Being politically correct makes people do really stupid things

The CDC is considering “promoting” circumcision for all males as a way to lower the spread of HIV.

How about not having sex with so many people, especially gay sex, or not sharing needles, as a way to cut down the spread of HIV? You know, not doing some of the actual things that spread HIV?

Nooooooo. That would not be PC to even suggest that.

Then how about this? Consider a tax on those who voluntarily do the actions that contribute to spreading of HIV. How is that different from considering a tax on fast food by reason of overweight people causing a drain on the health care system?

My heart’s broken

Alec Baldwin has decided not to move to Connecticut and run for the Senate against Joe Lieberman.

Lieberman had responded to Baldwin’s musing about running against him by saying, “Make my day.” I do respect that man and his sense of humor.

Of course, Baldwin never moved to another country as he promised he would after Bush won.

Remember the words of Rahm Emanuel who said, "why waste a good crisis"

Try to keep your blood pressure down as you read how Obama plans on sullying the memory of 9/11 by turning it into a national day of governmental service.

Yep, making people work for the Socialist Network and Big Obama Brother is surely a great way to memorialize those innocents who were slaughtered by Islamic fanatical terrorists.

First, stop calling them terrorists. Second, stop calling it a war on terror. Third, try to make people forget the slaughter. Looks like the plan is coming together.

Real astroturfers revealed

Here is more evidence of the truly fake protest movement, which is being orchestrated by union thugs and other lefties, to counter the true movement. It's the opposition to the government run health care that is the true grass roots campaign. That's been proven at every meeting, despite the lies from the media lapdogs and leftie celebrities.

Astroturfing run amok

Lefties tried to organize astroturf protests for a meeting in Washington and the meeting was cancelled over safety concerns.

Why? Because the meeting wasn’t even about health care. It was about the Mt. St. Helens volcano monument.

Hey, astroturfers! Get it together, people!

Latest name to add to the list

Lefties have come up with yet another attack name to hang on the protesters that they cannot intelligently debate.

David Letterman says that health care protesters are the Taliban.

I guess that’s why I don’t miss anything when I don’t watch him.

Mainstream media bias proven beyond a shadow of a doubt (again)

MSNBC makes one of the dumbest excuses in journalistic history to explain their story covering a black man carrying a rifle to an Obamacare rally and trumpeting how “white people are showing up with guns strapped to their waist or their legs.”

It smacks of the Dan Rather National Guard story. Combined with the media completely pushing the Obama/Hitler posters as a Republican thing and ignoring the Lyndon LaRouche connection, the media has once again shown they are nothing more than leftie shills.

There is no more doubt, no more conversation on the matter. Anyone who denies liberal media bias is either not paying attention, totally ignorant of current events, or simply lying.

There's more than one reason I don't live in Sweden

According to a survey, contracting sexual diseases makes men in Sweden feel more manly.

In other news from Sweden, a 62 year old man was convicted of 9 counts of child rape, two counts of rape, one count of sexual harassment, 7 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, and child sex abuse. The cases involved 8 girls ranging from age 11 to 16. The pedophile was sentenced to only 7 years in prison.

Wait, it gets worse.

An appeals court overturned two of the child rape charges, and the one sexual harassment charge, leaving all the rest, and cut his sentence to 5 years.

They also cut his victim compensation in half, to less than $38,000.

Hey, if you want to catch STD's, Sweden's the place to live. It's also a great place to be a pedophile. Less than one year in prison per child.

Maybe it's got something to do with Obama telling vacationers to stay away from Las Vegas, or maybe it's just because Reid's a goober

The is the best news to come out of Nevada in some time – Harry Reid is facing a serious challenge in his senate race.

I guess that Commander In Chief thing is harder than it looks

Evidently, Obama is not handling the situation in Afghanistan very well with respect to troop deployment.

Will the press sing "I Hate Myself For Loving You" or "I Will Survive"?

Chris Stirewalt writes an article in the Washington Examiner on the breakup of the love affair between the media and Obama.

This could get ugly.

I wonder if Chris Matthew's leg will stop tingling?

Someone check her meds

Maxine Waters is living in a fantasy world.

Ms. Waters says that Obama should stop being a nice guy trying to “reach across the aisle” to compromise with Republicans.

It’s so sad to see that a member of congress can’t even keep up with the news, and so out of touch with reality.

Oops, my bad, Social Security edition

Republicans said there would be no cost of living adjustment in social security checks next year, for the first time since the mid 70’s. They said it would not happen for the next two years. Protests were extremely loud as the networks led every night all week with the story, showing videos of older citizens who they described as people would would wind up eating dog food or dying because of the “draconian” cuts by the evil Republicans. The President was savaged on TV and in print by every journalist around, as well as every comedian, hollywood celebrity, and anyone else who could find a microphone.

Oops, my bad.

This announcement came under the Obama administration, with Democrats in control of both houses.

Funny how the silence is deafening.

If paying taxes is patriotic, then people who pay nothing but get money back are...?

The Wall St Journal on the high cost of liberalism.

If paying taxes is patriotic, as Joe Biden told us, then we are about to enter one of the most patriotic times in our history.

Isn't this sort of like some guy in a softball league saying Derek Jeter doesn't have the credentials to play?

Dave Zirin is the "sports editor" for The Nation Magazine, an extremist leftie publication funded by rich liberals, that coincidentally has never had a sports editor in 150 years but now has found one who will mention sports while he bashes conservatives.

During a discussion on college football, this little-known sports writer interjected a blast at Sarah Palin by claiming she never graduated college.

Here and here and here and here is proof that Sarah indeed has a degree. In fact, it's a Bachelor's in Journalism.

And yet I can find no evidence that Zirin has so much as an Associate's in Journalism, basket weaving, or anything else for that matter.

Jealous much, Dave? Sounds like a bonafide case of Palin Derangement Syndrome to me.

Death of a Kennedy

Ted Kennedy has lost his battle with brain cancer.

I recognize there are a lot of people who respected and admired him. In deference to them, and to Kennedy's family, I will not write anything else about him today. I will not gloat, or make jokes, or do any of the other crass things that a lot of lefties did when Reagan died. I think it shows a lack of class to do so.

I disagreed with almost all of his policies, but today is not a day to discuss that, or to bring up the past.

RIP Ted Kennedy.

This is not what they mean by colorblind

MSNBC highlights the black man who carried a rifle to an Obama speech last week as a racial thing, by saying white men carrying guns. They do alter the video just a bit in order to not show that the man is black, however.

The black man has been quoted as saying he was exercising his second amendment rights.

Now he’s a racist according to MSNBC, who also calls him white.

Gee, a rich liberal who wants laws changed at will to benefit him - what a shock

Democrats in Massachusetts passed a law preventing the governor from appointing a successor if a US senator leaves office. This was passed when John Kerry was running for president and might leave his Senate seat. The governor at the time was a Republican.

Now Ted “Chappaquiddick” Kennedy has written a letter to state lawmakers asking them to overturn that law, because he might not be able to continue serving. By the way, the current governor is a Democrat.

The ironic thing here is that NBC totally missed the connection. It was Kennedy who led the charge for the change originally.

They can't talk about us talking about this after we've talked about it, it only confuses the matter

The NY Times keeps talking about cutting back on treatments for end of life patients, and then criticizes Republicans for saying Democrats are talking about it.

An honest leftie - talk about your endangered species

The leader of Greenpeace admits his organization lies and distorts facts.

That’s probably the most truth we’ve ever gotten out of Greenpeace.

It's their favorite pasttime

Good piece by Caroline Baum on how lefties play the blame game.

I know it's not part of the Post Office, otherwise the cost of sending email would go up every six months

Jesse Jackson Jr says a public option for health care would keep the insurance companies honest, like the Post Office does for Fedex, UPS and DHL. He actually says because of the great job the post office/government does, that keeps UPS from charging $100 for an overnight letter.

I guess he has not heard of free enterprise, or the law of supply and demand, or capitalism, and how those things work to keep prices low, EXCEPT when government gets involved and throws things out of whack.

Of course, Jackson also says that email is part of the Post Office, so you have to take everything else the goober says with a huge grain of salt.

Maybe she could do a show on TV hosts that get suckered out of other people's money

Here is a story of people who took the disaster that befell them from Katrina and turned it into a money making machine.

First they conned the government into paying them assistance way longer than they deserved. My goodness, they are STILL receiving taxpayer money??

Then, they conned Oprah into giving them interest free loans on nice homes built by Habitat for Humanity in Houston – three years ago – after which they continued stealing from taxpayers like you and me.

Now, they’ve been arrested for bilking the government out of tens of thousands of dollars. This is fraud, waste and abuse.

I wonder if Oprah or Barack will have anything to say about this.

Oops, my bad, PR edition

I have not done one of these in awhile, so here goes.

A group of PR firms with close ties to several Republican politicians, including some who are very high on the food chain, have been found to be enjoying tremendous success financially by virtue of their political allies. The networks have sent their top reporters to uncover who is behind all of the money, and who exactly is benefitting.

Oops, my bad.

It’s President Obama and his top advisors who are tied to the PR firms, and the lapdogs are in hush hush mode.

Just in case you thought I did not read the comments

I had a comment from this post. The entire comment is posted below.

You are wrong. The "paid" event was always a meeting of the Lake Zurich Chamber of Commerce. It's a breakfast meeting, and they (not the Congresswoman) charge $25 admission. The money goes to the Chamber of Commerce, not to the Congresswoman.

Meanwhile, Rep. Donald Manzullo required people attending his "town hall" today to join a right-wing organization and make a payment. Where's your outrage over that?

Republicans are hypocrites. You have no integrity.

I posted it here because I wanted to reply out here, where everyone could see my response.

First, it actually was a paid event, so putting quotation marks around it does not lessen that fact.

Second, it was obvious from the reports in the link that it was a Chamber event. Michelle Malkin even provided screenshots of the announcement. Nobody tried to hide that fact. What was being highlighted was the fact that the announcement was promoted as a “Town Hall Breakfast” originally until word got out, then it was changed to a “Chamber Breakfast” with the congresswoman.

Third, I did not post about that alone, because of the fact that since it was the Chamber charging, and not Bean, I did not really think it was worth posting about. However, when the news then came out about her hastily called telephone town hall meeting, and all the trouble that people had trying to get to it, much less have their questions asked – well, THAT was post-worthy. And that was the main point of my post. I thought I had made that fairly obvious. So defending her by focusing solely on who actually charged for the breakfast meeting is a bit of misdirection.

So, I was not wrong. Apology accepted.

Next, you claim that Don Manzullo was requiring people to join a right wing organization and pay for attending the meeting. You ask where my “outrage” is concerning that. You finish by calling all Republicans hypocrites and you say I have no integrity.

I did a search for Manzullo, since I had not heard of any town hall meetings he has held, free or paid. Here is what I found.

Manzullo held two meetings on 8 August. There's no report of anyone being charged for them. Here is a letter to the editor about one of the meetings with no mention of a charge.

He held a meeting on 14 August, again with no mention of required payments.

He held a meeting on 19 August. Here is a report on it by HealthyRockford.com. Here is a newspaper report on it. Here it is being promoted by a local Aids organization. I don't think they are all Republican mouthpieces who would not mention a fee if there were one.

Now, he did speak at a business luncheon the same day as the town hall meeting on the 19th. I can find no mention of a fee, but it was always promoted as a business luncheon so even if there were a fee, it would not be out of bounds. Plus, there was a town hall meeting planned for later that same night, and it came fee-free.

In Friday's edition of the paper, this article appeared, with a sidebar note about yet another town hall meeting Manzullo is hosting tonight. It mentions free parking but still nothing about a required attendance fee.

Most of the articles mention that Manzullo's aides went through the crowd that could not fit in the auditorium, passing out his business cards that guaranteed them a seat at the next town hall meeting.

I'm sorry, but I can find nothing to indicate he charged for any town hall event. In fact, all the evidence only proves that he went out of his way to be accomodating and meet with everyone possible, in direct conflict with your claim.

As I said in my response to your comment – if you can provide proof that he charged for a town hall event, I’ll post it. Until then, I have no proof and can find no evidence to support your claim.

As to the Republicans are hypocrites remark…I am a Libertarian, so if you were aiming at me, you missed.

As to the lack of integrity comment, I think this post shows that to be an obvious lie and a personal attack (right out of Saul Alinsky’s playbook) made out of either ignorance or anger. This time, apology not accepted until you apologize in print.

You’re welcome for the information, Matt.

Why is there a near complete media blackout on these racial hate crimes

Have you heard about the racially tinged torture slayings that happened in California?

Of course you haven’t, because the murderers are black, and the victims were a white Marine and his black wife.

Of course you haven’t, because the black men spray-painted racial epithets on the wall, including “Nigger Lover.”

The victims were bound, gagged, tortured, raped, and shot in the head. Items were stolen from their home including his dress uniform, preventing his being buried in it.

Why would you hear about this? It’s not like it was a hate crime, or racially motivated, right?

Meanwhile, Michelle Malkin is keeping the heat turned up by being just about the only national media reporting on the trials for the black men accused of kidnapping, torturing, raping and killing of a young white couple in Tennessee.

Obviously not a hate crime. Right?

Maybe they only see protesters if they are dressed nicely

Where are the media people worried about protesting? This group of protesters have taken to staking out someone’s home and harassing them around the clock, and yet the media won’t address their actions, much less critique their clothing choices.

They’re too busy with the town hall Nazis – see here and here and here and here and here.

Did I misspeak by revealing that?

Did the White House misspeak when saying so many times that this person or that person misspoke?

Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas. Lie down with criminals, get up with politicians.

Doug Ross makes a most compelling case that involves Obama, Rezko, Valerie Jarrett, and poor people living in the slums owned by Rezko. He then asks the question, “And these failed, small-time bureaucrats want us to trust them to control 20% of the entire U.S. economy -- the whole American health care system?”

Bean in hot soup

It seems that congresswoman Melissa Bean took a beating for charging $25 admission to her town hall meeting, so they simply changed the name of the event.

Later, after having to change the name of the event, she decided to do a telephone town hall meeting. Of course, the details leaked out rather slowly, and people were not able to find out about it in time, others did not get called as they were supposed to in time, and yet others did get to listen in but were not able to ask any questions. They did not allow a lot of people to call in, saying only those who had asked prior to the announcement were on the list to be included.

In other words, they put up a ton of hurdles for everyone to have to jump over just to get to talk to their representative.

Typical leftie response.

You can read about all these details at Michelle Malkin's website.

Want to tweet to God?

Here’s your chance.

There you go

They have universal health care (otherwise known as government run health care) in the UK. Obama has used it as an example before to tout his Obamacare.

A woman in the UK was recently refused an ambulance when she went into labor and was forced to deliver her child on the sidewalk.

There you go.

Oh, and in government run health care news in Canada, they are considering cutting back on thousands of surgeries because they simply can’t afford the government run health care there.

There you go.

Politics of personal destruction, leftie style

Andrew Breitbart is spot on in his analysis of the politics of personal destruction as practiced daily by lefties.

I knew it was a Kucinich follower!

The creator of the Obama Joker poster has been revealed.

It is a 20 year old college student of Palestinian descent from Chicago who was a Dennis Kucinich supporter.

It turns out he did not put the caption “Socialism” on the bottom. In fact, he is quoted as saying that “doesn't make any sense to me at all, to accuse him of being a socialist is really ... immature. First of all, who said being a socialist is evil?"

So, for those of you who just knew it was the work of some evil conservative conspiracy…

HA!

She's going to run out of people to protest against

Cindy Sheehan plans on traveling to Martha’s Vineyard to protest Obama leaving troops scattered around the globe.

At least Goober Cindy is an equal opportunity moonbat.

Ask for reason and logic and you shall receive

The lefties claim they are open to reasoned, logical debates on health care.

Okay, here is a reasoned, logical refutation of Obama’s op-ed piece in the NY Times.

Let’s see what happens now. Will the doctor, if anyone on the left actually responds, be villified, personally attacked, and dragged through the slime, while being accused of being a Republican shill, nazi, terrorist, mobster, et al?

Only time will tell.

Compared to Perky Katie, she's a intellectual giant

How can you not watch Michelle Malkin and simply be blown away with respect and admiration for this lady?

On what does she blame the lefties who pay thugs to be bussed in and attack normal people?

Media lapdog Katie Couric blames “fear” and “ignorance” for the town hall protests by normal Americans who are simply concerned for their liberties.

Who's a good widdle lappie dog? You are, perky Katie, yes you are.

It's an ever-growing list

Gateway Pundit has been assembling some of the stories on union thugs attacking normal Americans concerned for their liberties.

I am Kenneth Gladney

Andrew Breitbart writes a chilling take on the media lapdogs who hear Their Master’s Voice.

If these were Republicans, it'd be the lead story on every network for a week and Olbermann would be having a duck

Remember the pseudo-doctor Roxana Mayer who lied to the nation at Sheila Jackson Lee’s town hall meeting? She claimed to be a doctor who has been practicing for four years and accepted accolades and applause from the crowd, and yet it turned out that when real journalists (you know, non-lapdogs) actually looked into her story, she is not a doctor, nor has she ever been one. She turned out to be a planted organizer/Obama delegate.

Now it turns out that the liar Mayer was invited to the town hall meeting by the Che Guevara loving Obama organizer, Maria Isabel. Lo and behold, Isabel is shown sitting right next to Mayer at the meeting, right in the front row.

How do you think they got such good seats?

Man! The recession is hitting everybody!

I received an email yesterday that I had to share with you. We are all familiar with the Nigerian bank email that has made the rounds for over ten years. This is an offshoot of it, but see if you can see any differences. I copied and pasted the email without any alterations. It is printed below.

In support of Congressman Massa

Much is being made of congressman Eric Massa (D-NY) who says he will vote against the desires of his constituents. But that is the form of government that we have, and it’s designed to be that way.

I can not blame a man for voting his conscience, regardless of how his district wants him to vote. He may be wrong, and the result may be dangerous for America. However, he is doing what he truly believes to be best, then he is doing the right thing.

Then, in the next election, the constituents should ensure they elect someone whose beliefs are closer to their own. That’s how the representative democracy works.

In fact, I wish more politicians were like this man. At least he is honest enough to admit he will vote his conscience, knowing it may well doom his next election chances. Too many politicians will lie and say whatever the particular group they are in front of wants to hear.

I listened to Glenn Beck on the radio yesterday, and his guest host, Joe Pagliarulo, was incensed about Massa, and he did a pretty good spiel about how that is not the job description of a representative.

I stand by my point that you simply cannot take a popular vote for every single thing that comes up in government. If you were going to do that, why vote for representatives in the first place? Why not just hold a vote on every single issue?

Here’s another point. Let’s say you are pro choice, otherwise known more correctly as pro abortion. You get elected to represent a group of constituents. The majority of those constituents are pro life. Are you going to put aside your personal principles and vote against abortion because more people in your district are pro life?

As I said, I respect Massa for standing up for his principles. He’s dead wrong on this issue, and I would vote against him if I lived in his district, but not because of his refusal to stand up for his beliefs.

Who can be responsible for the orchestrated violence at town hall meetings? HCAN!

Rosita the Prole on HCAN and who is behind this latest group. She posts pages from their website that urges members to gather at town hall meetings and prevent free speech. It also makes the ridiculous claim that it’s conservatives attacking people.

This is a typical tactic of the left. They cannot win debates with logic and reason, so they attack, they make it personal, and they project by taking their own tactics and accusing their opponents of doing what they themselves are in fact doing. It’s worked for them for years, mainly because the media lapdogs will lap up anything they say and repeat it like good leftie mouthpieces.

The violence from the left continues and the media is blind

More violence at a town hall meeting. Again, it’s lefties who attack a normal American who is simply concerned with the loss of his liberties.

Why is Youtube becoming the only way to view these videos? Why are the networks not on this story? Why do the media lapdogs content to curl their tingle-laden legs under their glassy-staring eyes and bask in the radiance of their master?

As the man who was attacked by an Obama supporter (according to reports, a black female) is leaving, you can hear other leftie thugs taunt him by laughing and asking if he has health insurance.

Classy all the way.

Cash for Codgers

The Cash for Clunkers worked so well the government decided to do another program.

Welcome to Cash for Codgers.

Tip of the hat to Papa Mike for that one.

100 years ago, they would have told you that doctors would never kill an unborn child, too

A chilling tale of death panels.

Of course it’s fiction and could never come true.

Right?

Why do average Americans need to educate "journalists" about current events?

Turns out Lawrence O’Donnell isn’t as smart or up on current events as he might think.

He repeatedly scolded an average American on national TV because she said Obama said he was in favor of a single payer system. O’Donnell said multiple times that never happened.

Of course, anyone with an IQ over 50 knows Obama actually did say it. More than once, in fact.

Who’s a good media lapdog? You are, Larry. Yes, you are.

At least she stayed off the phone during the interview

I’ve never been a huge fan of Rick Sanchez of CNN. But, I have to give him his due for interviewing Sheila Jackson Lee and taking her to task over the town hall incident of talking on the cell phone while a constituent is asking her a question.

Lee tries to make up some bizarre story about the video being doctored, and Sanchez presses her on it to explain herself.

Finally, Lee gives up and refuses to comment on the video by saying she has never seen it.

Understand? She can’t comment on her own actions at an event that she was present for, because she has not seen the video.

What a colossal waste of oxygen.

It was certainly not the happiest place on Earth

Congressman Alan Grayson from central FL announced he was hosting a town hall event. Funny, the announcement did not mention the fact that it immediately followed a Democratic party meeting, allowing the lefties to pack the hall with their followers.

The meeting was held in a union hall on top of everything else. Watch the video of the Vietnam veteran who is disgusted with the way the matter was handled.

Here’s how the Orlando Sentinel reported on the farce.

Do you think it was mere coincidence that this meeting was scheduled at the exact same place and immediately following a meeting of lefties?

According to first hand accounts, only about 30 people were allowed in, after the lefties packed their people in. They were also checking ID’s to ensure attendees actually lived in the district (also after the lefties had taken up over 90 seats). However, six people who were denied access because of that were escorted in by a campaign worker who referred to them as family. It’s a good first hand report, and sounds to be objective.
