Quote of the Day

The QOTD comes from Rocky Frisco on facebook and you can read his Bio right here:

Just got insulted by a fool named Anna, who claims that the Holocaust never happened.  She demanded that I show video proof that exactly 6 million Jews were killed by Uncle Adolf.  My dad had a friend named Paul who used to go hunting with us.  One night while visiting him and his family, Paul got out a cigar box and brought it down to the table where we were sitting. He handled it like it was full of bombs. He told my dad what was in it and asked if I should leave before he opened it. I was about ten years old, maybe 11. Dad said he didn’t want me protected from knowing the truth, so Paul opened the box. He had been a photographer for the US Army when he got separated from his outfit. He jumped a freight train to escape from a patrol of German soldiers and couldn’t get off the train, since it speeded up and headed down the track. He ended up stranded in Berlin, just days before Germany started to fold. He photographed the trains that went by the warehouse where he was holed up. They were hauling murdered Jews to a rendering plant where their bodies were being used to make soap. He took hundreds of pictures of the coal-hoppers full of emaciated naked bodies that went past his hiding place. That was what was in the cigar box. Those pictures. I saw those photos, I saw his shaking hands and the tears that were trying to leak from his eyes. Paul was the toughest person I ever met, so I was terribly moved by that experience and never forgot. The most disgusting aspect of the experience today was that this “Anna” has a Ron Paul button as her Facebook profile picture. BLOCKED!

 

The only thing that I can truly say is…..

After reading this and after reading this; is…

Wow.  Just….Wow.

Which is why I am so glad that I cut ties with the people mentioned in that first link. As for the second one; that guy makes me look like a saint.

I mean, I have my opinions and yes, I live in my Mom’s basement and all; but man — that guy takes it to whole new level.

I’ll tell you; I have been blogging since 2006; first as a skeptical left-of-center and then, as someone who moved further and further to the right, as time went on — I can tell you that I have never seen anything like this at all. This is what the right Blogosphere has become: A damned parody of its former self. A freak show. 😯

Which is why I tend to stay to myself, do my own thing and avoid the cliques.

It keeps me off the radar and out of trouble.

A funny, Blogger John Cole says:

If your head doesn’t hurt by the end of this, there is something wrong with you. The “swatting” style incidents are still horrible, but overall, it seems like this basically boils down to a lot of really self-important and obnoxious people who karmically and comically deserve each other. And if it keeps Malkin off Graeme Frost’s front porch, all the better.

That last part I underlined was what I thought was funny. I remember that, when it happened. I was still running “ThePopulistBlog.com” and by that time, I just was using my name for the blog. Anyhow, I remember that damned hit piece that Michelle Malkin wrote; with all of the Frost families personal information. I was pissed. So, I went Googling for Malkin’s address and I posted it on my blog. Turns out, she had not lived at that address in like two or three years. Which I found out from, of all persons, a liberal! Anyhow, I took it back down, because I did not want people going to some innocent person’s house.

Anyhow, it was up for like an half an hour. But, the way Malkin’s fan boy’s acted, It was her current address and it had been up for days. Malkin herself never said a word about it; but her fans and most of the blogosphere on the right did. Which is why, to this very day; I am considered “persona non grata” with the more hawkish Conservative blogs. All because of that. Also too, because I got into a little scape with another right blogger once, which they started and I took to another level. That one, I do regret, highly; mainly because the person named at said link’s dead wife got pulled into the mess, by me — by mistake. To my defense, I had zero clue who the woman is, I was out for revenge and her name was there. I had no idea that was the blog owner’s wife.

But the thing with Malkin, do I really regret that? That is a complicated answer. Do I regret defending the policy? Yes. I do. It was an expansion of Government, which means more money being spent; that I do regret. Do I regret going after Malkin? No, I don’t — at all. I find her tactics sickening. She got what was coming to her and my only real regret was not finding her real address.  Her blog is a cesspool of hate, bigotry and knee jerk stupidity. What cracks me up is, she claims to be a so-called Christian. She is, in fact, Roman Catholic; which further cements my opinion that Roman Catholics are not even remotely Christians.

That’s all, that is my claim to fame. If you really want to call it that. I wrote all that to basically say this; these people, that I just linked to; make me look like a freaking Amateur! (and I am too… no professional stuff here man… I’m still juggling the glass balls and trying to tap dance!)

Majority of voters say Obama has changed Country for worse, Says Hill Poll

There is a part of me that wants to say, “Well Duh!” But I shall refrain.

Via The Hill:

Two-thirds of likely voters say President Obama has kept his 2008 campaign promise to change America — but it’s changed for the worse, according to a sizable majority.

A new poll for The Hill found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better under his leadership.

 

The results signal broad voter unease with the direction the nation has taken under Obama’s leadership and present a major challenge for the incumbent Democrat as he seeks reelection this fall.

Before you say, “Well, that is just Republicans!” Let’s read on shall we?

Strikingly, 1-in-5 Democrats say they feel Obama has changed the United States for the worse.

Compared to the sentiment about Obama’s impact, fewer people see presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney as a candidate who will change the country dramatically if elected.

Still, 50 percent of people think Romney will bring a “significant” level of change — a finding that may reflect the desire among anti-Obama voters for a reversal of the president’s policies.

Debate about Obama’s first-term legacy has intensified since the Supreme Court ruled the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate to be constitutional.

The healthcare legislation, once fully implemented, would usher in the most sweeping changes to the nation’s social safety net since the 1960s.

The best come back that the Democrats can come up with, is to blame the Republicans for opposing the President’s polices. Which is idiotic, because the President and the Democrats had a majority in both houses of Congress, during his first term. The massive failure was the spending that was supposed to energize our economy; which ultimately fell flat.  However, as someone, who is not some sort of partisan hack; I happen to know what is killing or economy.

What is killing our economy is globalism; put simply, if someone knows that they can build a product in China, where they can get away with paying someone a dollar an hour, instead of the normal minimum wage here in America — they are going to do it. What needs to happen, is there need to be stiff tariffs put upon all imports into this Country. This would encourage companies to open factories here in America.  Critics of this idea say that would cause the price of everything to go up. Not if the President warned companies not to engage in price gouging.

This idea is nothing new, Patrick Buchanan; someone who has been maligned by the left and by some on the right, because of his controversial views on World War II and foreign policy —- has been saying this same very thing for years. Some people would argue that taxes on small businesses are causing the problems; which is idiotic at best, because the majority of small businesses in this Country do not even have an effect of the Nation’s gross domestic product. It is, in fact, the big businesses, which in fact, ship jobs overseas, that affect that GDP.

Another thing too that I feel the need to bring up; Obama should not be entirely blamed for this whole mess that we are in. The majority of the problems that we are facing today, were caused the idiotic Carter and Clinton Administrations.  I will give credit to the President; he did handle the mop up of the failures of President Carter and Clinton with such grace and class; instead of finger pointing at his own Party, he simply came in and fixed the problem. The President did point the finger at Bush; which is common in partisan politics. One thing that Congress and the President did fail to do is eliminate the Adjustable Rate Mortgage loan; which was the very thing that caused the entire meltdown in the first place.

As for this poll; put simply, The President of the United States was handed a flaming bag of crap on his first day —– and was expected make diamonds out of it. The President might be many things, but a miracle worker is not one of them. Some things just cannot be fixed with the wave of a hand; our economy is one of them.

…and offensive?!?!?!

Now THIS is offensive:


Says alot of truth really; but still, nonetheless, quite offensive. 😯

How is it, that Liberals can threaten to kill a White Conservative President and it is really no big deal. However, if someone simply mocks a black Democrat; who just happens to be the President, it is a major scandal? How does that work? Really, how does that work? 🙄

Just an example of the sick world we live into today.
