YES! Political experts see double digit losses for Democrats in 2010 elections!

This is such a good thing to hear…:

After an August recess marked by raucous town halls, troubling polling data and widespread anecdotal evidence of a volatile electorate, the small universe of political analysts who closely follow House races is predicting moderate to heavy Democratic losses in 2010.
Some of the most prominent and respected handicappers can now envision an election in which Democrats suffer double-digit losses in the House — not enough to provide the 40 seats necessary to return the GOP to power but enough to put them within striking distance.
Top political analyst Charlie Cook, in a special August 20 update to subscribers, wrote that “the situation this summer has slipped completely out of control for President Obama and congressional Democrats.”
“Many veteran congressional election watchers, including Democratic ones, report an eerie sense of déjà vu, with a consensus forming that the chances of Democratic losses going higher than 20 seats is just as good as the chances of Democratic losses going lower than 20 seats,” he wrote.
At the mid-August Netroots Nation convention, Nate Silver, a Democratic analyst whose uncannily accurate, stat-driven predictions have made his website FiveThirtyEight.com a must read among political junkies, predicted that Republicans will win between 20 and 50 seats next year. He further alarmed an audience of progressive activists by arguing that the GOP has between a 25 and 33 percent chance of winning back control of the House.

This reason why this is such a good thing is this; because of this, I believe that the Democrats will abandon the idea of Nationalized Healthcare. The reason why these numbers are so high is this; The Democrats, as I have written many times before, have overreached horribly after the 2008 election. They saw this economic crisis and the abject failure of the Bush Administration, as a chance to push through their progressive agenda. There was one thing, however, that the Democrats did not plan on; resistance. That would be the resistance from the 42% of Americans that voted for John McCain.

These number simply prove what I have believed all along. That not everyone in America is lockstep with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party; and their Identity Politics, Post Racial-Racialism, and the general Chicago style of politics that this Presidential Administration’s modus operandi.

For Republicans, this is their chance, put seeing their spokespersons are Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin. I do not expect much out of them; at least not in 2010.

Well, it is nice to know that the UAE has our backs… I think

Although, many people do not know this or do not want to hear it. But much of the financing for 9/11 came out of the UAE.

Anyhow, there’s this:

The United Arab Emirates has seized a ship carrying North Korean-manufactured munitions, detonators, explosives and rocket-propelled grenades bound for Iran in violation of United Nations sanctions, diplomats said.
The UAE two weeks ago notified the UN Security Council of the seizure, according to the diplomats, who spoke on condition they aren’t named because the communication hasn’t been made public. They said the ship, owned by an Australian subsidiary of a French company and sailing under a Bahamian flag, was carrying 10 containers of arms disguised as oil equipment.
The council committee that monitors enforcement of UN sanctions against North Korea wrote letters to Iran and the government in Pyongyang asking for explanations of the violation, and one to the UAE expressing appreciation for the cooperation, the envoys said. No response has been received and the UAE has unloaded the cargo, they said.
The UAE and Iranian missions to the UN didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. The Financial Times reported the weapons seizure earlier today.
via UAE Seizes North Korean Weapons Shipment to Iran (Update2) – Bloomberg.com.

This is what happens when you do the whole “Carrot and Stick” approach to countries like North Korea and Iran. They simply find ways to go around you. I really believe that the United Nations really needs to rethink their strategy with Iran. Because it is obvious to this Conservative writer, that Iran has no intention of abiding by the rules. I am not saying that it is time for war with Iran; not at all. At least not with our Country leading the charge. Because, in case anyone has not noticed, We are a bit occupied ourselves. I believe some of the other countries in that region need to step up and put a stop to this nonsense, once and for all.

Blackfive asks some very important questions:

Now this brings up all kinds of questions. How did the UAE find out? Did we know? Did we tell them? Inquiring minds want to know. Also how does this affect our global tyrant outreach project? Clenched? Unclenched? Hmmm

Those are some good questions. I would also like to know, who tipped off the Financial Times people? I also wonder, what will our feckless fearless leader’s next move will be? Because you know good and well that the Liberal base is not going to approve of him going into Iran or North Korea; even if Obama ordered a small support group to go in and assist any other countries that wanted to invade either Country, the base would totally turn on him. I mean, hell, the left is desperately wanting to pull us out of Afghanistan and Iraq; before the job is even done. They have been trying to do that for years. Do you think they would just sit idly by and allow President Obama to take us into another Military conflict? I do not think so. I mean, “Hope and Change” can only get a man so far. Especially when it comes to the very far left. I mean, they’re already calling Obama a fascist in some quarters of the left as it is already.

Either way this is going to be a very interesting development and it will be interesting to see how Obama handles the situation and it will be interesting to see how the far socialist/liberal Left reacts to Obama’s actions. I also would like to see what the Liberal Media’s reaction will be to this story and to how Obama reacts to it as well; will they be just as critical to Obama as they were Bush? or will they continue to give Obama the “free ride” that they have given him so far? It should be very interesting.

Rachel Lucus visits Auschwitz and Birkenau

This most likely one of Rachel’s best postings ever.

Memorable Quote:

Someone told me a few months ago that Auschwitz would be a life-changer for me, and they were right, but I would like to emphasize that it is a good change. In the six weeks since I was there, the majority of my previous petty concerns have stopped mattering to me, completely. I just stopped caring about a lot of things that were truly pointless. It has been a very surprising and welcome change. My experience of life is different, in a good way. Something about that day in that place made me realize that if I don’t enjoy and appreciate every single moment of my charmed and comfortable life, then I am an unforgivable ass.
I don’t say that lightly. It is a real thing. All of us who are able to write or read blogs, we have it easy by any measure and we are fools if we don’t actively appreciate every single morsel of freedom and plenty that we have.

Amen.

Next time a liberal tries to tell you that that communism is different, show them this

Take a listen:

That is none other than Democrat Rep. Diane Watson of California. The race-baiting bitch from hell.

Partial Transcript: (H/T Michelle Malkin)

WATSON: You might have heard their philosophical leader. I think his name is Rush Limbaugh. And he said early on, “I hope that he fails.”
Do you know what that means? If the president, your commander-in-chief, fails, America fails.
Now, when a senator says that this will be his Waterloo, and we all know what happened at Waterloo, then we have him and he fails. Do we want a failed state called the United States?
And remember: They are spreading fear and they are trying to see that the first president that looks likes me fails.
Now just understand what’s at the bottom line.
And you know we just got, 48 hours ago, we just go back, we were in Beijing, China, Hong Kong, China, we were in Taiwan, we were in Guam, we were all over the Far East.
I just want you to know: People look at the United States as a country that has changed its way and has elected someone from Kenya and Kansas, I’ll put it like that.
And they’re saying, “We thought you would never do that.”
So we don’t want to have this young man, and he just turned 48 — we want him to succeed, because when he succeeds, we regain our status. We regain our status.
It was just mentioned to me by our esteemed speaker, “Did anyone say anything about the Cuban health system?”
And lemme tell ya, before you say “Oh, it’s a commu–”, you need to go down there and see what Fidel Castro put in place. And I want you to know, now, you can think whatever you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met. [APPLAUSE]
And you know, the Cuban revolution that kicked out the wealthy, Che Guevara did that, and then, after they took over, they went out among the population to find someone who could lead this new nation, and they found…well, just leave it there (laughs), an attorney by the name of Fidel Castro…

Ugh… Liberals are such ugly cretins.

Video: Everything is made in China!

This guy contacted me via YouTube and wanted to be friends.

Once I saw his video, I totally understood why. 😀

If anything, this video is just funny because the guy just keeps breaking stuff with his baseball bat! 😆

The Video: (Mild Content Warning… Crazy swearing Hillbilly with a Baseball Bat!)

Nothing says America better than a Angry White American with a louisville slugger, a junk printer or two and a point.

Updated! It has started: Black Virginia Police Officer threatens to arrest White Man if he holds up Anti-Obama sign Officer Cheeks works for the SCHOOL and NOT the City Police!

…..and they said that this President would be post-racial… I call BS!

There is a word that comes to mind to describe this fat turd. But I will not utter it here.

I knew this was coming. I just knew it.

The one the really got me was the exchange of:

Man: “This is America!”

Black Cop: “It ain’t no more, okay?”

Folks, something is seriously wrong...

BIG HUGE UPDATE! EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS!

I contacted the Fairfield County Police in Virginia and I received this reply:

Jack Hunter makes a good point

At one point, I had written that I was not going to publish this man’s videos anymore; and I do not make a habit of it. His comment about our Military over on The American Conservative‘s Blog called “Post Right” was the end for me.

However, this video does make a good point and so, I will post it; with a comment at the end.

(Source)

I posted this, because I happen to agree with Jack’s stance on progressive policy on economics. But because I am “Fair and Balanced”, I will tell you, what others will not about the “Paleo-Conservative” or the “Taft” wing of the Republican Party as it is called by some. If it were left to these guys; such as Jack Hunter and his two hero-like personalities like Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul —- America would have never went to war with Germany, at all. Hitler would have allowed to exterminate the Jews. Something that I am told Pat Buchanan has said that he wished happened, when he was around some friends once; which goes back to the old school catholic hatred of the Jews and their religion. Further more, most people of the Paleo-Conservative strand believe that Abraham Lincoln was a traitor. Not only to the White Man; but also to the South for the way he conducted the Civil War. Which Jack claims was not about race. (Wink Wink) But rather about Centralized Government.

So, while Jack might be correct about his thesis on the economic policy; his association with the bigoted “Old Right” is to be noted and for this, I feel, his credentials are marred.

A Liberal Blog pokes me in the ribs

Ouch.

I got poked in the ribs by a liberal Blogger. It was partially my fault.

Let me explain.

Ed Morrissey made a very insightful observation about Blogs a while back. Basically Ed said that Blogs were a sketch of one’s thoughts. Which is true, this is basically where I come to vent my feelings and share, with you, my feelings about this Presidential Administration and give you my take on news of the day. An online dairy of my thoughts. My own personal bully pulpit. (Hey, Mom wanted a preacher…. She got me…. It wasn’t all bad. I think! 😮 )

There are times when I write something and I do so, with the assumption that everyone else, knows what the hell I am talking about or what I am thinking at that moment. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to what is happening inside my head. Consider this to be a good thing, there’s some terribly strange shit that goes on up there. 😉

This, was one of them times.

A Liberal Blog that is called “Just Another Blog from L.A.” has taken me to task for something I wrote. It was done in the typically sarcastic liberal manner. If I were one of them uppity Sean Hannity type of Conservatives, I would be ready to rip on this guy. But, seeing I am a bit more laid back than Sean. I am willing to concede that maybe I did not make myself clear.

On my posting about Ted Kennedy, I wrote the following:

He spoke loudly for the disabled, something that I can appreciate, as I am the nephew of a developmentally disabled aunt. (Also known as mentally retarded) The Democrats took up this cause; because the people that should have been taking their cause; that is the Church —— were too busy trying to make themselves more holy and righteous.

Well, Mr. M. Bouffant, did not like what I wrote, He quips:

Yes, let’s leave care of the disabled to “the Church.” (Catholic, we assume.) Because they’ve always done such a good job of that. See: Ireland. Or: Sexual abuses & cover-ups. The Catholic Church: Holy righteous accountability is our middle name.
Truly insane. Charity will cover anyone who can’t afford X hundred thousand dollars a yr. for care of the disabled? And the churches? That’s right, turn the schizophrenics over to the believers in fairies, who will no doubt proceed to scourge the devils right out of them. Medication? A good whipping will teach them not to see things that aren’t there.

First off, Mr. Bouffant assumes that I am a Catholic. If he would have bothered to read my About Me and F.A.Q. sections of my Blog; he would have known that I am not a Roman Catholic. Second of all, Mr. Bouffant’s anti-Christian rhetoric and attitude are duly noted. Although, he does have a point about the Roman Catholic Church’s scandals.

The problem is that, as I am known to do, at times; did not sketch out well enough, what it is that I was talking about. Partially, because I really was not interested in writing a novel and because, again, I was working within my own parameters and I assumed everyone else knew what I was talking about. Bad trait of mine; Oops, Sorry. It is not to say that I do not appreciate the criticism. I do! It keeps me on my toes and forces me to spell out what it is that I am trying to say.

Let me be clear, (Obama would overuse one of the better opening clarification statements out there… thanks Barry! You asshole. 😛 ) I am well aware that “The Church” is not capable of handling ALL of the needs of the developmentally disabled. Especially some of the more severe cases. I realize that some disabled people do need the care of medical professionals; Good God, I am not that daft. But I do believe that the Church could play a more active role in support. Key word there; Support. That support could come in many different forms. I was not referring to medical care, at all.

Again, my apologies to those who, like Mr. Bouffant, may have misunderstood what it is that I was trying to say. Next time, I guess I will have to spell out what I am trying to say, I little better. Least, I take another painful poke to the ribs. 😀

Liberals Tan Andrew Breitbart's Ass over his Twitter Stupidity

….and you know what? He deserves every god damned minute of it.

As I wrote on here last night my issues with Ted Kennedy were never personal, only of a political and policy nature. My postings always reflected that; I never took shots at him personally. I simply called him out, when I felt he was being dishonest. Of course, I did it in my traditionally condescending manner. Hey, I am a Conservative Blogger; condescension and being a general asshole are expected. But, I never made it personal. I have towards others in the past and I have deeply regretted it. This is why I follow a rule of conduct; attack the policy, not the person, mock gently, but know the line and never cross it.

Andrew Breitbart crossed it early Wednesday morning, when the news of Ted Kennedy’s passing hit. You can view and sampling of his rather idiotic and obnoxious nonsense by going Here, Here, Here, Here, Here, and Here. In fact, you can view this obnoxious idiot’s account by hovering over this link here.

Now some of you might be shocked and amazed that I would come out and condemn someone like Andrew for saying stuff like this. Well, allow me to explain as to why. I believe in freedom of speech; I really do. But, I also believe in responsibility of that freedom as well. Now, do I believe that the so-called “Thought Police” should scoop up Mr. BreitBart and send him off to a reeducation camp or something silly like that? Of course not. As a libertarian-minded Conservative; I believe in a free market approach to freedom of speech. I believe in letting the free market decide if it wants to be associated with obnoxious speech. If Andrew Breitbart wants to speak his mind about Ted Kennedy; fine, let him do so. But if someone is offended by his speech, they have the absolute right to lodge a complaint to Mr. Breitbart’s advertisers and inform them, that they do not intend to purchase their products, if they continue to sponsor this man’s website.

I believe it would be also fair to point out, that Mr. Breitbart did not use his website to express his opinion of Kennedy. He used the social network Twitter. Which is a very public service, unless you elect to make your updates private. Something that no one hardly ever does. But then again, not many people go around acting foolish like this either.

Again, In closing, I believe that Mr. BreitBart has the right to say what he wishes. That is the core ideal of freedom; however, Mr. Breitbart should be prepared to handle the criticism and the consequences, including the loss of advertisers; for expressing his opinions.

Senator Ted Kennedy has died

Yes, I know about it. I have been up all night trying to figure out what the hell I was going to say.

I am referring to the passing of Ted Kennedy.

He was a liberal, of whom his policies I disagreed with; most notably recently when he yowled on about how Health-care was a right of every American citizen. I disagreed then and still do disagree with that foolish damned philosophy. I called him on it, in my usual crass manner. This was done with the working assumption that the man would actually live. I had no idea that he was going to die. Besides that, I was calling the man on his politics, and was not intended to be knock on him personally. Anyone that does not see that difference, needs to get their head out of their damned ass.

He spoke loudly for the disabled, something that I can appreciate, as I am the nephew of a developmentally disabled aunt. (Also known as mentally retarded) The Democrats took up this cause; because the people that should have been taking their cause; that is the Church —— were too busy trying to make themselves more holy and righteous.

I will not lionize him, Mr. Kennedy will get enough of that here in the next few days; from the mainstream media. But I will NOT do the typical slash and burn that is commonly found on many of the Conservative Blogs. Those who do this are pure idiots, immature asinine pricks are they. I said this on twitter last night; which earned me some praise from a well-known tech blogger. How anyone can call themselves a damned Conservative and then turn right around and engage in the same damned behavior that the liberals engaged in when Tony Snow died, is well beyond the ability for this simple-minded writer to understand. I was under the damned impression that we Conservatives were supposed to be better than that. I guess some of our guys did not get the memo on that subject.

Hell, even Michelle Malkin, the biggest screeching yowler that there is, has tapered her remarks and is showing respect. What was it that Debbie Schlussel called her in a e-mail to me yesterday? Partisan and a fake? Hmmmm.. Perhaps Debbie should look in the mirror, because I see Debbie trashing and Michelle is not, at all. Weird how that works, is it not?

As for all the speculation as to what will this do to the health-care debate, that will come at a later date. For now, let us give the family the space to grieve for a loved one and the Nation, Liberals especially; to morn the loss of their Lion.

May Ted Rest in peace and may God rest his soul.
