Andrew Sullivan’s Political Masturbation

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:39:26 +0000

Good God this man is so far into the tank; it is sickening:

Obama’s position – almost a year into his presidency – is yet to be revealed. The president waits, prods, allows the parties to reveal their hands, and keeps his final detailed position to himself. By allowing the debate to continue in public, he also tries to get the public more, rather than less, involved. So we too get to show our hand as the debate continues. And the polls show Americans pretty evenly – and understandably – divided on the excruciating and ultimately prudential question of what to do next.

What strikes me about this is the enormous self-confidence this reveals. Here is a young president, prepared to allow himself to be portrayed as “weak” or “dithering” in the slow and meticulous arrival at public policy. He is trusting the reality to help expose what we need to do. He is allowing the debate – however messy and confusing and emotional – to take its time and reveal the real choices in front of us. This is politically risky, of course. Those who treat politics as a contact-sport, whose insistence is on the “game” of who wins which news cycle, or who can spin each moment in a political storm as a harbinger of whatever, will pounce and shriek and try to bounce the president into a decision. And those who believe that what matters in war is charging ahead regardless at all times will also grandstand against the president’s insistence on prudence.

Good Lord. Get this man a bottle of baby oil, a warm room and a towel. If that isn’t a gay crush on a black man; I do not know what is.

Dan over Riehl World View cracks:

Sullivan is so far down in the tank, there can’t be any oxygen down there. Maybe that explains his posts for the last year, or so.

Quite true. Quite true indeed. Conservative? Yeah, right!

Opportunistic Bovine Tripe

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 21:16:41 +0000

I think I have seen it all now…:

We know absolutely no one in Bush family circles and have never met former President George W. Bush or his wife Laura.

If you have been reading us for any length of time, you know that we used to make fun of “Dubya” nearly every day…parroting the same comedic bits we heard in our Democrat circles, where Bush is still, to this day, lampooned as a chimp, a bumbling idiot, and a poor, clumsy public speaker.

Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.

We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster. President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it. ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.

Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11. He would have not gone there with a bullhorn and struck that right tone. More likely than not, he would have been his usual fey, apologetic self and waxed professorially about how evil America is and how justified Muslims are for attacking us, with a sidebar on how good the attacks were because they would humble us.

Honestly, we don’t think President Gore would have been much better that day. The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indominable spirit that day…and we will forever be grateful to this man for that.

It is a very interesting read; It all sounds nice and pretty — that is until you hear the reality of it. If you think for one minute that the people that wrote the above and what is over at that link are really sincere about that; I have land to sell you for extremely cheap in Texas —- in a swamp. The only motivation for this idiotic bunch of Bovine Tripe that was written here is the following; their allegiance to Hillary Clinton. HillBuzz is simply a group of Homosexual Hillary Supporters; that are a still bitter because Barack Obama kicked Shillary’s fat ass in the 2008 Primary.

So, while it may sound nice, pretty and — dare I even say it? Patriot. (Uh, Gag, Puke) It is simply a piece written to kick dirt in the face of Barack Obama for daring to defeat Hillary Clinton. So, please, do not buy the hype on this entry. Because if it would have been Hillary that won. These guys would be still trashing Bush. In other words; Nice try guys, but not all of us in the political blogging world are that dumb to believe that you actually now love Bush.

Democrats Hypocrisy over Nastiness in Politics

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:55:24 +0000

It seems that the Liberals have some sort of double standard, when it comes to nastiness in politics. Some idiot liberal Blogger wrote up a rather interesting blog posting, about how horrible I was for making the offhanded comments, that I made on twitter and also here on my Blog. The comments which I did remove and also did apologize for and also removed the controversial Blog posting as well.

All I have to say about that posting is; Um, Hypocrite much ya’ll?

The funny is; liberal loons justify the above as Freedom of speech. But you let someone like me; A Conservative make a slip up and it’s off to the gallows with me! You socialist bastards are nothing more the blatant hypocrites. You believe in freedom of speech as long as it fits your agenda. It was perfectlly fine to do the above to George W. Bush, Israel and so on. But you let someone threaten President Barack Obama and liberals are ready to call FBI on you.

My point is this, While I admit I made a mistake; the Liberals in the damned Country are not the god damned moral compass that they claim to be. They never have been and never will be. So, please, you jack assed idiots; give me a break. Because you were just as bad, when you were out of power. Further more, you double standards are absolutely sickening. How you even dare to tell me what I can and cannot say on twitter, after looking at these pictures? How?!?!

The truth is, you cannot. Because you know damned well, that you are just as guilty of hate, as I was, when I spouted off. Now, please, put that in your damned pipe and smoke it, assholes.

Uh-oh: Nidal Hasan may have wired money to Pakistan

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:08:39 +0000

Now this is going to be game changer, if found to be true:

WASHINGTON – Authorities have been examining whether Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan wired money to Pakistan in recent months, an action that one senior lawmaker said would raise serious questions about Hasan’s possible connections to militant Islamic groups.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., said sources “outside of the [intelligence] community” learned about Hasan’s possible connections to the Asian country, which faces a massive Islamist insurgency and is widely believed to be Osama bin Laden’s hiding place.

Hoekstra, the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, would not identify the sources. But he said “they are trying to follow up on it because they recognize that if there are communications – phone or money transfers with somebody in Pakistan – it just raises a whole other level of questions.”

So much for the liberal line of “Oh, he was just psycho, there was no terrorism involved!” But do you think the liberal main stream media will change its narrative on this? Don’t bet on it. They’re still trying to justify his actions. I still say that the perfect solution is to force all Muslims OUT of the United States Military and round them all up and put them on camps, until this war is finally over. But of course, I do not run the country. It is a pity too; I could solve many of the Worlds problems.

Confirmed: President Obama wants the United States to fail in Afghanistan

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:49:35 +0000

Yesterday, some moron liberal left this comment in my comment section of a posting that I made about the Ft. Hood Speech that Obama Gave:

Say, Pat, do you happen to know *why* Obama was 40 minutes late to give the speech?

He was talking to wounded survivors of the attack.

Really, though, it was a perfect situation for you–suppose he had cut short that meeting? Then you could have slagged him for insulting the survivors by running off to the speech.

To Wish I replied back:

Your opinion, of course.

You somehow miss the fuller point. The man is a damned empty suit. He has no true feelings for our Military. He only cares about his political record. I am sorry, I tried giving him the benefit of the doubt. But it is quote obvious, that he just doesnot care. If he did, he would order a congressional investigation into the rampage and call it what it was, A TERRORIST ATTACK! But he does not do that; because he either secretly agrees with this mans actions or is at last sympathetic to the Jihadists cause.

Of course, this doesn’t surprise me that you don’t get this; most socialists liberals are that dumb.

Now comes the news of the confirmation of what I stated:

President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

That stance comes in the midst of forceful reservations about a possible troop buildup from the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official.

In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy — most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.

But the president raised questions at a war council meeting Wednesday that could alter the dynamic of both how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the timeline would be for their presence in the war zone, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Obama’s thinking.

This my friends, is a strategy for failure. This President just does not care about winning the war on terror. All President Obama cares about is passing his rather idiotic social agenda. If President Obama knew that it would not “Deep Six” his poll numbers; he would pull the United States of America out of Iraq and Afghanistan in a New York Minute.

My friends, elections have consequences —- and this is one of them. Keep this in mind, come 2010.

Lou Dobbs leaves CNN

Patrick — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:28:53 +0000

The Video: (Transcript here)

The Story via the ol’ Grey Lady’s Media Decoder:

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, said Wednesday that he is leaving the cable news channel effective immediately.

Sitting before an image of an American flag on his television set, he said “some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day.”

Believe or not; I actually admire Lou Dobbs for his decision to speak out on the issue that everyday Americans like me care about. Believe it or not, it was a line from one of Lou Dobbs’s shows that gave me my original inspiration to begin Blogging. One night, Lou Dobbs responding to the liberal accusation that he was a Republican, responded with a line that really made me think. —- “I am a Populist.” —— Thus was given me the inspiration to name my original blog. Now, as time went on and the 2008 election cycle began, way back in 2006; my views began to shift more toward the right, and I found myself highly disagreeing with the far left.

In December of 2007, Russian hackers were sniffing around my blog, after a stupid move in my part to make a rather idiotic setup change and because of some incredibly lousy hosting — and maybe because of a dumb error or two on my part, my Blog was hacked to heck and back! Two years worth of writing; gone, just like that. Well, by the time the ruskies got me, my political ideology had shifted much to the right of the center —-much so even more now, and I decided to make change. I dumped the old domain name, that had by then not actually fit me at all. Thus Political Byline was born on Blogspot.com. It initially was more about News. But as I went along, I began to actually write from a right of center standpoint. From there, I got my own hosting, after Google, who owns Blogspot decided to selectively enforce its rules on hate speech; they claimed it was an error, I took zero chances and with a little help from a Friend, I was able to raise enough to pay for some hosting. That little deal didn’t work out, as I was told one thing and given another. I am now at a excellent hosting service and get it for a excellent price. I also am running on some of the best servers in the business. I am truly blessed with this service and I do not take it for granted for one minute.

Anyhow, the rumor mill is that Dobbs will end up either on Fox News or over Fox Business Network. Which would be a good thing, as Dobbs agrees with Fox News’s ideology. I’d prefer watching him over Sean Hannity any day of the week.

DC sniper John Allen Muhammad has been executed

Patrick — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:58:26 +0000

I remember this story, like it was yesterday:

He was happy to watch the sniper die.

“I feel better. I think I can breathe better,” Nelson Rivera said as he watched the execution of convicted killer John Allen Muhammad. “I’m glad he’s gone because he’s not going to hurt anyone else.”

Rivera’s wife Lori Ann Lewis-Rivera, was one of Muhammad’s 10 victims in a three-week killing spree in the Washington, D.C., area in October 2002. She was gunned down as she vacuumed her van at a Maryland gas station in 2002.

Muhammad taunted police with written messages and phoned-in threats and demands.

He was put to death at the Greenville Correctional Center in Virginia Tuesday night as the victims’ families sat behind glass while watching, separated from the rest of the 27 witnesses.

The execution came hours after Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine denied a last-minute clemency request and a day after the

Supreme Court declined to intervene in the case.

Muhammad was declared dead at 9:11 p.m.

via Families of DC sniper victims celebrate John Allen Muhammad’s execution.

I, like many others, were glued to the television, for me it was CNN, watching as this story played out. I, like many others, were still raw after 9/11. CNN never did put the terrorist connection on it. Even though the killer admitted that his motives were of a Islamic terrorist sort. What makes me so damned angry, is the fact that the Liberal media likes to paint this bastard as some sort of a victim of war. The common excuse is that he was driven crazy by the first gulf war. Sorry, I do not buy that idiotic bunch of tripe at all. I know many people who served in that first gulf war; one man personally, while he did have a nasty cough, that he could not shake. He never killed anyone, at all. The sad fact is; that the Ft. Hood shooting and this case are two peas out of the same damned pod, and the idiotic liberal media just will not put the two together. Because they fear a backlash from the Muslim community.

As much as I know, that it will most likely get me attacked for saying this, I happen to agree with this guy here:

I will simply end with this; this is one black man, that I am extremely glad to see is dead. One terrorist down, many millions more to go.

Pardon Me Mr. Raghead, May I see some ID Please?

That’s about what it has come to, isn’t it?

A Marine reservist armed with a tire iron beat and chased a man he thought was an Arab terrorist and even called 911 to say he was detaining the man, police said.

But the man he assaulted was actually a Greek Orthodox priest visiting from overseas who spoke limited English, police said.

That’s why police arrested reservist Jasen D. Bruce on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

Police said they’re also investigating whether Bruce, 28, committed a hate crime.

via Tampa police: Marine reservist attacked Greek priest he mistook for terrorist – St. Petersburg Times.

Oops. Honest mistake. To say that he overreacted; would be an understatement.

Then officers went to Bruce’s apartment to speak to the reservist again. But he already had an attorney with him and refused to speak, police said.

The priest was treated and released from the hospital.

Records show Bruce was released from the Hillsborough County jail at 8 a.m. Tuesday on $7,500 bond. His occupation is listed as sales manager of a Palm Harbor pharmacy.

Good on him for getting the Lawyer. Wonder if he has been sneaking some of “Mother’s little helpers” for himself? —- and Gay Modeling?!??! Ew!
