BREAKING: JUSTICE IS SERVED!!

Also--and I'm gonna put it right out there--I WAS WRONG.

I was dead sure that Zimmerman was going to be found guilty, somehow, some way, logic, reason and evidence be damned.

I was wrong.  Praise God.

Goodbye, Glenn.

I can no longer excuse your increasingly destructive behavior toward the Conservative movement.  My links to your site and to the Blaze are now gone.

I don't know what's going on with you lately, sir, but I do hope you come to your senses.  Until I'm satisfied that this is the case, I cannot, in good concience, give you any publicity.

God be with you.

How Glenn Beck got his groove back

I Have To Link To This Beck Clip

Posted by Ann Barnhardt - January 6, AD 2012 5:59 PM MST

I was utterly disgusted when Beck accused anyone who would vote for Gingrich over Obama of being racist a few weeks ago. Utterly disgusted.  

But, I have to post the link to this Beck video clip from today, because I agree with every single word. Every single syllable. Every single phoneme. Fair is fair.
 
CLICK HERE AND WATCH EVERY SECOND OF THIS VIDEO TWICE.
 
Many of you put signature footers at the bottom of your emails. I would recommend putting this Osama Bin Laden quote on your emails, on your websites, where ever. Post this quote on ANY thread that a RonPaulbot tries to hijack. Because at the end of the day, this quote from Bin Laden himself is the absolute simple quintessence of the totalitarian political system that is islam. Here it is:

"Our talks with the infidel West and our conflict with them ultimately revolve around one issue—one that demands our total support, with power and determination, with one voice—and it is: Does Islam, or does it not, force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually? Yes. There are only three choices in Islam: [1] either willing submission [conversion]; or [2] payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam; or [3] the sword — for it is not right to let him [an infidel] live. The matter is summed up for every person alive: Either submit, or live under the suzerainty of Islam, or die."
--Osama Bin Laden
(The Al Qaeda Reader, p. 42)

Beck mis-read the word "suzerainty" as "scrutiny". Wrong. "Suzerainty" is a French-origin word ("suzerain") that means "overlordship". Google it and look it up for yourself. Bin Laden uses exactly the right word in this context.
 
Please note that Bin Laden confirms my premise that islam is NOT a religion, but a completely earthly totalitarian political system:
 
"force people by the power of the sword to submit to its authority corporeally if not spiritually"
"payment of the jizya, through physical, though not spiritual, submission to the authority of Islam"
 
Thank you. Musloids do not give a flying flip if you actually believe any of their pseudo-religious crap. Hell, only the inbred mentally retarded ones actually believe any of that nonsense themselves. Why don't they care if you actually believe any of it? Why are they satisfied with mere physical submission without any spiritual "submission"? Why are they satisfied with "infidels" merely paying a tax (jizya)?
 
BECAUSE IT ISN'T A RELIGION AT ALL. Islam isn't about "allah" or "paradise" or "prayer" or "spirituality" or how human beings should relate to one another or how human beings should relate to a "god" or the eternal fate of the human soul. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT. Islam is about acquiring physical, earthly territory and installing a totalitarian government over the earth that provides a cadre of "elites" masquerading as some sort of "clergy" with massive decadent wealth and as much twisted perverted sex as they want, including homosexual and heterosexual pedohilia, ephebophilia, concubinage, incest, bestiality and necrophilia. There is nothing new under the sun. They want power, they want money and they want sex. The "religious" aspects are a stone-cold con, which Bin Laden himself declared in no uncertain terms.
 
Spread the word.

The Palin/Beck controversy

Yeah, yeah--more Linky No Thinky.  I'm a little behind the curve of late; moving freight for constant 11-hour nights makes me loopy.  (On the plus side, I've lost 15 pounds in a month and I'm getting totally ripped.  (OK, 'ripped' for a 42-year-old truck driver.  Cut me some slack.))

I've been reading the pervading screams of outrage over Brian Sack's recent Palin jokes on GBTV, all of which seem to demand that Sack should be shot, Beck should be tarred and feathered, and the entirety of GBTV should be razed to the ground with salt and acid sown upon the ruins, that one electron should not stand upon another.  Now, in the interest of full disclosure, I will state that I dig Glenn Beck.  I will also point out that the blogger linked herein is a Mormon, as is Mr. Beck, so there may or may not be a certain conflict of interest here--make up your own mind.  But she's got some very good points to make, and you should all read them now.

It doesn’t do us or Sarah herself any favors if we start to see (and overreact to) attacks where none were intended, or even where there’s enough reasonable doubt in the matter that a more reasonable person would just let it alone. We (justifiably) poo-pooed Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter for decrying how unreasonable we Palinistas are, but stuff like this is only handing them (and others like them) more ammunition. It’s the flip side of Palin Derangement Syndrome, in which anything anyone says that could possibly be construed as a negative toward the Governor is immediately decried as vile hatemongering. It’s wrong when they do it, and it’s wrong when we do it.

Yeah...it's exactly like that.  One of the main reasons the Right has been losing the culture wars is because we've been derided as straitlaced, uptight and not being able to take a joke.  And this, I'm sorry to say, is an accusation not without merit.  Whether the joke is funny or not, we have to know "when to, and when not to."  This routine was a complete non-issue until some of my fellow Palinistas went insane about it, and I'm asking you all to please knock it off. 

If we've learned nothing else over the past three years, it's that Governor Palin is more than capable of taking care of herself.  We must counter the lies, we must advance the facts.  We must stand firm in our support.  But if we allow ourselves to become as shrill and intolerant as the Obamanoids, then we lose big.

Think about it, please.  We're not going to prevail by becoming what we oppose.

I hate moving.

Hate hate hate.  Luckily, I'm moving into a house I actually bought, so once this move is done, I'm not moving again until they cart me out in a bag.  This explains why posting is light and random, and why it's lots of "linky-no-thinky."

Once this cluster bungle is over, I'll be back in ass-whooping form.  In the meantime, I'm giving much love to Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, and calling the Dems who literally turned tail and fled the state to thwart the will of the people a bunch of yellow-bellied cowards.  And as for the spoiled communist cheeseheads posing as educators--welcome to the real world.  Suck it up and get back to work.

Breaking News: Glenn Beck admits enforced-Christianity agenda!!

Those of you familiar with Family Guy may remember Brian's girlfriend Jillian.  I've figured out who MacFarlane based her on.

Breaking news from Sharp As A Marble here.

Scooped

This is the problem for procrastinators like myself...by the time I get around to writing a post on current events, I find someone way more talented has done it better already.  Here's Larry Correia's opening salvo:

It is time to help out my racist/hick/red-state/hate-monger readership again. Some of you have been confused by the media coverage of yesterday’s tragic shooting. As a “wise Latino” who understands the media, let me help you:

A left-wing, Communist Manifesto reading, schizophrenic, nut-bar, dirt bag that posts obviously deranged YouTube videos about mind control, who has no association with the Tea Party, shoots a congresswoman = SARAH PALIN IS EVIL

Yes, that can be confusing. I know. Bear with me. Remember the last time we went over this kind of thing:

A Muslim in the US Army, after preaching Jihad and corresponding with Al Queda in Yemen, goes on a shooting rampage while screaming “Allah Akbar” = NOT TERRORISM

Clear?

I know you may be thinking that the correct thing to do here is to take the assassin, try him, and execute him accordingly, but that would be incorrect. The proper thing to do is pin the whole thing on the people that the media don’t like first.

Remember:

Tea Party movement is about how regular Americans are sick of paying too much in taxes and the government is too big and ineffectual = SETTING A DANGEROUS AND VIOLENT TONE

Making a movie about the assassination of George Bush = ART

RTWT @ MHN.

In order to ensure peace and stability...

...America will be reorganized as a part of the first Planetary Empire!!

Yeah.  It's exactly like that.

Who is George Soros?  He's the ultimate enemy of liberty, whether you know it or not.  He's worse than a Bond villain.  Worse than something out of a comic book.  Why?  Because he's for real.

Predictably, the Usual Gang of Idiots Leftists Same Thing are spinning like a yo-yo convention, calling Glenn Beck's expose of the Puppetmaster all sorts of things...in particular, "anti-semitic."  Really?  We're talking about George Soros, the guy who worked for the Nazis to steal the property of Jews and send them to a horrific end...and Mr. Beck is the 'anti-semite?' 

Soros, the man who 'broke the Bank of England,' is known as an economic war criminal.  He crushes entire economies just to watch them die.  He funds pretty much every Leftist organization and media outlet on the planet.  (To give credit where it's due, I agree with him on the legalizing drugs thing, but it's said that Hitler loved kittens and Stalin loved to drink, so having one or two things in common does not lead to an alliance.)

As Mr. Beck exhorts us, "Do your own homework!  Don't take anyone's word for anything!"  The best place to start would be the books that Mr. Soros has written/had written about himself and his life.  Don't trust NPR, MediaMatters, HuffPo or any other news source funded wholly or in part by Soros or his foundations...they're bought and paid for.  Make sure of your sources, and if you can't find any that are objective, do what I do:  Read them all, then see what they have in common.  That part will usually be factual.  When you have the pure facts, you can make up your own mind about the situation with a little thought.

Yes, I'm aware that many people will see the name "George Soros" and immediately write off this post and this whole blog as a mess of paranoid whackjob conspiracy garbage.  I accept that.  But before you click out, ask yourself one thing...

...why was that your first reaction?

Economics shoved right up your...

My apologies to the Bayou Renaissance Man, who would no doubt disapprove of the post title.  But seriously--if you don't get it by now, there simply isn't anything more to say.

The laws of economics are as real as the laws of physics.  You can ignore the laws, but you cannot ignore the consequences of your ignorance.

Start learning.  Or face some very nasty consequences.

Apparently, there's some pathetic liberal circle-jerk out there called "stfuteabaggers" at tumbler.com.  I'm not giving it a link...I'm sure you can track it down.

Owned.

So, over 400 leftist organizations with lots of money and coercive ability, decided to try to eclipse the massive turnout of the 8/28 Restore Honor Rally.  They called their little event A Bunch Of Communists Whining Together or something, I wasn't really paying attention.  They spent a not-insignificant amount of time, money and effort attempting to boost attendance, whereas the 8/28'ers made the decision and effort to attend out of their own mind and their own pocket.

So, how'd the 10/2/10 Rally do?

Yep, they really showed us, didn't they?  Obviously, we're a bunch of 'radicals' and 'extremists,' while they represent mainstream America.  At least, that's what goes through the lukewarm tapioca pudding that passes for their minds.

(And, yep...they trashed the place again.)

Left Coast Resistance has more on the subject by Conservative Perspective and The War Planner.

Yet more at American Elephant.  Looks like CSPAN actually tried to pass off pictures from 8/28 as being from the Communist Party Event.  But there's no Leftist bias in the LameStream Media.  Really.

Still more at The Liberty Zone(ya gotta love Nicki--she makes Ayn Rand look like a Wymmynz Studies major).  And because of this post, Marooned in Marin just made my blogroll.

Enough to make one cry

Some of my younger readers will need a small history lesson, which I shall impart thusly.

Long, long ago, in the dim and distant past, as we were still hopping from one foot to another while the crust of the Earth cooled...there was no internet.  Yes, it's true.

My fellow Americans, I give you...the dissection of a "Concern Troll."

The 8/28 Rally

No, I wasn't able to go. But, dammit, I so wish I had been.

Excerpts(full story at the link):

As people streamed in, like ants to a picnic, it was the most orderly, polite, and helpful affair as people took position for the rally the next day. Shouts of "Welcome!" and "Thank you for coming!" rang out from strangers.

So, these people didn’t have any wheelchair-bound friends coming. They didn’t know anyone in wheelchairs, but they were on the lookout for STRANGERS in wheelchairs who MIGHT be coming, and proactively decided they were going to reserve a space for them, on their own, coming to the rally site at midnight the night before to do it.

When K. told them he was the only one of us camping out that night, these same people said, "Well, it’s official, you are a McCallister now. You are now part of the McCallister Family from Willmette, North Carolina for the duration of this rally and beyond if you like". ... When K. tried to curl up on the ground with his backpack for a pillow, the McCallisters said, "Oh, no you don’t buddy. We have all this space right here on the blanket, so you are sleeping there. And here’s a real pillow. Do you want any hot chocolate and s’mores before you go to sleep?" The McCallisters shared everything they brought with K. and adopted him into their group.

It was very rough for some sleeping out on the dirt, grass, rocks, and cement, and we’ve seen people lose their manners and temper at large events like this in Chicago, waiting just an hour or so for some program to start on the lawn in Grant Park. But there were no arguments we could hear…no incidents of people acting out in anger…no fights over territory on that grass.

They only had to say it ONCE, and then the crowd just politely told anyone who would come later, not knowing, that they had been told to move from those paths and that we needed to keep those paths cleared in case of emergencies. No one argued. No one tried to defy the system. No one thought they were entitled to break the rules. They just peacefully complied and policed themselves…and the paths were clear for emergencies all day.

By the time the rally was about to begin, the McCallister family had dispatched itself to find anyone in a wheelchair and bring them close enough to see. They found three men in wheelchairs and one grandma. All four of them became "honorary McCallisters" too, and we all sat together in the space the McCallisters had reserved.

We all saw, at various times, people get up from their places to make coffee or donut runs. When they would get up, they would ask the people immediately around them if they wanted anything too.

As the rally was getting closer to starting, we saw people all throughout the crowd hold up garbage bags and ask if others in the crowd could take some of them and disperse them, so that no trash would be left behind.

Throughout the day, as people would try to make their way through the crowd, returning from coffee runs or bathroom breaks, people were so kind in letting them pass through and get by. "You need to get back to your family? Here, let me help you," they’d say, with thank-yous extended in return.

So everyone in the crowd seemed respectful of one another, and tried to make sure they did nothing to take away from the enjoyment of those around them. So, there was no talking. There was no loud eating. There was no distracting behavior. It was the most respectful any of us have ever seen a large crowd behave.

When Governor Sarah Palin spoke at the rally, and told stories about wounded veterans, the crowd became incredibly emotional and we saw many people crying. STRANGERS gave them comfort, held them, and joined in for a tear or two because the Governor was so moving, and the tales she told so patriotic and full of emotion.

As the sun really started to beat down, and people really started to feel the heat, the Momma Grizzlies made sure everyone around them had water. They had brought more than they needed because they figured strangers would need water too.

K. now has a place to stay if ever he’s in Wilmette, North Carolina. The rest of us now have places to go and visit where people we met at this rally live. And they expect us all to come. These were not just throwaway "let’s do lunch" invitations. It was incredible.

People left the area in an orderly fashion, walking out like streams of ants, in single file lines, just as they came in. Elderly people who had trouble walking on the uneven ground got the assistance of everyone around them. Paths were cleared, without anyone having to ask, for those in wheelchairs. As we’ve noted before, but can never emphasize enough, THE LAWNS LOOKED BETTER WHEN THE CROWD LEFT, THAN BEFORE WE CAME.

Over and over, certain people and groups have drilled it into our heads that people like Glenn Beck and Governor Palin are just mercenaries out to serve their own political and financial ambitions. That America is oppressive, America is selfish, America is uncaring. That we are an evil country, responsible for all the woes that have ever befallen the world.

Wrong. This is what the real America's all about. Courteous, respectful, patriotic, self-reliant, decent, kind folks. They come in all colors, all faiths, any category you can think of. And, as the Christians say, "By their fruits shall ye know them."

Read the last paragraph in red, above. I can't find a still photo, but there's plenty of video out there showing the grounds after the rally. Clean as they've ever been.

Now let's take a look at the aftermath of Obama's inauguration, populated overwhelmingly with all those 'caring, progressive' folks who--in a truly stunning episode of irony--claim to care about the environment.









One group is the product of the quintessential American mentality of responsibility and respect. The other has been raised to believe that they don't have to care about the consequences of their actions, that they don't owe respect to anything or anyone, and that it's someone else's job to take care of them.

So, which country do you want to live in?
