Ah, progress

Or in this case, lack thereof.  Seems that the property seized by the city of New London, Connecticut for use by Pfizer in the landmark Supreme Court case that decided private land could be seized by the government and given to other private developers, if the city determines there was "blight"...even when there wasn't.

The worst part is, now, after so many years...the land is still vacant.

The city has seized the land, razed the home, and set aside the land for Pfizer, who has closed their operations in New London.

Be a whore to a corporation and the only thing you end up getting is screwed.

LOL

And this one....

Media malpractice

More malpractice from the media:  Attacks on Rush Limbaugh, who is part of a group that wants to purchase the St. Louis Rams have been a regular item on MSNBC, but since they have about 10 viewers world-wide, it's not really an issue that they use outright falsehoods upon which to base their attacks.  However, other media outlets are now picking them up which are based upon quotes attributed to him, which have long since been debunked as 100% false.  Of course, Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, who are pure race-baiting charlatans, making their millions (yes, millions) on the blackmail of American companies, threatening to strike or boycott or hold a press conference in front of their headquarters, have picked these attacks up and added to them.

Good to know that the media is as incompetent and lazy as the Dimwitocrats that they support.

Just to set the record straight, the racist quotes that I'll not repeat here because they don't need to be repeated, have NOT been quotes from Rush Limbaugh, but rather they were made up by some idiot who wrote a book that probably sold about 100 copies or so, and probably all in Berkeley CA.  They've long since been de-bunked and no one has EVER been able to come up with any quotes, sound-bites, or actual REAL evidence of Rush making racist statements.  Pretty difficult to do, since the guy broadcasts a 3 hour radio show 5 days a week and has for going on about 22 years now.  Plus speeches, public appearances and a short running TV show, and you can't find ANYTHING to bust him on?  You have to make stuff up?

Thanks to Erick at Redstate.com, here's some actual, attributed, well-sourced quotes from folks who are actually racists:

THE TOTALLY REAL AND NOT FAKE QUOTES SHENANIGANZA TOP TEN
10. Democrat Fritz Hollings of South Carolina thinks being from Africa makes you a cannibal: "You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."
9. Howard Dean reaches out: "I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks."
8. California Democrat Diane Watson thinks interracial marriage is icky: "He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black."
7. Howard Dean thinks service positions are for minorities, not big fancy white people: "You think the Republican National Committee could get this many people of color in a single room? ... Only if they had the hotel staff in here."
6. Joe Biden explains why southern Democrats should vote for him: "My state was a slave state."
5. "Conscience of the Senate" and former Klansman Robert Byrd on equal opportunity: "I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.
4. Hillary Clinton does an impression (complete with accent) of an African-American man who didn't know what Emily's List was: "She's supportin' all these people. She's supportin' Sen. Dianne Feinstein . She's supported Sen. Barbara Boxer . . . She supported everybody. Why won't she support me?"
3. Democratic Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin denies that white people might live in New Orleans: "I don't care what people are saying Uptown or wherever they are. This city will be chocolate at the end of the day.""
2. Democrat Steny Hoyer reviews Michael Steele's career: "[He has] a career of slavishly supporting the Republican Party."
1. Then Senator Joe Biden fills us in on who works at convenience stores: "You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent ... I'm not joking."

Nobel Crackhead prize

Apparently the folks on the Nobel Prize committee are passing the crack-pipe pretty heavily.  See, The Obamessiah hadn't even been in office two weeks before the deadline for nomination, and YET, he did enough in that two weeks and the time during his campaign to warrant the award.

I'm not sure exactly what the hell he did exactly, other than a helluval lot of lying, but it seems that was enough.

However, in honor of this awarding to only the 3rd sitting US president, let's take a look at the elite company he's keeping  (Stolen from this blog, posted 10/13/2006 11:31:00 AM ):

Yassir Arafat: This would be the man who diverted billions of dollars into his own Swiss bank accounts that was intended for the Palestinian people. Not only that, but the money that DID happen to get to them, was siphoned off by Hamas, the PLO, Hizbullah, and al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade to be used to kill Israeli's among others. Yep, he deserved the award.

Mikhail Gorbachev: While Gorby was being bitchslapped by Reagan at Reykjavik, he still had the KGB torturing and killing civilians during his rule. He also kept the Afghan war going for longer and was the first Soviet leader to send troops to Chechnya. He also threatened to squash any revolutions in the Soviet bloc, although by that time, he lacked any power to actually do it.

Jimmy Carter: While never really having been responsible for wars directly, Jimmuh is fully responsible for the beginning of the latest wave of Islamic facism by not stepping up and siding with the Shah of Iran. He may have been a dictator, but he was OUR dictator, and a helluva lot better than the guys who followed, one of which is now pursuing nukes and leading the country. He's sided with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Augusto Pinochet, Ferdinand Marcos, Manuel Noriega and others...all brutal dictators in their various countries. But yeah, his interests are peace.

Kofi Annan: Kofi has presided over what can only be described as the largest scandal in the history of the world, but yet, it never made the mainstream media. The oil for food scandal, where various bureaucrats were paid off, or were able to buy and resell items to Saddam Hussein is in the billions of dollars, but has it been on the front page of the NY Slimes? Washington Post? Nah.

We also have Al 'I never met a private jet I didn't like' Gore, whose jetting around the world telling people not to jet around the world seems to be a bit hypocritical to me, but I could be wrong. Here's a guy who apparently thinks that while it's ok for him to eat enough food to feed a small country, but yet needs to tell farmers to stop using pesticides and insecticides because they pollute the land. Al, if they stop, there won't be enough food for you AND the rest of the world,

So, all told, I guess this was a pretty appropriate award after all, lumping The Obamessiah in with criminals and con-artists.

Obama's dream citizen

Detroit citizens lined up to apply for stimulus money without any sort of knowledge of what the money was truly for yesterday.  Some had the mistaken thought that they were going to get a $3,000 stimulus check, which obviously not correct.  Ken Rogulski, from the local ABC radio affiliate, WJR, interviewed a woman who was obviously well versed on how the government works:

Ken Rogulski, Channel 4 WJR News

ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?

WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.

ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you're getting?

WOMAN: No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call.

ROGULSKI: Where's the money coming from?

WOMAN: I believe it's coming from the City of Detroit or the state.

ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?

WOMAN: Some funds that was forgiven (sic) by Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?

WOMAN: Obama getting the funds from... Ummm, I have no idea, to tell you the truth. He's the president.

ROGULSKI: In downtown Detroit, Ken Rogulski, WJR News

Liberals ok with sex with children?

Whoopi Goldberg came to the defense of Roman Polanski, who in 1977 raped had sex with a 13 year old girl after giving her alcohol and drugs.  He was recently arrested in Switzerland and is being extradited to the US to face the indictment that has been outstanding in the US since 1978.  Whoopi said that what Polanski did was not "rape rape", establishing apparent different levels of rape within the crime.  So, would Whoopi be ok with Mr. Polanski living with her and her 14 year old?  Uh:  "We're a different kind of society, we see things differently ... would I want my 14-year-old having sex with somebody? Not necessarily, no."  So, as long as it's someone else's kid, it's not rape-rape.

And then we have the case of Kevin Jennings, President Obamessiah's safe school czar (there's an irony if I've ever heard one), unapologetically encouraged a homosexual relationship between a fifteen year old boy and much older man who, the boy reported to Jennings, picked the boy up in a bus station bathroom and promptly took the boy home.  Jennings threatened to sue another teacher for libel who called his failure to report the statutory rape, unethical.

Why isn't this being reported in the major media?  Yes, it's all corporatized media, but let's face it, protecting the Obamessiah seems to be their cause, rather than exposing his appointments as the frauds, charlatans and snake-oil salesmen that they are.  Look at it this way, were this a Bush appointment, do you think that NBC, CBS, ABC, and pMSNBC would have completely ignored this story?

Yeah, I didn't think so.  No wonder the Obama administration is ok with a newspaper bailout.  It's not like the government doesn't already own them anyway.

The audio is pretty mushy, but you can hear it if you listen:

Obama in Afghanistan

I wonder if any of these guys get how ironic their comments are today.  Barack Obama said that he would consult his generals and trust their advice during the election.  Now that he's on the hook for it, he wants to reevaluate the recommendations of his generals, despite his previous statements.  And he's afraid that his hard-left supporters are going to leave him if he puts 40k troops on the ground.

Senator Boxer - condescending? Only a lot.

Chicks with Guns

And while that thought in and of itself is a pleasant one, the bill they're talking about....not so much:

Apparently, I'm a racist....

At least according to Jimmuh Carter, the smartest man ever to hold the presidency, because I oppose ObamaCare, I am a racist.  Those of us who don't want to see our government grow any larger and control any more of the economy than it already does, we're racists because we're disagreeing with something that a black man has presented. Since I disagreed with Colin Powell's advice to President HW Bush to NOT decimate the Iraqi army and go into Iraq in 1991 during Desert Storm, that must also prove I'm a racist.  Additionally, just to make sure that we cover all the bases, my best friend, who is Puerto Rican, loves Notre Dame, and wouldn't piss on a Domer (Golden Domer...Notre Dame student/fan) if they were on fire...I must be a racist.

But what about all those left-wing anti-war types who disagreed with Condoleeza Rice's assertions that we needed to be in Iraq and that we were doing the right thing?  Are they NOT racists because the face of the decision-making was President Bush?  They consistently argue that W was an idiot and his advisors were doing all the decision making, so essentially, Secretary Rice was making the decisions, so are they racist for disagreeing with her?
How about Teddy Kennedy?  Was he a racist for nearly submarining the nomination of Clarence Thomas?  He didn't have the intellectual firepower to disagree with Justice Thomas' opinions, so he had to attack him on a personal level.  Wouldn't that smell of racism far more than those of us who are opposed to President Obama's plan based upon actual facts?

What bothers me the most is that these idiots who use the term 'racist' at every turn, take away the power that the word used to have.  It used to be, if someone was declared a racist, it was because they either wore those hated white sheets or could have easily fit into them.  He or she had no issue with the declaration that one race was superior to another either by words or actions.  However, with the use of the word reduced to an everyday accusation, it loses its power.  It's a lot like the 'f' word.  When you hear Eddie Murphy or George Carlin use it, it's almost like just another word.  But when Jerry Seinfeld uses it, everyone stops and is agape.

I think essentially, these people who pretend to be concerned about racism, are essentially hurting their own efforts by throwing out that word for every single situation where a person of one race disagrees with a person of another.  That's not racist, that's being a human being.  We don't all agree and we shouldn't.

Dictionary definition of a racist is someone who believes that one race is superior or inferior to another.  Notice, it does not identify the racist as having to be white, despite what the mainstream media reports.

'CZAR' Sunstein Once Step Closer to Gun Control

Gun Owners and Supporters of the Second Amendment:

An inept, inexperienced and dangerous Obama White House actively skips around the safe guards for cabinet positions with its "CZAR" appointments. It has nominated embattled Harvard University law professor Cass R. Sunstein as the president's nominee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. Sunstein misfired one time too many in public statements and once again another Obama CZAR is suffering from self inflicted wounds.

A videotape has surfaced of a lecture Mr. Sunstein gave on Oct. 23, 2007. Here is what he said: "My coming view is that the individual right to bear arms reflects the success of an extremely aggressive and resourceful social movement and has much less to do with good standard legal arguments than [it] appears."

Discussing the anti-gun laws in the District of Columbia, he said a critic of such strict gun control would say that a "trigger lock interferes with his efforts at self-defense against criminals. What on Earth does that have to do with the Second Amendment as originally understood?"

Discussing the anti-gun laws in the District of Columbia, he said a critic of such strict gun control would say that a "trigger lock interferes with his efforts at self-defense against criminals. What on Earth does that have to do with the Second Amendment as originally understood?"

Mr. Sunstein has been assuring Second Amendment advocates, including key Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, that he strongly believes the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms.

There's no wiggle room in that statement, and Sen. Chambliss dropped his hold on the nomination based on Mr. Sunstein's assurances. But it turns out that the professor has held a certain contempt for the very viewpoint he suddenly claims to espouse.

Sunstein said, "My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears - not a reading of civic-centered founding debates."

Sunstein's overt hostility to the idea that the Constitution protects an individual's right to bear arms, including self-defense, is outrageous. This is clearly part of an Obama Gun Attack Plan by somebody whose job might entail weighing in on the value of anti-gun regulations. It makes his personal assurances that he is a Second Amendment supporter completely disingenuous.

The anti-gun Obama White House is hiding Sunstein's extreme view on gun control and will likely continue to inexplicably stand by him.

Is this just another amateurish mistake by an immature White House that is yet to get weaned or part of the Anti-Gun agenda that Obama lied about during the campaign? Presidential candidate, Obama deliberately and repeatedly lied to America's 90 million gun owners across the country when he insisted that he would not try to take away anyone's firearms? Not hardly and CCRKBA has been sounding the alarm for a year and this appointment expands the Obama gun attack plan.

Attorney General Holder Revealed The Obama Gun Attack Plan Lie

Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder revealed the President's plan to seek to reinstate the ban on semi-automatic firearms and said Obama "knew he was lying to the nation because his own website touted his plan to revive the gun ban and make it permanent."

CCRKBA warned America that Obama's 'support' for the Second Amendment was empty rhetoric. Holder's disclosure has confirmed it. Obama was lying, and now gun rights may be dying.

Lies Prove "CZAR's" Don't Fall Far From the Presidential Tree

Mr. Sunstein said, "My tentative suggestion is that the individual right to have guns as it's being conceptualized now is best taken as a contemporary creation and a reflection of current fears - not a reading of civic-centered founding debates."

Mr. Sunstein's overt hostility to the idea that the Constitution protects an individual right to bear arms, including for purposes of self-defense, is not something that should be welcomed from somebody whose job might entail weighing in on the value of anti-gun regulations. It also makes his more recent assurances that he is a Second Amendment stalwart seem rather disingenuous, at the very least.

This sounds just Obama's friend Van Jones when he flatly said in his statement that he did not agree with reports about him and said "it certainly does not reflect my views, now or ever." What is this straight out of the Obama White House play book on how to deny your past?

Remember

Eight years ago, I was sitting in my office when my friend and co-worker, Sandy came into my office and said "They're saying a plane ran into the World Trade Center"...Immediately my mind went to some idiot in a two-seater Cessna, taking their friend on a tour of Manhattan, losing control and running into the building.  I didn't pay any more attention until she came in and said it was a big plane.  I went to CNN.com and saw the initial pictures of the smoke and fire and thought "How the heck does a commercial airliner hit the biggest building in Manhattan?".  After the second crash, it was obvious to everyone that it was a planned attack.

Emotions in the plant where I worked were pretty high that day and people left early to go home to be with their families.  People suggested that we give blood, if for no other reason but to feel like you're making a difference.  Being far away from the tragedy made us all feel like we had to do something, but none of us had any idea what to do.  So many went to church to pray and fellowship.  Still others found other methods of giving back and joined the military.  I personally called the prior-service recruiter that I knew and asked what I had to do in order to get back in my beloved Corps and get back to blowing things up.  Paperwork was drawn up and I was ready to go.  Then I talked to my wife, who convinced me that it was time to let go, for the younger guys to do this and my responsibilities at home precluded any overseas service.

My daughter, who was five at the time, didn't really understand what was going on (for that matter most of the adults didn't either) but asked poignant questions:  "Why would they kill people they don't know?", "Why do they hate America?", "Do you think there were any kids on those planes or in that building?".
It was tough to answer her without getting angry or choked up, knowing that her heart was breaking for those people.  For a long time, my kids didn't like me travelling for work, for fear that someone would run the plane into a building again.  I assured them every time that if anyone tried to run a plane into a building that I was on, it would be the worst decision they'd ever made.

But for a short time, we were all Americans.  White, black, hispanic, gay, straight, woman, man, liberal, conservative...it didn't matter.  We all felt the pang in our hearts and knew that we'd been attacked for our beliefs.  Beliefs that made these murdering scumbags hate us.  Freedom, individual liberties, and equality.  Women allowed to work, be successful, make their own choices.  Anyone of any religion can be successful, and have the freedom to make their own choices, not tied to the commands of a religious leader.  These freaks didn't realize that no matter how many buildings they destroy, they'd never change that.  We're America.  We don't care about buildings.  Knock one down, we'll build another one in its place, twice as big and just as bad-ass, because that's what we do.  We just perservere, we just work, we just keep going.  And we remember.

Remember.

Testify brother

Congressman Joe Wilson caused a bit of a stir in the Capital building last night, calling President Obamessiah a liar on national TV during his national 'come to Jesus' meeting about national healthcare reform. This outburst was shortly after President Obamessiah stated that his plan would not allow illegal aliens free access to healthcare (oh, kinda like they already have in ERs everywhere?).
Immediately, news outlets everywhere jumped on the back of Wilson, calling his outburst "unacceptable","inappropriate", and I'm sure much worse in the nutroots blogosphere of the left.

Of course, these news outlets didn't bother to examine the actual bill that is currently being presented that has absolutely no identification requirements that prove that the recipient of the healthcare is a citizen. In fact, some areas of it work to obscure the person's citizenship.

Once again, instead of accepting the pablum fed to you by the puppet-media, think for yourself.

"Who controls the past now controls the future
Who controls the present now controls the past

Funny that Rage Against the Machine wrote that about the Bush administration, but it's oh so much more appropriate for this administration.

Everybody SING!

It's funny because it's true.....It's also sad as hell.

Saving Healthcare

ABC and NBC have refused to air this advertisement. Think they would have refused money from George Soros or Code Pink to air an ad against anything that George Bush proposed?

Yeah, not in a million years.

Funny thing is, this is actually a pretty tame ad. It doesn't get even close to telling all the negative things that would happen if Obamacare passes.

RIP Ted Kennedy

While it was safe to say that no matter what Ted was saying, I disagreed with him, but ya gotta say the guy was passionate. 

Passionate about everything wrong, but he was passionate.
