Friday B-Movie Pick: Next of Kin
The first is a series of tribute picks to the late Patrick Swayze.
CONSTITUTION DAY!
On this day in 1789, Thirty-nine American Patriots gathered to sign the U.S. Constitution.
Get a copy to carry around and read it in your spare time. It’s not that long. Even a U.S. Congressperson could do if they wanted.
Click here for facts about the Constitution.
I can’t stress this enough, read it, learn it, understand it. Too many people in the federal government don’t want you to do that, which is reason enough to do so.
Worst President in the last 50 years
Our Dear Leader hasn’t finished his first term yet, so I’m leaving him out of the running this time.
This leaves us with the clear obvious choice, that noted Anti-Semite, James Earl Carter IV.
The 39th President of the United States, serving from 1977 to 1981 and without a doubt, the worst President of the latter half of the 20th Century and the last fifty years as well.
Well, this idiot has decided to he wants to prove that he is a hypocritical racist by opening his mouth in public again.
Let us review some of Carter’s embarrassing history.
14 ex-staff members refused to be associated with Carter after he published a clearly racist book.
Fourteen members of an advisory board at the Carter Center resigned today, concluding they could “no longer in good conscience continue to serve” following publication of former President Jimmy Carter‘s controversial book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid.”
“It seems that you have turned to a world of advocacy, including even malicious advocacy,” the board members wrote in a letter, a copy of which was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We can no longer endorse your strident and uncompromising position. This is not the Carter Center or Jimmy Carter we came to respect and support. Therefore it is with sadness and regret that we hereby tender our resignation from the Board of Councilors of the Carter Center effective immediately.”
Victor Davis Hanson reminds of us of Carter’s worst policy failure:
“In his dotage, Carter is proving once again that he is as malicious and mean-spirited a public figure as he is historically ignorant. And for all his sanctimonious Christian veneer, and fly-fishing, ‘aw shucks blue-jeans image, he can’t hide an essentially ungracious and unkind soul. . . . Carter’s Waterloo, of course was the Iranian hostage crisis. It was not just that his gutting of the military helped to explain the rescue disaster. Far more importantly, we can chart the rise of radical political Islam with the storming of the American embassy in Teheran and the impotent response of Jimmy Carter.”
As a noted Anti-Semite, former President Carter should not be trying to lecture others on the topic of racism, but then he is, and clearly always has been, grossly incompetent.
ACORN is in the news again
Filed under: Culture of Corruption, Our Dear Leader, Politics
You may have missed this if you depend on the NY Times for news, but ACORN, an organization with long term ties to our Dear Leader, has been caught providing illegal tax and home loan information to a pair of undercover investigative journalists posing as a pimp and a prositutute.
ACORN was caught not just proving information to cheat on taxes, they also provided information on how to hide under aged illegal immigrant prostitutes from the authorities. This was not an isolated incident either. This occur ed at three separate ACORN offices that we know of so far!
Illegal activity is nothing new for ACORN. Here is a short list of some crimes that they have been involved in:
- ACORN & Vote Fraud in New Mexico.
- RICO charges filed against ACORN
- Vote fraud in Chicago.
- ACORN workers charged with forging voter registrations in Pennsylvania
- ACORN encouraging felon voting in Virginia
- ACORN thugs attack members of the NY Senate
- A former Las Vegas ACORN executive has cut a deal with prosecutors, agreeing to testify against two other defendants in a voter fraud case.
Our Dear Leader had this to say about his ties to this criminal organization:
“I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.” — Barack Obama, Speech to ACORN, November 2007
Keep in mind that all this criminal activity has been funded by your tax dollars!
That may change, the Senate voted yesterday to cut federal funding for ACORN by a 83 to 7 vote.
The seven who voted for continuing federal funding for an organization that supports child prostitution included both democrats from Illinois and the Socialist Senator from Vermont.
The other bit of good news that have come from this investigative journalism on the criminal organization ACORN, is that the Census department has severed ties with ACORN.
This is just a short list of ACORN’s criminal activities. Check out ACORN Watch for a more complete list.
UPDATE: New video from ACORN’s San Bernardino, CA office. This is number four, so far…
Monday Book Pick: Tokyo Suckerpunch
Tokyo Suckerpunch, by Isaac Adamson
The first of his Billy Chaka adventures. Billy is an American writer who covers the Japanese teen scene for American teenagers, and a student of wide range of martial arts. The stories are fast paced fun “urban noir” with Chaka delivering lines that would make Raymond Chandler proud.
Liberal Logic
Liberal democrats who are trying to shove socialized medicine down the throats of the American people tell us that it will be “paid for” by eliminating at least $500 billion is “waste and fraud” in Medicaid and other government run health care systems already in place.
Let’s review this as rational adults. First, if the current government health care programs have $500 Billion in “waste and fraud”, how can any rational being decide that vastly increasing the government’s role in health care is a good idea?
Second, wouldn’t the first rational step be to clean up and recover that $500 Billion in “waste and fraud” in the current government systems in order to gain the trust of the American people before the federal government tries to take over 7% of the US economy?
Our Dear Leader and the so-called democrat “leadership” in Congress are doing neither of these. Instead, they have tried to rush socialized medicine through the House and the Senate as quickly as possible, before the American people would have a chance to see what was being done to them. Fortunately for the American people, that failed.
Grass roots opposition directly from the American people appears to have killed that 1000 page house bill that had so much wrong with it. That was a win for the American people and a loss for the far left extremist democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
New political term: Racer
Racer: (rā’sər) n. Person who makes false claims of racism in order to avoid answering legitimate arguments.
Update: Example: Maureen Dowd, Racer. Why let the fact that Joe Wilson was right, and our Dear Leader was wrong, get in the way of thoughtless smear.
The rational and calm leftist response
Here are two examples of how the left deals with their political opponents.
First we have a Pro-Life Activist shot outside a school.
Second there is a bomb threat against the Tea Party organizers in Washington, D.C.
So much for calm and rational debate.

Obama throws RailRoad security under the bus
Michelle Malkin has the story on how the federal Rail Transportation Anti-Terrorism Unit has been dismantled by Team Lightbringer.
Amtrak’s Office of Security Strategy and Special Operations (OSSSO) grew out of a counterterrorism and intelligence unit developed by the Bush administration in the wake of global jihadi attacks on mass transit systems. The office was staffed with Special Forces veterans, law enforcement officers, railroad specialists, other military personnel, and experts who collectively possessed hundreds of years of experience fighting on the front lines against terrorism. Each member underwent at least 800 hours of rail security-related training, including advanced marksmanship, close quarters, and protective security exercises.
…
According to multiple government sources who declined to be identified for fear of retribution, OSSSO’s East Coast and West Coast teams have not worked in a counterterrorism capacity since the summer. Their long-arms were put under lock and key after the abrupt departures of Amtrak vice president for security strategy and special operations Bill Rooney and Amtrak Inspector General Fred Weiderhold.Weiderhold played an instrumental role in creating OSSSO’s predecessor at Amtrak, the Counter-Terrorism Unit (CTU). He tapped Rooney to oversee the office. But Rooney was quietly given the “thank you for your service” heave-ho in May and Weiderhold was unexpectedly “retired” a few weeks later — just as the government-subsidized rail service faced mounting complaints about its meddling in financial audits and probes.
As I reported in June, Weiderhold had blown the whistle on intrusion of Amtrak’s Law Department into his financial audits and probes. A damning, 94-page report from an outside legal firm concluded that the “independence and effectiveness” of the Amtrak inspector general’s office were “being substantially impaired” by the Law Department – which happens to be headed by Eleanor Acheson, a close pal of Vice President Biden.
She has more details on this criminally incompetent dismantling of an effective part of our National Security infrastructure by our Dear Leader and his cronies. Read the whole thing.
This appears to be part of our Dear Leader‘s ongoing war against the federal Inspector Generals.
