Confirmed: Rudy Giuliani is an idiot

Ah, the old, “If you disagree with crony capitalism, you are not a true Conservative” trick.

Nice try Rudy. 🙄

I guess ol’ Rudy don’t like it that people, like me, have said, thanks, but, no thanks” to Mittens Willard.

The silly video:

The Story via Human Events:

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who ran for President in 2008 and dipped a toe in the waters of the 2012 contest, professed himself “shocked” by Newt Gingrich​’s attacks on Mitt Romney​’s private-sector career during a “Fox and Friends” appearance this morning.

Giuliani asked, “What the hell are you doing, Newt?  I expect this from Saul Alinsky!  This is what Saul Alinsky taught Barack Obama, and what you’re saying is part of the reason we’re in so much trouble right now.”

Giuliani broadened his criticism to include the attacks on Bain Capital launched by both Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry, who he described as “a very close friend of mine.”  “I’m shocked at what they’re doing,” said Giuliani.  “It’s ignorant and dumb.  It’s building something we should be fighting in America, ignorance of the economic system, playing on the dumbest, most ridiculous ideas about how you grow jobs.”  He characterized the attacks on Romney’s private sector career as “unfair and bad for the Republican Party.”

Giuliani said he has a “strong inclination for Newt.”  He has previously spoken highly of Gingrich as a candidate.  In a December 12 appearance on CNN, he spoke of Gingrich’s comeback in the polls and praised his “common touch,” saying “he’s able to talk to people… he comes from a poor family and understands poverty from that point of view.  He doesn’t come from the American elite, so it’s going to be hard to paint him that way.

So says the man, of whom his campaign strategy was a verb, a noun and the words “Nine Eleven.”  Considering what this dolt’s ethnic background is,  he must not mind seeing little people suffer, while mega-wealthy people like him make the money. Mussolini would be proud, very proud.

Update: Dan Riehl gets it:

Democrats must be rejoicing. I knew the GOP was stupid, but I never thought they were stupid enough to commit suicide in their own primary. The GOP is all but giving this election to Obama by accomplishing everything Democrats could hope to accomplish in the general election.

There will likely be little doubt come November, the GOP is completely out of touch with an extremely large faction of the working class, so out of touch that it can’t stop screaming it in headline after headline. Axelrod may, or may not be as genius, but he won’t need to be, now. His opposition is so stuck on stupid, the Republicans will be lucky if America puts them back in the white house for a decade. Hell, I can’t even stand them right now.

Way to go, you idiots.

Hear, Hear… I could not have put it better myself. 🙄

 

Memo to CAIR: Thou Doth Protest Too Much

Now this is unbelievable. A couple of Marines decided to treat a few dead Taliban terrorists to a good old fashioned “golden shower.

Here is the video:

Quoting CAIR:


“We condemn this apparent desecration of the dead as a violation of our nation’s military regulations and of international laws of war prohibiting such disgusting and immoral actions.

“If verified as authentic, the video shows behavior that is totally unbecoming of American military personnel and that could ultimately endanger other soldiers and civilians.

“We trust that this disturbing incident will be promptly investigated in a transparent manner and that appropriate actions will be taken based on the results of that investigation. Any guilty parties must be punished to the full extent allowed by the Uniform Code of Military Justice and by relevant American laws.”

Allow me, as a proud American who lived through, witnessed on live TV and had to deal with the depression of what happened on September 11, 2001 — to show you, just WHO these Marines were pissing on….

They pissing on people that did this:

So, to you CAIR, I have two words for you turban wearing pieces of human excrement:

Piss Off!

If anything at all, you should be glad that angry Americans, like me, are not going around to Mosques in America and dragging your sorry asses out in to the streets of America and shooting you in the heads. You have been very highly protected by the United States Government, despite the fact that your backward religion instructs your mindless followers to kill people that disagree with your beliefs. You should be very grateful for this and should keep your mouths shut.

Remember you bastards, you started this little war on freedom — we did not. We did not want it — you did, and when you suffer, you complain. Crybaby pukes, you start a war against freedom and when some of our guys get the upper hand, you cry. Wah, Wah Wah…. cry me a river. 🙄

This is one of the many reasons why I believe that in the interest of National Security; that the Religion backward crap of ISLAM should be BANNED in America. This is not about Religion Freedom, this is about National Security and these bastards are a threat to humanity!

…and before anyone says it. I know it was Al-Qaeda that hit us, not the Taliban. Same difference, terrorists are terrorists, Jihads are Jihads… Big whoop. 🙄

Open Thread: What do you think of the Gingrich Ad?

I seem to have stirred a bit of a discussion over on Reddit with my posting of that Gingrich Video.

Well, here is Mitt Romney’s response: (H/T HotAir.com)

Personally, I think the response is weak tea myself. But what do you think? Comments welcomed, this is an open thread, and I will not moderate at all — just keep it civil please, or at least try. 😉

They’re watching us: DHS is now monitoring Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and More.

Governments that watch their people, fear them:

(Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s command center routinely monitors dozens of popular websites, including Facebook, Twitter, Hulu, WikiLeaks and news and gossip sites including the Huffington Post and Drudge Report, according to a government document.

A “privacy compliance review” issued by DHS last November says that since at least June 2010, its national operations center has been operating a “Social Networking/Media Capability” which involves regular monitoring of “publicly available online forums, blogs, public websites and message boards.”

The purpose of the monitoring, says the government document, is to “collect information used in providing situational awareness and establishing a common operating picture.”

The document adds, using more plain language, that such monitoring is designed to help DHS and its numerous agencies, which include the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Emergency Management Agency, to manage government responses to such events as the 2010 earthquake and aftermath in Haiti and security and border control related to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.

A DHS official familiar with the monitoring program said that it was intended purely to enable command center officials to keep in touch with various Internet-era media so that they were aware of major, developing events to which the Department or its agencies might have to respond. — Homeland Security watches Twitter, social media | Reuters

I made reference to this in my previous posting. I had a video up there that could have been misinterpreated by some idiot Government zealot, so I canned it. I just do not want to take any chances. Either way, if they’re looking at the big sites, like HotAir.com; you can bet they will be looking at the smaller blogs too.  I guess they figure if they cannot pass SOPA/PIPA, they will just snoop on us anyhow.

Needless to say, I will not be shooting and posting anymore videos on this blog or anywhere else. I just don’t need the hassle. 😡

It is official: Mitt Romney just lost my support

To be fair, I really never did like the man anyhow. But this video? Brutal. As I say in my reaction video, Newt is not much better; but this — is just unacceptable to me.

Here is my video that I made seconds after watching the video:

(removed video due to this)

I wish Willard the best; but it’ll be a cold day in the devil’s hell, before this blogger will cast his lot for someone like that. 😡

(H/T HotAir)

Update:  If you are wondering. Yeah, I know what I wrote here; and I also updated that posting too. Holy moly was I ever wrong about Mitt Romney and what he did. 🙁  Talk about eating my words! 🙄

Update #2: (August 30, 2012) I have formally changed my mind and am now supporting Mitt Romney. There is a very good reason too, click here to find out why.

 

Glenn Beck blows his back out

Poor Glenn Beck; the man leaves Fox News, because he made Rupert Murdoch worried and give Roger Ailes heartburn. So, he goes and sets up his own network, moves it and himself to Texas and what happens?  He blows four (*) three disks in his back out…. Ouch.

Anyhow, here’s the short version:

…..and the loooong version, where they talk his back and a whole bunch of other stuff:

Exit comments: First of all, blowing out four (*) three disks in your back, by just bending over and touching a pencil? Oy. Note to self: get something to grab stuff on the floor. Second of all; in the short video the dude said that he did it, when he jumped on a table and Glenn himself said it was from bending over to get a pencil. Someone needs to get their story straight!

Exit Question: Really happened or publicity stunt? I mean, he did fake out a bunch of people before, by faking boiling frogs.  I’m just sayin’ ya’ll! 😀

Update: * = When I first posted this, I watched the video first — I thought he said four disks, he said three. Oops. 😳

 

Let’s stop SOPA/PIPA

When I first heard about this SOPA/PIPA bill, I really did not think much of it; in fact, my attitude was, “If you’re not doing anything illegal, you have zero to worry about!” Well, it seems that I was wrong about that.

Jane Wells over at WordPress.com has posted a video about the bill:

vimeo placeholder image

PROTECT IP / SOPA Breaks The Internet from Fight for the Future on Vimeo.

Quoting Jane:

You are an agent of change. Has anyone ever told you that? Well, I just did, and I meant it.

Normally we stay away from from politics here at the official WordPress project — having users from all over the globe that span the political spectrum is evidence that we are doing our job and democratizing publishing, and we don’t want to alienate any of our users no matter how much some of us may disagree with some of them personally. Today, I’m breaking our no-politics rule, because there’s something going on in U.S. politics right now that we need to make sure you know about and understand, because it affects us all.

Using WordPress to blog, to publish, to communicate things online that once upon a time would have been relegated to an unread private journal (or simply remained unspoken, uncreated, unshared) makes you a part of one of the biggest changes in modern history: the democratization of publishing and the independent web. Every time you click Publish, you are a part of that change, whether you are posting canny political insight or a cat that makes you LOL. How would you feel if the web stopped being so free and independent? I’m concerned freaked right the heck out about the bills that threaten to do this, and as a participant in one of the biggest changes in modern history, you should be, too.

You may have heard people talking/blogging/twittering about SOPA — the Stop Online Piracy Act. The recent SOPA-related boycott of GoDaddy was all over the news, with many people expressing their outrage over the possibilities of SOPA, but when I ask people about SOPA and its sister bill in the Senate, PIPA (Protect IP Act), many don’t really know what the bills propose, or what we stand to lose. If you are not freaked out by SOPA/PIPA, please: for the next four minutes, instead of checking Facebook statuses, seeing who mentioned you on Twitter, or watching the latest episode of Sherlock*, watch this video (by Fight for the Future).

Jane’s right, WordPress does steer clear of the politics, (Bare Naked Islam notwithstanding.) and when they’re publishing something like this here; it is important.

So, head on over, and let’s stop this one cold, as united Americans.

 

UPDATED! PLEASE READ!: Quote about President Barack Obama

Who said this?

“My question is, what legacy will he leave, having the opportunity to serve under such hugely dramatic circumstances and had such a huge impact on the universal state of things … how could he have had such a splendid opportunity to do more than most presidents would have ever been able to do, and he let that opportunity slip away from him.

I’m very cautious of the fact that those who think he has some second agenda and only if he could be given a second term for us to see the new light, new things will be revealed, new efforts will be made to take us to a place other than where we’ve been and where we languish. I just don’t trust that. I don’t believe that’s a safe way and accurate way to look at this scenario. If there was the kind of moral compass serving Barack Obama the way we hoped, the moral force would have helped him make choices, the absence of that force in his equations, that barometer to guide him when he has to make these decisions that are hugely complicated, he should have come to the table with the things that would have helped us in this moment of crisis.”

Hannity to Perry: You sound like the #OWS crowd!

I have to hand it to Hannity, when he is right, he is right. I wrote the same thing. Which means I actually agree with Sean Hannity! Horrors! 😯

Video: (Via Mediaite) (H/T to HotAir Headlines)

Money quote:

Perry began the segment attacking President Obama, but Hannity quickly shifted gears to the “very harsh words” Perry has had for Romney. “It almost sounds like Occupy Wall Street,” he noted, “it doesn’t sound like someone who is governing Texas as a conservative.”

“There is a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism,” Perry replied, adding that “venture capitalism we like; vulture capitalism, no.” He justified his attacks saying that “the fact of the matter is he’s going to have to face up to this at some time or another.” Hannity wasn’t satisfied with this answer, asking Perry whether he was saying “that Mitt Romney is a vulture capitalist, that he is unethical.” Perry specified that he thought what happened with two specific companies bought by Bain was “irresponsible,” and that “the folks in South Carolina agree with that.” Hannity replied that it was still “as severe as they can get” as far as attacks go, though Perry insisted there were places where Bain had “destroyed people’s lives.

Rick Perry, making the Democrats arguments for them. Nice Ricky….real nice… 🙄

Bombing in Iran kills Commerce Deputy of Iran’s Nuclear Enrichment Site

Hmmmmm:

The magnetic bomb which was planted by an unknown motorcyclist under the car of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan Behdast, a professor at Tehran’s technical university, also wounded two other Iranian nationals in Seyed Khandan neighborhood in Northern Tehran.

Ahmadi Roshan, 32, was a graduate of oil industry university and a deputy director of Natanz uranium enrichment facility for commercial affairs.

No more details have been revealed about the blast.— Fars News Agency :: Terrorists Kill Commerce Deputy of Iran’s Nuclear Enrichment Site

Mossad? CIA?  (sarcasm of course…)

It is to wonder.

Whomever it is…. keep it up!
