’m not there or if I’m not black. And my husband ignores those comments, and it hurts my feelings. And he acts like —

SCHLESSINGER: Well, can you give me an example of a racist comment? ‘Cause sometimes people are hypersensitive. So tell me what’s — give me two good examples of racist comments.

CALLER: OK. Last night — good example — we had a neighbor come over, and this neighbor — when every time he comes over, it’s always a black comment. It’s, "Oh, well, how do you black people like doing this?" And, "Do black people really like doing that?" And for a long time, I would ignore it. But last night, I got to the point where it —

SCHLESSINGER: I don’t think that’s racist.

CALLER: Well, the stereotype —

SCHLESSINGER: I don’t think that’s racist. No, I think that —

CALLER: [unintelligible]

SCHLESSINGER: No, no, no. I think that’s — well, listen, without giving much thought, a lot of blacks voted for Obama simply ’cause he was half-black. Didn’t matter what he was gonna do in office, it was a black thing. You gotta know that. That’s not a surprise. Not everything that somebody says — we had friends over the other day; we got about 35 people here — the guys who were gonna start playing basketball. I was going to go out and play basketball. My bodyguard and my dear friend is a black man. And I said, "White men can’t jump; I want you on my team." That was racist? That was funny.

CALLER: How about the N-word? So, the N-word’s been thrown around —

SCHLESSINGER: Black guys use it all the time. Turn on HBO, listen to a black comic, and all you hear is nigger, nigger, nigger.

CALLER: That isn’t —

SCHLESSINGER: I don’t get it. If anybody without enough melanin says it, it’s a horrible thing; but when black people say it, it’s affectionate. It’s very confusing. Don’t hang up, I want to talk to you some more. Don’t go away.

I’m Dr. Laura Schlessinger. I’ll be right back.

and after the break, it got worse…:

SCHLESSINGER: I’m Dr. Laura Schlessinger, talking to Jade. What did you think about during the break, by the way?

CALLER: I was a little caught back by the N-word that you spewed out, I have to be honest with you. But my point is, race relations —

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, then I guess you don’t watch HBO or listen to any black comedians.

CALLER: But that doesn’t make it right. I mean, race is a [unintelligible] —

SCHLESSINGER: My dear, my dear —

CALLER: — since Obama’s been in office —

SCHLESSINGER: — the point I’m trying to make —

CALLER: — racism has come to another level that’s unacceptable.

SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. We’ve got a black man as president, and we have more complaining about racism than ever. I mean, I think that’s hilarious.

CALLER: But I think, honestly, because there’s more white people afraid of a black man taking over the nation.

SCHLESSINGER: They’re afraid.

CALLER: If you want to be honest about it [unintelligible]

SCHLESSINGER: Dear, they voted him in. Only 12 percent of the population’s black. Whites voted him in.

CALLER: It was the younger generation that did it. It wasn’t the older white people who did it.

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, OK.

CALLER: It was the younger generation —

SCHLESSINGER: All right. All right.

CALLER: — that did it.

SCHLESSINGER: Chip on your shoulder. I can’t do much about that.

CALLER: It’s not like that.

SCHLESSINGER: Yeah. I think you have too much sensitivity —

CALLER: So it’s OK to say "nigger"?

SCHLESSINGER: — and not enough sense of humor.

CALLER: It’s OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: It depends how it’s said.

CALLER: Is it OK to say that word? Is it ever OK to say that word?

SCHLESSINGER: It’s — it depends how it’s said. Black guys talking to each other seem to think it’s OK.

CALLER: But you’re not black. They’re not black. My husband is white.

SCHLESSINGER: Oh, I see. So, a word is restricted to race. Got it. Can’t do much about that.

CALLER: I can’t believe someone like you is on the radio spewing out the "nigger" word, and I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: I didn’t spew out the "nigger" word.

CALLER: You said, "Nigger, nigger, nigger."

SCHLESSINGER: Right, I said that’s what you hear.

CALLER: Everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: Yes, they did.

CALLER: I hope everybody heard it.

SCHLESSINGER: They did, and I’ll say it again —

CALLER: So what makes it OK for you to say the word?

SCHLESSINGER: — nigger, nigger, nigger is what you hear on HB —

CALLER: So what makes it —

SCHLESSINGER: Why don’t you let me finish a sentence?

CALLER: OK.

SCHLESSINGER: Don’t take things out of context. Don’t double N — NAACP me. Tape the —

CALLER: I know what the NAACP —

SCHLESSINGER: Leave them in context.

CALLER: I know what the N-word means and I know it came from a white person. And I know the white person made it bad.

SCHLESSINGER: All right. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Can’t have this argument. You know what? If you’re that hypersensitive about color and don’t have a sense of humor, don’t marry out of your race. If you’re going to marry out of your race, people are going to say, "OK, what do blacks think? What do whites think? What do Jews think? What do Catholics think?" Of course there isn’t a one-think per se. But in general there’s "think."

And what I just heard from Jade is a lot of what I hear from black-think — and it’s really distressing [sic] and disturbing. And to put it in its context, she said the N-word, and I said, on HBO, listening to black comics, you hear "nigger, nigger, nigger." I didn’t call anybody a nigger. Nice try, Jade. Actually, sucky try.

Need a sense of humor, sense of humor — and answer the question. When somebody says, "What do blacks think?" say, "This is what I think. This is what I read that if you take a poll the majority of blacks think this." Answer the question and discuss the issue. It’s like we can’t discuss anything without saying there’s -isms?

We have to be able to discuss these things. We’re people — goodness gracious me. Ah — hypersensitivity, OK, which is being bred by black activists. I really thought that once we had a black president, the attempt to demonize whites hating blacks would stop, but it seems to have grown, and I don’t get it. Yes, I do. It’s all about power. I do get it. It’s all about power and that’s sad because what should be in power is not power or righteousness to do good — that should be the greatest power.

For the record, she has apologized:

I talk every day about doing the right thing.  And yesterday, I did the wrong thing.

I didn’t intend to hurt people, but I did.  And that makes it the wrong thing to have done.

I was attempting to make a philosophical point, and I articulated the “n” word all the way out – more than one time.  And that was wrong.  I’ll say it again – that was wrong.

She goes on to say:

I ended up, I’m sure, with many of you losing the point I was trying to make, because you were shocked by the fact that I said the word.  I, myself, realized I had made a horrible mistake, and was so upset I could not finish the show.  I pulled myself off the air at the end of the hour.  I had to finish the hour, because 20 minutes of dead air doesn’t work.  I am very sorry.  And it just won’t happen again.

[….]

One last note –
The caller in question (her name is Jade), called for help from me, and didn’t get it, because we got embroiled in the “n” word, and I’m really sorry about that, because I’m here for only one reason and that’s to be helpful, so I hope Jade or somebody who knows her is listening, and hope she will call me back and I will try my best to be helpful, which is what she wanted from me in the first place and what she did not get.

I am willing to take that at face value. I do not know this woman personally; I will not call her something that I do not know her to be personally. She blew it, she admitted that. However, the racist baiting twits on the left will never be happy, until Dr. Laura and those who believe like her are off of the air for good.

I, as a libertarian-type of “Right of Center,” believe that any politician, who even has the remote thought of starting a war; ought to be strapped to a chair and FORCED to watch this video.

The Classless Left: Exhibit D for Death Wish

Posted on7 Comments

It seems that the liberal left just cannot get over its urges to engage into classless behavior.

As you all know, Senator Ted Stevens died in a plane crash yesterday. Well, leave it to the classless left to use a death of a Republican Senator to wish death on a Conservative Republican like…… you guessed it, Sarah Palin: (H/T The Politico)

Palin-Death-Wish[1]

Not to be outdone, Natch Greyes, a staffer for Democratic Rep. and Senate hopeful Paul Hodes tweeted the following on July 21st:

Palin-Death-Natch[1]

Now before any of you on the left say, “Well, the right does it too!” To that I say, “Yep, and when they do, I report it here.” Perfect example of which can be found here. Not only this; but there is this point too — I am not a Sarah Palin fan, at all. But there is just no call for this sort of hatemongering between the Parties. I mean, my God, are we all children or are we adults here?

I really think some people need to grow up and act their ages, instead of their shoe sizes.

Update: Oops! In my haste to get this Published, I forgot to mention that the N.H. GOP has condemned these remarks:

CONCORD – The New Hampshire Republican State Committee today denounced Democrat NH House candidate Keith Halloran’s public death wish for former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The Party also called on Governor John Lynch and Congressional Candidate Ann McLane Kuster to personally denounce his hateful remarks and call for him to apologize to the Palin family.

In a Facebook post yesterday regarding the tragic plane crash that killed former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, Halloran wrote, “Just wish Sarah and Levy [sic] were on board.” Levi Johnston is the father of Governor Palin’s grandson (RedHampshire, 8/11).

“Mr. Halloran’s outrageous comments are a new low, even by the standards of the New Hampshire Democrat Party,” said NHGOP Communications Director Ryan Williams. “His publicly stated death wish for Governor Palin and her family is abhorrent, and has no place in our public discourse. Governor Lynch and Ann McLane Kuster need to immediately denounce Mr. Halloran’s hateful remarks and demand that he personally apologize to the Palin family.

The Democrat Party needs to take a stand here and tell this guy to cool it or else.

Hell, after all that, I almost feel sorry for ol’ Obama… (Almost!)

Poor guy can’t do nothing right. If he tries to make the left happy, the right bitches; if he tries to make the right happy, the left bitches.

Why I left the Far-Right: Exhibit R for Racism

Posted on2 Comments

This popped into my Inbox from a friend…

I politely informed him that I did not think that it was funny.

Check out the racism imagery and how it is said that Joe Biden will become President.

But the Far-right says, “Oh, we’re not racist!”

Right……………….. 🙄

Watch:

Again, let me be clear. I DID NOT CREATE THIS, IT CAME FROM MY E-MAIL INBOX AND I WANTED TO EXPOSE IT!

I believe that Conservatives should STAND UP and condemn this sort of idiotic nonsense.

It is official: The Honeymoon between the liberal left and media and the White House is over

Posted on2 Comments

I knew this was coming…:

The White House is simmering with anger at criticism from liberals who say President Obama is more concerned with deal-making than ideological purity.

During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

The press secretary dismissed the “professional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”

Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

via White House unloads anger over criticism from ‘professional left’ – TheHill.com.

Um, Cue the music….Hit it Roy!

Okay, maybe that was bit cruel. But, hey this is what happens when you elect someone based upon personality and not based on the issues. But then again, President Obama does seem to have some awfully thin skin. I do not recall Clinton griping every time someone criticized him.

Either way, it is quite humorous to watch.

On Michelle Obama’s trip to Spain: Let me ask one question

Posted on5 Comments

Video via Mediaite:

Ed Morrissey Says:

The end of the world? Obviously not. Tone deaf? Absolutely. And it’s telling that this tone-deaf, Marie Antoinette moment comes from the administration that continues to play class warfare to expand government control over the most private aspects of American lives.

My question to Ed and rest of the Conservatives and Republicans is this; would this criticism be as howling loud, if the President’s skin was white? I somehow highly doubt it. For the record, I am not calling Ed Morrissey personally a racist; I just have some reservations about all of this howling over what Michelle Obama does. Yes, I know about the recession and the tone deafness and private sector intrusion. I just wonder, where were all these carnival barkers when Bush was bailing out the banks? Where were they when Bush was spending all of this money taking us into a war; that had zero to do with 9/11?

This is one of the reasons why I have been avoiding this story. Mainly because of the partisanship that is behind it. I am all for criticizing the President; when he actually does something that is worthy of criticism. However, I am just not interested in partaking in, what I like to call partisan carnival barking. This blog, unlike others, is not a partisan blog. I mean, when the President does something, that I feel is detrimental to America; by all means, I will criticize him, scream, holler and swing from the rafters if need be. (Okay, maybe I won’t do the swinging.. I am a bit heavy for that…) However, I just will not sit here and gripe about something that Bush could have and would have done. To me, that is just stupid.

I will say that the carnival does happen on the left too and yes, it is equally as dumb. I have been known to call it out on here as well. So, if you happen to see a story and I have not covered, this is most likely why.

Here it is: My official opinion on the New York Mosque that is being built near the 9/11 site

Posted on4 Comments

Two Blocks, four blocks, it does not damn matter…

Here is my opinion: (STRONG CONTENT WARNING!)

I saw the above video with the following comment under it:

“And we’re suppose to not think nothing of letting a Mosque to be built near ground zero. These people are really quite arrogant and cruel to us…and they have the gall to say we’re arrogant. The people who suffered because of 9/11 deserve to thought of better than this”

…Let me go on the record as saying….

That I totally and wholeheartedly agree. This is not about religious freedom, nor is it about hating Muslims or Islam. It is about protecting the memories of those who died on September 11, 2001; all 2,976 victims.

United We Stand, divided we fall.

In the name of the God — Do not let this happen.

Sarah Palin Quote of the Day

Posted on1 Comment

Now this is quite interesting to see:

We are awash in crises right now — crises that require smart and creative policy fixes. So why is somebody who so rarely deals in policy fixes so popular? It’s because Palin’s message operates on a level deeper than policy statements about the economy or financial reform or health care or the war in Afghanistan…

It’s not Palin’s positions people respond to — it’s her use of symbols. Mama grizzlies rearing up to protect their young? That’s straight out of Jung’s “collective unconscious” — the term Jung used to describe the part of the unconscious mind that, unlike the personal unconscious, is shared by all human beings, made up of archetypes, or, in Jung’s words, “universal images that have existed since the remotest times.” Unlike personal experiences, these archetypes are inherited, not acquired. They are “inborn forms… of perception and apprehension,” the “deposits of the constantly repeated experiences of humanity.”

This is the realm Palin is working in — I’m sure unintentionally — and it’s why she has connected so deeply with a large segment of the public. In fact, her evocation of mama grizzlies has a particularly resonant history in the collective unconscious. According to the Jungian Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism, “The bear has long fascinated mankind, partly because of its habit of hibernation, which may have served as a model of death and rebirth in human societies.”

…and who might be making that sort of a statement, this early in the game? No other than Arianna Huffington. Now AllahPundit says that its because she’s a hyper-partisan. But I suspect something a bit more. I suspect the liberals know that the man that they put in there is, like Jimmy Carter, has been, so far, is horrible failure. Also too; I read the article, and from what I was able to get out of it, the liberal Democrats are scared to death. They are worried because they know that they have no one to run against Obama in 2012.

Hillary you say? Forget it. Clinton’s defeat in 2008 was a wake up call for her. She’s basically finished with politics, once her term is up as Secretary of State; she is out of the political arena for good. I expect the Clinton’s will basically slip off into retirement and only come out once in a blue moon to support some candidate. I have it on good authority that the Clintons are not very happy with the new direction of the Democratic Party at all.

So, basically, what you are seeing here is a classic repeat of what happened in 2000 and 2004; and that is panic among the Liberal Democratic Party elite. Also too, it is a sounding of the alarm to try and make Palin look like a buffoon as much as possible. Which might work, although, I somehow think that the Liberal media is not really wanted to play anymore “Insider games.” With the Journalist scandal still being talked about in the Blogosphere and Conservatives being aware that the liberals were actually colluding together to shape a narrative. Liberal Media types might not be willing to play that game again. That again, is reason for panic among the liberal elite.

Which is basically a good reason to point out, that when you overreach into the media and you collude with others to bring someone down or push a narrative; and you get caught, you should not expect those players involved to want to do it again for you, ever. The sick and sad thing is, that the liberals never learn their lesson. They do this silly stuff over and over and over. Which is why the Republican Party easily trounces them in the elections.

 

Sorry, but, no one rescued me

Posted on1 Comment

I feel the need to write about this, but I am not. I am going to post a video reply.

Over at “The Other McCain”, I saw this headline:

EMERGENCY: SAVE STOGIE!

Aside from the “ZOMG! Eleventy!!!!” element to it. I didn’t think much of it. So, I went over and looked:

Home foreclosures are continuing at a brisk pace, according to an article by McClatchy News.   Many of the first foreclosures that began three years ago, when the housing bubble began to burst, were for subprime mortgages.  Now, however, a fresh batch of foreclosures is occurring because people have lost their jobs and can’t pay them.  I am now in that category.  I didn’t pay my July mortgage payment and probably will miss August as well.  I haven’t been answering the phone, which rings constantly from bill collectors.

Our savings kept us afloat for a year.  When it was gone, I borrowed the equity out of my life insurance.  That’s gone too.  We were hoping to ride out this recession, to survive until it was over.

This prompted a back and forth between me and Robert Stacy McCain:

Dammit, Pat, if you knew what a great guy Stogie is, you wouldn’t say useless crap like that. I was tempted to delete your comment, but I’ll leave it up, just to chastise your conscience when you see the testimonials to Stogie’s valiant character.

I’m sure he is a great guy. But nobody bailed my ass out when I was over 18 grand in the hole back in 2004. I filed for chapter 7 and started over.

I’m just sayin’…

Of course, McCain’s sock puppets came out in full force against me; which is of no surprise.

Here’s my video reply on the subject and my apologies in advance for the poor audio quality and picture:

That’s my opinion, and I welcome yours.

Support The American Conservative

Posted on

I will admit, I do not always agree with what I read at The American Conservative. However, I do believe in a diversity of thought and Ideas within the realm of Conservatism.

It appears that The American Conservative is having a Donation drive and is in need of financial support. Now, is The American Conservative a George W. Bush loving, flag waving Neo-Conservative publication? No, quite the opposite. In fact, check out this quote:

I agree with that, and if I could, I would be sending them the $20.000 they need to stay afloat. But, I am one of the people, suffering under the brutal leadership of the Democratic Party here in Detroit, Michigan. So, please, if you are able, donate to that fine publication, and help keep the voice of American Conservatism in print and on the internet.

Click here to Donate to the American Conservative.

Now, for the $100 question. Which am I? Neo or Paleo? Well, honestly, I am a bit of both. There are good and bad in both schools. Really, There are eleven different schools of Conservatism; they are:

I believe that all of these schools have good ideas and some bad. I believe that we as Conservatives should try and embrace all of the ideas within these different schools and try to work on a collation in the Conservative movement to run in opposition to the big Government ideas of the Democratic Party. The problem is, that people within Republican Party are more interested in party loyalty, than they are furthering the cause of Conservatism.

Having said all that, do what you can to help.

Open Message to Governor Tim Pawlenty: Please, Run in 2012

Man, I love this: (H/T HotAir)

Some of the commentators over at HotAir are saying that T-Paw does not have the “it” factor or that he’s not Sarah Palin. To that I say, thank God he is not all of those things. I want someone that will actually will lead this Country; not some washed up broad, who thinks she is entitled to be President, because she is a woman. (Hello Hillary!) Not someone who’s thinks he is entitled to be President, because he is some sort of a Millionaire or on some sort of Mormon Mission. (Hello Mittens!)

So, to Governor Tim Pawlenty: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, In the Name of the United States of America; the greatest Country on Earth: Please, Run for President of the United States! I will Blog for you, I will work on your campaign. Anything! You name it. We need someone who will actually lead! Without the rock-star stupidity.

We need someone like Governor Tim Pawlenty, and we need him now. Please, Tim, Run.

Local News: After 45 years, WXYZ-TV Chief meteorologist Jerry Hodak is retiring

Posted on

Another name in my life here in the Detroit Area is retiring. The BEST name in Weather in Detroit is retiring.

Jerry Hodak

Some Videos from WXYZ-TV:

and a much better and much longer video:

The Story Via WXYZ-TV:

After more than 45 years as Detroit’s trusted source for weather, WXYZ-TV Chief Meteorologist Jerry Hodak will retire from Detroit’s ABC affiliate in September.

Hodak, a native Detroiter, began his broadcasting career as a newscaster at WDET-FM at Wayne State University. He went on to report for WDBO-TV in Orlando, Florida and covered many of the early space launches from Cape Canaveral for the CBS radio and television networks.

He returned to Detroit in 1965 as a weathercaster for WJBK-TV. In 1977, he joined the WXYZ-TV family as a weathercaster and Science Editor. He currently appears on Action News at 5 p.m., 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.

“Jerry Hodak is synonymous with weather in Detroit and we will certainly miss his calming style, smooth approach and delivery,” said WXYZ-TV Vice-President and General Manager Ed Fernandez. “We in the WXYZ family are grateful for his years of service and dedication to WXYZ, the broadcast industry, and the viewers of Detroit. Jerry is a true professional who will be sorely missed for his gracious nature and his gentlemanly style inside the halls of Broadcast House. We wish him all the best as he makes this important decision for his life and begins to enjoy more time with his family and friends.”

I have been watching this man since I was a kid still living on the southwest side of Detroit. Jerry is the best. I could go on and on about his intelligence, his even-handed cool delivery and so on. He is one the best at what he does and I believe that Detroit, Michigan will be a poorer place because of it. However, Jerry knows when it is time to retire and let the new talent take over. Jerry is a part of what I like call the “Golden Age” at WXYZ-TV in the 1960’s, 1970’s and especially in the 1980’s, when I was watching as a kid.

Jerry Hodak - WXYZ-TV Chief meteorologist - Simply the best!

He will be truly missed. I truly wish Jerry a wonderful retirement. He has more than earned it.

You just did the same thing.  You are speculating about what could be wrong with him and making wild accusations but offering no proof whatsoever.  Don’t be such a hypocrite
If he is stark raving mad, then what are you when you use the same tactics?

First:

Second of all:

This is my damn blog and I will write about what I please; and if you really do not like it. You do not have to read here. There is not any law that says you have to.

Third of all:

The Mental Case - Andrew Sullivan

I am calling Andrew Sullivan crazy, because that is what he is…. damned crazy.The man calls himself a so-called “Conservative” all the while trashing a woman who is a Conservative Christian. This was not just one posting, but a entire books worth of pure crap. The man is crazy, and anyone who is worth their salt in Conservatism knows it. He is not a Conservative; but rather a Liberal posing as a Conservative. Some say he is a British Conservative; But I think it’s more of a mental problem than anything else.

Also, Hypocrisy? Hypocrisy??!?!?!? How’s this for Hypocrisy? — All during the election, the media went over Sarah Palin, her kids, her family; everything… with a fine tooth comb. But no ONE person in the lame stream media would dare say a cross word about President Barack Obama’s snooty-nosed brat kids, at all. Hell, even Chelsea Clinton was giving rougher treatment by the media, than President Obama’s kids! That is what I call hypocrisy!

So, don’t come here and leave stupid comments about me being a damned hypocrite, because I will just delete them. You want to be a cheerleader for the mentally and yes, morally depraved pieces human excrement’s like Andrew Sullivan, fine. Start your own damned blog and do so. Because it is not going to happen here; period.

Sickening: Video shows local deputy ranting against Christians

Posted on2 Comments

The Video:

Greg Hengler over at Townhall says:

Substitute these Christians with Mexican protesters and replace the anti-Christian opinions from the Sheriff’s Deputy with anti-Mexican ones. Would you not see this clip run for the umpteenth time on MSNBC and CNN today? I repeat the sentiments of our Commander in Chief: “The police acted stupidly.

The Story via KRQE-TV:

ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) – A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy was caught on video erupting with personal comments while escorting a religious group away from a recent concert.

BCSO Deputy Jim Goff is a veteran of the department and years away from retirement.

The religious group was protesting outside a Rob Zombie concert on July 17th at the Pavilion. Deputies were called to escort them out. Goff was among them.

The religious group recorded the entire ordeal and put it on YouTube. It started with Goff asking the protestors to leave the property but the group was not taking the orders well.

“This is private property, leave you can go or you can go to jail,” Goff said.

“It’s against my constitutional right, these people are free right here are fee to be out here? Why cant we,” said one protestor.

That’s when Goff got the crowd involved and asked what they wanted the group to do.

“You guys, do you want them to stay or go,” Goff said.

The protestors eventually started to leave as they continued preaching to the crowd and the deputies. Goff responded.

“There is only one way to heaven and that’s through Jesus Christ the Lord,” said a protestor.

“I am a non-believer, there is no God, there is no Jesus, there is no Satan,” Goff said.

Through all the shouting, arguing and antagonizing the other deputies kept their cool. Goff, however, had one more questionable comment.

“You must have a crush on me, man are you like a gay homosexual, you keep filming me,” Goff said.

The attacks against Christians and on the first amendment in the United States of America continue under the Obama Administration. Further proof that we are truly in the last days. Remember that folks. Remember that also come 2010 and 2012 and vote accordingly.

But, of course:

Sheriff Manny Gonzales called the deputy’s comments very inappropriate.

“I watched the video and it’s an edited version. We’re going to make a request from our internal affairs unit to get a full, a full copy so we can make the right responses,” Gonzales said.

The video is on at least three different websites including YouTube, where more than 7,000 viewers have already seen it.

Gonzales said he will not comment on if Goff will be reprimanded until they conduct a complete investigation.

The sheriff also said he did not know about the concert confrontation until News 13 called and asked about it.

In other words, he will be back to work today and nothing will happen. 😡

The Psychotic ramblings of Andrew Sullivan about Sarah Palin

Posted on4 Comments

The man is just plain crazy. Now why do I say this? This is why:

Because the people that were on that thing called the Journalist, decided that they would show some morals and NOT touch the Palin Trig false rumor:

Ezra Klein:

Seriously, folks? Best case scenario, what’s your outcome here: Her daughter, hounded by the tabloids, breaks down that it was her child, and her mother heroically took on the burden and welcomed the disabled boy as one of her own? Palin’s relationship with her children — however they may have come to her — strikes me as pretty far out of bounds. By all accounts she’s a wonderful mother, and devoted to her fifth son. Leave this be.

Katha Pollitt:

I like what you said about this possibly being a dirty trick, intended to blow up in our faces. so let’s just leave it alone…

Unlike Andrew Sullivan; these liberals actually had some morals, once again our favorite Faux Conservative  descends into madness:

Remember all those liberals and lefties huffily denouncing this blog’s attempts to make sense of Sarah Palin’s bizarre stories about the pregnancy and birth of her alleged fifth child? I was nuts, crazy, vile, disgusting, etc etc to indulge in what Dave Weigel, with no working knowledge of the story, calls “nonsense.” You may also recall that the liberal media didn’t touch this with a barge-pole  – and still hasn’t (apart from a NYT puff-piece that I found utterly credulous at the time). Newsweek has even put its entire reputation behind the details of the story as outlined in Going Rogue, without doing any independent reporting on the subject.

Well, we now know, that, for some at least, I wasn’t crazy. I was just not disciplined enough to curtail what this blog airs in order to conform with what many Journo-listers believed were the interests of the Obama campaign. Any delusions that Journo-List was not, in part, a collusory venture to shape the media narrative in ways to benefit Obama, above and beyond ferreting out the truth about any and all candidates, must now be abandoned. Ezra Klein has already been caught in a bald-faced lie about his discretion in picking members; and the notion that this was simply a water-cooler collection of journalistic thoughts is also belied by the emails now published by the Daily Caller.

One should say this, however: I have no way of knowing what the DC has omitted, and how it has shaped this information. The thread stops rather abruptly. Maybe there is context that adds to what we know. I do not trust in any way the ethics of the Daily Caller. Nonetheless, I was obviously not alone in those August days, when I was pilloried for saying out loud what the entire chattering class was saying in private.

[..]

If you want to know why the allegedly liberal media didn’t touch – and still won’t touch – this story, look no further. It has nothing to do with the facts, and everything to do with their politics. Notice the core modus operandi of the political operative, not the journalist. When dealing with a story: first ask yourself not if it is true but whether the outcome benefits your side. Second, write things in defense of this that you cannot possibly know. Palin a “wonderful mother”? How on earth did Klein know that?

[…]

This is your liberal media, ladies and gentlemen: totally partisan, interested in the truth only if it advances their agenda, and devoid of any balls whatsoever. And people wonder how this farce of a candidate now controls one major political party and could well be our next president. One reason is that we do not have a functioning adversarial media uncorrupted by partisan loyalty and tactics.

The man is totally insane. That is correct; I happen to believe that Andrew Sullivan is mentally unstable, should be considered a security risk and deported from the United States of American immediately back to Great Britain; where he can get the care he needs from the British nationalized heath-care system —– If that is even possible.

The reason why the Liberal media did not run with this story, is because there was not an ounce of truth to it. Because the is such a thing as journalistic standards. You simply do not report something that you cannot prove. You would think that Sullivan and his years of college education would have taught him that. However, I believe that this is a sign of something more deep. I believe it is sign that the man has an inbred hatred of Conservative Christians and more specifically women in general. I really wonder if the man was sexually abused as a child by a female family member of his or something. (His Mom?) Because this man’s unrelenting stalking and obsessing of Sarah Palin has been quite a disturbing things to watch, especially this long after the election.

Of course, we all know that Andrew Sullivan was already busted on drug charges for trying to buy pot, and should have been deported then. But because the man has connections, he was able to beat the deportation charge and is still in the Country. That, in itself, is a story there. However,  because Sullivan is well-connected within the liberal media, they would not touch the story. I believe this would be a good time for the liberal media to do its job, when it comes to Andrew Sullivan. However, Because I know that Andrew Sullivan is among the liberal elite, he will, as always, avoid the scrutiny that was placed upon Sarah Palin and the John McCain campaign.

Such a twisted world we live in.

Jeffery Lord should not be allowed to write for anyone ever again

Posted on

For writing absolutely asinine crap like this here. I agree with Charles Johnson, this story is just outright racist, wrong, and should be pulled.

Hell even Reason doesn’t like it, and when Reason says, “Whoa, wait a minute!”, then something is horribly wrong.

Not to mention AmSpec’s own people:

John Tobin writes in The American Spectator:

What on Earth is Jeffrey Lord talking about on the mainpage? He says that the sentence “Claude Screws lynched a black man” is untrue. Lynching is defined as an extrajudicial killing by a mob (which can be as few as two people). The fatal beating of Bobby Hall most certainly qualifies.

Philip Klein writes in The American Spectator:

I am rendered speechless by a 4,000-word article that is based around the suggestion that somebody is a liar for saying that a black man was lynched, when he was merely beaten to death by a white sheriff who evidence suggests had previously threatened to “get him.”

Here is hoping that AmSpec does the right thing and yanks this, now….

Hablando de pendejos!

There’s this guy:

Hablando de pendejos!

Director Oliver Stone belittled the Holocaust during a shocking interview with the Sunday Times today, claiming that America’s focus on the Jewish massacre was a product of the “Jewish domination of the media.”

The director also defended Hitler and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and railed against the “powerful lobby” of Jews in America.

Stone said that his upcoming Showtime documentary series “Secret History of America,” seeks to put Hitler and Communist dictator Joseph Stalin “in context.”

“Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support,” Stone told reporter Camilla Long during the interview, which can be found behind the paywall on the Sunday Times’ website.

Hitler in context. I just….wow. I have no words on this one. I really don’t. I’m just gobsmacked. I was not aware that Pat Buchanan was hard up for help. 😯

Walking it back a bit

Posted on2 Comments

As those of you who read this blog on a daily basis know, in a fit of anger the other day, I decided to tell the World that I was no longer a “Right of Center.”

I tend to say many things when I am ticked off.

Listen folks, I am an American.  I am also someone who believes that America is a great place and that we have it good here and last thing we need is a bunch of idiots from California, New York, and other such liberal bastions lousing it up for us.  They have already done this to a point, however, I believe that we can still reverse course and make things right, if we get the right leadership in the White House and in Congress.

Another point that I would like to make is this; Centrists, for all their good points also have issues as well. They tend to be accepting to far left socialism.  I just cannot find that acceptable, socialism and Democratic policy has been the ruin of many a good State; Michigan included.  I ought to know this, as I live only about 15 miles from Downtown Detroit.  Detroit, before the rise of black liberalism in the Detroit area, was an industrial Mecca, people came for all around the Country, just to get a good job in the auto plants.  What happened?  Well, if I were a partisan hack, I would simply blame the unions.  They are easy, but there is much more to it than this.  The international auto industry changed; and the big three here did not and as a result; the hiring days ended.

Now my statement about black liberalism is not a racist one, but rather a political one — simply put, black liberals just were not able to run this city like their white predecessors. Why was this?  Because of the identity politics of the city, this goes back to the first black mayor of Detroit.  The election of the first black Mayor of Detroit was widely seen as a defeat of the white Democratic power structure in Detroit.  Another reason was the corruption in the City of Detroit.  Mayor Coleman Young was the most corrupt Mayor ever.  The reason why he was never caught is that he was just that good.  Another reason is that it is believed that Mayor Young was bribing investigators as well.  Nothing says leave me alone better than a case full of money.  It does tend to work.

As I have said on this blog many times.  I will always tell you what I think; not what some partisan talking point says.  I will tell you what I, personally, think about politics and policy.  If I feel something is wrong, I will tell you about it.  If I like something, I will tell you that as well — Having said that, I personally believe that Andrew BreitBart is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being.  Andrew Breitbart knowingly released a video that portrayed a woman in a dishonest manner.  That, together with the things that this disgusting excuse for a Jew said about Ted Kennedy the DAY he died, just proved to me what sort of a vile, disgusting, piece of human excrement that this man really is.  Now, if anyone wants to play the Semite card because I brought up the fact that Breitbart is a Jew, feel free, I would give two flips about that, I would have said that about him if he were White, Black, or Latino. The issue here is not Breitbart’s Semite status, it is his morals; and quite bluntly, they suck.

Now as for my politics, I still consider myself a Classic Liberal, a libertarian-minded individual, a right of center, a Goldwater type;  someone who believes in the individual rather than the collective.  I am someone that believes that a person has the right to succeed and a right to fail.  I have not changed; I was simply angered by what I saw as an opportunist smearing someone to make a cheap political point.  There should be no place for that sort of nonsense in the discourse of politics; however, in this age of unfiltered new media it does happen.  The question is, will we as Bloggers, and Americans continue to give a platform to the vile disgusting likes of this morally depraved fool?  That is the question that all of us in this thing we call the Blogosphere should be asking ourselves this day — and not whether this woman is a socialist; of course she is, that really is not the point.  The point was, she was smeared as a racist and is not; THAT is the point my dear friends.  Until we can get to that place of realizing that, the Blogosphere of the right, will be seen as nothing more than a child’s playground and propaganda mill; and that my friends is the sad thing about this, it has destroyed us as a whole.

The real sick and sadistic part of this whole mess is this.  A little while back, the controversial Louis Farrakhan said that Jews have caused damage to blacks for years.  At the time, I thought that to be an outrageous statement, not to mention Anti-Semitic; now it seems that the people like Andrew Breitbart and many others on the right are trying their damnedest to prove Farrakhan right.  I think we as a whole, on the right, need to work on that little image very quick.  Because frankly at this point, we are giving people like Farrakhan and the many people on the left, that think like him; black, White, Latino, and whatever else, the talking point they need to further that “gospel” of hatred.

That is my opinion and I welcome yours.

The wages of the Far-Right: Exhibit BW: Byron Williams

Posted on1 Comment

This here, is what happens, when you allow Far-Right talk radio to continue on unregulated. (As in with no fairness doctrine)

The Story:

Byron Williams

Convicted felon Byron Williams loaded up his mother’s Toyota Tundra with guns, strapped on his body armor and headed to San Francisco late Saturday night with one thing in mind: to kill workers at the American Civil Liberties Union and an environmental foundation, prosecutors say.

Williams, an anti-government zealot on parole for bank robbery, had hoped to “start a revolution” with the bloodshed at the ACLU and the Tides Foundation in San Francisco, authorities said.

But before he made it to the city, Williams was stopped at early Sunday by California Highway Patrol officers for speeding and driving erratically on westbound Interstate 580 west of Grand Avenue in Oakland.

Police say he then initiated a chaotic, 12-minute gunbattle with officers, firing a 9mm handgun, a .308-caliber rifle and a shotgun. He reloaded his weapons when he ran out of ammunition and stopped only after officers shot him in areas of his body not covered by his bullet-resistant vest, authorities said.

via Alleged gunman says he wanted ‘a revolution’.


Do you think that the Far-Right Wing media is not just a little bit liable for this incident? I do.

A fairness doctrine would stop such stuff; and force broadcasters to employ a bit more responsibility.

Why I left the Right: Exhibit C for Conspiracy

Posted on1 Comment

As you already know there is a HUGE story about the USDA workers firing.

…and what is wing-nut Andrew Breitbart now saying, that he has been exposed?

Think Progress reports:

Two white farmers who were supposedly discriminated against by former USDA official Shirley Sherrod spoke out on her behalf yesterday, saying “no way in the world” is she racist.

But last night, the right-wing blogger who instigated this faux controversy questioned the white farmers’ honesty and repeated his false racist charges. In interviews with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and CNN, the Iron City, GA couple Roger and Eloise Spooner described Sherrod as a “friend for life” and a “good person” who helped save their farm. Speaking with CNN’s John King, right-wing provocateur Andrew Breitbart challenged Eloise Spooner’s “purported” story, accusing King of trusting Sherrod “that the ‘farmer’s wife’ is the farmer’s wife…

The complete interview can be found Here and Here. But the money part is this right here:

Transcript:

You tell me as a reporter how CNN put on a person today who purported to be the farmer’s wife? What did you do to find out whether or not that was the actual farmer’s wife? I mean, if you’re going to accuse me of a falsehood, tell me where you’ve confirmed that had this incident happened 24 years ago. […]

You’re going off of her word that the farmer’s wife is the farmer’s wife?

Yeah, like CNN or anyone else for the matter is going to grab someone off of the street and put them on a farm and tell them, presumably at gunpoint or whatever is in Andrew Breitbart’s mind; and force them to say they were helped by this woman. Andrew Breitbart has lost all credibility in this situation and is now spinning like a top and has crossed over into WorldNetDaily territory. In short, the man is basically trying to save face and is failing badly.

Just another reason why I left the right.
