This is one of the more interesting advertisements I've heard. Assuming it is meant tongue-in-cheek, I think it is one of the funnier ones I've hear. If he's serious about not teaching non-Christian Arabs and Muslims then I will be sure to never do business with him for discrimination (though I believe he has the right to do so). If he's serious about not teaching people who voted for Obama, I'm on the fence.

The Intellectual Falsehood of the Left

People often bemoan the lack of civilized discussion, the failure to meet a common ground in modern political discourse. You broker honesty with the dishonest. And so I give you Washington Post columnist Katrina vanden Heuvel, who thinks that the Republican Party is trying to roll back science. I would note for Ms. Heuvel that if you are seeking scientific credibility, Al Gore is probably not your best source. People such as Ms. Heuvel are the death of the very reason and rational logic they proclaim.

Obama Campaign Motto "What Can I Buy for Your Vote"

Earlier today, President Obama, the crusader of class warfare, noted that if he loses the coming election in 2012 the government will be telling people you are on your own. The man who once called for civility because Republicans were scaring people continued on saying that:

"If you get sick, you're on your own."

My, God! Apparently if he loses I will have no family or friends, no churches, no charities, no social organizations to turn to! Apparently EMTALA will be revoked, charity hospitals shut down. Clinics closed! What mad sick world would this be without him.

"If you can't afford college, you're on your own."

What insane level of Dante's hell is this! I can't get an overpriced education driven to insane costs by federal and state subsidization of moronic students that have no business to be there! I will be struck dumb, unable to read, unable to work or find gainful employment in this new sick world without him! Wherever will I be indoctrinated by men like Bill Ayers! Or jackasses who claim Jesus would be an athiest these days!

"If you don't like some corporation polluting your air or the air that your child breathes, then you're on your own."

Oh, please no, oh merciful President. Please bring not the dust and plagues of industry down upon myself and my family through your absence! What disgusting civilization do I live in that if I do not vote for Barack Obama they will choke my child and poison my air! Damn you miserable people, damn you!

Oh the horror!

President Ronald Reagan once quipped that the scariest words in the English language were "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help." I tend to think he's a little more on the ball than a man who has difficulty getting things right when he goes off script. (Remember, he'll give you a breathalyzer for that child who has the breathing problems or an inhalator, whatever that is, listen to the whole clip, what a speaker!)

Damn those Republicans with their scary rhetoric.

Why Would Someone Brag About This

Democratic Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) is bragging that she laid the intellectual foundation for the Occupy Wall Street movement. Judging from what I have seen of the participants Elizabeth Warren must have written the Communist Manifesto.

Vice President Joe Biden, Unplugged

I did some digging and found this video of Vice President Joe Biden discussing President Obama's "jobs" bill. If you don't get the joke, please read here (it's at the very end).

Reductio ad Absurdum in Practice

Six Senators (four Democrats and the two Maine RINOs) have introduced a bill to make the sale of fake maple syrup a felony. A felony. Seriously, the sale of fake syrup would result in you sacrificing the ability to vote (unless you vote Democrat). Finally, we are focused on what is important in this nation!

Take heart liberals, after all, this is similar to just another regulation on business, and as we all know, when government makes a regulation, it creates jobs (and angels get their wings!).

That Guy Who Keeps Predicting the End of the World May Be on to Something

Because I actually agree with something that came out of the mouth of Alec Baldwin. Baldwin, mingling amongst the masses at the Occupy Wall Street protests, noted the benefits of capital markets and that he thinks that getting rid of capital markets would be disastrous. Guess I need to start praying more often.

Your Money's No Good Here. No Seriously, I Can't Take Your Money

In local dumbassed news, the Louisiana State legislature passed a law that bans second hand goods from being sold for cash. I'm sure the flea markets will be pleased. Garage sale? Might want to make sure you're set up for Visa and Mastercard. Oh, and be prepared to chase down anyone who might have floated you a bad check.

At Some Point the Size of My Audience Will Likely Pass His

Keith Olbermann, the world's most spiteful former sportscaster has managed to whittle his audience down to a select group of 46,000 people each evening all for the low, low price of $10 million a year. Who knew that trotting out the hateful theories of Jeanene Garofalo and Michael Moore on a nightly basis would turn off viewers? He may want to rethink his "World's Worst Person" segments.

We Are the 99% Percent of Maybe a Tenth of the 21%

Democratic Pollster Douglas Schoen decided to poll the Occupy Wall Street crowd to get their views. The results? A group of engaged (52% have participated in some political movement)progressives (65% say government has a moral responsibility to provide health care, college education and retirement regardless of cost), disillusioned with capitalism and having a distinct activist orientation (98% advocate civil disobedience and 31% outright violence). Only 21% of the nation self-identifies as liberal. According to the progressive Center for American Progress in a 2009 study showed only 16% of people self-identify as progressives (which they somehow manage to make into 47% of the nation being liberal or progressive).

So the supposed "99%" seems to be more likely close to identifying ideologically with, to be generous, something like 2% of the population.

With a Laser-Like Focus on the Important Things

Four Democratic Senators have taken a break from their busy work of trying to convince everyone that when they say Washington, D.C., has a spending problem, it's because they aren't spending enough to focus on an issue of grave national importance, i.e., baseball players who use chewing tobacco. And to think, people who think government is too big or overreaches are called radicals.

The True Modern Politial Alignment

An affiliate of the American Nazi Party has come out in favor of the Occupy Wall Street protests, citing to the anti-"judeo-capitalist" nature of the protests. There are a number of documented instances of anti-semitism taking place at the various Occupy rallies. Of note is the portion of the statement where they disregard their distaste for communists and non-whites to join the attack on the "judeo-capitalists".

It is important for the Nazi's to overcome a dislike of communists, because the Communist Party USA has also endorsed the Occupy Wall Street movement. There has been plenty of evidence of communist sympathy amongst the protesters as well.

Last but hardly least, Democrats are seeking to capitalize on the Occupy Wall Street protests.

What is the common thread amongst the three groups? The true modern political alignment, the Statist, as described marvelously in Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" versus the non-statist, conservative (what Thomas Jefferson would have recognized as a liberal before the word got twisted into its current, unrecognizable form). It is group rights versus individual rights. These are the people that will destroy the American experiment if they are allowed to do so all under the guise of economic equality through state intervention.

Well This Seems Perfectly Above-Board

A federal judge has blocked a FOIA request for emails sent from now Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan (God, I can't wrap my mind around how stunningly awful it is that she is a Justice now) when she was serving in the Obama administration at the Department of Justice regarding Obamacare. It could be key to determining whether or not she should recuse herself from the case, soon to be before the Court, regarding the Constitutional merit of the program. Liberals have ramped up pressure on Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself, who, like Herman Cain, committed the sin of being conservative and black, because his wife works for the Heritage Foundation, which is opposed to Obamacare and liberal economics generally. The judge reasoned that the emails were purely personal as they were only related to her goal of being nominated to the Supreme Court. Let that sink in. These emails should come out so that the American public will know what, if any, part Ms. Kagan played in the passage of Obamacare.

Libtard Defined

A friend of mine recently asked on her Facebook account for a definition of "libtard" as she has apparently been called that of late. For the record, I would not apply that term to her. She's someone who has a big heart that informs much of her opinions and it is difficult to fault that even if I disagree with the conclusions it leads to. I would put her in a similar category with Senator Joe Lieberman (I. Conn.). I can't find much of anything I agree with the man about politically (other than national defense) but I respect his opinions as he never seems to come from a place of hatred or lack of reason.

No, to qualify for the libtard moniker, I respectfully submit that one should have to make a statement so unreasonable, so unqualified, so unsupported by evidence and reason that it can only be informed by pure ideological nonsense that trumps all sense of logic. So let's get to some examples, shall we?

Sean Penn : Fantastic actor and proof that art and reason need not collide. This is the jackass that supports the "democratic" authoritarian dictator Hugo Chavez. How did Penn become a libtard? He blames Republicans for his father being blacklisted in Hollywood as a Communist as a result of the Democrat controlled House Unamerican Activities Committee investigations which took place before anyone had even heard of Senator McCarthy. Make sense? Of course not, it's libtarded. Mr. Penn recently revealed his rather unclever name for the Tea Party, which he calls the "Get the 'N' word out of the White House" party. Strange, as I've seen lots of black people at the New Orleans Tea Party meetings and events and I've yet to see a single instance of racism in my local Tea Party (which is in a city that is 80% plus black). But he can say it and Piers Morgan won't even challenge the statement. He just nods and invokes ...

Morgan Freeman : Another wonderfully talented actor. Freeman decided to call the Tea Party racist as well. He now has a standing invitation to attend a Tennessee Tea Party event from Ali Akbar, a black Tea Party member. Of course Ali is probably just being paid by conservatives to distract from their racism according to...

Janeane Garofalo, who postulated that Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain is being paid to run for just that reason. Ms. Garofalo has long graced the pages of this particular blog with her unique brand of idiocy. She is a frequent guest of fellow libtard...

Keith Olbermann : I'm not sure where to even start with this idiot. This old article from American Thinker is pretty amusing. He's not even unique amongst his former co-workers, such as...

Ed Schultz : Schultz believes Herman Cain is pandering to us white racists who identify with the Tea Party. Luckily, he's backed up by a college professor who apparently knows something about the word "break" that none of us other people (including Merriam-Webster) knew.

But these guys are mainly celebutards, a group that does not necessarily belong exclusively to the libtard category (see, e.g., Pat Robertson, Courtney Stoddards). The scarier people are the ones that actually get elected. Like...

Alan Grayson : Grayson, the former Democratic Congressman from Florida and candidate to say "Duh, George" while aggressively petting a bunny at any given moment, is an extreme example of the libtard elected official. I have written about him a few times before. I think my favorite scumbag move of his was trying to get jail time for a constituent who campaigned against him. Grayson's views on government health care and the insane rhetoric he would resort to are echoed by...

Nancy Pelosi : Former Speaker of the House and current minority leader, the congresswoman from California can't be dismissed as a simple anomaly. Yet when a bill passes to ensure Obamacare doesn't utilize public funds for abortions, Ms. Pelosi immediately jumped to saying that the bill would lead to women dying on the floors of hospitals. That seems almost reasonable by comparison to...

Vice President Joe Biden : In all fairness, Vice President Biden has been known more for his gaffes in public speaking that any actual substance he possesses. But, as I noted previously, Mr. Biden intimated that if the President's "jobs" bill wasn't passed, there would be an increase in rapes and murders in Flint. Of course, it's only conservatives that use scare tactics (did you see that guy just push that old lady in the wheelchair over a cliff?)

So there you have it. Libtard defined.

Interesting Information on Occupy Wall Street

I am not setting this out as fact and have not been able to confirm it independently (which I normally will not cite to a story as fact without being able to confirm it from at least two other sources), I am not taking the position that it is correct, but it sure as hell bears watching. Big Government is reporting about the forces behind the Occupy Wall Street movement. If they are correct, there is something scary behind all of this other than the idiot leftists that are looking for the next Woodstock. Reuters pulled a story earlier about George Soros being behind the funding for the "movement" before criticism came heaping down upon them. I have no doubt that something is amiss here, I'm just not certain it is anything bigger than unrest at the moment.

Heavyweights Weigh in On Herman Cain's Economic Program

Both Congressman Paul Ryan (R. Wis.), who is know as the man with the greatest understanding of the budget in Washington, D.C., and Art Laffer, economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan, the greatest President of the 20th century, have come out in favor of candidate Herman Cain's 9-9-9 tax plan. Paul Ryan says he "loves it". Mr. Laffer graded it as an "A+" when discussing it with Mr. Cain when he traveled to meet him to get his advise on the plan. The criticism in chief of the program has been the idea that the federal government will raise the plan from 9-9-9 to 21-21-21. But imagine how hard it will be to raise taxes under a program that is simple enough for the American people to understand it and the implications of any changes.

Vice President Joe Biden, That Drunk Uncle You Wish You Didn't Know

I will be curious to see how many liberal commentators take up this particular argument. Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Flint, Michigan, intimated that if President Obama's "jobs" bill that there will be more rapes and murders this year. Who knew?

Obama to Visit Museum of Natural History, Apologize to Neanderthals for Extinction

Just when you thought the whirlwind "President Obama's America Sucks" apology tour was in the past, cables from Wikileaks reveal that President Obama intended to visit Nagasaki and Hiroshima and apologize for dropping the atomic bomb on those cities to win World War II. The President apparently had to be told by the Japanese government not to do this. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton felt the need to have her department contact the family of slain terrorist Samir Kahn to say how sorry they were about blowing him to hell.

Maybe he should apologize to the United Kingdom for his shitty taste in gifts or returning the bust of Winston Churchill. I'm hoping he'll apologize to me some day for being taller. Given recent history, I'm thinking it isn't that far out of the realm of possibility.

If it Was a Living Document, He Would Have Had it Killed Via Drone Attack by Now

President Obama has once again decided the Constitution is merely an impediment to his fiat (and I blame him for the bankruptcy proceedings of Chrysler that brought Fiat back to America along with those horrible Jennifer Lopez commercials) regime and Congress isn't doing a damned thing about it. I have written before about the rampant extra-constitutional activities of this administration and in all fairness, it is not the first, just the most hypocritical and least apologetic. Just a brief recap of a few highlights (I don't think I can write a post long enough to cover them all):

President Obama proposes a debt commission : Voted down by a supermajority Democratic Senate The President simply creates it out of thin air. He then ignores their recommendations, essentially having wasted the millions of dollars appropriated to them.

DREAM Act : Voted down by Congress despite both Houses being under Democratic control. The President instructs his administration to not enforce provisions of immigration law in such a way as to essentially enact its provisions.

Cap & Trade : Couldn't get through a Democratic Congress. The EPA is essentially forcing a cap and trade system through fines and increased regulatory control.

Card Check : Couldn't get through a Democratic Congress. The NLRB has enacted regulations similar to card check in order to fast track unionization of workforces without prior procedures or employers being able to present their case to workers.

This time, President Obama isn't even trying to circumvent the Constitution sub rosa. When the Senate couldn't pass President Obama's laughable "jobs" bill (liberal English : Jobs bill, conservative English : stimulus package, vernacular : spending a load of money they don't have), President Obama just instructed his administration to start enacting the provisions of the bill that they can and ignore Congress.

Congress, for its part, is spending its time sitting on its hands and watching quietly as its relevance wanes. It's almost like watching a man sleep through his own execution.

Everything Government Does Creates Jobs!

Minnesota Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison told MSNBC that government regulations actually create jobs. As with most Democratic contentions about government job creation, this one involves a touch of magic, some sleight of hand, and, preferably, a massive stroke to remove whatever portions of your brain still operate on logic. Much like the often rolled out Democratic mantra that unemployment spending is the most stimulative form of government spending, this Olympic leap of logic requires a suspension of disbelief that borders on expulsion.

Maybe if we regulate the living crap out of everything, we can reach full employment! We'll have three government agencies cross-regulating every industry, made up of an average of 600 staff per agency. Employers will hire 60 people to deal with the massive regulations for each individual company in each industry. So we have, at some point, millions of people no longer employed, though they don't actually produce anything, nor do they add value to the products of industry. The cost of employing them are passed on to the few remaining productive members of society through taxes and higher costs for the regulated products. The costs of products will skyrocket and some products will eventually be phased out as a result of the inability to comply with regulations, despite being just as good as the more expensive products, and often better. Again, while millions of employed people aren't adding any value to society, the growth of wealth slows to a snails pace. The gap between rich and poor widens as the rich invest in material goods that will retain their value while the poor are reliant upon a dollar that has less and less value as the government stretches dollars between more and more people and the costs of goods are pushed up.

Wait, this is starting to sound familiar.

Update on Proposed List of Demands

Occupy Wall Street has recently changed the original page to say that the proposed list of demands I referred to in an earlier post was simply a user submission. There apparently is no list of demands as the New York "General Assembly" has not voted on any demands. So, over a month into the "movement" these people don't know what they are in favor of other than banning showers. I just wanted to clear this up because I'd hate to attribute anything negative to a bunch of people who seem to have no purpose and tons of support from unions, who apparently also don't know what they want.

This is an interesting piece from American Thinker on science and the left.

He's a Lumber Jackin', Baby!

In more Herman Cain news, the Republican Presidential candidate was interviewed by MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell, yet another Harvard graduate who is an avowed socialist. O'Donnell showed the disdain for all conservatives that has become the trademark of MSNBC prime time hosts in what was described by Real Clear Politics as "bizarre interview that didn't seem to have a point other than to attack Mr. Cain" as he tried to paint Mr. Cain as "anti-black and a draft dodger". Though there is no byline associated with the commentary, Real Clear Politics is not, in my experience, a site that tends to lean one way or the other. Typically, its front page consists of alternating articles from commentators on the left and right. Cain maintained his cool and, in my opinion, comes off looking much better than what appears to be a petty and snide O'Donnell.

This is the same MSNBC that was so unprofessional during the 2008 and 2010 election coverage that they openly mocked conservatives on what was supposed to be straight news coverage.

If Lawrence O'Donnell be against thee...well, you got the right one, baby!

Democrat Wants to Take Black Man's Vote From Him

To be fair, there's nothing new about a Democrat trying to stop a black man from voting. They were the authors of the Jim Crow laws after all. This instance is pretty outrageous as well. Representative Louise Slaughter (D. NY) noted that she and others are looking into a "retroactive recusal" to take away Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' votes. Ms. Slaughter apparently misread "to protect and defend the Constitution" as "to subvert and upend".

Occupy Wall Street List of Demands Released (I.E. Today's Liberal English to English Translation)

The Occupy Wall Street people (though from every interview I've seen with them, they have an intelligence level which doesn't qualify as "people") have released their proposed set of demands. Let's review, shall we?

1. Restoration of the living wage by ending free trade.

Translation : Government gives everyone money by making sure no one can sell goods abroad because of punitive trade policies. Bottom line, none of us have taken an economics class.

2. Institute a single payer healthcare system.

Translation : Like we said, none of us have taken an economics class.

3. Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

Translation : We don't want to work. Do we really have to keep reminding you we haven't taken any economics? Add in that none of us are capable of simple logic as well. Copy and past in addendum to all other translations.

4. Free college education.

Translation : At this point we're on the verge of asking for a gift basket. Why do we need a free education when we don't have to work? See simple logic above.

5. Fast track "alternative energy" and end fossil fuels.

Translation : We already live outside and don't shower, so why would we need energy?

6. One trillion dollars in infrastructure spending now.

Translation : We saw this on a flier from the Democratic Party and it sounded smart. I'm sorry, what's that about a failed stimulus package?

7. One trillion dollars on ecologic restoration and an end to nuclear power.

Translation : I just found my parents' VHS tape copy of "The China Syndrome" and it looks scary. Plus as we said before, we already live outdoors and we need our forests to be green and dropping money on them will make them green and leafy. Made of cloth you say?

8. Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

Translation : Civil Rights Act of 1964? Never heard of it. Guess the Democrats already beat us to that one. Wait, they voted against it?

9. Open borders migration, anyone can live, travel and work anywhere.

Translation : Once we start spending all that money we're printing, we'll need to get it to Mexico somehow. Plus, it's not like we have any interest in maintaining our borders since no one wants to kill us, or kidnap us. I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean by "Mexican drug cartels".

10. Bring American elections up to international standards of paper ballots counted and recounted in front of independent observers.

Translation : If we couldn't have kept finding ballots, Al Franken would never have been able to defraud the Minnesota Senatorial election, and let's face it, he was a horrible comedian, so making him a Senator means we don't have to listen to him any more. What were we thinking about neutral observers? Well, how about the Black Panthers? They did a bang up job watching over elections in 2008, right.

11. Eliminate all existing debt.

Translation : Cause, dude, I can't afford that car note until someone starts handing me a living wage. Our magic happy wand solution will let everyone get a fresh start, then we can implement our unicorns made of gold program and puppies that pee platinum program to help everyone be able to live. No, dammit, Cisco! You still owe me that ten bucks for your mocha crappe latte!

12. Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

Translation : Have you seen my score? It's like 185.

13. Allow workers to sign a ballot at any time during the process of unionizing to go ahead and start the union.

Translation : Well, see, I hang out at the student union a lot, and like, that place is pretty cool. So I think everyone should have to have a union. Where else are you gonna buy your books?

The proposed demands ends with a statement that "These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy." Apparently this was stolen from New York Times fraud economist Paul Krugman.

These people are living proof that if evolution ever existed, society has killed it off.

His Mother Was Prescient Naming Him That

Seantor Dick Durbin (D. Ill.), whose own amendment to the Dodd-Frank financial regulatory bill is causing banks to charge monthly fees for debit cards to customers, came to the Senate floor to admit the mistake and suggest that amendment to the bill should be repealed...nah, just kidding, he decided to encourage customers to make a run on the biggest bank in America. In fact, while calling for the collapse of a major banking institution which would have resulted in a depression, Durbin doubled down and bragged about how proud he was to make sure banks are forced to pass along costs to their customers.

Thanks, Dick, as I've suggested before, customers should keep their accounts and just send the extra billing on to your office along with anyone else who voted for this anencephalic piece of legislation.

The Cain Saw is Ripping Along

Presidential Candidate Herman Cain has steamed ahead in recent polls after his upset win at the Florida straw poll. A new CBS poll has Cain tied atop the candidates with former Massachusettes Governor Mitt Romney. With a number of states moving up their primaries as early as January 2012 it will be significant who is in the leading position at the end of this year. Cain seems to have the momentum and support right now to capitalize on these early primaries and be the eventual Republican nominee. Given his admitted weakness on foreign policies, his choice of Vice President will be key (the situation was the same when President Obama picked Vice President Biden) and I would hope he would strongly consider former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich for that position. Gingrich would have the additional benefit of bringing serious policy experience to the ticket to balance Mr. Cain's lack of public sector work. Right now, I'm on board for Mr. Cain.

Someone is Dropping the Hammer and the Sickle is not Far Behind

Not to rehash everything I've told you about Russian President and despot Vladimir Putin, but suffice it to say he's looking to re-establish Russia as the preeminent power in the world. He's not bothering to hide his hand now. Putin wants to come in and establish a pan-Asian European union. Putin will return to the Prime Minister role in the next election and he's displaying behavior increasingly indicative of an ego maniac. I don't want to be the alarmist, but I think we're seeing the development of something similar to a new Axis. Keep your eyes turned to a possible move in the financial markets by the Russians or Chinese. Something about this smells dirty.
