NYT's Timothy Egan takes Joe Wurzelbacher to the woodshed

First off, let me just say that I agree with the premise of this article. However, the way it was written and tone of the article, comes off sounding very high brow and elitist sounding. I am, of course, referring to the article written by NYT guest columnist Timothy Egan, who’s filling in for Moreen Dowd. I was going to quote some of that here. But I think I’ll just let you click the link on his name there and let you go read what was written. Here is my take on what was written:

While some of what was said was actually factually correct, Joe was not a licensed Journeyman Plumber in Ohio. He was, in fact, an apprentice. He never intended to buy the shop he worked for, because it was not even for sale. The information about the supposed tax violations, even if all that is true. How this information was gained, is what burns me. How is it, that the Liberals who have been whining and crying about the FISA Bill, are all too eager to dig up information about someone who happened to challenge Barack Obama on one of his polices.

In fact, I will make a direct accusation on this Blog. I believe, personally, that Barack Hussein Obama personally asked that political operatives within the Democratic Party, working in Governmental positions in Ohio to dig up information on “Joe The Plumber” in order to discredit him. I realize that this can never be proven, because nobody within the Democratic Party is going to go against “The One”.

So, the next time, some idiotic Liberal tries to tell you about Nixon and how evil he was, just tell them, Barack Obama did basically the same thing. Only difference is, he did not get caught.

Remembering Pearl Harbor – December 7, 1941

On This Day, 67 Years Ago

The Empire of Japan Launched an Attack on the United States Naval Base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Let us pause and remember…..

A Video that Shows just what happened: (via Pearl Harbor.org)

May God help this Country if we ever forget what happened on that dreadful and awful day. Let us always reflect on it and remember how the madness of Communism can lead to this. The Liberals should learn from this, but sadly they have embraced that terrible madness, in the form of Modern Day Liberalism, that is basically Communism-lite.

After the attack, A Brave President Addressed the Congress and The Nation:

That Speech, “The Day of Infamy” Speech:

War was declared:

and unlike today… We didn’t have spineless Liberals who do not love America. We had REAL Democrats who saw the Challenge and fought like blood hell and Won.

May the Spirit that was born at Pearl Harbor on this fateful day; never, ever fade away and die. Remember ’41 Always.

May God Rest Thier Souls.

Soldier's Daughter gets wish for Christmas

If this does not make you emotional or even a little dewy eyed. You don’t have a damn soul.

Story via WXII TV:

PILOT MOUNTAIN, N.C. — A woman and 2-year-old daughter welcomed home a sergeant Thursday night who had been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Kensley Penney said she promises this year she has been a good girl. She said she does just what grandma asks and kisses her special doll with her father’s picture every night.
“When we go to bed, we say prayers and ask Jesus to keep him safe,” Kensley’s grandmother, Patty Childress, said.
Kensley is hoping these good deeds will be enough for Santa Claus to give her the two special requests she has this Christmas.
“I asked her if she wanted a new doll or a stroller, and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ and then a week later she said, ‘I want a blue truck and my daddy,'” Childress said.
Her father, Sgt. Scottie Penney, has been serving in Afghanistan since March.
Penney’s wife, April, said it’s been hard for her, but that it’s been especially tough on Kensley.
Scottie Penney’s family worked very hard to keep him in his daughter’s life, even though he was thousands of miles away from home.
“There are pictures all over the house, and like I said, she has our daddy doll,” Childress said. “When she can, she gets on the Web cam with him and makes funny faces. She knows who daddy is.”
In fact, Kensley sleeps cuddled up with her father every night. His picture is on a special doll that her family said she takes everywhere.
Thursday night, Penney walked into Pine Hills Church in Pilot Mountain to surprise his daughter.
The moment was caught on camera.
Kensley waited patiently in her grandmother’s arms to tell Santa Claus her special Christmas wish Thursday night.
“I want my daddy,” Kensley told Santa.
Kensley even practiced a song for Santa Claus, hoping it will help get her wish granted.
Kensley’s constant singing must have paid off, because the Pine Hills Church Santa delivered her Christmas wish right in time for the holidays.
“It was pretty nice,” Scottie Penney said. “We have been planning this for some time. I had mixed emotions about how (Kensley) would react.”
The rest of the room burst out in tears when Kensley and her father reunited.
Scottie Penney said it was also a surprise for him and his wife to see the community supporting them.
“It was very emotional,” he said. “I didn’t see anyone who had a dry eye. It was so great to see the love and support of our community and people who care.”

You see, it is because of stuff like this right here. Is why I am a Libertarian Conservative Blogger, this is why I decided that the Democratic Party was not that Party that loves America, Respects it’s Military. I mean, you need look no further than Michelle Malkin’s Blog to see that.

….and while I am on it. These are the people that voted for that idiotic Communist NEGRO into the White House, them are HIS people.

(removed because bad language… I should not post when I am emotional.)

God Bless that little Blondie bundle of Joy. Especially on Christmas Day. 😀

From the "WTF?!?!?" File

Now this is a real “WTF?!?!” Story…..

First the Video: (Via Breit Bart)

The Story Via KREM:

For three days last week a dead bunny was seen hanging from the front yard of Bill Demers fence along the Palouse.
Nearby neighbors thought it was initially a sick prank; however, Demers told KREM 2 News reporter Marissa Bagg he has made a habit of shooting rabbits.
Several neighbors contacted KREM 2 last week complaining of Demers
Neighbors have contacted both the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department and the Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service, and both agencies have opened investigations into the incident.
“I don’t like killing animals, I do it to protect my property,” Demers said. Demers believes that hanging the dead bunny would deter other rabbits from coming onto his property.
He defended his position stating that the rabbits dig holes throughout his yard and ruin his crops and hay.
Neighbors say Demers’s latest stunt crossed the line, especially since many of the neighbors themselves have pets and his fence is along a school bus route.Demers said the hanging rabbit proved to be a deterrent for a while but the rabbits came back.
Finally, the night before Thanksgiving, someone in the area took the rabbit down without Demers’s permission.

Man…. This reeks to high heaven. There’s about 50 thousands thoughts going through my head right now.

Alfonzo on The "Declaration of Dependence"

An Excellent Video:

Now, towards of the end of this. He gets off into the weeds about the Unions. I’ll give him a pass on it. Because some of the stuff he says, I kind agree with. But he went overboard with the “They should gotten out from under them years ago…” I disgree with that crap. But the rest of the video is right on point.

Of course, if I was a real butt hole, I could say if it weren’t for the Democrats, his black ass would not have half the freedom that he has now. But to counter that, If it were not for Abe Lincoln, he would be still in chains. So, it evens out. 😀

Still I wish there were more black people, like Zo here who believed this way. But unfortunately most of them got sucked into that stupid socialist identity politics crap. Thanks to tools like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Good show Zo, as always man. 😀

Michelle Malkin goes….Cartoon?

Well, I knew she was short and some feel a little looney… (We’re tiny, we’re tooney, we’re all a little looney!)

Ahem. Anyhow… Michelle draws a line from Cartoons to the Bailouts. Well, the example is rather humorous. But when it comes to the 8.5 trillion bucks that the Government has been using to prop up everyone and their uncle. I was thinking somewhere along these lines here for a cartoon analogy:

Exit Question: Is Donald Duck your typical Democrat? I know Raaaaaacccist! 😉 😛

Uh…Hugh?

Replying to this Bunch of Drivel:

As I discussed with economic guru Brian Wesbury on tonight’s show, the GOP should demand a real concession as part of a quick deal to get Detroit cash. I think the price from the Dems should be a cut in the corporate tax rate for MI- and OH-headquartered businesses to Ireland’s 12.5%. As Wesbury said, it would spark a huge economic revival in the Wolverine and Buckeye states –just huge. And the teaching moment would be huge as well.
Detroit is going to get the money now or in February. So get something worth having, House and Senate GOP.

Uh, Hugh? Has anyone bothered to inform you that you all are in the minority in Congress? I mean, you all had your chance in 2003 till 2006 to stop the economic crisis and you sat around and did nothing. You ought to hope that “The One” does not force the desolving of the G.O.P. and outlaws Conservatism in General.

Somehow, I highly doubt at Tax decrease would even help. We’re in a recession, in case you didn’t know. Of course, being the wealthy radio star and all, I would not expect you to know this.

Thank You Michelle

I’ve criticized Michelle Malkin in times pasts, when I felt that she has went off the rails.

Today, is not going to be one of those days.

Michelle writes in her column today about the stupidity of the conspiracy theorists. One of them, as that morally depraved, Homosexual “So-Called” Conservative; Andrew Sullivan, who still, to this day, does not believe that Sarah Palin’s baby was hers. Another is a group of ignorant morons who are attempting to prove that President-Elect Barack Obama is not a true United States Citizen.

Both of these are rooted in one thing, and one thing only. Stupidity. I believe that people that are going after Obama for one reason and one reason only. Abject Racism.

…and before anyone brings up my photo in the sidebar. It is one thing to inform the Minorities that I do not believe in diversity. It is another to waste my tax dollars, to attempt to bring a lawsuit to the supreme court, that has absolutely no merit at all.

So, to Michelle; I say thank you. Thank You for bringing up what I have been saying for a while now. Some people just need to accept the fact that a BLACK MAN is going to be our next President and get over it and MOVE ON!

Further more, let me bring up another factoid. Many of you may have heard about the ridiculous e-mail that has been forwarded around, that Obama was a Muslim, and then the one that he was not a true citizen. Do you know where those ridiculous e-mails originated from? No? Well, I will tell you. They originated from a White Nationalist Forum called “Stormfront.” (Google it… I dare not send those turkeys traffic)

How I did know this was the case? Way back when those e-mails first started circulating. I took the first paragraph and entered it into google, guess which site came up first in the results? That’s right, Stormfront. When I brought this to light on my old blog, which was originally called “The Populist”. Someone must have brought it to the attention of “Stormfront’s” Management, because not too long after that, the entry disappeared, interestingly, it disappeared from Google’s cache too.

The really sick and sad part is this. Some idiot wrote an Op-Ed over at the Conservative Voice, which has since merged with Townhall, he took most, if not all, of the information from this e-mail; without citing his source, of course, and wrote this long editorial stating that Obama was a Muslim and not a United States Citizen.

My point is this, people point the finger of accusation of why John McCain lost this election. The only people that those within the G.O.P. should be blaming; is themselves and their own base.

Do not misunderstand me; I dislike the idea of Barack Obama being the President just as much as anyone else. But to delve into the arena of Conspiracy Theory and blatant stupidity does nothing to further the cause of Conservatism. It simply makes us look one way and one way only; Stupid!

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!

Thank You for your support

The Following was made by me. It is my feelings towards those who opposed and still oppose the help that the Detroit Auto Industry needs. It might cost me readers, but it is how I feel.

I declare this photo PUBLIC DOMAIN. Feel free to copy it and post it to your Blogs.

Update: I posted this for one reason and one reason alone, Washington D.C. will hand over 4 BILLION dollars to Wall Street banks and not even flinch, but when Detroit needs help, they are like “You need a plan.” I am not saying that the companies are not at fault. But it just strikes me as pretty damned funny that Wall St. Gets that help and Detroit gets told to go fuck themselves, in essence. So, Yeah, I’m a little pissed off and a bit jaded at this point. Can’t you tell??!
