Ron Paul’s Racist Newsletters Indicative of…Racism. Duh!

“Through it all though, Ron Paul was a constant.  He kept plugging away, first at the center of the paleo strategy as evidenced by the newsletters.  To be clear, I am quite certain he did not write them.  There is little doubt that they were written by Rockwell and Rothbard.  People I know who were on the inside at the time confirm it and the style matches pretty well to those two and does not match to Ron Paul.  Paul knows who wrote them too, but he’s protecting his long-time friend and advisor, unfortunately.  And even more sadly, Rockwell doesn’t have the guts to confess and end this whole megillah.  So although I don’t think Ron Paul is a racist, like Archie Bunker, he was willing to, metaphorically, toast a marshmallow on the cross others were burning.”

Ron Paul is an ass.  I like a lot of what he has to say about pure economic theory, but the ookie racism and conspiracy theories that go along with Paul make him unacceptable as a candidate.

Steve Horowitz doesn’t think Paul is a racist.  I do.

Here’s why: Paul profited from these newsletters.  Paul’s name was on the byline.  Paul was the reason these newsletters were published.  These newsletters were Paul’s vehicle to peddle his influence.  That Paul allowed racist thought to be so deeply ingrained into his newsletters is a very clear sign that the racism didn’t bother him.  He did not find it repugnant enough to stop it.  That points to Paul’s own racism.

If Paul isn’t a racist and didn’t pay close attention to what was being published in his own name means something else – he is entirely too stupid and too careless to ever be trusted with the responsibilities of the position of President of the United States.

Since Ron Paul is a doctor, I am assuming he isn’t stupid and does pay attention to detail.  Therefore, I can only conclude that he is a racist. 

Also, Mr. Horowitz, Archie Bunker was a racist too.  That was part of the whole plot, to watch a racist confronted with the humanity of the people he hated.  Holding repugnant values doesn’t necessarily make a person wholly repugnant.  Archie was likable because he learned to value people despite his racism and antisemitism.

Newt’s Pearl of Great Price

Newt Gingrich has a mouth problem.  A huge mouth problem.

“Newt and I agreed that the analogy is December 1941,” campaign director Michael Krull wrote on the Gingrich Facebook page. “We have experienced an unexpected set-back, but we will re-group and re-focus with increased determination, commitment and positive action. Throughout the next months there will be ups and downs; there will be successes and failures; there will be easy victories and difficult days – but in the end we will stand victorious.”

This is why Newt Gingrich should NOT be considered for POTUS.  We do not need another 4 years of overblown self aggrandizement and ridiculousness.  He’s so deeply wrong on so many levels in the above analogy and he’s so out of touch with reality that he didn’t instantly see the issue.  After four years of the 4th greatest presidency ever! our country can not handle 4 more years of a self indulgent academic with delusions of significance.

Russian Pwns OWS Bonehead

Really doesn’t need a lot of commentary. But…

That woman…”All the workers in NK get paid.” Well, maybe that’s true.  All the workers in the US get paid too.  But the catch is that if you don’t work in the US there is aide.  In NK if you don’t work there are internment camps and gulags for you to work for the state for free.  Usually that work is to hurry up and die.

As Libyans Celebrate Kadaffy’s Death, Al Jazeera Reporter Worries About Guns

I’m thrilled for the people of Libya, free from the madman of Africa I hope they can move forward into Democracy and freedom.  I hope.

Meanwhile, watch the report above – this ridiculous reporter is very concerned that all these suddenly free Libyans put aside the means of gaining their freedom – their guns.  He obviously believes they should all be locked up away from these newly free people.

Dummy.  The last thing these people need is to face a new and unknown government unarmed.  The BEST way for these people to remain free is to KEEP their guns.

This is NOT What Democracy Looks Like

“John Lewis is not better than anyone!!!!”

“Democracy Won!!!”

WHAT?  This is some insane crazy I don’t even know.  It’s like watching a group of people give their minds and souls away to a cult.  The repeating thing they are doing is creepy as hell.  WTF is that? If you are repeating words you aren’t thinking about them.  You’re too busy keeping up rather than analyzing what’s being said.

So John Lewis isn’t better than anyone else.   Okaaaay.  We know that.  He may have through experience have gained insight and perspective that makes him worthy of a listen.  Is he better?  No, just older and wiser, hopefully.  He’s got something called “Value Added”. Also, he’s probably less smelly too.

This isn’t democracy.  This is mobbery.

Also, just a note for all these “this is what democracy looks like” people, pure democracy is a failure every time it’s tried in groups larger than five.  There is a reason we are a Republic.  That would take reading, understanding, thought to comprehend.

Their list of demands is childish and simplistically stupid.  They seem to expect everyone else to pay for their fantasy life in imaginary no-borders land.  Good luck with that.

Certainly more thought than this idiot shitting on a cop car has taken, probably ever in his life.

This is what nasty looks like.

Also, those are Nikes Crapping Man is wearing.  Just pointing out that evil capitalist corporation’s logo on his spendy-ass footwear.  Hopefully he also crapped on them.

Dear Facebook

I hate you.  I really, really hate you.

Stop changing stuff every month.  My father tries to use Facebook to stay in touch with his big family.  He’s already struggling with the whole computer thing, he’s 82, it’s not his favorite.

But you Facebook idiots are making it too difficult for him to keep up with all the changes.  He doesn’t have time to get used to the last changes before you are rearranging everything.

I’m about to quit you.  You and Netflix.  STOP IT!!!  Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

This. We Hates It, Precious!

 

 

Maybe it’s because I live in DC I’m inundated endlessly with lobbyists efforts to influence the Congress.  Needless to say, ALL the time with the nonstop creepy commercials with the serious music and the declarations of doom descending if this or that bill is passed/not passed.  Relentless.  And deeply annoying.

And then this advert started running.  I HATE this stuff, but this ad in particular make me very, very ragey in a white hot heat of 10,000 suns hatey hate.  This ad pisses me off.  With the out of side suffering infant coughing and gagging and struggling to breathe, this makes me angry.

Just not the way the advert wants me to be angry.  I HATE the manipulation in this ad.  I hate it.  There is no science in this ad, what exactly is it we are supposed to prevent? Who wants to poison babies? ARGH!!!! This ad just wants to make you upset about sick babies, left unable to think straight.  This is propaganda.

Okay, I feel better.

I Hope There Was Vodka

In that Kool-Aide Debbie Wasserman Schultz was drinking when she said that Weiner’s old district in Queens and Brooklyn was a “difficult district for Democrats” and that was why a Republican won last night.

NY 9 is a district that hasn’t sent a Republican to Washington since the 1920s.  How was this “difficult”? They have a 3 to 1 advantage in registered voters.  This should have been a cake walk for the Democrats.

Honestly, if NY 9 is difficult I think Scott Brown’s reelection is certain and that we will have a 100% Republican Congress and White House and the Senate will be well on the way.

Anyway, I really hope there was tasty vodka in that kool aide Miz Debbie is drinking, because if she’s sober saying that she has some tickets to buy on the clue bus.  I’m not sure she can afford as many as she needs.

A Mighty Fortress Is My God

Ten years ago today my now dead mother called me and through tears insisted I turn on the TV to see what was happening.  She couldn’t explain, it was too much.

I did turn on the TV and understood right away that someone had declared war on us.  We had been sucker punched.

I watched as the Pentagon was hit.

I knew people in both the World Trade Center in New York and in the Pentagon.

I was driving to work when the first tower fell.  I was at work watching when the second one fell. I left work and went home to be with friends, I was no good to anyone.

Then I learned that another plane had crashed in a field.

Then I learned that my nephew had been born safely, that he was healthy and my sister was well.

That day rolled on for a millennium. As Rudy Gulliani said of the number of dead, it was more than we can bear.

In the ten years since that awful joyful day many things have happened, all of which we have borne.  We have opened multiple fronts on a war on Al Qaida and it’s minions and allies. Many people have died.  I have many more nieces and nephews.  My daughter came of age and is back in my life, now grown and married with children.

September 11th will remain a day to remember an atrocity committed against us.  As December 7th has remained a day that will live in infamy, though fewer people remember the day well.

September 11th is also my nephew’s birthday.  Now I’ve got a new nephew in law who also shares that day.

I will NEVER forget what happened on September 11th, 2001, we would be beyond stupid to attempt to forget that a bunch of madmen burning up with a mad 9th century dream of world domination have attacked us again and again. We forget to our deadly peril.

However, this is just a day. It is good to remember why we are at war. But it is also good to live, celebrate life, enjoy it, cuddle up and suckle it for all it is worth.

The Sunday that followed that horrific Tuesday in 2001 we sang an old hymn that still comforts me and encourages me. As a Christian, I understand that our foe is not just flesh and blood.  We are at war and under attack every day.  That war has been raging since before time.

A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing;
Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe -
His craft and pow’r are great, And armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he -
Lord Sabbaoth His name, From age to age the same -
And He must win the battle.

And tho this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph thru us.
The prince of darkness grim – We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure -
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly pow’rs – No thanks to them – abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours Thru Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also;
The body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.

Come on, Irene

Yeah, I know, obvious.  But you must admit, as a child of the 80′s, I had to go there.

We’ve got a lovely backyard, there are flowers, gardens and trees.  Over the years we’ve had numerous trees fall in the yard, especially those pesky and brittle Bradford Pears.  Lovely trees, but so brittle they do little other than grow quickly and break.

At the end of our patio is a little circular area that has long been the spot.  It’s nearly always 10 degrees cooler than anywhere else in the yard, thanks in large part to an enormous pine tree we’ve had back there for ages.  It’s been there for 30 + years.

And now, it is no more.

That’s back on the park side.

I also lost my awesome sunflowers:

Here it is in brighter sunlight:

I am deeply thankful that we lost nothing else besides the tree.  The concrete pad is damaged, but it was already cracked and now it’s more cracked.

So far we’ve talked to Comcast, Park & Planning and Liberty Mutual.

The consensus amoung everyone is that we can’t get it off the wires.  However, once it’s down we can deal with it, no problem.  Easy peasy.

I did find something someone lost in the park, I assume it was blown to this spot.  So, if you lost this item, please come get it.  Pictured below.


Please come pick your crap up, you nasty person.  Sheesh.  Friends with benefits don’t let friends with benefits drop their bodily fluid laden used condoms in a FRICKIN KIDDIE PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Other than that, it’s all good.
