So You Want To Raise A Sociopath


You might want to consider the case of San Francisco native Kelly Campbell, who zealously looks out for the interests of her eight year old daughter Britney by giving her Botox injections and Virgin Waxes.


The waxes will keep her from growing pubic hair when she goes through puberty and the Botox-which Kelly purchases on-line and injects herself into Britney's forehead, eyelids, and lips-will insure that her daughter will stay baby-faced longer than usual. This will help her win child beauty pageants on her way to becoming an eventual superstar.

And I'm sure it will keep her attractive for a longer period of time to the men, and women, who are judges and habitues of child beauty pageants, where children Britney's age and younger are paraded like little sex symbols.

If its any consolation, Britney seems fine with all this. Then again, she is only eight years old. Not quite marrying age yet, but it probably won't be too long before she has her own entourage. I'm sure Kelly can be trusted to screen them for the most promising marriage prospects. Pussies without pubic hair seem to be all the rage these days.

Former Muslim Terrorizes New York State Senate Hearing With A WMD Called "The Truth"


When a person leaves Islam, he or she will do so secure in the knowledge that there are numerous former fellow Muslims who will exact a most terrible judgement, by taking the person's life. This is a well-know fact, and as such, you would think that when a person such as that has something to say, their words would be worth listening to and giving all due consideration and respect.

Such a person is Nonie Darwish, the director of Former Muslims United, who spoke at a New York State Senate Committee hearing recently, and who raised eyebrows when she said that, as a Muslim child, she was taught to hate America, as well as Israel and the West. She also raised some voices, one of them a New York State Senate Democrat, who while brandishing a Koran, blared that she was spreading "hate and poison", that her presence was offensive to the hearing (which was ostensibly held to discuss how prepared New York is for another potential terrorist attack), and that "this is not our enemy", apparently referencing the Koran.

Miss Darwish continued her train of thought, insisting that not only what she said was true but that it was not a secret, which made the New York Senate Democrat, Eric Adams from Brooklyn, even angrier. He was interrupted by a couple of Republicans who mainly insisted he stop playing to the cameras and let the woman speak. One Republican commented, in an apparent effort at compromise, that Miss Darwish spoke only for herself and her own life experience, and not for the many good Muslims in the US and the world.

And so it goes. Politicians either want the truth or they do not. The truth should never be manipulated, or hidden, to spare the feelings of constituents or to ease their fears. Far too many politicians want to avoid the truth, or outright deny it. Or they want to compromise with it. Even when it comes to this deadly serious issue, once that might well put many lives at risk, they can't stop the games and political correctness. That is because they think they cannot trust you-we, the people-with the truth.

And it is like that throughout the corridors of power, from state legislators to those who hold the highest national office. A case in point here would be Lindsey Graham, who recently proposed that there should be limits on free speech when it amounted to offending the sensibilities of the many Muslim thugs who make up at least a large minority of the Muslim world where moderation and tolerance is discouraged and is in fact seen as a weakness, and even as evil, possibly Satanic.

In fact, Muslim moderates, if they exist at all, say very little in opposition to the radicals, for the very good reason they don't want to come home one day to find their families slaughtered. Not by some relatively small group of thugs, but by any number of devout mainstream Muslims just carrying out the fatwas of their local religious leaders.

It's a very real hazard, and for a bunch of corrupt politicians to denounce a woman who went out of her way to testify about the reality of these dangers and at great personal risk to her health and life, is beyond the pale.

Wisconsin-"The People Have Spoken"

The Wisconsin State GOP, and really, every true conservative across the country, just learned what its like to close a car door on your hand. It hurts like hell but when you get your hand free, it feels soooooo fucking good. And so it was with the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court race between liberal judge Kloppenburg and conservative Justice David Prosser.

For a short time, Kloppenburg was a scant 240 votes ahead, with ninety nine percent of all precincts reporting, yet felt confident enough to declare victory (a very important point about this later). It should have come as no surprise that Prosser did not concede, and promised a recount, yet liberals and Democrats throughout the country declared that Prosser should get out of the way of progress, and that it was counter-productive for him to demand a recount, and for others to allege that there might be misconduct on the part of the Democrats.

Suddenly, a seeming miracle. Waukesha County had previously tallied their votes, yet due to some unforeseen clerical error, all of the totals had not been recorded. There were more than fifteen thousand of them, more than ten thousand of which went for Prosser, which netted him a more than seven thousand vote advantage over Kloppenburg. As such, Prosser's victory was now complete, assured, and insurmountable. Suddenly, all ideas as to the negativity of charges of voting fraud were off the table.

If you could ever hear the sound of hot air being let out of a lead balloon, I think it might sound a lot like Michael Moore on Twitter. His acerbic wit was finding everything from Osama Bin Laden to WMD on the computer of the offending Waukesha County Clerk who discovered her error.

Unfortunately for the leftist spoilsports who creep among us, the error of Kathy Nikolaus was noted by others before she herself. Notable among them is Anne Althouse, who followed the race while posting in real time, and even commented as to why the Waukesha totals remained the same throughout the night after other precincts added their votes to the previous totals.

Be that as it may, though Democrats hopes are dashed, I have to wonder about their true intent from the beginning. Kloppenburg's unseemly declaration of victory, so quickly, and with such a slim lead to that point, is suspicious and makes me wonder about the last votes tallied for her. I have a strong idea that the last two hundred, three hundred, four hundred votes for her might turn out strong evidence of foul play which her union backers as well as possibly some state election officials hoped to conceal by urging a premature victory concession from Justice Prosser. And as might be expected, leftist groups across the country, as well as blogs like The Daily Kos, took up the demand for Prosser to step aside as quickly as possible.

Republicans shouldn't mind at all being accused of being poor winners if they insist on an investigation. After all, Moore has gone so far as to suggest that Obama should even impound the ballets cast for Prosser from Waukesha-which by the way should give you a pretty damn good idea as to what kind of power socialists would accede to a President that met their approval under their own fucked up system.

If I'm right, evidence of ballot tampering and outright fraud by the Democrats and their union thug bosses should not be hard to uncover and should lead to hard prison time for the culpable parties. Its time to pound a stake through the heart of this vicious vampire because let's face it, this is not the first time Democrats have engaged in voting fraud, nor is it the first time this has been done in collusion with the unions, both of private and public employees. Its time to set an example by making examples out of these pirates.

Some enemies need to be utterly destroyed. Symbolically speaking, of course.

Or maybe not.

But at least for the time being, we are justified in exercising our right to gloat.

Get 'Er Done-Or, Shut 'Er Down

It looks like we are heading for a great big ol' gubmint shutdown here in a day or so, unless the Republicans and Democrats can come to an agreement. Wouldn't that just be a crying shame? Just think-no EPA, no FDA, all the other government agencies and cabinet departments we Americans have come to trust and depend on to keep us all honest and keep everything aboveboard. How could we ever survive?

Well, in my opinion, I think we can muddle through somehow. In fact, I think we might just discover that we never needed the motherfuckers to begin with. And that's really the last thing the Democrats want, so there's no way they want to shut 'er down, but they're in between the proverbial rock and a hard place, because they know they're going to have to give up something, otherwise they'll never be able to proceed with their plans to collapse the nation under a mountain of debt. That of course would be a requirement if they intend to forge ahead with their plans to "spread the wealth".

After all, once we are collapsed into bankruptcy, what choice will we have but to accede to their demands to tax (soak) the rich, for the benefit of all those cute little Democrat special interest groups-international organized labor and their blood brothers the Muslim jihadists, along with Latinos and other illegal immigrants, the progressive black voting bloc, the gays, the feminists, and of course and all their other internationalist partners in crime.

So what do they do? They respond by accusing the Republicans of "ideology" Ha Ha Ha.

The only thing the GOP is doing that is slightly wrong is putting too much emphasis on ending federal funding of abortion. Not that they shouldn't end it, but they should make it plain that their objections to government spending goes way beyond that, because otherwise the Democrats will try to define them as acting against abortion rights-excuse me, I mean "women's reproductive freedom"-and all of those poor impoverished children and the elderly the GOP will put on the chopping block.

The Republicans need to stick to their guns and stay on message, and remind the people that, if they really do want to reduce the size and scope of the federal government, worrying about the government being shut down isn't the most sensible thing in the world to be worried about.

In fact, it should be something to look forward to.

Bad Karma

Oprah Winfrey's new exercise in hubris, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) isn't doing so good in the ratings, coming out at number 40 among cable channels and number 41 in prime time, so she's decided on what seems to be a stroke of desperation in order to save her bacon and the billions of dollars of her personal fortune she's invested in the ill-advised venture. Pulling out all stops, she's hired none other than Rosie O'Donnell to host what she hopes will be the flagship day time talk show of the struggling enterprise.

Rosie O'Donnell-the woman who launched her own magazine, which failed miserably, and then invested much of her own personal fortune in a Broadway show about, and starring, Boy George, the creature with whom she is pictured below, an endeavor in which she might well have been victimized by what was possibly the biggest entertainment scam of the century.


This is a woman who is universally loathed, by almost all accounts, by the people who made up the staff of her own previous talk show venture, her one claim to an all too temporary success. Yet, Oprah seems to think so little of her own staff that she would subject them to this creature.

Did Oprah not learn from not only the things I have listed, but the broadly-held disdain with which O'Donnell is held due to her crazed leftist bent, which was fully on display in her one harrowing season on The View, as well as all her other public outings-or nearly anytime she opens her fat flapping mouth?

Oprah may have revealed her true colors with this move. Moonbats of a feather do tend to flock together. Soon, they might well have more than just their moonbattery in common however. They might also soon share another title-failure.

US And Saudi Arabia-The Deal

I was hoping I could get away from this subject, but to paraphrase Michael Corleone, "Every time I try to find something else to blog about, they drag me back in."

Well, it is a doozy this time out. According to this report from the Asia Times, a deal was made between the Obama Administration, through Hillary Clinton's State Department, and Saudi Arabia. The gist of it is, the Saudis would agree to coral Arab League support for the Western "kinetic military action" in Libya if the US would support them invading Bahrain for the purpose of putting down the revolt of the country's majority Shi'ite population.

It gets better. According to the report, less than half the Arab league ever supported the establishment of a No-Fly Zone over Libya. In fact, out of the 22-member organization, only six of the nations supported the move. Evidently, the rest abstained from the vote. If there ever was a vote to begin with, that is.

The report starts to descent into leftist lunacy at this point, which makes one wonder about the validity of the report in general. Supposedly, this is just another western plot to control Arab resources, in this case Libya. Then again, this might not be so far fetched, when you consider the energy needs of the European Union. In fact, we could be seeing a general realignment of resource allocation, with the European Union taking the lion's share of Middle Eastern resources, while the US generally backs away from the region (and its support for Israel), and concentrates its energy needs on subsidized green energy production at home, and new foreign sources for crude oil, such as Brazil, though this would be mainly as a sop to take the edge off exploding energy prices on the way to the new domestic Green Revolution.

Under this scenario, NATO would play a greater role in Middle East stability, while the US would greatly reduce its role, and its energy access.

In other words, a recipe for real disaster, for Israel, for the majority of the citizens of the EU who do not have a clue as to the problems this will cause them domestically and economically-and for the US.

In the final analysis, my only real quibble with the report is the Asian Times seems to hold that there ever really was a legitimate pro-democracy movement among the Muslim countries of the Middle East and North Africa to begin with. I think the whole thing, from beginning to end, was maneuvered and manipulated by the west and the Obama Administration.

If it had just been one or two countries, I might consider the possibility that things are the way they have been presented. But the entire region, one country after another.

Sorry, this has foreign intrigue and subversion written all over it. The only real question is, who and why? It shouldn't really be that hard to figure out.

Things That Make You Go WTF?!

Caption the freak below if you wish.

The picture is of a man in the process of changing to a woman, complete with fake breast implants, on a daily dose of female hormones. Now, however, he might be spending the next couple of years in jail for child abuse. He abused his own kids because they refused to call him mom. His girlfriend, who witnessed the abuse, is also in trouble.

I wonder if he's going to bitch if the judge refuses to send him to a female prison. One thing though, if he goes to a prison for male offenders, he shouldn't have any problems with his fellow cons not recognizing him as a female. In fact, I have a suspicion he'll get to be very familiar with the Korean word for bitch.

The Truth Hurts

When a former CIA analyst talks, you listen out of the sheer sense that there's a pretty good chance he might just know what's he's talking about. The video below is notable for far, far more than the way Michael Schuerer criticizes CNN's Christine Romans for "carrying Obama's water". Notice how he explicitly states that the American involvement in Libya is the work of Hillary Clinton, and-John McCain, two people who just can't seem to help wanting to intervene in the affairs of foreign nations. McCain is a doddering old fool who, had he won the election and lived, would have done incalculable damage to the country, which would have likely been permanent in lieu of the irreparable harm he would have done to the Republican Party, which remember at the time was already practically on life support.

Now he is in the Senate insisting that we need to do something about the situation in Libya which we should have kept at far greater than arms length from the start. Arizona made a grave mistake by returning this crusty old RINO to the Senate. For all his flaws, J D Hayworth would have been a vast improvement.

As for Hillary Clinton, she's always been arguably a bigger snake than her husband, and twice as venomous.

Donald Trump-The Sizzle Sells The Steak

I don't know how to take Donald Trump. Tonight on The O'Reilly Factor, yet to be aired (8:00 pm est) he calls Obama "our weak president" and complains that he kisses everybody's ass, in those exact words, which are bleeped out. This is a continuation of an interview the first part of which aired last night, in which Trump gave credence to the Birther Movement, which he claims is made up mainly of everyday patriotic Americans who simply have their doubts as to the legitimacy of Obama's presidency. Trump claims Obama could easily clear it up, if he was born in the US, but he goes on to intimate very strongly that he is having his doubts.

So what is this all about? I don't know that much about Trump. I do remember that in an earlier election cycle, maybe 2004, Trump made some noise about running then as well, but if I remember right, then he was talking about running as a Democrat.

My main concern is that in any series of debates he could suck all the oxygen out of the room. If he did win the nomination, the problem then becomes, will he stick to his guns. Sure, he's making some of the right noises now, including some that most candidates are not making, and in fact are shying away from in some cases. But if he actually won the nomination, would he continue as he has been, or would he just be another one of these guys that can't run to the center fast enough.

In this day and age, there is only one legitimate reason to run to the center, and that would be in order to sell to the broader population the same exact principles with which you secure the nomination. Trump could do that. As a businessman, he knows better than most the old business principle I alluded to in the title of this post-"the sizzle sells the steak".

But does he want to sell the steak, or would he prefer to build a coalition of the center, like so many politicians, GOP and Democrat alike? If the Tea-Party takes him to the dance, will he leave them stranded in the corner while he dances with the RINO moderates, or will he dance and leave with the ones who bring him?

That, and not any particular policy issue, is the most important question Donald Trump needs to answer before I could ever be comfortable supporting him.

The fact that he's been making conciliatory gestures towards his old rival Rosie O'Donnell-why now-doesn't ease my concerns.

Rand Paul's Response To Obama's Libya Address

Some murmurings lately have suggested that Paul might be planning to run for President. I hope he doesn't, not because I don't think he'd be a good, maybe even a great president. I would definitely vote for him if he won the nomination. But Kentucky would be deprived of somebody who is shaping up to be one of its all time great Senators. They have been few and far between. 



As for this response to Obama's speech earlier tonight, I agree with him one hundred percent, and I would like to point out that I, for one, have had grave misgivings about our role not just in the Libyan conflict, now a full blown civil war, but with the unrest that has been enveloping the Middle East in general. I agree with those who suggest that Obama has been supportive of the uprisings while keeping relatively in the background. My own view is that he, at the instigation of many in the State Department, as well as influential people in the EU and the UN, to say nothing of non-official influences such as Workers Of The World, Code Pink, the AFL-CIO, and the SEIU, to name a few, are manipulating these events with a goal of reshaping the Middle East.

I suspect they hope to remold it along the line of a European model, a region of quasi-socialist democratic states that might be more peaceful, prosperous, and progressive. If so, its a dangerous game, almost a fool's errand fueled in part by ideology and in some cases a desperate hope for peace couple with an insatiable lust for expanded profit and, in the case of Europe at least, access to a more and desperately needed supply of oil-possibly at the expense of the US, actually.

Yet, American inside-the-beltway politicians of both parties share much of the same goals, and I would like to point out that in the face of ever greater demands for budgetary restraint among mainly freshmen members of Congress, and from ever growing sections of the American population, there is much insistence, and rightly so, of concurrent demands for cuts in defense spending, which is through the roof-to the point where it has become an entitlement in its own right.

What better way to nip those demands in the bud than by throwing yet another splendid little war?

Who Is Chaim Witz And Why Is He So Angry?

Chaim Witz is an Israeli born immigrant to America who is angry-very, very angry at the American rock musicians who have recently called for a boycott on performing in Israel, as well as calling for boycotts of Israeli products, over Israeli treatment of Palestinians. This angers Chaim deeply, as he is himself very proud of his Israeli heritage. That is just who Chaim is.

Chaim Witz is also this guy-


Nice to know Gene Simmons isn't a PC tool, unlike it seems most major American entertainment figures. Well, not all the time anyway. He is one of these, unfortunately, who mistakenly has it in his head that the recent round of unrest in the Middle East is all about people wanting freedom and democracy. I guess anybody that goes around in get-up like this can't help but engage in some wishful thinking. We'll work with him on that.

Farrakhan Rants And Raves About Obama's Libya Policy

Please bear in mind that if Louis Farrakhan were not an American citizen, but were instead a citizen of a Middle Eastern, Asian, or African Muslim nation, he would probably not be considered a radical at all, but probably relatively moderate. Once you absorb that, you start to see how Obama's policies now are only going to make a bad matter much worse. And its already happened. The Arab League, at one point staunch advocates of the imposition of a No-Fly Zone over Libyan airspace by the Western nations, recanted their support almost as soon as the policy was implemented. There is no pleasing these people.

Farrakhan actually makes some good points, but he ruined them with his not unexpected diatribe against the IDF on behalf of what he calls the "innocent" citizens of Gaza. Taking that off to the side it is true our concerns over Rwanda, Darfur, and similar areas all over the world are on the order of cheap talk, rhetoric of concern with nothing to back them up. Why then Libya? What is the justification? The Lockerbie  bombing. The Berlin nightclub attack? Okay, but why now, after all this time, and after Qaddafi had moved steadily towards a more responsible position? He had even, during Bush's presidency, dismantled his nuclear program. He himself had earlier expressed concerns about terrorists and Islamic radicals. He had moved tentatively towards a position of support and cooperation with the West.

DING DING DING!!! I think we have the answer. Having said that, I do not condone nor forgive Qaddafi's past actions. If I had my way about it he would have been killed three decades ago. But that was then. As for Farrakhan, I think the man is running the so-called Nation of Islam along the lines of a criminal conspiracy, not unlike Cosa Nostra. There is credible circumstantial evidence that he was involved with, and possibly the mastermind of, the assassination of Malcolm X.

But he does speak for a broad section of American Muslims, especially, of course, the African American Muslim community. Obama would do well to take his warnings seriously. Personally, I myself, taking into consideration Farrakhan's past history, sense the vague aura of a death threat in his words.

Bearing in mind that this is a man who likes to speak in riddles and allegory, listen to him carefully. It would be well-advised to wonder if his words might well have a double meaning, maybe even an implied order.

Irony Is A Cruel Mistress Indeed

Yeah, all you people that have been so adamant about the need for Obama and the US to stick up for all those freedom loving, democracy craving Libyans wanting to get out from under the thumb of Qaddafi, I got some great news for you. Turns out one of the Libyan rebel commanders leading these Libyan patriots actually fought against us once-in Afghanistan.

I guess he must have changed, huh? After all, everybody wants freedom, right? Who'd lie about a thing like that?

Muslims In France-A Prayer For Orphans

These are Muslims on a bus in France. The really scary thing about them is, they are teenagers. Notice the zeal etched in the voice and features of the future radical Islam and the idiotic grins of his followers. Europe has got a real problem on its hands, especially France, where these people are now a significant percentage of the population.

My personal view is if they start this crap over here, I'm sorry but it will mean our government has failed us in its constitutionally mandated duties and it will be time for the citizens to take matters into their own hands. If that's considered Brown Shirt, that's too fucking bad. Just read, below the video, the translation of what this jackass is preaching.



Translation-Oh Allah make orphans of their children! Amen!
Oh Allah destroy their women and make orphans of their children! Amen!
Oh Allah make the fame of Islam rule everywhere
Oh Allah grant glory to our oppressed brothers in Palestine! Amen
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! There is no God but Allah and the Zionist is the enemy of Allah! There is no God but Allah, and the martyr is the beloved of Allah!

Since he is calling for the women to be killed but the children, not to be killed but to be made orphans, I guess that makes this little punk one of those moderate Muslims I'm always hearing so much about.

Virgin Records

This is from Media Matters, so of course its critical of Beck's joke. His point is of course not that its funny that Egyptian women were subjected to "virginity tests" by the Egyptian police. He was sarcastically pointing out that the Egyptians may be many things, but one thing they are most certainly not is "just like us" and desirous of nothing more than freedom and democracy. We collectively are in the process of turning the entire Middle East into, potentially, just another giant sized hotbed of Islamic fundamentalist states. If this goes on to its logical conclusion, a bloodbath of unprecedented proportions might be the upside. But way too many people just don't get it, on the right and the left. The left of course is beyond redemption, but the attitude of many on the right on this issue is just baffling. Beck at least gets it.

Guess Who Is Probably Running For President?

At least, according to Human Events, who claims that she will be. Well, technically, Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann is starting an exploratory committee that will evidently test the waters in New Hampshire and South Carolina. That is not a distinction without a difference, but it is the road must travelled to a run for the presidency. If all goes well, she will likely declare her candidacy in June, or maybe even sooner, according to this report which actually originated from CNN.

Yep, she would be one of my top picks. But you can almost count on media comparisons to Dennis Kucinich, who will almost inevitably be named as her Democratic counterpart in the coming primaries if Kucinich runs. My guess is though that those comparisons will be quickly forgotten once Bachmann starts out pulling ten or twenty percent of the vote, if not more.

Capitalism May Have Destroyed Life On Mars, Says Hugo Chavez





Well, that along with imperialism, according to Weasel Zippers. Its the kind of thing that almost writes its own punchline, and really, no further comment is necessary, but I will say this much. He is in a way almost, just slightly, on to something. Just maybe. Of course I'm not talking about the capitalism part, but let's face it, if there were life on Mars at any given time-and here I'm talking about sentient life, with consciousness and intelligence-they would have been living in a world that was far more precariously situated than is our own earth. Their ecosystem would have been weak, by nature of the relative smallness of the planet and its distance from the sun. Add to this the evident lack of any of the great, massive, and natural geological boundaries that separate our own continents, and diverse peoples, and you have a trifecta of disaster waiting to unfold, a situation where a rising and increasingly competitive group of peoples engaged in constant warfare and destruction might never have made it past their own bronze age. The wholesale slaughter not only of people, but of livestock, forests, and water supplies with the aim of destroying an enemy population, the constant situation of reprisals and counter-reprisals in a world that would have had meager resources to begin with, and little in the way of natural protection, might well have been devastating, and after so long, irreversible. It is something to think about.

Therefore, as foolish as many of Chavez's statements are, maybe in this case he has somewhat of a point, albeit one polluted with his ideologically poisoned attitudes. I know it might be hard to accept, but for just one example, try to picture the ancient Egyptians and the Babylonian Empires going at each other, or maybe the Punic Wars, the last one of which ended with Rome utterly destroying Carthage. Or even the Indian Wars in the US, or the Crusades, and the Islamic incursions into Europe that preceded and instigated them. Or you could even factor in a more recent time, such as WW II, and the Nazi blitzkriegs, particularly the war on the Russian Front.

Now picture any of that taking place, not on Earth, but on a small planet half our size, and twice the distance from the sun and you start to get the idea.
