The left’s War on Women

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

As I have pointed out before, if you want to know what the left is up to, just check what they are accusing others of.

Case in point, the so-called “War on Women.”

While giving a get-out-the-vote speech at a Florence, South Carolina political event, Democrat gubernatorial candidate, State Senator Vincent Shaheen, told cheering fans of his opponent, sitting Republican governor Nikki Haley, “We are going to escort whore out the door.”

A so-called “reporter” at CNN by the name of Carol Costello, got on her high hobby horse in defense of “violence against women” when a football player got caught on camera, but she found the story of Bristol Palin being assaulted a source of humor.    The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.

This double standard of the left, where they condone, and even support, violence against any woman who does not support their extremist agenda, is not new.

Conservative columnist Mary Katharine Ham wrote the following ten years ago in about her “liberal” friends response to threats of violence against her.

Why did I deserve it? Because I’m conservative, and to my liberal acquaintances, “conservative” is interchangeable with any number of fun words, like racist, homophobe,  warmonger, and bigot. Even my best liberal friends have refuse to let go of these one-dimensional definitions despite the fact that a three-dimensional specimen has been disproving all of them throughout our friendship. So much for nuance.

In short, I deserved it because I’m a conservative (wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) And when you’re dealing with people as dastardly as conservatives, anything goes.

This same rationale allowed liberal acquaintances to giggle when Ann Coulter was attacked by two young men with pies and shrug as former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris was almost run over. NOW and NARAL would be holding weekly violence-against-women awareness marches if the same had happened to Maureen Dowd and Hillary Clinton.

There was the New York Times’ dreams of an assassination attempt on President Bush and Ted Rall’s double whammy hit on the mentally handicapped and Bush voters. But then came Condi Rice’s appointment to Secretary of State. What a goldmine that was!

Suddenly, racism was an acceptable political tool. Jokes about Mammies and big-lipped caricatures were en vogue. Most of us got the memo that our culture deems these kind of attacks to be about as reprehensible as they get. Liberal cartoonists and commentators got that memo too. But there was no retraction from them, and not a peep from the NAACP or NOW.

Why no outrage? Because Condi deserved it. She’s a conservative, you know.

Calling Condi “Brown Sugar” becomes a reasonable criticism because she is a member of the Bush administration. A physical attack on Coulter is a laughing matter because she is a hawk. Tailing a female acquaintance on a dark night becomes a funny joke because she’s conservative.

It seems to me that this is not the path to a civil political climate or national healing, both of which my liberal friends want. To me, my liberal friends and acquaintances are folks who are a little too soft on national defense and a little too heavy on the government programs for my taste. They do not deserve physical or racist attacks for that, and I do not laugh when they happen. I wish they felt the same way about me.

More vote fraud

Thursday, October 23rd, 2014

You remember Christina “Tita” Ayala, the Connecticut state rep recently arrested on 19 counts of vote fraud.  If you don’t, it probably because it didn’t get much news coverage.  It didn’t promote the news media agenda on two counts.  First, it was an actual case of vote fraud, which they constantly claim doesn’t happen, and she is a democrat.

This wasn’t an “isolated incident” either.  Let us review some recent news.

James O’Keefe Catches CO Dems Advocating “Awesome” Voter Fraud

 “Go F*ck Yourself, Gringo” Says Democrat Operative Caught Openly Stuffing Hundreds Of Ballots

‘Calibration error’ changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county.  Let’s be honest here, it was perfectly “calibrated” for an election in democrat controlled Illinois.  The only error was that someone actually complained about it.

Update: Mr. Reynolds makes the following true statement about democrats, “Remember,  you don’t just have to beat them. You have to beat them beyond the margin of fraud.”

Round Up Post

Sunday, October 19th, 2014

Joe “Plugs” Biden’s son Hunter was booted out of the Navy for failing a mandatory drug test.  In this case, he tested positive for cocaine.  Hunter was only the Navy for about month before his illegal drug use was detected. He needed, not one, but two special waivers to enter the Naval Reserve in 2013. One for his age (i.e over 40), and one for his prior drug conviction.  Waivers are usually given special skills in short supply, not “public relations”, which was Plugs Jr’s Navy job.  It’s pretty clear that the only reason he got those waivers was that his dad is our Dear Leader‘s bullet proof vest. I’m kinda surprised that this story even ran the New York Times.  I’m not surprised that they buried the story on page A22 of the print edition.  If this had been the son of a senior Republican elected official, this would have been front page, above the fold news.  The hypocrisy of the left knows no bounds.

Speaking of Presidents, AoSHQ shows how a President should behave. Here is a hint, it isn’t spending more time on the golf course than in intelligence briefings.

Back to one of Barry’s many, many scandals.  Sharyl Attkinsson is still digging up fresh dirt on the Obama so called “Justice Department” illegally running firearms to Mexican drug cartels.

One of the so called “reporters” at CBS “News” is flaunting her ignorance all over Twitter.

It’s good to know American still has real heroes.  Example: Veteran stands up for 2nd Amendment at Chicago anti-gun forum

In democrat controlled Los Angeles, CA, police have been sending out patrol cars that collect the licence plate number of every car around them.  These “Law Enforcement” agencies have refused to release any information about the data they have collected because, wait for it,  every single car seen is under investigation.  Really.

There was a major Civil Rights victory in Texas.

The democrat Culture of Corruption Marches On

Tuesday, October 7th, 2014

Ask any Obama Kool-Aide ™ drinking leftist and they will tell you that there is absolutely no voter fraud.

They will, of course, be lying.  Here is yet another example. A Connecticut state representative, a democrat, has been charged with nineteen (19) counts of vote fraud. Christina “Tita” Ayala, a democrat representing Bridgeport, was arrested last Friday.  The charges include “voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live” and providing “fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district”.

Most democrats will parrot the party lie about voter id laws “disenfranchising” poor people.  The truth is that democrats are against voter id laws because they make vote fraud so much harder, and they depend on vote fraud to elect their extremist candidates.

UpdateFive Voter Fraud Myths and Truths

Take note of #2 & #4

2. Fact: Voter fraud has altered the outcome of elections. Senator Al Franken (D-Lino Lakes), the Saturday Night Live clown, is in the  United States Senate because of voter fraud.  Franken won his election because Minnesota has same-day voter registration, where a person can register to vote and cast a ballot simultaneously.  Felons were ineligible to vote but did so anyhow — by the thousands (1099 of them to be exact). This means that Franken owes his Senate seats to graduates of Faribault and Lino Lakes.  Remember, Franken won by only 312 votes.  News media in Minnesota contacted many of the felons and they admitted they were proud of their votes for Franken.  Not a one voted for Norm Coleman.  But it’s worse.  Al Franken was the 60th vote to pass Obamacare over a filibuster.  Because of voter fraud, Obamacare passed.

4. Fact: Eric Holder’s Justice Department is facilitating voter fraud.  It isn’t hard to find the ways Eric Holder’s radical version of law enforcement is facilitating voter fraud.  That’s the central story of Crimes Against the Republic.  For starters, multiple individuals have been caught voting more than once in a federal election.  This is a federal felony.  The response from the Justice Department? Crickets.  Take Wendy Rosen (pictured above).  She was a Democrat running for Congress.  We have reached the Alice in Wonderland moment where a Democrat can pen an editorial admitting she violated federal election law and no federal charges ensue.

Her excuse for committing a federal felony?  Because election integrity laws make it hard for the poor and blacks to vote.  She  actually says this.  Maybe Eric Holder isn’t prosecuting Wendy Rosen because 1) Rosen is a Democrat and 2) she  is mimicking Holder’s own talking points.   Such are the lawless ways of the Obama age — felons get a pass as long as they are allies of the president, sort of like the New Black Panthers in Philadelphia.  This is the stuff that makes Americans furious, and the Democrats best beware of the whirlwind they may reap.  Many more examples of Holder facilitating voter fraud are in Crimes Against the Republic.

Round Up Post

Sunday, September 14th, 2014

Former adult film actress Jenna Jameson nails the difference between the first tweets made on September 11 by Gov. Mitt Romney and our Dear Leader, Barack Hussein Obama.  They clearly show that one is a true leader with concern for America and has a real connection to the American people.  The other is a sleazy political hack from Chicago.

The democrats’ War on Women is still in full frontal assault mode.  As I have pointed out before, if you want to know what the left is up to, just review what they are accusing their opponents of.

In a Civil Rights victory, voter-ID is the law of the land in Wisconsin for the November elections.

The New York Times finally admits that the “Assault Weapon” scare was hoax, an attempt to bamboozle the American people, and that the 1994 semi-automatic rifle ban did nothing to reduce crime, violent crime, or crimes committed with a firearm.
