Video: A good reason why I am not a Democrat

This comes via Weasel Zippers: (H/T to GeeekGirl on twitter)

This has to be the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard:

Quote:

We don’t see them dealing with this in a forthright way at all; it’s certainly not a presidential way. It’s not even really a professional way to deal with it, as a politician. But this is a major moment for the GOP because Cain is a really important candidate, perhaps more important than any of the other candidates because he serves a massive psychological purpose. Because there’s a lot of people in the GOP who’ve been critical of Obama and have been made to feel that they are racist because of their criticism. Some of it has been racist, some of it has been reasonable, some of it has been business as usual Republican/Democrat stuff. Ok. Cain comes along, offering salvation, liberation. You’re not racist if you support Herman Cain. So now they have this Herman Cain card they can throw at us any time they are made to feel racist. So this is like a beautiful thing for them. So they need him to succeed as long as they can deal with him so that they can get their Cain card and make it as valuable as possible.
Well, I mean, Cain is giving comfort to racism the way that he purports himself, as we’ve discussed before on this show, so, I mean, this is not the person that you can hold up as, well, see, I’m not a racist, I love Herman Cain.

What is it with Democrats and race? It is like they just wanted to continue to stoke that fire of racial hatred between blacks and whites. Oh, I know why! It gets them votes.

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.

On Herman Cain

To tell you all the truth, I personally think Herman Cain is toast. The way he is blaming everyone else, and not owning up to the fact that some people might have been troubled by his behavior; is a bit concerning to me. What also gets me, is he is having a “MoneyBomb.” How convenient.

I also agree that it is not racism, we do deserve to know everything that there is to know about the man. It appears that I am not the only one who feels it is time to cut bait with the man either. At first, I believed it was just people who didn’t want a black man in the white house again. But it appears that it is much more than that.

I am just glad to see this came out in the primary and not in the general election.

here we go again!

Well, here we are again. Running a Blog. You knew I could not stay away from this for very long, now did you not? Yeah, me too. I wanted to quit. But I just couldn’t! I just needed to get away from that silly domain. It was killing me; too much work, not enough pay and plus, that blog had become something of it’s own parody. Plus, I just needed to wipe the slate clean and start over.

So, yeah, this is a new start. I’ll be writing, but more honestly, and bit less like what I was before. The REAL me. Less PoliticalByline.com and more me. Ya know? I hope you get that.

This is sort of an offering for those who follow me over on twitter; and if anyone else happens to wander by, then all the better. So, yeah, I’m back. I need something to do; and this is easy.

So, off we go….again….

Can't say that I disagree with that

Transcript:

You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.
I hope that’s not where we’re going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.

Petraeus briefly passes out during hearing

I really did not want to blog about this, because quite frankly, I do not consider it to be even news. But, eh, it’s content, I guess.

The Video, John McCain’s reaction is interesting:

The Story:

Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, briefly collapsed at a Senate Armed Services hearing on progress in Afghanistan.
Petraeus was about to answer a question when he went silent and passed out in front of the microphone. He quickly recovered, but the hearing went into recess and Petraeus was able to walk out under his own power.
He later returned to the hearing room and joked that he had felt “lightheaded” — but that the condition was not caused by questioning from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
“I just got dehydrated,” Petraeus said.
Despite Petraeus wanting to go ahead with the hearing, chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) postponed it until Wednesday.

Of course, there is nothing funny about a guy falling out. But, he is okay. Just did not eat and was most likely overcome from the heat of the lights.

There was one funny headline, from the place that’s known for such stuff:

John McCain Nearly Bores David Patraeus To Death

HEH! Now, that was funny… 😛

Not to be outdone, Michelle Malkin Snarks:

Gatorade and Power Bars, stat.

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com remarks:

John McCain’s reaction is telling.

Well, gee Ed, what did you want McCain to do? —- Hop across the damned table and rescue the man himself? Give the guy a break, he is older than my Dad! 🙄

On the other side of the political fence, at least in my eyes. Some nasty comments were observed. The Racist, Anti-Semitic, hatemonger bastard Lew Rockwell used the occasion to insult one of our Military’s finest leaders:

Did Petraeus fall asleep while talking to McCain at a phony hearing, or was it the weight of all the innocents he’s collaterally damaged on his conscience, or his killion “medals”? He claims he was water deprived, just like his prisoners in the camps. BTW, look for this man on a pale horse to run for president as a Republican.

You know, I am quite known for my controversial comments too. It is time I started doing that sort of a thing again here. Here is hoping the Lew Rockwell is found dead, face down in a pool of his own blood — from a Brain Aneurysm. America would be such a better place for it. Not to mention the Conservative/Libertarian world.

More leftest hate-mongering here. If only we could send them all off to camps to be reprogrammed.

Update on the PayPal Situation and Pamela Geller

Pamela Geller updates everyone on her little scrap with PayPal that lead many, including me to cancel our accounts:

And so today, about an hour ago, a very pleasant and rather deliberately clueless executive called me from paypal to say it was all a big misunderstanding and Atlas would be reinstated (and the subsequent restriction of SIOA and FDI removed also).
Not so fast, Leslie.
I asked her why I was singled out and who designated me as a hate speech site, and on what basis? Why was revolution muslim (which threatened to murder the producers of Comedy Central) and Imam Awlaki DVDs part of the paypal stable of vendors? She said she was “unaware of a hate speech designation and would inquire and call me back.”
And so she did.
She said Atlas was mistakenly designated when “in review.” I asked why was Atlas in review. Paypal has been on this website since 2005. She did not have an answer. I asked what recourse do smaller websites have? As this is my real concern. My soapbox is pretty big, but what about small blogs?
I told Leslie that reinstating me was not good enough. If a site is designated a “hate site,” who decides? Once designated, you have two choices — lose paypal, or change content. Unfair, mon frere. Leslie agreed. She said she was going to recommend a third choice so that one could contest the designation before a mandatory choice had to be made of either signing off of paypal or changing content.
Frankly, I find this weak. They should remove the designation altogether. If they are going to allow jihadis to raise dough using paypal, what’s the point of any hate speech designation?
Needless to say, I am not going back. I told her that, too. She wished I would reconsider. But, no. I am sticking with Gpal — the G stands for guns 🙂
via Paypal Called, Paypal Caved – Atlas Shrugs.

Some goes here, I am not going back to PayPal either, at least not for Blog Donations. I may, at a much later date, set up a PayPal address for non-blog related matters. But for Blog-Related Donations, I will be using GPal. Because I just do not need some liberal driving by here and reporting me to PayPal for hate speech. Pamela has more resources to fight such a charge, I do not.

Freedom of Speech is a priceless thing, and I realize that Companies like PayPal are not obligated to uphold freedom of speech laws. But we as Patriotic Americans also have the right to take our Business elsewhere, which I, Pam and a few others have done.

I will also make another note. I notice that other Bloggers who commented on this story; had much to say about it. But most of them are all still on PayPal. To you all, you are all nothing, but spineless cowards. Talk is one thing, actions are another, most of you sat praising Pamela Geller, all the while remaining on PayPal. You call that loyalty to America? Please. Actions speak louder the words, and you all said your peace during that little stand off. I am ashamed to call you my fellow Conservatives. I took action, I left E-Bay the minute that I become aware of this situation; I did at first want to keep out of it, then I realized, that it could have been me. Which is more that I can say for some of you. This will be remembered the next time one of you idiots gets yourself in some serious hot water with the other side of the political fence. I will just keep my little mouth shut too. Two can play that game people. Remember that.

Quote of the Day

All these things are minor irritants compared to the way the Obama administration is backing Peronist Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands – or, as Obama’s people call them, “the Malvinas”. British troops were the only sizeable contingent to support the US in Iraq and Afghanistan. We have fought alongside America in most of the conflicts of the past hundred years. Yet, when the chips are down, Obama lines up with Hugo Chávez and Daniel Ortega against us.
Not that we should feel singled out. The Obama administration has scorned America’s other established friends. It has betrayed Poland and the Czech Republic, whose Atlanticist governments had agreed to accept the American missile defence system at immense political cost, only to find the project cancelled. It has alienated Israel and India. It has even managed to fall out with Canada over its “Buy American” rules and its decision to drill in disputed Arctic waters. Never has there been a worse time to be a US ally.
No one denies that Obama was dealt a rotten economic hand; but he has played it ineptly. His policies are serving to make his country poorer, less free and less respected. And that is a problem for all of us .

The Southern Avenger on American Empire and Israel

Note to all my readers: I am posting these videos here, because I happen to believe in a diversity of opinion and discussion. The opinions expressed in these video should NOT be considered an opinion of the owner of this blog. I simply believe that ALL VOICES, not just a collective few, should be heard in the continuing discussion that is post-Bush Conservative Politics.

Terri Schiavo's former Husband proves to the world, just what kind of a tool he really is

What a tool:

Michael Schiavo - Tool-At-Large
Over 5 years after the very public, tragic and court-ordered execution of Terri Schindler Schiavo, the Schindler family still fights Terri’s husband who sought and secured legal permission to murder his disabled wife by dehydration. Michael Schiavo, Terri’s former husband, accuses Terri’s family of trying to exploit her saga by raising money for the foundation named after her, and the media has been too happy to accommodate his platform and buttress his attacks.
Started while Terri was still alive as Terri’s Fight, the foundation assists other disabled members of our society who may be deprived of their legal rights and medical care. The organization is run by Terri’s mother, Mary Schindler, her brother, Bobby Schindler, who serves as the spokesman for the organization, and Terri's sister, Suzanne Schindler Vitadamo. The Schindler family began the foundation to defray the legal expenses and the costs of providing Terri the rehabilitative treatment and medical care of which Michael barbarically deprived her to thwart her recovery.
Following Terri’s painful involuntary euthanasia death in 2005, the Schindler family changed the name to the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, and the organization has only has raised a modest amount of money, less than 6 figures, to support disabled people like her. Through the foundation, www.TerrisFight.org, Terri’s family has fielded countless calls from Texans due to the draconian Texas Advance Directives Act (Chapter 166.046 of the Health and Safety Code). The foundation has assisted TX Right to Life in our efforts to protect the disabled from the denial and withdrawal of life-sustaining medical treatment.
Michael Schiavo claims that a court document gives him rights to the name Terri Schiavo, and he alleges that no one can use her name without his permission. His attorney has written to the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, instructing Terri’s family to cease and desist using her name. Peculiarly, the man who denied Terri rehabilitative treatment because he wanted the money left for her medical care to himself, is now accusing Terri’s family of profiteering with her name.
via Terri Schiavo’s foundation sued by Michael Schiavo :: :: ProLifeBlogs.

The real kicker is this:

Ironically, Michael attempted to profit politically from Terri’s death, by starting a political action committee, called Terri’s PAC, to oppose “Bible-thumping politicians” who fought to protect her life. Eventually, the FEC closed down his PAC after repeated fines for late reports and violation of reporting guidelines.

Oh Yeah, this dude is a serious tool. I remember this case and it broke my heart to see what this man did to this woman. He was a heartless killer. Now he is proving to the World, just what kind of heartless tool that he really is.
