The Beast?

Please note: This post is simply humor, nothing more, nothing less.

I write that for the Christians who read this blog; who are, for what it is worth, a little bit slow on the uptake. Kinda like this guy here.

Anyways… Every time I hear someone mention the word BEAST in the context of politics or, well, the United States. I think of this song:

I just ended up on the hit list of every Fundamentalist or as I like to call them, every Funny and Mentalist, in America. 😉

Update: Yes, I know about this here; it is what I was referring to. 😛

Allen West finally concedes to Patrick Murphy

I wrote once before about this affirmative action Republican and now it seems that Allen West has decided to take his big bucket of chicken and go home, which is right where he belongs.  That’s right I said that about you, jar-head West, sue me. 

Politico reports:

Florida Rep. Allen West — the tea party pugilist and face of the class of House Republicans that stormed to power two years ago — conceded Tuesday to 29-year-old construction executive Patrick Murphy in one of the nation’s highest-profile congressional races.

After two weeks of battle with St. Lucie County elections officials — and a recount of early votes that wound up extending Murphy’s lead — West acknowledged that he couldn’t surmount his 1,904-vote, or 0.58 percent, deficit. That difference was just outside the 0.5 percent threshold to automatically trigger a recount of all votes.

So the brash conservative opted to bow out rather than wage a long and costly court battle he was unlikely to win.

“For two weeks since Election Day, we have been working to ensure every vote is counted accurately and fairly. We have made progress towards that goal, thanks to the dedication of our supporters and their unrelenting efforts to protect the integrity of the democratic process,” West said in a statement to POLITICO. “While many questions remain unanswered, today I am announcing that I will take no further action to contest the outcome of this election.”

West congratulated Murphy, saying, “I pray he will serve his constituents with honor and integrity, and put the interests of our nation before his own.”

You mean, like when you put your own interests ahead of the people who elected you? Like, when you called members of the congressional black caucus communists? You mean, like when you broke the damned rules of engagement in Iraq, all so that you could look good supposedly save the lives of your fellow troops?

Sorry to say this sir; but you are nothing, but a goddamned disgrace to this Country, to the United States Military and to the political process in this damned Country! Furthermore, if there was any sort of decency in this Country or in the United States Military, you would cooling your heels in a Military prison in Leavenworth, Texas!

You seem to think that because you are black, and because you served in the United States Military; that somehow or another you are entitled to be in politics and are somehow or another special enough to represent this Country? You sir, deserve nothing at all, but scorn from this Nation. I happen to be a white conservative, who believes in rule of law and you sir did not uphold that principle, not only during your time in Iraq, but also during this election, where you got your little black butt kicked.

No, this is not about racism, not at all. Anyone that reads this blog, knows that I have nothing but disdain for this sort of stuff. What this is about, is me having a personal problem with someone, who used his Military credentials, despite the fact that he was a known law-breaker, to get public office. If it were not for the so-called Tea Party movement, and for the money of some rich white people in south Florida, who wanted a puppet in Congress. This guy would be shining shoes at the five and dime store.

Some of my long time readers and those who used to read my old blog, remember that I used to support this buffoon, when he ran for office and then after he was elected. Then, after he was elected, he started making these ridiculous statements to the media. This is when I knew that this man was not quite ready for prime-time. I regret any and all that I ever wrote in support of this guy. Because, quite franking, this idiot made the conservative movement look quite stupid.

Here is to sanity in south Florida and in Conservative politics. Congratulations to Patrick Murphy in a decisive win against a total buffoon.

Audio: James Dobson asks, “Where have the GOP’s Values Gone?”

This is a question that I have asked myself.

The Story via WND.COM:

Dr. James Dobson

The 2012 election was an open door for the GOP to lead America back to its roots in faith and morality, and the Republicans were AWOL, says Dr. James Dobson, founder of Family Talk and a brand new political outreach arm called Family Talk Action.

“I waited throughout the campaign for Mitt Romney to declare himself, to at least identify with the moral issues that are before us. He would not touch them,” Dobson said on a two-part radio program in which Penny Nance, head of Concerned Women for America, joined.

Dobson, whose advice about parenting, child-rearing, marriage and faith has guided millions of Americans and whose counsel on family matters has been sought by presidents, used two programs on his regular radio program, “Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk” that were sponsored by his political action branch to comment on the re-election of Barack Obama.

He noted he and a handful of other conservative leaders, including Tony Perkins of Family Research Council, Gary Bauer and Gen. William Boykin, had met with the GOP candidate to encourage him to address social issues important to Christians across the nation.

“We begged him to deal with eight issues. We listed first the sanctity of life, marriage, religious life, ‘Don’t Ask,’ ENDA, on it went,” Dobson said. “We said we really are not here to jump on you, but evangelicals are not excited about your candidacy, not energized. … You could connect if you’ll even mention these things.

“He nodded and he smiled and he was gracious as he always is, and he went out and was silent,” Dobson said.

Dr. Dobson goes on to talk about how the Democrats have shifted on Abortion, Israel and many other topics. I here at this blog wrote about that little uprising myself. I have noticed one thing myself here; that Conservatives are saying that the keeping of the social platform in the Republican Party is going to be death knell for the Conservative movement.

I have one answer to that little idiotic notion — try winning elections without us folks. Fiscal conservatism is great, but without God, the Republican Party, much less the conservative movement will never survive.  Again, what good is telling people that rights come, not from the Government — but from God, if you are not willing to stand for that God? It makes no sense and it will never work.

Mitt Romney’s downfall might have very well been his refusal to get tough on social issues. There is also too:  Mitt Romney was a Mormon and quite frankly, the rest of the Christian world does not consider Mormonism to be true Christianity. This stance in the evangelical Christian circles is softening a bit. However, in the fundamentalist Christian circles it is very strong, I know this to true fact myself.

I also would like to make the following observation: It is not lost on me why the Conservative movement is moving away from the social conservative side of things. This is left-overs from the Neoconservative, Jewish-controlled, GOP of the George W. Bush-era. It is well-known, that according some of the staffers that worked in the Bush White House that most Conservative Christians were seen by the Bush White House as useful idiots.  This could be why God allowed America to be attacked on 9/11. I mean, the Lord could have said, “Forsake me, eh? Well, how do you like this?” and we were hit. I am just speculating. But it does make sense to me.

In contrast, the old school, Paleoconservatives are mostly known to be devote Christians who do take the Word of God; that is the Bible, literally. This is unlike President Bush, who admitted in a exit interview, that he did not take the Bible literally. You notice that President Bush did not admit that, until he was safely away from every being reelected.

In Closing: If the GOP continues down this path and rejects social Conservatism. It will go the way of the Whig Party. Because social Conservatives will not back a candidate that is not interested in being tough on social issues. It is just that simple. I do not believe that they will start their own political party; that has been tried before and failed. I simply believe that the conservative Christians will stay home.

This is something that the Republican Party and we as Conservative Americans cannot afford.

Shooting themselves in the foot

No, it is not the Republicans, not this time.

First check out this video via NBCNews.com, where a Republican and a Democrat actually agree on a bunch of things:

Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Did you watch the video? Sounds great and nice doesn’t it? Well, someone needs to give this woman the Memo:

Via the Hill, another Democratic Party instance of one hand, not knowing with the other is doing:

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) confirmed Thursday that she will seek the chairmanship of the Senate Budget Committee next year but told The Hill that she cannot commit to doing a budget.

This opens up the possibility that Senate Democrats will avoiding passing a budget resolution for the fourth year in a row.

The last time the Senate passed a standalone budget resolution was in 2009. This past year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said a budget was not necessary because the top-line spending number for appropriations was set in the August 2011 debt-ceiling deal.

Murray said that an agreement to avoid the “fiscal cliff,” the looming $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts set to strike in January, could preclude having to pass a Senate budget next year.

“I am committed to working with our committee and with our Congress to put a budget in place but there are a lot of questions in front of us: What happens in the next two weeks, six weeks, year? Does the White House and the leadership come together on some solution to the budget that we have right now that precludes a budget being written next year?” she said. “I have no idea.”

Honestly, how the heck hard is it to pass a budget? I mean, everyone else in America has to live on a budget? You do, I do, everyone does! But yet, the Democrats, who are supposed to be the enlightened ones, over us knuckle-dragging Conservatives (Chuckle, snicker, grin) — cannot even pass a simple budget? Unbelievable.

But yet, we the Conservatives are the stupid party; we are the ones who believe in fiscal restraint and happen to believe in budgets and responsibility. But yet, the Democrats cannot even manage to pass a budget. As some idiot troll, who came here to insult me said, “It’s a Obama world!” Yeah, it is a Obama world alright; and you idiot Democrats now own this mess, no more blaming it on your predecessors anymore. You own it, now stand at the helm and watch as America goes in the abyss and be proud of what you did.

The Weimar Republic would be proud — very proud.

Video: Bill O’Reilly on Mitt Romney’s loss

(via NewsMax TV)

Bill O’Reilly’s Books:

You can get the rest of Bill O’Reilly’s books at the Blog Bookstore, and a number of other great titles available there as well. Just as well, you can shop at Amazon for ALL of your Christmas shopping needs , doing so keep this blog running and it’s owner happy! Thanks in Advance!

Also too, for those that do not like Bill O’Reilly, especially you on the right. You should be grateful for Mr. O’Reilly. If it were not for him; I would be still rooting for the left. I started watching Bill’s show, I would catch the repeat of the O’Reilly Factor at 11:00P.M. locally here, after watching Keith Olbermann’s show. I really began to notice that much of what the left would say about him, was nothing more than spin. Thus, I began watching Fox News and stopped watching MSNBC and Keith’s show. As a result of that, and much else; I am not firmly in the Conservative camp. (and proud of it too!)

National Review is full of bovine excrement

Another one via Bill Quick, that I think deserves a little attention.

National Review basically blames the entire Conservative grassroots for Mitt Romney’s loss:

The first thing conservatives should understand about the electoral catastrophe that just befell us — and it was a catastrophe — is that any explanation of it that centers on Mitt Romney is mistaken.

To which Bill Quick responds:

Because Mittens Romneycare was my preferred choice, and the first thing conservatives need to understand is that it is impossible that I could be mistaken.

Heh. I have to laugh. Good one Bill. 😀

Anyhow, Yes, I know; I voted for Romney. Because I was not about to vote for that other jackass, who won. However, I did not think that Mitt Romney was perfect candidate. Anyone who did think that Romney was the perfect candidate was absolutely crazy. Just like Bill said, Romneycare was his biggest problem, because of that and possibly because of bit of religious bigotry; the voter turnout was low this time around.

Plus too; I just believe that since Bush has left office, many people have just tuned politics out. I honestly do not believe people really care anymore. Except for maybe the politico types, like me, like Bill and the rest of us, who happen to run blogs and are addicted to this stuff. The rest of America just does not care anymore. I also think that the majority of Americans believe that both parties are so corrupted, that they honestly figure that no matter who you vote for, they are going to be corrupt.

Can we honestly change that? Probably not. Experience tells this 40-year-old geezer that most people have that idea set in their heads, and nothing anyone does will change that.  The best thing that the Republican Establishment can do, is get off of the moderate, George W. Bush, Wilsonian stupidity and begin to embrace true Conservative values, and actually run someone who can win. Else, they can continue to get their tails kicked in the elections.

It is their choice, and hopefully, they make a wise one.
