Well, it can’t be that bad. I haven’t been tossed yet, but then again, I did just sign up about 5 minutes ago.
I am contributing to "The Next Right". I am bringing my Paleo-Conservative/Libertarian/Constitutionalist voice to the joint. Hopefully, I won’t tick anyone off, well, maybe just a little. 
Anyhow, so, if you see my name over there, yes, that is really me. 
This is sick and totally disgusting…

Children in post-conflict areas are being abused by the very people drafted into such zones to help look after them, says Save the Children.
After research in Ivory Coast, southern Sudan and Haiti, the charity proposed an international watchdog be set up.
Save the Children said it had sacked three workers for breaching its codes, and called on others to do the same.
The three men were all dismissed in the past year for having had sex with girls aged 17 – which the charity said was a sackable offence even though not illegal. – Via the BBC’s Special reports
Here’s another good reason why the United Nations ought to be dissolved, or at least the United States should formally withdraw from. The very agency that was sent to help people, is harming them.
Isn’t this clean indication that it was a mistake to have the United Nations in the first place? It should be.
Terrible, Just terrible.
Is found right here.
Go on over and read it. I’m not quoting the nonsense over here. Those Neo-Conservative jackasses are still drinking the Kool-Aid of George W. Bush.
Those Morons need to read Chuck Baldwin’s latest article. But as I would expect, Chuck’s articles will be ignored by the Neo-Conservatives. Who want to run this Nation over a cliff into a war with Iran and the middle east, that will bankrupt this Nation and will cause the rest of Arab world to hate our guts.
We have our own selves to blame, we elected that Rockefeller Conservative, Big Government, Big Spending, Pro-War Conservative, and now we’re paying for it. The sad part is, the Republicans are either too dumb, or simply unwilling to stand up and say, "this is wrong!" I guess they have to protect their incomes.
Hopefully, someday, the American Conservative will wake up from their Neo-Conservative Kool-Aid stupor. Until they do, America will be stuck with the Liberalism of Barry and his friends.
This is a good thing….But!

The U.S. military said Sunday that the number of attacks by militants in the last week dropped to a level not seen in Iraq since March 2004.
About 300 violent incidents were recorded in the seven-day period that ended Friday, down from a weekly high of nearly 1,600 in mid-June last year, according to a chart provided by the military. – via LA TIMES
This is not a time to gloat, but rather a time to pray for the stability of that country. Because, quite frankly, it could all come ripping apart at any time. Not to sound like a critic or a negative person. But the security of that country is hanging by a thread.
I have seen the comments on the left, and yes, they have some valid points, but at least give it a chance. It is all those people in Iraq have.
I think everyone that believes in God should utter a prayer this week for the country of Iraq and our Brave men fighting there.
You know, stuff like this right here, makes me quite sad. 
Yes, that’s a harsh headline for this piece.
But I’ll ask you to forgive me because, as a Veteran, there isn’t a day on the calendar that causes my hatred — and I do indeed mean hatred — of George W. Bush to bubble over the top more than Memorial Day.
"On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who have laid down their lives in the cause of freedom, resolve that they will forever be remembered by a grateful Nation, and pray that our country may always prove worthy of the sacrifices they have made," reads Bush’s official Memorial Day proclamation, issued by the White House on Thursday.
The Chickenhawk-in Chief says a lot of things that make this Vet’s blood boil but stuff like saying that he prays "…that our country may always prove worthy of the sacrifices they have made" is almost vomit inducing. – Dead Troops Remembered By President Who Had Them Killed- (Via The Huffington Post)
Now unlike Jack Moss, AKA Macsmind, I won’t skewer this guy. I can see his anger and outrage over this War. The fact is, The United States did go into Iraq on bad intelligence. The United States was absolutely wrong as how the war would go. People like Bob have every right to be angry. Only people that feel that he doesn’t have a right to be angry or would say he is wrong are the Bush and Republican Party apologists, like Jack Moss.
I will be honest with you all, this type of seething anger is what is tearing this Nation apart. I do not believe that it has been this bad since Vietnam.
What America needs right now, is someone that will bring the American people back together, because whether you’re a Liberal, Conservative or a Libertarian/Constitutionalist like me, you are still an American. Whether we want to admit it or not, we are all in this together. The quicker we all figure that out, the better that this Nation will be for it.

Now this is quite interesting…
Why wasn’t Michael Isikoff’s investigative piece outlining the lobbying connections of Barack Obama’s lead strategist, David Axelrod, promoted in Newsweek’s Sunday e-mail to subscribers?
I’ve cropped the article descriptions from this list for purposes of formatting this post, but I have not removed any of the articles. Although Isikoff’s report appears in the same June 2 issue of Newsweek as the stories at right, it is nowhere to be found here. And it should be, especially considering that the first four articles listed are all generally pro-Obama in their tilt and three are explicitly framed as advice for candidate Obama. The other four articles cover minor issues such as Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and John McCain.
What happened? One slim possibility is that the article is online-only and thus not eligible for inclusion in a round-up of magazine stories. But this seems not to be the case, as the screen capture above indicates, Newsweek says it’s in the print edition. – Via Blog PI
I must say, I’ve suspected that the liberal media was in the tank for Obama, and this just confirms what I’ve thought all along.
It is pretty stinking bad, when Newsweek, which is owned by MSNBC, buries a story, so the Bloggers won’t get grab the story and run with it. This is the SAME network that allowed their resident liberal attack dog, Keith Olbermann to attack the damned President for trying to control the media, but yet, they do the same damn thing themselves. The hypocrisy of the Left is so vast, you could park the Pentagon, The White House AND the Capital Building in Washington DC in it.
Now maybe I will get lucky Keith Olbermann will name me worst person in the World for saying that about him, one can only hope, God knows I need the traffic for this Blog. Of course, if I honestly gave two flips what that lapdog for Media Matters for America and the DailyKos thought, I wouldn’t be writing this Blog, now would I? 
Seriously, I shouldn’t talk about Keith like that, 
I don’t disagree with everything Keith says. Some stuff I do agree with, especially the things about Bush and the Iraq War, and the Kool-Air drinking right. Some of the stuff, like him ripping on Armed Forces staff at the Pentagon, who are ALSO Soldiers. I don’t agree with. But for the most part, I know he means well. I just wish he’d learn to train the damn fire of that flame thrower at the right people, that’s all. (Which he does do, 95% of the time. It’s just that 5% that he gets wrong that annoys me.

So much for that idea eh?
Quote:
Former President Fidel Castro says Sen. Barack Obama’s plan to maintain Washington’s trade embargo against Cuba will cause hunger and suffering on the island.
In a column published Monday by government-run newspapers, Castro said Obama was "the most-advanced candidate in the presidential race," but noted that he has not dared to call for altering U.S. policy toward Cuba.
"Obama’s speech can be translated as a formula for hunger for the country," Castro wrote, referring to Obama’s remarks last week to the influential Cuban American National Foundation in Miami.
Obama said he would maintain the nearly fifty-year-old trade sanctions against Cuba as leverage to push for democratic change on the island. But he also vowed to ease restrictions on Cuban Americans traveling to Cuba and sending money to relatives.
He repeated his willingness to meet with Raul Castro, who in February succeeded his elder brother Fidel to become the nation’s first new leader in 49 years.
Castro said Obama’s proposals for letting well-off Cuban Americans help poorer relatives on the island amounted to "propaganda for consumerism and a way of life that is unsustainable."
He complained that Obama’s description of Cuba as "undemocratic" and "lacking in respect for liberty and human rights" was the same argument previous U.S. administrations "have used to justify their crimes against our homeland."- Via CNN
So much for all that "Hope Change, Change Hope" and new politics and all that other garbage that the Marxist Magic Negro likes to talk about eh?
Looks like ol’ Barry is going to have his work cut out for him and the ‘fierce urgency of now" is going to run smack dab into the "Realities of Today."
There are some things that you just cannot change, and a Country that is hardcore steeped into the Communism, is one of them. Of course, seeing he’s a Marxist as all, he might just be able to talk shop with Cubans.
Birds of a feather, flock together, I always say.
Heh.
I got to hand to the ol’ gal, she can really move.
This doesn’t however, excuse the stupid comment that she made. Not in my mind at least.
I still wish she’d just drop out and let history take it’s course.
But then again, we are talking about a Clinton here.
Anybody got a crying towel for this guy?
ABC News Political Radar Reports:
ABC News’ Sarah Amos reports: Former President Bill Clinton in South Dakota today delivered a harsh critique of how his wife has been treated during her presidential bid, telling the crowd that he has "never seen a candidate treated so disrespectfully just for running," and that, "she will win the general election if you nominate her. They’re just trying to make sure you don’t."
Clinton spent more than six minutes calmly discussing what he called a "frantic effort to push her out" of this race, saying that no one asked Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson or Gary Hart to end their presidential campaigns early.
Clinton also spoke against bullying superdelegates to make up their minds, saying, "I cant believe it. It is just frantic the way they are trying to push and pressure and bully all these superdelegates to come out. ‘Oh, this is so terrible: The people they want her. Oh, this is so terrible: She is winning the general election, and he is not. Oh my goodness, we have to cover this up.’"
I beg my readers, spare me a few minutes to step outside of my normal decorum and blast this idiotic jack-legged fool.
I sometimes, in the back caverns of my mind, wish that this man’s wife, WOULD win the Democrat Nomination, because if she does not, we are going to have to suffer through 4 to 6 years of listening to Bill Clinton monotonous whining about his wife unfairly losing the Democrat nomination. How she was unfairly treated because she was a woman, how the media singled her out, because she was married to him and on and on and on….
At this point, Bill Clinton is making, as much as I abhor her, Gloria Steinem look like a Catholic school girl! I mean, can’t this moronic tool just admit that his wife does not have the delegates to be nominated and just drop out and move the hell along and let the process take the proper course?
I am sorry Billy Jeff, but two breasts and a warm vagina does not entitle your wife to be President of the United States! I mean, we already have one idiot broad up in the Congress, The Speaker of the house; and what has she done? Nothing! I mean, the very minute she was elected, she backed down from her campaign promises!
I just believe that Bill Clinton needs to seriously look into getting over it, taking him and his idiotic wife and getting the hell OUT of the spotlight, before he causes irreparable damage to her political career and his legacy. (If they even had one to begin with…)
I’m Chuck Adkins and I endorse this message, fully!

News from the Libertarian National Committee:
The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr as its candidate for president for the 2008 election.
"I’m sure we will emerge here with the strongest ticket in the history of the Libertarian Party," Barr stated in his victory speech shortly after being selected as the Party’s nominee. "I want everybody to remember that we only have 163 days to win this election. We cannot waste one single day."
More than 650 Libertarian delegates met in Denver from May 22 till the 26 for the 2008 Libertarian National Convention. After six rounds of voting Sunday afternoon, Barr was selected as the Party’s presidential nominee.
"We’re proud to present to the American voters Bob Barr as our presidential nominee," says Libertarian Party spokesperson Andrew Davis. "While Republicans and Democrats will fight for their own power in November, Libertarians will fight for Americans. Bob Barr is one of the strongest candidates in the Party’s 37-year history, and we look for him to have an enormous impact in the 2008 race. Republicans and Democrats have good reason to fear a candidate like Barr, who refuses to accept the ‘business-as-usual’ attitude of the current political establishment. Americans want and need another choice, and that choice is Bob Barr."
I happened to watch the Libertarian convention, well, half of it anyhow… I did notice that there are some within the Libertarian Party that do not like Bob Barr, at all. I can see their point, Barr has been painted as a flip-flopper by some in the party, as he did change many of his positions after leaving congress.
Personally, I will not be voting for Barr, because I am voting for Chuck Baldwin, who is the Constitution Party’s Nominee for President of the United States. While I support about 95% of the positions of the Libertarian Party, I do not know Barr that well, and I am more closely aligned with the Constitution Party’s Platform.
However, out of respect of the Libertarian Party, I have placed a banner in my sidebar, promoting their candidate.
I wish Bob Barr the best in this election.
Update: There’s always a smart aleck liberal in the bunch.
