As it is, members of our armed forces who put their lives on the line to defend America are also defending people like too many in Berkeley for whom the very word America, and the American flag, bring only sneers.Unfortunately, Berkeley is not unique. A professor at Harvard who put an American flag on his car after 9-11 provoked looks of astonishment from his colleagues. They wondered what was wrong with him.All across the country, there are professors who push for keeping military recruiters off campus and for banning ROTC. Apparently if they don’t like the military, then other people — such as students — should not be allowed to make up their own minds whether they want to join or not.

Liberals in general, and academics in particular, like to boast of their open-mindedness and acceptance of non-conformity. But they mean not conforming to the norms of society at large.

They have little or no tolerance to those who do not conform to the norms of academic political correctness. Nowhere else in America is free speech so restricted as on academic campuses with speech codes.

In Berkeley, as elsewhere, the left has learned to cloak their anti-military intolerance with the magic words, “We support the troops.” The liberal media use the same line when they undermine the military.

In this, as in other things, the flagship of the media is the New York Times. Unsubstantiated charges against American troops in Iraq are front page news but incredible acts of heroism in battle are seldom reported there, if at all.

Although things go wrong in every war, things that went wrong in Iraq — whether large or small — have been front page news in the New York Times. But when the military surge was followed by things going right, the Iraq war was suddenly no longer front page news.

Back during the Vietnam war, the media criticized the American military for their emphasis on enemy casualties or “body count.” Today the media have been fixated on American body count.

What has been accomplished by the troops who lost their lives in battle has been of no interest to those who claim to be “supporting the troops.”

Feel like crap today, and too lazy to post much. So here is one of my rants from one year ago today. As you can see still bitter, still ranting, but having fun.
I gotta go find some You Tube comedy.
***********************
Ok, I have been a bit pre-occupied today but this post has been simmering since yesterday after listening to the Bill O’Reilly radio show.   He had
some dude on his show who was talking about how the internet and blogs have done considerable damage to American politics because of the mean spirited comments that come from these countless anonymous sources.
Without going into all of the bitching, moaning and complaining about the anonymity of the internet I want to tell political pundits, newspaper writers, television commentators, political hacks and the rest of you who have problems with us bloggers to fuck off.  We are here to stay. Get use to it.

I don’t care that you may find the comments of some offensive and a little over the top. I particularly don’t care for your bullshit call for civility in dealing with the way we talk about these over the top, crooked, evil, money grubbing political bastards.   But here’s the flip side - you don’t have to care about what I say either!  I call that a fair trade!

My opinions are just that, mine!  Whether it’s under the persona of Snoop or any other name I decide to use.   Using a blog or the internet to express oneself is just one more way (and a good one in my opinion) to exercise free speech rights.

Some idiot last week - in response to my about Michael Richards - moaned about me hiding behind my blog. Someone,  please explain to me just what the fuck is that supposed to mean?  If he knew me in person, or if we had the discussion face to face, it wouldn’t change what I say one whit. The only reason I don’t give out my name and address is because I don’t want my place of employment to have to explain me or have my family and friends become the target of some crazy shit.
But get real folks, if anyone gave a shit what I thought, and wanted to find me it tis possible.

This little blogs reaches a few hundred individuals a day, that’s it.
So who the hell am I influencing, nobody, no one damm person.

But for those who want to know, let me just outline the person behind this blog.

I am a simple working stiff; find the national median income and that is what I make.
I’m paying (WAS LOL!) back taxes from a screw up with the state IRS folks. I’m getting fucked over financially and legally,  but what can I do?  If they owe me a refund after this is all sorted out, it will be windfall.

I have 3 kids, 5 grandkids, 2 brothers a mother a father a very lovely and loving wife, a crazy but loving daughter in law and a son-in-law who is a great person.

I’m a Republican.  Always was and always will be, despite some idiots in the Party.

I am a 49er, A’s Warrior, Giants and Kansas University fan. I am a NCAA Video Football game junkie.  My favorite shows are everything from the old TV series such as “All in the Family” and Dallas, to today’s Dexter, Rome, CSI and the Sopranos.   

I like Baby Ruth candy bars and Crown Royal.  And I love Teddy bears.  I listen to Rush Limbaugh, and have for more than 18 (19) years;  in fact I listened to him long before it was fashionable.  I am a veteran; in the Air Force 9 years; I enlisted and was honorably discharged as a sergeant. While in the service, I managed to see France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Spain, England and a few places in between.
I have been to most of the U.S. except for Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington State and Alaska. I’d like to see those states too.

I was given a baseball scholarship that I didn’t use, and even played minor league ball for about a minute. I never graduated from college, but if I could tolerate spending a year or so at one I could get a degree in a heartbeat if someone else would pay the tuition.

I have met several Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize winners, a number of former U.S. Senators and Congressmen, several key military leaders past and present, and a former United States President. I have flown in an F-16, and a KC-135R and several other Air Force planes.
My brother took me on the aircraft carrier Enterprise when I was a kid.

I have worked my ass off in my community, raised money for worthy causes and volunteered time in many circumstances to help folks.  And I have been rewarded for those activities on numerous occasions, with things like plaques and titles!

I have been called a nigger numerous times, been discriminated against countless times, and been the only nigger in a room full of white people more times than I can count.  I have never been harassed by a police officer as an adult, but was carted off in a police car once for being the only nigger kid in an upper middle class neighborhood.  Which is where I lived by the way.

I take meds to keep my mind in check and I enjoy the view of my 16′ by 5′ seamless glass window in my office at work, likely the nicest office in the city. If not the whole state.

I’m black and I’m proud.

So when idiot political leaders, act like a bunch of hypocrites, or say stupid shit like “macca”, when they raise my taxes for  political pork, utter racially insensitive shit like “the only way you can only get so many blacks in the same room is to invite the hotel staff” (or whatever that jackass Dean said), when stupid Hollywood actors shout “NIGGER” to an audience or say “Americans are stupid” or that America is selfish,” when anti-American politicians want to be sworn in using the Quran, hide bribery money in a freezer, or a mayor who refers to his city as “chocolate city”, when Muslims use women and children as war shields, or racist fucks use their kids to sing racist songs to country music tunes, when Gays compare the civil right struggles of blacks with their own or pro-choice advocates refuse to be called what they really are - “pro-abortion advocates” - when ignorant ass people still insist that Bush was the cause of 9/11 or those same stupid jackasses chant “no blood for oil” while driving an SUV and decorate their fake oil product Christmas tree while the house is kept nice and toasty with gas, when white Christians only goes to church with other white Christians, likewise black only worshiping with
other blacks, or when black women portray themselves as hoe bitches in rap music videos……..then this guy called Snoop, the man described above,  will give his opinion.  You can reply to him if you’d like. 

If someone or some network wants to pay me a good wage for my sharing my opinions, I’ll gladly post my name, tone down the language, tone down the rhetoric, be kinder, nicer more civil.

Meanwhile, I dedicate a few hours a day to giving my two cents on various topics. As long as this is my hobby, not my job, I’m not under any obligation (morally legally or any other way) to be more civil and engage in a civil, friendly debate.  If you don’t like to read my stuff, then don’t.  I don’t care.

Hell, I had some right leaning bloggers tell me long ago that they would not link to me because of my use of “colorful” language. I have a relatively few people linking to me, when you consider my hit counts.  I
guess that a ranting Negro is not someone many people want to associate with or certainly link to.  Their loss.

I could not even get Michelle Malkin to accept me as a friend on her “my space” page, but she certainly has lots of confederate flag rednecks there, despite me linking to her video blog and website.  I guess she’d rather have red-necks who don’t cuss then someone who agrees with her who uses the “F” word a little bit.

So the indignation or upset about my blog comes not only from people who disagree with me but also those who more likely agree.  I’m not a pleasant and well mannered Negro.

So in terms of a civil debate, what the hell is there to debate if you are always required to remain polite?

If you want to try and convince me that liberalism is good for America, we have nothing to discuss or debate.   If you want to try and convince me that global warming will kill all of us in 20 years, and that Al Gore has something meaningful to say, we have nothing to discuss or debate.  If you want to believe that racism is over in America, we have nothing to discuss or debate.  If you want to believe that Hillary Clinton will make a great president, we have nothing to discuss.

If you believe that Bush was responsible for 9/11…..shit you are just flat a retard. 

Bloggers have a responsibility to expose the bed sores of American culture, in it rawest form.
I certainly don’t believe this is a hindrance to the American political scene, but a huge asset. We may have crazies among us (myself included perhaps) but all too often, it just such voices that are the “Canaries in the mine” - i.e. the ones who say first and loudest that we are in trouble.   So you better listen, even if you don’t like the messages, for your own safety!

Ryan Sager, recently came to KU and spoke about politics. This very young man has already attained much in the way of respect in many circles.  While at KU he said the most honest thing I have heard said about politics: “Any normal human being, who actively seeks political office, must be looked upon dubiously.”

Politics is showbiz for the ugly. Frankly we are obligated to shine the bright light of scrutiny on these cockroaches, to keep them from corrupting our society any more than it already is.
If George Soros, Carl Rove, Bill O’reilly whoever, wants to pay Snoop for this blog space, I’ll happily turn it over to them. I’m sure they will turn it over to a more “civil toned” individual.
However, until I receive that fat check, I say to you, most sincerely and sensitively - fuck off.

This is what I regard to as a great blog find.
Ya see folks this is why regardless of your political views you NEED to read blogs on BOTH sides of the political fence. I learn so much from reading what folks have to say who are on the polar opposite side of the political fence that I.

I read this post that I found via Lefty Blogs and website that has headlines of blogs on (of course) the left.
This particular post was found on the blog: Down With Tyranny! His tagline:
“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.”
Not terribly original because I have seen this particular quote on countless liberal blogs. Never mind that because I’m sure as hell know folks who happen to find this site must think, “man this mutherfucker is crazy” and they would be correct. This blog is very much me.

Now to this post, “Right Wingers Mostly Hate Music, Surprised?“
Is this dude crazy? I’m serious, has the folks on the left become so delirious that now the proverbial chasm between the left and right must be made wider by pulling some ridiculous study to show that I guess those on the right are somehow mentally and socially challenged and that they are so fucked up that they don’t even like MUSIC for God sakes!?

A couple of days ago George Clooney made some jackass statement that basically if you have never smoked a joint you are not qualified to be president. What the hell, was he high when he said that dumb shit!?

I don’t have very many detailed conversations with hard core liberals, mostly because liberals find it difficult to have a conversation with me because they simply do not understand me, I might as well be from another planet. Because all of their stereotypical bullshit they say and think about conservatives I fuck up all of their stereotypes.

On the music thing, I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area listening to music from Tower of Power, to the Average White Band to the Ohio Players, John Coltrane and Santana.
My musical taste comes from a couple of things, being the only black kid in an all white neighborhood I got introduced to music I may not have listened to if I were a black kid growing up in NYC or DC.

Ya know folks I’m not sure what to say about this post, but if we are getting to the point in this society that even our musical tastes are being scrutinized and is used to “separate” us we are in serious trouble.

The Norman Lear Center teamed up with Zogby to conduct an extensive national survey examining political beliefs and entertainment preferences this past summer. I don’t watch enough TV to relate to it beyond agreeing that only someone with a reptilian brain would watch Fox but I was very interested in the musical findings. The short version: “liberals enjoy a broad range of music, while conservatives dislike most music genres.”

• Out of 15 musical genres, conservatives were more likely than the rest of the respondents to listen to only two of them: country and gospel. What genre are they least likely to listen to, compared to the rest of the respondents? Not punk or hip-hop, as you might expect, but world music. World music is also the music genre where we see the greatest difference between conservatives and liberals.• Conservatives are the least likely group to listen to jazz (34% vs. 44% vs. 53%) and reggae (8% vs. 20% vs. 26%).

• Over 90% of conservatives said they never enjoy reggae, electronic music or Latin music. Over 95% said they never enjoy world music and punk music.

• Liberals, on the other hand, are more likely than other respondents to enjoy almost every music genre, including world, punk, Latin, hip-hop and rap, blues, reggae, electronica, R&B and soul, jazz, folk and traditional music. Rock was the most popular genre among liberals (67%).

• Although all political types claimed they enjoy classical music, moderates were the least enamored with it (55.5% listen to it compared to almost 62% of the rest of respondents). Moderates also showed their distaste for folk & traditional music (72.5% said they don’t listen to it, compared to 62.4% of the rest of the respondents), and they joined conservatives in their distaste for world music (90% said they don’t listen to it, compared to 71% of liberals.)

• Moderates’ favorite music is rock (58%). Conservatives’ favorite music is classical (60%) followed by country (56%) and rock (55%).

In 1940 Woody Guthrie wrote “This Land is Your Land” as an antidote to Irving Berlin’s grating and overexposed “God Bless America.” Essentially it is a very patriotic song, but one with a progressive message of love for our country, not an empty, static, frosty and detached anthem like Berlin’s. Guthrie’s lyrics, in fact, changed over time. Although the ultimate change came not from Woody himself but from Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper who covered it on Root Hog Or Die in 1989, with a little less reverence than Dylan, Peter Paul & Mary, Counting Crows or Bruce Springsteen. If wingnuts were uncomfortable with Woody’s original– or the warning on his guitar, aimed their way– they will positively hate Mojo Nixon’s take:

From Sister Toldjah

David Paul Kuhn at The Politico reports this morning that liberal Democrats still remain hesitant about describing themselves as “liberals”:

Hillary Rodham Clinton was asked this summer if she would describe herself as a “liberal.”The Democratic front-runner shied away, saying the “word” — noticeably not using the word — has taken on a connotation that “describes big government.

“I prefer the word ‘progressive,’” she said. It has a “real American meaning.”

Then she expanded the term to “modern progressive,” and, finally, clarified that she was a “modern American progressive.”

Hmmm. “Modern American progressive” must be fancy-speak for “Socialist.”

Another incident the mainstream media found unfit to print was the “gender switch” day planned at Adams Middle School in Brentwood, California. Fortunately, it has now been canceled, apparently due to the efforts of a horrified parent and the Pacific Justice Institute:

The mother of a seventh-grade student at Adams Middle School was alarmed when she heard that on the last day of the school’s “Spirit Week,” students were being encouraged to dress like the opposite sex. Perhaps even more disturbingly, parents were given virtually no advance notice from the school and found out about the event after flyers were posted throughout the campus. When this parent met with the principal to express her concerns, she was told the event would continue this Friday as planned, and she could keep her son home from school if he did not want to participate. The parent contacted Pacific Justice Institute on Monday, which advised her on enlisting other parents’ support and communicating with the school. PJI also began laying the groundwork to hold the school accountable to the public if it did not reverse course by Tuesday.

In a 180-degree turnaround, the flyers posted about the gender switch day had disappeared by Tuesday morning, and the school confirmed that the event had been canceled. The school is now encouraging students to wear school colors on Friday. Parents expressed relief that their middle-school students would not be pressured to cross-dress or be subjected to a sexually-charged school environment.

Middle school means sixth through eighth grade (ages ∼11–13) — just the right time for government authorities to help kids discover their inner transvestite, unless parents raise a big enough stink.

Hat tip: NewsBusters, on a tip from Cheetah.

Folks I just got hit by a brick. Haters, wipe that smile off your face, not literally but figuratively.

I’m having a conversation with a young college student, nice young man, great guy, and smart, involved but very Democrat and liberal.
He pokes me about some e-mails I sent to a colleague about the myth of global warming, from my essential stack of stuff internet pile and blog archives.

Just as most bloggers I read so much material and I try to organize and bookmark articles on various topics so when leftists run the standard talking points on whatever topic I can bombard them with information until they cry uncle.
However as many of you on the right know when we present those on the left with information its called “propaganda.”

Anywho, I’m talking to this young man and we chat a bit on global warming and other topics and he make a startling statement “there simply aren’t two sides to every issue, and global warming is one of those issues.”

Yes I know some of you are like well duh Snoop, that’s how all leftists think, but I was taken aback by his candor.

We then started talking about a few other issues, school vouchers being one. I asked, do you believe that a parent has a fundamental right to send their kids to the school of their choice. He would not answer (I told him to stop playing Hillary and answer) ah, but he was steadfast and said “any voucher program would destroy the foundation of public education.”

Now keep in mind this is a very well (won’t say rich kid, but close) off soon to be a degreed higher education graduate, private school taught.

While switching to various topics he brings up Fox News, he says “I bet you like Fox News because you like the combative nature of their reporting.” I asked him to clarify and he says;

“I want my news to be straight forward, I trust the people out in the field to give me an honest assessment on what is going on, I don’t need to have multiple sides of issues thrown at me, it’s not necessary and it does not accomplish anything. On issues like the war in Iraq, there are not two sides of that issue; we simply should not be there.”

So we switch gears and I ask about Hillary and her promoting the issues of drivers licenses for illegal immigrants, he says;

“she’s right, they should have drivers licenses, I don’t see what is wrong with that. Mainstream media sources would simply report how immigrants having licenses would be a good thing, Fox News however would report on the sinister nature of immigrants having licenses and report on all of the negative instances where illegal immigrants did something bad and would spin the issue in a negative manner”

Now people again, this is not some earth shattering revelation, but this comes from a very smart, driven young man who likely will be a CEO somewhere in the future or someone who I believe will be a big time politician one day, no joke.

I found this conversation enlightening, I don’t openly talk politics with people because like this blog I’m VERY honest about my opinions and some my take my candor the wrong way and frankly many are uncomfortable.

When I put my conversation with the young dude with the chat with my global warming alarmist 40 something co-worker (who says she can’t understand how anyone can not believe that global warming is real) I still can’t help but be struck by the level of resoluteness on issues that even they admittedly know little about.
My global warming friends’ main resource for knowledge on the issue is Gore’s Powerpoint flick!

I’m just left wondering how do you develop that kind of a closed mindset.

Now don’t get me wrong, as I have said, I’m very opinionated, and have very definite views, but even at my age I would never proclaim that there can’t be two sides to some of America’s most complex issues.

These two individuals are symptomatic of today’s liberal Democrats, brainwashed by MSM misinformation, and resistant to any line of thinking that would challenge their realities.

I don’t know whether or not to be amused or frightened.

I found this on the liberal blog: Scoobie Davis Online

Christopher Hayes article ” The New Right-Wing Smear Machine” in The Nation on the under-the-radar spam e-mail smear campaigns by some right-wing operatives and how sites like Snopes.com and BreakTheChain.org have been countering the disinformation. Hayes mentions the now-infamous Hillary/Gold Star Mothers smear started by an operative writing for the right-wing website NewsMax (I wrote about the Gold Star Mothers smear and about NewsMax). It is a thorough article about how unscrupulous meme-creators are using e-mail for the purposes of modern day whisper campaigns. What I found ironic about reading the article online was that it had a Google ad for, of all things, NewsMax.

I found this post humorous, this is an oft repeated liberal blog tactic to get liberal blog sheep to get pissed off and ignore right leaning talking points. Particularly talking points aimed at Hillary Rodham. Here is another old blog entry hightlighting the same old rant.

Some examples:

“the right wing approach to US media - the sort of thing that propaganda historians will one day take apart smear by smear by lie by echo. Reduced to its basic elements, the strategy is both simple and familiar”

1. Have people in the biggest media outlets who run a neocon line, like Michelle Malkin and Bill O’Reilly. That is easy because Murdoch runs most of it and he has been consistently committed to the war.

2. Allow those people to blur the gap between fact and opinion, allowing editorial to stand as journalism.

3. Change the nature of editorial, so opinions can be selected and ventilated with no reference to facts whatsoever - what we would call naked, unadorned ranting.

4. Use the blogosphere to raise smears and false claims, usually based on some tiny fact. Use those facts to ignore or divert arguments.

5. Amplify the smear around the online pundits to create an apparent consensus around a “scandal”.

6. Spread it around the large media conglomerates like Fox.

7. Then claim that the conglomerate is some kind of truth-telling outsider, which is being attacked by “mainstream media”.

8. Use this to make the traditional journalism outlets like the New York Times uneasy, and increase the power of their own neocon elements.

9. Never ever retract - just repeat lies.

10. Revel in the impotence of the truth tellers.

You will see shit loads of articles like the one linked particularly when Hillary officially captures the nomination.
Every Hillary stump speech will include the phrase “Right Wing Smear Machine.”

Let’s get real. I get e-mails from Newsmax and a few other right leaning sites that have these bullshit, “breaking news” crap about Democrats and what they are doing.
However I subscribe to far more of the Democratic left leaning sites and campaigns just to see what they are whining about.

I take what I read from a SINGLE source with a grain of salt. If the story is juicy enough and it interests me, I look to see what right AND left leaning blog sites are writing about it.

THEN I go to the major news sites, to see the spin. What I’m getting at, is I do my homework.
If Newsmax were to send me an e-mail link saying “Hillary wants to kill all children” I would be like what the fuck.
They tend to have sensational headlines. But stories that have the elements of truth will rise to the top and will be supported likewise.

Like I have said many times before, the top bloggers on the right will do their research and pick a story apart to get at the truth, headlines on Drudge or Newsmax be dammed.
If something is a flat out “lie” the right wing blogsphere will simply reject it. This can’t be said for liberal bloggers or websites like Media Matters on the left.

You don’t have to take my word for it, take the time to read some of the crazy shit on liberal blogs.

From Wizbang

One might think that an 80-95% decrease in war related deaths in Iraq would be a pretty darn big news. One thinking that would be wrong. Today’s media evidently doesn’t think it is a huge deal. At least it is being reported. It is just not being shouted with the fanfare reserved for increases in violence in Iraq. As George Will put it recently in a “must read” column:

Mainstream media types tend to think that, while rising casualties from Iraq are legitimate news, falling casualties are not. But even so the word got out: The surge strategy was producing results. Anbar province, given up for lost in 2006, turned peaceful and cooperative in 2007. U.S. casualties and Iraqi civilian casualties were down. Brookings scholars Michael O’Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack, no fans of the administration’s conduct of the war, announced on July 30 (in the pages of The New York Times, no less) that this was “a war we might just win.”

Bob Owens pointed me to what Michael Yon has to say about it:

..No thinking person would look at last year’s weather reports to judge whether it will rain today, yet we do something similar with Iraq news. The situation in Iraq has drastically changed, but the inertia of bad news leaves many convinced that the mission has failed beyond recovery, that all Iraqis are engaged in sectarian violence, or are waiting for us to leave so they can crush their neighbors. This view allows our soldiers two possible roles: either “victim caught in the crossfire” or “referee between warring parties.” Neither, rightly, is tolerable to the American or British public.

Check out the interview with Markos Moulitsas (Daily Kos), stuff that most bloggers already know.
I had a chance to speak to him and frankly he talked about many of the same points with me as he did in this interview.
Although I may vehemently disagree with him on most issues, he unlike the groupies on his site “gets it” when it comes to politics and what he is trying to accomplish.
He unfortunately gets lumped in with the loons that are on his site and the other Moonbats left side of the blogsphere.
I truly believe he is much smarter than that and his political passion is genuine.

More Che worship…
From Powerline

Jay Ambrose in the Examiner provides some of the details underlying my previous post about Che Guevara and those who celebrate him.

By Kyle-Anne Shiver from The American Thinker

For the past couple of months, I’ve been reading up on the Clinton/Soros connection into the wee hours of every night.  Ever since George Soros slipped through the backdoor to American political power at the tawdry invitation of Bill and Hillary Clinton, he has carpet-bagged his way to the Democrat Party inner circle and has become the “biggest political fat cat of all time.”  With more than $7 billion in his little Hungarian carpetbag, he thinks he can buy the Presidency for Hillary Clinton and get back into the throne-room of worldly hegemony — the Oval Office.

In 1995, George Soros appeared on PBS with Charlie Rose, and said this:

“I like to influence policy.  I was not able to get to George Bush (Senior).  But now I think I have succeeded with my influence…I do now have great access in the (Clinton) administration.  There is no question about this.  We actually work together as a team.” 

(The Shadow Party; David Horowitz and Richard Poe; p. 91)

So, even though Soros is hedging his political bets by donating to more than one candidate, his intimate ties to Hillary and Bill, going back more than a decade now, make it clear that he would prefer a 2nd Clinton administration, where he is already part of the very in in-crowd. 

Not so fast, you two.  We’re onto you.

Senators Reid and Harkin are taking their cues from Media Matters, a Soros-funded front group.  As Hillary Clinton declared at the recent YearlyKos convention (her confirming sound bite played by Rush Limbaugh on the radio), she was the mastermind behind both The Center for American Progress (her think tank) and Media Matters (her media attack machine).  Hillary provides the name and political connections that Soros craves, and Soros provides the money.  Quite a powerful partnership, what some might even call a conspiracy. 

If you want a complete rundown on how all of Hillary’s and Soros’ “non-profit groups” work together in her plan to take over America, get yourself a copy of the book by her mentor, Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals.  In it, you’ll find the complete outline for throwing Judeo/Christian principles and honesty to the winds of revolutionary fervor.  Hillary Clinton has been the perfectly patient disciple of Alinsky’s since she wrote her thesis about him her senior year at Wellesley in 1969.  If her admiration of Alinsky had died with her thesis, no one would care.  But it didn’t.  He remained a close confidant until his death (The Shadow Party, p. 56) and his tactical fingerprints are all over her projection of the false “Centrist” image she is manipulating to garner political power.  It’s all in the book.

From Hot Air

He doesn’t say who’ll be doing the rating but he digs the idea of Congress yanking Rush Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Radio so presumably they’d be okay to head that up, too. The point he’s ostensibly trying to make is a simple one — that the U.S. government shouldn’t be broadcasting anything that harms its own military’s morale — but a standard that narrow wouldn’t let you regulate very much speech.
So he broadens it with a magnificently Orwellian invocation of “propriety” that has no discernible definition except his own arbitrary judgment about what does and doesn’t “cross the line.” Just laying a little groundwork for the Fairness Doctrine, planting a few seeds which he hopes will flower a few years from now.

I understand that I’m a very partisan guy and I have strong political views, I make fun of Democrats and liberals and some who may peep this site who may be left leaning may find some of my comments mildly offensive, but Wesley Clark is a fool however he is not alone.

I know some liberals that would listen to what Clark says and would think nothing of his ridiculously moronic statements.
How do seemingly reasonable people come to this moronic thinking?
Now forget that Clark has had ample time to get his facts straight on this Rush/Media Matters issue, but he chooses to STILL ignore the facts of the issue and is willing to go on television and distort facts.

Ya know during my work day I come in contact with a lot of folks in social settings all participating in some sort of educational forum or conference.
As I was setting up for one of the events the speaker had some clips from Fox News, I can’t remember the specific topic, but as one of the audience members who came to attend the presentation said to this presenter “you are not going to make us watch the Fox propaganda channel all day are you?” Another individual said, “news source for the less educated and ill informed, I don’t understand how people can watch that”
Man I was fuming, I wanted so bad to say something, these were two old white dudes, who lets just say works in the judicial system.

I still don’t get how any reasonable individual can make a determination on the quality and “truthfulness” of a broadcast network they don’t watch! Or a radio talk show host they don’t listen too.
I have heard more than a few national political pundits (in person) chastise the viewing audience of Fox News and listeners of Rush.

The will for “our” side to WIN, is so prevalent that reasonable processing of political discourse goes out the window.
Even if you don’t like how Fox News reports its stories with a right leaning slant, to make a determination of an individual’s intelligence based on where he or she chooses to get his or her information is just absurd.

I also overheard in a conversation during a presentation by an individual on Iraq, this was during casual conversation before the event, by a former U.S. Ambassador that “this war is purposefully sending poor kids to war as political fodder”, and “today’s military is made up of uneducated poor kids desperate to get a few dollars to feed their families.”

Folks this is the benefit of just listening to people. I rarely have conversations with people on politics or societal issues. That is why doing this blog is more for my self education, and as an outlet to express what is going on in my head than trying to “influence” anybody or anything.

As the lone darkie in so many social situations and because of the nature of my work many times as the fly on the wall, it’s safe for white liberal types to express their true biases and hang-ups during friendly conversation.
“Negros are one of us”, so it’s ok to spew retarded rhetoric, it’s likely that he is either ill informed or is incapable of processing our infallible and insightful liberal logic.

I learned a lot by listening to the leftist protesters in D.C. back in March of this year, the campaign slogans flowing freely from sufficiently programmed young skulls full of mush and the typical mindless liberal chants found at any Code Pink rally or Gay rights parade.

I learned much more from liberals at the 06 Daily Kos convention, as angry radicals leftists made their case promoting progressive causes and castigating the evil conservative propaganda machine.

As silly and inane as Clark sounded in the video, he is only doing his duty; he is on someone’s payroll. He simply sounds like every other clueless liberal promoting the voice of many mindless liberals who applaud the notion that people like Rush should be silenced at all cost, Negros like Clarence Thomas should be kept in his place, teaching kids about same sex partnerships in second grade is acceptable, abortion is birth control and we the taxpayers should be paying for it, God is a myth, income distribution is “necessary,” capitalism is evil, military personnel are uneducated puppets.

I guarantee you liberals will one day want to have blogs “rated” since bloggers are able to successfully filter and scrutinize liberal Democrat rhetoric.
