Spot the racist

Wednesday, November 5th, 2014

The 2014 midterm elections are mostly over (there are a few run off races that yesterday’s election generated), and the Republicans won big.  Took back control of the Senate, and won several key Governor races.  They replaced democrat governors in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Illinois.  They also elected the first black Senator from the South since Reconstruction.  Think about that one for a minute.  Southern democrats never elected a black man or woman to the Senate.  Republicans also elected a black woman, Mia Love, to the House of Representatives in Utah.  Ask any “tolerant” democrat, and they will tell you that Utah is full of “racist” Mormons.

Now let us turn to the words of the First Beard of these United States, Michelle Obama. On TV One (“Where Black Life Unfolds”), she said the following:

“And that’s my message to voters, this isn’t about Barack, it’s not about person on that ballot– its about you. And for most of the people we are talking to, a Democratic ticket is the clear ticket that we should be voting on, regardless of who said what or did this– that shouldn’t even come into the equation.”

Followed by: “…I give everyone full permission to eat some fried chicken after they vote. Only after, if you haven’t voted… You make a good point. Because I am, I do talk about health. But I think that a good victory for Democrats on Tuesday, you know, should be rewarded with some fried chicken.”

She is telling a predominantly black audience, that they should vote democrat, not on the issues, but because of the color of their skin.  The fried chicken statement is left as an exercise to the reader.  I do need to add a disclaimer, while I am not black, I did spend a good chunk of my childhood south of the Mason-Dixon line, and I do appreciate good fried chicken.  If you have spend your entire life in the land of Yankees, you just wouldn’t understand.

Mr. Jarlsberg summed it up well: “As the campaign boiled down to its final hours, the Democrats decided to quit pretending that they had anything to offer in terms of ideas or successful accomplishments and instead made blatant, unsupported accusations of racism in order to browbeat black Americans into voting like racists.”

Mrs. Obama’s words bring to mind what our Dear Leader wrote (or had ghost written) in his book “Dreams of my Father.”

“A plantation. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we’d all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our soul for a Christmas turkey.”

Now identify which party is the party of “racists”, and support your choice with actual facts.

The decline of the democrat party

Sunday, October 26th, 2014

Here is a clear example of a decline in economic literacy to start with.

In the early sixties, you had the head of the democrat party saying things like:

“…an economy hampered by restrictive tax rates will never produce enough jobs or enough profits.” — President John F Kennedy

Here in the early 21st Century, we have a former, and probably future democrat candidate for President spouting nonsense like this:

“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and business that create jobs.” — Former Obama Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton

Really, she said that.  What’s worse is the moonbats who actually believe this nonsense.

Let’s go to the video.

It’s not just HRC, back in 2010, another democrat was stumped by the question, “How do you create a job?”

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.

Quote of the Day

Tuesday, August 12th, 2014

“…the sheer “I won” in-your-face immaturity of the Obamaites — remember the “Hey, Hey, Goodbye” chant to Bush at the inauguration — ensured that people would be angrier than normal. And they did that on purpose because a sharply divided nation suited them politically. Now Ron Fournier wonders if Americans would rally behind Obama after another 9/11 the way we rallied behind Bush, and I think the answer is no — because Obama has spent his entire time in office flicking boogers at half the country.

As I’ve said before, the reason why presidents traditionally act “presidential” isn’t because they’re stiffly formal, it’s because acting presidential, rather than purely political, lets you appeal to the whole country in ways that a pure partisan can’t. Obama doesn’t care, and we may very well pay for that, too. But elections have consequences, and when you elect a guy like Obama, the consequences are bad ones.”

A shining example of a modern progressive congressional democrat

Monday, August 11th, 2014

As reported recently,  democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee stated, on the floor of the House, that the democrats never tried to impeach President G. W Bush, despite her being a co-sponsor a bill the democrat controlled House passed to impeach President Bush.

The staff of democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee then not only refused to answer a reporter’s questions about her claim and her sponsorship of the bill, they threatened him with an IRS audit. Not exactly what you expect from a member of the “Peoples’ House” dedicated to Constitutional principles, like the First Amendment. Pretty typical for a modern, so called “progressive” democrat though.

On the other hand, you can understand why her staff is so protective of their meal ticket. SJL appears to be out to unseat current Vice-President Joe “Plugs” Biden as the gaffe master of Washington, D.C..

Her previous deviations from reality include: While observing images from a Mars Rover at the JPL, asking if the rover would pass by where Neil Armstrong planted the American flag; and giving an impassioned speech on the House floor describing how North and South Vietnam are able to work together and how that should be an inspiration to us as well.

For that Mars/Luna mix up, she was voting on the NASA budget at the time. No wonder we have to outsource getting our Astronauts in and out orbit to the Russians.

Round Up Post

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2014

Let’s start with a couple of RKBA related stories.  The city of Chicago, were over 40 people shot and four killed last weekend, has to pay the NRA nearly $1 million in legal fees.  A recent study shows that violent crime has gone down as conceal carry permits have been issued to more law abiding Americans.  This makes sense to anyone capable of rational thought and basic logic.  It makes moonbats go bat shit crazy though, since it doesn’t fit their far left extremist agenda.

Peggy Johnson, who famously said back in 2008 that if our Dear Leader was elected, she wouldn’t have to worry about paying her mortgage or putting gas in her car, has been hit with reality.

 The IRS admits that they scrubbed Lois Learner’s hard drive clean back in 2011.

A federal judge has tossed out a Obama administration request to have law suits against the IRS dropped.  Legal action by nearly a dozen Tea Party groups targeted by the IRS can go forward.  Expect more hard drive “crashes”.
