Elizabeth Warren Aide roughs up a Republican tracker

The Story:

The Republican staffer holding the camera films Warren leaving the event and entering her SUV. One of Warren’s aides, who looks to be, perhaps, her driver, pushes the camera twice, and the second time it falls to the ground. The tracker picks up the camera and continues filming, while the Warren staffer says, “Dude, get out of my face or I’m going to call the police.”

“It’s a public event,” the Republican staffer says multiple times. Finally, as he’s walking away, the Warren staffer says, “You’re messing with the wrong people.”

This is your Democrats; what they cannot control, they attack. You think this is bad, wait till after the election and on voting day. Things are going to get rough, trust me.

Now, if that would have been me; that would have been about the time that I would have pulled out my 9mm and I would emptied a clip into him. He would have never touched my camera or me. This is why I believe, if you are a Republican tracker, GO ARMED and if they touch you, you shoot them, just make sure you get the fact that he touched you or assaulted you on tape. So, when you go to court, you can prove you were defending yourself.

 

 

It Begins: Protester arrested with a machete at RNC Convention

This is unreal….

TAMPA —

A Republican National Convention protestor was arrested while he allegedly carried a machete strapped to his leg, according to deputies.

According to Hillsborough County Sheriff’s officials, Jason T. Wilson, of Tallahassee, was arrested as he walked in the RNC Event Zone carrying a “full size” machete.

When deputies approached Wilson, they said he continued to walk away despite orders to stop.

“When deputies caught up to Wilson, he advised he did not have to stop and that he was allowed to carry whatever he wanted,” HCSO spokesperson Larry McKinnon said.

When deputies attempted to physically stop him, Wilson allegedly began resisting arrest and was physically restrained.

Wilson was arrested and taken to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office on charges of prohibited items in event zone and resisting arrest with violence.

Also too, there is a report that antiRNC protesters are trying to shut down the EMS communications.  Add to the mix a category 2 hurricane coming ashore. You have chaos. This is your far left.

UPDATED: Anti-Ron Paul bile on full display at HotAir.com and Slate.com

I will fully admit, I do not agree 100 percent with Representative Ron Paul’s views. However, since watching the Wall Street meltdown and the economic downturn that followed; I have come to appreciate Ron Paul’s views on fiscal policy. Furthermore, I share Ron Paul’s views on Federalism.

Now I shall fully admit, that I somewhat disagree a tiny bit with Ron Paul’s views on foreign policy. However, I happen to be browsing over at HotAir.com and I saw something there that disgusted me quite a bit.

Over in the headline’s section of HotAir.com, which is biased quite towards Neoconservative Republicans and against anyone else who disagrees with them, I happen to see a Headline with a link to a Slate.com article about Ron Paul. The article was written by a one Dave Weigel, who is about as much of a Conservative, as I am a Homosexual. (…and I am not, in case you wondered.)

What really disappointed me about this, is the asinine bile posted in the comments section of HotAir’s headline section towards Ron Paul.  It is quite amazing me me, that people can make such asinine comments like that towards a American man, who dares to simple love his Country. What really steams me is this; if someone, like me were registered there and made comments like these towards Jews, Blacks or any other protected minority, we would be banned from commenting at that site —- as I have been in the past. Oh, and trust me, my comments were very mild compared to some of the bile that is in there right now about Ron Paul, one even saying he wishes Ron Paul to be dead. I am sorry, but that is over the line, as is comparing Ron Paul to a communist or worse.

Furthermore, David Weigel’s posting, which is written in the typical elitist snobbery fashion, that is his hallmark of a failed writer.

This, my friends, is why I will not for Mitt Romney in the General 2012 election. Because even I do not agree 100% with Ron Paul’s positions, I do respect the man for what he has done and stood for in the past. It is too bad, the other so-called Conservatives cannot do that same very thing.  – Update: The part that I have lined out, is no longer true. I do now support Mitt Romney for President. I have a good reason too. Please, click here to read why I have changed my mind.

Update: I thought of this, after I hit publish. I know what some of you might be thinking. “Okay, why did you write this, if you recommended HotAir.com in a earlier posting?” Well, I have an answer for that question:

  1. Just because I recommend a blog, like HotAir.com, does not mean that I automatically endorse said blog’s political position or Conservative stance.
  2. I do not entirely lay blame of this sort of nonsense at the feet of Ed, Allah, Mary Kathy or even Salem Communications; I blame the ignorance of those who believe the idiotic tripe written about Ron Paul —- by those who have an agenda. This is why I removed my “Israel” banner, because of this sort of ignorance. Furthermore, I blame the state of America and of politics. We have become a more hateful Nation, since the 1940’s and 1950’s.

Update #2: It also seems that this terminally unfunny idiot is getting his digs in too. Too bad that SUV didn’t break more than his knee. Just sayin’. Hey, if they can hate, so can I. 😡

Update #3: Like clockwork, the mouthpiece of the biggest and most protected minority spews forth their bile towards Ron Paul. Question: What if someone, like me; spewed forth that sort of hate towards a Jewish Senator? I think you know the answer to that one.

Neil Armstrong RIP

Farewell to a great American.

(Reuters) – U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong, who took a giant leap for mankind when he became the first person to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Saturday.

Armstrong died following complications from heart-bypass surgery he underwent earlier this month, the family said in a statement, just two days after his birthday on August 5.

As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. As he stepped on the dusty surface, Armstrong said: ““That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Those words endure as one of the best known quotes in the English language.

Anyone over the age of 30 years old, knows who this man is; he is testament to American greatness.

Which is why the United States Government needs to get OUT of the space business. The cold war is over and we have no need to be in the space business anymore.

This is because that the space program is nothing more than dressed up big Government statism. Nothing more, nothing less. Too many NASA persons have perished, in the pursuit of so-called “science.”  We need to privatize that entire system and allow free market forces to control it.

RIP to Neil Armstrong

 

No, I am not going to the RNC Convention

I was not even going to blog about it, but I figured I would let all of you know. I really am not going to the Republican Party’s Convention in Tampa, Florida and I will list the reasons why:

  1. My financial  situation – I have not worked in over eight years, I blame the “disconnected from reality” politics of both parties for this; and that is on ALL levels, Federal, State and yes, local. Elections have consequences and because of this, myself and many other people that I know are paying for those stupid votes. So, the funds to go to a convention just are not there at all. End of discussion.
  2. I just do not get into establishment politics at all. – I mean, the idea of someone beating Barack Obama in this election is great and all, but to be honest with you; I have never really fit into the stereotypical “Republican” mold. I am from a working class, middle class, mostly Democratic Party voting family and neighborhood. I loathe that party with every fiber of my being, but I am not exactly smitten with the Republican Party either. Remember, just as recent as 2006, I was still running a “Historic Populist” blog. 7 years ago; Wow…. It really does not seem that long ago — that I was swearing about Bush and his politics; which were really not that Conservative or really even Constitutional.
  3. They all really, truly, hate me with a passion. — It is no secret, that I am truly the black sheep of the so-called “Conservative” blogosphere. This is mainly because of my past of being a former “Left of center” blogger and person. …and you know what? I am fine with that. I never started writing about the things that pissed me off about politics to get any sort of vain glory or popularity. I just did it to talk back to the forces that I thought were hurting this Country. So far, I have made some waves and a few enemies. Again, I am fine with that. Even if I had like a zillion bucks in the bank and could charter a flight to Tampa and had the money to stay in the nicest Hotel — I just would not bother. Hell, I cannot even afford to replace this stupid laptop that decided to wink the dashboard. Not only that, but my Mom has not gotten in a hurry to let me have back the laptop that I royally screwed up, and she managed to fix herself. So, I am still on the old monitor, which sucks to the high heavens, but, what can I do? I don’t have the money to buy a laptop. Which again, sucks. 🙁

However, I can recommend some places to read, with people that WILL be in Tampa.

  • The Other McCain, who’s owner is not really someone I like, but he’s a decent writer and will tell the truth; for the most part anyhow.
  • HotAir.com is the best, hands down, Conservative Blog around. It is in my sidebar and I read the site daily. Someone from HotAir will be there for the show. Which from what I read is going to be shortened a day.

Also too, I am sure Fox News will be there as well. I will be watching that as well. I will also give my feeling about what I see and here on the TV, like everyone else.

So, there you go, what is happening with me and the RNC Convention. If you are going to Tampa, be safe. There is a hurricane churning out at sea. If the Feds tell you to hit the road; by all means, please listen! But from what I have read, it is not expected to be that bad. The RNC is just being cautious and believe it or not, I think that is a very good thing.
