Man, it is pretty bad, when amateur idiots like me, have to correct the so-called “Professional Bloggers,” whatever that is. 🙄
Dude, she’s totally running — albeit certainly not in 2012 as an upstart challenger to The One. She’s too good of a soldier to do that, per her diving headfirst into the tank here to defend his Nobel win.
Dude, she was born in 1947, That makes her, unless my Math is totally off, 62 years old. There is no way that she will ever try another run at the Presidency. Here is why I think so: There is just no way that a Liberal Democrat is going to want to run that late in the stretch in their lives; at least not after what happened to “Grampy McSame” in the 2008 election. I mean, if you were a Liberal Democrat, much less a female Liberal Democrat; would you want your campaign being compared to an old Conservative Republican who thought he was entitled to be President, because of his age and Vietnam Service? Uh, I think the answer would be no.
AllahPundit and those who read his writings need to face facts; The Clinton dynasty is over, for good. The Feminist and Moderate Wing of the Democratic Party was soundly defeated by the Black Entitlement and Identity Politics of the Democratic Party. This was done by electing a President who is defined by elements of Neo-Liberalism, and by a HUGE dose of abject Socialism. While I do believe some hawkish Neo-Conservatives Conservatives would just love to see Hillary in the White House; I am afraid that era is simply over; and we are now staring down one of the most dangerous era of our times. The era of “Hope and Change” or as it known b the rest of us, the era of hyper-Socialism.
I figured I would see this out of maybe, The National Review or possibly, maybe, The New Republic and definitely The Weekly Standard ——– But, the Nation? I mean that magazine is about a leftist as it gets and they are criticizing “The One” that they were all waiting for? The One who they basically turned into the Democratic Party’s personal savior and lord? I mean, this is amazing.
I do believe the Honeymoon is over and over horribly it is.
John Nichols writes over at The Nation the Following:
The Obama administration really needs to get over itself.
First, the president and his aides go to war with Fox News because the network maintains a generally anti-Obama slant.
Then, an anonymous administration aide attacks bloggers for failing to maintain a sufficiently pro-Obama slant.
These are not disconnected developments.
An administration that won the White House with an almost always on-message campaign and generally friendly coverage from old and new media is now frustrated by its inability to control the debate and get the coverage it wants.
Nichols goes on to deliver a blistering smack down of the Obama Administration’s idea that they can try and control the media. Which is pretty shocking, considering which magazine that this is actually coming from. I guess that this should not be that great of a surprise, seeing that Barack Obama’s White House yesterday kicked the entire gay community and the Liberal Blogging community square in the jewels. Despite the best efforts to quell down the backlash, I do believe that the proverbialGenie is out of the bottle here. I do believe that President Obama is about to find out just how intolerant and hateful that the Progressive/liberal community is towards those who try and stiff them. Bill Clinton went through this; and now Obama is about to get the same treatment.
This should serve as a wake up call to anyone in the Democratic Party that is thinking of running in 2012 or in 2010 for that matter. Do not pander, do not overreach; or you will pay dearly. You would think that the Democratic Party would have learned all of this, as a whole, from the Clinton years. Sadly it seems that the Democratic Party is hellbent on making the same stupid mistakes that it made in the Clinton years. Clinton did that and the Democrats paid for it, for eight long years. George W. Bush did that to the Republican Party— and to America; and now the Republican Party is paying for that now, as we speak. Now the Obama White House is doing the same thing —— again. When will people ever learn, that you just do not make lofty promises that you do not intend to keep, that you just no not pander or overreach, because it will come back haunt you.
It is such a vicious cycle, that is repeated over and over and over… by both Political Parties. 🙄
Only the faint sound of lightly marching feet could be heard as hundreds stood silent on the Greenville-Spartanburg International tarmac Wednesday while fully adorned Marines carried Lance Cpl. Chris Fowlkes’ flag-draped coffin.
The solemn arrival began an afternoon-long procession that ultimately wound through the streets of the 20-year-old Marine’s hometown of Gaffney, where businesses shut down and mourners lined the streets.
The homecoming came six days after the former Gaffney High School football player died in a military hospital in Germany from injuries sustained a week earlier in an explosion in the Helman province of Afghanistan.
Well-wishers waved flags, saluted and shed tears as an army of police cars escorted Fowlkes’ family along the 40-mile stretch from the airport to the town.
Among them were those who knew Fowlkes and remembered his life fondly.
Dan Phillips, a family friend who waited for the escort outside the Blakely Funeral Home in Gaffney where Fowlkes’ body will remain until a memorial service today and burial on Saturday, said that Fowlkes had spoken with his grandmother not long before he was killed.
She had talked with her grandson over the phone, Phillips said, and asked him if he missed being home as school was getting started again.
“He told her, ‘No, I’m right where I want to be,’” Phillips said. “That’s a very powerful statement.”
Indeed it is a powerful statement, many of our finest, bravest and best young men are going and fighting in a war; so that the rest of us can be safe from terrorists, who want to harm this Nation and our people in it. You would think that everyone in this Nation would be proud of something like that, and would want to honor their bravery and sacrifice. Well, it seems that some, in the interest of political correctness, want to dishonor our war dead.
A South Carolina Bank of America branch is drawing criticism Thursday after an employee reportedly ordered the removal of American flags placed to honor a fallen Marine over fears that people would be offended.
The Palmetto Scoop received one eyewitness email claiming that the branch manager at Bank of America’s Gaffney branch at 1602 West Floyd Baker Blvd. “told a citizen who was preparing the route for a U.S. Marine killed in action in Afghanistan by placing small American flags along the roadway that the flags might upset some of her customers.”
Said the outraged tipster, “[The branch manager] took them down and made the citizen go in to get them if she didn’t want them thrown away.”
The flags were part of the funeral procession of Lance Corporal Christopher Fowlkes, 20, who died last week after an explosion in Afghanistan’s Helmand province.
WSPA-TV has also received similar tips about the “flag flap.”
A teller at the branch confirmed to TPS that the branch manager had been there around the time of the incident but had left for the day.
Bank of America released a statement apologizing for the incident and celled it a misunderstanding.
“We want to ensure the community knows how deeply proud we are of the men and women who have sacrificed so much in service to our country,” the statement said. “The bank does fly the American Flag at our locations throughout the country and flags were displayed in front of our banking center in Gaffney the evening prior to our dedicated Marine returning home.”
___________
UPDATE: WCBD in Charleston reports that Bank of America said the incident was a “miscommunication in corporate policy.” That raises the question, which policy would require employees to remove American flags that are part of a funeral procession for a fallen Marine?
Mis-communication my hind leg. Someone in that damned bank was some sort of hippy liberal and was offended by the very damned site of Patriotism.
So should BofA rename their corporation to bank of Russia? Is it Bank of America, or is it not? With whose offense were they worried? Really. Who, exactly, would have come into the bank and demanded that an American flag be removed for a Marine who perished in Afghanistan? And why would Bank of AMERICA have cared?
What corporate policy was in effect? Was this a branch-specific issue, or is there a corporate policy that forbids the displaying of American flags for the fear of causing offense? Who was responsible for removing the flags? Has corporate policy been changed? If so, why was the policy in effect? If not, what is the justification for the policy? Will Bank of AMERICA issue a formal apology to the Fowlkes family first and then to AMERICA?
There are many unanswered questions concerning this ugly incident. I feel that it’s necessary for a BofA official to formally comment on this article to enlighten my readers.
Indeed, I would like Bank of America to enlighten the rest of the Conservative Blogosphere as well. I would like to also see this Branch Manager terminated as well. A simply apology is NOT enough this man needs to be fired from his Job. He disrespected the war dead; there is no excuse, he must go, now.
Here is the contact information for Bank of America Corporate Office:
Bank of America Corporate Center
100 North Tryon Street
Charlotte, North Carolina 28255
Tel: 1.800.432.1000
REMEMBER: Be Civil, No Threats or anything stupid like that! Simply ask to speak to someone in charge; and ask them if they believe that ordering people to remove American Flags respecting the Nation’s War dead is acceptable corporate policy and if not, why they would continue employ someone who would feel that way; and why they would allow this to happen. You could also kindly suggest that if this person was not terminated that you would take your business and money elsewhere.
I am sorry; but it is crap like this right here, that sends me into a damned rage.
Reading that morally degenerate and sin-depraved Faux Conservative; other wise known around these parts, as that peanut butter pumping, Hershey Highway loving, idiot fag Sully. Says the following that crap-hole of a Blog of his:
It my have been, in Barney Frank’s opinion, “useless,” but for me and Aaron and my friends, it was a beautiful and empowering time. So many young people, so many old and dear friends, so many faces I haven’t seen in so long, so many straight people, and kids and families and trannies and a good, good happy vibe. Then the message that was louder and clearer than any march I’ve been to since 1987. Just equality. Not tolerance. Not protection. Nothing special. Just equality as human beings and citizens – in all things large and small.
More to the point, this was not a plea for it; it was a statement of it. We are equal. We always have been. The prison of inferiority is in our own psyches as well as in others’ fears. But I sense now, for the first time, a critical mass of self-respect among my LGBT brothers and sisters. It was there before; but now it’s everywhere, especially the young, who seem to have found the courage of their own desires and the knowledge of their own love.
Let us review shall we? From the Bible. You know? That thing that is the basis for our Judeo-Christian Beliefs; that was the basis for this Nation’s founding? Now, before I got any further. Let me state clearly, that I do not believe in a Christian Theocracy for a Government; there are those that do and I highly disagree with them. Anyhow, quoting:
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. (Leviticus 18:22 KJV)
I mean, the Lord God thought so little of it, that basically he put homosexual lifestyle or as it known amongst Christians as the Sodomite lifestyle; in the same category as Bestiality!
Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. (Leviticus 18:23 KJV)
What was the punishment in Old Testement Biblical times for Homosexuality?
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. (Leviticus 20:13 KJV)
You say, “Oh, that was old Testament.” Things are different now. Oh Really? Hmmmm…
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV)
The Amplified Bible sets it right out:
Do you not know that the unrighteous and the wrongdoers will not inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived (misled): neither the impure and immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor those who participate in homosexuality, Nor cheats (swindlers and thieves), nor greedy graspers, nor drunkards, nor foulmouthed revilers and slanderers, nor extortioners and robbers will inherit or have any share in the kingdom of God. – 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 – Amplified Bible
I humbly submit this to you; that when the founding fathers of this Country, drafted the documents that basically became known as the Constitution of America; they did NOT have in mind the freedom that this morally depraved man has in mind, at all. That is NOT hate; that my friends is fact and Biblical straight from the very Word of the Almighty God. Not the watered down stupid nonsense of the Evangelical Christian and Roman Catholic Churches.
Further more; why hasn’t this morally depraved buffoon been thrown out of our Country? That is what I, and many others want to know.
As you all well know; I pointed out yesterday that the Georgia Bar owner had ties to the White Nationalist movement. Which prompted some idiot, who either reads mine or Robert Stacy McCain‘s blog to try and defend the ignorant douche Nozzle. Which resulted me in giving the idiot the once over here on the blog.
In process of pointing out that this idiot was, in fact, White Nationalist, I gave R.S. McCain a gentle poke in the ribs; to basically inform him that he forgot to use Google. Well, being the Southern Gentleman that he is, he responded:
My friend at Political Byline discovered that, according to Stormfront (which ought to know), Patrick Lanzo has made his restaurant available for “white pride” events organized by, inter alia, the late J.B. Stoner.
OK, so if this is true, it clearly puts Lanzo on the far side of a clearly defined line between any sort of mere “political incorrectness” and outright hatemongering.
Paleo Pat’s research is appreciated; however, I disagree with his characterization that my own previous discussion of Lanzo’s restaurant as “spinning” for Lanzo. As I clearly said, “To explain is not to defend.” Obviously, I erred in failing to research Lanzo before endeavoring to explain him, which makes me guilty of carelessness, and I appreciate Paleo Pat clarifying the nature of Lanzo’s operation.
What J.B. Stoner promoted ought to be called by its right name: Evil. Did Lanzo know what he was getting himself into when he hosted Stoner’s events? I don’t know. But he either needs to reconsider his actions or else admit that he’s on the other side of that line.
I’ll except that explanation. I realize that Stacy is a busy man with a wife and what… 36 kids? So, this will suffice. I was kind of using a well-known tag line that is used by the left, when someone tries to explain something. You know, “Oh, he’s just spinning!” Did I also mention that I like to play mind games with people? 😉 😛 😀 It is a perverse joy of mine; and it is so easy too, with the sheep that we have running around these days. (Anyone who has read the book, knows of what I speak.)
The real funny part about this is; that I made the LGF’ers get all excited for about a second and then suddenly deflated their balloon just as quick. It seems ol’ Klingore Trout linked here; using Google Cache and then realized a few seconds later, that I was not on his side. That alone, made writing that blog posting and the subsequent piece from the mailbag worth every minute of my time writing it. I really do love doing the “Mental Joust” with intellectual midgets; it is quite the fun sport. Anyhow, This prompted Charles Johnson to call me, “the new hero of the right“. While I am most humbled by his compliment; I hardly call myself a hero. Of course, when one jousts with those who foolishly believe that the Government is the solution to all of the world’s and by proxy. the Nation’s problems; one can only expect so much. Of course, I humbly submit that if one gave Mr. Johnson a blow up doll, a ball of yarn, and a yo-yo; that he would become so disoriented that his cranial matter would self-combust. But I digress.
A late-night disagreement between two men in a bar becomes a stare-down.
One side throws fists, and a brief brawl breaks out. Customers scatter. Tables are overturned. Friends on the sidelines straighten their postures and walk tough. Others grab their coats and head for the door.
Some physical commotion is not uncommon at evening establishments where alcohol is served. But it’s what happened next on Thursday evening inside the Route 66 Kitchen in West Toledo that has unsettled some Toledoans.
With surveillance cameras rolling, several figures pulled out handguns and engaged in a shootout that raged inside and outside the bar for several minutes. Seventeen shell casings littered the floor or ground before the gun battle petered out, leaving a front door riddled with bullet holes and scenes of lawless mayhem preserved on video.
Amazingly, no one was hurt.
Welcome to Obama’s America. These are the one’s that voted for Obama and they’re the one’s that Obama is using for votes —- er, um, I mean “Fighting For”.
This is notto say that White people could not do this; they could, and sometimes do. But you have to believe, unless you’re totally stupid, that socialism and yes, Liberals played a big part in this.
Good Lord, is this website run by conspiracy theorist Charles Johnson or something
No Kevin, it is not. The dude is a fucking racist bigot, pure and fucking simple. There is HUGE difference between writing articles with weasel words in them, speaking frankly about the past of America and slavery; and owning a fucking bar, with a mannequin of Klansman inside it, with a sign outside with the word “Nigger” on it. Now, you can fucking try to Spin and fucking deny that all fucking day long; but you know what? You just expose yourself as someone who simply wants to cover for the fact that the man is a fucking racist bigot.
As for your assumption that I am in the same league with that lying turd, Charles Foster Johnson, is absolutely asinine. Charles Fostor Johnson knowingly LIED about Pamela Geller. Saying that she KNOWINGLY went to a Conference that was also attended by some former Neo-Nazi’s. This was, and still is a god-damned baldfaced lie.
I did not lie about this man, or his business; I simply stated the facts that this man was, in fact, closely associated with the White Nationalist movement. I proved by using the same damned tool that anyone else in America can use; Google Search Engine. As for your baseless accusation of me using tactics of the left, like collectivism. That is a baseless accusation; this man is obviously a racist and possibly even a Klansman or a White Nationalist. It is like the old saying, “If it walks like a Duck and Talks like a Duck…. It is usually a duck.”
Nice try, but this time, that damn Dog of spin and denial ain’t a huntin’, at least not with THIS Conservative it isn’t.
Unlike some people; I know racism is wrong and I do not try to act like an apologist for it. If that puts me on some enemy lists, then so.fucking.be.it.
