Liz Wahl is a great American, for doing this here.

Here CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviews her:
The Story:
American journalist Liz Wahl just made Vladimir Putin’s enemies list.
Wahl, an American anchor for RT-America, a cable news network funded by the Russian government, stunned viewers Wednesday, when, at the end of her 5 PM broadcast, she announced her resignation from the channel.
The announcement was stunning. But Wahl’s decision to quit the network was a long time coming. In an exclusive interview with The Daily Beast, she says that, “When I came on board from the beginning I knew what I was getting into, but I think I was more cautious and tried to stay as objective as I could.” Yet repeated attempts by her superiors at the network to censor her work and distort the truth ultimately convinced Wahl that, to keep her integrity intact, she would have to depart.
“As a reporter on this network I face many ethical and moral challenges especially me personally coming from a family whose grandparents came here as refugees during the Hungarian revolution, ironically to escape the Soviet forces,” she told network viewers, immediately following a report claiming that the new Ukrainian government, which ousted pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych, is composed mainly of fascists and neo-Nazis. “I’m very lucky to have grown up here in the United States. I’m the daughter of a veteran. My partner is a physician at a military base where he sees every day the first-hand accounts of the ultimate prices that people pay for this country. And that is why personally I cannot be part of a network that whitewashes the actions of Putin. I am proud to be an American and believe in disseminating the truth and that is why after this newscast I’m resigning.”
Personally, I feel that this was an awesome move by this young woman. Anyone that stands for American; irregardless of the their political ideology; is someone to be praised. Liz Wahl gets it, her Father is a Veteran, her grandparents were immigrants to this Country and they lived in Countries where freedom, like we have here in America, was nothing more than a distant dream. Liz Wahl knew that, and because of that legacy, she decided to finally say to RT, “enough is enough!” and walk away from that wretched propaganda machine.
Kudos to her and he decision to stand for what she truly knows is right. This, my friends, is a textbook example of a true America patriot. Liz Wahl walked away from well-paying job for her love of America. This is something to be commended greatly. Here is hoping that Fox News or CNN offer her a primetime slot on one of their networks. Hopefully, she has enough common sense not to go to MSNBC.
Again, to Liz Wahl, May God Bless You, and are a great American. 🙂
Normally as a rule, I do not agree with most of what is found on progressive blogs. However, as you all know, I am a Paleoconservative or a Pat Buchanan type of conservative. Which basically means that I am a populist on stuff like free trade, Wall Street, and yes, even things like Social Security.
So, when I do see stuff like the below, I do have to speak out on it.
The Video:
The Story:
From this Sunday’s Face the Nation, host Bob Schieffer wants the audience to believe that those on the left who are opposed to cuts to “entitlements” a.k.a. our earned benefits and social safety nets, are just as “extreme” as these TeaBirchers in the Congress who have been obstructing everything President Obama has tried to do purely for the sake of obstruction.
Because we all know that wanting to protect Americans from becoming impoverished and to have access to affordable medical care is just like shutting down the government, right? Good god.
And unfortunately he got no push back from Gov. Martin O’Malley, who did counter the notion that the problem with our economy is that seniors are getting too many Social Security benefits, but he let the false equivalency stand.
I believe that this Nation’s financial situation was caused by the blatant incompetence of BOTH Parties and not just one or the other. I believe that there must be measures taken to correct the problem. However, I do NOT believe that the solutions to the problems should be put on the back of the Nation’s disabled, elderly or retired. If anything at all, it ought to come off the backs of those who led this Nation down the path that it is on now.
As Patrick J. Buchanan has rightly said, the proper why to pay down the debt of this Country is to impose tariffs on imports into this Country and get rid of these idiotic trade agreements. This would totally fund our social safety net and pay down our Nation’s debt. Instead the elites in Washington D.C. would rather cut programs that actually help poor Americans and keep our Nation’s elderly and disabled as paupers. This includes my Father, who gave 31 years of his life to the General Motors Corporation.
It is a pity that we have people in D.C. who would rather reward the corrupt elites and punish the real, hard working Americans, who played by the rules and actually contributed to this Country —- people like my Father. 😡
As you all know, since the 2012 elections, I have been in a bit of a funk, when it comes to blogging about politics. Well, this little story here has, at least for a few moments snapped me out of that funk. In other words, put your seatbelts on; because I am about to let it rip!
MSNBC’s Phil Griffin is so full of crap, that it literally should be oozing out of his ears! Check out what this douche canoe said in an interview with the New Yorker: (H/T HotAir.com)
In his office Griffin insists: “I think we’ve never had an ideology. An ideology is a single thought across all programs. We’ve never had that.” As evidence, he mentions the spirited on-air debates in 2010, pro and con, concerning whether the Bush tax cuts should be allowed to expire. “Obviously I hire people who fit the sensibility,” Griffin says. “We do stay true to facts. You have to build your argument. That’s why I call it a sensibility.” …
As for Fox News, “I think they do have an ideology,” Griffin says, “because every Republican who’s in trouble goes on that network to be taken care of…They’re owned by News Corp., which is Rupert Murdoch. Roger Ailes runs it, and he comes out of the Republican Party.” Griffin adds: “That’s fine. They’ve done an incredible job over there. They’ve been very successful. They drive a lot of the conversation.”
They must pay that man a whole bunch of money to sit there and lie like that with a straight face. Here is the straight truth about that they are biased, a good deal and they proved it in 2008 and in 2012. I know this for a fact; because I used to watch that network, back when it had a shred of credibility.
As most people know, that read this blog on a regular basis; I was not always a Paleoconservative. I, at one time, was a left-of-center and pretty much a Democratic Party voter — albeit a very skeptical one. I voted for Gore in 2000, I voted for John Kerry in 2004. My Dad is a retired general motors employee and a card-carrying member of the UAW. My family basically would be considered Roosevelt/Truman/Kennedy Democrats. Although my Mother did vote for Reagan the first time in 1980.
After a year of basically writing as a left of center, and admittedly carrying water for the Anti-Bush movement on my blog called the Populist; I really began to see that the Democratic Party was, quite frankly, losing it’s mind. The whole anti-Bush movement was becoming a parody of itself and quite frankly, accomplishing nothing at all.
Furthermore, I began to see in 2008 that MSNBC, a network that I watched regularly, go straight into the tank for Barack Obama, when he was running for President. In fact, this became such an issue for me, that it got to the point where I could not stand watching the network any longer. This was right around the time of Keith Olbermann’s infamous “Shut the hell up!” moment.
My questions for Phil Griffin are these:
If your network is not following a political agenda, why did they cancel Tucker Carlson’s show?
If your network is not following some sort of a political agenda, why did you sack Keith Olbermann for continuing to pursue in getting the Iraq War stopped and for criticizing the Obama Administration’s continuing of Bush polices that do trample on civil rights?
If your network is not pursuing a political agenda, why did Pat Buchanan get sacked from your network as a commentator?
If your network is not pursuing a political agenda, why is there not a Conservative with a show on MSNBC?
I have a shiny dollar bill that says that Mr. Griffin cannot and will not answer these questions.
The truth is that after Tim Russert died, MSNBC went from a mildly passive left of center stance to an “All-in” proactive, progressive stance with little or no objectivity at all. Anyone who believes anything other than this, is either an idiot or wildly misinformed. I ought to know, I used to watch that silly network.
An Al Jazeera investigative reporter who worked on the network’s high-profile probe into Yasser Arafat’s death was fired last Monday after raising concerns about the objectivity of the network’s Arafat coverage.
Since 2012, Al Jazeera has aggressively promoted the controversial theory that Arafat was assassinated with polonium in 2004 and did not die of natural causes.
Investigative journalist Ken Silverstein, who joined Al Jazeera two months ago and co-wrote the network’s November scoop about a team of Swiss scientists that found unusual traces of polonium-210 in Arafat’s bone samples, was fired after he refused to travel to Paris to cover the pending release of a French laboratory study on Arafat’s bone samples, multiple sources familiar with the situation told the Washington Free Beacon.
The French findings, released the following day, ended up contradicting the assassination theory.
Silverstein declined to provide a comment to the Free Beacon. A spokesperson for Al Jazeera said she could not discuss personnel issues.
As you might have read, David Duke, who is a defender of European Nationalism and American Nationalism — was tossed out of Italy for some very stupid reasons. Some would call him a bigot; mostly those on the intolerant left and of the Trotskyite right.
Anyhow, Because this blog is of the conviction that freedom of speech is not, nor should it ever be conditional —- with the exception of speech that promotes violence; I am presenting the podcast of David Duke’s, where he gives his side of the story.
I know all about the Trotskyite right, they have attacked me as well. Most of the so-called “conservative” right, and yes, that does include the blogosphere; is totally Trotskyite, and anyone who does not kiss the royal ring of the Zionists is slapped with the label of racist, bigot, and yes, even the infamous Anti-Semitic label.
Some would say that David Duke’s rhetoric is hateful. My question to you is this, is it anymore hateful that the Jewish rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, who said that killing a Goyim or non-Jew and taking his liver is perfectly okay?
Anyhow, here David Duke talks about his expulsion from Italy and the media hypocrisy surrounding him and compares it to NelsonMandela’s kid glove treatment by the media.
Again, I post this, not because I am 100% agreement with David Duke, because I am not much into all the conspiracy stuff and I think that the dogged pursuit of the Zionists is a bit of a fool’s errand. However, I happen to know that powerful interests control the political and financial; and yes, even Hollywood interests in this Country. Yes, most of them are Jewish.
They also hold very influential sway, when it comes to Congress and yes, even the President of the United States. I also happen to know, that the interests of these people are not of a pro-American sort. Most of them are anti-Christian, Anti-White, and very much opposed to any sort of true American freedom. Just look at the Movies that were produced in the 1940’s, 1950’s. They were different. Today’s movies are just not the same anymore. They are produced by multi-national companies that are not pro-american at all.
I pray that you would simply listen to this podcast and listen to what Duke is saying. Because if they are now coming after people, like David Duke; how long will it be, before the governments of the World start coming after Christians, Conservatives, or anyone else, who happens to disagree with these Trotskyite monsters? Answer: It is already happening in some Countries. We have to, as freedom loving Americans prevent that from happening here.
Several New Mexico police officers are under investigation for a routine traffic stop that devolved into a chaotic car chase last month. In their attempt to apprehend an uncooperative driver, the officers smashed a baton through the woman’s car window and fired several bullets at the children-filled vehicle.
The incident was recorded by a police dashcam video, which was released last week to KRQE News 13. According to a report from Taos News, the incident started when a New Mexico State police officer pulled over 39-year-old Oriana Ferrell for speeding 16 mph over the limit on a state highway.
The officer (whose name has not been revealed) approached Ferrell’s minivan in what appears to be a calm manner and told her to wait while he returned to his vehicle. Ferrell then sped off, starting a chase. When she pulled over again, the officer returned to the driver’s side window visibly agitated.
She ran, she could have gotten her ticket, kept her mouth shut; and everything would have been fine. But, no, she started arguing with the cop and then on top of that, she takes off —- twice! You cannot do that and not expect the police to get pissed off!
She had her kids attack the police; if that had been me; that 14-year-old would have ended up in a body bag when I shot him!
I think it is important to point out; she is black. Which basically means that she will most likely get a slap on the wrist and will file a lawsuit and get a bag full of cash; and live high on the hog. Because some evil, racist white police officer actually decided that he was going to do his job. (and yes, that is sarcasm…)
Sorry, but Reason magazine is full of crap on this one; this woman broke the law and paid the price for it. The only person that is to blame for this woman’s kids getting shot at; is Oriana Ferrell and that is the only person who should be blamed.
Like my earlier posting’s video said; blacks seem to believe that they can do as they damned well please, because the actions of white men 300 years ago and it is never, ever their fault; it is the fault of the evil white man and society. 🙄
Police State? Not on this one. More like a stupid black woman. 😡
To make sure that the black guy wins. Because we just cannot have the evil white man win the election! 🙄
Sickening… 😡
The Story:
Washington — The U.S. Justice Department said Monday it will monitor municipal elections Tuesday in Detroit and Hamtramck along with Orange County, N.Y., and Cuyahoga and Lorain counties in Ohio.
The department said monitoring is designed to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination in the election process on the basis of race, color or membership in a minority language group.
During the 2012 elections, the federal government had about a half-dozen or so inspectors in Detroit monitoring polling stations and responding to complaints. The department will have a smaller presence for Tuesday’s election.
In Cuyahoga, Lorain and Orange Counties, the Department will assign federal observers from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to monitor polling place activities based on court orders. The observers will watch and record activities during voting hours at polling locations in these jurisdictions and Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate the federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials.
In addition, Justice Department personnel will monitor polling place activities in Detroit and Hamtramck. Civil Rights Division attorneys will coordinate federal activities and maintain contact with local election officials. The department has previously monitored polling places in Hamtramck to ensure voters’ civil rights were upheld.
In 2000, Hamtramck agreed to revamp election procedures to ensure all voters were treated equally under an agreement reached with the Justice Department. The agreement resolved a government suit claiming violations of the Voting Rights Act aimed at Arab-American voters in the November 1999 election.
The agreement stems from an investigation that began after the Justice Department received complaints from Arab American voters in Hamtramck that their citizenship had been challenged by private citizens during the November 1999 general election. “As a result of those challenges, Arab American voters and other dark-skinned voters, such as Bengali-Americans, were required by pollworkers to take a citizenship oath prior to being permitted to vote. This requirement was not imposed on white voters,” the Justice Department said.
Each year, the department deploys federal observers to monitor elections across the country. To file complaints about discriminatory voting practices, including acts of harassment or intimidation, voters may call the Voting Section of the department’s Civil Rights Division at 1-800-253-3931.
SHARON HILL, Pa., (CBS) — New developments out of Delaware County after video surfaced of a school bus attack.
Late Monday, police confirmed to Eyewitness News that investigators are in the process of filing criminal charges against three students and the bus driver. The charges could be filed as soon as Tuesday.
The video shows one of two students — beaten on the bus — on their way home from school. It was first posted on Facebook and shows Dylan Fonner being punched in the face aboard a school bus from the Delaware County Alternative High School Wednesday afternoon.
Jackee Fonner, Dylan’s mother said, “I wanted to hug my son because I saw him after he got beat up, but then after watching the video, I couldn’t believe it was that bad.”
The school district is overwhelmingly black. No media outlet is reporting the fact that the perpetrators are black. If the races were reversed, it would be a major news story and the media would be screaming “racially motivated white on black hate crime mob beating.”
The initial sucker punch was videotaped. You can hear other black passengers egg the attacker on and then cheer. The victim then asks the bus driver to let him off the bus. The driver refuses. After that, two more black perpetrators join in and continue to attack the victim as well as a second white victim.
Absolutely correct, the very fact that these perps and driver are black and victims are white; is why the National Media will not report this story and that is because of the progressive liberal bias in the media towards white people. Had this been a black victim or a Jewish victim and white perps; it would be on the news 24/7 and even the President would be involved saying the perps and the driver acted stupidly.
Michelle Malkin said it best; that Sonlight is the best disinfectant —- consider this blog to be the floodlight of exposure to something that is a huge problem in this Country.
Um, Phil? It’s because you and your network suck. Progressivism is just not popular anymore. You know that President that you and your network went into the tank for? He failed, badly. So, I would suppose that the viewers or as Bill O’Reilly calls them — the folks — stopped trusting your silly network.
So, man up and admit your defeat.
The Story:
Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, says there’s something fishy about Tuesday’s ratings for the Fox News Channel, which were up significantly from a day earlier when Fox News debuted its new schedule. And he wants an investigation.
MSNBC’s ‘Up Late With Alec Baldwin’ Debuts With Policy Discussions in a Diner
“Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic. On the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours,” Griffin said at a briefing, according to TVNewser.
“Tuesday — you guys should be doing some investigations; I have never seen it in all my years of cable — same overnight, same everything. And they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible.” Griffin continued, “I have never seen it. They did election-night numbers in the demo Tuesday.”
I was not going to write about this; but seeing that I got on twitter and shot my mouth off, I figure that I could at least explain myself in long form here on the blog.
It appears that defending pedophiles and saying that they are not criminals is in vogue with the progressive left. Which is to be expected of them, seeing that they really see living, breathing babies as nothing more than a blob of tissue and not worth really to be spared what I happen to consider a butchering at the hands of a Godless doctor.
There is a painfully uncomfortable episode of “Louie” in which the comedian Louis C.K. muses that maybe child molesters wouldn’t kill their victims if the penalty weren’t so severe. Everyone I know who watches the show vividly recalls that scene from 2010 because it conjures such a witches’ cauldron of taboo, disgust and moral outrage, all wrapped around a disturbing kernel of truth. I have similar ambivalence about the case involving former Montana high school teacher Stacey Dean Rambold. Louie concluded his riff with a comment to the effect of “I don’t know what to do with that information.” That may be the case for many of us, but with our legal and moral codes failing us, our society needs to have an uncensored dialogue about the reality of sex in schools.
As protesters decry the leniency of Rambold’s sentence — he will spend 30 days in prison after pleading guilty to raping 14-year-old Cherice Morales, who committed suicide at age 16 — I find myself troubled for the opposite reason. I don’t believe that all sexual conduct between underage students and teachers should necessarily be classified as rape, and I believe that absent extenuating circumstances, consensual sexual activity between teachers and students should not be criminalized. While I am not defending Judge G. Todd Baugh’s comments about Morales being “as much in control of the situation” — for which he has appropriately apologized — tarring and feathering him for attempting to articulate the context that informed his sentence will not advance this much-needed dialogue.
I do think that teachers who engage in sex with students, no matter how consensual, should be removed from their jobs and barred from teaching unless they prove that they have completed rehabilitation. But the utter hysteria with which society responds to these situations does less to protect children than to assuage society’s need to feel that we are protecting them. I don’t know what triggered Morales’s suicide, but I find it tragic and deeply troubling that this occurred as the case against Rambold wound its way through the criminal justice system. One has to wonder whether the extreme pressure she must have felt from those circumstances played a role.
I’ve been a 14-year-old girl, and so have all of my female friends. When it comes to having sex on the brain, teenage boys got nothin’ on us. When I was growing up in the 1960s and ’70s, the sexual boundaries between teachers and students were much fuzzier. Throughout high school, college and law school, I knew students who had sexual relations with teachers. To the best of my knowledge, these situations were all consensual in every honest meaning of the word, even if society would like to embrace the fantasy that a high school student can’t consent to sex. Although some feelings probably got bruised, no one I knew was horribly damaged and certainly no one died.
[….]
If religious leaders and heads of state can’t keep their pants on, with all they have to lose, why does society expect that members of other professions can be coerced into meeting this standard? A more realistic approach would be to treat violations in a way that removes and rehabilitates the offender without traumatizing the victim. The intensity of criminal proceedings, with all the pressure they put on participants, the stigma, the community and media scrutiny, and the concurrent shame and guilt they generate, do the opposite of healing and protecting the victim. Laws related to statutory rape are in place to protect children, but the issue of underage sex, and certainly of sex between students and teachers, may be one in which the law of unintended consequences is causing so much damage that society needs to reassess.
So there you have it. This above is nothing more than a progressive liberal justification of underage sex between school students and teachers — because underage kids have, as she calls it, “sex on the brain.”
What bothers me about this piece is, for one; it is saying that people that commit acts of pedophilia should not be subject to the legal system. Another thing that bothers me is this here:
Betsy Karasik – A liberal minority that thinks that Pedophiles are just perfectly fine.
No, I am not complaining that she is a woman — please, I am not that big of an idiot. What bothers me about this article and its author is that she is a liberal minority. In the world of the progressive left, you can pretty much say and do what you damned well please —- because you are liberal minority. In progressivism, being a minority of any sort is an automatic ticket to be as outrageous as you want to be, without having to worry about repercussions. It is, in fact, a cover for them.
Some from twitter might have noted that I called this idiot liberal minority woman a “Jap.” I really have no idea really, what her ethnic background is, nor do I really care. She does appear to be someone from the Asian region. For what it is truly worth, you can click here and find out what I really do truly feel about the Japanese and their idiotic Country. Some of us have not forgotten about what happened on December 7, 1941. Some people forgive and forget —- I choose not to do such a foolhardy thing. My family fought in that war, and spilled blood for that cause; and I choose not to just act like that never really happened.
As I wrote above, being a liberal minority is a ticket to be as outrageous, or as in recent times — as criminal as one wants to be; and there is a double standard when it comes to that as well. This was proven when a black thug, by the name of Trayvon Martin decided to stalk and beat the living crap out of a Latino man named George Zimmerman and ended up being shot to death by Zimmerman. Who, in fact, was defending his own life; the liberal media went crazy, calling Zimmerman a white man in hopes of starting a race riot in this Country — which failed thankfully. It seems the American people, including blacks, have a bit more restraint than the liberal media in this Country.
Now to show you what rather rank hypocrisy exists in the liberal media and in the progressive movement, altogether I give you two documented incidents:
Why is this, you ask? Because in the world of liberal minorities, especially blacks — there is a mentality, that any violence or any other sort of misdeeds perpetuated by blacks toward white people is somehow or another justified. It is to be justified by liberal progressives, and yes, blacks themselves — because of the horrible things that happened in this Country over 300 years ago. I am referring to the importation of criminal blacks into the United States from Africa to be used as slaves.
What I have just described to you is nothing more than the anti-American works of the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory at work. The problem is that there are some so-called Conservatives and some so-called libertarians who are of that same mindset. There is a common name for whites who do this sort of thing; it is called white guilt.
In conclusion: This article should, not shock Conservatives and those who disagree with the progressive left; it is simply the manifestation of the works of the Frankfort School. Those who are of the Frankfurt School mentality consider anything that is moral, law abiding and or that promotes American values racist. Dr. Michael Savage said it best, “Liberalism is a mental disorder” and this Washington post opinion piece and its idiot liberal author are living proof of that fact.
