God loves a Marine

I don’t know about the other guy…the congress critter.

It’s just amazes me that the left can be this out of touch.

This is in Washington, folks.

White man packing…

Especially if you watch the main stream media who made it seem that a white person showed up at an Obama rally with an assault rifle in tow. And then talked about white hate groups who may want to “hurt” Obama.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Really?

Video number one…

Ah, hmm..

Not even trying.

Disgusting.

C’mon, it’s like eight year olds are trying to feed this stuff to us.

I thought it would take a little longer before this administration buried itself. I thought — two years.

I was way off.

Idiot in Chief

Ok, I’m back.

Thought I’d take a break from the political stuff for a while and try to sort out my own life as an unemployed IT consultant and just have fun over at The Hostages.

Then you see something like this… Don’t even get me started on the leftie thugs trying to quash free speech as the democrats call for paid union fixers to stop ordinary citizens from having their say — while calling us “the mob.”

Really.

From the youtube comment thread:

Medicaid Payment Schedule 7/1/2009

27888 AMPUTATION, ANKLE, THROUGH MALLEOLI OF TIBIA AND $592.29

The assertion that surgeons get 30, 40, even 50,000 thousand dollars for a foot amputation is ridiculous. Cardiovassular surgeons performing quadruple bypass surgery don’t even make that much money.

More nonsense from the Big O.

OMG, facts.

There has never been a time in the history of our country that we have been lied to more often and given less opportunity for real Hope and Fucking Transparency –in such a short time.

Where did that last trillion dollars go?

“I will not sign a bill into law that will put our country into debt or increase our national deficit.”

Read my lips.

Oh, he’s not gonna raise taxes on the middle class either.

Right.

h/t Rosetta — he knows who he is. No link needed.

All I’m sayin’.

Call Your Dad.

He did all he could to make you a man, and was the first and best example of what a man should be.

For boys, our father was the man who could do anything, and would, especially if it would help you become a better man when you grew up.

For girls, Dad was the guy who would beat up any boy who was mean to you, even if you were in your 50’s, and dad was a doddering old fool who forgot to go to the bathroom before taking a piss.

So Call your Dad, and tell him you love him. Victims of molestation are exempt from this requirement.

About “The News” and “Bloggers.”

something that I’ve noticed about the news and blogs.

First, “The News” doesn’t give one damn about reporting, that’s obvious.  They are monday AM guys bitching around the water cooler, and telling stories about stupid stuff, and that is fine, but when it comes time to “inform the people,” later that day, just as you are puting on your moccasins and walking out the door, cuz HEY there’s a yankees game on or some crap (btw, I hate yankee’s fans who are not from NY) they almost act as though they are put upon by their audience for having to do their EFFING JOB!

You see Marines bitching as they charge a hill?  JUST BECAUSE IT IS THEIR EFFING JOB!?!?!    Oh all mil bitches, as a friend said “the military bill of rights makes it clear, our first right is to complain, our second right is to hate our duty station wishing for the last or the next, It’s in the book.”

But They DIE!  Reports tend to be rich, so you ain’t gonna find apologies from me about their actions.

Even on the sunday shows, which for some reason I watched today, the great reporters of the age phoned it in like they were 9-5er’s who’s job stopped at 5pm on friday.

Not one significant point was made about various political movements by the whitehouse (like the “no wiggers” thing and the extension of executive authority stuff) were expressed, and NONE of the historical analysis of sotomayor’s statements were addressed, it was all about how the right wing, rush and others, were “Using” her words against her.

SHE SAID THE GODDAMN WORDS!  Of course that is reasonable ammo.

Now, for Bloggers, I’m really not one, I’m a guy who spouts off every once in a while, but the serious ones, the serious bloggers, they don’t care if it’s 9 in the morning as they are getting coffee at the shop or 3AM at night as they are laying down to sleep.

The BLOGGERS, live in a 24/7 world, and they care about the issues and policies in the nation, the BLOGGERS! don’t give a DAMN! if they are late for a train because they have something to say and they EFFING SAY IT!

The press is filled with click clock, tick tock, ricky ticky BS nobodies acting superiour but only collecting a check.

The Bloggers actually care.

Update: ranom thing, about “using words” against someone.    That is like me running for a public against John J Haley, and him saying “well he called me an Effing piece of Effing Crap”   and then me deying those words.

Or me and Fonda oposing eachother in a debate and her saying I called her the C word.”

YOU BET YOUR ASS I DID, and they deserve it.  Words have meaning, especially when they are your words to a large group.

John? you are a piece of Effing Crap!

Jane? you are a C word

I know what my words mean, and I don’t take them back, why is it that libs are allowed to take crap back?  Reagen wasn’t allowed to, and in fact never wanted to.

He spoke as he did because that is what he believed.

It’s Sunday

Not just any sunday.

If you don’t know what makes this sunday special, they you are a selfish and stupid child, who should have the living snot beat out of you by your father.

Don’t care if you are 50 years old, and your dad is in his seventies, he should put you over his knee and spank the living crap out of you.

I grew up in a very liberal family,  I basicaly got away with murder, but there were 3 basic rules, “love your brother, never turn off dads music, and ALWAYS call home” on this day.

You Effers better be dialling  your phone and saying thank you, it’s your job, no matter how old you are IT’S YOUR EFFING JOB to call home today.

And tell your ma I said hi, I will catch her next week.

Hope and Fail

Amateur hour.

Un-fucking believable.

Day after Thanksgiving

first, let me say that the story of squanto, while not easy, WAS something that can be seen as a miracle.  The confluence of events that allowed the pilgrims to befriend local natives is something that is either an EXTRAORDINARILY darwinian mutation, or a miracle.

Anyways, my point.

Two links of people giving thanks and one link to someone who we should give thanks to.

First I give thanks Kazaia, a beautiful woman, who ACTUALLY supports the troops.

Next?  I give thanks to lizzie palmer. a young lady who loves America, and understand what it really is to support the troops.

Finaly, I give thanks to a 6 year old, who was a superhero for 2 days, and can teach MOST of us what it is to be noble, caring, kind and accepting.

Look at those people, look at their reactions, look at their stories and then look at yourselves.

If you still hate America, then let me give you this fact.  It’s not America’s fault, it is yours.

[inclusion]  I just woke up, and I had a dream where I went to one of the random meetups us online dorks have, and in that dream I met lizzie palmer.  I don’t think I have ever woken up feeling so good.

He will be The President.

      I Love this country.  I served this country, and the greatest regret in my life, greater than walking away from a few opportunities of marriage to wonderful women, is the fact that I did not re-enlist for selfish reasons.  To this day, almost 10 years later, I drink myself stupid, in fact, I will be due to drink myself stupid in just 3 days, cuz it’s “my” birthday, as I watch all of these other men, who didn’t cave into selfishness, and have stayed strong in service, and continue to serve.

     I Love this country.  And while I was a “Clinton Marine,”  I was still Marine, and Clinton was The President of The United States of America.

     And on jan 20th, I will still love this country, even though Barrack Obama will be The President of The United States of America.

      President Obama wasn’t my pick, any more than Clinton was, but he will be The President of The United States of America.

     That said.  All of these references I’m reading by conservative bloggers saying that Obama is a good man?  No.  I won’t say that.  Nor will I assume he is a bad man, or anything else.  Glenn has a roundup.

     I don’t think Obama is evil, but really, what kind of recommendation is that?  “You don’t kill puppies!”  of course he doesn’t, though I hear glenn drinks puppy milkshakes, can’t find the link right now, but really!!!  Obama doesn’t kill puppies!  Of course he doesn’t, he doesn’t even OWN A FUCKING PUPPY!

      What kind of man, with a family, and has the means doesn’t own a friggen pet?

      I don’t know, nor do you.

      Is Obama a good man?  Maybe, but you know what?

      I don’t know, nor do you.

      What kind of man, associates closely with a domestic terrorist?

      I don’t know, Nor do you.

      What kind of man, will throw his sick cancer ridden grandmother under the bus by calling her a typical white woman, while she is in the process of fighting off a life taking illness?

      I don’t know, I’ve never met anyone that cold blooded, and frankly nor have you. For the most part, anyone who has, and doesn’t, I think they are a John J Haley and they should stop clicking this site.

      What Kind of man, attends a church, with the intention of creating a closer communion with God in Gods house, and never notices that the guy who re-introduced him to Christianity, baptized his ki/ds, and married him to his wife, never notices that his preacher speaks more often about the damnation of America, than the grandeur of Gods love?  FOR 20 FUCKING YEARS!?  What kinda man, is that stupid?

       I don’t know, nor do you.

       What kind of man, engages in one sided discussions with a palestinian terrorist spokesman, without ever thinking “Hey! You are palestinian? you are a terrorist?  Maybe we shouldn’t be friends.”  But no, that didn’t happen, the LA times tells us, what kinda man would do that?

      I don’t know, nor do you.

 

      We succeeded in electing a man we know NOTHING about.  Everything we know about him is from his own words, he is an enigma, and . . . I hope not, but maybe, a Manchurian.   We elected an image, an empty image, there is nothing to him that we know.

      So no, I will not say that Obama is a “good man” and I think everyone who says he is, is a liar, trying to assuage their own sense of self righteousness.  I don’t know if he is a bad man, or a good man, in fact, I don’t know anything about him at all.

      Over the next four years, remember that obamatons, you elected . . . . nothing.

[something I read somewhere a few minutes ago:] Michael Crichton was a good man, Obama is a man, good for him.

We’re NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!Eleventy!

Chicago is Number one in the Nation, YAY!!

Almost double LA in murders!

Chicago is even better than Gary!

WHEEE!!!

Bring the Olympics Baby!

Wait.

Murder capital of the US?

Maybe thats not such a good thing.

[ed note: "We’re NUMBER 1!!!!!!!!Eleventy!" or as I learned from Mesa a few days ago.   "1!!!!!!!!!!!!!onezy!"  don't know why, just thought it was funny.]

Dick Durbin, MIGHT! be good Friends with John J. Haley

Dick Durbin really cares about the troops

 

When they are victims.

Poor poor servicemembers!  As you step out of the loving womb of your beloved mother and away from the protections of your loving and caring daddies to serve in the greatest fighting force this world has ever seen, why do we, as Americans forget that these are just stupid little infants?

Then again, not ALL servicemembers are poor poor servicemembers!  Some are Low and Vile murderers, Sadists, and Fools, taking advantage of the easily manipulated attitudes of their surrogate daddy, George Bush!

NOW! Servicemembers are EVIL! and must be denounced on the floor of the congress!

“I support the troops, who I don’t slander!”  Durbin, is now running on a pro-military commercial.

Granted, it’s chicago, so it won’t matter, but. . .

Does anyone else notice a difference?

I kinda do, but aparently I’m stupid for noticing this, since all of the local news media doesn’t, and they are just OH SO EFFING SMART!

Update:   Mesa?  Help a Brother out, should I just give up on the bracket embed stuff?  none of my previous are coming through but yours are, just go with straight code nextime?

LATE question:  did durbin support schiavo when SHE was in a vegetative state?  Or only when government employed union emplyees could proffit off of veterans in vegetative states?  (see first link)

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels — caught red handed

Not the Hope and Change that Obama claims to have known.  Right.

Remember this disgusting smear suggesting that Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party?

It was bandied all over the blogosphere by those compassionate creatures of the left, supposedly created by concerned citizens — more than a week after the New York Times had to retract it’s horribly misreported story.

It claims that Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaskan Independence Party and cites The New York Times for that source. Then it quotes the founder of that Party with some pretty outrageous statements.

But here’s what FactCheck.org says about that:

[Sarah Palin] was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.And The New York Times was forced to retract their earlier claim that Palin was a member of the party, blaming the error on the party’s chair. That retraction was published Sept. 3rd, 8 days before the video was first made publicly available.

The crack team at The Jawa Report…

Our research suggests that a subdivision of one of the largest public relations firms in the world most likely started and promulgated rumors about Sarah Palin that were known to be false. These rumors were spread in a surreptitious manner to avoid exposure.

It is also likely that the PR firm was paid by outside sources to run the smear campaign. While not conclusive, evidence suggests a link to the Barack Obama campaign. Namely:

* Evidence suggests that a YouTube video with false claims about Palin was uploaded and promoted by members of a professional PR firm.

* The family that runs the PR firm has extensive ties to the Democratic Party, the netroots, and are staunch Obama supporters.

* Evidence suggests that the firm engaged in a concerted effort to distribute the video in such a way that it would appear to have gone viral on its own. Yet this effort took place on company time.

* Evidence suggests that these distribution efforts included actions by at least one employee of the firm who is unconnected with the family running the company.

* The voice-over artist used in this supposedly amateur video is a professional.

* This same voice-over artist has worked extensively with David Axelrod’s firm, which has a history of engaging in phony grassroots efforts, otherwise known as “astroturfing.”

* David Axelrod is Barack Obama’s chief media strategist.

* The same voice-over artist has worked directly for the Barack Obama campaign.

This suggests that false rumors and outright lies about Sarah Palin and John McCain being spread on the internet are being orchestrated by political partisans and are not an organic grassroots phenomenon led by the left wing fringe. Our findings follow.

And then…poof! The videos start coming down.

Heh, why on earth would that happen?

Michelle Malkin has screenshots of the YouTube accounts before Axelrod’s buddies/PR firm deleted them.

Cover-up, anyone?

Don’t these guys know that it’s not the lie that gets you caught — it’s the cover-up.

It was only minutes after Ace and Rusty posted about this that the original YouTube accounts that were created solely for the purpose of pushing this smear video started getting scrubbed.

Guilty much?

Please go read the entire account of the investigation and it’s findings at The Jawa Report.

Just a Link

I don’t agree, necessarily with the descriptions in the next to last paragraph, and the last paragraph is a little 60’s dream back to earth communal, but I thought it was a very entertaining article, and a lot of the details I can relate to somewhat.

My town used to be like that (to a much lesser degree) when I was a kid, hell, there is an insanely popular Christmas Story about something very much like what is being described in this article.

There’s a few raunchy phrases, but in general it’s just good old fashioned classic American melting pot.

“The Old Neighborhood.“

Found At Rand Simbergs place.

The Palin Thing Reminds Me of Something.

As we all know Sarah Palin’s yahoo account was “hacked.”

I hope the guy goes to jail.

I hope he pisses and shits himself on live television when he gets sentenced.

I hope that Obama gets called out for the fact that while he doesn’t lend his name to those efforts, he is directly responsible for causing these acts by promotion and incitement, by using tactics identified by the son of a self defined radical.

and the defense of this little punk, not just by other lefty wackjobs(note, talk left is one of the more honest left sites, 4 stories on lipstic, 2 on tanning beds, none on a gross violation of privacy by a pathetic little manboy who’s daddy will pull him out of a felony, NONE) , but by the supposedly sober media, makes me think of how John J. Haley is a Piece of Fucking Shit.

Just thinking about that made me giggle.

Can a Christianist help me out here?

What is a fundamentalist Christian?

I, sorta kinda raised in a Catholic environment, always understood that the “fundamentals” of christianity was the acceptance of Jesus, as the Christ and Lord, and that we are all Sinners, and that through The Christ, Jesus, we are forgiven our sins.

are there any more fundamentals that I’m missing?  Or are there a few thousand pages missing from my bible?

Also, I’m sure most of you guys know, I’m an atheist, so this is an honest question.

Because I don’t believe that vitriolic lefty’s know what fundamentalist christians believe

Update: I’m an atheist, but I am comfortable with that moniker because of my understanding of the will of god through my somewhat sorta catholic upbringing.  I can live a good life, and apologize for those things that I have done wrong, and be forgiven if I am wrong.  I think that my not exactly, but somewhat related to my upbringing that is associated with Catholocism has given me a firm grasp of right and wrong, even though I don’t think that there is an all knowing and caring individual sitting on high messing with my life, or the lives of others.   So, I try to live a good life, a kind life, and when I don’t I feel bad and I beg forgiveness from those I might have wronged.  It’s easy to be an atheist, if you realize that a good and proper god, doesn’t mind, as long as you follow his perfectly reasonable edicts (christian, not Joo.)

He had a Lot to say

The right are the fascists according to the artists.

You told us how you weren’t afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don’t cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We’ll miss him.

And they continue.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I’m so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don’t you fuckin lie.

I’m a big fan of Tool, and A Perfect Circle.

Do you think that they ever thought that their words of fascistic dominance would ever be used against their own favored party?

I don’t think so, but It IS Obama that they are describing, more than any right winger who they hated.

Delusion is a sad situation, I know.

Obama Worked with the. . . community.

Or something.

Wisconsin Steel, was fucked as soon as the socialist policies of the 60’s and 70’s caught up with them, as described in minor, at the National Review here.

But the real problems with Wisconsin Steel, the ONLY raw metal steel mill in the Chicago area, was the oppressive government and Union protections that made it IMPOSSIBLE for wisconsin steel to make money, as described here.

Originaly, Winsconsin Steel was a VERY valid mill, because of their access to the great lakes, which Northwest Indiana had yet to attain, because NW Indiana was still made up of Swamps, and Ice floats at the time of Wisconsin’s creation, in the 1880’s.

SINCE Wisconsin Steel Shut down, LTV, Bethlehem, US Steel, and others in the NW Indiana area also shut down, thing is, that ALL of the NWI (NorthWest Indiana) mills have re-opened, because Indiana doesn’t tax and tax and tax and tax and tax like Illinois, in general, and Chicago in specific do.

It isn’t TRADE that destroyed the mills, it’s the socialists like Obama that destroyed it, with the ignorant acceptance of foolish union managers driving the mill into the ground.

Obama?  You worked with the “Chicago Mills.”  when it’s actually, Mill, as in singular, you FAILED!  Indiana succeeded.

Thank god, while my part of Indy is lib, It’s not retarded.

I lost track, but Obama didn’t help one fucking person who lost their job at Wisconsin Steel.

Not a ONE!  If anyone did, it was Tom McDermit Sr.

MSNBC’s Business Model

I believe this is an artistic rendering of Keith Olbermann granting a boon to Obama.

I could be wrong, but the audience does not look happy.

Inartful

But not exactly incorrect.  

Obama said,

“Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress.”

I can actually sorta kinda understand this position.  Though Obama, the articulate one, is too stupid to phrase it properly.

I’m opposed to abortion, thats why I always pull out no matter what contraception is uses, YOU ARE WELCOME LADIES, I don’t want kids, I’m not prepared for kids, and I have no intention of having any, Why?  Cuz I’m a coward.

Anyways, I don’t want any kids, but Abortion is Murder.  It is.  I’m not in favor of making Abortion illegal, I’m in favor of abortion being safe, legal and HUMILIATING! which will make it rare.  If you had an abortion, you killed a child, is it an option (not a right, and OPTION) available thanks to modern medicine?  Yes, are you still killing a child? YES!

It is not the presidents perogative to outlaw abortion, so that shouldn’t even be an argument, and if you argue that the courts might overturn RVW then how about you lobby your flogging state legislature, or your federal reps to allow it in the legislature, rather than begging a group, lets say a Party, perhaps a polit bureau, to represent and create your “rights?”

Now Obama is right, it is also not the presidents perogative to outlaw guns, it’s the legislative branch’s duty to act as though the second ammendment is just words, and to be overturned by a truly constitutional judiciary. 

What obama screwed up with, was saying “I DON’t Have the votes.”  How does he know he doesn’t have the votes?  I thought he was post-partisan, he can work with anyone, I thought he could mend the division in the nation, I thought he was the obamassiah who can cure the worlds ill’s by invocation?

What?  He admitted he can’t without a fillibuster proof partisan majority?  But, but, uhh, yeah, uh, well, uh, guns, uh, judges uh well, yah, sooooooooo, uh.

(tired and needed to toss up a post, pardon the poor formulation.)

Update:  I should add, that my opinions aren’t this extreme, they aren’t far off, but I just took a more extreme stance when I was putting this up.  Just wanted to make that clear, I still mean what I said, I justs would moderate my language a little.

A thought,

“Why Do We Like Palin?

Various reasons, but one I think is that millions of Americans are simply tired of being lectured at by smug elites.”

I disagree, I mentioned over at my/our retardblog I was bitching and moaning a bit, about how I can only be proud of certain things as long as it was a woman who represented them, but that isn’t the reason that I like Palin most.  In fact, the sentiment I share in that comment is actualy an attack on myself for caving into the lefty canard.

What Motivates me about palin has nothing to do with her skirt (though girl got gams) or her breasts (I bet they are as beautiful if not as pristine as Mt. Mckinley) It’s because she is the first Reagen era republican to be on the presidential ticket.

The Dem’s are always gonna run on vietnam, “stop the war,” idiocy, on BS free-love feminism, on Summer of love, communist ideals prevalent in the late 60’s and early 70’s, including earthday, and evil evil greed.

Palin Is the first one on the national ticket who was not old enough to have grown up with that bullshit as a defining moment, and doesn’t lie about it.  Obama’s young enough to be the same, but there’s just something about 63-74 that makes Democrats Cream like “Greased Lightning.”  He can’t be post summer of love, let alone post partisan.

Palin, as a conservative, can approach stupid questions grounded in 60’s ideology just like anyone who’s experience is Late Seventies, early eighty’s with responses Agent Johnsonesque. When questioned about Vietnam, because those are the only questions that the reporters can ask about war.

“MAN! this reminds me of Vietnam! how about you?”FBI Spc Agent Johnson

“I was in 6th grade asshole” Agent Johnson.

It’s high time that we stop basing our internal and external policies on the vietnam war, and Only reagen was strong enough to do that.  Palin being Post Vietnam can do it now, and it’s about flogging time!

Also She’s hot.

and for you female readers, I understand her husband, too, is hot.  Heard the “Todd the Bod” moniker passed around.
