The Art Of The Lie III





.......................
Weaponry, blood and the American flag are favorite targets of both domestic and foreign anti-American propagandists. Attacking our form of government and economics while giving no alternative is standard. If they showed their alternative they'd be voted out of existence. Voters in America vote their pleasure as well as their displeasure, but they don't vote stupid.

The Art of THE lie is an art that is built on dishonesty, but many of the largest movements (think Mao or any communist movement) in our world's history were built on dishonesty and outright lies such as these two examples.

Weekend Wackjob



This fine fellow was at a "peace" rally and was obviously wishing the men, women and children of Israel well.
I'm sure he considers President Bush bloodthirsty for freeing the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and allying with Israel.
Helping people survive and be free is so passé.

Big Stink At Denison University Ain't Smelling Right

You read and you decide. Something doesn't seem right to me.

This is a timeline of the "hate crimes" and protests, rally and an all-campus forum at Denison University in Ohio.

Prior to Oct 31 - There was a noose drawn on a Halloween poster advertising a concert on campus.

Wed Oct 31 - Students spontaneously "point to the noose as a common symbol of lynchings of blacks in American history".

Wed Oct 31 - Concert cancelled, discussion forum planned for Nov 2.

Fri Nov 2 - Denison's university president announces to the media that another forum will be held Nov 7.


Mon Nov 5 - Graffiti pertaining to the movie V as well as a message to "Remember...Nov 5" has been spray painted around campus.


Wed Nov 7 - Laforce Baker, who is black, wakes to find a flier that had been put under his door with a swastika and the message “Stop Causing Trouble” on it. He reports it to the police, but decides not to tell anybody else because he wants the forum that the university president announced to the media to stay focused on race and transgender issues.


Wed Nov 7 - 2,000 students, staff and faculty (student enrollment at Denison is about 2,000) have an all-campus forum and discussion "over intolerance issues, including those against gays and lesbians" for 2 hours starting at 11:30 AM, but continued until after 8:00 PM to allow all those that wished to speak to do so. The forum was held in the university field house with tables set up for group discussions, recording devices to capture student thoughts and ideas and a sound system.

Denison students talk tolerance

University President Dale Knobel said the campus has had a history of
intolerance.


Addressing the assembly, Knobel said the acts of intolerance have built
up throughout time to the point some minorities wonder whether they belong at
Denison. He said for too long students who haven't participated in such acts
have stood by silently. By their failure to stand up against the perpetrators,
they are complicit in the acts, he said.

A statement written by 10 faculty members that was disseminated at the assembly condemned acts of intimidation and discrimination and said it is the responsibility of not just the victims, but everyone, to remedy the problem.

Thu Nov 8 - As students and faculty hear of the flier, swastika and threat put under Laforce Baker's dorm room door 200 students gather on Denison's campus for a rally to protest racism, sexism, intolerance and fear of violence. Some teachers cancel classes.

Emotions fierce at Denison protest (7:00 p.m. update)

Nearly 200 Denison University students rallied on campus Thursday in
protest over news that a flier bearing a swastika had been placed under the door
of a black student Wednesday morning.


Students — some in tears, many angry and others admitting they’re
afraid — took turns with a microphone starting about noon to express their
outrage about the latest development in a two-week odyssey over racism and
intolerance on campus.


“What can you do but protest at a time like this,” Knobel said. “I
stand in solidarity with you, and I’m grateful so many of you have turned out
now.”

The seemingly concerted effort didn't stop there. Go read the comments in the news article and it becomes very clear that plants are contributing comments as well as faculty and staff.

Something just ain't right here in River City, my friends.
.
UPDATE: I have received info from DU students that say they don't believe any of it and felt forced to participate in the all-campus forum which they said was a joke.

Liberals Act Like Intellectual Lepers

Exclusive: FBI: Al Qaeda May Strike U.S. Shopping Malls in LA, Chicago

We all heard the same report, but this is a sampling of the liberal response. You can thank me later, but I actually waded through this stuff saving you from the BDS exhibited by these morons.

Hmm...economy on the rocks, Bush's disapproval rating hits a record high, dissatisfaction with Iraq hits a record high...BOOGA BOOGA! Terror! Al Qaeda! Look over there!
Posted by: Dave J. Nov 8, 2007 12:04:39 PM


Everybody needs to stay calm....they tell us this every fricken year since 9/11. It's a government scare tactic. We are close to another election, and what better way to keep the sheep behind the fence then by fear of the "maybe" happening.
Posted by: andrea Nov 8, 2007 12:09:10 PM


Oh no! Not the malls! I mean, the fact that 5 political hacks and bums on the supreme court threw a federal election, and destroyed any remnant of democracy in this country, and that a mass-murdering moron continues to occupy the white house and destroy our nation is OK. But - if the terrorists destroy the malls, where will we get big-screen TVs! This must send chills down the spines of every true 'merikan.
Posted by: Bob Nov 8, 2007 12:16:33 PM


Whatever!!! I am really sick of these guys leaking this stuff to inspire fear just about the time they want to take more freedom away or distract from some illegal thing they did that the media picked up on. I'm not buying it anymore.
Posted by: aboe Nov 8, 2007 12:17:28 PM


We don't need Al Qaeda to disrupt the U.S. economy, we've got Gearge Bush!
Posted by: easystreet47 Nov 8, 2007 12:18:21 PM


At the rate the economy is going, no worry, none of us will have any money to be at the malls shopping.
Posted by: bonni Nov 8, 2007 12:26:13 PM


Hmm..lets see. Once again we have information, "that U.S. intelligence officers are uncertain as to whether the information is real, and intelligence officers say there is a concern that it could be "disinformation." What the FBI & the DHS has turned into is a Ministry of Disinformation. Goebbels and Goering are laughing in their graves.
Posted by: Doug Nov 8, 2007 12:36:57 PM


Let's see, there was an planned jihadi bombing of the mall in Cherry Valley, IL and the jihadi shooting up the mall in Utah, both within the last year.
So obviously any warning from the federal government that there could be a coordinated attack at malls during the busiest time of year is obviously a plot by the Bush administration to boost their ratings.
Posted by: mike Nov 8, 2007 12:43:30 PM


I suppose this is planned for Black Friday - I do believe these attacks are planned on a yearly basis. Of course no one will be in the malls this year as no one has ANY MONEY!!!Shouldn't be a problem. Any chance of Bush and Cheney shopping in these malls during the planned attacks?

I am glad this is being treated with the contempt it deserves. Not that it might not happen, but if it does, we are not as likely to invade another wrong country.
Posted by: Jim1348 Nov 8, 2007 12:50:01 PM


Remember, we must remain "vigilant", like Dubya told us...that will stop the attacks.
Posted by: Ahora Nov 8, 2007 12:52:25 PM


If these attacks take place, I as a conservative would greatly favor impeachment of Bush for he has allowed the border to stay open and God only knows how many terrorists have come in disguised as tomatoe pickers. Terrorists are here to do jobs Americans won't do too-whacko McVeigh excluded.

This highlights the real harm the Bush Admin did in lying to the world about an Iraqi threat. They can't be trusted. When there is a real threat the USA no-one will be able to believe them. I can only hope that someday justice will be done and Bush/ Cheney will be in prison where they belong.
Posted by: Ballard High Nov 8, 2007 12:59:55 PM



9-11 was an inside job, and a 'terrorist' mall attack will be too. This will be the next 'false-flag' attack by the globalist cabal at the top levels of our government to expand the national security umbrella to malls, shopping areas - and every other place that isn't already under the maniacal grip of police-state control. The trucks rounding up dissidents for detention and extermination will follow. Thanks FEMA!
Posted by: Jeffro X Nov 8, 2007 1:00:58 PM


"al Qaeda hoped to disrupt the U.S. economy and has been planning the attack for the past two years." Maybe they should enlist George Bush - he's done more to crash-dive the economy and devalue the Dollar than any terrorist could dream of doing...

YIKES! While we all go broke and our country is ruined from the inside. Shame on us. We're letting this happen to ourselves. 911 was an inside job designed to have THIS VERY EFFECT. Be afraid while cheney/bush destroy our whole country.

They are coming to get us, Help me please... Just more fear mongering from Bush and Cheney.
If they were really worried they would have shut down the constant flow of illegal immigrants coming across our borders.
Bush is a liar, and his administration has used 9/11 to trample our rights in the name of Security.
Remember this quote from our forefathers...
"people willing to trade their freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both" Posted by: HoHum Nov 8, 2007 1:05:09 PM


Gee imagine that, another terror warning just as our gas prices are set to go up to $4 a gallon within the next few weeks. Nothing like taking your mind off of being raped at the pumps like another good ol Al Qaeda warning! Thanks for looking out for us Bush & Company.

Beware of shopping mall Santa's who only learned how to FLY the sleigh, but don't care how to LAND it. More nonsense paranoia from the minimal mind of George Bush, distracting his citizens from the many, many problems he's NOT addressing at home.

Ratcheting up the scare factor as usual...why anybody continues to believe in the myth of AL QAEDA is beyond me...the gubberment couldn't protect anything but their own interests in case of an "attack" anyway...
Posted by: Jeff Nov 8, 2007 1:07:56 PM


Okay, I give up. I am no where near even a tenth of the total comments written and this junior high crowd is boring me.

Whatever happened to the loyal opposition and reasoned debate. It died in "school".

Education, Indoctrination And Lies

Don't believe the previous story about educational indoctrination of America's youth, read this. Even Newt Gingrich is saying to conservatives, "Get on board with environmentalism." What utter crap.

Generational test for Republicans

Rep. Bob Inglis (R-S.C.), once a skeptic of global warming, got a hint
that the political winds might be shifting when a longtime supporter warned that
he might vote against Inglis if he “didn’t clean up his act on the
environment.”


The warning came from Inglis’ eldest son, Robert Jr., now 22.

His daughter was no less blunt about the congressman’s refusal to
embrace the view that global warming was being caused by human actions and that a serious response is needed. “I have three more kids coming up — and they seem to share the same view,” Inglis said.



Warming? You bet and then there will be cooling. Man-made? Rubbish and if Republicans cave and start supporting this crap, voters will see them for what they are. Cowards and opportunists.

Faculty Dishonesty At The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

A conservative institute, paid for by donors, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is acceptable as long as the faculty has the right to squash it and its beliefs. Of course the faculty is only concerned with the pureness of the university atmosphere. That Academia. It's also BS.

‘Fundamentally Inconsistent’ With University Values
Organizers of the Academy on Capitalism and Limited Government Fund hoped to turn their new program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign into a Hoover Institution of the Midwest, a model for getting more free market ideals and ideological diversity into major research universities.

But when a faculty committee was able to get all the details of the
agreement that created the new center, it found provisions that were
“fundamentally inconsistent” with university values that are designed to ensure
a diversity of views. Specifically, the panel found that portions of the
agreement would have restricted funds to research designed to reflect certain
points of view, and that donors were given control over matters traditionally
left to academics.


The faculty panel — which was appointed by the chancellor — said it
was “deeply troublesome” that the agreement to accept the center was made
without faculty consultation and that many details were kept secret until
recently. The panel called for Chancellor Richard Herman to renegotiate the deal
for the academy and on Tuesday, a spokeswoman confirmed that he had pledged to do so.

...

“We’re open to working in a collaborative way with the donors,” Burbules said, as long as any arrangement shows “unambiguous” respect for academic principles.

I'd believe the collaborator part, but respect for academic principles? Come on, what academic principles? Most faculty members are mini Mao's regurgitating the teachings from their own Little Red Books.

Academic principles, indeed. At least I didn't have to pay tuition to get professorial chuckles delivered right into my home. Maybe U of I at Urbana-Champaign faculty could up the humor level and hire Ward Churchill as a spokesman. Hilarity will be had by all.

Too bad today's students have to suffer under regime-like indoctrination instead of getting an education.

Like Ron Paul, Hillary Has The Foreign Vote

Maybe Hillary is just Ron Paul in drag. Well, outsiders sure seem to love them.

WJC: She's big in Canada, Europe
The Clinton campaign puts a lot of faith in polls, but Bill Clinton, in the first of two stops in Western Iowa today, cited one I hadn't seen before:
A survey showing that Hillary is the front-runner among Democrats and Republicans ... in Canada, Britain and Italy.

"In every country, without question, if you take out the undecided,
she had the absolute majority," Clinton said. "They like her, they respect
her."


(You do have to figure there's a name recognition factor here.)

"America's not going to get a honeymoon here," Clinton said, and
the next president will have to move fast to repair relations with the rest of
the world. "She would be the best to do that."


"repair relations"? Hey Billy, you mean like in France, Germany and England? Maybe Bosnia? Oh you mean with Lil'Putin's mini USSR and Communist China.

Yeah, Billy, you hop right on that.

I Disagree, OMG, YouMust Be A Neocon!!

If you believe we should help Iraqis and Afghanistanis be free, you are a neocon. If you think the SCHIP legislation is too expensive and a government grab for power and influence, you are a neocon.
The Anti-Neocon Fervor
Not long ago, while visiting a friend at Oxford University, I found
myself in a heated political discussion with a Scotsman. The subject of our
dispute was the Iraq war, but the conversation turned toward the rise of latent
anti-Semitism in once-respectable quarters of British opinion. Two years
earlier, a story entitled “A Kosher Conspiracy?,” illustrated by a gold Star of
David plunged into the heart of the Union Jack, graced the cover of Britain’s
most prominent left-wing magazine, The New Statesman. Since then, the
intellectual climate had only worsened. In response to my remark that many use
the epithet “neocon” to describe Jews, my interlocutor replied, “I’d rather be
an anti-Semite than a neocon.”


If you liked the Brady Bunch, you were a neocon, even if you didn't know it! And you kissed Alice. A lot.

Ariana Huffington Should Check On Her Children More Often

I try to read what liberals write. I really do. Many times I start an article only to be ambushed by a statement or a thought that is such a lie I can't go any further into the article. As such, I never get to find out if the article is filled with worthwhile thought or just another fetid swamp of noxious thinking and theory.

When the Red Planet's local boy, Dennis Kucinich, decided to impeach Cheney I thought if this made it out of committee it is something I should look at. So I tried.

The Impeachment Of Dick Cheney

After all, one year ago yesterday, we elected the Democrats in overwhelming
numbers to amplify our screaming voices to a decibel loud enough to penetrate
the unchecked corridors of power in Washington -- we hired this party to speak
for us and to use this expressed authority to end the war and to hold this
historically unpopular executive regime accountable.

Key words (to me) that Bob tries to couch his logic within:
overwhelming
screaming
penetrate
unchecked
hired
authority
historically
unpopular
regime
accountable

"overwhelming numbers to amplify our screaming voices to a decibel loud enough to penetrate the unchecked corridors of power in Washington." What a crap filled crock of wishful thinking cloaked in ignorance. That corruption merely capped Republican's conservative demise making them nothing more that pork filled big government Democrats would corrupt liberal dreams of a populace dreamily cheering them and their ideals to the forefront of history. Cesca's mandate for the immediate end of American involvement in Iraq is beyond delusional, it is an outright lie that the left has hung its hat on. Their heads will be cold this winter.

I'm sure someone takes Bob Cesca seriously, but as the "the el miriachi of comedy" he created a "new kind of comedy about a new kind of war" titled The War Effort, which Bob calls "a satirical documentary about the nation's post-9/11 knee-jerk patriotism. " By jingoism, I think he's got it! The comedians are all really sad don'tcha know.

To emphasize his knee-jerk liberalism, Bob also wrote these thought provoking phrases meant to sway the masses, the great unwashed masses that Bob and his betters are protecting through the jingoism of liberal defeat and self doubt:

"the collapse of Karl Rove's thousand-year Reich"
"the Bush administration's pro-torture policy"
"the regime's unitary executive theory"
"Dick Cheney: the most subversive political villain of our time"
"Dick Cheney: a man who has proudly committed innumerable high crimes"
"the Republicans still hold a collection of Democratic balls inside a cryogenic flask hidden somewhere on the Mall"
"a majority of Americans, including a majority of independent voters,
support the impeachment of Dick Cheney"
"their collective objections to the vice president's malfeasance"
"To the neocons and Bush Republicans, logic, compassion, reason and rationality are the stuff of the "faggy" left wing"
"When the Democrats acquiesce on torture or impeachment or anything that might reunite them with their balls"
"don't expect hand-holding and mutual masturbation between the Bush Republican White House and the Democratic Congress"


How sad Bob.

UPDATE: My sister just e-mailed me to tell me that she thinks Bob Cesca is really just a cover name for a popular bodice ripping Harlequin Books novelist. Could be.

Hate Bush? The Hell With Iraq & Iraqis.

IraqiPundit nails it. Read it.

America More Popular, Anti-Americans Less So

This is a very cool video, but the site, Say Anything, goes on to ask a question that many liberals including Ron Paul will not like to be asked.

Video: Sarkozy’s Speech Before Congress

What’s particularly interesting is that, years ago when the Bush
presidency was new and Iraq was a fresh issue, the left told us constantly that
George Bush was making America less popular in the world. Yet during the President’s term in office three of our traditional allies (Canada, Germany and now France) elected leaders that displaced virulently anti-Bush and anti-American leaders with people more of Sarkozy’s temperament (Stephen Harper in Canada and Angela Merkel in Germany).

Sort of almost seems like...that whole “less popular America” thing
just isn’t true.


But, but, but the liberals say we're mean warmongers that have destroyed America's reputation around the globe and Ron Paul says that when we're mean to Islamofascists and dictators they will attack us. Gee, what were we thinking, standing up for freedom in a heart of darkness like Iraq? Only fools wish for freedom or so it seems in some small minds.

Ron Paul Losers Want To Win By Cheating

Polls, okay, we have the packed and stacked internet polls where roNPaulians flock through prearranged planning to try to make their candidate appear to be the "winner". The fly in their ointment is that one can go to their sites and read the planning and the gloating.

Money (maybe/maybe not real money), stage one day extravaganzas to raise money and get news converage to appear to have the big-mo. That's campaigning 101, but the media picks it up and passes on their information that makes it appear that this is an organic and spontaneous show of generosity that the RP campaign has nothing to do with. You wanna a bridge in Brooklyn? Lucky day for you, I got one right here.

Swarm, get together a group of people to swarm websites to denigrate and pummel people as liars, incompetent, illiterate, neo-cons, fools, shills, or whatever if they don't support Ron Paul.

Spam. Ron Paul won the debate? Yeah, I guess most of the world, except the United States, believes he won the debates hands-down so you should vote for Ronnie if you believe spammers in foreign countries can vote.

Attack, attack, attack. "You don't know the constitution". "You are a neo-blood-sucking-con". "People would bother to reason with you if you weren't such an obvious lowly hack for the communist-loving Rockefeller-humping neo-cons." Etc., etc., etc.. People that say these things need a life or at least someone who can make them believe thet might have a life.

Conspiracy anyone? [insert name/group] is out to get Mr. Paul. In fact, all of the above is the work of conspirators out to get the only true and real constitutionally red blooded American left in the western hemisphere. The Founding Fathers actually talked about how the Joos were going to fool the entire country into war and a one world government, but they did it in secret which is why there is no written record, but we know it to be true, you, you, neo-con. Case in point: "This is nefarious and demonstrates the kind of tactics that the establishment could use to serve their interest in stopping the advance of Ron Paul and the Revolution for freedom that he is leading as well as his Presidential bid."

Why am I po'd about Ron Paul and his juvenile gangsters? Because I love politics and the life blood it gives our national debate. I hate little Mussolinis running around demanding this and demanding that, as if I really give a rat's ass what they want. As I have repeatedly said before, Ron Paul has had some good ideas, but I wouldn't vote for Ron Paul for any reason under the sun because of the fools, bullies and cheaters that seem to support him.

They are trash. And no amount of money will change that.

And there is more:

Decoy Election Websites Pretend to Root for Your Candidate

FredThompsonForum.com is one of a small network of sites with prime
domain names, like RudyGiulianiForum.com and MittRomneyforum.com, that have sprung up this year and share uncanny similarities. They use the same forum
software, are hidden behind anonymous domain-registration services and are
served by the same hosting company with a common internet IP address.


The content is also similar, sometimes featuring posts under the
impersonated names of popular political pundits and bloggers, or promoting
misleading links to candidate sites that route to YouTube videos attacking them.
Most posts adopt the persona of a supporter of the candidate, while offering
views that amount to over-the-top parodies of genuine boosters.


"A lot of it is sarcastic, and playing to stereotypical impressions," says Bill Beutler, a senior online analyst with the political consulting group New Media Strategies in Arlington, Virginia. "It is my impression that a majority of people on the (FredThompsonForum.com) board are Ron Paul supporters."

Courts: Underage Girls May Murder Without Parent's Permission

Alaska and Florida Courts Allow Under Age Girls to Abort Without
Parents’ Knowledge or Consent


Chief Justice Dana Fabe wrote that although the state “has an
undeniably compelling interest in protecting the health of minors and in
fostering family involvement” in such matters, Fabe wrote that the law “does not
strike the proper constitutional balance between the State's compelling
interests and a minor's fundamental right to privacy.”


...

At the same time, Florida’s 4th District Court of Appeal ruled Thursday
that a 17 year-old girl may go ahead with an abortion that she believed her
parents would object to on religious grounds.


How much longer until parents have no rights, especially concerning their children's health and upbringing, left at all?

Why would a court decide that a child is qualified to make such a momentous decision concerning life and death?

Have any of these charlatans thought how an abortion will numb a child to death?

These courts are not just wrong, this is judicial malpractice and parents, to protect their now and future family, should have the right to sue.

The Art Of The Lie

................























Propaganda is the art of THE lie. THE lie is a supposed truth that can be stated or implied through words and art.

"This is stolen land" is the supposed truth expected to be accepted immediately as fact even though it is a lie, but the power of propaganda is such that many will subconsciously store this away as fact.

The American flag is a common image in propaganda. The symbol of freedom throughout the world is graphically denigrated through implication, manipulation and outright lies such as above. The communists, socialists and fascists are famous for this, but the American Indian Movement (AIM) used the flag to trash America and American ideals extensively throughout the 60's and 70's. Now the left and liberals have joined their predecessors in tearing down America and all the good it has done and stands for by destroying the flag as a positive symbol.

Why is imagery so important to propaganda? Simple for the simple, the ability to pack so much meaning into an image and, most importantly, the lasting effect of an image.

Thought For The Day

Hillary Pulls Hair, Throws Ashtrays

Mondale: Clinton best-suited for presidency

Hillary Clinton is not only the Democrat most likely to win the 2008 presidential election, but the candidate with the best chance of bringing about real change, according to former Vice President Walter Mondale, who endorsed Clinton Sunday in Iowa.

Uncle Walter has endorsed Hillary. Bummer. For her. Watch out Bill, she's gonna be in a bitchy mood. Well, a worse one and you better duck.

The man who lost 49 states and actually probably lost his home state of Minnesota as well has decided that Hillary will be the candidate of change. he's right.

She'll change our taxes upward and our economy downward. She change health care into Hillarycare and make it the laughing stock of the world. Hillary will change our relationship with the Islamofascists trying to run the Muslim world by destroying our ability to fight them by trying to prop up Hillarycare and all the other liberal/socialist programs she wants with defense and intelligence money. In short she'll change us into France. Liberal change always adds up to billions of dollars.

All of this is threatened by the Walter's endorsement. His judgement is so incredibly bad that I hear his pony picks die before their gate can open, jockeys wear black and his trifectas are renamed the diefecta.

If Walter endorsed me tomorrow morning, I'd buy a cemetery plot by noon.

I'm feeling better about 2008 already. Thanks Walter.

Bashing Bush Conservative Style

Personally I am a tad tired of all the brilliant and erudite of the conservative movement and their bashing of President Bush. Oh, it may give them a few moments of above average coverage, but I think coughcoughthey'rewhores they shouldn't be carrying water for the liberals and Ron Pauls of the world. Let those tired and tiresome little trolls carry their own water.

I do not claim to understand all of President Bush's thinking, such as immigration. The black helicopter crowd claims that the Bush family has recently purchased a bazillion acres in northern Mexico because they know global warming is real and the ensuing earthquakes will dissolve much of north America's land mass thus President Bush's desire to keep the borders as open as possible so he and Laura, with the aid of a coyote in the dead of night, can sneak across the border to their new casa. I'd rather chew aluminum foil gum than buy this theory.

Of course others believe that George, being a tri-lateralist, has a financial gain in keeping illegals flowing like honey from mother earth's breast, er, or some such. A lot of the crowd that believes that the black helicopters are just a diversion believe and whisper constantly that George H. W. C. O. C. N. W. O. Bush(s) are actually using illegal immigration to mongrelize the continent paving the way for one world government led by the Union of American governments. Somehow the Illuminati, the Elders of Zion, the Council on Foreign Relations and mandated personal UPC codes for every citizen are supposed to fit in there as well, but I've lost track.

Me? I tend to think President Bush and I just disagree on immigration.

(Disclosure. I was once chastised for disagreeing with Senator Barry Goldwater, being the radical that I was. No use of the Rolls for a week.)

I think President George W. Bush has done many good things, both large and small.

This is one of them:
Thinking about Oscar Biscet
As I said in a recent column, conservatives are down on President Bush,
blaming him for everything under the sun, picking at him. Sure, he’s made
mistakes. But he also has greatness in him. And this was a great act. In
bestowing the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Oscar Biscet — an
all-but-forgotten and all-but-helpless man in a Cuban dungeon — George Bush has done an incredibly large-hearted and important thing.

The Inferiority Complex Of Liberal Racism

The Word "Racist" Is Racist

FIRE lifted one of these rocks by exposing a thought control program imposed in the dormitories at University of Delaware. As part of "Life Diversity Facilitation
Training," RAs are force-fed
definitions like this:

A RACIST: A racist is one who is both privileged and socialized on
the basis of race by a white supremacist (racist) system. The term applies to
all white people (i.e., people of European descent) living in the United States,
regardless of class, gender, religion, culture or sexuality. By this definition,
people of color cannot be racists, because as peoples within the U.S. system,
they do not have the power to back up their prejudices, hostilities, or acts of
discrimination.


...

The word "racist," as used by liberals, is nothing more than a racial
epithet employed to denigrate Caucasians.


It is directly analogous to the word "nigger."

It is somewhat like men who call all men rapist so they can feel more like a man.

The University of Delaware should be thoroughly ashamed of this program and offer partial tuition refunds along with their apology to all students and parents.

The Art Of The Lie

Propaganda has always been to make the lie believable, to gain political or social power or significance. The real problem with propaganda is that is, by nature, a self sustaining necessity for the propagandists in that to survive they must continuously produce more. The tragedy of propaganda is that the propagandist usually begins to believe their own work.

Way to go RoNpauliAnS, you've put your man in first place. Wahoo.

FINAL, OSU 38, WISCONSIN 17, FANS 0

ESPN said (really, I'm not making this up) that OSU "hangs on" to win.

Hangs on, 38-17.

HALFTIME, OSU 13, WISCONSIN 3, FANS 0

Once again the fans are in between the tussle of Big Ten TV, broadcast TV and cable over who gets to show the game and charge for it. A couple of the cable companies have already caved and are paying big bucks to carry the games. Meanwhile OSU isn't doing squat to assist the fans or alumni. After all, they are only the people paying the freight.

Isn't OSU football basically carrying the rest of the school, financially speaking? I mean I am sure that the women's field hockey program is attracting their crowd, but how is that women's department's study of violence by the patriarchal doing these days. They blame OSU football and their fathers.

UPDATE: A friend suggested listening on the internet to get around the TV screwup and guess what, radio is screwing fans as well. http://www.1460thefan.com/ is charging people to listen live. You have to buy a "Web Blitz" pass to listen on The Fan. Well, I am no fan and never will be, the pimps.

Hillary Clinton And Her Non-Inclusive All-Girls Club

Clinton comes home to Wellesley

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton reached out to the nation’s young women in an emotional return on Thursday to her alma mater, Wellesley College, where she told students who had started lining up at 6 a.m. to see her that “in so many ways this all-women’s college prepared me to compete in the all-boys’ club of presidential politics.”

But an all-men's college, club or association is sexist.

Susanna Medora Salter, first female city mayor elected in US, a Republican
Jeanette Rankin, first female elected to Congress, a Republican
Margaret Chase Smith, first female nominated for president of the United States, a Republican
Sandra Day O'Connor, first female justice of the Supreme Court, a Republican
Antonia Coello Novello, first female Surgeon General, a Republican
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen , first Hispanic woman elected to Congress, a Republican
Alice Wells, first female police office (LA), a Republican
Susan B. Anthony, a Republican
Estelle Reel, first woman elected to statewide office as Wyoming's Superintendent of Public Education, a Republican

Through women's rights and civil rights the Democrats have been all-inclusive only when it is beneficial to them at the polls. Otherwise, they're wimps.

Interesting Fact

St. Paul, Minnesota was originally called 'Pigs Eye'.

TV To Go Blank? Who Cares?

TV, movie writers say they will go on strike

And why would this be important to me?

Democrats Ally With Iran

Senators warn Bush has no authority on Iran

Thirty US senators wrote to President George W. Bush
Thursday, warning he had no authority to launch military
action
against Iran
, and expressing concern about the administration's
"provocative" rhetoric.


The senators, 29 Democrats and one independent, urged the
resolution of disputes with the Islamic Republic through diplomacy.


"We wish to emphasize that no congressional authority exists for
unilateral military action against Iran," the letter signed by senators
including presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Joseph Biden said.


The letter warned that a resolution passed by the Senate in
September, calling for the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a
terrorist group, should not be used as a pretext for war.

It hit out at "provocative statements and actions" by the administration on Iran, after Bush last month warned Tehran must be barred from nuclear weapons to avoid the prospect of "World War III."

"These comments are counterproductive and undermine efforts to
resolve tensions with Iran through diplomacy," the letter, coordinated by
Virginia Senator Jim Webb, said.


Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, a fierce critic of the
administration's policies, sent his own letter this week to Bush, reportedly
calling on him to open direct talks with Tehran.


His staff confirmed the letter had been sent, but declined to
release a copy.


I guess telling the truth is the same as "provocative statements and action". Actually the truth has always scared Democrats and terrified Liberals.

barACK Obama and JoJo Biden did not sign the letter having not received permission from their handlers. Chuckie Schumer when asked about the letter only said, "Mukasey who?" and wandered off.

Here are the 30 allies of Tehran.

Signed by: Akaka, Baucus, Boxer, Brown, Byrd, Cantwell, Carper, Casey, Clinton, Dodd, Dorgan, Durbin, Feinstein, Harkin, Johnson, Kerry, Klobuchar, Kohl, Leahy, McCaskill, Mikulski, Murray, Reed, Rockefeller, Sanders, Stabenow, Tester, Webb, Whitehouse, Wyden.

Chuck Hagel didn't sign because he had already sent a note concerning Iran to President Bush, but he did comment, "Nanni, nanni, poo, poo. I did it first", stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Pelosi's Congress Stinks, Bush's Fault

Even Pelosi is disappointed in Congress

Hours after touting the Democratic-controlled Congress' achievements at
a ceremony on the Capitol steps Thursday, Pelosi confessed that she would give
the legislative body low marks if a pollster asked her.


...

Not surprisingly, Pelosi said President Bush and his Republican allies
are mostly to blame. She noted that Bush has vetoed Democratic-led efforts to
wind down the war, expand a children's health program and broaden stem cell
research.


Later, at a self-promoted celebration of her life, Pelosi admitted her life really sucked and that it was everyone's fault, but hers, but especially George W. Bush's fault.

"Bastard" she muttered between cannolis and her diet Pepsi..

Fred Phelps, Hater, Loses Court Case

Fred Phelps Freaks Lose Big
via LGF

The brokenhearted father of a Marine killed in Iraq won a long-shot
legal fight today after a federal jury in Baltimore awarded him nearly $11
million in a verdict against members of a Kansas church who hoisted anti-gay
placards at his son’s Westminster funeral.


The jury’s announcement 24 hours after deliberations first began
was met with tears and hugs from the family and supporters of Lance Cpl. Matthew
Snyder, whose March 2006 funeral was protested by members of the Westboro
Baptist Church with signs including “Thank God for dead soldiers.”


Snyder’s father, Albert, won on every count of his complaint, as
well as $2.9 million for compensatory damages and $8 million for punitive
damages.


I hope this evil clown from Hell, Fred Phelps, is brought low to never rise again. He is a disgrace that uses God for his own importance and benefit. His family is no better.

I am very happy for this verdict and hope it stands.

God bless all our troops, living and dead, and their families.

And I Thought Hemorrhoids Caused Communism

Marx's erupting skin may have influenced writings

Karl Marx, who complained of excruciating boils, actually suffered
from a chronic skin disease with known psychological effects that may well have
influenced his writings, a British expert said on Tuesday.


Sam Shuster, professor of dermatology at the University of East
Anglia, believes the revolutionary thinker had hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in
which the apocrine sweat glands -- found mainly in the armpits and groin --
become blocked and inflamed.


"In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to
his depressing poverty, hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem," said
Shuster, who published his findings in the British Journal of
Dermatology.


"This explains his self-loathing and alienation, a response
reflected by the alienation Marx developed in his writing."


While HS is linked to boil-like lumps, the painful condition also
causes more widespread infection, swelling, skin thickening and
scarring.


It could also explain a number of Marx's other complaints, not
previously linked, such as joint pain and a painful eye condition which often
stopped him working.


Shuster based his diagnosis on an analysis of Marx's extensive
correspondence, in which he wrote to friends about his health and described his
skin lesions as "curs" and "swine."


"The bourgeoisie will remember my carbuncles until their dying
day," Marx told Friedrich Engels in a letter from 1867.


Marx, who died in 1883, was one of the most influential
philosophers of the 19th century and his radical writings formed the basis of
modern communism.


Who would have thought that ten's of millions would die and that many more would suffer because some loser had boils.

U.S. diplomats vent over forced Iraq duty

Several hundred U.S. diplomats vented anger and frustration Wednesday
about the State Department's decision to force foreign service officers to take
jobs in Iraq, with some likening it to a "potential death sentence."


...

"It's one thing if someone believes in what's going on over there and
volunteers, but it's another thing to send someone over there on a forced assignment
," Croddy said. "I'm sorry, but basically that's a potential death sentence and you know it. Who will raise our children if we are dead or
seriously wounded?"


His remarks were met with loud and sustained applause from the
approximately 300 diplomats at the meeting.
(emp. mine)

Fair weather friends who believe they should be able to choose their cruise. To quote the liberal kos, screw'em. They are government employees and they'll go where they're told.

If they don't like it or they don't support the administration, fire them.

Oh, and to you dippos, don't let the door hit you in the rear on your way out. Ta Ta.

UFO Boy Kucinich Questions Bush's Mental Health

Wackjob from Cleveland questions other's mental health.

Kucinich: Time to question Bush's mental health

Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D. Ohio) suggested today that President Bush's
comment about a nuclear Iran precipitating "World War III" is a sign of mental
instability.


"I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental
health,"


...

"There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If
there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us.
This, to me, is a very serious question."


More thoughts from the maestro of mischievousness:

Rep. Kucinich: "I'm from the universal-health-care wing of the Democratic
party. I'm from the Roe v. Wade-litmus-test wing of the Democratic party. I'm
from the abolish-the-death-penalty wing of the Democratic party ... I'm from the
gun-control wing of the Democratic party." (Tom Curry, "Kucinich Spices Up
The Race," MSNBC.com, 7/14/03)

In case you may not believe he is sincere in his moonbattery:

Rep. Kucinich: "We prepare for war so grandly; let us prepare for peace
grandly by looking fearlessly and deep into the hearts of those who wish us
harm, and find that spark of recognition that connects us to a common humanity
and from that draw a flicker of hope to enkindle the warm glow of peace." (Rep.
Dennis Kucinich, Congressional Record, 7/20/06, p. H5494)

The "warm glow of peace" is gonna stop terrorists..

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has seen a UFO,
writes Shirley MacLaine in her new book, "Sage-Ing While Age-Ing."


Kucinich, she writes on page143-144 of the book, "had a close sighting
over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there. Dennis found his
encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him. It hovered, soundless, for ten minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he
couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard
directions in his mind."


Directions in his mind? This from the boy that, as mayor, put Cleveland Ohio into bankruptcy and thought it would help the city financially to fire 1/2 the police and 1/2 the fire department protecting the citizens. Maybe Dennis can rekindle the warm glow of reality.

Nah.

Buffett's Reverse Pig Out At Tax Trough Through Desired Regurgitation

I should pay more tax, says US billionaire Warren Buffett

MEMO
TO: WARREN BUFFETT
FROM: mRed
RE: TAXES

If you feel the need to open your doddering mouth about taxes please do so in the privacy of your own world. I do not want to pay more taxes at any level including local, state and federal taxes nor do I want to pay more of their fees, services and other gimmicky ways government sucks money out of our pockets.

If you want to pay more taxes, fine, do so, but shut up about it. Now, liberals will puff out their chests and crow about how even a running dog capitalist pig such as you understands the need for more taxation, thus more taxes can and should be levied. Thanks for that Warren. You're a prince of a fellow.

Maybe we can pay a new tax for left handed lesbian nuns who play violins made by dyslexic dwarves from Steubenville.

End Of The World Anniversary

October 30




The radio play "The War of the Worlds," starring Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, panics some listeners who thought that the earth was being invaded from Mars. 1938

2007 - If Bush isn't impeached immediately, Mother Earth's head will explode taking all of us to a place of eternal pollution for our misdeeds instead of being alive with the great spirit of love and peace. In short: End of the world; Part II and just as real.

Anti War Sex Fun And Protest

You have to watch this. It is such a transparent grab for the past, using promises of fun, sex and feelings of self worth, if only you would go out and protest. It seems today's anti-war crowd needs a moral cialias to stand tall for a piece peace.



Farm out.

Please Spread This Concerning TNR

I can't say this any better than Jonn Lilyea from This Ain't Hell so I am just going to cut and paste. I hope that is okay because I am behind this 100%.

A point of honor

Filed under: Politics, Media, Society, Administrative — Jonn Lilyea @ 7:59 am
Last night I got an email from
Confederate Yankee who has often been running point on the Beauchamp/The New Republic story for the entire blogoshere. He asked me to support a boycott he was starting against The New Republic. Of course I said I would, then I fell asleep waiting for the Redskins to score. But I’m refreshed this morning and so so here’s the gist of the plan from CY;

We know that TNR allowed all three of Scott Beauchamp’s stories to be published without being competently fact-checked, if fact-checked at all.

We know that the editors of TNR, led by Franklin Foer, lied when they said that the stories had been competently fact-checked, we know they deceived their readers and misled at least one civilian expert in an attempt to create a whitewash of an investigation.

[…]

We know The New Republic attempted to stonewall their way through obvious, blatant, and grievous breaches of journalistic ethics. In so doing, they have attacked the service, integrity, and honor of an entire company of American soldiers serving in a combat zone to avoid taking responsibility for their own editorial and ethical failures.

I’d ask U.S. military veterans, military families, active duty personnel, and the vast majority of Americans who support our servicemen and women to call these companies, institutions and agencies to pull their advertising from TNR, effective immediately.

[…]

We cannot force The New Republic to behave honorably, but we can make their dishonesty come at a price.

I’m 100% behind this - Beauchamp has at least decided to rehabilitate himself, on the other hand, TNR hasn’t shown the least bit of remorse for their skullduggery.
Blackfive’s The Wolf and Chickenhawk Express are on board.

Please post this and also send it to others.

UPDATE: To Dean and others. I changed NPR to TNR for obvious reasons. Sorry if my freudian slip showed.

Gothic Mantel Soon To Be Shipped


Got this bad boy in my future as soon as the doctor okays lifting more than 5 measley pounds. Luckily, I got the wide plank pine flooring in before the slice and dice.
.
The floor is really cool, it started as a floor for a public house which after many years became a storage structure and shelter for sheep and cattle before becoming a print shop. I got the floor out just hours before the fire department used the structure for practice.

Dinner Twoof

When dining alone do not cook a piece of meat too heavy to lift as it may be too big to eat unless serving with a salad which tends to lighten a meal.
