democrat Congressman reminds us of how he views the common rabble…
He obviously has a low view of serfs daring to ask him questions. He forgets that here in America, the “serfs” are free citizens, and he bloody well is answerable to them. Hopefully, November will bring some change to North Carolina and this clown will be looking for a new job.
Pointing out leftist hypocrisy
Two conservative women point out the hypocrisy of the sexist liberal bed wetters over at Newsweek.
Lori Ziganto is first, with this delicious bit of snark,
They don’t comprehend that as strong and confident conservative women, lacking an ounce of our liberal counterparts’ perpetual victim hood, we embrace all aspects of our gender. As such, we have no problem looking pretty whilst vivisecting you verbally in an argument. We aren’t simpletons; we can multi-task! And we know that if one appreciates how you look, it doesn’t preclude them from also appreciating your mind and your political discourse. Well, at least it shouldn’t. Evidently, that isn’t possible on the left.
Republicans win Obama’s hometown House seat
Charles Djou won a special election in Hawaii, putting a Republican in Congress representing the district our Dear Leader lived in for many years.

Alongside Night by J. Neil Schulman
This Libertarian novel from 1979 predicted the Obama presidency pretty damn accurately! So much so, the author plans on suing the United States for Copyright Infringement!

“Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) is working hard….to make sure the Feds are watching your every move. Unless you are an illegal alien of course. What passes for Liberalism these days is a strange ideology – American citizens are to be treated as criminals to be kept under continuous government surveillance but if you are a foreigner who enters the country illegally, you should get special dispensations from police questioning. Or unless you are a foreign terrorist overseas or in communication with one. WTF?” — A Few Thoughts on Data Aggregation

“Your Papers Please!” Part 2
As in Part 1, we are not talking about the Arizona law that has wide support among Arizonian citizens.
The evil, anti-civil rights group that is demanding that these kids prove their citizenship, the Obama White House. That’s right, Barack Hussein Obama, current President of these here United States and head of the democrat party.
Our Dear Leader wants a photo op at an American high school, and plans on personally shaking the hand of every graduating senior. Before these high school kids from a “fly over state” are going to be allowed near BHO, who BTW called the recent Arizona law “misguided” and ordered the Justice Department to investigate to see whether the law violates civil rights of illegal aliens, they will have to produce for the authorities:
- Their full name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security Number
- Proof of Citizenship
The smell of the leftist hypocrisy is pretty thick on this Charlie Fox.
Quick Election Update
Arlen Specter, the Senator who switched from being a “liberal” Republican to a “Right of Center” democrat got his reward from the democrat voters in Pennsylvania. Just as he deserved, he lost the democrat primary.
Mean while, in Kentucky, Rand Paul rode the Tea Party wave to Victory in the Republican primary.
Quote of the Day
Ludwig von Mises wrote in 1944:
“The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship. They call themselves revolutionaries, but they want to make the government omnipotent. They promise the blessings of the Garden of Eden, but they plan to transform the world into a gigantic post office. Every man but a subordinate clerk in a bureau. What an alluring utopia! What a noble cause to fight!”
True then, and still true today.
“Your Papers Please!”
Nope, not talking about Arizona, but what congressional Democrats and our Dear Leader want for all Americans.
A national ID card with embedded biometric information that all Americans will be required to carry and show.
Yup, this is going to truly annoy Libertarians and classic Liberals (the folks who’s party got hijacked by socialists).
When Obama said he wanted to be a “uniter”, I don’t think this is what most of the “useful idiots” who voted for him had in mind.
A double shot of dishonesty & ignorance from the left
I saw a recent post from someone who is smart enough to know better, that managed to squeeze Godwin’s Law and the intellectually dishonest “Race Card” into a single package.
They were ranting about the recent Arizona law that allows law enforcement officials to check immigration status in course of standard police investigation.
Attempting to claim this is a “show your papers” law is a clear case of either willful ignorace of the law or clear case of spouting leftist propaganda. Neither of those reflect positively on the poster. Let us get some facts straight that the leftists want left in the dark. First, “illegal” is not a race, so claiming ‘racism’ is a false argument from the start. Then keep in mind that this law is massively popular in Arizona, with 70% of the citizens supporting it. If you think that 70% doesn’t include a big chunk of Americans of Mexican decent (and legal immigrants from Mexico), you need to get out of your local Starbucks and visit the American southwest.
The typical leftist argument ignores the economic and violence issues associated with this issue. The cost of illegal immigrants (and I’m just going to include the ones who are trying to make a better life for them and their families here, God bless ’em and damn the corrupt and incompetent government of Mexico that can’t provide basic safety for its citizens) is driving the border states bankrupt. Even one of the far left liberals who recently ran for the California Governor’s seat admitted this. There is an immigration problem, that the federal government, in a rare fit of bipartisanship, refuses to address, leading Arizona to have to deal with the problem at a state level.
Then there is the violence issue. Legal (and many illegal) immigrants from Mexico came to America to get away from the violent narco-Civil War that is killing more Mexican civilians than the Islamo-insurgents in Iraq are! They don’t like the fact that violent criminals have followed them to America! Mexican Drug Cartels have made Phoenix, AZ the U.S. Kidnap Capital! Add to that, the recent case of a Central Arizonan Sheriff was shot in the stomach with an AK-47 round by a drug trafficking Mexican on U.S. soil!
The case here is much more complex than the knee jerk, and poorly thought out, hate filled arguments the leftists are throwing out.
