Good Article on Michael Steele for G.O.P. Chair

Is found here

I will simply add this. I am not in favor of Michael Steele for G.O.P. Chair. We were beaten by “That one”. The LAST thing that the G.O.P. needs is “One of those”, to run “That Party”.

In other words, let’s not build a party by pandering to African-Americans or any other minority. God knows, they would not appreciate it anyways. Look at the civil rights act, African-Americans still act like slavery and Segregation exists.

If we want to rebuild the G.O.P., we need to expel the Podhartz’s and the Kristol’s and the rest of the Neo-Conservative, Pro-War, Pro-Bush Doctrine, former Liberal Democrat types, tell them to go start their own party….and get back to the old Conservative roots.

A good Party chair would be Pat Buchanan or someone of his caliber. Not another idiot Neo-Conservative. Neo-Conservatism is why the G.O.P. is where it is today. You’d think that someone, somewhere in the G.O.P would have figured this out.

Anyway, just my thoughts on the subject.

Charlie Rangel's Ethics

Oh boy…. Here we go again!

Via the Politico:

Between 2004 and 2007, Rep. Charles Rangel steered nearly $80,000 in campaign cash to an Internet company run by his son – paying lavishly for a pair of political Web sites so poorly designed an expert estimated one should have cost no more than $100 to create.

The payments are apparently legal under federal law, but their disclosure raises new questions about the Ways and Means chairman as he faces House ethics committee probes into his failure to pay taxes on rental income and his alleged use of House stationery to solicit contributions for a public policy center that bears his name.

Rangel’s leadership PAC and congressional committee shelled out $79,560 to Edisonian Innovative Works LLC for “websites,” according to Federal Election Commission filings.

Yes, but it is legal?

“This is probably legal but is definitely wrong,” said Meredith McGeehee of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit organization that monitors compliance with electoral law.

“You’re in a situation where you were given money for a campaign and it’s being used to enrich family members,” she added. “The return argument is they’re performing legitimate services. The question that needs to be asked in this case is: Was this a legitimate payment or was this a payoff?”

Rangel spokesman Emile Milne said Rangel’s son was a valuable member of the congressman’s re-election team and was paid a modest monthly retainer to build, maintain, update and publicize the site.

“Steven Rangel’s firm was paid roughly $2,500 on a monthly basis—less than the firm that had previously managed Congressman Rangel’s Web and on-line operation (Network Politics)—and the firm’s fees included money for Web advertising designed to promote traffic to the Web site,” Milne wrote in an e-mail message to Politico.

You know. I am going to just say this. This Representative  is on the ways and means committee. He is supposed to be a man of integrity. It is become very obvious that this man has no integrity and should resign his position as the chairman of the ways and means committee.

Of course, when you say something like this about an African-American Representative you are automatically panned as a raaaaciiiist! So, do not expect much to become of this. Because when you are black politician, especially a black Liberal politican, rules do not matter. But you always have that race card to play.

A sick and disgusting thing indeed. 😡

If you want to blame someone, blame President Johnson, if he would have kept his nose outta the business of the south, Rangel would not be in the House and maybe they would be some integrity on capital hill!

Bill O'Reilly sparks outrage over atheistic sign

Personally, If I were the Governor of Washington State, I would have put Bill O’Reilly’s home telephone number in the press release and encouraged people to call him, at all hours of the night. This would end this, real quick.

Comedy Gold Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen explains Herself

I’m sure you’ve heard about the infamous hang up. She’s now explaining herself, to a local Florida radio station. It is quite the rib tickling conversation.

It also seems that that the poor Representative now has some angry constituents, who think she did it on purpose.  Now that puts a whole new shine of this. I mean, she was a disbelieving dolt, but nobody believes she is a dolt.  There’s many a dolt who would love to have that problem!  😉

I would give a kidney to hear those calls! 😛 “I was an idiot!, “Uh-huh Sure you were!” Comedy Gold people…

Two Bloggers Retire

Some sad news to report. Two long time Bloggers are going into retirement. The other side of Kim and His Wife have given it up.

Which got me to thinking. Blogging is not a one sided conversation; at least it is not supposed to be.  I think one of the most tragic things I have done, is I have possibly chased people away from here. Because of my hard stance on the comments section. I say this because I noticed how much of a community that some of the more older Blogs have become.

So, as of today. I am making a change. As of today. I am shutting off the comment moderation.

What does that mean? Well…..

What it means is, that I will not have to approve every comment that comes through here.

Now, does that mean that you can come onto here and act like a spastic idiot and insult me and I will do nothing? Nope!

What it does mean is this. I am letting a bit more freedom around here. However, anarchy will not be allowed. I have a swear filter on here. I also will remove or edit stuff that I deem inappropriate for  my reading audience. I also will ban people who are presistant in breaking the comment rules, which are clearly posted in more than one place around here.

Anyhow, I wish nothing but the best for Kim and his wife. They’ve been Blogging since 2002. Wow. Such a long time, in computer and internet years.

Why am I killing the moderation? I figure if I lighten up around here a little, maybe people will be more inclined to hang around a little more. 😀

I mean, it can only help. 🙂

Interesting Political Debate

As you might know, I get a great deal of video from Breit Bart’s Video Website.  I also am signed up for his RSS feeds. I happen come across a video of a debate between John Ziegler and Nate Silver.

Here is the video of this most interesting back and forth:

Okay, here’s my impressions. First off John Zeigler’s phone audio was way much louder than Nate Silver’s. Which made hearing Nate harder. You would think an organization like Breit Bart TV would know how to use a computer EQ system or have a mixing board to evenly regulate sound from the Telephone.

Second of all, Zeigler comes off sounding like a arrogant prick, kinda like some smart assed drunk in a bar, that I once had to punch in the face  — long story there.  I can understand Zeigler not agreeing with Silver’s political idology, but to take a condescending tone with someone like that, is just totally unprofessional. I must say Nate Silver handled himself very well. If that would have been me, I would told Zeigler to go get bent and if he had a problem with it, I would have invited him to meet me somewhere and he would be needing some dental work, when I got done with him. 😡

Not only this, I do not buy the claim that he cannot release the unedited footage and make it available on the internet. He chooses not to.

More importantly is this. Honestly, who gives two flips about polls, really! I mean the election is over. Obama going to be President, Conservatives like Zeigler need to just accept it and move on.

For what it is worth; no, I do not buy that Breit Bart is neutral and that the Z-Cast is A-Political. They’re a Conservative website. Which promotes and portals videos to a particular audience.

Update: Yes, I know, the video auto plays. I checked the code, there is no way to change that. It’s lame, it sucks, but I can’t fix it. Sorry. 🙁

Oh Brother!

If Congress does not bail out the big three…. they’re raciiiiiiiiiist!

So says The Detroit’s Council of Baptist Pastors

Minority auto suppliers are being disproportionately hurt by the auto industry implosion, and that is devastating Detroit’s African-American communities, the city’s Council of Baptist Pastors said Tuesday.

At a news conference in Hamtramck, council President the Rev. Dr. Oscar King called on Congress to approve a loan package for Detroit automakers.

“This is not a gift. We are not asking for anything that is not ours,” King said of the federal loans for the Detroit Three. “Taxes go up to the federal government. We’re asking for a reasonable redistribution.”

Oh Brother. 🙄

Yeah, they won’t be able to buy no more fried chicken on Sunday. Poor babies. 😛

I mean, they got their black President, what the hell else do they want?

….and Make the UAW President as Auto Czar? You must be kidding.

Praising McCarthy?

It seems so.

Some gent by the name of Justin Raimondo over at Taki’s magazine is doing just this.

You see the problem with doing that is this. Joe McCarthy might have had some honest intentions; but he was an abusive person, because of his very bad drinking habit. Also, McCarthy was a bit of an opportunist as well.  Not to mention paranoid as can be.

Not to mention much of the damage he did to the G.O.P.

So, I will submit that I respectfully disagree with this man’s article.
