Just Like Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman Has A Family

The environment is just too target rich for the likes of the Al Sharptons and the Jesse Jacksons of the world, especially when they smell blood money. Like sharks they won't wait for the facts, no, they will attack while the headlines are still warm with blood in the water. That's how they make headlines. That's how they make money. That's how they blackmail governments into making unnecessary laws. That's how they use people to get what they want.

A statement by George Zimmerman's father, a retired judge:


“The tragic events of February 26 are very sad for all concerned. The Martin family, our family, and the entire community have been forever changed.
The portrayal of George Zimmerman in the media, as well as the series of events that led to the tragic shooting are false and extremely misleading. Unfortunately, some individuals and organizations have used this tragedy to further their own causes and agendas.
George is a Spanish speaking minority with many black family members and friends. He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever. One black neighbor recently interviewed said she knew everything in the media was untrue and that she would trust George with her life. Another black neighbor said that George was the only one, black or white, who came and welcomed her to the community, offering any assistance he could provide. Recently, I met two black children George invited to a social event. I asked where they met George. They responded that he was their mentor. They said George visited them routinely, took them places, helped them, and taught them things and that they really loved George. The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth.
The events of February 26 reported in the media are also totally inaccurate. Out of respect for the on-going investigation, I will not discuss specifics. However, the media reports of the events are imaginary at best. At no time did George follow or confront Mr. Martin. When the true details of the event become public, and I hope that will be soon, everyone should be outraged by the treatment of George Zimmerman in the media.
Our entire family is deeply sorry for the loss of Trayvon. We pray for the Martin family daily. We also pray that the community will grieve together and not be divided by more unwarranted hate.
The Zimmerman family will have no further contact with the media prior to the resolution of the investigation. It would be greatly appreciated if the media would respect our privacy.”
If, according to liberals, minorities can't be racist which is a preposterous idea, George Zimmerman could not have committed racial profiling nor a hate crime given his background and racial makeup. 
What really happened? Hopefully we will see, but racists like the Sharptons, Jacksons and others who use race as a tool to gain power, make money and to get cheap headlines, will try their best to make sure the facts have nothing to do with the verdict.
George Zimmerman has a family too. Maybe he isn't racially acceptable to racists.

Time For Maher To Man Up Which May Be Impossible For Bill

From the NYT.

Maher’s Attacks on Women


To the Editor:
Re “Please Stop Apologizing,” by Bill Maher (Op-Ed, March 22):
We’re both women who have worked in Democratic politics and the media for decades and find Bill Maher’s misogynist treatment of women candidates deeply disturbing. Coincidentally we both hail from Alaska — where women are treated as equals — so perhaps our threshold for this kind of behavior is less than here in the Lower 48.
Mr. Maher has implicitly attempted to tie his own demeaning attacks on women to the unrelated issue of partisan-motivated fake outrage, which we agree is tiring. While others have been held to account for their sexism, Mr. Maher remains unrepentant for his attacks on women in public life.
How can we expect women to run for office when they are essentially told to “lighten up about” and accept misogynist attacks? The Women’s Media Center has found that such attacks on women candidates have a measurable negative effect on how voters view them.
Our message to Mr. Maher and his ilk is: Please start apologizing.

Tolerant Left Wants To Kill Limbaugh



Professors Against Free Speech


But the overflow crowd outside wasn’t able to hear many such remarks by Gingrich. As he began to speak, Led Zeppelin music began blaring from Blessey Hall next door. Prof. Johannesson admitted to The Daily Caller that the music was her doing.
“That fatass. … I don’t care if he comes to talk, but I don’t think I should have to listen.” As Gingrich emerged from the back of the Richardson Hall to leave, Johannesson cried, “Boo! Go home!”
Such a lovely lady who appears not to suffer from being a "fatass." On the other hand she feels it necessary to deprive others, those who agree with Gingrich and those that don't, the ability to hear what he has to say. Pretty normal for such elitist professors as opposed to real professors who search for all ideas to relate to their teaching. Her only redeeming quality is her taste in music.

Obama's Second Anniversary Of The Real Keystone Pipeline

Yeah! Obama has hit the jackpot. It's liquid gold flowing right into the coffers of the people's republic. Also, for a short time only, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Cheap! Not some stinking pipeline that will only produce billions of dollars, but the big enchilada, your money and your health all in one wondrous package of bureaucratic love and expertise worth trillions of dollars!

But Obama, just as he dumped his girlfriend Solyndra, seems to be walking a way from his big f'ing baby?  Babies, even big fat ones, are a staple of political campaigning. One could say that babies are a big deal in politics.

It's A Big F'ing Deal!

Oh, how convenient, he'll blame a Republican,Romney!

Just like everything this administration touches, it's a big f'ing deal because they are audacious!

Let me be audacious in a manner Obama and his ilk would like to be, if mommy nodded yes, let government take all the money, set the business and industrial schedules, tell people what they want and then deliver it. Free condoms in a "What, me worry?" world.

As ObamaCare's costs skyrocket (prelaunch) the real money maker isn't the Keystone Pipeline, but ObamaCare itself. It's not a money maker for the country nor the taxpayer, but for government which may nullify the old saw about government not being able to make money or jobs because government will now have all our money and be running all our jobs so who cares about old saws or, for that fact, old sawbones who did it all without a bureaucrat in sight.

Yeah, that's audacious. In a 1950 soviet republic kind of way, but audacious. That's Obama.

If The Bush Kids Were Public Figures Are Obama's?

The Hate Of The Left And Limbaugh Advertisers

"‘You hate women! You hate women! You hate women!’”



The Left shows their love of women by attacking women. They show their hate for Limbaugh by hating women. Make no mistake about this, they hate Limbaugh and have had this campaign against Limbaugh in the making for years. Now that the campaign has actually strengthened Limbaugh they are attacking the advertisers with threats and using harassment of the advertiser’s employees, including women, men, families and all that depend on income from the employer, to step up the pressure.

Liberals don't care if these people lose their jobs. I guess they think that if they will just get on the public dole. Like them.

Media Matters Of Al-Jazeera?



While Rosenberg called Fox News “a very, very dangerous force in the United States” and Fox News host Sean Hannity “one of the biggest right wing liars on Fox News” during the speech, he praised Al-Jazeera as “mainstream” and “factual.”

“It just shows that everywhere in the world people are watching Al-Jazeera because people know it’s going to be — one, it’s factual,” he said.

“It has footage, it has pictures which we are essentially not allowed to see in the United States, that the networks don’t allow of what is going on in Iraq, what’s going on in Afghanistan.”

Bizarrely, Rosenberg also claimed the left-of-center New Republic magazine, which regularly defends President Obama, was “very much of a right wing, Jewish publication.”

Media Matters also has a cheek to cheek relationship with the Obama Administration.


Apparently, the people at Media Matters take the term “investigative journalism” seriously — even if they misunderstand it.  According to a September 2009 e-mail obtained by Tucker Carlson at the Daily Caller, Media Matters Director of Media Relations Karl Frisch proposed to founder David Brock and MMFA president Eric Burns that the organization conduct a campaign to “embarrass and discredit” Fox News, which Frisch called the “enemy” which the progressive movement needed after winning the presidency and control of Congress.  Among the ideas Frisch proposed was hiring private investigators to dig up dirt on Fox News anchors and staff

Quite a group, MMFA, but which A? 

Apocalypse Then And Apocalypse Now





My Phone Still Ain't Ringing I Assume It Still Ain't You


You don’t know my telephone number, but I hope your staff is busy trying to find it. Ever since you called Sandra Fluke after Rush Limbaugh called her a slut, I figured I might be next.  You explained to reporters you called her because you were thinking of your two daughters, Malia and Sasha.  After all, you didn’t want them to think it was okay for men to treat them that way:
“One of the things I want them to do as they get older is engage in issues they care about, even ones I may not agree with them on,” you said.  “I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I don’t want them attacked or called horrible names because they’re being good citizens.”
And I totally agree your kids should be able to speak their minds and engage the culture.  I look forward to seeing what good things Malia and Sasha end up doing with their lives.
But here’s why I’m a little surprised my phone hasn’t rung.  Your $1,000,000 donor Bill Maher has said reprehensible things about my family.  He’s made fun of my brother because of his Down’s Syndrome. He’s said I was “f—-d so hard a baby fell out.”  (In a classy move, he did this while his producers put up the cover of my book, which tells about the forgiveness and redemption I’ve found in God after my past – very public — mistakes.)
If Maher talked about Malia and Sasha that way, you’d return his dirty money and the Secret Service would probably have to restrain you.  After all, I’ve always felt you understood my plight more than most because your mom was a teenager.  That’s why you stood up for me when you were campaigning against Sen. McCain and my mom — you said vicious attacks on me should be off limits.
Yet I wonder if the Presidency has changed you.  Now that you’re in office, it seems you’re only willing to defend certain women.  You’re only willing to take a moral stand when you know your liberal supporters will stand behind you.
But…
What if you did something radical and wildly unpopular with your base and took a stand against the denigration of all women… even if they’re just single moms? Even if they’re Republicans?
I’m not expecting your SuperPAC to return the money.  You’re going to need every dime to hang on to your presidency.  I’m not even really expecting a call.  But would it be too much to expect a little consistency?  After all, you’re President of all Americans, not just the liberals.

Ahem...



When you see a tree with a bunch of apples on it, the logical conclusion is that you are looking at an apple tree, right?

But what if you are looking at a political movement that claims to represent “the people,” yet constantly gets caught manufacturing the appearance of popular support?
That’s called an Astro-Turf tree and it’s found mainly - though not entirely -  on the Left, from the grassroots all the way to the nation’s capital. If you doubt me here, consider these recent stories:

·         A headline in the feisty New Hampshire Journal proclaims: “Dems caught staffing group posing as GOP-friendly gay marriage organization.”

Standing Up for Families, an activist group touted as Republican by the pro-gay marriage forces in the Granite State, is being staffed by folks from local and state Democratic committees.


That's only the half of it when you take into account the foot soldiers who pepper blog comments, Facebook etc., with coordinated lies, spin and off topic comments meant to focus on their central memes and in LTTE in national as well as small town newspapers, Twitter and electronic forums.

Potemkin? Maybe ongoing Levittowns of faux fronts like so many sets in a movie and just as real populated with Penn, Clooney and Angelica Huston.

Who Decides Which Is A White Supremacist Group?

The Left of course. Groups such SPLC and the Obama Gang. Oh, and my favorite terrorist, Bill Ayers! How sweet is that?



Also, probably any terrorist group with radical Islamic ties. How else could such an august body come together to decide which groups to fight....

Yep, those whiteys sure are dangerous. They were the bastards that brought freedom to the world. Can't have that, can we?

Maddow's View From The Curb

Rachael (you do know I am a Rhodes Scholar) Maddow has written a book. Who knew? She uses her rapier wit to belittle all the little men and women that protect our country as foolish and actually against the wishes of our founders who she selectively cites as well as taking quotes out of context. Of course that is so dog bites man.


Specks of War

Leon Wieseltier take on Maddow's book almost made it readable to me. At least his take confirmed mine and made me laugh out loud. Go read it. For you libs, don't worry, he doesn't use too many big words.

Has Rachael been kicked to the curb so often that she now enjoys it?

Oh My! When Will Science Be Settled?

Hundreds of thousands of doctors, educators and researchers receive their funding from one source. What could go wrong, especially when all these experts crow that science is king and all of the deniers are Luddites who are just shilling for a buck? Well, that single source of funding is government and to disagree will get you called all kinds of silly childish names because the vested interest is on their side. That side should not be erroneously considered "settled science", but settled group think.

Abortion And The Stupak Syndrom

Bart Stupak, fool, believed Obama which was his first mistake, but he doubled down on stupidity by caving and voted for ObamaCare making passage possible. I'm sure Madam Pelosi also turned her evil eye directly at him knowing the fool would cave. Everybody, but the fools in Congress who believed Obama knew the Executive Order was a lie.

In deal with Stupak, White Houseannounces executive order on abortion

It was a lie.


Now the Stupaks of the world will run around and say abortions will not be mandated because if a woman doesn't want one she doesn't have to have one. Or that nobody is being forced to pay for abortions. Or whatever lie they can think of.

ObamaCare is built on lies from top to bottom.

More Liberal Debate!



Republicans Running 3 "Cultists"

So says Chris Matthews who must still have the tingles.

“They’ve got three RCs, or two RCs- two Roman Catholics- running and a Mormon, so three cultists running, and they gotta pick one of the three cultists, as they see them.”

Chris is a Roman Catholic. 

Liberal Tolerance



Most liberal sites block me. Do I whine about it? No, it’s their site. OTOH, liberals are always whining about how mean conservatives are and how they’re afraid to debate when their rants get blocked. Of course they then all bleat about faux studies showing conservatives suffer from mental illness. Yep, they got a study for everything. Even studies and research that lie or don’t exist, but hey, you roll with what you got, eh?

Voter Fraud Exists, But Nobody Will Investigate Because Of The PC


VERMONT WANTS TO INVESTIGATE O'KEEFE, NOT VOTER FRAUD


I've personally witnessed this type of activity in countless elections as well as other types of ballot tampering such as flooding the polls in small communities by university students who are watched by professors and absentee ballots filled out by nursing home workers, but most times when I challenged a ballot I lost the appeal because there "was no fraud intended." Even by the dead people who haven't missed an election in 120 years.

And the really cool thing about Liberals is they can’t add nor subtract!

NY Suicide Caucus Votes Down Cuomo Pension Reform


No matter, even religious institutions will have FREE contraceptives and abortion pills whether they want them or not. The fact that they feel it is a mortal sin isn’t relevant because to Liberals religion is bunk and shouldn’t be tolerated in their diverse world of tolerance and loving care. Not so for babies, but everyone will get everything for FREE!

OH St Sen Nina Turner Wants To Make Hard Men Soft To Help Stop Abortions

Using a back door method to stop abortions Sen Turner wants men to go through an invasive process she says resembles what Republicans are making women go through to get an abortion. And she's pretty tongue in cheek about it.


Part of a trend, she likens the bill to men legislating ‘a woman’s womb.’

This, in an effort to make men think about women's rights, basically is an attempt to put men in their place using sarcasm. That place seems to be at the back of the bus, but if women want to get paid to have sex then the subject of what they are is settled and now all we're negotiating is the price.

Resister Updates: Pain for MareZilla

via An Ex Cons View


This is an update for everyone who has been following my health issues. I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a confusing mess, but the nightmare I am living is complicated, hard to explain, and I am trying to do this through excruciating pain which makes it hard to focus – but I want those of you who are interested to know what’s been going on with me, and I hope that if there someone is suffering something similar, that they may find something helpful in this post and maybe realize that they are not alone.

The House Controls The Purse

























The vaunted "Clinton Surplus" was, in fact, the work of a GOP House that was willing to fight for fiscal sanity (current Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of the architects of the surplus); in addition, two events conspired toturbocharge the economy -- in spite of Clinton, not because of him.

• Liberals like to talk about Reagan's deficits, but they ignore the fact that every budget Reagan ever sent to the Democrat-controlled House was declared "dead on arrival". Reagan supported a Balanced Budget Amendment, sought to eliminate useless agencies like the Department of Education, and otherwise believed in the U.S. spending within its means.

• Since the Democrats took control of Congress in 2007, they have jammed through the most fiscally irresponsible spending programs in world history (I won't use the word "budget", because they've refused to propose a budget for roughly 1,029 days).

Lefty Hate Focuses On Tornado Victims


MIKE MALLOY (04:56): They keep being killed, you know, their God, if this is where they want to look at it, keeps smashing them into little grease spots on the pavement in - uh - uh - in - in, you know, in Alabama and Mississippi and Arkansas and uh Georgia and, uh, Oklahoma, you know, the Bible Belt. [imitates "preacher" voice] 'Where they ain't going to let no goddamn science get in the way - it says in the Bible, blah blah blah blah blah!

So, according to their way of thinking, you know, God, with his omnipotent thumb, reaches down here tonight and so far tonight has smashed about 20 people into a grease spot on Highway 12 or whatever the hell highway they live next to. It's sad, it's so sad for this kind of nonsense.

But we'll have free abortion pills and contraceptives that we'll be forced to pay for. I'm pretty sure I won't need them, but gosh do I feel better already. I've got that. For free.

I Am So Sick Of This Cowboy President



Frankly, I’m sick of this cowboy president who struts his testosterone with statements like, “I don’t bluff.” Hell, when you’ve got a standing army and secret service guys protecting you it’s easy being a loudmouth. He gets a thrill out killing people, shooting missiles and drones and acting like a war criminal. He keeps possibly innocent people in an illegal prison at Guantanamo, targets peaceful mosques with belligerent acts and then tries to hide behind his lawyers. He has all of his rich pals to give him money and special deals to make him even richer as his wife lords over the White House like some queen. And then they go to hang out with their elite friends in their fancy resort houses eating and drinking like royalty and forget how much people are hurting. I’m so damned tired of Bush and his cronies I could puke. Oh, wait…

Breitbart: That's What I'm Talking About

AGW: Another One Bites The Dust. In Fact Many Anothers.

The Galileo of Global Warming

I have written before about how the left loves to invoke the example of Galileo in order to present themselves as the great defenders of science against all of those knuckle-dragging religious bigots who don't believe in global warming. But these same people don't understand science very well themselves (remember amateur neurologist Janeane Garofalo lecturing us about the "limbic brain"?), so they end up using Galileo, a man who defied the "consensus" of his day, as a propaganda talking point to enforce the consensus of today.
It occurred to me a while back that there is something worse about this invocation of Galileo, because there is a modern-day equivalent to Galileo, specifically on the issue of global warming—and he's on the other side. In this more civilized age, he is thankfully not threatened with torture or any kind of persecution. But he is a pioneer of new and important scientific truths who is being ignored and vilified because his discoveries run counter to the quasi-religious dogma of our day.

All the believers believe themselves some science, eh? Of course they’ll smugly point out that these are all old farts thus not believable because they don’t have a precious apple on the desk.

Left: Breitbart Is Dead, May He Rot In Hell

Strange, because most libs don't believe in God, heaven or hell, but maybe they have had an Epiphany because it seems they are all saying "rot in hell" in unison. If they're finally believing in Hell then maybe they'll start acting in a way that might get them into Heaven.

Nice of them to notice though. Strengthens Breitbart's position on modern liberalism.

Whores Calling For Abstinence



Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) said in a letter to Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority General Manager Richard Sales that the ad "does not belong" in the capital region's transportation system because it is "deeply disrespectful to the President of the United States." 

Jim Moran preaching respect is like a whore preaching abstinence.
