I will simply say this: Ron Paul’s downfall was that he dared to question the AIPAC crowd and their motivations. This made him a pariah on the right. Something I know full well about. Also too, his foreign policy views were a bit out of touch. Do not get me wrong, I do admire the guy. But he was stuck in a era prior to December 7, 1941. I agree with the premise that Wilsonian foreign policy is wrong. But, I disagree with his feeling that Iran should be left alone.
Personally, I believe in peace, though strength…. and not domination of the World by military might, or irresponsibility by disengagement of foreign policy. We have to be realists about the middle east and other places around the World. This, I suppose, would make me a Paleoconservative; who is a fatal realist. President Reagan followed this line very well. Both Bush Presidents were terrible at it. Again, I can empathize with Ron Paul and the rest of Paleoconservatives views. However, I believe realistic policy and no one based on ones whimsical feelings about “the way it was.”
Sorry to say it, but Erick Erickson sounds like a whiny liberal in this piece here:
If money is the root of all evil, for the Republican Party evil is located on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney’s ruin and the RNC’s get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by charlatan consultants making millions off the party, its donors, and the grassroots.
66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP’s defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.
This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza reveals a tangled web of incestuous relationships among Republican consultants who have made millions all while the GOP went down the tubes. Here the top party consultants waged war with conservative activists and here they waged war with the Democrats. On both fronts, they raked in millions along the way with a more fractured, minority party in their wake. And they show no signs of recognizing just how much a part of the problem they are.
Since when is capitalism evil? When you don’t get any of the money, that’s when! Erick Erickson is a slander blogger, who slandered me and few other people in the past and rather unfairly, I might add. Mr. Erickson is just ticked off, because nobody called him during the 2008 or 2012 election to work on their campaigns. This is why this little slander piece was written.
Also too, Erick Erickson is a blogger, who started RedState in his basement and when he could not afford the huge hosting bill anymore, he called on Eagle Publishing for a bailout, and they rescued his “too big to fail” blogging service. Some Conservative eh? 🙄
HOUSTON—As family members of a man who was shot by a Valero clerk in southeast Houston called for the store clerk’s arrest, the store owner released surveillance video.
Alexander Calloway, 21, and his two cousins were trying to enter the gas station on Martin Luther King and Belarbor around 3:30 a.m., but the store was locked.
The young men got into an argument with the clerk, who unlocked his door and came outside, police said.
Someone punched the clerk in the face and the clerk pulled out his gun and shot Calloway in the stomach, according to HPD.
Calloway’s cousins rushed him to a fire station on Cullen at Selinsky, and paramedics transported him to Ben Taub Hospital in critical condition.
Moonbattery calls this Alexander Calloway fool, “A hoodlum of politically privileged pigmentation.” Indeed he is. This guy gets into an argument with the clerk and then punches the clerk in the face and then, the clerk pulls out his gun and shoots the guy, in self-defense; and the clerk is at fault. I think not. 😡
What gets me is Calloway’s Father saying, “He didn’t have to shoot my son.” Well, old man, if your miserable piece of crap son, was home where he should have been, instead of out catting around with his friends, who also had guns; maybe he would still be alive. Instead, he is dead, at the hands of own damned foolishness, and no amount of your race-baiting boo hoo’ing is going to bring him back. Now, shut the hell up and accept that your idiot son was a fool and paid the ultimate price for it.
Again folks, as I have written here a thousand times and on my old blog; these are Obama’s people, these are the ones, the handout society that voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. We have four more years of this stupidity too. Enjoy. 🙄
Please note: This entire posting is simple conjecture and I have no real inside baseball information at all. I simply am wondering aloud about what is really going on. I have no proof at all; but, I do have plenty of suspicions.

I ask this question because of the following events that have taken place:
I’m beginning to wonder if Neal AND Brett are both FBI informants acting as agent provocateurs.
And that doesn’t get them off the hook or anything but it does give an insight to why they believe they can make false accusations, go ballistic over the least little thing, make all kinds of false accusations and lie in court and expect to get away with it. (because they have so far.)
The FBI is not above using people and placing operators (not actual agents per se) in positions to supply the means and even the motive for others to commit unlawful acts. (see the poor sap that tried to blow up the NY Federal Reserve Bank in Oct.)
They also use guys like that as spreaders of disinformation and gatherers of information. They particularly like to use those who have criminal, prison/shady pasts as they can be pressured into cooperation and have the bonafides to appear to be what they may be pretending to be. (that’s if anyone bothers to check)
They also use them to spread dissension amongst collaborators and other informal and clandestine communities.
Sound like Rauhauser? Sound like Kimberlin?
Not saying they’re active, just saying they may have been used and may be used again. And it does fit some of the odd things and perceptions they both have of how little they concern themselves with being arrested or investigated.
Things that make you go Hmmmmm.
I was over here lying in the bed, waiting for the soup that Mom was making for supper, when I read this. This is when it hit me; “what if they are doing that?” It would not shock me one iota. The Conservative blogosphere, the Tea Party, the Republicans on the hill — all have been a huge thorn in the side of the President. Who is to say that the President did not order an big time, super secret investigation and take down of the right wing blogosphere?
Again, I do not have any inside baseball information on this at all. I simply am, as the southern folk would call it, “A wonderin'” about this all. I mean, the Government has done dishonest stuff like this before. Remember Ruby Ridge? Remember the Waco Stand Off? Remember Elohim City? Remember Oklahoma City? The United States Government has not always been forthright in their dealings and with the actions of the FBI. Like this man here, who is one of the people, that I listed in the title of this blog posting; who is an informant, I believe — like he says: I am an independent journalist, and I am seeking answers. I happen to believe that theory about these three men. However, I would like dig for the real truth as to what is really going on here. I simply do not buy the story that is being floated about these three people. Something more is going on and I want to get to the bottom of it.
If anyone that reads this, who happens to work for the FBI, and happens to know the truth. Please, do not hesitate to email me and tell me the truth. I will protect your identity and I will publish what you tell me to publish.
There are facts in this story, that the public needs to know about and that the corporate owned and controlled media will not cover, unless they are forced to. We bloggers in the uncontrolled, independent media world are the ones who have been digging these stories up and fleshing them out. We need to get back to doing that and stop with the bickering among ourselves. This is what our political enemies want, they want us to bicker among one another; so that we become less effective. We have to overcome that; and get to the bottom of what is really going on.
We have a Republic to save, we have liberty to protect, and we have a out of control Government that needs to be restrained. We must do our part.
Update: Oh, heck, I’ll toss in the obligatory video, it’s old school 1990’s stuff. But it makes the point:
Because if this here is any indication, we’re screwed.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Fears of going over the fiscal cliff were showing signs of receding on Wednesday, as both Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama indicated optimism about reaching a deal and U.S. stock markets rose.
In comments early Wednesday morning, Boehner said he was “optimistic that we can continue to work together to avert this crisis, and sooner rather than later.” The comments helped send U.S. stock markets higher, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI:DJIA) lately up about 78 points and the S&P 500 up 6 points. See Market Snapshot.
Obama, speaking at the White House, said he’s hopeful about striking a deal before Christmas.
“Our ultimate goal is an agreement that gets our long-term deficit under control in a way that is fair and balanced,” Obama said. “And I believe that both parties can agree on a framework that does that in the coming weeks.” Read more MarketWatch fiscal cliff coverage.
In a sign of intensifying negotiations, the Treasury said that Secretary Tim Geithner will hold talks on Thursday separately with Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, Boehner, and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. White House legislative director Rob Nabors will also participate.
Geithner will “continue discussing the actions we need to take to keep our economy growing and find a balance approach to reduce our deficit,” a Treasury statement said.
Chief among the sticking points: how to deal with competing positions on raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Obama on Wednesday again urged Congress to pass a bill extending tax breaks for all but the wealthiest 2% of Americans. Republicans insist that lower rates continue for all earners.
Exactly two years ago, some of the more politically biased progressive media outlets (who are quite adept at creating and taking down their own strawmen arguments, if not quite as adept at using an abacus, let alone a calculator) took offense at our article “In Entitlement America, The Head Of A Household Of Four Making Minimum Wage Has More Disposable Income Than A Family Making $60,000 A Year.” In it we merely explained what has become the painful reality in America: for increasingly more it is now more lucrative – in the form of actual disposable income – to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work. This is graphically, and very painfully confirmed, in the below chart from Gary Alexander, Secretary of Public Welfare, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (a state best known for its broke capital Harrisburg). As quantitied, and explained by Alexander, “the single mom is better off earnings gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045.”
