On Douthat
Yes, I’ve heard about it. I really do not have anything negative to say about him going to the NYT. Douthat on the other hand, I found to be a bit snobbish. I once sent him an e-mail and never got a response. I suppose that Mr. Douthat, a beltway type; has no time for us amateur basement dwellers. Which is pretty fucking ironic, because that is how this whole blogging thing got started, by a bunch of basement dwellers who decided to start writing about politics; Liberal, Conservative, and yes even Libertarian…. and decided to make our own damned community.
I agree with the fact that Douthat will most likely will do better than David Brooks, and believe that is not saying much at all. Brooks was about a fucking idiot. He was a perfect example of the idiotic mumbling that comes out of the Neo-Conservative circles anymore. Which is why the Harlem globetrotter is in the White House now.
Anyhow, I hope he does well and gets his facts straight, because God-knows the Republican Party needs a image makeover right now.

An Interesting Video
Okay, I’d like some feedback on this video here. (H/T to this guy)
Not sure what to think…. Opinions Please.
The only part I really disagreed with is, the part about a Republican style of Government. I do not believe that it was referring to the modern day Republican Party, But rather was referring to a Republic style of Government and not the actual party itself. This would be in contrast to British Monarchy or a, dare I say it? A Socialist Democracy. 😀
Again, feedback, Please, comment!

Why I totally reject the so-called "Warning" from David Wilkerson
I noticed here as of lately that on WorldNetDaily, that David Wilkerson has issued a so-called “Warning” and advice to Christians everywhere about some so-called horrific event that is going to take place.
I want it to be known publicly, that I feel that David Wilkerson has had nothing more than an overactive imagination. Which is about all Pentecostals ever have.
I say this, because David Wilkerson is nothing more than a Pentecostal Christian, he is one of the many deluded Christians that possess the flawed belief system, that God is still speaking today, that healing was promised in the atonement, that “Speaking in tongues” is a legit belief system; despite that the fact that the Bible proves that very wrong.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am a former Pentecostal, who came out of that silly bunch of nonsense, after 21 years, of watching that movement steadily veer towards liberal Christianity. I am now a Fundamentalist Christian, my doctrine is of the Baptist nature.
There are a bunch of articles that bring out the nonsensical beliefs that Pentecostals Teach, I highly recommend them to read:

Some books to read about the false doctrine of Pentecostalism:
The "so-called' Collapse of Evangelical Christianity.
I have my doubts about this:
We are on the verge – within 10 years – of a major collapse of evangelical Christianity. This breakdown will follow the deterioration of the mainline Protestant world and it will fundamentally alter the religious and cultural environment in the West.
Within two generations, evangelicalism will be a house deserted of half its occupants. (Between 25 and 35 percent of Americans today are Evangelicals.) In the “Protestant” 20th century, Evangelicals flourished. But they will soon be living in a very secular and religiously antagonistic 21st century.
This collapse will herald the arrival of an anti-Christian chapter of the post-Christian West. Intolerance of Christianity will rise to levels many of us have not believed possible in our lifetimes, and public policy will become hostile toward evangelical Christianity, seeing it as the opponent of the common good.
Millions of Evangelicals will quit. Thousands of ministries will end. Christian media will be reduced, if not eliminated. Many Christian schools will go into rapid decline. I’m convinced the grace and mission of God will reach to the ends of the earth. But the end of evangelicalism as we know it is close.
All this written by a news service which was started by a group of kooks, calling themselves “Christians”. Christian Science is a cult, Started by Mary Baker Eddy. It has been discarded by mainline Christianity for years.
So, in the opinion of this Fundamental Baptist. Take this with a gain of salt.

A quick update from Zo from Macho Sauce Productions
It turns out, that Zo is getting help from the Neo-Conservative PJ TV. I just wonder how long before he starts reciting talking points of the Podhoretz Clan?
Anyhow, here’s the video:
The Southern Avenger: Axis of the Expendable: Frum vs. Limbaugh
Mudville Gazette discovers the obvious
That B. Hussien Obama is a big fat liar. (As are most Democrats.)
I must admit, Patterico does have a good point
I normally wouldn’t link this guy, but he does have a very valid point.
Basically, Patterico says that the Democrats have zero right to criticize we Conservatives for wanting Bambi to fail. Why?
This: (click to make it bigger)
Basically, in 2006, there was a poll taken, where 53% of Democrats said that they hope that Bush failed. (Poll is in PDF format…)
So, as Patterico says:
Have this poll handy the next time some Democrat gets snooty about Rush wanting Obama to fail. It’s proof that the Democrats didn’t want Bush to succeed. They have no standing to claim the moral high ground. None.
I cannot say that I disagree with this. The Democrats from the time that the Iraq war started turning bad, till the day Bush left office, would not cut George W. Bush any slack at all. I even, once the surge started, gave him a little slack to see if it worked, Obama and his Democratic partners in crime, like over at the DailyKos, would not, at all. To this day, Obama refuses to admit that the Surge in Iraq worked.
Update: Oh, before anyone asks; No, I was not cool with the idea of going into Iraq; especially when the whole WMD thing came up as bogus. But, I was willing to give the President a break and let him get the situation straightened out there. The Liberal Left? Not so much. All one had to do, is tune into MSNBC or CNN and listen to the talking heads criticize Bush.
Good show Patterico, even if you did try and slander me over at another Blog, by bringing up crap that happened over a year ago, and something I totally apologized for. 😛

Coincidence or just bad timing?
This is very interesting…:
President Barack Obama is poised to offer an olive branch to Cuba in an effort to repair the US’s tattered reputation in Latin America.
The White House has moved to ease some travel and trade restrictions as a cautious first step towards better ties with Havana, raising hopes of an eventual lifting of the four-decade-old economic embargo. Several Bush-era controls are expected to be relaxed in the run-up to next month’s Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago to gild the president’s regional debut and signal a new era of “Yankee” cooperation.
The administration has moved to ease draconian travel controls and lift limits on cash remittances that Cuban-Americans can send to the island, a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of families.
“The effect on ordinary Cubans will be fairly significant. It will improve things and be very welcome,” said a western diplomat in Havana. The changes would reverse hardline Bush policies but not fundamentally alter relations between the superpower and the island, he added. “It just takes us back to the 1990s.”
via Obama will use spring summit to bring Cuba in from the cold | World news | The Observer.
Meanwhile:
Caracas – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday called upon US President Barack Obama to follow the path to socialism, which he termed as the “only” way out of the global recession. “Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the United States,” Chavez told a group of workers in the southern Venezuelan state of Bolivar.
The controversial Venezuelan leader, who taunted the United States as a source of capitalistic evil under former president George W Bush, added that the United States needs a leader who can take it to a “higher” destiny and bring it out of “the sad role that it has been given, as a murderous, attacking power that is hated all around the world.”
Chavez said that people are calling Obama a “socialist” for the measures of state intervention he is taking to counter the crisis, so it would not be too far-fetched to suggest that he might join the project of “21st century socialism” that the Venezuelan leader is heading.
“Nothing is impossible. Who would have thought in the 1980s that the Soviet Union would disappear? No one,” he said.
“That murderous, genocidal empire has to end, and some day there has to come a leader … who interprets the best of a people who also include human beings who suffer, endure, weep and laugh,” the outspoken Chavez said.
Coincidence? or just really bad timing? You Decide.
