Questions From A Concern Troll

I recently deleted a comment from a probably by now former reader, who then sent me a bunch of follow-up posts which Intense Debate didn't post to my blog, although I got the e-mail notifications for them. I decided I'd take the time to answer them, in the order in which I got them. The first comment, incidentally, the one that I deleted, was something about why did I never post about paganism, instead of my "stupid political beliefs", so I'll answer that one first.

Answer-I just post about whatever is on my mind at any given time. And frankly, you should bear in mind that pagans do have lives beyond rituals and spells. Many of us are politically active. Some of us are even socially active, believe it or not. We have girlfriends/boyfriends, children and other family members, friends from all walks of life and belief systems, jobs and careers, school, etc. We like to read, listen to music, watch television and movies. In short, there's really no reason for us to stand out in a crowd.

However, there's a grave misconception that pagans are all liberals and progressives, some maybe even socialists. While that is true of the majority, probably even the vast majority, there are more than you might think that are conservative, and there are quite a few who are libertarian.

I don't actually consider myself a straight down the line conservative, but I am a staunch Federalist, a believer in limitations on the power of the federal government to those powers enumerated by the constitution, and everything else should be the purview of the individual states. That's the way the founders intended it to be, and nothing has happened in all this time to warrant any kind of change in that regard, certainly without going through at least the Amendment process, or without holding a new constitutional convention.

As such, I consider myself a strict constructionist. You don't need a university educated professor or attorney to explain to you or to "interpret" what the constitution means. It means exactly what it says, with some allowances for changes in the definitions of certain words over the years, such as, uh, "regulated" as pertains to the Second Amendment. (A hint, it doesn't mean government control.)

Anyway, I feel I owe it to conservative and to an extent libertarian pagans to make sure I get the word out there, that we are not all America-hating, leftist, Christian bashing, big government control advocates or tree-hugging environmental freaks who want to fundamentally transform America into a European style quasi-socialist nanny state powered completely by wind turbines and solar panels.

Perhaps I should have explained this at the time instead of deleting his post with the cursory explanation that "there's no freedom of speech on my blog".

His reply-

Very American of you.

In fact, it is very American. The government does not have any legitimate authority to prevent me from engaging in any kind of speech, or of hearing it. However, I am under no obligation whatsoever to listen to it either, or to subject my readers to it, and I certainly am under no obligation to take abuse from anyone just because they personally find my views objectionable. You have the same right. If you don't like what I say on this blog, simply don't read it.

But really though, do you ever write about Paganism?

Very rarely. What's to write about? There's only so much you can write before you become repetitive. If you don't believe me, check out the myriad of books on the subject of Wicca, or this and that brand of paganism. Once you've read one book by Silver Ravenwolf or Scott Cunningham, you've pretty much covered the gamut of everything anybody else has or will write. There's only so many ways you can describe casting a circle that's going to be unique. I'd rather concentrate on doing something good as opposed to adding to the volume of pablum. On my sidebar, I have a two part series on the god Pan called "Pan-A God For All Nature's Children, Parts One and Two". It's listed, with some other posts, under the heading of "Ancient Rites And Rants (And Immortal Bullshit)". It's probably my most read post, so maybe I should do more of them. But really, if you're not feeling it, what's the point? I've also done some archaeological posts, for example another two-part series, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Revisited.

And there have been others, but really, here's another point. If I did post more about paganism, pagans would be the last ones who would like it, because well, let's say it definitely wouldn't be politically correct if I gave a true pagan perspective, that is to say as I see it, on some of let us say certain issues of the day. Note, I said MY true pagan perspective. To put it a tad bit more concisely, its one thing to exercise tolerance and acceptance of certain things, its another thing all together to act like its positive behavior or healthy and should be applauded, encouraged, or taught in public schools to innocent children. Do I really need to go further? And believe me, that's just one example. There could be many, many more.

And do you realize these Christian batshit insane candidates hate your religion?

So what? A lot of people hate things they don't understand. More than likely though, assuming they have an opinion about it at all, it amounts to pandering to one segment of their base, based on the assumption that they hate it.

In the meantime, a good many independents, and conservative Democrats especially, hate it as well, or at least are highly suspicious of it, which means if I were you, I wouldn't count on Democrat candidates doing a whole hell of a lot to make things any better for you. Oh, and by the way, the liberal Democrats? Well, most of them think you're full of shit. You don't really think they see you in a much better light than they do those knuckle-dragging superstitious Bible thumpers, do you? They might treat you a little better to your face, but they're still condescending. Just don't forget to go to the polls.

Doesn't matter what Republicanism stands for. These people, these individuals, hate Paganism.

This is a good one. All that matter, to this person, is paganism. Nothing else matters, and nothing any party or ideology might stand for matters. I think that's a pretty sad statement. A pagan shouldn't concern himself or herself with what policies a candidate or party fights for or promotes, we should base our votes solely on how they feel, allegedly, about pagans and paganism.

So Republicans allegedly hate, hate, hate, HATE Pagans and Paganism, so it shouldn't matter to me that Democrats want to tax and regulate me to death, and appoint judges that are going to whittle away every constitutional right I have, including the right to bear arms.

Got'cha.

That really speaks for itself, and doesn't really deserve a further response.

It's really pathetic that you think they don't.

Isn't it so great that liberals and progressives never paint their ideological opponents with a broad brush? They just don't believe in that, you see.

Rick Perry especially would like Paganism wiped out of America.

Oh, so I see there are varying degrees of anti-pagan bigotry, and Perry is allegedly at the forefront. So is it possible some of them don't actually hate pagans at all? No, silly me, of course not.

Would you convert if he asked you to?

Nope, not even if I was a Perry supporter. I'm actually a Palin supporter, and believe it or not, I wouldn't do it for her either. Or for anybody else.

I do have to cut guys like this some slack, because they actually believe, literally, that Republicans are out on a mission to destroy Paganism, or deny them their first amendment rights in some obscene, untoward, and even unconstitutional way. They are not, but you can't convince them otherwise.

So what are you going to do? Me, I think I'll light a candle and some incense and call out to Athene for more wisdom, because I do need more of it. Of course, it helps if you're open to it.

Bristol Palin Versus The Queen Of The Rodeo

This altercation between Bristol Palin and some homosexual at a bar would probably be blamed on Bristol, for approaching the guy to begin with, if the entire video hadn't captured the entire incident in context. Bristol was out with the film crew and staff of her new reality series. She took a turn on the mechanical bull, when the homo shouted "your mother's a whore" and "did you ride Levi like that" and something else equally stupid and banal. Bristol confronted the guy afterward and made him look like the stammering, spitting, bigoted fool most progressives really are deep down, and not so deep down.



My advice to the Queen of the Rodeo-It gets better. Who knows, maybe soon they'll invent a mechanical bull with a dick it can cram up your ass. Until such time, stay in the closet, fag. You're an embarrassment to the human species.

H/T Billy Hallowell of The Blaze

UPDATE-According to The Other McCain this jizz-gurgling faggot is a Trig-Truther who is a fan of Levi Johnston. Moreover, his name is Stephen Hanks and he owns a talent agency called Stephen Hanks Management Inc, and he represents Michael Vartan, who has appeared in the recently cancelled series "Hawthorne" with Jada Pinkett Smith. The number of the agency is 323-656-1884.

Not only does McCain have a picture of Hanks with Levi Johnston, a commenter produced his Lockerz account where he expresses his, uh, fondness for ol' Levi, who I'm sure reciprocates that fondness, in every possible way.

Herman Cain's Breakout Night

Without going into a lot of detail, I name Herman Cain the winner of tonight's Fox-Google debate in Orlando, Florida, with Rick Santorum coming in a close second.

But in all honesty, the person who will probably come out best in this debate is the man I put in the number three position, Mitt Romney.

I'd have to put Gingrich at fourth, Bachmann at fifth, and Perry at sixth. Rounding out the rest of the field, I put Paul at seventh, Huntsman eighth, and Gary Johnson at ninth for his debut debate performance.

The person who might have knocked the wind out of Perry's sails, maybe permanently, wasn't Bachmann or Mitt, but Santorum, who made it plain he wasn't letting Perry skate on his policy of subsidizing university educations for children of illegal immigrants when American citizens are obliged to pay the full amount. He was also as tough as you'd expect on foreign policy and social issues, not backing down from any challenges.

Still, I have to give the overall victory to Cain, who offered a compelling story of a stage four cancer survivor, who succinctly made the case that, had he been obliged to seek treatment under Obamacare, he would not be alive today. He also made a better case for his 9-9-9 Plan, and his advocacy for the "Chilean Model" retirement system.

Unfortunately, this is probably the last stand for Michelle Bachmann. She made a big mistake focusing on Perry, which she did to great effect during the last debate. Tonight it was expected. She would have been better advised to concentrate on Romney who, though he is in second place behind Perry in most recent polls, is still trending upward, gaining on Perry to within the margin of error in most of these polls.

But she did not focus on Romney, nor did anyone else, except Perry of course, and that is a big mistake. Mitt is sailing through while also leading the others in the charge on Perry. In doing so, Mitt is looking every inch like the leader he's trying to portray himself as. It's a smart strategy, because the way things stand, Mitt will regain front-runner status within the coming weeks.

Paul did an admirable job of explaining his position regarding the border fence "locking us in". Unfortunately, his explanation is inapplicable to the modern age of electronic wire transfers, a world where not even organized crime syndicates carry their cash in trunks across the borders. But at least his stand didn't sound quite as nutty.

Gary Johnson got probably the biggest laugh of the night when he said his neighbors two dogs had created more shovel ready jobs than had Obama. But let's face it, Johnson, Paul, and more than likely Huntsman are basically distractions, and I commend the good sense of Thad McCotter for recognizing the reality and ending his ill-advised bid.

I still hold out hope Palin will enter the fray. If she does, it will quickly evolve into a two person race between her and Mitt Romney. And the sooner all the others drop out, the sooner Sara turns Mitt into a two-time loser.

But for the time being, if just for this night, Herman Cain, and to a lesser extent Santorum, proved their mettle tonight.

Joe McGinness, Democrats, And Other Passive Aggressive Racists

Joe McGinness has written an allegedly tell-all book about the life and times of Sara Palin that is hard to take seriously as anything but a slander tome, but on the other hand, what if it is true? What if Sara Palin did have some kind of brief fling with a black college basketball star between twenty and thirty years ago? What if she, Todd and some friends really did snort coke in the woods from the bottom of an oil drum? What if she wasn't the best of mothers in the early days of her marriage, and was in fact such a lousy cook she could "burn water"?

The point seems to be, in part, that Sara Palin is a hypocrite, and we can't overlook the obvious inference that Republican conservatives, especially Christians and members of the Tea Party, should be especially aghast at such sordid tales of her past. Naturally, we might all want to rethink her standing in the movement, and by no means should we want her to be the standard bearer for the Republican Party in 2012. That much is pretty obvious.

Conservatives are of course up in arms over what they consider slander, and Robert Stacy McCain has gone to the point of posting a tongue-in-cheek drive for his readers to contribute to what he calls the Todd Palin Defense Fund, in the event Todd gives McGinness one, or more, maybe several well-deserved ass-whuppins.

It was a joke, of course, but that didn't prevent humorless liberals from disingenuously deeming it a serious threat. This was the reaction from such stalwart liberal sites as Slate, as well as penultimate Palin basher and Trig Truther Andrew Sullivan.

In reality, the Todd Palin Defense Fund was a cleverly and satirically disguised yet open call to contribute to SaraPac, which as the name implies is a PAC set up by Sara Palin to promote conservative causes, issues, and candidates.

Lost in all the hullabaloo is the question, who cares if all this is true? I for one could care less if Palin had an affair with Rice, the black college basketball player in question, or a one night stand, or for that matter ten minutes in a locked stall in a public bathroom. As for the cocaine use, how is that different from Obama's own admitted use of cocaine and marijuana?

Liberals would answer that it demonstrates that Palin is a hypocrite, but that is true only if these things are on-going. Anybody can change their lifestyle, and adopt a set of values that are a complete turnaround from their old life. All that proves is that they have grown up and matured, and want to live a more positive life. Being married and having children tend to do that to people, at least in some cases, especially if you come to realize your old lifestyle amounted to a road to nowhere.

McGinness and his defenders say more about themselves than they do the Tea Party or for that matter about Palin. Why should they assume conservatives should be so up in arms at the idea Palin might have had a brief fling with a black man? This is the most obvious sign of racist projection I have ever seen, and for Democrats that's saying something.

This is a party that promoted and defended slavery, and then Jim Crow, and who to this day think of the black race as a group of people who are so inferior they require the beneficence of the federal government to protect them and even to support them. Taken to its natural extreme, it won't be long before the feds start sending government employees out to all the government housing projects to cook their meals, clean their houses, and wash their clothes, with the taxpayer picking up the tab.

On the other hand, suppose some conservatives are offended at the alleged relationship between Palin and Rice. How does it follow they would vote for a man who is the product of a mixed race relationship? A man whose mother was a noted white commie bitch, and whose father was a black commie Muslim. A man who has been mentored by commies and anarchists all his life and who has the audacity to hope that he can fundamentally transform America into what would possibly amount to a third world commie hell hole if he could have his way, or at the very best, a second rate quasi-socialist European style nanny-state.

I don't know about anybody else, but methinks I'll stick with the white chick in this case. Ironically, if Palin does decide to run, and wins the Republican nomination, she might have Joe McGinness to thank for netting her an extra three or four percent of the black vote over and above the roughly ten percent that typically vote Republican.

You know. The ones Democrats insist are "Uncle Toms". You see, back in the old days, Democrats used to force black folks in the South to vote Democrat. Then, they threatened them with the rope and the whip.

Now they merely bribe them with welfare, food stamps, drugs, and rat infested tenements while making sure the general black population is disarmed and at the relative mercy of black thug gangs, and by ratcheting up the rhetoric to make it impossible for big city police departments to do their jobs in such a way as might interfere with this national protection racket. All the while of course making sure black folks understand they just can't make it in life without the "help" of Democrats and their appointed straw bosses and house Negroes. You know, like Obama.

No, Democrats sure don't mind fucking black people. They've been doing that for going on two hundred years. Here for the last forty years or so, they've just been kissing them first.

Promised Land

It finally occurred to me there may have been a rhyme and a reason for Obama's Israeli policy all this time. It goes something like this-Let's help the Palestinians, Iran, and radical Islamic groups wipe Israel off the map. If we move slowly but steadily, not only can we curry favor with the Arab street, we can blame it on Bush, Republicans, and Christian conservatives as we can bring all the Israeli survivors to America where they really belong, to join in with all the other Jews who typically vote Democratic by a margin of almost three to one.

Ah, but last night, with the election of Bob Turner to the Congressional seat formerly held by Geraldine Ferraro, Chuckie Schumer, and Anthony Weiner, a seat which has been solidly Democratic since 1923, it might be a sign of a kind of change the Obama Administration had never foreseen. Especially since it wasn't even close. Republican Turner beat Democrat David Weprin by something like 54 to 46 percent.

A clear message not only to Obama, but to the Democratic Party in general which has taken the Jewish vote for granted for far too long. What could this mean?



It was more than just a Jewish backlash, of course, there was also outright dissatisfaction with Obama's handling of the economy. Turner in fact made the election more about Obama than he made it about Weprin, whom at last accounting had not only not conceded the race, but was seemingly in hiding.

But that hasn't prevented other Democrats, such as Rep. Lynn Wolsey of California, from doubling down on the stupid.

Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.) stressed that it was important for Democrats to not cave in on pieces of either Obama’s jobs plan or the [Congressional Progressive Caucus's] job-creation agenda.
“Half a loaf is not enough in the United States of America,” Woolsey said. “The whole proposal is what we must have now.”

Not only are independents and conservative Democrats becoming wide awake to the dangers posed by this renegade regime and its communist infiltrated political party, but so are interest groups that were formerly reliable Democrat votes. The following video by Ladd Ellinger is an example of the anger of a growing number of Jewish voters towards the Democrat regime.



Another special election for a seat in the House of Representatives election was won by the Republicans last night as well, this one in Nevada.

A commenter on another blog summed it up best-

SOB's-2 HOFFA-0

And this might be just the beginning. With this election last night, New York might possibly have come into play for the general election.

The Aftermath Of 9/11-How Did It Change Us?

The attacks of September 11, 2001, changed us in ways we never could have ever foreseen. But did it really change us that much? Yes and no.

In the immediate aftermath, we all joined hands as a nation. We were solidly united, for an all too brief period. Democrat and Republican leaders joined hands on the steps of the Capitol in a show of unity and solidarity, in an attempt to instill hope and to encourage us as a nation to pull together, to overcome the tragedy, and to move towards justice, yes, but also healing. The eyes of the world were on us, and it seemed like almost everyone was in our corner.

It didn't last.

Some people say we lost our innocence as a nation that day. That was a lie. We as a nation lost our innocence on the day we signed the Constitution. Within that document was embedded the compromise that allowed slavery. It was a necessary compromise at the time, one that could not be avoided. We eventually abolished slavery by means of the amendment process embedded in the same constitution that allowed the institution of slavery. It took two thirds of a century and a bloody, divisive war, but we ended it. We made things right. But we were not innocent.

And then we lived for another century with the shame of Jim Crow. We ended that as well, finally. We made that right, and are still making it right. But we are not innocent.

We sat silently as Andrew Jackson, the President we now honor on the twenty dollar bill, conducted the brutal savagery against the Cherokee Indians known as the Trail of Tears. We have yet to make that right, though we have tried. We have not yet come close to healing that wound. We are not innocent.

And even today, there is the on-going brutal holocaust of abortion, with untold millions of innocent babies snuffed out in the wombs of the mothers that should nurture and protect them, a happenstance that we have allowed through some misguided notion of privacy rights and individual liberty. There are those who fight valiantly to make the wrong right.

Throughout all of these, and other wrongs, we debated and fought, and tried to make things right. And we did make things right when we could. We will always strive to make things right. That is our nature as a people, as a country. But sometimes, in trying to help, in trying to do the right thing, we still sometimes make mistakes and do the wrong thing. We are not a bad people, or an evil nation, quite the contrary. We are the greatest people, and nation, on the face of the earth, in all of history. But we are not perfect. We are not innocent.

We have tried to right all of our wrongs, to the best of our abilities, though seldom united even during those times when we agreed there must be change, we would still debate over the best way to bring about that change.

But when all is said and done, the Constitution, with its Bill of Rights, despite its original inherent flaws, is the greatest document of liberty the world has ever produced, or is likely to ever produce.

We have saved the world, at least three times over. We have a spirit that we have, instilled from our beginnings, an inherited culture that speaks to a deep rooted desire to make the world a better place, a free place, where all people can be free from tyranny, can be free to pursue their dreams, where people live and raise their families and instill in them those same values-the desire to make the world a little bit better for the next generation than it was for ourselves.

That may have all changed. A lot may have changed. But let's not delude ourselves into thinking we were ever innocent.

What we are is a hopeful people, a good people, with values and morals, and a love for liberty. At least, that's what we have been.

But we have also been a divided nation. That is the inherent nature of a constitutional republic such as ours. All too often, we have glossed over our differences. We felt we could always come to an agreement eventually. A compromise. We could always work things out, some way or another.

That's what 9/11 changed. We no longer have the capacity for working things out, for compromise. 9/11 was a wound to the heart, mind, and spirit, and the wound is still raw and sore.

Instead of uniting us, 9/11 has if anything heightened our divisions. Now we notice them more and more, on matters that at one time we would have deemed unimportant, inconsequential. Now we see, maybe they weren't so simple, or minor, after all.

More and more now, Americans have started to solidify their differences.

The left now sees they aren't going to be able to gradually phase in their socialistic visions for the future of America. Where once the resistance was small though sturdy, that resistance has over the course of the last decade grown larger, stronger, and much more intense. The left has responded by becoming ever more agitated, ever more determined, ever more abusive in its hateful rhetoric.

The right now sees they can not compromise with those who want to change the nature of their country. And so they too have become ever more determined, ever more strident in their opposition to the left's manipulations and provocations.

The ruling elites, for their part, have gradually started to realize they can not take the gullibility of the American people for granted. It's no longer good enough to talk the talk. The minute they are honored with an elective office, they are expected to walk the walk. Some have adapted with more or less varying degrees of grace and sincerity, in the face of constant derision and berating, sometimes downright hostility, not from followers of the opposition party so much as from their own constituencies. They know the people are sick of the status quo, and when they see fresh faces from main street mingling with the good old boys (and girls) from the Ivy League and legal profession, they know they are in the midst of a sea change that could easily wash them away like yesterday's tide.

And the media, which once leisurely supported the ruling class by fiat, all the while pretending to be objective and non-partisan, while in reality being anything but that, is now faced with the dilemma of their own growing irrelevancy.

Even our gods and goddesses of the entertainment world are feeling the pressure, the glaring light and withering heat of derision, as more and more of them start to wonder why films that once would have been box office hits are avoided in droves.

It is a brave now world of anger, outrage, and despair. Yet, it is also a world of hope for the future. And it is up to all of us as to which one will eventually prevail. Do we have the patience, the intestinal fortitude, to see it through to the end? Or will we eventually give up hope, return to the status quo? The elites hope we eventually do just that. I hope we do not.

That, my friends, is the true legacy of 9/11.

Ironically, it might well prove to be the best damn thing that ever happened to us.

But one thing we can never do is sit on the sidelines and hope for the best.

Those days are gone forever.

Remember

Courtney from GrEaT sAtAnS gIrLfRiEnD will never let you down. Leave it to her to find the perfect feminine expression of the shock, despair, and grief of 9/11.

No Words

Smitty from The Other McCain has the perfect instrumental song in commemoration of 9/11. I say perfect because the song, called Ten Words by Joe Satriani, is actually an instrumental track with no words at all. Just Joe's feelings about the events of 9/11 aa expressed through his guitar virtuosity.



When you stop to think about it, words just do not suffice.

Bush At Ground Zero

Who could ever forget this.

Blow Job Billy, Say What You Will, The Man Can Give A Speech

He actually made this speech yesterday at the Shanksville Pennsylvania Memorial, in honor of those brave airline passengers who overpowered the Muslim hijackers and in doing so probably saved the Capitol on 9/11. They lost their lives in the attempt when the plane crashed into a field in Cranksville. President Bush spoke first, and it is said to be a very moving speech as well (I haven't heard it yet).

But I wanted to bring your attention to Clinton's speech, very likely the best one of his life, as he compares the heroic passengers, all private citizens, to the Spartan Army of Thermopylae, and to the heroes of The Alamo. Men who knew they were going to die, but who willingly sacrificed themselves for the sake of their loved ones, and their country.

The heroes here did the same thing with very little time to prepare, and Clinton expresses his hopes that 2500 years from now, people will remember them as well. Very moving.

How Muslims Around The World Commemorate The Ten Year Anniversary Of 9/11

Zilla Of The Resistance has video of the burning of the American flag by Muslims savages outside the US Embassy in London. She also relays the account of how members of the EDL were attacked with knives by these same Islamic swine. And yeah, yeah, I know the EDL are supposed to be right-wing fascists. Remind me to give a shit when they fly a plane into one of our buildings, just don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Bottom line, whatever you think about groups like the EDL, their existence is made possible by the tendency of corrupt, weak, and dhimmi minded politicians to appease the fanatical swine by allowing the shit you can see in the following video.

The Unthinkable And The Unforgivable

Paul Krugman is not the only asshole leftist who disrespects the memory of 9/11, though he might be the most renowned of this group of jackals. Smitty at The Other McCain provides a screenshot of the post, if you can stomach to look at it. Theo Spark has a post at American Power Blog of an assorted collection of assholes. I didn't want to post anything about these kinds of people today, because I didn't want to give them a forum. All of them including Krugman are deserving of obscurity. But then I realized what I've always known. These people are a part of our society, and unfortunately they aren't going to go away whether we ignore them or not. They deserve our derision. Amazingly, in many cases they might actually be a lower order of scumbags than the Islamic savages who actually carried out the attacks.

9/11 Jumpers At The World Trade Center

This video is courtesy of Moonbattery. As shocking as the images of the planes smashing into the buildings followed by their demise was, the rarely seen images of actual human beings jumping to their deaths to avoid the intense heat of a fiery death really brings the human aspect into focus.

Celtic Battle Music

I got this from Theo Spark. It's a pictorial art montage of 9/11 images, set to the music of ancient Celtic battle music. It was supposedly played before a battle as a means of instilling courage, and concentrating focus on the task at hand, and perhaps most importantly of reminding the warrior about his duty to his tribe and his loved ones.

Remember Who The Enemy Is

Robert Stacy McCain reminds us who they are, and how they openly declared themselves, jubilantly and ecstatically, on the day thousands of Americans lost their lives through the capricious artifice of a barbaric system which is as much a militant political ideology as it is a religion.

The MSNBC GOP Presidential Show Trial-Er, Debate

Michelle Malkin tells you pretty much all you need to know about the MSNBC televised GOP Presidential debate held last night at the Reagan Library in California.

But since she doesn't believe in picking winners and losers, I'll add my two cents in that regard.

Winner-Michelle Bachmann. Hands down the best of the bunch last night. I say that not because I am in her corner, though I would definitely have zero problem voting for her, its just a fact. I found it instructive, and you might as well, that the post-debate analysts on MSNBC all to a person shrugged off her appearance and declared she was on the way to being a third tier candidate, and for that matter probably on the way out.

Yet, Bachmann was the only one of the night who had absolutely no missteps, made no mistakes, suffered not from foot in mouth distress, and yet who nevertheless did not back down in any way, shape, form or fashion from her core values and beliefs. She was stern, intense, solid, and serious, and somehow managed to convey this, along with a grasp of facts and knowledge, without coming across as humorless or fanatical. She also thankfully avoided the stump speech applause lines. She has shown signs of adaptability and growth, fine qualities for a presidential candidate.

No wonder the left-wing bozos from PMSNBC want her gone.

Mitt Romney-A fairly close second to Michelle, but not by a razor thin margin. He didn't stumble, didn't hurt himself, but at the same time his answers were predictable. He may have even helped himself to a degree with the conservative base of the party regarding RomneyCare, and his heartfelt beliefs in small limited government, but he still has some ground to cover, even though he did deliver a believable explanation as to why Democrat infested Massachusetts is quite different from Texas.

Newt Gingrich-Third place, not that it matters. But he served as the traffic cop of the night, belittling the attempts by Brian Williams and the Politico representative to turn the night into the Romney-Perry Show, as well as their obvious efforts to set the entire field at each others throats.

Steve Perry-Came in a disappointing fourth, in my opinion. He seemed ill at ease, and at times one got the impression he was trying very hard to control his anger. However, I must admit his response to Brian Williams attempt to portray him as heartless because of his support of the death penalty was top-notch.

In fact, Perry got the biggest applause of the night before he ever answered Williams' question as to "how do you sleep at night" (over Texas' death penalty record). When Williams expounded on the record, the crowd burst into applause, to Williams' chagrin. Perry seemed to seethe as he relayed his answer, pretty much to the effect that he and most Americans were fine with the death penalty. As he gave examples of those who deserved the ultimate punishment, his eyes seemed to bore into Williams with laser-like intensity.

Cain I would have to put at fifth, basically because he seemed rushed and hurried what very little time he had the floor. His answers were good, but he seemed frustrated at the lack of opportunity to expound further. His lack of patience is certainly understandable, but it still didn't help him.

Santorum, sixth place, likewise gave some good answers, but they were unlikely to be convincing ones.

Ron Paul comes in at seventh based primarily on his worth as comic relief. He did get in a good dig at Perry over the Gardasil debacle. Otherwise, it was the usual Ron Paul stand-up routine. Unbelievable, he decried the Mexican border fence for a reason I doubt anyone else might have ever considered. It might not be meant to keep Mexicans out so much as it might be meant to keep all of us in.

Because we might want to run off to______?

But by far the prize for overall boob of the night would have to go to last place finisher Jon Huntsman, the former Utah Governor and Ambassador to China who insists he is a solid conservative, despite the fact that he supports gay civil unions and is an unabashed believer in anthropogenic Global Climate Change.

He tried to sidestep attempts by the nights leftist moderators to identify who on the stage was in his opinion the biggest among the various right-wing loons, but the left's favorite Republican was put off his game. He said that in order for Republicans to win, they had to have somebody who would say they believe in what the majority of Americans supposedly believe, someone who could reach out to Democrats and Independents as well as Republicans. Yes, he actually said that. Apparently, you should either believe the way Huntsman believes, or if you do not, you should say you do anyway. Or maybe you should just shut up about it. In effect, he's the first candidate I've ever seen who's campaign commercials might seriously and legitimately begin, or end, with "I'm Jon Huntsman, and I approve this message. Because I'm going to tell you exactly what you want to hear."

Perhaps the biggest news of the night? The leftist hacks of MSNBC were so disgusted by his performance they declared his candidacy over in practically the same breath they doomed Bachmann's to the dustbin of irrelevancy.

But let's be crystal clear about one thing. This was not really a debate. This was a leftist media show trial.

Escape From The Shackles Of The Mind, Heart, And Soul

Lemuel Calhoun at Hillbilly White Trash has pulled out a real gem from the pages of American Thinker, one that says all you need to know about the historical attitude of the Democratic Party towards African Americans, and their resultant treatment and expectations of them. As is the case with most sociopaths, to the Democrats black people (and everyone else for that matter) exist for their benefit. The second that any any of them ever dare attempt to leave the plantation, Democrats show their true colors. The poster below is a modern day satire of the modern day attempts to keep black folks in line, just like they would go all out to recapture slaves from the antebellum South who tried to run off to the North, and to freedom, via the Underground Railroad.

Democrats of today of course act incensed at such accusations, insisting that blacks like Clarence Thomas, Herman Cain, Allen West, and others act against their own best interests and those of blacks in general.

Liberals would undoubtedly point out that the vast majority of African Americans vote Democratic, and this is true. About ninety percent of them typically vote Democrat (out of the ones that vote), while more like ninety five percent voted for Obama.

But what they don't realize is this was true throughout the Jim Crow era. Like today, blacks in the Jim Crow, Democrat dominated South, felt they had no other choice.

It should also be pointed out that the many freedom-yearning blacks of the old southern slave states who dared to try to escape on the underground railroad probably likewise made up a very small percentage of the general population, most of whom were either content to remain as slaves, or afraid to try to achieve freedom. To be raised in shackles and chains and inculcated with a belief that you are inferior by reason of your birth and race has to have a debilitating effect on your outlook. How can you accept such a station in life without being filled with self-loathing and an overall feeling of worthlessness. How would you even cope if you suddenly were free?

Its probably no accident that black conservatives tend to be self-supporting as opposed to dependent on government support. Even those who may have gotten a hand up at one time, to attend school or other reasons, tended to not engage in a continuous lifestyle of government handouts. For the most part, they are not involved with drugs or gang violence. They might not all be renowned albeit controversial jurists, successful politicians, or millionaire businessmen and CEOs, but they do show a marked ability to achieve and maintain a lifetime of success.

Why in the hell would they want to go back willingly to a system that promises them a subsistence level income and an attitude that suggests they just can't make it without government help, which is instilled daily in their neighborhoods, churches, and schools?

Wild horses couldn't drag them back to that world. They have too much self-respect to live that way, and too much integrity to join the ranks of the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons in helping to force it on their own people.

That is exactly why they are the objects of scorn and derision, and even outright hatred, by the liberal Democratic elites, and even by their own people. It is an intensity of dislike born out of fear. In the case of their own people, it is a fear of the unknown, much the same as black slaves held in loathing those escaping slaves who felt they had made it harder on all of them. They would have probably willingly doled out a brutal punishment against any recaptured slave for much the same reason. To prove their loyalty, and their "worth".

As for the Democrats, those limousine liberals who have kept blacks in line for all these decades, the escaping African American conservative represents a dire threat to their power and supremacy over their political and societal plantation system. This is especially true should they achieve success in the world. They represent a way out, an escape from the slavery from which far too many black families have truly never been free.

Happy All (Non-Union) Workers Day

Labor Day isn't just for union workers, or shouldn't be. Here's an ad, starring Vincent Curatola (The Sopranos) from a couple of years back, made in opposition to Card Check-an attempt to eliminate the secret ballot in union elections. Vince, who played New York mob boss Johnny Sack on The Sopranos, is a conservative, and an enthusiastic supporter of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. As a born and raised New Jersey native, Curatola is well familiar with both the unintended and not so unintended consequences of union domination of a state's work force as pertains to the economy and general business climate. To say nothing of the overall corruption that follows along in its wake and infests the entirety of both the political and the societal culture.



The ad actually related the prevailing national mood and opinion, but it served to bring to light the dangers of such attempts at manipulation of work place rules by Big Labor and its political henchmen. Attempts to ram such legislation through Congress met with a well-deserved fate-utter, dismal failure.

Unfortunately, that's not the end of it. As with so many other things supported by Democrats, and this traitorous, unconstitutional, dictatorial Obama Administration, what they can't achieve through the front door of legislation, or through the back door of the court system, they'll gladly and maliciously impose anyway through the bureaucratic window of government agency regulation.

In this case the National Labor Relations Board is mandating an end to the secret ballot in the workplace. Just like they have refused Boeing, a private company, permission to open an entirely new plant (not move an old one, mind, but open a new one) in a right-to-work state.

Do me a favor, businessmen, employers, and entrepreneurs of America. Sit on your money for a year or two longer. Or if it takes that long, for another five or six, hell however long it takes. It's your money, its your company. Your business does not belong to the state, or to "the people". Its your money, your business, your property. Repeat-sit on it. I mean that in a friendly way, of course.

As for me, I won't buy one single product produced by union labor, unless its an absolute necessity. (Well, except for Coca-Cola. Not even I am that much of a fanatic). And if it gets right down to it, I'll even buy from CITGO, or worse, from companies owned by fundamentalist Muslims.

Hell, half of what I buy now I buy from the Chinese. Might as well double down on the spite.

Slavery-It's No Game

Over on Belchspeak I found out about a supposed new game. It's called Slavery-The Game



Most people tend to think its a fake, but the video posted under the name of JavelinReds has already gone viral. Naturally, it is controversial. But this is certainly understandable. The institution of slavery itself is no joke.

American slavery might well be, sadly, the most successful enterprise ever undertaken by the Democratic Party. And it is ongoing to this day. Democrats continued the institution by way of Jim Crow laws in the American South, well past the time it was legally abolished. The Democrats used segregation and other brutal tactics-for example, their terrorist, militant wing known as the Ku Klux Klan-to keep African Americans under subjugation for close to a century after the Civil War. When that sorry episode ran its course, they hijacked the nascent Civil Rights Movement, whereupon the little sharecroppers shacks were replaced by subsidized housing, welfare, food stamps, gun control laws, street gangs, and hard drugs. Oh, and of course, the promise of single parent families as ever increasing numbers of black males were shuffled off to prison. And then of course, abortion, which serves to keep the numbers of African Americans low, and manageable.

Today we see the long-term results of the Great Society. And under Barak Hussein Obama, the first bi-racial President that we know of, the black unemployment rate is double the national average. On the other hand, that is no surprise. While touted as the first African American President, Barak Obama is not truly African American by descent. He is half white, and half black of African immigrant descent, so in a way yes technically he is an "African American". But in reality, he is descended from a man whose white mother's ancestors owned slaves, and from a man who's Kenyan ancestors very possibly sold them. His only other connections to the hardships of being a black American is tenuous at best. He supposedly was passed up by a taxi cab on a number of occasions, and assumed without proof it was because he was black. He also had a white girlfriend, and she broke up with him for unspecified reasons.

Otherwise, his life is in no way typical of the black experience. How could it be? Obama is, it can't be stated too often, not descended from any past slave in America. On top of that, he was given every opportunity to advance and excel, and there is more than a little reason to believe that he was cut a lot of slack in regards to his scholastic performance. Of course, he had many backers among the university intelligentsia, just another episode in a long line of Marxist mentors.

And now he is President of the United States, and having had no experience of ever really facing any kind of credible, substantial opposition, without ever having been thoroughly vetted, after years of being propped up, idolized, and propagandized by the political and social elites and the media, the little straw boss that is Barak Hussein Obama is unable to cope with true criticism, opposition, and defeat.

But its more than his lack of experience at these matters which is the problem here. The real problem is, Barak Hussein Obama is not his own man. He is not the master of his ship. He is still down in the lower deck of the slave ship, bound by invisible chains. Those chains are not physical bonds, of course, they are mental and emotional ones imposed throughout his lifetime by the leftist hacks who have used him like a trained seal.

Its sad that the first "African-American" President had to be a Democrat. It was an iron-clad guarantee that he would be, and in fact is, no more than a highly polished and refined House Negro at best, and at worse, the Democratic Party's White House Lawn Jockey.

Slavery-The Game might well be a fake. But Slavery-The Institution is still alive and well.

If A Bear Shits In The Woods-Hell You Might Know The Guy

When the US Fish and Wildlife Service isn't busy protecting foreign jobs at the expense of non-unionized American jobs, they can be found in almost any part of the country, doing due diligence to protect hapless wild animals from the malicious encroachment into their territories by predatory human beings.

Sometimes, unfortunately, since they can't be everywhere at once (for now), bad things happen. And when it does, it falls on their shoulders to try to make matters right in the pursuit of justice for our furry cousins.

Take the recent case in Idaho, where a man saw a female grizzly and two of her cubs on his property. Fearing for the safety of his children, and his livestock, the man killed the bear (it is also being reported by some that he also killed the cubs), at which point he immediately called Fish And Wildlife-who promptly arrested him and are in the process of potentially preparing charges against him.

His neighbors in Boundary County have been overwhelmingly supportive of the man, helping to raise money for his defense. So heavily attended was his arraignment in Couer D'Elene they had to move the hearing to a larger courtroom. If convicted, he could spend a year in prison and have to pay as much as a fifty thousand dollar fine.

All because he didn't want his children to end up like the following two hikers. Understandable. Imagine the image of this happening to one of your children in front of your eyes, seared into your brain.

Or hey, how's about this?

Now suppose this happens to you and you lose a loved one to a bear in this manner. How are you going to vote in the next election, Democrat or Republican? Yes, it is a political issue, and will remain so for as long as the Democrat Party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the radical environmental movement. I've posted previously on how this crew has run roughshod over Kentucky law, making it illegal to hunt bear only outside of one day out of the year (a time of year when you're highly unlikely to find any bears, seeing as how they hibernate during the winter), and further limiting the type of weapon that can be used. You know, just to make it fair to the bear. And make no mistake, you can't kill a bear in Kentucky either, even if it gets on your property. Hell, even if it tries to break into your house. That wouldn't be fair either, I guess.

If you ended up like this victim of an Alaskan polar bear, would you think it was fair?

Poor guy, I guess he shouldn't have run. He should have played dead. Or no, that's for grizzlies. For black bears you shout and make noise. For polar bears, I don't know, but I do know you don't run, any bear will outrun you. Carry bear pepper spray if out camping or hiking. That should really piss them off. If you're in your house, well, don't set out the trash. Just keep it piled up inside until garbage day. Above all, don't panic. After all, when a raging, hungry, or overprotective animal weighing anywhere from 400 to 800 pounds or more comes charging at you with the speed of a locomotive,roaring and snarling as he prepares to eat you alive, you have to stay calm.

And remember, like all other vicious wild animals, the Democrats need bears. Not just because of the money they rake in from the environmental movement, which is almost unarguably the main reason. They also need them to thin out the population of deers, elk, moose, etc., that so many red state folks like to cravenly hunt for food and sport. Otherwise, this hunting thing might catch on with more and more people who would willingly take up the slack caused by a diminishing of the bear population. To say nothing of the fact that a dearth of bears, wolves, cougars, etc., might result in cheaper meat due to relief from the burden and expense of having to protect livestock from predators, as well as the expense of when they fall prey to the beasts.

But more importantly perhaps, it will serve to keep humans out of those areas that need to remain pristine, untouched by human hands, except of course those tree-hugger freaks that know how to do it right.

And the fact that much of this would kill the tourism industry, to places like Yellowstone? Reduction in tourism dollars to red states is gravy to a Democrat. If the bears don't get you, a Democrat will. Luckily, there were enough witnesses to the Yellowstone mauling, in addition to surviving victims, to convince Fish And Wildlife to hunt and trap the offending bear, a mother who was teaching her cubs to hunt humans. See, Fish And Wildlife are looking out for our constitutional rights. They understand that a bear has no more right to hunt humans than a human has a right to hunt bear. On the other hand, if she had just mauled the guy to death without witnesses, they would have assumed she was just acting out of concern for her cubs and left her, and them, alone. Another lesson to take from all this. Don't go hiking alone. If it comes down to your word against the bears, the bears will get the benefit of the doubt every time.

So get with the program, and remember, if you ever come face to face with a bear-be calm, relaxed, don't run, and if he attacks, just go limp. If you have a gun, don't shoot. Remember, firearms are illegal in federal areas. Try to talk with Mr. Bear. Maybe if you sing to him? If he ends up picking you up in those big powerful jaws, just hang in there. He might just be trying to play with you, or give you a stern warning. Hopefully you won't end up like this idiot.

But if you do, console yourself with the fact that we are all just another part of the food chain. Try not to concentrate on the fact that the last evidence of your existence on earth might well be in the form of bear shit. And if it happens to your children, your wife, girlfriend, parents-what of it? After all, what are they? In reality, we are all just atoms, molecules, dust in the wind.

Besides, we can always pray for the day we will be reunited with our loved ones in a better, brighter, happier world.

As long as you don't do it in public, that is.

Obama's Bullshit Bingo

Debbie at Right Truth presents this far safer alternative to the old standby, the drinking game. Cos let's face it, taking a shot of Jack for every line of bullshit Obama spews out of his mouth tonight could probably leave you dead from alcohol poisoning.

(Click to enlarge)

UPDATE-Zilla, she of The Resistance, has informed me that the "lecture" by our gasbag President will actually be tomorrow night, which means I'll probably be watching the far less predictable (and definitely less boring) NFL opener.

Damn, now come to find out the speech isn't tonight, it's next Thursday night, September 8th. The GOP debate is Wednesday night, September 7th. Now hopefully this will be the last correction.

Your Government In All Its Tyrannical Glory

UPDATE-Gibson says this brilliant move by our wonderful agents of the Fish And Wildlife Service will likely cost their company an estimated two or three million dollars. The company should know, as this is not the first time they've bee raided. The last time was over wood from Madagascar. Evidently, as pointed out to me by my favorite Wonder Woman at Right Truth, its not the wood they're protecting, its international labor laws, in these cases of India and Madagascar.

Still, something else has come to light. While Gibson is being harassed, Martin Guitars, which uses the same kind of woods from the same regions, gets a pass. I guess it helps if your company executives are big Democrat contributors, and it sure as hell don't hurt that Martin is a union shop. Guess who is not a union shop. That would be Gibson.

(End of Update)

Here they fucking go, brave and tireless agents of-The Fish And Wildlife Service. Note that those aren't rods and reel they're checking up on. It's guitars at a Gibson guitar factory. What's going on here?

According to the Wall Street Journal, they are checking to make sure none of the guitar parts are made out of protected wood from species of trees deemed to be endangered. Don't worry, it gets worse. Much worse.

According to Right Truth, you might lose your guitar even if you purchased it decades ago, or even if its a family heirloom from generations past. That's why you should make sure you have the proper paperwork that would prove that every single part-not just the guitar itself, but every single part-was made before the law went into effect.

John Thomas, a law professor at Quinnipiac University and a blues and ragtime guitarist, says "there's a lot of anxiety, and it's well justified." Once upon a time, he would have taken one of his vintage guitars on his travels. Now, "I don't go out of the country with a wooden guitar." [snip]

It's not enough to know that the body of your old guitar is made of spruce and maple: What's the bridge made of? If it's ebony, do you have the paperwork to show when and where that wood was harvested and when and where it was made into a bridge? Is the nut holding the strings at the guitar's headstock bone, or could it be ivory? "Even if you have no knowledge—despite Herculean efforts to obtain it—that some piece of your guitar, no matter how small, was obtained illegally, you lose your guitar forever," Prof. Thomas has written. "Oh, and you'll be fined $250 for that false (or missing) information in your Lacey Act Import Declaration."

A commenter at Right Truth pointed out that Gibson is not a unionized company, therefore this might at least in part be an effort of the Obama Administration to come down on behalf of its union lackeys.

But perhaps an even more pertinent point might be-I thought we were operating under a deficit. Is this kind of shit the reason the nation was held hostage by Democrats during the budget negotiations? So asshole cunts like this would have the money to operate at a further detriment to American business, and the overall economy?

Throw all these cocksuckers in chains as far as I'm concerned. Tarring and feathering just wouldn't be good enough for these fucking jackals all the way up and down the food chain, including Obama and the Congressional Democrats.

I Devil He's Devil Hey

It seems like I posted this before, but I'm not sure. Even if I did, its so damn cool its worth a repeat anyway. Here we have two videos of the same song, by the same group. But oh, how very different they are. For the first one, let's harken back to an earlier time. A time of joy and innocence. Or was it so innocent? Listen carefully to the lyrics and music of the Beatles Obladi Oblada, from The Beatles (White Album).



Yep, good wholesome innocent fun. Until you listen to the song in REVERSE that is. It's not until then that you realize the nonsensical phrase "Obladi" is actually an anagram for-DIABLO. In other words, the Devil.

So what all will we hear in this wholesome, innocent song played in reverse?



Well, so there you have it. Whether this is an intentional case of backward masking, or a matter of subconsciously induced reversed speech in the person of Paul MacCartney (the lead singer and composer of the tune)some of the lyrics heard seem to clearly match the words displayed on the screen. A few parts aren't as clear and might be open to other interpretations.

One thing though is very clear. This might be the first and only case where a song played in reverse is actually better than when played as originally intended. I think its hilarious, actually.

A Crazy Democrat, Socialist Bitch Shows Her True Colors

UPDATE-When I first saw this video, I didn't realize at first it was from 2009, so its not exactly what you would call "recent". But it still serves nicely as a reference point to help put Maxine Waters and her antics in perspective.

I don't even know where to begin with this cunt. She's had one hell of a last couple of weeks or so, that's for sure. During a recent appearance before her constituents she asked them to unleash us on Obama, referring to members of the Congressional Black Caucus and other black elected leaders. She is evidently frustrated that Obama's policies seem to be hurting black communities and suggests this is because he hasn't been progressive enough. Not too long after this, she went on an anti-Tea Party rant, saying that as far as she's concerned the Tea Party can go to hell. She followed this up with a promise that she would help send them there, a remark which if uttered in a similar fashion by a conservative against a Democrat would have been taken as a death threat.

She has also taken umbrage at Florida Republican Representative Allen West for his recent remarks in which he referred to the Democratic Party's hold over black voters as akin to a plantation, inferring that Waters and other members of the CBC acted as what amounted to straw bosses. Which is, in fact, what they are.

And now this. The bitch actually had the temerity to announce on the floor of the House that if the oil companies couldn't or wouldn't keep prices down, she as a liberal would be pushing for the government to take over the oil companies and "run things". Unbelievable, but here it is.



My only question is, why hasn't this ugly fucking piece of shit been arrested? She should have been dragged out of the House Chambers then and there. At the very least she should be censured, but let's face it, that's not going to happen. Its just as well, as that would amount to a slap on the wrist compared to what this whore should face, which is a charge of treason. She and a hell of a lot of others, including that fucking tool Obama, should be hanging in the breeze over our nation's capitol as I type these words.

Jihadist Threatens Letterman-"Cut The Tongue Of This Lowly Jew"

David Letterman is learning the hard way that making jokes about a fourteen year old politician's daughter being raped by a baseball player in public is one thing. Making fun of Islamic terrorists-well that's quite a different matter. For making jokes about Bin Laden, and the recent death by drone strike of one of his top lieutenants, Letterman was subjected to the following screed on a jihadist website-

“Is there not amongst you a Sayyid Nosair al-Masri (may Allah release him) to cut the tongue of this lowly Jew and shut it forever. Just as Sayyid (may Allah release him) did with the Jew Kahane [referring to Masri, who was convicted of the 1990 killing of Meir Kahane, the founder of the Jewish Defense League]

We ask Allah to paralyze his tongue and grant the sincere monotheists his neck. O Allah, amen.”

The punchline-Letterman is a Presbyterian. But hey, that fact shouldn't prevent a good old fashioned Muslim fundamentalist from doubling down with a healthy dose of anti-Semitism.

Of course, this will be a hiccup in the grand scheme of things. The Left will continue with their insistence that all of us exercise tolerance towards a group that wants to kill us just for not being them. But if a Christian or a conservative had reacted to Letterman's sexually explicit joke about Willow Palin by saying something like "somebody ought to castrate that leftist piece of shit", hell would have been raised for weeks and the person who made the remark might have even faced a fine, and possibly jail time. On top of that, every person who was a part of that person's peer group would have been deemed a potential right-wing extremist and a national security threat.

So actually, not only do I NOT give a shit about Letterman's predicament, I also don't give a fucking rats ass if somebody actually follows through on it. I'm not a famous person, and if some Muslim piece of shit killed me, or any of you, do you think Letterman would give a fucking shit? Hell no, and neither would anyone else in the fucking leftist progressive "mainstream" media. I would be damn lucky if they even reported my murder in passing. So fuck all of them. It's about time some of them slept in the bed they're trying to make for all of us.

Just for grins, here's a Top Ten List of some of the fine folks who have experienced the consequences of insulting the Religion Of Peace Submission.

Come Into My Parlor

Said The Bleechers to the Skinhead Girls.

Union Thugs Try To Murder Toledo Businessman

The man's name is John King, and he was recently shot in the arm by a man he caught vandalizing his car. This was not the first time that King, who owns an electrician business which is a non-union shop, has been targeted by the electrician's union, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Which, judging by their name, is probably a bunch of communist cocksuckers.

Courtesy of Labor Union Reports-

Unfortunately, being a non-union electrical company, King has always been on the radar of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). In fact, in 2006, he won a significant case against the IBEW at the US Court of Appeals, after the union had improperly promised his electricians jobs on union sites if they voted the union into King’s company.

Since he’s been in business, in addition to the legal battles and verbal abuse, King’s company has been vandalized and threatened on numerous occasions.

“Back then, it was nothing to have to regularly buy a new set of tires.” King said during a telephone interview on Tuesday. “The ice pick was the weapon of choice.”

Until Wednesday, the worst of the union attacks on King and his business came in the mid-eighties during the UAW strike at AP Parts. During a lull during the lengthy strike, King’s business was picketed by more than 50 IBEW picketers. This was at a time when he only had eight or nine employees. One of his employees, whose car was trashed by the union picketers, was also beaten up by IBEW thugs.

Note one very important point. If the IBEW had not attempted to bribe King's employees, they would have been well within their rights, legally speaking, to force their union on King's business, and he would have been legally obligated to have to go through them in dealing with his employees.

And people wonder why all the jobs are leaving America. In between the taxes, regulations, and the unions, one has to wonder why there are any jobs remaining here. It takes a real masochist to start a business in the US. I wouldn't put up with it if I had ten billion dollars. I'd keep it all locked away and drawing interest. Shoot that, motherfuckers.

It's high time the unions were busted up, and their leaders jailed, tried, and imprisoned on Rico charges, along with their Democratic Party ass-lickers.

Or, failing that-be prepared. This is not the first time something like this has happened, and it damn sure won't be the last time. Nor is it necessarily a requirement that you be a boss, or a non-union worker to earn their ire. All you have to do is show up on the roles in some vicinities as a registered Republican. Especially if you support a politician known for his or her staunch anti-union views and record. Don't be shy about it. Advertise it liberally. We all believe in transparency, right?

That makes it that much more likely one of these worthless bastards will accost you on the street, or possibly try to force their way into your home. A good silent alarm is all you need, and of course one other thing.

Just remember-aim for the head.

Redneck And Proud Of It

Ryan, Dylan, and Lee Grace Dougherty, known through the media as The Dougherty Gang, were captured in Colorado after a high speed chase that ended with the Dougherty's crashing their vehicle. Lee Grace is reported to have exited the vehicle and fired on the officers, who returned fire, wounding the 29 year old former stripper in the leg. One of her brothers was quickly apprehended, the other one being captured after a brief chase on foot.

And here all this time I thought they might have been on their way to Kentucky. I had been on the lookout for them. You know, I wanted to do my "civic duty" and all. With this in mind, I have spent hours carefully "studying" Lee Grace's photo stream on Flickr, which includes the following photo, among many others.

The problem started when one of the brothers, Ryan, was put on ten years probation for sexual battery of an eleven year old girl, whom he was charged with sending explicit text messages. He had a previous criminal record for burglary, and other charges. Lee Grace herself had a long record, mainly for assault, including once of a police officer. The other brother, Dylan, didn't have much of a record, just one charge for possession of marijuana. It was Ryan's problems that set the group off. They loaded up their weapons and headed to the hills of Colorado. In between, they robbed a bank and engaged in a chase and shoot out with police which took them from Georgia to Tennessee, where the trio of siblings eluded their pursuers. Their mother made an impassioned plea for them to turn themselves in, but it wasn't until they were spotted purchasing outdoors equipment at a sporting goods store in Colorado that the law had any idea where they were. It had previously been presumed they were hiding out in Tennessee.

Now they're gone to prison, for a long, long time, this trio of hellcat rednecks who were determined to live free or die if necessary.

Film at eleven. And another doubtless soon to come to a theater near you.

Getting To Know Herman Cain

UPDATE-I wanted to include this video Stacy McCain (The Other McCain) recorded and uploaded, of a Herman Cain appearance in Denison Iowa. In it, Cain reacts to Obama's lame attempt earlier today (in conjunction with his Press Secretary, David Axelrod, John Kerry, and other Democrats) to blame the Tea Party for the US credit downgrade by Standard & Poor's.

Be sure and watch the video and see Herman explain exactly why Obama and the Democrats excuses just ain't gonna fly.



(End Of Update)

The Other McCain, a long-time supporter of Herman Cain, turns us on to this video from the Herman Cain campaign, one of the best one minute ads you'll see anywhere.



Unfortunately, Cain did a flip-flop on his previous comments about appointing a Muslim to the White House, during a recent meeting with Muslim leaders. This might have been due to bad advice. A good rule of thumb when you hire professional political consultants is to ask them their advice on everything under the sun, and take copious notes. That way, you'll know what not to do.

Having said that, there is always a chance that his meeting and subsequent statement might have been a way of keeping this issue from being a distraction, a means for the liberal mainstream media to detract from his campaign. If so, while understandable I would have used a different approach.

In the meantime, one can still take comfort in the fact that Cain has arguably the strongest conservative stance on national security, and on immigration, of any of the current candidates.

Michelle Bachmann On Our Credit Downgrade

Michelle Bachmann brings it home, just how serious the downgrade of the USA's credit rating really is, the first time its happened since we achieved our AAA rating in 1917. Barak Obama refused to reign in his spending plans, refused to accede to the four trillion dollars in cuts the S&P warned him he would have to do to maintain our credit rating. It's not like he was blindsided. He had fair warning, well in advance. It was the Tea Party who tried, desperately, to get him to agree to the S&P request.

Now thanks to the stubbornness and arrogance of Obama and the Democrats in Congress, they have accomplished what even the Great Depression could not. They have said, in effect, fuck our credit rating, fuck our economy, and fuck the American people. After all, how could they ever manage to pay off their union lackeys and other special interest thieves by actually governing in a responsible manner?

I disagree with Bachmann on one small detail in the following video. Asking Timothy Geitner to resign would do little to reassure the markets as long as the clueless idiot who now occupies the oval office maintains that position.

Our Credit Now Officially Sucks

Shouldn't Democrats be embarrassed at the fact that Standard and Poors has downgraded our bond rating from AAA to AA+? After all, they did so due to Democrats stubborn refusal to cut four trillion dollars from the debt, as they clearly warned them they should.

Now President Barak Obama, on bringing the country to the brink of default on its obligations, has further increased our debt, and due to his policies, his recklessness and stubbornness, has caused at least one credit agency to lower our bond rating because, well, thanks to the first African American President, our credit is no longer considered worthy of AAA status.

You can't make this shit up. Nor can you talk about it in polite circles. But I was never known to be polite. I just make this point in the way of making a prediction.

Obama has over the last few days been laying the groundwork toward blaming everybody but himself for this. He is blaming the Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring, economic uncertainty in Europe, hell if he thought it would fly he'd blame Charlie Sheen.

But of course it wouldn't fly, and neither will his finger-pointing at any of his other targets, including previous President George W. Bush. So you know what will happen next, right? When nothing else works, fall back on that old standard cliche' that has gotten tried and true results since the nineteen sixties, whether it was a valid charge or not.

Standard And Poor's has downgraded our bonds during the tenure of the first black President of the United States of America, who also happens to be, in practice at least, the most liberal President in the history of the country. There can be only one explanation, and I guarantee you will hear it before long. Wait for it-

STANDARD AND POOR'S IS A RAAAAACIST COMPANY!!

Cold Cuts

Cuts to the FDA and USDA, which have been far too long coming, are now being blamed for a recent outbreak of Salmonella in processed food. Specifically lambasting the GOP Congress is Rep. Rose DeLauro of Connecticut, who contends the GOP driven budget cuts will put the nations food safety at risk. The offender in the latest incident is Cargill who produces the ground turkey meat that turned out to be the source of the problem, prompting one of the biggest recalls in the history of processed food. Several people were sickened, and one person died.

DeLauro, the senior Democrat on the Appropriations Committee Health sub-panel, charges that cuts to the Departments were the reasons it took so long to track the source of the outbreak.

A number of points, aside from the fact that the FDA doesn't regulate meat or poultry to begin with. One, no laws have been changed. You still can not legally cut corners and endanger the public health in the pursuit of profit. Two, its not like there was never any outbreaks before the recent budget cuts. There have been several, and it took some time to trace them back to their origins. One fairly recent case that occurred before any cuts went on for weeks. In one or two cases, the origin was never completely verified. There have been problems with tomatoes, with lettuce, with green onions. The latter case almost caused the Mexican restaurant Chi-Chi's to go out of business. That was the problem that was never fully resolved. The problem with the lettuce was blamed, perhaps unfairly, on immigrant labor from Mexico. It too was never fully resolved. But it went away. These things come and go.

And let's face it, the vast majority of cases can probably be traced back to unsanitary conditions in the private home where the cooking occurred, or perhaps the food wasn't cooked thoroughly enough. So what are we going to do about that? Hire a staff of FDA agents in every community to make spot checks of homes in certain neighborhoods to make sure sanitary conditions are being adhered to? Put enough Democrats back in office and that is not beyond the realm of possibility.

Bottom line-we can't afford the shit anymore. Not only do we not have the money, we can't afford to fund the adversarial relationship of big government to business. It causes businesses to not be able to expand or be competitive with larger rivals, for one thing. For another thing, it reduces the prospect of hiring new employees, and even increases the likelihood of further layoffs. Which of course means it becomes even harder to maintain proper conditions. It has caused some businesses to even fold, go out of business, go bankrupt. And, in every case, it causes the cost of these intrusive, combative regulations to be passed on to we, the consumers of America. We pay for it twice. We pay for it out of our taxes. Then we pay for it a second time at the counter.

And for what? One purpose it serves is to create more government workers to pay dues into the coffers of government employees unions, much of which is, of course, funneled back to the coffers of various Democrat politicians like Rose DeLauro.

Another thing it does is actually create a climate more conducive to Big Business than to small and mid-sized business. It is rare when a food giant like Cargill is cited for these kinds of instances. It is usually small operations such as Estrella Family Creamery which bear the brunt of burdensome regulations. Cargill can survive and adapt. If it has to pay a substantial fine, that's a minor annoyance. Smaller businesses have to struggle to survive. And that's just the point.

Democrat politicians, and for that matter many Republicans, hate small business. After all, at their competitive best they are harmful to the profit margins of the big companies that Democrats especially depend on to fill their tax quotas, or to provide make work for their constituents, or their favored unions.

But most importantly, it is small business and their advocates in Congress and the states that hinder their efforts at establishing a regulatory, tax-and-spend regime aimed at putting us all under the thumb of government. A totalitarian government based not on the rule of law, but the law of rules.

This Day In History

Thanks to Always On Watch for the cool graphic commemorating Obama's birthday and for pointing out it happens to fall on the same day-August 4th-that Lizzie Borden allegedly murdered her parents with an ax.

Of course, there is at least a chance Lizzie was innocent of the crime.

Palin Fires A Salvo At The Romneylan

Score one for the Federalist Nation. Mitt kept his cloaking device operational, waiting until the eleventh hour before announcing his opposition to the bi-partisan budget debt ceiling agreement, his finger still wet from the spit and cold from the crisp northern air. See, this is what Democrats typically do. During the primaries they play to their base, and then in the general election they try to pivot towards the center, staying just far enough to the left to legitimately claim they are a "new kind of Democrat". Republicans are no different, only they usually make their way leftward to the center right.

Palin denounced this tactic last night on Hannity, while simultaneously applauding Michelle Bachmann's determined and principled stand against the agreement.

So is she finally ready to make her announcement? Is she running? She wouldn't go any further than to say she was seriously mulling it over. Its worth noting though that Sean Hannity all but declared his belief that she was going to run, to which she responded with-a smile, nothing more.

If its going to happen, it will probably be around Labor Day when she declares, which is the traditional day for such announcements. It's starting to look like good strategy, if true.

Those Peaceful, Fun-Loving Norwegian Laborites And Their Innocent Summer Camps

You already know this isn't going to be good, right? Well come to find out that "Summer Camp" in Norway wasn't so pure and innocent after all. It was a pro-Palestinian propaganda camp that spewed anti-Israeli rhetoric on a daily basis. But it was more even than that. They were teaching these "kids" how to advocate on behalf of the Palestinian cause. For example, they supported the recent flotilla efforts to breach the Israeli blockade of ships. They taught that the Palestinians should have the "right of return" to Israel and that the wall should be torn down.

Bear in mind, this wasn't some NGO acting as a private non-profit agency. This was an entity that was sponsored by the Norwegian Labour Party, which come to find out is the ruling party of what is possibly the most anti-Semitic government in Europe. And that is fucking saying something.

But then again, pictures speak louder than words.

The jackass standing in the foreground of the picture is Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store. I don't know when this picture was taken, whether on the day of the "tragedy" or some other day, so I am unfortunately unable to report whether this jackass got his just desserts. But on the day that he was there he made the following statement in an address to all these joyous, rosy cheeked children-

The Palestinians “must have their own state, the occupation must end, the wall must be demolished and it must happen now"

Oh but it wasn't all study and work. What fun would that be? There were also games for the children. For example-

This little innocent children's game is called "Break The Israeli Blockade". My look how much fun these charming little horrors are having.

Do I seem harsh, even more so than usual? Too bad. The Labour Party in response to the murders, while understandably commenting that Brevik's rampage was unjustified, made the statement that the Palestinian's constant attacks against Israelis was justified due to Israeli policies-

"Ma’ariv asked Sevje whether in the wake of Breivik’s terrorist attack Norwegians would be more sympathetic to the victimization of innocent Israelis by Palestinian terrorists.

Sevje said no, and explained, “We Norwegians view the occupation as the reason for terror against Israel. Many Norwegians still see the occupation as the reason for attacks against Israel. Whoever thinks this way, will not change his mind as a result of the attack in Oslo."

The author of the article notes:

"So in the mind of the illiberal Norwegians [the Labour Party], terrorism is justified if the ideology behind it is considered justified.

And, by the way, some in the labour Party have even questioned whether Brevik was acting on behalf of Mossad.

So no, I'm not being harsh. For one thing, this is a widespread problem in Norway, and in other European countries, and it is probably going to be an ever growing problem here in the states. Only the immigrant of choice here is probably going to be Somalis, already a growing population. The UN recently issued a statement to the effect that fundamentalist Islam is responsible for the country's problems. That the UN would issue such an uncharacteristic statement is bizarre on the face of it, and its probably code for a request for the industrialized nations, including the US, to take in Somali refugees. If so, that is going to be a big problem.

As for Brevik, he was not the disease. He was just a symptom, a reaction to a growing cancer that is killing his country, and will eat away at the vitality of any nation in which it spreads. Including our own.
