The Ingrates of Wrath

Well, Obama’s army is at it again, both in the streets of Washington, and the editorial meetings of the Associated Press.  This time we find terrorists damaging critical infrastructure that our economy depends upon.  Why?  Because one group of union thugs is upset that their strike (or whatever, I don’t care) was upended by — wait for it — the hiring of different union workers.  Ooh, those filthy capitalist yankee running dogs! How dare those pigs hire people from a different union?

Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.

Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after … Continue reading →

Hey House: Ditch Obama's Jobs Speech

[UPDATE: Mother Jones writer says no need to watch… see below]
House Republicans are deserting the Obama jobs speech scheduled for Thursday evening.  They simply won’t attend.   Speaker John Boehner, who stuffed the President on his blatant attempt to summon Congress to sit before him, has now decided that the flimsy $300 billion half-hearted jobs speech is not worth rebutting.  An increasing number of NBC affiliates won’t even show the speech itself, opting instead to stick with their regularly scheduled Saints-Packers pre-game show.  It’s a sham, and they know it.  Obama knows it, and he thinks that we are too dumb.  He wants to use the Congress as a political prop, and some in Congress aren’t having any of it.

Soulja Boy Attempts Apology–Accepted, With Comment

Perhaps you’ve heard of the furore surrounding comments by a rapper about the military.  I hadn’t, and I don’t care what most useless art-ticks think.  I was somewhat impressed, however, with the attempted apology from this guy “Soulja Boy”, in that it sounded mostly sincere.  Oh, he gets in his Bush-bashing and his mistaken notions about poverty or unemployment being caused by defense spending (I thought federal spending created — oh nevermind).  But for all his misjudgements and subsequent bad advice in rough rhyme, he does seem to genuinely regret at least part of this unhappy episode, and not just the catching some serious death stares from the military part.

At one point he rapped “f*** the troops” in a song or something (how the Hell would I … Continue reading →

Sources: Obama Administration To Drop Troop Levels In Iraq To 3,000 | FoxNews.com

Obama’s purse chihuahua yaps about disastrous U.S. troop levels in Iraq.

A senior military official said by reducing the number of troops to 3,000, the White House has effectively reduced the mission to training only.

“There is almost no room for security operations in that number; it will be almost purely a training mission,” this official said. The official added that a very small number of troops within that 3,000 will be dedicated to counter-terrorism efforts, but that’s not nearly what Gen. Lloyd Austin, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, wanted.

This shift is seen by various people as a cost-saving measure and a political measure. White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday that the U.S. has operated responsibly to meet the year-end deadline to remove troops from … Continue reading →

Hoffa Shoots Eight, Kills Three!

Now where is the cowardly and dishonest New York Times?  They rushed to pin the Loughner shootings on Sarah Palin, and hid behind a fusillade of excuses.  I will never forget their snivelling attempt to explain their wrongdoing, entitled Time, The Enemy.  As if those SOBs are the only people to work on a deadline.  The problem is that there is no deadline for smearing conservatives–that’s an internal goal, not a requirement of publication.

The real problem is that they focus on interpreting, rather than reporting.  Everything must go into the narrative, or it is rejected.  They felt that they could not report on the Loughner shooting without somehow pinning it on conservatives, because a prominent victim was a popular Democrat.

Notice that no matter how many … Continue reading →

The Undiscerning and Dangerous Appreciation of Ron Paul

By | | , , ,
Leave a comment

Here’s a scorching article describing why Ron Paul is a coward and a liar.  He refuses to clean out his camp, and he purports to hold  a set of views which are so miserably inconsistent that it cannot be an innocent mistake.  One cannot love liberty enough to act for it without hating tyranny enough to act against it.  Ron Paul does not actually love liberty–he merely hates an unusual grouping of people.

One can not spend thirty years connected to holocaust-deniers, anti-semites, and explicit anarchists without red flags going up.  For what it is worth, I do not believe Ron Paul is a holocast denier or an anti-semite.  I think he is worse.  I think he is a coward.  Ron Paul knows full well that his closest … Continue reading →

The Insanity of Chaz Bono and Her Mother

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Chaz Bono is a mentally ill woman who has been mutilated by talented but twisted doctors. This process of “gender re-assignment” is a cultural phenomenon and a sign that we live in some very sick times. People become convinced of many things which are not true, but this does not obligate doctors to perform surgery in honor of such madness.

I wrote about this several years ago, in the case of a Florida city manager:

This is no simple personal elective surgery that Steve Stanton has chosen. It is not like removing an appendix before journeying to Antarctica, or having those tonsils out after a series of non-specific illnesses. Those are procedures which rational arguments can be mustered both for and against. The procedure … Continue reading →

Blaming Obama is a popular pastime around here. Around my keyboard, that is. Yes, he’s a Marxist, no he’s never accomplished anything, and maybe his anti-Americanism is manifest, but perhaps it’s merely latent. His economics are disastrous and unyielding, his foreign policy is disastrous and always yielding, and he either does not understand how to protect America or does not care to do so. His obsequious bowing and kowtowing will be remembered long after his “historic” status is forgotten.  Someday a black President who doesn’t hate blacks will be elected by Americans who don’t hate America. He is nothing.

[pullquote]America deserves Obama.[/pullquote]The real problem is America itself, and we fool ourselves by thinking that electing a majority here, taking the executive chair … Continue reading →

Fatwa Against Ron Paul

By | | , , , , ,
Leave a comment

[dc]I[/dc] direct your attention to the excellent and overlooked article  The Case Against Ron Paul by Gregory Hilton.  He goes to some length puncturing the inflated claims and exposing the outright falsehoods made by the Ron Paul crowd.

Make no mistake, among other complaints, Ron paul is:

  • a third-party spoiler
  • an isolationist
  • a protectionist
  • an open borders advocate
  • anti-Israel

Don’t take my word for it.  Read the backing facts on Hilton’s blog.

Ron Paul subscribes to a number of conspiracy theories, and has a snake-handling literalist’s view of the Constitution.  I’m a staunch originalist, but that does not mean I view the only valid means of defending our country to be the issuance of “letters of marque and reprisal”.  To Ron Paul, that’s exactly what it means.

Gibson Guitar Stamp Act

[dc]T[/dc]his is tyranny, folks. 

Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding factories and offices in Memphis and Nashville, seizing several pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. The Feds are keeping mum, but in a statement yesterday Gibson’s chairman and CEO, Henry Juszkiewicz, defended his company’s manufacturing policies, accusing the Justice Department of bullying the company. “The wood the government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council certified supplier,” he said, suggesting the Feds are using the aggressive enforcement of overly broad laws to make the company cry uncle.

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 … Continue reading →
