When you lose FOX NEWS, you KNOW you're in trouble

(H/T to The Washington Monthly)

Looks like ol’ Juan McSame has basically shot his wad over at Faux Noise.

The Video:

Quote: (Via Think Progress) (anyone that doesn’t like it that I quoted them, can go fuck themselves..)

“Not on the middle class,” shot back Kelly, noting that “virtually every independent analyst” has said that the McCain campaign is lying:

KELLY: But you guys have suggested he’s going to raise taxes on the middle class and virtually every independent analyst
who took a look at that claim said that’s not true.  He’ll raise it on people making $200,000 or $250,000, but not the middle class.

Bounds tried to push back by saying that Obama had voted to raise taxes in the past, but Kelly kept pushing Bounds to admit the McCain
campaign was lying. “If that’s false, why would John McCain do that, Tucker? Why wouldn’t he just level with the voters?” asked Kelly:

KELLY: Let’s stay on point, I’m not giving him any credit. I’m saying what the independent analysts say. They say that claim is false. And if that’s false, why would John McCain do that Tucker? Why wouldn’t he just level with the voters and say, “look, he’s going to raise taxes on the wealthy or whatever you consider somebody to be making over $250,000, it’s going to have a trickle down effect. That may not be good for the middle class.” But why say he’s going to raise taxes on the middle class when he’s not?

I don’t look for Juan McSame to last much longer, if he keeps this up. Oh Well, that’s what happens when you stiff your own party in favor of a platform of a reformer. Can’t say he doesn’t deserve it though. Thought he’d bring the moose bitch on and everything would be all rosey posey. Think again McSame, the Republican Party and the Conservatives have got your number.

Juan McSame is about as much of a Conservative as I am an atheist. His favor of amnesty is stuff of legend. He’s a Neo-Conservative Globalist, just like King George W.

A possible dicey day on Wall St.

I knew about the problems that were happening over on Wall Street and in the banking world. I was just unaware of just how bad it is.

It turns out, that it is really bad. I mean, really seriously bad!

The Wall Street has a great Video and Story up over on their site.

Here’s the Video:

Quote from WSJ:

The American financial system was shaken to its core on Sunday. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. said it would file for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch & Co. agreed to be sold to Bank of America Corp.

The U.S. government, which bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a week ago and orchestrated the sale of Bear Stearns Cos. to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in March, played much tougher with Lehman. It refused to provide a financial backstop to potential buyers. Without such support, Barclays PLC and Bank of America, the two most interested buyers, walked away. Barclays said Monday it pulled out of the potential deal after deciding it wasn’t in the best interest of shareholders.

Late Sunday night, Lehman said it intends to file for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Lehman said none of the broker-dealer subsidiaries or other subsidiaries of LBHI will be included in the Chapter 11 filing and all of the broker-dealers will continue to operate. Customers of Lehman Brothers, including customers of its wholly owned subsidiary, Neuberger Berman Holdings LLC, may continue to trade or take other actions with respect to their accounts, Lehman said.

On Sunday night, Bank of America struck an all-stock deal to buy Merrill Lynch for $29 a share, or $50 billion.

Though it steered clear of a bailout, the Federal Reserve is expected to take new steps to stabilize the broader financial system. These steps, expected to be temporary, would make it easier for banks and securities firms to borrow from the central bank by using a wider range of collateral. Bankers say these financial institutions might need short-term funds as they unwind their many trading positions with Lehman.

While I do not have anything invested on Wall Street, I know people who do, in fact, my parents have stock options in G.M. So, this may just affect them. I will be watching this story all day today. This Blog is mainly politics, but I also Blog about other news stories of interest. Anyhow, this could trigger panic selling everywhere and could trigger a massive crash of the stock market, rivaling the crash of the 1930’s or at least rivaling the mini-crash of the 1980’s.

I do realize that the FDR did put some protection in our bank system to prevent another major crash, as to just good those protections are, we will see I suppose. I do not claim to be a banking nor financial expert. But I can see the panic in the eyes of those men that made that video. So, I expect a horrible day on the stock market.

Of course, our communist liberals, especially the far left with their anti-capitalist mentality, will be cheering this little misfortune. I’m sure that B. Hussein Obama will be saying stuff like, “They deserve to be punished, for making the little people suffer!” and “It was George W. Bush’s fault that the stock market crashed!”

On the other hand, John McCain will most likely make some rather stupid comment and then blame his time as a P.O.W. on his idiotic gaffe. Like he always does. 🙄

Either way, this story is going to be interesting to follow. Stay tuned. 

Update: Michelle Malkin says “The Fit has hit the shan” Indeed. But she also says:

And now is the time where I get to say, “See, I told you so.” From March 17, 2008, as the Bear Stearns bailout was underway:

I warned from the start of stimulus-palooza that we were headed in this direction. Both political parties support these massive government interventions–from empowering judges to meddle with private contracts to backing billions in mortgage securities. This isn’t the last step. It’s the first. And you know who will end up getting screwed: The responsible and the frugal.

True Michelle, But don’t you think that Mr. “Nation of whiners“, has to share some of the blame, because of his lobbying for the deregulation of the housing industry? Which caused all of this in the first place? I think so. What is really known, is the fact that it is going to get a hell of lot worse, before it gets any better. *gulp!*

Powerful Video

I do wonder if the Obama campaign has seen this or not.

(H/T to Blogwonks)

…..However, I will be fair enough to point out the mistakes.

The Bush Administration admitted that the intelligence that the Bush Administration had, in the leading up to the war, was flat out wrong. Not to mention the “Cherry picking” and stifling of evidence and contrary opinion that surfaced during the lead up the war. Which, in the opinion of this writer, is nothing more than abject fascism.

While I am smart enough to know that this video was not made by the McCain campaign. It does ring at the certain heart string of the American people. However, factually this video falls on it’s face. I agree that the men and women who died in this war, did so believing that they were doing the right thing. However, it does not excuse the fact that mistakes were made. Further more, this video comes across as using our United States Military as some sort of political prop. Which I feel is absolutely sickening.

While this video may be powerful in image and in message. I believe it is a brazen attempt to smear Obama as unpatriotic and inferring that Obama hates our Military persons. That, I am afraid is a bogus lie. I assure you, that if Obama was as nearly as uncaring of our Military personnel as this video infers, he would not even be in the race at all. Because middle America would have never elected him the early primary, if he would have come off as uncaring towards our Military in the primary.

I just do not believe that people are going to buy the subtle message being inferred in this ad, at all. Perhaps in 2004, or even in 2000. But not this time. The country has shifted too much to the left. This because of the many scandals, missteps, and outright blunders by the Government in the last 8 years.

NYT does a “hit piece” on Sarah Palin

I knew it was coming, I just didn’t know when. It seems that the New York Times has done rather harsh piece on Sarah Palin.

I won’t bother quoting it over here. Because I think one needs to read the whole thing, in order to render a proper judgement. Of course, depending on where one’s political ideology resides, will determine what one will take away from the article. This is very common, and not anything new.

Of course, the reaction is pretty much predictable, The Left is treating it as Gospel and the Right is calling for the public execution of the writers. Me, I think if the Wall Street Journal had written this article, it would be treated as gospel, by the right. They have written some similar toned articles.

The reactions are varied, I’ll post them all here. You make your own decisions: Commentary Magazine, Firedoglake, The Corner, unbossed.com, Shakesville, RADAMISTO, The Anonymous Liberal, TIME.com, Talking Points Memo, Liberal Values, Ben Smith’s Blogs, Jonathan Martin’s Blogs, TPM Election Central, Daily Kos, The Daily Dish, The Agonist, TigerHawk, Macsmind, pandagon.net, The Reaction, The Right Coast

Palin Reality setting in…..

…and it’s not from the Left either.

Rich Lowry on The Corner on National Review Online writes:

My take (and I didn’t see the bits that aired on 20/20 or Nightline last night, although I read the transcript) was that she survived. That’s all she had to do. Politically, everyone was grading her on a pass/fail, and she passed. No gaffes, not that much to fuel damaging follow-on conversation. She’s likable even when she’s at her least authoritative. Most people, I believe, are rooting for her, and she was helped in the post-game by the incredible scorn directed at her by Charlie Gibson. But this was a merely adequate performance. The foreign-policy session was a white-knuckle affair. She barely got through it and showed no knowledge more than an inch deep. What she did demonstrate was amazing self-possession. She somehow bluffed her way through the Bush doctrine question. Gibson apparently didn’t want to go into full “gotcha” territory by asking flat-out if she knew what it is. And then he muddled things further with his dubious definition of it, so she was never truly nailed and there was enough ambiguity there for conservatives to defend her. The fact still remains that she very likely didn’t know any of the possible definitions of the Bush doctrine. I can’t imagine if Obama had picked Gov. Tim Kaine and he had had a similar moment, conservatives would have rushed to say that the Bush doctrine is just too amorphous and complicated for him to know anything about it. Palin seemed weak on economic and budgetary policy too, talking in the vaguest generalities. She was much better, and positively good, on the social issues—which are dear to her and she’s thought about—and anything having to do with her personally or with her record in Alaska. She was magnificent on the Iraq-prayer question. This tends to suggest she’ll be as strong on the national issues, once she’s truly conversant with them. I hope she got up from the foreign policy session and said to her aides, “Dammit. That wasn’t good enough and I’m not letting it happen again. I’m not going to allow myself to be so under-prepared for another high-profile interview again.” Of course, she has a tremendous amount of material to master in a short period of time. What she has to do is the equivalent of Charlie Gibson or any of the rest of us having to answer questions about pipeline policy in Alaska on a moment’s notice. I understand how we all want to be protective of her—I feel the same impulse—but let’s not be patronizing. I believe the truly pro-Palin position is to think she can, should, and will do better than this.

I do not think I could have put it any better myself. I’m glad to see that some Conservatives are being honest enough to say, “Hey, maybe she isn’t what we originally thought.”

Because, with all due respect to the lady and all. This whole mania thing, it’s just not based on facts. It is simply predicated on the fact that she is a woman, and nothing else. While idealistically that might seem like a great and wonderful platform to run on. However, pragmatically, it is a narrative that simply falls flat. It is a sobering fact that Sarah Palin has zero Federal Governmental experience. There is no spinning that at all, and the harder John McCain’s campaign and the RNC try to spin that, the bigger idiots they begin to look like.

The very sad and sick part is the the Neo-Conservative Weekly Standard and some elements of the RNC and, sadly, John McCain’s campaign ARE trying to spin this, and sadly, it is going to cost them in the end. Between this and them using John McCain’s Vietnam P.O.W. status as some sort of a crutch. It may have worked with the Conservative base, during his senate races in the past. But it will alienate the independent voters during this Presidential race.

Because, not everyone feels that being a P.O.W. gives you a free pass to the White House.  Nor do they feel that being a woman, gives you a automatic ticket to be the United States Vice President either. While a pro-feminist agenda might work in a ideological setting, in a “Real World”, “Rubber meets the road”, pragmatic setting, it just does not work and will end up making one look quite foolish.

Once Again, I must instruct Liberals on what is racist and what is not….

*rolls out the blackboard*

mr_magoo

Alright class, today we will, once again, review as to what is racist and what is not.

Ready? Good!

THIS is Racist!:

Video: Unknown

Music: Johnny Rebel

This is NOT:

waffles_phixr

The Back story is Here.

This is called Political Satire. It is funny, that is what Political Satire does, make one laugh. It is commonly found in Political Cartoons. The only people that would find this sort of a thing, even remotely offensive, would be those who are commonly referred to as race baiters or race hustlers, or for short, Al Sharpton.

That is all….

Class Dismissed!

Far Lefty loon talk radio host Randi Rhoads jumps the shark……again…….

(Via and a very big H/T to Captain Ed over at HotAir.com)

Here we go again! It seems that the far-lefty loon talk show radio host Randi Rhodes has once again jumped the shark.

On September 8, 2008, Rhodes claimed that Presidential Candidate John McCain received preferential treatment in Vietnam, when he was taken captive.

Now it seems, that she has her eyes on Sarah Palin, something that does not surprise this writer at all, seeing that she divorced her husband. and is suspected of being a closet lesbian.

Now, Rhodes is accusing Sarah Palin of sleeping with teenage boys.

The Video:

The Transcript:

RHODES (HOUR TWO — 47:59): She’s the woman who shows up at the kid’s birthday party and starts opining about everything from politics to lawn care. This is the woman that knows it all. Will shout you down, will get revenge on you. That’s who she is.

She’s friends with all the teenage boys. You have to say no when your kids say, ‘can we sleep over at the Palin’s? No! NO!’

This is the same Randi Rhodes, who is known for her unhinged skits, public spills, obscene rants and wild accusations.

This is the same sweat hog, who was FIRED from Air America for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro both “Big f******ing whores”. She claims that she quit, after she was suspended, but anyone with the half a brain knows that’s a big fat lie. Not that it matters, but I happen to know personally, that there are those in the Liberal/Progressive community that do not like this woman, at all. I would show you the comments left about her over at Crooks & Liars after her firing from Air America, but they have since been closed. However, I can show you comments from DailyKos, by those who do not like her at all.

It was been said, over at DailyKos and on other progressive and far lefty liberal Blogs that Randi Rhodes is viewed as the far left’s answer to Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh. Although, I would be willing to bet that fans of theirs would take issue with that assessment.

As I have said many, many, many, times over on this Blog. Do you see now why I left that side of the political fence? Ronald Reagan had it absolutely right when he gave that speech in 1964. Man did he ever.

My obligatory cold-hearted Conservative Hurricane Ike posting.

I’m up early this morning. I believe there’s hope for the body clock yet.

I happen to be reading the early morning news stories, via Memeorandum, and I happen to see something, besides the wall to wall coverage of Sarah Palin.

It is a story in the Austin-American Statesmen, about the Galveston Jail prisoners not being evacuated.

The Story says:

An estimated 1,000 prisoners remained locked in the Galveston County Jail this afternoon, as the Hurricane Ike began battering the island city with flooding.

County officials earlier had ordered a mandatory evacuation for all residents. Sheriff’s officials insisted the prisoners and jailers were safe and sound, in a 2-year-old building designed to withstand hurricanes.

A sheriff’s office spokesman said the plan was for the prisoners and jailers to weather the storm in place — unless an evacuation took place later today. Sheriff’s office spokesman Maj. Ray Tuttoilmondo told the Houston Chronicle that the reason for not evacuating the prisoners is a security issue and cannot be discussed,

Even so, he said, “the prisoners and their safety and well-being are paramount and it will be handled.”

In Austin, several legislative offices early this afternoon lodged angry complaints with Galveston County and state officials that the jail had not been evacuated — and perhaps would not be.

Forecasters earlier warned that Ike’s storm surge of as much as 20 feet is possible — a level that would put water 3 feet over the top of Galveston’s seawall.

Galveston and state emergency management officials early this afternoon said they were checking on the situation at the jail.

Notice the parts that I highlighted up there? Well, I happened to look over at a rather Liberal Blog and I noticed this…:

Galveston Sheriff Leaves 1,000 Inmates AND Deputies To Die To Ike

Truly amazing. As I understand it Galveston is demographically a lot like New Orleans was when it was first hit. Lots of poor black people. I’m sure most of the inmates are black, but since the Sheriff has left his deputies there as well, I expect it’s stupidity and a general callousness towards human life, not racism.

….or maybe it’s the fact that them mean ol’ Texans just want to save a little money and let them little ol’ nigger prisoners die to save a little tax money on the city?

Please.

I am really beginning to believe that some of these liberals do suffer from some sort of mental disorder. Perhaps Michael Savage was correct.

Besides, what’s a few knocked off prisoners? I mean, it could only help relieve the tax burden on the state, having to house, feed and clothe them. Some of whom will never change their criminal ways. Michigan should bring back the death penalty, it would only help lower the prison population, and reduce crime.

Yeah, I can see the comments now, “You heartless S.O.B.!” Well, save it. I would never want to see anyone killed. I am very sure those sheriffs down there know what their doing.  Before anyone screams, “What about Katrina?” I say, “What about it?” Those people were fully warned of the impending disaster, they failed to heed the warnings. Because of this, people died, and because of their stupidity, they suffered loss, and then expected the Government to be their nanny. Which is so typical of Liberals. I’m sorry, but I just do not believe in a nanny state. You do something stupid and you suffer loss, don’t expect me or anyone else, including the Government, to be your babysitter.

So, there, there’s your daily dose of cold-hearted Conservatism.

Update: Glenn Reynolds has an excellent round up of links related to the storm.

Now THIS is crossing the god-damned line!

Now, they’ve pissed ME off!

Some asshole, by the name of Cintra Wilson, wrote a absolutely asinine article on Salon.com.

Some of the quotes from this article:

I confess, it was pretty riveting when John McCain trotted out Sarah Palin for the first time. Like many people, I thought, “Damn, a hyperconservative, fuckable, Type A, antiabortion, Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume — as a vice president? That’s a brilliant stroke of horrifyingly cynical pandering to the Christian right. Karl Rove must be behind it.”

[snip]

I don’t want Sarah Palin being the representative leader and custodian of my rights, my Constitution and my country any more than I want polygamist compound leader Warren Jeffs baby-sitting for my preteen goddaughters.

[snip]

As a woman who does not believe what Palin believes, the thought of such an opportunistic anti-female in the White House — in the Cheney chair, no less — is akin to ideological brain rape.

[Snip]

It is a kind of eerie coincidence that Sarah Palin is being sprung on the public at the same time as the bimbo/frat-boy titty comedy “House Bunny,” which features a poster of a beautiful young lady with Playmate-style bunny ears, big, stupid eyes and her mouth hanging open like someone just punched her.

Sarah Palin is the White House bunny — the most nauseating novelty confection of the evangelical mind-set since Southern “chastity balls,” wherein teen girls pledge abstinence from premarital sex by ceremonially faux-marrying their own fathers.

I have zero clue who the fuck this asshole bitch is. But this little bullshit article, is way over the line. I mean, if a Conservative had wrote something like this about Hillary Clinton, the outrage would have been deafening. However, because it is about Sarah Palin, it is perfectly acceptable.

I am not a big fan of John McCain, or Sarah Palin for that matter, but this sort of ignorant bullshit is just fucking wrong. I can see criticizing her for her policies, but this goes way beyond that. This is slandering a woman, simply because you disagree with her political ideology.

But then again, we are talking about the communist far left, who hate America, it’s military, and the values and morals that it stands for.

I say it again, do you NOW see WHY I left that sort of nonsense?

Oh, by the way, I wonder if the Obamassiah would approve of this? or would he say “Enough!”

May this bitch rot in the devil’s hell.
