'Slow Joe' Biden is wound up once again.

Jai singh | 05:57 | | | | | Be the first to comment!
The Weekly Standard, via JWF...
“I’m being straight about this. This is not your father’s Republican Party. It really is a fundamentally different party. There’s never been as much distance, at least since I’ve been alive, distance between where the mainstream of the Republican congressional party is and the Democratic Party is. It’s a chasm. It’s a gigantic chasm.”
Thank God for that. Because, Joe, it's not that the GOP has cast off and set sail for parts unknown (at least not the Conservatives that make up an ever-thinning slice of the GOP, but that's another issue entirely); it's the Democrats who've sped away from traditional American values and our Constitution, and wish to fundamentally CHANGE us to what we cannot be and still remain a Republic.

In fact, Joe, it's a very good thing there's some left in the GOP who would take a principled stand against you and your newly-crazy Party. Because if we didn't, we would not be Americans except in name; we'd be so far-Left as to be indistinguishable from Communists.

Which is exactly where the Democrats are headed if they keep their current vector.

I know; I was once a Blue Dog Democrat who voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976, and for Al Gore, twice, as US Senator from Tennessee.

All that before the Democrats began their CHANGE and started running far-Left.

We Conservatives act as an anchor, to try to keep this Republic together. You, Joe Biden, your Master Barack Obama, and his masters (out of sight but still pulling his strings) are too damned far-Left. And you have the nerve to say it's Conservative GOPers who've created this 'chasm'?

The 'chasm' you mention is between your freakin' ears.

That is all.

Oh, and this, revisiting 'Biden, the Wind-Up Debate Monkey'. Because some things never change.

Trayvon! That you, bro?

Jai singh | 05:45 | | | | | Be the first to comment!
This kid Trayvon Martin is making the news for getting killed by a 'white Hispanic'. Seems every LeftLibProgg is jumping to make him a hero, a martyr, a saint. Some are ready to kill 'em some 'pussy ass crackers' for it! Beware the men in hoodies!

Via Pat Dollard, this website has photos that aren't of a 'forever-12-year-old' kid. Check 'em out.
From Trayvon Martin's MySpace page (now sanitized away)

Trayvon Martin AFTER leaving the 12-year-old bracket. Again, sanitized away. WHITEWASHED!

Trayvon Martin, formerly @NO_LIMIT_NIGGA on the Twitter. SaNiTIzeD! (That's his mother's name...so proud she is~!)

I left a comment over at Wagist's page, as follows...
Wait! I thought for sure that Trayvon was forever 12 years old, a perfect saint who is now a martyr; a kid who was gonna be the next Martin Luther King Jr. if that EEEVIL! 'white-Hispanic' fellow hadn't come along and changed history! Tell me he didn't fall in with the wrong crowds; the elements who rap about killing cops and father-raping, about using drugs and being all gangsta! Surely he didn't swing on a bus driver! And that suspension? Why, he was just in the wrong place, likely walked into the women's restroom by mistake or sum'pin!

You shouldn't be trying to tear down these saintly hero types, man. You be tuggin' on Superman's cape ri'cheer. Or, on Obama's son's hoodie, take your pick.
Heh. But, drug dealing? c'mon, man, that's OBAMA'S SON~!

ObamaCare: Supreme Challenge to Our Freedoms

Jai singh | 05:43 | | | | Be the first to comment!
It's amazing what Left Liberal Progressives are willing to give up in order to be coddled from cradle to grave by a massive, hulking government. In this case, they are willing to give up the very core principles that this Republic was founded on: the idea that we, citizens, are independent thinkers and have the rights to reason individually whether or not we choose to purchase a thing.

If ObamaCare stands, the necessary checks on our government’s power all but vanish, as the Commerce Clause will become the grand hammer the Left desires. Government will have almost unlimited power to tell every citizen, and every group of citizens that make up our families, churches and corporations, exactly how they must behave and what they must purchase, under penalty of law. So much for the notion that Americans are still independent thinkers, and that Government should operate under strict Constitutional guidelines, and exist mostly in the background.

These Left Liberal Progressives left their mother's womb for what reason? Seems they spend much of their lives wanting to return to it, and to force everyone else back into one as well.

'I'm the fourth best president in American history': Barack Obama on 60 Minutes

Jai singh | 08:48 | Be the first to comment!
No, Mr. Bozo, you are not even approaching the stature of Ronald Reagan or even that of either of the George Bush(s). Your narcissism, however, is greater than that of ANY modern U.S. President's; and rivals that of some of the worst of foreign dictators, including but not limited to Hugo Chavez, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi.

Obama Releases Known Murdering Terrorist Ali Musa Daqduq

Jai singh | 07:18 | Be the first to comment!
Yes, this is shameful. Our President is without honor...


The Daqduq Disgrace

Obama releases a terrorist rather than send him to Gitmo.

One of the most widely photographed acts of President Obama's first year in office was his symbolic pre-dawn salute to the caskets of U.S. soldiers returning to Dover Air Force Base. In the case of a terrorist named Ali Musa Daqduq, who was released yesterday from U.S. custody in Iraq, the President is letting down those fallen soldiers and their families.

Daqduq is a Lebanese national and top Hezbollah operative who in January 2007 masterminded the ambush, kidnapping and murder of five American soldiers in the Iraqi city of Karbala. Arrested by U.S. forces in Basra two months later, Daqduq is said to have initially pretended to be deaf and mute. But he eventually talked, giving U.S. interrogators an extensive picture of the ways in which Iran was arming and training Iraq's insurgents.

Now Daqduq is in Iraqi custody—released, according to the Administration, because it could not lawfully do otherwise. "We have sought and received assurances [from the Iraqi government] that he will be tried for his crimes," said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman for the National Security Council.

Mr. Vietor surely knows the likelier outcome is that Daqduq will be released or acquitted so that he can rejoin his comrades in Beirut or Tehran. The Iraqi government has already released some 50 other prisoners responsible for attacks on U.S. forces.

The Administration contends that its hands were tied by the U.S.-Iraq status-of-forces agreement negotiated by the Bush Administration, which required Iraq's consent—not forthcoming—to remove any prisoners from the country. But it's hard to see why that stipulation would apply to Daqduq, who is not an Iraqi citizen.

It's almost 2012, thankfully.

Occupiers are Marxists. Don't doubt that for a minute.

Jai singh | 06:54 | | | Be the first to comment!
Here you go. Livestream from Occupy San Diego. Watch past the first several minutes; the sound improves at about 6:25 and you'll get the jist of it.




Can't blame if you don't watch the whole thing. It's embarrassing that there are purported 'Americans' (besides Noam Chomsky) who embrace this dirty socialist ideology.

We are at ideological war with an increasingly out-of-the-closet far-Left who are now openly embracing the tenets of Marx and Engels, and pushing for the transformation of this Republic to a Democratic Socialist state.
Occupy = Marxism
Even Barack Obama came 'out of the closet' this week, at Osawatomie, Kansas; that speech should be studied by all, because Obama finally came out for Socialism, admitting that's been his ideology all along.

Just as we knew he was, all along. We had him nailed. Democrats could care less; most of them are now of the far-Left variety.

Those who aren't, let's see your push-back.

More on Barack Obama's Osawatomie Campaign Speech

Jai singh | 19:25 | | Be the first to comment!
...because it is worth studying; a perfect window by which one can read this man's intentions.

From the WSJ...

Most press accounts of Barack Obama's speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, Tuesday described it as delivered by the "president of the United States." And indeed the person delivering it analogized himself to Presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Bill Clinton. In fact, the Osawatomie speech was not given by the President of the United States. It was given by the leader of the Democratic Party. ...

The Osawatomie speech sounded like what you'd expect to hear in Caracas or Buenos Aires. As in: "The free market has never been a license to take whatever you can from whomever you can." (Applause.) And: "Their philosophy is simple. We are better off when everybody is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules."

Some will say hearing crude Chavista populism in the Obama speech is an overreaction. That once it's understood the Kansas speech was the work of the party leader, not the president of the United States, it becomes easier to think about it without overreacting to its intense and vivid rhetoric: "Millions of working families in this country . . . are now forced to take their children to food banks for a decent meal." ...

We have in a president's place a figurehead, not a leader. This man-child is not leading America from the perspective of the Executive branch (the Executive has only a third-share of our political power); he's attempting to direct us as would a monarch. He actually believes he's single-handedly running this nation.

Not so much, Barack Hussein Obama. You've a third-share, and a short-term nearing the end. Four years and done, if we are lucky; if we are serious about keeping this Republic intact, not giving in to what's easily seen as neo-Marxism. Our country isn't set up to run on such weak sauce.


If we can't beat this ideology, we can only dig in and oppose every facet of Obama's 'leadership'. Because he is leading only those who are already gone too far-Left to be called Americans anymore, and doesn't care about the rest of us.

Obama's Osawatomie Speech: Presenting the KING of the OWWIES!

Jai singh | 06:12 | | | | 1 Comment so far
Class warfare, presented on the public dime. Seems Barack Obama is reaching out to the Occupy Wall Street crowd, doesn't it? Who can deny that Barack Obama is anything but a class-warfare-indulging, community-organizing neo-Marxist looking to attract the soft, weak, compliant, expectant, fat, dumb and happy Americans who want things handed to them, and are willing to give up their freedoms to get on some form of Government dole?

This speech is an example of what we can expect from Barack Hussein Obama right up until November 2012, when hopefully he'll be kicked to the curb by real Americans. But know this: he's going to do whatever he can to attract the weak 'Americans' who expect to have things given to them. Buying votes, that's all Barack Obama and Democrats can do; he certainly can't run on his miserable record, can he?

Timothy Egan on Gun Control

Jai singh | 03:38 | | | | | Be the first to comment!
The problem with your stance, Mr. Egan, is reflected in the very title of your article; your use of your far-Left qualifier 'Gun Nuts'. You hate us.

Reading your piece carefully, it seems to me to drip with barely concealed hostility to the notion of gun ownership. We of the NRA know that the Democratic Party is hostile to the public ownership of firearms. Gun Control is as fundamental a Democratic Party Plank as Abortion and Atheism. Democrats are fundamentally enemies of the 2nd Amendment. Look to where they've long-term roots, in overpopulated cities and states: NYC, Chicago, LA, Washington DC; all of these places are hostile to our rights to gun ownership. It's a well-known Democratic (and United Nations) political plank.

Mr. Obama's potential to damage the 2nd Amendment is as vast as any far-Left Democrat's; and recall his promise to 'fundamentally CHANGE this country'. We simply cannot afford him any trust.

As a member of the Left wing, you can point to many issues that you wish Mr. Obama had pushed farther Left; gun control being one of them. If we see Mr. Obama re-elected in 2012, unfettered with worries of re-election, then we will definitely see his far-Left anti-gun (and other far-Left) agendas in full bloom. We, the defenders of things Constitutional, cannot but continue to challenge him and other far-Left Democrats.

Oh, and please, never mention 'hunting' in the same article as 'gun rights'. The 2nd Amendment has absolutely *nothing* to do with hunting.

Belated Thanksgiving Post

Jai singh | 20:31 | | | Be the first to comment!
Dan Collins has this little illustration posted today, as part of his 'Dan's tips for a Memorable Thanksgiving' post; an old 'pillory' scene from Life Magazine (?). The Pilgrims, and other early American societies, used the public pillory for modifying wrongful behaviors, as needed. The original pic was titled 'Ye Glutton', which didn't much work for me, because ye dude pilloried was teh skin and bones.

So, 'Ye SCOAMF'. Because this fellow forgot to mention God in his Thanksgiving speech. It's clear that the 'new' far-Democrats are the Party of Atheism.


Three football games today; Dallas won over Miami, which hurt my feelings a tad. Just to prove I'm not a bad sport, here's a nice photo of a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader. Because I can certainly return to good cheer whilst looking at her.


An email from Americans for Limited Government touted four political cartoons, all Thanksgiving-related.


Some of our troops stationed in Bagram sent a message to the Owwies: quit yer bitchin'. Punk-ass bitches that you are, you can't help it, but still. Don't make me come back over there and slap-a-ho.


Hope you and yours had a very pleasant Thanksgiving!

An Outspoken 'John Galt'

Jai singh | 18:52 | | Be the first to comment!
There's a lot of people who are saying the same thing; just most of 'em don't come right out and say it so clearly.

The Secret Service left here, they were in a good mood and laughing," Looman said. "I got the feeling they thought it was kind of ridiculous, and a waste of their time."

So Bill Looman is keeping the signs up, and the photos up -- stirring up a lot of debate.

"I just spent 10 years in the Marine Corps protecting the rights of people... the First Amendment, and the Second Amendment and the [rest of the] Bill of Rights," he said. "Lord knows they're calling me at 2 in the morning, all night long, and voicing their opinion. And I respect their right to do that. I'm getting a reaction, a lot of it's negative, now. But a lot of people are waking up."

Two Nozzles of Douche (Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann) Discuss Occupy Wall Street

Jai singh | 06:19 | | | | | | Be the first to comment!
Here's Jabba the Filmmaker and Olberdouche on video (so much stupid in one place and time might well cause a Singularity of Dumb that pushes even more Americans farther to the low side of the intelligence Bell Curve).

So, why do I subject myself to this horrific Display of douchenozzelry? Just to point out that Michael Moore is blaming Obama for the raids on Occupy Wall Street venues; he's telling Olberdouche (who is sighing with mock resignation) that there are actually Americans left in the various Obama agencies that care about what happens to the cities; who seek an end to this Progression of Dirty Socialism that is Occupy Wall Street. And, more importantly, Moore and Olbermann realize that Obama isn't helping them reach 'their' version of Lefty Nirvana fast enough, and now believe that Barack Hussein Obama should probably be replaced with a 'real' Progressive.

Ha! Even these two miserable far-Leftists fail to realize that Barack Obama isn't in this for their simple-minded vision of far-Left dominance; his ideals have always been much farther left; they are disguised, they are far more radical, and Obama is desirous of such CHANGE that even these two laughing hyenas would shirk.

But, in the short-term scheme of things, we needs encourage Moore's and Olbermann's simple-minded anti-Obama rhetoric. Because the more they look to and support a third-party Ralphie Nader to run, the better off we sensible TEA Party sorts will be.

Sunset Obama 2012
I'm thinking the Occupy Charlotte group should be nurtured, encouraged and supported; because the Democratic Convention set for Sept. 3 2012 in Charlotte desperately needs to be visited by all these motley Occupy folks. And by the Nader wing; and don't forget the "Professional Left".

Maybe we can see another 1968 this time around, now that the holy-glow is off of Obama, and his unicorn is hiding from M'chelle (for fear of being eaten) in the White House basement.

Finally, a GIANT PAPER-MACHE HEAD makes it's appearance!

Jai singh | 04:15 | | | | Be the first to comment!
You know when the far-Left is involved in a protest: the giant papier-mâché heads come burbling out. All throughout the Bush years, these sorts of heads bobbled at anti-war protests, much to the delight of the Democratic political leadership and the 'Professional Left".

Now, we've got this 'Giant OBAMA Papier-Mâché Head' making it's debut at Zuccotti Park, for the Occupy Wall Street Dirty Socialist whine-and-crime fest!

A giant effigy of U.S. President Barack Obama is held up by people affiliated with the
Occupy Wall Street movement during a march outside Zuccotti Park in New York November 5, 2011.

REUTERS/Andrew Burton
Isn't he a thing of First Amendment beauty?

Finally. These 'Occupy' protests have been incomplete without these giant paper effigy heads!

But, I'll bet the occupant of the White House and the "Professional Left" (but I repeat myself) are not as amused this time around. Look for Barack Obama to give the go-ahead to Mayor Bloomberg to finally clean up Zuccotti Park, because it's becoming well-known as one of the worst crime zones in New York City...

The Zuccotti “cops” had just spent an hour and a half tracking Bezabeh through goat paths in the park armed with a description from the manager.

“We cannot take him in by ourselves, the cops have to come!” reiterates the OWS security force member.

They call the NYPD -- and it becomes abundantly clear that the cops down there are sick of the antics.

“Every single night it’s the same thing. I mean, some guy was a victim of rape!” an officer snarls. “There comes a time when it’s over. This is a disaster. It’s all we’re doing, every two seconds, is locking somebody up every time. It’s done.

“It’s done,” he repeats. “Occupy Wall Street is no longer a protest.”

Scenes like this -- and far worse -- have been playing out since the Zuccotti Park “occupation” began on Sept. 17.

The parcel is now a sliver of madness, rife with sex attacks, robberies and vigilante justice.

It’s a leaderless bazaar that’s been divided into state-like camps -- with tents packed together so densely that the only way to add more would be to stack them.

And despite an NYPD watchtower overhead and the entire north side of Zuccotti lined with police vehicles, it is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous places in New York City.

The Zuccotti Park Protest Deathwatch has officially begun. The bulldozers can't be long off now.

(Oh, and someone needs to tell all these Occu'tards, everywhere, to stay out of the road.)

On Democrats, generally, and their RACIST! PLANTATIONS of DEPENDENCY

Jai singh | 06:46 | | | | Be the first to comment!
Democrats have no 'truth' unless it's manufactured to further their agenda; ask Dan Rather about the 'truth' of George Bush's National Guard service.

Democrats have no 'honesty' unless it's their version of it; ask retired Democrat Bart Gordon why he fled the 6th District before the 2010 election, he'll tell you the reason was because he's 'too old' (he was 60). The real reason? because he was tired of having to kiss Nancy Pelosi's far-left jack boots.

Democrats won't recognize Christmas trees unless they are named 'Holiday Trees', and only accept those if they are not in public places.

We, Republicans, will gladly give a hand to a person who needs it; but we will not make it a lifetime attraction. Democrats will build gift 'plantations' where they will assemble those whom they believe 'need' their gifts; then keep on those 'plantations' minorities they've assembled, for their 'own good'. And these minorities dasn't never leave the Democrat's 'Plantations of Dependency', or they'll be Hell to pay. Just ask Clarence Thomas or Herman Cain, or any minority who dares NOT to be a Democrat.

The fact that a black man (Cain) can go from being poor to becoming a millionaire, without using the Government Teat...why, such stories could tear the Democratic Party apart~!

Or...whatever Party they've become.

Are you still an Obama voter? Forget getting Concealed Carry permit training from Crockett Keller, a Good Man in Texas.

Jai singh | 16:42 | | | | Be the first to comment!


Crockett Keller's CHL Radio Ad, from deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

…”We will attempt to teach you all the necessary information you need to obtain your [Concealed Handgun License],” the ad says. Then towards the end, it adds: “If you are a socialist liberal and/or voted for the current campaigner in chief, please do not take this class. You have already proven that you cannot make a knowledgeable and prudent decision under the law.”…
Can't say as I can blame 'ole Crockett for his convictions. Personally, I can't stand being around Obama supporters. Unless of course they've changed their tune since their Mistake of '08.

Why do far-Left Democrats want guns in the first place? That Party's long-time platform is antagonistic to our 2nd Amendment; their Party's prezzidint-man and his crooked henchman Eric (Resignation Watch!) Holder attempted to do a hatchet job on our rights, with this ill-conceived 'Fast and Furious' plot. Watch that scandal, and the Solyndra funding debacle closely: neither are going away anytime soon..

These current far-Left Democrats who are also die-hard dirty socialists and Obama supporters (but I repeat myself) aren't worthy or deserving of CCP training, really. Give 'em slingshots. Or spears to chuck.

Amendment 4:20: FREE SHIT

Jai singh | 06:18 | | | | | Be the first to comment!
I saw this buried in the pw commentary, written by Squid; it needs to see light-of-day and wider distribution, since the Left wants to take as a Constitutional Right 'free lunches'. From the Dirty Socialist Bill of Rights...

Amendment 3.14: FREE SHIT. The rightf of the People, seeing that otherf have more shit than they, to affemble and rediftribute said shit until such time af their shitty needf be satiffied, shall not be abridged.

4:20 is better as Amendment classifier I'm thinking, because that's the 'smoke it if you gots it!' time of day, and commensurate with the 'free shit' attitude these neo-Marxists espouse.

Oh, and this...

EXCLUSIVE: ACORN Playing Behind Scenes Role in 'Occupy' Movement

The former New York office for ACORN, the disbanded community activist group, is playing a key role in the self-proclaimed “leaderless” Occupy Wall Street movement, organizing “guerrilla” protest events and hiring door-to-door canvassers to collect money under the banner of various causes while spending it on protest-related activities, sources tell FoxNews.com.

The former director of New York ACORN, Jon Kest, and his top aides are now busy working at protest events for New York Communities for Change (NYCC). That organization was created in late 2009 when some ACORN offices disbanded and reorganized under new names after undercover video exposes prompted Congress to cut off federal funds.

NYCC’s connection to ACORN isn’t a tenuous one: It works from the former ACORN offices in Brooklyn, uses old ACORN office stationery, employs much of the old ACORN staff and, according to several sources, engages in some of the old organization’s controversial techniques to raise money, interest and awareness for the protests.

Sources said NYCC has hired about 100 former ACORN-affiliated staff members from other cities – paying some of them $100 a day - to attend and support Occupy Wall Street. Dozens of New York homeless people recruited from shelters are also being paid to support the protests, at the rate of $10 an hour, the sources said.

At least some of those hired are being used as door-to-door canvassers to collect money that’s used to support the protests.

Sources said cash donations collected by NYCC on behalf of some unions and various causes are being pooled and spent on Occupy Wall Street. The money is used to buy supplies, pay staff and cover travel expenses for the ex-ACORN members brought to New York for the protests.

In one such case, sources said, NYCC staff members collected cash donations for what they were told was a United Federation of Teachers fundraising drive, but the money was diverted to the protests.

Sources who participated in the teachers union campaign said NYCC supervisors gave them the addresses of union members and told them to go knock on their doors and ask for contributions—and did not mention that the money would go toward Occupy Wall Street expenses. One source said the campaign raked in about $5,000.

And we thought that bunch of dirty socialists was 'disbanded'. Not so. Didn't stake 'em through the heart.

But finding the taint of ACORN definitely show Obama's hand right on the control levers of "Occupy Wall Street", doesn't it?

Occupy Oakland: Tear Gassed, Bean Bagged, Wooden Dowelled, Arrested: UP TWINKLES~!

Jai singh | 04:56 | | | Be the first to comment!
Seems the gloves are off in Oakland, where dirty 'Occupy Wall Street' socialists were evicted from their squalid encampment in Frank Ogawa Plaza. After, they decided to 'down twinkles' the police; who responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, wooden dowels and bean bags.

Most of the losers went home, to clean(er) beds in mom's basements. Some die-hards are still wandering the streets (the plaza is closed for cleaning of 'debris and defecate').

The rolling protest came about 12 hours after hundreds of police from across the Bay Area rousted about 300 people from the two-week old camp at Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. Tensions escalated after protesters vowed to return to the plaza, which was left with tents overturned and food, carpet, personal belongings and mounds of trash strewn on the lawn.

"We had to deploy gas to stop people from throwing rocks and bottles at police," said Interim Police Chief Howard Jordan, adding that he was unsure about what other crowd control methods were used by outside police agencies. There were unconfirmed reports that flash-bang grenades and wood dowels were launched at protesters.

Following the pre-dawn raid, about 500 protesters initially met at the main branch of the Oakland library at 4 p.m., chanting that they would "reclaim" what they now call Oscar Grant Plaza named for the unarmed man who was killed in 2009 by a BART police officer.

The demonstrators sparred with hundreds of police for more than six hours forcing police to close streets, reroute traffic and launch four rounds of bean bags into the crowd of protesters.

At one of the most tense moments

near Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, sparks from explosives thrown at police by protesters and tear gas canisters could be seen exploding over the scattering crowd.

The number of protest injuries were not immediately known, but two officers were hurt when protesters splattered them with paint.

As of late Tuesday, the crowd had not dispersed and an earlier tweet by Occupy Oakland organizers gave locations where the group wanted people to congregate and urged demonstrators to "bring
bottles."

Chief Jordan said 102 people were arrested Tuesday, the majority taken into custody before dawn. ...

One officer said that during the camp shutdown, protesters threw bottles, skillets, other kitchen utensils and rocks at police. They also "threw plates at us like Frisbees," the officer said. Police confirmed that protesters had set off a fire extinguisher and several low-level explosives to try to deter oncoming police.

Frank H. Ogawa Plaza will remain closed until public health and safety conditions can be improved; this includes debris, human waste and hazardous materials removal.


Heh: 'Occupy' Jail, losers.
