This might be the best political ad, ever

Conservative and former-military officer Allen West utterly destroys his opponent, Patrick Murphy, with this simple ad showing what both were doing back at the same time in 2003...


Well what do you know, an Irish dude getting drunk and starting a fight in a bar.....that's original, heh heh.

Iranian news agency punks self

The list of people, official people who should know better, who have been fooled by "news" stories in the Onion is long and distinguished, but what makes this even more hilarious, is it happened to the official government newspaper in Iran.....

Heh heh, to rural, white Americans, Obama's popularity lies somewhere between Ahmadinejad and a can of corn. We'd vote for a can of corn before voting for Obama, but even Obama is less obnoxious, imbecilic, and awful than Achmadinnerjacket.

Still, it's funny to see our enemies get fooled by mildly sophisticated humor like satire, a concept they don't seem to grasp.

Geek porn.....porn for geeks

This is the flight deck of the Space Shuttle Endeavor all powered up right before its last flight.

How cool is that?

I doesn't really look that hard to fly....I mean they sent a monkey into space first and he came back fine. How hard could it be? Still, I would have thought there'd be more switches, knobs, and dials.

Hillary grovels before the Muslim hordes who would slit her throat given a chance

Here is bedraggled-looking secretary of state Hillary Clinton spending $70,000 on Pakistani TV to obsequiously grovel before the sworn enemies of America....

 

I don't recall being witness to anything so utterly embarrassing, humiliating, and contemptible.

Neville Chamberlain and Vidkun Quisling were less treacherous, as their respective countries actually faced existential threats. We appease the savage Muslim hordes solely on the basis of political correctness.

Mitt Romney struggles to understand airplanes

Mitt Romney can't be this dumb, can he? Here is what he said to reporters when asked about his wife Ann being stuck in a smokey airplane cabin waiting for the emergency landing....

'When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no - and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. It was 'very dangerous' that the windows didn't open. 'I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous.'

Heh heh.....I'm voting for Mitt, but he's a moron. This is worse to me than Dan Quayle spelling "potato" with an "e", or George Bush 41 being marveling that bar-code scanners actually existed and wondering how they worked.

How do you have such a gap in common knowledge that you don't understand air pressure, the thinness of the atmosphere at altitude, and the concept of pressurized cabins? Geez Louise, that's embarrassing! Does he wonder the same thing about why there are no screen doors on a submarine?

Misplaced modifiers can sometimes be funny

Read this sentence from a crime report I found in the Newport, RI fish-wrapper.......

April Dawn Peters, 31, of 2194 Grandview Way, in Cosby, as arrested Sept. 19, at 10:30 p.m.,

and charged with aggravated assault after she allegedly hit a man on his head at least five 

times with a hammer that she was having sex with.

Her misplaced dependent clause does suggest a funny visual in my head, but I have to wonder, 
how does somebody whose writing skills are that atrocious ever graduate from journalism school? And how is this person still employed?

Obama's job performance by the numbers

In case you were delusional enough to fall for the Hope and Change snake oil yet again, how about taking a look at the actual numbers of important indicators of the health of the economy, now compared to Obama's inauguration day. Read it and weep.....

How can any rational person consider allowing our treacherous media re-install Obama into the white house again after the damage he's done? That he's got over 25% of the vote is astonishing.

Of that 25%, 13% is the vote of every black person in America placing race loyalty above their personal economic welfare. The remaining 12% are people who benefit personally in an Obama economy....government workers, union thugs, illegal aliens, and green-energy CEO's.

Hat tip to Moonbattery for the graphic.

100 days until biggest tax increase in US history

Over at Americans for Tax Reform, they've compiled a comprehensive list of all the major tax increases with which Americans will be burdened by Obama starting 1JAN2013.....

First Wave: Expiration of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief

Personal income tax rates will rise on January 1, 2013 as follows:

-The 10% bracket rises to a new and expanded 15%

-The 25% bracket rises to 28%

-The 28% bracket rises to 31%

-The 33% bracket rises to 36%

-The 35% bracket rises to 39.6%

Higher taxes on marriage and family coming on January 1, 2013. 

Middle Class Death Tax returns on January 1, 2013. 

Higher tax rates on savers and investors on January 1, 2013. .

Second Wave: 20 new Obamacare Tax Hikes including:

--The Obamacare Medical Device Tax begins to be assessed on January 1, 2013. .

--The Obamacare Medicare Payroll Tax Hike takes effect on January 1, 2013. 

--The Obamacare “Special Needs Kids Tax” comes online on January 1, 2013.  

--The Obamacare “Haircut” for Medical Itemized Deductions goes into force on January 1, 2013. 

Third Wave: The Alternative Minimum Tax and Employer Tax Hikes which include:

--Full business expensing will disappear

--Taxes will be raised on all types of businesses. 

--Tax Benefits for Education and Teaching Reduced. 

--Charitable Contributions from IRAs no longer allowed.  

These represent collectively, a very large nail in the coffin in which the American economy may eventually be buried once and for all. All this torment, economic pain, and financial burden and still there are Americans stupid enough to vote for Obama. 

Friday challenge

Looking at this picture and all the bad things it represents about modern American culture, if you could swallow the bile bubbling up in your throat, distill your initial reaction down to one phrase......


                                   

Mine would be...."State enforced sterilization".

Pat Condell has had enough

Regular reader Barry turned me on to this excellent assessment by Pat Condell, of the current Islamic tantrums....

   

Pat is spot on. I liked when he said "they take time out from beating their wives to burn down their own cities".....heh heh. Pretty much sums up Islam in a nutshell doesn't it?

Tim Kaine commits liberal heresy

Here's Tim Kaine in a Senate debate moderated by David Gregory, actually getting behind an idea that democrats find abhorrent....the idea that every adult citizen with a job should have some skin in the game by paying a minimum federal income tax. Watch with me and be amazed that a democrat admitted to this......




You watch, Kaine will walk that statement back once the party henchmen give him his re-education talk.

Of course all Americans should have some stake in what the federal government does. That almost half(47% according to Romney) pay no federal income tax is ridiculous. When you have a stake in how your own money is spent, you tend to pay attention and care, but when all you do is collect a check from your long-held position on the couch, why should you care about who runs the country as long as it's the people who'll keep your sack of other peoples' money coming?

Let the Muslims riot

Here it is if you haven't seen it. The cartoon of Mohammad that got published in a French satire rag. The publication of this one image caused the French government to close 20 of its embassies around the world out of utter cowardice.

"But Ed" you whine, "this is highly insulting to Islam. You are contributing to the conflagration by publishing this on your blog."

Don't you people get it? These images must, MUST be published because to not publish them is tacit acknowledgement that the insanity that is the Muslims' reaction is somehow reasonable in a civilized society.

French satirists thumb noses at Islam

Apparently France was tired of not being in the international spotlight shone by the oft and laughably outraged Muslim hordes. One of their political satirists ran this cartoon of the prophet Mohammad saying, "100 lashes of you don't die of laughter".

The Paris headquarters of this magazine was bombed a month ago so they decided to defiantly run the cartoon again to show that they weren't intimidated. Good for them. I didn't know anybody in France had the balls to thumb their noses at radical Islam.

As a reaction to the publication of the Mohammad cartoon, France has shuttered something like 20 embassies and foreign schools in Muslim-dominated countries. Probably a good idea. It's about time the US had an ally in our stand against radical Islam and the perpetually outraged cultists who believe in it.

Muslim burns US flag, dies from fumes, I point and laugh

It is being reported that a crazed Muslim protester accidentally inhaled the fumes from the American flag he was burning, and died from asphyxiation when his lungs went into vapor-lock.  

Hahahahahaha! Now that's comedy.

Romney tells the truth >> liberals get the vapors

Here's Mitt Romney back in May speaking at a fund raiser in Boca Raton I think. From his answer it sounds like he was responding to a question about how he would convince a majority of voters to vote for him. Enjoy with me, a politician being honest for a change.....

 

The democrats and media (indistinguishable from one another) are beside themselves over the phrase "I don't need to worry about those people". They are saying that Romney was referring to black people, but clearly he was referring to people who voted for Obama in 2008 and/or don't pay income taxes, regardless of their race.

The only thing he could have clarified was to specify that 47% of Americans pay no FEDERAL income taxes, they still pay state and local income taxes if they have a job at all.

We conservatives have been harping on this point for decades so it's satisfying to finally hear a politician say it out loud and on the record. 47% percent of the population can vote themselves money from the public coffers and they will continue to vote for whichever politician promises to keep them on that gravy train. That's all he was saying and he was spot on.

Breaking News: moderate Muslims protest middle-east violence

The US, which has found itself the target of violence and mayhem at the hands of mindless Muslim rabble in no fewer than 20 Arab/Muslim nations from Tunisia to Malaysia, will surely welcome this heartening news.....

From the AP: Moderate Muslims(pictured above) who have assimilated into many western nations have taken to the streets in peaceful protest to support the US and rally against the violence and chaos that have plagued countries through out the middle east. 

I, for one, and happy that moderate Muslims have finally gotten off their hands and decided to choose sides in the ideological war between modernism and good versus primitive barbarism and evil. Just look at all those moderate Muslims supporting the US.......there's a tear in my eye. (sniff sniff)

Obamacare propaganda to be in current TV shows

California has already set up its health-care exchange per Obamacare. These exchanges are basically government portals that facilitate the purchase of cheap health care by people or businesses. In practice, they will funnel people out of private insurance and onto Medicare rolls.....Obama's grand design for single-payer coverage for everybody except the elite, ruling classes.

California knows that the ongoing health care battle will be fought in the public square. So to sway public opinion, they have twisted the arms of certain TV-show producers to include support for Obamacare--if not openly by name, then certainly by description--in their story lines. All medical shows will be asked to participate as well as other popular shows in which actors who are openly supportive of Obama in general appear Gray's Anatomy and Modern Family are two of the shows that have been targeted for participation.

If there is a sure-fire way to get me to stop watching a TV show, it's to try to sell me some political ideology, right or left, I don't want to mix it in with my mindless entertainment.

Muslims have no apparent sense of irony

Sorry for the language, but this is funny.

Don't you just love Islamic Rage Boy? I can't get enough of this guy. Every time he makes an appearance at the latest Muslim riot, I smile.

UK journalists doing American journalists' job for them

So it's being reported by British journalists that the US State Department had as much as 48 hours notice that something bad was afoot in Libya....something bad enough that had the State Department taken action, the diplomatic personnel would have gone on high alert....thereby saving their lives.

Why Obama and Hillary Clinton chose not to take any action regarding this 9/11 intelligence is a mystery unless you accept that this administration cares less about the lives of its citizens than it does about insulting Muslims.

What a treacherous media we have that instead of investigating this scandalous outrage, they are obsessed with Mitt Romney's "tone" regarding his statement criticizing Obama for the handling of the Libyan and Egyptian messes.

With 50 or so day until the election, expect the media to say nothing negative or even ask Obama difficult questions. In fact, expect them to begin predicting Obama's win as a foregone conclusion.

Amtrak train victimizes idiot brothers

How's this for ironic hilarity?

A dumb Oregon teenager and his friends were playing chicken with an Amtrak train and he got hit and killed. Of course his family decided to memorialize him with a track-side cross display, because nothing demonstrates loss like a cheap cross and plastic flowers at the site of a person's death where nobody will see it.

During the memorial service, three teens, including the victim's brother, found themselves on the opposite side of the tracks as another Amtrak train arrived, so they jumped across just as the train passed. As you might have guessed already, the brother got hit and killed too.

I'm guessing these two kids would have managed to kill themselves in some other stupid way had they not done it with a train.But it's not a total loss for the family because now they don't have to erect a track-side memorial for the second kid, there's already one.

Arab Spring more like Lord of the Flies

Here are members of Obama's Arab-Spring parading around with the corpse of the US ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, after murdering him and three other embassy officials this morning in Benghazi.

And what are our quisling media saying about it? They are apologizing for the offensiveness of the stupid Youtube video that enraged this assholes in the first place. They are feigning outrage themselves for the movie having been made in the US.

Why Benghazi isn't alight with the fires of carpet-bombed napalm already is a mystery to me. President Obama wants the US to be liked and himself to be adored by everybody in the world, so he won't say anything even slightly vengeful. What he sold to us as the spring of democracy in the Arab world turned out to be utter chaos and anti-Americanism.

The world is a much safer place in which to live when the rest of the world is terrified of the US. You misbehave in a way that harms US interests, you get punished. Clearly these bastards do not fear the US. Romney needs to give an unequivocal statement on how he would avenge these murders, which by the way, might rise to the level of an act of war. But I doubt he'll say anything that strong.

Begun the implosion of Egypt has

Today 2,000 Islamic radicals stormed the unoccupied American embassy and tore down the American flag there. In it's place they raised a black flag that said, "There is no god but Allah and Mohammad is his messenger."

Apparently they are upset about a movie that somehow insults their imagined prophet Mohammad and think it was made in the US by Coptic-Christian Egyptians living here. If dictator Hosni Mubarak was still in charge, none of this would be happening, the Egyptian military would have crushed the protesters without thinking twice, and Egypt would still be an American-friendly place to visit. But Obama thought the Arab-Spring had merit in Egypt......I argue that it did not. 

No matter who wins the election, the nearly $2Billion in aid, mostly military, will continue to flow since Egypt controls the Suez Canal through which vast amounts of middle east petroleum are transported. 

Until we get a libertarian-minded President who'll cut off all financial aid to nations no longer friendly to the US, I suggest we leave Egypt and the rest of the Middle East to the radical savages if that's what they want, and if they attempt to restrict the flow of oil through the Suez, we terminate them with extreme prejudice. 

I hope Obama's happy with his decision to allow the Arab-Spring to take over Egypt rather than supporting Mubarak, a dictator no doubt, but friendly with the US nevertheless. 

The nightmare that would be an Obama second term

If you think Obama has been radical with his leftist/socialist policy agenda, imagine what he'll try to do without the problem of re-election hampering him. We already heard him tell Medvedev to wait until after the election so he(Obama) would have "more flexibility". Who knows what manner of treachery they were hatching. Based on what he's already attempted, has said he'll do, and what he's written and talked extensively about doing, here's a list of the likely changes that'll take place if Obama wins another term.....

 From Investors.com.......

• A "speculation tax" on Wall Street covering all investment transactions. 
• A higher capital gains tax rate. 
• A reinstated estate tax. 
• Release of high-risk Taliban leaders from Club Gitmo, resettling them in Afghanistan. 
• Nationalized U.S. education system, including federal control of curriculum and federalized standards. 
• Ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, so the U.S. can't test its aging warheads. 
• Unilateral cuts in the U.S. nuclear arsenal. 
• A carbon tax on utilities. 
• A special windfall profits tax on oil companies to subsidize renewable energy projects. 
• Decriminalization of marijuana. 
• Expunging criminal records of many felons. 
• Socializing the private credit-scoring system used by banks, insurers and employers. 
• Socializing lending to small businesses. 
• Higher taxes, including a value-added tax, on the middle class for new transfer payments for the poor. 
• Suing towns to force public-housing integration of the suburbs. 
• Bolstering the Community Reinvestment Act. 
• Packing the the Supreme Court with leftists. 
• Stricter gun control. 
• Minimum living wage. 
• Universal 401(k) for the poor. 
• Wage insurance.

Of course amnesty for illegal aliens would be a priority also. The only item on the list that might not be a disaster is the decriminalization of marijuana. The war on drugs is an utter and complete failure....we need to try something else.

9/11 - Never Forget, Never Forgive

I was on my way to the lab, making my way through the Spain Rehab Hospital waiting room on the morning of 9/11 when the crowd around the TV caught my attention. I watched with everybody else, wondering how in the world somebody could accidentally crash an airplane into the World Trade Center on a bright sunny day.

Of course we wondered if it was on purpose, but the possibility still remained that it might have been the worst accident ever.......until this image appeared on the screen, then we knew. To this day, every time I see this image, my stomach still turns over with nausea because I remember viscerally, the shock that came with the removal of all doubt that we were being attacked.

No doubt they'll be celebrating today in the Middle East the way those subhuman bastards do every 9/11 anniversary. Our treacherous, quisling media lecture us every year not to revisit this event because it might make us resent or dislike Islam. But Islam is a twisted, 7th Century cult practiced by deranged, blood-thirsty savages and as such, it should be reviled and rejected by all evolved men. Those useful idiots in the media can go to hell along with the people who did this.

Look at this picture and think back to how it made you feel when the realization that we were being attacked  hit you like a ton of bricks, and tell me Islam, having directly inspired 9/11, has a place in civilized society.

Valerie Jarrett.....Obama puppet master

Why does Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett deserve 24/7 Secret Service protection at great taxpayer expense? At the height of the Left's unhinged hatred of Karl Rove during which he received multiple daily threats to his life, he never once got SS protection. What is it about Jarrett?

Does she think she deserves protection in the same way Nancy Pelosi thought she "deserved" a private Air Force jet at her disposal to fly around the world whenever she wanted. Or like Michelle Obama who thinks she "deserves" to take at taxpayer expense, dozens of extravagant vacations with scores of personal friends to exotic locations? Or is it something more?

-When Obama met privately with Warren Buffet in the White House private dining area, three, not two, places were set for the President, Buffet, and Jarrett.
-She regularly follows Obama to the private living quarters where she dines with him and Michelle.
-She also was the one who told Obama when was the right time out of many opportunities, to give the "GO" order on Bin Laden.

In short, Valerie Jarrett is the President in a very real, operational sense. Obama doesn't make a move without her approval or at her urging. If something untoward happened to her, Obama would be lost....he would be the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz, and he knows it.

Chicago teachers look like angry, unhinged lesbians

Teachers in the third largest district in the US after LA and New York went on strike this morning. Among their grievances is the rules by which laid-off teachers get re-hired at other schools and how teachers get evaluated based on student test scores.

Chicago teachers' average salary is $76,000 a year. Are you kidding me? They make that much money to sit on their asses three months out of the year? And they turned down a 16% pay raise in order to go in strike. Chicago teachers are among the highest paid in the nation.

If none of this is making sense, that's because it is nonsensical.

Clearly the villainous union cares only about screwing over the Illinois taxpayers and not much about the kids. But then that's all unions ever care about....more money, less accountability, fatter union membership rolls, and more money.

I can't help but wonder that since the Wisconsin teachers' union strike failed utterly, other public sector unions are desperate to regain their dwindling power by bringing a city to its knees with outrageous demands.  I wonder if this was orchestrated by smarmy union bosses to re-establish the power of unions in the public sector as a way of helping Obama.

The stated reasons for the strike just don't add up to strike-worthiness.

Democrats want voter fraud

Did you ever stop to wonder why democrats uniformly oppose voter ID laws? Why, if you don't mind illegal voters not being allowed to vote, would you be against having to prove who you are before you vote, when Americans have to prove who we are for almost every other official activity we engage in? The only conclusion you can draw is that democrats rely heavily on voter fraud to get elected and any remedy to this must be demagogued as racist.

Democrats cannot admit reliance on fraud to win elections so they trot out one or both of these phony reasons: 1- democrats think segments of their voting base are too stupid or lazy to get a government issued ID card. or 2- democrats think that $10 is too much to ask a citizen to pay to have a photo ID card.

To address #2, I'd happily let the government give away photo ID cards for free to anybody who wanted one. They're too important not to have one. How does anybody get by in life without some form of photo ID anyway? Besides, $10 which is the cost of an ID card, isn't a burden on anybody and cannot be considered a poll tax.

As far as #1 goes, these are democrat voters. By definition they are dumb and lazy....heh heh.

A garden-variety democrat....

US prepares for Afghanistan pullout

On the same weekend that terrorists killed 90 civilians in Iraq, the US handed over operational control of the Parwan detention facility in Bagram, Afghanistan to local authorities. We kept about 50 of the most dangerous detainees because we naturally assume that the moment we leave, the Afghans will release everybody else.

We declared military operations over after 10 years in Iraq, yet the violence and political uncertainty remain the dominant paradigms there. Now we're preparing to leave Afghanistan in even worse condition than Iraq.

Can somebody, anybody please explain the purposes of either of these misadventures(I mean other than keeping our defense contractors flush with taxpayer money)? A more colossal waste of blood and treasure I've never witnessed.

Now Syria is about to implode and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that our troops end up there too.

I don't give a damn about any of these people other than to what extent they contribute to the delivery of petroleum to our refineries. It's not our business if their government mistreats them. If they don't like it, do something about it. Stage a bloody coup or something.

Chevy Volt - officially the worst car ever made

Obama stupidly promised that he'd have 1 million Chevy Volts on the road by 2015. (Because Americans don't want to drive stupid electric cars, Obama decided to impose it on us with mandates and gov't incentives.) As of right now only 3% of that goal has been met.

As always with meddling democrats, their intentions are what's important, not their results. The Volt is over-engineered and vastly over-priced....so much so that GM loses $49,000 on every one that gets sold by the time you factor in the development costs, government subsidies, labor union costs, and buyer discounts. The only reason they reached 3% is because Obama mandated that government fleet purchases are for Volts only. Obama needed sales figures to be inflated since only the dumbest of consumers would buy such a piece of shit car.

Mercifully the Volt assembly line shut down last week, but you'd never hear from the media about what an abject failure it was because that would reflect badly on The One.

Clint Eastwood continues ripping Obama

Regular reader Barry posted this on his FB page so I swiped it.

The line should read, "Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.....and it was done to us by our own guilty, white media." 

I might argue that man-made global warming is the greatest hoax, but that's a global hoax. Obama represents a strictly American fleecing at the hands of the feckless media. 

The "recovery" that wasn't

Last month's job numbers came out today and a piddling 96,000 jobs were added. With the sole exception of Sandra Fluke who was still agitating about having taxpayers fund her consequence-free sexcapades, nearly every speaker at the DNC touted the "recovery" that is supposedly taking place with the US economy, but what recovery?

The democrat media got the vapors as they reported that the unemployment rate dropped to 8.1%, but a mere 96K jobs added wouldn't account for that. What the democrats won't tell you is that 368,000 Americans dropped out of the work force, having given up looking for work. As you know, unemployment is calculated based on the number of people working and the number of people looking for work. If 368K quit looking, of course the unemployment rate went down.

I hate to point out the obvious, but despair and hopelessness in the workforce isn't exactly the recovery we were hoping for.

Meanwhile, during the Obama presidency the US economy was hyper-regulated at a rate 5X greater than during Bush. And there are another 1,400 some odd new regulations still in the pipeline. The economy is being regulated to death and this administration knows it. It's intentional, purposeful, and hostile. Obama believes if he can damage the economy enough, eventually everybody will be on some sort of government dole....and then his socialist/Marxist vision of America will have been realized.

We're not in a recovery, we never were.

Obama's "you didn't build that" statement exposes his collectivism

You may remember a recent speech by Pres. Obama in which he said this regarding entrepreneurship,

"....somebody invested in roads and bridges.  If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that.  Somebody else made that happen."

It was a poorly chosen way of trying to convince wealthy Americans that they owe other Americans for part of what they've achieved. He pointed out specifically that business owners didn't build roads, bridges, and schools. His point was that other people did that and there is an implied contract between the rich who benefit from use of the roads and blue collar workers in society such that, through government, the road builders deserve some of what the business owners earned in profits. 

Allow me to school the President on a thing or two: roads, bridges, and schools take money to build....tax money. The government didn't built those things out of the goodness of its heart, it appropriated tax money from citizens to pay for every penny of construction. And who pays taxes in this country? The rich, that's who. Business owners and entrepreneurs paid a vast majority of all taxes collected that pay for infrastructure.

So Mr. President, people who own businesses DID build roads, bridges, and schools in an almost literal sense. The minimum-wage ditch digger who physically laid the concrete likely bore no federal income tax burden and therefore didn't contribute anything but labor to that project. Labor for which he was compensated already. Nobody owes him anything for his having built that. 

By making that statement, the President showed how little he understands how economies work. His collectivist ideology was transparent. It is profoundly pathetic and disappointing that our own media and at least half of us agree with him. 

Democrat -- the official party of atheism and antisemitism

Proposed slogan for the DNC -- "The DNC, come for the socialism, stay for the atheism and anti semitism."

When Barack Obama, the de facto head of the Democrat Party, had the lone reference to God and recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel removed from the democrat national platform, he effectively alienated Christians and Jews from his base....just kidding, democrats didn't care? 

The US government has always had a policy of supporting Israel in the middle east as she is the sole representative republic in the region. American Christians support Israel because the Bible commanded in Genesis 12:2-3 when God spoke to Abraham saying, [sic]"......I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse...".

This isn't a post about supporting Israel. I don't care where you stand on that, my question for democrat believers is how can you as Christians, stand with a party whose basic platform specifically and intentionally removed God and political support for Israel.

"But Ed", you whine, "surely you as a libertarian can't agree with everything the GOP stands for, yet you vote with the GOP most of the time." 

Certainly you are correct, but my differences with the GOP are political minutiae compared to the slap in the face to Christians of specifically removing the name of God from the party documentation. I don't know how it's possible to rationalize that unless progressivism and the advancement of a socialist agenda are more important than your belief in God.....then it makes perfect sense. 

I guess if you are a casual, for-appearances Christian and your belief isn't really that big a part of your life, then abandoning God isn't a big deal for you. 

The sad display of racism at the DNC

And they call republicans racists. This is the button they were passing out at the DNC yesterday. This administration is the most racially oriented and polarizing administration in history, yet the media daily lets them get away with playing the race card against conservatives.

To liberals, the terms "social justice", "race equality", and "compassion" are code for keeping as many blacks dependent on government for their every need as possible, guaranteeing their vote every two years. That the DNC views blacks as a monolithic, guaranteed voting block is insulting and demeaning. Why blacks let themselves be treated like this by rich, white men is any body's guess.

Alec Baldwin beclowns self

Mentally retarded clown Alec Baldwin tweeted this yesterday:

"If Obama were white, he'd be up by 17 points."

If Obama were white, he never would have gotten into Columbia or Harvard, never have been editor of Harvard Law Review, never have been elected to the Illinois state legislature or the US Senate and he certainly never would have been President.

If Obama were white he'd have never made it past social agitation on the streets of south Chicago.

His entire career consists of one example after another of affirmative-action passes of a man who never accomplished anything on his own. His sole accomplishment of note was to convince a guilty white media to install him into the white house. 

If Obama were white, he'd be DOWN, not up, by 17 points. He's even with Romney precisely because he's black.   

Infestation at the DNC

Heh heh, bed bugs have been reported in nine of the hotels used by DNC convention goers in Charlotte.

I wouldn't wish bed bugs on anybody but democrats. Hilarious!
