Team Army at Valour IT needs our Help!
I have not really promoted it that heavily; mainly because I have not really thought about it.
But your help is requested…
Here’s the e-mail that I received:
Subject: An Affront to All that is Good and Pure in the World

Team Marines is leading Team Army by a lousy few thousand dollars. This simply must not stand.
First, let me thank all of you who have posted on behalf of Team Army. Second, I apologize for the lack of commo and cooordination (blame my scout background) as I just received the email list yesterday and am recovering from the flu.
So, here are some assets to use in posting about Valour-IT for Team Army:

Little Green Screwballs attacks Hoffman
Not a very big surprise… But it’s news.
Looks like the libtards over at little green screwballs are having a hissy fit over the fact that Hoffman took the 9/12 pledge.
Which reminds me why I just LOVE the picture here:

The White House should run WordPress
Hey, it works good for me!
I guess the White House website is running Drupal (ugh!) and Chris Wilson over at Slate does not think that it is such a swell idea.
Chris Writes:
Drupal knows best. It’s not that Drupal thinks you’re evil. It just thinks you’re ignorant. In a basic setup, the software is suspicious of everything you try to do. Should you, say, go completely rogue and try to add some Javascript in the body of a page—a 14-year-old technology that controls interactive components like buttons—the platform will have none of it. The message: “That’s dangerous stuff, and you probably don’t know what you’re doing.” Better to outlaw something altogether, Drupal figures, than simply ask you if you really want to use it. If Drupal ran the Food and Drug Administration, it would ban high-fructose corn syrup. This is just the sort of straitjacketed paternalism that half the country is convinced the Democrats are hell-bent on imposing on us all.
Drupal is impenetrable. Even the software’s defenders admit that it is hostile to newcomers—or at least indifferent to their plight, as a University of Baltimore study found. The apologists will tell you that, once you scale the learning curve, it gets much easier. This is probably true, but a lot of ordinary, code-fearing people who just want a simple Web site are getting left behind. If Drupal were an employee of the federal government, it would be the person who answers the phone at Immigration and Customs Enforcement who is unable to help you and unable to tell you who can. If you suspect government is the problem, not the solution, this sort of bureaucratic sprawl is your worst enemy.
Drupal hates change. Want to modernize Drupal by upgrading to a newer version? Ask these guys how that worked out for them. If Drupal were a piece of legislation, it would be the farm bill: desperately in need of an overhaul but unlikely ever to get one because entrenched interests keep the forces of reform at bay.
Drupal is disorganized. Instead of displaying your pages in folders that you can browse, like you do on your personal computer, Drupal provides a nightmarish content list. To find what you’re looking for, you have to search for it. And unlike most content management systems, Drupal doesn’t have a convenient way to prevent two people from accidentally editing the same page at the same time. This is exactly the kind of rudderless confusion that small-government types have always said defines the federal government.
Drupal is righteous. The open-source movement has done wonderful things for the Web. But at its core, it remains a religion. If you went to DrupalCon in Paris last month, then you would have almost certainly come across proselytizers of one the movement’s fundamental tenets: Drupal doesn’t break Web sites. People with Drupal break Web sites. Most problems with Drupal stem from people who “don’t get it” or aren’t using it correctly. This is probably true, but it’s not much consolation when you spend 45 minutes trying to upload a photo. Drupal’s defenders are eerily reminiscent of those movement Democrats who were constantly knocking at your front door in the summer of 2008. Granted, they did get Obama elected, but it’s a miracle they didn’t cost him the election in the process.
Allow me to share with you all my little experience. Back before I wrote here on Political Byline. I used to be a “Left of Center” blogger. One day I got this wild hair up my butt about running a news site on Drupal; with my WordPress Blog in a sub-directory. How did it work out? To be blunt:
EPIC FAIL!
The pesky Russian hackers that had been sniffing around my blog, found their opening and they got it. To be very blunt; they farking hacked my crap to hell and back. A years worth of blogging, GONE in an instant. Nothing like a SQL Database injection hack to bring things in to perspective. I just about cried; and it was two days before Christmas no less.
Anyhow, after that; I said, no more Drupal and WordPress.
In fairness to the Drupal people, I did have some lousy hosting and I am not referring to the guy that was giving to me for free; it was the fault of the company that this guy buying from. (Hosting Scene) In techie terms; their MODSECURITY was much out of date. I know, OUCH! What I said, when it happened. I was not a happy camper. 😡
I am much pleased to report that I am, “Over the Moon” as they say with my current hosting provider. Which is EWF Media; who gets his reselling hosting from a neat company named Site 5. Site 5 basically does co-location with The Planet hosting; which is about the best darned hosting company on, well, The Planet! I highly recommend them, they are the best. If you are looking for excellent reseller hosting, go with EWF Media, he is so affordable. If you are looking to get a reseller account, go with Site 5, they are the best. (Now, watch my server go down after talking these guys up… HA!)
Anyhow, if the White House sees this, go with WordPress, you will be glad you did. It is truly, the bomb diggity.

Update: After I posted this last night and came back this morning, I realized that I forgot to mention why WordPress itself is so wonderful… So, without further ado; I present that reason. First here are some video as to why WordPress is so wonderful:

Updated: Living proof the Socialist Liberals are classless assholes
It seems that the Socialist Liberal Traitor Charles Foster Johnson is continuing his swirl down the drain.
Here are some links:
Charles Johnson attacks Governor Huckabee
(H/T R.S McCain for the e-mail)
Update: Hmmmmmm… Looks like said Blog is a Parody site.
Update #2: Reader Sally says that Jim Hoft is full of it…. and that is a fair point. Maybe Jim did jump the gun. You decide.
Glenn Beck interviews Doug Hoffman on his radio show
I realize that yesterday, I poo poo’ed Glenn for supposedly canceling Doug Hoffman’s appearance on his TV show. Of which I later found out has supposedly not Glenn’s fault, but was supposedly Hoffman’s campaign’s fault. Sorry, I never fully trust anything written by the corporate media.
However, this here, more than makes up for it. (H/T R.S. McCain)
Thank you Glenn, for standing up for us Americans. Thank you for having the brass balls to stand up to the Republican establishment.
We need more Glenn Beck types, we need more Ronald Reagan types, we need more William F. Buckley types. We need more voices that will be heard that say, “We will not allowed the socialists to steal our damned Country!”
One of those voices is Robert Stacey McCain; described as the Hunter S. Thompson of the Conservative Blogosphere. His Blog is a daily read of mine. McCain has been derided by some opportunist 9/11 Liberals as a White Supremacist. But that is nothing more abject balderdash. R.S. McCain is one of the best twenty first century contrarian writers. I highly recommend him to everyone.
Brain-Dead Socialist Liberal Science Blog attacks me
I hate getting into a tit for tat with other blogs. Because, quite frankly, it causes things to happen that one regrets later.
A few days ago, I left a rather tepid and crass comment at a science blog, that posted a video mocking Republicans.
Well, now they’re using that occasion to mock a newsletter that I posted to my blog.
Honestly, I do not feel that I have to explain myself to anyone at all.
But, because I do not want anyone being confused; I will. I wrote my rather angry comment there originally, because I thought it was pretty damned rude of someone to make a video mocking Republicans with, of all things, a damned iPhone. If someone on the right had made a video like that; highlighting the bad points of Socialist Liberal Democrats; stuff like Identity Politics, the systematic slaughter of unborn Babies, the promotion and enabling of the Homosexual Lifestyle, The denial of even the existence of a God, much less the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the list goes on and on…. —- the outrage would be deafening. But, because it is a Socialist Liberal attacking the right; well, that is perfectly fine! 🙄
For the record, that posting, as of right now, has sent me all of 16 referrals and 27 views of the said article that he refers to. Wow, some blog, I would figure there would be a good deal more than that.
What really makes me angry, is the fact that someone has basically threatened to pull Denial of Service attack on the site or even possibly mine. Which is such crap. David Cloud is not affiliated with this Blog, at all. Other than the fact that his writings have been something that I have been reading since about 2003. His writings are basically what led me to decide that my days in the Pentecostal Christian circles were over for good. But, yet, they are going to attack David Cloud’s site. Such class; but then again, we are talking about Godless Liberals.
Another thing that I believe that it is my responsibility to explain. Yes, I am a Christian, Yes, doctrinally, I am a Baptist. But I will be the first to tell you, I do not consider myself to be a shining example of either. In fact, I have not been in a Church since 2006; and I will be the first to tell you, that I have serious issues with the modern day Church. This especially applies to the Evangelical and Fundamentalist Churches. If these idiots had bothered to read my “About Me” and “F.A.Q” sections, they would have known this. But because they were eager to lob an insult, they went for this.
So, why did I post the Newsletter? Easy; Content. Usually if it is a slow day or if there is not many things to blog about in the political world, I will throw one of those newsletters in. Just to give a different perspective. But, I guess that must be unacceptable to the secular, God-Denying Atheists. Not that I really honestly care, because they do not run this Blog; I do. But, I guess it is to be expected to be mocked by people of that mental state, after all the Bible does say:
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. – (Psalms 14:1 KJV)
In fact, The Bible says it twice:
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. – (Psalms 53:1 KJV)
So, essentially, I consider this par for the course, when dealing with Godless Liberals.
But, to those who happened to read this blog, and read there. (If any) I apologize for my profanity. I should not have wrote it. I just get so angry when I see Socialist Liberals mocking a party that has done more good, than the Democratic Party has ever done. Further more, a party that still fights for America. Unlike the Terrorist appeasing Liberal Democrats.
I was strongly considering lobbing a “over the top” and wildly politically incorrect insult back, But because the Bible says the following:
Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. (Romans 12:17-21 KJV)
Seeing that this is the pattern that I am supposed to live my life by. I will simply answer this criticism and mocking with a solemn warning to those who mocked me:
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:12-15 KJV)
To those who deny the Lord Jesus Christ, The Bible and the two are intertwined:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1 KJV)
You should know; that the Lake of Fire is your final fate. I will not candy-coat it. It is the truth and all the denying in the world will not change it.
However, it does not need to be that way. As the Bible Says:
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:12-18 KJV)
and…..
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:8-13 KJV)
I will not preach, I just quote the truth; and that my friends is the truth. That is my reply.
Now, back to politics!
Socialist Liberals just cannot conceal their racist ways
I saw this and I was amazed…. 😯
For months now, I’ve resisted trying to equate Michael Steele with Sarah Palin — a Republican Party choice (a.k.a. token) to appease a certain demographic. Palin was to appeal to women voters. Steele was to be the public olive branch to people of color.
Looks like Juan Williams is not the only person getting pegged as a “House Negro” by the left.
Now, Michael Steele is being called the “Token Negro” by the lefty bloggers. Unbelievable.
I realize that some of the actions of Michael Steele may not be liked by some; the ghetto’ing of the G.O.P.’s website and some of his statements might be face-palm worthy. But I will call this for what it is; Racism.
Shame on the Progressive movement; this shows that the Democratic Party is headed back to its roots of racial intolerance. As if they were ever tolerant in the first place; believe me, I know. When I still was writing as a “Left of Center” blogger, I tried joining the Liberal Bloggers “Ad Hive”, on Blogads; because I rejected Homosexuality as immoral. So much for tolerance eh?

Gateway Pundit moves up to the big leagues!
Wow, I never thought I’d ever see this:
After several years of blogging I am finally leaving my blogspot location.
Google has made several significant updates over the years. It is a great user friendly software. For those of you who want to start a blog I would definitely recommend the blogspot experience.
I am moving this blog over to First Things website today. Some of you may recognize the website. The Anchoress has been blogging at First Things for over a year now.
via Gateway Pundit.
Congratulations to Jim on the move. Despite some of Jim’s Linking habits; I still consider his Blog to be one of the nicer blogs out there. I am sure that he will enjoy WordPress Software. I know I love it to death. SO much nicer than Blogger. 😀
Good Luck Jim! 😀
