Short Bio: I started blogging about politics in 2006, as a populist, skeptical left of center type, with a blog called simply, "The Populist."I suspect, but cannot prove; that my blog might have been hacked by some evil neoconservatives. I cannot prove that at all and also too, around the same time. Hackers from China where attacking wordpress blogs. I believe either the Neocons or the Chinese got my site. I don't know honestly know which.Either way, by 2007, I began to see that I really did not fit within the Democrat Party and liberal circles and after my blog was hacked; I created a blog called "Political Byline" and I kept writing; first as a Centrist and then as a Conservative PopulistFor my long bio, see the "About Me" section on this blog.

Pew Poll: Most leftists hate America and everything it stands for

This is something that I have known for a very long time. Especially since I started blogging back in 2006. However, it became very real to me, around 2007, when I saw that the left no longer stood for America and its founding values. I hate to say it, but it is very and sadly true.

The Graphic:

Polls do not lie! You cannot say this is a Fox News poll either. It’s a pew research poll.

Via The Washington Post:

Michelle Obama took some heat in 2008 for saying that, “for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country…”

As it turns out, that sentiment isn’t all that unusual on the far left of American politics. According to a new Pew Research Center study, only 40 percent of consistently liberal Americans say they often feel proud to be Americans.

The other 60 percent say that doesn’t describe them.

The finding is contained in Pew’s new “Political Typology” report, which breaks Americans down into seven different categories — rather than the usual three. Among the seven categories, “solid liberals” are the only group in which a majority say they aren’t regularly proud to be Americans.

This is due to one thing and one thing alone: Cultural Marxism.

Others: JustOneMinute, Weasel Zippers and Washington Free Beacon

 

W. James Antle III at the Daily Caller says, “Pat Buchanan was right all along”

I think this is a refreshing change of pace. This would have never been printed on a Conservative website in 2003.:

Many of the people you now see on your television offering advice about what to do next in Iraq weren’t terribly prescient the first time around. They or their bosses thought the war likelier to last six days or six weeks than six months. They feared a nuclear-armed Saddam Hussein.

“The United States overestimated the threat from Saddam Hussein in 2003,” David Frum acknowledges in 2014. “Without an active nuclear-weapons program, he was not a danger beyond his immediate vicinity. That war cost this country dearly.”

Perhaps the war pundits’ flawed track record is understandable. “Rarely do wars, once begun, work out as anticipated,” wrote Pat Buchanan on the eve of the Iraq war.

But some people anticipated more than others. Buchanan predicted the initial invasion would go well. “An Iraqi air defense, unable to shoot down a single U.S. plane in 40,000 sorties in ten years, cannot long withstand U.S. air power that can deliver 1,000 smart bombs and cruise missiles on target each day,” he observed. “And Iraqi ground forces cannot long resist Abrams tanks that can guarantee the kill of an Iraqi armored vehicle with every shell fired.”

The occupation, however, would be another story. And instead of washing in a tidal wave of liberal democracy across the region, Buchanan warned a prolonged campaign in Iraq might empower anti-American, anti-Western and anti-Israel political forces.

“What would it profit America to march to Baghdad,” he asked, “only to have Cairo fall to anti-American mobs?”

After the Muslim Brotherhood interlude in Egypt, it’s no longer an open question.

If only more people, like this man, realized that Pat Buchanan was right. Maybe Dick Cheney would have to find a new career.

Link removed on Blogroll

Just some quick housekeeping here.

For a long time, I had a link on my blogroll to a site called Jesus-is-saviour.com that is owned by David J. Stewart, who lives in Guam. Well, I have known about that website since my returning to the Independent, Fundamental, Baptist type of Churches and Doctrine.

However, I was not aware at all that Mr. Stewart was involved in a sex related crime and was also putting things on his website that were questionable at best. I just happened to google his name and noticed these things. I am fully aware that the people making these accusations against him are not Fundamental Baptists and they are in disagreement with the belief that the King James Bible is the Word of God for the english speaking people. However, screenshots and public records do not lie.

Therefore, after some thought and prayer, I have decided to remove his link from this site. I truly hope that Mr. Stewart gets his life in order and his heart right with the Lord. What he is doing is a terrible sin and is damaging to the IFB movement and to the Church as a whole. I simply do not want to be associated with someone, who has been accused of such things and with someone who has those sort of feelings about Israel and the Jews. Plainly put; anyone who accuses the Jews of doing 9/11 has no business being linked to by this blog. I truly hope that other IFB websites who link to this man, will remove his links; because this man’s site is dangerous and could cause a young believer in the Lord to go astray.

….and I do not want that on my conscience.

Video: Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies in Idaho shoot one suspect

Why did several agencies descend on one person?

Video via Facebook:

Post by Julian Mosher.

That sound is the kid’s dog whimpering. The gunfire sounds are scaring him, most likely.

But, that is a bunch of fire power, for one person.

The Story via KREM.COM:

POST FALLS, Idaho.—Authorities shut down part of I-90 early Sunday morning to investigate a multi-agency officer involved shooting in Post Falls.

Authorities said officers and deputies from the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office, Coeur d’Alene Police Department, Post Falls Police and Idaho State Police were involved in an early morning shooting near the Spokane Street overpass. The lone suspect was taken to Kootenai Health and listed in critical condition Sunday morning according to the Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office.

Idaho State Police said the westbound lanes of I-90 were closed between Highway 41 and Spokane Street. The eastbound lanes on this stretch of the interstate were unaffected.

The freeway remained closed well into the morning Sunday as law enforcement continued investigating at the scene.  Authorities said it was unclear when the westbound lanes would reopen.

The Critical Incident Task Force, led by the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office, launched an investigation.

Police State? Ya think?

Here’s hoping

That the man who wrote this here dies from a bad case of ass cancer. 😡

I mean, my Dad is a retired General Motors worker of 31 years. This guy owned a supplier for GM and ended up losing his business. Cry me a river, he should have ran his business better. Instead, he blames General Motors and the unions for his failure. He should look in the mirror first.

 

 

Just for the record: I do not endorse burning mosques down

I happened to see this on a anti-jihadi blog that I happen to link to; and needless to say, I am quite disappointed to see them taking the stance that they did on there. 🙁

The reason why I say this is because burning someone’s house of worship down; because you happen to disagree with their beliefs smacks of fascism of the highest order. My friends, if someone who was an atheist — or worse, a Muslim — burned down a Christian Church or worse, a Jewish synagogue; the outrage in the Christian and Jewish World, not to mention the Conservative world would be utterly deafening. But yet, these people at that blog say that this burning of a mosque is perfectly fine? I seriously do not think so!

As much as I know Jihad is an issue, as much as I know Sharia law is an issue, as much as I know the infiltration of Islam into American culture is an issue; I simply cannot and will not ever believe that burning of Religious houses of worship to be an acceptable practice, ever. There is a line that you simply do not cross and this is one of them with me.

If someone suspects that radical Jihad doctrine is being preached in one of these mosques; then let the United States Government handle it —– doing this sort of a thing does nothing to solve the issue of radical Islam. In fact, it only serves to motivate terrorists to carry out acts against Americans.

There is a fine line between being aware and blind hate; and wise is the man who knows the difference between the two.

Video: Communists meeting at a college shut down meeting rather than allow blogger to film them

Communists never like when real Americans want to expose them for what they really truly are: (WARNING! LANGUAGE)

(H/T to Daylight Disinfectant)

The story:

Dateline Monday June 16, 2014 – Portland Oregon: On Thursday evening I decided to attend and film an event called “The Edifice Complex – A critique of how Capitalism Affects the Built Environment.” Held at Portland State University (PSU), this was an event open to the public. I went to sit and peacefully film. The event was sponsored by the International Socialists Organization (ISO) which teaches Trotsky Communism. Grant Booth, a senior member of the organization, who teaches Marxism at the University, decided to try to have me ejected. Booth’s group is heavily subsidized by the taxpayer on campus. After giving me looks that could kill, Booth calls Campus security. When Security arrives they of course tell me I can stay.

Update: Here is my video commentary on the above video and story:

This right here is why the GOP should fight Hillary tooth and nail come 2016

I saw this over at Hotair.com and honestly, I was gobsmacked. 😯 If the GOP does not fight this crazy woman tooth and nail from now until 2016; and we lose this next election, there are going to be some seriously pissed off people in America. Namely, Gun owners.

This quote comes from Time Magazine, and comes via Mary Katharine Ham — this is Hillary Clinton describing her opponents:

We cannot let a minority of people, and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people, hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” Clinton said during a live CNN town hall.

Wow…. just…wow. MKH over at HotAir.com breaks this down in a big way, and I might be excessively quoting here a bit…; but, my friends, this one is warranted in a big way:

“We,” said the aspiring head of the federal government,
“cannot let”—As in, “allow.” What remedy, pray tell, does she have in mind for this outrageous epidemic in free thought?
“a minority of people”—The minority, the protection of whose rights Thomas Jefferson called a “sacred principle” in his First Inaugural Address and whose endangerment at the hands of a tyrannical majority James Madison called the Republic’s “great danger?”
“and that’s what it is, it is a minority of people”— Regardless of the truth of this dubious assertion, she seems to repeat it to justify her advocacy for the prohibition of the minority’s dissent, which makes it sound like someone never glanced at a Founding document. “Screw ‘em, majority rules,” the working draft of the Constitution proclaimed.
“hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority.”— Let me see if I can rephrase the idea of a “viewpoint that terrorizes the majority” in such a way that a longtime Democratic politician might understand it. There’s an old adage originally used to describe journalism and oft repeated by the activist Left to give itself airs— “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

Hillary Clinton and liberal activists are the comfortable. They require a “safe place” where the presence of others who deign to disagree cannot “trigger” them. Your mere opposition to an asinine limit on mag capacity, which was a demonstrable disaster in incompetent governance in her home state of New York, rises to the level of “terrorizing” for a woman who famously couldn’t figure out if that term applied to anyone involved in Benghazi. But for you, law-abiding citizen, not a problem.

Much of the Left desires that criticisms of gun control policies be banished from the public square. Espousing them is abetting child murder, in their eyes, no matter how much evidence or what arguments Second Amendment activists marshal. Hearing this argument from fellow citizens who call themselves liberal is disappointing.

Hearing it from a potential presidential candidate is creepy. Especially one who’d be taking the reins from an administration that flagrantly uses the power of the federal government to get people it doesn’t like to stop saying things of which it does not approve.

Hopefully, the guys over at HotAir do not mind me quoting that one to death. My friends, let me blunt here; this is not your boilerplate blue-collar Democrat party stuff, not at least from where I sit. This is actually neoliberal Marxism. This is right in line with communist repression of freedom of thought. This is the kind of stuff that turned me against the left. My jaw almost hit the floor when I saw this one. 😯

This right here, should be used by the GOP against Hillary should she decide to run. They should not give her a pass on this one at all. This is anti-Americanism at its most lethal form. This is the same mentality that pushed Bill Clinton to tell Janet Reno to send the tanks in at Waco many years ago. That somehow those that disagree with you are somehow a threat. This stuff is quite scary; and can have some dangerous fallout to those who happen to support their first and second amendment rights.

I always knew that the Clinton’s were pretty brutal, when it came to politics; just did not think that they were this brutal. I think it goes without saying that, at this point, I am not ready for Hillary; and if the rest of the America has any sense, neither will they be either.
