Explaining myself a bit

I don’t have to do this, but I shall, just in case.

Again, she continues to prove to this Paleoconservative/libertarian-minded person; that she is nothing more than a Neoconservative shill, and a very poor one at that.

Two things:

  1. It warms the cackles of my heart to know that I have ticked off the Coulter-bots. I love it when I tell the truth about the neoconservative right and it angers them. If I am angering them, then I am doing something right. Good to know! 😀
  2.  About the “paleoconservative/libertarian-minded person” bit. I feel the need to say this because I do have it that I am an independent politically. I am truly am, I am not committed to either of these parties, as I see them both is inherently corrupt. But my personal political leanings are of the small Government, non-imperialistic convictions of say Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, and yes, even Barry Goldwater.

Just clearing that up a bit.

 

 

Local Story: Nazi sympathizer gets popped with 18 weapons, 40,000 rounds of ammo and a hit list

I touched on this in my last posting and I am glad to see that they got this turkey:

The Video:

The Story:

Detroit (WXYZ) – In December the FBI arrested a man named Richard Schmidt.  Investigators say he is a Neo-Nazi supporter and  a convicted felon.

Now we are learning the Ohio man may have been planning to target some metro-Detroit leaders.

The FBI recently notified Detroit NAACP President Wendell Anthony and Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit Executive Director Scott Kaufman that their names were on a hit list found in Schmidt’s belongings.

“We get threats all the time in terms of the work that we do…NAACP, Social Justice, Civil Rights…but this was different,” said Anthony.

The FBI says it appears that Schmidt, 47, planned to attack soon.

He should not have had any guns under the law, but when they raided his home and business they found he was heavily armed.

“We owe the FBI and our other law enforcement partners our thanks that they caught this man with 18 firearms- some of them assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition and a bulletproof vest stored in a locked room in a mall, before anyone was hurt,” said Steven M Dettelbach, United States Attorney in a press release.

via FBI: Armed Neo-Nazi supporter put metro-Detroit Jewish and civil rights leaders on a hit list.

I have seen a few comments here and there about this story. I am going to say this about it; it is one thing to have a opinion about Neoconservatives, Wilsonian foreign policy and such. But it is another entirely to be armed to the tooth and have a hit list. Whoever this guy is, it is obvious that he had criminal intentions and did intend to carry them out on these people.

As you all know, I am a right-of-center blogger and I do not usually have much good to say about the United States Government and its various agencies. However, in this instance, the United States Government and the Federal Bureau of Investigation did very well catching this guy before anything bad happened. Again, as I said, it is one thing to dislike a group of people and dislike identity politics and those who traffic in it. It is another entirely to plan out and carry criminal actions of this sort.

I happen to believe in “Rule of Law.” and I happen to believe that this upholding of the law, is a very good thing.

However, I will say this: How is it, that this man was jailed. But, this little Neo-Nazi Here remains a free man, even after scamming as many people as he did? Just asking questions.

 

FYI: Freinds do not let friends donate to Jim Robinson’s FreeRepublic.com

I feel the need to report this to everyone who reads here and to those who happen to read over the forum known as FreeRepublic.Com.

I have been a member there for a while and I even donated $5.00 to their fundraiser. Well, today, I went over a posted on a local story here about a Neo-Nazi who got nailed down in Ohio for Weapons and other such stuff.

Anyhow, I go back to FreeRepublic.com later on and this is what I see:

freeperrevoked
Posting privileged removed, no warning, no second chances, nothing at all. This was AFTER I donated $5.00 to his cause!

This was after I donated to his cause, see here:

freeperdonation
Is this how Free Republic treats those who donate to their cause? Seems a bit shady to me. Either way, I’m blogging on it, so that other Conservatives can be aware of Jim Robinson’s actions.

I really do not know what I did to deserve my posting privileged being revoked. But, they were, and really for no reason, other than maybe I was not Conservative enough for them or whatever. I think all Conservatives ought to be really leery of donating to FreeRepublic.com.

Another reason why I do not take Ann Coulter very seriously at all

Is because of stupidity like this here: (H/T Mediaite)

For one, she is an establishment Republican and a RINO. For two, she is a dedicated Neoconservative, warmongering twat, who has her tongue planted firmly in the ass of the Jewish Right. Thirdly, her arguments are statist in Nature. She claims because we live in a socialist state, that we must accept a small bit of Christian Statism. These are simple arguments and idiotic at best.

If she looked like Candy Cowley, not one person would honestly give two flips about her. But, because she is this “beautiful”, but terminally unsexable woman; everyone seems to care what this idiot woman seems to think.

I used to carry this twat’s books in my bookstore. No longer. I stopped after her crass use of the word “retard.” Something that I happen to know a little about myself. Again, she continues to prove to this Paleoconservative/libertarian-minded person; that she is nothing more than a Neoconservative shill, and a very poor one at that.

Someone please tell Bill O’Reilly this, thanks.

Well put, I must say: 

Northern intellectuals, then, need to get over their snobbery about the South. The Southern model is based on more than beggar-thy-neighbor policies. In any case, it seems to be working. On the other hand, the South’s boosters shouldn’t exaggerate its distinctiveness. Like the North, the South does best when it encourages innovation and high-skill employment. And that takes more than just cutting taxes and regulation. – Is America’s Future Southern? | The American Conservative

Someone finally said it, something that I have been thinking for a very long time. 

Yes, and send me a few hundred million too!

I guess it is the wealthy’s job to bail out Detroit, which is swirling the drain.

DETROIT, MI – This city apparently has a friend in actress Mia Farrow who believes its times for the nation’s wealthiest people to help save the Motor City and other cash-strapped municipalities.

Farrow posted on her Twitter page Wednesday morning that “Detroit is near bankrupt” and that “now is the time for all good billionaires to come to the aide of our country” and “invest in USA and our youth.”

via Mia Farrow orders ‘all good billionaires’ to help cash-strapped Detroit, other cities facing fiscal woes | MLive.com.

 

This is the tweet that I sent back to Mia Farrow:

How much you want to bet that she will not respond? 🙄

UPDATED: Detroit continues its swirl down the drain

But simply, this is what happens when you pursue a socialist agenda. This might just be America in a few years.

Via WXYZ-TV:

(WXYZ) – After reviewing the city’s finances, Detroit’s Financial Review Team has concluded that a financial emergency exists within the City of Detroit and it will be up to Governor Rick Snyder to determine if the state should extend a consent agreement with the city to resolve the crisis – or appoint an emergency financial manager.

In the report, the Review Team states there is no satisfactory plan that exists to resolve a serious financial problem.

Here’s the documents:

I would assume that this basically means that Detroit is just downright broke. It’s sad too. Detroit was once a great city, but it has gone downhill since Mayor Young took it over in 1978.

I think all Americans ought to take a hard look at this, and ask yourselves, “Do I want this for America?”

Just my Opinion.

Update: Yikes Indeed. Ordinarily, I would be a bit ticked off about a blog posting of this sort about Detroit. However, I will fully concede the point that Detroit has made a good deal of mistakes over the years; some that predate even me.  One of which was chasing the only honest black man who was Mayor of that city in the 1990’s in favor of a corrupt Democrat Mayor that is now looking at some sweet jail time for his corruption. The second major mistake was the throwing off of the free market capitalism in favor of an entitlement, racially based, socialist system that ended up bankrupting the city. It is a sad thing to say about one’s hometown; but it is, inevitably, the truth. I just hope and pray that Michigan can fix the problem, before things get worse down there. Because sometimes, Detroit’s problems spill over into the suburbs.

Still, it is a bit tough to see the city that I grew up in, as a kid, going through the stuff that it is going through; all the while knowing that it all could have been prevented. It does sadden me to my core. Detroit was once a great city, and now, it is, what it is. Which is nothing short of a crap-hole of socialism, black entitlement and utter waste. If anything, for the United States of America, Detroit should be an example of what not to do, when running a city.

Just my opinion.

 

Some tough questions for Sen. John McCain

In light of the grilling that Chuck Hagel received at the hands of the Jewish right,  Paul Abrams has some very tough questions for John McCain:

1. You are trying to establish accountability for Benghazi where four Americans tragically died. For clarification, nearly 12 years later, could you tell us whom you hold accountable for 9/11/2001 when 3,000 Americans died?

2. No WMD were found in Iraq. Whom do you hold accountable for taking us into war based upon cherry-picking the information, deliberately misleading the American people and you?

3. Did you read the entire National Intelligence Estimate prior to voting for the Iraq War? What did you make of the doubts and uncertainties expressed in that document?

4. Prior to the invasion of Iraq, you said that we would be greeted as liberators and that the war would last 18 months. In fact, it lasted 9 years, 4,400 Americans were killed, 32,000 were seriously injured, and it cost more than $1 Trillion. Do you hold yourself accountable for that bad judgment? If so, what consequences are there to you for being so wrong?

5. Do you believe that the U.S. should support Israel’s foreign policy no matter what? If not, can you tell us what Israel has ever done with which you disagree?

These are questions that Independent thinking Americans, like myself, really want to know the answers to. Because the way I see if, the Republicans are going to bitch and gripe about Libya, then we should open it up to 9/11 as well. Who failed us? and why have they not been brought to justice too?

I admit it, in the beginning, I have some serious issues with what happened in Libya. I still think it could have been handled better than it was handled. But, the Republicans got the information that they wanted and yet, they still keep pressing for stuff that is just not there. You know why they keep pressing? Well, for one, partisanship and for two, they are resentful of a black President. It is just that simple. It is called racial resentment.

It is same thing that Obama did, when he let those 4 white guys die in Libya. He let them die, because they were white. Instead of the Republicans being better than Obama, they are playing the same game in reverse. It is sick and sad thing, and it sucks that the taxpayers money is paying for such monkeyshine nonsense!

Just my opinion.

Video: Some seriously weapons-grade stupidity!

I might not be the brightest bulb in the box, but even I know this is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard, when it comes to a woman and rape; and yes, I know about Akin and yes, I thought that was rather moronic too.

The Video: (via Revealing Politics)

Quotable quote:

“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at,” Salazar remarked in debate late Friday night. “And you don’t know if you feel like you’re gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone’s been following you around or if you feel like you’re in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop around at somebody.

They ought to keep knives away from that fella; he might hurt someone! 😯

For the record, the man did apologize:

“I’m sorry if I offended anyone. That was absolutely not my intention,” Salazar said. “We were having a public policy debate on whether or not guns makes people safer on campus. I don’t believe they do. That was the point I was trying to make. If anyone thinks I’m not sensitive to the dangers women face, they’re wrong. “I am a husband and father of two beautiful girls, and I’ve spent the last decade defending women’s rights as a civil rights attorney. Again, I’m deeply sorry if I offended anyone with my comments.”

If that were not bad enough, there is this bit of loony business from University of Colorado. Which comes Via HotAir.com, who says, ” This would be the liberal-sanctioned method of self-defense if the Rep. Salazar method of hoping real hard doesn’t pan out. Passive resistance, bare feet, and your period.” Ugh. Nice mental image there. 🙄

Quote:

Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.

Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.

Kick off your shoes if you have time and can’t run in them.

Don’t take time to look back; just get away.

If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.

Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.

Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.

Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!

Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.

Remember, every emergency situation is different. Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.

…and then, there’s this in Washington State:

It seemed in recent weeks lawmakers might be headed toward some common-sense regulation of gun sales. But then last week they went too far. By mistake, they claim. But still too far.

“They always say, we’ll never go house to house to take your guns away. But then you see this, and you have to wonder.”

That’s no gun-rights absolutist talking, but Lance Palmer, a Seattle trial lawyer and self-described liberal who brought the troubling Senate Bill 5737 to my attention. It’s the long-awaited assault-weapons ban, introduced last week by three Seattle Democrats.

Responding to the Newtown school massacre, the bill would ban the sale of semi-automatic weapons that use detachable ammunition magazines. Clips that contain more than 10 rounds would be illegal.

But then, with respect to the thousands of weapons like that already owned by Washington residents, the bill says this:

“In order to continue to possess an assault weapon that was legally possessed on the effective date of this section, the person possessing shall … safely and securely store the assault weapon. The sheriff of the county may, no more than once per year, conduct an inspection to ensure compliance with this subsection.”

In other words, come into homes without a warrant to poke around. Failure to comply could get you up to a year in jail.

Yeah! Good luck enforcing that bill! First time a cop gets shot in the goddamned head, when some homeowner is not too keen on some police officer coming to take his guns; that thing will off the books. So much for the Forth Amendment eh?

Let me also say this too. I might not be to happy with the Republican Party and the Conservative movement at the moment. But, this right here, and two other major issues; is why I basically said that the Democrats were not getting my vote anymore. There are a whole bunch of things that really need to change in that party, before this little fat white boy ever comes back to the Democrat side. This is one of those things. The two others is the “gay rights and marriage” thing and Abortion. I just cannot justify killing babies at all. Sorry, just will not tolerate it or agree with it at all. Incest and Rape are one thing; but the wholesale slaughter of a baby, because you are too damned stupid or irresponsible to care for that child is just not cool in my book.

I might support the unions, and that is largely because of my Father and what they have done for him. But, the second amendment is just one place, that you do not tread with me. Sorry, don’t care what people think about it. Screw ’em if they do not get it. I really do not care, either way.

Hillary Clinton goes on speaking tour

I would say that this is a sign that she is not running in 2016. But, these days, who knows? She could be doing the speaking tour to warm up for a political run in 2016. 

EXCLUSIVE: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will hit the paid speaking circuit this spring (likely April or May) and has selected the Harry Walker Agency, which represents President Clinton, as her agent. Industry officials expect that she will be one of the highest paid speakers in the history of the circuit, with fees well into the six figures in the United States and abroad.  Secretary Clinton will likely do some speeches for no fee for causes she champions, and expects to occasionally donate her fees for charitable purposes. Clinton, who will maintain her homes in Washington and Chappaqua, is also beginning to make decisions about the book she has said she will write, an account of her four years as secretary of State. Non-profit work will be another component of her new life, perhaps through her husband’s foundation or one of her own. — HILLARY CLINTON UNVEILS FIRST PHASE OF NEW LIFE -POLITICO.com

Either way, I wish her the best. I think it would be interesting to see Hillary Clinton and a Republican woman run for President. It would make for some interesting debates, especially on Abortion. If anything at all, it would be fun to see who could out-harpy the other. You know, two feminists, screaming at each other as to whom was the more self-important. It would, if anything, make for some very funny TV. 

Just my opinion.
