Congratulations, New Chocolate City

Goodby New Orleans,

With the re-election of Ray Nagin you have shown us all that racial bigotry does indeed still exist in this country. The man that you elected – AGAIN - has already proven himself to be one of the most dangerously incompetent politicians in the U.S. (and in this case the term absolutely applies - he KILLED hundreds of your fellow citizens with his negligence). You have re-elected an incompetent, arrogant and racist mayor whose only talents are his ability to blame others for his own mistakes and his willingness to demand hand-outs.

For me, New Orleans is now gone; and I turn my back on New Chocolate City. Henceforth you should get what you deserve and the next time you will be right when you say it is because of the color of your skin – but it will have been by your own doing. You elected this man for one reason and one reason only: because he is black, and that is disgusting... and that is... RACIST.

So from now on stop accusing me of being a racist – you are the racists.

From now on stop whining about your victimhood – you have just volunteered for it.

From now on don't blame Washington for your failures when you have just re-elected a colossal and proven failure to be your mayor.

We paid $100 billion for your laziness and your corruption and your ineptitude. Don’t expect us to pay a dollar for your stupidity.

Goodby, New Orleans... I've lost a playground... you've lost a future.

A Lesson From the Illegal Immigrants

The illegal immigrants have taught us a valuable lesson: if a group of potential voters decides that to openly break the law and demands loudly to be rewarded for breaking it, they will be given what they want.

This lesson has been taught to us – U.S. Citizens – by a group of people who A.) are not Americans; B.) for the most part speak minimal English; C.) purportedly have no money of their own and no major monetary support as a group; and D.) are very poorly organized.

Imagine what an organized group of LEGAL Americans with money who speak our language – actual voters – could do!

So what’s stopping us?

Ironically what is stopping us are two things that were once considered essential to getting along in life (this was in the days before the government took on that responsibility for each of us); and they are the same now archaic traits, the utter absence of which, has made it possible for some in this country to assume a pro-illegal immigration stance: COMMON SENSE and MANNERS.

Politicians have, once and for all, revealed themselves to be a shameless, self-serving group of panderers, bent only on prolonging their time at the public trough, no matter what the cost to America or its legal citizens.

It is now possible for citizens of one poor and powerless country to dictate the actions, laws and politics of another, much stronger and richer country - without a single shot being fired - and in less time that it would take for the stronger country's own people to do the same thing. Mexico's Stealth Army - comprised of landscapers, hotel staff, with a smattering of criminals - has invaded, over-taken, and now occupies the United States of America. A new warfare has been invented... a new war has been fought... and we have lost it.

And those of us who just want to be able to live our lives, with minimal interference from the Government, have allowed it.

Shame on us.

Unlike Bill Clinton...

Unlike Bill Clinton, who always includes in his speeches descriptions of his Oval Office sexual escapades…

Unlike Bill’s wife Hillary, who regularly explains her involvement in the Vince Foster “suicide”, the Whitewater scandal, et al, when speaking to private groups …

Unlike Al Gore, who never fails to talk about his duties as bag man for the Democratic Party while he was vice president…

Unlike Teddy Kennedy, who openly discusses that night, back in the 60’s, when he left Mary Jo to drown while he swam to safety and slept it off before calling police the next morning to report the accident...

Unlike the rest of the liberals, who always acknowledge and openly discuss their own mistakes and misdeeds, Dick Cheney, in his commencement speech to LSU graduates, conspicuously omitted talking about the defining moment in his life: the hunting accident earlier this year. Ironically, while addressing an audience about to embark on careers of their own, he chose to talk about his early life!

Carl Limbacher felt the need to point this out to his readers (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/5/19/155411.shtml?s=ic) in his report on Cheney’s speech, which contained several personal revelations about his early life which were actually relevant to the listeners. Apparently Limbacher believes that this glaring omission goes to show, once again, the evil nature of the Bush Administration in particular and the Republicans in general and needed to be brought to our attention, probably because the lap dog media so rarely “exposes” the dark side of the administration.

There’s always room for one more basher.

Telephone Database - What "Furor"?

The media descriptions of the public “furor” over the “massive database” of phone calls collected by the NSA is, shall we say, premature? Or shall we say… a LIE.

First of all, anyone who did not believe that the Government (and virtually anyone else who wants to) can search our personal phone records is a fool.

Secondly, I know no one who is upset about this in the least.

For the hundredth time this year, the media is trying to start a fire without kindling. In their blind hatred of George W. Bush, they have repeatedly failed to see the fact that the vast majority of Americans see almost any steps taken towards protecting our security as a good thing.

Also, the vast majority of Americans have nothing to hide.

Also, the vast majority of Americans see the “Government” as inept, corrupt and ineffective, but not as a evil machine whose sole purpose is to destroy the liberties of its own people. The latter, however, is the filter through which the media view everything - before presenting it as "news".

If the people of America want to find their freedoms being eroded, they need not look under every stone in Washington DC, to find the things that have been taken or kept from them, mostly by the Left, not by the “Fascist Right”.

The freedom to buy reasonably priced gasoline for whatever car they Choose to drive.

The freedom to speak out against issues without being described as racist or sexist or (even worse) Christian.

The freedom to smoke.

The freedom to be given news on the events of the world without having it first distorted by those who give it.

The freedom to succeed without being made to feel guilty for doing so.

The freedom to get a job because they are qualified for it, regardless of the color of their skin or the contents of their pants.

The freedom to offend other people.

The freedom NOT to have the ACLU and PC Police looking over their shoulder.

The freedom to be patriotic without being labeled with some derogatory term.

The freedom to be seen as Americans and to not be classified as dumb or smart based on the way their state voted.

The freedom to choose what schools to send their children to.

The freedom to pay their fair share – and only their fair share – of taxes.

The freedom to demand that welfare be given only to those who deserve it.

Bias Big and Small

CNN's "big-time" bias... never in question... surfaced again yesterday when they - and only they - started broadcasting President Bush's speech while he was still preparing to begin. The result was 16 seconds of slightly embarrassing footage of the President delivering a few lines and listening to or watching someone off camera.

CNN should be embarrassed, but isn't (of course) claiming yet again that it was just another one of those accidental things that happen so often [when Republicans are broadcasting].

Now here's an example of small-time bias coming from KTHV's website (http://www.todaysthv.com/news/news.aspx?storyid=28597)

Troy Anderson, "The 72-year-old mayor of Waldron has been charged with patronizing a prostitute and abusing the public trust for allegedly using his official position to obtain sex."

OK... stupid little story about corruption on a small scale but check through this article or any of the several articles on the subject scattered around the internet and you won't find a single mention of this clown's party affiliation. Wonder why? Because he is a Democrat and, as everyone knows, Democratic Party corruption is not newsworth. Actually the articles that I read didn't even mention this sleezebag's name.

MSM: "protecting our friends, destroying our enemies"

A noble policy if it werent' for the fact that America is their stated enemy.

Thank you CNN

In an apparent effort to prove two of the points that I (and hundreds of others) have raised regarding the meaninglessness of polls and the ridiculous level of bias in the media, CNN released this weekend, a "poll" showing that Clinton outperformed Bush.

I have not, and likely will not read the article.

As I have said before - a poll can achieve whatever results the pollster wants to achieve.

These two cases can rest now. Thank you CNN.

Pelosi - pawn in the Conspiracy

Some idiot named Ross Baker in the LATimes is now claiming that Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the wacko leftists in government are essentially a creation of Carl Rove.

“It's now pretty clear that the Republican strategy for retaining control of both houses of Congress is to present to the American people a parade of horribles: zany leftists with radical social agendas taking over Congress and, like diabolical Lilliputians, tying down Bush with investigations, subpoenas and special prosecutors.”

Is this guy nuts? Republicans did not invent these people or these issues. And Republicans are not parading them. The actually ARE the “horribles” and “zany leftists”. The plots that he cites as if they are fantasies - are REAL.

Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Dick Durbin, et al are part of the Right Wing Conspiracy? This is the most outlandish conspiracy theory that I’ve seen and isn’t worthy of a second rate blog, much less a third rate national newspaper. Why is this clown being published?

Oh wait... i forgot the first rule of American Media in the 21st Century: If it makes Bush look bad, it leads.

Why stop here? Why not just go ahead and claim that Rove is the head of a vast child pornography ring? Or that Bush and OBL are fraternity brothers? Or that Cheny got rich importing cocaine from Bolivia?

Being an American in America these days is an embarrassment.

New Scandal: Secret Service caught looking at average citizen!!!!

The New York Times… or the Washington Post… or CNN… or Howard Dean… or USA Today… or… Well anyway, someone “reported” today that a Secret Service agent glanced at several innocent American citizens last week when scanning a crowd. The Secret Service would neither confirm nor deny the incident.

This new evidence of the Bush Administration’s “above-the-law” attitude has raised questions among the press. Everyone from Nancy Pelosi to George Clooney has denounced this act as reminiscent of Hitler’s SS troops. Howard Dean predicted that, unless the Democrats gained control of Congress in this years election, “there will be a new holocaust…this time a real one… only this time it will be average Americans who are transported to the gas chambers”.

Henry Caphontian of Trenton, New Jersey, was one of the law-abiding citizens who came under the gaze of the Secret Service agent, who has been suspended pending Congressional investigation.

“He looked at me for what must have been a tenth of a second and it made my skin crawl. It looked to me like he was about to pull a gun and shoot me. I actually feared for my life.” Said Caphontian. “My only crime was standing in a crowd.”

Senator Arlen Spector, the most powerful man in Washington, immediately called for an investigation into the incident, stating that “this is not the first time the Secret Service has indiscriminately looked at someone.” Another 112 committee hearings are already underway, a number second only to the hearings into the flushing of a book down a toilet.

Ted Kennedy, who is chairing 103 of those committees, made the following statement: " Bush is a lying, big oil loving, Nazi liar. Americans will not stand to have their daughter's raped and murdered by an alcoholic Congressman... er... " His statement was revised shortly thereafter, as follows: "Mr Kennedy was more than usually drunk at the time of his statement. What he meant to say is that The President has gone too far. The current administration has no respect for the privacy of the American Public."

John Murtha's office said that this event was further proof that our troops were 100% against the Iraq war.

Nancy Pelosi said "What they said."

Jesse Jackson immediately found a live TV camera and announced that "Black America should Rise Up! Rise Up and smite the racist Republican government that is spying on and threatening every black man, woman and child in this countreh." Reminded that Mr. Caphontian was actually a white man, Mr. Jackson immediately found a live TV Camera and announced that the "racism of the Secret Service can no longer be tolerated. We must Rise Up! Rise Up! and demand that black men and women be spied on and shot by the Secret Service in equal numbers."

The White House apologized to everyone in the crowd who was seen by a Secret Service agent, offered $200,000 each for pain and suffering , even though an anonymous spokesman assured this reporter that Secret Service are forbidden to look at law-abiding Americans for more than one millionth of a nano-second. A full review has been ordered.

In response to this incident, Secret Service agents have been instructed to keep their eyes on the ground until Congress can get to the bottom of this latest episode in the scandal plagued Bush Administration.

A poll conducted by some liberal think tank asked 3 people this question: “Should the President’s Gestapo be allowed to shoot unarmed Americans for no reason?”

An overwhelming 67% of those polled said Absolutely Not and 33% had No Opinion; further confirming the public’s disdain for Bush’s authoritarian tactics.

POLLS MEAN NOTHING

What credence would you give to a poll conducted by… say… The American Anti-Smoking League... and the results of that poll announced that 77% of those polled thought that smoking should be outlawed in all public places.

Or

If there a poll by the National Rifle Association said that 82% of those polled thought that the right to bear arms (2nd Amendment?) is the most sacred part of the Constitution. Would you swallow it?

Or

Suppose the NYT (or whoever) conducted a poll asking “Do you think that the Federal Government should monitor everything you say on the telephone?” Of course, a goodly percentage would say no to that question (although not as many as you think); but regardless of the numbers, would you believe the result to be reflective of the American Public's opinion of the phone database that is fueling today's moral outrage on the Liberal side?

Or

How about those "direction of the country" polls?

Our laws are not enforced… people are free to walk across our borders and demand the same (or better) benefits as our citizens… fat people blame McDonald’s for their obesity… where Cynthia McKenney gets re-elected… Jesse Jackson is a black leader… the media feels “obligated” to expose our military secrets… George Clooney is the spokesman for the Democratic Party… being abused as a child gives you a free pass for anything you do later in life…Republicans “control” the White House and Congress and act like they lost the last 4 elections… and on and on.

Who in the hell doesn’t think this country is headed in the wrong direction? Those are the people that I want to hear from. So the poll says 62% or 99% believe we are headed in the wrong direction and that constitutes (to MSM) some sort of mandate against GW Bush. Wild extrapolation!

In order to drum up opposition to anything Bush related, the media characterizes issues in a false and inflammatory way, distorts any facts that actually get included in the story, or just flat out lies, and then makes its “case” – against a false and distorted issue.

And – as always – the rest of the ducks quack the same story, and most of us end up just where they wanted us to be: believing it. The point is that polls are designed to get a desired set of results. Both sides do it, although the liberal biased poll results get much much much more exposure.

At least polls have a subtle fragrance of legitimacy.

Rumor-mongering and outright fabrication requires much less effort and is, therefore, far more prevalent - again, practiced by both but with much greater success by the liberals.

Did Bush lie about WMD? Everyone knows that he did not; that he merely said what everyone in the intelligence community and everyone in Congress believed at the time. Maybe he (and all the others) made a mistake, maybe not – that is yet to be proven.

Is Bush tied to Big Oil? There isn’t a shred of evidence to prove this tired statement; but Bush was at one time an oilman so there is that possible connection. This is one area where the Democrats are safe: no president or presidential candidate that I know of has ever had any job but politics or “rich kid” (Roosevelt, Kennedy, Johnson, Kennedy, Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Kerry, Gore) whereas most Republican presidents or candidates have at one time or another actually done something other than politics (Eisenhower, Reagan, Bush, Bush) [Not sure about Nixon.] No Democrat will ever be accused of collusion with his previous industry because they have no previous industry – their only experience is politics.

Is the economy in bad shape? By every single measure, the economy is doing extremely well; but that doesn’t stop the stories.

Liberals are only doing what liberals do. We, the people, have no one to blame but ourselves, not just for believing them but for listening at all.

P.S. -- Liberals who respond to this post will first look for misspellings or grammatical errors and, if found, they will use those to insult my intelligence and discount anything that I have said here. Others will check the bios and find that Lyndon B. Johnson once worked at a carnival. The older ones will remember that JFK was a real war hero (as opposed to John Kerry). They will focus on any such discrepancy and will ignore the points of this post (that POLLS MEAN NOTHING) and concentrate on some tiny research error or generalization. --- but the thing is: I don’t need to do in-depth research to know what I know so, rather than attack me for not being “investigative” enough, defend your boys (MSM & all the rich kids) against my accusations. Or is that asking too much of a liberal?
