Stupid Local Story of the day: Crowd prays to heal Detroit's economy

Via The Detroit News:

Nearly 1,000 believers of all faiths descended on Hart Plaza Sunday to pray for healing and economic prosperity for the city of Detroit and the region.
Organizers from Warren’s Renaissance Unity mega-church titled the event “I lift Detroit in Prayer,” and distributed bright yellow bumper stickers with that message. The interfaith ceremony attracted members of the Jewish, Islamic, Christian and other faiths, as well as a mix of Detroiters and suburbanites.
“I am focusing on the economy of the Metro Detroit area,” said Jaime Nix, 58, of Warren. “We’re all in this together.”
The crowd sang “Amazing Grace” and many lifted their hands in prayer. Later, they were invited to scrawl prayers or positive affirmations in 48 journals positioned around the event.
At a time when the sign on the plaza’s kiosk still reads “Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick Welcomes You to Detroit,” many said they were there to pray for healing in the wake of the scandals that prompted the resignation of the former mayor.
“Detroit needs prayers, the way it’s been lately,” said Shannon Carrier, 37, of Roseville. “It’s been the mayor, the economy, unemployment … the list just goes on and on.”
Nancy Salder, 69, of St. Clair Shores, wrote a message of hope in one of the bright yellow books.
“I wrote ‘Thank you God for the transformation that’s already going on,'” Salder said. “We already have a new mayor. This is going to open up all the energy, and get Detroit back.”

While they’re praying, they ought to be praying for all those corrupt Democrats that brought all the troubles on the City of Detroit. Of course, the most corrupt one, Coleman A. Young, is already in hell. So, no amount of praying will help him.

While they are at it, pray for the corrupt unions that broke the Auto industry with their insane greed and collective bargaining to the point to breaking the Auto Companies and keeping them from turning profits.

Idiotic Liberals, you just have to love them, or you’d go crazy!

Our local economy is broken, let’s cry to the Gods! 😆 🙄

Powerful Video

I do wonder if the Obama campaign has seen this or not.

(H/T to Blogwonks)

…..However, I will be fair enough to point out the mistakes.

The Bush Administration admitted that the intelligence that the Bush Administration had, in the leading up to the war, was flat out wrong. Not to mention the “Cherry picking” and stifling of evidence and contrary opinion that surfaced during the lead up the war. Which, in the opinion of this writer, is nothing more than abject fascism.

While I am smart enough to know that this video was not made by the McCain campaign. It does ring at the certain heart string of the American people. However, factually this video falls on it’s face. I agree that the men and women who died in this war, did so believing that they were doing the right thing. However, it does not excuse the fact that mistakes were made. Further more, this video comes across as using our United States Military as some sort of political prop. Which I feel is absolutely sickening.

While this video may be powerful in image and in message. I believe it is a brazen attempt to smear Obama as unpatriotic and inferring that Obama hates our Military persons. That, I am afraid is a bogus lie. I assure you, that if Obama was as nearly as uncaring of our Military personnel as this video infers, he would not even be in the race at all. Because middle America would have never elected him the early primary, if he would have come off as uncaring towards our Military in the primary.

I just do not believe that people are going to buy the subtle message being inferred in this ad, at all. Perhaps in 2004, or even in 2000. But not this time. The country has shifted too much to the left. This because of the many scandals, missteps, and outright blunders by the Government in the last 8 years.

Once Again, I must instruct Liberals on what is racist and what is not….

*rolls out the blackboard*

mr_magoo

Alright class, today we will, once again, review as to what is racist and what is not.

Ready? Good!

THIS is Racist!:

Video: Unknown

Music: Johnny Rebel

This is NOT:

The Back story is Here.

This is called Political Satire. It is funny, that is what Political Satire does, make one laugh. It is commonly found in Political Cartoons. The only people that would find this sort of a thing, even remotely offensive, would be those who are commonly referred to as race baiters or race hustlers, or for short, Al Sharpton.

That is all….

Far Lefty loon talk radio host Randi Rhoads jumps the shark……again…….

(Via and a very big H/T to Captain Ed over at HotAir.com)

Here we go again! It seems that the far-lefty loon talk show radio host Randi Rhodes has once again jumped the shark.

On September 8, 2008, Rhodes claimed that Presidential Candidate John McCain received preferential treatment in Vietnam, when he was taken captive.

Now it seems, that she has her eyes on Sarah Palin, something that does not surprise this writer at all, seeing that she divorced her husband. and is suspected of being a closet lesbian.

Now, Rhodes is accusing Sarah Palin of sleeping with teenage boys.

The Video:

The Transcript:

RHODES (HOUR TWO — 47:59): She’s the woman who shows up at the kid’s birthday party and starts opining about everything from politics to lawn care. This is the woman that knows it all. Will shout you down, will get revenge on you. That’s who she is.
She’s friends with all the teenage boys. You have to say no when your kids say, ‘can we sleep over at the Palin’s? No! NO!’

This is the same Randi Rhodes, who is known for her unhinged skits, public spills, obscene rants and wild accusations.

This is the same sweat hog, who was FIRED from Air America for calling Hillary Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro both “Big f******ing whores”. She claims that she quit, after she was suspended, but anyone with the half a brain knows that’s a big fat lie. Not that it matters, but I happen to know personally, that there are those in the Liberal/Progressive community that do not like this woman, at all. I would show you the comments left about her over at Crooks & Liars after her firing from Air America, but they have since been closed. However, I can show you comments from DailyKos, by those who do not like her at all.

It was been said, over at DailyKos and on other progressive and far lefty liberal Blogs that Randi Rhodes is viewed as the far left’s answer to Michelle Malkin and Rush Limbaugh. Although, I would be willing to bet that fans of theirs would take issue with that assessment.

As I have said many, many, many, times over on this Blog. Do you see now why I left that side of the political fence? Ronald Reagan had it absolutely right when he gave that speech in 1964. Man did he ever.

Now THIS is crossing the god-damned line!

Now, they’ve pissed ME off!

Some asshole, by the name of Cintra Wilson, wrote a absolutely asinine article on Salon.com.

Some of the quotes from this article:

I confess, it was pretty riveting when John McCain trotted out Sarah Palin for the first time. Like many people, I thought, “Damn, a hyperconservative, fuckable, Type A, antiabortion, Christian Stepford wife in a ‘sexy librarian’ costume — as a vice president? That’s a brilliant stroke of horrifyingly cynical pandering to the Christian right. Karl Rove must be behind it.”
[snip]
I don’t want Sarah Palin being the representative leader and custodian of my rights, my Constitution and my country any more than I want polygamist compound leader Warren Jeffs baby-sitting for my preteen goddaughters.
[snip]
As a woman who does not believe what Palin believes, the thought of such an opportunistic anti-female in the White House — in the Cheney chair, no less — is akin to ideological brain rape.
[Snip]
It is a kind of eerie coincidence that Sarah Palin is being sprung on the public at the same time as the bimbo/frat-boy titty comedy “House Bunny,” which features a poster of a beautiful young lady with Playmate-style bunny ears, big, stupid eyes and her mouth hanging open like someone just punched her.
Sarah Palin is the White House bunny — the most nauseating novelty confection of the evangelical mind-set since Southern “chastity balls,” wherein teen girls pledge abstinence from premarital sex by ceremonially faux-marrying their own fathers.

I have zero clue who the fuck this asshole bitch is. But this little bullshit article, is way over the line. I mean, if a Conservative had wrote something like this about Hillary Clinton, the outrage would have been deafening. However, because it is about Sarah Palin, it is perfectly acceptable.

I am not a big fan of John McCain, or Sarah Palin for that matter, but this sort of ignorant bullshit is just fucking wrong. I can see criticizing her for her policies, but this goes way beyond that. This is slandering a woman, simply because you disagree with her political ideology.

But then again, we are talking about the communist far left, who hate America, it’s military, and the values and morals that it stands for.

I say it again, do you NOW see WHY I left that sort of nonsense?

Oh, by the way, I wonder if the Obamassiah would approve of this? or would he say “Enough!”

May this bitch rot in the devil’s hell.

Egad, Ralph Nader has just crossed into “PLEASE SEND ME MONEY!” Territory….

I saw this and I about pissed my pants laughing!

This was in my inbox:

Check it out:

I was sitting at my dinner table last night eating a two two two cookie.
It’s my mother’s recipe.
Simple.
Healthful.
Nutritious.
It’s called a two two two cookie because it has two cups of oats, two cups of flour, two cups of . . you get the idea.
As I’m biting into my two two two cookie, I’m asking myself:
What was the number one issue in the Presidential horse race for the past couple of days?
Answer:
Lipstick.
And then I asked myself: Why are Presidential campaigns so cosmetic?
Why can’t they be more substantive — like my mother’s cookies?
This got me to thinking about an idea that would help us raise money to push our substantive agenda onto the front burner of American politics.
If you donate to Nader/Gonazlez by midnight tonight an amount that has the number two in it, we’ll e-mail to you Rose Nader’s two two two recipe.

That simple.
So, you can give $2.
Or $12.
Or $20.
Or $22.
Or $200.
Anything up the to the maximum of $2,300.
But it has to have at least one two in it.
If it has a two in it, we’ll e-mail you the recipe.
(Of course, your two two two donation will help us reach our current fundraising goal of $80,000 by the September 17 deadline. Your donation will help us fund our get out the vote drive over the last seven weeks of this campaign — which translates into putting the substantive Nader/Gonzalez shift the power agenda front and center in this crucial election year.)
Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication.
Onward to November.
Ralph Nader
PS: Remember, if you give $100 or more, we will also send you In Pursuit of Justice, the 520-page book of essays by yours truly — essays on corporate power, the Constitution, and transforming our country. If you donate $100 or more now, we will send you this historic collection — and I’ll autograph it. (This book offer ends at 11:59 p.m. September 17, 2008.)

Egad, what’s next? Hawking your unused clean undies or something? I mean, when you’ve gotten to the point of hawking your Mom’s cookie recipe, you know a President Candidate is desperate.

No wonder that feckless jackass has never been elected.

Flashback: Nader’s position on Isreal.

Technorati Tags: Opinion ,Politics ,Ralph Nader ,Stupidity

There's a fine line between reporting the facts and desperation

….and wise is the man, that knows the difference between the two.

Someone needs to tell that to the Washington Post.

The Washington Post reports:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has billed taxpayers for 312 nights spent in her own home during her first 19 months in office,
charging a “per diem” allowance intended to cover meals and incidental expenses while traveling on state business.
The governor also has charged the state for travel expenses to take her children on official out-of-town missions. And her husband, Todd,
has billed the state for expenses and a daily allowance for trips he makes on official business for his wife.
Asked Monday about the official policy on charging for children’s travel expenses, Garnero said: “We cover the expenses of anyone who’s
conducting state business. I can’t imagine kids could be doing that.”

The problem with that, in the same article it says:

Palin, who earns $125,000 a year, claimed and received $16,951 as her allowance, which officials say was permitted because her
official “duty station” is Juneau, according to an analysis of her travel documents by The Washington Post.
Gubernatorial spokeswoman Sharon Leighow said Monday that Palin’s expenses are not unusual and that, under state policy, the first family
could have claimed per diem expenses for each child taken on official business but has not done so.
“As a matter of protocol, the governor and the first family are expected to attend community events across the state,” she said. “It’s
absolutely reasonable that the first family participates in community events.”
The state finance director, Kim Garnero, said Alaska law exempts the governor’s office from elaborate travel regulations. Said Leighow: “The
governor is entitled to a per diem, and she claims it.”

and about her kids:

Leighow noted that under state policy, all of the governor’s children are entitled to per diem expenses, even her infant son. “The first
family declined the per diem [for] the children,” Leighow said. “The amount that they had declined was $4,461, as of August 5.”

and the money quote:

Gov. Palin has spent far less on her personal travel than her predecessor: $93,000 on airfare in 2007, compared with $463,000 spent
the year before by her predecessor, Frank Murkowski. He traveled often in an executive jet that Palin called an extravagance during her
campaign. She sold it after she was sworn into office.

Now, she didn’t sell it on E-Bay, she sold it through a broker, at a loss no less, but this idiotic stuff, is just that, idiotic. There’s no scandal here. She took the money, because she was entitled to it.

Looks like the MSM is really desperate for a story and they went with this. They’re channeling the New York Times here, and it could come back to haunt them.

Sorry guys, I don't buy it

I happen to be reading over at HotAir.com.

It seems that Ed Morrissey was on the Northern Alliance Radio Network, and some guy, claiming to be a volunteer driver calls in and proceeds to tell them that MSNBC’s coverage was rigged, that MSNBC’s people basically lied about what they said on the air, and that Chris Matthew’s prescreened everyone, before interviewing them.

You can listen to the audio, by going here.

Okay, first of all, were any precautions taken to ensure that this guy was not some sort of crank caller? I highly doubt this.

Second of all, as much as I realize that MSNBC is now a left leaning network, mostly at night, this sort of “bottom of the barrel” type of scraping to find dirt on networks that don’t agree with your political ideologies is, quite frankly, childish and immature.

You think Fox News doesn’t pre-screen people on their network? Please. Don’t make me laugh.

If the Republican Bloggers want to be taken seriously by the rest of America, they need to focus on Blogging about factual issues that matter to people, and get away from this dirty flinging and gossip nonsense. Because when you do this, you become, as far as I am concerned, the Republican version of TMZ.COM.

Local News: Kangaroo Court in Progress

In the mood to watch a circus?

There’s one in progress. The hearing to remove Democratic Party member, Detroit’s Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick as Mayor of Detroit. The full background of this whole legal circus is available here, here and Here.

Want to see a good reason NOT to have a ~~Black~~ Democrat in the White House? Look no further than the city of Detroit. Yeah, I know. Raaaaaacist! 🙄

Here’s hoping that Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm does the right and proper thing and gets this clown monkey out of the office of mayor of Detroit. But, I will not hold my breath, because as we all know, Democrats don’t cross one another.

The Obama campaign was unavailable for comment.
