Seriously, Why do Conservatives embrace people like this?

I am sure that most of you have heard about the newest revelation about the Conservative movement’s newest prissy little hoe.

No, I am not talking about Ann Coulter; although she could most qualify for one as well. After all, she does have experience with F.B.I. agents, or so I am told. Amazing what a woman will do to get out of voter fraud charges.

I am referring to the slutty little darling of the Conservative movement, Carrie Prejean. She sure did play that victim card very well, didn’t she? Went on Hannity and claimed “Them mean ol’ Liberals are picking on me!” Admittedly, Perez Hilton was a bit of an ass, because of what Prejean said. But, there is a bit of an issue here.

The issue is this, Carrie Prejean has outed herself as nothing more than a typical white American Evangelical Christian — a damned hypocrite. Speaking of which; you want to know what the real kicker of this story is? When contacted by the media, Carrie Prejean’s Pastor of the so-called Church that she attends had this to say:

Carrie Prejean’s pastor isn’t willing to give up on his famous fallen beauty queen, after learning she made a graphic, solo sex tape.

Pastor Darren Carrington from The Rock Church in San Diego says, “Everyone is a work in progress,” adding everyone has “something we’re not proud of.”

Wow. Whatever happened to the days of “Being Churched?” Back in the days; when my Mother and Father were her age, and still to this day in most Fundamentalist Churches, If charges like these were brought up — She would have been marched in front of the Church and instructed to publicly repent or she would have been removed from the Church! There was No discipline here, No statement of “we will be having a meeting with Carrie to ask her to explain her behavior”.   Just “Live and learn.”  Unbelievable.  Oh, wait, the Evangelical Church mostly abandoned this practice long ago —– which most likely explains why it is in the condition it is in today. My bad.

The broader point that I am trying to make here is this here. If the Conservative movement is going to ever make any sort of real impression on the rest of America; they are simply going to have to stop embracing people, like Carrie, who have all these inconsistencies in their backgrounds. Further more, they need to stop embracing people, who are not always honest about who they are. The list is long, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin,  Joe the Plumber, Rush Limbaugh, and now — Carrie Prejean.

My biggest issue with this is that Carrie Prejean went out of her way to articulate her so-called “Conservative Christian” beliefs in a secular beauty pageant  and because of a liberal blowhard’s meltdown after the pageant; she became the newest persecuted little waif. The problem was that she was not exactly Phyllis Schlafly, when it came to her own personal morals. Which is quite typical of the Christian right and the Conservative movement for the past twenty years or so.

The problem is, and this has been said in the Conservative Blogosphere in some quarters; that the Conservative movement has no real authentic people anymore. Just two-bit hacks and phony people who lie about who they are, and how smart they are. William F. Buckley was an authentic brilliant man, who brought intellect to the Conservative movement. Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter and the rest are nothing more than two bit hacks who stumbled and bumbled their way through life and just happened to land jobs that made them what they are today.  Because of this, we have the Conservative movement that is in the shape it is today.

Bill O'Reilly's Talking Points: Why Obama should hire me

Yes, he did say that.

(H/T Comcast Video)

Now Honestly, does Bill O. really believe that the Obama Administration would take him up on the offer? I doubt it. But it does make for some lighthearted commentary…. and considering what we have had to report as of late; a little humor is okay.

Of course, the Liberals will not get this at all. They never do.

Two outta three ain't bad

I have held off blogging until the bitter end.

But…..

It’s time.

The Republican Party won big in New Jersey and in Virginia.

Hoffman? No so much.

Of course, the Little Green Screwballs are celebrating; king Chucky especially. They should, they slandered Hoffman enough.

Is there blame to be handed out? Oh sure; There is plenty. The dimwitted fools in the G.O.P. who picked a liberal dyke-looking dolt, who was more interested in connecting with the “Community”, than sticking up for TRUE Conservative principles.  Ol’ Newt Gingrich ought be blamed for being suckered into believing that fat bitch’s bogus lies and tall tales of Conservatism.

My friends, this is not a time to be sad. We should rejoice for the fact that we made our voices heard — loud and clear in Washington D.C. —- that President Barack Obama’s idea of open ended socialism is simply not going to stand.  New Jersey and Virginia’s wins mean that the tide is changing, America has realized the mistake of putting a Socialist, Neo-Liberal in the White House.  I predict a HUGE sea change in Congress come 2010 and maybe, possibly a stunning defeat to the Democrats come 2012. I could be wrong on that one; please, do not hold me to it.

Now for the part that I do not like having to write. The part where I have to answer the question; why did Hoffman lose? That is not a simple question to answer; because there is not one answer, but rather many answers. I wish I were paid to make these statements, but then it wouldn’t be a fun hobby, would it?

For starters, Hoffman was unknown, I had never heard of the guy before this race. Secondly, Hoffman entered the race after the other two had already started; the momentum had not had the time to build for a decisive win.  Thirdly; let us not fool ourselves folks, Hoffman was, before the Conservative Netroots go involved, was the spoiler in the race. If the Conservative bloggers had not got involved, Hoffman would be have been just another small time, independent candidate.  Fourthly; Let’s also be quite honest — the dude was a absolute geek.  He reminded me of someone that I gave a wedgie to in school. Frankly, the guy was not Ronald Reagan. He was more like the crazy guy, who tinkered out in his garage. He was like the guy, that everyone liked, but secretly; they really wondered about him privately.Which, to a point —- describes yours truly, but I digress.

One thing we should know, this is not a time to mourn. But a time to rejoice. We may have lost the small battle in NY-23. But we’ve won a much larger battle.

Robert Stacy McCain flips his cork

In public no less…:

UPDATE II: While I was working on the first update, about 10 p.m., the phone rang here at the National Desk in Watertown. It was Dave Weigel of the Washington Independent, asking about our plans for a bit of post-deadline socializing. And I freaking lost it.

Some of my friends may remember my newsroom blowup in 2007, when I cussed out Ken Hanner and kicked a steel door open on my way out of the Washington Times. Persuaded to reconsider, I eventually quit on good terms in January 2008.

OK, I’m hell on deadline. And my own shortcomings and sins are so glaringly obvious that it’s hard for me to blame anyone else for my problems. I goof off and procrastinate when opportunity affords. But when deadline hits, I get kind of crazy. So this was all my fault. Mea culpa.

Still, sometimes, I get that Rodney Dangerfield don’t-get-no-respect feeling and, under pressure, I can be even more of a total jerk than usual. Think of General Patton slapping that shell-shock case in Sicily.

So I had a screaming conniption. Impatient by nature, what I wanted to do at that moment in time was to finish the update, so that readers would have context in which to interpret the video. What I did not want to do was to answer the phone and have to think about the questions that Dave Weigel was asking about our post-deadline party plans.

Present at the time in the smoke-filled hotel room that is the National Desk were Ali Akbar, Kerry Picket and Hooah Mac. Surely, one of them would do me the favor of taking the phone and dealing with Weigel’s questions. Uh . . . no. Because nobody owes me any favors.

And I freaking lost it. At one point in the two-minute rant that ensued, I was quite literally frothing at the mouth. A lifetime of personal frustration exploded upon friends who were innocent. For this unseemly tantrum, I apologize to all who were forced to witness it. Mea culpa.

However, next time I ask someone to please answer the phone while I’m on deadline — I pray to God — just answer the phone. That Jekyll-and-Hyde horror show was more frightening to me than it was to you, my victims. My wife will bake you brownies to compensate, and will never let me live it down.

via The Other McCain: NY23: Hoffman is asked to react to Limbaugh’s Dede ‘bestiality’ comment.

You know, we really need to get that guy on the patch and maybe even some Prozac. It could only help. What? Why are you looking me like that for? I’m as calm as cucumber, the sharpest spoon in the drawer, The —- okay, I’ll stop while I’m ahead. 😉

Video: Keith Green – Asleep in the Light

Probably the greatest song recorded by one of the greatest voices in the Christian music world —-  the late Keith Green. I try not insert myself into these postings. Because I just do not feel that it is right; however here I feel an exception is needed. I believe if Christians were HALF as sincere and intense as this guy was. Christianity would be a much better place.

Last Days Ministries carries on the vision of Keith.

Lyrics:

Do you see, do you see, all the people sinking down,

Don’t you care, don’t you care, are you gonna let them drown,

How can you be so numb, not to care if they come,


You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done.

Oh Bless me Lord, bless me Lord, you know it’s all I ever hear,

No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear,


But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds, and He cares for your needs,

And you just lay back and keep soaking it in, oh, can’t you see it’s such sin?

Cause He brings people to your door,

And you turn them away, as you smile and say,

God bless you, be at peace, and all Heaven just weeps,


Cause Jesus came to your door, you’ve left Him out on the streets.

Open up, open up, and give yourself away,

You’ve seen the need, you hear the cry, so how can you delay,


God’s calling and you’re the one, but like Jonah you run,

He’s told you to speak, but you keep holding it in,

Oh, can’t you see it’s such sin?

The world is sleeping in the dark,

That the church can’t fight, cause it’s asleep in the light,


How can you be so dead, when you’ve been so well fed,

Jesus rose from the grave, and you, you can’t even get out of bed,

Oh, Jesus rose from the dead, come on, get out of your bed.


How can you be so numb, not to care if they come,

You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done,

You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done,

Don’t close your eyes, don’t pretend the job’s done.


Come away, come away, come away with Me, My love,

Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, My love.

Video: Glenn Beck rants about Purging The Republican Party Of Progressives

For the record, Glenn is ranting about this article by Frank Rich. The part that made me lean back in the chair and let out a belly laugh, was the crack about Republicans eating themselves. “Yep, This big old fatty has got plenty of room!” — Classic. I am quite the fatty myself and I loved that.

Anyhow, if Frank Rich and people like him freak out over this movement. What will they do come 2010 or even 2012 for that matter? 😮 😯 It is to truly wonder.

Update: I found the entire clip…:
