Here is a good reason why I will be voting Republican in 2012

This is very scary…:

In his remarks, Genachowski said the program has been successful, but has also been plagued with problems of accountability and efficiency. Multiple service providers are often supplying Lifeline subsidies to the same households, he said, because there is no centralized system. To address the issue, Genachowski said, the draft proposal creates a national database of Lifeline users to prevent duplicative billing. It also sets a budget for Lifeline aimed at connecting eligible consumers while staying within budget, and requires that participating companies be subject to independent audits every two years. — via FCC’s Genachowski proposes broadband reform – Post Tech – The Washington Post

National Database of internet users? Yeesh. 🙁 The Democratic Party has gone mad. Go read, that whole thing. I will say this; that low income thing is a crock; if they do it for them, they will do it for everyone. This is why we have to win in 2012 and further more, Why we also have to pick a real Conservative and not some idiotic Rockerfeller big-goverment Republican. Which is why I do not quite understand why people like Michelle Malkin get upset over the back and forth that is going on.

The Republican grassroots and the Conservative grassroots; which does include me — needs to know what they are getting this time. The last time around, everyone just followed behind what the Republican establishment gave them. Not this time; we are better informed, and thanks to twitter, facebook and blogs, we communicate better. Which is why elitists like President Barack Obama hate the internet so much. To be fair, I would be willing to bet some Republicans dislike it too.

This, my friends, is why I despise Ron Paul. Military or no Military; Ventura is a lying scumball.

Since when do we have to ask to defend ourselves?

This strikes me as rather odd.

The Story:

(CNN) — Home alone with her 3-month-old son, Sarah Dawn McKinley of Blanchard, Oklahoma, said she decided to make a stand when two men tried to break into her home on New Year’s Eve.

McKinley, who had been widowed less than a week before, placed a couch in front of one door and went to the bedroom and put a bottle in her baby’s mouth before calling 911, she said on HLN’s “Dr. Drew” on Wednesday.

A 911 operator calmly spoke with McKinley, who asked if it was permissible to shoot an intruder, officials said.

“I’ve got two guns in my hand. Is it OK to shoot him if he comes in this door?” asked McKinley, 18.

“Well, you have to do whatever you can do to protect yourself,” dispatcher Diane Graham responded. “I can’t tell you that you can do that, but you do what you have to do to protect your baby.” — Via Oklahoma mom calling 911 asks if shooting an intruder is allowed – CNN.com

 

My friends, my question to you is simple this; since when, do we as Americans, who are guaranteed the right to own a gun to defend ourselves against such things, as presented in this story — ask for permission to defend ourselves from the Government?  This is not a criticism of this woman at all, but of the mentality of the Government must make all decisions for us.  Whatever happened to telling a 9/11 operator, “I am going to kill this idiot and I hope you got plenty of body bags, because when I get done, y’all going to need a few.”  Whatever happened to mentality of doing for yourself, and not waiting the Government to do your work for you?

It is a sad state of affairs in this Country, when its own citizens are too scared to defend themselves and feel the need to have to ask the Government for permission to do so.  This is what happens, when progressives are allowed to govern, control our media and our schools.

No American citizen, at any point, should ever have to ask permission to defend his or her personal property.  This is not a mentality of a free American citizen, this is a mentality of a slave to Government, and it is what the progressives promote — in their media, in the schools — everywhere.

My hat goes off to this young woman, for having the courage to defend herself, when it counted most.

Update #2: AllahPundit seems to like this story too. But, of course, misses the bigger point.

Let’s not get carried away please

Listen, I stand for Israel as much as the next Conservative. But this article here, is borderline idiotic:

So Paul Krugman phoned in his periodic “Keynes Was Right” column today, arguing that the Obama Porkulus failed only because, like “true” Communism, it wasn’t tried vigorously or faithfully enough.

I wonder if Krugman also credits Keynes’s views on Jews, which British blogger Damian Thompson of The Telegraph brings to our attention.

via Keynes Was Right–About the Jews? | Power Line.

I mean, to make this sort of a comment to a man, who happens to be a liberal and Jewish, coming from another Jewish person is about the worst backhanded insult ever.

Now this point here, I will not contest:

Anti-Semitism used to be a property of the Right, yet it’s worth pointing out that today many of the intellectual heroes of the right are Jews, such as Milton Friedman, Leo Strauss, Irving Kristol, etc., or that anti-Semitism has become almost wholly the province of the Left today.

I got news for Mr. Hayward; it is still a property of the right. Ron Paul is a perfect example. Although it is far to point out that Ron Paul’s faction of the Republican Party is a very small one. One that believes in “Limited Freedom” for those who are White and Christian only. Although, to be fair, Rick Santorum basically feels the same way; the whole extremist Christian bigot.

My overall point here is this; we should be very careful about dropping the Anti-Semite flag during a political football game. It hurts those who are innocent of said charges. Just ask me.

No, Ron Paul will not elected President

Need a few reasons? Here’s twelve good reasons.

However, Panic is setting in in Iowa.

Ed Morrissey says for good reason too:

How likely would it be that a publisher made a million dollars in revenues from his enterprise, managed to employ his family at the business, and yet never bothered to look at its product?  Zero, even if one buys the argument that Paul allowed other people to ghost-write the newsletter under his own name and in the first person without ever reviewing their output to make sure that it didn’t contradict his own political stands.  And even if people are prepared to swallow all of that, the fact remains that Paul made millions as a publisher peddling vile, racist tracts and insane conspiracy theories, which any Democratic opponent would produce in toto during a general election, even disregarding Team Obama’s predilection for oppo research.

It’s not just the top job that’s at risk, either.  With a man like Paul and his newsletter baggage on a national ticket, how would that help Republicans win Senate and House races around the country?  It’s no wonder that some in the Iowa GOP have begun to “panic,” and it’s probably not limited to Iowa, either.

Not only this, but go have a look at one blogger’s site, after she dared to speak out against Paul. Also, look here at more of it. 

Now , honestly, do Ron Paul’s followers and supporters really honestly believe that this is helping their dear leader’s changes of being elected President? Now, I will let it be known; I do not support Wilsonian foreign policy and I happen to agree with Ron Paul’s stance on domestic issues —- however, I find this sort of behavior to be deplorable. I mean, to go onto a Jewish woman’s website and act like that? My God.  Surprised smile

I also do not support Ron Paul’s style of foreign policy disengagement either. Some call it Isolationism; I think it is worse than that, it is disengagement from the world and we cannot afford that, at all.  “Peace through strength” is what I believe in, it worked for Ronald Reagan and it worked for me.  Anything more than this, is not Conservative and anything less is irresponsible.

This is why I do not support the man; because his supporters are just flat out batty insane. The sick part is, Ron Paul will not condemn them, nor will he ask them to stop with the craziness and the poll stuffing and fraud. It is sick and it makes the political process in America, to the rest of the world, look like a silly carnival show.

So, yeah, Ron Paul won’t be President and for very good reasons too.

Farewell to a intellectual great

I am coming out of my self-imposed hiatus to bid farewell to someone whom I disagreed with greatly.  I am referring to the passing of the avowed atheist Christopher Hitchens.  Admittedly, I disagreed very highly with his denial of living God; However, I admired his stance on Muslims and their desire to overthrow of American and western values.  Not only this; the man was absolutely an intellectual giant.  Something that is much lacking in the Conservative and even Christian circles of this day and age of dumb-downed society.    
I believe the man should be respected in this sphere of existence for his refusing to back down from his political and personal philosophies.  His rejection of the existence of a higher power is one that will be remembered and admired by some.  It seems so unfair, that someone of that intellectual caliber would be taken down in such a horrible way.  I will not, unlike someone on the Christian right, use this as a terrible opportunity to slander the man to advance a Religious agenda.  There are some, that would partake in such high school style of idiocy and I will simply use the words of the risen Saviour of the World, Jesus Christ; “They have their reward.”
I wish nothing but the very best to the Hitchens family, especially to his Brother; who must be going through hell right now.
Rest in peace Hitch; you genius bastard you.

The Story via AINA:

(AINA) — In mid-October Egyptian media published news of an altercation between Muslim and Christian students over a classroom seat at a school in Mallawi, Minya province. The altercation lead to the murder of a Christian student. The media portrayed the incident as non-sectarian. However, Copts Without Borders, a Coptic news website, refuted this version and was first to report that the Christian student was murdered because he was wearing a crucifix.

“We wanted to believe the official version,” said activist Mark Ebeid, “because the Coptic version was a catastrophe, as it would take persecution of Christians also to schools.” He blamed the church in Mallawi for keeping quiet about the incident.

Today the parents of the 17-year-old Christian student Ayman Nabil Labib, broke their silence, confirming that their son was murdered on October 16, in “cold blood because he refused to take off his crucifix as ordered by his Muslim teacher.” Nabil Labib, the father, said in a taped video interview with Copts United NGO, that his son had a cross tattooed on his wrist as per Coptic tradition, as well as another cross which he wore under his clothes.

Both parents confirmed that Ayman’s classmates, who were present during the assault and whom they met at the hospital and during the funeral, said that while Ayman was in the classroom he was told to cover up his tattooed wrist cross. He refused and defiantly got out the second cross which he wore under his shirt. “The teacher nearly chocked by son and some Muslim students joined in the beating,” said his mother.
 
According to Ayman’s father, eyewitnesses told him that his son was not beaten up in the school yard as per the official story, but in the classroom. “They beat my son so much in the classroom that he fled to the lavatory on the ground floor, but they followed him and continued their assault. When one of the supervisors took him to his room, Ayman was still breathing. The ambulance transported him from there dead, one hour later.”

Prosecution arrested and detained two Muslim students, Mostapha Essam and Walid Mostafa Sayed, pending investigations in the murder case.

The father said that everyone in Mallawi knew how the event took place, but not one of the students’ parents was prepared to let their children come forward and give a statement to the police. “They are afraid of the school administration, which has lots of ways to harass the students, as well as being afraid of the families of the two Muslim killers.”

“I insist that the Arabic teacher, the headmaster, and the supervisors should be charged as well as the two students who committed the crime,” said Nabil. “The Arabic language teacher incited the students to attack my son, the headmaster who would not go to the classroom to see what is going on there when alerted to the beatings, but rather said to be left alone and continued sipping his tea, and the supervisors who failed in their supervising duties.

 Religion of peace? I think not.

On these occupy protests

I said this on my old blog quite a bit and I feel that it isvery important to say this as often as one can. These occupy protests are not pro-American, anti-big government,protests like the tea party protests were; but these are anti-capitalistic,anti-American, anti-everything protests that have been ginned up by the radicalfar left in this Country.  There arebeing supported and even funded by progressive groups and even supported byradical communist groups in this Country. 
These protests were supposed to be peaceful, but it nowseems that they have become violent in nature; this is because anarchists have become involvedin the protests as well — not to mention Neo-Nazis.  Even in my home city here in Detroit, theoccupy movement has spurred arrests.  It has become such an issue that themainstream left has begun dismissing the movement as a radical movement; casein point, TheNew Republic had a series articles dismissing the movement and warningDemocrats to keep their distance.
Again, this is from someone who has been out of work for avery long time.  I can, and do empathize with these people; however, the solution totheir troubles is getting Government out of private industry and lettingbusiness work, so that jobs can be created, rather than the bigger Governmentand a tearing down of the capitalistic society that we live in; which is whatthese people believe.  Because the polaropposite to the free capitalistic society is a tightly regulated Governmentsystem, as they had in communist Russia and we see how well that worked out.  Because in that sort of a system, the freedom ofthe people is suppressed, ask anyone who has happened to live in North Korea,there is no freedom in communism at all, not matter what these progressivebuffoons tell you.
