Samuel L. Jackson: 'I Voted for Obama because he's black'...

Fiction" star only voted for the president for one reason and one reason only ... because he's black. In an interview with Ebony magazine, Jackson explained, "I voted for Barack because he was black. 'Cuz that's why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them ... That's American politics, pure and simple. [Obama's] message didn't mean [bleep] to me." Jackson then went on to drop the N-word several times when discussing Obama, telling the mag, "When it comes down to it, they wouldn't have elected a [bleep]. Because, what's a [bleep]? A [bleep] is scary. Obama ain't scary at all. [Bleeps] don't have beers at the White House. [Bleeps] don't let some white dude, while you in the middle of a speech, call [him] a liar. A [bleep] would have stopped the meeting right there and said, ‘Who the [bleep] said that?' I hope Obama gets scary in the next four years, 'cuz he ain't gotta worry about getting re-elected." Smacks of ... Obama needs to Black it up.

Which Republican Presidential Candidate Supported Sotomayor?

Pop quiz: Which Republican presidential candidate supported the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor?
Hint: It’s the same one who endorsed a pro-abortion-rights presidential candidate in an earlier campaign.
Give up? The answer is Rick Santorum.
Santorum was rightly known as a conservative firebrand during his 12 years in the Senate, but the 1998 confirmation vote for Sonia Sotomayor to the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals was a notable exception, and so was his endorsement of Arlen Specter’s bid for the 1996 Republican presidential nomination.
More on Specter, in a moment, but first, the Sotomayor nomination.
This was not a typical Circuit Court nomination. When Bill Clinton picked Sotomayor in June 1997, many conservatives believed her confirmation would put her in a fast track to the Supreme Court. The Wall Street Journal editorial called her a liberal judicial activist. Rush Limbaugh said Clinton was putting her on a rocket ship to the Supreme Court. A vote to confirm her to the Circuit Court, many Republicans believed, would make it hard to vote against her if she was nominated to the Supreme Court.

Santorum on the Defensive Over Gender Remarks

WASHINGTON — Only days after having to explain a comment about women and emotions in combat, Rick Santorum seemed to struggle a bit on Sunday to explain a remark in his 2005 book “It Takes a Family” that blamed “radical feminists” for undermining families and for trying to persuade women that they could find fulfillment only in the workplace.
Asked on the ABC News program “This Week” about the book’s contentions, Mr. Santorum noted that his wife, Karen, had written that section — though only his name is on the cover and he does not list her in the acknowledgments as among those “who assisted me in the writing of this book.” He said that when Mrs. Santorum, a nurse and a lawyer, had quit working to raise the couple’s children, she felt that many people “looked down their nose at that decision.”
“Sadly, the propaganda campaign launched in the 1960s has taken root,” Mr. Santorum (or his wife) wrote in the book. “The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness.”

Racist Internet Troll Exposed - News One

Darren Burton, who trolls the internet under the alias Nimrod Severen leaving bigoted, racist and offensive comments, was exposed in an episode of investigative BBC television show, Panaroma, reports CNET.com.

A resident of Cardiff, Wales in the United Kingdom, Burton is one of many people who use social media as a tool to anonymously spew hatred, knowing that physical retaliation or legal consequence is improbable.
In an episode that aired Monday night, the BBC revealed various posts made by Burton on random Facebook RIP pages, ranging from “Rot in Piss” to “Rot in Piss you filthy nigger.”
BBC’s Declan Lawn, attempted to tap into Burton’s sense of decency, but met with extreme callousness and disrespect. When asked by the investigative reporter did he ever feel remorse or take the feelings of those individuals whom may be hurt by his offensive words into consideration, Burton answered with the cocksure demeanor of a 5th grade bully:
“Yeah,” he said with a shrug,”Fuck ‘em.”
Burton remained defensive — yet confident — throughout the entire interview, saying that everything he wrote on Facebook was a matter of free speech:
“Facebook is an open forum,” he insisted. If he does face legal ramifications for hate speech, he casually referenced a previous case during which his time served was minimal:
“Nine weeks? Nine weeks in jail? What’s that?”

I found this story interesting because where I found it. NewsOne is a site that caters to a black audience and I post many links to their articles from time to time. I love how they try their best to constantly portray the evilness of whitey, while also working overtime to lick the boots of Obama and his incompetence.

This racial bashing is no different than a website like Stormfront or Council of Conservative citizens posting a bunch of anti-darkie diatribes trying to pain ever person with brown skin as contemptible or undesirable and not worthy of sharing American soil.

Whether the site is anti-black or anti-white both play a significant role in eroding the fabric of American society. An idiot is an idiot no matter what color and the continuing racial and cultural divide that is today’s American society is a cancer that needs to be eradicated however I won’t hold my breath that things will improve anytime soon.

Free speech is something worth protecting because I’m sure soon I may not get to share my humble opinions here one day due to my continued disdain for the current administration.

I’ve never had a problem with any racist fuck wanting to express his displeasure with my sheer existence simply based on my skin shading because racist behavior based on such a ridiculously insignificant factor such as skin color is tantamount to mental retardation.

If some racist calling me a nigger is the only way of obtaining a mental erection then have at it.

The things that should always count when it comes to assessing an individual’s worthiness should always be defined by a person’s character things like being altruistic or selfless, being empathetic, are you basically an honest and responsible individual. Regardless of skin color, creed, national origin whatever these are the values that should always be at the center when assessing an individual’s worthiness.

We are all flawed to some degree but we should all agree that casting stones to denigrate people based on race not only self-destructive but destructive to the nation as a whole as well.

One Town's War on Gay Teens - Rolling Stone Mag

In Michele Bachmann's home district, evangelicals have created an extreme anti-gay climate. After a rash of suicides, the kids are fighting back.

Every morning, Brittany Geldert stepped off the bus and bolted through the double doors of Fred Moore Middle School, her nerves already on high alert, bracing for the inevitable. "Dyke." Pretending not to hear, Brittany would walk briskly to her locker, past the sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders who loitered in menacing packs.

"Whore."

Like many 13-year-olds, Brittany knew seventh grade was a living hell. But what she didn't know was that she was caught in the crossfire of a culture war being waged by local evangelicals inspired by their high-profile congressional representative Michele Bachmann, who graduated from Anoka High School and, until recently, was a member of one of the most conservative churches in the area. When Christian activists who considered gays an abomination forced a measure through the school board forbidding the discussion of homosexuality in the district's public schools, kids like Brittany were unknowingly thrust into the heart of a clash that was about to become intertwined with tragedy.

The Anti-Romney Vote (Thomas Sowell)

A funny thing happened to Mitt Romney on the way to his coronation as the inevitable Republican candidate for President of the United States. Minnesota, Michigan and Colorado happened. Rick Santorum beat him in all three states on the same day — and beat him by huge margins in two of those states, as well as upsetting him in Colorado, where the Mormon vote was expected to give Romney a victory.
The Republican establishment, which has lined up heavily behind Romney, has tried to depict him as the "electable," if not invincible, candidate in the general election this November. But it is hard to maintain an aura of invincibility after you have been vinced, especially in a month when pundits had suggested that Romney might build up an unstoppable momentum of victories.

In a sense, this year's campaign for the Republican nomination is reminiscent of what happened back in 1940, when the big-name favorites — Senators Taft and Vandenberg, back then — were eclipsed by a lesser known candidate who seemed to come out of nowhere.

As the Republican convention that year struggled to try to come up with a majority vote for someone, a chant began in the hall and built to a crescendo: "We want Willkie! We want Willkie!"

If there is a message in the rise and fall of so many conservative Republican candidates during this year's primary season, it seems to be today's Republican voters saying, "We don't want Romney! We don't want Romney!"

Two members of the creative team that produced the two-minute minute spot for ad agency Wieden+Kennedy donated their personal time in 2008 to make pro-Obama art.

This year’s most discussed Super Bowl ad—a two-minute spot for Chrysler narrated by Clint Eastwood—continues to generate controversy in conservative political circles, where a host of questions have been raised about the automaker’s alleged motives for commissioning the advertisement.

In the days ahead, similar politically charged queries also are likely to be raised about the highly regarded Portland Oregon-based ad agency that produced the spot—Wieden+Kennedy, some of whose key creative professionals privately supported Barack Obama in the 2008 election.

Eastwood was the surprise narrator of the spot that aired during Sunday’s NFL title game, one which both Republican and Democratic politicos have characterized as subtly echoing some of the incumbent president’s major reelection campaign themes.

The talk-radio host and some Internet filmmakers are having a field day with the legendary actor's "It's Halftime in America" commercial.

Rush Limbaugh's Clint Eastwood "Halftime in America" Parody ******
Obama’s Halftime Hypocrisy - Right Wing News

On Super Bowl Sunday, America was treated to the most expensive political commercial in history — brought to you by Chrysler — called “It’s Halftime in America.”
In a series of vapid non sequiturs, Clint Eastwood’s gravelly voice pinned the promise of a city — no, a nation — to government dependency, claiming that “the people of Detroit” lost almost everything but because “we” pulled together and the “Motor City is fighting again” — punching, roaring, imbued with American grit — we survived.
Or, some might argue, after screwing stakeholders, discarding legal contracts, rewarding failed business models (while punishing those who employ better ones) and sticking taxpayers with the unions’ fat pension tab, America got a heaping spoonful of the Obama administration’s economic policy.
Either way, it’s odd that we didn’t hear much griping about “corporatism,” oligarchies and Citizens United, though a corporate-sponsored campaign spot laid out the president’s re-election narrative rather nicely. Now, I have no beef with Chrysler’s running a campaign ad, but the thing is that if Obama had his way, Republicans would have a good case for banning this kind of politicking. You know, for the good of democracy.

Obamacare and the American Conscience - Ace of Spades

From the WSJ: what I meant, but expressed more competently.

The political furor over President Obama's birth-control mandate continues to grow, even among those for whom contraception poses no moral qualms, and one needn't be a theologian to understand why. The country is being exposed to the raw political control that is the core of the Obama health-care plan, and Americans are seeing clearly for the first time how this will violate pluralism and liberty.
Right. As this thing unfolds and we "find out what is in it," we're going to see that it violates many aspects of our self-determination, not just our religious conscience.
Any one-size-fits-all code in a culturally pluralistic country must violate most everyone's freedom of choice in one way or another, or it would have to have so many exemptions carved out of it that it would eventually not be a uniform code at all, being full of contradictions and unfairness, and therefore unequally prosecuted.

Romneycare: Worth Getting Worried About

"So Santorum has a chance. He's run an impressive campaign, but he’d better be wearing armor and kevlar tomorrow morning, when the Romney team unleashes all of its negative artillery against him. But what can Romney dwell on that would damage Santorum as much as Romneycare harms Romney? When Santorum was assailing Romney on health care in Jacksonville, Romney told Santorum, "It's not worth getting angry about." Well, the voters in Missouri and Minnesota may not have been angry, but something about Mitt Romney concerned them. I suspect at the heart of their concern was Romneycare. And I suspect it's worth Mitt Romney getting worried about. "- Bill Kristol

12-Year-Old Raises $10,500 To Save Grandma From Foreclosure

It's such stuff as uplifting after-school specials are made on. A plucky Wisconsin tween recently managed to raise enough money to save his grandmother from losing a house that had been in the family for three generations.

The boy's 72-year-old grandmother had begun falling behind on her mortgage payments in 2010 and her house was slated for a foreclosure auction on Feb. 15.
But the 12-year-old took to the internet to create this website explaining his grandma's situation and asking people to help the woman who had helped so many others over the years by serving as a foster parent to hundreds of children.

Mission Accomplished: Government Dependence Up 23% Under Obama - Jammie Wearing Fools

It’s all going according to plan. Take a nation of formerly independent, hard-working people and make them slaves to the government.

Consider it one great vote-buying scheme.

The American public’s dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation.
The conservative think tank’s annual Index of Dependence on Government tracks money spent on housing, health, welfare, education subsidies and other federal programs that were “traditionally provided to needy people by local organizations and families.”
The increase under Obama is the biggest two-year jump since Jimmy Carter was president, the data show.

Holder tells Congress the Obama administration wants to ban guns - DailyCaller

Last Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder appeared before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to answer questions about his role in the deadly “Fast and Furious” gun-running scandal. However, instead of answers, Congress got more defiance, more arrogance, and more wasted time with an attorney general who clearly feels no sense of obligation to the American people or our rule of law.
But for all the stonewalling, there was at least one telling moment at this hearing, and it should concern law-abiding gun owners and all Americans who expect accountability from our government.
In a rash attempt to deflect attention away from himself and his own irresponsibility, Holder let Congress know that the Obama administration is still working toward the day when it can reinstate former President Bill Clinton’s so-called “assault weapons” ban.

Making Mitt Romney:How to fabricate a conservative

By Ken Silverstein

Earlier this year, the Boston Globe obtained a copy of an internal campaign PowerPoint presentation that outlined Romney’s strengths and weaknesses as he embarked on his presidential bid. One page—entitled “Primal Code for Brand
Romney”—explained that Romney should market himself as a foil to such Massachusetts liberals as Senators Edward Kennedy and John Kerry, and also run against such “enemies” as Hollywood, France, and “moral relativism.” Problems identified by the campaign included the perception that Romney would not make a tough wartime leader and the possibility that voters would be spooked by his Mormon religion.

The presentation also acknowledged the problematic view that Romney is a “phony” and a “political opportunist”; but that view is due at least in part to the fact that by any reasonable standard it’s true. The basic contours of his opportunism are by now fairly well known. During Romney’s unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate against Edward Kennedy in 1994, he espoused liberal beliefs on a number of social issues. A politically damaging clip from a campaign debate that year has surfaced, inevitably, on YouTube; it shows Romney posing as an advocate for gays, women, and minorities, and—in perhaps his gravest sacrilege—distancing himself from the political legacy of Ronald Reagan.

Romney, Brent Bozell wrote the day after the debate in a piece for UPI, had “demonstrated very clearly . . . that he has more in common with liberal Democrats than he does with Conservatives.”

Romney A Conservative at Heart? - Red State

Posted by Tom Jefferson

"if you want to tell me he’s the most electable and thus you’re supporting him based on that dynamic alone fine, I think you’re full of horse sh** but at least you gave me a reason that could be argued one way or another. But to sit there and try to convince me that the former governor is a true conservative and he only abandoned his conservatism because he had to win in deep blue Massachusetts well, I’m not going to buy that item my friend.

Here’s the thing, you think Scott Walker in deep blue Wisconsin left his conservative principles at the front door when he ran in 2010? What does it say about Scott Walker who’s catching mad hell right now, fighting off a recall election, and Democrat attack dogs when he stood by his conservative beliefs in the face of opposition as opposed to Mitt Romney who perhaps like a political coward made the decision to run away from his conservative beliefs when he ran for governor in Massachusetts? I mean would that not make Romney a coward or do I have this whole thing wrong? If Scott Walker ran as a small government conservative in an equally deep blue state then why couldn’t Romney?

The most laughable thing I heard from a Romney supporter was when Man Coulter had the balls to say that Mitt Romney was the most conservative candidate in the race. Now I understand whoring yourself out for Romney because your hatred for Obama is such that you desperately want to replace him with a guy who isn’t all that different from him other than the fact that one has an “R” by his name and the other a “D”, but come on bra, don’t play us like we’re brain dead."

Romney Ramps Up Efforts To Attract Social Conservatives - NPR

GOP presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is reaching out to social conservatives in a new way. At a rally in the gym at Arapahoe High School in Centennial, Colo., Monday night, Romney rolled out some new material: the rights given to people by God.
"I am just distressed as I watch, as I watch our president try and infringe upon those rights," Romney said to the capacity crowd. "The first amendment of the Constitution provides the right to worship in the way of our own choice."
Romney cited a Supreme Court case related to the firing of a teacher at a religious school, and a recent decision by the department of Health and Human Services to require religious institutions like schools and hospitals to cover birth control pills as part of the insurance provided to employees.
That includes "contraceptives, morning-after pills — in other words, abortive pills," Romney said, venturing into territory he typically doesn't address on the campaign trail.
"Think what that does to people in faiths that do not share those views. This is a violation of conscience. We must have a president who is willing to protect America's first right — a right to worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience," Romney said.

Congressional earmarks sometimes used to fund projects near lawmakers' properties

By David S. Fallis, Published: February 6

A U.S. senator from Alabama directed more than $100 million in federal earmarks to renovate downtown Tuscaloosa near his own commercial office building. A congressman from Georgia secured $6.3 million in taxpayer funds to replenish the beach about 900 feet from his island vacation cottage. A representative from Michigan earmarked $486,000 to add a bike lane to a bridge within walking distance of her home. Thirty-three members of Congress have directed more than $300 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers’ own property, according to a Washington Post investigation.

Mitt Romney’s misfire on the national anthem

“We are the only people on the earth that put our hand over our heart during the playing of the national anthem. It was FDR who asked us to do that, in honor of the blood that was being shed by our sons and daughters in far-off places.”
— Mitt Romney, Feb. 2, 2012
This is a strange one.
Kudos to Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed for first spotting this claim, though it turns out that the former Massachusetts governor also said this at least once before, during a stump speech in Iowa in December. (Update: a colleague reports this line has been a regular staple of Romney’s stump speech.)
The first part of this statement is simply wrong. As Kaczynski noted, Romney ran the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics and surely should have noticed the many athletes with their hands on their hearts during the playing of their national anthems.
We randomly searched YouTube for the playing of the national anthem for various countries and quickly found several examples, such as Japan and Brazil, that disprove Romney’s claim of American exceptionalism.

Topeka Mayor Bill Bunten's plan to curb crime: ban hoodies and baseball hats - The Pitch

Here is an epically stupid idea. Topeka Mayor Bill Bunten has told the City Council that he thinks it should ban baseball hats and hoodies. Topeka's law enforcement officers, like they do in every city, rely on surveillance cameras to help nab criminals. But sometimes, people wear clothing that makes it difficult to identify them on camera. So, Bunten argues, the city should just ban them altogether when security cameras are present.
Bunten told the council that Police Chief Ron Miller suggested the idea. The mayor says other cities have reduced crime with similar bans and outlawing the clothing would be good for Topeka. "Anything we can do to lower crime and make it safer for people who work in businesses, I think that's a positive," he told the Council.
Local media, however, didn't have a hard time finding people who thought the idea sucked. One downtown business owner told KSNT-TV, "Seems very socialist, very communist. I think we would lose a lot of customers over this. I know that in a downtown area, unlike a mall, when you have on your outdoor attire you're not going to leave it in the car." And The Capital-Journal quoted council member Andrew Gray as saying, "Ironically, I wore a hoodie all day today at work."

The Catholic Church is in open revolt against the Obama Administration.

Cliff Kincaid — January 30, 2012

My Catholic priest, Father Larry Swink, delivered a homily on Sunday that I told him would make headlines. In the toughest sermon I have ever heard from a pulpit, he attacked the Obama Administration as evil, even demonic, and warned of religious persecution ahead. What was also newsworthy about the sermon was that he cited The Washington Post in agreement—not on the subject of the Obama Administration being evil, but on the matter of its abridgment of the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
What is happening is extraordinary and unprecedented. The Catholic Church is in open revolt against the Obama Administration, with Fr. Swink noting from the pulpit that priests across the archdiocese were joining the call on Sunday to rally Catholics to resistance against the U.S. Government. He said we are entering a time of religious persecution and that Catholics and others will have to make a final decision about which side they are on.

The Audacity of Obama's Secularism - The American Spectator

God has no rights in a culture dominated by fashionable bigots.

The secularists of the French Revolution regarded the Roman Catholic Church as the last obstacle to atheism's final triumph. Blurting this out, the French dilettante Denis Diderot proposed to his fellow revolutionaries that they strangle the last priest with the "guts of the last king."

Under this spirit, the forces of secularism picked up speed in the 18th and 19th century, went into overdrive in the 20th, and now floor it in the 21st. Barack Obama is the one these revolutionaries have been "waiting for." He is the stealth radical, soft in temperament but hard in thought, who seeks to use religiosity without religion to purge all traces of God from public life.

Not wanting to repeat John Kerry's electoral debacle -- which even Nancy Pelosi attributed to the leaden senator's undisguised secularism -- Obama worked hard to con the religious into voting for him in 2008. He "valued" religion, particularly the votes of the religious. On his campaign web page, "people of faith" enjoyed their own special slot, a mere two tabs down from the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community."
Obama cast himself as a "post-partisan" politician on matters of the spirit. He found fawning dupes in the religious community to provide him with pulpits and platforms for faux-pensive addresses on his newly conceived "connection between politics and religion." This pretentious throat clearing amounted to nothing more than Alinskyite advice to his fellow Democrats that they exploit religion for secularist and socialist purposes.

Michael Savage: Clint Eastwood was wrong - WND

U.S. taxpayers lost $1.3 billion on Chrysler bailout

Michael Savage is a big fan of Eastwood, but when the legendary actor appeared in a Super Bowl ad that held up the government’s bailout of Chrysler as a pillar on which to build the country’s economic recovery, the talk-radio host called a foul.
Eastwood’s much-discussed commercial, “It’s Halftime in America,” strikes a somber tone, noting “people are out of work” but pointing to the aftermath of the $12.5 billion bailout of the auto giant as a sign of hope.

“The people in Detroit know something about this,” Eastwood says of the harsh economic conditions of the past several years. “They almost lost everything. But we all pulled together. Now Motor City is fighting again.”

But Savage told his listeners that while most Americans believe that Chrysler repaid the loan, “if you read the fine print, Chrysler ran off with $1.3 billion.”
“It was astonishing for a man who allegedly is somewhat conservative … to be talking about bailing out the auto industry,” Savage said of Eastwood.
Savage traced the $12.5 billion that the Treasury Department gave Chrysler in 2009. Last year, the Italian automaker Fiat bought the government’s 6 percent stake in Chrysler, which closed the books on the feds’ involvement.

In the end, taxpayers were out $1.3 billion.

Another reason Mitt's no conservative - WND
Thomas Sowell gives 'safety net' Romney a lesson in minimum-wage economics

Gov. Mitt Romney’s statement about not worrying about the poor has been treated as a gaffe in much of the media, and those in the Republican establishment who have been rushing toward endorsing his coronation as the GOP’s nominee for president – with 90 percent of the delegates still not yet chosen – have been trying to sweep his statement under the rug.
But Romney’s statement about not worrying about the poor – because they “have a very ample safety net” – was followed by a statement that was not just a slip of the tongue, and should be a defining moment in telling us about this man’s qualifications as a conservative and, more important, as a potential president of the United States.

Mitt Romney has come out in support of indexing the minimum-wage law, to have it rise automatically to keep pace with inflation. To many people, that would seem like a small thing that can be left for economists or statisticians to deal with.
But to people who call themselves conservatives, and aspire to public office, there is no excuse for not being aware of what a major social disaster the minimum-wage law has been for the young, the poor and especially for young and poor blacks.

It is not written in the stars that young black males must have astronomical rates of unemployment. It is written implicitly in the minimum-wage laws.

We have gotten so used to seeing unemployment rates of 30 or 40 percent for black teenage males that it might come as a shock to many people to learn that the unemployment rate for 16- and 17-year-old black males was just under 10 percent back in 1948. Moreover, it was slightly lower than the unemployment rate for white males of the same age.

How could this be?

The economic reason is quite plain. The inflation of the 1940s had pushed money wages for even unskilled, entry-level labor above the level specified in the minimum-wage law passed 10 years earlier. In other words, there was in practical effect no national minimum-wage law in the late 1940s.

Romney shows he’s out of touch - Chicago Sun Times

By Laura Washington

If this were a Karaoke contest, it would already be over. In the latest twist to the wildly improbable 2012 presidential campaign, the front-runners were stumping to the sound of music.
At a fund-raiser at Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, President Barack Obama, channeling his inner Al Green, crooned “Let’s Stay Together.” Last week, Mitt Romney, Obama’s leading Republican foe, paused on the campaign trail to belt out a round of “America the Beautiful.” I asked my Facebook friends for their vote. Obama won in a landslide. Sandy Smith wrote: “The first thing I thought was, Romney sang because Obama sang. My vote is for Obama!!!! We got a hunk of a hottie for president!!!” Well, I wouldn’t go as far as “hottie.” But let’s just say that Romney’s creaky, off-key attempt reminds me of a much bigger problem for the GOP.
When it comes to the haves vs. the have-nots, Mitt Romney is tone-deaf. We all know that Romney is among that lucky 1 percent. Fair-minded Americans don’t begrudge his wealth and success. We would all like to walk in his penny loafers. Problem is, Romney was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he can’t seem to keep his foot out of it. That flaw has become a major flashpoint in the presidential sweepstakes. “I’m not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I’ll fix it,” Romney said Wednesday morning in an interview with CNN. “I’m not concerned about the very rich. They’re doing just fine. I’m concerned about the very heart of America, the 90, 95 percent of Americans who right now are struggling.” By the end of the day, the Democratic National Committee was blasting the comment in an Internet ad. Romney later acknowledged that he “misspoke,” and was focusing his message on help for the middle class. Even GOP stalwarts were flummoxed. A Wall Street Journal editorial scolded Romney for his “artlessness” but pleaded that he “is better than he sounds.” Conservative radio mouth Rush Limbaugh said that while Romney’s words were “understandable” in the proper context, “he comes across as the prototypical rich Republican.” Actually, Romney comes across like a guy who has a tin ear when it comes to America’s economic divide. It was Romney who said that his $360,000 in speaking fees was not a lot of dough. He’s the guy who tried to make a $10,000 bet at a presidential debate. He says “corporations are people.” And he likes “being able to fire people who provide services to me.” And this is a man reputed to be a highly scripted campaigner who exercises iron discipline and eschews all risk. If the economy continues to improve, that fat-cat image will be the least of his problems.

Mitt Romney’s Problem Is That He’s ‘A Weirdo From Boston’ - Mediaite

“I think Mitt Romney’s problem,” Ratigan said, “is more that he’s just kind of a weirdo from Boston. It’s less that he’s rich or poor; it’s more that he’s just kind of a strange guy that doesn’t relate to people that well. If he was poor, he wouldn’t relate to people that well, if he’s rich, he doesn’t relate to people that well. He’s just kind of a strange dude. Romney also wants to be included, Ratigan added, among the “super elite” and the cool kids.

So ‘weird’: Mitt, Mormonism and the media

Mitt Romney is “weird.” At least he is sometimes to some in the Obama campaign. He’s “slick,” with an “innate phoniness” and “personal awkwardness.” Oh, and just coincidentally, Romney’s a Mormon.
Back in August, as Politico reported, a “senior Obama adviser” and “about a dozen” other surrogates suddenly carpet-bombed Romney with “weird.” They weren’t worried about Romney in the general election: he’s kind of weird and the public won’t be comfortable with him.

Politico noted that “none of the Obama advisers interviewed made any suggestion that Romney’s personal qualities would be connected to his minority Mormon faith but the step from casting Romney as a bit off to raising questions about religion may not be a large step for some of the incumbent’s supporters.”
Just a couple of days later, Obama honcho David Axelrod’s mustache twitched indignantly that “weird” was off-limits, and using the word against Romney was a fire-able offense. Of course, even the liberal Huffington Post observed the “weird” punishment “won’t apply to the numerous aforementioned advisers who have now very firmly planted the idea that Mitt Romney is ‘weird’ in the public’s consciousness.”

Mitt Romney, weird? Perish the thought

by Alan Wirzbicki August 11, 2011

Politico caused an uproar on the campaign trail this week with a report that the Obama campaign was gearing up for a negative onslaught against Mitt Romney if he's the Republican nominee, targeting what Democratic advisers termed his "innate phoniness" and "weirdness factor."
Some of Romney's defenders discern a disturbing code at work, accusing Democrats of using weird as a code word for "Mormon." Yet, Mormon or not, the former Massachusetts governor sometimes really is, well, weird, as Globe columnist Scot Lehigh pointed out in a 2007 column.

FOR THE LAST few mornings, I've lingered over the breakfast table, reading all about Mitt Romney, from his Michigan boyhood to his boffo business career to his determined days as chief of the 2002 Winter Olympics. And what do I come away thinking? One: Poor Seamus Romney.
And: Does a vacuum periodically settle in between the ears of the Mighty Mighty Mittster, rather like one of those low-pressure areas that sometimes stalls for days on end over New England?
Seamus was the Romneys' former mutt — ah, actually, make that a distinguished canine gentleman of Irish extraction — who, we learned on Wednesday, found himself ignominiously placed in a carrier atop the family station wagon back in 1983 as the Romneys embarked on a 12-hour drive to a vacation home Mitt's parents had on Lake Huron.
Now, Mitt had apparently rigged up some sort of windshield for the carrier. And the trip was made during the summer, so I suppose it's not exactly the equivalent of the long frosty December ride in an open carriage that supposedly nosed Beethoven toward his final decline.
Still, the treatment of loyal old Seamus struck me as a rum thing indeed, as Bertie Wooster might say.
It seems to have struck Seamus even more viscerally, at least from what one infers from our account of his not-so-excellent adventure. At some point, the unfortunate fellow evidently developed gastrointestinal distress, which made itself manifest in a plume of brown liquid leaching down over the back window.
And who, really, can blame Seamus, riding up there alone and forgotten, eyeing each approaching overpass and anxiously wondering if Mitt had calculated the clearances correctly, while the rest of the Romneys were safely ensconced in the vehicle below, no doubt whiling away the hours with joyous renditions of "This land is your land, this land is my land"?
I'm not a dog owner, so I can't say with certainty what the right answer would have been here, but somehow I suspect that if the question of what to do with Seamus was presented as a Harvard Business School case study, the remedy Mitt arrived at would not be widely seized upon as the most intelligent choice.

Romney's in the doghouse with some voters

Mormonism and Mitt Romney’s “Weirdness”

Thanks to the current spate of awful economic news, we pretty much know what kind of re-election campaign Barack Obama is going to wage: A relentlessly negative one, which, like George W. Bush’s re-election campaign against John Kerry, will focus almost exclusively on making the challenger seem unacceptable rather than defending the sitting president’s accomplishments. Thanks to Ben Smith at Politico, we also know roughly how the White House plans to “destroy Mitt Romney,” if he turns out to be that challenger: By “attacking him as inauthentic, unprincipled and, in a word used repeatedly by Obama’s advisers in about a dozen interviews, ‘weird.’”
Weird how, you ask? Here’s Smith:

The character attacks on Romney will focus on what critics view as a makeover, both personal (skinny jeans) and political (abortion) … Democrats also plan to amplify what Obama strategists described as the “weirdness” quotient, the sum of awkward public encounters and famous off-kilter anecdotes, first among them the tale of Romney having strapped his dog to the roof of his car.
None of the Obama advisers interviewed made any suggestion that Romney’s personal qualities would be connected to his minority Mormon faith, but the step from casting Romney as a bit off to raising questions about religion may not be a large step for some of the incumbent’s supporters.
Indeed. The crucial thing to understand here is that Romney’s Latter Day Saint affiliation isn’t just a potential liability among evangelical voters in Republican primaries. It’s a potential general election liability as well. In a recent Gallup poll, 18 percent of Republicans described themselves as unwilling to vote for a Mormon candidate — but that number actually climbed to 19 percent among Independents, and 27 percent among Democrats.

*******
Ok forgive me folks because I have been laid out for more than a week recovering so my rant tank is kinda low and I have to build it up again. I try not to be so seemingly hard on Romney but I can’t help it this is the state of the Republican Party and why this is so exceedingly hard for me to deal with the fact that the GOP can’t find a legit candidate to run for president.

If you want to hire dude to run a business or even a Fortune 500 company fine because I nor his employees don’t have to deal with the reality of his “weirdness” or his “Mormonism” because nobody would give a shit the only thing anyone who worked for him would care about is rather or not the paychecks were coming in. The reality of politics is we care about every damn thing, should we give a damn if he is a Mormon maybe not. However this is a land of differing cultures, ideologies and faiths and like it or not some rate higher on the sociological totem pole than others and when it is down to deciding on electing some “weird” Mormon dude who thinks that we all can be gods and wear funny underwear let’s face it some will cringe at the notion.

Now I had a friend tell me while he is no Romney fan and thinks that Mormonism is nothing more than a mind altering cult it is no weirder than Christian’s belief that some dude rose from the dead, watches over all our daily activities and that we either ascend up to heaven above the clouds or eternally burn in a perpetual torture chamber looked upon by some dude with horns growing out of his head.

During a political campaign anything and everything goes and I said time and time again that by the time Obama’s media machine get through slamming Romney’s Mormonism and his “weirdness” down our collective throats no matter how much we dislike Obama the least it will do is keep many from the polls on election day.

I’ve read analysis from so many pundits and heard the wisdom from political insiders I know and all assume that Romney is the right man to take down Obama and that is simply a pipe dream. People just imagine as we get closer to Election Day and imagine in churches all over America as they break down Mormonism and discover all of the “weirdness” this particular religion entails.
Imagine in black churches all over the country as fired up pastors stomp around the pulpits stirring up congregations urging them to support Obama and keep that white devil cultists out of the White House.

As the article above states “18 percent of Republicans described themselves as unwilling to vote for a Mormon candidate.” That is a pretty significant figure and I’m inclined to think that number is higher, how do you combat overcoming a voters particular faith and trying to convince them to vote for someone when their religious affiliation differs significantly than their own?

The fact that the top political strategist on the GOP side refuse to acknowledge this is a little alarming and shows how completely out of touch the GOP is in general. Folks look I’m not bashing Romney just for the hell of it, let get real - dude is weird and woefully out of touch and the Democrats will exploit this and Romney will only add to the legitimacy of this argument the next time dude tried to sing at a campaign event. He has the personality of a garden gnome and is about as trustworthy as a used car salesman and changes his mind on an issue after each bowel movement.

Although he will have the money to buy the nomination and the political backing of many who will make his ascension to GOP nominee status easier make no mistake he is a horrible choice but seemingly the only choice for a political party that can’t get out of its own way and seemingly incapable of cultivating new “electable” political talent. This is not only bad for the party but the country as well because of this incompetence we will be stuck with Obama for four more years!

I'm alive... barely :-)

Good Morning Peeps:

Sorry for the absence, I was out all last week due to some fairly major health issues. Since I don’t have internet at home I manages to stay away from the internet for a whopping 10 days!

So let me catch up on some reading and I will get back to it.

Peace

We don’t dislike Obama because he is black we dislike him because he is incompetent!

noreply@blogger.com (Gaius Lawrenitis Negris) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:40:00 +0000

Let me be clear, do I still think that racism still exists in American of course I do.

Are there white people out there that if given the chance would be dragging my black ass off to the next boat bound for Africa? Certainly!

Never mind the fact that in my family background I have more Irish, German and Native American in my family tree than I do any African.

You see this is why I increasingly have little hope that society will become more civilized because human beings, as long as we stay ignorant as to what lies out there in the greater beyond in the form of life we will continue to screw each other over using something as insignificant as skin color, race, creed, religion whatever.

I know for a fact that simply because of my skin color, no matter how sterling my work background some rednecks out there won’t hire me.

I know for a fact that certain people would have serious issues if I were dating their daughter and she even remotely considered a black man, some no doubt would be bought to tears at the very notion.

Drive into the wrong trailer park, be caught driving into the wrong upscale neighborhoods, driving a car with shiny rims would draw an unwarranted amount of attention for those who share my skin pigmentation.

So folks before I go on I get it, racism does exist and it sucks, but to suggest as some on the left still claim and what clueless black folks claim America’s collective angst against Obama is racial in nature is just ridiculous.

Let me be blunt if Obama were successful at running the country that would mean that white folks would have jobs, white folks would have more money in their pockets, businesses particularly small businesses would be flourishing, fewer white people would be on welfare, more white people could take fancy vacations there all would be good.

If Obama were doing the right things I sure as hell would not be spending my time ranting and bitching about how much he sucks at being president. What would be the point?

You Obama fans ask yourself, why bitch about Obama if there were no reason to do so?

Many American’s only care about one thing “green” not “black.” I don’t give a shit if a Ferengi was president, if dude did his job and bought prosperity and jobs to all shit I would be trying to get dude a third term.

This is why black folks support for Obama is perplexing, as I said he clearly is detached from black folks and has done nothing to earn their loyalty but to cry that continued critique of him is purely racial is just stupid.

Barack Obama has been involved in two elections that suggest that racism is no longer operative. His Senate run in Illinois and of course his ascension to the American presidency.

White voters proved willing to support a black candidate, not only did white folks showed that they were willing to support a black candidate they over performed in what some have said was their repudiation of naked electoral racism, electing Obama with a higher percentage of white votes than either Kerry or Gore earned.

No amount of backlash can diminish the importance of these electoral results. We have not landed on the shores of post racial utopia, but we have solid empirical evidence of a profound and important shift in America’s electoral politics.

There is one astonishing thing I’ve been reading on black websites and blogs and that is black folks collective angst that the liberal whites that voted for Obama and are now abandoning him are holding him to a higher standard than they would a white politician in the same position.

Basically what they say is if old-fashioned electoral racism is the absolute unwillingness to vote for a black candidate, then white folks liberal electoral racism is the willingness to abandon a black candidate when he is just as competent as his white predecessors.

To me this logic is simply political affirmative action. So according to these black folks we should forgive Obama’s absolute incompetence and “give a brotha a break.”

I’ve been floored by this commentary but not shocked, but the bottom line is I don’t give a shit what color the president is. I’m black and I never, ever liked nor trusted Obama and it does not have shit to do with his skin shade my problems with him are purely philosophical in nature.

What you will eventually see as the election grows closer are historical comparisons between Obama and someone like Clinton to try and paint some rosy picture that we are not as bad off as it appears.

In 1996 President Clinton was re-elected with a coalition more robust and a general election result more favorable than his first win. His vote share among women increased from 46 to 53 percent, among blacks from 83 to 84 percent, among independents from 38 to 42 percent, and among whites from 39 to 43 percent.

President Obama has experienced a swift and steep decline in support among white Americans from 61 percent in 2009 to 33 percent now.

I guarantee you that blacks will attribute some vain of racism to declining support towards the once clueless white liberals utter disappointment in choosing a black man for president that did not prove to be salvation for them or the nation as they dreamed of.

Whitey threw out over $500 million online alone dude set a record for political fundraising, clueless yes, racist hardly.

Obama’s record will be compared to Clinton’s in many ways and Clinton was enthusiastically re-elected.

For now we are listening to the subtle forms of the race card bias towards those who shouts out Obama’s complete incompetence. However watch as the racist whitey claims won’t be as subtle as the 2012 election grows near.

If someone is not doing the job to a satisfactory level you should get rid of them, that is our right as a voter. It is ridiculous to assume that all of our collective angst would solely be because many may not like his skin shade proof that common sense has clearly escaped many of us.

Hey Negro Obama Fans: How much does dude have to screw you before you say enough is enough!?

noreply@blogger.com (Gaius Lawrenitis Negris) — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 19:13:00 +0000

Are black folks retarded, I mean seriously! Yes those of you who accidentally found yourself here in case you are wondering I indeed am of the Negro persuasion.

I listened to a couple of black radio stations this morning and I heard these radio personalities singing the praises of Obama and hoping the mindless Negro minions grant a brotha 4 more years to pimp his liberalism.

This fits into the quote I also read this morning where the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus said “blacks won’t “march on the White House” over the high unemployment rate in the black community because Barack Obama is black.

Folks forgive me, I’m not shocked by this I only feel the need to rant because maybe an entire race of people need to engage in to political mental health screening.

Barack Obama has failed black Americans more than any other demographic as he is personally responsible for unemployment soaring to what some deem as depression-era levels. Unemployment among the black community has rocketed to 16 per cent during Obama's term but Negros obviously don’t give a fuck so why should I?

You can talk to Negros until you are blue in the face screaming from the tops of ghetto high-rises trying to educate people that unemployment levels for Negros are the same as the depression era in 129 and up from 12.7 per cent when Obama was inaugurated and Negros joyfully wept in January 2009.

Thanks to Obama Negro joblessness stands at 16.2 percent. For black males, unemployment is 17.5 per cent while black teenagers have a 41 per cent unemployment rate up from 36.3 percent when Obama was elected.

Negros could not have done worse if George Wallace or David Duke themselves were blocking the doors to the employment offices across the nation. However you black folks watching your brothas and sistas struggle in the hoods across America are perfectly willing to grant Obama 4 more years to fuck you over while no doubt many of you have his mug hanging over your fire places.

You know one signature event told me just how little Obama gave a fuck about the well-being of black folks. Think about that time period when BP was dumping oil into the gulf. Obama sat on his ass and did nothing as thousands of black folks in the gulf region were adversely affected. The devastation that took place caused the economic well-being of the various fishers (many who were black) in the gulf were no less grave than what happened during Katrina, the loss of income is the loss of income. The oil spill was a major disaster that devastated the lives of black folks and Obama did not do jack. Shit Kanye produced a video of outrage calling Bush’s character into question flat out calling him racist, but calling Obama “racist” for essentially doing the same “ignore the plight of blacks or the poor” that would be crazy right?

Now don’t get me wrong I understand more than most that a president is a president to all American citizens, but as we all know America is only as strong as its weakest citizens whether they be white, black, yellow or brown.

Even I must admit, even though I have never said it out loud or written it here, I did at least think he would attempt to be a beacon for positive change within the black community, throw a few bones out there to provide that hope that could change the mental direction of millions of black folks, especially black youth.

However he has not even pretended to give a shit about black folks. Except for giving some of his homies cushy appointments in his cabinet, had barbecues for his rich rapper, sports and Hollywood homies on the WhiteHouse lawn and gave seed money to members of the black press and bloggers so they could write nice stuff about him allowing these fawning sellout Negros oval office access.

I still talk to blacks who still do not know (thanks to the media) that Obama even ignored the plight of his own brother:

"there is something very disquieting about a man who has risen from humble origins and achieved enormous financial and social success, ignoring the plight of his kin. Obama cannot pretend he was unable to help his half brother. Not only had he seen him recently, he has all the resources of a United States senator at his disposal. He could have easily found George and, with a modest investment from his considerable salary, not to mention the millions he made capitalizing on his African roots, helped him escape his circumstances." (source)

Dude could give a shit about his own brother, think he is in tuned with anyone unless it helps his political stock?
Instead of confronting real the issues Negros face black websites and blogs roll out the same anti-Republican, anti-conservative diatribes flat out ignoring Obama’s remarkable incompetence. Hell if someone threw me a few dead presidents I could find something nice to say about the man.

Theses news websites or blog sources won’t talk about out of wedlock births, crime in the hood, sinking opportunities for black men and the lack of basic services in so many black neighborhoods like parks for kids to play in, police walking the beat, regular garbage pick-up and building code enforcement knowing that not seriously addressing helps create a cycle of violence, blight and neglect that continue to haunt those affected. All made worse during Obama reign as supreme leader, I do recall black folks saying he was here to save them and that has not happened unless I’m missing something.

Why should you care? Well, when a person is out of work regardless of color we all pay for it. When a person is not educated or undereducated we all pay for it. When a child is hungry and steals to satisfy their hunger we all suffer. When a woman settles for some loser unemployed dude and the result is another unwanted child we all raise and pay for that child.

When people look around and see their world crashing around them, believe me eventually they will attempt to cash your world, and Obama knows this all too well.

Ok Black America sit on your hands and do nothing, blame Congress that is easy, blame Republicans that is also easy, blame sell-out Uncle Tom’s like me feel free to ignore reality. But go home to your neighborhoods and look around, walk around your neighborhoods if you are able and ask yourself why does shit look like this, why are so many that look like me still unemployed, unable to find jobs and take advantage of opportunities. Where has this president failed me? Well take the Keystone project

Keystone a $7 billion private sector project that would have given us energy and given us jobs lots of them, but Obama said fuck that I would rather help out Warren Buffet, and appease idiot environmentalists.

And in case you forgot remember this: Obama Gives Gulf Oil Drilling Permit toBrazil; Continues To Deny American Permits.

I know if you are black or an Obama fan or both you won’t read or care so screw it.

So Obama screws you out of jobs and makes your energy/gas prices higher oh so I don’t know maybe when you brothas and sistas can’t go out to the clubs and down some Hennessy and meet up with your jump-offs maybe you might start paying attention.

Folks you want to know how insidious this president is aside from the obvious (I read some parts of his SOTU speech, dude makes Bill Clinton’s lies seem saintly) remember when Obama was running for office in 2008 you almost never saw darkies in camera shots or in his campaign commercials because he wanted to make whitey comfortable to assure them that white people would not be rounded up and taken into custody and sold as slaves as many black people thought (folks I’m not joking). He will have darkies flanking him and in camera shots all the time in this campaign. He needs black folks in a big way and although he has totally fucked black folks he desperately needs them to keep on message. Obama: “I know you are hurting and times are tough, but I need fo mo years to hook my peeps up, I’m axin fo yo suppot”

Lots of military; one sentence on Obamacare - Weekly Standard

Interesting juxtaposition: President Obama started off and ended up with salutes to the U.S. military--and, as far as I could count, spent only one sentence defending the signal legislative achievement of his presidency, Obamacare.

******

Right now, Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary … Tax reform should follow the Buffett rule: If you make more than $1 million a year, you should not pay less than 30 percent in taxes … Now, you can call this class warfare all you want. But asking a billionaire to pay at least as much as his secretary in taxes? Most Americans would call that common sense.

(Boortz) "Here we have a benefit flowing to Obama from our government education system. We have government educated voters in this country who couldn’t tell you the difference between a profit and a profit margin if their refundable tax credits depended on it. In fact, they don’t understand the difference between a standard tax credit and a refundable tax credit – but that’s another story.

Let’s be blunt (not difficult for me). The statement that “Warren Buffet pays a lower tax rate than his secretary” is an intentional, premeditated lie. This statement was aimed at government educated idiots predisposed by three years of Obama class warfare rhetoric to hate the wealthy. Here are two absolute and profound truths for you to digest:

Warren Buffet pays EXACTLY the same tax rate as his secretary pays on the same taxable earned income.

Warren Buffet’s secretary pays EXACTLY the same tax rate on her capital gains as does Warren Buffet.

Look closely at Obama’s statement. He says that Buffet pays a lowe TAX rate than his secretary, not a lower INCOME TAX rate. The point is that Obama is paying an entirely different tax in Obama’s scenario. He’s paying capital gains taxes, she’s paying income taxes. The capital gains tax rate is fixed at 15% .. for both Buffet AND his secretary. The income tax rate ranges from 15% to 35%, and both Buffet and his secretary will pay the same rate on the same level of taxable earned income.

So now we have Obama saying that the rich – those with income of over one million a year – should pay no less than 30% in taxes. Here we have Obama calling for a 30% capital gains tax rate. This would be devastating for our economy. If you want to talk about chasing wealth overseas – a 30% capital gains tax rate would do it."

The Congressional Black Caucus says that voter ID laws popping up around the country are aimed at making it harder for Obama to win re-election.

The chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus says blacks won’t “march on the White House” over the high unemployment rate in the black community because Barack Obama is black.

Monica Crowley: “Alinsky Dedicated His Book to Lucifer… And Obama Taught Alinsky” - Gateway Pundit (video at site)

Pure evil. Last night Monica Crowley told Bill O’Reilly that Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer… And, Obama taught Alinsky tactics to university students.

Barack Obama taught the principles of Saul Alinsky in Chicago. Notice the flow chart indicating the flow of money and power out of productive businesses (“CORP”) and into the political class (“MAYOR”). The heading at the top reads “POWER ANALYSIS”. The sub-heading reads “RELATIONSHIPS BUILD ON SELF INTEREST”. The symbol on the arrow between “CORP” and “MAYOR” is the “$” sign.
Saul Alinsky came up with the idea of power analysis, which looks at relationships built on self-interest between corporations, banks and utilities. Barack Obama taught students in Chicago the Alinsky Principles.

CNN Bypasses Obama-Alinsky Ties, but Links Tea Party to Alinsky - Media Research Center

CNN's Soledad O'Brien would not brand Saul Alinsky as a leftist radical, and neither would she say President Obama was influenced by his writings – but she had no problem tying Alinsky's controversial beliefs to the Tea Party movement on Monday's Starting Line. As a community organizer in Chicago, Barack Obama mirrored the tactics Alinsky laid out in his book "Rules for Radicals" – which featured a tribute to the devil Lucifer, "the very first radical." GOP candidate Newt Gingrich has recently connected Obama's beliefs with Alinsky's, sparking a media debate over the matter.
O'Brien wanted to set the story straight on Monday, and delivered a neutral take on the controversial community organizer. "He spent his life helping minorities in poor neighborhoods exert their political force by organizing them to get to the polls," she stated. Then she hastily dismissed a connection between Obama and Alinsky. "President Obama has never said that he was influenced by Alinsky. In fact, he was 10 years old when Alinsky passed away." It was a rather brief dismissal of evidence that Obama's Chicago mentors learned at a school founded by Alinsky.

This is what Saul Alinsky taught and what the self proclaimed Community Organizer Barack Obama is practicing on the whole nation. He is not out to unite but to "rub raw" the resentments of the people and fan their latent hostilities and divide the nation following Saul Alinsky's teachings. Obama is a revolutionary out to destroy America as we knew it. The words of Saul Alinsky on the role of the community organizer from Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals.

""'The organizer's first job is to create the issues or problems,' and 'organizations must be based on many issues.' The organizer 'must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.'"

What the first Obama cliche of the State of the Union Address be?

Hey Obama or one of his minions if you read this before the SOTU.

I hope your SOTU speech includes an apology, an apology for screwing this country up for us low rent folks. Because of you the country is in more debt than ever before, gas is higher and food is higher (see below). Your approval ratings are at an all-time low with disapproval ratings of 53% why they are not higher I don’t quite get it.

I read in an article that 19% thought the nation was headed in the right direction.

Who the fuck are these people? Really!? 19% of you think that this nation is going in the right direction… huh?

So I guess your SOTU diatribe will be geared towards the moronic 19%, many of those comprised of the fawning “I’m black and I’m proud” crowd who is content on supporting a brotha even when he is fucking you royally.

I tend to avoid ghettos because I am not comfortable with the people who live there but I bet things are not getting any better there either. Is the a fair assessment?

Well black folks has your boy Obama visited the hood lately, no of course not, he did not give a fuck about you people before the election… now a brotha will still need your support to keep the White House black and so that Michelle can live like a queen.

The rest of his supporters likely the Martini crowd, head bowing to a pile of blow without a care in the world because their son or daughters prep school is taken care of.

Oh and that stupid little tactic of having Warren’s secretary sit with your wife I mean come the fuck on really?

Let me let you in on something I don’t give a fuck about that bitches tax rate vs a billionaires because I bet that bitch makes a pretty good living and unlike many in this country I long ago abandoned… shit I never played the “class envy” card.

Someone please tell me why I should give a shit about WB’s secretary and what her tax rate is? I’m not about raising anyone’s taxes I’m about lowering them for everyone and as many have argued there should not be a fucking IRS any damn way!

I suspect you will play that card to the hilt tonight but I won’t be watching because I already know what your teleprompter will tell you to say. As you and every Democrat before you and long after you are gone you will engage in platitudes aimed at tickling the brains of the least intelligent among us, those who lack simple common sense and who are unable to decipher when they are being lied to and who are unable to spot a conn man even while staring he or she in the face.

Democrats have been wildly successful playing to the emotions of simpletons.

I know only a few brave or better yet bored souls read my rants, hell most that support you remain as ignorant as they wanna be despite having access to so much knowledge, so ignorance is therefore a choice.

Ignorance and media malpractice is your security blanket. Ignorance as a famous radio talk show host once said long ago “is what allows liberalism (thereby you) to prosper.” While the rest of the nation suffers as a result.

If Newt’s Divorce is Fair Game, So is Obama’s Cocaine Use

CNN’s John King was correct to bring up Newt Gingrich’s divorce and his ex-wife’s comments about “open marriage.” Discussions of the candidates personal life are fair game to allow the public to fully understand the character of those that want to run in this next Presidential election.

But Barack Obama’s prior Cocaine use MUST also be viewed as fair game for press inquiries, and the press should begin probing now. The public has not had this character flaw fully vetted due to the “Main Stream Media” fawning over Obama in the last election cycle. It is now time to have the press ask the following questions of Barack Obama so voters can fully understand this candidates background and character.

-       When was the last time Obama used cocaine and over what span of time did he use this illegal drug?

-       How often did he use it.

-       Did he purchase it or sell it and thereby commit a felony?

-       What other illegal substances has he used, when, and for what span of time? When was the last time?
It is time reporters such as NBC News Brian Williams, CBS News Scott Pelley, ABC News Jake Tapper, Fox News Bill O’Reilly, MSNBC Chuck Todd, and newspapers like the LA Times, NY Times, and Wall Street Journal ask these and other questions not yet fully probed.

Ok I had to take some time to recover from the devastating loss my team suffered in the playoffs. While I have not nor will I resort to Tweeting death threats to Mr. Williams I find it amazing how one player can destroy a team and a fan base simply because he is unable to catch and hold onto a fucking football!! Better yet genius if you can’t catch it RUN THE FUCK AWAY FROM IT!

But I’m not bitter… I will be ok… maybe not I’m still pissed at Roger Craig for fumbling away a chance at 3 straight titles and that was what 25 years ago… but I’m not bitter.

Anywho, to this article, is divorce fair game, absolutely not because divorce is simply a byproduct of human beings not being able to pick the right mate.

We change as we age or needs are different as we age; our priorities differ as we age.

I have never in my entire life seen a couple and said to myself damn those two people are perfect for each other.

We marry for completely the wrong reasons, sex, money, to curb loneliness or convenience we simply are not wired to know how to pick the correct mate and this does not have shit to do with how a man or a woman runs a business, or conducts their political affairs, or makes that an indication of their work habits.

Men are weak simple creatures, we are drawn to simple shit, a woman’s tits, ass, eyes, smile or the more complex among the males species may desire that his mate be able to cook, clean, fuck and impress the friends when you go out.

I really don’t give a shit about Newt’s marital affairs because as I said all men cheat, let me repeat all men cheat at some point and I have news for you more and more women are cheating than ever before so when we get a serious woman candidate for president are we going to develop a slut scale or hoe scale. I hope not because women need loving too.

Now as much as I hate Obama do I give a shit whether or not he did blow, no not even a little bit because just as the vast majority… no all men cheat the vast majority of men and yes again women too are getting fucked up with blow, Meth, Mary Jane name it.

I dislike Obama because he is an idiot and he is simply not good for the nation. Now can you argue that blow makes you too liberal or course not because people let me tell you I’ve known some very high profile people particularly those from the what you may call the wine and cheese crowd they get fucked up too all the damn time. Would I ever call into question someone’s character because of it no. Hell if I could afford to get fucked up more or was able to have a better quality of high I would. I also know a number of high functioning alcoholics as well.

Usually the people who worry or scare me the most are the ones who make judgment calls on an individual’s character because they themselves are seemingly perfect.

I don’t exactly know how you measure a person’s character these days because the bar has dropped so low these days so I sure as hell will not pretend that anyone running for president is not going to have a closet filled with all sorts of personal baggage.

Just don’t be a murderer, molest your children, pay you child support, steal from pension funds, be some racist fuck.

Just give me someone who gives a shit about the country, won’t sell us out to the highest bidder, who actually cares about America’s interest and who is not an idiot and can articulate a vision for the country while sober. What he or she does in between is simply not relevant to me.

15 Questions The Mainstream Media Would Ask Barack Obama If He Were A Republican - Townhall

1) Numerous Mexican citizens and an American citizen have been killed with weapons knowingly provided to criminals by our own government during Operation Fast and Furious. If Eric Holder was aware that was going on, do you think he should step down as Attorney General? Were you aware that was going on and if so, shouldn’t you resign?

2) In 2010 you said Solyndra, which gave your campaign a lot of money, was "leading the way toward a brighter and more prosperous future." Today, Solyndra is bankrupt and the taxpayers lost $500 million on loans that your administration was well aware might never be paid off when you made them. What do you say to people who say this is evidence of corruption in your administration?

3) Unions invested a lot of time and money in helping to get you elected. In return, they gained majority control of Chrysler, the taxpayers lost 14 billion dollars on General Motors, and General Motors received a special 45 billion dollar tax break. What do you say to people who view this as corruption on a scale never before seen in American history?

Obamanomics: Price Of Gas +83%, Ground Beef +24%, Bacon +22%...

(CNSNews.com) – So far, during the presidency of Barack Obama, the price of a gallon of gasoline has jumped 83 percent, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

During the same period, the price of ground beef has gone up 24 percent and price of bacon has gone up 22 percent.
When Obama entered the White House in January 2009, the city average price for one gallon of regular unleaded gasoline was $1.79, according to the BLS. (The figures are in nominal dollars: not adjusted for inflation.) Five months later in June, unleaded gasoline was $2.26 per gallon, an increase of 26 percent. By December 2011, the price of regular unleaded gas per gallon was $3.28, an 83 percent increase from January 2009.

Canada Pledges to Sell Oil to Asia After Obama Rejects Keystone Pipeline

"No mention of the pipeline decision. Or of the dribble of news about Solyndra and the politicized funding of “green” technology companies. Solyndra isn’t the only such company facing financial problems after receiving federal cash.Seems the only way to promote the image of a scandal-free Obama administration is to focus on the past misdeeds of and sensationalized reports about Republican candidates."

The Tuskegee Airmen Myths - CCC - Retarded White Racist Website

The media and the race hustling industry keeps re-inventing myths about the Tuskegee Airmen being invincible fighters.
Tuskegee University has published a paper on their website that tries to show a balanced and realistic portrayal of the black pilots during WWII.
The first mission assigned to black pilots was to strafe Axis fighters on a tiny Italian island. Their performance was considered poor because the black squadron fled from Axis planes, while members of two white squadrons engaged. Their was a congressional hearing on weather or not to disband the project. However, activist members of US congress protected the project. They believed that the pilots would serve as role models for black Americans.
However, for the duration of the war, the black pilots continued the same pattern. They would rarely engage or pursue enemy aircraft.
When you compare the records of fighter groups flying the advanced P-51 planes in the 15th Air Force, we see that white fighter groups scored 2.26 victories for every plane lost. This is 3.5 times the rate of the black fighter group.
In other words, white pilots flying the same planes and the same missions were 350% more effective. Think of this as an investment. For every dollar you invest in the black pilots yields $.66, while every dollar invested in the white pilots yields $2.26.

Can you comprehend just how fucking retarded and fucked up you have to be to have your self-esteem so screwed up as to disparage a group of black men who fought for this countries freedom?

Ok if you want to be an individual who points out the social faux pas of a given ethnic group because they deserve the ridicule then fine. Hell I do it all the time, but I am an equal opportunity social barker.

There are plenty of stories of idiot ass black folks engaging in ridiculous behaviors that not only contribute to the disintegration of American society but make us weaker as a nation as a whole.

However let’s not fool ourselves, to you racist honkeys out there while you are focusing your energies one the idiot acts of random darkies those who share your skin shade are fucking you behind your back.

For every black man committing a crime it is more likely he is shooting another black man. But the crimes you ignore committed by honkeys are the one with white people robbing individuals’ pension funds, stealing from churches, committing sexual assault on the behalf of the church, burying their infant children, committing political fraud.

I’ve always said that being a racist bastard is a simple mental disorder and I have always been fascinated at just how a human being gets that way.

There are a lot of mutherfuckers out there that I don’t like of all races religious affiliations, creeds, sexual orientation I don’t give a shit about someone’s color because it is retarded.

I was part of a family where no matter how good of a person or husband I tried to be there were members of this family that would never like nor accept me because I was a nigger. There were not hateful racists bastards; these were seemingly normal, average so-called Christian folks when the end came the true colors came out, but I always knew. While some tried to hide the racial disdain others like the people who frequent this particular website shout it on the mountain tops.

But ask yourself what is more dangerous, the honkey who smiles and pretends to accept you or the one who will at least have the stones to be honest about their true feelings.

Being a decent person will never ever be enough for some people, being someone who loves and supports his country is not enough for some people. Giving your life and dying for your country is not enough for some people.

People; the human societal dynamic is what is failing all of us and if we don’t reverse the ever increasing trend of assigning skin color to our scorn and disdain we all are accelerating the decline of this society.

Youth or Consequences

Today's parents always blame the authorities first.

Probably not what Dr. Martin Luther King meant when he spoke of being "free at last."
Last week, a judge in St. Louis released seven middle school students after the key witness failed to show up for a hearing. The juveniles were accused of beating a local man almost to death. What had the poor man done to deserve such a thrashing? Not a thing. He was simply walking home from the grocery store. The attack, it turned out, was part of a popular craze our local youth call the knockout game, though it is anything but a game. One elderly man has already died from a similar assault.
After the dismissal, the teens celebrated outside the courtroom, high-fiving one another.
Police had arrested the young thugs after they bragged about the beatings on a Facebook page. Evidently, the teens believed society could do nothing to them, even if they crowed publicly about their exploits. It turns out they were right.
One of the teens agreed to testify. However, the witness, a 13-year old girl, soon had second thoughts, no doubt after her life was threatened. The news seemed to re-enforce the notion (already prevalent among county residents) that St. Louis city is little more than a petri dish from hell, a holding pen for the region's most violent, a real-life "Escape from New York," the sci-fi movie in which the city has been turned into a giant maximum security prison without guards. (Ironically, director John Carpenter's film was shot, not in New York, but in St. Louis.)

Man charged in Independence mall shooting - Kansas City Missouri

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - Charges were filed Wednesday in the shooting of two teenagers last weekend at Independence Center.
Eric Bratton, 24, of Kansas City, Mo., was charged with two counts each of first-degree assault and armed criminal action.
The popular shopping mall was locked down just before 5 p.m. Saturday after the shooting while authorities rushed to the area near Sears and Forever 21.

Investigators released images of two persons of interest Saturday night. On Tuesday, authorities spent much of the day questioning two people in connection to the shooting.
According to court documents, Bratton and the male victim got into a fight outside the mall after Bratton made a comment about the female victim’s buttocks.
To read the entire probable cause statement click here , or go to http://bit.ly/zVdxLI.
A second unidentified person with Bratton pulled the two apart and the male victim thought it was all over, the documents said.
But according to the victim, Bratton followed him and his companion into the mall, urging him to “go outside” and “finish this.”
Bratton eventually pulled a semi-automatic handgun and shot both teenagers, prosecutors said. The male was shot in the thigh and the girl in the foot. They both sustained non-life-threatening injuries and were treated and released from an area hospital.

Want proof that some white people are equally as out of touch and ignorant asses too.

Check out this idiot headline…

White criminals are the most likely to get the death penalty

Recently the media has revived the lie that black criminals are more likely to get the death penalty. Even GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul has repeated this lie at two of the GOP debates.
Here are the facts:
Between 1975-2005, blacks committed 53% of all felony murders and 56% manslaughters. Black averaged 12% of the US population during this time period. Source: US DOJ, Bureau of Justice Statistics.

If the application of the death penalty was evenly distributed by race, then 53% of the people on death row would by black and 53% of the people executed would be black.
Here is a link to the most recent statistics of the application of the death penalty from the US DOJ, Bureau of Justice Statistics. The DOJ breaks it down into three racial categories. Black, Whites & Hispanics, and Asians & American Indians.
Only 41.5% of the inmates on death row are black. This means black murderers are substantially less likely to get the death penalty for murder.
Of the whopping 46 death row inmates executed in 2010 (out of 3,173), only 13 were black. This means only 28% of the death row inmates executed were black.
Fact: Blacks convicted of murder are significantly less likely to be sentenced to death than white murderers. Black inmates on death row are significantly less likely to actually be put to death than white inmates on death row.
The one people discrimination against by the judicial system is white people.

Amazing… simply fucking amazing at the utter level of insanity going on around us. This is not a white or black issue this is a societal issue. Black folks blaming whitey and whitey bitching about darkies and the thing is why would a racist give a fuck about black crime statistics because Niggas are killing each other any fucking way shit David Duke should be happy!

Note to the racists who happen to visit trust me when I tell you that white people are jacking up their gene pool on their own eve watch an episode of Maury? It is not like there are Ward Cleaver type dads out there raising happy healthy and sane white kids. They are fucking around on their wives and ignoring their children just like black men are they just do it in better neighborhoods.

And while you want to think that all the good little Becky’s are not getting into trouble visit a college town, I live in one. The Girl Gone Wild series did not become a multi-million dollar enterprise by taping in the ghetto!

Testing…1, 2, 3 is this thing on… anyone paying attention? Hey Obama you paying attention?

Pair Busted For Flaming Tampon Attack On Car - The Smoking Gun

Armed with flaming tampons--yes, flaming tampons--two young Pennsylvanians attempted to blow up a vehicle after severely vandalizing it, according to police.The bizarre January 7 incident outside a bar in Metal Township resulted in the arrest of Patricia Deshong, 25, and Quentin Deshong, 22, on a variety of charges, including attempted arson, public drunkenness, and criminal mischief.
According to State Police troopers, the Deshongs seriously damaged a 2006 Ford Fusion, which had its windshield and windows either cracked or broken, was covered with dents, and had blood on the front passenger seat. The car’s hood was also open and various hoses had been disconnected.

Racist or realistic? Fears Microsoft 'Avoid the Ghetto' app will damage economies of poor communities

Want to avoid the ghetto? There's an app for that. A Smartphone app to help people avoid unsafe neighborhoods has been accused of discrimination. The application, which is being developed by Microsoft, has already been nicknamed the 'Avoid The Ghetto' app.
But critics fears the app could damage local economies and steer tourists away from historically significant neighbourhoods- just because they have a high crime rate. Sarah E. Chinn, author of 'Technology and the Logic of American Racism,' told AOL the app is 'pretty appalling.' 'Of course, an application like this defines crime pretty narrowly, since all crimes happen in all kinds of neighborhoods.' 'I can't imagine that there aren't perpetrators of domestic violence, petty and insignificant drug possession, fraud, theft, and rape in every area.' Opponents fear the data-operated app could damage minority communities and hinder economic development in the areas most in need of it. Dallas National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) President Juanita Wallace told CBS: 'I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens.'

********

Dallas NAACP Angry About Avoid Ghetto App

The NAACP is angry (link)

Well I predicted this would happen. Yesterday the NAACP in Dallas decided that they were angry about the app referred to as the “Avoid The Ghetto” app. Microsoft has developed the tool to help drivers and pedestrians avoid unsafe neighborhoods. According to CBS DFW,

“I’m going to be up in arms about it if it happens,” said Dallas NAACP President Juanita Wallace.
Wallace spent her afternoon at a rally on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and said she felt safe there, but fears the app may project otherwise.
“Can you imagine me not being able to go to MLK Blvd. because my GPS says that’s a dangerous crime area? I can’t even imagine that,” she said.
Microsoft says the app will use crime statistics to determine what parts of town are to be avoided. But it’s unclear where the data will come from and how it will be interpreted.
Microsoft has filed a patent for the app, but the actual product is unnamed and not available yet.
Opponents like Wallace fear it could hurt minority communities.
“It’s almost like gerrymandering,” she said. “It’s stereotyping for sure and without a doubt; I can’t emphasize enough, it’s discriminatory.”
Here is yet another example of the NAACP being way off base. Instead of being upset that a neighborhood is actually ghetto and has a high crime rate, they get upset that someone has called them out on it. Instead of actually doing something to better the neighborhood, they cry racism.

********

Microsoft Taking Heat for 'Avoid Ghetto' App - The Root

Microsoft Corp. is garnering criticism for a patent it filed for an "Avoid Ghetto" GPS app. The app, which links up with your GPS or smartphone, immediately notifies you when you are nearing a neighborhood with high crime statistics.For example, if you are driving through a safe neighborhood (statistically speaking) of Brooklyn, N.Y., and are nearing Brownsville, the app will most likely alert you. The same applies if you are driving somewhere near Southeast D.C.
The app has its share of critics, including Tammy Chin, author of Technology and the Logic of American Racism, who told AOL that the app could be considered racist. "It's pretty appalling. Of course, an application like this defines crime pretty narrowly, since all crimes happen in all kinds of neighborhoods. I can't imagine that there aren't perpetrators of domestic violence, petty and insignificant drug possession, fraud, theft and rape in every area."

C’mon white people have y’all gotten that fucking lazy? You mean to tell me you people have gotten that fucking dumb that common sense is vacated so much that when you are driving and you see block after block of abandoned or boarded up buildings with darkies on the corner drinking 40’s with pants sagging that the little light bulb does not flicker even a little bit to tell you this is not where the country club is located… The only reason for a white person to be driving in the hood is a criminal reason like some rich white dude buying drugs or to pick up his ghetto trick. You don’t wonder into the hood indiscriminately Look folks if I’m driving and see a bunch of tin can trailer dwellings with old beat up pick-up trucks with gun racks in em I’m know I’m in honkey town. I’m not going into a drinking establishment with a Confederate flag proudly displayed over the bar. Technology continues to make people just fucking stupid, it is amazing. Oh and for the NAACP I don’t care that they are bitching about this because they are a woefully irrelevant and meaningless organization any fucking way. They don’t give a shit about the social welfare of black people because black folks have been shooting, killing, robbing, raping HIVing and drugging one another forever and it is getting worse and they are not outraged about that so fuck em!

Obama’s Racial Politics: Barack Obama’s most disturbing legacy.

Food stamp nation? The White House says to blame the Republicans. REALLY!!??

Walter Williams talks about Barack Obama’s characterization of "you're-on-your-own economics."

There’s been a lot of talk of Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Here’s a look at the effective tax rates of the rich. By the way, this is a prime example of how the ObamaMedia will cover this story

A signature aspect of Barack Obama’s financial reform bill, Dodd-Frank, has become too costly and complex to enforce.

Michelle Malkin’s latest column is about the Democrats deciding to hold Obama’s nomination acceptance speech at Bank of America stadium.

Tax cheat Tim Geithner is going to start dipping into federal pension funds in order to give the Obama administration more credit to pay government bills.

Rev. Joseph Lowery says that “racism” is to blame for Obama’s problems.

ABC News Plans Explosive Interview With Newt's Second Wife

Look we all know the media wants to fuck with Newt because he keep bitch slapping media members in debates so they want to fuck him in any way they can by airing this interview with his ex-wife. Folks let me be clear about half of the cars you will drive by on the road there sit an individual in a fucked up marriage or relationship. Regardless of race or class or educational background, or religious affiliation (maybe except for Mormons, because Mormon men marry their fuck buddies) someone is fucking around on someone else. Some dude today will either reveal or will be caught fucking around on someone they claimed they loved. Shortly after that scorned woman will do whatever is necessary to make that dudes life a living fucking hell. My ex did it to me, tried to fuck me around in any way she could and although she would not admit it still hates my ass. I tried to extend the olive branch to her but hey I’m the evil lying guy who screwed her over. If I were to run for higher office I’m certain she would try to fuck me over even today. Now I will say the dissolution of our marriage was mostly my fault, I was not some cheating bastard as she may claim but I knew something was not right with me and my life but I’m human with a shit load of failings and flaws but at my core I’m a pretty decent guy. What is funny about the media trying to use Newts marriage failures against him is men AND women are grimacing at the revelations because anyone watching the train wreck is likely going through the same thing. Broken marriages and lack of love and understanding lead to a broken and fucked up society unfortunately with kids in the middle. A shitty marriage and relationship is just one small part of an unraveling human dynamic and there is nothing shocking about that. Bill Clinton likely fucked around on Hillary from day one, but just as most marriages the only reason they chose to stay together was out of sheer convenience. Most people stay married because of the kids, or finances or both. Two strangers sharing a dwelling making each other miserable and not giving a fuck about one another except for surface shit so what do they do? He does his thing and she does hers, happiness being a relatively new term is not even in the equation. My marriage departure while selfish was absolutely necessary because although I would have been better off financially because she made good money unless I addressed my own demons I would have only made her life worse. Divorce although fucked up sometimes is absolutely necessary to allow the other person to escape a life of complete and utter mental hell and to allow for personal and emotional growth and to pretend otherwise if just stupid and no amount of prayer or counseling can fix that. Marriages fail because frankly most people marry for completely the wrong reasons and once you cross a certain threshold in the relationship you say aw screw it I’ll give it a try. While single I am able to address issues I would have never been able to address staying in a circumstance where my psyche slowly deteriorated. I married twice for completely the wrong reasons and frankly it was completely unfair to both wives. Having said all of that… do I give a fuck about what happened between Newt and his wife hell no! I don’t give a shit… not even a little bit. All I want is a competent president, is Newt that I’m not sure but the actions of the media towards those on the right are becoming more appalling each day. Human failings are not a Democrat or Republican issue it is a human issue.

The Problem of a Romney Presidency - The American Prospect

The first is that Mitt's reputation for pandering is so firmly entrenched that it would make it easy for the Obama campaign to paint him as, well, an untrustworthy panderer who'll say anything to get elected. And since this has been widely viewed as Romney's principle character flaw for some time, it will be the topic of extensive press discussion during a general election. He won't be able to escape it.

*************

"If you don't want to spend the better part of the next year trying to drag this sad sack of Mitt across the finish line so he can disappoint us for the next four years, then stand up, speak out, and stop letting the mainstream media and a bunch of Beltway conservatives tell you that the race has to be over with just 1.8% of the delegates needed for a victory awarded. The Tea Party didn't rise up, fight Barack Obama, and help the GOP have its best year in half a century just to see the Republican Party ideologically slide all the way back to the pre-Reagan years as a reward. If the establishment manages to grease the wheels for Mitt to such a degree that it turns out he's unstoppable, then it's still better to go down brawling instead of supporting a candidate you know is a mediocrity because you think he's "probably going to win the nomination."

January 28, 2008:
McCain Fires Back at Romney

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — John McCain used his first appearance of the day to go after Mitt Romney for alleged “flip-flopping.”
At a shipyard in Jacksonville, Mr. McCain swatted aside Mr. Romney’s charge that he is a “liberal Democrat” by saying, “He is consistent. He has consistently taken both sides of every major issue. He has consistently flip flopped on every major issue.”
He cited as examples of flip-flopping Mr. Romney’s support, as governor of Massachusetts, for a regional greenhouse gas emissions control program, for a lenient policy toward illegal immigrants and for campaign finance revisions, all positions he has reversed as a presidential candidate.
“People, just look at his record as governor,” Mr. McCain said.”He has been entirely consistent. He has consistently taken two sides of every major issue, sometimes more than two. So congratulations.”

Mr. McCain also went after Mr. Romney for his work as head of Bain Capital, a leveraged-buyout firm. “As head of his ‘investment’ company he presided over the acquisition of companies that laid off thousands of workers.”
Barely pausing to catch his breath, he also answered Mr. Romney’s criticism of his sponsorship of global warming legislation, which Mr. Romney charged would cause steep increases in energy prices and drag down the American economy.
“If he thinks the American economy will suffer by us cleaning up the environment, reducing pollution, and embracing green technology, including nuclear power,” Mr. McCain said, “then we just have a profound difference of opinion.”

Did I or did I not say the left will pounce on Romney’s Mormonism. Well since the GOP has secured the nomination for him it is now time for them to enact their action plan…

Is Being Mormon a Problem for Romney? - Daily Kos

I told my parents several months ago that Romney was going to be the GOP candidate. Besides not believing me, my mother said, “But, he’s a Mormon.”

I’m not here to knock Mormons. I have known and been friends with many of them all my life. I have lived most of my life in AZ¸ and there are many towns in AZ that are considered Mormon enclaves, having been settled and still populated by mostly Mormons. St. John’s, St. Davidand Greer, to name a few. This is also true of Idaho and other states that border Utah.
When the Mormons were settling the west, Brigham Young sent many settlers to AZ to spread their territory and influence in a sparsely settled area at that time. Some of the towns are gone, many are still thriving. Lee’s Ferryon the Colorado River was a famous hideout for John D. Lee, who ended up being the only Mormon to be convicted and executed for the Mountain Meadows Massacre in Utah. It is still a place you can go and put your feet in the Colorado River.

I have read many books about Mormons and known many, but I’m not here to talk about their history or beliefs. I’m here to talk about how most Christians in this country do not consider Mormons traditional Christians. Since the GOP is made up of a large percentage of fundamentalist Christians, that’s a problem for Romney.
This could be one reason the LDS church is running ads in my state and other states called “I am a Mormon”. The people in the ads don’t talk about their beliefs. They talk about how they are scientists or teachers or some kind of a go getter, and then they end with “I am a Mormon.”
See. I’m normal. I’m Mormon.
But most fundamentalist Christians do not believe Mormons to be Christians like in this site asking:
Question: "I am a Mormon. Why should I consider becoming a Christian?" 

Mormonism teaches an inflated view of humanity that is completely inconsistent with biblical teaching. Mormonism teaches that any human can also become a god. Yet the Bible teaches repeatedly in hundreds of verses that we are all inherently sinful (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3:10-23; 8:7) and that God alone is God (1 Samuel 2:2; Isaiah 44:6,8; 46:9). Isaiah 43:10 records God’s own words: “Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me.” How Mormonism can assert that men will become gods in the face of such overwhelming scriptural evidence is a testimony to the depth of man’s desire to usurp God’s place, a desire born in the heart of Satan (Isaiah 14:14)

If anyone visiting this blog is a Romney fan let me be clear, this is not about attacking Mormonism. While I have my bias based on personal experience this is about electability. While in 2008 Romney was no real threat to get the nomination he of course has the nomination now. My issue with Ron Paul was simple electability; my issue with any candidate will always be electability. I’ve already had conversations with several I would say moderate more independent types those folks who are not particularly religious. I sent all links to a video you can find on You Tube an animated video about Mormons and they basically freaked and thought it was a spoof and it is in fact not a spoof. As harsh as the South Park episode was on Mormons it nailed them (I still laugh hysterically at the episode) “dumb, dumb, dumb” classic… Believe me when I tell you when Obama’s media machine starts their info campaign on Mormonism they will make damn sure the entire country knows what Mormonism is and that will destroy Romney’s campaign and I’m not even talking about his flip-flopping, tar baby, $10,000 bet bullshit. This is why I will say and keep saying making Romney the GOP challenger to Obama guarantees Obama a second term.

Black website asks:
Did Mitt Romney Lie About Father Marching With MLK?

In December 2007, Mitt Romney was asked by “Meet The Press” host Tim Russert about the history of racism in the Mormon church, which excluded African Americans from participation until 1978. Romney claimed that his father marched with Martin Luther King. Romney would also claim that he “saw his father march with Martin Luther King” in a speech about his Mormon faith earlier that month. In 1978, Mitt Romney would tell the Boston Globe that he and his father both marched with Martin Luther King.
The problem is, Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney, the former governor of Michigan, never marched with Martin Luther King. Mitt Romney would concede that fact to the Boston Globe in 2007. The Boston Phoenix could find no record of Mitt’s father, George marching with Martin Luther King at all.

February 2008: Lessons from the Fall of RomneyCare - Cato

By Michael Tanner
Michael Tanner is director of health and welfare studies at the Cato Institute. He is the author of Leviathan on the Right: How Big-Government Conservatism Brought Down the Republican Revolution and coauthor of Healthy Competition: What’s Holding Back Health Care and How to Free It, just released in a new edition.

When then-Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney signed into law the nation’s most far-reaching state health care reform proposal, it was widely expected to be a centerpiece of his presidential campaign. In fact Governor Romney bragged that he would "steal" the traditionally Democratic issue of health care. "Issues which have long been the province of the Democratic Party to claim as their own will increasingly move to the Republican side of the aisle," he told Bloomberg News Service shortly after signing the bill. He told other reporters that the biggest difference between his health care plan and Hillary Clinton’s was "mine got passed and hers didn’t."

Outside observers on both the Right and Left praised the program. Edmund Haislmaier of the Heritage Foundation hailed it as "one of the most promising strategies out there." And Hillary Clinton adviser Stuart Altman said, ‘‘The Massachusetts plan could become a catalyst and a galvanizing event at the national level, and a catalyst for other states."

Today, however, Romney seldom mentions his plan on the campaign trail. If pressed he maintains that he is "proud" of what he accomplished, while criticizing how the Democratic administration that succeeded him has implemented the program. Nevertheless, he now focuses on changing federal tax law in order to empower individuals to buy health insurance outside their employer, and on incentives for states to deregulate their insurance industry. He would also use block grants for both Medicaid and federal uncompensated care funds to encourage greater state innovation. He encourages states to experiment, but does not offer his own state as a model.

A Double Failure
There’s good reason for his change of position. The Massachusetts plan was supposed to accomplish two things-achieve universal health insurance coverage while controlling costs. As Romney wrote in the Wall Street Journal, "Every uninsured citizen in Massachusetts will soon have affordable health insurance and the costs of health care will be reduced." In reality, the plan has done neither.

Mitt and Mop - The American Spectator

When Newt Gingrich criticized Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, he raised the ire of many conservatives and may have unwittingly mobilized a Republican rank and file now prepared to bestow Romney with the GOP nomination on a silver platter.

Rush Limbaugh called Gingrich's criticisms "out of bounds for those who value the free market." Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was even blunter when he said, "What the hell are you doing, Newt? I expect this from Saul Alinsky!" But perhaps the most interesting defense of Romney came from Mike Huckabee, who took aim at both Gingrich and Texas Governor Rick Perry who famously accused Romney of practicing "vulture capitalism." Huckabee said, "It's surprising to see so many Republicans embrace that left-wing argument against capitalism." Yet in 2008, it was Huckabee who in a campaign ad aimed at Romney said, "I believe most Americans want their next President to remind them of the guy they work with, not the guy who laid them off."

Given that Romney has spent the vast majority of his professional life in the private sector and touts that experience in his bid for the White House, it seems strange that any criticism of that record from his Republican rivals is not only off limits but the equivalent of criticizing free enterprise itself. It is a curious line of argument when you consider that Bain Capital was the recipient of generous government grants, subsidies, and tax breaks and profited handsomely regardless of whether the companies in which it invested prospered or went into bankruptcy. Any business in which one can reap the rewards without suffering the consequences of risk can hardly be characterized as engaging in free enterprise.

Via Boortz: Perhaps you’ve seen it. Just one of dozens of news magazines covers to come featuring Barack Obama on the cover. This one, though, has a caption. It says “Why are Obama’s Critics so Dumb?” The accompany article is by Obama sycophant Andrew Sullivan, and it signals the beginning of an age-old Democrat theme in presidential elections: Conservatives are stupid, liberals are smart. Gerald Ford; clumsy and dumb. Ronald Reagan: dumb. George H.W. Bush, affable, but dumb. George W. Bush, dumb. Now if you are a critic of Barack Obama, you’re just dumb. What a surprise.

Look … there are going to be three constant themes during the campaign

Republicans and conservatives are ignorant.

Republicans and conservatives are racists.

Republicans are only for the rich.

Liberal rag Newsweek has a cover story entitled "Why Are Obama's Critics So Dumb?”

You know who is really dumb, those of you who thought that Obama was going to be a smart competent president.

This self-imposed dictator wannebe jackass woefully screwed up so much shit and the majority of us namely many of his ardent supporters are suffering as a result.

What is almost as worse for me is now we are being set-up to have Romney that fake ass bastard to run against Obama knowing there is no way in hell he will win a national election. My oft repeated rant, the more Americans find out what exactly Mormonism is the less likely they are to vote for one.

This is one of the most screwed up election scenarios imaginable.

Jon Huntsman made it official Monday – dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Mitt Romney.
What a shock a Mormon supporting a Mormon.

Five Ways Conservatives Will Have to Sell Their Souls if Romney Wins - Right Wing News/Townhall

If you were trying to come up with the atrocious candidate imaginable to go toe-to-toe with Barack Obama in 2012, you couldn't do much worse than Mitt Romney. He was an unpopular, moderate Governor who has lost 2 out of the 3 major elections he's run in and whose signature issue, Romneycare, was an enormous failure. Moreover, he's so uninspiring that he makes Bob Dole look like Ronald Reagan and that's before you consider that his incessant flip-flopping that makes it impossible to really know where he stands on any issue.
Romney's candidacy also runs counter to almost every political trend in the book right now. He's the antithesis of everything the Tea Party stands for. A moderate, establishment endorsed, principle free, Rockefeller Republican. On the other hand, he's like a bad guy straight out of central casting for the Occupy Wall Street crowd. A conscience free 1 percenter who makes $10,000 bets and lectures the public about how corporations are people while hordes of poor and middle class Americans that he fired trail in his wake telling tales of woe about how Romney made their lives into a living hell.
At one time, I thought both Gingrich and Perry were more electable than Romney. I have, however, reassessed and now believe Gingrich, Perry, Santorum, and even Huntsman, who just left the race, are ALL more electable than Mitt. It's also worth noting that all of those candidates, including Huntsman, are more conservative than Romney. It's mind boggling to consider the fact that if Romney wins, the conservative base will have chosen the guy behind Romneycare over the man behind the Contract with America, America's premier social conservative, and the best job creating governor in America, all of whom would also be more electable.

Mass. Gov. Romney Apologizes for 'Tar Baby' Comment

BOSTON — Gov. Mitt Romney has apologized for referring to the troubled Big Dig construction project as a "tar baby" during a fundraiser with Iowa Republicans, saying he didn't know anyone would be offended by the term some consider a racial epithet.

In a speech Saturday, Romney, a Republican considering a run for president in 2008, acknowledged he took a big political risk in taking control of the project after a fatal tunnel ceiling collapse, but said inaction would have been even worse. "The best thing politically would be to stay as far away from that tar baby as I can," he told a crowd of about 100 supporters in Ames, Iowa. Black leaders were outraged at his use of the term, which dates to the 19th century Uncle Remus stories, referring to a doll made of tar that traps Br'er Rabbit. It has come to be known as a way of describing a sticky mess, and has been used as a derogatory term for a black person. "Tar baby is a totally inappropriate phrase in the 21st century," said Larry Jones, a black Republican and civil rights activist. "He thinks he's presidential timber," Jones said. "But all he's shown us is arrogance."

noreply@blogger.com (Gaius Lawrenitis Negris) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:12:00 +0000

Recycled rant, 6th year.

***********************

Now this topic is something I know some of you white people may have pondered at one time or another. Why are there so many streets named after the great civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr?
However the more important question is, why are these streets, named after such an icon in this countries history, tend to be the most fucked up streets in Anytown, USA?

As we are close to celebrating King's birthday, more than 650 streets in the United States bear the civil rights leader's name. No other American enjoys such a distinction.
Soon after King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Blacks began a campaign to get a holiday named in his honor and to get streets and buildings named for him.

In fact, a school in Arequipa, Peru, has been named for the Nobel Peace Prize winner, and so has a library in Lusaka, Zambia. City governments and other organizations are still considering ways to memorialize King by using his name.
However, few address the ugly side of the King-name phenomenon and are generally ignored.

Chris Rock tells a joke that goes something like this: When a white friend told Chris Rock that he was on a street called Martin Luther King and asked what he should do, Chris Rock answered, "Run!" At another time and on a more serious note, Rock said: "I don't care where you live in America, if you're on Martin Luther King Boulevard, there's some violence going on."

Trust me folks, particularly you white people out there. I am not aware of any such MLK Boulevard where I would be comfortable walking at night, hell DURING THE DAY!
But in the zeal to honor King, folks forget to ask a few fundamental questions. Do most of the streets, boulevards and avenues named for King actually disgrace his great legacy?

I am from Oakland California. I remember reading some time ago about the street that was San Pablo Boulevard was being renamed MLK.
The street I remember was the center of prostitution, drugs, gang violence. I would be willing to bet that it is still a corridor of broad dilapidation, abandoned structures, vacant lots with junked vehicles and trash and debris, black-on-black beat downs, public drinking, ect. And yes even worse, perhaps, most of the viable businesses on this stretch of MLK are owned by people other than blacks a glaring testament to black powerlessness.

The reasons for this state of affairs are many and complex. From the beginning, streets named for King (at least significant segments of them) were in poor black neighborhoods. From the beginning, these streets were themselves symbols of segregation and decay. From the beginning, streets named for King were a "black thing." Black folks happily settled for streets in these places because this was all they were going to get from whites who were under fire from fellow whites to resist change.

Martin Luther King III, head of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the organization his father co-founded: uttered the following typical (anti-whitey rant)
"Most of the streets are still located in areas where they have been neglected. Their (white leaders') intentions were honorable, but, unfortunately, what they didn't do in most cases was to create the kind of street or area that would be an appropriate tribute."
On the surface, King's words are correct. But he fails to see the real source of the "neglect." The fault does not lie with white people. It lies with black people.
Martin Luther King Jr. was born and reared on a clean, quiet, middle-class street in Atlanta, that he grew up with strict conservative values, values such as serving your community, protecting and respecting your neighbors, hard work, thrift, sobriety, and cleanliness.
You won’t find that on any MLK Boulevard.
We should resolve to transform all King roadways into clean, well-lighted places that will attract businesses of all stripes, that will entice residents and tourists alike to spend time and money.
Simply naming a street after someone is not a tribute to King's legacy. It is an outrage. It disgraces the memory of one of the greatest figures of the last century.
Neither is it symbolic of a transformation of racial solidarity in our society.

Remember James Byrd, Jasper, Texas, where you can find the MLK street that James Byrd was walking on in 1998 when he accepted a ride from a group of white men who murdered him and dragged his body three miles with a pick-up truck.
Many of these street tributes are phony attempts to appease ignorant black folks into thinking that all is well and that whitey cares.
Here in Lawrence I wonder if changing our beloved main downtown Street, “Massachusetts” to Martin Luther King Street would go over with the liberals here?
Sounds like a letter to the editor. “To the Residents of Lawrence, its time we name some streets after black folks and not these damm states.”

Nutter Fumes After 3 Philadelphia Teens Killed In Apparent Reprisal Shooting

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Following a shooting Tuesday night in the Juniata section of the city that left three teens dead (see related story), Mayor Michael Nutter had strong words for the shooter, calling him “a dog.”
The outraged mayor also had strong words for the parents of Philadelphia’s youth, telling them “not to act like idiots and a–holes.”
While Nutter says he is gratified about the quick arrest in the multiple shooting, he is fuming that the victims were out on Tuesday night apparently looking for trouble. And he blames their parents.
“Seven young people, somewhere between 14 and 16 years old, on a Tuesday night, a school night, are out in a car going to somewhere to have a fight with some other teenager. That is completely insane, it is irresponsible. Parents have to know where their children are and what they are doing,” the mayor said.
“Their little butts should have either been in bed, getting ready for bed, or doing some homework,” Nutter added. “Not out in a car, not in some other neighborhood, and not up to this kind of nonsense. I’m not your mom and I’m not your dad. We cannot completely legislate, or by policy, make people responsible for their children.”

Black Teens Beat Up White Man Over N-Word Lecture

An Iraq War veteran was beaten up by a group of young black teenagers after he admonished them for saying the n-word and the b-word on public transportation.
Jim Hardie of Lacey, Wash., who has been riding the same bus for two years to go out looking for a job, decided to voice his feelings on a group of teens' use of the n-word.
"Given the nature of what we've gone through with the word 'n---er,' it's not appropriate to loosely throw that word around or refer to white women as white bitches, and I'd appreciate if they stopped that," said Hardie in the video.

******

The Food Stamp Fallacy - The Root

When will Republicans be honest about who really gets the most out of welfare programs?

The leaders of today's Republican Party are expert storytellers. When it comes to manipulating racial stereotypes for political gain, they are akin to animation artists of the 1920s: coloring the lines in black and white.
Last Thursday Newt Gingrich told a crowd of senior citizens in New Hampshire, "The African-American community should demand paychecks and not be satisfied with food stamps." Rick Santorum was even more egregious, claiming he doesn't "want to make black people's lives better by giving them other people's money" (although he later claimed that he never intentionally said "black").
Gingrich's latest offense comes only weeks after he received widespread criticism for saying that poor children should work as janitors and clean toilets. He specifically made a point of addressing "inner city" youths -- which has become conservative code for black and brown people everywhere, from the South to the coasts, the suburbs to the metropolises, regardless of where they actually live.
For some odd reason, this is acceptable rhetoric among the conservative political class. It is especially troubling because every reliable statistic shows that white Americans are the overwhelming beneficiaries of welfare in this country and make up the largest number of those in poverty by a wide and substantial margin. The Republicans' well-rehearsed lies on the subject have been so effective that people of every hue have come to believe them, feeding widespread ignorance about the true face of poverty and the ever-growing gap between America's rich and poor.
Perhaps it's time for a lesson in mathematics and history.

The Bain of Mitt Romney’s campaign - Politico

That ad would have been damaging had it appeared when it was produced nearly two decades ago. But it could take on new relevance in a 2012 campaign in which Romney is touting his business career as proof he can lead a national economic turnaround.

In every one of Romney’s campaigns, his time in the private sector — specifically, at the consulting firm Bain & Co. and the investment company Bain Capital — has been a double-edged credential, branding him as a savvy businessman while tying him to countless controversial management decisions.

Romney has served as chief executive at both Bain Capital, which he helped found in the 1980s, and Bain and Co., which launched his career and which he later helped rescue from failure.
When Romney challenged Sen. Ted Kennedy in 1994, it was his connection to those two companies that played a significant role in sinking his campaign as Democrats tied him to plant closings and worker firings.
In 2012, those familiar attacks from his past are likely to take on a new potency: Bain Capital’s involvement in mass layoffs is likely to haunt Romney in a campaign focused on jobs. Other episodes, such as the claims that Romney benefited from a federal bank rescue, could ignite anew.

Conservatives Are Being Played, Perry And Gingrich Are Right - Riehl World View

Sometimes the stupidity out here gets too much to take. This is one of those times. What is going on between Gingrich and Romney has nothing to do with a battle for, or over capitalism.

Mitt Romney is depicted as a financier “more ruthless than Wall Street” and a son of privilege responsible for laying off thousands of workers in a 28-minute film bankrolled by supporters of Newt Gingrich set to be released tomorrow in South Carolina.

Romney is not simply a capitalist, what he is is a corporatist. And it's that insulation that would allow him to bankrupt a steel mill, walk away from its pension obligations, pocketing millions and leaving taxpayers on the hook to bail it out. And that's the bullshit he and much of the GOP is selling as capitalism today in defending Romney.

Mitt Romney's Bain Capital Bailout: GOP Candidate's Firm Profited From Company That Required $44 Million Federal Bailout - Huffington Post

Ok yes I know I’ve received a few e-mails, I’m posting more shit about Romney than I am Obama, well that is because if Romney is the nominee Obama is guaranteed a second term.
Obama really want to run against Romney and is willing to do whatever is necessary to secure he gets the GOP nomination.
More Democrats Than Republicans Voted for Ron Paul in New Hampshire

Folks I’m a mildly intelligent Negro with just a touch more common sense than the average individual, with a wee bit more political knowledge and insight than the average person or professional pundit so few of you who take the time to visit me for a few minutes out of your busy day and even those of you who accidentally found this blog because you were searching for porn know this… I don’t trust Romney, not even a little bit, it is in my gut.

From the first time I heard his name and checked him out back in 2008 I did not like him. I had the same feeling about Obama, but unfortunately millions of clueless white people fell in love with him and sent is idiot ass money in record numbers to pave his way to the White House.

At least on the GOP side most seem to get the message and did not support Romney, I hope that common sense comes to the forefront before Romney puts the GOP nomination to bed.

Folks what is the old saying: “better the devil you know than the devil you don't know”

I don’t like Obama not even a little bit, but I know who and what he is and if the GOP can somehow wrestle control of congress and limit the damage Obama can do that would be my hope.

Like I said Romney capturing the GOP nomination would be a disaster and guarantees four more years of Obama.

But let’s just say by some miracle Romney does beat Obama his presidency will be a one term gig and set the GOP back further hurting the chances of upcoming GOP rising stars.

I’m one lonely voice in the wilderness, and just one unknown ranting Negro, but folks I trust my gut and I’m rarely wrong when I follow it, Romney is not the man we want up against Obama.

"Mitt Romney won tonight, because no one touched him -- and for Democrats that's good news for us." Stephanopoulos says, "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Why is that?" "Well, because we believe the weakest candidate is the candidate the Republicans are not attacking, and that's Romney," and Stephanopoulos says, "Oh, you don't believe that!" I guarantee she had a talking to. They had a talking to with her with her after this, because that's a major faux pas. The line that's supposed to come out of the Democrat Party is they're scared of Romney. The line is, "Oh, no, they don't want to face Romney. Romney is the toughest guy." That's the line, and they know, folks -- the Democrats know that our experts are stupid enough to believe that the Democrats will be honest and tell us who they really don't want to face.

On Romney, Bain and Keeping Your Integrity - Red State

Posted by Dan McLaughlin

The Bain storyline is a little more complicated, in part because there are a lot of angles to Bain’s business; while Romney’s record, as Jim Pethokoukis notes, includes a lot to be proud of, as Jonathan Last notes, you don’t have to necessarily take that business record as a whole if there are aspects worth defending and aspects worth criticizing.

A fair amount of what businesses like Bain do is to step in and take over businesses that are in bad shape. We have an ongoing debate in this country about what to do with failing businesses, but denying they’re failing is not an option – either you shutter or restructure them or you prop them up, and that raises the question of who gets stuck with the bill for propping them up. One of the great scandals of the past 5 years, which has given rise to the Tea Party and to some extent the Occupy Wall Street movement as well, has been the extent to which the answer to that question has been the taxpayers.

So, I don’t like seeing pro-free-market Republicans attacking the concept of what Bain does, any more than I liked seeing Romney attack Rick Perry from the left on entitlements. But just because the role of red-in-tooth-and-claw capitalists is a crucial and necessary one does not mean that they are likely to be popular candidates in today’s general election environment. Criminal defense lawyers, for example may be crucially necessary to our system of justice, but if they have represented a lot of unpopular clients, they are not likely to be politically viable. I continue to think that Romney’s business record is an under-explored political vulnerability (one Ted Kennedy used against Romney in 1994, but didn’t even use all the ads he cut) that the Democrats will exploit ruthlessly. And Romney’s existing defenses of that record are fairly weak.

Romney likens work at Bain Capital to Obama’s auto industry bailout

Romney’s critics have accused him of destroying jobs in order to increase profits for his investment firm, Bain Capital, but speaking Wednesday on CBS, Romney said that what he did was no different from the Obama administration’s auto industry bailouts.
“In the general election I’ll be pointing out that the president took the reins at General Motors and Chrysler – closed factories, closed dealerships laid off thousands and thousands of workers – he did it to try to save the business,” Romney said Wednesday on CBS.
President Obama has publicly touted his plan to “retool and restructure” the auto companies as “an investment in American workers.” Romney was strongly opposed to the auto bailouts, but on Wednesday likened the president’s strategy to his own.

Gallup: Majority of conservatives consider Romney “acceptable” ********

Mitt Romney’s biggest test: Can he connect with voters?

"Romney's life experience has at times been far different from the occasional snapshots he shares with voters on the stump. To take the most obvious example, in stressing his extensive private-sector background, Romney frequently downplays his long political career—and his pedigree as the son of a former Michigan governor and former top auto industry executive who also once ran for president.On Sunday, he told voters—as he frequently does—that he did not expect to run for president, in part to emphasize his argument that he's not a career politician.

"This is just a very strange and unusual thing to be in the middle of," Romney said in Rochester. "I mean, I was just a high school kid like everybody else with skinny legs. And, you know, I imagined that I'd be, you know, in business all my career. And somehow I backed into the chance to do this."

It was a claim that defied more than a little credulity, given that Romney is in the midst of his second presidential bid, which he unofficially kicked off almost as soon as he lost in 2008. What's more, Romney's awkward bid to depict himself as a political outsider reinforces what continues to be his biggest problem among voters: authenticity. Romney is trying hard to be the candidate of the people by insisting he's just like them--but in doing so, he's actually calling attention to the ways that his life experience has been so dramatically different than most average people."

Romney Has Yet To Court Black Conservatives

Romney has essentially won evangelicals and overcome the Mormon gap, which means he has overcome the uneasiness voters feel about the Mormon religion. For instance, Pew Research Center found that “53 percent of Evangelicals don’t even consider it to be a religion.” So Romney had long odds indeed to convert enough voters to win an extremely close race against Santorum, a die-hard social conservative, in Iowa. But he pulled it out.

Let’s face it, New Hampshire isn’t exactly a beacon of diversity. Whites accounted for more than 92 percent of the vote last night, with Asians and Latinos accounting for 5 percent. What’s most interesting about Romney’s values-based campaigning and wooing of evangelicals is that he seems to not think any of it is applicable to Black voters, particularly Black conservatives. Yet promoting faith-based initiatives and education reform is typically an easy way to woo Black voters, even for the GOP.

George W. Bush used both on his way to winning 16 percent of the Black vote in Ohio, a crucial swing state, in his 2004 reelection.

What does Romney’s education-reform plan look like? Good question, let everyone know when you find it. There’s no mention of education under the issues area on his site, mittromney.com. Quite odd for a candidate who clearly has taken advantage of his own educational opportunities, having earned two graduate degrees from Harvard (an MBA and a law degree), and invested in those of his family, sending three of his five sons to Harvard Business School.

Sarah Palin: Mainstream media and Barack Obama want Mitt Romney as nominee

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said the mainstream media and President Barack Obama “want to face Mitt Romney in the general election.” She made those comments on “Justice With Judge Jeanine” on FOX News on Saturday during the same time the Republican presidential candidates were debating in New Hampshire on ABC.

Palin said the mainstream media would take a hands-off approach to Romney “in order to bolster Romney’s chances” to “finally face Obama.”

According to Palin, the mainstream media and Obama would then portray Romney as someone who is out of touch with regular Americans in the general election.

“They are already gearing up to portray him, accurately or inaccurately … as being out of touch with the working class,” Palin said, noting that Romney’s wealth and perfect family may make it easy to paint him as someone “being a bit out of touch from working and middle class Americans and from the challenges we all face.”

Palin continued: “My opinion is that I can see what’s coming ... the media will try to bolster Romney so they can tear him down, and that is quite unfortunate.”
Palin then conceded that any of the candidates, though, would be better than Obama.

The more Mitt Romney evades speaking about his Mormon beliefs the more you want to ask him questions about it.

December 17, 2007

After the Today Show used video clips of me talking (ranting, to some) about the racist history of the Church of Latter Day Saints as a lead-in to Matt Lauer's interview of Mitt Romney, I feel compelled to clarify the obvious: religious affiliation is not a good reason to vote for or against a candidate for president. I mean any religious affiliation, including Scientology (if that's a religion). I know at least one Scientologist who would be a better president than many of the current candidates. I might know more, but they tend to be a bit secretive about being Scientologists, so ...

I don't hate Mormons. Some of my best friends are Mormons. Well, okay, one of my best friends is Mormon. Or used to be. He's not sure anymore. He's glad he grew up Mormon, likes the values he learned, the respect for family, etc. He's just not sure about some of the crazy beliefs of the religion. He would like to distance himself from some of that stuff and still be a Mormon -- the way Rudy Giuliani can be pro-abortion and very fond of divorce and sequential marriage and still be, or at least call himself, a Catholic. But Mormonism isn't as flexible as Catholicism. It's a hook, line and sinker deal. You buy it all -- every word of the Book of Mormon and its supplement, the Book of Abraham -- or you're not a Mormon. My friend is a surgeon. He says the Mormon doctors he knows are like him. They have doubts about some things in the books and there are some things in the books that they simply can no longer believe. He can't imagine any Mormon who graduates from medical school or Harvard Business School like Mitt Romney thinking any other way. But if Romney were to admit to such doubts and reservations, the Church of Latter Day Saints would be forced to say he is no longer a Mormon. And a candidate for president without a religion ... well, that could only happen on The West Wing.

Quotes from Mormon leaders about Blacks

(1831 - 1844) JOSEPH SMITH Discoverer of the Golden plates

First Prophet and President and Founder of the Mormon Church:

"Had I anything to do with the negro , I would confine them by strict law to their own species and put them on a national equalization.''

(1848 - 1877) BRIGHAM YOUNG 2nd Prophet and President

"You see some classes of the human family that are black, uncouth, uncomely, disagreeable, sad, low in their habits, wild, and seemingly without the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind.

"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so."

(1877 - 1887) JOHN TAYLOR 3rd Prophet and President

"...after the flood we are told that the curse that had been pronounced upon Cain was continued through Ham's wife, as he had married a wife of that seed. And why did it pass through the flood? Because it was necessary that the devil should have a representation a upon a the earth as well as God;.. "

(1901 - 1918) JOSEPH FIELDING SMITH 10th Prophet and President

"I would not want you to believe that we bear any animosity toward the Negro. "Darkies" are wonderful people, and they have their place in our church."

"Not only was Cain called upon to suffer, but because of his wickedness he became the father of an inferior race.

"... and they have been 'despised among all people.' This doctrine did not originate with President Brigham Young but was taught by the Prophet Joseph Smith ..."

BRUCE R. McCONKIE of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles

The negroes are not equal with other races when the receipt of certain spiritual blessings are concerned..."

...As a result of his rebellion, Cain was cursed with a dark skin; he became the father of the negroes"

"Cain Ham, and the whole negro race have _ cursed with a black skin, the mark of Cain, so they can be identified as a caste apart, a people with whom the other descendants of Adam should not intermarry."

MARK E. PETERSON of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles

"At least in the cases of the Lamanites and the negroes we have the definite word of the Lord Himself that He placed a dark skin upon them as a curse - as a punishment and as a sign to all others.

" If there is one drop of negro blood in my children, as I have read to you, they receive the curse, There isn't any argument, therefore, as to intermarriage with the Negro, is there? "Now we are generous with the Negro. We are willing that the Negro have the highest kind of education. I would be willing to let every Negro drive a Cadillac if they could afford it.

ORSON PRATT of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles

"The Lord has not kept them in store for five or six thousand years past, and kept them waiting for their bodies all this time to send them among the Hottentots, the African Negroes, the idolatrous Hindoos, or any other of the fallen nations of the earth

SPENCER W. KIMBALL:

"Lamanites" is the Book of Mormon term for Native Americans. The quote below is from a Mormon General Conference talk given by Spencer W. Kimball in 1960. Spencer W. Kimball became the president of the Mormon Church in 1975.

"The day of the Lamanites in nigh. For years they have been growing delightsome, and they are now becoming white and delightsome, as they were promised. [...] The children in the home placement program in Utah are often lighter than their brothers and sisters in the hogans on the reservation.

At one meeting a father and mother and their sixteen-year-old daughter were present, the little member girl- sixteen- sitting between the darker father and mother, and it was evident she was several shades lighter than her parents- on the same reservation, in the same hogan, subject to the same sun and wind and weather. There was the doctor in a Utah city who for two years had had an Indian boy in his home who stated that he was some shades lighter than the younger brother just coming into the program from the reservation. These young members of the Church are changing to whiteness and to delightsomeness. One white elder jokingly said that he and his companion were donating blood regularly to the hospital in the hope that the process might be accelerated."

Incredibly, Pelosi Continues to Blame Bush - Moonbattery

"No matter how much of a mess corrupt socialists like Obama and Pelosi make of the economy, everything is still the fault of George W. Bush:"

Blaming Bush and screeching lies about banned birth control are all Dems have, given Obama’s miserable record.

I speak to so many people bemoaning the problems with the country and most almost rarely follow the news or pay attention to politics.

Some blame lobbyists, some blame Congress, unfortunately none blame Obama.

I frequently neglect to catch myself when I say that Democrats are stupid or ignorant or just plain fucked up. Maybe I should just give the Democrats their due and cite their utter brilliance, cunning, cleverness and guile.

The simple fact that Nancy Pelosi, Obama… oh hell pick any random Democrat and they can stand in front of the cameras and say the shit that they do even in this age of You Tube, 24/7 news cycle, Twitter, Facebook, right wing talk radio and crazed obsessive right wing bloggers like myself and they will say the most amazing, retarded fucked up shit and they don’t bat an eye because they know the majority of people in this country are a bunch of either clueless fucks, totally detached from reality or common sense, too busy to give a shit, frustrated with life in general where politics is so far removed from their lives that Obama can get on TV and give the order to seize all property from all Americans and people would be totally oblivious unless he interrupted an episode of Dancing With The Stars, or Real Housewives of Wherever.

Bottom line is I guess I need to change my paradigm by simply berating Democrats on their cognitive and intellectual abilities.

As must disdain as I have for Democrats and what they do and represent I must acknowledge that what they do keeps working.

Here we have another presidential election coming upon us and despite all of the links below outlining what is fucked up with this country and thousands and thousands of pages of material from astute and well-meaning bloggers and pundits some days I just wonder do people really give a shit?

I know for a fact that there are a lot of people struggling, out of work, working below their educational level, losing homes and businesses and the cause and the source is glaring, bitch slapping them in the face.

However the unfortunate fact is the Republican Party is woefully anemic and lacking a true leader, someone who can confidently lead this country out of the abyss.

Pelosi knows this, the Democrats know this. Just follow the old remedy the injecting fear, using old retread arguments of class envy, recycling long gone Republican villains like George W. Bush and racial divisions… oh Obama and his minions will use race in the coming months like never before.

I’m not saying things are hopeless but if I could wave a magic wand the one thing I would wish for America is just a little less ignorance.

As a famous talk show host said years ago “It is ignorance that allows liberalism to prosper.”

Until we can eradicate America of simple ignorance America will never be the strong confident country it once was.

Convince Democrats like Pelosi and that idiot bitch Schultz that America indeed is paying attention then and only then will we start to see some political sanity in this country.

Some of us on the right are at fault too:

Complacent Conservatism Is Allowing America To Slide Into The Abyss - Right Wing News

Conservatism is more relevant than ever to American life, but much of the conservative movement has grown complacent, lazy, rigid, and out-of-touch. Too many conservatives went to D.C. to make a difference and hung around to make a few bucks. Too many conservatives have given up on moving America to the right and are now content to just hold the line so we don’t move any further backwards. That’s one of the dirty little secrets on the Right; real grassroots Tea Party conservatism FRIGHTENS a lot of conservatives, especially the ones in D.C. It’s not so much because they disagree with the sentiment, but because they’ve become so demoralized that they instinctively recoil from any meaningful effort to move the country to the right, rather than just stopping the movement to the left.

If you want to see a great example of how weak kneed much of the conservative movement has become, look back to the Bush years when the GOP controlled the House, the Senate, and the White House. What did the GOP do to move the country to the Right? Nothing of consequence besides the Bush tax cuts, which weren’t even permanent. In fact, you could make a good argument that the most significant piece of legislation during the Bush years was Medicare Part D, which moved the country to the LEFT, not the right. During the Bush years, there was even a push for comprehensive immigration reform, which was a politically suicidal attempt to pass legislation that was anathema to conservatives, would have hurt America, and would have handed several million additional votes to the Democratic Party. That is how cowed and intimidated many conservatives have become.

Dear Base Supporting Mitt Romney - Riehl World View

If GOP voters don't like hearing John McCain's name, wait until they hear Mitt's if he gets the nomination.

SOMERSWORTH, N.H. — Drawing an implicit contrast with Mitt Romney on the eve of the first-in-the-nation primary, Rick Santorum on Monday implored New Hampshire not to settle for a centrist, establishment candidate. And when Santorum reminded them of the 2008 Republican nominee, the people of this small New Hampshire town bordering Maine wanted none of it.

I want to get this on the record, as we bloggers do like appearing smart at times. If Mitt Romney gets the nomination, five minutes after getting it, all that tough talk on the illegal immigration issue, well, that is all going away - instantly.

The soaring national debt has reached a symbolic tipping point: It's now as big as the entire U.S. economy. Thanks Obama!

Barack Obama guts the military … but gives government bureaucrats a pay raise.

US News Poll: Americans Fear Reelection of Obama - The Lonely Conservative

A new poll by US News shows that a Americans fear the reelection of President Obama by a 2 to 1 margin. I haven’t checked, but is this the first time a sitting president has inspired fear in the hearts of voters?
When it comes to how Americans view President Obama going into the new year, there appears to be very little spirit of Auld Lang Syne. Instead, according to the new Washington Whispers poll, many voters aren’t forgetting what they dislike about Obama and want him out office.

In our New Year’s poll, when asked what news event they fear most about 2012, Americans by a margin of two-to-one said Obama’s reelection. Only 16 percent said they fear the Democrat won’t win a second term, while 33 percent said they fear four more years.

A frequent BizzyBlog commenter tweeted about am online article he saw at CNNMoney.com entitled "Doctors going broke" about how many doctors are struggling in the current economy. His tweet: "Welcome to Obamacare."
What's interesting is that my tweeting commenter is right that Obamacare is definitely already influencing the viability of medical practices. But Ms. Parija Kavilanz's Friday report acts as if the mind-numbingly lengthy legislation and the torrent of regulations which appear destined to end up being huge multiples of that outrageous length don't exist, and actually blames many docs for their predicaments:

Doctors in America are harboring an embarrassing secret: Many of them are going broke.

No Hope that Obama Changed - The Conservatory

The world always disappoints those wise souls who know just how it should be run. Sometimes, the only recourse for people who are smarter than you is to recast the argument. That’s why our enlightened political betters call those who recognized that the government ought to waste slightly less money “terrorists” and maintain that the stimulus actually worked by not making things worse, except for how it did.

Changing terms to fit their odd perceptions is worlds easier than doing something good. On that note, cognitive dissonance enthusiasts have been claiming that the Barack Obama would be a fine leader if he could just return to 2008-era mode. But he’s acted exactly as he promised he would while bluffing his way into his first job.

The archetypal dupes who fell for the soothing tones of his recitations ignored the times he did bother to vote or speak on record; those evidence exhibits were available for analysis to any interested amateur sleuths.
Still, only his opponents were seemingly aware of the impending dire consequences of playing Obamaball. His minions should have paid attention when he read the rulebook no matter how inspirational the paragraphs sounded.

Most obviously, anyone with the slightest interest in examining Obama’s platitudes should have known that all this talk of “we” was going to cost us. The communal approach to solving individual problems has always been ingrained in his delivery, which is why he still thinks he’s going to solve everything by making us forward our paychecks to his spending specialists.
As a result, we’ve spent three years flushing currency like we’ll win something if we keep doing so. But the only prize in this particular demented sweepstakes is eternal insolvency. It sucks, but it’s no surprise.

Freedom Plaza has “exploded”since protesters began their vigil in October,

Health.
Akhter said in an interview Monday that city health inspectors have seen
rats running openly through both camps and spotted numerous new burrows and
nests underneath hay-stuffed pallets occupiers are using for beds. Both
campsites had working kitchens for weeks until last week, but protesters at McPherson Square voluntarily closed down
theirs after health inspectors pointed out unsanitary conditions during an
informal monitoring visit.

For Romney, Mormon question rears its ugly head in Iowa - The Washington Post

New polls in Iowa suggest Romney’s Mormon religion continues to be a sticking point among all-important evangelical Christians there. And that’s bad news for a Romney campaign that is trying desperately to prevent Newt Gingrich from scoring a big victory in the state’s caucuses.

It would be an insult to GOP hopeful Mitt Romney if his Mormon faith becomes 'the elephant in the room'

The plot to kill Mitt Romney’s campaign

Just when things were finally looking good, a pro-Newt casino magnate dumps millions into an effort to ruin him

The biggest development in the Republican presidential race doesn’t have much to do with the New Hampshire primary. It’s the news, reported late Sunday night by the New York Times, that a pro-Newt Gingrich Super PAC has received a $5 million donation from Sheldon Adelson, a casino mogul and close Gingrich ally, and is pouring the money into a South Carolina advertising campaign aimed at taking down Mitt Romney.

The ads will apparently portray Romney as a job-destroying corporate raider and feature interviews with people who lost their jobs when Romney’s venture capital firm took over their companies. This poses two threats to Romney, an immediate one in the GOP primaries and potentially a longer-term one, with Democrats itching to caricature him the exact same way in a fall campaign.

At the moment, Romney has maneuvered his way into an enviable position in the GOP race. His razor-thin Iowa victory last week has elevated his national poll numbers to levels he failed to attain for all of 2011 and helped push him to a commanding lead in South Carolina, a state where he finished a distant fourth in 2008 and where his moderate past, Northeast roots and Mormon faith are all seen as particularly problematic.

Mitt Romney: “Damn, It Feels Good To Be A Mormon”
- FitsNews.com

First of all, all we care about is whether Romney would be true to taxpayers … and odds are he wouldn’t be. As for being true to his faith and his family, that’s cute … but it’s certainly not a compelling reason to vote for (or against) a candidate for elected office. Meanwhile as for his promise to be “true to our country,” wouldn’t Romney have to take an oath to that effect before taking office?Talk about pablum, people.

Anyway, the word “Mormon” never appears in Romney’s mail piece … yet the mainstream media (which is working harder than Romney’s own campaign to secure the nomination for him) is praising the guy like the ghost of JFK just gave him a “Profiles in Courage” award.

“The mailer signals that Romney is willing to confront questions about Mormonism head on in South Carolina, where his frontrunning campaign is now competing aggressively in hopes of delivering a knockout blow against his conservative rivals,” writes CNN’s Peter Hamby.
In fact, the original headline of Hamby’s piece was “Romney Embraces Mormon Faith In South Carolina Mail Piece.”

Huh?

How on earth is a mail piece that doesn’t even mention the word Mormon a “head on” confrontation of the issue?

Mitt Romney's Electability: Lying is Not a Welcome Virtue for Presidential Candidates - International Business Times

Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney, in all probability, will lose the electability edge he has over his Republican rivals if he doesn't learn to get his stories right. His latest blunder - getting caught lying by his rivals - is the last thing that should happen to any electable candidate.

Romney was caught contradicting himself on policy issues. He was caught turning 180 degrees in his stands on abortion, employment and other issues over a period of time. Although it should be noted that while consistency is a virtue Americans expect from their presidential candidates, changes can be pardoned to some extent - as opinions and stands could change over time.
Romney, in an NBC/Facebook debate, made a futile attempt to defend the advertisements attacking Newt Gingrich, which were made by a super Political Action Committee (PAC). In the process he ended up contradicting himself.

At the debate, Gingrich criticized Romney for the advertisements. Romney first denied he had seen a particular ad attacking Gingrich, released by a super PAC backing him; seconds later, however, viewers saw him giving a point-by-point description of the advertisement.
There can be only two possible explanations.
It could either be Romney lied when he said he had not seen that particular advertisement or he has some sort of paranormal capability to help him describe that which he has never seen.

The abysmal incompetence of the non-Romneys - Michelle Malkin

Mitt Romney’s chronic flip-flopping political career is teeming with reasons to oppose his nomination — from his support for racial preferences, to government funding of abortion, liberal judges, global warming enviro-nitwittery, TARP, auto bailouts, the Obama stimulus, gun control, and of course, individual health insurance mandates that presaged Obamacare.
Instead of focusing on his long political record of expedience, incompetent non-Romneys have morphed into Michael Moore propagandists — throwing not just Bain Capital under the bus, but wealth creators of all kinds who take risks in the private marketplace.
We’re screwed.

Internal Affairs: Mitt Romney was a '60s protester who protested protesters

By the Mercury News

I would have never have guessed that GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney was a '60s protester.
But he was -- and at Stanford of all places.
Actually, he was a counterprotester, protesting a protest. Yes, those were confusing times.
It was 1966, when Romney was a 19-year-old Stanford freshman. Romney and his friends were unhappy that 15 anti-war students had occupied the reception area of the university president's office to protest new Selective Service requirements that affected students' draft deferments.
So the young Romney rallied to the administration's defense, joining the crowd with a sign saying, "Speak Out! Don't Sit In!"
I found that logic a bit fuzzy. Isn't sitting in, well, speaking out? But, hey, the kid was only 19. We'll give him a break.
In any case, it turns out Romney wasn't exactly an opponent of deferments. He got one himself.
As a Mormon missionary, he took a "ministerial deferment" from the draft -- and served his time, not in Vietnam, but in France.

Opinion: '67 speech in strange S.F. shows Romney's dad was the more courageous

Missed Opportunity - The Daily Beast Dec 6, 2007

What Mitt Romney didn't say was more interesting than what he did.

Mitt Romney's speech on faith and freedom was well written, well delivered and contained some nice rhetorical flourishes. I personally found little in it with which to disagree. But it was hardly a speech for the ages. To my ear it was a political speech in the narrowest sense, aimed at reassuring evangelical primary voters, especially in Iowa, who are wary of his Mormon faith.

Once again Romney asserted his belief in Jesus Christ as "the Son of God and Savior of mankind." And he went on to acknowledge obliquely that what his church means by that "may not be the same" as other faiths. Evangelicals probably wanted more, but Romney wisely avoided parsing differences. Fair enough.

But the most obvious omission was Romney's failure to follow up on his promise to "offer perspectives on how my own faith would inform my presidency, if I were elected." True, he did tell us—as he had to—that he would not allow the authorities of his church to "exert influence on presidential decisions," that "I will put no doctrine of any church above the plain duties of the office," and again that "I will serve no one religion…" But there was absolutely nothing in his speech that told us what he would bring from his Mormon faith to benefit his responsibilities as president. None of the other candidates, Democrat or Republican, has been good at answering that question either. But why promise what you do not intend to deliver?

Election season is here, and you might think President Obama would be going out of his way to show voters that he can be trusted with the powers of the presidency. But you would be wrong. Just a few days before Christmas, Obama served notice to all Americans that he will continue to abuse executive privilege by seeking new ways to vilify gun owners and further his anti-gun agenda.
Congress placed a provision in the $1 trillion omnibus spending bill for 2012 designed to bar the National Institutes of Health (NIH) from using any of its $30.7 billion taxpayer funds to “advocate or promote gun control.” However, upon signing the bill into law, President Obama issued a caveat of his own:

I have advised Congress that I will not construe these provisions as preventing me from fulfilling my constitutional responsibility to recommend to the Congress’s consideration such measures as I shall judge necessary and expedient.
In other words: “Congress may pass laws, but I decide which of its laws are constitutional and which I can simply choose to ignore.”

3rd Graders Given “Slavery” Math Homework

'If Fred Got Two Beatings Per Day…' Homework Asks

ATLANTA-Third grade students in Gwinnett County, Ga., were given math homework with references to slavery and beatings. A spokesman for Gwinnett County, Ga. claims that the questions were made to incorporate social studies into the math curriculum.One math problem was “Each tree had 56 oranges. If eight slaves pick them equally, then how much would each slave pick?.” Another read “If Frederick got two beatings per day, how many beatings did he get in one week?”
ABC News reports:

“Something like that shouldn’t be embedded into a kid of the third, fourth, fifth, any grade,” parent Terrance Barnett told WSB-TV. “I’m having to explain to my 8-year-old why slavery or slaves or beatings are in a math problem. That hurts.”
“In this one, the teachers were trying to do a cross-curricular activity,” Gwinnett County school district spokeswoman Sloan Roach said.

Is there not one ethical, courageous Democrat? - Red State

Is there not one ethical, courageous Democrat?

The Obama administration’s actions in the recent past have by any measure set new records for cynicism and hypocrisy. Obama the Senator (c. 2006) and Obama the Presidential candidate (c. 2007-2008) repeatedly espoused positions that Obama the President (c. 2009-2012) has not only declined to endorse but dramatically repudiated. Pre-election Obama was going to reset international relations (oops), close Gitmo (oops), shrink the deficit (OMG, OOPS!), and swear off Presidential signing statements (oops, oops, and oops). The best of intentions and all that, right? Since then, Obama has abandoned positions with – well, with abandon.

But the unmitigated gall he showed last week in the brazen, unconstitutional power grab exemplified by the lawless “recess” appointments of three NLRB directors as well as the head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau belongs in the chutzpah hall of fame.
I am no longer surprised when this administration does something of which I disapprove, no matter how strongly. But this posting is not about why – or even whether – those were poor decisions. Others at this site (see here, here, and here) and elsewhere have thoroughly and convincingly explained why Obama’s actions were unconstitutional. What does surprise me – indeed, alarms me – is the deafening silence, if not downright approval, from the Democrat side of the aisle in the face of these outrageous actions.

Despite what the left would like you to believe, our tax system is not rigged to favor the rich.

The mystery of government is not how it works, but how to make it stop.

As we saw last week with Obama’s announcement about military spending cuts, entitlements are beginning to crowd out the American military.

Obama is facing an uphill re-election battle and on track to receive only 43% of the vote in a two-man race, according to an election model by IHS Global Insight.

Another example of ridiculous government regulations. Ever heard of a whooping crane?

Obama vs. None of the Above - The American Spectator - 1/5/12

A vulnerable president will face an ambivalent GOP.

No matter how ineptly Barack Obama continues to govern, his chances of winning reelection remain strong. As the results from Iowa suggest, the GOP is too addled and divided to field a formidable and philosophically coherent opponent against him.

Say this at least for the Democrats: They have the sense to run nominees who actually support the platform of their party. This rudimentary task is too tricky for Republicans to perform. They haven't been able to locate in over a generation a presidential nominee who supports theirs. George Bush Sr., Bob Dole, George Bush Jr., John McCain, and now Mitt Romney in all likelihood: this is a dismal roll call of nominees with little to no interest in the ostensible platform of the GOP.

Out of this "Big Tent" came not a larger party, as its proponents promised, but a more bewildered and demoralized one. Romney's likely coronation is a symbol of this confusion, and not even Obama's outrages will be sufficient to cut through it.

The Great Conservative Sell-Out - Right Wing News

Much of the conservative punditocracy has declared that Mitt Romney is the consensus conservative candidate. If he is, he’s the least consensual consensus candidate in modern political history — the man can’t break 25 percent with a sledgehammer. While his supporters shout from the hills that Romney essentially tied for the win in Iowa, his glass remains three-quarters empty, with no-name Rick Santorum winning as much of the vote, Ron Paul winning nearly as much, and Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry combining for as much. The last time a Republican candidate captured the nomination for the presidency by winning Iowa with this low a vote total, his name was Bob Dole. A couple of years later, he was hawking Viagra.

Nonetheless, the word is out: The fix is in. Unbelievably, not a single anti-Romney television ad was run in the state of Iowa. And while a few conservatives — including yours truly — have come out and opposed nominating the most left-wing Republican in the field, many more conservatives have endorsed Romney’s candidacy.

Currently, undocumented immigrants must leave the country before they can ask the government to waive a three- to 10-year ban on legally coming back to the U.S. The length of the ban depends on how long they have lived in the U.S. without permission.

What does it mean when Americans make up half of the world's richest 1%?

By Jack Cafferty:

When I read these numbers I was stunned. I had no idea that Americans make up fully one half of the world's richest 1%.
When you look at the world's population as a whole, it only takes $34,000 a year per person - after taxes - to be part of the world's richest one percent. A family of four with after tax income of $136,000 would be among the world's richest.
60 million people make up the world's richest one percent. And, according to world bank economist Branko Milanovic, half of them - or 29 million people - lived in the United States as of 2005.
Another 4 million live in Germany. And the rest are scattered throughout Europe, Latin America and parts of Asia.
None of the world's richest 1% live in Africa, China or India - statistically speaking.
Although places like China and India are seeing economic growth, and people there are getting richer, they're starting from a very low base. This also means the emerging middle class in these countries isn't the same as the middle class in developed nations. No cars. No retirement plans. They don't own their own homes.
Milanovic says people in the world's true middle live on around $1,200 a year.

That mission: to brainwash Americans into embracing moonbattery. Naturally Obama promises more government funding.

Will President Obama Fool America Again? - The American Spectator

Take a look at this ObamaCare tax that could cost 45,000 American jobs and send them overseas.

Even if the government were to confiscate the net worth of the entire Forbes 400 list of richest Americans, their combined $1.5 trillion of wealth would barely cover the forthcoming $1.2 trillion debt-ceiling increase.

Tom Coburn released a new report, “Wastebook 2011” that highlights over $6.5 billion in examples of some of the most egregious ways your taxpayer dollars were wasted.

As we enter 2012, the presidential candidates would do well to wrap their minds and messages around these seven mathematical facts:

Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion. This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.
The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.
Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.
College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.
Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.
The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.
Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty.

Michelle Obama’s backside is your business how? — WaPo

Can you imagine how the incident would play out if an African American congressman made a crude remark about First Lady Laura Bush’s body? It certainly would have taken more than an insincere apology to wash that sin away. That scenario never happened — hopefully because those congressmen were raised with a measure of common decency. I know that America’s first family — an image this country presents to the world — is traditionally granted a certain amount of respect across party lines. [...]

Only Wisconsin Republican congressman Jim Sensenbrenner apparently isn’t bound by such traditions. While I suspect he might be the first to defend the honor and dignity of previous First Ladies, he was recently overheard at Washington’s Reagan National Airport loudly criticizing Michelle Obama’s healthy eating initiative: “She lectures us on eating right while she has a large posterior herself.”

Ok let me just say for the record I like Michelle Obama’s ass, GIANT? no... I may not like very much about her, but I do like her ass.

Now let me say this while a lot of white dudes may front and say shit about a chicks large ass more than a few like what many say “more cushin for the pushin.”

Look let me tell you this one time I was in Vegas and my ex and I were kinda playing a people watching game called “spot the hoe.” We went to some of the higher end hotels on the strip and had drinks in the lounges in each.

More times than not when the old highbrow looking executive type white dudes (typically older) came to hook up with a hoe he skipped the thin, white, glamorous looking, blonde, perfect dress and teeth, thin waist line, polite refined chick and choose the most ghetto ass, fat and phat ass, butt ugly but bangin body sista, big booty and booty clappin sista he could get his hands on.

The porn industry is not a 3 billion dollar industry because we only fetish off of what is the “perfect” sexual image in our minds.

I guarantee you Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner only mentioned Michelle’s ample ass because he has been checking out that ass and wants to tap in a bad way.

This is hardly racist.

Are we alone in the universe?

As the romance of manned space exploration has waned, the drive today is to find our living, thinking counterparts in the universe. For all the excitement, however, the search betrays a profound melancholy — a lonely species in a merciless universe anxiously awaits an answering voice amid utter silence.

That silence is maddening. Not just because it compounds our feeling of cosmic isolation, but because it makes no sense. As we inevitably find more and more exo-planets where intelligent life can exist, why have we found no evidence — no signals, no radio waves — that intelligent life does exist?

It’s called the Fermi Paradox, after the great physicist who once asked, “Where is everybody?” Or as was once elaborated: “All our logic, all our anti- isocentrism, assures us that we are not unique — that they must be there. And yet we do not see them.”

"Rick Perry, who followed Bachmann’s sizzle-and-fizzle footsteps in Iowa, will also follow her to South Carolina in hopes of a defibrillator-like campaign recharge. Perry says Santorum can’t beat Obama. But this comes from a guy whose “epic failure” in Virginia exposed utter incompetence."

Ron Paul Letter Warned 'Race War' Coming

A direct-mail solicitation for Ron Paul's political and investment newsletters two decades ago warned of a "coming race war in our big cities" and of a "federal-homosexual cover-up" to play down the impact of AIDS. The eight-page letter, which appears to carry Paul's signature at the end, also warns that the U.S. government's redesign of currency to include different colors - a move aimed at thwarting counterfeiters - actually was part of a plot to allow the government to track Americans using the "new money." The letter urges readers to subscribe to Paul's newsletters so that he could "tell you how you can save yourself and your family" from an overbearing government. The letter's details emerge at a time when Paul, now a contender for the Republican nomination for president, is under fire over reports that his newsletters contained racist, anti-homosexual and anti-Israel rants. Reports of the newsletters' contents have Paul's campaign scrambling to deny that he wrote the inflammatory articles.

Ok credit the fact that I had a shitty end of year coupled with the fact that I had a shitty New Year… who am I kidding I had a shitty past couple of years for the most part but life goes on, hell maybe things may turn around but I am a religious pessimist anyway. Ok hear is a less ranting article about something I have been bitching about forever, getting rid of the Iowa caucuses. Folks I have deliberately avoided news programs because I am sick of hearing about the so called importance of Iowa. This is just utter madness, I really don’t understand why people give a shit about Iowa, I don’t understand why candidates campaign there, I don’t understand why candidates give a shit what the people from Iowa think about any fucking thing. Iowa is a complete waste of fucking time, resources and news time. However I have no hope of common sense taking over because people will always be attracted to shiny objects whatever the media dangles in front of the faces of the politically and mentally impaired will be deemed important and relevant. The only thing I can come up with is someone really wealthy has business interests in Iowa and the money made from the media marching across the state and promoting a bunch of Midwestern bullshit. Just as in most things in life follow the money trail.

Column: Why we should kill the Iowa caucuses - USA Today

There's been a lot of chatter in recent weeks that if Texas Rep. Ron Paul wins the Iowa Republican caucus today, the Iowa caucuses should be eliminated once and for all.

That's unfair. Even if he loses, we should get rid of them.

Let me be clear. I'm not anti-Iowa. I like the place. I've been there many times. I like the people, the food and, well, the people and the food will do for now. The Atlanticrecently published an outrageously snobbish, misleading attack on Iowa from some professor who apparently spent 20 years living in a state he hated, surrounded by people he considered to be boobs, hicks and Bible-thumpers. That's not my complaint.

The reason the Iowa caucuses should go (and so, too, New Hampshire's first in the nation primary status) is simple: Who died and made Iowans pope?

The Carter warning

It's worth recalling that there's no actual reason why Iowa should go first. All the explanations you hear from Iowa party hacks and their enablers are post-hoc rationalizations for why Iowa should stay first.

The caucuses were moved to the front of the schedule essentially by accident in 1972. In 1976, Jimmy Carter, a dark horse candidate, committed himself to campaigning aggressively in what was still considered a political backwater and emerged a star. That alone should have been a warning sign. Instead the political press romanticized the place and started treating Iowa as special.

NBC Gives Platform to Professor Who Called Iowans 'Meth Addicts' and 'Elderly Waiting to Die' How much you wanna bet that if I turned on the TV to any news show and they interview someone from Iowa it would be some old ranting ass bible thumping white woman or some Occupy Wall street looking scruffy looking honkey. I mean seriously people, what the fuck!? It’s kinda like Negros being interviewed after a 187 in the hood describing how Pooky got shot.

The Paul Pot and the Paulestinians - By Daniel Green

If there was a time for Ron Paul it would be now, in an election against a Democratic administration that has dramatically extended Federal power and created its own mini-tyranny. The problem is that Paul is just as unqualified and broken as Obama. Both men are products of rigid ideology who insist that applying it will fix all problems. They are both surrounded by cults of personality that elevate ordinary mediocre men into the avatars of hope and change.

No sooner does Ron Paul mumble a sentence in a debate then his followers plaster a dozen clips of it on YouTube under titles asserting that he "0WNED" Romney, Gingrich, Santorum or the solar system. The sad truth is that Ron Paul has never won a debate or made an articulate argument for anything. He's a shambling ideologue who has shot up only because every other Republican candidate except Huntsman and Santorum have had their moment in the sun. Paul isn't anyone's first choice, he's the fifth choice who isn't likely to win Iowa, let alone the nomination.

Paul's supporters have bought his son a senate seat and given papa a proper sendoff as the bugbear of the Republican Party. The level of devotion is completely detached from any actual accomplishment in the field of politics. But the same was true of Obama.

******
Ok I’ve been out on the road vacationing and spending tie with family and friends and have not checked out hardly any news since I left almost tow weeks ago.
But while browsing I came across this article on Ron Paul and frankly this guy says what I think but does it better .

Folks I blog quite a bit and comb through many blogs on a normal day. I pay attention to the political process. I have the great fortune to work for and meet many of who are regarded the best and brightest on the political arena in this country from both sides of the political aisle.

Those of you who have been paying me attention for some time know what I think of Ron Paul. Let me tell you what virtually every professional political pundit, political insider, political analysis hell even many of the professors who have Political Science backgrounds say or better yet think about Ron Paul.

HE IS A FUCKING NUT AND A BLITHERING IDIOT!

No they did not say it quite like that, but that is the gist. Why the drama from yours truly?

This continues to frustrate me and irritate the shit out of me that Ron Paul maintains his relevancy every damn election cycle.
The man is a fucking quack so why the hell do people keep falling for the Barney Fife political routine?
This is a complete and utter joke that he is ahead of any of the Republican challengers.

I saw the Drudge Headline IA: Romney 25% Paul 22% Santorum 16% Gingrich 14%

I don’t like Romney, Gingrich is to toxic and that unfortunately makes Ron Paul inexplicable relevant.

Ok whatever if America can elect a blithering idiot like Obama, shit why the fuck not Ron Paul.
