A liberal fudges the facts a bit

Like I have written on here many, many times before. I hate like the devil to get into fights in the Blogsophere.  But again, I find a stupid liberal shooting off at the mouth, when he does not have a flipping clue what the hell he is even taking about.

First off, go watch this video and then come back here.

Okay you done? Good.

It appears that some liberals watched this show as well. A David Neiwert, who writes at crooks and liars; which is a very well known socialist liberal blog. Which is run by some idiot out in California.

Mr. Neiwert is entitled to his opinion, but he is not entitled to his own set of facts.

He writes:

Um, Ms. Fritsch, you need to avail yourself some history books too. It was conservatives who argued for maintaining slavery before the Civil War. It was conservatives who insisted after the war that blacks be denied the full rights of citizenship,

Whoa! Hold on a second there Jackson Brown! That sir is a falsehood, which has been perpetuated by the Democrats for years…. and it is flat wrong. Here is a video, made by the non-partisan discovery channel:

Matter of fact, here is a video; which was most likely produced by someone in the south, that says basically the same thing about the “Radical Republicans.”

He also says:

and who erected the system of Jim Crow, who led rope-bearing lynch mobs that crucified thousands of black people. It was conservatives who erected “No Black After Sundown” signs at the city borders of thousands of American towns.

Again, this is more Democratic Party Propaganda. It is well known that George Wallace, who delivered one of the most famous addresses was, in fact, a member of the Democratic Party. Further more, it was the Democratic Party of the south that fueled the racial hatred of the south. It was the Democratic Party that was formed by the former confederate Soldiers that lost the civil war.  Apparently Mr. Neiwert never has actually read the history of the Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1885; and that Stephen A. Douglas was, in fact, a Democrat.

You see folks, this is why I left the Democrats; well, actually, they left me. But I digress. It is because of the deception that the Liberals like to pull, when it comes to the history of this Nation. That my friends, is a tragic thing, because not many young people know the truth, they simply believe what they are told.

Now I will concede a point here:

And most of all, it was conservatives who fought the Civil Rights movement tooth and nail. And it was only from the ceaseless efforts of liberals — many of them indeed Christian liberals — in opposition to conservatives, many of them Christian conservatives — that anything was in fact achieved during that era. Somehow, you’ve managed to get your history completely upside down.

He is right here; Strom Thurmond was a perfect example of this. He changed parties after the civil rights act was passed. What Mr. Neiwert fails to say here is that the Republican Party; after Lincoln died and the Radical Republicans were voted out, basically became a isolationist, Anti-Semitic, and yes, flat out racist party, till around the time of William F. Buckey and Irving Kristol switched sides, and began go after the Birchers and their ilk. Which was around the mid to late 1960’s. But from the time of the voting out of the “Radical Republicans”, all the way through to FDR’s time and up till the 1960’s the Republican Party was in fact, not minority friendly. It is a stain on that Party and has been for years. I cannot defend it, nor will I try.  However, it would be helpful to point out, that those days in the Republican Party are quite frankly over. You go around a Republican gathering, and you drop the “N Word” around any of them, and you are asking to get tossed out on your head! Most of them, and I do mean the good majority of them, do not tolerate racism, at all. There are some within the ranks still that harbor prejudices; but they are very small minority in the party, and none of them hold any position any longer. But the good majority of them, are not bigots at all. Much has changed in that party since the 1940’s and 1950’s in the Republican Party and I am quite happy about that.

However, there was a reason behind the opposition to the civil rights act; and no, it is not racism, as it is alleged by the Democrats. It was because of the civil rights act’s unconstitutionality. Basically the bill, in its final form, violated the Constitution. This is why Senator Barry Goldwater would not sign on to it, nor support it, at all.  It is helpful to note that this action of stubbornness cost him the Presidential election. So, while he might have been slightly right about the civil rights act. He was quite wrong about the history of the Republican Party.

Oh My: More Carrie Prejean Sex Tapes?

Carrie Prejean - A disgrace to Christianity!
Carrie Prejean - A disgrace to Christianity!

AllahPundit and Ace have been all over this like a fly on Doo doo… (Phew!)  Which is not entirely surprising seeing that it is a pretty crappy subject. Bump da bump bump…ching! 😛

I have blogged about this woman before; and now, I am doing it again. Which proves that it is a slow news day. I, like many other Conservative Bloggers, gave this gal the benefit of the doubt. I see now, that this was a big mistake.

It seems that little miss “Polly Pure Bright” has made more than one sex tape and naked Photo in her day. Now, keep in mind, the source for this info has given some bogus info before. So, buyer beware!

AllahPundit Remarks:

On the contrary, it’s the fact that they’re imperfect and prone to “stray from the path,” as we all are, that draws them towards redemption in the faith. There does, however, come a point where you stray so far from the path or so frequently that your commitment to it comes into question. For example, an atheist in a foxhole might be forgiven for saying a prayer in a moment of panic, while he’s being shot at. An atheist who prays any time he’s in a tough spot … simply ain’t much of an atheist. Has CP reached that point (yet) in Christian/conservative opinion or is her line of credit essentially limitless”?

Ace just sets it out like it is:

My problem, instead, is that she has enlisted supporters, such as myself, to support her in her legal/PR campaign, on the theory that the California pageant had nothing legitimate to boot her out on, and that only anti-Christian animus could explain their behavior, when in fact… well, first the photos, which were racy, but I excused and defended. And then, well, the masturbation tape, which I kept quiet about.

And now… the other seven masturbation tapes…

She knew all this stuff was out there, she knew it was coming out, etc., and yet I and many of her supporters have been impressed into duty as her defenders through deception.

Because it wasn’t ever true that there was no reason, save anti-Christian animus, to kick her out of the pageant organization. A masturbation tape is, well. I’m not really offended by it but other pageant-hopefuls have gotten the boot for the same thing, and even a lot less.

So what do I feel about her? I feel she chumped me in order to advance her own legal interests…

Whether she has anything more interesting to say is up to her. But the Perez Hilton/pageant stuff? I really don’t care to hear how unfair it all was anymore. It was unfair, and a book deal was gotten out of that; that’s enough. A book deal can bandage up a lot of wounds.

What really made me want to blog about this, when I saw it last night; was this right here, which is over on the Radar Online story:

In her newly released book Carrie wrote, “God gave us our bodies, and it’s perfectly right that we use them in ways where we can give glory to God by making our bodies, our temples of the Holy Spirit, strong and fast.”

Sorry Miss Prejean; but making multiple tapes of yourself, rubbing yourself is NOT considered using your Body in a manner that is pleasing to God, nor is it considered making your body the temple of the Holy Spirit. The truth is folks Carrie Prejean played the “Jesus” card on us. She is nothing more than a two bit floozy, who would get naked to make a quick buck in a heartbeat. When asked about marriage, she gave the answer, that she knew damned well would cause a stink. If you think for one minute that this blond bimbo is truly a Conservative, much less a Christian, then I have a swamp to sell you in Texas; for cheap.  Carrie Prejean is nothing more than a opportunist; she gave the answer that she knew darned well would cause a backlash against her; knowing full well that she had some very bad behavior in her closet.

Why do I say all that? This is why; because no true Born-Again Christian that I know or even had contact with in my entire twenty-six years of being a Christian, would ever expose they bodies in the manner that this gal has. Carrie Prejean is the text book example of the outright stench of compromise in the Evangelical Christian movement of the 21 century. I mean, not over dramatize this whole thing; but it is the type Christianity of  — “Why yes, I am Christian, now let me get my clothes on and pour you a drink”  kind. It is sickening and reminds me why I left that bunch of compromising, watered-down type of Christianity. This is not to say that Fundamentalist Christianity is any different at all; we have our issues too. I can name a few — King James Only Cultism, Cult of personality, Pastoral Authority Abuse, and on and on. — But do we have Fundamentalist Baptists taking their clothes off and romping around in a Bikini; all the while praising Jesus Christ and making sex tapes? No. We do not!

The reason why this gets up my nose so much is this; as much as I know that I am not the perfect image of a Christian and at times, I say and do things that I know are not very becoming of a Christian, which is why I do not preach or even try and post things of a Christian nature on my blog, outside a newsletter that I like to read; it is quite hard to just sit here and do nothing, while some stupid idiot blond harpy takes a makes a mockery of Christian to the world. It makes me angry, sick and sad — all in one bundled up emotion inside. All the while smart mouthed beta males are getting their jollies off of mocking the Christian Faith. Quite bluntly, the stupid woman needs to be told, cut the stupidity or just farking disappear.

There, I said it and I feel better about it…

It is official: David Harsanyi is useless

Next time someone calls me a grumpy old goat, I’m showing ’em this:

Not long ago, Meghan McCain, maverick progeny and rising media star (due, no doubt, to her impressive intellectual gifts) posted a cleavage-intense picture of herself on her Twitter account.

“For years,” the 25-year-old would later lament, “I have struggled to accept the fact that the way I look in a tank top comes off more ‘Sexual’ than a flat-chested woman.”

First, let’s all agree on the obvious: a nation that fails to deal with the deep-seated struggles of busty young blondes is a nation that fails us all.

Then feel free to wonder why an intelligent young woman feigns astonishment when her candid shot creates a hubbub online after she disseminated the shot to 76,000 followers. Isn’t that the point of posting on Twitter? Highlighting everything? Even your socio-political thoughts on cup sizes?

Twitter’s popularity and usefulness are a mystery to me. Pressed by personal, professional and cultural forces, I sporadically deploy short missives for fear of becoming one of those cantankerous technophobes who is too dense to recognize the miracle of letting “followers” know I hate raisins or that I loved the finale of “Mad Men.”

Now, not only am I expected to transmit this minutiae mere seconds after I think it, some 20-year-old in California has decreed that I must do it within the brevity of 140 characters. This need for conciseness, in fact, induces normally articulate friends of mine to write in Prince lyrics — recklessly using “2” and “4” and “U” as words.

via Harsanyi: C’mon, admit it. Twitter is useless – The Denver Post.

Man, talk about an “out of touch” old goat! good grief! Get that man a Victrola and a bottle of ensure and a good hearing aid!  I happen to love Twitter. I’m on there, everyday. Twitter comes into it’s own during disasters, terrorist attacks or major breaking stories. Not to mention, twitter came in extremely handy during a the uprising in Iran. So, this whole notion that twitter is useless, is nothing more baseless nonsense. Truth be told, this is nothing more another ad-hominem attack on twitter, from someone who is a member of the old deadwood media; which is being slowly being phased out. The man is feeling the heat and is afraid to losing his paycheck. So, he attacks Twitter. It works and appeals to those who share in his short-sighted viewpoint, but it makes him look like quite the “out of touch” elitist to those of us, who actually use twitter.

The problem with that, is it makes him and all the rest of the so-called Journalists look very small. Instead of criticizing it, why not try using it? Criticizing something that is useful to everyone else in the rest of the world; except you, makes you look very small. The reasoning for it, defies my ability to understand it. So, everyone else is dumb and you are smart? No, everyone else is smart and you are a backward old fool; who most likely too stupid to know how to even run a Computer; much less a cellphone. Which brings me to another point. I am almost certain that back in the day, when computers were making their debut on the market that some older gents were dismissing them as a fad, that would pass. Needless to say, I am quite thankful that the critics were wrong. Computers liberated me to be able to write. This is coming from someone who has A.D.H.D. and has horrific handwriting. Computers and Blogging were a God-send.  I do not claim to be perfect at it; but I am getting better at it everyday!

In sort; consider the source. 😀

"Cold Cash" Jefferson gets 13 years in the slammer

Good place for the idiot crook:

Former Rep. William Jefferson was sentenced Friday to serve 13 years in prison for what the lead prosecutor described as “the most extensive and pervasive pattern of corruption in the history of Congress.”

While the sentence by federal Judge T.S. Ellis III fell well short of the 27 to 33 years recommended by the government, it is by the far the stiffest jail term ever imposed on a member or former member of Congress for crimes committed while in office.

Jefferson, 62, was found guilty Aug. 6 on 11 charges, including soliciting bribes, depriving citizens of honest service, money laundering and using his office as a racketeering enterprise.

He was acquitted of five other charges in a case that famously featured the revelation that he had hidden $90,000 in the freezer of his home, marked bills from the FBI that prosecutors said was going to be used as a bribe.

Jefferson stood stoically as the sentence was read, his head cocked slightly to the left, showing no obvious emotion.

The race hustlers are most likely say he is being picked on. But I dunno. I doubt it; as this guy was nailed by the feds on a wiretap. So, I doubt Sharpton will have much to say about it. For the record, and before anyone asks; yes, I do have a problem with Republicans that do the same thing. I was glad when Jack Abramoff and all of the rest of the Republicans who have been convicted of same charges.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Updated: A Huge Blunder by the Obama Administration

Possibly one of the biggest blunders by the Obama Administration:

WASHINGTON — Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and four other men accused in the plot will be prosecuted in federal court in New York City, the United States attorney general announced Friday.

But the administration will prosecute another set of high-profile detainees now being held at the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba — Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, who is accused of planning the 2000 bombing of the Navy destroyer Cole in Yemen, and four other detainees — before a military commission.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. announced those decisions in a news conference Friday at the Department of Justice. The arrangements would mean that civilian prosecutors would handle those detainees accused of the 2001 terrorist attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, northern Virginia and Pennsylvania, while the 2000 attack against the Cole would remain within the military system.

Here is why this is a big blunder; I’ll let William Teach‘s words say it for me, This is what he wrote in the comments section of Allan Colmes Blog:

You’re forgetting one thing, Alan: KSM is NOT an American citizen, and not entitled to the protections of our Constitution unless we afford them to him.

The problem with “Affording” them to these guys is this, as Ed Morrissey writes:

That brings up a key question.  What happens if the judge throws out key evidence over nitpicky technicalities?  What happens if KSM and others get found not guilty because of gaps in the evidence chain resulting from national-security issues or “evidentiary issues”?  Will Obama let them walk away?  If that happens, look for a massive amount of anger to overwhelm the naive Commander in Chief.  And if Obama isn’t prepared to let them walk after a potential acquittal, then it makes a mockery of the criminal trial, and of the justice system itself.

These terrorists belong at a military tribunal, not the justice system employed for Americans to judge other Americans for civil criminal conduct.  Instead of giving these men the oblivion they deserve, we’re incentivizing further attacks on the US by giving them the biggest possible PR platform.  We may as well put them on TV and call it Dancing With the Terrorists, or So You Want To Be A Jihadist Martyr.

I have worse scenario than that; what if we happen to get a judge that is a Muslim? What happens if during that trial he begins to feel a twinge of sympathy for these terrorists and begins to nitpick at the evidence and ends up tossing the case out of court? I know it sounds far fetched; but it could happen.

Either way, is this massive blunder by the President and I look for Fox News to go on the attack over this. These guy should be tried in International Court. Just like the Nazi’s were. But because our President is a liberal; this will not be done. He is of the belief system that the terrorists were nothing more than common petty criminals and should be treated as such. This is the same mistake that President Bill Clinton made and it is why September 11’th happened in the first place. As long as the United States continues to make the same mistakes,when it comes to handling of terrorists, we will continue to see terrorists attacks on our soil. It is a fact of reality.

Update: Hell, Democrat Jim Webb even thinks that this is a bad idea! (H/T Ed at HotAir)

I have never disputed the constitutional authority of the President to convene Article III courts in cases of international terrorism. However, I remain very concerned about the wisdom of doing so. Those who have committed acts of international terrorism are enemy combatants, just as certainly as the Japanese pilots who killed thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor. It will be disruptive, costly, and potentially counterproductive to try them as criminals in our civilian courts.

The precedent set by this decision deserves careful scrutiny as we consider proper venues for trying those now held at Guantanamo who were apprehended outside of this country for acts that occurred outside of the country. And we must be especially careful with any decisions to bring onto American soil any of those prisoners who remain a threat to our country but whose cases have been adjudged as inappropriate for trial at all. They do not belong in our country, they do not belong in our courts, and they do not belong in our prisons.

I have consistently argued that military commissions, with the additional procedural rules added by Congress and enacted by President Obama, are the most appropriate venue for trying individuals adjudged to be enemy combatants.

Update: It seems that my gay stalker Ed Brayton does not like what I wrote. Big surprise there, seeing he is a leftist libertarian/classic liberal;  or as I like to call them small Government liberals. I guess he and his sheep that follow after him, did not bother to follow the links and see, that yes, in fact, I did refer to the International criminal court. Anyhow, my stalker says that Conservatives do not support that idea. To that I reply;  Who says that I follow the Republican/Conservative talking points? I believe that these terrorists ought to be tried in international criminal court or at least in a Military trial and NOT in a civilian court on American soil. As Obama said HE felt they should be, back in 2006. But now has flip flopped on, now the he has been elected.
