This is why I use the block and report feature on twitter

Just offering a bit of unsolicited comment on two blog postings I just read.

Go read here and here.  I won’t quote any of it; it’s just too much.

Anyhow, today I found myself in a bit of a twitter battle with some Arabs on twitter, the ones who use the #OpIsrael hashtag on twitter. Real winners these people are; and I thought I would toy with them a bit. I called them dogs and watched as they and their sock puppets went into attack mode. When the crap started rolling in, I starting blocking and reporting.

Yeah, I know, I threw kerosene on a bonfire, so what?  😉 😛 😀

Anyhow, it makes for such a peaceful twitter feed and for a very quiet cellphone. The constant whistling and beeping on ones cellphone, when you’re getting mentions can be a bit unnerving. Yeah, I know, I can disable push up notifications; but that would cause me to miss something important.

On a more serious note: It’s not that I actually hate Muslims or Arabs. However, I happened to be one of the millions of Americas, who watched in horror as those planes slammed into the trade center buildings and the pentagon; and I shook with fear, when the media (CNN in my case) reported that there was plane headed to the White House in 2001. Because of this, I get a bit pissed off, when I see Arab idiots, like these idiots, that I was toying with, blaming Israel for 9/11 or even worse; Alex Jones blaming the United States Government for the 9/11 attacks. Let’s be real about this here: It was Muslims who did 9/11. Radical? Bullcrap. They were muslims that took their koran literally and acted on it. Period, end of damned story. Furthermore, I take offense to muslims and liberals who try to twist the blame back on white people, republicans, conservatives and basically America.

I’m not big on Wilsonian foreign policy; but, I am not a fool. I know who did 9/11; and I don’t trust them; and I believe that terrorism is a threat. This little adventure on twitter proved that. This is why I use block and report; because the more we get these morons off twitter; the better.

That is all.

 

AFL-CIO Posts tribute to Pete Seeger, screws up photo

d’oh!

I tend to think that Pete would get a kick out of it though.

I let them know about it:

 

Oy! They need to hire me; I would at least get the tributes right! 🙄

Update: Can’t be no worse than me. In the process of writing the post, I posted embed code in the visual editor! I think me and the AFL-CIO both need more coffee! 🙄

Anonymous Twitterer @natsecwonk outed as now fired Jofi Joseph, a former White House Official

This is most interesting. How this guy got away with this for as long as he did; speaks volumes to the incompetence of our Government. I thought the NSA could press a button and know all of this stuff? I thought that the Government was listening on everything; as snowden told everyone? Hmph, guess not.

If the house was smart; they would subpoena the man, force him to testify under oath, about everything he knows about fast and furious; and benghazi. Maybe even offer him clemency, if he tells everything; and I mean everything. But, it won’t happen now. The Republicans cannot afford anymore bad press; no thanks to the stupid, idiotic, clown actions of Ted Cruz. 🙄

The Story:

A White House national security official was fired last week after being caught as the mystery Tweeter who has been tormenting the foreign policy community with insulting comments and revealing internal Obama administration information for over two years.

Jofi Joseph, a director in the non-proliferation section of the National Security Staff at the White House, has been surreptitiously tweeting under the moniker @natsecwonk, a Twitter feed famous inside Washington policy circles since it began in February, 2011 until it was shut down last week. Two administration officials confirmed that the mystery tweeter was Joseph, who has also worked at the State Department and on Capitol Hill for Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Joe Biden. Until recently, he was part of the administration’s team working on negotiations with Iran.

During his time tweeting under the @natsecwonk name, Joseph openly criticized the policies of his White House bosses and often insulted their intellect and appearance. At different times, he insulted or criticized several top White House and State Department officials, including former National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes, Secretary of State John Kerry, and many many others.

More here at the Daily Caller. Freedom Outpost has a good write-up on this too.

Okay now, Listen: I admit it, after Governor Snyder’s little slime-ball move in lying to people like me, I have been on the outs with the Conservative movement and the Republican Party. But this stuff above is just uncalled for. If this is the left’s idea of impressing independents; you all have long way to go get my friends. Wishing death on people is no way to get your message across. Furthermore, repealing the second amendment? Are you people serious?!?! Here is a dose of reality for you, it will never happen. Not in America. This is not Britain, we will always have guns here. Now deal with it and move on.

Not only that, but how about mustering up some of the outrage towards the killer’s Mother, who was the one who bought the weapons, knowing full darned well that her son was mentally ill? She is the one to blame really, the young man who pulled the trigger is ultimately the person who carries the blame. But the Mother of the trigger man shares that blame too.

Special Comment: Farewell Twitter

Last night after one fight too many, after having my account suspended and then restored for the fatal offense of speaking my mind; I have done something that I really hated to have to do.

I left Twitter for good.

I have deactivated my twitter account, and I have left the platform for personal use for good.  I did create a new account for the sole purpose of dissemination of the contents of this blog.  However, I will not be actively using the platform any longer.  I will not be following anyone outside of news agencies and well-known public figures related to the subject of politics.  However, I do not plan to be a regular user of the service any longer.

The reason for this decision is this; twitter has become an open running sewer of sorts.  Twitter also has become a place where freedom of speech is chilled, and is even frowned upon.  The reason that I came to this horrifying conclusion is this: Last night, I happen to come upon a debate by the likes of a so-called libertarian, who is in all honesty, a Liberal turned Neoconservative — but, then again, I repeat myself — and a sworn liberal of the utter contemptible sort.

Now, the liberal of the contemptible sort, none other than a one Oliver Willis, who happens to be of African origins and is of the black race, is an utter piece of human excrement.  I could sit here and tell you of the utter lies, half-truths, and awful things that this awful man wrote about John McCain and Sarah Palin during the 2008 election, but this piece would go on for over one hundred pages.  Now, I am not talking about whether John McCain or even Sarah Palin were even qualified for the job of President or not.  This went well beyond that and was in league of that deranged homosexual Andrew Sullivan.

What happened was this:  Oliver Willis and a one, “Jazz Shaw” (he will not use his real name, as he is too much of a coward, unlike Me.) were debating whether Mitt Romney should release his tax returns or not.  Mr. Shaw (not his real name) was saying that The Democratic National Committee’s chairperson should also release her tax returns.  Somewhere in the middle of this argument on twitter, I stuck my nose in and made a remark about this Oliver Willis that would be considered politically incorrect.  I did this, because again, I find this man to be utterly contemptible.  The comment involved President Barack Obama, the male sex organ and Oliver Willis’s mouth.  Yes, I went there and I have no problems admitting it.

The next thing I know, I am being referring to by “Jazz Shaw” as a “racist dickbag” (his words, not mine.) and I was called an “a-hole” by this one Oliver Willis.  I responded to Oliver Willis in kind, a called him a word, that is considered to be politically incorrect by liberal and most neoconservative standards.  The next thing I know, instead of these so-called Conservatives rallying to my side and defending me; they start actually defending this bastard Oliver Willis and working on getting my twitter account suspended.  They succeeded in the short term, but I was able to reactivate the account rather quickly.

This is when it hit me; twitter is just not a good place for someone like me, not anymore.  When twitter first started out, back in 2007, it was a great place to hang out and enjoy one’s self.  Since that time, Twitter has been become overrun with neoconservatives, awful liberals, speech Nazi’s and a cesspool of utter trolls, ready to pounce on the first unsuspecting person.  Simply put — twitter is not a place I would honestly recommend to anyone anymore.

Therefore, I deactivated my account, and uninstalled all of the twitter apps on my iPod touch and will not be using that idiotic platform any longer, except as noted above. I do wish I could say that I honestly could recommend twitter to anyone, but after last night; I would never ever recommend anyone to that awful place — nor will I ever.

To end this piece, I have a message for Twitter Inc.:

First, as a good friend of mine, James O’Guinn would say, “It has been real, it has been fun — but it has not been really fun.” Secondly, please, change your banning feature.  Suspending an account in this manner is amount to speech Nazism.  It is prone to abuse and has been abused by many in the past.  Because of this, I am stopping using your service for personal use.

I know my comments were not well received by many, but twitter users should have the right to block what they do not wish to view.  However, twitter users should not be permitted to disable my right to freedom of speech.  This is a libertarian concept, but as I know; the founders and employees of twitter are not libertarians, they are socialists and Marxists, who believe that freedom of speech is subjective and should be controlled.  Not that I feel entitled to express my views on a private service, but this sort of squashing of free speech is quite unnerving.

Because of this — I have disabled my account and other for the reasons of blog promotion — I have left twitter.

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….
