Pat Buchanan jumps the shark….again
I just did something that will most likely not endure me to the Paleo-Conservative part of our movement. I formally requested that the owner of Pat Buchanan’s mailing list would remove me from it. This is because of Pat Buchanan’s continued justification of the actions of Adolf Hitler. Admittedly, when the article came bounding through my e-mail inbox yesterday, my first reaction, upon reading the title was, “Oh God, not this again.”
I will be the first to admit, that I agree with Pat Buchanan of fiscal matters and with this take on the Obama Administration. However, when it comes to foreign policy and his take of the history of this Country, namely the events leading up to World War II —— Pat Buchanan is out in left field. Originally, when I was going to write this, I was going to rip that feckless old goat a good one. However, I figure he will receive a fair share of goading from the left about this rather silly article that he has written. Therefore, I will leave that chore to those who are best at berating Conservatives.
However, I will end this piece with something that I wrote about last week. Rachel Lucas, a smart Texas gal of whom I have uttermost respect for; has written a very excellent article on her visit to the death camps in Poland. Perhaps Pat Buchanan should read this posting, before he writes another one of these “Hitler was justified” type of articles. By the way, Rachel is living overseas for the next two years. She is blogging about her experiences over there; it is quite the treat to read. I really do highly recommend it.

John Henke gets pushback and then whines about it.
I find this one extremely funny. John Henke calls for a Boycott of WorldNetDaily and then when WND‘s readers push back, he whines about it.
No wonder the left thinks we are bunch of damned idiots. Because of stupid stuff like this right here.
For the record, I think all Conservative viewpoints are welcomed and needed. Not just those that John Henke thinks is acceptable. His whole idea that Buckley would have boycotted WND is absolutely asinine. Not mention borders on Elitism, and approaches the level of insufferable asshole. I would expect something like this from say; Ed Schultz or even Sean Hannity, Both being insufferable assholes themselves. But coming from someone in the Grass Roots, is absolutely appalling.
The Republican Party needs a face lift. But not this kind of a face lift! The Conservative movement is known for its tolerance of a variety of opinions. Hell, I’m here, are I not? The left not much known for this.
Let me give you an perfect example. I am member of the BlogAds advertising system. When I was still blogging from a left of center position, on another blog, that I used to own. I formally asked to join the “Liberal Ad Hive”. This was way back in 2006, by the way; I was denied. Why? Because I was not a supporter of the Homosexual lifestyle. The owner of the Ad Hive is gay. Also, it was because of my stance on Abortion, which was and still is, that it is flat out murder. Forward ahead here to around December of 2007, when I requested to add Political Byline to the Conservative Hive; this was after I came to conclusion that I just did not fit in with the modern day “Democratic Party/Socialist/liberal” crowd. Anyhow, I kindly asked John Hawkings, if I could his Conservative Hive. Much to my astonishment, he said yes!
Where am I going with all this? Hold your Horses, I am getting to my point. 😀
The point here that I am trying to make is this. Conservatives are known for our tolerance. We should not change that at all. Did John Hawkings ask me of my Conservative beliefs consist of “Such and Such and Such and Such?” No. He just said, sure! You’re in! I was surprised by this, greatly.
Why? Because folks, I will be the first to tell you, that I am nowhere near “to the right” as say, Michelle Malkin or even the guys at “The Corner” (NRO’s Blog…) But, I am someone who just believes that Free Markets work and that Government intervention in everything under the sun is just not right! Further more, I believe that Homosexuality is, in fact, an abomination to God himself and that Marriage should always remain, between a man and a woman. I also believe that Abortion is murder, no matter how you slice it. I guess that was good enough for Mr. Hawkings.
So, having wrote at all, let me say this; again, to Mr. Henke. We should not, I repeat, should NOT start to employ the strong arm tactics of the socialist left. We need good spokespeople to articulate our positions. We do not need to start mimicking the far left and become intolerant. If we do, we will lose in the end. I assure you of that. Because individual freedom is the bedrock of Conservatism, we cannot afford to sacrifice that, at all.
Has John Henke lost his mind?
Um, Sorry, but this is just damned wrong….:
In the 1960’s, William F. Buckley denounced the John Birch Society leadership for being “so far removed from common sense” and later said “We cannot allow the emblem of irresponsibility to attach to the conservative banner.”
The Birthers are the Birchers of our time, and WorldNetDaily is their pamphlet. The Right has mostly ignored these embarrassing people and organizations, but some people and organizations inexplicably choose to support WND through advertising and email list rental or other collaboration. For instance, I have been told that F.I.R.E (The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) – an otherwise respectable group that does important work – uses the WND email list. They should stop.
No respectable organization should support the kind of fringe idiocy that WND peddles. Those who do are not respectable.
I think it’s time to find out what conservative/libertarian organizations support WND through advertising, list rental or other commercial collaboration (email me if you know of any), and boycott any of those organizations that will not renounce any further support for WorldNetDaily.
Proving to the world, that John Henke is not a true Conservative; but rather a Pseudo-Conservative. Why would I make a statement like that? Because it is damned true. What Henke wants to engage in here is nothing more than a form of “Thought Police”; which is the same damned thing that the extreme liberal/socialist left likes to do.
Want an example? Sure. I will give you one.
Back during the election of 2008; about a week before the election itself. I crossed a line that I still regret it to this day. Becoming ever pissed off at the fact that the far socialist left just kept on trying to drag race into the electoral race; despite the fact that the socialist left’s “Golden Boy” did not want the Electoral challenge to be about; in fact, race. I took two existing photos from the internet, joined them, and added a horribly offensive text to it and whipped up a “You want it, Mother Fuckers? Hear it is!” type of a blog posting and put the photograph up for all to see.
To say that many on the far liberal left were not amused, would be the understatement of the century. To be quite blunt, they were pissed!
Want to know something else? I paid for that little act of fool hardy nonsense as well. I used to carry ads from a advertising network called AdsDaq. It did not ever pay much, maybe $50.00 or so. But I was on there. It was new and I was trilled to carry their ads. This was before I was aware of their weak stomach for potentially offensive speech. Anyhow, I posted the offensive piece and some obscure blog; that I had never heard of, picked it up and before I knew what had hit me, I was a wanted man among the far left. I ended up on DailyKos and over came Mary Scott O’Conner and her band of tricksters; writing down every damn Advertiser I had.
The Advertisers and a few of their providers; like AdsDaq, began dropping like files in a Raid bug spray testing lab. The liberals won. They attacked my pocketbook. Which is what John Henke is wishing to do here.
My question dear readers is this; are we going to engage in the same damned type of political thuggery of the liberal socialist left; by attacking someone? Are we going to do this; all because WorldNetDaily’s political opinions or WorldNetDaily’s knack of writing fabulists type of stories are potentially embarrassing to someone else?
Despite the fact that I do not consider WorldNetDaily to be a trusted news source for anything at all, Despite the fact, that WorldNetDaily originally floated the whole Orly Tate story; I will still defend WorldNetDaily’s right to exist as a company and to publish whatever they damn well please. I believe in individual freedom and the right to free speech.
Further more, I feel that John Henke is way off base for wanting to start a boycott WND. If we cannot learn to tolerate our Conservative brethren on the far right; we are no better than those of the extreme left. The WorldNetDaily writers and their many readers are not hurting anyone at all. Besides, who cares if the Boston globe thinks that WorldNetDaily is crazy? They think all Conservatives are crazy. What is the difference? Hell, Sarah Palin is a damned embarrassment to the Conservative movement, I feel. But you do not see anyone boycotting her do you?
The truth about Buckley is this; While he did bring some sanity to the Conservative movement, The John Birch Society loathed the man, because of his association with the United Nations. Personally, I felt Buckley’s throwing McCarthy under the bus was rather asinine as well. Sure, McCarthy had his own personal issues. But were those issues worth walking McCarthy out on a damn tree limb and sawing the thing off? I hardly think so. Seeing the mess were now with this socialist President, perhaps McCarthy was not so crazy after all.
The Bottom Line is this: My issue is not with John Henke personally, it is with what he wants to accomplish; a sort of Political “Thought Police” by financial means. That my friends is a dangerous game and one that we on the right should not play, at all.
YES! Political experts see double digit losses for Democrats in 2010 elections!
This is such a good thing to hear…:
After an August recess marked by raucous town halls, troubling polling data and widespread anecdotal evidence of a volatile electorate, the small universe of political analysts who closely follow House races is predicting moderate to heavy Democratic losses in 2010.
Some of the most prominent and respected handicappers can now envision an election in which Democrats suffer double-digit losses in the House — not enough to provide the 40 seats necessary to return the GOP to power but enough to put them within striking distance.
Top political analyst Charlie Cook, in a special August 20 update to subscribers, wrote that “the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and congressional Democrats.”
“Many veteran congressional election watchers, including Democratic ones, report an eerie sense of déjà vu, with a consensus forming that the chances of Democratic losses going higher than 20 seats is just as good as the chances of Democratic losses going lower than 20 seats,” he wrote.
At the mid-August Netroots Nation convention, Nate Silver, a Democratic analyst whose uncannily accurate, stat-driven predictions have made his website FiveThirtyEight.com a must read among political junkies, predicted that Republicans will win between 20 and 50 seats next year. He further alarmed an audience of progressive activists by arguing that the GOP has between a 25 and 33 percent chance of winning back control of the House.
via Experts see double-digit Dem losses – Josh Kraushaar – POLITICO.com.
This reason why this is such a good thing is this; because of this, I believe that the Democrats will abandon the idea of Nationalized Healthcare. The reason why these numbers are so high is this; The Democrats, as I have written many times before, have overreached horribly after the 2008 election. They saw this economic crisis and the abject failure of the Bush Administration, as a chance to push through their progressive agenda. There was one thing, however, that the Democrats did not plan on; resistance. That would be the resistance from the 42% of Americans that voted for John McCain.
These number simply prove what I have believed all along. That not everyone in America is lockstep with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party; and their Identity Politics, Post Racial-Racialism, and the general Chicago style of politics that this Presidential Administration’s modus operandi.
For Republicans, this is their chance, put seeing their spokespersons are Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. I do not expect much out of them; at least not in 2010.

Well, it is nice to know that the UAE has our backs… I think
Although, many people do not know this or do not want to hear it. But much of the financing for 9/11 came out of the UAE.
Anyhow, there’s this:
The United Arab Emirates has seized a ship carrying North Korean-manufactured munitions, detonators, explosives and rocket-propelled grenades bound for Iran in violation of United Nations sanctions, diplomats said.
The UAE two weeks ago notified the UN Security Council of the seizure, according to the diplomats, who spoke on condition they aren’t named because the communication hasn’t been made public. They said the ship, owned by an Australian subsidiary of a French company and sailing under a Bahamian flag, was carrying 10 containers of arms disguised as oil equipment.
The council committee that monitors enforcement of UN sanctions against North Korea wrote letters to Iran and the government in Pyongyang asking for explanations of the violation, and one to the UAE expressing appreciation for the cooperation, the envoys said. No response has been received and the UAE has unloaded the cargo, they said.
The UAE and Iranian missions to the UN didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The Financial Times reported the weapons seizure earlier today.
via UAE Seizes North Korean Weapons Shipment to Iran (Update2) – Bloomberg.com.
This is what happens when you do the whole “Carrot and Stick” approach to countries like North Korea and Iran. They simply find ways to go around you. I really believe that the United Nations really needs to rethink their strategy with Iran. Because it is obvious to this Conservative writer, that Iran has no intention of abiding by the rules. I am not saying that it is time for war with Iran; not at all. At least not with our Country leading the charge. Because, in case anyone has not noticed, We are a bit occupied ourselves. I believe some of the other countries in that region need to step up and put a stop to this nonsense, once and for all.
Blackfive asks some very important questions:
Now this brings up all kinds of questions. How did the UAE find out? Did we know? Did we tell them? Inquiring minds want to know. Also how does this affect our global tyrant outreach project? Clenched? Unclenched? Hmmm
Those are some good questions. I would also like to know, who tipped off the Financial Times people? I also wonder, what will our feckless fearless leader’s next move will be? Because you know good and well that the Liberal base is not going to approve of him going into Iran or North Korea; even if Obama ordered a small support group to go in and assist any other countries that wanted to invade either Country, the base would totally turn on him. I mean, hell, the left is desperately wanting to pull us out of Afghanistan and Iraq; before the job is even done. They have been trying to do that for years. Do you think they would just sit idly by and allow President Obama to take us into another Military conflict? I do not think so. I mean, “Hope and Change” can only get a man so far. Especially when it comes to the very far left. I mean, they’re already calling Obama a fascist in some quarters of the left as it is already.
Either way this is going to be a very interesting development and it will be interesting to see how Obama handles the situation and it will be interesting to see how the far socialist/liberal Left reacts to Obama’s actions. I also would like to see what the Liberal Media’s reaction will be to this story and to how Obama reacts to it as well; will they be just as critical to Obama as they were Bush? or will they continue to give Obama the “free ride” that they have given him so far? It should be very interesting.
Updated! It has started: Black Virginia Police Officer threatens to arrest White Man if he holds up Anti-Obama sign Officer Cheeks works for the SCHOOL and NOT the City Police!

There is a word that comes to mind to describe this fat turd. But I will not utter it here.
I knew this was coming. I just knew it.
The one the really got me was the exchange of:
Man: “This is America!”
Black Cop: “It ain’t no more, okay?”
Folks, something is seriously wrong...

Jack Hunter makes a good point
At one point, I had written that I was not going to publish this man’s videos anymore; and I do not make a habit of it. His comment about our Military over on The American Conservative‘s Blog called “Post Right” was the end for me.
However, this video does make a good point and so, I will post it; with a comment at the end.
(Source)
I posted this, because I happen to agree with Jack’s stance on progressive policy on economics. But because I am “Fair and Balanced”, I will tell you, what others will not about the “Paleo-Conservative” or the “Taft” wing of the Republican Party as it is called by some. If it were left to these guys; such as Jack Hunter and his two hero-like personalities like Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul —- America would have never went to war with Germany, at all. Hitler would have allowed to exterminate the Jews. Something that I am told Pat Buchanan has said that he wished happened, when he was around some friends once; which goes back to the old school catholic hatred of the Jews and their religion. Further more, most people of the Paleo-Conservative strand believe that Abraham Lincoln was a traitor. Not only to the White Man; but also to the South for the way he conducted the Civil War. Which Jack claims was not about race. (Wink Wink) But rather about Centralized Government.
So, while Jack might be correct about his thesis on the economic policy; his association with the bigoted “Old Right” is to be noted and for this, I feel, his credentials are marred.

LUTHERANS ALLOW HOMOSEXUAL PASTORS (Friday Church News Notes, August 28, 2009, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – On August 21, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America voted to allow “gays and lesbians in committed relationships to serve as clergy.” Moments after the vote, Mark Hanson, the Presiding Bishop of the ELCA, pleaded for unity, saying, “It would be tragic if we walked away from one another” (“Lutheran Gay Clergy Vote,” AP, Aug. 22, 2009). In fact, it is tragic that those who claim to believe the Bible are yoked together in the same denomination with those who obviously do not (Romans 16:17). Many mainstream media reports depict the ELCA as a fairly conservative denomination, but in fact it has been riddled with theological modernism and unbelief since its inception. J. Kincaid Smith, an ELCA pastor who attended Hamma School of Theology in the Lutheran Church in America, one of the denominations that merged to form the ELCA in 1988, testified, “When I graduated in 1973, to the best of my knowledge, none of my classmates, nor I, believed in any of the miraculous element in the Bible, in anything supernatural, no six day creation, that Adam and Eve were real historical people, that God really spoke to people, the flood with Noah and the Ark, the Red Sea parting. We believed that no Old Testament Scriptures foretold of Jesus of Nazareth, that Jesus was not anticipated in the Old Testament. No virgin birth” (Christian News, April 29, 1985). MASS MURDERER CHEERED IN LYBIA (Friday Church News Notes, August 28, 2009, www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) – The Islamic mass murderer who was found guilty of bombing Pan Am flight 103 in 1988, killing 270 people when it crashed in Lockerbie, Scotland, was given a hero’s welcome at the Tripoli airport in Libya when he arrived there on August 21 (“Lockerbie Bomber Release,” AOL News, Aug. 21, 2009). Thousands cheered Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was released from prison in Scotland after only eight years on grounds of “compassion.” He is said to be dying with cancer. Libya’s president, Gadhafi, met with al-Megrahi personally and hugged him. It is obvious that many of Libya’s citizens believe that destroying a commercial jetliner full of people is a glorious Islamic act, worthy of the highest praise.

Liberals Tan Andrew Breitbart's Ass over his Twitter Stupidity
….and you know what? He deserves every god damned minute of it.
As I wrote on here last night my issues with Ted Kennedy were never personal, only of a political and policy nature. My postings always reflected that; I never took shots at him personally. I simply called him out, when I felt he was being dishonest. Of course, I did it in my traditionally condescending manner. Hey, I am a Conservative Blogger; condescension and being a general asshole are expected. But, I never made it personal. I have towards others in the past and I have deeply regretted it. This is why I follow a rule of conduct; attack the policy, not the person, mock gently, but know the line and never cross it.
Andrew Breitbart crossed it early Wednesday morning, when the news of Ted Kennedy’s passing hit. You can view and sampling of his rather idiotic and obnoxious nonsense by going Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, and Here. In fact, you can view this obnoxious idiot’s account by hovering over this link here.
Now some of you might be shocked and amazed that I would come out and condemn someone like Andrew for saying stuff like this. Well, allow me to explain as to why. I believe in freedom of speech; I really do. But, I also believe in responsibility of that freedom as well. Now, do I believe that the so-called “Thought Police” should scoop up Mr. BreitBart and send him off to a reeducation camp or something silly like that? Of course not. As a libertarian-minded Conservative; I believe in a free market approach to freedom of speech. I believe in letting the free market decide if it wants to be associated with obnoxious speech. If Andrew Breitbart wants to speak his mind about Ted Kennedy; fine, let him do so. But if someone is offended by his speech, they have the absolute right to lodge a complaint to Mr. Breitbart’s advertisers and inform them, that they do not intend to purchase their products, if they continue to sponsor this man’s website.
I believe it would be also fair to point out, that Mr. Breitbart did not use his website to express his opinion of Kennedy. He used the social network Twitter. Which is a very public service, unless you elect to make your updates private. Something that no one hardly ever does. But then again, not many people go around acting foolish like this either.
Again, In closing, I believe that Mr. BreitBart has the right to say what he wishes. That is the core ideal of freedom; however, Mr. Breitbart should be prepared to handle the criticism and the consequences, including the loss of advertisers; for expressing his opinions.
