SHOCKING! Obama linked to gun control efforts… well duh!

Sunday, April 20th, 2008


gg2.jpgBarack Obama’s presidential campaign has worked to assure uneasy gun owners that he believes the Constitution protects their rights and that he doesn’t want to take away their guns.

But before he became a national political figure, he sat on the board of a Chicago-based foundation that doled out at least nine grants totaling nearly $2.7 million to groups that advocated the opposite positions.

The foundation funded legal scholarship advancing the theory that the Second Amendment does not protect individual gun owners’ rights, as well as two groups that advocated handgun bans. And it paid to support a book called “Every Handgun Is Aimed at You: The Case for Banning Handguns.”

Obama’s eight years on the board of the Joyce Foundation, which paid him more than $70,000 in directors fees, do not in any way conflict with his campaign-trail support for the rights of gun owners, Ben LaBolt, a spokesman for Obama’s presidential campaign, asserted in a statement issued to Politico this week.

LaBolt stressed that the foundation, which has assets of about $935 million, doesn’t take “detailed policy positions,” but rather uses its grants to “fuel a dialogue about how to address public policy issues like reducing gun violence.”

Edwards To Be Obama’s AG… and I should be concerned why?

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008


branches.jpg
Flopping Aces had the following:

Even more reason to defeat Obama:

“I got a report from a very close Obama insider in Illinois — somebody who has been in his campaign from the beginning — that they have been talking to the Edwards people and the deal is that if Obama is nominated and elected, John Edwards would be on the top of the list for attorney general.”

But hey, if it’s McCain who is the nominee lets just all stay home.

************************
I know that as the McCain train supposedly moves right along more and more right leaning types will continue to be outraged by the fact that folks like myself will choose to sit out and election and allow crazy Hillary or crazy Obama destroy the company via the Oval Office.

Remember all of the unhinged liberals who were considering suicide after the election of L’il Bush, they were totally convinced that the country was doomed and that we all were going to die!

For someone to make that leap you must subscribe to the logic that the presidency is a dictatorship. Yes they have bully pulpit when it comes to policy, but in case some of you did not take a basic civics class…
***************************

“The Founding Fathers, the framers of the Constitution, wanted to form a government that did not allow one person to have too much authority or control. While under the rule of the British king they learned that this could be a bad system. Yet government under the Articles of Confederation taught them that there was a need for a strong centralized government.

With this in mind the framers wrote the Constitution to provide for a separation of powers, or three separate branches of government. Each has its own responsibilities and at the same time they work together to make the country run smoothly and to assure that the rights of citizens are not ignored or disallowed. This is done through checks and balances. A branch may use its powers to check the powers of the other two in order to maintain a balance of power among the three branches of government.

The three branches of the U.S. Government are the legislative, executive, and judicial. A complete diagram of the branches of the U.S. Government may be found in the U.S. Government Manual (PDF).

**********************************
If Barack Hussein Obama is able to con the majority of Americans into voting for him and even if that moronic idiot bastard Edwards is made Attorney General so what!?
If he fucks it up as much we all know he will this country will still manage to survive.What the hell, I’ll repeat AGAIN, not that any of you gives a shit, I will not support any of the current Republican nominees, none deserves my vote and I will not sacrifice my political values simply to support “the Republican” (don’t make me laugh) that old tired ass closet Democrat fraud e.
Boring political stump speeches, fraudulent campaign rhetoric, lying, distortion, political party scare tactics won’t change that.
If you people want to exercise your right to elect a fraud to the presidency, that is your choice and I respect that.
But damm I am reading so many of these bloggers and political writers who are trying to set off that symbolic alarm to say, if you don’t vote McCain we are all doomed! Fuck that.
Regardless of who is elected president, I will not love my children grandchildren my family in particular Mrs. Snoop any less.

If you are truly worried about who will win this presidential race then frankly you need a serious psychological evaluation or you need to get drunk, laid, or both.

Rooting For An Economic Collapse In America At The Daily Kos

Monday, November 5th, 2007

liberals13.jpgI found the piece below on Right Wing News, via the blog What Bubba Knows:
Wow, it’s incredible the numbers of example that can be found in the liberal blogsphere crazy ass people perfectly willing to publish for the entire world to see just how fucken retarded they are.
I’m mean seriously people, what kind of warped childhood, or parental mistreatment, psychological abuse, relationship crisis must a person experience for you to process this kind of twisted logic.


After spending half her diary comparing America to Nazi Germany, Daily Kos diarist Granny Doc openly roots for an “economic meltdown” in America,

The parallels are undeniable, and I see only one solution if America, The Grand Experiment, is to survive.I want to stand by and watch it all blow up.I want the dollar to plunge to worthless paper.

I want the stock market to implode.

I want the economy to plunge into chaos.

I want the Chinese to call in all the debt they hold.

I want an economic meltdown of such staggering proportion that even that idiot on Bill Moyer’s Journal who does not know the difference between a State Constitution and the United States Constitution, is forced to look around in mild surprise and wonder what the hell happened.

Only total economic destruction will get the attention of the fools.

Phony Soldiers? A Phony Story Is More Like It.

Friday, September 28th, 2007

liberalmedia_animation_sm.gifHave you heard about the latest “controversy” involving Rush Limbaugh that has been made up from scratch by Media Matters and relentlessly promoted by the left side of the blogosphere? Well, no worries, I’ll tell you all about it.Here’s what Media Matters is claiming Rush Limbaugh said, Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are “phony soldiers.”

Now, you might actually conclude from reading that headline that Rush Limbaugh said that, Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are “phony soldiers.”

Actually, he didn’t.

Once again, here’s the headline, from Media Matters,

Limbaugh: Service members who support U.S. withdrawal are “phony soldiers.”

Continue reading here what Rush Limbaugh actually said, during a conversation with a caller. Also go to his site Rushlimbaugh.com if you REALLY give a shit.

More: Background Material…

Seattle Post Intelligencer: Poster soldier for anti-war movement was a fake
RCP: Winter Soldier Syndrome - Michelle Malkin
Hot Air: Jesse Macbeth: I admit it, I’m a filthy liar
AP: 8-month sentence for man who lied about Iraq fighting
Feds nab VA cheaters in ‘Operation Stolen Valor’

But first My two cents:

Ah hell I was not sure I wanted to post this, but since dude on Right Wing did a piece on this “phony” outrage, I figured my Poop readers should get the 411.

You know while on one hand I really getting tired of Media Matters and their blatant distortion of the facts on shit they have on their site, I kinda understand why they do what they do and why they are so successful at smear.

I heard on Rush’s show some of the comments made by some liberal Democrats denouncing what Rush said, I always have to remind myself that Democrats and liberals are never interested in truth, it’s simply about winning and Media Matters knows that the majority of their kook constituents only priority is getting their people in office at all costs.

Now don’t get me wrong, the purpose of this blog is to post stuff that interests me and my political views and yes, I want “my side to win.”
But I have never knowingly posted 411 here that I knew was bullshit just so I can make a fucking cheep political point.

Democrats must use deception to stay in power, but the scary thing is it works like a charm.
I’m dumbfounded at how many websites posted bullshit about O’Reilly and how they took his comments out of context when after reading further, few if any actually read or heard the comments themselves.

I’m perplexed at the vast differences in simple logic between the right blogsphere and the left.
Blogger on the right, in most cases go out of their way to get to the bottom of a story or issue and actively seek to get as much firm details on an issue as possible and the rarely comment and post shit unless they have their fucken facts straight.

Media Matters has these crackpot liberals by the mental ballz. It’s apparent that liberals can’t process information unless it has been pissed on by Media Matters.

Here are a few examples:

(link) Media Matters for America is calling attention to a Rush Limbaugh rant from his show on Wednesday in which he dismisses U.S. troops, including those now serving in Iraq, who disagree with President Bush’s stay-until-victory strategy as “phony soldiers.”
And my colleague Jeff Fecke at Blog of the Moderate Left wonders whether those, including Sen. Norm Coleman, who were outraged by the MoveOn.org ad that was insufficiently respectful toward Gen. David Petraeus, will bring equal energy to denouncing Limbaugh for being insufficiently respectful toward some of the troops.

*********

(link) Following the MoveOn non-controversy, some of our local dingbats went on a largely unnoticed mini-crusade to get WA-08 Congressional candidate Darcy Burner to condemn the anti-war organization’s ad. Now that Rush Limbaugh has said something that was considerably more offensive to our men and women in uniform, we’re certain that Mark Gardner and the rest of the fair and balanced wingnutosphere will demand WA-08 Congressman Dave Reichert condemn Limbaugh’s remarks.

****

Will Norm Coleman denounce Rush Limbaugh for “phony soldiers” comment?
*******

Pallone Blasts Rush Limbaugh, Implies Republicans are Hypocrites

Earlier today Republican hero and recovering drug addict Rush Limbaugh slandered thousands of American soldiers who are risking their lives overseas as “phony soldiers.” Why? Solely because they question the rationale for the Iraq War.

*****

(link) How about leading conservative host Rush Limbaugh, a man who has regularly interviewed the president, vice-president, and numerous other conservative Republican luminaries?

During the September 26 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Rush Limbaugh called service members who advocate U.S. withdrawal from Iraq “phony soldiers.”

From the DCCC:

Chairman Chris Van Hollen Condemns Rush Limbaugh’s Outrageous Comment that Soldiers Who Support Withdrawing From Iraq Are “Phony Soldiers”

“Rush Limbaugh’s personal attack on our men and women in uniform is reprehensible. It minimizes the sacrifice our troops in Iraq and their families are making and has no place in the public discourse. Rush Limbaugh owes our military and their families an apology for his hurtful comments that minimize their service to our country.”

******

(link) John Amato: “I’m calling on the Senate to pass an amendment or uphold their latest one and condemn Rush Limbaugh’s cowardly acts on our troops! Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne in Iraq wrote a NY Times op-ed—criticizing the war in Iraq, and had the bravery to suggest that it was time to develop an exit strategy. Two of them just died. Are they phonies, Rush? Where’s the “sense of the Senate” on this outrage?

Let me be clear, I don’t give a shit that you oppose the U.S. being in Iraq, or oppose our Middle East policy, or how we use our troops or what our military priorities should be.
When I read lefty blog I’m interested in the discourse many provide and of course I don’t agree with much of it, but I think it’s important for me to be knowledgeable on issues and to remain grounded in my viewpoints I have an obligation (to myself) to be informed, understand and comprehend opposing viewpoints without filters. Whether it’s Media Matters or the MSM, John Stewart, Keith Olberman on the left, Newsbusters, Rush, O’Reilly on the right.
Especially since I dedicate so much time keeping up this paltry blog

Through my extensive blog reading on the right and left, watching the MSM, watching a lot of You Tube and taking in countless other political information sources I have a pretty fair grasp on the world around me and one thing that Rush taught me when I first started listening to his show (from day one) and why no other on air pundit comes close to him is he encourages his listeners to seek out the truth. Don’t simply take his word on issues, read and hear the bullshit on the left for yourself.
You should never be afraid at seeking opposing viewpoints and listening to opposing viewpoints.
This is why people who say they don’t watch Fox News are cowards and tells you everything you need to know about them intellectually.
I would never EVER, encourage anyone NOT to listen to a MSM network,  a liberal talk show host, or a source like the NY Times, it’s not even logical.

Far too many people are just too fucken lazy to seek the truth on issues and choose to allow their minds to be filtered.

This is not about “standing up for” Rush, dude is a fucken multi-millionaire, he could care less what I think.

This is about simple honesty. If the goal of the left and lefty blogsphere is simply to WIN then by all means distort, lie, manipulate, conceal. Ignorance is obviously bliss in the liberal world.

French Foreign Minister Calls Code Pink ‘Stupid’ During Interruption

Tuesday, September 25th, 2007
batwoman.jpgFrom the blog Amy Proctor, I’m telling you these women in Code Pink have some serious mental health issues.
It’s almost sad to watch them make complete asses of themselves in very public forums.****

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who last week said ”We must prepare for the worst” against Iran (referring to war), addressed Center for Strategic and International Studies where he was interrupted by (sigh, who else..) Code Pink.

Richardson talks to God?

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Found this on Daily Kos, by Kos, funny, someone on the left as loony as Ron Paul.

jesus3rich.JPGRichardson is really becoming the buffoon of this campaign.

“Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons related to the Lord, should be the first caucus and primary.”

“Reasons related to the Lord”? What, are the Iowa caucuses in scripture? What the hell does that even mean? What, did God personally come down and wax poetic on Iowa with Bill?

And I’d really like to see where in the Constitution Iowa is guaranteed “first in the nation” status.

What a stupid thing to say. What an epic pander — easily the biggest pander this cycle.

Meanwhile, his chief consultant/advisor, Steve Murphy, is going on Fox News to yuk it up with Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter — and actually spent time defending Coulter.

I can’t believe I ever flirted with voting for the guy. He’s now down in Kucinich/Gravel territory on my list.

Bill O’Reilly’s arrogance boils over

Friday, April 6th, 2007

I love that Bill goes after child predators, and does do some good work but this is just retarded.
I think illegal immigration is an important topic, it should be addressed.
Having open boarders hurts the country in many ways, but I’m not about “hating” on Mexicans.
This is WAY too personal, the drunk driver that killed the individuals should be just that, a “stupid drunk driver” not an “illegal Mexican drunk driver.”

O’Reilly does the same shit when he takes cheep shots at black rappers. Long story Google it if you wish, but there seems to me more of a “racial” component to some of his arguments and his over the top ranting like the one seen here illustrates it perfectly.

Although O’Reilly has a number of best selling books and has high cable ratings Rush Limbaugh is till the standard bearer on the right. You would NEVER see or hear Rush engage in this type of ridiculous fist pounding meltdown.
If you have your own show and you have to shout down your own guests to make a point then why have a fucken show?
