From the Dept of 'Now why am I not suprised?' – Press is now turning on Obama

Sorry, I got no pity for ’em:

Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors, and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas:

— Day-to-day interaction with Obama is almost nonexistent, and he talks to the press corps far less often than Bill Clinton or even George W. Bush did. Clinton took questions nearly every weekday, on average. Obama barely does it once a week.

— The ferocity of pushback is intense. A routine press query can draw a string of vitriolic e-mails. A negative story can draw a profane high-decibel phone call or worse. Some reporters feel like they’ve been frozen out after crossing the White House.

— Except toward a few reporters, press secretary Robert Gibbs can be distant and difficult to reach — even though his job is to be one of the main conduits from president to press. “It’s an odd White House where it’s easier to get the White House chief of staff on the phone than the White House press secretary,” one top reporter said.

— And at the very moment many reporters feel shut out, one paper — The New York Times — enjoys a favoritism from Obama and his staff that makes competitors fume, with gift-wrapped scoops and loads of presidential face time.

“They seem to want to close the book on the highly secretive years of the Bush administration. However, in their relationship with the press, I think they’re doing what they think succeeded in helping Obama get elected,” said The New Yorker’s George Packer.

“I don’t think they need to be nice to reporters, but the White House seems to imagine that releasing information is like a tap that can be turned on and off at their whim,” Packer said.

These idiots knew what they were getting when they elected Obama; so, I have no pity for them. You elect an guy with the ego the size of Texas, you deal with it. Don’t like his style of dealing with the press? You should have thought of that, BEFORE you went into the tank for him. This is what happens when you treat a black Harvard graduate like a novelty and then turn that man into your party’s personal Messiah.

RedState Update Asks, 'Where are the Moderate Muslims?'

RedState Update HQ

Update: …and for a Bonus:

Believe it or not: I actually agree with Ann Althouse

For once; the blond harpy is making sense.

Go Read.

The reason? Just what I posted last night. Making fun of someone’s religion is just fucking wrong. It is just as wrong as the idiots who threatened south park’s creators.

It’s a collectivist mindset. You know; “Oh! Them “rag heads” flew them planes into the trade center! So ALL Muslims and Arabs are terrorists! Right??! Right???”

Uh, No. Most American Muslims are peaceful people.

The point is folks, if you want to get your Pamela Geller and Debbie Schlussel on; go for it. But when you are branded a fucking bigot for it, please, do not cry about it. Because quite frankly, you deserve the fucking title.

…and before anyone says anything; I admit, in the past, I have written some things on here that would give a liberal a knee jerk reaction; I’m good at such stuff. Further more, I will admit, I am highly suspicious of Muslims, mostly due to Muslims in this area, who have ties to extremism. But to go off and mock Muslims in General is just plain bigotry. It is no better than someone mocking a Jew or a Catholic. Both of which are protected classes in the Country. So, why single out a group of people, of whom extremists have hijacked thier religion to fulfill their mentally deranged dreams?

Further more, anyone that thinks that the attacks on 9/11 gave anyone license to be a fucking bigot; is crazy. You wouldn’t mock blacks like that… so why mock Muslims? Not only that, does that not make you as bad as the 9/11 hijackers? They were bigoted towards America and our values —- now, do you want to be just like them?

Like it nor not; I do have a point.

That is all.

Video: We Will Remember

(H/T HotAir)

Sign the Pledge at We Will Remember.

Why do Conservative Christians do stupid stuff like this?

More for the stuck on stupid file….:

Video: (H/T TPM)

Video Yanked….See below…

Quote:

Pastor Stan Craig, of the Choice Hills Baptist Church, was particularly angry about the state of Washington, saying he “was trained to defend the liberties of this nation.” He declared that he was prepared to “suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do.”

Oh, that’s just wonderful; give the liberal media the ammo they need to paint everyone, who disagrees with Obama, as far right wing zealots who want to overthrow the damn Country. 😡 🙄

What really steams me about this, this idiot is one of those King James Only, Independent, Fundamentalist Baptist preachers, that I happen to agree with, as far as his biblical doctrine goes. However, I should be clear, I DO NOT AGREE with that idiotic nonsense that he said on that podium! 😯 😮

I really, honestly, believe that this pastor needs to read this:

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. — (Romans 13:1-7 KJV)

In better English:

1LET EVERY person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God’s appointment.(A)

2Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].

3For civil authorities are not a terror to [people of] good conduct, but to [those of] bad behavior. Would you have no dread of him who is in authority? Then do what is right and you will receive his approval and commendation.

4For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, [you should dread him and] be afraid, for he does not bear and wear the sword for nothing. He is God’s servant to execute His wrath (punishment, vengeance) on the wrongdoer.

5Therefore one must be subject, not only to avoid God’s wrath and escape punishment, but also as a matter of principle and for the sake of conscience.

6For this same reason you pay taxes, for [the civil authorities] are official servants under God, devoting themselves to attending to this very service.

7Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due. Romans 13:1-7 AMP

I am not a Pastor, nor would I ever claim to be; but peradventure, and I say this only as a layperson — getting on a podium and saying you would like to “suit up, get my gun, go to Washington, and do what they trained me to do.” —- is highly unbecoming of a Born-Again Christian, much less a Pastor.

If I were on the deacon board of this Church, I would be making me some plans to meet with this Pastor. Because this sort of thing, should NOT be allowed to happen in a Church.

Update: It appears that the video was yanked, for obvious reasons I’m sure. May this be a lesson to those involved, that saying idiotic stuff like this, is just plain crazy and it has no place in public discourse.

UPDATED: – Cowardly, Politically Correct Conservatives Drive a Proud White American from a Tea Party Protest

This my Friends is USDA Grade A Bullshit! (Via Sharp Elbows – H/T Gateway Pundit)

“I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We’re proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn’t have had all these problems over all these years.” — Trent Lott.

My, how things have changed in the Conservative movement. Look, I know the guy was out of place. The fact is, that we as White Americans have FAILED to stand up against the black liberal movement in this Country and because of it, we are in the spot that we are now. Hell, nobody and I mean, NOBODY can say anything remotely cross about the black race in this damned Country without being tagged a damned racist. But yet, the Black race can murder us, rob us, call us names; and not a god damned thing is said about it. That is the stupidity right there, that people like this man, dare to make a stand and all because he is wearing something that is considered “politically incorrect“, he gets tagged for it. That my friends, is BULLSHIT! 😡

I do not agree with his ideology; but I do applaud him for having the balls to stand up for what he believes in. SHAME on the so-called “Conservatives” who ran this man off, from legally assembling and espousing what he believes!

….and to those who would call ME a racist?

I have this to say to them:

‘Nuff Damned Said….. 😡

I end with quote from one of the greatest Republicans ever…:

“Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” — Source

Update: One point I want to make too is this; it would have been different if this guy was standing there, in a white robe and screaming the N-Word or something ugly like that. But, he wasn’t. He was standing there, minding his own damned business; and this tool, and I call him that, because that is what HE IS, walks up and starts hassling him. That my friends is my beef. I am a libertarian-minded Conservative, I believe in freedom of expression and speech. What this moron with the Camera did here, was nothing more than crap straight out of playbook of Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. (I repeat myself, but I digress….) Censorship and repression of free speech is a MAJOR issue with me and I will speak out against it anytime I see it. period, end of story.

Funny Quote of the Day

Lollar, a general manager at Cintas, is unabashed when it comes to addressing accusations of racism by the tea party movement’s opponents. “Can you believe that I have been accused of being a racist?” he asked the college Republicans. “Somebody once called me a racist. I looked at them and said, ‘My wife’s black — I can’t be!’” he joked to the crowd at a tea party rally in March.

Down

Right now, I am just not feeling it.

Every time we on the right make a gain, someone on our side; does something stupid to make our side look like farking morons.

I know, they do it too. But farking aye people… Enough is enough.

So, right now, I need a break.

I’ll come back, when I’m ready… But right now, I give up.

Maybe I’ll come back to two days, maybe two weeks, maybe two years. Hell, maybe never.

I just need to stop for a few days or so…

Movie: Just in case anyone has forgotten

Just remember, Ron Paul believes in negotiating with these bastards. Therefore, he is a terrorist supporter. So are Democrats.
