Thanks to “Da Tech Guy” for defending me.
I apologized and wrote a mea culpa about all this. I don’t know who’s spreading what; But, I wish they’d just damned stop or at least stop linking to my blog.
I guess I’ll have to update my archives… Grrrrrr… 😡
This is sad, very sad…:
In response to a horrific series of shootings that has sown terror in our communities, victimized tens of thousands of Americans, and left one of its own bleeding and near death in a Tucson parking lot, Congress has done something quite extraordinary — nothing at all.
I was shot in the head while meeting with constituents two years ago today. Since then, my extensive rehabilitation has brought excitement and gratitude to our family. But time and time again, our joy has been diminished by new, all too familiar images of death on television: the breaking news alert, stunned witnesses blinking away tears over unspeakable carnage, another community in mourning. America has seen an astounding 11 mass shootings since a madman used a semiautomatic pistol with an extended ammunition clip to shoot me and kill six others. Gun violence kills more than 30,000 Americans annually.
Jeez…. first Alex Jones going on Morgan’s show and now this.
Earlier, as in a few minutes ago, I had some rather nasty stuff in here. I changed my mind; it’s gone. This is just another example of exploiting a shooting victim, like Brady. It sucks, but it happens.
I have written in here before about how I am not a fan of Piers Morgan and I am not really. But this right here, did us no favors at all, those of us who believe in the second amendment:
If that was not bad enough, there is this:

Again, I am sympathetic to the second amendment cause as anyone; but putting Alex Jones on to rant about an American revolution is just not the way to fight for gun rights. I also notice that this story very quickly disappeared from Drudge’s front page and for good reason. I don’t believe we need Alex Jones as our spokesman for the second amendment.

Update: I watched the second video. My impression is this, Alex Jones is either telling the truth or he is one hell of a good actor. Jones is not too far away from the truth about the Mafia and the New World Order stuff. Truth is, he did go into the belly of the beast there in New York.
As for Alex Jones himself, I believe that Morgan got the reaction he wanted from Jones and it suited his agenda well. It might have backfired against the gun defenders however, because toward the end, Jones sounded a bit like he was challenging Bloomberg to a duel or something. Again, it is not that I don’t support what the right believes in gun rights, I do. I still just do not believe that the purpose of gun rights was served well here.

It’s like criticizing a skeptic for inviting the “experts” from “Ancient Aliens” on and then not asking thoughtful questions about aerodynamics. Just wind ‘em up and let ‘em go.
Now that, is funny. Ha! AP also asks for followup question. So, here’s mine. Who the hell had the idiotic idea of allowing this idiot on to defend gun rights!?!?! 😯
You can get Alex Jones version of events here. I didn’t watch the video, I didn’t have the stomach.
Update #2: Mitch Berg is thinking along the same lines as me.

I am selling the domain that I owned for a year. The Domain is KJVHOST.COM and it is for sale here on e-bay.
My asking price or buy it now price is $60.00. That will help me recoup my investment into the hosting business, although, not all of it.
Hopefully, someone buys the thing.
As I was saying, I moved to a new server.
I also happened to notice my sidebar. I had just changed all of that; I should have backed up before I left. *headdesk*
So, more work… 🙄
No rest for the weirdos. Sometime, I have to fix lunch too. 😯
People get desperate:
Stay classy, Atlanta burglars.
Last month, thieves reportedly stole more than $250,000 worth of equipment from a warehouse northwest of the city, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The building was being used to film “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues” — a sequel to the 2004 comedy “Anchorman,” starring Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate.
The building’s owner, Davis Nort, told authorities that $300,000 worth of copper wiring had been stripped from the building. The suspects also made off with four Apple computers.
“It’s a shame this happened,” Nort told WSBTV, “because Atlanta is really trying to get big in the film industry.”

The plain truth is that the Democrats under Bill Clinton passed the sub-prime clause to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1973, in 1994. Clinton also repealed the Glass–Steagall Act. This caused an economic bubble and destroyed our economy. To be fair, the Republicans did not help matters either, when they removed a good deal of regulation from the SEC on loans and loan companies. This only made things worse from the standpoint of how bad and big the bubble became.
When bubbles collapse like this one has, people become unemployed and people get desperate and when they do, they begin to steal. The ironic thing here is that the very polices that got us into this whole mess, which were passed in the 1990’s by the Democrats, are the very same one’s that the Democrats are advocating for now and are supported by people like Huffington Post and its owner.
In case you have not noticed, the blog has moved. I am now being hosted by HostingMatters.
Hopefully things will be better here. I won’t get into why, it was just beyond time to move on. No hard feeling towards Matt at Hostmist.com. I just gave up on being a reseller. So, I decided just to go to shared.
Also too, allow me to mention that some stuff that was here, is no longer here. due to the move. My apologies. 🙁
Here I go, agreeing with Ed Brayton, who by the way, got his chest ripped open to find out what the heck was wrong with his heart. Which made me think, “Wait, he has a heart?!?! 
“ (I kid, of course… 
)
Writing over at the neoconservative WorldNetDaily, Burt Prelutsky writes the following:
That has changed, as you may have noticed. And I lay a great deal of the blame at the feet of my fellow Jews. When it comes to pushing the multicultural, anti-Christian agenda, you find Jewish judges, Jewish journalists and the largely Jewish funded ACLU at the forefront. What makes them even more obnoxious is that, by and large, the Jews who are leading the crusade against what is, we should never forget, a national holiday, are secular. So it’s not even a question of their religion being shortchanged; they hate their own, as well. They’re the pinheads who pretend that “separation of church and state” appears in the Constitution…
But the dirty little secret in America is that in spite of the occasional over-publicized rants by the likes of Mel Gibson and Michael Richards, anti-Semitism is no longer a problem in society; it’s been replaced by a rampant anti-Christianity.
Ed Brayton correctly notes:
You knew it had to come down to this, right? If there’s a war on Christmas, you just knew that it was the Jews behind the whole thing, running it all from their seats of extraordinary power in the banking and entertainment industries. But Burt Prelutsky can say that, because he’s Jewish…
[….]
That could have come straight out of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, or out of Mein Kampf, which blamed the Jews for everything imaginable that was bad in society. It’s all part of a conspiracy to force us to use dreidels, or something.
I have to agree with that, it is quite interesting that this guy can say this sort of a thing. But, yet, you let someone like me point out the fact that people like Bill Kristol and the rest the neocon clan want unilateral war with Iran, and how the neocons ruined the once great Republican Party —- and I am called a bigot, an anti-Semite and all other sort of nonsense. It is a double standard and it sucks.
But that is what happens when a political party panders to a politically privileged ethnic group. The funny thing is that the Republican Party is going to do it again, with people who are supposed to be known as illegal aliens or border invaders. Funny how all that works.
This ought to cause anyone, of any political stripe to be a bit concerned:
The federal government will continue to access Americans’ emails without a warrant, after the U.S. Senate dropped a key amendment to legislation now headed to the White House for approval.
Last month, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an amendment attached to the Video Privacy Protection Act Amendments Act (which deals with publishing users’ Netflix information on Facebook pages) that would have required federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant before monitoring email or other data stored remotely (i.e., the cloud).
The Senate was set to approve the video privacy bill along with the email amendment, which would have applied to a different law, the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act. But then senators decided for reasons unknown to drop the amendment.
You have to know why this happened; President Obama told the Democrats and the Republicans to drop the amendment. As the Government, is the name of peace and security, is basically violating constitutional rights.
Now to be clear; I am not using this blog posting to just bash President Obama. President George W. Bush and the neoconservative Republicans were doing the same thing during the Bush Presidency. So, if we are to bemoan Obama for this, we should be fair and inform people that Bush was doing the same thing.
When Bush was doing it, the neoconservatives and their defenders in the blogosphere were wetting themselves with glee about it. Now that Obama is in the white house, and is continuing with the polices of Bush, the Neoconservatives are all but silent about it and some are complaining.
Why I see it, those who institute unconstitutional policies, should not complain when the other party continues with those polices.

John Podhoretz and Bill Kristol will be wetting themselves with joy over this one:
(Reuters) – Six U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states demanded on Tuesday that Iran end what they called interference in the region, reiterating a long-held mistrust of their main rival.
The Islamic Republic denies trying to subvert Saudi Arabia and its wealthy Gulf neighbors.
A communique issued at the end of a two-day summit of the Saudi-led Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) also urged action to halt mass killings and violations of international law in Syria.
The oil-producing GCC states wield influence out of proportion to their sparse populations due in part to global energy and investment links, generous international aid and Saudi Arabia’s role as home to Islam’s two holiest sites.
“The council expressed its rejection and condemnation of the continuing Iranian interference in the affairs of the Gulf Cooperation Council’s states and called on Iran to stop these policies,” the communique said.
On the conflict in Syria, the statement, read out by GCC Secretary-General Abdulatif al-Zayani, added: “We ask the international community for serious and swift moves to stop these massacres and these severe attacks that contradict all religions and international laws and humanitarian principles.”

The Neoconservatives that I wrote about here, just got handed the World’s greatest Christmas present: War with Iran. Seeing that Obama is continuing with the same foreign policy as George W. Bush; I look for Obama to start military action sometime this year. Obama does not have to worry about reelection or angering his base. So, war will be coming, bank on it.
Funny how history repeats itself.
