Video: Second look at George Will?

Wow….

On the other hand, Susie Madrak needs to seriously look into changing her tampon.

Kudos to Patterico

For bring courageous enough to call this sort of stupidity here out.

Yeah, I know Chuckles Johnson did too; broken clock is right at least once a day. But he’s still quite the fascist, and idiot! 😡

Yeah, I know, I know…. Pat him on the back one day and kick him in the butt the next… Hey, it’s what I do. 😉

 

 

A followup on an previous entry

Now before I begin this, let me state for the record, that this is not a walk back of any sort, but rather a followup to an older posting.

It appears that when I posted my entry titled, “It’s a damned shame” that I did not have all of the information related to what was going on.

It does seem that a particular person does have a bit of a problem; and that problem is hate. For the record; yes, I did check out his timeline and yes, I did see some stuff that, yes, even bothered me.

Let me also state that I am one of the most open minded persons in the World. I even have been known to stick my own size 12 foot in my own mouth during the heat of the battle and I have ended up apologizing for it afterward too.

However, when I see someone joking about one of the biggest players in the Jewish Holocaust and thinking that it is actually funny — that is a problem.  Please Note: I am not a rabid anything and I tend to keep in open mind. However, what happened during that time period is not funny or even something that should be even remotely joked about, at all. If one does this, it does, in my mind; bring into question one’s motives and — quite bluntly, their sanity.

Anyone that knows me and anything about my blogs that I have ran for the last 8 years; knows that I have been a “Tell it like it is, shoot from the hip” type of a guy. However, I also happen to be someone, who has a build-in moral compass. When that moral compass senses evil and wrong; I head in the opposite direction. This is what happened here and this is why I blocked said person mentioned in the blog posting linked to in this blog posting here. I also blocked a few of his friends too.

I tend to make a point to stay out of blog disputes and wars.  But, I do not wish to be associated with those who traffic in hate. Not after what happened to me a few years ago. No way, No how.

 

 

 

Don’t mince words now Mac, tell us how you really feel!

Remind me never, ever to upset Mac over at Macsmind:

Perhaps it’s just that Chief Justice Roberts is a fucking moral coward who should be brought before congress, drawn and quartered. There is no room on the court for such a spineless piece of crap.

You wouldn’t think he is a little upset would you? 😯

 

Charles Foster Johnson thinks we Christian people are spooky!

I hate to be the one to do this sort of a thing. But our resident pompous asshat has written stupidity again:

My jaw hit the floor when I read this headline. “Center-right?” They have got to be kidding. Breitbart.com has been busily promoting every lunatic far right conspiracy theory that bubbles up from the toxic Tea Party base, including Birtherism. And Drudge Report? You mean the site that has a permanent link to Alex Jones’ whacked-out conspiracy site and frequently features their insane stories? This is “center right” now?

Now while he might be right about the center-right thing. His whole bigotry towards Christians shines though:

Ladies and gentlemen — the new “center right.” And this selection is just a fraction of the hatred in this thread, of course. I didn’t quote the dozens of commenters calling Obama “the Antichrist” and “Satan.”

Satan, Anti-Christ? Oh my! Christians speaking their minds. Spoooooky….. 😯

Cue the music clip!

and by the way Chuckles Johnson:

Sometimes my sarcasm is so good, I amaze myself. 😛

It’s a damned shame

I was wondering what this crack up on the right on twitter was all about.

This right here explains all of it.

It’s a damn shame that everyone on side; myself included —- cannot just get the hell along and work together for a common purpose. However, knowing politics like I do, I realize that there are personalities and differences of opinion. Like I seem to have with the majority of the so-called “right” in this country.

Either way, it’s a damned shame that these two could not see eye to eye and could have worked together for a common good on the right for our cause.

Take it from an 40 year old fogie: this is nothing new. The right has always had it’s spats. Neo-cons against paleo, establishment against grassroots, beltway versus heartland — it’s always been like that. ideological purists versus the rest.

I have seen this all and been a part of some of it, in the last eight years that I have been writing about politics. The more things change, the more they stay the same. 30 years ago, it’s was magazines and articles. Now, it’s blogs and twitter.

…and that my good friends is the wonderful thing about a free Republic. We can have differences with our Government, with each other, with our politics and we can air our differences in print; on twitter, on blogs and not have live in fear for our lives, like they do in China, in Iran, and in North Korea.

I think that those who go to battle, like this; ought to ponder the stuff I have wrote above, just once and ask themselves, is this war worth breaking up a movement over something as trivial as a comment made? Surly we can do better than this.

Not to get all powdered hair and historical about it, but…. Surely gentleman, we can do better for the sake of the preservation of our Republic and the fight to keep it!

Just a thought, from an old man.

A special thank you!

To my friend Chris Muir, who makes the wonderfully awesome Day by Day cartoon.

Chris answered my pitiful plea for donations with a nice donation of $20.00

You can read Chris’s cartoons at his website or look over in my right side bar and check out the latest one there.

Fun Fact: I started reading Day by Day, when I was still quite firmly in the Democratic Party camp. I found his comic quite amusing. I still do, more so now, than I ever did.

Chris is simply returning the favor; I have donated to his cause a few times and even bought ads on his site, until they went up to $5.00 a slot over on project wonderful.

Again, to Chris; thank you buddy! It will come in handy! 😀

 

Video: Glenn Beck says that the Legacy of SCOTUS decision on Obamacare is George W. Bush’s legacy

I ought the same thing earlier about the Obamacare ruling: (H/T to AllahPundit)

DrewM over at Ace of Spades is just as blunt:

Dear GOP,

This is your last chance. If you blow this, I’m out and you need to be destroyed.

What is it? Repeal ObamaCare on Day 1. Don’t worry about replace, don’t worry about anything else. We will do everything we have to drag your sorry asses over the line this fall, including electing Mitt Fucking Romney.

In return this is what you will do:

Instead of adjourning for pictures and tea and cake to celebrate getting your pathetic asses elected to 2 or 6 years on the government teet, you will immediately pass a one line bill that says, “The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (and whatever statute number has to be included) is hereby repealed.”

That’s it. Nothing more, nothing less.

Since Congress meets before Inauguration Day, Obama will still be President. Simply hold the legislation at the desk so the 10 day pocket veto clock doesn’t start. If other parliamentary BS is needed, just do it.

Then as soon as Mitt takes the oath of office, before his speech no one will care or remember, walk the bill up to him at the podium to sign.

If this does not happen, the GOP must be destroyed and a new party built to replace it. We’ve tried the carrot approach (votes, money, volunteers) to change your behavior. Now it’s time to show you the stick.

No more, “oh the other guys are worse” scare tactics. That might be true but it doesn’t mean you are any good.

This is your one job, do it or join the Whig Party in the dustbin of history.

I have to say that I do agree with all of the above. This is what happens when Conservatives and Republican settle for what they can get, instead of what they want to elect. I will say this, as the resident skeptical libertarian of the Blogosphere; if you all think that Mittens is going to rip out Obamacare, you are going to be in for a huge let down. Moderates always settle and compromise, they never take a stand, ever.

As I wrote earlier; from now until election day, is going to be very interesting.

Obamacare to stand says SCOUTS

Well, this was not what I was hoping to wake up to hearing on my 40’th birthday.

The Memeoradum round up is here.

The link round up is here: (H/T to Drudge)

Now for what I think: I believe this to be the biggest set back in American freedom since the McCarthy hearings and the red scare of the 1950’s. I guess I should not surprised, the this out of control federal behemoth that we call Government has always valued the idea of a tax on the American people.   I will comment on one thing that I read over at the Weekly Standard, that I linked to above:

It is understandable why President Obama has no interest in framing this election as a referendum on Obamacare. His party already suffered perhaps its worst defeat since the 19th century thanks to his centerpiece legislation. With the Supreme Court’s ruling now behind him, he will have even less incentive to remind voters about Obamacare going forward. As far as he’s concerned, the less the American people think about it, the better.

This means, of course, that the more they think about it, the better it will be for Mitt Romney.  It also means (of course) that Romney should encourage them to think about it, reminding them at every turn that this election isn’t merely — or even principally — about the economy; that it’s about something bigger; that we need to repeal Obamacare and replace it with real reform.  And he should convey to them what real reform would look like, thereby bringing into the fold those independents who don’t want to go back to the pre-Obamacare status quo.  He should start playing to win people’s votes, instead of merely trying not to lose them.

Yes, the fate of Obamacare will be the most important outcome of this election.  On some level, the American people know this.  There’s a reason why Romney gets standing ovations simply for mentioning repeal.

The question is whether either candidate will convey that he knows what this election is really about.  Obama can’t say it’s about Obamacare — even though that’s what he considers it to be about — because he’ll lose if he does.  Romney so far hasn’t said it’s about Obamacare — perhaps because that’s not what he considers it to be about — even though he’ll likely win if he does. 

Regardless, the Court has cleared the field. The stakes are historic. The citizenry will decide.

Yes, and you can bet that Barack Obama will have a army of lawyers to make sure that he remains President too. In fact, that is just what the Boston Globe is reporting:

OLYMPIA, Wash.—President Barack Obama’s campaign has recruited a legion of lawyers to be on standby for this year’s election as legal disputes surrounding the voting process escalate.

Thousands of attorneys and support staffers have agreed to aid in the effort, providing a mass of legal support that appears to be unrivaled by Republicans or precedent. Obama’s campaign says it is particularly concerned about the implementation of new voter ID laws across the country, the possibility of anti-fraud activists challenging legitimate voters and the handling of voter registrations in the most competitive states.

Republicans are building their own legal teams for the election. They say they’re focused on preventing fraud — making sure people don’t vote unless they’re eligible — rather than turning away qualified voters.

Since the disputed 2000 presidential election, both parties have increasingly concentrated on building legal teams — including high-priced lawyers who are well-known in political circles — for the Election Day run-up. The Bush-Gore election demonstrated to both sides the importance of every vote and the fact that the rules for voting and counting might actually determine the outcome. The Florida count in 2000 was decided by just 537 votes and ultimately landed in the Supreme Court.

This year in that state alone, Obama and his Democratic allies are poised to have thousands of lawyers ready for the election and hope to have more than the 5,800 attorneys available four years ago. That figure was nearly twice the 3,200 lawyers the Democrats had at their disposal in 2004.

Romney has been organizing his own legal help for the election. Campaign attorney Ben Ginsberg did not provide numbers but said the campaign has been gratified by the “overwhelming number of attorneys who have volunteered to assist.”

“We will have enough lawyers to handle all situations that arise,” he said.

The GOP doesn’t necessarily need to have a numerical counterweight to Obama’s attorneys; the 2000 election showed that experienced, connected lawyers on either side can be effective in court.

Believe me when I tell you; President Barack Obama and the left have been emboldened by this decision and they will stop at nothing to remain in power. Furthermore, the President knows that if he is to protect Obamacare and everything else he and Congress have worked for; they will have to win the election. So, if you all think that Obama and Co. are just going to let White America, which, by proxy will be represented by Mitt Romney —- roll over them and defeat them, you are crazy. They are now going to be emboldened to, in figurative sense — of course — fight to the death to protect everything that they have worked for in the last 3 years.

Putting it in “Southwest Detroit ghetto” terms: things just got very real. The Republicans must know, the kiddie stuff just ended, and now the real fight is now underway. From today, till election day is going to be a bare knuckle brawl. I just hope that the right; bloggers, writers, news people and the politicos know what they are in for. I also hope they know how to fight it, without getting overly stupid and letting their words and actions get them into trouble. This is not 1957 and if they fight like it is, they will lose and lose badly.

Needless to say, it is going to be a very interesting next couple of months.

More of Charles Foster Johnson’s blatant hypocrisy

Quoting the head lizard:

There it is, folks. A naked admission that the purpose of making it more difficult to vote is to tilt elections toward the Republican Party. The people most affected by Voter ID laws are the ones most likely to vote Democratic; it’s a simple equation.

That’s the end game for all of these bogus “vote fraud” allegations: if they can whip up enough fear over non-existent vote fraud, they’ll be able to pass laws restricting who can vote.

And the fewer people who vote, the better for the Republican Party.

via Little Green Footballs – PA Republican Leader Admits: The Fewer People Who Vote, the Better for the GOP.

You sure were not bitching about that, when that was working for President George W. Bush  —- were you Chuckles?

Yes, I have read your archives; in fact, I have read everything from 2004 and 2000 and I fail to find anything of the sort about George W. Bush; of whom you supported.

But now that there is a black Democrat in the White House, according to you —- the Republican Party is now the corrupt party of voter suppression. 🙄

You sanctimonious twit, you are such a hypocrite that it is spewing from your ears and you know it.
