Now he has decided to become a comedian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least that is the only explanation I can come up with for his &lt;a href="http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/09/20/5143877-carter-probably-superior-to-other-ex-presidents?GT1=43001"&gt;latest statements&lt;/a&gt;, wherein he declared his post-presidency to be "&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;superior to that of other presidents&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope he doesn't hurt his arm while patting himself on the back.  Of course, that's the only pat on the back he'll get, as he is almost universally recognized as having been one of the worst presidents in history, and his time since has been one wacko-filled statement after another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More humor from the stand up guy from Plains - ""&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Carter Center has decided, under my leadership, to fill the vacuums in the world. When the United States won't deal with troubled areas, we go there and we meet their leaders who can bring an end to a conflict, or an end to human rights abuse, and so forth. So I feel that [I] have an advantage over many other former presidents in being involved in daily affairs that have shaped the policies of our nation and the world&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got that?  The Carter Center, &lt;em&gt;under his leadership&lt;/em&gt;, decides when the entire rest of the country is wrong in foreign affairs, and they swoop in like Superman (or maybe &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underdog_(TV_series)"&gt;Underdog&lt;/a&gt;...or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Chicken"&gt;Super Chicken&lt;/a&gt;) to end human rights abuses and make the world a safer place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gosh, that's almost as good as Obama claiming that his ascendency to the throne...errr, presidency...would &lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=d912vd200&amp;amp;show_article=1"&gt;cause flooding waters to subside and the world to begin healing itself&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-5623194814585900637?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/5623194814585900637/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=5623194814585900637' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5623194814585900637'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5623194814585900637'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/three-ex-presidents-walk-into-bar.html' title='Three ex Presidents walk into a bar'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-254843358130762001</id><published>2010-09-20T08:22:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-20T08:25:01.126-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Peggy Noonan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Glenn Beck'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tea party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='difference between democrats and republicans'/><title type='text'>I'd like to see that yardstick used on some politicians</title><content type='html'>Good &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703440604575496221482123504.html"&gt;article by Peggy Noonan&lt;/a&gt; on the Tea Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Noonan uses a device commonly employed by Glenn Beck.  Where Beck uses a number line, Noonan refers to it as a yardstick.  It works just as well either way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start with a 36 inch yardstick.  0 is the liberal end and 36 is the conservative end.  That keeps liberal on the left and conservative on the right.  What gets the Tea Partiers going is that while Republicans might be to the right of liberals, but they have both been on the left side of the ruler for some time.  When liberals start at 0, Republicans start at 12, and the compromising always ends up between the two, still well on the liberal side of the equation.  This analogy explains spending went up even with Bush in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People have seen the light.  It’s time for spending cuts, not debating on the size of the spending increase.  After all, arguing over too much of a bad thing and just a little of a bad thing still means you wind up with a bad thing no matter what.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

This train of thought, if it can be described as such, is becoming the mantra of the progressives in an ever-increasing cycle of narcissism. The more they lose, the stronger their insistence that their opponents are just idiots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won’t bore you with the entire article, and I would not recommend it if you are driving or doing any activity where you should not be sleeping. However, I want to point out one particular section.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“This is why Obama seems less and less able to speak to and for our times. He’s the voice of reason incarnate, and maybe he’s too sane to be heard in either Jalalabad or Georgia.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhhh…that’s why Obama no longer instills awe with the dumb masses. He’s too sane (read: we are too insane). He’s just &lt;em&gt;too smart&lt;/em&gt; for us hillbilly types who can’t grasp complete governmental control of our lives and our money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question does occur to me, however, that if those who oppose Obama are simply too stupid to understand things, who exactly is Packer addressing in this article? He can’t be trying to convince lefties – that would consist of preaching to the choir, to coin a phrase preferred by us hillbilly nonsensical stupid types. He surely can’t be trying to convince us that we are stupid, because his described depth of our stupidity would prevent us from comprehending what he is saying.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-5282967457368891041?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/5282967457368891041/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=5282967457368891041' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5282967457368891041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5282967457368891041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/if-i-were-smarter-i-would-call-that.html' title='If I were smarter, I would call that a conundrum.'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-575953753644652758</id><published>2010-09-16T12:40:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T12:43:30.005-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Union City'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='slumlord'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='New Jersey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ground zero mosque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Feisel Abdul Rauf'/><title type='text'>I would guess it's okay as long as the tenants are filthy non believers</title><content type='html'>Wonder what the Koran says about being a &lt;a href="http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/09/union_city_sues_landlord_of_ap.html"&gt;slumlord&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-575953753644652758?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/575953753644652758/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=575953753644652758' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/575953753644652758'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/575953753644652758'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-would-guess-its-okay-as-long-as.html' title='I would guess it&apos;s okay as long as the tenants are filthy non believers'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-6003103463816675319</id><published>2010-09-16T12:35:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T12:40:13.112-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Minnesota'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='newspeak'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Keith Ellison'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ground zero mosque'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religious bigot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='9/11'/><title type='text'>And trashing on the feelings of those affected by 9/11 is being sensitive</title><content type='html'>A &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/117387-muslim-lawmaker-mosque-opponents-are-birthers-proponents-of-bigotry"&gt;Democrat congressman from MN claims&lt;/a&gt; that if you are opposed to the Ground Zero Victory Mosque, you are a religious bigot, “&lt;em&gt;nothing more, nothing less&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also denies that the families of those who died on 9/11 are involved.

Eventually, he ends up in the hospital having to relearn to walk."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“And here is Loomis's capsule summary of "The Summer of Recovery," the finale of the first full season of "Obama," a midseason replacement that premiered to hype and high ratings but is now struggling and may face cancellation: "Barack uses his trillion dollar stimulus to create the best summer ever--the 'Recovery Summer'--but wastes hundreds of billions on things like studies on how cocaine affects monkeys, investigating the link between yoga and hot flashes, bus-stop art, international ant research, and an upgrade to the statehouse and political offices in Topeka, Kan.

Barack Obama has a deep-seated hatred of wealth inequality.  He feels it is wrong for one person to have significantly more than another.  That's why he preached the idea of income redistribution to Joe the Plumber.  That's why he said that capital gains taxes had to be increased, even though it would mean less revenue, because of "fairness."  That's why he said that at some point we have to recognize that some people have "just made enough money."  To Obama it doesn't matter what effect tax cuts would have on the economy or on the jobs picture.  Those people just shouldn't have that much money, period.  The government will simply take the money and then the government can spend it for job creation and everything will be OK&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is all exactly correct. However, I would add one small caveat to his statements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Barack Obama has a deep-seated hatred of wealth inequality"&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;strong&gt;unless that inequality belongs to either himself or one of his crony friends&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;He feels it is wrong for one person to have significantly more than another"&lt;/em&gt;...&lt;strong&gt;unless that person is himself or one of his crony friends&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"That's why he said that at some point we have to recognize that some people have "just made enough money&lt;/em&gt;"...&lt;strong&gt;unless that person is himself or one of his crony friends&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-55722092493501486?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/55722092493501486/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=55722092493501486' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/55722092493501486'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/55722092493501486'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/boortz-nails-it.html' title='Boortz nails it'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-8640999868379111579</id><published>2010-09-13T08:32:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-13T08:38:26.873-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Meghan McCain'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stealing Romney signs'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paris Hilton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Kim Kardashian'/><title type='text'>Not to mention she got their intelligence when it comes to making private things public</title><content type='html'>John McCain’s daughter (who has achieved her fame in the same manner as Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian) has &lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/politics/politicalintelligence/2010/08/meghan_mccain_a.html"&gt;written a book about politics and sex where she reveals she is a common criminal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She admits to stealing Romney signs during the primary campaign.

Mainstream media outlets made this the top news story of the day, with spokespeople from the White House, major administration departments, and congressional leaders from both houses expressing outrage and disbelief that a major political figure could utter such a racist remark. Outraged calls for immediate retraction and apologies flooded the offices of Giuliani. Pundits from all major news outlets were unanimous in condemning the comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oops, my bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was actually former mayor David Dinkins who &lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/dinkins_encouraged_voters_more_embrace_ZMke2jxV71gcCXH1rzEWYM"&gt;uttered the words&lt;/a&gt;, in support of a white man's opponent for the state senate seat.

So close, in fact, that part of the plane they used in the attack hit the building they are replacing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millions of Americans are outraged, as it is a Muslim tradition to build a "victory mosque" on the site of your greatest conquests. Obama and other progressives come to the defense of Muslims, saying it's their "right" to build wherever they want while completely ignoring the fact it's a slap in the face of Americans everywhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A small church in central Florida announces they will burn korans on the anniversary of the worst attack on American soil (you know, the one by Islamic terrorists).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama and his buddy progressives attack the church and pastor, calling them all sorts of names and demanding they stop their plans. Additional opposition comes from the Vatican, several other countries and leaders, and lots of other sources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims call for attacks on Americans, shouting death threats while burning US flags...all before the church strikes their first match. The same media who have said they will not show the church burning korans gleefully report on flag burning by Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now for the calls from the Vatican, other countries, and even the Democrats for Muslims to stop burning flags...(insert crickets chirping here).  I read an interesting comment on a forum yesterday that stated how strange it is that a small church in Florida can be more important to the world than all of the Muslims combined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The pastor &lt;a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20100910/D9I515880.html"&gt;backs down&lt;/a&gt;, saying they have shown the Muslims in their true form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, the rhetoric from Islamic radicals &lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6891AM20100910"&gt;does not subside&lt;/a&gt;.

Even subtracting those who deliberately want the country ruined, and you still have a good chunk of people who are blind to the last 19 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the good news is that 58% of the country disapproves of BHO's actions, with &lt;strong&gt;47% strongly disapproving&lt;/strong&gt;.

Hey, if your record (when you finally have one) does not work, just go back into &lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/08/obama-going-personal-bid-sell-economic-plan-lift-political-spirits-party/"&gt;campaign mode&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's some hope and change for you - &lt;a href="http://cnsnews.com/news/article/72404"&gt;Obama has added more to the national debt than Washington through Reagan...combined&lt;/a&gt;. That's right. Add up every dime of debt from the administrations of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, Johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan. This covers 50 terms, 200 years, the Great Depression, two World Wars, a Civil War, many other wars and police actions, several recessions, and untold other things. Add up all that debt, and &lt;strong&gt;you STILL come up with less than Obama has saddled on your children's backs...in just 19 months&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course Obama had the help of his willing accomplices, notably San Fran Nan and Harry "&lt;a href="http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/reid-has-bart-simpson-moment.html"&gt;I had nothing to do with the bad economy&lt;/a&gt;" Reid, along with all other leftist progressives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, Obama wants us to vote for progressives disguised as Democrats in November because we should be "&lt;em&gt;willing again to choose hope over fear, to choose the future over the past, to come together once more around the great project of national renewal, then we will restore our economy, rebuild our middle class and reclaim the American dream for the next generation&lt;/em&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He thinks that the American public is stupid enough to just ignore the last 19 months and go back to blindly drinking the hope-n-change koolade again. He thinks that by just repeating what he said while running for president as an almost-complete unknown, that voters will ignore what they've seen with their own eyes for the last year and a half.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God, I hope he's wrong.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-5043635533255130511?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/5043635533255130511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=5043635533255130511' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5043635533255130511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5043635533255130511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2010/09/keep-your-hope-and-change.html' title='Keep your hope and change'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-1795077612558316234</id><published>2010-09-08T07:30:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T07:39:32.065-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='they talk about me like a dog'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jimi Hendrix'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='plagarize'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Malkin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sir Mix-a-lot'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='barack hussein obama'/><title type='text'>Maybe he was auditioning for Don't Forget The Lyrics</title><content type='html'>Many of us thought “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;they talk about me like a dog&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” was a strange line, and now we find out it is a &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2010/09/07/the-barack-obama-experience-taxes-bold-as-love/"&gt;direct quote from a Jimi Hendrix song&lt;/a&gt;.

We need to accept that Reid sat by while the other senators passed spending bills amounting to trillions that we don’t have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that case, isn’t Reid admitting that he has not done his job?

Are you scared of big labor?  You should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may want to read what &lt;a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2010/09/03/big-labors-legacy-of-violence/"&gt;Michelle Malkin has to say about this punk&lt;/a&gt;.  Anyone who thinks Obama is not aware of his past is either an idiot or a liar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some quotes from the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;em&gt;Trumka warmed up his rhetorical muscles this past week with full-frontal attacks on former GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. He indignantly accused her of “getting close to calling for violence” and suggested that her criticism of Tea Party-bashing labor bosses amounted to “terrorizing” workers.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the same Trumka who Malkin writes about later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Meet Eddie York. He was a workingman whose story will never scroll across Obama’s teleprompter. A nonunion contractor who operated heavy equipment, York was &lt;strong&gt;shot to death&lt;/strong&gt; during a strike called by the United Mine Workers 17 years ago. Workmates who tried to come to his rescue were &lt;strong&gt;beaten&lt;/strong&gt; in an ensuing melee. The head of the UMW spearheading the wave of strikes at that time? Richard Trumka. Responding to concerns about violence, he shrugged to the Virginian-Pilot in September 1993: “&lt;strong&gt;I’m saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt; Incendiary rhetoric, anyone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A federal jury convicted one of Trumka’s UMW captains on conspiracy and weapons charges in York’s death. According to the Washington, D.C.-based National Legal and Policy Center, which tracks Big Labor abuse, Trumka’s legal team quickly settled a $27 million wrongful death suit filed by York’s widow just days after a judge admitted evidence in the criminal trial. An investigative report by Reader’s Digest disclosed that &lt;strong&gt;Trumka “did not publicly discipline or reprimand a single striker present when York was killed. In fact, all eight were helped out financially by the local.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In Illinois, &lt;strong&gt;Trumka told UMW members to “kick the s**t out of every last” worker who crossed his picket lines&lt;/strong&gt;, according to the Nashville (Ill.)

Looks like the plan is coming together.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-5064001078773770946?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/5064001078773770946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=5064001078773770946' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5064001078773770946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/5064001078773770946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2009/08/remember-words-of-rahm-emanuel-who-said.html' title='Remember the words of Rahm Emanuel who said, &quot;why waste a good crisis&quot;'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-6933554652698214175</id><published>2009-08-27T08:24:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T08:28:36.410-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='health care protestors'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='astroturf'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='government run health care'/><title type='text'>Real astroturfers revealed</title><content type='html'>Here is &lt;a href="http://ow.ly/l34l"&gt;more evidence&lt;/a&gt; of the truly fake protest movement, which is being orchestrated by union thugs and other lefties, to counter the true movement.

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. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During a discussion on college football, this little-known sports writer interjected a blast at Sarah Palin by &lt;a href="http://www.mrc.org/biasalert/2009/20090818064346.aspx"&gt;claiming she never graduated

It was &lt;a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204884404574362541012511408.html"&gt;Kennedy who led the charge for the change originally&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-7154396641251253964?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/7154396641251253964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=7154396641251253964' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/7154396641251253964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/7154396641251253964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2009/08/gee-rich-liberal-who-wants-laws-changed.html' title='Gee, a rich liberal who wants laws changed at will to benefit him -

The entire comment is posted below.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans are hypocrites. You have no integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I posted it here because I wanted to reply out here, where everyone could see my response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, it actually was a paid event, so putting quotation marks around it does not lessen that fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Town Hall Breakfast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” originally until word got out, then it was changed to a “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chamber Breakfast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” with the congresswoman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I was not wrong. &lt;strong&gt;Apology accepted&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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 “&lt;em&gt;outrage&lt;/em&gt;” is concerning that. You finish by calling all Republicans hypocrites and you say I have no integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Manzullo held &lt;a href="http://manzullo.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=139988"&gt;two meetings on 8 August&lt;/a&gt;. There's no report of anyone being charged for them. Here is a &lt;a href="http://www.rrstar.com/opinions/letters/x2145967317/Get-rid-of-government"&gt;letter to the editor&lt;/a&gt; about one of the meetings with no mention of a charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He held a meeting on &lt;a href="http://manzullo.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=140815"&gt;14 August&lt;/a&gt;, again with no mention of required payments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He held a meeting on &lt;a href="http://manzullo.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=141449"&gt;19 August&lt;/a&gt;. Here is a report on it by &lt;a href="http://www.healthyrockford.com/health/multimedia/x2145965939/Manzullo-I-ll-vote-against-reform-plan"&gt;HealthyRockford.com&lt;/a&gt;. Here is a &lt;a href="http://www.rrstar.com/news/columnists/x1528806968/Rockford-town-hall-meeting-was-model-of-civic-decorum"&gt;newspaper report&lt;/a&gt; on it. Here it is being promoted by a &lt;a href="http://www.aidsconnect.net/?q=content/calendarevent/town-hall-meeting-rep-don-manzullo"&gt;local Aids organization&lt;/a&gt;. I don't think they are all Republican mouthpieces who would not mention a fee if there were one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, he did speak at a &lt;a href="http://www.rrstar.com/news/columnists/x772309102/Manzullo-Health-bill-is-a-stealth-single-payer-plan"&gt;business luncheon&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Friday's edition of the paper, &lt;a href="http://www.healthyrockford.com/health/news/x1886174328/Third-town-hall-meeting-on-health-care-available-Monday"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; 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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As to the Republicans are hypocrites remark…I am a Libertarian, so if you were aiming at me, you missed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;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.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You’re welcome for the information, Matt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/16208801-6937667824940884519?l=southernramblings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/feeds/6937667824940884519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=16208801&amp;postID=6937667824940884519' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/6937667824940884519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/16208801/posts/default/6937667824940884519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://southernramblings.blogspot.com/2009/08/just-in-case-you-thought-i-did-not-read.html' title='Just in case you thought I did not read the comments'/><author><name>ramblingman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13204221662641305072</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16208801.post-1640736806523925816</id><published>2009-08-21T09:59:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-08-21T10:04:36.129-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hate crime'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='murder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='California'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='torture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Tennessee'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nigger lover'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michelle Malkin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Marines'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='racist'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='kidnapping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mainstream media bias'/><title type='text'>Why is there a near complete media blackout on these racial hate crimes</title><content type='html'>Have you heard about the &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/us_world/2009/04/03/2009-04-03_grim_twist_in_tortureslay_of_marine_sgt_.html"&gt;racially tinged torture slayings&lt;/a&gt; that happened in California?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course you haven’t, because the murderers are black, and the victims were a white Marine and his black wife.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course you haven’t, because the black men spray-painted racial epithets on the wall, including “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nigger Lover&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The victims were bound, gagged, tortured, raped, and shot in the head.
