A followup on an previous entry
Now before I begin this, let me state for the record, that this is not a walk back of any sort, but rather a followup to an older posting.
It appears that when I posted my entry titled, “It’s a damned shame” that I did not have all of the information related to what was going on.
It does seem that a particular person does have a bit of a problem; and that problem is hate. For the record; yes, I did check out his timeline and yes, I did see some stuff that, yes, even bothered me.
Let me also state that I am one of the most open minded persons in the World. I even have been known to stick my own size 12 foot in my own mouth during the heat of the battle and I have ended up apologizing for it afterward too.
However, when I see someone joking about one of the biggest players in the Jewish Holocaust and thinking that it is actually funny — that is a problem. Please Note: I am not a rabid anything and I tend to keep in open mind. However, what happened during that time period is not funny or even something that should be even remotely joked about, at all. If one does this, it does, in my mind; bring into question one’s motives and — quite bluntly, their sanity.
Anyone that knows me and anything about my blogs that I have ran for the last 8 years; knows that I have been a “Tell it like it is, shoot from the hip” type of a guy. However, I also happen to be someone, who has a build-in moral compass. When that moral compass senses evil and wrong; I head in the opposite direction. This is what happened here and this is why I blocked said person mentioned in the blog posting linked to in this blog posting here. I also blocked a few of his friends too.
I tend to make a point to stay out of blog disputes and wars. But, I do not wish to be associated with those who traffic in hate. Not after what happened to me a few years ago. No way, No how.
Read this and try not to puke.
Ugh…..
Egypt’s National Council for Women is campaigning against the changes, saying that ‘marginalising and undermining the status of women would negatively affect the country’s human development’.
Dr Mervat al-Talawi, head of the NCW, wrote to the Egyptian People’s Assembly Speaker Dr Saad al-Katatni addressing her concerns.
Egyptian journalist Amro Abdul Samea reported in the al-Ahram newspaper that Talawi complained about the legislations which are being introduced under ‘alleged religious interpretations’.
Gross. Hmm, I wonder if Samantha Power would support something like this? or…. dare I say it? Obama? Hmmmm…

Remember Samantha Power?
It seems that Samantha Power has gotten a new job.
“Yid with a Lid” reports:
Only Barack Obama! Today the President tried to show he was a friend of the Jews with a beautifully crafted speech Holocaust Museum. Showing his words mean nothing, also today Samantha Power began work today as chair of President Barack Obama’s new Atrocities Prevention Board. If you don’t remember Ms Power she once called for a US force to invade Israel and force through a “peace settlement.” Powers also had some unflattering things to say about about America’s Jewish population during the 2008 campaign
How long do you think it will be before Powers uses that board as tool to de-legitimize Israel?

This lady is a real piece of work; head on over and check out the video over at Lid’s site. Previous Samantha Power offerings at my old blog here.
Why I am not a big fan of John Podhoretz
I support Israel and all; but this right here, is why I am not a huge fan of John Podhoretz.
Glenn Greenwald reports:
One reason I think this discussion is so important is because the manipulation of the term “terrorism” this way permits and bolsters (even if unintentionally) an extremely ugly, destructive, and toxic worldview, one which the Editor-in-Chief of Commentary Magazine, John Podhoretz, vividly expressed last night on Twitter when discussing the firing of Keith Olbermann by Current TV:
That’s about as overtly racist a statement from a media figure with a platform as you’ll see (and the it’s-just-a-joke excuse is obviously irrelevant: just imagine analogous “jokes” about how disfavored journalists would be punished at The Jerusalem Post, or Black Entertainment Television, etc.). To Podhoretz, Al Jazeera is filled with Arabs and Muslims, which means: The Terrorists (for many years after 9/11, that was virtually official U.S. government policy). Podhoretz is the same person who wrote a New York Post column in 2006 lamenting that in the early stages of the Iraq War, “we didn’t kill enough Sunnis in the early going to intimidate them and make them so afraid of us they would go along with anything,” suggesting that the big U.S. mistake in the war was allowing “the survival of Sunni men between the ages of 15 and 35.” Remember, though: it’s those Muslims who are The Terrorists (when influential American “terrorism experts” start talking about the John Podhoretzes of the world as terrorism advocates, and about “Shock and Awe“, the assault on Fallujah and the bombing of Gaza as terrorism, and about Ronald Reagan as a “state sponsor of terrorism” for his funding of El Salvadoran death squads and Nicaraguan contras, and about the parties responsible for the assassination of Iranian civilian scientists as international terrorists, then I’ll start to take the honorific more seriously).
I have no doubt that most respected “terrorism experts” would find Podhoretz’s comment about Al Jazeera repugnant. But the mentality on display here — and it’s quite pervasive (which is why this is one of the few remaining forms of overt bigotry that provokes no real sanction) — finds nourishment in the constant discussion of Terrorism, the Supreme Evil, as: acts of violence by Muslims directed at us (but not violence by our own government or those of its allies directed at Muslims).
The above is exactly why the libertarian crowd hates the Zionist crowd with a passion. This is why I am not a huge fan of John Podhoretz and his ilk. It is because they can make statements like this, without any repercussions. If someone, who is not a Zionist made a similar statement about Israel and Jews; they would be excoriated from one end of the blogosphere to the other. Mr. Glennwald has a very good point and I think everyone on the Jewish Conservative side of the political isle, ought to take a hard look at this and take it very seriously. If the Zionists want respect, they have to learn to respect others. Because not all Arabs out there are terrorists; just like not all blacks are murders, robbers, and so forth —- not all white people are robe and hood carrying Klansman. Some black liberals might think that, but I digress. Furthermore, not all Jews are evil bankers trying to overthrow the Country. See? It goes both ways. Someone needs to tell Podhoretz to keep his damned bigotry towards Arabs to himself.
Also too; anyone who believes that Jews can be insulted like this, and can get away with it —- ought to have a nice long talk — with Rick Sanchez.
Just a thought.
The latest on Sandra Fluck
I have not really blogged on this much; the kudos goes to this blogger for his fishing out the story on Sandra Fluck’s connections in the progressive movement.
Now the Democrats are crying antisemitism. Where were they when Alan Dershowitz was pointing out to everyone that Media Matters for America was antisemitic? These same democrats are now whining about privacy. The same people who dug up Joe the plumbers private records and exposed them.
Difference is, Joe’s info was private; this info on Fluck was ALL public info. Besides all that, this stupid woman put herself out there as some sort of victim; when in fact she is a professional activist and she got exposed. Boo hoo, crap happens. Take two mydol’s and call me in the morning.
Again, I love it when the left gets exposed like this. The hypocrisy is stunning.
I must take a stand for Israel
There is a time when one must be silent and there are times when one must speak out against what he knows is morally wrong; this is one of those times.
Those of you who are daily readers of this blog know that I voted for Ron Paul in the Michigan primary. I did this mainly because of my personal Christian (as lousy as I am at that practice) convictions and my anti-statist convictions; believe me when I tell you, I know full well about Ron Paul’s position of Israel, I know full well about his idiotic position of terrorism and foreign policy. I do not support that aspect of Ron Paul at all. However, I was just not willing to throw out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.
I am a very open-minded person, anyone who has followed my political blogging career, knows that. However, I just will not tolerate blind hatred of Jews, Israel and its right to exist as its own state. I am a born-again Christian of 29 years. I happen to accept, believe, and will defend to my dying day; that land of Israel is for God’s chosen people. I realize that some people might have a hard time believing that; but it is the truth and I would be willing to spend time in jail for the very purpose, if it ever became needful to do so.
Therefore, I am removing all links on this website to “The American Conservative.” I respect the opinions of Rod Dreher and of Daniel Larison. However, for me to have a link on this website to that website might signal to some that I totally agree with the editorial board with their position on Israel. Let me state emphatically in the strongest terms that I can present to my readers. Anyone who assumes that I agree with the idiotic position of the “American Conservative” is a moronic fool and does not know me or values that were instilled in me is a child in the Church.
The reason I have decided to this is that Scott McConnell, who is one of the founders of The American Conservative took to the magazine’s blog and boasted of the fact that he participated in the Anti-Semitic “Occupy AIPAC” demonstration in Washington D.C. This is inexcusable in my opinion, the occupy movement has been a hotbed of hatred, class warfare and Anti-Semitism. If Mr. McConnell believes that the occupy movement is even remotely a Conservative movement or a pro-American movement then he has a serious problem.
If Rod Dreher and of Daniel Larison should ever decide to leave the American Conservative and blog elsewhere I will consider linking to their posting and writing about it on this blog. Until this, I will not be linking to any of their writings anymore. Because there is one thing that I will never support and that is Jew hatred and that is what this “occupy APIAC” is all about, hatred of Israel, hatred of Jews and hatred if everything related to that — including American’s capitalistic system.
Furthermore, I have removed Ron Paul’s graphic and link to his site from this blog. As much as I agree with Ron Paul’s federalism, as much as I agree with Ron Paul’s disagreement with the Wilsonian foreign policy crowd. I do not want to be associated with anyone who has associations with Jew haters and Ron Paul is often lauded by the American Conservative magazine.
I am an avid supporter of freedom of speech and diversity of political opinion, but there are just some political opinion and some kinds of speech that very unsuitable for mainstream consumption. The American Conservative is one of those publications and I do not wish to be associated with it. In other words, I would not link to neo-Nazi website on this blog, and I will not link to a website or publication that shares these sorts of views when it comes to Jews and Israel.
I believe that Ron Paul does not win Presidential elections for a very good reason, and this that I have highlighted is one of them. For the record, I do not know that Ron Paul totally agrees with the nonsense spewed at this magazine or its website. However, his position of Israel speaks volumes. Again, my vote for Ron Paul was a protest vote against the big government statism that has become the norm in the Republican Party. Nothing further, than that, should be derived, from my voting for Ron Paul.
I just will not support bigots, hate mongers, or racists; I was not raised to think like that, anyone who might have assumed anything other than that which I have written above; was quite highly mistaken. My battle on this blog is limited to the far liberal left in this Country and its politics, how they poison the minds of the black community and other minorities as well. My battle is not one of skin color at all. Nor is it against the Jews or Israel. If anyone happened to come to this blog and assumed that, you were wrong and I apologize for the confusion.
‘You Get What You Deserve, White Boy’
You think only white people can be racist? You think that racial violence happens to blacks?
Think again. Here’s some video for you: (via the Blaze)
The story via blaze:
Police in Kansas City are investigating a possible hate crime after a 13-year-old boy was doused in gasoline and set on fire. According to Allen Goin’s mother, the attack occurred just as her son was getting home from school. She said, “They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open…one of them poured gasoline, then flicked the Bic and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve white boy.’”
The police say the boy was engulfed in a “large fireball,” but was able to beat out the flames to call 911 and his father. In addition to suffering first degree burns, he has lost his eyebrows, eyelashes, and part of the skin on his face. There is also long-term concern about his eyes and lungs.
The family intends to move out of fear that the attackers went to their son’s school, which KMBC reports he will not return to. Melissa Coon, the boy’s mother, said her youngest son, 5, asked her, “Mom, am I going to get set on fire today?”
“I was in tears,” she said.
Now I am going to make something very clear here; I do not advocate any sort of racism or racial violence towards black people at all. In fact, I find the mentality of the white nationalists, skinheads, neo-Nazis and other sort of people to be deplorable. One cannot fight race hatred with race hated, because it is a sick mentality. However, I believe it is very important to point out that the liberal left in this Country or the progressive left, if you wish to call them that — are the ones who foster this sort of mentality of racial bigotry between the races. They have been doing it for years and it does not look like it is going to change anytime soon.
I also find it amazing that in the first video, nothing was said about race at all. In the second video, you see the mother use the term, “White Boy.” However, the suspect’s race was never brought up at all, in either news report; that is because the liberal left in this Country with their “Frankfort School of Political Correctness” tells these news outlets not to mention the race of the people who commit the crimes, especially if they are black. This is because it destroys the narrative that only white people, like me, commit racially based crimes and never blacks or Latinos. Again, this is the influence and the power that the radical left holds in this Country’s media; I know personally too well about it. My cousin Michael Hill was murdered by three corrupt black Detroit police officers in 1994. The details of his death were totally lied about to the media; did any media people both in investigate about how he really died? Not one media outlet would even cover it. This is because the cops were black and my cousin, who was only 24, was white.
This is why I run this blog; this is why I write with such fury about the progressive left. This is why I seem to have it out for the Democratic Party. Because they have ruined my Country, because they hate America and values we stand for. Because when they are not spewing racism from websites, or are demanding Americans to pay for their sexual adventures, then when their activists get mocked by the right, they demand we apologize — all the while, they mock Christians and citizens of the south, when they are not trying to murder our white children.
I am a White Conservative, I am a White Christian, I am Andrew Breitbart — and this is war. 😡
Video: Kira Davis for Republican President in 2016!
It’s too late for 2012, but man she would get my vote in 2016 in a heartbeat! This is Kira Davis. I would say that I am smitten; but, naturally, she’s married. Heart-Ache, Heart-Ache indeed. 🙁

Former Ron Paul Ally confronts Paul on double dipping on expenses
Proving my ever-growing suspicions on this guy:
In March 2005, David James called Rep. Ron Paul’s (R-Texas) Congressional office for some documentation.
James’s nonprofit group, the Liberty Committee, had paid for one of Paul’s flights, and James needed a receipt or boarding pass to document the expense. He’d been pushing Paul for the paperwork and now, on the phone, he was “putting his foot down.”
“So I called the office manager,” James recalled. “They knew me, like, as well as they knew Ron. And I said, ‘Liberty Committee is paying for this expense. I need to get the boarding pass or the ticket or something.’”
The office manager said Paul’s Congressional office no longer had documentation for that flight; Paul had sent it in to the House Finance Office for reimbursement. But Liberty Committee had already sent a check to American Express to cover the charge on Paul’s credit card.
“I don’t care what flights the Liberty Committee pays for,” James said, “because Ron never took enough in expenses to come anywhere near his value to us. And this was piddly. But it’s just what it was.”
James first thought it was accidental and faxed a letter to Paul’s office, requesting that its money be returned for the flight. Paul did repay the $403.70, but the episode strained their relationship and led to a falling out a year later.
In a subsequent conversation, James raised the issue, and Paul “was very curt, and he simply said, ‘Yep, well, happens all the time,’” James, 64, told Roll Call.
via Associate Confronted Rep. Ron Paul About Flights : Roll Call News.
Ed Morrissey also writes about this, and thinks that Ron Paul should come clean or face a house ethics committee hearing. I wholeheartedly agree. If you are going to pawn yourself off as the most honest person on capital hill; you should try actually being the most honest person on capital hill. I have written on my previous blog about this man’s claims to be the most honest politician, and for a short time, I actually believed that, but as time wore on, I began to read about the stuff that Mr. Paul does and does not want his own followers really knowing about it. But, I, as well as other bloggers have documented his antics for a while now.
While Mr. Paul might have some very good ideas on capitalism, free trade and our monetary system; his utter hypocrisy when it comes to issues like this and his utter idiotic ideas on foreign policy handicap him. Not only this, but his past writings that did have his name on them, and his associations with Jew haters, racists and other such sort of nonsense make him someone, despite what I said recently, which was honestly in jest; that I could never, in good conscience vote for in a million years. All one would need to do is look through the archives of my previous blog to see all the stuff that I have written about the man over the past 6 years.
Again, while I can appreciate his opposition to Wilsonian foreign policy; something that I have spoken out against myself here, and I can and do agree with very much, as much as I agree with his idea of free trade, free markets and the gold standard. I cannot side with this man because of the rest of his problems. As I have said on this blog and my previous blog many, many times; Ron Paul is NOT, nor has he EVER been the Messianic figure that many of his well-intentioned followers assumed him to be. This proves that and if the Ron Paul crowd had any sort of common sense at all; they would back away from Ron Paul and support someone who could actually fix this Nation’s problems.
However, if I know the Ron Paul crowd like I do; they will simply dismiss this true story, as some sort of Jewish conspiracy by the Illuminati and the Bilderberg boys to keep him from winning the White House, which is pretty much par for their course. I could tell you stories of how when I, on my previous blog, would write something even remotely critical of Ron Paul; my inbox would overflow with Ron Paul supporters calling me everything from a Neo-Con (which is Jew in Ron Paul speak) to a Bush-lover. Once, though, one of them went over the line and sent a death threat via e-mail. I did report that to the FBI in Detroit. This is why I try to avoid writing about the man. Because his most devout followers are absolutely insane.
Trust me, when I tell you this; the left’s crazies, have nothing on Ron Paul’s crazies. 😯
