Well, to be quite honest with you all; I now regret that little adventure in stupidity. 🙄
I happen to go back and check the comments and I noticed the bile that was directed at me, in the comments section over there. Those people are as bad, if not worse, then some of the people at FreeRepublic or HotAir.com!
I assure you, I learned my lesson; again. 🙄 I had forgotten just how horrible those people really are; towards anyone of any stripe that happens to disagree with their narrow-minded vision of the World. I was also well reminded of the reasons why I simply threw up my hands and walked away from the Democratic Party —- for good.
I can tell you this; I needed that reminder — badly.
Now before anyone says it; I am not baiting those people at all! That was an honest attempt, my myself, to inject an alternative view, from a Conservative, to those people. The problem is, that those people over at that site, are living in an alternative universe or, at best, an alternative reality from the one that you and I live in!
The following from Cool Hand Luke from 1967 springs to mind:
Captain : “What we’ve got here is failure to communicate”
Captain : “Some men you just can’t reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it… well, he gets it. I don’t like it any more than you men.”
….and boy did I find that out last night. 😯
The reminder was a good one, indeed.
I will say this; getting my writings out to the masses is good for me. I love doing that — However, I am not into masochism at all. In other words, charging into a hall of unfriendly people towards me and saying “here I am!” is not my bag. I may be many things, but stupid is not one of them. I won’t be posting anything politically related there again. I assure you of that.
I leave you with this here. Politics now; is worse than it was, when President Bush was in office. At least then, people were at least civil to one another. Now, it’s all hate everyone that disagrees you, all the time. The right hates the left and left is just ate up with hatred of the right. It is a sad thing to watch. I dread to see what it is going to be like, when the left looses this election.
I guess I will just stay over here in my corner and leave the crazies to themselves. 😀
I did it and I am quite proud of it. Not like I get any kind of respect out of anyone on the right anyhow. Not that I really seek it; but when people go out of their to slander you, what the heck do you really honestly expect?
For the record, I do not agree with much of the political opinion over there. However, I did want to prove that not every Conservative runs around with his head up his rectal cavity. Just a good majority of them. 😉 😆 😀
So, there. I said it. The idiots who go around digging up dirt on me can put this one in their record too.
I saw this last night and I did not care to blog about it. But, for the sake of having something to blog about; I will.
Glenn Reynolds lost his credibility with me, when he posted this rather idiotic screed saying that he should resign because law enforcement came to the man’s house who produced the now infamous video. As much as I understand the concept of freedom of speech, and as much as I understand the fallout from it. Also, as much as I know President Obama’s handling of the situation was horrible and how bad it is that embassies had no Marine protection. The point is this: Obama did not create this entire mess at all. Obama did not shoot that video and he did not mock the Muslims; someone else did. In fact, it was a Coptic Christian with a bug up his rear about Muslims. This same Coptic Christian had audacity to attempt to pawn himself off as a Jewish person as well; which was, in the word of a well-known Jewish blogger, a blood libel.
Mister Rick “I am a Catholic Statist and I want everyone to believe just like I do” Santorum once again proves why he is unfit to serve in the office of President of the United States of America
Santorum also criticized the libertarian wing of the Republican party for not supporting what he sees as the pillars of conservatism: religion and family.
“When it comes to conservatism libertarian types can say, oh, well you know, we don’t want to talk about social issues,” Santorum said. “Without the church and the family, there is no conservative movement, there is no basic values of America.”
That above that I quoted is why Santorum will never be President of the United States at all. Rick Santorum wants to have a Christian version of Al-Qaeda in America. One that is intolerant of any other religions or lifestyles other than the one that he chooses to follow. This is why we have Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate for President of the United States.
Rick Santorum was so horrible when he was running for President that even some in the Conservative Blogosphere became annoyed by him. Not to mention that every time someone would criticize his religion or his social conservatism or say anything remotely critical of his family; he would really act like annoying jerk and come off with this smug papist attitude and belittle anyone who dared to criticize him.
Which is precisely why I am voting for Mitt Romney. Yes, I know, he is a Mormon and Yes, I know, I am a Independent, Fundamentalist, Baptist. Yes, I know, I disagree with the Mormonism, very much so. In fact, I reject it as a valid form of Christianity. However, the last time I checked; I was not voting for the President of the Mormon Church. I am, however, voting for the President of the United States of America. Mitt Romney is the Republican candidate for President and he has my vote. If for anything at all, to go against the anti-Mormon bigotry in this Country and the hate on the left. Plus too, I think Romney will help bring this Country back to the greatness that it once was known for, prior to the idiocy that is known as Barack Obama and the Democratic Party.
Furthermore, the last time I checked; Mitt Romney was not trying to to shove his Mormonism down anyone’s throat either, nor was he persecuting those who simply want to see fiscal sanity return to this Country. Unlike Santorum, who wants to see a “Christian America,” whatever that is; Romney simply wants to stop the runaway Government and stave off a fiscal crisis.
Despite my reservations about Romney being a Neoconservative. I too could be wrong about that too. I believe that honor might be solely Paul Ryan’s. However, I believe that Mitt Romney has his own mind and I do not believe that Romney will allow himself to be used by Israel or any other Country for that matter. If I am wrong about that, and Romney is elected and proceeds to pursue an agenda that puts Israel before America, that I will admit that I was wrong. Until then, I am hedging my bets.
My feeling is this; if Mitt Romney can pull this Nation at least half way back to what it was prior to the housing crisis and Wall Street crisis. If Romney can work to making it easier for Businesses and for those who want to start a small business; then he will done more than this current President.
About Santorum and with this I will conclude: Santorum needs to find a job with the Roman Catholic Church and get his nose out of politics. The Republican Party and the Conservative movement already has tried the social Conservative route; it was in the 1980’s and it was called the God and Country movement. A very wrong-headed movement, that, in the end, caused more problems for the Christian World than it ever solved. Because of this concentration on social issues, rather than fiscal ones, is why this Country of ours is headed for the fiscal cliff.
A few questions from a Non-Wilsonian Conservative:
Where was all this outrage when it was discovered that President George W. Bush invaded Iraq based upon bad information from Germany?
Does Malkin realize that the entire “Arab Spring” was started, when Bush invaded Iraq? Best thing that people like her can say in response is, “Blame Bush, Blame Bush….” Well, in this case, his blame is due.
Now, do not misunderstand me here. This is a huge blunder by the White House, and the fallout is getting worse by the minute. I mean, now severalChristian Colleges are now being threatened. However, I believe to pin the blame entirely on the Obama Administration is cheap political theater really.
As for Romney, I believe the media is making hay over that issue, a bit too much. But, he did jump the gun too quickly, I believe.
Furthermore, as a Non-Wilsonian Conservative, I say the following:
This is nothing more than living proof, that the United States of America needs to get the hell out of United Nations and order them out of this Country.
This is living proof that the United States needs to close these idiotic embassies in these Countries that are not necessarily friendly to the United States, and stop having American forces, of any sort, in those Countries.
This is proof that Islam is not a peaceful Religion or political philosophy, and as I wrote before, should be banned in the United States and those that practice it, should be given two choices; convert or leave.
This, if anything, should be proof that, as noted for a long time, by Anti-Jihadi bloggers for years; that the attacks on 9/11 were a declaration of a Religious War between the Judeo-Christian values of the west and of the United States and the backward Islāmic values of the middle east. These attacks this week are a continuation of that War. Now, if we do pull out, will that war stop? Most likely not. But, I believe that they will subside and the parties will begin fighting one another. Furthermore, if they attack the US on our soil, then we will have a legit excuse for War. Right now, we do not. We are in their lands.
In closing: I want it to be clear, this is not just a posting to knee-cap Michelle Malkin. But it is rather my personal take on what some on the right are saying about this whole thing. I realize it is an election year and all. But, we should not allow ourselves to be duped into blaming one person or President Administration for the events of the past week.
The truth is that what is happening now in the middle east is a result of many years of Wilsonian stupidity from many Presidential Administrations and an utter failure by many in Government that Islam is just incompatible with western values, constitutional freedoms and general social decency.
This is a very important lesson, and the quicker that those in our Government and Governments to come figure this out, the better things will be for this Country.
Three of the state’s top elected Republicans on Thursday determined they lacked sufficient evidence of President Barack Obama’s birth records to decide whether to remove the Democratic nominee from the November ballot in Kansas.
The State Objections Board comprised of Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer postponed until Monday action on a complaint filed by a Manhattan resident pending review of a copy of Obama’s birth certificate from Hawaii.
“I don’t think it’s a frivolous objection,” Kobach said. “I do think the factual record could be supplemented.”
Requests were to be sent to officials in Hawaii, Arizona and Mississippi in an attempt to secure copies of the president’s birth records. Obama released a copy of his birth certificate last year, but detractors persist in advancing “birther” arguments that the Democrat lacked standing.
Removal of Obama’s name in Kansas — a state certain to side with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney — would be strange given the president’s mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and maternal grandparents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham, were Kansas natives.
As much as I can sympathize with these people; we just do not need to run on this issue. Why? Because we do not need to. As it is right now, Obama’s record on the economy, the middle east and the Federal Reserve is enough to get him unseated in the fall. So, while this might be a legit issue for some; it just does not make sense to go this route at all.
Speaking of unneeded silliness; ElRushBo is yowling again:
What if Ayman al-Zawahiri and other al-Qaida leaders gave up Osama Bin Laden for the express purpose of making Obama look good? Giving Obama stature, political capital. Obama got Osama! I mean really, do you think al-Qaida depends on Osama Bin Laden any more, like it did?… So they give him him, they give away his location. We go in, SEAL Team 6, Obama puffs up… Keep him in power, furthers the cause… Do you think the militant Islamists will be as hopeful of getting rid of Israel with a Republican president or with a Democrat president? Just throwing it out there.
Oh Rush, is this really necessary? We are already whuppin’ the left’s butt right now, with all that is happening, that I listed above. Is it entirely necessary to go all stupid like this? I think not. While I realize that Limbaugh likes to be an operator in the arena of the absurd, I think this sort of absurdity does nothing for Mitt Romney and the Republican’s chances of winning the election in November. Yeah, I know the polls say and most of the time, they are not really accurate.
In Closing: Ya’ll ain’t helping at all; and please, cut it out. 🙄
The killings of the US ambassador to Libya and three of his staff were likely to have been the result of a serious and continuing security breach, The Independent can reveal.
American officials believe the attack was planned, but Chris Stevens had been back in the country only a short while and the details of his visit to Benghazi, where he and his staff died, were meant to be confidential.
The US administration is now facing a crisis in Libya. Sensitive documents have gone missing from the consulate in Benghazi and the supposedly secret location of the “safe house” in the city, where the staff had retreated, came under sustained mortar attack. Other such refuges across the country are no longer deemed “safe”.
Some of the missing papers from the consulate are said to list names of Libyans who are working with Americans, putting them potentially at risk from extremist groups, while some of the other documents are said to relate to oil contracts.
According to senior diplomatic sources, the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted, but no warnings were given for diplomats to go on high alert and “lockdown”, under which movement is severely restricted.
Of course, the Obama Administration is in denial mode, via The Politico:
The Obama administration is flatly denying a blaring British newspaper report that the U.S. diplomats in Libya were killed as a result of a “continuing security breach,” and that “credible information” about possible attacks had been ignored.
A U.S. official told POLITICO: “There’s no intelligence indicating that the attack in Benghazi was premeditated.”
[…]
Shawn Turner, spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, emailed: “This is absolutely wrong. We are not aware of any actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.”
Of course, the Independent story didn’t say that the Obama administration had “actionable intelligence indicating that an attack on the U.S. Mission in Benghazi was planned or imminent.” It said that “the US State Department had credible information 48 hours before mobs charged the consulate in Benghazi, and the embassy in Cairo, that American missions may be targeted,” but did nothing to step up security. The administration’s denial does not contradict the Independent’s statement, and the fact that the denial is phrased so narrowly suggests that the Independent’s report is, in fact, accurate.
[…]
So the Obama administration is already in cover-up mode. Note how willing administration spokesmen are to take absurd positions, secure in the knowledge that reporters will help them with their cover-up.
I can tell you this; the fallout from this is going to be great. I believe this little incident right here and the fact that embassy works were unguarded like this will be amplified during this election cycle and it might just cost Barack Obama the election. I realize Romney might not have handled the situation the greatest. But this here is nothing more than a dereliction of duty.
For once, I actually agree with Sarah Palin. I also agree with the fact that this bogus movie was not the cause of these attacks. These attacks were pre-planned and this movie just happened to be out there and it was used, by these terrorists, as a cover for their actions. The sad fact folks is this, the United States of America and more broadly; The West is involved in a Religious War, between Christianity and Islam. The people over at Gates of Vienna, Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, and Pamela Geller at Atlas Shrugs, and others have been covering this for a very long time. The sad truth is that those who point to these sites and just dismiss them as hatemongers are just willfully blind to the danger that Islam is for this Country. The Nation should have realized this after 9/11, but because we had a President who wanted to remain Islam-friendly; the truth was ignored.
Furthermore, as a Christian, allow me to say this; Islam is an intolerant Religion and should be totally outlawed in America. There are extremist Christians in America, there is no denying that. But the last time, I checked, they were not as well funded as these people are. (and before anybody mentions him, Timothy McVeigh was not a Christian! Nor was he well-funded…) This is not a Religion anyways, it is a political philosophy, intermingled with a fascist religion and should be eliminated from this Country. If you are offended at this, tough crap; because the facts are that there is no such thing as peaceful Muslim. There are Muslims who choose to fight Jihad, and there are those who refrain from it. Because of this, America will never be safe at all. Call me a bigot, call me a hater, call me an A-hole; I really do not care. But America is going to learn this lesson of what Islam really is, one way or another. It really is too bad that more people are going to have to die, before the United States Government gets a clue and finally wakes up to this threat.
As a compassionate human being, I hate to think that people would actually be so ate up with their religion that they would act in this manner. However, as a realist; I have to go with my gut feelings and with what I see and all I see is this that is happening.
The sick part is, the way this Nation is headed at the moment, we will most like be too darned broke to even deal with the situation much less even fight it. It is a depressing state of affairs, which is why I try to avoid writing about it, because it just makes me sad and depressed to watch it all happen.
There is my statement, quote me, if you wish. Please, just be aware of this here. Thanks.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The Federal Reserve announced plans to unleash more stimulus Thursday, in its third attempt at a controversial program to rev up the U.S. economy.
The policy, known as quantitative easing and often abbreviated as QE3, entails buying $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities each month. The end date remains up in the air, as the Fed will re-evaluate the strength of the economy in coming months.
The Fed is wasting no time. The purchases begin Friday and are expected to add up to only $23 billion for the remainder of September. The bond-buying policy “should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets, and help to make broader financial conditions more accommodative,” the Fed’s official statement said.
Meanwhile, the Fed will continue its existing policy known as Operation Twist. Together the two programs will add $85 billion in long-term bonds to the Fed’s balance sheet each month.
Now what effect will this have on our money supply?
Even less saving going on than is happening now. Why do the lending institutions need more liquidity? Because there are no real life loanable funds in the first place. No one is putting money in depository institutions, for example, because interest rates are at rock-bottom levels, but also because people have no excess money to save. So, the Fed is creating fake loanable funds through the purchase of the MBSs. Much of this will probably be newly-created money.
It will maintain the focus on consumer spending rather than investment. The idea is to keep people spending on real estate. Thus, less will be spent on business investment.
People will incur more debt.
We’ve heard for years from some incorrigible economists that what we need is the Fed to pump up the real estate market to get people spending again. Their answer is: more debt, more spending, less savings and investment.
This is what has been happening for years to no avail, of course, and the Fed is now just turning it up a notch. I’m sure recovery is right around the corner.
The definition of insanity/Keynesianism: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
A-farking-men. This is what happens, when you elect the same very idiots, who screwed the housing markets squarely into the ground. People that voted for this sort of Government, get exactly what is coming to them and the sort of Government that they voted for. Who the heck ever heard of printing money, that you do not even have to print? It is the textbook case of utter insanity.
I will say this; if Mitt Romney loses this election and the way recent events have turned out, he just might lose —- and this Nation goes into the crapper, because Conservatives and the Republican Party decided to pick a safe candidate. Then the Republican Party should be shut down for good and a new Conservative Party formed. Others have said it, I know and they are absolutely correct.
This stuff right here is the very reason why I hung it up with the Democratic Party and stopped voting for them and supporting them. I am not a millionaire or even someone with any sort of money at all. Hell, I have been unemployed for 8 damned years. However, I do know stupidity, when it see it; and it is on full display here. Only insane people would do stuff like this, and try to rev up the economy. The solution is to let the free-market work and do its job, not stick a statist finger in it.
Also too; as much as I am not a big fan of weaving ads into my blog postings. I believe this one is important. This would be a good time as any to get into Gold, Silver and other metals. I deal with two companies that sell the stuff. Their banners are below and they both come highly recommended.
They are:
and…:
Current Prices:
It would be absoutely insane not to get into at least some sort of Gold or other precious metal investment.
I remember seeing this news breaking early this morning, before I finally drifted off to sleep. I remember thinking to myself, “oh crap…” and thinking, here we go again, another situation in the middle east.
Meanwhile, an couple of Americans are dead today. Their bodies being drug through the streets in some God-forsaken Country. What does our President do? Act like some aloof jackass, who cannot be bothered with the situation. As for Romney, he takes advantage of the Situation and points out that this President’s foreign policy has been a utter failure. In response, the media tries to portray Mitt Romney as not ready for Prime time. A typical tactic that was used on John McCain as well. Not to mention the fact that the media is coordinating to try to tear down Romney in this election.
I could sit here and yowl on about this shows that America and Judeo-Christian Values are under attack by Islam and Muslims. However, I believe most of you, that read this blog already know this. Whatever the cause of these American Embassies being attacked, it is a tragic thing.
However, as a Non-Wilsonian Conservative, allow me to float this idea. Could this be a piece of living, in color, proof that the United States of America ought to just withdraw from these Countries and not have American Embassies in those Country? Perhaps that this is one of the signs that America needs to stop kowtowing down to the United Nations and stop trying to be the world’s policeman. Perhaps we should stop getting involved in the affairs of other Nations. Perhaps we should being to restrict our immigration polices more and stop allowing a free flow of Muslims into this Country.
Perhaps we as a Nation need to take a second look at the practice of Islam and how it is intolerant to other Religion and to criticism; and possibly pass laws banning the Religion in this Country, on grounds it is threat to Nation security. After all, this attack happened one day after the 11 year anniversary of the terrorist attacks in NYC and at the Pentagon, and Shakesville, Pa.
Again, is it wrong to ask such questions? I am not hating on any religion of any sort. I am looking at the protection of our Republic and all I really know, is that foreign citizens have killed Americans working abroad; this is unacceptable and something needs to be done. However, with the current leadership in the White House, nothing will be done, at all. Yes, I know, Military has been dispatched; at this point, that is nothing more than window dressing and buttocks covering by the White House. The truth is, that once again, leadership in the White House has failed us.
This is why we must vote differently, come November.
