Chick-Fil-A support day a success, Martinsberg, Va Chick-Fil-A gets bomb threat

Legal Insurrection, InstaPundit, and Twitchy are reporting that the Chick-Fil-A support event was a success.

But, there was a bomb threat at a Chick-Fil-A in Martinsberg, Va. The Martinsberg Journal reports:

MARTINSBURG – Police and fire crews closed down the Chick-fil-A on Foxcroft Avenue in Martinsburg for nearly three hours following a bomb threat that was called in just before 1 p.m. today.

The caller mentioned that a “device” had been placed within the restaurant. The building was evacuated, but was deemed safe at about 3:45 p.m. after no bomb or any other type of device was discovered.

Martinsburg City Police and the Martinsburg Fire Department personnel investigated the scene, along with Berkeley County Sheriff Kenny Lemaster. A National Park Ranger with a canine unit arrived at the scene at approximately 2:45 p.m. to assist, and a second from the West Virginia State Police arrived later as well.

According to a release from police, the location of the call was traced and the investigation is following up on leads about the male caller.

“We prosecute to the fullest extent that the law allows for anyone making these types of threats,” the release states.

Hmmmmm… Bomb threat….male voice… I wonder, was Ed Brayton home all day? I’m just sayin. 😯

I would have participated in this as well; but Chick-Fil-A does not have a location in my area. 🙁 So, I could not go show my support.

Once again, Dick Cheney is trying to start a civil war

First it was Iraq, now it is with the Palin supporters. Whew, ol’ boy can’t just say, “yeah, she’s okay.” Oh no, he’s just got to insult every darned Conservative feminist in America. 😯

The Video Via ABC:

Did you happen to hear a rather loud thud sound right after he said the words, “She was not ready?” That was George W. Bush passing out dead cold in the floor. I mean, the poor man has spent the last 3 years trying to build the library and what’s left of his legacy and reputation….and what does ol’ Darth Vader do? This.  Memo to Darth Cheney: YOU.ARE.NOT.HELPING….. 🙄

…and of course, Conservatives 4 Palin went into existential meltdown over this:

Apparently, Palin’s not “ready” to sit in an administration for eight years which adds 5 trillion dollars to our unpaid debt basically demoralizing the spirit of conservatism leading to four years of Barack Obama.  Cheney was “ready” for that, wasn’t he?

Palin’s not “ready” to engage in cronyism which dictates who she’d appoint to lifetime positions on the Supreme Court or to head federal emergency agencies like FEMA.  Bush & Cheney were “ready” for that, weren’t they?

Palin is “ready” to balance a budget – since she did it in Alaska.

Palin is “ready” to increase benefits for our esteemed elders while cutting out wasteful spending existing all across our federal government – since she did similar things in Alaska.

Palin is “ready” to call out entrenched special interests like she did when she served up a little justice to the Republican Party’s good old boys and their dealings with big oil.  She did that in Alaska, too.

Palin’s “ready” to unabashedly call out Barack Obama.  This includes pointing out his past associations, his reckless squandering of billions of our dollars to pay back his Wall Street friends (just as Bush/Cheney once did), and his plans to whip Americans into Greece-like big-government submission.   This is in contrast to the establishment’s plans to hold back.

Palin’s “ready” to endorse countless candidates for the Congress.  She’s been successful at using her enormous grassroots influence to pull a great deal of them across the finish line.

Palin’s not ready to fall in line with the establishment.  Until any candidate (including our perceived “front-runner”) demonstrates a full willingness to truly unify with the party’s grassroots, don’t count on her to make deals behind closed doors or hold high-priced fundraisers at her home.

Considering everything Bush & Company were “ready” for, it’s no wonder why Barack Obama was ever put in the position of becoming President of our great Republic.  Now of course, he must be fired.

But after observing the behavior of Cheney, Sununu, and other Romney surrogates, it might serve the interest of the American people to ask whether or not Romney is truly “ready” to do that considering the company he chooses to keep.

[…..]

Very disappointed in Dick Cheney, especially considering what he knows first hand about media and false narratives.

I’d also like to add some comments made….those who suggest Cheney has a right to his opinion and how we have to unite.  They need to only listen to their own advice.  Of course Cheney has a right to his opinion, but “uniting” involves telling the truth and judging one on the basis of their record and their conviction.  Nobody can claim to fighting for this country to the degree Sarah Palin has since 2008 and nobody can deny her record of accomplishment.  He frankly owes her an apology considering who our opponent is supposed to be.

You know that whole thing about “hell hath no fury”? Here it is.

Popcorn? Popcorn hell, this is dinner theater! 😛 😀 😆

 

Uncertainty at HotAir.com?

I saw the following over at HotAir.com. The topic is rather serious, AllahPundit’s take in it, was very funny.

Quote:

Via the Weekly Standard, I can’t decide if this is newsworthy or not. It’s like when O says he wants to close Gitmo. On the one hand: Hmmm! On the other hand: Meh. It’s not happening, so who cares?

I admit it, I let out a laugh, when I read it. Hmm! Meh and who cares? All in one posting! 😆

Pick a position please… Before the election, preferably!

Heh: Ron Paul sends reasonable message to followers

…and his followers have a little problem with it.

Go read

Check out the comments about the Neocons and “Banksters”.

Just an FYI: when they say Banksters and Neocons, Ron Paul followers usually mean Jews. Which is why I never liked the guy really. Too many of his followers are of the tin foil hat variety and just straight up haters.

Which is sad too; Ron Paul has some really great ideas. It’s just the crazies that drove people like me away.

The only thing that I can truly say is…..

After reading this and after reading this; is…

Wow.  Just….Wow.

Which is why I am so glad that I cut ties with the people mentioned in that first link. As for the second one; that guy makes me look like a saint.

I mean, I have my opinions and yes, I live in my Mom’s basement and all; but man — that guy takes it to whole new level.

I’ll tell you; I have been blogging since 2006; first as a skeptical left-of-center and then, as someone who moved further and further to the right, as time went on — I can tell you that I have never seen anything like this at all. This is what the right Blogosphere has become: A damned parody of its former self. A freak show. 😯

Which is why I tend to stay to myself, do my own thing and avoid the cliques.

It keeps me off the radar and out of trouble.

A funny, Blogger John Cole says:

If your head doesn’t hurt by the end of this, there is something wrong with you. The “swatting” style incidents are still horrible, but overall, it seems like this basically boils down to a lot of really self-important and obnoxious people who karmically and comically deserve each other. And if it keeps Malkin off Graeme Frost’s front porch, all the better.

That last part I underlined was what I thought was funny. I remember that, when it happened. I was still running “ThePopulistBlog.com” and by that time, I just was using my name for the blog. Anyhow, I remember that damned hit piece that Michelle Malkin wrote; with all of the Frost families personal information. I was pissed. So, I went Googling for Malkin’s address and I posted it on my blog. Turns out, she had not lived at that address in like two or three years. Which I found out from, of all persons, a liberal! Anyhow, I took it back down, because I did not want people going to some innocent person’s house.

Anyhow, it was up for like an half an hour. But, the way Malkin’s fan boy’s acted, It was her current address and it had been up for days. Malkin herself never said a word about it; but her fans and most of the blogosphere on the right did. Which is why, to this very day; I am considered “persona non grata” with the more hawkish Conservative blogs. All because of that. Also too, because I got into a little scape with another right blogger once, which they started and I took to another level. That one, I do regret, highly; mainly because the person named at said link’s dead wife got pulled into the mess, by me — by mistake. To my defense, I had zero clue who the woman is, I was out for revenge and her name was there. I had no idea that was the blog owner’s wife.

But the thing with Malkin, do I really regret that? That is a complicated answer. Do I regret defending the policy? Yes. I do. It was an expansion of Government, which means more money being spent; that I do regret. Do I regret going after Malkin? No, I don’t — at all. I find her tactics sickening. She got what was coming to her and my only real regret was not finding her real address.  Her blog is a cesspool of hate, bigotry and knee jerk stupidity. What cracks me up is, she claims to be a so-called Christian. She is, in fact, Roman Catholic; which further cements my opinion that Roman Catholics are not even remotely Christians.

That’s all, that is my claim to fame. If you really want to call it that. I wrote all that to basically say this; these people, that I just linked to; make me look like a freaking Amateur! (and I am too… no professional stuff here man… I’m still juggling the glass balls and trying to tap dance!)
