Video: A good reason why I am not a Democrat

This comes via Weasel Zippers: (H/T to GeeekGirl on twitter)

This has to be the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard:

Quote:


We don’t see them dealing with this in a forthright way at all; it’s certainly not a presidential way. It’s not even really a professional way to deal with it, as a politician. But this is a major moment for the GOP because Cain is a really important candidate, perhaps more important than any of the other candidates because he serves a massive psychological purpose. Because there’s a lot of people in the GOP who’ve been critical of Obama and have been made to feel that they are racist because of their criticism. Some of it has been racist, some of it has been reasonable, some of it has been business as usual Republican/Democrat stuff. Ok. Cain comes along, offering salvation, liberation. You’re not racist if you support Herman Cain. So now they have this Herman Cain card they can throw at us any time they are made to feel racist. So this is like a beautiful thing for them. So they need him to succeed as long as they can deal with him so that they can get their Cain card and make it as valuable as possible.

Well, I mean, Cain is giving comfort to racism the way that he purports himself, as we’ve discussed before on this show, so, I mean, this is not the person that you can hold up as, well, see, I’m not a racist, I love Herman Cain.

What is it with Democrats and race? It is like they just wanted to continue to stoke that fire of racial hatred between blacks and whites. Oh, I know why! It gets them votes.

On these occupy protests

I said this on my old blog quite a bit and I feel that it isvery important to say this as often as one can. These occupy protests are not pro-American, anti-big government,protests like the tea party protests were; but these are anti-capitalistic,anti-American, anti-everything protests that have been ginned up by the radicalfar left in this Country.  There arebeing supported and even funded by progressive groups and even supported byradical communist groups in this Country. 
These protests were supposed to be peaceful, but it nowseems that they have become violent in nature; this is because anarchists have become involvedin the protests as well — not to mention Neo-Nazis.  Even in my home city here in Detroit, theoccupy movement has spurred arrests.  It has become such an issue that themainstream left has begun dismissing the movement as a radical movement; casein point, TheNew Republic had a series articles dismissing the movement and warningDemocrats to keep their distance.
Again, this is from someone who has been out of work for avery long time.  I can, and do empathize with these people; however, the solution totheir troubles is getting Government out of private industry and lettingbusiness work, so that jobs can be created, rather than the bigger Governmentand a tearing down of the capitalistic society that we live in; which is whatthese people believe.  Because the polaropposite to the free capitalistic society is a tightly regulated Governmentsystem, as they had in communist Russia and we see how well that worked out.  Because in that sort of a system, the freedom ofthe people is suppressed, ask anyone who has happened to live in North Korea,there is no freedom in communism at all, not matter what these progressivebuffoons tell you.

On Herman Cain

To tell you all the truth, I personally think Herman Cain is toast. The way he is blaming everyone else, and not owning up to the fact that some people might have been troubled by his behavior; is a bit concerning to me. What also gets me, is he is having a “MoneyBomb.” How convenient.

I also agree that it is not racism, we do deserve to know everything that there is to know about the man. It appears that I am not the only one who feels it is time to cut bait with the man either. At first, I believed it was just people who didn’t want a black man in the white house again. But it appears that it is much more than that.

I am just glad to see this came out in the primary and not in the general election.

About the old blog

It is backed on my hard drive in a rather large gzip file, along with my SQL database. Someday, if my rich uncle gets liberated from the poor house; I will put that thing on a server somewhere for archive purposes. Until then, it sits on the drive here.

I am in no rush to do that really. I’d like to, but reality dictates otherwise.

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….

Can't say that I disagree with that

Transcript:

You know, our Founding Fathers, they put that Second Amendment in there for a good reason and that was for the people to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.

I hope that’s not where we’re going, but, you know, if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I’ll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out.

Petraeus briefly passes out during hearing

I really did not want to blog about this, because quite frankly, I do not consider it to be even news. But, eh, it’s content, I guess.

The Video, John McCain’s reaction is interesting:

The Story:

Gen. David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, briefly collapsed at a Senate Armed Services hearing on progress in Afghanistan.

Petraeus was about to answer a question when he went silent and passed out in front of the microphone. He quickly recovered, but the hearing went into recess and Petraeus was able to walk out under his own power.

He later returned to the hearing room and joked that he had felt “lightheaded” — but that the condition was not caused by questioning from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).

“I just got dehydrated,” Petraeus said.

Despite Petraeus wanting to go ahead with the hearing, chairman Carl Levin (D-Mich.) postponed it until Wednesday.

Of course, there is nothing funny about a guy falling out. But, he is okay. Just did not eat and was most likely overcome from the heat of the lights.

There was one funny headline, from the place that’s known for such stuff:

John McCain Nearly Bores David Patraeus To Death

HEH! Now, that was funny… 😛

Not to be outdone, Michelle Malkin Snarks:

Gatorade and Power Bars, stat.

Ed Morrissey over at HotAir.com remarks:

John McCain’s reaction is telling.

Well, gee Ed, what did you want McCain to do? —- Hop across the damned table and rescue the man himself? Give the guy a break, he is older than my Dad! 🙄

On the other side of the political fence, at least in my eyes. Some nasty comments were observed. The Racist, Anti-Semitic, hatemonger bastard Lew Rockwell used the occasion to insult one of our Military’s finest leaders:

Did Petraeus fall asleep while talking to McCain at a phony hearing, or was it the weight of all the innocents he’s collaterally damaged on his conscience, or his killion “medals”? He claims he was water deprived, just like his prisoners in the camps. BTW, look for this man on a pale horse to run for president as a Republican.

You know, I am quite known for my controversial comments too. It is time I started doing that sort of a thing again here. Here is hoping the Lew Rockwell is found dead, face down in a pool of his own blood — from a Brain Aneurysm. America would be such a better place for it. Not to mention the Conservative/Libertarian world.

More leftest hate-mongering here. If only we could send them all off to camps to be reprogrammed.
