Just my reaction to the video in this posting here.
Kerry Livgren was a founder of Kansas, in the 1980’s he was a part of a band called AD.
This is “The Fury” from AD’s album “Art of the State”.
Man, taking me back to my youth days in southwest Detroit. I used to jam this song all of the time.
*shakes head*
Sorry, got a little sentimental there. 😀

On one hand, I feel encouraged to see this in Commentary Magazine:
One should be careful about labeling people anti-Semites. There is a difference between someone who is merely critical of Israel like Beinart and, for example, liberal church groups that seek to promote BDS measures or to cut off military aid to the Jewish state and make common ground with open Jew-haters to promote this cause. Unfortunately that is a distinction that liberals like Beinart are prepared to ignore in order to score bogus political points against easy targets like Murdoch.
I think it is good that someone posted that little bit of clear thinking. However….
I seem to remember that this Magazine really let Ron Paul have it in a big way once. I wrote this once:
Update #3: Like clockwork, the mouthpiece of the biggest and most protected minority spews forth their bile towards Ron Paul. Question: What if someone, like me; spewed forth that sort of hate towards a Jewish Senator? I think you know the answer to that one.
I stand by that statement. The problem is that some of Commentary’s writers equate criticisms of Israel, The Likud Party, and Wilsonian Foreign Policy to be on par with Jewish hatred and support of the Holocaust and of Nazi Germany. It is an utterly bogus accusation and it is sad thing, when American Jews resort to such tactics. Furthermore, I find it very ironic that Commentary will bend over backwards to defend Murdoch, but they have no problem smearing Ron Paul. if Commentary Magazine is going to defend Rupert Murdoch from such accusations, they should not be so quick to toss them out against WASP’s like Ron Paul and myself and they should fire those who do.
I have been consistent in my feelings towards Wilsonian foreign policy, I reject it and I feel it is not good policy for America. I should not, neither should anyone else, like this guy here; be subjected to accusations of Antisemitism. Of course, like many others; because I am an American Nationalist, I have been called an anti-Semite, by fat broads, who work for Femi-Nazi, affirmative action Conservatives; and many other things too — including a racist. Which I find to be absolutely amusing. I am not a racist or an anti-Semite. I just do not kiss anyone’s Black, Latino, or Jewish ass. I hate to put it that way, but it is the truth about me.
This why reform is needed in this conservative movement once and for all. This people who engage in these sort of leftist tactics need to be exposed and thrown out of our party, once and for all — Especially in this blogosphere.
Also too, yes, I know what I wrote here. Yes, Ron Paul’s associations are troubling. However, I do not believe that Ron Paul himself ought to be treated the way that he is, by the Jewish right. Because condemning someone, for who they are associated with, is a tactic of the Frankfurt School of the political correctness; which is an institute of the left. Too bad that people like commentary magazine, and some in the Political Conservative Blogosphere — are simply continuing in that practice, supposedly after leaving the left.
Just my opinion.

Quoting Ed Morrissey:
Paul the Younger has always seemed to have a better grasp on reality than Paul the Elder, and so far has managed to shed the disturbing connections to the fringe that his father courted. I don’t think that Paul will have enough of a following by 2016 to make a serious run for the Presidency, but his talents might be better used in the Senate to build a conservative wing along with Jim DeMint that can stop the excesses of Washington and fight for fiscal sanity. The presidency will always be critical to that fight, but it can’t be won without having solid players in the legislative branch as well.
Paul is an element of the future of the Republican Party, and if he works wisely, he could be a driving force for a deeper commitment to limited government and large-scale reform. That would be good news for everyone.
I kind of agree with this, and kind of I do not. For one, Rand Paul does have some questionable ties; namely his Father for one. Two, he has made some questionable statements on the Constitution and the civil rights act of 1964. However, I do admire his stances of taxes and states rights when it comes to social issues, which is something I believe that really kneecapped the GOP in this election, especially seeing that they ran an establishment figure.
Again, I believe, like Ed, that Rand Paul would be better suited for Congress. I believe Rubio could make some headway for the GOP in 2016. Some might disagree and say that Rubio would pander to minorities. This might be the case, but seeing the changing demographic in this Country — we got to do something or risk fading into a regional party.
Just my opinion. 😀
Please note: This post is simply humor, nothing more, nothing less.
I write that for the Christians who read this blog; who are, for what it is worth, a little bit slow on the uptake. Kinda like this guy here.
Anyways… Every time I hear someone mention the word BEAST in the context of politics or, well, the United States. I think of this song:
I just ended up on the hit list of every Fundamentalist or as I like to call them, every Funny and Mentalist, in America. 😉
Update: Yes, I know about this here; it is what I was referring to. 😛
I wrote once before about this affirmative action Republican and now it seems that Allen West has decided to take his big bucket of chicken and go home, which is right where he belongs. That’s right I said that about you, jar-head West, sue me.
Politico reports:
Florida Rep. Allen West — the tea party pugilist and face of the class of House Republicans that stormed to power two years ago — conceded Tuesday to 29-year-old construction executive Patrick Murphy in one of the nation’s highest-profile congressional races.
After two weeks of battle with St. Lucie County elections officials — and a recount of early votes that wound up extending Murphy’s lead — West acknowledged that he couldn’t surmount his 1,904-vote, or 0.58 percent, deficit. That difference was just outside the 0.5 percent threshold to automatically trigger a recount of all votes.
So the brash conservative opted to bow out rather than wage a long and costly court battle he was unlikely to win.
“For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly. We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process,” West said in a statement to POLITICO. “While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.”
West congratulated Murphy, saying, “I pray he will serve his constituents with honor and integrity, and put the interests of our nation before his own.”
You mean, like when you put your own interests ahead of the people who elected you? Like, when you called members of the congressional black caucus communists? You mean, like when you broke the damned rules of engagement in Iraq, all so that you could look good supposedly save the lives of your fellow troops?
Sorry to say this sir; but you are nothing, but a goddamned disgrace to this Country, to the United States Military and to the political process in this damned Country! Furthermore, if there was any sort of decency in this Country or in the United States Military, you would cooling your heels in a Military prison in Leavenworth, Texas!
You seem to think that because you are black, and because you served in the United States Military; that somehow or another you are entitled to be in politics and are somehow or another special enough to represent this Country? You sir, deserve nothing at all, but scorn from this Nation. I happen to be a white conservative, who believes in rule of law and you sir did not uphold that principle, not only during your time in Iraq, but also during this election, where you got your little black butt kicked.
No, this is not about racism, not at all. Anyone that reads this blog, knows that I have nothing but disdain for this sort of stuff. What this is about, is me having a personal problem with someone, who used his Military credentials, despite the fact that he was a known law-breaker, to get public office. If it were not for the so-called Tea Party movement, and for the money of some rich white people in south Florida, who wanted a puppet in Congress. This guy would be shining shoes at the five and dime store.
Some of my long time readers and those who used to read my old blog, remember that I used to support this buffoon, when he ran for office and then after he was elected. Then, after he was elected, he started making these ridiculous statements to the media. This is when I knew that this man was not quite ready for prime-time. I regret any and all that I ever wrote in support of this guy. Because, quite franking, this idiot made the conservative movement look quite stupid.
Here is to sanity in south Florida and in Conservative politics. Congratulations to Patrick Murphy in a decisive win against a total buffoon.

Some of you might have noticed that new header image on the blog. This is not an accident, this is intentional and I intend to leave that image in place until the end of the warfare between the terrorist group Hamas, which occupies the territory known as the Gaza strip and the sovereign Nation of Israel.
I want it to publicly known, I am not a Jew, nor do I have any Jews in my family. However, I am a 30-year Christian — although, I admittedly am not very good at it, here as of late — but I digress. Because I am a Christian and I am quite familiar with the Word of God, that being the Holy Bible, more specifically the King James Version of the Holy Bible, that being the preserved Word of God for the English speaking people. I happen to know that Israel is God’s Land and that he promised it to his people, that being the children of Israel.
Let me say emphatically that there is absolutely no middle ground in this issue at all! Either you are on the side of God or on the side of Satan, Israel are God’s land and no amount of man denying that fact, or men denying the existence of a Holy and Righteous God will ever change that face. One cannot called themselves a blood washed son of the living God, that being Jesus Christ and have a Switzerland-like attitude towards Israel, Gaza and Palestine, it cannot be done and those who do it are in horrible sin against the Lord.
I have tried that stance and I now realize that I was very wrong for it. Because of this, I am putting my full-throated support behind Israel. The prosperity and freedom of this Nation is tied directly to the support and freedom of Israel. It is in the Bible and if the United States gives Israel the cold shoulder, I assure you all that this Nation will pay a horrible price, spiritually and economically.
I realize that some of the Conservatives out there may feel that I have become a neoconservative or a warmonger. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am still not a supporter of Wilsonian foreign policy and I do hope the United States to remain out of the conflict between these two Nations. I do hope that the United Nations or some other Country can stop the fighting and somehow convince Hamas that pursuing this course of madness against Israel is not wise one.
However, because I am very familiar with history and because I do know how Hamas does business — what will happen is this, Israel will disable Hams ability to fire weapons. Then, the United Nations or some Country will get more foreign aid to Hamas. Hamas will then turn around and use that money to acquire more weapons and fire them on Israel again. This is how it has worked for ages.
The correct solution is this; Israel needs to destroy Gaza, Hamas and the people in Gaza and if Palestine has a problem with it — destroy Palestine as well. However, Israel will not do this, Israel will continue to play this silly and quite idiotic “cat and mouse” game with Gaza and Palestine repeatedly. This will continue until the appearance of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who will go to war with the armies of the World at the battle of Armageddon, which is spoken of in the book of Revelation in the Bible.
In closing: To the believers in Christ, do not be troubled by any of this, as it is spoken of in the Bible. This battle is acceleration, of many, towards the day of the final showdown, between good and evil, which is spoken of in the Bible. We shall be victorious saints, as will Israel and Christ will reign in that Holy City Jerusalem once again!
