Rick Santorum commits the worst political gaffe ever

First of all, before I get started here and before anyone comes into the comments section yelling at me. I really do not have a dog in this fight at all. I am not voting Republican this time around either in the general election. This is because I am of the opinion that NONE of these candidates really fit the bill of what I consider a small Government Conservative. Romney is a flip-flopper, a serial liar, and basically said that the big three should be allowed to fail; which pissed me, my family and a good part of Detroit off. Which explains why nobody showed up at his little event at Ford field. Rick Santorum is an anti-libertarian and, as all pro-lifers are, a big Government Statist and a Theocrat. Not to mention that Santorum and Gingrich are both Catholic, something of which I have some serious issues with; it is simply that I happen to know what the Roman Catholic Church did to my Baptist ancestors. I cannot and will not vote for someone who is Catholic. As for Ron Paul, while I can appreciate his stance of economic issues; I just cannot and will not support someone, in the general election, who is not supportive of Israel. Because of all this, I am voting libertarian in the general election. I am a principled voter, not a “go along to get along” voter.

Now that I have said all of that, let’s get to the gaffe already!

Here is the video via HotAir, in which AllahPundit almost caused a civil war! 😯

AllahPundit posted that last night with the following quote:

Faced with the reality that his chances have collapsed, the Sweater Vest begins to unravel…

Based on the comments, all 1,650 Comments of them; I have one thing to say to you Allahpundit — not to rip you off, but — Good Lord. 🙄 I thought I was a poop-stinky starter! I have nothing on AP man, nothing at all. 😀

Of course, this earned him a good smack down by Ed Morrissey, who is a Republican and a level headed Conservative. Ed offers this bit of advice to Santorum:

It seems that Senator Santorum has forgotten the purpose of the Republican primary. It’s to choose the most successful candidate to beat Obama in the general election. It isn’t to test a few candidates to see whether the goal of beating Obama is worth the bother.
And why do we need to beat Obama? The economic policies of this administration have been an utter disaster. The Senate won’t pass any budgets, not even the President’s, while he’s in the Oval Office. Energy prices are going through the roof thanks to the massive regulatory hurdles his administration has created to production and refining, especially on federal lands. An ObamaCare repeal will only happen if Obama is no longer President, assuming that the Supreme Court doesn’t throw the whole law out this summer.

I suggest you go read the rest of that; because I happen to be of the opinion that Ed is very much correct in his assessment.

Of course, Santorum issues a statement, of course, blaming Romney for the mess, which is quite stupid, because Romney did not make the gaffe — Santorum did. Idiots deluxe as always! 🙄

Here is the statement:

“I would never vote for Barack Obama over any Republican and to suggest otherwise is preposterous. This is just another attempt by the Romney Campaign to distort and distract the media and voters from the unshakeable fact that many of Romney’s policies mirror Barack Obama’s. I was simply making the point that there is a huge enthusiasm gap around Mitt Romney and it’s easy to see why – Romney has sided with Obama on healthcare mandates, cap-and-trade, and the Wall Street bailouts. Voters have to be excited enough to actually go vote, and my campaign’s movement to restore freedom is exciting this nation. If this election is about Obama versus the Obama-Lite candidate, we have a tough time rallying this nation. It’s time for bold vision, bold reforms and bold contrasts. This election is about more than Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, or Rick Santorum – this campaign is about freedom and I will fight to restore your freedoms.”

Why can’t the man just say, “oops. I blew it. I am sorry, will not happen again.” and be done with it? This is why I could not be a politician. Either that or even better, “Yes, I said it and I am proud of it!” Why this walk-back crap? It isn’t like Santorum is going to be the nominee anyhow. So, why do this? I just do not get it.

Either way, should it be any surprise that Romney is doing well in the polls now? You think it is bad here? Wait till the later polls come out, when this all has had to time to get to the public. I am think Santorum will be backing out soon here. Now, I am not saying that Santorum should back out; I am simply saying he might have suck his foot in his….political campaign.

The Lyrics: (H/T to Rap Genius)

[Hook]
I don’t, I don’t want no, Obama, Obama nation (abomination)
I’m not gonna, vote for your inauguration
Cause I don’t need your, Obama, Obama nation (abomination)
I’m not gonna

Limbaugh is a racist, Glenn Beck is a racist
Gaza strip was getting bombed, Obama didn’t say shit

[Verse 1 – M-1]
After you divorce yourself from the right wing
Propaganda campaign, it’s all simple and plain
America customed the game
Your president got an African name, now who you gone blame?
When they drop them bombs out of them planes
Using depleted uranium, babies looking like two headed aliens
Follow the money trail it leads to the criminal
Ain’t nothing subliminal to it, that’s how they do it
See they game they run, give a fuck if he’s cunning
Articulate and handsome, Afghanistan held for ransom
By the hand of this black man, neo-colonial puppet
White power with a black face, he said fuck it i’ll do it
A master of disguise, expert at telling lies
Then they gave him a Nobel Peace Price
Should of known he was trained in Chicago
Word to Chairmen Fred and Mark Clark
What they do in the dark will come out in the light
Like a WikiLeaks site
So I guess Nkrumah was right, who’s ready to fight?
Last stage of imperialism, I ain’t kiddin
In the immortal words of Marvin Gaye ‘This ain’t living’

O.B.A.M.A
You ain’t falling everyone I see the games you play
You was V.I.P. at the B.I.C
And we know that’s code name for C.I.A
The same way your cameras are watching us we’re watching you
Think we’re easy to control you ain’t got a clue
Revolutions on the way, let’s see what your gonna do
You gonna send the troops? You gonna drop the nukes?
See it’s not where you’re from it’s where you’re at
He’s sitting in the White House so who cares if he’s black
And why’s there still soldiers out there in Iraq?
Natural resources ain’t yours, its theirs give it back!
You’re just another puppet but I’m not surprised
Look at Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice
They didn’t change shit, house nigga’s fresh off the slave ship
You’ll all burn in hell even Michelle, Obama Nation

[Verse 3 – Lowkey]
Was the bigger threat from Osama or from Obama?
Military bases from Chagos to Okinawa
I say things that other rappers won’t say
Cause my mind never closed like Guantanamo Bay
Hope you didn’t build a statue or tattoo you arm
Cause the drones are still flying over Pashtunistan
Did he defend the war? No! He extended more
He even had the time to attempt a coup in Ecuador
Morales and Chavez, the state’s are on a hunt for ya
Military now stationed on bases in Columbia
Take a trip to the past and tell em I was right
Ask Ali Abunimah or Jeremiah Wright
Drones over Pakistan, Yemen and Libya
Is Obama the bomber getting ready for Syria?
First black president, the masses were hungry
But the same president just bombed an african country

I just wonder how long it will be, before this song and video disappear and the dudes who did it; are tossed in jail? I mean, because this a black President. Now, if it were Bush, they would say, “Oh, it’s art!” But Obama? I don’t think this will be around long at all.

No, President Barack Obama is not going to enact martial law

It is things like this here; that make me want to stop writing about politics. However, because I want try to stop mass PANIC! I will address this.

Now, about this order signed by the President on Friday. It is a big nothing burger. It has been around since the 1950’s and has been updated ever since. So, no, Obama is not going to impose martial law or a police state.

But, as usual, the usual suspects starting ringing alarm bells, either motivated by a genuine concern for the Country or maybe because we have a ~~black~~ socialist President — or both. Anyhow, they started hollering from the rooftops about this order. Now, let me say this; I am not calling everyone that wrote about this racists, okay? Admittedly, some of the writings are a bit paranoid. However, some of the actions of the President do give cause for everyone on the right to be on a hair trigger and a bit overly cautious.

People — Relax. The big-eared Democrat is doing something right for a change! Protecting the Republic, which is what America truly is; which happens to be a part of what Barack Obama’s duties are, as President of the United States. For this, he should be praised, not condemned. Again, more of that brain-stupidity that has invaded the Conservative movement and the Republican since 2008.

The MUST READ Blog postings on this are found at HotAir.com, Ace of Spades HQ and Legal Insurrection.

So, everyone chill out. Like Eugene Volokh said in his posting about this subject; if there was a power grab, it was made decades ago; most likely when President Obama was still riding his tricycle — and possibly long before that.

Just to be clear; I do not fault anyone, especially everyone on the right; for being watchful of the President, that is a good thing. However, in this cause, this is just routine Government stuff. Obama is just doing his job —- and for once, that is a good thing.

Also too, all the people above mean well; they just panicked over the language of the Executive Order.

Government Records $229 billion deficit for a month

Elections matter folks, this is why. Greece, here we come!

The U.S. government just notched its highest ever monthly deficit, with the red rink running to an estimated $229 billion in February.
The Congressional Budget Office, in a preliminary analysis, reported that the February 2012 deficit broke last year’s monthly record of $223 billion.
The office attributed the shortfall in part to a decline in revenue — mainly because of a $25 billion increase in income tax refunds thanks to disbursement timing issues.
According to the CBO, processing delays pushed refund payments that would have been distributed in January off into February. And the additional day in February this year allowed for extra refunds to be distributed during the month that otherwise would have been paid out in March.
The CBO projected that for the first five months of the fiscal year, the federal government is running a $578 billion deficit.
The projected deficit this year is once again projected to top $1 trillion
via Government Records Highest-ever Monthly Deficit | Fox News.

The only thing I can truly say about this one is this; elections matter. This is what happens when you put progressives and moderate Republicans in Government, they spend on your dime and you get stuck with the tab and most usually, you do not get a thing for it in return. This is why we have to get people elected to political office, in City, State and Federal levels; who at the very least, have the American people’s interests in mind and not their own political fortunes in mind. Because when the political veterans are running the show; both Republican and Democratic Parties; this is what you get —- Debt.

China cannot buy our debt forever, or eventually they will own this Country. Not to mention, China is not exactly a free Country. All China would have to do, is tell the United States that they will not be buy anymore of our debt and we, as a Nation, would be history. We, as Conservatives have no one to blame, but ourselves for this fine mess. The Republican Party elected a moderate Republican by the name of Richard Nixon, who wanted so badly to make a name for himself and that idiot liberal Republican just had to go to China and normalize relations with those Communist bastards. Which is pretty darned ironic, considering what the Communists in China did to John Birch. This is one Conservative who felt Watergate was nothing more than sweet justice. (…and No, I am NOT being snarky!)

This why we the American people, the silent majority; need to vote differently this coming November. Our Nation’s future might just depend on it.

Venezuela Government outlaws gun sales

I guess it is supposed to be a shock or surprise. But it is not really; I just wonder, and of course, it is obligatory —- is this coming to America?

Anyhow, Simon Black at businessinsider.com has the low-down and the analysis: (H/T InstaWeirdo)

In recent remarks to the Latin American Herald Tribune, Venezuelan Interior and Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami announced that the government will begin suspending firearm importation, effective this month. Furthermore, local gunsmiths will no longer be able to market or sell firearms and ammunition.
According to El Aissami, “As of March, every last gun shop remaining in Venezuela – and there are less than 80 – should be closed. That is to say, in Venezuela, the perverse chapter of the commercialization of firearms and munitions is over.”
That ought to fix the problem. Murderous criminals obviously have no means of acquiring firearms illegally. And hapless victims clearly prefer to defend themselves with soup spoons and Tae Bo lessons.

Also, The truth about Guns Blog adds the following and boy is he ever right:

Pretty much. But as bad as the murders are – and as predictable as gun confiscation is for any self-respecting paragon of the international left – using the murder rate as the cause for the gun grab is really just a fig leaf. Chavez isn’t long for this world. His apparatchiks know it and they appear to be clearing the decks to make it easier to handle any general unrest that could develop when the news finally comes that Pugsley’s assumed room temperature. It’s a lot easier mowing down a crowd of protestors when they’re not shooting back at you.

You see this stuff right here is causes me to drone on like an old man about the left. This here is what the far socialist left in this Country wants for the United States of America; and that is to revoke the second amendment in this Country. Because the far socialist left in this Country knows that as long as there is a second amendment of the United States constitution and the citizens of the United States are armed, a true socialist revolution cannot occur. This is why some Democrats have been working for many years to put more and stricter gun laws on the books.

Thankfully, because of some missteps in the past, most mainstream Democrats are not interested in fighting the battle of guns. Most notably was the outlawing of “assault rifles” in the 1990’s, a law that was about broad based as it can get. Thankfully, the Democrats learned their lesson on that little mistake, as they lost seats in both houses of Congress. However, I just do not trust this President at all and that is because his ear is tuned to the far left. Who is to say that some well-funded far left group would not start pressuring the White House to push for an outlawing of all guns in America? Thankfully, it has not happened yet, but who is to say that it would not happen?

To be fair to the Democrats, there is some establishment Republicans who would most likely support a banning of all firearms as well. Mainly it would be the moderate Republicans, who would argue that outlawing firearms would be for the so-called “greater good,” that the socialist left likes to tout as some sort of pseudo gospel of the socialist movement. Admittedly, I am not as far to the right as some of my friends are in the blogging world. However, when it comes to the second amendment and firearms, I am as far to the right as one can get. You see, I happen to believe that big Government Statism is an evil thing, no matter who is in charge of it. I like many of you; simply do not trust the Government at all. I know what they did to Randy Weaver; I know what they did to the Branch Davidians and I know just how the federal Government can screw up. This is why I advocate for an armed society.

My friends, being a gun advocate and supporting the second amendment is not Ron Paul craziness; that is simply Americanism at its finest.

Team Breitbart to release unedited Obama Video

This ought to be real interesting.

Earlier today, Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released “the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.”
The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright–about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours.
However, the video has been selectively edited–either by the Boston television station or by Buzzfeed itself. Over the course of the day, Breitbart.com will be releasing additional footage that has been hidden by Obama’s allies in the mainstream media and academia.
Breitbart.com Editor-in-Chief Joel Pollak and Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro will appear on The Sean Hannity Show to discuss the tape. The full tape will be released tonight on Fox News’ Hannity.

You can bet your sweet rear end that I will be watching this one. I just hope like heck that it is actually something and not another nothing burger, like this last one was. Sometimes a play, is just a play!

Update: Now a huge Memeorandum Thread.

‘You Get What You Deserve, White Boy’

You think only white people can be racist? You think that racial violence happens to blacks?

Think again. Here’s some video for you: (via the Blaze)

The story via blaze:

Police in Kansas City are investigating a possible hate crime after a 13-year-old boy was doused in gasoline and set on fire. According to Allen Goin’s mother, the attack occurred just as her son was getting home from school. She said, “They rushed him on the porch as he tried to get the door open…one of them poured gasoline, then flicked the Bic and said, ‘This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve white boy.’”
The police say the boy was engulfed in a “large fireball,” but was able to beat out the flames to call 911 and his father. In addition to suffering first degree burns, he has lost his eyebrows, eyelashes, and part of the skin on his face. There is also long-term concern about his eyes and lungs.
The family intends to move out of fear that the attackers went to their son’s school, which KMBC reports he will not return to. Melissa Coon, the boy’s mother, said her youngest son, 5, asked her, “Mom, am I going to get set on fire today?”
“I was in tears,” she said.

Now I am going to make something very clear here; I do not advocate any sort of racism or racial violence towards black people at all. In fact, I find the mentality of the white nationalists, skinheads, neo-Nazis and other sort of people to be deplorable. One cannot fight race hatred with race hated, because it is a sick mentality. However, I believe it is very important to point out that the liberal left in this Country or the progressive left, if you wish to call them that — are the ones who foster this sort of mentality of racial bigotry between the races. They have been doing it for years and it does not look like it is going to change anytime soon.

I also find it amazing that in the first video, nothing was said about race at all. In the second video, you see the mother use the term, “White Boy.” However, the suspect’s race was never brought up at all, in either news report; that is because the liberal left in this Country with their “Frankfort School of Political Correctness” tells these news outlets not to mention the race of the people who commit the crimes, especially if they are black. This is because it destroys the narrative that only white people, like me, commit racially based crimes and never blacks or Latinos. Again, this is the influence and the power that the radical left holds in this Country’s media; I know personally too well about it. My cousin Michael Hill was murdered by three corrupt black Detroit police officers in 1994. The details of his death were totally lied about to the media; did any media people both in investigate about how he really died? Not one media outlet would even cover it. This is because the cops were black and my cousin, who was only 24, was white.

This is why I run this blog; this is why I write with such fury about the progressive left. This is why I seem to have it out for the Democratic Party. Because they have ruined my Country, because they hate America and values we stand for. Because when they are not spewing racism from websites, or are demanding Americans to pay for their sexual adventures, then when their activists get mocked by the right, they demand we apologize — all the while, they mock Christians and citizens of the south, when they are not trying to murder our white children.

I am a White Conservative, I am a White Christian, I am Andrew Breitbart — and this is war. 😡

By the way, I am Andrew Breitbart, his spirit will be carried on and I will be exposing any and all racism and leftist bile that comes from that site. This is war against progressivism and your writer just fired the first shot.
Now you think about that, young lady.

You have been banned from commenting on MLive.com. Do not attempt to comment here again.

So, that is how the left deals with someone, like me, pointing out the racism that their writers hurl forth. They ban you from commenting on their sites. Not a problem; this will not stop me from writing about here and promoting my posts via twitter and other social media. Like I said in my correspondence with Jennifer at Mlive.com; this is war and I, in the spirit of Andrew Breitbart will fight these bastards until I have no more breath left in my body. This is progressivism in the most pure form, justified racism towards whites, because the horrible past in America. It is not what Martin Luther King Jr. fought for at all. This is making everything that the dear civil rights leader fought for a huge joke. The progressives have distorted his message to the point of making a mockery of it and I will expose these people for as along as I am able.

Again, this is war. We didn’t start it, they did and I intend to fight it to my dying breath.

Racism alive and well over at MLive.com: Exhibit A: Aaron Foley

Check out this article over at Mlive.com, where the writer, who is black, slams another writer who is white over at the News-Herald.

Let me simply pose this question to you all; if someone like me, had written this sort of article and worded in the fashion that he did; would I not be called a racist and lose my job? However, this person here, can bash a white woman, like this, without any sort of repercussions? This my friends is why Affirmative Action is such an evil thing. This is why we, as Conservatives, need to carry on in the tradition of Andrew Breitbart and expose these bastards for what they truly are. Which is what I intend on doing for a very long time to come.

By the way, Aaron Foley, (afoley@mlive.com) you are a racist tool, who should lose your job. I know your kind, and I am not talking about your skin color either, you racist fool. You are a part of the progressive left, and you happen to think that because you are a minority; that this somehow entitles you to spew racist bile from your little column that you write. Well, I am serving you notice sir. I am going to be watching that little column of yours and when I happen to spot something that I find to be overly racist; I am going to call you on it, every time I see it. Therefore, you best tighten that shit up, as the young people say. Because as of today, I am making you my personal bitch.

In addition, you can go onto that little column of yours, and piss, moan, and whine about how you are being oppressed by some white conservative blogger from the downriver area all you want to; I really do not care. Because being black does not entitle you to smear white people as you do. Your people want to be treated fairly, we do that, and you show your appreciation of that by writing racist bile like that? Not anymore, you will not. Because I intend on calling you, every time you publish racist bile like this.

Bank on it sir. Bank…on…it.
