A defector from the Democratic Party, a defector to where, is another story.
Author: Patrick
Short Bio: I started blogging about politics in 2006, as a populist, skeptical left of center type, with a blog called simply, "The Populist."
I suspect, but cannot prove; that my blog might have been hacked by some evil neoconservatives. I cannot prove that at all and also too, around the same time. Hackers from China where attacking wordpress blogs. I believe either the Neocons or the Chinese got my site. I don't know honestly know which.
Either way, by 2007, I began to see that I really did not fit within the Democrat Party and liberal circles and after my blog was hacked; I created a blog called "Political Byline" and I kept writing; first as a Centrist and then as a Conservative Populist
For my long bio, see the "About Me" section on this blog.
I have thought about doing it for a very long time now. I was never really happy with the blog’s name. The whole “Thinking Americanist” sounded clunky and a bit lame. So, I have dropped the “thinking” part and shortened it to simply, “The Americanist.”
Now as for the subtitle or what this blog is about; I know some people, especially among the Neoconservative right will assume that this blog is now a White Nationalist blog. Which, of course, is a load of malarkey. I am not, nor have I ever been, a White Nationalist. David Duke and his friends have that street corner covered very well, thank you very much.
However, I am, without one shred of guilt, an American Nationalist. (Also see this too) Which simply means, that I love my Country. Nothing more and nothing less.
I hope that you that do actually read here will continue to do so.
Just some quick housekeeping. I decided to delete the “Daily Rant” video that I made here a few days ago.
For one, I looked awful in that video and for two; after reviewing the video there were some things that I said in that video that could have been taken the wrong way.
So, I deleted it.
I might make one in the future, but now, I am just not interested in Videos.
The dirty little not-so-secret behind President Obamaâs much-lobbied-for, illegal and strategically incompetent war against Syria is that itâs not about Syria at all. Itâs about Iranâand Israel. And it has been from the start.
By âthe start,â I mean 2011, when the Obama administration gradually became convinced that it could deal Iran a mortal blow by toppling President Bashar al-Assad of Syria, a secular, Baathist strongman who is, despite all, an ally of Iranâs. Since then, taking Iran down a peg has been the driving force behind Obamaâs Syria policy.
Not coincidentally, the White House plans to scare members of Congress into supporting the ill-conceived war plan by waving the Iranian flag in their faces. Even liberal Democrats, some of whom are opposing or questioning war with Syria, blanch at the prospect of opposing Obama and the Israel lobby over Iran.
It should not surprise anyone that the Neoconservatives, lead by AIPAC have supported and advocating for this sort of a conflict. Which will cause another war in the region. Hopefully, the GOP and the Democrats will have the sense to tell AIPAC to please piss off and find someone else to fight their wars for them.
What gets me is that the establishment left is against this whole thing and yet, Obama is dead set on doing this; what an idiot! I mean, Obama must be bound and determined to ruin his party’s chances of being reelected in 2014 and 2016.
Now for what this mental midget did: (via Florida Today)
Attorneys for a man who police said shot three people at the culmination of a neighborhood feud have filed a motion demanding a jury determine whether William T. Woodwardâs murder charges should be dismissed under Floridaâs Stand Your Ground law.
The motion says Woodward had been the target of a variety of threats and âexercised his right under Florida law to defend himself and his family that night.â
âItâs probably best that you donât make threats against people, they may take you seriously,â said Robert Berry, an attorney representing Woodward.
Officials say Woodward snuck up on a Labor Day barbecue and opened fire at about 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 3, 2012. Police arrived and found Gary Lee Hembree, Roger Picior and Bruce Timothy Blake all had been shot. Hembree and Picior died of their injuries. Blake, who was hit 11 times, survived.
Woodward, 44, is accused of two counts of first-degree felony murder and attempted first-degree felony murder.
Before the incident, police had responded numerous times to the ongoing dispute, according to a release. Woodward and Hembree went to court to discuss the dispute before Judge John D. Moxley. Moxley did not issue an injunction.
The motion filed by Woodwardâs attorneys says in the hours prior to the shooting, all three men were yelling at Woodward and that this type of behavior had been ongoing for over a month.
In the hours before the shooting, the men called him names, and said âCome on boys. Weâre going to get him. Weâre going to get him, all three of us.â
Florida law allows people to use deadly force to protect against âimminent death orâŚprevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony.â
Basically, what happened was this: This dude snuck up on these people in full Military fatigues and opened fire on a family and some friends —- while they were eating. The only thing this slime ball piece of crap needs to be doing, is to become the resident “pivot man” at the prison circle jerk. đĄ
and that ain’t the worst of it, there is this too:
Woodwardâs attorneys argue that an attack could have been expected based on the words of his neighbors. They go on to mention the âBush Doctrine,â a concept that justifies a pre-emptive attack based on the need to defend from a threat.
The “Bush Doctrine”?!?!? WOW. Just…wow. đŻ
Of course, there is this:
Melbourne attorney Kepler Funk said it was âvalidâ that Woodward would want an independent jury to make this decision rather than a judge, but felt it was unlikely the court would convene one for this pretrial hearing.
âItâs novel for sure, and Iâm all for thinking outside the box, so I commend him for that,â he said. âI donât know the courtâs going to grant the motion though.â
In other words, this idiot has a snowball’s chance in hell in getting his case thrown out. I do not give a flying flip what someone is doing to you; teasing you, calling your momma a hoe or whatever — you cannot just sneak up on someone and empty a clip on them. That is not how it works. What works is IGNORING the persons doing this or MOVE!
I swear, I am seriously starting to wonder about people in society today! đ
