Hooray for Hollywood!

In yet more news from those classy liberals who are so much better than the rest of us ordinary folk, at the premier of "Undefeated" the beginning of the film was almost entirely celebretards such as Matt Damon saying things about Sarah Palin that would make Redd Foxx blush. Let's be clear on this, you cannot be a conservative woman in America. That makes you a traitor to the cause according to liberals. If that doesn't give you some idea of the bias, hatred, bigotry and irrationality of the left, nothing ever will. Presidential candidate Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R. MN) is receiving the same kind of treatment.

And Speaking of the Reasoned, Polite Left

Here is Keith Olbermann, proof that psychology is an appropriate field of study, ranting about Representative and Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann (R. MN) and making fun of FOX News personality Greta Van Susteren. (That's two separate links there, kiddies.) Oh, Keith, you're so droll! Wait, I meant you're a troll. And not the funny kind of troll.

Yet More of That Violence and Hatred From the Right

Once again, the left has demonstrated why they have to yell about violence and hatred from the right, as they seem to be almost universally the perpetrators. Radio and TV personality Glenn Beck (who technically says he's a libertarian, but I'd put him in the conservative/libertarian bracket) apparently offended a number of people by existing. Beck took his family to the park for a showing of an Alfred Hitchcock film and was verbally and physically assaulted. Mind you, the assault consisted of kicking a glass of wine onto his wife (who last I checked hasn't done anything to anyone), but that's still not acceptable behavior from normal human beings. Keith Olbermann is a lying piece of human trash, but I would never bother to verbally assault him for strolling around the French Quarter or relaxing at a concert in the park.

I encourage you to read the comments to that post and the Gawker link contained in it. There is a seething hatred in this country right now that disturbs me greatly. I just have seething sarcasm.

Presidential Update

Former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman announced his bid for President yesterday in front of the Statue of Liberty (doing a painful disservice to Ronald Reagan) yesterday. I was already dubious about Huntsman, President Obama's ambassador to China, but when Senate Majority Leader Harry Ried (D. NV) said he would favor Huntsman over Mitt Romney, and the fact that his family gave Ried's campaign $25,000.00 last year...well, that sealed the deal. Obviously, you won't see me supporting Huntsman much unless I'm forced to after the primaries.

In other news, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich continues his slow, painful, yet totally appropriate, demise. I posted before on my thoughts that Newt should have already resigned from the campaign. Apparently my opinion is shared by his campaign staff. First, his entire Iowa staff resigned. Then, yesterday, his fundraising staff resigned. I am guessing he'll be out by the second or third primary state, if not earlier.

So far, I'm rooting against Romney, Gingrich, and Huntsman. The rest of the field hasn't disappointed me as of this time and I'm looking forward to see if Representative Thaddeus McCotter (R. MI) throws his hat in the race. If nothing else, his appearances on "Red Eye" have shown that he is hilarious. Hell, he may even be funnier than me.

If Only Al Gore's Parents Had Access to Fertility Control

Former Vice President and windbag Al Gore has started talking population control. Don't fool yourselves, boys and girls, if you choose to have one child, he's going to be fine with that. If you choose to be Catholic and not use birth control or abort your babies, he's going to feel the need to step in and tell you how many you can have. I think as part of the President's laughable plan to double exports we should start by sending Gore to China. Permanently.

If at First You Don't Succeed, Fail, Fail Again

Groucho Marx became famous for such jokes as: a guy walks into a doctor's office and says, "Doc, it hurts when I lift this arm above my head", so the doctor says, "Then don't do that." I suggest you write your local democratic congressperson and ask if they get the joke. My guess is no. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke (you know, the guy who's printing money so fast it's becoming less valuable than toilet paper) admitted he has no idea why the economy is as bad as it is right now. That didn't stop him from saying that the government should keep on spending ludicrous amounts of money. Meanwhile, Democrat leaders called for new stimulus spending. This while the Congressional Budget Office, and remember, this is an organization that has to account for unicorns that shit golden rainbows if Congress factors that into a bill (which is slightly less ridiculous than saying the health care bill is going to save money), says the current pace of spending will cause the publicly held debt to swamp the overall economy.

I'm convinced now that Democrats that favor gun control due so because if they accidentally shot themselves in the foot, they would feel compelled to do it over and over again until the foot was gone.

He Was Misinformed About His Misinformation

Politifact decided to check Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show"'s claim that Fox News viewers are consistently the most misinformed media viewers. It appears that Mr. Stewart was misinformed. I especially like the last line of the third paragraph in the story: "Meanwhile, particular Fox shows - such as the O'Reilly Factor and Sean Hannity's show - actually score consistently well, occasionally even outpacing Stewart's own audience." That has to sting, considering Steven Colbert spun off of "The Daily Show" to spoof Bill O'Reilly and Fox generally.

Today's Recommended Reading

Ah, the wistful days of summer when it becomes so swelteringly hot in southern Louisiana that it is difficult to imagine breathing, much less thinking and then typing. Once again I have strayed from my posting habits and once again, I must return, as always, so that I can pour out my thoughts into what is essentially a diary with three to four regular readers who sneak into my room and pull it from my drawer on occasion to see what I have to say. In any case, I highly recommend this selection from F.A. Hayek, "Why I Am Not a Conservative". Not only does the piece give great insight to the difference between American and European notions of conservatism and liberalism, I think by implication it demonstrates how liberalism in America became co-opted by ideas of social democracy and torn away from its roots in individual liberty.

In any case, I'm back for now, expect more posts and more frequently.

Weiner: I Aceept Full Responsibility as Long as there are Absolutely No Consequences

Representative Anthony Weiner (D. NY) admitted to "sexting" with six women over a three year period and took full responsibility for the acts he had previously denied and blamed on a hacker. Weiner then emphatically stated he would not resign. So, effectively, by taking full responsibility, Weiner didn't do anything. Luckily, as a liberal, Weiner was not being a hypocrite, because to liberals, words don't have set meaning.

The Closed Mindedness of the Open Minded

To paraphrase the movie "A Time to Kill" : spare me your liberal 'we are the only enlightened ones' bullshit. The easiest way to determine if someone is a closed minded bigot is if they constantly have to remind you how open minded they are, i.e., elitist liberal like the ones in Hollywood. An upcoming book exposes the bias against conservatives in Hollywood. The ad campaign for the book features these morons, on tape, openly admitting to the bias and endorsing it, because the man interviewing them has a Jewish last name and wore a Harvard law cap. It appears these kings of equality stereotyped him as a liberal. Perhaps they even profiled him as one.

Read the full article and take a look at the clips below it. I only wish I could still say it shocked, or for that matter, even surprised, me.
