A follow up on linking and quoting this blog

I wanted to write a follow-up to a previous posting on this blog. Mainly, because in the video that was included with that posting made me look and sound like I was some sort of a fire breathing manic. Frankly, when I shot that video, I was highly annoyed and I do freely admit to having a very fierce temper. I get it from my Mother and Father’s sides of the family. My Grandmother’s brother, who was known to the family as “Buddy Hayes,” had a red-hot temper than used to scare the wits out of me. My Father’s side of the family were known for their tempers too, although, their fuses were much longer. I will say that in my advanced years, I am a bit less prone to, as they say, “blow a head casket” than I was when I was around 19 years old. I still have a fuse; it is just much longer and is not as prone to explode as it used to be. It comes with age and maturity. However, you lay a finger on my coffee mug in the mornings; you might just be taking your life in your hands. 😉

Okay, now to what I really meant, when I said all that in the video. The phrase, “my thoughts and rantings are not up for wholesale use.” Now, to the average person, this would be a confusing statement; so, I shall explain. What I meant by that is this here; I do not mind people linking to this blog and quoting my words and statements, in fact, I encourage it! This is what makes the Blogosphere go around. However, I do have a problem with people who use my words to push a particular “Meme” as they are called today.

For example, I made the following comment about a particular bloggers skirt length during an interview:

One thing I will give to the Jewish people and to the Muslim people; at least they are sincere about what they believe and actually act like it.

This quote was bandied around the blogosphere and made some internet news sites. It is not that I minded my words being quoted; it was why my words were quoted by a particular blogger, which made me, as they call it, “ ready to blow a head gasket.” I, and a few other bloggers were quoted by a particular blogger, because he had, as they call it, “an axe to grind” with another blog, a media company and another blogger himself. The man was angered because he was passed over for a job as a full-time blogger. To add insult to injury, the said media company that owns said blog, hired a woman — who, in the opinion of some, is a no-talent bimbo and was hired for her external appearance. This, in my humble opinion, smacks of sexism.

What really had this writer ready to bite a nail in two; was the fact that my words, which were a simple, “off the cuff” observation that was never really intended to be used anywhere else, much less be paid much attention to — was used by another blogger as evidence of said female blogger’s morals and sexual looseness. This was, in fact, never my intention in the first place. What really gets my goat, is that this said purveyor of said “internet meme” or rumor about said female blogger, is under some sort of personal delusion that he is somehow the Blogosphere’s version of Hunter S. Thompson. As much as it going to sound like I am being an unkind person, I believe, said person needs to find another line of work. Because Hunter S. Thompson he is not. Furthermore, I find it quite ironic that said blogger would even remotely consider someone like Mr. Thompson as a person to aspire to, considering that Thompson was an ardent leftist and hated everything that Conservatives stood for.

Again, let me reiterate in the strongest terms that I can muster as a writer; I do not mind being linked to, quoted and discussed. In fact, I find all of the attention rather humorous, considering the fact that I am nothing more than high school dropout, with ADHD; whose biggest feat was managing not ending up in a state prison cell. Again, you may quote me all you wish; but please, if you are quoting me, because you want to create a false impression of someone, because you have an axe to grind with something or someone —- please, refrain from using my words to further your cause.

I hope that this will the last time I ever have to address this rather idiotic subject.

Memo to Rick Santorum: This is not helping your cause

This is not a smart move, Mr. Santorum.

Via the Detroit News:

Washington — Rick Santorum on Sunday condemned what he called President Barack Obama’s world view that “elevates the Earth above man” and requires insurers to pay for prenatal tests that will encourage more abortions.
A day after telling an Ohio audience that Obama’s agenda is based on “some phony theology, not a theology based on the Bible,” the GOP presidential candidate said he wasn’t criticizing the president’s Christianity.
“I’ve repeatedly said I don’t question the president’s faith. I’ve repeatedly said that I believe the president’s Christian,” Santorum said in a broadcast interview. “I am talking about his world view, and the way he approaches problems in this country. I think they’re different than how most people do in America.”
The former Pennsylvania senator said Obama’s environmental policies promote ideas of “radical environmentalists,” who, Santorum argues, oppose greater use of the country’s natural resources because they believe “man is here to serve the Earth.” He said that was the reference he was making Saturday in his Ohio campaign appearance when he denounced a “phony theology.”
“I think that is a phony ideal. I don’t believe that is what we’re here to do,” Santorum said. “We’re not here to serve the Earth. The Earth is not the objective. Man is the objective.”
Obama’s campaign said Santorum’s remarks were another attack on the president’s faith by Republican rivals in a nominating contest that has grown increasingly bitter and negative.
“It’s just time to get rid of this mindset in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith,” said Robert Gibbs, Obama’s former press secretary. “Those days have long passed in our politics. Our problems and our challenges are far too great.

I really hate to be the one to bring this out; nothing bothers me more than to have to point out the obvious. However, because I am a Lincoln Conservative, a libertarian-minded Conservative and because I happen to believe that all forms of bigotry are simply immoral, I must address this issue.

Mr. Santorum, your dog whistle racism needs to stop. This idiotic notion that President Barack Obama is not a Christian because he happens to disagree with your political stance is asinine at best. Mr. Santorum your use of the word “worldview” is troubling. Because I happen to believe that what you are actually saying is that because President Barack Obama is a man of color, because he is a black man; that somehow or another he views American differently than say yourself or even me.

My simple question to you sir is this; would you make the same statement of that nature to a Democratic Party Presidential candidate who was of the White race? I happen to believe that the answer to that very important question would be a resounding no. Because sir, it is a fact that your Party and the Conservatives that happen to reside in have been fanning the flames of an belief that because President Barack Obama is a black man and has ancestral ties to the African nation of Kenya; that somehow or another he is a communist. Further that he somehow or another loves the Nation of Kenya more than he loves the United States of America.

Mr. Santorum because I grew up on the southwest side of the City of Detroit, in the state of Michigan here, I find all of this to very mightily offensive. Furthermore, sir, I have a solemn warning to you and your campaign, and to the Republican National committee. If you do not drop this idiotic and utterly contemptible pursuit of dog whistle racism in your pursuit of the White House, you sir will lose and the Democrats will win the election in 2012.

Because there is something that you, your campaign and the Republican National Committee need to know, Michigan is a very diverse state; racially, politically and economically. Good portions of the residents of this wonderful state of ours are neither Republicans nor Democrats; many of them, like me, indentify ourselves as political independents, who usually vote for other third parties, if the candidates in the two major parties do not meet to what we feel meet our needs as citizens of this great Country of ours.

Mr. Santorum, if you continue this practice of “dog whistle” racism during this primary, you might actually succeed in defeating Mitt Romney in the primary here in Michigan. You might just also successfully be able to win the nomination of your own party. However, I assure you that you will lose the general election, not only here in Michigan, but nationally as well; because the America know when nuanced racist language is used against a black man. We knew in 1964, when the southern Democrats wanted to keep blacks in the south from being truly free and we know it now. We knew it during World War 2, when people from your own party objected to rescuing Jews from the insanity of Hitler. Sadly, some of your people in your party are still bigots of that sort.

So, please sir; stop this madness while you still can maintain control of your own message.

Time to tell it like it is: Bobby Brown is a freakin’ slime-ball puke

There are not enough words in the English language to tell how exactly how I feel about this idiot:

NEWARK — Bobby Brown, the ex-husband of Whitney Houston, left the New Hope Baptist Church just minutes before the funeral was to begin.
According to a person familiar with the situation, Brown brought an entourage of nine people with him to the Newark church and wanted them to sit with them in the family section.
“They were asked to leave,” the person said, referring to the entourage. Brown was not asked to leave, but “he left with the other people,” according to the person, who was not at liberty to discuss the situation publicly.
Brown appeared visibly upset as he left the church and got into a black Cadillac SUV.
via Visibly upset, Bobby Brown leaves Whitney Houston’s funeral | NJ.com.

You know, there are just some moments when you just have to tell it like it is. This here is one of them moments. Before I nuke this overrated piece of trash, named Bobby Brown, verbally into the next century, let me say this — Yes; I watched that funeral of Whitney Houston’s. I watched the entire service from beginning, until the incredibly sad ending, when Whitney’s mother was walking behind the casket of her own daughter, wailing and weeping for her daughter who was taken from her. Even I, the tough as nails type was nearly to tears. The reason is that I had to watch a woman, who is a grandma, having to bury her daughter. Children are support to bury their parents, not the other way around.

The question I have for Mr. Brown is this; why in the name of the Almighty God would he honestly need NINE people to follow him into a funeral of his ex-wife? Mr. Brown, you sir are a classless punk. Mr. Brown did it ever; at any time occur to you, that you did not need all those people to go into the Church with you? However, no, you just had to bring along your gang of friends along with you. To, as always, make a show of yourself. You sir, are a dirty slime ball piece of human excrement. YOU are the reason why Whitney Houston is dead in the first place! YOU are the reason that Whitney Houston was a drug-addicted junkie who could not keep herself straight long enough to record any record. Whitney Houston did those drugs to please YOU! To show just how much you appreciated her doing that, what did you do? You beat her; you mistreated her and generally acted like an ungodly buffoon. So much, in fact, that she ended up having to divorce your sorry self finally.

Then, to add insult to injury after the woman died from the drugs that YOU got her started on, YOU have the god-damned nerve to show up at her funeral and act like a spoiled punk ass brat and when you did not get your way, you leave in a huff! There happens to be a word that some people like to use to describe people like yourself, and it Begins with an N and ends with an R! You should be giving thanks to the almighty God in Heaven that the Huston family has not taken a contract out on your life. I am almost certain that her brothers would like to do this to you. I know I would, if I were them!

In closing, allow me to say this; Bobby Brown, grow up. Get on with your pathetic life and leave the Houston family alone. They have suffered enough and stay away from your daughter, she has already lost her Mother thanks to you, and you want to kill the daughter too? I mean, seriously. Also too, let me say this; let this be a lesson to Christian young women everywhere — stay away from devilish men, like Bobby Brown. If you have been raised in Church, like Whitney, find you a man in the Church and stay there! Do not be messing around with some fool in the world; because this right here is where you will end up, one way, or another — in the graveyard.

On Homeschooling

I will be straight and honest with you all, because that is how I do it around here. I was homeschooled for a short period in my life. I also attended Christian Schools for a good deal of my life. I also happen to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I take medication for it. I will be very honest with you; homeschooling is not for everyone. I used the ACE curriculum and I will say emphatically that ACE Schools are not suited for Children with learning disabilities. Furthermore, I have very mixed feelings on Christian Schools; if they are staffed with qualified teachers, they can be a good experience. If not, they can be a nightmare. Believe me; I have seen both sides of that coin.

For those who wonder, the A.D.H.D. affects my ability to excel in math. I can plus and minus with the best of them. However, when it gets any tougher than that, I do the run for the calculator. I am getting better with it, as I get older; my checkbook is always balanced. However, I will not be volunteering anytime soon to be solving any sort of complex scientific problem. In other words, if NASA were relying on me to get to the moon, we would be lucky to leave the drawing room!

However, I happen to notice this article over at Salon.com about how homeschooling your children would be a horrible thing and a slap in the face to the big Government public school system. There are a few things, that stand out in this article and I will touch on a few of them. When a parent takes his child out of the public school system and decides to homeschool them, that parent is saying that the school system that he is enrolling in is a failure and that child is unable to learn in it. Which is ironic, because when my Mother withdrew me out of the Christian School that I attended to homeschool me, which was done at my request; I was saying the same very thing about the school that I was attending at the time.

Another thing that stands out in this article is the nuanced dog whistle assertion that if your child is homeschool that he will grow up to be some “right wing extremist militia” type. My friends let me be clear; that assertion is absolute hogwash. It just so happens that I only spent like 2 years in public schools. The rest of educational years were spent in various Christian Schools, and I when I turned 18 years of age and registered to vote; I voted Democratic Party up until the year 2008. Yes, I did eventually did change my political views. However, the changing of my political stance had absolutely nothing to do with my Christian Schooling or my Home Schooling; my change in political philosophy was warranted by the idiocy of what was happening in the Democratic Party in the 2007 primary. Furthermore, my departure from the status as a Democratic Party voter was the utter hapless treatment of our United States Military and its service members that served in it. There are many more reasons, but for the sake of brevity, I will just list these.

Therefore, to my fellow Conservatives, libertarians and tea party friends: do not be bothered by this article. It is simply a progressive buffoon attempting to keep the Government union-backed public sector employees employed. Perhaps it is a sign, that the progressive left is feeling the heat and fears losing the overall battle of the political discourse in this Country. This in this writer’s humble opinion would be a good thing. As the far progressive left, as far as this writer is concerned has driven this Country into a state of ruin, and on top of that, lied their way into controlling that car. It is time for change and for a new discussion — an erasing and washing of the blackboard, if you will. The progressive way of thinking and operating this Country has failed and it is time for a massive redo. The progressive left knows this and this is why articles like this one are being written.

Do not be dismayed by this, we on the right in this Country; on the righteous side of the political discussion are armed with the truth, the left only has lies and propaganda. We shall prevail and we shall be victorious. Homeschooled youth usually have higher IQ’s; excel in most subjects and go on to do many great and important things. I was not the rule; I was the exception to that rule. Just because I suffer from a learning disability, which was diagnosed long before I ever started schooling; does not mean the entire idea of a homeschooled child should be thrown out. To do this would be to take away a parents right of individual choice and that, in a Constitutional Republic is very unacceptable.

I can block ads by URL, which I will, if you see an offensive ad and you think I should know about it; click the ad and get me the URL of site and I will add it to my block filter.

I’m all for capitalism and such; but I am also for keeping this blog a place where everyone can come without having to worrying about being offended by an Internet Ad.

Also too, on the subject of comments; that person that I mentioned? I ended up banning him. I will explain this —I love comments, I love discussion; but I have zero tolerance for people who come to a blog for the sole purpose of being an idiot troll. You come here and insult me and act like an ass? I’m not only going to ban your butt from commenting, I’m going to ban you from even viewing my blog. Why? Because I can. Viewing and participating on this blog is a privilege, and not a right. You louse up around here; and you’ll shown the door — period, end of story. IP block is a beautiful thing and I will use it, if need be.

This is the way that politics used to be

I think that this is a great story.

Via NYT:

LAKE JACKSON, Tex. — Once there was a challenge of a softball game from the Ron Paul clan to the Mitt Romney clan. “They didn’t show up,” Mr. Paul says. “We didn’t schedule it. We really razz them about that, ‘You guys chickened out!’ ”
This is the way that politics should be today!
In a Republican presidential contest known for its angry rivalries, the Romney-Paul relationship stands out for its behind-the-scenes civility. It is a friendship that, by Mr. Paul’s telling, Mr. Romney has worked to cultivate. The question is whether it is also one that could pay dividends for Mr. Romney as he faces yet more setbacks in his struggle to capture the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination.
Ideological similarities among supporters of Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich suggest that if Mr. Gingrich dropped out, many of his backers would coalesce behind Mr. Santorum. But as Mr. Paul steadily collects delegates, one thing that remains to be seen is whether his affinity — at least on a personal level — for Mr. Romney could help the former Massachusetts governor as the fight drags on.
Mr. Paul, a 76-year-old congressman from Texas, sees his three Republican rivals as more or less the same politically. He can be tough on Mr. Romney, whom he describes as a flip-flopper with a dubious political core.
“He’s been all over the place on some of this stuff,” Mr. Paul said in a recent interview near his Texas home. But he seems to segregate those views from his personal feelings for Mr. Romney, whom he sees as a steady, dignified personality whose devotion to wife and family reflect his own values.

I would recommend that you head on over and read the rest of that; it is a truly great story of how two men who disagree on much and still are friendly to one another. This is the way that it was back in the days of Ronald Reagan, him and Tip O’Neil would fight like dogs during business hours and then after business hours, Tip and Ron would have a drink at the White House and discuss the days events.

Again, at the risk of sounding like a nostalgic old fogie, this is the way things were done in the olden days. When leaders were statesmen, and not the idiots we have today. We could learn much from these people of old, it is tragic that people like Ron Paul are not more followed in the way they do things. Not that I support all of Ron Paul’s policy positions, but his statesmanship is something to be admired.

By the way, yes, I did give Althouse a little grief on her blog; she is a two-bit phony, in my humble opinion. She gives Ron Paul and Mitt Romney grief for their kindness toward each other. I think Ann Althouse could learn a little about what true Conservatism is from Rep. Paul. Because it is surely not what she pawns off as Conservative; that is for sure. Sorry, but voting for a liberal socialist Democrat is not conservative, not even close.

Oh boy: My critism of HotAir.com’s going Ann Coulter goes viral.

When I mentioned a particular lady’s skirt length, I never thought it would go viral. 😯

Well, It did. 🙄

To be fair, I was not the only person who noticed.

As for that other subject; I’ve said all I am going to about that.

Something tells me that Olbermann is going to mention this. I feel it.

Update: My original post just made politico. Whoo Boy… something tells me the next few days around here is going to be a swamp. …or at the least, a very deep creek! Anyone, got a paddle? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller? HALP! 😀 Luckily for me, I’m on reseller hosting with a decent host. If Drudge links in, I might be in some deep doo-doo though.

Okay, McCain, you win. I still don’t trust you no further than I could throw your scrawny, Fedora-wearing butt. But, (bu-bu-bu-but??!?) I’m grateful (so far!) for the major leap in traffic around here. I mean, politico? Holy hell. Them quoting me; is like the Republican Party using David Duke as a spokesman. It….just….doesn’t…feel….right. 😯

Oh, and Tina? Me too, Okay? I was not trying to insinuate that you were sexually loose or anything. I was simply saying not to do the “Ann Coulter look” thing. Hopefully, no one, including her; thought I was inferring such a thing.

Needless to say; I’m feeling like Snoopy, again…. *gulp*

Update #2: Susan Duclos calls me the Fashion Police and a prude. heh. Gee, does this mean I cannot post Bikini pictures here anymore? 😉

Update #3: Dr. Melissa revisits the controversy and says:

Oh, and since I’ve irritated everyone, I’ll address the social behavior in another post.

She irritated everyone? Heck, I’m the one who said she was showing off her “Hoo Hah.” (Tina! Not Dr. Melissa…)

Oh and I made Memeorandum, finally with the new blog. Yay! Thanks McCain… bunches. 😛

I kind of feel awful for having to do this, but, if this gets any worse, I might have to get better hosting. So, Hit the jar, please, if you can:

UPDATED: No War. But no friends either.

There used to be a rather angry post here about this guy.

Update: I have covered this great detail here, which resulted in my unlinking by some of RSM’s friends. As I suspected, I was being used as a pawn, in a grudge spat between this guy and Ed Morrissey. Which is why RSM sent me the traffic in the first place. Ed Morrissey informed me on his program today, that he has no problem with me at all. Which is pretty cool, considering I did offer a critique of one of his co-bloggers, which went viral and was used by said blogger to try and say that Tina was a untalented bimbo slut; which did not go over well with me at all. 😡

I’ve learned a bit from this mistake; I know now not to trust anyone in this Blogosphere; and I also won’t be linking carelessly anymore. I thought the little spat between me and McCain was over. But it turns out, he was just using me as a pawn. Charles Johnson might be wrong about the Anti-Jihadi bloggers, but he is right on point about RSM. This guy’s history is much, much more colorful than mine ever was. The worst thing I’ve ever been guilty of, is popping off about some American Jews, who I disagreed over foreign policy with. I’ve never been a member of any neo-Confederate organizations, nor have I written for any White Nationalist magazines either. I admit it, I’ve had ONE account at stormfront.org and it was for research purposes; and I don’t even have posting access to it any longer. Because the stormfronter’s figured out I was not down with their idiotic beliefs.

What bugs me, is the fact that the “right” Blogosphere simply glosses over this stuff. It is sicking. Needless to say; from this moment forward, I’m gonna be real careful who and where I link to; because quite bluntly, I don’t need the troubles.

Newt Gingrich: Encouraging the Birthers

Newt does this and wants to be taken seriously, as a Reagan Republican? Oh man, this is not going to end well for this man. Not at all:

Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich encouraged California attorney Orly Taitz to continue her campaign to question Barack Obama’s constitutional eligibility to hold office in a Southern California campaign appearance.
Taitz, who has filed several lawsuits aimed at securing Obama’s certified birth certificate and introducing evidence of his ineligibility for office, rose to her feet to address Gingrich in Pasadena. She suggested his lagging campaign could only be lifted by raising the issue publicly.
“It could help your campaign like it did Donald Trump,” Taitz said.
Gingrich responded by saying Taitz was better equipped for the role.
“That’s a project you should pursue,” he said.
via Gingrich meets eligibility attorney — WND .

Orly Taitz is the woman, by the way; who floated a bogus birth certificate to the blogosphere in 2008. Many, including myself, fell for it. In short, this woman cannot be taken seriously, nor trusted at all. Not to mention the fact that her mental status has been called into question. The bad part is that now Newt Gingrich is now giving this woman some credibility, that she really does not even remotely deserve.

In short; thanks Newt — thanks bunches. Flipping moron. 🙄

Oh yes, and by the way; yes, I know I wrote this:

If there ever was a case for calling someone a screwball Jew. This would be one of them. Someone please send this crazy woman back to Israel, where she belongs please; preferably in a straight jacket.

I stood behind what I wrote then and I still do now. To all Jewish people that happen to read this; would you want this screwball woman out in the media, as representative of your people? I know that I wouldn’t. No more than I would want David Duke out there as representative of my people. (Non-Jewish white people) My broader point here is this; every religious, ethnic, and class has its village idiot. You’ve just met one of them, who now is given more credibility than she really needs. (Before you say, ‘what about you?!?!” I don’t go around questioning the President’s origin of birth.)
